132 <br /> <br /> E. In order to prevent the frustration of said studies and the implementation <br />thereof, the public interest, health, safety and welfare require the immediate enactment <br />of this ordinance. The absence of this ordinance would create a serious threat to the <br />orderly and effective implementation of any Code amendments, general plan <br />amendments or specific plan amendments which may be adopted by the City as a result <br />of the studies, in that the establishment of new banquet facilities may be in conflict with <br />or frustrate the contemplated updates and revisions to the Code, general plan or <br />specific plans. Moreover, permitting such banquet facilities to be established during <br />said studies and implementation would create impacts on the public health, safety and <br />welfare that the City Council, in adopting this ordinance, has found to be unacceptable. <br /> <br /> F. Since the adoption of the existing emergency ordinance, City staff has <br />prepared a draft proposed permanent ordinance amending the code to allow banquet <br />facilities as a conditionally permitted use in the City. The draft proposed permanent <br />ordinance was reviewed by the Planning Commission at its August 14, 2000 meeting. <br /> <br /> G. Without the extension of the emergency ordinance, properties in the City <br />could quickly receive entitlements to establish banquet facilities despite the fact that City <br />Council has determined that the Code is in need of updating, has directed that a study <br />be done to recommend new standards and that a draft permanent ordinance revising <br />Code sections to address concerns created by banquet facilities has been prepared. <br /> <br /> H. The City Council has considered all of the written and oral testimony <br />offered concerning whether to adopt this ordinance extending the moratorium on the <br />establishment of new banquet facilities in the City. <br /> <br /> I. The Request For Council Action for this Ordinance shall, by this reference <br />be incorporated herein, and together with this Ordinance and any amendments or <br />supplementals constitute the necessary findings for this Ordinance. <br /> <br /> J. The City Council finds, determines and declares that the current and <br />immediate threat to the public health, safety and welfare of the City and its citizens <br />necessitates the immediate enactment of the ordinance. The facts constituting such an <br />urgency are set forth in paragraphs A-I, inclusive of this ordinance. <br /> <br />SECTION 2: Prohibition <br /> <br /> A. No new banquet facility, as a primary use, shall be established or <br />permitted in the City of Santa Ana. <br /> <br /> B. No new banquet facility, as an ancillary use, shall be established or <br />permitted in the City of Santa Ana, provided however, new banquet facilities as an <br />ancillary use shall be permitted in the City of Santa Ana in conjunction with the following <br />primary uses: <br /> <br />Ordinance No. NS-2441 <br />Page 2 of 4 <br /> <br /> <br />
