How does the TZC compare to the West Santa Ana Boulevard Focus Area? The TZC area and <br />West Santa Ana Boulevard Focus Area have fundamentally different General Plan land use <br />designations and regulatory frameworks. The TZC was established in 2010 with mixed-use <br />General Plan designations throughout, but retained an Industrial Overlay Zone (I-OZ) that allowed <br />industrial uses to continue, creating inconsistencies. The West Santa Ana Boulevard Focus Area <br />has its own distinct General Plan designations and does not have an industrial overlay. The <br />proposed ordinance would remove the TZC's Industrial Overlay Zone, bringing its zoning into <br />alignment with its mixed-use General Plan designations and supporting the area's intended <br />transit-oriented, pedestrian-friendly development pattern. <br />36. Will this process be applied to other parts of the City? The proposed ordinance amendments <br />will only affect the area zoned as the Transit Zoning Code (SD-84). The City is also underway with <br />a comprehensive Zoning Code Update, which is a separate and ongoing effort to update and <br />modernize the City’s Zoning Code to reflect the goals and values of the General Plan Update from <br />2022. <br />37. What type of environmental document pursuant to the California Environmental Quality <br />Act (CEQA) will be prepared for this project? The City, as the Lead Agency, has determined that <br />the proposed ordinance and map amendment are subject to CEQA guidelines and regulations <br />(Public Resources Code (PRC) Sections 21000-21177). An Addendum to the Transit Zoning Code <br />Environmental Impact Report (EIR) (State Clearing House (SCH) No. 2006071100) has been <br />prepared by the City to evaluate the impacts of the proposed ordinance amendments. <br />
