Respectfu4 submitted: J A it Gala R c r i Secretary POLICE OVERSIGHT COMMISSION 6 APRIL 10, 2025     City Council 6 – 35 6/3/2025 Community Development Agency www.santa-ana.org/cd Item # 7 City of Santa Ana 20 Civic Center Plaza, Santa Ana, CA 92701 Staff Report June 3, 2025 TOPIC: Public Meeting Regarding Renewing the Santa Ana Tourism Marketing District (SATMD) AGENDA TITLE Public Meeting Regarding Renewing the Santa Ana Tourism Marketing District (SATMD) Legal notice published in the OC Reporter on May 16, 2025. RECOMMENDED ACTION Hear public testimony regarding the proposed renewal of the SATMD, pursuant to the Property and Business Improvement District Law of 1994, Streets and Highways Code section 36600 et seq. No Council Action required. GOVERNMENT CODE §84308 APPLIES: No DISCUSSION On November 17, 2020, the City Council of the City of Santa Ana (Council) adopted a resolution to establish the SATMD for a five year term. Travel Santa Ana (TSA) and Santa Ana lodging businesses now wish to renew the SATMD for an additional ten (10) year term. Extending the SATMD term to 10 years allows TSA more time to implement long-term marketing strategies and infrastructure improvements that will require sustained efforts in order to yield measurable results. With a strong five-year track record, SATMD has built trust among hotel partners and is well-positioned for continued growth. The 10-year term reduces the administrative burden of renewals for shorter terms and allows more focus on sales and marketing. The proposal for a 10-year term is backed by TMD hoteliers and aligns with the industry norm, as about 90% of TMD renewals in California—including those in major Southern California cities—opt for a 10- year term. Further details are included in Exhibit 2. The SATMD is a participant-driven benefit assessment district proposed to create a revenue source to help fund marketing and sales promotion efforts for Santa Ana lodging businesses. The City’s role in the SATMD is limited to acting as a fiscal agent. It facilitates the collection and distribution of funds, but does not influence how those funds are used. All decisions regarding spending priorities and marketing activities are made by the Travel Santa Ana Board of Directors. Additionally, the City does not contribute or allocate any public funding to support SATMD, which is entirely self-    City Council 7 – 1 6/3/2025 Public Meeting to Renew the Santa Ana Tourism Marketing District (SATMD) June 3, 2025 Page 2 5 0 7 5 imposed and funded by the participating hotels themselves. This approach has been used successfully in other destination areas throughout the state to improve tourism and drive additional room nights to assessed lodging businesses. The established SATMD includes all lodging businesses with seventy (70) rooms or more located within the boundaries of the City, which is 17 of those lodging businesses in SATMD. The City has received signed petitions from 12 of the 17 lodging businesses which represent 74% of the total Hotel Visitor Tax assessment indicating that they wish to initiate proceedings to renew the Santa Ana Tourism Marketing District for an additional 10-year term. The Property and Business Improvement District Law of 1994 requires more than 50% of assessed hotels to sign a petition in support to renew the Tourism Marketing District. Lodging business owners decided to pursue renewal of the SATMD in order to continue with a dedicated revenue source devoted to marketing Santa Ana as a tourist, meeting, and event destination. These funds have been managed by the TSA Board of Directors, a non-profit tourism and marketing destination organization that was created. FIVE-YEAR TSA ACCOMPLISHMENTS Established with the formation of the SATMD in 2020, TSA has positioned itself as the city's official destination marketing organization, effectively shaping a distinct brand identity and enhancing Santa Ana’s visibility as a dynamic visitor destination. Through strategic leadership, data-driven decision-making, and targeted marketing initiatives, TSA has strengthened tourism's economic impact while fostering robust community engagement. To establish a cohesive and authentic brand identity, TSA implemented an innovative branding strategy, replacing a traditional logo with signature designs created in collaboration with five local artists. This community-driven approach reflects Santa Ana’s cultural and artistic vibrancy. The organization also developed two comprehensive three-year strategic plans, outlining a framework for sustained destination marketing efforts. A critical component of this strategy was the launch of www.travelsantaana.com, serving as the primary digital platform for promoting Santa Ana’s attractions, businesses, and events. TSA has also focused on enhancing visitor engagement through curated content and outreach initiatives. The publication of an annual Visitors Guide and a Public Art Guide, highlighting over 200 murals citywide, has provided valuable resources for tourists and residents alike. The "Santa Ana Enthusiast" ambassador program further strengthened community involvement by engaging local stakeholders in promoting the city's unique experiences. Strategic sales and marketing efforts have targeted key market segments, driving tourism-related economic activity. A comprehensive digital marketing strategy, incorporating official social media channels and a professionally produced destination video, has amplified Santa Ana’s presence across multiple platforms. Notable collaborations, such as partnerships with the Orange County Restaurant Association for     City Council 7 – 2 6/3/2025 Public Meeting to Renew the Santa Ana Tourism Marketing District (SATMD) June 3, 2025 Page 3 5 0 7 5 OC Restaurant Week and the "Proud Santanero" campaign series, have spotlighted local businesses and cultural assets. Recognizing the importance of data in decision-making, TSA commissioned the city's first tourism economic impact study, providing critical insights into visitor trends and spending patterns. International outreach has been a key priority, with initiatives such as a culinary passport program showcasing Santa Ana’s diverse dining scene and a pioneering cannabis tourism program designed to attract niche travel markets. These efforts have positioned Santa Ana as a compelling destination for both domestic and international visitors, particularly from Mexico and Canada. Further expanding its global reach, TSA has developed an international marketing plan and secured a partnership with acclaimed travel journalist Peter Greenberg for a segment on Santa Ana’s “Hidden Gems”, set to air on PBS and Apple TV. These initiatives collectively contribute to Santa Ana’s long-term tourism growth, reinforcing the city's status as a premier destination within the region. It was reported that in January 2025, the hotel occupancy for the SATMD was up 11.9% from January 2024. In addition, the Average Daily Rate for hotels were up 1.6% which resulted in a 13.7% increase in hotel revenue. TOURISM MARKETING DISTRICT BACKGROUND Tourism Marketing Districts (TMDs) utilize the efficiencies of private sector operation in the market-based promotion of tourism. These special assessment districts allow lodging business owners to organize their efforts to increase tourism. Lodging business owners within the TMD fund the TMD, and those funds are used to provide services that are desired by and benefit the lodging businesses within the TMD. TMD benefits: •Funds cannot be diverted for other City government programs •They are customized to fit the needs of each destination •They allow for a wide range of services, including: destination marketing, tourism promotion, and sales lead generation •They are designed, created, and governed by those who will pay the assessment •They provide a stable funding source for tourism promotion In California, TMDs are primarily formed pursuant to the Property and Business Improvement District Law of 1994 (94 Law). This law allows for the creation of a special benefit assessment districts to raise funds within a specific geographic area. The key difference between TMDs and other special benefit assessment districts is that funds raised are returned to the private non-profit corporation governing the TMD.     City Council 7 – 3 6/3/2025 Public Meeting to Renew the Santa Ana Tourism Marketing District (SATMD) June 3, 2025 Page 4 5 0 7 5 MANAGEMENT DISTRICT PLAN The Management District Plan (Exhibit 1) includes the proposed boundary of the SATMD, a service plan and budget, and a proposed means of governance. The SATMD will include all lodging businesses with seventy (70) rooms or more, existing and in the future, available for public occupancy within the boundaries of the City. The renewed SATMD will have a ten (10) year life, beginning January 1, 2026, or as soon as possible thereafter, and ending ten (10) years from its start date. After ten (10) years, the SATMD may be renewed pursuant to the 94 Law if assessed business owners support continuing the SATMD programs. The annual assessment rate is two percent (2%) of gross short-term sleeping room rental revenue. Every two (2) years during the operation of the SATMD, the assessment rate may be increased by the TSA Board to a maximum rate of four percent (4%) of gross short-term sleeping room rental revenue. If the assessment rate is increased, it may subsequently be decreased but shall not be decreased below a minimum of two percent (2%) of gross short-term sleeping room rental revenue. The maximum increase or decrease in any two-year period shall be one-half of one percent (0.5%). Once per year beginning on the anniversary of SATMD establishment, there is a thirty (30) day period in which business owners paying fifty percent (50%) or more of the assessment may protest and begin proceedings to terminate the SATMD. Any increase must address specific needs, such as tourism recovery or expanding marketing efforts, and can later be reduced, though not below 2%. This flexible funding structure allows Santa Ana hoteliers to respond strategically to changing market conditions. Decisions on rate changes are guided by the Travel Santa Ana Board, considering factors like occupancy and economic impact. Regular monthly reporting ensures transparency, and the TMD hoteliers support the structured increase approach, which aligns with practices in about 43% of California Tourism Marketing Districts.

Since inception of the first SATMD, the City has collected $114,114 in administration fees. This 2% fee supports the administrative costs incurred by the Finance and Community Development staff in administering the program. At the April 15 City Council meeting, the Council requested additional information regarding the proposed 10-year term and the potential for assessment increases. This information is provided by Travel Santa Ana in Exhibit 2.

OVERVIEW Developed by Santa Ana lodging businesses and Travel Santa Ana (TSA), the Santa Ana Tourism Marketing District (SATMD) is an assessment district proposed to continue to provide specific benefits to payors by funding Sales and Marketing promotion efforts for assessed businesses. This approach has been used successfully in other destination areas throughout the country to provide the benefit of additional room night sales directly to payors. The SATMD was initially created in 2021 for a five (5) year term. TSA and Santa Ana lodging businesses now wish to renew the SATMD for an additional ten (10) year term. Location: The renewed SATMD includes all lodging businesses with seventy (70) rooms or more, existing and in the future, available for public occupancy located within the boundaries of the City of Santa Ana (City), as shown on the map in Section IV. Services: The SATMD is designed to provide specific benefits directly to payors by increasing awareness and demand for room night sales. Sales and Marketing promotions programs will increase demand for overnight tourism and market payors as tourist, meeting and event destinations, thereby increasing demand for room night sales. Budget: The total SATMD annual assessment budget for the initial year of its ten (10) year operation is anticipated to be approximately $1,600,000. A similar assessment budget is expected to apply to subsequent years, but this assessment budget is expected to fluctuate as room sales do, as businesses open and close, and if the assessment rate is increased or decreased pursuant to this Management District Plan (Plan). Cost: The annual assessment rate is two percent (2%) of gross short-term sleeping room rental revenue. Every two (2) years during the operation of the SATMD, the assessment rate may be increased by the TSA Board to a maximum rate of four percent (4%) of gross short-term sleeping room rental revenue. If the assessment rate is increased, it may subsequently be decreased but shall not be decreased below a minimum of two percent (2%) of gross short-term sleeping room rental revenue. The maximum increase or decrease in any two-year period shall be one-half of one percent (0.5%). Based on the benefit received, assessments will not be collected on: stays of more than thirty (30) consecutive days; stays by any person as to whom, or any occupancy as to which, it is beyond the power of the City to impose the assessment herein provided; stays by any officer or employee of a foreign government who is exempt by reason of express provision of federal law or international treaty; and stays by any federal or state officer or employee while on official business only and when payment for such occupancy is made directly to the operator by duly authorized voucher payment from a governmental accounting office. This exemption does not exempt a transient who is employed by the United States government or the state or their respective instrumentalities from payment of the assessment when the payment is later to be reimbursed by the United States government or the state or their respective instrumentalities. Collection: The City will be responsible for collecting the assessment on a monthly basis (including any delinquencies, interest, and overdue charges) from each assessed lodging business     City Council 7 – 9 6/3/2025 SATMD Management District Plan 4 May 14, 2025 located in the boundaries of the SATMD. The City shall take all reasonable efforts to collect the assessments from each assessed lodging business. Duration: The renewed SATMD will have a ten (10) year life, beginning January 1, 2026, or as soon as possible thereafter, and ending ten (10) years from its start date. After ten (10) years, the SATMD may be renewed pursuant to the Property and Business Improvement District Law of 1994, Streets and Highways Code section 36600 et seq. (94 Law) if assessed business owners support continuing the SATMD programs. Management: TSA shall continue to serve as the SATMD’s Owners’ Association. The Owners’ Association is charged with managing funds and implementing programs in accordance with this Plan, and must provide annual reports to the City Council.     City Council 7 – 10 6/3/2025 SATMD Management District Plan 5 May 14, 2025 II. BACKGROUND TMDs are an evolution of the traditional Business Improvement District. The first TMD was formed in West Hollywood, California in 1989. Since then, over 100 California destinations have followed suit. In recent years, other states have begun adopting the California model –Illinois, Minnesota, Massachusetts, Montana, South Dakota, Washington, Colorado, Texas and Louisiana have adopted TMD laws. Several other states are in the process of adopting their own legislation. The cities of Wichita, Kansas and Newark, New Jersey used an existing business improvement district law to form a TMD. Additionally, some cities, like Portland, Oregon and Memphis, Tennessee have utilized their home rule powers to create TMDs without a state law. California’s TMDs collectively raise over $300 million annually for local destination marketing. With competitors raising their budgets, and increasing rivalry for visitor dollars, it is important that Santa Ana lodging businesses continue to invest in stable, commerce- specific marketing programs. TMDs utilize the efficiencies of private sector operation in the market-based promotion of tourism districts. TMDs allow tourism business owners to organize their efforts to increase commerce. lodging business owners within the TMD pay an assessment and those funds are used to provide services that increase commerce. In California, most TMDs are formed pursuant to the Property and Business Improvement District Law of 1994. This law allows for the creation of a benefit assessment district to raise funds within a specific geographic area. The key difference between TMDs and other benefit assessment districts is that funds raised are returned to the private non-profit corporation governing the district. There are many benefits to TMDs: • Funds must be spent on services and improvements that provide a specific benefit only to those who pay; • Funds cannot be diverted to general government programs; • They are customized to fit the needs of payors in each destination; • They allow for a wide range of services; • They are designed, created and governed by those who will pay the assessment; and • They provide a stable, long-term funding source for tourism promotion. 0 20 40 60 80 100 120 Number of Districts Operating in California     City Council 7 – 11 6/3/2025 SATMD Management District Plan 6 May 14, 2025 III.

BOUNDARY The SATMD will continue to include all lodging businesses with seventy (70) rooms or more, existing and in the future, available for public occupancy within the boundaries of the City of Santa Ana, as shown in the map below. Lodging business means: Any structure, or any portion of any structure, which is occupied or intended or designed for occupancy by transients for dwelling, lodging or sleeping purposes, and includes any hotel, inn, tourist home or house, motel, studio hotel, bachelor hotel, lodging house, rooming house, apartment house, dormitory, public or private club, mobile home or house trailer at a fixed location, or other similar structure or portion thereof. A complete listing of assessed lodging businesses within the renewed SATMD can be found in Appendix 2.     City Council 7 – 13 6/3/2025 SATMD Management District Plan 8 May 14, 2025 V. ASSESSMENT BUDGET AND SERVICES A. Annual Service Plan Assessment funds will be spent to provide specific benefits conferred or privileges granted directly to the payors that are not provided to those not charged, and which do not exceed the reasonable cost to the City of conferring the benefits or granting the privileges. The privileges and services provided with the SATMD funds are Sales and Marketing programs available only to assessed businesses. A service plan assessment budget has been developed to deliver services that benefit the assessed businesses. A detailed annual assessment budget will be developed and approved by the TSA Board. The chart below illustrates the initial annual assessment budget allocations. These activities and allocations will also apply in subsequent years. The total initial assessment budget is estimated to be $1,600,000. Although actual revenues will fluctuate due to market conditions, the proportional allocations of the budget shall remain the same. However, the City and the TSA Board shall have the authority to adjust budget allocations between the categories by no more than fifteen percent (15%) of the total budget per year. For example, the City and the TSA Board may fluctuate the SATMD’s budget allocation for the Sales and Marketing category from its current seventy percent (70%) to a maximum budget allocation of eighty-five percent (85%) or down to a minimum budget allocation of fifty-five percent (55%). A description of the proposed improvements and activities for the initial year of operation is below. The same activities are proposed for subsequent years. In the event of a legal challenge against the SATMD, any and all assessment funds may be used for the costs of defending the SATMD. Each budget category includes all costs related to providing that service. For example, the Sales and Marketing budget includes the cost of staff time dedicated to overseeing and implementing the Sales and Marketing program. Staff time dedicated purely to administrative tasks is allocated to the administrative portion of the budget. The costs of an individual staff member may be allocated to Sales and Marketing, $1,120,000.00 , 70%Administration, $320,000.00 , 20% Contingency / Reserve, $128,000.00 , 8% City Administration Fee, $32,000.00 , 2% Initial Annual Assessment Budget - $1,600,000     City Council 7 – 14 6/3/2025 SATMD Management District Plan 9 May 14, 2025 multiple budget categories. The staffing levels necessary to provide the services below will be determined by TSA on an as- needed basis. Sales and Marketing A Sales and Marketing program will promote assessed businesses and Santa Ana as tourist, meeting, and event destinations. The Sales and Marketing program will have a central theme of promoting Santa Ana as a desirable place for overnight visits. The program will have the goal of increasing overnight visitation and room night sales at assessed businesses, and may include the following activities: • Internet marketing efforts to increase awareness and optimize internet presence to drive overnight visitation and room sales to assessed businesses; • Print ads in magazines and newspapers, television ads, and radio ads targeted at potential visitors to drive overnight visitation and room sales to assessed businesses; • Attendance of trade shows to promote overnight visitation to assessed businesses; • Sales blitzes for assessed businesses; • Familiarization tours of assessed businesses; • Preparation and production of collateral promotional materials such as brochures, flyers and maps featuring assessed businesses as well as all events, attractions, and reasons to visit (Stay, Shop, Dine, Play); • Attendance of professional industry conferences and affiliation events to promote assessed businesses; • Lead generation activities designed to attract tourists and group events to assessed businesses; • Director of Sales and General Manager meetings to plan and coordinate tourism promotion efforts for assessed businesses; and • Development and maintenance of a website designed to promote overnight visitation to the city and promote Santa Ana as a tourism destination highlighting the assessed businesses, as well as all events, attractions, and reasons to visit (Stay, Shop, Dine, Play) to increase overnight visitation at assessed lodging businesses. Administration and Operations The administration and operations portion of the budget shall be utilized for administrative staffing costs, office costs, advocacy, and other general administrative costs such as insurance, legal, and accounting fees. City Administration Fee The City of Santa Ana shall be paid a fee equal to two percent (2%) of the amount of assessment collected, to cover its costs of collection and administration. Contingency/Reserve The budget includes a contingency line item to account for uncollected assessments, if any. If there are contingency funds collected, they may be held in a reserve fund or utilized for other program, administration or renewal costs at the discretion of the TSA Board. Policies relating to contributions to the reserve fund, the target amount of the reserve fund, and expenditure of monies from the reserve fund shall be set by the TSA Board. Contingency/reserve funds may be spent on SATMD programs or administrative and renewal costs in such proportions as determined by the TSA Board. The reserve fund may be used for the costs of renewing the SATMD.     City Council 7 – 15 6/3/2025 SATMD Management District Plan 10 May 14, 2025 B. Annual Budget The total ten (10) year assessment budget is projected at approximately $1,600,000 annually, or $24,000,000 through the ten (10) year term of the SATMD if the maximum assessment rate increases are adopted. A similar budget is expected to apply to subsequent years, but this budget is expected to fluctuate as room sales do, as businesses open and close, and if the assessment rate is increased or decreased pursuant to this Plan. Every two (2) years during the operation of the SATMD, the assessment rate may be increased by the TSA Board to a maximum rate of four percent (4%) of gross short-term sleeping room rental revenue. If the assessment rate is increased, it may subsequently be decreased but shall not be decreased below a minimum of two percent (2%) of gross short-term sleeping room rental revenue. The maximum increase or decrease in any two-year period shall be one-half of one percent (0.5%). The table below demonstrates the estimated maximum budget with the assumption that the assessment rate will be increased at the earliest opportunity as it is a required disclosure, it is not the anticipated course of action. Alternate courses of action may be taken in regard to implementing the assessment rate increase other than what is demonstrated in the chart below, within the parameters of this Plan. Estimated Annual Budget if Maximum Assessment Rates Are Adopted Year Assessment Rate Budget 2026 2.00% $1,600,000 2027 2.00% $1,600,000 2028 2.50% $2,000,000 2029 2.50% $2,000,000 2030 3.00% $2,400,000 2031 3.00% $2,400,000 2032 3.50% $2,800,000 2033 3.50% $2,800,000 2034 4.00% $3,200,000 2035 4.00% $3,200,000 Total $24,000,000 C. California Constitutional Compliance The SATMD assessment is not a property-based assessment subject to the requirements of Proposition 218. Courts have found Proposition 218 limited the term ‘assessments’ to levies on real property.1 Rather, the SATMD assessment is a business-based assessment, and is subject to Proposition 26. Pursuant to Proposition 26 all levies are a tax unless they fit one of seven exceptions. Two of these exceptions apply to the SATMD, a “specific benefit” and a “specific government service.” Both require that the costs of benefits or services do not exceed the reasonable costs to the City of conferring the benefits or providing the services. 1 Jarvis v. the City of San Diego 72 Cal App. 4th 230     City Council 7 – 16 6/3/2025 SATMD Management District Plan 11 May 14, 2025 1. Specific Benefit Proposition 26 requires that assessment funds be expended on, “a specific benefit conferred or privilege granted directly to the payor that is not provided to those not charged, and which does not exceed the reasonable costs to the local government of conferring the benefit or granting the privilege.”2 The services in this Plan are designed to provide targeted benefits directly to assessed businesses, and are intended only to provide benefits and services directly to those businesses paying the assessment. These services are tailored not to serve the general public, businesses in general, or parcels of land, but rather to serve the specific businesses within the SATMD. The activities described in this Plan are specifically targeted to increase demand for room night sales for assessed lodging businesses within the boundaries of the SATMD, and are narrowly tailored. SATMD funds will be used exclusively to provide the specific benefit of increased demand for room night sales directly to the assessees. Assessment funds shall not be used to feature non-assessed lodging businesses in SATMD programs, or to directly generate sales for non-assessed businesses. The activities paid for from assessment revenues are business services constituting and providing specific benefits to the assessed businesses. Nothing in this Plan limits the ability of the Owners’ Association to enter into private contracts with non-assessed lodging businesses for the provision of services to those businesses. The assessment imposed by this SATMD is for a specific benefit conferred directly to the payors that is not provided to those not charged. The specific benefit conferred directly to the payors is an increase in demand for room night sales. The specific benefit of an increase in demand for room night sales for assessed lodging businesses will be provided only to lodging businesses paying the district assessment, with Sales and Marketing programs promoting lodging businesses paying the SATMD assessment. The Sales and Marketing programs will be designed to increase room night sales at each assessed lodging businesses. Because they are necessary to provide the Sales and Marketing programs that specifically benefit the assessed lodging businesses, the administration and contingency services also provide the specific benefit of increased demand for room night sales to the assessed lodging businesses. Although the SATMD, in providing specific benefits to payors, may produce incidental benefits to non-paying businesses, the incidental benefit does not preclude the services from being considered a specific benefit. The legislature has found that, “A specific benefit is not excluded from classification as a ‘specific benefit’ merely because an indirect benefit to a nonpayor occurs incidentally and without cost to the payor as a consequence of providing the specific benefit to the payor.”3 2. Specific Government Service The assessment may also be utilized to provide, “a specific government service or product provided directly to the payor that is not provided to those not charged, and which does not exceed the reasonable costs to the local government of providing the service or product.”4 The legislature has recognized that marketing and promotions services like those to be provided by the SATMD are government services within the meaning of Proposition 265. Further, the legislature has determined that “a specific government service is not excluded from classification as a ‘specific government service’ merely because an indirect benefit to a nonpayor occurs incidentally and without cost to the payor as a consequence of providing the specific government service to the payor.”6 2 Cal. Const. art XIII C § 1(e)(1) 3 Government Code § 53758(a) 4 Cal. Const. art XIII C § 1(e)(2) 5 Government Code § 53758(b) 6 Government Code § 53758(b)     City Council 7 – 17 6/3/2025 SATMD Management District Plan 12 May 14, 2025 3. Reasonable Cost SATMD services will be implemented carefully to ensure they do not exceed the reasonable cost of such services. The full amount assessed will be used to provide the services described herein. Funds will be managed by the TSA, and reports submitted on an annual basis to the City. Only assessed lodging businesses will be featured in marketing materials, receive sales leads generated from SATMD- funded activities, be featured in advertising campaigns, and benefit from other SATMD-funded services. The assessed lodging business list was compiled from records provided by the jurisdiction and complies with the requirements of the 94 Law. Pursuant to Streets and Highways Code Section 36615, the City Council’s determination of ownership is final and conclusive, with no obligation to obtain other information. Non-assessed lodging businesses will not receive these, nor any other, SATMD-funded services and benefits. D. Assessment The annual assessment rate is two percent (2%) of gross short term room rental revenue. Every two (2) years during the operation of the SATMD, the assessment rate may be increased by the TSA Board to a maximum rate of four percent (4%) of gross short-term sleeping room rental revenue. If the assessment rate is increased, it may subsequently be decreased but shall not be decreased below a minimum of two percent (2%) of gross short-term sleeping room rental revenue. The maximum increase or decrease in any two-year period shall be one-half of one percent (0.5%). Based on the benefit received, assessments will not be collected on: stays of more than thirty (30) consecutive days; stays by any person as to whom, or any occupancy as to which, it is beyond the power of the City to impose the assessment herein provided; stays by any officer or employee of a foreign government who is exempt by reason of express provision of federal law or international treaty; and stays by any federal or state officer or employee while on official business only and when payment for such occupancy is made directly to the operator by duly authorized voucher payment from a governmental accounting office. This exemption does not exempt a transient who is employed by the United States government or the state or their respective instrumentalities from payment of the assessment when the payment is later to be reimbursed by the United States government or the state or their respective instrumentalities. The assessment was calculated based on the total cost of the activities to be provided for the benefit of the businesses within the SATMD, with costs allocated based on the proportional benefit conferred to each business. Activities funded by the SATMD, are specifically targeted to increase room nights at assessed businesses. All room night sales do not represent the same benefit to the payors. For example, a higher priced room night is of greater benefit than a lower priced room night because the assessee derives greater revenue. To account for this benefit differential and to make sure the benefits are proportional, an assessment formula based on a percentage of revenue has been selected. The proposed formula accurately reflects greater benefit to assessed businesses with higher priced room nights. The term “gross short-term sleeping room rental revenue” as used herein means: the total consideration charged to transients as shown on the guest receipt for the occupancy of space in a hotel, including charges for equipment (such as rollaway beds, cribs and television set, etc.), and in - room services (such as movies and other services not subject to state taxes), valued in money. The costs of additional goods and services, which are not "rent," but which may be sold as a package with the room (such as meals, excursions, and recreational services), must be accounted for in accordance with the rules and regulations promulgated by the City.     City Council 7 – 18 6/3/2025 SATMD Management District Plan 13 May 14, 2025 Gross short-term sleeping room rental revenue shall not include, and therefore the assessment shall not be charged upon, any federal, state or local taxes collected, including but not limited to transient occupancy taxes. The assessment is levied upon and a direct obligation of the assessed lodging business. However, the assessed lodging business may, at its discretion, pass the assessment on to transients. The amount of assessment, if passed on to each transient, shall be disclosed in advance and separately stated from the amount of rent charged and any other applicable taxes, and each transient shall receive a receipt for payment from the business. If the SATMD assessment is identified separately it shall be disclosed as the “SATMD Assessment.” As an alternative, the disclosure may include the amount of the SATMD assessment and the amount of the assessment imposed pursuant to the California Tourism Marketing Act, Government Code §13995 et seq. and shall be disclosed as the “Tourism Assessment.” The assessment is imposed solely upon, and is the sole obligation of the assessed lodging business even if it is passed on to transients. The assessment shall not be considered revenue for calculation of transient occupancy taxes. The California Department of Tax and Fee Administration (CDTFA) issued a written opinion that state sales tax applies to the revenue generated from Tourism Business Improvement District (TBID) assessments on items where state sales tax is levied. In light of CDTFA’s opinion, businesses that pay both state sales tax and TBID assessments on sales are advised to collect sales tax on the assessment revenue. Bonds shall not be issued. TSA shall not issue debt of any kind; and shall only fund expenses with recurring assessment revenue collected or the reserve balance. E. Interest and Overdue Charges The SATMD shall reimburse the City for any costs associated with collecting unpaid assessments. If sums in excess of the delinquent SATMD assessment are sought to be recovered in the same collection action by the City, the SATMD shall bear its pro rata share of such collection costs. Assessed businesses which are delinquent in paying the assessment shall be responsible for paying: 1. Original Delinquency Overdue Charge: Any lodging business which fails to remit any assessment within the time required shall pay an overdue charge of ten percent (10%) of the amount of the assessment in addition to the amount of the assessment. 2. Continued Delinquency Compounding Overdue Charge: Any lodging business which fails to remit any delinquent remittance on or before a period of thirty (30) days following the date on which the remittance first became delinquent shall pay an additional delinquency overdue charge of ten percent (10%) of the amount of the assessment and the ten percent (10%) overdue charge first imposed. Any lodging business which fails to remit any delinquent remittance on or before a period of sixty (60) days following the date on which the remittance first became delinquent shall pay an additional delinquency overdue charge of ten percent (10%) of the amount of the assessment and the ten percent (10%) overdue charge first imposed together with the additional ten percent (10%) overdue charge imposed. 3. Audit Deficiency Compounding Overdue Charge: If, upon audit by the City, a lodging business is found to be deficient in either its return or its remittance or both, the City shall immediately assess the lodging business the amount of the net deficiency plus an audit deficiency overdue charge of ten percent (10%) of the amount of the net deficiency. If said lodging business’s remittance was deficient for a period of greater than thirty (30) days following the date on which remittance was first delinquent, said lodging business shall pay an additional audit     City Council 7 – 19 6/3/2025 SATMD Management District Plan 14 May 14, 2025 deficiency overdue charge of ten percent (10%) of the net deficiency and the ten percent (10%) overdue charge first imposed. If said lodging business’s remittance was deficient for a period of greater than sixty (60) days following the date on which the remittance first became delinquent, said lodging business shall pay an additional audit deficiency overdue charge of ten percent (10%) of the amount of the assessment and the ten percent (10%) overdue charge first imposed together with the additional ten percent (10%) overdue charge imposed 4. Fraud: If the City determines that the nonpayment of any remittance due under this Plan is due to fraud, an overdue charge of twenty-five percent (25%) of the amount of the assessment shall be added thereto in addition to the overdue charges stated in subsections (1) and (2) of this section. 5. Interest: In addition to the overdue charges imposed, any lodging business who fails to remit any assessment imposed by this Plan shall pay interest at the rate of one and one-half percent (1.50%) per month or fraction thereof on the amount of the assessment, exclusive of overdue charges, from the date on which the remittance first became delinquent until paid. 6. Overdue Charges Merged with Assessment: Every overdue charge imposed and such interest as accrues under the provisions of this section shall become a part of the assessment herein required to be paid. F. Time and Manner for Collecting Assessments The SATMD assessment will be implemented beginning January 1, 2026 or as soon as possible thereafter, and ending ten (10) years from its start date. The City will be responsible for collecting the assessment on a monthly basis (including any delinquencies, interest and overdue charges) from each assessed lodging business. The City shall take all reasonable efforts to collect the assessments from each assessed lodging business. The City shall forward the assessments collected to the Owners’ Association.     City Council 7 – 20 6/3/2025 SATMD Management District Plan 15 May 14, 2025 VI. GOVERNANCE A. Owners’ Association The City Council, through adoption of this Plan, has the right, pursuant to Streets and Highways Code §36651, to identify the body that shall implement the proposed program, which shall be the Owners’ Association of the SATMD as defined in Streets and Highways Code §36612. The City Council has determined that TSA will continue to serve as the Owners’ Association for the SATMD. B. Brown Act and California Public Records Act Compliance An Owners’ Association is a private entity and may not be considered a public entity for any purpose, nor may its board members or staff be considered to be public officials for any purpose. The Owners’ Association is, however, subject to government regulations relating to transparency, namely the Ralph M. Brown Act and the California Public Records Act. These regulations are designed to promote public accountability. The Owners’ Association acts as a legislative body under the Ralph M. Brown Act (Government Code §54950 et seq.). Thus, meetings of the TSA Board and certain committees must be held in compliance with the public notice and other requirements of the Brown Act. Accordingly, the Owners’ Association shall publicly report any action taken and the vote or abstention on that action of each member present for the action. The Owners’ Association is also subject to the record keeping and disclosure requirements of the California Public Records Act. C. Annual Report TSA shall present an annual report at the end of each year of operation to the City Council pursuant to Streets and Highways Code §36650 (see Appendix 1). The annual report shall include: • Any proposed changes in the boundaries of the improvement district or in any benefit zones or classification of businesses within the district. • The improvements and activities to be provided for that fiscal year. • An estimate of the cost of providing the improvements and the activities for that fiscal year. • The method and basis of levying the assessment in sufficient detail to allow each business owner to estimate the amount of the assessment to be levied against his or her business for that fiscal year. • The estimated amount of any surplus or deficit revenues to be carried over from a previous fiscal year. • The estimated amount of any contributions to be made from sources other than assessments levied pursuant to this part.     City Council 7 – 21 6/3/2025 SATMD Management District Plan 16 May 14, 2025 APPENDIX 1 – LAW CURRENT THROUGH ALL LEGISLATION OF THE 2024 REGULAR AND SPECIAL SESSIONS STREETS AND HIGHWAYS CODE DIVISION 18. PARKING PART 7. PROPERTY AND BUSINESS IMPROVEMENT DISTRICT LAW OF 1994 CHAPTER 1. General Provisions ARTICLE 1. Declarations 36600. Citation of part This part shall be known and may be cited as the “Property and Business Improvement District Law of 1994.” 36601. Legislative findings and declarations; Legislative guidance The Legislature finds and declares all of the following: (a) Businesses located and operating within business districts in some of this state’s communities are economically disadvantaged, are underutilized, and are unable to attract customers due to inadequate facilities, services, and activities in the business districts. (b) It is in the public interest to promote the economic revitalization and physical maintenance of business districts in order to create jobs, attract new businesses, and prevent the erosion of the business districts. (c) It is of particular local benefit to allow business districts to fund business related improvements, maintenance, and activities through the levy of assessments upon the businesses or real property that receive benefits from those improvements. (d) Assessments levied for the purpose of conferring special benefit upon the real property or a specific benefit upon the businesses in a business district are not taxes for the general benefit of a city, even if property, businesses, or persons not assessed receive incidental or collateral effects that benefit them. (e) Property and business improvement districts formed throughout this state have conferred special benefits upon properties and businesses within their districts and have made those properties and businesses more useful by providing the following benefits: (1) Crime reduction. A study by the Rand Corporation has confirmed a 12-percent reduction in the incidence of robbery and an 8-percent reduction in the total incidence of violent crimes within the 30 districts studied. (2) Job creation. (3) Business attraction. (4) Business retention. (5) Economic growth. (6) New investments. (f) With the dissolution of redevelopment agencies throughout the state, property and business improvement districts have become even more important tools with which communities can combat blight, promote economic opportunities, and create a clean and safe environment. (g) Since the enactment of this act, the people of California have adopted Proposition 218, which added Article XIII D to the Constitution in order to place certain requirements and restrictions on the formation of, and activities, expenditures, and assessments by property-based districts. Article XIII D of the Constitution provides that property-based districts may only levy assessments for special benefits. (h) The act amending this section is intended to provide the Legislature’s guidance with regard to this act, its interaction with the provisions of Article XIII D of the Constitution, and the determination of special benefits in property-based districts. (1) The lack of legislative guidance has resulted in uncertainty and inconsistent application of this act, which discourages the use of assessments to fund needed improvements, maintenance, and activities in property-based districts, contributing to blight and other underutilization of property. (2) Activities undertaken for the purpose of conferring special benefits upon property to be assessed inherently produce incidental or collateral effects that benefit property or persons not assessed. Therefore, for special benefits to exist as a separate and distinct category from general benefits, the incidental or collateral effects of those special benefits are inherently part of those     City Council 7 – 22 6/3/2025 SATMD Management District Plan 17 May 14, 2025 special benefits. The mere fact that special benefits produce incidental or collateral effects that benefit property or persons not assessed does not convert any portion of those special benefits or their incidental or collateral effects into general benefits. (3) It is of the utmost importance that property-based districts created under this act have clarity regarding restrictions on assessments they may levy and the proper determination of special benefits. Legislative clarity with regard to this act will provide districts with clear instructions and courts with legislative intent regarding restrictions on property-based assessments, and the manner in which special benefits should be determined. 36602. Purpose of part The purpose of this part is to supplement previously enacted provisions of law that authorize cities to levy assessments within property and business improvement districts, to ensure that those assessments conform to all constitutional requirements and are determined and assessed in accordance with the guidance set forth in this act. This part does not affect or limit any other provisions of law authorizing or providing for the furnishing of improvements or activities or the raising of revenue for these purposes. 36603. Preemption of authority or charter city to adopt ordinances levying assessments Nothing in this part is intended to preempt the authority of a charter city to adopt ordinances providing for a different method of levying assessments for similar or additional purposes from those set forth in this part. A property and business improvement district created pursuant to this part is expressly exempt from the provisions of the Special Assessment Investigation, Limitation and Majority Protest Act of 1931 (Division 4 (commencing with Section 2800)). 36603.5. Part prevails over conflicting provisions Any provision of this part that conflicts with any other provision of law shall prevail over the other provision of law, as to districts created under this part. 36604. Severability This part is intended to be construed liberally and, if any provision is held invalid, the remaining provisions shall remain in full force and effect. Assessments levied under this part are not special taxes. ARTICLE 2.

Special benefit excludes general enhancement of property value. (b) “Special benefit” also includes, for purposes of a property-based district, a particular and distinct benefit provided directly to each assessed parcel within the district. Merely because parcels throughout an assessment district share the same special benefits does not make the benefits general. 36616. “Tenant” “Tenant” means an occupant pursuant to a lease of commercial space or a dwelling unit, other than an owner. ARTICLE 3. Prior Law 36617. Alternate method of financing certain improvements and activities; Effect on other provisions This part provides an alternative method of financing certain improvements and activities.

Initiation of proceedings; Petition of property or business owners in proposed district (a) Upon the submission of a written petition, signed by the property or business owners in the proposed district who will pay more than 50 percent of the assessments proposed to be levied, the city council may initiate proceedings to form a district by the adoption of a resolution expressing its intention to form a district. The amount of assessment attributable to property or a business owned by the same property or business owner that is in excess of 40 percent of the amount of all assessments proposed to be levied, shall not be included in determining whether the petition is signed by property or business owners who will pay more than 50 percent of the total amount of assessments proposed to be levied.

That summary shall include all of the following: (1) A map showing the boundaries of the district. (2) Information specifying where the complete management district plan can be obtained.

Contents of management district plan The management district plan shall include, but is not limited to, all of the following: (a) If the assessment will be levied on property, a map of the district in sufficient detail to locate each parcel of property and, if businesses are to be assessed, each business within the district. If the assessment will be levied on businesses, a map that identifies the district boundaries in sufficient detail to allow a business owner to reasonably determine whether a business is located within the district boundaries. If the assessment will be levied on property and businesses, a map of the district in sufficient detail to locate each parcel of property and to allow a business owner to reasonably determine whether a business is located within the district boundaries. (b) The name of the proposed district. (c) A description of the boundaries of the district, including the boundaries of benefit zones, proposed for establishment or extension in a manner sufficient to identify the affected property and businesses included, which may be made by reference to any plan or map that is on file with the clerk. The boundaries of a proposed property assessment district shall not overlap with the boundaries of another existing property assessment district created pursuant to this part. This part does not prohibit the boundaries of a district created pursuant to this part to overlap with other assessment districts established pursuant to other provisions of law, including, but not limited to, the Parking and Business Improvement Area Law of 1989 (Part 6 (commencing with Section 36500)). This part does not prohibit the boundaries of a business assessment district created pursuant to this part to overlap with another business assessment district created pursuant to this part. This part does not prohibit the boundaries of a business assessment district created pursuant to this part to overlap with a property assessment district created pursuant to this part. (d) The improvements, maintenance, and activities proposed for each year of operation of the district and the estimated cost thereof. If the improvements, maintenance, and activities proposed for each year of operation are the same, a description of the first year’s proposed improvements, maintenance, and activities     City Council 7 – 26 6/3/2025 SATMD Management District Plan 21 May 14, 2025 and a statement that the same improvements, maintenance, and activities are proposed for subsequent years shall satisfy the requirements of this subdivision. (e) The total annual amount proposed to be expended for improvements, maintenance, or activities, and debt service in each year of operation of the district. If the assessment is levied on businesses, this amount may be estimated based upon the assessment rate. If the total annual amount proposed to be expended in each year of operation of the district is not significantly different, the amount proposed to be expended in the initial year and a statement that a similar amount applies to subsequent years shall satisfy the requirements of this subdivision. (f) The proposed source or sources of financing, including the proposed method and basis of levying the assessment in sufficient detail to allow each property or business owner to calculate the amount of the assessment to be levied against their property or business. The plan also shall state whether bonds will be issued to finance improvements. (g) The time and manner of collecting the assessments. (h) The specific number of years in which assessments will be levied. In a new district, the maximum number of years shall be five. Upon renewal, a district shall have a term not to exceed 10 years. Notwithstanding these limitations, a district created pursuant to this part to finance capital improvements with bonds may levy assessments until the maximum maturity of the bonds. The management district plan may set forth specific increases in assessments for each year of operation of the district. (i) The proposed time for implementation and completion of the management district plan. (j) Any proposed rules and regulations to be applicable to the district. (k) (1) A list of the properties or businesses to be assessed, including the assessor’s parcel numbers for properties to be assessed, and a statement of the method or methods by which the expenses of a district will be imposed upon benefited real property or businesses, in proportion to the benefit received by the property or business, to defray the cost thereof. (2) In a property-based district, the proportionate special benefit derived by each identified parcel shall be determined exclusively in relationship to the entirety of the capital cost of a public improvement, the maintenance and operation expenses of a public improvement, or the cost of the activities. An assessment shall not be imposed on any parcel that exceeds the reasonable cost of the proportional special benefit conferred on that parcel. Only special benefits are assessable, and a property-based district shall separate the general benefits, if any, from the special benefits conferred on a parcel. Parcels within a property-based district that are owned or used by any city, public agency, the State of California, or the United States shall not be exempt from assessment unless the governmental entity can demonstrate by clear and convincing evidence that those publicly owned parcels in fact receive no special benefit. The value of any incidental, secondary, or collateral effects that arise from the improvements, maintenance, or activities of a property- based district and that benefit property or persons not assessed shall not be deducted from the entirety of the cost of any special benefit or affect the proportionate special benefit derived by each identified parcel. (3) In a property-based district, properties throughout the district may share the same special benefits. In a district with boundaries that define which parcels are to receive improvements, maintenance, or activities over and above those services provided by the city, the improvements, maintenance, or activities themselves may constitute a special benefit. The city may impose assessments that are less than the proportional special benefit conferred, but shall not impose assessments that exceed the reasonable costs of the proportional special benefit conferred. Because one or more parcels pay less than the special benefit conferred does not necessarily mean that other parcels are assessed more than the reasonable cost of their special benefit. (l) In a property-based district, a detailed engineer’s report prepared by a registered professional engineer certified by the State of California supporting all assessments contemplated by the management district plan. (m) Any other item or matter required to be incorporated therein by the city council. 36623. Procedure to levy assessment (a) If a city council proposes to levy a new or increased property assessment, the notice and protest and hearing procedure shall comply with Section 53753 of the Government Code. (b) If a city council proposes to levy a new or increased business assessment, the notice and protest and hearing procedure shall comply with Section 54954.6 of the Government Code, except that notice shall be     City Council 7 – 27 6/3/2025 SATMD Management District Plan 22 May 14, 2025 mailed to the owners of the businesses proposed to be assessed. A protest may be made orally or in writing by any interested person. Every written protest shall be filed with the clerk at or before the time fixed for the public hearing. The city council may waive any irregularity in the form or content of any written protest. A written protest may be withdrawn in writing at any time before the conclusion of the public hearing. Each written protest shall contain a description of the business in which the person subscribing the protest is interested sufficient to identify the business and, if a person subscribing is not shown on the official records of the city as the owner of the business, the protest shall contain or be accompanied by written evidence that the person subscribing is the owner of the business or the authorized representative. A written protest that does not comply with this section shall not be counted in determining a majority protest. If written protests are received from the owners or authorized representatives of businesses in the proposed district that will pay 50 percent or more of the assessments proposed to be levied and protests are not withdrawn so as to reduce the protests to less than 50 percent, no further proceedings to levy the proposed assessment against such businesses, as contained in the resolution of intention, shall be taken for a period of one year from the date of the finding of a majority protest by the city council. (c) If a city council proposes to conduct a single proceeding to levy both a new or increased property assessment and a new or increased business assessment, the notice and protest and hearing procedure for the property assessment shall comply with subdivision (a), and the notice and protest and hearing procedure for the business assessment shall comply with subdivision (b). If a majority protest is received from either the property or business owners, that respective portion of the assessment shall not be levied. The remaining portion of the assessment may be levied unless the improvement or other special benefit was proposed to be funded by assessing both property and business owners. 36624. Changes to proposed assessments At the conclusion of the public hearing to establish the district, the city council may adopt, revise, change, reduce, or modify the proposed assessment or the type or types of improvements, maintenance, and activities to be funded with the revenues from the assessments. Proposed assessments may only be revised by reducing any or all of them. At the public hearing, the city council may only make changes in, to, or from the boundaries of the proposed property and business improvement district that will exclude territory that will not benefit from the proposed improvements, maintenance, and activities. Any modifications, revisions, reductions, or changes to the proposed assessment district shall be reflected in the notice and map recorded pursuant to Section 36627. 36625. Resolution of formation (a) If the city council, following the public hearing, decides to establish a proposed property and business improvement district, the city council shall adopt a resolution of formation that shall include, but is not limited to, all of the following: (1) A brief description of the proposed improvements, maintenance, and activities, the amount of the proposed assessment, a statement as to whether the assessment will be levied on property, businesses, or both within the district, a statement on whether bonds will be issued, and a description of the exterior boundaries of the proposed district, which may be made by reference to any plan or map that is on file with the clerk. The descriptions and statements need not be detailed and shall be sufficient if they enable an owner to generally identify the nature and extent of the improvements, maintenance, and activities and the location and extent of the proposed district. (2) The number, date of adoption, and title of the resolution of intention. (3) The time and place where the public hearing was held concerning the establishment of the district. (4) A determination regarding any protests received. The city shall not establish the district or levy assessments if a majority protest was received.

(6) A statement that the improvements, maintenance, and activities to be conferred on businesses and properties in the district will be funded by the levy of the assessments. The revenue from the levy of assessments within a district shall not be used to provide improvements, maintenance, or activities outside the district or for any purpose other than the purposes specified in the resolution of intention, as modified by the city council at the hearing concerning establishment of the district. Notwithstanding the foregoing, improvements and activities that must be provided outside the     City Council 7 – 28 6/3/2025 SATMD Management District Plan 23 May 14, 2025 district boundaries to create a special or specific benefit to the assessed parcels or businesses may be provided, but shall be limited to marketing or signage pointing to the district. (7) A finding that the property or businesses within the area of the property and business improvement district will be benefited by the improvements, maintenance, and activities funded by the proposed assessments, and, for a property-based district, that property within the district will receive a special benefit. (8) In a property-based district, the total amount of all special benefits to be conferred on the properties within the property-based district. (b) The adoption of the resolution of formation and, if required, recordation of the notice and map pursuant to Section 36627 shall constitute the levy of an assessment in each of the fiscal years referred to in the management district plan. 36627. Notice and assessment diagram Following adoption of the resolution establishing district assessments on properties pursuant to Section 36625, the clerk shall record a notice and an assessment diagram pursuant to Section 3114. No other provision of Division 4.5 (commencing with Section 3100) applies to an assessment district created pursuant to this part. 36628. Establishment of separate benefit zones within district; Categories of businesses The city council may establish one or more separate benefit zones within the district based upon the degree of benefit derived from the improvements or activities to be provided within the benefit zone and may impose a different assessment within each benefit zone. If the assessment is to be levied on businesses, the city council may also define categories of businesses based upon the degree of benefit that each will derive from the improvements or activities to be provided within the district and may impose a different assessment or rate of assessment on each category of business, or on each category of business within each zone. 36628.5. Assessments on businesses or property owners The city council may levy assessments on businesses or on property owners, or a combination of the two, pursuant to this part. The city council shall structure the assessments in whatever manner it determines corresponds with the distribution of benefits from the proposed improvements, maintenance, and activities, provided that any property- based assessment conforms with the requirements set forth in paragraph (2) of subdivision (k) of Section 36622. 36629. Provisions and procedures applicable to benefit zones and business categories All provisions of this part applicable to the establishment, modification, or disestablishment of a property and business improvement district apply to the establishment, modification, or disestablishment of benefit zones or categories of business. The city council shall, to establish, modify, or disestablish a benefit zone or category of business, follow the procedure to establish, modify, or disestablish a property and business improvement district. 36630. Expiration of district; Creation of new district If a property and business improvement district expires due to the time limit set pursuant to subdivision (h) of Section 36622, a new management district plan may be created and the district may be renewed pursuant to this part. CHAPTER 3. Assessments 36631. Time and manner of collection of assessments; Delinquent payments The collection of the assessments levied pursuant to this part shall be made at the time and in the manner set forth by the city council in the resolution levying the assessment. Assessments levied on real property may be collected at the same time and in the same manner as for the ad valorem property tax, and may provide for the same lien priority and penalties for delinquent payment. All delinquent payments for assessments levied pursuant to this part may be charged interest and penalties.     City Council 7 – 29 6/3/2025 SATMD Management District Plan 24 May 14, 2025 36632.

The city council may classify businesses for purposes of determining the benefit to the businesses of the improvements and activities provided pursuant to this part. (c) Properties zoned solely for residential use, or that are zoned for agricultural use, are conclusively presumed not to benefit from the improvements and service funded through these assessments, and shall not be subject to any assessment pursuant to this part. 36633. Time for contesting validity of assessment The validity of an assessment levied under this part shall not be contested in an action or proceeding unless the action or proceeding is commenced within 30 days after the resolution levying the assessment is adopted pursuant to Section 36625. An appeal from a final judgment in an action or proceeding shall be perfected within 30 days after the entry of judgment. 36634. Service contracts authorized to establish levels of city services The city council may execute baseline service contracts that would establish levels of city services that would continue after a property and business improvement district has been formed. 36635. Request to modify management district plan The owners’ association may, at any time, request that the city council modify the management district plan. Any modification of the management district plan shall be made pursuant to this chapter. 36636. Modification of plan by resolution after public hearing; Adoption of resolution of intention (a) Upon the written request of the owners’ association, the city council may modify the management district plan after conducting one public hearing on the proposed modifications. The city council may modify the improvements and activities to be funded with the revenue derived from the levy of the assessments by adopting a resolution determining to make the modifications after holding a public hearing on the proposed modifications. If the modification includes the levy of a new or increased assessment, the city council shall comply with Section 36623. Notice of all other public hearings pursuant to this section shall comply with both of the following: (1) The resolution of intention shall be published in a newspaper of general circulation in the city once at least seven days before the public hearing.

Bonds authorized; Procedure; Restriction on reduction or termination of assessments (a) The city council may, by resolution, determine and declare that bonds shall be issued to finance the estimated cost of some or all of the proposed improvements described in the resolution of formation adopted pursuant to Section 36625, if the resolution of formation adopted pursuant to that section provides for the issuance of bonds, under the Improvement Bond Act of 1915 (Division 10 (commencing with Section 8500)) or in conjunction with Marks-Roos Local Bond Pooling Act of 1985 (Article 4 (commencing with Section 6584) of Chapter 5 of Division 7 of Title 1 of the Government Code). Either act, as the case may be, shall govern the proceedings relating to the issuance of bonds, although proceedings under the Bond Act of 1915 may be modified by the city council as necessary to accommodate assessments levied upon business pursuant to this part. (b) The resolution adopted pursuant to subdivision (a) shall generally describe the proposed improvements specified in the resolution of formation adopted pursuant to Section 36625, set forth the estimated cost of those improvements, specify the number of annual installments and the fiscal years during which they are to be collected. The amount of debt service to retire the bonds shall not exceed the amount of revenue estimated to be raised from assessments over 30 years. (c) Notwithstanding any other provision of this part, assessments levied to pay the principal and interest on any bond issued pursuant to this section shall not be reduced or terminated if doing so would interfere with the timely retirement of the debt. CHAPTER 4. Governance 36650. Report by owners’ association; Approval or modification by city council (a) The owners’ association shall cause to be prepared a report for each fiscal year, except the first year, for which assessments are to be levied and collected to pay the costs of the improvements, maintenance, and activities described in the report.

The report may propose changes, including, but not limited to, the boundaries of the property and business improvement district or any benefit zones within the district, the basis and method of levying the assessments, and any changes in the classification of property, including any categories of business, if a classification is used. (b) The report shall be filed with the clerk and shall refer to the property and business improvement district by name, specify the fiscal year to which the report applies, and, with respect to that fiscal year, shall contain all of the following information: (1) Any proposed changes in the boundaries of the property and business improvement district or in any benefit zones or classification of property or businesses within the district.

Designation of owners’ association to provide improvements, maintenance, and activities The management district plan may, but is not required to, state that an owners’ association will provide the improvements, maintenance, and activities described in the management district plan. If the management district plan designates an owners’ association, the city shall contract with the designated nonprofit corporation to provide services. CHAPTER 5. Renewal 36660. Renewal of district; Transfer or refund of remaining revenues; District term limit (a) Any district previously established whose term has expired, or will expire, may be renewed by following the procedures for establishment as provided in this chapter. (b) Upon renewal, any remaining revenues derived from the levy of assessments, or any revenues derived from the sale of assets acquired with the revenues, shall be transferred to the renewed district. If the renewed district includes additional parcels or businesses not included in the prior district, the remaining revenues shall be spent to benefit only the parcels or businesses in the prior district. If the renewed district does not include parcels or businesses included in the prior district, the remaining revenues attributable to these parcels shall be refunded to the owners of these parcels or businesses. (c) Upon renewal, a district shall have a term not to exceed 10 years, or, if the district is authorized to issue bonds, until the maximum maturity of those bonds. There is no requirement that the boundaries, assessments, improvements, or activities of a renewed district be the same as the original or prior district. CHAPTER 6. Disestablishment 36670. Circumstances permitting disestablishment of district; Procedure (a) Any district established or extended pursuant to the provisions of this part, where there is no indebtedness, outstanding and unpaid, incurred to accomplish any of the purposes of the district, may be disestablished by resolution by the city council in either of the following circumstances: (1) If the city council finds there has been misappropriation of funds, malfeasance, or a violation of law in connection with the management of the district, it shall notice a hearing on disestablishment. (2) During the operation of the district, there shall be a 30-day period each year in which assessees may request disestablishment of the district. The first such period shall begin one year after the date of establishment of the district and shall continue for 30 days. The next such 30-day period shall begin two years after the date of the establishment of the district. Each successive year of operation of the district shall have such a 30-day period. Upon the written petition of the owners or authorized representatives of real property or the owners or authorized representatives of businesses in the district who pay 50 percent or more of the assessments levied, the city council shall pass a resolution of intention to disestablish the district. The city council shall notice a hearing on disestablishment. (b) The city council shall adopt a resolution of intention to disestablish the district prior to the public hearing required by this section. The resolution shall state the reason for the disestablishment, shall state the time and place of the public hearing, and shall contain a proposal to dispose of any assets acquired with the revenues of the assessments levied within the property and business improvement district. The notice of the hearing on disestablishment required by this section shall be given by mail to the property owner of each parcel or to the owner of each business subject to assessment in the district, as appropriate. The city shall conduct the public hearing not less than 30 days after mailing the notice to the property or business owners. The public hearing shall be held not more than 60 days after the adoption of the resolution of intention. 36671. Refund of remaining revenues upon disestablishment or expiration without renewal of district; Calculation of refund; Use of outstanding revenue collected after disestablishment of district     City Council 7 – 32 6/3/2025 SATMD Management District Plan 27 May 14, 2025 (a) Upon the disestablishment or expiration without renewal of a district, any remaining revenues, after all outstanding debts are paid, derived from the levy of assessments, or derived from the sale of assets acquired with the revenues, or from bond reserve or construction funds, shall be refunded to the owners of the property or businesses then located and operating within the district in which assessments were levied by applying the same method and basis that was used to calculate the assessments levied in the fiscal year in which the district is disestablished or expires. All outstanding assessment revenue collected after disestablishment shall be spent on improvements and activities specified in the management district plan. (b) If the disestablishment occurs before an assessment is levied for the fiscal year, the method and basis that was used to calculate the assessments levied in the immediate prior fiscal year shall be used to calculate the amount of any refund.     City Council 7 – 33 6/3/2025 SATMD Management District Plan 28 May 14, 2025 APPENDIX 2 – ASSESSED BUSINESSES Business Name Business Address Best Western OC Airport North 2700 S Hotel Terrace Dr Santa Ana, CA 92705 Comfort Inn & Suites OC John Wayne Airport 2620 S Hotel Terrace Dr Santa Ana, CA 92705 Courtyard By Marriott 311J9 3002 S Harbor Blvd Santa Ana, CA 92704 Courtyard By Marriott Santa Ana 8 E Macarthur Pl Santa Ana, CA 92707 Lakeside Orange County Airport Hotel 7 Hutton Centre Dr Santa Ana, CA 92707 Hotel Zessa, Doubletree by Hilton 201 E Macarthur Blvd Santa Ana, CA 92707 Embassy Suites 1325 E Dyer Rd Santa Ana, CA 92705 Hampton Inn & Suites 2720 S Hotel Terrace Dr Santa Ana, CA 92705 Holiday Inn 2726 S Grand Ave Santa Ana, CA 92705 Holiday Inn Express & Suites Santa Ana 1600 E 1St St Santa Ana, CA 92701 La Quinta Inn & Suites 2721 S Hotel Terrace Dr Santa Ana, CA 92705 Mainstay Suites by Choice Hotels 2701 S Hotel Terrace Dr Santa Ana, CA 92705 Motel 6 Santa Ana 1623 E 1St St Santa Ana, CA 92701 Motel 6 Santa Ana Irvine Orange County Airport 1717 E Dyer Rd Santa Ana, CA 92705 Red Roof Inns 2600 N Main St Santa Ana, CA 92705 Santa Ana California Lodge 2909 S Bristol St Santa Ana, CA 92704 Sonesta Simply Suites Orange County Airport 2600 S Red Hill Ave Santa Ana, CA 92705     City Council 7 – 34 6/3/2025 EXHIBIT 2 City Council Request for Information Summary Travel Santa Ana – TMD Renewal & Term Extension Request Overview Travel Santa Ana, the City’s designated destination marketing organization (DMO), is seeking City Council support to renew the Santa Ana Tourism Marketing District (TMD) and extend its term from five years to ten. Having completed its initial five-year term, the district is now in a strong position to build on its progress and expand Santa Ana’s presence in the tourism and hospitality market. What’s Been Accomplished So Far Over the past five years, Travel Santa Ana has: • Helped boost hotel occupancy and brought more visibility to Santa Ana as a destination. • Operated strategically despite having the smallest budget among the nine Orange County DMOs—roughly $500,000 less than Travel Costa Mesa. • Built strong relationships with local hotel partners, and with hotel operators making up the majority of the Travel Santa Ana Board. • Established a Marketing Advisory Group with the objective of creating synergy among Santa Ana marketers, including The Frida Cinema, Bowers Museum, Santa Ana Zoo, John Wayne Airport, Discovery Cube, MainPlace Mall, and Mater Dei High School. • Supported Santa Ana restaurants by partnering with the Orange County Restaurant Association to allow complimentary participation in the annual OC Restaurant Week. • Developed marketing campaigns to promote Santa Ana’s arts and culture, public art, small businesses, and events.     City Council 7 – 35 6/3/2025 2 Why Extend to 10 Years? 1. More Time to Execute Long-Term Plans The 1994 Law only allows for TMDs initially to be formed for a maximum of five years, and upon renewal they can have up to a ten-year term. A 10-year term gives Travel Santa Ana the runway to plan and execute marketing campaigns and improvements that require time to produce measurable results. 2. Confidence from a Solid Track Record With five successful years under its belt, Travel Santa Ana has earned the trust of its hotel partners and is ready for the next phase of growth. 3. Less Time Spent on Renewals Going to Council or gathering petitions every few years takes time and resources. A 10- year term keeps things efficient and focused on results. The TMD hoteliers are in support of a 10-year term which would allow Travel Santa Ana to focus on sales and marketing efforts and revenue to be directed towards those efforts. 4. We’re in Good Company About 90% of all TMD renewals in California opt for a 10-year term. In Southern California alone, 21 cities—including Los Angeles, Torrance, Ontario, Pasadena, Huntington Beach, Lancaster, Murrieta, Burbank, and Santa Barbara—have a 10-year term. Assessment Rate and Oversight • Current rate: 2% • Every 2 years, the TSA Board may increase the rate by 0.5% up to a maximum of 4%. • If increased, the rate may later be decreased, but not below 2%. • The maximum increase or decrease allowed in any 2-year period is 0.5%. A proposed increase would be used to address a specific issue, such as recovering from a downturn in tourism, or expanding marketing efforts into new or underserved markets and adapting strategies to enhance destination competitiveness. The ability to potentially increase the assessment would allow the Santa Ana hoteliers flexibility with the funding source to further boost tourism and the local economy.     City Council 7 – 36 6/3/2025 3 The five Santa Ana hoteliers who serve on the Travel Santa Ana Board of Directors would make a recommendation to increase the assessment based on variables like the impact to occupancy, and the potential overall economic impact. Travel Santa Ana also reports to TMD hoteliers monthly, keeping lines of communication open and ensuring performance is transparent. The TMD hoteliers are in support of the increase ladder. Approximately 43% of California Tourism Marketing Districts have an increase ladder. Other TMDs with Built-In Rate Flexibility City/County Initial Rate Max Rate Burbank 1% 3% Los Angeles 2% 3% Santa Barbara South Coast 2% 3% West Hollywood 3% 4% Pasadena 3.89% 4.89% Lancaster 3% 5% Rancho Cordova 4.5% 12% These examples show that flexible rate structures are common, allowing districts to adapt over time. Travel Santa Ana is not just renewing a program—it’s positioning Santa Ana for sustained growth in the tourism economy. The proposed 10-year term reflects what’s working in other cities and gives the organization the tools and time it needs to drive results for local hotels, small businesses, and the broader economy. The renewal of the Santa Ana Tourism Marketing District — including the proposed 10- year term and the assessment increase ladder — is supported by the 17 hoteliers who fund the district.     City Council 7 – 37 6/3/2025 City Manager’s Office www.santa-ana.org/cm Item # 8 City of Santa Ana 20 Civic Center Plaza, Santa Ana, CA 92701 Staff Report June 3, 2025 TOPIC: Federal Funding Update AGENDA TITLE Federal Funding Update RECOMMENDED ACTION Receive and file.

GOVERNMENT CODE §84308 APPLIES: No DISCUSSION Annually, the Finance and Management Services Agency (FMSA) reviews a listing of unclaimed monies that are older than three (3) years. The nature of these monies includes unclaimed monies related to deposits, commissary account, and other payments made by the City. State law allows the City to publish a notification of the unclaimed monies, offering the public an opportunity to claim them. In the absence of any claims, the City can recognize them as revenue. State law also allows the City to transfer unclaimed monies, held for a period of one (1) year, without publication for individual items less than $15 or any amount if the depositor’s name is unknown. FMSA has identified $53,512.50 of unclaimed monies that can be recorded as revenue in the General Fund for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2025. The breakout of the unclaimed monies is as follows: Funds $15 or Greater Amount Uncashed checks $53,072.79 Funds Less Than $15 Amount Uncashed checks $ 439.71 Grand Total $53,512.50     City Council 9 – 1 6/3/2025 Recognition of Revenue for Certain Unclaimed Monies from Various City Funds June 3, 2025 Page 2 5 0 8 1 Due Diligence Efforts Various departments made efforts to contact payees and depositors before the list was compiled for noticing purposes. To ensure the public was aware of the existence of unclaimed monies on file with the City, FMSA staff published a Public Notice (Exhibit 1) in the Orange County Register in April 2025 for two (2) successive weeks in accordance with the applicable Government Code sections. The City did not receive any inquiries regarding the unclaimed monies as a result of the publication. Part of the unclaimed monies included individual items that were less than $15. These monies were not included in the publication per Government Code section 50055. If the City Council approves the Recommended Action, unclaimed monies in the amount of $53,512.50 will be recorded as revenue in the General Fund, in accordance with the Government Code section 50053. ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT There is no environmental impact associated with this action. FISCAL IMPACT Unclaimed monies in the amount of $53,512.50 will be reclassified to the General Fund (account no. 01102002-57010 – Miscellaneous Recoveries). EXHIBIT(S) 1.

Receive and file the Fiscal Year 2024-25 Third Quarter Budget Update. 2. Approve the recommended appropriation adjustments. (Requires five affirmative votes) GOVERNMENT CODE §84308 APPLIES: No DISCUSSION The FY2024-25 Third Quarter Budget Update provides a General Fund snapshot at the 75% mark of the fiscal year. This report includes updates to revenue estimates, recommended appropriation adjustments, summary information, and a full-time staff vacancy report as of March 31, 2025. Other than the funds noted below in the Restricted Fund Adjustments section, there is nothing significant to report for other City funds. General Fund Summary     City Council 10 – 1 6/3/2025 FY2024-25 Third Quarter Budget Update & Proposed Appropriation Adjustment June 3, 2025 Page 2 5 0 8 4 Details on the updated revenue estimates and recommended expenditure reductions are provided in the following sections. The revised recurring revenue estimates lowered the required 18% reserve, which is calculated only on recurring revenues, by $129,600. Based on the net changes in revenues and expenditures, along with the revised reserve requirement, the estimated spendable fund balance as of June 30, 2025 increased by a net amount of $199,070. The new estimated spendable fund balance is now $13.9 million. The materials provided for the May 20 Budget Work Session indicated an estimated ending spendable balance of $1.4 million. This balance reflects proposed FY 2025-26 one-time allocations, including $10.4 million for various projects and other one-time uses, and an additional $1 million deposit to the Section 115 Pension Trust. In addition, the City’s General Fund Reserve Policy requires maintaining a reserve equal to 18% of annual recurring revenues. With the projected increase in recurring revenues for FY 2025-26, approximately $1.1 million of the available balance as of June 30, 2025 was shifted to the reserve, reducing the remaining amount available for allocation. After accounting for these proposed uses, the ending estimated spendable balance is $1.4 million. Overall, after accounting for the adjustments to both revenues and spending, the General Fund remains balanced, with recurring revenues exceeding recurring expenditures by $14,711. General Fund Revenues A summary of General Fund revenues follows.     City Council 10 – 2 6/3/2025 FY2024-25 Third Quarter Budget Update & Proposed Appropriation Adjustment June 3, 2025 Page 3 5 0 8 4 Through March 31, 2025, the City received approximately $249.2 million in General Fund revenues, representing 60.8% of the annual budgeted estimates. Because revenues for FY 2024–25 will continue to be accrued through the end of August, this collection rate is consistent with expectations and is on track to meet revenue estimates. As noted in the Mid-Year Budget Update presented to City Council on March 4, 2025, staff previously made certain adjustments to revenue estimates. For this Third Quarter Budget Update, staff has completed a further review of revenues based on nine months of actual collections and is recommending several additional adjustments to better align with year-end estimates. Notable updates are summarized below. Jail Revenues The City's jail revenue continues to decline due to staffing challenges and deferred maintenance, which have limited the jail's ability to operate at full capacity. Based on nine months of billing and activity, staff decreased the jail revenue estimate by $3,820,000, resulting in a revised budget total of $10,330,000. To address these challenges, staff has implemented several improvements, including adding an additional jail maintenance worker and securing funding to address deferred maintenance needs. As part of the upcoming FY 2025-26 budget process, staff is also proposing pay adjustments for Correctional Officers to improve recruitment and retention, as well as funding for a Pay-to-Stay program designed to generate additional revenue. Both staffing and facility improvements will be necessary to improve jail capacity and support future revenue recovery. Planning and Building Charges and Fees Based on nine months of activity through March 31, 2025, staff decreased the plan check and permit revenue estimate by $3,200,000, resulting in a revised budget total of $8,191,000. Plan check revenues are generated during the review of development plans to ensure compliance with building codes, zoning regulations, and other applicable standards. Once plans are approved, building permits are issued, generating additional permit fee revenue. Both plan check and permit activities are sensitive to development trends and broader economic conditions. The adjustment reflects a continued slowdown in development activity, as higher interest rates have led many developers to delay or pause new projects. According to the National Association of Home Builders, elevated borrowing costs remain a major factor slowing construction nationwide. This trend is expected to continue into Fiscal Year 2025-26 and staff will incorporate updated projections into the upcoming budget process.     City Council 10 – 3 6/3/2025 FY2024-25 Third Quarter Budget Update & Proposed Appropriation Adjustment June 3, 2025 Page 4 5 0 8 4 Paramedic Service Charge The Public Provider Ground Emergency Medical Transportation (PP-GEMT) program provides supplemental federal reimbursement to public agencies for the cost of emergency medical transports for Medi-Cal patients. To further support agencies, a new federal program increasing reimbursement rates took effect on January 1, 2023, resulting in higher collections than originally estimated. Based on year-to-date activity, staff increased the Paramedic Services Charge revenue estimate by $3,500,000, resulting in a revised budget total of $15,100,000. Investment Earnings Initial estimates assumed that American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA) funding balances would significantly decrease by the December 2024 obligation deadline. However, because major projects take time to complete, such as the Main Library renovation, Memorial Park improvements, and others, project balances have remained higher than anticipated. Combined with continued elevated interest rates, the City has experienced higher investment earnings than originally projected. Accordingly, staff has updated the investment earnings estimate by $1 million, resulting in a revised total of $3,150,000. Business License Tax Business Tax revenues continue to exceed original estimates, supported by ongoing compliance efforts led by Treasury Services staff. Based on continued strong performance through the third quarter, staff recommends increasing the revenue estimate by an additional $560,000. This brings the revised total for FY 2024-25 to $18,010,000. Refuse Franchise Fee Update The Refuse Franchise Fee revenue estimate was previously updated during the Mid-Year Report based on available data. Following continued strong collections through March, the estimate has been increased by an additional $740,000, bringing the total to $10,240,000 for FY 2024-25. The increase is primarily driven by higher waste collection rates implemented by the City's hauler. As franchise fees are calculated as a percentage of the hauler’s gross receipts, these rate adjustments have resulted in higher revenues to the City. Utility Users Tax – Electric As part of the Mid-Year Budget Report on March 4, 2025, staff adjusted the Utility Users Tax revenue estimate for electric services to reflect higher-than-expected receipts. Based on continued strong collections through the third quarter ending March 31, 2025, staff has adjusted the revenue estimate upward by an additional $500,000. This adjustment accounts for sustained higher electricity rates implemented by Southern California Edison (SCE) and elevated demand. The revised Utility Users Tax – Electric revenue budget for FY 2024-25 is now $18,800,000.     City Council 10 – 4 6/3/2025 FY2024-25 Third Quarter Budget Update & Proposed Appropriation Adjustment June 3, 2025 Page 5 5 0 8 4 City Event Sponsorship The Parks, Recreation, and Community Services Agency has actively pursued sponsorships to help reduce the City’s share of event costs. To support this, staff recommends appropriating $26,750 to the City Events budget, offset by sponsorship revenue received this fiscal year. These funds will help address cost overages often caused by last-minute requests and expanded event scope. General Fund Expenditures A summary of General Fund expenditures follows. As of March 31, 2025, General Fund expenditures are at 61% of budget, which is relatively consistent with the prior year when expenditures were at 62%. In accordance with the City’s Budget and Reserve Policy, the General Fund budget must remain balanced, with recurring expenditures not exceeding recurring revenues. To support this requirement and in response to the lower revenue estimates noted above, staff is recommending one-time expenditure reductions. These reductions reflect a $1,036,000 decrease in the salary budget, achieved through vacancy savings in select departments.     City Council 10 – 5 6/3/2025 FY2024-25 Third Quarter Budget Update & Proposed Appropriation Adjustment June 3, 2025 Page 6 5 0 8 4 Litigation Costs Staff also recommends a one-time adjustment to increase appropriations in the Non- Departmental budget by $300,000 for higher than expected litigation expenses. To account for this trend, the FY 2025-26 Proposed Budget includes a one-time increase in litigation funding. Restricted Fund Adjustments Water Enterprise On June 4, 2024, the City Council approved the sale of Water Revenue Bonds to finance $40 million in high-priority improvements to the City’s water system. These proceeds from the Water Fund support the design, acquisition, and construction of capital improvements. In accordance with governmental fund accounting standards, capital expenditures are recorded in the Acquisition and Construction Fund. A housekeeping adjustment has been made to move $14,745,008 in revenue originally recorded in FY 2023–24 to the current fiscal year. This update ensures the Acquisition and Construction Fund’s Spendable Fund Balance accurately reflects reimbursements scheduled for this year and eliminates the current deficit. A second housekeeping adjustment is also required to increase the transfer from Fund 060, the Water Revenue Fund, to Fund 066, the Acquisition and Construction Fund, by $10,666,969 to ensure proper alignment of resources within the Water Enterprise. SoCal Gas Community Investment Fund The City’s Neighborhood Initiatives and Environmental Services (NIES) section of the Planning Division is requesting an appropriation adjustment to recognize $50,000 in advanced grant funds from the SoCal Gas Community Investment Fund and appropriate the same amount to Misc Operating Expense. Monies will be used to purchase purchasing air quality monitors, which monitors air quality on city-owned property and some residential properties, depending on eligibility criteria. This Fund is facilitated by the California Community Foundation, for the Air Pollution Monitors and Air Purifiers (APMAP) project. This initiative addresses significant pollution burdens in the city's most disadvantaged communities, identified by CalEnviroScreen 4.0 and California Healthy Places Index as ranking 90% or above in pollution burden. The grant will fund the project's initial phases focusing on: (1) Community empowerment through education (2) Installation of air quality monitors to improve data accessibility for residents. By bridging data gaps and promoting environmental awareness, this project aims to enhance climate resilience and air quality in vulnerable neighborhoods through December 2026.     City Council 10 – 6 6/3/2025 FY2024-25 Third Quarter Budget Update & Proposed Appropriation Adjustment June 3, 2025 Page 7 5 0 8 4 Police Revenue Bonds The Police Department’s Holding Facility Debt Service was paid off in FY2023-24, leaving an immaterial remaining balance. To formally close the Fund, staff is recommending that the remaining cash balance of $53,470 transfers to the General Fund, which provided most of the funding for the debt service payments. There was a remaining balance in the Fund because the City used interest proceeds in the trustee account to supplement the debt service payments. This resulted in the total payments being less than the total amount transferred from the General Fund. RDA: Successor Agency Fund Santa Ana’s Successor Agency finalized the sale of the Third Street and Main Street Parking Lot to the City on April 21, 2025. In accordance with Long Range Property Management Plan approved by the State Department of Finance, the proceeds from this transaction must be remitted to the County of Orange Auditor-Controller for distribution among the various taxing entities. Revenue has been updated to reflect $190,000 from the sale. A corresponding appropriation adjustment of the same amount is requested to authorize payment to the Orange County Auditor-Controller. ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT There is no environmental impact associated with this action. FISCAL IMPACT The General Fund Fiscal Impact is detailed on page 2 of this report. Exhibit 1 lists the line item changes to revenue estimates and recommended appropriation adjustments. After accounting for all the revenue and expenditure adjustments, the net impact is a $199,070 increase to the General Fund’s estimated Spendable Fund Balance as of June 30, 2025. EXHIBIT(S) 1.

GOVERNMENT CODE §84308 APPLIES: Yes DISCUSSION Ensuring safe, equitable, and accessible facilities is an important part of providing Library Services to the community. Installing security cameras at each of the Library locations will help to meet this goal. For the new Delhi Library Branch, Siemens Industry, Inc. (“Siemens”) will provide, install, and program six (6) IP security cameras, associated hardware, cabling, server, switch, uninterruptible power supply, and wall cabinet. Siemens will also provide device licenses and ensure the camera system integrates into the City’s existing security platform. The cameras will be located within the Library’s leased space, both inside and within the Library’s gated exterior patio. Construction of the Delhi Library is anticipated to be complete in July 2025. The Santa Ana Police Department currently has an agreement with Siemens for on- going, City-wide video surveillance system maintenance, repair, and installation services through Request for Proposal (RFP) No. 20-053. Siemens has provided security camera system services to the City since 2013. Santa Ana City Municipal Code Section 2-807 authorizes the City to award agreements following a competitive bidding process by other public agencies meeting the City’s     City Council 11 – 1 6/3/2025 Delhi Library Branch Security Cameras June 3, 2025 Page 2 5 0 7 2 requirements. RFP No. 20-053, as completed by the Santa Ana Police Department, meets this requirement. The Library Services Agency is seeking a new agreement with Siemens in order to help ensure that the Santa Ana Police Department is able to maintain proper compliance with federal requirements for grant funding related to the existing agreement. ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT There is no environmental impact associated with this action. FISCAL IMPACT Funds are available in the current FY 24-25 budget in following account. Any funds not expended at the end of the fiscal year will be presented to City Council for approval of carryovers to FY 25-26. Future fiscal year funding for ongoing camera system maintenance in the estimated annual amount of $5,000 to $8,000 will be included in the Library’s proposed budget for City Council consideration.

GOVERNMENT CODE §84308 APPLIES: Yes DISCUSSION The Santiago Park Archers Club is a non-profit organization and an official charter club of the National Field Archery Association. The club meets at the Santiago Archery Range every Tuesday evening from 6:30 p.m. to 8:30 p.m. Additionally, the club hosts two tournaments each year, attracting several other archery clubs from across the United States. Established in the 1970s, the Santiago Park Archers Club has been an active user of the Santiago Park Archery Range for over 40 years. Throughout this time, they have consistently held permits to access the range and have demonstrated a commitment to maintaining the facility, often leaving it in better condition than they found it. Additionally, the Archers Club has organized clean-up efforts in the Santiago Park area with the involvement of their members. Recently, the Santiago Park Archers Club engaged in discussions with the Parks, Recreation, and Community Services Agency (PRCSA) to establish a long-term facilities use agreement. This agreement will enhance the City’s protections by requiring additional insurance from the Club, while the City will waive fees for two extra tournaments hosted by the Club. This collaboration will simplify administrative processes by reducing the need for multiple rental permits.     City Council 12 – 1 6/3/2025 5 0 6 8 Facility Use Agreement with Santiago Park Archers Club June 3, 2025 Page 2 The annual cost is based on the established fees of the Group 2 Youth Non-Profit Organization rate detailed in the Miscellaneous Fee Schedule, less the amount related to the waived fees for the two additional tournaments. Given the organization's non-profit status and its involvement with youth participants, staff determined it was appropriate to apply the Group 2 rate fee. Should there be any modifications to the Fee Schedule, the annual rate will be adjusted accordingly to reflect the current Adopted Fee Schedule. Staff recommends that the City Council approve the facilities use agreement with the Santiago Park Archers Club. This agreement would grant the Club access to the Santiago Park Archery Range for ongoing archery-related activities, strengthen protection for the City against liability, and decrease the time and costs associated with facility rental permits for the Santa Ana Archery Range while facilitating a safe environment for these activities. ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT There is no environmental impact associated with this action. FISCAL IMPACT Funds will be deposited in the Parks, Recreation and Community Services, General Fund Revenue Account (01113002-57361 - PRCSA Recreation Facility Rental).

DBA Advanced Technology Information Management Systems for Jail Management System Maintenance (General Fund & Non-General Fund) RECOMMENDED ACTION Authorize the City Manager to execute an agreement with Advanced Technology Information Management Systems for jail management system software maintenance and customer support in a total amount not to exceed $523,915 for a term beginning June 3, 2025 through December 18, 2027, including two optional one-year extensions and a contingency amount (Agreement A-2025-XXX). GOVERNMENT CODE §84308 APPLIES: Yes DISCUSSION On February 21, 2012, the City Council approved an agreement with Advanced Technology Information Management Systems (ATIMS) for a Jail management software system (A-2012-029). This system’s primary purpose is to manage Jail operations including inmate intake and release, inmate record management, visitation schedules, jail incidents, and inmate transfer and movement activities. It allows Jail staff to generate regulatory and fiscal reports required by the State as well as its contract agencies. Beyond the system’s use within the Jail, this software is used by other members of the Police Department for processing registrants, sending documents to court, and managing mug shot photos. The Police Department is proposing to execute a new three-year agreement with ATIMS for the licensing, support, and maintenance of its Jail Management System for $265,232. The agreement also covers maintenance services from the expiration date of the most recent agreement, December 19, 2024 through June 2, 2025. This agreement allows for two optional one-year extensions at an additional cost of $190,347. A 15% contingency in the amount of $68,336 is also included for potential required work on this     City Council 13 – 1 6/3/2025 Jail Management System Maintenance June 3, 2025 Page 2 5 0 7 6 system related to transitioning the Police Department to a new Records Management System, for a total not to exceed amount of $523,915. The Santa Ana Jail has been using ATIMS to manage Jail information and operations since 2012. ATIMS has been accommodating, professional, and consistent in its servicing of the system. Similar to other City enterprise systems, maintaining the ATIMS system is the most cost-effective option rather than transitioning to a new system. The Jail intends to continue to use ATIMS until technology enhancements present a better, more cost-effective solution for managing Jail information and operations. ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT There is no environmental impact associated with this action. FISCAL IMPACT Funding is available in the FY 24-25 budget and funding for subsequent fiscal years and extension options, if exercised, will be included in the proposed budgets for City Council consideration as follows: Fiscal Year Accounting Unit - Account No.Fund Description Accounting Unit, Account Description Amount FY 24-25 01114475-62300 General Fund Jail Operations, Contract Services $ 85,811 FY 25-26 01114475-62300 General Fund Jail Operations, Contract Services $ 88,385 FY 25-26 12814407-62300 Supplemental Law Enforcement Services Fund SLESA, Contract Services $ 26,129 FY 26-27 01114475-62300 General Fund Jail Operations, Contract Services $ 91,036 FY 26-27 12814407-62300 Supplemental Law Enforcement Services Fund SLESA, Contract Services $ 13,655 FY 27-28 01114475-62300 General Fund Jail Operations, Contract Services $ 93,767 FY 27-28 12814407-62300 Supplemental Law Enforcement Services Fund SLESA, Contract Services $ 14,065 FY 28-29 01114475-62300 General Fund Jail Operations, Contract Services $ 96,580 FY 28-29 12814407-62300 Supplemental Law Enforcement Services Fund SLESA, Contract Services $ 14,487 TOTAL $523,915     City Council 13 – 2 6/3/2025 Jail Management System Maintenance June 3, 2025 Page 3 5 0 7 6 The contingency amounts from the SLESA funds are estimates only and subject to change.

This guide will provide you with the necessary information to use our services and maximize the value of your Professional Services and Support and Maintenance agreements. Our mission is to be your trusted business partner for all areas of your Jail Management System. Professional Services and Support Program Our Professional Services and Support (PSS) program is designed to meet your needs according to the time and budget that works best for you. This document provides an overview of the PSS program and the process of obtaining service. Initial Engagement Your authorized contact will contact ATIMS to place a request for service or support. Discovery Period The ATIMS Support Desk will gather all of the necessary information from you to assess the situation. The support technician will determine the appropriate course of action, such as asking your authorized contact to attempt various tasks or begin a remote session through an online connection. This discovery period will be completed in 30 or fewer minutes. If the discovery period takes longer than 30 minutes and the issue is determined to be unrelated to ATIMS, ATIMS reserves the right to charge for this time. If a resolution has not been achieved at the end of the discovery period, then the support technician will create a support ticket for further investigation of the issue. If the issue is determined to be ATIMS–related and falls within the coverage of a current Software Support and Maintenance Agreement, then there will be no additional charges for the discovery period. Also, ATIMS will make every effort to resolve the issue as quickly as possible. Please note that additional remote sessions through an online connection may be required during this period. If the engagement falls within a Professional Services Agreement, you will be given an estimated cost to complete the job and will be billed at the hourly rate listed in Appendix A. You will receive regular updates on the status of an issue and will be provided resolution details when a support ticket is successfully closed. Technical Resolution Guidance The following chart explains the options provided by ATIMS with our Software Support and Maintenance Agreement and our Professional Services Agreement.     City Council 13 – 18 6/3/2025 ATIMS Professional Services and Support 2025| Page 3 of 15 ATIMS reserves the right to change or delete any or all of the professional services described in this manual without further notice.

Annual Software Support and Maintenance Software Covered by This Agreement ATIMS shall provide software support only on the items described in Appendix A, Software Support and Maintenance Pricing. Definition: Software Support and Maintenance Software Support and Maintenance is an agreement purchased along with a software package and renews annually. This agreement provides our clients with patches available during the year and supplies all of the software upgrades for version releases. The agreement protects your investment, enables your software to stay up to date, and provides new features and functions that enrich and optimize the user experience. Software Support Services A Software Support and Maintenance Agreement provides clients with fixes, upgrades, and updates to licensed software released during the maintenance period. This agreement is not an extension of the warranty period — it runs concurrently with any warranty. Additional fees may be charged for upgrades that exceed more than one major or minor version of the software in a year. “Forklift” upgrades (major release to major release) will be subject to additional support fees if minor upgrades, updates, and/or fixes have not been adopted. Section 2. Standard Operating Procedures Determining Severity and Response Commitments When reporting an incident, you will make the initial determination of priority and include it in the support request. The initial ATIMS response to an incident will be based on your assessment of priority. ATIMS will make reasonable efforts to respond to support requests within the timeframes described in the following table, to provide periodic status updates to you, and to resolve incidents to your satisfaction. The inability of ATIMS to meet the described response times due to your availability (such as busy phone, no answer, out of the office, etc.) does not constitute a failure to comply with these support policies. After the initial response, any changes to the incident priority will be determined by ATIMS staff. The following table describes the guidelines used by ATIMS to establish the severity level of an incident and the ATIMS response commitments.     City Council 13 – 20 6/3/2025 ATIMS Professional Services and Support 2025| Page 5 of 15 ATIMS reserves the right to change or delete any or all of the professional services described in this manual without further notice.

Severity Level Description Expected Resolution Reporting Frequency for More Complex Issues Level 1 The problem affects live operation and demands immediate attention. Normal service has been disrupted. Business risk is high. Customer receives a status report within the first hour. 4 hours. Every 4 business hours. Level 2 Affects production systems and demands immediate attention. Live operation is still possible at this time. Business risk is moderate to low. Customer receives a status report within the first 4 hours. Within 2 working days. Every 4 business hours. Level 3 Low impact. Live operation is not affected. Business risk is low. Customer receives a status report within 1 working day. Within 5 working days. Does not apply. Level 4 Low to minimal impact. This involves system enhancements, upgrades, and minor problems not affecting production. According to the order of importance in the queue. Does not apply. In the event that ATIMS receives a high volume of simultaneous PSS requests, client requests will be prioritized by severity level and by the order in which incidents are reported. Appointing a Primary Contact and Alternate Contact To optimize the process of providing services and support, ATIMS requires clients to designate a primary contact person and an alternate contact person to become the authorized contacts who submit support and service requests to ATIMS. Authorized contacts should be entered in the section “Authorized Contacts for Professional Services and Support Requests” on page 12 in this document. Support Methods Remote Diagnostics ATIMS uses GoToMeeting to perform remote diagnostics and support. ATIMS uses remote diagnostics to help identify and isolate suspected software, solution errors or malfunctions. Should you require that ATIMS use a different remote diagnostics software or service (such as LogMeIn, ShowMyPC, etc.), you must provide access to the required software or service at no cost to ATIMS. ATIMS will make every effort to comply with the security requirements of the customer. Any security configurations that are required to achieve remote connectivity and/or access to your computer network will be used only to diagnose the error or malfunction.     City Council 13 – 21 6/3/2025 ATIMS Professional Services and Support 2025| Page 6 of 15 ATIMS reserves the right to change or delete any or all of the professional services described in this manual without further notice.

Telephone Telephone support is provided during ATIMS normal business hours and is available to clients who have signed a Software Support and Maintenance Agreement or Professional Services Agreement. Section 3. Professional Services and Support Professional services include the provision of information and assistance on technical incidents related to the installation, administration, and operation of ATIMS software products and solutions, as well as assistance in determining why the product may not be performing in accordance with the documentation (referred to as an incident in this document). Definition: Professional Services The ATIMS Professional Services and Support (PSS) program offers clients technical assistance in the support, configuration, maintenance, and operation of their software system. PSS enables clients to acquire technical services from ATIMS such as performing upgrades, applying updates, troubleshooting, providing training, and many other services. With PSS, ATIMS can provide full support or simply act as an additional layer of support behind your IT department. Either way, a Professional Services and Support Agreement will be a great benefit to your organization. How Our Support Works ATIMS will provide telephone, email, and on-site support to maintain the products and other solutions and/or customizations provided by ATIMS. Remote diagnostics will always be the first course of action to resolve an incident or to provide technical assistance before scheduling an on-site visit. You will be billed in hourly increments for all professional services, or time will be charged to a block of PSS hours previously purchased. There will be a minimum two-hour charge for on-site support, not including any travel time. All PSS hours will be tracked by the assigned technician and verified by the ATIMS Support Manager. If a problem occurs which significantly affects your use of ATIMS software and the issue remains unidentified or unresolved either by workaround or permanent correction after you follow ATIMS prescribed actions, at ATIMS discretion a support technician will be made available at your location during regular business hours. ATIMS also provides critical support 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Critical support is defined as any issue that: • Causes the ATIMS system to stop running agency-wide. • Prevents any essential or required data elements from being entered. • Causes an inability to perform any mission-critical JMS task.     City Council 13 – 22 6/3/2025 ATIMS Professional Services and Support 2025| Page 7 of 15 ATIMS reserves the right to change or delete any or all of the professional services described in this manual without further notice.

The support technician will arrange an on-site arrival time with your authorized contact, and keep you fully informed during this period. Fo r on-site visits that require air travel, the travel cost will be confirmed with you before booking. ATIMS will provide or make available: 1. Assistance in diagnosing and identifying errors or malfunctions. 2. On-site consultation on correcting identified errors or malfunctions. 3. Detailed information on external factors which directly or indirectly affected ATIMS software and resulted in performance deficiencies. For ATIMS installations on an agency’s Local Area Network (LAN), the agency and/or county IT departments bear full responsibility for backing up databases and/or data files according to industry standard practices. You will not hold ATIMS, its agents, successors, or assignees liable in any way for consequences resulting from lost data caused by the unavailability of appropriate backup data. The services provided as part of the PSS program do not include duties normally associated with ongoing LAN administrator tasks. Additional tasks like recovery of databases and/or data files that were not properly backed up, and normal database administration tasks (reorganizing databases, running backups, restoring databases, reviewing logs, updating statistics, capacity planning, etc.), are offered as part of the Professional Services Agreement and you will be billed at the hourly rate noted in Appendix A (on page 12). Section 4. Additional Professional Services You may request additional professional services from ATIMS and use previously purchased block hours for any of the services explained in the following table. Software consulting Reinstallation of software or hardware Installation and training Upgrade and testing Data conversion Data migration System relocation System migration Application integration Software customization Workflow development Business process reengineering Contact your Account Manager to request a Professional Services proposal for Scope of Work (SOW) and estimates for time and cost. Travel Expense On-site support performed by ATIMS employees for any client may be affected by travel and/or living expenses incurred by ATIMS. For client-initiated tasks, such actual expenses will be billed as they are incurred, outside the scope of this agreement. Automobile and air travel time will be deducted from the block hours of the Professional Services account at 50 percent of the actual travel time.     City Council 13 – 23 6/3/2025 ATIMS Professional Services and Support 2025| Page 8 of 15 ATIMS reserves the right to change or delete any or all of the professional services described in this manual without further notice.

GOVERNMENT CODE §84308 APPLIES: Yes DISCUSSION The Santa Ana Police Department has been contracting for additional parking enforcement services for over a decade. The current parking enforcement model is comprised of full-time and part-time Police Department Parking Enforcement Personnel and through an agreement with LAZ Parking California LLC (LAZ). The LAZ parking enforcement agreement was entered into as a result of a competitive Request for Proposal process in 2023 for an annual amount not to exceed $938,444 for a two-year period from July 1, 2023 through June 30, 2025, with options for three (3) additional one (1) year renewals. The current parking enforcement agreement with LAZ provides parking enforcement consisting of one (1) supervisor and seven (7) Parking Ambassadors to supplement the enforcement of street sweeping violations, permit parking, parking-specific municipal codes, and abandoned vehicle complaints. LAZ Parking Ambassadors provide assistance in the enforcement of five street sweeping routes five days per week. On March 4, 2025, staff presented a report to City Council regarding the LAZ contract, services provided, citations issued, and steps taken by the Police Department to address customer service complaints. Direction was provided to start a new procurement for contract parking enforcement services. However, the timing of the procurement process     City Council 14 – 1 6/3/2025 Contract Parking Enforcement Services June 3, 2025 Page 2 5 0 2 0 and vetting of the potential service providers will take time beyond the expiration of the current contract on June 30, 2025. A Request for Proposal (RFP) process of such an essential service can result in a lengthy procurement process and may take months to be finalized, including the transition and implementation plan with the selected contractor. The Police Department will be issuing a new RFP for parking enforcement services in July of 2025 to coincide with the start of FY 2025-26. The RFP process is expected to take approximately six months. In the interim, to ensure continuity of enforcement services, staff recommends exercising the first one-year renewal option with LAZ for continued parking enforcement services with an allocation of $1,010,855 covering LAZ’s services for one additional year. The increase of $72,411 in the annual cost is due to LAZ’s increase in union labor wages and benefits and vehicle costs for the ambassadors. While the renewal option is for one year, the termination section in the original agreement remains in effect. Upon the conclusion of a RFP process and selection of a suitable contractor, the City can terminate the LAZ agreement upon thirty days written notice. The scope of services are also being amended to specify that LAZ Ambassadors function at the absolute direction of the Santa Ana Police Department. LAZ Ambassadors will continue to have the ability to enforce the Santa Ana Municipal Code as well as the California Vehicle Code sections, only at the approval and discretion of the Santa Ana Police Department. The Police Department, at any time, can limit LAZ Ambassadors to issuing citations for parking violations only (i.e. no citations for missing front or rear license plates). The City Council also expressed concerns regarding a lack of an educational approach tailored to our Santa Ana stakeholders from LAZ Ambassadors. Steps have been taken to address these concerns. In March 2025, all LAZ Ambassadors were re-deployed from the Downtown area to conduct enforcement efforts in other areas of the city to address parking complaints. SAPD Parking Control Officers are now deployed throughout the Downtown area conducting enforcement efforts and will exercise discretion in enforcing the Santa Ana Municipal Code and the California Vehicle Code. On April 23, 2025, all Santa Ana Police Department Parking Control Officers along with all LAZ Ambassadors received refresher training on the Community Engagement Enforcement Philosophy and customer service. The purpose of this refresher training was to ensure all parking control officers have the necessary customer service and communication skills when dealing with people who are in violation of parking laws. Additionally, we delivered enhanced communication and listening skills to be implemented during all contacts. Continuous training will be provided to all enforcement staff as necessary throughout the renewal period to mitigate complaints and improve customer service.     City Council 14 – 2 6/3/2025 Contract Parking Enforcement Services June 3, 2025 Page 3 5 0 2 0 ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT There is no environmental impact associated with this action.

GOVERNMENT CODE §84308 APPLIES: Yes DISCUSSION The Public Works Agency’s Parks, Fleet, Facilities, and Refuse Division (PWA) is responsible for maintaining 26 elevators and 2-wheel chair lifts in various City buildings, including City Hall, Ross Annex, Santa Ana Regional Transportation Center, Police Department Jail, Navigation Center, Garfield Center, and the Santa Ana Zoo. Maintaining operational elevators is essential for making buildings accessible to all people and essential to move goods from one floor to another. To comply with regulations set by the State of California Department of Industrial Relations, Occupational Safety and Health Agency (Cal-OSHA), regular preventative maintenance and periodic testing is required. Due to aging infrastructure, there has been an increasing number of repairs on elevators resulting in higher repair costs. Cal- OSHA inspects all elevators and escalators at least once per year. Upon successful inspection, a conveyance permit for each piece of equipment is issued. The existing agreement for elevator maintenance and repair services expires June 30, 2025 with a total compensation amount not to exceed $1,674,168. Of that, $806,028 was spent for annual maintenance, inspections, and as-need repairs; such as, replacement of failing elevator drives, parts, and oil leaks.     City Council 15 – 1 6/3/2025 Elevator Maintenance and Repair June 3, 2025 Page 2 5 0 7 8 Request for Proposal (RFP) No. 25-007A was issued on February 6, 2025 on the City’s online bid management and publication system. A summary of vendor participation and results is as follows: 323 Vendors notified 1 Santa Ana vendor notified 18 Vendors downloaded the bid packet 3 Responsive proposals received 0 Proposals received from Santa Ana vendors Local Outreach Efforts The Purchasing Division advertised this project on the City’s online bid management and publication system, which directly notified one Santa Ana vendor. Zero Santa Ana vendors downloaded the RFP or submitted a bid for consideration. Proposals were solicited, opened on March 13, 2025, and evaluated. Three proposals were submitted by the RFP deadline and all were determined to be responsive to the specifications and met the City’s requirements. An evaluation committee reviewed and rated the proposals according to the criteria listed in the RFP, and the following summarizes the ranking of all responding firms: Firm City Rank Amtech Elevator Services Cerritos, CA 1 Elevators Etc.Los Angeles, CA 2 Nouveau Elevator California Walnut, CA 3 Staff recommends awarding an agreement to the highest-ranked firm, Pacific Coast Elevators DBA Amtech Elevator Services (Exhibit 1). Amtech has been providing elevator maintenance services to the City since 2006. Although Amtech’s proposal was costlier than the other proposals received (about $66,000 more annually), their proposal demonstrated the firm has the necessary labor capacity and best experience to complete the required services for the City. They were overwhelmingly ranked higher than the rest based on the demonstrated ability to respond to elevator outages in emergencies and their unique knowledge of the City’s elevator systems. Amtech is a subsidiary of Otis Company, the world’s leading company in elevator manufacturing and maintenance. They benefit from global engineering support, one of the nation’s largest parts inventories, and a robust safety program. With their local network of account management, skilled technicians, efficient dispatching, and warehousing, Amtech will continue to provide exceptional value and tailored service to meet the City’s needs. The new recommended agreement includes price reflective of the scope of the agreement and aging elevators that require more repairs to keep them operational. ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT There is no environmental impact associated with the action.     City Council 15 – 2 6/3/2025 Elevator Maintenance and Repair June 3, 2025 Page 3 5 0 7 8 FISCAL IMPACT Funds are budgeted in the proposed Fiscal Year 2025-26 budget under the following accounts.

GOVERNMENT CODE §84308 APPLIES: Yes DISCUSSION The Public Works Agency’s Maintenance Services Division (PWA) is responsible for maintaining over 30 miles of City street medians and various public right-of-way areas including slopes, channels, neighborhood entry monuments, bike lanes, and City owned vacant lots. The services include, but are not limited to, mowing, weed mitigation, trash removal, and irrigation systems maintenance. PWA contracts for these services and the current contract, awarded by Council in 2019, is set to expire on June 30, 2025. The Public Works Agency places great emphasis on maintaining the public realm in an attractive condition for residents, businesses, and visitors. Maintenance of City medians and right-of-way areas have faced numerous challenges due to various factors, including increased landscaped inventory, barren landscapes resulting from the State’s restrictions on use of grass turf, and vandalism. The City has made incremental investments to improve and re-plant barren medians through installation of new drip irrigation systems and water efficient landscaping in the City's many arterial corridors including First Street, Bristol Street, Seventeenth Street, Fairview Street, Harbor Bouleveard, and MacArthur Boulevard but has additional work to perform on other corridors such as Edinger Avenue and Warner Avenue. Rising cost of landscape maintenance labor and materials and an expanded inventory of public realm landscaping, such as bike lanes, roundabouts, and other traffic calming     City Council 16 – 1 6/3/2025 Median and Right of Way Landscaping Maintenance Services June 3, 2025 Page 2 5 0 7 7 devices, have further limited the ability to invest in improving and replanting the remaining existing median inventory. This service is intended for maintnenace of the existing landscaping only. It is estimated that the cost to improve barren medians is approximately $750,000 per mile with an annual maintenance cost of approximatley $150,000 for every mile of median landscaping. Furthermore, the main funding source for the median and right-of-way landscaping maintenance program is Gas Tax funding, which has historically proven unreliable due to fluctuations in fuel costs and consumer spending resulting in reduced allocations for maintenance and limiting ability to invest in median improvements. Historically, the annual funding for median landscaping has been about $1.2 million from Gas Tax funding. Due to constant fluctuatuions and decreases in Gas Tax revenues, the Gas Tax budget for this activity in FY 2025-26 is $1,024,000. To mitigate the shortfall in funding, the program will receive $350,000 annually from the General Fund which counts toward the City’s Measure M2 required “Maintenance of Effort” street maintenance spending. Additonally, this year in an effort to combine service contracts and to provide more efficient services, this contract will combine weed abatement services of slopes, channels, and vacant lots. The funding source for the weed abatement services will be set at $500,000 from the Environmental Sanitation Funds. Request for Proposals No. 25-058 Request for Proposals (RFP) No. 25-058 (Exhibit 1) was issued on April 4, 2025 on the City’s online bid management and publication system. A summary of vendor participation and results is as follows: 365 Vendors Notified 4 Santa Ana vendors notified 36 Vendors downloaded the RFP packet 6 Responsive proposals received 0 Proposals received from Santa Ana vendors Local Outreach Efforts The Purchasing Division advertised this project on the City’s online bid management and publication system, which directly notified four Santa Ana vendors. Proposals were solicited, opened on May 1, 2025, and evaluated. Six proposals were submitted by the RFP deadline and were determined to be responsive to the specifications and met the City’s requirements. An evaluation committee reviewed and rated the proposals according to the criteria listed in the RFP, and the following summarizes the ranking of all responding firms:     City Council 16 – 2 6/3/2025 Median and Right of Way Landscaping Maintenance Services June 3, 2025 Page 3 5 0 7 7 Firm City Rank Landscape West Management Services Anaheim, CA 1 Mariposa Landscapes, Inc.Irwindale, CA 2 So Cal Land Maintenance, Inc.Anaheim, CA 3 Priority Landscape Maintenance Anaheim, CA 4 Evolution Landscaping and Plumbing Huntington Beach, CA 5 Tropical Plaza Villa Park, CA 6 Staff recommends awarding an agreement to the highest-ranked firm, Landscape West Management Services, Inc., based on their strong experience with similar scopes of services, availability of fleet and staffing, responsiveness to services, and direct experience working with the City of Santa Ana. (Exhibit 2). Landscape West holds the City’s current right of way landscaping services contract for Santa Ana and has performed well. The firm’s proposed rates are only 5% higher than the previous agreement terms and are competitive, reasonable, and within industry standard. Overall, the proposal was determined to provide the best value for the City. The total annual compensation amount is based on the available annual budget and allows the flexibility to augment staffing levels based on seasonal demands and replacement of damaged plant material and irrigation components due to vandalism and automobile accidents. ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT There is no environmental impact associated with the action. FISCAL IMPACT Funding is included in the proposed FY 2025-26 budget.

Self-Insured Retentions Self-insured retentions must be declared to and approved by the City. The City may require the Contractor to purchase coverage with a lower retention or provide proof of ability to pay losses and related investigations, claim administration, and defense expenses within the retention. The policy language shall provide, or be endorsed to provide, that the self-insured retention may be satisfied by either the named insured or City. Acceptability of Insurers Insurance is to be placed with insurers authorized to conduct business in the state with a current A.M. Best’s rating of no less than A:VII, unless otherwise acceptable to the City. Claims Made Policies If any of the required policies provide claims-made coverage:     City Council 16 – 44 6/3/2025 CITY OF SANTA ANA MEDIAN AND RIGHT OF WAY LANDSCAPING MAINTENANCE – RFP #25-058 40 1. The Retroactive Date must be shown, and must be before the date of the contract or the beginning of contract work. 2. Insurance must be maintained and evidence of insurance must be provided for at least five (5) years after completion of the contract of work. 3. If coverage is canceled or non-renewed, and not replaced with another claims-made policy form with a Retroactive Date prior to the contract effective date, the Contractor must purchase “extended reporting” coverage for a minimum of five (5) years after completion of work. Verification of Coverage Contractor shall furnish the City with original certificates and amendatory endorsements or copies of the applicable policy language effecting coverage required by this clause. All certificates and endorsements are to be received and approved by the City before work commences. However, failure to obtain the required documents prior to the work beginning shall not waive the Contractor’s obligation to provide them. The City reserves the right to require complete, certified copies of all required insurance policies, including endorsements required by these specifications, at any time. Special Risks or Circumstances City reserves the right to modify these requirements, including limits, based on the nature of the risk, prior experience, insurer, coverage, or other special circumstances. 7.

City may make all reasonable decisions with respect to its representation in any legal proceeding. Notwithstanding the foregoing, to the extent Contractor’s services are subject to Civil Code Section 2782.8, the above indemnity shall be limited, to the extent required by Civil Code Section 2782.8, to claims that arise out of, pertain to, or relate to the negligence, recklessness, or willful misconduct of the Contractor. 8. INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY INDEMNIFICATION Consultant shall defend and indemnify the City, its officers, agents, representatives, and employees against any and all liability, including costs, for infringement of any United States’ letters patent, trademark, or copyright infringement, including costs, contained in the work product or documents provided by Consultant to the City pursuant to this Agreement.     City Council 16 – 45 6/3/2025 CITY OF SANTA ANA MEDIAN AND RIGHT OF WAY LANDSCAPING MAINTENANCE – RFP #25-058 41 9.

GOVERNMENT CODE §84308 APPLIES: Yes DISCUSSION The Public Works Agency’s Engineering Division (PWA) is responsible for the administration and oversight of all Capital Improvement Projects in the City, whereas the Traffic Engineering Section oversees the operations and maintenance of the City’s Traffic Signal system. The Traffic Signal system is comprised of approximately 310 traffic signals that are interconnected via fiber optic communication and dynamically adjust traffic signal timings based on real-time traffic conditions to improve traffic flow and reduce congestion. On October 15, 2025, City Council approved a cooperative agreement with Orange County Transportation Authority (OCTA) recognizing $3,690,000 in Regional Early Action Planning (REAP 2.0) grant funding to deliver the McFadden Avenue Transit Signal Priority Pilot Project (Project). Under the cooperative agreement, the City of Santa Ana agreed to deliver the Project including implementation and evaluation of an innovative Transit Signal Priority (TSP) system. The project will include planning, assessing, deploying, and testing the TSP system. On September 17, 2024, the City Council approved the construction of the McFadden Avenue corridor roadway improvements that will prioritize active transportation and promote transit use. To ensure McFadden Avenue is accessible, safe, and secure for all modes of travel, it is important to provide highly reliable public transportation along the corridor. The proposed TSP project will improve OC Bus travel time, schedule reliability, reduce fuel     City Council 17 – 1 6/3/2025 Agreement for McFadden Avenue Transit Signal Priority Pilot June 3, 2025 Page 2 5 0 1 6 consumption and emissions while also maintaining traffic flow and improving corridor safety along McFadden Avenue. The grant funding will finance the entire cost of the TSP deployment in addition to bus stop improvements and all associated design and administration costs. McFadden Avenue is a multi-modal corridor with many travelers, ranging from motorists to bicyclists and pedestrians, using this route to commute to work, school, and other key destinations. Additionally, OCTA operates the OC Bus Route 66 along the corridor, which has one of the highest ridership rates in the County transit system. In 2022, OCTA, in partnership with City of Santa Ana, studied the McFadden Avenue corridor to evaluate traffic flow and transit operations in preparation for the construction of active transportation improvements. From the study, a Transit Signal Priority Project was identified as a key upgrade to help enhance the corridor. The TSP is a strategy that modifies traffic signal timing to give OC buses priority at signalized intersections. Priority is achieved by extending green light times for OC buses, shortening red light times, or changing when green phases occur in the traffic signal cycle. TSP will be achieved via a cloud-based system that will collect real time speed and location data from OCTA’s Traffic Operation Center and interface with the City’s Traffic Management Center. The OCTA buses are currently equipped with comprehensive data collection, remote network communications, and location tracking that exchange information between the bus operator and the OCTA Traffic Operation Center (TOC). The cloud server will utilize algorithms to analyze the incoming data from the busses and transmit the data to the City’s traffic signal controllers instructing them to adjust signal timing to accommodate the transit vehicle. The project will enhance the corridor traffic flow by assessing, deploying, and testing TSP at 19 signalized intersections on McFadden Ave. between Harbor Boulevard and Grand Avenue. The McFadden Avenue Transit Signal Priority Pilot Project will be delivered in two phases: this phase (Phase 1) will implement and evaluate the TSP system and Phase 2 will construct bus stop improvements at 25 bus stops, including bus stop relocations with concrete bus pads, bus shelters, trash receptacles, and solar powered lighting fixtures. The bus stop improvements will be constructed per City of Santa Ana standards and after project completion will become City property and subject to regularly scheduled maintenance. A Phase 2 construction contract will be brought to City Council for consideration in September 2025. On January 14, 2025, PWA released Request for Proposal (RFP) No. 24-122, by which it sought the services of a qualified consulting firm to implement the McFadden Avenue Transit Signal Priority Pilot Project. The RFP was advertised and proposals were received electronically via PlanetBids, the City’s online procurement management and publication system, on February 12, 2025. The City notified a total of 932 regional vendors via PlanetBids, one of which is Santa Ana based. Fifty-two vendors requested bidding documents and three proposals were     City Council 17 – 2 6/3/2025 Agreement for McFadden Avenue Transit Signal Priority Pilot June 3, 2025 Page 3 5 0 1 6 received and evaluated by a selection committee.

Santa Ana has a population of over 310,000 and serves as the county seat. With many large industries and firms, Santa Ana is also a family-friendly city, with rich culture on display in the city’s museums and many tourist attractions. The City of Santa Ana is centrally located in the heart or Orange County and is bounded by Interstate-5 to the north, Interstate-405 to the south and State Route-55 to the east. The City has over 100 miles of roadway including 15 major arterials that move over 500,000 vehicles per day. Within the City of Santa Ana, McFadden Avenue is a four-lane arterial with average daily traffic volumes ranging from 12,000 to up to 22,000 vehicles per day. The corridor is primarily four-lane arterial divided by a striped median that serves as a two-way left turn lane, except for a brief residential section between Bristol Street and Standard Avenue where it is mostly reduced to a two-lane undivided roadway. In 2022, McFadden Avenue between Harbor Boulevard and Grand Avenue was reclassified from a secondary (4-lane, undivided) arterial to divided collector (2-lane, divided) to make way for active transportation improvements for improved pedestrian and bicycle safety and mobility. In December 2024, the City of Santa Ana began construction of active transportation improvements along the 4-mile segment of McFadden Avenue between Harbor Boulevard and Grand Avenue to prioritize pedestrian and bicycle safety and promote transit use. The improvements include a Class II buffered bicycle lane, bulb outs at intersections, bus stop improvements, enhanced signage and striping and traffic signal intelligent transportation systems. In order to make space for the active transportation improvements, the removal of one thru lane in each direction was required to accommodate the bicycle lanes and associated amenities along McFadden Avenue within the City. Construction started December 2024 and will continue through 2025. McFadden Avenue is a multi-modal corridor with many motorists, bicyclists and pedestrians using this busy route to commute to work and school. The Orange County Transportation Authority (OCTA) also operates OC Bus Route 66 along the corridor, which has one of the highest ridership rates in the County transit system. In 2022, with the proposed capacity reductions under design, an evaluation of potential impacts on traffic flow and transit operations was conducted to evaluate the severity of the impacts and identify solutions that could reduce or reverse the impacts. OCTA, in partnership with City of Santa Ana, prepared the Santa Ana Transit Cooperative Study (Attachment A) which provided a list of suggested transit improvements to help reduce the traffic impacts of the capacity reduction and further encourage ridership. From the study, Transit Signal Priority was identified as a key upgrade to help mitigate the impacts. This project seeks to alleviate the impacts by planning, assessing, deploying, and testing Transit Signal Priority on McFadden Ave between Harbor Boulevard and Grand Avenue within City of Santa Ana. EXHIBIT I SCOPE OF SERVICES     City Council 17 – 14 6/3/2025 CITY OF SANTA ANA 2 PROJECT DESCRIPTION AND BACKGROUND The project area includes 19 signalized intersections owned and operated by City of Santa Ana along McFadden Avenue from Harbor Boulevard to Grand Avenue, as listed in Table 1: Project Intersections. City of Santa Ana has made significant investments in the signal infrastructure to enable the communication between the signalized intersections to the Traffic Management Center (TMC). The controllers along the corridor are Econolite 2070 with ASC/3 firmware or Econolite Cobalt with EOS firmware controller in Type 332 or NEMA Type P Cabinets and communicate back the TMC via Fiber Optic or Twisted Pair Communication. The traffic signals are operated utilizing Econolite’s Centracs Advanced Traffic Management System (ATMS). The active transportation project currently under construction will replace all the controllers with Econolite Cobalt ATC Controllers with EOS firmware, upgrade all communication to Fiber Optic communication, and upgrade the current loop detection to Video Detection Systems at all 19 intersections. Table 1: Project Intersection No. Intersection No. Intersection 1 McFadden Avenue and Harbor Boulevard 11 McFadden Avenue and Shelton Street 2 McFadden Avenue and Riverview Marketplace 12 McFadden Avenue and Flower Street 3 McFadden Avenue and Jackson Street 13 McFadden Avenue and Broadway 4 McFadden Avenue and Mohawk Drive 14 McFadden Avenue and Main Street 5 McFadden Avenue and Fairview Street 15 McFadden Avenue and Orange Avenue 6 McFadden Avenue and Sullivan Street 16 McFadden Avenue and Maple Street 7 McFadden Avenue and Center Street 17 McFadden Avenue and Standard Avenue 8 McFadden Avenue and Raitt Street 18 McFadden Avenue and Hathaway Street 9 McFadden Avenue and Pacific Avenue 19 McFadden Avenue and Grand Avenue 10 McFadden Avenue and Bristol Street OCTA’s Route 66 bus line runs from the City of Huntington Beach through Santa Ana to the City of Irvine primarily along McFadden Avenue. OCTA’s Route 66 bus line through McFadden Avenue operates on approximately 10-minute headways during the peak periods and 20 minutes during off-peak periods with approximately 39 bus stops, as shown in Figure 1 below. The OCTA buses along Bus Route 66 host a suite of equipment that allows for comprehensive data collection, remote network communications, and location tracking that exchange information between the bus operator and the OCTA Traffic Operation Center (TOC). Each bus is equipped with a Cradlepoint router (IBR1100 or IBR1700) with cellular connection to the OCTA’s Conduent OrbCAD Computer-Aided Dispatch/Automatic Vehicle Location (CAD/AVL) system. Bus locations are polled by the OrbCAD system and uploads the General Transit Feed Specification (GTFS) package to the Swiftly data engine roughly every ten (10) seconds. This level of location tracking and schedule status is often sufficient to support priority service systems, like centralized and/or cloud-based transit signal priority (TSP) systems, that ingest this information to make informed priority requests to other traffic systems.     City Council 17 – 15 6/3/2025 CITY OF SANTA ANA 3 Figure 1: Project Area and Intersections The focus of this project is to implement and evaluate the innovative TSP solution, as a successful implementation and study could lead to deployments of similar solutions on other City of Santa Ana arterials. The project is funded by the Regional Early Action Planning Grants of 2021 (REAP 2.0) administered by the California Department of Housing and Community Development (HCD) in collaboration with the Governor’s Office and Planning Research (OPR), the Strategic Growth Council (SGC), and the California Air Resources Board (CARB). As the designated Metropolitan Planning Organization (MPO) for Southern California, the Southern California Association of Governments (SCAG) released a Call for Applications for the REAP 2.0 funds. Funding for the project was awarded to OCTA who submitted the grant application on behalf of the City of Santa Ana. OCTA will administer the grant documentations and will reimburse the City of Santa Ana for the engineering and implementation of the project with REAP 2.0 funds. The consultant shall provide an understanding of the funding requirements throughout the delivery of the Project.

Each investment transaction and the entire portfolio must comply with California Government Code, Sections 53600 and 53635 et seq. and this policy. 3.2 Written Investment Procedures City Investment Officials shall establish written procedures consistent with this investment policy for the operation of the investment program. Procedures should include but not be limited to: authorized personnel, segregation of duties, internal controls, wire transfer agreements, daily cash flow review, basis for awarding bids, portfolio inventory, and reporting. The procedures document is intended to provide guidance for staff and to provide continuity in the event of an interruption of services of the Treasury and Customer Services Manager and/or Assistant Finance Director.     City Council 18 – 8 6/3/2025 July 1, 2025 - June 30, 2026 City of Santa - Annual Statement of Investment Policy Page 3 4.0 OBJECTIVES The primary objectives, in priority order, for the City of Santa Ana’s investment activities shall be Safety, Liquidity, and Yield: 4.1 Safety of Principal Safety of principal is the foremost objective of the City of Santa Ana, care must be taken to ensure the preservation of capital and the protection of principal. Each investment transaction shall be undertaken in a manner that seeks to ensure preservation of capital in the overall portfolio. The objective will be to mitigate credit risk and interest rate risk by following guideline listed below. A. Credit Risk Credit Risk is the risk of loss due to the failure of the security issuer or backer to redeem the outstanding debt at the stated maturity date. Credit risk also applies to the overall market perception of the financial strength and capacity of the issuer. The City of Santa Ana will minimize credit risk by: i. Limiting investments to authorized investments as set forth in Section 10.0 of this investment policy; ii. Pre-qualifying the financial institutions, broker-dealers, intermediaries, and advisors with which the City will do business; iii. Diversifying the investment portfolio so that potential losses on individual securities will be minimized. iv. Holding a minimum percentage of the total portfolio in highly marketable short-term treasuries, checking with interest, government pooled account, or a combination of all three. The minimum percentage shall be set monthly by the FMSA Investment Advisory Committee based on a rolling twenty-four month analysis of the City’s minimum cash position requirements adjusted for any exceptional anticipated cash out flows. B. Market or Interest Rate Risk Market or interest rate risk is the risk that the market value of securities in the portfolio may fall due to changes in general interest rates. The City of Santa Ana will minimize interest market interest rates, by: i. Structuring the investment portfolio so that securities mature to meet cash requirements for ongoing operations, thereby avoiding the need to sell securities on the open market prior to maturity, and ii. Purchasing investments with the intent to hold until maturity; and     City Council 18 – 9 6/3/2025 July 1, 2025 - June 30, 2026 City of Santa - Annual Statement of Investment Policy Page 4 iii. By investing operating funds primarily in shorter-term securities, money market mutual funds, or similar investment pools and limiting the average maturity of the portfolio to 3 years using the securities’ stated final maturities. 4.2 Liquidity The investment portfolio shall remain sufficiently liquid to meet all operating requirements that may be reasonably anticipated. This is accomplished by structuring the portfolio so that securities mature concurrent with cash needs to meet anticipated demands (static liquidity). Furthermore, since all possible cash demands cannot be anticipated, the portfolio should consist largely of securities with active secondary or resale markets (dynamic liquidity). The City’s cash flow shall be updated on a daily basis and will be considered prior to the investment of securities, which will reduce the necessity to sell investments for liquidity purposes. 4.3. Yield (Return on Investment) The City's investment portfolio shall be designed with the objective of attaining a market-average rate of return throughout budgetary and economic cycles taking into account the investment risk constraints and liquidity needs. The return on investments is to be accorded secondary importance compared to the safety and liquidity objectives described above. The core of investments will focus on relatively low risk securities with an expectation of earning a reasonable return relative to the risk being assumed. It is the general policy of the City to hold investments until market value equals or exceeds amortized cost or book value of the security. Securities shall not be sold prior to maturity with the following exceptions: A. a declining credit security could be sold early to minimize loss of principal; B. a simultaneous purchase of a security and the sale of another (security swap) to enhance the quality, yield, or target duration in the portfolio; or C. a sale of a specific security prior to its maturity and a capital gain or loss recorded in order to improve the credit quality, liquidity, or rate of return of the portfolio in response to market conditions and/or City risk preferences; D. general liquidity needs of the investment portfolio require that a security be sold;     City Council 18 – 10 6/3/2025 July 1, 2025 - June 30, 2026 City of Santa - Annual Statement of Investment Policy Page 5 E. Pre-payment of City debt or contribution servicing obligation. In the event the City is presented with an option for prepayment of a City debt or contribution servicing obligation, the following analysis will be conducted by with regards to a comparison between the amortized savings, which may be realized by exercising such prepayment option and: i. the current portfolio yield; ii. the trend of the debt or contribution servicing obligation; iii. whether variances in the trend are substantial; iv. the City’s net cash position; and v. the market value of investment instrument(s) recommended by staff to be liquidated to fulfill a prepayment election. When selling a security prior to maturity, City Investment Officials and/or officers (see generally subsection 5.1 et seq. - Investment Authority and Responsibility) must be prepared to justify the reasons and explain any gains or losses. Compliance with the investment policy does not measure return, but rather manages risk. Policy compliance does not provide a benchmark to meet or exceed, but is a model to follow. The City will benchmark its investment to an agreed upon treasury index. The City shall strive to maintain one hundred percent (100%) investment of idle funds after consideration for a compensating balance to cover the cost of services provided by the City’s depository bank. The funds available for investment are determined by cash flow projections updated daily. Investments are monitored so that legal limits on types of investments are not exceeded.     City Council 18 – 11 6/3/2025 July 1, 2025 - June 30, 2026 City of Santa - Annual Statement of Investment Policy Page 6 5.0 DELGATION OF AUTHORITY 5.1 Investment Authority and Responsibility The authority for conducting investment transactions resides with the Executive Director of Finance and Management Services Agency (FMSA) as chief fiscal officer and ex officio City Treasurer.

Before seeking City Council approval for participation in one or more additional investment pools/money market mutual funds, the Executive Director for FMSA or his/her designees will conduct a thorough investigation the prospective pool prior to recommending City investment. Before recommending investing in a prospective pool, the following issues must be reviewed and considered: The pool must meet the requirements of state statue description of eligible investment securities, and a written statement of investment policy and objectives. A description of interest calculations and how it is distributed, and how gains and losses are treated. i. A description of how the securities are safeguarded (including the settlement processes), and how often the securities are priced and the program audited. ii. A description of who may invest in the program, size and frequency of minimum and maximum deposits, how many withdrawal transactions are allowed (daily, monthly, quarter, annually, etc.), and whether advance notice is required for withdrawal transactions. iii. A description of how and who in the governing body of the program is     City Council 18 – 20 6/3/2025 July 1, 2025 - June 30, 2026 City of Santa - Annual Statement of Investment Policy Page 15 authorized to make program changes, including frequency. The description must include how program participants are informed of program changes and impacts. iv. A schedule for receiving statements and portfolio listings. v. A description of how reserves, retained earnings, etc. are utilized by the pool. vi. A model of the fee schedule, and when and how it is assessed. vii.

Upon approval for participation in one or more additional investment pools the FMSA investment staff shall thereafter on an annual basis investigate and reconfirm the pool’s compliance with items listed above and shall monitor the pool’s performance reports. 11.0 COLLATERALIZATION/SECURITY FOR DEPOSIT OF PUBLIC FUNDS Money must be deposited in state or national banks, state or federal savings associations or state or federal credit unions in the State of California. It may be in inactive deposits, active deposits or interest-bearing active deposits. The deposits cannot exceed the amount of the bank's or savings and loan's paid up capital and surplus. The bank or savings and loan must secure the active and inactive deposits with eligible securities having a market value of one-hundred, ten percent (110%) of the total amount of the deposits. State law also allows as an eligible security, first trust deeds having a value of one-hundred, fifty percent (150%) of the total amount of the deposits. A third class of collateral is letters of credit drawn on the Federal Home Loan Bank (FHLB). The Treasurer may waive, at his/her discretion, security for that portion of a deposit which is insured pursuant to federal law. Currently, the first two-hundred, fifty-thousand dollars ($250,000) of a deposit is federally insured. 12.0 SAFEKEEPING AND CUSTODY 12.1 Perfected Interest and Delivery versus Payment In accordance with California Government Code Section 53601, to protect against potential losses caused by collapse of individual securities dealers, all securities owned by the City, except securities used as collateral for repurchase agreements, shall be kept in safekeeping with "perfected interest" by the City’s custodial bank or a third party bank trust department, acting as agent for the City under the terms of a custody agreement executed by the bank and by the City. Perfected interest refers to establishment of a superior ownership right in and legal control over the securities assets held by the bank custodian on the City’s behalf and is intended to protect the City from the custodial bank’s own creditors in the event of     City Council 18 – 21 6/3/2025 July 1, 2025 - June 30, 2026 City of Santa - Annual Statement of Investment Policy Page 16 a bank default and filing for bankruptcy. All securities, excepting investments which are not deliverable (such as LAIF, California CLASS Prime Fund, direct time certificates of deposit, and money market mutual funds), will be received and delivered using standard “delivery versus payment”. Delivery versus payment refers to delivery of securities with an exchange of money for the securities at the time of delivery, rather than delivery of securities with an exchange of a signed receipt for the securities. 13.0 DIVERSIFICATION The purpose of diversification is to reduce overall portfolio risk while attaining market rates of return and to enable the City to meet all anticipated cash requirements. The investment portfolio shall consist of various types of securities approved by state statute and this Statement of Investments Policy. Investments shall vary in issuers, asset classes, industries and maturities to meet City’s financial obligations. Diversifying the investment portfolio will help mitigate the loss of funds as a result of failure of any one issuer. Investments shall further be diversified between structures and imbedded options within the security. The investments shall be diversified by: • Limiting investments to avoid over-concentration in securities of a specific issuer (excluding treasury bills). • Limiting investment in securities that have higher credit risks. • Limiting certificates of deposit to the maximum federally insured amount. • Investing in securities with varying maturities. • Investing a minimum percentage of the total portfolio as established by the FMSA Investment Advisory Committee in highly marketable short-term treasuries, checking accounts with interest, government pooled account, or a combination of all three (See Section 4.1 (A)(iv)). 14.0 INTERNAL CONTROLS The Executive Director for FMSA is responsible for establishing and maintaining an internal control structure designed to ensure that the assets of the entity are protected from loss, theft or misuse. The Finance Department, with oversight and approval of the Executive Director for FMSA, has developed a system of internal investment controls and a segregation of responsibilities of investment functions in order to assure an adequate system of internal control over the investment function. No investment personnel may engage in an investment transaction except as provided for under the terms of this policy and the procedure established by the Executive Director for FMSA.

Accounting staff also verifies investment activities and holdings on a regular basis which are reviewed by the FMSA Investment Advisory Committee. The Executive Director for FMSA, at his/her discretion, shall establish a process for annual independent reviews by an external auditor to the extent contemplated by generally accepted auditing standards, during the course of the City’s annual audit. 15.0 REPORTING Government Code Section 53646(b)(1) previously mandated that annual investment policies and quarterly reports be rendered to the legislative body (for the City of Santa Ana - the City Council). AB 2853 amended Government Code Section 53646 making these requirements permissive rather than mandatory. Although the Annual Statement of Investment Policy and Quarterly Reports to City Council are no longer required, we believe it to be both prudent and in keeping with the spirit of the City’s Sunshine Policy that these documents continue to provided. The Executive Director for FMSA shall therefore continue to render to the City Council an annual Statement of Investment Policy and regular reports to the City Manager and the City Council containing detailed information on all securities, investments, and moneys of the City. Pursuant to Government Code 53607 the reports shall include monthly transactions for the reporting period. The reports will be submitted to the City Manager and City Council on a monthly basis and will be rendered formally to the City Council on a quarterly basis as part of a scheduled open City Council Meeting agenda within forty-five (45) days following the end of each quarter. The report will contain the following information on the funds that are subject to this investment policy: 1) Type of investment and name of issuer; 2) Date of maturity; 3) Par amount;     City Council 18 – 23 6/3/2025 July 1, 2025 - June 30, 2026 City of Santa - Annual Statement of Investment Policy Page 18 4) Dollar amount invested in all securities, and investments and monies held by the City (amortized cost or book value); 5) Weighted average maturity of the investments; 6) Current market value as of the date of report of all funds held by the City and under the management of any outside party that is not also a local agency or LAIF and the source of the valuation; 7) Source of the market value information; 8) A list of the any funds, investments or programs, including loans, under the management of contracted parties such as LAIF, investment. pools, outside money managers, and securities lending agents); 9) A statement of compliance with the investment policy or an explanation for non-compliance; and 10) A statement of the local agency’s ability to meet its pool’s expenditure requirements for the next six months, as well as an explanation of why sufficient money will not be available if that is the case. 16.0 POLICY CONSIDERATIONS 18.0 Exemptions Any investment currently held that does not meet the guidelines of this policy shall be exempted from the requirements of this policy as long as it was in compliance with State of California law and the City’s investment policy in effect at the time of purchase. At maturity or liquidation, such monies shall be reinvested only as provided by this policy. 18.1 Stabilization Fund Except for cash in certain restricted and special funds, the consolidation of cash balances from all funds and the maintenance of portfolio liquidity (both static and dynamic) as provided for in this policy taken together with the monthly affirmation to the City Manager and City Councilmembers of the City’s ability to meet its pool’s expenditure requirements for the next six months shall be deemed to functionally meet and exceed the requirements of Article VI., Sec. 610, of the City of Santa Ana Charter as relates to the maintenance of a stabilization fund. 18.2 Amendments In the event this policy is amended prior to the end of its twelve month fiscal year term the amended Statement of Investment Policy shall be resubmitted to City Council for review and adoption by City Council Resolution. 18.3 Approval This Statement of Investment Policy is approved by City Council on this 03th day of June, 2025 pursuant to City Council Resolution # 2025-2 .     City Council 18 – 24 6/3/2025 July 1, 2025 - June 30, 2026 City of Santa - Annual Statement of Investment Policy Page 19 17.0 POLICY REVIEW, CERTIFICATION, AND ADOPTION 15.1 Policy Review This Statement of Investment Policy shall be reviewed at least annually to ensure its consistency with the overall objectives of preservation of PRINCIPAL, LIQUIDITY, AND YIELD, and to: 1) reflect changes in applicable California state codes, 2) maintain its relevance to current financial and economic trends, and 3) meet the needs of the City of Santa Ana. 15.2 Policy Certification This certified Statement of Investment Policy will be resubmitted to the Association of Public Treasurers of the United States and Canada (APTUS&C) and the California Municipal Treasurers Association (CMTA) for review and re-certification every five (5) years, or more often in the event of significant legislative changes, or changes in industry standards, or substantive non-administrative modifications to the body of the policy statement, exclusive of revisions or additions to appendices or glossaries.

Harbor Blvd.) June 3, 2025 Page 2 5 0 1 3 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY City Ventures Homebuilding, LLC, representing property owner John Rezvani, Managing Member of 205 S Harbor Plaza, LLC, is requesting approval of Density Bonus Agreement (DBA) No. 2025-02 to allow the construction of thirty-six (36) attached for-sale townhomes, with four (4) units proposed as affordable to moderate income households earning 80 to 120-percent of the area median income (AMI), on a 1.81-acre site located at 125 and 205 S. Harbor Boulevard. As proposed, the project will utilize waivers from development standards and/or development concessions as memorialized by the density bonus agreement pursuant to California Government Code Sections 65915 through 65918 and Santa Ana Municipal Code (SAMC) Sections 41-1600 through 41-1607. The request satisfies the purpose and intent of the Harbor Mixed Use Corridor Specific Plan (SP2) to provide additional affordable housing stock to an underserved segment of the region’s population. As a result, staff recommends approval of the DBA. Planning Commission Action On April 28, 2025, the Planning Commission held a public hearing for the project and voted 5:0:2, with Chair Oliva and Commissioner Pham absent, to approve Vesting Tentative Tract Map (VTTM) No. 2025-02 and to approved certain deviations (a concession and waivers or reductions in development standards), modifying both sets of conditions to require varied paint colors on plaster/stucco areas to distinguish units and aesthetically enhance verticality of individual units. Moreover, pursuant to Section 41-1607 of the SAMC, the Planning Commission made the required findings to approve waivers from the development standards and a development concession, to be memorialized in the Density Bonus Agreement. Pursuant to Section 41-1602(d), the DBA requires City Council approval. DISCUSSION Table 1: Project and Location Information Item Information Project Address and Council Ward 125 & 205 S.

Harbor Blvd.) June 3, 2025 Page 3 5 0 1 3 Item Information Use Permissions Multi-Family Residential (permitted under Harbor Mixed Use Transit Corridor Plan, as part of SB 330 request) Zoning Code Sections Affected Uses Article XVI.I (Density Bonus); Corridor subzone within the Harbor Mixed Use Transit Corridor Plan (SP-2); and Chapter 34 (Subdivisions) Project Description The project includes the construction of a new residential development consisting of 36 townhouse units and 9,567 square feet of open space (common and private combined). Additionally, the applicant is proposing to merge the properties at 125 and 205 S. Harbor Boulevard through an administrative lot merger process. The development will consist of four residential buildings that are three-stories in height and will provide onsite bicycle parking. The units will include private balconies, with some offering ground floor patios. The units have been designed with families in mind, offering 13 four-bedroom units and 23 three- bedroom units, and of the three-bedroom units, three are designed as live/work units. Every unit will contain a two-car garage at ground level (tuck-under building design) with residential units above, and the project site will contain ten guest parking spaces, for a total of 82 parking spaces, exceeding the requirements of SP-2. However, to proactively address parking management policies, staff is recommending conditions of approval similar to those for other residential infill projects that would incorporate parking management practices in the Covenants, Conditions, and Restrictions (CC&Rs) that will be recorded against the property. Of the total units in the development, four units are proposed to be affordable to moderate- income households earning 80-120 percent of the AMI, which is currently set at $154,800, adjusted for a four-person household size, as published by the California Department of Housing and Community Development (HCD). The affordable units will be two (2) three- bedroom, three-bath units and two (2) four-bedroom, four-bath units. The proposed affordable units will be 1,352 and 1,610 square feet in size and will contain full kitchens, bedrooms, bathrooms, and open/common (living) areas. Approximately 7,616 square feet or approximately 12 percent (12%) of the total site area will be open space provided through private exterior ground-level porches/front yards and upper decks distributed throughout the site. The remainder of the open space will be provided as a 1,951-square-foot common open courtyard within the site’s interior. The design and layout of the proposed common open space would function as a passive outdoor area, providing functional amenities to residents (e.g., picnic tables, BBQ, etc.). The open space would feature a shade trellis, hardscaping materials, trees, vines, and shrubs. The proposed landscaping includes, but is not limited to, pink trumpet, purple orchid, tulip, sweet bay, African sumac, southern magnolia, fern pine, Brisbane box, and crape myrtle trees, as well as a variety of shrubs. Lastly, each unit will also contain decks/private balconies for the use of each unit’s owners.     City Council 19 – 3 6/3/2025 VTTM No. 2025-02 and DBA No. 2025-02 – Santa Ana 9 Townhomes (125 and 205 S. Harbor Blvd.) June 3, 2025 Page 4 5 0 1 3 The project features a contemporary architectural style similar to many multiple-family or mixed-use residential communities under construction in Santa Ana and the region. The overall design, massing, features, and materials of the new construction will be compatible with the scale of buildings in the area. The contemporary industrial architectural style would include stucco finish, corrugated metal, brick veneer, metal awnings, and high quality architectural detailing (e.g., exterior lighting, entry doors, fenestration, etc.). Moreover, the residential structures are designed to fully screen all mechanical equipment within the structure, parapet walls, and landscaping. Overall, the project will include a design and solid construction materials that will ensure that the project ages well for the duration of the building’s lifetime. Density Bonus The California Density Bonus law allows developers proposing five or more residential units to seek increases in base density for providing on-site housing units in exchange for providing affordable units on site. To help make constructing on-site affordable units feasible, the law allows developers to seek up to five incentives/concessions and an unlimited number of waivers or reductions in development standards. The incentives/concessions are generally reductions in site development standards or modification of zoning code requirements or architectural design requirements, and waivers are essentially variances from development standards (a site or construction condition). The first version of the Density Bonus Law was adopted in 1979 and has since been amended at various times. In early 2017, the law was amended to restrict the ability of local jurisdictions to require studies to “justify” the density bonus and requested incentives/waivers and places the onus on local jurisdictions to prove that the incentives/concessions or waivers are not financially warranted. Pursuant to the California Density Bonus law, a project’s affordability level is determined by dividing the number of proposed affordable units by the allowable “base” density (i.e., 50 du/ac). Moreover, the State density bonus law states that units added by a density bonus are excluded from the calculations. The base density for the 1.81-acre site at 50 du/ac is 91 units. However, only 36 units are being proposed, which is well within the allowable base density. Of the total units in the development, four units are proposed to be affordable. Therefore, the project would have an 11-percent (11%) affordability rate. As such, State density bonus law allows the developer to request a maximum density bonus of six percent (6%). Due to the project’s 11-percent (11%) affordability rate, the developer can seek one density bonus incentive/concession and unlimited waivers, pursuant to Section 65915 et al. of the California Government Code (Density Bonuses and Other Incentives). In addition, California Assembly Bill No. 2345, approved September 28, 2020, revised the State Density Bonus     City Council 19 – 4 6/3/2025 VTTM No. 2025-02 and DBA No. 2025-02 – Santa Ana 9 Townhomes (125 and 205 S. Harbor Blvd.) June 3, 2025 Page 5 5 0 1 3 Law originally adopted in 1979 to provide additional benefits for projects that include qualifying affordable housing. For this project, the developer is not requesting a state density bonus for additional units but will avail themselves of the incentive/concession and waivers that are required to be provided by State density bonus law for projects with the requisite affordability. The purpose of the State Density Bonus Law is to encourage the development and availability of affordable housing. Pursuant to California Government Code Sections 65915 (d)(1) and 65915 (e)(1), a local jurisdiction is limited in its ability to deny requested incentives, concessions, and waivers. The City has analyzed the project and has identified several areas of potential impacts; however, the conditions of approval proposed for the project are intended to address the project’s potential impacts. Pursuant to SB 330 and the General Plan Land Use Element, the developer has selected the Harbor Mixed Use Transit Corridor Specific Plan (SP-2) development standards for a tuck-under building type to design the projects. However, pursuant to the Density Bonus Law, the developer is seeking a specific concession and waivers from certain SP-2 standards to facilitate development of the project. Table 2 below outlines the concession and waivers requested by the applicant and approved by the Planning Commission on April 28, 2025.

Harbor Blvd.) June 3, 2025 Page 6 5 0 1 3 the following parking management practices, to be incorporated into the final, recorded CC&Rs, and applicable throughout the life of the project: •Requiring onsite parking permits (such as stickers or hang-tags) for any parking in the surface guest parking spaces; •Policies for maximum time vehicles may be parked in the surface guest spaces; •Policies for towing unauthorized vehicles; vehicles parked in unauthorized locations, such as fire lanes; vehicles parking in surface guest parking without a sticker, hang- tag, or other identifiers; and vehicles parked longer than any maximum guest parking timeframes allowed; and •Routine garage inspections to ensure garages are available for vehicle parking. Affordable Housing Opportunity and Creation Ordinance The proposed development is subject to the requirements of the City’s Affordable Housing Opportunity and Creation Ordinance (AHOCO), which requires rental unit developments to provide a minimum number of affordable units, depending on the proposed affordability level (i.e., low income, very low income, extremely low income, or a combination). In this case, the developer is proposing to provide moderate-income for-sale units. Pursuant to the AHOCO, the applicant is required to provide five percent (5%) moderate-income onsite affordable units. The project exceeds the five percent (5%) affordable housing requirement for the ownership category of the City’s Affordable Housing Opportunity and Creation Ordinance (AHOCO) by providing four (4) onsite units to be affordable to moderate-income (80- 120%) households and significantly enhancing the opportunity for income eligible Santa Ana households to own a home in the City at a lower cost. The units will be dispersed throughout the community. The affordable units will be two (2) three-bedroom, three-bath units and two (2) four-bedroom, four-bath units. The proposed affordable units will be 1,352 and 1,610 square feet in size and will contain full kitchens, bedrooms, bathrooms, and open/common (living) areas. The developer’s Inclusionary Housing Plan has been reviewed and approved by the City’s Housing Division. Public Notification and Community Outreach Project notifications were posted, published, and mailed in accordance with City and State regulations. In addition, staff contacted the provided contacts for the Riverview West and Santa Anita Neighborhood Association to ensure they were aware of the project and Planning Commission public hearing. As the City Council's approval of this agreement does not constitute a public hearing, no public notification or community outreach is required under applicable state law or local ordinances prior to Council action.     City Council 19 – 6 6/3/2025 VTTM No. 2025-02 and DBA No. 2025-02 – Santa Ana 9 Townhomes (125 and 205 S. Harbor Blvd.) June 3, 2025 Page 7 5 0 1 3 ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT Pursuant to the requirements of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), an Environmental Impact Report (EIR) was prepared and certified in 2014 in order to address the potential environmental impacts associated with the Harbor Mixed Use Corridor Specific Plan. A mitigation monitoring and reporting program (MMRP), findings of fact, and a statement of overriding consideration were adopted with the 2014 EIR. As proposed, the development is not anticipated to have additional environmental impacts not addressed in the 2014 EIR. Furthermore, in accordance with the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), the recommended action is exempt from further review under Section 15195 (Residential Infill Exemption), as this project meets all the threshold criteria set forth in Section 15192 (Threshold Requirements for Exemptions). This exemption applies to projects or sites that: 1. Meet the threshold criteria set forth in section 15192; provided that with respect to the requirement in section15192(b) regarding community-level environmental review, such review must be certified or adopted within five years of the date that the lead agency deems the application for the project to be complete pursuant to Section 65943 of the Government Code. 2. Meet both of the following size criteria: A. The site of the project is not more than four acres in total area. B. The project does not include any single level building that exceeds 100,000 square feet. 3. Meet both of the following requirements regarding location: A. The project is a residential project on an infill site. B. The project is within one-half mile of a major transit stop. 4. Meet both of the following requirements regarding number of units: A. The project does not contain more than 100 residential units. B. The project promotes higher density infill housing. The lead agency may establish its own criteria for determining whether the project promotes higher density infill housing except in either of the following two circumstances: 1) A project with a density of at least 20 units per acre is conclusively presumed to promote higher density infill housing. 2) A project with a density of at least 10 units per acre and a density greater than the average density of the residential properties within 1,500 feet shall be presumed to promote higher density infill housing unless the preponderance of the evidence demonstrates otherwise. 5. Meets the following requirements regarding availability of affordable housing: The project would result in housing units being made available to moderate, low, or very low income families as set forth in either A or B below:     City Council 19 – 7 6/3/2025 VTTM No. 2025-02 and DBA No. 2025-02 – Santa Ana 9 Townhomes (125 and 205 S. Harbor Blvd.) June 3, 2025 Page 8 5 0 1 3 A. The project meets one of the following criteria, and the project developer provides sufficient legal commitments to the appropriate local agency to ensure the continued availability and use of the housing units as set forth below at monthly housing costs determined pursuant to paragraph (3) of subdivision (h) of Section 65589.5 of the Government Code. 1) At least 10-percent of the housing is sold to families of moderate income, or 2) Not less than 10-percent of the housing is rented to families of low income, or 3) Not less than 5-percent of the housing is rented families of very low income. B. If the project does not result in housing units being available as set forth in subdivision (A) above, then the project developer has paid or will pay in-lieu fees pursuant to a local ordinance in an amount sufficient to result in the development of an equivalent number of units that would otherwise be required pursuant to subparagraph (A). The project site is not more than four acres in area, the project does not include any single level building exceeding 100,000 square feet, and the project is an infill development within one-half mile of a major transit stop. Moreover, the development promotes higher density infill housing, does not contain more than 100 residential units, and results in housing units made available to moderate income families. Based on this analysis, a Notice of Exemption, Environmental Review No. 2024-80, will be filed for this project. FISCAL IMPACT There is no fiscal impact associated with this action. EXHIBITS 1.

The City Council of the City of Santa Ana hereby finds, determines and declares as follows: A. City Ventures Homebuilding, LLC (“Applicant”), on behalf of John Rezvani, Managing Member of the 205 S Harbor Plaza, LLC (“Property Owner”), is requesting approval of Density Bonus Agreement No. 2025-02 (DBA-2025- 02) to allow the construction of a thirty-six unit attached townhome development, four of which are proposed as onsite moderate-income affordable units, for the property located at 125 and 205 South Harbor Boulevard (“Project”). B. The California Density Bonus generally law allows developers to seek increases in base density for providing on-site housing units in exchange for providing affordable units on site. To help make constructing on-site affordable units feasible, the law also generally allows developers to seek incentives/concessions or waivers of, or reductions in, development standards. C. Section 41-1607 of the Santa Ana Municipal Code (SAMC) requires an application for a deviation (incentives/concessions and/or waivers or reductions) to be approved by the Planning Commission. D.

On June 3, 2025, the City Council of the City of Santa Ana held a duly noticed public meeting and, at that time, considered approval of Density Bonus Agreement No. 2025-02. G. The City Council hereby approves Density Bonus Agreement No. 2025-02. This Agreement allows for the construction of the proposed Project in accordance with the provisions of State Density Bonus Law and SAMC Section 41-1607, and in accordance with Vesting Tentative Tract Map No. 2025-02 (County Map No. 19329), as conditioned. Section 2. Pursuant to the requirements of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), an Environmental Impact Report (EIR) was prepared and certified in 2014 in order to address the potential environmental impacts associated with the Harbor Mixed Use Corridor Specific Plan. A mitigation monitoring and reporting program (MMRP), findings of fact, and a statement of overriding consideration were adopted with the 2014 EIR. As proposed, the development is not anticipated to have additional environmental impacts not addressed in the 2014 EIR. Furthermore, in accordance with the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), the recommended action is exempt from further review under Section 15195 (Residential Infill Exemption), as this Project meets all the threshold criteria set forth in Section 15192 (Threshold Requirements for Exemptions). This exemption applies to projects or sites that: 1. Meet the threshold criteria set forth in section 15192; provided that with respect to the requirement in section 15192(b) regarding community-level environmental review, such review must be certified or adopted within five years of the date that the lead agency deems the application for the project to be complete pursuant to Section 65943 of the Government Code. 2. Meet both of the following size criteria: A. The site of the project is not more than four acres in total area. B. The project does not include any single level building that exceeds 100,000 square feet. 3. Meet both of the following requirements regarding location: A. The project is a residential project on an infill site. B. The project is within one-half mile of a major transit stop. 4. Meet both of the following requirements regarding number of units: A. The project does not contain more than 100 residential units. B. The project promotes higher density infill housing. The lead agency may establish its own criteria for determining whether the project promotes higher density infill housing except in either of the following two circumstances: 1) A project with a density of at least 20 units per acre is conclusively presumed to promote higher density infill housing. 2) A project with a density of at least 10 units per acre and a density greater than the average density of the residential properties within 1,500 feet shall be presumed to promote higher density infill hou sing unless the preponderance of the evidence demonstrates otherwise.     City Council 19 – 10 6/3/2025 Resolution No. 2025-XX Page 3 of 5 5. Meets the following requirements regarding availability of affordable housing: The project would result in housing units being made available to moderate, low, or very low income families as set forth in either A or B below: A. The project meets one of the following criteria, and the project developer provides sufficient legal commitments to the appropriate local agency to ensure the continued availability and use of the housing units as set forth below at monthly housing costs determined pursuant to paragraph (3) of subdivision (h) of Section 65589.5 of the Government Code. 1) At least 10-percent of the housing is sold to families of moderate income, or 2) Not less than 10-percent of the housing is rented to families of low income, or 3) Not less than 5-percent of the housing is rented families of very low income. B. If the project does not result in housing units being available as set forth in subdivision (A) above, then the project developer has pa id or will pay in-lieu fees pursuant to a local ordinance in an amount sufficient to result in the development of an equivalent number of units that would otherwise be required pursuant to subparagraph (A). The project site is not more than four acres in area, the project does not include any single level building exceeding 100,000 square feet, and the project is an infill development within one-half mile of a major transit stop. Moreover, the development promotes higher density infill housing, does not contain more than 100 residential units, and results in housing units made available to moderate income families. Based on this analysis, a Notice of Exemption, Environmental Review No. 2024 -80, will be filed for this project. However, all applicable mitigation measures in the original EIR and associated MMRP will be enforced. Section 3. The Applicant shall indemnify, protect, defend and hold the City and/or any of its officials, officers, employees, agents, departments, agencies, authorized volunteers, and instrumentalities thereof, harmless from any and all claims, demands, lawsuits, writs of mandamus, referendum, and other proceedings (whether legal, equitable, declaratory, administrative or adjudicatory in nature), and alternative dispute resolution procedures (including, but not limited to arbitrations, mediations, and such other procedures), judgments, orders, and decisions (collectively “Actions”), brought against the City and/or any of its officials, officers, employees, agents, departments, agencies, and instrumentalities thereof, that challenge, attack, or seek to modify, set aside, void, or annul, any action of, or any permit or approval issued by the City and/or any of its officials, officers, employees, agents, departments, agencies, and instrumentalities thereof (including actions approved by the voters of the City) for or concerning the project, whether such Actions are brought under the Ralph M.

City shall have the right to review and verify said records without a fee from City to Developer to ensure that the commencement date specified by Developer for an Affordable Unit coincides with the date that the initial Affordable Unit received all permits from City required for occupancy of the Unit. In the event that a conflict exists between the date specified by Developer for the commencement of the Affordability Term for an Affordable Unit and the date specified by City's issuance of all required permits for occupancy of the Unit, the date specified by City's issuance of all required permits for occupancy of the Unit shall control. 3.3 Levels of Affordability.

Prior to the sale of any Affordable Unit, Developer shall provide the City with at least thirty (30) days’ written notice of the determined amount, and the City shall have ten (10) days to approve or disapprove of the proposed Affordable Sales Price. The Affordable Sales Price for the initial sale of the Affordable Units shall be as calculated in Exhibit I. 3.4 Notice to City. Prior to entering into an agreement for the transfer of an Affordable Unit, Developer shall provide at least thirty (30) days written notice to the City, along     City Council 19 – 24 6/3/2025 55394.00101\43724951.1 CITY COUNCIL DRAFT Page 12 with a proposed written agreement setting forth the terms of the sale, including the proposed Affordable Sales Price. 3.5 Homebuyer Documents.

On an annual basis, the City’s Program Manager will send the Homebuyer an Occupancy Recertification Form to be filled out and returned to the City within thirty (30) days of receipt. The Owner shall affirm that they are occupying the Affordable Unit as their Primary Residence. The Owner will be required to submit copies of two current utility bills, or other evidence of occupancy that is acceptable to the City, as part of the annual recertification process. 3.5.3 The Affordable Housing Resale Restrictions shall provide for the terms of resale and the distribution of proceeds from any sale, as follows: (a) The Homebuyer shall execute the City Promissory Note evidencing Homebuyer's agreement to pay the City Equity Share, and record the City Deed of Trust against the Affordable Unit to secure the City Promissory Note. (b) During the Affordability Term, prior to the Transfer of an Affordable Unit, each Homebuyer shall agree to the City Promissory Note, and execute the Affordable Housing Resale Restrictions, the City Deed of Trust, the Notice of Restrictions, and the Request for Default, which shall be recorded against each Affordable Unit. In the event a Homebuyer seeks to Transfer an Affordable Unit during the Affordability Term, the City, in its sole and absolute discretion, may approve an assignment and assumption agreement for subsequent sales of the Property to Eligible Households during the Affordability Term. The Affordable Housing Resale Restrictions shall provide that Affordable Units shall only be Transferred to an Eligible Household for an Affordable Sales Price during the Affordability Term, and the City Deed of Trust securing the City Promissory Note shall remain a lien on the Property. (c) During the Affordability Term, if a Transfer complies with the requirements of the Affordable Housing Resale Restrictions, then the Homebuyer selling the Affordable Unit shall be entitled to closing proceeds after payment of a First Lien for the Affordable Unit, and the City Equity Share shall be an obligation of the new Homebuyer, pursuant to the City Promissory Note and City Deed of Trust recorded against the Property. (d) Following the expiration of the Affordability Term for the Affordable Unit, the City Equity Share shall become due and payable upon a Transfer of the Property.     City Council 19 – 25 6/3/2025 55394.00101\43724951.1 CITY COUNCIL DRAFT Page 13 (e) The City Equity Share includes an amount equal to the “initial subsidy” and “proportionate share of appreciation,” in accordance with California Government Code section 65915(c)(2), and shall be determined as follows: (i) An amount equal to the difference between the fair market value of the Affordable Unit at the time of the initial purchase and the Affordable Sales Price (the “Initial Subsidy”), plus (ii) An amount equal to the product of (1) the appreciation of the Affordable Unit, as measured by the increase in the fair market value of the Affordable Unit at the time of the sale to the Homebuyer and the resale of the Affordable Unit, and (2) the percentage that the Initial Subsidy represented of the fair market value of the Affordable Unit when it was purchased by the Homebuyer (the “Proportionate Share of Appreciation”). (f) Payment of the City Equity Share is subject to the following: (1) payment to satisfy a First Lien from a primary lender, as approved by City at the time of the initial sale, or subsequent approval in the event of a refinance event, and (2) an amount equal to the down payment and the cost of improvements paid by the Homebuyer. Following payment of the City Equity Share, the Homebuyer shall receive the remainder of any closing proceeds, less any costs of closing, including any and all real estate broker commissions. (g) When the City Equity Share becomes due, the proceeds from the sale of the Property shall first satisfy a First Lien, and the Homebuyer shall receive proceeds for the value of any improvements and any down payment actually paid. The City Equity Share shall be paid prior to disbursement of remaining sales proceeds to the Homebuyer. 3.5.4 In order to assist City with calculation of the City Equity Share, Developer or a Homebuyer, as applicable, shall provide City with a calculation of the fair market value of each Affordable Unit at the initial sale which shall be determined as follows: (a) For the initial sale, Developer shall propose to the City a fair market value based on a price per square foot that is based on comparable sales of other units within the Project. (b) Except for the initial sales subject to sub-paragraph (a), prior to the sale of an Affordable Unit, a qualified appraiser shall conduct an appraisal of the Affordable Unit to determine fair market value without the restrictions of this Agreement. If a seller or prospective Homebuyer disputes the appraised value, then that party may pay for the costs of a second appraisal and, if there is still disagreement, the average of the two appraisals shall be used to determine the fair market value. (c) The fair market value of the Affordable Unit, as determined in accordance with the above, shall be provided to the City for approval or disapproval, which City shall provide within thirty (30) days of receipt of the proposed fair market value. If City does not provide a written response within such time period, then the proposed fair market value shall be deemed approved by the City.     City Council 19 – 26 6/3/2025 55394.00101\43724951.1 CITY COUNCIL DRAFT Page 14 3.6 Alternative Compliance.

If Developer is still unable to identify a Homebuyer within an additional 90 days following implementation of the additional marketing plan approved by the City, Developer may sell the Affordable Unit to a qualified nonprofit housing corporation pursuant to, and subject to the requirements of, the State Density Bonus Law (“Nonprofit Unit”). At close of such a sale, provided that the Developer has complied with all requirements of the State Density Bonus Law, including but not limited to recording an equity sharing agreement against the Nonprofit Unit required under Government Code Section 65915(c)(2)(C), the Nonprofit Unit shall not be subject to any requirement of this Agreement and this Agreement shall terminate as to and cease to be a burden on or encumbrance against that Nonprofit Unit. Upon Developer’s request in connection with a sale of a Nonprofit Unit approved by the City, City agrees to provide documentation, in a form subject to City’s reasonable approval, terminating this Agreement as to that Nonprofit Unit at the close of the sale. 4.

Trustor shall pay when due each obligation secured by or reducible to a lien, charge or encumbrance which now does or later may encumber or appear to encumber all or part of the Property or any interest therein, whether or not such lien, charge or encumbrance is or would be senior or subordinate to this Deed of Trust; provided however, Trustor will not be required to discharge the lien of the deed of trust securing the First Mortgage Note (the “First Mortgage Deed of Trust”), and Trustor will not be required to pay any tax, charge, lien or     City Council 19 – 64 6/3/2025 55394.00101\43724951.1 CITY COUNCIL DRAFT Page 52 Exhibit D assessment described in this Section so long as Trustor is actively contesting its validity in good faith and by appropriate legal proceedings that will operate to prevent the enforcement of the lien or forfeiture of the Property or any part thereof. Trustor shall post security for the payment of such contested claims as may be requested by the City. 4. Protection of Security. If Trustor fails to perform any of the covenants and agreements set forth in this Deed of Trust, or if any action or proceeding is commenced that materially affects City’s interest in the Property, including, but not limited to, default under any senior lienholder document, eminent domain, insolvency, code enforcement, arrangements or proceedings involving a bankrupt or decedent, foreclosure of any mortgage secured by the Property or sale of the Property under a power of sale of any instrument secured by the Property, City, at its option, without releasing Trustor from any obligation hereunder, may upon notice to Trustor, make such appearance, disburse such sums and take such action as is necessary to protect City’s interest, including, but not limited to, the purchase of insurance, disbursement of reasonable attorneys’ fees and entry upon the Property to make repairs. Any amounts disbursed by City pursuant to this Section, with interest thereon, shall become additional indebtedness of Trustor secured by this Deed of Trust. Unless Trustor and City agree to other terms of payment, such amounts shall be payable upon notice from City to Trustor requesting payment thereof, and shall bear interest from the date of disbursement at the highest rate permissible under applicable law. Nothing contained in this Section shall require City to incur any expense or take any action hereunder. 5. Inspection. The City may make, or cause to be made, reasonable entries upon the Property and inspections of the Security; provided that the City will give Trustor reasonable notice of inspection. 6. Title Insurance. At Trustor’s expense, Trustor shall purchase a CLTA lender’s policy of title insurance for the benefit of City, insuring this Deed of Trust as a secondary lien on the Property, with no delinquent taxes or assessment liens appearing as exceptions to title. 7. Hazard Insurance. Trustor shall keep the Property insured by a standard all-risk property insurance policy with endorsements for vandalism, malicious mischief, and special extended perils, in the full replacement value of the improvements, and with endorsements for increases in costs due to changes in code and inflation, with loss payable to City and any superior trust deed holder, as their interests may appear, and any other insurance required by the City. The insurance carrier providing such insurance shall be licensed to do business in the State of California and may be chosen by Trustor, subject to approval by City. All insurance policies and renewals thereof shall be in a form acceptable to the City, and shall include a standard mortgagee clause with standard lender's endorsement in favor of the holder of any senior lien and the City as their interests may appear and in a form acceptable to the City. Trustor shall provide City with copies of all policies and renewals thereof, certificates of insurance, all renewal notices and all receipts of paid premiums. In the event of loss, Trustor shall give prompt notice to the insurance carrier and the City or its designated agent. The City, or its designated agent, may make proof of loss if not made promptly by Trustor. The policies shall include an endorsement providing that City shall receive thirty (30) days’ advance written notice of the cancellation, expiration or     City Council 19 – 65 6/3/2025 55394.00101\43724951.1 CITY COUNCIL DRAFT Page 53 Exhibit D termination or any material change in the coverage afforded by any of the insurance policies required under this Section. If the Property is acquired by the City, all right, title and interest of Trustor in and to any insurance policy and in and to the proceeds thereof resulting from damage to the Property prior to the sale or acquisition will pass to the City to the extent of the sums secured by this Deed of Trust immediately prior to such sale or acquisition, subject to the rights of the holder of any senior lien. Renewal policies and any replacement policies, together with premium receipts satisfactory to the City, shall be delivered to the City at least thirty (30) days prior to the expiration of existing policies. Neither Trustee nor the City shall by reason of accepting, rejecting, approving or obtaining insurance incur any liability for the existence, nonexistence, form or legal sufficiency of such insurance, or solvency of any insurer for payment of losses. The application of proceeds pursuant to this Section shall not cure or waive any default or notice of default hereunder or invalidate any act done pursuant to such notice. 8. Awards and Damages. Subject to the rights of senior lienholders, all judgments, awards of damages, settlements and compensation made in connection with or in lieu of (a) taking of all or any part of or any interest in the Property by or under assertion of the power of eminent domain, (b) any damage to or destruction of the Property or any part thereof by insured casualty, and (c) any other injury or damage to all or any part of the Property, are hereby assigned to and shall be applied to the restoration or repair of the Property (if applicable) or paid to the City. The City is authorized and empowered (but not required) to collect and receive any such sums and is authorized to apply them in whole or in part upon any indebtedness or obligation secured hereby, in such order and manner as the City shall determine at its option. The City shall be entitled to settle and adjust all claims under insurance policies provided under this Deed of Trust and may deduct and retain from the proceeds of such insurance the amount of all expenses incurred by it in connection with any such settlement or adjustment. All or any part of the amounts so collected and recovered by the City may be released to Trustor upon such conditions as the City may impose for its disposition. Application of all or any part of the amounts collected and received by the City or the release thereof shall not cure or waive any default under this Deed of Trust. If the Property is abandoned by Trustor, or if, after notice by City or its designated agent to Trustor that the condemnor or insurer offers to make an award or settle a claim for damages, Trustor fails to respond to City within thirty (30) days after the date such notice is mailed, City or its designated agent is authorized to collect and apply the proceeds, at City’s option, either to restoration or repair of the Property or to the sums secured by this Deed of Trust 9. Maintenance. Trustor shall maintain the Property and all structures and landscaping thereon in good condition and repair. Trustor agrees to complete installation of landscaping as approved by the City, and to diligently maintain and care for installed landscaping, using generally accepted methods of cultivation and watering. Trustor shall not remove or demolish any building located on the Property, and agrees to complete or restore promptly and in good and workmanlike manner any building which may be constructed, damaged or destroyed thereon, and to pay when due all claims for labor performed and materials furnished therefor, and to comply with all laws affecting the Property or requiring any alterations or improvements to be made thereon. Trustor shall not commit or permit waste thereof, and shall not commit or permit any act upon the Property in violation of applicable laws. Trustor will comply with all applicable     City Council 19 – 66 6/3/2025 55394.00101\43724951.1 CITY COUNCIL DRAFT Page 54 Exhibit D laws, ordinances and governmental regulations affecting the Property or requiring any alteration or improvement thereof, and will not suffer or permit any violations of any such law, ordinance or governmental regulation, nor of any covenant, condition or restriction affecting the Property. If there arises a condition in contravention of this Section, and if the Trustor has not cured such condition within thirty (30) days after receiving a notice from City of such a condition, then in addition to any other rights available to City, City shall have the right (but not the obligation) to perform all acts necessary to cure such condition, and to establish or enforce a lien or other encumbrance against the Property to recover its cost of cure. 10. Occupancy. Trustor shall occupy the Property as Trustor’s primary residence, and the Property shall be used as the primary residence of Trustor and Trustor’s household and for no other purpose. The Property shall not be leased or rented by Trustor to any person or entity other than as expressly permitted by the Affordable Housing Resale Restrictions or consented to by City in writing. The City shall have the right to monitor whether the Property is owner-occupied by requesting that Trustor provide City with a written certification under penalty of perjury that the Property is owner-occupied, accompanied by supporting documentation reasonably satisfactory to the City. 11. Transfer. Trustor shall not allow any Further Encumbrance or Transfer of the Property (as such terms are defined in the Affordable Housing Resale Restrictions) any without complying with all requirements of the Affordable Housing Resale Restrictions. 12. Assignment of Rents. Trustor hereby irrevocably, absolutely, presently and unconditionally assigns to City the rents, issues, revenue and profits of the Property. This is an absolute assignment and not an assignment for security only. Subject to the limitations on lease or rental of the Property as set forth herein and in the Affordable Housing Resale Restrictions, City hereby confers upon Trustor a license to collect and retain such rents, issues, revenue and profits, as they become due and payable prior to any Default hereunder. Upon the occurrence of any such Default, City may terminate such license without notice to or demand upon Trustor and without regard to the adequacy of any security for the indebtedness hereby secured, and may either in person, by agent, or by a receiver to be appointed by a court, enter upon and take possession of the Property or any part thereof, and sue for or otherwise collect such rents, issues, and profits, including those past due and unpaid, and apply the same, less costs and expenses of operation and collection, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, to any indebtedness secured hereby, and in such order as City may determine. City’s right to the rents, issues, revenue and profits of the Property does not depend upon whether or not City takes possession of the Property. The entering upon and taking possession of the Property, the collection of such rents, issues, revenue and profits, and the application thereof as aforesaid, shall not cure or waive any default or notice of default hereunder or invalidate any act done pursuant to such notice. If a Default occurs while City is in possession of all or part of the Property and/or is collecting and applying rents as permitted under this Deed of Trust, City, Trustee and any receiver shall nevertheless be entitled to exercise and invoke every right and remedy afforded any of them under this Deed of Trust and at law or in equity, including the right to exercise the power of sale granted hereunder. Regardless of whether or not City, in person or by agent, takes actual possession of the Property, City shall not be deemed to be a “mortgagee in possession,” shall not be responsible for performing any obligation of the lessor under any lease, shall not be liable in any manner for the Property, or the use, occupancy, enjoyment     City Council 19 – 67 6/3/2025 55394.00101\43724951.1 CITY COUNCIL DRAFT Page 55 Exhibit D or operation of any part of it , and unless due solely to the willful misconduct or gross negligence of City, shall not be responsible for any dangerous or defective condition of the Property or any negligence in the management, repair or control of the Property. 13. Default. An event of default (“Default”) shall arise hereunder upon the occurrence of any one or more of the following and the expiration of any applicable cure period: a. Trustor fails to occupy the Property as Trustor’s principal residence; b. The sale, conveyance, encumbrance, refinance, assignment, or other transfer of the Property including without limitation, the lease or rental of the Property in violation of the Affordable Housing Resale Restrictions; c. An event of default arises under the Note or the Affordable Housing Resale Restrictions, and such default remains uncured following the expiration of any applicable cure period; d. Trustor fails to pay when due any sum payable pursuant to the Note, the Affordable Housing Resale Restrictions or this Deed of Trust; e. The Property is refinanced or encumbered in violation of the Affordable Housing Resale Restrictions or this Deed of Trust; f. Trustor fails to maintain insurance on the Property as required by the Affordable Housing Resale Restrictions and this Deed of Trust, g. Subject to Trustor’s right to contest the following charges, Trustor fails to pay prior to delinquency taxes or assessments due on the Property or fails to pay when due any other charge that may result in a lien on the Property, and Trustor fails to cure such default within twenty (20) days of date of delinquency, but in all events prior to the time that the holder of such lien has the right to pursue foreclosure thereon; h. Trustor declares bankruptcy or makes an assignment of assets for the benefit of creditors, or an order for relief is entered under federal bankruptcy laws as to Trustor, or Trustor is adjudicated as insolvent or bankrupt pursuant to the provisions of any state or federal insolvency or bankruptcy, or Trustor consents to, acquiesces in, or attempts to secure the appointment of, any receiver for all or any substantial part of the Property; i. The occurrence of an event of default under any loan secured by the Property and the continuance of such default beyond the expiration of all applicable cure periods such that the holder of such loan has the right to accelerate such loan. j. Trustor fails to observe or perform any other covenant, condition, or agreement to be observed or performed by Trustor pursuant to the Note, the Affordable Housing Resale Restrictions or this Deed of Trust.     City Council 19 – 68 6/3/2025 55394.00101\43724951.1 CITY COUNCIL DRAFT Page 56 Exhibit D 14. Remedies. Upon the occurrence of a Default, the giving of notice thereof and the expiration of any applicable cure period, City may, at its option, exercise any one or more of the following remedies: a. Declare all of the sums payable under the Note to be immediately due and payable without further demand. b. Pursue the exercise of the power of sale provided under this Deed of Trust. c. Either in person or by agent, with or without bringing any action or proceeding, or by a receiver appointed by a court, enter upon, take possession thereof (or any part thereof) and of any of the Security, in its own name or in the name of Trustee, and do any acts which it deems necessary or desirable to preserve the value or marketability of the Property, or part thereof or interest therein, increase the income therefrom, or protect the security thereof. The entering upon and taking possession of the Security shall not cure or waive any breach hereunder or invalidate any act done in response to such breach and, notwithstanding the continuance in possession of the Security, the City shall be entitled to exercise every right and remedy provided under the Note, this Deed of Trust, or the Affordable Housing Resale Restrictions, or by law upon occurrence of any uncured breach. d. Commence an action to foreclose this Deed of Trust as a mortgage, appoint a receiver, or specifically enforce any of the covenants hereof. e. Exercise any option to purchase the Property, as authorized pursuant to the Affordable Housing Resale Restrictions. f. Exercise all other rights and remedies provided herein, in the instruments by which the Trustor acquires title to any Security, or in any other document or agreement now or hereafter evidencing, creating or securing all or any portion of the obligations secured hereby. g. Exercise any other remedy provided by law or in equity. 15. Acceleration and Sale. a. Notice of Default. Upon Trustor’s breach of any covenant or agreement of Trustor under the Note, the Affordable Housing Resale Restrictions or this Deed of Trust, City shall mail notice to Trustor as provided in Section 24 hereof specifying: (i) the nature of the breach; (ii) the action required to cure such breach; (iii) a date no less than thirty (30) days from the date the notice is mailed to Trustor by which such breach must be cured or such shorter cure period as may be provided in the Note, the Affordable Housing Resale Restrictions or this Deed of Trust; and (iv) that failure to cure such breach on or before the date specified in the notice may result in acceleration of the Loan and the sale of the Property. The notice shall further inform Trustor of Trustor’s right to reinstate after acceleration and the right to bring a court action to assert the nonexistence of a default or any other defense of Trustor to acceleration and sale. If the breach is not cured on or before the date specified in the notice, City at City’s option declare all of the sums secured by this Deed of Trust to be immediately due and payable without further demand and may invoke the power of sale and/or pursue any other remedy provided herein or available under law.     City Council 19 – 69 6/3/2025 55394.00101\43724951.1 CITY COUNCIL DRAFT Page 57 Exhibit D City shall be entitled to collect from the Trustor, or from the proceeds of the sale of the Property, all reasonable costs and expenses incurred in pursuing the remedies provided hereunder, including, but not limited to, reasonable attorneys’ fees. If a non-monetary default is not reasonably capable of being cured within thirty (30) days, the City, in its sole and absolute discretion, may grant the Trustor or the First Mortgage Lender such additional time as is reasonably necessary to cure the default provided that the Trustor or the First Mortgage Lender (i) initiates corrective action within said period, and (ii) diligently, continually, and in good faith works to effect a cure as soon as possible. Notwithstanding the cure periods established in this Section, in no event shall the City be precluded from sooner exercising any remedies if its security becomes or is about to become materially jeopardized by any failure to cure a default or the default is not cured within ninety (90) days after the first notice of default or delinquency is given. b. Trustor’s Right to Reinstate. Notwithstanding City’s acceleration of the sums secured by this Deed of Trust, Trustor will have the right to have any proceedings begun by City to enforce this Deed of Trust discontinued at any time prior to five (5) days before sale of the Property pursuant to the power of sale contained in this Deed of Trust or at any time prior to entry of the judgment enforcing this Deed of Trust if: (a) Trustor pays City all sums which would be then due under this Deed of Trust and the Note had no acceleration occurred; (b) Trustor pays all reasonable expenses incurred by City and Trustee in enforcing the covenants and agreements of Trustor contained in this Deed of Trust, including, but not limited to, reasonable attorneys’ fees; Trustor cures all breaches of any other covenants or agreements of Trustor set forth in the Affordable Housing Resale Restrictions and this Deed of Trust; and (d) Trustor takes such action as City may reasonably require to assure that the lien of this Deed of Trust, City’s interest in the Property and Trustor’s obligation to pay the sums and perform the obligations secured by this Deed of Trust shall continue unimpaired. Upon such payment and cure by Trustor, this Deed of Trust and the obligations secured hereby will remain in full force and effect as if no acceleration had occurred. c. Sale. After delivery to Trustee of a Notice of Default and Demand for Sale and after the expiration of such time and the giving of such notice of default and sale as may then be required by law, and without demand on Trustor, Trustee shall sell the Property at the time and place of sale fixed by it in said notice of sale, at public auction to the highest bidder for cash in lawful money of the United States of America, payable at time of sale. Trustee may postpone sale of all or any portion of the Property by public announcement at such time and place of sale and from time to time thereafter may postpone such sale by public announcement at the time and place fixed by the preceding postponement. Any person, including Trustor, Trustee or the City, may purchase at such sale. Upon such sale by Trustee it shall deliver to such purchaser its deed conveying the Property so sold, but without any covenant or warranty expressed or implied. The recitals in such deed of any matters or facts shall be conclusive proof of their truthfulness. Upon sale by Trustee and after deducting all costs, expenses and fees of Trustee, Trustee shall apply the proceeds of sale to the payment of the indebtedness hereby secured, including without limitation the indebtedness evidenced by the Note, any advances made or costs or expenses paid or incurred by City under this Deed of Trust, any indebtedness evidenced by any other instrument hereby     City Council 19 – 70 6/3/2025 55394.00101\43724951.1 CITY COUNCIL DRAFT Page 58 Exhibit D secured, and all other sums then secured hereby, including without limitation, interest as provided in the Note and the Affordable Housing Resale Restrictions, in such order as the City shall direct; and then the remainder, if any, shall be paid to the person or persons legally entitled thereto. 16. Remedies Cumulative; No Waiver. No exercise of any right or remedy by the City or Trustee hereunder shall constitute a waiver of any other right or remedy herein contained or provided by law, and no delay or forbearance by the City or Trustee in exercising any such right or remedy hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof or preclude the exercise thereof in any continued or subsequent default hereunder. All remedies provided in this Deed of Trust are distinct and cumulative to any other right or remedy under this Deed of Trust or any other document, or afforded by law or equity, and may be exercised concurrently, independently or successively. No sale of the Property, forbearance on the part of City, or extension of the time for payment of the indebtedness hereby secured shall operate to release, discharge, waive, modify, change or affect the liability of Trustor either in whole or in part. 17. Indemnity. Trustor agrees to defend, indemnify, and hold the Santa Ana, and its elected and appointed officers, officials, employees, and agents harmless from all losses, damages, liabilities, claims, actions, judgments, costs, and reasonable attorneys’ fees that they may incur as a direct or indirect consequence of: (i) Trustor’s failure to perform any obligations as and when required by the Note, the Affordable Housing Resale Restrictions, or this Deed of Trust; or (ii) the failure at any time of any of Trustor’s representations or warranties herein or in the Affordable Housing Resale Restrictions or the Note to be true and correct. 18. Due on Transfer of the Property. If the Trustor sells, conveys, assigns, transfers, alienates, or otherwise disposes of its interest in the Property, either voluntarily or involuntarily or by operation of law, in part or in full, in violation of the Affordable Housing Resale Restrictions, the City may, at its option, require immediate payment in full of all sums due under the Note. 19. Reconveyance. Upon payment of all sums and satisfaction of all obligations secured by this Deed of Trust, including without limitation, payment of the City Equity Share as defined in the Affordable Housing Resale Restrictions, and upon the expiration or termination of the Affordable Housing Resale Restrictions, the City will provide a written request to the Trustee to reconvey the Security and will surrender this Deed of Trust and the Note to Trustee. The Trustee shall reconvey the Security without warranty and without charge to the person or persons legally entitled thereto. Such person or persons shall pay all costs of recordation, if any. The recitals in the reconveyance of any matters or facts shall be conclusive proof of the truthfulness thereof. 20. Trustee Substitution. The City, at its option and without prior notice, may from time to time, by written instrument, remove the Trustee and appoint a successor trustee pursuant to a written instrument executed by City and duly acknowledged and recorded in the Official Records of Orange. Such instrument shall be conclusive proof of proper substitution of such successor Trustee or Trustees, who shall, without conveyance from the predecessor Trustee, succeed to all the title, estate, power and duties conferred upon the Trustee herein and by applicable law. Such instrument shall set forth the name of the Trustor, the original Trustee and the Beneficiary hereunder, the book and page where this Deed of Trust is recorded, and the name and address of the new Trustee.     City Council 19 – 71 6/3/2025 55394.00101\43724951.1 CITY COUNCIL DRAFT Page 59 Exhibit D 21.

