ORDINANCE NO. NS-XXXX
AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY
OF SANTA ANA APPROVING AMENDMENT
APPLICATION NO. 2022-01 AMENDING THE ZONING
MAP FOR THE PROPERTY LOCATED AT 1700, 1720,
AND 1740 EAST GARRY AVENUE (APN 430-171-07)
FROM PROFESSIONAL (P) TO LIGHT INDUSTRIAL (M1)
THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF SANTA ANA HEREBY ORDAINS AS
FOLLOWS:
Section 1. The City Council of the City of Santa Ana hereby finds, determines
and declares as follows:
A. Rob Mitchell (“Applicant”), representing Greenlaw Partners (“Property
Owner”) is requesting approval of Amendment Application (AA) No. 2022-01
to change the zoning designation of the property located at 1700, 1720, and
1740 East Garry Avenue (APN 430-171-07) from Professional (P) to Light
Industrial (M1) in order to facilitate construction of a new, 91,500-square foot
industrial warehouse and distribution building.
B. Chapter 41, Article I, Division 1, Section 41-1 of the Santa Ana Municipal
Code establishes that because of the necessity of segregating the location
of residences, businesses, trades and industries; regulating the use of
buildings, structures, and land; and regulating the location, height, bulk
and size of buildings and structures, the size of yards and open spaces,
the City is divided into land-use districts of such number, shape and area
as may be considered best suited to carry out these regulations and
provide for their enforcement. The regulations are considered necessary
in order to: encourage the most appropriate use of land, conserve and
stabilize property value, provide adequate open spaces for light and air
and to prevent and fight fires, prevent undue concentration of population,
lessen congestion on streets and highways, and promote the health,
safety and general welfare of the people, all as part of the general plan of
the City. The City of Santa Ana has adopted a zoning map which has
since been amended from time to time.
C. The entire Project as currently proposed entails, among other things, (1)
demolition of an existing 105,558 square foot office development
consisting of three buildings constructed between 1972 and 1974; (2)
redevelopment of the Project Site with a 91,500-square foot warehouse
and distribution building with ancillary/supportive office spaces and
mezzanines, and associated site and public-right-of-way improvements;
(3) approval of Conditional Use Permit No. 2022-14 to allow the use of the
building as a distribution center; and (4) approval of Amendment
City Council 4 – 1 1/17/2023
Ordinance No. NS-XXXX
Page 2 of 6
Application No. 2022-01 to change the site’s zoning designation from
Professional (P) to Light Industrial (M1).
D. The applicant has demonstrated compliance with all requirements of the
Sunshine Ordinance codified at Santa Ana Municipal Code Section 2-153,
including public notification and hosting of required community meetings.
Materials resulting from the meetings were subsequently posted to the City’s
webpage for the project.
E. On August 22, 2022, the Planning Commission held a duly noticed public
hearing and voted to recommend that the City Council adopt an ordinance
approving Amendment Application No. 2022-01. Following information
received during the public hearing, the Planning Commission continued
the item to its regular meeting on September 26, 2022, after which the
project was continued to its regular meeting on October 10, 2022. During
said October 10, 2022 meeting, the Planning Commission voted
unanimously to adopt a resolution approving Conditional Use Permit No.
2022-14 and to recommend that the City Council adopt an ordinance
approving Amendment Application No. 2022-01.
F. On October 18, 2022 and on October 19, 2022, appellants Molly Greene
with Lozeau Drury LLP, on behalf of Supporters Alliance for Environmental
Responsibility (SAFER) and Melinda Luthin with Melinda Luthin Law, on
behalf of Garry Plaza Office Park Association, filed respective appeal
applications, Appeal Nos. 2022-01 and 2022-02, respectively, for
Conditional Use Permit No. 2022-14. Pursuant to SAMC Section 41-645,
the City Council is authorized to review appeals of Planning Commission
decisions and may, after holding a public hearing, affirm, reverse, change,
modify the original decision and may make any additional determination it
shall consider appropriate within the limitations imposed by Chapter 41 of
the SAMC. The Conditional Use Permit application and two appeal
applications are subject to concurrent City Council consideration with this
Amendment Application.
G. The City Council has reviewed applicable general plan policies and has
determined that this proposed rezoning is consistent with the purpose of
the General Plan. The General Plan identifies on Table LU-A-1 that the
Interim Development Standard for the FLEX-3 area is M1. The subject site
is designated by the General Plan Land Use Element as FLEX-3. This
land use designation by the General Plan encourages developments that
provide context appropriate development in areas with existing industrial
uses. The building has been designed to feature taller height and
contemporary finishes to ensure it remains aesthetically compatible with
the surrounding area, even as adjacent properties may redevelop with
new industrial or mixed-use office, industrial, and/or research and
development uses. The project has been designed to conform to all
applicable standards of the M1 zoning district.
City Council 4 – 2 1/17/2023
Ordinance No. NS-XXXX
Page 3 of 6
H. The City Council, prior to taking action on this ordinance, held a duly noticed
public hearing on December 20, 2022.
I. The City Council also adopts as findings all facts presented in the Request
for Council Action dated December 20, 2022, accompanying this matter.
J. For the reasons contained herein, and each of them, Amendment
Application No. 2022-01 is hereby found and determined to be consistent
with the intent and purpose of Chapter 41 of the Santa Ana Municipal
Code; thus changing the zoning district is found to be consistent with the
General Plan of the City of Santa Ana and otherwise justified by the public
necessity, convenience, and general welfare.
Section 2. The Amendment Application consists of amendments to the Zoning
Map, as shown in Exhibit A, attached hereto and incorporated herein by reference.
Section 3. The City Council has reviewed and considered the information
contained in the analysis performed pursuant to the California Environmental Quality
Act (CEQA) (Environmental Review No. 2021-54). Pursuant to Public Resources Code
section 21083.3 and CEQA Guidelines Section 15183, the Project is exempt from
further review. This type of exemption analysis evaluates whether the potential
environmental impacts of the proposed demolition of three office buildings, which total
105,558 square feet, and construction of a new 91,500 square foot light industrial
warehousing building that would accommodate two tenants, are addressed in the City of
Santa Ana General Plan Update Final Recirculated Program Environmental Impact
Report (GPU EIR). A rezoning that is consistent with an adopted general plan falls
within this exemption.
(A) As set forth in CEQA Guidelines Section 15183(a), projects that are
“consistent with the development density established by the existing zoning, community
plan or general plan policies for which an EIR was certified shall not require additional
environmental review, except as might be necessary to examine whether there are
project-specific significant effects which are peculiar to the project or its site.” The
CEQA Guidelines further state that “[i]f an impact is not peculiar to the parcel or to the
project, has been addressed as a significant effect in the prior EIR, or can be
substantially mitigated by the imposition of uniformly applied development policies or
standards . . . then an additional EIR need not be prepared for the project solely on the
basis of that impact.” CEQA Guidelines Section 15183(c).
(B) The GPU was adopted, and the GPU EIR certified, in April 2022 (State
Clearinghouse Number 2020029087); the GPU went into effect on May 26, 2022. Any
decision by the City affecting land use and development must be consistent with the
GPU. The GPU EIR evaluates the potential environmental effects associated with
implementation of the GPU and addresses appropriate and feasible mitigation
measures that would minimize or eliminate these impacts. A project is consistent with
the GPU if its development density is the same or less than the standard expressed for
the involved parcel in the general plan for which an EIR has been certified, and the
project complies with the density-related standards contained in that plan. CEQA
City Council 4 – 3 1/17/2023
Ordinance No. NS-XXXX
Page 4 of 6
Guidelines section 15183(i)(2). Development density standards can include the number
of dwelling units per acre, the number of people in a given area, floor area ratio (FAR),
and other measures of building intensity, building height, size limitations, and use
restrictions.
(C) The GPU identifies that the Interim Development Standard for the FLEX-3
area is M1. The M1 zone provides for a variety of light industrial uses, including
warehousing, manufacture, assembly, machine shops, and wholesale businesses. The
Project would result in a FAR of 0.42, which is within the projections of the GPU EIR,
which evaluated a density of 3.0 FAR on the site. The GPU EIR adequately anticipated
and analyzed the impacts of this Project and identified applicable mitigation measures
necessary to reduce impacts of the Project, and the Project implements the applicable
mitigation measures.
(D) Specifically, the Project qualifies for the exemption because the following
findings can be made:
1. The Project is consistent with the development density established by existing
zoning, community plan or general plan policies for which an EIR was certified.
The Project would result in a FAR of 0.42, which is less than the maximum FAR
of 3.0 allowable in the FLEX-3 designated area, which is the development
density established by the GPU and analyzed in the GPU EIR. The Project site
has an Interim Development Standard of M-1 (light Industrial zone). The M-1
zone does not have density requirements.
2. There are no Project specific effects which are peculiar to the Project or its site,
and which the GPU EIR failed to analyze as significant effects. The subject
property is similar to other properties in the area, including its land use
designation and zoning. The property does not support any peculiar
environmental features, and the Project would not result in any peculiar effects.
In addition, as explained further in the prepared Exemption Checklist, project
impacts were adequately analyzed by the GPU EIR; and as detailed in the GPU
EIR, development projects pursuant to the GPU, such as the proposed Project,
could result in potentially significant impacts to air quality, cultural resources,
paleontological resources, noise, and tribal cultural resources. However,
applicable mitigation measures specified within the GPU EIR would reduce
potential impacts to a less than significant level.
3. There are no potentially significant off-site and/or cumulative impacts which the
GPU EIR failed to evaluate. The Project is consistent with the density and use
characteristics of the development considered by the GPU EIR and would
represent a small part of the growth that was forecast for build-out of the GPU.
The GPU EIR considered the incremental impacts of the Project, and as
explained further in the prepared Exemption Checklist, no potentially significant
off-site or cumulative impacts have been identified which were not previously
evaluated.
4. There is no substantial new information which results in more severe impacts
than anticipated by the GPU EIR. As explained in the prepared Exemption
City Council 4 – 4 1/17/2023
Ordinance No. NS-XXXX
Page 5 of 6
Checklist, no new information has been identified which would result in a
determination of a more severe impact than what had been anticipated by the
GPU EIR.
5. As explained in the prepared Exemption Checklist, the Project will undertake
feasible mitigation measures specified in the GPU EIR. These GPU EIR
mitigation measures will be undertaken through Project design, compliance with
regulations and ordinances, and through the Project’s conditions of approval.
(E) The Project therefore qualifies for an exemption from additional
environmental review as set forth in Public Resources Code section 21083.3 and CEQA
Guidelines Section 15183. The full exemption analysis is provided as Exhibit 10 of the
staff report accompanying this Ordinance. Based on this analysis, a Notice of
Exemption, Environmental Review No. 2021-54 will be filed for this project.
Section 4. Conditional Use Permit No. 2022-14 and two appeal applications are
subject to concurrent City Council consideration with this Amendment Application.
Section 5. An amended Sectional District Map, showing the above described
changes in use district designation, is hereby approved and attached hereto as Exhibit A,
and incorporated by this reference as though fully set forth herein.
Section 6. The City Council of the City of Santa Ana, after conducting the
public hearing, hereby approves Amendment Application No. 2022-01. This decision is
based upon the evidence submitted at the above said hearing, which includes, but is not
limited to: the Request for Planning Commission Action dated October 10, 2022, the
Request for Council Action dated December 20, 2022, and exhibits attached hereto; and
the public testimony, written and oral, all of which are incorporated herein by this
reference.
Section 7. If any section, subsection, sentence, clause, phrase or portion of
this ordinance is for any reason held to be invalid or unconstitutional by the decision of
any court of competent jurisdiction, such decision shall not affect the validity of the
remaining portions of this ordinance. The City Council of the City of Santa Ana hereby
declares that it would have adopted this ordinance and each section, subsection,
sentence, clause, phrase or portion thereof irrespective of the fact that any one or more
sections, subsections, sentences, clauses, phrases, or portions be declared invalid or
unconstitutional.
Section 8. This Ordinance shall become effective thirty (30) days after its
adoption.
Section 9. The Clerk of the Council shall certify the adoption of this ordinance
and shall cause the same to be published as required by law.

Housing Successor Annual Report for FY 2021-22 – Low and Moderate Income
Housing Asset Fund
RECOMMENDED ACTION
Receive and file.
DISCUSSION
Pursuant to the Dissolution Act, on January 9, 2012 the City Council designated the
Housing Authority as the Successor Housing Agency to the dissolved Community
Redevelopment Agency of the City of Santa Ana (RDA). Effective February 1, 2012, the
Housing Authority retained the housing assets, duties, functions and obligations of the
former RDA and continued to complete the housing development projects encumbered
prior to the dissolution of the RDA.
Senate Bill (SB) 341, signed by the Governor on October 1, 2013, amended the Health
& Safety Code (HSC) Section 34176 and addresses functions to be performed by the
housing successor agencies. This bill, effective January 2014, required all housing
successor agencies to provide an annual report to its governing body within six months
after the end of the fiscal year, starting with FY 2013-14. Among the requirements is an
independent financial audit of the Low and Moderate Income Housing Asset Fund
(LMIHAF), and information regarding specific housing financial data and activities. The
independent financial audit of the LMIHAF was completed after the December 20, 2022
City Council Meeting and, therefore, this report was delayed. The financial audit is
included in the City’s Annual Comprehensive Financial Report (ACFR) for FY 2021-22,
as prepared by the Finance and Management Services Agency and posted on the City’s
website at www.santa-ana.org/financial-reports/ .
Assembly Bill (AB) 1793, signed by the Governor on September 27, 2014, further
amended HSC § 34176.1 to require housing successor agencies to include additional
information on homeownership units assisted by the former RDA or housing successor

agency and/or City within the same time period. If this percentage exceeds 50%, then the
Housing Successor cannot expend future funds in the LMIHAF to assist additional senior
housing units until the Housing Successor or City assists and construction has commenced on a
number of restricted rental units that is equal to 50% of the total amount of deed-restricted rental
units.

TOPIC: Exchange of Storm Drain Easement
AGENDA TITLE
Authorize Exchange of Storm Drain Easements within 1202 West Edinger Avenue
(Applicants and Owners: Mater Dei High School)
RECOMMENDED ACTION
Authorize the City Manager to execute quitclaim deeds relinquishing the City’s interest
in drainage easements at 1202 West Edinger Avenue, in exchange for replacement
storm drain easement.
DISCUSSION
On March 15, 2016, the City Council approved various actions to allow the Mater Dei
High School Parking Structure and School Expansion Project (Exhibit 1).
On June 5, 2018, the City Council adopted a Resolution to vacate portions of Baker
Street, Berkeley Street, and Occidental Street .
Mater Dei High School (Mater Dei) has now completed the construction of a three-story
parking structure at the southeast section of their campus. After construction of the
buildings and associated improvements within the development, the developer
discovered that portions of a storm drain easement conflict with the buildings. To
remove the conflict, the developer has requested the City quitclaim partial interest in the
easement (Exhibit 2), and in exchange, will grant a replacement easement (Exhibit 3).
Generally, storm drain easements provide for conveyance of storm water through
private properties to public facilities. In this case, easements will be granted to replace
the partial easement being quitclaimed.
Consistent with past practices for similar actions, staff examined whether the City would
require compensation for the value of the easement rights being quitclaimed. The
replacement easements cover a larger land area, and therefore no compensation is
needed. Staff recommends quitclaiming the existing storm drain easement in exchange
for receiving the replacement storm drain easement.

AGENDA TITLE:
Award a Purchase Order to VMI, Inc in the Amount of $61,319 for Audio Video
Equipment for the Council Chamber, Playback Room and Control Room (Specification
No. 22-162) (General Fund)
RECOMMENDED ACTION
Authorize a one-time purchase and payment of purchase order to VMI, Inc. for the
purchase of audio video equipment, in the amount of $61,319, subject to non-
substantive changes approved by the City Manager and City Attorney.
DISCUSSION
The council chamber hosts public meetings of the City Council and various boards,
commissions, and committees. Accordingly, the council chamber requires the
technology needed for speaking protocols, data collection and archiving, visual display,
electronic voting, video streaming, and more. Staff assessed the aging video and
related equipment in the council chamber, identified its limitations, and determined that
much of the equipment has reached the end of its useful life. In response, staff from the
Information Technology Department and City Manager’s Office identified an opportunity
to procure new video and related equipment, with the goal of improving the
technological performance of video and related infrastructure in the council chamber.
The Notice Inviting Bids was advertised on November 18, 2022, on the City’s online bid
management and publication system. A summary of the bid invitation and bids received
is as follows:

Clean California Local Grant Program
Transmittal Letter
December 6, 2022
Dear Grant Recipient:
Congratulations on being selected as an awardee for the Clean California Local Grant
Program (CCLGP)! A list of awarded projects can be found here:
https://cleancalifornia.dot.ca.gov/local-grants. Please note the CCLGP is a
reimbursement program. Reimbursable work cannot commence on a project until you
have a fully executed (i.e., signed) Restricted Grant Agreement (RGA) with Caltrans.
Included, is the RGA document for your review and signature. The Agreement will need
to be executed by both your agency or tribe and Caltrans before project work can
begin. This is not a Notice to Proceed. No funds will be released to a grant awardee until
the RGA is fully executed by both parties. Expenses incurred prior to the execution of
the grant agreement cannot be reimbursed or counted towards any local match
requirements for a project.
In addition to the RGA, an Amendment to the Grant Application may be included for
your review and signature based on previous discussions between your agency/tribe
and its District Grant Manager. We encourage you to reach out to your District Grant
Manager with any questions you may have on these proposed changes to the Grant
Application.
A complete RGA package, that includes the following list of documents, will need to be
completed and returned to your District Grant Manager before the RGA can be fully
executed by Caltrans. Copies of forms that need to be completed and samples of
documents have been emailed with this letter.
Checklist of Documents to include in the RGA Package
An updated Payee Data Record (form STD. 204). If you have not done this, please
email this form to Payee.Data.Records@dot.ca.gov and CC your grant manager.
In the email, please request confirmation when the form has been processed by
Payee Data Records and a Vendor ID has been generated.
Even if your agency or tribe has previously completed this form for another project
and has a Vendor ID, please submit this form again, to ensure that Caltrans has
the most up to date information for your agency/tribe and that it will receive
reimbursements in a timely manner.

The Federal Employer Identification Number (FEIN #) can be listed on this form. If
the SSN# is listed instead, please black this out, and once the form is received,
Payee Data Records will call the requestor for the Social Security Number. For
Section 2, Tribes should check “EXEMPT”, and local agencies (e.g., Cities and
Counties) should check “ALL OTHERS”. Section 6 should contain the following
information.
A Board, City Council, or Tribal Government resolution (or similar approval
document) approving the project and authorizing the agency/tribe to execute
the restricted grant agreement with the State of California, Department of
Transportation. A sample resolution has been sent with this letter that you can
complete with your agency or tribe’s information and present to your
agency/tribe. Note, some local agencies have a blanket resolution authorizing it
to receive state funds and identifying specific managers to sign contracts up to a
certain dollar amount. If that applies to your agency/tribe, you can provide this

TOPIC: South Main Street Corridor Improvement Project from 1st Street to Dyer Road
AGENDA TITLE
Approve Budget Reallocations and Amendment to the Project Cost Analysis to Increase
Project Construction Funding for the South Main Street Corridor Improvements Project
(Project No. 17-9001, 18-6911, 20-6958, 21-6451, 21-6461, 21-6014 & 19-6940) (Non-
General Fund)
RECOMMENDED ACTION
1. Authorize budget reallocation of $435,000 in unspent Road Maintenance and
Rehabilitation Account (SB-1) funds from the Bristol Street Rehabilitation: Santa
Clara Avenue to Memory Lane FY 21/22 (No. 22-6990) Project to construction funds
for Main Street Rehabilitation from Warner Avenue to Edinger Avenue (Project No.
20-6958).
2. Authorize budget reallocation of $435,000 in unspent Road Maintenance and
Rehabilitation Account (SB-1) funds from the Bristol Street Rehabilitation: Santa
Clara Avenue to Memory Lane FY 21/22 (No. 22-6990) Project to construction funds
for Main Street Rehabilitation from Dyer Road to Warner Avenue (Project No. 19-
6940).
3. Approve an amendment to the Project Cost Analysis in the amount of $1,320,000 for
$1,320,000 in additional contingency funds and $250,000 in additional inspection
and testing. The new estimated total construction delivery cost is $24,325,389.72,
subject to non-substantive changes approved by the City Manager and City
Attorney.
DISCUSSION
On January 19, 2021, the City Council awarded a construction contract to C.S. Legacy
Construction for the South Main Street Corridor Improvements (Exhibit 1). The project’s
scope of work includes monument signs, enhanced lighting, hardscaping, landscaping,
irrigation, traffic signals, signing, striping, street pavement rehabilitation, sewer main
replacement, and water main repair over a 2.5-mile stretch of Main Street from First
Street to Dyer Road (Exhibit 2).

During construction, unforeseen utilities were encountered along the water main
improvement alignment, requiring additional monies to complete the scope. With the
added scope, additional material testing is needed to ensure compliance with the
contract documents. Staff recommends adding $200,000 in water contingency funds
and $250,000 in additional inspection and testing of Water Utility Capital funding.
As a result of the increased scope of work, the project schedule was extended. One of
the key improvements for the project is the rehabilitation of the existing pavement. The
original schedule projected the completion of pavement to be April 2022, but with
project delays the pavement was completed December 2022. Asphalt concrete unit
pricing has increased since.
In order to account for the price increase in asphalt concrete pavement material, Staff
recommends reallocating $870,000 in unspent Road Maintenance and Rehabilitation
Account (SB-1) funds to complete the project’s paving scope. Funding was originally
allocated to the Bristol Street Rehabilitation: Santa Clara Avenue to Memory Lane
Project (No. 22-6990), but the project start date has been postponed to accommodate
the construction of the Well 32 Rehabilitation Project (No. 13-6433) which falls within
the same project limits (Exhibit 3). The Bristol Street Rehabilitation project scope of
work includes resurfacing the existing pavement and replacing missing or damaged
curbs, gutters, sidewalks, driveway approaches, and wheelchair ramps. The Well 32
Rehabilitation project includes undergrounding work for the installation of 12-inch well
discharge piping, with parallel fiber optic facilities, constructed from the well site at
Morrison Park to the John Garthe Reservoir site. Postponing the Bristol Street
Rehabilitation project to begin after Well 32 will avoid tearing up newly paved street in
order to install Well 32’s underground infrastructure. Well 32 Rehabilitation project is
scheduled to begin Spring 2023 and completed in Fall 2024. Future funds will be added
to Bristol Street Rehabilitation: Santa Clara Avenue to Memory Lane. The increased
construction funds will allow for continued consistency in delivering the project (Exhibit
4).
ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT
In accordance with the California Environmental Quality Act, the recommended actions
are exempt from further review. Categorical Exemption Environmental Review Nos. ER-
2020-103, ER-2020-105, ER-2020-109, and ER-2020-110 were filed for the project

DISCUSSION
The South Main Street Corridor is a diverse and vibrant community with rich history and
culture. The South Main Street Corridor Improvements Project is the implementation of
many years of effort, community input and planning which resulted in the South Main
Street Vision Plan that was adopted in 2016. This project will create a safer and more
vibrant street for the community by revitalizing a 2.5-mile stretch of Main Street from First
Street to Dyer Road (Exhibit 1).
The construction scope of work includes monument signs, enhanced lighting,
hardscaping, landscaping, irrigation, traffic signals, signing, striping, and street pavement
rehabilitation, which will take place concurrently as part of a Water Resources Division
project. These improvements will establish a sense of arrival, safe walkability, and
promote effective placemaking through traffic calming, hardscape softening, and
community monuments.
In order to ensure all infrastructure is addressed as part of the South Main Corridor
project, the Water Resources Division identified needed water and sewer improvements.
The proposed improvements will replace aging and deficient water mains, sewer mains,
fire hydrants, sewer maintenance holes, water services, and sewer laterals within the
project limits. The proposed appropriation adjustment and Capital Improvement Projects
amendments will allow for these improvements to be included and built in coordination
with the South Main Street Improvements (Exhibit 2).
Public Outreach and Contractor Participation
To provide an opportunity for local vendors to submit bids, the City notified a total of 809
regional vendors via PlanetBids, many of which are Santa Ana based. One hundred
fifteen vendors requested bidding documents, and a total of seven bids were received.
Bids were not received from any Santa Ana contractors.
As legally required, a Notice Inviting Bids was advertised in the Orange County Register
newspaper on September 1 and September 5, 2020. The project was also advertised in
PlanetBids from September 1, 2020 through November 4, 2020. Bids were received
electronically via PlanetBids on November 4, 2020.

