justice. With the majority of the City affected by environmental burdens, having a committed team <br />to address those is the most important factor in ensuring a safe and equitable place for all to live. <br />Table 12 <br />Distribution of Units and CalEnviroScreen Scores <br />Affordable <br />Mixed <br />Income Total <br />0 - 20 0% 0% 0% <br />20 - 40 0% 1% 0% <br />40 - 60 5% 9% 7% <br />60 - 80 52% 48% 49% <br />80 - 100 44% 43% 43% <br />Total 4,222 9,648 13,870 <br />Exempt Sites <br />The exempt sites designated by the City are primarily located along the west and east sides of <br />17th Street and Tustin Avenue to the east. These areas are generally outside of the City’s Focus <br />Areas and not targeted for redevelopment under the General Plan. Similar to the Alternative sites, <br />there is a high number of exempt sites located within higher environmental score areas, but this <br />is consistent with the makeup of the entire City, like many other factors. However, regardless of <br />the location of housing in Santa Ana, the City has goals and policies in place to help address <br />environmental burdens. <br />Conclusion <br />Both the Alternative and Exempt sites are in areas where there are environmental burdens. <br />However, with the Alternative sites primarily situated in the central and northern parts of the City, <br />zoning and land use plans encourage multi-family development that could lead to improved <br />conditions for all residents. The City and the NIES team has been actively addressing <br />environmental justice through a range of policies and initiatives designed to mitigate pollution, <br />improve public health, and promote sustainability, particularly in the underserved communities <br />that bear the brunt of environmental hazards. With the use of CalEnviroScreen data, the NIES <br />team can create targeted initiatives in areas like Downtown to create a healthier, more equitable <br />living environment for all residents. <br />ATTACHMENT 3
