The City Council of the City of Santa Ana hereby finds, determines and declares as follows: A. The City of Santa Ana (City) is requesting approval of General Plan Amendment No. 2018-04 to incorporate into the City's various General Plan elements a 24.78-acre unincorporated area of land that is currently located within the County of Orange. B. Over the past several months, the County has been working with the developer of a proposed project at the northeast corner of Seventeenth Street and Tustin Avenue. This development has been unable to move forward due to the inability to connect to the City's sewer system as they are currently located outside the City boundaries. C. On June 5, 2018, the City Council of the City of Santa Ana held a duly noticed public hearing to consider the annexation of the 24.78-acre County island generally located at the northeast corner of Seventeenth Street and Tustin Avenue. At this hearing, the Council directed staff to initiate the process to annex the County island and continue discussions with the County and the Orange County Local Agency Formation Commission (LAFCO) regarding the annexation. D. On September 14, 2018, the City, County of Orange, and the Orange County Local Agency Formation Commission held a duly noticed community workshop regarding the proposed annexation to obtain community input. E. On December 10, 2018, the Planning Commission held a duly noticed public hearing and voted to recommend that the City Council adopt a resolution approving General Plan Amendment No. 2018-04. F. On September 3, 2019, the City Council of the City of Santa Ana held a duly noticed public hearing to consider all testimony, written and oral, related to General Plan Amendment No. 2018-04 for the Seventeenth and Tustin annexation project, at which time all persons wishing to testify were heard, Resolution No. 2019-079 Page 1 of 5 the project was fully considered, and all other legal prerequisites to the adoption of this Resolution occurred. G. Pursuant to the California Environmental Quality Act (Pub. Res. Code sec. 21000 et seq.; "CEQA"), and the State CEQA Guidelines, the City has determined that a Categorical Exemption will be filed for the proposed project. In conjunction with the City's CEQA determination regarding the annexation, the County of Orange has completed a negative declaration (ND) for the two developments. The ND will identify any potential impacts to the environment and identify mitigation measures to reduce or eliminate the impacts. The lead agency for the ND is the County of Orange. H. General Plan Amendment No. 2018-04 has been filed to amend the General Plan to change the land use designation of certain parcels located in the Seventeenth and Tustin County island boundaries. The proposed land use designations will be consistent with the current land uses and proposed pre - zoning designations of the annexation project area. The amendments will pre- designate properties located in the annexation area as Low -Density Residential (LR-7), Medium -Density Residential (MR-15), or General Commercial (GC) as shown on Exhibit 1, attached hereto and incorporated herein by reference. I. The City Council has weighed and balanced the General Plan's policies, both old and new, and has determined that based upon this balancing that General Plan Amendment No. 2018-04 is consistent with the purpose of the General Plan. Section 2. CEQA Compliance. In accordance with the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) and the State CEQA Guidelines, a categorical exemption will be filed for this project pursuant to section 15319. This Class 19 exemption applies to projects involving annexation of existing facilities and lots for exempt facilities such as public and private structures developed to the density allowed by the pre -zoning of the City. The proposed annexation area is developed to the density allowed by the current zoning or pre -zoning, with the extension of utility services having the capacity to serve only the existing facilities. More specifically, the proposed annexation will consist of the 24.78-acre parcels of land in its entirety that includes private residential and commercial structures as well as three vacant parcels of land that are located at the southwest section of the annexation area. As the annexation area is developed to the density allowed by both the current zoning of the County and the pre -zoning designations proposed by the City, and no new utility services are proposed for the existing structures within the annexation area as part of this project, the Class 19 exemption is applicable to this project. The City Council has, as a result of its consideration and the evidence presented at the hearings on this matter, determined that, as required pursuant to CEQA, a categorical exemption adequately addresses the expected environmental impacts of this project. On the basis of this review, the City Council finds that there is no evidence from which it can be fairly argued that the project will have a significant adverse effect on the environment therefore, it is categorically exempt from the requirement for the preparation of environmental documents. Based Resolution No. 2019-079 Page 2 of 5 on this analysis, a Notice of Exemption for Environmental Review No. 2018-89 will be filed for this project. Section 3. Approvals. The City Council of the City of Santa Ana after conducting the public hearing hereby approves General Plan Amendment No. 2018-04. The amendments to the Land Use Element are attached hereto as Exhibit 2 and incorporated herein by this reference as though fully set forth herein. This decision is based upon the evidence submitted at the above said hearing, which includes, but is not limited to: the Request for Council Action dated September 3, 2019 and exhibits attached thereto; and the public testimony, written and oral, all of which are incorporated herein by this reference. Section 4. This Resolution shall not be effective unless and until Ordinance No. NS-2974 (AA No. 2018-07) become effective. If said ordinance is for any reason held to be invalid or unconstitutional by the decision of any court of competent jurisdiction, or otherwise does not go into effect for any reason, then this resolution shall be null and void and have no further force and effect. Section 5. This Resolution shall not be effective unless and until the Orange County Local Agency Formation Commission (LAFCO) passes a resolution adopting the annexation of the County island. If the resolution is for any reason held to be invalid or unconstitutional by the decision of any court of competent jurisdiction, or otherwise does not go into effect for any reason, then this Resolution shall be null and void and have no further force and effect.

