Introduction to Form Based Codes -Part 2 - TourAPA California Chapter, Orange SectionSanta Ana, CA Form-Based Codes are the latest evolutionary step in the practice of development and land-use regulation. A growing alternative to conventional zoning laws, Form-Based Codes go beyond land use to address not just the physical form of buildings but also surrounding streets, blocks, and public spaces in order to create, protect, and revitalize sustainable communities.
Form-based codes address the relationship between building facades and the public realm, the form and mass of buildings in relation to one another, and the scale and types of streets and blocks. The regulations and standards in form-based codes are presented in both words and clearly drawn diagrams and other visuals. They are keyed to a regulating plan that designates the appropriate form and scale (and therefore, character) of development, rather than only distinctions in land-use types.
The City of Santa Ana recently implemented a form-based code (FBC) in the Artist Village. This code incorporates form-based code concepts and utilizes the Santa Ana Transit Code, includes modules for sustainability and provisions for affordable housing. This walking tour will provide an on-site example of the form-based code implemented in the City of Santa Ana.
Karen Haluza, AICP, Planning Manager with the City of Santa Ana will lead the tour and provide information on the principles and components used in the Form-Based Code. Ms. Haluza will also provide her experience with the implementation of the FBC in the City of Santa Ana.

Ms. Haluza is a planner and community activist whose passion is to preserve and enhance great urban spaces. With over 20 years of experience in local government, she has accomplished this goal through her work on major policy documents and development projects, as well as through direct community involvement. Since being with the City of Santa Ana, Ms. Haluza’s work in form-based codes has resulted in the adoption of two major planning documents – the Metro East Mixed-Use Overlay Zone and the Transit Zoning Code. This far-reaching development code has already begun to transform the way the city views its urban form and its relationship to making a great community, and was recently recognized by the Congress for New Urbanism as an outstanding example of form-based coding. Ms. Haluza holds Bachelor of Arts degrees in Psychology and Social Ecology from the University of California, Irvine, as well as a Masters of Public Administration from California State University Fullerton, where she has been a member of the Adjunct Faculty teaching urban planning.
