Zoning Ordinance Amendment No. 2011-01 September 26, 2011 Page 9 held with the Planning Commission to discuss the proposed ordinance. Notices were sent to all of the Advisory Committee members notifying them of the study session. At that meeting, two members spoke on the subject, Caesar Covarrubias, Kennedy Commission and Mike Tardif, property owner within the Industrial Overlay of the Transit Zone. Staff also provided a presentation to the Community Redevelopment and Housing Commission on April 5, 2011. Public notification included a mailing list of over 900 property owners and interested parties. This mailing list was used to send notices for the public hearing held on March 28th and this public hearing. This mailing list included: Metro East property owners, Transit Zoning Code Industrial Overlay property owners, Harbor Transit Corridor Plan property owners, First and Fifth Streets Transit Corridor sites property owners, Town and Country Manor property owners, MacArthur Place property owners, City Place property owners and property owners within Harbor Boulevard Corridor project area. Based upon feedback from several property owners regarding the format of the March 28th notice, which was postcard size, staff modified the format for this and all future mailed notifications to a full-page format. This format also conforms to that used by the City Clerk. Spanish and Vietnamese language contact information was also included on these notices. Staff also contacted each of those in attendance at the March 28th public hearing by phone to answer any questions and notify them of this meeting. Notices, a full copy of the draft ordinance and any other handouts or PowerPoint presentations were also posted on the City's website and, where e-mail addresses were provided, staff sent messages to those on the electronic notification list. Notice of this public hearing also was posted on the Planning and Building Agency's Facebook page. A notice was published in the Orange County Reporter advertising the Planning Commission public hearing and notices were mailed to those requesting notification of ordinance amendment proposals, such as Santa Ana Unified School District and Edison Real Estate Operations. At the time of publishing this report, a total of nine telephone inquiries were received. The general tone of the inquiries included understanding of the proposed ordinance, possible effect on their current property and why they had received the notice. 75B-11
