The Citywide Zoning Key and individual SDM <br />pages have been redesigned to more efficiently integrate Geographic Information System (GIS) <br />technology and consistency (Exhibit 1). <br />Proiect Description <br />Since 1952, the Santa Ana Municipal Code (SAMC) Chapter 41 has referenced criteria for the use <br />and amendment to Zoning Sectional District Maps. Amendment Application No. 2016 -04 proposes <br />to modify the Sectional District Maps citywide for the purpose of reformatting the map, associated <br />legend, and page layout. The replacement of Sectional District Maps does not include any <br />changes to zoning boundaries or designations for individual properties. The new SDM page layout <br />will facilitate the efficient production of zoning maps through the use of Geographic Information <br />System (GIS) technology. In addition, the SDM map legend has been modified to more accurately <br />reflect the zoning districts and related designations. <br />CEQA Analysis <br />In accordance with the California Environmental Quality Act, the proposed project is exempt from <br />further review pursuant to Section 15061 (b)(3), as there is no potential for causing a significant <br />impact on the environment due to the adoption of the ordinance. Categorical Exemption <br />Environmental Review No. 2016 -96 will be filed for this project. <br />EXHIBIT A <br />75B -3 <br />
