Ordinance No. NS-XXX <br />Page 43 of 49 <br />2 <br />4 <br />5 <br />5 <br />2 <br />implementation actions aimed at reducing harmful pollutants and <br />associated health risks in disadvantaged communities; and <br />10.Numerous policies of the General Plan are inconsistent with the present, <br />irreconcilable land use pattern of the TZC. Specifically, these policies <br />include Policy LU-1.1 (Compatible Uses), Policy LU-2.4 (Cost and <br />Benefit of Development), Policy LU-3.8 (Sensitive Receptors), Policy <br />LU-3.9 (Noxious, Hazardous, Dangerous, and Polluting Uses), Policy <br />LU-3.11 (Air Pollution Buffers), Policy LU-4.3 (Sustainable Land Use <br />Strategies), Policy LU-4.6 (Healthy Living Conditions), Policy CM-3.2 <br />(Healthy Neighborhoods), Policy EP-1.9 (Avoid Conflict of Uses), Policy <br />EP-3.3 (Mitigate Impacts), Policy CN-1.5 (Sensitive Receptor <br />Decisions), Policy CM-.2 (Healthy Neighborhoods), and Policy HE-5.5 <br />(Community Development), which are targeted at correcting past land <br />use planning practices that have placed an unequitable environmental <br />and health burden on certain neighborhoods now termed disadvantaged <br />communities; and <br />11.The industrial overlay zones in the TZC perpetuate past planning <br />practices of locating industrial uses, or other noxious and unwanted <br />uses, in close proximity to communities of color; and <br />12.The Logan neighborhood is the oldest Mexican and Mexican-American <br />neighborhood in Santa Ana and one of the oldest in Orange County, and <br />one of the few places where Mexicans and those of Mexican descent <br />were allowed to buy land due to restrictions and covenants based on <br />race during the first half of the 20th century; and <br />13.The construction of Santa Ana (I-5) Freeway through Santa Ana in the <br />1950s resulted in many families being displaced through the demolition <br />of single-family homes in the northeastern portion of the Logan <br />neighborhood; and <br />14.In the 1970s, a proposed expansion of an arterial highway along Civic <br />Center Avenue would have demolished a significant portion, if not all, of <br />the Logan neighborhood; and <br />15.The Logan and Lacy neighborhoods are within the second and third <br />highest scored census tracts in Santa Ana, each with a composite score <br />of 90 percent or greater, ranking in the 90th percentile or greater of <br />census tracts in the State, and identified as “disadvantaged <br />communities” by the Office of Environmental Health Hazard Assessment <br />(OEHHA) in its CalEnviroScreen model; and <br />16.Assembly Bill (AB) 686 requires local jurisdictions to take deliberate <br />actions to explicitly address, combat, and relieve disparities to <br />disadvantaged communities, such as Logan and Lacy neighborhoods, <br />resulting from past patterns of segregation, disinvestment, and planning <br />practices; and