$9,018,834.03 (Exhibit 3). As specified in the bid documents, the lowest bid shall be
determined on the basis of the Base Bid. The City has the option to add one, all, or a
combination of alternate bids. Based on the bid analysis and a contractor’s reference
check, staff recommends awarding the construction contract to C.S. Legacy Construction,
Inc., in the amount of the base bid and bid alternates 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 7, and 8, totaling
$12,759,695 (Exhibit 4).
A Bid Protest was submitted to the City by the second lowest bidder, Lonerock, Inc. who
challenged the responsiveness of the apparent low bidder. Subsequently, a hearing was
held on November 25, 2020 in which Lonerock, Inc articulated their position on the
Protest. Ultimately, the City’s legal counsel and Public Works staff found the minor
irregularities in the C.S. Legacy Construction, Inc. bid to be immaterial. Staff
recommends waiving the protest and awarding the contract to C.S. Legacy Construction
Inc.
Project Delivery
To deliver a complete project, in addition to the construction contract, the estimated total
project delivery cost includes construction administration, inspection, and testing, along
with an allowance for contingencies to account for unexpected or unforeseen conditions.

PROJECT DESCRIPTION:
Selective demolition and installation of existing non-bearing interior
partitions, electrical, finish ceiling, finishes, and plumbing fixtures.
PROJECT NEED:
Facilities at City Hall and the Ross Annex are currently undergoing floor
renovations. To minimize the impact to daily operations of our
employees and the general public, work has been programmed to take
place in phases. The existing facility on the 3rd floor of City Hall is
outdated and some materials are beginning to show signs of
deterioration and need of replacement. This project will include
updating lighting, plumbing fixtures, finishes, demolition and installation
of non-bearing interior partitions and ceiling finishes. Once completed,
these improvements will enhance not only the physical aesthetics of the
floor but also keep our facility in compliance with the latest building
codes and the American Disability Act.

TOPIC: FY 2022 Patrick Leahy Bulletproof Vest Partnership Grant
AGENDA TITLE:
Approve an Appropriation Adjustment Accepting the FY 2022 Patrick Leahy Bulletproof
Vest Partnership Grant
RECOMMENDED ACTION
Approve an appropriation adjustment recognizing $14,378 in grant revenue from the
U.S. Department of Justice Grants and appropriate same to the Bulletproof Vest Grant
expenditure account. (Requires five affirmative votes)
DISCUSSION
The Patrick Leahy Bulletproof Vest Partnership (BVP) was created by the Bulletproof
Vest Partnership Grant Act of 1998 and the program is administered by the U.S.
Department of Justice, Office of Justice Programs. The BVP program reimburses
counties, federally recognized tribes, cities, and local jurisdictions up to fifty percent of
the cost of body armor vests purchased for law enforcement officers. Since 1999, the
BVP program has provided federal funds to more than 13,000 jurisdictions for the
purchase of over one million bulletproof vests.
The Santa Ana Police Department recently applied for and has been awarded the FY
2022 BVP Program Grant in the amount of $14,378. The BVP grant will facilitate the
Santa Ana Police Department’s ability to purchase armor vests for police officers by
providing the City with up to fifty percent reimbursement for each vest purchased. The
performance period of the grant is April 1, 2022 through August 31, 2024. During the
current Fiscal Year 2022-23, the Police Department anticipates purchasing
approximately 35 vests, at an estimated cost of $838 per vest, for a total cost of
$29,330. Of this amount, the City will be reimbursed $14,378.
FISCAL IMPACT
Approval of the appropriation adjustment will recognize $14,378 in the Department of
Justice Grants, Federal Grant-Direct revenue account (no. 12714002-52000) and
appropriate same to the Bulletproof Vest Grant expenditure account (no. 12714411-

TOPIC: Amend Agreement for On-Call Development Plan Checking Services
AGENDA TITLE
Amend Agreement with Adams Streeter Civil Engineers, Inc. for On-Call Development
Plan Checking Services by an Additional $50,000 Annually for the Remainder of the
Agreement Term (Non-General Fund)
RECOMMENDED ACTION
Authorize the City Manager to execute an amendment to the agreement with Adams
Streeter Civil Engineers, Inc. for on-call development plan checking to increase the
amount by $50,000 annually, for a total annual amount not to exceed $200,000 for the
remainder of the term, subject to non-substantive changes approved by the City
Manager and City Attorney.
DISCUSSION
On June 1, 2021, at the conclusion of a competitive bidding process, the City Council
awarded a three-year agreement to Adams Streeter Civil Engineers, Inc., with the
provision for one two-year renewal option, to provide on-call development plan checking
services for the Public Works Agency’s Water Resources Division. Water Resources
staff review development applications to determine the impact of proposed
developments on the City’s domestic water and sanitary sewer infrastructure, and
conditions of approval are prepared to mitigate development impact. This process
ensures that the development of public improvements is accomplished in accordance
with applicable regulations and meets City standard plans and specifications.
Since the initial agreement was awarded in 2021, staff has observed an increased
volume of development plan submittals, especially those for large developments. Staff
has made an effort to provide greater customer service through improved coordination
with developers and other City staff, as well as accelerated turnaround times. For these
reasons, staff has exceeded the initial estimation of utilization of the contracted
services. Staff recommends amending the agreement with Adams Streeter Civil
Engineers, Inc. to increase the annual funding amount for the remainder of the term in
order to continue to meet the increased demands and provide outstanding customer
service.

DISCUSSION
As of July 1, 2022, park maintenance functions have transferred from the Parks,
Recreation and Community Services Agency to the Public Works Agency. Public Works
Parks is responsible for providing maintenance services to five municipal swimming
pools.
On November 7, 2019, the Parks, Recreation, and Community Services Agency
released a Request for Proposal (RFP) seeking qualified and experienced aquatic
facility operators to provide seasonal and year-round aquatic programs at City pools,
including swimming lessons, recreational/open swim, swim team, and water polo
coaching, aqua aerobics, lap swim, lifeguard training services and pool maintenance.
Blueray Management, LLC. was awarded an agreement beginning January 21, 2020
and expiring January 20, 2021, with provisions for two, 1-year renewal options. The
agreement is currently in its final renewal option period, which is set to expire on
January 20, 2023.
Due to the aging infrastructure, there has been an increased need for pool repairs and
in efforts to increase efficiencies, during this amendment period Blueray Management
LLC. will be required to provide the necessary chemicals and supplies to complete their
services.

TOPIC: Real Property Acquisition for Warner Avenue Street Improvements
AGENDA TITLE
Approve Purchase Agreement in the Amount of $740,000 for Full Real Property
Acquisition for Warner Avenue Improvements Phase 2 (Property Owners: Fidel Solis
and Margarita Solis) (Project No. 18-6901) (Non-General Fund)
RECOMMENDED ACTION
Authorize the City Manager to execute a purchase agreement with Fidel Solis and
Margarita Solis, for the full acquisition and goodwill (if any), of the property located at
909 E Warner Avenue (APN 016-105-21) in the amount of $740,000, subject to non-
substantive changes approved by the City Manager and the City Attorney.
DISCUSSION
Warner Avenue is classified as an East-West Major Arterial in the City’s General Plan
Circulation Element and the County of Orange Master Plan of Arterial Highways.
Improving the one-mile segment of Warner Avenue from Main Street to Wright Street
has been a long-term priority project that is being constructed in several phases.
Improvements include widening the street from a four-lane roadway to a six-lane
arterial, to address safety issues and provide adequate vehicular capacity. Also
included in the project is the installation of parkways, raised median landscaping, storm
drains, protected bike lanes, sound walls, street lights, and traffic signals. The City is
acquiring properties for the development of Phase 2 of the Warner Avenue
Improvements Project, bounded by Oak Street and Grand Avenue. Construction is
anticipated to begin in Summer 2023.
The proposed improvements for the Project originated as a mitigation measure for the
Tustin Legacy Project, which involves the redevelopment of the former Tustin Marine
Corps Air Station as a mixed-use commercial, residential, and industrial project. As such,
the City of Tustin agreed to partially fund the improvements on Warner Avenue between
Main Street and Grand Avenue.
The recommended property acquisition (Exhibit 1) is necessary to accommodate the
street improvements for Phase 2. The purchase offer was determined based on the

currently help monitor negotiations by other consultants and review existing: leases,
licenses, franchises, easements, permits, and other agreements. Additionally, Alliance
will help coordinate the activity tied to all right-of way processes associated with
relocation necessary with transportation improvement enhancements, and related
consultant contracts, including property appraisal, furniture, fixture and equipment
appraisal, business goodwill appraisal, acquisition/relocation, property management
services, and City real estate properties.
Since the expiration of Alliance’s prior agreement for $49,500 on April 17, 2022, the City
agreed to compensate for any services provided, and due to the growing number of
outstanding ROW service projects, the total agreement amount has been maximized.
The consultant has updated rates for service, and additional costs are attributed to the
updated scope of work necessitated by Parks, Recreation, and Community Services
Agency (PRCSA) for activation of vacant lots. The Public Works Agency is thereby

FIRST AMENDMENT TO AGREEMENT TO PROVIDE
REAL ESTATE AND RIGHT OF WAY
COORDINATION SERVICES
THIS FIRST AMENDMENT to the above-referenced agreement is entered into on January 17,
2023, by and between Alliance Consulting Services, Inc. (“Consultant”), and the City of Santa
Ana, a charter city and municipal corporation organized and existing under the Constitution and
laws of the State of California (“City”).

TOPIC: Amendment for Landscape Maintenance Services at City Parks
AGENDA TITLE:
Amend Agreement with DMS Facility Services, to Increase the Contract Amount by
$545,800 for Enhanced Landscape Services of City Park and Park Buildings (General
Fund and Parking Fund)
RECOMMENDED ACTION
Authorize the City Manager to execute the third amendment to the agreement with DMS
Facility Services, to provide landscape maintenance and repairs at City Parks,
increasing the amount by $545,800, which includes a $100,000 contingency, for the
remaining term from January 17, 2023 through January 31, 2024, for a total agreement
amount of $16,038,396 subject to non-substantive changes approved by the City
Manager and the City Attorney.
DISCUSSION
As of July 1, 2022, park maintenance functions have transferred from the Parks,
Recreation, and Community Services Agency (PRCSA) to the Public Works Agency
(PWA). PWA’s Parks, Fleet, and Facilities Division provides landscape maintenance
services at city parks and facilities.
On October 7, 2019, PRCSA released a Request for Proposal (RFP) for landscape
maintenance services, and on February 1, 2020, DMS Facility Services was awarded
the contract for a not to exceed amount of $14,586,000. DMS Facility Services has
provided continuous landscape maintenance and clean up services at city parks and
facilities. Their highly professional and prompt response has been instrumental in
keeping park sites clean and maintained. With the adoption of the City’s FY 22/23
budget, the City Council approved an additional $2.5 Million for park maintenance.
Over the years, there has been a need for an increased level of maintenance services
due to vandalism, theft of our irrigation systems, and the need for cleanup services in
and around landscape areas. The enhanced services are to increase trash pick-ups and
repair damages created by transients; to provide clean and safe park spaces. Secondly,
the increase will allow for an increase in pressure washing of picnic areas, benches,
new trash receptacles, and park amenities providing a welcoming site for residents to
enjoy our parks. Lastly, our aging irrigation infrastructure continues to fail to cause

unnecessary water wasting. DMS Facility Services irrigation technicians will assist with
repairs to the existing irrigation systems, and avoid over and under-watering.
DMS Facility Services has provided high-quality maintenance service to the City since
February 2020. To fund the enhanced services, staff recommends increasing the
agreement amount by $545,800.
ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT
There is no environmental impact associated with this action.
FISCAL IMPACT
Additional funds in the amount of $285,750 are available for expenditure in the current
Fiscal Year 2022-23. Funds in the amount of $260,050 will be included in the proposed
FY 2023-24 budget.

AGENDA TITLE
Amend an Agreement with Bucknam Infrastructure Group, Inc. to Increase the Total
Agreement Amount by $66,286, for a Total Amount not to Exceed $157,286, for
Pavement Management Program and Geographic Information System Professional
Services (Non-General Fund) (Project 22-6898)
RECOMMENDED ACTION
Authorize the City Manager to execute an amendment to the agreement with Bucknam
Infrastructure Group, Inc. to increase the total compensation by $66,286, for a total
agreement amount not to exceed $157,286, for the remainder of the agreement term
expiring October 18, 2023, with two one-year renewal periods, subject to non-
substantive changes approved by the City Manager and City Attorney.
DISCUSSION
The City’s Public Works Agency is responsible for the maintenance, rehabilitation and
reconstruction of over 400 miles of streets. The pavement management program (PMP)
is an essential tool in determining the condition, expected life, recommended
improvements, and associated costs of the City’s pavement assets. This program
enables the City to prioritize pavement rehabilitation projects where they are most cost-
effective. In addition, an updated PMP is required for the City to remain eligible for
Orange County Transportation Authority (OCTA) Measure M2 funding programs and to
qualify for a reduced local match requirement for using those funds.
On October 18, 2021, at the conclusion of a competitive Request for Proposal process,
the City Council awarded a contract to Bucknam Infrastructure Group, Inc. to perform
services necessary to update the City’s PMP and assure the City maintains maximum
funding eligibility. The Public Works Agency is requesting an amendment to the
agreement to increase compensation to perform additional related smart technology
services. These services will include Geographic Information Systems (GIS) mapping
and database updates, the implementation of a new PMP web-portal that provides
robust and instantaneous information for Public Works engineers to make better street
repair recommendations, and the integration of a cloud-based artificial intelligence tool

that will ensure that all street segmentation is up to date and that quantities are verified,
accurate, and reliable. Using this technology, necessary quality control measurements
can be implemented and the City’s PMP street database can be more effectively
maintained over time.
Approval of the Recommended Action will allow the Public Works Agency to refine and
substantiate the City’s street GIS data, necessary Pavement Management Program
data, and support required reporting, as well as citywide mapping, forecasting, and
other data analysis and public requests.
FISCAL IMPACT
Funding for the requested increase amount of $66,286 is budgeted and available in the
approved Fiscal Year 2022-23 Capital Improvement Program (Project #22-6898), from
the Measure M2 Local Fairshare Program (Account No.03217662-66220), any
remaining unspent amounts will be presented to City Council for carryover to FY23-24.

RECITALS
A. The parties entered into Agreement No. A-2021-211, dated October 19, 2021, by which
Consultant agreed to provide Pavement Management Program Updates (“Agreement”). The

optional services to refine and substantiate the City’s GIS data, necessary Pavement
Management Program data, and support required reporting, as well as citywide mapping,
forecasting, and other data analysis / public requests which the City referenced in its Exhibit
A, Scope of Services, but did not detail within the budget for the Agreement.
D. City and Consultant agreed upon an augmented scope of services, dated August 8, 2022,
reflective of the required On-Call PMP/GIS Services, which are deemed an essential tool to
perform annual PMP database, and reporting updates for the City.
E. The parties now wish to amend and augment the scope of services set forth in the Agreement
to complete this vital service and increase the total compensation to pay for services rendered
by the Consultant for said services. No other changes, including extension of the Agreement,
are contemplated by this Amendment.
The Parties therefore agree:

On-Call Pavement Management Program Services
Based on our numerous conversation and discussions with City staff throughout the most recent
2022 Pavement Management Program (PMP) update we have been asked to perform essential
PMP On-Call PMP-GIS services. These include annual PMP database and reporting updates,
reconfiguration of Arterial / Collector segmentation, true area adjustments of city boundary
segments, confirmation of MPAH/Circulation classifications and the implementation of
Bucknam’s MyRoads™.
TASK 1: On-Call PMP / GIS Services
Through these discussions we have proposed the following scope of work for the City’s
consideration. Our services are to be considered “on-call” and will focus on the City’s priority
projects as well as support general PMP tasks. These services will include:
Correcting the City boundary segments within the City’s StreetSaver database
o Assess and correct true area values for shared boundary sections
o Database correction in Streetsaver (length, true area, segmentation)
Re-segmentation of Arterial sections to eliminate directional classification
Confirmation of MPAH street classification based on the latest circulation element
Creation of custom columns tracking:
o Specific AC/PCC applications applied for preventative, rehabilitation and
reconstruction projects (i.e. application type and depth)
o Street designations for truck / bus routes and Average Daily Traffic (ADT)
Publication of Santa Ana MyRoads™ PMP web-portal
General StreetSaver management (i.e. work history data entry, reporting, IT services)
On-Call arterial and local street inspections (as-needed)
GIS management and map production pertaining to the PMP
M & R budget scenarios, general budgetary reporting, PCI deterioration studies
With the combination of the City and Bucknam staff working as a team, pavement management
knowledge, and defined goals, our On-Call PMP support will be essential to the continued
success of the Santa Ana PMP. Any major tasks above and beyond those mentioned herein will
be considered a change in scope; our staff will negotiate additional tasks with the City if they
arise.
TASK 2: Santa Ana MyRoads™ PMP Web-Portal
Santa Ana MyRoads™ Web-Portal – Bucknam’s proprietary MyRoads™ is a great match for the
Santa Ana PMP today and the future. MyRoads™ brings your PMP data to life within a
dynamic PMP dashboard! Bucknam now provides all our PMP clients with a unique and agency
driven “MyRoads™” web-portal that provides instantaneous access to your pavement
management database. This “dashboard” allows users to toggle through individual sections via
City Council 22 – 6 1/17/2023
Scope of Work

On-Call Pavement Management Program Services
GIS mapping selections, zone queries, rank selection, PCI ranges, etc. to review all section
metrics, latest/previous inspections, work histories generate filtered PCI reports and identify
potential maintenance costs based upon your unique needs. Bucknam has shown above a
current MyRoads™ account actively working! This tool will be accessed by City staff simply
through a Username/Password methodology. As changes are made to the Santa Ana PMP
database the MyRoads™ dataset is changed to reflect work history edits, PCI inspections and
section changes.
In summary, MyRoads™ allows the user
perform the following dynamic functions:
Query specific pavement segment(s)
to view current/historic PCI, work
history inspection;
Filter for pavement sections within a
defined zone, PCI range and/or
functional class;
Select a pavement section or
grouping of section through the on-
board GIS tool;
Enter slurry, overlay &
reconstruction unit costs to
determine preliminary cost of
maintenance and resulting citywide
PCI
o Display critical street /
sidewalk / ROW assets along
pavement section(s) that are
critical to Engineering Bid
development and solicitation (ADA ramps, utilities, manholes, trees, etc.
Displays all final GIS project maps (PCI, work history, 5-yr forecasted maintenance, etc.)
Bucknam will train Santa Ana staff on the simply use of the MyRoads™ dashboard

TASK 3: Optional Services – Pavement True Area AI Calculation
First and foremost, the assessment of the City’s pavement segmentation is one of the key
priorities for this project. Within any PMP is essential to verify that all Arterial, Collector and
Local segmentation is up-to-date and that section SF quantities are verified, accurate and
reliable. This will be completed by utilizing the Bucknam-Fuscoe cloud-based learning
technology (AI) to correctly quantify square footages for each pavement section (see sample
below).
Bucknam (powered by Fuscoe’s unique use of cloud-based learning technology technology)
allows our staff to provide the AI with the City of Santa Ana’s most recent aerial image; in doing
so, all AC and PCC pavement areas are immediately calculated for each defined pavement
segment shown in StreetSaver. This instant calculation is possible due to the cloud-based
learning tech’s inherent working knowledge of how to recognize pavement surfaces and asphalt
types (edge of pavement to edge of pavement). All new SF segment true areas will be upload
into StreetSaver and the City’s GIS PMP layer.
This ability will allow Bucknam to obtain the necessary quality control measurements for all
Santa Ana PMP segments and to perform segment SF variance reports. This will in turn creates
a more accurate total centerline / square footage of the Santa Ana network as well as for each
unique pavement segments.
Within our proposed fee, we have demonstrated the cost per functional classification as well as
citywide.

TOPIC: Amend an Agreement for Volume Licensing and Maintenance for Microsoft
Software and Products
AGENDA TITLE:
Approve and Amend a Three-year Agreement for Volume Licensing and Maintenance
for Microsoft Software and Products through Software One, Inc. for an Amount not to
Exceed $1,500,000 (Non-General Fund)
RECOMMENDED ACTION
Approve and amend an agreement to renew licensing solution provider agreement with
Software One, Inc. for the purchase of Microsoft software licenses, for a three-year
period, beginning February 1, 2023, through January 31, 2026, in the amount not to
exceed $1,500,000, subject to non-substantive changes approved by the City Manager
and City Attorney.
DISCUSSION
The City of Santa Ana licenses many products from Microsoft Corporation. The City’s
core software infrastructure is based on Microsoft’s desktop, server, collaboration and
development products. The Microsoft Enterprise Agreement positions the City to
continue to acquire product licenses at a volume discount.
The risk from the liability of using unlicensed Microsoft products could be monetarily
very large. Purchasing a Microsoft enterprise volume license for the entire organization
is a cost effective means for managing Microsoft software as a resource and greatly
simplifies licensing by requiring a single transaction to acquire licenses for the City. In
addition, the enterprise volume license allows the City to obtain software assurance,
which will provide the City with the legal right to continue to receive the current version
of some Microsoft products used by the City, including our Exchange Server,
SharePoint Server, Windows Servers, and SQL Server databases. The City is opting to
not maintain software assurance on the MS Office Suite of products in anticipation of
moving to Office 365 within the next three to five years.
The City of Santa Ana purchases Microsoft software licenses through a joint, volume

licensing program known as the County of Riverside’s Microsoft Enterprise Agreement
(‘MSEA’). This request is for a renewal of the City’s MSEA. The County of Riverside’s
master agreement with Microsoft (exhibits 1), is based on participation of any county,
city, and special district in the state. The very large volume of Microsoft products used
by these statewide agencies has allowed the County of Riverside to obtain deep
discounts for these products which in turn are passed on to agencies participating under
this master agreement with Microsoft.
Specifically, this is a request for the City to participate in the volume licensing and

Staff Report

TOPIC: Immigration Legal Defense Services
AGENDA TITLE:
Approve an Amendment to the Agreement with Immigrant Defenders Law Center For
Immigration Legal Defense Services for a Two-Year Term in an Amount not to Exceed
$400,000 (General Fund)
RECOMMENDED ACTION
Authorize the City Manager to execute an amendment to the agreement with Immigrant
Defenders Law Center to provide immigration legal defense services to Santa Ana
residents, for a term beginning February 1, 2023 and ending January 31, 2025, in an
amount not to exceed $400,000, subject to non-substantive changes approved by the
City Manager and City Attorney.
DISCUSSION
On March 16, 2021, the City entered into an agreement with Immigrant Defenders Law
Center (ImmDef) to serve as the City's legal service provider (LSP) to provide
immigration legal defense services. These services are provided under the universal
representation model: providing publicly funded universal representation for anyone in
immigration proceedings who cannot afford a lawyer (akin to public defense in criminal
cases). Whereas traditional legal service programs may identify eligibility for
representation through screening for viable immigration relief, the universal
representation model ensures each client, regardless of potential relief, is given an
opportunity to be heard. ImmDef works closely with community-based organizations,
such as the Orange County Rapid Response Network, Resilience Orange County,
Santa Ana - Building Healthy Communities, the Public Law Center, legal service
providers, and other immigration advocates to ensure that their services are accessible
to the Santa Ana community.
ImmDef's clients represent a wide cross- section of Santa Ana residents, including
single mothers, fathers, homeless individuals, youth, older adults, and victims of
domestic violence. Client examples include a long-time Santa Ana resident single

mother fleeing domestic violence, a father of six U.S. citizen children, and a young man
fleeing his abusive father in his home country.
To ensure continuity of service delivery, staff recommends amending the existing
agreement with ImmDef to extend the term for an additional two years. The amendment
to the agreement provides the same $200,000 annual budget, for a total not-to-exceed
amount of $400,000 for the two-year period.
ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT
There is no environmental impact associated with this action.

