<br />3.Zoning Ordinance Amendment No. 202204 and Zoning Ordinance
<br />Amendment No. 202205 Jerry Guevara, Case Planner
<br />Legal notice was published in the OC Register and notices were mailed out on
<br />November 3, 2022.
<br />Project Location:The City of Santa Ana, encompassing 27.3 square miles in
<br />Central Orange County.
<br />Project Applicant: City of Santa Ana, Planning and Building Agency.
<br />Proposed Project:At the request of the City Council of the City of Santa Ana, the
<br />Planning and Building Agency has prepared two zoning ordinance amendments
<br />(ZOAs). The first, ZOA No. 202204, proposes to amend sections 41130, 41
<br />130.5, 41522, and 411341, and adds Article XXI (Outdoor Dining on Private
<br />Property) to Chapter 41 (Zoning) of the Santa Ana Municipal Code (SAMC),
<br />establishing permit requirements and placement, development, and operational
<br />standards for outdoor dining areas on private properties. The second, ZOA No.
<br />202205, proposes to amend Section 41121 and adds Article XXII (Mobile Food
<br />Trucks On Private Property) to Chapter 41 of the SAMC, establishing permit
<br />requirements and operational standards for mobile food trucks operating on
<br />private properties. The proposed changes would apply citywide.
<br />Environmental Impact:Pursuant to the California Environmental Quality Act
<br />(“CEQA”) and the state CEQA Guidelines, the adoption of these ordinances
<br />is exempt from CEQA review pursuant to sections 15060(c)(2) and 15060(c)(3) of
<br />the State CEQA Guidelines because it will not result in a direct or reasonably
<br />foreseeable indirect physical change in the environment, as there is no possibility
<br />it will have a significant effect on the environment and it is not a "project," as
<br />defined in Section 15378 of the CEQA Guidelines. As a result, Notice of
<br />Exemptions, Environmental Review (ER) No. 202288 for ZOA No. 202204 and
<br />ER No. 202299 for ZOA No. 202205, will be filed upon adoption of these
<br />ordinances.
<br />Recommended Action: 1. Recommend that the City Council adopt an ordinance
<br />approving Zoning Ordinance Amendment No. 202204 relating to permit
<br />requirements and placement, development, and operational standards for outdoor
<br />dining areas on private properties; and
<br />2. Recommend that the City Council adopt an ordinance approving Zoning
<br />Ordinance Amendment No. 202205 relating to permit requirements and
<br />operational standards for mobile food trucks on private properties.
