The City Council of the City of Santa Ana hereby finds, determines <br />and declares as follows: <br />A. General Plan Amendment No. 2011-01 has been initiated by the City of <br />Santa Ana to amend the General Plan Circulation Element Bikeway Master <br />Plan to allow a class II (on road) bike lane on Memory Lane between Bristol <br />Street and Flower Street, and Flower Street between Memory Lane and <br />Fisher Park, and a Class I (off road) bike path on Bear Street between <br />Segerstrom Avenue and MacArthur Boulevard. <br />B. On February 28, 2011, the Planning Commission held a duly noticed <br />public hearing and voted to recommend that the City Council adopt a <br />resolution approving General Plan Amendment No. 2011-01. <br />C. On March 21, 2011, the City Council of the City of Santa Ana held a duly <br />noticed public hearing and at that time considered all testimony, written <br />and oral. <br />D. The Council finds that General Plan Amendment No. 2011-01 is consistent <br />with the General Plan, including, but not limited to, its policies and goals to <br />promote sustainability, quality development, and encourage a variety of <br />transportation alternatives to serve the Santa Ana community. <br />E. 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 />Resolution No. 2011-018 <br />Page 1 of 3