Since 1980, the number of persons living in the City grew by more than 73 percent. During this period of substantial population growth, the number of housing units remained relatively stable. Other notable demographic changes have occurred as well. The City's population is getting older. The median age of the population in 1980 was 26.2 years. By 2000, it had increased to 26.5 years compared to a median age of 33.3 years for the County overall. REGIONAL CONTEXT The City of Santa Ana is located approximately 30 miles southeast of downtown Los Angeles, and 10 miles northeast of Newport Beach in the west -central section of Orange County. Santa Ana is bordered by the City of Orange, and trrr. eerparatec areas ef9r�rrgeEetmty�eft-f�tertert�t-1the City of Tustin on the east; the cities of Irvine and Costa Mesa on the south,; and the cities of Fountain Valley and Garden Grove on the west. Freeway access to the City of Santa Ana is provided by the Garden Grove Freeway (SR-22) and the Orange Freeway (SR-57) on the north, the Santa Ana Freeway (I-5) on the northeast, the Costa Mesa Freeway (SR-55) on the east, the San Diego Freeway (I-405) on the south. REGIONAL TRENDS Santa Ana is the largest City in Orange County in terms of population (9 percent of the County population) and fourth in terms of land area (27.3 square miles). Approximately 58 percent of the City's land area is developed with residential uses. Commercial areas account for approximately 15 percent of the City's total land area, and industrial uses cover approximately 14 percent. The City's January 2009 population is estimated by the California Department of Finance to be 355,662 persons. The 2009 housing stock consists of 75,856 dwelling units and the average household size is 4.7 persons per household. The City experienced rapid population growth from 1970 through 1990. The City's population in 1970 was 155,710 persons. By 1990, the population had increased to 293,742 persons, representing an increase of 89 percent, while the County's population increased by only 25 percent. Moreover, during this period of intensive population growth, the number of housing units in the City only grew by approximately 12 percent. The City's growth trends since 1990 have been more modest and is expected to continue at approximately one percent per year through the year 2010. The City's housing production is likewise expected to continue to be stable. There has been little growth in housing over the last several years; however, additional infill housing is anticipated through 2015 particularly in the City's District Centers. With even modest population growth at the current rate of housing production, the City is likely to continue to experience a rise in average household size.

