F. General Plan Amendment No. 2004-03 has been filed with the City of <br />Santa Ana to adopt the Airport Environs Element and to amend the Land <br />Use Element and Noise element of the General Plan of the City of Santa <br />Ana. <br />G. The Council finds that the City's general plan is designed, as it must be, to <br />accommodate a wide range of competing interests -including those of <br />developers, neighborhoods and homeowners, prospective homebuyers, <br />environmentalists, current and prospective business owners, jobseekers, <br />taxpayers, and providers and recipients of all types of city-provided <br />services -and to present a clear and comprehensive set of principles to <br />guide development decisions. The City's general plan sets forth these <br />guiding principles. Once in place, it is the province of this Council to <br />examine the specifics of a proposed project to determine whether it would <br />be in harmony with the policies stated in the general plan. <br />H. The City Council has weighed and balanced the general plan's policies, <br />both new and old, and has determined that based upon this balancing that <br />General Plan Amendment No. 2004-03 is consistent with the purpose of <br />the general plan. <br />Section 2. The City Council has reviewed and considered the information <br />contained in the initial study and the negative declaration for Environmental Review <br />No. 2004-136 prepared with respect to this Project. It is determined that, as required <br />pursuant to the California Environmental Quality Act ("CEQA") and the State CEQA <br />Guidelines, a negative declaration adequately addresses the expected environmental <br />impacts of this Project. On the basis of this review, the City Council finds that there is no <br />evidence from which it can be fairly argued that the project will have a significant adverse <br />effect on the environment. The City Council hereby certifies and approves the negative <br />declaration and directs that the Notice of Determination be prepared and filed with the <br />County Clerk of the County of Orange in the manner required by law. <br />Section 3. The City Council hereby, approves General Plan Amendment No. <br />2004-03. <br />A. The Airport Environs Element is attached hereto as Exhibit A and incorporated <br />by this reference as though fully set forth herein. <br />B. The amendment to the Land Use Element is attached here to as Exhibit B <br />and incorporated by this reference as though fully set forth herein. <br />C. The amendment to the Noise Element is attached here to as Exhibit C and <br />incorporated by this reference as though fully set forth herein. <br />The City Council has weighed and balanced the general plan's policies, both new <br />and old, and has determined that based upon this balancing that General Plan <br />Resolution No. 2009-XXX <br />Page 2 of 4 <br />75C-65 <br />
