practices that have placed an unequitable environmental and <br />health burden on certain neighborhoods now termed <br />disadvantaged communities; and <br />The industrial overlay zones in the TZC perpetuate past <br />planning practices of locating industrial uses, or other noxious <br />and unwanted uses, in close proximity to communities of color; <br />and <br />The Logan neighborhood is the oldest Mexican and Mexican - <br />American neighborhood in Santa Ana and one of the oldest in <br />Orange County, and one of the few places where Mexicans and <br />those of Mexican descent were allowed to buy land due to <br />restrictions and covenants based on race during the first half of <br />the 20th century; and <br />The construction of Santa Ana (1-5) Freeway through Santa Ana <br />in the 1950s resulted in a number of families being displaced <br />through the demolition of single-family homes in the <br />northeastern portion of the Logan neighborhood; and <br />In the 1970s a proposed expansion of an arterial highway along <br />Civic Center Avenue would have demolished a significant <br />portion, if not all, of the Logan neighborhood; and <br />The Logan and Lacy neighborhoods are within the second and <br />third highest scored census tracts in Santa Ana, each with a <br />composite score of 90 percent or greater, ranking in the 90th <br />percentile or greater of census tracts in the State, and identified <br />as "disadvantaged communities" by the Office of Environmental <br />Health Hazard Assessment (OEHHA) in its CalEnviroScreen <br />model; and <br />Assembly Bill (AB) 686 requires local jurisdictions to take <br />deliberate actions to explicitly address, combat, and relieve <br />disparities to disadvantaged communities, such as Logan and <br />Lacy neighborhoods, resulting from past patterns of <br />segregation, disinvestment, and planning practices; and <br />The updated land use plan in the Land Use Element of the <br />General Plan does not designate any properties within the TZC, <br />including the Logan or Lacy neighborhoods, as industrial; rather, <br />are designated as varying intensities of District Center or Urban <br />Neighborhood land use designations —both of which are <br />inconsistent with industrial uses; and <br />Ordinance No. NS-3064 <br />Page 4 of 11 <br />
