Brian Hendricks, representing Community Development Partners ("Applicant"), <br />is requesting approval of General Plan Amendment (GPA) No. 2020-07 to <br />amend the General Plan land use designation of the project site from General <br />Commercial (GC) to Urban Neighborhood (UN) and Amendment Application <br />(AA) No. 2020-05 to change the zoning designation of the project site from <br />General Commercial (C2) to Specific Development No. 97 (SD-97) in order <br />to facilitate the construction of an 85-unit affordable housing development at <br />2530 and 2534 Westminster Avenue. <br />B. The provisions of the California Environmental Quality Act of 1970 (CEQA), <br />Public Resources Code Sections 21000 et. seq., as amended, and the CEQA <br />Guidelines require the evaluation of environmental impacts in connection with <br />proposals for discretionary projects. <br />C. Pursuant to the Guidelines for the Implementation of the CEQA, an Initial Study <br />relative to the proposed project concluded that implementation of the project <br />could result in potentially significant effects on the environment and identified <br />mitigation measures for the development site (2530 and 2534 Westminster <br />Avenue) that would reduce the significant effects to a less -than -significant <br />level. <br />D. The City of Santa Ana prepared a Mitigated Negative Declaration (MND), <br />Environmental Review (ER) No. 2020-48 for the proposed project, attached <br />hereto as Exhibit A and incorporated herein by reference. The MND reflects the <br />City's independent judgement and analysis as lead agency for the project. The <br />Resolution No. 2021-003 <br />Page 1 of 14 <br />