TOPIC: Amendment to the Agreement with The Counseling Team International
AGENDA TITLE:
Approve Amendment to the Agreement with The Counseling Team International in the
amount of $6,145 for Law Enforcement Psychological Services (General Fund)
RECOMMENDED ACTION
Authorize the City Manager to execute an amendment to the agreement with The
Counseling Team International in an amount not to exceed $6,145 for law enforcement
psychological services for a total aggregate amount not to exceed $84,145 for the
agreement term ending on September 30, 2025, subject to non-substantive changes
approved by the City Manager and City Attorney.
DISCUSSION
The Santa Ana Police Department utilizes contract psychologists to provide pre-
employment screenings, employee support and counseling, critical incident counseling,
training, and SWAT consultation. On October 4, 2022, the City Council authorized a
new agreement with The Counseling Team International (TCTI) to provide law
enforcement psychological services for a three year period. TCTI was one of three
selected consultants to provide these services.
After the approval of the agreement, the Police Department became aware of past-due
invoices totaling $6,145 for services rendered by TCTI under the previous agreement
that expired on September 30, 2022. Due to insufficient contract authority remaining on
the now expired agreement, the Department is unable to compensate TCTI for past
services rendered. Therefore, this amendment is necessary to increase the total not-to-
exceed amount from $78,000 to $84,145 and add language to include these
outstanding invoices.
FISCAL IMPACT
Funds in the amount of $6,145 for this amendment are available in the Human
Resources, Contract Services account (no. 01114402-62300).

Staff Report
January 17, 2023
TOPIC: Updated Hazard Mitigation Plan
AGENDA TITLE:
City of Santa Ana Updated Hazard Mitigation Plan
RECOMMENDED ACTION
Adopt a resolution approving the updated 2022 Hazard Mitigation Plan and direct staff
to submit the resolution to the Federal Emergency Agency Management Agency
(FEMA) for final approval of the Plan.
DISCUSSION
The Disaster Mitigation Act of 2000 requires communities to develop, implement and
update hazard mitigation plans recognizing potential natural hazards and to identify and
consider mitigation measures to reduce the risks associated with those hazards. The
Plan is a tool to aid facility and infrastructure planning and improvements and is
required to qualify for federal hazard mitigation grants. FEMA approved the City’s prior
Hazard Mitigation Plan in 2005.
A Local Hazard Mitigation Plan (HMP) identifies the primary natural hazards that may
impact the City, such as earthquakes, flood, or drought. Next, it estimates the losses
that could be expected to occur, such as injuries, deaths, property damage, or
economic loss. Finally, the Plan identifies and prioritizes projects that can be performed
beforehand to reduce the expected losses, including seismic retrofitting of buildings,
improvements to flood control infrastructure, strengthening other critical infrastructure,
or improvements to building codes or other regulatory protections. Once an HMP is
reviewed and approved by the State of California and FEMA and formally adopted by
the City, the City will become eligible to apply for hazard mitigation funding to complete
the mitigation projects identified in the Plan.
On May 5, 2020, the City received Hazard Mitigation Grant Program (HMGP) funding
(per City Council resolution) to hire a contractor to assist the City in researching,
drafting, and submitting a Plan. The HMP planning process began in November 2020
with assistance from Emergency Planning Consultants (EPC) and the City’s Hazard
City Council 26 – 1 1/17/2023

Mitigation Planning Team, made up of representatives from the City Manager’s Office,
Finance and Management Services, Planning and Building, Police and Public Works
Departments as well as Orange County Fire Authority and Santa Ana Unified School
District. Six Planning Team meetings were held before issuing the First Draft of the
HMP. Through the planning process, the Planning Team developed a Mitigation Actions
Matrix that identifies desired and planned projects, including those from existing City
plans, including the General Plan and Capital Improvement Program, and reflects the
following goals: (1) protect life and property, (2) enhance public awareness, (3) preserve
natural systems, (4) encourage partnerships and implementation, and (5) strengthen
emergency services.
The Planning Team invited the public to participate in the planning process by making
the Second Draft Plan available during the plan-writing phase. External agencies were
provided an invitation to comment on the Second Draft Plan. Emails were distributed to
external agencies and staff on September 1, 2021, containing a link to the Second Draft
Plan’s web posting. Emails were distributed to Nixle subscribers and posted on social
media on September 9, 2021, including a link to the Second Draft Plan’s web posting.
Adoption of the HMP will allow the City to seek mitigation grant funding when funding
opportunities become available. In addition, the HMP will be a living document to be
reviewed by Planning Team members annually to ensure the Mitigation Actions Matrix
is implemented.
FEMA issued a letter of Approval Pending Adoption of the updated Plan on September
23, 2022, stating that the local jurisdiction’s governing body must adopt the updated
Plan prior to FEMA issuing a Final Letter of Approval. Therefore, staff is seeking a
resolution adopting the updated Hazard Mitigation Plan.
ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT
Pursuant to the California Environmental Quality Act (“CEQA”) and CEQA Guidelines,
adoption of this Resolution is exempt from CEQA review pursuant to section
15061(b)(3), in that CEQA applies only to projects which have the potential for causing
a significant effect on the environment, and staff found that there is no possible
significant effect directly related to the Plan. Further, CEQA Guidelines Sections 15262
and 15269 provide additional guidance that the Project is a planning study that does not
tacitly approve projects that would otherwise require independent environmental review
under CEQA.
FISCAL IMPACT
There is no fiscal impact associated with this action.

WHEREAS, the 2022 Hazard Mitigation Plan recommends mitigation activities that
will reduce losses to life and property affected by both natural and human -caused hazards
that face the City; and
WHEREAS, pursuant to the California Environmental Quality Act (“CEQA”), City
Staff determined that the adoption of the 2022 Hazard Mitigation Plan (”Project”) is
covered by the general rule, pursuant to Section 15061(b)(3) of the State CEQA

potential for causing a significant effect on the environment, and City Staff found that there

require independent environmental review under CEQA; and
WHEREAS, the Federal Emergency Management Agency (“FEMA”) has issued a
letter to the City of Approval Pending Adoption on September 23, 2022, and the updated
HMP must be adopted by the local jurisdiction’s governing body prior to FEMA issuing a
Final Letter of Approval.
NOW, THEREFORE, THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF S AN T A
A N A , RESOLVES AS FOLLOWS:
Section 1. The City Council finds that all of the facts set forth in the Recitals of
this Resolution are true and correct.
Section 2. The City Council has reviewed the Project and, based upon the
whole record before it, in the exercise of its independent judgment and analysis, concurs
that the adoption of the City of Santa Ana 2022 Hazard Mitigation Plan is exempt from
consideration under the California Environmental Quality Act (“CEQA”) pursuant to CEQA
Guidelines Section 15061 (b)(3) because it can be seen with certainty that there is no
possibility that the adoption of this Plan, in and of itself, may have a significant effect on
the environment; and future projects described within the Plan may be subject to
independent environmental review pursuant to CEQA, and therefore no further action is
required under CEQA at this time.
Section 3. If section, subsection, sentence, clause, phrase or word of this
Resolution is for any reason held to be invalid by a court of competent jurisdiction, such
decision shall not affect the validity of the remaining portions of this Resolution. The City
Council hereby declares that it would have passed and adopted this Resolution, and each
and all provisions hereof, irrespective of the fact that one or more provisions may be
declared invalid.
Section 4. This Resolution shall take effect immediately upon its adoption by the
City Council, and the Clerk of the Council shall attest to and certify the vote adopting this
Resolution.

Part I: PLANNING PROCESS
Introduction
Q&A | ELEMENT A: PLANNING PROCESS | A1b.
Q: Does the plan list the jurisdiction(s) participating in the plan that are seeking approval? (Requirement
§201.6(c)(1))
A: See Introduction below.
The Hazard Mitigation Plan (Mitigation Plan) was prepared in response to the Disaster Mitigation
Act of 2000 (DMA 2000). DMA 2000 (also known as Public Law 106-390) requires state and local
governments to prepare mitigation plans to document their mitigation planning process, and
identify hazards, potential losses, mitigation needs, goals, and strategies. This type of planning
supplements City of Santa Ana emergency management planning programs. The City’s first
hazard mitigation plan was approved by FEMA on May 10, 2005.
Although the City may face a wide range of potential hazards, FEMA’s hazard mitigation planning
requirements focus on natural hazard events. Other hazards are analyzed and discussed in the
City’s Emergency Operations Plan.
Q&A | ELEMENT A: PLANNING PROCESS | A4
Q: Does the plan describe the review and incorporation of existing plans, studies, reports, and technical
information? (Requirement §201.6(b)(3))
A: See Planning Approach below.
Planning Approach
The four-step planning approach outlined in the FEMA publication, Developing the Mitigation
Plan: Identifying Mitigation Actions and Implementing Strategies (FEMA 386-3) was used to
develop this plan:
✓ Develop mitigation goals and objectives - The risk assessment (hazard characteristics,
inventory, and findings), along with municipal policy documents, were utilized to
develop mitigation goals and objectives.
✓ Identify and prioritize mitigation actions - Based on the risk assessment, goals and
objectives, existing literature/resources, and input from participating entities, mitigation
activities were identified for each hazard.
✓ Prepare implementation strategy - Generally, high priority activities are recommended
for implementation first. However, based on organizational needs and goals, project
costs, and available funding, some medium or low priority activities may be
implemented before some high priority items.
✓ Document mitigation planning process - The mitigation planning process is
documented throughout this plan.

Q&A | ELEMENT C. MITIGATION STRATEGY | C2
Q: Does the plan address each jurisdiction’s participation in the NFIP and continued compliance with NFIP
requirements, as appropriate? (Requirement §201.6(c)(3)(ii))
A: See NFIP Participation below.
National Flood Insurance Program
Established in 1968, the NFIP provides federally backed flood insurance to homeowners, renters,
and businesses in communities that adopt and enforce floodplain management ordinances to
reduce future flood damage.
Established in 1968, the NFIP provides federally backed flood insurance to homeowners, renters,
and businesses in communities that adopt and enforce floodplain management ordinances to
reduce future flood damage. The City of Santa Ana adopted a floodplain management ordinance
and has Flood Insurance Rate Maps (FIRM) that show floodways, 100-year flood zones, and 500-
year flood zones. The Executive Director of Planning & Building and the Executive Director of
Public Works are designated as the floodplain administrator.
NFIP Participation
The City of Santa Ana participates in NFIP and the FEMA FIRM maps for the City were last
updated December 3, 2009. These studies and maps represent flood risk at the point in time
when FEMA completed the studies and does not incorporate planning for floodplain changes in
the future due to new development. Although FEMA is considering changing that policy, it is
optional for local communities. According to FEMA, the City is located within flood Zones X, A,
AE, AH, and AO.
Q&A | ELEMENT B: HAZARD IDENTIFICATION AND RISK ASSESSMENT | B4
Q: Does the Plan address NFIP insured structures within the jurisdiction that have been repetitively
damaged by floods? (Requirement §201.6(c)(2)(ii))
A: See Repetitive Loss Properties below.
Repetitive Loss Properties
Repetitive Loss Properties (RLPs) are most susceptible to flood damages; therefore, they have
been the focus of flood hazard mitigation programs. Unlike a Countywide program, the Floodplain
Management Plan (FMP) for repetitive loss properties involves highly diversified property profiles,
drainage issues, and property owner’s interest. It also requires public involvement processes
unique to each RLP area. The objective of an FMP is to provide specific potential mitigation
measures and activities to best address the problems and needs of communities with repetitive
loss properties. A repetitive loss property is one for which two or more claims of $1,000 or more
have been paid by the National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP) within any given ten-year period.
According to FEMA resources, none of the City owned facilities are designated as a Repetitive
Loss Property (RLPs).

Q&A | ELEMENT A: PLANNING PROCESS | A1b.
Q: Does the plan list the jurisdiction(s) participating in the plan that are seeking approval? (Requirement
§201.6(c)(1))
A: See Planning Process below.
Planning Process
Throughout the project, the Planning Team served as the primary stakeholders while also making
a concerted effort to gather information from the general public, external agencies (utility providers
and special districts). In addition, the Planning Team solicited information from agencies and
people with specific knowledge of hazards and past historical events, as well as building codes
and facilities maintenance planning. The hazard mitigation strategies contained in this plan were
developed through an extensive planning process involving City staff, general public, and external
agencies.
Following review and input by the Planning Team to the First Draft Plan, next (still during the Plan
Writing Phase), the Second Draft Plan was shared with the general public and external agencies
(adjoining jurisdictions, utility providers, special districts, etc.). The general public and external
agencies served as the secondary stakeholders. Next, the comments gathered from the
secondary stakeholders were incorporated into a Third Draft Plan which was submitted to Cal
OES and FEMA along with a request for a determination of “Approval Pending Adoption”.
Next, the Planning Team completed amendments to the Plan to reflect mandated input by Cal
OES and FEMA. The Final Draft Plan was then posted in advance of the City Council public
meeting. Any comments gathered were included in the staff report to the City Council. Following
adoption by the City Council, proof of adoption was forwarded to FEMA with a request for
approval. The FEMA Letter of Approval was included in the Final Plan. The planning process
described above is portrayed below in a progression:

Q&A | ELEMENT E: PLAN ADOPTION | E1
Q: Does the plan include documentation that the plan has been formally adopted by the governing body
of the jurisdiction requesting approval? (Requirement §201.6(c)(5))
A: See Plan Adoption Process below.
Plan Adoption Process
Adoption of the plan by the local governing body demonstrates City’s commitment to meeting
mitigation goals and objectives. Governing body approval legitimizes the plan and authorizes
responsible agencies to execute their responsibilities.
The Third Draft Plan was submitted to Cal OES and FEMA for review and approval. FEMA issued
an Approval Pending Adoption on September 23, 2022 requiring the adoption of the Plan by the
City Council. The adoption resolution was submitted to FEMA along with a request for a FEMA
Letter of Approval.
In preparation for the public meeting with the City Council, the Planning Team prepared a Staff
Report including an overview of the Planning Process, Risk Assessment, Mitigation Goals, and
Mitigation Actions. The staff presentation concluded with a summary of the input received during
the public review of the document. The meeting participants were encouraged to present their
views and make suggestions on possible mitigation actions.

The City will incorporate mitigation planning as an integral component of daily operations. This
will be accomplished by the Planning Team working with their respective departments to integrate
mitigation strategies into the planning documents and City operational guidelines. FEMA
identifies four types of capabilities:
✓ Planning and Regulatory
✓ Administrative and Technical
✓ Financial
✓ Education and Outreach
The table below includes a broad range of capabilities within the City to successfully accomplish
mitigation.

Q&A | ELEMENT B3:
Q: Is there a description of each identified hazard’s impact on the community as well as an overall
summary of the community’s vulnerability for each jurisdiction? (Requirement §201.6(b)(3))
A: See Location and the Environment below.
Location and the Environment
According to the City’s website, Don Gaspár de
Portolá, a Spanish expedition party leader,
discovered a picturesque valley and river in
Southern California, which he christened Santa
Ana, in honor of Saint Anne, on July 26, 1769.
José Antonio Yorba, a youthful expedition
soldier, and his nephew Juan Peralta, were
given a Spanish land grant for the area. They
developed the Rancho Santiago de Santa Ana
for cattle grazing and productive farmland. In
1869, William H. Spurgeon purchased 70 acres
from the Yorba family and plotted a town site.
The new town was given the name Santa Ana.
In 1886, Santa Ana was incorporated as a city.
Orange County was separated from Los Angeles
in 1889, and Santa Ana was designated the
County Seat. Santa Ana is the financial and
governmental center of Orange County and a
major city in the state.
According to the City of Santa Ana General Plan, Public Draft (2020), Santa Ana has a long,
dynamic history of growth and development, starting from its establishment in 1869 (and later
incorporation in 1886) on just over 74 acres of land. In the past 151 years, the City, which sits at
115 feet elevation and 35 meters above sea level, has grown to encompass over 27 square miles,
with a population of more than 330,000 residents and businesses and institutions employing over
160,000 workers (both as of 2020). By the 1990s, very little vacant land remained in the City;
new growth since then has largely involved the recycling and intensification of already developed
properties. In the past 15 years, dozens of unique and creative projects have infused new life
and investment into the City. The City has also expanded beyond its historic role as the civic
center of Orange County. It is emerging as the county’s cultural and economic hub.

Q&A | ELEMENT D: MITIGATION STRATEGY | D1
Q: Was the plan revised to reflect changes in development? (Requirement §201.6(d)(3))
A: See Changes in Development below
Changes in Development
Since its incorporation, Santa Ana has grown into a flourishing urban city. As such, the City of
Santa Ana has essentially been built out for many years, with very little vacant land remaining for
new development. Since the 2005 Hazard Mitigation Plan, the majority of development in the
City has consisted remodeling of existing structures or redevelopment of properties requiring
demolition and replacement of existing buildings.
Since the adoption of the 2005 Plan, there have been no significant alterations to the development
pattern of the City in the hazard prone areas. This conclusion was reached after a thorough
review of the General Plan and discussion with the Planning Team. Furthermore, the Planning
Team concluded the overall vulnerability to identified hazards remained approximately the same.

Risk Assessment
What is a Risk Assessment?
Conducting a risk assessment can provide information regarding: the location of hazards; the
value of existing land and property in hazard locations; and an analysis of risk to life, property,
and the environment that may result from natural hazard events. Specifically, the five levels of a
risk assessment are as follows:
1. Hazard Identification
2. Profiling Hazard Events
3. Vulnerability Assessment/Inventory of Existing Assets
4. Risk Analysis
5. Assessing Vulnerability/Analyzing Development Trends

This section is the description of the geographic extent, potential intensity, and the probability of
occurrence of a given hazard. Maps are used in this plan to display hazard identification data.
The City of Santa Ana utilized the categorization of hazards as identified in California’s State
Hazard Mitigation Plan, including Earthquakes, Floods, Levee Failures, Wildfires, Landslides and
Earth Movements, Tsunami, Climate-Related Hazards, Volcanoes, and Other Hazards.
Next, the Planning Team reviewed existing documents to determine which of these hazards
posed the most significant threat to the City and its ability to deliver services. In other words,
which hazard would likely result in a proclamation of local emergency.

HAZUS-MH
The hazard maps in the Mitigation Plan were
generated by Emergency Planning Consultants
using FEMA’s Hazards United States – Multi Hazard
(HAZUS-MH) software program. The HAZUS
complete reports are attached separately.
Once the location and size of a hypothetical
earthquake are identified, HAZUS-MH estimates the
intensity of the ground shaking, the number of
buildings damaged, the number of casualties, the
amount of damage to transportation systems and
utilities, the number of people displaced from their
homes, and the estimated cost of repair and clean
up. It’s important to note that the “project area” is based on Census Tracts not jurisdictional
boundaries.
As per FEMA’s HAZUS Guidebook, HAZUS is a GIS-based software that can be used to estimate
potential damage, economic loss, and social impacts from earthquake, flood, tsunami and
hurricane wind hazards. The HAZUS software includes nationwide general GIS datasets, and a
model for the four natural disasters below. The model results can support the risk assessment
piece of mitigation planning.

Hazard Mitigation Plan | 2022
Risk Assessment
- 41 -
Graphic: Model Results to Support Risk Assessment for Mitigation Planning
(Source: Using HAZUS for Mitigation Planning, Federal Emergency Management Agency, 2018)
HAZUS is packaged with datasets that include building inventories and infrastructure for the entire
United States. Because HAZUS is currently built on GIS technology, the inventory and
infrastructure datasets can be mapped and intersected with the hazard information created from
the four models.
Following the intersection, HAZUS determines the effects of wind, ground shaking, and water
depths on buildings and infrastructure to calculate losses and damages. The outputs and
estimates can be used in hazard mitigation planning, emergency response, and planning for
recovery and reconstruction.
Losses estimated in HAZUS are based on the accuracy of input data. Basic analysis can be
developed using the default data and parameter data provided within HAZUS. Users can conduct
more advanced analysis using more accurate data that is specific to the region, hazard,
population, etc. User-supplied data improves the accuracy of inventories and/or parameters.
Advanced-level analyses may also incorporate data from third-party studies. The user must
determine the appropriate level of analysis to meet the user’s needs and resources.
HAZUS analysis can be performed at three different levels:
• A Level 1 basic analysis can be performed simply using the default data provided. This
level of analysis is very coarse, and because the results will be subject to a much higher
level of uncertainty, this should serve primarily as a baseline for further study. The user

- 42 -
will still be able to produce basic maps and results. Limited additional data will be required
to complete the flood analysis. Site specific input data produces more accuracy in
vulnerability identification and loss estimation amounts. If the data is available, it is highly
recommended that a user integrate site specific data to reduce uncertainty associated with
the results of default data. Using a user defined depth grid, in the flood model, against
default state data is classified as a level 1 analysis and is the recommendation of HAZUS
Program.
• A Level 2 advanced analysis increases the accuracy and precision of an analysis by
incorporating user-supplied data relevant to a given hazard. While the data included with
the HAZUS software can be utilized to run a basic level one analysis, level two inputs are
supplied by local sources and contain a higher level of detail. This can include datasets
that model the hazards in more detail, or datasets that increase the accuracy of the
inventory information. Incorporating more detailed data will improve the quality of the
results. Level 2 is broadly defined as the incorporation of user-defined hazard and
updated GBS or site-specific data.
• A Level 3 advanced analysis achieves the highest degree of precision and involves
modifying or substituting the model parameters and/or equations, relevant to a given
hazard. Users can modify inputs depending on the time and resources available. Keeping
track of the data used is suggested so that any relationships between input and results is
documented. It is usually done by advanced users experienced with both the hazard and
the HAZUS software.
FEMA’s Natural Hazard Risk Assessment Program (NHRAP) encourages users to conduct Level
2 or 3 analyses to improve the accuracy of results and recommends the use of user defined data
(e.g., depth grids for all flood analysis) for mitigation planning.
Graphic: HAZUS Analysis Levels
(Source: Using HAZUS for Mitigation Planning, Federal Emergency Management Agency, 2018)
HAZUS creates credible estimates for losses and damages; datasets created on the local level
typically provide greater detail than the datasets that are packaged with HAZUS (Level 1).
Incorporating local datasets into the analysis will improve the results.
City Council 26 – 48 1/17/2023
Hazard Mitigation Plan | 2022

It’s important to note that the HAZUS maps and reports on flooding, that loss estimations are for
specific riverine scenarios. FEMA flood maps are not used in HAZUS analysis, in that it does not
use historical flood data as an input. However, physical data (i.e., USGS DEM, or Depth Grids)
are used to define the terrain in the study area. Once a scenario is chosen (100-year, 500-year)
the model estimates the physical, economic, and social impacts of that one event, a snapshot in
time.
HAZUS analysis does not supersede the comprehensive investigation of FEMA Flood Maps, the
results will never match exactly the flooding areas found on FEMA flood maps. However, if you
compare the two, you'll be able to verify areas of potential flood risk, and the result from the model
will aid to identify the possible damages and the financial cost from that event.
HAZUS Outputs
The user plays a major role in selecting the scope and nature of the output of a HAZUS analysis.
A variety of maps can be generated for visualizing the extent of the losses. Numerical results
may be examined at the level of the census block or tract or may be aggregated by county or
region. There are three main categories of HAZUS outputs: direct physical damage, induced
damage, and direct losses. Direct physical damage includes general building stock (GBS),
essential facilities, high potential loss facilities, transportation systems, utility systems, and user
defined facilities. Induced damage includes building debris, tree debris generation and fire
following disaster occurrence. Direct losses include losses for buildings, contents, inventory,
income, crop damage, vehicle loss, injuries, casualties, sheltering needs and displaced
households.