The Affordable Housing Resale Restrictions contains restrictions on the sale of the Property and an equity sharing agreement for Homebuyer to pay to the City certain proceeds from the sale of the Property upon the expiration of the Affordability Term for the Property. (A) For a period commencing upon the date on which the Property receives a Certificate of Occupancy, which occurred on [DATE], and terminating on the date that is ten (10) years later (the “Affordability Term”), the Property may only be transferred to another eligible, qualified Moderate Income Household, at an Affordable Sales Price; such restrictions are set forth at greater length in the Density Bonus Agreement and the Affordable Housing Resale Restrictions. (B) Upon expiration of the Affordability Term, the City is entitled to an amount of the proceeds from any Transfer that is equal to the City Equity Share, which is secured by the City Deed of Trust. The City Equity Share is based on the following: (i) an amount equal to the difference between the fair market value of the Affordable Unit at the time of the initial purchase and the Affordable Sales Price (the “Initial Subsidy”), plus (ii) an amount equal to the product of (1) the appreciation of the Affordable Unit, as measured by the increase in the fair market value of the Affordable Unit at the time of the sale to the Homebuyer and the resale of the Affordable Unit, and (2) the percentage that the initial subsidy represented of the fair market value of the Affordable Unit when it was purchased by the Homebuyer (the “Proportionate Share of Appreciation”). The City Deed of Trust will not be released as an interest in the Property or otherwise reconveyed unless and until the City is paid the City Equity Share in accordance with the Affordable Housing Resale Restrictions. 3. Prior to a transfer of the Property, Homebuyer must comply with requirements of the Affordable Housing Resale Restrictions, including but not limited to the following requirements of Section 5: a. Notice to City. Homebuyer shall send the Notice of Intent to Transfer to City pursuant to Section of the Affordable Housing Resale Restrictions. b. Qualification of Proposed Transferee.

Within thirty (30) days after receiving all information required by the Affordable Housing Resale Restrictions, the City shall determine and give notice to Homebuyer as to whether the City consents to the Transfer as a Permitted Transfer, or if the City determines the proposed Transfer is a Prohibited Transfer. Any attempt to Transfer the Property without the City's written approval, or after the City has given notice of a Prohibited Transfer, shall be a Default of this Agreement, and the City may apply to a court of competent jurisdiction for specific performance of this Agreement, for an injunction prohibiting a proposed sale or Transfer in violation of this Agreement, for a declaration that the Prohibited Transfer is void, or for any such other relief as may be appropriate. f. Delivery of Documents.

Certain assumptions are used in calculating both the Affordable housing cost and the Affordable Sales Price for the Affordable Units in this Project. Affordable housing costs include reasonable costs associated with owning a housing unit. These include:  Principal and interest payments for the Affordable Unit with a 10% down payment  Private mortgage insurance (if applicable)  Property taxes and assessments  Homeowner’s insurance  A reasonable allowance for utilities  A reasonable allowance for unit maintenance; and  Homeowners maintenance association dues (HOA) The maximum Affordable Sales Price for an Affordable Unit is the total sales prices a typical Moderate Income Household (up to 120% of median income), adjusted for the household size appropriate for the unit size, can afford to pay for housing. Accordingly, the Affordable Sales Price for the Affordable Units in this Project will be as set forth below unless the Household income of the Moderate Income Household exceeds 110% of Area Median Income adjusted for household size, in which case the Affordable Sales Price shall be recalculated in accordance with California Health and Safety Code (“HSC”) Section 50052.5 and the actual income of the Homebuyer to calculate the Affordable Sales Price for that Homebuyer. Affordable Sales Price shall be recalculated quarterly and upon annual release of AMI for Orange County by HCD, in accordance with HSC Section 50052.5. Further, the calculation of the Affordable Sales Price will be based on actual unrestricted rate price estimates, the percentage of income allocated to housing pursuant to Health and Safety Code § 50052.5, actual homeowner’s association dues, utility costs (based on similar projects) and a commercially reasonable interest rate at the time the Homebuyer enters into a Residential Purchase Agreement with Developer, or its successor in interest. In the event that the actual interest rate available for the Supportable Mortgage is less than the interest rate set forth herein, Developer may elect to recalculate Affordable Sales Price based on actual interest rate. The sale price below is based on a target income level established by Health and Safety Code Section 50052.5, not the income of the actual Homebuyer, except in the case of Homebuyers whose income exceeds 110% of area median income. The household size adjustment that is used in determining the income limit for the purpose of setting the maximum Affordable Sales Price is based on the number of bedrooms in the unit, not the size of the specific Homebuyer’s household. These criteria are based on the California Health and Safety Code and allow the Affordable Sales     City Council 19 – 92 6/3/2025 Page 80 Price to be set in advance of identifying a specific buyer. The Affordable Sales Price for each Affordable Unit is determined by using three-bedroom unit and presumed household size of four and by using four-bedroom unit and presumed household size of five.     City Council 19 – 93 6/3/2025 5.VESTING TENTATIVE TRACT MAP NO. 2025-02 AND DENSITY BONUS AGREEMENT NO. 2025-02 FOR THE PROPERTY LOCATED AT 125 AND 205 SOUTH HARBOR BOULEVARD LOCATED WITHIN THE HARBOR MIXED-USED TRANSIT CORRIDOR SPECIFIC PLAN (SP2) ZONING DISTRICT.

Adopt a resolution approving a concession and waivers or reductions in development standards as memorialized in Density Bonus Agreement No. 2025-02 as conditioned. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Kim Prijatel with City Ventures Homebuilding, LLC, representing property owner John Rezvani, Managing Member of 205 S Harbor Plaza, LLC, is requesting approval of a vesting tentative tract map (VTTM) and a concession and waivers or reductions of development standards (“deviations” as referenced in the SAMC) as memorialized in a density bonus agreement (DBA) to allow the construction of a 36 unit, three-story residential townhouse development for the property at 125 and 205 S. Harbor Boulevard. The development will include four (4) units affordable to moderate-income households earning 80-120 percent of the area median income (AMI). As proposed, the project will utilize one concession and waivers from development standards through the density bonus agreement pursuant to California Government Code sections 65915 through 65918 and Santa Ana Municipal Code (SAMC) Section 41-1600 through 41-1607. Staff is recommending approval of the applicant’s request due to the project satisfying the intent of the General Plan and Harbor Mixed Use Transit Corridor Specific Plan (SP-2) to promote a pedestrian-oriented environment, and because the project will provide additional affordable and market-rate ownership housing stock to the community.     City Council 19 – 96 6/3/2025 VTTM No. 2025-02 and DBA No. 2025-02 – Santa Ana 9 Townhomes (125 and 205 S.

Presently, the site is still used for automobile related uses. In October 2014, the City Council adopted the Harbor Mixed Use Transit Corridor Specific Plan (SP-2), which replaced the North Harbor Specific Plan and allows for a greater amount of residential, commercial, and mixed-use projects in the Specific Plan area. Following the concepts and goals of the Specific Plan, in December 2023, the City received a proposal to develop the site with the subject development. After several submittals of the project and working with staff to comply with the provisions of the Harbor Plan, and after engaging with surrounding property owners, the applican t revised the plans to the current proposed development. The applicant is proposing a “housing development project,” defined by Government Code Section 65589.5(h) as “a use consisting of residential units only, mixed use development consisting of residential and nonresidential uses with at least two-thirds of the square footage designated for residential use, and transitional housing or supportive housing.” As such, the subject development will be subject to the limitations imposed by California Senate Bill 330, the Housing Crisis Act of 2019 or the HCA. More information on the HCA is provided in subsequent sections of this report.     City Council 19 – 97 6/3/2025 VTTM No. 2025-02 and DBA No. 2025-02 – Santa Ana 9 Townhomes (125 and 205 S. Harbor Blvd.) April 28, 2025 Page 3 California Senate Bill 330 California Senate Bill (SB) 330 made numerous changes to existing State law and adopted the Housing Crisis Act of 2019 (HCA). The changes proposed by SB 330 became effective on January 1, 2020, establishing a statewide “housing emergency” until January 1, 2025. One of the provisions of the senate bill amended Government Code Section 65941.1 with the broad goals of facilitating increased production of new residential units, protecting existing units, and providing for an expedited review and approval process for housing development projects through submittal of a “preliminary application.” On January 1, 2022, the HCA was extended until January 1, 2030, with the passage of Senate Bill 8. Among other changes, SB 330 requires the following for applicable housing development projects:  New, non-objective development standards established after January 1, 2020, cannot be imposed or enforced.  Applicable housing development projects must receive a decision in no more than five (5) public hearings - whether the item is being heard by a Design Review Board, Planning Commission or City Council, and including any appeals (save for those related to a legislative action).  Prohibits any moratorium, project or action that would result in a net downzoning, limit the number of permits to be issued, or otherwise reduce housing or limit overall population. As a “housing development project,” the application is being submitted pursuant SB 330. The development is required to comply with the objective zoning code standards applicable to the property, but only to the extent that they facilitate the development at the density allowed, 50 dwelling units per acre (du/ac) per the Urban Neighborhood-50 (UN-50) General Plan land use designation. Project Description The project includes the construction of a new residential development consisting of 36 townhouse units and 9,567 square feet of open space (common and private combined). Additionally, the applicant is proposing to merge the properties at 125 and 205 S. Harbor Boulevard through an administrative lot merger process. The development will consist of four residential buildings that are three-stories in height and will provide onsite bicycle parking. The units will include private balconies, with some offering ground floor patios. The units have been designed with families in mind, offering thirteen four-bedroom units and twenty-three three-bedroom units, and of the three-bedroom units, three are designed as live/work units. Every unit will contain a two-car garage at ground level (tuck-under building     City Council 19 – 98 6/3/2025 VTTM No. 2025-02 and DBA No. 2025-02 – Santa Ana 9 Townhomes (125 and 205 S. Harbor Blvd.) April 28, 2025 Page 4 design) with residential units above, and the project site will contain ten guest parking spaces, for a total of 82 parking spaces, exceeding the requirements of SP-2. However, to proactively address parking management policies, staff is recommending conditions of approval similar to those for other residential infill projects that would incorporate parking management practices in the Covenants, Conditions, and Restrictions (CC&Rs) that will be recorded against the property. Of the total units in the development, four units are proposed to be affordable to moderate- income households earning 80-120 percent of the AMI, which is currently set at $154,800, adjusted for a four-person household size, as published by the California Department of Housing and Community Development (HCD). The affordable units will be two (2) three- bedroom, three-bath units and two (2) four-bedroom, four-bath units. The proposed affordable units will be 1,352 and 1,610 square feet in size and will contain full kitchens, bedrooms, bathrooms, and open/common (living) areas. Approximately 7,616 square feet or approximately 12 percent (12%) of the total site area will be open space provided through private exterior ground-level porches/front yards and upper decks distributed throughout the site. The remainder of the open space will be provided as a 1,951-square-foot common open courtyard within the site’s interior. The design and layout of the proposed common open space would function as a passive outdoor area, providing functional amenities to residents (e.g., picnic tables, BBQ, etc.). The open space would feature a shade trellis, hardscaping materials, trees, vines, and shrubs. The proposed landscaping includes, but are not limited to, pink trumpet, purple orchid, tulip, sweet bay, African sumac, southern magnolia, fern pine, Brisbane box, crape myrtle trees, as well as a variety of shrubs. Lastly, each unit will also contain decks/private balconies for the use of each unit’s owners. The project features a contemporary architectural style similar to many multiple-family or mixed-use residential communities under construction in Santa Ana and the region. The overall design, massing, features, and materials of the new construction will be compatible with the scale of buildings in the area. The contemporary industrial architectural style would include stucco finish, corrugated metal, brick veneer, metal awnings, and high quality architectural detailing (e.g., exterior lighting, entry doors, fenestration, etc.). Moreover, the residential structures are designed to fully screen all mechanical equipment within the structure, parapet walls, and screened with landscaping. Overall, the project will include a design and solid construction materials that will ensure that the project ages well for the duration of the building’s lifetime. As part of the current entitlement, the applicant has submitted a vesting tentative tract map application to subdivide the project site into a condominium lot with 36 condominium units, which would allow each unit to be sold for individual ownership. The applicant has prepared the required vesting tentative tract map, which clarifies the proposed subdivision for the proposed condominiums. The project site has been designed to include an area     City Council 19 – 99 6/3/2025 VTTM No. 2025-02 and DBA No. 2025-02 – Santa Ana 9 Townhomes (125 and 205 S.

To help make constructing on-site affordable units feasible, the law allows developers to seek up to five incentives/concessions and an unlimited number of waivers or reductions in development standards. The incentives/concessions are generally reductions in site development standards or modification of zoning code requirements or architectural design requirements, and waivers are essentially variances from development standards (a site or construction condition).     City Council 19 – 100 6/3/2025 VTTM No. 2025-02 and DBA No. 2025-02 – Santa Ana 9 Townhomes (125 and 205 S. Harbor Blvd.) April 28, 2025 Page 6 The first version of the Density Bonus Law was adopted in 1979 and has since been amended at various times. In early 2017, the law was amended to restrict the ability of local jurisdictions to require studies to “justify” the density bonus and requested incentives/waivers and places the onus on local jurisdictions to prove that the incentives/concessions or waivers are not financially warranted. Pursuant to the California Density Bonus law, a project’s affordability level is determined by dividing the number of proposed affordable units by the allowable “base” density (i.e., 50 du/ac). Moreover, the State density bonus law states that units added by a density bonus are excluded from the calculations. The base density for the 1.81-acre site at 50 du/ac is 91 units. However, only 36 units are being proposed, which is well within the allowable base density. Of the total units in the development, four units are proposed to be affordable. Therefore, the project would have an 11-percent affordability rate. As such, State density bonus law allows the developer to request a maximum density bonus of six percent (6%). Due to the project’s 11-percent affordability rate, the developer can seek one density bonus incentive/concession and unlimited waivers, pursuant to Section 65915 et al. of the California Government Code (Density Bonuses and Other Incentives). In addition, California Assembly Bill No. 2345, approved September 28, 2020, revised the State Density Bonus Law originally adopted in 1979 to provide additional benefits for projects that include qualifying affordable housing. For this project, the developer is not requesting a state density bonus for additional units but will avail themselves of the incentive/concession and waivers that are required to be provided by State density bonus law for projects with the requisite affordability. The purpose of the State Density Bonus Law is to encourage the development and availability of affordable housing. Pursuant to California Government Code sections 65915 (d)(1) and 65915 (e)(1), a local jurisdiction is limited in its ability to deny requested incentives, concessions, and waivers. The City has analyzed the project and has identified several areas of potential impacts; however, the conditions of approval proposed for the project are intended to address the project’s potential impacts. Pursuant to SB 330 and the General Plan Land Use Element, the developer has selected the Harbor Mixed Use Transit Corridor Specific Plan (SP-2) development standards for a tuck-under building type to design the projects. However, pursuant to the Density Bonus Law, the developer is seeking a specific concession and waivers from certain SP-2 standards to facilitate development of the project. Table 3 on the following page outlines the concession and waivers requested by the applicant pursuant to Cal. Gov’t Code Sec. 65915 (e)(1).     City Council 19 – 101 6/3/2025 VTTM No. 2025-02 and DBA No. 2025-02 – Santa Ana 9 Townhomes (125 and 205 S.

This substantial open space allocation enhances residents' outdoor experience and overall project appeal. The requested concession and waivers address vehicular site access, minor architectural detailing, building setback, and the site’s open space. The project's site access, porch and building setback dimensions do not meet SP-2 requirements, necessitating deviations from its standards to accommodate the design. Although a reduction in open space is requested, the project benefits from its proximity to Santa Anita Park, located directly east and accessible via a pedestrian gate that the developer will provide along the Figueroa frontage. This nearby public green space assists with compensating for the reduced on-site open space by providing residents with convenient access to outdoor recreation, thereby enhancing accessibility to recreational areas and supporting community connectivity. While some deviations are requested to meet design and access standards, the project’s generous provision of private open space and its strategic location next to Santa Anita Park collectively enhance the overall community benefits and livability of the development.     City Council 19 – 102 6/3/2025 VTTM No. 2025-02 and DBA No. 2025-02 – Santa Ana 9 Townhomes (125 and 205 S. Harbor Blvd.) April 28, 2025 Page 8 Onsite Parking To proactively address any neighborhood parking impacts that could result from the project, the conditions of approval for the VTTM and terms of the DBA include provisions requiring the following parking management practices, to be incorporated into the final, recorded CC&Rs, and applicable throughout the life of the project:  Requiring onsite parking permits (such as stickers or hang-tags) for any parking in the surface guest parking spaces;  Policies for maximum time vehicles may be parked in the surface guest spaces;  Policies for towing unauthorized vehicles; vehicles parked in unauthorized locations, such as fire lanes; vehicles parking in surface guest parking without a sticker, hang- tag, or other identifiers; and vehicles parked longer than any maximum guest parking timeframes allowed; and  Routine garage inspections to ensure garages are available for vehicle parking. Project Analysis Pursuant to Section 41-1607 of the SAMC, an application for a density bonus agreement is required to be approved by the Planning Commission for any project containing “deviations” (incentives/concessions and/or waivers). The Planning Commission’s review of the density bonus agreement is based on the following findings: 1. The proposed development will materially assist in accomplishing the goal of providing affordable housing opportunities in economically balanced communities throughout the city. 2. The development will not be inconsistent with the purpose of the underlying zone or applicable designation in the general plan land use element. 3. The deviation is necessary to make it economically feasible for the applicant to utilize a density bonus authorized for the development pursuant to section 41 - 1603. The project does not require a Site Plan Review Application pursuant to Table 3-2 (Permitted Uses) as part of the Harbor Mixed Use Transit Corridor Plan (SP-2). Accordingly, the Planning Commission’s review and determination for this request are limited to the deviations requested in the Density Bonus Agreement application and memorialized in the Density Bonus Agreement only.     City Council 19 – 103 6/3/2025 VTTM No. 2025-02 and DBA No. 2025-02 – Santa Ana 9 Townhomes (125 and 205 S. Harbor Blvd.) April 28, 2025 Page 9 Table 4: Analysis of the Requested Concession (1) and Waivers (5) Standard Analysis Parking Location (Concession) SP-2, Ch. 3, Table 3-7. Off-Street Parking Standards (pg. 3-11) Vehicular Access SP-2 requires that vehicular access to off-street parking should be taken from the primary street unless an alley or side street is available. The project proposes vehicular access from Harbor Boulevard rather than Figueroa Street , which would be considered a side street. Vehicular access is proposed along Harbor Boulevard to address the site's limited frontage on Figueroa Street and enhance overall resident usability. Relocating the primary access point to Harbor Boulevard ensures more functional, safe, and efficient entry for residents while improving fire protection access. Additionally, a pedestrian connection to Figueroa Street is planned to maintain foot traffic connectivity and accessibility. A redesign could necessitate reconfiguring building layouts, setbacks, and internal circulation pathways, which would result in a reduction in the overall number of market rate and affordable units. A site redesign may also result in a reduction in the overall common and private open space provided, which is already not meeting the required SP-2 standards as discussed in later analysis. Building Frontage (Waiver) SP-2, Ch. 3, Frontyard/Porch Frontage Type, 1 Dimension – Width The minimum dimensions for porch type building frontages is 12 feet in width if a symmetrical entry. None of the porches fully meet this requirement as they only provide 4 feet wide symmetrical entries. Providing wider symmetrical entries would require substantial site revisions, reducing the number of market rate and affordable units and necessitating layout changes due to the site's width, depth, and vehicular circulation requirements. Moreover, modifying porch widths would be infeasible and would require building reconfiguration, disrupting the efficient floor plan, reducing interior space and bedroom counts, and impacting overall project density. Setback (Waiver) SP-2, Ch. 3, Table 3-5. Building Placement Public Street The maximum building to adjacent public street right-of-way setback is eight (8) feet. The project proposes an eight and a half (8.5) foot setback along Harbor Boulevard and 22 foot setback along Figueroa Street. Meeting the maximum setback requirement will affect the project’s site layout by reducing proposed common and private open space. It will limit the land available for functional outdoor areas such as the private ground floor patios along Harbor Boulevard and the interior common open space courtyard along Figueroa Street. Modifying these setbacks to meet the eight (8) foot maximum would require significant reconfiguration of the building layout, potentially compromising the functionality of private patios, reducing the common courtyard space, and altering the overall design intent of the project. These larger setbacks have been designed to balance resident privacy and usable open space within the site constraints.     City Council 19 – 104 6/3/2025 VTTM No. 2025-02 and DBA No. 2025-02 – Santa Ana 9 Townhomes (125 and 205 S. Harbor Blvd.) April 28, 2025 Page 10 Standard Analysis Open Space (Waivers) SP-2, Ch. 3, Table 3-9. Onsite Open Space Requirements Common – Area The total common open space required for the project site (net) is equal to 15- percent of the lot, or 9,409 sq. ft. Instead, 1,951 sq. ft. of common open space (3-percent) is provided, which is a difference of 7,458 sq. ft. or 12-percent. Meeting the minimum required open space would eliminate six or more units, affecting project feasibility. To maintain the proposed unit count, the developer would need to modify the building type and construct additional floors, potentially exceeding the maximum allowable height in the Harbor Mixed Use Transit Corridor Plan (SP-2) and increasing development costs. To help alleviate the open space deficiency, the project proposes an average of 212 sq. ft. of private open space per unit, through private balconies/decks, far exceeding the 90 sq. ft. of private open space per unit required b y the SP-2. Although a reduction in open space is requested, the project benefits from its proximity to Santa Anita Park, located directly east and accessible via a pedestrian gate that the developer will provide along the Figueroa frontage. This nearby public green space assists with compensating for the reduced on -site open space by providing residents with convenient access to outdoor recreation, thereby enhancing accessibility to recreational areas and supporting community connectivity. The project’s generous provision of private open space and its strategic location next to Santa Anita Park collectively enhance the overall community benefits and livability of the development. Private – Area The minimum required private open space is 90 sq. ft. per dwelling unit. Two (2) of the 36 units do not meet this requirement, while the remaining thirty-four (34) units fulfill the minimum area required through a combination of upper balconies/decks and ground floor yards. The most direct approach to meeting the minimum private open space requirement would involve extending the balconies of the two non-compliant units by at least three feet toward Harbor Boulevard, a busy and noisy thoroughfare . This adjustment would not only compromise their livability but also reduce the sense of privacy for residents as balconies would be closer to the street and more exposed to public view. Furthermore, this expansion would diminish the visibility of the corner unit’s live/work space from the street. These changes would also disrupt the cohesive design rhythm and shared building plane with the other nine units along the street, creating an aesthetic imbalance that detracts from the project's overall architectural harmony. Private – Dimensions Private open space minimum dimensions are 6 feet in all directions. Three (3) out of the 36 units (Units 1, 2, & 11) do not meet the minimum six (6) feet in all directions for private area. Addressing Units 1 and 2 would involve extending their balconies toward Harbor Boulevard, a busy and noisy thoroughfare, while Unit 11 could alternatively expand its ground-floor patio closer to the street. Both solutions, however, would bring private areas nearer to the high-traffic corridor, reducing resident privacy and diminishing the corner unit’s live/work space visibility. These modifications would also disrupt the cohesive design rhythm and shared building plane with the other nine units, creating an aesthetic imbalance that undermines the project’s architectural harmony.     City Council 19 – 105 6/3/2025 VTTM No. 2025-02 and DBA No. 2025-02 – Santa Ana 9 Townhomes (125 and 205 S. Harbor Blvd.) April 28, 2025 Page 11 When analyzed cumulatively, the requested concession and waivers could be avoided if the project were designed on a different site or using a different site plan. If the project were designed with a multi-level parking and/or subterranean parking structure, or if the applicant used different building materials to construct a taller project, additional area on site would become available to reconfigure vehicular access and internal circulation, comply with building setbacks, porch dimensions, and provide the minimum open space requirements. However, these changes would increase development costs and result in a project that would exceed the maximum permitted building height, resulting in the housing project becoming financially infeasible due to the significantly increased financial implications of an alternative construction type compared to the relatively smaller scale of the project. Moreover, the changes would result in the loss of the four affordable townhouse units. Based on the analysis provided within this report, the proposed development will materially assist in accomplishing the goal of providing additional affordable and market-rate ownership housing stock in the city and will consistent with the applicable designation in the General Plan Land Use Element. In addition, the proposed deviations are necessary to make the project economically feasible pursuant to section 41-1603 of the SAMC. Vesting Tentative Tract Map Subdivision requests are governed by Chapter 34 and Chapter 41 of the SAMC. Pursuant to Section 66473.5 and 66474 of the California Subdivision Map Act, applications for vesting tentative tract maps are approved when it can be shown that findings can be m ade in support of the request. Specifically, findings related to the proposal need to be made that find the project is consistent with the General Plan, the site is physically suitable for the type and density of the proposed project, the proposed projec t will not cause substantial environmental damage or substantially and avoidably injure fish and wildlife or their habitat, the proposed project will not cause serious public health problems, or the proposed project will not conflict with easements necessary for public access through or use of the property must be made. Using this information staff has prepared the following analysis, which, in turn forms the basis for the recommendation contained in this report. In analyzing the applicant’s request, staff believes that the following analysis warrants approval of the vesting tentative tract map. The applicant is seeking approval of a vesting tentative tract map to subdivide for condominium purposes, as the proposed development consists of 36 townhome units. The request would vest the right to proceed with development in substantial compliance with the ordinances, policies and standards in effect at the time the vesting map is deemed complete. Upon completion of the subdivision, the lots will continue to be utilized for residential use in the form of attached tuck-under unit type structures. In reviewing the     City Council 19 – 106 6/3/2025 VTTM No. 2025-02 and DBA No. 2025-02 – Santa Ana 9 Townhomes (125 and 205 S. Harbor Blvd.) April 28, 2025 Page 12 project, staff determined that the proposal as conditioned is consistent with the various provisions of the City’s General Plan. As a housing development project, the proposed development site has been found to be consistent with the objective General Plan standards for the property. Moreover, the proposal is consistent with the various provisions of the zoning and subzone designations (SP-2, Corridor), including lot size, density, and parking. Lastly, the applicant has requested waivers for those development standards that require deviations, as previously analyzed. Additional conditions of approval have been included to bring the site’s landscaping, architectural design, and Covenants, Conditions and Restrictions (CC&Rs) in compliance with all applicable standards of the SAMC and the Harbor Mixed Use Transit Corridor Plan (SP-2). No adverse environmental impacts to fish or wildlife populations were identified as the project site is located in a built-out, urbanized area. The project will also maintain all required easements. Finally, the tentative tract map was found to be consistent with the California Subdivision Map Act and Chapter 34 of the Municipal Code. The project site offers an opportunity for additional housing and development, transforming an under-utilized parcel currently used for automobile servicing and sales into a more valuable and productive use. These improvements will help to enhance the quality of life in the surrounding community by providing 36 for-sale, market-rate and affordable housing, with four onsite affordable units. The proposed project is part of the Harbor Mixed Used Transit Corridor Specific Plan and has been designed to incorporate significant design features, articulating elevations in order to minimize any visual impacts on surrounding land uses. General Plan Consistency Finally, the project has been designed to be compatible with the scale of buildings in the area and will be consistent with several goals and policies of the General Plan as follows:  Goal LU-1: Growing Responsibly – Provide a land use plan that improves quality of life and respects our existing community. o Policy LU-1.1 Compatible Uses – Foster compatibility between land uses to enhance livability and promote healthy lifestyles. o Policy LU-1.2 Homeownership Opportunities – Support innovative development policies to expand homeownership opportunities at all income levels. o Policy LU-1.5 Diverse Housing Types – Incentivize quality infill residential development that provides a diversity of housing types and accommodates all income levels and age groups.  Goal LU-4: Complete Communities – Support a sustainable Santa Ana through improvements to the built environment and a culture of collaboration.     City Council 19 – 107 6/3/2025 VTTM No. 2025-02 and DBA No. 2025-02 – Santa Ana 9 Townhomes (125 and 205 S. Harbor Blvd.) April 28, 2025 Page 13 o Policy LU-4.7 Diverse Communities – Promote mixed-income developments with mixed housing types to create inclusive communities and economically diverse neighborhoods.  Goal HE-2: Housing Supply and Diversity – A diversity of quality housing, affordability levels, and living experiences that accommodate Santa Ana’s residents of all household types, income levels, and age groups to foster an inclusive community. o Policy HE-2.5 Diverse Housing Types – Facilitate diverse types, prices, and sizes of housing, including single-family homes, apartments, townhomes, duplexes, mixed/multiuse housing, transit-oriented housing, multigenerational housing, accessory dwelling units, and live-work opportunities. o Policy HE-2.7 Affordable Component – Pursuant to the Affordable Housing Opportunity and Creation Ordinance (AHOCO), require eligible rental and ownership housing projects to include at least 15 percent of the rental housing units as affordable for low-income households; or 10 percent of the rental units affordable to very low-income households; or 5 percent of rental units affordable to lower income households (5 percent to low-income, 3 percent to very low- income, and 2 percent to extremely low-income households); or at least 5 percent of the units in eligible ownership projects affordable to moderate-income households. Implement various strategies using the in-lieu fees generated by AHOCO to provide a wide array of affordable housing options. Affordable Housing Opportunity and Creation Ordinance The project exceeds the five percent (5%) affordable housing requirement for the ownership category of the City’s Affordable Housing Opportunity and Creation Ordinance (AHOCO) by providing four (4) onsite units to be affordable to moderate-income (80- 120%) households and significantly enhancing the opportunity for income eligible Santa Ana households to own a home in the City at a lower cost. The units will be dispersed throughout the community. The affordable units will be two (2) three-bedroom, three-bath units and two (2) four-bedroom, four-bath units. The proposed affordable units will be 1,352 and 1,610 square feet in size and will contain full kitchens, bedrooms, bathrooms, and open/common (living) areas. The developer’s Inclusionary Housing Plan has been reviewed and approved by the City’s Housing Division. Public Notification and Community Outreach Project notifications were posted, published, and mailed in accordance with Cit y and State regulations. Copies of the public notice, including a 1,000-foot notification radius map, and the site posting are provided in Exhibit 13.

Harbor Blvd.) April 28, 2025 Page 14 they were aware of the project and public hearing. At the time this report was printed, no issues of concern were raised regarding the proposed development. The applicant also held two community meetings in conformance to the Sunshine Ordinance notification requirements in place at the time the application was submitted (June 5, 2024). The first meeting was a combined in-person and virtual community meeting on August 8, 2024. This meeting was publicly noticed in the Orange County Reporter, posted on the City’s website, and invitation mailers were sent to all addresses within a 2,000-foot radius of the project site, as well as local community organizations. The meeting included a presentation on the project as well as a question and ans wer period to address concerns and collect feedback. Participants asked questions about the meaning of infill development, why the meeting was not held at Russell Elementary School, which is closer to the project site, and inquired about the date of the ne xt Sunshine meeting. However, no issues of concern were raised regarding the proposed development. One person from the community attended the meeting. On October 1, 2024, the applicant held a second combined in-person and virtual Sunshine Ordinance community meeting. This meeting was also publicly noticed in the Orange County Reporter, posted on the City’s website, and invitation mailers were sent to all addresses within a 2,000-foot radius of the project site, as well as local community organizations. The meeting included a brief presentation and summary on the project, as well as a question and answer session to address concerns and collect feedback. Key topics of discussion included project security, eligibility criteria for affordable units, anticipated market pricing, the sales office, parking arrangements, homeowner association (HOA) dues, trash pickup services, and the developer's other projects in Santa Ana. Three individuals attended the meeting. Materials from both the August 8 and October 1 meetings are posted to the project’s City webpage (Exhibit 12). ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT Pursuant to the requirements of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), an Environmental Impact Report (EIR) was prepared and certified in 2014 in order to address the potential environmental impacts associated with the Harbor Mixed Use Corridor Specific Plan. A mitigation monitoring and reporting program (MMRP), findings of f act, and a statement of overriding consideration were adopted with the 2014 EIR. As proposed, the development is not anticipated to have additional environmental impacts not addressed in the 2014 EIR. Furthermore, in accordance with the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), the recommended action is exempt from fu rther review under Section 15195 (Residential Infill Exemption), as this project meets all the threshold criteria set forth in Section 15192 (Threshold Requirements for Exemptions). This exemption applies to projects or sites that:     City Council 19 – 109 6/3/2025 VTTM No. 2025-02 and DBA No. 2025-02 – Santa Ana 9 Townhomes (125 and 205 S.

The Planning Commission of the City of Santa Ana hereby finds, determines, and declares as follows: A. Kim Prijatel, representing City Ventures Homebuilding, LLC (“Applicant”), on behalf of John Rezvani, Managing Member of the 205 S Harbor Plaza, LLC (“Property Owner”), is requesting approval of Vesting Tentative Tract Map No. 2025-02 (County Map No. 19329) and a certain concession and waivers or reductions of certain development standards pursuant to State Density Bonus Law (“deviations” as referenced in the SAMC) to be memorialized in a density bonus agreement (“DBA”) to allow the construction of a thirty-six unit attached townhome development, four of which are proposed as onsite moderate-income affordable units, for the property located at 125 and 205 South Harbor Boulevard (“Project”). B. California Senate Bill 330, the Housing Crisis Act of 2019 (HCA), became effective on January 1, 2020, and established a statewide “housing emergency” until January 1, 2025. C. On January 1, 2022, the HCA was extended until January 1, 2030, with the passage of Senate Bill 8 (“SB8”). D. The proposed development is being submitted as a Senate Bill No. 330 (“SB 330”) application. E. Pursuant to Santa Ana Municipal Code (“SAMC”) Section 34-127, the Planning Commission is authorized to review and approve tentative tract maps. F. Vesting Tentative Tract Map No. 2025-02 came before the Planning Commission of the City of Santa Ana on April, 28, 2025, for a duly noticed public hearing. G. The Planning Commission of the City of Santa Ana determines that following findings, which must be established in order to approve Vesting     City Council 19 – 112 6/3/2025 Resolution No. 2025-XX Page 2 of 13 Tentative Tract Map No. 2025-02, have been established as required by SAMC Section 34-127 and the California Subdivision Map Act: 1. The proposed project and its design and improvements are consistent with the Urban Neighborhood (UN-50) designation of the General Plan and are otherwise consistent with all other Elements of the General Plan. The proposed Project and its design and improvements will be consistent with the Urban Neighborhood-50 (UN-50) land use designation of the General Plan and are otherwise consistent with all other elements of the General Plan and any applicable specific plans. The proposed subdivision of land will create thirty-six condominium air-right units and will be consistent with the various provisions of the General Plan. As proposed, the development is subject to the limitations contained in SB330 and SB 8. Moreover, the development is permitted subject to separate execution of a density bonus agreement, where the developer is requesting a concession and waivers or reductions in objective development standards, subject to separate approval of the Planning Commission. The maximum unit yield for the 1.81-acre site using the UN-50 general plan density and the State density bonus is 91 units, and the applicant is proposing to develop 36 units on the site. The density range for the proposed number of units is also considered and approved in the UN General Plan designation. Finally, the Project has been designed to be compatible with the scale of other buildings in the area and will be consistent with several goals and policies of the General Plan as follows: • Goal LU-1: Growing Responsibly – Provide a land use plan that improves quality of life and respects our existing community. o Policy LU-1.1 Compatible Uses – Foster compatibility between land uses to enhance livability and promote healthy lifestyles. o Policy LU-1.2 Homeownership Opportunities – Support innovative development policies to expand homeownership opportunities at all income levels. o Policy LU-1.5 Diverse Housing Types – Incentivize quality infill residential development     City Council 19 – 113 6/3/2025 Resolution No. 2025-XX Page 3 of 13 that provides a diversity of housing types and accommodates all income levels and age groups. • Goal LU-4: Complete Communities – Support a sustainable Santa Ana through improvements to the built environment and a culture of collaboration. o Policy LU-4.7 Diverse Communities – Promote mixed-income developments with mixed housing types to create inclusive communities and economically diverse neighborhoods. • Goal HE-2: Housing Supply and Diversity – A diversity of quality housing, affordability levels, and living experiences that accommodate Santa Ana’s residents of all household types, income levels, and age groups to foster an inclusive community. o Policy HE-2.5 Diverse Housing Types – Facilitate diverse types, prices, and sizes of housing, including single-family homes, apartments, townhomes, duplexes, mixed/multiuse housing, transit-oriented housing, multigenerational housing, accessory dwelling units, and live-work opportunities. o Policy HE-2.7 Affordable Component – Pursuant to the Affordable Housing Opportunity and Creation Ordinance (AHOCO), require eligible rental and ownership housing projects to include at least 15 percent of the rental housing units as affordable for low-income households; or 10 percent of the rental units affordable to very low-income households; or 5 percent of rental units affordable to lower income households (5 percent to low-income, 3 percent to very low- income, and 2 percent to extremely low-income households); or at least 5 percent of the units in eligible ownership projects affordable to moderate-income households. Implement various strategies using the in-lieu fees generated by AHOCO to provide a wide array of affordable housing options.     City Council 19 – 114 6/3/2025 Resolution No. 2025-XX Page 4 of 13 2. The proposed project conforms to all applicable requirements of the zoning and subdivision codes as well as other applicable City ordinances. The proposed development is being submitted as an SB 330 application. The proposed Project will conform to all requirements of the Santa Ana Municipal Code (SAMC) and the development standards specified by the Harbor Mixed Use Transit Corridor Plan (SP-2), except for site access, building frontage dimensions, street setback dimensions, and open space area and dimensions, which shall be memorialized in a separate density bonus agreement. Lastly, all subdivision codes will be met as well as other applicable City ordinances. 3. The project site is physically suitable for the type and density of the proposed project. The Project’s site is physically suitable for the type and density of the proposed Project. The proposed site consists of approximately 1.81-acres of land and is physically suitable for the proposed development, where access to the site will be from Harbor Boulevard. The current general plan land use designation for the project site is UN-50 which allows a mix of uses, including medium and medium-high density apartments, townhomes, garden- or motor-court homes, and neighborhood- serving commercial. The proposed density is 20 du/ac and well within the 50 dwelling units per acre (du/ac) maximum allowed under its general plan land use designation. 4. The design and improvements of the proposed project will not cause substantial environmental damage or substantially and avoidably injure fish or wildlife or their habitat. The design and improvements of the proposed Project will not cause substantial environmental damage or substantially and avoidably injure fish or wildlife or their habitat. Since the project is located in an urbanized area, there are no known fish or wildlife populations existing on the project site. Therefore, the proposed subdivision will not cause any substantial environmental damage or substantially and avoidably injure fish and wildlife or their habitat. Additionally, the development of the property as proposed, has been determined to be exempt from further review under Section 15195 (Residential Infill Exemption), as this project meets all the threshold criteria set forth in Section 15192 (Threshold Requirements for Exemptions). The project site is not more than four acres in area, the project does not include any single     City Council 19 – 115 6/3/2025 Resolution No. 2025-XX Page 5 of 13 level building exceeding 100,000 square feet, and the project is an infill development within one-half mile of a major transit stop. Moreover, the development promotes higher density infill housing, does not contain more than 100 residential units, and results in housing units made available to moderate income families. 5. The design or improvements of the proposed project will not cause serious public health problems. The design or improvements of the proposed Project will not cause serious health problems, with the proposed subdivision not having any detrimental effects upon the general public. The property will include necessary utilities and infrastructure improvements as required under Development Project Review No. 2024-12. 6. The design or improvements of the proposed project will not conflict with easements necessary for public access through, or use of, property within the proposed project. The design or improvements of the proposed Project will not conflict with easements necessary for public access through, or use of, the property within the proposed Project since the existing and recorded easements for the property have been considered as part of the review. Existing easements for roads, railroads and ditches purposes in the documents recorded as book 77, page 342 of Deeds of Los Angeles County, recorded July 22, 1886 as book 169, page 59 of Deeds of Los Angeles County, recorded March 3, 1958 as book 4216, page 542 of official records, recorded December 10, 1958 as book 4511, page 330 of official records, and recorded May 12, 1987 as 87-266370 of official records are proposed to remain. The Project’s site has been designed to include an area along Figueroa Street held under an easement for road purposes, which will need to be abandoned to be incorporated as part of the Project site prior to any permit issuance by the Building Safety Division. Finalization of the vesting tentative parcel main is contingent upon resolving the easement status. Easements for a new emergency vehicle, public right-of-way dedication, and public utility easement will be recorded under the new subdivision. The subdivision consists of thirty-six condominium air-right units along Harbor Boulevard and Figueroa streets. The installation of all utilities will conform with the requirements stated in Section 41-626 of the Santa Ana Municipal Code.     City Council 19 – 116 6/3/2025 Resolution No. 2025-XX Page 6 of 13 The conceptual design of all proposed construction for the property will not affect the right-of-way for road purposes.     City Council 19 – 117 6/3/2025 Resolution No. 2025-XX Page 7 of 13 Section 2. Pursuant to the requirements of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), an Environmental Impact Report (EIR) was prepared and certified in 2014 in order to address the potential environmental impacts associated with the Harbor Mixed Use Corridor Specific Plan. A mitigation monitoring and reporting program (MMRP), findings of fact, and a statement of overriding consideration were adopted with the 2014 EIR. As proposed, the development is not anticipated to have additional environmental impacts not addressed in the 2014 EIR. Furthermore, in accordance with the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), the recommended action is exempt from further review under Section 15195 (Residential Infill Exemption), as this Project meets all the threshold criteria set forth in Section 15192 (Threshold Requirements for Exemptions). This exemption applies to projects or sites that: 1. Meet the threshold criteria set forth in section 15192; provided that with respect to the requirement in section15192(b) regarding community-level environmental review, such review must be certified or adopted within five years of the date that the lead agency deems the application for the project to be complete pursuant to Section 65943 of the Government Code. 2. Meet both of the following size criteria: A. The site of the project is not more than four acres in total area. B. The project does not include any single level building that exceeds 100,000 square feet. 3. Meet both of the following requirements regarding location: A. The project is a residential project on an infill site. B. The project is within one-half mile of a major transit stop. 4. Meet both of the following requirements regarding number of units: A. The project does not contain more than 100 residential units. B. The project promotes higher density infill housing. The lead agency may establish its own criteria for determining whether the project promotes higher density infill housing except in either of the following two circumstances: 1) A project with a density of at least 20 units per acre is conclusively presumed to promote higher density infill housing. 2) A project with a density of at least 10 units per acre and a density greater than the average density of the residential properties within 1,500 feet shall be presumed to promote higher density infill housing unless the preponderance of the evidence demonstrates otherwise. 5. Meets the following requirements regarding availability of affordable housing: The project would result in housing units being made available to moderat e, low, or very low income families as set forth in either A or B below: A. The project meets one of the following criteria, and the project developer provides sufficient legal commitments to the appropriate local agency to ensure the continued availability and use of the housing units as set forth below at monthly housing costs determined pursuant to paragraph (3) of subdivision (h) of Section 65589.5 of the Government Code. 1) At least 10-percent of the housing is sold to families of moderate income, or     City Council 19 – 118 6/3/2025 Resolution No. 2025-XX Page 8 of 13 2) Not less than 10-percent of the housing is rented to families of low income, or 3) Not less than 5-percent of the housing is rented families of very low income. B. If the project does not result in housing units being available as set forth in subdivision (A) above, then the project developer has paid or will pay in -lieu fees pursuant to a local ordinance in an amount sufficient to result in the development of an equivalent number of units that would otherwise be required pursuant to subparagraph (A). The Project’s site is not more than four acres in area, the Project does not include any single level building exceeding 100,000 square feet, and the Project is an infill development within one-half mile of a major transit stop. Moreover, the development promotes higher density infill housing, does not contain more than 100 residential units, and results in housing units made available to moderate income families. Based on this analysis, a Notice of Exemption, Environmental Review No. 2024-80, will be filed for this project. Section 3. The Applicant shall indemnify, protect, defend and hold the City and/or any of its officials, officers, employees, agents, departments, agencies, authorized volunteers, and instrumentalities thereof, harmless from any and all claims, demands, lawsuits, writs of mandamus, referendum, and other proceedings (whether legal, equitable, declaratory, administrative or adjudicatory in nature), and alternative dispute resolution procedures (including, but not limited to arbitrations, mediations, and such other procedures), judgments, orders, and decisions (collectively “Actions”), brought against the City and/or any of its officials, officers, employees, agents, departments, agencies, and instrumentalities thereof, that challenge, attack, or seek to modify, set aside, void, or annul, any action of, or any permit or approval issued by the City and/or any of its officials, officers, employees, agents, departments, agencies, and instrumentalities thereof (including actions approved by the voters of the City) for or concerning the project, whether such Actions are brought under the Ralph M. Brown Act, California Environmental Quality Act, the Planning and Zoning Law, the Subdivision Map Act, Code of Civil Procedure sections 1085 or 1094.5, or any other federal, state or local constitution, statute, law, ordinance, charter, rule, regulation, or any decision of a court of competent jurisdiction. It is expressly agreed that the City shall have the right to approve the legal counsel providing the City’s defense, and that Applicant shall reimburse the City for any costs and expenses directly and necessarily incurred by the City in the course of the defense. City shall promptly notify the Applicant of any Action brought and City shall cooperate with Applicant in the defense of the Action. Section 4.

The Planning Commission of the City of Santa Ana hereby finds, determines and declares as follows: A. Kim Prijatel, representing City Ventures Homebuilding, LLC (“Applicant”), on behalf of John Rezvani, Managing Member of the 205 S Harbor Plaza, LLC (“Property Owner”), is requesting approval of Vesting Tentative Tract Map No. 2025-02 (County Map No. 19329) and a concession, and waivers or reductions of certain development standards pursuant to State Density Bonus Law (“deviations” as referenced in the SAMC) to be memorialized in a density bonus agreement (“DBA”) to allow the construction of a thirty-six unit attached townhome development, four of which are proposed as onsite moderate- income affordable units, for the property located at 125 and 205 South Harbor Boulevard (“Project”). B. California Senate Bill 330, the Housing Crisis Act of 2019 (HCA), became effective on January 1, 2020, and established a statewide “housing emergency” until January 1, 2025. C. On January 1, 2022, the HCA was extended until January 1, 2030, with the passage of Senate Bill 8. D. The proposed development is being submitted as a Senate Bill No. 330 (SB 330) application. E. The Harbor Mixed Use Transit Corridor Plan (SP-2) was adopted in 2014 as a result of interest in developing mixed-use residential and commercial projects in its project area. The regulating plan, which establishes land uses and development standards, allows a variety of housing projects, including multi-family and mixed-use residential communities, as well as live/work     City Council 19 – 125 6/3/2025 Resolution No. 2025-XX Page 2 of 13 units. The selection of the SP-2 development standards for this Project is consistent with the overall character of the surrounding community. F. The California Density Bonus law allows developers to seek increases in base density for providing on-site housing units in exchange for providing affordable units on site. To help make constructing on-site affordable units feasible, the law allows developers to seek incentives/concessions or waivers or reductions of development standards. G. The Applicant’s request has been evaluated by the City’s Development Review Committee (“DRC”) through Development Project No. 2024-12. Through this review, the DRC has considered the subject site, proposed development, and the Applicant’s requests for a concession and waivers or reductions pursuant to the State’s Density Bonus Law. H. On April 28, 2025, the Planning Commission of the City of Santa Ana held a duly noticed public hearing and at that time considered all testimony, written and oral. I. Section 41-1607 of the Santa Ana Municipal Code (“SAMC”) requires an application for a density bonus agreement containing deviations (incentives/concessions and/or waivers or reductions) to be approved by the Planning Commission. J. The Planning Commission determined that the following findings, which must be established in order to grant a deviation pursuant to SAMC Section 41-1607, have been established for Density Bonus Agreement No. 2025-02 to allow construction of the proposed Project: 1. That the proposed development will materially assist in accomplishing the goal of providing affordable housing opportunities in economically balanced communities throughout the city. The proposed development will provide a thirty-six unit single- family attached townhome development, four of which are proposed as moderate-income affordable units, contributing toward the City’s ownership housing stock to serve the needs of diverse and underserved populations. The construction of this Project will contribute toward an economically balanced community by providing housing for different demographic and income levels in an area rich with employment opportunities, commercial development, and market-rate housing. 2. That the development will not be inconsistent with the purpose of the underlying zone or applicable designation in the general plan land use element.     City Council 19 – 126 6/3/2025 Resolution No. 2025-XX Page 3 of 13 The application is being submitted as a Senate Bill No. 330 application. The proposed Project and its design and improvements will be consistent with the Urban Neighborhood-50 (UN-50) land use designation of the General Plan and are otherwise consistent with all other elements of the General Plan and any applicable specific plans. The current general plan land use designation for the Project site is UN-50 which allows a mix of uses, including medium and medium-high density apartments, townhomes, garden- or motor-court homes, and neighborhood- serving commercial. The proposed density is 20 du/ac and well within the 50 dwelling units per acre (du/ac) maximum allowed under its general plan land use designation. 3. That the deviation is necessary to make it economically feasible for the Applicant to utilize a density bonus authorized for the development pursuant to section 41-1603. The proposed Project requires six deviations in: (1) vehicular access; (2) frontyard/porch width for symmetrical entry; (3) street setback dimension; (4) common open space area; (5) private open space area; and (6) private open space dimensions. The five deviations are described as follows: Vehicular Access SP-2 requires that vehicular access to off-street parking should be taken from the primary street unless an alley or side street is available. The Project proposes vehicular access from Harbor Boulevard rather than Figueroa Street, which would be considered a side street. Vehicular access is proposed along Harbor Boulevard to address the site's limited frontage on Figueroa Street and enhance overall resident usability. Relocating the primary access point to Harbor Boulevard ensures more functional, safe, and efficient entry for residents while improving fire protection access. Additionally, a pedestrian connection to Figueroa Street is planned to maintain foot traffic connectivity and accessibility. A redesign could necessitate reconfiguring building layouts, setbacks, and internal circulation pathways, which would result in a reduction in the overall number of market rate and affordable units. A site redesign may also result in a reduction in the overall common and private open space provided, which is already not meeting the required SP- 2 standards.     City Council 19 – 127 6/3/2025 Resolution No. 2025-XX Page 4 of 13 Frontyard/Porch Frontage – Width The development standards in SP-2 require minimum floor heights based on the selected frontage type (e.g., forecourt, shop front, stoop, etc.). The minimum dimension for porch type building frontages is 12’ width if a symmetrical entry. None of the porches fully meet this requirement as they only provide 4 ft wide symmetrical entries. Providing wider symmetrical entries would require substantial site revisions, reducing the number of market rate and affordable units and necessitating layout changes due to the site's width, depth, and vehicular circulation requirements. Moreover, modifying porch widths would be infeasible and would require building reconfiguration, disrupting the efficient floor plan, reducing interior space and bedroom counts, and impacting overall Project density. Setback – Public Street The maximum building to adjacent public street right-of-way setback is 8 feet. The Project proposes an 8.5 foot setback along Harbor Boulevard and 22 foot setback along Figueroa Street. Meeting the maximum setback requirement will affect the Project’s site layout by reducing proposed common and private open space. It will limit the land available for functional outdoor areas such as the private ground floor patios along Harbor Boulevard and the interior common open space courtyard along Figueroa Street. Modifying these setbacks to meet the 8 foot maximum would require significant reconfiguration of the building layout, potentially compromising the functionality of private patios, reducing the common courtyard space, and altering the overall design intent of the Project. These larger setbacks have been designed to balance resident privacy and usable open space within the site constraints. Common Open Space – Area Pursuant to SP-2, the minimum common open space for the Project site (net) is equal to 15 percent of the lot, or approximately 9,409 sq. ft. As proposed, the Project provides a 1,951 sq. ft. of common open space (approximately 3 percent), which is a difference of 7,458 sq. ft. or 12-percent.     City Council 19 – 128 6/3/2025 Resolution No. 2025-XX Page 5 of 13 The minimum common open space requirement specified in SP-2 is designed to offer visual relief and strengthen the connection to the natural environment. As new homes and businesses are established along the corridor, there will be an increased demand for spaces to relax and recreate that are easy to access. While the full 15 percent is not provided, residents will still have access to a 1,951 square foot common open space courtyard within the site’s interior. The design and layout (approx. 30 ft. x 65 ft.) of the proposed common open space would provide functional amenities to residents (e.g., picnic tables, BBQ, lounge furniture, etc.). The open space would also feature a shade trellis, hardscaping materials, trees, and shrubs. In addition, the project benefits from its proximity to Santa Anita Park, located directly east and accessible via a pedestrian gate along the Figueroa frontage. This nearby public green space compensates for the reduced on-site open space, enhancing accessibility to recreational areas and supporting community connectivity. Meeting the minimum required open space would eliminate six or more units, affecting project feasibility. To maintain the proposed unit count, the developer would need to modify the building type and construct additional floors, potentially exceeding the maximum allowable height in the Harbor Mixed Use Transit Corridor Plan (SP-2) and increasing development costs. To help alleviate the open space deficiency, the Project proposes an average of 212 sq. ft. of private open space per unit, through private balconies/decks. Private Open Space – Area The minimum required private open space is 90 sq. ft. per dwelling unit. Two (2) of the 36 units do not meet this requirement, while the remaining thirty-four (34) units fulfill the minimum area required through a combination of upper balconies/decks and ground floor yards. The most direct approach to meeting the minimum private open space requirement would involve extending the balconies of the two non-compliant units by at least three feet toward Harbor Boulevard, a busy and noisy thoroughfare. This adjustment would not only compromise their livability but also reduce the sense of privacy for residents as balconies would be closer to the street and more exposed to public view. Furthermore, this expansion would diminish the visibility of the corner unit’s live/work space from the street. These changes would also disrupt the cohesive design rhythm and shared     City Council 19 – 129 6/3/2025 Resolution No. 2025-XX Page 6 of 13 building plane with the other nine units along the street, creating an aesthetic imbalance that detracts from the project's overall architectural harmony. Private Open Space – Dimensions The minimum dimensions for private open space are 6 feet in all directions. Three (3) out of the 36 units (Units 1, 2, & 11) do not meet the minimum 6 feet in all directions for private area. Addressing Units 1 and 2 would involve extending their balconies toward Harbor Boulevard, a busy and noisy thoroughfare, while Unit 11 could alternatively expand its ground-floor patio closer to the street. Both solutions, however, would bring private areas nearer to the high -traffic corridor, reducing resident privacy and diminishing the corner unit’s live/work space visibility. These modifications would also disrupt the cohesive design rhythm and shared building plane with the other nine units, creating an aesthetic imbalance that undermines the project’s architectural harmony. Section 2. Pursuant to the requirements of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), an Environmental Impact Report (EIR) was prepared and certified in 2014 in order to address the potential environmental impacts associated with the Harbor Mixed Use Corridor Specific Plan. A mitigation monitoring and reporting program (MMRP), findings of fact, and a statement of overriding consideration were adopted with the 2014 EIR. As proposed, the development is not anticipated to have additional environmental impacts not addressed in the 2014 EIR. Furthermore, in accordance with the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), the recommended action is exempt from further review under Section 15195 (Residential Infill Exemption), as this Project meets all the threshold criteria set forth in Section 15192 (Threshold Requirements for Exemptions). This exemption applies to projects or sites that: 1. Meet the threshold criteria set forth in section 15192; provided that with respect to the requirement in section15192(b) regarding community-level environmental review, such review must be certified or adopted within five years of the date that the lead agency deems the application for the project to be complete pursuant to Section 65943 of the Government Code. 2. Meet both of the following size criteria: A. The site of the project is not more than four acres in total area. B. The project does not include any single level building that exceeds 100,000 square feet. 3. Meet both of the following requirements regarding location:     City Council 19 – 130 6/3/2025 Resolution No. 2025-XX Page 7 of 13 A. The project is a residential project on an infill site. B. The project is within one-half mile of a major transit stop. 4. Meet both of the following requirements regarding number of units: A. The project does not contain more than 100 residential units. B. The project promotes higher density infill housing. The lead agency may establish its own criteria for determining whether the project promotes higher density infill housing except in either of the following two circumstances: 1) A project with a density of at least 20 units per acre is conclusively presumed to promote higher density infill housing. 2) A project with a density of at least 10 units per acre and a density greater than the average density of the residential properties within 1,500 feet shall be presumed to promote higher density infill housing unless the preponderance of the evidence demonstrates otherwise. 5. Meets the following requirements regarding availability of affordable housing: The project would result in housing units being made available to moderate, low, or very low income families as set forth in either A or B below: A. The project meets one of the following criteria, and the project developer provides sufficient legal commitments to the appropriate local agency to ensure the continued availability and use of the housing units as set forth below at monthly housing costs determined pursuant to paragraph (3) of subdivision (h) of Section 65589.5 of the Government Code. 1) At least 10-percent of the housing is sold to families of moderate income, or 2) Not less than 10-percent of the housing is rented to families of low income, or 3) Not less than 5-percent of the housing is rented families of very low income. B. If the project does not result in housing units being available as set forth in subdivision (A) above, then the project developer has paid or will pay in -lieu fees pursuant to a local ordinance in an amount sufficient to result in the development of an equivalent number of units that would otherwise be required pursuant to subparagraph (A). The project site is not more than four acres in area, the project does not include any single level building exceeding 100,000 square feet, and the project is an infill development within one-half mile of a major transit stop. Moreover, the development promotes higher density infill housing, does not contain more than 100 residential units, and results in housing units made available to moderate income families. Based on this analysis, a Notice of Exemption, Environmental Review No. 2024-80, will be filed for this project. Section 3.

RESOLUTION NO. 2025-XXX entitled A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF SANTA ANA CONCERNING THE STATUS AND UPDATE OF THE MOBILITY ELEMENT, AND MITIGATION FEE PROGRAM FOR THE MEASURE M (M2) PROGRAM GOVERNMENT CODE §84308 APPLIES: No DISCUSSION In November 1990, Orange County voters approved Measure M, a one-half cent sales tax increase for 20 years, to fund transportation projects in Orange County. In November 2006, voters approved the Renewal of Measure M (M2), for an additional thirty years, effective in April 2011. The Orange County Transportation Authority (OCTA) administers M2 revenues and expenditures and Cities must meet 13 eligibility requirements to qualify to receive M2 funding. A portion of the revenues generated by M2 contribute to two types of local roadway funding: Local Fair Share (LFS) and competitive grants. LFS funding is distributed on a formula-based allocation determined by population, arterial roadway miles, and taxable sales. Competitive grant funding is available through OCTA’s Comprehensive Transportation Funding Program (CTFP) and regularly releases calls for projects. Cities are required to submit various M2 program compliance documentation to OCTA to remain eligible for M2 funding. Fulfilling M2 eligibility requirements allows the City access to over $6 million annually in LFS alone. OCTA determines local agency annual eligibility for M2 funds based upon the local agency’s successful and timely submittal of required documentation. As part of the     City Council 20 – 1 6/3/2025 Measure M2 Funding Eligibility Renewal June 3, 2025 Page 2 5 0 8 0 requirements due by June 30, 2025, the City must include an adopted resolution that affirms consistency between the City's Mobility Element and OCTA’s Master Plan of Arterial Highways (MPAH), and reaffirm that the City has an existing Mitigation Fee Program (Exhibit 1). City staff has reviewed and updated the City’s street classification system to ensure traffic mobility and traffic safety are in alignment with City goals, and have coordinated those changes with OCTA. This resolution attests that the City's adopted General Plan Mobility Element (Exhibit 2) is consistent with the MPAH, does not preclude implementation of the MPAH within Santa Ana, and that no unilateral reduction in vehicle lanes has been made on MPAH arterials during Fiscal Years 23-24 and 24-25 (Exhibit 3). Additionally, the proposed resolution reaffirms the City's concurrence with its existing and previously adopted Transportation System Improvement Area fees to mitigate the effects of new development on transportation infrastructure (Exhibit 4). Measure M2 Program Guidelines require local agencies to assess traffic impacts of new development and require new development to pay a fair share of necessary transportation improvements attributable to the new development. The development impact fee programs and policies currently in place satisfy this requirement and are updated each fiscal year by Council action through the budget process. Staff recommends City Council adopt the proposed resolution. Adoption of the resolution by June 30, 2025 is required to meet Measure M2 Program guidelines, ensure that the City continues to receive Measure M2 Local Fair Share funds each year, and remain eligible for CTFP grant funding. ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT There is no environmental impact associated with the action. FISCAL IMPACT There is no fiscal impact at this time. The recommended actions will maintain the City’s eligibility to receive Measure M2 funds. Upon meeting OCTA eligibility requirements, the City of Santa Ana is anticipated to receive $6,338,621 in LFS funds (as of March 2025 estimate) and an undetermined amount in M2 competitive funds for FY 2025-26. If the recommended action is not approved, the City stands to lose Measure M2 LFS revenue and eligibility to apply for various future OCTA comprehensive funding programs. EXHIBIT(S) 1. Resolution 2.

NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the City Council for the City of Santa Ana, does hereby inform OCTA that: Section 1. The arterial highway portion of the Mobility Element of the City is in conformance with the MPAH. Section 2. The City attests that no unilateral reduction in through lanes has been made on any MPAH arterials during FY 2023-24 and FY 2024-25. Section 3. The City affirms that it will bring forward requests to amend the MPAH, when necessary, in order to ensure that the MPAH and the General Plan Mobility Circulation Element remain consistent. Section 4. The City reaffirms that the existing Mitigation Fee Program is in effect.

Sec. 41-2006. Zones Established (a) Purpose. This section establishes the zones applied to property within the plan area by the Regulating Plan. The Regulating Plan divides the plan area into separate zones that are based on a transect of intensity within the plan area that ranges from the most urban types of development and land use to the least urban types, with most zones providing for a significant mixture of land uses within them. This approach differs from conventional zoning maps that typically divide cities into zones that rigidly segregate residential, commercial, industrial, and institu- tional uses into separate areas, and thereby require residents to drive for nearly all daily activities. The use of zones based on development intensity (instead of land use zones) as the spatial basis for regulating development, directly reflects the functions of, and interrelationships between, each part of the plan area. The zones also effectively implement the City’s urban design objectives for each part of the plan area, to establish and maintain attractive distinctions between each zone. This is why some parcels are zoned with more than one zone. In such cases, the zoning is divided along a clear boundary such as the middle of a block. The zones of this Regulating Plan allocate architectural types, frontage types, and land uses within the plan area, as well as providing detailed standards for building placement, height and profile. The diagram to the right identifies the 9 zones applied within the plan area as they relate to existing rights-of-way and parcels. (b) Zones established. The following zones are applicable to this specific plan, and applied to property within the boundary as shown on the Regulating Plan. (1) Transit Village (TV) Zone. The Transit Village zone is intended to provide standards for compact transit- supportive mixed-use/residential development. This zone is characterized by a wide range of building intensity, including mixed-use tower-on-podium buildings, flex blocks, liners, stacked flats, and courtyard housing. The zone accommodates retail, restaurant, entertainment, and other pedestrian-oriented uses at street level, with offices and flats above in the mixed-use building types, at high intensities and densities. The landscape palette is urban, with shading and accent street trees in parkway strips along Santa Ana Boulevard, and in sidewalk tree wells where on-street parking is provided. Parking is accommo- dated on-street, in structures with liner buildings, and underground. (2) Government Center (GC) Zone. This area accommodates a wide variety of civic uses, including Federal, State, and local government offices and services, libraries, museums, community centers, and other civic assembly facilities. Building types vary according to their public purpose, are programmed by the various government agencies for their specific sites, and therefore are not coded by the Transit Zoning code (SD-84A and SD 84B). The landscape style is urban, emphasizing shading street trees in sidewalk tree wells, and in landscaped public plazas. (3) Downtown (DT) Zone. This zone is applied to the historical shopping district of Santa Ana, a vital, pedestrian-oriented area that is defined by multi-story urban building types (flex blocks, live-work, stacked dwellings, and courtyard housing in the Downtown edges) accommodating a mixture of retail, office, light service, and residential uses. The standards of this zone are intended to reinforce the form and char- acter represented by pre-World War II buildings and recognized as a National Historic District, through restoration, rehabilitation, and context-sensitive infill. The standards also facilitate the replacement or improvement of post-war development that eliminated the pedestrian orientation of various downtown blocks (for example, parking structures with no features of pedestrian interest along their entire lengths). The landscape style is urban, emphasizing shad- ing and accent street trees in sidewalk tree wells. Parking is accommodated on-street and may also be in structures with liner buildings, underground, and within block centers in surface lots not visible from streets. (4) Urban Center (UC) Zone. This zone is applied to the area surrounding the Downtown, which serves as a transitional area to the surrounding lower intensity neighborhoods and to other areas where mixed-use and multi-unit residential buildings create a pedestrian- oriented urban fabric. The zone provides for a variety of non-residential uses and a mix of housing types at medium intensities and densities. Besides accommodating community serving businesses, this zone may also serve the daily convenience shopping and service needs of nearby residents. Building types include mixed-use Flex Blocks, stacked flats, live-work, rowhouses, and courtyard housing. The landscape is urban, emphasizing shading street trees in sidewalk tree wells. Parking is accommodated on-street and may also be in structures with liner buildings and underground in areas adjacent to the DT zone, and in surface lots away from street frontages. (5) Corridor (CDR) Zone. This zone is applied to properties fronting existing commercial corridors and provides standards to improve pedestrian-orientation in a transit-supportive, mixed use area. Mixed-use flex block and live-work building types are at or near the sidewalk, and accommodate street level retail, service, and office uses, with office and residential above. The landscape style is urban, emphasizing shad- ing street trees in sidewalk tree wells. Parking is accommodated on-street, and in screened surface lots between buildings, or away from streets, with no more than half the site frontage occupied by parking. (6) Urban Neighborhood 2 (UN-2) Zone. This zone is applied to primarily residential areas intended to accommodate a variety of housing types, with some opportunities for live-work, neighborhood- serving retail, and cafes. Appropriate building types include single dwellings, duplexes, triplexes and quadplexes, courtyard housing, rowhouses, and live- work. In some areas, the more intense, hybrid court building type is allowed where additional intensity is warranted while maintaining compatibility with neighboring properties (see Regulating Plan). The landscape is appropriate to a neighborhood, with shading street trees in parkway strips, and shallow-depth landscaped front yards separating buildings from sidewalks. Parking is on- street, and in garages located away from street frontages. (7) Urban Neighborhood 1 (UN-1) Zone. This zone is applied to existing primarily residential areas and is intended to strengthen and stabilize the low intensity nature of these neighborhoods. : Regulating Plan and Zones Established Figure 2.1 Regulating Plan with Existing R.O.W. 0 250 500 1000 ft EXHIBIT 2     City Council 20 – 25 6/3/2025 2:2 TRANSIT ZONING CODE SPECIFIC DEVELOPMENT 84 City of Santa Ana, California Appropriate building types include single dwellings, duplexes, tri- plexes, and quadplexes, and live-work. The landscape is appropri- ate to a neighborhood, with shading street trees in parkway strips and landscaped front yards separating buildings from sidewalks. Parking is on-street, and in garages located away from street front- ages. (8) Industial Overlay (I-OZ) Zone. The I-OZ is applied to areas currently zoned M1 or M2, and occu- pied with an industrial use, to allow the types of land use activity and development permitted by existing M1 and M2 zoning to con- tinue until such time that the owner chooses to apply the new zones identified in Figure 2.1. In order to determine if the M1 or M2 land use activity and development apply to a particular parcel, the I-OZ is further identified as I-OZ-M1 or I-OZ-M2. Until the property owner applies to modify the zoning district, property in the I-OZ shall be regulated by the provisions of the M1 and M2 zones (SAMC 41, Article III, Divisions 18 and 19), as applicable. (9) Open Space (O) Zone. This zone identifies areas reserved for community parks and other open spaces. Allowable structures in this zone are limited to those necessary to support the specific purposes of the particular open space area (e.g., sport-court enclosures and multi-purpose build- ings in active parks, and trails within passive parks).

Building and Parking Placement, Building Height and Profile, Encroachments, and Parking Summary A. Requirements 1. Purpose. This Division identifies the standards and requirements for new build- ings, or buildings to be modified, for each zone within the Code area to ensure that proposed development is consistent with the City's goals for building form, character, and quality within the Code area. The zones are organized by intensity from the most intense (TV) to the least intense (UN-1). Unless stated other- wise, all requirements are expressed as 'minimums' and may be exceeded (e.g., 2 parking spaces required and 3 provided) in compliance with all applicable provisions of this code and Chapter 41. 2. Applicability. Each proposed improvement and building shall be designed in compliance with the standards of this Division for the applicable zone, except for public and institutional buildings, which because of their unique disposition and application are not required to comply with these requirements and are reviewed by a special permit and procedures. 3. Requirements by zone. Each proposed building shall be designed according to the urban standards identified per the zone in which the property is located. B.

RESOLUTION NO. 2025-XXX entitled A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF SANTA ANA ADOPTING A LIST OF PROJECTS TO BE FUNDED BY FISCAL YEAR 2025-26 FUNDED BY SB 1: THE ROAD REPAIR AND ACCOUNTABILITY ACT OF 2017 GOVERNMENT CODE §84308 APPLIES: No DISCUSSION In April 2017, California passed Senate Bill 1, the Road Repair and Accountability Act of 2017 which created the Road Maintenance and Rehabilitation Account (RMRA), to address basic road maintenance, rehabilitation, and critical safety needs on both the state highway and the local streets systems. The state of California imposes per-gallon excise taxes on gasoline and diesel fuel, sales taxes on gasoline and diesel fuel and registration taxes on motor vehicles with allocations dedicated to transportation purposes. The local (city and county) portions of these allocations are calculated based on population and flow through the Highway Users Tax Account (HUTA), the familiar gasoline tax revenues that have been in place for decades, and RMRA. During the RMRA program application period each year, local agencies are required to adopt a resolution that includes a list of planned eligible projects that will utilize respective fiscal year RMRA funding, and submit the resolution to the California     City Council 21 – 1 6/3/2025 SB1 FY 2025-26 Projects List June 3, 2025 Page 2 5 0 7 9 Transportation Commission (CTC) (Exhibit 1). Each proposed RMRA-funded project must be specifically identified and differentiated from other gas tax funding programs. For fiscal year 2025-26, the City is estimated to receive RMRA funding in the amount of $8,154,314. The City must submit a proposed fiscal year 25-26 RMRA projects list to the CTC, and as required, provide updates on RMRA funded project progress. The proposed fiscal year 2025-26 projects list must include a project description, specific location, proposed schedule for its completion, and the project’s estimated useful life. The proposed RMRA funded projects have been incorporated in the proposed fiscal year 2025-26 Capital Improvement Program Budget (Exhibit 2). The proposed projects for fiscal year 2025-26 were identified by the City’s Pavement Management Program as high priority to maintain Santa Ana’s Pavement Condition Index (PCI) citywide. Staff recommends that the City Council adopt a resolution recognizing the proposed fiscal year 2025-26 RMRA funded project list. Euclid Street The City’s proposed fiscal year 2025-26 capital improvement program includes $4.8M RMRA funds for Euclid Street improvements. These RMRA funds were received and Euclid Street listed as a project in prior fiscal year reports to the CTC and is therefore not included in this proposed fiscal year 25-26 list. To supplement local funding for Euclid Street and to deliver a complete corridor project, PWA staff has submitted grant funding applications through the Southern California Association of Governments (SCAG) for the Federal Fiscal Year 2026-27 and Federal Fiscal Year 2027-28 Surface Transportation Block Grant (STBG) program and the Congestion Mitigation and Air Quality improvement program (CMAQ). Furthermore, PWA staff will be submitting a grant application for the Federal Safe Streets for All program due June 26, 2025 and, if successful, will return to Council for acceptance of awards. ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT There is no environmental impact associated with the action. FISCAL IMPACT Pursuant to the California Transportation Commission’s Annual Reporting Guidelines for Local Streets and Roads Funding, Staff has identified 11 projects to be funded with anticipated fiscal year 2025-26 RMRA revenues of $8,154,314.

The City Council of the City of Santa Ana hereby finds, determines and declares as follows: A.Senate Bill 1 (SB 1), the Road Repair and Accountability Act of 2017, was passed by the Legislature and signed into law by the Governor in April 2017 in order to address the significant multi-modal transportation funding shortfalls statewide. B.SB 1 includes accountability and transparency provisions that will ensure the residents of the City of Santa Ana are aware of the projects proposed for funding in our community and which projects have been completed each fiscal year. C.The City of Santa Ana must establish a list of all projects to receive funding from the Road Maintenance and Rehabilitation Account (RMRA), created by SB 1, which must include a description and the location of each proposed project, a proposed schedule for the project’s completion, and the estimated useful life of the improvement. D.The City will receive an estimated $8,154,314 in RMRA funding in Fiscal Year 2025-26 from SB 1. E.This is the ninth year in which the City of Santa Ana is receiving SB 1 funding and will enable the City to continue essential road maintenance and rehabilitation projects, safety improvements, repairing and replacing aging bridges, and increasing access and mobility options for the traveling public that would not have otherwise been possible without SB 1. F.The City used a Pavement Management System to develop the SB 1 project list to ensure revenues are being used on the most high-priority and cost-effective projects that also meet the priorities of the community for transportation investment. G.The funding from SB 1 will help the City maintain and rehabilitate eleven streets/roads throughout the City this year and future streets/roads rehabilitations, bridge projects, and active transportation projects in the future. H.The 2023 California Statewide Local Streets and Roads Needs Assessment found that the City’s streets and roads are in good condition and this revenue will help us EXHIBIT 1     City Council 21 – 5 6/3/2025 Resolution No. 2025-XXX Page 2 of 4 maintain the overall quality of our road system and over the next decade will allow us the opportunity to enhance our overall streets and roads condition. I.The SB 1 project list and overall investment in our local streets and roads infrastructure with a focus on basic maintenance, safety, investing in complete streets infrastructure, and using cutting-edge technology, materials and practices, will have significant positive co-benefits statewide. Section 2. The City of Santa Ana adopts the following list of newly proposed projects to be funded in-part or solely with Road Maintenance and Rehabilitation Account (RMRA) revenues for Fiscal Year 2025-26.

These federal funds provide for the development of affordable housing, street improvements, park and public facilities improvements, economic development, code enforcement, nonprofit public services, the expansion and retention of businesses, and for the delivery of services for individuals experiencing homelessness. In general, the Five-Year Consolidated Plan describes how the City will invest and allocate these limited federal funds for and on behalf of the community. The Five-Year Consolidated Plan covers the five-year period from July 1, 2025 to June 30, 2029. It also includes the first Annual Action Plan for the one-year period from July 1, 2025 through June 30, 2026 (e.g. it includes the Annual Plan for the first year of the Five-Year Plan). These two planning documents are described in detail below. Fiscal Year 2025-29 Five-Year Consolidated Plan The Fiscal Year 2025-29 Five-Year Consolidated Plan is the City of Santa Ana’s Strategic Plan for the investment of annual allocations of CDBG, HOME, and ESG funds from HUD during the five-year period covered by the Consolidated Plan beginning July 1, 2025 and ending June 30, 2029 (Exhibit 1). The Five-Year Consolidated Plan (Plan) outlines the overall strategy that the City intends to carry out over the next five years and identifies the objectives and outcomes to be accomplished with that strategy. In consideration of limited grant resources, the Strategic Plan within the Consolidated Plan outlines the areas and population segments with the greatest level of need for a particular program or activity and intends to invest grant resources in high leverage opportunities where data suggests that the City will be able to maximize the impact of every dollar. The Strategic Plan identifies the City’s priority needs, including the rationale for establishing allocation priorities, and specific measurable goals to be addressed during the five-year period covered by the Consolidated Plan through activities to be implemented as part of the five Annual Action Plans using CDBG, HOME, and ESG Program funds. The Consolidated Plan also contains a Needs Assessment and Market Analysis that provide insight into the different levels of need in the community and the market in which grant-funded programs will be implemented. The Needs Assessment incorporates national data from the 2020 American Community Survey 5-Year Estimates, the 2016-2020 Comprehensive Housing Affordability Strategy (CHAS), and the 2023 and 2024 Point-In-Time (PIT) Homeless Counts in addition to data sets from HUD, the State of California, and local/regional data. Based on the Needs Assessment and Market Analysis, the Strategic Plan identifies six high priority needs to be addressed using the City’s CDBG, HOME, and ESG Program funds. The six priority needs for the City include: •Expand the supply of affordable housing •Preserve the supply of affordable housing •Access to and supply of public services •Increase access to and supply of homeless services and facilities •Promote economic opportunity    City Council 23 – 2 6/3/2025 FY 2025-29 Five-Year Consolidated Plan, FY 2025-26 Annual Action Plan and Budgets for CDBG, HOME, and ESG Programs June 3, 2025 Page 3 5 0 7 3 •Improve City public facilities and infrastructure The City of Santa Ana anticipates that it will continue to receive CDBG, HOME, and ESG funding during the duration of this Consolidated Plan cycle. When accounting for program income and prior year resources, the City anticipates that it will have the following funding to target to its strategic goals and priorities over the next five years (page 97): Program Allocation CDBG $20,950,890 HOME $5,795,310 ESG $1,886,650 TOTAL $28,632,850 The summary of goals to be achieved through the Strategic Plan is provided in a table on page 104 of the Consolidated Plan. The goals are aspirational in nature and subject to adjustment dependent on funding from HUD, city resources, and staff capacity. Staff reports out on our progress to achieve the goals each year through the Consolidated Annual Performance and Evaluation Report submitted to City Council after every fiscal year. Fiscal Year 2025-26 Annual Action Plan The Consolidated Plan includes the first of five Annual Action Plans during the five-year period covered by the Consolidated Plan. As part of this five-year strategic planning process, the City is required to submit an Annual Action Plan each year that describes how the City will achieve the goals stated in the Five-Year Consolidated Plan. This document establishes a one-year investment plan that outlines the intended use of resources in the forthcoming fiscal year. The proposed Annual Action Plan covers Fiscal Year (FY) 2025–26 and seeks to allocate funding where programs and resources will have the maximum positive impact (Exhibit 1). The Annual Action Plan describes the planned use of the City’s federal entitlement grants specifically for FY 2025-26. For FY 2025-26, the City will receive $4,190,178 in CDBG program funds and $176,300 in prior years resources, $1,159,062 in HOME program funds, and $377,330 in ESG program funds from HUD: Program Allocation CDBG $4,366,478 HOME $1,159,062 ESG $377,330 TOTAL $5,902,870     City Council 23 – 3 6/3/2025 FY 2025-29 Five-Year Consolidated Plan, FY 2025-26 Annual Action Plan and Budgets for CDBG, HOME, and ESG Programs June 3, 2025 Page 4 5 0 7 3 The various projects and programs covered under the FY 2025-26 Annual Action Plan are designed to serve low-income residents. The FY 2025-26 Annual Action Plan includes the program budgets described in detail below for the CDBG, HOME, and ESG programs respectively. Community Development Block Grant Program Budget The Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) program provides funds to improve low and moderate-income neighborhoods, eliminate blight, and create a more stable economic base. These funds may be used for a diverse range of programs, including affordable housing, street improvements, park and public facilities improvements, economic development, code enforcement, and public services. The City’s CDBG allocation for FY 2025-26, is $4,190,178. The proposed FY 2025-26 CDBG Program Funding Plan consists of the Community Development Commission funding recommendations for nonprofit public service programs from 2024 and staff’s funding recommendations this year for administration and planning, code enforcement, city capital improvements, and housing. The CDBG Program Funding Plan can be summarized in two general categories: 1) Capital Projects/CDBG Program Funding Plan; and 2) Public Services. A summary of the process and allocation for the FY 2025-26 CDBG Program is provided below for both general categories. Capital Projects/CDBG Program Funding Plan The FY 2025-26 CDBG Program Funding Plan includes the funding allocations for administration and planning, code enforcement in low and moderate-income areas of the city to address health and safety violations, economic development to provide small business grants, nonprofit public services, city capital improvement projects, and single-family rehabilitation grants (Exhibit 2). The CDBG allowable cap of 20% for administration and fair housing services is $838,035 for FY 2025-26. Administration is necessary for staffing, compliance, reporting, fiscal management, studies, and monitoring of the entire program. Fair housing is necessary due to CDBG requirements that the City affirmatively further fair housing. Two new city capital improvement projects are recommended for funding for a total of $591,955, which includes $415,655 for Cedar Street Improvements and $176,300 for the Bristol-Tolliver Street Urban Greening Project. The proposed programs and capital improvement projects have been determined to be of highest priority and need by the Executive Directors of the Parks, Recreation, and Community Services Agency, Public Works Agency, and Community Development Agency. These determinations come subsequent to the City's internal application process, ensuring a thorough assessment and alignment with overarching objectives.     City Council 23 – 4 6/3/2025 FY 2025-29 Five-Year Consolidated Plan, FY 2025-26 Annual Action Plan and Budgets for CDBG, HOME, and ESG Programs June 3, 2025 Page 5 5 0 7 3 FY 2025-26 CDBG Program Budget General Activity Funding Amount CDBG Program Administration and Fair Housing $838,035 Code Enforcement - Enforcement of Housing and Municipal Building Codes $825,000 Economic Development $100,000 Non-Profit Public Services $628,527 City Capital Improvements $591,955 Housing $1,382,961 TOTAL $4,366,478 City Department / Division 2025-26 Award Community Development Agency - Administration of the CDBG Program.

A CHDO is a private nonprofit, community-based organization that has staff with the capacity to develop affordable housing for the community it serves. In order to qualify for designation as a CHDO, the organization must meet certain requirements pertaining to their legal status, organizational structure, and capacity and experience. The City’s HOME allocation for FY 2025-26 is $1,159,062. In this Annual Action Plan, funds are proposed for program administration, the required set-aside for CHDOs, and funds for affordable housing development and rehabilitation. FY 2025-26 HOME Program Budget General Activity Funding Amount HOME Program Administration $115,906 HOME CHDO Set-Aside $173,859 Affordable Housing Development and Rehabilitation $869,296 TOTAL $1,159,061 The FY 2025-26 HOME Program Funding Plan is not attached as an exhibit because the funding plan is described in the table above. Emergency Solutions Grant The Emergency Solutions Grants (ESG) program provides funds to assist both sheltered and unsheltered homeless individuals, as well as those on the brink of homelessness, enabling them to swiftly regain stability in permanent housing after experiencing a housing crisis and/or homelessness. Recipients of ESG funding in Orange County include the following entitlement jurisdictions: the County of Orange, City of Anaheim, City of Irvine, City of Santa Ana, and City of Garden Grove. Collectively, this group is referred to as the Orange County ESG Collaborative that was formed over ten years ago. The City's ESG allocation for FY 2025-26 is $377,330. The proposed FY 2025-26 ESG Program Funding Plan includes a list of homeless service providers recommended for funding for FY 2025-26 (Exhibit 4). These funding recommendations are based upon applications received during the 2019 RFP process, taking into account performance metrics and current needs as identified by staff.

Efforts were made to encourage participation by low- and moderate-income persons, particularly those living in slum and blighted areas and in areas where HUD funds are proposed to be used, and by residents of predominantly low- and moderate-income neighborhoods. The City also made efforts to encourage the participation of minorities and non-English speaking persons, as well as persons with disabilities. The consultation process included representatives of the Continuum of Care, Santa Ana Housing Authority, and other specified groups who completed surveys, provided local data, and assisted the City to ensure practical coordination of strategies to maximize impact and to avoid duplication of effort. To foster meaningful engagement and gather comprehensive input, staff created two surveys, distributed flyers, and held 13 community meetings. For the two surveys, first a Community Needs Survey was made available in electronic and hard copy in English, Spanish, and Vietnamese. It was open from October 3, 2024 to December 11, 2024. A total of 102 responses were received. A second Stakeholder Survey was made available in English from October 23, 2024 to November 23, 2024. It was e-mailed to hundreds of businesses and nonprofit organizations. A total of 40 responses were received. Consolidated Plan flyers soliciting community and stakeholder input were created in English, Spanish, and Vietnamese. These flyers include a link to the survey and they were distributed to the following recipients, who were asked to share them with their respective stakeholders: • CDBG nonprofit contacts for FY 2023-24 and FY 2024-25 • ESG nonprofit contacts for FY 2023-24 and FY 2024-25 • 2-1-1 list of non-profits and other community organizations • Affordable housing developers and their property management companies • Neighborhood Associations Newsletters • Community Development Commissioners • Economic Development’s list of business owners • Homeless Services Division list of homeless service providers • Posted on City’s Parks, Recreation, and Community Services Catalog Page • Delivered flyers to all of the City’s Community Centers     City Council 23 – 8 6/3/2025 FY 2025-29 Five-Year Consolidated Plan, FY 2025-26 Annual Action Plan and Budgets for CDBG, HOME, and ESG Programs June 3, 2025 Page 9 5 0 7 3 • Posted on City’s social media platforms including Twitter, Instagram, Facebook, Nixle, COSA Newsletter • Housing Authority’s Family Self-Sufficiency program and lobby • Santa Anita’s Thanksgiving Event on Saturday, November 16th A total of 13 Consolidated Plan Community Meetings were also held at the following locations with 134 participants in attendance: Date Location Event Type Time # of Participants Tuesday, October 22 Southwest Senior Center Community Meeting 5:00 p.m. to 7:00 p.m.1 Wednesday, October 23 Roosevelt Walker Stakeholder Meeting 9:30 a.m. to 12:00 p.m.0 Stakeholder Meeting 1:30 p.m. to 4:30 p.m.10Thursday, October 24 Salgado Community Center Community Meeting 4:30 p.m. to 7:30 p.m.0 Friday, October 25 El Salvador Community Center Community Meeting 10:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m.0 Monday, November 4 Willard Neighborhood Association Neighborhood Association Meeting (English and Spanish) 5:00 p.m. to 7:00 p.m.23 Artesia Pillar Neighborhood Association Neighborhood Association Meeting (English and Spanish) 6:00 p.m. to 8:00 p.m.10 Thursday, November 7 Downtown and Flower Neighborhood Association Neighborhood Association Meeting 6:00 p.m. to 8:00 p.m.8 Tuesday, November 12 Pacific Park Neighborhood Association Neighborhood Association Meeting (English and Spanish) 6:00 p.m. to 8:00 p.m.18 Wednesday, November 13 Mabury Neighborhood Association Neighborhood Association Meeting (English) 6:00 p.m. to 8:00 p.m.15 Morning Virtual Meeting 10:30 a.m. to 11:00 a.m.21Tuesday, November 19 Virtual Meetings via Teams Afternoon Virtual Meeting 2:30 p.m. to 3:30 p.m.11 Thursday, November 21 ComLink Neighborhood Association Neighborhood Association Meeting (English) 6:00 p.m. to 7:00 p.m.17 TOTAL 134 For comparison purposes of the extent of outreach for this Consolidated Plan compared to the last one, in 2020 staff held only five community workshops and conducted a     City Council 23 – 9 6/3/2025 FY 2025-29 Five-Year Consolidated Plan, FY 2025-26 Annual Action Plan and Budgets for CDBG, HOME, and ESG Programs June 3, 2025 Page 10 5 0 7 3 survey. For this Consolidated Plan, staff conducted nearly three times the amount of community meetings and outreach as before while also conducting a survey. Fiscal Year 2025-29 Regional Assessment of Fair Housing The federal regulations for the Consolidated Plan require that grantees conduct an Assessment of Fair Housing (AFH), take appropriate actions to overcome the effects of impediments identified through that Assessment, and maintain records reflecting the assessment and actions (Exhibit 6). An AFH is a document that analyzes local and regional policies, procedures, and practices within a community that may limit a person’s ability to choose their residence free from discrimination, and addresses actions that may be taken to overcome these discriminatory housing policies, procedures, and practices While the requirement to complete an AFH must be fulfilled by individual grantees, HUD encourages regional collaboration for this planning effort. In Orange County, 19 entitlement cities (Aliso Viejo, Anaheim, Buena Park, Costa Mesa, Fountain Valley, Fullerton, Garden Grove, Huntington Beach, Irvine, La Habra, Laguna Niguel, Lake Forest, Mission Viejo, Newport Beach, Orange, Rancho Santa Margarita, San Clemente, Santa Ana, Tustin, and Westminster) and 14 cities contracted with the County of Orange (Cities of Brea, Cypress, Dana Point, Laguna Beach, Laguna Hills, Laguna Woods, La Palma, Los Alamitos, Placentia, San Juan Capistrano, Seal Beach, Stanton, Villa Park, Yorba Linda, and all unincorporated areas of the County) elected to prepare a Regional AFH. The 19 entitlement cities and 14 cities contracted with the County of Orange entered into an agreement with MDG Associates, Inc. to complete the Regional AFH. The benefit of a Regional AFH is that it allows for a broader perspective on issues that may be impacting housing choice and/or mobility within the region as well as potential solutions and/or strategies. The Regional AFH provides an overview of laws, regulations, conditions, or other possible obstacles that may affect an individual or a household’s access to housing in a community. It also presents local and regional demographic profiles, assesses the extent of housing needs among specific groups, identifies existing barriers or impediments that may limit housing choice, and proposes actions to overcome those barriers. To prepare the Regional AFH on behalf of all of the cities and the County, MDG Associates conducted a broad array of outreach and engagement through community meetings, focus groups, and public hearings. MDG Associates reached out to tenants, property owners, homeowners, fair housing organizations, civil rights and advocacy organizations, legal services providers, social services providers, housing developers, and industry groups to hear directly about fair housing issues affecting residents of Orange County. Specifically, beginning in October 2024, MDG Associates held meetings with individual stakeholders throughout the County. In January and February 2025, evening community meetings were held in Costa Mesa, La Habra, and Santa Ana. Also in February, MDG Associates held a focus group with a wide array of     City Council 23 – 10 6/3/2025 FY 2025-29 Five-Year Consolidated Plan, FY 2025-26 Annual Action Plan and Budgets for CDBG, HOME, and ESG Programs June 3, 2025 Page 11 5 0 7 3 nonprofit organizations and government officials. Additional presentations and meetings were held with City Councils and various city staff members. Geographically specific community meetings were held across Orange County, including the South, West, Central, and North parts of the County. Additional outreach was conducted for members of protected classes, including the Latino and Vietnamese communities. All community meetings had translation services available if requested in Spanish and Vietnamese. In addition, all meetings were held in locations accessible to people with mobility issues. Next Steps HUD regulations require a 30-day public review and comment period for the draft 2025- 29 Five-Year Consolidated Plan and the Annual Action Plan. On April 28, 2025, the drafts were posted to the City’s webpage and a public notice (Exhibit 7) was published in the Orange County Register, La Opinion, and Nguoi Viet newspapers, that the draft Plans were available for review beginning April 28, 2025, and that two public hearings would be held on May 28, 2025 at the Community Development Commission and June 3, 2025 at the City Council regular meeting. The 30-day public comment period will conclude on May 30, 2025, at 4:00 P.M. FISCAL IMPACT Funds will be budgeted and available in the following grant account (nos. 13518780, 13518782, 13518783, 13518785 and 13018780) upon execution of a grant agreement between the City and HUD and adoption of the FY 2025-26 annual budget.

Consolidated Plan as required to receive federal Community Development Block Grant (CDBG), HOME Investment Partnerships (HOME), and Emergency Shelter Grant (ESG) funds. As required by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) the Consolidated Plan provides a comprehensive assessment of the City’s housing and community development needs and outlines the City’s priorities, objectives, and strategies for the investment of CDBG, HOME, and ESG funds to address these needs over the next five years, beginning July 1, 2025, and ending June 30, 2030. Each year, the City receives CDBG, HOME, and ESG funds through a formula-based allocation from HUD. These funds are awarded to non-profit organizations, for-profit entities, and public agencies to support a variety of activities that align with the City’s Consolidated Plan goals and address the priority needs of low- and moderate-income residents. COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT BLOCK GRANT (CDBG) The CDBG program, established under the Housing and Community Development Act of 1974, is a flexible federal funding source designed to address a wide range of housing and community development needs. HUD evaluates the City’s Consolidated Plan and program performance based on three primary objectives: providing decent housing, creating suitable living environments, and expanding economic opportunities for low- and moderate-income households. To qualify for CDBG funding, each activity must meet one of the following national objectives: -Benefit low- and moderate-income persons; or -Aid in the prevention or elimination of slums and blight; or -Meet other community development needs having a particular urgency (usually the result of a natural disaster). HOME INVESTMENT PARTNERSHIPS (HOME) The HOME program, established under the Cranston-Gonzalez National Affordable Housing Act of 1990, is the largest federal program dedicated to affordable housing development. Designed to increase the supply of safe and affordable housing for low- and moderate-income households, the HOME program is often implemented in collaboration with non-profit housing developers, public agencies, and private entities. Eligible activities supported by HOME funds include new construction, acquisition, and rehabilitation of affordable housing, homebuyer assistance programs, and tenant-based rental assistance. EXHIBIT 1     City Council 23 – 21 6/3/2025 2 EMERGENCY SHELTER GRANT (ESG) The Homeless Emergency Assistance and Rapid Transition to Housing Act of 2009 (HEARTH Act) amended the McKinney-Vento Homeless Assistance Act, significantly revising the former Emergency Shelter Grants Program and renaming it the Emergency Solutions Grants program.

HUD has advised the City to prepare this draft document utilizing the current year annual allocation and include “contingency provision” language detailing how the City will adjust its proposed Plan once the actual allocation amounts become EXHIBIT 1     City Council 23 – 23 6/3/2025 4 known. As such, should the City’s allocation be greater or less than the amount anticipated the difference will be applied equally across all projects. Summary of the objectives and outcomes identified in the Plan needs assessment Overview The 2025-2029 Consolidated Plan is grounded in a comprehensive, data-driven needs assessment and market analysis, combined with insights gathered from residents, community organizations, and other local stakeholders. This approach ensures CDBG, HOME, and ESG funds are directed toward high priority needs that align with the City’s goals. Based on this, the City has identified 10 priority needs, which will be addressed through six goals over the five-year period. These goals establish a clear framework for the allocation of CDBG, HOME, and ESG funds which ensure investments produce meaningful results. Each goal is tied to measurable outcome indicators which allow the City to track progress, assess performance, and evaluate the impact of HUD-funded activities. The following table summarizes the goals, priority needs, and expected five-year outcomes.

During Program Year 2019, the global coronavirus pandemic struck and in 2020, Congress passed the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (CARES). The City received $6,894,836 CDBG-CV and $13,325,845 ESG-CV funds to prevent, prepare for, and respond to the virus in the community. The World Health Organization, based on evidence, has ended pandemic status and the national public health emergency has ended. Together with other federal, state, and local investments, HUD resources allowed the City of Santa Ana and its partners to provide assistance to low and moderate-income individuals and households through community. The City continues to effectively implement its activities and align projects and programs with the City’s overall strategies and goals. A full review of past performance is available in the Consolidated Annual Performance and Evaluation Reports (CAPERs) that can be accessed through the City’s website at https://www.santa-ana.org/?post_type=document&p=96924&preview=true. In summary, as of June 30, 2024, the City provided -Public services to 73,556 individuals -Code enforcement to 22,996 housing units -Economic development grants to 12 start up businesses -Homelessness prevention services to 855 individuals; -Emergency shelter to 387 individuals Summary of citizen participation process and consultation process The Consolidated Plan regulations at 24 CFR Part 91 provide the citizen participation and consultation requirements for the development of the Consolidated Plan. Chief among those requirements is the need to consult with the Continuum of Care (CoC) to address homelessness, Public Housing Authorities (PHA), business leaders, civic leaders, and public or private agencies that address housing, health, social service, victim services, employment, or education needs of low-income individuals and families, homeless individuals and families, youth and/or other persons with special needs. Information supplied by these community stakeholders, together with the data supplied by HUD resulted in a well-informed planning document that reflects the housing and community development needs and priorities for the City of Santa Ana over the next five years. In accordance with the City's Citizen Participation Plan (CPP), residents and stakeholders were able to participate in the development of the 2025-2029 Consolidated Plan through surveys, community meetings, and public hearings. Efforts were made to encourage participation by low- and moderate-income persons, particularly those living in areas where HUD funds are proposed to be used, and by residents of predominantly low- and moderate-income neighborhoods. Efforts were made to encourage the participation of EXHIBIT 1     City Council 23 – 27 6/3/2025 8 minorities and non-English speaking persons, as well as persons with disabilities. The consultation process included representatives of the CoC, PHA, and other specified groups who completed surveys, provided local data, and assisted the City to ensure practical coordination of strategies to maximize impact and to avoid duplication of effort.

To facilitate this consultation, the City solicited feedback through the following methods: -Community Needs Survey (web‐based and paper‐surveys) -Community and stakeholder meetings -Public hearings -Receipt of written or oral comments The input received from these consultations helped establish and inform the objectives and goals described in the Strategic Plan. Provide a concise summary of the jurisdiction’s activities to enhance coordination between public and assisted housing providers and private and governmental health, mental health and service agencies (91.215(I)). The City recognizes the importance of careful coordination and alignment among various service providers to maximize the effectiveness of the CDBG, HOME, and ESG programs. As a result, during the development of the Consolidated Plan, the City consulted with organizations that provide assisted housing, health services, and other community-focused programs. Outreach efforts included surveys, invitations to community meetings, and follow-up interviews where appropriate. Outreach was made to over 100 organizations and agencies including: -Nonprofit services providers, -Affordable and market rate housing developers, -Housing advocates, -Public agencies (such as the school district and Public Housing Authority) -Economic development and employment organizations -Community and neighborhood groups, and -Neighboring cities and communities. The City further recognizes the importance of continued coordination and alignment during the upcoming five‐year planning period with these organizations and agencies and will work to strengthen relationships over the next five years. EXHIBIT 1     City Council 23 – 30 6/3/2025 11 Describe coordination with the Continuum of Care and efforts to address the needs of homeless persons (particularly chronically homeless individuals and families, families with children, veterans, and unaccompanied youth) and persons at risk of homelessness The Orange County Continuum of Care (CoC) is comprised of a network of public, private, faith-based, for-profit, and non-profit service providers who utilize several federal, state, and local resources to provide services for homeless people. The region’s municipalities, including the City of Santa Ana, also provide resources for services that assist the homeless and those at risk of becoming homeless. The non-profit and faith-based community plays a key role in the current CoC system. Hundreds of agencies throughout the region provide programs ranging from feeding the homeless on the street to creating permanent supportive housing opportunities. These services are available to homeless families with children, and single men and women. The non-profit and faith-based community also serves special needs populations, such as victims of domestic violence, veterans, the disabled, and youth. The CoC guides the development of homeless strategies and the implementation of programs to end homelessness throughout the region. The City regularly consults with the CoC to identify needs in the jurisdiction and its objectives to address the needs of different homeless populations, including chronically homeless families and individuals, families with children, veterans, unaccompanied youth, and persons at risk of homelessness. The City continues to coordinate with the CoC to clarify existing needs and objectives and identify opportunities for collaboration during the five-year planning process. Describe consultation with the Continuum(s) of Care that serves the jurisdiction’s area in determining how to allocate ESG funds, develop performance standards and evaluate outcomes, and develop funding, policies and procedures for the administration of HMIS The Orange County CoC consults with jurisdictions receiving ESG funds on an ongoing basis. An ESG collaborative was formed in Orange County and quarterly meetings are held with representatives of the ESG jurisdictions, the Cities of Anaheim, Garden Grove, Santa Ana, and Santa Ana, and the CoC. During the meetings, funding priorities are determined which are consistent with the current Countywide Plan to End Homelessness and the Consolidated Plans of ESG jurisdictions. The Orange County CoC’s performance standards and outcome evaluation methodology is based on data collected from HMIS and Annual Performance Reports (APRs). This information provides the CoC the extent to which each project has resulted in rapid return to permanent housing and the cost of programs. These data elements are reviewed annually.

EXHIBIT 1     City Council 23 – 81 6/3/2025 62 PR-15 Citizen Participation Summary of citizen participation process/Efforts made to broaden citizen participation Summarize citizen participation process and how it impacted goal setting The City of Santa Ana conducted a comprehensive citizen participation process to ensure the 2025-2029 Consolidated Plan reflects community needs and priorities. The public engagement process was designed in accordance with the City’s Citizen Participation Plan (CPP) and HUD regulations (24 CFR 91.105), ensuring residents, local organizations, and community stakeholders had meaningful opportunities to participate in shaping the City's housing and community development strategies. The Community Development Agency led outreach efforts, emphasizing broad public engagement, particularly among low- and moderate-income residents, individuals with disabilities, racial and ethnic minorities, non-English-speaking populations, and public housing residents. The City also actively consulted with local and regional institutions, businesses, developers, non-profit and faith-based organizations, the Continuum of Care (CoC), and philanthropic entities to ensure a coordinated and holistic approach to addressing housing and community development needs. To identify and prioritize community needs, the City developed and distributed a survey to gather input on housing, community, and economic development needs. The survey was available in English, Spanish, and Vietnamese online and in paper format at various public facilities. The survey received 103 responses. A summary of the survey and responses is in Appendix B. In the Fall of 2024, five publicly noticed meetings were held to obtain the views of the community on the City’s housing and community development needs. The first public hearing was held on October 22, 23 and 24, 2024, in the morning afternoon and evening at four different locations throughout the City. A public hearing to adopt the Consolidated Plan and first year Annual Action Plan is scheduled for June 3, 2025, at 5:00 PM, at City Hall. Public notices for public hearings, meetings, the survey, and the 30-day comment period were published in a medium of general circulation in the City. Additionally, the City used social media platforms such as Facebook and Instagram to advertise the opportunities to participate. At each step in the process, the City was careful to ensure that low‐ and moderate‐income residents, members of minority groups, agencies involved in the provision of services to these populations, and others who are directly impacted by the programs and activities supported by the Consolidated Plan programs had the opportunity to be actively involved.

TBD TBD EXHIBIT 1     City Council 23 – 84 6/3/2025 65 Needs Assessment NA-05 Overview Needs Assessment Overview The Consolidated Plan Needs Assessment examines a range of needs, including housing, homelessness, non-homeless special needs, and non-housing community development needs. The housing needs assessment section evaluates household income, tenure (renter or owner), housing cost as a function of household income, disproportionate need amongst racial and ethnic groups, and public housing needs. The homeless needs assessment examines the sheltered and unsheltered homeless population in Orange County to inform the City’s strategy to address homelessness during the next five years. The non-homeless special needs assessment section evaluates the needs of people who are not homeless, and due to various reasons need services. This population includes people who are elderly, frail and elderly, have severe mental illness, including Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD), developmental and physical disabilities, alcohol or other drug addictions, and HIV/AIDS, victims and survivors of human trafficking and domestic violence. Lastly, the non-housing community development needs assessment section discusses the need for public facilities, public infrastructure improvements and public services to support low- and moderate-income residents. Methodology To assess community needs, the City examined data, held community meetings, conducted a survey of residents and regional stakeholders, and consulted with experts and local stakeholders. The Needs Assessment primarily relies on the sources of data which follow: -American Community Survey (ACS) 2020 5-year estimates -Comprehensive Housing Affordability Strategy (CHAS) 2016-2020 -2023 & 2024 Point-In-Time (PIT) Homeless Count The 2020 ACS and CHAS 5-year estimates were the most recent complete datasets available at the time the Consolidated Plan was prepared. Consolidated Plan Survey for Residents and Stakeholders Santa Ana and stakeholders had the opportunity to respond to surveys to rate the level of need for public facilities, infrastructure, public and neighborhood services. The surveys also gathered insights into residents’ internet access and disaster preparedness. Stakeholders include agencies and businesses that work with residents of Santa Ana with EXHIBIT 1     City Council 23 – 85 6/3/2025 66 low- and moderate-incomes, special needs, and those experiencing, or at-risk or experiencing homelessness. Survey results from 103 residents and 40 organizations can be found in the following sections: - Housing facility and service results – NA-10 Housing Needs Assessment, and - Public facility, infrastructure, and service results – NA-50 Non-Housing and Community Development Needs. EXHIBIT 1     City Council 23 – 86 6/3/2025 67 NA-10 Housing Needs Assessment Summary of Housing Needs Santa Ana’s population fell by four percent between 2010 and 2020, decreasing from 324,528 to 310,277 (Table 6). During this same period, the number of households rose by six percent from 74,381 to 79,142 and the median household income increased 32 percent from $54,877to $72,406. Over 66 percent of all households in Santa Ana earn up to 80 percent Area Median Income (AMI). Figure 1 shows how many households are in each income category. Figure 1 – Households Data Source: 2016-2020 CHAS The Number of Households Table (Table 7) categorizes household types in the City by income levels. Small family households consist of two-to-four family members, while large family households have five or more people. Small family households are the most common household type, representing 44 percent of all households in Santa Ana. In this section there are eight tables of data which reference housing problems. Housing problems are defined by HUD as: 1.Lacks complete kitchen facilities: Household lacks a sink with piped water, a range or stove, or a refrigerator. 2.Lacks complete plumbing facilities: Household lacks hot and cold piped water, a flush toilet, and a bathtub or shower. 3.Overcrowding / severe overcrowding: A household is overcrowded if there are more than 1.01 people per room, excluding bathrooms, porches, foyers, halls, or half- EXHIBIT 1     City Council 23 – 87 6/3/2025 68 rooms. A household is considered severely overcrowded if there are more than 1.5 people per room. 4.Cost burden / severe cost burden: A household is considered cost burdened if the household pays more than 30 percent of its total gross income for housing costs. A household is considered severely cost burdened if the household pays more than 50 percent of its total income for housing costs. For renters, housing costs include rent paid by the tenant plus utilities. For owners, housing costs include mortgage, taxes, insurance, and utilities. The Housing Problems Table (Table 8) highlights that a housing cost burden exceeding 30 percent of income is the most common housing problem across renter and owner households, with renter households most impacted by severe housing problems. Approximately 40 percent of the 52,465 households earning at most 80 percent AMI experience a housing cost burden over 30 percent of income. Approximately 73 percent of households earning at most 80 percent AMI with one or more severe housing problem are renters.

The precise number of single-person households that are elderly or low-income and in need of housing assistance is not available. According to the 5-Year ACS Estimate there were 10,496 single-person households in 2020, approximately six percent of which were over 65 years of age. Typically, it is presumed that a household needs housing assistance if they experience one or more housing problem and have incomes of at most 80 percent AMI. Table 10 provides data on the types of households impacted by housing cost burden. “Other” households are defined as nonfamily and nonelderly, which is inclusive of single persons. Elderly households include elderly families with two or more persons age 62 or older, as well as elderly nonfamilies with one or two individuals aged 62 or older. CHAS 2016-2020 estimates find 4,983 elderly and 3,735 “other” households in this income range spend more than 30 percent of their income on housing costs. The majority, 56 percent, of single-person households are renters. Estimate the number and type of families in need of housing assistance who are disabled or victims of domestic violence, dating violence, sexual assault, and stalking. Domestic and dating violence, assault, and stalking are not always reported. According to the 2022 National Crime Victimization Survey, only 53 percent of all domestic violence events and 21 percent of rapes/sexual assaults were reported to the Police. The State of California Department of Justice maintains statistics on domestic violence calls to local law enforcement statewide by jurisdiction (openjustice.doj.ca.gov). In 2022, 1,127 calls related to domestic violence were made from Santa Ana. Of these incidents: -107 involved a weapon -Eight involved a firearm -21 involved a knife or cutting instruments -38 involved other dangerous weapons -40 involved personal weapons (i.e., feet or hands) There were at least 1,127 times during 2022 when a household needed some type of domestic violence services. In households where physical violence occurred, it is possible that at least one member of the household needed to relocate to escape recurring violence. These households may include children. Victims of domestic violence suffer in many ways including economically, which impacts access to safe and affordable permanent housing. There is a need for emergency shelter and affordable permanent housing. What are the most common housing problems? The most common housing problem in the City is overcrowding and severe overcrowding. Analysis of Housing Problems (Table 8) shows this affects 17,065 households with income at or below 80 percent AMI. Of those households, 81 percent rent their homes. The second EXHIBIT 1     City Council 23 – 95 6/3/2025 76 most common housing problem is housing cost burden greater than 30 percent of income which impacts 40 percent of households earning at most 80 percent AMI. Those affected include 12,825 renter and 8,150 owner households. Figure 2 – Most Prevalent Housing Problems Data Source: 2016-2020 CHAS Are any populations/household types more affected than others by these problems? Renter households are most impacted by housing problems. Among these, small related households with low- and moderate- incomes are most impacted by housing cost burden and single family renter households are particularly affected by crowding as detailed in Table 10, Table 11, and Table 12. These households account for 21 percent of those earning at or below 80 percent of the AMI and are the most impacted by crowded living conditions. Approximately 31 percent of households earning up to 80 percent AMI (16,470 households), carry a housing cost burden of 30 to 50 percent of income. More than twice as many renter households in this income range are impacted by this degree of housing cost burden as homeowner households. Across renter and owner households the most impacted types of households are small related, followed by large related, elderly, and “other.” About 41 percent of households (31,173 households), earning at or below 80 percent AMI carry a severe cost burden of over 50 percent of their income. More than twice as many renters are living in these circumstances as owner-occupied households. Within impacted renter households the most impacted types of households are small related, followed by large related, “other”, and elderly. Within impacted owner households the most impacted types of households are small related, followed by elderly, large related, and “other.” EXHIBIT 1     City Council 23 – 96 6/3/2025 77 Describe the characteristics and needs of Low-income individuals and families with children (especially extremely low-income) who are currently housed but are at imminent risk of either residing in shelters or becoming unsheltered 91.205(c)/91.305(c)). Also discuss the needs of formerly homeless families and individuals who are receiving rapid re-housing assistance and are nearing the termination of that assistance Extremely low- and low-income households with one or more housing problem are presumed to be unstably housed, putting them at risk of falling into homelessness. There are 33,345 households in Santa Ana earning up to 50 percent AMI, representing 42 percent of all households. Within this income range individuals and families with children are highly sensitive to adverse events. The greatest concentrations of unstably housed households are among renter households with housing cost burden at or above 50 percent of their gross household income. Among renters experiencing severe housing cost burden small-related households are most impacted, followed by households that are large related, elderly, and “other.” Among owners experiencing severe housing cost burden small-related households are most impacted followed by elderly, large related, and “other.” Households in this income range living in crowded conditions are also unstably housed. This condition impacts a much smaller, but still significant, number of households than housing cost burden does, twenty- five percent of renter households with incomes at or below 50 percent AMI are living in crowded homes. Figure 3 - Households With 30-50% & >50% Cost Burden Data Source: 2016-2020 CHAS As described in the Market Analysis section of the Consolidated Plan, rental housing costs have risen steadily over the past ten years – creating more pressure on extremely low- EXHIBIT 1     City Council 23 – 97 6/3/2025 78 income households. The ACS data shows the median contract rent in Santa Ana increased 32 percent from 2010 to 2020. As rental prices continue to rise throughout Orange County, the pressure on extremely low-income households will continue to increase. Rapid rehousing programs may help homeless individuals and families; however, unless they secure a housing unit is within a subsidized affordable housing development, formerly homeless families and individuals receiving rapid rehousing assistance face considerable uncertainty with respect to their monthly housing costs and ability to remain stably housed once the assistance contract ends. Near the termination of assistance, finding replacement housing is difficult for the same reasons it was difficult before becoming homeless: high housing cost and the possibility of an eviction record. If a jurisdiction provides estimates of the at-risk population(s), it should also include a description of the operational definition of the at-risk group and the methodology used to generate the estimates: The assessment of at-risk populations described in the foregoing paragraphs in this Consolidated Plan is based on ACS and CHAS data using HUD definitions for household types and housing problems, supplemented by available local data for certain groups specified by HUD, such as households with children and victims of domestic violence, dating violence, sexual assault, and stalking. Specify particular housing characteristics that have been linked with instability and an increased risk of homelessness. There are 10,110 renter households who earn up to 50 percent AMI and are severely cost burdened, according to the CHAS data (Table 11). Of these households: -4,530 are small related households with four or fewer members -2,845 are large related households with five or more members -1,445 are elderly households with one or more members over the age of 62 -1,290 are other households These extremely low- and low-income households are considered the most at-risk of becoming homeless. Discussion Of households with incomes at or below 50 percent AMI, 30 percent are cost burdened renters, and 30 percent are overcrowded or severely overcrowded renters (Table 8). Of households with incomes at or below 30 percent AMI, 35 percent are cost burdened renters and 29 percent are overcrowded or severely overcrowded renters (Table 8). These households are presumed to be most at-risk of becoming homeless. To the greatest extent feasible, assistance options could make affordable housing accessible to severely cost burdened and overcrowded renter households earning up to 50 percent AMI. This is one of many ways to prevent homelessness. EXHIBIT 1     City Council 23 – 98 6/3/2025 79 NA-35 Public Housing Introduction The Santa Ana Housing Authority (SAHA) is a Housing Choice Voucher (HCV) only entity. It administers tenant- and project-based and special purpose vouchers. There are 10 project-based voucher sites. Special purpose vouchers include Mainstream Five-Year (MS5) and Veteran Affairs Supportive Housing. Additionally, SAHA administers Foster Youth to Independence and Emergency Housing Vouchers. SAHA’s mission is to “provide affordable housing for the most vulnerable members of our community to use as a platform to obtain self-sufficiency and independence from our assistance.” The tables below reflect the data provided by HUD in the eConPlanning Suite. MS5 data is included in the “Disabled” column in the tables in this section.

Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973 prohibits discrimination based on disability in any program or activity that is conducted by federal agencies or that receives financial assistance from a federal agency. A housing provider may not deny or refuse to sell or rent to a person with a disability and may not impose application or qualification criteria, rental fees, or sales prices and rental or sales terms or conditions that are different than those required of or provided to persons who are not disabled. Further, housing providers may not require people with disabilities to live only on certain floors, or to all live in one section of the housing. Housing providers may not refuse to make repairs and may not limit or deny someone with a disability access to recreational and other public and common use facilities, parking privileges, cleaning or janitorial services or any services that are made available to other residents. When possible, SAHA fulfills reasonable accommodation requests. Accommodations can be requested at any time. The tenant-based HCV waitlist was open from May 2, 2022, to May 31, 2022. This resulted in a 7,500-household long waitlist. Priority was given to U.S. veterans and families that live or work in Santa Ana. As of September 30, 2024, waitlist was down to 6,710 households. Households on the waitlist are mostly families with children (54 percent), elderly households represent 28 percent and disable households represent 18 percent. A households may be both disabled and elderly. EXHIBIT 1     City Council 23 – 100 6/3/2025 81 Most immediate needs of residents of Public Housing and Housing Choice voucher holders. The most pressing need for HCV holders is affordable housing. This is evidenced by the fact that some households have been waiting for housing for almost three years as of the completion of this Consolidated Plan. Beyond the need for affordable housing, resident may also need additional access to service programs such as: - Job training and placement, - Youth employment and educational programs, - Childcare services, - Transportation, and - Medical facilities near affordable housing. How do these needs compare to the housing needs of the population at large? The needs experienced by SAHA residents are similar to the needs of very low-income and low-income households throughout the City of Santa Ana. Discussion The SAHA implements a variety of strategies to address the need for affordable housing. The core strategies include maximizing affordable housing opportunities through continuous program and management improvement and leveraging CDBG and HOME resources. EXHIBIT 1     City Council 23 – 101 6/3/2025 82 NA-40 Homeless Needs Assessment Introduction There are four federally defined categories under which individuals and families are considered homeless: 1)Literally Homeless – An individual or family: a.Living unsheltered on the streets; b.Living in a vehicle or other place not meant for habitation; c.Living in an emergency shelter or transitional housing program, including a motel/hotel paid by a charitable organization or government program; or d.Exiting an institution (resided 90 days or less and previously resided in one of the two items listed above). 2)Imminent Risk of Homelessness – An individual or family imminently losing their housing: a.Housing will be lost within 14 days; and b.Has no subsequent residence; and c.Lacks the resources and support network. 3)Homeless Under other Federal Statutes – An unaccompanied youth under the age of 25 or families with children and youth, who do not otherwise qualify as homeless under this definition, but who do meet all of the following: a.Are defined as homeless under Section 387 of the Runaway and Homeless Youth Act (42 U.S.C. 5732a), Section 637 of the Head Start Act (42 U.S.C. 9832), Section 41403 of the Violence Against Women Act of 1994 (42 U.S.C. 14043e-2), Section 330(h) of the Public Health Service Act (42 U.S.C. 254b(h)), Section 3 of the Food and Nutrition Act of 2008 (7 U.S.C. 2012), Section 17(b) of the Child Nutrition Act of 1966 (42 U.S.C. 1786(b)), or Section 725 of the McKinney-Vento Homeless Assistance Act (42 U.S.C. 11434a); b.Have not had a lease, ownership interest, or occupancy agreement in permanent housing at any time during the 60 days immediately preceding the date of application for homeless assistance; c.Have experienced persistent instability as measured by two or more moves during the 60-day period immediately preceding the date of applying for homeless assistance; and d.Can be expected to continue in such status for an extended period of time because of chronic disabilities, chronic physical health or mental health conditions, substance addiction, histories of domestic violence or childhood abuse (including neglect), the presence of a child or youth with a disability, or two or more barriers to employment, which include the lack of a high school degree or General Education Development (GED), illiteracy, low English EXHIBIT 1     City Council 23 – 102 6/3/2025 83 proficiency, a history of incarceration or detention for criminal activity, and a history of unstable employment. 4)Fleeing or Attempting to flee Domestic Violence – An individual or family: a.Fleeing or attempting to flee domestic violence situation, dating violence, sexual assault, stalking, or other dangerous or life-threatening conditions that relate to violence against the individual or a family member; and b.Has no subsequent residence; and c.Lacks the resources and support network. According to the 2024 Annual Homeless Assessment Report (AHAR) to Congress, during the Point in Time (PIT) Count in January 2024, California had the highest number and rate of unsheltered homeless population in the country. Twenty-eight percent of the nation’s homeless population was reported in California. More than half of all the nation’s homeless individuals are concentrated in three states: California (24 percent), New York (20 percent), and Washington (four percent). The rate of homelessness in California increased three percent from 2023 to 2024, and 35 percent from 2007 to 2024. In Orange County, homelessness is addressed regionally by the Orange County Continuum of Care (CoC), an umbrella organization that brings together government agencies and community-based nonprofit organizations in a coordinated effort to meet the urgent needs of those who have become homeless or are in imminent danger of becoming homeless. The County of Orange Health Care Agency is the collaborative applicant, and 2-1-1 OC is the Homeless Management Information System (HMIS) lead agency. The Orange County CoC conducts a PIT Count, to create a census of unsheltered and sheltered individuals experiencing homelessness. It conducts a sheltered PIT Count annually and an unsheltered PIT Count every-other-year. From 2022 to 2024, in Orange County the number of -homeless residents rose from 5,718 to 7,322 individuals, -unsheltered residents rose from 3,057 to 4,173, and -sheltered residents rose from 2,661 to 3,149. In Santa Ana, from 2022 to 2024, the number of -homeless residents rose from 990 to 1,428, -unsheltered residents rose from 508 to 871, and -sheltered residents rose from 482 to 557. Since 2020, the rate of child homelessness (under the age of 18) decreased by 26 percent from 933 children to 691 children. Homelessness among transition-aged youth (18 – 24) rose 10 percent, while for adults over 24 it increased 10 percent, from 5,765 to 6,323.

Data is provided in Table 18as the “number of persons becoming and exiting homelessness year” and the “number of days that persons experience homelessness”. Estimate the number and type of families in need of housing assistance for families with children and the families of veterans. According to the 2024 PIT Count in Orange County, there were 1,128 people in households with at least one adult and one child, comprised of 948 sheltered and 180 unsheltered people in urgent need of housing assistance. The 2024 PIT Count revealed in Orange County 80 sheltered veterans and 248 unsheltered veterans. It is unclear how many unique families are represented in these numbers. In the universe of homeless individuals, it is not clear how many are families of deceased or estranged veterans. Describe the Nature and Extent of Homelessness by Racial and Ethnic Group. The 2024 PIT Count showed that most people experiencing homelessness identified as White, followed by Hispanic and One or More Race; Hispanic/Latino Only; Black, African EXHIBIT 1     City Council 23 – 105 6/3/2025 86 American, or African; Asian or Asian American; Non-Hispanic and Multiple Races; American Indian, Alaska Native, and Indigenous; Native Hawaiian or Other Pacific Islander; and, Middle Eastern or North African. Describe the Nature and Extent of Unsheltered and Sheltered Homelessness. The 2024 PIT Count shows that on January 24, 2024, throughout Orange County most people experiencing homelessness were unsheltered. Of the 7,322 homeless individuals, 57 percent were unsheltered. Unsheltered chronically, homeless people accounted for 22 percent of all homeless individuals. Among those who were reported as being homeless and unsheltered (4,173 individuals), 49 percent were living with chronic substance abuse; 30 percent faced severe mental health issues; and ten percent had experienced domestic violence. Discussion The January 24, 2024 PIT Count results indicate that approximately 7,322 people were homeless in Orange County on any given night, with 20 percent (1,428 individuals) living in Santa Ana. EXHIBIT 1     City Council 23 – 106 6/3/2025 87 NA-45 Non-Homeless Special Needs Assessment Introduction Special needs populations consist of persons who are not homeless, but due to various reasons they need services and supportive housing. Persons with special needs include the elderly, frail elderly, severely mentally ill, developmentally disabled, physically disabled, persons with alcohol or other drug addictions, persons with HIV/AIDS, and victims of domestic violence. The City of Santa Ana will consider allocating CDBG to public services for special the needs populations indicated, as well as victims of human trafficking and those with Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) or other needs. Describe the characteristics of special needs populations in your community. Elderly and Frail Elderly HUD defines elderly as a person who is 62 years of age or older. A frail elderly person is an elderly person who is unable to perform at least three “activities of daily living” including eating, bathing, grooming, or home management activities. Generally, elderly people have lower incomes than the population at large. Based on 2016-2020 CHAS data of the 24,850 households containing at least one elderly person in Santa Ana, 68 percent, 16790 households, earn less than 80 percent of the AMI and may require public services to continue to live independently. ACS data from the same period shows 11,814 residents of Santa Ana aged 65 and above have a disability. Of those people, 59 percent have ambulatory difficulty, 50 percent have independent living difficulty, and 34 percent have hearing difficulty. Persons with Disabilities HUD defines a disabled person as having a physical or mental impairment that substantially limits one or more major life activity. The main obstacle to independent living for these adults is not only their disability, but also the lack of financial resources, often due to limited employment opportunities. Additionally, persons with disabilities have high health care costs, are dependent on supportive services, and may require accessibility modifications to accommodate their disability. Based on the 2021, 1-year ACS estimate, of the total Civilian Noninstitutionalized Population age 18 and to 64 in Santa Ana, an estimated 5,477 people are employed and have a disability; 699 are unemployed and have a disability; and 6,501 have a disability and are not part of the labor force. Alcohol and Other Drug Addictions & Mental Illness The Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA) is the federally-funded institution established to disseminate information on mental disorders, including data on prevalence. Prevalence data is collected through the National Survey on Drug Use and Health (NSDUH) and is calculated for a two-year period. Unfortunately, the EXHIBIT 1     City Council 23 – 107 6/3/2025 88 pandemic disrupted the method of survey delivery, which has disrupted the data series. The most recent data set for the 2021-2022 period is only available at the state level. Since the pandemic, rates of substance use disorder, mental illness, serious mental illness, and receipt of mental health treatment have increased among Californians ages 18-25 and 26 and over. The younger age group (18-25) shows a higher prevalence of these issues compared to the older group (26+). Any mental illness and serious mental illness do not include developmental, or substance use disorders. Survey results from 2021-2022 show the following. 18-to 25-year-olds -34.35 percent had any mental illness -12.08 percent had serious mental illness -21.56 percent received mental health treatment in the past year -27.24 percent had substance use disorder 26-year-olds and over -20.31 percent had any mental illness -4.66 percent had serious mental illness in the past year -17.08 percent received mental health treatment in the past year -16.58 percent had substance use disorder HIV/AIDS Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) weakens the immune system by destroying important cells that fight disease and infection. Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome (AIDS) is the final stage of HIV. The Center for Disease Control’s (CDC) Atlas Plus program reported 257 new HIV diagnoses during 2022 in Orange County (https://www.cdc.gov/nchhstp/atlas/index.htm, accessed January 2025). New HIV diagnoses were most concentrated among people aged 25-34. For persons living with HIV/AIDS, access to affordable housing, supportive services, and quality health care is important to maintaining their health and well-being. Victims of Domestic Violence Domestic violence, assault, and stalking are not always reported. According to the 2022 National Crime Victimization Survey, only 53 percent of all domestic violence events and 21 percent of rapes/ sexual assaults were reported to the police. Domestic violence includes, but is not limited to, felony or misdemeanor crimes of violence committed by a current or former spouse of the victim or by a person who is cohabitating with or has cohabited with the victim. In 2022, a total of 1,127 calls related to domestic violence were made from Santa Ana (openjustice.doj.ca.gov, accessed November 2024). Of those 107 incidents involved a weapon. EXHIBIT 1     City Council 23 – 108 6/3/2025 89 Those incidents breakdown as follows: -eight were with a firearm; -21 were with a knife or cutting instruments; -38 were with other dangerous weapons; and -40 were with personal weapons. What are the housing and supportive service needs of these populations and how are these needs determined? Supportive services required for special needs populations include case management, medical or psychological counseling and supervision, childcare, transportation, and job training provided for the purpose of facilitating a person’s stability and independence. To determine the level of need and types of services needed by special needs populations, the City conducted a survey, consulted with local service providers, and reviewed ACS data. In housing, accessibility modifications to accommodate persons with mobility disabilities may include, but are not limited to, wider doorways, no-step thresholds, installation of ramps, grab bars, lowered countertops, and accessible hardware. The needs of residents with sensory disabilities are different from those with mobility disabilities. Individuals with hearing disabilities require visual adaptations for such items as the telephone ringer, the doorbell and smoke alarms. Residents who are blind may require tactile marking of changes in floor level and stair edges and braille markings on appliances and controls. People with low vision may require large print markings and displays, contrasting colors to distinguish changes in level or transition from one area to another, proper lighting, and reduced glare from lighting and windows. For persons with special needs, the high cost of living in Orange County makes it difficult to maintain a stable residence. Often these segments of the population rely on support services from various Orange County nonprofit organizations to avoid becoming homeless or institutionalized. Discuss the size and characteristics of the population with HIV/AIDS and their families within the Eligible Metropolitan Statistical Area. According to the CDC, at the end of 2022, 1.2 million people in the United States had HIV, and 35,716 people had been newly diagnosed in 2021 and increased to 37,601 new diagnoses in 2022 (cdc.gov, accessed January 2025). In Orange County CDC data show, the number of persons living with HIV has increased from 6,855 in 2018 to 7,325 in 2022. Of those diagnosed with HIV, 69 percent were in receipt of medical care and 64 percent had reached viral suppression. Viral load is an indicator of health and adherence to medication. A high viral load is indicative of illness. Viral load suppression (less than 200 copies/ml) is suggestive of improved health. EXHIBIT 1     City Council 23 – 109 6/3/2025 90 In 2022, there were 257 new HIV diagnoses in Orange County. People aged 25-34 accounted for 37 percent, the greatest concentration of new cases. Of the newly diagnosed, 89 percent were male of whom most identified racially/ ethnically as Hispanic/ Latino. Discussion In addition to the elderly, frail elderly, severe mentally ill, developmentally disabled, physically disabled, persons with alcohol and other drug addictions, persons with HIV/AIDS, and victims of domestic violence described above, two other subpopulations with special needs in Orange County include victims of human trafficking and individuals with PTSD. Victims of Human Trafficking Human trafficking is a crime that involves the forceful, fraudulent, or coercive methods of entrapping a person, real or perceived, to exploit them for financial gain. The exploitative nature can come in the form of labor services, involuntary servitude, enslavement, debt bondage or commercialized sex acts. Human trafficking is extremely difficult to track; there is no recent or reliable prevalence rate to report. In 2023, in California, the National Human Trafficking Hotline identified 1,128 cases of human trafficking which involved 2,045 victims (https://humantraffickinghotline.org/ accessed January 2025). The most common type of human trafficking reported in California was sex trafficking. The U.S. Department of State Trafficking in Persons Report published in July 2022, reports victims of human trafficking are found in every state in the country and trafficked from every country in the world. Victims of human trafficking in the United States are most frequently trafficked from within the United States, Mexico, and Honduras. Trafficking in Persons reports “Traffickers often target those who experience compounding forms of discrimination (such as discrimination because of one’s racial or ethnic group, gender identity, disability, or sexual orientation), experience violence (such as intimate partner or domestic violence) or interact with government run programs (such as the criminal justice system, runaway and homeless youth services, foster or institution care, and the immigration enforcement system.” Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder The National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH) explains Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) can “develop after exposure to a potentially traumatic event that is beyond a typical stressor” and potential inducing events may include, but are not limited to, “violent personal assaults, natural or human-caused disasters, accidents, combat, and other forms of violence.” Symptoms of PTSD can be debilitating. The U.S. Department of Veteran’s Affairs National Center for PTSD recognizes the disorder impacts populations inside and outside of the military including families, children, and non-combatants. The National Center reports an estimated six percent of the population, eight percent of women and four EXHIBIT 1     City Council 23 – 110 6/3/2025 91 percent of men, will have PTSD at some point in their lives. “Women are more likely to develop PTSD than men in part due to the types of traumatic events that women are more likely to experience – such as sexual assault—compared to men.” Challenges these special needs populations and subpopulations face include low-income and high housing cost. This segment of the population also struggles for a decent quality of life that includes access to necessities, adequate food, clothing, and medical care. Novel Coronavirus (COVID-19) COVID-19 caused a global pandemic. Its widespread impact on the United State began in March 2020. In the ensuing years, lives changed dramatically, from the impact of measures to prevent the spread of the disease – including stay-in-place orders, social distancing, mask wearing and vaccination – to death. The Coronavirus Aid, Relief and Economic Security (CARES) Act allocated funds to respond to the public health emergency through HUD. The City of Santa Ana was awarded $6,894,836 CDBG-CV and $13,325,845 ESG-CV funds to assist low- and moderate-income individuals and families impacted by COVID-19. The national and global public health emergency status was lifted in May 2023; however, the virus is still present and active around the world. NA-50 Non-Housing Community Development Needs Describe the jurisdiction’s need for Public Facilities. Santa Ana continues to invest in new public facilities and the maintenance and improvement of existing facilities. Facilities constructed during the 1070s and 1980s require rehabilitation to meet evolving community needs, modernization of amenities, and compliance with the American with Disabilities Act. CDBG public facility projects that meet CDBG eligibility requirements, align with a Strategic Plan goal, and address a CDBG National Objective will be considered for funding in the five Annual Action Plans. The Strategic Plan includes a goal to improve public facilities. Facilities may require improvement during the next five years include, but are not limited to, parks and recreational and parking facilities and childcare, youth and community centers. How were these needs determined? The need for public facility improvements was determined through community meetings, the Community Needs Survey, stakeholder meetings, the Stakeholder Survey, and review of the City’s Capital Improvement Plan. EXHIBIT 1     City Council 23 – 111 6/3/2025 92 Figure 5 – Accessibility and Condition of Public Facilities and Infrastructure Source: Community Needs Survey Describe the jurisdiction’s need for Public Improvements. Santa Ana works to improve and construct public infrastructure to meet the needs of residents. The Capital Improvement Program includes projects in the areas of street, traffic, utility, drainage and lighting improvements. Eligible projects will be considered for CDBG funding. How were these needs determined? The need for public infrastructure improvements was determined through community meetings, the Community Needs Survey, stakeholder meetings, the Stakeholder survey, and review of the City’s Capital Improvement Plan. Describe the jurisdiction’s need for Public Services. Residents and stakeholders in Santa Ana appreciate the availability and quality of public services and express the view that continued support for services is needed. Approximately 66 percent of households in Santa Ana have income at or below 80 percent AMI. The provision of services at reduced or no cost expands choices available to residents with low- and moderate-incomes. Pursuant to CDBG regulations, only 15 percent of the City’s annual grant allocation and any prior year program income may fund public service-type activities. The City proposes to focus funds on households with lower incomes to establish, improve, and expand access to existing public services, such as services for families with children, youth, workforce development, mental health, and neighborhood clean-ups. EXHIBIT 1     City Council 23 – 112 6/3/2025 93 How were these needs determined? The need for public services was determined through community meetings, the Community Needs Survey, stakeholder meetings, the Stakeholder Survey, and consultation with the Community Development Agency. Figure 6 – Availability and Quality of Social Services Source: Community Needs Survey EXHIBIT 1     City Council 23 – 113 6/3/2025 94 Housing Market Analysis MA-05 Overview Housing Market Analysis Overview This section of the Consolidated Plan evaluates housing market conditions in Santa Ana including housing supply, demand, condition, and cost. The data shows that that are single detached-structures a are most prominent representing 47 percent of all structures. The housing stock is relatively dated, 80 percent of units were constructed before 1980. The data shows the housing market in Santa Ana is relatively tight and many households, especially renters, are experiencing a housing cost burden. From 2020 to 2024 the median value for homes in Santa Ana increased 41 percent, according to the Zillow Home Value Index. ACS data shows median contract rent increased 32 percent over the last 10 years. While CHAS data shows there are enough housing units affordable to people with incomes up to 80 percent AMI the surplus of units is minimal. There are only 652 more units affordable to households with income up to 80 percent AMI than there are households at that income level. There is no assurance as to which unit a household occupies. This situation is not new. For many years monthly rent increased at a faster rate than household income. CHAS data shows 20 percent of households earning at or below 80 percent AMI experience a housing cost burden greater than 50 percent of income. Figure 7 – Change in Median Rent and Income Source: 2016-2020 ACS EXHIBIT 1     City Council 23 – 114 6/3/2025 95 MA-10 Number of Housing Units Introduction According to 2016-2020 ACS data, 47 percent of the City’s housing stock is comprised of single detached-structures. Structures with 20 or more units make up 16 percent, while mobile homes comprise the smallest portion at two percent. According to the 2016-2020 ACS estimates, the gross number of housing units in the city increased by 4,140 from 77,156 in 2015 to 81,296 in 2020. Most rental and ownership housing units in Santa Ana have two or three bedrooms (60 percent). Less than one percent of all units are ownership units that have no-bedroom and four percent of all units are rentals with four or more bedrooms. Table 20 and Table 21 illustrate the number of residential properties in the City by property type, unit size, and tenure.

The City tracks the affordability status of 5,018 affordable housing units, which were constructed, rehabilitated, or supported with HOME, Housing Set-Aside, Housing Bond, or tax credit funds, HCVs and other public sources, according to the City’s 2021-2029 Housing Element. Provide an assessment of units expected to be lost from the affordable housing inventory for any reason, such as expiration of Section 8 contracts. HUD requires the City to analyze federal, state and locally assisted housing units that may be lost from the City’s affordable housing stock. The expiration of affordability restrictions on government assisted rental units is the typical reason that affordable units convert to market rate and are “lost.” Much of the housing at-risk of conversion from affordable housing to market rate housing is predominantly reserved for lower income households. Use restrictions, as defined by state law, means any federal, state, or local statute, regulation, ordinance, or contract that as a condition of receipt of any housing assistance, including a rental subsidy, mortgage subsidy, or mortgage insurance, to an assisted housing development, establishes maximum limitations on tenant income as a condition of eligibility for occupancy. Conversion Risk According to the City’s 2021-2029 Housing Element, there are 500 publicly assisted affordable rental units at risk of converting to market rate units in 2025. Preservation and Replacement Options To maintain the existing affordable housing stock, the City may either preserve the existing assisted units or facilitate the development of new units. Each negotiation to preserve affordable units is unique, as project ownership interests and economic vary and City resources may be insufficient to preserve all units when covenants expire. Depending on the circumstances, different options may be used to preserve or replace the units. Preservation options typically include: 1) transfer of units to nonprofit ownership; 2) providing rental assistance to tenants using other funding sources; and 3) purchasing extended affordability covenants. For replacement, the most direct option is the development of new affordable units with long-term covenants. Does the availability of housing units meet the needs of the population? There is a significant need for additional rental housing units of all sizes affordable to households earning up to 80 percent AMI, especially smaller units such as no-bedroom and one-bedroom units and larger units such as those with four or more bedrooms t. EXHIBIT 1     City Council 23 – 116 6/3/2025 97 Determining the exact number and size of units is challenging, as there is no guarantee regarding the size of the housing unit a household occupy. Describe the need for specific types of housing. ACS data indicates that in 2020 there were 10,496 single-person households in Santa Ana –4,598 renters and 5,898 owners. Table 21 shows 17,504 no-bedroom and one-bedroom units in the City, 15,723 rental, 1,781 owner. The data suggests a potential need for more opportunities to purchase small housing units. CHAS data shows that in 2020 there were 18,110 large family households with more than four family members and 14,427 housing units with four or more bedrooms. This may indicate a potential need for more large units. Table 10 reports cost burden and illustrates the number and approximate size of households with incomes at or below 80 percent AMI living in housing units that are beyond their financial means. Elderly and “other” types include single-person households and large related households include more than four people. In Santa Ana there are -2,298 renter and 2,685 owner elderly households; -2,880 renter and 855 “other” households; and -6,645 renter and 2,105 owner large related households. This data also indicates there may be a need for more opportunities to purchase small housing units and rent large housing units.. Discussion For decades, California’s housing market has been among the most expensive in the country, and those conditions persist today. Not only is renting expensive, but purchasing a home is also largely out of reach. To afford median market rent for a two-bedroom unit in Santa Ana a household must earn $63 per hour or work over 156 hours per week at minimum wage of $16 per hour, which equates to about four full time jobs. These calculations were made using the same method as the National Low Income Housing Coalition in the Out if Reach series and using market rate rent from Zumper. Market rate rents are significantly higher than fair market rents and more accurately reflect the experience low- and moderate-income households are facing. EXHIBIT 1     City Council 23 – 117 6/3/2025 98 Figure 8 – Minimum Wage Affordability Data Source: 2022 Zumper Research & CA Minimum Wage Data EXHIBIT 1     City Council 23 – 118 6/3/2025 99 MA-15 Housing Market Analysis: Cost of Housing Introduction One of the most important factors in evaluating a community’s housing market is the cost of housing and whether the housing is affordable to households who live there or would like to live there. If housing costs are relatively high in comparison to household income, a correspondingly high prevalence of housing cost burden and overcrowding will typically occur. Table 23 indicates the median home value and contract rent (not including utility or other associated costs). These values are self-reported by residents through the ACS Survey and the data reflects the 5-Year Estimate for 2016-2020. Looking to more current housing sales and rental market data it becomes clear the cost of housing is growing rapidly. ACS data shows median contract rent increased 32 percent from 2010 to 2020. In 2020, according to ACS data, median home values in Santa Ana rose 26 percent greater than in 2010, during the mortgage-backed securities housing foreclosure crisis. According to the Zillow home value index, value increased 41 percent from $594,064 in November 2020 to $834,377 in November 2024. Figure 9 - Median Home Value Data Source: 2021-2023 Zillow Home Value Index Research Table 25 indicates the number of units currently affordable to households at different levels of income. It is important to note that simply because a unit is affordable to residents at that income level, it does not necessarily mean that a household at that income level is occupying the unit.

CHAS data indicates the number of units affordable to each income group, from below 30 percent AMI to 100 percent AMI. The data shows there are more units affordable to households at each income level than there are households. The number of extra units declines with household incomes. According to the data there are 20 more units affordable to households with incomes at or below 30 percent AMI and 248 units affordable to households with incomes at or below 50 percent AMI. Determining the number of additional affordable housing units needed to eliminate or significantly reduce cost burden is complex. A key challenge is that households of a particular income level do not always occupy a unit that aligns with their income level, even when such units are available in the open marketplace. This is evident in the data, which shows there are enough units affordable to all households, still 40 percent of households earning up to 80 percent AMI experience a housing cost burden spending more than 30 percent of their income on housing. Figure 10 - Units Affordable to Households By Income Range Data Source: 2016-2020 CHAS Data EXHIBIT 1     City Council 23 – 121 6/3/2025 102 How is affordability of housing likely to change considering changes to home values and/or rents? Rental housing costs have increased steadily over the past ten years – creating more pressure on extremely low-income households. Median market rate rents exceed the Fair Market Rents for Orange County and represent a significant burden for low- and moderate- income households struggling to remain housed. Similarly, according to home value data supplied by Zillow, median home sales increased 41 percent from $594,064 in 2020 to $834,377 in 2024. Based on this information and barring significant regional and national changes in economic conditions, the price of housing in Santa Ana is forecast to continue increasing during the period of the 2025-2029 Consolidated Plan. How do HOME rents / Fair Market Rent compare to Area Median Rent? How might this impact your strategy to produce or preserve affordable housing? In 2022 there was significant variation in low HOME, fair market, market rate, and median contract rents. This variance makes it difficult to identify viable affordable housing projects to support and reduces the number of affordable housing units that become available. Figure 11 - Rent Differentials Data Source: 2022HOME Rates, 2016-2020 5—estimates ACS, 2022Zumper Research Discussion Economic expansion over the last decade and a lag in production of new housing units in Southern California have created a housing economy that is overburdened. Homeownership is out of reach to many Santa Ana households and a single person earning minimum wage cannot reasonably afford a two-bedroom rental apartment. A household would need to earn about $177,840 annually to reasonably afford a $730,205 home, which was the median home value in Santa Ana reported November 2022 per the Zillow Home EXHIBIT 1     City Council 23 – 122 6/3/2025 103 Value Index. The median household income in Santa Ana in 2022 was less than half that, $84,210. A household would need to earn about $116,000 annually to afford a two-bedroom rental in the City. A full-time minimum wage employee will gross approximately $30,000 annually.

EXHIBIT 1     City Council 23 – 123 6/3/2025 104 MA-20 Housing Market Analysis: Condition of Housing – 91.210(a) Introduction Assessing the age and physical condition of housing in Santa Ana forms the basis of strategies to maintain and improve housing quality for low- and moderate-income residents. For this assessment, the ACS defines a “selected condition” as owner- or renter- occupied housing units with at least one of the following conditions: 1) lacking complete plumbing facilities; 2) lacking complete kitchen facilities; 3) more than one occupant per room; and 4) selected monthly housing costs greater than 30 percent of household income. Approximately half of both renter- and owner-occupied units have one or two selected conditions. Definitions Substandard housing is housing that does not meet the minimum standards contained in the State Housing Code (i.e., does not provide shelter, endangers health, safety or well- being of occupants). A substandard condition is one that adversely affects habitability of the housing unit. As defined by California Health and Safety Code, a substandard condition exists to the extent that it endangers the health and safety of its occupants or the public. Such conditions include: - Inadequate sanitation - Structural hazards - Any nuisance that endangers the health and safety of the occupants or the public - All substandard plumbing, wiring, and/or mechanical equipment, unless it conformed to all applicable laws in effect at the time of installation and has been maintained in a good and safe condition - Faulty weather protection - The use of construction materials not allowed or approved by the health and safety code - Fire, health and safety hazards (as determined by the appropriate fire or health official) - Lack of, or inadequate fire-resistive construction or fire-extinguishing systems as required by the health and safety code, unless the construction and/or systems conformed to all applicable laws in effect at the time of construction and/or installation and adequately maintained - Inadequate structural resistance to horizontal forces - Buildings or portions thereof occupied for living, sleeping, cooking, or dining purposes that were not designed or intended to be used for such occupancies EXHIBIT 1     City Council 23 – 124 6/3/2025 105 -Inadequate maintenance that causes a building or any portion thereof to be declared unsafe Standard housing condition in Santa Ana is defined as housing that meets the minimum standards of the State Housing Code. For the purposes of the CDBG program, a unit in substandard condition is considered suitable for rehabilitation provided the unit is structurally sound, and the cost of rehabilitation is considered economically warranted.

Housing over 30 years of age can be presumed to need some form of major rehabilitation, such as roof replacement, foundation work and plumbing systems. Housing over 20 years of age will generally exhibit deficiencies in terms of paint, weatherization, heating/air-conditioning systems, hot water heaters and finish plumbing fixtures. Housing values in Santa Ana have increased significantly over a relatively short period of time. Longtime homeowners, especially the elderly and disabled, are more likely to have fixed and limited incomes and may have difficulty maintaining their homes. The housing stock in Santa Ana is dated; 80 percent of housing units were constructed before 1980 according to 2016-2020 CHAS data. About 15 percent of owner- and renter- occupied housing in Santa Ana was built 30 to 40 years ago between 1980 and 1999. There are 24,850 households with at least one member over the age of 62 and 16,790 of whom have household incomes at or below 80 percent AMI, according to 2016-2020 CHAS data. There are approximately 12,148 people aged 18 to 64 with disabilities, according to 2016- 2020, ACS 5-Year estimates. These households may be presumed to have fixed incomes. It is reasonable to anticipate a significant number of housing units in need of repair and a significant number of households will need financial assistance to complete those repairs. Estimated Number of Housing Units Occupied by Low- or Moderate-Income Families with LBP Hazards Any housing built before 1978 may contain lead-based paint. If ingested, lead may cause severe damage to young children including decreased growth, learning disabilities, impaired hearing, hyperactivity, nerve and brain damage. Lead attacks the central nervous system, the neurological system, and can cause brain damage, IQ reduction, learning disabilities, decreased attention span, hyperactivity, growth inhibition, comas, seizures, and in some cases, death. Fetuses may also experience significant adverse effects through prenatal exposure. Children are more susceptible to the effects of lead because their EXHIBIT 1     City Council 23 – 126 6/3/2025 107 growing bodies absorb more lead, and young children often put their hands and other objects in their mouths. Most children do not have any symptoms, even if a blood test shows that they have an elevated blood lead level. If a child does have symptoms, the symptoms may be mistaken for the flu or other illnesses. Most of the housing stock in Santa Ana was built before 1979 and is presumed to contain lead paint. The 2016-2020 CHAS data shows 7,825 low- and moderate-income renter households with children under the age of six were living in housing constructed before 1980, and 2,905 owner-occupied households meet the same conditions. Number of Children with Elevated Blood Levels of Lead The State of California mandates lead screening for all children who participate in publicly funded health programs. In California, screening typically occurs at ages one and two years. A blood level of 10 µg/dL or higher was previously referred to as an “elevated blood level (EBL).” However, as it is now recognized there is no safe level of lead, and adverse effects occur at levels below 10 µg/dL, an “elevated” blood lead level is no longer defined at a specific cut-off point. Of Orange County children under the age of six whose blood lead level has been fully tested 1.46 percent have levels greater than 3.5 mcg/Dl. Discussion Preservation of the physical and functional integrity of existing housing units occupied by low- and moderate-income households is a cost-effective way to invest limited resources to retain existing housing units already affordable to low- and moderate-income households in the community. Many different types of housing services are needed. As required by HUD’s Lead Safe Housing Rule, the City’s housing rehabilitation programs will include appropriate safety measures such as testing and abatement for projects involving units constructed prior to 1978. EXHIBIT 1     City Council 23 – 127 6/3/2025 108 MA-25 Public and Assisted Housing Introduction As indicated in section NA-35, SAHA administers HUDs Housing Choice Vouchers (HCV).

The SAHA administers the Family Self Sufficiency (FSS) program. This is a voulntary program available to families in recipet of a HCV program to households become economic independent through financial literacy. The Housing Authority also support a resident adviosry board. EXHIBIT 1     City Council 23 – 128 6/3/2025 109 MA-30 Homeless Facilities and Services Introduction Regionally, there are numerous facilities and services to support residents at-risk of becoming homeless and experiencing homelessness. These include a range of emergency shelters, transitional shelters, and permanent supportive housing options. HUD uses the following definitions for these three facility types: -Emergency Shelter (ES): Any facility with the primary purpose of providing a temporary shelter for the homeless in general or for specific populations of the homeless and which does not require occupants to sign leases or occupancy agreements. -Transitional Housing: Transitional housing (TH) is designed to provide homeless individuals and families with interim stability and support to successfully move to and maintain permanent housing. Transitional housing may be used to cover the costs of up to 24 months of housing with accompanying supportive services. Program participants must have a lease (or sublease) or occupancy agreement in place when residing in transitional housing. -Rapid Re-Housing (RRH) is designed to quickly move individuals and families out of homelessness and into permanent housing through the provision of up to 24 months of rental assistance and supportive services. -Permanent Supportive Housing: Permanent supportive housing (PSH) is defined as community-based housing paired with supportive services to serve households in which at least one member has a disability. Housing does not have a designated length of stay in which formerly homeless individuals and families live as independently as possible. Under PSH, a program participant must be the tenant on a lease (or sublease) for an initial term of at least one year that is renewable and is terminable only for cause.

These programs provide clients with employment assistance, discounted food, medical care, childcare, and cash payments to meet basic needs, such as housing and transportation. The California Work Opportunities for Kids (CalWORKs) program provides financial assistance and Welfare-to-Work services to California families with little to no cash. Through this program these families may be eligible to receive immediate short-term help with housing, food, utilities, clothing, or medical care. Childcare is also available through this program. CalFresh, formerly the Food Stamp Program, is a nutritional assistance program that provides Electronic Benefit Transfer Cards to people receiving public assistance to purchase food and other essential items. The Medi-Cal program provides health coverage for people with low-income and limited ability to pay for health coverage, including seniors, those with disabilities, young adults and children, pregnant women, persons in a skilled nursing or intermediate care home, and persons in the Breast and Cervical Cancer Treatment Program (BCCTP). People receiving federally-funded cash assistance programs, such as CalWORKs (a state implementation of the federal Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF) program), the State Supplementation Program (SSP) (a state supplement to the federal Supplemental Security Income (SSI) program), foster care, adoption assistance, certain refugee assistance programs, or In-Home Supportive Services (IHSS), are also eligible. CDBG, HOME, and ESG Funded Activities Congress designed the CDBG programs to serve low-income people, some of which may meet the federal poverty definition. The City of Santa Ana received funding to run CDBG, HOME, and ESG programs. At least 70 percent of all CDBG funds must be used for activities that are considered under program rules to benefit low- and moderate-income persons. Additionally, every CDBG activity must meet one of three national objectives: benefit low- and moderate-income persons (at least 51 percent of the beneficiaries must be low- and moderate-income); address slums or blight; or meet a particularly urgent community development need. CDBG programs assist the homeless and those at-risk-of homelessness directly and indirectly. Under the HOME program, households must earn no more than 80 percent of the AMI, adjusted for household size, to be eligible for assistance. Furthermore, 90 percent of the EXHIBIT 1     City Council 23 – 130 6/3/2025 111 allocation that is invested in affordable rental housing must be directed to assist households earning no more than 60 percent AMI. The Emergency Solutions Grant (ESG) program provides homeless persons with basic shelter and essential supportive services. It can assist with the operational costs of the shelter facility, and for the administration of the grant. ESG also provides short-term homeless prevention assistance to persons at imminent risk of losing their own housing due to eviction, foreclosure, or utility shutoffs. List and describe services and facilities that meet the needs of homeless persons, particularly chronically homeless individuals and families, families with children, veterans and their families, and unaccompanied youth. If the services and facilities are listed on screen SP-40 Institutional Delivery Structure or screen MA-35 Special Needs Facilities and Services, describe how these facilities and services specifically address the needs of these populations.

The City will consider allocating CDBG public service funding to programs that provide services to special needs populations, including but not limited to those serving the elderly, frail elderly, people with disabilities including mental, physical, and alcohol or substance abuse, PTSD, HIV/AIDS, veterans, and survivors and victims of domestic violence and human trafficking or other needs. Elderly is defined under the CDBG program as a person who is aged 62 and older. A frail elderly person is an elderly person who is unable to independently perform at least three “activities of daily living” including eating, bathing, grooming or home management activities. Based on 2016-2020 CHAS data, of the 24,850 households containing at least one elderly person in Santa Ana, 16,790 households, earn up to 80 percent of the AMI and may require public services to continue to live independently. ACS data from the same period shows 11,814 residents of Santa Ana aged 65 and older have a disability. Of those people, 59 percent have independent living difficulty, 50 percent have hearing difficulty, and 34 percent have hearing difficulty. People with disabilities defined as having a physical or mental impairment that substantially limits one or more major life activities, generally rely on supportive services to perform activities of daily living. In Santa Ana, the Civilian Noninstitutionalized Population aged 18 to 64 includes 213,771 individuals, an estimated 5.7 percent experiencing a disability (ACS, 5-year estimates). Among those with disabilities: -44 percent have ambulatory difficulty; -41 percent have cognitive impairments; -37 percent have independent living difficulties; -24 percent have a vision difficulty; -19 percent a hearing impairment; and -19 percent have difficulty with self-care. Drug abuse or substance abuse is defined as the use of chemical substances that lead to an increased risk of problems and an inability to control the use of the substance. Substance abuse can be indicative of addiction disorder and may stem from physical and mental health issues. SAMHSA conducted the National Survey on Drug Use and Health and found in California the prevalence of substance use disorder over the last year among the population over the age of 11 was 8.27 percent in 2013-2014 and was 17.12 percent in 2021-2022. EXHIBIT 1     City Council 23 – 133 6/3/2025 114 HIV is a virus that weakens the immune system by destroying important cells that fight diseases and infection. Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome is the final stage of HIV. The Center for Disease Control’s (CDC) Atlas Plus program reported an estimated 7,325 persons living in Orange County with HIV disease at the end of 2022. Of that number, 257 had been newly diagnosed during that year (https://www.cdc.gov/nchhstp/atlas/index.htm, accessed January 2025). New HIV diagnoses were most concentrated among those aged 25 to 34. Domestic violence includes, but is not limited to, felony or misdemeanor crimes of violence committed by a current or former spouse of the victim or by a person who is cohabitating with or has cohabited with the victim. In 2022, 1,127 calls related to domestic violence were made from Santa Ana (openjustice.doj.ca.gov, accessed November 2024). Of these domestic incidents, 107 involved a weapon and 1,020 did not. Human trafficking is a crime that involves the forceful, fraudulent, or coercive methods of entrapping a person, real or perceived, to exploit them for financial gain. The exploitative nature can come in the form of labor services, involuntary servitude, enslavement, debt bondage or commercial sex acts. Human trafficking is extremely difficult to track; there is no recent or reliable prevalence rate to report. In 2023, in California, the National Human Trafficking Hotline identified 1,128 cases of human trafficking, which involved 2,045 victims (https://humantraffickinghotline.org/ accessed January 2025). The most common type of human trafficking reported in California was sex trafficking The U.S. Department of State Trafficking in Persons Report published in July 2022, reports victims of human trafficking are found in every state in the country and trafficked from every country in the world. Victims of human trafficking in the United States are most frequently trafficked from within the United States, Mexico, and Honduras. The National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH) explains PTSD can “develop after exposure to a potentially traumatic event that is beyond a typical stressor” and potential inducing events may include, but are not limited to, “violent personal assaults, natural or human- caused disasters, accidents, combat, and other forms of violence.” Symptoms of PTSD can be debilitating. The U.S. Department of Veteran’s Affairs National Center for PTSD reports an estimated six percent of the population, eight percent of women and four percent of men, will have PTSD at some point in their lives. Including the elderly, frail elderly, persons with disabilities (mental, physical, developmental), persons with alcohol or other drug addictions, persons with HIV/AIDS and their families, public housing residents and any other categories the jurisdiction may specify, and describe their supportive housing needs. To determine the level of need and types of services needed by special needs populations, the City conducted the Community Needs Survey, consulted with local service providers, and reviewed data from the ACS, CHAS, CDC, State of California Department of Justice, EXHIBIT 1     City Council 23 – 134 6/3/2025 115 U.S. Department of State, and NIMH. Supportive services required for special needs populations include case management, medical or psychological counseling and supervision, childcare, transportation, and job training for the purpose of facilitating a person’s stability and independence. In housing, accessibility modifications to accommodate persons with mobility disabilities may include, but are not limited to, wider doorways, no step thresholds, installation of ramps, grab bars, lowered countertops, and accessible hardware. The needs of residents with sensory disabilities are different from those with mobility disabilities. Individuals with hearing disabilities require visual adaptations for such items as the telephone ringer, the doorbell and smoke alarms. Residents who are blind may require tactile marking of changes in floor level and stair edges and braille markings on appliances and controls. People with low vision may require large print markings and displays, contrasting colors to distinguish changes in level or transition from one area to another, proper lighting, and reduced glare from lighting and windows. Describe programs for ensuring that persons returning from mental and physical health institutions receive appropriate supportive housing A lack of supportive housing combined with inadequate discharge planning and coordination contributes to homelessness when individuals are released from public institutions or public systems of care without having access to appropriate housing options. Coordinated discharge planning is considered a best practice for those exiting foster care, healthcare, mental health treatment, and correctional facilities. The state mandates discharge planning policy for these systems to help ensure a smoother transition into stable housing. For entitlement/consortia grantees: Specify the activities that the jurisdiction plans to undertake during the next year to address the housing and supportive services needs identified in accordance with 91.215(e) with respect to persons who are not homeless but have other special needs. Link to one-year goals. Santa Ana identified access to and supply of public services as a priority need in the City. It set the goal of providing access to and supply of public services Work with local and regional nonprofits and service providers to ensure the provision of critical services and activities to low- and moderate-income residents and special needs populations throughout the City. During the first year of this Consolidated Plan cycle the City will allocate $628,527 to public services activities which it anticipates will benefit approximately 1,480 households with low- and moderate-income. EXHIBIT 1     City Council 23 – 135 6/3/2025 116 MA-40 Barriers to Affordable Housing Negative Effects of Public Policies on Affordable Housing and Residential Investment A barrier to affordable housing is a public policy or nongovernmental condition that constrains the development or rehabilitation of affordable housing, such as land use controls, property taxes, state prevailing wage requirements, environmental protection, cost of land and availability of monetary resources. Barriers to affordable housing differ from impediments to fair housing choice in that barriers are legally permissible, whereas impediments to fair housing choice are typically unlawful. The City’s 2021-2029 Housing Element includes an identification and prioritization of significant contributing factors that impede fair housing and/or result in disproportionate housing needs. Through discussions with stakeholders and fair housing advocates, community feedback, and the assessment of fair housing included in the Housing Element, the City identified the following fair housing issues: -Displacement risk -Lack of safe and sanitary housing -Housing overcrowding -Low household incomes -Exposure to environmental hazards -Lack of quality education and job training The primary factor contributing to these housing issues is the limited availability of resources to subsidize housing development to the point that units are affordable to low- and moderate-income households. The elimination of local Redevelopment Agencies by the State of California resulted in the loss of a crucial resource for the development and preservation of affordable housing. This was the most significant public policy change impacting affordable housing and residential investment. While there are mechanisms whereby certain affordable housing assets tied to the former Redevelopment Agencies may be utilized today, these resources are finite and scarce. EXHIBIT 1     City Council 23 – 136 6/3/2025 117 MA-45 Non-Housing Community Development Assets Introduction During the implementation of the 2025-2029 Strategic Plan, the City will use CDBG funds to address these needs and provide a suitable living environment for low- and moderate- income people.

According to 2020 Longitudinal Employer Household Dynamics (LEHD) data, the top four major private employment sectors by number of jobs were Education and Health Care Services (28,872 jobs), Public Administration (24,234 jobs), Manufacturing (18,813 jobs), Professional, Scientific, and Management (13,797 jobs). Figure 13 - Top Industry Sectors By Jobs Data Source:ACS 2016-20205-Year Estimates, 2020 Longitudinal Employer and Household Dynamics Describe the workforce and infrastructure needs of the business community The business community in Santa Ana relies largely on a skilled and educated workforce, starting with the Santa Ana Unified School District (SAUSD) and over 40 nearby colleges and universities and continuing with City and County employers. Santa Ana is the Orange EXHIBIT 1     City Council 23 – 139 6/3/2025 120 County seat. Employers across the top sectors, and especially those that are a destination location or part of a larger logistics chain such as manufacturing, depend on well- functioning roads and transportation system and amenities. Describe any major changes that may have an economic impact, such as planned local or regional public or private sector investments or initiatives that have affected or may affect job and business growth opportunities during the planning period. Describe any needs for workforce development, business support or infrastructure these changes may create. Santa Ana continues to be directly impacted by the Orange County and metro-region’s economic conditions and changes. Three primary trends that are impacting the region’s economy are as follows: 1.Technological advances, such as social media, e-commerce, and automation, are currently disrupting many traditional industries. 2.A surging housing market representing tremendous economic growth while simultaneously creating affordability concerns for many residents. 3.Near record-low unemployment rates and significant employment growth in traditional and emerging industry sectors. How do the skills and education of the current workforce correspond to employment opportunities in the jurisdiction? An estimated 41 percent of Santa Ana’s population aged 18-64 has some post-secondary education, 26 percent of whom have some college or an Associate degree. Generally, the skills and education of the current workforce correspond to the employment opportunities in Santa Ana. Table 35 indicates that the number of workers exceeds the available jobs in the following industry sectors: Agriculture, Mining, Oil & Gas, Arts, Entertainment, Accommodations, Construction, Information, Manufacturing, Other Services, Professional, Scientific, Management, Retail Trade, and Transportation and Warehousing. Most. Additionally, most of the working population in Santa Ana travels less than 30 minutes to work. Describe any current workforce training initiatives, including those supported by Workforce Investment Boards, community colleges and other organizations. Describe how these efforts will support the jurisdiction's Consolidated Plan. There are many workforce training initiatives available to qualified Santa Ana residents. The Orange County Workforce Development Board (OCWDB) together with the County Board of Supervisors oversees regional economic development activities and programs, including OC Workforce Solutions. EXHIBIT 1     City Council 23 – 140 6/3/2025 121 OC Workforce Solutions is part of the nationwide system of American Job Centers Workforce Centers. Orange County Workforce Solutions encompasses core programs services for both job seekers and businesses at no cost. OC Workforce Solutions helps residents with career services, vocational training, job search, referrals, childcare and transportation assistance. OC Workforce Solutions partners with local community colleges, nonprofits, educators and the private sector to help assist and guide its programs to ensure a strong job pipeline where employer needs and employee skills match up. The City’s Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act (WIOA) Youth funded program provides a range of services to young adults including career guidance, educational attainment support, skills training, and career pathways or enrollment in post-secondary education. Orange Workforce Alliance is a regional planning unit that collaborates with local workforce boards and partners to develop and deploy innovative strategies that meet current and emerging labor gaps for employers. The Senior Community Service Employment Program of Orange County is a program that trains, retains and prepares low-income workers, aged 55 and older, for entry or reentry into the workforce. Cal State Fullerton hosts the Orange County/ Inland Empire Small Business Development Center (SBDC), which focuses on assisting businesses to grow and thrive through a blend of training and technical assistance. Services include training, access to resources, and one- on-one consulting services related to business development and operations. The Santa Ana Chamber of Commerce, Santa Ana Business Council and Downtown Business Inc. represent and support businesses and entrepreneurs throughout the City via training, coordinated events and advocacy. The Santa Ana Chamber provides training with funding via the State’s Employment Training Panel. This includes a range of continuing education courses for businesses to provide to employees focused on quality management and business skills. Santa Ana College’s Career and Technical Education (CTE) programs include 35 areas of study with offerings totaling 59 degree options and 101 certificates. All of the CTE programs are developed and designed to meet the needs of the local labor market. The Orange County Community Foundation’s OC Workforce Development Initiative leverages relationships between academia and industry leaders to create a pipeline of qualified candidates for in-demand middle-skills jobs. It has granted over $1.6 million to seven collaborative projects, including initiatives focused on helping graduating high school seniors enrolling in community colleges, disconnected youth seeking additional training, and underemployed young adults seeking career advancement. EXHIBIT 1     City Council 23 – 141 6/3/2025 122 Workforce development programs represent a significant opportunity for Orange County to strengthen its labor market and competitive advantages and improve economic equity. These programs have fewer barriers to entry than four-year college degrees and are thus more accessible to lower-income residents, including those in Disinvested Communities, and are a proven bridge to sustainable, gainful employment. Does your jurisdiction participate in a Comprehensive Economic Development Strategy (CEDS)? Yes If so, what economic development initiatives are you undertaking that may be coordinated with the Consolidated Plan? If not, describe other local/regional plans or initiatives that impact economic growth. The City participates in the preparation of the Orange County CEDS. The process is led by the OCWDB. The most recent CEDS covers the period 2024 to 2029 and establishes six goals. Goal number two is to “focus on residents living in disinvested communities.” Disinvested communities are the top 25 percent of Census Tracts in Orange County based on the economic, social, and environmental metrics of the CalEnviroScreen. In Santa Ana, 11 disinvested areas have been identified. Low- and moderate-income residents of these areas may qualify for public service, housing and homeless assistance programs supported with CDGB, HOME, and ESG funds. Discussion In the spring of 2020, unemployment rates in the United States reached the highest levels since the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) began recording this data. According to the BLS, national unemployment rates reached 23.5 percent in May 2020. Unemployment rates remained at historically high levels for almost six months. As of May 2024, unemployment rates had declined to 4.6 percent in Santa Ana and 4.5 percent in Orange County. In 2019, prior to the pandemic, the unemployment rate in Santa Ana was 3.0 percent and 4.5 percent in Orange County. EXHIBIT 1     City Council 23 – 142 6/3/2025 123 MA-50 Needs and Market Analysis Discussion Are there areas where households with multiple housing problems are concentrated? (include a definition of “concentration”) Concentrations of households with housing problems are defined as ten percent over the rate at which severe housing problems occur throughout the City as a whole, based on CHAS 2016-2020 data. Citywide, 21 percent of households have one or more severe housing problem, thus the threshold for concentration is 31 percent. Map 4 illustrates areas throughout the City where a concentration of households have severe housing problems. Are there any areas in the jurisdiction where racial or ethnic minorities or low- income families are concentrated? (include a definition of “concentration”) Low-income is recognized as up to 50 percent AMI. Concentrations are defined as areas where these populations exceed the citywide rate by at least ten percent. Citywide, 46 percent of households have low incomes, so the threshold is 56 percent. Map 5 illustrates areas throughout the City where a concentration of households have low incomes. Ther are some areas of the City where concentration of severe housing problems and low income intersect. Pursuant to the Interim Final Rule: Affirmatively Furthering Fair Housing Revisions Federal Register Volume 90, No. 40 – March 3, 2025 – Pages 11020-11025, HUD reconsidered the racial or ethnic minority analysis. The Interim Final Rule, effective April 2, 2025, removed this requirement formerly stated at 24 CFR 91.205(b)(2).

