Ten-Day Report Describing Measures Taken to Alleviate the Condition which Led to the <br />Adoption of Urgency Interim Ordinance No. NS-3063 (Transit Zoning Code Moratorium) <br />May 7, 2024 <br />Page 4 <br />4 <br />2 <br />4 <br />4 <br />response to the City’s request, SCAQMD clarified the need to process the records <br />request by larger geographic areas, not specifically matching the boundaries of the <br />TZC. When reports become available to the City, additional time will be needed for City <br />staff to carefully review and analyze other internal data to understand all activities <br />(internal and external) and affected industrial businesses. <br />Comprehensive Zoning Code Update and Neighborhood Engagement <br />City staff continues to work with Project Consultant Moore, Iacofano, Goltsman, Inc. (MIG) <br />to ensure the City’s Zoning Code and General Plan are consistent and, to maintain <br />compliance with state law, comprehensive amendments to the Zoning Code are required. <br />MIG and City staff have already conducted extensive community outreach, stakeholder <br />interviews, and reviews of existing zoning-related codes and policies in Santa Ana. These <br />early efforts have indicated that the irreconcilable land use conflicts and land use <br />inconsistencies in the TZC area are among the top, most pressing topics that must be <br />addressed as part of the comprehensive Zoning Code Update process in order to protect <br />the health, safety, and welfare of the most vulnerable communities that face the impacts <br />of the land use conflicts within the TZC area. <br />City staff from the Neighborhood Initiatives and Environmental Services (NIES) section <br />of the Planning Division will continue to coordinate with City departments, external <br />regulatory agencies, and staff from other federal and state agencies to identify <br />additional resources available to enhance deeper awareness of pollution exposure in <br />disadvantaged communities, long-term health effects, and immediate solutions. The <br />NIES team has held meetings and discussions with staff from the Centers for Disease <br />Control and Prevention/Agency for Toxic Substances and Disease Registry and CalEPA <br />Environmental Justice Team to identify opportunities for linking environmental justice <br />(EJ) resources and support to the Logan and Lacy neighborhoods. In addition, the NIES <br />team has been working with the residents selected to represent the City’s EJ Clusters to <br />complete the formation of the EJ Action Committee, the community-led EJ advocacy <br />group, to guide the prioritization and resource investments to implement the City’s <br />General Plan EJ Policies and Implementation Actions. <br />Next Steps <br />Staff implements the 45-day moratorium established by Urgency Interim Ordinance No. <br />NS-3063 through ongoing interagency coordination. Moreover, staff will continue to <br />analyze and prepare an evaluation of industrial business uses within the TZC, which will <br />enable staff to generate recommendations to the Planning Commission and City <br />Council to determine whether an extension of the 45-day moratorium is recommended. <br />If an extension is recommended, it would be placed on the May 21, 2024 City Council <br />agenda as a public hearing item, which is prior to the June 1 expiration date.