A Vulnerability Assessment in its simplest form is a simultaneous look at the geographical location
of hazards and an inventory of the underlying land uses (populations, structures, etc.). Facilities

Critical Facilities
FEMA separates critical buildings and facilities into the five categories shown below based on
their loss potential. All of the following elements are considered critical facilities:
Essential Facilities are essential to the health and welfare of the whole population and are
especially important following hazard events. Essential facilities include hospitals and
other medical facilities, police and fire stations, emergency operations centers and
evacuation shelters, and schools.
Transportation Systems include airways – airports, heliports; highways – bridges, tunnels,
roadbeds, overpasses, transfer centers; railways – trackage, tunnels, bridges, rail yards,
depots; and waterways – canals, locks, seaports, ferries, harbors, drydocks, piers.
Lifeline Utility Systems such as potable water, wastewater, oil, natural gas, electric power
and communication systems.
High Potential Loss Facilities are facilities that would have a high loss associated with
them, such as nuclear power plants, dams, and military installations.

Earthquake Hazards
Hazard Definition
An earthquake is a sudden motion or trembling
that is caused by a release of strain accumulated
within or along the edge of the Earth's tectonic
plates. The effects of an earthquake can be felt
far beyond the site of its occurrence. They usually
occur without warning and, after just a few
seconds, can cause massive damage and
extensive casualties. Common effects of
earthquakes are ground motion and shaking,
surface fault ruptures, and ground failure.
There are two tools used to describe earthquake
intensity. The first is the Magnitude Scale, which
is sometimes referred to as the Richter Scale. The
two are similar but not exactly the same. The
Magnitude Scale was devised as a means of rating earthquake strength and is an indirect
measure of seismic energy released. The Scale is logarithmic with each one-point increase
corresponding to a 10-fold increase in the amplitude of the seismic shock waves generated by
the earthquake. In terms of actual energy released, however, each one-point increase on the
Richter scale corresponds to about a 32-fold increase in energy released. Therefore, a Magnitude
7 (M7) earthquake is 100 times (10 X 10) more powerful than a M5 earthquake and releases
1,024 times (32 X 32) the energy.

(Source: USGS)
The second scale is the Modified Mercalli (MM) Intensity Scale. According to the US Geological
Survey, this scale consists of a series of certain key responses such as people awakening,
movement of furniture, damage to chimneys, and finally - total destruction. Although numerous
intensity scales have been developed over the last several hundred years to evaluate the effects
of earthquakes, the one currently used in the United States is the Modified Mercalli (MM) Intensity
Scale. It was developed in 1931 by the American seismologists Harry Wood and Frank Neumann.
This scale, composed of increasing levels of intensity that range from imperceptible shaking to
catastrophic destruction, is designated by Roman numerals. It does not have a mathematical
basis; instead it is an arbitrary ranking based on observed effects.
The Modified Mercalli Intensity value assigned to a specific site after an earthquake has a more
meaningful measure of severity to the nonscientist than the magnitude because intensity refers
to the effects actually experienced at that place. The lower numbers of the intensity scale
generally deal with the manner in which the earthquake is felt by people. The higher numbers of
the scale are based on observed structural damage. Structural engineers usually contribute
information for assigning intensity values of VIII or above. Below is an image of the scale.

Previous Occurrences of Earthquakes in the City
The most significant earthquake to impact the City was the 1933
Long Beach earthquake. On March 10, 1933, the Newport-
Inglewood Fault ruptured with a magnitude 6.4 earthquake.
Santa Ana suffered substantial structural damage from the event,
especially on 4th street (as seen in adjoining photo). Santa Ana
suffered 3 of the 4 deaths occurring in Orange County during this
earthquake. All 3 of the deaths all occurred in downtown Santa
Ana. The original Santa Ana City Hall and the original Santa Ana
High School, the first high school opened in Orange County, were
both destroyed by this earthquake.
The City has experienced multiple earthquakes since then, but
none have had the same devastation.

On March 29, 2014, at 9:09pm, an earthquake hit one mile away from La Habra. It was
followed by 30 aftershocks. The quake resulted in roughly 2,000 people without power,
but the community suffered minimal damage.
July 29, 2008 Chino Hills,
M5.4
On Tuesday, July 29, 2008, at 11:42 a.m. Pacific Daylight Time, a magnitude 5.4
earthquake rumbled the East Los Angeles area of California. The epicenter of the quake
was about 9 miles beneath the Chino Hills. According to reports from the U.S. Geological
Survey (USGS), the quake and several aftershocks caused strong shaking from the Chino
Basin in the north to the Los Angeles basin in the southwest. Some shaking was felt as
far away as Las Vegas, Nevada, and Yuma, Arizona.
March 11, 1933 Long Beach,
M6.4
In the early evening hours on March 10, 1933, the treacherous Newport-Inglewood fault
ruptured, jolting the local citizenry just as the evening meals were being prepared. The
Magnitude 6.4 earthquake caused extensive damage (approximately $50 million in 1933
dollars) throughout the City of Long Beach and surrounding communities. Damage was
most significant to poorly designed and unreinforced brick structures. Sadly, the
earthquake caused 120 fatalities. Within a few seconds, 120 schools in and around the
Long Beach area were damaged, of which 70 were destroyed. Experts concluded that if
children and their teachers were in school at the time of the earthquake, casualties would
have been in the thousands.

A: See Local Conditions below.
Local Conditions
According to the Orange County General Plan, Safety Element (2013), potentially hazardous,
active fault zones run along the coastal and inland edges of the County. The best known of the
faults is the Newport-Inglewood Fault, which angles from offshore near Dana Point, inland
through what is now the City of Newport Beach, on into Los Angeles County through the cities of
Long Beach and Torrance. This fault zone produced the catastrophic 1933 Long Beach
earthquake with a Richter scale magnitude of 6.3. It is believed this fault is capable of generating
a maximum 7.5 magnitude earthquake.
Due to the proximity of active and potentially active faults in and around Orange County and its
degree of urbanization, the risk of structural damage and loss of life due to ground shaking is
considerable. The risk of secondary hazards is also great. According to various geologic experts,
much of Orange County is highly susceptible to slope failure (activated by ground shaking),
lurching and displacement. Another secondary hazard of particular concern to some portions of
Orange County is that of liquefaction.

San Andreas Fault Zone
The San Andreas Fault Zone falls East of the City. This fault zone extends from the Gulf of
California northward to the Cape Mendocino area where it continues northward along the ocean
floor. The total length of the San Andreas Fault Zone is approximately 750 miles. The activity of
the fault has been recorded during historic events, including the 1906 (M8.0) event in San
Francisco and the 1857 (M7.9) event between Cholame and San Bernardino, where at least 250
miles of surface rupture occurred. These seismic events are among the most significant
earthquakes in California history. Geologic evidence suggests that the San Andreas Fault has a
50 percent chance of producing a magnitude 7.5 to 8.5 quake (comparable to the great San
Francisco earthquake of 1906) within the next 30 years.

Newport-Inglewood Fault
This fault zone consists of a right-lateral, local reverse slip associated with fault steps. It is 75
kilometers in length with a slip rate of .6 millimeters per year. The communities nearest to this
fault are Culver City, Inglewood, Gardena, Compton, Signal Hill, Long Beach, Seal Beach,
Huntington Beach, Newport Beach, and Costa Mesa. Its most recent surface rupture was in 1933
with a magnitude of 6.4. This fault has a probable magnitude of 6.0-7.4. According to the
Earthquake Data Center, Surface trace is discontinuous in the Los Angeles Basin, but the fault
zone can easily be noted there by the existence of a chain of low hills extending from Culver City
to Signal Hill. South of Signal Hill, it roughly parallels the coastline until just south of Newport
Bay, where it heads offshore, and becomes the Newport-Inglewood - Rose Canyon fault zone.

Elsinore Fault Zone
The Elsinore fault zone lies approximately 18 miles East of the City. According to USGS, it’s
projected to have a magnitude of 7.0 with a depth of 11.6 km. The Elsinore fault zone is a major
dextral shear system, parallel to the southern San Andreas fault, that accommodates about 5
mm/year of the Pacific-North American Plate boundary slip. The northern elements of the fault
zone, the Chino and Whittier faults, bound the Puente Hills, an uplifted block of Tertiary sediments.
The Glen Ivy section forms the northeast boundary of the Santa Ana Mountains, and, together
with the Temecula section, forms the Elsinore trough. To the southeast the fault zone (Temecula,
Julian, and Coyote Mountain sections) cuts diagonally across various Peninsular Range
batholithic and pre-batholithic metamorphic terrain until it reaches the southwestern margin of the
Salton Trough as the Laguna Salada fault. Total strike-slip is reported to be as much as 40 km
but is more likely only 10–15 km, and total vertical separation is about 200 m.

Earthquake Related Hazards
Ground shaking, landslides, and liquefaction are the specific hazards associated with
earthquakes. The severity of these hazards depends on several factors, including soil and slope
conditions, proximity to the fault, earthquake magnitude, and the type of earthquake.
Ground Shaking
Ground shaking is the motion felt on the earth's surface caused by seismic waves generated by
the earthquake. It is the primary cause of earthquake damage. The strength of ground shaking
depends on the magnitude of the earthquake, the type of fault, and distance from the epicenter
(where the earthquake originates). Buildings on poorly consolidated and thick soils will typically
see more damage than buildings on consolidated soils and bedrock.
Earthquake-Induced Landslides
Earthquake-induced landslides are secondary earthquake hazards that occur from ground
shaking. They can destroy the roads, buildings, utilities, and other critical facilities necessary to
respond and recover from an earthquake. Many communities in Southern California have a high
likelihood of encountering such risks, especially in areas with steep slopes.
Rock falls may happen suddenly and without warning but are more likely to occur in response to
earthquake induced ground shaking, during periods of intense rainfall, or as a result of human
activities, such as grading and blasting. Ground acceleration of at least 0.10g in steep terrain is
necessary to induce earthquake-related rock falls.
The following map shows the minimal risk of earthquake-induced landslide risk within the City.

Liquefaction
Liquefaction is a phenomenon in which the strength and stiffness of a soil is reduced by
earthquake shaking or other events. Liquefaction occurs in saturated soils, which are soils in
which the space between individual soil particles is completely filled with water. This water exerts
a pressure on the soil particles that influences how tightly the particles themselves are pressed
together. Prior to an earthquake, the water pressure is relatively low. However, earthquake
shaking can cause the water pressure to increase to the point where the soil particles can readily
move with respect to each other. Because liquefaction only occurs in saturated soil, its effects
are most commonly observed in low lying areas. Typically, liquefaction is associated with shallow
groundwater, which is less than 50 feet beneath the earth’s surface. Map: Liquefaction Zones
shows the City’s significant susceptibility to liquefaction.

Structures and Building Code
The built environment is susceptible to damage from earthquakes. Buildings that collapse can
trap and bury people. Lives are at risk, and the cost to clean up the damages is great. In most
California communities, including the City of Santa Ana, many buildings were built before 1973
when building codes were not as strict. In addition, retrofitting is not required except under certain
conditions and can be expensive. Therefore, the number of buildings at risk remains high.
Perhaps at greatest risk are the unreinforced masonry buildings. The California Seismic Safety
Commission makes annual reports on the progress of the retrofitting of unreinforced masonry
buildings. According to the State of California’s 2006 URM Report, all URM buildings within the
City have been identified and upgraded to meet local municipal requirements.
Implementation of earthquake mitigation policy most often takes place at the local government
level. The City of Santa Ana Planning and Building Department enforces building codes
pertaining to earthquake hazards.
Additionally, the City has implemented basic building requirements that are above and beyond
what the State demands for hazard mitigation. Newly constructed buildings in Santa Ana that are
built in an area subject to earthquake-induced landslide or liquefaction are typically built with extra
foundation support. Such support is found in the post-tension reinforced concrete foundation; this
same technique is used by coastal cities to prevent home destruction during cases of liquefaction.
Generally, these codes seek to discourage development in areas that could be prone to flooding,
landslide, wildfire and/or seismic hazards; and where development is permitted, that the
applicable construction standards are met. Developers in hazard-prone areas may be required
to retain a qualified professional engineer to evaluate level of risk on the site and recommend
appropriate mitigation measures.

Q&A | ELEMENT B: HAZARD IDENTIFICATION AND RISK ASSESSMENT | B3a.
Q: Is there a description of each hazard’s impacts on each jurisdiction (what happens to structures,
infrastructure, people, environment, etc.)? (Requirement §201.6(c)(2)(ii))
A: See Impact of Earthquakes in the City below.
Vulnerability of City to Earthquakes
According to the 2021 County of Orange and Orange County Fire Authority Local Hazard
Mitigation Plan, following major earthquakes, extensive search and rescue operations may be
required to assist trapped or injured persons. Emergency medical care, food and temporary
shelter would be required for injured or displaced persons. In the event of a truly catastrophic
earthquake, identification and burial of the fatalities would pose difficult problems. Mass
evacuation may be essential to save lives, particularly in areas below dams. Many families
could be separated if the earthquake should occur during working hours. Emergency
operations could be seriously hampered by the loss of communications and damage to
transportation routes within, to and out of the disaster area and by the disruption of public
utilities and services. Unless properly secured, hazardous materials can be released, causing
significant damage to the environment and people. Extensive federal assistance could be
required and could continue for an extended period.
A significant earthquake (5.0 or greater) in the Orange County area or the region can strike
without warning, and may create cascading effects including:
• Earthquakes can cause large and sometimes disastrous landslides and mudslides. Any steep
slope is vulnerable to slope failure, often as a result of loss of cohesion in clay-rich soils.
• Earthquakes can also cause dam failures. The most common mode of earthquake-induced
dam failure is slumping or settlement of earth-fill dams where the fill has not been property
compacted. If the slumping occurs when the dam is full, then overtopping of the dam, with rapid
erosion leading to dam failure is possible. Dam failure is also possible if strong ground motions
heavily damage concrete dams. Earthquake-induced landslides into reservoirs have also
caused dam failures.
• Another secondary effect of earthquakes that is often observed in low-lying areas near water
bodies is ground liquefaction. Liquefaction is the conversion of water-saturated soil into a fluid-
like mass. This can occur when loosely packed, waterlogged sediments lose their strength in
response to strong shaking. Liquefaction effects may occur along the shorelines of the ocean,
rivers, and lakes and they can also happen in low-lying areas away from water bodies in
locations where the ground water is near the earth’s surface.
• Tsunamis can be formed as a result of undersea earthquakes of the Orange County coastline
when huge amounts of energy are released as a result of quick, upward bottom movement. A
wave is formed when huge volumes of ocean water are pushed upward. A large earthquake
can lift large portions of the seafloor, which will cause the formation of huge waves.
Impact of Earthquakes in the City
Based on the risk assessment, it is evident that earthquakes will continue to have potentially
devastating economic impacts to the City. Impacts that are not quantified, but can be anticipated
in future events, include:
✓ Injury and loss of life
✓ Commercial and residential structural damage

Flood Hazards
Hazard Definition
A floodplain is a land area adjacent to a river, stream, lake, estuary, or other water body that is
subject to flooding. This area, if left undisturbed, acts to store excess flood water. The floodplain
is made up of two sections: the floodway and the flood fringe. The 100-year flooding event is the
flood having a one percent chance of being equaled or exceeded in magnitude in any given year.
Contrary to popular belief, it is not a flood occurring once every 100 years. The 100-year
floodplain is the area adjoining a river, stream, or watercourse covered by water in the event of a
100-year flood. Schematic: Floodplain and Floodway shows the relationship of the floodplain and
the floodway.
Figure: Floodplain and Floodway
(Source: FEMA How-To-Guide Assessing Hazards)
Types of Flooding
Two types of flooding primarily affect the region: slow-rise or flash flooding. Slow-rise floods may
be preceded by a warning period of hours or days. Evacuation and sandbagging for slow-rise
floods have often effectively lessened flood related damage. Conversely, flash floods are most
difficult to prepare for, due to extremely limited, if any, advance warning and preparation time.

A: See Previous Occurrences of Flooding in the City below.
Previous Occurrences of Flooding in the City
According to the NOAA Storm Events Database, the most recent flooding event to occur within
the City was on December 6, 2018. A moisture plume with a weak atmospheric river arrived on
December 5th and brought rain to the region. On December 6th, a strong closed upper level low
pressure brought an unstable air mass into Southern California with showers and thunderstorms,
especially Orange and San Diego Counties. Rainfall of 1
inch per hour amounts occurred in Costa Mesa as well as
adjacent cities. The main storm system on December 6th
brought widespread rain to the entire region. All
mountains and the coast and valleys areas received 1-3
inches and some spots receiving over 4 of rainfall over
higher terrain. The most significant mud and debris flows
occurred at recent Holy burn scar areas, and many reports
of flash flooding across the region. Snow fell as low as
4000 feet with mountains receiving 1 to 4 inches of snow.
John Wayne Airport reported 2.56 inches of rainfall in
about 2 hours on December 6th. This is a 1 in 100 year
return interval. Cars in nearby Costa Mesa were seen
completely submerged or stalled in deep water up to the
windows.

According to the Santa Ana River Vision Plan (2006), the Santa Ana River experienced flooding
most recently in 1969, when flooding along the watershed caused damage to nearby tributaries.
After this incident, the Santa Ana River was considered the greatest flood threat west of the
Mississippi, which prompted the installation of the concrete lining in the river channel.

Local Conditions
According to the Orange County General Plan (2013), Orange County’s geography and climate
increase its susceptibility to flooding. Commonly, where a broad alluvial plain exists, such as the
one created by the Santa Ana River, there has been and is a continual expansion of urban
development.

According to the Vulnerability Assessment Report (2020), flooding can cause significant harm to
buildings, people, and infrastructure. Floodwater can be deep enough to drown people and may
move fast enough to carry people or heavy objects (such as cars) away. Flooding can be caused
by heavy rainfall or long periods of moderate rainfall, or clogged drains during periods of rainfall.
In rare instances, a break in a dam, water pipe, or water tank can also cause flooding.
Additionally, heavy periods of rainfall can stress levee systems, and overtopping can lead to
catastrophic flooding. Storm drainage systems throughout the city collect stormwater runoff and
convey water to prevent flooding, although these systems are typically designed based on winter
storms recorded in the past and may not be designed to accommodate more intense storms. The
levee system along the Santa Ana River is designed for a 190-year flood and may also not be
able to accommodate a more intense storm or heavy rainfall over a short period of time. Scientists
project that climate change will increase the frequency and intensity of floods within Santa Ana,
although total annual precipitation levels are not expected to change very much.
The northern, southern, and western portions of Santa Ana are within the 100-year or 500-year
flood zone, or an area with reduced flood risk due to a levee. The portion of Santa Ana east of
Broadway is outside of the flood zone. Due to a projected increase in frequency and intensity of
rainstorms, flooding could occur more frequently, leaving major roadways and highways, bridges,
and railroads highly vulnerable to damage. While parks and open space can absorb stormwater,
park facilities such as restrooms and pedestrian paths can be damaged by floodwaters, rendering
the parks unusable. Other buildings east of Main Street are also vulnerable to flooding, including
commercial buildings in Downtown Santa Ana, industrial buildings in western Santa Ana near the
Santa Ana River, and over half of school buildings, including the Santa Ana Community College.
Many of the community services are also highly vulnerable to flooding, such as wastewater
services that can back up due to an increase in wet weather flow and roadways that can become
impassable from flood waters, disrupting public transit services, emergency medical response,
and public safety response. Disruption of these services could be detrimental to both residents
and businesses. Community services, such as emergency medical response, are highly
vulnerable to human health hazards, such as vector-borne diseases, that can overwhelm and
create shortages of facilities, equipment, pharmaceuticals, and personnel if health care workers
become sick or if supply chains are disrupted.
Santa Ana River and Santiago Creek
According to the Public Safety Element of Santa Ana’s General Plan (2010), the City has two
major drainage courses with potential for significant flooding: Santiago Creek and the Santa Ana
River. The Santa Ana River, with its normally dry riverbed and broad engineered channel and
armored levees, does not appear to present a significant flood hazard. However, the Santa Ana
River has a long history of overflowing its banks and flooding in the surrounding areas. Another
reference document concerning flooding is the Santa Ana Storm Drain Master Drain (2018) which
is referenced in the Mitigation Actions Matrix.
To reduce this risk, the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (Corps) is constructing the $2.2 billion
Santa Ana River Mainstem Project which includes raising the height of Prado Dam and
constructing new gate-works allowing for controlled water releases up to 30,000 cubic feet per
second and constructing channel improvements between Prado Dam and the ocean. Given the
progress to date, the Corps’ project provides 100-year flood protection for Orange County. When
completed, the project is designed to provide 190-year level protection from flooding due to the
Santa Ana River. Located in Riverside County at the head of Santa Ana Canyon, Prado Dam is
a single purpose dam designed to reduce the flood risk for metropolitan area in Orange County.

Q&A | ELEMENT C. MITIGATION STRATEGY | C2
Q: Does the Plan address each jurisdiction’s participation in the NFIP and continued compliance with NFIP
requirements, as appropriate? (Requirement §201.6(c)(3)(ii))
A: See NFIP Participation below.
National Flood Insurance Program
The City participates in the National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP). Created by Congress in
1968, the NFIP makes flood insurance available in communities that enact minimum floodplain
management rules consistent with the Code of Federal Regulations §60.3. According to FEMA,
the City is located within flood Zones X, A, AE, AH, and AO.
Definitions of FEMA Flood Zone Designations
Flood zones are geographic areas that the FEMA has defined according to varying levels of flood
risk. These zones are depicted on a community's Flood Insurance Rate Map (FIRM) or Flood
Hazard Boundary Maps as shown in Map: Flood Hazard Severity Zone Map Determined by FEMA
above. Each zone reflects the severity or type of flooding in the area.
Moderate to Low Risk Areas
In communities that participate in the NFIP, flood insurance is available to all property owners and
renters in these zones:
ZONE DESCRIPTION
B and X (shaded)
Area of moderate flood hazard, usually the area between the limits of the 100-year and 500-year floods.
B Zones are also used to designate base floodplains of lesser hazards, such as areas protected by
levees from 100-year flood, or shallow flooding areas with average depths of less than one foot or
drainage areas less than 1 square mile.
C and X
(unshaded)
Area of minimal flood hazard usually depicted on FIRMs as above the 500-year flood level. Zone C may
have ponding and local drainage problems that don't warrant a detailed study or designation as base
floodplain. Zone X is the area determined to be outside the 500-year flood and protected by levee from
100-year flood.
High Risk Areas
In communities that participate in the NFIP, mandatory flood insurance purchase requirements
apply to all of these zones:
ZONE DESCRIPTION
A
Areas with a 1% annual chance of flooding and a 26% chance of flooding over the life of a 30-year
mortgage. Because detailed analyses are not performed for such areas; no depths or base flood
elevations are shown within these zones.
AE The base floodplain where base flood elevations are provided. AE Zones are now used on new format
FIRMs instead of A1-A30 Zones.
A1-30 These are known as numbered A Zones (e.g., A7 or A14). This is the base floodplain where the FIRM
shows a BFE (old format).
City Council 26 – 85 1/17/2023

Flood Hazards
- 80 -
ZONE DESCRIPTION
AH
Areas with a 1% annual chance of shallow flooding, usually in the form of a pond, with an average depth
ranging from 1 to 3 feet. These areas have a 26% chance of flooding over the life of a 30 -year mortgage.
Base flood elevations derived from detailed analyses are shown at selected intervals within these zones.
AO
River or stream flood hazard areas, and areas with a 1% or greater chance of shallow flooding each year,
usually in the form of sheet flow, with an average depth ranging from 1 to 3 feet. These areas have a 26%
chance of flooding over the life of a 30-year mortgage. Average flood depths derived from detailed
analyses are shown within these zones.
AR
Areas with a temporarily increased flood risk due to the building or restoration of a flood control system
(such as a levee or a dam). Mandatory flood insurance purchase requirements will apply, but rates will not
exceed the rates for unnumbered A zones if the structure is built or restored in compliance with Zone AR
floodplain management regulations.
A99
Areas with a 1% annual chance of flooding that will be protected by a Federal flood control system where
construction has reached specified legal requirements. No depths or base flood elevations are shown
within these zones.
Undetermined Risk Areas
ZONE DESCRIPTION
D Areas with possible but undetermined flood hazards. No flood hazard analysis has been conducted. Flood
insurance rates are commensurate with the uncertainty of the flood risk.
Dam Failure
Failed dams can create floods that are catastrophic to life and property as a result of the
tremendous energy of the released water. A catastrophic dam failure could easily overwhelm
local response capabilities and require mass evacuations to save lives. Dams typically are
constructed of earth, rock, concrete, or mining tailings. Two factors that influence the potential
severity of a full or partial dam failure are the amount of water impounded and the density, type,
and value of development and infrastructure located downstream.
Prado Dam and Reservoir, completed by the Corps of Engineers in 1941, are intended to provide
flood protection to the Lower Santa Ana River basin. The earthen dam and its reservoir were
designed in the 1930s to control floods of magnitudes that could be reasonably expected to occur
under anticipated future development of the watershed (typically a 200-year flood). Since Prado
Dam was built, however, changes have occurred in the drainage area. Historical data on rainfall
and runoff, coupled with advances in predicting future flood potential, have shown Prado Dam to
presently offer only 70-year flood protection. In addition, intensive urbanization within the
drainage area has occurred, further complicating this problem. Another serious concern is that
the existing Prado Dam and spillway could not accommodate a probable maximum flood, resulting
in overtopping of the dam.