There is a high frequency of housing cost burden in these areas. Are there any community assets in these areas/neighborhoods? According to the City’s 2021-2029 Housing Element, Santa Ana residents tend to live in closer proximity to jobs and have better access to those jobs through transit connections when compared to the county as a whole. Are there other strategic opportunities in any of these areas? There are no readily apparent strategic opportunities to be addressed with CDBG, HOME, or ESG funds specific to any of these neighborhoods. EXHIBIT 1     City Council 23 – 146 6/3/2025 127 MA-60 Broadband Needs Describe the need for broadband wiring and connections for households, including low- and moderate-income households and neighborhoods. All residences and small businesses in Santa Ana have access to fixed and mobile broadband. Internet Service Providers (ISP) self-report to the Federal Communications Commission on broadband availability throughout the county. Fixed broadband goes to homes and small businesses using fiber, cable, DSL, satellite, and fixed wireless technology. Mobile broadband is stationary coverage outdoors and mobile in-vehicle coverage. The FCC National Broadband data shows, as of June 2023, fixed internet access is available at six different download/ upload speeds ranging from 0.2/0.2 megabits per second (Mbps) to 1,000/100 Mbps and mobile access is available at 4G 5/1 Mbps, 5G-NR 7/1and 35/3 Mbps. The FCC’s Affordable Connective Plan, offered financial assistance to help households with low-income afford access to the internet has been discontinued. This program was available to new applicants from 2021 through February 2024. As of December 2023 35,509, Sant a Ana households subscribed to this program. The state offers the California LifeLine program that provides discounted home and cell phone services to eligible households. A discounted phone line may defray household costs, reducing the impact of the cost of an internet service provider. A high level of need for affordable broadband is indicated. By far most residents who responded to the community needs survey has access to reliable home internet as shown in the graph below. Figure 14 – Community Need For Internet Reliability Source: Community Needs Survey Describe the need for increased competition by having more than one broadband Internet service provider serve the jurisdiction. According to the FCC there are four active fixed internet providers in Santa Ana. Charter Communications, Hughes Network Systems, LLC, Viasat, Inc., and Space Exploration Technologies Corp. that reach at least 80 percent of residences. There are four active mobile internet providers. The main mobile internet providers are Verizon Communications, Inc., T-Mobile USA, Inc., and AT&T Inc. EXHIBIT 1     City Council 23 – 147 6/3/2025 128 MA-65 Hazard Mitigation Describe the jurisdiction’s increased natural hazard risks associated with climate change. The Cit of Santa Ana prepared a Hazard Mitigation Plan in 2022. That process found the City faces six main hazards that are considered a likely occurrence. Those hazards are earthquake, flood, climate change, drought, extreme heat, and epidemic/Pandemic/Vector- Borne Diseases. Describe the vulnerability of housing occupied by low- and moderate-income households to these risks. Low- and moderate-income residents and special needs populations are especially vulnerable to the risks of climate-related hazards. The residences of low- and moderate- income households are more often in worse condition and thus are more susceptible to external weather conditions such as extreme heat. Likewise, elderly residents are at a greater risk during extreme weather events such as extreme heat events. Over 40percent of resident who responded to the community needs survey identified as extremely or somewhat prepared for a disaster, the remaining population feels unprepared to some degree. Figure 15 – Community Need For Disaster Preparedness Source: Community Needs Survey EXHIBIT 1     City Council 23 – 148 6/3/2025 129 Strategic Plan SP-05 Overview The Strategic Plan is a guide for the City of Santa Ana to establish housing, community, and economic development priorities, strategies, and goals for its investment of Community Development Block Grant (CDBG), HOME Investment Partnerships (HOME), and Emergency Shelter Grant (ESG) allocations from HUD over the next five years: beginning July 1, 2025, and ending June 30, 2030. The priority needs and goals established in this Strategic Plan are based on the Needs Assessment and Market Analysis of this Consolidated Plan. The needs are goals are applicable citywide. The priority needs listed below are established as part of this Strategic Plan. -Expand the supply of affordable housing -Preserve the supply of affordable housing -Improve public facilities and infrastructure -Increase access to and supply of homeless services and facilities -Access to supply of public services -Promote economic opportunity EXHIBIT 1     City Council 23 – 149 6/3/2025 130 Table 41 - Strategic Plan Summary Goal Name Category Needs Addressed Funding Goal Outcome Indicator Goal 1: Affordable housing development, maintenance, and preservation Affordable Housing -Expand the supply of affordable housing -Preserve the supply of affordable housing CDBG $5,237,723 HOME $5,215,779 -Homeowner Housing Rehabbed: 25 Household/ Housing Units -Rental Housing Rehabbed: 40 Household/ Housing Units -Rental Housing Units Constructed: 25 Housing Units -Homeownership Housing Units Constructed: 8 Housing Units -Direct Financial Assistance to Homebuyers: 8 Households Assisted -TBRA/RRH: 40 Households Assisted Goal 2: Code enforcement Non—Homeless Special Needs; Non-Housing Community Development Preserve the supply of affordable housing CDBG $2,933,125 Housing Code Enforcement: 10,440 Housing Units Goal 3: Public Service Programs Non—Homeless Special Needs; Non-Housing Community Development Access to and supply of public services CDBG $3,142,633 Public services activities other than for low-/mod- income housing benefit: 7,400 Households EXHIBIT 1     City Council 23 – 150 6/3/2025 131 Goal Name Category Needs Addressed Funding Goal Outcome Indicator Goal 4: Homeless services and facilities Homeless Increase access to and supply of homeless services and facilities ESG $1,745,151 TBRA/RRH:45 Households Assisted Homeless Person Overnight Shelter:315 Persons Assisted Overnight/ES/TH Beds Added: 15 beds Homelessness Prevention: 55 Persons Assisted Goal 5: Economic development programs Non-Housing Community Development Promote economic opportunity CDBG: $209,509 15 businesses assisted Goal 6 Public facility and infrastructure improvement Non-Housing Community Development Improve city public facilities and infrastructure CDBG: $5,237,723 Public services other than Low/ Moderate Income Housing Benefit: 7,000 persons assisted EXHIBIT 1     City Council 23 – 151 6/3/2025 132 SP-10 Geographic Priorities Describe the basis for allocating investments geographically within the jurisdiction (or within the EMSA for HOPWA) Investment in infrastructure improvements and public facilities will be focused primarily in areas with a concentration of at least 51 percent low- and moderate-income population. Investment in public facilities and services for special needs populations and primarily low- and moderate-income persons will be made throughout the City prioritizing those areas with a higher percentage of disabled residents. Housing assistance (including homebuyer and rehabilitation assistance) will be available to income-qualified households citywide. The City utilizes HUD regulations for verification of income in accordance with Title 24 Code of Federal Regulations Part 5. Required income documentation may include tax records, income statements, benefit statements, and verification of assets. For those programs that benefit Santa Ana residents only, residency documentation may include a driver’s license, utility bill, and/or lease agreement. Table 42 - Geographic Priority Areas Area Name Citywide EXHIBIT 1     City Council 23 – 152 6/3/2025 133 SP-25 Priority Needs Table 43 – Priority Needs Summary 1.Expand the supply of affordable housing Priority Level High Population Income Levels Extremely low Low Moderate Family Types NA Homeless NA Non-homeless Special Needs NA Geographies Affected Citywide Associated Goals -Affordable housing, development, maintenance, and preservation -Planning, administration and fair housing Description CHAS data shows the most common housing problem in the City is overcrowding and severe overcrowding. Analysis of Housing Problems (Table 8) shows this affects 17,065 households with income at or below 80 percent AMI. Of those households, 81 percent rent their homes. The second most common housing problem is housing cost burden greater than 30 percent of income, which impacts 40 percent of households earning at most 80 percent AMI. Those affected include 12,825 renter and 8,150 owner households. Extremely low- and low-income households with one or more housing problem are presumed to be unstably housed, putting them at risk of falling into homelessness. There are 33,345 households in Santa Ana earning up to 50 percent AMI, representing 42 percent of all households. Within this income range individuals and families with children are highly sensitive to adverse events. The greatest concentrations of unstably housed households are among renter households with housing cost burden at or above 50 percent of their gross household income. Among renters experiencing severe housing cost burden small- related households are most impacted, followed by households that are large related, elderly, and “other.” Among owners experiencing severe housing cost burden small-related households are most impacted followed by elderly, large related, and “other.” Households in this income range living in crowded conditions are also unstably housed. EXHIBIT 1     City Council 23 – 153 6/3/2025 134 This condition impacts a much smaller, but still significant, number of households than housing cost burden does, twenty-five percent of renter households with incomes at or below 50 percent AMI are living in crowded homes. Relative Basis The development of additional affordable housing units affordable for low- and moderate-income households and individuals is a high priority due to the number of severely cost burdened households. Increasing the supply of affordable housing includes the development of rental housing with long-term affordability covenants and income targeting. To the extent that resources may be leveraged for supportive services, such developments should follow permanent supportive housing models determined to be a national best- practice to address homelessness. Based on responses to the Community Needs survey and data examined, increasing the supply of affordable housing and providing rental assistance will be crucial tools of the City. 2.Preserve the supply of affordable housing Priority Level High Population Income Levels Extremely low Low Moderate Family Types NA Homeless NA Non-Homeless Special Needs NA Geographies Affected Citywide Associated Goals -Affordable housing, development, maintenance, and preservation -Code enforcement -Planning, administration and fair housing Description The age and condition of Santa Ana’s housing stock is an important indicator of potential rehabilitation needs. Housing over 30 years of age can be presumed to need some form of major rehabilitation, such as roof replacement, foundation work and plumbing systems. Housing over 20 years of age will generally exhibit deficiencies in terms of paint, weatherization, heating/air-conditioning systems, hot water heaters and finish plumbing fixtures. Housing values in Santa Ana have increased significantly over a relatively short period of time. Longtime homeowners, especially the EXHIBIT 1     City Council 23 – 154 6/3/2025 135 elderly and disabled, are more likely to have fixed and limited incomes and may have difficulty maintaining their homes. This housing stock in Santa Ana is dated; 80 percent of housing units were constructed before 1980 according to 2016-2020 CHAS data. About 15 percent of owner- and renter-occupied housing in Santa Ana was built 30 to 40 years ago between 1980 and 1999. There are 24,850 households with at least one member over the age of 62 and 16,790 of whom have household incomes at or below 80 percent AMI, according to 2016-2020 CHAS data. There are approximately 12,148 people aged 18 to 64 with disabilities, according to 2016-2020, ACS 5- Year estimates. These households may be presumed to have fixed incomes. It is reasonable to anticipate a significant number of housing units in need of repair and a significant number of households will need financial assistance to complete those repairs. Relative Basis Preservation of the physical and functional integrity of existing housing units occupied by low- and moderate-income households is a cost-effective way to invest limited resources to retain existing housing units that are already affordable to low- and moderate-income households in the community. Expanding the stock of affordable housing by supporting the construction of affordable units, homebuyer and rental assistance programs are also effective ways to make housing more affordable to households. Based on responses to the Community Needs survey and data examined, rehabilitation of housing currently occupied by households with low and moderate incomes is an efficient and effective way to preserve affordable housing. 3.Improve public facilities and infrastructure Priority Level Low Population Income Levels N/A Family Types N/A Homeless N/A Non-Homeless Special Needs Non-housing Community Development Geographies Affected Low- and moderate-income census tracts Associated Goals -Public facility and infrastructure improvement -Planning, administration, and fair housing Description There is need for rehabilitation, modernization and upgrades to existing public facilities and neighborhood amenities such as parks, recreational EXHIBIT 1     City Council 23 – 155 6/3/2025 136 facilities and community centers to maintain an equivalent or better level of quality to other newer facilities in areas of the City that were developed more recently. Additionally, Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) improvements are necessary in certain facilities as the City continues to modernize public facilities constructed more than 40 years ago. In the allocation of resources for the rehabilitation of public facilities, priority shall be given to facilities that primarily benefit low- income people or address homeless or special needs populations, particularly those facilities with critically needed renovation or demonstrated need for expansion to accommodate the needs of low- income residents. Relative Basis The need for public facility and infrastructure improvements are informed by the results of the Needs Assessment Survey, input received during the Community Meeting, and the City’s on-going assessment of critical infrastructure. 4.Increase access to and supply of homeless services and facilities Priority Level: High Population Income Levels Extremely Low Low Family Types NA Homeless Chronic Homelessness Mentally Ill Chronic Substance Abuse Veterans Unaccompanied Youth Non-homeless Special Needs Geographies Affected Citywide Associated Goals -Homeless services and facilities -Planning, administration, and fair housing Description The age and condition of Santa Ana’s housing stock is an important indicator of potential rehabilitation needs. Housing over 30 years of age can be presumed to need some form of major rehabilitation, such as roof replacement, foundation work and plumbing systems. Housing over 20 years of age will generally exhibit deficiencies in terms of paint, weatherization, heating/air-conditioning systems, hot water heaters and finish plumbing fixtures. Housing values in Santa Ana have increased significantly over a relatively short period of time. Longtime homeowners, especially the elderly and disabled, are more likely to have fixed EXHIBIT 1     City Council 23 – 156 6/3/2025 137 and limited incomes and may have difficulty maintaining their homes. This housing stock in Santa Ana is dated; 80 percent of housing units were constructed before 1980 according to 2016-2020 CHAS data. About 15 percent of owner- and renter-occupied housing in Santa Ana was built 30 to 40 years ago between 1980 and 1999. There are 24,850 households with at least one member over the age of 62 and 16,790 of whom have household incomes at or below 80 percent AMI, according to 2016-2020 CHAS data. There are approximately 12,148 people aged 18 to 64 with disabilities, according to 2016-2020, ACS 5- Year estimates. These households may be presumed to have fixed incomes. It is reasonable to anticipate a significant number of housing units in need of repair and a significant number of households will need financial assistance to complete those repairs. The 2024 PIT Count shows that on January 24, 2024, throughout Orange County most people experiencing homelessness were unsheltered. Of the 7,322 homeless individuals, 57 percent were unsheltered. Unsheltered chronically, homeless people accounted for 22 percent of all homeless individuals. Among those who were reported as being homeless and unsheltered (4,173 individuals), 49 percent were living with chronic substance abuse; 30 percent faced severe mental health issues; and ten percent had experienced domestic violence. Relative Basis Priority Need The City of Santa Ana considers ending and preventing homelessness a high priority and will support activities that help prevent and shorten periods of homelessness and that provide a structured path to stable housing for individuals and families who become homeless. 5.Access to and supply of public services Priority Level High Population Income Levels Extremely Low Low Moderate Family Types Elderly Families with Children Homeless Chronic Homelessness Mentally Ill Chronic Substance Abuse Veterans Unaccompanied Youth Non-homeless Special Needs Frail Elderly EXHIBIT 1     City Council 23 – 157 6/3/2025 138 Geographies Affected Citywide Associated Goals -Public service programs -Planning, administration, and fair housing Description Households with low- and moderate-incomes, living below the poverty line, and experiencing or at-risk of falling into homelessness are most in need of public services to defray the cost of living and ameliorate the impacts of poverty. CHAS 2016-2020 data shows 66 percent of households in Santa Ana have incomes at or below 80 percent AMI (see Table 1). ACS data for the same period shows 13 percent of the population of Santa Ana is living below the federal poverty level (FPL), accounting for 43,975 residents. Among these residents 16,437 are children under the age of 18 and 4,275 are elderly aged 65 and over. Relative Basis Consistent with the results of the Needs Assessment and Market Analysis sections of this plan, including the results of the Community Needs and Stakeholder surveys, the provision of a wide range of public services for Households with low- and moderate-incomes, living below the poverty line, and experiencing or at-risk of falling into homelessness is a priority need for the City of Santa Ana. 6.Promote economic opportunity Priority Level Low Population Income Levels Extremely Low Low Moderate Family Type Homeless Non-homeless Special Needs Non-housing Community Development Geographies Affected Citywide Associated Goals -Economic development programs -Planning, administration, and fair housing Description To address unemployment and underemployment in the community and activate commercial corridors City supports the development and expansion of qualified small local businesses. This approach fulfills several needs in the community, including addressing employment opportunities, supporting business to expand and update aged and dilapidated commercial buildings, offering a wide range of products and services to residents and in creating the sales tax base. EXHIBIT 1     City Council 23 – 158 6/3/2025 139 Relative Basis Consistent with the results of the Needs Assessment and Market Analysis sections of this plan, including the results of the Community Needs and Stakeholder surveys, the provision of a wide range of economic development activities meeting a national objective is a priority needs of the City. In establishing five-year priorities for assistance, the City has taken several concerns into consideration: -Those categories of extremely low, low- and moderate-income households most in need of housing and community development assistance; -Which activities will best meet the needs of those identified households; and -The extent of federal and other resources available to address these needs. Priority needs were determined on the basis of analytical research and the input received through outreach and consultation; four of the six priority needs are identified as high. The City will implement projects in each five-year Action Plan that address the Priority Needs. Pursuant to CDBG regulations, projects must meet one of three national objectives set forth by HUD: (1) Benefit low- and moderate-income households, (2) Aid in the elimination/ prevention of slum and blight, or (3) Meet an urgent need (catastrophic events). Pursuant to HOME regulations, HOME funds are specifically focused on affordable housing activities and may be used to develop and support affordable rental housing and homeownership opportunities for households earning up to 80 percent of the AMI citywide. EXHIBIT 1     City Council 23 – 159 6/3/2025 140 SP-30 Influence of Market Conditions Table 44 – Influence of Market Conditions Affordable Housing Type Market Characteristics that will influence the use of funds available for housing type Tenant Based Rental Assistance (TBRA) The City may use a portion of its HOME funds to provide TBRA. CHAS data shows the most common housing problem in the City is overcrowding and severe overcrowding. Analysis of Housing Problems (Table 8) shows this affects 17,065 households with income at or below 80 percent AMI. Of those households, 81 percent rent their homes. The second most common housing problem is housing cost burden greater than 30 percent of income which impacts 40 percent of households earning at most 80 percent AMI. Those affected include 12,825 renter and 8,150 owner households. Extremely low- and low-income households with one or more housing problem are presumed to be unstably housed, putting them at risk of falling into homelessness. There are 33,345 households in Santa Ana earning up to 50 percent AMI, representing 42 percent of all households. Within this income range individuals and families with children are highly sensitive to adverse events. The greatest concentrations of unstably housed households are among renter households with housing cost burden at or above 50 percent of their gross household income. Among renters experiencing severe housing cost burden small-related households are most impacted, followed by households that are large related, elderly, and “other.” Among owners experiencing severe housing cost burden small-related households are most impacted followed by elderly, large related, and “other.” Households in this income range living in crowded conditions are also unstably housed. This condition impacts a much smaller, but still significant, number of households than housing cost burden does, twenty-five percent of renter households with incomes at or below 50 percent AMI are living in crowded homes. TBRA for Non- Homeless Special Needs The City may use a portion of its HOME funds to provide TBRA. Included among those eligible to apply for TBRA are special non-homeless special needs populations. New Unit Production The most common housing problem in the City is overcrowding and severe overcrowding. Analysis of Housing Problems (Table 8) shows this affects 17,065 households with income at or below 80 percent AMI. Of those households, 81 percent rent their homes. The second most common housing problem is housing cost burden greater than 30 percent of income which impacts 40 percent of households earning at most 80 percent AMI. Those affected include 12,825 renter and 8,150 owner households. Based on funding availability and allocations, the City may allocate a portion of the HOME funds to increase the supply of safe, decent, affordable housing for lower-income households (including extremely low-income households, and low- and moderate-income households), such as seniors, those with disabilities, and those experiencing and/ or at risk of experiencing homelessness. EXHIBIT 1     City Council 23 – 160 6/3/2025 141 Affordable Housing Type Market Characteristics that will influence the use of funds available for housing type Rehabilitation This housing stock in Santa Ana is dated; 80 percent of housing units were constructed before 1980 according to 2016-2020 CHAS data. This indicates a significant need for rehabilitation. The City will aid rehabilitation of residential housing units. Preservation of the physical and functional integrity of existing housing units occupied by low- and moderate-income households is a cost-effective way to invest limited resources to retain existing housing units that are already affordable to low- and moderate- income households in the community. Addressing substandard housing conditions through housing preservation activities provides that all economic segments of the community have the means to ensure that their property meets local standards. Acquisition, including preservation As the Needs Assessment and Market Analysis in this document have clearly shown, thousands of Santa Ana households are crowded, overcrowded, and cost burdened and likely eligible for newly acquired and rehabilitated affordable housing units. This is a relatively cost-effective way to make incremental increases affordable rental and homeownership housing stock. As funding is available to properly support this type of project the City will invest in acquisition rehabilitation. EXHIBIT 1     City Council 23 – 161 6/3/2025 142 SP-35 Anticipated Resources During the five-year period of the Consolidated Plan from July 1, 2025, to June 30, 2030, the City of Santa Ana anticipates investing an estimated $20,950,890 CDBG, $5,795,310 HOME and $1,886,650 ESG funds (over the 5-year period) to support the goals of this Strategic Plan. The annual allocations are subject to federal appropriations and changes in demographic data used in HUD formulas for each respective program. The City’s Fiscal Year 2025 Action Plan will lay out the use of the annual allocations to address the priority needs and achieve the goals defined in the Strategic Plan.

EXHIBIT 1     City Council 23 – 163 6/3/2025 144 Explain how federal funds will leverage those additional resources (private, state, and local funds), including a description of how matching requirements will be satisfied. The City is expected to receive HOME funding which can be leveraged with CDBG funding if used for affordable housing and housing rehabilitation. The City will leverage HOME funding if future projects are presented during the next five years. The HOME program requires a 25 percent match based on fund expenditure, unless a jurisdiction meets the thresholds to have the match requirements reduced. The threshold conditions are: 1) Fiscal distress; 2) Severe fiscal distress, and 3) Presidentially declared major disasters covered under the Stafford Act. The City was identified by HUD as a fiscally distressed jurisdiction and has been granted a 50 percent match reduction for Fiscal Year 2023. The determinations for 2024 have not been made public as of January 23, 2025. The City anticipates this designation will continue into the 2025 Consolidated Plan period. Given the limited size of the CDBG and HOME annual allocations, the City may consider pursuing new Section 108 loans within the five-year Consolidated Plan period to support large-scale public improvements or housing projects. Depending on the financing structure of a given activity, it may be advantageous for the City to use CDBG funds to leverage appropriate state, local, and private resources, including but not limited to those listed below. Federal Resources: -Continuum of Care (CoC) Program -HUD Veterans Affairs Supportive Housing (HUD-VASH) -Supportive Housing for the Elderly (Section 202) -Supportive Housing for Persons with Disabilities (Section 811) -Housing Opportunities for Persons with AIDS (HOPWA) -YouthBuild -Federal Low-Income Housing Tax Credit Program -Project Based Housing Choice Vouchers State Resources: -Low-Income Housing Tax Credit Program -Tax-Exempt Bond Financing -Permanent Local Housing Allocation -Building Equity and Growth in Neighborhoods Program (BEGIN) -CalHome Program -Multifamily Housing Program (MHP) -Homekey -CalHFA Single and Multi-Family Program EXHIBIT 1     City Council 23 – 164 6/3/2025 145 -Mental Health Service Act (MHSA) Funding -Affordable Housing and Sustainable Communities Program Local Resources: -San Diego County CoC -San Diego Housing Commission (SDHC) -California Home Finance Agency -City of Santa Ana In Lieu Fees -Low and Moderate Income Housing Asset Fund (Successor Housing Agency) Private Resources -Federal Home Loan Bank, Affordable Housing Program -Community Reinvestment Act Programs -United Way -Private Contributions If appropriate, describe publicly owned land or property located within the jurisdiction that may be used to address the needs identified in the plan. Santa Ana will comply with state requirements under AB1486 and AB1255 to inventory and support developers to access and utilize surplus municipal and state land for the construction of affordable housing. If such sites are identified, the City will consider the use of HUD funding or other resources to assist with site preparation and/ or development. At this time, no publicly owned land or property is expected to be used to address the needs. Discussion Assuming continued level funding, the City expects to utilize over $28,632,850 in CDBG, HOME, and ESG funds during the five-year period beginning July 1, 2025, and ending June 30, 2030, to achieve the goals of the Strategic Plan. EXHIBIT 1     City Council 23 – 165 6/3/2025 146 SP-40 Institutional Delivery Structure Table 46 provides an overview of the institutional structure through which the City will carry out its Consolidated Plan including private industry, nonprofit organizations, and public institutions.

The CoC and the recipients of homeless funding from HUD and Homeless Housing, Assistance and Prevention (HHAP) Grant funds from the State of California utilize the Coordinated Entry System (CES) system to match clients to appropriate services. Describe the strengths and gaps of the service delivery system for special needs population and persons experiencing homelessness, including, but not limited to, the services listed above. As the seat of Orange County government many public and private resource providers are located in Santa Ana. The City is committed to making a difference by coordinating with County partners, including the CoC, local businesses, community faith groups, and nonprofit partners to meet the needs of residents with special needs and those experiencing or at risk of experiencing homelessness. Despite the many resources available and the contributions of community partners, there is still not enough funding to provide the level of services needed for long-term assistance for clients on fixed or extremely limited incomes. The City supports services for special needs populations and individuals experiencing homelessness with CDBG and ESG funds. Provide a summary of the strategy for overcoming gaps in the institutional structure and service delivery system for carrying out a strategy to address priority needs. To address the lack of resources necessary to fully address the needs of special needs populations and persons experiencing homelessness, the City will continue allocating the maximum allowable amount of CDBG funds to public services. The City will work to leverage its HOME funds, including CHDO Set-Aside and Low Moderate Income Housing Asset (LMIHAF) funds, with other state, federal, and local resources to address its priority needs.

Barriers to affordable housing differ from impediments to fair housing choice in that barriers are legally permissible, whereas impediments to fair housing choice are typically unlawful. The City’s 2021-2029 Housing Element includes an identification and prioritization of significant contributing factors that impede fair housing and/or result in disproportionate housing needs. Through discussions with stakeholders and fair housing advocates, community feedback, and the assessment of fair housing included in the Housing Element, the City identified the following fair housing issues: -Displacement risk -Lack of safe and sanitary housing -Housing overcrowding -Low household incomes -Exposure to environmental hazards -Lack of quality education and job training The primary factor contributing to these housing issues is the limited availability of resources to subsidize housing development to the point that units are affordable to low- and moderate-income households. The elimination of local Redevelopment Agencies by the State of California resulted in the loss of a crucial resource for the development and preservation of affordable housing. This was the most significant public policy change impacting affordable housing and residential investment. While there are mechanisms whereby certain affordable housing assets tied to the former Redevelopment Agencies may be utilized today, these resources are finite and scarce. Strategy to Remove or Ameliorate the Barriers to Affordable Housing As described in the 2021-2029 Housing Element, the City is taking several actions to remove or ameliorate barriers to affordable housing. These actions are summarized below. 1.Facilitate construction of 723 ADUs between 2021-2029 by publishing preapproved ADU plans and publicizing ADU program through dedicated web page in various languages to facilitate ADU construction. 2.Enforce the City’s inclusionary housing ordinance, known as the Affordable Housing Opportunity & Creation Ordinance (AHOCO), to require eligible housing development projects of five or more units, including condominium conversions, to include at least 15 percent of the units as affordable to low-income households; or EXHIBIT 1     City Council 23 – 173 6/3/2025 154 10 percent of the units affordable to very low-income households; or 5 percent to extremely low-income households; or a minimum of 10 percent available affordable households with five (5)5 percent to low- income, 3 percent to very low-income, and 2 percent to extremely low-income households, for rental housing. Require 5 percent of the units as affordable to moderate-income households for for-sale housing. 3.Establish guidelines as part of the Comprehensive Zoning Code Update for new housing development projects to include a variety of unit sizes, including units for large families, that are affordable to extremely low-, very low-, and low-income families. 4.Annually monitor the status of at-risk housing projects, specifically the Warwick Square, Highland Manor, and other projects that may come due. Contact owners of properties at risk of conversion within one year of expiration to discuss City’s desire to preserve projects as affordable housing. 5.Assist low-income households with down payment assistance loans of up to $120,000 and moderate-income households with loans of up to $80,000. 6.Create, assist, and support neighborhood associations, especially in R/ECAP and TCAC Census Tracts, to collaborate on projects and sponsor and hold annual events. 7.Complete infrastructure improvements in residential neighborhoods consistent with the City’s Capital Improvement Plan. 8.Through the City’s RFP process for Affordable Housing Development, facilitate and encourage the development in the Transit Zoning Code plan area of varied housing types at a mix of affordability levels, including for lower income households using appropriate incentives, such as awarding bonus points to developers whose projects provide at least 75% or more for the units for extremely low-income families at 30% Area Median Income. 9.Implement the City’s Rent Stabilization and Just Cause Eviction Ordinance for tenants facing housing instability, including ongoing outreach and education, a program monitor system, and a schedule of penalties that may be imposed for noncompliance. Provide tenant protections beyond state mandates. 10.Provide housing assistance payments to eligible households participating in the Housing Choice Voucher Program and adhere to policies and procedures in the federal regulations and the Housing Choice Voucher Program Administrative Plan. Administer 100 percent of the funding provided to the Housing Authority annually for eligible households. This includes Special Purpose Vouchers including the Veterans Affairs Supportive Housing Program; Mainstream Voucher Program; Foster Youth to Independence Program; and Emergency Housing Voucher Program. The objectives are to: 1) Utilize 100 percent of the Annual Budget Authority provided by HUD for each CY; 2) Apply for new funding opportunities for additional vouchers; 3) Retain High Performer SEMAP status; 4) Communicate on a regular basis with active landlords by providing information on key program updates. EXHIBIT 1     City Council 23 – 174 6/3/2025 155 11.Contract with a local nonprofit organization (currently Habitat for Humanity) to implement the City’s Residential Rehabilitation Grant Program. Provide grants for the repair and rehabilitation of single-family and mobile homes, prioritizing applicants in R/ECAP and TCAC Census Tracts and low-income households. 12.Enhance local preferences program for residents working and living in Santa Ana who are seeking affordable housing. Explore a right-of-first-refusal ordinance for mobile home parks and publicly supported multifamily residential properties to minimize tenant displacement and preserve affordable housing stock. Evaluate and pursue collective ownership models for mobile home parks as a tool to prevent displacement. EXHIBIT 1     City Council 23 – 175 6/3/2025 156 SP-60 Homelessness Strategy The needs of individuals experiencing homelessness and persons with special needs are complex and require a wide range of specialized services. Numerous agencies are involved in the care of these individuals, providing distinct services such as housing, mental health counseling, employment training, and case management services. The City funds multiple activities to assist individuals experiencing homelessness and other special needs populations. Overall, these services address the high priority of reducing homelessness and the threat of becoming homeless, as well as providing necessary supportive services. Reaching out to homeless persons (especially unsheltered persons) and assessing their individual needs Santa Ana will continue to invest HUD and non-HUD funding to engage individuals and households experiencing homelessness, assessing their needs, and connecting them to appropriate resources. street outreach and emergency shelter. In previous years ESG has supported private providers of street outreach and emergency shelter. The City anticipated continuing these efforts during the next five years. The Santa Ana Police Department (SAPD) implements proactive policing and engagement with residents experiencing unsheltered homelessness. The Quality of Life Team (QOLT) comprises members from various City Departments, including Public Works, the Police Department, Code Enforcement, Parks and Recreation, the Community Development Agency, Homeless Services, and the City’s street outreach and engagement team. The team works collaboratively to implement a coordinated response to community service requests related to the impacts of homelessness. The SAPD’s Homeless Evaluation Assessment Response Team (HEART) provides immediate assistance, long-term solutions, and connections to services such as shelter, mental health support, and housing programs. Other City programs that reach out to unsheltered homeless individuals are Coordinated Entry and Family Reunification, Psychological Emergency Response Team (PERT), and the Santa Ana Multi-Disciplinary Response Team (SMART). The Coordinated Entry and Family Reunification program, which is privately funded, assesses the needs of residents and connects them to the appropriate resources. Resources may include emergency shelter, transitional or permanent supportive housing, and reconnecting with social networks. PERT is a partnership with the Orange County Health Care Agency that pairs mental health clinicians with officers to assist individuals with mental health or substance abuse issues. SMART is a contracted service provided by CityNet. SMART addresses non-emergent situations with a focus on connecting unhoused individuals to shelter, critical services, and mental health and medical treatment. EXHIBIT 1     City Council 23 – 176 6/3/2025 157 Addressing the emergency and transitional housing needs of homeless persons The 2024 PIT Count recorded 3,149 sheltered and 4,173 unsheltered individuals experiencing homelessness. Of the sheltered and homeless population 80 percent were residing in emergency shelter and 20 percent in transitional housing. The 2024 Housing Inventory Count reported 645 emergency shelter beds and 624 transitional housing beds for household with adults and children, 2,365 emergency shelter beds and 217 transitional housing beds for households with only adults. The Santa Ana Navigation Center opened in June 2022 as a 24-hour homeless shelter serving men, women, and families with minor children. The shelter has 200 beds in five dormitories and family rooms, including full bathroom facilities, a commercial kitchen, a children's playroom, and more. In addition to the Navigation Cetner the City may directing ESG funds to support private homeless service providers’ emergency shelter efforts. Helping homeless persons (especially chronically homeless individuals and families, families with children, veterans and their families, and unaccompanied youth) make the transition to permanent housing and independent living, including shortening the period of time that individuals and families experience homelessness, facilitating access for homeless individuals and families to affordable housing units, and preventing individuals and families who were recently homeless from becoming homeless again. To achieve housing stability whether individuals and families need access to housing which they can reasonably afford. The City anticipates directing ESG resources to to funding rapid rehousing and homelessness prevention activities. Furthermore, the City may leverage CDBG, HOME, PLHA and other funds to expand the supply of affordable housing. Help low-income individuals and families avoid becoming homeless, especially extremely low-income individuals and families who are likely to become homeless after being discharged from a publicly funded institution or system of care, or who are receiving assistance from public and private agencies that address housing, health, social services, employment, education, or youth needs. The City approaches assisting low-income individuals and families, especially those existing a publicly funded institution, to avoid homelessness from multiple angles. SAHA administers Mainstream 5, VASH, Foster Youth to Independence, and Emergency Housing Vouchers. These may assist individuals and households exiting hospitals, shelters, foster care, and other publicly funded institutions to secure stable housing. The Coordinated Entry and Family Reunification Program described above is another resource the City provides. The City anticipates directing ESG resources to In addition to funding rapid rehousing and homelessness prevention activities. Furthermore, the City may leverage CDBG, HOME, PLHA, HOME-ARP, and other funds to expand the supply of affordable housing. EXHIBIT 1     City Council 23 – 177 6/3/2025 158 SP-65 Lead based paint Hazards Actions to address LBP hazards and increase access to housing without LBP hazards. The Residential Lead Based Paint Hazard Reduction Act of 1992 (Title X) emphasizes prevention of childhood lead poisoning through housing-based approaches. This strategy requires the City to implement programs that protect children living in older housing from lead hazards. The housing stock in Santa Ana is dated; 80 percent of housing units were constructed before 1980 according to 2016-2020 CHAS data. Units constructed prior to January 1, 1978, are presumed to have the potential to contain lead-based paint (LBP). In these units, the best way to have reasonable assurance that lead-based paint hazards are not present is to have the painted surfaces tested. To reduce lead-based paint hazards, the City takes the following actions: -Include lead testing and abatement procedures, as required, in all residential rehabilitation activities for units built prior to January 1, 1978. -Educate residents on the health hazards of lead-based paint through brochures and encourage screening children for elevated blood-lead levels. -Disseminate brochures about lead hazards through the City’s residential rehabilitation activities. How are the actions listed above related to the extent of lead poisoning and hazards? Over time, through testing and abatement, monitoring of public health data, and through public education, the public will have greater awareness of the hazards of lead-based paint to children. This will prompt homeowners, landlords, and parents of young children, to proactively address unsafe housing conditions in pre-1978 units where children may potentially be exposed to lead-based paint hazards. How are the actions listed above integrated into housing policies and procedures? In accordance with federal regulation, the City of Santa Ana has established policies regarding the identification of LBP hazards. Housing built prior to 1978 must undergo lead- based paint testing prior to receiving funding for rehabilitation. If deteriorated lead-based paint surfaces are found, they must be stabilized during the rehabilitation of the property. As required, abatement must be performed by a certified lead-based paint assessor prior to the issuance of the Notice of Completion. The City will continue to maintain policies and procedures to increase access to housing without LBP hazards. CDBG and HOME funding is not provided until it is determined properties are free of LBP hazards. EXHIBIT 1     City Council 23 – 178 6/3/2025 159 SP-70 Anti-Poverty Strategy Jurisdiction Goals, Programs and Policies for reducing the number of Poverty- Level Families. Poverty continues to be a significant challenge in Santa Ana. According to the 2016-2020 ACS,13 percent of residents live below the FPL, among those are 16,437 children under the age of 18 and 4,275 elderly aged 65 and over. To meaningfully address this challenge, each of the goals included in the Strategic Plan supports activities to promote the availability of affordable housing and the provision of essential services that directly benefit low- and moderate-income residents. In the implementation of the Strategic Plan, the City will prioritize funding for activities that most effectively address these goals over the next five years. This strategy will emphasize using CDBG, HOME, and ESG funds to help individuals and families rise out of poverty to long-term self-sufficiency. The Consolidated Plan goals strive to reduce the number of poverty-level families. Those goals are: -Affordable housing development, maintenance, and preservation -Code enforcement -Public services programs -Homeless services and facilities -Economic development programs -Public facilities and infrastructure improvements In addition to these local efforts, mainstream state and federal resources also contribute to reducing the number of individuals and families in poverty. Federal programs, such as the Earned Income Tax Credit and Head Start, offer a pathway out of poverty for families who are ready to pursue employment and educational opportunities. In California, the primary programs that assist families in poverty are CalWORKS, CalFresh (formerly food stamps) and Medi-Cal. Together, these programs provide individuals and families with employment assistance, subsidy for food, medical care, childcare, and cash payments to meet basic needs such as housing, nutrition and transportation. How are the Jurisdiction poverty reducing goals, programs, and policies coordinated with this affordable housing plan? The goals of this Strategic Plan are aligned to benefit low- and moderate-income residents to reduce the number of poverty-level families. For example, activities completed under the affordable housing development, maintenance, and preservation goal will increase the housing stock accessible to extremely low- and low-income households transitioning out or at risk of homelessness. Implementation of this goal may reduce a household housing cost burden thereby increasing disposable income and enabling opportunity to pursue previously inaccessible choices. EXHIBIT 1     City Council 23 – 179 6/3/2025 160 SP-80 Monitoring Describe the standards and procedures that the jurisdiction will use to monitor activities carried out in furtherance of the plan and will use to ensure long-term compliance with requirements of the programs involved, including minority business outreach and the comprehensive planning requirements To ensure that HUD funds are used efficiently and in compliance with applicable regulations, the City provides technical assistance to all subrecipients at the beginning of each program year and monitors subrecipients throughout the program year. Technical Assistance To enhance compliance, the City provides an annual Notice of Funding Availability (NOFA) workshop to review Consolidated Plan goals, program requirements and available resources. Subsequent to the approval of the Annual Action Plan, a mandatory subrecipient workshop is held to review program regulations in detail, provide useful forms and resources for documenting compliance, and review the compliance procedures and requirements. Individualized technical assistance is provided on an as-needed basis. Activity Monitoring All activities are monitored, beginning with a detailed review upon receipt of an application to determine eligibility, conformance with a National Objective and conformance with a Plan goal. This review also examines the proposed use of funds, eligibility of the service area, eligibility of the intended beneficiaries and likelihood of compliance with other federal requirements. Subrecipients are required to submit an audit and other documentation to establish their capacity, and any findings noted in the audit are reviewed with the applicant. Eligible applications are then considered for funding. Once funded, desk monitoring includes ongoing review of required quarterly performance reports. For CDBG public service activities, an on-site monitoring is conducted once every two (2) years, or more frequently as needed to ensure compliance. These reviews include both a fiscal and programmatic review of the subrecipient’s activities. The reviews determine if the subrecipient is complying with the program regulations and City contract. Areas routinely reviewed include overall administration, financial systems, appropriateness of program expenditures, program delivery, client eligibility determination and documentation, reporting systems, and achievement toward achieving contractual goals. Following the monitoring visit, a written report is provided delineating the results of the review and any findings of non-compliance and the required corrective action. Subrecipients normally have 30 days to provide the City with corrective actions taken to address any noted findings. Individualized technical assistance is provided, as noted above, as soon as compliance concerns are identified. For CDBG capital projects, monitoring also includes compliance with regulatory agreement requirements EXHIBIT 1     City Council 23 – 180 6/3/2025 161 Annual Action Plan AP-15 Expected Resources Annual allocations are subject to federal appropriations and changes in demographic data used in HUD’s formulas for the programs. During the first year Annual Action Plan from July 1, 2025, to June 30, 2026, the City will invest $4,366,475 in CDBG, $1,159,062 in HOME, and $377,330 in ESG funds to support the goals of the Strategic Plan.

EXHIBIT 1     City Council 23 – 182 6/3/2025 163 Explain how federal funds will leverage those additional resources (private, state and local funds), including a description of how matching requirements will be satisfied. The extent of need in Santa Ana far exceeds the available funding from CDBG, HOME, and ESG. Most activities into which these funds are invested will leverage a variety of additional sources including, but not limited to, public and private grants, capital development and general funds, public financing, and private donations. The City has been awarded HUD HOME American Rescue Plan (ARP) and state Permanent Local Housing Allocation (PLHA) funds to further address extremely low- and low-income housing needs including the needs of residents experiencing and at risk of experiencing homelessness. The City has Low- and Moderate-Income Housing Asset Funds (LMIHAF) which may be used to supplement homeless services provided to residents. The City encourages the use of Low- Income Housing Tax Credits to fund construction, substantial rehabilitation, or acquisition or affordable housing. The HOME program requires a 25 percent match based on fund expenditure, unless a jurisdiction meets a threshold to have the match requirements reduced; those threshold conditions are: 1) Fiscal distress; 2) Severe fiscal distress, and 3) Presidentially declared major disasters covered under the Stafford Act. The City was identified by HUD as a fiscally distressed jurisdiction and has been granted a 50 percent match reduction for fiscal year 2023, as of the preparation of this Action Plan neither the fiscal year 2024 or 2025 reductions have been published. The City expects the 2023 designation will continue in fiscal year 2025. ESG requires a 100 percent match. If appropriate, describe publicly owned land or property located within the jurisdiction that may be used to address the needs identified in the plan. The City will not use any publicly owned land or property located within the jurisdiction to address the needs identified in this plan. Discussion The City shares overall responsibility for meeting the priority needs identified in the Strategic Plan with many other organizations and is solely responsible for using CPD entitlement funds to address the needs of low- and moderate-income residents.

As grant resources become increasingly scarce, it is important for the City to determine areas and population segments with the greatest level of need for a particular program or activity and to be able to invest federal, state, and local resources in high leverage opportunities where data suggests that the City will be able to maximize the impact of every dollar. The 2025-2029 Consolidated Plan is a roadmap to guide the City’s housing, community, and economic development investments during the next five years. All investments of HUD funding are used to address the priority needs listed in the City’s five-year Consolidated Plan. The limited funding resources continue to provide challenges to fully address the level of need identified in the Consolidated Plan.

EXHIBIT 1     City Council 23 – 191 6/3/2025 172 AP- 50 Geographic Distribution Description of the geographic areas of the entitlement (including areas of low- income and minority concentration) where assistance will be directed. The City has not established specific target areas in which to focus the investment of CDBG funds. For the 2025 Program Year, the City will invest 100 percent of non-administrative funds to directly benefit low-and moderate-income individuals throughout the City. Infrastructure improvements and public facilities will be focused on areas with a concentration of residents with low- and moderate-incomes or sites that serve a presumed group. Housing assistance will be made available to income-qualified households throughout the City. Table 53 - Geographic Distribution Target Area Percentage of Funds Citywide 100% Rationale for the priorities for allocating investments geographically HUD allows CDBG grantees to implement certain activities, such as initial construction or expansion of community facilities and infrastructure that benefit certain neighborhoods, but not the entire City, provided the service area for the facility or infrastructure is primarily residential, and where at least 51 percent of residents are low- and moderate-income. It is the City’s intent to fund activities in the areas and for the populations most directly affected by the needs of low-income residents and those with other special needs. Where appropriate the Annual Action Plan will direct investment to an area benefit neighborhood. The area benefit category is the most used national objective for activities benefiting a residential neighborhood. An area benefit activity is one that benefits all residents, where at least 51 percent are low- and moderate-income. Public infrastructure improvements are an area benefit activity when they are in a predominantly low- and moderate-income neighborhood. EXHIBIT 1     City Council 23 – 192 6/3/2025 173 AP-55 Affordable Housing The 2025-2029 Strategic Plan provides the framework for investing CDBG and HOME funds in Santa Ana. The affordable housing development, maintenance, and preservation goal identified in the Strategic Plan that will be addressed by the CDBG Housing Rehabilitation, CDBG Down Payment Assistance, HOME Affordable Housing, and HOME CHDO projects. Below is a summary of the City’s planned actions in the coming year. Table 54 - One Year Goals for Affordable Housing by Support Requirement One Year Goals for the Number of Households to be Supported Homeless 0 Non-Homeless 41 Special-Needs 0 Total 41 Table 55 - One Year Goals for Affordable Housing by Support Type One Year Goals for the Number of Households Supported Through Rental Assistance 0 The Production of New Units 28 Rehab of Existing Units 5 Acquisition of Existing Units 3 Total 41 Discussion Santa Ana residents have a significant need for high quality and affordable housing. In Program Year 2025, the City anticipates assisting five owner occupied households to rehabilitate their homes and three households to purchase a home. This assistance will be provided to eligible households with low- to moderate-incomes. EXHIBIT 1     City Council 23 – 193 6/3/2025 174 AP- 60 Public Housing SAHA is a Housing Choice Voucher (HCV) only entity. It administers tenant- and project- based and special purpose vouchers. There are 10 project-based voucher sites. Special purpose vouchers include Mainstream Five-Year (MS5) and Veteran Affairs Supportive Housing. Additionally, SAHA administers Foster Youth to Independence and Emergency Housing Vouchers. SAHA’s mission is to “provide affordable housing for the most vulnerable members of our community to use as a platform to obtain self-sufficiency and independence from our assistance.” Actions planned during the next year to address the needs of public housing. Actions to encourage public housing residents to become more involved in management and participate in homeownership. The SAHA administers the FSS program. This is a voulntary program available to families in recipet of a HCV program to households become economic independent through financial literacy. The Housing Authority also support a resident adviosry board. If the Public Housing Authority (PHA) is designated as troubled, describe the manner in which financial assistance will be provided or other assistance. The SAHA is not designated as troubled. EXHIBIT 1     City Council 23 – 194 6/3/2025 175 AP- 65 Homeless and Other Special Needs Activities The City of Santa Ana places a high priority on assisting households experiencing or at risk of experiencing homelessness, and households with other non-homeless special needs. According to the results of the January 2024, PIT Count in approximately7,322 individuals were experiencing homelessness. Analysis of available data and consultation with organizations providing services for special needs populations revealed a need for a range of services including but not limited to those concerned with disabled adults. The City strives to meet these needs through the access to public housing, expanded access to affordable housing, and public services and services specifically for individuals and households experiencing and at risk of experiencing homelessness. Describe the jurisdiction’s one-year goals and actions for reducing and ending homelessness including reaching out to homeless persons (especially unsheltered persons) and assessing their individual needs. Preventing and ending homelessness is a HUD priority addressed nationally through coordination of regional strategies and carried out locally by government agencies and a wide variety of community-based organizations and faith-based groups. Consistent with this approach, the City supports the CoC and its member organizations that address homelessness. In alignment with this strategy, the City established the homeless services goal. The street outreach aspects of that goal will be implemented through the activities of the Interval Housing, Covenant House, and SAPD HEART program Addressing the emergency shelter and transitional housing needs of homeless persons The City established the homeless services goal to address the need to increase access to and the supply of homeless services and facilities. The emergency shelter aspects of that goal will be implemented through the activities of the Interval Housing, Covenant House, and SAPD HEART program. Helping homeless persons (especially chronically homeless individuals and families, families with children, veterans and their families, and unaccompanied youth) make the transition to permanent housing and independent living, including shortening the period of time that individuals and families experience homelessness, facilitating access for homeless individuals and families to affordable housing units, and preventing individuals and families who were recently homeless from becoming homeless again In alignment with the CoC strategy, the City established the homeless services goal. The rapid rehousing and homelessness prevention aspects of that goal will be implemented through the activities of the Volunteers of America Los Angeles, and WISEPlace. EXHIBIT 1     City Council 23 – 195 6/3/2025 176 Helping low-income individuals and families avoid becoming homeless, especially extremely low-income individuals and families and those who are: being discharged from publicly funded institutions and systems of care (such as health care facilities, mental health facilities, foster care and other youth facilities, and corrections programs and institutions); or, receiving assistance from public or private agencies that address housing, health, social services, employment, education, or youth needs. The County in collaboration with the CoC maintains Discharge Coordination Policies for the systems of care it administers, such as discharge from the Corrections, Foster Care, and the Mental Health systems. The City supports the CoC’s advocacy for development of consistent policy implementation by hospital administrators for best practices, such as recuperative care, and co-location of health services near affordable housing developments. During the program year 2025 the City will direct ESG funds to Volunteers of America Los Angeles and WISEPlace to provide rapid rehousing, and homelessness prevention services to qualified households. EXHIBIT 1     City Council 23 – 196 6/3/2025 177 AP- 75 Barriers to Affordable Housing A barrier to affordable housing is a public policy or nongovernmental condition that constrains the development or rehabilitation of affordable housing, such as land use controls, property taxes, state prevailing wage requirements, environmental protection, cost of land and availability of monetary resources. Barriers to affordable housing differ from impediments to fair housing choice in that barriers are typically lawful and impediments to fair housing choice are usually unlawful. The City’s 2021-2029 Housing Element includes an identification and prioritization of significant contributing factors that impede fair housing and/or result in disproportionate housing needs. Through discussions with stakeholders and fair housing advocates, community feedback, and the assessment of fair housing included in the Housing Element, the City identified the following fair housing issues: -Displacement risk -Lack of safe and sanitary housing -Housing overcrowding -Low household incomes -Exposure to environmental hazards -Lack of quality education and job training The primary factor contributing to these housing issues is the limited availability of resources to subsidize housing development to the point that units are affordable to low- and moderate-income households. The elimination of local Redevelopment Agencies by the State of California resulted in the loss of a crucial resource for the development and preservation of affordable housing. This was the most significant public policy change impacting affordable housing and residential investment. While there are mechanisms whereby certain affordable housing assets tied to the former Redevelopment Agencies may be utilized today, these resources are finite and scarce. Actions it planned to remove or ameliorate the negative effects of public policies that serve as barriers to affordable housing such as land use controls, tax policies affecting land, zoning ordinances, building codes, fees and charges, growth limitations, and policies affecting the return on residential investment. As described in the 2021-2029 Housing Element, the City is taking several actions to address the contributing factors to fair housing issues and affirmatively further fair housing throughout the city. These actions are summarized below. To address the housing overpayment/burden and the risk of displacement or homelessness that new development and overpaying for housing may cause, the City plans to pursue the following strategies: EXHIBIT 1     City Council 23 – 197 6/3/2025 178 Housing Stabilization. Implement the rent stabilization and just cause eviction ordinances to preserve affordable housing through regulating rent increases and establishing just cause eviction regulations. -Housing Opportunity Ordinance. Require eligible rental and ownership housing projects to include affordable units. -Housing Priority. Administer local preference for affordable housing created under the AHOCO or with City funding. -Community Land Trusts and Collective Ownership. Partner with community-based organizations to support a community land trust program and pursue collective ownership models to promote ownership options and opportunities. -Shelters and Support Services. Provide funding for creation and/or the provision of shelters, permanent supportive housing, and services for those experiencing homelessness or that are at risk of becoming homeless. To address the issues of safe and sanitary housing, the City plans to pursue the following strategies: -Tenant Protections. Provide resources to residential tenants regarding landlord- tenant laws and responsibilities to ensure units are being maintained and up to code, and if not, tenants are aware of their rights and options for recourse. -Code Enforcement. Enforce building and property maintenance standards and remove blight and unhealthy or dangerous housing conditions, and work with County Health Department to identify violations and streamline resolutions. -Home Rehabilitation Grant Program. Provide grants to assist in the repair and rehabilitation of single- and multi-family homes as well as mobile homes for lower- income households. -Emergency and Transitional Housing. Continue providing funding and services for providers of emergency shelters, permanent supportive housing, and support services for those at risk of becoming homeless. To address the housing overcrowding issue, the City plans to pursue the following strategies: -Overcrowding Conditions. Facilitate development of accessory dwelling units and additions to existing homes to alleviate overcrowded housing conditions. -Diverse Housing Types. Facilitate diverse types, prices, and sizes of housing for the different needs in the community. -Affordable Component. Continue applying AHOCO to include affordable units as part of new housing developments. To address the issues of housing access and affordability created by lower household incomes the City plans to pursue the following strategies: EXHIBIT 1     City Council 23 – 198 6/3/2025 179 -Affordable Housing Production. Provide financial assistance to support the production and/or rehabilitation of affordable housing for extremely low-, very low- , and low-income families. -Rent Stabilization and Just Cause Eviction. Adopt a rent stabilization ordinance(s) to preserve affordable housing through regulating rent increases and establishing just cause eviction regulations. -Down Payment Assistance. Assist low-income households with down payment assistance loans to facilitate ownership opportunities. -Supportive Services. Allocate funding to agencies that provide services to people experiencing homelessness or that are at risk of becoming homeless. To address Environmental Justice (EJ) issues, the City underwent an extensive multiyear engagement effort as part of its comprehensive General Plan update, with the last year focusing on engaging EJ communities and listening to their experiences and issues regarding environmental health and quality of life. The City has developed over 75 policies and over 70 programs that are informed by the feedback received from the community and that address pollution and population variables in the CalEnviroScreen model that are in the upper quartile rank in the identified EJ areas. With the completion of the General Plan, the City will begin the process of addressing the disproportionate environmental burden that residents in these communities have experienced. To address educational and economic opportunity barriers that lead to housing and affordability issues, the City is including an Economic Prosperity Element in the updated General Plan. The element includes programs for workforce development, small business creation and retention, and incentives to hire local. In addition, the updated General Plan includes an element called the Community Element. The Community Element includes numerous policies and programs to directly address the education and jobs training issue. For example, there are policies and programs to support parent participation programs to increase high school and college graduation rates, expanding access to libraries and learning centers, promoting skill- based education programs, and investing in lifelong learning programs. EXHIBIT 1     City Council 23 – 199 6/3/2025 180 AP-85 Other Actions In the implementation of the 2025 Annual Action Plan, the City will invest CDBG, HOME, and ESG resources to address obstacles to meeting underserved needs, reduce the number of poverty-level families, develop institutional structure, and enhance coordination between agencies. Priority needs established in the 2025-2029 Consolidated Plan form the basis for establishing objectives and outcomes in the Action Plan. Those needs are as follows: -Expand the supply of affordable housing -Preserve the supply of affordable housing -Improve public facilities and infrastructure -Increase access to and supply of homeless services and facilities -Access to supply of public services -Promote economic opportunity Actions planned to address obstacles to meeting underserved needs. The primary obstacles to meeting the underserved needs of low- and moderate-income people include lack of funding from federal, state, and other local sources, the lack of availability of home improvement financing in the private lending industry, and the high cost of housing. The City will continue to work to leverage public and private resources through grant and partnership opportunities. The City will continue to promote fair housing practices for sale and rental housing and to facilitate community awareness of fair housing. The City of City will continue to use CDBG funds to contract with the Fair Housing Council of Orange County for this program year to provide fair housing and tenant/ landlord services to residents. Actions planned to foster and maintain affordable housing. In the implementation of the 2025 Annual Action Plan, the City will invest CDBG and HOME funds to preserve and maintain affordable housing through the CDBG Housing Rehabilitation, CDBG Down Payment Assistance, HOME Affordable Housing, HOME CHDO, and Fair Housing projects. Actions planned to reduce lead-based paint hazards.

EXHIBIT 1     City Council 23 – 200 6/3/2025 181 Actions planned to reduce the number of poverty-level families. The implementation of CDBG, HOME, and ESG activities meeting the goals established in the Strategic Plan and this Annual Action Plan will help reduce the number of poverty-level families by supporting: -Affordable housing development, maintenance, and preservation -Code enforcement -Public service programs -Homeless services and facilities -Economic development programs -Public facilities and infrastructure improvement -Planning, administration and fair housing In addition to these local efforts, mainstream state and federal resources also contribute to reducing the number of individuals and families in poverty. Federal programs, such as the Earned Income Tax Credit and Head Start, provide pathways out of poverty for families who are ready to pursue employment and educational opportunities. Additionally, in California, the primary programs that assist families in poverty are CalWORKS, CalFresh (formerly food stamps), and Medi-Cal. Together, these programs provide individuals and families with employment assistance, subsidy for food, medical care, childcare and cash payments to meet basic needs such as housing, nutrition, and transportation. Actions planned to develop institutional structure. The institutional delivery system in Santa Ana is highly functioning and collaborative, particularly the relationship between local government and the nonprofit sector, which is comprised of a network of capable organizations that are delivering a full range of services to residents. Strong City departments anchor the administration of HUD grant programs, housing, and community and economic development activities that are implemented by the City support to enhance the institutional structure. The City will collaborate interdepartmentally, with residents, and with nonprofit agencies receiving CDBG, HOME, and ESG funds through the 2025 Annual Action Plan to ensure the needs of low-and- moderate-income residents are met as envisioned within the 2025-2029 Consolidated Plan. Actions planned to enhance coordination between public and private housing and social service agencies. City staff works closely with the other organizations to improve regulatory compliance, monitoring, cooperation and partnerships among agencies and technical capacity of organizations involved in project delivery. To enhance coordination between public and private housing and social service agencies, the City will continue consulting with and inviting the participation of a wide variety of agencies and organizations involved in the delivery of housing and supportive services to low- and moderate-income residents in upland—particularly the CDBG low- and moderate-income areas. EXHIBIT 1     City Council 23 – 201 6/3/2025 182 AP- 90 Program Specific Requirements In the implementation of programs and activities under the 2025 Annual Action Plan, the City will follow all HUD regulations concerning the use of program income, forms of investment, and overall low-and-moderate-income benefit for the CDBG program.

Specify the years covered that include this Annual Action Plan.70% 3. Overall benefit period 2024, 2025, 2026 HOME Investment Partnerships Program (HOME) Reference 24 CFR 91.220(l)(2) 1. A description of other forms of investment being used beyond those identified in Section 92.205 is as follows: The City of Santa Ana does not use HOME funds in any other manner other than those described in Section 92.205(b). 2. A description of the guidelines that will be used for resale or recapture of HOME funds when used for homebuyer activities as required in 92.254, is as follows: The City incorporates a recapture requirement into written agreements and long-term affordability covenants for homebuyer assistance activities administered by the City as EXHIBIT 1     City Council 23 – 202 6/3/2025 183 required by 24 CFR 92.254. For any homebuyer assistance activity implemented by subrecipients or CHDOs, this recapture requirement shall also be used. HOME affordability requirements are imposed based on the amount of direct HOME subsidy pursuant to HUD regulations as follows: Assistance under $25,000: 5-year affordability period Assistance between $25,000 - $50,000: 10-year affordability period Assistance over $50,000: 15-year affordability period The amount subject to recapture is the direct HOME subsidy received by the homebuyer. Direct HOME subsidy includes the HOME investment that enabled the homebuyer to purchase the property. This includes down payment assistance, closing costs, or other HOME assistance provided directly to the homebuyer or the difference between the fair market value of the property (as determined by appraisal) and a reduced sales price, but excludes any HOME assistance provided to develop the unit. The recapture provision ensures that the entire amount of the City's direct HOME subsidy to homebuyers is recaptured if the housing does not continue to be the principal residence of the family for the duration of the applicable period of affordability (e.g., the home is sold, the home is foreclosed, the assisted owner is no longer residing in the assisted residence, or for any other breach of the agreement with the City). The HOME-assisted homebuyer may sell their unit at any time during the period of affordability, to any willing buyer, and at the price the market will bear. The recapture provision requires that the City’s direct HOME subsidy and any interest due under the HOME loan (that has not previously been repaid) is returned to the City from net proceeds, subject to the limitation that if there are no net proceeds or the net proceeds are insufficient to repay the HOME investment due, the City may only recapture the net proceeds, if any. Net proceeds are defined as the sales price minus superior loan repayment (other than HOME funds), and any closing costs. In the event of a mortgage default, a provision in the written agreement and long-term affordability covenant stipulates that the City has the right of first refusal before foreclosure and may use additional HOME funds or other resources to acquire the housing in order to preserve the housing’s affordability. The home then will be resold to an eligible buyer with a new long-term affordability covenant that imposes a period of affordability in accordance with the total HOME investment, including the direct homebuyer assistance provided to the homebuyer at the initial sale, plus any additional HOME funds invested to purchase the property out of foreclosure. Recaptured funds will be used for any HOME eligible activity. If the funds were provided as a grant or zero interest loan, then the recaptured funds will be receipted into IDIS and treated like program income, except that no portion of the funds will be used for administrative costs. If the recaptured funds were provided as an interest-bearing loan, EXHIBIT 1     City Council 23 – 203 6/3/2025 184 then the funds will be receipted (principal and interest) into IDIS as program income. Up to ten percent of the program income may be used for administrative costs. These recaptured funds are identified in the City’s accounting system by a unique recaptured revenue object number. Any recaptured funds will be used by the City before committing HOME funds from the City’s line of credit. When the City uses a resale restriction, the City allows property sales to eligible income households, provided the sales price does not exceed an affordable housing cost to the proposed transferee ("Permitted Transfers"). If a homebuyer wishes to transfer the property during the affordability period, they must notify the City beforehand by submitting a Notice of Intent to Transfer. This notice should include the identity of the proposed transferee, their household income, and the proposed sales price so that the City may determine that the homebuyer’s household income and the sales price meet the affordable housing cost criteria. The term of the period of affordability is determined according to the amount of HOME funds invested (see chart above under Recapture) and a long-term affordability covenant will be recorded against the property in the County real estate records. The covenant will impose a resale formula that provides a fair return on investment (including the homeowner’s investment and cost of capital improvements) and ensure the housing will remain affordable to a reasonable range of low-income homebuyers. 3. A description of the guidelines for resale or recapture that ensures the affordability of units acquired with HOME funds? See 24 CFR 92.254(a)(4) are as follows: See above 4. Plans for using HOME funds to refinance existing debt secured by multifamily housing that is rehabilitated with HOME funds along with a description of the refinancing guidelines required that will be used under 24 CFR 92.206(b), are as follows: Not applicable. The City will not be using HOME funds for this activity. If the City elects to refinance existing debt, it will provide its policies and procedures as part of an amendment to its Action Plan. 4. If the jurisdiction is unable to meet the homeless participation requirement in 24 CFR 576.405(a), the jurisdiction must specify its plan for reaching out to and consulting with homeless or formerly homeless individuals in considering policies and funding decisions regarding facilities and services funded under ESG. The City consults and works with the County and CoC homeless services staff as well as local homeless service providers, advocacy groups, facilities and other stakeholders in determining its strategic approach, policies and funding decisions. A previously homeless individual participated on the ESG funding review panel. Individuals who were previously homeless provide assistance in outreach and engagement services and provide feedback EXHIBIT 1     City Council 23 – 204 6/3/2025 185 to Staff. In addition, the CoC’s strategy reflects the participation of all 34 cities in Orange County as well as individuals who are homeless or previously homeless, schools, and a host of other organizations and stakeholders. 5. If applicable to a planned HOME TBRA activity, a description of the preference for persons with special needs or disabilities. (See 24 CFR 92.209(c)(2)(i) and CFR 91.220(l)(2)(vii)). N/A 6. If applicable to a planned HOME TBRA activity, a description of how the preference for a specific category of individuals with disabilities (e.g. persons with HIV/AIDS or chronic mental illness) will narrow the gap in benefits and the preference is needed to narrow the gap in benefits and services received by such persons. (See 24 CFR 92.209(c)(2)(ii) and 91.220(l)(2)(vii)). N/A 7. If applicable, a description of any preference or limitation for rental housing projects. (See 24 CFR 92.253(d)(3) and CFR 91.220(l)(2)(vii)). Note: Preferences cannot be administered in a manner that limits the opportunities of persons on any basis prohibited by the laws listed under 24 CFR 5.105(a). N/A Emergency Solutions Grant (ESG) Reference 91.220(l)(4) 1 Include written standards for providing ESG assistance (may include as attachment) ESG funds will be used for eligible activities under five program components: street outreach, emergency shelter, homelessness prevention, rapid re-housing assistance, and Homeless Management Information System (HMIS) costs, as well as allowable administrative costs and activities. ESG applications go through an open and transparent proposal process. The Community Development Agency is responsible for ensuring that the ESG program is implemented in accordance with all Federal rules and regulations. 2. If the Continuum of Care has established centralized or coordinated assessment system that meets HUD requirements, describe that centralized or coordinated assessment system. Orange County, in collaboration with the CoC and other ESG entitlement jurisdictions including the City of Santa Ana will utilize assessment and evaluation instruments developed in consultation with the HIMIS lead agency and previously funded HPRP grantees. The County ensures ongoing coordination of program design and eligibly standards. The City will provide funding for the administration of the HMIS data entry system. EXHIBIT 1     City Council 23 – 205 6/3/2025 186 3. Identify the process for making sub-awards and describe how the ESG allocation available to private nonprofit organizations (including community and faith-based organizations). On November 20, 2024, the City of Irvine released a combined ESG Request for Proposals (RFP) in partnership with the Cities of Anaheim, Garden Grove, and Santa Ana to support the Orange County Continuum of Care’s goal to end homelessness. This RFP was marketed to nonprofit organizations (including community and faith-based organizations) operating throughout Orange County. The RFP included four possible one-year renewals. Current subrecipients awarded funding for renewal years will be required to submit a new budget and program summary. the Collaborative reserves the right to redistribute funding and/or issue a new RFP at its discretion. 5. Describe performance standards for evaluating ESG. The City utilizes the HUD Monitoring ESG handbook to monitor each program’s performance to ensure that goals are on track and funds are used for eligible activities. On a quarterly basis, invoices are reviewed to ensure program compliance. In addition, the quarterly financial invoices are monitored by City Accounting staff. On-site monitoring of non-profit organizations is done by staff and by consultants for both program and financial records on an as-needed basis, or at least every three years. The City works closely with the CoC and other ESG jurisdictions in the County to standardize processes and approaches as much as possible. Discussion In the implementation of programs and activities under the 2025 Annual Action Plan, the City will adhere to regulations set forth by the Community Planning and Development (CPD) agency within HUD.

Executive Summary The Assessment of Fair Housing (AFH) provides communities an opportunity to assess their progress toward the goals of eliminating housing discrimination and promoting access to housing opportunity for both current and future residents. Jurisdictions that receive funding from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD), including Community Development Block Grant (CDBG), HOME Investment Partnership s Program (HOME), and Emergency Solutions Grant (ESG) funds, complete an AFH at least once every five years, consistent with the Consolidated Plan cycle, as part of their obligations under the Housing and Community Development Act of 1974 and the Cranston - Gonzalez National Affordable Housing Act. As a fair housing planning document, t he AFH facilitates HUD grantee compliance with statutory and regulatory requirement s to affirmatively further fair housing. Affirmatively furthering fair housing entails taking meaningful actions, in addition to combating discrimination, that overcome patterns of segregation and foster inclusive communities free from barriers that restrict access to opportunity based on protected characteristics. The duty to affirmatively further fair housing applies to all activities and programs within a jurisdiction related to housing and urban development. This AFH is a collaborative effort among the following jurisdictions: • Orange County and the Urban County Program participating cities of Brea, Cypress, Dana Point, La Palma, Laguna Beach, Laguna Hills, Laguna Woods, Los Alamitos, Placentia, San Juan Capistrano, Seal Beach, Stanton, Villa Park, and Yorba Linda. • The HUD Entitlement Cities of Aliso Viejo, Anaheim, Buena Park, Costa Mesa, Fountain Valley, Fullerton, Garden Grove, Huntington Beach, Irvine, La Habra, Laguna Niguel, Lake Forest, Mission Viejo, Newport Beach, City of Orange, Rancho Santa Margarita, San Clemente, Santa Ana, Tustin, Westminster. To prepare the AFH, jurisdictions first must identify fair housing issues. A fair housing issue refers to a condition within a specific geographic area that restricts fair housing choice or limits access to opportunity. Fair housing issues may include ongoing local or regional segregation/concentration or lack of integration, racially or ethnically concentrated areas of poverty, disparities in access to opportunity, disproportionate housing needs, and evidence of discrimination or violations of civil rights law or regulations related to housing. To identify fair housing issues, HUD recommends that jurisdictions gather and analyze data. For this AFH, the jurisdictions analyzed data on the following topics: • Demographics • Segregation or Concentration/Integration • Racially and/or Ethnically Concentrated Areas of Poverty • Disparities in Access to Opportunity EXHIBIT 6     City Council 23 – 222 6/3/2025 Orange County 2 25-29 Regional AFH • Housing Needs • Discrimination Complaints The data utilized in the analysis are from the U.S. Census Bureau American Community Survey (ACS), HUD’s AFFH Data and Mapping Tool, the California Department of Housing and Community Development (HCD) AFFH Data Viewer 2.0 , housing discrimination complaint data provided by HUD’s Office of Fair Housing and Equal Opportunity (FHEO), and information gathered through the community participation process (described below). The ACS data utilized in the assessment are from the 2018-2022 five-year estimates, which were the most current data across all participating jurisdictions at the time the analysis was conducted. After analyzing the data and identifying fair housing issues, jurisdictions then must identify contributing factors. A contributing factor is any condition that creates, contributes to, perpetuates, or increases the severity of one or more fair housing issues. For each fair housing issue and its contributing factors, jurisdictions must then develop fair housing goals. A fair housing goal is a specific, meaningful action that can reasonably be expected to create meaningful positive change that affirmatively furthers fair housing by increasing fair housing choice or reducing disparities in access to opportunity. For the contributing factors and fair housing goals in this AFH, the jurisdictions built upon the extensive work they have already done preparing their most recent Housing Elements, which cover an eight-year planning period. As part of the state-mandated Housing Element, California jurisdictions must conduct a fair housing assessment that includes an analysis of fair housing issues, identification of factors that create and/or contribute to those issues, and development of goals and meaningful actions to affirmatively further fair housing. Progress toward reaching the goals identified in the Housing Element must then be periodically reported to the state. A summary of the fair housing issues, significant contributing factors, and fair housing goals for each jurisdiction can be found in Section IV of this AFH. EXHIBIT 6     City Council 23 – 223 6/3/2025 Orange County 3 25-29 Regional AFH II. Community Participation Process To develop the AFH, information was also gathered from residents, housing professionals, and service providers. Incorporating information from these sources is important for ensuring that the AFH reflects community needs and knowledge that may not be discernible from other data sources. The community participation process for this AFH involved the following efforts: A. Stakeholder Consultation Four one-on-one interviews, and two focus groups were conducted during January and February 2025 with organizations that provide fair housing services and/or housing and services to protected class groups throughout the County. The interviews and focus group sessions discussed the fair housing issues frequently encountered by the organizations, the underlying causes for those issues, and ongoing efforts currently to address them. Participants also discussed additional actions the ir organizations would recommend. Invitations to participate in the stakeholder consultation activities were sent to approximately 78 organizations identified by the jurisdictions involved in the planning process. Fourteen organizations, as well as staff from two of the participating jurisdictions, participated in these consultations, including: Fair Housing Council of Orange County, Fair Housing Foundation, Orange County Families Forward, Orange County United Way, Family Assistance Ministry, The HUB OC, National Core, NeighborWorks Orange County, Thomas House Family Shelter, Domus Development, City of Garden Grove, City of Lake Forest, Dayle McIntosh Center, CalOptima, and Assistance League of Orange County. Information gathered through these consultations is incorporated throughout this report. B. Community Meetings A total of six community meetings were held in March 2025 to gather public input on the fair housing issues impacting residents of Orange County, and the factors that create, contribute to, perpetuate, or increase the severity of those issues. These meetin gs included two virtual meetings and four in-person meetings held at the dates, times, and locations listed below. In-person community meetings: • March 5, 2025, from 10:30 a.m. – 11:30 a.m. at Santa Ana City Council Chamber, 22 Civic Center Plaza, Santa Ana, CA 92701 • March 5, 2025, from 6:30 p.m. – 7:30 p.m. at Santa Ana City Council Chamber, 22 Civic Center Plaza, Santa Ana, CA 92701 • March 6, 2025, from 10:30 a.m. – 11:30 a.m. at La Habra City Hall, Festival Room, 110 E.

Demographic and Housing Summary Table 1 – Demographics, shows demographic information for the population of Orange County overall, the Orange County Urban County jurisdictions0F 1, the participating HUD Entitlement Cities, and the region1F 2. These data are from the Census Bureau’s 2018-2022 American Community Survey 5-year Estimates. Table 2 – Demographic Trends, shows similar data over time, dating back to 1990. These tables indicate the following: Population Orange County has a population of 3,175,227. The largest cities in the County are Anaheim (population 347,111), Santa Ana (population 311,379), and Irvine (population 304,527). The Urban County population is 585,178. Race/Ethnicity Orange County’s population is majority-minority; however, the largest population group is White (38.46%). Hispanic residents comprise the second largest population group (33.93%), followed by Asian American and Pacific Islanders (AAPI), who make up 21.77% of the County population. African Americans account for 1.54% of the County population. Compared to the region, Orange County has a higher proportion of White and AAPI residents, and a smaller proportion of Hispanic and Black residents. Among the participating HUD Entitlement Cities, in comparison to the County overall: • The Urban County, Aliso Viejo, Costa Mesa, Huntington Beach, Laguna Niguel, Lake Forest, Mission Viejo, Newport Beach, Rancho Santa Margarita, and San Clemente have a significantly higher2F 3 proportion of White residents. • Anaheim, La Habra, and Santa Ana have a significantly higher proportion of Hispanic residents. • Buena Park, Fountain Valley, Garden Grove, Irvine, and Westminster have a higher proportion of AAPI residents. Since 1990, the County population has become more diverse, transitioning from a White majority in 1990 to a majority-minority population today. The number of White residents in 1 The Orange County Urban County comprises the County unincorporated area, twelve (12) cities with populations under 50,000 (participating cities) and two (2) cities, Placentia and Yorba Linda, with populations over 50,000 (metropolitan cities). 2 The region is defined by HUD as the Los Angeles-Long Beach-Anaheim Metropolitan Statistical Area (MSA), which comprises Los Angeles and Orange counties. 3 For this analysis, “significantly higher” means that the percentage of residents of a particular race/ethnicity in a city is at least 10% higher than the percentage of residents of the same race/ethnicity in the County overall. EXHIBIT 6     City Council 23 – 227 6/3/2025 Orange County 7 25-29 Regional AFH the County declined each decade, while the number of Hispanic and AAPI residents grew. The number of Black residents increased between 1990-2010 but declined over the past decade. These same trends are generally shared with the region and across the Urban County and HUD Entitlement Cities, with the following exceptions: • In the region, the Black population has been declining since 2000. • In Aliso Viejo, the population of all racial/ethnic groups, including White, has increased in each decade. • In Costa Mesa, Garden Grove, Huntington Beach, and Newport Beach , the AAPI population has declined over the last decade. • In Fountain Valley and Garden Grove, the Black population has been declining since 2000. • In Irvine, the White and Black population s have been increasing since 2000, in addition to growing Hispanic and AAPI populations. • In La Habra, the Black population continued to grow after 2010. • In Laguna Niguel and Lake Forest, the White population increased during the 1990s before declining over the subsequent decades, and the Black population has continued to grow over the last decade. • In Rancho Santa Margarita, the White population increased during the 1990s before declining over the last two decades. • In San Clemente, the White population grew between 1990-2010, before shrinking slightly over the last decade; and the AAPI population fell over the last decade. • In Santa Ana, the Black population has been falling since 1990, and the Hispanic population has been declining since 2000. • In Tustin, the Black population has been declining since 1990. National Origin Orange County has a foreign-born population of 937,254 (29.52% of the total population3F 4). The primary countries of origin for the foreign-born population are Mexico (9.17%) and Vietnam (4.69%). In the region, 32.52% of the population is foreign born, which is slightly higher than in Orange County. Among the participating HUD Entitlement Cities, in comparison to the County overall: • Huntington Beach, Laguna Niguel, Newport Beach, Orange, and San Clemente have significantly lower percentages of foreign-born residents. 4 Source: U.S Census Bureau, 2018-2022 American Community Survey 5-Year Estimates, Table B05006 EXHIBIT 6     City Council 23 – 228 6/3/2025 Orange County 8 25-29 Regional AFH • Garden Grove, Irvine, Santa Ana, and Westminster have significantly higher percentages of foreign-born residents. In these cities, the main countries of origin for the foreign-born population are: o Garden Grove: Vietnam and Mexico o Irvine: China (excluding Taiwan), Korea, and India o Santa Ana: Mexico and Vietnam o Westminster: Vietnam and Mexico Since 1990, the County’s foreign-born population has increased in each decade, with the most dramatic increase occurring during the 1990s. In comparison, • The foreign-born population in the region grew between 1990-2010 and has been declining since 2010. • The foreign-born population has declined in the following jurisdictions: o The Urban County, Anaheim, La Habra, Orange, and San Clemente, where the foreign-born population has been declining since 2010. o Costa Mesa and Santa Ana, where the foreign-born population has been declining since 2000. However, in Santa Ana, foreign-born residents still make up approximately half of the total population. • In Irvine, the foreign-born population has continued to grow rapidly, nearly doubling since 2010. Limited English Proficiency Individuals who have Limited English Proficiency (LEP) are those who primarily speak a language other than English and speak English “less than very well .” In Orange County, there are 539,484 LEP individuals4F 5, which is equal to approximately 16.99% of the population. The primary languages spoken by the LEP population in the County are Spanish (11.72%) and Vietnamese (3.45%). In the region, 21.95% of the population is LEP, which is slightly higher than in Orange County. Among the participating HUD Entitlement Cities, in comparison to the County overall: • Aliso Viejo, Newport Beach, and San Clemente, have significantly lower percentages of LEP residents. • Anaheim, Buena Park, Garden Grove, Santa Ana, and Westminster have significantly higher percentages of LEP residents. In these cities, the primary languages spoken by the LEP population are: o Anaheim: Spanish and Vietnamese 5 Source: U.S Census Bureau, 2018-2022 American Community Survey 5-Year Estimates, Table S1601 EXHIBIT 6     City Council 23 – 229 6/3/2025 Orange County 9 25-29 Regional AFH o Buena Park: Spanish and Korean o Garden Grove: Vietnamese and Spanish o Santa Ana: Spanish and Vietnamese o Westminster: Vietnamese and Spanish Between 1990-2010, the County’s LEP population increased. Since 2010, the County’s LEP population has declined, though it remains well above the 1990 LEP population. In comparison: • The LEP population in the region grew during the 1990s but has been declining since 2000. • The LEP population has grown each decade since 1990, including since 2010, in the Urban County jurisdictions, Aliso Viejo, Fountain Valley, Irvine, Laguna Niguel, Lake Forest, Mission Viejo, Rancho Santa Margarita, and Westminster. • The LEP population has been declining since 2000 in Anaheim, Costa Mesa, Huntington Beach, and Santa Ana. • In Garden Grove, Newport Beach, and San Clemente, the LEP population declined between 2000-2010, but has increased since 2010. Age Approximately 63.2% of the Orange County population is between the ages of 18 and 64; 15.38% are aged 65 and older, and 21.42% are younger than 18. The age distribution of the population in the region is similar. In comparison to the County overall, the Urban County, Laguna Niguel, Mission Viejo, and Newport Beach all have slightly older populations, with over one-fifth of their population aged 65 and older. Since 1990, the County’s population has been getting older. Currently, the County’s population has a smaller proportion of the population (when compared to 1990) in both the “Under 18” and “18-64” year-old age categories, and a higher proportion of the population in the “65+” age category. The same general trend is evident in the region and all other jurisdictions, except for Aliso Viejo, where the percentage of the population under age 18 has increased, and the percentage of the population aged 65 and older has decreased, since 1990. Families with Children In Orange County, approximately 41.56% of families have children. This is slightly higher than the region, where 40.02% of families have children. Among the participating HUD Entitlement Cities, in comparison to the County overall: • Aliso Viejo and Tustin have significantly higher percentages of families with children (52.06% and 52.64%, respectively), and in Irvine, over half (50.45%) of families have children. EXHIBIT 6     City Council 23 – 230 6/3/2025 Orange County 10 25-29 Regional AFH • Laguna Niguel, Huntington Beach, Newport Beach, and Westminster have the lowest percentages of families with children, although the percentages are not significantly lower than those for the County overall. The percentage of families with children in the County is lower today than it was in 1990, when 48.04% of families had children. This is also true in the region and the other jurisdictions, with the following exceptions: • Aliso Viejo, Newport Beach, and Tustin, where the current percentage of families with children is higher than it was in 1990.

Table 5 – Publicly Supported Households by Race/Ethnicity , provides the demographics of residents of different types of publicly support housing programs, including Public Housing, Project-Based Section 8, Other Multifamily, and the Housing Choice Voucher (HCV) Program. This table shows that, in Orange County: • The majority of publicly supported housing is provided through the HCV Program (over 20,000 households with HCVs countywide). Additionally, there are approximately 4,000 units in Project-based Section 8 properties and approximately 100 units in Other Multifamily properties. There are no Public Housing units in the County. • A significant portion of households with HCVs are headed by an AAPI individual (41.16%), followed by households headed by a White individual (25.32%), then Hispanic-headed households (21.12%), and then Black households (7.06%). • Project-based Section 8 units have a similar racial composition to the HCV Program overall; however, the percentages of households headed by AAPI and White individuals are higher (47.11% and 33.06% respectively), and households headed by Hispanic and Black individuals are lower (15.19% and 1.77% respectively). Within the participating jurisdictions, the racial/ethnic composition of publicly supported housing units varies: • In the Orange County Urban County jurisdictions, the racial/ethnic composition of households in the HCV Program and in Project-based Section 8 units matches the County overall, with the one exception being that the number of AAPI and White households in Project-based Section 8 units are equal (each comprise 36.75% of those units). • In Aliso Viejo, the only publicly supported housing available is through the HCV Program. Two-thirds of households using HCVs in the city are White. • In Anaheim, there are Project-based Section 8 developments in addition to households using HCVs. In the Project-based Section 8 units, the majority of households are AAPI. In the HCV Program, Hispanic households make up the largest single group of voucher recipients, followed by AAPI and White households. • In Buena Park, the overwhelming majority of households in Project -based Section 8 units are AAPI. In the HCV Program, approximately one-third of households are Hispanic, 25% AAPI, 25% White, and nearly one-fifth of households are Black. • In Costa Mesa, the majority of households in both Project -based Section 8 housing and the HCV Program are White, and there are no Black households in Project -based Section 8 units. EXHIBIT 6     City Council 23 – 252 6/3/2025 Orange County 32 25-29 Regional AFH • In Fountain Valley, the majority of households in both Project -based Section 8 housing and the HCV Program are AAPI, and there are no Black households in Project-based Section 8 units. • In Fullerton, nearly all of the households in Project -based Section 8 units are AAPI and the majority of households in Other Multifamily program units are White. In the HCV Program, White and Hispanic families each make up approximately one-third of households, and Black and AAPI families each make up approximately 14% of households. • In Garden Grove, a large majority of households in both Project-based Section 8 housing and the HCV Program are AAPI (over 80% in each program). • In Huntington Beach, over 50% of households in Project-based Section 8 units are AAPI and around one-third are White. In the HCV Program, over 40% of households are White and around one-third are AAPI. • In Irvine, White households are the majority in Project -based Section 8 and Other Multifamily program units and are the largest share of households in the HCV Program (46.76%). In the HCV Program, Black households are the second largest racial/ethnic group, comprising approximately one-fifth of households. • In La Habra, Hispanic households are the majority of HCV Program participants. The second largest racial/ethnic group is White households, who comprise 25% of households in the program. In Project-based Section 8 units, Hispanic, White, and AAPI each comprise approximately one-third of households. • In Laguna Niguel, the majority of households in both Project -based Section 8 housing and the HCV Program are White. • In Lake Forest, the majority of households in the HCV Program are White. There are no other types of publicly supported housing in the city. • In Mission Viejo, the majority of households in the HCV Program are White. There are no other types of publicly supported housing included in the HUD-provided data. (However, per the City’s Housing Element and other local sources, there are various publicly supported housing developments in the city.) • In Newport Beach, the majority of households in both Project -based Section 8 housing and the HCV Program are White. • In Orange, White and Hispanic households each comprise a slightly more than 40% of households in Project-based Section 8 units, and approximately one-third of households in the HCV Program. AAPI households make up around 25% of households in the HCV Program. • In Rancho Santa Margarita, the majority of households in the HCV Program are White. There are no other types of publicly supported housing in the city. • In San Clemente, the majority of households in both Project -based Section 8 housing and the HCV Program are White. EXHIBIT 6     City Council 23 – 253 6/3/2025 Orange County 33 25-29 Regional AFH • In Santa Ana, the majority of households in Project-based Section 8 units and in the HCV Program are AAPI. The second largest racial/ethnic group in each of these programs is Hispanic households. • In Tustin, the majority of households in Project-based Section 8 units are AAPI (over 70%) and approximately one-fifth are White. In the HCV Program, Hispanic households are the largest group (38%), followed by White households (33%). • In Westminster, AAPI households are the majority in both Project -based Section 8 units and in the HCV Program.

Segregation/Concentration and Integration The following analysis describes segregation/concentration levels, identifies the racial/ethnic groups that experience the highest levels of segregation /concentration, and explains how these levels and patterns have changed over time . Table 6 – Racial/Ethnic Dissimilarity Trends, displays how segregated/concentrated or integrated various racial/ethnic groups are in the region, the Orange County Urban County, and the HUD Entitlement Cities using a Dissimilarity Index, which is calculated using data from the 2010 Decennial Census. The Dissimilarity Index measures the degree to which two groups are evenly distributed across a geographic area and is commonly used for assessing residential segregation/integration between two groups. Dissimila rity index values indicate the following: • Values between 0 and 39 generally indicate high integration (low segregation/concentration) • Values between 40 and 54 generally indicate moderate segregation /concentration • Values between 55 and 100 generally indicate a high level of segregation/concentration Please note two key shortcomings of these data: 1. The data only measure segregation between Black and White, Hispanic, and White, and AAPI and White residents. As a result, no conclusions can be drawn regarding segregation among Black, Hispanic, and AAPI residents. 2. The data measure segregation only within each jurisdiction and do provide insights into racial/ethnic segregation across jurisdictional boundaries. Table 6 shows that, in the region, there are high levels of segregation between Black and White residents and between Hispanic and White residents, and there is moderate segregation between AAPI and White residents. Since 1990, segregation between Black and White residents has declined, while segregation between Hispanic/White and AAPI/White has increased. In Orange County the following jurisdictions are highly integrated, indicating low levels of segregation/concentration among the groups analyzed: • The Urban County jurisdictions – While segregation levels are higher compared to 1990, they have trended downward since 2000 for Black/White and Hispanic/White residents. • Aliso Viejo – Since 1990, concentrations of Hispanic and AAPI residents have been increasing but remain low.

Race/Ethnicity Map 2 – Racial/Ethnic Concentration, is a series of maps showing racial/ethnic concentrations in the region, and in northern, central, and southern Orange County. These maps are published by California HCD using methodology from the Othering & Belonging Institute, which combines various measures of segregation and integration (including a dissimilarity index), and uses data from 2020. On these maps, dark red indicates areas where people of color (POC) experience high levels of segregation /concentration; green indicates areas where White residents experience high levels of segregation /concentration; yellow indicates areas that are racially/ethnically integrated. Map 3 – Predominant Population by Race/Ethnicity , is a series of maps showing the predominant racial/ethnic group by Census Tract in the region, and in northern, central, and southern Orange County. The colors indicate different racial/ethnic groups, and the relative strength of the shading indicates the extent to which one group is dominant over the next most populous group (with darker shading indicating a higher concentration of that racial/ethnic group). These maps were created by California HCD using 2017-2021 ACS data, to facilitate fair housing planning.6F 7 Collectively, the maps illustrate that in Orange County overall, there are areas of high POC segregation/concentration in the central and northern parts of the County (including the cities of Santa Ana, Westminster, Garden Grove, Anaheim, and Fullerton), and there are areas of high White segregation/concentration along the entire coast (including Seal Beach, Huntington Beach, Newport Beach, Laguna Beach, Dana Paint, Capistrano Beach, and San Clemente) and in the southern part of the County (including Mission Viejo, Aliso Viejo, Laguna Niguel, and Rancho Santa Margarita). Within each participating jurisdiction, there are areas of high segregation/integration in the following locations: • In the Orange County Urban County jurisdictions, o There are areas of high White segregation in Dana Point, Laguna Beach, Laguna Hills, Laguna Woods, the unincorporated areas east of Rancho Santa Margarita, North Tustin, Seal Beach, Yorba Linda, northern Placentia, Villa Park, and Orange Park Acres. o There are areas of high POC segregation in Stanton (which are predominantly Hispanic or AAPI), Cypress (which are predominantly AAPI), northern Yorba 7 The maps were downloaded from the AFFH Data Viewer, which can be accessed at https://www.hcd.ca.gov/planning-and-community-development/affirmatively-furthering-fair-housing EXHIBIT 6     City Council 23 – 262 6/3/2025 Orange County 42 25-29 Regional AFH Linda (which are predominantly AAPI), La Palma (which are predominantly AAPI), and San Juan Capistrano (which is predominantly Hispanic). o There are areas of integration including the Atwood neighborhood in Placentia, which is predominantly Hispanic; Brea just northwest of the SR- 90/SR-57 interchange, which is a predominantly Hispanic area; and in Los Alamitos, in the neighborhood north of Joint Forces Training Base Los Alamitos and west of Lexington Drive, which is predominantly Hispanic. • In Aliso Viejo, most of the city is considered an area of high White concentration, with the exception of a few neighborhoods with low-medium concentration (which are predominantly White) in the northern and eastern parts of the city. • In Anaheim, the map shows integrated areas in Southeast Anaheim (where Hispanic residents are the predominant group), in western Anaheim west of Brookhurst St reet (where Hispanic residents are the predominant group in many neighborhoods, and AAPI residents are the predominant group in a few others), and in the neighborhoods between Modjeska Park and Palm Lane Park in the Hermosa Village community (where Hispanic residents are the predominant group).

Map 4 - Publicly Supported Housing, is a series of maps showing the location of federal- and state-subsidized housing in the region, and in northern, central, and southern Orange County. These maps were created by California HCD to facilitate fair housing planning, using data from California Housing Partnership7F 8. On the maps, the size of each dot correlates to the number of publicly-supported housing units in an area —larger dots indicate higher numbers of units. The shading of the Census Tracts indicates the percentage of renter occupied housing units in that Tract that are supported by a HCV, including both tenant-based and project-based vouchers. The darker shading indicates higher percentages of vouchers. The locations of publicly supported housing on these maps align with the areas of segregation and integration on Map 2 (Racial/Ethnic Segregation/Integration), in the following places: 8 The maps were downloaded from the AFFH Data Viewer, which can be accessed at https://www.hcd.ca.gov/planning-and-community-development/affirmatively-furthering-fair-housing EXHIBIT 6     City Council 23 – 273 6/3/2025 Orange County 53 25-29 Regional AFH • In the Orange County Urban County jurisdictions, o There is overlap between the location of publicly supported housing, including a high rate of voucher use, and areas of high POC segregation in the following places: ▪ Cypress – in the neighborhood around King Elementary School, in the north of the city. ▪ Placentia – in the southwest corner of the city ▪ Stanton – throughout the city ▪ San Juan Capistrano – in the Census Tract that encompasses the interchange between I-5 and the Ortega Highway (SR-74) o There is overlap between areas without any publicly supported housing and either low HCV use or no data on HCV use, and areas of high White segregation, the following places: ▪ Rossmoor, Seal Beach, North Tustin, Villa Park, Orange Park Acres, North Laguna Hills, Laguna Woods, and Dana Point • In Aliso Viejo, there are publicly supported units and higher percentages of units with vouchers in the south of city, which is an area of high White concentration. • In Anaheim, there are multiple publicly supported housing developments downtown and north of downtown, which are high POC segregation areas. The map also shows a concentration of vouchers in the high POC segregation area between Santa Ana River and Orangethorpe Avenue, east of Anaheim Canyon Metrolink station and west of Imperial Highway (SR-90). However, this is largely a commercial/industrial area with few housing units. In the western part of the city, around Western High School, there is also a cluster of publicly supported housing developments in a racially integrated area. • In Buena Park, most publicly supported housing units are located in between I-5 and the Artesia Freeway (SR-91), which is a low-medium segregation area like most of the city. • In Costa Mesa, the largest number of publicly supported housing units and the highest concentration of vouchers is in high POC segregation area located downtown and west of downtown. • In Fountain Valley, the location of publicly supported housing units and highest concentrations of vouchers mirrors the high POC segregation areas. • In Fullerton, publicly supported housing units are mostly clustered in the center of the city, which is a low-medium segregation area. • In Garden Grove, there are lots of publicly supported housing units in the center of city along Garden Grove Boulevard , which is a high POC segregation area. There are no publicly supported housing units in West Garden Grove, which is an area of high White segregation. EXHIBIT 6     City Council 23 – 274 6/3/2025 Orange County 54 25-29 Regional AFH • In Huntington Beach, the map shows publicly supported housing units located in the center of the city. Local data identify affordable housing projects distributed broadly across the city. • In Irvine, the high POC segregation areas north of I-405 overlap with the location of publicly supported housing units. In other parts of the city where there is high voucher use and multiple publicly supported housing developments, there is no segregation data available. • In La Habra, publicly supported housing units are located in the city’s center and north neighborhoods, which are all low-medium or high POC segregation areas. • In Laguna Niguel, the map shows one public supported housing development (near the intersection of Pacific Park Drive and La Paz Road ) and a small concentration of voucher use in northwest part of city, which is a low-medium concentration area. City staff report that another development in the western part of the City also receives vouchers. • In Lake Forest, there are publicly supported housing units in the northwest, near the intersection of SR-241 and Alton Parkway. There are a smaller number of units in the south of the city, along El Toro Road. • In Mission Viejo, the map shows two publicly supported housing developments in the southern part of the city. One of these developments, in the southeast, aligns with a low-medium concentration area. City staff report that there are additional publicly supported housing developments that are not reflected in the HUD-provided data. • In Newport Beach, there are two publicly supported housing developments (one east and one west of Newport Center), both of which are in high White segregation areas. • In Orange, all publicly supported housing units and households with vouchers are located to the west and south of Villa Park (which are low-medium segregation areas). There are no units or vouchers in use to the east of Villa Park, where it is a high White segregation area. The largest publicly supported housing development (biggest blue dot) is in the integrated area to the south of Villa Park, running south along Santiago Creek and east along the northside of Chapman Avenue towards El Modena. • In Rancho Santa Margarita, there are no publicly supported housing units. There are some vouchers in use in the northeast part of the city that is a low-medium concentration area • In San Clemente, there is a cluster of publicly supported housing units in the low- medium concentration area north and east of Max Berg Plaza Park. • In Santa Ana, a significant number of publicly supported housing units are located downtown and southeast of downtown, both of which are high POC segregation areas. There is a higher concentration of vouchers, as well as some publicly EXHIBIT 6     City Council 23 – 275 6/3/2025 Orange County 55 25-29 Regional AFH supported housing units, west of the Santa Ana River, which is also a high POC segregation area. • In Tustin, there is a large concentration of publicly supported housing units in the south. Segregation data for this area are unavailable; however, according to Map 3 (Predominant Population by Race/Ethnicity) the population is predominantly AAPI. • In Westminster, the location of publicly supported housing units and areas with highest concentration of vouchers aligns with the high POC segregation areas in the central part of the city. There are no publicly supported housing units, and fewer vouchers in use, in the western parts of the city that are high White segregation , racially integrated, and low-medium segregation areas.

Broadly speaking, the patterns of residential segregation/concentration by race – both between and within jurisdictions in Orange County and across the United States – are due, in part, to: • Historic practices of redlining and legal racial segregation, which created many of the residential patterns that still exist today. • Local land use and zoning laws that have perpetuated patterns of racial segregation, some of which remain in place, while others which have been removed but continue to have lasting effects. • Market factors, including the high cost of land and existing housing throughout Orange County, constrain the development of new affordable housing and limit access for families to existing housing. EXHIBIT 6     City Council 23 – 280 6/3/2025 Orange County 60 25-29 Regional AFH • Discrimination in the private housing market, including source-of-income discrimination, driven in part by a lack of knowledge of state and federal fair housing laws and regulations, which in turn limits housing mobility. • There are numerous ethnic enclaves of Hispanic, Vietnamese, Chinese, and other groups throughout Orange County. These enclaves provide a sense of community and a social network that may help newcomers preserve their cultural identities. However, these active choices should not obscure the significant impact of structural barriers to fair housing choice and discrimination. Through the stakeholder consultations and community meetings, it was also reported that segregation/concentration patterns in the County are due to: • In addition to landlord resistance to renting to HCV Program participants, the gap between HCV subsidy amounts and housing costs further inhibits HCV Program participants from accessing housing in higher cost (and higher opportunity) areas. • Lack of housing mobility for some minority groups based on a lack of credit history coupled with high demand for affordable housing across the County, which permits landlords and property management companies to prioritize applicants based on credit history. Detailed lists of the public or private policies or practices, demographic shifts, economic trends, and other factors that have caused or contributed to segregation /concentration in each of the jurisdictions are included in Section IV. C. Racially or Ethnically Concentrated Areas of Poverty (R/ECAPs) The following analysis identifies R/ECAPs and/or groupings of R/ECAP tracts. HUD defines racially or ethnically concentrated areas of poverty (R/ECAPs) as Census Tracts that meet both of the following criteria: • a non-White population of 50 percent or more, and • a poverty rate that exceeds 40% or a poverty rate that is three or more times the average Tract poverty rate for the metropolitan area, whichever threshold is lower. The analysis in this report uses a measure of segregation and concentrated poverty created by the California Tax Credit Allocation Committee (TCAC) and California HCD. The TCAC/HCD Opportunity Map’s poverty concentration and racial segregation filter aligns with HUD's R/ECAP methodology but is designed to more effectively reflect the level of racial and ethnic diversity in many parts of California. This measure uses the following criteria to define Census Tracts as “High Segregation and Poverty” areas: • Tracts and rural block groups where at least 30 percent of the population is living below the poverty l evel (note that college and graduate students are removed from EXHIBIT 6     City Council 23 – 281 6/3/2025 Orange County 61 25-29 Regional AFH the poverty calculation in the filter in Census Tracts where they comprise at least 25% of the population); and • Tracts that have a Location Quotient (LQ) higher than 1.25 for Black, Hispanic, Asian, or all people of color. The LQ measures relative segregation by calculating how much more segregated a Census Tract is relative to a larger area (in this case, the County). Compared to the measure used by HUD (which is an absolute threshold of non- White population in a Census Tract), this measure better captures inequality operating on individuals at the neighborhood level. Map 5 – High Segregation and Poverty Areas, indicates racially or ethnically concentrated areas of poverty in Orange County (note that the only R/ECAP areas are located in the central part of the County). This map was created by California HCD to facilitate fair housing planning, using the TCAC/HCD Opportunity Map data. This map shows R/ECAPs in the following areas: • Placentia – in the southwestern corner of the city, south of Orangethorpe Avenue • Anaheim – northeast of Disneyland, along Ball R oad and I-5 • Garden Grove – in the northern part of the city to between Brookhurst St reet and Gilbert Street, north of Chapman Avenue • Santa Ana – covering multiple Census Tracts in the downtown • Costa Mesa – on the west side of downtown and the area southwest of downtown (between Newport Avenue (SR-55) and Placentia Avenue, south of 19th Street). EXHIBIT 6     City Council 23 – 282 6/3/2025 Orange County 62 25-29 Regional AFH Map 5 – High Segregation and Poverty Areas – Central Orange County Source: California HCD, AFFH Data Viewer The following analysis describes and identifies the predominant protected classes residing in R/ECAPs, and how these demographics compare with the overall demographics of the area. To identify the predominant protected classes residing in R/ECAPs and compare them to the overall demographics of the surrounding areas, we look at the areas designated as “High Segregation and Poverty” on Map 5 (High Segregation and Poverty Areas) in relation to the demographic information on Map 3 (Predominant Population by Race/Ethnicity). The analysis finds that R/ECAPs in Orange County are predominantly Hispanic. Specifically, • In Placentia, the R/ECAP Tract is predominantly Hispanic, as are the neighborhoods to the west and south in Fullerton and Anaheim. The neighborhoods to the east are predominantly White. • In Anaheim, the R/ECAP Tract is predominantly Hispanic, as are all the surrounding neighborhoods. • In Costa Mesa, the R/ECAP area is predominantly Hispanic, as are the adjacent neighborhoods to the north and west. The Census Tracts to the east, across Newport Avenue, are all predominantly White. • In Garden Grove, the R/ECAP Tract is predominantly Hispanic and is surrounded by Census Tracts that are predominantly AAPI. EXHIBIT 6     City Council 23 – 283 6/3/2025 Orange County 63 25-29 Regional AFH • In Santa Ana, the R/ECAP Tracts are predominantly Hispanic, as are all the surrounding neighborhoods. The following analysis describes how R/ECAPs align with the location of publicly supported housing. Map 6 - Publicly Supported Housing and R/ECAPs, shows the location of public-supported housing in Orange County in comparison to the location of the R/ECAPs (outlined in red). This map shows no overarching patterns between the location of publicly supported housing and R/ECAPs. • In Placentia, the R/ECAP area is home to one public housing development of 50-100 units, and between 5-15% of renter-occupied units in the Tract utilize a voucher— which is similar to other Tracts in the city. • In Anaheim, there are no publicly supported housing units in the R/ECAP Tract, and fewer than 5% of renter-occupied units in the R/ECAP Tract utilize a voucher. • In Costa Mesa, the largest publicly supported housing development in the city is located on the northern boundary of the R/ECAP area. There is no data on voucher usage in the Tract. • In Garden Grove, 15-30% of renter-occupied units in the R/ECAP tract utilize a voucher, which is similar to a number of other non -R/ECAP Tr acts in the city. There are no publicly supported housing developments in the R/ECAP Tract. • In Santa Ana, fewer than 5% of renter-occupied housing units in the R/ECAP areas utilize a voucher; however, there are various publicly supported housing developments within the boundaries of the R/ECAP area.

In the most recent Housing Elements prepared and adopted by each jurisdiction, the following factors were identified that contribute to the existence of R/ECAPs in these jurisdictions. In Placentia: • Lack of affordable housing, which limits housing mobility. • Limited participation in the Housing Choice Voucher Program . • Land use and development practices that constrain affordable housing development. • Private discrimination in housing, due in part to a lack of fair housing knowledge and enforcement. In Anaheim: • Historic practices of redlining and legal racial segregation have created many of the residential patterns that still exist today. Additionally, the high cost of land and existing housing in Anaheim (and throughout Orange County) are significant constraints to the development of new affordable housing and access for families to existing housing. In Costa Mesa: • Housing discrimination, which limits mobility for families. • Lack of affordable housing due to both governmental and market constraints. In Garden Grove: • Lack of affordable, accessible housing in a range of unit sizes, due to high land and development costs in the region, public opposition to new development, and land use and zoning laws. • Housing discrimination, which limits mobility for families. • Limited access to financial services. • Lack of meaningful language access for individuals with limited English proficiency. • Lack of private investment in specific neighborhoods. In Santa Ana: • Lack of fair housing education and outreach. • Lack of affordable housing. EXHIBIT 6     City Council 23 – 286 6/3/2025 Orange County 66 25-29 Regional AFH D. Disparities in Access to Opportunity The following paragraphs analyze disparities in access to opportunity for education, employment, transportation, poverty, environmentally healthy neighborhoods, disability and access, and patterns in any disparities to access to opportunity. 1. Education Table 6 – Opportunity Indicators by Race/Ethnicity (below), includes a School Proficiency Index, which measures the proximity various racial/ethnic groups have, based on where they live, to neighborhoods with high-performing schools. School proficiency is measured using school-level data on the performance of 4th grade students on state exams. The index is based on a range of 0 to 100, with higher scores indicating better proximity to high - performing schools. Table 6 shows the following disparities in access to neighborhoods with high-performing schools in each of the participating jurisdictions: • In the region, there are significant disparities in access to neighborhoods with high performing schools. Access is lowest for Black and Hispanic residents, and highest for White and AAPI residents. Access is especially low for Black residents living below the Federal Poverty Level (FPL). • In the Orange County Urban County jurisdictions, Hispanic residents have the least access to neighborhoods with high-performing schools, and this disparity is even more pronounced for Hispanic residents living below the FPL. Compared to the region, access is better across all groups and there are smaller disparities between groups. • In Aliso Viejo, access to neighborhoods with high-performing schools is high for all groups and there is little disparity between race/ethnic groups. • In Anaheim, access to neighborhoods with high-performing schools is relatively low for all groups in the city and there are significant racial/ethnic disparities. Hispanic residents have the least access, followed by Native American and Black residents. Access also tends to be worse for residents living below the FPL, with Hispanic residents living below the FPL having the least access to neighborhoods with high - performing schools. • In Buena Park, Hispanic and Black residents have less access to neighborhoods with high-performing schools than other groups, and this disparity is even greater for Hispanic residents living below the FPL. Residents in the city have better access to neighborhoods with high-performing schools than their counterparts regionwide, and there are fewer disparities in access by race/ethnicity when compared to the region. • In Costa Mesa, Hispanic residents have less access to neighborhoods with high - performing schools than other groups, and this disparity is even greater for Hispanic EXHIBIT 6     City Council 23 – 287 6/3/2025 Orange County 67 25-29 Regional AFH residents living below the FPL. Generally, residents in the city have better access to neighborhoods with high-performing schools than their counterparts regionwide, and there are fewer disparities in access by race/ethnicity when compared to the region. • In Fountain Valley, access to neighborhoods with high-performing schools is high for all groups, with little disparity between race/ethnic groups, except for Native Americans living below the FPL, who have relatively poor access. • In Fullerton, access to neighborhoods with high performing schools is comparable to the region, with relatively low access and evidence of racial/ethnic disparities. Hispanic residents have the least access, followed by Native American and Black residents. • In Garden Grove, Hispanic residents have less access than other groups to neighborhoods with high-performing schools, though these disparities are less pronounced than in the region as a whole. • In Huntington Beach, Hispanic and Black residents have less access than other groups to neighborhoods with high-performing schools, and these disparities are more pronounced for residents living below the FPL. • In Irvine, access to neighborhoods with high-performing schools is high for all groups. • In La Habra, access to neighborhoods with high-performing schools is relatively low for all groups and there is little disparity between race/ethnic groups. • In Laguna Niguel, access to neighborhoods with high-performing schools is high for all groups. • In Lake Forest, access to neighborhoods with high-performing schools is moderately high for all groups, though residents living below the federal FPL have less access to these types of neighborhoods. Hispanic residents living below the federal FPL, in particular, have the least access compared to other groups. • In Mission Viejo, access to neighborhoods with high-performing schools is moderately high for all groups and there is little disparity between groups. • In Newport Beach, access to neighborhoods with high-performing schools is high for all groups. • In Orange, there are some disparities in access to neighborhoods with high- performing schools, with Black and Hispanic residents having less access than other groups. These disparities are less pronounced than in the region overall—this is because, Hispanic, Black, and Native American residents of Orange have better access to these kinds of neighborhoods than their counterparts in the region overall, while White and AAPI residents of Orange have less access. • In Rancho Santa Margarita, access to neighborhoods with high-performing schools is high for all groups. EXHIBIT 6     City Council 23 – 288 6/3/2025 Orange County 68 25-29 Regional AFH • In San Clemente, access to neighborhoods with high-performing schools is moderately high for all groups with few disparities between groups. • In Santa Ana, access to neighborhoods with high-performing schools is relatively low for all groups and there are significant disparities between race/ethnic groups. Hispanic and Native American residents have the least access to neighborhoods with high-performing schools. • In Tustin, Hispanic and Native American residents living below the FPL have significantly less access to neighborhoods with high-performing schools than other groups. • In Westminster, access to neighborhoods with high-performing schools is moderately high for all groups and there is little disparity between groups.

In other words, Hispanic residents are concentrated in cities with fewer high-performing schools. Specifically, in the following cities, the School Proficiency Index is 70 or higher for every racial/ethnic group, and the pe rcentage of the population that is Hispanic is lower than the countywide percentage of 33.93%: • Aliso Viejo, where the School Proficiency Index is over 83 for all groups, and 20.02% of the population is Hispanic. • Fountain Valley, where the School Proficiency Index is over 73 for all groups, and 17.08% of the population is Hispanic. • Irvine, where the School Proficiency Index is over 90 for all groups, and 11.24% of the population is Hispanic. • Laguna Niguel, where the School Proficiency Index is over 77 for all groups, and 16.10% of the population is Hispanic. • Mission Viejo, where the School Proficiency Index is over 72 for all groups, and 19.67% of the population is Hispanic.

Map 7 – Education Score, is a series of maps showing the TCAC/HCD Opportunity Map’s Education Composite Score for north, central, and south Orange County, and the region. These maps were created by California HCD to facilitate fair housing planning, using the TCAC/HCD Opportunity Map data 8F 9. The Education Composite Score for a particular Census Tract is based on four indicators, all of which are based on enrollment-weighted averages of the three schools closest to the tract’s center point 9F 10: • Math and Reading Proficiency, where “Proficiency” is the percentage of students performing at grade-level in the 4th grade. • High School Graduation Rate, which is calculated using California Department of Education data on the percent of students who graduate in four years. • Student Poverty, which is measured as the percentage of students that do not receive free and reduced-price lunch. A tract’s composite score is determined by whether it falls above or below the median (50th percentile) tract or block group value within each region. Each indicator that falls above the regional median adds one point to the final score. On the maps, the categories equal the following scores: • Highest: >3-4 • High: >2-3 • Moderate: >1-2 • Low: 0-1 These maps, along with Map 3 showing the predominant race/ethnicity in each area, show the following relationship between residency patterns and proximity to proficient schools by race/ethnicity: • In the County overall, o Cities in the central County have the lowest education scores, indicating that residents in these areas are less likely to live near high quality schools. Areas in the southern County, along the coast, and in the unincorporated areas in the north and east parts of the County, have the highest education scores. 9 The maps were downloaded from the AFFH Data Viewer, which can be accessed at https://www.hcd.ca.gov/planning-and-community-development/affirmatively-furthering-fair-housing 10 Detailed descriptions of the methodology used to measure each indicator can be found on the CTAC website, https://www.treasurer.ca.gov/ctcac/opportunity.asp EXHIBIT 6     City Council 23 – 296 6/3/2025 Orange County 76 25-29 Regional AFH Low education score areas generally correspond to areas where the population is predominantly Hispanic. • In the Orange County Urban County jurisdictions, o Brea and Los Alamitos have high education scores and are predominantly White in most but not all areas. o Cypress has high education scores and a predominantly AAPI and White population. o La Palma has high education scores and a predominantly AAPI population o Yorba Linda, Villa Park, Orange Park Acres, North Tustin, unincorporated areas of the County, Laguna Woods, Laguna Beach, and Laguna Hills , all have the highest education scores and are predominantly White. o Dana Point has a mix of education scores, all areas are predominantly White. o Placentia has low education scores in the southeast, which align with the predominantly Hispanic neighborhoods. o San Juan Capistrano has low education score areas that are a mix of predominantly Hispanic and predominantly White neighborhoods. • In Aliso Viejo, all neighborhoods in the city have the highest education score and are predominantly White. • In Anaheim, most of the city’s neighborhoods have low education scores and are predominantly Hispanic.

Employment Table 6 includes a Jobs Proximity Index, which measures the physical distance between where residents of different races/ethnicities live and the location of jobs. A higher index value indicates better access to employment opportunities. Table 6 also includes a Labor Market Index, which measures the unemployment rate, labor-force participation rate, and percentage of the population aged 25 and above with at least a bachelor’s degree, by neighborhood. A higher index value indicates that residents live in a neighborhood with higher labor force participation and human capital. Table 6 shows the following regarding disparities in access to neighborhoods close to jobs and with high labor force participation and human capital in each of the participating jurisdictions: • In the region, there are significant disparities in both the Jobs Proximity and the Labor Market Index. The Jobs Proximity Index is the lowest for Black residents, especially those living below FPL. It is also low for Hispanic residents. White residents are most likely to live in neighborhoods close to jobs. The Labor Market Index is lowest for Black and Hispanic residents, especially those living below FPL, and highest for White residents. Generally, the Labor Market Index is lower for individuals living below FPL. • In the Orange County Urban County jurisdictions, there is relatively low access to neighborhoods close to jobs for all races/ethnicities, with no large disparities between groups. Compared to the region, residents of all races/ethnicities have better access to neighborhoods with high labor force participation and human capital. However, there are disparities between racial/ethnic groups, with Hispanic residents having significantly less access than other groups, and White residents having more access. • In Aliso Viejo, access to neighborhoods with high labor force participation and human capital is high for all races/ethnicities, with no large disparities between groups. This is also true for access to neighborhoods close to jobs. On both indices, the city performs significantly better than the region overall. • In Anaheim, there are significant disparities in access to neighborhoods close to jobs, and with high labor force participation and human capital. Hispanic residents have the least access to neighborhoods with high labor force participation and human capital. Black and AAPI residents have the least access to neighborhoods close to jobs. On both indices, the city is comparable to the region overall, with low- to-moderate scores and significant disparities between groups. • In Buena Park, there is relatively low access to neighborhoods close to jobs for all races/ethnicities, with no large disparities between groups. Compared to the region, residents of all races/ethnicities have less access to neighborhoods close to jobs. There is moderate access to neighborhoods with high labor force participation and EXHIBIT 6     City Council 23 – 301 6/3/2025 Orange County 81 25-29 Regional AFH human capital, with slight disparities between races/ethnicities—Hispanic residents have the least access to these neighborhoods. Compared to the region, access is higher for Hispanic and Black residents in the city. • In Costa Mesa, access to neighborhoods close to jobs is high for all races/ethnicities, with only slight disparities—Hispanic residents have the least access. Access to neighborhoods with high labor force participation and human capital is also high for all races/ethnicities, but with significant disparities between races/ethnicities—again Hispanic residents have the least access. On both indices, the city performs better than the region overall for all racial/ethnic groups. • In Fountain Valley, access to neighborhoods close to jobs, and with high labor force participation and human capital, is relatively high for all groups except for Native American residents living below the FPL, who have very low index values for each measure. • In Fullerton, all race/ethnicities have moderate access to neighborhoods close to jobs, with slight disparities between groups—AAPI residents have the least access of any group. Regarding access to neighborhoods with high labor force participation and human capital, there are some disparities between groups (with Hispanic residents having the least access), and index values for Hispanic, Black, and AAPI residents are higher than their counterparts regionwide. • In Garden Grove, access to neighborhoods close to jobs is low for all groups, with some disparities between groups—AAPI residents have the least access. Compared to the region, all groups in Garden Grove have less access. Access to neighborhoods with high labor force participation and human capital is also relatively low for all groups in the city, with slight disparities between races/ethnicities. Access is lowest for Hispanic and AAPI residents. Compared to the region, the Labor Market Index in the city is higher for Black and Hispanic residents , and lower for all others. • In Huntington Beach, access to neighborhoods close to jobs is relatively low for all groups, with few disparities between races/ethnicities. Overall, groups in the city have better access to neighborhoods with high labor force participation and human capital; however, there are large disparities between groups. Hispanic residents, and especially those living below the FPL, have the least access to these neighborhoods. • In Irvine, access to neighborhoods close to jobs and with high labor force participation and human capital is high for all groups (and higher than the region). The only significant disparities are for Black residents living below FPL, who have less access to neighborhoods close to jobs, and Native American residents living below FPL, who have less access to neighborhoods with high labor force participation and human capital. • In La Habra, access to neighborhoods close to jobs is very low for all groups, with no disparities between groups. There are disparities, however, in access to neighborhoods with high labor force participation and human capital. Hispanic EXHIBIT 6     City Council 23 – 302 6/3/2025 Orange County 82 25-29 Regional AFH residents and Native American residents living below FPL have the least access of all groups. Compared to region, Hispanic, Black and AAPI residents in the city have more access, while White residents have less access. • In Laguna Niguel, access to neighborhoods close to jobs is lower than the region for all groups, with little disparity between groups. Access to neighborhoods with high labor force participation and human capital is high for all groups, with little disparity between groups. • In Lake Forest, access to neighborhoods close to jobs is relatively high, and higher than region, for all groups. There is very little disparity between groups, except for Black residents below FPL, who have very low access to neighborhoods close to jobs. Access to neighborhoods with high labor force participation and human capital is higher than in the region for all groups, with little disparity except for Hispanic, AAPI, and Native American residents living below FPL, all of whom have significantly less access. • In Mission Viejo, access to neighborhoods close to jobs is low for all groups, with no disparities between groups. Access to neighborhoods with high labor force participation and human capital is high for all groups, with little disparity except for Hispanics living below FPL, for whom access is relatively low compared to other city residents but is still higher than in the region. • In Newport Beach, access to neighborhoods close to jobs, and neighborhoods with high labor force participation and human capital, is high for all groups, with very little disparity between groups. • In Orange, access to neighborhoods close to jobs is higher than the region, but there are some disparities—access is lowest for AAPI and White residents. There are also disparities in access to neighborhoods with high labor force participation and human capital. Black and Hispanic residents overall, and Black and AAPI residents living below FPL have the least access. However, access is higher for all groups (except White residents), in comparison to the region. • In Rancho Santa Margarita, access to neighborhoods close to jobs is very low for all groups, with no disparities between groups. Access to neighborhoods with high labor force participation and human capital is high for all groups, with some disparities—Hispanic residents living below FPL have the least access. • In San Clemente, access to neighborhoods close to jobs is low for all groups, with very little disparity between groups. Access to neighborhoods with high labor force participation and human capital is high for all groups (and higher than in the region), with some disparity—namely, Hispanic residents living below FPL have less access. • In Santa Ana, access to neighborhoods close to jobs is higher for all groups than in region, with some disparities—access is lowest for AAPI residents, especially those living below FPL. Access to neighborhoods with high labor force participation and human capital is lower than in the region for all groups except Black residents, and EXHIBIT 6     City Council 23 – 303 6/3/2025 Orange County 83 25-29 Regional AFH there are significant disparities in access—Hispanic residents have the least access, and access is also lower for individuals living below FPL in each racial/ethnic group. • In Tustin, access to neighborhoods close to jobs is higher for all groups than in region, with some disparities between races/ethnicities—White residents have the least access. Access to neighborhoods with high labor force participation and human capital is higher than in the region, with some disparities—Hispanic residents have the least access, and access is also lower for individuals living below FPL in each racial/ethnic group. • In Westminster, there are disparities in access to neighborhoods close to jobs by race/ethnicity. Native American residents living below FPL, and AAPI residents, have the least access . There are some disparities in access to neighborhoods with high labor force participation and human capital by race/ethnicity—Native American residents living below FPL and Hispanic and AAPI residents overall, have less access. Compared to the region, access in the city is slightly better for Black and Hispanic residents, worse for all other groups. The following analysis describes how a person’s place of residence affects their ability to obtain a job. Map 8 – Economic Score, is a series of maps showing the TCAC/HCD Opportunity Map’s Economic Composite Score for north, central, and south Orange County, and the region. These maps were created by California HCD to facilitate fair housing planning, using the TCAC/HCD Opportunity Map data 10F 11. The Economic Composite Score for a particular Census Tract is based on four indicators11F 12: • Poverty Rate – Measured as the percentage of the Tract residents who live above 200 percent of the FPL (the 200 percent threshold is used to account for the higher cost of living in California compared to other regions of the United States). • Adult Education Rate – Measured as the percentage of adults aged 25 years and older in each Tract, who have earned at least a bachelor’s degree . • Employment Rate - Measured as the percentage of individuals in each Tract ages 20 to 64 who are employed in either the civilian labor force or the armed forces. • Home Value – Measured as the median home value (dollars) of owner-occupied housing units in each tract. 11 The maps were downloaded from the AFFH Data Viewer, which can be accessed at https://www.hcd.ca.gov/planning-and-community-development/affirmatively-furthering-fair-housing 12 Detailed descriptions of the methodology used to measure each indicator can be found on the CTAC website, https://www.treasurer.ca.gov/ctcac/opportunity.asp EXHIBIT 6     City Council 23 – 304 6/3/2025 Orange County 84 25-29 Regional AFH The composite score for each Tract is determined by whether it falls above or below the median (50th percentile) tract or block group value within each region. On the map, a higher numerical score indicates more positive economic outcomes. These maps show the following relationship between residency patterns and economic outcomes, including employment: • Countywide, there is a similar pattern to the education scores, with cities in the central County tending to have lower economic scores than cities and unincorporated areas along the coast and in the southern, northern, and eastern parts of the County. Low score areas generally correspond to areas where the population is predominantly Hispanic of AAPI, whereas the high score areas correspond to predominantly White areas. • In the Orange County Urban County jurisdictions, o There are g enerally good economic outcomes in Cypress, Yorba Linda, North Tustin, La Palma, Los Alamitos, unincorporated areas east of Yorba Linda, Brea, North Tustin, Orange Park Acres, Villa Park , Seal Beach (except for the Tract where Leisure World, a retirement community, is located), Rossmoor, Laguna Beach, Dana Point, Ladera Ranch , and Capistrano Beach. o There is a mix of economic outcomes in the following places: ▪ Placentia, where there are lower economic scores in the southwest corner of the city, which is predominantly Hispanic. ▪ Laguna Woods and North Laguna Hills, which are predominantly White and have lower economic scores. ▪ San Juan Capistrano, where there are lower economic scores in the Census Tract that encompasses the interchange between I-5 and the Ortega Highway (SR-74), which is also a high POC segregation area and predominantly Hispanic. • In Aliso Viejo, neighborhoods across the city have high economic scores, are predominantly White, and are mostly areas of high White concentration. • In Anaheim, neighborhoods with lower economic scores include neighborhoods considered to be areas of high POC segregation, including those north of downtown and along SR-91, and south of downtown and adjacent to Disneyland. These areas are predominantly Hispanic. Conversely, Anaheim Hills has high economic scores and is predominantly White. • In Buena Park, the neighborhoods between I-5 and SR-91 have the lowest economic scores in the city. These areas are predominantly Hispanic. The northeastern corner of the city, which is predominantly AAPI, has the highest economic scores in the city. • In Costa Mesa, the neighborhoods in and surrounding downtown, on the west side of Newport Boulevard have the lowest economic scores. These are also areas that are predominantly Hispanic. EXHIBIT 6     City Council 23 – 305 6/3/2025 Orange County 85 25-29 Regional AFH • In Fountain Valley, neighborhoods across the city have high economic scores. • In Fullerton, there is a general north/south divide between areas with higher and lower economic scores. The southeastern neighborhoods, which are predominantly Hispanic, have the lowest economic scores, while the northern half of the city, predominantly White and AAPI neighborhoods, have the highest economic scores. • In Garden Grove, economic scores are moderate north of Garden Grove Freeway (SR-22) and are higher in West Garden Grove. Economic scores are generally lower south of SR-22. • In Huntington Beach, neighborhoods across the city have high economic scores. • In Irvine, neighborhoods across the city have high economic scores except in the area surrounding UC Irvine, and in the neighborhoods east of the intersections of SR-133 and I-5—these are predominantly AAPI. • In La Habra, the areas with the lowest economic scores are the same areas with high POC segregation, including the neighborhoods in the center of the city north of Guadalupe Park and between Idaho Street to the west and Sonora High School to the east.

Transportation This analysis describes any disparities in access to transportation related to costs and access to public transit by protected class groups. Table 6 includes a Transit Index, which measures the likelihood that residents will utilize public transportation. Higher index values indicate better access to public transit in a neighborhood. Table 6 also includes a Low Transportation Cost Index, which measures the cost of transportation in a neighborhood. Higher index values indicate lower transportation costs. Transportation costs may be low in a neighborhood due to better access to public transportation, or to the density of housing, services, and employment, or contributing factors. Table 6 shows the following regarding disparities in access to transit and to neighborhoods with low transportation costs in each of the participating jurisdictions: • In the region, access to transit and access to neighborhoods with low transportation costs are relatively high for all groups, though there are significant disparities between racial/ethnic groups. Both indices are lowest for White residents and highest for Black residents and are higher across all groups for individuals living below the FPL. • In the Orange County Urban County jurisdictions, access to transit is slightly lower for all groups compared to the region but is still relatively high. There are also significant disparities, with AAPI residents having the best access, and White residents having the least access. Access is slightly higher across groups for people living below the FPL. Access to neighborhoods with low transportation costs is lower for all groups compared to the region overall but is still relatively high. There are some disparities between groups, with Hispanic residents having the best access , and White residents having the least access. Access is slightly higher across groups for people living below the FPL, except for Hispanic residents living below the FPL who have similar access to the overall Hispanic population. • In Aliso Viejo, access to transit is low for all groups, and lowest for Black and Native American residents living below the FPL. Access to neighborhoods with low transportation costs is relatively high for all groups, with small disparities between groups—access is lowest for Black and Native American residents living below the FPL. • In Anaheim, access to transit and access to neighborhoods with low transportation costs are high for all groups. • In Buena Park, access to transit and access to neighborhoods with low transportation costs are high for all groups. • In Costa Mesa, access to transit and access to neighborhoods with low transportation costs are high for all groups.

AAPI residents living below the FPL have significantly lower access than other groups. • In San Clemente, access to transit is low for all groups, and access to neighborhoods with low transportation costs is also lower in the city compared to the region. There are some racial/ethnic disparities in access to neighborhoods with low EXHIBIT 6     City Council 23 – 314 6/3/2025 Orange County 94 25-29 Regional AFH transportation costs—Native American residents living below the FPL line, and AAPI residents of all income levels, have less access compared to other groups. • In Santa Ana, access to transit and access to neighborhoods with low transportation costs are high for all groups. • In Tustin, access to transit and access to neighborhoods with low transportation costs are high for all groups. • In Westminster, access to transit and access to neighborhoods with low transportation costs are high for all groups. The following analysis describes how a person’s place of residence affects their access to transportation. Map 9 – High Quality Transit Areas, is a series of maps showing the areas of north, central, and south Orange County, and the region, that have access to “high quality” public transit, defined as having scheduled frequencies of 15 minutes or less. These maps were created by California HCD to facilitate fair housing planning, using data from the California Department of Transportation (Caltrans)12F 13. On the maps, the outlined areas are those within half a mile of a transit stop that is served by public transit with scheduled frequencies of 15 minutes or less. These maps show the following relationship between a person’s place of residence and access to transportation: • Countywide, high quality transit areas (HQTAs) are concentrated in central County cities, and there are no HQTAs in the southern or northeast parts of the County. • In the Orange County Urban County jurisdictions, there are HQTAs in the following places o In Brea, there is a HQTA in the center of city, overlapping with the racially integrated Census Tract that has a predominantly Hispanic population. o In Cypress, there is a HQTA on the southern edge of the city. o In Stanton, HQTAs cover the entire city. o In Seal Beach, there are HQTAs along Seal Beach Boulevard north of US-1. o In Rossmoor, the southeastern corner of the city is a HQTA, along Seal Beach Boulevard. o In Los Alamitos, the northern edge of the city is part of an HQTA. o In Laguna Woods, the eastern half of the city is a HQTA, along El Toro Rd. o In Laguna Hills, the part of the city adjacent to the HQTAs in Laguna Woods and Lake Forest is a HQTA. 13 The maps were downloaded from the AFFH Data Viewer, which can be accessed at https://www.hcd.ca.gov/planning-and-community-development/affirmatively-furthering-fair-housing EXHIBIT 6     City Council 23 – 315 6/3/2025 Orange County 95 25-29 Regional AFH o The following areas have no HQTAs: Placentia, Yorba Linda, unincorporated areas east of Yorba Linda, La Palma, Villa Park, Orange Park Acres, El Modena, North Tustin, Laguna Beach, Dana Point, Capistrano Beach, San Juan Capistrano, Ladera Ranch, and North Laguna Hills • In Aliso Viejo, there are no HQTAs • In Anaheim, there are HQTAs in the western part of city along Beach Boulevard; in the central and southern part of city along Harbor Boulevard and Katella Ave nue, including the Anaheim Regional Transportation Intermodal Center near Angel Stadium; and in the eastern part of the city near the Anaheim Canyon Metrolink station.

Access to Low Poverty Neighborhoods The following analysis describes any disparities in exposure to poverty by protected class groups. Table 6 includes a Low Poverty Index, which measures the level of poverty in a neighborhood. Higher index values indicate less exposure to poverty in a neighborhood. Table 6 shows the following regarding disparities in access to low-poverty neighborhoods in each of the participating jurisdictions: • In the region, there are significant disparities in access to low-poverty neighborhoods. Hispanic and Black residents have the least access, and White residents have the most access. Individuals living below the FPL also have less access to low-poverty neighborhoods, compared to the overall population. • In the Orange County Urban County jurisdictions, access to low-poverty neighborhoods is higher for all groups compared to the region, including for individuals living below the FPL. However, there are significant disparities in access. Hispanic residents have the least access. White residents have the most access. Individuals living below the FPL also have less access to low-poverty neighborhoods, compared to the overall population. EXHIBIT 6     City Council 23 – 320 6/3/2025 Orange County 100 25-29 Regional AFH • In Aliso Viejo, access to low-poverty neighborhoods is higher for all groups compared to the region, including for individuals living below the FPL, and there are no major disparities by race/ethnicity. • In Anaheim, there are significant disparities in access to low-poverty neighborhoods. Hispanic residents have the least access. White residents have the most access. Individuals living below the FPL also have less access to low-poverty neighborhoods, compared to the overall population. Compared to the region, White, AAPI, and Native American residents of the city have less access to low-poverty neighborhoods; and Black residents of the city have bett er access. • In Buena Park, there are similar disparities in access to low-poverty neighborhoods as in the region, though at a smaller scale because Hispanic, Black, and Native American residents in the city have better access than their counterparts in the region. Access in the city is lowest for Hispanic and Black residents, and highest for White residents. Individuals living below the FPL have less access across all groups, except for Native American residents. • In Costa Mesa, there are similar disparities in access to low-poverty neighborhoods as in the region, though at a smaller scale due to the fact that all groups, except for White residents, in the city have better access than their counterparts in the region as a whole. Access in the city is lowest for Hispanic residents and highest for AAPI residents. Individuals living below the FPL have less access across all groups, except for Black residents • In Fountain Valley, all residents have relatively good access to low-poverty neighborhoods compared to the region. There are some disparities by race/ethnicity, with Hispanic residents, and Native American residents living below the FPL, having the least access. • In Fullerton, all residents have relatively good access to low-poverty neighborhoods compared to the region. There are some disparities by race/ethnicity, with Hispanic residents, including those living below the FPL, and Black residents living below the FPL, having the least access. • In Garden Grove, there are significant disparities in access to low-poverty neighborhoods. AAPI and Hispanic residents have the least access. White residents have the best access. The population living below the FPL has less access across all groups. Compared to the region, disparities in the city are less pronounced due to lower index values for White and AAPI residents in the city, and higher index values for all other groups in the city, as compared to values in the region. • In Huntington Beach, all residents have relatively good access to low-poverty neighborhoods compared to the region. There are some disparities by race/ethnicity, with Hispanic residents having the least access and White residents having the most access.

AAPI residents overall have the most access, however, the AAPI population living below the FPL has significantly less access compared to the overall AAPI population in the city. • In Laguna Niguel, access to low-poverty neighborhoods is higher for all groups compared to the region, including for individuals living below the FPL, and there are no major disparities by race/ethnicity. • In Lake Forest, access to low-poverty neighborhoods is higher for all groups compared to the region. However, some racial/ethnic disparities exist, with Hispanic residents having the least access. For the population living below the FPL, access is much lower for Native American residents compared to any other group, access is lower for AAPI residents compared to the overall AAPI population, and access is higher for Black residents compared to the overall Black population. • In Mission Viejo, access to low-poverty neighborhoods is higher for all groups compared to the region. However, some disparities exist for individuals living below the FPL, with Black residents living below the FPL having less access than other groups in the city (though still with better access compared to the region). • In Newport Beach, access to low-poverty neighborhoods is higher for all groups compared to the region, including for individuals living below the FPL, and there are no major disparities by race/ethnicity. • In Orange, there are similar disparities in access to low-poverty neighborhoods as in the region, though at a smaller scale because all groups, except for White residents, in the city have better access than their counterparts in the region as a whole. Hispanic residents in the city have the least access to low-poverty neighborhoods. Additionally, Black residents living below the FPL have significantly lower access. • In Rancho Santa Margarita, access to low-poverty neighborhoods is higher for all groups compared to the region, and there is little racial/ethnic disparity. For the population living below the FPL, racial/ethnic disparities are larger, mainly because the AAPI population below the FPL has the most access to low-poverty neighborhoods of any group in the city. • In San Clemente, access to low-poverty neighborhoods is higher for all groups compared to the region. However, some racial/ethnic disparities exist, with Hispanic residents experiencing the least access.

Compared to the region, all groups in the city have less access to low-poverty neighborhoods, except for Black residents, who have access comparable to the region overall. • In Tustin, there are similar disparities in access to low-poverty neighborhoods as in the region, though at a smaller scale due to the fact that Hispanic, Black, and Native American residents in the city have higher access relative to the region, and White and AAPI residents have lower access relative to region. In the city, Hispanic residents have the lowest access. For the population living below the FPL, there are also significant disparities. Access to low-poverty neighborhoods is lowest for Native American and Hispanic residents living below the FPL, and access for White residents living below the FPL is significantly lower than access for the overall White population. • In Westminster, access to low poverty neighborhoods is lower than in the region for all groups, except for Black residents, and there are significant racial/ethnic disparities. Hispanic and AAPI residents have the least access, overall. For the population living below the FPL, access is lower across all groups and is lowest for AAPI residents.

The data show the Black poverty rate to be much higher than other racial/ethnic groups, however the population size may be too small for the data to be accurate. • In Santa Ana, the overall poverty rate is higher than the County but lower than the region poverty rate. Black residents have the highest poverty rate (nearly 20%). • In Tustin, the overall poverty rate is higher than the County but lower than the region poverty rate. Hispanic residents have the highest poverty rate (nearly double the White poverty rate), and foreign-born residents are more likely to live below the FPL than native-born residents. • In Westminster, the overall poverty rate is higher than the County and the region. The Black poverty rate is over 20% and more than double the White poverty rate. The AAPI poverty rate is over 18% and is also more than double the White poverty rate. Foreign-born residents are more likely to live below the FPL than native-born residents. (Note that the Native American population may be too small for the sample data to be accurate.)

Access to Environmentally Healthy Neighborhoods The following analysis describes any disparities in access to environmentally healthy neighborhoods by protected class groups. Table 6 includes an Environmental Health Index , which captures the potential exposure to harmful toxins in a neighborhood. Higher index values indicate less exposure to harmful toxins, and therefore better environmental quality, in a neighborhood. Table 6 shows the following regarding disparities in access to environmentally healthy neighborhoods in each of the participating jurisdictions: • In the region, there is relatively low access to environmentally healthy neighborhoods for all groups, and racial/ethnic disparities exist. Access to environmentally healthy neighborhoods is highest access for White residents, and lowest for Black residents followed by Hispanic and AAPI residents. Access is lower for all groups living below the FPL, with the least access experienced by Hispanic residents living below the FPL. • In the Orange County Urban County jurisdictions, there is relatively low access to environmentally healthy neighborhoods for all groups, and racial/ethnic disparities exist. Access to environmentally healthy neighborhoods is highest access for White residents, and lowest for AAPI residents followed by Black and Hispanic residents. Access is lower for all groups living below the FPL, except for White residents who have comparable access to the overall population. • In Aliso Viejo, there is relatively high access to environmentally health neighborhoods for all groups compared to the region, and no racial/ethnic disparities. • In Anaheim, there is very poor access to environmentally friendly neighborhoods for all residents, regardless of race/ethnicity. • In Buena Park, there is very poor access to environmentally friendly neighborhoods for all residents, regardless of race/ethnicity. • In Costa Mesa, residents have better access to environmentally healthy neighborhoods than residents of the region, but access is still low. There are some racial/ethnic disparities in access. Overall, AAPI residents have the least access to environmentally healthy neighborhoods, and Hispanic residents have the best access. For the population living below the FPL, Black and Native American residents have the least access. • In Fountain Valley, there is very poor access to environmentally friendly neighborhoods for all residents compared to the region. There are small disparities in access for the population living below the FPL. Specifically, Black residents living below the FPL have the least access.

Map 11 – Environmental Health, is a series of maps showing data from the California Office of Environmental Health Hazard Assessment (OEHHA) California Communities Environmental Health Screening Tool (CalEnviroScreen 4.0). These maps were created by California HCD to facilitate fair housing planning, using CalEnviroScreen data from OEHHA14F 15. The CalEnviroScreen tool is designed to identify communities most affected by pollution, and those where residents may be especially vulnerable to its effects. To do this, it uses a composite score based on 13 different indicators of pollution burden – such as exposure indicators (e.g., diesel particulate matter levels and lead risk from housing and environmental effect indicators (e.g., location of solid waste facilities) - as well as eight indicators of population characteristics including sensitive population indicators (e.g., asthma rates) and socioeconomic factor factors (e.g., poverty and linguistic isolation). More detailed information on the mapping methodology is available on the OEHHA website15F 16. On these maps, green areas represent regions with more positive environmental factors, while red areas indicate regions with more negative environmental factors. These maps show the following relationship between an individual’s place of residence and their access to environmentally healthy neighborhoods: • Countywide, the areas with more positive environmental factors are along the coast, in the south, and northeast. The areas with more negative environmental factors are in the central parts of the County north of I-405 and west of the Costa Mesa Freeway (SR-55). • In the Orange County Urban County jurisdictions, most neighborhoods have primarily positive environmental factors. The areas with more negative environmental factors are located in the following places: o Stanton. o Southwest Placentia, next to Fullerton , which is an area of high POC segregation and is predominantly Hispanic. o San Juan Capistrano, in the Census Tract that encompasses the interchange between I-5 and the Ortega Highway (SR-74), which is a high POC segregation area and is predominantly Hispanic. • In Aliso Viejo, all neighborhoods in the city have positive environmental factors. 15 The maps were downloaded from the AFFH Data Viewer, which can be accessed at https://www.hcd.ca.gov/planning-and-community-development/affirmatively-furthering-fair-housing 16 https://oehha.ca.gov/calenviroscreen EXHIBIT 6     City Council 23 – 335 6/3/2025 Orange County 115 25-29 Regional AFH • In Anaheim, Anaheim Hills (a high White segregation area), has positive environmental factors. Much of the rest of the city is affected by negative environmental factors, with the severe environmental factors located in and around downtown, along I-5 cutting across the city, and along Riverside Freeway (SR-91) on the northern edge of the city. • In Buena Park, there is one Census Tract with a score lower than 40 (indicating more positive environmental factors). This area is between La Palma Avenue and Crescent Avenue, on either side of Knott Avenue. Areas of the city with more negative environmental factors include the neighborhoods north of the Artesia Freeway (SR- 91) and adjacent to I-5, and the western part of the city, which includes numerous warehouses and distribution facilities. • In Costa Mesa, areas with more positive environmental factors include neighborhoods east of Newport Boulevard (SR-55), which are high White segregation areas, as well as neighborhoods along the western edge of the city and north of I-405, which are also predominantly White. The areas with more negative environmental factors include neighborhoods downtown, which are predominantly Hispanic. • In Fountain Valley, areas with more positive environmental factors include the neighborhoods in the southwest corner of city, which have a high concentration of White residents, and those surrounding Mile Square Regional Park, a high POC segregation area that is predominantly AAPI. The rest of the city experiences moderate environmental factors. • In Fullerton, areas with more positive environmental factors include the neighborhoods near the Panorama Nature Preserve in the city’s northeast. Areas with more negative environmental factors include the neighborhoods in the southeast part of the city, which are predominantly Hispanic—this area includes the commercial/industrial area along the Riverside Freeway (SR-91); and neighborhoods in the southwest part of the city, around Fullerton Municipal Airport and to the south, which are also predominantly Hispanic. • In Garden Grove, residential neighborhoods in West Garden Grove, west of Knott Street have more positive environmental factors and are areas of high White segregation. The rest of the city experiences less positive environmental factors, with the most negative factors located in West Garden Grove, east of Knott Street an industrial and commercial area, and along Garden Grove Freeway (SR-22), in the city’s southeast. • In Huntington Beach, most of the city – particularly along the coast and in the southeastern region – has more positive environmental factors. However, an area with less positive environmental factors is in the industrial/commercial area between Beach Boulevard (SR-39) and Gothard Street, spanning from Talbert EXHIBIT 6     City Council 23 – 336 6/3/2025 Orange County 116 25-29 Regional AFH Avenue to Edinger Avenue. This area overlaps with the one predominantly Hispanic Census Tract. • In Irvine, most of the neighborhoods in the city have positive environmental factors. The few places with more negative environmental factors include the area west of San Diego Creek north of I-405 (which is primarily comprised of industrial and commercial land uses, including the Irvine Business Complex), the area between UC Irvine and I-405 (which is a high POC segregation area and is predominantly AAPI), and the eastern part of city along I-5 near Lake Forest, where Irvine Industrial Complex East and Irvine Technology Center are located. • In La Habra, most of the city is affected by negative environmental factors, with the most negative factors concentrated in the central and southeast areas of the city/ This is likely due to the proximity to warehouses, distribution centers, and Imperial Highway (SR-90). These areas overlap with the high POC segregation areas, which are predominantly Hispanic. • In Laguna Niguel, all neighborhoods in the city have positive environmental factors. • In Lake Forest, most neighborhoods in the city have positive environmental factors, except for those south of Serrano Creek, which experience more negative environmental factors. • In Mission Viejo, all neighborhoods in the city have positive environmental factors. • In Newport Beach, all neighborhoods in the city have positive environmental factors. • In Orange, the neighborhoods east of Villa Park, which haver high White segregation, experience more positive environmental factors. Neighborhoods west of Glassel Street, which are predominantly Hispanic, are affected by more negative environmental factors. • In Rancho Santa Margarita, all neighborhoods in the city have positive environmental factors. • In San Clemente, most neighborhoods in the city have positive environmental factors, except for one area with moderate environmental factors . This area encompasses the neighborhoods north and east of Max Berg Plaza Park, and is classified as a low-medium concentration area with a predominantly White population. • In Santa Ana, most of the city has negative environmental factors, with the most negative factors located in the east and southeast side of the city along the Costa Mesa Freeway (SR-55), where many of the commercial/industrial land uses are located. Other highly impacted areas include downtown and neighborhoods west of downtown. These are all areas of high POC segregation, and most are predominantly Hispanic, except for one of the Tracts to the far west of downtown, which is predominantly AAPI. There is one Census Tract with positive environmental factors located in the southern part of the city, within a racially integrated area between EXHIBIT 6     City Council 23 – 337 6/3/2025 Orange County 117 25-29 Regional AFH Segerstrom High School and the Bristol Place Shopping Mall, where White residents are the predominant group. • In Tustin, neighborhoods north of I-5 have more positive environmental factors, and neighborhoods south of I-5 have more negative environmental factors. • In Westminster, most of the city has negative environmental factors, with the most negative factors located in the central neighborhoods, from I-405 north, between Beach Boulevard and Edwards Street.

Disability and Access The following analysis describes the barriers that deny individuals with disabilities access to opportunity and community assets. Table 7 – Disability by Type, presents the percentage of residents with various disabilities living in the region, Orange County, the Orange County Urban County jurisdictions, and in HUD Entitlement City. In the region and Orange County overall, the most prevalent form of disability is ambulatory difficulty, followed by independent living difficulty. Ambulatory difficulty is also the most prevalent form of disability in the Urban County jurisdictions and all HUD Entitlement Cities except for Aliso Viejo and Rancho Santa Margarita, where cognitive difficulty is most prevalent, and Irvine, where independent living difficulty is most prevalent. EXHIBIT 6     City Council 23 – 341 6/3/2025 Orange County 121 25-29 Regional AFH Table 7 – Disability by Type EXHIBIT 6     City Council 23 – 342 6/3/2025 Orange County 122 25-29 Regional AFH According to data from HUD, in Orange County, a total of 398 housing discrimination cases were opened between January 2019 and November 2024 (when this report was prepared). As shown in Table 8, below, the majority (65.33%) of cases alleged discrimination based on disability. (Please note, the total number of cases in the table below equal more than 398, and the percentages equal more than 100% because one case can involve allegations of discrimination based on multiple protected classes). Table 9 shows the number of cases by jurisdiction, and the number and percentage of cases that included allegations of discrimination based on disability status. As the table shows, in nearly all jurisdictions, discrimination based (in whole or in part) on disability status comprises most cases. Table 8 – Discrimination Complaints, Orange County, 2019-2024 EXHIBIT 6     City Council 23 – 343 6/3/2025 Orange County 123 25-29 Regional AFH Table 9 – Discrimination Complaints by Jurisdiction, Orange County, 2019-2024 EXHIBIT 6     City Council 23 – 344 6/3/2025 Orange County 124 25-29 Regional AFH The fair housing challenges facing individuals with a disability were described during the stakeholder consultations and community meetings. Participants in these meetings reported the following barriers that deny individuals with disabilities access to opportunity and community assets: • Individuals with disabilities often seek affordable housing in older buildings that may not meet accessibility standards, creating additional barriers. • Affordable housing options are concentrated in areas of Santa Ana and Anaheim, with fewer options in higher opportunity areas of the County. • Individuals with disabilities often face barriers in accessing necessary modifications in housing. Tenants must provide a doctor's letter to request modifications, yet landlords are often resistant to approving accommodation requests . In many cases, tenants are responsible for covering modification costs, unless the property is government-owned. Additionally, low-income individuals with disabilities struggle to afford the necessary modifications. 7. Patterns in Disparities in Access to Opportunity The following analysis identifies and discusses any overarching patterns of access to opportunity and exposure to adverse community factors , including how these patterns compare to patterns of segregation, integration, and R/ECAPs . The analysis also identifies areas that experience: (a) high access; and (b) low access across multiple indicators. In Orange County, there is a general pattern of disparities in access to opportunity between the cities in the central part of the County, and the cities and unincorporated areas along the coast and in the southern and northeastern parts of the County. Cities in central Orange County tend to have higher poverty areas, lower educational scores, lower economic scores, and worse environmental health factors. These cities are also comprised of many areas of high POC segregation, with predominantly Hispanic populations. Except for Garden Grove and Westminster, which have neighborhoods with predominantly AAPI populations. Conversely, the cities and unincorporated areas along the coast and in the south and northeast experience lower poverty rates, higher educational scores, higher economic scores, and better environmental health factors. These areas correspond to areas of high White segregation and predominantly White populations. In the Orange County Urban County jurisdictions, • The following racial/ethnic groups experience disparities in access across multiple indicators: o Hispanic residents, and particularly those living below the Federal Poverty Level (FPL), have the least access to low poverty neighborhoods, neighborhoods in close proximity to high performing schools, and neighborhoods with high labor force participation and human capital. EXHIBIT 6     City Council 23 – 345 6/3/2025 Orange County 125 25-29 Regional AFH • The following areas experience low access across multiple indicators: o Southwest Placentia neighborhoods have low access to environmental health, high poverty, low economic scores, and are not located in a high - quality transit area. This part of the city is a high POC segregation area that is predominantly Hispanic. o Stanton residents experience low access to environmentally healthy neighborhoods and high exposure to poverty on the south side of Katella Avenue and on the east side of Beach Boulevard north of Katella Avenue. o In San Juan Capistrano, the neighborhoods surrounding the I-5 and the Ortega Highway (SR-74) interchange experience poor environmental health and have low economic scores. This is a high POC segregation area and is predominantly Hispanic. • Apart from the areas above, the rest of the Urban County jurisdictions experience high environmental quality and have relatively low poverty. In addition, the following areas have access to educational and economic opportunities, as reflected in high education and economic scores on the maps analyzed above: o Brea, Cypress, La Palma, Laguna Beach, Los Alamitos, North Tustin, Orange Park Acres, Villa Park, Yorba Linda, and the unincorporated areas east of Yorba Linda In Aliso Viejo, residents have high access across multiple opportunities, including high education scores, high economic scores, high environmental quality, and low exposure to poverty. However, residents generally do not have good access to transit and neighborhoods with low transportation costs. In Anaheim, Hispanic residents have the least access to low-poverty neighborhoods, neighborhoods close to high performing schools, and neighborhoods with high labor force participation and human capital. Geographically, neighborhoods near the downtown have low environmental health, low education scores, low economic scores; but good access to HQTAs. Conversely, Anaheim Hills, which is a predominantly White area, has the best access to environmentally healthy neighborhoods with low poverty rates, high educat ion scores, and high economic scores. In Buena Park, Hispanic and Black residents have less access than other groups to neighborhoods with low poverty rates and high performing schools. Geographically, the neighborhoods in the center of the city, between I-5 and the Artesia Freeway (SR-91), have poor environmental health, lower educational scores, and lower economic scores. In Costa Mesa, Hispanic residents have the least access to low-poverty neighborhoods, neighborhoods close to high performing schools, and neighborhoods with high labor force participation and human capital. Geographically, neighborhoods downtown and west of downtown are less environmentally healthy and have lower education and economic EXHIBIT 6     City Council 23 – 346 6/3/2025 Orange County 126 25-29 Regional AFH scores. These are also predominantly Hispanic neighborhoods. Conversely, neighborhoods east of Newport Boulevard (SR-55), which are predominantly White, have higher education and economic scores, are more environmentally healthy, and have lower poverty rates. In Fountain Valley, neighborhoods across the city have relatively high economic and educational scores, and relatively low poverty rates. White or AAPI residents comprise the predominant population in all neighborhoods. In Fullerton, Hispanic residents have the least access to low -poverty neighborhoods, neighborhoods close to high performing schools, and neighborhoods with high labor force participation and human capital. Geographically, neighborhoods in southeast Fullerton (which are predominantly Hispanic), have relatively low economic and education scores, poor environmental quality, and relatively high poverty rates. Conversely, neighborhoods in the northern part of the city, which are predominantly White or AAPI, have higher education and economic scores, better environmental health, and lower poverty. In Garden Grove, Hispanic and AAPI residents have the least access to low poverty neighborhoods and neighborhoods with high labor force participation and human capital. Additionally, Hispanic residents also have the least access to neighborhoods with high performing schools. Geographically, the neighborhoods with access to the most opportunities are in West Garden Grove, where education and economic scores are high, environmental quality is high, and poverty is low. West Garden Grove is a predominantly White area. In Huntington Beach, Hispanic residents have relatively low access to neighborhoods with good environmental health, low poverty, high education scores, and high economic scores. Overall, access to opportunities in the city is high compared to the region. In Irvine, residents across the city have relatively high access to opportunities. Geographically, the neighborhoods surrounding UC Irvine have relatively low economic scores and relatively high poverty rates, but this is most likely due to the concentration of college students in this area. In La Habra, neighborhoods in the city’s center and southeast of the center have poor environmental quality, low education scores, and low economic scores. These neighborhoods are also predominantly Hispanic. In Laguna Niguel, residents have high access across multiple opportunities, including high education scores, high economic scores, high environmental quality, and low exposure to poverty. However, residents generally do not have good access to transit and neighborhoods with low transportation costs. EXHIBIT 6     City Council 23 – 347 6/3/2025 Orange County 127 25-29 Regional AFH In Lake Forest, residents overall have relatively good access to opportunities, compared to the region. However, residents living below the FPL in the city generally have less access to opportunities than the rest of the population. In Mission Viejo, residents across the city have relatively high access to opportunities (apart from transit and low-cost transportation). Most of the city’s neighborhoods are predominantly White, except in the south. In Newport Beach, residents across the city have relatively high access to opportunities. All of the city’s neighborhoods are predominantly White. In Orange, Hispanic, and Black residents (especially Black residents living below t he FPL) have relatively low access to neighborhoods close to high performing schools, and to neighborhoods with high labor force participation and human capital. Geographically, neighborhoods west of Glassel Street (which are predominantly Hispanic), have lower education and economic scores, and worse environmental quality. Conversely, neighborhoods to the north and east of Villa Park (predominantly White), have high education and economic scores, and good environmental quality. In Rancho Santa Margarita, residents across the city have relatively high access to opportunities. All of the city’s neighborhoods are predominantly White. In San Clemente, residents have relatively high access to opportunities compared to the region. Geographically, compared to the rest of the city, neighborhoods north and east of Max Berg Plaza Park have lower environmental quality, lower economic scores, and slightly higher poverty rates. In Santa Ana, Hispanic residents are more likely than other groups to be exposed to poverty in their neighborhoods and are less likely than other groups to live in close proximity to high performing schools, or in neighborhoods with high labor force participation and human capital. Geographically, neighborhoods downtown, west of downtown, and southeast of downtown have low economic scores, low education scores, high poverty rates, and poor environmental quality. Neighborhoods in the north and south of the c ity have better economic and education scores. In Tustin, Hispanic residents (especially those below FPL) are less likely than other groups to live in close proximity to high performing schools, or in neighborhoods with high labor force participation and human capital; and are more likely to be exposed to poverty in their neighborhoods. In Westminster, AAPI residents are more likely than other groups to be exposed to poverty in their neighborhoods and are less likely than other groups to live in close proximity to high performing schools or jobs. Native American residents living below the FPL are also less likely to live in close proximity to high performing schools or jobs. EXHIBIT 6     City Council 23 – 348 6/3/2025 Orange County 128 25-29 Regional AFH This section describes the public or private policies or practices, demographic shifts, economic trends, or other factors that may have caused or contributed to the patterns described above. Broadly speaking, disparities in access to opportunities between and within jurisdictions in Orange County are due, in part, to: • Lack of affordable (market or publicly subsidized) housing in high opportunity areas, due to market factors, governmental constraints, and community opposition to high density zoning. • Lack of public and private investment in low-opportunity neighborhoods. • Displacement of residents is due to rising housing costs. Through the stakeholder consultations and community meetings, it was also reported that disparities in access to opportunities in the County are due to: • In addition to landlord resistance to renting to HCV Program participants, the gap between HCV subsidy amounts and housing costs further inhibits HCV Program participants from accessing housing in higher cost (and higher opportunity areas). • Many seniors are on fixed incomes and cannot keep up with the rising cost of housing. • The high cost of land, which makes it hard to build new affordable housing in high opportunity areas. • The California Coastal Act, which limits development in high opportunity areas along the coast. • Lack of accessible housing for individuals with disabilities. Detailed lists of the public or private policies or practices, demographic shifts, economic trends, and other factors that have caused or contributed to disparities in access to opportunities in each of the jurisdictions are included in Section IV.

Disproportionate Housing Needs The following analysis describes which groups experience higher rates of housing cost burden, severe housing cost burden, overcrowding, or substandard housing when compared to other groups. Housing Problems Table 10 – Disproportionate Housing Problems, shows 2017 -2021 Comprehensive Housing Affordability Strategy (CHAS) data on the percentage of households experiencing at least one of the following four housing problems, organized by race/ethnicity: • Lacks complete kitchen facilities: Household lacks a sink with piped water, a range or stove, or a refrigerator. • Lacks complete plumbing facilities: Household lacks hot and cold piped water, a flush toilet, and a bathtub or shower. • Overcrowding: A household is considered overcrowded if there are more than 1.01 individuals per room. • Cost burden: A household is considered cost burdened if the household spends more than 30% of its total gross income for housing costs. For renters, housing costs include rent paid by the tenant, plus utilities. For owners, housing costs include mortgage payment, taxes, insurance, and utilities. A disproportionately greater need exists when members of a racial or ethnic group in a certain income range experience housing problems at a rate that is least 10 percentage points higher than the rate experienced by all households within that income level. Table 10 reports the following: • American Indian or Alaska Native households, and Pacific Islander households have disproportionate housing needs within the 80%-100% AMI range. • It is also worth noting that Hispanic households in the 30% AMI and below range experience housing needs at a much higher rate than the overall population in that income range, though the rate is slightly less than 10 percentage points.

For renters, housing costs include rent paid by the tenant , plus utilities. For owners, housing costs include mortgage payment, taxes, insurance, and utilities. According to Table 11, the following groups experience disproportionate need as defined above: • Hispanic households have disproportionate severe housing needs within the 0%- 30% AMI range. • American Indian or Alaska Native households, and Pacific Islander households have disproportionate severe housing needs within the 50%-80% AMI range. • American Indian or Alaska Native households have disproportionate severe housing needs within the 80%-100% AMI range.

Map 12 – Housing Problems, is a series of maps illustrating concentrations of households experiencing housing burdens in Orange County. These maps were created by California HCD to facilitate fair housing planning, using data from the U.S. Census Bureau American Community Survey, 2018 -2022 5-Year Estimates16F 17. On these maps, areas with darker shading have a higher percentage of households experiencing a particular housing problem (i.e., cost burden, overcrowding, incomplete plumbing, and incomplete kitchen facilities. The maps show that the areas experiencing the greatest housing burdens are the following: • Overcrowding is an issue that is generally only experienced by the residents of cities in the central and northern parts of the County. Overcrowding is not a significant concern in the coastal areas, the areas south and east of Irvine, or the northeastern region, including Yorba Linda and the unincorporated areas to the east Conversely, more than 20% of all units are overcrowded in the following areas: o In Santa Ana, in most of the city, which are also areas of high POC segregation and are predominantly Hispanic. o In Garden Grove, in the eastern and southeastern neighborhoods, which are areas of high POC segregation and are predominantly Hispanic in the east. 17 The maps were downloaded from the AFFH Data Viewer, which can be accessed at https://www.hcd.ca.gov/planning-and-community-development/affirmatively-furthering-fair-housing EXHIBIT 6     City Council 23 – 352 6/3/2025 Orange County 132 25-29 Regional AFH o In Anaheim, in the neighborhoods north and south of downtown, and around Disneyland. These are also areas of high POC segregation and are predominantly Hispanic. o In Fullerton, in the neighborhoods south of downtown, which are predominantly Hispanic. • Overpayment by renters is an issue everywhere in the County. In most neighborhoods in the County, over 40% of renter households are struggling with overpayment. • Overpayment by owners is less of an issue than overpayment by renters but is also widespread throughout the County. In many neighborhoods, 20-40% of homeowner households struggle with overpayment. There are only a few areas where more than 60% or fewer than 20% of homeowner households struggle with overpayment . • Incomplete plumbing is not a significant concern in the County, as fewer than 2% of homes experience this issue. However, one exception is Fountain Valley, where 5- 10% of housing units are affected. This area includes the neighborhood surrounding Fountain Valley High School and north to Warner Avenue, which is an area of high POC segregation. • Incomplete kitchen facilities are also not a significant concern in the County. In most of the County less than 10% of homes experience this issue. The areas where m ore than 10% of homes experience this issue are: o In Anaheim, in the western neighborhoods, which are racially integrated and predominantly Hispanic , except for one Census Tract that is predominantly AAPI. o In Orange, in the predominantly Hispanic area west of Glassel St reet and north of Walnut Avenue. o In La Habra, in one Census Tract in the north central part of the city. o In Irvine, near UC Irvine (which may reflect a concentration of student housing).

Table 12 – Housing Tenure by Race/Ethnicity, shows the percentages of households that are renters and homeowners by race/ethnicity, based on data from the 201 8-2022 American Community Survey. The table shows that, • Countywide, the homeownership rate is 56.5%, which is higher than the homeownership rate in the region. There are large disparities in homeownership by race/ethnicity. Black households have the lowest homeownership rate (32.4%). Less than 40% of Hispanic households own their home , and approximately 42% of Native households own their home. White and AAPI households have the highest homeownership rates. • In the Orange County Urban County jurisdictions, homeownership rates are higher overall and for each group compared to the County. The same disparities in homeownership by race/ethnicity exist as in the County. • In Aliso Viejo, homeownership rates for AAPI, Black, and Hispanic households are higher than in the County overall, and homeownership rates for White households are lower. • In Anaheim, homeownership rates are lower for all groups compared to the County, and similar racial/ethnic disparities exist. EXHIBIT 6     City Council 23 – 356 6/3/2025 Orange County 136 25-29 Regional AFH • In Buena Park, homeownership rates and racial/ethnic disparities are similar to the County overall; however, the disparities are even larger due to a higher homeownership rate for White households compared to the County, and a lower rate for Black households compared to the County. • In Costa Mesa, homeownership rates are lower for all groups compared to the County, and similar racial/ethnic disparities exist. • In Fountain Valley, homeownership rates are higher compared to the County for all groups, except Black households. However, it is important to note that the small sample size for Black households may affect the accuracy of the data is not accurate. • In Fullerton, homeownership rates are lower for all groups than the County overall, except for AAPI households. Racial/ethnic disparities exist, with Native American households the least likely to own their home, and AAPI households most likely. • In Garden Grove, the Black and Hispanic homeownership rate is half the White homeownership rate. The AAPI homeownership rate in the city is lower than the AAPI homeownership countywide. • In Huntington Beach, homeownership rates are lower for White, Black, and Hispanic households compared to the County overall, and higher for AAPI and Native American households. Similar racial/ethnic disparities exist in the city as in the County. • In Irvine, homeownership rates are lower for all groups compared to the County overall, and racial/ethnic disparities are similar to the County, with Black and Hispanic households experiencing the lowest homeownership rates (15.7% and 18% respectively) • In La Habra, homeownership rates are higher for all groups compared to the County, and similar racial/ethnic disparities exist as in the County. • In Laguna Niguel, homeownership rates are higher for all groups compared to the County, and racial/ethnic disparities exist —the Hispanic homeownership rate is the lowest, followed by the Black homeownership rate. The AAPI homeownership rate is the highest, followed by the White homeownership rate. • In Lake Forest, homeownership rates are higher for all groups compared to the County, except Native American households. Racial/Ethnic disparities exist, with AAPI and White homeownership higher than Black and Hispanic homeownership rates. • In Mission Viejo, homeownership rates across all groups are much higher than in the County overall, though racial/ethnic disparities still exist. The Black homeownership rate is the lowest in the city, though it is above 60%. • In Newport Beach, homeownership rates are lower for all groups compared to the County overall, except for AAPI households, who have slightly higher homeownership rate in the city. The Black and Native American homeownership EXHIBIT 6     City Council 23 – 357 6/3/2025 Orange County 137 25-29 Regional AFH rates are very low in the city. However, due to the small sample sizes for these groups, the data may not be entirely accurate. • In Orange, homeownership rates are comparable to the County overall, and similar disparities exist. However, the disparities are slightly larger in the city than in the County, as White, AAPI, and Hispanic homeownership rates are higher than in the County overall, while the Black homeownership rate is lower. • In Rancho Santa Margarita, homeownership rates are higher for all groups when compared to the County. However, there are still racial/ethnic disparities. Hispanic households have the lowest homeownership rate, and it is 20 percentage points lower than the AAPI homeownership rate, which is the highest rate in the city. • In San Clemente, homeownership rates are higher for White, AAPI, and Hispanic households compared to the County overall, while rates are lower for Black and Native American households. Due to the small sample size for Black and Native American households, the data may not be accurate. This causes the racial/ethnic disparities in homeownership rates to be larger than at the County level. • In Santa Ana, racial/ethnic disparities in homeownership rates are similar to the County overall, but less pronounced. This is because homeownership rates in the city are lower for White and AAPI households, and higher for Black, Hispanic, and Native American households compared to the County overall. • In Tustin, homeownership rates are very low for Black and Hispanic households, equaling less than half of the homeownership rate for AAPI and White households. The AAPI homeownership rate is higher in the city than in the County overall, and the White homeownership rate is lower in the city than in the County overall. • In Westminster, there are large racial/ethnic disparities in homeownership. Black, Hispanic, and Native American households have the lowest rates (30%), and these rates are less than half the homeownership rate for White households, which is the highest in the city. The AAPI homeownership rate in the city is lower than in the County overall and is nearly 20 percentage points lower than the White homeownership rate in the city.

This section describes the public or private policies or practices, demographic shifts, economic trends, or other factors that may have caused or contributed to the patterns described above. Broadly speaking, disproportionate housing needs across and within jurisdictions in Orange County are influenced by several factors, including: • The age of housing stock in some neighborhoods, and the high cost of home repairs/rehabilitation relative to incomes. • Insufficient number of Housing Choice Vouchers or other types of publicly subsidized housing • Land use and zoning laws that have led to the dominance of single-family housing, which is typically more expensive than multifamily housing. Through stakeholder consultations and community meetings, it was also reported that disproportionate housing needs in the County are due to: • Eviction notices have a particularly adverse impact on tenants, especially on families who are fleeing or those with a history of domestic violence. While the judicial system is making efforts to address these issues, barriers such as language and understanding legal terminology continue to pose challenges. EXHIBIT 6     City Council 23 – 363 6/3/2025 Orange County 143 25-29 Regional AFH • Lack of adequate shelter for individuals experiencing homelessness, particularly for the most vulnerable groups such as trans women. • Insufficient homebuyer education for minority homebuyers. • Lack of resources for organizations providing education and services to protected class groups. • Language and digital literacy barriers that make it hard for LEP populations to locate and access housing resources. Detailed lists of the public or private policies or practices, demographic shifts, economic trends, and other factors that have caused or contributed to disproportionate housing needs in each of the jurisdictions are included in Section IV. F. Local and State Policies and Practices Impacting Fair Housing The following analysis describes how local laws, policies, ordinances, and other practices impede or promote fair housing (including how they impede or promote the siting or location of affordable housing in well-resourced neighborhoods, and equitable access to homeownership and other asset building and economic opportunities). In general, land use and zoning laws across Orange County have led to the dominance of single-family housing, which is typically more expensive than multifamily housing and has contributed in various ways to reinforcing longstanding patterns of segregation, concentration of poverty, and disparities in access to opportunities. Through the Housing Element process mandated by the State of California, e ach jurisdiction has identified various public and/or private policies and practices that have contributed to the fair housing issues identified in this AFH, as well as efforts they are making to promote fair housing . These items are detailed in Section IV. This section describes any state or local fair housing laws and the characteristics protected under each law. In the State of California, the Fair Employment and Housing Act (FEHA) and the Unruh Civil Rights Act prohibit discrimination in housing based on the following characteristics: • Race • Color • National origin (including language use restrictions) • Religion • Sex • Familial status (including children under the age of 18 living with parents or legal custodians; pregnant women and people securing custody of children under 18) • Handicap (disability) • Age • Ancestry EXHIBIT 6     City Council 23 – 364 6/3/2025 Orange County 144 25-29 Regional AFH • Citizenship • Gender Identity and Gender Expression • Genetic Information • Immigration Status • Marital Status • Primary Language • Sexual Orientation • Source of Income • Military or veteran status This section describes efforts to increase fair housing compliance and enforcement capacity, and to ensure compliance with existing fair housing and civil rights laws and regulations. Orange County jurisdictions rely on the state and local nonprofit fair housing providers to ensure fair housing compliance and enforcement, including the following organizations: California Civil Rights Department The California Civil Rights Department (CRD), formerly known as the Department of Fair Employment and Housing (DFEH), is responsible for enforcing state fair housing laws that make it illegal to discriminate against or harass someone because of a protected characteristic, that require reasonable accommodations for disabilities, and that prohibit retaliation against someone for exercising their rights. The CRD receives and investigates complaints and provides mediation and conflict resolution services throughout the state. Fair Housing Council of Orange County The Fair Housing Council of Orange County (FHCOC) is a nonprofit with a mission of ensuring access to housing and preserving human rights. FHCOC provides a variety of services in multiple languages, including community outreach and education, homebuyer education, mortgage default counseling, landlord-tenant mediation, and limited low-cost advocacy. In addition to these client services, FHCOC investigates claims of housing discrimination and assists with referrals to the state. FHCOC currently works in Anahe im, Santa Ana, Fountain Valley, Lake Forest, Laguna Niguel, Rancho Santa Margarita, the City of Orange, and Orange County. Fair Housing Foundation The Fair Housing Foundation (FHF) serves parts of Los Angeles County and several cities in Orange County, including Aliso Viejo, Buena Park, Costa Mesa, Fullerton, Garden Grove, Huntington Beach, Irvine, La Habra, Mission Viejo, Newport Beach, Orange, San Clemente, Tustin, and Westminster. FHF provides landlord-tenant counseling and mediation, rental housing counseling, and community outreach and education. In addition, the FHF screens EXHIBIT 6     City Council 23 – 365 6/3/2025 Orange County 145 25-29 Regional AFH fair housing complaints, investigates through testing, and either engages in conciliation or mediation efforts or refers the complaints to the appropriate administrative agencies. This section describes the status of any unresolved findings, lawsuits, enforcement actions, settlements, or judgments in which the program participant has been a party related to fair housing or other civil rights laws in the jurisdiction. There are no unresolved findings, lawsuits, enforcement actions, settlements, or judgments in which the program participants have been a party related to fair housing or other civil rights laws in the jurisdictions. EXHIBIT 6     City Council 23 – 366 6/3/2025 Orange County 146 25-29 Regional AFH IV. Fair Housing Issues and Action Plan For each participating jurisdiction, this section outlines (1) the issues identified in the preceding analysis; (2) the factors that create, contribute to, perpetuate, or increase the severity of each fair housing issue; and (3) the actions each jurisdiction has taken or will take to address those contributing factors in order to Affirmatively Further Fair Housing. The actions listed below are included in the most recently approved and adopted Housing Element for each jurisdiction, and include actions taken to affirmatively further fair housing since the adoption of the Orange County Analysis of Impediments to Fair Housing Choice in 2020. A. Orange County Urban County Across the Urban County jurisdictions, the preceding analysis identified the following fair housing issues: • Disparities in Access to Opportunities: Hispanic residents, and particularly those living below the FPL, have the least access to low poverty neighborhoods, neighborhoods in close proximity to high performing schools, and neighborhoods with high labor force participation and human capital. • Disproportionate Housing Needs: Housing cost burden is an issue for renters across Orange County, including in the Urban County jurisdictions. Additionally, there are racial/ethnic disparities in homeownership. Specifically, Black, Latino, and Native American households have low homeownership rates compared to White and AAPI households. The Black homeownership rate, the lowest among all groups, is approximately half the White homeownership rate, which is the highest. Within the jurisdictions that make up the Urban County, the following additional fair housing issues were identified: • Unincorporated Orange County o Segregation: There are areas of high White segregation in the unincorporated areas east of Rancho Santa Margarita, in North Tustin, in Orange Park Acres , and in Rossmoor. • Brea o Disparities in Access to Opportunity: Based on analysis of fair housing complaint data, individuals with disabilities disproportionately experience discrimination in housing. • Cypress o Segregation: There are areas of high POC segregation (which are predominantly AAPI neighborhoods), and there is overlap between the location of publicly supported housing, including a high rate of voucher use, EXHIBIT 6     City Council 23 – 367 6/3/2025 Orange County 147 25-29 Regional AFH and areas of high POC segregation in the neighborhood near King Elementary School, in the north of the city. o Disparities in Access to Opportunity: Based on analysis of fair housing complaint data, individuals with disabilities disproportionately experience discrimination in housing. • Dana Point o Segregation: There are areas of high White segregation in the city. o Disparities in Access to Opportunity: Based on analysis of fair housing complaint data, individuals with disabilities disproportionately experience discrimination in housing. • La Palma o Segregation: There are areas of high POC segregation in the city, which are predominantly AAPI neighborhoods. • Laguna Beach o Segregation: There are areas of high White segregation in the city. o Disparities in Access to Opportunity: Based on analysis of fair housing complaint data, individuals with disabilities disproportionately experience discrimination in housing. • Laguna Hills o Segregation: There are areas of high White segregation in the city. o Disparities in Access to Opportunity: Based on analysis of fair housing complaint data, individuals with disabilities disproportionately experience discrimination in housing. • Laguna Woods o Segregation: There are areas of high White segregation in the city. o Disparities in Access to Opportunity: Based on analysis of fair housing complaint data, individuals with disabilities disproportionately experience discrimination in housing. • Placentia o Segregation and R/ECAPs: There are areas of high White segregation in the north of the city, and high POC segregation areas in the southwest corner of the city. The high POC segregation area also has several publicly supported housing units, including a high rate of voucher use. Additionally, in this part of the city, the neighborhoods south of Orangethorpe Avenue are a R/ECAP. The R/ECAP Tract is predominantly Hispanic, as are the neighborhoods to the west and south in Fullerton and Anaheim. o Disparities in Access to Opportunity: Based on analysis of fair housing complaint data, individuals with disabilities disproportionately experience discrimination in housing. Geographically, southwestern Placentia neighborhoods have low access to environmental health, high poverty, low EXHIBIT 6     City Council 23 – 368 6/3/2025 Orange County 148 25-29 Regional AFH economic scores, and are not located in a high-quality transit area. As noted above, this part of the city is a high POC segregation area that is predominantly Hispanic. • San Juan Capistrano o Segregation: There is a high POC segregation area that is predominantly Hispanic. There is overlap between the location of publicly supported housing, including a high rate of voucher use, and the areas of high POC segregation in the Census Tract that encompasses the interchange between I-5 and the Ortega Highway (SR-74). o Disparities in Access to Opportunity: Based on analysis of fair housing complaint data, individuals with disabilities disproportionately experience discrimination in housing. Geographically, the neighborhoods around the I-5 and the Ortega Highway (SR-74) interchange experience poor environmental health and have low economic scores. This is a high POC segregation area and is predominantly Hispanic. • Seal Beach o Segregation: There are areas of high White segregation in the city. o Disparities in Access to Opportunity: Based on analysis of fair housing complaint data, individuals with disabilities disproportionately experience discrimination in housing. • Stanton o Segregation: There are areas of high POC segregation in the city, which are predominantly Hispanic or AAPI neighborhoods . There are overlaps between the location of publicly supported housing, including a high rate of voucher use, and areas of high POC segregation throughout the city. o Disparities in Access to Opportunity: Based on analysis of fair housing complaint data, individuals with disabilities disproportionately experience discrimination in housing. Additionally, all Stanton residents experience low access to environmentally healthy neighborhoods, and residents in the neighborhoods on the south side of Katella Avenue and on the eastside of Beach Boulevard north of Katella Avenue also experience high exposure to poverty. • Villa Park o Segregation: There are areas of high White segregation in the city. • Yorba Linda o Segregation: There are areas of high POC segregation in the northern area of the city, which is predominantly AAPI, and areas of high White segregation elsewhere The contributing factors to each of the fair housing issues listed above, along with each jurisdictions’ fair housing goals and actions, are outlined as follows: EXHIBIT 6     City Council 23 – 369 6/3/2025 Orange County 149 25-29 Regional AFH 1.

Dana Point Issue: Segregation, Disparities in Access to Opportunity, and Disproportionate Housing Needs Contributing Factors: 1. Low rates of HCV use. Despite high rates of overpayment for rental households, the use of housing vouchers is low. This may be due to stigma associated with the use of Housing Vouchers, both by property owners and tenants. 2. School performance. Disadvantaged students at schools serving Dana Point residents may be falling behind other students in the school and compared to those across the state. Both elementary schools in Dana Point are ranked much lower compared to other elem entary schools that serve Dana Point residents. 3. Income and Diversity. The City lacks a substantial number of suitable housing sites in moderate / high / highest opportunity areas; many of these areas are largely built out with single-family homes. The majority of available housing sites are in Census Tracts that already have a higher concentration of low-income residents. 4. Lack of regional coordination and lack of public/private investment. Dana Point and surrounding cities generally address the need and solutions for affordable housing and homeless shelters in an independent manner, which causes them to compete against one another for funds and eliminates opportunities to pool resources. 5. Potential community opposition. While there is little community opposition to a proposed affordable project (e.g., there was community support for Silver Lantern), additional regional collaboration can help to mitigate community opposition that may arise in the future (whether an affordable housing project or homeless shelter).

La Palma Issue: Segregation, Disparities in Access to Opportunity and Disproportionate Housing Need s Contributing Factors: 1. Some residents who are in need of fair housing resources, including low-income households, individuals with disabilities, racial/ethnic minorities and other protected classes, may be unaware of the fair housing resources that are available. Although information about fair housing services is posted on the City website and in public offices, more could be d one to make this information available. 2. Lack of access to opportunity due to high housing costs is a significant contributing factor to fair housing throughout the region. All areas of La Palma are classified as high opportunity.

Villa Park Issue: Segregation, Disparities in Access to Opportunity, and Disproportionate Housing Needs Contributing Factors: 1. Lack of local private fair housing outreach and enforcement may be a significant contributing factor to fair housing issues in Orange County. Although Orange County is served by two high- quality private, nonprofit fair housing organizations, they are underfunded and understaffed in comparison to the total need for their services. Victims of discrimination would be more able to exercise their rights, thus deterring future discriminatio n, if the capacity of existing organizations grew to meet the scale of the problem. 2. Lack of local public fair housing outreach and enforcement may also be a significant contributing factor to fair housing issues in Orange County. There are no local public entities that conduct fair housing outreach and enforcement, with the California Department of Fair Employment and Housing and HUD constituting the only public enforcement bodies that operate in Orange County. Advocates across Orange County and the state of California have reported issues with the timeline of the California Department of Fair Employment and Housing’s investigations and the standards that it applies in making probable cause determinations. A local public enforcement agency, if created, would have the potential to be more responsive to victims of discrimination in Orange County than either the state or HUD. 3. Lack of access to opportunity due to high housing costs may be a significant contributing factor to fair housing issues in Orange County. Increasing housing affordability would make it easier for low-income households to access the types of services and am enities that further social mobility. 4. General lack of a range of affordable housing opportunities, including limited affordable housing options for families 5. Limited opportunity for residential development in sites accommodating multiple family development. Actions: Timeframe: 1.

Annually EXHIBIT 6     City Council 23 – 419 6/3/2025 Orange County 199 25-29 Regional AFH B. Aliso Viejo Issue: Concentration Most of the city is considered an area of high White concentration, except for a few neighborhoods with low-medium concentration (which are predominantly White) in the northern and eastern parts of the city. Since 1990, levels of concentration have been increasing but remain low. Contributing Factors: 1. Location and type of affordable housing. 2. Limited access to opportunity due to high housing costs. 3. Insufficient fair housing outreach and enforcement. 4. Availability of affordable housing. 5.