Residential development is also permitted in two other designations: District Center and Urban Neighborhood. The Santa Ana Land Use Plan includes the following residential land use designations: The Low Density Residential (LR-7) designation applies to those areas of the City which are developed with lower density residential land uses. The allowable maximum development intensity is 7 units per acre. Development in this category is characterized primarily by single-family homes. This designation applies to a large proportion of the City (6.,474.46,4-5 : acres) representing 47 percent of the City's total land area. The Low -Medium Density Residential (LMR-11) designation applies to those sections of the City which are developed with residential uses at permitted densities of up to 1 1 units per acre. The land area included in this designation is approximately 421.6420.6 acres. The great majorityof the land designated as Low -Medium Density Residential is located in the westerly portion of the City, north and south of First Street. Properties with this designation are typically characterized by mobile home parks, a mixture of duplexes and single family residences, or small lot subdivisions. The Medium Density Residential (MR-15) designation applies to those sections of the City which are developed with residential uses at densities of up to 15 units per acre. Development in this designation is characterized by duplexes, apartments, or a combination of both. A total of 362.3 acres is designated as Medium Density Residential. The designation applies to areas located in the vicinity of downtown, areas north and south of MacArthur Boulevard, and in other areas where there are established multiple -family development projects. CITY OF SANTA ANA GENERAL PLAN LAND USE ELEMENT Commercial The Land Use Plan identifies three land use designations that encourage a variety of office, retail and commercial enterprises to serve the community. ■ The Professional/Administrative Office (PAO) designation applies to those areas where professional and/or administrative offices are predominant, or where such development is being encouraged. Land included in this designation is found primarily near the Civic Center, and along the First Street and Tustin Avenue Corridors in close proximity to freeways. There are other smaller PAO areas in the City such as along North Broadway and along portions of east and west Seventeenth Street. A total of 859.2855.3 acres is included in this land use designation. The floor area ratio intensity standard applicable to this land use designation ranges from 0.5 to 1.0. The Professional and Administrative Office areas are intended to provide a unique environment for office development in those areas of the City where office uses are the predominant land use. The purpose for maintaining and supporting these areas exclusively for office and office -related uses is to encourage major employment centers at locations which significantly lessen the impact to the City's local street system. The First Streeaustin Avenue office corridor between the Santa Ana (I-5) and Costa Mesa (SR-55) Freeways serves this purpose. In addition, the orderly, well -maintained quality of existing development supports a continuation of these areas as functional office/employment centers. The Professional and Administrative Office designation includes a range of floor area ratios to differentiate development intensity and character in relation to adjacent land uses. The areas with a FAR of 0.5 are not major office centers, but rather have an established character of lower intensity garden office and professional service uses. These areas are typically adjacent to low density residential neighborhoods, or are converted residential office uses. Office development along East Fourth Street, between Grand Avenue and the Santa Ana Freeway, is typical of this low-rise office character. The PAO area located adjacent to the Civic Center contains a range of office development intensity which supports the City's functional role as the government center of the County. The types of uses typically located in the PAO district include the following: ■ Professional and administrative offices/office parks; ■ Service activities such as copy centers, courier services, travel agencies, and restaurants when such uses are an integral component of a planned office development; and ■ Professional uses such as accountants, attorneys, doctors, engineers, and insurance brokers. A-20 CITY OF SANTA ANA GENERAL PLAN LAND USE ELEMENT ■ The General Commercial (GC) district applies to commercial corridors in Santa Ana including those located along Main Street, Seventeenth Street, Harbor Boulevard, and other major arterial roadways in the City. The intensity standard applicable to this designation is a floor area ratio of0.5 -1.0, though most General Commercial districts have a FAR of 0.5. A total of 862.2 858.2 acres of land is included in this designation. General Commercial districts are key components in the economic development of the City. They provide highly visible and accessible commercial development along the City's arterial transportation corridors. In addition, General Commercial land uses provide important neighborhood facilities and services, including shopping, recreation, cultural and entertainment activities, employment, and education. The districts also provide support facilities and services for industrial areas including office and retail, restaurants and various other services. The General Commercial development standards are based upon the character and intensity of development, as well as the degree of access and market demand for these properties. The relationships to adjacent land uses, are also considered. Uses typically located in this district are: ■ Business and professional offices; ■ Retail and service establishments; ■ Recreational, cultural, and entertainment uses; and ■ Vocational schools. General Commercial Districts have a floor area ratio of0.5 with the exception of