Q: Is there a description of each hazard’s impacts on each jurisdiction (what happens to structures,
infrastructure, people, environment, etc.)? (Requirement §201.6(c)(2)(ii))
A: See Impact of Flooding in the City below.
Vulnerability of City to Flooding
According to the 2021 County of Orange and Orange County Fire Authority, the largest impact to
communities in a flood event is the loss of life and property to both private and public entities.
Development in the floodplains of Orange County increases the risk of extensive property
loss resulting in flooding and flood damage. The type of property damage resulting from flood
events is dependent upon the depth and velocity of the floodwaters. Fast moving floodwaters can
wash buildings off their foundations and sweep cars downstream. High waters combined with
flood debris can damage infrastructure, pipelines, and bridges.
Landslide damage related to soil saturation can cause extensive damage. Water saturation of
materials susceptible to loss (i.e., wood, insulation, wallboard, fabric, furnishings, floor coverings,
and appliances), in many cases, renders a home unlivable. Flooding impacts businesses when
damaged property interrupts operation, forcing closure for repairs, and customer access is cut
off. A community maintains economic vitality in the face of flood damage with quick response to
the needs of businesses affected by the flood. Response to business damages can include
funding to assist owners in elevating or relocating flood-prone business structures.
Impact of Flooding in the City
Floods and their impacts vary by location and severity of any given flood event, and likely only
affect certain areas of the region during specific times. Based on the risk assessment, it is evident
that floods will continue to have potentially devastating economic impacts to the City. Impacts
that are not quantified, but anticipated in future events include:
✓ Injury and loss of life
✓ Commercial and residential structural damage
✓ Disruption of and damage to public infrastructure
✓ Secondary health hazards e.g. mold and mildew
✓ Damage to roads/bridges resulting in loss of mobility
✓ Significant economic impact (jobs, sales, tax revenue) upon the community
✓ Negative impact on commercial and residential property values
✓ Significant disruption to citizens as temporary facilities and relocations would likely be
needed

Climate Change Hazards
Hazard Definition
“Climate change” refers to seasonal changes over a long period of time. It is generally perceived
in the emergency management profession that climate change will have a measurable impact on
the occurrence and severity of natural hazards around the world. Changes could include:
• Sea ice and snow cover losses will continue, and declining snowpack will affect snow-
dependent water supplies and stream flow levels around the world.
• Sea level is projected to rise 7 to 23 inches during the 21st century due to melting snow
and ice on land and thermal expansion of ocean waters.
• The risk of drought and the frequency, intensity, and duration of heat waves are
expected to increase.
• More extreme precipitation is likely, increasing the risk of flooding; if the world’s average
temperature warms only an additional 2.7ºF to 4.5ºF above pre-industrial levels, an
estimated 20 to 30 percent of known plant and animal species would be at increasingly
high risk of extinction.
Climate change will affect communities in a variety of ways. Impacts could include an increased
risk for extreme events such as drought, storms, flooding, forest fires; more heat-related stress;
the spread of existing or new vector-born disease into a community; and increased erosion and
inundation of low-lying areas along coastlines.
According to the State of California Multi-Hazard Mitigation Plan (2018), climate change is already
affecting California. Sea levels have risen by as much as seven inches along the California coast
over the last century, increasing erosion and pressure on the state’s infrastructure, water supplies,
and natural resources. The State has also seen increased average temperatures, more extreme
hot days, fewer cold nights, a lengthening of the growing season, shifts in the water cycle with
less winter precipitation falling as snow, and both snowmelt and rainwater running off sooner in
the year. In addition to changes in average temperatures, sea level, and precipitation patterns,
the intensity of extreme weather events is also changing.

The City has expereinced gradual Climate Change, with
warmer temperatures increasing over the past century.
According to California’s Fourth Climate Change
Assessment (2018), observations over the past century
indicate that temperature has increased across southern
California. Based on 1896-2015 temperature records for
the California South Coast NOAA Climate Division,
which encompasses the LA region (which includes
Orange County), researchers found significant trends in
annual average, maximum, and minimum temperature
around 0.16°C per decade. Every month has
experienced significant positive trends in monthly
average, maximum, and minimum temperature. Monthly average and minimum temperatures
have increased the most in September and monthly maximum temperatures have increased the
most in January, with each trend exceeding 0.2°C per decade. Recently, the California South
Coast Climate Division has experienced sustained record warmth. The top 5 warmest years in
terms of annual average temperature have all occurred since 2012: 2014 was the warmest,
followed by 2015, 2017, 2016, and 2012.

Local Conditions (Sub-Hazards): Extreme Heat, Drought
In recognition of the priorities mentioned above, the Planning Team identified drought and
extreme heat as “sub-hazards” of climate change. As such, hazard profiles have been prepared
for each and hazard mitigation action items included in the Mitigation Strategy.
Extreme Heat
According to the Vulnerability Assessment Report of the General Plan (2020), extreme heat
occurs when temperatures rise significantly above normal levels. In Santa Ana, an extreme heat
day occurs when temperatures reach above 96.3 degrees Fahrenheit. As shown in the Figure
below, the projected number of extreme heat days in Santa Ana is projected to increase to an

(Source: Vulnerability Assessment Report for the General Plan Update, 2020)
Extreme heat can also occur in the form of warmer nights, as temperatures do not cool down
overnight and provide relief from the heat. In Santa Ana, a warm night occurs when the
temperature remains above 68.3 degrees Fahrenheit. As shown in the Figure below, the
projected number of warm nights in Santa Ana is projected to increase to an average of 39 warm
nights per year by mid-century and an average of 87 warm nights per year by the end of the
century.

According to CDC’s Extreme heat causes more deaths than any other weather-related hazard—
more than hurricanes, tornadoes, or flooding. In addition, thousands of people who are exposed
to extreme heat seek medical treatment each year. In fact, each - summer more than 65,000
Americans on average visit an emergency room for acute heat illness.

Drought
Previous Occurrences
According to the City’s Public Works Department website, throughout California's history there
have been periods of low rainfall and even drought. However, the 2015 drought was referred to
at the time as the worst in our state's history. The severity of the five-year drought put us in a
state of emergency and Governor Brown asked for a voluntary 20% reduction in water use
statewide. That same year, the City of Santa Ana adopted a strategic plan, which—among other
important initiatives— focused on completing the City's Climate Action Plan with measures to
address water conservation, energy efficient buildings (city and community) and greenhouse gas
emissions. Creating awareness for and educating the community about water conservation is an
important component of the plan.
Drought conditions looked even more dire in 2015. The close of our official rainy season, which
provides California with 90% of its water, was marked with record high temperatures and record
low rainfall. Reservoirs were low. Landscapes were parched. And the Sierra Nevada snowpack,
which usually supplies 30% of the state's water as it melts through early summer, was at its
second-lowest level on record. It was no surprise, then, that Governor Brown issued an Executive
Order on April 1, 2015 that called for the first-ever statewide mandatory water reduction to slash
water use by 25% (compared to 2013 levels) and increase enforcement to prevent wasteful water
use. As a result, the State Water Resources Control Board (SWRCB) adopted an expanded
emergency regulation and has imposed a new round of water conservation rules, including sharp
restrictions on landscape watering as well as orders to restaurants not to serve water to customers
unless asked.
Since Santa Ana had already reduced its water consumption by 13% since 2013, the City called
for a mandatory 12% reduction in water use and issued emergency conservation requirements
for all water users to comply with state regulations and local ordinances. On March 28, 2022,
Governor Newsom urged water agencies to "take more aggressive actions" and increase
City Council 26 – 93 1/17/2023
Hazard Mitigation Plan | 2022
Climate Change Hazards
- 88 -
enforcement to prevent wasteful water use. In response, the State Water Resources Control
Board (SWRCB) adopted regulation requiring water suppliers to implement conservation actions
under Level 2 of their Water Conservation Contingency Plans by June 10, 2022. Currently, there
is no water supply emergency for Santa Ana, however the City Council supports the actions
necessary to comply with the State’s requirements. As such, Santa Ana residents and businesses
were asked to reduce water usage by following water conservation practices inside and outside
the home, and for businesses to improve their water use processes. Santa Ana’s reduction
actions for a Level 2 Water Supply Conservation, recently implemented by City Council resolution,
limits outdoor watering to two days a week and only between the hours of 6 p.m. and 6 a.m. It
also reduces the time to repair leaks to within 48 hours of notification by the City. These new
requirements were effective on June 7, 2022.
Local Conditions
It’s impossible to separate drought from water supply shortages. Drought is defined as a
deficiency of precipitation over an extended period of time, usually a season or more. This
deficiency results in a water shortage for some activity, group, or environmental sector. Drought
should be considered relative to some long-term average condition of balance between
precipitation and evapotranspiration (i.e., evaporation + transpiration) in a particular area, a
condition often perceived as "normal". It is also related to the timing (e.g., principal season of
occurrence, delays in the start of the rainy season, occurrence of rains in relation to principal crop
growth stages) and the effectiveness of the rains (e.g., rainfall intensity, number of rainfall events).
Other climatic factors such as high temperature, high wind, and low relative humidity are often
associated with it in many regions of the world and can significantly aggravate its severity.
Drought should not be viewed as merely a physical phenomenon or natural event. Its impacts on
society result from the interplay between a natural event (less precipitation than expected
resulting from natural climatic variability) and the demand people place on water supply. Human
beings often exacerbate the impact of drought. Recent droughts in both developing and
developed countries and the resulting economic and environmental impacts and personal
hardships have underscored the vulnerability of all societies to this natural hazard.
One dry year does not normally constitute a drought in California but serves as a reminder of the
need to plan for droughts. California's extensive system of water supply infrastructure — its
reservoirs, groundwater basins, and inter-regional conveyance facilities — mitigates the effect of
short-term dry periods for most water users. Defining when a drought begins is a function of
drought impacts to water users. Hydrologic conditions constituting a drought for water users in
one location may not constitute a drought for water users elsewhere, or for water users having a
different water supply. Individual water suppliers may use criteria such as rainfall/runoff, amount
of water in storage, or expected supply from a water wholesaler to define their water supply
conditions.
Drought is a gradual phenomenon. Although droughts are sometimes characterized as
emergencies, they differ from typical emergency events. Most natural disasters, such as floods
or forest fires, occur relatively rapidly and afford little time for preparing for d isaster response.
Droughts occur slowly, over a multiyear period. There is no universal definition of when a drought
begins or ends. Impacts of drought are typically felt first by those most reliant on annual rainfall -
- ranchers engaged in dry land grazing, rural residents relying on wells in low-yield rock
formations, or small water systems lacking a reliable source. Criteria used to identify statewide
drought conditions do not address these localized impacts. Drought impacts increase with the
City Council 26 – 94 1/17/2023
Hazard Mitigation Plan | 2022
Climate Change Hazards
- 89 -
length of a drought, as carry-over supplies in reservoirs are depleted and water levels in
groundwater basins decline.
There are four different ways that drought can be defined:
o Meteorological - a measure of departure of precipitation from normal. Due to climatic
differences what is considered a drought in one location may not be a drought in another location.
o Agricultural - refers to a situation when the amount of moisture in the soil no longer meets
the needs of a particular crop.
o Hydrological - occurs when surface and subsurface water supplies are below normal.
o Socioeconomic - refers to the situation that occurs when physical water shortage begins
to affect people.
According to the Vulnerability Assessment Report in the 2020 General Plan, a drought’s severity
depends on numerous factors, including duration, intensity, and geographic extent, as well as
regional water supply demands by humans and vegetation. Due to its multi-dimensional nature,
drought is difficult to define in exact terms and poses difficulties in terms of comprehensive risk
assessments.
Drought differs from other natural hazards in three ways. First, the onset and end of a drought
are difficult to determine due to the slow accumulation and lingering of effects of an event after its
apparent end. Second, the lack of an exact and universally accepted definition adds to the
confusion of its existence and severity. Third, in contrast with other natural hazards, the impact
of drought is less obvious and may be spread over a larger geographic area. These
characteristics have hindered the preparation of drought contingency or mitigation plans by many
governments.
Climate scientists predict that in the future southern California will get drier and northern California
will get hotter. The resulting loss of snowpack in the Sierra Nevada will mean less water for all
Californians – farmers, residents, utilities, and even hatchery fish. However, while drought cannot
be controlled, according to the USGS, drought can be managed in two ways: through drought
planning and in helping communities make the best day-to-day management decisions while the
drought is taking place. During the drafting of this plan update, the Governor of California signed
an executive order directing specific State agencies to develop a Water Resilience Portfolio to
“ensure safe and dependable water supplies, flood protection and healthy waterways for the
state’s communities, economy and environment.”
The U.S. Seasonal Drought Outlook below shows the Metro Service Area as well as California as
a whole is no longer in danger from the impacts of drought:

Q: Is there a description of each hazard’s impacts on each jurisdiction (what happens to structures,
infrastructure, people, environment, etc.)? (Requirement §201.6(c)(2)(ii))
A: See Impact of Climate Change in the City below.
Vulnerability of the City to Climate Change
According to the 2021 County of Orange and Orange County Fire Authority, climate change has
the possibility of producing impacts that span many sectors of the economy and reaches well
beyond the areas experiencing physical sea level rise or long-term temperature rise. The
impacts would be complex and can be direct or indirect. A few examples of direct impacts are
productivity from agriculture could decrease; wildfire hazard could increase; drinking water
levels could decrease; wildlife mortality rates and damage to wildlife and fish habitat could
increase. The consequences of these impacts may result in reduced income for businesses,
increased prices for food and resources, unemployment, reduced tax revenues due to reduced
expenditures, increased crime, foreclosures on bank loans to businesses, and migration. The
web of impacts would be complex making it challenging to come up with financial estimates of
damages. The impacts of climate change can be categorized as economic, environmental, or
social.
Social impacts involve public safety, health, reduced quality of life, and inequities in the
distribution of impacts and disaster relief. Many of the impacts specified as economic and
environmental have social components as well. We could see migration out of the coastal
areas where increasing pressure on the social infrastructure could result. Municipalities will
have to make decisions about which critical assets to protect, relocate, or remove and

what is economically feasible. It will be challenging to achieve multiple goals such as protection
of critical infrastructure, sustained coastal recreation, and ecosystem protection. Agencies need
to recognize there could be conflicts and develop priorities while working with the regulatory
agencies.
Impact of Climate Change in the City
Based on the risk assessment, it is evident that climate change will continue to have potentially
devastating economic impacts to the City. Impacts that are not quantified, but can be anticipated
in future events, include:
✓ Injury and loss of life
✓ Commercial and residential structural damage
✓ Disruption of and damage to public infrastructure
✓ Secondary health hazards (e.g., mold and mildew)
✓ Damage to roads/bridges resulting in loss of mobility
✓ Significant economic impact (jobs, sales, tax revenue) upon the community
✓ Negative impact on commercial and residential property values
✓ Significant disruption citizens as temporary facilities and relocations would likely be
needed

Epidemic/Pandemic/Vector-Borne Disease
Hazards
Hazard Definition
According to the California State Hazard Mitigation Plan (2018), the California Department of
Public Health has identified epidemics, pandemics, and vector-borne diseases as specific
hazards that would have a significant impact throughout the State.
According to the Centers for Disease Control (CDC), an epidemic refers to an increase, often
sudden, in the number of cases of a disease above what is normally expected in that population
area. A pandemic refers to an epidemic that has spread over several countries or continents,
usually affecting a large number of people. Vector-borne diseases are human illnesses caused
by parasites, viruses and bacteria that are transmitted by vectors – living organisms that can
transmit infectious pathogens between humans, or from animals to humans.
Seasonal Influenza
Seasonal influenza, also known as the flu, is a disease that attacks the respiratory system (nose,
throat, and lungs) in humans. Seasonal influenza occurs every year. In the U.S., the influenza
season typically occurs from October through May, peaking in January or February with yearly
epidemics of varying severity. Although mild cases may be similar to a viral “cold,” influenza is
typically much more severe. Influenza usually comes on suddenly; may include fever, headache,
tiredness (which may be extreme), dry cough, sore throat, nasal congestion, and body aches; and
can result in complications such as pneumonia. Persons aged 65 and older, those with chronic
health conditions, pregnant women, and young children are at the highest risk for serious
complications, including death.
Pandemic Influenza
A pandemic influenza occurs when a new influenza virus, for which there is little or no human
immunity, emerges and spreads on a worldwide scale, infecting a large proportion of the human
population. The most notable pandemic influenza outbreaks have been the 1918 Spanish Flu
that was responsible for 20 million to 40 million deaths throughout the world. Also, H1N1 in 2009,
popularly referred to as the Swine Flu, resulted in many hospitalizations and deaths. Pandemic
H1N1 influenza was spread in the same way as seasonal influenza, from person to person
through coughing or sneezing by infected people. In April 2009, two kids living more than 100
miles apart in Southern California came down with the flu. By mid-April, their illnesses had been
diagnosed as being caused by a new strain of H1N1 influenza. Persons infected with H1N1
City Council 26 – 98 1/17/2023
Hazard Mitigation Plan | 2022
Epidemic/Pandemic/Vector-Borne Disease Hazards
- 93 -
experienced fever and mild respiratory symptoms, such as coughing, runny nose, and congestion.
In some cases, symptoms were severe and included diarrhea, chills, and vomiting, and in rare
cases respiratory failure occurred. The H1N1 virus caused relatively few deaths in humans. In
the United States, for example, it caused fewer deaths (between 8,870 and 18,300) than seasonal
influenza, which, based on data for the years 2014–2019, causes an average of about 40,000
deaths each year. The H1N1 virus was most lethal in individuals affected by chronic disease or
other underlying health conditions.
As demonstrated historically and currently, pandemic influenza has the potential to cause serious
illness and death among people of all age groups and have a major impact on society. These
societal impacts include significant economic disruption that can occur due to death, loss of
employee work time, and costs of treating or preventing the spread of influenza.
Novel Coronavirus
Beginning in 2019, the U.S. Centers for Disease Control responded to a pandemic of severe
respiratory disease spreading from person to person caused by a novel (new) coronavirus. The
disease was named “Coronavirus Disease 2019” (abbreviated “COVID-19”). Coronaviruses are
a large family of viruses that are common in people and many different species of animals,
including camels, cattle, cats, and bats. Rarely, animal coronaviruses can infect people and then
spread between people such as with Middle East Respiratory Syndrome (MERS) and Severe
Acute Respiratory Syndrome (SARS).
According to the CDC, many of the patients at the epicenter of the outbreak in Wuhan, Hubei
Province, China had some link to a large seafood and live animal market, suggesting animal-to-
person spread. Later, a growing number of patients reportedly did not have exposure to animal
markets, indicating person-to-person spread. Person-to-person spread was subsequently
reported outside Hubei and in countries outside China, including in the United States. Most
international destinations now have ongoing community spread with the virus that causes COVID-
19, as does the United States.
On March 4, 2020, Governor Newsom proclaimed a state of emergency in the California in
response to the COVID-19 outbreak, which was followed by an executive order directing all
residents immediately to heed current State public health directives to stay home, except as
needed to maintain continuity of operations of essential critical infrastructure sectors. As of March
9, 2021, 80% of the state was still considered widespread risk, with many non-essential indoor
business operations closed.

Avian Influenza
According to the CDC, although avian influenza A viruses usually do not infect people, rare cases
of human infection with these viruses have been reported. Infected birds shed avian influenza
virus in their saliva, mucous and feces. Human infections with bird flu viruses can happen when
enough virus gets into a person’s eyes, nose or mouth, or is inhaled. This can happen when virus
is in the air (in droplets or possibly dust) and a person breathes it in, or when a person touches
something that has virus on it then touches their mouth, eyes or nose. Rare human infections
with some avian viruses have occurred most often after unprotected contact with infected birds

Hazard Mitigation Plan | 2022
Epidemic/Pandemic/Vector-Borne Disease Hazards
- 95 -
or surfaces contaminated with avian influenza viruses. However, some infections have been
identified where direct contact was not known to have occurred. Illness in people has ranged from
mild to severe.
The spread of avian influenza A viruses from one ill person to another has been reported very
rarely, and when it has been reported it has been limited, inefficient and not sustained. However,
because of the possibility that avian influenza A viruses could change and gain the ability to
spread easily between people, monitoring for human infection and person-to-person spread is
extremely important for public health.
Vector-Borne Diseases
Vector-borne diseases are human illnesses caused by
parasites, viruses and bacteria that are transmitted by
vectors. Every year there are more than 700,000 deaths
from diseases such as malaria, dengue, schistosomiasis,
human African trypanosomiasis, leishmaniasis, Chagas
disease, yellow fever, Japanese encephalitis and
onchocerciasis. Vectors are living organisms that can
transmit infectious pathogens between humans, or from
animals to humans. Many of these vectors are
bloodsucking insects, which ingest disease-producing
microorganisms during a blood meal from an infected host
(human or animal) and later transmit it into a new host, after the pathogen has replicated. Often,
once a vector becomes infectious, they can transmit the pathogen for the rest of their life during
each subsequent bite/blood meal.
Mosquito-Borne Viruses
Mosquito‐borne viruses belong to a group of viruses commonly referred to as arboviruses (for
arthropod‐borne). Although 12 mosquito‐borne viruses are known to occur in California, only
West Nile virus (WNV), western equine encephalomyelitis virus (WEE), and St. Louis encephalitis
virus (SLE) are significant causes of human disease. WNV continues to seriously affect the health
of humans, horses, and wild birds throughout the state. Since 2003, there have been over 6,000
WNV human cases with 248 deaths, and over 1,200 equine cases.
WNV first appeared in the United States in 1999 in New York and rapidly spread across the
country to California in subsequent years. California has historically maintained a comprehensive
mosquito‐borne disease surveillance and control program including the Mosquito-borne Virus
Surveillance and Response Plan, which is updated annually in consultation with local vector
control agencies.
Climate change will likely affect vector-borne disease transmission patterns. Changes in
temperature and precipitation can influence seasonality, distribution, and prevalence of vector-
borne diseases. A changing climate may also create conditions favorable for the establishment
of invasive mosquito vectors in California.
For most Californians, WNV poses the greatest mosquito-borne disease threat. Above-normal
temperatures are among the most consistent factors associated with WNV outbreaks. Mild
winters are associated with increased WNV transmission due, in part, to less mosquito and
resident bird mortality. Warmer winter and spring seasons may also allow for transmission to

Hazard Mitigation Plan | 2022
Epidemic/Pandemic/Vector-Borne Disease Hazards
- 96 -
start earlier. Such conditions also allow more time for virus amplification in bird-mosquito cycles,
increasing the potential for mosquitoes to transmit WNV to people.
The effects of increased temperature are primarily through acceleration of physiological
processes within mosquitoes, resulting in faster larval development and shorter generation times,
more frequent mosquito biting, and shortening of the incubation period time required for infected
mosquitoes to transmit WNV. During periods of drought, especially in urban areas, mosquitoes
tend to thrive more due to changes in stormwater management practices. Mosquitoes in urban
areas can reach higher abundance due to stagnation of water in underground stormwater systems
that would otherwise be flushed by rainfall. Runoff from landscape irrigation systems mixed with
organic matter can also create ideal mosquito habitat. Drought conditions may also force birds
to increase their utilization of suburban areas where water is more available, bringing these WNV
hosts into contact with urban vectors.