EXHIBIT 6     City Council 23 – 421 6/3/2025 Orange County 201 25-29 Regional AFH C. Anaheim Issue: Segregation, including R/ECAPs; and Disproportionate Housing Needs. While segregation levels overall in Anaheim are low, the city has neighborhoods considered to be areas of high POC segregation north of downtown and along SR -91, and south of downtown and adjacent to Disneyland. These areas are predominantly Hispanic . The neighborhoods north and south of downtown also have a higher percentage of overcrowded units than other neighborhoods in the city, and the areas north of downtown are home to multiple publicly supported housing developments. Additionally, housing cost burden is an issue for renters throughout Orange County. Anaheim also has one R/ECAP to the northeast of Disneyland, along Ball Rd and I-5. This Census Tract is predominantly Hispanic, as are all the surrounding neighborhoods. Additionally, Anaheim Hills is considered an area of high White segregation. Contributing Factors: Historic practices of redlining and legal racial segregation have created many of the residential patterns that still exist today. Additionally, the high cost of land and existing housing in Anaheim (and throughout Orange County) are significant constraints to the development of new affordable housing and access for families to existing housing. Actions: Timeframe: Increase the supply of affordable housing in high Opportunity areas through the following actions: 1. Disseminate on the City’s website, information material to promote and facilitate implementation of state and City regulations and incentives to create affordable housing. 2.

Continue to seek opportunities to defray costs associated with construction to homeowners. Continue to refine existing review process for ADUs not using pre-approved plans. EXHIBIT 6     City Council 23 – 422 6/3/2025 Orange County 202 25-29 Regional AFH 7. Develop, subject to funding availability, a program to facilitate the construction of deed- restricted ADUs. Continue to refine existing review process for ADUs using pre-approved plans and expand pre-approved plan catalog. Continue to support and promote programs such as the Orange County Housing Finance Trust’s Affordable ADU Loan Program, when offered. Continue to seek potential local, state, and/or federal funds to establish an Anaheim Housing Authority affordable ADU grant/loan program. In conjunction with Annual Progress Report, identify and track ADU construction in high and highest resource areas/Racially Concentrated Areas of Affluence (RCAAs). Conduct review by October 2025, and if ADU construction is disproportional to the number of units, develop targeted outreach with a goal of improving the ADU/overall dwelling unit metric for the areas relative to other residential areas in the City. 8. Continue to regularly monitor deed- restricted, affordable housing units that exist citywide. 9. Collaborate with nonprofit housing providers and develop a preservation strategy to meet the City’s Quantified Objective for preserving 60 At-Risk Units (30 Very Low- and 30 Low- Income). Continue monitoring all deed-restricted affordable housing units annually and add new properties as applicable. Develop preservation strategy for 60 units converting in 2027 – 2031. Issue: Disparities in Access to Opportunities Hispanic residents have the least access to low-poverty neighborhoods, neighborhoods close to high performing schools, and neighborhoods with high labor force participation and human capital. Geographically, neighborhoods near the downtown have low environmental health, low education scores, low economic scores; but good access to HQTAs. Conversely, Anaheim Hills, which is a predominantly White area, has the best access to environmentally healthy neighborhoods with low poverty rates, high education scores, and high economic scores. Additionally, based on analysis of fair housing complaint data, individuals with disabilities disproportionately experience discrimination in housing. EXHIBIT 6     City Council 23 – 423 6/3/2025 Orange County 203 25-29 Regional AFH Contributing Factors: A lack of affordable housing in high opportunity areas (due to the factors discussed above) contributes to the disparities in access to opportunities. Additionally, specific groups in the city face the unique housing challenges that impact access to opportunity, including: • Seniors: o Having limited and fixed incomes. o Disproportionately higher healthcare costs, adding monthly living costs. o Require customized housing features due to mobility and self-care limitations. o Transit dependency. o Limited in-home support, due to living alone. • Individuals with physical and developmental disabilities: o Need for specialized housing to accommodate disabilities. o Higher incidence of dependent living needs. o High incidence of unemployment and having fixed income. o Need for supportive services. • Large person households: o Lack of affordable housing with sufficient bedroom counts. o Options for larger bedroom counts in rental units . o Higher monthly cost burden. o Affordable options for large family households. o Childcare needs for working families. • Single parent households o Affordable housing options. o Rental and for sale housing options. o Higher monthly cost burdens with single-income families. o Childcare needs for working families. • Farmworker households o Affordable housing options. o Higher incidents of cost burden for housing. o Rental and for sale housing options. • Extremely Low-Income households: o Need for increased affordable housing options. o Markedly higher incidents of cost burden for housing. o Need for smaller housing unit options such as SRO’s. o Rental assistance. o Higher incidents of homelessness. o Higher likelihood for transitional and supportive housing. • Residents experiencing homelessness: o Need for increased affordable housing options. o Need for smaller housing unit options such as SRO’s. o Rental assistance. o Higher likelihood for transitional and supportive housing. o Need for emergency shelters. o Need for stable health care.

Costa Mesa Issue: Segregation and R/ECAPs There is moderate segregation between Hispanic and White residents in the city, though these levels declined slightly between 2000 -2010. Geographically, the neighborhoods between downtown and the Costa Mesa Country Club are areas of high POC segregation, with a predominantly Hispanic population. The largest number of publicly supported housing units and the highest concentration of vouchers in the city is in this area. The city’s one R/ECAP is also located here, in the neighborhood between Newport Avenue and Placentia Avenue, south of 19th Street. The neighborhoods in East Side Costa Mesa (east of SR-55 and south of Mesa Drive) are all areas of high White segregation, as are the neighborhoods north of the Country Club and the neighborhoods between Estancia High School and Canyon Park.

Issue: Disparities in Access to Opportunities Hispanic residents have the least access to low-poverty neighborhoods, neighborhoods close to high performing schools, and neighborhoods with high labor force participation and human capital. Geographically, the neighborhoods downtown and west of downtown are less environmentally healthy and have lower education and economic scores. These are also predominantly Hispanic neighborhoods. Conversely, neighborhoods east of Newport Boulevard (SR-55), which are predominantly White, have higher education and econom ic scores, are more environmentally healthy, and have lower poverty rates. Additionally, Black, Hispanic, and Native American residents are less likely to own their home than White and AAPI residents. Additionally, based on analysis of fair housing complaint data, individuals with disabilities disproportionately experience discrimination in housing. Contributing Factors: 1. Unfair lending practices 2. Approximately 86 percent of housing units were built prior to 1989 before the Fair Housing Act and state laws regarding accessibility requirements for individuals with disabilities were adopted. Actions: Timeframe: The City will take the following meaningful actions, in addition to resisting discrimination, to foster inclusive communities free from barriers that restrict access to opportunity based on protected characteristic, as defined by California law: 1. Continue to contract with the Fair Housing Foundation or other fair housing service provider and provide information regarding the Public Law Center to address Housing Discrimination and unfair lending, including promoting mediation services, foreclosure assistance and/or multilingual tenant legal counseling services. Promote available services on the City’s webpage. Ongoing 2. Continue operating the Owner-Occupied Housing Rehabilitation Program, which may be used to assist qualified property owners in improving single-family residential properties, including health and safety repairs such as mechanical plumbing, electrical, roofing, security, medical emergency requirements, On an annual basis, provide informational materials on the Owner‐Occupied Housing Rehabilitation program; encourage the participation of seniors, veterans, and disabled residents in EXHIBIT 6     City Council 23 – 432 6/3/2025 Orange County 212 25-29 Regional AFH and/or aid the mobility of the physically disabled and/or elderly. this program; and evaluate the effectiveness of this program and, if necessary, modify program characteristics. 3. Increase the availability of accessible housing for individuals with disabilities through the following actions: • Review and revise the Reasonable Accommodation procedure to promote access to housing for individuals with disabilities, address potential constraints and establish potential objective standards, and provide guidance and amend as necessary to promote greater certainty on how approval findings will be implemented. • Meet with local organizations and developers to promote access to housing for individuals with disabilities and address potential constraints. The City is currently in the process of reviewing its Reasonable Accommodation procedures and anticipates bringing any recommendations to Planning Commission and City Council in 2025. Other efforts are ongoing. 4. Increase the availability of transitional and supportive housing through the following actions: • Amend the Zoning Code to include transitional and permanent supportive housing within the City’s land use matrix in compliance with Senate Bill 2 and Government Code Section 65651. • Monitor the inventory of sites appropriate to accommodate transitional and supportive housing. • Proactively engage relevant organizations to meet the needs of individuals experiencing homelessness and extremely low‐income residents, including the Costa Mesa Network for Homeless Solutions, which aims to provide a comprehensive system programs and services for residents experiencing homelessness and those at risk of homelessness. Revise Zoning Code in 2025. Other efforts are ongoing. 5. Review and revise the City’s Zoning Code and application procedures applicable to group homes to promote objectivity and greater approval certainty similar to other residential uses. The City is currently in the process of reviewing its Group Homes procedures and anticipates bringing any recommendations to Planning Commission and City Council in 2025. EXHIBIT 6     City Council 23 – 433 6/3/2025 Orange County 213 25-29 Regional AFH F. Fountain Valley Issue: Disproportionate Housing Needs Housing cost burden is an issue for renters throughout Orange County, including Fountain Valley . Contributing Factors: 1. Stigma associated with Housing Vouchers: A large percentage of rental households in Fountain Valley spend more than 30 and 50 percent of household income on monthly rent and utilities. While this may be due in part to residents being willing to pay more for access to high performing school districts, there may also be a stigma associated with the use of Housing Vouchers, both by property owners and tenants. 2. Lack of additional housing options. The City’s housing supply has not increased at a rate commensurate with regional demand, driving costs higher and limit housing choices for existing residents looking to remain in Fountain Valley (adult children eager to move out of their parent’s house and older adults looking to downsize) and potential new residents looking for more affordable options in Fountain Valley. Actions: Timeframe: Expand voucher use by 50 tenants by 2028, and extend affordability term of 70 units in the Guadalupe Manor an additional 20-30 years by 2029, through the following actions: 1. Coordinate with OCHA to generate a detailed understanding of where overpayment rates are highest in the city (as of latest available Census data), where vouchers are and are not used, and how many tenants could potentially qualify at each multifamily property in target areas. By 2028 2. Update Development Code consistent with state law and produce residential project flow-chart and/or informational sheets, consistent with SB 35 and SB 330. By 2026 3. Coordinate with OCHA and FHCOC to develop an outreach plan and materials to communicate the benefits of vouchers. By 2026 4. Complete study of options to augment/adjust affordable housing preservation program for possible application of funds for those overpaying. By 2026 5. Distribute outreach materials through means that reach target populations (e.g., those receiving subsidized school lunches). Conduct direct outreach to five properties (tenants and owners) in Census Tracts illustrating high rates of rental overpayment. By 2026 6. Secure extended affordability for Guadalupe Manor through at least 2058. By 2029 EXHIBIT 6     City Council 23 – 434 6/3/2025 Orange County 214 25-29 Regional AFH Increase supply of affordable housing through the following efforts: 1. Evaluate options to apply affirmative advertising requirements to income- restricted units in the Slater Avenue project. By 2026 2. Adopt Inclusionary Housing Ordinance. By 2024 3. Establish procedures and requirements that will ensure affirmative advertising requirements are applied to and conducted for all future income-restricted housing developments. By 2026 4. Adopt 2045 General Plan. By 2024 5. Adopt appropriate pre-vetted ADU site plans, with the goal of permitting 100 ADUs affordable to lower income households in high and highest resources areas by 2026 (as measured from June 30, 2021). By 2026 EXHIBIT 6     City Council 23 – 435 6/3/2025 Orange County 215 25-29 Regional AFH G. Fullerton Issue: Segregation Areas of the city considered to have high POC segregation include most of the neighborhoods west of Harbor Blvd and north of Malvern Ave, which have predominantly AAPI populations. Contributing Factors: 1. Lack of resources for fair housing agencies to conduct more rigorous testing and audits, outreach, training, public education campaigns. 2. Lack of language access. Actions: Timeframe: 1. Provide informational seminars to area residential real estate agents and brokers on fair housing laws and regulations. Provide training to at least 15 real estate agents and brokers annually. 2. Work with tenants, tenant advocates to identify violations of fair housing federal and state fair housing laws and support prospective and existing tenants who are experiencing discrimination. Annually 3. Provide trainings for property owners/managers on the requirements of federal and state fair housing laws to prevent discrimination.

Review methodology for a Fair Housing Audit by January 2025 5. Affordable Rental Housing Counseling Services: Provide funding for information and referral services that direct families and individuals with financial resources for housing rental or purchase, locating suitable housing, and obtaining housing with special needs facilities such as disabled-accessible units. Hold at least four informational events between 2025-2029; assist at least 50 residents and landlords annually. 6. Create a Language Access Plan based on HUD guidelines and publish on the City’s website: The goal of the Language Access Plan is to survey, maintain and publish a list of multi-lingual staff capacity at City Hall so that staff may respond to the needs of Limited English Proficiency households. Create a Language Access Plan by January 2025. Maintain multilingual staff capacity at City Hall on an ongoing basis. 7. Ensure that local housing programs respond to the needs of a culturally diverse community that includes multi-generational families, a variety of living arrangements, and Limited English Proficiency households.

Add information on fair housing laws and resources on the City’s website regarding housing programs in several languages. By January 2025 9. Seek opportunities to expand outreach and public education strategies on available tenant protection, fair housing services, and homeownership education to reach vulnerable households by offering information in multiple languages, targeted social media efforts, combining information with other assistance programs, distributing resources through local schools and colleges, and partnering with community-based organizations. 2021-2029 Issue: Disparities in Access to Opportunities Hispanic residents have the least access to low-poverty neighborhoods, neighborhoods close to high performing schools, and neighborhoods with high labor force participation and human capital. Geographically, neighborhoods in southeast Fullerton (which are predominantly Hispanic), have relatively low economic and education scores, poor environmental quality, and relatively high poverty rates. Conversely, neighborhoods in the northern part of the city, which are predominantly White or AAPI, have higher education and economic scores, better environmental health, and lower poverty. Additionally, based on analysis of fair housing complaint data, individuals with disabilities disproportionately experience discrimination in housing. Contributing Factors: 1. Location, type, and supply of affordable housing. 2. Land use and zoning laws. 3. The availability, type, frequency, and reliability of public transportation. 4. Location of environmental health hazards 5. Lack of investment in community-based infrastructure and services 6. Lack of access to housing mobility Actions: Timeframe: 1. Implement changes to the in-lieu fee structure and the desire and ability of developers to contribute to an affordable housing trust fund. Adopt incentives such as increased densities, increased height limits, reduced parking standards, and ministerial review for projects that incorporate increased affordable units or deeper levels of affordability. Complete a feasibility study on in-lieu payments to a Housing Trust Fund by January 2026. If feasible, amend the municipal code to allow for an in-lieu fee structure by December 2027 and implement an Inclusionary Housing Ordinance by December 2029.

In compliance with recent updates to the Surplus Land Act (AB 1255, 2019-Rivas; AB 1486, 2019-Ting), identify City-owned land for the development of affordable housing. If surplus properties are identified, pursue development via a competitive Request for Proposals or other processes. Annually, assess the list of surplus sites and solicit development via a competitive RFP process or other forms of partnership such as land lease agreements. 5. Acquire funds from local, state, and federal grant opportunities, including the HCD Infill Infrastructure Grant Program, to support the development of affordable housing, housing for special needs, and support service projects. When a critical mass of state (various HCD programs) and/or federal (CDBG, HOME) funding is available, the City will issue a competitive Notice of Funding Availability with objective criteria to transparently identify the best non-profit affordable housing developer to partner with on new affordable housing developments in the city. Partner with at least one nonprofit housing developer biennially throughout the planning period and support the entitlement of at least 400 subsidized housing units affordable to extremely low-, very low-, and low-income households in the city during the planning period. 6. Partner with Orange County Housing Finance Trust to secure funding for affordable housing in Fullerton. Conduct feasibility study for an affordable housing trust fund by January 2027. 7. Develop a web-based Housing Development Toolkit that outlines a step-by-step process for residential development, including identifying steps in the entitlement and building permit process, detailed information on development incentives, and funding Publish Housing Development Toolkit on City’s website by December 2026. EXHIBIT 6     City Council 23 – 438 6/3/2025 Orange County 218 25-29 Regional AFH programs and resources for affordable housing development. 8. Review the General Plan, applicable Specific Plans, and Zoning Code and Zoning Map to evaluate opportunities for removing barriers to housing production such as adding housing capacity and accommodating a greater mix of dwelling types and sizes in High and Highest Resource areas identified by the California Tax Credit Allocation Committee (TCAC), focusing efforts in northeastern and northwestern Fullerton. Recommend amendments, as necessary, to accommodate added housing capacity in these areas. Additionally, review the Zoning Code to identify opportunities to increase and encourage a greater mix of dwelling types and sizes, specifically housing types that may accommodate moderate-income households (e.g., duplexes, triplexes, fourplexes, townhouses, courtyard buildings), in lower- density residential areas and mixed-use zones citywide and amend the Zoning Code as needed (i.e., implementation of LTD). Review the General Plan, applicable Specific Plan, and Zoning Code and Zoning Map by June 2025 and implement any changes by January 2026. Following adoption of zoning code changes, monitor at least 1,801 moderate-income units and 2,238 lower- income units to be constructed annually in High and Highest Resource areas as designated by TCAC. Permit the development of at least 150 moderate- income dwelling types in the neighborhoods of E Las Palmas Dr/N Sunnywood Dr, Craig Park, Sunny Hills, Bastanchury Rd/Fairway Isles Dr, Acacia Park, and Byerrum Park (Racially Concentrated Areas of Affluence) by the end of 2029. 9.

Issue: Disproportionate Housing Needs Housing cost burden is an issue for renters across Orange County, including in Fullerton. More than 20% of all units are overcrowded in the neighborhoods south of downtown, which are predominantly Hispanic. Contributing Factors: 1. Displacement of residents due to economic pressures. 2. Location, type, and supply of affordable housing 3. Land use and zoning laws Actions: Timeframe: 1. Develop an outreach strategy in multiple languages for property owners who own fewer than 10 residential units (either in single-family or multi-family rental housing) to assess needs and connect them with resources, such as housing unit rehabilitation and financing programs. The intent of this program is to preserve Naturally Occurring Affordable Housing (i.e., not currently regulated with affordability restrictions), particularly in the neighborhoods of Woodcrest Park and Rancho La Paz. The program will seek to prioritize communities vulnerable to displacement, generally in the Develop an outreach strategy for “mom and pop” property owners by January 2026. After the strategy is adopted, conduct outreach to at least 15 property owners with less than 10 units and assist at least 5 property owners with a combined total of 20 units or more by December 2029.

Garden Grove Issue: Segregation and R/ECAPs, Disparities in Access to Opportunities, and Disparities in Access to Homeownership The majority of the city is considered an area of high POC segregation except for West Garden Grove. In West Garden Grove, the residential neighborhoods west of Knott St are considered areas of high White segregation. In the high POC segregation areas, AAPI residents are the predominant group west of 9th St and Hispanic residents are the predominant group east of there. Additionally, there are lots of publicly supported housing units in the center of city along Garden Grove Boulevard, which is a high POC segregation area. There are no publicly supported housing units in West Garden Grove, which is an area of high White segregation. There is a R/ECAP in the northern part of the city to between Brookhurst St and Gilbert St, north of Chapman Ave. The R/ECAP tract is predominantly Hispanic and is surrounded by Census Tracts that are predominantly AAPI. Hispanic and AAPI residents have the least access to low poverty neighborhoods and neighborhoods with high labor force participation and human capital. Additionally, Hispanic residents also have the least access to neighborhoods with high performing school s. Geographically, the neighborhoods with access to the most opportunities are in West Garden Grove, where education and economic scores are high, environmental quality is high, and poverty is low. West Garden Grove is a predominantly White area. The Black and Hispanic homeownership rate in the city is half the White homeownership rate. Contributing Factors: 1. Lack of affordable, accessible housing in a range of unit sizes. 2. Inadequate supply/production of affordable housing. 3. Displacement of residents due to regional economic pressures. 4. Housing discrimination. 5. High land and development costs in the region. 6. Public opposition to new development and land use and zoning laws. 7. Access to financial services. 8. Lack of meaningful language access for individuals with limited English proficiency. 9. Lack of private investment in specific neighborhoods. Actions: Timeframe: 1.

Irvine Issue: Segregation, Disparities in Access to Opportunities, and Disproportionate Housing Needs There are several Census Tracts considered to be areas of high POC segregation, including the neighborhoods between I-405 and UC Irvine, the Westpark community north of I-405, the neighborhoods between Como Channel and I-5, and the Northwood community north of I-5. There are also areas of high White segregation in Irvine, including the neighborhood bounded by Turtle Rock Dr, the area surrounding the Strawberry Farms Golf Club, the Woodbridge community north of I-405, and the neighborhood west of the Oak Creek Golf Club. Based on analysis of fair housing complaint data, individuals with disabilities disproportionately experience discrimination in housing. Housing cost burden is an issue for renters across Orange County, including in Irvine. Homeownership rates are lower for all racial/ethnic groups compared to the County overall, and racial/ethnic disparities are similar to the County, with Black and Hispanic households having the lowest homeownership rates (15.7% and 18% respectively). Contributing Factors: 1. Shortage of affordable rental and homeownership options due to market and governmental constraints 2. Underutilized properties (i.e., retail centers and hotels) could provide new affordable housing opportunities for Irvine residents, but current land use and zoning laws inhibit this development 3. Lack of supportive housing in community-based settings 4. Lack of renter protections and economic uncertainty from pandemic increased risk of displacement for lower income households Actions: Timeframe: 1. The City will continue to pursue alternative options for meeting the RHNA through preservation, legislative changes, and regional cooperation. The City will apply for all available funding to pursue acquisition/rehabilitation of affordable housing projects and preservation of at-risk housing. Annually 2. The City will incorporate changes in State law (particularly affordable housing, employee housing, emergency shelters, and transitional/supportive housing, ADUs) into the Land Use Element and Zoning Ordinance. This will involve allowing for increased densities or FAR in both residential and non- residential areas to adhere to RHNA requirements. Other General Plan elements will be updated to ensure consistency with the updated Housing and Land Use Elements, as well as the Zoning Ordinance Completed 3. The City will establish zoning overlays to allow for multifamily residential in nonresidential areas (which may include properties By October 2024 EXHIBIT 6     City Council 23 – 450 6/3/2025 Orange County 230 25-29 Regional AFH designated for religious institutions and schools) to provide flexibility in land use and development standards, including mixed- use developments. These flexible standards shall be directed toward meeting the physical, social, and economic needs of the community. The City will adhere to the requirements of California Government Code, Section 65583.2, subdivisions (h) and (i), as part of the rezoning program, including applicable by-right provisions, and the residential overlay zones in nonresidential areas will allow for densities of 30 units/acre, allow for 100 percent residential use, and will require residential use to occupy 50 percent of floor area on mixed use projects. 4. The City will encourage the subdivision of sites that are 10 acres or more to provide more opportunities for development of affordable housing, which the HCD has determined is more feasible on sites between 0.5 and 10 acres in size. City will conduct a review every 2 years 5. The City will work with UCI to draft an agreement regarding approving, permitting, certifying occupancy, and/or reporting new units to the California State Department of Finance (DOF). The agreement will involve documentation from UCI on planned housing that has been approved to be built as well as information on the timing of the project construction and unit affordability by household income category. By January 2022, and ongoing 6. The City will seek to amend the fee collection process for land divisions and lot line adjustments resulting in parcel sizes that facilitate multifamily developments affordable to households with lower incomes (including extremely low income and farmworker s) in light of State, Federal, and local financing programs (i.e., 2–10 acres). Within 12 months of Housing Element certification 7. The City will also identify potential property owners and nonprofit developers by the end of FY 2022-23 and work with them on an annual basis to target and market the availability of sites with the best potential for development. In addition, the City will offer incentives for the development of affordable housing. Within 12 months of Housing Element certification 8. The City will expedite development of housing projects for seniors, people with disabilities, and lower-income people and/or households As projects are proposed 9. The City will review the current Development Standards and update as appropriate to encourage residential, mixed-use, and transit- oriented developments By October 2022 EXHIBIT 6     City Council 23 – 451 6/3/2025 Orange County 231 25-29 Regional AFH 10. To expedite the process of finding resources and incentives, the City will gather information on the available incentives/concessions for developers within a year of the City’s Housing Element Update certification. The City will then develop and post an overview of the available incentives/concessions for developers on the City’s website and updates will be performed on an annual basis. The goal of this program is either expedite the time it takes to obtain development approvals and/or incentives that provide cost savings on housing projects, thereby improving and increasing the financial feasibility of affordable housing projects Within one (1) year of Housing Element certification 11. To decrease the entitlement and construction process, following the adoption of the Housing Element the City will designate a dedicated planner, plan checker, and building inspector(s) to provide expedited processing for affordable housing projects, with a n emphasis on projects that include extremely low-income units. The goal of this program is to expedite the affordable housing development process to accelerate the availability of affordable housing units in the community, which also has the effect of reducing development costs By October 2022 12. Hold one (1) outreach meeting or survey with affordable housing developers and providers each year after the state budget funding for the next fiscal year are made public (by October of each year) to discuss available funding sources (City, state and feder al), sites identified in the Housing Element sites inventory that are available, developer needs and opportunities for affordable housing projects. Provide technical assistance to developers regarding City’s lower income sites, funding opportunities, as well as mixed use zoning and density bonus incentives October of each program year 13. The City will establish streamlined, ministerial review procedures and processes for qualifying multi-family residential projects consistent with SB 35 By May 2023 14. The City will update the current Zoning Ordinance to establish higher density in areas with underdeveloped/underutilized property, such as Planning Areas 32 (adjacent to the Irvine Station served by Amtrak/Metrolink passenger rail services and Orange County Transportation Authority bus services), 33, and 36 (a.k.a., Irvine Business Complex or “IBC” near John Wayne Airport). This update will maximize land utilization for residential development to accommodate RHNA requirements, including allowing residential overlays in commercial areas to allow for residential to be added to commercial areas or to allow existing underutilized commercial uses to be converted to residential (i.e., hotels) By October 2024 EXHIBIT 6     City Council 23 – 452 6/3/2025 Orange County 232 25-29 Regional AFH 15. Multiple State laws have been passed since 2019 establishing statewide standards for local regulations governing ADU development. State law requires that ADUs be allowed in residential and mixed-use areas despite local ordinances or homeowner’s association rules and requirements. Additionally, State law requires jurisdictions to develop a plan to encourage and incentivize ADUs in an effort to address the current California housing crisis. By January 2023 16. Assembly Bill (AB) 671 requires local agencies’ Housing Elements to include a plan that incentivizes and promotes the creation of ADUs that can offer affordable rents for households with very-low-, low-, or moderate-income households. As part of the ADU or dinance update (including public outreach), the City will research feasible options to facilitate affordable housing options for ADUs By October 2024 17. Housing Elements to include a plan that incentivizes and promotes the creation of ADUs that can offer affordable rents for households with very-low-, low-, or moderate-income households. As part of the ADU ordinance update (including public outreach), the City will research feasible options to facilitate affordable housing options for ADUs By the end of 2022 and begin providing incentives by January 2023 18. The City will provide financial and other available assistance to affordable housing property owners to preserve units. The committed assistance may consist of both financial and non - financial, in-kind services to incentivize the preservation of affordable units. The total number of units to be preserved are seven extremely low, 517 very low and 299 low-income units By June 30, 2025 19. The City will continue to monitor and preserve the affordability of all publicly assisted housing units, and support applications by nonprofits Ongoing 20. The Sites Inventory includes four non- vacant sites with existing residential uses. The sites are currently combined and house an 880- unit apartment building. In considering a demolition and new construction of residential development at the site (that increases the total number of units), the City is proposing the incorporation of 465 deed- restricted units affordable to very low - and low-income households on this site, generating replacement units for any units that may be inhabited by very low- and low-income families. As development projects are proposed (timing dependent on development community) 21. In addition to providing funding opportunities related to HUD programs on the City’s website, funding opportunities will be disseminated via targeted email notifications and may also be posted Ongoing EXHIBIT 6     City Council 23 – 453 6/3/2025 Orange County 233 25-29 Regional AFH on all City social media accounts and include information on vacant land currently owned by the City. 22. The City will access information from HCD and other State agencies to identify grant application opportunities for affordable housing. When grant opportunities are known, the City will reach out to affordable developer stakeholders to identify projects and/or opportunities to include on grant applications. The City will apply or support a minimum of three (3) grant application each year. The goal of this program would be to increase the amount of funding available for affordable housing projects, which require public subsidies to be built. Timing dependent on State HCD and other departments 23. The City will retain a consultant to conduct a feasibility study on increasing the inclusionary housing requirement from 15 percent (5 percent very low, 5 percent low, and 5 percent moderate) to 20 percent (9 percent very low, 6 percent low, and 5 percent moderate). The policy changes proposed to Planning Commission and City Council, if deemed feasible in the study, will include increasing the inclusionary requirement to 20 percent with corresponding updated in-lieu fee By October 2024 24. The City will identify and analyze local funding options for affordable housing and monitor new funding and financing resources each year. This program will also include using State and Federal funding received by the City to partner with nonprofit organizations (such as the ICLT), as the commitment of City funding can enhance the scoring of 100 percent affordable projects to secure important funding sources, such as low- income housing tax credits (LIHTCs) that have become highly competitive. Annually 25. The City will identify and utilize State programs and/or potential public/private partnerships with major employers to acquire existing market rate housing units or develop new housing units to create moderate or workforce housing (available to households with incomes at 80 percent to 120 percent of AMI) Ongoing 26. The City will follow all requirements of the Surplus Land Act, Article 8 (commencing with Section 54220) of Chapter 5 of Part 1 of Division 2 of Title 5, including holding a public hearing designating the properties as “surplus properties” under California Law. The City will also conduct an analysis to determine, based on market conditions, if selling or leasing the properties would maximize the development of affordable units. The City will then send a Notice of Availability to all required parties regarding the availability of County-owned land available for purchase or lease. It is the City’s intent to facilitate the Surplus Land Act activities to be completed by October 2024 and Notice of Availability by December 2025 EXHIBIT 6     City Council 23 – 454 6/3/2025 Orange County 234 25-29 Regional AFH development of 100 percent affordable housing projects on vacant or underutilized City- owned sites.

Annually Issue: Disproportionate Housing Needs Housing cost burden is an issue for renters across Orange County, including in Santa Ana. Additionally, more than 20% of housing units are overcrowded in most of the city’s neighborhoods. Contributing Factors: 1. High cost of housing in the private market 2. High cost of housing repairs/rehabilitation Actions: Timeframe: 1. Implement the City’s Rent Stabilization and Just Cause Eviction Ordinance for tenants facing housing instability, including ongoing outreach and education, a program monitor system, and a schedule of penalties that may be imposed for noncompliance. Provide tenant protections beyond state mandates. Annually 2. Provide housing assistance payments to eligible households participating in the Housing Choice Voucher Program and adhere to policies and procedures in the federal regulations and the Housing Choice Voucher Program Administrative Plan. Administer 100 percent of the funding provided to the Housing Authority annually for eligible households. This includes Special Purpose Vouchers including the Veterans Affairs Supportive Housing Program; Mainstream Voucher Program; Foster Youth to Independence Program; and Emergency Housing Voucher Program.

Tustin Issue: Segregation There is moderate segregation between Hispanic and White residents. There is a concentration of publicly supported housing units in the south, in neighborhoods that are predominantly AAPI. Contributing Factors: 1. Lack of affordable housing opportunities. Actions: Timeframe: 1. Engage linguistically isolated communities by translating official City announcements (i.e., community meeting, hearings, etc.) to Spanish and disseminating printed copies of information to renters, property owners, and via social media, to expand knowledge of affordable housing options in High Opportunity Areas. Ongoing 2. Conduct at least one community informational meeting in areas that lack affordable housing opportunities and that exhibit high segregation, on an annual basis. Annually 3. Improve housing conditions in segregated areas establishing a multi -family quality rental housing inspection program that focuses on high segregation areas. The City will receive at least one monthly referral from the City’s Neighborhood Improvement Task Force (NITF) (NITF includes Code Enforcement, Police, Social Service/County, School District representatives, City staff form various Departments) to identify households in need of this tenant protection and anti-displacement focused program; focused on improving the quality of single family and multi-family residential dwellings by providing technical assistance and funds to repairs substandard housing conditions. The City will conduct at least five multi-family quality rental housing inspections in the program’s first year and will increase the number of annual inspections by 2, each year thereafter, until 2029. 2025 through 2029 EXHIBIT 6     City Council 23 – 489 6/3/2025 Orange County 269 25-29 Regional AFH Issue: Disparities in Access to Opportunities Hispanic residents (especially those living below the FPL) are less likely than other groups to live in close proximity to high performing schools, or in neighborhoods with high labor force participation and human capital; and are more likely to be exposed to poverty in their neighborhoods. Additionally, based on analysis of fair housing complaint data, individuals with disabilities disproportionately experience discrimination in housing. Homeownership rates are very low for Black and Hispanic households, equaling less than half of the homeownership rate for AAPI and White households . Contributing Factors: 1. Lack of affordable housing in high opportunity areas. 2. Lack of public and private investment in low-resource neighborhoods. Actions: Timeframe: 1. Create an ADU/SB 9 accelerator program and focus in High Opportunity Areas within the northeast portion of the City where there are predominately single-family residences to expand housing choices. This program could include a permit fee waiver for affordable housing units, permit fast tracking, and technical assistance. By 2025, the City will adopt a program and mail out information pertaining to the new accelerator program for ADUs and SB 9 developments, specifically to high opportunity areas. 2. Provide technical assistance and permit fast -tracking for new ADU/SB9 development proposals and at least six projects that include housing affordable to lower income households annually through 2029. Fast track a minimum of 10 ADU and/or SB 9 developments in high opportunity areas on an annual basis; reduce review times by 25% compared to year 2022. 3. Translate the City’s Tustin Housing Authority website and factsheets promoting affordable housing opportunities and ancillary support services, such as transit and childcare, into Spanish, and distribute to low resource areas. Annually, 2023 through 2029 4. Tustin Legacy (Tract 744.15) is a Master Planned Community being developed. Although the tract has been identified as low resource, it has been substantially enhanced with new resources within recent years. The area comprises 1,500 acres, of which 800 acres remain for future development of a diverse housing stock, community amenities, and resources. By 2029, the City will continue to implement projects that increase assets in the Specific Plan area as proposed by developers and identified in the Tustin Legacy Backbone Infrastructure By 2029, the City anticipates the Tustin Legacy (Tract 744.15) to be identified as a “high resource” area according to TCAC/HCD Opportunity Map criteria. EXHIBIT 6     City Council 23 – 490 6/3/2025 Orange County 270 25-29 Regional AFH Program. Improvements will provide increased access to safe and decent housing, transportation, recreation, and a healthy environment. 5. Create a “Financial Assistance for Child Care” webpage with information and links to Children’s Home Society of California (CHS) and the Orange County Department of Education (OCDE). These programs provide funding to low-income families for childcare services. The City will work with Tustin Preschool, Kiddie Academy of Tustin, or other local preschool programs within Census Tract 755.14 to advertise and promote financial assistance through pamphlets, e-blasts, and other applicable online community forums (such as Facebook and NextDoor). By December 2022; update annually thereafter Issue: Disproportionate Housing Needs Housing cost burden is an issue for renters across Orange County, including in Tustin. Contributing Factors: 1. Lack of affordable housing. 2. Substandard housing in low-resource areas. 3. High cost of housing repairs/rehabilitation. Actions: Timeframe: 1. The City will partner with a non-profit to develop and launch a CDBG funded Housing Rehabilitation Program to facilitate the repair of dilapidated housing to address lack of plumbing, kitchen facilities and repairs to provide relief of overcrowding. Program partici pants will be provided grants and/or loans to conduct necessary housing updates. Starting in July 2024, the program will facilitate four (4) rehabilitation projects to assist with reducing overcrowding per year and another four (4) projects will assist with general habitability repairs, with a total of eight (8) dwellings assisted annually. 2. The City will amend the zoning code to require all new multi-family projects to provide at least five (5) percent large family units (3+ bedrooms) which will prevent overcrowding and further cost burden, by addressing demand for such units and increasing t he large units into the local housing inventory. Zoning code amended by January 2024. Four (4) large family units will be generated annually, and 32 total by 2029. 3. Improve housing conditions in segregated areas establishing a multi-family quality rental housing inspection program that focuses on high segregation areas. The City will receive at least one monthly referral 2025 through 2029 EXHIBIT 6     City Council 23 – 491 6/3/2025 Orange County 271 25-29 Regional AFH from the City’s Neighborhood Improvement Task Force (NITF) (NITF includes Code Enforcement, Police, Social Service/County, School District representatives, City staff form various Departments) to identify households in need of this tenant protection and anti-displacement focused program; focused on improving the quality of single family and multi-family residential dwellings by providing technical assistance and funds to repairs substandard housing conditions.

EXHIBIT 6     City Council 23 – 492 6/3/2025 Orange County 272 25-29 Regional AFH U. Westminster Issue: Segregation, Disparities in Access to Opportunities, and Disproportionate Housing Needs The majority of the city is considered an area of high POC segregation and has a predominantly AAPI population with a few exceptions. The northwestern corner of the city, between I-405 and Bolsa Chica Rd is an area of high White segregation. The location of publicly supported housing units and areas with highest concentration of vouchers aligns with the high POC segregation areas in the central part of the city. There are no publicly supported housing units, and fewer vouchers in use, in the western parts of the city that are high White segregation, racially integrated, and low-medium segregation areas. AAPI residents are more likely than other groups to be exposed to poverty in their neighborhoods and are less likely than other groups to live in close proximity to high performing schools or jobs. Native American residents living below the FPL are also less likely to live in close proximity to high performing schools or jobs. Additionally, based on analysis of fair housing complaint data, individuals with disabilities disproportionately experience discrimination in housing. There are large racial/ethnic disparities in homeownership. Black, Hispanic, and Native American households have the lowest rates (around 30%), and these rates are less than half the homeownership rate for White households, which is the highest in the city. The AAPI homeownership rate in the city is lower than in the County overal l and is nearly 20 percentage points lower than the White homeownership rate in the city. Housing cost burden is an issue for renters across Orange County, including in Westminster. Contributing Factors: 1. Lack of resources for fair housing agencies and organizations 2. Land use and zoning laws. 3. Displacement of residents due to economic pressures. 4. Location and type of affordable housing. 5. Lack of private investment in specific neighborhoods. 6. Lack of community revitalization strategies Actions: Timeframe: 1. Maintain an inventory of the available sites for residential development and post it online (with annual updates) and provide it to prospective residential developers upon request. Monitor development trends to ensure continued ability to meet the RHNA. Ongoing 2. Continue to perform project-by-project evaluation to determine if adequate capacity remains for the remaining RHNA. Ongoing 3. Adopt new mixed-use zoning districts and rezone all sites identified in the City’s most recent Housing Element to accommodate shortfall housing need, consistent with the densities, acreages, and capacity Completed EXHIBIT 6     City Council 23 – 493 6/3/2025 Orange County 273 25-29 Regional AFH levels identified in the Housing Element. Complete all rezoning pursuant to Government Code Section 65583.2, subdivisions (h) and (i). 4. Encourage and facilitate construction of ADUs through the following actions: a. Update the City’s ADU Ordinance to reflect state law. 2025 b. Prepare pre-approved ADU design templates, tailored to meet specific zoning and building standards. Use of these design templates by a potential developer would ensure that the proposed ADU meets most, if not all, required standards at the outset of the development process, minimizing and streamlining the review process. This is expected to significantly incentivize production of ADUs by removing costs, reducing approval timeframes, and providing high application certainty. Completed c. Promote development of ADUs by continuing to provide written information at the City’s planning counter and on the City’s website and update it annually. Ongoing d. Monitor ADU permit applications and approvals annually through the Housing Element Annual Progress Report (APR) process; identify and implement additional incentives or other strategies including rezoning, as appropriate, to ensure adequate sites during the planning period. Should ADU production fall short of projections for three consecutive APR reporting periods then new incentives, strategies, and/or rezoning shall be implemented within six months of the third submitted APR. Annually e. Promote the City’s ADU Process Guide (available on the City’s website). Ongoing f. Host an annual workshop on accessory dwelling units, including guidance for development and common questions and answers. Annually g. Continue requesting information on rental rates to determine their affordability and review this information annually against the projects identified in the Housing Element. Annually 5. For all project applications, identify need for replacement of affordable housing units and ensure replacement, if required, occurs. Ongoing 6. Use HOME Funds and Housing Successor Funds to increase affordable housing production through the following actions: a. Provide HOME Funds and Housing Successor Funds to assist development such as for the purpose of acquisition and/or 2021-2029 EXHIBIT 6     City Council 23 – 494 6/3/2025 Orange County 274 25-29 Regional AFH subsidizing the cost of land acquisition and off-site improvements for construction of 100 new affordable housing units. b. Use HOME Funds and Housing Successor Funds to acquire 16 multifamily or single-family units to be rehabilitated by a nonprofit and restricted to low-income rental housing. 2021-2029 c. Contact local service providers and developers annually and inform them of the potential partnerships with the Housing Division through paperless methods such as phone calls, email, and online postings. Annually 7. Encourage development of affordable and special needs housing opportunities a. Contact affordable housing providers (including non-profit providers) annually to encourage them to develop affordable housing for low-/very-low-income households and the disabled in Westminster. Annually b. Maintain on the City’s website an inventory of sites suitable for the development of affordable housing for low-income households and households with special needs and update it annually. Ongoing c. Support and prepare applications for funding annually. Annually d. Provide incentives and concessions to developers to assist in the development of housing for lower income households or households with special needs, such as flexible development standards, expedited processing, and support from state funding including SB 2 Planning Grants and Permanent Local Housing Allocation. The preparation of flexible development standards and expedited processing for projects including affordable units will be addressed through the City’s Zoning Code Update. 2022-2025 e. Explore additional funding sources and strategies such as boomerang funds and financing districts to assist the development of housing for lower income households on a biennial basis. Ongoing 8. Continue to make available the City’s application submittal packet to provide interested builders or service providers with Density Bonus information through paperless methods such as online postings. Provide printed copies at the front counter. Meet with developers to explain the process and requirements. Ongoing 9.

If an application to convert a residential development to a condominium/stock cooperative is submitted to the City, the provisions of the City’s condominium conversion ordinance shall be implemented and enforced. Ongoing 11. Implement the mobile home park conversion ordinance by requiring applicants to (a) identify the quantity and conditions of each lower- income household/unit, and (b), upon approval of a permit to convert a mobile home park, implement mitigation measures that fully mitigate the net loss of low-income households. Ongoing 12. Conduct a Displacement Risk Analysis Study to identify the local conditions that lead to displacement and develop and implement an action program based on the results. Identify potential partners to participate in the study that specialize in eviction -related topics related to displacement, such as the Fair Housing Foundation. Annually monitor program effectiveness. 2021-2029 13. Implement incentives that will facilitate lot consolidation and increase the overall feasibility of affordable housing projects; as part of the City’s Zoning Code Update, incorporate specific development standards that support lot consolidation, such as a reduction in parking standards, shared parking arrangements in mixed-use projects, a reduction of minimum unit size, and modification of setback requirements.

The purpose of the moratorium was to immediately offer protection of public health, safety, and welfare from industrial uses significantly causing pollution burden to adjacent residential neighborhoods within the SD- 84 Zoning District. On May 7, 2024, the City Council issued a report to the public, pursuant to Section 65858(d) of the California Government Code, describing the City’s measures to alleviate conditions that led to the adoption of the moratorium. On May 21, 2024, the City Council adopted Ordinance No. NS-3064 to extend the moratorium for an additional ten (10) months and fifteen (15) days pursuant to the Government Code as necessary to provide sufficient time for staff to continue with data tracking and reporting, research     City Council 24 – 2 6/3/2025 ZOA No. 2024-02 & AA No. 2024-03 (Transit Zoning Code Amendments) June 3, 2025 Page 3 5 0 6 7 appropriate regulations, and coordinate with outside regulatory agencies and City departments to determine whether further, permanent action is necessary and to generate recommendations to the Planning Commission and City Council. The extension period concluded on April 15, 2025, and the moratorium is no longer in effect. Based upon City Council direction to develop proposed permanent regulations, and the research and analysis of the issues herein, staff has prepared Zoning Ordinance Amendment (ZOA) No. 2024-02 proposing to amend certain sections of Chapter 41 (Zoning) of the Santa Ana Municipal Code (SAMC), Article XIX, The Transit Zoning Code, Specific Development (SD) No. 84 zoning district. The ZOA proposes amendments that would modify the list of land uses and permit types, including the deletion of industrial land uses; amend nonconforming regulations, including the addition of an amortization process/termination of use process; amend and add operational standards for allowed uses and nonconforming uses; and delete the Industrial Overlay (I-OZ) zone from text and maps. A second ordinance, Amendment Application (AA) No. 2024-03, proposes to delete the M1 (Light Industrial) and M2 (Heavy Industrial) suffixes from certain properties within the SD-84 zoning district boundary as designated on the City of Santa Ana Zoning Map. City Council Action on April 1, 2025 At the April 1, 2025, City Council meeting, the City Council voted 4:0:0:3 to continue ZOA No. 2024-02 & AA No. 2024-03 to the regularly-scheduled City Council meeting on May 6, 2025. No staff presentation or public hearing on the item took place during the April 1, 2025 meeting. City Council Action on May 6, 2025 At the May 6, 2025, City Council meeting, the City Council voted 5:0:0:2 to continue ZOA No. 2024-02 & AA No. 2024-03 to the regularly-scheduled City Council meeting on June 3, 2025. No staff presentation or public hearing on the item took place during the May 6, 2025 meeting. DISCUSSION The Transit Zoning Code/Specific Development No. 84 The SD-84 zoning district, also known as the Transit Zoning Code (TZC), is located in the central urban core of the City and comprises over 100 blocks and 450 acres. The TZC includes the Civic Center, Downtown, and the Logan and Lacy neighborhoods, which are among the City’s most historic in age and as established residential communities. The TZC is generally bounded by First Street, Flower Street, Civic Center Drive, Grand Avenue, and the Santa Ana (I-5) Freeway. Prior to the implementation of the TZC, the area consisted of a wide range of civic, commercial, industrial, and residential land uses regulated by varying zoning districts.     City Council 24 – 3 6/3/2025 ZOA No. 2024-02 & AA No. 2024-03 (Transit Zoning Code Amendments) June 3, 2025 Page 4 5 0 6 7 In June 2010, the City Council adopted Ordinance No. NS-2804, creating the TZC, whose purpose was to establish a transit-supportive, pedestrian-oriented development framework to support the addition of new transit infrastructure; preserve and reinforce the existing character and pedestrian nature of the City by strengthening urban form through improved development and design standards; encourage alternative modes of transportation; provide for a range of housing options; and allow for the reuse of existing structures. In July 2019, the City Council adopted Ordinance No. NS-2970, amending the TZC to modify certain design criteria regulating height, massing, open space location, driveway standards, lot dimensions, and parking alternatives. The amendment did not include changes to land uses or permit types within the TZC. When originally adopted, the TZC provided new zoning for all properties contained within its boundary. However, some properties with existing M1 and M2 zoning and/or existing industrial businesses, also received an overlay district designation, which allowed for the continuation of industrial land uses on those properties. The development of mixed-use on these properties consistent with the new zoning they received as part of the TZC adoption is at the discretion of the property owner. In support of the TZC, the City Council also approved a General Plan amendment, establishing numerous mixed-use General Plan land use designations for the entirety of the TZC. However, due to the continued application of the industrial overlay zones within the TZC, the implementation of the new General Plan land use designations immediately resulted in zoning inconsistencies and land use conflicts with the new General Plan. Since establishment of the TZC, and specifically in the Logan and Lacy neighborhoods, industrial uses have remained, changed ownership, undergone expansions or intensifications, and have continued to create numerous land use conflicts and disturbances that affect surrounding residential communities. Specifically, in the Logan neighborhood alone, these land uses create quality of life, health and safety, and other trespass issues for residential properties that often directly abut these industrial land uses. These issues include odors, dust, traffic, noise, vibrations, and other documented impacts that have taken place for nearly a decade and a half despite the change to the new General Plan land use designations. Historically Disadvantaged Communities and Senate Bill (SB) 1000 Prior to the adoption of the TZC, the City permitted industrial uses within the Logan and Lacy neighborhoods in close proximity to sensitive land uses such as residences and schools. The Logan neighborhood represents one of Orange County’s oldest barrios, established as early as 1886, and was one of the few areas where Mexicans and those of Mexican descent could purchase land due to racially restrictive covenants during the first half of the 20th century. Further, as a neighborhood, the area was established before the modern practice of separating or regulating impactful land uses, also known as zoning. The Logan neighborhood itself was largely settled by 1900, before the practice of zoning was enshrined by Village of Euclid v. Ambler Realty Co. in 1926. By that time, the neighborhood contained a mix of residential, industrial, commercial, and related land uses, in some cases side-by-side, with issues further exacerbated by rail lines, fuel     City Council 24 – 4 6/3/2025 ZOA No. 2024-02 & AA No. 2024-03 (Transit Zoning Code Amendments) June 3, 2025 Page 5 5 0 6 7 storage depots, and the construction of the Santa Ana Freeway (I-5) between 1947 and 1956. Comprehensive data analysis and mapping tools generated by the Office of Environmental Health Hazard Assessment (OEHHA) and California Environmental Protection Agency (CalEPA), the Centers for Disease Control/Agency for Toxic Substances and Disease Registry (CDC/ATSDR), the United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), and California Healthy Places Index (HPI) reveal concerning information regarding environmental conditions impacting residents in the Logan and Lacy neighborhoods. Recent CalEnviroScreen 4.0 data confirms that these neighborhoods rank at 90% or above among California’s most pollution-burdened communities, with Environmental Justice (EJ) maps showing higher exposure to Particulate Matter (PM) 2.5, Air Toxics Cancer Risk, Hazardous Waste Proximity, Diesel Particulate Matter, and Toxic Releases to Air. This information is included as Exhibit 4 to this staff report. These multiple sources of environmental exposure and pollution burden communities of color, including the Logan and Lacy neighborhoods, present an alarming set of challenges that affect residents’ quality of life and life expectancy with continued heavy industrial uses nearby. Senate Bill (SB) 1000 went into effect in 2016, requiring local governments to address pollution and other hazards that disproportionately impact low-income and communities of color within their jurisdiction to proactively plan for and address environmental concerns when developing and updating components of the General Plan. The City and community worked to ensure that the new General Plan included SB 1000 requirements of addressing EJ through facilitating transparency and public engagement in the planning and decision-making processes, reducing harmful pollutants and the associated health risks in disadvantaged communities, and promoting equitable access to health-inducing benefits such as healthy housing options. Of note, the City’s new General Plan mixed- use land use designations in the TZC area were largely left intact, including those in the Lacy and Logan neighborhoods, when the General Plan Update was adopted in 2022. Environmental Justice/Disadvantaged Communities (DACs) Profile: Logan and Lacy Neighborhood Impacts For the Logan and Lacy neighborhoods, incompatible land uses allowed from past zoning decisions, including the industrial overlay zones, have perpetuated the practices of locating industrial uses or other noxious and unwanted uses near communities of color. The Logan and Lacy neighborhoods have a population of 5,907 within 1,564 households, a median household income of $56,864, average household size of nearly four persons, median age 27 years, and per-capita income of $23,495. Seventy-four percent (74%) are renter-occupied units based on demographic forecasts for 2023. Nearly 25% of the population is under 14 years of age, and 14% are 55 years of age and older. Nearly 3%     City Council 24 – 5 6/3/2025 ZOA No. 2024-02 & AA No. 2024-03 (Transit Zoning Code Amendments) June 3, 2025 Page 6 5 0 6 7 of the population attended up to 12th grade with no diploma, over 31% are high school graduates, and nearly 97% of the working population over 16 years of age are employed.1 This data illustrates that the Logan and Lacy neighborhoods are within the second and third highest scored census tracts in Santa Ana, each with a composite score of 90% or greater, ranking in the 90th percentile or greater of census tracts in the State, and identified as “disadvantaged communities” by the Office of Environmental Health Hazard Assessment (OEHHA) in its CalEnviroScreen model. Failure to address ongoing irreconcilable land use conflicts that are the target of this proposed ordinance will further exacerbate the ongoing demographic and environmental justice challenges that these two neighborhoods within the TZC have grappled with since their founding. Code Enforcement and Immediate Ongoing Issues In the past 12 months, the Code Enforcement Division conducted investigations at over 35 commercial and industrial properties within the TZC. Currently, the City’s Code Enforcement Division has 21 active open cases that have been issued Notices of Violation and administrative citations for the following types of violations: illegal storage, land use, zoning, property and landscape maintenance, unpermitted work, business license, and certificate of occupancy. These violations include issues of odors, dust, traffic, noise, vibrations, and other documented impacts. This activity demonstrates the City’s direct involvement in overseeing these businesses to mitigate potential environmental and public health risks. Since June 2023, the TZC communities have experienced a marked increase in impacts stemming from the irreconcilable industrial and residential land use conflicts in the Logan and Lacy neighborhoods. Residents in the TZC have voiced and emailed complaints and public health concerns to City staff regarding emitted contaminants and zoning violations from industrial businesses in the neighborhoods. Concerns that range from air pollution and smoke, toxic release exposures, idling trucks on residential streets, lead exposure, illegal storage, unpermitted uses, loud noise at night, and other property maintenance pose an immediate public health threat that is straining public resources to continuously investigate and address these matters. Specifically, a fire incident at a crematory located in the neighborhood alarmed neighbors at 9:18 p.m. on August 29, 2023. Residents shared with City officials video of high flames escaping the stack on the rooftop, screeching noise that continued nonstop for ten minutes, and what was described as a foul odor attributed to the fire. City staff followed up with external regulatory agencies issuing permits to operate this facility, and quickly, staff observed the limitations from regulatory agencies and their compartmentalized processes to investigate and act on enforcement measures. On August 9, 2024, the City received a complaint with photos of the same crematory in which the complainant observed bodies stored in a container outside the facility. A City code enforcement inspector issued an abatement notice that same day; the bodies and container were removed and the case was closed on August 1 ESRI Community Analyst summary data, which utilizes U.S. Census Bureau sources (2017-2021 American Community Survey & 2020 Decennial Census Data), enhanced by ESRI’s forecasts and aggregations, covering demographics like population, income, age, and employment.    City Council 24 – 6 6/3/2025 ZOA No. 2024-02 & AA No. 2024-03 (Transit Zoning Code Amendments) June 3, 2025 Page 7 5 0 6 7 13, 2024 by code enforcement staff. Other recent incidents include a large fire at an open- air industrial recycling facility at 1035 E. Fourth Street on March 23, 2025 that resulted in contaminated effluent from water used in fire-fighting efforts draining into local gutters. Since 2022, the City has enhanced community services by restructuring its Planning Division to contain a Neighborhood Initiatives and Environmental Services (NIES) section, which oversees, among other functions, environmental justice efforts in Santa Ana and regional coordination to address such issues. Staff encountered difficulty in achieving desired enforcement outcomes with external regulatory agencies such as South Coast Air Quality Management District (SCAQMD), California Department of Consumer Affairs Cemetery and Funeral Bureau (CFB), and Orange County Fire Authority (OCFA) with several heavy industrial business operators in the TZC. This is supported through internal correspondence and phone conversations with staff from these agencies to understand their investigation and compliance processes. To address issues of industrial operators, including recycling and waste processing facilities near schools and residential areas, the City adopted new regulations such as a Noxious Uses Ordinance (Ordinance No. NS- 3044, adopted June 20, 2023) to include a notification requirement to the City by the property owner to obtain a permit from a regulatory public agency; a requirement of a 1,000 linear foot distance buffer measured from the outermost boundary of the subject property; and a conditional use permit requirement when businesses require a permit from a regulatory public agency to handle, store, emit, or discharge particulate materials, exhaust emissions, or regulated compounds, or chemicals near a public park, school (K- 12), or property zoned for residential purposes. City staff have also researched commercial real estate acquisition data and current for- sale properties to identify any trends that could potentially generate an increase in the application of the City’s Noxious Uses Ordinance for proposed or expanded industrial uses. From September 2022 to date, 15 properties (six commercial, three office, and six industrial businesses) sold. Three of those businesses (800-808 E. Washington Avenue, 1045 N. Fuller Street, and 923 N. Logan Street) are located in the Logan neighborhood. Currently, multi-tenant industrial and manufacturing warehouse spaces are on the market for lease located in the TZC. Recent City Council Actions and Direction to Address TZC Land Use Conflicts On April 16, 2024, the City Council adopted a 45-day moratorium on the approval, commencement, establishment, relocation, or expansion of industrial uses within the TZC through adoption of Urgency Interim Ordinance No. NS-3063. The purpose of the moratorium was to immediately offer protection of public health, safety, and welfare from industrial uses significantly causing pollution burden to adjacent residential neighborhoods within the TZC. On May 7, 2024, the City Council issued a report to the public, pursuant to Section 65858(d) of the California Government Code, describing the City’s measures to alleviate conditions that led to the adoption of the moratorium.     City Council 24 – 7 6/3/2025 ZOA No. 2024-02 & AA No. 2024-03 (Transit Zoning Code Amendments) June 3, 2025 Page 8 5 0 6 7 On May 21, 2024, the City Council adopted Ordinance No. NS-3064 to extend the moratorium for an additional ten (10) months and fifteen (15) days pursuant to the Government Code as necessary to provide sufficient time for staff to continue with data tracking and reporting, research appropriate regulations, and coordinate with outside regulatory agencies and City departments to determine whether further, permanent action is necessary and to generate recommendations to the Planning Commission and City Council. As part of its approval, the City Council expressed a desire for City staff to begin evaluating permanent solutions to the irreconcilable land use conflicts in the TZC area in as timely a manner as possible, which resulted in immediate evaluation of the zoning code text and map amendments consistent with direction provided for the City Council’s consideration as part of this request. On April 1, 2025, the City Council issued a report to the public, pursuant to Section 65858(d) of the California Government Code, describing the City’s measures to alleviate conditions that led to the adoption of the moratorium. Review of City Department Activities Immediately following the adoption of the moratorium, City staff conducted an interagency meeting that included representatives from multiple City departments: the Planning Division, Building Safety Division, Code Enforcement Division, Business License, and Information Technology. Additionally, engagement with additional agencies such as the Santa Ana Police Department (SAPD), Public Works Agency, and the Community Development Agency’s Economic Development Division has produced critical information illustrating the extent to which industrial activities interface with residential land uses in the TZC area, specifically and most concentrated in the Logan and Lacy neighborhoods. City staff reviewed public safety data from SAPD and OCFA to assess community concerns regarding emergency responses in the TZC. SAPD records show a total of 18,736 calls for service between March 2023 and July 2024, with 226 of those occurring between April and July 2024 within the Logan and Lacy neighborhoods. These calls encompassed a wide range of incidents, including patrol checks, disturbances, and traffic- related issues. Notably, 1,909 calls involved collisions, vehicle impoundments, domestic violence, and SAMC violations. OCFA data from 2022 to August 2024 indicates 238 calls for advanced life support emergencies. In 2022, 29 calls were related to respiratory issues, chest pain, and cardiac arrest, with a subsequent 7% increase in health-related calls in 2023. While the data reflects a broad spectrum of emergency responses, the concentration of industrial businesses in the TZC raises the possibility that some of these calls, particularly those related to respiratory issues and traffic incidents, may be influenced by industrial operations. Further analysis is needed to determine the specific correlation between industrial activity and public safety concerns in the area. Currently, City staff have an internal process established that continues to track and monitor incoming notices of compliance or notices of violations from outside regulatory agencies issued to a particular business/operator. City Code Enforcement activities and implementation of the City’s Noxious Uses Ordinance continue being monitored at these     City Council 24 – 8 6/3/2025 ZOA No. 2024-02 & AA No. 2024-03 (Transit Zoning Code Amendments) June 3, 2025 Page 9 5 0 6 7 facilities. Code Enforcement data show enforcement activity within the TZC, where at the time of adoption of the moratorium, 16 active open cases were issued Notices of Violations and administrative citations for the following types of violations: illegal storage, land use, zoning, property and landscape maintenance, unpermitted work, business license, and certificate of occupancy. Such violations include issues of odors, dust, traffic, noise, vibrations, and other documented impacts. Recent code enforcement complaints on properties in the Logan neighborhood involve complaints for recurring unpermitted work and land use violations that involve large commercial vehicles blocking street access and impacting nearby residents. Review of Records and Activities of External Regulatory Agencies To broaden the analysis beyond the City's local land use impacts, City staff have received public records requested of compliance status, violation records, and violation status of outside regulatory agencies, and have contacted staff from external regulatory agencies such as the South Coast Air Quality Monitoring District (SCAQMD), Santa Ana Regional Quality Water Control Board (SARQWCB), the Department of Toxic Substances Control (DTSC), Certified Unified Program Agencies (CUPA), California Environmental Reporting System (CERS), and others responsible for issuing regulatory permits for industrial uses in the TZC. Specifically, these agencies are responsible for permit issuance, compliance activities, and/or monitoring hazardous clean-up sites, or other industrial facility-related activities and have received current data requests for sites located within the TZC zoning district. Data from outside regulatory agencies assists City staff in further understanding activities between external regulatory agencies and industrial businesses that may place additional impacts on public health, safety, and welfare in affected neighborhoods adjacent to industrial businesses in the TZC. This information would enable City staff to understand the correlation and environmental burdens that may be attributed to permitted activities for industrial businesses in historically environmentally disadvantaged communities, specifically the Logan and Lacy neighborhoods. Records show SCAQMD issued two notices to comply with one industrial business on August 2023 and April 2024 for failure to maintain records, such as temperature graphs, poundage logs, and source test data. SCAQMD issued several permits to construct and to operate to the new operator of this same facility, which is currently in compliance with SCAQMD. Two notices of violation were issued to one industrial business for operating a paint spray booth without a valid permit to operate from SCAQMD. The report from the SARWQCB from 2024 shows three (3) active industrial business in the TZC in violation of their permit for providing a late report or incomplete and/or insufficient information for their Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan (SPPP). In March 2025, one of the three businesses with active violations concluded a financial settlement directly with the SARWQCB agency.     City Council 24 – 9 6/3/2025 ZOA No. 2024-02 & AA No. 2024-03 (Transit Zoning Code Amendments) June 3, 2025 Page 10 5 0 6 7 Public records from the CUPA for Orange County, spanning 2022-2024, reveal a pattern of non-compliance with environmental and hazardous materials regulations among industrial businesses within the TZC. While some 2023 violations related to Hazardous Material Business Plan staff training and reporting were later corrected, current records indicate four businesses still have multiple open violations. These ongoing issues include non-compliance with documentation for hazardous waste transportation and disposal, as well as deficiencies in industrial stormwater reporting requirements. Notably, records from 2022-2024 show repeated failures to submit required stormwater reports and deficiencies in hazardous waste management and emergency response planning, including missing documentation and training. These violations highlight potential risks to public health and the environment. Air emission complaints continue to be reported to SCAQMD. These complaints included one involving black smoke and another regarding unpermitted soil vapor extraction equipment onsite. SCAQMD staff has clarified that for air quality complaints they receive, their inspector is required to be physically present to observe the activity from the facility described in the complaint to determine if the complaint warrants further investigation or enforcement action in accordance with SCAQMD Rules 401 (Visible Emissions), 402 (Public Nuisance), and 403 (Fugitive Dust). Therefore, although community members continue to share concerns with City and SCAQMD staff, the turnaround time for an SCAQMD inspector to be physically present at an SCAQMD-permitted facility to investigate an air quality complaint, especially if a complaint is reported after working hours or on weekends, is ineffective in addressing the immediate needs of the community. On May 9, 2025, the City received a complaint from Logan neighborhood residents, who reported visible black smoke from the nearby crematory lasting for 30 minutes and notified the SCAQMD. This incident highlights that air quality remains a significant and ongoing concern requiring our continued attention. A subsequent investigation determined that a power outage caused the cremation oven ignitors to lose spark, leading to a drop in internal temperature and the emission of a black plume of smoke. The proposed amendments for the TZC aim to strengthen the City's land use regulatory authority, providing a necessary tool to address the deficiencies of outside regulatory agencies and their permitting and oversight, and to safeguard the health, safety, and welfare of the community. Public Engagement Following City Council's extension of the TZC moratorium on May 21, 2024, City staff have been developing permanent regulations for the TZC district for the City Council’s consideration. Leading up to the special Planning Commission meeting held on March 6, 2025, City staff engaged in a comprehensive outreach effort regarding TZC regulations, holding 20 meetings in various formats with affected stakeholders. This included: •Direct engagement through eight individual and group meetings with business owners and brokers, •Two focus group meetings with TZC business owners,     City Council 24 – 10 6/3/2025 ZOA No. 2024-02 & AA No. 2024-03 (Transit Zoning Code Amendments) June 3, 2025 Page 11 5 0 6 7 •Community outreach involving two neighborhood/resident group meetings, •Two City-hosted TZC (SD-84) meetings: the October 22, 2024 City Informational Meeting and the March 3, 2025 Community Meeting, •Three site visits at the request of businesses, and •Three Planning Commission meetings (February 10, 2025 Study Session and February 24/March 6 Public Hearings). This extensive engagement aimed to gather diverse input for the development of permanent TZC regulations. To proactively ensure important communications reached all stakeholders, City staff mailed notices to all property owners and occupants, comprising 3,599 addresses, within the Transit Zoning Code area for each of the following meetings: the October 22, 2024 City Informational Meeting, the Planning Commission February 10, 2025 Study Session and February 24, 2025 Public Hearing notice, and the City Council April 1, 2025 Public Hearing Notice. On January 15, 2025, City staff made draft TZC (SD-84) regulations available to the public for review in advance of the scheduled Planning Commission study session on February 10, 2025 and public hearing on February 24, 2025. The amendments address the permitted uses table, nonconforming regulations, amortization, and operational standards, and are designed to prepare for the TZC moratorium's expiration on April 15, 2025. Staff met with business owners and brokers on January 30, 2025, to discuss the draft regulations and met with the Lacy and Logan neighborhoods meeting on February 19, 2025, and again with a focus group of industrial businesses on February 20, 2025. Staff have continued to update the TZC moratorium project webpage with additional updates, including the Study Session and Planning Commission Public Hearing Notice, Planning Commission’s Study Session PowerPoint presentation, and the draft ordinance and clarifications presented to the Planning Commission. City staff have also prepared two Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) documents to clarify information regarding the moratorium, affected businesses, the proposed zoning amendments, legal concerns, community engagement, and opportunities to participate in the public hearing process. The first FAQ became available prior to the City’s project informational meeting on October 22, 2024, and the second FAQ was made available on February 24, 2025, and is included as Exhibit 5 to this staff report. City staff from the Neighborhood Initiatives and Environmental Services (NIES) section of the Planning Division continues to coordinate with City departments, external regulatory agencies, and staff from other federal and state agencies to identify additional resources available to enhance deeper awareness of pollution exposure in disadvantaged communities, long-term health effects, and immediate solutions. The NIES team has held meetings and discussions with staff from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention/Agency for Toxic Substances and Disease Registry and CalEPA Environmental Justice Team to identify opportunities for linking environmental justice (EJ) resources and support to the Logan and Lacy neighborhoods. The recent SoCal Gas     City Council 24 – 11 6/3/2025 ZOA No. 2024-02 & AA No. 2024-03 (Transit Zoning Code Amendments) June 3, 2025 Page 12 5 0 6 7 Company’s Climate grant award to the City will further assist in obtaining baseline air quality data and education in these communities. Current Code and Proposed Amendments to Text, Figures, and Maps Based upon the City Council’s actions and direction enacting the moratorium combined with the research and analysis of the issues herein, staff has prepared the proposed zoning ordinance (ZOA No. 2024-02) and zoning map (AA No. 2024-03) amendments. The proposed amendments would modify the list of land uses and permit types including the deletion of industrial land uses; amend nonconforming regulations including the addition of an amortization/termination of use process; amend and add operational standards for allowed uses and nonconforming uses; delete the Industrial Overlay (I-OZ) zone from text and maps; and delete the M1 (Light Industrial) and M2 (Heavy Industrial) suffixes from certain properties within the TZC boundary as designated on the City of Santa Ana Zoning Map. Table 1: ZOA No. 2024-02 Current and Proposed Text Regulations Code Section Title Existing Zoning Code Regulations Proposed Zoning Code Regulations Application of Article SAMC Section 41-2001 establishes the land uses and standards applicable to the TZC - primarily for new uses. The update to text of this Section clarifies that the regulations apply to existing uses, whether conforming or nonconforming. Organization SAMC Section 41-2001.5 establishes the contents and organization of the TZC regulations The update to the text is necessary to encompass the new Section 41-2009 (Operational Standards for Nonconforming Industrial Uses). Nonconforming Buildings, Structures and Uses SAMC Section 41-2002 establishes the regulations for nonconforming buildings, structures or uses within the TZC boundary. The provisions contain minimal limits for rehabilitation of buildings and structures and their expansion for both residential and non- residential uses. The update to text of this Section will further limit some rehabilitation of buildings and structures, with specific emphasis on nonconforming industrial uses. These updated provisions include: •Requiring rehabilitation or expansion of buildings and structures, occupied by any nonconforming use to comply with the new operational standards contained in Section 41-2009. •Prohibits expansion of a building or structure occupied by a nonconforming industrial use. •Elimination of certain nonconforming uses and structures. •Establishes a process for enacting amortization periods for eliminating certain nonconforming uses. •References to SAMC and State law for abatement of public nuisances. •Establishes authority for voluntary compliance agreements between the City and nonconforming uses.    City Council 24 – 12 6/3/2025 ZOA No. 2024-02 & AA No. 2024-03 (Transit Zoning Code Amendments) June 3, 2025 Page 13 5 0 6 7 Code Section Title Existing Zoning Code Regulations Proposed Zoning Code Regulations The Industrial Overlay (I-OZ) Zone SAMC Section 41-2004 establishes an overlay zone applied to M1 and M2 zoned properties located within the TZC boundary. Section 41-2004 is deleted in its entirety, removing the I-OZ Zone from the TZC to eliminate industrial land use type zoning altogether. Application for Discretionary Approvals SAMC Section 41-2005 establishes the process and timing of vesting for certain uses approved with a discretionary permit. Section 41-2005 is updated to add clarification for effects of the amendments to the TZC dependent upon status of an application in the City process of review, approval, and/or building permit issuance, if required. Zones Established SAMC Section 41-2006 contains the regulations for zoning districts, land uses, and permit types within the TZC. The update to the text of this Section deletes the I-OZ Zone, including replacing Figure 2.1, the Regulating Plan (map) with a new Figure 2.1 removing the I-OZ Zone designation from all parcels within the TZC boundary. Uses Permitted SAMC Section 41-2007 provides the allowable land uses and permit types required to establish a land use by each zoning district within the TZC. The update to the text of this Section clarifies application of the use standards by zoning district as follows: •Modifies Table 2A containing the Use Standards by adding and reclassifying certain land use types appropriate to the TZC land use subcategories. •Deletes certain land use types that are inconsistent with the intent and purpose of the TZC, including the deletion of the Small-Scale Industry land use subcategory in its entirety. Operational Standards for Permitted Uses SAMC Section 41-2008 primarily regulates new uses within the TZC. The update to the text of this Section further limits certain operations to ensure greater compatibility between residential and non-residential land uses. Operational Standards for Nonconforming Industrial Uses SAMC Section 41-2009 is an entirely new set of regulations specific to existing nonconforming industrial uses within the TZC. The new Section establishes regulations for operation of any existing, legally established, nonconforming industrial use. The regulations cover general standards, enclosed operations, air emissions and dust, light, glare, and heat, ground vibration, outdoor storage and screening, hazardous materials, liquid and solid waste, site maintenance, truck parking and loading, and hours of operation.     City Council 24 – 13 6/3/2025 ZOA No. 2024-02 & AA No. 2024-03 (Transit Zoning Code Amendments) June 3, 2025 Page 14 5 0 6 7 Code Section Title Existing Zoning Code Regulations Proposed Zoning Code Regulations Definitions SAMC Section 41-2080 contains the definitions applicable to terms and land uses of the TZC. The update to the text of this Section provides clarification for certain land use types (artisan/craft product with limited on-site production, commercial recreation facility – indoor, and research and development), adds definitions for land use types (automobile repair, automobile service, business support services, craft and specialized automotive restoration service, pet day care facility and trade school), and deletes corresponding definitions for land use types that were deleted as part of the amendments to SAMC Section 41- 2006. Analysis of the Issues The proposed amendments to the Sections of the TZC under the topic headings of Application of Article, Organization, Application for Discretionary Approvals, and Definitions are largely to ensure internal consistency related to the more substantive changes being proposed for the TZC to address irreconcilable land use conflicts, described as follows: •Nonconforming Structures and Uses - Section 41-2002 regulates the nonconforming building, structure or use specifically within the TZC. The regulations are unique to the TZC and do not apply citywide. The regulations determine under certain circumstances when a nonconforming structure or use can rehabilitate both structural or nonstructural; or expand conditions that would allow expansion. Due to the concerns enumerated within this report related to nonconforming industrial uses within the TZC, the amendments to this section increasingly limit rehabilitation of structures to those types of improvements that address compliance with the new Section 41-2009 operational standards for nonconforming industrial uses; and disallow the expansion of any nonconforming industrial use. This Section also includes new provisions to establish a process for the discontinuance of nonconforming uses, specifically noxious uses, and the elimination of those uses or structures through an amortization hearing process. The tools that these new regulations provide are necessary to address the environmental impacts that lead to the adoption of the moratorium, provide the framework to initiate the process to eliminate noxious industrial land uses from the TZC, and align with the adopted EJ policies of the General Plan. •The Industrial Overlay (I-OZ) Zone – Section 41-2004 created an “exception” zone for properties within the TZC that had already contained M1 or M2 industrial zoning, uses and structures, when the TZC was adopted in 2010. In order to be both consistent and to promulgate the new General Plan land use designations within the TZC, the removal of this overlay zone is necessary. The zone currently gives deference to the property owner of these parcels with an industrial overlay to decide     City Council 24 – 14 6/3/2025 ZOA No. 2024-02 & AA No. 2024-03 (Transit Zoning Code Amendments) June 3, 2025 Page 15 5 0 6 7 when and whether to redevelop their properties in a manner that would remove the industrial structure and use, replacing it with an allowable use and conforming to the design standards of the TZC. Eliminating the I-OZ Zone will cause these properties to become nonconforming as to use and structure, subjecting them to the regulations as amended and added to Section 41-2002, including discontinuance of nonconforming use or structure though amortization. Section 41-2004 has been deleted in its entirety with the section number reserved. •Zones Established and Uses Permitted – Amendments to Sections 41-2006 and 41- 2007, respectively, include parallel deletion of the I-OZ Zone affecting the Regulating Plan (TZC zoning map) and the corresponding Use Standards tables regulating the land use and permit types for each of the remaining zones of the TZC. Table 2A categorizes land uses into broad subheadings for both residential and nonresidential land uses. The nonresidential land uses are further categorized into commercial- oriented versus industrial-oriented types of uses. The amendments will eliminate the Small-Scale Industry sub-category altogether, since the majority of these uses are industrial uses incompatible with residential uses. The purpose of the TZC is to promote transit-oriented mixed-use development, which pairs residential and nonresidential land uses either horizontally or vertically on a site or within a building. Compatibility of allowable land use types is critical, particularly given the history of the negative impacts from industrial uses remaining in the area and in close proximity to existing and new residential areas. Amending this Section also replaces the TZC zoning map figure to ensure consistency with the City’s Official Zoning Map and General Plan Land Use Map in accordance with requirements of State law, Government Code Section 65860. •Operational Standards for Permitted Uses and Operational Standards for Nonconforming Industrial Uses – Section 41-2008 contains operational standards applicable to all uses within the TZC boundary. This Section is largely unchanged, with clarification and strengthening of certain regulations to address any possible industrial type function of an allowable land use type as listed in the tables of Section 41-2007. These amendments affected any possible manufacturing related activities, sound, screening walls, and eliminated any vehicular service on Sundays. Section 41-2009 establishes new regulations governing existing industrial uses made nonconforming with the removal of the I-OZ Zone within the TZC, and include general standards, enclosed operations, air emissions and dust, light, glare, and heat, ground vibration, outdoor storage and screening, hazardous materials, liquid and solid waste, site maintenance, truck parking and loading, and hours of operation. The amendments to Section 41-2008 and creation of new regulations under Section 41- 2009 ensure that existing nonconforming uses comply with very specific operational standards and/or face amortization that leads ultimately to discontinuance of use, effectively reestablishing the TZC area with residential uses and allowing certain nonresidential uses compatible to such residential and/or mixed-use development.     City Council 24 – 15 6/3/2025 ZOA No. 2024-02 & AA No. 2024-03 (Transit Zoning Code Amendments) June 3, 2025 Page 16 5 0 6 7 Profile of Industrial Businesses Affected with Proposed Regulations The TZC area is characterized by a diverse mix of approximately 127 industrial businesses. These businesses range from automotive services (the most common industry type) and manufacturing to warehousing and recycling centers. Data compiled from city and external regulatory agencies, including CalEPA, SCAQMD, and CERS, reveal that these businesses operate under various permits related to hazardous materials, air quality, and water quality. Key business characteristics include the storage and use of hazardous materials such as motor oil, solvents, and various chemicals, as well as the operation of equipment like emergency generators and internal combustion engines. Notably, several businesses, particularly those engaged in manufacturing (spray booths, metal processing) and chemical storage, handle substances like xylene, resins, mineral oils, and acids, posing potential risks related to air and water contamination, as well as fire and health hazards. Heavier industrial operators, such as open-air recycling and sorting facilities in the TZC have been creating a range of issues in the neighborhood. Issues range from: 1) air pollution – dust and participate matter from the sorting process that can become airborne, leading to respiratory problems and reduced air quality, VOCs released from decomposing materials, and odors; 2) water pollution from stormwater runoff that can carry contaminants, including debris, chemicals, or bacteria, from a facility to nearby waterways; 3) noise pollution from heavy machinery, trucks, and sorting equipment generating noise; and 4) visual blight from the constant movement of trucks and equipment and from the piles of trash, debris, and recycling materials that detract from the aesthetic appeal of the community. The secondary effects affect residents’ quality of life with increased traffic hazards and living next to these heavier industrial uses and the risks being exposed to these issues on a daily basis. Planning Commission Public Hearing – February 24, 2025 On February 24, 2025, the Santa Ana Planning Commission held a duly noticed public hearing to consider recommending ZOA No. 2024-02, AA No. 2024-03, and resolution to make findings and adopt Addendum to TZC SD-84 Final EIR. Upon hearing all testimony, the Commission closed the public hearing, held discussion, provided direction to staff, and continued the item to a special meeting scheduled for March 6, 2025. The Commission requested that staff conduct and provide certain deliverables for their further consideration of the proposed amendments, in order to render a recommendation to the City Council on the proposed TZC amendments. The three requested actions for staff were as follows: 1) Conduct an additional community meeting collectively, with interested parties in attendance at the hearing, including residents, businesses, and property owners, to facilitate further input on the proposed amendments; 2) Prepare a financial analysis to address potential impacts to the City as a result of adopting the proposed amendments; and     City Council 24 – 16 6/3/2025 ZOA No. 2024-02 & AA No. 2024-03 (Transit Zoning Code Amendments) June 3, 2025 Page 17 5 0 6 7 3) Provide a legal briefing related to potential challenges that may result from adoption of the proposed amendments. Additional Community Meeting – March 3, 2025 Staff held a community meeting with interested parties, including business owners, property owners, residents, and others, on Monday, March 3, 2025, from 5:30 p.m. to 7:30 p.m. at the Santa Ana Regional Transportation Center (SARTC) First Floor Conference Room (1000 E. Santa Ana Blvd.) to garner additional feedback about the proposed changes. The summary of the March 3, 2025 TZC (SD-84) Community Meeting can be found in Exhibit 1 of Exhibit 7 (March 6, 2025 Special Planning Commission Supplemental Staff Report and Exhibits), which is attached to this staff report. As a result of the input received at that community meeting, combined with the prior analysis of the proposed amendments as outlined in the February 24, 2025, Planning Commission staff report, staff proposed clarifying edits as well as text edits to the Ordinance presented to the Planning Commission on February 24, 2025 that can be found in Exhibit 7. Specifically, the clarifications address typographical errors as well as the emergent themes from the March 3rd community meeting related to hours of operation and clarifying that nonconforming and “legal” nonconforming are one and the same term for the purposes of implementing the TZC. The summary of the March 3, 2025 TZC (SD- 84) Community Meeting can be found in Exhibit 1 of Exhibit 7 (March 6, 2025 Special Planning Commission Supplemental Staff Report and Exhibits), which is attached to this staff report. Financial Information related to adoption of proposed TZC (SD-84) amendments The Planning Commission requested City staff to provide financial information specifically on the amendments’ effects on City revenues that would result from the proposed ordinance. Staff from the City’s Finance and Management Services Agency evaluated aggregate financial information using data sources for the City’s tax base that include sales tax, property tax, businesses license tax, and utility users’ tax within the TZC. Staff provided information as part of City staff’s presentation during the scheduled March 6, 2025, meeting and emphasized that due to confidentiality requirements, revenue details provided are in general and aggregate form, preventing the disclosure of individual business revenue. Furthermore, evaluating the actual fiscal impact would be speculative and may vary significantly due to numerous unpredictable factors, including the fact the proposed ordinance does not propose the closure of any business; rendering business uses legal nonconforming does not preclude the establishment of a new, similar business in the same location that may result in no change to the City’s revenues; fluctuations in economic conditions; and potential changes in business operations. These factors were presented to the Planning Commission, which took the information into account in making its recommendation to approve to the City Council. A description of the requested     City Council 24 – 17 6/3/2025 ZOA No. 2024-02 & AA No. 2024-03 (Transit Zoning Code Amendments) June 3, 2025 Page 18 5 0 6 7 financial information is included in Exhibit 7 (March 6, 2025 Special Planning Commission Supplemental Staff Report and Exhibits), which is attached to this staff report. Legal Analysis The Commission requested that the City Attorney provide a briefing related to legal challenges to the proposed TZC amendments, specifically the creation of nonconforming status to business and structures, and the general argument of a “taking,” as that term is used legally. The City Attorney’s Office provided a confidential memorandum separately to the Planning Commission summarizing these legal questions. Due to the potential for litigation, the information contained in the memorandum is considered client privileged and confidential. Recommended Action Taken by the Planning Commission – March 6, 2025 At a special meeting on March 6, 2025, the Planning Commission voted 4:2:1, with Commissioners Benninger and Leo dissenting and Vice-Chair Ramos absent (due to advisement of a potential conflict of interest due to her residence being in close proximity to the project area), to recommend that the City Council approve the recommended actions. As part of its recommendation to approve, the Planning Commission included clarifying edits to the draft ZOA proposed by staff, which have been incorporated into the proposed text amendments. General Plan Consistency The proposed zoning ordinance amendments are consistent with various goals and policies of the Santa Ana General Plan, including the Land Use, Community, Economic Prosperity, and Conservation elements. Consistency with the General Plan is required by Government Code Section 65860, by timely addressing current inconsistencies within an area of the City prioritized for addressing EJ. In effect, the amendments are necessary to address numerous policies of the General Plan that the current TZC is found to be inconsistent with, that without such amendments, will continue the path of irreconcilable land use patterns within the TZC. Specifically, these policies include Policy LU-1.1 (Compatible Uses), Policy LU-2.4 (Cost and Benefit of Development), Policy LU-3.8 (Sensitive Receptors), Policy LU-3.9 (Noxious, Hazardous, Dangerous, and Polluting Uses), Policy LU-3.11 (Air Pollution Buffers), Policy LU-4.3 (Sustainable Land Use Strategies), Policy LU-4.6 (Healthy Living Conditions), Policy CM-3.2 (Healthy Neighborhoods), Policy EP-1.9 (Avoid Conflict of Uses), Policy EP-3.3 (Mitigate Impacts), Policy CN-1.5 (Sensitive Receptor Decisions), Policy CM-3.2 (Healthy Neighborhoods), and Policy HE-5.5 (Community Development), which are targeted at correcting past land use planning practices that have placed an unequitable environmental and health burden on certain neighborhoods now termed disadvantaged communities. The proposed amendments support these goals and policies by: •Fostering the compatibility between residential and nonresidential land uses within the TZC to enhance livability and promote healthier lifestyles, and improve public health and quality of life;    City Council 24 – 18 6/3/2025 ZOA No. 2024-02 & AA No. 2024-03 (Transit Zoning Code Amendments) June 3, 2025 Page 19 5 0 6 7 •Resolving the development of industrial land uses and sensitive receptors being in close proximity to each other that pose health hazards by eliminating an overlay zone that promulgated continuation of industrial uses without recourse; •Improving the health of the existing and future residents of the TZC by regulating the operations of noxious, hazardous, dangerous, and polluting uses by giving priority to the discontinuance of those uses; •Responding to overarching EJ policies to develop and implement land use and zoning strategies to separate existing sensitive uses from heavy industrial facilities and emission sources; •Continuing to support the creation of healthy neighborhoods by addressing land use conflicts and incompatible uses through the elimination of the I-OZ zone and associated industrial land use types from the list of allowable land uses within the TZC; •Developing and adopting new regulations to address facilities that emit increased pollution new sensitive receptors within EJ area boundaries, which includes areas of the TZC; •Avoiding potential land use conflicts in the future by prohibiting the location of noxious land uses in proximity to sensitive receptors; and •Creating a sustainable land use plan for the area that phases out land uses that are causing a substantial drain on City and other public agency resources in addressing the impacts from irreconcilable land use conflicts in the TZC area. Additionally, the proposed amendments implement and/or contribute to achieving the following specific action programs of the General Plan, most particularly directly addressing LU3.3 through the creation of a discontinuance of nonconforming industrial uses through amortization: LU1.1 - Development Code Update. Prepare a comprehensive update to the zoning code to ensure that the City’s zoning regulations align with the General Plan’s goals and policies. Update the Metro East Mixed-Use Overlay District to remove the portion within the 17th Street and Grand Avenue Focus Area. Update the Midtown Specific Plan. LU3.3 - Healthy lifestyles. Collaborate with residents and industry stakeholders to create a program to incentivize and amortize the removal of existing heavy industrial uses adjacent to sensitive uses. CN1.4 - Health risk criteria. Establish criteria for requiring health risk assessments for existing and new industries, including the type of business, thresholds, and scope of assessment. Review existing and establish new regulation to reduce and avoid increased pollution near sensitive receptors within environmental justice area boundaries. CN1.7 - Truck idling. Evaluate strategies to reduce truck idling found or reported in areas with sensitive receptors, with a priority placed on environmental justice areas.     City Council 24 – 19 6/3/2025 ZOA No. 2024-02 & AA No. 2024-03 (Transit Zoning Code Amendments) June 3, 2025 Page 20 5 0 6 7 CN1.11 - Public education. Augment existing outreach programs to improve public awareness of State, regional, and local agencies’ roles and resources to identify, monitor, and address air quality and other environmental hazards in the community. HE5.C – Healthy Neighborhoods Initiatives. Update the City’s zoning code development and operational standards for industrial zones to address incompatibility with adjacent uses, including minimum distance requirements to buffer heavy industrial uses from sensitive receptors. Conduct a study to evaluate and establish appropriate minimum distances and landscape buffers between polluting industrial uses from sensitive receptors such as residences. HE44.A – Fair Housing. Ensure all City programs and activities relating to housing and community development are administered in a manner that affirmatively furthers fair housing. Santa Ana’s current General Plan champions implementation policies, including 77 EJ actions that address air quality, noxious uses, water safety, residential lead exposure in the soil, and other environmental public health conditions. The proposed TZC amendments align with both the General Plan's EJ policies and the original land use designations applicable to the area since the adoption of the TZC in 2010. ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT The California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) requires public agencies and local governments to measure the environmental impacts of development projects or other major land use decisions, and to limit or avoid those impacts if possible. CEQA Guidelines Section 15164 states the following with respect to an Addendum to an EIR: a) The lead agency or responsible agency shall prepare an addendum to a previously certified EIR if some changes or additions are necessary but none of the conditions described in Section 15162 calling for preparation of a subsequent EIR have occurred. b) An addendum to an adopted negative declaration may be prepared if only minor technical changes or additions are necessary or none of the conditions described in Section 15162 calling for the preparation of a subsequent EIR or negative declaration have occurred. c) An addendum need not be circulated for public review but can be included in or attached to the final EIR or adopted negative declaration. d) The decision-making body shall consider the addendum with the final EIR or adopted negative declaration prior to making a decision on the project. e) A brief explanation of the decision not to prepare a subsequent EIR pursuant to Section 15162 should be included in an addendum to an EIR, the lead agency’s findings on the project, or elsewhere in the record. The explanation must be supported by substantial evidence. Additionally, CEQA Guidelines Section 15162, Subsequent EIRs and Negative Declarations, states the following with respect to a Subsequent EIRs:    City Council 24 – 20 6/3/2025 ZOA No. 2024-02 & AA No. 2024-03 (Transit Zoning Code Amendments) June 3, 2025 Page 21 5 0 6 7 (a) When an EIR has been certified or a negative declaration adopted for a project, no subsequent EIR shall be prepared for that project unless the lead agency determines, on the basis of substantial evidence in the light of the whole record, one or more of the following: (1) Substantial changes are proposed in the project which will require major revisions of the previous EIR or negative declaration due to the involvement of new significant environmental effects or a substantial increase in the severity of previously identified significant effects; (2) Substantial changes occur with respect to the circumstances under which the project is undertaken which will require major revisions of the previous EIR or Negative Declaration due to the involvement of new significant environmental effects or a substantial increase in the severity of previously identified significant effects; or (3) New information of substantial importance, which was not known and could not have been known with the exercise of reasonable diligence at the time the previous EIR was certified as complete or the Negative Declaration was adopted, shows any of the following: (A)The project will have one or more significant effects not discussed in the previous EIR or negative declaration; (B)Significant effects previously examined will be substantially more severe than shown in the previous EIR; (C)Mitigation measures or alternatives previously found not to be feasible would in fact be feasible, and would substantially reduce one or more significant effects of the project, but the project proponents decline to adopt the mitigation measure or alternative; or (D)Mitigation measures or alternatives which are considerably different from those analyzed in the previous EIR would substantially reduce one or more significant effects on the environment, but the project proponents decline to adopt the mitigation measure or alternative. (b) If changes to a project or its circumstances occur or new information becomes available after adoption of a negative declaration, the lead agency shall prepare a subsequent EIR if required under subdivision (a). Otherwise, the lead agency shall determine whether to prepare a subsequent negative declaration, an addendum, or no further documentation. ZOA No. 2024-02 and AA No. 2024-03 are considered a project as defined by the CEQA. The City, as the Lead Agency, has determined that it is subject to CEQA guidelines and regulations (Public Resources Code (PRC) Sections 21000-21177). An Addendum to the Transit Zoning Code Environmental Impact Report (EIR) (State Clearing House (SCH) No. 2006071100) has been prepared by the City. Based on its independent review and analysis, and the administrative record as a whole, and, in exercising its independent judgement, hereby finds that pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Section 15162, no subsequent EIR would be required for the proposed project; and pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Section 15164, an addendum to the Transit Zoning Code EIR is required for the adoption of the Ordinances.    City Council 24 – 21 6/3/2025 ZOA No. 2024-02 & AA No. 2024-03 (Transit Zoning Code Amendments) June 3, 2025 Page 22 5 0 6 7 Specifically, pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Section 15162, the City finds on the basis of substantial evidence in light of the whole record, that: (1) no substantial changes are proposed in the project which will require major revisions of the EIR due to the involvement of new significant environmental effects or a substantial increase in the severity of previously identified significant effects; (2) no substantial changes have occurred with respect to the circumstances under which the project is undertaken which will require major revisions of the EIR due to the involvement of new significant environmental effects or a substantial increase in the severity of previously identified significant effects; and (3) there is no new information of substantial importance, which was not known and could not have been known with the exercise of reasonable diligence at the time the EIR was certified as complete, that shows any of the following: (A) the project will have one or more significant effects not discussed in the EIR; (B) significant effect previously examined will be substantially more severe than shown in the EIR; (C) mitigation measures or alternatives previously found not to be feasible would in fact be feasible and would substantially reduce one or more significant effects of the project, but the project proponents decline to adopt the mitigation measure or alternative; or (D) mitigation measures or alternative which are considerably different from those analyzed in the EIR would substantially reduce one or more significant effects on the environment, but the project proponents decline to adopt the mitigation measure or alternative. Additionally, as detailed in the General Plan Consistency subsection of this report, the proposed Ordinances are consistent with numerous General Plan goals and policies that were evaluated as part of the General Plan Update Program EIR. The proposed Ordinances also satisfy and further implementation actions of the General Plan Update. FISCAL IMPACT There is no fiscal impact associated with this action. EXHIBITS 1.

Code of Regulations, §§ 15000, et seq., “CEQA Guidelines”) and adopted the City of Santa Ana’s Transit Zoning Code (“Transit Zoning Code”), which is designed to provide the zoning necessary to support the long-term development of a successful transit program; and WHEREAS, after continued research and study, two ordinances have been developed that address the impacts from industrial land uses in the Specific Development No. 84 (SD-84) Zoning District, also known as the Transit Zoning Code: (1) Zoning Ordinance Amendment (ZOA) No. 2024-02 to amend certain provisions of the Santa Ana Municipal Code and amend portions of the Transit Zoning Code, including the deletion of industrial land uses; amendment of non -conforming regulations; and (2) Amendment Application (AA) No. 2024-03 to remove the M1 (Light Industrial) and M2 (Heavy Industrial) suffixes from certain properties within the SD-84 Zoning District boundary as designated on the City of Santa Ana Zoning Map; and WHEREAS, pursuant to CEQA, when taking subsequent discretionary actions in furtherance of a project for which an EIR has been certified, the lead agency is required to review any changed circumstances to determine whether any of the circumstances under Public Resources Code section 21166 and CEQA Guidelines section 15162 require additional environmental review; and WHEREAS, the City has evaluated the proposed ordinances to the Transit Zoning Code in light of the standards for subsequent environmental review outlined in Public Resources Code section 21166 and CEQA Guidelines section 15162, and concluded that the proposed changes would not result in new significant environmental effects or a substantial increase in the severity of previously identified significant effects that were previously disclosed in the Transit Zoning Code EIR, and therefore no subsequent EIR or mitigated negative declaration is required; and WHEREAS, the proposed changes would nonetheless necessitate minor changes or additions to the Transit Zoning Code EIR and, thus, the City has prepared an Addendum for the Transit Zoning Code EIR (“Addendum”), attached as Exhibit 1, pursuant to State CEQA Guidelines section 15164 to address the proposed ordinances; and     City Council 24 – 23 6/3/2025 WHEREAS, the Addendum was prepared in full compliance with CEQA, CEQA Guidelines, and the City’s Local CEQA Guidelines; and WHEREAS CEQA Guidelines Section 15164, subdivision (c) does not require the Addendum to be circulated for public review but can be included in or attached to a final EIR or adopted negative declaration; and WHEREAS, under CEQA and the CEQA Guidelines and as referenced below, the "project" shall mean the proposed ordinances under the Transit Zoning Code including implementation of these ordinances; and WHEREAS, on February 24, 2025, the Planning Commission held a duly noticed public hearing to consider these proposed ordinances, where all interested persons were given an opportunity to be heard, and after closing the public hearing, continued taking any action on this Ordinance to a special meeting held on March 6, 2025, whereby the Planning Commission recommended approval of the ordinances to the City Council; WHEREAS, on April 1, 2025, the City Council held a duly noticed public hearing to consider the proposed ordinances, but the item was not heard and was continued to a date certain, May 6, 2025; WHEREAS, on May 6, 2025, the City Council held a duly noticed public hearing to consider these proposed ordinances, but the item was not heard and was continued to a date certain, June 3, 2025; WHEREAS, on June 3, 2025, the City Council held a duly noticed public hearing to consider these proposed ordinances, where all interested persons were given an opportunity to be heard; and WHEREAS the City Council considered the entire administrative record, including the staff report (and all attachments thereto), the Transit Zoning Code EIR and Addendum, and oral and written testimony from interested persons; NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the City Council of the City of Santa Ana as follows: Section 1. The above recitals are true and incorporated herein by reference. Section 2. CEQA Guidelines Section 15164 requires lead agencies to prepare an addendum to a previously certified EIR if some changes or additions to the project are necessary, but none of the conditions requiring preparation of a subsequent EIR are present. The City Council has reviewed and considered the administrative record, including but not limited to the Transit Zoning Code EIR and the Addendum, which are all incorporated by reference as though set forth fully herein, and finds that those documents taken together contain a complete and accurate reporting of all the environmental impacts associated with the Transit Zoning Code. The City Council further finds that the Addendum and the administrative record have been completed in     City Council 24 – 24 6/3/2025 compliance with CEQA, the CEQA Guidelines, and the City’s Local CEQA Guidelines. The City Council finds and determines that the Addendum reflects the City’s independent judgment. The City Council finds that the foregoing is supported by substantial evidence in the record. Furthermore, when taking subsequent discretionary actions in furtherance of a project for which an EIR has been certified, the City is required to review any changed circumstances under Public Resources Code Section 21166 and CEQA Guidelines Section 15162 to determine whether additional environmental review is required. Based on the substantial evidence set forth in the administrative record, including but not limited to the Transit Zoning Code EIR and the Addendum, the City Council finds that none of the conditions under CEQA Guidelines Section 15162 requiring subsequent environmental review have occurred because the proposed ordinances: a) do not constitute substantial changes that would require major revisions to the Transit Zoning Code EIR due to the involvement of new significant environmental effects or a substantial increase in the severity of previou sly identified effects; and b) do not constitute substantial changes with respect to the circumstances under which the project was developed that would require major revisions of the Transit Zoning Code EIR due to the involvement of new significant environmental effects or a substantial increase in the severity of the previously identified significant effects; and c) do not present new information of substantial importance that was not known and could not have been known with the exercise of reasonable diligenc e at the time the Transit Zoning Code was certified, showing any of the following: (i) that the project would have one or more significant effects not discussed in the earlier environmental documentation; (ii) that significant effects previously examined would be substantially more severe than shown in the earlier environmental documentation; (iii) that mitigation measures or alternatives previously found not to be feasible would in fact be feasible and would substantially reduce one or more significant effects, but the applicant declined to adopt such measures; or (iv) that mitigation measures or alternatives considerably different from those previously analyzed would substantially reduce one or more significant effects on the environment, but which the applicant declined to adopt. Pursuant to CEQA and CEQA Guidelines, the City Council hereby adopts the foregoing findings and adopts the Addendum attached as Exhibit 1. City Council further directs City staff to cause a Notice of Determination to be filed and posted with the County of Orange Registrar-Recorder/County Clerk and the State Clearinghouse within five working days of the City Council’s adoption of this Resolution.     City Council 24 – 25 6/3/2025 Section 3. This Resolution shall become effective immediately upon its adoption. Section 4.

The purpose of the moratorium was to immediately offer protection of public health, safety, and welfare from industrial uses significantly causing pollution burden to adjacent residential neighborhoods within the SD84 Zoning District. On May 21, 2024, the City Council adopted Ordinance No. NS-3064 to extend the moratorium for an additional ten (10) months and fifteen (15) days pursuant to the Government Code to provide sufficient time for staff to continue with data tracking and reporting, research appropriate regulations, and coordinate with outside regulatory agencies and City departments to determine whether further, permanent action is necessary and to generate recommendations to the Planning Commission and City Council. Based upon the City Council’s actions and direction enacting the moratorium combined with the research and analysis of the issues herein, staff has prepared Zoning Ordinance Amendment (ZOA) No. 2024-02 and Amendment Application (AA) No. 2024-03. The proposed amendments (“proposed amendments” or “project”) will modify the list of land uses and permit types including the deletion of industrial land uses; amend nonconforming regulations including the addition of an amortization process for industrial uses; amend and add operational standards for allowed uses and nonconforming uses; delete the Industrial Overlay (I-OZ) zone from text and maps; and delete the M1 (Light Industrial) and M2 (Heavy Industrial) suffixes from certain properties within the SD84 Zoning District boundary as designated on the City of Santa Ana Zoning Map. Refer to Section 3.2 – Project Description. Following preliminary review of proposed ZOA No. 2024-02 and AA No. 2024-03 amendments, the City, as the Lead Agency, has determined that the project is subject to CEQA (Public Resources Code (PRC) §§21000-21177; 14 CCR §§15000, et seq.). This Addendum to Transit Zoning Code (SD 84A and 84B) Environmental Impact Report (“TZC EIR”) (SCH No. 2006071100) has been prepared to demonstrate that, pursuant to the standards contained in CEQA Guidelines Section 15162, this project is within the scope of the TZC EIR. As a result, the City does not need to prepare a subsequent or supplemental EIR as the TZC EIR fully analyzed the potential impacts associated with the proposed amendments. This is consistent with Section 8.06 of the City’s Local Guidelines for Implementing CEQA. 1.2 Statutory Authority and Requirements CEQA Guidelines Section 15164 states the following with respect to an Addendum to an EIR: a) The lead agency or responsible agency shall prepare an addendum to a previously certified EIR if some changes or additions are necessary but none of the conditions described in Section 15162 calling for preparation of a subsequent EIR have occurred. b) An addendum to an adopted negative declaration may be prepared if only minor technical changes or additions are necessary or none of the conditions described in Section 15162 calling for the preparation of a subsequent EIR or negative declaration have occurred. c) An addendum need not be circulated for public review but can be included in or attached to the final EIR or adopted negative declaration.     City Council 24 – 31 6/3/2025 January 2025 2 Environmental Analysis d) The decision making body shall consider the addendum with the final EIR or adopted negative declaration prior to making a decision on the project. e) A brief explanation of the decision not to prepare a subsequent EIR pursuant to Section 15162 should be included in an addendum to an EIR, the lead agency’s findings on the project, or elsewhere in the record. The explanation must be supported by substantial evidence. CEQA Guidelines Section 15162, Subsequent EIRs and Negative Declarations, states the following with respect to a Subsequent EIRs: (a) When an EIR has been certified or a negative declaration adopted for a project, no subsequent EIR shall be prepared for that project unless the lead agency determines, on the basis of substantial evidence in the light of the whole record, one or more of the following: (1) Substantial changes are proposed in the project which will require major revisions of the previous EIR or negative declaration due to the involvement of new significant environmental effects or a substantial increase in the severity of previously identified significant effects; (2) Substantial changes occur with respect to the circumstances under which the project is undertaken which will require major revisions of the previous EIR or Negative Declaration due to the involvement of new significant environmental effects or a substantial increase in the severity of previously identified significant effects; or (3) New information of substantial importance, which was not known and could not have been known with the exercise of reasonable diligence at the time the previous EIR was certified as complete or the Negative Declaration was adopted, shows any of the following: (A) The project will have one or more significant effects not discussed in the previous EIR or negative declaration; (B) Significant effects previously examined will be substantially more severe than shown in the previous EIR; (C) Mitigation measures or alternatives previously found not to be feasible would in fact be feasible, and would substantially reduce one or more significant effects of the project, but the project proponents decline to adopt the mitigation measure or alternative; or (D) Mitigation measures or alternatives which are considerably different from those analyzed in the previous EIR would substantially reduce one or more significant effects on the environment, but the project proponents decline to adopt the mitigation measure or alternative. (b) If changes to a project or its circumstances occur or new information becomes available after adoption of a negative declaration, the lead agency shall prepare a subsequent EIR if required under subdivision (a). Otherwise the lead agency shall determine whether to prepare a subsequent negative declaration, an addendum, or no further documentation. 1.3 Incorporation by Reference The TZC Final EIR, including the original Draft EIR (DEIR), and has been made available for public review at the Lead Agency office (City of Santa Ana). The Final EIR is incorporated into this Addendum by reference.     City Council 24 – 32 6/3/2025 January 2025 3 Environmental Analysis This Addendum is available for public inspection at the City at 20 Civic Center Plaza, Santa Ana, CA, and on the City’s website at https://www.santa-ana.org/environmental-impact-report- transit-zoning-code/. 2.0 BACKGROUND The TZC was established in June 2010, which is located in the area west of Interstate 5, north of First Street, and between Grand Avenue and Flower Street, and south of Civic Center Drive in the City of Santa Ana. The TZC provided new zoning for all of the properties contained within its boundary. However, some properties with existing M1 and M2 zoning and/or existing industrial businesses also received an overlay district designation which allowed for the continuation of industrial land uses on those properties and allows for the option of future mixed- use development to be exercised at the discretion of the property owner. The purpose was to establish a transit-supportive, pedestrian-oriented development framework to support the addition of new transit infrastructure; preserve and reinforce the existing character and pedestrian nature of the City by strengthening urban form through improved development and design standards; encourage alternative modes of transportation; provide for a range of housing options; and allow for the reuse of existing structures. On June 7, 2010, the City adopted the TZC and certified the TZC Final EIR (SCH No. 2006071100). The TZC Final EIR provides a program-level and project-level analysis of the environmental impacts resulting from implementation of the TZC. The majority of the analysis is done at the program level; however, a project-level analysis is provided for the development proposal to demolish 30,000 square feet of existing structures on eleven Redevelopment Agency-owned parcels and to construct 220 affordable residential units. The TZC Final EIR concluded full implementation of the TZC would result in significant and unavoidable impacts with respect to the following: aesthetics, air quality, cultural resources, noise, transportation, and climate change. The TZC Final EIR’s background and environmental impact conclusions are cited throughout this Addendum. In July 2019, the City Council adopted Ordinance No. NS-2970, amending the Transit Zoning Code to modify certain design criteria regarding height, massing, open space location, driveway standards, lot dimensions, and parking alternatives, and determined that this ordinance was exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act pursuant to State CEQA Guidelines, section 15061(b)(3). This amendment did not include changes to land uses or permit types within the TZC. In support of the TZC amendment, the City Council also approved a General Plan amendment, establishing numerous mixed-use General Plan land use designations for the entirety of the TZC. Refer to Figure 1 – Existing Transit Zoning Code area and Figure 2 Transit Zoning Code Designations, below. However, due to the continued application of the industrial overlay zones within the TZC, implementation of the new General Plan land use designations immediately resulted in zoning inconsistencies and land use conflicts with the new General Plan.     City Council 24 – 33 6/3/2025 January 2025 4 Environmental Analysis Figure 1 – Transit Zoning Code Area     City Council 24 – 34 6/3/2025 January 2025 5 Environmental Analysis Figure 2 – Existing Transit Zoning Code Designations     City Council 24 – 35 6/3/2025 January 2025 6 Environmental Analysis 3.0 DESCRIPTION OF PROPOSED PROJECT The proposed amendments would modify the list of land uses and permit types, including the following: •Deletion of industrial land uses •Amend nonconforming regulations, including the addition of an amortization process •Amend and add operational standards for allowed uses and nonconforming uses •Delete the Industrial Overlay (I-OZ) zone from text and maps •Delete the M1 (Light Industrial) and M2 (Heavy Industrial) suffixes from certain properties within the SD84 Zoning District boundary as designated on the City of Santa Ana Zoning Map Implementation of the proposed amendments do not include nor require implementation of any site-specific development projects. Table 1 – Current and Proposed Text Regulations, below lists the proposed amendments and is followed by a summary of each. Figure 2.5 Proposed Transit Zoning Code Designations depicts the removal of I-OZ from the map. Table 1 – Current and Proposed Text Regulations Code Section Title Existing Zoning Code Regulations Proposed Zoning Code Regulations Application of Article SAMC Section 41-2001 establishes the land uses and standards applicable to the TZC - primarily for new uses. The update to text of this Section clarifies that the regulations apply to existing uses, whether conforming or nonconforming, change in land use or tenancy requiring issuance of Certificate of Occupancy. Organization SAMC Section 41-2001.5 establishes the contents and organization of the TZC regulations The update to the text is necessary to encompass the new Section 41-2009 (Operational Standards for Nonconforming Industrial Uses). Nonconforming Buildings, Structures and Uses SAMC Section 41-2002 establishes the regulations for nonconforming buildings, structures or uses within the TZC boundary. The provisions contain minimal limits for rehabilitation of buildings and structures and their expansion for both residential and non- residential uses. The update to text of this Section will further limit some rehabilitation of buildings and structures, with specific emphasis on nonconforming industrial uses. These updated provisions include: • Requiring rehabilitation or expansion of buildings and structures, occupied by any nonconforming use to comply with the new operational standards contained in Section 41-2009. • Prohibits expansion of a building or structure occupied by a nonconforming industrial use. • Discontinuation of nonconforming     City Council 24 – 36 6/3/2025 January 2025 7 Environmental Analysis Code Section Title Existing Zoning Code Regulations Proposed Zoning Code Regulations noxious uses through amortization. • Elimination of certain nonconforming uses and structures • Establishes a process for enacting amortization periods for eliminating certain nonconforming uses. • References to SAMC and State law for abatement of public nuisances. • Establishes authority for voluntary compliance agreements between the City and nonconforming uses. The Industrial Overlay (I-OZ) Zone SAMC Section 41-2004 establishes an overlay zone applied to M1 and M2 zoned properties located within the TZC boundary. Section 41-2004 is deleted in its entirety, removing the I-OZ Zone from the TZC to eliminate industrial land use type zoning altogether. Application for Discretionary Approvals SAMC Section 41-2005 establishes the process and timing of vesting for certain uses approved with a discretionary permit. Section 41-2005 is renumbered as 41- 2004, and the update to the text of this Section adds clarification for effects of the amendments to the TZC dependent upon status of an application in the City process of review, approval, and/or building permit issuance, if required. Zones Established SAMC Section 41-2006 contains the regulations for zoning districts, land uses, and permit types within the TZC. The update to the text of this Section deletes the I-OZ Zone, including replacing Figure 2.1, the Regulating Plan (map) with a new Figure 2.1 removing the I-OZ Zone designation from all parcels within the TZC boundary. Uses Permitted SAMC Section 41-2007 provides the allowable land uses and permit types required to establish a land use by each zoning district within the TZC. The update to the text of this Section clarifies application of the use standards by zoning district as follows: • Modifies Table 2A containing the Use Standards by adding and reclassifying certain land use types appropriate to the TZC land use subcategories • Deletes certain land use types that are inconsistent with the intent and purpose of the TZC, including the deletion of the Small-Scale Industry land use subcategory in its entirety. Operational Standards SAMC Section 41-2008 primarily regulates new uses within the TZC. The update to the text of this Section further limits certain operations to ensure greater compatibility between residential and non-residential land uses. Operational Standards for Nonconforming Industrial Uses SAMC Section 41-2009 is an entirely new set of regulations specific to existing nonconforming industrial uses within the TZC. The new Section establishes regulations for operation of any existing, legally established, nonconforming industrial use. The regulations cover general standards,     City Council 24 – 37 6/3/2025 January 2025 8 Environmental Analysis Code Section Title Existing Zoning Code Regulations Proposed Zoning Code Regulations enclosed operations, air emissions and dust, light, glare, and heat, ground vibration, outdoor storage and screening, hazardous materials, liquid and solid waste, site maintenance, truck parking and loading, and hours of operation. Definitions SAMC Section 41-2080 contains the definitions applicable to terms and land uses of the TZC. The update to the text of this Section provides clarification for certain land use types (artisan/craft product with limited on-site production, commercial recreation facility – indoor, and research and development), adds definitions for land use types (business support services, pet day care facility and trade school, nonconforming industrial, and noxious use), and deletes corresponding definitions for land use types that were deleted as part of the amendments to SAMC Section 41-2006. Source: Planning Commission Staff Report     City Council 24 – 38 6/3/2025 January 2025 9 Environmental Analysis Figure 2.5 – Proposed Transit Zoning Code Designations     City Council 24 – 39 6/3/2025 January 2025 10 Environmental Analysis Analysis of the Amendments The proposed amendments to the Sections of the TZC under the topic headings of Application of Article, Organization, Application for Discretionary Approvals, and Definitions are largely to ensure internal consistency related to the more substantive changes being proposed for the TZC to address irreconcilable land use conflicts, described as follows: • Nonconforming Structures and Uses - Section 41-2002 regulates the nonconforming building, structure or use specifically within the TZC. The regulations are unique to the TZC and do not apply citywide. The regulations determine under certain circumstances when a nonconforming structure or use can rehabilitate both structural or nonstructural; or expand conditions that would allow expansion. Due to the concerns enumerated within this report related to nonconforming industrial uses within the TZC, the amendments to this section increasingly limit rehabilitation of structures to those types of improvements that address compliance with the new Section 41-2009 operational standards for nonconforming industrial uses; and disallow the expansion of any nonconforming industrial use. This Section also includes new provisions to establish a process for the discontinuance of nonconforming uses, specifically noxious uses, and the elimination of those uses or structures through an amortization hearing process. The tools that these new regulations provide are necessary to address the environmental impacts that lead to the adoption of the Moratorium, provide the framework to initiate the process to eliminate noxious industrial land uses from the TZC, and align with the adopted EJ policies of the General Plan. • The Industrial Overlay (I-OZ) Zone – Section 41-2004 created an “exception” zone for properties within the TZC that contained M1 or M2 industrial zoning, uses and structures, when the TZC was adopted in 2010. In order to be both consistent and to promulgate the General Plan land use designations within the TZC, the removal of this overlay zone is necessary. The zone currently gives deference to the property owner of these parcels with an industrial overlay to decide when and whether to redevelop their properties in a manner that would remove the industrial structure and use, replacing it with an allowable use and conforming to the design standards of the TZC. Eliminating the I-OZ Zone will cause these properties to become nonconforming as to use and structure, subjecting them to the regulations as amended and added to Section 41-2002, including discontinuance of nonconforming use or structure though amortization. With the deletion of the entirety of the text of Section 41-2004, Section 41-2005 Application for Discretionary Approvals is renumbered as Section 41-2004. • Zones Established and Uses Permitted – Amendments to Sections 41-2006 and 41- 2007, respectively, include parallel deletion of the I-OZ Zone affecting the Regulating Plan (TZC zoning map) and the corresponding Use Standards tables regulating the land use and permit types for each of the remaining zones of the TZC. Table 2A categorizes land uses into broad subheadings for both residential and nonresidential land uses. The nonresidential land uses are further categorized into commercial-oriented versus industrial-oriented types of uses. The amendments will eliminate the Small-Scale Industry sub-category altogether, since the majority of these uses are industrial uses incompatible with residential uses. The purpose of the TZC is to promote transit-oriented mixed-use development, which pairs residential and nonresidential land uses either horizontally or vertically on a site or within a building. Compatibility of allowable land use types is critical, particularly given the history of the negative impacts from industrial uses remaining in the area and in close proximity to existing and new residential areas. Amending this Section also replaces the TZC zoning map figure to ensure consistency with the City’s Official Zoning Map and General Plan Land Use Map in accordance with requirements of State law, Government Code Section 65860.     City Council 24 – 40 6/3/2025 January 2025 11 Environmental Analysis • Operational Standards and Operational Standards for Nonconforming Industrial Uses – Section 41-2008 contains operational standards applicable to all uses within the TZC boundary. This Section is largely unchanged, with clarification and strengthening of certain regulations to address any possible industrial type function of an allowable land use type as listed in the tables of Section 41-2007. These amendments affected any possible manufacturing related activities, sound, screening walls and eliminated any vehicular service on Sundays. Section 41-2009 establishes new regulations governing existing industrial uses made nonconforming with the removal of the I-OZ Zone within the TZC, and include general standards, enclosed operations, air emissions and dust, light, glare, and heat, ground vibration, outdoor storage and screening, hazardous materials, liquid and solid waste, site maintenance, truck parking and loading, and hours of operation. The amendments to Section 41-2008 and creation of new regulations under Section 41-2009 ensure that existing nonconforming uses comply with very specific operational standards and/or face amortization that leads ultimately to discontinuance of use, effectively reestablishing the TZC area with residential uses and allowing certain nonresidential uses compatible to such residential and/or mixed-use development. 4.0 ENVIRONMENTAL SETTING The City of Santa Ana is located in Orange County and serves as the County seat. The City is in the western central portion of Orange County, approximately 30 miles southwest of the City of Los Angeles and 10 miles northeast of the City of Newport Beach (refer to Figure 3, Regional Location). As shown in Figure 4, Citywide Aerial, the City is bordered by the City of Orange and unincorporated areas of Orange County to the north, the City of Tustin to the east, the cities of Irvine and Costa Mesa to the south, and the cities of Fountain Valley and Garden Grove to the west. The TZC area is shown in blue on both Figure 3 and Figure 4, and a detailed view is shown on Figure 1 in Section 2.0.     City Council 24 – 41 6/3/2025 January 2025 12 Environmental Analysis Figure 3 – Regional Location     City Council 24 – 42 6/3/2025 January 2025 13 Environmental Analysis Figure 4 – Citywide Aerial     City Council 24 – 43 6/3/2025 January 2025 14 Environmental Analysis At the local level, the TZC area is located in the central urban core of the City and comprises over 100 blocks and 450 acres, and is generally bounded by I-5 to the north and east, First Street to the south, and Flower Street to the west. Refer to Figure 1 in the Background section. The majority of the City is urbanized, with residential and nonresidential development, and mobility and public facilities all contributing to Santa Ana’s existing built environment. The City’s incorporated boundaries encompass approximately 27.4 square miles. Residential land uses occupy almost 40 percent of the land within the current City boundaries, accounting for 5,226 acres. Other predominant land uses include commercial (1,588 acres) and industrial (1,628 acres). While Santa Ana is a densely populated urban center with one of the most diverse international populations in Orange County, it can generally be characterized as a City of neighborhoods. Santa Ana has over 65 neighborhoods which are distinguished by their history, architecture, housing types, amenities, and unique character. The Specific Development (SD) No. 84 Zoning District, also known as the TZC, is located in the central urban core of the City and comprises over 100 blocks and 450 acres, and is generally bounded by First Street, Flower Street, Civic Center Drive, Grand Avenue, and the Santa Ana (I-5) Freeway. The TZC area includes the Orange County Civic Center consisting of City, County and federal buildings, City, Downtown, the Logan and Lacy neighborhoods, which are among the City’s most historic in age and are established residential communities. Additional land uses include a mix of residential, commercial and industrial uses. The TZC area overlaps portions of two of the City’s five focus areas, which are suited for new growth and development under the GPU: the Grand Avenue Avenue/17th Street Focus Area and the West Santa Ana Boulevard Focus Area. The Grand Avenue Avenue/17th Street Focus Area is primarily business oriented with office and commercial storefronts and large apartment complexes. The West Santa Ana Boulevard Focus Area is characterized as a mix of residential, commercial and industrial. 5.0 ENVIRONMENTAL ANALYSIS The Initial Study/Notice of Preparation of the DEIR (Appendix A) concluded certain topics to be “Effects Not Found to Be Significant” according to Section 15128 of the CEQA Guidelines as having less than significant or no impacts, and therefore were not included in the Final EIR. Agricultural Resources. The Initial Study concluded that the soils within the Transit Zoning Code (SD 84A and SD 84B) area are not candidates for listing as prime farmland, unique farmland, or farmland of statewide importance. In addition, no farmland or agricultural activity exists on or in the vicinity of the Transit Zoning Code, and no portion is under a Williamson Act contract. The Initial Study concluded no that no impacts would occur. Geology and Soils. The Transit Zoning Code (SD 84A and SD 84B) area is located in an area of minimal geologic hazards. Any development within the project area would be designed in accordance with applicable building code requirements, which account for seismic groundshaking. The Initial Study concluded that no and less than significant impacts to would occur. Mineral Resources. The Initial Study determined that implementation of the Transit Zoning Code (SD 84A and SD 84B) would not result in the loss of availability of either a known mineral resource of value to the state or region, or a locally important mineral resource recovery site, because no such sites exist within the project area. The Initial Study concluded that implementation of the Transit Zoning Code (SD 84A and SD 84B) would not result in the loss of     City Council 24 – 44 6/3/2025 January 2025 15 Environmental Analysis availability of a locally important mineral resource delineated on a local general plan, specific plan, or other land use plan. Because the TZC Final EIR was certified in 2010, certain topics that were later added to the state CEQA Guidelines checklist were not included. The Tribal Cultural Resources topic was added to the CEQA Guidelines in 2017. Although added as a separate topic, the TZC DEIR Cultural Resources section did include an evaluation of Native American resources in Section 4.4.1 – Environmental Setting and Section 4.4.2 – Regulatory Framework. Impact 4.4-1 included MM 4.4-1(a) that required construction monitoring by a tribe. The TZC EIR included a Global Climate Change topic, which included greenhouse gas emissions. The Greenhouse Gas Emissions topic was added to the CEQA Guidelines in 2018. Greenhouse Gas Emissions was discussed in Section 4.13.2 – Existing Conditions, Section 4.13.2 – Regulatory Framework, and Section 4.13.4 – Project Impacts and Mitigation Measures. The Energy and Wildfire topics were added to the CEQA Guidelines in 2018. Although added as separate topics, Energy is discussed within Sections 4.12.12 and 4.12.13 of the Utilities and Service Systems topic of the TZC EIR. Wildfire (i.e. wildland fires), is discussed within Section 4.5.3 of the Hazards and Hazardous Materials topic of the TZC EIR. Although these topics were added following certification of the TZC Final EIR, they were discussed and analyzed in the respective sections identified above and do not represent new impacts not previously addressed. Sections 5.1 through 5.13, below, analyzes the potentially significant impacts that could occur as a result of implementing the proposed project through the adoption of the proposed text regulations identified in Table 1 – Current and Proposed Text Regulations. Each topical section lists impact statements and mitigation measures from the TZC EIR, and provides an analysis and conclusion. Each TZC EIR conclusion includes a reference to the EIR impact statement (ex., Impact 4.1-3) and includes its associated significance finding. 5.1 AESTHETICS/VISUAL RESOURCES This section analyzes the effects to aesthetics and visual resources from implementing the proposed zoning code regulations. Would the project: a. Have a substantial adverse effect on a scenic vista? b. Substantially damage scenic resources, including, but not limited to, trees, rock outcroppings, and historic buildings within a state scenic highway? c. Substantially degrade the existing visual character or quality of the site and its surroundings? d. Create a new source of substantial light or glare, which would adversely affect day or nighttime views in the area? e. A project would be considered to create significant shade/shadow impacts if shade/shadow from the project results in a substantial loss of sunlight in a residential area or other sensitive receptor. Other sensitive receptors would include schools and parks.     City Council 24 – 45 6/3/2025 January 2025 16 Environmental Analysis TZC EIR Conclusions •Implementation of the Transit Zoning Code (SD 84A and SD 84B) would not substantially damage scenic resources within a State scenic highway, and no further analysis is necessary in this EIR. (DEIR Section 4.1.3: Effects Found to Have No Impact) •Development under the Transit Zoning Code (SD 84A and SD 84B) would contribute to the image of, and add to the aesthetic quality of the City. As such, development under the proposed project would not degrade the existing visual quality of the area or obstruct key existing views and/or vistas in the vicinity. (Impact 4.1-1: Less Than Significant without mitigation) •Future development under the Transit Zoning Code (SD 84A and SD 84B) would improve the existing visual character. (Impact 4.1-2: Less Than Significant without mitigation) •Long-term cumulative development occurring pursuant to the Transit Zoning Code, and associated infrastructure improvements would result in new sources of increased daytime glare. (Impact 4.1-3: Less Than Significant with mitigation) •Long-term cumulative development occurring pursuant to the Transit Zoning Code would result in new sources of spillover light. (Impact 4.1-4: Less Than Significant with mitigation) •Long-term cumulative development occurring pursuant to the Transit Zoning Code (SD 84A and SD 84B) would result in a substantial increase in shade/shadows over sensitive uses. (Impact 4.1-5: Significant and Unavoidable and no feasible mitigation) TZC EIR FEIR Mitigation Measures MM4.1-1 Proposed new structures shall be designed to maximize the use of textured or other non-reflective exterior surfaces and non-reflective glass. Building materials shall be reviewed by the City of Santa Ana prior to issuance of building permits for each project. (Impact 4.1-3) MM4.1-2 All exterior lighting and advertising (including signage) shall be directed onto the specific location intended for illumination (e.g., parking lots, driveways, and walkways) and shielded away from adjacent properties and public rights-of-way to minimize light spillover onto adjacent areas. (Impact 4.1-4) MM4.1-3 Prior to issuance of a building permit for a specific development project, the applicant shall submit a lighting plan to the City for review and approval. The plan shall specify the lighting type and placement to ensure that the effects of security and other outdoor lighting are minimized on adjacent uses and do not create spillover effects. The plan shall specifically incorporate the following design features: o All projects shall incorporate project design features to shield light and/or glare from vehicles entering or exiting parking lots and structures that face sensitive uses (e.g., schools, hospitals, senior housing, or other residential properties) by providing barriers so that light from vehicle headlights would not illuminate off-site sensitive uses. o All projects shall incorporate project design features to provide landscaping, physical barriers, screening, or other buffers to minimize project-generated illumination from entering off-site areas and to prevent glare or interference with vehicular traffic, in accordance with the City’s Municipal Code. (Impact 4.1-4) MM4.1-4 For any proposed structure that would exceed four stories in height, applicants shall submit a site-specific shade/shadow report with renderings representing the level of     City Council 24 – 46 6/3/2025 January 2025 17 Environmental Analysis shade/shadows associated with the proposed development at the following times: 9:00 A.M., 12:00 P.M., 3:00 P.M. PST for the both the winter and summer solstices. An additional rendering for the 5:00 P.M. PST time period shall be prepared for the summer solstice period. Typically, a variety of criteria are used to determine the significance of a shadow impact, including the following: o Affected land use (criticality of direct sunlight for the use). o Duration (hours per day in shadow); time of day (critical time period for direct sunlight). o Season (time of year use would be shadowed). o Extent (percentage of use that would be shadowed). o Preexisting condition (shadow condition due to existing buildings, landscaping, or other features). o Type (solid or dappled shadow). The report shall include any feasible design considerations that would reduce the extent of shadows cast by a proposed structure. The analysis and the project design plans shall be forwarded to the Planning and Building Agency for review and approval. (Impact 4.1-5) Project Analysis and Conclusion The City determined that no impacts related to State Scenic Highways would result from implementation of the project because no scenic highways are located within the TZC area. Impacts related to visual and aesthetic quality (Impact 4.1-1) and visual character (Impact 4.1-2) were below the level of significance and did not require mitigation. Impacts related to daytime glare (Impact 4.1-3) and spillover light (Impact 4.1-4) were less than significant with the implementation of mitigation measures. Long-term development related shade and shadows (Impact 4.1-5) were found to be significant and unavoidable and that specific economic, social, or other considerations make mitigation infeasible. Specifically, no additional feasible mitigation measures exist that would avoid or substantially reduce these impacts. Implementation of the project through the proposed adoption of the text regulations identified in Table 1 – Current and Proposed Text Regulations does not trigger new aesthetic and visual resources impacts requiring preparation of a supplemental or subsequent EIR because the project modifies the list of land uses and permit types (refer to Table 1 – Current and Proposed Text Regulations) including the deletion of industrial land uses; amend nonconforming regulations including the additional of an amortization process; amend and add operational standards for allowed uses and nonconforming uses; and delete the Industrial Overlay (I-OZ) zone from text and maps; and delete the M1 (Light Industrial) and M2 (Heavy Industrial) suffixes from certain properties within the TZC area. Thus, there are no new land uses being introduced or different development standards that would have aesthetic or visual resource impacts. In particular, the proposed amendments will establish regulations for nonconforming uses, including light and glare. These regulations and standards will cover general standards, enclosed operations, light, glare, and outdoor storage and screening. No direct or indirect glare or heat, whether from floodlights or from high-temperature processes (including combustion or welding or otherwise) shall be visible or felt at the property line. Lighting must be shielded, boxed, or directed at a downward angle so as to minimize the generation of light and glare and to assure that there is no spillover of light and glare that will impact drivers or pedestrians on the public streets, on site activities, and adjoining or nearby properties. No activity shall be permitted which causes excessive light and glare to be transmitted or reflected to surrounding properties at a level resulting in detrimental impacts to adjacent properties. Light sources shall generally not be permitted in landscaped, buffer, or setback areas except for those illuminating pedestrian walkways. Lighting used to illuminate parking areas shall be designed, located, and installed to be shielded and downlit and to reflect away from any nearby residential areas.     City Council 24 – 47 6/3/2025 January 2025 18 Environmental Analysis Lighting for advertising signs shall not create glare or light which extends to surrounding properties. Any future development within the TZC area requiring discretionary action would be subject to a project-level CEQA review at the time an application is filed for an individual project. In addition, compliance with the existing regulations and proposed regulations will assure that potential impacts are not exacerbated, which will result in a beneficial impact to aesthetics and visual resources. Mitigation measures MM4.1-1 through MM4.1-4 would continue to apply. Therefore, the project does not trigger new aesthetics impacts requiring the preparation of a subsequent or supplemental EIR. There would be no new or more significant impacts to aesthetics and visual resources. 5.2 AIR QUALITY This section analyzes the effects to air quality from implementing the proposed zoning code regulations. Would the project: a. Conflict with or obstruct implementation of the applicable air quality plan? b. Violate any air quality standard or contribute substantially to an existing or projected air quality violation? c. Result in a cumulatively considerable net increase of any criteria pollutant for which the proposed project region is in non-attainment under an applicable federal or State ambient air quality standard (including releasing emissions which exceed quantitative thresholds for ozone precursors)? d. Expose sensitive receptors to substantial pollutant concentrations? e. Create objectionable odors affecting a substantial number of people? TZC EIR Conclusions •The project would not create substantial objectionable odors. (Impact 4.2-1: Less Than Significant with mitigation) •The project would not create short-term quantities of criteria pollutants above the significance thresholds published by SCAQMD. (Impact 4.2-2: Less Than Significant with mitigation) •Operation of the project would increase local traffic volumes, but would not expose sensitive receptors to substantial localized carbon monoxide (CO) concentrations. (Impact 4.2-3: Less Than Significant without mitigation) •The anticipated population increase of 12,225 new residents as a result of the long-term cumulative development pursuant to the Transit Zoning Code is consistent with the SCAG growth projections for Santa Ana and, therefore, would not conflict with or obstruct implementation of the Air Quality Management Plan. (Impact 4.2-4: Less Than Significant without mitigation) •Construction activities associated with the construction of individual projects within the Transit Zoning Code area, including the Developer project, would contribute substantially to an existing or projected air quality violation for criteria air pollutants. (Impact 4.2-5: Significant and Unavoidable with mitigation)     City Council 24 – 48 6/3/2025 January 2025 19 Environmental Analysis •Operation of the proposed project would exceed South Coast Air Quality Management District standards for VOC, NOX, CO, and PM10 and would result in a projected air quality violation. (Impact 4.2-6: Significant and Unavoidable and no feasible mitigation) •Construction and operation of the proposed project would result in a cumulatively considerable net increase of criteria pollutants for which the proposed project region is in nonattainment under an applicable federal or state ambient air quality standard. (Impact 4.2-7: Significant and Unavoidable and no feasible mitigation) TZC EIR Mitigation Measures MM4.2-1 Trash receptacles within the Transit Zoning Code (SD 84A and SD 84B) will be required to have lids that enable convenient collection and loading and will be emptied on a regular basis, in compliance with City of Santa Ana regulations for the collection of solid waste. (Impact 4.2-1) MM4.2-2 The construction contractor should ensure that no more than 5 acres per day are actively graded or developed. (Impact 4.2-2) MM4.2-3 The construction contractor should ensure that all active disturbed surfaces should be watered three times per day throughout the construction period. (Impact 4.2-2) MM4.2-4 The construction contractor should ensure that the mass grading, fine grading, and structure construction are conducted at separate time periods and do not overlap with one another. (Impact 4.2-2) MM4.2-5 The construction contractor should ensure that all haul roads are watered three (3) times per day. (Impact 4.2-2) MM4.2-6 The construction contractor should ensure that all traffic on unpaved roads is reduced to 15 mph or less. (Impact 4.2-2) MM4.2-7 Project applicants shall require by contract specifications that all diesel-powered equipment used will be retrofitted with after-treatment products (e.g., engine catalysts) to the extent that they are readily available in the South Coast Air Basin. Contract specifications shall be included in project construction documents, which shall be reviewed by the City of Santa Ana prior to issuance of a grading permit. (Impact 4.2-5) MM4.2-8 Project applicants shall require by contract specifications that all heavy-duty diesel- powered equipment operating and refueling at the project site use low-NOX diesel fuel to the extent that it is readily available and cost effective (up to 125 percent of the cost of California Air Resources Board diesel) in the South Coast Air Basin (this does not apply to diesel-powered trucks traveling to and from the project site). Contract specifications shall be included in project construction documents, which shall be reviewed by the City of Santa Ana prior to issuance of a grading permit. (Impact 4.2-5) MM4.2-9 Project applicants shall require by contract specifications that alternative fuel construction equipment (i.e., compressed natural gas, liquid petroleum gas, and unleaded gasoline) be utilized to the extent that the equipment is readily available and cost effective in the South Coast Air Basin. Contract specifications shall be included in project construction documents, which shall be reviewed by the City of Santa Ana prior to issuance of a grading permit. (Impact 4.2-5) MM4.2-10 Project applicants shall require by contract specifications that construction equipment engines be maintained in good condition and in proper tune per manufacturer’s specification for     City Council 24 – 49 6/3/2025 January 2025 20 Environmental Analysis the duration of construction. Contract specifications shall be included in project construction documents, which shall be reviewed by the City of Santa Ana prior to issuance of a grading permit. (Impact 4.2-5) MM4.2-11 Project applicants shall require by contract specifications that construction operations rely on the electricity infrastructure surrounding the construction site rather than electrical generators powered by internal combustion engines to the extent feasible. Contract specifications shall be included in project construction documents, which shall be reviewed by the City of Santa Ana prior to issuance of a grading permit. (Impact 4.2-5) MM4.2-12 As required by South Coast Air Quality Management District Rule 403—Fugitive Dust, all construction activities that are capable of generating fugitive dust are required to implement dust control measures during each phase of project development to reduce the amount of particulate matter entrained in the ambient air. These measures include the following: o Application of soil stabilizers to inactive construction areas. o Quick replacement of ground cover in disturbed areas. o Watering of exposed surfaces three times daily. o Watering of all unpaved haul roads three times daily. o Covering all stock piles with tarp. o Reduction of vehicle speed on unpaved roads. o Post signs on-site limiting traffic to 15 miles per hour or less. o Sweep streets adjacent to the project site at the end of the day if visible soil material is carried over to adjacent roads. o Cover or have water applied to the exposed surface of all trucks hauling dirt, sand, soil, or other loose materials prior to leaving the site to prevent dust from impacting the surrounding areas. o Install wheel washers where vehicles enter and exit unpaved roads onto paved roads to wash off trucks and any equipment leaving the site each trip. (Impact 4.2-5) MM4.2-13 The developer shall require by contract specifications that construction-related equipment, including heavy-duty equipment, motor vehicles, and portable equipment, shall be turned off when not in use for more than 30 minutes. Diesel-fueled commercial motor vehicles with gross vehicular weight ratings of greater than 10,000 pounds shall be turned off when not in use for more than 5 minutes. Contract specifications shall be included in the proposed project construction documents, which shall be approved by the City of Santa Ana. (Impact 4.2-5) MM 4.2-14 The developer shall require by contract specifications that construction parking be configured to minimize traffic interference during the construction period and, therefore, reduce idling of traffic. Contract specifications shall be included in the proposed project construction documents, which shall be approved by the City of Santa Ana. (Impact 4.2-5) MM 4.2-15 The developer shall require by contract specifications that temporary traffic controls are provided, such as a flag person, during all phases of construction to maintain smooth traffic flow. Contract specifications shall be included in the proposed project construction documents, which shall be approved by the City of Santa Ana.

Contract specifications shall be included in the proposed project construction documents, which shall be approved by the City of Santa Ana. (Impact 4.2-5)     City Council 24 – 50 6/3/2025 January 2025 21 Environmental Analysis MM4.2-17 Upon issuance of building or grading permits, whichever is issued earliest, notification shall be mailed to owners and occupants of all developed land uses within ¼ mile of any project within the Transit Zoning Code (SD 84A and SD 84B) boundaries greater than four stories in height or 25,000 sf in area providing a schedule for major construction activities that will occur through the duration of the construction period. In addition, the notification will include the identification and contact number for a community liaison and designated construction manager that would be available on site to monitor construction activities. The construction manager shall be responsible for complying with all project requirements related to PM10 generation. The construction manager will be located at the on-site construction office during construction hours for the duration of all construction activities. Contract information for the community liaison and construction manager will be located at the construction office, City Hall, the police department, and a sign on site.

Contract specifications shall be included in the proposed project construction documents, which shall be reviewed and approved by the City of Santa Ana. (Impact 4.2-5) MM4.2-20 The developer shall require by contract specifications that pre-painted construction materials be used to the extent feasible. Contract specifications shall be included in the proposed project construction documents, which shall be reviewed and approved by the City of Santa Ana. (Impact 4.2-5) MM4.2-21 As individual components of the Transit Zoning Code (SD 84A and SD 84B) are implemented, an air quality impact analyses will be completed to determine their independent significance levels. Mitigation is to be incorporated at the individual component level to bring the individual components to less than significant on a site-by-site basis. (Impact 4.2-6) MM4.2-22 Prior to issuance of a building permit, the applicant shall demonstrate that the design of the proposed buildings or structures exceeds current Title 24 requirements (Title 24, Part 6 of the California Code of Regulations; The Energy Commission adopted the 2008 Standards on April 23, 2008, and the Building Standards Commission approved them for publication on September 11, 2008. The 2008 Residential Compliance Manual was adopted by the Commission on December 17, 2008, and the 2008 Non-residential Compliance Manual was adopted January 14, 2009.Energy Efficiency Standards for Residential and Non Residential Buildings, as amended November 1, 2005; Cool Roof Coatings performance standards as amended September 11, 2006) by a minimum of 20 percent, subject to review by the County Building Official. Documentation of compliance with this measure shall be provided to the Planning Department and Building Official for review and approval prior to issuance of the permit. Installation of the identified design features or equipment will be confirmed by the County Building Official prior to certificate of occupancy. Any combination of the following design features may be used to fulfill this mitigation provided that the total increase in efficiency meets or exceeds 20 percent: o Increase in insulation such that heat transfer and thermal bridging is minimized o Limit air leakage through the structure or within the heating and cooling distribution system to minimize energy consumption o Incorporate dual-paned or other energy efficient windows o Incorporate energy efficient space heating and cooling equipment     City Council 24 – 51 6/3/2025 January 2025 22 Environmental Analysis o Incorporate energy efficient light fixtures o Incorporate energy efficient appliances o Incorporate energy efficient domestic hot water systems o Incorporate solar panels into the electrical system o Incorporate cool roofs/light-colored roofing o Or other measures that will increase the energy efficiency of building envelope in a manner that when combined with the other options listed above exceeds current Title 24 Standards (Title 24, Part 6 of the California Code of Regulations; Energy Efficiency Standards for Residential and Non Residential Buildings, as amended November 1, 2005; Cool Roof Coatings performance standards as amended September 11, 2006) by a minimum of 20 percent. (Impact 4.2-6) MM4.2-23 Prior to issuance of a building permit, the applicant shall provide a landscape plan for the Project that includes shade trees around main buildings, particularly along southern elevations where practical, and will not interfere with loading dock locations or other operational constraints. Documentation of compliance with this measure shall be provided to the City Building Official for review and approval.

(Impact 4.2-6) MM4.2-25 The applicant shall provide education and publicity about reducing waste and available recycling services to future tenants. The education and publicity materials shall be provided to the City for review and approval by the Planning Department. (Impact 4.2-6) MM4.2-26 All showerheads, lavatory faucets, and sink faucets within the residential units shall comply with the California Energy Conservation flow rate standards. (Impact 4.2-6) MM4.2-27 Low-flush toilets shall be installed within all commercial and residential (including Congregate Care) units as specified in California State Health and Safety Code Section 17921.3. (Impact 4.2-6) MM4.2-28 All commercial/industrial/common area irrigation areas shall be capable of being operated by a computerized irrigation system which includes an onsite weather station/ET gage capable of reading current weather data and making automatic adjustments to independent run times for each irrigation valve based on changes in temperature, solar radiation, relative humidity, rain, and wind. In addition, the computerized irrigation system shall be equipped with flow-sensing capabilities, thus automatically shutting down the irrigation system in the event of a mainline break or broken head. These features will assist in conserving water, eliminating the potential of slope failure due to mainline breaks, and eliminating over-watering and flooding due to pipe and/or head breaks. (Impact 4.2-6) MM4.2-29 Landscape designers shall ensure that Project landscaping of commercial/industrial/common areas uses drought-tolerant and smog-tolerant trees, shrubs, and groundcover to ensure long-term viability and conserve water and energy. (Impact 4.2-6) MM4.2-30 Landscape designers shall ensure that the landscape plan includes drought resistant trees, shrubs, and groundcover within the parking lot and perimeter. (Impact 4.2-6)     City Council 24 – 52 6/3/2025 January 2025 23 Environmental Analysis MM4.2-31 Project designers shall ensure that design features incorporate light-colored roofing materials that will deflect heat away from the building and conserve energy. (Impact 4.2-6) MM4.2-32 The Project designers shall ensure that designs include all illumination elements to have controls to allow selective use as an energy conservation measure. (Impact 4.2-6) MM4.2-33 Prior to issuance of a building permit, the applicant shall demonstrate that measures have been included to promote ride sharing programs such as, but not necessarily including, publishing ride sharing information for all of the tenants, designating a certain percentage of parking spaces for ride sharing vehicles, designating adequate passenger loading and unloading and waiting areas for ride sharing vehicles, and providing a website or message board for coordinating rides. Documentation of compliance with this measure shall be provided to the City Building Official for review and approval. Installation of the identified design features or equipment will be confirmed by the City Building Official prior to issuance of certificate of occupancy. (Impact 4.2-6) MM4.2-34 Prior to issuance of a building permit, the applicant shall demonstrate that measures have been included to provide adequate bicycle parking near building entrances to promote cyclist safety, security, and convenience. Documentation of compliance with this measure shall be provided to the City Building Official for review and approval. Installation of the identified design features or equipment will be confirmed by the City Building Official prior to issuance of certificate of occupancy. (Impact 4.2-6) MM4.2-35 Prior to issuance of any certificate of occupancy, the applicant shall demonstrate that all interior building lighting supports the use of compact fluorescent light bulbs or equivalently efficient lighting to the satisfaction of the City Building Official. (Impact 4.2-6) MM4.2-36 Tenants shall be responsible to ensure that preferential parking spaces are allocated to ultra-low emission vehicles and alternative fueled vehicles to encourage the use of alternative fuels and ultra-low emission vehicles. (Impact 4.2-6) MM4.2-2 through MM4.2-29 would also apply to this impact. (Impact 4.2-7) Project Analysis and Conclusion The City determined that impacts related to increased local traffic volumes (Impact 5.2-3) and SCAG growth projections (Impact 4.2-4) were below the level of significance and did not require mitigation. Impacts related to objectionable odors (Impact 4.2-1), criteria pollutants (Impact 4.2- 2), contribute to an air quality violation (Impact 4.2-5) were less than significant with the implementation of mitigation measures. Impacts related to exceeding criteria pollutants during operations (Impact 4.2-6) and construction (Impact 4.2-7) were significant and unavoidable, and that specific economic, social, or other considerations make infeasible additional mitigation. Specifically, no additional feasible mitigation measures exist that would avoid or substantially reduce these impacts. The proposed adoption of the text regulations identified in Table 1 – Current and Proposed Text Regulations would not require preparation of a supplemental or subsequent EIR because the project modifies the list of land uses and permit types including the deletion of industrial land uses; amend nonconforming regulations including the additional of an amortization process; amend and add operational standards for allowed uses and nonconforming uses; and delete the Industrial Overlay (I-OZ) zone from text and maps; and delete the M1 (Light Industrial) and M2 (Heavy Industrial) suffixes from certain properties within the TZC area. Thus, there are no new land uses being introduced that would have air quality impacts. The proposed amendments will introduce new regulations for nonconforming industrial use that would discontinue     City Council 24 – 53 6/3/2025 January 2025 24 Environmental Analysis nonconforming noxious uses, establish screening walls, eliminate vehicle servicing on Sundays. These regulations would reduce dust and lessen air quality emissions. No land use shall generate or cause any visible dust, gases, or smoke to be emitted into the atmosphere. Uses, activities, and processes shall not operate in a manner that emits dust, fumes, odors, smoke, or particulate matter, unless authorized under Federal, State, or local law. Sources of air emissions shall comply with all rules established by the Environmental Protection Agency (Code of Federal Regulations, Title 40), the California Air Resources Board, and the South Coast Air Quality Management District. These regulations will have a beneficial impact to air quality. Any future development within the TZC area requiring discretionary action would continue to be subject to a project-level CEQA review at the time an application is filed for an individual project. In addition, compliance with the existing regulations and proposed amendments will assure that potential impacts are not exacerbated, which will result in a beneficial impact to air quality. Mitigation measures MM4.2-1 through MM4.2-36 would continue to apply. Therefore, the project does not trigger new air quality impacts requiring the preparation of a subsequent or supplemental EIR. There would be no new or more severe significant impacts to air quality. 5.3 BIOLOGICAL RESOURCES This section analyzes the effects to biological resources from implementing the proposed zoning code regulations. Would the project: a. Have a substantial adverse effect, either directly or through habitat modifications, on any species identified as a candidate, sensitive, or special status species in local or regional plans, policies, or regulations, or by the California Department of Fish and Wildlife or U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service? b. Have a substantial adverse effect on any riparian habitat or other sensitive natural community identified in local or regional plans, policies, regulations or by the California Department of Fish and Game or U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service? c. Have a substantial adverse effect on federally protected wetlands (including, but not limited to, marsh, vernal pool, coastal, etc.) through direct removal, filling, hydrological interruption, or other means? d. Interfere substantially with the movement of any native resident or migratory fish or wildlife species or with established native resident or migratory wildlife corridors, or impede the use of native wildlife nursery sites? e. Conflict with any local policies or ordinances protecting biological resources, such as a tree preservation policy or ordinance? f. Conflict with the provisions of an adopted Habitat Conservation Plan, Natural Community Conservation Plan, or other approved local, regional, or state habitat conservation plan? TZC EIR Conclusions •No endangered, rare, threatened, or special status plant species (or associated habitats) or wildlife species designated by the USFWS, CDFG, or CNPS are known to occur or expected to occur within the Transit Zoning Code (SD 84A and SD 84B) area. (DEIR Section 4.3.3: Effects Found to Have No Impact) •No riparian habitat or other sensitive natural communities are located in these areas. (DEIR Section 4.3.3: Effects Found to Have No Impact)     City Council 24 – 54 6/3/2025 January 2025 25 Environmental Analysis •The Transit Zoning Code (SD 84A and SD 84B) area is not in proximity to, nor does it contain, wetland habitat or a blueline stream. (DEIR Section 4.3.3: Effects Found to Have No Impact) •The Transit Zoning Code (SD 84A and SD 84B) is surrounded by urban uses on all four sides, including two highways, and, therefore, does not function as a wildlife movement corridor. (DEIR Section 4.3.3: Effects Found to Have No Impact) •Implementation of the project would not conflict with any local policies or ordinances protecting biological resources. (DEIR Section 4.3.3: Effects Found to Have No Impact) •No conflict with an adopted habitat conservation plan, Orange County NCCP/HCP or other local, regional, or state habitat conservation plan would occur, and there would be no impact. (DEIR Section 4.3.3: Effects Found to Have No Impact) •Long-term cumulative development occurring pursuant to the Transit Zoning Code would not result in a potential reduction in nesting opportunities for resident and migratory avian species of special concern. (Impact 4.3-1: Less Than Significant without mitigation) TZC EIR Mitigation Measures MM4.3-1 To ensure that avian species of concern, protected migratory species (e.g., MBTA), or raptors species are not injured or disturbed by construction in the vicinity of nesting habitat, the project applicant shall implement the following measures: 1. Tree removal shall be restricted to the period between August 30 and February 15, to the extent feasible, to avoid the breeding season of any migratory species that could be using the area, and to discourage nesting in the vicinity of an upcoming construction area. If it is not feasible to remove trees outside this window then, prior to the beginning of mass grading, including grading for major infrastructure improvements, during the period between February 15 and August 30, all trees within 250 feet of any grading or earthmoving activity shall be surveyed for active nests by a qualified biologist no more than 30 days prior to disturbance. If active nests are found, and the site is within 250 feet of potential construction activity, a temporary fence shall be erected, where appropriate, around the tree(s) at a distance of up to 250 feet, depending on the species, from the edge of the canopy to prevent construction disturbance and intrusions on the nest area. The appropriate buffer shall be determined in consultation with the City of Santa Ana Park Naturalist or a designee. 2. No construction vehicles shall be permitted within restricted areas (i.e., protection zones), unless directly related to the management or protection of the legally protected species. 3. If a legally protected species nest is located in a tree designated for removal, the removal shall be deferred until after August 30, or until the adults and young of the year are no longer dependent on the nest site as determined by a qualified biologist. (Impact 4.3-1) Project Analysis and Conclusion The City determined that impacts related to endangered, rare, threatened, or special status plant species or associated habitats or wildlife species, riparian habitat and sensitive natural communities, wetlands or blue line streams, wildlife movement corridors, habitat conservation plans, and biological resource policies would not have any impacts. Impacts to avian species were less than significant with implementation of the mitigation measures.     City Council 24 – 55 6/3/2025 January 2025 26 Environmental Analysis The proposed adoption of the text regulations identified in Table 1 – Current and Proposed Text Regulations would not require preparation of a supplemental or subsequent EIR because the TZC area is intended to be developed for urban uses and located in an area that is completely developed for urban uses. Because TZC area is a heavily disturbed and graded area consisting of industrial and residential uses, and the project does not introduce any new types of land use, and instead removes the industrial overlay zone, there will be no impacts to biological resources. Any future development within the TZC area requiring discretionary action would be subject to a project-level CEQA review at the time an application is filed for an individual project. In addition, compliance with the existing regulations and proposed regulations will assure that potential impacts are not exacerbated, which will result in a beneficial impact to biological resources. The project does not trigger new biological resource impacts requiring the preparation of a subsequent or supplemental EIR. Mitigation measure MM4.3-1 would continue to apply. There would be no new or more significant impacts to biological resources. 5.4 CULTURAL RESOURCES This section analyzes the effects to cultural resources and tribal cultural resources from implementing the proposed zoning code regulations. Would the project: a. Cause a substantial adverse change in the significance of a historical resource as defined in §15064.5 of the CEQA Guidelines? b. Cause a substantial adverse change in the significance of an archaeological resource pursuant to §15064.5 of the CEQA Guidelines? c. Directly or indirectly destroy a unique paleontological resource or unique geologic feature? d. Disturb any human remains, including those interred outside of dedicated cemeteries? TZC EIR Conclusions •Long-term cumulative development occurring pursuant to the Transit Zoning Code could cause a substantial adverse change in the significance of an archaeological resource or disturb human remains. (Impact 4.4-1: Less Than Significant with mitigation) •Long-term cumulative development occurring pursuant to the Transit Zoning Code has the potential to directly or indirectly destroy a unique paleontological resource or unique geologic feature. (Impact 4.4-2: Less Than Significant with mitigation) •The adoption of the Transit Zoning Code (SD 84A and SD 84B) would result in substantial adverse change in the significance of a historical resource as defined in Section 15064.5 of the CEQA Guidelines. (Impact 4.4-3: Significant and Unavoidable and no feasible mitigation) TZC EIR Mitigation Measures MM4.4-1(a) Prior to any earth-disturbing activities (e.g., excavation, trenching, grading) that could encounter undisturbed soils, the project applicant shall retain an archaeologist who meets the Secretary of the Interior’s Professional Qualifications Standards for Archaeology to determine if the project could result in a substantial adverse change in the significance of an archaeological resource pursuant to Section 15064.5 of the CEQA Guidelines or disturb human remains. The investigation shall include, as determined appropriate by the archaeologist and the     City Council 24 – 56 6/3/2025 January 2025 27 Environmental Analysis City of Santa Ana, an updated records search of the South Central Coastal Information Center (SCCIC) of the California Historical Resources Information System (CHRIS), updated Native American consultation, and a pedestrian survey of the area proposed for development. The results of the investigation shall be documented in a technical report or memorandum that identifies and evaluates any archaeological resources within the development area and includes recommendations and methods for eliminating or avoiding impacts on archaeological resources or human remains. The measures shall include, as appropriate, subsurface testing of archaeological resources and/or construction monitoring by a qualified professional and, if necessary, appropriate Native American monitors identified by the applicable tribe (e.g., the Gabrieliño Tongva Nation) and/or the Native American Heritage Commission. The methods shall also include procedures for the unanticipated discovery of human remains, which shall be in accordance with Section 5097.98 of the State Public Resources Code and Section 7050.5 of California’s Health and Safety Code. The technical report or memorandum shall be submitted to the City of Santa Ana for approval. As determined necessary by the City, environmental documentation (e.g., CEQA documentation) prepared for future development within the project site shall reference or incorporate the findings and recommendations of the technical report or memorandum. The project applicant shall be responsible for implementing methods for eliminating or avoiding impacts on archaeological resources identified in the technical report or memorandum. Projects that would not encounter undisturbed soils and would therefore not be required to retain an archaeologist shall demonstrate non-disturbance to the City through the appropriate construction plans or geotechnical studies prior to any earth-disturbing activities. Projects that would include any earth disturbance (disturbed or undisturbed soils) shall comply with MM4.4-2(b). (Impact 4.4-1) MM4.4-1(b) If evidence of an archaeological site or other suspected historical resource as defined by CEQA Guidelines Section 15064.5, including darkened soil representing past human activity (“midden”), that could conceal material remains (e.g., worked stone, fired clay vessels, faunal bone, hearths, storage pits, or burials) are discovered during any project-related earth- disturbing activities (including projects that would not encounter undisturbed soils), all earth- disturbing activity within 100 feet of the find shall be halted and the City of Santa Ana shall be notified. The project applicant shall retain an archaeologist who meets the Secretary of the Interior’s Professional Qualifications Standards for Archaeology to assess the significance of the find. Impacts to any significant resources shall be mitigated to a less-than-significant level through data recovery or other methods determined adequate by the archaeologist and that are consistent with the Secretary of the Interior's Standards for Archaeological Documentation. Any identified cultural resources shall be recorded on the appropriate DPR 523 (A-L) form and filed with the SCCIC. (Impact 4.4-1) MM4.4-2(a) Prior to any earth-disturbing activities (e.g., excavation, trenching, grading) that could encounter undisturbed soils, the project applicant shall retain a professional paleontologist to determine if the project could directly or indirectly destroy a unique paleontological resource or site or unique geologic feature. The investigation shall include, as determined appropriate by the paleontologist and the City of Santa Ana, a paleontology records check and a pedestrian survey of the area proposed for development. The results of the investigation shall be documented in a technical report or memorandum that identifies the paleontological sensitivity of the development area and includes recommendations and methods for eliminating or avoiding impacts on paleontological resources or unique geologic features. The technical report or memorandum shall be submitted to the City for approval. As determined necessary by the City, environmental documentation (e.g., CEQA documentation) prepared for future development within the project site shall reference or incorporate the findings and recommendations of the technical report or memorandum. The project applicant shall be responsible for implementing methods for eliminating or avoiding impacts on paleontological resources or unique geologic features identified in the technical report or memorandum. Projects that would not encounter undisturbed soils and would therefore not be required to     City Council 24 – 57 6/3/2025 January 2025 28 Environmental Analysis retain a paleontologist shall demonstrate non-disturbance to the City through the appropriate construction plans or geotechnical studies prior to any earth-disturbing activities. Projects that would include any earth disturbance (disturbed or undisturbed soils) shall comply with MM4.4- 3(b). (Impact 4.4-2) MM4.4-2(b) Should paleontological resources (i.e., fossil remains) be identified at a particular site during project construction, the construction foreman shall cease construction within 100 feet of the find until a qualified professional can provide an evaluation. Mitigation of resource impacts shall be implemented and funded by the project applicant and shall be conducted as follows: 1. Identify and evaluate paleontological resources by intense field survey where impacts are considered high 2. Assess effects on identified sites 3 Consult with the institutional/academic paleontologists conducting research investigations within the geological formations that are slated to be impacted 4. Obtain comments from the researchers 5. Comply with researchers’ recommendations to address any significant adverse effects where determined by the City to be feasible In considering any suggested mitigation proposed by the consulting paleontologist, the City of Santa Ana staff shall determine whether avoidance is necessary and feasible in light of factors such as the nature of the find, project design, costs, applicable policies and land use assumptions, and other considerations. If avoidance is unnecessary or infeasible, other appropriate measures (e.g., data recovery) shall be instituted. Work may proceed on other parts of the project site while mitigation for paleontological resources is carried out. (Impact 4.4-2) MM4.4-3 Prior to development activities that would demolish or otherwise physically affect buildings or structures 50 years old or older or affect their historic setting, the project applicant shall retain a cultural resource professional who meets the Secretary of the Interior’s Professional Qualifications Standards for Architectural History to determine if the project would cause a substantial adverse change in the significance of a historical resource as defined in Section 15064.5 of the CEQA Guidelines. The investigation shall include, as determined appropriate by the cultural resource professional and the City of Santa Ana, the appropriate archival research, including, if necessary, an updated records search of the South Central Coastal Information Center (SCCIC) of the California Historical Resources Information System (CHRIS) and a pedestrian survey of the proposed development area to determine if any significant historic-period resources would be adversely affected by the proposed development. The results of the investigation shall be documented in a technical report or memorandum that identifies and evaluates any historical resources within the development area and includes recommendations and methods for eliminating or reducing impacts on historical resources. The technical report or memorandum shall be submitted to the City Santa Ana for approval. As determined necessary by the City, environmental documentation (e.g., CEQA documentation) prepared for future development within the project site shall reference or incorporate the findings and recommendations of the technical report or memorandum. The project applicant shall be responsible for implementing methods for eliminating or reducing impacts on historical resources identified in the technical report or memorandum. Such methods could include, but not be limited to, written and photographic recordation of the resource in accordance with the level of Historic American Building Survey (HABS) documentation that is appropriate to the significance (local, state, national) of the resource. (Impact 4.4-3) Project Analysis and Conclusion     City Council 24 – 58 6/3/2025 January 2025 29 Environmental Analysis The City determined that impacts related to archaeological resources (Impact 4.4-1) unique paleontological resources (Impact 4.4-2), and disturbing human remains were less than significant with the implementation of mitigation measures. Impacts related to historical resources (Impact 4.4-3) were found to be significant and unavoidable and that specific economic, social, or other considerations make infeasible additional mitigation. Specifically, no additional feasible mitigation measures exist that would avoid or substantially reduce these impacts. The TZC EIR states that there are 80 designated historic properties that are listed on the Santa Ana Register of Historical Properties, five that are listed on the California Points of Historical Interest, and one that is listed on the California Historical Landmarks within and adjacent to the TZC area. The TZC area has already been subject to extensive disruption from previous development and may contain artificial fill materials. The proposed adoption of the text regulations identified in Table 1 – Current and Proposed Text Regulations would not require preparation of a supplemental or subsequent EIR because specific development projects are neither included nor required, nor would the project introduce new land uses that would have impact to cultural or tribal cultural resources that could otherwise make the long-term significant and unavoidable historical resource impacts more severe. Any future development within the TZC area requiring discretionary action would continue to be subject to a project-level CEQA review at the time an application is filed for an individual project. In addition, compliance with the existing regulations and proposed amendments will assure that potential impacts are not exacerbated. Mitigation measures MM4.4-1(a), MM4.4-1(b), MM4.4- 2(a), MM4.2(b), and MM4.4-3 would continue to apply. In addition, compliance with the existing regulations and proposed regulations identified in Table 1 – Current and Proposed Text Regulations will assure that potential impacts are not exacerbated, which will result in a beneficial impact to cultural resources. Therefore, the project does not trigger new cultural or tribal cultural resource impacts requiring the preparation of a subsequent or supplemental EIR. There would be no new or more severe significant impacts to cultural and tribal cultural resources. 5.5 HAZARDS AND HAZARDOUS MATERIALS This section analyzes the effects to hazards and hazardous materials from implementing the proposed zoning code regulations. Would the project: a. Create a significant hazard to the public or the environment through the routine transport, use, or disposal of hazardous materials? b. Create a significant hazard to the public or the environment through reasonably foreseeable upset and accident conditions involving the release of hazardous materials into the environment? c. Emit hazardous emissions or handle hazardous or acutely hazardous materials, substances, or waste within one-quarter mile of an existing or proposed school? d. Be located on a site which is included on a list of hazardous materials sites compiled pursuant to Government Code Section 65962.5 and, as a result, would it create a significant hazard to the public or the environment? e. For a project located within an airport land use plan or, where such a plan has not been adopted, within two miles of a public airport or public use airport, would the project result in a safety hazard for people residing or working in the project area?     City Council 24 – 59 6/3/2025 January 2025 30 Environmental Analysis f. For a project within the vicinity of a private airstrip, would the project result in a safety hazard for people residing or working in the project area? g. Impair implementation of or physically interfere with an adopted emergency response plan or emergency evacuation plan? h. Expose people or structures to a significant risk of loss, injury, or death involving wildland fires, including where wildlands are adjacent to urbanized areas or where residences are intermixed with wildlands? TZC EIR Conclusions •A private airstrip/heliport is not known to be located within the Transit Zoning Code (SD 84A and SD 84B) area, nor is the Transit Zoning Code (SD 84A and SD 84B) area located in close proximity to a private airstrip/heliport. (DEIR Section 4.5.3: Effects Found to Have No Impact) •The Transit Zoning Code (SD 84A and SD 84B) area is located in a dense urban environment and is surrounded by existing development. There are no wildland areas, nor wildland interface areas located in the vicinity. Consequently, no wildland fires would affect, or be affected by, implementation of the proposed Transit Zoning Code (SD 84A and SD 84B). (DEIR Section 4.5.3: Effects Found to Have No Impact) •Long-term cumulative development occurring pursuant to the Transit Zoning Code could involve the transportation, use, storage, and/or disposal of hazardous materials, such as diesel exhaust. (Impact 4.5-1: Less Than Significant without mitigation) •Construction activities associated with implementation of the proposed Transit Zoning Code (SD 84A and SD 84B) would result in the release of hazardous materials to the environment through reasonably foreseeable upset and accident conditions. (Impact 4.5- 2: Less Than Significant with mitigation) •Construction activities associated with the implementation of the Transit Zoning Code would result in the handling of hazardous materials, substances, or waste within one- quarter mile of an existing school. (Impact 4.5-3: Less Than Significant without mitigation) •The Transit Zoning Code (SD 84A and SD 84B) includes sites which are included on a list of hazardous materials sites and as a result, would create a significant hazard to the public or environment. (Impact 4.5-4: Less Than Significant with mitigation) •Construction activities associated with the implementation of the Transit Zoning Code could result in a safety hazard for people residing or working in the project area. (Impact 4.5-5: Less Than Significant with mitigation) •The Transit Zoning Code could impair the implementation of, or physically interfere with, an adopted emergency response plan or emergency evacuation plan resulting in a significant impact. (Impact 4.5-6: Less Than Significant with mitigation) TZC EIR Mitigation Measures MM4.5-1 When sites that are listed in the EDR Report initiate project development, the project applicant shall prepare a Phase I ESA for the proposed site. The Phase I ESA shall be prepared in accordance with ASTM E-1527-05 “Standard Practice for Environmental Site Assessments: Phase I Environmental Site Assessment Process” (November 1, 2006). The purpose of a Phase I ESA is to identify environmental conditions at a proposed project site that may suggest environmental contamination. The Phase I ESA report shall be prepared by a CA EPA     City Council 24 – 60 6/3/2025 January 2025 31 Environmental Analysis Registered Environmental Assessor or similarly qualified individual prior to initiating any construction activities at the site. If recommended in the Phase I ESA, the project sponsor shall undertake (or require the responsible party to undertake) a Phase II ESA soil sampling plan; or if any environmental contamination is identified by the Phase I ESA, the project sponsor shall implement (or require the responsible party to implement) the recommendations of the report to further investigate and to remove any soil contamination. (Impact 4.5-2) MM4.5-2 In the event that previously unknown or unidentified soil and/or groundwater contamination that could present a threat to human health or the environment is encountered during construction in the Transit Zoning Code (SD 84A and SD 84B) area, construction activities in the immediate vicinity of the contamination shall cease immediately. If contamination is encountered, a Risk Management Plan shall be prepared and implemented that (1) identifies the contaminants of concern and the potential risk each contaminant would pose to human health and the environment during construction and post-development and (2) describes measures to be taken to protect workers, and the public from exposure to potential site hazards. Such measures could include a range of options, including, but not limited to, physical site controls during construction, remediation, long-term monitoring, post-development maintenance or access limitations, or some combination thereof. Depending on the nature of contamination, if any, appropriate agencies shall be notified (e.g., Santa Ana Fire Department). If needed, a Site Health and Safety Plan that meets Occupational Safety and Health Administration requirements shall be prepared and in place prior to commencement of work in any contaminated area. (Impact 4.5-2) MM4.5-3 Prior to the demolition of structures that were constructed before 1980, a thorough investigation shall be completed to determine if asbestos, lead, or PCBs exist on the site. All demolition that could result in the release of lead and/or asbestos must be conducted according to Cal/OSHA standards. (Impact 4.5-2) MM4.5-4 For development of structures that exceed 200 feet in height above ground level at a development site, applicants shall file a Notice of Proposed Construction or Alteration with the FAA (FAA Form 7460-1). Following the FAA’s aeronautical evaluation of the project, projects must comply with conditions of approval imposed or recommended by the FAA. Subsequent to the FAA findings, the project shall be reviewed by the ALUC for consistency analysis. (Impact 4.5-5) MM4.5-5 Prior to initiation of construction activities, any development within the Transit Zoning Code (SD 84A and SD 84B) Area shall have a completed traffic control plan, prepared by the project proponent that will be implemented during construction activities. This may include, but is not limited to, the maintenance of at least one unobstructed lane in both directions on surrounding roadways. At any time if only a single lane is available, the developer shall provide a temporary traffic signal, signal carriers (i.e., flagpersons), or other appropriate traffic controls to allow travel in both directions. If construction activities require the complete closure of a roadway segment, the developer shall provide appropriate signage indicating alternative routes. (Impact 4.5-6) MM4.5-6 The City Public Works Department shall consult with the Santa Ana Police Department and the Santa Ana Fire Department to disclose temporary closures and alternative travel routes in order to ensure adequate access for emergency vehicles when construction of future projects would result in temporary land or roadway closures. (Impact 4.5-6) MM4.5-7 The Santa Ana Fire Department, in consultation with other applicable City Departments (e.g., Police), shall update their Emergency Preparedness Plan prior to occupancy     City Council 24 – 61 6/3/2025 January 2025 32 Environmental Analysis of the first project developed under the Transit Zoning Code (SD 84A and SD 84B), to address the potential for the accidental release of hazardous materials that may be used, stored, and/or transported in association with operation of project implementation. (Impact 4.5-6) MM4.5-8 Project applicants shall submit evacuation plans on a project by project basis that shall be reviewed and approved by the City Police and Fire Departments. (Impact 4.5-6) Project Analysis and Conclusion The City determined that impacts related to people residing or working in the vicinity of a private airstrip/heliport and wildland areas would have no impact (DEIR Section 4.5.3: Effects Found to Have No Impact). Impacts related to transportation, storage and disposal of hazardous materials (Impact 4.5-1) and handling of hazardous materials near a school (Impact 4.5-3) were below the level of significance and did not require mitigation. Impacts related to reasonably upset of hazardous materials into the environment (Impact 4.5-2), hazardous materials sites (Impact 4.5-4), construction safety hazards for people or residing in the TZC area (Impact 4.5-5) and interference with an adopted emergency response plan (Impact 4.5-6) were less than significant with the implementation of mitigation measures. The proposed adoption of the text regulations identified in Table 1 – Current and Proposed Text Regulations would not require preparation of a supplemental or subsequent EIR because specific development projects are neither included nor required. The new regulations would require that no material or waste shall be deposited upon a subject parcel in such form or manner that it may be transferred off the parcel by natural causes or forces and that all materials or wastes which might cause fumes or dust, or which constitute a fire hazard, or which may be edible by or otherwise be attractive to rodents or insects shall be stored outdoors only in closed containers. Land or buildings shall not be used or occupied in any manner so as to create any fire, explosive or other hazard. All activities involving the use or storage of combustible, explosive, caustic, or otherwise hazardous materials shall comply with all applicable local, State, and Federal safety standards and shall be provided with adequate safety devices against the hazard of fire and explosion, and adequate firefighting and fire suppression equipment in compliance with City of Santa Ana regulations. The burning of waste materials in open fires without written approval of the Fire Department is prohibited. No activities shall be permitted which emit dangerous radioactivity at any point nor shall electrical disturbances which adversely affect the operation of any equipment, other than that of the creator of such disturbances, be allowed. No use, activity or process shall cause electromagnetic interference with normal radio and television reception, or with the function of other electronic equipment beyond the property line of the site in which it is situated. All uses, activities and processes shall comply with applicable Federal Communications Commission regulations. Any future development within the TZC area requiring discretionary action would continue to be subject to a project-level CEQA review at the time an application is filed for an individual project. Mitigation measures MM4.5-1 through MM4.5-8 would continue to apply. Therefore, the project does not trigger new hazards and hazardous materials impacts requiring the preparation of a subsequent or supplemental EIR. In addition, compliance with the existing regulations and proposed amendments will assure that potential impacts to hazards and hazardous materials are not exacerbated. There would be no new or more severe significant impacts to hazards and hazardous materials. 5.6 HYDROLOGY AND WATER QUALITY This section analyzes the effects to hydrology and water quality from implementing the proposed zoning code regulations.     City Council 24 – 62 6/3/2025 January 2025 33 Environmental Analysis Would the project: a. Violate any water quality standards or waste discharge requirements? b. Substantially deplete groundwater supplies or interfere substantially with groundwater recharge such that there would be a net deficit in aquifer volume or a lowering of the local groundwater table level (e.g., the production rate of pre-existing nearby wells would drop to a level that would not support existing land uses or planned uses for which permits have been granted)? c. Substantially alter the existing drainage pattern of the site or area, including through the alteration of the course of stream or river, in a manner that would result in substantial erosion or siltation on or off site? d. Substantially alter the existing drainage pattern of the site or area, including through the alteration of the course of a stream or river, or substantially increase the rate or amount of surface runoff in a manner that would result in flooding on or off site? e. Create or contribute runoff water which would exceed the capacity of existing or planned stormwater drainage systems or provide substantial additional sources of polluted runoff? g. Otherwise substantially degrade water quality? h. Place housing within a 100-year flood hazard area as mapped on a federal Flood Hazard Boundary or Flood Insurance Rate Map or other flood hazard delineation map? i. Place within a 100-year flood hazard area structures, which would impede or redirect flood flows? j. Expose people or structures to a significant risk of loss, injury, or death involving flooding, including flooding as a result of the failure of a levee or dam? k. Expose people or structures to a significant risk of loss, injury, or death involving inundation by seiche, tsunami, or mudflow? TZC EIR Conclusions •The Transit Zoning Code (SD 84A and SD 84B) area is not located within a 100-year flood hazard area as mapped on a federal Flood Hazard Boundary or Flood Insurance Rate Map or other flood hazard delineation map, and is not within the 100-year or 500- year flood hazard area. (DEIR Section 4.6.3: Effects Found to Have No Impact) •The Transit Zoning Code (SD 84A and SD 84B) area is not within the 100-year flood hazard area, (DEIR Section 4.6.3: Effects Found to Have No Impact) •The Transit Zoning Code (SD 84A and SD 84B) area is not located in the flood inundation area of the Prado Dam or the Santiago Dam. (DEIR Section 4.6.3: Effects Found to Have No Impact) •The proposed Transit Zoning Code (SD 84A and SD 84B) would not expose people to a significant risk of loss, injury, or death involving inundation by a seiche, tsunami, or mudflow because the project site is not located near a coastal area, large water body, or unstable and exposed hills or slopes. (DEIR Section 4.6.3: Effects Found to Have No Impact) •Implementation of the Transit Zoning Code would not violate water quality standards, waste discharge, or otherwise substantially degrade water quality. (Impact 4.6-1: Less Than Significant with mitigation) •The majority of the Transit Zoning Code (SD 84A and SD 84B) area is already developed and because the project area is not used for groundwater recharge, the operation of future development under the proposed project would not interfere     City Council 24 – 63 6/3/2025 January 2025 34 Environmental Analysis substantially with groundwater recharge. (Impact 4.6-2: Less Than Significant without mitigation with mitigation) •Development under the Transit Zoning Code (SD 84A and SD 84B) could alter the existing drainage pattern of the area and potentially result in erosion and siltation. (Impact 4.6-3: Less Than Significant) •Future development in the Transit Zoning Code (SD 84A and SD 84B) could alter the existing drainage pattern and potentially result in increased downstream flooding through the addition of impervious surfaces, or exceeding the capacity of existing or planned stormwater drainage systems. (Impact 4.6-4: Less Than Significant with mitigation) TZC EIR Mitigation Measures MM4.6-1 In order to comply with the current version of the Drainage Area Master Plan (DAMP), future development projects in the Transit Zoning Code (SD 84A and SD 84B) area shall prepare Storm Drain Plans, Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plans (SWPPP), and Water Quality Management Plans (WQMP) conforming to the current National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) requirements, prepared by a Licensed Civil Engineer or Environmental Engineer, shall be submitted to the Public Works Agency for review and approval. a. A SWPPP shall be prepared and updated as needed during the course of construction to satisfy the requirements of each phase of the development. The plan shall incorporate all necessary Best Management Practices (BMPs) and other City requirements to eliminate polluted runoff until all construction work for the project is completed. The SWPPP shall include treatment and disposal of all dewatering operation flows, and for nuisance flows during construction. The SWPPP may include, but would not necessarily be limited to, the following applicable measures: o Minimum required pavement widths for residential streets needed to comply with all zoning and applicable ordinances o Use permeable materials for private sidewalks, driveways, parking lots, or interior roadway surfaces o Reduce the overall imperviousness associated with parking lots by using pervious materials in spillover parking areas o Direct rooftop runoff to pervious areas and avoid routing rooftop runoff to the roadway or the stormwater conveyance system o Biofilters including vegetated swales and strips o Extended/dry detention basins o Infiltration basin o Infiltration trenches or vaults o Catch basin inserts o Continuous flow deflection/separation systems o Storm drain inserts o Media filtration o Foundation planting o Catch basin screens o Normal flow storage/separation systems o Clarifiers o Filtration systems o Primary waste water treatment systems     City Council 24 – 64 6/3/2025 January 2025 35 Environmental Analysis o Dry Wells o Cistern b. A WQMP shall be prepared, maintained, and updated as needed to satisfy the requirements of the adopted NPDES program. The plan shall incorporate water quality measures for all improved phases of the project. (Impact 4.6-1 and Impact 4.6-3) MM4.6-2 Prior to issuance of grading permits for future development projects in the Transit Zoning Code (SD 84A and SD 84B) area, applicants shall submit site-specific Hydrology and Hydraulic Studies to the Public Works Department for review and approval. If existing facilities are not adequate to handle runoff that may be generated by the proposed development, then the applicant shall propose feasible remedies to assure that adequate drainage facilities will be available prior to issuance of occupancy permits. The applicant may propose storm drain improvements to be constructed in order to meet project needs. If necessary storm drain upgrades cannot be implemented prior to issuance of occupancy permits, on site detention facilities or other methods acceptable to the City shall be included with new development projects to ensure that post-construction runoff does not exceed pre-development quantities. (Impact 4.6-4) MM4.6-3 During the design of individual projects, applicants shall minimize impervious area by incorporating landscaped areas over substantial portions of a proposed project area. Furthermore, impervious areas shall be directly connected to landscaped areas or bioretention facilities to promote filtration and infiltration of stormwater. (Impact 4.6-4) MM4.6-4 During the design of individual projects, applicants shall control structural source through storm drain stenciling and signage, coverage of trash area to minimize direct precipitation, efficient irrigation to minimize runoff into stormwater conveyance system, slope and channel protection to decrease potentials for erosions of slopes, and use of deep-rooted, drought tolerant plant species for erosion control. (Impact 4.6-4) Project Analysis and Conclusion The City determined that impacts related to within a 100-year flood hazard area, flood inundation area, inundation from the Prado Dam, a seiche, tsunami, or mudflow would have no impacts (DEIR Section 4.6-3). Impacts related to interference with groundwater recharge (Impact 4.5-1), alteration to existing drainage patterns (Impact 4.6-3) and increased downstream flooding (Impact 4.6-4) were less than significant with the implementation of mitigation measures. The proposed adoption of the text regulations identified in Table 1 – Current and Proposed Text Regulations would not require preparation of specific development projects, introduce new land uses nor increase the intensity the existing uses. The new regulations would require liquid or solid wastes discharged from future development projects be properly treated and would therefore not pollute or contaminate any water courses or groundwater. Any future development within the TZC area requiring discretionary action would continue to be subject to a project-level CEQA review at the time an application is filed for an individual project. Mitigation measures MM4.6-1 through MM4.6-4 would continue to apply. Therefore, the project does not trigger new hydrology and water quality impacts requiring the preparation of a subsequent or supplemental EIR. In addition, compliance with the existing regulations and proposed amendments will assure that potential impacts are not exacerbated. Therefore, there would be no new or more severe significant impacts to hydrology and water quality. 5.7 LAND USE     City Council 24 – 65 6/3/2025 January 2025 36 Environmental Analysis This section analyzes the effects on land use from implementing the proposed zoning code regulations. Would the project: a. Introduce new land uses that would result in conflicts of use? b. Physically divide an established community? c. Conflict with any applicable land use plan, policy, or regulation of an agency with jurisdiction over the project (including, but not limited to the general plan, specific plan, local coastal program, or zoning ordinance) adopted for the purpose of avoiding or mitigating an environmental effect.? d. Conflict with any applicable habitat conservation plan or natural community conservation plan? TZC EIR Conclusions •The Transit Zoning Code (SD 84A and SD 84B) area is not located within either a natural community plan or applicable habitat conservation plan. The Transit Zoning Code (SD 84A and SD 84B) area does not contain any critical or sensitive habitat. (DEIR Section 4.6.3: Effects Found to Have No Impact) •The Transit Zoning Code (SD 84A and SD 84B) would not result in conflicts of use. (Impact 4.7-1: Less Than Significant without mitigation) •The proposed Transit Zoning Code (SD 84A and SD 84B) would not physically divide an established community. (Impact 4.7-2: Less Than Significant without mitigation) •The proposed Transit Zoning Code (SD 84A and SD 84B) would conflict with the Santa Ana General Plan by adopting standards and land uses not currently allowed within the proposed Transit Zoning Code (SD 84A and SD 84B) area; however, as part of the proposed project, the General Plan would be amended to incorporate the proposed land uses and development standards. (Impact 4.7-3: Less Than Significant without mitigation) TZC EIR Mitigation Measures All impacts were below the level of significance and mitigation measures are not necessary nor recommended. Project Analysis and Conclusion The City determined that impacts related to conflicts with a natural community plan or applicable habitat conservation plan would have no impacts (DEIR Section 4.6.3: Effects Found to Have No Impact). Impacts related to incompatible land uses (Impact 4.7-1), potential to divide an established community (Impact 4.7-2), and conflicts with the Santa Ana General Plan (Impact 4.7-3) were below the level of significance and did not require mitigation. The proposed zoning ordinance amendments are consistent with various goals and policies of the Santa Ana General Plan, as required by Government Code Section 65860, by timely addressing current inconsistencies within an area of the City prioritized for addressing environmental justice and impacts were found to be less than significant. In effect, the amendments are necessary to address numerous policies of the General Plan that the current     City Council 24 – 66 6/3/2025 January 2025 37 Environmental Analysis TZC is found to be inconsistent with, that without such amendments, will continue the path of irreconcilable land use patterns within the TZC area. Specifically, these policies include Policy LU-1.1 (Compatible Uses), Policy LU-2.4 (Cost and Benefit of Development), Policy LU-3.8 (Sensitive Receptors), Policy LU-3.9 (Noxious, Hazardous, Dangerous, and Polluting Uses), Policy LU-3.11 (Air Pollution Buffers), Policy LU-4.3 (Sustainable Land Use Strategies), Policy LU-4.6 (Healthy Living Conditions), Policy CM-3.2 (Healthy Neighborhoods), Policy EP-1.9 (Avoid Conflict of Uses), Policy EP-3.3 (Mitigate Impacts), Policy CN-1.5 (Sensitive Receptor Decisions), Policy CM-3.2 (Healthy Neighborhoods), and Policy HE-5.5 (Community Development), which are targeted at correcting past land use planning practices that have placed an unequitable environmental and health burden on certain neighborhoods now termed disadvantaged communities. The proposed amendments support these goals and policies by: •Fostering the compatibility between residential and nonresidential land uses within the TZC to enhance livability and promote healthier lifestyles. •Resolving the conflict of industrial land uses and sensitive receptors being in close proximity to each other that pose health hazards by eliminating an overlay zone that promulgated continuation of industrial uses without recourse. •Improving the health of the existing and future residents of the TZC by regulating the operations of noxious, hazardous, dangerous, and polluting uses by giving priority to the discontinuance of those uses. •Responding to overarching EJ policies to develop and implement land use and zoning strategies to separate existing sensitive uses from heave industrial facilities and emission sources. •Continuing to support the creation of healthy neighborhoods by addressing land use conflicts and incompatible uses through the elimination of the I-OZ zone and associated industrial land use types from the list of allowable land uses within the TZC. •Developing and adopting new regulations to address facilities that emit high levels increased pollution near sensitive receptors within EJ (Environmental Justice) area boundaries, which includes areas of the TZC. •Avoiding potential land use conflicts in the future by prohibiting the location of noxious land uses in proximity to sensitive receptors •Creating a sustainable land use plan for the area that phases out land uses that are causing a substantial drain on City and other public agency resources in addressing the impacts from irreconcilable land use conflicts in the TZC area. Additionally, the proposed amendments implement and/or contribute to achieving the following specific action programs of the General Plan, most particularly directly addressing LU3.3 through discontinuing nonconforming industrial uses through amortization: LU1.1 - Development Code Update. Prepare a comprehensive update to the zoning code to ensure that the City’s zoning regulations align with the General Plan’s goals and policies. Update the Metro East Mixed-Use Overlay District to remove the portion within the 17th Street and Grand Avenue Focus Area. Update the Midtown Specific Plan. LU3.3 - Healthy lifestyles. Collaborate with residents and industry stakeholders to create a program to incentivize and amortize the removal of existing heavy industrial uses adjacent to sensitive uses. CN1.4 - Health risk criteria. Establish criteria for requiring health risk assessments for existing and new industries, including the type of business, thresholds, and scope of     City Council 24 – 67 6/3/2025 January 2025 38 Environmental Analysis assessment. Review existing and establish new regulation to reduce and avoid increased pollution near sensitive receptors within environmental justice area boundaries. CN1.7 - Truck idling. Evaluate strategies to reduce truck idling found or reported in areas with sensitive receptors, with a priority placed on environmental justice areas. CN1.11 - Public education. Augment existing outreach programs to improve public awareness of State, regional and local agencies’ roles and resources to identify, monitor, and address air quality and other environmental hazards in the community. HE5.C – Healthy Neighborhoods Initiatives. Update the City’s zoning code development and operational standards for industrial zones to address incompatibility with adjacent uses, including minimum distance requirements to buffer heavy industrial uses from sensitive receptors. Conduct a study to evaluate and establish appropriate minimum distances and landscape buffers between polluting industrial uses from sensitive receptors such as residences. HE44.A – Fair Housing. Ensure all City programs and activities relating to housing and community development are administered in a manner that affirmatively furthers fair housing. Implementation of the proposed adoption of the text regulations identified in Table 1 – Current and Proposed Text Regulations does not trigger new land use impacts that might otherwise occur with a development project requiring preparation of a supplemental or subsequent EIR. The new regulations would provide that any nonconforming business that operates in an unlawful manner, including but not limited to, frequent code violations, police calls, or loitering complaints, or is not in good standing with the City, including, but limited to constant service calls or lapses in Business License renewal, will lose its nonconforming status, enabling the City to take corrective action as it deems appropriate, including business license revocation or terminating utility services or connections. For the purposes of this section, “frequent” is defined as more than one violation, call, or complaint per month during any twelve month period, and “constant service calls” is defined as more than one service call per month during any twelve (12) month period. Thus, the project would not physically divide an established community, or conflict with any land use plan, policy, or regulation adopted for the purpose of avoiding or mitigating an environmental impact. In addition, compliance with the existing regulations and proposed amendments will assure that potential impacts are not exacerbated. Therefore, the project does not trigger new land use impacts requiring the preparation of a subsequent or supplemental EIR. There would be no new or more severe significant impacts to land use. 5.8 NOISE This section analyzes the effects to noise from implementing the proposed zoning code regulations. Would the project: a. Expose persons to or generate noise levels in excess of standards established in the local general plan or noise ordinance, or applicable standards of other agencies? b. Expose persons to or generate excessive groundborne vibration or groundborne noise levels? c. Cause a substantial permanent increase in ambient noise levels in the project vicinity above levels existing without the project?     City Council 24 – 68 6/3/2025 January 2025 39 Environmental Analysis d. Cause a substantial temporary or periodic increase in ambient noise levels in the project vicinity above levels existing without the project? TZC EIR Conclusions •The project is not located within an airport land use plan or within 2 miles of a public airport or public use airport. (DEIR Section 4.8.3: Effects Found to Have No Impact) •Construction activities associated with the proposed project would generate noise levels that exceed the noise standards established by the City of Santa Ana Municipal Code. (Impact 4.8-1: Less Than Significant with mitigation) •Operation of the proposed project could expose noise-sensitive land uses to noise levels that exceed the standards established by the City of Santa Ana General Plan. (Impact 4.8-2: Less Than Significant with mitigation) •Operation of the proposed project would not expose sensitive receptors on or off site to excessive groundborne vibration or groundborne noise levels, (Impact 4.8-3: Less Than Significant without mitigation) •Occupants of the proposed residential units would not be exposed to potentially significant vibration levels. (Impact 4.8-4: Less Than Significant without mitigation) •Physical impact from an increase in ambient noise levels could occur from the construction activities associated with the proposed project, an adverse effect on the nearby residents would not occur. (Impact 4.8-5: Less Than Significant) •No temporary or periodic noise impacts to on- or off-site receptors due to operation of the project. (Impact 4.8-6: Less Than Significant without mitigation) •Operation of the proposed project would not generate increased local traffic volumes that would cause a substantial permanent increase in ambient noise levels in the project vicinity. (Impact 4.8-7: Less Than Significant without mitigation)Operation of the Southern California Regional Rail Authority’s (SCRRA) rail line would potentially expose noise-sensitive land uses located within the Transit Zoning Code (SD 84A and SD 84B) area to noise levels that exceed the standards established by the City of Santa Ana General Plan. (Impact 4.8-8: Significant and Unavoidable and no feasible mitigation) •Construction activities associated with the proposed project would generate or expose persons or structures to excessive groundborne vibration. (Impact 4.8-9: Significant and Unavoidable and no feasible mitigation) TZC EIR Mitigation Measures MM4.8-1 All construction activity within the City shall be conducted in accordance with Section 18-314(e) of the City of Santa Ana Municipal Code. (Impact 4.8-1 and Impact 4.8-9) MM4.8-2 Each project applicant shall require by contract specifications that the following construction best management practices (BMPs) be implemented by contractors to reduce construction noise levels: Two weeks prior to the commencement of construction, notification must be provided to property owners within 300 feet of a project site disclosing the construction schedule, including the various types of activities that would be occurring throughout the duration of the construction period Ensure that construction equipment is properly muffled according to industry standards and be in good working condition     City Council 24 – 69 6/3/2025 January 2025 40 Environmental Analysis Place noise-generating construction equipment and locate construction staging areas away from sensitive uses, where feasible Schedule high noise-producing activities between the hours of 8:00 A.M. and 5:00 P.M. to minimize disruption on sensitive uses Implement noise attenuation measures, which may include, but are not limited to, temporary noise barriers or noise blankets around stationary construction noise sources Use electric air compressors and similar power tools rather than diesel equipment, where feasible Construction-related equipment, including heavy-duty equipment, motor vehicles, and portable equipment, shall be turned off when not in use for more than 30 minutes Construction hours, allowable workdays, and the phone number of the job superintendent shall be clearly posted at all construction entrances to allow for surrounding owners and residents to contact the job superintendent. If the City or the job superintendent receives a complaint, the superintendent shall investigate, take appropriate corrective action, and report the action taken to the reporting party. Contract specifications shall be included in the proposed project construction documents, which shall be reviewed by the City prior to issuance of a grading permit. (Impact 4.8-1) MM4.8-3 Each project applicant shall require by contract specifications that construction staging areas along with the operation of earthmoving equipment within the project area would be located as far away from vibration and noise sensitive sites as possible. Contract specifications shall be included in the proposed project construction documents, which shall be reviewed by the City prior to issuance of a grading permit. (Impact 4.8-1 and Impact 4.8-9) MM4.8-4 Each project applicant shall require by contract specifications that heavily loaded trucks used during construction would be routed away from residential streets. Contract specifications shall be included in the proposed project construction documents, which shall be reviewed by the City prior to issuance of a grading permit. (Impact 4.8-1 and Impact 4.8-9) MM4.8-5 When residential uses would be located in areas with noise levels in excess of 60 dBA CNEL (either through conversion of use/structure or new construction), the project applicant shall provide noise barriers around private open space areas, including patios and balconies, as necessary. The height and density of the barriers shall be sufficient to reduce the exterior noise levels within private open space areas to a CNEL of 65 dBA or less. (Impact 4.8-2) MM4.8-6 Prior to issuance of building permits, building plans shall specify the STC rating of windows and doors for all residential land uses. Window and door ratings shall be sufficient to reduce the interior noise level to a CNEL of 45 dBA or less, and shall be determined by a qualified acoustical consultant as part of the final engineering design of the project. (Impact 4.8- 2) MM4.8-7 Each project applicant shall provide proper shielding for all new HVAC systems used by the proposed residential and mixed use buildings to achieve an attenuation of 15 dBA at 50 feet from the equipment. (Impact 4.8-2) MM4.8-8 The City shall provide a written statement to each applicant for projects located within 400 feet of the SCRRA tracks that shall be provided for each residential unit and resident, notifying them of potential noise and vibration issues associated with the railroad tracks, including the following: Notice of Disclosure     City Council 24 – 70 6/3/2025 January 2025 41 Environmental Analysis Each owner’s [or renter’s] interest is subject to the fact that trains operate at different times of the day and night on the railway tracks immediately adjacent to a project site; and that by accepting the conveyance of an interest [or lease agreement] in that project, owner [or renter] accepts all impacts generated by the trains. Posting of Notice of Disclosure in each residential unit. Prior to offering the first residential unit for purchase, lease, or rent, the property owner or developer shall post a copy of the Notice of Disclosure in every unit in a conspicuous location. Also, a copy of the Notice of Disclosure shall be included in all materials distributed for the Project, including but not limited to: the prospectus, informational literature, and residential lease and rental agreements. (Impact 4.8-8) Project Analysis and Conclusion The City determined that no impacts related to the proximity public use airport would not result in impacts would result. Impacts related to exposure of sensitive receptors from excessive groundborne vibration (Impact 4.8-3), potentially significant vibration levels (Impact 4.8-4), ambient noise increase (Impact 4.8-5), periodic noise impacts (Impact 4.8-6), and noise from increased traffic volumes (Impact 4.8-7) were below the level of significance and did not require mitigation. Impacts from noise levels exceeding City noise standards (Impact 4.8-1) and exposure to noise-sensitive land uses (Impact 4.8-2) were less than significant with the implementation of mitigation measures. Impacts causing groundborne vibration and development exposure near the Southern California Regional Rail Authority’s (SCRRA) rail line (Impact 4.8-8) and construction activities from project implementation (Impact 4.8-9) were found to be significant and unavoidable. Specific economic, social, or other considerations make infeasible additional mitigation. Specifically, no additional feasible mitigation measures exist that would avoid or substantially reduce these impacts. The proposed adoption of the text regulations identified in Table 1 – Current and Proposed Text Regulations would not require preparation of a supplemental or subsequent EIR because specific development projects are neither included nor required. The new regulations would limit daily operations times and days of week, and maximum noise that could be generated from existing uses. No industrial use shall generate ground vibration perceptible without instruments at any point along the property line of the site except for motor vehicle operations. No vibration shall be produced that is transmitted through the ground and is discernible without the aid of instruments by a reasonable person at the property lines of the site. Vibrations from temporary construction, demolition, and vehicles that enter and leave the subject parcel are exempt from this standard. Any future development within the TZC area requiring discretionary action would continue to be subject to a project-level CEQA review at the time an application is filed for an individual project. Mitigation measures MM4.8-1 through MM4.8-8 would continue to apply. In addition, compliance with the existing regulations and proposed amendments will assure that potential impacts are not exacerbated. This will result in a beneficial impact. Therefore, the existing less than significant and significant and unavoidable noise impacts would not result in new or different impacts. 5.9 POPULATION, HOUSING AND EMPLOYMENT This section analyzes the effects to population, housing and employment from implementing the proposed zoning code regulations. Would the project:     City Council 24 – 71 6/3/2025 January 2025 42 Environmental Analysis a. Induce substantial unplanned population growth in an area, either directly (for example, by proposing new homes and businesses) or indirectly (for example, through extension of roads or other infrastructure)? b. Displace substantial numbers of existing housing, necessitating the construction of replacement housing elsewhere? c. Displace substantial numbers of people, necessitating the construction of replacement housing elsewhere? TZC EIR Conclusions •Implementation of the proposed project would accommodate projected population and housing growth. (Impact 4.9-1: Less Than Significant without mitigation) •Construction of development projects pursuant to the Transit Zoning Code (SD 84A and SD 84B) could displace existing people or housing. However, this displacement would not necessitate the construction of additional replacement housing elsewhere. (Impact 4.9-2: Less Than Significant without mitigation) TZC EIR Mitigation Measures All impacts were below the level of significance and mitigation measures are not necessary nor recommended. Project Analysis and Conclusion The City determined that impacts related to accommodating population and housing growth Impact 4.9-1) and displacement of existing housing (Impact 4.9-2) were below the level of significance and did not require mitigation. Any future development within the TZC area requiring discretionary action would continue to be subject to a project-level CEQA review at the time an application is filed for an individual project. The proposed adoption of the text regulations identified in Table 1 – Current and Proposed Text Regulations would not require development of housing units. The new regulations would provide architectural standards to any future development that would regulate the manner in which individual parcels and blocks are developed to create diverse and pedestrian-oriented development that would be consistent with the TZC area. In addition, there shall be no increase in the number of dwelling units unless the site on which the structure is located complies with the off-street parking and open space requirements of the SAMC. Therefore, the existing less than significant population, housing and employment impacts would not result in new or different impacts nor would it increase unplanned growth and does not trigger new population and housing impacts requiring the preparation of a subsequent or supplemental EIR. 5.10 PUBLIC SERVICES This section analyzes the effects to public services and recreational and park facilities from implementing the proposed zoning code regulations. Would the project: a. Result in substantial adverse physical impacts associated with the provision of new or physically altered governmental facilities, or the need for new or physically altered governmental facilities, the construction of which could cause significant environmental     City Council 24 – 72 6/3/2025 January 2025 43 Environmental Analysis impacts, in order to maintain acceptable service ratios, response times or other performance objectives for fire protection? b.

