<br />54 Suggested Action Change: Action LU-4.7: Construction Improvements -
<br />Identify best practices and communication tools to reduce soil contamination
<br />and monitor mitigation measures and oversight of private and public
<br />construction improvements to protect the health and safety of workers, the
<br />community, and the soil, with focus on environmental justice areas.
<br />N/A The suggested edits pertaining to soil contamination and worker safety are not germane to the
<br />nature of this policy. Soil issues are exhaustively covered in draft policies and actions of the
<br />Plan (example actions include S-2.4, LU-3.6, LU-3.17, LU-3.18, LU-3.19, LU-3.20, LU-3.21, LU-
<br />3.22, LU-3.24, LU-3.26, LU-3.29, and CM-3.8) and worker safety is covered and enforced by
<br />Cal/OSHA. The Policy was specifically drafted to ensure identification and implementation of
<br />best construction practices as a component of the CEQA review and implementation process.

<br />55 Suggested Action Change: Action HP-1.5: Historic Design Standards - Update
<br />historic design standards for preserving historic setting and context,
<br />incorporating best practices related to landscape design, front yard fences,
<br />other property features, and remediation of lead-based paint and lead-
<br />contaminated soil.
<br />N/A Action HP-1.5 is strictly related to design. While lead contamination is an important issue
<br />facing Santa Ana communities, it is not germane to this actions and is already being addressed
<br />through other policies and actions such as action LU-3.6 Lead Paint Abatement and action S-
<br />2.4 Lead Contamination.

<br />56 Suggested Action Change: Action HP-1.6: Historic Resources Survey - Survey
<br />all City-owned historic resources to identify condition, maintenance and
<br />repair needs, and sources of funding for upgrades. Consult with local
<br />indigenous tribes (Juaneño/Acjachemen and Gabrieleño/Tongva) to identify
<br />sites of cultural, spiritual, and/or historical significance to their tribes, and
<br />work with them to preserve and/or restore these sites. Work with local tribes
<br />to hear and implement proposals to ensure continued indigenous access and
<br />custodianship of these sites.
<br />Recommended New Action: HP-2.7: Native American Cultural Significance. Consult with affiliated
<br />tribes listed with the California Native American Heritage Commission to identify sites of cultural,
<br />spiritual, and/or historical significance to their tribes, and work with them to preserve, restore or
<br />celebrate these sites, where feasible.

<br />58 Suggested Action Change: Action HP-1.7: Oral History - Seek funding to
<br />reinstate local oral history program to capture Santa Ana’s historic and
<br />cultural narrative. Work with local tribes (Juaneño/Acjachemen and
<br />Gabrieleño/Tongva) to contribute knowledge on indigenous history (pre-
<br />colonization to present) to the oral history program.
<br />N/A Action HP-1.7 is meant to include all historic and cultural histories regardless of group
<br />affiliation, which includes indigenous tribes. Incorporating suggested language will narrow the
<br />focus of the action and not be as inclusive as intended.