Lyme Disease
Lyme disease is caused by a spirochete (a corkscrew-shaped bacteria) called Borrelia burgdorferi
and is transmitted by the Western black-legged tick. Lyme disease was first described in North
America in the 1970s in Lyme, Connecticut, the town for which it was then named. Though the

tick has been reported from 56 of the 58 counties in California, the highest incidence of disease
occurs in the northwest coastal counties and northern Sierra Nevada counties with western-facing
slopes. Ticks prefer cool, moist areas and can be found in wild grasses and low vegetation in
both urban and rural areas.
The map below shows Western black-legged tick and Lyme disease incidence in California. The
Western black-legged tick is commonly found in all green areas shown on the map; dark green
areas on the map show where reported Lyme disease cases most often had exposure.

Valley Fever
Valley Fever is caused by Coccidioides, a fungus that lives in the soil in the southwestern United
States and parts of Mexico, Central America, and South America. Inhaling the airborne fungal
spores can cause an infection called coccidioidomycosis, which is also known as “cocci” or “Valley
Fever.”
Most people who are exposed to the fungus do not get sick, but some people develop flu‐like
symptoms that may last for weeks to months. In a very small proportion of people who get Valley

Fever, the infection can spread from the lungs to other parts of the body and cause more severe
conditions, such as meningitis or even death. Valley Fever cannot spread from person to person.
Most cases of Valley Fever in the U.S. occur in people who live in or have traveled to the
southwestern United States, especially Arizona and California. The map below shows the areas
where the fungus that causes Valley Fever is thought to be endemic, or native and common in
the environment. The full extent of the current endemic areas is unknown and is a subject for
further study.

According to the 2021 County of Orange and Orange County Fire Authority Local Hazard
Mitigation Plan, major impacts of severe influenza seasons include increase in diversion hours
at local emergency rooms, increase in hospital admissions in persons with underlying health
conditions, and death occurring amongst individuals under the age of 65. Maintaining an active
surveillance allows public health to make timely recommendations to intervene on the
widespread transmission of influenza. An influenza pandemic would place a great strain on
existing health care resources and may exceed available resources. Personnel, supplies,
equipment, and pharmaceutical responses (e.g., vaccination and antivirals) may be in short
supply and/or unavailable. If transportation is compromised in the region or country, food and
other essentials may be unavailable as well. Outbreaks are expected to occur simultaneously
throughout much of the County and the State, which may limit the availability of mutual aid
assistance and resources from other areas.

Based on the risk assessment, it is evident that Epidemic/Pandemic/Vector-Borne Diseases will
continue to have potentially devastating economic impacts to the City. Impacts that are not

Mitigation Strategies
Overview of Mitigation Strategy
As the cost of damage from disasters continues to increase nationwide, the City of Santa Ana
recognizes the importance of identifying effective ways to reduce vulnerability to disasters.
Mitigation Plans assist communities in reducing risk from natural hazards by identifying resources,
information and strategies for risk reduction, while helping to guide and coordinate mitigation
activities at City facilities.
The plan provides a set of action items to reduce risk from hazards through education and
outreach programs, and to foster the development of partnerships. Further, the plan provides for
the implementation of preventative activities.
The resources and information within the Mitigation Plan:
1. Establish a basis for coordination and collaboration among agencies and the public in the
City
2. Identify and prioritize future mitigation projects; and
3. Assist in meeting the requirements of federal assistance programs
The Mitigation Plan is integrated with other plans including the City’s General Plan as well as
department-specific standard operating procedures.
Mitigation Measure Categories
Following is FEMA’s list of mitigation categories. The activities identified by the Planning Team
are consistent with the six broad categories of mitigation actions outlined in FEMA publication
386-3 Developing the Mitigation Plan: Identifying Mitigation Actions and Implementing Strategies.
✓ Prevention: Government administrative or regulatory actions or processes that
influence the way land and buildings are developed and built. These actions also
include public activities to reduce hazard losses. Examples include planning and
zoning, building codes, capital improvement programs, open space preservation, and
storm water management regulations.

Mitigation Strategies
- 102 -
✓ Property Protection: Actions that involve modification of existing buildings or structures
to protect them from a hazard, or removal from the hazard area. Examples include
acquisition, elevation, relocation, structural retrofits, storm shutters, and shatter-
resistant glass.
✓ Public Education and Awareness: Actions to inform and educate citizens, property
owners, and elected officials about hazards and potential ways to mitigate them.
Such actions include outreach projects, real estate disclosure, hazard information
centers, and school-age and adult education programs.
✓ Natural Resource Protection: Actions that, in addition to minimizing hazard losses
preserve or restore the functions of natural systems. Examples include sediment and
erosion control, stream corridor restoration, watershed management, forest and
vegetation management, and wetland restoration and preservation.
✓ Emergency Services: Actions that protect people and property during and immediately
following a disaster or hazard event. Services include warning systems, emergency
response services, and protection of critical facilities.
✓ Structural Projects: Actions that involve the construction of structures to reduce the
impact of a hazard. Such structures include dams, levees, floodwalls, retaining walls,
and safe rooms.
Q&A | ELEMENT C. MITIGATION STRATEGY | C3
Q: Does the plan include goals to reduce/avoid long-term vulnerabilities to the identified hazards?
(Requirement §201.6(c)(3)(i))
A: See Goals below.
Goals
The Planning Team considered the goals identified in the 2005 HMP and decided to keep the
same goals.
Each goal is supported by mitigation action items. The Planning Team developed these action
items through its knowledge of the local area, risk assessment, review of past efforts, identification
of mitigation activities, and qualitative analysis.
The five mitigation goals and descriptions are listed below.
Protect Life and Property
Implement activities that assist in protecting lives by making homes, businesses, infrastructure,
critical facilities, and other property more resistant to losses from natural, human-caused, and

Preserve, rehabilitate, and enhance natural systems to serve hazard mitigation functions.
Promote Partnerships and Implementation
Strengthen communication and coordinate participation with public agencies, non-profit
organizations, business, and industry to support implementation.
Encourage leadership within the City and public organizations to prioritize and implement local
and regional hazard mitigation activities.
Enhance Emergency Services
Establish policy to ensure mitigation projects for critical facilities, services, and infrastructure.
Strengthen emergency operations by increasing collaboration and coordination among public
agencies, non-profit organizations, business, and industry.
Coordinate and integrate hazard mitigation activities where appropriate, with emergency
operations plans and procedures.
How are the Mitigation Action Items Organized?
The action items are a listing of activities in which City agencies and citizens can be engaged to
reduce risk. Each action item includes an estimate of the timeline for implementation.
The action items are organized within the following Mitigation Actions Matrix, which lists all of the
multi-hazard (actions that reduce risks for more than one specific hazard) and hazard-specific
action items included in the mitigation plan. Data collection and research and the public
participation process resulted in the development of these action items. The Matrix includes the
following information for each action item:
Funding Source
The action items can be funded through a variety of sources, possibly including the Annual
Budget, development fees, Capital Improvement Program (CIP), Hazard Mitigation Grant
Program (HMGP), Building Resilient Infrastructure and Communities grant (BRIC), other Grants,
private funding, and other funding opportunities.
Lead Department
The Mitigation Actions Matrix assigns primary responsibility for each of the action items. The
hierarchies of the assignments vary – from positions to departments to committees. The primary
responsibility for implementing the action items falls to the entity shown as the “Lead Department”.
The lead department is the agency with regulatory responsibility to address hazards, or that is
City Council 26 – 109 1/17/2023
Hazard Mitigation Plan | 2022
Mitigation Strategies
- 104 -
willing and able to organize resources, find appropriate funding, or oversee activity
implementation, monitoring, and evaluation. Lead departments may include local, County, or
regional agencies that are capable of or responsible for implementing activities and programs.
Plan Goals Addressed
The plan goals addressed by each action item are included as a way to monitor and evaluate how
well the mitigation plan is achieving its goals once implementation begins.
The plan goals are organized into the following five areas:
✓ Protect Life and Property
✓ Enhance Public Awareness
✓ Preserve Natural Systems
✓ Enhance Emergency Services
✓ Promote Partnerships and Implementation
Planning Mechanism
It’s important that each action item be implemented. Perhaps
the best way to ensure implementation is through integration
with one or many of the City’s existing “planning mechanisms”
including the General Plan, Capital Improvement Program,
General Fund and Grants. Opportunities for integration will be
simple and easy in cases where the action item is already
compatible with the content of the planning mechanism. As an
example, if the action item calls for the creation of a floodplain
ordinance and the same action is already identified in the
General Plan’s policies, then the General Plan will assist in
implementation. On the contrary, if preparation of a floodplain
ordinance is not already included in the General Plan policies,
then the item will need to be added during the next update to
the General Plan. The General Plan was last updated in 2020 and was used as a reference
throughout the Mitigation Plan. The next General Plan update will likely not take place for another
10 years.
The Capital Improvement Program (CIP), depending on the budgetary environment, is updated
every 5 years. The CIP includes infrastructure projects built and owned by the City. As such, the
CIP is an excellent medium for funding and implementing action items from t he Mitigation Plan.
The Mitigation Actions Matrix includes several items from the existing CIP. The authors of the
CIP served on the Planning Team and are already looking for funding opportunities for several of
the Mitigation Plan action items.
The Storm Drain Master Plan (2018) identifies flood-related improvements for the City and is
referenced in several flood-related items on the Mitigation Actions Matrix.
The General Fund is the budget document that guides all of the City’s expenditures and is updated
on an annual basis. Although primarily a funding mechanism, it also includes descriptions and
details associated with tasks and projects.

Grants come from a wide variety of sources – some annually and other triggered by events like
disasters. Whatever the source, the City uses the General Fund to identify successful grants as
funding sources.
Q&A | ELEMENT C. MITIGATION STRATEGY | C4c.
Q: Do the identified mitigation actions and projects have an emphasis on new and existing buildings and
infrastructure? (Requirement §201.6(c)(3)(ii))
A: See Building and Infrastructure below.
Building and Infrastructure
This addresses the issue of whether or not a particular action item results in the reduction of the
effects of hazards on new and existing buildings and infrastructure.
Q&A | ELEMENT C. MITIGATION STRATEGY | C5a.
Q: Does the plan explain how the mitigation actions and projects will be prioritized (including cost benefit
review)? (Requirement §201.6(c)(3)(iv)); (Requirement §201.6(c)(3)(iii))
A: See Benefit/Cost Ratings and Priority Rating below.
Benefit/Cost Ratings
The benefits of proposed projects were weighed against estimated costs as part of the project
prioritization process. The benefit/cost analysis was not of the detailed variety required by FEMA
for project grant eligibility under the Hazard Mitigation Grant Program (HMGP) and Building
Resilient Infrastructure and Communities (BRIC) grant programs. A less formal approach was
used because some projects may not be implemented for up to 10 years, and associated costs
and benefits could change dramatically in that time. Therefore, a review of the apparent benefits
versus the apparent cost of each project was performed. Parameters were established for
assigning subjective ratings (high, medium, and low) to the costs and benefits of these projects.
Cost ratings were defined as follows:
High: Existing jurisdictional funding will not cover the cost of the action item so other
sources of revenue would be required.
Medium: The action item could be funded through existing jurisdictional funding but would
require budget modifications.
Low: The action item could be funded under existing jurisdictional funding.
Benefit ratings were defined as follows:
High: The action item will provide short-term and long-term impacts on the reduction of
risk exposure to life and property.
Medium: The action item will have long-term impacts on the reduction of risk exposure to
life and property.
Low: The action item will have only short-term impacts on the reduction of risk exposure
to life and property.

Q&A | ELEMENT D. MITIGATION STRATEGY | D3
Q: Was the plan revised to reflect changes in priorities? (Requirement §201.6(d)(3))
A: See Priority Rating below.
Priority Rating
The Planning Team utilized the following Priority Rating method. Designations of “High”,
“Medium”, and “Low” priority have been assigned to all of the action items using the following
criteria:
Does the Action:
solve the problem?
address Vulnerability Assessment?
reduce the exposure or vulnerability to the highest priority hazard?
address multiple hazards?
benefits equal or exceed costs?
implement a goal, policy, or project identified in the General Plan or Capital
Improvement Plan?
Can the Action:
be implemented with existing funds?
be implemented by existing state or federal grant programs?
be completed within the 5-year life cycle of the LHMP?
be implemented with currently available technologies?
Will the Action:
be accepted by the community?
be supported by community leaders?
adversely impact segments of the population or neighborhoods?
require a change in local ordinances or zoning laws?
positive or neutral impact on the environment?
comply with all local, state and federal environmental laws and regulations?
Is there:
sufficient staffing to undertake the project?
existing authority to undertake the project?
As mitigation action items were updated or written the Planning Team, representatives
were provided worksheets for each of their assigned action items. Answers to the
criteria above determined the priority according to the following scale.
• 1-6 = Low priority
• 7-12 = Medium priority
• 13-18 = High priority

Monitoring and Implementing the Plan
Plan Adoption
The City Council will be responsible for adopting the Mitigation Plan. This governing body has
the authority to promote sound public policy regarding hazards. Once the plan has been adopted,
the Local Mitigation Officer will be responsible for submitting it to the State Hazard Mitigation
Officer at California Office of Emergency Services (Cal OES). Cal OES will then submit the plan
to the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) for review and approval. This review
will address the requirements set forth in 44 C.F.R. Section 201.6 (Local Mitigation Plans). Upon
acceptance by FEMA, the City will gain eligibility for Hazard Mitigation Grant Program funds.
Local Mitigation Officer
The Planning Team that was involved in research and writing of the Plan will also be responsible
for implementation. The Planning Team will be led by the Planning Team Chair Steve Rhyner
who will be referred to as the Local Mitigation Officer. Under the direction of the Local Mitigation
Officer, the Planning Team will take responsibility for plan maintenance and implementation. The
Local Mitigation Officer will facilitate the Planning Team meetings and will assign tasks such as

updating and presenting the Plan to the members of the Planning Team. Plan implementation
and evaluation will be a shared responsibility among all of the Planning Team members. The
Local Mitigation Officer will coordinate with the City leadership to ensure funding for 5-year
updates to Plan as required by FEMA.
The Planning Team will be responsible for coordinating implementation of plan action items and
undertaking the formal review process. The Local Mitigation Officer will be authorized to make
changes in assignments to the current Planning Team.
The Planning Team will meet no less than annually. Meeting dates will be scheduled once the
final Planning Team has been established. These meetings will provide an opportunity to discuss
the progress of the action items and maintain the partnerships that are essential for the
sustainability of the mitigation plan. The Local Mitigation Officer or designee will be responsible
for contacting the Planning Team members and organizing the annual meeting which will take
place annually during the month of the Plan’s approval.

City Council 26 – 131 1/17/2023
Hazard Mitigation Plan | 2022
Plan Maintenance
- 126 -
Implementation through Existing Programs
The City addresses statewide planning goals and legislative requirements through the General
Fund, Capital Projects, and Grants. The Mitigation Plan provides a series of recommendations -
many of which are closely related to the goals and objectives of existing planning programs. The
City will implement recommended mitigation action items through existing programs and
procedures.
The City is responsible for adhering to the State of California’s Building and Safety Codes. In
addition, the City may work with other agencies at the state level to review, develop and ensure
Building and Safety Codes are adequate to mitigate or present damage by hazards. This is to
ensure that life-safety criteria are met for new construction.
Some of the goals and action items in the Mitigation Plan will be achieved through activities
recommended in the strategic and other budget documents. The various departments involved
in developing the Plan will review it on an annual basis. During the review, the Planning Team
will ensure the Mitigation Plan action items are consistent with the City’s strategic and budget
documents to ensure the Mitigation Plan goals and action items are implemented in a timely
fashion.
Upon FEMA approval, the Planning Team will begin the process of incorporating risk information
and mitigation action items into existing planning mechanisms. The annual meetings of the
Planning Team will provide an opportunity for Planning Team members to report back on the
progress made on the integration of mitigation planning elements into the City’s planning
documents and procedures.
Specifically, the Planning Team will utilize the updates of the following documents to implement
the Mitigation Plan:
✓ Risk Assessment, City Profile, Planning Process (stakeholders) – Emergency
Operations Plan, General Plan
✓ Mitigation Actions Matrix – General Fund, Capital Projects, Grants, Bonds
Q&A | ELEMENT A: PLANNING PROCESS | A6c.
Q: Does the plan identify how, when, and by whom the plan will be updated during the 5-year cycle?
(Requirement §201.6(c)(4)(i))
A: See Annual Implementation Report below.
Annual Implementation Report
The Annual Implementation Matrix is the same as the Mitigation Actions Matrix but with a column
added to track the annual status of each Action Item. Upon approval and adoption of the Plan,
the entire Annual Implementation Report will be added to the Appendix of the Plan. Following is
a view of the Annual Implementation Matrix:
Insert Matrix once plan finalized.
An equal part of the monitoring process is the need to maintain a strategic planning process which
needs to include funding and organizational support. In that light, at least one year in advance of
the FEMA-mandated 5-year submission of an update, the Local Mitigation Officer will convene
City Council 26 – 132 1/17/2023
Hazard Mitigation Plan | 2022
Plan Maintenance
- 127 -
the Planning Team to discuss funding and timing of the update planning process. On the fifth
year of the planning cycles (five years from the date of FEMA approval), the Planning Team will
broaden its scope to include discussions and research on all of the sections within the Plan with
particular attention given to goal achievement and public participation.
Q&A | ELEMENT C: MITIGATION STRATEGY | C5a.
Q: Does the plan explain how the mitigation actions and projects will be prioritized (including cost benefit
review)? (Requirement §201.6(c)(3)(iv)); (Requirement §201.6(c)(3)(iii))
A: See Economic Analysis of Mitigation Projects and FEMA Benefit-Cost Analysis Guidelines below.
Economic Analysis of Mitigation Projects
FEMA's approach to identify the costs and benefits associated with hazard mitigation strategies,
measures, or projects fall into two general categories: benefit/cost analysis and cost-effectiveness
analysis.
Conducting benefit/cost analysis for a mitigation activity can assist communities in determining
whether a project is worth undertaking now, in order to avoid disaster -related damages later.
Cost-effectiveness analysis evaluates how best to spend a given amount of money to achieve a
specific goal. Determining the economic feasibility of mitigating hazards can provide decision-
makers with an understanding of the potential benefits and costs of an activity, as well as a basis
upon which to compare alternative projects.
Given federal funding, the Planning Team will use a FEMA-approved benefit/cost analysis
approach to identify and prioritize mitigation action items. For other projects and funding sources,
the Planning Team will use other approaches to understand the costs and benefits of each action
item and develop a prioritized list.
The “benefit”, “cost”, and overall “priority” of each mitigation action item was included in the
Mitigation Actions Matrix located in Part III: Mitigation Strategies. A
more technical assessment will be required in the event grant funding
is pursued through the Hazard Mitigation Grant Program. FEMA
Benefit-Cost Analysis Guidelines are discussed below.
FEMA Benefit-Cost Analysis Guidelines
The Stafford Act authorizes the President to establish a program to
provide technical and financial assistance to state and local
governments to assist in the implementation of hazard mitigation
measures that are cost effective and designed to substantially
reduce injuries, loss of life, hardship, or the risk of future damage and
destruction of property. To evaluate proposed hazard mitigation
projects prior to funding FEMA requires a Benefit-Cost Analysis
(BCA) to validate cost effectiveness. BCA is the method by which
the future benefits of a mitigation project are estimated and
compared to its cost. The end result is a benefit-cost ratio (BCR), which is derived from a project’s
total net benefits divided by its total project cost. The BCR is a numerical expression of the cost
effectiveness of a project. A project is considered to be cost effective when the BCR is 1.0 or
greater, indicating the benefits of a prospective hazard mitigation project are sufficient to justify
the costs.
City Council 26 – 133 1/17/2023
Hazard Mitigation Plan | 2022
Plan Maintenance
- 128 -
Although the preparation of a BCA is a technical process, FEMA has developed software, written
materials, and training to support the effort and assist with estimating the expected future benefits
over the useful life of a retrofit project. It is imperative to conduct a BCA early in the project
development process to ensure the likelihood of meeting the cost-effective eligibility requirement
in the Stafford Act.
The BCA program consists of guidelines, methodologies and software modules for a range of
major natural hazards including:
✓ Flood (Riverine, Coastal Zone A, Coastal Zone V)
✓ Hurricane Wind
✓ Hurricane Safe Room
✓ Damage-Frequency Assessment
✓ Tornado Safe Room
✓ Earthquake
✓ Wildfire
The BCA program provides up to date program data, up to date default and standard values, user
manuals and training. Overall, the program makes it easier for users and evaluators to conduct
and review BCAs and to address multiple buildings and hazards in a single BCA module run.

Evaluating and Updating the Plan
Evaluation
At the conclusion of the Annual Implementation Meeting, the Local Mitigation Officer will lead a
discussion with the Planning Team on the success (or failure) of the Mitigation Plan to meet the
plan goals. The results of that discussion will be added to the Evaluation portion of the Annual
Implementation Report and inclusion in the 5-year update to the Plan. Efforts will be made
immediately by the Local Mitigation Officer to address any failed plan goals.
Formal Update Process
As identified above, the Mitigation Action Items will be monitored for status on an annual basis as
well as an evaluation of the Plan’s goals. The Local Mitigation Officer or designee will be
responsible for contacting the Planning Team members and organizing the annual meeting which
will take place annually during the month of the Plan’s approval. Planning Team members will
also be responsible for participating in the formal update to the Plan every fifth year of the planning
cycle.
The Planning Team will begin the update process with a review of the plan’s goals and mitigation
action items to determine their relevance to changing situations within the City as well as changes
in State or Federal policy, and to ensure they are addressing current and expected conditions.
The Planning Team will also review the Plan’s Risk Assessment to determine if this information
should be updated or modified, given any new available data. The coordinating organizations
responsible for the various action items will report on the status of their projects, including the
success of various implementation processes, difficulties encountered, success of coordination
efforts, and which strategies should be revised. Amendments and updates will be made to the
Mitigation Actions Matrix and other sections in the Plan as deemed necessary by the Planning
Team.

The City is dedicated to involving the public directly in the continual review and updates to the
Mitigation Plan. Copies of the plan will be made available at City Hall and on the City website.
The existence and location of these copies will be publicized in the City’s social media resources
and on the website. This site will also contain an email address and phone number where people
can direct their comments and concerns. At the discretion of the Local Mitigation Officer, a public
meeting may be held after the Annual Implementation Meeting. The meeting would provide the
public a forum in which interested individuals and/or agencies could express their concerns,
opinions, or ideas about the plan.
The Local Mitigation Officer will be responsible for using City resources to publicize any public
meetings and always free to maintain public involvement through the public access channel, web
page, and newspapers.

