Exhibit 1 - Resolution of the City Council and Addendum to the TZC EIR <br />RESOLUTION NO. 2025- <br />A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF SANTA <br />ANA TO MAKE FINDINGS PURSUANT TO PUBLIC RESOURCES <br />CODE SECTION 21166 AND TO ADOPT THE ADDENDUM TO <br />THE TRANSIT ZONING CODE ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT <br />REPORT (STATE CLEARINGHOUSE NUMBER NO. 2006071100) <br />WHEREAS, at a duly noticed public hearing held on June 7, 2010, the City <br />Council of the City of Santa Ana ("City Council") adopted findings and a Statement of <br />Overriding Considerations and certified the Transit Zoning Code Environmental Impact <br />Report (State Clearinghouse No. 2006071100, "Transit Zoning Code EIR"), pursuant to <br />the California Environmental Quality Act (Public Resources Code, §§ 21000, et seq., <br />"CEQA"), the regulations promulgated thereunder (14 Cal. Code of Regulations, <br />§§ 15000, et seq., "CEQA Guidelines") and adopted the City of Santa Ana's Transit <br />Zoning Code ("Transit Zoning Code"), which is designed to provide the zoning <br />necessary to support the long-term development of a successful transit program; and <br />WHEREAS, after continued research and study, two ordinances have been <br />developed that address the impacts from industrial land uses in the Specific <br />Development No. 84 (SD-84) Zoning District, also known as the Transit Zoning Code: <br />(1) Zoning Ordinance Amendment (ZOA) No. 2024-02 to amend certain provisions of <br />the Santa Ana Municipal Code and amend portions of the Transit Zoning Code, including <br />the deletion of industrial land uses; amendment of non -conforming regulations; and (2) <br />Amendment Application (AA) No. 2024-03 to remove the M1 (Light Industrial) and M2 <br />(Heavy Industrial) suffixes from certain properties within the SD-84 Zoning District <br />boundary as designated on the City of Santa Ana Zoning Map; and <br />WHEREAS, pursuant to CEQA, when taking subsequent discretionary actions in <br />furtherance of a project for which an EIR has been certified, the lead agency is required <br />to review any changed circumstances to determine whether any of the circumstances <br />under Public Resources Code section 21166 and CEQA Guidelines section 15162 <br />require additional environmental review; and <br />WHEREAS, the City has evaluated the proposed ordinances to the Transit <br />Zoning Code in light of the standards for subsequent environmental review outlined in <br />Public Resources Code section 21166 and CEQA Guidelines section 15162, and <br />concluded that the proposed changes would not result in new significant environmental <br />effects or a substantial increase in the severity of previously identified significant effects <br />that were previously disclosed in the Transit Zoning Code EIR, and therefore no <br />subsequent EIR or mitigated negative declaration is required; and <br />WHEREAS, the proposed changes would nonetheless necessitate minor <br />changes or additions to the Transit Zoning Code EIR and, thus, the City has prepared <br />an Addendum for the Transit Zoning Code EIR ("Addendum"), attached as Exhibit 1, <br />pursuant to State CEQA Guidelines section 15164 to address the proposed ordinances; <br />and <br />