the Mid -town area which has an floor area ratio of up to 1.0. ■ One Broadway Plaza District Center is a separate land use designation as it has an F.A.R. of 2.9, which exceeds the typical District Center intensity limit. Additionally, it does not include a residential component. One Broadway Plaza is envisioned as a landmark professional office complex that will be a focal point in the Downtown Redevelopment area serving the Civic Center complex, Downtown, and Midtown urban areas. The City's District Centers and major development areas are shown in Exhibit A-5. CITY OF SANTA ANA GENERAL PLAN A-21 LAND USE ELEMENT interagency Development Review Committee (DRC) to ensure consistent and comprehensive application of City regulations and policies for all projects. ■ Redevelopment Plans. The City will apply redevelopment tools associated with the implementation of the adopted redevelopment plans, as appropriate. The City will encourage the further development of industrial, commercial, and residential projects in suitable locations to strengthen the City's tax and employment base. ■ Special Studies. In certain instances, a special study may be required to address a particular issue. In these cases, a specific effort to identify staff' resources needed to conduct the appropriate investigation and analysis will be identified. ■ Zoning Code Review. The zoning code serves as a primary tool used by the City to regulate development. The City will develop a program to revise the Zoning Ordinance to ensure that development regulations and standards are consistent with community needs and high quality development. The City will initiate appropriate changes to the ordinance to ensure, where appropriate, conformity between the Land Use Element and Zoning Map. LAND USE PLAN BUILDOUT As indicated previously, the City of Santa Ana has been almost completely developed for many years. As a result, any new development will necessarily consist of redevelopment and infill development on the remaining vacant and underutilized parcels. Many parcels with nonresidential land use designations will never be developed to the maximum intensity permitted under the General Plan. Table A-4 indicates the development possible under the build -out of the Land Use Plan. The build -out for residential land uses considered two scenarios. Effective build -out for residential development is calculated by adding the 21, 255 units possible in the areas designated as District Center and Urban Neighborhood to the existing 74,669_74,5$8 units presently found in the City per Census 2000. Theoretical build -out for residential development considered the development possible if all of the areas designated as residential were developed according to the permitted Land Use Plan intensities. Since the Land Use Element does not contemplate the elimination of existing housing in the City, the effective build -out figure represents a more realistic estimate of future residential development. As indicated in Table A-4, three of the non-residential land use designations have a range in FAR intensities. For the non-residential land use designations, effective build -out considered the development possible under the lower range of FAR intensities while theoretical build -out considered the upper FAR range. Typically, parking and landscaping requirements will result in significantly less floor area for commercial and industrial developments than that which is permitted under the General Plan. CITY OF SANTA ANA GENERAL PLAN A-33 J�� LAND USE ELEMENT As indicated in Table A-4, between 76,998 to 95,924 95;$44—housing units are allowed by the Land Use Plan. The additional units which presently exist in the City beyond the maximum number permitted under the theoretical buildout scenario are a reflection of the higher density multiple -family developments constructed in the 1970's and 1980's. However, the purpose of the Land Use Plan as it applies to the residential areas is to preserve and maintain the stability of existing neighborhoods, regardless of the character of development. The intent of the Plan is not to create any displacement, nor decrease existing development densities. Rather, it is to ensure a safe, healthy, and livable environment for City residents. Existing residential development entitlements are protected through this Land Use Element, applicable Zoning regulations, and sections of the City code pertaining to legal nonconforming uses. The Land Use Element's implementation may result in an increase in the amount of commercial, office, and industrial development in the City. As indicated in Table A-4, up to 32,407,333 32;329r2+3-square feet of commercial and office development, and 42,199,991 square feet of industrial development are possible under the effective capacity parameters of Land Use Plan.

Acreage shown in table does not include roads in right-of-way. 1 Effective capacity for non-residential development assumes development possible under the lower range of FAR intensity standards with the exception of the Metro East District Center, Transit Village District Center, Downtown District Center, Heritage District Center, and Urban Neighborhood areas. The Harbor Corridor District Center, Metro East District Center, Transit Village District Center, Downtown District Center, and Urban Neighborhood areas allow a range of intensity for mixture of residential and non-residential development based on the zoning development standards. Residential effective capacity was calculated by adding the 21,255 units possible in the District Center and Urban Neighborhood with the existing 74 669 74G88 (Census 2000) housing units. 2 Land use designation permits both residential and non-residential development. Build -out assumes 90% of land area will be developed as commercial and 10% will be developed as residential; with the exception of Town and Country Manor project intended for continuum of care and housing seniors. 3 Land use designation permits high intensity office development with ancillary retail use.
