As a final review authority on legislative acts, the City Council may, after a <br />public hearing, choose to overrule the ALUC decision with a two-thirds vote of <br />the City Council, if the City of Santa Ana makes specific findings that the <br />proposed project is consistent with the purposes of Public Utilities Code Section <br />21676 and 21676.5. At least 45 days prior to the decision to overrule ALUC, the <br />governing body shall provide ALUC and the State Division of Aeronautics a <br />copy of the proposed decision to overrule along with supportive findings. ALUC <br />may provide comments to the City Council within 30 days of receiving the <br />proposed decision and findings. If ALUC's comments are not available within <br />this time limit, the City Council may act without them. Should comments be <br />received, the City Council must include the comments from ALUC in the public <br />record of any final decision to overrule ALUC. This decision shall be determined <br />at a public hearing to make the specific findings that the proposed overruling is <br />consistent with the purposes stated in Public Utilities Code Section 21670. <br />E. Staff is hereby directed to conduct further studies as necessary in order to draft <br />and provide notice of the findings in support of the overrule. The 45-day period <br />will begin after staff has forwarded the intent to overrule along with the <br />supportive findings. <br />F. The Council's adoption of this resolution is procedural and does not constitute <br />the proposed project's approval nor does it predispose the City's future action <br />on the project or the decision to overrule or not. <br />G. Should the Council adopt this resolution directing staff to conduct further studies <br />as necessary in order to make the findings in support of the overrule, a public <br />hearing will be required for Council consideration of the final environmental <br />impact report, and the GPA and AA applications. <br />Section 2. The City Council finds that this Resolution is not subject to the <br />California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) pursuant to Section 15061(b)(3) of the <br />CEQA Guidelines as the proposed action will not have a significant effect on the <br />environment. The proposed project will be independently reviewed and evaluated <br />pursuant to CEQA. Environmental Impact Report No. 2020-01 (SCH No. 2019080011) <br />has been prepared for the project as a whole and will be presented to the City Council <br />for consideration, along with the requested general plan amendment and amendment <br />application (zone change), at a future hearing date. <br />Resolution No. 2020-xx <br />Page 2 of 4 <br />55C-4 <br />