Result in substantial adverse physical impacts associated with the provision of new or physically altered governmental facilities, or the need for new or physically altered governmental facilities, the construction of which could cause significant environmental impacts, in order to maintain acceptable service ratios, response times or other performance objectives for park services? TZC EIR Conclusions •Construction of new projects pursuant to the Transit Zoning Code (SD 84A and SD 84B) would increase the demand for fire protection services, but it would not require the construction of new or physically altered facilities to accommodate the increased demand or maintain acceptable response times. (Impact 4.10-1: Less Than Significant with mitigation) •Operation of the proposed project would increase the demand for police services, thereby requiring additional staffing, although it would not require the construction of new or physically altered facilities or personnel to accommodate the increased demand. (Impact 4.10-2: Less Than Significant with mitigation) •Construction of new residential units within the project area would generate new students that could require the addition of new classroom facilities, thereby requiring new or physically altered facilities to accommodate additional students in Santa Ana Unified School District (SAUSD) schools. (Impact 4.10-3: Less Than Significant) •Construction of new residential units within the project area would generate new library users that could require the addition of new library facilities. (Impact 4.10-4: Less Than Significant without mitigation) •All properties identified as having new development potential to be built out pursuant to the provisions of the Transit Zoning Code (SD 84A and SD 84B) these new projects would generate a need for new or physically altered park facilities in order to maintain acceptable service ratios. (Impact 4.10-5: Less Than Significant without mitigation) TZC EIR Mitigation Measures MM4.10-1 Prior to an issuance of a building permit, individual projects in the Transit Zoning Code (SD 84A and SD 84B) area shall perform a water supply, fire flow test and fire protection     City Council 24 – 73 6/3/2025 January 2025 44 Environmental Analysis system design analysis to ensure that proposed projects are in accordance to meet standard fire protection design requirements. (Impact 4.10-1) MM4.10-2 Any development that would exceed two stories in height shall submit site-specific security plans to the SAPD for review prior to issuance of a building permit. (Impact 4.10-2) MM4.10-3 No developer within the Transit Zoning Code (SD 84A and SD 84B) boundaries shall utilize a frequency of 800 MHz, which is reserved for emergency services. (Impact 4.10-2) MM4.10-4 Individual project developers shall pay school impact fees prior to the issuance of occupancy permits. (Impact 4.10-3) MM4.10-5 Prior to issuance of a building permit for a residential development project, or change of use from non-residential to residential within the Transit Zoning Code (SD 84A and SD 84B) area, project applicants shall pay to the City of Santa Ana the Park Acquisition and Development Fee. (Impact 4.10-5) Project Analysis and Conclusion The City determined that impacts related to the provision of library services (Impact 4.10-4) and recreation park facilities (Impact 4.10-5) were below the level of significance and did not require mitigation. Impacts related to fire services (Impact 4.10-1), Police services (Impact 4.10-2) and generation of new school children (Impact 4.10-3) were less than significant with the implementation of mitigation measures. Any future development within the TZC area requiring discretionary action would continue to be subject to a project-level CEQA review at the time an application is filed for an individual project. Mitigation measures MM4.10-1 through MM4.10-5 would continue to apply. The proposed adoption of the text regulations identified in Table 1 – Current and Proposed Text Regulations would not require preparation of a supplemental or subsequent EIR because specific development projects are neither included nor required. In addition, compliance with the existing regulations and proposed amendments will assure that potential impacts are not exacerbated, which will result in a beneficial impact to public services. Therefore, the existing less than significant and significant and public services impacts would not result in new or different impacts. 5.11 TRANSPORTATION This section analyzes the effects on transportation from implementing the proposed zoning code regulations. Would the project: a. Cause an increase in traffic which is substantial in relation to the existing traffic load and capacity of the street system (i.e., result in a substantial increase in either the number of vehicle trips, the volume to capacity ratio on roads, or congestion at intersections)? b. Exceed, either individually or cumulatively, a level of service standard established by the county congestion management agency for designated roads or highways? c. Result in a change in air traffic patterns, including either an increase in traffic levels or a change in location that results in substantial safety risks? d. Substantially increase hazards due to a design feature (e.g., sharp curves or dangerous intersections) or incompatible uses (e.g., farm equipment)?     City Council 24 – 74 6/3/2025 January 2025 45 Environmental Analysis e. Result in inadequate emergency access? f.Result in inadequate parking capacity g.Conflict with adopted policies, plans, or programs supporting alternative transportation (e.g., bus turnouts, bicycle racks) TZC EIR Conclusions •Operation of the proposed project would result in impacts related to neighborhood traffic in the adjacent residential areas to the Transit Zoning Code (SD 84A and SD 84B) area. (Impact 4.11-1: Less Than Significant with mitigation) •Long-term cumulative development pursuant to the implementation of the Transit Zoning Code would exceed standards established by the Orange County Transportation Authority within the study area. (Impact 4.11-2: Less Than Significant without mitigation) •Development projects constructed pursuant to the standards contained within the Transit Zoning Code would not result in a change in air traffic patterns. (Impact 4.11-3: Less Than Significant) without mitigation •Development projects constructed pursuant to the Transit Zoning Code would not increase hazards due to a design future or incompatible uses. (Impact 4.11-4: Less Than Significant without mitigation) •Development projects constructed pursuant to the Transit Zoning Code could result in inadequate emergency access. (Impact 4.11-5: Less Than Significant without mitigation) •Long-term cumulative development under the implementation of the Transit Zoning Code would not result in inadequate parking capacity. (Impact 4.11-6: Less Than Significant without mitigation) •The Transit Zoning Code would not conflict with adopted policies, plans, or programs supporting alternative transportation. (Impact 4.11-7: Less Than Significant) •Long-term cumulative development under implementation of the Transit Zoning Code would cause an increase in traffic which is substantial in relation to the existing traffic load and capacity of the street system. (Impact 4.11-8: Less Than Significant with mitigation) •Long-term cumulative development under implementation of the Transit Zoning Code would result in impacts related to freeway ramps in the vicinity of the Transit Zoning Code area. (Impact 4.11-9: Less Than Significant with mitigation and Significant and Unavoidable due to a public agency (Caltrans) approval other than the City) TZC EIR Mitigation Measures MM4.11-1 The City of Santa Ana shall, during any roadway improvement within the Transit Zoning Code boundaries, evaluate, consider, and implement as appropriate the traffic calming measure(s), including but not limited to the following: o Curb extensions at local intersections o Short medians at entries to wide streets o Traffic circles at oversized intersections o Speed humps o Turn restrictions (Impact 4.11-1) MM4.11-2 As part of the project, the City of Santa Ana and the project sponsors shall work with the transit providers to implement various transit-related measures to improve and expand bus     City Council 24 – 75 6/3/2025 January 2025 46 Environmental Analysis system service within the Transit Zoning Code (SD 84A and SD 84B) area. These measures may include, but are not limited to, the following: o Adding bus stops to the Transit Zoning Code (SD 84A and SD 84B) area along existing roadways o Changing bus service headways to respond to increased demand o Changing bus service destinations to respond to changing demand o Adding local shuttle service for employees and patrons of the Transit Zoning Code (SD 84A and SD 84B) area o The details of bus service improvements shall be determined in coordination with OCTA. The following recommendations would help encourage public transit patronage for project-related trips: o Bus Stop Locations—Relocation of existing bus stops and the provision of additional bus stops should be considered to accommodate transit users at convenient locations. o Days of Operation—The City should work with OCTA to consider changes to route times to serve nighttime and weekend project visitors and employees. o Headway—The City should work w would be appropriate to reduce them Code (SD 84A and SD 84B) area. MM4.11-3 The City of Santa Ana Public Works Agency shall monitor the traffic signals within the Transit Zoning Code study area once every five years to ensure that traffic signal timing is optimized. (Impact 4.11-8) MM4.11-4 The City of Santa Ana shall institute a program for systematic mitigation of impacts as development proceeds within the Transit Zoning Code to ensure mitigation of the individual improvements. The program shall prescribe the method of participation in the mitigation program by individual projects and guide the timely implementation of the mitigation measures. The program shall include the following elements: A funding and improvement program should be established to identify financial resources adequate to construct all identified mitigation measures in a timely basis. All properties that redevelop within the Transit Zoning Code should participate in the program on a fair share per new development trip basis. The fair share should be based upon the total cost of all identified mitigation measures, divided by the peak hour trip generation increase forecast. This rate per peak hour trip should be imposed upon the incremental traffic growth for any new development within the Transitioning Code. The program should raise funds from full development of the Transit Zoning Code to fund all identified mitigation measures. The program should monitor phasing development of the Transit Zoning Code and defer or eliminate improvements if the densities permitted in the Transit Zoning Code are not occurring. Program phasing should be monitored through preparation of specific project traffic impact studies for any project that is expected to include more than 100 dwelling units or 100,000 sf of non-residential development. Traffic impact studies should use traffic generation rates that are deemed to be most appropriate for the actual development proposed. Properties within Santa Ana and within one-half mile of the Transit Zoning Code that redevelop to result in higher traffic generation should also participate in the program to insure equity.     City Council 24 – 76 6/3/2025 January 2025 47 Environmental Analysis The City may elect to implement appropriate mitigation measures as a condition of approval of the proposed developments, where appropriate. All or part of the costs of these improvements may be considered to be a negotiated credit toward the program, however the program must be administered in a manner that assures that it can fund necessary improvements to maintain adequate level of service at all intersections within this study. If funding of priority improvements cannot be assured, credit for construction of lower priority improvements may not be assured or may be postponed until more program funds are available.

The improvement shall be implemented to mitigate 2035 conditions. (Impact 4.11-9) Project Analysis and Conclusion The City determined that impacts related to exceeding standards from the Orange County Transportation Authority (Impact 4.111-2), change in air traffic patterns (Impact 4.11-3), hazards due to a design future or incompatible uses (Impact 4.11-4), inadequate emergency access (Impact 4.11-5), inadequate parking capacity (Impact 4.11-6), and alternative transportation (Impact 4.11-7) were below the level of significance and did not require mitigation. Impacts related to neighborhood traffic (Impact 4.11-1) and traffic increases to the existing traffic load (Impact 4.11-8) were less than significant with the implementation of mitigation measures. Impacts related to development near freeway ramps (Impacts 4.11-9) were found to be significant and unavoidable and that specific economic, social, or other considerations make infeasible additional mitigation. Specifically, no additional feasible mitigation measures exist that would avoid or substantially reduce these impacts. Any future development within the TZC area requiring discretionary action would continue to be subject to a project-level CEQA review at the time an application is filed for an individual project. Mitigation measures MM4.11-1 through MM4.11-16 would continue to apply. The proposed adoption of the text regulations identified in Table 1 – Current and Proposed Text Regulations would not require preparation of a supplemental or subsequent EIR because specific development projects are neither included nor required. The new regulations would provide recharging spaces for electric vehicles. Also, all truck parking areas must be on paved surfaces and the parking, loading or unloading of trucks associated with a business on public streets is prohibited. In addition, compliance with the existing regulations and proposed amendments will assure that potential impacts are not exacerbated. This will result in a beneficial impact to transportation. Therefore, the existing less than significant and significant and unavoidable transportation impacts would not result in new or different impacts. 5.12 UTILITIES AND SERVICE SYSTEMS This section analyzes the effects to utilities and service systems from implementing the proposed zoning code regulations. Would the project: a. Require or result in the construction of new water treatment facilities or expansion of existing facilities, the construction of which could cause significant environmental effects? b. Require new or expanded water entitlements and resources if there are not sufficient water supplies available to serve the project from existing entitlements and resources? TZC EIR Conclusions • Long-term cumulative development pursuant to the Transit Zoning Code (SD 84A and SD 84B) would generate an additional demand for water, but would not require water supplies in excess of existing entitlements and resources or result in the need for new or expanded entitlements. (Impact 4.12-1: Less Than Significant without mitigation) •Long-term cumulative development pursuant to the Transit Zoning Code (SD 84A and SD 84B) would not require or result in the construction of new or expanded water     City Council 24 – 78 6/3/2025 January 2025 49 Environmental Analysis treatment facilities, the construction of which could cause significant environmental effects. (Impact 4.12-2: Less Than Significant)without mitigation •Long-term cumulative development pursuant to the Transit Zoning Code (SD 84A and SD 84B) would not exceed wastewater treatment requirements of the Orange County Sanitation District. (Impact 4.12-3: Less Than Significant without mitigation) •Long-term cumulative development pursuant to the Transit Zoning Code (SD 84A and SD 84B) could require the construction of new or expanded wastewater conveyance systems, the construction of which would not cause significant environmental effects. (Impact 4.12-4: Less Than Significant with mitigation) •Long-term cumulative development pursuant to the Transit Zoning Code (SD 84A and SD 84B) would not increase wastewater generation such that treatment facilities would be inadequate to serve the project’s projected demand in addition to the provider’s existing commitments. (Impact 4.12-5: Less Than Significant without mitigation) •Long-term cumulative development pursuant to the Transit Zoning Code would not generate solid waste that exceeds the permitted capacity of landfills serving the area. (Impact 4.12-6: Less Than Significant without mitigation) •Long-term cumulative development under the implementation of the Transit Zoning Code (SD 84A and SD 84B) would comply with all applicable federal, state, and local statutes and regulations related to solid waste. (Impact 4.12-7: Less Than Significant without mitigation) •Long-term cumulative development pursuant to the Transit Zoning Code (SD 84A and SD 84B) would increase the demand for electricity and gas, but would not require or result in the construction of new energy production or transmission facilities, the construction of which could cause a significant environmental impact. (Impact 4.12-8: Less Than Significant without mitigation) TZC EIR Mitigation Measures MM4.12-1 Individual project applicants shall prepare site-specific sewer evaluations, including flow monitoring and modeling, during the project design to determine the adequacy of the existing sewer pipe capacity in the affected project area lines. The evaluation shall be submitted to the City of Santa Ana or OCSD, as appropriate, for review and approval prior to issuance of building permits. Any recommendations made in the site-specific sewer evaluations shall be incorporated into the design of each individual project. (Impact 4.12-4) MM4.12-2 Individual non-residential project applicants are encouraged to apply for Southern California Edison’s “Savings By Design” program. The program is aimed at generating an overall reduction in energy use through design methods and incentive programs by maintaining a 15% or greater exceedance of Title 24. (Impact 4.12-8) MM4.12-3 Individual development projects within the boundaries of the Transit Zoning Code (SD 84A and SD 84B) shall implement energy conservation measures (such as energy-efficient lighting and microprocessor controlled HVAC equipment) to reduce the demand for electricity and natural gas as part of the project design. The energy conservation measures shall be subject to modification as new technologies are developed, or if current technology becomes obsolete, through replacement and shall be reviewed by the Planning and Building Agency prior to issuance of a building permit. (Impact 4.12-8) MM4.12-4 Individual development projects within the boundaries of the Transit Zoning Code (SD 84A and SD 84B) shall implement energy conservation measures (such as energy-efficient lighting and microprocessor controlled HVAC equipment) to reduce the demand for electricity     City Council 24 – 79 6/3/2025 January 2025 50 Environmental Analysis and natural gas as part of the project design. The energy conservation measures shall be subject to modification as new technologies are developed, or if current technology becomes obsolete, through replacement and shall be reviewed by the Planning and Building Agency prior to issuance of a building permit. (Impact 4.12-8) Project Analysis and Conclusion The City determined that impacts related to additional water demand (Impact 4.12-1), expanded water treatment facilities (Impact 4.12-2), exceed wastewater treatment requirements (Impact 4.12-3), increase wastewater generation (Impact 4.12-5), generate solid waste exceeding permitted capacity (Impact 4.12-6), and compliance with applicable federal, state, and local solid waste regulations (Impact 4.12-7) were below the level of significance and did not require mitigation. Impacts related to new or expanded wastewater conveyance systems (Impact 4.12- 4) and an increased demand for electricity and gas (Impact 4.12-8) were less than significant with the implementation of mitigation measures. Any future development within the TZC area requiring discretionary action would continue to be subject to a project-level CEQA review at the time an application is filed for an individual project. Mitigation measures MM4.12-1 through MM4.12-4 would continue to apply. The new regulations identified in Table 1 – Current and Proposed Text Regulations would provide any nonconforming business that operates in an unlawful manner, including but not limited to, frequent code violations, police calls, or loitering complaints, or is not in good standing with the City, including, but limited to constant service calls or lapses in Business License renewal, will lose its nonconforming status, enabling the City to take corrective action as it deems appropriate, including business license revocation or terminating utility services or connections. Also, in addition, compliance with the existing regulations and proposed amendments will assure that potential impacts are not exacerbated which will result in a beneficial impact to utilities and service systems. Therefore, the existing less than significant utilities and service systems impacts would not result in new or different impacts requiring the preparation of a subsequent or supplemental EIR. 5.13 GLOBAL CLIMATE CHANGE This section analyzes the effects to global climate change from implementing the proposed zoning code regulations. Would the project: a. Generate greenhouse gas emissions, either directly or indirectly, that may have a significant impact on the environment? b. Generate greenhouse gas emissions, conflict with any applicable plan, policy or regulation of an agency adopted for the purpose of reducing the emissions of greenhouse gas? TZC EIR Conclusions •Long-term cumulative development pursuant to the Transit Zoning Code at full build-out would result in significant localized air quality impacts for operational level emissions. As a whole, this impact is significant for operational emissions due to the size of the Transit Zoning Code (SD 84A and SD 84B) area. (Impact 4.13-1: Significant and Unavoidable and no feasible mitigation)     City Council 24 – 80 6/3/2025 January 2025 51 Environmental Analysis •Long-term cumulative development pursuant to the Transit Zoning Code at full build-out has the potential to conflict with AB 32.

Specifically, no additional feasible mitigation measures exist that would avoid or substantially reduce these impacts. Any future development within the TZC area requiring discretionary action would continue to be subject to a project-level CEQA review at the time an application is filed for an individual project Mitigation measures MM 4.13-1 through MM4.13.24 would continue to apply.     City Council 24 – 83 6/3/2025 January 2025 54 Environmental Analysis The new regulations in Table 1 – Current and Proposed Text Regulations would provide that no land use shall generate or cause any visible dust, gases, or smoke to be emitted into the atmosphere and that uses, activities, and processes shall not operate in a manner that emits dust, fumes, odors, smoke, or particulate matter, unless authorized under Federal, State, or local law. This will result in a beneficial impact to climate change/greenhouse gas emissions. Therefore, the existing significant and unavoidable global climate change impacts would not result in new or different impacts requiring the preparation of a subsequent or supplemental EIR. 5.14 MANDATORY FINDINGS OF SIGNIFICANCE Would the project: a. Does the project have the potential to substantially degrade the quality of the environment, substantially reduce the habitat of a fish or wildlife species, cause a fish or wildlife population to drop below self-sustaining levels, threaten to eliminate a plant or animal community, reduce the number or restrict the range of a rare or endangered plant or animal or eliminate important examples of the major periods of California history or prehistory? b. Does the project have potential to achieve short-term environmental goals to the disadvantage of long-term environmental goals? c. Does the project have impacts that are individually limited, but cumulatively considerable? (“Cumulatively considerable” means that the incremental effects of a project are considerable when viewed in connection with the effects of past projects, the effects of other current projects, and the effects of probable future projects)? d. Does the project have environmental effects which will cause substantial adverse effects on human beings, either directly or indirectly? As detailed herein, on the basis of substantial evidence in the light of the whole record, a Subsequent or Supplemental EIR is not appropriate for the project because none of the criteria permitting such a document under State CEQA Guidelines section 15162 are met. Project implementation does not include nor require implementation of specific development projects. The majority of the City is urbanized, with residential and nonresidential development, and mobility and public facilities all contributing to Santa Ana’s existing built environment. The proposed text amendments to SAMC Sections 41-2001, 41-2001.5, 41-2002, 41-2004, 41- 2005, 41-2006, 41-2008, 41-2009, and 41-2008 would merely update to clarify that the regulations apply to existing uses, further limit some rehabilitation of existing buildings and structures, clarify the effects of amendments to the TZC, further limit certain existing operations to ensure greater compatibility between residential and non-residential land uses, and to establish regulations for operation of any existing, legally established, nonconforming industrial uses. Section 41-2001.5 is updated to encompass new SAMC Section 21-2009, which establishes regulations for operation of any existing, legally established, nonconforming industrial use. Section 41-2004 deletes the Overlay I-OZ zone from the text and map. Implementation of these SAMC amendments would not require implementation of any specific developments or direct physical changes to the environment, and therefore would not be in conflict with the GPU and no intensification of land uses would result. The City of Santa Ana, which includes the TZC area, is not within a NCCP/HCP area, and therefore would not conflict with an adopted NCCP/HCP plan. No direct or indirect substantial adverse effects on human beings would occur.     City Council 24 – 84 6/3/2025 January 2025 55 Environmental Analysis 5.15 CONCLUSION This project proposes amendments to the Transit Zoning Code (SD-84) by way of ZOA No. 2024-02 and AA No. 2024-03. These proposed amendments would modify the list of land uses and permit types including the deletion of industrial land uses; amend nonconforming regulations including the addition of an amortization process; amend and add operational standards for allowed uses and nonconforming uses; delete the Industrial Overlay (I-OZ) zone from text and maps; and delete the M1 (Light Industrial) and M2 (Heavy Industrial) suffixes from certain properties within the SD-84 Zoning District boundary as designated on the City of Santa Ana Zoning Map. Refer to Section 3.0 – Description of the Proposed Project. This project would not result in new or more severe environmental impacts than previously addressed in the TZC FEIR, nor has any new information regarding the potential for new or more severe significant environmental impacts have been identified because the project basically limits industrial uses and would not lead to the expansion or intensification of new, expanded or more intensive uses. Therefore, there will be no new or more severe impacts as the result of the implementation of this project, beyond the impacts that have already been analyzed in the TZC FEIR. In taking action on any of the approvals, the decision-making body of the lead agency must consider the whole of the data presented in the TZC FEIR. As outlined in this Addendum analysis, all impacts of the project were fully examined in the TZC FEIR, and the proposed changes do not require substantial changes to the prior-certified EIR or previously adopted mitigation measures. Therefore, the preparation of an Addendum to the existing certified EIR is the appropriate CEQA document to support the City’s consideration of the project, as outlined in CEQA Guidelines Sections 15162 and 15164.     City Council 24 – 85 6/3/2025 Ordinance No. NS-XXX Page 1 of 50 ORDINANCE NO. NS-XXXX AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF SANTA ANA APPROVING ZONING ORDINANCE AMENDMENT NO. 2024-02, AMENDING CERTAIN SECTIONS OF CHAPTER 41 (ZONING) OF ARTICLE XIX OF THE SANTA ANA MUNICIPAL CODE RELATED TO THE REGULATIONS, OVERLAY DISTRICTS AND MAPS IN THE TRANSIT ZONING CODE/SPECIFIC DEVELOPMENT (SD) NO. 84 ZONING DISTRICT; MODIFYING THE AUTHORIZED LAND USES AND PERMIT TYPES; ESTABLISHING REVISED NONCONFORMING USE REGULATIONS, INCLUDING THE ADDITION OF AN AMORTIZATION/TERMINATION OF USE PROCESS AND ADDING OPERATIONAL STANDARDS FOR CERTAIN PERMITTED AND NONCONFORMING USES THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF SANTA ANA HEREBY ORDAINS AS FOLLOWS: Section 1.

Adaptability of the land and improvements to a currently permitted use; I. Cost of moving and reestablishing the use elsewhere; J. Compatibility with the existing land use patterns and densities of the surrounding neighborhood;     City Council 24 – 94 6/3/2025 Ordinance No. NS-XXX Page 10 of 50 K. The threat to the public health, safety, and welfare posed by the continuance of the nonconforming use or structure; L. Calls for service to applicable response agencies; M. Notices of violation, administrative warnings, or other notices of noncompliance arising from or related to the nonconforming use issued by a Federal, State, or local agency, including the City; and N. Other factors as appropriate. c. Hearing Officer Determination and Compliance. The determination of the Hearing Officer shall be made in writing and shall be final. 1. Notice of Amortization and Termination of Use.

A project for which a Building Permit has been issued may be continued and completed in compliance with the plans and specifications upon which the permit was issued.” Section 8. Section 41-2006 (Zones Established) of Chapter 41 of the Santa Ana Municipal Code is hereby amended, including the replacement of Figure 2.1, to read as follows: “Sec. 41-2006. Zones Established (a) Purpose. This section establishes the zones applied to property within the plan area by the Regulating Plan. The Regulating Plan divides the plan area into separate zones that are based on a transect of intensity within the plan area that ranges from the most urban types of development and land use to the least urban types, with most zones providing for a significant mixture of land uses within them. This approach differs from conventional zoning maps that typically divide cities into zones that rigidly segregate residential, commercial, industrial, and institutional uses into separate areas, and thereby require residents to drive for nearly all daily activities. The use of zones based on development intensity (instead of land use zones) as the spatial basis for regulating development, directly reflects the functions of, and interrelationships between, each part of the plan area. The zones also effectively implement the City’s urban design objectives for each part of the plan area, to establish and maintain attractive distinctions between each zone. This is why some parcels are zoned with more than one zone. In such cases, the zoning is divided along a clear boundary such as the middle of a block. The zones of this Regulating Plan allocate architectural types, frontage types, and land uses within the plan area, as well as providing detailed standards for building placement, height and profile. The diagram to the right Figure 2.1 identifies the eight (8) 9 zones applied within the plan area as they relate to existing rights -of- way and parcels. (b) Zones established. The following zones are applicable to this specific plan, and applied to property within the boundary as shown on the Regulating Plan. (1) Transit Village (TV) Zone. The Transit Village zone is intended to provide standards for compact transit - supportive mixed-use/residential development. This zone is characterized by a wide range of building intensity, including mixed-use tower-on-podium buildings, flex blocks, liners, stacked flats, and courtyard housing. The zone accommodates retail, restaurant, entertainment, and other pedestrian-oriented uses at street level, with offices and flats above in the mixed -use building types, at high intensities and densities. The landscape palette is urban, with shading and accent street trees in parkway strips along Santa Ana Boulevard, and in sidewalk tree wells where on-street parking is provided. Parking is accommodated on-street, in structures with liner buildings, and underground. (2) Government Center (GC) Zone.     City Council 24 – 99 6/3/2025 Ordinance No. NS-XXX Page 15 of 50 This area accommodates a wide variety of civic uses, including Federal, State, and local government offices and services, libraries, museums, community centers, and other civic assembly facilities and is identified, but not regulated, by this Article. Refer to City requirements as identified in SAMC Chapter 41. Building types vary according to their public purpose, are programmed by the various government agencies for their specific sites, and therefore are not coded by this Article the Transit Zoning Code (SD84A and SD84B). The landscape style is urban, emphasizing shading street trees in sidewalk tree wells, and in landscaped public plazas. (3) Downtown (DT) Zone. This zone is applied to the historical shopping district of Santa Ana, a vital, pedestrian-oriented area that is defined by multi-story urban building types (flex blocks, live-work, stacked dwellings, and courtyard housing in the Downtown edges) accommodating a mixture of retail, office, light service, and residential uses. The standards of this zone are intended to reinforce the form and character represented by pre-World War II buildings and recognized as a National Historic District, through restoration, rehabilitation, and context- sensitive infill. The standards also facilitate the replacement or improvement of post-war development that eliminated the pedestrian orientation of various downtown blocks (for example, parking structures with no features of pedestrian interest along their entire lengths). The landscape style is urban, emphasizing shading and accent street trees in sidewalk tree wells. Parking is accommodated on-street and may also be in structures with liner buildings, underground, and within block centers in surface lots not visible from streets. (4) Urban Center (UC) Zone. This zone is applied to the area surrounding the Downtown, which serves as a transitional area to the surrounding lower intensity neighborhoods and to other areas where mixed-use and multi-unit residential buildings create a pedestrian- oriented urban fabric. The zone provides for a variety of non -residential uses and a mix of housing types at medium intensities and densities. Besides accommodating community serving businesses, this zone may also serve the daily convenience shopping and service needs of nearby residents. Building types include mixed-use Flex Blocks, stacked flats, live-work, row- houses, and courtyard housing. The landscape is urban, emphasizing shading street trees in sidewalk tree wells. Parking is accommodated on -street and may also be in structures with liner buildings and underground in areas adjacent to the DT zone, and in surface lots away from street frontages. (5) Corridor (CDR) Zone. This zone is applied to properties fronting existing commercial corridors and provides standards to improve pedestrian-orientation in a transit-supportive, mixed-use area. Mixed-use flex block and live-work building types are at or near the sidewalk, and accommodate street level retail, service, and office uses, with office and residential above. The landscape style is urban, emphasizing shading street trees in sidewalk tree wells. Parking is accommodated on-street, and in screened surface lots between buildings, or away from streets, with no more than half the site frontage occupied by parking.     City Council 24 – 100 6/3/2025 Ordinance No. NS-XXX Page 16 of 50 (6) Urban Neighborhood 2 (UN-2) Zone. This zone is applied to primarily residential areas intended to accommodate a variety of housing types, with some opportunities for live-work, neighborhood- serving retail, and cafes. Appropriate building types include single dwellings, duplexes, triplexes and quadplexes, courtyard housing, rowhouses, and live - work. In some areas, the more intense, hybrid court building type is allo wed where additional intensity is warranted while maintaining compatibility with neighboring properties (see Regulating Plan). The landscape is appropriate to a neighborhood, with shading street trees in parkway strips, and shallow- depth landscaped front yards separating buildings from sidewalks. Parking is on - street, and in garages located away from street frontages. (7) Urban Neighborhood 1 (UN-1) Zone. This zone is applied to existing primarily residential areas and is intended to strengthen and stabilize the low intensity nature of these neighborhoods. Appropriate building types include single dwellings, duplexes, triplexes, and quadplexes, and live-work. The landscape is appropriate to a neighborhood, with shading street trees in parkway strips and landsc aped front yards separating buildings from sidewalks. Parking is on-street, and in garages located away from street frontages. (8) Industrial Overlay (I-OZ) Zone. The I-OZ is applied to areas currently zoned M1 or M2, and occupied with an industrial use, to allow the types of land use activity and development permitted by existing M1 and M2 zoning to continue until such time that the owner chooses to apply the new zones identified in Figure 2.1. In order to determine if the M1 or M2 land use activity and development apply to a particular parcel, the I-OZ is further identified as I-OZ-M1 or I-OZ-M2. Until the property owner applies to modify the zoning district, property in the I-OZ shall be regulated by the provisions of the M1 and M2 zones (SAMC 41, Article I II, Divisions 18 and 19), as applicable. (8) (9) Open Space (O) Zone. This zone identifies areas reserved for community parks and other open spaces and is identified, but not regulated, by this Article. Refer to City requirements as identified in SAMC Chapter 41. Allowable structures in this zone are limited to those necessary to support the specific purposes of the particular open space area (e.g., sport-court enclosures and multi-purpose buildings in active parks, and trails within passive parks).” Figure 2.1 Regulating Plan with Existing R.O.W.     City Council 24 – 101 6/3/2025 Ordinance No. NS-XXX Page 17 of 50 Figure 2.1 Regulating Plan with Existing R.O.W.     City Council 24 – 102 6/3/2025 Ordinance No. NS-XXX Page 18 of 50 Section 9.

Date: ______________________ ________________________________ Jennifer L. Hall City Clerk City of Santa Ana     City Council 24 – 126 6/3/2025 Ordinance No. NS-XXX Page 42 of 50 EXHIBIT “A” A. On April 19, 2022, The City adopted an Amended General Plan. The Amended General Plan became effective on May 26, 2022 and adopted a new Land Use Plan for the City and established new land use designations and policies for development of the City. B. On April 16, 2024, the City Council passed an Urgency Ordinance to adopt a 45-day moratorium on the approval, commencement, establishment, relocation, or expansion of industrial uses within the Transit Zoning Code/Specific Development (SD) No. 84 Zoning District (Moratorium Ordinance”). No. NS-3063. The purpose of the moratorium was to immediately protect the public health, safety, and welfare of residents and businesses from incompatible industrial uses that cause a significant pollution burden to adjacent residential neighborhoods within the SD84 Zoning District. C. On May 7, 2024, the City Council issued and file a Council report to the public, pursuant to Section 65858(d) of the California Government Code, describing the City’s measures to alleviate conditions that led to the adoption of Urgency Interim Ordinance No. NS-3063, on April 16, 2024, regarding a 45-day moratorium on the approval, commencement, establishment, relocation, or expansion of industrial uses within Specific Development No. 84 (the Transit Zoning Code). D. On May 21, 2024, the City Council adopted an extension of the Moratorium Ordinance for an additional ten (10) months and fifteen (15) days pursuant to the California Government Code, Section 65858. The extension was necessary to allow sufficient time for staff to continue with conduct research of appropriate regulations, and coordinate with outside regulatory agencies and City departments to develop appropriate zoning regulation to address the impacts of industrial development in the SD84 Zoning District. E. The Planning and Building Agency routinely reviews its ordinances to incorporate best practices, reflect changes to State law, and address community needs. F. In adopting the Moratorium on April 16, 2024, the City Council of the City of Santa Ana established the following findings, all of which below remain true, applicable and necessary to support the adoption of Zoning Ordinance Amendment (ZOA) No. 2024-02 amending certain portions of Chapter 41 (Zoning) of the Santa Ana Municipal Code, Article XIX. The Transit Zoning Code/Specific Development (SD) No. 84 Zoning District: 1. The Transit Zoning Code (TZC), located in the central core of Santa Ana, comprises approximately 450 acres, encompasses the Logan, Lacy, and Downtown neighborhoods, and was adopted by the City Council on June 7, 2010, and amended on July 16, 2019; and     City Council 24 – 127 6/3/2025 Ordinance No. NS-XXX Page 43 of 50 2. Upon the initial adoption of the TZC in 2010, the General Plan of the City of Santa Ana was updated with new land use designations for the areas covered by the TZC to allow for new, mixed-use residential and commercial communities; and 3. The goals of the TZC are to provide a transit-supportive, pedestrian- oriented development framework to support the addition of new, and enhancement of existing communities through, transit infrastructure; to preserve and reinforce the existing character and pedestrian nature of the City by strengthening urban form through improved development and design standards; to encourage alternative modes of transportation; to provide zoning for the integration of new infill development into existing neighborhoods; to provide for a range of housing options; and to allow for the reuse of existing structures; and 4. Industrial uses were established within the Logan and Lacy neighborhoods in close proximity to sensitive land uses such as residences and schools prior to the adoption of the TZC, as far back as the late 19th century, predating modern zoning practices that take into account irreconcilable land use conflicts among variegated land uses; and 5. The TZC provides new mixed-use zoning for properties contained within its boundary while creating industrial overlay zones allowing properties being used as industrial uses at the time of its adoption to continue to be governed by industrial zoning districts until such time that properties were developed or improved to the mixed-use zones allowed by the TZC; and 6. Senate Bill (SB) 1000 went into effect in 2018, requiring local governments to identify environmental justice communities, called “disadvantaged communities”, in their jurisdictions and address environmental justice in their general plans through facilitating transparency and public engagement in the planning and decision - making processes, reducing harmful pollutants and the associated health risks in disadvantaged communities, and promoting equitable access to health-inducing benefits such as healthy housing options; and 7. The City of Santa Ana completed a comprehensive update of its General Plan in April 2022; and 8. The Office of the Attorney General of the State of California was actively involved in ensuring Santa Ana’s General Plan update complied with all aspects of SB 1000 prior to its adoption; and 9. As required by SB 1000, update of the General Plan and its associated land use plan identified and addressed long standing environmental justice issues throughout all its elements, which include 77     City Council 24 – 128 6/3/2025 Ordinance No. NS-XXX Page 44 of 50 implementation actions aimed at reducing harmful pollutants and associated health risks in disadvantaged communities; and 10. Numerous policies of the General Plan are inconsistent with the present, irreconcilable land use pattern of the TZC. Specifically, these policies include Policy LU-1.1 (Compatible Uses), Policy LU-2.4 (Cost and Benefit of Development), Policy LU-3.8 (Sensitive Receptors), Policy LU-3.9 (Noxious, Hazardous, Dangerous, and Polluting Uses), Policy LU-3.11 (Air Pollution Buffers), Policy LU-4.3 (Sustainable Land Use Strategies), Policy LU-4.6 (Healthy Living Conditions), Policy CM-3.2 (Healthy Neighborhoods), Policy EP-1.9 (Avoid Conflict of Uses), Policy EP-3.3 (Mitigate Impacts), Policy CN-1.5 (Sensitive Receptor Decisions), Policy CM-.2 (Healthy Neighborhoods), and Policy HE -5.5 (Community Development), which are targeted at correcting past land use planning practices that have placed an unequitable environmental and health burden on certain neighborhoods now termed disadvantaged communities; and 11. The industrial overlay zones in the TZC perpetuate past planning practices of locating industrial uses, or other noxious and unwanted uses, in close proximity to communities of color; and 12. The Logan neighborhood is the oldest Mexican and Mexican -American neighborhood in Santa Ana and one of the oldest in Orange County, and one of the few places where Mexicans and those of Mexican descent were allowed to buy land due to restrictions and covenants based on race during the first half of the 20th century; and 13. The construction of Santa Ana (I-5) Freeway through Santa Ana in the 1950s resulted in many families being displaced through the demolition of single-family homes in the northeastern portion of the Logan neighborhood; and 14. In the 1970s, a proposed expansion of an arterial highway along Civic Center Avenue would have demolished a significant portion, if not all, of the Logan neighborhood; and 15. The Logan and Lacy neighborhoods are within the second and third highest scored census tracts in Santa Ana, each with a composite score of 90 percent or greater, ranking in the 90th percentile or greater of census tracts in the State, and identified as “disadvantaged communities” by the Office of Environmental Health Hazard Assessment (OEHHA) in its CalEnviroScreen model; and 16. Assembly Bill (AB) 686 requires local jurisdictions to take deliberate actions to explicitly address, combat, and relieve disparities to disadvantaged communities, such as Logan and Lacy neighborhoods, resulting from past patterns of segregation, disinvestment, and planning practices; and     City Council 24 – 129 6/3/2025 Ordinance No. NS-XXX Page 45 of 50 17. The updated land use plan in the Land Use Element of the General Plan does not designate any properties within the TZC, including the Logan or Lacy neighborhoods, as industrial; rather, they are designated as varying intensities of District Center or Urban Neighborhood land use designations—both of which are inconsistent with industrial uses; and 18. There are pressing and growing code enforcement complaints stemming from the irreconcilable land use conflicts in the TZC. Specifically, in the Logan and Lacy neighborhoods, the City’s Code Enforcement Division has investigated over 35 commercial and industrial properties in the past twelve months and currently has 16 active open cases that have been issued Notice of Violations and administrative citations for the following types of violations: illegal storage, land use, zoning, property and landscape maintenance, unpermitted work, business license, and certificate of occupancy. The close proximity of active open industrial cases during a short period of time is creating a public nuisance that is draining City resources and that is harming public health, safety, and general welfare of the TZC’s existing and new residential neighborhoods from the concentration of open code enforcement cases nearby; and 19. In the Logan neighborhood, 52 industrial facilities (automotive, warehouse/storage, crematory, towing yards, construction) are presently near sensitive uses monitored by external regulatory agencies such as South Coast AQMD, Orange County Health Care Agency – Certified Unified Program Agencies (OC CUPA), Santa Ana Regional Water Quality Board (SARWQB), Orange County Fire Authority. Industrial facilities have caused significant pollution exposure to disadvantaged communities, including lead risk in soil and housing, diesel particulate matter from idling trucks, toxic release from facilities, traffic impacts, noise pollution, and airborne particulate matter or fine inhalable particles of 2.5 (PM2.5) microns or less in diameter. CalEnviroScreen reports higher environmental effects from active facility cleanup sites, hazardous waste facilities, and solid waste locations. Cumulative health impacts in the area include asthma, cardiovascular disease, and low birth weight, in this overburdened disadvantaged community factored by socioeconomic indicators of poverty, linguistic isolation, housing burden, and education; and 20. In the Lacy neighborhood, 76 industrial facilities (automotive, warehouse/storage, towing yards, construction) are presently near sensitive uses monitored by external regulatory agencies such as South Coast AQMD, Orange County Health Care Agency – Certified Unified Program Agencies (OC CUPA), Santa Ana Regional Water Quality Board (SARWQB), Orange County Fire Authority. Industrial facilities have caused significant pollution onto disadvantaged communities, including lead risk exposure, diesel particulate matter from idling trucks, toxic release from facilities, traffic impacts, noise pollution, vibration     City Council 24 – 130 6/3/2025 Ordinance No. NS-XXX Page 46 of 50 impacts, and airborne particulate matter or fine inhalable particles of 2.5 (PM2.5) microns or less in diameter. CalEnviroScreen reports higher environmental effects from active facility cleanup sites, hazardous waste facilities, and solid waste locations. Cumulative health impacts in the area include asthma, cardiovascular disease, and low birth weight, in this overburdened disadvantaged community factored by socioeconomic indicators of poverty, linguistic isolation, housing burden, and education; and 21. There is a recent surge in residential development activity in the TZC that is exacerbating the irreconcilable land use conflicts between residential and industrial land uses. Examples include the Lacy Crossing residential development with over 100 ownership units d irectly adjacent to existing industrial land uses, for which the City receives regular complaints from residential occupants of disturbances from noise, vibrations, odors, and truck traffic; and the Rafferty mixed-use development with 218 residential units, including 11 onsite units for very- low income households, which is located less than one-fifth of a mile from industrial land uses; and 22. There is a marked increase in the pending and active development applications for industrial land uses in the TZC, including for contractor’s yards, construction debris storage yards, manufacturing operations, expansion of existing industrial businesses, and storage and warehousing operations, stemming from shifting economic demands for goods and services emerging from the Covid-19 pandemic; and 23. The City Council approved a contract with Moore, Iacofano, Goltsman, Inc. (MIG) on October 17, 2023 to ensure the City’s Zoning Code and General Plan are consistent, and to maintain compliance with state law, comprehensive amendments to the Zoning Code are required; and 24. MIG and City staff have conducted extensive community outreach, stakeholder interviews, and reviews of existing zoning-related codes and policies in Santa Ana. These early efforts have indicated that the irreconcilable land use conflicts and land use inconsistencies in the TZC area are among the most pressing topics that must be addressed as part of the comprehensive Zoning Code Update process to protect the health, safety, and welfare of the most vulnerable communities that face the impacts of the land use conflicts within the TZC area. Since adoption of the moratorium and its extension, MIG and City staff have focused the comprehensive update through an initial phase concentrating on amending the TZC; and 25. The policies and implementation actions in the General Plan also require review, study, and possible revision to respond to recent concerns relating to the impacts of these industrial business uses in the TZC; and     City Council 24 – 131 6/3/2025 Ordinance No. NS-XXX Page 47 of 50 26. Given these concerns, the City Council directed that a study be undertaken of the current provisions of the TZC to address industrial business uses and determine whether such uses should be permitted in the zoning district, and if not, proceed with an ordinance amendment to preclude such uses from the district. G. Following said analysis of the City Council points of discussion as iterated above, City staff has prepared ZOA No. 2024-02 to amend and add certain sections to Chapter 41 (Zoning) of the Santa Ana Municipal Code (SAMC), Article XIX. The Transit Zoning Code/Specific Development (SD) No. 84 Zoning District, including the deletion of industrial land uses; amend non - conforming regulations including the addition of an amortization process; amend and add operational standards for allowed uses and non-conforming uses; and delete the Industrial Overlay (I-OZ) zone from text and maps from certain properties within the SD84 Zoning District. H. Amendments to Chapter 41 (Zoning) are necessary to ensure uniform and legally consistent regulations as well as additions to enable the City to implement a regulatory framework that protects the health, safety, and welfare of the City. I. The proposed amendments to the Santa Ana Municipal Code (SAMC) that are the subject of this Ordinance support the objectives and policies of the City’s General Plan and are required to ensure consistency in accordance with Government Code Section 65860. J. Specifically, these amendments to the SAMC timely address current inconsistencies within an area of the City prioritized for addressing EJ. In effect, the amendments are necessary to address numerous policies of the General Plan that the current TZC is found to be inconsistent with, that without such amendments, will continue the path of irreconcilable land use patterns within the TZC. Specifically, these policies include Policy LU-1.1 (Compatible Uses), Policy LU-2.4 (Cost and Benefit of Development), Policy LU-3.8 (Sensitive Receptors), Policy LU-3.9 (Noxious, Hazardous, Dangerous, and Polluting Uses), Policy LU-3.11 (Air Pollution Buffers), Policy LU-4.3 (Sustainable Land Use Strategies), Policy LU-4.6 (Healthy Living Conditions), Policy CM-3.2 (Healthy Neighborhoods), Policy EP-1.9 (Avoid Conflict of Uses), Policy EP-3.3 (Mitigate Impacts), Policy CN-1.5 (Sensitive Receptor Decisions), Policy CM-3.2 (Healthy Neighborhoods), and Policy HE-5.5 (Community Development), which are targeted at correcting past land use planning practices that have placed an unequitable environmental and health burden on certain neighborhoods now termed disadvantaged communities. The proposed amendments support these goals and policies by: 1. Fostering the compatibility between residential and nonresidential land uses within the TZC to enhance livability and promote healthier lifestyles, and improve public health and quality of life;     City Council 24 – 132 6/3/2025 Ordinance No. NS-XXX Page 48 of 50 2. Resolving the development of industrial land uses and sensitive receptors being in close proximity to each other that pose health hazards by eliminating an overlay zone that promulgated continuation of industrial uses without recourse; 3. Improving the health of the existing and future residents of the TZC by regulating the operations of noxious, hazardous, dangerous, and polluting uses by giving priority to the discontinuance or elimination of those uses; 4. Responding to overarching EJ policies to develop and implement land use and zoning strategies to separate existing sensitive uses from heavy industrial facilities and emission sources; 5. Continuing to support the creation of healthy neighborhoods by addressing land use conflicts and incompatible uses through the elimination of the I-OZ zone and associated industrial land use types from the list of allowable land uses within the TZC; 6. Developing and adopting new regulations to address facilities that emit pollution near sensitive receptors within EJ area boundaries, which includes areas of the TZC; 7. Avoiding potential land use conflicts in the future by prohibiting the location of noxious land uses in proximity to sensitive receptors; and 8. Creating a sustainable land use plan for the area that phases out land uses that are causing a substantial drain on City and other public a gency resources in addressing the impacts from irreconcilable land use conflicts in the TZC area. K. Additionally, the proposed amendments implement and/or contribute to achieving the following specific action programs of the General Plan, most particularly directly addressing LU3.3 through the creation of a discontinuance of nonconforming industrial uses through amortization: 1. LU1.1 - Development Code Update. Prepare a comprehensive update to the zoning code to ensure that the City’s zoning regulations align with the General Plan’s goals and policies. 2. LU3.3 - Healthy lifestyles. Collaborate with residents and industry stakeholders to create a program to incentivize and amortize the removal of existing heavy industrial uses adjacent to sensitive uses. 3. CN1.4 - Health risk criteria. Establish criteria for requiring health risk assessments for existing and new industries, including the type of business, thresholds, and scope of assessment. Review existing and establish new regulation to reduce and avoid increased pollution near sensitive receptors within environmental justice area boundaries.     City Council 24 – 133 6/3/2025 Ordinance No. NS-XXX Page 49 of 50 4. CN1.7 - Truck idling. Evaluate strategies to reduce truck idling found or reported in areas with sensitive receptors, with a priority placed on environmental justice areas. 5. CN1.11 - Public education. Augment existing outreach programs to improve public awareness of State, regional and local agencies’ roles and resources to identify, monitor, and address air quality and other environmental hazards in the community. 6. HE5.C – Healthy Neighborhoods Initiatives. Update the City’s zoning code development and operational standards for industrial zones to address incompatibility with adjacent uses, including minimum distance requirements to buffer heavy industrial uses from sensiti ve receptors. Conduct a study to evaluate and establish appropriate minimum distances and landscape buffers between polluting industrial uses from sensitive receptors such as residences. 7. HE44.A – Fair Housing. Ensure all City programs and activities related to housing and community development are administered in a manner that affirmatively furthers fair housing. L. ZOA No. 2024-02 amends and adds certain sections to Chapter 41 (Zoning) of the Santa Ana Municipal Code (SAMC), Article XIX. The Transit Zoning Code/Specific Development (SD) No. 84 Zoning District, including Section 41-2001 (Application of Article), Section 41-2001.5 (Organization), Section 41-2002 (Nonconforming Buildings, Structures and Uses), Section 41-2004 (The Industrial Overlay (I-OZ) Zone), Section 41-2005 (Application for Discretionary Approvals), Section 41-2006 (Zones Established), Section 41-2007 (Uses Permitted) Section 41-2008 (Operational Standards for Permitted Uses), Section 41-2009 (Operational Standards for Nonconforming Industrial Uses), and Section 41-2080 (Definitions). M. On February 24, 2025, the Planning Commission held a duly noticed public hearing to consider this Ordinance, where all interested persons were given an opportunity to be heard, and after closing the public hea ring, continued taking any action on this Ordinance to a special meeting held on March 6, 2025, whereby the Planning Commission recommended approval of the Ordinance to the City Council. N. On April 1, 2025, the City Council held a duly noticed public hearin g to consider this Ordinance, but the item was not heard and was continued to a date certain, May 6, 2025; O. On May 6, 2025, the City Council held a duly noticed public hearing to consider this Ordinance, but the item was not heard and was continued to a date certain, June 3, 2025; and     City Council 24 – 134 6/3/2025 Ordinance No. NS-XXX Page 50 of 50 P. On June 3, 2025, the City Council held a duly noticed public hearing to consider this Ordinance, where all interested persons were given an opportunity to be heard.     City Council 24 – 135 6/3/2025 Ordinance No. NS-XXX Page 1 of 8 ORDINANCE NO. NS-XXXX AMENDMENT APPLICATION (AA) NO. 2024-03 – AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF SANTA ANA AMENDING THE OFFICIAL ZONING MAP OF THE CITY OF SANTA ANA BY REMOVING THE M1 (LIGHT INDUSTRIAL) AND M2 (HEAVY INDUSTRIAL) SUFFIXES FROM CERTAIN PROPERTIES WITHIN THE SD-84 ZONING DISTRICT BOUNDARY THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF SANTA ANA HEREBY ORDAINS AS FOLLOWS: Section 1. The City Council has, by separate action taken on June 3, 2025, adopted an Addendum to the Transit Zoning Code Environmental Impact re port (“EIR”) (State Clearinghouse No. 2006071100), which was certified on June 7, 2010, by the City Council (“Addendum”). The Addendum analyzed the environmental impacts of the actions taken in this Ordinance. Adopting the Addendum satisfied the City Cou ncil’s obligations under the California Environmental Quality Act (“CEQA”) regarding amendments to the Transit Zoning Code and none of the conditions in Public Resources Code section 21166 or State CEQA Guidelines 15162 apply. Thus, no further environmental review is required as adoption of this Ordinance falls within the scope of the adopted Addendum and previously certified EIR. Section 2. The City Council of the City of Santa Ana hereby finds, determines, and declares as follows: A.Chapter 41, Article I, Division 1, Section 41-1 of the Santa Ana Municipal Code provides that “Because of the necessity of segregating the location of residences, businesses, trades and industries; regulating the use of buildings, structures, and land; and regulating the location, height, bulk and size of buildings and structures, the size of yards and open spaces, the City is divided into land-use districts of such number, shape and area as may be considered best suited to carry out these regulations and provide for their enforcement. The regulations are considered necessary in order to: (a)Encourage the most appropriate use of land; (b)Conserve and stabilize property value, (c)Provide adequate open spaces for light and air and to prevent and fight fires, (d)Prevent undue concentration of population, lessen congestion on streets and highways, and (e)Promote the health, safety and general welfare of the people, all as part of the general plan of the City.” Exhibit 3 - Ordinance for Amendment Application (AA) No. 2024-03     City Council 24 – 136 6/3/2025 Ordinance No. NS-XXX Page 2 of 8 Consistent with this purpose, the City of Santa Ana has adopted a zoning map, which has since been amended from time to time. B. On April 19, 2022, the City adopted an Amended General Plan . The Amended General Plan became effective on May 26, 2022 and adopted a new Land Use Plan for the City and established new land use designations and policies for development of the City. C. On April 16, 2024, the City Council passed an Urgency Ordinance to a dopt a 45-day moratorium on the approval, commencement, establishment, relocation, or expansion of industrial uses within the Transit Zoning Code/Specific Development (SD) No. 84 Zoning District (the “Moratorium Ordinance”). The purpose of the Moratorium Ordinance was to immediately protect the public health, safety, and welfare of residents and businesses from incompatible industrial uses that cause a significant pollution burden to adjacent residential neighborhoods within the SD-84 Zoning District. D. On May 7, 2024, the City Council issued and file a Council report to the public, pursuant to Section 65858(d) of the California Government Code, describing the City’s measures to alleviate conditions that led to the adoption of Urgency Interim Ordinance No. NS-3063, on April 16, 2024, regarding a 45-day moratorium on the approval, commencement, establishment, relocation, or expansion of industrial uses within the Transit Zoning Code Specific Development No. 84. E. On May 21, 2024, the City Council adopted an extension of the Moratorium Ordinance for an additional ten (10) months and fifteen (15) days pursuant to California Government Code, Section 65858. The extension was necessary to allow sufficient time for staff to continue with conduct research of appropriate regulations, and coordinate with outside regulatory agencies and City departments to develop appropriate zoning regulation to address the impacts of industrial development in the SD-84 Zoning District. F. After continued research and study, two ordinances h ave been developed that address the impacts from industrial land uses in the SD -84 Zoning District. The ordinances address the following: a. Zoning Ordinance Amendment (ZOA) No. 2024-02 to amend certain provisions of the Santa Ana Municipal Code and amend portions of the Transit Zoning Code/Specific Development (SD) No. 84 Zoning District, including the deletion of industrial land uses; amendment of non - conforming regulations; and, b. Amendment Application (AA) No. 2024-03 to remove the M1 (Light Industrial) and M2 (Heavy Industrial) suffixes from certain properties within the SD-84 Zoning District boundary as designated on the City of Santa Ana Zoning Map.     City Council 24 – 137 6/3/2025 Ordinance No. NS-XXX Page 3 of 8 G. AA No. 2024-03 is consistent with and implements the amendments proposed by ZOA No. 2024-02 by ensuring uniform and legally consistent mapping of the City’s Zoning Districts; and enables the City to implement a regulatory framework that protects the health, safety, and welfare of the City and its residents. H. The proposed amendments to the Zoning Map contained in AA No. 2024- 03 are required to ensure consistency with the City’s General Plan in accordance with California Government Code, Section 65860. I. Adoption of AA No. 2024-03 is consistent with and implements the Amended General Plan. Specifically, it is consistent with the following: The amendments timely address current inconsistencies within an area of the City prioritized for addressing EJ. (a) Policy LU-1.1 (Compatible Uses), (b) Policy LU-2.4 (Cost and Benefit of Development) (c) Policy LU-3.8 (Sensitive Receptors), (d) Policy LU-3.9 (Noxious, Hazardous, Dangerous, and Polluting Uses), (e) Policy LU-3.11 (Air Pollution Buffers), (f) Policy LU-4.3 (Sustainable Land Use Strategies), (g) Policy LU-4.6 (Healthy Living Conditions), (h) Policy CM-3.2 (Healthy Neighborhoods), (i) Policy EP-1.9 (Avoid Conflict of Uses), (j) Policy EP-3.3 (Mitigate Impacts); (k) Policy CN-1.5 (Sensitive Receptor Decisions), (l) Policy CM-3.2 (Healthy Neighborhoods), and (m) Policy HE-5.5 (Community Development) which are targeted at correcting past land use planning practices that have placed an unequitable environmental and health burden on certain neighborhoods now termed disadvantaged communities. The proposed amendments support these goals and policies by: 1. Fostering the compatibility between residential and nonresidential land uses within the TZC to enhance livability and promote healthier lifestyles, and improve public health and quality of life; 2. Resolving the development of industrial land uses and sensitive receptors being in close proximity to each other that pose health hazards by eliminating an overlay zone that promulgated continuation of industrial uses without recourse; 3. Improving the health of the existing and future residents of the TZC by regulating the operations of noxious, hazardous, dangerous, and polluting uses by giving priority to the discontinuance of those uses;     City Council 24 – 138 6/3/2025 Ordinance No. NS-XXX Page 4 of 8 4.

SD-84/Transit Zoning Code (TZC) Moratorium and Ordinance Amendment Frequently Asked Questions This document provides information about the Specific Development No. 84 (SD-84) zoning district, otherwise known as the Transit Zoning Code (TZC), moratorium and the proposed ordinance amendment. Please note, the information provided in this FAQ is for general informational purposes only. Interested parties should review the proposed Moratorium text and the Ordinance text for detailed information and applicability. 1.When does the moratorium expire? The Transit Zoning Code (TZC/ SD-84) is a special zoning district in central Santa Ana designed to create a pedestrian-friendly, transit-oriented community while protecting existing neighborhoods. TZC industrial moratorium began with Ordinance No. NS-3063 on April 16, 2024, as a 45-day urgency measure. The City Council then adopted Ordinance No. NS-3064 on May 21, 2024, extending the moratorium for an additional ten months and fifteen days. The current moratorium will expire on April 15, 2025. 2.Why was the moratorium adopted? The City Council adopted the TZC industrial moratorium on April 16, 2024 to immediately protect public health, safety, and welfare from industrial uses causing significant pollution burden to adjacent residential neighborhoods within the TZC district. The action addressed historical land use conflicts in the Logan and Lacy neighborhoods, where industrial uses have remained, changed ownership, expanded, or intensified despite the area's 2010 transit-oriented zoning designation. CalEnviroScreen 4.0 data confirms these neighborhoods rank at 90 percent or above among California's most pollution-burdened communities, with documented exposure to various environmental hazards. The existing Industrial Overlay Zone (I-OZ) created inconsistencies with the General Plan's mixed-use designations and allowed industrial uses to continue operating near residential areas. 3. What impact does the moratorium have on business permits and future development? The moratorium prohibits the establishment of new, or expansion or intensification of existing, industrial businesses within the TZC. Existing industrial businesses can obtain permits for work that is for routine maintenance, or of a similar nature, that does not result in new, expanded or intensified use. The moratorium does not impact residential, commercial, or mixed-use development in the TZC plan area. 4. How does the proposed permanent ordinance to amend the TZC propose to regulate industrial intensification within the plan area? The ordinance would remove the industrial overlay and remove industrial type uses from the permitted uses table in the TZC. The removal of the overlay and of industrial type uses from the permitted uses table would render all existing industrial businesses within the plan area as nonconforming, thereby prohibiting the expansion of the existing industrial businesses and the establishment of new industrial businesses in the plan area. Moreover, the ordinance would prohibit intensification of nonconforming industrial uses, meaning the businesses would be prohibited from expanding operations that result in more potential impacts. 5.Does this impact commercial businesses or residential uses? The proposed amendments primarily address industrial uses within the TZC district. Commercial businesses that are Exhibit 5 - Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)     City Council 24 – 157 6/3/2025 2 Disclaimer: The information provided in this FAQ is for general informational purposes only and should not be construed as legal advice. compatible with mixed-use and transit-oriented development will continue to be permitted uses in the TZC. The amendments aim to enhance the compatibility between residential areas and neighboring businesses by removing industrial uses that create environmental and health impacts. These changes support the original 2010 TZC vision of creating a transit-supportive, pedestrian-oriented development framework that strengthens the area's mixed-use character while protecting existing residential neighborhoods. The amendments focus on safeguarding the residential communities in the area from industrial impacts while maintaining appropriate commercial activities that serve neighborhood needs. 6. How does this ordinance compare to similar policies in other cities? Most cities, including the City of Santa Ana, regulate nonconforming uses and structures. Several cities also include abatement or amortization processes to further regulate and terminate nonconforming uses and structures to advance overall land use policy direction. A few cities target termination of specific nonconformities, such as adult entertainment, industrial uses, and billboards or other types of signage, or certain types of buildings or structures. The City of National City has a well-established industrial amortization program, reviewing and ranking various businesses to be prioritized for amortization. 7. What are the differences between the M1 and M2 overlay, and how does it impact businesses within each zone? The Industrial Overlay (I-OZ) Zone is currently applied to areas that were zoned M1 (Light Industrial) or M2 (Heavy Industrial) and occupied with an industrial use when the TZC was originally adopted in 2010. As written, this overlay allows the type of land use activity and development permitted by the M1 and M2 zoning districts to continue until such time that the owner chooses to develop to the standards in the new residential and mixed-use zones that were applied to all of the properties within the plan area when the TZC was originally adopted. In order to determine if the M1 or M2 land use activity and development apply to a particular parcel, the I-OZ was further identified on the regulating plan (map) as I-OZ-M1 or I-OZ- M2. 8. Why is the City considering permitting residential on industrial properties? All of the properties within the TZC were assigned zones that permit residential and/or mixed-use development in 2010, when the plan was originally adopted. The proposed ordinance would not change or affect the zones that are already applicable to the properties within the boundary of the TZC. Rather, the proposed ordinance would simply remove the industrial overlay that was applied to certain properties within the plan area that had existing industrial businesses when the plan was adopted in 2010. 9. Why does the proposed ordinance prohibit the conversion of residential land uses or buildings to non-residential uses in the UN-1 and UN-2 zones of the TZC? UN-1 and UN-2 zones are applied to primarily residential areas intended to accommodate a variety of housing types, with some opportunities for live-work, neighborhood serving retail and cafes. The proposed ordinance would prohibit the conversion of residential uses/building to non-residential uses in these areas to strengthen and stabilize the low intensity residential nature of these     City Council 24 – 158 6/3/2025 3 Disclaimer: The information provided in this FAQ is for general informational purposes only and should not be construed as legal advice. neighborhoods, while still allowing some limited neighborhood-serving commercial uses on properties that are already non-residential in nature. 10. How will this ordinance affect businesses that want to sell or transfer ownership to future owners? As proposed, the ordinance will not affect the transferability of nonconforming industrial uses, as defined in the ordinance, to future owners. However, the nonconforming status of a business that meets the definition of a Noxious Use, as defined in the TZC, would lose its nonconforming status when the business ownership changes or if it meets the code enforcement thresholds established in the proposed ordinance. 11. How does the City determine when a business has transferred to new ownership? All businesses operating in commercial locations must obtain a Certificate of Occupancy (COO) from the Planning Division before receiving a business license, while those in residential areas must secure a Home Occupation Permit. A new COO is required whenever a business changes its use, changes ownership, changes location, expands, or changes its name. Businesses that do not apply and obtain a COO may face code enforcement action. 12. What is a nonconforming use? A nonconforming use is a use that was lawful when established but became unlawful due to new or amended ordinances. These uses are sometimes referred to as "grandfathered" uses and are typically allowed to continue without expansion or intensification. The SAMC defines “nonconforming uses” generally as uses initiated before July 20, 1960, or those that were compliant with applicable provisions when established but later became nonconforming due to code changes or public agency property acquisition. 13. What is amortization? Amortization is a tool that provides a reasonable transition period for owners to phase out a nonconforming use. This "grace period" allows owners to recoup their investments before the use must cease, and serves as a lawful equivalent to “just compensation.” Under the proposed ordinance, the City may consider amortizing certain nonconforming industrial uses based on factors enumerated in the ordinance. If the City elects to eliminate a use through amortization, a reasonable amortization period would be determined by an independent hearing officer be based on an individualized assessment. 14. The proposed ordinance references the use of a Hearing Officer for determining amortization periods in cases where the City elects to pursue elimination of a business/use through that mechanism. Who serves as hearing officer and what educational/professional background do they have? Hearing officers typically possess a background in law, urban planning, public administration, or a related field, and are already on retainer by the City of Santa Ana to adjudicate certain code enforcement appeals and other matters. Cities often utilize hearing officers to provide a neutral and impartial forum for dispute resolution, thereby increasing procedural fairness and public trust. Additionally, hearing officers often bring specialized expertise in navigating complex regulatory frameworks, which can streamline the hearing process and lead to more informed decision-making. The proposed ordinance requires that any hearing officer retained for the purposes of administering the amortization provisions must possess land use and legal background.     City Council 24 – 159 6/3/2025 4 Disclaimer: The information provided in this FAQ is for general informational purposes only and should not be construed as legal advice. 15. What industrial businesses would be considered nonconforming if the ordinance were adopted as proposed? The proposed ordinance defines nonconforming industrial use as a use established on any parcel or within any building located within the boundaries of the TZC that is listed in the uses permitted or uses permitted subject to a conditional use permit of the M1 (Light Industrial) or M2 (Heavy Industrial) zoning districts but that are no longer permissible through the proposed amendment. As such, all industrial businesses would be considered nonconforming if the ordinance were adopted as proposed. 16. What are the differences between a nonconforming industrial use and a noxious use? A nonconforming industrial use is a use established on any parcel or within any building located within the boundaries of TZC that is listed in the uses permitted or uses permitted subject to a conditional use permit of the M1 (Light Industrial) or M2 (Heavy Industrial) zoning districts but that are no longer permissible through the proposed amendment. A noxious use, as the term is defined and used in the proposed ordinance, is a nonconforming industrial use that is located within one thousand (1,000) linear feet of a public park, school (K-12) as defined by Section 11362.768 of the Health and Safety Code, or property used or zoned for residential purposes whose primary business operations involve any two or more of the following: 1) Emitting, generating, or discharging of particulate materials; exhausting emissions; or handling, storing emitting or discharging regulated compounds, hazardous materials, chemicals, or substances; 2) Operations that are regulated by and require a permit from a federal, state, or regional agency; 3) Storing, processing, or disposing of listed or hazardous waste; or 4) Operations that are not contained within a fully enclosed building. If an existing industrial business does not meet the criteria included in the definition of a noxious use, then it is considered a nonconforming industrial use. However, if the nonconforming industrial use meets the criteria of noxious use, then the business is also considered a noxious use. 17. How is artisan/craft product – limited production defined in the proposed ordinance? Artisan/craft product - limited production is defined as a specialized commercial facility with a retail-facing operation open to the public. Products are typically made by hand or with a restricted level of automation demonstrating an artistic skill. On-site production of artisan/craft product activities include design, production, processing, printing, assembly, treatment, testing, repair, and packaging, as well as any incidental storage. Typical artisan/craft products include, but are not limited to, electronics, food products, furniture-making, beverages, leather products, clocks and watches, jewelry, clothing/apparel, metal work, furniture and fine woodworking, glass, ceramics, paper and paper products, soaps, perfumes, and lotions, together with ancillary training and/or educational program activities. 18. What adjustments can be made to operational business hours to mitigate noise concerns? The proposed ordinance does not include language modifying noise standards. However, the proposed ordinance does include hours of operation that would apply to nonconforming industrial uses, which would limit noise impacts experienced by residents of the area. The TZC currently requires approval of a conditional use permit (CUP) for any business operating between 12:00 a.m. (midnight) and 7:00 a.m. During the CUP consideration process, the Planning     City Council 24 – 160 6/3/2025 5 Disclaimer: The information provided in this FAQ is for general informational purposes only and should not be construed as legal advice. Commission may approve specific conditions of approval to address individual noise concerns on a per-application basis. 19. Can the City require a CUP and conditions of approval for noise regulation to existing nonconforming industrial businesses as done for late-night establishments? A CUP and conditions of approval cannot be applied retroactively. The TZC currently requires a conditional use permit for late-night operations, and through Planning Commission approval of conditions of approval, noise-generating activities can be addressed on a per-application basis. 20. How were noise level limits determined, and do they align with City standards? There are no proposed modifications to the TZC’s existing noise standards. 21. What standards are proposed to mitigate air contaminants from industrial businesses? The proposed TZC amendments require all operations to be conducted within enclosed buildings, with measures to prevent dust, smoke, and other air contaminants. While businesses must comply with South Coast Air Quality Management District (SCAQMD) permit requirements, it's important to note that regulatory agencies rely on self-reported emissions data rather than independent measurements. The City's standards require enclosed operations, proper materials handling, and controlled loading activities. For specific requirements, please refer to Section 41- 2009 of the proposed ordinance regarding Operational Standards for Nonconforming Industrial Uses. 22. How does truck idling impact the environment, and how can it be controlled? Truck idling releases high levels of nitrogen oxides (NOx) and particulate matter (PM 2.5), contributing to respiratory diseases, cardiovascular illnesses, and increased cancer risks, in accordance with the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA, 2023) and California Air Resources Board (CARB, 2023). While anti-idling laws exist, enforcement by South Coast Air Quality Management District (SCAQMD) is limited due to resource constraints and the requirement for in-person violation confirmation, making stricter enforcement and alternative mitigation strategies essential (SCAQMD, 2024). 23. What role do external agencies play in regulating businesses in this area? Several agencies regulate air and water quality to protect public health and the environment. The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) sets national air quality standards under the Clean Air Act (CAA), while California Air Resources Board (CARB) enforces statewide pollution and emissions regulations. South Coast Air Quality Management District (SCAQMD) oversees regional air quality compliance in Southern California through permitting, monitoring, and enforcement programs. Additionally, the California State Water Resources Control Board (CSWRCB) and its regional boards regulate industrial wastewater discharge and water pollution under the Clean Water Act (CWA) and Porter-Cologne Water Quality Control Act to safeguard water resources. 24. Are these agencies issuing and enforcing permits for air quality and other regulations? Yes, businesses must obtain emissions permits under the Clean Air Act (CAA) and CARB regulations, with periodic reporting required to maintain compliance. However, the City’s experience with these outside agencies shows that enforcement is often limited, as violations must be witnessed     City Council 24 – 161 6/3/2025 6 Disclaimer: The information provided in this FAQ is for general informational purposes only and should not be construed as legal advice. in real time by an inspector, who may take up to three hours to respond, with restricted weekend availability. Additionally, video evidence of violations is not accepted under current policies, making enforcement more challenging. 25. Is there ongoing air quality testing in the TZC? Yes. Air quality monitoring in this area is conducted through multiple agencies. The South Coast Air Quality Management District (SCAQMD) provides regular monitoring and responds to community complaints. The CalEnviroScreen 4.0 data tracks ongoing pollution measurements, confirming these neighborhoods rank in the 90th percentile for pollution burden. The Environmental Protection Agency’s (EPA) environmental justice mapping provides additional air quality monitoring data. 26. How are violations currently tracked, and what code enforcement reports exist? City staff have an internal process established which tracks and monitors incoming notice of compliance and notice of violations given to a particular business/operator from federal, state, or regional regulatory agencies. However, this process is dependent on the collaborative communication with external regulatory agencies’ reports and enforcement, which has been limited. 27. What measurable environmental impacts justify this ordinance? Data from CalEnviroScreen 4.0 ranks the TZC plan area among the top 90 percent of California’s most pollution-impacted areas, with high emissions from toxic releases, traffic, and diesel particulate matter. According to the EPA and CDC, prolonged exposure to these pollutants has led to 58 percent of children suffering from asthma, 84 percent of newborns having low birth weight, and 49 percent of residents experiencing cardiovascular diseases. Additionally, asthma-related emergency room visits in TZC are 117 percent higher than in the nearby city of Tustin (CDHHS, 2019), underscoring the urgent need for stricter air quality regulations. 28. Can the City address environmental concerns in the area without displacing or forcing businesses to relocate/close? The proposed ordinance aims to address the quality-of-life issues experienced by residents in the area through adoption of operating and development standards that would be applicable to industrial businesses, and by establishing a framework for amortization that the City may use for businesses that meet certain factors. Nonconforming industrial uses that comply with all applicable standards, would be permitted to remain in their current location and would not be forced to relocate or close. 29. What programs or alternative solutions exist for impacted businesses? Impacted businesses can continue to operate in their current locations, provided they comply with all applicable operating and development standards. 30. How does this ordinance affect financial factors such as jobs, tax revenue, economic growth? The proposed ordinance amendments do not require any immediate closure of businesses within the affected area. Should individual business owners and property owners elect to modify business operations, cease operations, or redevelop properties with new uses, financial factors would be evaluated on a per-application basis. Therefore, estimating any financial impacts of the proposed ordinance would be speculative.     City Council 24 – 162 6/3/2025 7 Disclaimer: The information provided in this FAQ is for general informational purposes only and should not be construed as legal advice. 31. What steps have been taken to ensure effective community engagement? The City has implemented a community engagement strategy that includes multiple formats and opportunities for participation. Since April 16, 2024, engagement efforts have included a community information meeting at the Santa Ana Train Station; regular in-person meetings at City Hall with business stakeholders and residents, together, with opportunities for discussion; field visits to affected neighborhoods have allowed for direct observation and community input in context; and tours of industrial businesses. The Planning Commission Study Session and subsequent public hearings have and will also offer formal venues for community feedback. Additionally, the City maintains a dedicated project webpage (www.santa-ana.org/transit- zoning-code-update/) that provides regular updates, meeting materials, and upcoming engagement opportunities, as well as contact information for project staff. Additional outreach has included neighborhood-specific sessions with Lacy and Logan residents, one-on-one consultations, direct email communications, phone calls, and coordination through the Environmental Justice Action Committee. 32. How does this ordinance promote common ground among stakeholders? The City ensured business owners and residents were informed about the meetings through door-to-door canvassing by City staff, as well as announcements on the City’s website, NextDoor, Neighborhood Initiatives and Environmental Services’ (NIES) Mailer, and the NIES Newsletter. These efforts facilitated open communication and engagement, fostering collaboration among stakeholders. 33. How can the public be involved in the process? The public can participate through multiple channels. Community members can attend public hearings and Planning Commission meetings, visit the project webpage at www.santa-ana.org/transit-zoning-code-update/ for current information and updates, and contact the Planning Division directly with questions or concerns. The City continues to hold focused community meetings and maintains open communication with residents, business owners, and stakeholders throughout this process. 34. What additional outreach efforts should be made before implementation? The City has established robust interdepartmental and interagency coordination to support implementation. The City maintain active collaboration with Orange County Fire Authority (OCFA) regarding safety compliance and emergency response planning, and the South Coast Air Quality Management District (SCAQMD) for technical guidance on air quality monitoring and compliance. Internal coordination continues between City departments including the Planning Division, Code Enforcement Division, Santa Ana Police Department, and the Public Works Agency to ensure comprehensive implementation oversight. The City's Neighborhood Initiatives and Environmental Services team coordinates with federal and state agencies including CalEPA's Environmental Justice Team and the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) to identify additional resources and support for affected communities. The Environmental Justice Action Committee, comprising residents, community organizations, and agency representatives, helps guide implementation priorities. Given these established partnerships and communication channels, the City is prepared to move forward with implementation while maintaining these collaborative relationships to ensure effective oversight and responsive community support.     City Council 24 – 163 6/3/2025 8 Disclaimer: The information provided in this FAQ is for general informational purposes only and should not be construed as legal advice. 35. How does the TZC compare to the West Santa Ana Boulevard Focus Area? The TZC area and West Santa Ana Boulevard Focus Area have fundamentally different General Plan land use designations and regulatory frameworks. The TZC was established in 2010 with mixed-use General Plan designations throughout, but retained an Industrial Overlay Zone (I-OZ) that allowed industrial uses to continue, creating inconsistencies. The West Santa Ana Boulevard Focus Area has its own distinct General Plan designations and does not have an industrial overlay. The proposed ordinance would remove the TZC's Industrial Overlay Zone, bringing its zoning into alignment with its mixed-use General Plan designations and supporting the area's intended transit-oriented, pedestrian-friendly development pattern. 36. Will this process be applied to other parts of the City? The proposed ordinance amendments will only affect the area zoned as the Transit Zoning Code (SD-84). The City is also underway with a comprehensive Zoning Code Update, which is a separate and ongoing effort to update and modernize the City’s Zoning Code to reflect the goals and values of the General Plan Update from 2022. 37. What type of environmental document pursuant to the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) will be prepared for this project? The City, as the Lead Agency, has determined that the proposed ordinance and map amendment are subject to CEQA guidelines and regulations (Public Resources Code (PRC) Sections 21000-21177). An Addendum to the Transit Zoning Code Environmental Impact Report (EIR) (State Clearing House (SCH) No. 2006071100) has been prepared by the City to evaluate the impacts of the proposed ordinance amendments.     City Council 24 – 164 6/3/2025 Planning and Building Agency www.santa-ana.org/pb Item # 1 City of Santa Ana 20 Civic Center Plaza, Santa Ana, CA 92701 Planning Commission Staff Report February 24, 2025 Topic: Resolution to make findings and adopt Addendum to the Transit Zoning Code Environmental Impact Report (State Clearinghouse Number No. 2006071100), Zoning Ordinance Amendment (ZOA) No. 2024-02 and Amendment Application (AA) No. 2024- 03 amending certain sections of Article XIX (The Transit Zoning Code, Specific Development No. 84) of Chapter 41 (Zoning) of the Santa Ana Municipal Code (SAMC) addressing industrial land uses, nonconformities, and operating standards, and amending the City of Santa Ana Zoning Map to remove the Light Industrial (M1) and Heavy Industrial (M2) suffixes from certain properties within the SD-84 district boundary. RECOMMENDED ACTIONS Recommend that the Planning Commission recommend that the City Council: 1) Adopt a resolution to make findings pursuant to Public Resources Code Section 21166 and to adopt the Addendum to the Transit Zoning Code Environmental Impact Report (State Clearinghouse Number No. 2006071100). Pursuant to the California Environment Quality Act (CEQA), and based on independent review and analysis, and the administrative record as a whole, that, in exercising its independent judgement, amend TZC SD-84 Final EIR with an addendum that the City Council find that pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Section 15162, no subsequent Environmental Impact Report (EIR) is required for the adoption of the proposed Ordinances; and pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Section 15164, an addendum to the Transit Zoning Code EIR was accordingly prepared. 2) Adopt an ordinance to approve Zoning Ordinance Amendment (ZOA) No. 2024-02 amending certain sections of Article XIX (The Transit Zoning Code, Specific Development No. 84 (SD-84)) of Chapter 41 (Zoning) of the Santa Ana Municipal Code including amendments to the regulations, overlay districts and maps in the zoning district; modifying the authorized land uses and permit types; establishing revised non-conforming use regulations, including the addition of an amortization/termination of use process and adding operational standards for certain permitted and non-conforming uses. 3) Adopt an ordinance to approve Amendment Application (AA) No. 2024-03 amending the zoning by removing the M1 (Light Industrial) and M2 (Heavy Industrial) suffixes from certain properties within the SD-84 zoning district boundary as designated on the City of Santa Ana Zoning Map. Exhibit 6 - February 24, 2025 Planning Commission Staff Report and Exhibits     City Council 24 – 165 6/3/2025 ZOA No. 2024-02 & AA No. 2024-03 (Transit Zoning Code Amendments) February 24, 2025 Page 2 3 3 6 7 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY On April 16, 2024, the City Council adopted a 45-day moratorium on the approval, commencement, establishment, relocation, or expansion of industrial uses within the Transit Zoning Code/Specific Development (SD) No. 84 Zoning District through adoption of Urgency Interim Ordinance No. NS-3063. The purpose of the moratorium was to immediately offer protection of public health, safety, and welfare from industrial uses significantly causing pollution burden to adjacent residential neighborhoods within the SD- 84 Zoning District. On May 7, 2024, the City Council issued a report to the public, pursuant to Section 65858(d) of the California Government Code, describing the City’s measures to alleviate conditions that led to the adoption of the moratorium. On May 21, 2024, the City Council adopted Ordinance No. NS-3064 to extend the moratorium for an additional ten (10) months and fifteen (15) days pursuant to the Government Code as necessary to provide sufficient time for staff to continue with data tracking and reporting, research appropriate regulations, and coordinate with outside regulatory agencies and City departments to determine whether further, permanent action is necessary and to generate recommendations to the Planning Commission and City Council. Based upon this City Council direction, and the research and analysis of the issues herein, staff has prepared Ordinances amending certain sections of Chapter 41 (Zoning) of the Santa Ana Municipal Code (SAMC), Article XIX. The Transit Zoning Code/Specific Development (SD) No. 84 Zoning District. The first Ordinance proposes amendments that would modify the list of land uses and permit types, including the deletion of industrial land uses; amend nonconforming regulations, including the addition of an amortization process/termination of use process; amend and add operational standards for allowed uses and nonconforming uses; and delete the Industrial Overlay (I-OZ) zone from text and maps. The second Ordinance deletes the M1 (Light Industrial) and M2 (Heavy Industrial) suffixes from certain properties within the SD-84 Zoning District boundary as designated on the City of Santa Ana Zoning Map. DISCUSSION The Transit Zoning Code/Specific Development No. 84 The Specific Development (SD) No. 84 Zoning District, also known as the Transit Zoning Code (TZC), is located in the central urban core of the City and comprises over 100 blocks and 450 acres. The TZC includes the Civic Center, Downtown, and the Logan and Lacy neighborhoods, which are among the City’s most historic in age and as established residential communities. The TZC is generally bounded by First Street, Flower Street, Civic Center Drive, Grand Avenue, and the Santa Ana (I-5) Freeway. Prior to the implementation of the TZC, the area consisted of a wide range of civic, commercial, industrial, and residential land uses regulated by varying zoning districts. In June 2010, the City Council adopted Ordinance No. NS-2804, creating the TZC, which purpose was to establish a transit-supportive, pedestrian-oriented development framework to support the addition of new transit infrastructure; preserve and reinforce the         City Council 24 – 166 6/3/2025 ZOA No. 2024-02 & AA No. 2024-03 (Transit Zoning Code Amendments) February 24, 2025 Page 3 3 3 6 7 existing character and pedestrian nature of the City by strengthening urban form through improved development and design standards; encourage alternative modes of transportation; provide for a range of housing options; and allow for the reuse of existing structures. In July 2019, the City Council adopted Ordinance No. NS-2970, amending the TZC to modify certain design criteria regulating height, massing, open space location, driveway standards, lot dimensions, and parking alternatives. The amendment did not include changes to land uses or permit types within the TZC. When originally adopted, the TZC provided new zoning for all properties contained within its boundary. However, some properties with existing M1 and M2 zoning and/or exiting industrial businesses, also received an overlay district designation which allowed for the continuation of industrial land uses on those properties. The development of mixed-use on these properties consistent with the new zoning they received as part of the TZC adoption is at the discretion of the property owner. In support of the TZC, the City Council also approved a General Plan amendment, establishing numerous mixed-use General Plan land use designations for the entirety of the TZC. However, due to the continued application of the industrial overlay zones within the TZC, the implementation of the new General Plan land use designations immediately resulted in zoning inconsistencies and land use conflicts with the new General Plan. Since establishment of the TZC, and specifically in the Logan and Lacy neighborhoods, industrial uses have remained, changed ownership, undergone expansions or intensifications, and have continued to create numerous land use conflicts and disturbances that affect surrounding residential communities. Specifically, in the Logan neighborhood alone, these land uses create quality of life, health and safety, and other trespass issues for residential properties that often directly abut these industrial land uses. These issues include odors, dust, traffic, noise, vibrations, and other documented impacts that have taken place for nearly a decade and a half despite the change to the new General Plan land use designations. Historically Disadvantaged Communities and Senate Bill (SB) 1000 Prior to the adoption of the TZC, the City permitted industrial uses within the Logan and Lacy neighborhoods in close proximity to sensitive land uses such as residences and schools. The Logan neighborhood represents one of Orange County’s oldest barrios, established as early as 1886, and was one of the few areas where Mexicans and those of Mexican descent could purchase land due to racially restrictive covenants during the first half of the 20th century. Further, as a neighborhood, the area was established before the modern practice of separating or regulating impactful land uses, also known as zoning. The Logan neighborhood itself was largely settled by 1900, before the practice of zoning was enshrined by Village of Euclid v. Ambler Realty Co. in 1926. By that time, the neighborhood contained a mix of residential, industrial, commercial, and related land uses, in some cases side-by-side, with issues further exacerbated by rail lines, fuel storage depots, and the construction of the Santa Ana Freeway (I-5) between 1947 and 1956.         City Council 24 – 167 6/3/2025 ZOA No. 2024-02 & AA No. 2024-03 (Transit Zoning Code Amendments) February 24, 2025 Page 4 3 3 6 7 Comprehensive data analysis and mapping tools generated by the Office of Environmental Health Hazard Assessment (OEHHA) and California Environmental Protection Agency (CalEPA), the Center for Diseases Control/Agency for Toxic Substances and Disease Registry (CDC/ATSDR), the United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), and California Healthy Places Index (HPI) reveal concerning information regarding environmental conditions impacting residents in the Logan and Lacy neighborhoods. Recent CalEnviroScreen 4.0 data confirms that these neighborhoods rank at 90 percent or above among California’s most pollution-burdened communities, with Environmental Justice (EJ) maps showing higher exposure to Particulate Matter (PM) 2.5, Air Toxics Cancer Risk, Hazardous Waste Proximity, Diesel Particulate Matter, and Toxic Releases to Air. This information is included as Exhibit 4 to this staff report. These multiple sources of environmental exposure and pollution burden communities of color, including the Logan and Lacy neighborhoods, present an alarming set of challenges that affect residents’ quality of life and life expectancy with continued heavy industrial uses nearby. Senate Bill (SB) 1000 went into effect in 2016, requiring local governments to address pollution and other hazards that disproportionately impact low-income and communities of color within their jurisdiction to proactively plan for and address environmental concerns when developing and updating components of the General Plan. The City and community worked to ensure that the new General Plan included SB 1000 requirements of addressing EJ through facilitating transparency and public engagement in the planning and decision-making processes, reducing harmful pollutants and the associated health risks in disadvantaged communities, and promoting equitable access to health-inducing benefits such as healthy housing options. Of note, the City’s new General Plan mixed- use land use designations in the TZC area were largely left intact, including those in the Lacy and Logan neighborhoods, when the General Plan Update was adopted in 2022. Environmental Justice/Disadvantaged Communities (DACs) Profile: Logan and Lacy Neighborhood Impacts For the Logan and Lacy neighborhoods, incompatible land uses allowed from past zoning decisions, including the industrial overlay zones, have perpetuated the practices of locating industrial uses or other noxious and unwanted uses near communities of color. The Logan and Lacy neighborhoods have a population of 5,907 within 1,564 households, a median household income of $56,864, average household size of nearly four persons, median age 27 years, and per-capita income of $23,495. Seventy-four percent are renter- occupied units based on demographic forecasts for 2023. Nearly 25 percent of the population is under 14 years of age and 14 percent are 55 years of age and older. Nearly three percent of the population attended up to 12th grade with no diploma, over 31 percent         City Council 24 – 168 6/3/2025 ZOA No. 2024-02 & AA No. 2024-03 (Transit Zoning Code Amendments) February 24, 2025 Page 5 3 3 6 7 are high school graduates, and nearly 97 percent of the working population over 16 years of age are employed.1 These data illustrate that the Logan and Lacy neighborhoods are within the second and third highest scored census tracts in Santa Ana, each with a composite score of 90 percent or greater, ranking in the 90th percentile or greater of census tracts in the State, and identified as “disadvantaged communities” by the Office of Environmental Health Hazard Assessment (OEHHA) in its CalEnviroScreen model. Failure to address ongoing irreconcilable land use conflicts that are the target of this moratorium will further exacerbate the ongoing demographic and environmental justice challenges that these two neighborhoods within the TZC have grappled with since their founding. Code Enforcement and Immediate Ongoing Issues In the Logan and Lacy neighborhoods within the TZC, the Code Enforcement Division has investigated over 35 commercial and industrial properties in the past 12 months and currently has 16 active open cases that have been issued Notice of Violations and administrative citations for the following types of violations: illegal storage, land use, zoning, property and landscape maintenance, unpermitted work, business license, and certificate of occupancy. These violations include issues of odors, dust, traffic, noise, vibrations, and other documented impacts. The proximity of active open industrial cases during a short period is creating a public nuisance that is harming public health, safety, and general welfare of the two residential neighborhoods from the concentration of open code enforcement cases nearby. Since June 2023, the TZC communities have experienced a marked increase in impacts stemming from the irreconcilable industrial and residential land use conflicts in the Logan and Lacy neighborhoods. Residents in the TZC have voiced and emailed complaints and public health concerns to City staff regarding emitted contaminants and zoning violations from industrial businesses in the neighborhoods. Concerns that range from air pollution and smoke, toxic release exposures, idling trucks on residential streets, lead exposure, illegal storage, unpermitted uses, loud noise at night, and other property maintenance pose an immediate public health threat that is straining public resources to continuously investigate and address these matters. Specifically, a fire incident at a crematory located in the neighborhood alarmed neighbors at 9:18 p.m. on August 29, 2023. Residents shared with City officials’ video of high flames escaping the stack on the rooftop, screeching noise that continued nonstop for ten minutes, and what was described as a foul odor attributed to the fire. As City staff followed up with external regulatory agencies issuing permits to operate this facility, and quickly, staff observed the limitations from regulatory agencies and their compartmentalized processes to investigate and act on enforcement measures. On August 9, 2024, the City received a complaint with photos of 1 ESRI Community Analyst summary data, which utilizes U.S. Census Bureau sources (2017-2021 American Community Survey & 2020 Decennial Census Data), enhanced by ESRI’s forecasts and aggregations, covering demographics like population, income, age, and employment.         City Council 24 – 169 6/3/2025 ZOA No. 2024-02 & AA No. 2024-03 (Transit Zoning Code Amendments) February 24, 2025 Page 6 3 3 6 7 the the same crematory in which the complainant observed bodies stored in a container outside the facility. A City code enforcement inspector issued an abatement notice that same day; the bodies and container were removed and the case was closed on August 13, 2024 by code enforcement staff. Since 2022, the City has enhanced community services by restructuring its Planning Division to contain a Neighborhood Initiatives and Environmental Services (NIES) section, which oversees, among other functions, environmental justice efforts in Santa Ana and regional coordination to address such issues. Staff encountered difficulty in achieving desired enforcement outcomes with external regulatory agencies such as South Coast Air Quality Management District (SCAQMD), California Department of Consumer Affairs Cemetery and Funeral Bureau (CFB), and Orange County Fire Authority (OCFA) with several heavy industrial business operators in the TZC. This is supported through internal correspondence and phone conversations with staff from these agencies to understand their investigation and compliance processes. To address issues of industrial operators, including recycling and waste processing facilities near schools and residential areas, the City adopted new regulations such as a Noxious Uses Ordinance (Ordinance No. NS- 3044, adopted June 20, 2023) to include a notification requirement to the City by the property owner to obtain a permit from a regulatory public agency; a requirement of a 1,000 linear foot distance buffer measured from the outermost boundary of the subject property; and a conditional use permit requirement from a regulatory public agency to handle, store, emit, or discharge particulate materials, exhaust emissions, or regulated compounds, or chemicals near a public park, school (K-12), or property zoned for residential purposes. City staff have also researched commercial real estate acquisition data and current for- sale properties to identify any trends that could potentially generate an increase in the application of the City’s Noxious Uses Ordinance for proposed or expanded industrial uses. From September 2022 to date, 15 properties (six commercial, three office, and six industrial businesses) sold. Three of those businesses (800-808 E. Washington Avenue, 1045 N. Fuller Street, and 923 N. Logan Street) are located in the Logan neighborhood. Currently, multi-tenant industrial and manufacturing warehouse spaces on the market for lease located in the TZC. Recent City Council Actions and Direction to Address TZC Land Use Conflicts On April 16, 2024, the City Council adopted a 45-day moratorium on the approval, commencement, establishment, relocation, or expansion of industrial uses within the TZC through adoption of Urgency Interim Ordinance No. NS-3063. The purpose of the moratorium was to immediately offer protection of public health, safety, and welfare from industrial uses significantly causing pollution burden to adjacent residential neighborhoods within the TZC. On May 7, 2024, the City Council issued a report to the public, pursuant to Section 65858(d) of the California Government Code, describing the City’s measures to alleviate conditions that led to the adoption of the moratorium.         City Council 24 – 170 6/3/2025 ZOA No. 2024-02 & AA No. 2024-03 (Transit Zoning Code Amendments) February 24, 2025 Page 7 3 3 6 7 On May 21, 2024, the City Council adopted Ordinance No. NS-3064 to extend the moratorium for an additional ten (10) months and fifteen (15) days pursuant to the Government Code as necessary to provide sufficient time for staff to continue with data tracking and reporting, research appropriate regulations, and coordinate with outside regulatory agencies and City departments to determine whether further, permanent action is necessary and to generate recommendations to the Planning Commission and City Council. As part of its approval, the City Council expressed a desire for City staff to begin evaluating permanent solutions to the irreconcilable land use conflicts in the TZC area in as timely a manner as possible, which resulted in immediate evaluation of the zoning code text and map amendments consistent with direction provided for City Council consideration as part of this request. Review of City Department Activities Immediately following the adoption of the Moratorium, City staff conducted an interagency meeting that included representatives from multiple City departments: the Planning Division, Building Safety Division, Code Enforcement Division, Business License, and Information Technology. Additionally, engagement with additional agencies such as the Santa Ana Police Department (SAPD), Public Works Agency, and the Community Development Agency’s Economic Development Division has produced critical information illustrating the extent to which industrial activities interface with residential land uses in the TZC area, specifically and most concentrated in the Logan and Lacy neighborhoods. Data based on Business License and Economic Development records indicate that application of the moratorium affects approximately 127 industrial businesses in the TZC. All businesses must obtain appropriate permits before operating: commercial locations require a Certificate of Occupancy from the Planning Department, while residential-based operations need a Home Occupation Permit. Of the affected businesses, approximately three have active applications for permits, primarily seeking to legalize unpermitted work on industrial properties. City staff reviewed public safety data from SAPD and OCFA to assess community concerns regarding emergency responses in the TZC. SAPD records show a total of 18,736 calls for service between March 2023 and July 2024, with 226 of those occurring between April and July 2024 within the Logan and Lacy neighborhoods. These calls encompassed a wide range of incidents, including patrol checks, disturbances, and traffic- related issues. Notably, 1,909 calls involved collisions, vehicle impoundments, domestic violence, and SAMC violations. OCFA data from 2022 to August 2024 indicates 238 calls for advanced life support emergencies. In 2022, 29 calls were related to respiratory issues, chest pain, and cardiac arrest, with a subsequent 7-percent increase in health- related calls in 2023. While the data reflects a broad spectrum of emergency responses, the concentration of industrial businesses in the TZC raises the possibility that some of these calls, particularly those related to respiratory issues and traffic incidents, may be influenced by industrial operations. Further analysis is needed to determine the specific correlation between industrial activity and public safety concerns in the area.         City Council 24 – 171 6/3/2025 ZOA No. 2024-02 & AA No. 2024-03 (Transit Zoning Code Amendments) February 24, 2025 Page 8 3 3 6 7 OCFA data for 2024 reported 312 service calls in the Logan and Lacy neighborhoods. A substantial majority, exceeding 250, were EMS-related, indicating a high demand for emergency medical services. Other incidents included traffic and pedestrian accidents, fire responses (including unauthorized burning and a brush fire), and alarm activations. Some calls were cancelled or resulted in 'no incident found,' suggesting potential areas for improved dispatch accuracy. The volume and variety of these calls highlight the impact of the area's mixed land use, where dense residential areas, commercial activity, and industrial operations contribute to a wide range of emergency response needs. Currently, City staff have an internal process established which tracks and monitors incoming notice of compliance and notice of violations given to a particular business/operator. City Code Enforcement activities and implementation of the City’s Noxious Uses Ordinance continue being monitored at these facilities. Code Enforcement staff data reports show enforcement activity beyond the Logan and Lacy neighborhoods within the TZC, where at the time of adoption of the moratorium, 16 active open cases were issued Notice of Violations and administrative citations for the following types of violations: illegal storage, land use, zoning, property and landscape maintenance, unpermitted work, business license, and certificate of occupancy. Such violations include issues of odors, dust, traffic, noise, vibrations, and other documented impacts. Recent code enforcement complaints on properties in the Logan neighborhood involve complaints for recurring unpermitted work and land use violations that involve large commercial vehicles blocking street access and impacting nearby residents. Code Enforcement Division follow-up has resulted in larger administrative citations, continued enforcement, and onsite meetings with business owners. Currently, 21 open code enforcement violations or compliance reviews from industrial businesses are recorded with the City of Santa Ana, underscoring the need for close monitoring within the TZC area. The profile highlights the critical role of regulatory agencies in overseeing these businesses to mitigate potential environmental and public health risks. Review of Records and Activities of External Agencies Data from outside regulatory agencies assist City staff in further understanding activities between external regulatory agencies and industrial businesses that may place additional impacts on public health, safety, and welfare in affected neighborhoods adjacent to industrial businesses in the TZC. This information would enable City staff to understand the correlation and environmental burdens that may be attributed to permitted activities for industrial businesses in historically environmentally disadvantaged communities, specifically the Logan and Lacy neighborhoods. On April 25, 2024, City staff initiated public records requests from outside regulatory agencies, such as the South Coast Air Quality Monitoring District (SCAQMD), Santa Ana Regional Water Quality Control Board (SARWQCB), the Department of Toxic Substances Control (DTSC), and others responsible for issuing specific types of permits for industrial uses in the TZC. Such agencies are responsible for permit issuance, compliance activities,         City Council 24 – 172 6/3/2025 ZOA No. 2024-02 & AA No. 2024-03 (Transit Zoning Code Amendments) February 24, 2025 Page 9 3 3 6 7 and/or monitoring hazardous clean-up sites, or other industrial facility-related activities for sites located within the TZC. The City has responses to its Public Records Act request from SCAQMD, the Santa Ana Regional Water Quality Control Board (SARWQB), and the Orange County Environmental Health Division Certified Unified Program Agency (CUPA). Records show SCAQMD issued two notices to comply with one industrial business on August 2023 and April 2024 for failure to maintain records, such as temperature graphs, poundage logs, and source test data. SCAQMD issued several permits to construct and to operate to the new operator of this same facility, which is currently in compliance with SCAQMD. Two notices of violation to one industrial business for operating a paint spray booth without a valid permit to operate from SCAQMD. The report from the SARWQCB from 2023 shows five (5) active industrial businesses in the TZC that were in violation of their permit for providing a late report or incomplete and/or insufficient information for their Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan (SPPP). Public records from the Certified Unified Program Agency (CUPA) for Orange County, spanning 2022-2024, reveal a pattern of non-compliance with environmental and hazardous materials regulations among industrial businesses within the TZC. While some 2023 violations related to Hazardous Material Business Plan staff training and reporting were later corrected, current records indicate four businesses still have multiple open violations. These ongoing issues include non-compliance with documentation for hazardous waste transportation and disposal, as well as deficiencies in industrial stormwater reporting requirements. Notably, records from 2022-2024 show repeated failures to submit required stormwater reports and deficiencies in hazardous waste management and emergency response planning, including missing documentation and training. These violations highlight potential risks to public health and the environment. The proposed amendments for the TZC aim to strengthen the City's land use regulatory oversight, providing a necessary tool to address these deficiencies and safeguard the health, safety, and welfare of the TZC community. Air emission complaints continue to be reported to SCAQMD. These complaints included one involving black smoke and another regarding unpermitted soil vapor extraction equipment onsite. SCAQMD staff has clarified that for air quality complaints they receive, their inspector is required to be physically present to observe the activity from the facility described in the complaint to determine if the complaint warrants further investigation or enforcement action in accordance with SCAQMD Rules 401 (Visible Emissions), 402 (Public Nuisance), and 403 (Fugitive Dust). Therefore, although community members continue to share concerns with City and SCAQMD staff, the turnaround time for an SCAQMD inspector to be physically present at an SCAQMD-permitted facility to investigate an air quality complaint, especially if a complaint is reported after working hours or on weekends, is ineffective in addressing the immediate needs of the community.         City Council 24 – 173 6/3/2025 ZOA No. 2024-02 & AA No. 2024-03 (Transit Zoning Code Amendments) February 24, 2025 Page 10 3 3 6 7 Public Outreach Following City Council's extension of the SD-84 TZC Moratorium on May 21, 2024, the Planning and Building Agency has been developing proposed regulations for the TZC district, encompassing the Downtown, Lacy, and Logan neighborhoods. This effort includes updates to permitted uses (including the removal of industrial uses), operational standards, non-conforming use regulations (including a new amortization process), and reflects ongoing input from affected business owners, residents, community stakeholders, and industrial/commercial brokers gathered since July 2024, including a Community Information Meeting on October 22, 2024, and culminating in a series of meetings through February 20, 2025. The draft amendments to the TZC were released to the public on January 15, 2025, and were made available on the City’s Moratorium webpage. These amendments address the permitted uses table, nonconforming regulations, amortization, and operational standards, and are designed to prepare for the TZC Moratorium's expiration on April 15, 2025. Staff met with business owners and brokers on January 30, 2025, to discuss the draft regulations and met with the Lacy and Logan neighborhoods meeting on February 19, 2025, and again with a focus group of industrial businesses on February 20, 2025. Staff have continued to update the TZC (SD-84) Moratorium project webpage with additional updates, including the Study Session and Public Hearing Notice and recent Planning Commission’s Study Session PowerPoint presentation. City staff have also prepared two Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) documents to clarify information regarding the Moratorium, affected businesses, the proposed zoning amendments, legal concerns, community engagement, and opportunities to participate in the public hearing process. The first FAQ became available prior to the City’s project informational meeting on October 22, 2024, and the second FAQ is included with this staff report (Exhibit 5). Current Code and Proposed Amendments to Text, Figures and Maps Based upon the City Council’s actions and direction enacting the moratorium combined with the research and analysis of the issues herein, staff has prepared the proposed zoning ordinance (ZOA No. 2024-02) and zoning map (AA No. 2024-03) amendments. The proposed amendments would modify the list of land uses and permit types including the deletion of industrial land uses; amend nonconforming regulations including the addition of an amortization/termination of use process; amend and add operational standards for allowed uses and nonconforming uses; delete the Industrial Overlay (I-OZ) zone from text and maps; and delete the M1 (Light Industrial) and M2 (Heavy Industrial) suffixes from certain properties within the TZC boundary as designated on the City of Santa Ana Zoning Map.         City Council 24 – 174 6/3/2025 ZOA No. 2024-02 & AA No. 2024-03 (Transit Zoning Code Amendments) February 24, 2025 Page 11 3 3 6 7 Table 1: ZOA No. 2024-02 Current and Proposed Text Regulations Code Section Title Existing Zoning Code Regulations Proposed Zoning Code Regulations Application of Article SAMC Section 41-2001 establishes the land uses and standards applicable to the TZC - primarily for new uses. The update to text of this Section clarifies that the regulations apply to existing uses, whether conforming or nonconforming, change in land use or tenancy requiring issuance of Certificate of Occupancy. Organization SAMC Section 41-2001.5 establishes the contents and organization of the TZC regulations The update to the text is necessary to encompass the new Section 41-2009 (Operational Standards for Nonconforming Industrial Uses). Nonconforming Buildings, Structures and Uses SAMC Section 41-2002 establishes the regulations for nonconforming buildings, structures or uses within the TZC boundary. The provisions contain minimal limits for rehabilitation of buildings and structures and their expansion for both residential and non- residential uses. The update to text of this Section will further limit some rehabilitation of buildings and structures, with specific emphasis on nonconforming industrial uses. These updated provisions include: •Requiring rehabilitation or expansion of buildings and structures, occupied by any nonconforming use to comply with the new operational standards contained in Section 41-2009. •Prohibits expansion of a building or structure occupied by a nonconforming industrial use. •Discontinuation of nonconforming noxious uses through amortization. •Elimination of certain nonconforming uses and structures •Establishes a process for enacting amortization periods for eliminating certain nonconforming uses. •References to SAMC and State law for abatement of public nuisances. •Establishes authority for voluntary compliance agreements between the City and nonconforming uses. The Industrial Overlay (I-OZ) Zone SAMC Section 41-2004 establishes an overlay zone applied to M1 and M2 zoned properties located within the TZC boundary. Section 41-2004 is deleted in its entirety, removing the I-OZ Zone from the TZC to eliminate industrial land use type zoning altogether. Application for Discretionary Approvals SAMC Section 41-2005 establishes the process and timing of vesting for certain uses approved with a discretionary permit. Section 41-2005 is renumbered as 41- 2004, and the update to the text of this Section adds clarification for effects of the amendments to the TZC dependent upon status of an application in the City process of review, approval, and/or building permit issuance, if required.         City Council 24 – 175 6/3/2025 ZOA No. 2024-02 & AA No. 2024-03 (Transit Zoning Code Amendments) February 24, 2025 Page 12 3 3 6 7 Code Section Title Existing Zoning Code Regulations Proposed Zoning Code Regulations Zones Established SAMC Section 41-2006 contains the regulations for zoning districts, land uses, and permit types within the TZC. The update to the text of this Section deletes the I-OZ Zone, including replacing Figure 2.1, the Regulating Plan (map) with a new Figure 2.1 removing the I-OZ Zone designation from all parcels within the TZC boundary. Uses Permitted SAMC Section 41-2007 provides the allowable land uses and permit types required to establish a land use by each zoning district within the TZC. The update to the text of this Section clarifies application of the use standards by zoning district as follows: •Modifies Table 2A containing the Use Standards by adding and reclassifying certain land use types appropriate to the TZC land use subcategories •Deletes certain land use types that are inconsistent with the intent and purpose of the TZC, including the deletion of the Small-Scale Industry land use subcategory in its entirety. Operational Standards SAMC Section 41-2008 primarily regulates new uses within the TZC. The update to the text of this Section further limits certain operations to ensure greater compatibility between residential and non-residential land uses. Operational Standards for Nonconforming Industrial Uses SAMC Section 41-2009 is an entirely new set of regulations specific to existing nonconforming industrial uses within the TZC. The new Section establishes regulations for operation of any existing, legally established, nonconforming industrial use. The regulations cover general standards, enclosed operations, air emissions and dust, light, glare, and heat, ground vibration, outdoor storage and screening, hazardous materials, liquid and solid waste, site maintenance, truck parking and loading, and hours of operation. Definitions SAMC Section 41-2080 contains the definitions applicable to terms and land uses of the TZC. The update to the text of this Section provides clarification for certain land use types (artisan/craft product with limited on-site production, commercial recreation facility – indoor, and research and development), adds definitions for land use types (automobile repair, automobile service, business support services, craft and specialized automotive restoration service, pet day care facility and trade school), and deletes corresponding definitions for land use types that were deleted as part of the amendments to SAMC Section 41- 2006.         City Council 24 – 176 6/3/2025 ZOA No. 2024-02 & AA No. 2024-03 (Transit Zoning Code Amendments) February 24, 2025 Page 13 3 3 6 7 Analysis of the Issues The proposed amendments to the Sections of the TZC under the topic headings of Application of Article, Organization, Application for Discretionary Approvals, and Definitions are largely to ensure internal consistency related to the more substantive changes being proposed for the TZC to address irreconcilable land use conflicts, described as follows: •Nonconforming Structures and Uses - Section 41-2002 regulates the nonconforming building, structure or use specifically within the TZC. The regulations are unique to the TZC and do not apply citywide. The regulations determine under certain circumstances when a nonconforming structure or use can rehabilitate both structural or nonstructural; or expand conditions that would allow expansion. Due to the concerns enumerated within this report related to nonconforming industrial uses within the TZC, the amendments to this section increasingly limit rehabilitation of structures to those types of improvements that address compliance with the new Section 41-2009 operational standards for nonconforming industrial uses; and disallow the expansion of any nonconforming industrial use. This Section also includes new provisions to establish a process for the discontinuance of nonconforming uses, specifically noxious uses, and the elimination of those uses or structures through an amortization hearing process. The tools that these new regulations provide are necessary to address the environmental impacts that lead to the adoption of the Moratorium, provide the framework to initiate the process to eliminate noxious industrial land uses from the TZC, and align with the adopted EJ policies of the General Plan. •The Industrial Overlay (I-OZ) Zone – Section 41-2004 created an “exception” zone for properties within the TZC that had already contained M1 or M2 industrial zoning, uses and structures, when the TZC was adopted in 2010. In order to be both consistent and to promulgate the new General Plan land use designations within the TZC, the removal of this overlay zone is necessary. The zone currently gives deference to the property owner of these parcels with an industrial overlay to decide when and whether to redevelop their properties in a manner that would remove the industrial structure and use, replacing it with an allowable use and conforming to the design standards of the TZC. Eliminating the I-OZ Zone will cause these properties to become nonconforming as to use and structure, subjecting them to the regulations as amended and added to Section 41-2002, including discontinuance of nonconforming use or structure though amortization. With the deletion of the entirety of the text of Section 41-2004, Section 41-2005 Application for Discretionary Approvals is renumbered as Section 41-2004. •Zones Established and Uses Permitted – Amendments to Sections 41-2006 and 41- 2007, respectively, include parallel deletion of the I-OZ Zone affecting the Regulating Plan (TZC zoning map) and the corresponding Use Standards tables regulating the land use and permit types for each of the remaining zones of the TZC. Table 2A categorizes land uses into broad subheadings for both residential and nonresidential land uses. The nonresidential land uses are further categorized into commercial-         City Council 24 – 177 6/3/2025 ZOA No. 2024-02 & AA No. 2024-03 (Transit Zoning Code Amendments) February 24, 2025 Page 14 3 3 6 7 oriented versus industrial-oriented types of uses. The amendments will eliminate the Small-Scale Industry sub-category altogether, since the majority of these uses are industrial uses incompatible with residential uses. The purpose of the TZC is to promote transit-oriented mixed-use development, which pairs residential and nonresidential land uses either horizontally or vertically on a site or within a building. Compatibility of allowable land use types is critical, particularly given the history of the negative impacts from industrial uses remaining in the area and in close proximity to existing and new residential areas. Amending this Section also replaces the TZC zoning map figure to ensure consistency with the City’s Official Zoning Map and General Plan Land Use Map in accordance with requirements of State law, Government Code Section 65860. •Operational Standards and Operational Standards for Nonconforming Industrial Uses – Section 41-2008 contains operational standards applicable to all uses within the TZC boundary. This Section is largely unchanged, with clarification and strengthening of certain regulations to address any possible industrial type function of an allowable land use type as listed in the tables of Section 41-2007. These amendments affected any possible manufacturing related activities, sound, screening walls and eliminated any vehicular service on Sundays. Section 41-2009 establishes new regulations governing existing industrial uses made nonconforming with the removal of the I-OZ Zone within the TZC, and include general standards, enclosed operations, air emissions and dust, light, glare, and heat, ground vibration, outdoor storage and screening, hazardous materials, liquid and solid waste, site maintenance, truck parking and loading, and hours of operation. The amendments to Section 41-2008 and creation of new regulations under Section 41-2009 ensure that existing nonconforming uses comply with very specific operational standards and/or face amortization that leads ultimately to discontinuance of use, effectively reestablishing the TZC area with residential uses and allowing certain nonresidential uses compatible to such residential and/or mixed-use development. Profile of Industrial Businesses Affected with Proposed Regulations The SD-84 Transit Zoning Code (TZC) area is characterized by a diverse mix of approximately 127 industrial businesses. These businesses range from automotive services (the most common industry type) and manufacturing to warehousing and recycling centers. Data compiled from city and external regulatory agencies, including CalEPA, SCAQMD, and CERS, reveal that these businesses operate under various permits related to hazardous materials, air quality, and water quality. Key business characteristics include the storage and use of hazardous materials such as motor oil, solvents, and various chemicals, as well as the operation of equipment like emergency generators and internal combustion engines. Notably, several businesses, particularly those engaged in manufacturing (spray booths, metal processing) and chemical storage, handle substances like xylene, resins, mineral oils, and acids, posing potential risks related to air and water contamination, as well as fire and health hazards. Heavier industrial operators, such as open air recycling and sorting facilities in the TZC have been creating a         City Council 24 – 178 6/3/2025 ZOA No. 2024-02 & AA No. 2024-03 (Transit Zoning Code Amendments) February 24, 2025 Page 15 3 3 6 7 range of issues in the neighborhood. Issues range from: 1) air pollution – dust and participate matter from the sorting process that can become airborne, leading to respiratory problems and reduced air quality, VOCs released from decomposing materials, and odors; 2) water pollution from stormwater runoff that can carry contaminants, including debris, chemicals, or bacteria, from a facility to nearby waterways; 3) noise pollution from heavy machinery, trucks, and sorting equipment generating noise; 4) visual blight from the constant movement of trucks and equipment and from the piles of trash, debris, and recycling materials that detract from the aesthetic appeal of the community. The secondary effects affect residents’ quality of life with increased traffic hazards and living next to these heavier industrial uses and the risks being exposed to these issues on a daily basis. General Plan Consistency The proposed zoning ordinance amendments are consistent with various goals and policies of the Santa Ana General Plan, as required by Government Code Section 65860, by timely addressing current inconsistencies within an area of the City prioritized for addressing EJ. In effect, the amendments are necessary to address numerous policies of the General Plan that the current TZC is found to be inconsistent with, that without such amendments, will continue the path of irreconcilable land use patterns within the TZC. Specifically, these policies include Policy LU-1.1 (Compatible Uses), Policy LU-2.4 (Cost and Benefit of Development), Policy LU-3.8 (Sensitive Receptors), Policy LU-3.9 (Noxious, Hazardous, Dangerous, and Polluting Uses), Policy LU-3.11 (Air Pollution Buffers), Policy LU-4.3 (Sustainable Land Use Strategies), Policy LU-4.6 (Healthy Living Conditions), Policy CM- 3.2 (Healthy Neighborhoods), Policy EP-1.9 (Avoid Conflict of Uses), Policy EP-3.3 (Mitigate Impacts), Policy CN-1.5 (Sensitive Receptor Decisions), Policy CM-3.2 (Healthy Neighborhoods), and Policy HE-5.5 (Community Development), which are targeted at correcting past land use planning practices that have placed an unequitable environmental and health burden on certain neighborhoods now termed disadvantaged communities. The proposed amendments support these goals and policies by: •Fostering the compatibility between residential and nonresidential land uses within the TZC to enhance livability and promote healthier lifestyles, and improve public health and quality of life; •Resolving the development of industrial land uses and sensitive receptors being in close proximity to each other that pose health hazards by eliminating an overlay zone that promulgated continuation of industrial uses without recourse; •Improving the health of the existing and future residents of the TZC by regulating the operations of noxious, hazardous, dangerous, and polluting uses by giving priority to the discontinuance of those uses; •Responding to overarching EJ policies to develop and implement land use and zoning strategies to separate existing sensitive uses from heavy industrial facilities and emission sources; •Continuing to support the creation of healthy neighborhoods by addressing land use conflicts and incompatible uses through the elimination of the I-OZ zone and associated industrial land use types from the list of allowable land uses within the TZC;         City Council 24 – 179 6/3/2025 ZOA No. 2024-02 & AA No. 2024-03 (Transit Zoning Code Amendments) February 24, 2025 Page 16 3 3 6 7 •Developing and adopting new regulations to address facilities that emit increased pollution new sensitive receptors within EJ area boundaries, which includes areas of the TZC; •Avoiding potential land use conflicts in the future by prohibiting the location of noxious land uses in proximity to sensitive receptors; and •Creating a sustainable land use plan for the area that phases out land uses that are causing a substantial drain on City and other public agency resources in addressing the impacts from irreconcilable land use conflicts in the TZC area. Additionally, the proposed amendments implement and/or contribute to achieving the following specific action programs of the General Plan, most particularly directly addressing LU3.3 through the creation of a discontinuance of nonconforming industrial uses through amortization: LU1.1 - Development Code Update. Prepare a comprehensive update to the zoning code to ensure that the City’s zoning regulations align with the General Plan’s goals and policies. Update the Metro East Mixed-Use Overlay District to remove the portion within the 17th Street and Grand Avenue Focus Area. Update the Midtown Specific Plan. LU3.3 - Healthy lifestyles. Collaborate with residents and industry stakeholders to create a program to incentivize and amortize the removal of existing heavy industrial uses adjacent to sensitive uses. CN1.4 - Health risk criteria. Establish criteria for requiring health risk assessments for existing and new industries, including the type of business, thresholds, and scope of assessment. Review existing and establish new regulation to reduce and avoid increased pollution near sensitive receptors within environmental justice area boundaries. CN1.7 - Truck idling. Evaluate strategies to reduce truck idling found or reported in areas with sensitive receptors, with a priority placed on environmental justice areas. CN1.11 - Public education. Augment existing outreach programs to improve public awareness of State, regional and local agencies’ roles and resources to identify, monitor, and address air quality and other environmental hazards in the community. HE5.C – Healthy Neighborhoods Initiatives. Update the City’s zoning code development and operational standards for industrial zones to address incompatibility with adjacent uses, including minimum distance requirements to buffer heavy industrial uses from sensitive receptors. Conduct a study to evaluate and establish appropriate minimum distances and landscape buffers between polluting industrial uses from sensitive receptors such as residences. HE44.A – Fair Housing. Ensure all City programs and activities relating to housing and community development are administered in a manner that affirmatively furthers fair housing.         City Council 24 – 180 6/3/2025 ZOA No. 2024-02 & AA No. 2024-03 (Transit Zoning Code Amendments) February 24, 2025 Page 17 3 3 6 7 Santa Ana’s current General Plan champions implementation policies, including 77 EJ actions that address air quality, noxious uses, water safety, residential lead exposure in the soil, and other environmental public health conditions. The proposed Transit Zoning Code amendments align with both the General Plan's EJ policies and the original land use designations applicable to the area since the adoption of the Transit Zoning Code in 2010. ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT The California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) requires public agencies and local governments to measure the environmental impacts of development projects or other major land use decisions, and to limit or avoid those impacts if possible. CEQA Guidelines Section 15164 states the following with respect to an Addendum to an EIR: a) The lead agency or responsible agency shall prepare an addendum to a previously certified EIR if some changes or additions are necessary but none of the conditions described in Section 15162 calling for preparation of a subsequent EIR have occurred. b) An addendum to an adopted negative declaration may be prepared if only minor technical changes or additions are necessary or none of the conditions described in Section 15162 calling for the preparation of a subsequent EIR or negative declaration have occurred. c) An addendum need not be circulated for public review but can be included in or attached to the final EIR or adopted negative declaration. d) The decision-making body shall consider the addendum with the final EIR or adopted negative declaration prior to making a decision on the project. e) A brief explanation of the decision not to prepare a subsequent EIR pursuant to Section 15162 should be included in an addendum to an EIR, the lead agency’s findings on the project, or elsewhere in the record. The explanation must be supported by substantial evidence. Additionally, CEQA Guidelines Section 15162, Subsequent EIRs and Negative Declarations, states the following with respect to a Subsequent EIRs: (a) When an EIR has been certified or a negative declaration adopted for a project, no subsequent EIR shall be prepared for that project unless the lead agency determines, on the basis of substantial evidence in the light of the whole record, one or more of the following: (1) Substantial changes are proposed in the project which will require major revisions of the previous EIR or negative declaration due to the involvement of new significant environmental effects or a substantial increase in the severity of previously identified significant effects; (2) Substantial changes occur with respect to the circumstances under which the project is undertaken which will require major revisions of the previous EIR or Negative Declaration due to the involvement of new significant environmental effects or a substantial increase in the severity of previously identified significant effects; or         City Council 24 – 181 6/3/2025 ZOA No. 2024-02 & AA No. 2024-03 (Transit Zoning Code Amendments) February 24, 2025 Page 18 3 3 6 7 (3) New information of substantial importance, which was not known and could not have been known with the exercise of reasonable diligence at the time the previous EIR was certified as complete or the Negative Declaration was adopted, shows any of the following: (A)The project will have one or more significant effects not discussed in the previous EIR or negative declaration; (B)Significant effects previously examined will be substantially more severe than shown in the previous EIR; (C)Mitigation measures or alternatives previously found not to be feasible would in fact be feasible, and would substantially reduce one or more significant effects of the project, but the project proponents decline to adopt the mitigation measure or alternative; or (D)Mitigation measures or alternatives which are considerably different from those analyzed in the previous EIR would substantially reduce one or more significant effects on the environment, but the project proponents decline to adopt the mitigation measure or alternative. (b) If changes to a project or its circumstances occur or new information becomes available after adoption of a negative declaration, the lead agency shall prepare a subsequent EIR if required under subdivision (a). Otherwise, the lead agency shall determine whether to prepare a subsequent negative declaration, an addendum, or no further documentation. ZOA No. 2024-02 and AA No. 2024-03 are considered a project as defined by the CEQA. The City, as the Lead Agency, has determined that it is subject to CEQA guidelines and regulations (Public Resources Code (PRC) Sections 21000-21177). An Addendum to the Transit Zoning Code Environmental Impact Report (EIR) (State Clearing House (SCH) No. 2006071100) has been prepared by the City. Based on its independent review and analysis, and the administrative record as a whole, and, in the exercising its independent judgement, hereby finds that pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Section 15162, no subsequent EIR would be required for the proposed project; and pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Section 15164, an addendum to the Transit Zoning Code EIR is required for the adoption of the Ordinances. Specifically, pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Section 15162, the City finds on the basis of substantial evidence in light of the whole record, that: (1) no substantial changes are proposed in the project which will require major revisions of the EIR due to the involvement of new significant environmental effects or a substantial increase in the severity of previously identified significant effects; (2) no substantial changes have occurred with respect to the circumstances under which the project is undertaken which will require major revisions of the EIR due to the involvement of new significant environmental effects or a substantial increase in the severity of previously identified significant effects; and (3) there is no new information of substantial importance, which was not known and could not have been known with the exercise of reasonable diligence at the time the EIR was certified as complete, that shows any of the following: (A) the project will have one or more significant effects not discussed in the EIR; (B) significant effect previously examined will be substantially more severe than shown in the EIR; (C)         City Council 24 – 182 6/3/2025 ZOA No. 2024-02 & AA No. 2024-03 (Transit Zoning Code Amendments) February 24, 2025 Page 19 3 3 6 7 mitigation measures or alternatives previously found not to be feasible would in fact be feasible and would substantially reduce one or more significant effects of the project, but the project proponents decline to adopt the mitigation measure or alternative; or (D) mitigation measures or alternative which are considerably different from those analyzed in the EIR would substantially reduce one or more significant effects on the environment, but the project proponents decline to adopt the mitigation measure or alternative. Additionally, as detailed in the General Plan Consistency subsection of this report, the proposed Ordinances are consistent with numerous General Plan goals and policies that were evaluated as part of the General Plan Update Program EIR. The proposed Ordinances also satisfy and further implementation actions of the General Plan Update. FISCAL IMPACT There is no fiscal impact associated with this action. EXHIBITS 1.

Code of Regulations, §§ 15000, et seq., “CEQA Guidelines”) and adopted the City of Santa Ana’s Transit Zoning Code (“Transit Zoning Code”), which is designed to provide the zoning necessary to support the long-term development of a successful transit program; and WHEREAS, after continued research and study, two ordinances have been developed that address the impacts from industrial land uses in the Specific Development No. 84 (SD-84) Zoning District, also known as the Transit Zoning Code: (1) Zoning Ordinance Amendment (ZOA) No. 2024-02 to amend certain provisions of the Santa Ana Municipal Code and amend portions of the Transit Zoning Code, including the deletion of industrial land uses; amendment of non -conforming regulations; and (2) Amendment Application (AA) No. 2024-03 to remove the M1 (Light Industrial) and M2 (Heavy Industrial) suffixes from certain properties within the SD-84 Zoning District boundary as designated on the City of Santa Ana Zoning Map; and WHEREAS, pursuant to CEQA, when taking subsequent discretionary actions in furtherance of a project for which an EIR has been certified, the lead agency is required to review any changed circumstances to determine whether any of the circumstances under Public Resources Code section 21166 and CEQA Guidelines section 15162 require additional environmental review; and WHEREAS, the City has evaluated the proposed ordinances to the Transit Zoning Code in light of the standards for subsequent environmental review outlined in Public Resources Code section 21166 and CEQA Guidelines section 15162, and concluded that the proposed changes would not result in new significant environmental effects or a substantial increase in the severity of previously identified significant effects that were previously disclosed in the Transit Zoning Code EIR, and therefore no subsequent EIR or mitigated negative declaration is required; and WHEREAS, the proposed changes would nonetheless necessitate minor changes or additions to the Transit Zoning Code EIR and, thus, the City has prepared an Addendum for the Transit Zoning Code EIR (“Addendum”), attached as Exhibit 1, pursuant to State CEQA Guidelines section 15164 to address the proposed ordinances; and         City Council 24 – 184 6/3/2025 WHEREAS, the Addendum was prepared in full compliance with CEQA, CEQA Guidelines, and the City’s Local CEQA Guidelines; and WHEREAS CEQA Guidelines Section 15164, subdivision (c) does not require the Addendum to be circulated for public review but can be included in or attached to a final EIR or adopted negative declaration; and WHEREAS, under CEQA and the CEQA Guidelines and as referenced below, the "project" shall mean the proposed ordinances under the Transit Zoning Code including implementation of these ordinances; and WHEREAS, on February 24, 2025, the Planning Commission held a duly noticed public hearing to consider these proposed ordinances, where all interested persons were given an opportunity to be heard, and recommended approval of the ordinances to the City Council; WHEREAS, on March 18, 2025, the City Council held a duly noticed publi c hearing to consider these proposed ordinances, where all interested persons were given an opportunity to be heard; and WHEREAS the City Council considered the entire administrative record, including the staff report (and all attachments thereto), the Transit Zoning Code EIR and Addendum, and oral and written testimony from interested persons; NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the City Council of the City of Santa Ana as follows: Section 1. The above recitals are true and incorporated herein by reference. Section 2. CEQA Guidelines Section 15164 requires lead agencies to prepare an addendum to a previously certified EIR if some changes or additions to the project are necessary, but none of the conditions requiring preparation of a subsequent EIR are present. The City Council has reviewed and considered the administrative record, including but not limited to the Transit Zoning Code EIR and the Addendum, which are all incorporated by reference as though set forth fully herein, and finds that those documents taken together contain a complete and accurate reporting of all the environmental impacts associated with the Transit Zoning Code. The City Council further finds that the Addendum and the administrative record have been completed in compliance with CEQA, the CEQA Guidelines, and the City’s Local CEQA Guidelines. The City Council finds and determines that the Addendum reflects the City’s independent judgment. The City Council finds that the foregoing is supported by substantial evidence in the record. Furthermore, when taking subsequent discretionary actions in furtherance of a project for which an EIR has been certified, the City is required to review any changed         City Council 24 – 185 6/3/2025 circumstances under Public Resources Code Section 21166 and CEQA Guidelines Section 15162 to determine whether additional environmental review is required. Based on the substantial evidence set forth in the administrative record, including but not limited to the Transit Zoning Code EIR and the Addendum, the City Council finds that none of the conditions under CEQA Guidelines Section 15162 requiring subsequent environmental review have occurred because the proposed ordinances: a) do not constitute substantial changes that would require major revisions to the Transit Zoning Code EIR due to the involvement of new significant environmental effects or a substantial increase in the severity of previously identified effects; and b) do not constitute substantial changes with respect to the circumstances under which the project was developed that would require major revisions of the Transit Zoning Code EIR due to the involvement of new significant environmental effects or a substantial increase in the severity of the previously identified significant effects; and c) do not present new information of substantial importan ce that was not known and could not have been known with the exercise of reasonable diligence at the time the Transit Zoning Code was certified, showing any of the following: (i) that the project would have one or more significant effects not discussed in the earlier environmental documentation; (ii) that significant effects previously examined would be substantially more severe than shown in the earlier environmental documentation; (iii) that mitigation measures or alternatives previously found not to be feasible would in fact be feasible and would substantially reduce one or more significant effects, but the applicant declined to adopt such measures; or (iv) that mitigation measures or alternatives considerably different from those previously analyzed woul d substantially reduce one or more significant effects on the environment, but which the applicant declined to adopt. Pursuant to CEQA and CEQA Guidelines, the City Council hereby adopts the foregoing findings and adopts the Addendum attached as Exhibit 1. City Council further directs City staff to cause a Notice of Determination to be filed and posted with the County of Orange Registrar-Recorder/County Clerk and the State Clearinghouse within five working days of the City Council’s adoption of this Resolution. Section 3. This Resolution shall become effective immediately upon its adoption. Section 4.

The purpose of the moratorium was to immediately offer protection of public health, safety, and welfare from industrial uses significantly causing pollution burden to adjacent residential neighborhoods within the SD84 Zoning District. On May 21, 2024, the City Council adopted Ordinance No. NS-3064 to extend the moratorium for an additional ten (10) months and fifteen (15) days pursuant to the Government Code to provide sufficient time for staff to continue with data tracking and reporting, research appropriate regulations, and coordinate with outside regulatory agencies and City departments to determine whether further, permanent action is necessary and to generate recommendations to the Planning Commission and City Council. Based upon the City Council’s actions and direction enacting the moratorium combined with the research and analysis of the issues herein, staff has prepared Zoning Ordinance Amendment (ZOA) No. 2024-02 and Amendment Application (AA) No. 2024-03. The proposed amendments (“proposed amendments” or “project”) will modify the list of land uses and permit types including the deletion of industrial land uses; amend nonconforming regulations including the addition of an amortization process for industrial uses; amend and add operational standards for allowed uses and nonconforming uses; delete the Industrial Overlay (I-OZ) zone from text and maps; and delete the M1 (Light Industrial) and M2 (Heavy Industrial) suffixes from certain properties within the SD84 Zoning District boundary as designated on the City of Santa Ana Zoning Map. Refer to Section 3.2 – Project Description. Following preliminary review of proposed ZOA No. 2024-02 and AA No. 2024-03 amendments, the City, as the Lead Agency, has determined that the project is subject to CEQA (Public Resources Code (PRC) §§21000-21177; 14 CCR §§15000, et seq.). This Addendum to Transit Zoning Code (SD 84A and 84B) Environmental Impact Report (“TZC EIR”) (SCH No. 2006071100) has been prepared to demonstrate that, pursuant to the standards contained in CEQA Guidelines Section 15162, this project is within the scope of the TZC EIR. As a result, the City does not need to prepare a subsequent or supplemental EIR as the TZC EIR fully analyzed the potential impacts associated with the proposed amendments. This is consistent with Section 8.06 of the City’s Local Guidelines for Implementing CEQA. 1.2 Statutory Authority and Requirements CEQA Guidelines Section 15164 states the following with respect to an Addendum to an EIR: a) The lead agency or responsible agency shall prepare an addendum to a previously certified EIR if some changes or additions are necessary but none of the conditions described in Section 15162 calling for preparation of a subsequent EIR have occurred. b) An addendum to an adopted negative declaration may be prepared if only minor technical changes or additions are necessary or none of the conditions described in Section 15162 calling for the preparation of a subsequent EIR or negative declaration have occurred. c) An addendum need not be circulated for public review but can be included in or attached to the final EIR or adopted negative declaration.         City Council 24 – 191 6/3/2025 January 2025 2 Environmental Analysis d) The decision making body shall consider the addendum with the final EIR or adopted negative declaration prior to making a decision on the project. e) A brief explanation of the decision not to prepare a subsequent EIR pursuant to Section 15162 should be included in an addendum to an EIR, the lead agency’s findings on the project, or elsewhere in the record. The explanation must be supported by substantial evidence. CEQA Guidelines Section 15162, Subsequent EIRs and Negative Declarations, states the following with respect to a Subsequent EIRs: (a) When an EIR has been certified or a negative declaration adopted for a project, no subsequent EIR shall be prepared for that project unless the lead agency determines, on the basis of substantial evidence in the light of the whole record, one or more of the following: (1) Substantial changes are proposed in the project which will require major revisions of the previous EIR or negative declaration due to the involvement of new significant environmental effects or a substantial increase in the severity of previously identified significant effects; (2) Substantial changes occur with respect to the circumstances under which the project is undertaken which will require major revisions of the previous EIR or Negative Declaration due to the involvement of new significant environmental effects or a substantial increase in the severity of previously identified significant effects; or (3) New information of substantial importance, which was not known and could not have been known with the exercise of reasonable diligence at the time the previous EIR was certified as complete or the Negative Declaration was adopted, shows any of the following: (A) The project will have one or more significant effects not discussed in the previous EIR or negative declaration; (B) Significant effects previously examined will be substantially more severe than shown in the previous EIR; (C) Mitigation measures or alternatives previously found not to be feasible would in fact be feasible, and would substantially reduce one or more significant effects of the project, but the project proponents decline to adopt the mitigation measure or alternative; or (D) Mitigation measures or alternatives which are considerably different from those analyzed in the previous EIR would substantially reduce one or more significant effects on the environment, but the project proponents decline to adopt the mitigation measure or alternative. (b) If changes to a project or its circumstances occur or new information becomes available after adoption of a negative declaration, the lead agency shall prepare a subsequent EIR if required under subdivision (a). Otherwise the lead agency shall determine whether to prepare a subsequent negative declaration, an addendum, or no further documentation. 1.3 Incorporation by Reference The TZC Final EIR, including the original Draft EIR (DEIR), and has been made available for public review at the Lead Agency office (City of Santa Ana). The Final EIR is incorporated into this Addendum by reference.         City Council 24 – 192 6/3/2025 January 2025 3 Environmental Analysis This Addendum is available for public inspection at the City at 20 Civic Center Plaza, Santa Ana, CA, and on the City’s website at https://www.santa-ana.org/environmental-impact-report- transit-zoning-code/. 2.0 BACKGROUND The TZC was established in June 2010, which is located in the area west of Interstate 5, north of First Street, and between Grand Avenue and Flower Street, and south of Civic Center Drive in the City of Santa Ana. The TZC provided new zoning for all of the properties contained within its boundary. However, some properties with existing M1 and M2 zoning and/or existing industrial businesses also received an overlay district designation which allowed for the continuation of industrial land uses on those properties and allows for the option of future mixed-use development to be exercised at the discretion of the property owner. The purpose was to establish a transit-supportive, pedestrian-oriented development framework to support the addition of new transit infrastructure; preserve and reinforce the existing character and pedestrian nature of the City by strengthening urban form through improved development and design standards; encourage alternative modes of transportation; provide for a range of housing options; and allow for the reuse of existing structures. On June 7, 2010, the City adopted the TZC and certified the TZC Final EIR (SCH No. 2006071100). The TZC Final EIR provides a program-level and project-level analysis of the environmental impacts resulting from implementation of the TZC. The majority of the analysis is done at the program level; however, a project-level analysis is provided for the development proposal to demolish 30,000 square feet of existing structures on eleven Redevelopment Agency-owned parcels and to construct 220 affordable residential units. The TZC Final EIR concluded full implementation of the TZC would result in significant and unavoidable impacts with respect to the following: aesthetics, air quality, cultural resources, noise, transportation, and climate change. The TZC Final EIR’s background and environmental impact conclusions are cited throughout this Addendum. In July 2019, the City Council adopted Ordinance No. NS-2970, amending the Transit Zoning Code to modify certain design criteria regarding height, massing, open space location, driveway standards, lot dimensions, and parking alternatives, and determined that this ordinance was exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act pursuant to State CEQA Guidelines, section 15061(b)(3). This amendment did not include changes to land uses or permit types within the TZC. In support of the TZC amendment, the City Council also approved a General Plan amendment, establishing numerous mixed-use General Plan land use designations for the entirety of the TZC. Refer to Figure 1 – Existing Transit Zoning Code area and Figure 2 Transit Zoning Code Designations, below. However, due to the continued application of the industrial overlay zones within the TZC, implementation of the new General Plan land use designations immediately resulted in zoning inconsistencies and land use conflicts with the new General Plan.         City Council 24 – 193 6/3/2025 January 2025 4 Environmental Analysis Figure 1 – Transit Zoning Code Area         City Council 24 – 194 6/3/2025 January 2025 5 Environmental Analysis Figure 2 – Existing Transit Zoning Code Designations         City Council 24 – 195 6/3/2025 January 2025 6 Environmental Analysis 3.0 DESCRIPTION OF PROPOSED PROJECT The proposed amendments would modify the list of land uses and permit types, including the following: • Deletion of industrial land uses • Amend nonconforming regulations, including the addition of an amortization process • Amend and add operational standards for allowed uses and nonconforming uses • Delete the Industrial Overlay (I-OZ) zone from text and maps • Delete the M1 (Light Industrial) and M2 (Heavy Industrial) suffixes from certain properties within the SD84 Zoning District boundary as designated on the City of Santa Ana Zoning Map Implementation of the proposed amendments do not include nor require implementation of any site-specific development projects. Table 1 – Current and Proposed Text Regulations, below lists the proposed amendments and is followed by a summary of each. Figure 2.5 Proposed Transit Zoning Code Designations depicts the removal of I-OZ from the map. Table 1 – Current and Proposed Text Regulations Code Section Title Existing Zoning Code Regulations Proposed Zoning Code Regulations Application of Article SAMC Section 41-2001 establishes the land uses and standards applicable to the TZC - primarily for new uses. The update to text of this Section clarifies that the regulations apply to existing uses, whether conforming or nonconforming, change in land use or tenancy requiring issuance of Certificate of Occupancy. Organization SAMC Section 41-2001.5 establishes the contents and organization of the TZC regulations The update to the text is necessary to encompass the new Section 41-2009 (Operational Standards for Nonconforming Industrial Uses). Nonconforming Buildings, Structures and Uses SAMC Section 41-2002 establishes the regulations for nonconforming buildings, structures or uses within the TZC boundary. The provisions contain minimal limits for rehabilitation of buildings and structures and their expansion for both residential and non- residential uses. The update to text of this Section will further limit some rehabilitation of buildings and structures, with specific emphasis on nonconforming industrial uses. These updated provisions include: • Requiring rehabilitation or expansion of buildings and structures, occupied by any nonconforming use to comply with the new operational standards contained in Section 41-2009. • Prohibits expansion of a building or structure occupied by a nonconforming industrial use. • Discontinuation of nonconforming         City Council 24 – 196 6/3/2025 January 2025 7 Environmental Analysis Code Section Title Existing Zoning Code Regulations Proposed Zoning Code Regulations noxious uses through amortization. • Elimination of certain nonconforming uses and structures • Establishes a process for enacting amortization periods for eliminating certain nonconforming uses. • References to SAMC and State law for abatement of public nuisances. • Establishes authority for voluntary compliance agreements between the City and nonconforming uses. The Industrial Overlay (I-OZ) Zone SAMC Section 41-2004 establishes an overlay zone applied to M1 and M2 zoned properties located within the TZC boundary. Section 41-2004 is deleted in its entirety, removing the I-OZ Zone from the TZC to eliminate industrial land use type zoning altogether. Application for Discretionary Approvals SAMC Section 41-2005 establishes the process and timing of vesting for certain uses approved with a discretionary permit. Section 41-2005 is renumbered as 41- 2004, and the update to the text of this Section adds clarification for effects of the amendments to the TZC dependent upon status of an application in the City process of review, approval, and/or building permit issuance, if required. Zones Established SAMC Section 41-2006 contains the regulations for zoning districts, land uses, and permit types within the TZC. The update to the text of this Section deletes the I-OZ Zone, including replacing Figure 2.1, the Regulating Plan (map) with a new Figure 2.1 removing the I-OZ Zone designation from all parcels within the TZC boundary. Uses Permitted SAMC Section 41-2007 provides the allowable land uses and permit types required to establish a land use by each zoning district within the TZC. The update to the text of this Section clarifies application of the use standards by zoning district as follows: • Modifies Table 2A containing the Use Standards by adding and reclassifying certain land use types appropriate to the TZC land use subcategories • Deletes certain land use types that are inconsistent with the intent and purpose of the TZC, including the deletion of the Small-Scale Industry land use subcategory in its entirety. Operational Standards SAMC Section 41-2008 primarily regulates new uses within the TZC. The update to the text of this Section further limits certain operations to ensure greater compatibility between residential and non-residential land uses. Operational Standards for Nonconforming Industrial Uses SAMC Section 41-2009 is an entirely new set of regulations specific to existing nonconforming industrial uses within the TZC. The new Section establishes regulations for operation of any existing, legally established, nonconforming industrial use. The regulations cover general standards, enclosed         City Council 24 – 197 6/3/2025 January 2025 8 Environmental Analysis Code Section Title Existing Zoning Code Regulations Proposed Zoning Code Regulations operations, air emissions and dust, light, glare, and heat, ground vibration, outdoor storage and screening, hazardous materials, liquid and solid waste, site maintenance, truck parking and loading, and hours of operation. Definitions SAMC Section 41-2080 contains the definitions applicable to terms and land uses of the TZC. The update to the text of this Section provides clarification for certain land use types (artisan/craft product with limited on-site production, commercial recreation facility – indoor, and research and development), adds definitions for land use types (business support services, pet day care facility and trade school, nonconforming industrial, and noxious use), and deletes corresponding definitions for land use types that were deleted as part of the amendments to SAMC Section 41- 2006. Source: Planning Commission Staff Report         City Council 24 – 198 6/3/2025 January 2025 9 Environmental Analysis Figure 2.5 – Proposed Transit Zoning Code Designations         City Council 24 – 199 6/3/2025 January 2025 10 Environmental Analysis Analysis of the Amendments The proposed amendments to the Sections of the TZC under the topic headings of Application of Article, Organization, Application for Discretionary Approvals, and Definitions are largely to ensure internal consistency related to the more substantive changes being proposed for the TZC to address irreconcilable land use conflicts, described as follows: • Nonconforming Structures and Uses - Section 41-2002 regulates the nonconforming building, structure or use specifically within the TZC. The regulations are unique to the TZC and do not apply citywide. The regulations determine under certain circumstances when a nonconforming structure or use can rehabilitate both structural or nonstructural; or expand conditions that would allow expansion. Due to the concerns enumerated within this report related to nonconforming industrial uses within the TZC, the amendments to this section increasingly limit rehabilitation of structures to those types of improvements that address compliance with the new Section 41-2009 operational standards for nonconforming industrial uses; and disallow the expansion of any nonconforming industrial use. This Section also includes new provisions to establish a process for the discontinuance of nonconforming uses, specifically noxious uses, and the elimination of those uses or structures through an amortization hearing process. The tools that these new regulations provide are necessary to address the environmental impacts that lead to the adoption of the Moratorium, provide the framework to initiate the process to eliminate noxious industrial land uses from the TZC, and align with the adopted EJ policies of the General Plan. • The Industrial Overlay (I-OZ) Zone – Section 41-2004 created an “exception” zone for properties within the TZC that contained M1 or M2 industrial zoning, uses and structures, when the TZC was adopted in 2010. In order to be both consistent and to promulgate the General Plan land use designations within the TZC, the removal of this overlay zone is necessary. The zone currently gives deference to the property owner of these parcels with an industrial overlay to decide when and whether to redevelop their properties in a manner that would remove the industrial structure and use, replacing it with an allowable use and conforming to the design standards of the TZC. Eliminating the I-OZ Zone will cause these properties to become nonconforming as to use and structure, subjecting them to the regulations as amended and added to Section 41- 2002, including discontinuance of nonconforming use or structure though amortization. With the deletion of the entirety of the text of Section 41-2004, Section 41-2005 Application for Discretionary Approvals is renumbered as Section 41-2004. • Zones Established and Uses Permitted – Amendments to Sections 41-2006 and 41- 2007, respectively, include parallel deletion of the I-OZ Zone affecting the Regulating Plan (TZC zoning map) and the corresponding Use Standards tables regulating the land use and permit types for each of the remaining zones of the TZC. Table 2A categorizes land uses into broad subheadings for both residential and nonresidential land uses. The nonresidential land uses are further categorized into commercial-oriented versus industrial-oriented types of uses. The amendments will eliminate the Small-Scale Industry sub-category altogether, since the majority of these uses are industrial uses incompatible with residential uses. The purpose of the TZC is to promote transit-oriented mixed-use development, which pairs residential and nonresidential land uses either horizontally or vertically on a site or within a building. Compatibility of allowable land use types is critical, particularly given the history of the negative impacts from industrial uses remaining in the area and in close proximity to existing and new residential areas. Amending this Section also replaces the TZC zoning map figure to ensure consistency with the City’s Official Zoning Map and General Plan Land Use Map in accordance with requirements of State law, Government Code Section 65860.         City Council 24 – 200 6/3/2025 January 2025 11 Environmental Analysis • Operational Standards and Operational Standards for Nonconforming Industrial Uses – Section 41-2008 contains operational standards applicable to all uses within the TZC boundary. This Section is largely unchanged, with clarification and strengthening of certain regulations to address any possible industrial type function of an allowable land use type as listed in the tables of Section 41-2007. These amendments affected any possible manufacturing related activities, sound, screening walls and eliminated any vehicular service on Sundays. Section 41-2009 establishes new regulations governing existing industrial uses made nonconforming with the removal of the I-OZ Zone within the TZC, and include general standards, enclosed operations, air emissions and dust, light, glare, and heat, ground vibration, outdoor storage and screening, hazardous materials, liquid and solid waste, site maintenance, truck parking and loading, and hours of operation. The amendments to Section 41-2008 and creation of new regulations under Section 41-2009 ensure that existing nonconforming uses comply with very specific operational standards and/or face amortization that leads ultimately to discontinuance of use, effectively reestablishing the TZC area with residential uses and allowing certain nonresidential uses compatible to such residential and/or mixed-use development. 4.0 ENVIRONMENTAL SETTING The City of Santa Ana is located in Orange County and serves as the County seat. The City is in the western central portion of Orange County, approximately 30 miles southwest of the City of Los Angeles and 10 miles northeast of the City of Newport Beach (refer to Figure 3, Regional Location). As shown in Figure 4, Citywide Aerial, the City is bordered by the City of Orange and unincorporated areas of Orange County to the north, the City of Tustin to the east, the cities of Irvine and Costa Mesa to the south, and the cities of Fountain Valley and Garden Grove to the west. The TZC area is shown in blue on both Figure 3 and Figure 4, and a detailed view is shown on Figure 1 in Section 2.0.         City Council 24 – 201 6/3/2025 January 2025 12 Environmental Analysis Figure 3 – Regional Location         City Council 24 – 202 6/3/2025 January 2025 13 Environmental Analysis Figure 4 – Citywide Aerial         City Council 24 – 203 6/3/2025 January 2025 14 Environmental Analysis At the local level, the TZC area is located in the central urban core of the City and comprises over 100 blocks and 450 acres, and is generally bounded by I-5 to the north and east, First Street to the south, and Flower Street to the west. Refer to Figure 1 in the Background section. The majority of the City is urbanized, with residential and nonresidential development, and mobility and public facilities all contributing to Santa Ana’s existing built environment. The City’s incorporated boundaries encompass approximately 27.4 square miles. Residential land uses occupy almost 40 percent of the land within the current City boundaries, accounting for 5,226 acres. Other predominant land uses include commercial (1,588 acres) and industrial (1,628 acres). While Santa Ana is a densely populated urban center with one of the most diverse international populations in Orange County, it can generally be characterized as a City of neighborhoods. Santa Ana has over 65 neighborhoods which are distinguished by their history, architecture, housing types, amenities, and unique character. The Specific Development (SD) No. 84 Zoning District, also known as the TZC, is located in the central urban core of the City and comprises over 100 blocks and 450 acres, and is generally bounded by First Street, Flower Street, Civic Center Drive, Grand Avenue, and the Santa Ana (I-5) Freeway. The TZC area includes the Orange County Civic Center consisting of City, County and federal buildings, City, Downtown, the Logan and Lacy neighborhoods, which are among the City’s most historic in age and are established residential communities. Additional land uses include a mix of residential, commercial and industrial uses. The TZC area overlaps portions of two of the City’s five focus areas, which are suited for new growth and development under the GPU: the Grand Avenue Avenue/17th Street Focus Area and the West Santa Ana Boulevard Focus Area. The Grand Avenue Avenue/17th Street Focus Area is primarily business oriented with office and commercial storefronts and large apartment complexes. The West Santa Ana Boulevard Focus Area is characterized as a mix of residential, commercial and industrial. 5.0 ENVIRONMENTAL ANALYSIS The Initial Study/Notice of Preparation of the DEIR (Appendix A) concluded certain topics to be “Effects Not Found to Be Significant” according to Section 15128 of the CEQA Guidelines as having less than significant or no impacts, and therefore were not included in the Final EIR. Agricultural Resources. The Initial Study concluded that the soils within the Transit Zoning Code (SD 84A and SD 84B) area are not candidates for listing as prime farmland, unique farmland, or farmland of statewide importance. In addition, no farmland or agricultural activity exists on or in the vicinity of the Transit Zoning Code, and no portion is under a Williamson Act contract. The Initial Study concluded no that no impacts would occur. Geology and Soils. The Transit Zoning Code (SD 84A and SD 84B) area is located in an area of minimal geologic hazards. Any development within the project area would be designed in accordance with applicable building code requirements, which account for seismic groundshaking. The Initial Study concluded that no and less than significant impacts to would occur. Mineral Resources. The Initial Study determined that implementation of the Transit Zoning Code (SD 84A and SD 84B) would not result in the loss of availability of either a known mineral resource of value to the state or region, or a locally important mineral resource recovery site, because no such sites exist within the project area. The Initial Study concluded that implementation of the Transit Zoning Code (SD 84A and SD 84B) would not result in the loss of         City Council 24 – 204 6/3/2025 January 2025 15 Environmental Analysis availability of a locally important mineral resource delineated on a local general plan, specific plan, or other land use plan. Because the TZC Final EIR was certified in 2010, certain topics that were later added to the state CEQA Guidelines checklist were not included. The Tribal Cultural Resources topic was added to the CEQA Guidelines in 2017. Although added as a separate topic, the TZC DEIR Cultural Resources section did include an evaluation of Native American resources in Section 4.4.1 – Environmental Setting and Section 4.4.2 – Regulatory Framework. Impact 4.4-1 included MM 4.4-1(a) that required construction monitoring by a tribe. The TZC EIR included a Global Climate Change topic, which included greenhouse gas emissions. The Greenhouse Gas Emissions topic was added to the CEQA Guidelines in 2018. Greenhouse Gas Emissions was discussed in Section 4.13.2 – Existing Conditions, Section 4.13.2 – Regulatory Framework, and Section 4.13.4 – Project Impacts and Mitigation Measures. The Energy and Wildfire topics were added to the CEQA Guidelines in 2018. Although added as separate topics, Energy is discussed within Sections 4.12.12 and 4.12.13 of the Utilities and Service Systems topic of the TZC EIR. Wildfire (i.e. wildland fires), is discussed within Section 4.5.3 of the Hazards and Hazardous Materials topic of the TZC EIR. Although these topics were added following certification of the TZC Final EIR, they were discussed and analyzed in the respective sections identified above and do not represent new impacts not previously addressed. Sections 5.1 through 5.13, below, analyzes the potentially significant impacts that could occur as a result of implementing the proposed project through the adoption of the proposed text regulations identified in Table 1 – Current and Proposed Text Regulations. Each topical section lists impact statements and mitigation measures from the TZC EIR, and provides an analysis and conclusion. Each TZC EIR conclusion includes a reference to the EIR impact statement (ex., Impact 4.1-3) and includes its associated significance finding. 5.1 AESTHETICS/VISUAL RESOURCES This section analyzes the effects to aesthetics and visual resources from implementing the proposed zoning code regulations. Would the project: a. Have a substantial adverse effect on a scenic vista? b. Substantially damage scenic resources, including, but not limited to, trees, rock outcroppings, and historic buildings within a state scenic highway? c. Substantially degrade the existing visual character or quality of the site and its surroundings? d. Create a new source of substantial light or glare, which would adversely affect day or nighttime views in the area? e. A project would be considered to create significant shade/shadow impacts if shade/shadow from the project results in a substantial loss of sunlight in a residential area or other sensitive receptor. Other sensitive receptors would include schools and parks.         City Council 24 – 205 6/3/2025 January 2025 16 Environmental Analysis TZC EIR Conclusions • Implementation of the Transit Zoning Code (SD 84A and SD 84B) would not substantially damage scenic resources within a State scenic highway, and no further analysis is necessary in this EIR. (DEIR Section 4.1.3: Effects Found to Have No Impact) • Development under the Transit Zoning Code (SD 84A and SD 84B) would contribute to the image of, and add to the aesthetic quality of the City. As such, development under the proposed project would not degrade the existing visual quality of the area or obstruct key existing views and/or vistas in the vicinity. (Impact 4.1-1: Less Than Significant without mitigation) • Future development under the Transit Zoning Code (SD 84A and SD 84B) would improve the existing visual character. (Impact 4.1-2: Less Than Significant without mitigation) • Long-term cumulative development occurring pursuant to the Transit Zoning Code, and associated infrastructure improvements would result in new sources of increased daytime glare. (Impact 4.1-3: Less Than Significant with mitigation) • Long-term cumulative development occurring pursuant to the Transit Zoning Code would result in new sources of spillover light. (Impact 4.1-4: Less Than Significant with mitigation) • Long-term cumulative development occurring pursuant to the Transit Zoning Code (SD 84A and SD 84B) would result in a substantial increase in shade/shadows over sensitive uses. (Impact 4.1-5: Significant and Unavoidable and no feasible mitigation) TZC EIR FEIR Mitigation Measures MM4.1-1 Proposed new structures shall be designed to maximize the use of textured or other non-reflective exterior surfaces and non-reflective glass. Building materials shall be reviewed by the City of Santa Ana prior to issuance of building permits for each project. (Impact 4.1-3) MM4.1-2 All exterior lighting and advertising (including signage) shall be directed onto the specific location intended for illumination (e.g., parking lots, driveways, and walkways) and shielded away from adjacent properties and public rights-of-way to minimize light spillover onto adjacent areas. (Impact 4.1-4) MM4.1-3 Prior to issuance of a building permit for a specific development project, the applicant shall submit a lighting plan to the City for review and approval. The plan shall specify the lighting type and placement to ensure that the effects of security and other outdoor lighting are minimized on adjacent uses and do not create spillover effects. The plan shall specifically incorporate the following design features: o All projects shall incorporate project design features to shield light and/or glare from vehicles entering or exiting parking lots and structures that face sensitive uses (e.g., schools, hospitals, senior housing, or other residential properties) by providing barriers so that light from vehicle headlights would not illuminate off-site sensitive uses. o All projects shall incorporate project design features to provide landscaping, physical barriers, screening, or other buffers to minimize project-generated illumination from entering off-site areas and to prevent glare or interference with vehicular traffic, in accordance with the City’s Municipal Code. (Impact 4.1-4)         City Council 24 – 206 6/3/2025 January 2025 17 Environmental Analysis MM4.1-4 For any proposed structure that would exceed four stories in height, applicants shall submit a site-specific shade/shadow report with renderings representing the level of shade/shadows associated with the proposed development at the following times: 9:00 A.M., 12:00 P.M., 3:00 P.M. PST for the both the winter and summer solstices. An additional rendering for the 5:00 P.M. PST time period shall be prepared for the summer solstice period. Typically, a variety of criteria are used to determine the significance of a shadow impact, including the following: o Affected land use (criticality of direct sunlight for the use). o Duration (hours per day in shadow); time of day (critical time period for direct sunlight). o Season (time of year use would be shadowed). o Extent (percentage of use that would be shadowed). o Preexisting condition (shadow condition due to existing buildings, landscaping, or other features). o Type (solid or dappled shadow). The report shall include any feasible design considerations that would reduce the extent of shadows cast by a proposed structure. The analysis and the project design plans shall be forwarded to the Planning and Building Agency for review and approval. (Impact 4.1-5) Project Analysis and Conclusion The City determined that no impacts related to State Scenic Highways would result from implementation of the project because no scenic highways are located within the TZC area. Impacts related to visual and aesthetic quality (Impact 4.1-1) and visual character (Impact 4.1- 2) were below the level of significance and did not require mitigation. Impacts related to daytime glare (Impact 4.1-3) and spillover light (Impact 4.1-4) were less than significant with the implementation of mitigation measures. Long-term development related shade and shadows (Impact 4.1-5) were found to be significant and unavoidable and that specific economic, social, or other considerations make mitigation infeasible. Specifically, no additional feasible mitigation measures exist that would avoid or substantially reduce these impacts. Implementation of the project through the proposed adoption of the text regulations identified in Table 1 – Current and Proposed Text Regulations does not trigger new aesthetic and visual resources impacts requiring preparation of a supplemental or subsequent EIR because the project modifies the list of land uses and permit types (refer to Table 1 – Current and Proposed Text Regulations) including the deletion of industrial land uses; amend nonconforming regulations including the additional of an amortization process; amend and add operational standards for allowed uses and nonconforming uses; and delete the Industrial Overlay (I-OZ) zone from text and maps; and delete the M1 (Light Industrial) and M2 (Heavy Industrial) suffixes from certain properties within the TZC area. Thus, there are no new land uses being introduced or different development standards that would have aesthetic or visual resource impacts. In particular, the proposed amendments will establish regulations for nonconforming uses, including light and glare. These regulations and standards will cover general standards, enclosed operations, light, glare, and outdoor storage and screening. No direct or indirect glare or heat, whether from floodlights or from high-temperature processes (including combustion or welding or otherwise) shall be visible or felt at the property line. Lighting must be shielded, boxed, or directed at a downward angle so as to minimize the generation of light and glare and to assure that there is no spillover of light and glare that will impact drivers or pedestrians on the public streets, on site activities, and adjoining or nearby properties. No activity shall be permitted which causes excessive light and glare to be transmitted or reflected to surrounding properties at a level resulting in detrimental impacts to adjacent properties. Light sources shall generally not be permitted in landscaped, buffer, or setback areas except for those illuminating         City Council 24 – 207 6/3/2025 January 2025 18 Environmental Analysis pedestrian walkways. Lighting used to illuminate parking areas shall be designed, located, and installed to be shielded and downlit and to reflect away from any nearby residential areas. Lighting for advertising signs shall not create glare or light which extends to surrounding properties. Any future development within the TZC area requiring discretionary action would be subject to a project-level CEQA review at the time an application is filed for an individual project. In addition, compliance with the existing regulations and proposed regulations will assure that potential impacts are not exacerbated, which will result in a beneficial impact to aesthetics and visual resources. Mitigation measures MM4.1-1 through MM4.1-4 would continue to apply. Therefore, the project does not trigger new aesthetics impacts requiring the preparation of a subsequent or supplemental EIR. There would be no new or more significant impacts to aesthetics and visual resources. 5.2 AIR QUALITY This section analyzes the effects to air quality from implementing the proposed zoning code regulations. Would the project: a. Conflict with or obstruct implementation of the applicable air quality plan? b. Violate any air quality standard or contribute substantially to an existing or projected air quality violation? c. Result in a cumulatively considerable net increase of any criteria pollutant for which the proposed project region is in non-attainment under an applicable federal or State ambient air quality standard (including releasing emissions which exceed quantitative thresholds for ozone precursors)? d. Expose sensitive receptors to substantial pollutant concentrations? e. Create objectionable odors affecting a substantial number of people? TZC EIR Conclusions • The project would not create substantial objectionable odors. (Impact 4.2-1: Less Than Significant with mitigation) • The project would not create short-term quantities of criteria pollutants above the significance thresholds published by SCAQMD. (Impact 4.2-2: Less Than Significant with mitigation) • Operation of the project would increase local traffic volumes, but would not expose sensitive receptors to substantial localized carbon monoxide (CO) concentrations. (Impact 4.2-3: Less Than Significant without mitigation) • The anticipated population increase of 12,225 new residents as a result of the long -term cumulative development pursuant to the Transit Zoning Code is consistent with the SCAG growth projections for Santa Ana and, therefore, would not conflict with or obstruct implementation of the Air Quality Management Plan. (Impact 4.2-4: Less Than Significant without mitigation) • Construction activities associated with the construction of individual projects within the Transit Zoning Code area, including the Developer project, would contribute substantially to an existing or projected air quality violation for criteria air pollutants. (Impact 4.2-5: Significant and Unavoidable with mitigation)         City Council 24 – 208 6/3/2025 January 2025 19 Environmental Analysis • Operation of the proposed project would exceed South Coast Air Quality Management District standards for VOC, NOX, CO, and PM10 and would result in a projected air quality violation. (Impact 4.2-6: Significant and Unavoidable and no feasible mitigation) • Construction and operation of the proposed project would result in a cumulatively considerable net increase of criteria pollutants for which the proposed project region is in nonattainment under an applicable federal or state ambient air quality standard. (Impact 4.2-7: Significant and Unavoidable and no feasible mitigation) TZC EIR Mitigation Measures MM4.2-1 Trash receptacles within the Transit Zoning Code (SD 84A and SD 84B) will be required to have lids that enable convenient collection and loading and will be emptied on a regular basis, in compliance with City of Santa Ana regulations for the collection of solid waste. (Impact 4.2-1) MM4.2-2 The construction contractor should ensure that no more than 5 acres per day are actively graded or developed. (Impact 4.2-2) MM4.2-3 The construction contractor should ensure that all active disturbed surfaces should be watered three times per day throughout the construction period. (Impact 4.2-2) MM4.2-4 The construction contractor should ensure that the mass grading, fine grading, and structure construction are conducted at separate time periods and do not overlap with one another. (Impact 4.2-2) MM4.2-5 The construction contractor should ensure that all haul roads are watered three (3) times per day. (Impact 4.2-2) MM4.2-6 The construction contractor should ensure that all traffic on unpaved roads is reduced to 15 mph or less. (Impact 4.2-2) MM4.2-7 Project applicants shall require by contract specifications that all diesel-powered equipment used will be retrofitted with after-treatment products (e.g., engine catalysts) to the extent that they are readily available in the South Coast Air Basin. Contract specifications shall be included in project construction documents, which shall be reviewed by the City of Santa Ana prior to issuance of a grading permit. (Impact 4.2-5) MM4.2-8 Project applicants shall require by contract specifications that all heavy-duty diesel- powered equipment operating and refueling at the project site use low-NOX diesel fuel to the extent that it is readily available and cost effective (up to 125 percent of the cost of California Air Resources Board diesel) in the South Coast Air Basin (this does not apply to diesel-powered trucks traveling to and from the project site). Contract specifications shall be included in project construction documents, which shall be reviewed by the City of Santa Ana prior to issuance of a grading permit. (Impact 4.2-5) MM4.2-9 Project applicants shall require by contract specifications that alternative fuel construction equipment (i.e., compressed natural gas, liquid petroleum gas, and unleaded gasoline) be utilized to the extent that the equipment is readily available and cost effective in the South Coast Air Basin. Contract specifications shall be included in project construction documents, which shall be reviewed by the City of Santa Ana prior to issuance of a grading permit. (Impact 4.2-5)         City Council 24 – 209 6/3/2025 January 2025 20 Environmental Analysis MM4.2-10 Project applicants shall require by contract specifications that construction equipment engines be maintained in good condition and in proper tune per manufacturer’s specification for the duration of construction. Contract specifications shall be included in project construction documents, which shall be reviewed by the City of Santa Ana prior to issuance of a grading permit. (Impact 4.2-5) MM4.2-11 Project applicants shall require by contract specifications that construction operations rely on the electricity infrastructure surrounding the construction site rather than electrical generators powered by internal combustion engines to the extent feasible. Contract specifications shall be included in project construction documents, which shall be reviewed by the City of Santa Ana prior to issuance of a grading permit. (Impact 4.2-5) MM4.2-12 As required by South Coast Air Quality Management District Rule 403—Fugitive Dust, all construction activities that are capable of generating fugitive dust are required to implement dust control measures during each phase of project development to reduce the amount of particulate matter entrained in the ambient air. These measures include the following: o Application of soil stabilizers to inactive construction areas. o Quick replacement of ground cover in disturbed areas. o Watering of exposed surfaces three times daily. o Watering of all unpaved haul roads three times daily. o Covering all stock piles with tarp. o Reduction of vehicle speed on unpaved roads. o Post signs on-site limiting traffic to 15 miles per hour or less. o Sweep streets adjacent to the project site at the end of the day if visible soil material is carried over to adjacent roads. o Cover or have water applied to the exposed surface of all trucks hauling dirt, sand, soil, or other loose materials prior to leaving the site to prevent dust from impacting the surrounding areas. o Install wheel washers where vehicles enter and exit unpaved roads onto paved roads to wash off trucks and any equipment leaving the site each trip. (Impact 4.2-5) MM4.2-13 The developer shall require by contract specifications that construction-related equipment, including heavy-duty equipment, motor vehicles, and portable equipment, shall be turned off when not in use for more than 30 minutes. Diesel-fueled commercial motor vehicles with gross vehicular weight ratings of greater than 10,000 pounds shall be turned off when not in use for more than 5 minutes.