Program
AGENDA TITLE
Adopt a Resolution Approving the Application for Grant Funds from the Urban Greening
Program
RECOMMENDED ACTION
Adopt a resolution approving the application for grant funds for Urban Greening
Program for the Bristol-Tolliver Street Urban Greening Project.
DISCUSSION
The California Natural Resources Agency (CNRA) Urban Greening Program was
created on September 14, 2016 and is funded by the Greenhouse Gas Reduction Fund
(GGRF). In 2021, Senate Bill 170 allocated $50 million from the General Fund to CNRA
for its Urban Greening Program for projects that reduce Greenhouse Gas (GHG)
emissions and provide multiple benefits.
The Bristol-Tolliver Street Urban Greening Project features the transformation of vacant
City-owned parcels at the intersection of Bristol Street and Tolliver Street into a 1.25-
acre new community park. The project will include drought tolerant landscaping, shade
trees, recreational features, pedestrian pathways, signage, lighting, picnic benches, a
stormwater bioretention basin, and a stormwater capture and reuse system (Exhibit 1).
The project will provide significant aesthetic and environmental benefits, and received
several letters of support from the community (Exhibit 2).
This project is currently in the conceptual design phase and Public Works Agency staff
submitted a concept proposal for $3,502,500 of grant funding to the Urban Greening
Program. A resolution is a required component in the final step of the grant application
process (Exhibit 3). Should funding be awarded, completion of project design is
anticipated in late 2023 and construction is anticipated to commence in early 2024.

TOPIC: Assembly Bill 361
AGENDA TITLE:
Teleconferencing for Meetings of City Council and All Boards, Committees, and
Commissions Pursuant to the Provisions of Assembly Bill 361
RECOMMENDED ACTION
Adopt a resolution to consider continuing the use of teleconferencing for City Council,
board, committee, and commission meetings pursuant to the provisions of Assembly Bill
361 for the next 30 days.
DISCUSSION
On March 17, 2020, Governor Gavin Newsom issued Executive Order N-29-20,
suspending certain provisions of the Brown Act to allow legislative bodies to conduct
their meetings completely telephonically or by other electronic means. City Council
meetings have been conducted by Zoom, with councilmembers and staff joining from
remote locations when necessary.
The suspension of certain provisions of the Brown Act was further extended by
Governor Newsom on June 11, 2021 by the issuance of Executive Order N-08-21,
which continued to allow completely virtual City Council (and other legislative body)
meetings. This order stayed in effect until September 30, 2021.
In response, AB 361 was signed into effect by Governor Newsom on September 16,
2021. It amends the Brown Act to allow legislative bodies to meet virtually, provided
there is a state of emergency, and either (1) state or local officials have imposed or
recommended measures to promote social distancing, or (2) the legislative body
determines by majority vote that meeting in person would present imminent risks to the
health and safety of attendees.
The City of Santa Ana’s current practices with respect to live public comment via Zoom
already satisfy all of the new requirements in AB 361. Additionally, the individual
legislative bodies can make their own findings for the AB 361 teleconferencing

resolution for future meetings. Determinations to continue to utilize remote meetings as
allowed by AB 361 must be re-visited by the legislative body every 30 days with the
support of new findings. Staff recommends this extension period to act as a helpful
transitional stage for boards, committees, and commissions who still currently meet
virtually.
Most recently, on December 20, 2022, the City Council adopted Resolution No. 2022-
103, making the required findings under AB 361 to allow the City to continue to offer
teleconference accessibility for public meetings after September 30, 2021, to help
mitigate the spread of COVID-19. The attached resolution (Exhibit 1) declares additional
findings to allow for the continued use of teleconferencing for City Council, board,
commission, and committee meetings pursuant to AB 361.

TOPIC: Police Oversight Commission
AGENDA TITLE:
Police Oversight Commission Informational Report
RECOMMENDED ACTION
Accept informational report and provide direction to staff.
DISCUSSION
Background: Ordinance Establishing the Police Oversight Commission
On November 15, 2022, the City Council adopted an ordinance establishing a Police
Oversight Commission. The purpose of the Police Oversight Commission is to improve
transparency, increase the accountability of and public confidence in the Santa Ana
Police Department and to provide for an Independent Oversight Director. The purpose
of the Commission is to act through the Independent Oversight Director to provide the
Chief of Police, City Manager, and City Council independent investigations of, analysis,
and recommendations on police practices, police misconduct, officer-involved
shootings, and other serious uses of force.
About the Police Oversight Commission
Once established, the Police Oversight Commission will consist of seven members,
referred to as “commissioners”, who will meet at least once a month to engage in the
following:
•Review, evaluate and make recommendations to the Chief of Police and City
Council regarding the Police Department’s policies, practices, and procedures,
develop programs and strategies to promote positive police-community relations,
and make appropriate recommendations to the City Manager and the City
Council.
•Receive, hear, and review misconduct complaints, tort claims, or lawsuits made
against on-duty Santa Ana Police Officers which allege Santa Ana Police Officers
have engaged in misconduct as specified in Santa Ana Municipal Code Sec. 2-
665(b).
City Council 29 – 1 1/17/2023

•Receive and discuss reports from the Independent Oversight Director on all
incidents involving alleged misconduct by Santa Ana Police Officers as specified
in Santa Ana Municipal Code Sec. 2-665(b).
•Direct the Independent Oversight Director to independently review and
investigate citizen complaints, tort claims, or lawsuits alleging the types of police
misconduct as identified in section 2-665(b) or when the City Council provides
authorization pursuant to Santa Ana City Charter Section 1100.
•Authorize the Independent Oversight Director to audit complaint files and review
policies to ensure best practices are implemented.
•Advise the Mayor, City Council, City Manager and Police Chief on community
relations issues involving the Police Department.
•Review any Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) between the City and the
Santa Ana Police Officers Association or the City and the Santa Ana Police
Management Association, and provide suggestions and recommendations
concerning negotiations to the City Manager and the City Council.
•Conduct public meetings to educate the community on the purpose of the Police
Oversight Commission and provide a forum for discussions about police policies,
practices, and procedures.
•Prepare and submit an annual report to the City Council concerning the
Commission’s activities, findings and recommendations.
Each member of the City Council will nominate an eligible candidate to serve on the
Commission and the City Council will collectively consider appointing each candidate to
the Commission. Once a commissioner is appointed, they will be required to take an
oath and execute a confidentiality agreement and engage in a series of trainings, and
may participate in a ride-along with the Santa Ana Police Department.
Once a quorum is established, the Commission will hold its first meeting. At that
meeting, the Commission will fix the time and place of regularly scheduled meetings.
The Commission will be provided with regular staff support, who, along with the City
Manager or their designee and Police Chief or their designee, will attend each
Commission meeting. Commissioners will be compensated $50 per meeting, with no
more than four compensated meetings per month.
About the Independent Oversight Director
The City Council is authorized to appoint an Independent Oversight Director who will
either be engaged through a professional services agreement or who may be hired as
an exempt at-will City employee who will serve at the will and pleasure of the City
Council. In addition to staff support that will be provided to the Commission, the
Independent Oversight Director will assist the Commission in performing its duties and
exercising its powers. This includes the following:
•Conduct investigations of allegations of on-duty Santa Ana Police Officers who
have engaged in misconduct as specified in Santa Ana Municipal Code Sec. 2-
665(b).
City Council 29 – 2 1/17/2023

determine whether death or great bodily injury was caused by direct police
action.
•Audit complaint files and review policies to ensure best practices are
implemented.

TOPIC: Public Hearing to adopt Ordinance to Disestablish the Downtown Santa Ana
Business Improvement District
AGENDA TITLE:
Public Hearing: Consider an Ordinance to Disestablish the Downtown Santa Ana
Business Improvement District
RECOMMENDED ACTION
Approve first reading of an ordinance to disestablish the Downtown Santa Ana Business
Improvement District.
DISCUSSION
On February 6, 1984, the City Council adopted Ordinance No. NS-1715, pursuant to
state law, creating a Business Improvement District (BID) in Downtown Santa Ana. The
BID was established as a means of providing the Downtown business community with
the funding to promote events and create promotional materials, increase the security
presence, enhance maintenance of the downtown shopping corridors, and implement
streetscape improvements. The BID is funded through an additional charge on the
business license tax for those businesses within the BID boundary.
The City Council activated the current BID on July 1, 2013. To administer the activities
of the BID, the City executed operating agreements with Downtown Inc. and the Santa
Ana Business Council in an effort to address the needs of the two business
associations. Each association received 50 percent of the BID assessment,
approximately $100,000 per year.
On October 6, 2003, the City Council appointed the Community Redevelopment and
Housing Commission (CRHC) as the Downtown Santa Ana Business Improvement
District Advisory Board. As the BID Advisory Board, the CRHC, now known as the
Community Development Commission (CDC), is responsible for making
recommendations to the City Council on the expenditure of revenues derived from the
levy of assessments, on the classification of businesses, as applicable, and on the
method and basis of levying the assessments, including the annual budget.

At its regular meeting on October 26, 2022, by a vote of 6:0 (with one recusal), the
Commission recommended to the City Council to dissolve the BID.
Over the course of the year, downtown businesses held several town hall meetings to
express their dissent for the BID. Several protest forms were submitted to the City Clerk
and many merchants expressed their dissention for the BID and its operations at the
Commission and City Council meetings.
On December 20, 2022, the City Council adopted a resolution of intention to
disestablish the BID and set a public hearing for January 17, 2023. Upon the approval
of the resolution and ordinance, the two operating agreements with the business
associations will terminate.
BID levy assessments will also terminated as of January 1, 2023. All businesses in the
BID have been notified and their BID assessment has been removed from their
business license tax bill for 2023 and thereafter.
Any remaining revenues derived from the levy assessments shall be refunded to the
owners of the method and basis that was used to calculate the assessments levied in
the fiscal year in which the area is disestablished.

Property Located at 2245 South Halladay Street (APN 016-105-19), Owned by Kenneth
A. Steele and Ana Steele, Husband and Wife as Joint Tenants, Declaring the Public
Necessity and Interest Thereof (Project No. 18-6901) (Non-General Fund)
RECOMMENDED ACTION
Adopt a resolution authorizing the condemnation of the entire real property located at
2245 South Halladay Street (APN 016-105-19), owned by Kenneth A. Steele and Ana

thereof. (Requires five affirmative votes)
DISCUSSION
Warner Avenue is classified as an East-West Major Arterial in the City’s General Plan
Circulation Element and the County of Orange Master Plan of Arterial Highways.
Improving the one-mile segment of Warner Avenue from Main Street to Wright Street
has been a long-term priority project, constructed in several phases. Improvements
include widening the street from a four-lane roadway to a six-lane arterial, to address
safety issues and provide adequate vehicular capacity. Also included in the project is
the installation of parkways, raised median landscaping, storm drains, protected bike
lanes, sound walls, street lights, and traffic signals. The City is acquiring properties for
the development of Phase 2 of the Warner Avenue Improvements Project, bounded by
Oak Street and Grand Avenue. Construction is anticipated to begin in summer 2023.
To accommodate these improvements, acquisition of the parcel at 2245 South Halladay
Street is required (Exhibit 1). The Public Works Agency has made a diligent effort to
negotiate with owner’s Kenneth A. Steele and Ana Steele, Husband and Wife as joint
tenants. A good faith offer was made on November 15, 2022, in the amount of $530,000
(Exhibit 2). The Public Works Agency has made, and will continue to make, every effort
to reach a settlement with the property owner. However, to maintain the Warner Avenue
Improvements project schedule and meet the funding requirement to commence
construction in summer 2023, staff is requesting the adoption of a Resolution of

The basis for this offer is explained more thoroughly in the attachments to this letter that are
made a part of this offer by reference. This offer is conditional upon the City Council ratifying
this offer by a formal action taken at a regular public meeting authorizing the execution of a
Purchase and Sale Agreement or adopting a Resolution of Necessity, or both.
If you are not satisfied with the City's offer, you are encouraged to present to us any material
you believe to be relevant to the value of the Property, which material will be carefully
considered by the City. If, in the City's opinion, the additional information warrants a change in
the offer, the City's offer will be adjusted accordingly. If a voluntary agreement cannot be
reached, the City may consider formal condemnation proceedings against the Property through
its power of eminent domain or abandon its intention to acquire the Property, giving proper
notice to you in either event. The City has made no decision to exercise its power of eminent
domain to acquire the Property and can only do so after it holds a hearing, at which all affected
Property owners have had an opportunity to appear and be heard.
The Purchase Price is the full amount established by the appraisal as the fair market value of
the Property and the just compensation for such acquisition. A written statement and a
summary of the basis for the amount established as the Purchase Price is set forth in the
attached Statement of Just Compensation, identified as Attachment 3.
The California Relocation Assistance and Real Property Acquisition Guidelines provides that
each Owner from whom the City purchases real property or an interest therein, or each tenant
owning improvements on said Property, be provided with information relating to the acquisition
procedures, as also stated in the CA Government Code, Paragraph 7267.2(a). This information
is provided in Attachment 4.
Please also be advised that under Code of Civil Procedure Section 1263.025, the City of Santa
Ana will reimburse an owner of property, up to the amount of $5,000 for the owner to secure an
independent appraisal of property subject to a potential acquisition. Although you have the right
to obtain your own appraisal and are entitled to receive up to $5,000 for your appraisal as
described above, please note that the City of Santa Ana is not obligated to accept your
appraiser’s value of the Property Interest. The City of Santa Ana, however, will review your
appraisal and if appropriate, confer with the City’s independent appraiser regarding the merits of
your appraisal. If you wish to take advantage of this reimbursement, please forward to the
undersigned a copy of the paid invoice from an appraiser. In order to qualify for this
reimbursement, the appraiser selected must be identified and must be a California Certified
General Real Estate Appraiser in good standing. In addition, the copy of the paid invoice must
be submitted to the undersigned no later than ninety (90) days following the date of this letter.
The City reserves the right to contact the appraiser to verify that payment has been made and in
what amount, prior to approving any request for reimbursement.
Please let us know prior to December 20, 2022 if the City’s offer is acceptable. A written
agreement concerning the acquisition of the Property will be provided to you for your review and
approval.

TOPIC: Vacate a Portion of Edendale Court
AGENDA TITLE
Public Hearing: Adopt a Resolution Vacating a Portion of Edendale Court behind 1222
and 1226 South Birch Street, Abandonment 22-01
RECOMMENDED ACTION
Hold a public hearing and adopt a resolution vacating a portion of Edendale Court
behind 1222 and 1226 South Birch Street.
DISCUSSION
Edendale Court was dedicated to the City of Santa Ana in 1924 on Tract Map No. 648
as a 30-foot by 210-foot long street easement (Exhibit 1). This easement is currently
separated into three different states of improvement conditions. The westernmost
section is 120 feet long and provides vehicular access to 1221 South Ross Street and
1225 South Ross Street. It is improved with pavement, curb, gutter and sidewalk. The
middle section is 45-feet long, unimproved, and fenced in with an accessible gate. The
easternmost 45-foot section has been fenced in within the perimeter of the properties at
1222 South Birch Street and 1226 South Birch Street.
Based on historical aerial photos, the segment of Edendale Court has not been
improved as a roadway for more than 50 years. Because of the long-term nature of the
fenced in eastern section of Edendale Court and the absence of need to use the portion
of the street for public access, staff is requesting the City vacate the eastern 45-foot
section of Edendale Court (Exhibit 2).
On December 20, 2022, the City Council adopted a resolution declaring the City’s intent
to vacate the segment of easternmost 45-foot section of Edendale Court.
According to the title report obtained by the City, an easement over all of Edendale Court
is owned by the City of Santa Ana. If the eastern 45-foot section of Edendale Court is
vacated, it would revert half to the owner of 1226 South Birch Street and half to the owner
of 1222 South Birch Street (Exhibit 3). The remaining sections of the Edendale Court
easement will continue to be public right-of-way.

Utilities, other government agencies, and City agencies have been advised of the
vacation of this Edendale Court section. To accommodate the vacation, staff has
determined that the owner of 1226 South Birch Street must complete a Lot Line
Adjustment involving any landlocked parcels under her ownership (Exhibit 3) in order to
ensure street frontage is available to all of those parcels. This Lot Line Adjustment will
need to be completed prior to the recordation of the street vacation resolution. The
resolution to vacate includes a condition that the vacation will not become effective until
after the Lot Line Adjustment is recorded. This will prevent the temporary creation of
additional landlocked parcels.
After both the Lot Line Adjustment and street vacation resolution have been completed,
the Public Works Agency staff will begin the process of requesting funding for
improvements of the middle section of Edendale Court with pavement, curb, gutter, and
sidewalk. This improvement will provide physical access to Assessor’s Parcel 013-151-
41.
The recommended action adopts a resolution (Exhibit 4) vacating the easternmost 45-
foot section of Edendale Court.
ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT
In accordance with the California Environmental Quality Act, the recommended actions
are exempt from further review. Categorical Exemption Environmental Review No. ER-
2022-112 will be filed for this project.
FISCAL IMPACT
There is no fiscal impact associated with this action.

Section 2. The City Council finds from all the evidence submitted that the
Vacation Area is unnecessary for present or prospective use.
Section 3. Except for the reservation of the easement described herein, the
Vacation Area, as shown on Exhibit A, is hereby vacated pursuant to Chapter 3 of Part 3
of Division 9 of the Streets and Highways Code, upon the satisfaction of the following
condition: Said vacation shall only become effective upon the property owner of 1226 South

TOPIC: Zoning Ordinance Amendment No. 2022-03: Updates to Various Sections of
Chapter 41 (Zoning) of the Santa Ana Municipal Code (SAMC)
AGENDA TITLE:
Zoning Ordinance Amendment No. 2022-03: Updates to Various Sections of Chapter 41
(Zoning) of the Santa Ana Municipal Code (SAMC) Related to Family Daycare,
Regional Planned Sign Program Regulations, Massage Establishments, Medical Offices
Operated in the Professional Zone, Retail Uses in Industrial Zones, Trash Bin
Enclosures, Urban Lot Split and Two-Unit Developments Standards, Various Use
Definitions, Regulation of Noxious Uses, Regulation of Electric Fences, Synthetic Turf,
and Clarifications to Permitting Standards for Light Processing Facilities
RECOMMENDED ACTION
Adopt an ordinance approving Zoning Ordinance Amendment No. 2022-03 to amend
various sections of Chapter 41 (Zoning) of the Santa Ana Municipal Code (SAMC).
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Staff is proposing to amend several sections of Chapter 41 of the SAMC to comply with
changes in state law, respond to current local land use trends and their impacts on the
built environment, clarify and revise standards, respond to current economic trends, and
begin a series of Zoning Code revisions consistent with actions adopted in the General
Plan Update. Staff is requesting amendments to various sections of Chapter 41
pertaining to family daycare, regional planned sign program regulations, massage
establishments, medical offices operated in the professional zone, retail uses in
industrial zones, trash bin enclosures, Urban Lot Split and Two-Unit Development
standards, various use definitions, regulation of noxious uses, regulation of electric
fences, synthetic turf, and clarifications to permitting standards for light processing
facilities. The proposed amendments are described in further detail in the Discussion
section of this report.
Planning Commission Action
At its regular meeting on December 12, 2022, the Planning Commission voted 4:0
(Chair Pham and Commissioner Ramos absent, and one vacant seat) to recommend
that the City Council adopt an ordinance approving Zoning Ordinance Amendment
(ZOA) No. 2022-03. In addition to the Commission’s recommendations, Staff has also
included additional clarifications and minor changes to the definition of “Medical Office”
and CEQA exemption code section for the City Council to consider.

Urgency Ordinance
At its regular meeting on December 20, 2022, the City Council approved an urgency
ordinance (ZOA No. 2022-07) amending various sections of Chapter 41 related to
noxious uses; medical offices operated by government, government-subsidized, not-for-
profit, or philanthropic entities; electric fences; and various use definitions. The
amendments approved under the urgency ordinance are also included in this ZOA,
should there be challenges related to the exigency posed by the threats to public health,
safety, or welfare that were demonstrated by the urgency ordinance. In addition, staff
has already begun evaluating the appropriate distances for expanding the buffer
between noxious uses and sensitive receptors beyond 500 feet as directed by the City
Council during the adoption of the urgency ordinance and will present a
recommendation to the City Council at a future meeting.
DISCUSSION
Various sections within Chapter 41 of the SAMC have been revised periodically over the
last several years to respond to changes in development and business practices, to adopt
new permitting procedures, and to comply with changes to state and federal laws. In a
continuing effort to comply with changes to state law, establish high-quality development
standards, create a user friendly environment for residents and the business community,
and to commence the work of enacting the various policies and actions set forth in the
General Plan, the Planning Division is proposing revisions to various sections of the
Zoning Code.
Table 1 below and on the following pages illustrates the existing and proposed regulations.
The amendments identified are the first of several amendments that will be made to the
Zoning Code leading up to the comprehensive update of the Zoning Code. The proposed
changes would apply citywide.
Table 1: ZOA No. 2022-03 Current and Proposed Text Regulations

same benefits as regional commercial
centers, automobile dealerships, and
attractions for the purposes of flexible
on-premises signage.
Massage
Establishments
The SAMC currently allows massage
establishments in commercial zoning
districts and plan areas where service
uses are permitted by right.
1. Revise the uses subject to a
conditional use permit sections of the
Community Commercial (C1),
Community Commercial—Museum
District (C1-MD), General
Commercial (C2), Planned Shopping
Center (C4), Arterial Commercial
(C5), and South Main Street
Commercial District (C-SM) to
require a conditional use permit for
massage establishments.
2. Revise massage ordinance (Sec. 41-
1752) to require conditional use for
massage establishments.
3. Revise massage ordinance
definitions (Sec. 41-1751) to create
distinct definitions for chair massage
and ancillary massage
establishment, allowing them to be
regulated separately from massage
establishments.
Medical Offices in
the Professional
Zoning District
The Professional (P) zoning district
permits medical and dental offices by
right. However, the zoning district does
not currently permit medical uses
operated by government, government-
subsidized, not-for-profit, or
philanthropic entities.
Revise the uses permitted subject to a
conditional use permit section of the
Professional (P) zoning district to require
a conditional use permit for medical
offices operated by government,
government-subsidized, not-for-profit, or
philanthropic entities.
Retail Use in
Industrial Zoning
Districts
Industrial zoning districts currently
allow retail uses occupying up to five
percent of a tenant space as an
ancillary use (Sec. 41-472.1).
Update the uses permitted section in the
Light Industrial (M1) district to allow retail
uses by right on properties that front
arterial streets (Sec. 41-472).
Change of Use
Parking Exceptions
The SAMC (Sec. 41-1309.1) permits
change of use in tenant spaces under
two thousand five hundred (2,500)
square feet without requiring additional
parking and loading spaces.
Update the Zoning Code to extend
change of use parking exception to
industrial properties along arterial streets
when converted to retail if retail
component is equal to or less than 50
percent the gross square footage of the
tenant space (Sec. 41-1309.1).
Trash Bin
Enclosures
The SAMC (Sec. 41-623) provides
trash bin enclosure standards.
However, standards have not been
updated in some time and no longer
align with changes to state law related
to waste collection.
Update the trash enclosure standards to
align with CalGreen and SB 1383
requirements and provide use and
maintenance standards (Sec. 41-623).
Urban Lot Splits and
Two-Unit
Developments (SB
9)
The City adopted its Urban Lot Split
and Two-Unit Development standards
(Sec. 41-2105 et seq.) in December of
2021 in response to California Senate

products shall be affordable to very low
or low income households; for-sale
products shall be affordable to moderate
income households (Sec. 41-2109 and
Sec. 41-2115).
Noxious Uses The SAMC regulates industrial and
noxious land uses through permitting
them in industrial zoning districts.
However, the SAMC does not provide
additional regulation for uses that have
a regional, state, or federal permit to
emit or store or process hazardous
waste that are in close proximity to
sensitive land uses.
1. Create new “noxious uses” section to
require approval of a conditional use
permit for industrial type uses located
within 500 feet of a sensitive land use
that requires a permit to discharge air
contaminants or process or store
regulated chemicals or substances
(Sec. 41-199.4).
2. Update the Non-Conforming section
of the Zoning Code to require a
conditional use permit for noxious
uses whenever an existing non-
conforming business changes
ownership and requires a new
certificate of occupancy. Additionally,
require businesses with these types
of permits to remain in compliance
with applicable laws or lose their non-
conforming status (Sec. 41-683 and
Sec. 41-683.6).
Counseling Services
- Definition
The SAMC does not currently define
counseling services.
Create “counseling services” definition in
Division 2 (Definitions), Article I of the
Zoning Code (Sec. 41-44.6).
Medical Office -
Definition
The SAMC does not currently define
medical office.
1. Create “medical office” definition in
Division 2 (Definitions), Article I of the
Zoning Code (Sec. 41-121).
2. Update the permitted uses sections
of the Professional (P), Community
Commercial (C1), Community
Commercial—Museum District (C1-
MD), Arterial Commercial (C5), and
South Main Street Commercial
District (C-SM) to consistently use
“medical office.”
Professional,
Business, and
Administrative Office
- Definition
The SAMC does not currently define
professional, business, and
administrative office.
1. Create “professional, business, and
administrative office” definition in
Division 2 (Definitions), Article I of the
Zoning Code (Sec.41-127.5)
2. Update the permitted uses sections
of the Professional (P), Community
Commercial (C1), Community

