General Plan Amendment No. 2004-06, came before the City Council of the City of Santa Ana for a public hearing July 6, 2004. The Planning Commission of the City of Santa Ana held a duly noticed public hearing on June 28, 2004, on General Plan Amendment No. 2004- 06, and recommended that the City Council adopt a resolution approving General Plan Amendment No. 2004-06. General Plan Amendment No. 2003-06 has been filed with the City of Santa Ana to amend the Circulation Element of the General Plan Land to modify language related to the Implementation Program for Goal 6 of said element. 1. Goal 6 states: "Protect local streets from through traffic to preserve neighborhood character". Page A-27 of the Circulation Element contains the Implementation Program for that goal and states: "Neighborhood Traffic Management Program- In residential areas that experience significant commuter traffic on local streets, the City conducts traffic impact assessment and the neighborhood develops a traffic plan which includes traffic diverters or other mechanisms to reduce "cut- through" traffic. Any improvements installed to mitigate commuter traffic are subject to approval by a vote of the residents in the affected area." 2. 3. The Amendment proposes to make technical modification to the language of the implementation program so as to better conform it to State law. 4. The Amendment is consistent with the balance of the General Plan, and the various elements thereof. Resolution No. 2004-053 Page 1 of4