(Impact 4.2-5) MM4.2-21 As individual components of the Transit Zoning Code (SD 84A and SD 84B) are implemented, an air quality impact analyses will be completed to determine their independent significance levels. Mitigation is to be incorporated at the individual component level to bring the individual components to less than significant on a site-by-site basis. (Impact 4.2-6) MM4.2-22 Prior to issuance of a building permit, the applicant shall demonstrate that the design of the proposed buildings or structures exceeds current Title 24 requirements (Title 24, Part 6 of the California Code of Regulations; The Energy Commission adopted the 2008 Standards on April 23, 2008, and the Building Standards Commission approved them for publication on September 11, 2008. The 2008 Residential Compliance Manual was adopted by the Commission on December 17, 2008, and the 2008 Non-residential Compliance Manual was adopted January 14, 2009.Energy Efficiency Standards for Residential and Non Residential Buildings, as amended November 1, 2005; Cool Roof Coatings performance standards as amended September 11, 2006) by a minimum of 20 percent, subject to review by the County Building Official.

(Impact 4.2-6) MM4.2-2 through MM4.2-29 would also apply to this impact. (Impact 4.2-7) Project Analysis and Conclusion The City determined that impacts related to increased local traffic volumes (Impact 5.2-3) and SCAG growth projections (Impact 4.2-4) were below the level of significance and did not require mitigation. Impacts related to objectionable odors (Impact 4.2-1), criteria pollutants (Impact 4.2- 2), contribute to an air quality violation (Impact 4.2-5) were less than significant with the implementation of mitigation measures. Impacts related to exceeding criteria pollutants during operations (Impact 4.2-6) and construction (Impact 4.2-7) were significant and unavoidable, and that specific economic, social, or other considerations make infeasible additional mitigation. Specifically, no additional feasible mitigation measures exist that would avoid or substantially reduce these impacts.         City Council 24 – 213 6/3/2025 January 2025 24 Environmental Analysis The proposed adoption of the text regulations identified in Table 1 – Current and Proposed Text Regulations would not require preparation of a supplemental or subsequent EIR because the project modifies the list of land uses and permit types including the deletion of industrial land uses; amend nonconforming regulations including the additional of an amortization process; amend and add operational standards for allowed uses and nonconforming uses; and delete the Industrial Overlay (I-OZ) zone from text and maps; and delete the M1 (Light Industrial) and M2 (Heavy Industrial) suffixes from certain properties within the TZC area. Thus, there are no new land uses being introduced that would have air quality impacts. The proposed amendments will introduce new regulations for nonconforming industrial use that would discontinue nonconforming noxious uses, establish screening walls, eliminate vehicle servicing on Sundays. These regulations would reduce dust and lessen air quality emissions. No land use shall generate or cause any visible dust, gases, or smoke to be emitted into the atmosphere. Uses, activities, and processes shall not operate in a manner that emits dust, fumes, odors, smoke, or particulate matter, unless authorized under Federal, State, or local law. Sources of air emissions shall comply with all rules established by the Environmental Protection Agency (Code of Federal Regulations, Title 40), the California Air Resources Board, and the South Coast Air Quality Management District. These regulations will have a beneficial impact to air quality. Any future development within the TZC area requiring discretionary action would continue to be subject to a project-level CEQA review at the time an application is filed for an individual project. In addition, compliance with the existing regulations and proposed amendments will assure that potential impacts are not exacerbated, which will result in a beneficial impact to air quality. Mitigation measures MM4.2-1 through MM4.2-36 would continue to apply. Therefore, the project does not trigger new air quality impacts requiring the preparation of a subsequent or supplemental EIR. There would be no new or more severe significant impacts to air quality. 5.3 BIOLOGICAL RESOURCES This section analyzes the effects to biological resources from implementing the proposed zoning code regulations. Would the project: a. Have a substantial adverse effect, either directly or through habitat modifications, on any species identified as a candidate, sensitive, or special status species in local or regional plans, policies, or regulations, or by the California Department of Fish and Wildlife or U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service? b. Have a substantial adverse effect on any riparian habitat or other sensitive natural community identified in local or regional plans, policies, regulations or by the California Department of Fish and Game or U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service? c. Have a substantial adverse effect on federally protected wetlands (including, but not limited to, marsh, vernal pool, coastal, etc.) through direct removal, filling, hydrological interruption, or other means? d. Interfere substantially with the movement of any native resident or migratory fish or wildlife species or with established native resident or migratory wildlife corridors, or impede the use of native wildlife nursery sites? e. Conflict with any local policies or ordinances protecting biological resources, such as a tree preservation policy or ordinance? f. Conflict with the provisions of an adopted Habitat Conservation Plan, Natural Community Conservation Plan, or other approved local, regional, or state habitat conservation plan? TZC EIR Conclusions         City Council 24 – 214 6/3/2025 January 2025 25 Environmental Analysis • No endangered, rare, threatened, or special status plant species (or associated habitats) or wildlife species designated by the USFWS, CDFG, or CNPS are known to occur or expected to occur within the Transit Zoning Code (SD 84A and SD 84B) area. (DEIR Section 4.3.3: Effects Found to Have No Impact) • No riparian habitat or other sensitive natural communities are located in these areas. (DEIR Section 4.3.3: Effects Found to Have No Impact) • The Transit Zoning Code (SD 84A and SD 84B) area is not in proximity to, nor does it contain, wetland habitat or a blueline stream. (DEIR Section 4.3.3: Effects Found to Have No Impact) • The Transit Zoning Code (SD 84A and SD 84B) is surrounded by urban uses on all four sides, including two highways, and, therefore, does not function as a wildlife movement corridor. (DEIR Section 4.3.3: Effects Found to Have No Impact) • Implementation of the project would not conflict with any local policies or ordinances protecting biological resources. (DEIR Section 4.3.3: Effects Found to Have No Impact) • No conflict with an adopted habitat conservation plan, Orange County NCCP/HCP or other local, regional, or state habitat conservation plan would occur, and there would be no impact. (DEIR Section 4.3.3: Effects Found to Have No Impact) • Long-term cumulative development occurring pursuant to the Transit Zoning Code would not result in a potential reduction in nesting opportunities for resident and migratory avian species of special concern. (Impact 4.3-1: Less Than Significant without mitigation) TZC EIR Mitigation Measures MM4.3-1 To ensure that avian species of concern, protected migratory species (e.g., MBTA), or raptors species are not injured or disturbed by construction in the vicinity of nesting habitat, the project applicant shall implement the following measures: 1. Tree removal shall be restricted to the period between August 30 and February 15, to the extent feasible, to avoid the breeding season of any migratory species that could be using the area, and to discourage nesting in the vicinity of an upcoming construction area. If it is not feasible to remove trees outside this window then, prior to the beginning of mass grading, including grading for major infrastructure improvements, during the period between February 15 and August 30, all trees within 250 feet of any grading or earthmoving activity shall be surveyed for active nests by a qualified biologist no more than 30 days prior to disturbance. If active nests are found, and the site is within 250 feet of potential construction activity, a temporary fence shall be erected, where appropriate, around the tree(s) at a distance of up to 250 feet, depending on the species, from the edge of the canopy to prevent construction disturbance and intrusions on the nest area. The appropriate buffer shall be determined in consultation with the City of Santa Ana Park Naturalist or a designee. 2. No construction vehicles shall be permitted within restricted areas (i.e., protection zones), unless directly related to the management or protection of the legally protected species. 3. If a legally protected species nest is located in a tree designated for removal, the removal shall be deferred until after August 30, or until the adults and young of the year are no longer dependent on the nest site as determined by a qualified biologist. (Impact 4.3-1) Project Analysis and Conclusion         City Council 24 – 215 6/3/2025 January 2025 26 Environmental Analysis The City determined that impacts related to endangered, rare, threatened, or special status plant species or associated habitats or wildlife species, riparian habitat and sensitive natural communities, wetlands or blue line streams, wildlife movement corridors, habitat conservation plans, and biological resource policies would not have any impacts. Impacts to avian species were less than significant with implementation of the mitigation measures. The proposed adoption of the text regulations identified in Table 1 – Current and Proposed Text Regulations would not require preparation of a supplemental or subsequent EIR because the TZC area is intended to be developed for urban uses and located in an area that is completely developed for urban uses. Because TZC area is a heavily disturbed and graded area consisting of industrial and residential uses, and the project does not introduce any new types of land use, and instead removes the industrial overlay zone, there will be no impacts to biological resources. Any future development within the TZC area requiring discretionary action would be subject to a project-level CEQA review at the time an application is filed for an individual project. In addition, compliance with the existing regulations and proposed regulations will assure that potential impacts are not exacerbated, which will result in a beneficial impact to biological resources. The project does not trigger new biological resource impacts requiring the preparation of a subsequent or supplemental EIR. Mitigation measure MM4.3-1 would continue to apply. There would be no new or more significant impacts to biological resources. 5.4 CULTURAL RESOURCES This section analyzes the effects to cultural resources and tribal cultural resources from implementing the proposed zoning code regulations. Would the project: a. Cause a substantial adverse change in the significance of a historical resource as defined in §15064.5 of the CEQA Guidelines? b. Cause a substantial adverse change in the significance of an archaeological resource pursuant to §15064.5 of the CEQA Guidelines? c. Directly or indirectly destroy a unique paleontological resource or unique geologic feature? d. Disturb any human remains, including those interred outside of dedicated cemeteries? TZC EIR Conclusions • Long-term cumulative development occurring pursuant to the Transit Zoning Code could cause a substantial adverse change in the significance of an archaeological resource or disturb human remains. (Impact 4.4-1: Less Than Significant with mitigation) • Long-term cumulative development occurring pursuant to the Transit Zoning Code has the potential to directly or indirectly destroy a unique paleontological resource or unique geologic feature. (Impact 4.4-2: Less Than Significant with mitigation) • The adoption of the Transit Zoning Code (SD 84A and SD 84B) would result in substantial adverse change in the significance of a historical resource as defined in Section 15064.5 of the CEQA Guidelines. (Impact 4.4-3: Significant and Unavoidable and no feasible mitigation) TZC EIR Mitigation Measures         City Council 24 – 216 6/3/2025 January 2025 27 Environmental Analysis MM4.4-1(a) Prior to any earth-disturbing activities (e.g., excavation, trenching, grading) that could encounter undisturbed soils, the project applicant shall retain an archaeologist who meets the Secretary of the Interior’s Professional Qualifications Standards for Archaeology to determine if the project could result in a substantial adverse change in the significance of an archaeological resource pursuant to Section 15064.5 of the CEQA Guidelines or disturb human remains. The investigation shall include, as determined appropriate by the archaeologist and the City of Santa Ana, an updated records search of the South Central Coastal Information Center (SCCIC) of the California Historical Resources Information System (CHRIS), updated Native American consultation, and a pedestrian survey of the area proposed for development. The results of the investigation shall be documented in a technical report or memorandum that identifies and evaluates any archaeological resources within the development area and includes recommendations and methods for eliminating or avoiding impacts on archaeological resources or human remains. The measures shall include, as appropriate, subsurface testing of archaeological resources and/or construction monitoring by a qualified professional and, if necessary, appropriate Native American monitors identified by the applicable tribe (e.g., the Gabrieliño Tongva Nation) and/or the Native American Heritage Commission. The methods shall also include procedures for the unanticipated discovery of human remains, which shall be in accordance with Section 5097.98 of the State Public Resources Code and Section 7050.5 of California’s Health and Safety Code. The technical report or memorandum shall be submitted to the City of Santa Ana for approval. As determined necessary by the City, environmental documentation (e.g., CEQA documentation) prepared for future development within the project site shall reference or incorporate the findings and recommendations of the technical report or memorandum. The project applicant shall be responsible for implementing methods for eliminating or avoiding impacts on archaeological resources identified in the technical report or memorandum. Projects that would not encounter undisturbed soils and would therefore not be required to retain an archaeologist shall demonstrate non-disturbance to the City through the appropriate construction plans or geotechnical studies prior to any earth-disturbing activities. Projects that would include any earth disturbance (disturbed or undisturbed soils) shall comply with MM4.4-2(b). (Impact 4.4-1) MM4.4-1(b) If evidence of an archaeological site or other suspected historical resource as defined by CEQA Guidelines Section 15064.5, including darkened soil representing past human activity (“midden”), that could conceal material remains (e.g., worked stone, fired clay vessels, faunal bone, hearths, storage pits, or burials) are discovered during any project-related earth- disturbing activities (including projects that would not encounter undisturbed soils), all earth- disturbing activity within 100 feet of the find shall be halted and the City of Santa Ana shall be notified. The project applicant shall retain an archaeologist who meets the Secretary of the Interior’s Professional Qualifications Standards for Archaeology to assess the significance of the find. Impacts to any significant resources shall be mitigated to a less-than-significant level through data recovery or other methods determined adequate by the archaeologist and that are consistent with the Secretary of the Interior's Standards for Archaeological Documentation. Any identified cultural resources shall be recorded on the appropriate DPR 523 (A-L) form and filed with the SCCIC. (Impact 4.4-1) MM4.4-2(a) Prior to any earth-disturbing activities (e.g., excavation, trenching, grading) that could encounter undisturbed soils, the project applicant shall retain a professional paleontologist to determine if the project could directly or indirectly destroy a unique paleontological resource or site or unique geologic feature. The investigation shall include, as determined appropriate by the paleontologist and the City of Santa Ana, a paleontology records check and a pedestrian survey of the area proposed for development. The results of the investigation shall be documented in a technical report or memorandum that identifies the paleontological sensitivity of the development area and includes recommendations and methods for eliminating or avoiding impacts on paleontological resources or unique geologic         City Council 24 – 217 6/3/2025 January 2025 28 Environmental Analysis features. The technical report or memorandum shall be submitted to the City for approval. As determined necessary by the City, environmental documentation (e.g., CEQA documentation) prepared for future development within the project site shall reference or incorporate the findings and recommendations of the technical report or memorandum. The project applicant shall be responsible for implementing methods for eliminating or avoiding impacts on paleontological resources or unique geologic features identified in the technical report or memorandum. Projects that would not encounter undisturbed soils and would therefore not be required to retain a paleontologist shall demonstrate non-disturbance to the City through the appropriate construction plans or geotechnical studies prior to any earth-disturbing activities. Projects that would include any earth disturbance (disturbed or undisturbed soils) shall comply with MM4.4-3(b). (Impact 4.4-2) MM4.4-2(b) Should paleontological resources (i.e., fossil remains) be identified at a particular site during project construction, the construction foreman shall cease construction within 100 feet of the find until a qualified professional can provide an evaluation. Mitigation of resource impacts shall be implemented and funded by the project applicant and shall be conducted as follows: 1. Identify and evaluate paleontological resources by intense field survey where impacts are considered high 2. Assess effects on identified sites 3 Consult with the institutional/academic paleontologists conducting research investigations within the geological formations that are slated to be impacted 4. Obtain comments from the researchers 5. Comply with researchers’ recommendations to address any significant adverse effects where determined by the City to be feasible In considering any suggested mitigation proposed by the consulting paleontologist, the City of Santa Ana staff shall determine whether avoidance is necessary and feasible in light of factors such as the nature of the find, project design, costs, applicable policies and land use assumptions, and other considerations. If avoidance is unnecessary or infeasible, other appropriate measures (e.g., data recovery) shall be instituted. Work may proceed on other parts of the project site while mitigation for paleontological resources is carried out. (Impact 4.4- 2) MM4.4-3 Prior to development activities that would demolish or otherwise physically affect buildings or structures 50 years old or older or affect their historic setting, the project applicant shall retain a cultural resource professional who meets the Secretary of the Interior’s Professional Qualifications Standards for Architectural History to determine if the project would cause a substantial adverse change in the significance of a historical resource as defined in Section 15064.5 of the CEQA Guidelines. The investigation shall include, as determined appropriate by the cultural resource professional and the City of Santa Ana, the appropriate archival research, including, if necessary, an updated records search of the South Central Coastal Information Center (SCCIC) of the California Historical Resources Information System (CHRIS) and a pedestrian survey of the proposed development area to determine if any significant historic-period resources would be adversely affected by the proposed development. The results of the investigation shall be documented in a technical report or memorandum that identifies and evaluates any historical resources within the development area and includes recommendations and methods for eliminating or reducing impacts on historical resources. The technical report or memorandum shall be submitted to the City Santa Ana for approval. As determined necessary by the City, environmental documentation (e.g., CEQA documentation) prepared for future development within the project site shall reference or incorporate the findings and recommendations of the technical report or memorandum. The project applicant shall be responsible for implementing methods for eliminating or reducing impacts on historical         City Council 24 – 218 6/3/2025 January 2025 29 Environmental Analysis resources identified in the technical report or memorandum. Such methods could include, but not be limited to, written and photographic recordation of the resource in accordance with the level of Historic American Building Survey (HABS) documentation that is appropriate to the significance (local, state, national) of the resource. (Impact 4.4-3) Project Analysis and Conclusion The City determined that impacts related to archaeological resources (Impact 4.4-1) unique paleontological resources (Impact 4.4-2), and disturbing human remains were less than significant with the implementation of mitigation measures. Impacts related to historical resources (Impact 4.4-3) were found to be significant and unavoidable and that specific economic, social, or other considerations make infeasible additional mitigation. Specifically, no additional feasible mitigation measures exist that would avoid or substantially reduce these impacts. The TZC EIR states that there are 80 designated historic properties that are listed on the Santa Ana Register of Historical Properties, five that are listed on the California Points of Historical Interest, and one that is listed on the California Historical Landmarks within and adjacent to the TZC area. The TZC area has already been subject to extensive disruption from previous development and may contain artificial fill materials. The proposed adoption of the text regulations identified in Table 1 – Current and Proposed Text Regulations would not require preparation of a supplemental or subsequent EIR because specific development projects are neither included nor required, nor would the project introduce new land uses that would have impact to cultural or tribal cultural resources that could otherwise make the long-term significant and unavoidable historical resource impacts more severe. Any future development within the TZC area requiring discretionary action would continue to be subject to a project-level CEQA review at the time an application is filed for an individual project. In addition, compliance with the existing regulations and proposed amendments will assure that potential impacts are not exacerbated. Mitigation measures MM4.4-1(a), MM4.4- 1(b), MM4.4-2(a), MM4.2(b), and MM4.4-3 would continue to apply. In addition, compliance with the existing regulations and proposed regulations identified in Table 1 – Current and Proposed Text Regulations will assure that potential impacts are not exacerbated, which will result in a beneficial impact to cultural resources. Therefore, the project does not trigger new cultural or tribal cultural resource impacts requiring the preparation of a subsequent or supplemental EIR. There would be no new or more severe significant impacts to cultural and tribal cultural resources. 5.5 HAZARDS AND HAZARDOUS MATERIALS This section analyzes the effects to hazards and hazardous materials from implementing the proposed zoning code regulations. Would the project: a. Create a significant hazard to the public or the environment through the routine transport, use, or disposal of hazardous materials? b. Create a significant hazard to the public or the environment through reasonably foreseeable upset and accident conditions involving the release of hazardous materials into the environment?         City Council 24 – 219 6/3/2025 January 2025 30 Environmental Analysis c. Emit hazardous emissions or handle hazardous or acutely hazardous materials, substances, or waste within one-quarter mile of an existing or proposed school? d. Be located on a site which is included on a list of hazardous materials sites compiled pursuant to Government Code Section 65962.5 and, as a result, would it create a significant hazard to the public or the environment? e. For a project located within an airport land use plan or, where such a plan has not been adopted, within two miles of a public airport or public use airport, would the project result in a safety hazard for people residing or working in the project area? f. For a project within the vicinity of a private airstrip, would the project result in a safety hazard for people residing or working in the project area? g. Impair implementation of or physically interfere with an adopted emergency response plan or emergency evacuation plan? h. Expose people or structures to a significant risk of loss, injury, or death involving wildland fires, including where wildlands are adjacent to urbanized areas or where residences are intermixed with wildlands? TZC EIR Conclusions • A private airstrip/heliport is not known to be located within the Transit Zoning Code (SD 84A and SD 84B) area, nor is the Transit Zoning Code (SD 84A and SD 84B) area located in close proximity to a private airstrip/heliport. (DEIR Section 4.5.3: Effects Found to Have No Impact) • The Transit Zoning Code (SD 84A and SD 84B) area is located in a dense urban environment and is surrounded by existing development. There are no wildland areas, nor wildland interface areas located in the vicinity. Consequently, no wildland fires would affect, or be affected by, implementation of the proposed Transit Zoning Code (SD 84A and SD 84B). (DEIR Section 4.5.3: Effects Found to Have No Impact) • Long-term cumulative development occurring pursuant to the Transit Zoning Code could involve the transportation, use, storage, and/or disposal of hazardous materials, such as diesel exhaust. (Impact 4.5-1: Less Than Significant without mitigation) • Construction activities associated with implementation of the proposed Transit Zoning Code (SD 84A and SD 84B) would result in the release of hazardous materials to the environment through reasonably foreseeable upset and accident conditions. (Impact 4.5-2: Less Than Significant with mitigation) • Construction activities associated with the implementation of the Transit Zoning Code would result in the handling of hazardous materials, substances, or waste within one- quarter mile of an existing school. (Impact 4.5-3: Less Than Significant without mitigation) • The Transit Zoning Code (SD 84A and SD 84B) includes sites which are included on a list of hazardous materials sites and as a result, would create a significant hazard to the public or environment. (Impact 4.5-4: Less Than Significant with mitigation) • Construction activities associated with the implementation of the Transit Zoning Code could result in a safety hazard for people residing or working in the project area. (Impact 4.5-5: Less Than Significant with mitigation) • The Transit Zoning Code could impair the implementation of, or physically interfere with, an adopted emergency response plan or emergency evacuation plan resulting in a significant impact. (Impact 4.5-6: Less Than Significant with mitigation)         City Council 24 – 220 6/3/2025 January 2025 31 Environmental Analysis TZC EIR Mitigation Measures MM4.5-1 When sites that are listed in the EDR Report initiate project development, the project applicant shall prepare a Phase I ESA for the proposed site. The Phase I ESA shall be prepared in accordance with ASTM E-1527-05 “Standard Practice for Environmental Site Assessments: Phase I Environmental Site Assessment Process” (November 1, 2006). The purpose of a Phase I ESA is to identify environmental conditions at a proposed project site that may suggest environmental contamination. The Phase I ESA report shall be prepared by a CA EPA Registered Environmental Assessor or similarly qualified individual prior to initiating any construction activities at the site. If recommended in the Phase I ESA, the project sponsor shall undertake (or require the responsible party to undertake) a Phase II ESA soil sampling plan; or if any environmental contamination is identified by the Phase I ESA, the project sponsor shall implement (or require the responsible party to implement) the recommendations of the report to further investigate and to remove any soil contamination. (Impact 4.5-2) MM4.5-2 In the event that previously unknown or unidentified soil and/or groundwater contamination that could present a threat to human health or the environment is encountered during construction in the Transit Zoning Code (SD 84A and SD 84B) area, construction activities in the immediate vicinity of the contamination shall cease immediately. If contamination is encountered, a Risk Management Plan shall be prepared and implemented that (1) identifies the contaminants of concern and the potential risk each contaminant would pose to human health and the environment during construction and post-development and (2) describes measures to be taken to protect workers, and the public from exposure to potential site hazards. Such measures could include a range of options, including, but not limited to, physical site controls during construction, remediation, long-term monitoring, post-development maintenance or access limitations, or some combination thereof. Depending on the nature of contamination, if any, appropriate agencies shall be notified (e.g., Santa Ana Fire Department). If needed, a Site Health and Safety Plan that meets Occupational Safety and Health Administration requirements shall be prepared and in place prior to commencement of work in any contaminated area. (Impact 4.5-2) MM4.5-3 Prior to the demolition of structures that were constructed before 1980, a thorough investigation shall be completed to determine if asbestos, lead, or PCBs exist on the site. All demolition that could result in the release of lead and/or asbestos must be conducted according to Cal/OSHA standards. (Impact 4.5-2) MM4.5-4 For development of structures that exceed 200 feet in height above ground level at a development site, applicants shall file a Notice of Proposed Construction or Alteration with the FAA (FAA Form 7460-1). Following the FAA’s aeronautical evaluation of the project, projects must comply with conditions of approval imposed or recommended by the FAA. Subsequent to the FAA findings, the project shall be reviewed by the ALUC for consistency analysis. (Impact 4.5-5) MM4.5-5 Prior to initiation of construction activities, any development within the Transit Zoning Code (SD 84A and SD 84B) Area shall have a completed traffic control plan, prepared by the project proponent that will be implemented during construction activities. This may include, but is not limited to, the maintenance of at least one unobstructed lane in both directions on surrounding roadways. At any time if only a single lane is available, the developer shall provide a temporary traffic signal, signal carriers (i.e., flagpersons), or other appropriate traffic controls to allow travel in both directions. If construction activities require the complete closure of a roadway segment, the developer shall provide appropriate signage indicating alternative routes. (Impact 4.5-6)         City Council 24 – 221 6/3/2025 January 2025 32 Environmental Analysis MM4.5-6 The City Public Works Department shall consult with the Santa Ana Police Department and the Santa Ana Fire Department to disclose temporary closures and alternative travel routes in order to ensure adequate access for emergency vehicles when construction of future projects would result in temporary land or roadway closures. (Impact 4.5-6) MM4.5-7 The Santa Ana Fire Department, in consultation with other applicable City Departments (e.g., Police), shall update their Emergency Preparedness Plan prior to occupancy of the first project developed under the Transit Zoning Code (SD 84A and SD 84B), to address the potential for the accidental release of hazardous materials that may be used, stored, and/or transported in association with operation of project implementation. (Impact 4.5-6) MM4.5-8 Project applicants shall submit evacuation plans on a project by project basis that shall be reviewed and approved by the City Police and Fire Departments. (Impact 4.5-6) Project Analysis and Conclusion The City determined that impacts related to people residing or working in the vicinity of a private airstrip/heliport and wildland areas would have no impact (DEIR Section 4.5.3: Effects Found to Have No Impact). Impacts related to transportation, storage and disposal of hazardous materials (Impact 4.5-1) and handling of hazardous materials near a school (Impact 4.5-3) were below the level of significance and did not require mitigation. Impacts related to reasonably upset of hazardous materials into the environment (Impact 4.5-2), hazardous materials sites (Impact 4.5-4), construction safety hazards for people or residing in the TZC area (Impact 4.5- 5) and interference with an adopted emergency response plan (Impact 4.5-6) were less than significant with the implementation of mitigation measures. The proposed adoption of the text regulations identified in Table 1 – Current and Proposed Text Regulations would not require preparation of a supplemental or subsequent EIR because specific development projects are neither included nor required. The new regulations would require that no material or waste shall be deposited upon a subject parcel in such form or manner that it may be transferred off the parcel by natural causes or forces and that all materials or wastes which might cause fumes or dust, or which constitute a fire hazard, or which may be edible by or otherwise be attractive to rodents or insects shall be stored outdoors only in closed containers. Land or buildings shall not be used or occupied in any manner so as to create any fire, explosive or other hazard. All activities involving the use or storage of combustible, explosive, caustic, or otherwise hazardous materials shall comply with all applicable local, State, and Federal safety standards and shall be provided with adequate safety devices against the hazard of fire and explosion, and adequate firefighting and fire suppression equipment in compliance with City of Santa Ana regulations. The burning of waste materials in open fires without written approval of the Fire Department is prohibited. No activities shall be permitted which emit dangerous radioactivity at any point nor shall electrical disturbances which adversely affect the operation of any equipment, other than that of the creator of such disturbances, be allowed. No use, activity or process shall cause electromagnetic interference with normal radio and television reception, or with the function of other electronic equipment beyond the property line of the site in which it is situated. All uses, activities and processes shall comply with applicable Federal Communications Commission regulations. Any future development within the TZC area requiring discretionary action would continue to be subject to a project-level CEQA review at the time an application is filed for an individual project. Mitigation measures MM4.5-1 through MM4.5-8 would continue to apply. Therefore, the project does not trigger new hazards and hazardous materials impacts requiring the preparation of a subsequent or supplemental EIR. In addition, compliance with the existing regulations and         City Council 24 – 222 6/3/2025 January 2025 33 Environmental Analysis proposed amendments will assure that potential impacts to hazards and hazardous materials are not exacerbated. There would be no new or more severe significant impacts to hazards and hazardous materials. 5.6 HYDROLOGY AND WATER QUALITY This section analyzes the effects to hydrology and water quality from implementing the proposed zoning code regulations. Would the project: a. Violate any water quality standards or waste discharge requirements? b. Substantially deplete groundwater supplies or interfere substantially with groundwater recharge such that there would be a net deficit in aquifer volume or a lowering of the local groundwater table level (e.g., the production rate of pre-existing nearby wells would drop to a level that would not support existing land uses or planned uses for which permits have been granted)? c. Substantially alter the existing drainage pattern of the site or area, including through the alteration of the course of stream or river, in a manner that would result in substantial erosion or siltation on or off site? d. Substantially alter the existing drainage pattern of the site or area, including through the alteration of the course of a stream or river, or substantially increase the rate or amount of surface runoff in a manner that would result in flooding on or off site? e. Create or contribute runoff water which would exceed the capacity of existing or planned stormwater drainage systems or provide substantial additional sources of polluted runoff? g. Otherwise substantially degrade water quality? h. Place housing within a 100-year flood hazard area as mapped on a federal Flood Hazard Boundary or Flood Insurance Rate Map or other flood hazard delineation map? i. Place within a 100-year flood hazard area structures, which would impede or redirect flood flows? j. Expose people or structures to a significant risk of loss, injury, or death involving flooding, including flooding as a result of the failure of a levee or dam? k. Expose people or structures to a significant risk of loss, injury, or death involving inundation by seiche, tsunami, or mudflow? TZC EIR Conclusions • The Transit Zoning Code (SD 84A and SD 84B) area is not located within a 100-year flood hazard area as mapped on a federal Flood Hazard Boundary or Flood Insurance Rate Map or other flood hazard delineation map, and is not within the 100-year or 500- year flood hazard area. (DEIR Section 4.6.3: Effects Found to Have No Impact) • The Transit Zoning Code (SD 84A and SD 84B) area is not within the 100-year flood hazard area, (DEIR Section 4.6.3: Effects Found to Have No Impact) • The Transit Zoning Code (SD 84A and SD 84B) area is not located in the flood inundation area of the Prado Dam or the Santiago Dam. (DEIR Section 4.6.3: Effects Found to Have No Impact) • The proposed Transit Zoning Code (SD 84A and SD 84B) would not expose people to a significant risk of loss, injury, or death involving inundation by a seiche, tsunami, or mudflow because the project site is not located near a coastal area, large water body, or         City Council 24 – 223 6/3/2025 January 2025 34 Environmental Analysis unstable and exposed hills or slopes. (DEIR Section 4.6.3: Effects Found to Have No Impact) • Implementation of the Transit Zoning Code would not violate water quality standards, waste discharge, or otherwise substantially degrade water quality. (Impact 4.6-1: Less Than Significant with mitigation) • The majority of the Transit Zoning Code (SD 84A and SD 84B) area is already developed and because the project area is not used for groundwater recharge, the operation of future development under the proposed project would not interfere substantially with groundwater recharge. (Impact 4.6-2: Less Than Significant without mitigation with mitigation) • Development under the Transit Zoning Code (SD 84A and SD 84B) could alter the existing drainage pattern of the area and potentially result in erosion and siltation. (Impact 4.6-3: Less Than Significant) • Future development in the Transit Zoning Code (SD 84A and SD 84B) could alter the existing drainage pattern and potentially result in increased downstream flooding through the addition of impervious surfaces, or exceeding the capacity of existing or planned stormwater drainage systems. (Impact 4.6-4: Less Than Significant with mitigation) TZC EIR Mitigation Measures MM4.6-1 In order to comply with the current version of the Drainage Area Master Plan (DAMP), future development projects in the Transit Zoning Code (SD 84A and SD 84B) area shall prepare Storm Drain Plans, Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plans (SWPPP), and Water Quality Management Plans (WQMP) conforming to the current National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) requirements, prepared by a Licensed Civil Engineer or Environmental Engineer, shall be submitted to the Public Works Agency for review and approval. a. A SWPPP shall be prepared and updated as needed during the course of construction to satisfy the requirements of each phase of the development. The plan shall incorporate all necessary Best Management Practices (BMPs) and other City requirements to eliminate polluted runoff until all construction work for the project is completed. The SWPPP shall include treatment and disposal of all dewatering operation flows, and for nuisance flows during construction. The SWPPP may include, but would not necessarily be limited to, the following applicable measures: o Minimum required pavement widths for residential streets needed to comply with all zoning and applicable ordinances o Use permeable materials for private sidewalks, driveways, parking lots, or interior roadway surfaces o Reduce the overall imperviousness associated with parking lots by using pervious materials in spillover parking areas o Direct rooftop runoff to pervious areas and avoid routing rooftop runoff to the roadway or the stormwater conveyance system o Biofilters including vegetated swales and strips o Extended/dry detention basins o Infiltration basin o Infiltration trenches or vaults o Catch basin inserts         City Council 24 – 224 6/3/2025 January 2025 35 Environmental Analysis o Continuous flow deflection/separation systems o Storm drain inserts o Media filtration o Foundation planting o Catch basin screens o Normal flow storage/separation systems o Clarifiers o Filtration systems o Primary waste water treatment systems o Dry Wells o Cistern b. A WQMP shall be prepared, maintained, and updated as needed to satisfy the requirements of the adopted NPDES program. The plan shall incorporate water quality measures for all improved phases of the project. (Impact 4.6-1 and Impact 4.6-3) MM4.6-2 Prior to issuance of grading permits for future development projects in the Transit Zoning Code (SD 84A and SD 84B) area, applicants shall submit site-specific Hydrology and Hydraulic Studies to the Public Works Department for review and approval. If existing facilities are not adequate to handle runoff that may be generated by the proposed development, then the applicant shall propose feasible remedies to assure that adequate drainage facilities will be available prior to issuance of occupancy permits. The applicant may propose storm drain improvements to be constructed in order to meet project needs. If necessary storm drain upgrades cannot be implemented prior to issuance of occupancy permits, on site detention facilities or other methods acceptable to the City shall be included with new development projects to ensure that post-construction runoff does not exceed pre-development quantities. (Impact 4.6-4) MM4.6-3 During the design of individual projects, applicants shall minimize impervious area by incorporating landscaped areas over substantial portions of a proposed project area. Furthermore, impervious areas shall be directly connected to landscaped areas or bioretention facilities to promote filtration and infiltration of stormwater. (Impact 4.6-4) MM4.6-4 During the design of individual projects, applicants shall control structural source through storm drain stenciling and signage, coverage of trash area to minimize direct precipitation, efficient irrigation to minimize runoff into stormwater conveyance system, slope and channel protection to decrease potentials for erosions of slopes, and use of deep-rooted, drought tolerant plant species for erosion control. (Impact 4.6-4) Project Analysis and Conclusion The City determined that impacts related to within a 100-year flood hazard area, flood inundation area, inundation from the Prado Dam, a seiche, tsunami, or mudflow would have no impacts (DEIR Section 4.6-3). Impacts related to interference with groundwater recharge (Impact 4.5-1), alteration to existing drainage patterns (Impact 4.6-3) and increased downstream flooding (Impact 4.6-4) were less than significant with the implementation of mitigation measures. The proposed adoption of the text regulations identified in Table 1 – Current and Proposed Text Regulations would not require preparation of specific development projects, introduce new land uses nor increase the intensity the existing uses. The new regulations would require liquid or         City Council 24 – 225 6/3/2025 January 2025 36 Environmental Analysis solid wastes discharged from future development projects be properly treated and would therefore not pollute or contaminate any water courses or groundwater. Any future development within the TZC area requiring discretionary action would continue to be subject to a project-level CEQA review at the time an application is filed for an individual project. Mitigation measures MM4.6-1 through MM4.6-4 would continue to apply. Therefore, the project does not trigger new hydrology and water quality impacts requiring the preparation of a subsequent or supplemental EIR. In addition, compliance with the existing regulations and proposed amendments will assure that potential impacts are not exacerbated. Therefore, there would be no new or more severe significant impacts to hydrology and water quality. 5.7 LAND USE This section analyzes the effects on land use from implementing the proposed zoning code regulations. Would the project: a. Introduce new land uses that would result in conflicts of use? b. Physically divide an established community? c. Conflict with any applicable land use plan, policy, or regulation of an agency with jurisdiction over the project (including, but not limited to the general plan, specific plan, local coastal program, or zoning ordinance) adopted for the purpose of avoiding or mitigating an environmental effect.? d. Conflict with any applicable habitat conservation plan or natural community conservation plan? TZC EIR Conclusions • The Transit Zoning Code (SD 84A and SD 84B) area is not located within either a natural community plan or applicable habitat conservation plan. The Transit Zoning Code (SD 84A and SD 84B) area does not contain any critical or sensitive habitat. (DEIR Section 4.6.3: Effects Found to Have No Impact) • The Transit Zoning Code (SD 84A and SD 84B) would not result in conflicts of use. (Impact 4.7-1: Less Than Significant without mitigation) • The proposed Transit Zoning Code (SD 84A and SD 84B) would not physically divide an established community. (Impact 4.7-2: Less Than Significant without mitigation) • The proposed Transit Zoning Code (SD 84A and SD 84B) would conflict with the Santa Ana General Plan by adopting standards and land uses not currently allowed within the proposed Transit Zoning Code (SD 84A and SD 84B) area; however, as part of the proposed project, the General Plan would be amended to incorporate the proposed land uses and development standards. (Impact 4.7-3: Less Than Significant without mitigation) TZC EIR Mitigation Measures All impacts were below the level of significance and mitigation measures are not necessary nor recommended.         City Council 24 – 226 6/3/2025 January 2025 37 Environmental Analysis Project Analysis and Conclusion The City determined that impacts related to conflicts with a natural community plan or applicable habitat conservation plan would have no impacts (DEIR Section 4.6.3: Effects Found to Have No Impact). Impacts related to incompatible land uses (Impact 4.7-1), potential to divide an established community (Impact 4.7-2), and conflicts with the Santa Ana General Plan (Impact 4.7-3) were below the level of significance and did not require mitigation. The proposed zoning ordinance amendments are consistent with various goals and policies of the Santa Ana General Plan, as required by Government Code Section 65860, by timely addressing current inconsistencies within an area of the City prioritized for addressing environmental justice and impacts were found to be less than significant. In effect, the amendments are necessary to address numerous policies of the General Plan that the current TZC is found to be inconsistent with, that without such amendments, will continue the path of irreconcilable land use patterns within the TZC area. Specifically, these policies include Policy LU-1.1 (Compatible Uses), Policy LU-2.4 (Cost and Benefit of Development), Policy LU-3.8 (Sensitive Receptors), Policy LU-3.9 (Noxious, Hazardous, Dangerous, and Polluting Uses), Policy LU-3.11 (Air Pollution Buffers), Policy LU-4.3 (Sustainable Land Use Strategies), Policy LU-4.6 (Healthy Living Conditions), Policy CM-3.2 (Healthy Neighborhoods), Policy EP-1.9 (Avoid Conflict of Uses), Policy EP-3.3 (Mitigate Impacts), Policy CN-1.5 (Sensitive Receptor Decisions), Policy CM-3.2 (Healthy Neighborhoods), and Policy HE-5.5 (Community Development), which are targeted at correcting past land use planning practices that have placed an unequitable environmental and health burden on certain neighborhoods now termed disadvantaged communities. The proposed amendments support these goals and policies by: • Fostering the compatibility between residential and nonresidential land uses within the TZC to enhance livability and promote healthier lifestyles. • Resolving the conflict of industrial land uses and sensitive receptors being in close proximity to each other that pose health hazards by eliminating an overlay zone that promulgated continuation of industrial uses without recourse. • Improving the health of the existing and future residents of the TZC by regulating the operations of noxious, hazardous, dangerous, and polluting uses by giving priority to the discontinuance of those uses. • Responding to overarching EJ policies to develop and implement land use and zoning strategies to separate existing sensitive uses from heave industrial facilities and emission sources. • Continuing to support the creation of healthy neighborhoods by addressing land use conflicts and incompatible uses through the elimination of the I-OZ zone and associated industrial land use types from the list of allowable land uses within the TZC. • Developing and adopting new regulations to address facilities that emit high levels increased pollution near sensitive receptors within EJ (Environmental Justice) area boundaries, which includes areas of the TZC. • Avoiding potential land use conflicts in the future by prohibiting the location of noxious land uses in proximity to sensitive receptors • Creating a sustainable land use plan for the area that phases out land uses that are causing a substantial drain on City and other public agency resources in addressing the impacts from irreconcilable land use conflicts in the TZC area.         City Council 24 – 227 6/3/2025 January 2025 38 Environmental Analysis Additionally, the proposed amendments implement and/or contribute to achieving the following specific action programs of the General Plan, most particularly directly addressing LU3.3 through discontinuing nonconforming industrial uses through amortization: LU1.1 - Development Code Update. Prepare a comprehensive update to the zoning code to ensure that the City’s zoning regulations align with the General Plan’s goals and policies. Update the Metro East Mixed-Use Overlay District to remove the portion within the 17th Street and Grand Avenue Focus Area. Update the Midtown Specific Plan. LU3.3 - Healthy lifestyles. Collaborate with residents and industry stakeholders to create a program to incentivize and amortize the removal of existing heavy industrial uses adjacent to sensitive uses. CN1.4 - Health risk criteria. Establish criteria for requiring health risk assessments for existing and new industries, including the type of business, thresholds, and scope of assessment. Review existing and establish new regulation to reduce and avoid increased pollution near sensitive receptors within environmental justice area boundaries. CN1.7 - Truck idling. Evaluate strategies to reduce truck idling found or reported in areas with sensitive receptors, with a priority placed on environmental justice areas. CN1.11 - Public education. Augment existing outreach programs to improve public awareness of State, regional and local agencies’ roles and resources to identify, monitor, and address air quality and other environmental hazards in the community. HE5.C – Healthy Neighborhoods Initiatives. Update the City’s zoning code development and operational standards for industrial zones to address incompatibility with adjacent uses, including minimum distance requirements to buffer heavy industrial uses from sensitive receptors. Conduct a study to evaluate and establish appropriate minimum distances and landscape buffers between polluting industrial uses from sensitive receptors such as residences. HE44.A – Fair Housing. Ensure all City programs and activities relating to housing and community development are administered in a manner that affirmatively furthers fair housing. Implementation of the proposed adoption of the text regulations identified in Table 1 – Current and Proposed Text Regulations does not trigger new land use impacts that might otherwise occur with a development project requiring preparation of a supplemental or subsequent EIR. The new regulations would provide that any nonconforming business that operates in an unlawful manner, including but not limited to, frequent code violations, police calls, or loitering complaints, or is not in good standing with the City, including, but limited to constant service calls or lapses in Business License renewal, will lose its nonconforming status, enabling the City to take corrective action as it deems appropriate, including business license revocation or terminating utility services or connections. For the purposes of this section, “frequent” is defined as more than one violation, call, or complaint per month during any twelve month period, and “constant service calls” is defined as more than one service call per month during any twelve (12) month period. Thus, the project would not physically divide an established community, or conflict with any land use plan, policy, or regulation adopted for the purpose of avoiding or mitigating an environmental impact. In addition, compliance with the existing regulations and proposed amendments will assure that potential impacts are not exacerbated. Therefore, the project does not trigger new land use impacts requiring the preparation of a subsequent or supplemental EIR. There would be no new or more severe significant impacts to land use.         City Council 24 – 228 6/3/2025 January 2025 39 Environmental Analysis 5.8 NOISE This section analyzes the effects to noise from implementing the proposed zoning code regulations. Would the project: a. Expose persons to or generate noise levels in excess of standards established in the local general plan or noise ordinance, or applicable standards of other agencies? b. Expose persons to or generate excessive groundborne vibration or groundborne noise levels? c. Cause a substantial permanent increase in ambient noise levels in the project vicinity above levels existing without the project? d. Cause a substantial temporary or periodic increase in ambient noise levels in the project vicinity above levels existing without the project? TZC EIR Conclusions • The project is not located within an airport land use plan or within 2 miles of a public airport or public use airport. (DEIR Section 4.8.3: Effects Found to Have No Impact) • Construction activities associated with the proposed project would generate noise levels that exceed the noise standards established by the City of Santa Ana Municipal Code. (Impact 4.8-1: Less Than Significant with mitigation) • Operation of the proposed project could expose noise-sensitive land uses to noise levels that exceed the standards established by the City of Santa Ana General Plan. (Impact 4.8-2: Less Than Significant with mitigation) • Operation of the proposed project would not expose sensitive receptors on or off site to excessive groundborne vibration or groundborne noise levels, (Impact 4.8-3: Less Than Significant without mitigation) • Occupants of the proposed residential units would not be exposed to potentially significant vibration levels. (Impact 4.8-4: Less Than Significant without mitigation) • Physical impact from an increase in ambient noise levels could occur from the construction activities associated with the proposed project, an adverse effect on the nearby residents would not occur. (Impact 4.8-5: Less Than Significant) • No temporary or periodic noise impacts to on- or off-site receptors due to operation of the project. (Impact 4.8-6: Less Than Significant without mitigation) • Operation of the proposed project would not generate increased local traffic volumes that would cause a substantial permanent increase in ambient noise levels in the project vicinity. (Impact 4.8-7: Less Than Significant without mitigation)Operation of the Southern California Regional Rail Authority’s (SCRRA) rail line would potentially expose noise-sensitive land uses located within the Transit Zoning Code (SD 84A and SD 84B) area to noise levels that exceed the standards established by the City of Santa Ana General Plan. (Impact 4.8-8: Significant and Unavoidable and no feasible mitigation) • Construction activities associated with the proposed project would generate or expose persons or structures to excessive groundborne vibration. (Impact 4.8-9: Significant and Unavoidable and no feasible mitigation) TZC EIR Mitigation Measures         City Council 24 – 229 6/3/2025 January 2025 40 Environmental Analysis MM4.8-1 All construction activity within the City shall be conducted in accordance with Section 18-314(e) of the City of Santa Ana Municipal Code. (Impact 4.8-1 and Impact 4.8-9) MM4.8-2 Each project applicant shall require by contract specifications that the following construction best management practices (BMPs) be implemented by contractors to reduce construction noise levels: Two weeks prior to the commencement of construction, notification must be provided to property owners within 300 feet of a project site disclosing the construction schedule, including the various types of activities that would be occurring throughout the duration of the construction period Ensure that construction equipment is properly muffled according to industry standards and be in good working condition Place noise-generating construction equipment and locate construction staging areas away from sensitive uses, where feasible Schedule high noise-producing activities between the hours of 8:00 A.M. and 5:00 P.M. to minimize disruption on sensitive uses Implement noise attenuation measures, which may include, but are not limited to, temporary noise barriers or noise blankets around stationary construction noise sources Use electric air compressors and similar power tools rather than diesel equipment, where feasible Construction-related equipment, including heavy-duty equipment, motor vehicles, and portable equipment, shall be turned off when not in use for more than 30 minutes Construction hours, allowable workdays, and the phone number of the job superintendent shall be clearly posted at all construction entrances to allow for surrounding owners and residents to contact the job superintendent. If the City or the job superintendent receives a complaint, the superintendent shall investigate, take appropriate corrective action, and report the action taken to the reporting party. Contract specifications shall be included in the proposed project construction documents, which shall be reviewed by the City prior to issuance of a grading permit. (Impact 4.8-1) MM4.8-3 Each project applicant shall require by contract specifications that construction staging areas along with the operation of earthmoving equipment within the project area would be located as far away from vibration and noise sensitive sites as possible. Contract specifications shall be included in the proposed project construction documents, which shall be reviewed by the City prior to issuance of a grading permit. (Impact 4.8-1 and Impact 4.8-9) MM4.8-4 Each project applicant shall require by contract specifications that heavily loaded trucks used during construction would be routed away from residential streets. Contract specifications shall be included in the proposed project construction documents, which shall be reviewed by the City prior to issuance of a grading permit. (Impact 4.8-1 and Impact 4.8-9) MM4.8-5 When residential uses would be located in areas with noise levels in excess of 60 dBA CNEL (either through conversion of use/structure or new construction), the project applicant shall provide noise barriers around private open space areas, including patios and balconies, as necessary. The height and density of the barriers shall be sufficient to reduce the exterior noise levels within private open space areas to a CNEL of 65 dBA or less. (Impact 4.8-2)         City Council 24 – 230 6/3/2025 January 2025 41 Environmental Analysis MM4.8-6 Prior to issuance of building permits, building plans shall specify the STC rating of windows and doors for all residential land uses. Window and door ratings shall be sufficient to reduce the interior noise level to a CNEL of 45 dBA or less, and shall be determined by a qualified acoustical consultant as part of the final engineering design of the project. (Impact 4.8- 2) MM4.8-7 Each project applicant shall provide proper shielding for all new HVAC systems used by the proposed residential and mixed use buildings to achieve an attenuation of 15 dBA at 50 feet from the equipment. (Impact 4.8-2) MM4.8-8 The City shall provide a written statement to each applicant for projects located within 400 feet of the SCRRA tracks that shall be provided for each residential unit and resident, notifying them of potential noise and vibration issues associated with the railroad tracks, including the following: Notice of Disclosure Each owner’s [or renter’s] interest is subject to the fact that trains operate at different times of the day and night on the railway tracks immediately adjacent to a project site; and that by accepting the conveyance of an interest [or lease agreement] in that project, owner [or renter] accepts all impacts generated by the trains. Posting of Notice of Disclosure in each residential unit. Prior to offering the first residential unit for purchase, lease, or rent, the property owner or developer shall post a copy of the Notice of Disclosure in every unit in a conspicuous location. Also, a copy of the Notice of Disclosure shall be included in all materials distributed for the Project, including but not limited to: the prospectus, informational literature, and residential lease and rental agreements. (Impact 4.8-8) Project Analysis and Conclusion The City determined that no impacts related to the proximity public use airport would not result in impacts would result. Impacts related to exposure of sensitive receptors from excessive groundborne vibration (Impact 4.8-3), potentially significant vibration levels (Impact 4.8-4), ambient noise increase (Impact 4.8-5), periodic noise impacts (Impact 4.8-6), and noise from increased traffic volumes (Impact 4.8-7) were below the level of significance and did not require mitigation. Impacts from noise levels exceeding City noise standards (Impact 4.8-1) and exposure to noise-sensitive land uses (Impact 4.8-2) were less than significant with the implementation of mitigation measures. Impacts causing groundborne vibration and development exposure near the Southern California Regional Rail Authority’s (SCRRA) rail line (Impact 4.8-8) and construction activities from project implementation (Impact 4.8-9) were found to be significant and unavoidable. Specific economic, social, or other considerations make infeasible additional mitigation. Specifically, no additional feasible mitigation measures exist that would avoid or substantially reduce these impacts. The proposed adoption of the text regulations identified in Table 1 – Current and Proposed Text Regulations would not require preparation of a supplemental or subsequent EIR because specific development projects are neither included nor required. The new regulations would limit daily operations times and days of week, and maximum noise that could be generated from existing uses. No industrial use shall generate ground vibration perceptible without instruments at any point along the property line of the site except for motor vehicle operations. No vibration shall be produced that is transmitted through the ground and is discernible without the aid of instruments by a reasonable person at the property lines of the site. Vibrations from temporary construction, demolition, and vehicles that enter and leave the subject parcel are exempt from this standard.         City Council 24 – 231 6/3/2025 January 2025 42 Environmental Analysis Any future development within the TZC area requiring discretionary action would continue to be subject to a project-level CEQA review at the time an application is filed for an individual project. Mitigation measures MM4.8-1 through MM4.8-8 would continue to apply. In addition, compliance with the existing regulations and proposed amendments will assure that potential impacts are not exacerbated. This will result in a beneficial impact. Therefore, the existing less than significant and significant and unavoidable noise impacts would not result in new or different impacts. 5.9 POPULATION, HOUSING AND EMPLOYMENT This section analyzes the effects to population, housing and employment from implementing the proposed zoning code regulations. Would the project: a. Induce substantial unplanned population growth in an area, either directly (for example, by proposing new homes and businesses) or indirectly (for example, through extension of roads or other infrastructure)? b. Displace substantial numbers of existing housing, necessitating the construction of replacement housing elsewhere? c. Displace substantial numbers of people, necessitating the construction of replacement housing elsewhere? TZC EIR Conclusions • Implementation of the proposed project would accommodate projected population and housing growth. (Impact 4.9-1: Less Than Significant without mitigation) • Construction of development projects pursuant to the Transit Zoning Code (SD 84A and SD 84B) could displace existing people or housing. However, this displacement would not necessitate the construction of additional replacement housing elsewhere. (Impact 4.9-2: Less Than Significant without mitigation) TZC EIR Mitigation Measures All impacts were below the level of significance and mitigation measures are not necessary nor recommended. Project Analysis and Conclusion The City determined that impacts related to accommodating population and housing growth Impact 4.9-1) and displacement of existing housing (Impact 4.9-2) were below the level of significance and did not require mitigation. Any future development within the TZC area requiring discretionary action would continue to be subject to a project-level CEQA review at the time an application is filed for an individual project. The proposed adoption of the text regulations identified in Table 1 – Current and Proposed Text Regulations would not require development of housing units. The new regulations would provide architectural standards to any future development that would regulate the manner in which individual parcels and blocks are developed to create diverse and pedestrian-oriented development that would be consistent with the TZC area. In addition, there shall be no increase in the number of dwelling units unless the site on which the structure is         City Council 24 – 232 6/3/2025 January 2025 43 Environmental Analysis located complies with the off-street parking and open space requirements of the SAMC. Therefore, the existing less than significant population, housing and employment impacts would not result in new or different impacts nor would it increase unplanned growth and does not trigger new population and housing impacts requiring the preparation of a subsequent or supplemental EIR. 5.10 PUBLIC SERVICES This section analyzes the effects to public services and recreational and park facilities from implementing the proposed zoning code regulations. Would the project: a. Result in substantial adverse physical impacts associated with the provision of new or physically altered governmental facilities, or the need for new or physically altered governmental facilities, the construction of which could cause significant environmental impacts, in order to maintain acceptable service ratios, response times or other performance objectives for fire protection? b. Result in substantial adverse physical impacts associated with the provision of new or physically altered governmental facilities, or the need for new or physically altered governmental facilities, the construction of which could cause significant environmental impacts, in order to maintain acceptable service ratios, response times or other performance objectives for police protection? c. Result in substantial adverse physical impacts associated with the provision of new or physically altered governmental facilities, or the need for new or physically altered governmental facilities, the construction of which could cause significant environmental impacts, in order to maintain acceptable service ratios, response times or other performance objectives for schools? d. Result in substantial adverse physical impacts associated with the provision of new or physically altered governmental facilities, or the need for new or physically altered governmental facilities, the construction of which could cause significant environmental impacts, in order to maintain acceptable service ratios, response times or other performance objectives for library services? e. Result in substantial adverse physical impacts associated with the provision of new or physically altered governmental facilities, or the need for new or physically altered governmental facilities, the construction of which could cause significant environmental impacts, in order to maintain acceptable service ratios, response times or other performance objectives for park services? TZC EIR Conclusions • Construction of new projects pursuant to the Transit Zoning Code (SD 84A and SD 84B) would increase the demand for fire protection services, but it would not require the construction of new or physically altered facilities to accommodate the increased demand or maintain acceptable response times. (Impact 4.10-1: Less Than Significant with mitigation) • Operation of the proposed project would increase the demand for police services, thereby requiring additional staffing, although it would not require the construction of new or physically altered facilities or personnel to accommodate the increased demand. (Impact 4.10-2: Less Than Significant with mitigation) • Construction of new residential units within the project area would generate new students that could require the addition of new classroom facilities, thereby requiring         City Council 24 – 233 6/3/2025 January 2025 44 Environmental Analysis new or physically altered facilities to accommodate additional students in Santa Ana Unified School District (SAUSD) schools. (Impact 4.10-3: Less Than Significant) • Construction of new residential units within the project area would generate new library users that could require the addition of new library facilities. (Impact 4.10-4: Less Than Significant without mitigation) • All properties identified as having new development potential to be built out pursuant to the provisions of the Transit Zoning Code (SD 84A and SD 84B) these new projects would generate a need for new or physically altered park facilities in order to maintain acceptable service ratios. (Impact 4.10-5: Less Than Significant without mitigation) TZC EIR Mitigation Measures MM4.10-1 Prior to an issuance of a building permit, individual projects in the Transit Zoning Code (SD 84A and SD 84B) area shall perform a water supply, fire flow test and fire protection system design analysis to ensure that proposed projects are in accordance to meet standard fire protection design requirements. (Impact 4.10-1) MM4.10-2 Any development that would exceed two stories in height shall submit site-specific security plans to the SAPD for review prior to issuance of a building permit. (Impact 4.10-2) MM4.10-3 No developer within the Transit Zoning Code (SD 84A and SD 84B) boundaries shall utilize a frequency of 800 MHz, which is reserved for emergency services. (Impact 4.10-2) MM4.10-4 Individual project developers shall pay school impact fees prior to the issuance of occupancy permits. (Impact 4.10-3) MM4.10-5 Prior to issuance of a building permit for a residential development project, or change of use from non-residential to residential within the Transit Zoning Code (SD 84A and SD 84B) area, project applicants shall pay to the City of Santa Ana the Park Acquisition and Development Fee. (Impact 4.10-5) Project Analysis and Conclusion The City determined that impacts related to the provision of library services (Impact 4.10-4) and recreation park facilities (Impact 4.10-5) were below the level of significance and did not require mitigation. Impacts related to fire services (Impact 4.10-1), Police services (Impact 4.10-2) and generation of new school children (Impact 4.10-3) were less than significant with the implementation of mitigation measures. Any future development within the TZC area requiring discretionary action would continue to be subject to a project-level CEQA review at the time an application is filed for an individual project. Mitigation measures MM4.10-1 through MM4.10-5 would continue to apply. The proposed adoption of the text regulations identified in Table 1 – Current and Proposed Text Regulations would not require preparation of a supplemental or subsequent EIR because specific development projects are neither included nor required. In addition, compliance with the existing regulations and proposed amendments will assure that potential impacts are not exacerbated, which will result in a beneficial impact to public services. Therefore, the existing less than significant and significant and public services impacts would not result in new or different impacts. 5.11 TRANSPORTATION         City Council 24 – 234 6/3/2025 January 2025 45 Environmental Analysis This section analyzes the effects on transportation from implementing the proposed zoning code regulations. Would the project: a. Cause an increase in traffic which is substantial in relation to the existing traffic load and capacity of the street system (i.e., result in a substantial increase in either the number of vehicle trips, the volume to capacity ratio on roads, or congestion at intersections)? b. Exceed, either individually or cumulatively, a level of service standard established by the county congestion management agency for designated roads or highways? c. Result in a change in air traffic patterns, including either an increase in traffic levels or a change in location that results in substantial safety risks? d. Substantially increase hazards due to a design feature (e.g., sharp curves or dangerous intersections) or incompatible uses (e.g., farm equipment)? e. Result in inadequate emergency access? f. Result in inadequate parking capacity g. Conflict with adopted policies, plans, or programs supporting alternative transportation (e.g., bus turnouts, bicycle racks) TZC EIR Conclusions • Operation of the proposed project would result in impacts related to neighborhood traffic in the adjacent residential areas to the Transit Zoning Code (SD 84A and SD 84B) area. (Impact 4.11-1: Less Than Significant with mitigation) • Long-term cumulative development pursuant to the implementation of the Transit Zoning Code would exceed standards established by the Orange County Transportation Authority within the study area. (Impact 4.11-2: Less Than Significant without mitigation) • Development projects constructed pursuant to the standards contained within the Transit Zoning Code would not result in a change in air traffic patterns. (Impact 4.11-3: Less Than Significant) without mitigation • Development projects constructed pursuant to the Transit Zoning Code would not increase hazards due to a design future or incompatible uses. (Impact 4.11-4: Less Than Significant without mitigation) • Development projects constructed pursuant to the Transit Zoning Code could result in inadequate emergency access. (Impact 4.11-5: Less Than Significant without mitigation) • Long-term cumulative development under the implementation of the Transit Zoning Code would not result in inadequate parking capacity. (Impact 4.11-6: Less Than Significant without mitigation) • The Transit Zoning Code would not conflict with adopted policies, plans, or programs supporting alternative transportation. (Impact 4.11-7: Less Than Significant) • Long-term cumulative development under implementation of the Transit Zoning Code would cause an increase in traffic which is substantial in relation to the existing traffic load and capacity of the street system. (Impact 4.11-8: Less Than Significant with mitigation) • Long-term cumulative development under implementation of the Transit Zoning Code would result in impacts related to freeway ramps in the vicinity of the Transit Zoning         City Council 24 – 235 6/3/2025 January 2025 46 Environmental Analysis Code area. (Impact 4.11-9: Less Than Significant with mitigation and Significant and Unavoidable due to a public agency (Caltrans) approval other than the City) TZC EIR Mitigation Measures MM4.11-1 The City of Santa Ana shall, during any roadway improvement within the Transit Zoning Code boundaries, evaluate, consider, and implement as appropriate the traffic calming measure(s), including but not limited to the following: o Curb extensions at local intersections o Short medians at entries to wide streets o Traffic circles at oversized intersections o Speed humps o Turn restrictions (Impact 4.11-1) MM4.11-2 As part of the project, the City of Santa Ana and the project sponsors shall work with the transit providers to implement various transit-related measures to improve and expand bus system service within the Transit Zoning Code (SD 84A and SD 84B) area. These measures may include, but are not limited to, the following: o Adding bus stops to the Transit Zoning Code (SD 84A and SD 84B) area along existing roadways o Changing bus service headways to respond to increased demand o Changing bus service destinations to respond to changing demand o Adding local shuttle service for employees and patrons of the Transit Zoning Code (SD 84A and SD 84B) area o The details of bus service improvements shall be determined in coordination with OCTA. The following recommendations would help encourage public transit patronage for project-related trips: o Bus Stop Locations—Relocation of existing bus stops and the provision of additional bus stops should be considered to accommodate transit users at convenient locations. o Days of Operation—The City should work with OCTA to consider changes to route times to serve nighttime and weekend project visitors and employees. o Headway—The City should work w would be appropriate to reduce them Code (SD 84A and SD 84B) area. MM4.11-3 The City of Santa Ana Public Works Agency shall monitor the traffic signals within the Transit Zoning Code study area once every five years to ensure that traffic signal timing is optimized. (Impact 4.11-8) MM4.11-4 The City of Santa Ana shall institute a program for systematic mitigation of impacts as development proceeds within the Transit Zoning Code to ensure mitigation of the individual improvements. The program shall prescribe the method of participation in the mitigation program by individual projects and guide the timely implementation of the mitigation measures. The program shall include the following elements: A funding and improvement program should be established to identify financial resources adequate to construct all identified mitigation measures in a timely basis. All properties that redevelop within the Transit Zoning Code should participate in the program on a fair share per new development trip basis. The fair share should be based upon the total cost of all identified mitigation measures, divided by the peak hour trip generation increase forecast.         City Council 24 – 236 6/3/2025 January 2025 47 Environmental Analysis This rate per peak hour trip should be imposed upon the incremental traffic growth for any new development within the Transitioning Code. The program should raise funds from full development of the Transit Zoning Code to fund all identified mitigation measures. The program should monitor phasing development of the Transit Zoning Code and defer or eliminate improvements if the densities permitted in the Transit Zoning Code are not occurring. Program phasing should be monitored through preparation of specific project traffic impact studies for any project that is expected to include more than 100 dwelling units or 100,000 sf of non-residential development. Traffic impact studies should use traffic generation rates that are deemed to be most appropriate for the actual development proposed. Properties within Santa Ana and within one-half mile of the Transit Zoning Code that redevelop to result in higher traffic generation should also participate in the program to insure equity. The City may elect to implement appropriate mitigation measures as a condition of approval of the proposed developments, where appropriate. All or part of the costs of these improvements may be considered to be a negotiated credit toward the program, however the program must be administered in a manner that assures that it can fund necessary improvements to maintain adequate level of service at all intersections within this study. If funding of priority improvements cannot be assured, credit for construction of lower priority improvements may not be assured or may be postponed until more program funds are available. (Impact 4.11-8) MM4.11-5 Main Street at First Street—Install a second northbound and southbound left-turn lanes and a dedicated northbound right-turn lane for 2030 and 2035 conditions. (Impact 4.11-8) MM4.11-6 Lacy Street at Santa Ana Boulevard—Install a traffic signal and provide exclusive left-turn lane for both northbound and southbound directions for both 2030 and 2035 conditions. (Impact 4.11-8) MM4.11-7 Lacy Street at First Street—Install a traffic signal for both 2030 and 2035 conditions, a traffic signal, and provide exclusive left-turn lane for both northbound and southbound directions for both 2030 and 2035 conditions. (Impact 4.11-8) MM4.11-8 Santiago Street at Washington Avenue—Install a traffic signal and provide one exclusive left-turn lane for both eastbound and westbound traffic for 2035 conditions only. (Impact 4.11-8) MM4.11-9 Santiago Street at Civic Center Drive—Install a traffic signal and provide: one exclusive left-turn lane, one through lane, and one shared through and right-turn lane on northbound and southbound approaches; and one exclusive left-turn lane and one shared through and right lane on eastbound and westbound approaches. The improvement is only needed for 2035 conditions. (Impact 4.11-8) MM4.11-10 Santiago Street at Santa Ana Drive—Construct a second southbound left-turn lane for 2035 conditions. The improvement is only needed for 2035 conditions. (Impact 4.11-8) MM4.11-11 Santiago Street a Fourth Street—Install a traffic signal. The lane configuration for the signal is recommended as 1 Left, 1 Through, 1 Through+ Right for all approaches. (Impact 4.11-8)         City Council 24 – 237 6/3/2025 January 2025 48 Environmental Analysis MM4.11-12 Standard Street at First Street—Construct third eastbound and westbound shared through-right lanes for 2035 conditions. The improvement is only needed for 2035 conditions. (Impact 4.11-8) MM4.11-13 Grand Avenue at Santa Ana Boulevard—Construct a third southbound through lane and eastbound right-turn overlap signal phasing. (Impact 4.11-8) MM4.11-14 Grand Avenue at First Street—Construct a third eastbound shared through/right- turn lane, a third westbound shared through/right-turn lane, and a third northbound through lane with dedicated northbound right-turn lane for 2035 conditions. The improvement is only needed for 2035 conditions. (Impact 4.11-8) MM4.11-15 Grand Avenue at I-5 Northbound Ramps—Construct a second westbound right-turn lane and for the I-5 northbound off ramp under both 2030 and 2035 conditions.

The improvement shall be implemented to mitigate 2035 conditions. (Impact 4.11-9) Project Analysis and Conclusion The City determined that impacts related to exceeding standards from the Orange County Transportation Authority (Impact 4.111-2), change in air traffic patterns (Impact 4.11-3), hazards due to a design future or incompatible uses (Impact 4.11-4), inadequate emergency access (Impact 4.11-5), inadequate parking capacity (Impact 4.11-6), and alternative transportation (Impact 4.11-7) were below the level of significance and did not require mitigation. Impacts related to neighborhood traffic (Impact 4.11-1) and traffic increases to the existing traffic load (Impact 4.11-8) were less than significant with the implementation of mitigation measures. Impacts related to development near freeway ramps (Impacts 4.11-9) were found to be significant and unavoidable and that specific economic, social, or other considerations make infeasible additional mitigation. Specifically, no additional feasible mitigation measures exist that would avoid or substantially reduce these impacts. Any future development within the TZC area requiring discretionary action would continue to be subject to a project-level CEQA review at the time an application is filed for an individual project. Mitigation measures MM4.11-1 through MM4.11-16 would continue to apply. The proposed adoption of the text regulations identified in Table 1 – Current and Proposed Text Regulations would not require preparation of a supplemental or subsequent EIR because specific development projects are neither included nor required. The new regulations would provide recharging spaces for electric vehicles. Also, all truck parking areas must be on paved surfaces and the parking, loading or unloading of trucks associated with a business on public streets is prohibited. In addition, compliance with the existing regulations and proposed amendments will assure that potential impacts are not exacerbated. This will result in a beneficial impact to transportation. Therefore, the existing less than significant and significant and unavoidable transportation impacts would not result in new or different impacts. 5.12 UTILITIES AND SERVICE SYSTEMS This section analyzes the effects to utilities and service systems from implementing the proposed zoning code regulations. Would the project:         City Council 24 – 238 6/3/2025 January 2025 49 Environmental Analysis a. Require or result in the construction of new water treatment facilities or expansion of existing facilities, the construction of which could cause significant environmental effects? b. Require new or expanded water entitlements and resources if there are not sufficient water supplies available to serve the project from existing entitlements and resources? TZC EIR Conclusions • Long-term cumulative development pursuant to the Transit Zoning Code (SD 84A and SD 84B) would generate an additional demand for water, but would not require water supplies in excess of existing entitlements and resources or result in the need for new or expanded entitlements. (Impact 4.12-1: Less Than Significant without mitigation) • Long-term cumulative development pursuant to the Transit Zoning Code (SD 84A and SD 84B) would not require or result in the construction of new or expanded water treatment facilities, the construction of which could cause significant environmental effects. (Impact 4.12-2: Less Than Significant)without mitigation • Long-term cumulative development pursuant to the Transit Zoning Code (SD 84A and SD 84B) would not exceed wastewater treatment requirements of the Orange County Sanitation District. (Impact 4.12-3: Less Than Significant without mitigation) • Long-term cumulative development pursuant to the Transit Zoning Code (SD 84A and SD 84B) could require the construction of new or expanded wastewater conveyance systems, the construction of which would not cause significant environmental effects. (Impact 4.12-4: Less Than Significant with mitigation) • Long-term cumulative development pursuant to the Transit Zoning Code (SD 84A and SD 84B) would not increase wastewater generation such that treatment facilities would be inadequate to serve the project’s projected demand in addition to the provider’s existing commitments. (Impact 4.12-5: Less Than Significant without mitigation) • Long-term cumulative development pursuant to the Transit Zoning Code would not generate solid waste that exceeds the permitted capacity of landfills serving the area. (Impact 4.12-6: Less Than Significant without mitigation) • Long-term cumulative development under the implementation of the Transit Zoning Code (SD 84A and SD 84B) would comply with all applicable federal, state, and local statutes and regulations related to solid waste. (Impact 4.12-7: Less Than Significant without mitigation) • Long-term cumulative development pursuant to the Transit Zoning Code (SD 84A and SD 84B) would increase the demand for electricity and gas, but would not require or result in the construction of new energy production or transmission facilities, the construction of which could cause a significant environmental impact. (Impact 4.12-8: Less Than Significant without mitigation) TZC EIR Mitigation Measures MM4.12-1 Individual project applicants shall prepare site-specific sewer evaluations, including flow monitoring and modeling, during the project design to determine the adequacy of the existing sewer pipe capacity in the affected project area lines. The evaluation shall be submitted to the City of Santa Ana or OCSD, as appropriate, for review and approval prior to issuance of building permits. Any recommendations made in the site-specific sewer evaluations shall be incorporated into the design of each individual project. (Impact 4.12-4)         City Council 24 – 239 6/3/2025 January 2025 50 Environmental Analysis MM4.12-2 Individual non-residential project applicants are encouraged to apply for Southern California Edison’s “Savings By Design” program. The program is aimed at generating an overall reduction in energy use through design methods and incentive programs by maintaining a 15% or greater exceedance of Title 24. (Impact 4.12-8) MM4.12-3 Individual development projects within the boundaries of the Transit Zoning Code (SD 84A and SD 84B) shall implement energy conservation measures (such as energy-efficient lighting and microprocessor controlled HVAC equipment) to reduce the demand for electricity and natural gas as part of the project design. The energy conservation measures shall be subject to modification as new technologies are developed, or if current technology becomes obsolete, through replacement and shall be reviewed by the Planning and Building Agency prior to issuance of a building permit. (Impact 4.12-8) MM4.12-4 Individual development projects within the boundaries of the Transit Zoning Code (SD 84A and SD 84B) shall implement energy conservation measures (such as energy-efficient lighting and microprocessor controlled HVAC equipment) to reduce the demand for electricity and natural gas as part of the project design. The energy conservation measures shall be subject to modification as new technologies are developed, or if current technology becomes obsolete, through replacement and shall be reviewed by the Planning and Building Agency prior to issuance of a building permit. (Impact 4.12-8) Project Analysis and Conclusion The City determined that impacts related to additional water demand (Impact 4.12-1), expanded water treatment facilities (Impact 4.12-2), exceed wastewater treatment requirements (Impact 4.12-3), increase wastewater generation (Impact 4.12-5), generate solid waste exceeding permitted capacity (Impact 4.12-6), and compliance with applicable federal, state, and local solid waste regulations (Impact 4.12-7) were below the level of significance and did not require mitigation. Impacts related to new or expanded wastewater conveyance systems (Impact 4.12- 4) and an increased demand for electricity and gas (Impact 4.12-8) were less than significant with the implementation of mitigation measures. Any future development within the TZC area requiring discretionary action would continue to be subject to a project-level CEQA review at the time an application is filed for an individual project. Mitigation measures MM4.12-1 through MM4.12-4 would continue to apply. The new regulations identified in Table 1 – Current and Proposed Text Regulations would provide any nonconforming business that operates in an unlawful manner, including but not limited to, frequent code violations, police calls, or loitering complaints, or is not in good standing with the City, including, but limited to constant service calls or lapses in Business License renewal, will lose its nonconforming status, enabling the City to take corrective action as it deems appropriate, including business license revocation or terminating utility services or connections. Also, in addition, compliance with the existing regulations and proposed amendments will assure that potential impacts are not exacerbated which will result in a beneficial impact to utilities and service systems. Therefore, the existing less than significant utilities and service systems impacts would not result in new or different impacts requiring the preparation of a subsequent or supplemental EIR. 5.13 GLOBAL CLIMATE CHANGE This section analyzes the effects to global climate change from implementing the proposed zoning code regulations. Would the project:         City Council 24 – 240 6/3/2025 January 2025 51 Environmental Analysis a. Generate greenhouse gas emissions, either directly or indirectly, that may have a significant impact on the environment? b. Generate greenhouse gas emissions, conflict with any applicable plan, policy or regulation of an agency adopted for the purpose of reducing the emissions of greenhouse gas? TZC EIR Conclusions • Long-term cumulative development pursuant to the Transit Zoning Code at full build-out would result in significant localized air quality impacts for operational level emissions. As a whole, this impact is significant for operational emissions due to the size of the Transit Zoning Code (SD 84A and SD 84B) area. (Impact 4.13-1: Significant and Unavoidable and no feasible mitigation) • Long-term cumulative development pursuant to the Transit Zoning Code at full build-out has the potential to conflict with AB 32. The Project as a whole is significant for operational emissions due to the size of the Transit Zoning Code (SD 84A and SD 84B) area.

In addition, the computerized irrigation system shall also consider the ability to be equipped with flow-sensing capabilities, thus automatically shutting down the irrigation system in the event of a mainline break or broken head. These features will assist in conserving water, eliminating the potential of slope failure due to mainline breaks, and eliminating over-watering and flooding due to pipe and/or head breaks. (Impact 4.3-1) MM4.13-21 Consideration of installation of solar roofs on homes and businesses to offset the increasing demand for energy and natural gas. (Impact 4.3-1) MM4.13-22 Project applicants shall, where feasible, incorporate passive solar design features into the buildings, which may include roof overhangs or canopies that block summer shade, but that allow winter sun, from penetrating south facing windows. (Impact 4.3-1) MM4.13-23 Use Energy Efficient Roofing Materials. All roofing materials used in commercial/retail buildings at the Mixed-Use Retail Development shall be Energy Star® certified. All roof products shall also be certified to meet American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM) high emissivity requirements. (Impact 4.3-1) MM4.13-24 All commercial/industrial projects shall, where feasible, include up to 10% renewable energy sources within the project. (Impact 4.3-1)         City Council 24 – 243 6/3/2025 January 2025 54 Environmental Analysis MM4.13-1 through MM4.13-24 would also apply to this impact. (Impact 4.3-2) Project Analysis and Conclusion The City determined that long-term development related to localized air quality impacts from operational emissions (Impact 4.13-1) and operational emissions due to the size of the TZC area with the potential to conflict with AB 32 (Impact 4.13-2) were found to be significant and unavoidable and that specific economic, social, or other considerations make infeasible additional mitigation. Specifically, no additional feasible mitigation measures exist that would avoid or substantially reduce these impacts. Any future development within the TZC area requiring discretionary action would continue to be subject to a project-level CEQA review at the time an application is filed for an individual project Mitigation measures MM 4.13-1 through MM4.13.24 would continue to apply. The new regulations in Table 1 – Current and Proposed Text Regulations would provide that no land use shall generate or cause any visible dust, gases, or smoke to be emitted into the atmosphere and that uses, activities, and processes shall not operate in a manner that emits dust, fumes, odors, smoke, or particulate matter, unless authorized under Federal, State, or local law. This will result in a beneficial impact to climate change/greenhouse gas emissions. Therefore, the existing significant and unavoidable global climate change impacts would not result in new or different impacts requiring the preparation of a subsequent or supplemental EIR. 5.14 MANDATORY FINDINGS OF SIGNIFICANCE Would the project: a. Does the project have the potential to substantially degrade the quality of the environment, substantially reduce the habitat of a fish or wildlife species, cause a fish or wildlife population to drop below self-sustaining levels, threaten to eliminate a plant or animal community, reduce the number or restrict the range of a rare or endangered plant or animal or eliminate important examples of the major periods of California history or prehistory? b. Does the project have potential to achieve short-term environmental goals to the disadvantage of long-term environmental goals? c. Does the project have impacts that are individually limited, but cumulatively considerable? (“Cumulatively considerable” means that the incremental effects of a project are considerable when viewed in connection with the effects of past projects, the effects of other current projects, and the effects of probable future projects)? d. Does the project have environmental effects which will cause substantial adverse effects on human beings, either directly or indirectly? As detailed herein, on the basis of substantial evidence in the light of the whole record, a Subsequent or Supplemental EIR is not appropriate for the project because none of the criteria permitting such a document under State CEQA Guidelines section 15162 are met. Project implementation does not include nor require implementation of specific development projects. The majority of the City is urbanized, with residential and nonresidential development, and mobility and public facilities all contributing to Santa Ana’s existing built environment. The proposed text amendments to SAMC Sections 41-2001, 41-2001.5, 41-2002, 41-2004, 41- 2005, 41-2006, 41-2008, 41-2009, and 41-2008 would merely update to clarify that the         City Council 24 – 244 6/3/2025 January 2025 55 Environmental Analysis regulations apply to existing uses, further limit some rehabilitation of existing buildings and structures, clarify the effects of amendments to the TZC, further limit certain existing operations to ensure greater compatibility between residential and non-residential land uses, and to establish regulations for operation of any existing, legally established, nonconforming industrial uses. Section 41-2001.5 is updated to encompass new SAMC Section 21-2009, which establishes regulations for operation of any existing, legally established, nonconforming industrial use. Section 41-2004 deletes the Overlay I-OZ zone from the text and map. Implementation of these SAMC amendments would not require implementation of any specific developments or direct physical changes to the environment, and therefore would not be in conflict with the GPU and no intensification of land uses would result. The City of Santa Ana, which includes the TZC area, is not within a NCCP/HCP area, and therefore would not conflict with an adopted NCCP/HCP plan. No direct or indirect substantial adverse effects on human beings would occur. 5.15 CONCLUSION This project proposes amendments to the Transit Zoning Code (SD-84) by way of ZOA No. 2024-02 and AA No. 2024-03. These proposed amendments would modify the list of land uses and permit types including the deletion of industrial land uses; amend nonconforming regulations including the addition of an amortization process; amend and add operational standards for allowed uses and nonconforming uses; delete the Industrial Overlay (I-OZ) zone from text and maps; and delete the M1 (Light Industrial) and M2 (Heavy Industrial) suffixes from certain properties within the SD-84 Zoning District boundary as designated on the City of Santa Ana Zoning Map. Refer to Section 3.0 – Description of the Proposed Project. This project would not result in new or more severe environmental impacts than previously addressed in the TZC FEIR, nor has any new information regarding the potential for new or more severe significant environmental impacts have been identified because the project basically limits industrial uses and would not lead to the expansion or intensification of new, expanded or more intensive uses. Therefore, there will be no new or more severe impacts as the result of the implementation of this project, beyond the impacts that have already been analyzed in the TZC FEIR. In taking action on any of the approvals, the decision-making body of the lead agency must consider the whole of the data presented in the TZC FEIR. As outlined in this Addendum analysis, all impacts of the project were fully examined in the TZC FEIR, and the proposed changes do not require substantial changes to the prior-certified EIR or previously adopted mitigation measures. Therefore, the preparation of an Addendum to the existing certified EIR is the appropriate CEQA document to support the City’s consideration of the project, as outlined in CEQA Guidelines Sections 15162 and 15164.         City Council 24 – 245 6/3/2025 Ordinance No. NS-XXX Page 1 of 49 ORDINANCE NO. NS-XXXX AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF SANTA ANA APPROVING ZONING ORDINANCE AMENDMENT NO. 2024-02, AMENDING CERTAIN SECTIONS OF CHAPTER 41 (ZONING) OF ARTICLE XIX OF THE SANTA ANA MUNICIPAL CODE RELATED TO THE REGULATIONS, OVERLAY DISTRICTS AND MAPS IN THE TRANSIT ZONING CODE/SPECIFIC DEVELOPMENT (SD) NO. 84 ZONING DISTRICT; MODIFYING THE AUTHORIZED LAND USES AND PERMIT TYPES; ESTABLISHING REVISED NONCONFORMING USE REGULATIONS, INCLUDING THE ADDITION OF AN AMORTIZATION/TERMINATION OF USE PROCESS AND ADDING OPERATIONAL STANDARDS FOR CERTAIN PERMITTED AND NONCONFORMING USES THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF SANTA ANA HEREBY ORDAINS AS FOLLOWS: Section 1.

The Executive Director of the Planning and Building Agency, or designee, in conjunction with other City Departments and Agencies, may establish, and periodically update, a list or data resource that identifies categories of nonconforming uses or structures with specific metrics and operational characteristics, to develop a ranking system for use in the consideration of eliminating nonconforming uses or structures through amortization. 3. The determination of an appropriate amortization period for termination of a nonconforming use pursuant to this Article shall be made by a Hearing Officer retained by the City and who has professional legal and land use experience to address amortization. The Hearing Officer shall order nonconforming uses and structures to be discontinued and removed from their sites within a period determined pursuant to the process set forth in Subsection b (Establishment of Amortization Periods), and consider the following: A. If the nonconforming user has not made a substantial investment in furtherance of the use or structure, or if the investment can be substantially utilized or recovered through a currently permitted use, the order may require a nonconforming use or structure to be discontinued and removed from their site within a minimum of one year after the date of the order. B. If the nonconforming user has made a substantial investment in furtherance of the use or structure, or if the investment cannot be substantially utilized or recovered through a currently permitted use, the order may require the discontinuation and removal of the nonconforming use or structure within a longer reasonable amount of time. C. Nonconforming uses or structures that are determined to be an imminent threat to the public health or safety may be subject to immediate cessation and removal, pursuant to Chapter 1 (General Provisions) of the SAMC. 4. Nonconforming uses and structures may also, upon order from the City or a court order, be subject to immediate cessation and removal of the nonconforming use or structure. b. Establishment of Amortization Periods. Where a period during which a nonconforming use or structure is to be discontinued and removed from a         City Council 24 – 253 6/3/2025 Ordinance No. NS-XXX Page 9 of 49 site or sites is required pursuant to this Article, such period shall be established as follows: 1.

Notice of the hearing shall be provided to the owner or operator of the nonconforming use or structure and the property owner at least ten (10) days prior to the hearing. Additional notice may also be provided to surrounding property owners and/or tenants, at the discretion of the Executive Director of the Planning and Building Agency, or designee. 3. The Hearing Officer shall consider the recommendations submitted by the Executive Director of the Planning and Building Agency, the General Plan of the City, and any testimony or evidence provided during the hearing, in order to determine the amortization schedule for elimination of the nonconforming use or structure. 4. The Hearing Officer shall establish a maximum amortization period during which the nonconforming use or structure shall be permitted to continue after considering the following in relation to the use or structure: A. The amount of investment or original cost of the use or structure; B. The present actual or depreciated value of the use or structure; C. The remaining useful life of the use or structure; D. The remaining term of the lease (if applicable); E. The date or dates of construction; F. Amortization of the business or structure for tax purposes; G. The salvage value; H. Adaptability of the land and improvements to a currently permitted use; I. Cost of moving and reestablishing the use elsewhere; J. Compatibility with the existing land use patterns and densities of the surrounding neighborhood;         City Council 24 – 254 6/3/2025 Ordinance No. NS-XXX Page 10 of 49 K. The threat to the public health, safety, and welfare posed by the continuance of the nonconforming use or structure; L. Calls for service to applicable response agencies; M. Notices of violation, administrative warnings, or other notices of noncompliance arising from or related to the nonconforming use issued by a Federal, State, or local agency, including the City; and N. Other factors as appropriate. c. Hearing Officer Determination and Compliance. The determination of the Hearing Officer shall be made in writing and shall be final. 1. Notice of Amortization and Termination of Use. The Executive Director of the Planning and Building Agency, or designee, shall give notice by certified mail of the date upon which an amortization period will end to each owner of record whose property, or use of property, is not in conformance with the regulations of this Article, in those instances where an amortization period has been determined pursuant to this Article. Such notice shall be sent within ten (10) days of the termination of any appeal period. If the amortization period ends before or less than six (6) months after providing such notice, the notice shall be given that the amortization period in each instance shall be not less than six (6) months from the date the notice is sent. The notice shall set forth all pertinent provisions of this Article, including the declared purposes thereof and the approved amortization term. Failure to send notice by mail to any such owner where the address of such owner is not a matter of public record shall not invalidate any proceedings under this Article. The Executive Director of the Planning and Building Agency, or designee, shall be authorized record a Notice of Amortization Term & Termination of Use with the County Recorder, as provided for in California Government Code Section 27201(a). 2. Notice of Termination and Order to Comply and Conclusion of Amortization Period. Notice of Termination of a nonconforming use and order to comply shall be served by the Executive Director of the Planning and Building Agency, or designee, at the end of the amortization period upon the owner of record whose property contains such nonconforming use. In those instances, where the Executive Director of the Planning and Building Agency, or designee, is unable with reasonable effort to serve such notice to the property owner, such notice and order shall be served within thirty (30) days of the end of the amortization period by delivering same to an occupant of the structure containing the nonconforming use.         City Council 24 – 255 6/3/2025 Ordinance No. NS-XXX Page 11 of 49 3. Request for a Continuance of Nonconformities Beyond Period of Amortization Period. A request for a continuance of nonconformities beyond the period of amortization may be granted as follows: a. Grounds for Continuance.

Appeals. Appeals shall be filed in accordance with Chapter 3 of the Santa Ana Municipal Code. 4. Failure to Comply with Hearing Officer’s Determination. Failure to comply with the Hearing Officer’s determination to discontinue a nonconforming use or structure shall constitute a violation of this Chapter and is subject to fines and enforcement provisions of Sec. 1-8 of the SAMC. 5. Failure to Terminate Use at Conclusion of Amortization Period. The failure to terminate a nonconforming use at the conclusion of an approved amortization period shall be deemed a public nuisance in accordance with California Government Code, Section 38771. The City is hereby authorized to abate the nuisance in accordance with Chapter 17 of this Code or may pursue any alternative remedy to abate the use authorized by this Code or State law. d. Additional Administrative Policies and Procedures.

Section 41-2006 (Zones Established) of Chapter 41 of the Santa Ana Municipal Code is hereby amended, including the replacement of Figure 2.1, to read as follows: “Sec. 41-2006. Zones Established (a) Purpose. This section establishes the zones app lied to property within the plan area by the Regulating Plan. The Regulating Plan divides the plan area into separate zones that are based on a transect of intensity within the plan area that ranges from the most urban types of development and land use to the least urban types, with most zones providing for a significant mixture of land uses within them. This approach differs from conventional zoning maps that typically divide cities into zones that rigidly segregate residential, commercial, industrial, an d institutional uses into separate areas, and thereby require residents to drive for nearly all daily activities. The use of zones based on development intensity (instead of land use zones) as the spatial basis for regulating development, directly reflects the functions of, and interrelationships between, each part of the plan area. The zones also effectively implement the City’s urban design objectives for each part of the plan area, to establish and maintain attractive distinctions between each zone. This is why some parcels are zoned with more than one zone. In such cases, the zoning is divided along a clear boundary such as the middle of a block. The zones of this Regulating Plan allocate architectural types, frontage types, and land uses within the plan area, as well as providing detailed standards for building placement, height and profile. The diagram to the right Figure 2.1 identifies the eight (8) 9 zones applied within the plan area as they relate to existing rights -of- way and parcels. (b) Zones established. The following zones are applicable to this specific plan, and applied to property within the boundary as shown on the Regulating Plan. (1) Transit Village (TV) Zone. The Transit Village zone is intended to provide standards for compact transit - supportive mixed-use/residential development. This zone is characterized by a wide range of building intensity, including mixed-use tower-on-podium buildings, flex blocks, liners, stacked flats, and courtyard housing. The zone accommodates retail, restaurant, entertainment, and other pedestrian-oriented uses at street level, with offices and flats above in the mixed -use building types, at high intensities and densities. The landscape palette is urban, with shading         City Council 24 – 259 6/3/2025 Ordinance No. NS-XXX Page 15 of 49 and accent street trees in parkway strips along Santa Ana Boulevard, and in sidewalk tree wells where on-street parking is provided. Parking is accommodated on-street, in structures with liner buildings, and underground. (2) Government Center (GC) Zone. This area accommodates a wide variety of civic uses, including Federal, State, and local government offices and services, libraries, museums, community centers, and other civic assembly facilities and is identified, but not regulated, by this Article. Refer to City requirements as identified in SAMC Chapter 41. Building types vary according to their public purpose, are programmed by the various government agencies for their specific sites, and therefore are not coded by this Article the Transit Zoning Code (SD84A and SD84B). The landscape style is urban, emphasizing shading street trees in sidewalk tree wells, and in landscaped public plazas. (3) Downtown (DT) Zone. This zone is applied to the historical shopping district of Santa Ana, a vital, pedestrian-oriented area that is defined by multi-story urban building types (flex blocks, live-work, stacked dwellings, and courtyard housing in the Downtown edges) accommodating a mixture of retail, office, light service, and residential uses. The standards of this zone are intended to reinforce the form and character represented by pre-World War II buildings and recognized as a National Historic District, through restoration, rehabilitation, and context- sensitive infill. The standards also facilitate the replacement or improvement of post-war development that eliminated the pedestrian orientation of various downtown blocks (for example, parking structures with no features of pedestrian interest along their entire lengths). The landscape st yle is urban, emphasizing shading and accent street trees in sidewalk tree wells. Parking is accommodated on-street and may also be in structures with liner buildings, underground, and within block centers in surface lots not visible from streets. (4) Urban Center (UC) Zone. This zone is applied to the area surrounding the Downtown, which serves as a transitional area to the surrounding lower intensity neighborhoods and to other areas where mixed-use and multi-unit residential buildings create a pedestrian- oriented urban fabric. The zone provides for a variety of non -residential uses and a mix of housing types at medium intensities and densities. Besides accommodating community serving businesses, this zone may also serve the daily convenience shopping and service needs of nearby residents. Building types include mixed-use Flex Blocks, stacked flats, live-work, row- houses, and courtyard housing. The landscape is urban, emphasizing shading street trees in sidewalk tree wells. Parking is accommodated on -street and may also be in structures with liner buildings and underground in areas adjacent to the DT zone, and in surface lots away from street frontages. (5) Corridor (CDR) Zone. This zone is applied to properties fronting existing commercial corridors and provides standards to improve pedestrian-orientation in a transit-supportive, mixed-use area. Mixed-use flex block and live-work building types are at or         City Council 24 – 260 6/3/2025 Ordinance No. NS-XXX Page 16 of 49 near the sidewalk, and accommodate street level retail, service, and office uses, with office and residential above. The landscape style is urban, emphasizing shading street trees in sidewalk tree wells. Parking is accommodated on-street, and in screened surface lots between buildings, or away from streets, with no more than half the site frontage occupied by parking. (6) Urban Neighborhood 2 (UN-2) Zone. This zone is applied to primarily residential areas intended to accommodate a variety of housing types, with some opportunities for live -work, neighborhood- serving retail, and cafes. Appropriate building types include single dwellings, duplexes, triplexes and quadplexes, courtyard housing, rowhouses, and live - work. In some areas, the more intense, hybrid court building type is allowed where additional intensity is warranted while maintaining compatibility with neighboring properties (see Regulating Plan). The landscape is appropriate to a neighborhood, with shading street trees in parkway strips, and shallow- depth landscaped front yards separating buildings from sidewalks. Parking is on - street, and in garages located away from street frontages. (7) Urban Neighborhood 1 (UN-1) Zone. This zone is applied to existing primarily residential areas and is intended to strengthen and stabilize the low intensity nature of these neighborhoods. Appropriate building types include single dwellings, duplexes, triplexes, and quadplexes, and live-work. The landscape is appropriate to a neighborhood, with shading street trees in parkway strips and landscaped front yards separating buildings from sidewalks. Parking is on-street, and in garages located away from street frontages. (8) Industrial Overlay (I-OZ) Zone. The I-OZ is applied to areas currently zoned M1 or M2, and occupied with an industrial use, to allow the types of land use activity and development permitted by existing M1 and M2 zoning to continue until such time that the owner chooses to apply the new zones identified in Figure 2.1. In order to determine if the M1 or M2 land use activity and development apply to a particular parcel, the I-OZ is further identified as I-OZ-M1 or I-OZ-M2. Until the property owner applies to modify the zoning district, property in the I-OZ shall be regulated by the provisions of the M1 and M2 zones (SAMC 41, Article III, Divisions 18 and 19), as applicable. (8) (9) Open Space (O) Zone. This zone identifies areas reserved for community parks and other open spaces and is identified, but not regulated, by this Article. Refer to City requirements as identified in SAMC Chapter 41. Allowable structures in this zone are limited to those necessary to support the specific purposes of the particular open space area (e.g., sport-court enclosures and multi-purpose buildings in active parks, and trails within passive parks).” Figure 2.1 Regulating Plan with Existing R.O.W.         City Council 24 – 261 6/3/2025 Ordinance No. NS-XXX Page 17 of 49         City Council 24 – 262 6/3/2025 Ordinance No. NS-XXX Page 18 of 49 Figure 2.1 Regulating Plan with Existing R.O.W.

Date: ______________________ ________________________________ Jennifer L. Hall City Clerk City of Santa Ana         City Council 24 – 286 6/3/2025 Ordinance No. NS-XXX Page 42 of 49 EXHIBIT “A” A. On April 19, 2022, The City adopted an Amended General Plan. The Amended General Plan became effective on May 26, 2022 and adopted a new Land Use Plan for the City and established new land use designations and policies for development of the City. B. On April 16, 2024, the City Council passed an Urgency Ordinance to adopt a 45-day moratorium on the approval, commencement, establishment, relocation, or expansion of industrial uses within the Transit Zoning Code/Specific Development (SD) No. 84 Zoning District (Moratorium Ordinance”). No. NS-3063. The purpose of the moratorium was to immediately protect the public health, safety, and welfare of residents and businesses from incompatible industrial uses that cause a significant pollution burden to adjacent residential neighborhoods within the SD84 Zoning District. C. On May 7, 2024, the City Council issued and file a Council report to the public, pursuant to Section 65858(d) of the California Government Code, describing the City’s measures to alleviate conditions that led to the adoption of Urgency Interim Ordinance No. NS-3063, on April 16, 2024, regarding a 45-day moratorium on the approval, commencement, establishment, relocation, or expansion of industrial uses within Specific Development No. 84 (the Transit Zoning Code). D. On May 21, 2024, the City Council adopted an extension of the Moratorium Ordinance for an additional ten (10) months and fifteen (15) days pursuant to the California Government Code, Section 65858. The extension was necessary to allow sufficient time for staff to continue with conduct research of appropriate regulations, and coordinate with outside regulatory agencies and City departments to develop appropriate zoning regulation to address the impacts of industrial development in the SD84 Zoning District. E. The Planning and Building Agency routinely reviews its ordinances to incorporate best practices, reflect changes to State law, and address community needs. F. In adopting the Moratorium on April 16, 2024, the City Council of the City of Santa Ana established the following findings, all of which below remain true, applicable and necessary to support the adoption of Zoning Ordinance Amendment (ZOA) No. 2024-02 amending certain portions of Chapter 41 (Zoning) of the Santa Ana Municipal Code, Article XIX. The Transit Zoning Code/Specific Development (SD) No. 84 Zoning District: 1. The Transit Zoning Code (TZC), located in the central core of Santa Ana, comprises approximately 450 acres, encompasses the Logan, Lacy, and Downtown neighborhoods, and was adopted by the City Council on June 7, 2010, and amended on July 16, 2019; and         City Council 24 – 287 6/3/2025 Ordinance No. NS-XXX Page 43 of 49 2. Upon the initial adoption of the TZC in 2010, the General Plan of the City of Santa Ana was updated with new land use designations for the areas covered by the TZC to allow for new, mixed-use residential and commercial communities; and 3. The goals of the TZC are to provide a transit-supportive, pedestrian- oriented development framework to support the addition of new, and enhancement of existing communities through, transit infrastructure; to preserve and reinforce the existing character and pedestrian nature of the City by strengthening urban form through improved development and design standards; to encourage alternative modes of transportation; to provide zoning for the integration of new infill development into existing neighborhoods; to provide for a range of housing options; and to allow for the reuse of existing structures; and 4. Industrial uses were established within the Logan and Lacy neighborhoods in close proximity to sensitive land uses such as residences and schools prior to the adoption of the TZC, as far back as the late 19th century, predating modern zoning practices that take into account irreconcilable land use conflicts among variegated land uses; and 5. The TZC provides new mixed-use zoning for properties contained within its boundary while creating industrial overlay zones allowing properties being used as industrial uses at the time of its adoption to continue to be governed by industrial zoning districts until su ch time that properties were developed or improved to the mixed-use zones allowed by the TZC; and 6. Senate Bill (SB) 1000 went into effect in 2018, requiring local governments to identify environmental justice communities, called “disadvantaged communities”, in their jurisdictions and address environmental justice in their general plans through facilitating transparency and public engagement in the planning and decision - making processes, reducing harmful pollutants and the associated health risks in disadvantaged communities, and promoting equitable access to health-inducing benefits such as healthy housing options; and 7. The City of Santa Ana completed a comprehensive update of its General Plan in April 2022; and 8. The Office of the Attorney General of the State of California was actively involved in ensuring Santa Ana’s General Plan update complied wit h all aspects of SB 1000 prior to its adoption; and 9. As required by SB 1000, update of the General Plan and its associated land use plan identified and addressed long standing environmental justice issues throughout all its elements, which include 77         City Council 24 – 288 6/3/2025 Ordinance No. NS-XXX Page 44 of 49 implementation actions aimed at reducing harmful pollutants and associated health risks in disadvantaged communities; and 10. Numerous policies of the General Plan are inconsistent with the present, irreconcilable land use pattern of the TZC. Specifically, these policies include Policy LU-1.1 (Compatible Uses), Policy LU-2.4 (Cost and Benefit of Development), Policy LU-3.8 (Sensitive Receptors), Policy LU-3.9 (Noxious, Hazardous, Dangerous, and Polluting Uses), Policy LU-3.11 (Air Pollution Buffers), Policy LU-4.3 (Sustainable Land Use Strategies), Policy LU-4.6 (Healthy Living Conditions), Policy CM-3.2 (Healthy Neighborhoods), Policy EP-1.9 (Avoid Conflict of Uses), Policy EP-3.3 (Mitigate Impacts), Policy CN-1.5 (Sensitive Receptor Decisions), Policy CM-.2 (Healthy Neighborhoods), and Policy HE -5.5 (Community Development), which are targeted at correcting past land use planning practices that have placed an unequitable environmental and health burden on certain neighborhoods now termed disadvantaged communities; and 11. The industrial overlay zones in the TZC perpetuate past planning practices of locating industrial uses, or other noxious and unwanted uses, in close proximity to communities of color; and 12. The Logan neighborhood is the oldest Mexican and Mexican -American neighborhood in Santa Ana and one of the oldest in Orange County, and one of the few places where Mexicans and those of Mexican descent were allowed to buy land due to restrictions and covenants based on race during the first half of the 20th century; and 13. The construction of Santa Ana (I-5) Freeway through Santa Ana in the 1950s resulted in many families being displaced through the demolition of single-family homes in the northeastern portion of the Logan neighborhood; and 14. In the 1970s, a proposed expansion of an arterial highway along Civic Center Avenue would have demolished a significant portion, if not all, of the Logan neighborhood; and 15. The Logan and Lacy neighborhoods are within the second and third highest scored census tracts in Santa Ana, each with a composite score of 90 percent or greater, ranking in the 90th percentile or greater of census tracts in the State, and identified as “disadvantaged communities” by the Office of Environmental Health Hazard Assessment (OEHHA) in its CalEnviroScreen model; and 16. Assembly Bill (AB) 686 requires local jurisdictions to take deliberate actions to explicitly address, combat, and relieve disparities to disadvantaged communities, such as Logan and Lacy neighborhoods, resulting from past patterns of segregation, disinvestment, and planning practices; and         City Council 24 – 289 6/3/2025 Ordinance No. NS-XXX Page 45 of 49 17. The updated land use plan in the Land Use Element of the General Plan does not designate any properties within the TZC, including the Logan or Lacy neighborhoods, as industrial; rather, they are designated as varying intensities of District Center or Urban Neighborhood land use designations—both of which are inconsistent with industrial uses; and 18. There are pressing and growing code enforcement complaints stemming from the irreconcilable land use conf licts in the TZC. Specifically, in the Logan and Lacy neighborhoods, the City’s Code Enforcement Division has investigated over 35 commercial and industrial properties in the past twelve months and currently has 16 active open cases that have been issued Notice of Violations and administrative citations for the following types of violations: illegal storage, land use, zoning, property and landscape maintenance, unpermitted work, business license, and certificate of occupancy. The close proximity of active open industrial cases during a short period of time is creating a public nuisance that is draining City resources and that is harming public health, safety, and general welfare of the TZC’s existing and new residential neighborhoods from the concentration of open code enforcement cases nearby; and 19. In the Logan neighborhood, 52 industrial facilities (automotive, warehouse/storage, crematory, towing yards, construction) are presently near sensitive uses monitored by external regulatory agencies such as South Coast AQMD, Orange County Health Care Agency – Certified Unified Program Agencies (OC CUPA), Santa Ana Regional Water Quality Board (SARWQB), Orange County Fire Authority. Industrial facilities have caused significant pollution exposure to disadvantaged communities, including lead risk in soil and housing, diesel particulate matter from idling trucks, toxic release from facilities, traffic impacts, noise pollution, and airborne particulate matter or fine inhalable particles of 2.5 (PM2.5) microns or less in diameter. CalEnviroScreen reports higher environmental effects from active facility cleanup sites, hazardous waste facilities, and solid waste locations. Cumulative health impacts in the area include asthma, cardiovascular disease, and low birth weight, in this overburdened disadvantaged community factored by socioeconomic indicators of poverty, linguistic isolation, housing burden, and education; and 20. In the Lacy neighborhood, 76 industrial facilities (automotive, warehouse/storage, towing yards, construction) are presently near sensitive uses monitored by external regulatory agencies such as South Coast AQMD, Orange County Health Care Agency – Certified Unified Program Agencies (OC CUPA), Santa Ana Regional Water Quality Board (SARWQB), Orange County Fire Authority. Industrial facilities have caused significant pollution onto disadvantaged communities, including lead risk exposure, diesel particulate matter from idling trucks, toxic release from facilities, traffic impacts, noise pollution, vibration         City Council 24 – 290 6/3/2025 Ordinance No. NS-XXX Page 46 of 49 impacts, and airborne particulate matter or fine inhalable particles of 2.5 (PM2.5) microns or less in diameter. CalEnviroScreen reports higher environmental effects from active facility cleanup sites, hazardous waste facilities, and solid waste locations. Cumulative health impacts in the area include asthma, cardiovascular disease, and low birth weight, in this overburdened disadvantaged community factored b y socioeconomic indicators of poverty, linguistic isolation, housing burden, and education; and 21. There is a recent surge in residential development activity in the TZC that is exacerbating the irreconcilable land use conflicts between residential and industrial land uses. Examples include the Lacy Crossing residential development with over 100 ownership units directly adjacent to existing industrial land uses, for which the City receives regular complaints from residential occupants of disturbances from noise, vibrations, odors, and truck traffic; and the Rafferty mixed-use development with 218 residential units, including 11 onsite units for very- low income households, which is located less than one-fifth of a mile from industrial land uses; and 22. There is a marked increase in the pending and active development applications for industrial land uses in the TZC, including for contractor’s yards, construction debris storage yards, manufacturing operations, expansion of existing industrial businesses, and st orage and warehousing operations, stemming from shifting economic demands for goods and services emerging from the Covid-19 pandemic; and 23. The City Council approved a contract with Moore, Iacofano, Goltsman, Inc. (MIG) on October 17, 2023 to ensure the City’s Zoning Code and General Plan are consistent, and to maintain compliance with state law, comprehensive amendments to the Zoning Code are required; and 24. MIG and City staff have conducted extensive community outreach, stakeholder interviews, and reviews of existing zoning-related codes and policies in Santa Ana. These early efforts have indicated that the irreconcilable land use conflicts and land use inconsistencies in the TZC area are among the most pressing topics that must be addressed as part of the comprehensive Zoning Code Update process to protect the health, safety, and welfare of the most vulnerable communities that face the impacts of the land use conflicts within the TZC area. Since adoption of the moratorium and its extension, MIG and City staff have focused the comprehensive update through an initial phase concentrating on amending the TZC; and 25. The policies and implementation actions in the General Plan also require review, study, and possible revision to respond to recent concerns relating to the impacts of these industrial business uses in the TZC; and         City Council 24 – 291 6/3/2025 Ordinance No. NS-XXX Page 47 of 49 26. Given these concerns, the City Council directed that a study be undertaken of the current provisions of the TZC to address industrial business uses and determine whether such uses should be permitted in the zoning district, and if not, proceed with an ordinance amendment to preclude such uses from the district. G. Following said analysis of the City Council points of discussion as iterated above, City staff has prepared ZOA No. 2024-02 to amend and add certain sections to Chapter 41 (Zoning) of the Santa Ana Municipal Code (SAMC), Article XIX. The Transit Zoning Code/Specific Development (SD) No. 84 Zoning District, including the deletion of industrial land uses; amend non - conforming regulations including the addition of an amortization process; amend and add operational standards for allowed uses and non -conforming uses; and delete the Industrial Overlay (I-OZ) zone from text and maps from certain properties within the SD84 Zoning District. H. Amendments to Chapter 41 (Zoning) are necessary to ensure uniform and legally consistent regulations as well as additions to enable the City to implement a regulatory framework that protects the health, safety, and welfare of the City. I. The proposed amendments to the Santa Ana Municipal Code (SAMC) that are the subject of this Ordinance support the objectives and policies of the City’s General Plan and are required to ensure consistency in accordance with Government Code Section 65860. J. Specifically, these amendments to the SAMC timely address current inconsistencies within an area of the City prioritized for addressing EJ. In effect, the amendments are necessary to address numerous policies of the General Plan that the current TZC is found to be incon sistent with, that without such amendments, will continue the path of irreconcilable land use patterns within the TZC. Specifically, these policies include Policy LU -1.1 (Compatible Uses), Policy LU-2.4 (Cost and Benefit of Development), Policy LU-3.8 (Sensitive Receptors), Policy LU-3.9 (Noxious, Hazardous, Dangerous, and Polluting Uses), Policy LU-3.11 (Air Pollution Buffers), Policy LU-4.3 (Sustainable Land Use Strategies), Policy LU-4.6 (Healthy Living Conditions), Policy CM-3.2 (Healthy Neighborhoods), Policy EP-1.9 (Avoid Conflict of Uses), Policy EP-3.3 (Mitigate Impacts), Policy CN-1.5 (Sensitive Receptor Decisions), Policy CM-3.2 (Healthy Neighborhoods), and Policy HE-5.5 (Community Development), which are targeted at correcting past land use planning practices that have placed an unequitable environmental and health burden on certain neighborhoods now termed disadvantaged communities. The proposed amendments support these goals and policies by: 1. Fostering the compatibility between residential and nonresidential land uses within the TZC to enhance livability and promote healthier lifestyles, and improve public health and quality of life;         City Council 24 – 292 6/3/2025 Ordinance No. NS-XXX Page 48 of 49 2. Resolving the development of industrial land uses and sensitive receptors being in close proximity to each other that pose health hazards by eliminating an overlay zone that promulgated continuation of industrial uses without recourse; 3. Improving the health of the existing and future residents of the TZC by regulating the operations of noxious, hazardous, dangerous, and polluting uses by giving priority to the discontinuance or elimination of those uses; 4. Responding to overarching EJ policies to develop and implement land use and zoning strategies to separate existing sensitive uses from heavy industrial facilities and emission sources; 5. Continuing to support the creation of healthy neighborhoods by addressing land use conflicts and incompatible uses through the elimination of the I-OZ zone and associated industrial land use types from the list of allowable land uses within the TZC; 6. Developing and adopting new regulations to address facilities that emit pollution near sensitive receptors within EJ area boundaries, which includes areas of the TZC; 7. Avoiding potential land use conflicts in the future by prohibiting the location of noxious land uses in proximity to sensitive receptors; and 8. Creating a sustainable land use plan for the area that phases out land uses that are causing a substantial drain on City and other public agency resources in addressing the impacts from irreconcilable land use conflicts in the TZC area. K. Additionally, the proposed amendments implement and/or contribute to achieving the following specific action programs of the General Plan, most particularly directly addressing LU3.3 through the creation of a discontinuance of nonconforming industrial uses through amortization: 1. LU1.1 - Development Code Update. Prepare a comprehensive update to the zoning code to ensure that the City’s zoning regulations align with the General Plan’s goals and policies. 2. LU3.3 - Healthy lifestyles. Collaborate with residents and industry stakeholders to create a program to incentivize and amortize the removal of existing heavy industrial uses adjacent to sensitive uses. 3. CN1.4 - Health risk criteria. Establish criteria for requiring health risk assessments for existing and new industries, including the type of business, thresholds, and scope of assessment. Review existing and establish new regulation to reduce and avoid increased pollution near sensitive receptors within environmental justice area boundaries.         City Council 24 – 293 6/3/2025 Ordinance No. NS-XXX Page 49 of 49 4. CN1.7 - Truck idling. Evaluate strategies to reduce truck idling found or reported in areas with sensitive receptors, with a priority placed on environmental justice areas. 5. CN1.11 - Public education. Augment existing outreach programs to improve public awareness of State, regional and local agencies’ roles and resources to identify, monitor, and address air quality and other environmental hazards in the community. 6. HE5.C – Healthy Neighborhoods Initiatives. Update the City’s zoning code development and operational standards for industrial zones to address incompatibility with adjacent uses, including minimum distance requirements to buffer heavy industrial uses from sensitive receptors. Conduct a study to evaluate and establish appropriate minimum distances and landscape buffers between polluting industrial uses from sensitive receptors such as residences. 7. HE44.A – Fair Housing. Ensure all City programs and activities related to housing and community development are administered in a manner that affirmatively furthers fair housing. L. ZOA No. 2024-02 amends and adds certain sections to Chapter 41 (Zoning) of the Santa Ana Municipal Code (SAMC), Article XIX. The Transit Zoning Code/Specific Development (SD) No. 84 Zoning District, including Section 41-2001 (Application of Article), Section 41-2001.5 (Organization), Section 41-2002 (Nonconforming Buildings, Structures and Uses), Section 41-2004 (The Industrial Overlay (I-OZ) Zone), Section 41-2005 (Application for Discretionary Approvals), Section 41-2006 (Zones Established), Section 41-2007 (Uses Permitted) Section 41-2008 (Operational Standards), Section 41-2009 (Operational Standards for Nonconforming Industrial Uses), and Section 41-2080 (Definitions). M. On February 24, 2025, the Planning Commission held a duly noticed public hearing to consider this Ordinance, where all interested persons were given an opportunity to be heard, and recommended approval of the Ordinance to the City Council. N. On March 18, 2025, the City Council held a duly noticed public hearing to consider this Ordinance, where all interested persons were given an opportunity to be heard.         City Council 24 – 294 6/3/2025 Ordinance No. NS-XXX Page 1 of 7 ORDINANCE NO. NS-XXXX AMENDMENT APPLICATION (AA) NO. 2024-03 – AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF SANTA ANA AMENDING THE OFFICIAL ZONING MAP OF THE CITY OF SANTA ANA BY REMOVING THE M1 (LIGHT INDUSTRIAL) AND M2 (HEAVY INDUSTRIAL) SUFFIXES FROM CERTAIN PROPERTIES WITHIN THE SD-84 ZONING DISTRICT BOUNDARY THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF SANTA ANA HEREBY ORDAINS AS FOLLOWS: Section 1. The City Council has, by separate action taken on March 18, 2025, adopted an Addendum to the Transit Zoning Code Environmental Impact report (“EIR”) (State Clearinghouse No. 2006071100), which was certified on June 7, 2010, by the City Council (“Addendum”). The Addendum analyzed the environmental impacts of the actions taken in this Ordinance. Adopting the Adden dum satisfied the City Council’s obligations under the California Environmental Quality Act (“CEQA”) regarding amendments to the Transit Zoning Code and none of the conditions in Public Resources Code section 21166 or State CEQA Guidelines 15162 apply. Thu s, no further environmental review is required as adoption of this Ordinance falls within the scope of the adopted Addendum and previously certified EIR. Section 2. The City Council of the City of Santa Ana hereby finds, determines, and declares as follows: A. Chapter 41, Article I, Division 1, Section 41-1 of the Santa Ana Municipal Code provides that “Because of the necessity of segregating the location of residences, businesses, trades and industries; regulating the use of buildings, structures, and land; and regulating the location, height, bulk and size of buildings and structures, the size of yards and open spaces, the City is divided into land-use districts of such number, shape and area as may be considered best suited to carry out these regulatio ns and provide for their enforcement. The regulations are considered necessary in order to: (a) Encourage the most appropriate use of land; (b) Conserve and stabilize property value, (c) Provide adequate open spaces for light and air and to prevent and fight fires, (d) Prevent undue concentration of population, lessen congestion on streets and highways, and         City Council 24 – 295 6/3/2025 Ordinance No. NS-XXX Page 2 of 7 (e) Promote the health, safety and general welfare of the people, all as part of the general plan of the City.” Consistent with this purpose, the City of Santa Ana has adopted a zoning map, which has since been amended from time to time. B. On April 19, 2022, the City adopted an Amended General Plan The Amended General Plan became effective on May 26, 2022 and adopted a new Land Use Plan for the City and established new lan d use designations and policies for development of the City. C. On April 16, 2024, the City Council passed an Urgency Ordinance to adopt a 45-day moratorium on the approval, commencement, establishment, relocation, or expansion of industrial uses within the T ransit Zoning Code/Specific Development (SD) No. 84 Zoning District (the “Moratorium Ordinance”). The purpose of the Moratorium Ordinance was to immediately protect the public health, safety, and welfare of residents and businesses from incompatible industrial uses that cause a significant pollution burden to adjacent residential neighborhoods within the SD -84 Zoning District. D. On May 7, 2024, the City Council issued and file a Council report to the public, pursuant to Section 65858(d) of the California Government Code, describing the City’s measures to alleviate conditions that led to the adoption of Urgency Interim Ordinance No. NS-3063, on April 16, 2024, regarding a 45-day moratorium on the approval, commencement, establishment, relocation, or expansion of industrial uses within the Transit Zoning Code Specific Development No. 84. E. On May 21, 2024, the City Council adopted an extension of the Moratorium Ordinance for an additional ten (10) months and fifteen (15) days pursuant to California Government Code , Section 65858. The extension was necessary to allow sufficient time for staff to continue with conduct research of appropriate regulations, and coordinate with outside regulatory agencies and City departments to develop appropriate zoning regulation to address the impacts of industrial development in the SD -84 Zoning District. F. After continued research and study, two ordinances have been developed that address the impacts from industrial land uses in the SD -84 Zoning District. The ordinances address the following: a. Zoning Ordinance Amendment (ZOA) No. 2024-02 to amend certain provisions of the Santa Ana Municipal Code and amend portions of the Transit Zoning Code/Specific Development (SD) No. 84 Zoning District, including the deletion of industrial land uses; amendment of non- conforming regulations; and, b. Amendment Application (AA) No. 2024-03 to remove the M1 (Light Industrial) and M2 (Heavy Industrial) suffixes from certain properties         City Council 24 – 296 6/3/2025 Ordinance No. NS-XXX Page 3 of 7 within the SD-84 Zoning District boundary as designated on the City of Santa Ana Zoning Map. G. AA No. 2024-03 is consistent with and implements the amendments proposed by ZOA No. 2024-02 by ensuring uniform and legally consistent mapping of the City’s Zoning Districts; and enables the City to implement a regulatory framework that protects the health, safety, and welfare of the City and its residents. H. The proposed amendments to the Zoning Map contained in AA No. 2024 - 03 are required to ensure consistency with the City’s General Plan in accordance with California Government Code, Section 65860. I. Adoption of AA No. 20243 is consistent with and implements the Amended General Plan. Specifically, it is consistent with the following: The amendments timely address current inconsistencies within an area of the City prioritized for addressing EJ. (a) Policy LU-1.1 (Compatible Uses), (b) Policy LU-2.4 (Cost and Benefit of Development) (c) Policy LU-3.8 (Sensitive Receptors), (d) Policy LU-3.9 (Noxious, Hazardous, Dangerous, and Polluting Uses), (e) Policy LU-3.11 (Air Pollution Buffers), (f) Policy LU-4.3 (Sustainable Land Use Strategies), (g) Policy LU-4.6 (Healthy Living Conditions), (h) Policy CM-3.2 (Healthy Neighborhoods), (i) Policy EP-1.9 (Avoid Conflict of Uses), (j) Policy EP-3.3 (Mitigate Impacts); (k) Policy CN-1.5 (Sensitive Receptor Decisions), (l) Policy CM-3.2 (Healthy Neighborhoods), and (m) Policy HE-5.5 (Community Development) which are targeted at correcting past land use planning practices that have placed an unequitable environmental and health burden on certain neighborhoods now termed disadvantaged communities. The proposed amendments support these goals and policies by: 1. Fostering the compatibility between residential and nonresidential land uses within the TZC to enhance livability and promote healthier lifestyles, and improve public health and quality of life; 2. Resolving the development of industrial land uses and sensitive receptors being in close proximity to each other that pose health hazards by eliminating an overlay zone that promulgated continuation of industrial uses without recourse; 3. Improving the health of the existing and future residents of the TZC by regulating the operations of noxious, hazardous, dangerous, and polluting uses by giving priority to the discontinuance of those uses;         City Council 24 – 297 6/3/2025 Ordinance No. NS-XXX Page 4 of 7 4. Responding to overarching EJ policies to develop and implement land use and zoning strategies to separate existing sensitive uses from heavy industrial facilities and emission sources; 5.

Creating a sustainable land use plan for the area that phases out land uses that are causing a substantial drain on City and other public agency resources in addressing the impacts from irreconcilable land use conflicts in the TZC area. J. Additionally, AA No. 2024-03 implements and/or contributes to achieving the following specific action programs of the General Plan, most particularly directly addressing LU3.3 through the creation of a discontinuance of nonconforming industrial uses through amortization: 1. LU1.1 - Development Code Update. Prepare a comprehensive update to the zoning code to ensure that the City’s zoning regulations align with the General Plan’s goals and policies. Update the Metro East Mixed-Use Overlay District to remove the portion within the 17th Street and Grand Avenue Focus Area. Update the Midtown Specific Plan. 2. LU3.3 - Healthy lifestyles. Collaborate with residents and industry stakeholders to create a program to incentivize and amortize the removal of existing heavy industrial uses adjacent to sensitive uses. 3.

SD-84/Transit Zoning Code (TZC) Moratorium and Ordinance Amendment Frequently Asked Questions This document provides information about the Specific Development No. 84 (SD-84) zoning district, otherwise known as the Transit Zoning Code (TZC), moratorium and the proposed ordinance amendment. Please note, the information provided in this FAQ is for general informational purposes only. Interested parties should review the proposed Moratorium text and the Ordinance text for detailed information and applicability. 1. When does the moratorium expire? The Transit Zoning Code (TZC/ SD-84) is a special zoning district in central Santa Ana designed to create a pedestrian-friendly, transit-oriented community while protecting existing neighborhoods. TZC industrial moratorium began with Ordinance No. NS-3063 on April 16, 2024, as a 45-day urgency measure. The City Council then adopted Ordinance No. NS-3064 on May 21, 2024, extending the moratorium for an additional ten months and fifteen days. The current moratorium will expire on April 15, 2025. 2. Why was the moratorium adopted? The City Council adopted the TZC industrial moratorium on April 16, 2024 to immediately protect public health, safety, and welfare from industrial uses causing significant pollution burden to adjacent residential neighborhoods within the TZC district. The action addressed historical land use conflicts in the Logan and Lacy neighborhoods, where industrial uses have remained, changed ownership, expanded, or intensified despite the area's 2010 transit-oriented zoning designation. CalEnviroScreen 4.0 data confirms these neighborhoods rank at 90 percent or above among California's most pollution-burdened communities, with documented exposure to various environmental hazards. The existing Industrial Overlay Zone (I-OZ) created inconsistencies with the General Plan's mixed-use designations and allowed industrial uses to continue operating near residential areas. 3. What impact does the moratorium have on business permits and future development? The moratorium prohibits the establishment of new, or expansion or intensification of existing, industrial businesses within the TZC. Existing industrial businesses can obtain permits for work that is for routine maintenance, or of a similar nature, that does not result in new, expanded or intensified use. The moratorium does not impact residential, commercial, or mixed-use development in the TZC plan area. 4. How does the proposed permanent ordinance to amend the TZC propose to regulate industrial intensification within the plan area? The ordinance would remove the industrial overlay and remove industrial type uses from the permitted uses table in the TZC. The removal of the overlay and of industrial type uses from the permitted uses table would render all existing industrial businesses within the plan area as nonconforming, thereby prohibiting the expansion of the existing industrial businesses and the establishment of new industrial businesses in the plan area. Moreover, the ordinance would prohibit intensification of nonconforming industrial uses, meaning the businesses would be prohibited from expanding operations that result in more potential impacts. 5. Does this impact commercial businesses or residential uses? The proposed amendments primarily address industrial uses within the TZC district. Commercial businesses that are         City Council 24 – 315 6/3/2025 2 Disclaimer: The information provided in this FAQ is for general informational purposes only and should not be construed as legal advice. compatible with mixed-use and transit-oriented development will continue to be permitted uses in the TZC. The amendments aim to enhance the compatibility between residential areas and neighboring businesses by removing industrial uses that create environmental and health impacts. These changes support the original 2010 TZC vision of creating a transit-supportive, pedestrian-oriented development framework that strengthens the area's mixed-use character while protecting existing residential neighborhoods. The amendments focus on safeguarding the residential communities in the area from industrial impacts while maintaining appropriate commercial activities that serve neighborhood needs. 6. How does this ordinance compare to similar policies in other cities? Most cities, including the City of Santa Ana, regulate nonconforming uses and structures. Several cities also include abatement or amortization processes to further regulate and terminate nonconforming uses and structures to advance overall land use policy direction. A few cities target termination of specific nonconformities, such as adult entertainment, industrial uses, and billboards or other types of signage, or certain types of buildings or structures. The City of National City has a well-established industrial amortization program, reviewing and ranking various businesses to be prioritized for amortization. 7. What are the differences between the M1 and M2 overlay, and how does it impact businesses within each zone? The Industrial Overlay (I-OZ) Zone is currently applied to areas that were zoned M1 (Light Industrial) or M2 (Heavy Industrial) and occupied with an industrial use when the TZC was originally adopted in 2010. As written, this overlay allows the type of land use activity and development permitted by the M1 and M2 zoning districts to continue until such time that the owner chooses to develop to the standards in the new residential and mixed-use zones that were applied to all of the properties within the plan area when the TZC was originally adopted. In order to determine if the M1 or M2 land use activity and development apply to a particular parcel, the I-OZ was further identified on the regulating plan (map) as I-OZ-M1 or I-OZ- M2. 8. Why is the City considering permitting residential on industrial properties? All of the properties within the TZC were assigned zones that permit residential and/or mixed-use development in 2010, when the plan was originally adopted. The proposed ordinance would not change or affect the zones that are already applicable to the properties within the boundary of the TZC. Rather, the proposed ordinance would simply remove the industrial overlay that was applied to certain properties within the plan area that had existing industrial businesses when the plan was adopted in 2010. 9. Why does the proposed ordinance prohibit the conversion of residential land uses or buildings to non-residential uses in the UN-1 and UN-2 zones of the TZC? UN-1 and UN-2 zones are applied to primarily residential areas intended to accommodate a variety of housing types, with some opportunities for live-work, neighborhood serving retail and cafes. The proposed ordinance would prohibit the conversion of residential uses/building to non-residential uses in these areas to strengthen and stabilize the low intensity residential nature of these         City Council 24 – 316 6/3/2025 3 Disclaimer: The information provided in this FAQ is for general informational purposes only and should not be construed as legal advice. neighborhoods, while still allowing some limited neighborhood-serving commercial uses on properties that are already non-residential in nature. 10. How will this ordinance affect businesses that want to sell or transfer ownership to future owners? As proposed, the ordinance will not affect the transferability of nonconforming industrial uses, as defined in the ordinance, to future owners. However, the nonconforming status of a business that meets the definition of a Noxious Use, as defined in the TZC, would lose its nonconforming status when the business ownership changes or if it meets the code enforcement thresholds established in the proposed ordinance. 11. How does the City determine when a business has transferred to new ownership? All businesses operating in commercial locations must obtain a Certificate of Occupancy (COO) from the Planning Division before receiving a business license, while those in residential areas must secure a Home Occupation Permit. A new COO is required whenever a business changes its use, changes ownership, changes location, expands, or changes its name. Businesses that do not apply and obtain a COO may face code enforcement action. 12. What is a nonconforming use? A nonconforming use is a use that was lawful when established but became unlawful due to new or amended ordinances. These uses are sometimes referred to as "grandfathered" uses and are typically allowed to continue without expansion or intensification. The SAMC defines “nonconforming uses” generally as uses initiated before July 20, 1960, or those that were compliant with applicable provisions when established but later became nonconforming due to code changes or public agency property acquisition. 13. What is amortization? Amortization is a tool that provides a reasonable transition period for owners to phase out a nonconforming use. This "grace period" allows owners to recoup their investments before the use must cease, and serves as a lawful equivalent to “just compensation.” Under the proposed ordinance, the City may consider amortizing certain nonconforming industrial uses based on factors enumerated in the ordinance. If the City elects to eliminate a use through amortization, a reasonable amortization period would be determined by an independent hearing officer be based on an individualized assessment. 14. The proposed ordinance references the use of a Hearing Officer for determining amortization periods in cases where the City elects to pursue elimination of a business/use through that mechanism. Who serves as hearing officer and what educational/professional background do they have? Hearing officers typically possess a background in law, urban planning, public administration, or a related field, and are already on retainer by the City of Santa Ana to adjudicate certain code enforcement appeals and other matters. Cities often utilize hearing officers to provide a neutral and impartial forum for dispute resolution, thereby increasing procedural fairness and public trust. Additionally, hearing officers often bring specialized expertise in navigating complex regulatory frameworks, which can streamline the hearing process and lead to more informed decision-making. The proposed ordinance requires that any hearing officer retained for the purposes of administering the amortization provisions must possess land use and legal background.         City Council 24 – 317 6/3/2025 4 Disclaimer: The information provided in this FAQ is for general informational purposes only and should not be construed as legal advice. 15. What industrial businesses would be considered nonconforming if the ordinance were adopted as proposed? The proposed ordinance defines nonconforming industrial use as a use established on any parcel or within any building located within the boundaries of the TZC that is listed in the uses permitted or uses permitted subject to a conditional use permit of the M1 (Light Industrial) or M2 (Heavy Industrial) zoning districts but that are no longer permissible through the proposed amendment. As such, all industrial businesses would be considered nonconforming if the ordinance were adopted as proposed. 16. What are the differences between a nonconforming industrial use and a noxious use? A nonconforming industrial use is a use established on any parcel or within any building located within the boundaries of TZC that is listed in the uses permitted or uses permitted subject to a conditional use permit of the M1 (Light Industrial) or M2 (Heavy Industrial) zoning districts but that are no longer permissible through the proposed amendment. A noxious use, as the term is defined and used in the proposed ordinance, is a nonconforming industrial use that is located within one thousand (1,000) linear feet of a public park, school (K-12) as defined by Section 11362.768 of the Health and Safety Code, or property used or zoned for residential purposes whose primary business operations involve any two or more of the following: 1) Emitting, generating, or discharging of particulate materials; exhausting emissions; or handling, storing emitting or discharging regulated compounds, hazardous materials, chemicals, or substances; 2) Operations that are regulated by and require a permit from a federal, state, or regional agency; 3) Storing, processing, or disposing of listed or hazardous waste; or 4) Operations that are not contained within a fully enclosed building. If an existing industrial business does not meet the criteria included in the definition of a noxious use, then it is considered a nonconforming industrial use. However, if the nonconforming industrial use meets the criteria of noxious use, then the business is also considered a noxious use. 17. How is artisan/craft product – limited production defined in the proposed ordinance? Artisan/craft product - limited production is defined as a specialized commercial facility with a retail-facing operation open to the public. Products are typically made by hand or with a restricted level of automation demonstrating an artistic skill. On-site production of artisan/craft product activities include design, production, processing, printing, assembly, treatment, testing, repair, and packaging, as well as any incidental storage. Typical artisan/craft products include, but are not limited to, electronics, food products, furniture-making, beverages, leather products, clocks and watches, jewelry, clothing/apparel, metal work, furniture and fine woodworking, glass, ceramics, paper and paper products, soaps, perfumes, and lotions, together with ancillary training and/or educational program activities. 18. What adjustments can be made to operational business hours to mitigate noise concerns? The proposed ordinance does not include language modifying noise standards. However, the proposed ordinance does include hours of operation that would apply to nonconforming industrial uses, which would limit noise impacts experienced by residents of the area. The TZC currently requires approval of a conditional use permit (CUP) for any business operating between 12:00 a.m. (midnight) and 7:00 a.m. During the CUP consideration process, the Planning         City Council 24 – 318 6/3/2025 5 Disclaimer: The information provided in this FAQ is for general informational purposes only and should not be construed as legal advice. Commission may approve specific conditions of approval to address individual noise concerns on a per-application basis. 19. Can the City require a CUP and conditions of approval for noise regulation to existing nonconforming industrial businesses as done for late-night establishments? A CUP and conditions of approval cannot be applied retroactively. The TZC currently requires a conditional use permit for late-night operations, and through Planning Commission approval of conditions of approval, noise-generating activities can be addressed on a per-application basis. 20. How were noise level limits determined, and do they align with City standards? There are no proposed modifications to the TZC’s existing noise standards. 21. What standards are proposed to mitigate air contaminants from industrial businesses? The proposed TZC amendments require all operations to be conducted within enclosed buildings, with measures to prevent dust, smoke, and other air contaminants. While businesses must comply with South Coast Air Quality Management District (SCAQMD) permit requirements, it's important to note that regulatory agencies rely on self-reported emissions data rather than independent measurements. The City's standards require enclosed operations, proper materials handling, and controlled loading activities. For specific requirements, please refer to Section 41- 2009 of the proposed ordinance regarding Operational Standards for Nonconforming Industrial Uses. 22. How does truck idling impact the environment, and how can it be controlled? Truck idling releases high levels of nitrogen oxides (NOx) and particulate matter (PM 2.5), contributing to respiratory diseases, cardiovascular illnesses, and increased cancer risks, in accordance with the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA, 2023) and California Air Resources Board (CARB, 2023). While anti-idling laws exist, enforcement by South Coast Air Quality Management District (SCAQMD) is limited due to resource constraints and the requirement for in-person violation confirmation, making stricter enforcement and alternative mitigation strategies essential (SCAQMD, 2024). 23. What role do external agencies play in regulating businesses in this area? Several agencies regulate air and water quality to protect public health and the environment. The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) sets national air quality standards under the Clean Air Act (CAA), while California Air Resources Board (CARB) enforces statewide pollution and emissions regulations. South Coast Air Quality Management District (SCAQMD) oversees regional air quality compliance in Southern California through permitting, monitoring, and enforcement programs. Additionally, the California State Water Resources Control Board (CSWRCB) and its regional boards regulate industrial wastewater discharge and water pollution under the Clean Water Act (CWA) and Porter-Cologne Water Quality Control Act to safeguard water resources. 24. Are these agencies issuing and enforcing permits for air quality and other regulations? Yes, businesses must obtain emissions permits under the Clean Air Act (CAA) and CARB regulations, with periodic reporting required to maintain compliance. However, the City’s experience with these outside agencies shows that enforcement is often limited, as violations must be witnessed         City Council 24 – 319 6/3/2025 6 Disclaimer: The information provided in this FAQ is for general informational purposes only and should not be construed as legal advice. in real time by an inspector, who may take up to three hours to respond, with restricted weekend availability. Additionally, video evidence of violations is not accepted under current policies, making enforcement more challenging. 25. Is there ongoing air quality testing in the TZC? Yes. Air quality monitoring in this area is conducted through multiple agencies. The South Coast Air Quality Management District (SCAQMD) provides regular monitoring and responds to community complaints. The CalEnviroScreen 4.0 data tracks ongoing pollution measurements, confirming these neighborhoods rank in the 90th percentile for pollution burden. The Environmental Protection Agency’s (EPA) environmental justice mapping provides additional air quality monitoring data. 26. How are violations currently tracked, and what code enforcement reports exist? City staff have an internal process established which tracks and monitors incoming notice of compliance and notice of violations given to a particular business/operator from federal, state, or regional regulatory agencies. However, this process is dependent on the collaborative communication with external regulatory agencies’ reports and enforcement, which has been limited. 27. What measurable environmental impacts justify this ordinance? Data from CalEnviroScreen 4.0 ranks the TZC plan area among the top 90 percent of California’s most pollution-impacted areas, with high emissions from toxic releases, traffic, and diesel particulate matter. According to the EPA and CDC, prolonged exposure to these pollutants has led to 58 percent of children suffering from asthma, 84 percent of newborns having low birth weight, and 49 percent of residents experiencing cardiovascular diseases. Additionally, asthma-related emergency room visits in TZC are 117 percent higher than in the nearby city of Tustin (CDHHS, 2019), underscoring the urgent need for stricter air quality regulations. 28. Can the City address environmental concerns in the area without displacing or forcing businesses to relocate/close? The proposed ordinance aims to address the quality-of-life issues experienced by residents in the area through adoption of operating and development standards that would be applicable to industrial businesses, and by establishing a framework for amortization that the City may use for businesses that meet certain factors. Nonconforming industrial uses that comply with all applicable standards, would be permitted to remain in their current location and would not be forced to relocate or close. 29. What programs or alternative solutions exist for impacted businesses? Impacted businesses can continue to operate in their current locations, provided they comply with all applicable operating and development standards. 30. How does this ordinance affect financial factors such as jobs, tax revenue, economic growth? The proposed ordinance amendments do not require any immediate closure of businesses within the affected area. Should individual business owners and property owners elect to modify business operations, cease operations, or redevelop properties with new uses, financial factors would be evaluated on a per-application basis. Therefore, estimating any financial impacts of the proposed ordinance would be speculative.         City Council 24 – 320 6/3/2025 7 Disclaimer: The information provided in this FAQ is for general informational purposes only and should not be construed as legal advice. 31. What steps have been taken to ensure effective community engagement? The City has implemented a community engagement strategy that includes multiple formats and opportunities for participation. Since April 16, 2024, engagement efforts have included a community information meeting at the Santa Ana Train Station; regular in-person meetings at City Hall with business stakeholders and residents, together, with opportunities for discussion; field visits to affected neighborhoods have allowed for direct observation and community input in context; and tours of industrial businesses. The Planning Commission Study Session and subsequent public hearings have and will also offer formal venues for community feedback. Additionally, the City maintains a dedicated project webpage (www.santa-ana.org/transit- zoning-code-update/) that provides regular updates, meeting materials, and upcoming engagement opportunities, as well as contact information for project staff. Additional outreach has included neighborhood-specific sessions with Lacy and Logan residents, one-on-one consultations, direct email communications, phone calls, and coordination through the Environmental Justice Action Committee. 32. How does this ordinance promote common ground among stakeholders? The City ensured business owners and residents were informed about the meetings through door-to-door canvassing by City staff, as well as announcements on the City’s website, NextDoor, Neighborhood Initiatives and Environmental Services’ (NIES) Mailer, and the NIES Newsletter. These efforts facilitated open communication and engagement, fostering collaboration among stakeholders. 33. How can the public be involved in the process? The public can participate through multiple channels. Community members can attend public hearings and Planning Commission meetings, visit the project webpage at www.santa-ana.org/transit-zoning-code-update/ for current information and updates, and contact the Planning Division directly with questions or concerns. The City continues to hold focused community meetings and maintains open communication with residents, business owners, and stakeholders throughout this process. 34. What additional outreach efforts should be made before implementation? The City has established robust interdepartmental and interagency coordination to support implementation. The City maintain active collaboration with Orange County Fire Authority (OCFA) regarding safety compliance and emergency response planning, and the South Coast Air Quality Management District (SCAQMD) for technical guidance on air quality monitoring and compliance. Internal coordination continues between City departments including the Planning Division, Code Enforcement Division, Santa Ana Police Department, and the Public Works Agency to ensure comprehensive implementation oversight. The City's Neighborhood Initiatives and Environmental Services team coordinates with federal and state agencies including CalEPA's Environmental Justice Team and the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) to identify additional resources and support for affected communities. The Environmental Justice Action Committee, comprising residents, community organizations, and agency representatives, helps guide implementation priorities. Given these established partnerships and communication channels, the City is prepared to move forward with implementation while maintaining these collaborative relationships to ensure effective oversight and responsive community support.         City Council 24 – 321 6/3/2025 8 Disclaimer: The information provided in this FAQ is for general informational purposes only and should not be construed as legal advice. 35. How does the TZC compare to the West Santa Ana Boulevard Focus Area? The TZC area and West Santa Ana Boulevard Focus Area have fundamentally different General Plan land use designations and regulatory frameworks. The TZC was established in 2010 with mixed-use General Plan designations throughout, but retained an Industrial Overlay Zone (I-OZ) that allowed industrial uses to continue, creating inconsistencies. The West Santa Ana Boulevard Focus Area has its own distinct General Plan designations and does not have an industrial overlay. The proposed ordinance would remove the TZC's Industrial Overlay Zone, bringing its zoning into alignment with its mixed-use General Plan designations and supporting the area's intended transit-oriented, pedestrian-friendly development pattern. 36. Will this process be applied to other parts of the City? The proposed ordinance amendments will only affect the area zoned as the Transit Zoning Code (SD-84). The City is also underway with a comprehensive Zoning Code Update, which is a separate and ongoing effort to update and modernize the City’s Zoning Code to reflect the goals and values of the General Plan Update from 2022. 37. What type of environmental document pursuant to the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) will be prepared for this project? The City, as the Lead Agency, has determined that the proposed ordinance and map amendment are subject to CEQA guidelines and regulations (Public Resources Code (PRC) Sections 21000-21177). An Addendum to the Transit Zoning Code Environmental Impact Report (EIR) (State Clearing House (SCH) No. 2006071100) has been prepared by the City to evaluate the impacts of the proposed ordinance amendments.         City Council 24 – 322 6/3/2025 28.Extension of Moratorium on the Approval, Commencement, Establishment, Relocation, or Expansion of Industrial Uses within Specific Development No. 84 (“SD-84”), Also Known as the Transit Zoning Code (“TZC”) for Ten (10) Months and Fifteen (15) Days Pursuant to Government Code Section 65858(a) Legal notice published in the Orange County Reporter on May 6, 2024.

The purpose of this Moratorium was to immediately offer protection of public health, safety, and welfare from industrial uses significantly causing pollution burden to adjacent residential neighborhoods in the Transit Zoning Code (Specific Development No. 84) through the following conditions, including: code enforcement active cases; irreconcilable land use conflicts in the TZC; alarming air quality, noise, traffic, proximity to noxious use facilities, and public health concerns; and external regulatory agency responsiveness. During the moratorium, the City is not issuing permits that result in the approval, commencement, establishment, modification, relocation, or expansion of industrial uses in the Transit Zoning Code (TZC). Pursuant to Government Code Section 65858, the Moratorium shall have no further force and effect 45-days from the date of its adoption, which was April 16, 2024, unless extended. An extension requires the City Council issue a written report ten days prior to the expiration of the Moratorium, or extension thereof, describing the measures taken to alleviate the condition which led to the adoption of the Moratorium, provide notice pursuant to Government Code Section 65090, and hold a public hearing. Government Code Section 65858(a) allows an extension for 10 months and 15 days and a subsequent extension for one year. An extension also requires a four-fifths (4/5) vote of the City Council. On May 7, 2024, the City Council issued a report to the public, pursuant to Section 65858(d) of the California Government Code, describing the City’s measures to alleviate conditions that led to the adoption of the Moratorium. City staff has determined that an extension of the Moratorium for an additional ten (10) months and fifteen (15) days pursuant to the Government Code is necessary to continue with data tracking and reporting, research appropriate regulations, and coordinate with outside regulatory agencies and City departments to provide a complete analysis and thorough evaluation of the more than 130 industrial businesses within the TZC. An extension of the Moratorium would provide sufficient time to enable staff to determine whether further, permanent action is necessary and to generate recommendations to the Planning Commission and City Council. Such action may entail a zoning map amendment, zoning text amendment, or both, which would address industrial land uses in the TZC.         City Council 24 – 326 6/3/2025 Extension of Moratorium on the Approval, Commencement, Establishment, Relocation, or Expansion of Industrial Uses in Specific Development No. 84 May 21, 2024 Page 4 4 2 7 9 DISCUSSION Background Review of City Department Activities Immediately following the adoption of the Moratorium, staff conducted an interagency meeting, which included representatives from multiple City departments. These departments include the Planning Division, Building Safety Division, Code Enforcement Division, Business License, and Information Technology. Moreover, engagement with additional agencies such as the Police Department, Public Works Agency, and the Community Development Agency’s Economic Development Division has produced critical information illustrating the extent to which industrial activities are intertwined with residential land uses in the TZC area, specifically and most concentrated in the Logan and Lacy neighborhoods. Data based on Business License and Economic Development records indicate that the application of the Moratorium affects more than 130 industrial businesses in the TZC. Of these, over one-dozen have active applications for permits, the majority of which are to legalize unpermitted work on industrial properties and address ongoing Code Enforcement Division notices of violation. City staff continue to gather, review, and analyze information regarding affected industrial businesses within the TZC. Specific data and reporting pertains to applications submitted by industrial businesses for permits, entitlements, certificates of occupancy, business licenses, and other relevant records immediately prior to and following the adoption of the Urgency Interim Ordinance and currently under review by City staff. Requests for information on calls for service and incident activities responded to by public safety departments of the Santa Ana Police Department (SAPD) and the Orange County Fire Authority (OCFA) are being reviewed by City staff to understand and validate public safety concerns or impacts shared by neighbors in disadvantaged communities with actual calls and emergencies reported. Initial reports from the SAPD show calls for service in the TZC totaling 18,510 calls between March 2023 and April 2024. These calls for service included patrol checks, car stops, disturbances, alarm activation, trespassing, and many more types of calls for service. Of the 18,510 calls for service, 1,909 incidents reported were related to collisions, impounded vehicles, hit and run collisions, domestic violence, and Santa Ana municipal code violations. Similarly, data from OCFA shows 62 calls for service in 2022 and 66 calls for service for 2023 for a combined 128 calls for service for both 2022 and 2023 for advanced life support-related emergencies. Specifically, 29 of the service calls responded to by OCFA in 2022 were related to health stemming from respiratory concerns to chest pain and cardiac arrest, along with long-term diabetic issues and chest pains. In 2023, there was nearly a seven percent (7%) increase in the number of health-related calls OCFA responded to related to health issues.         City Council 24 – 327 6/3/2025 Extension of Moratorium on the Approval, Commencement, Establishment, Relocation, or Expansion of Industrial Uses in Specific Development No. 84 May 21, 2024 Page 5 4 2 7 9 In addition, City staff continue to monitor Code Enforcement Division activities and implementation of the City’s Noxious Uses Ordinance pertaining to these facilities. Code Enforcement staff will broaden data reports that show enforcement activity beyond the Lacy and Logan neighborhoods within the TZC, where at the time of adoption of the Moratorium, 17 active open cases were issued Notice of Violations and administrative citations for the following types of violations: illegal storage, land use, zoning, property and landscape maintenance, unpermitted work, business license, and certificate of occupancy. Such violations include issues of odors, dust, traffic, noise, vibrations, and other documented impacts. The amount of active open industrial cases, in close proximity to one another, during a short period of time is creating a public nuisance and harming the public health, safety, and general welfare of the two residential neighborhoods. Since the adoption of the Moratorium, City staff have received multiple code enforcement complaints from community members about industrial businesses in the TZC area that were also reported previously before the adoption of the Moratorium. City staff have received repeated code enforcement and air emission complaints about facilities in the Logan neighborhood and are working with Code Enforcement Division and SCAQMD staff to obtain responses, investigations, or reports provided by the Code Enforcement Division and SCAQMD to the complaints reported. Recent code enforcement complaints on properties in the Logan neighborhood involve complaints for recurring unpermitted work and land use violations that involve large commercial vehicles blocking street access and impacting nearby residents. Code Enforcement Division follow-up has resulted in larger administrative citations, continued enforcement, and onsite meetings with business owners. Moreover, air emission complaints have been reported to SCAQMD. These complaints include one involving black smoke and another regarding unpermitted soil vapor extraction equipment onsite. Part of the jurisdictions that City staff are working with include SCAQMD staff to obtain updates regarding the status of these complaints. SCAQMD staff investigated one complaint that did not result in an enforcement action and is investigating the other complaint. SCAQMD staff has clarified that for air quality complaints they receive, their inspector is required to be physically present to observe the activity from the facility described in the complaint to determine if the complaint warrants further investigation or enforcement action in accordance with South Coast AQMD Rules 401 (Visible Emissions), 402 (Public Nuisance), and 403 (Fugitive Dust). Community members continue to share concerns with City and SCAQMD staff regarding the turnaround time for an SCAQMD inspector to be physically present at an SCAQMD-permitted facility to investigate an air quality complaint, especially if a complaint is reported after working hours or on weekends.         City Council 24 – 328 6/3/2025 Extension of Moratorium on the Approval, Commencement, Establishment, Relocation, or Expansion of Industrial Uses in Specific Development No. 84 May 21, 2024 Page 6 4 2 7 9 Review of Records and Activities of External Agencies To broaden the analysis beyond the City's local land use impacts, City staff have initiated public records requests from outside regulatory agencies, such as the South Coast Air Quality Monitoring District, Santa Ana Regional Water Quality Control Board, the Department of Toxic Substances Control, and others responsible for issuing supportive permits for industrial uses in the TZC. Such agencies are responsible for permit issuance, compliance activities, and/or monitoring hazardous clean-up sites, or other industrial facility-related activities and received current data requests for sites located within SD No. 84 that were initiated by City staff on April 25, 2024. Data from outside regulatory agencies will assist City staff in further understanding activities between external regulatory agencies and industrial businesses that may place additional impacts on public health, safety, and welfare in affected neighborhoods adjacent to industrial businesses in the TZC. This information would enable City staff to understand the correlation and environmental burdens that may be attributed to permitted activities for industrial businesses in historically environmentally disadvantaged communities, specifically the Logan and Lacy neighborhoods. In response to the City’s request, SCAQMD clarified the need to process the records request by larger geographic areas, such as zip code area as an example, not specifically matching the boundaries of the TZC. The City has not received responses to its Public Records Act requests and once it does, additional time will be needed for City staff to carefully review and analyze the data in order to understand all activities (internal and external) and affected industrial businesses. Comprehensive Zoning Code Update and Neighborhood Engagement City staff continue to work with Project Consultant MIG to ensure the City’s Zoning Code and General Plan are consistent. In order to maintain compliance with state law, comprehensive amendments to the Zoning Code will likely be required. MIG and City staff have already conducted extensive community outreach, stakeholder interviews, and reviews of existing zoning-related codes and policies in Santa Ana. These early efforts continue to indicate that there are irreconcilable land use conflicts and land use inconsistencies in the TZC area which are among the most pressing topics to be addressed as part of the comprehensive Zoning Code Update process in order to protect the health, safety, and welfare of the most vulnerable communities that face the impacts of the land use conflicts within the TZC area. The Neighborhood Initiatives and Environmental Services (NIES) section of the Planning Division continue to coordinate with City departments, outside regulatory agencies, and staff from other federal and state agencies to identify additional resources available to enhance deeper awareness of pollution exposure in disadvantaged communities, long-term health effects, and options for immediate         City Council 24 – 329 6/3/2025 Extension of Moratorium on the Approval, Commencement, Establishment, Relocation, or Expansion of Industrial Uses in Specific Development No. 84 May 21, 2024 Page 7 4 2 7 9 solutions. The NIES team has held meetings and discussions with staff from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention/Agency for Toxic Substances and Disease Registry and CalEPA Environmental Justice Team to identify opportunities for linking environmental justice (EJ) resources and support to the Logan and Lacy neighborhoods. NIES staff also continue to coordinate with residents selected to represent the City’s EJ Clusters to complete the formation of the EJ Action Committee, the community-led EJ advocacy group. This group will help guide the prioritization and resource investments to implement the City’s General Plan EJ Policies and Implementation Actions. Next Steps During the Moratorium, staff will evaluate if further, permanent action to address the land use conflicts in the TZC is necessary. Such action may entail a zoning map amendment, zoning text amendment, or both, which would permanently address industrial land uses in the TZC. Staff continues to receive, analyze, and prepare a thorough evaluation of industrial business uses within the TZC. Staff has determined that an extension of the Moratorium for an additional ten (10) months and fifteen (15) days, pursuant to Government Code Section 65858(a), is recommended to provide the additional staff time and resources needed to implement a comprehensive evaluation of the industrial uses in the TZC utilizing the data reporting and tracking, regulatory research, enforcement reports, and department discussions to fully understand the effects of industrial uses in the TZC and to continue to address current and immediate threats to public health, safety, and welfare, due to growing code enforcement complaints stemming from the irreconcilable land use conflicts within the TZC. On May 7, 2024, a ten-day report was issued by the City Council pursuant to California Government Code Section 65858(d) and is attached and referenced as Exhibit A to the Ordinance attached to this staff report. The April 16, 2024 City Council Meeting staff report is included in this report as Exhibit 3, providing background on the issues and analysis on the original need for the Moratorium. ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT The extension of the Moratorium is not subject to the California Environmental Quality Act (“CEQA”), as the proposed action is not subject to the requirements of CEQA, pursuant to Guidelines Section 15060(c)(2) because the activity will not result in a direct or reasonably foreseeable indirect physical change in the environment and 15060(c)(3) because the activity is not a project as defined in Section 15378 of the CEQA Guidelines, California Code of Regulations, Title 14, Chapter 3, because it has no potential for resulting in physical change to the environment, directly or indirectly and so is not a project, as the ordinance will temporarily preclude the approval,         City Council 24 – 330 6/3/2025 Extension of Moratorium on the Approval, Commencement, Establishment, Relocation, or Expansion of Industrial Uses in Specific Development No. 84 May 21, 2024 Page 8 4 2 7 9 commencement, establishment, relocation, or expansion of uses in Specific Development No. 84 (the Transit Zoning Code).

and WHEREAS, in unanimously adopting the Moratorium on April 16, 2024, the City Council of the City of Santa Ana established the following findings, all of which below remain true and applicable and necessary to support extending the Moratorium: •The TZC, located in the central core of Santa Ana, comprises approximately 450 acres, encompasses the Logan, Lacy, and Downtown neighborhoods, and was adopted by the City Council on June 7, 2010; and •Upon the initial adoption of the TZC in 2010, the General Plan of the City of Santa Ana was updated with new land use designations for the areas covered by the TZC to allow for new, mixed-use residential and commercial communities; an d •The goals of the TZC are to provide a transit-supportive, pedestrian-oriented development framework to support the addition of new and enhancement of existing communities through transit infrastructure; to preserve and reinforce the existing character and pedestrian nature of the City by strengthening urban form through improved development and design standards; to encourage alternative modes of transportation; to provide zoning for the integration of new infill development into existing neighborhoods; to provide for a range of housing options; and to allow for the reuse of existing structures; and         City Council 24 – 333 6/3/2025 Ordinance No. NS - ____ Page 3 of 11 •Industrial uses were established within the Logan and Lacy neighborhoods in close proximity to sensitive land uses such as residences and schools prior to the adoption of the TZC, as far back as the late 19th century, predating modern zoning practices that take into account irreconcilable land use conflicts among variegated land uses; and •The TZC provides new mixed-use zoning for properties contained within its boundary while creating industrial overlay zones allowing properties being used as industrial uses at the time of its adoption to continue to be governed by industrial zoning districts until such time that properties were converted to the mixed-use zones allowed by the TZC; and •Senate Bill (SB) 1000 went into effect in 2018, requiring local governments to identify environmental justice communities, called “disadvantaged communities”, in their jurisdictions and address environmental justice in their gene ral plans through facilitating transparency and public engagement in the planning and decision-making processes, reducing harmful pollutants and the associated health risks in disadvantaged communities, and promoting equitable access to health-inducing benefits such as healthy housing options; and •The City of Santa Ana completed a comprehensive update of its General Plan in April 2022; and •The Office of the Attorney General of the State of California was actively involved in ensuring Santa Ana’s General Plan update complied with all aspects of SB 1000 prior to its adoption; and •As required by SB 1000, update of the General Plan and its associated land use plan identified and addressed long standing environmental justice issues throughout all of its elements, which include 77 implementation actions aimed at reducing harmful pollutants and associated health risks in disadvantaged communities; and •Numerous policies of the General Plan are inconsistent with the present, irreconcilable land use pattern of the TZC. Specifically, these policies include Policy LU-1.1 (Compatible Uses), Policy LU-3.8 (Sensitive Receptors), Policy LU-3.9 (Noxious, Hazardous, Dangerous, and Polluting Uses), Policy LU-3.11 (Air Pollution Buffers), Policy LU-4.3 (Sustainable Land Use Strategies), Policy LU-4.6 (Healthy Living Conditions), Policy CM-3.2 (Healthy Neighborhoods), Policy EP -1.9 (Avoid Conflict         City Council 24 – 334 6/3/2025 Ordinance No. NS -XXXX Page 4 of 11 of Uses), and Policy CN-1.5 (Sensitive Receptor Decisions), which are targeted at correcting past land use planning practices that have placed an unequitable environmental and health burden on certain neighborhoods now termed disadvantaged communities; and •The industrial overlay zones in the TZC perpetuate past planning practices of locating industrial uses, or other noxious and unwanted uses, in close proximity to communities of color; and •The Logan neighborhood is the oldest Mexican and Mexican - American neighborhood in Santa Ana and one of the oldest in Orange County, and one of the few places where Mexicans and those of Mexican descent were allowed to buy land due to restrictions and covenants based on race during the first half of the 20th century; and •The construction of Santa Ana (I-5) Freeway through Santa Ana in the 1950s resulted in a number of families being displa ced through the demolition of single-family homes in the northeastern portion of the Logan neighborhood; and •In the 1970s a proposed expansion of an arterial highway along Civic Center Avenue would have demolished a significant portion, if not all, of the Logan neighborhood; and •The Logan and Lacy neighborhoods are within the second and third highest scored census tracts in Santa Ana, each with a composite score of 90 percent or greater, ranking in the 90th percentile or greater of census tracts in the State, and identified as “disadvantaged communities” by the Office of Environmental Health Hazard Assessment (OEHHA) in its CalEnviroScreen model; and •Assembly Bill (AB) 686 requires local jurisdictions to take deliberate actions to explicitly address, combat, and relieve disparities to disadvantaged communities, such as Logan and Lacy neighborhoods, resulting from past patterns of segregation, disinvestment, and planning practices; and •The updated land use plan in the Land Use Element of the General Plan does not designate any properties within the TZC, including the Logan or Lacy neighborhoods, as industrial; rather, are designated as varying intensities of District Center or Urban         City Council 24 – 335 6/3/2025 Ordinance No. NS - ____ Page 5 of 11 Neighborhood land use designations—both of which are inconsistent with industrial uses; and •There are pressing and growing code enforcement complaints stemming from the irreconcilable land use conflicts in the TZC. Specifically, in the Logan and Lacy neighborhoods, the City’s Code Enforcement Division has investigated over 33 commercial and industrial properties in the past nine months and currently has 17 active open cases that have been issued Notice of Violations and administrative citations for the following types of violations: illegal storage, land use, zoning, property and landscape maintenance, unpermitted work, business license, and certificate of occupancy. The close proximity of active open industrial cases during a short period of time is creating a public nuisance that is draining City resources and that is harming public health, safety, and general welfare of the TZC’s existing and new residential neighborhoods from the concentration of open code enforcement cases nearby; and •In the Logan neighborhood, 52 industrial facilities (automotive, warehouse/storage, crematory, towing yards, construction) are presently in close proximity to sensitive uses monitored by external regulatory agencies such as South Coast AQMD, Orange County Health Care Agency – Certified Unified Program Agencies (OC CUPA), Santa Ana Regional Water Quality Board (SARWQB), Orange County Fire Authority. Industrial facilities have caused significant pollution exposure to disadvantaged communities, including lead risk in soil and housing, diesel particulate matter from idling trucks, toxic release from facilities, traffic impacts, noise pollution, and airborne particulate matter or fine inhalable particles of 2.5 (PM2.5) microns or less in diameter. CalEnviroScreen reports higher environmental effects from active facility cleanup sites, hazardous waste facilities, and solid waste locations. Cumulative health impacts in the area include asthma, cardiovascular disease, and low birth weight, in this overburdened disadvantaged community factored by socioeconomic indicators of poverty, linguistic isolation, housing burden, and education; and •In the Lacy neighborhood, 76 industrial facilities (automotive, warehouse/storage, towing yards, construction) are presently in close proximity to sensitive uses monitored by external regulatory agencies such as South Coast AQMD, Orange County Health Care Agency – Certified Unified Program Agencies (OC CUPA), Santa Ana Regional Water Quality Board (SARWQB), Orange County Fire Authority. Industrial facilities         City Council 24 – 336 6/3/2025 Ordinance No. NS -XXXX Page 6 of 11 have caused significant pollution onto disadvantaged communities, including lead risk exposure, diesel particulate matter from idling trucks, toxic release from facilities, traffic impacts, noise pollution, vibration impacts, and airborne particulate matter or fine inhalable particles of 2.5 (PM2.5) microns or less in diameter. CalEnviroScreen reports higher environmental effects from active facility cleanup sites, hazardous waste facilities, and solid waste locations. Cumulative health impacts in the area include asthma, cardiovascular disease, and low birth weight, in this overburdened disadvantaged community factored by socioeconomic indicators of poverty, linguistic isolation, housing burden, and education; and •There is a recent surge in residential development activity in the TZC that is exacerbating the irreconcilable land use conflicts between residential and industrial land uses. Examples include the Lacy Crossing residential development with over 100 ownership units directly adjacent to existing industrial land uses, for which the City receives regular complaints from residential occupants of disturbances from noise, vibrations, odors, and truck traffic; and the Rafferty mixed-use development with 218 residential units, including 11 onsite units for very-low income households, which is located less than one-fifth of a mile from industrial land uses; and •There is a marked increase in the pending and active development applications for industrial land uses in the TZC, including for contractor’s yards, construction debris storage yards, manufacturing operations, expansion of existing industrial businesses, and storage and warehousing operations, stemming from shifting economic demands for goods and services emerging from the Covid-19 pandemic; and •The City Council approved a contract with Moore, Iacofan o, Goltsman, Inc. (MIG) on October 17, 2023. To ensure the City’s Zoning Code and General Plan are consistent, and to maintain compliance with state law, comprehensive amendments to the Zoning Code are required; and •MIG and City staff have conducted extensive community outreach, stakeholder interviews, and reviews of existing zoning-related codes and policies in Santa Ana. These early efforts have indicated that the irreconcilable land use conflicts and land use inconsistencies in the TZC area are among the top, most pressing topics that must be addressed as part of the         City Council 24 – 337 6/3/2025 Ordinance No. NS - ____ Page 7 of 11 comprehensive Zoning Code Update process in order to protect the health, safety, and welfare of the most vulnerable communities that face the impacts of the land use conflicts within the TZC area; and •The policies and implementation actions in the General Plan also require review, study, and possible revision in order to respond to recent concerns relating to the impacts of these industrial business uses in the TZC; and •Given these concerns, the City Council directed that a study be undertaken of the current provisions of the TZC to address industrial business uses and determine whether such uses should be permitted in the zoning district, and if not, proceed with an ordinance amendment to preclude such uses from the district; and •Based on the foregoing, the City Council found that continuing to issue permits, business licenses, or other applicable entitlements to individuals wishing to use their property located in the TZC for the purposes of industrial business use, prior to the City’s completion of its study of the potential impact of such uses, would pose a current and immediate threat to the public health, safety, and welfare, and that a temporary moratorium on the issuance of such permits, licenses, and entitlements in the TZC area is thus necessary; and •The City Council further found that if an industrial business use is permitted in the TZC without further review and potential regulation, it will pose a serious threat to the public interest, health, safety and welfare for the following reasons: o Adversely impacts surrounding businesses and neighborhoods; o Adversely impacts sensitive uses such as residences, schools, parks, and places where children congregate; o Conflicts with the goals and policies of the City's General Plan; o Long-term incompatibility and inconsistency with surrounding uses; and o Risks to the public health, safety and welfare of the City; and •The City Council also determined that prevention of detrimental impacts to residents, the public interest, health, safety and welfare required the immediate enactment of the urgency         City Council 24 – 338 6/3/2025 Ordinance No. NS -XXXX Page 8 of 11 ordinance and that the absence of the urgency ordinance will create a serious threat to the orderly and effective implementation of any code amendments, general plan amendments or specific plan amendments which ma y be adopted by the City; industrial business uses may be in conflict with or frustrate the contemplated updates and revisions to the Code. Moreover, permitting such uses during said studies and implementation would create impacts on the public health, safety and welfare that the City Council, in adopting the ordinance, found to be unacceptable; and WHEREAS, Since the adoption of the Moratorium, City staff has begun to gather data and research the impact of these industrial uses in the TZC as set forth in the report issued by the City Council on May 7, 2204; and WHEREAS, there is a need to study further the issues associated with industrial uses in the TZC and the impact that these uses have on the adjacent residential neighborhoods and their residents; and WHEREAS, City staff, the Planning Commission, and the City Council each require a reasonable period of time to study the existing SD-84/TZC and to evaluate if further, permanent action to address the land use conflicts in the TZC is necessary; and WHEREAS, the City Council wishes to extend the Moratorium for a period of ten (10) months and fifteen (15) days, or until the City Council adopts an ordinance addressing the issues raised, whichever occurs first; and WHEREAS, at a duly noticed public hearing on May 21, 2024, the City Council heard testimonial evidence and all other evidence submitted from members of the public that were present and from City staff. The City Council reviewed, analyzed, considered and studied all oral and written testimony and evidence presented at the public hearing, including staff reports and presentations of City staff. NOW, THEREFORE, the City Council of the City of Santa Ana does ordain as follows: Section 1. The recitals above are each incorporated by reference and adopted as findings by the City Council. Section 2. The City Council finds that there is a current and immediate threat to public health, safety and welfare posed by industrial uses in SD-84, also known as, the TZC. If an industrial business use is permitted in the TZC without further review and potential regulation, it will pose a serious threat to the public interest, health, safety and welfare due to adverse impacts on surrounding businesses and neighborhoods; adverse impacts on sensitive uses such as residences, schools, parks, and places where children congregate; conflicts with the goals and policies of the City’s General         City Council 24 – 339 6/3/2025 Ordinance No. NS - ____ Page 9 of 11 Plan; and the effect of long term incompatibility and inconsistency with surrounding uses. Section 3. In accordance with Government Code Section 65858 (d), on May 7, 2024, the City Council issued a written report describing the measures being taken to alleviate the conditions that lead to the adoption of the Moratorium and this extension thereof, attached hereto as Exhibit A and incorporated herein by reference. Section 4. Government Code Section 65858 authorizes the City Council to adopt an interim Urgency Ordinance, without following the procedures otherwise required for the adoption of an ordinance, to protect the public safety, health and welfare, prohibiting any uses that m ay be in conflict with a contemplated general plan, specific plan, or zoning proposal that the City Council, Planning Commission of the planning department is considering or studying or intends to study within a reasonable time. Section 5. Government Code Section 65858(a) provides that the City Council, after notice and a public hearing, may extend the interim Ordinance for 10 months and 15 days and subsequently extend the interim ordinance for one year. Any extension requires a four-fifths vote. Section 6. The City Council, in accordance with Government Code Section 65858 and Santa Ana Charter Sections 415 and 417 hereby adopts this uncodified Urgency Ordinance extending the Moratorium on the approval, commencement, establishment, modification, relocation or expansion of industrial uses in the TZC for a period of ten (10) months and fifteen (15) days, commencing June 1, 2024. The Moratorium will now expire on April 15, 2025, or until the City Council adopts an Ordinance addressing the issues related to the approval, commencement, establishment, relocation or expansion of industrial uses within SD-84, also known as the TZC. For the purposes of this Urgency Ordinance, “industrial uses” includes those specified by Divisions 18 and 19 of Article III of Chapter 41 of the Santa Ana Municipal Code, and by Section 41-2007 of the Santa Ana Municipal Code and Table 2A in the Transit Zoning Code (Specific Development No. 84). Section 7. This Ordinance shall have no further force and effect after a period of ten (10) months and fifteen (15) days, commencing June 1, 2024; unless, however, after public hearing the City Council, by four/fifths (4/5) vote, extend this Ordinance for a period of one more year. Section 8. It shall be unlawful and a misdemeanor for any person to violate or fail to comply with any provision of the ordinance. The violation of any provision of this Ordinance shall be punished as provided in Section 1 -8 of Chapter 1 of the Code. Section 9. The City Council finds and determines that this Ordinance is not subject to the California Environmental Quality Act (“CEQA”) pursuant to sections 15061(b)(3) and 15061(b)(5) of the CEQA Guidelines because it will not result in a         City Council 24 – 340 6/3/2025 Ordinance No. NS -XXXX Page 10 of 11 direct or reasonably foreseeable indirect physical change in the environment, as the ordinance will temporarily preclude the approval, commencement, establishment, relocation or expansion of uses in the zoning district. Section 10. If any section, subsection, phrase, or clause of this Ordinance is for any reason held to be unconstitutional, such decision shall not affect the validity of the remaining portions of this Ordinance. The City Council hereby declares that it would have passed this Ordinance and each section, subsection, phrase or clause thereof irrespective of the fact that any one or more sections, subsections, phrases, or clauses be declared invalid or unconstitutional. Section 11. This Ordinance is introduced, passed and adopted at one and the same meeting and is thereafter immediately effective. The C ity Council finds that this ordinance is necessary to protect the public safety, health and welfare. The reasons for the emergency are set forth in Section 1 of this Ordinance. Section 12.