Family Daycare Facilities
Under the California Child Day Care Facilities Act, the State Department of Social Services
licenses and regulates family daycare homes. In Santa Ana, a small family daycare home,
which may provide care for up to eight children, is considered a residential use of property
for purposes of all local ordinances. Large family daycare homes, which provide care for
up to 14 children, require approval of a permit.
Senate Bill (SB) 234, effective January 1, 2020, now requires a large family daycare facility
to be treated as a residential use of property for purposes of all local ordinances. SB 234
also prevents local jurisdictions from requiring any form of a permit, license, tax, fee, or
other clearance to operate a large day care facility on a residential property. Family
daycare facilities must be allowed on any property where a residential use is allowed,
including single-family residences, duplexes and triplexes, townhomes, and multiple-family
dwellings (apartments), according to Section 1596.78 of the Health and Safety Code.
The text of various zoning district regulations in the Zoning Code currently require approval
of a land use certificate (LUC) application and accompanying fee to operate a large family
daycare facility. In addition, SAMC Section 41-42.5 contains a definition for “Child Care
Facilities.” The proposed ordinance would delete references to child care facilities in
various Zoning Code sections where residential uses are permitted, and would create a
new Section 41-192.6 allowing small and large family daycare as an accessory use to
“professional, business, and
administrative office.”
Electric Fences The SAMC is currently silent on electric
fences. The SAMC neither defines nor
regulates electric fences, which have
become more widely used as a means
to secure property from theft and/or
vandalism.
1. Create “electric fence” definition in
Division 2 (Definitions), Article I of the
Zoning Code (Sec. 41-54.5)
2. Add new section to regulate zones
and properties where electric fences
are permitted (M1 and M2, where
abutting a rail right-of-way) subject to
a minor exception (Sec. 41-610.5).
Light Processing
Facilities
The SAMC (Sec. 41-472 and Sec. 41-
472.5) requires a conditional use
permit for light processing facilities in
the Light Industrial (M-1) zoning
district. Section 41-1251 (Permits
required) in Article XIV. – Recycling
Facilities does not explicitly state that
a conditional use permit is required
for a light processing facility.
Amend Section 41-1251 to explicitly list
and require a conditional use permit for
light processing facilities, consistent
with Section 41-472 and Section 41-
472.5.
Landscaping –
Synthetic Turf
The SAMC (Sec. 41-100 and Sec. 41-
609) currently requires landscape
areas be maintained with live plant
material and other decorative
elements. The code is silent on
allowance of synthetic turf for projects
where the Water Efficiency
Landscape Standards do not apply.
Amend Section 41-100 and Section 41-
609 to permit use of synthetic turf for
projects that are not subject to the
Water Efficiency Landscape Standards,
provided they comply with landscape
guidelines and permitting requirements
established by the Director of the
Planning and Building Agency.

residential uses. The proposed ordinance would also create new definitions for “Family
Daycare Facilities” and “Daycare Centers,” and replace any reference to “Child Care
Facilities” in the permitted uses sections in the commercial and industrial zoning districts
with “Daycare Centers.” The changes would update the Zoning Code to be consistent with
state law.
Regional Planned Sign Programs
The Zoning Code currently affords regional commercial centers, automobile dealerships,
and attractions flexibility with their on-premises signage without the need for approval of a
variance application. Instead, SAMC Sec. 41-885 provides for approval of a regional
planned sign program (RSPG) by the Planning Commission; the RSPG contains all
location, design, and installation specifications for signage within the scope of a regional
commercial centers, automobile dealerships, or attractions. Examples of such regional
facilities in Santa Ana with approved RSPGs include MainPlace, Discovery Cube Orange
County, McFadden Place, Hutton Centre, and Tom’s Truck Center. These regional
facilities are approved for a combination of wall signs, banners, monument (freestanding)
signs, mimetic signs, and digital signs for on-premises advertising.
Staff is proposing to amend SAMC Section 41-885 to define and allow a “regional
institution” to submit an application for an RSPG for staff review and subsequent approval
by the Planning Commission. This amendment is a proactive response to the effects of the
global Covid-19 pandemic, during which many hospitals and institutions of higher learning
began installing community-oriented signage to recognize the contributions of educational
and hospital staff during a critical time. As with any other regional facility as defined by
SAMC Section 41-885, these types of facilities would seek Planning Commission approval
of an RSPG before installing such signage, along with any other permanent advertising
signage they may contemplate in the RSPG package.
Massage Establishments
On March 16, 2009, the City adopted Ordinance Amendment No. 2008-02 and Zoning
Ordinance Amendment No. 2008-01 to amend Chapter 22 (Massage Establishments)
and Chapter 41 (Zoning) of the SAMC to regulate massage establishments and
massage technicians in response to concerns relating to the impacts of massage
establishments and the potential establishment of new locations in the city. Past
amendments to Chapter 41 included requirements for a CUP for massage
establishments, an LUC for ancillary massage uses, implemented separation criteria
similar to adult entertainment uses, and created operational standards specific to the
massage use.
Subsequently, in September of 2009, California Senate Bill 731 (SB 731) became
effective, which restricted local governments’ ability to regulate massage establishments
and massage technicians. The passage of SB 731 exempted massage technicians that
possessed a massage technician certificate issued by the California Massage Therapy
Council (CAMTC), a nonprofit public benefit corporation, from regulations and permit
requirements that were previously adopted by the City. The new law required that

0
massage establishments and other professional service uses be regulated in a uniform
manner, prohibiting local governments from requiring restrooms, showers, or other
facilities not required of other professional services. The changes to state law
preempted City regulations and made several provisions of the Code inconsistent with
state law and resulted in the City being unable to enforce the massage ordinance, and
establishments and technicians were able to operate within the City without obtaining a
CUP, LUC, or massage establishment permit. The passage of SB 731 had unintended
consequences that resulted in the proliferation of massage establishments that engaged
in unlawful activity that local governments had to deal with.
On January 1, 2015, California Assembly Bill (AB) 1147 (AB 1147) became effective,
amending several sections of the Business and Professions Code and of the
Government Code relating to massage establishments. By adopting AB 1147, the State
Legislature returned broad control over land use in regulating massage establishments
to local governments, provided only reasonable and necessary fees and regulations
were enacted. Subsequently, the City adopted Ordinance No. NS-2903, which made
changes to Chapter 22 and Chapter 41 of the SAMC, establishing a by-right massage
establishment permitting program. The program allowed the establishment and
operation of massage establishments with approval of a Certificate of Occupancy
issued by the Planning and Building Agency and an annual massage establishment
permit issued by the Police Department, provided operating and permit requirements
were met.
Despite the existing requirements and development standards in place, massage
establishments have proven to present opportunities for acts of prostitution, human
trafficking, and the use and sale of illegal drugs, resulting in increased enforcement
actions. Staff proposes to amend Chapter 41 of the SAMC to require a CUP for
massage establishments, which would allow the City to more closely regulate this use
and adopt conditions of approval to avoid or mitigate any impacts this use may have on
the surrounding properties. The amendments distinguish ancillary massage
establishments (i.e., commonly part of a spa in a hotel, athletic club, or gym), chair
massage (i.e., massage business providing seated massages in an open area), from a
massage establishment business. Ancillary massage establishments and chair
massage businesses would not require a CUP. The proposed amendments will reduce
the burdens on the City’s enforcement agencies and permit the deployment of services
to other matters.
Retail Uses in Industrial Zoning Districts
The global Covid-19 pandemic has resulted in impacts to local communities and
businesses alike. It has also resulted in novel business concepts and the manner and
types of spaces in which they operate to change. The Chapter 41 of the SAMC currently
permits retail uses in the Light Industrial (M1) zoning district and Heavy Industrial (M2)
zoning districts when they are ancillary to a primary industrial use and occupy no more
than five percent of the gross square footage of the tenant space. To respond to
changing business practices and needs, and to allow additional flexibility to allow

business to thrive, staff is proposing to amend Section 41-472 of the SAMC to permit
retail uses in the M1 zoning district on properties that front an arterial street.
Change of Use Parking Exceptions
In September of 2017, the City approved Ordinance No. NS-2923 amending Chapter 41
of the SAMC to permit a change of use exception to allow the change of certain uses
within an existing building up to 2,500 square feet in size without the need to provide
additional parking and loading spaces. For example, a tenant space may change from
retail (five (5) parking spaces per 1,000 gross square feet) to a restaurant use (eight (8)
spaces per 1,000 gross square feet) without providing additional parking. The adopted
ordinance allowed more flexibility and facilitated the re-tenanting of commercial,
professional, and industrial centers by removing barriers to permit the change in use.
Staff is proposing amending Section 41-1309.1 of the SAMC to extend that flexibility
and facilitate the change of use in existing industrial centers that front arterial streets
from industrial uses to retail when the retail component is equal to or less than 50
percent of the gross square footage of the tenant space. Changes in use that exceed
the proposed threshold would be required to provide the minimum off-street parking
required by Chapter 41 of the SAMC.
Trash Enclosures
In response to SB 1383, also known as the Short-lived Climate Pollutant Reduction Act
of 2016, and other changes to state law related to recycling and waste collection, the
City updated Article II (Solid Waste Collection Regulations) of Chapter 16 (Garbage,
Trash, and Weeds) of the SAMC April of 2022. Staff is proposing amending Section 41-
623 of the SAMC to update the trash bin enclosure and maintenance standards to
reflect and be consistent with the new regulations in Chapter 16.
Urban Lot Splits and Two-Unit Developments (SB 9)
The City adopted its Urban Lot Split and Two-Unit Development standards (Sec. 41-2105
et seq.) December of 2021 in response to SB 9, also known as the California Housing
Opportunity and More Efficiency (HOME) Act. The intent of the ordinance was to require
all new units created through its provisions be deed restricted as affordable. Currently,
Chapter 41 of the SAMC requires at least one unit created under the ordinance be deed
restricted as affordable. The existing code does not explicitly state the required affordability
level of the unit. Additionally, existing code lacks clarity on the total number of affordable
units that are required when an urban lot split is proposed. Staff is proposing amending
Section 41-2105 to clarify that any net new units created through the provisions of Division
2 or Division 3 of Article XX be made affordable at the following levels: rental products
shall be made affordable to very low or low income households; for-sale products shall be
made affordable to moderate income households. Lastly, staff is proposing to correct a
typographical error related to front yard setbacks. The existing code states that at least a
twenty-five (25) foot setback is required, when it should have read twenty (20), consistent
with the Single Family (R1) zoning district standards.

Noxious Uses
In response to community concerns related to environmental pollution and the proximity
of certain industrial uses in relation to homes, schools, and parks, the City adopted
numerous environmental justice policies and actions in its General Plan to amend use
regulations and development standards in the Zoning Code. A majority of the actions in
the General Plan related to use, buffers, and development standards will be analyzed
and addressed through the comprehensive Zoning Code Update. However, staff will
continue to analyze and propose amendments concurrent with the work taking place to
comprehensively update the Zoning Code in an effort to immediately address pressing
matters. To that end, staff is proposing to create a new Section 41-199.4 (Noxious uses)
to require a CUP for industrial uses that require a permit to handle, store, emit or
discharge regulated compounds, materials, chemicals, or substances from a regional,
state, or federal agency when located within 500 feet of a public park, school, or a
property used or zoned for residential purposes. Additionally, staff proposes to create a
new Section 41-683.6 (Discontinuance of nonconforming noxious use) to require these
types of businesses that do not have a CUP and are nonconforming to comply with
development standards and CUP requirements when a business changes ownership,
requires a new Certificate of Occupancy, or is in violation of any applicable federal,
state, or local regulation for a period of sixty (60) consecutive days, receives three
noncompliant notices, or is in violation for a total of ninety (90) days in a one year
period. As previously indicated, staff is reviewing the 500-foot separation from public
parks, schools, or properties zoned or used for residential purposes as directed by the
Council during the adoption of the urgency ordinance and will return at a future meeting
with a recommendation regarding any further changes.
Professional, Business, and Administrative Office; Counseling Services; Medical Offices
Chapter 41 of the SAMC currently does not provide a definition for “professional,
business, and administrative office,” and zoning districts where the use is permitted
utilize inconsistent terminology. Staff is proposing to create a new Section 41-127.5 to
define “professional, business, and administrative office” and to amend the uses
permitted sections of various zoning districts where the use is permitted to utilize
consistent terminology and provide clarity.
Chapter 41 of the SAMC currently permits “counseling services” in the General
Commercial (C2) zoning district subject to a CUP, but Chapter 41 does not provide a
definition for the use. As such, businesses offering counseling services have attempted
to operate in zoning districts where the use is not permitted under the impression that
the use could be classified as a “professional, business, and administrative office” or a
“medical office.” To provide clarity to prospective businesses, staff is proposing to
create a new Section 41-44.6 to define “counseling services.”
Chapter 41 of the SAMC currently does not provide a definition for “medical office,” and
zoning districts where the use is permitted utilize inconsistent terminology. The lack of a
definition and utilization of inconsistent terminology, staff spends an inordinate amount
of time providing members of the public and prospective business operators clarification

on what business uses are categorized as a medical office and where the use is
permitted. Staff is proposing to create a new Section 41-121 to define “medical office”
and to amend the uses permitted sections of various zoning districts where the use is
permitted to provide consistency in terminology and clarity. The amendments would
also address medical offices operated by government, government-subsidized, not-for-
profit, or philanthropic entities subject to approval of a CUP.
Electrified Security Fences
The State of California approved AB 358 August of 2021. The bill authorized property
owners that meet specified requirements to install and operate electrified fences on their
property to protect and secure commercial or industrial property where a local agency
has adopted an ordinance to permit them. To provide property and business owners
another option to protect their property from theft or vandalism, staff is proposing to
amend Section 41-610.5 (Walls and fences) of the SAMC to permit electric fences in the
Light Industrial (M1) and Heavy Industrial (M2) zoning districts, respectively, on
properties that abut a railroad right-of-way subject to the issuance of a minor exception.
Additionally, staff is proposing a number of development standards such as minimum
distance from residential properties, screening requirements, and accessibility
requirements to ensure community compatibility, aesthetic considerations, and
emergency responder access are addressed and maintained.
Light Processing Facilities
On July 6, 2021, the City Council adopted an Ordinance No. NS-3007 amending
sections 41-472 and 41-472.5 of the SAMC to require a CUP for light processing
facilities in the Light Industrial (M1) zoning district. While sections 41-472 and 41-472.5
were amended to require a CUP, Section 41-1251 (Permits required) in Article XIV. –
Recycling Facilities was not updated to expressly require a CUP for light processing
facilities. Staff is proposing to amend Section 41-1251 to explicitly list and require a
CUP for light processing facilities, consistent with sections 41-472 and 41-472.5.
Landscaping – Synthetic Turf
In response to the extreme drought conditions throughout California, staff is proposing
to amend Section 41-100 and Section 41-609 to include synthetic turf as a permissible
material and to require compliance with landscape guidelines on file with the Planning
and Building Agency. The proposed amendments will allow those properties and
projects not subject to the Water Efficient Landscape Standards the ability to install
synthetic turf as part of the required landscaping and the flexibility needed to adapt
guidelines to address the evolving water crisis.

Paseo: a public place or path designed for walking; promenade.
Pedestrian-friendly: The practice of addressing the needs of people, once
out of their automobiles, through a series of interdependent urban design and
streetscape principles (e.g., wide sidewalks, street trees and shade, on-street
parking, outdoor dining, inviting storefronts, the feeling of being in an ‘outdoor
room’, short crosswalk distances, interconnected and short blocks).
Personal services: Establishments providing non-medical services to
individuals as a primary use. Examples of these uses include:
»Barber, nail salons and beauty shops
»Clothing rental
»Dry cleaning pick-up stores with limited equipment
»Home electronics and small appliance repair
»Locksmiths
»Pet grooming with no boarding
»Shoe repair shops
»Tailors
These uses may also include accessory retail sales of products related to the

blighting and/or deteriorating effect upon surrounding areas and which may
need to be dispersed to minimize their adverse impacts. Examples of these
uses include:
»Laundromats (self-service laundries), which shall comply with the
development and performance standards set forth in Section 41-199
of the SAMC

XVII.I of Chapter 41 of the SAMC.
»Pawnshops
Planter: The layer of the streetscape which accommodates street trees.
Planters may be continuous or individual according to the Thoroughfare and
location within the neighborhood.
Podium: A continuous raised platform supporting a building, or a large block
of two or three stories beneath a multi-layer block of a smaller area.
Porch: see ‘Frontage Types’
Religious facility: see ‘Community Assembly’
Residential development: The addition of new residential units or the
conversion of apartments to condominiums.
Residential unit: Any single-family home; any separate occupancy unit in
a two-family or multifamily dwelling building; any live-work unit; and any
other structure designed for human occupancy which contains a kitchen.
However, this excludes any other building or structure designed or intended to
be occupied or used for business or commercial purposes, such as sleeping
rooms in hotels and motels without kitchens or kitchen facilities.
Rowhouse: See ‘Building Types’
Setback: The area of a lot measured from a lot line to a building facade or
elevation that must be maintained clear of permanent structures excepting
galleries, fences, garden walls, arcades, porches, stoops, balconies, bay
windows, and terraces which are permitted to encroach into the setback
subject to the standards established in Chapter 3 of this Specific Plan.
Shared parking (joint use or park-once policy): An accounting for parking
spaces that are available to more than one function. The requirement is based
on a range of parking demand found in mature, mixed-use centers. The shared
parking ratio varies according to multiple functions in close proximity unlikely
to require the spaces at the same time. This approach to parking uses the
following types of parking in combination to achieve a balanced and distributed
supply of parking: off-street (surface lots and garages), on-street (parallel and
diagonal).
Shopkeeper: A unit that contains space on the ground floor for use and
operation by a retail merchant or tradesman along with residential space on
the upper floor(s) that can be occupied by the same shop operator or a different
resident. The residential and commercial components each have separate,
dedicated entrances. See also ‘Live-Work’
Shopfront: See ‘Frontage Types’
Single family dwelling: A residential building containing one or more habitable
rooms with only one kitchen, designed for occupancy by one independent
household unit with common access to, and common use of all living, kitchen
and bathroom areas.
Stacked Dwellings: See ‘Building Types’
Stoop: See ‘Frontage Types’
Story: A habitable level within a building from finished floor to finished ceiling:
Attics and basements, as defined by the California Building Code (CBC) are
not considered a story for the purposes of determining building height and are
subject to the applicable requirements of this code and the CBC, except for
when the finished floor level directly above a basement or cellar is more than
six feet above grade, such basement or cellar shall be considered a story.
Streetscape: The urban element that provides the major part of the public
realm as well as paved lanes for vehicles. A streetscape is endowed with two
attributes: capacity and context. Capacity is the number of vehicles that can
move safely through a segment within a given time period. It is physically
manifested by the number of lanes and their width, and by the curb radius.
Studio: A workplace of one or more individuals who are engaged in the
production of art, such as fine and fiber arts, lithography, calligraphy,
photography, music, dance and the performing arts. Galleries, not to exceed
50 percent of the floor area, are permitted as an ancillary use. Any regulated
use, as defined on Section 41-191 of the SAMC is not allowed. Uses meeting
the definition of artisan/craft product manufacturing shall be deemed an
artisan/craft product manufacturing use.
Tandem parking stall: Two or more parking spaces arranged one behind the
other.
Thoroughfare: A vehicular way incorporating moving lanes and parking lanes
(except alleys/lanes which have no parking lanes) within a right-of-way.
Traffic calming: A set of techniques which serves to reduce the speed of
traffic. Such strategies include lane-narrowing, on-street parking, chicanes,
yield points, sidewalk bulge-outs, speed bumps, surface variations, mid-block
deflections, and visual clues. Traffic calming is a retrofit technique unnecessary
when thoroughfares are correctly designed for the appropriate speed at initial
construction.
Transit-oriented development: Compact, higher intensity development that
includes uses supportive to transit; i.e., residential uses that increase ridership
and transit efficiency or commercial uses that serve transit users. Its structure
creates nodes at an efficient spacing for mass transit. These nodes are mixed-
use areas limited in extent by walking distance to the transit stop.
Transition line: A horizontal line, the full width of a facade expressed by a
material change or by a continuous horizontal articulation such as a cornice
or a balcony.
Tuck-Under Housing: See ‘Building Types’
Zaguan: A covered pedestrian passage between courts of one to two rooms in
depth and one story in height.

Staff Report
January 17, 2023
TOPIC: Recognized Obligation Payment Schedule 23-24
AGENDA TITLE:
Recognized Obligation Payment Schedule for the period of July 1, 2023 through June
30, 2024
RECOMMENDED ACTION
Adopt a resolution approving the Recognized Obligation Payment Schedule for the
period of July 1, 2023 through June 30, 2024 pursuant to Part 1.85 of Division 24 of the
California Health & Safety Code.
DISCUSSION
In 1973, the City of Santa Ana adopted an ordinance to create a Redevelopment
Agency. Throughout the years, the Redevelopment Agency completed numerous
projects to eliminate blight, spur economic growth, funded construction of affordable
housing projects, and provided infrastructure and community facility improvements
within the defined project areas.
Pursuant to Part 1.85 of Division 24 of the California Health & Safety Code (“Dissolution
Act”), on January 9, 2012 the City Council elected for the City to act as the “Successor
Agency” to the dissolved Community Redevelopment Agency (“Agency”). On February
1, 2012, in accordance with the Dissolution Act and the California Supreme Court’s
decision in California Redevelopment Association v. Matosantos, Case No. S194861,
the Agency was dissolved and the City began to serve as the “Successor Agency.” The
City Council serves as the governing body of the Successor Agency under the
Dissolution Act as amended by AB 1484, AB 471, and SB 107, to administer the
enforceable obligations of the Agency and otherwise unwind the Agency’s affairs.
Effective July 1, 2018, the local Oversight Board to the Successor Agency was
dissolved and the new Orange Countywide Oversight Board (OCOB) was established.
The OCOB now has oversight with respect to the dissolution process, including review
and approval of the Recognized Obligation Payment Schedule (ROPS).

Upon Successor Agency approval, the ROPS will be submitted to the Orange
Countywide Oversight Board for approval at its January 24, 2023 meeting. Upon OCOB
approval, the ROPS will be submitted to the DOF, County, and other appropriate
entities as required by the Dissolution Act by the February 1, 2023 deadline. The ROPS
will also posted on the Successor Agency’s website.
FISCAL IMPACT
The Successor Agency is limited to making only payments listed on the approved
ROPS for each annual period. Administrative expenses are capped at three percent of
the actual property tax distributed for the ROPS in the preceding fiscal year or the
minimum of $250,000 per year. However, the OCOB has been requesting that
successor agencies reduce and minimize the administrative allowance necessary to
oversee the remaining obligations on the ROPS. Therefore, the Successor Agency
estimates the administrative cost allowance for FY 2023-24 will be $125,000.
A FY 23-24 budget will be presented to City Council for approval in the Redevelopment
Obligation Retirement Funds (account no. 67118021-various, 67018843-various) upon
approval of the ROPS by DOF.
