Ordinance No. NS-XXX <br />Page 42 of 49 <br />2 <br />4 <br />5 <br />5 <br />2 <br />2. Upon the initial adoption of the TZC in 2010, the General Plan of the City <br />of Santa Ana was updated with new land use designations for the areas <br />covered by the TZC to allow for new, mixed-use residential and <br />commercial communities; and <br />3. The goals of the TZC are to provide a transit-supportive, pedestrian- <br />oriented development framework to support the addition of new, and <br />enhancement of existing communities through, transit infrastructure; to <br />preserve and reinforce the existing character and pedestrian nature of <br />the City by strengthening urban form through improved development <br />and design standards; to encourage alternative modes of transportation; <br />to provide zoning for the integration of new infill development into <br />existing neighborhoods; to provide for a range of housing options; and <br />to allow for the reuse of existing structures; and <br />4. Industrial uses were established within the Logan and Lacy <br />neighborhoods in close proximity to sensitive land uses such as <br />residences and schools prior to the adoption of the TZC, as far back as <br />the late 19th century, predating modern zoning practices that take into <br />account irreconcilable land use conflicts among variegated land uses; <br />and <br />5. The TZC provides new mixed-use zoning for properties contained within <br />its boundary while creating industrial overlay zones allowing properties <br />being used as industrial uses at the time of its adoption to continue to <br />be governed by industrial zoning districts until such time that properties <br />were developed or improved to the mixed-use zones allowed by the <br />TZC; and <br />6. Senate Bill (SB) 1000 went into effect in 2018, requiring local <br />governments to identify environmental justice communities, called <br />“disadvantaged communities”, in their jurisdictions and address <br />environmental justice in their general plans through facilitating <br />transparency and public engagement in the planning and decision- <br />making processes, reducing harmful pollutants and the associated <br />health risks in disadvantaged communities, and promoting equitable <br />access to health-inducing benefits such as healthy housing options; and <br />7. The City of Santa Ana completed a comprehensive update of its General <br />Plan in April 2022; and <br />8. The Office of the Attorney General of the State of California was actively <br />involved in ensuring Santa Ana’s General Plan update complied with all <br />aspects of SB 1000 prior to its adoption; and <br />9. As required by SB 1000, update of the General Plan and its associated <br />land use plan identified and addressed long standing environmental <br />justice issues throughout all its elements, which include 77