GOVERNMENT CODE §84308 APPLIES: No EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Pursuant to Section 65858(d) of the California Government Code, the purpose of this staff report is to provide a written report no less than ten days prior to the expiration of Urgency Interim Ordinance No. NS-3063 describing the measures City staff has taken to alleviate the condition which led to the adoption of the Ordinance. On April 16, 2024, the City Council adopted Urgency Interim Ordinance No. NS-3063, which establishes a 45-day moratorium on the approval, commencement, establishment, modification, relocation, or expansion of industrial uses in Specific Development No. 84, also known as the Transit Zoning Code (commonly referred to as the “Transit Zoning Code” or “TZC”) while City staff researches appropriate regulations and determines whether an extension pursuant to the Government Code is necessary. Urgency Interim Ordinance No. NS-3063 shall have no further force and effect 45 days from the date of its adoption, unless, after a report on the first 45 days and a public hearing, the City Council members, again by four/fifths (4/5) vote, extend the Ordinance Exhibit A         City Council 24 – 343 6/3/2025 Ten-Day Report Describing Measures Taken to Alleviate the Condition which Led to the Adoption of Urgency Interim Ordinance No. NS-3063 (Transit Zoning Code Moratorium) May 7, 2024 Page 2 4 2 4 4 for an initial extension period of ten (10) months and fifteen (15) days. Based on the adoption date of April 16, 2024, the Ordinance is scheduled to expire on June 1, 2024. As City staff begins to analyze and prepare an evaluation of industrial business uses within the TZC, the evaluation will enable staff to generate recommendations to the Planning Commission and City Council to determine whether further, permanent action is necessary. Such action may entail a zoning map amendment, zoning text amendment, or both, which would address industrial land uses in the TZC. DISCUSSION Background On April 16, 2024, the City Council adopted Urgency Interim Ordinance No. NS-3063 to immediately offer protection of public health, safety, and welfare from industrial uses significantly causing pollution burden to adjacent neighborhoods through the following conditions, including: code enforcement active cases; irreconcilable land use conflicts in the TZC; alarming air quality, noise, traffic, proximity to noxious use facilities, and public health concerns; and external regulatory agency responsiveness. During the urgency interim moratorium period, the City will not issue permits that result in the approval, commencement, establishment, modification, relocation, or expansion of industrial uses in the TZC. Measures Taken Review of City Department Activities Immediately following the adoption of the 45-day moratorium, staff conducted an interagency meeting, which included representatives from multiple City departments. These departments include the Planning Division, Building Safety Division, Code Enforcement Division, Business License, and Information Technology. Moreover, engagement with additional agencies such as the Police Department, Public Works Agency, and the Community Development Agency’s Economic Development Division has produced critical information illustrating the extent to which industrial activities are intertwined with residential land uses in the TZC area, specifically and most concentrated in the Logan and Lacy neighborhoods. Data based on Business License and Economic Development records indicate that the application of Urgency Interim Ordinance No. NS-3063 affects up to 130 industrial businesses in the TZC. Of these, over one-dozen have active applications for permits, the majority of which are to legalize unpermitted work on industrial properties and address ongoing Code Enforcement Division notices of violation.         City Council 24 – 344 6/3/2025 Ten-Day Report Describing Measures Taken to Alleviate the Condition which Led to the Adoption of Urgency Interim Ordinance No. NS-3063 (Transit Zoning Code Moratorium) May 7, 2024 Page 3 4 2 4 4 City staff continues to gather, review, and analyze information regarding affected industrial businesses within the TZC. Specific data and reporting pertains to applications submitted by industrial businesses for permits, entitlements, certificates of occupancy, business licenses, and other relevant records immediately prior to and following the adoption of the Urgency Interim Ordinance and currently being reviewed by City staff. Requests for information on calls for service and incident activities responded to by public safety departments of the Santa Ana Police Department and Orange County Fire Authority (OCFA) are being reviewed by City staff to understand and validate public safety concerns or impacts shared by neighbors in disadvantaged communities with actual calls and emergencies reported. In addition, City staff continues to monitor Code Enforcement Division activities and implementation of the City’s Noxious Uses Ordinance pertaining to these facilities. Code Enforcement staff will broaden data reports that show enforcement activity beyond the Lacy and Logan neighborhoods within the TZC, where at the time of adoption of the Urgency Interim Ordinance on April 16, 2024, 17 active open cases were issued Notice of Violations and administrative citations for the following types of violations: illegal storage, land use, zoning, property and landscape maintenance, unpermitted work, business license, and certificate of occupancy. Such violations include issues of odors, dust, traffic, noise, vibrations, and other documented impacts. The close proximity of active open industrial cases during a short period is creating a public nuisance that is harming public health, safety, and general welfare of the two residential neighborhoods from the concentration of open code enforcement cases nearby. Review of Records and Activities of External Agencies To broaden the analysis beyond the City's local land use impacts, City staff have initiated public records requests of violation records and violation status of outside regulatory agencies, and have contacted staff from external regulatory agencies such as the South Coast Air Quality Monitoring District (SCAQMD), Santa Ana Regional Quality Water Control Board, the Department of Toxic Substances Control, and others responsible for issuing supportive permits for industrial uses in the TZC. Specifically, these agencies are responsible for permit issuance, compliance activities, and/or monitoring hazardous clean-up sites, or other industrial facility-related activities and have received current data requests for sites located within SD No. 84. Data from external regulatory agencies would assist City staff in further understanding activities between external regulatory agencies and industrial businesses that may place additional impacts on public health, safety, and welfare in affected neighborhoods adjacent to industrial businesses in the TZC. This information would enable City staff to understand the correlation and environmental burdens that may be attributed to permitted activities for industrial businesses in historically environmentally disadvantaged communities, specifically the Logan and Lacy neighborhoods. In         City Council 24 – 345 6/3/2025 Ten-Day Report Describing Measures Taken to Alleviate the Condition which Led to the Adoption of Urgency Interim Ordinance No. NS-3063 (Transit Zoning Code Moratorium) May 7, 2024 Page 4 4 2 4 4 response to the City’s request, SCAQMD clarified the need to process the records request by larger geographic areas, not specifically matching the boundaries of the TZC. When reports become available to the City, additional time will be needed for City staff to carefully review and analyze other internal data to understand all activities (internal and external) and affected industrial businesses. Comprehensive Zoning Code Update and Neighborhood Engagement City staff continues to work with Project Consultant Moore, Iacofano, Goltsman, Inc. (MIG) to ensure the City’s Zoning Code and General Plan are consistent and, to maintain compliance with state law, comprehensive amendments to the Zoning Code are required. MIG and City staff have already conducted extensive community outreach, stakeholder interviews, and reviews of existing zoning-related codes and policies in Santa Ana. These early efforts have indicated that the irreconcilable land use conflicts and land use inconsistencies in the TZC area are among the top, most pressing topics that must be addressed as part of the comprehensive Zoning Code Update process in order to protect the health, safety, and welfare of the most vulnerable communities that face the impacts of the land use conflicts within the TZC area. City staff from the Neighborhood Initiatives and Environmental Services (NIES) section of the Planning Division will continue to coordinate with City departments, external regulatory agencies, and staff from other federal and state agencies to identify additional resources available to enhance deeper awareness of pollution exposure in disadvantaged communities, long-term health effects, and immediate solutions. The NIES team has held meetings and discussions with staff from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention/Agency for Toxic Substances and Disease Registry and CalEPA Environmental Justice Team to identify opportunities for linking environmental justice (EJ) resources and support to the Logan and Lacy neighborhoods. In addition, the NIES team has been working with the residents selected to represent the City’s EJ Clusters to complete the formation of the EJ Action Committee, the community-led EJ advocacy group, to guide the prioritization and resource investments to implement the City’s General Plan EJ Policies and Implementation Actions. Next Steps Staff implements the 45-day moratorium established by Urgency Interim Ordinance No. NS-3063 through ongoing interagency coordination. Moreover, staff will continue to analyze and prepare an evaluation of industrial business uses within the TZC, which will enable staff to generate recommendations to the Planning Commission and City Council to determine whether an extension of the 45-day moratorium is recommended. If an extension is recommended, it would be placed on the May 21, 2024 City Council agenda as a public hearing item, which is prior to the June 1 expiration date.         City Council 24 – 346 6/3/2025 Ten-Day Report Describing Measures Taken to Alleviate the Condition which Led to the Adoption of Urgency Interim Ordinance No. NS-3063 (Transit Zoning Code Moratorium) May 7, 2024 Page 5 4 2 4 4 During the 45-day moratorium and any potential extension period, staff will evaluate if further, permanent action to address the land use conflicts in the TZC is necessary. Such action may entail a zoning map amendment, zoning text amendment, or both, which would permanently address industrial land uses in the TZC.

NS-3063 AN URGENCY ORDINANCE OF THE CITY OF SANTA ANA PURSUANT TO GOVERNMENT CODE SECTION 65858 ADOPTING A 45-DAY MORATORIUM ON THE APPROVAL, COMMENCEMENT, ESTABLISHMENT, RELOCATION OR EXPANSION OF INDUSTRIAL USES WITHIN SPECIFIC DEVELOPMENT NO. 84 ZONING DISTRICT WHEREAS, the City of Santa Ana has the police power pursuant to Article XI, section 7 of the California Constitution, to make and enforce ordinances to regulate the use of land within its jurisdictional boundaries; and WHEREAS, Government Code Section 65858 expressly authorizes the City Council, in order to protect the public health, safety and welfare, to adopt an interim urgency ordinance prohibiting a use that is in conflict with a contemplated general plan, specific plan, or zoning proposal that the legislative body, planning commission, or the planning department is considering or studying or intends to study within a reasonable time, provided that the urgency measure shall require a four -fifths vote of the legislative body for adoption, and shall be of no further force and effect forty-five (45) days from its date of adoption, unless duly extended; and WHEREAS, Specific Development No. 84 zoning district, also known as the Transit Zoning Code (TZC), located in the central core of Santa Ana, comprises approximately 450 acres, encompasses the Logan, Lacy, and Downtown neighborhoods, and was adopted by the City Council on June 7, 2010; and WHEREAS, upon the initial adoption of the TZC in 2010, the General Plan of the City of Santa Ana was updated with new land use designations for the areas covered by the TZC to allow for new, mixed -use residential and commercial communities; and WHEREAS, the goals of the TZC are to provide a transit -supportive, pedestrian - oriented development framework to support the addition of new and enhancement of existing communities through transit infrastructure; to preserve and reinforce the existing character and pedestrian nature of the City by strengthening urban form through improved development and design standards; to encourage alternative modes of transportation; to provide zoning for the integration of new infill development into existing neighborhoods; to provide for a range of housing options; and to allow for the reuse of existing structures; and WHEREAS, industrial uses were established within the Logan and Lacy neighborhoods in close proximity to sensitive land uses such as residences and schools prior to the adoption of the TZC, as far back as the late 1 gth century, predating modern Ordinance No. INS - 3063 Page 1 of 8        City Council 24 – 348 6/3/2025 zoning practices that take into account irreconcilable land use conflicts among variegated land uses; and WHEREAS, the TZC provides new mixed -use zoning for properties contained within its boundary while creating industrial overlay zones allowing properties being used as industrial uses at the time of its adoption to continue to be governed by industrial zoning districts until such time that properties were converted to the mixed - use zones allowed by the TZC; and WHEREAS, Senate Bill (SB) 1000 went into effect in 2018, requiring local governments to identify environmental justice communities, called "disadvantaged communities', in their jurisdictions and address environmental justice in their general plans through facilitating transparency and public engagement in the planning and decision -making processes, reducing harmful pollutants and the associated health risks in disadvantaged communities, and promoting equitable access to health -inducing benefits such as healthy housing options; and WHEREAS, the City of Santa Ana completed a comprehensive update of its General Plan in April 2022; and WHEREAS, the Office of the Attorney General of the State of California was actively involved in ensuring Santa Ana's General Plan update complied with all aspects of SB 1000 prior to its adoption; and WHEREAS, as required by SB 1000, update of the General Plan and its associated land use plan identified and addressed long standing environmental justice issues throughout all of its elements, which include 77 implementation actions aimed at reducing harmful pollutants and associated health risks in disadvantaged communities; and WHEREAS, numerous policies of the General Plan are inconsistent with the present, irreconcilable land use pattern of the TZC. Specifically, these policies include Policy LU-1.1 (Compatible Uses), Policy LU-3.8 (Sensitive Receptors), Policy LU-3.9 Noxious, Hazardous, Dangerous, and Polluting Uses), Policy LU-3.11 (Air Pollution Buffers), Policy LU-4.3 (Sustainable Land Use Strategies), Policy LU-4.6 (Healthy Living Conditions), Policy CM-3.2 (Healthy Neighborhoods), Policy EP-1.9 (Avoid Conflict of Uses), and Policy CN-1.5 (Sensitive Receptor Decisions), which are targeted at correcting past land use planning practices that have placed an unequitable environmental and health burden on certain neighborhoods now termed disadvantaged communities; and WHEREAS, the industrial overlay zones in the TZC perpetuate past planning practices of locating industrial uses, or other noxious and unwanted uses, in close proximity to communities of color; and Ordinance No. NS - 3063 Page 2 of 8        City Council 24 – 349 6/3/2025 WHEREAS, the Logan neighborhood is the oldest Mexican and Mexican - American neighborhood in Santa Ana and one of the oldest in Orange County, and one of the few places where Mexicans and those of Mexican descent were allowed to buy land due to restrictions and covenants based on race during the first half of the 20th century and WHEREAS, the construction of Santa Ana (1-5) Freeway through Santa Ana in the 1950s resulted in a number of families being displaced through the demolition of single-family homes in the northeastern portion of the Logan neighborhood; and WHEREAS, in the 1970s a proposed expansion of an arterial highway along Civic Center Avenue would have demolished a significant portion, if not all, of the Logan neighborhood; and WHEREAS, the Logan and Lacy neighborhoods are within the second and third highest scored census tracts in Santa Ana, each with a composite score of 90 percent or greater, ranking in the 90th percentile or greater of census tracts in the State, and identified as "disadvantaged communities" by the Office of Environmental Health Hazard Assessment (OEHHA) in its CalEnviroScreen model; and WHEREAS, Assembly Bill (AB) 686 requires local jurisdictions to take deliberate actions to explicitly address, combat, and relieve disparities to disadvantaged communities, such as Logan and Lacy neighborhoods, resulting from past patterns of segregation, disinvestment, and planning practices; and WHEREAS, the updated land use plan in the Land Use Element of the General Plan does not designate any properties within the TZC, including the Logan or Lacy neighborhoods, as industrial; rather, are designated as varying intensities of District Center or Urban Neighborhood land use designations —both of which are inconsistent with industrial uses; and WHEREAS, there are pressing and growing code enforcement complaints stemming from the irreconcilable land use conflicts in the TZC. Specifically, in the Logan and Lacy neighborhoods, the City's Code Enforcement Division has investigated over 33 commercial and industrial properties in the past nine months and currently has 17 active open cases that have been issued Notice of Violations and administrative citations for the following types of violations: illegal storage, land use, zoning, property and landscape maintenance, unpermitted work, business license, and certificate of occupancy. The close proximity of active open industrial cases during a short period of time is creating a public nuisance that is draining City resources and that is harming public health, safety, and general welfare of the TZC's existing and new residential neighborhoods from the concentration of open code enforcement cases nearby; and WHEREAS, in the Logan neighborhood, 52 industrial facilities (automotive, warehouse/storage, crematory, towing yards, construction) are presently in close proximity to sensitive uses monitored by external regulatory agencies such as South Ordinance No. INS - 3063 Page 3 of 8        City Council 24 – 350 6/3/2025 Coast AQMD, Orange County Health Care Agency — Certified Unified Program Agencies (OC CUPA), Santa Ana Regional Water Quality Board (SARWQB), Orange County Fire Authority. Industrial facilities have caused significant pollution exposure to disadvantaged communities, including lead risk in soil and housing, diesel particulate matter from idling trucks, toxic release from facilities, traffic impacts, noise pollution, and airborne particulate matter or fine inhalable particles of 2.5 (PM2.5) microns or less in diameter. CalEnviroScreen reports higher environmental effects from active facility cleanup sites, hazardous waste facilities, and solid waste locations. Cumulative health impacts in the area include asthma, cardiovascular disease, and low birth weight, in this overburdened disadvantaged community factored by socioeconomic indicators of poverty, linguistic isolation, housing burden, and education; and WHEREAS, in the Lacy neighborhood, 76 industrial facilities (automotive, warehouse/storage, towing yards, construction) are presently in close proximity to sensitive uses monitored by external regulatory agencies such as South Coast AQMD, Orange County Health Care Agency — Certified Unified Program Agencies (OC CUPA), Santa Ana Regional Water Quality Board (SARWQB), Orange County Fire Authority. Industrial facilities have caused significant pollution onto disadvantaged communities, including lead risk exposure, diesel particulate matter from idling trucks, toxic release from facilities, traffic impacts, noise pollution, vibration impacts, and airborne particulate matter or fine inhalable particles of 2.5 (PM2.5) microns or less in diameter. CalEnviroScreen reports higher environmental effects from active facility cleanup sites, hazardous waste facilities, and solid waste locations. Cumulative health impacts in the area include asthma, cardiovascular disease, and low birth weight, in this overburdened disadvantaged community factored by socioeconomic indicators of poverty, linguistic isolation, housing burden, and education; and WHEREAS, there is a recent surge in residential development activity in the TZC that is exacerbating the irreconcilable land use conflicts between residential and industrial land uses. Examples include the Lacy Crossing residential development with over 100 ownership units directly adjacent to existing industrial land uses, for which the City receives regular complaints from residential occupants of disturbances from noise, vibrations, odors, and truck traffic; and the Rafferty mixed -use development with 218 residential units, including 11 onsite units for very -low income households, which is located less than one -fifth of a mile from industrial land uses; and WHEREAS, there is a marked increase in the pending and active development applications for industrial land uses in the TZC, including for contractor's yards, construction debris storage yards, manufacturing operations, expansion of existing industrial businesses, and storage and warehousing operations, stemming from shifting economic demands for goods and services emerging from the Covid-19 pandemic; and WHEREAS, The City Council approved a contract with Moore, lacofano, Goltsman, Inc. (MIG) on October 17, 2023. To ensure the City's Zoning Code and General Plan are consistent, and to maintain compliance with state law, comprehensive amendments to the Zoning Code are required; and Ordinance No. NS - 3063 Page 4 of 8        City Council 24 – 351 6/3/2025 WHEREAS, MIG and City staff have conducted extensive community outreach, stakeholder interviews, and reviews of existing zoning -related codes and policies in Santa Ana. These early efforts have indicated that the irreconcilable land use conflicts and land use inconsistencies in the TZC area are among the top, most pressing topics that must be addressed as part of the comprehensive Zoning Code Update process in order to protect the health, safety, and welfare of the most vulnerable communities that face the impacts of the land use conflicts within the TZC area; and WHEREAS, the policies and implementation actions in the General Plan also require review, study, and possible revision in order to respond to recent concerns relating to the impacts of these industrial business uses in the TZC; and WHEREAS, given these concerns, the City Council hereby directs that a study be undertaken of the current provisions of the TZC to address industrial business uses and determine whether such uses should be permitted in the zoning district, and if not, proceed with an ordinance amendment to preclude such uses from the district; and WHEREAS, based on the foregoing, the City Council finds that continuing to issue permits, business licenses, or other applicable entitlements to individuals wishing to use their property located in the TZC for the purposes of industrial business use, prior to the City's completion of its study of the potential impact of such uses, would pose a current and immediate threat to the public health, safety, and welfare, and that a temporary moratorium on the issuance of such permits, licenses, and entitlements in the TZC area is thus necessary; and WHEREAS, if an industrial business use is permitted in the TZC without further review and potential regulation, it will pose a serious threat to the public interest, health, safety and welfare for the following reasons: 1) Adversely impacts surrounding businesses and neighborhoods; 2) Adversely impacts sensitive uses such as residences, schools, parks, and places where children congregate; 3) Conflicts with the goals and policies of the City's General Plan; 4) Long-term incompatibility and inconsistency with surrounding uses; and 5) Risks to the public health, safety and welfare of the City; and WHEREAS, prevention of detrimental impacts to residents, the public interest, health, safety and welfare requires the immediate enactment of this urgency ordinance. The absence of this urgency ordinance will create a serious threat to the orderly and effective implementation of any code amendments, general plan amendments or specific plan amendments which may be adopted by the City; industrial business uses may be in conflict with or frustrate the contemplated updates and revisions to the Code. Moreover, permitting such uses during said studies and implementation would create Ordinance No. NS - 3063 Page 5 of 8        City Council 24 – 352 6/3/2025 impacts on the public health, safety and welfare that the City Council, in adopting this ordinance, has found to be unacceptable; and WHEREAS, the City Council finds, determines and declares that the current and immediate threat to the public health, safety and welfare of the city and its citizens necessitates the immediate enactment of this urgency ordinance by a four -fifths vote of the City Council. NOW, THEREFORE, the City Council of the City of Santa Ana does ordain as follows: Section 1. The recitals above are each incorporated by reference and adopted as findings by the City Council. Section 2. The City Council finds and determines that this ordinance is not subject to the California Environmental Quality Act ("CEQA") pursuant to sections 15061(b)(3) and 15061(b)(5) of the CEQA Guidelines because it will not result in a direct or reasonably foreseeable indirect physical change in the environment, as the ordinance will temporarily preclude the approval, commencement, establishment, relocation or expansion of uses in the zoning district. Section 3. California Government Code Section 65858 authorizes the City Council to adopt an interim urgency ordinance, without following the procedures otherwise required for the adoption of an ordinance, to protect the public safety, health, and welfare, prohibiting any uses that may be in conflict with a contemplated general plan, specific plan, or zoning proposal that the City Council, Planning Commission or the planning department is considering or studying or intends to study within a reasonable time. Section 4. The City Council, in accordance with Government Code Section 65858, hereby adopts this urgency ordinance establishing a 45-day moratorium on the approval, commencement, establishment, modification, relocation or expansion of industrial uses in the TZC while City staff researches appropriate regulations and whether an extension pursuant to the Government Code is necessary. For the purposes of this Ordinance, "industrial uses" includes those specified by Divisions 18 and 19 of Article III of Chapter 41 of the Santa Ana Municipal Code, and by Section 41-2007 of the Santa Ana Municipal Code and Table 2A in the Transit Zoning Code (Specific Development No. 84). Section 5. This ordinance shall have no further force and effect forty-five (45) days from the date of its adoption; unless, however, after public hearing the City Council members, by four/fifths (4/5) vote, extend this ordinance for an initial period of ten (10) months and fifteen (15) days and subsequently, after public hearing, the City Council members, by four/fifths (4/5) vote, extend this ordinance one more year. Ordinance No. NS - 3063 Page 6 of 8        City Council 24 – 353 6/3/2025 Section 6. It shall be unlawful and a misdemeanor for any person to violate or fail to comply with any provision of the ordinance. The violation of any provision of this ordinance shall be punished as provided in Section 1-8 of Chapter 1 of the Code. Section 7. If any section, subsection, phrase, or clause of this ordinance is for any reason held to be unconstitutional, such decision shall not affect the validity of the remaining portions of this ordinance. The City Council hereby declares that it would have passed this ordinance and each section, subsection, phrase or clause thereof irrespective of the fact that any one or more sections, subsections, phrases, or clauses be declared invalid or unconstitutional. Section 8. This ordinance is introduced, passed and adopted at one and the same meeting and is thereafter immediately effective. The City Council finds that this ordinance is necessary to protect the public safety, health and welfare. The reasons for the emergency are set forth in Section 1 of this ordinance. Section 9. The City Clerk shall certify to the adoption of this ordinance and cause the same to be published in the manner prescribed by law. ADOPTED this 16t' day of April, 2024, APPROVED AS TO FORM: Sonia R.

GOVERNMENT CODE §84308 APPLIES: No EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Staff is recommending adoption of an urgency interim ordinance, pursuant to Government Code Section 65858(a), also known as a moratorium, to address current and immediate threats to public health, safety, and welfare, due to growing code         City Council 24 – 357 6/3/2025 Transit Zoning Code Urgency Interim Ordinance (Moratorium) April 16, 2024 Page 2 4 1 8 7 enforcement complaints stemming from the irreconcilable land use conflicts within the Specific Development No. 84 zoning district (commonly referred to as the “Transit Zoning Code” or “TZC”). Specifically, in the Logan and Lacy neighborhoods, and surrounding areas, the City’s Code Enforcement Division has investigated over 33 commercial and industrial properties in the past nine months and currently has 17 active open cases that have been issued Notice of Violations and administrative citations for the following types of violations: illegal storage, land use, zoning, property and landscape maintenance, unpermitted work, business license, and certificate of occupancy. The close proximity of active open industrial cases during a short period is creating a public nuisance that is straining City resources and that is harming public health, safety, and general welfare of the TZC’s existing and new residential neighborhoods. If adopted, the urgency ordinance would establish a 45-day moratorium on the approval, commencement, establishment, modification, relocation, or expansion of industrial uses in the TZC while City staff researches appropriate regulations and determines whether an extension pursuant to the Government Code is necessary. The urgency ordinance shall have no further force and effect 45-days from the date of its adoption, unless, after a report on the first 45 days and a public hearing, the City Council members, again by four/fifths (4/5) vote, extend this ordinance for an initial extension period of ten (10) months and fifteen (15) days. DISCUSSION Background Specific Development No. 84 (the Transit Zoning Code) The Specific Development No. 84 zoning district, also known as the Transit Zoning Code (“TZC”), is located in the central urban core of the City and comprises over 100 blocks and 450 acres. The TZC includes the Civic Center, Downtown, and the Logan and Lacy neighborhoods, which are among the City’s most historic in age and in established residential communities. As shown in Exhibit 2, the TZC is generally bounded by First Street, Flower Street, Civic Center Drive, Grand Avenue, and the Santa Ana (I-5) Freeway. Prior to the implementation of the TZC, the area consisted of a wide range of civic, commercial, industrial, and residential land uses under a variegated amalgamation of zoning districts and their regulations. In June 2010, the City Council adopted Ordinance No. NS-2804, adopting various entitlements approving the creation of the TZC. The TZC established a transit- supportive, pedestrian-oriented development framework to support the addition of new transit infrastructure; preserve and reinforce the existing character and pedestrian nature of the City by strengthening urban form through improved development and         City Council 24 – 358 6/3/2025 Transit Zoning Code Urgency Interim Ordinance (Moratorium) April 16, 2024 Page 3 4 1 8 7 design standards; encourage alternative modes of transportation; provide for a range of housing options; and allow for the reuse of existing structures. Moreover, the TZC provided new zoning for all of the properties contained within its boundary with the exception of those properties zoned Light Industrial (M1) or Heavy Industrial (M2). These M1 and M2 properties retained their existing zoning, but were covered by two overlay zones that allows for the option of future mixed-use development to be exercised at the discretion of the property owner. In support of the TZC, the City Council also approved a General Plan amendment, establishing numerous mixed-use General Plan land use designations for the entirety of the TZC. In these industrial overlay areas, however, the resulting new General Plan land use designations immediately resulted in zoning inconsistencies and land use conflicts between the new General Plan land use designations and the industrial overlays. Since 2010, and specifically in the Logan and Lacy neighborhoods, these industrial uses have remained, changed ownership, undergone expansions or intensifications, and created numerous land use conflicts and disturbances that affect surrounding residential communities. Specifically, in the Logan neighborhood alone, these land uses create quality of life, health and safety, and other trespass issues for residential properties that often directly abut these industrial land uses. These issues include odors, dust, traffic, noise, vibrations, and other documented impacts that have taken place for nearly a decade and a half, despite the change in underlying General Plan land use designation. Comprehensive Zoning Code Update The City Council approved a contract with Moore, Iacofano, Goltsman, Inc. (MIG) on October 17, 2023. To ensure the City’s Zoning Code and General Plan are consistent, and to maintain compliance with state law, comprehensive amendments to the Zoning Code are required. Necessary amendments include the creation of new zoning district designations and corresponding development standards; updates to the definitions, signage, nonconforming, and parking sections; reorganization of the entire Zoning Code to a more user-friendly format; and new standards to reflect new land use trends, economic development trends, and land use goals of the City. MIG and City staff have conducted extensive community outreach, stakeholder interviews, and reviews of existing zoning-related codes and policies in Santa Ana. These early efforts have indicated that the irreconcilable land use conflicts and land use inconsistencies in the TZC area are among the top, most pressing topics that must be addressed as part of the comprehensive Zoning Code Update process in order to protect the health, safety, and welfare of the most vulnerable communities that face the impacts of the land use conflicts within the TZC area.         City Council 24 – 359 6/3/2025 Transit Zoning Code Urgency Interim Ordinance (Moratorium) April 16, 2024 Page 4 4 1 8 7 Historically Disadvantaged Communities Prior to the adoption of the City’s Transit Zoning Code (TZC), the City permitted industrial uses within the Logan and Lacy neighborhoods in close proximity to sensitive land uses such as residences and schools. By way of context, the Logan neighborhood represents the oldest Mexican and Mexican-American neighborhoods of Santa Ana and one of the oldest barrios in Orange County, and one of the few places where Mexicans and those of Mexican descent were allowed to buy land due to restrictions and covenants based on race during the first half of the 20th century. Moreover, as a neighborhood, the area was established before the modern practice of separating impactful land uses, also known as zoning. The Logan neighborhood itself originated as early as 1886 and was largely settled by 1900, before the practice of zoning was enshrined by Village of Euclid v. Ambler Realty Co. in 1926. By then, the neighborhood comprised residential, industrial, commercial, and related land uses, with issues further exacerbated by rail lines, fuel storage depots, and the construction of the Santa Ana Freeway between 1947 and 1956. Comprehensive data analysis and mapping tools generated by the California EPA (CalEPA), the Center for Diseases Control/Agency for Toxic Substances and Disease Registry (CDC/ATSDR), the U.S. EPA (EPA), and California Healthy Places Index (HPI), present concerning information regarding environmental conditions impacting residents in the Logan and Lacy neighborhoods. Exhibit 3 of this report references EJ maps showing rankings of at least 90% or higher in heavy air pollution attributed to indicators describing exposure to Particulate Matter (PM) 2.5, Diesel Particulate Matter, Air Toxics Cancer Risk, Toxic Releases to Air, and Hazardous Water Proximity exposures. Multiple sources of environmental exposure and pollution burden into communities of color, including the Logan and Lacy neighborhoods, presents an alarming set of challenges and decline in healthy community conditions that will impact their quality of life and life expectancy with continued heavy industrial uses nearby. Implementation of Senate Bill (SB 1000), City General Plan Update (GPU), and new Environmental Justice (EJ) Policies and Actions SB 1000 went into effect in 2016, requiring local governments to address pollution and other hazards that disproportionately impact low-income and communities of color within their jurisdiction as a way to proactively plan for and address environmental concerns when developing and updating components of the General Plan. During this period, the City began and extended its comprehensive public engagement process for the General Plan Update through its adoption in April 2022. The City and community worked to ensure that the new General Plan included SB 1000 requirements of addressing environmental justice in local general plans through facilitating transparency and public engagement in the planning and decision-making processes, reducing         City Council 24 – 360 6/3/2025 Transit Zoning Code Urgency Interim Ordinance (Moratorium) April 16, 2024 Page 5 4 1 8 7 harmful pollutants and the associated health risks in disadvantaged communities, and promoting equitable access to health-inducing benefits such as healthy housing options. Of note, the new General Plan mixed-use land use designations in the TZC area were largely left intact, including those in the Lacy and Logan neighborhoods, when the General Plan Update was adopted in 2022. Santa Ana’s current General Plan champions implementation policies, including 77 EJ actions that address air quality, noxious uses, water safety, residential lead exposure in the soil, and other environmental public health conditions. City staff, over the past year, have worked on a process to create an EJ Action Committee of EJ cluster area residents, community-based organizations (CBOs), and County and City staff representatives, to guide implementation and resource investments to protect neighborhoods from experiencing any further environmental harm. For the Logan and Lacy neighborhoods, incompatible land uses allowed from past zoning decisions, including the industrial overlay zones, have perpetuated the practices of locating industrial uses or other noxious and unwanted uses, in close proximity to communities of color. Code Enforcement and Immediate Ongoing Issues In the Lacy and Logan neighborhoods within the TZC, the Code Enforcement Division has investigated over 33 commercial and industrial properties in the past nine months and currently has 17 active open cases that have been issued Notice of Violations and administrative citations for the following types of violations: illegal storage, land use, zoning, property and landscape maintenance, unpermitted work, business license, and certificate of occupancy. These violations include issues of odors, dust, traffic, noise, vibrations, and other documented impacts. The close proximity of active open industrial cases during a short period is creating a public nuisance that is harming public health, safety, and general welfare of the two residential neighborhoods from the concentration of open code enforcement cases nearby. Since June 2023, the TZC communities have experienced a marked increase in impacts stemming from the irreconcilable industrial and residential land use conflicts in the Logan and Lacy neighborhoods. Residents in the TZC have increased their reporting of complaints and public health concerns to City staff regarding emitted contaminants and zoning violations from industrial businesses in the neighborhoods. Concerns that range from air pollution and smoke, toxic release exposures, idling trucks on residential streets, lead exposure, illegal storage, unpermitted uses, loud noise at night, and other property maintenance pose an immediate public health threat that is straining public resources to continuously investigate and address these matters. Six months ago, a fire incident at Macera Crematory, located at 1020 Fuller Street, alarmed neighbors at 9:18 p.m. on August 29, 2023. Neighbors shared with City officials disturbing video of high flames escaping the stack on the rooftop, the screeching noise that went nonstop for 10 minutes, and what they described as a foul odor attributed to the fire. As City staff         City Council 24 – 361 6/3/2025 Transit Zoning Code Urgency Interim Ordinance (Moratorium) April 16, 2024 Page 6 4 1 8 7 followed up with external regulatory agencies issuing permits to operate this facility, and quickly, staff observed the limitations from regulatory agencies and their compartmentalized processes to investigate and act on enforcement measures. Since 2022, the City has enhanced community services by restructuring its Planning Division to contain a Neighborhood Initiatives and Environmental Services (NIES) section, which oversees, among other functions, environmental justice efforts in Santa Ana and regional coordination to address such issues. Despite this restructuring, it is now well documented that the NIES section’s coordination with external regulatory agencies has not resulted in a favorable outcome in enforcement by responsible external agencies such as South Coast Air Quality Management District (SCAQMD), California Department of Consumer Affairs Cemetery and Funeral Bureau (CFB), and Orange County Fire Authority (OCFA) in many of these investigations. In response, the City has adopted new regulations such as a Noxious Uses Ordinance (Ordinance No. NS-3044, adopted June 20, 2023), which amends Zoning Ordinance No. 2023-01 that includes: a notification requirement to the City by the property owner to obtain a permit from a regulatory public agency; a requirement of a 1,000 linear foot distance buffer measured from the outermost boundary of the subject property; and a conditional use permit requirement from a regulatory public agency to handle, store, emit, or discharge particulate materials, exhaust emissions, or regulated compounds, or chemicals near a public park, school (K-12), or property zoned for residential purposes. City staff have also researched commercial real estate acquisition data and current for sale properties to identify any trends that could potentially generate an increase in the application of the City’s Noxious Uses Ordinance for proposed or expanded industrial uses. From September 2022 to date, seven properties, primarily industrial businesses, sold and three of those businesses (800-808 E. Washington Avenue, 1045 Fuller Street, and 923 N. Logan Street) are located in the Logan neighborhood. Currently, two large properties are in the market for multifamily and land types located in the TZC. Environmental Justice (EJ)/Disadvantaged Communities (DACs) Profile: Logan and Lacy neighborhood impacts A demographic profile of the Lacy and Logan neighborhoods combined represent a population of 5,907, which encompass 1,564 households, a median household income of $56,864, average household size is nearly four persons, median age is 27 years, per- capita income is $23,495, and 74% comprise renter-occupied units based on demographic forecasts for 2023. Nearly 25% of the population is under 14 years of age and 14% are 55 years of age and older. Nearly 3% of the population attended up to 12th grade with no diploma, over 31% are high school graduates, and nearly 97% of the working population over 16 years of age are employed. This data illustrates that the Logan and Lacy neighborhoods are within the second and third highest scored census tracts in Santa Ana, each with a composite score of 90% or         City Council 24 – 362 6/3/2025 Transit Zoning Code Urgency Interim Ordinance (Moratorium) April 16, 2024 Page 7 4 1 8 7 greater, ranking in the 90th percentile or greater of census tracts in the State, and identified as “disadvantaged communities” by the Office of Environmental Health Hazard Assessment (OEHHA) in its CalEnviroScreen model. Failure to address ongoing irreconcilable land use conflicts that are the target of this moratorium will further exacerbate the ongoing demographic and environmental justice challenges that these two neighborhoods within the TZC have grappled with since their founding. General Plan Inconsistency with Present Land Uses Numerous policies of the General Plan are inconsistent with the present, irreconcilable land use pattern of the TZC. Specifically, these policies include Policy LU-1.1 (Compatible Uses), Policy LU-3.8 (Sensitive Receptors), Policy LU-3.9 (Noxious, Hazardous, Dangerous, and Polluting Uses), Policy LU-3.11 (Air Pollution Buffers), Policy LU-4.3 (Sustainable Land Use Strategies), Policy LU-4.6 (Healthy Living Conditions), Policy CM-3.2 (Healthy Neighborhoods), Policy EP-1.9 (Avoid Conflict of Uses), and Policy CN-1.5 (Sensitive Receptor Decisions), which are targeted at correcting past land use planning practices that have placed an unequitable environmental and health burden on certain neighborhoods now termed disadvantaged communities. The purpose of the interim ordinance is to immediately offer protection of public health, safety, and welfare from these irreconcilable land use conflicts in the TZC, during the time that City staff analyzes and prepares an evaluation of industrial business uses within the TZC. Such an evaluation will enable staff to generate recommendations to the Planning Commission and City Council to determine whether industrial uses should be permitted in the zoning district, and, if not, proceed with an ordinance and zoning map amendment to the district. During the interim moratorium period, City staff will not issue permits, business licenses, or other applicable entitlements to individuals wishing to use their property for the purposes of industrial business use in the TZC. ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT This ordinance is not subject to the California Environmental Quality Act (“CEQA”), as the proposed action is not subject to the requirements of CEQA, pursuant to Guidelines Section 15060(c)(2) because the activity will not result in a direct or reasonably foreseeable indirect physical change in the environment and 15060(c)(3) because the activity is not a project as defined in Section 15378 of the CEQA Guidelines, California Code of Regulations, Title 14, Chapter 3, because it has no potential for resulting in physical change to the environment, directly or indirectly and so is not a project, as the ordinance will temporarily preclude the approval, commencement, establishment, relocation, or expansion of uses in the zoning district. FISCAL IMPACTS There is no fiscal impact associated with this action.         City Council 24 – 363 6/3/2025 Transit Zoning Code Urgency Interim Ordinance (Moratorium) April 16, 2024 Page 8 4 1 8 7 EXHIBITS 1.

These early efforts have indicated that the irreconcilable land use conflicts and land use inconsistencies in the TZC area are among the top, most pressing topics that must be addressed as part of the comprehensive Zoning Code Update process in order to protect the health, safety, and welfare of the most vulnerable communities that face the impacts of the land use conflicts within the TZC area; and WHEREAS, the policies and implementation actions in the General Plan also require review, study, and possible revision in order to respond to recent concerns relating to the impacts of these industrial business uses in the TZC; and WHEREAS, given these concerns, the City Council hereby directs that a study be undertaken of the current provisions of the TZC to address industrial business uses and determine whether such uses should be permitted in the zoning district, and if not, proceed with an ordinance amendment to preclude such uses from the district; and WHEREAS, based on the foregoing, the City Council finds that continuing to issue permits, business licenses, or other applicable entitlements to individuals wishing to use their property located in the TZC for the purposes of industrial business use, prior to the City’s completion of its study of the potential impact of such uses, would pose a current and immediate threat to the public health, safety, and welfare, and that a temporary moratorium on the issuance of such permits, licenses, and entitlements in the TZC area is thus necessary; and WHEREAS, if an industrial business use is permitted in the TZC without further review and potential regulation, it will pose a serious threat to the public interest, health, safety and welfare for the following reasons: (1)Adversely impacts surrounding businesses and neighborhoods; (2)Adversely impacts sensitive uses such as residences, schools, parks, and places where children congregate; (3)Conflicts with the goals and policies of the City's General Plan; (4)Long-term incompatibility and inconsistency with surrounding uses; and (5)Risks to the public health, safety and welfare of the City; and WHEREAS, prevention of detrimental impacts to residents, the public interest, health, safety and welfare requires the immediate enactment of this urgency ordinance. The absence of this urgency ordinance will create a serious threat to the orderly and effective implementation of any code amendments, general plan amendments or specific plan amendments which may be adopted by the City; industrial business uses may be in conflict with or frustrate the contemplated u pdates and revisions to the Code. Moreover, permitting such uses during said studies and implementation would create impacts on the public health, safety and welfare that the City Council, in adopting this ordinance, has found to be unacceptable; and         City Council 24 – 369 6/3/2025 Ordinance No. NS -XXXX Page 6 of 8 WHEREAS, the City Council finds, determines and declares that the current and immediate threat to the public health, safety and welfare of the city and its citizens necessitates the immediate enactment of this urgency ordinance by a four-fifths vote of the City Council. NOW, THEREFORE, the City Council of the City of Santa Ana does ordain as follows: Section 1. The recitals above are each incorporated by reference and adopted as findings by the City Council. Section 2. The City Council finds and determines that this ordinance is not subject to the California Environmental Quality Act (“CEQA”) pursuant to sections 15061(b)(3) and 15061(b)(5) of the CEQA Guidelines because it will not result in a direct or reasonably foreseeable indirect physical change in the environment, as the ordinance will temporarily preclude the approval, commencement, establishment, relocation or expansion of uses in the zoning district. Section 3. California Government Code Section 65858 authorizes the City Council to adopt an interim urgency ordinance, without following the procedures otherwise required for the adoption of an ordinance, to protect the public safety, health, and welfare, prohibiting any uses that may be in conflict with a contemplated general plan, specific plan, or zoning proposal that the City Council, Planning Commission or the planning department is considering or studying or intends to study within a reasonable time. Section 4. The City Council, in accordance with Government Code Section 65858, hereby adopts this urgency ordinance establishing a 45-day moratorium on the approval, commencement, establishment, modification, relocation or expansion of industrial uses in the TZC while City staff researches appropriate regulations and whether an extension pursuant to the Government Code is necessary. For the purposes of this Ordinance, “industrial uses” includes those specified by Divisions 18 and 19 of Article III of Chapter 41 of the Santa Ana Municipal Code, and by Section 41-2007 of the Santa Ana Municipal Code and Table 2A in the Transit Zoning Code (Specific Development No. 84). Section 5. This ordinance shall have no further force and effect forty-five (45) days from the date of its adoption; unless, however, after public hearing the City Council members, by four/fifths (4/5) vote, extend this ordinance for an initial period of ten (10) months and fifteen (15) days and subsequently, after public hearing, the City Council members, by four/fifths (4/5) vote, extend this ordinance one more year. Section 6. It shall be unlawful and a misdemeanor for any person to violate or fail to comply with any provision of the ordinance. The violation of any provision of this ordinance shall be punished as provided in Section 1-8 of Chapter 1 of the Code.         City Council 24 – 370 6/3/2025 Ordinance No. NS - ____ Page 7 of 8 Section 7. If any section, subsection, phrase, or clause of this ordinance is for any reason held to be unconstitutional, such decision shall not affect the validity of the remaining portions of this ordinance. The City Council hereby declares that it would have passed this ordinance and each section, subsection, phrase or clause thereof irrespective of the fact that any one or more sections, subsections, phrases, or clauses be declared invalid or unconstitutional. Section 8. This ordinance is introduced, passed and adopted at one and the same meeting and is thereafter immediately effective. The City Council finds that this ordinance is necessary to protect the public safety, health and welfare. The reasons for the emergency are set forth in Section 1 of this ordinance. Section 9.

Planning Commission 1 – 1 3/6/2025 Exhibit 7 - March 6, 2025 Special Planning Commission Supplemental Staff Report and Exhibits     City Council 24 – 405 6/3/2025 ZOA No. 2024-02 & AA No. 2024-03 (Transit Zoning Code Amendments Supplemental Staff Report to February 24, 2025 Planning Commission Staff Report) March 6, 2025 Page 2 3 3 6 7 BACKGROUND On February 24, 2025, the Santa Ana Planning Commission held a duly noticed public hearing on amendments proposed for the Transit Zoning Code (TZC), ZOA No. 2024-02, the companion Zoning Map amendment, No. 2024-03, and the Addendum to TZC SD-84 Final EIR. Upon hearing all testimony, the Commission closed the public hearing, held discussion, provided direction to staff, and continued the item to a special meeting scheduled for March 6, 2025. The Commission requested that staff conduct and provide certain deliverables for their further consideration of the proposed amendments, in order to render a recommendation to the City Council on the proposed TZC amendments. The three requested actions for staff were as follows: 1) Conduct an additional community meeting collectively, with interested parties in attendance at the hearing, including residents, businesses, and property owners, to facilitate further input on the proposed amendments; 2) Prepare a financial analysis to address potential impacts to the City as a result of adopting the proposed amendments; and 3) Provide a legal briefing related to potential challenges that may result from adoption of the proposed amendments. DISCUSSION The actionable items requested by the Commission have been addressed by staff and are summarized below. Community Meeting – March 3, 2025 Staff held the requested additional community meeting with interested parties, including business owners, property owners, residents and others, on Monday, March 3, 2025, from 5:30 p.m. to 7:30 p.m. at the Santa Ana Regional Transportation Center (SARTC) First Floor Conference Room (1000 E. Santa Ana Blvd.) to garner additional feedback about the proposed changes. For a summary of the meeting, meeting format, and conclusions from the meeting, please refer to Exhibit 1. As a result of the input received at that meeting, combined with the prior analysis of the proposed amendments as outlined in the February 24, 2025, Planning Commission staff report, staff proposes making clarifying edits as well as text edits to the Ordinance presented to the Planning Commission on February 24, 2025, as provided in Exhibit 2 (Clarifications to ZOA No. 2024-02). Specifically, the clarifications address typographical errors as well as the emergent themes from the March 3rd community meeting related to hours of operation and clarifying that nonconforming and “legal” nonconforming are one and the same term for the purposes of implementing the TZC.   Planning Commission 1 – 2 3/6/2025       City Council 24 – 406 6/3/2025 ZOA No. 2024-02 & AA No. 2024-03 (Transit Zoning Code Amendments Supplemental Staff Report to February 24, 2025 Planning Commission Staff Report) March 6, 2025 Page 3 3 3 6 7 Financial Information related to adoption of proposed TZC amendments The Planning Commission requested City staff to provide financial information specifically on the amendments’ effects on City revenues that would result from the proposed ordinance. Staff from the City’s Finance and Management Services Agency evaluated aggregate financial information using data sources for the City’s tax base that include sales tax, property tax, businesses license tax, and utility users’ tax within the TZC. This information will be provided as part of City staff’s presentation during the scheduled meeting. Lastly, due to confidentiality requirements, revenue details provided are in general and aggregate form, preventing the disclosure of individual business revenue. The fiscal information is intended for general informational purposes only. The actual fiscal impact cannot be determined and may vary significantly due to numerous unpredictable factors, including the fact the proposed ordinance does not propose the closure of any business; rendering businesses uses legal nonconforming does not preclude the establishment of a new, similar business in the same location that may result in no change to the City’s revenues; fluctuations in economic conditions; and potential changes in business operations. Legal Analysis The Commission requested that the City Attorney provide a briefing related to legal challenges to the proposed TZC amendments, specifically the creation of nonconforming status to business and structures, and the general argument of a “taking,” as that term is used legally. The City Attorney’s Office has provided a confidential memorandum separately to the Planning Commission summarizing these legal questions. Due to the potential for litigation, the information contained in the memorandum is considered client privileged and confidential. ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT The California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) requires public agencies and local governments to measure the environmental impacts of development projects or other major land use decisions, and to limit or avoid those impacts if possible. CEQA Guidelines Section 15164 states the following with respect to an Addendum to an EIR: a) The lead agency or responsible agency shall prepare an addendum to a previously certified EIR if some changes or additions are necessary but none of the conditions described in Section 15162 calling for preparation of a subsequent EIR have occurred. b) An addendum to an adopted negative declaration may be prepared if only minor technical changes or additions are necessary or none of the conditions described in Section 15162 calling for the preparation of a subsequent EIR or negative declaration have occurred. c) An addendum need not be circulated for public review but can be included in or attached to the final EIR or adopted negative declaration.  Planning Commission 1 – 3 3/6/2025       City Council 24 – 407 6/3/2025 ZOA No. 2024-02 & AA No. 2024-03 (Transit Zoning Code Amendments Supplemental Staff Report to February 24, 2025 Planning Commission Staff Report) March 6, 2025 Page 4 3 3 6 7 d) The decision-making body shall consider the addendum with the final EIR or adopted negative declaration prior to making a decision on the project. e) A brief explanation of the decision not to prepare a subsequent EIR pursuant to Section 15162 should be included in an addendum to an EIR, the lead agency’s findings on the project, or elsewhere in the record. The explanation must be supported by substantial evidence. Additionally, CEQA Guidelines Section 15162, Subsequent EIRs and Negative Declarations, states the following with respect to a Subsequent EIRs: (a) When an EIR has been certified or a negative declaration adopted for a project, no subsequent EIR shall be prepared for that project unless the lead agency determines, on the basis of substantial evidence in the light of the whole record, one or more of the following: (1) Substantial changes are proposed in the project which will require major revisions of the previous EIR or negative declaration due to the involvement of new significant environmental effects or a substantial increase in the severity of previously identified significant effects; (2) Substantial changes occur with respect to the circumstances under which the project is undertaken which will require major revisions of the previous EIR or Negative Declaration due to the involvement of new significant environmental effects or a substantial increase in the severity of previously identified significant effects; or (3) New information of substantial importance, which was not known and could not have been known with the exercise of reasonable diligence at the time the previous EIR was certified as complete or the Negative Declaration was adopted, shows any of the following: (A)The project will have one or more significant effects not discussed in the previous EIR or negative declaration; (B)Significant effects previously examined will be substantially more severe than shown in the previous EIR; (C)Mitigation measures or alternatives previously found not to be feasible would in fact be feasible, and would substantially reduce one or more significant effects of the project, but the project proponents decline to adopt the mitigation measure or alternative; or (D)Mitigation measures or alternatives which are considerably different from those analyzed in the previous EIR would substantially reduce one or more significant effects on the environment, but the project proponents decline to adopt the mitigation measure or alternative. (b) If changes to a project or its circumstances occur or new information becomes available after adoption of a negative declaration, the lead agency shall prepare a subsequent EIR if required under subdivision (a). Otherwise, the lead agency shall determine whether to prepare a subsequent negative declaration, an addendum, or no further documentation.   Planning Commission 1 – 4 3/6/2025       City Council 24 – 408 6/3/2025 ZOA No. 2024-02 & AA No. 2024-03 (Transit Zoning Code Amendments Supplemental Staff Report to February 24, 2025 Planning Commission Staff Report) March 6, 2025 Page 5 3 3 6 7 ZOA No. 2024-02 and AA No. 2024-03 are considered a project as defined by the CEQA. The City, as the Lead Agency, has determined that it is subject to CEQA guidelines and regulations (Public Resources Code (PRC) Sections 21000-21177).

Specifically, pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Section 15162, the City finds on the basis of substantial evidence in light of the whole record, that: (1) no substantial changes are proposed in the project which will require major revisions of the EIR due to the involvement of new significant environmental effects or a substantial increase in the severity of previously identified significant effects; (2) no substantial changes have occurred with respect to the circumstances under which the project is undertaken which will require major revisions of the EIR due to the involvement of new significant environmental effects or a substantial increase in the severity of previously identified significant effects; and (3) there is no new information of substantial importance, which was not known and could not have been known with the exercise of reasonable diligence at the time the EIR was certified as complete, that shows any of the following: (A) the project will have one or more significant effects not discussed in the EIR; (B) significant effect previously examined will be substantially more severe than shown in the EIR; (C) mitigation measures or alternatives previously found not to be feasible would in fact be feasible and would substantially reduce one or more significant effects of the project, but the project proponents decline to adopt the mitigation measure or alternative; or (D) mitigation measures or alternative which are considerably different from those analyzed in the EIR would substantially reduce one or more significant effects on the environment, but the project proponents decline to adopt the mitigation measure or alternative. Additionally, as detailed in the General Plan Consistency subsection of the Planning Commission’s February 24, 2025 staff report, attached as Exhibit 6 (February 24, 2025 Planning Commission Staff Report, without attachments), the proposed Ordinances are consistent with numerous General Plan goals and policies that were evaluated as part of the General Plan Update Program EIR.

To ensure inclusivity, staff also arranged for Spanish interpretation services for the community meeting. Location The meeting was held on Monday, March 3, 2025, from 5:30 p.m. to 7:30 p.m., at the Santa Ana Regional Transportation Center (SARTC) First Floor Conference Room. The meeting location is located within the boundaries of the Transit Zoning Code and in close proximity to both established residential communities within the district and properties with an industrial overlay subzone. Participation Format The meeting included a presentation that covered the major points of the proposed ordinance and the purpose of the meeting as directed by the Planning Commission, with a majority of the meeting time allocated to small group discussion. The small group   Planning Commission 1 – 7 3/6/2025       City Council 24 – 411 6/3/2025 Exhibit 1: Transit Zoning Code (SD-84) March 3, 2025 Community Meeting Summary Page 2 discussion format kept the meeting focused on facilitating a productive dialogue, achieving consensus and thoughtful solutions, with discussion centered on two questions: 1) What industrial and quasi-industrial business types operating today within the district can be considered compatible with residential uses? 2) What new proposed operational standards—for example, limits on hours of operation, prohibition on truck idling—create the greatest concerns for businesses, and how might they be adjusted/refined without adversely impacting residential uses? Attendance and Randomly-Assigned Small Groups Approximately, 120 people attended the March 3, 2025, meeting comprised of residents, businesses, property owners, real estate brokers, community-based organizations, and staff from the offices of elected representatives. Of those in attendance, approximately, 58 percent represented businesses and 36 percent of the community members in attendance were residents of the area. Although staff recognizes that not all attendees sign in, the meeting sign in sheets indicate 94 contacts. To fulfill the Planning Commission's directive for open community dialogue, staff designed a check-in system that randomly assigned attendees to small groups using color stickers to help balance representation from resident and businesses. At the check-in tables, attendees indicated whether they were a resident, business or property owner, and their nametag included color stickers to assign them randomly to a small group. Each group included a facilitator led by City staff or one of the City’s planning consultants to help guide the discussion and comments to identify areas of commonality, or compromise from residents and businesses regarding the proposed amendments. Lastly, Spanish interpreters were present at one of the small groups to facilitate mono-lingual Spanish speakers’ participation in the meeting. Conclusion The meeting was held in accordance with and satisfied the Planning Commission’s direction provided to staff on February 24, 2025 to conduct a community meeting with both business owners and residents. Areas of consensus included ensuring that the ordinance addresses the most impactful industrial businesses, while areas of disagreement remain in the extent to which the proposed amendments will result in land use changes. Lastly, specific feedback from business owners addressing the definition of craft and specialized automotive restoration service, hours of operation, and the   Planning Commission 1 – 8 3/6/2025       City Council 24 – 412 6/3/2025 Exhibit 1: Transit Zoning Code (SD-84) March 3, 2025 Community Meeting Summary Page 3 terms “nonconforming use” and “legal nonconforming use” having the same meaning, have been added to Exhibit 2 (Clarifications to ZOA No. 2024-02).   Planning Commission 1 – 9 3/6/2025       City Council 24 – 413 6/3/2025 Exhibit 2: Clarifications to ZOA No. 2024-02 1 The following represents clarifications proposed to the draft Ordinance text published for the February 24, 2025, Planning Commission hearing agenda.

(3) Project Under Construction. A project for which a Building Permit has been issued may be continued and completed in compliance with the plans and specifications upon which the permit was issued.” Section 8. Section 41-2006 (Zones Established) of Chapter 41 of the Santa Ana Municipal Code is hereby amended, including the replacement of Figure 2.1, to read as follows: “Sec. 41-2006. Zones Established (a) Purpose. This section establishes the zones app lied to property within the plan area by the Regulating Plan. The Regulating Plan divides the plan area into separate zones that are based on a transect of intensity within the plan area that ranges from the most urban types of development and land use to the least urban types, with most zones providing for a significant mixture of land uses within them. This approach differs from conventional zoning maps that typically divide cities into zones that rigidly segregate residential, commercial, industrial, an d institutional uses into separate areas, and thereby require residents to drive for nearly all daily activities. The use of zones based on development intensity (instead of land use zones) as the spatial basis for regulating development, directly reflects the functions of, and interrelationships between, each part of the plan area. The zones also effectively implement the City’s urban design objectives for each part of the plan area, to establish and maintain attractive distinctions between each zone. This is why some parcels are zoned with more than one zone. In such cases, the zoning is divided along a clear boundary such as the middle of a block. The zones of this Regulating Plan allocate architectural types, frontage types, and land uses within the plan area, as well as providing detailed standards for building placement, height and profile. The diagram to the right Figure 2.1 identifies the eight (8) 9 zones applied within the plan area as they relate to existing rights -of- way and parcels. (b) Zones established. The following zones are applicable to this specific plan, and applied to property within the boundary as shown on the Regulating Plan. (1) Transit Village (TV) Zone. The Transit Village zone is intended to provide standards for compact transit - supportive mixed-use/residential development. This zone is characterized by a wide range of building intensity, including mixed-use tower-on-podium buildings, flex blocks, liners, stacked flats, and courtyard housing. The zone accommodates retail, restaurant, entertainment, and other pedestrian-oriented uses at street level, with offices and flats above in the mixed -use building types, at high intensities and densities. The landscape palette is urban, with shading   Planning Commission 1 – 26 3/6/2025       City Council 24 – 430 6/3/2025 Ordinance No. NS-XXX Page 15 of 49 and accent street trees in parkway strips along Santa Ana Boulevard, and in sidewalk tree wells where on-street parking is provided. Parking is accommodated on-street, in structures with liner buildings, and underground. (2) Government Center (GC) Zone. This area accommodates a wide variety of civic uses, including Federal, State, and local government offices and services, libraries, museums, community centers, and other civic assembly facilities and is identified, but not regulated, by this Article. Refer to City requirements as identified in SAMC Chapter 41. Building types vary according to their public purpose, are programmed by the various government agencies for their specific sites, and therefore are not coded by this Article the Transit Zoning Code (SD84A and SD84B). The landscape style is urban, emphasizing shading street trees in sidewalk tree wells, and in landscaped public plazas. (3) Downtown (DT) Zone. This zone is applied to the historical shopping district of Santa Ana, a vital, pedestrian-oriented area that is defined by multi-story urban building types (flex blocks, live-work, stacked dwellings, and courtyard housing in the Downtown edges) accommodating a mixture of retail, office, light service, and residential uses. The standards of this zone are intended to reinforce the form and character represented by pre-World War II buildings and recognized as a National Historic District, through restoration, rehabilitation, and context- sensitive infill. The standards also facilitate the replacement or improvement of post-war development that eliminated the pedestrian orientation of various downtown blocks (for example, parking structures with no features of pedestrian interest along their entire lengths). The landscape st yle is urban, emphasizing shading and accent street trees in sidewalk tree wells. Parking is accommodated on-street and may also be in structures with liner buildings, underground, and within block centers in surface lots not visible from streets. (4) Urban Center (UC) Zone. This zone is applied to the area surrounding the Downtown, which serves as a transitional area to the surrounding lower intensity neighborhoods and to other areas where mixed-use and multi-unit residential buildings create a pedestrian- oriented urban fabric. The zone provides for a variety of non -residential uses and a mix of housing types at medium intensities and densities. Besides accommodating community serving businesses, this zone may also serve the daily convenience shopping and service needs of nearby residents. Building types include mixed-use Flex Blocks, stacked flats, live-work, row- houses, and courtyard housing. The landscape is urban, emphasizing shading street trees in sidewalk tree wells. Parking is accommodated on -street and may also be in structures with liner buildings and underground in areas adjacent to the DT zone, and in surface lots away from street frontages. (5) Corridor (CDR) Zone. This zone is applied to properties fronting existing commercial corridors and provides standards to improve pedestrian-orientation in a transit-supportive, mixed-use area. Mixed-use flex block and live-work building types are at or   Planning Commission 1 – 27 3/6/2025       City Council 24 – 431 6/3/2025 Ordinance No. NS-XXX Page 16 of 49 near the sidewalk, and accommodate street level retail, service, and office uses, with office and residential above. The landscape style is urban, emphasizing shading street trees in sidewalk tree wells. Parking is accommodated on-street, and in screened surface lots between buildings, or away from streets, with no more than half the site frontage occupied by parking. (6) Urban Neighborhood 2 (UN-2) Zone. This zone is applied to primarily residential areas intended to accommodate a variety of housing types, with some opportunities for live -work, neighborhood- serving retail, and cafes. Appropriate building types include single dwellings, duplexes, triplexes and quadplexes, courtyard housing, rowhouses, and live - work. In some areas, the more intense, hybrid court building type is allowed where additional intensity is warranted while maintaining compatibility with neighboring properties (see Regulating Plan). The landscape is appropriate to a neighborhood, with shading street trees in parkway strips, and shallow- depth landscaped front yards separating buildings from sidewalks. Parking is on - street, and in garages located away from street frontages. (7) Urban Neighborhood 1 (UN-1) Zone. This zone is applied to existing primarily residential areas and is intended to strengthen and stabilize the low intensity nature of these neighborhoods. Appropriate building types include single dwellings, duplexes, triplexes, and quadplexes, and live-work. The landscape is appropriate to a neighborhood, with shading street trees in parkway strips and landscaped front yards separating buildings from sidewalks. Parking is on-street, and in garages located away from street frontages. (8) Industrial Overlay (I-OZ) Zone. The I-OZ is applied to areas currently zoned M1 or M2, and occupied with an industrial use, to allow the types of land use activity and development permitted by existing M1 and M2 zoning to continue until such time that the owner chooses to apply the new zones identified in Figure 2.1. In order to determine if the M1 or M2 land use activity and development apply to a particular parcel, the I-OZ is further identified as I-OZ-M1 or I-OZ-M2. Until the property owner applies to modify the zoning district, property in the I-OZ shall be regulated by the provisions of the M1 and M2 zones (SAMC 41, Article III, Divisions 18 and 19), as applicable. (8) (9) Open Space (O) Zone. This zone identifies areas reserved for community parks and other open spaces and is identified, but not regulated, by this Article. Refer to City requirements as identified in SAMC Chapter 41. Allowable structures in this zone are limited to those necessary to support the specific purposes of the particular open space area (e.g., sport-court enclosures and multi-purpose buildings in active parks, and trails within passive parks).” Figure 2.1 Regulating Plan with Existing R.O.W.   Planning Commission 1 – 28 3/6/2025       City Council 24 – 432 6/3/2025 Ordinance No. NS-XXX Page 17 of 49   Planning Commission 1 – 29 3/6/2025       City Council 24 – 433 6/3/2025 Ordinance No. NS-XXX Page 18 of 49 Figure 2.1 Regulating Plan with Existing R.O.W.

Hall City Clerk City of Santa Ana   Planning Commission 1 – 53 3/6/2025       City Council 24 – 457 6/3/2025 Ordinance No. NS-XXX Page 42 of 49 EXHIBIT “A” A. On April 19, 2022, The City adopted an Amended General Plan. The Amended General Plan became effective on May 26, 2022 and adopted a new Land Use Plan for the City and established new land use designations and policies for development of the City. B. On April 16, 2024, the City Council passed an Urgency Ordinance to adopt a 45-day moratorium on the approval, commencement, establishment, relocation, or expansion of industrial uses within the Transit Zoning Code/Specific Development (SD) No. 84 Zoning District (Moratorium Ordinance”). No. NS-3063. The purpose of the moratorium was to immediately protect the public health, safety, and welfare of residents and businesses from incompatible industrial uses that cause a significant pollution burden to adjacent residential neighborhoods within the SD84 Zoning District. C. On May 7, 2024, the City Council issued and file a Council report to the public, pursuant to Section 65858(d) of the California Government Code, describing the City’s measures to alleviate conditions that led to the adoption of Urgency Interim Ordinance No. NS-3063, on April 16, 2024, regarding a 45-day moratorium on the approval, commencement, establishment, relocation, or expansion of industrial uses within Specific Development No. 84 (the Transit Zoning Code). D. On May 21, 2024, the City Council adopted an extension of the Moratorium Ordinance for an additional ten (10) months and fifteen (15) days pursuant to the California Government Code, Section 65858. The extension was necessary to allow sufficient time for staff to continue with conduct research of appropriate regulations, and coordinate with outside regulatory agencies and City departments to develop appropriate zoning regulation to address the impacts of industrial development in the SD84 Zoning District. E. The Planning and Building Agency routinely reviews its ordinances to incorporate best practices, reflect changes to State law, and address community needs. F. In adopting the Moratorium on April 16, 2024, the City Council of the City of Santa Ana established the following findings, all of which below remain true, applicable and necessary to support the adoption of Zoning Ordinance Amendment (ZOA) No. 2024-02 amending certain portions of Chapter 41 (Zoning) of the Santa Ana Municipal Code, Article XIX. The Transit Zoning Code/Specific Development (SD) No. 84 Zoning District: 1. The Transit Zoning Code (TZC), located in the central core of Santa Ana, comprises approximately 450 acres, encompasses the Logan, Lacy, and Downtown neighborhoods, and was adopted by the City Council on June 7, 2010, and amended on July 16, 2019; and   Planning Commission 1 – 54 3/6/2025       City Council 24 – 458 6/3/2025 Ordinance No. NS-XXX Page 43 of 49 2. Upon the initial adoption of the TZC in 2010, the General Plan of the City of Santa Ana was updated with new land use designations for the areas covered by the TZC to allow for new, mixed-use residential and commercial communities; and 3. The goals of the TZC are to provide a transit-supportive, pedestrian- oriented development framework to support the addition of new, and enhancement of existing communities through, transit infrastructure; to preserve and reinforce the existing character and pedestrian nature of the City by strengthening urban form through improved development and design standards; to encourage alternative modes of transportation; to provide zoning for the integration of new infill development into existing neighborhoods; to provide for a range of housing options; and to allow for the reuse of existing structures; and 4. Industrial uses were established within the Logan and Lacy neighborhoods in close proximity to sensitive land uses such as residences and schools prior to the adoption of the TZC, as far back as the late 19th century, predating modern zoning practices that take into account irreconcilable land use conflicts among variegated land uses; and 5. The TZC provides new mixed-use zoning for properties contained within its boundary while creating industrial overlay zones allowing properties being used as industrial uses at the time of its adoption to continue to be governed by industrial zoning districts until su ch time that properties were developed or improved to the mixed-use zones allowed by the TZC; and 6. Senate Bill (SB) 1000 went into effect in 2018, requiring local governments to identify environmental justice communities, called “disadvantaged communities”, in their jurisdictions and address environmental justice in their general plans through facilitating transparency and public engagement in the planning and decision - making processes, reducing harmful pollutants and the associated health risks in disadvantaged communities, and promoting equitable access to health-inducing benefits such as healthy housing options; and 7. The City of Santa Ana completed a comprehensive update of its General Plan in April 2022; and 8. The Office of the Attorney General of the State of California was actively involved in ensuring Santa Ana’s General Plan update complied wit h all aspects of SB 1000 prior to its adoption; and 9. As required by SB 1000, update of the General Plan and its associated land use plan identified and addressed long standing environmental justice issues throughout all its elements, which include 77   Planning Commission 1 – 55 3/6/2025       City Council 24 – 459 6/3/2025 Ordinance No. NS-XXX Page 44 of 49 implementation actions aimed at reducing harmful pollutants and associated health risks in disadvantaged communities; and 10. Numerous policies of the General Plan are inconsistent with the present, irreconcilable land use pattern of the TZC. Specifically, these policies include Policy LU-1.1 (Compatible Uses), Policy LU-2.4 (Cost and Benefit of Development), Policy LU-3.8 (Sensitive Receptors), Policy LU-3.9 (Noxious, Hazardous, Dangerous, and Polluting Uses), Policy LU-3.11 (Air Pollution Buffers), Policy LU-4.3 (Sustainable Land Use Strategies), Policy LU-4.6 (Healthy Living Conditions), Policy CM-3.2 (Healthy Neighborhoods), Policy EP-1.9 (Avoid Conflict of Uses), Policy EP-3.3 (Mitigate Impacts), Policy CN-1.5 (Sensitive Receptor Decisions), Policy CM-.2 (Healthy Neighborhoods), and Policy HE -5.5 (Community Development), which are targeted at correcting past land use planning practices that have placed an unequitable environmental and health burden on certain neighborhoods now termed disadvantaged communities; and 11. The industrial overlay zones in the TZC perpetuate past planning practices of locating industrial uses, or other noxious and unwanted uses, in close proximity to communities of color; and 12. The Logan neighborhood is the oldest Mexican and Mexican -American neighborhood in Santa Ana and one of the oldest in Orange County, and one of the few places where Mexicans and those of Mexican descent were allowed to buy land due to restrictions and covenants based on race during the first half of the 20th century; and 13. The construction of Santa Ana (I-5) Freeway through Santa Ana in the 1950s resulted in many families being displaced through the demolition of single-family homes in the northeastern portion of the Logan neighborhood; and 14. In the 1970s, a proposed expansion of an arterial highway along Civic Center Avenue would have demolished a significant portion, if not all, of the Logan neighborhood; and 15. The Logan and Lacy neighborhoods are within the second and third highest scored census tracts in Santa Ana, each with a composite score of 90 percent or greater, ranking in the 90th percentile or greater of census tracts in the State, and identified as “disadvantaged communities” by the Office of Environmental Health Hazard Assessment (OEHHA) in its CalEnviroScreen model; and 16. Assembly Bill (AB) 686 requires local jurisdictions to take deliberate actions to explicitly address, combat, and relieve disparities to disadvantaged communities, such as Logan and Lacy neighborhoods, resulting from past patterns of segregation, disinvestment, and planning practices; and   Planning Commission 1 – 56 3/6/2025       City Council 24 – 460 6/3/2025 Ordinance No. NS-XXX Page 45 of 49 17. The updated land use plan in the Land Use Element of the General Plan does not designate any properties within the TZC, including the Logan or Lacy neighborhoods, as industrial; rather, they are designated as varying intensities of District Center or Urban Neighborhood land use designations—both of which are inconsistent with industrial uses; and 18. There are pressing and growing code enforcement complaints stemming from the irreconcilable land use conf licts in the TZC. Specifically, in the Logan and Lacy neighborhoods, the City’s Code Enforcement Division has investigated over 35 commercial and industrial properties in the past twelve months and currently has 16 active open cases that have been issued Notice of Violations and administrative citations for the following types of violations: illegal storage, land use, zoning, property and landscape maintenance, unpermitted work, business license, and certificate of occupancy. The close proximity of active open industrial cases during a short period of time is creating a public nuisance that is draining City resources and that is harming public health, safety, and general welfare of the TZC’s existing and new residential neighborhoods from the concentration of open code enforcement cases nearby; and 19. In the Logan neighborhood, 52 industrial facilities (automotive, warehouse/storage, crematory, towing yards, construction) are presently near sensitive uses monitored by external regulatory agencies such as South Coast AQMD, Orange County Health Care Agency – Certified Unified Program Agencies (OC CUPA), Santa Ana Regional Water Quality Board (SARWQB), Orange County Fire Authority. Industrial facilities have caused significant pollution exposure to disadvantaged communities, including lead risk in soil and housing, diesel particulate matter from idling trucks, toxic release from facilities, traffic impacts, noise pollution, and airborne particulate matter or fine inhalable particles of 2.5 (PM2.5) microns or less in diameter. CalEnviroScreen reports higher environmental effects from active facility cleanup sites, hazardous waste facilities, and solid waste locations. Cumulative health impacts in the area include asthma, cardiovascular disease, and low birth weight, in this overburdened disadvantaged community factored by socioeconomic indicators of poverty, linguistic isolation, housing burden, and education; and 20. In the Lacy neighborhood, 76 industrial facilities (automotive, warehouse/storage, towing yards, construction) are presently near sensitive uses monitored by external regulatory agencies such as South Coast AQMD, Orange County Health Care Agency – Certified Unified Program Agencies (OC CUPA), Santa Ana Regional Water Quality Board (SARWQB), Orange County Fire Authority. Industrial facilities have caused significant pollution onto disadvantaged communities, including lead risk exposure, diesel particulate matter from idling trucks, toxic release from facilities, traffic impacts, noise pollution, vibration   Planning Commission 1 – 57 3/6/2025       City Council 24 – 461 6/3/2025 Ordinance No. NS-XXX Page 46 of 49 impacts, and airborne particulate matter or fine inhalable particles of 2.5 (PM2.5) microns or less in diameter. CalEnviroScreen reports higher environmental effects from active facility cleanup sites, hazardous waste facilities, and solid waste locations. Cumulative health impacts in the area include asthma, cardiovascular disease, and low birth weight, in this overburdened disadvantaged community factored b y socioeconomic indicators of poverty, linguistic isolation, housing burden, and education; and 21. There is a recent surge in residential development activity in the TZC that is exacerbating the irreconcilable land use conflicts between residential and industrial land uses. Examples include the Lacy Crossing residential development with over 100 ownership units directly adjacent to existing industrial land uses, for which the City receives regular complaints from residential occupants of disturbances from noise, vibrations, odors, and truck traffic; and the Rafferty mixed-use development with 218 residential units, including 11 onsite units for very- low income households, which is located less than one-fifth of a mile from industrial land uses; and 22. There is a marked increase in the pending and active development applications for industrial land uses in the TZC, including for contractor’s yards, construction debris storage yards, manufacturing operations, expansion of existing industrial businesses, and st orage and warehousing operations, stemming from shifting economic demands for goods and services emerging from the Covid-19 pandemic; and 23. The City Council approved a contract with Moore, Iacofano, Goltsman, Inc. (MIG) on October 17, 2023 to ensure the City’s Zoning Code and General Plan are consistent, and to maintain compliance with state law, comprehensive amendments to the Zoning Code are required; and 24. MIG and City staff have conducted extensive community outreach, stakeholder interviews, and reviews of existing zoning-related codes and policies in Santa Ana. These early efforts have indicated that the irreconcilable land use conflicts and land use inconsistencies in the TZC area are among the most pressing topics that must be addressed as part of the comprehensive Zoning Code Update process to protect the health, safety, and welfare of the most vulnerable communities that face the impacts of the land use conflicts within the TZC area. Since adoption of the moratorium and its extension, MIG and City staff have focused the comprehensive update through an initial phase concentrating on amending the TZC; and 25. The policies and implementation actions in the General Plan also require review, study, and possible revision to respond to recent concerns relating to the impacts of these industrial business uses in the TZC; and   Planning Commission 1 – 58 3/6/2025       City Council 24 – 462 6/3/2025 Ordinance No. NS-XXX Page 47 of 49 26. Given these concerns, the City Council directed that a study be undertaken of the current provisions of the TZC to address industrial business uses and determine whether such uses should be permitted in the zoning district, and if not, proceed with an ordinance amendment to preclude such uses from the district. G. Following said analysis of the City Council points of discussion as iterated above, City staff has prepared ZOA No. 2024-02 to amend and add certain sections to Chapter 41 (Zoning) of the Santa Ana Municipal Code (SAMC), Article XIX. The Transit Zoning Code/Specific Development (SD) No. 84 Zoning District, including the deletion of industrial land uses; amend non - conforming regulations including the addition of an amortization process; amend and add operational standards for allowed uses and non -conforming uses; and delete the Industrial Overlay (I-OZ) zone from text and maps from certain properties within the SD84 Zoning District. H. Amendments to Chapter 41 (Zoning) are necessary to ensure uniform and legally consistent regulations as well as additions to enable the City to implement a regulatory framework that protects the health, safety, and welfare of the City. I. The proposed amendments to the Santa Ana Municipal Code (SAMC) that are the subject of this Ordinance support the objectives and policies of the City’s General Plan and are required to ensure consistency in accordance with Government Code Section 65860. J. Specifically, these amendments to the SAMC timely address current inconsistencies within an area of the City prioritized for addressing EJ. In effect, the amendments are necessary to address numerous policies of the General Plan that the current TZC is found to be incon sistent with, that without such amendments, will continue the path of irreconcilable land use patterns within the TZC. Specifically, these policies include Policy LU -1.1 (Compatible Uses), Policy LU-2.4 (Cost and Benefit of Development), Policy LU-3.8 (Sensitive Receptors), Policy LU-3.9 (Noxious, Hazardous, Dangerous, and Polluting Uses), Policy LU-3.11 (Air Pollution Buffers), Policy LU-4.3 (Sustainable Land Use Strategies), Policy LU-4.6 (Healthy Living Conditions), Policy CM-3.2 (Healthy Neighborhoods), Policy EP-1.9 (Avoid Conflict of Uses), Policy EP-3.3 (Mitigate Impacts), Policy CN-1.5 (Sensitive Receptor Decisions), Policy CM-3.2 (Healthy Neighborhoods), and Policy HE-5.5 (Community Development), which are targeted at correcting past land use planning practices that have placed an unequitable environmental and health burden on certain neighborhoods now termed disadvantaged communities. The proposed amendments support these goals and policies by: 1. Fostering the compatibility between residential and nonresidential land uses within the TZC to enhance livability and promote healthier lifestyles, and improve public health and quality of life;   Planning Commission 1 – 59 3/6/2025       City Council 24 – 463 6/3/2025 Ordinance No. NS-XXX Page 48 of 49 2. Resolving the development of industrial land uses and sensitive receptors being in close proximity to each other that pose health hazards by eliminating an overlay zone that promulgated continuation of industrial uses without recourse; 3. Improving the health of the existing and future residents of the TZC by regulating the operations of noxious, hazardous, dangerous, and polluting uses by giving priority to the discontinuance or elimination of those uses; 4. Responding to overarching EJ policies to develop and implement land use and zoning strategies to separate existing sensitive uses from heavy industrial facilities and emission sources; 5. Continuing to support the creation of healthy neighborhoods by addressing land use conflicts and incompatible uses through the elimination of the I-OZ zone and associated industrial land use types from the list of allowable land uses within the TZC; 6. Developing and adopting new regulations to address facilities that emit pollution near sensitive receptors within EJ area boundaries, which includes areas of the TZC; 7. Avoiding potential land use conflicts in the future by prohibiting the location of noxious land uses in proximity to sensitive receptors; and 8. Creating a sustainable land use plan for the area that phases out land uses that are causing a substantial drain on City and other public agency resources in addressing the impacts from irreconcilable land use conflicts in the TZC area. K. Additionally, the proposed amendments implement and/or contribute to achieving the following specific action programs of the General Plan, most particularly directly addressing LU3.3 through the creation of a discontinuance of nonconforming industrial uses through amortization: 1. LU1.1 - Development Code Update. Prepare a comprehensive update to the zoning code to ensure that the City’s zoning regulations align with the General Plan’s goals and policies. 2. LU3.3 - Healthy lifestyles. Collaborate with residents and industry stakeholders to create a program to incentivize and amortize the removal of existing heavy industrial uses adjacent to sensitive uses. 3. CN1.4 - Health risk criteria. Establish criteria for requiring health risk assessments for existing and new industries, including the type of business, thresholds, and scope of assessment. Review existing and establish new regulation to reduce and avoid increased pollution near sensitive receptors within environmental justice area boundaries.   Planning Commission 1 – 60 3/6/2025       City Council 24 – 464 6/3/2025 Ordinance No. NS-XXX Page 49 of 49 4. CN1.7 - Truck idling. Evaluate strategies to reduce truck idling found or reported in areas with sensitive receptors, with a priority placed on environmental justice areas. 5. CN1.11 - Public education. Augment existing outreach programs to improve public awareness of State, regional and local agencies’ roles and resources to identify, monitor, and address air quality and other environmental hazards in the community. 6. HE5.C – Healthy Neighborhoods Initiatives. Update the City’s zoning code development and operational standards for industrial zones to address incompatibility with adjacent uses, including minimum distance requirements to buffer heavy industrial uses from sensitive receptors. Conduct a study to evaluate and establish appropriate minimum distances and landscape buffers between polluting industrial uses from sensitive receptors such as residences. 7. HE44.A – Fair Housing. Ensure all City programs and activities related to housing and community development are administered in a manner that affirmatively furthers fair housing. L. ZOA No. 2024-02 amends and adds certain sections to Chapter 41 (Zoning) of the Santa Ana Municipal Code (SAMC), Article XIX. The Transit Zoning Code/Specific Development (SD) No. 84 Zoning District, including Section 41-2001 (Application of Article), Section 41-2001.5 (Organization), Section 41-2002 (Nonconforming Buildings, Structures and Uses), Section 41-2004 (The Industrial Overlay (I-OZ) Zone), Section 41-2005 (Application for Discretionary Approvals), Section 41-2006 (Zones Established), Section 41-2007 (Uses Permitted) Section 41-2008 (Operational Standards), Section 41-2009 (Operational Standards for Nonconforming Industrial Uses), and Section 41-2080 (Definitions). M. On February 24, 2025, the Planning Commission held a duly noticed public hearing to consider this Ordinance, where all interested persons were given an opportunity to be heard, and recommended approval of the Ordinance to the City Council. N. On March 18, 2025, the City Council held a duly noticed public hearing to consider this Ordinance, where all interested persons were given an opportunity to be heard.   Planning Commission 1 – 61 3/6/2025       City Council 24 – 465 6/3/2025 Ordinance No. NS-XXX Page 1 of 7 ORDINANCE NO. NS-XXXX AMENDMENT APPLICATION (AA) NO. 2024-03 – AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF SANTA ANA AMENDING THE OFFICIAL ZONING MAP OF THE CITY OF SANTA ANA BY REMOVING THE M1 (LIGHT INDUSTRIAL) AND M2 (HEAVY INDUSTRIAL) SUFFIXES FROM CERTAIN PROPERTIES WITHIN THE SD-84 ZONING DISTRICT BOUNDARY THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF SANTA ANA HEREBY ORDAINS AS FOLLOWS: Section 1. The City Council has, by separate action taken on March 18, 2025, adopted an Addendum to the Transit Zoning Code Environmental Impact report (“EIR”) (State Clearinghouse No. 2006071100), which was certified on June 7, 2010, by the City Council (“Addendum”). The Addendum analyzed the environmental impacts of the actions taken in this Ordinance. Adopting the Adden dum satisfied the City Council’s obligations under the California Environmental Quality Act (“CEQA”) regarding amendments to the Transit Zoning Code and none of the conditions in Public Resources Code section 21166 or State CEQA Guidelines 15162 apply. Thu s, no further environmental review is required as adoption of this Ordinance falls within the scope of the adopted Addendum and previously certified EIR. Section 2. The City Council of the City of Santa Ana hereby finds, determines, and declares as follows: A.Chapter 41, Article I, Division 1, Section 41-1 of the Santa Ana Municipal Code provides that “Because of the necessity of segregating the location of residences, businesses, trades and industries; regulating the use of buildings, structures, and land; and regulating the location, height, bulk and size of buildings and structures, the size of yards and open spaces, the City is divided into land-use districts of such number, shape and area as may be considered best suited to carry out these regulatio ns and provide for their enforcement. The regulations are considered necessary in order to: (a)Encourage the most appropriate use of land; (b)Conserve and stabilize property value, (c)Provide adequate open spaces for light and air and to prevent and fight fires, (d)Prevent undue concentration of population, lessen congestion on streets and highways, and Exhibit 4: Ordinance for Amendment Application (AA) No. 2024-03 ___________________________________________________________________________   Planning Commission 1 – 62 3/6/2025       City Council 24 – 466 6/3/2025 Ordinance No. NS-XXX Page 2 of 7 (e) Promote the health, safety and general welfare of the people, all as part of the general plan of the City.” Consistent with this purpose, the City of Santa Ana has adopted a zoning map, which has since been amended from time to time. B. On April 19, 2022, the City adopted an Amended General Plan The Amended General Plan became effective on May 26, 2022 and adopted a new Land Use Plan for the City and established new lan d use designations and policies for development of the City. C. On April 16, 2024, the City Council passed an Urgency Ordinance to adopt a 45-day moratorium on the approval, commencement, establishment, relocation, or expansion of industrial uses within the T ransit Zoning Code/Specific Development (SD) No. 84 Zoning District (the “Moratorium Ordinance”). The purpose of the Moratorium Ordinance was to immediately protect the public health, safety, and welfare of residents and businesses from incompatible industrial uses that cause a significant pollution burden to adjacent residential neighborhoods within the SD -84 Zoning District. D. On May 7, 2024, the City Council issued and file a Council report to the public, pursuant to Section 65858(d) of the California Government Code, describing the City’s measures to alleviate conditions that led to the adoption of Urgency Interim Ordinance No. NS-3063, on April 16, 2024, regarding a 45-day moratorium on the approval, commencement, establishment, relocation, or expansion of industrial uses within the Transit Zoning Code Specific Development No. 84. E. On May 21, 2024, the City Council adopted an extension of the Moratorium Ordinance for an additional ten (10) months and fifteen (15) days pursuant to California Government Code , Section 65858. The extension was necessary to allow sufficient time for staff to continue with conduct research of appropriate regulations, and coordinate with outside regulatory agencies and City departments to develop appropriate zoning regulation to address the impacts of industrial development in the SD -84 Zoning District. F. After continued research and study, two ordinances have been developed that address the impacts from industrial land uses in the SD -84 Zoning District. The ordinances address the following: a. Zoning Ordinance Amendment (ZOA) No. 2024-02 to amend certain provisions of the Santa Ana Municipal Code and amend portions of the Transit Zoning Code/Specific Development (SD) No. 84 Zoning District, including the deletion of industrial land uses; amendment of non- conforming regulations; and, b. Amendment Application (AA) No. 2024-03 to remove the M1 (Light Industrial) and M2 (Heavy Industrial) suffixes from certain properties   Planning Commission 1 – 63 3/6/2025       City Council 24 – 467 6/3/2025 Ordinance No. NS-XXX Page 3 of 7 within the SD-84 Zoning District boundary as designated on the City of Santa Ana Zoning Map. G. AA No. 2024-03 is consistent with and implements the amendments proposed by ZOA No. 2024-02 by ensuring uniform and legally consistent mapping of the City’s Zoning Districts; and enables the City to implement a regulatory framework that protects the health, safety, and welfare of the City and its residents. H. The proposed amendments to the Zoning Map contained in AA No. 2024 - 03 are required to ensure consistency with the City’s General Plan in accordance with California Government Code, Section 65860. I. Adoption of AA No. 20243 is consistent with and implements the Amended General Plan. Specifically, it is consistent with the following: The amendments timely address current inconsistencies within an area of the City prioritized for addressing EJ. (a) Policy LU-1.1 (Compatible Uses), (b) Policy LU-2.4 (Cost and Benefit of Development) (c) Policy LU-3.8 (Sensitive Receptors), (d) Policy LU-3.9 (Noxious, Hazardous, Dangerous, and Polluting Uses), (e) Policy LU-3.11 (Air Pollution Buffers), (f) Policy LU-4.3 (Sustainable Land Use Strategies), (g) Policy LU-4.6 (Healthy Living Conditions), (h) Policy CM-3.2 (Healthy Neighborhoods), (i) Policy EP-1.9 (Avoid Conflict of Uses), (j) Policy EP-3.3 (Mitigate Impacts); (k) Policy CN-1.5 (Sensitive Receptor Decisions), (l) Policy CM-3.2 (Healthy Neighborhoods), and (m) Policy HE-5.5 (Community Development) which are targeted at correcting past land use planning practices that have placed an unequitable environmental and health burden on certain neighborhoods now termed disadvantaged communities. The proposed amendments support these goals and policies by: 1. Fostering the compatibility between residential and nonresidential land uses within the TZC to enhance livability and promote healthier lifestyles, and improve public health and quality of life; 2. Resolving the development of industrial land uses and sensitive receptors being in close proximity to each other that pose health hazards by eliminating an overlay zone that promulgated continuation of industrial uses without recourse; 3.

Responding to overarching EJ policies to develop and implement land use and zoning strategies to separate existing sensitive uses from heavy industrial facilities and emission sources; 5. Continuing to support the creation of healthy neighborhoods by addressing land use conflicts and incompatible uses through the elimination of the I-OZ zone and associated industrial land use types from the list of allowable land uses within the TZC; 6. Developing and adopting new regulations to address facilities that emit increased pollution new sensitive receptors within EJ area boundaries, which includes areas of the TZC; 7. Avoiding potential land use conflicts in the future by prohibiting the location of noxious land uses in proximity to sensitive receptors; and 8. Creating a sustainable land use plan for the area that phases out land uses that are causing a substantial drain on City and other public agency resources in addressing the impacts from irreconcilable land use conflicts in the TZC area. J. Additionally, AA No. 2024-03 implements and/or contributes to achieving the following specific action programs of the General Plan, most particularly directly addressing LU3.3 through the creation of a discontinuance of nonconforming industrial uses through amortization: 1. LU1.1 - Development Code Update. Prepare a comprehensive update to the zoning code to ensure that the City’s zoning regulations align with the General Plan’s goals and policies. Update the Metro East Mixed-Use Overlay District to remove the portion within the 17th Street and Grand Avenue Focus Area. Update the Midtown Specific Plan. 2. LU3.3 - Healthy lifestyles. Collaborate with residents and industry stakeholders to create a program to incentivize and amortize the removal of existing heavy industrial uses adjacent to sensitive uses. 3. CN1.4 - Health risk criteria. Establish criteria for requiring health risk assessments for existing and new industries, including the type of business, thresholds, and scope of assessment. Review existing and establish new regulation to reduce and avoid increased pollution near sensitive receptors within environmental justice area boundaries. 4. CN1.7 - Truck idling.

Code of Regulations, §§15000, et seq., “CEQA Guidelines”) and adopted the City of Santa Ana’s Transit Zoning Code (“Transit Zoning Code”), which is designed to provide the zoning necessary to support the long-term development of a successful transit program; and WHEREAS, after continued research and study, two ordinances have been developed that address the impacts from industrial land uses in the Specific Development No. 84 (SD-84) Zoning District, also known as the Transit Zoning Code: (1) Zoning Ordinance Amendment (ZOA) No. 2024-02 to amend certain provisions of the Santa Ana Municipal Code and amend portions of the Transit Zoning Code, including the deletion of industrial land uses; amendment of non -conforming regulations; and (2) Amendment Application (AA) No. 2024-03 to remove the M1 (Light Industrial) and M2 (Heavy Industrial) suffixes from certain properties within the SD-84 Zoning District boundary as designated on the City of Santa Ana Zoning Map; and WHEREAS, pursuant to CEQA, when taking subsequent discretionary actions in furtherance of a project for which an EIR has been certified, the lead agency is required to review any changed circumstances to determine whether any of the circumstances under Public Resources Code section 21166 and CEQA Guidelines section 15162 require additional environmental review; and WHEREAS, the City has evaluated the proposed ordinances to the Transit Zoning Code in light of the standards for subsequent environmental review outlined in Public Resources Code section 21166 and CEQA Guidelines section 15162, and concluded that the proposed changes would not result in new significant environmental effects or a substantial increase in the severity of previously identified significant effects that were previously disclosed in the Transit Zoning Code EIR, and therefore no subsequent EIR or mitigated negative declaration is required; and WHEREAS, the proposed changes would nonetheless necessitate minor changes or additions to the Transit Zoning Code EIR and, thus, the City has prepared an Addendum for the Transit Zoning Code EIR (“Addendum”), attached as Exhibit 1, pursuant to State CEQA Guidelines section 15164 to address the proposed ordinances; and Exhibit 5: Resolution of the City Council and Addendum to TZC EIR _____________________________________________________________________   Planning Commission 1 – 69 3/6/2025       City Council 24 – 473 6/3/2025 WHEREAS, the Addendum was prepared in full compliance with CEQA, CEQA Guidelines, and the City’s Local CEQA Guidelines; and WHEREAS CEQA Guidelines Section 15164, subdivision (c) does not require the Addendum to be circulated for public review but can be included in or attached to a final EIR or adopted negative declaration; and WHEREAS, under CEQA and the CEQA Guidelines and as referenced below, the "project" shall mean the proposed ordinances under the Transit Zoning Code including implementation of these ordinances; and WHEREAS, on February 24, 2025, the Planning Commission held a duly noticed public hearing to consider these proposed ordinances, where all interested persons were given an opportunity to be heard, and recommended approval of the ordinances to the City Council; WHEREAS, on March 18, 2025, the City Council held a duly noticed publi c hearing to consider these proposed ordinances, where all interested persons were given an opportunity to be heard; and WHEREAS the City Council considered the entire administrative record, including the staff report (and all attachments thereto), the Transit Zoning Code EIR and Addendum, and oral and written testimony from interested persons; NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the City Council of the City of Santa Ana as follows: Section 1. The above recitals are true and incorporated herein by reference. Section 2. CEQA Guidelines Section 15164 requires lead agencies to prepare an addendum to a previously certified EIR if some changes or additions to the project are necessary, but none of the conditions requiring preparation of a subsequent EIR are present. The City Council has reviewed and considered the administrative record, including but not limited to the Transit Zoning Code EIR and the Addendum, which are all incorporated by reference as though set forth fully herein, and finds that those documents taken together contain a complete and accurate reporting of all the environmental impacts associated with the Transit Zoning Code. The City Council further finds that the Addendum and the administrative record have been completed in compliance with CEQA, the CEQA Guidelines, and the City’s Local CEQA Guidelines. The City Council finds and determines that the Addendum reflects the City’s independent judgment. The City Council finds that the foregoing is supported by substantial evidence in the record. Furthermore, when taking subsequent discretionary actions in furtherance of a project for which an EIR has been certified, the City is required to review any changed   Planning Commission 1 – 70 3/6/2025       City Council 24 – 474 6/3/2025 circumstances under Public Resources Code Section 21166 and CEQA Guidelines Section 15162 to determine whether additional environmental review is required. Based on the substantial evidence set forth in the administrative record, including but not limited to the Transit Zoning Code EIR and the Addendum, the City Council finds that none of the conditions under CEQA Guidelines Section 15162 requiring subsequent environmental review have occurred because the proposed ordinances: a) do not constitute substantial changes that would require major revisions to the Transit Zoning Code EIR due to the involvement of new significant environmental effects or a substantial increase in the severity of previously identified effects; and b) do not constitute substantial changes with respect to the circumstances under which the project was developed that would require major revisions of the Transit Zoning Code EIR due to the involvement of new significant environmental effects or a substantial increase in the severity of the previously identified significant effects; and c) do not present new information of substantial importan ce that was not known and could not have been known with the exercise of reasonable diligence at the time the Transit Zoning Code was certified, showing any of the following: (i) that the project would have one or more significant effects not discussed in the earlier environmental documentation; (ii) that significant effects previously examined would be substantially more severe than shown in the earlier environmental documentation; (iii) that mitigation measures or alternatives previously found not to be feasible would in fact be feasible and would substantially reduce one or more significant effects, but the applicant declined to adopt such measures; or (iv) that mitigation measures or alternatives considerably different from those previously analyzed woul d substantially reduce one or more significant effects on the environment, but which the applicant declined to adopt. Pursuant to CEQA and CEQA Guidelines, the City Council hereby adopts the foregoing findings and adopts the Addendum attached as Exhibit 1. City Council further directs City staff to cause a Notice of Determination to be filed and posted with the County of Orange Registrar-Recorder/County Clerk and the State Clearinghouse within five working days of the City Council’s adoption of this Resolution. Section 3. This Resolution shall become effective immediately upon its adoption. Section 4.

The purpose of the moratorium was to immediately offer protection of public health, safety, and welfare from industrial uses significantly causing pollution burden to adjacent residential neighborhoods within the SD84 Zoning District. On May 21, 2024, the City Council adopted Ordinance No. NS-3064 to extend the moratorium for an additional ten (10) months and fifteen (15) days pursuant to the Government Code to provide sufficient time for staff to continue with data tracking and reporting, research appropriate regulations, and coordinate with outside regulatory agencies and City departments to determine whether further, permanent action is necessary and to generate recommendations to the Planning Commission and City Council. Based upon the City Council’s actions and direction enacting the moratorium combined with the research and analysis of the issues herein, staff has prepared Zoning Ordinance Amendment (ZOA) No. 2024-02 and Amendment Application (AA) No. 2024-03. The proposed amendments (“proposed amendments” or “project”) will modify the list of land uses and permit types including the deletion of industrial land uses; amend nonconforming regulations including the addition of an amortization process for industrial uses; amend and add operational standards for allowed uses and nonconforming uses; delete the Industrial Overlay (I-OZ) zone from text and maps; and delete the M1 (Light Industrial) and M2 (Heavy Industrial) suffixes from certain properties within the SD84 Zoning District boundary as designated on the City of Santa Ana Zoning Map. Refer to Section 3.2 – Project Description. Following preliminary review of proposed ZOA No. 2024-02 and AA No. 2024-03 amendments, the City, as the Lead Agency, has determined that the project is subject to CEQA (Public Resources Code (PRC) §§21000-21177; 14 CCR §§15000, et seq.). This Addendum to Transit Zoning Code (SD 84A and 84B) Environmental Impact Report (“TZC EIR”) (SCH No. 2006071100) has been prepared to demonstrate that, pursuant to the standards contained in CEQA Guidelines Section 15162, this project is within the scope of the TZC EIR. As a result, the City does not need to prepare a subsequent or supplemental EIR as the TZC EIR fully analyzed the potential impacts associated with the proposed amendments. This is consistent with Section 8.06 of the City’s Local Guidelines for Implementing CEQA. 1.2 Statutory Authority and Requirements CEQA Guidelines Section 15164 states the following with respect to an Addendum to an EIR: a) The lead agency or responsible agency shall prepare an addendum to a previously certified EIR if some changes or additions are necessary but none of the conditions described in Section 15162 calling for preparation of a subsequent EIR have occurred. b) An addendum to an adopted negative declaration may be prepared if only minor technical changes or additions are necessary or none of the conditions described in Section 15162 calling for the preparation of a subsequent EIR or negative declaration have occurred. c) An addendum need not be circulated for public review but can be included in or attached to the final EIR or adopted negative declaration.   Planning Commission 1 – 76 3/6/2025       City Council 24 – 480 6/3/2025 January 2025 2 Environmental Analysis d) The decision making body shall consider the addendum with the final EIR or adopted negative declaration prior to making a decision on the project. e) A brief explanation of the decision not to prepare a subsequent EIR pursuant to Section 15162 should be included in an addendum to an EIR, the lead agency’s findings on the project, or elsewhere in the record. The explanation must be supported by substantial evidence. CEQA Guidelines Section 15162, Subsequent EIRs and Negative Declarations, states the following with respect to a Subsequent EIRs: (a) When an EIR has been certified or a negative declaration adopted for a project, no subsequent EIR shall be prepared for that project unless the lead agency determines, on the basis of substantial evidence in the light of the whole record, one or more of the following: (1) Substantial changes are proposed in the project which will require major revisions of the previous EIR or negative declaration due to the involvement of new significant environmental effects or a substantial increase in the severity of previously identified significant effects; (2) Substantial changes occur with respect to the circumstances under which the project is undertaken which will require major revisions of the previous EIR or Negative Declaration due to the involvement of new significant environmental effects or a substantial increase in the severity of previously identified significant effects; or (3) New information of substantial importance, which was not known and could not have been known with the exercise of reasonable diligence at the time the previous EIR was certified as complete or the Negative Declaration was adopted, shows any of the following: (A) The project will have one or more significant effects not discussed in the previous EIR or negative declaration; (B) Significant effects previously examined will be substantially more severe than shown in the previous EIR; (C) Mitigation measures or alternatives previously found not to be feasible would in fact be feasible, and would substantially reduce one or more significant effects of the project, but the project proponents decline to adopt the mitigation measure or alternative; or (D) Mitigation measures or alternatives which are considerably different from those analyzed in the previous EIR would substantially reduce one or more significant effects on the environment, but the project proponents decline to adopt the mitigation measure or alternative. (b) If changes to a project or its circumstances occur or new information becomes available after adoption of a negative declaration, the lead agency shall prepare a subsequent EIR if required under subdivision (a). Otherwise the lead agency shall determine whether to prepare a subsequent negative declaration, an addendum, or no further documentation. 1.3 Incorporation by Reference The TZC Final EIR, including the original Draft EIR (DEIR), and has been made available for public review at the Lead Agency office (City of Santa Ana). The Final EIR is incorporated into this Addendum by reference.   Planning Commission 1 – 77 3/6/2025       City Council 24 – 481 6/3/2025 January 2025 3 Environmental Analysis This Addendum is available for public inspection at the City at 20 Civic Center Plaza, Santa Ana, CA, and on the City’s website at https://www.santa-ana.org/environmental-impact-report- transit-zoning-code/. 2.0 BACKGROUND The TZC was established in June 2010, which is located in the area west of Interstate 5, north of First Street, and between Grand Avenue and Flower Street, and south of Civic Center Drive in the City of Santa Ana. The TZC provided new zoning for all of the properties contained within its boundary. However, some properties with existing M1 and M2 zoning and/or existing industrial businesses also received an overlay district designation which allowed for the continuation of industrial land uses on those properties and allows for the option of future mixed-use development to be exercised at the discretion of the property owner. The purpose was to establish a transit-supportive, pedestrian-oriented development framework to support the addition of new transit infrastructure; preserve and reinforce the existing character and pedestrian nature of the City by strengthening urban form through improved development and design standards; encourage alternative modes of transportation; provide for a range of housing options; and allow for the reuse of existing structures. On June 7, 2010, the City adopted the TZC and certified the TZC Final EIR (SCH No. 2006071100). The TZC Final EIR provides a program-level and project-level analysis of the environmental impacts resulting from implementation of the TZC. The majority of the analysis is done at the program level; however, a project-level analysis is provided for the development proposal to demolish 30,000 square feet of existing structures on eleven Redevelopment Agency-owned parcels and to construct 220 affordable residential units. The TZC Final EIR concluded full implementation of the TZC would result in significant and unavoidable impacts with respect to the following: aesthetics, air quality, cultural resources, noise, transportation, and climate change. The TZC Final EIR’s background and environmental impact conclusions are cited throughout this Addendum. In July 2019, the City Council adopted Ordinance No. NS-2970, amending the Transit Zoning Code to modify certain design criteria regarding height, massing, open space location, driveway standards, lot dimensions, and parking alternatives, and determined that this ordinance was exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act pursuant to State CEQA Guidelines, section 15061(b)(3). This amendment did not include changes to land uses or permit types within the TZC. In support of the TZC amendment, the City Council also approved a General Plan amendment, establishing numerous mixed-use General Plan land use designations for the entirety of the TZC. Refer to Figure 1 – Existing Transit Zoning Code area and Figure 2 Transit Zoning Code Designations, below. However, due to the continued application of the industrial overlay zones within the TZC, implementation of the new General Plan land use designations immediately resulted in zoning inconsistencies and land use conflicts with the new General Plan.   Planning Commission 1 – 78 3/6/2025       City Council 24 – 482 6/3/2025 January 2025 4 Environmental Analysis Figure 1 – Transit Zoning Code Area   Planning Commission 1 – 79 3/6/2025       City Council 24 – 483 6/3/2025 January 2025 5 Environmental Analysis Figure 2 – Existing Transit Zoning Code Designations   Planning Commission 1 – 80 3/6/2025       City Council 24 – 484 6/3/2025 January 2025 6 Environmental Analysis 3.0 DESCRIPTION OF PROPOSED PROJECT The proposed amendments would modify the list of land uses and permit types, including the following: • Deletion of industrial land uses • Amend nonconforming regulations, including the addition of an amortization process • Amend and add operational standards for allowed uses and nonconforming uses • Delete the Industrial Overlay (I-OZ) zone from text and maps • Delete the M1 (Light Industrial) and M2 (Heavy Industrial) suffixes from certain properties within the SD84 Zoning District boundary as designated on the City of Santa Ana Zoning Map Implementation of the proposed amendments do not include nor require implementation of any site-specific development projects. Table 1 – Current and Proposed Text Regulations, below lists the proposed amendments and is followed by a summary of each. Figure 2.5 Proposed Transit Zoning Code Designations depicts the removal of I-OZ from the map. Table 1 – Current and Proposed Text Regulations Code Section Title Existing Zoning Code Regulations Proposed Zoning Code Regulations Application of Article SAMC Section 41-2001 establishes the land uses and standards applicable to the TZC - primarily for new uses. The update to text of this Section clarifies that the regulations apply to existing uses, whether conforming or nonconforming, change in land use or tenancy requiring issuance of Certificate of Occupancy. Organization SAMC Section 41-2001.5 establishes the contents and organization of the TZC regulations The update to the text is necessary to encompass the new Section 41-2009 (Operational Standards for Nonconforming Industrial Uses). Nonconforming Buildings, Structures and Uses SAMC Section 41-2002 establishes the regulations for nonconforming buildings, structures or uses within the TZC boundary. The provisions contain minimal limits for rehabilitation of buildings and structures and their expansion for both residential and non- residential uses. The update to text of this Section will further limit some rehabilitation of buildings and structures, with specific emphasis on nonconforming industrial uses. These updated provisions include: • Requiring rehabilitation or expansion of buildings and structures, occupied by any nonconforming use to comply with the new operational standards contained in Section 41-2009. • Prohibits expansion of a building or structure occupied by a nonconforming industrial use. • Discontinuation of nonconforming   Planning Commission 1 – 81 3/6/2025       City Council 24 – 485 6/3/2025 January 2025 7 Environmental Analysis Code Section Title Existing Zoning Code Regulations Proposed Zoning Code Regulations noxious uses through amortization. • Elimination of certain nonconforming uses and structures • Establishes a process for enacting amortization periods for eliminating certain nonconforming uses. • References to SAMC and State law for abatement of public nuisances. • Establishes authority for voluntary compliance agreements between the City and nonconforming uses. The Industrial Overlay (I-OZ) Zone SAMC Section 41-2004 establishes an overlay zone applied to M1 and M2 zoned properties located within the TZC boundary. Section 41-2004 is deleted in its entirety, removing the I-OZ Zone from the TZC to eliminate industrial land use type zoning altogether. Application for Discretionary Approvals SAMC Section 41-2005 establishes the process and timing of vesting for certain uses approved with a discretionary permit. Section 41-2005 is renumbered as 41- 2004, and the update to the text of this Section adds clarification for effects of the amendments to the TZC dependent upon status of an application in the City process of review, approval, and/or building permit issuance, if required. Zones Established SAMC Section 41-2006 contains the regulations for zoning districts, land uses, and permit types within the TZC. The update to the text of this Section deletes the I-OZ Zone, including replacing Figure 2.1, the Regulating Plan (map) with a new Figure 2.1 removing the I-OZ Zone designation from all parcels within the TZC boundary. Uses Permitted SAMC Section 41-2007 provides the allowable land uses and permit types required to establish a land use by each zoning district within the TZC. The update to the text of this Section clarifies application of the use standards by zoning district as follows: • Modifies Table 2A containing the Use Standards by adding and reclassifying certain land use types appropriate to the TZC land use subcategories • Deletes certain land use types that are inconsistent with the intent and purpose of the TZC, including the deletion of the Small-Scale Industry land use subcategory in its entirety. Operational Standards SAMC Section 41-2008 primarily regulates new uses within the TZC. The update to the text of this Section further limits certain operations to ensure greater compatibility between residential and non-residential land uses. Operational Standards for Nonconforming Industrial Uses SAMC Section 41-2009 is an entirely new set of regulations specific to existing nonconforming industrial uses within the TZC. The new Section establishes regulations for operation of any existing, legally established, nonconforming industrial use. The regulations cover general standards, enclosed   Planning Commission 1 – 82 3/6/2025       City Council 24 – 486 6/3/2025 January 2025 8 Environmental Analysis Code Section Title Existing Zoning Code Regulations Proposed Zoning Code Regulations operations, air emissions and dust, light, glare, and heat, ground vibration, outdoor storage and screening, hazardous materials, liquid and solid waste, site maintenance, truck parking and loading, and hours of operation. Definitions SAMC Section 41-2080 contains the definitions applicable to terms and land uses of the TZC. The update to the text of this Section provides clarification for certain land use types (artisan/craft product with limited on-site production, commercial recreation facility – indoor, and research and development), adds definitions for land use types (business support services, pet day care facility and trade school, nonconforming industrial, and noxious use), and deletes corresponding definitions for land use types that were deleted as part of the amendments to SAMC Section 41- 2006.

The regulations are unique to the TZC and do not apply citywide. The regulations determine under certain circumstances when a nonconforming structure or use can rehabilitate both structural or nonstructural; or expand conditions that would allow expansion. Due to the concerns enumerated within this report related to nonconforming industrial uses within the TZC, the amendments to this section increasingly limit rehabilitation of structures to those types of improvements that address compliance with the new Section 41-2009 operational standards for nonconforming industrial uses; and disallow the expansion of any nonconforming industrial use. This Section also includes new provisions to establish a process for the discontinuance of nonconforming uses, specifically noxious uses, and the elimination of those uses or structures through an amortization hearing process. The tools that these new regulations provide are necessary to address the environmental impacts that lead to the adoption of the Moratorium, provide the framework to initiate the process to eliminate noxious industrial land uses from the TZC, and align with the adopted EJ policies of the General Plan. • The Industrial Overlay (I-OZ) Zone – Section 41-2004 created an “exception” zone for properties within the TZC that contained M1 or M2 industrial zoning, uses and structures, when the TZC was adopted in 2010. In order to be both consistent and to promulgate the General Plan land use designations within the TZC, the removal of this overlay zone is necessary. The zone currently gives deference to the property owner of these parcels with an industrial overlay to decide when and whether to redevelop their properties in a manner that would remove the industrial structure and use, replacing it with an allowable use and conforming to the design standards of the TZC. Eliminating the I-OZ Zone will cause these properties to become nonconforming as to use and structure, subjecting them to the regulations as amended and added to Section 41- 2002, including discontinuance of nonconforming use or structure though amortization. With the deletion of the entirety of the text of Section 41-2004, Section 41-2005 Application for Discretionary Approvals is renumbered as Section 41-2004. • Zones Established and Uses Permitted – Amendments to Sections 41-2006 and 41- 2007, respectively, include parallel deletion of the I-OZ Zone affecting the Regulating Plan (TZC zoning map) and the corresponding Use Standards tables regulating the land use and permit types for each of the remaining zones of the TZC. Table 2A categorizes land uses into broad subheadings for both residential and nonresidential land uses. The nonresidential land uses are further categorized into commercial-oriented versus industrial-oriented types of uses. The amendments will eliminate the Small-Scale Industry sub-category altogether, since the majority of these uses are industrial uses incompatible with residential uses. The purpose of the TZC is to promote transit-oriented mixed-use development, which pairs residential and nonresidential land uses either horizontally or vertically on a site or within a building. Compatibility of allowable land use types is critical, particularly given the history of the negative impacts from industrial uses remaining in the area and in close proximity to existing and new residential areas. Amending this Section also replaces the TZC zoning map figure to ensure consistency with the City’s Official Zoning Map and General Plan Land Use Map in accordance with requirements of State law, Government Code Section 65860.   Planning Commission 1 – 85 3/6/2025       City Council 24 – 489 6/3/2025 January 2025 11 Environmental Analysis • Operational Standards and Operational Standards for Nonconforming Industrial Uses – Section 41-2008 contains operational standards applicable to all uses within the TZC boundary. This Section is largely unchanged, with clarification and strengthening of certain regulations to address any possible industrial type function of an allowable land use type as listed in the tables of Section 41-2007. These amendments affected any possible manufacturing related activities, sound, screening walls and eliminated any vehicular service on Sundays. Section 41-2009 establishes new regulations governing existing industrial uses made nonconforming with the removal of the I-OZ Zone within the TZC, and include general standards, enclosed operations, air emissions and dust, light, glare, and heat, ground vibration, outdoor storage and screening, hazardous materials, liquid and solid waste, site maintenance, truck parking and loading, and hours of operation. The amendments to Section 41-2008 and creation of new regulations under Section 41-2009 ensure that existing nonconforming uses comply with very specific operational standards and/or face amortization that leads ultimately to discontinuance of use, effectively reestablishing the TZC area with residential uses and allowing certain nonresidential uses compatible to such residential and/or mixed-use development. 4.0 ENVIRONMENTAL SETTING The City of Santa Ana is located in Orange County and serves as the County seat. The City is in the western central portion of Orange County, approximately 30 miles southwest of the City of Los Angeles and 10 miles northeast of the City of Newport Beach (refer to Figure 3, Regional Location). As shown in Figure 4, Citywide Aerial, the City is bordered by the City of Orange and unincorporated areas of Orange County to the north, the City of Tustin to the east, the cities of Irvine and Costa Mesa to the south, and the cities of Fountain Valley and Garden Grove to the west. The TZC area is shown in blue on both Figure 3 and Figure 4, and a detailed view is shown on Figure 1 in Section 2.0.   Planning Commission 1 – 86 3/6/2025       City Council 24 – 490 6/3/2025 January 2025 12 Environmental Analysis Figure 3 – Regional Location   Planning Commission 1 – 87 3/6/2025       City Council 24 – 491 6/3/2025 January 2025 13 Environmental Analysis Figure 4 – Citywide Aerial   Planning Commission 1 – 88 3/6/2025       City Council 24 – 492 6/3/2025 January 2025 14 Environmental Analysis At the local level, the TZC area is located in the central urban core of the City and comprises over 100 blocks and 450 acres, and is generally bounded by I-5 to the north and east, First Street to the south, and Flower Street to the west. Refer to Figure 1 in the Background section. The majority of the City is urbanized, with residential and nonresidential development, and mobility and public facilities all contributing to Santa Ana’s existing built environment. The City’s incorporated boundaries encompass approximately 27.4 square miles. Residential land uses occupy almost 40 percent of the land within the current City boundaries, accounting for 5,226 acres. Other predominant land uses include commercial (1,588 acres) and industrial (1,628 acres). While Santa Ana is a densely populated urban center with one of the most diverse international populations in Orange County, it can generally be characterized as a City of neighborhoods. Santa Ana has over 65 neighborhoods which are distinguished by their history, architecture, housing types, amenities, and unique character. The Specific Development (SD) No. 84 Zoning District, also known as the TZC, is located in the central urban core of the City and comprises over 100 blocks and 450 acres, and is generally bounded by First Street, Flower Street, Civic Center Drive, Grand Avenue, and the Santa Ana (I-5) Freeway. The TZC area includes the Orange County Civic Center consisting of City, County and federal buildings, City, Downtown, the Logan and Lacy neighborhoods, which are among the City’s most historic in age and are established residential communities. Additional land uses include a mix of residential, commercial and industrial uses. The TZC area overlaps portions of two of the City’s five focus areas, which are suited for new growth and development under the GPU: the Grand Avenue Avenue/17th Street Focus Area and the West Santa Ana Boulevard Focus Area. The Grand Avenue Avenue/17th Street Focus Area is primarily business oriented with office and commercial storefronts and large apartment complexes. The West Santa Ana Boulevard Focus Area is characterized as a mix of residential, commercial and industrial. 5.0 ENVIRONMENTAL ANALYSIS The Initial Study/Notice of Preparation of the DEIR (Appendix A) concluded certain topics to be “Effects Not Found to Be Significant” according to Section 15128 of the CEQA Guidelines as having less than significant or no impacts, and therefore were not included in the Final EIR. Agricultural Resources. The Initial Study concluded that the soils within the Transit Zoning Code (SD 84A and SD 84B) area are not candidates for listing as prime farmland, unique farmland, or farmland of statewide importance. In addition, no farmland or agricultural activity exists on or in the vicinity of the Transit Zoning Code, and no portion is under a Williamson Act contract. The Initial Study concluded no that no impacts would occur. Geology and Soils. The Transit Zoning Code (SD 84A and SD 84B) area is located in an area of minimal geologic hazards. Any development within the project area would be designed in accordance with applicable building code requirements, which account for seismic groundshaking. The Initial Study concluded that no and less than significant impacts to would occur. Mineral Resources. The Initial Study determined that implementation of the Transit Zoning Code (SD 84A and SD 84B) would not result in the loss of availability of either a known mineral resource of value to the state or region, or a locally important mineral resource recovery site, because no such sites exist within the project area. The Initial Study concluded that implementation of the Transit Zoning Code (SD 84A and SD 84B) would not result in the loss of   Planning Commission 1 – 89 3/6/2025       City Council 24 – 493 6/3/2025 January 2025 15 Environmental Analysis availability of a locally important mineral resource delineated on a local general plan, specific plan, or other land use plan. Because the TZC Final EIR was certified in 2010, certain topics that were later added to the state CEQA Guidelines checklist were not included. The Tribal Cultural Resources topic was added to the CEQA Guidelines in 2017. Although added as a separate topic, the TZC DEIR Cultural Resources section did include an evaluation of Native American resources in Section 4.4.1 – Environmental Setting and Section 4.4.2 – Regulatory Framework. Impact 4.4-1 included MM 4.4-1(a) that required construction monitoring by a tribe. The TZC EIR included a Global Climate Change topic, which included greenhouse gas emissions. The Greenhouse Gas Emissions topic was added to the CEQA Guidelines in 2018. Greenhouse Gas Emissions was discussed in Section 4.13.2 – Existing Conditions, Section 4.13.2 – Regulatory Framework, and Section 4.13.4 – Project Impacts and Mitigation Measures. The Energy and Wildfire topics were added to the CEQA Guidelines in 2018. Although added as separate topics, Energy is discussed within Sections 4.12.12 and 4.12.13 of the Utilities and Service Systems topic of the TZC EIR. Wildfire (i.e. wildland fires), is discussed within Section 4.5.3 of the Hazards and Hazardous Materials topic of the TZC EIR. Although these topics were added following certification of the TZC Final EIR, they were discussed and analyzed in the respective sections identified above and do not represent new impacts not previously addressed. Sections 5.1 through 5.13, below, analyzes the potentially significant impacts that could occur as a result of implementing the proposed project through the adoption of the proposed text regulations identified in Table 1 – Current and Proposed Text Regulations. Each topical section lists impact statements and mitigation measures from the TZC EIR, and provides an analysis and conclusion. Each TZC EIR conclusion includes a reference to the EIR impact statement (ex., Impact 4.1-3) and includes its associated significance finding. 5.1 AESTHETICS/VISUAL RESOURCES This section analyzes the effects to aesthetics and visual resources from implementing the proposed zoning code regulations. Would the project: a. Have a substantial adverse effect on a scenic vista? b. Substantially damage scenic resources, including, but not limited to, trees, rock outcroppings, and historic buildings within a state scenic highway? c. Substantially degrade the existing visual character or quality of the site and its surroundings? d. Create a new source of substantial light or glare, which would adversely affect day or nighttime views in the area? e. A project would be considered to create significant shade/shadow impacts if shade/shadow from the project results in a substantial loss of sunlight in a residential area or other sensitive receptor. Other sensitive receptors would include schools and parks.   Planning Commission 1 – 90 3/6/2025       City Council 24 – 494 6/3/2025 January 2025 16 Environmental Analysis TZC EIR Conclusions • Implementation of the Transit Zoning Code (SD 84A and SD 84B) would not substantially damage scenic resources within a State scenic highway, and no further analysis is necessary in this EIR. (DEIR Section 4.1.3: Effects Found to Have No Impact) • Development under the Transit Zoning Code (SD 84A and SD 84B) would contribute to the image of, and add to the aesthetic quality of the City. As such, development under the proposed project would not degrade the existing visual quality of the area or obstruct key existing views and/or vistas in the vicinity. (Impact 4.1-1: Less Than Significant without mitigation) • Future development under the Transit Zoning Code (SD 84A and SD 84B) would improve the existing visual character. (Impact 4.1-2: Less Than Significant without mitigation) • Long-term cumulative development occurring pursuant to the Transit Zoning Code, and associated infrastructure improvements would result in new sources of increased daytime glare. (Impact 4.1-3: Less Than Significant with mitigation) • Long-term cumulative development occurring pursuant to the Transit Zoning Code would result in new sources of spillover light. (Impact 4.1-4: Less Than Significant with mitigation) • Long-term cumulative development occurring pursuant to the Transit Zoning Code (SD 84A and SD 84B) would result in a substantial increase in shade/shadows over sensitive uses. (Impact 4.1-5: Significant and Unavoidable and no feasible mitigation) TZC EIR FEIR Mitigation Measures MM4.1-1 Proposed new structures shall be designed to maximize the use of textured or other non-reflective exterior surfaces and non-reflective glass. Building materials shall be reviewed by the City of Santa Ana prior to issuance of building permits for each project. (Impact 4.1-3) MM4.1-2 All exterior lighting and advertising (including signage) shall be directed onto the specific location intended for illumination (e.g., parking lots, driveways, and walkways) and shielded away from adjacent properties and public rights-of-way to minimize light spillover onto adjacent areas. (Impact 4.1-4) MM4.1-3 Prior to issuance of a building permit for a specific development project, the applicant shall submit a lighting plan to the City for review and approval. The plan shall specify the lighting type and placement to ensure that the effects of security and other outdoor lighting are minimized on adjacent uses and do not create spillover effects. The plan shall specifically incorporate the following design features: o All projects shall incorporate project design features to shield light and/or glare from vehicles entering or exiting parking lots and structures that face sensitive uses (e.g., schools, hospitals, senior housing, or other residential properties) by providing barriers so that light from vehicle headlights would not illuminate off-site sensitive uses. o All projects shall incorporate project design features to provide landscaping, physical barriers, screening, or other buffers to minimize project-generated illumination from entering off-site areas and to prevent glare or interference with vehicular traffic, in accordance with the City’s Municipal Code. (Impact 4.1-4)   Planning Commission 1 – 91 3/6/2025       City Council 24 – 495 6/3/2025 January 2025 17 Environmental Analysis MM4.1-4 For any proposed structure that would exceed four stories in height, applicants shall submit a site-specific shade/shadow report with renderings representing the level of shade/shadows associated with the proposed development at the following times: 9:00 A.M., 12:00 P.M., 3:00 P.M. PST for the both the winter and summer solstices. An additional rendering for the 5:00 P.M. PST time period shall be prepared for the summer solstice period. Typically, a variety of criteria are used to determine the significance of a shadow impact, including the following: o Affected land use (criticality of direct sunlight for the use). o Duration (hours per day in shadow); time of day (critical time period for direct sunlight). o Season (time of year use would be shadowed). o Extent (percentage of use that would be shadowed). o Preexisting condition (shadow condition due to existing buildings, landscaping, or other features). o Type (solid or dappled shadow). The report shall include any feasible design considerations that would reduce the extent of shadows cast by a proposed structure. The analysis and the project design plans shall be forwarded to the Planning and Building Agency for review and approval. (Impact 4.1-5) Project Analysis and Conclusion The City determined that no impacts related to State Scenic Highways would result from implementation of the project because no scenic highways are located within the TZC area. Impacts related to visual and aesthetic quality (Impact 4.1-1) and visual character (Impact 4.1- 2) were below the level of significance and did not require mitigation. Impacts related to daytime glare (Impact 4.1-3) and spillover light (Impact 4.1-4) were less than significant with the implementation of mitigation measures. Long-term development related shade and shadows (Impact 4.1-5) were found to be significant and unavoidable and that specific economic, social, or other considerations make mitigation infeasible. Specifically, no additional feasible mitigation measures exist that would avoid or substantially reduce these impacts. Implementation of the project through the proposed adoption of the text regulations identified in Table 1 – Current and Proposed Text Regulations does not trigger new aesthetic and visual resources impacts requiring preparation of a supplemental or subsequent EIR because the project modifies the list of land uses and permit types (refer to Table 1 – Current and Proposed Text Regulations) including the deletion of industrial land uses; amend nonconforming regulations including the additional of an amortization process; amend and add operational standards for allowed uses and nonconforming uses; and delete the Industrial Overlay (I-OZ) zone from text and maps; and delete the M1 (Light Industrial) and M2 (Heavy Industrial) suffixes from certain properties within the TZC area. Thus, there are no new land uses being introduced or different development standards that would have aesthetic or visual resource impacts. In particular, the proposed amendments will establish regulations for nonconforming uses, including light and glare. These regulations and standards will cover general standards, enclosed operations, light, glare, and outdoor storage and screening. No direct or indirect glare or heat, whether from floodlights or from high-temperature processes (including combustion or welding or otherwise) shall be visible or felt at the property line. Lighting must be shielded, boxed, or directed at a downward angle so as to minimize the generation of light and glare and to assure that there is no spillover of light and glare that will impact drivers or pedestrians on the public streets, on site activities, and adjoining or nearby properties. No activity shall be permitted which causes excessive light and glare to be transmitted or reflected to surrounding properties at a level resulting in detrimental impacts to adjacent properties. Light sources shall generally not be permitted in landscaped, buffer, or setback areas except for those illuminating   Planning Commission 1 – 92 3/6/2025       City Council 24 – 496 6/3/2025 January 2025 18 Environmental Analysis pedestrian walkways. Lighting used to illuminate parking areas shall be designed, located, and installed to be shielded and downlit and to reflect away from any nearby residential areas. Lighting for advertising signs shall not create glare or light which extends to surrounding properties. Any future development within the TZC area requiring discretionary action would be subject to a project-level CEQA review at the time an application is filed for an individual project. In addition, compliance with the existing regulations and proposed regulations will assure that potential impacts are not exacerbated, which will result in a beneficial impact to aesthetics and visual resources. Mitigation measures MM4.1-1 through MM4.1-4 would continue to apply. Therefore, the project does not trigger new aesthetics impacts requiring the preparation of a subsequent or supplemental EIR. There would be no new or more significant impacts to aesthetics and visual resources. 5.2 AIR QUALITY This section analyzes the effects to air quality from implementing the proposed zoning code regulations. Would the project: a. Conflict with or obstruct implementation of the applicable air quality plan? b. Violate any air quality standard or contribute substantially to an existing or projected air quality violation? c. Result in a cumulatively considerable net increase of any criteria pollutant for which the proposed project region is in non-attainment under an applicable federal or State ambient air quality standard (including releasing emissions which exceed quantitative thresholds for ozone precursors)? d. Expose sensitive receptors to substantial pollutant concentrations? e. Create objectionable odors affecting a substantial number of people? TZC EIR Conclusions • The project would not create substantial objectionable odors. (Impact 4.2-1: Less Than Significant with mitigation) • The project would not create short-term quantities of criteria pollutants above the significance thresholds published by SCAQMD. (Impact 4.2-2: Less Than Significant with mitigation) • Operation of the project would increase local traffic volumes, but would not expose sensitive receptors to substantial localized carbon monoxide (CO) concentrations. (Impact 4.2-3: Less Than Significant without mitigation) • The anticipated population increase of 12,225 new residents as a result of the long -term cumulative development pursuant to the Transit Zoning Code is consistent with the SCAG growth projections for Santa Ana and, therefore, would not conflict with or obstruct implementation of the Air Quality Management Plan. (Impact 4.2-4: Less Than Significant without mitigation) • Construction activities associated with the construction of individual projects within the Transit Zoning Code area, including the Developer project, would contribute substantially to an existing or projected air quality violation for criteria air pollutants. (Impact 4.2-5: Significant and Unavoidable with mitigation)   Planning Commission 1 – 93 3/6/2025       City Council 24 – 497 6/3/2025 January 2025 19 Environmental Analysis • Operation of the proposed project would exceed South Coast Air Quality Management District standards for VOC, NOX, CO, and PM10 and would result in a projected air quality violation. (Impact 4.2-6: Significant and Unavoidable and no feasible mitigation) • Construction and operation of the proposed project would result in a cumulatively considerable net increase of criteria pollutants for which the proposed project region is in nonattainment under an applicable federal or state ambient air quality standard. (Impact 4.2-7: Significant and Unavoidable and no feasible mitigation) TZC EIR Mitigation Measures MM4.2-1 Trash receptacles within the Transit Zoning Code (SD 84A and SD 84B) will be required to have lids that enable convenient collection and loading and will be emptied on a regular basis, in compliance with City of Santa Ana regulations for the collection of solid waste. (Impact 4.2-1) MM4.2-2 The construction contractor should ensure that no more than 5 acres per day are actively graded or developed. (Impact 4.2-2) MM4.2-3 The construction contractor should ensure that all active disturbed surfaces should be watered three times per day throughout the construction period. (Impact 4.2-2) MM4.2-4 The construction contractor should ensure that the mass grading, fine grading, and structure construction are conducted at separate time periods and do not overlap with one another. (Impact 4.2-2) MM4.2-5 The construction contractor should ensure that all haul roads are watered three (3) times per day. (Impact 4.2-2) MM4.2-6 The construction contractor should ensure that all traffic on unpaved roads is reduced to 15 mph or less. (Impact 4.2-2) MM4.2-7 Project applicants shall require by contract specifications that all diesel-powered equipment used will be retrofitted with after-treatment products (e.g., engine catalysts) to the extent that they are readily available in the South Coast Air Basin. Contract specifications shall be included in project construction documents, which shall be reviewed by the City of Santa Ana prior to issuance of a grading permit. (Impact 4.2-5) MM4.2-8 Project applicants shall require by contract specifications that all heavy-duty diesel- powered equipment operating and refueling at the project site use low-NOX diesel fuel to the extent that it is readily available and cost effective (up to 125 percent of the cost of California Air Resources Board diesel) in the South Coast Air Basin (this does not apply to diesel-powered trucks traveling to and from the project site). Contract specifications shall be included in project construction documents, which shall be reviewed by the City of Santa Ana prior to issuance of a grading permit. (Impact 4.2-5) MM4.2-9 Project applicants shall require by contract specifications that alternative fuel construction equipment (i.e., compressed natural gas, liquid petroleum gas, and unleaded gasoline) be utilized to the extent that the equipment is readily available and cost effective in the South Coast Air Basin.

(Impact 4.2-6) MM4.2-34 Prior to issuance of a building permit, the applicant shall demonstrate that measures have been included to provide adequate bicycle parking near building entrances to promote cyclist safety, security, and convenience. Documentation of compliance with this measure shall be provided to the City Building Official for review and approval. Installation of the identified design features or equipment will be confirmed by the City Building Official prior to issuance of certificate of occupancy. (Impact 4.2-6) MM4.2-35 Prior to issuance of any certificate of occupancy, the applicant shall demonstrate that all interior building lighting supports the use of compact fluorescent light bulbs or equivalently efficient lighting to the satisfaction of the City Building Official. (Impact 4.2-6) MM4.2-36 Tenants shall be responsible to ensure that preferential parking spaces are allocated to ultra-low emission vehicles and alternative fueled vehicles to encourage the use of alternative fuels and ultra-low emission vehicles. (Impact 4.2-6) MM4.2-2 through MM4.2-29 would also apply to this impact. (Impact 4.2-7) Project Analysis and Conclusion The City determined that impacts related to increased local traffic volumes (Impact 5.2-3) and SCAG growth projections (Impact 4.2-4) were below the level of significance and did not require mitigation. Impacts related to objectionable odors (Impact 4.2-1), criteria pollutants (Impact 4.2- 2), contribute to an air quality violation (Impact 4.2-5) were less than significant with the implementation of mitigation measures. Impacts related to exceeding criteria pollutants during operations (Impact 4.2-6) and construction (Impact 4.2-7) were significant and unavoidable, and that specific economic, social, or other considerations make infeasible additional mitigation. Specifically, no additional feasible mitigation measures exist that would avoid or substantially reduce these impacts.   Planning Commission 1 – 98 3/6/2025       City Council 24 – 502 6/3/2025 January 2025 24 Environmental Analysis The proposed adoption of the text regulations identified in Table 1 – Current and Proposed Text Regulations would not require preparation of a supplemental or subsequent EIR because the project modifies the list of land uses and permit types including the deletion of industrial land uses; amend nonconforming regulations including the additional of an amortization process; amend and add operational standards for allowed uses and nonconforming uses; and delete the Industrial Overlay (I-OZ) zone from text and maps; and delete the M1 (Light Industrial) and M2 (Heavy Industrial) suffixes from certain properties within the TZC area. Thus, there are no new land uses being introduced that would have air quality impacts. The proposed amendments will introduce new regulations for nonconforming industrial use that would discontinue nonconforming noxious uses, establish screening walls, eliminate vehicle servicing on Sundays. These regulations would reduce dust and lessen air quality emissions. No land use shall generate or cause any visible dust, gases, or smoke to be emitted into the atmosphere. Uses, activities, and processes shall not operate in a manner that emits dust, fumes, odors, smoke, or particulate matter, unless authorized under Federal, State, or local law. Sources of air emissions shall comply with all rules established by the Environmental Protection Agency (Code of Federal Regulations, Title 40), the California Air Resources Board, and the South Coast Air Quality Management District. These regulations will have a beneficial impact to air quality. Any future development within the TZC area requiring discretionary action would continue to be subject to a project-level CEQA review at the time an application is filed for an individual project. In addition, compliance with the existing regulations and proposed amendments will assure that potential impacts are not exacerbated, which will result in a beneficial impact to air quality. Mitigation measures MM4.2-1 through MM4.2-36 would continue to apply. Therefore, the project does not trigger new air quality impacts requiring the preparation of a subsequent or supplemental EIR. There would be no new or more severe significant impacts to air quality. 5.3 BIOLOGICAL RESOURCES This section analyzes the effects to biological resources from implementing the proposed zoning code regulations. Would the project: a. Have a substantial adverse effect, either directly or through habitat modifications, on any species identified as a candidate, sensitive, or special status species in local or regional plans, policies, or regulations, or by the California Department of Fish and Wildlife or U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service? b. Have a substantial adverse effect on any riparian habitat or other sensitive natural community identified in local or regional plans, policies, regulations or by the California Department of Fish and Game or U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service? c. Have a substantial adverse effect on federally protected wetlands (including, but not limited to, marsh, vernal pool, coastal, etc.) through direct removal, filling, hydrological interruption, or other means? d. Interfere substantially with the movement of any native resident or migratory fish or wildlife species or with established native resident or migratory wildlife corridors, or impede the use of native wildlife nursery sites? e. Conflict with any local policies or ordinances protecting biological resources, such as a tree preservation policy or ordinance? f. Conflict with the provisions of an adopted Habitat Conservation Plan, Natural Community Conservation Plan, or other approved local, regional, or state habitat conservation plan? TZC EIR Conclusions   Planning Commission 1 – 99 3/6/2025       City Council 24 – 503 6/3/2025 January 2025 25 Environmental Analysis • No endangered, rare, threatened, or special status plant species (or associated habitats) or wildlife species designated by the USFWS, CDFG, or CNPS are known to occur or expected to occur within the Transit Zoning Code (SD 84A and SD 84B) area. (DEIR Section 4.3.3: Effects Found to Have No Impact) • No riparian habitat or other sensitive natural communities are located in these areas. (DEIR Section 4.3.3: Effects Found to Have No Impact) • The Transit Zoning Code (SD 84A and SD 84B) area is not in proximity to, nor does it contain, wetland habitat or a blueline stream. (DEIR Section 4.3.3: Effects Found to Have No Impact) • The Transit Zoning Code (SD 84A and SD 84B) is surrounded by urban uses on all four sides, including two highways, and, therefore, does not function as a wildlife movement corridor. (DEIR Section 4.3.3: Effects Found to Have No Impact) • Implementation of the project would not conflict with any local policies or ordinances protecting biological resources. (DEIR Section 4.3.3: Effects Found to Have No Impact) • No conflict with an adopted habitat conservation plan, Orange County NCCP/HCP or other local, regional, or state habitat conservation plan would occur, and there would be no impact. (DEIR Section 4.3.3: Effects Found to Have No Impact) • Long-term cumulative development occurring pursuant to the Transit Zoning Code would not result in a potential reduction in nesting opportunities for resident and migratory avian species of special concern. (Impact 4.3-1: Less Than Significant without mitigation) TZC EIR Mitigation Measures MM4.3-1 To ensure that avian species of concern, protected migratory species (e.g., MBTA), or raptors species are not injured or disturbed by construction in the vicinity of nesting habitat, the project applicant shall implement the following measures: 1. Tree removal shall be restricted to the period between August 30 and February 15, to the extent feasible, to avoid the breeding season of any migratory species that could be using the area, and to discourage nesting in the vicinity of an upcoming construction area. If it is not feasible to remove trees outside this window then, prior to the beginning of mass grading, including grading for major infrastructure improvements, during the period between February 15 and August 30, all trees within 250 feet of any grading or earthmoving activity shall be surveyed for active nests by a qualified biologist no more than 30 days prior to disturbance. If active nests are found, and the site is within 250 feet of potential construction activity, a temporary fence shall be erected, where appropriate, around the tree(s) at a distance of up to 250 feet, depending on the species, from the edge of the canopy to prevent construction disturbance and intrusions on the nest area. The appropriate buffer shall be determined in consultation with the City of Santa Ana Park Naturalist or a designee. 2. No construction vehicles shall be permitted within restricted areas (i.e., protection zones), unless directly related to the management or protection of the legally protected species. 3. If a legally protected species nest is located in a tree designated for removal, the removal shall be deferred until after August 30, or until the adults and young of the year are no longer dependent on the nest site as determined by a qualified biologist. (Impact 4.3-1) Project Analysis and Conclusion   Planning Commission 1 – 100 3/6/2025       City Council 24 – 504 6/3/2025 January 2025 26 Environmental Analysis The City determined that impacts related to endangered, rare, threatened, or special status plant species or associated habitats or wildlife species, riparian habitat and sensitive natural communities, wetlands or blue line streams, wildlife movement corridors, habitat conservation plans, and biological resource policies would not have any impacts. Impacts to avian species were less than significant with implementation of the mitigation measures. The proposed adoption of the text regulations identified in Table 1 – Current and Proposed Text Regulations would not require preparation of a supplemental or subsequent EIR because the TZC area is intended to be developed for urban uses and located in an area that is completely developed for urban uses. Because TZC area is a heavily disturbed and graded area consisting of industrial and residential uses, and the project does not introduce any new types of land use, and instead removes the industrial overlay zone, there will be no impacts to biological resources. Any future development within the TZC area requiring discretionary action would be subject to a project-level CEQA review at the time an application is filed for an individual project. In addition, compliance with the existing regulations and proposed regulations will assure that potential impacts are not exacerbated, which will result in a beneficial impact to biological resources. The project does not trigger new biological resource impacts requiring the preparation of a subsequent or supplemental EIR. Mitigation measure MM4.3-1 would continue to apply. There would be no new or more significant impacts to biological resources. 5.4 CULTURAL RESOURCES This section analyzes the effects to cultural resources and tribal cultural resources from implementing the proposed zoning code regulations. Would the project: a. Cause a substantial adverse change in the significance of a historical resource as defined in §15064.5 of the CEQA Guidelines? b. Cause a substantial adverse change in the significance of an archaeological resource pursuant to §15064.5 of the CEQA Guidelines? c. Directly or indirectly destroy a unique paleontological resource or unique geologic feature? d. Disturb any human remains, including those interred outside of dedicated cemeteries? TZC EIR Conclusions • Long-term cumulative development occurring pursuant to the Transit Zoning Code could cause a substantial adverse change in the significance of an archaeological resource or disturb human remains. (Impact 4.4-1: Less Than Significant with mitigation) • Long-term cumulative development occurring pursuant to the Transit Zoning Code has the potential to directly or indirectly destroy a unique paleontological resource or unique geologic feature. (Impact 4.4-2: Less Than Significant with mitigation) • The adoption of the Transit Zoning Code (SD 84A and SD 84B) would result in substantial adverse change in the significance of a historical resource as defined in Section 15064.5 of the CEQA Guidelines. (Impact 4.4-3: Significant and Unavoidable and no feasible mitigation) TZC EIR Mitigation Measures   Planning Commission 1 – 101 3/6/2025       City Council 24 – 505 6/3/2025 January 2025 27 Environmental Analysis MM4.4-1(a) Prior to any earth-disturbing activities (e.g., excavation, trenching, grading) that could encounter undisturbed soils, the project applicant shall retain an archaeologist who meets the Secretary of the Interior’s Professional Qualifications Standards for Archaeology to determine if the project could result in a substantial adverse change in the significance of an archaeological resource pursuant to Section 15064.5 of the CEQA Guidelines or disturb human remains. The investigation shall include, as determined appropriate by the archaeologist and the City of Santa Ana, an updated records search of the South Central Coastal Information Center (SCCIC) of the California Historical Resources Information System (CHRIS), updated Native American consultation, and a pedestrian survey of the area proposed for development. The results of the investigation shall be documented in a technical report or memorandum that identifies and evaluates any archaeological resources within the development area and includes recommendations and methods for eliminating or avoiding impacts on archaeological resources or human remains. The measures shall include, as appropriate, subsurface testing of archaeological resources and/or construction monitoring by a qualified professional and, if necessary, appropriate Native American monitors identified by the applicable tribe (e.g., the Gabrieliño Tongva Nation) and/or the Native American Heritage Commission. The methods shall also include procedures for the unanticipated discovery of human remains, which shall be in accordance with Section 5097.98 of the State Public Resources Code and Section 7050.5 of California’s Health and Safety Code. The technical report or memorandum shall be submitted to the City of Santa Ana for approval. As determined necessary by the City, environmental documentation (e.g., CEQA documentation) prepared for future development within the project site shall reference or incorporate the findings and recommendations of the technical report or memorandum. The project applicant shall be responsible for implementing methods for eliminating or avoiding impacts on archaeological resources identified in the technical report or memorandum. Projects that would not encounter undisturbed soils and would therefore not be required to retain an archaeologist shall demonstrate non-disturbance to the City through the appropriate construction plans or geotechnical studies prior to any earth-disturbing activities. Projects that would include any earth disturbance (disturbed or undisturbed soils) shall comply with MM4.4-2(b). (Impact 4.4-1) MM4.4-1(b) If evidence of an archaeological site or other suspected historical resource as defined by CEQA Guidelines Section 15064.5, including darkened soil representing past human activity (“midden”), that could conceal material remains (e.g., worked stone, fired clay vessels, faunal bone, hearths, storage pits, or burials) are discovered during any project-related earth- disturbing activities (including projects that would not encounter undisturbed soils), all earth- disturbing activity within 100 feet of the find shall be halted and the City of Santa Ana shall be notified. The project applicant shall retain an archaeologist who meets the Secretary of the Interior’s Professional Qualifications Standards for Archaeology to assess the significance of the find. Impacts to any significant resources shall be mitigated to a less-than-significant level through data recovery or other methods determined adequate by the archaeologist and that are consistent with the Secretary of the Interior's Standards for Archaeological Documentation. Any identified cultural resources shall be recorded on the appropriate DPR 523 (A-L) form and filed with the SCCIC. (Impact 4.4-1) MM4.4-2(a) Prior to any earth-disturbing activities (e.g., excavation, trenching, grading) that could encounter undisturbed soils, the project applicant shall retain a professional paleontologist to determine if the project could directly or indirectly destroy a unique paleontological resource or site or unique geologic feature. The investigation shall include, as determined appropriate by the paleontologist and the City of Santa Ana, a paleontology records check and a pedestrian survey of the area proposed for development. The results of the investigation shall be documented in a technical report or memorandum that identifies the paleontological sensitivity of the development area and includes recommendations and methods for eliminating or avoiding impacts on paleontological resources or unique geologic   Planning Commission 1 – 102 3/6/2025       City Council 24 – 506 6/3/2025 January 2025 28 Environmental Analysis features. The technical report or memorandum shall be submitted to the City for approval. As determined necessary by the City, environmental documentation (e.g., CEQA documentation) prepared for future development within the project site shall reference or incorporate the findings and recommendations of the technical report or memorandum. The project applicant shall be responsible for implementing methods for eliminating or avoiding impacts on paleontological resources or unique geologic features identified in the technical report or memorandum. Projects that would not encounter undisturbed soils and would therefore not be required to retain a paleontologist shall demonstrate non-disturbance to the City through the appropriate construction plans or geotechnical studies prior to any earth-disturbing activities. Projects that would include any earth disturbance (disturbed or undisturbed soils) shall comply with MM4.4-3(b). (Impact 4.4-2) MM4.4-2(b) Should paleontological resources (i.e., fossil remains) be identified at a particular site during project construction, the construction foreman shall cease construction within 100 feet of the find until a qualified professional can provide an evaluation. Mitigation of resource impacts shall be implemented and funded by the project applicant and shall be conducted as follows: 1. Identify and evaluate paleontological resources by intense field survey where impacts are considered high 2. Assess effects on identified sites 3 Consult with the institutional/academic paleontologists conducting research investigations within the geological formations that are slated to be impacted 4. Obtain comments from the researchers 5. Comply with researchers’ recommendations to address any significant adverse effects where determined by the City to be feasible In considering any suggested mitigation proposed by the consulting paleontologist, the City of Santa Ana staff shall determine whether avoidance is necessary and feasible in light of factors such as the nature of the find, project design, costs, applicable policies and land use assumptions, and other considerations. If avoidance is unnecessary or infeasible, other appropriate measures (e.g., data recovery) shall be instituted. Work may proceed on other parts of the project site while mitigation for paleontological resources is carried out. (Impact 4.4- 2) MM4.4-3 Prior to development activities that would demolish or otherwise physically affect buildings or structures 50 years old or older or affect their historic setting, the project applicant shall retain a cultural resource professional who meets the Secretary of the Interior’s Professional Qualifications Standards for Architectural History to determine if the project would cause a substantial adverse change in the significance of a historical resource as defined in Section 15064.5 of the CEQA Guidelines. The investigation shall include, as determined appropriate by the cultural resource professional and the City of Santa Ana, the appropriate archival research, including, if necessary, an updated records search of the South Central Coastal Information Center (SCCIC) of the California Historical Resources Information System (CHRIS) and a pedestrian survey of the proposed development area to determine if any significant historic-period resources would be adversely affected by the proposed development. The results of the investigation shall be documented in a technical report or memorandum that identifies and evaluates any historical resources within the development area and includes recommendations and methods for eliminating or reducing impacts on historical resources. The technical report or memorandum shall be submitted to the City Santa Ana for approval. As determined necessary by the City, environmental documentation (e.g., CEQA documentation) prepared for future development within the project site shall reference or incorporate the findings and recommendations of the technical report or memorandum. The project applicant shall be responsible for implementing methods for eliminating or reducing impacts on historical   Planning Commission 1 – 103 3/6/2025       City Council 24 – 507 6/3/2025 January 2025 29 Environmental Analysis resources identified in the technical report or memorandum. Such methods could include, but not be limited to, written and photographic recordation of the resource in accordance with the level of Historic American Building Survey (HABS) documentation that is appropriate to the significance (local, state, national) of the resource. (Impact 4.4-3) Project Analysis and Conclusion The City determined that impacts related to archaeological resources (Impact 4.4-1) unique paleontological resources (Impact 4.4-2), and disturbing human remains were less than significant with the implementation of mitigation measures. Impacts related to historical resources (Impact 4.4-3) were found to be significant and unavoidable and that specific economic, social, or other considerations make infeasible additional mitigation. Specifically, no additional feasible mitigation measures exist that would avoid or substantially reduce these impacts. The TZC EIR states that there are 80 designated historic properties that are listed on the Santa Ana Register of Historical Properties, five that are listed on the California Points of Historical Interest, and one that is listed on the California Historical Landmarks within and adjacent to the TZC area. The TZC area has already been subject to extensive disruption from previous development and may contain artificial fill materials. The proposed adoption of the text regulations identified in Table 1 – Current and Proposed Text Regulations would not require preparation of a supplemental or subsequent EIR because specific development projects are neither included nor required, nor would the project introduce new land uses that would have impact to cultural or tribal cultural resources that could otherwise make the long-term significant and unavoidable historical resource impacts more severe. Any future development within the TZC area requiring discretionary action would continue to be subject to a project-level CEQA review at the time an application is filed for an individual project. In addition, compliance with the existing regulations and proposed amendments will assure that potential impacts are not exacerbated. Mitigation measures MM4.4-1(a), MM4.4- 1(b), MM4.4-2(a), MM4.2(b), and MM4.4-3 would continue to apply. In addition, compliance with the existing regulations and proposed regulations identified in Table 1 – Current and Proposed Text Regulations will assure that potential impacts are not exacerbated, which will result in a beneficial impact to cultural resources. Therefore, the project does not trigger new cultural or tribal cultural resource impacts requiring the preparation of a subsequent or supplemental EIR. There would be no new or more severe significant impacts to cultural and tribal cultural resources. 5.5 HAZARDS AND HAZARDOUS MATERIALS This section analyzes the effects to hazards and hazardous materials from implementing the proposed zoning code regulations. Would the project: a. Create a significant hazard to the public or the environment through the routine transport, use, or disposal of hazardous materials? b. Create a significant hazard to the public or the environment through reasonably foreseeable upset and accident conditions involving the release of hazardous materials into the environment?   Planning Commission 1 – 104 3/6/2025       City Council 24 – 508 6/3/2025 January 2025 30 Environmental Analysis c. Emit hazardous emissions or handle hazardous or acutely hazardous materials, substances, or waste within one-quarter mile of an existing or proposed school? d. Be located on a site which is included on a list of hazardous materials sites compiled pursuant to Government Code Section 65962.5 and, as a result, would it create a significant hazard to the public or the environment? e. For a project located within an airport land use plan or, where such a plan has not been adopted, within two miles of a public airport or public use airport, would the project result in a safety hazard for people residing or working in the project area? f. For a project within the vicinity of a private airstrip, would the project result in a safety hazard for people residing or working in the project area? g. Impair implementation of or physically interfere with an adopted emergency response plan or emergency evacuation plan? h. Expose people or structures to a significant risk of loss, injury, or death involving wildland fires, including where wildlands are adjacent to urbanized areas or where residences are intermixed with wildlands? TZC EIR Conclusions • A private airstrip/heliport is not known to be located within the Transit Zoning Code (SD 84A and SD 84B) area, nor is the Transit Zoning Code (SD 84A and SD 84B) area located in close proximity to a private airstrip/heliport. (DEIR Section 4.5.3: Effects Found to Have No Impact) • The Transit Zoning Code (SD 84A and SD 84B) area is located in a dense urban environment and is surrounded by existing development. There are no wildland areas, nor wildland interface areas located in the vicinity. Consequently, no wildland fires would affect, or be affected by, implementation of the proposed Transit Zoning Code (SD 84A and SD 84B). (DEIR Section 4.5.3: Effects Found to Have No Impact) • Long-term cumulative development occurring pursuant to the Transit Zoning Code could involve the transportation, use, storage, and/or disposal of hazardous materials, such as diesel exhaust. (Impact 4.5-1: Less Than Significant without mitigation) • Construction activities associated with implementation of the proposed Transit Zoning Code (SD 84A and SD 84B) would result in the release of hazardous materials to the environment through reasonably foreseeable upset and accident conditions. (Impact 4.5-2: Less Than Significant with mitigation) • Construction activities associated with the implementation of the Transit Zoning Code would result in the handling of hazardous materials, substances, or waste within one- quarter mile of an existing school. (Impact 4.5-3: Less Than Significant without mitigation) • The Transit Zoning Code (SD 84A and SD 84B) includes sites which are included on a list of hazardous materials sites and as a result, would create a significant hazard to the public or environment. (Impact 4.5-4: Less Than Significant with mitigation) • Construction activities associated with the implementation of the Transit Zoning Code could result in a safety hazard for people residing or working in the project area. (Impact 4.5-5: Less Than Significant with mitigation) • The Transit Zoning Code could impair the implementation of, or physically interfere with, an adopted emergency response plan or emergency evacuation plan resulting in a significant impact. (Impact 4.5-6: Less Than Significant with mitigation)   Planning Commission 1 – 105 3/6/2025       City Council 24 – 509 6/3/2025 January 2025 31 Environmental Analysis TZC EIR Mitigation Measures MM4.5-1 When sites that are listed in the EDR Report initiate project development, the project applicant shall prepare a Phase I ESA for the proposed site. The Phase I ESA shall be prepared in accordance with ASTM E-1527-05 “Standard Practice for Environmental Site Assessments: Phase I Environmental Site Assessment Process” (November 1, 2006). The purpose of a Phase I ESA is to identify environmental conditions at a proposed project site that may suggest environmental contamination. The Phase I ESA report shall be prepared by a CA EPA Registered Environmental Assessor or similarly qualified individual prior to initiating any construction activities at the site. If recommended in the Phase I ESA, the project sponsor shall undertake (or require the responsible party to undertake) a Phase II ESA soil sampling plan; or if any environmental contamination is identified by the Phase I ESA, the project sponsor shall implement (or require the responsible party to implement) the recommendations of the report to further investigate and to remove any soil contamination. (Impact 4.5-2) MM4.5-2 In the event that previously unknown or unidentified soil and/or groundwater contamination that could present a threat to human health or the environment is encountered during construction in the Transit Zoning Code (SD 84A and SD 84B) area, construction activities in the immediate vicinity of the contamination shall cease immediately. If contamination is encountered, a Risk Management Plan shall be prepared and implemented that (1) identifies the contaminants of concern and the potential risk each contaminant would pose to human health and the environment during construction and post-development and (2) describes measures to be taken to protect workers, and the public from exposure to potential site hazards. Such measures could include a range of options, including, but not limited to, physical site controls during construction, remediation, long-term monitoring, post-development maintenance or access limitations, or some combination thereof. Depending on the nature of contamination, if any, appropriate agencies shall be notified (e.g., Santa Ana Fire Department). If needed, a Site Health and Safety Plan that meets Occupational Safety and Health Administration requirements shall be prepared and in place prior to commencement of work in any contaminated area. (Impact 4.5-2) MM4.5-3 Prior to the demolition of structures that were constructed before 1980, a thorough investigation shall be completed to determine if asbestos, lead, or PCBs exist on the site. All demolition that could result in the release of lead and/or asbestos must be conducted according to Cal/OSHA standards. (Impact 4.5-2) MM4.5-4 For development of structures that exceed 200 feet in height above ground level at a development site, applicants shall file a Notice of Proposed Construction or Alteration with the FAA (FAA Form 7460-1). Following the FAA’s aeronautical evaluation of the project, projects must comply with conditions of approval imposed or recommended by the FAA. Subsequent to the FAA findings, the project shall be reviewed by the ALUC for consistency analysis. (Impact 4.5-5) MM4.5-5 Prior to initiation of construction activities, any development within the Transit Zoning Code (SD 84A and SD 84B) Area shall have a completed traffic control plan, prepared by the project proponent that will be implemented during construction activities. This may include, but is not limited to, the maintenance of at least one unobstructed lane in both directions on surrounding roadways. At any time if only a single lane is available, the developer shall provide a temporary traffic signal, signal carriers (i.e., flagpersons), or other appropriate traffic controls to allow travel in both directions. If construction activities require the complete closure of a roadway segment, the developer shall provide appropriate signage indicating alternative routes. (Impact 4.5-6)   Planning Commission 1 – 106 3/6/2025       City Council 24 – 510 6/3/2025 January 2025 32 Environmental Analysis MM4.5-6 The City Public Works Department shall consult with the Santa Ana Police Department and the Santa Ana Fire Department to disclose temporary closures and alternative travel routes in order to ensure adequate access for emergency vehicles when construction of future projects would result in temporary land or roadway closures. (Impact 4.5-6) MM4.5-7 The Santa Ana Fire Department, in consultation with other applicable City Departments (e.g., Police), shall update their Emergency Preparedness Plan prior to occupancy of the first project developed under the Transit Zoning Code (SD 84A and SD 84B), to address the potential for the accidental release of hazardous materials that may be used, stored, and/or transported in association with operation of project implementation. (Impact 4.5-6) MM4.5-8 Project applicants shall submit evacuation plans on a project by project basis that shall be reviewed and approved by the City Police and Fire Departments. (Impact 4.5-6) Project Analysis and Conclusion The City determined that impacts related to people residing or working in the vicinity of a private airstrip/heliport and wildland areas would have no impact (DEIR Section 4.5.3: Effects Found to Have No Impact). Impacts related to transportation, storage and disposal of hazardous materials (Impact 4.5-1) and handling of hazardous materials near a school (Impact 4.5-3) were below the level of significance and did not require mitigation. Impacts related to reasonably upset of hazardous materials into the environment (Impact 4.5-2), hazardous materials sites (Impact 4.5-4), construction safety hazards for people or residing in the TZC area (Impact 4.5- 5) and interference with an adopted emergency response plan (Impact 4.5-6) were less than significant with the implementation of mitigation measures. The proposed adoption of the text regulations identified in Table 1 – Current and Proposed Text Regulations would not require preparation of a supplemental or subsequent EIR because specific development projects are neither included nor required. The new regulations would require that no material or waste shall be deposited upon a subject parcel in such form or manner that it may be transferred off the parcel by natural causes or forces and that all materials or wastes which might cause fumes or dust, or which constitute a fire hazard, or which may be edible by or otherwise be attractive to rodents or insects shall be stored outdoors only in closed containers. Land or buildings shall not be used or occupied in any manner so as to create any fire, explosive or other hazard. All activities involving the use or storage of combustible, explosive, caustic, or otherwise hazardous materials shall comply with all applicable local, State, and Federal safety standards and shall be provided with adequate safety devices against the hazard of fire and explosion, and adequate firefighting and fire suppression equipment in compliance with City of Santa Ana regulations. The burning of waste materials in open fires without written approval of the Fire Department is prohibited. No activities shall be permitted which emit dangerous radioactivity at any point nor shall electrical disturbances which adversely affect the operation of any equipment, other than that of the creator of such disturbances, be allowed. No use, activity or process shall cause electromagnetic interference with normal radio and television reception, or with the function of other electronic equipment beyond the property line of the site in which it is situated. All uses, activities and processes shall comply with applicable Federal Communications Commission regulations. Any future development within the TZC area requiring discretionary action would continue to be subject to a project-level CEQA review at the time an application is filed for an individual project. Mitigation measures MM4.5-1 through MM4.5-8 would continue to apply. Therefore, the project does not trigger new hazards and hazardous materials impacts requiring the preparation of a subsequent or supplemental EIR. In addition, compliance with the existing regulations and   Planning Commission 1 – 107 3/6/2025       City Council 24 – 511 6/3/2025 January 2025 33 Environmental Analysis proposed amendments will assure that potential impacts to hazards and hazardous materials are not exacerbated. There would be no new or more severe significant impacts to hazards and hazardous materials. 5.6 HYDROLOGY AND WATER QUALITY This section analyzes the effects to hydrology and water quality from implementing the proposed zoning code regulations. Would the project: a. Violate any water quality standards or waste discharge requirements? b. Substantially deplete groundwater supplies or interfere substantially with groundwater recharge such that there would be a net deficit in aquifer volume or a lowering of the local groundwater table level (e.g., the production rate of pre-existing nearby wells would drop to a level that would not support existing land uses or planned uses for which permits have been granted)? c. Substantially alter the existing drainage pattern of the site or area, including through the alteration of the course of stream or river, in a manner that would result in substantial erosion or siltation on or off site? d. Substantially alter the existing drainage pattern of the site or area, including through the alteration of the course of a stream or river, or substantially increase the rate or amount of surface runoff in a manner that would result in flooding on or off site? e. Create or contribute runoff water which would exceed the capacity of existing or planned stormwater drainage systems or provide substantial additional sources of polluted runoff? g. Otherwise substantially degrade water quality? h. Place housing within a 100-year flood hazard area as mapped on a federal Flood Hazard Boundary or Flood Insurance Rate Map or other flood hazard delineation map? i. Place within a 100-year flood hazard area structures, which would impede or redirect flood flows? j. Expose people or structures to a significant risk of loss, injury, or death involving flooding, including flooding as a result of the failure of a levee or dam? k. Expose people or structures to a significant risk of loss, injury, or death involving inundation by seiche, tsunami, or mudflow? TZC EIR Conclusions • The Transit Zoning Code (SD 84A and SD 84B) area is not located within a 100-year flood hazard area as mapped on a federal Flood Hazard Boundary or Flood Insurance Rate Map or other flood hazard delineation map, and is not within the 100-year or 500- year flood hazard area. (DEIR Section 4.6.3: Effects Found to Have No Impact) • The Transit Zoning Code (SD 84A and SD 84B) area is not within the 100-year flood hazard area, (DEIR Section 4.6.3: Effects Found to Have No Impact) • The Transit Zoning Code (SD 84A and SD 84B) area is not located in the flood inundation area of the Prado Dam or the Santiago Dam. (DEIR Section 4.6.3: Effects Found to Have No Impact) • The proposed Transit Zoning Code (SD 84A and SD 84B) would not expose people to a significant risk of loss, injury, or death involving inundation by a seiche, tsunami, or mudflow because the project site is not located near a coastal area, large water body, or   Planning Commission 1 – 108 3/6/2025       City Council 24 – 512 6/3/2025 January 2025 34 Environmental Analysis unstable and exposed hills or slopes. (DEIR Section 4.6.3: Effects Found to Have No Impact) • Implementation of the Transit Zoning Code would not violate water quality standards, waste discharge, or otherwise substantially degrade water quality. (Impact 4.6-1: Less Than Significant with mitigation) • The majority of the Transit Zoning Code (SD 84A and SD 84B) area is already developed and because the project area is not used for groundwater recharge, the operation of future development under the proposed project would not interfere substantially with groundwater recharge. (Impact 4.6-2: Less Than Significant without mitigation with mitigation) • Development under the Transit Zoning Code (SD 84A and SD 84B) could alter the existing drainage pattern of the area and potentially result in erosion and siltation. (Impact 4.6-3: Less Than Significant) • Future development in the Transit Zoning Code (SD 84A and SD 84B) could alter the existing drainage pattern and potentially result in increased downstream flooding through the addition of impervious surfaces, or exceeding the capacity of existing or planned stormwater drainage systems. (Impact 4.6-4: Less Than Significant with mitigation) TZC EIR Mitigation Measures MM4.6-1 In order to comply with the current version of the Drainage Area Master Plan (DAMP), future development projects in the Transit Zoning Code (SD 84A and SD 84B) area shall prepare Storm Drain Plans, Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plans (SWPPP), and Water Quality Management Plans (WQMP) conforming to the current National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) requirements, prepared by a Licensed Civil Engineer or Environmental Engineer, shall be submitted to the Public Works Agency for review and approval. a. A SWPPP shall be prepared and updated as needed during the course of construction to satisfy the requirements of each phase of the development. The plan shall incorporate all necessary Best Management Practices (BMPs) and other City requirements to eliminate polluted runoff until all construction work for the project is completed. The SWPPP shall include treatment and disposal of all dewatering operation flows, and for nuisance flows during construction. The SWPPP may include, but would not necessarily be limited to, the following applicable measures: o Minimum required pavement widths for residential streets needed to comply with all zoning and applicable ordinances o Use permeable materials for private sidewalks, driveways, parking lots, or interior roadway surfaces o Reduce the overall imperviousness associated with parking lots by using pervious materials in spillover parking areas o Direct rooftop runoff to pervious areas and avoid routing rooftop runoff to the roadway or the stormwater conveyance system o Biofilters including vegetated swales and strips o Extended/dry detention basins o Infiltration basin o Infiltration trenches or vaults o Catch basin inserts   Planning Commission 1 – 109 3/6/2025       City Council 24 – 513 6/3/2025 January 2025 35 Environmental Analysis o Continuous flow deflection/separation systems o Storm drain inserts o Media filtration o Foundation planting o Catch basin screens o Normal flow storage/separation systems o Clarifiers o Filtration systems o Primary waste water treatment systems o Dry Wells o Cistern b. A WQMP shall be prepared, maintained, and updated as needed to satisfy the requirements of the adopted NPDES program. The plan shall incorporate water quality measures for all improved phases of the project. (Impact 4.6-1 and Impact 4.6-3) MM4.6-2 Prior to issuance of grading permits for future development projects in the Transit Zoning Code (SD 84A and SD 84B) area, applicants shall submit site-specific Hydrology and Hydraulic Studies to the Public Works Department for review and approval. If existing facilities are not adequate to handle runoff that may be generated by the proposed development, then the applicant shall propose feasible remedies to assure that adequate drainage facilities will be available prior to issuance of occupancy permits. The applicant may propose storm drain improvements to be constructed in order to meet project needs. If necessary storm drain upgrades cannot be implemented prior to issuance of occupancy permits, on site detention facilities or other methods acceptable to the City shall be included with new development projects to ensure that post-construction runoff does not exceed pre-development quantities. (Impact 4.6-4) MM4.6-3 During the design of individual projects, applicants shall minimize impervious area by incorporating landscaped areas over substantial portions of a proposed project area. Furthermore, impervious areas shall be directly connected to landscaped areas or bioretention facilities to promote filtration and infiltration of stormwater. (Impact 4.6-4) MM4.6-4 During the design of individual projects, applicants shall control structural source through storm drain stenciling and signage, coverage of trash area to minimize direct precipitation, efficient irrigation to minimize runoff into stormwater conveyance system, slope and channel protection to decrease potentials for erosions of slopes, and use of deep-rooted, drought tolerant plant species for erosion control. (Impact 4.6-4) Project Analysis and Conclusion The City determined that impacts related to within a 100-year flood hazard area, flood inundation area, inundation from the Prado Dam, a seiche, tsunami, or mudflow would have no impacts (DEIR Section 4.6-3). Impacts related to interference with groundwater recharge (Impact 4.5-1), alteration to existing drainage patterns (Impact 4.6-3) and increased downstream flooding (Impact 4.6-4) were less than significant with the implementation of mitigation measures. The proposed adoption of the text regulations identified in Table 1 – Current and Proposed Text Regulations would not require preparation of specific development projects, introduce new land uses nor increase the intensity the existing uses. The new regulations would require liquid or   Planning Commission 1 – 110 3/6/2025       City Council 24 – 514 6/3/2025 January 2025 36 Environmental Analysis solid wastes discharged from future development projects be properly treated and would therefore not pollute or contaminate any water courses or groundwater. Any future development within the TZC area requiring discretionary action would continue to be subject to a project-level CEQA review at the time an application is filed for an individual project. Mitigation measures MM4.6-1 through MM4.6-4 would continue to apply. Therefore, the project does not trigger new hydrology and water quality impacts requiring the preparation of a subsequent or supplemental EIR. In addition, compliance with the existing regulations and proposed amendments will assure that potential impacts are not exacerbated. Therefore, there would be no new or more severe significant impacts to hydrology and water quality. 5.7 LAND USE This section analyzes the effects on land use from implementing the proposed zoning code regulations. Would the project: a. Introduce new land uses that would result in conflicts of use? b. Physically divide an established community? c. Conflict with any applicable land use plan, policy, or regulation of an agency with jurisdiction over the project (including, but not limited to the general plan, specific plan, local coastal program, or zoning ordinance) adopted for the purpose of avoiding or mitigating an environmental effect.? d. Conflict with any applicable habitat conservation plan or natural community conservation plan? TZC EIR Conclusions • The Transit Zoning Code (SD 84A and SD 84B) area is not located within either a natural community plan or applicable habitat conservation plan. The Transit Zoning Code (SD 84A and SD 84B) area does not contain any critical or sensitive habitat. (DEIR Section 4.6.3: Effects Found to Have No Impact) • The Transit Zoning Code (SD 84A and SD 84B) would not result in conflicts of use. (Impact 4.7-1: Less Than Significant without mitigation) • The proposed Transit Zoning Code (SD 84A and SD 84B) would not physically divide an established community. (Impact 4.7-2: Less Than Significant without mitigation) • The proposed Transit Zoning Code (SD 84A and SD 84B) would conflict with the Santa Ana General Plan by adopting standards and land uses not currently allowed within the proposed Transit Zoning Code (SD 84A and SD 84B) area; however, as part of the proposed project, the General Plan would be amended to incorporate the proposed land uses and development standards. (Impact 4.7-3: Less Than Significant without mitigation) TZC EIR Mitigation Measures All impacts were below the level of significance and mitigation measures are not necessary nor recommended.   Planning Commission 1 – 111 3/6/2025       City Council 24 – 515 6/3/2025 January 2025 37 Environmental Analysis Project Analysis and Conclusion The City determined that impacts related to conflicts with a natural community plan or applicable habitat conservation plan would have no impacts (DEIR Section 4.6.3: Effects Found to Have No Impact). Impacts related to incompatible land uses (Impact 4.7-1), potential to divide an established community (Impact 4.7-2), and conflicts with the Santa Ana General Plan (Impact 4.7-3) were below the level of significance and did not require mitigation. The proposed zoning ordinance amendments are consistent with various goals and policies of the Santa Ana General Plan, as required by Government Code Section 65860, by timely addressing current inconsistencies within an area of the City prioritized for addressing environmental justice and impacts were found to be less than significant. In effect, the amendments are necessary to address numerous policies of the General Plan that the current TZC is found to be inconsistent with, that without such amendments, will continue the path of irreconcilable land use patterns within the TZC area. Specifically, these policies include Policy LU-1.1 (Compatible Uses), Policy LU-2.4 (Cost and Benefit of Development), Policy LU-3.8 (Sensitive Receptors), Policy LU-3.9 (Noxious, Hazardous, Dangerous, and Polluting Uses), Policy LU-3.11 (Air Pollution Buffers), Policy LU-4.3 (Sustainable Land Use Strategies), Policy LU-4.6 (Healthy Living Conditions), Policy CM-3.2 (Healthy Neighborhoods), Policy EP-1.9 (Avoid Conflict of Uses), Policy EP-3.3 (Mitigate Impacts), Policy CN-1.5 (Sensitive Receptor Decisions), Policy CM-3.2 (Healthy Neighborhoods), and Policy HE-5.5 (Community Development), which are targeted at correcting past land use planning practices that have placed an unequitable environmental and health burden on certain neighborhoods now termed disadvantaged communities. The proposed amendments support these goals and policies by: • Fostering the compatibility between residential and nonresidential land uses within the TZC to enhance livability and promote healthier lifestyles. • Resolving the conflict of industrial land uses and sensitive receptors being in close proximity to each other that pose health hazards by eliminating an overlay zone that promulgated continuation of industrial uses without recourse. • Improving the health of the existing and future residents of the TZC by regulating the operations of noxious, hazardous, dangerous, and polluting uses by giving priority to the discontinuance of those uses. • Responding to overarching EJ policies to develop and implement land use and zoning strategies to separate existing sensitive uses from heave industrial facilities and emission sources. • Continuing to support the creation of healthy neighborhoods by addressing land use conflicts and incompatible uses through the elimination of the I-OZ zone and associated industrial land use types from the list of allowable land uses within the TZC. • Developing and adopting new regulations to address facilities that emit high levels increased pollution near sensitive receptors within EJ (Environmental Justice) area boundaries, which includes areas of the TZC. • Avoiding potential land use conflicts in the future by prohibiting the location of noxious land uses in proximity to sensitive receptors • Creating a sustainable land use plan for the area that phases out land uses that are causing a substantial drain on City and other public agency resources in addressing the impacts from irreconcilable land use conflicts in the TZC area.   Planning Commission 1 – 112 3/6/2025       City Council 24 – 516 6/3/2025 January 2025 38 Environmental Analysis Additionally, the proposed amendments implement and/or contribute to achieving the following specific action programs of the General Plan, most particularly directly addressing LU3.3 through discontinuing nonconforming industrial uses through amortization: LU1.1 - Development Code Update. Prepare a comprehensive update to the zoning code to ensure that the City’s zoning regulations align with the General Plan’s goals and policies. Update the Metro East Mixed-Use Overlay District to remove the portion within the 17th Street and Grand Avenue Focus Area. Update the Midtown Specific Plan. LU3.3 - Healthy lifestyles. Collaborate with residents and industry stakeholders to create a program to incentivize and amortize the removal of existing heavy industrial uses adjacent to sensitive uses. CN1.4 - Health risk criteria. Establish criteria for requiring health risk assessments for existing and new industries, including the type of business, thresholds, and scope of assessment. Review existing and establish new regulation to reduce and avoid increased pollution near sensitive receptors within environmental justice area boundaries. CN1.7 - Truck idling. Evaluate strategies to reduce truck idling found or reported in areas with sensitive receptors, with a priority placed on environmental justice areas. CN1.11 - Public education. Augment existing outreach programs to improve public awareness of State, regional and local agencies’ roles and resources to identify, monitor, and address air quality and other environmental hazards in the community. HE5.C – Healthy Neighborhoods Initiatives. Update the City’s zoning code development and operational standards for industrial zones to address incompatibility with adjacent uses, including minimum distance requirements to buffer heavy industrial uses from sensitive receptors. Conduct a study to evaluate and establish appropriate minimum distances and landscape buffers between polluting industrial uses from sensitive receptors such as residences. HE44.A – Fair Housing. Ensure all City programs and activities relating to housing and community development are administered in a manner that affirmatively furthers fair housing. Implementation of the proposed adoption of the text regulations identified in Table 1 – Current and Proposed Text Regulations does not trigger new land use impacts that might otherwise occur with a development project requiring preparation of a supplemental or subsequent EIR. The new regulations would provide that any nonconforming business that operates in an unlawful manner, including but not limited to, frequent code violations, police calls, or loitering complaints, or is not in good standing with the City, including, but limited to constant service calls or lapses in Business License renewal, will lose its nonconforming status, enabling the City to take corrective action as it deems appropriate, including business license revocation or terminating utility services or connections. For the purposes of this section, “frequent” is defined as more than one violation, call, or complaint per month during any twelve month period, and “constant service calls” is defined as more than one service call per month during any twelve (12) month period. Thus, the project would not physically divide an established community, or conflict with any land use plan, policy, or regulation adopted for the purpose of avoiding or mitigating an environmental impact. In addition, compliance with the existing regulations and proposed amendments will assure that potential impacts are not exacerbated. Therefore, the project does not trigger new land use impacts requiring the preparation of a subsequent or supplemental EIR. There would be no new or more severe significant impacts to land use.   Planning Commission 1 – 113 3/6/2025       City Council 24 – 517 6/3/2025 January 2025 39 Environmental Analysis 5.8 NOISE This section analyzes the effects to noise from implementing the proposed zoning code regulations. Would the project: a. Expose persons to or generate noise levels in excess of standards established in the local general plan or noise ordinance, or applicable standards of other agencies? b. Expose persons to or generate excessive groundborne vibration or groundborne noise levels? c. Cause a substantial permanent increase in ambient noise levels in the project vicinity above levels existing without the project? d. Cause a substantial temporary or periodic increase in ambient noise levels in the project vicinity above levels existing without the project? TZC EIR Conclusions • The project is not located within an airport land use plan or within 2 miles of a public airport or public use airport. (DEIR Section 4.8.3: Effects Found to Have No Impact) • Construction activities associated with the proposed project would generate noise levels that exceed the noise standards established by the City of Santa Ana Municipal Code. (Impact 4.8-1: Less Than Significant with mitigation) • Operation of the proposed project could expose noise-sensitive land uses to noise levels that exceed the standards established by the City of Santa Ana General Plan. (Impact 4.8-2: Less Than Significant with mitigation) • Operation of the proposed project would not expose sensitive receptors on or off site to excessive groundborne vibration or groundborne noise levels, (Impact 4.8-3: Less Than Significant without mitigation) • Occupants of the proposed residential units would not be exposed to potentially significant vibration levels. (Impact 4.8-4: Less Than Significant without mitigation) • Physical impact from an increase in ambient noise levels could occur from the construction activities associated with the proposed project, an adverse effect on the nearby residents would not occur. (Impact 4.8-5: Less Than Significant) • No temporary or periodic noise impacts to on- or off-site receptors due to operation of the project. (Impact 4.8-6: Less Than Significant without mitigation) • Operation of the proposed project would not generate increased local traffic volumes that would cause a substantial permanent increase in ambient noise levels in the project vicinity. (Impact 4.8-7: Less Than Significant without mitigation)Operation of the Southern California Regional Rail Authority’s (SCRRA) rail line would potentially expose noise-sensitive land uses located within the Transit Zoning Code (SD 84A and SD 84B) area to noise levels that exceed the standards established by the City of Santa Ana General Plan. (Impact 4.8-8: Significant and Unavoidable and no feasible mitigation) • Construction activities associated with the proposed project would generate or expose persons or structures to excessive groundborne vibration. (Impact 4.8-9: Significant and Unavoidable and no feasible mitigation) TZC EIR Mitigation Measures   Planning Commission 1 – 114 3/6/2025       City Council 24 – 518 6/3/2025 January 2025 40 Environmental Analysis MM4.8-1 All construction activity within the City shall be conducted in accordance with Section 18-314(e) of the City of Santa Ana Municipal Code. (Impact 4.8-1 and Impact 4.8-9) MM4.8-2 Each project applicant shall require by contract specifications that the following construction best management practices (BMPs) be implemented by contractors to reduce construction noise levels: Two weeks prior to the commencement of construction, notification must be provided to property owners within 300 feet of a project site disclosing the construction schedule, including the various types of activities that would be occurring throughout the duration of the construction period Ensure that construction equipment is properly muffled according to industry standards and be in good working condition Place noise-generating construction equipment and locate construction staging areas away from sensitive uses, where feasible Schedule high noise-producing activities between the hours of 8:00 A.M. and 5:00 P.M. to minimize disruption on sensitive uses Implement noise attenuation measures, which may include, but are not limited to, temporary noise barriers or noise blankets around stationary construction noise sources Use electric air compressors and similar power tools rather than diesel equipment, where feasible Construction-related equipment, including heavy-duty equipment, motor vehicles, and portable equipment, shall be turned off when not in use for more than 30 minutes Construction hours, allowable workdays, and the phone number of the job superintendent shall be clearly posted at all construction entrances to allow for surrounding owners and residents to contact the job superintendent. If the City or the job superintendent receives a complaint, the superintendent shall investigate, take appropriate corrective action, and report the action taken to the reporting party. Contract specifications shall be included in the proposed project construction documents, which shall be reviewed by the City prior to issuance of a grading permit. (Impact 4.8-1) MM4.8-3 Each project applicant shall require by contract specifications that construction staging areas along with the operation of earthmoving equipment within the project area would be located as far away from vibration and noise sensitive sites as possible. Contract specifications shall be included in the proposed project construction documents, which shall be reviewed by the City prior to issuance of a grading permit. (Impact 4.8-1 and Impact 4.8-9) MM4.8-4 Each project applicant shall require by contract specifications that heavily loaded trucks used during construction would be routed away from residential streets. Contract specifications shall be included in the proposed project construction documents, which shall be reviewed by the City prior to issuance of a grading permit. (Impact 4.8-1 and Impact 4.8-9) MM4.8-5 When residential uses would be located in areas with noise levels in excess of 60 dBA CNEL (either through conversion of use/structure or new construction), the project applicant shall provide noise barriers around private open space areas, including patios and balconies, as necessary. The height and density of the barriers shall be sufficient to reduce the exterior noise levels within private open space areas to a CNEL of 65 dBA or less. (Impact 4.8-2)   Planning Commission 1 – 115 3/6/2025       City Council 24 – 519 6/3/2025 January 2025 41 Environmental Analysis MM4.8-6 Prior to issuance of building permits, building plans shall specify the STC rating of windows and doors for all residential land uses. Window and door ratings shall be sufficient to reduce the interior noise level to a CNEL of 45 dBA or less, and shall be determined by a qualified acoustical consultant as part of the final engineering design of the project. (Impact 4.8- 2) MM4.8-7 Each project applicant shall provide proper shielding for all new HVAC systems used by the proposed residential and mixed use buildings to achieve an attenuation of 15 dBA at 50 feet from the equipment. (Impact 4.8-2) MM4.8-8 The City shall provide a written statement to each applicant for projects located within 400 feet of the SCRRA tracks that shall be provided for each residential unit and resident, notifying them of potential noise and vibration issues associated with the railroad tracks, including the following: Notice of Disclosure Each owner’s [or renter’s] interest is subject to the fact that trains operate at different times of the day and night on the railway tracks immediately adjacent to a project site; and that by accepting the conveyance of an interest [or lease agreement] in that project, owner [or renter] accepts all impacts generated by the trains. Posting of Notice of Disclosure in each residential unit. Prior to offering the first residential unit for purchase, lease, or rent, the property owner or developer shall post a copy of the Notice of Disclosure in every unit in a conspicuous location. Also, a copy of the Notice of Disclosure shall be included in all materials distributed for the Project, including but not limited to: the prospectus, informational literature, and residential lease and rental agreements. (Impact 4.8-8) Project Analysis and Conclusion The City determined that no impacts related to the proximity public use airport would not result in impacts would result. Impacts related to exposure of sensitive receptors from excessive groundborne vibration (Impact 4.8-3), potentially significant vibration levels (Impact 4.8-4), ambient noise increase (Impact 4.8-5), periodic noise impacts (Impact 4.8-6), and noise from increased traffic volumes (Impact 4.8-7) were below the level of significance and did not require mitigation. Impacts from noise levels exceeding City noise standards (Impact 4.8-1) and exposure to noise-sensitive land uses (Impact 4.8-2) were less than significant with the implementation of mitigation measures. Impacts causing groundborne vibration and development exposure near the Southern California Regional Rail Authority’s (SCRRA) rail line (Impact 4.8-8) and construction activities from project implementation (Impact 4.8-9) were found to be significant and unavoidable. Specific economic, social, or other considerations make infeasible additional mitigation. Specifically, no additional feasible mitigation measures exist that would avoid or substantially reduce these impacts. The proposed adoption of the text regulations identified in Table 1 – Current and Proposed Text Regulations would not require preparation of a supplemental or subsequent EIR because specific development projects are neither included nor required. The new regulations would limit daily operations times and days of week, and maximum noise that could be generated from existing uses. No industrial use shall generate ground vibration perceptible without instruments at any point along the property line of the site except for motor vehicle operations. No vibration shall be produced that is transmitted through the ground and is discernible without the aid of instruments by a reasonable person at the property lines of the site. Vibrations from temporary construction, demolition, and vehicles that enter and leave the subject parcel are exempt from this standard.   Planning Commission 1 – 116 3/6/2025       City Council 24 – 520 6/3/2025 January 2025 42 Environmental Analysis Any future development within the TZC area requiring discretionary action would continue to be subject to a project-level CEQA review at the time an application is filed for an individual project. Mitigation measures MM4.8-1 through MM4.8-8 would continue to apply. In addition, compliance with the existing regulations and proposed amendments will assure that potential impacts are not exacerbated. This will result in a beneficial impact. Therefore, the existing less than significant and significant and unavoidable noise impacts would not result in new or different impacts. 5.9 POPULATION, HOUSING AND EMPLOYMENT This section analyzes the effects to population, housing and employment from implementing the proposed zoning code regulations. Would the project: a. Induce substantial unplanned population growth in an area, either directly (for example, by proposing new homes and businesses) or indirectly (for example, through extension of roads or other infrastructure)? b. Displace substantial numbers of existing housing, necessitating the construction of replacement housing elsewhere? c. Displace substantial numbers of people, necessitating the construction of replacement housing elsewhere? TZC EIR Conclusions • Implementation of the proposed project would accommodate projected population and housing growth. (Impact 4.9-1: Less Than Significant without mitigation) • Construction of development projects pursuant to the Transit Zoning Code (SD 84A and SD 84B) could displace existing people or housing. However, this displacement would not necessitate the construction of additional replacement housing elsewhere. (Impact 4.9-2: Less Than Significant without mitigation) TZC EIR Mitigation Measures All impacts were below the level of significance and mitigation measures are not necessary nor recommended. Project Analysis and Conclusion The City determined that impacts related to accommodating population and housing growth Impact 4.9-1) and displacement of existing housing (Impact 4.9-2) were below the level of significance and did not require mitigation. Any future development within the TZC area requiring discretionary action would continue to be subject to a project-level CEQA review at the time an application is filed for an individual project. The proposed adoption of the text regulations identified in Table 1 – Current and Proposed Text Regulations would not require development of housing units. The new regulations would provide architectural standards to any future development that would regulate the manner in which individual parcels and blocks are developed to create diverse and pedestrian-oriented development that would be consistent with the TZC area. In addition, there shall be no increase in the number of dwelling units unless the site on which the structure is   Planning Commission 1 – 117 3/6/2025       City Council 24 – 521 6/3/2025 January 2025 43 Environmental Analysis located complies with the off-street parking and open space requirements of the SAMC. Therefore, the existing less than significant population, housing and employment impacts would not result in new or different impacts nor would it increase unplanned growth and does not trigger new population and housing impacts requiring the preparation of a subsequent or supplemental EIR. 5.10 PUBLIC SERVICES This section analyzes the effects to public services and recreational and park facilities from implementing the proposed zoning code regulations. Would the project: a. Result in substantial adverse physical impacts associated with the provision of new or physically altered governmental facilities, or the need for new or physically altered governmental facilities, the construction of which could cause significant environmental impacts, in order to maintain acceptable service ratios, response times or other performance objectives for fire protection? b. Result in substantial adverse physical impacts associated with the provision of new or physically altered governmental facilities, or the need for new or physically altered governmental facilities, the construction of which could cause significant environmental impacts, in order to maintain acceptable service ratios, response times or other performance objectives for police protection? c. Result in substantial adverse physical impacts associated with the provision of new or physically altered governmental facilities, or the need for new or physically altered governmental facilities, the construction of which could cause significant environmental impacts, in order to maintain acceptable service ratios, response times or other performance objectives for schools? d. Result in substantial adverse physical impacts associated with the provision of new or physically altered governmental facilities, or the need for new or physically altered governmental facilities, the construction of which could cause significant environmental impacts, in order to maintain acceptable service ratios, response times or other performance objectives for library services? e. Result in substantial adverse physical impacts associated with the provision of new or physically altered governmental facilities, or the need for new or physically altered governmental facilities, the construction of which could cause significant environmental impacts, in order to maintain acceptable service ratios, response times or other performance objectives for park services? TZC EIR Conclusions • Construction of new projects pursuant to the Transit Zoning Code (SD 84A and SD 84B) would increase the demand for fire protection services, but it would not require the construction of new or physically altered facilities to accommodate the increased demand or maintain acceptable response times. (Impact 4.10-1: Less Than Significant with mitigation) • Operation of the proposed project would increase the demand for police services, thereby requiring additional staffing, although it would not require the construction of new or physically altered facilities or personnel to accommodate the increased demand. (Impact 4.10-2: Less Than Significant with mitigation) • Construction of new residential units within the project area would generate new students that could require the addition of new classroom facilities, thereby requiring   Planning Commission 1 – 118 3/6/2025       City Council 24 – 522 6/3/2025 January 2025 44 Environmental Analysis new or physically altered facilities to accommodate additional students in Santa Ana Unified School District (SAUSD) schools. (Impact 4.10-3: Less Than Significant) • Construction of new residential units within the project area would generate new library users that could require the addition of new library facilities. (Impact 4.10-4: Less Than Significant without mitigation) • All properties identified as having new development potential to be built out pursuant to the provisions of the Transit Zoning Code (SD 84A and SD 84B) these new projects would generate a need for new or physically altered park facilities in order to maintain acceptable service ratios. (Impact 4.10-5: Less Than Significant without mitigation) TZC EIR Mitigation Measures MM4.10-1 Prior to an issuance of a building permit, individual projects in the Transit Zoning Code (SD 84A and SD 84B) area shall perform a water supply, fire flow test and fire protection system design analysis to ensure that proposed projects are in accordance to meet standard fire protection design requirements. (Impact 4.10-1) MM4.10-2 Any development that would exceed two stories in height shall submit site-specific security plans to the SAPD for review prior to issuance of a building permit. (Impact 4.10-2) MM4.10-3 No developer within the Transit Zoning Code (SD 84A and SD 84B) boundaries shall utilize a frequency of 800 MHz, which is reserved for emergency services. (Impact 4.10-2) MM4.10-4 Individual project developers shall pay school impact fees prior to the issuance of occupancy permits. (Impact 4.10-3) MM4.10-5 Prior to issuance of a building permit for a residential development project, or change of use from non-residential to residential within the Transit Zoning Code (SD 84A and SD 84B) area, project applicants shall pay to the City of Santa Ana the Park Acquisition and Development Fee. (Impact 4.10-5) Project Analysis and Conclusion The City determined that impacts related to the provision of library services (Impact 4.10-4) and recreation park facilities (Impact 4.10-5) were below the level of significance and did not require mitigation. Impacts related to fire services (Impact 4.10-1), Police services (Impact 4.10-2) and generation of new school children (Impact 4.10-3) were less than significant with the implementation of mitigation measures. Any future development within the TZC area requiring discretionary action would continue to be subject to a project-level CEQA review at the time an application is filed for an individual project. Mitigation measures MM4.10-1 through MM4.10-5 would continue to apply. The proposed adoption of the text regulations identified in Table 1 – Current and Proposed Text Regulations would not require preparation of a supplemental or subsequent EIR because specific development projects are neither included nor required. In addition, compliance with the existing regulations and proposed amendments will assure that potential impacts are not exacerbated, which will result in a beneficial impact to public services. Therefore, the existing less than significant and significant and public services impacts would not result in new or different impacts. 5.11 TRANSPORTATION   Planning Commission 1 – 119 3/6/2025       City Council 24 – 523 6/3/2025 January 2025 45 Environmental Analysis This section analyzes the effects on transportation from implementing the proposed zoning code regulations. Would the project: a. Cause an increase in traffic which is substantial in relation to the existing traffic load and capacity of the street system (i.e., result in a substantial increase in either the number of vehicle trips, the volume to capacity ratio on roads, or congestion at intersections)? b. Exceed, either individually or cumulatively, a level of service standard established by the county congestion management agency for designated roads or highways? c. Result in a change in air traffic patterns, including either an increase in traffic levels or a change in location that results in substantial safety risks? d. Substantially increase hazards due to a design feature (e.g., sharp curves or dangerous intersections) or incompatible uses (e.g., farm equipment)? e. Result in inadequate emergency access? f. Result in inadequate parking capacity g. Conflict with adopted policies, plans, or programs supporting alternative transportation (e.g., bus turnouts, bicycle racks) TZC EIR Conclusions • Operation of the proposed project would result in impacts related to neighborhood traffic in the adjacent residential areas to the Transit Zoning Code (SD 84A and SD 84B) area. (Impact 4.11-1: Less Than Significant with mitigation) • Long-term cumulative development pursuant to the implementation of the Transit Zoning Code would exceed standards established by the Orange County Transportation Authority within the study area. (Impact 4.11-2: Less Than Significant without mitigation) • Development projects constructed pursuant to the standards contained within the Transit Zoning Code would not result in a change in air traffic patterns. (Impact 4.11-3: Less Than Significant) without mitigation • Development projects constructed pursuant to the Transit Zoning Code would not increase hazards due to a design future or incompatible uses. (Impact 4.11-4: Less Than Significant without mitigation) • Development projects constructed pursuant to the Transit Zoning Code could result in inadequate emergency access. (Impact 4.11-5: Less Than Significant without mitigation) • Long-term cumulative development under the implementation of the Transit Zoning Code would not result in inadequate parking capacity. (Impact 4.11-6: Less Than Significant without mitigation) • The Transit Zoning Code would not conflict with adopted policies, plans, or programs supporting alternative transportation. (Impact 4.11-7: Less Than Significant) • Long-term cumulative development under implementation of the Transit Zoning Code would cause an increase in traffic which is substantial in relation to the existing traffic load and capacity of the street system. (Impact 4.11-8: Less Than Significant with mitigation) • Long-term cumulative development under implementation of the Transit Zoning Code would result in impacts related to freeway ramps in the vicinity of the Transit Zoning   Planning Commission 1 – 120 3/6/2025       City Council 24 – 524 6/3/2025 January 2025 46 Environmental Analysis Code area. (Impact 4.11-9: Less Than Significant with mitigation and Significant and Unavoidable due to a public agency (Caltrans) approval other than the City) TZC EIR Mitigation Measures MM4.11-1 The City of Santa Ana shall, during any roadway improvement within the Transit Zoning Code boundaries, evaluate, consider, and implement as appropriate the traffic calming measure(s), including but not limited to the following: o Curb extensions at local intersections o Short medians at entries to wide streets o Traffic circles at oversized intersections o Speed humps o Turn restrictions (Impact 4.11-1) MM4.11-2 As part of the project, the City of Santa Ana and the project sponsors shall work with the transit providers to implement various transit-related measures to improve and expand bus system service within the Transit Zoning Code (SD 84A and SD 84B) area. These measures may include, but are not limited to, the following: o Adding bus stops to the Transit Zoning Code (SD 84A and SD 84B) area along existing roadways o Changing bus service headways to respond to increased demand o Changing bus service destinations to respond to changing demand o Adding local shuttle service for employees and patrons of the Transit Zoning Code (SD 84A and SD 84B) area o The details of bus service improvements shall be determined in coordination with OCTA. The following recommendations would help encourage public transit patronage for project-related trips: o Bus Stop Locations—Relocation of existing bus stops and the provision of additional bus stops should be considered to accommodate transit users at convenient locations. o Days of Operation—The City should work with OCTA to consider changes to route times to serve nighttime and weekend project visitors and employees. o Headway—The City should work w would be appropriate to reduce them Code (SD 84A and SD 84B) area. MM4.11-3 The City of Santa Ana Public Works Agency shall monitor the traffic signals within the Transit Zoning Code study area once every five years to ensure that traffic signal timing is optimized. (Impact 4.11-8) MM4.11-4 The City of Santa Ana shall institute a program for systematic mitigation of impacts as development proceeds within the Transit Zoning Code to ensure mitigation of the individual improvements. The program shall prescribe the method of participation in the mitigation program by individual projects and guide the timely implementation of the mitigation measures. The program shall include the following elements: A funding and improvement program should be established to identify financial resources adequate to construct all identified mitigation measures in a timely basis. All properties that redevelop within the Transit Zoning Code should participate in the program on a fair share per new development trip basis. The fair share should be based upon the total cost of all identified mitigation measures, divided by the peak hour trip generation increase forecast.   Planning Commission 1 – 121 3/6/2025       City Council 24 – 525 6/3/2025 January 2025 47 Environmental Analysis This rate per peak hour trip should be imposed upon the incremental traffic growth for any new development within the Transitioning Code. The program should raise funds from full development of the Transit Zoning Code to fund all identified mitigation measures. The program should monitor phasing development of the Transit Zoning Code and defer or eliminate improvements if the densities permitted in the Transit Zoning Code are not occurring. Program phasing should be monitored through preparation of specific project traffic impact studies for any project that is expected to include more than 100 dwelling units or 100,000 sf of non-residential development. Traffic impact studies should use traffic generation rates that are deemed to be most appropriate for the actual development proposed. Properties within Santa Ana and within one-half mile of the Transit Zoning Code that redevelop to result in higher traffic generation should also participate in the program to insure equity. The City may elect to implement appropriate mitigation measures as a condition of approval of the proposed developments, where appropriate. All or part of the costs of these improvements may be considered to be a negotiated credit toward the program, however the program must be administered in a manner that assures that it can fund necessary improvements to maintain adequate level of service at all intersections within this study. If funding of priority improvements cannot be assured, credit for construction of lower priority improvements may not be assured or may be postponed until more program funds are available.

