2000-062 modifies administration of an existing parking district program by allowing a <br />single permit parking petition to be considered for multiple, contiguous residential blocks <br />(rather than a separate permit parking petition for each individual block). Thus, no direct <br />or indirect physical changes in the environment will result and accordingly, the proposed <br />resolution is not a "project" subject to CEQA. (CEQA Guidelines, § 15060(c)(2)-(3).) <br />In the alternative, even if the proposed resolution is a project subject to CEQA, <br />no further environmental review is required. Section 15162 of the CEQA Guidelines <br />requires subsequent EIRs and Negative Declarations, following certification of a <br />previous EIR, only when one of three triggering conditions exists: (1) substantial <br />changes are proposed in the project that will require major revisions of the EIR, (2) <br />substantial changes occur in circumstances under which the project is being undertaken <br />that will require major revisions in the EIR, or (3) new information of substantial <br />importance to the project that was not known and could not have been known when the <br />EIR was certified as complete becomes available, and this condition (1, 2, and/or 3) <br />also would lead to new or more significant impacts. (See also Pub. Resources Code, § <br />21166.) <br />In April 2022, the City certified the GPU Final PER (SCH No. 2020029087) and <br />adopted the GPU. As previously discussed, the GPU Final PEIR is a Program <br />Environmental Impact Report (PEIR) that examines the existing environment and the <br />total scope of environmental effects that would occur as a result of buildout of the GPU <br />land uses. <br />The proposed resolution falls within the scope of the General Plan Update <br />evaluated in the PEIR because it implements the goals and policies pertaining to permit <br />parking programs and parking impacts identified in the General Plan Update. The <br />proposed resolution therefore does not trigger any of the conditions identified in Section <br />15162 of the CEQA Guidelines and summarized above. Approval of the proposed <br />resolution will not result in new or more severe impacts requiring additional <br />environmental review of the approval action. <br />Section 3. Each and every Section of the aforementioned Resolutions <br />pertaining to the definition of a Block shall be amended to provide that: The parking <br />restrictions imposed pursuant to Article XI of Chapter 36 of the Santa Ana Municipal <br />Code shall apply to any block within the Parking Districts and such block may be <br />comprised of contiguous street segments with the Parking District for the purposes of <br />establishing uniform parking restrictions along multiple street segments. Parking <br />restrictions expressly referenced in this Resolution may be imposed only after a petition <br />signed by the owners of sixty-six percent (66%) or more of the residential lots abutting <br />such block have filed a petition with the Executive Director of the Public Works Agency <br />expressing their desire for such parking restrictions. <br />Section 4. This Resolution shall take effect immediately upon its adoption. <br />Resolution No. 2024-056 <br />Page 3 of 4 <br />