The improvement shall be implemented to mitigate 2035 conditions. (Impact 4.11-9) Project Analysis and Conclusion The City determined that impacts related to exceeding standards from the Orange County Transportation Authority (Impact 4.111-2), change in air traffic patterns (Impact 4.11-3), hazards due to a design future or incompatible uses (Impact 4.11-4), inadequate emergency access (Impact 4.11-5), inadequate parking capacity (Impact 4.11-6), and alternative transportation (Impact 4.11-7) were below the level of significance and did not require mitigation. Impacts related to neighborhood traffic (Impact 4.11-1) and traffic increases to the existing traffic load (Impact 4.11-8) were less than significant with the implementation of mitigation measures. Impacts related to development near freeway ramps (Impacts 4.11-9) were found to be significant and unavoidable and that specific economic, social, or other considerations make infeasible additional mitigation. Specifically, no additional feasible mitigation measures exist that would avoid or substantially reduce these impacts. Any future development within the TZC area requiring discretionary action would continue to be subject to a project-level CEQA review at the time an application is filed for an individual project. Mitigation measures MM4.11-1 through MM4.11-16 would continue to apply. The proposed adoption of the text regulations identified in Table 1 – Current and Proposed Text Regulations would not require preparation of a supplemental or subsequent EIR because specific development projects are neither included nor required. The new regulations would provide recharging spaces for electric vehicles. Also, all truck parking areas must be on paved surfaces and the parking, loading or unloading of trucks associated with a business on public streets is prohibited. In addition, compliance with the existing regulations and proposed amendments will assure that potential impacts are not exacerbated. This will result in a beneficial impact to transportation. Therefore, the existing less than significant and significant and unavoidable transportation impacts would not result in new or different impacts. 5.12 UTILITIES AND SERVICE SYSTEMS This section analyzes the effects to utilities and service systems from implementing the proposed zoning code regulations. Would the project:   Planning Commission 1 – 123 3/6/2025       City Council 24 – 527 6/3/2025 January 2025 49 Environmental Analysis a. Require or result in the construction of new water treatment facilities or expansion of existing facilities, the construction of which could cause significant environmental effects? b. Require new or expanded water entitlements and resources if there are not sufficient water supplies available to serve the project from existing entitlements and resources? TZC EIR Conclusions • Long-term cumulative development pursuant to the Transit Zoning Code (SD 84A and SD 84B) would generate an additional demand for water, but would not require water supplies in excess of existing entitlements and resources or result in the need for new or expanded entitlements. (Impact 4.12-1: Less Than Significant without mitigation) • Long-term cumulative development pursuant to the Transit Zoning Code (SD 84A and SD 84B) would not require or result in the construction of new or expanded water treatment facilities, the construction of which could cause significant environmental effects. (Impact 4.12-2: Less Than Significant)without mitigation • Long-term cumulative development pursuant to the Transit Zoning Code (SD 84A and SD 84B) would not exceed wastewater treatment requirements of the Orange County Sanitation District. (Impact 4.12-3: Less Than Significant without mitigation) • Long-term cumulative development pursuant to the Transit Zoning Code (SD 84A and SD 84B) could require the construction of new or expanded wastewater conveyance systems, the construction of which would not cause significant environmental effects. (Impact 4.12-4: Less Than Significant with mitigation) • Long-term cumulative development pursuant to the Transit Zoning Code (SD 84A and SD 84B) would not increase wastewater generation such that treatment facilities would be inadequate to serve the project’s projected demand in addition to the provider’s existing commitments. (Impact 4.12-5: Less Than Significant without mitigation) • Long-term cumulative development pursuant to the Transit Zoning Code would not generate solid waste that exceeds the permitted capacity of landfills serving the area. (Impact 4.12-6: Less Than Significant without mitigation) • Long-term cumulative development under the implementation of the Transit Zoning Code (SD 84A and SD 84B) would comply with all applicable federal, state, and local statutes and regulations related to solid waste. (Impact 4.12-7: Less Than Significant without mitigation) • Long-term cumulative development pursuant to the Transit Zoning Code (SD 84A and SD 84B) would increase the demand for electricity and gas, but would not require or result in the construction of new energy production or transmission facilities, the construction of which could cause a significant environmental impact. (Impact 4.12-8: Less Than Significant without mitigation) TZC EIR Mitigation Measures MM4.12-1 Individual project applicants shall prepare site-specific sewer evaluations, including flow monitoring and modeling, during the project design to determine the adequacy of the existing sewer pipe capacity in the affected project area lines. The evaluation shall be submitted to the City of Santa Ana or OCSD, as appropriate, for review and approval prior to issuance of building permits. Any recommendations made in the site-specific sewer evaluations shall be incorporated into the design of each individual project. (Impact 4.12-4)   Planning Commission 1 – 124 3/6/2025       City Council 24 – 528 6/3/2025 January 2025 50 Environmental Analysis MM4.12-2 Individual non-residential project applicants are encouraged to apply for Southern California Edison’s “Savings By Design” program. The program is aimed at generating an overall reduction in energy use through design methods and incentive programs by maintaining a 15% or greater exceedance of Title 24. (Impact 4.12-8) MM4.12-3 Individual development projects within the boundaries of the Transit Zoning Code (SD 84A and SD 84B) shall implement energy conservation measures (such as energy-efficient lighting and microprocessor controlled HVAC equipment) to reduce the demand for electricity and natural gas as part of the project design. The energy conservation measures shall be subject to modification as new technologies are developed, or if current technology becomes obsolete, through replacement and shall be reviewed by the Planning and Building Agency prior to issuance of a building permit. (Impact 4.12-8) MM4.12-4 Individual development projects within the boundaries of the Transit Zoning Code (SD 84A and SD 84B) shall implement energy conservation measures (such as energy-efficient lighting and microprocessor controlled HVAC equipment) to reduce the demand for electricity and natural gas as part of the project design. The energy conservation measures shall be subject to modification as new technologies are developed, or if current technology becomes obsolete, through replacement and shall be reviewed by the Planning and Building Agency prior to issuance of a building permit. (Impact 4.12-8) Project Analysis and Conclusion The City determined that impacts related to additional water demand (Impact 4.12-1), expanded water treatment facilities (Impact 4.12-2), exceed wastewater treatment requirements (Impact 4.12-3), increase wastewater generation (Impact 4.12-5), generate solid waste exceeding permitted capacity (Impact 4.12-6), and compliance with applicable federal, state, and local solid waste regulations (Impact 4.12-7) were below the level of significance and did not require mitigation. Impacts related to new or expanded wastewater conveyance systems (Impact 4.12- 4) and an increased demand for electricity and gas (Impact 4.12-8) were less than significant with the implementation of mitigation measures. Any future development within the TZC area requiring discretionary action would continue to be subject to a project-level CEQA review at the time an application is filed for an individual project. Mitigation measures MM4.12-1 through MM4.12-4 would continue to apply. The new regulations identified in Table 1 – Current and Proposed Text Regulations would provide any nonconforming business that operates in an unlawful manner, including but not limited to, frequent code violations, police calls, or loitering complaints, or is not in good standing with the City, including, but limited to constant service calls or lapses in Business License renewal, will lose its nonconforming status, enabling the City to take corrective action as it deems appropriate, including business license revocation or terminating utility services or connections. Also, in addition, compliance with the existing regulations and proposed amendments will assure that potential impacts are not exacerbated which will result in a beneficial impact to utilities and service systems. Therefore, the existing less than significant utilities and service systems impacts would not result in new or different impacts requiring the preparation of a subsequent or supplemental EIR. 5.13 GLOBAL CLIMATE CHANGE This section analyzes the effects to global climate change from implementing the proposed zoning code regulations. Would the project:   Planning Commission 1 – 125 3/6/2025       City Council 24 – 529 6/3/2025 January 2025 51 Environmental Analysis a. Generate greenhouse gas emissions, either directly or indirectly, that may have a significant impact on the environment? b. Generate greenhouse gas emissions, conflict with any applicable plan, policy or regulation of an agency adopted for the purpose of reducing the emissions of greenhouse gas? TZC EIR Conclusions • Long-term cumulative development pursuant to the Transit Zoning Code at full build-out would result in significant localized air quality impacts for operational level emissions. As a whole, this impact is significant for operational emissions due to the size of the Transit Zoning Code (SD 84A and SD 84B) area. (Impact 4.13-1: Significant and Unavoidable and no feasible mitigation) • Long-term cumulative development pursuant to the Transit Zoning Code at full build-out has the potential to conflict with AB 32. The Project as a whole is significant for operational emissions due to the size of the Transit Zoning Code (SD 84A and SD 84B) area.

(Impact 4.3-1) MM4.13-9 Prior to issuance of a building permit, applicants for individual projects shall provide a landscape plan that includes shade trees around main buildings, particularly along southern elevations where practical, and will not interfere with loading dock locations or other operational constraints. Documentation of compliance with this measure shall be provided to the Planning and Building Agency for review and approval. (Impact 4.3-1) MM4.13-10 All showerheads, lavatory faucets, and sink faucets within the residential units, and where feasible within non-residential developments, shall comply with the California Energy Conservation flow rate standards. (Impact 4.3-1) MM4.13-11 Low-flush toilets shall be installed within all Congregate Care units as specified in California State Health and Safety Code Section 17921.3. MM4.13-12 Project designers should consider design features to incorporate light-colored roofing materials that will deflect heat away from the building and conserve energy. (Impact 4.3- 1) MM4.13-13 Landscape designers shall ensure that landscaping of common areas for Industrial/Commercial projects uses drought-tolerant and smog-tolerant trees, shrubs, and groundcover to ensure long-term viability and conserve water and energy. (Impact 4.3-1) MM4.13-14 Landscape designers shall ensure that the landscape plan for Industrial/Commercial projects includes drought resistant trees, shrubs, and groundcover within the parking lot and perimeter. (Impact 4.3-1) MM4.13-15 Individual project applicants shall ensure that designs for Industrial/Commercial projects include all illumination elements to have controls to allow selective use as an energy conservation measure. (Impact 4.3-1) MM4.13-16 The applicant for Industrial/Commercial projects should promote ride sharing programs such as, but not necessarily including, publishing ride sharing information for all of   Planning Commission 1 – 127 3/6/2025       City Council 24 – 531 6/3/2025 January 2025 53 Environmental Analysis the tenants, designating a certain percentage of parking spaces for ride sharing vehicles, designating adequate passenger loading and unloading and waiting areas for ride sharing vehicles, and providing a website or message board for coordinating rides. Prior to issuance of a building permit, the applicant shall demonstrate that measures have been included to provide adequate bicycle parking near building entrances to promote cyclist safety, security, and convenience pursuant to SAMC Chapter 41 regarding bicycle parking standards and Chapter 16 of the Santa Ana Citywide Design Guidelines regarding Bikeway Support Facilities Guidelines. Documentation of compliance with this measure shall be provided to the City Building Official for review and approval. Installation of the identified design features or equipment will be confirmed by the City Building Official prior to issuance of certificate of occupancy. (Impact 4.3-1) MM4.13-17 Prior to issuance of any certificate of occupancy, the applicant shall demonstrate that all Multi-family/Industrial/Commercial projects’ interior building lighting supports the use of compact fluorescent light bulbs or equivalently efficient lighting to the satisfaction of the Building Official. (Impact 4.3-1) MM4.13-18 Applicants for Multi-family/Industrial/Commercial projects shall consider providing preferential parking spaces for ultra-low emission vehicles and alternative fueled vehicles to encourage the use of alternative fuels and ultra-low emission vehicles. (Impact 4.3-1) MM4.13-19 Prior to issuance of a building permit, the applicant shall demonstrate that the proposed Multi-family/ Industrial/Commercial uses building or structure designs incorporate exterior storage areas for recyclables and green waste and adequate recycling containers located in public/common areas pursuant to the adopted standards.

In addition, the computerized irrigation system shall also consider the ability to be equipped with flow-sensing capabilities, thus automatically shutting down the irrigation system in the event of a mainline break or broken head. These features will assist in conserving water, eliminating the potential of slope failure due to mainline breaks, and eliminating over-watering and flooding due to pipe and/or head breaks. (Impact 4.3-1) MM4.13-21 Consideration of installation of solar roofs on homes and businesses to offset the increasing demand for energy and natural gas. (Impact 4.3-1) MM4.13-22 Project applicants shall, where feasible, incorporate passive solar design features into the buildings, which may include roof overhangs or canopies that block summer shade, but that allow winter sun, from penetrating south facing windows.

(Impact 4.3-1) MM4.13-24 All commercial/industrial projects shall, where feasible, include up to 10% renewable energy sources within the project. (Impact 4.3-1)   Planning Commission 1 – 128 3/6/2025       City Council 24 – 532 6/3/2025 January 2025 54 Environmental Analysis MM4.13-1 through MM4.13-24 would also apply to this impact. (Impact 4.3-2) Project Analysis and Conclusion The City determined that long-term development related to localized air quality impacts from operational emissions (Impact 4.13-1) and operational emissions due to the size of the TZC area with the potential to conflict with AB 32 (Impact 4.13-2) were found to be significant and unavoidable and that specific economic, social, or other considerations make infeasible additional mitigation. Specifically, no additional feasible mitigation measures exist that would avoid or substantially reduce these impacts. Any future development within the TZC area requiring discretionary action would continue to be subject to a project-level CEQA review at the time an application is filed for an individual project Mitigation measures MM 4.13-1 through MM4.13.24 would continue to apply. The new regulations in Table 1 – Current and Proposed Text Regulations would provide that no land use shall generate or cause any visible dust, gases, or smoke to be emitted into the atmosphere and that uses, activities, and processes shall not operate in a manner that emits dust, fumes, odors, smoke, or particulate matter, unless authorized under Federal, State, or local law. This will result in a beneficial impact to climate change/greenhouse gas emissions. Therefore, the existing significant and unavoidable global climate change impacts would not result in new or different impacts requiring the preparation of a subsequent or supplemental EIR. 5.14 MANDATORY FINDINGS OF SIGNIFICANCE Would the project: a. Does the project have the potential to substantially degrade the quality of the environment, substantially reduce the habitat of a fish or wildlife species, cause a fish or wildlife population to drop below self-sustaining levels, threaten to eliminate a plant or animal community, reduce the number or restrict the range of a rare or endangered plant or animal or eliminate important examples of the major periods of California history or prehistory? b. Does the project have potential to achieve short-term environmental goals to the disadvantage of long-term environmental goals? c. Does the project have impacts that are individually limited, but cumulatively considerable? (“Cumulatively considerable” means that the incremental effects of a project are considerable when viewed in connection with the effects of past projects, the effects of other current projects, and the effects of probable future projects)? d. Does the project have environmental effects which will cause substantial adverse effects on human beings, either directly or indirectly? As detailed herein, on the basis of substantial evidence in the light of the whole record, a Subsequent or Supplemental EIR is not appropriate for the project because none of the criteria permitting such a document under State CEQA Guidelines section 15162 are met. Project implementation does not include nor require implementation of specific development projects. The majority of the City is urbanized, with residential and nonresidential development, and mobility and public facilities all contributing to Santa Ana’s existing built environment. The proposed text amendments to SAMC Sections 41-2001, 41-2001.5, 41-2002, 41-2004, 41- 2005, 41-2006, 41-2008, 41-2009, and 41-2008 would merely update to clarify that the   Planning Commission 1 – 129 3/6/2025       City Council 24 – 533 6/3/2025 January 2025 55 Environmental Analysis regulations apply to existing uses, further limit some rehabilitation of existing buildings and structures, clarify the effects of amendments to the TZC, further limit certain existing operations to ensure greater compatibility between residential and non-residential land uses, and to establish regulations for operation of any existing, legally established, nonconforming industrial uses. Section 41-2001.5 is updated to encompass new SAMC Section 21-2009, which establishes regulations for operation of any existing, legally established, nonconforming industrial use. Section 41-2004 deletes the Overlay I-OZ zone from the text and map. Implementation of these SAMC amendments would not require implementation of any specific developments or direct physical changes to the environment, and therefore would not be in conflict with the GPU and no intensification of land uses would result. The City of Santa Ana, which includes the TZC area, is not within a NCCP/HCP area, and therefore would not conflict with an adopted NCCP/HCP plan. No direct or indirect substantial adverse effects on human beings would occur. 5.15 CONCLUSION This project proposes amendments to the Transit Zoning Code (SD-84) by way of ZOA No. 2024-02 and AA No. 2024-03. These proposed amendments would modify the list of land uses and permit types including the deletion of industrial land uses; amend nonconforming regulations including the addition of an amortization process; amend and add operational standards for allowed uses and nonconforming uses; delete the Industrial Overlay (I-OZ) zone from text and maps; and delete the M1 (Light Industrial) and M2 (Heavy Industrial) suffixes from certain properties within the SD-84 Zoning District boundary as designated on the City of Santa Ana Zoning Map. Refer to Section 3.0 – Description of the Proposed Project. This project would not result in new or more severe environmental impacts than previously addressed in the TZC FEIR, nor has any new information regarding the potential for new or more severe significant environmental impacts have been identified because the project basically limits industrial uses and would not lead to the expansion or intensification of new, expanded or more intensive uses. Therefore, there will be no new or more severe impacts as the result of the implementation of this project, beyond the impacts that have already been analyzed in the TZC FEIR. In taking action on any of the approvals, the decision-making body of the lead agency must consider the whole of the data presented in the TZC FEIR. As outlined in this Addendum analysis, all impacts of the project were fully examined in the TZC FEIR, and the proposed changes do not require substantial changes to the prior-certified EIR or previously adopted mitigation measures. Therefore, the preparation of an Addendum to the existing certified EIR is the appropriate CEQA document to support the City’s consideration of the project, as outlined in CEQA Guidelines Sections 15162 and 15164.   Planning Commission 1 – 130 3/6/2025       City Council 24 – 534 6/3/2025 Planning and Building Agency www.santa-ana.org/pb Item # 1 City of Santa Ana 20 Civic Center Plaza, Santa Ana, CA 92701 Planning Commission Staff Report February 24, 2025 Topic: Resolution to make findings and adopt Addendum to the Transit Zoning Code Environmental Impact Report (State Clearinghouse Number No. 2006071100), Zoning Ordinance Amendment (ZOA) No. 2024-02 and Amendment Application (AA) No. 2024- 03 amending certain sections of Article XIX (The Transit Zoning Code, Specific Development No. 84) of Chapter 41 (Zoning) of the Santa Ana Municipal Code (SAMC) addressing industrial land uses, nonconformities, and operating standards, and amending the City of Santa Ana Zoning Map to remove the Light Industrial (M1) and Heavy Industrial (M2) suffixes from certain properties within the SD-84 district boundary.

Exhibit 6: February 24, 2025 Planning Commission Staff Report (without attachments)_____________________________________________________________________   Planning Commission 1 – 131 3/6/2025       City Council 24 – 535 6/3/2025 ZOA No. 2024-02 & AA No. 2024-03 (Transit Zoning Code Amendments) February 24, 2025 Page 2 3 3 6 7 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY On April 16, 2024, the City Council adopted a 45-day moratorium on the approval, commencement, establishment, relocation, or expansion of industrial uses within the Transit Zoning Code/Specific Development (SD) No. 84 Zoning District through adoption of Urgency Interim Ordinance No. NS-3063. The purpose of the moratorium was to immediately offer protection of public health, safety, and welfare from industrial uses significantly causing pollution burden to adjacent residential neighborhoods within the SD- 84 Zoning District. On May 7, 2024, the City Council issued a report to the public, pursuant to Section 65858(d) of the California Government Code, describing the City’s measures to alleviate conditions that led to the adoption of the moratorium. On May 21, 2024, the City Council adopted Ordinance No. NS-3064 to extend the moratorium for an additional ten (10) months and fifteen (15) days pursuant to the Government Code as necessary to provide sufficient time for staff to continue with data tracking and reporting, research appropriate regulations, and coordinate with outside regulatory agencies and City departments to determine whether further, permanent action is necessary and to generate recommendations to the Planning Commission and City Council. Based upon this City Council direction, and the research and analysis of the issues herein, staff has prepared Ordinances amending certain sections of Chapter 41 (Zoning) of the Santa Ana Municipal Code (SAMC), Article XIX. The Transit Zoning Code/Specific Development (SD) No. 84 Zoning District. The first Ordinance proposes amendments that would modify the list of land uses and permit types, including the deletion of industrial land uses; amend nonconforming regulations, including the addition of an amortization process/termination of use process; amend and add operational standards for allowed uses and nonconforming uses; and delete the Industrial Overlay (I-OZ) zone from text and maps. The second Ordinance deletes the M1 (Light Industrial) and M2 (Heavy Industrial) suffixes from certain properties within the SD-84 Zoning District boundary as designated on the City of Santa Ana Zoning Map. DISCUSSION The Transit Zoning Code/Specific Development No. 84 The Specific Development (SD) No. 84 Zoning District, also known as the Transit Zoning Code (TZC), is located in the central urban core of the City and comprises over 100 blocks and 450 acres. The TZC includes the Civic Center, Downtown, and the Logan and Lacy neighborhoods, which are among the City’s most historic in age and as established residential communities. The TZC is generally bounded by First Street, Flower Street, Civic Center Drive, Grand Avenue, and the Santa Ana (I-5) Freeway. Prior to the implementation of the TZC, the area consisted of a wide range of civic, commercial, industrial, and residential land uses regulated by varying zoning districts. In June 2010, the City Council adopted Ordinance No. NS-2804, creating the TZC, which purpose was to establish a transit-supportive, pedestrian-oriented development framework to support the addition of new transit infrastructure; preserve and reinforce the   Planning Commission 1 – 132 3/6/2025       City Council 24 – 536 6/3/2025 ZOA No. 2024-02 & AA No. 2024-03 (Transit Zoning Code Amendments) February 24, 2025 Page 3 3 3 6 7 existing character and pedestrian nature of the City by strengthening urban form through improved development and design standards; encourage alternative modes of transportation; provide for a range of housing options; and allow for the reuse of existing structures. In July 2019, the City Council adopted Ordinance No. NS-2970, amending the TZC to modify certain design criteria regulating height, massing, open space location, driveway standards, lot dimensions, and parking alternatives. The amendment did not include changes to land uses or permit types within the TZC. When originally adopted, the TZC provided new zoning for all properties contained within its boundary. However, some properties with existing M1 and M2 zoning and/or exiting industrial businesses, also received an overlay district designation which allowed for the continuation of industrial land uses on those properties. The development of mixed-use on these properties consistent with the new zoning they received as part of the TZC adoption is at the discretion of the property owner. In support of the TZC, the City Council also approved a General Plan amendment, establishing numerous mixed-use General Plan land use designations for the entirety of the TZC. However, due to the continued application of the industrial overlay zones within the TZC, the implementation of the new General Plan land use designations immediately resulted in zoning inconsistencies and land use conflicts with the new General Plan. Since establishment of the TZC, and specifically in the Logan and Lacy neighborhoods, industrial uses have remained, changed ownership, undergone expansions or intensifications, and have continued to create numerous land use conflicts and disturbances that affect surrounding residential communities. Specifically, in the Logan neighborhood alone, these land uses create quality of life, health and safety, and other trespass issues for residential properties that often directly abut these industrial land uses. These issues include odors, dust, traffic, noise, vibrations, and other documented impacts that have taken place for nearly a decade and a half despite the change to the new General Plan land use designations. Historically Disadvantaged Communities and Senate Bill (SB) 1000 Prior to the adoption of the TZC, the City permitted industrial uses within the Logan and Lacy neighborhoods in close proximity to sensitive land uses such as residences and schools. The Logan neighborhood represents one of Orange County’s oldest barrios, established as early as 1886, and was one of the few areas where Mexicans and those of Mexican descent could purchase land due to racially restrictive covenants during the first half of the 20th century. Further, as a neighborhood, the area was established before the modern practice of separating or regulating impactful land uses, also known as zoning. The Logan neighborhood itself was largely settled by 1900, before the practice of zoning was enshrined by Village of Euclid v. Ambler Realty Co. in 1926. By that time, the neighborhood contained a mix of residential, industrial, commercial, and related land uses, in some cases side-by-side, with issues further exacerbated by rail lines, fuel storage depots, and the construction of the Santa Ana Freeway (I-5) between 1947 and 1956.   Planning Commission 1 – 133 3/6/2025       City Council 24 – 537 6/3/2025 ZOA No. 2024-02 & AA No. 2024-03 (Transit Zoning Code Amendments) February 24, 2025 Page 4 3 3 6 7 Comprehensive data analysis and mapping tools generated by the Office of Environmental Health Hazard Assessment (OEHHA) and California Environmental Protection Agency (CalEPA), the Center for Diseases Control/Agency for Toxic Substances and Disease Registry (CDC/ATSDR), the United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), and California Healthy Places Index (HPI) reveal concerning information regarding environmental conditions impacting residents in the Logan and Lacy neighborhoods. Recent CalEnviroScreen 4.0 data confirms that these neighborhoods rank at 90 percent or above among California’s most pollution-burdened communities, with Environmental Justice (EJ) maps showing higher exposure to Particulate Matter (PM) 2.5, Air Toxics Cancer Risk, Hazardous Waste Proximity, Diesel Particulate Matter, and Toxic Releases to Air. This information is included as Exhibit 4 to this staff report. These multiple sources of environmental exposure and pollution burden communities of color, including the Logan and Lacy neighborhoods, present an alarming set of challenges that affect residents’ quality of life and life expectancy with continued heavy industrial uses nearby. Senate Bill (SB) 1000 went into effect in 2016, requiring local governments to address pollution and other hazards that disproportionately impact low-income and communities of color within their jurisdiction to proactively plan for and address environmental concerns when developing and updating components of the General Plan. The City and community worked to ensure that the new General Plan included SB 1000 requirements of addressing EJ through facilitating transparency and public engagement in the planning and decision-making processes, reducing harmful pollutants and the associated health risks in disadvantaged communities, and promoting equitable access to health-inducing benefits such as healthy housing options. Of note, the City’s new General Plan mixed- use land use designations in the TZC area were largely left intact, including those in the Lacy and Logan neighborhoods, when the General Plan Update was adopted in 2022. Environmental Justice/Disadvantaged Communities (DACs) Profile: Logan and Lacy Neighborhood Impacts For the Logan and Lacy neighborhoods, incompatible land uses allowed from past zoning decisions, including the industrial overlay zones, have perpetuated the practices of locating industrial uses or other noxious and unwanted uses near communities of color. The Logan and Lacy neighborhoods have a population of 5,907 within 1,564 households, a median household income of $56,864, average household size of nearly four persons, median age 27 years, and per-capita income of $23,495. Seventy-four percent are renter- occupied units based on demographic forecasts for 2023. Nearly 25 percent of the population is under 14 years of age and 14 percent are 55 years of age and older. Nearly three percent of the population attended up to 12th grade with no diploma, over 31 percent   Planning Commission 1 – 134 3/6/2025       City Council 24 – 538 6/3/2025 ZOA No. 2024-02 & AA No. 2024-03 (Transit Zoning Code Amendments) February 24, 2025 Page 5 3 3 6 7 are high school graduates, and nearly 97 percent of the working population over 16 years of age are employed.1 These data illustrate that the Logan and Lacy neighborhoods are within the second and third highest scored census tracts in Santa Ana, each with a composite score of 90 percent or greater, ranking in the 90th percentile or greater of census tracts in the State, and identified as “disadvantaged communities” by the Office of Environmental Health Hazard Assessment (OEHHA) in its CalEnviroScreen model. Failure to address ongoing irreconcilable land use conflicts that are the target of this moratorium will further exacerbate the ongoing demographic and environmental justice challenges that these two neighborhoods within the TZC have grappled with since their founding. Code Enforcement and Immediate Ongoing Issues In the Logan and Lacy neighborhoods within the TZC, the Code Enforcement Division has investigated over 35 commercial and industrial properties in the past 12 months and currently has 16 active open cases that have been issued Notice of Violations and administrative citations for the following types of violations: illegal storage, land use, zoning, property and landscape maintenance, unpermitted work, business license, and certificate of occupancy. These violations include issues of odors, dust, traffic, noise, vibrations, and other documented impacts. The proximity of active open industrial cases during a short period is creating a public nuisance that is harming public health, safety, and general welfare of the two residential neighborhoods from the concentration of open code enforcement cases nearby. Since June 2023, the TZC communities have experienced a marked increase in impacts stemming from the irreconcilable industrial and residential land use conflicts in the Logan and Lacy neighborhoods. Residents in the TZC have voiced and emailed complaints and public health concerns to City staff regarding emitted contaminants and zoning violations from industrial businesses in the neighborhoods. Concerns that range from air pollution and smoke, toxic release exposures, idling trucks on residential streets, lead exposure, illegal storage, unpermitted uses, loud noise at night, and other property maintenance pose an immediate public health threat that is straining public resources to continuously investigate and address these matters. Specifically, a fire incident at a crematory located in the neighborhood alarmed neighbors at 9:18 p.m. on August 29, 2023. Residents shared with City officials’ video of high flames escaping the stack on the rooftop, screeching noise that continued nonstop for ten minutes, and what was described as a foul odor attributed to the fire. As City staff followed up with external regulatory agencies issuing permits to operate this facility, and quickly, staff observed the limitations from regulatory agencies and their compartmentalized processes to investigate and act on enforcement measures. On August 9, 2024, the City received a complaint with photos of 1 ESRI Community Analyst summary data, which utilizes U.S. Census Bureau sources (2017-2021 American Community Survey & 2020 Decennial Census Data), enhanced by ESRI’s forecasts and aggregations, covering demographics like population, income, age, and employment.  Planning Commission 1 – 135 3/6/2025       City Council 24 – 539 6/3/2025 ZOA No. 2024-02 & AA No. 2024-03 (Transit Zoning Code Amendments) February 24, 2025 Page 6 3 3 6 7 the the same crematory in which the complainant observed bodies stored in a container outside the facility. A City code enforcement inspector issued an abatement notice that same day; the bodies and container were removed and the case was closed on August 13, 2024 by code enforcement staff. Since 2022, the City has enhanced community services by restructuring its Planning Division to contain a Neighborhood Initiatives and Environmental Services (NIES) section, which oversees, among other functions, environmental justice efforts in Santa Ana and regional coordination to address such issues. Staff encountered difficulty in achieving desired enforcement outcomes with external regulatory agencies such as South Coast Air Quality Management District (SCAQMD), California Department of Consumer Affairs Cemetery and Funeral Bureau (CFB), and Orange County Fire Authority (OCFA) with several heavy industrial business operators in the TZC. This is supported through internal correspondence and phone conversations with staff from these agencies to understand their investigation and compliance processes. To address issues of industrial operators, including recycling and waste processing facilities near schools and residential areas, the City adopted new regulations such as a Noxious Uses Ordinance (Ordinance No. NS- 3044, adopted June 20, 2023) to include a notification requirement to the City by the property owner to obtain a permit from a regulatory public agency; a requirement of a 1,000 linear foot distance buffer measured from the outermost boundary of the subject property; and a conditional use permit requirement from a regulatory public agency to handle, store, emit, or discharge particulate materials, exhaust emissions, or regulated compounds, or chemicals near a public park, school (K-12), or property zoned for residential purposes. City staff have also researched commercial real estate acquisition data and current for- sale properties to identify any trends that could potentially generate an increase in the application of the City’s Noxious Uses Ordinance for proposed or expanded industrial uses. From September 2022 to date, 15 properties (six commercial, three office, and six industrial businesses) sold. Three of those businesses (800-808 E. Washington Avenue, 1045 N. Fuller Street, and 923 N. Logan Street) are located in the Logan neighborhood. Currently, multi-tenant industrial and manufacturing warehouse spaces on the market for lease located in the TZC. Recent City Council Actions and Direction to Address TZC Land Use Conflicts On April 16, 2024, the City Council adopted a 45-day moratorium on the approval, commencement, establishment, relocation, or expansion of industrial uses within the TZC through adoption of Urgency Interim Ordinance No. NS-3063. The purpose of the moratorium was to immediately offer protection of public health, safety, and welfare from industrial uses significantly causing pollution burden to adjacent residential neighborhoods within the TZC. On May 7, 2024, the City Council issued a report to the public, pursuant to Section 65858(d) of the California Government Code, describing the City’s measures to alleviate conditions that led to the adoption of the moratorium.   Planning Commission 1 – 136 3/6/2025       City Council 24 – 540 6/3/2025 ZOA No. 2024-02 & AA No. 2024-03 (Transit Zoning Code Amendments) February 24, 2025 Page 7 3 3 6 7 On May 21, 2024, the City Council adopted Ordinance No. NS-3064 to extend the moratorium for an additional ten (10) months and fifteen (15) days pursuant to the Government Code as necessary to provide sufficient time for staff to continue with data tracking and reporting, research appropriate regulations, and coordinate with outside regulatory agencies and City departments to determine whether further, permanent action is necessary and to generate recommendations to the Planning Commission and City Council. As part of its approval, the City Council expressed a desire for City staff to begin evaluating permanent solutions to the irreconcilable land use conflicts in the TZC area in as timely a manner as possible, which resulted in immediate evaluation of the zoning code text and map amendments consistent with direction provided for City Council consideration as part of this request. Review of City Department Activities Immediately following the adoption of the Moratorium, City staff conducted an interagency meeting that included representatives from multiple City departments: the Planning Division, Building Safety Division, Code Enforcement Division, Business License, and Information Technology. Additionally, engagement with additional agencies such as the Santa Ana Police Department (SAPD), Public Works Agency, and the Community Development Agency’s Economic Development Division has produced critical information illustrating the extent to which industrial activities interface with residential land uses in the TZC area, specifically and most concentrated in the Logan and Lacy neighborhoods. Data based on Business License and Economic Development records indicate that application of the moratorium affects approximately 127 industrial businesses in the TZC. All businesses must obtain appropriate permits before operating: commercial locations require a Certificate of Occupancy from the Planning Department, while residential-based operations need a Home Occupation Permit. Of the affected businesses, approximately three have active applications for permits, primarily seeking to legalize unpermitted work on industrial properties. City staff reviewed public safety data from SAPD and OCFA to assess community concerns regarding emergency responses in the TZC. SAPD records show a total of 18,736 calls for service between March 2023 and July 2024, with 226 of those occurring between April and July 2024 within the Logan and Lacy neighborhoods. These calls encompassed a wide range of incidents, including patrol checks, disturbances, and traffic- related issues. Notably, 1,909 calls involved collisions, vehicle impoundments, domestic violence, and SAMC violations. OCFA data from 2022 to August 2024 indicates 238 calls for advanced life support emergencies. In 2022, 29 calls were related to respiratory issues, chest pain, and cardiac arrest, with a subsequent 7-percent increase in health- related calls in 2023. While the data reflects a broad spectrum of emergency responses, the concentration of industrial businesses in the TZC raises the possibility that some of these calls, particularly those related to respiratory issues and traffic incidents, may be influenced by industrial operations. Further analysis is needed to determine the specific correlation between industrial activity and public safety concerns in the area.   Planning Commission 1 – 137 3/6/2025       City Council 24 – 541 6/3/2025 ZOA No. 2024-02 & AA No. 2024-03 (Transit Zoning Code Amendments) February 24, 2025 Page 8 3 3 6 7 OCFA data for 2024 reported 312 service calls in the Logan and Lacy neighborhoods. A substantial majority, exceeding 250, were EMS-related, indicating a high demand for emergency medical services. Other incidents included traffic and pedestrian accidents, fire responses (including unauthorized burning and a brush fire), and alarm activations. Some calls were cancelled or resulted in 'no incident found,' suggesting potential areas for improved dispatch accuracy. The volume and variety of these calls highlight the impact of the area's mixed land use, where dense residential areas, commercial activity, and industrial operations contribute to a wide range of emergency response needs. Currently, City staff have an internal process established which tracks and monitors incoming notice of compliance and notice of violations given to a particular business/operator. City Code Enforcement activities and implementation of the City’s Noxious Uses Ordinance continue being monitored at these facilities. Code Enforcement staff data reports show enforcement activity beyond the Logan and Lacy neighborhoods within the TZC, where at the time of adoption of the moratorium, 16 active open cases were issued Notice of Violations and administrative citations for the following types of violations: illegal storage, land use, zoning, property and landscape maintenance, unpermitted work, business license, and certificate of occupancy. Such violations include issues of odors, dust, traffic, noise, vibrations, and other documented impacts. Recent code enforcement complaints on properties in the Logan neighborhood involve complaints for recurring unpermitted work and land use violations that involve large commercial vehicles blocking street access and impacting nearby residents. Code Enforcement Division follow-up has resulted in larger administrative citations, continued enforcement, and onsite meetings with business owners. Currently, 21 open code enforcement violations or compliance reviews from industrial businesses are recorded with the City of Santa Ana, underscoring the need for close monitoring within the TZC area. The profile highlights the critical role of regulatory agencies in overseeing these businesses to mitigate potential environmental and public health risks. Review of Records and Activities of External Agencies Data from outside regulatory agencies assist City staff in further understanding activities between external regulatory agencies and industrial businesses that may place additional impacts on public health, safety, and welfare in affected neighborhoods adjacent to industrial businesses in the TZC. This information would enable City staff to understand the correlation and environmental burdens that may be attributed to permitted activities for industrial businesses in historically environmentally disadvantaged communities, specifically the Logan and Lacy neighborhoods. On April 25, 2024, City staff initiated public records requests from outside regulatory agencies, such as the South Coast Air Quality Monitoring District (SCAQMD), Santa Ana Regional Water Quality Control Board (SARWQCB), the Department of Toxic Substances Control (DTSC), and others responsible for issuing specific types of permits for industrial uses in the TZC. Such agencies are responsible for permit issuance, compliance activities,   Planning Commission 1 – 138 3/6/2025       City Council 24 – 542 6/3/2025 ZOA No. 2024-02 & AA No. 2024-03 (Transit Zoning Code Amendments) February 24, 2025 Page 9 3 3 6 7 and/or monitoring hazardous clean-up sites, or other industrial facility-related activities for sites located within the TZC. The City has responses to its Public Records Act request from SCAQMD, the Santa Ana Regional Water Quality Control Board (SARWQB), and the Orange County Environmental Health Division Certified Unified Program Agency (CUPA). Records show SCAQMD issued two notices to comply with one industrial business on August 2023 and April 2024 for failure to maintain records, such as temperature graphs, poundage logs, and source test data. SCAQMD issued several permits to construct and to operate to the new operator of this same facility, which is currently in compliance with SCAQMD. Two notices of violation to one industrial business for operating a paint spray booth without a valid permit to operate from SCAQMD. The report from the SARWQCB from 2023 shows five (5) active industrial businesses in the TZC that were in violation of their permit for providing a late report or incomplete and/or insufficient information for their Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan (SPPP). Public records from the Certified Unified Program Agency (CUPA) for Orange County, spanning 2022-2024, reveal a pattern of non-compliance with environmental and hazardous materials regulations among industrial businesses within the TZC. While some 2023 violations related to Hazardous Material Business Plan staff training and reporting were later corrected, current records indicate four businesses still have multiple open violations. These ongoing issues include non-compliance with documentation for hazardous waste transportation and disposal, as well as deficiencies in industrial stormwater reporting requirements. Notably, records from 2022-2024 show repeated failures to submit required stormwater reports and deficiencies in hazardous waste management and emergency response planning, including missing documentation and training. These violations highlight potential risks to public health and the environment. The proposed amendments for the TZC aim to strengthen the City's land use regulatory oversight, providing a necessary tool to address these deficiencies and safeguard the health, safety, and welfare of the TZC community. Air emission complaints continue to be reported to SCAQMD. These complaints included one involving black smoke and another regarding unpermitted soil vapor extraction equipment onsite. SCAQMD staff has clarified that for air quality complaints they receive, their inspector is required to be physically present to observe the activity from the facility described in the complaint to determine if the complaint warrants further investigation or enforcement action in accordance with SCAQMD Rules 401 (Visible Emissions), 402 (Public Nuisance), and 403 (Fugitive Dust). Therefore, although community members continue to share concerns with City and SCAQMD staff, the turnaround time for an SCAQMD inspector to be physically present at an SCAQMD-permitted facility to investigate an air quality complaint, especially if a complaint is reported after working hours or on weekends, is ineffective in addressing the immediate needs of the community.   Planning Commission 1 – 139 3/6/2025       City Council 24 – 543 6/3/2025 ZOA No. 2024-02 & AA No. 2024-03 (Transit Zoning Code Amendments) February 24, 2025 Page 10 3 3 6 7 Public Outreach Following City Council's extension of the SD-84 TZC Moratorium on May 21, 2024, the Planning and Building Agency has been developing proposed regulations for the TZC district, encompassing the Downtown, Lacy, and Logan neighborhoods. This effort includes updates to permitted uses (including the removal of industrial uses), operational standards, non-conforming use regulations (including a new amortization process), and reflects ongoing input from affected business owners, residents, community stakeholders, and industrial/commercial brokers gathered since July 2024, including a Community Information Meeting on October 22, 2024, and culminating in a series of meetings through February 20, 2025. The draft amendments to the TZC were released to the public on January 15, 2025, and were made available on the City’s Moratorium webpage. These amendments address the permitted uses table, nonconforming regulations, amortization, and operational standards, and are designed to prepare for the TZC Moratorium's expiration on April 15, 2025. Staff met with business owners and brokers on January 30, 2025, to discuss the draft regulations and met with the Lacy and Logan neighborhoods meeting on February 19, 2025, and again with a focus group of industrial businesses on February 20, 2025. Staff have continued to update the TZC (SD-84) Moratorium project webpage with additional updates, including the Study Session and Public Hearing Notice and recent Planning Commission’s Study Session PowerPoint presentation. City staff have also prepared two Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) documents to clarify information regarding the Moratorium, affected businesses, the proposed zoning amendments, legal concerns, community engagement, and opportunities to participate in the public hearing process. The first FAQ became available prior to the City’s project informational meeting on October 22, 2024, and the second FAQ is included with this staff report (Exhibit 5). Current Code and Proposed Amendments to Text, Figures and Maps Based upon the City Council’s actions and direction enacting the moratorium combined with the research and analysis of the issues herein, staff has prepared the proposed zoning ordinance (ZOA No. 2024-02) and zoning map (AA No. 2024-03) amendments. The proposed amendments would modify the list of land uses and permit types including the deletion of industrial land uses; amend nonconforming regulations including the addition of an amortization/termination of use process; amend and add operational standards for allowed uses and nonconforming uses; delete the Industrial Overlay (I-OZ) zone from text and maps; and delete the M1 (Light Industrial) and M2 (Heavy Industrial) suffixes from certain properties within the TZC boundary as designated on the City of Santa Ana Zoning Map.   Planning Commission 1 – 140 3/6/2025       City Council 24 – 544 6/3/2025 ZOA No. 2024-02 & AA No. 2024-03 (Transit Zoning Code Amendments) February 24, 2025 Page 11 3 3 6 7 Table 1: ZOA No. 2024-02 Current and Proposed Text Regulations Code Section Title Existing Zoning Code Regulations Proposed Zoning Code Regulations Application of Article SAMC Section 41-2001 establishes the land uses and standards applicable to the TZC - primarily for new uses. The update to text of this Section clarifies that the regulations apply to existing uses, whether conforming or nonconforming, change in land use or tenancy requiring issuance of Certificate of Occupancy. Organization SAMC Section 41-2001.5 establishes the contents and organization of the TZC regulations The update to the text is necessary to encompass the new Section 41-2009 (Operational Standards for Nonconforming Industrial Uses). Nonconforming Buildings, Structures and Uses SAMC Section 41-2002 establishes the regulations for nonconforming buildings, structures or uses within the TZC boundary. The provisions contain minimal limits for rehabilitation of buildings and structures and their expansion for both residential and non- residential uses. The update to text of this Section will further limit some rehabilitation of buildings and structures, with specific emphasis on nonconforming industrial uses. These updated provisions include: •Requiring rehabilitation or expansion of buildings and structures, occupied by any nonconforming use to comply with the new operational standards contained in Section 41-2009. •Prohibits expansion of a building or structure occupied by a nonconforming industrial use. •Discontinuation of nonconforming noxious uses through amortization. •Elimination of certain nonconforming uses and structures •Establishes a process for enacting amortization periods for eliminating certain nonconforming uses. •References to SAMC and State law for abatement of public nuisances. •Establishes authority for voluntary compliance agreements between the City and nonconforming uses. The Industrial Overlay (I-OZ) Zone SAMC Section 41-2004 establishes an overlay zone applied to M1 and M2 zoned properties located within the TZC boundary. Section 41-2004 is deleted in its entirety, removing the I-OZ Zone from the TZC to eliminate industrial land use type zoning altogether. Application for Discretionary Approvals SAMC Section 41-2005 establishes the process and timing of vesting for certain uses approved with a discretionary permit. Section 41-2005 is renumbered as 41- 2004, and the update to the text of this Section adds clarification for effects of the amendments to the TZC dependent upon status of an application in the City process of review, approval, and/or building permit issuance, if required.   Planning Commission 1 – 141 3/6/2025       City Council 24 – 545 6/3/2025 ZOA No. 2024-02 & AA No. 2024-03 (Transit Zoning Code Amendments) February 24, 2025 Page 12 3 3 6 7 Code Section Title Existing Zoning Code Regulations Proposed Zoning Code Regulations Zones Established SAMC Section 41-2006 contains the regulations for zoning districts, land uses, and permit types within the TZC. The update to the text of this Section deletes the I-OZ Zone, including replacing Figure 2.1, the Regulating Plan (map) with a new Figure 2.1 removing the I-OZ Zone designation from all parcels within the TZC boundary. Uses Permitted SAMC Section 41-2007 provides the allowable land uses and permit types required to establish a land use by each zoning district within the TZC. The update to the text of this Section clarifies application of the use standards by zoning district as follows: •Modifies Table 2A containing the Use Standards by adding and reclassifying certain land use types appropriate to the TZC land use subcategories •Deletes certain land use types that are inconsistent with the intent and purpose of the TZC, including the deletion of the Small-Scale Industry land use subcategory in its entirety. Operational Standards SAMC Section 41-2008 primarily regulates new uses within the TZC. The update to the text of this Section further limits certain operations to ensure greater compatibility between residential and non-residential land uses. Operational Standards for Nonconforming Industrial Uses SAMC Section 41-2009 is an entirely new set of regulations specific to existing nonconforming industrial uses within the TZC. The new Section establishes regulations for operation of any existing, legally established, nonconforming industrial use. The regulations cover general standards, enclosed operations, air emissions and dust, light, glare, and heat, ground vibration, outdoor storage and screening, hazardous materials, liquid and solid waste, site maintenance, truck parking and loading, and hours of operation. Definitions SAMC Section 41-2080 contains the definitions applicable to terms and land uses of the TZC. The update to the text of this Section provides clarification for certain land use types (artisan/craft product with limited on-site production, commercial recreation facility – indoor, and research and development), adds definitions for land use types (automobile repair, automobile service, business support services, craft and specialized automotive restoration service, pet day care facility and trade school), and deletes corresponding definitions for land use types that were deleted as part of the amendments to SAMC Section 41- 2006.   Planning Commission 1 – 142 3/6/2025       City Council 24 – 546 6/3/2025 ZOA No. 2024-02 & AA No. 2024-03 (Transit Zoning Code Amendments) February 24, 2025 Page 13 3 3 6 7 Analysis of the Issues The proposed amendments to the Sections of the TZC under the topic headings of Application of Article, Organization, Application for Discretionary Approvals, and Definitions are largely to ensure internal consistency related to the more substantive changes being proposed for the TZC to address irreconcilable land use conflicts, described as follows: •Nonconforming Structures and Uses - Section 41-2002 regulates the nonconforming building, structure or use specifically within the TZC. The regulations are unique to the TZC and do not apply citywide. The regulations determine under certain circumstances when a nonconforming structure or use can rehabilitate both structural or nonstructural; or expand conditions that would allow expansion. Due to the concerns enumerated within this report related to nonconforming industrial uses within the TZC, the amendments to this section increasingly limit rehabilitation of structures to those types of improvements that address compliance with the new Section 41-2009 operational standards for nonconforming industrial uses; and disallow the expansion of any nonconforming industrial use. This Section also includes new provisions to establish a process for the discontinuance of nonconforming uses, specifically noxious uses, and the elimination of those uses or structures through an amortization hearing process. The tools that these new regulations provide are necessary to address the environmental impacts that lead to the adoption of the Moratorium, provide the framework to initiate the process to eliminate noxious industrial land uses from the TZC, and align with the adopted EJ policies of the General Plan. •The Industrial Overlay (I-OZ) Zone – Section 41-2004 created an “exception” zone for properties within the TZC that had already contained M1 or M2 industrial zoning, uses and structures, when the TZC was adopted in 2010. In order to be both consistent and to promulgate the new General Plan land use designations within the TZC, the removal of this overlay zone is necessary. The zone currently gives deference to the property owner of these parcels with an industrial overlay to decide when and whether to redevelop their properties in a manner that would remove the industrial structure and use, replacing it with an allowable use and conforming to the design standards of the TZC. Eliminating the I-OZ Zone will cause these properties to become nonconforming as to use and structure, subjecting them to the regulations as amended and added to Section 41-2002, including discontinuance of nonconforming use or structure though amortization. With the deletion of the entirety of the text of Section 41-2004, Section 41-2005 Application for Discretionary Approvals is renumbered as Section 41-2004. •Zones Established and Uses Permitted – Amendments to Sections 41-2006 and 41- 2007, respectively, include parallel deletion of the I-OZ Zone affecting the Regulating Plan (TZC zoning map) and the corresponding Use Standards tables regulating the land use and permit types for each of the remaining zones of the TZC. Table 2A categorizes land uses into broad subheadings for both residential and nonresidential land uses. The nonresidential land uses are further categorized into commercial-  Planning Commission 1 – 143 3/6/2025       City Council 24 – 547 6/3/2025 ZOA No. 2024-02 & AA No. 2024-03 (Transit Zoning Code Amendments) February 24, 2025 Page 14 3 3 6 7 oriented versus industrial-oriented types of uses. The amendments will eliminate the Small-Scale Industry sub-category altogether, since the majority of these uses are industrial uses incompatible with residential uses. The purpose of the TZC is to promote transit-oriented mixed-use development, which pairs residential and nonresidential land uses either horizontally or vertically on a site or within a building. Compatibility of allowable land use types is critical, particularly given the history of the negative impacts from industrial uses remaining in the area and in close proximity to existing and new residential areas. Amending this Section also replaces the TZC zoning map figure to ensure consistency with the City’s Official Zoning Map and General Plan Land Use Map in accordance with requirements of State law, Government Code Section 65860. •Operational Standards and Operational Standards for Nonconforming Industrial Uses – Section 41-2008 contains operational standards applicable to all uses within the TZC boundary. This Section is largely unchanged, with clarification and strengthening of certain regulations to address any possible industrial type function of an allowable land use type as listed in the tables of Section 41-2007. These amendments affected any possible manufacturing related activities, sound, screening walls and eliminated any vehicular service on Sundays. Section 41-2009 establishes new regulations governing existing industrial uses made nonconforming with the removal of the I-OZ Zone within the TZC, and include general standards, enclosed operations, air emissions and dust, light, glare, and heat, ground vibration, outdoor storage and screening, hazardous materials, liquid and solid waste, site maintenance, truck parking and loading, and hours of operation. The amendments to Section 41-2008 and creation of new regulations under Section 41-2009 ensure that existing nonconforming uses comply with very specific operational standards and/or face amortization that leads ultimately to discontinuance of use, effectively reestablishing the TZC area with residential uses and allowing certain nonresidential uses compatible to such residential and/or mixed-use development. Profile of Industrial Businesses Affected with Proposed Regulations The SD-84 Transit Zoning Code (TZC) area is characterized by a diverse mix of approximately 127 industrial businesses. These businesses range from automotive services (the most common industry type) and manufacturing to warehousing and recycling centers. Data compiled from city and external regulatory agencies, including CalEPA, SCAQMD, and CERS, reveal that these businesses operate under various permits related to hazardous materials, air quality, and water quality. Key business characteristics include the storage and use of hazardous materials such as motor oil, solvents, and various chemicals, as well as the operation of equipment like emergency generators and internal combustion engines. Notably, several businesses, particularly those engaged in manufacturing (spray booths, metal processing) and chemical storage, handle substances like xylene, resins, mineral oils, and acids, posing potential risks related to air and water contamination, as well as fire and health hazards. Heavier industrial operators, such as open air recycling and sorting facilities in the TZC have been creating a   Planning Commission 1 – 144 3/6/2025       City Council 24 – 548 6/3/2025 ZOA No. 2024-02 & AA No. 2024-03 (Transit Zoning Code Amendments) February 24, 2025 Page 15 3 3 6 7 range of issues in the neighborhood. Issues range from: 1) air pollution – dust and participate matter from the sorting process that can become airborne, leading to respiratory problems and reduced air quality, VOCs released from decomposing materials, and odors; 2) water pollution from stormwater runoff that can carry contaminants, including debris, chemicals, or bacteria, from a facility to nearby waterways; 3) noise pollution from heavy machinery, trucks, and sorting equipment generating noise; 4) visual blight from the constant movement of trucks and equipment and from the piles of trash, debris, and recycling materials that detract from the aesthetic appeal of the community. The secondary effects affect residents’ quality of life with increased traffic hazards and living next to these heavier industrial uses and the risks being exposed to these issues on a daily basis. General Plan Consistency The proposed zoning ordinance amendments are consistent with various goals and policies of the Santa Ana General Plan, as required by Government Code Section 65860, by timely addressing current inconsistencies within an area of the City prioritized for addressing EJ. In effect, the amendments are necessary to address numerous policies of the General Plan that the current TZC is found to be inconsistent with, that without such amendments, will continue the path of irreconcilable land use patterns within the TZC. Specifically, these policies include Policy LU-1.1 (Compatible Uses), Policy LU-2.4 (Cost and Benefit of Development), Policy LU-3.8 (Sensitive Receptors), Policy LU-3.9 (Noxious, Hazardous, Dangerous, and Polluting Uses), Policy LU-3.11 (Air Pollution Buffers), Policy LU-4.3 (Sustainable Land Use Strategies), Policy LU-4.6 (Healthy Living Conditions), Policy CM- 3.2 (Healthy Neighborhoods), Policy EP-1.9 (Avoid Conflict of Uses), Policy EP-3.3 (Mitigate Impacts), Policy CN-1.5 (Sensitive Receptor Decisions), Policy CM-3.2 (Healthy Neighborhoods), and Policy HE-5.5 (Community Development), which are targeted at correcting past land use planning practices that have placed an unequitable environmental and health burden on certain neighborhoods now termed disadvantaged communities. The proposed amendments support these goals and policies by: •Fostering the compatibility between residential and nonresidential land uses within the TZC to enhance livability and promote healthier lifestyles, and improve public health and quality of life; •Resolving the development of industrial land uses and sensitive receptors being in close proximity to each other that pose health hazards by eliminating an overlay zone that promulgated continuation of industrial uses without recourse; •Improving the health of the existing and future residents of the TZC by regulating the operations of noxious, hazardous, dangerous, and polluting uses by giving priority to the discontinuance of those uses; •Responding to overarching EJ policies to develop and implement land use and zoning strategies to separate existing sensitive uses from heavy industrial facilities and emission sources; •Continuing to support the creation of healthy neighborhoods by addressing land use conflicts and incompatible uses through the elimination of the I-OZ zone and associated industrial land use types from the list of allowable land uses within the TZC;  Planning Commission 1 – 145 3/6/2025       City Council 24 – 549 6/3/2025 ZOA No. 2024-02 & AA No. 2024-03 (Transit Zoning Code Amendments) February 24, 2025 Page 16 3 3 6 7 •Developing and adopting new regulations to address facilities that emit increased pollution new sensitive receptors within EJ area boundaries, which includes areas of the TZC; •Avoiding potential land use conflicts in the future by prohibiting the location of noxious land uses in proximity to sensitive receptors; and •Creating a sustainable land use plan for the area that phases out land uses that are causing a substantial drain on City and other public agency resources in addressing the impacts from irreconcilable land use conflicts in the TZC area. Additionally, the proposed amendments implement and/or contribute to achieving the following specific action programs of the General Plan, most particularly directly addressing LU3.3 through the creation of a discontinuance of nonconforming industrial uses through amortization: LU1.1 - Development Code Update. Prepare a comprehensive update to the zoning code to ensure that the City’s zoning regulations align with the General Plan’s goals and policies. Update the Metro East Mixed-Use Overlay District to remove the portion within the 17th Street and Grand Avenue Focus Area. Update the Midtown Specific Plan. LU3.3 - Healthy lifestyles. Collaborate with residents and industry stakeholders to create a program to incentivize and amortize the removal of existing heavy industrial uses adjacent to sensitive uses. CN1.4 - Health risk criteria. Establish criteria for requiring health risk assessments for existing and new industries, including the type of business, thresholds, and scope of assessment. Review existing and establish new regulation to reduce and avoid increased pollution near sensitive receptors within environmental justice area boundaries. CN1.7 - Truck idling. Evaluate strategies to reduce truck idling found or reported in areas with sensitive receptors, with a priority placed on environmental justice areas. CN1.11 - Public education. Augment existing outreach programs to improve public awareness of State, regional and local agencies’ roles and resources to identify, monitor, and address air quality and other environmental hazards in the community. HE5.C – Healthy Neighborhoods Initiatives. Update the City’s zoning code development and operational standards for industrial zones to address incompatibility with adjacent uses, including minimum distance requirements to buffer heavy industrial uses from sensitive receptors. Conduct a study to evaluate and establish appropriate minimum distances and landscape buffers between polluting industrial uses from sensitive receptors such as residences. HE44.A – Fair Housing. Ensure all City programs and activities relating to housing and community development are administered in a manner that affirmatively furthers fair housing.  Planning Commission 1 – 146 3/6/2025       City Council 24 – 550 6/3/2025 ZOA No. 2024-02 & AA No. 2024-03 (Transit Zoning Code Amendments) February 24, 2025 Page 17 3 3 6 7 Santa Ana’s current General Plan champions implementation policies, including 77 EJ actions that address air quality, noxious uses, water safety, residential lead exposure in the soil, and other environmental public health conditions. The proposed Transit Zoning Code amendments align with both the General Plan's EJ policies and the original land use designations applicable to the area since the adoption of the Transit Zoning Code in 2010. ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT The California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) requires public agencies and local governments to measure the environmental impacts of development projects or other major land use decisions, and to limit or avoid those impacts if possible. CEQA Guidelines Section 15164 states the following with respect to an Addendum to an EIR: a) The lead agency or responsible agency shall prepare an addendum to a previously certified EIR if some changes or additions are necessary but none of the conditions described in Section 15162 calling for preparation of a subsequent EIR have occurred. b) An addendum to an adopted negative declaration may be prepared if only minor technical changes or additions are necessary or none of the conditions described in Section 15162 calling for the preparation of a subsequent EIR or negative declaration have occurred. c) An addendum need not be circulated for public review but can be included in or attached to the final EIR or adopted negative declaration. d) The decision-making body shall consider the addendum with the final EIR or adopted negative declaration prior to making a decision on the project. e) A brief explanation of the decision not to prepare a subsequent EIR pursuant to Section 15162 should be included in an addendum to an EIR, the lead agency’s findings on the project, or elsewhere in the record. The explanation must be supported by substantial evidence. Additionally, CEQA Guidelines Section 15162, Subsequent EIRs and Negative Declarations, states the following with respect to a Subsequent EIRs: (a) When an EIR has been certified or a negative declaration adopted for a project, no subsequent EIR shall be prepared for that project unless the lead agency determines, on the basis of substantial evidence in the light of the whole record, one or more of the following: (1) Substantial changes are proposed in the project which will require major revisions of the previous EIR or negative declaration due to the involvement of new significant environmental effects or a substantial increase in the severity of previously identified significant effects; (2) Substantial changes occur with respect to the circumstances under which the project is undertaken which will require major revisions of the previous EIR or Negative Declaration due to the involvement of new significant environmental effects or a substantial increase in the severity of previously identified significant effects; or  Planning Commission 1 – 147 3/6/2025       City Council 24 – 551 6/3/2025 ZOA No. 2024-02 & AA No. 2024-03 (Transit Zoning Code Amendments) February 24, 2025 Page 18 3 3 6 7 (3) New information of substantial importance, which was not known and could not have been known with the exercise of reasonable diligence at the time the previous EIR was certified as complete or the Negative Declaration was adopted, shows any of the following: (A)The project will have one or more significant effects not discussed in the previous EIR or negative declaration; (B)Significant effects previously examined will be substantially more severe than shown in the previous EIR; (C)Mitigation measures or alternatives previously found not to be feasible would in fact be feasible, and would substantially reduce one or more significant effects of the project, but the project proponents decline to adopt the mitigation measure or alternative; or (D)Mitigation measures or alternatives which are considerably different from those analyzed in the previous EIR would substantially reduce one or more significant effects on the environment, but the project proponents decline to adopt the mitigation measure or alternative. (b) If changes to a project or its circumstances occur or new information becomes available after adoption of a negative declaration, the lead agency shall prepare a subsequent EIR if required under subdivision (a). Otherwise, the lead agency shall determine whether to prepare a subsequent negative declaration, an addendum, or no further documentation. ZOA No. 2024-02 and AA No. 2024-03 are considered a project as defined by the CEQA. The City, as the Lead Agency, has determined that it is subject to CEQA guidelines and regulations (Public Resources Code (PRC) Sections 21000-21177). An Addendum to the Transit Zoning Code Environmental Impact Report (EIR) (State Clearing House (SCH) No. 2006071100) has been prepared by the City. Based on its independent review and analysis, and the administrative record as a whole, and, in the exercising its independent judgement, hereby finds that pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Section 15162, no subsequent EIR would be required for the proposed project; and pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Section 15164, an addendum to the Transit Zoning Code EIR is required for the adoption of the Ordinances. Specifically, pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Section 15162, the City finds on the basis of substantial evidence in light of the whole record, that: (1) no substantial changes are proposed in the project which will require major revisions of the EIR due to the involvement of new significant environmental effects or a substantial increase in the severity of previously identified significant effects; (2) no substantial changes have occurred with respect to the circumstances under which the project is undertaken which will require major revisions of the EIR due to the involvement of new significant environmental effects or a substantial increase in the severity of previously identified significant effects; and (3) there is no new information of substantial importance, which was not known and could not have been known with the exercise of reasonable diligence at the time the EIR was certified as complete, that shows any of the following: (A) the project will have one or more significant effects not discussed in the EIR; (B) significant effect previously examined will be substantially more severe than shown in the EIR; (C)   Planning Commission 1 – 148 3/6/2025       City Council 24 – 552 6/3/2025 ZOA No. 2024-02 & AA No. 2024-03 (Transit Zoning Code Amendments) February 24, 2025 Page 19 3 3 6 7 mitigation measures or alternatives previously found not to be feasible would in fact be feasible and would substantially reduce one or more significant effects of the project, but the project proponents decline to adopt the mitigation measure or alternative; or (D) mitigation measures or alternative which are considerably different from those analyzed in the EIR would substantially reduce one or more significant effects on the environment, but the project proponents decline to adopt the mitigation measure or alternative. Additionally, as detailed in the General Plan Consistency subsection of this report, the proposed Ordinances are consistent with numerous General Plan goals and policies that were evaluated as part of the General Plan Update Program EIR. The proposed Ordinances also satisfy and further implementation actions of the General Plan Update. FISCAL IMPACT There is no fiscal impact associated with this action. EXHIBITS 1.

GOVERNMENT CODE §84308 APPLIES: No     City Council 24 – 559 6/3/2025 Extension of Moratorium on the Approval, Commencement, Establishment, Relocation, or Expansion of Industrial Uses in Specific Development No. 84 May 21, 2024 Page 2 4 2 7 9     City Council 24 – 560 6/3/2025 Extension of Moratorium on the Approval, Commencement, Establishment, Relocation, or Expansion of Industrial Uses in Specific Development No. 84 May 21, 2024 Page 3 4 2 7 9 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY On April 16, 2024, the City Council adopted a Moratorium on the Approval, Commencement, Establishment, Relocation, or Expansion of Industrial Uses within Specific Development No. 84 Zoning District through adoption of Urgency Interim Ordinance No. NS-3063. The purpose of this Moratorium was to immediately offer protection of public health, safety, and welfare from industrial uses significantly causing pollution burden to adjacent residential neighborhoods in the Transit Zoning Code (Specific Development No. 84) through the following conditions, including: code enforcement active cases; irreconcilable land use conflicts in the TZC; alarming air quality, noise, traffic, proximity to noxious use facilities, and public health concerns; and external regulatory agency responsiveness. During the moratorium, the City is not issuing permits that result in the approval, commencement, establishment, modification, relocation, or expansion of industrial uses in the Transit Zoning Code (TZC). Pursuant to Government Code Section 65858, the Moratorium shall have no further force and effect 45-days from the date of its adoption, which was April 16, 2024, unless extended. An extension requires the City Council issue a written report ten days prior to the expiration of the Moratorium, or extension thereof, describing the measures taken to alleviate the condition which led to the adoption of the Moratorium, provide notice pursuant to Government Code Section 65090, and hold a public hearing. Government Code Section 65858(a) allows an extension for 10 months and 15 days and a subsequent extension for one year. An extension also requires a four-fifths (4/5) vote of the City Council. On May 7, 2024, the City Council issued a report to the public, pursuant to Section 65858(d) of the California Government Code, describing the City’s measures to alleviate conditions that led to the adoption of the Moratorium. City staff has determined that an extension of the Moratorium for an additional ten (10) months and fifteen (15) days pursuant to the Government Code is necessary to continue with data tracking and reporting, research appropriate regulations, and coordinate with outside regulatory agencies and City departments to provide a complete analysis and thorough evaluation of the more than 130 industrial businesses within the TZC. An extension of the Moratorium would provide sufficient time to enable staff to determine whether further, permanent action is necessary and to generate recommendations to the Planning Commission and City Council. Such action may entail a zoning map amendment, zoning text amendment, or both, which would address industrial land uses in the TZC.     City Council 24 – 561 6/3/2025 Extension of Moratorium on the Approval, Commencement, Establishment, Relocation, or Expansion of Industrial Uses in Specific Development No. 84 May 21, 2024 Page 4 4 2 7 9 DISCUSSION Background Review of City Department Activities Immediately following the adoption of the Moratorium, staff conducted an interagency meeting, which included representatives from multiple City departments. These departments include the Planning Division, Building Safety Division, Code Enforcement Division, Business License, and Information Technology. Moreover, engagement with additional agencies such as the Police Department, Public Works Agency, and the Community Development Agency’s Economic Development Division has produced critical information illustrating the extent to which industrial activities are intertwined with residential land uses in the TZC area, specifically and most concentrated in the Logan and Lacy neighborhoods. Data based on Business License and Economic Development records indicate that the application of the Moratorium affects more than 130 industrial businesses in the TZC. Of these, over one-dozen have active applications for permits, the majority of which are to legalize unpermitted work on industrial properties and address ongoing Code Enforcement Division notices of violation. City staff continue to gather, review, and analyze information regarding affected industrial businesses within the TZC. Specific data and reporting pertains to applications submitted by industrial businesses for permits, entitlements, certificates of occupancy, business licenses, and other relevant records immediately prior to and following the adoption of the Urgency Interim Ordinance and currently under review by City staff. Requests for information on calls for service and incident activities responded to by public safety departments of the Santa Ana Police Department (SAPD) and the Orange County Fire Authority (OCFA) are being reviewed by City staff to understand and validate public safety concerns or impacts shared by neighbors in disadvantaged communities with actual calls and emergencies reported. Initial reports from the SAPD show calls for service in the TZC totaling 18,510 calls between March 2023 and April 2024. These calls for service included patrol checks, car stops, disturbances, alarm activation, trespassing, and many more types of calls for service. Of the 18,510 calls for service, 1,909 incidents reported were related to collisions, impounded vehicles, hit and run collisions, domestic violence, and Santa Ana municipal code violations. Similarly, data from OCFA shows 62 calls for service in 2022 and 66 calls for service for 2023 for a combined 128 calls for service for both 2022 and 2023 for advanced life support-related emergencies. Specifically, 29 of the service calls responded to by OCFA in 2022 were related to health stemming from respiratory concerns to chest pain and cardiac arrest, along with long-term diabetic issues and chest pains. In 2023, there was nearly a seven percent (7%) increase in the number of health-related calls OCFA responded to related to health issues.     City Council 24 – 562 6/3/2025 Extension of Moratorium on the Approval, Commencement, Establishment, Relocation, or Expansion of Industrial Uses in Specific Development No. 84 May 21, 2024 Page 5 4 2 7 9 In addition, City staff continue to monitor Code Enforcement Division activities and implementation of the City’s Noxious Uses Ordinance pertaining to these facilities. Code Enforcement staff will broaden data reports that show enforcement activity beyond the Lacy and Logan neighborhoods within the TZC, where at the time of adoption of the Moratorium, 17 active open cases were issued Notice of Violations and administrative citations for the following types of violations: illegal storage, land use, zoning, property and landscape maintenance, unpermitted work, business license, and certificate of occupancy. Such violations include issues of odors, dust, traffic, noise, vibrations, and other documented impacts. The amount of active open industrial cases, in close proximity to one another, during a short period of time is creating a public nuisance and harming the public health, safety, and general welfare of the two residential neighborhoods. Since the adoption of the Moratorium, City staff have received multiple code enforcement complaints from community members about industrial businesses in the TZC area that were also reported previously before the adoption of the Moratorium. City staff have received repeated code enforcement and air emission complaints about facilities in the Logan neighborhood and are working with Code Enforcement Division and SCAQMD staff to obtain responses, investigations, or reports provided by the Code Enforcement Division and SCAQMD to the complaints reported. Recent code enforcement complaints on properties in the Logan neighborhood involve complaints for recurring unpermitted work and land use violations that involve large commercial vehicles blocking street access and impacting nearby residents. Code Enforcement Division follow-up has resulted in larger administrative citations, continued enforcement, and onsite meetings with business owners. Moreover, air emission complaints have been reported to SCAQMD. These complaints include one involving black smoke and another regarding unpermitted soil vapor extraction equipment onsite. Part of the jurisdictions that City staff are working with include SCAQMD staff to obtain updates regarding the status of these complaints. SCAQMD staff investigated one complaint that did not result in an enforcement action and is investigating the other complaint. SCAQMD staff has clarified that for air quality complaints they receive, their inspector is required to be physically present to observe the activity from the facility described in the complaint to determine if the complaint warrants further investigation or enforcement action in accordance with South Coast AQMD Rules 401 (Visible Emissions), 402 (Public Nuisance), and 403 (Fugitive Dust). Community members continue to share concerns with City and SCAQMD staff regarding the turnaround time for an SCAQMD inspector to be physically present at an SCAQMD-permitted facility to investigate an air quality complaint, especially if a complaint is reported after working hours or on weekends.     City Council 24 – 563 6/3/2025 Extension of Moratorium on the Approval, Commencement, Establishment, Relocation, or Expansion of Industrial Uses in Specific Development No. 84 May 21, 2024 Page 6 4 2 7 9 Review of Records and Activities of External Agencies To broaden the analysis beyond the City's local land use impacts, City staff have initiated public records requests from outside regulatory agencies, such as the South Coast Air Quality Monitoring District, Santa Ana Regional Water Quality Control Board, the Department of Toxic Substances Control, and others responsible for issuing supportive permits for industrial uses in the TZC. Such agencies are responsible for permit issuance, compliance activities, and/or monitoring hazardous clean-up sites, or other industrial facility-related activities and received current data requests for sites located within SD No. 84 that were initiated by City staff on April 25, 2024. Data from outside regulatory agencies will assist City staff in further understanding activities between external regulatory agencies and industrial businesses that may place additional impacts on public health, safety, and welfare in affected neighborhoods adjacent to industrial businesses in the TZC. This information would enable City staff to understand the correlation and environmental burdens that may be attributed to permitted activities for industrial businesses in historically environmentally disadvantaged communities, specifically the Logan and Lacy neighborhoods. In response to the City’s request, SCAQMD clarified the need to process the records request by larger geographic areas, such as zip code area as an example, not specifically matching the boundaries of the TZC. The City has not received responses to its Public Records Act requests and once it does, additional time will be needed for City staff to carefully review and analyze the data in order to understand all activities (internal and external) and affected industrial businesses. Comprehensive Zoning Code Update and Neighborhood Engagement City staff continue to work with Project Consultant MIG to ensure the City’s Zoning Code and General Plan are consistent. In order to maintain compliance with state law, comprehensive amendments to the Zoning Code will likely be required. MIG and City staff have already conducted extensive community outreach, stakeholder interviews, and reviews of existing zoning-related codes and policies in Santa Ana. These early efforts continue to indicate that there are irreconcilable land use conflicts and land use inconsistencies in the TZC area which are among the most pressing topics to be addressed as part of the comprehensive Zoning Code Update process in order to protect the health, safety, and welfare of the most vulnerable communities that face the impacts of the land use conflicts within the TZC area. The Neighborhood Initiatives and Environmental Services (NIES) section of the Planning Division continue to coordinate with City departments, outside regulatory agencies, and staff from other federal and state agencies to identify additional resources available to enhance deeper awareness of pollution exposure in disadvantaged communities, long-term health effects, and options for immediate     City Council 24 – 564 6/3/2025 Extension of Moratorium on the Approval, Commencement, Establishment, Relocation, or Expansion of Industrial Uses in Specific Development No. 84 May 21, 2024 Page 7 4 2 7 9 solutions. The NIES team has held meetings and discussions with staff from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention/Agency for Toxic Substances and Disease Registry and CalEPA Environmental Justice Team to identify opportunities for linking environmental justice (EJ) resources and support to the Logan and Lacy neighborhoods. NIES staff also continue to coordinate with residents selected to represent the City’s EJ Clusters to complete the formation of the EJ Action Committee, the community-led EJ advocacy group. This group will help guide the prioritization and resource investments to implement the City’s General Plan EJ Policies and Implementation Actions. Next Steps During the Moratorium, staff will evaluate if further, permanent action to address the land use conflicts in the TZC is necessary. Such action may entail a zoning map amendment, zoning text amendment, or both, which would permanently address industrial land uses in the TZC. Staff continues to receive, analyze, and prepare a thorough evaluation of industrial business uses within the TZC. Staff has determined that an extension of the Moratorium for an additional ten (10) months and fifteen (15) days, pursuant to Government Code Section 65858(a), is recommended to provide the additional staff time and resources needed to implement a comprehensive evaluation of the industrial uses in the TZC utilizing the data reporting and tracking, regulatory research, enforcement reports, and department discussions to fully understand the effects of industrial uses in the TZC and to continue to address current and immediate threats to public health, safety, and welfare, due to growing code enforcement complaints stemming from the irreconcilable land use conflicts within the TZC. On May 7, 2024, a ten-day report was issued by the City Council pursuant to California Government Code Section 65858(d) and is attached and referenced as Exhibit A to the Ordinance attached to this staff report. The April 16, 2024 City Council Meeting staff report is included in this report as Exhibit 3, providing background on the issues and analysis on the original need for the Moratorium. ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT The extension of the Moratorium is not subject to the California Environmental Quality Act (“CEQA”), as the proposed action is not subject to the requirements of CEQA, pursuant to Guidelines Section 15060(c)(2) because the activity will not result in a direct or reasonably foreseeable indirect physical change in the environment and 15060(c)(3) because the activity is not a project as defined in Section 15378 of the CEQA Guidelines, California Code of Regulations, Title 14, Chapter 3, because it has no potential for resulting in physical change to the environment, directly or indirectly and so is not a project, as the ordinance will temporarily preclude the approval,     City Council 24 – 565 6/3/2025 Extension of Moratorium on the Approval, Commencement, Establishment, Relocation, or Expansion of Industrial Uses in Specific Development No. 84 May 21, 2024 Page 8 4 2 7 9 commencement, establishment, relocation, or expansion of uses in Specific Development No. 84 (the Transit Zoning Code).

and WHEREAS, in unanimously adopting the Moratorium on April 16, 2024, the City Council of the City of Santa Ana established the following findings, all of which below remain true and applicable and necessary to support extending the Moratorium: •The TZC, located in the central core of Santa Ana, comprises approximately 450 acres, encompasses the Logan, Lacy, and Downtown neighborhoods, and was adopted by the City Council on June 7, 2010; and •Upon the initial adoption of the TZC in 2010, the General Plan of the City of Santa Ana was updated with new land use designations for the areas covered by the TZC to allow for new, mixed-use residential and commercial communities; an d •The goals of the TZC are to provide a transit-supportive, pedestrian-oriented development framework to support the addition of new and enhancement of existing communities through transit infrastructure; to preserve and reinforce the existing character and pedestrian nature of the City by strengthening urban form through improved development and design standards; to encourage alternative modes of transportation; to provide zoning for the integration of new infill development into existing neighborhoods; to provide for a range of housing options; and to allow for the reuse of existing structures; and     City Council 24 – 568 6/3/2025 Ordinance No. NS - ____ Page 3 of 11 •Industrial uses were established within the Logan and Lacy neighborhoods in close proximity to sensitive land uses such as residences and schools prior to the adoption of the TZC, as far back as the late 19th century, predating modern zoning practices that take into account irreconcilable land use conflicts among variegated land uses; and •The TZC provides new mixed-use zoning for properties contained within its boundary while creating industrial overlay zones allowing properties being used as industrial uses at the time of its adoption to continue to be governed by industrial zoning districts until such time that properties were converted to the mixed-use zones allowed by the TZC; and •Senate Bill (SB) 1000 went into effect in 2018, requiring local governments to identify environmental justice communities, called “disadvantaged communities”, in their jurisdictions and address environmental justice in their gene ral plans through facilitating transparency and public engagement in the planning and decision-making processes, reducing harmful pollutants and the associated health risks in disadvantaged communities, and promoting equitable access to health-inducing benefits such as healthy housing options; and •The City of Santa Ana completed a comprehensive update of its General Plan in April 2022; and •The Office of the Attorney General of the State of California was actively involved in ensuring Santa Ana’s General Plan update complied with all aspects of SB 1000 prior to its adoption; and •As required by SB 1000, update of the General Plan and its associated land use plan identified and addressed long standing environmental justice issues throughout all of its elements, which include 77 implementation actions aimed at reducing harmful pollutants and associated health risks in disadvantaged communities; and •Numerous policies of the General Plan are inconsistent with the present, irreconcilable land use pattern of the TZC. Specifically, these policies include Policy LU-1.1 (Compatible Uses), Policy LU-3.8 (Sensitive Receptors), Policy LU-3.9 (Noxious, Hazardous, Dangerous, and Polluting Uses), Policy LU-3.11 (Air Pollution Buffers), Policy LU-4.3 (Sustainable Land Use Strategies), Policy LU-4.6 (Healthy Living Conditions), Policy CM-3.2 (Healthy Neighborhoods), Policy EP -1.9 (Avoid Conflict     City Council 24 – 569 6/3/2025 Ordinance No. NS -XXXX Page 4 of 11 of Uses), and Policy CN-1.5 (Sensitive Receptor Decisions), which are targeted at correcting past land use planning practices that have placed an unequitable environmental and health burden on certain neighborhoods now termed disadvantaged communities; and •The industrial overlay zones in the TZC perpetuate past planning practices of locating industrial uses, or other noxious and unwanted uses, in close proximity to communities of color; and •The Logan neighborhood is the oldest Mexican and Mexican - American neighborhood in Santa Ana and one of the oldest in Orange County, and one of the few places where Mexicans and those of Mexican descent were allowed to buy land due to restrictions and covenants based on race during the first half of the 20th century; and •The construction of Santa Ana (I-5) Freeway through Santa Ana in the 1950s resulted in a number of families being displa ced through the demolition of single-family homes in the northeastern portion of the Logan neighborhood; and •In the 1970s a proposed expansion of an arterial highway along Civic Center Avenue would have demolished a significant portion, if not all, of the Logan neighborhood; and •The Logan and Lacy neighborhoods are within the second and third highest scored census tracts in Santa Ana, each with a composite score of 90 percent or greater, ranking in the 90th percentile or greater of census tracts in the State, and identified as “disadvantaged communities” by the Office of Environmental Health Hazard Assessment (OEHHA) in its CalEnviroScreen model; and •Assembly Bill (AB) 686 requires local jurisdictions to take deliberate actions to explicitly address, combat, and relieve disparities to disadvantaged communities, such as Logan and Lacy neighborhoods, resulting from past patterns of segregation, disinvestment, and planning practices; and •The updated land use plan in the Land Use Element of the General Plan does not designate any properties within the TZC, including the Logan or Lacy neighborhoods, as industrial; rather, are designated as varying intensities of District Center or Urban     City Council 24 – 570 6/3/2025 Ordinance No. NS - ____ Page 5 of 11 Neighborhood land use designations—both of which are inconsistent with industrial uses; and •There are pressing and growing code enforcement complaints stemming from the irreconcilable land use conflicts in the TZC. Specifically, in the Logan and Lacy neighborhoods, the City’s Code Enforcement Division has investigated over 33 commercial and industrial properties in the past nine months and currently has 17 active open cases that have been issued Notice of Violations and administrative citations for the following types of violations: illegal storage, land use, zoning, property and landscape maintenance, unpermitted work, business license, and certificate of occupancy. The close proximity of active open industrial cases during a short period of time is creating a public nuisance that is draining City resources and that is harming public health, safety, and general welfare of the TZC’s existing and new residential neighborhoods from the concentration of open code enforcement cases nearby; and •In the Logan neighborhood, 52 industrial facilities (automotive, warehouse/storage, crematory, towing yards, construction) are presently in close proximity to sensitive uses monitored by external regulatory agencies such as South Coast AQMD, Orange County Health Care Agency – Certified Unified Program Agencies (OC CUPA), Santa Ana Regional Water Quality Board (SARWQB), Orange County Fire Authority. Industrial facilities have caused significant pollution exposure to disadvantaged communities, including lead risk in soil and housing, diesel particulate matter from idling trucks, toxic release from facilities, traffic impacts, noise pollution, and airborne particulate matter or fine inhalable particles of 2.5 (PM2.5) microns or less in diameter. CalEnviroScreen reports higher environmental effects from active facility cleanup sites, hazardous waste facilities, and solid waste locations. Cumulative health impacts in the area include asthma, cardiovascular disease, and low birth weight, in this overburdened disadvantaged community factored by socioeconomic indicators of poverty, linguistic isolation, housing burden, and education; and •In the Lacy neighborhood, 76 industrial facilities (automotive, warehouse/storage, towing yards, construction) are presently in close proximity to sensitive uses monitored by external regulatory agencies such as South Coast AQMD, Orange County Health Care Agency – Certified Unified Program Agencies (OC CUPA), Santa Ana Regional Water Quality Board (SARWQB), Orange County Fire Authority. Industrial facilities     City Council 24 – 571 6/3/2025 Ordinance No. NS -XXXX Page 6 of 11 have caused significant pollution onto disadvantaged communities, including lead risk exposure, diesel particulate matter from idling trucks, toxic release from facilities, traffic impacts, noise pollution, vibration impacts, and airborne particulate matter or fine inhalable particles of 2.5 (PM2.5) microns or less in diameter. CalEnviroScreen reports higher environmental effects from active facility cleanup sites, hazardous waste facilities, and solid waste locations. Cumulative health impacts in the area include asthma, cardiovascular disease, and low birth weight, in this overburdened disadvantaged community factored by socioeconomic indicators of poverty, linguistic isolation, housing burden, and education; and •There is a recent surge in residential development activity in the TZC that is exacerbating the irreconcilable land use conflicts between residential and industrial land uses. Examples include the Lacy Crossing residential development with over 100 ownership units directly adjacent to existing industrial land uses, for which the City receives regular complaints from residential occupants of disturbances from noise, vibrations, odors, and truck traffic; and the Rafferty mixed-use development with 218 residential units, including 11 onsite units for very-low income households, which is located less than one-fifth of a mile from industrial land uses; and •There is a marked increase in the pending and active development applications for industrial land uses in the TZC, including for contractor’s yards, construction debris storage yards, manufacturing operations, expansion of existing industrial businesses, and storage and warehousing operations, stemming from shifting economic demands for goods and services emerging from the Covid-19 pandemic; and •The City Council approved a contract with Moore, Iacofan o, Goltsman, Inc. (MIG) on October 17, 2023. To ensure the City’s Zoning Code and General Plan are consistent, and to maintain compliance with state law, comprehensive amendments to the Zoning Code are required; and •MIG and City staff have conducted extensive community outreach, stakeholder interviews, and reviews of existing zoning-related codes and policies in Santa Ana. These early efforts have indicated that the irreconcilable land use conflicts and land use inconsistencies in the TZC area are among the top, most pressing topics that must be addressed as part of the     City Council 24 – 572 6/3/2025 Ordinance No. NS - ____ Page 7 of 11 comprehensive Zoning Code Update process in order to protect the health, safety, and welfare of the most vulnerable communities that face the impacts of the land use conflicts within the TZC area; and •The policies and implementation actions in the General Plan also require review, study, and possible revision in order to respond to recent concerns relating to the impacts of these industrial business uses in the TZC; and •Given these concerns, the City Council directed that a study be undertaken of the current provisions of the TZC to address industrial business uses and determine whether such uses should be permitted in the zoning district, and if not, proceed with an ordinance amendment to preclude such uses from the district; and •Based on the foregoing, the City Council found that continuing to issue permits, business licenses, or other applicable entitlements to individuals wishing to use their property located in the TZC for the purposes of industrial business use, prior to the City’s completion of its study of the potential impact of such uses, would pose a current and immediate threat to the public health, safety, and welfare, and that a temporary moratorium on the issuance of such permits, licenses, and entitlements in the TZC area is thus necessary; and •The City Council further found that if an industrial business use is permitted in the TZC without further review and potential regulation, it will pose a serious threat to the public interest, health, safety and welfare for the following reasons: o Adversely impacts surrounding businesses and neighborhoods; o Adversely impacts sensitive uses such as residences, schools, parks, and places where children congregate; o Conflicts with the goals and policies of the City's General Plan; o Long-term incompatibility and inconsistency with surrounding uses; and o Risks to the public health, safety and welfare of the City; and •The City Council also determined that prevention of detrimental impacts to residents, the public interest, health, safety and welfare required the immediate enactment of the urgency     City Council 24 – 573 6/3/2025 Ordinance No. NS -XXXX Page 8 of 11 ordinance and that the absence of the urgency ordinance will create a serious threat to the orderly and effective implementation of any code amendments, general plan amendments or specific plan amendments which ma y be adopted by the City; industrial business uses may be in conflict with or frustrate the contemplated updates and revisions to the Code. Moreover, permitting such uses during said studies and implementation would create impacts on the public health, safety and welfare that the City Council, in adopting the ordinance, found to be unacceptable; and WHEREAS, Since the adoption of the Moratorium, City staff has begun to gather data and research the impact of these industrial uses in the TZC as set forth in the report issued by the City Council on May 7, 2204; and WHEREAS, there is a need to study further the issues associated with industrial uses in the TZC and the impact that these uses have on the adjacent residential neighborhoods and their residents; and WHEREAS, City staff, the Planning Commission, and the City Council each require a reasonable period of time to study the existing SD-84/TZC and to evaluate if further, permanent action to address the land use conflicts in the TZC is necessary; and WHEREAS, the City Council wishes to extend the Moratorium for a period of ten (10) months and fifteen (15) days, or until the City Council adopts an ordinance addressing the issues raised, whichever occurs first; and WHEREAS, at a duly noticed public hearing on May 21, 2024, the City Council heard testimonial evidence and all other evidence submitted from members of the public that were present and from City staff. The City Council reviewed, analyzed, considered and studied all oral and written testimony and evidence presented at the public hearing, including staff reports and presentations of City staff. NOW, THEREFORE, the City Council of the City of Santa Ana does ordain as follows: Section 1. The recitals above are each incorporated by reference and adopted as findings by the City Council. Section 2. The City Council finds that there is a current and immediate threat to public health, safety and welfare posed by industrial uses in SD-84, also known as, the TZC. If an industrial business use is permitted in the TZC without further review and potential regulation, it will pose a serious threat to the public interest, health, safety and welfare due to adverse impacts on surrounding businesses and neighborhoods; adverse impacts on sensitive uses such as residences, schools, parks, and places where children congregate; conflicts with the goals and policies of the City’s General     City Council 24 – 574 6/3/2025 Ordinance No. NS - ____ Page 9 of 11 Plan; and the effect of long term incompatibility and inconsistency with surrounding uses. Section 3. In accordance with Government Code Section 65858 (d), on May 7, 2024, the City Council issued a written report describing the measures being taken to alleviate the conditions that lead to the adoption of the Moratorium and this extension thereof, attached hereto as Exhibit A and incorporated herein by reference. Section 4. Government Code Section 65858 authorizes the City Council to adopt an interim Urgency Ordinance, without following the procedures otherwise required for the adoption of an ordinance, to protect the public safety, health and welfare, prohibiting any uses that m ay be in conflict with a contemplated general plan, specific plan, or zoning proposal that the City Council, Planning Commission of the planning department is considering or studying or intends to study within a reasonable time.

GOVERNMENT CODE §84308 APPLIES: No EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Pursuant to Section 65858(d) of the California Government Code, the purpose of this staff report is to provide a written report no less than ten days prior to the expiration of Urgency Interim Ordinance No. NS-3063 describing the measures City staff has taken to alleviate the condition which led to the adoption of the Ordinance. On April 16, 2024, the City Council adopted Urgency Interim Ordinance No. NS-3063, which establishes a 45-day moratorium on the approval, commencement, establishment, modification, relocation, or expansion of industrial uses in Specific Development No. 84, also known as the Transit Zoning Code (commonly referred to as the “Transit Zoning Code” or “TZC”) while City staff researches appropriate regulations and determines whether an extension pursuant to the Government Code is necessary. Urgency Interim Ordinance No. NS-3063 shall have no further force and effect 45 days from the date of its adoption, unless, after a report on the first 45 days and a public hearing, the City Council members, again by four/fifths (4/5) vote, extend the Ordinance Exhibit A     City Council 24 – 578 6/3/2025 Ten-Day Report Describing Measures Taken to Alleviate the Condition which Led to the Adoption of Urgency Interim Ordinance No. NS-3063 (Transit Zoning Code Moratorium) May 7, 2024 Page 2 4 2 4 4 for an initial extension period of ten (10) months and fifteen (15) days. Based on the adoption date of April 16, 2024, the Ordinance is scheduled to expire on June 1, 2024. As City staff begins to analyze and prepare an evaluation of industrial business uses within the TZC, the evaluation will enable staff to generate recommendations to the Planning Commission and City Council to determine whether further, permanent action is necessary. Such action may entail a zoning map amendment, zoning text amendment, or both, which would address industrial land uses in the TZC. DISCUSSION Background On April 16, 2024, the City Council adopted Urgency Interim Ordinance No. NS-3063 to immediately offer protection of public health, safety, and welfare from industrial uses significantly causing pollution burden to adjacent neighborhoods through the following conditions, including: code enforcement active cases; irreconcilable land use conflicts in the TZC; alarming air quality, noise, traffic, proximity to noxious use facilities, and public health concerns; and external regulatory agency responsiveness. During the urgency interim moratorium period, the City will not issue permits that result in the approval, commencement, establishment, modification, relocation, or expansion of industrial uses in the TZC. Measures Taken Review of City Department Activities Immediately following the adoption of the 45-day moratorium, staff conducted an interagency meeting, which included representatives from multiple City departments. These departments include the Planning Division, Building Safety Division, Code Enforcement Division, Business License, and Information Technology. Moreover, engagement with additional agencies such as the Police Department, Public Works Agency, and the Community Development Agency’s Economic Development Division has produced critical information illustrating the extent to which industrial activities are intertwined with residential land uses in the TZC area, specifically and most concentrated in the Logan and Lacy neighborhoods. Data based on Business License and Economic Development records indicate that the application of Urgency Interim Ordinance No. NS-3063 affects up to 130 industrial businesses in the TZC. Of these, over one-dozen have active applications for permits, the majority of which are to legalize unpermitted work on industrial properties and address ongoing Code Enforcement Division notices of violation.     City Council 24 – 579 6/3/2025 Ten-Day Report Describing Measures Taken to Alleviate the Condition which Led to the Adoption of Urgency Interim Ordinance No. NS-3063 (Transit Zoning Code Moratorium) May 7, 2024 Page 3 4 2 4 4 City staff continues to gather, review, and analyze information regarding affected industrial businesses within the TZC. Specific data and reporting pertains to applications submitted by industrial businesses for permits, entitlements, certificates of occupancy, business licenses, and other relevant records immediately prior to and following the adoption of the Urgency Interim Ordinance and currently being reviewed by City staff. Requests for information on calls for service and incident activities responded to by public safety departments of the Santa Ana Police Department and Orange County Fire Authority (OCFA) are being reviewed by City staff to understand and validate public safety concerns or impacts shared by neighbors in disadvantaged communities with actual calls and emergencies reported. In addition, City staff continues to monitor Code Enforcement Division activities and implementation of the City’s Noxious Uses Ordinance pertaining to these facilities. Code Enforcement staff will broaden data reports that show enforcement activity beyond the Lacy and Logan neighborhoods within the TZC, where at the time of adoption of the Urgency Interim Ordinance on April 16, 2024, 17 active open cases were issued Notice of Violations and administrative citations for the following types of violations: illegal storage, land use, zoning, property and landscape maintenance, unpermitted work, business license, and certificate of occupancy. Such violations include issues of odors, dust, traffic, noise, vibrations, and other documented impacts. The close proximity of active open industrial cases during a short period is creating a public nuisance that is harming public health, safety, and general welfare of the two residential neighborhoods from the concentration of open code enforcement cases nearby. Review of Records and Activities of External Agencies To broaden the analysis beyond the City's local land use impacts, City staff have initiated public records requests of violation records and violation status of outside regulatory agencies, and have contacted staff from external regulatory agencies such as the South Coast Air Quality Monitoring District (SCAQMD), Santa Ana Regional Quality Water Control Board, the Department of Toxic Substances Control, and others responsible for issuing supportive permits for industrial uses in the TZC. Specifically, these agencies are responsible for permit issuance, compliance activities, and/or monitoring hazardous clean-up sites, or other industrial facility-related activities and have received current data requests for sites located within SD No. 84. Data from external regulatory agencies would assist City staff in further understanding activities between external regulatory agencies and industrial businesses that may place additional impacts on public health, safety, and welfare in affected neighborhoods adjacent to industrial businesses in the TZC. This information would enable City staff to understand the correlation and environmental burdens that may be attributed to permitted activities for industrial businesses in historically environmentally disadvantaged communities, specifically the Logan and Lacy neighborhoods. In     City Council 24 – 580 6/3/2025 Ten-Day Report Describing Measures Taken to Alleviate the Condition which Led to the Adoption of Urgency Interim Ordinance No. NS-3063 (Transit Zoning Code Moratorium) May 7, 2024 Page 4 4 2 4 4 response to the City’s request, SCAQMD clarified the need to process the records request by larger geographic areas, not specifically matching the boundaries of the TZC. When reports become available to the City, additional time will be needed for City staff to carefully review and analyze other internal data to understand all activities (internal and external) and affected industrial businesses. Comprehensive Zoning Code Update and Neighborhood Engagement City staff continues to work with Project Consultant Moore, Iacofano, Goltsman, Inc. (MIG) to ensure the City’s Zoning Code and General Plan are consistent and, to maintain compliance with state law, comprehensive amendments to the Zoning Code are required. MIG and City staff have already conducted extensive community outreach, stakeholder interviews, and reviews of existing zoning-related codes and policies in Santa Ana. These early efforts have indicated that the irreconcilable land use conflicts and land use inconsistencies in the TZC area are among the top, most pressing topics that must be addressed as part of the comprehensive Zoning Code Update process in order to protect the health, safety, and welfare of the most vulnerable communities that face the impacts of the land use conflicts within the TZC area. City staff from the Neighborhood Initiatives and Environmental Services (NIES) section of the Planning Division will continue to coordinate with City departments, external regulatory agencies, and staff from other federal and state agencies to identify additional resources available to enhance deeper awareness of pollution exposure in disadvantaged communities, long-term health effects, and immediate solutions. The NIES team has held meetings and discussions with staff from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention/Agency for Toxic Substances and Disease Registry and CalEPA Environmental Justice Team to identify opportunities for linking environmental justice (EJ) resources and support to the Logan and Lacy neighborhoods. In addition, the NIES team has been working with the residents selected to represent the City’s EJ Clusters to complete the formation of the EJ Action Committee, the community-led EJ advocacy group, to guide the prioritization and resource investments to implement the City’s General Plan EJ Policies and Implementation Actions. Next Steps Staff implements the 45-day moratorium established by Urgency Interim Ordinance No. NS-3063 through ongoing interagency coordination. Moreover, staff will continue to analyze and prepare an evaluation of industrial business uses within the TZC, which will enable staff to generate recommendations to the Planning Commission and City Council to determine whether an extension of the 45-day moratorium is recommended. If an extension is recommended, it would be placed on the May 21, 2024 City Council agenda as a public hearing item, which is prior to the June 1 expiration date.     City Council 24 – 581 6/3/2025 Ten-Day Report Describing Measures Taken to Alleviate the Condition which Led to the Adoption of Urgency Interim Ordinance No. NS-3063 (Transit Zoning Code Moratorium) May 7, 2024 Page 5 4 2 4 4 During the 45-day moratorium and any potential extension period, staff will evaluate if further, permanent action to address the land use conflicts in the TZC is necessary. Such action may entail a zoning map amendment, zoning text amendment, or both, which would permanently address industrial land uses in the TZC.

NS-3063 AN URGENCY ORDINANCE OF THE CITY OF SANTA ANA PURSUANT TO GOVERNMENT CODE SECTION 65858 ADOPTING A 45-DAY MORATORIUM ON THE APPROVAL, COMMENCEMENT, ESTABLISHMENT, RELOCATION OR EXPANSION OF INDUSTRIAL USES WITHIN SPECIFIC DEVELOPMENT NO. 84 ZONING DISTRICT WHEREAS, the City of Santa Ana has the police power pursuant to Article XI, section 7 of the California Constitution, to make and enforce ordinances to regulate the use of land within its jurisdictional boundaries; and WHEREAS, Government Code Section 65858 expressly authorizes the City Council, in order to protect the public health, safety and welfare, to adopt an interim urgency ordinance prohibiting a use that is in conflict with a contemplated general plan, specific plan, or zoning proposal that the legislative body, planning commission, or the planning department is considering or studying or intends to study within a reasonable time, provided that the urgency measure shall require a four -fifths vote of the legislative body for adoption, and shall be of no further force and effect forty-five (45) days from its date of adoption, unless duly extended; and WHEREAS, Specific Development No. 84 zoning district, also known as the Transit Zoning Code (TZC), located in the central core of Santa Ana, comprises approximately 450 acres, encompasses the Logan, Lacy, and Downtown neighborhoods, and was adopted by the City Council on June 7, 2010; and WHEREAS, upon the initial adoption of the TZC in 2010, the General Plan of the City of Santa Ana was updated with new land use designations for the areas covered by the TZC to allow for new, mixed -use residential and commercial communities; and WHEREAS, the goals of the TZC are to provide a transit -supportive, pedestrian - oriented development framework to support the addition of new and enhancement of existing communities through transit infrastructure; to preserve and reinforce the existing character and pedestrian nature of the City by strengthening urban form through improved development and design standards; to encourage alternative modes of transportation; to provide zoning for the integration of new infill development into existing neighborhoods; to provide for a range of housing options; and to allow for the reuse of existing structures; and WHEREAS, industrial uses were established within the Logan and Lacy neighborhoods in close proximity to sensitive land uses such as residences and schools prior to the adoption of the TZC, as far back as the late 1 gth century, predating modern Ordinance No. INS - 3063 Page 1 of 8     City Council 24 – 583 6/3/2025 zoning practices that take into account irreconcilable land use conflicts among variegated land uses; and WHEREAS, the TZC provides new mixed -use zoning for properties contained within its boundary while creating industrial overlay zones allowing properties being used as industrial uses at the time of its adoption to continue to be governed by industrial zoning districts until such time that properties were converted to the mixed - use zones allowed by the TZC; and WHEREAS, Senate Bill (SB) 1000 went into effect in 2018, requiring local governments to identify environmental justice communities, called "disadvantaged communities', in their jurisdictions and address environmental justice in their general plans through facilitating transparency and public engagement in the planning and decision -making processes, reducing harmful pollutants and the associated health risks in disadvantaged communities, and promoting equitable access to health -inducing benefits such as healthy housing options; and WHEREAS, the City of Santa Ana completed a comprehensive update of its General Plan in April 2022; and WHEREAS, the Office of the Attorney General of the State of California was actively involved in ensuring Santa Ana's General Plan update complied with all aspects of SB 1000 prior to its adoption; and WHEREAS, as required by SB 1000, update of the General Plan and its associated land use plan identified and addressed long standing environmental justice issues throughout all of its elements, which include 77 implementation actions aimed at reducing harmful pollutants and associated health risks in disadvantaged communities; and WHEREAS, numerous policies of the General Plan are inconsistent with the present, irreconcilable land use pattern of the TZC. Specifically, these policies include Policy LU-1.1 (Compatible Uses), Policy LU-3.8 (Sensitive Receptors), Policy LU-3.9 Noxious, Hazardous, Dangerous, and Polluting Uses), Policy LU-3.11 (Air Pollution Buffers), Policy LU-4.3 (Sustainable Land Use Strategies), Policy LU-4.6 (Healthy Living Conditions), Policy CM-3.2 (Healthy Neighborhoods), Policy EP-1.9 (Avoid Conflict of Uses), and Policy CN-1.5 (Sensitive Receptor Decisions), which are targeted at correcting past land use planning practices that have placed an unequitable environmental and health burden on certain neighborhoods now termed disadvantaged communities; and WHEREAS, the industrial overlay zones in the TZC perpetuate past planning practices of locating industrial uses, or other noxious and unwanted uses, in close proximity to communities of color; and Ordinance No. NS - 3063 Page 2 of 8     City Council 24 – 584 6/3/2025 WHEREAS, the Logan neighborhood is the oldest Mexican and Mexican - American neighborhood in Santa Ana and one of the oldest in Orange County, and one of the few places where Mexicans and those of Mexican descent were allowed to buy land due to restrictions and covenants based on race during the first half of the 20th century and WHEREAS, the construction of Santa Ana (1-5) Freeway through Santa Ana in the 1950s resulted in a number of families being displaced through the demolition of single-family homes in the northeastern portion of the Logan neighborhood; and WHEREAS, in the 1970s a proposed expansion of an arterial highway along Civic Center Avenue would have demolished a significant portion, if not all, of the Logan neighborhood; and WHEREAS, the Logan and Lacy neighborhoods are within the second and third highest scored census tracts in Santa Ana, each with a composite score of 90 percent or greater, ranking in the 90th percentile or greater of census tracts in the State, and identified as "disadvantaged communities" by the Office of Environmental Health Hazard Assessment (OEHHA) in its CalEnviroScreen model; and WHEREAS, Assembly Bill (AB) 686 requires local jurisdictions to take deliberate actions to explicitly address, combat, and relieve disparities to disadvantaged communities, such as Logan and Lacy neighborhoods, resulting from past patterns of segregation, disinvestment, and planning practices; and WHEREAS, the updated land use plan in the Land Use Element of the General Plan does not designate any properties within the TZC, including the Logan or Lacy neighborhoods, as industrial; rather, are designated as varying intensities of District Center or Urban Neighborhood land use designations —both of which are inconsistent with industrial uses; and WHEREAS, there are pressing and growing code enforcement complaints stemming from the irreconcilable land use conflicts in the TZC. Specifically, in the Logan and Lacy neighborhoods, the City's Code Enforcement Division has investigated over 33 commercial and industrial properties in the past nine months and currently has 17 active open cases that have been issued Notice of Violations and administrative citations for the following types of violations: illegal storage, land use, zoning, property and landscape maintenance, unpermitted work, business license, and certificate of occupancy. The close proximity of active open industrial cases during a short period of time is creating a public nuisance that is draining City resources and that is harming public health, safety, and general welfare of the TZC's existing and new residential neighborhoods from the concentration of open code enforcement cases nearby; and WHEREAS, in the Logan neighborhood, 52 industrial facilities (automotive, warehouse/storage, crematory, towing yards, construction) are presently in close proximity to sensitive uses monitored by external regulatory agencies such as South Ordinance No. INS - 3063 Page 3 of 8     City Council 24 – 585 6/3/2025 Coast AQMD, Orange County Health Care Agency — Certified Unified Program Agencies (OC CUPA), Santa Ana Regional Water Quality Board (SARWQB), Orange County Fire Authority. Industrial facilities have caused significant pollution exposure to disadvantaged communities, including lead risk in soil and housing, diesel particulate matter from idling trucks, toxic release from facilities, traffic impacts, noise pollution, and airborne particulate matter or fine inhalable particles of 2.5 (PM2.5) microns or less in diameter. CalEnviroScreen reports higher environmental effects from active facility cleanup sites, hazardous waste facilities, and solid waste locations. Cumulative health impacts in the area include asthma, cardiovascular disease, and low birth weight, in this overburdened disadvantaged community factored by socioeconomic indicators of poverty, linguistic isolation, housing burden, and education; and WHEREAS, in the Lacy neighborhood, 76 industrial facilities (automotive, warehouse/storage, towing yards, construction) are presently in close proximity to sensitive uses monitored by external regulatory agencies such as South Coast AQMD, Orange County Health Care Agency — Certified Unified Program Agencies (OC CUPA), Santa Ana Regional Water Quality Board (SARWQB), Orange County Fire Authority. Industrial facilities have caused significant pollution onto disadvantaged communities, including lead risk exposure, diesel particulate matter from idling trucks, toxic release from facilities, traffic impacts, noise pollution, vibration impacts, and airborne particulate matter or fine inhalable particles of 2.5 (PM2.5) microns or less in diameter. CalEnviroScreen reports higher environmental effects from active facility cleanup sites, hazardous waste facilities, and solid waste locations. Cumulative health impacts in the area include asthma, cardiovascular disease, and low birth weight, in this overburdened disadvantaged community factored by socioeconomic indicators of poverty, linguistic isolation, housing burden, and education; and WHEREAS, there is a recent surge in residential development activity in the TZC that is exacerbating the irreconcilable land use conflicts between residential and industrial land uses. Examples include the Lacy Crossing residential development with over 100 ownership units directly adjacent to existing industrial land uses, for which the City receives regular complaints from residential occupants of disturbances from noise, vibrations, odors, and truck traffic; and the Rafferty mixed -use development with 218 residential units, including 11 onsite units for very -low income households, which is located less than one -fifth of a mile from industrial land uses; and WHEREAS, there is a marked increase in the pending and active development applications for industrial land uses in the TZC, including for contractor's yards, construction debris storage yards, manufacturing operations, expansion of existing industrial businesses, and storage and warehousing operations, stemming from shifting economic demands for goods and services emerging from the Covid-19 pandemic; and WHEREAS, The City Council approved a contract with Moore, lacofano, Goltsman, Inc. (MIG) on October 17, 2023. To ensure the City's Zoning Code and General Plan are consistent, and to maintain compliance with state law, comprehensive amendments to the Zoning Code are required; and Ordinance No. NS - 3063 Page 4 of 8     City Council 24 – 586 6/3/2025 WHEREAS, MIG and City staff have conducted extensive community outreach, stakeholder interviews, and reviews of existing zoning -related codes and policies in Santa Ana. These early efforts have indicated that the irreconcilable land use conflicts and land use inconsistencies in the TZC area are among the top, most pressing topics that must be addressed as part of the comprehensive Zoning Code Update process in order to protect the health, safety, and welfare of the most vulnerable communities that face the impacts of the land use conflicts within the TZC area; and WHEREAS, the policies and implementation actions in the General Plan also require review, study, and possible revision in order to respond to recent concerns relating to the impacts of these industrial business uses in the TZC; and WHEREAS, given these concerns, the City Council hereby directs that a study be undertaken of the current provisions of the TZC to address industrial business uses and determine whether such uses should be permitted in the zoning district, and if not, proceed with an ordinance amendment to preclude such uses from the district; and WHEREAS, based on the foregoing, the City Council finds that continuing to issue permits, business licenses, or other applicable entitlements to individuals wishing to use their property located in the TZC for the purposes of industrial business use, prior to the City's completion of its study of the potential impact of such uses, would pose a current and immediate threat to the public health, safety, and welfare, and that a temporary moratorium on the issuance of such permits, licenses, and entitlements in the TZC area is thus necessary; and WHEREAS, if an industrial business use is permitted in the TZC without further review and potential regulation, it will pose a serious threat to the public interest, health, safety and welfare for the following reasons: 1) Adversely impacts surrounding businesses and neighborhoods; 2) Adversely impacts sensitive uses such as residences, schools, parks, and places where children congregate; 3) Conflicts with the goals and policies of the City's General Plan; 4) Long-term incompatibility and inconsistency with surrounding uses; and 5) Risks to the public health, safety and welfare of the City; and WHEREAS, prevention of detrimental impacts to residents, the public interest, health, safety and welfare requires the immediate enactment of this urgency ordinance. The absence of this urgency ordinance will create a serious threat to the orderly and effective implementation of any code amendments, general plan amendments or specific plan amendments which may be adopted by the City; industrial business uses may be in conflict with or frustrate the contemplated updates and revisions to the Code. Moreover, permitting such uses during said studies and implementation would create Ordinance No. NS - 3063 Page 5 of 8     City Council 24 – 587 6/3/2025 impacts on the public health, safety and welfare that the City Council, in adopting this ordinance, has found to be unacceptable; and WHEREAS, the City Council finds, determines and declares that the current and immediate threat to the public health, safety and welfare of the city and its citizens necessitates the immediate enactment of this urgency ordinance by a four -fifths vote of the City Council. NOW, THEREFORE, the City Council of the City of Santa Ana does ordain as follows: Section 1. The recitals above are each incorporated by reference and adopted as findings by the City Council. Section 2. The City Council finds and determines that this ordinance is not subject to the California Environmental Quality Act ("CEQA") pursuant to sections 15061(b)(3) and 15061(b)(5) of the CEQA Guidelines because it will not result in a direct or reasonably foreseeable indirect physical change in the environment, as the ordinance will temporarily preclude the approval, commencement, establishment, relocation or expansion of uses in the zoning district.

GOVERNMENT CODE §84308 APPLIES: No EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Staff is recommending adoption of an urgency interim ordinance, pursuant to Government Code Section 65858(a), also known as a moratorium, to address current and immediate threats to public health, safety, and welfare, due to growing code     City Council 24 – 592 6/3/2025 Transit Zoning Code Urgency Interim Ordinance (Moratorium) April 16, 2024 Page 2 4 1 8 7 enforcement complaints stemming from the irreconcilable land use conflicts within the Specific Development No. 84 zoning district (commonly referred to as the “Transit Zoning Code” or “TZC”). Specifically, in the Logan and Lacy neighborhoods, and surrounding areas, the City’s Code Enforcement Division has investigated over 33 commercial and industrial properties in the past nine months and currently has 17 active open cases that have been issued Notice of Violations and administrative citations for the following types of violations: illegal storage, land use, zoning, property and landscape maintenance, unpermitted work, business license, and certificate of occupancy. The close proximity of active open industrial cases during a short period is creating a public nuisance that is straining City resources and that is harming public health, safety, and general welfare of the TZC’s existing and new residential neighborhoods. If adopted, the urgency ordinance would establish a 45-day moratorium on the approval, commencement, establishment, modification, relocation, or expansion of industrial uses in the TZC while City staff researches appropriate regulations and determines whether an extension pursuant to the Government Code is necessary. The urgency ordinance shall have no further force and effect 45-days from the date of its adoption, unless, after a report on the first 45 days and a public hearing, the City Council members, again by four/fifths (4/5) vote, extend this ordinance for an initial extension period of ten (10) months and fifteen (15) days. DISCUSSION Background Specific Development No. 84 (the Transit Zoning Code) The Specific Development No. 84 zoning district, also known as the Transit Zoning Code (“TZC”), is located in the central urban core of the City and comprises over 100 blocks and 450 acres. The TZC includes the Civic Center, Downtown, and the Logan and Lacy neighborhoods, which are among the City’s most historic in age and in established residential communities. As shown in Exhibit 2, the TZC is generally bounded by First Street, Flower Street, Civic Center Drive, Grand Avenue, and the Santa Ana (I-5) Freeway. Prior to the implementation of the TZC, the area consisted of a wide range of civic, commercial, industrial, and residential land uses under a variegated amalgamation of zoning districts and their regulations. In June 2010, the City Council adopted Ordinance No. NS-2804, adopting various entitlements approving the creation of the TZC. The TZC established a transit- supportive, pedestrian-oriented development framework to support the addition of new transit infrastructure; preserve and reinforce the existing character and pedestrian nature of the City by strengthening urban form through improved development and     City Council 24 – 593 6/3/2025 Transit Zoning Code Urgency Interim Ordinance (Moratorium) April 16, 2024 Page 3 4 1 8 7 design standards; encourage alternative modes of transportation; provide for a range of housing options; and allow for the reuse of existing structures. Moreover, the TZC provided new zoning for all of the properties contained within its boundary with the exception of those properties zoned Light Industrial (M1) or Heavy Industrial (M2). These M1 and M2 properties retained their existing zoning, but were covered by two overlay zones that allows for the option of future mixed-use development to be exercised at the discretion of the property owner. In support of the TZC, the City Council also approved a General Plan amendment, establishing numerous mixed-use General Plan land use designations for the entirety of the TZC. In these industrial overlay areas, however, the resulting new General Plan land use designations immediately resulted in zoning inconsistencies and land use conflicts between the new General Plan land use designations and the industrial overlays. Since 2010, and specifically in the Logan and Lacy neighborhoods, these industrial uses have remained, changed ownership, undergone expansions or intensifications, and created numerous land use conflicts and disturbances that affect surrounding residential communities. Specifically, in the Logan neighborhood alone, these land uses create quality of life, health and safety, and other trespass issues for residential properties that often directly abut these industrial land uses. These issues include odors, dust, traffic, noise, vibrations, and other documented impacts that have taken place for nearly a decade and a half, despite the change in underlying General Plan land use designation. Comprehensive Zoning Code Update The City Council approved a contract with Moore, Iacofano, Goltsman, Inc. (MIG) on October 17, 2023. To ensure the City’s Zoning Code and General Plan are consistent, and to maintain compliance with state law, comprehensive amendments to the Zoning Code are required. Necessary amendments include the creation of new zoning district designations and corresponding development standards; updates to the definitions, signage, nonconforming, and parking sections; reorganization of the entire Zoning Code to a more user-friendly format; and new standards to reflect new land use trends, economic development trends, and land use goals of the City. MIG and City staff have conducted extensive community outreach, stakeholder interviews, and reviews of existing zoning-related codes and policies in Santa Ana. These early efforts have indicated that the irreconcilable land use conflicts and land use inconsistencies in the TZC area are among the top, most pressing topics that must be addressed as part of the comprehensive Zoning Code Update process in order to protect the health, safety, and welfare of the most vulnerable communities that face the impacts of the land use conflicts within the TZC area.     City Council 24 – 594 6/3/2025 Transit Zoning Code Urgency Interim Ordinance (Moratorium) April 16, 2024 Page 4 4 1 8 7 Historically Disadvantaged Communities Prior to the adoption of the City’s Transit Zoning Code (TZC), the City permitted industrial uses within the Logan and Lacy neighborhoods in close proximity to sensitive land uses such as residences and schools. By way of context, the Logan neighborhood represents the oldest Mexican and Mexican-American neighborhoods of Santa Ana and one of the oldest barrios in Orange County, and one of the few places where Mexicans and those of Mexican descent were allowed to buy land due to restrictions and covenants based on race during the first half of the 20th century. Moreover, as a neighborhood, the area was established before the modern practice of separating impactful land uses, also known as zoning. The Logan neighborhood itself originated as early as 1886 and was largely settled by 1900, before the practice of zoning was enshrined by Village of Euclid v. Ambler Realty Co. in 1926. By then, the neighborhood comprised residential, industrial, commercial, and related land uses, with issues further exacerbated by rail lines, fuel storage depots, and the construction of the Santa Ana Freeway between 1947 and 1956. Comprehensive data analysis and mapping tools generated by the California EPA (CalEPA), the Center for Diseases Control/Agency for Toxic Substances and Disease Registry (CDC/ATSDR), the U.S. EPA (EPA), and California Healthy Places Index (HPI), present concerning information regarding environmental conditions impacting residents in the Logan and Lacy neighborhoods. Exhibit 3 of this report references EJ maps showing rankings of at least 90% or higher in heavy air pollution attributed to indicators describing exposure to Particulate Matter (PM) 2.5, Diesel Particulate Matter, Air Toxics Cancer Risk, Toxic Releases to Air, and Hazardous Water Proximity exposures. Multiple sources of environmental exposure and pollution burden into communities of color, including the Logan and Lacy neighborhoods, presents an alarming set of challenges and decline in healthy community conditions that will impact their quality of life and life expectancy with continued heavy industrial uses nearby. Implementation of Senate Bill (SB 1000), City General Plan Update (GPU), and new Environmental Justice (EJ) Policies and Actions SB 1000 went into effect in 2016, requiring local governments to address pollution and other hazards that disproportionately impact low-income and communities of color within their jurisdiction as a way to proactively plan for and address environmental concerns when developing and updating components of the General Plan. During this period, the City began and extended its comprehensive public engagement process for the General Plan Update through its adoption in April 2022. The City and community worked to ensure that the new General Plan included SB 1000 requirements of addressing environmental justice in local general plans through facilitating transparency and public engagement in the planning and decision-making processes, reducing     City Council 24 – 595 6/3/2025 Transit Zoning Code Urgency Interim Ordinance (Moratorium) April 16, 2024 Page 5 4 1 8 7 harmful pollutants and the associated health risks in disadvantaged communities, and promoting equitable access to health-inducing benefits such as healthy housing options. Of note, the new General Plan mixed-use land use designations in the TZC area were largely left intact, including those in the Lacy and Logan neighborhoods, when the General Plan Update was adopted in 2022. Santa Ana’s current General Plan champions implementation policies, including 77 EJ actions that address air quality, noxious uses, water safety, residential lead exposure in the soil, and other environmental public health conditions. City staff, over the past year, have worked on a process to create an EJ Action Committee of EJ cluster area residents, community-based organizations (CBOs), and County and City staff representatives, to guide implementation and resource investments to protect neighborhoods from experiencing any further environmental harm. For the Logan and Lacy neighborhoods, incompatible land uses allowed from past zoning decisions, including the industrial overlay zones, have perpetuated the practices of locating industrial uses or other noxious and unwanted uses, in close proximity to communities of color. Code Enforcement and Immediate Ongoing Issues In the Lacy and Logan neighborhoods within the TZC, the Code Enforcement Division has investigated over 33 commercial and industrial properties in the past nine months and currently has 17 active open cases that have been issued Notice of Violations and administrative citations for the following types of violations: illegal storage, land use, zoning, property and landscape maintenance, unpermitted work, business license, and certificate of occupancy. These violations include issues of odors, dust, traffic, noise, vibrations, and other documented impacts. The close proximity of active open industrial cases during a short period is creating a public nuisance that is harming public health, safety, and general welfare of the two residential neighborhoods from the concentration of open code enforcement cases nearby. Since June 2023, the TZC communities have experienced a marked increase in impacts stemming from the irreconcilable industrial and residential land use conflicts in the Logan and Lacy neighborhoods. Residents in the TZC have increased their reporting of complaints and public health concerns to City staff regarding emitted contaminants and zoning violations from industrial businesses in the neighborhoods. Concerns that range from air pollution and smoke, toxic release exposures, idling trucks on residential streets, lead exposure, illegal storage, unpermitted uses, loud noise at night, and other property maintenance pose an immediate public health threat that is straining public resources to continuously investigate and address these matters. Six months ago, a fire incident at Macera Crematory, located at 1020 Fuller Street, alarmed neighbors at 9:18 p.m. on August 29, 2023. Neighbors shared with City officials disturbing video of high flames escaping the stack on the rooftop, the screeching noise that went nonstop for 10 minutes, and what they described as a foul odor attributed to the fire. As City staff     City Council 24 – 596 6/3/2025 Transit Zoning Code Urgency Interim Ordinance (Moratorium) April 16, 2024 Page 6 4 1 8 7 followed up with external regulatory agencies issuing permits to operate this facility, and quickly, staff observed the limitations from regulatory agencies and their compartmentalized processes to investigate and act on enforcement measures. Since 2022, the City has enhanced community services by restructuring its Planning Division to contain a Neighborhood Initiatives and Environmental Services (NIES) section, which oversees, among other functions, environmental justice efforts in Santa Ana and regional coordination to address such issues. Despite this restructuring, it is now well documented that the NIES section’s coordination with external regulatory agencies has not resulted in a favorable outcome in enforcement by responsible external agencies such as South Coast Air Quality Management District (SCAQMD), California Department of Consumer Affairs Cemetery and Funeral Bureau (CFB), and Orange County Fire Authority (OCFA) in many of these investigations. In response, the City has adopted new regulations such as a Noxious Uses Ordinance (Ordinance No. NS-3044, adopted June 20, 2023), which amends Zoning Ordinance No. 2023-01 that includes: a notification requirement to the City by the property owner to obtain a permit from a regulatory public agency; a requirement of a 1,000 linear foot distance buffer measured from the outermost boundary of the subject property; and a conditional use permit requirement from a regulatory public agency to handle, store, emit, or discharge particulate materials, exhaust emissions, or regulated compounds, or chemicals near a public park, school (K-12), or property zoned for residential purposes. City staff have also researched commercial real estate acquisition data and current for sale properties to identify any trends that could potentially generate an increase in the application of the City’s Noxious Uses Ordinance for proposed or expanded industrial uses. From September 2022 to date, seven properties, primarily industrial businesses, sold and three of those businesses (800-808 E. Washington Avenue, 1045 Fuller Street, and 923 N. Logan Street) are located in the Logan neighborhood. Currently, two large properties are in the market for multifamily and land types located in the TZC. Environmental Justice (EJ)/Disadvantaged Communities (DACs) Profile: Logan and Lacy neighborhood impacts A demographic profile of the Lacy and Logan neighborhoods combined represent a population of 5,907, which encompass 1,564 households, a median household income of $56,864, average household size is nearly four persons, median age is 27 years, per- capita income is $23,495, and 74% comprise renter-occupied units based on demographic forecasts for 2023. Nearly 25% of the population is under 14 years of age and 14% are 55 years of age and older. Nearly 3% of the population attended up to 12th grade with no diploma, over 31% are high school graduates, and nearly 97% of the working population over 16 years of age are employed. This data illustrates that the Logan and Lacy neighborhoods are within the second and third highest scored census tracts in Santa Ana, each with a composite score of 90% or     City Council 24 – 597 6/3/2025 Transit Zoning Code Urgency Interim Ordinance (Moratorium) April 16, 2024 Page 7 4 1 8 7 greater, ranking in the 90th percentile or greater of census tracts in the State, and identified as “disadvantaged communities” by the Office of Environmental Health Hazard Assessment (OEHHA) in its CalEnviroScreen model. Failure to address ongoing irreconcilable land use conflicts that are the target of this moratorium will further exacerbate the ongoing demographic and environmental justice challenges that these two neighborhoods within the TZC have grappled with since their founding. General Plan Inconsistency with Present Land Uses Numerous policies of the General Plan are inconsistent with the present, irreconcilable land use pattern of the TZC. Specifically, these policies include Policy LU-1.1 (Compatible Uses), Policy LU-3.8 (Sensitive Receptors), Policy LU-3.9 (Noxious, Hazardous, Dangerous, and Polluting Uses), Policy LU-3.11 (Air Pollution Buffers), Policy LU-4.3 (Sustainable Land Use Strategies), Policy LU-4.6 (Healthy Living Conditions), Policy CM-3.2 (Healthy Neighborhoods), Policy EP-1.9 (Avoid Conflict of Uses), and Policy CN-1.5 (Sensitive Receptor Decisions), which are targeted at correcting past land use planning practices that have placed an unequitable environmental and health burden on certain neighborhoods now termed disadvantaged communities. The purpose of the interim ordinance is to immediately offer protection of public health, safety, and welfare from these irreconcilable land use conflicts in the TZC, during the time that City staff analyzes and prepares an evaluation of industrial business uses within the TZC. Such an evaluation will enable staff to generate recommendations to the Planning Commission and City Council to determine whether industrial uses should be permitted in the zoning district, and, if not, proceed with an ordinance and zoning map amendment to the district. During the interim moratorium period, City staff will not issue permits, business licenses, or other applicable entitlements to individuals wishing to use their property for the purposes of industrial business use in the TZC. ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT This ordinance is not subject to the California Environmental Quality Act (“CEQA”), as the proposed action is not subject to the requirements of CEQA, pursuant to Guidelines Section 15060(c)(2) because the activity will not result in a direct or reasonably foreseeable indirect physical change in the environment and 15060(c)(3) because the activity is not a project as defined in Section 15378 of the CEQA Guidelines, California Code of Regulations, Title 14, Chapter 3, because it has no potential for resulting in physical change to the environment, directly or indirectly and so is not a project, as the ordinance will temporarily preclude the approval, commencement, establishment, relocation, or expansion of uses in the zoning district. FISCAL IMPACTS There is no fiscal impact associated with this action.     City Council 24 – 598 6/3/2025 Transit Zoning Code Urgency Interim Ordinance (Moratorium) April 16, 2024 Page 8 4 1 8 7 EXHIBITS 1.

Examples include the Lacy Crossing residential development with over 100 ownership units directly adjacent to existing industrial land uses, for which the City receives regular complaints from residential occupants of disturbances from noise, vibrations, odors, and truck traffic; and the Rafferty mixed-use development with 218 residential units, including 11 onsite units for very-low income households, which is located less than one-fifth of a mile from industrial land uses; and WHEREAS, there is a marked increase in the pending and active development applications for industrial land uses in the TZC, including for contractor’s yards, construction debris storage yards, manufacturing operations, expansion of existing industrial businesses, and storage and warehousing operations, stemming from shifting economic demands for goods and services emerging from the Covid-19 pandemic; and WHEREAS, The City Council approved a contract with Moore, Iacofano, Goltsman, Inc. (MIG) on October 17, 2023. To ensure the City’s Zoning Code and General Plan are consistent, and to maintain compliance with state law, comprehensive amendments to the Zoning Code are required; and WHEREAS, MIG and City staff have conducted extensive community outreach, stakeholder interviews, and reviews of existing zoning-related codes and policies in     City Council 24 – 603 6/3/2025 Ordinance No. NS - ____ Page 5 of 8 Santa Ana. These early efforts have indicated that the irreconcilable land use conflicts and land use inconsistencies in the TZC area are among the top, most pressing topics that must be addressed as part of the comprehensive Zoning Code Update process in order to protect the health, safety, and welfare of the most vulnerable communities that face the impacts of the land use conflicts within the TZC area; and WHEREAS, the policies and implementation actions in the General Plan also require review, study, and possible revision in order to respond to recent concerns relating to the impacts of these industrial business uses in the TZC; and WHEREAS, given these concerns, the City Council hereby directs that a study be undertaken of the current provisions of the TZC to address industrial business uses and determine whether such uses should be permitted in the zoning district, and if not, proceed with an ordinance amendment to preclude such uses from the district; and WHEREAS, based on the foregoing, the City Council finds that continuing to issue permits, business licenses, or other applicable entitlements to individuals wishing to use their property located in the TZC for the purposes of industrial business use, prior to the City’s completion of its study of the potential impact of such uses, would pose a current and immediate threat to the public health, safety, and welfare, and that a temporary moratorium on the issuance of such permits, licenses, and entitlements in the TZC area is thus necessary; and WHEREAS, if an industrial business use is permitted in the TZC without further review and potential regulation, it will pose a serious threat to the public interest, health, safety and welfare for the following reasons: (1)Adversely impacts surrounding businesses and neighborhoods; (2)Adversely impacts sensitive uses such as residences, schools, parks, and places where children congregate; (3)Conflicts with the goals and policies of the City's General Plan; (4)Long-term incompatibility and inconsistency with surrounding uses; and (5)Risks to the public health, safety and welfare of the City; and WHEREAS, prevention of detrimental impacts to residents, the public interest, health, safety and welfare requires the immediate enactment of this urgency ordinance. The absence of this urgency ordinance will create a serious threat to the orderly and effective implementation of any code amendments, general plan amendments or specific plan amendments which may be adopted by the City; industrial business uses may be in conflict with or frustrate the contemplated u pdates and revisions to the Code. Moreover, permitting such uses during said studies and implementation would create impacts on the public health, safety and welfare that the City Council, in adopting this ordinance, has found to be unacceptable; and     City Council 24 – 604 6/3/2025 Ordinance No. NS -XXXX Page 6 of 8 WHEREAS, the City Council finds, determines and declares that the current and immediate threat to the public health, safety and welfare of the city and its citizens necessitates the immediate enactment of this urgency ordinance by a four-fifths vote of the City Council.

Section 5. This ordinance shall have no further force and effect forty-five (45) days from the date of its adoption; unless, however, after public hearing the City Council members, by four/fifths (4/5) vote, extend this ordinance for an initial period of ten (10) months and fifteen (15) days and subsequently, after public hearing, the City Council members, by four/fifths (4/5) vote, extend this ordinance one more year. Section 6. It shall be unlawful and a misdemeanor for any person to violate or fail to comply with any provision of the ordinance. The violation of any provision of this ordinance shall be punished as provided in Section 1-8 of Chapter 1 of the Code.     City Council 24 – 605 6/3/2025 Ordinance No. NS - ____ Page 7 of 8 Section 7. If any section, subsection, phrase, or clause of this ordinance is for any reason held to be unconstitutional, such decision shall not affect the validity of the remaining portions of this ordinance.

The ordinance does not force businesses to close or relocate; rather, would make them legal non-conforming and allow them to continue operating provided they comply with the operating standards. 2) The proposed ordinance would not force any business closures or relocations. Existing industrial businesses, classified as legal non-conforming, may continue operating until they voluntarily cease or close due to natural business decisions. 3) Businesses can maintain their operations or adapt to permitted uses under the TZC (SD-84) district. A voluntary compliance agreement is a tool included in the proposed ordinance for developing a transition strategy. The tool could be used to formulate an agreement/plan by which the City and business owner have a mutual understanding of compliance timelines.

The City acknowledges the comment. CEQA requires the City to analyze the Project impacts against the existing environmental setting. As analyzed in the Addendum, the Project is not introducing any new land uses that would have air quality impacts. It is instead introducing new regulations for nonconforming industrial use that would discontinue nonconforming noxious uses, and establish screening walls. These regulations would reduce dust and lessen air quality emissions from the existing environmental setting. Further, any future development within the TZC area requiring discretionary action would continue to be subject to a project-level CEQA review and comply with existing regulations that will ensure potential impacts are not exacerbated. There will be no new or more severe significant impacts to air quality than were previously analyzed in the TZC EIR, and therefore a subsequent or supplemental EIR is not required.     City Council 24 – 642 6/3/2025 City of Santa Ana - Public Comment Response Matrix for April 1, 2025 City Council Meeting Public Hearing Item No. 22 Transit Zoning Code (SD-84) Page 8 Comment # Written Public Comment Received Response 25 continued Roger Simon- Business Owner - provided comments in opposition to the proposed Transit Zoning Code (SD-84) amendments with the following claims: - Claims that the ordinance will reduce air pollution are misleading, as the primary pollution sources are automobiles and trains, not industrial businesses. - The claim that the ordinance will reduce traffic is false, as converting industrial areas to high-density residential use will increase construction traffic and automobile congestion. Specific development projects are not being proposed under this Project. Instead, this Project modifies the list of land uses and permit types, including the deletion of industrial land uses, amends nonconforming regulations including the addition of an amortization process, amends and adds operational standards for allowed uses and nonconforming uses, and deletes the Industrial Overlay zone from text and maps, and deletes the M1 (Light Industrial) and M2 (Heavy Industrial) suffixes from certain properties within the TZC area. Thus, there are no new land uses being introduced or different development standards that would have significant transportation impacts. As discussed in the Addendum, any specific development projects that require discretionary action would continue to be subject to a project-level CEQA review and the mitigation measures set forth in the TZC EIR, as well as existing regulations, would still apply. Thus, potential transportation impacts will not be exacerbated, and will not result in any new or different impacts than analyzed in the TZC EIR. 26 Lauren Hale - Resident - provided comments in support of the proposed amendments to the Transit Zoning Code (SD-84) with no questions provided.

Use caution when opening attachments or links. To whom it may concern: "Esteemed members of the City Council, thank you for allowing me to address you today regarding the moratorium and proposed rezoning of our industrial areas. My name is Walter Yaeger, I purchased the industrial building at 1037 Fuller Street in1987, since then it is the location of the manufacturing company I founded in 1978. My daughter just celebrated her 35th year with me, my son-in-law is in his 30th year and my grandson is also currently working at this location. I come from a long line of tool and die makers and machinists, including my grandfather, my father and three of my uncles. I stand before you as a concerned business owner and resident, deeply troubled by the implications of this proposed zoning change. We all understand the fundamental pillars upon which any nation's prosperity rests: mining, agriculture, and manufacturing. While our city, admittedly, doesn't engage in mining or large-scale agriculture, it does possess a vital, albeit small, manufacturing sector. This sector is not a relic of the past; it is the cornerstone of our future. Let's be clear: modern manufacturing is not the smokestack industry of yesteryear. It's a high-tech, innovative field that provides high-paying jobs and drives technological advancement. It's the engine that produces the tools and equipment necessary for mining and agriculture -the very foundations of our society. Without manufacturing, our ability to sustain ourselves and innovate diminishes. The proposed rezoning threatens to eliminate this crucial element of our local economy. By converting M1 and M2 zones to residential, we are not simply changing land use; we are dismantling a vital component of our city's resilience and future prosperity. We are telling future generations that high-paying, technical jobs are not welcome here. We must also consider the strategic implications. Our nation's current economic challenges, including our staggering national debt, are directly linked to the offshoring of manufacturing. We've learned the hard lesson that outsourcing critical production leaves us vulnerable and dependent. History reminds us that our manufacturing might was instrumental in winning World War II. In a rapidly changing global landscape, we cannot afford to repeat the mistakes of the past and further erode our industrial base. Furthermore, preserving manufacturing zones ensures that our residents have access to local employment opportunities, reducing commute times and fostering a stronger sense of community. This is not just about economics; it's about the quality of life for our citizens. Comment #1     City Council 24 – 644 6/3/2025 I urge you to reconsider this rezoning. Let us not sacrifice our industrial future for short-term residential gains. Instead, let us embrace the potential of modern manufacturing and build a resilient, prosperous community for generations to come. Let us not forget the three pillars of a nation, and let us not remove one of the most important pillars of our city. Thank you." Regards, Walter W.

Specifically, we are concerned about the proposed removal of the existing light (M-1) and heavy (M-2) industrial overlays in these neighborhoods, which we believe would have a profoundly adverse impact on long-established businesses - many of which are owner/operator small and medium-sized enterprises vital to our local economy. The removal of the industrial overlays would disrupt a vital part of our community that has supported a wide range of downstream businesses for decades. Many of the impacted enterprises serve as key employers, providing jobs and contributing to the diverse character and history of the Logan and Lacy neighborhoods. By removing these industrial designations, the City risks displacing these businesses and undermining the livelihoods and retirement plans of owner/operators who have invested time, effort and resources in both neighborhoods. Instead of effectively punishing existing businesses in the two industrial overlay zones, the City should strictly target "bad actors" in the M-2 heavy industrial zone that are producing noxious em1ss10ns. Here are a few specific concerns that we would like to highlight for your attention: 1.) Impact on Small Businesses: Many of the businesses in the affected areas rely on industrial zoning and its inherent industrial uses to operate effectively. The removal of the two industrial overlays could force these businesses to either close or relocate, disrupting long­ standing operations and the local economy. This will disproportionately affect owner/operator businesses that have become an integral part of the community. In addition, because the ordinance restricts the expansion or modification of existing industrial facilities, growing businesses that require greater space will not be able to expand the physical size of their buildings.     City Council 24 – 647 6/3/2025     City Council 24 – 648 6/3/2025 Zuniga, Diana From: Kim Riker <kriker@ricedw.com> Thursday, March 27, 2025 10:29 AM eComment Sent: To: Subject: SD-84 TZC Rezoning Attention: Tl:us email originated from outside of City of Santa Ana. Use caution when opening attachments or links. Members of the Santa Ana City Council, I appreciate your taking time to read my concerns about completely zoning out M-1 & M-2 Industrial uses from SD-84 Transit Zoning Code area. I am a 3rd generation business owner who moved our office to Santa Ana in 2010 at the encouragement of the then-in-place City Council and its making our area an "Enterprise Zone" to better enable businesses to relocate here. Now we are being phased out due to the gentrification of this area, despite our proximity to a massive transit station and major freeway, both of which are contrary to healthful residential living. My concerns: 1.The draft regulations treat similar activities differently in various sections. For example, my property is to be zoned "Urban Center." We are an administrative office of 5 people that operates from 8 am to 5 pm and we sit inside all day and type on computers. I believe this should put us in the "Business Support Service" Land Use Type (page 19}, and we would simply need a "P" Permit (meaning we could simply carry on our business as we are now). However, because we provide business support service to a construction company, our administrative services may put us in to the "Professional" category (page 20}, thereby requiring a "P(l)" Permit type. This means we could only perform our administrative services "only on second or upper floors, or behind retail or service ground floor use." So, though we perform the exact same type of administrative work as Business Support Service, but service a construction company, we would then be required to add a retail space in front of our office? Or build a second story and allow a retailer to move in downstairs? This would increase vehicle and foot traffic, make more noise, and increase our business footprint in what seems to be contrary to the purpose of these regulations. The categorization of services in these Land Use Type charts is arbitrary and illogical in many cases, and this specific one makes no sense in our case. We make zero noise and only have 5 people in our office, but your regulations may require that we increase this, impacting the community. 2.The result of these regulations would be a taking of our property by the government. My mother owns the property next door, at Brown and Poinsettia, which is zoned UN-2. It is a building purpose-built in reliance on the location being made an "Enterprise Zone" by the City of Santa Ana years ago when it wanted to encourage businesses to move to this area. These regulations would render this property useless, as building "mixed use" residences would be required. The property is not large enough to do this. Therefore, as mentioned by a speaker last night, this would constitute a taking under the 5th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution. There are many instances of California case law that support this. 3.I understand the need to make changes to improve the area we are in, but forcing businesses out of the city and taking away local jobs from the 100 employees affected by my business and the one next door is not the way. My building is at the corner of 6th and Poinsettia, a corner the police and code enforcement know well, as we are across from Bruce Metals and I report on graffiti to our building and trash dumped on our sidewalk almost daily. I would love to have Bruce Metals and the recycling center gone as well -why don't you just focus on phasing out heavy industry instead of also capturing small, non-harmful businesses also?

Use caution when opening attachments or links. Dear Mayor Amezcua and Members of the City Council, I am writing as a resident of the Transit Zoning Code to express my strong support for the proposed amendments to the SD-84 zoning code, and specifically the removal of the M 1 and M2 industrial use overlay. These amendments are a long-overdue fix to the decades of incompatible land uses in the Lacy and Logan neighborhood. I appreciate that the proposed amendments will not force out any existing businesses currently operating within the affected areas. Rather, they will create flexibility for business owners to sell their business and for property owners to re-tenet their buildings with a broad range of businesses. This will allow for business owners to continue to positively contribute to the neighborhood and prevent vacant buildings. These amendments also provide the city with an essential tool to address the bad actors who are negatively affecting the quality of life in the neighborhood, such as the dump and metal recycling facilities next to Garfield Elementary School. With these amendments, we can better encourage responsible business ownership, ultimately improving the quality of life for residents and business owners alike. I encourage the City Council to approve these amendments for the benefit of the 1,500 families in the historic Logan and Lacy neighborhoods, and the city as a whole.

Dear Mayor Amezcua and Members of the City Council, I am writing as a resident of the Transit Zoning Code to express my strong support for the proposed amendments to the SD-84 zoning code, and specifically the removal of the M1 and M2 industrial use overlay. These amendments are a long-overdue fix to the decades of incompatible land uses in the Lacy and Logan neighborhood. I am especially concerned with Madison Disposal next door to the Train Station as they are in my opinion the largest of the offenders. They are in constant violation of the AQMD requirements by allowing dust and debris to leave their facility on a daily basis blanketing the area for miles. This disposal center is no longer a community dump for local contractors and landscapers but rather a shortcut for Ware Disposals full sized trash trucks. Madison Ware has been abusing this neighborhood for over 20 years and has done nothing to improve the infrastructure of the site that could mitigate the bad air quality as proven by a recent UGI study putting the area in the top 90% of bad air quality. Madison Ware has had their opportunities to add professional misting systems and undercarriage wash systems to control the dust and particulate matter but the time for those upgrades has long passed. Worse than the dust is the long term health issues that local long time residents have expressed everytime this topic comes up. Our hope is that this amendment will help force out this facility before the costly (for all parties including taxpayers) process of having to get Attorneys and Law Firms involved to expedite their removal. Elimination of Madison/Ware would also greatly decrease the traffic in the area. This would allow easier access to the Train Station for all, a11owing it to become the Urban Transportation Hub that many people believe it could be. Currently there is a constant line of tmcks blocking the roadway and new bike paths for anyone entering the area from the 4th street side. What other businesses are aJlowed to cue their customers on city streets?

Use caution when opening allachmenls or links. Dear City of Santa Ana, My family has owned the industrial property at 1101 E. 6th Street for years, and I am demanding that you halt your reckless rezoning plans. Stripping our property of its current zoning is nothing short of an attack on our livelihood. This property generates income that supports my family-your proposed changes would literally take food off our table. Beyond devastating us personally, your decision would be a financial disaster for the City of Santa Ana. The business on our site contributes over $2,000,000 annually in sales tax. Choking out businesses like ours will erode the city's financial foundation, making your decision not just unethical but also economically reckless. If you strip our zoning rights and prevent new permits, you will intentionally devalue our property, making it impossible to rent, which seems to be your goal. This is government-sanctioned theft, plain and simple. If you're so determined to take our property, then pay us full market value upfront-don't bleed us dry until we're forced to sell for pennies on the dollar. Your actions are unjust, and we will not stand by while you destroy what we've worked for. Do the right thing-leave our zoning alone. Jamie Glazer (714)240-4783 1 Comment #14 Becerra.

Use caution when opening attachments or links. March 31, 2025 My name is Mark Law. I am one of 3 members of FLP Investments LLC, the owner of the building and property at 911 N. Poinsettia St. We bought the building in 2001 after a year-long search and were pleased with the location and architecture that Burke developed for the 8 buildings they built in the project, working closely with the city of Santa Ana. Imagine our surprise in 2010, 8 short years after our building was first occupied, when the City of Santa Ana presented the Renaissance Plan in which they would take away our entitled zoning and rezone our property residential and open space with no compensation to us, the existing property owner. There was outrage among the property and business owners, many meetings, and the result was the industrial overlay on the underlying residential zoning. While not satisfied, the property and business owners finally concluded they could live with this zoning structure. Fast forward 15 years, now the city feels, in the words of the executive director of the city planning committee, that change has not happened fast enough. Their solution is to remove the overlay and subject the business and property owners to a steep devaluation of their property and huge financial and human cost to the existing businesses to relocate. The rationale was presented to us at the train station by Margarita saying that this decision was based on 'environmental justice'. If 'environmental justice' is driving this effort why hasn't the city gone after the handful of businesses who the entire community knows are the bad actors? Instead, this effort to remove the overlay in the transit district is targeting all 120+ industrial property owners/business owners in the district. A number of the local residents agree that the bad actors must go, not all the industrial businesses that have been good neighbors over the years. The business which has occupied our building at 911 Poinsettia is an industrial distributor, selling hose, fittings, valves, and the like to customers who are repairing their hydraulic and pneumatic equipment. The business gets one UPS and FEDEX delivery in the morning, and one 1 Comment #17 Becerra. Alexis From: Sent: To: Cc: Subject:     City Council 24 – 669 6/3/2025 pickup in the late afternoon. That is less UPS, FEDEX, and Amazon traffic than any Orange County residential neighborhood these days. The business is quiet and clean and has never had a complaint from the surrounding neighborhoods. I know that many of the businesses in the Transit District are just as quiet and clean. We feel that the city is acting in bad faith here, threatening our constitutional rights as property owners. The reason change has not occurred in the last 15 years since the Renaissance Plan is that buying up property in the transit district for a residential project does not pencil at current market values for the property. If the city thinks that artificially driving down the value of the existing properties so that residential developers may consider developments in the transit district is fair to the existing property owners, they are missing current realities. One glaring example of this transpired in Irvine recently when the city council was considering a large warehouse taking up a city block in the Irvine Business Center (IBC). The city denied approval but negotiated with the owners that if they built a residential project, they could keep their industrial zoning for the property. The city did this to avoid litigation for devaluing the property. The City of Santa Ana may want to consider things from this perspective as well. The city has an opportunity here to extend the moratorium and table any action on the zoning changes until a solution acceptable to all stakeholders can be found and implemented. The compressed window of time given to the stakeholders was not adequate for them to digest the proposed changes and research potential solutions in partnership with the city.

Use caution when opening attachments or links. Dear Councilmember Bacerra, It was great to meet you last week at the meeting with the planning commission regarding the SD-84 rezoning proposal. I really appreciate the time you took speaking with us afterwards. With that on the mind, I'm writing to you today regarding the SD-84 TZC Rezoning proposal. I recognize that you've heard from many stakeholders-both residents and business owners-and while the discussion has grown somewhat tense, I remain hopeful that tomorrow's meeting will be guided by level-headed deliberation and a shared desire for a mutually beneficial outcome. I am a fourth-generation owner of Pacific Plumbing of Santa Ana. Our company has proudly served this community since 1929, and with a deep appreciation for our long-standing relationship with Santa Ana, I am fully committed to building a prosperous and sustainable future here. That said, some of the vague language in the rezoning proposal being brought forward puts my future in jeopardy. Many of the current proposed compromises seem tailored to long-time business owners nearing retirement. While I deeply respect their contributions, these short-term allowances simply do not work for a younger businesswoman with a bright vision for the future. The truth is that if the initiative were to be approved, it would directly impact property values to the point where I could not reinvest in Santa Ana. Relocating to an industrial area would not be financially feasible, nor would I be able to improve the building or grow the business to better serve our community. I understand why some short-term concessions have leaned towards their concerns-they have been the most vocal-but I am speaking up now to ask for a broader, future-focused perspective. I am asking you to vote no tomorrow on SD-84. I am asking for the chance to collaborate with the city on a path forward -one that supports economic vitality, honors our history, and empowers the next generation of Santa Ana's business community.

Date: March 25, 2025 Re: SD-84 Transit Zoning Code Dear City of Santa Ana Mayor and Council members: 1 am writing to express serious concerns regarding the proposed regulation, which would significantly hinder our ability to continue operating in a sustainable manner. Reed Thomas Company, is located at 1025 N. Santiago Street in Santa Ana. We are a general engineering contractor performing wotk across four couhties on various construction projects. Our facility is situated within an Ml-zoned industrial area and serves as a critical service center for our field operations. Our business operates approximately 12 to 16 hours per day, with service trucks, material trucks, and mechanics departing the yard normally around 5:30 AM and returning between 6:00 PM and 8:00 PM, up to six days a week. It is important to note that during the day, our yard and shop remain relatively quiet since the majority of our work takes place off-site at construction projects throughout the region. The proposed ordinance includes the following regulations that will severely disrupt our operations: •The proposed hours of operation: Restrictjng activities to 7:00 AM to 8:00 PM on weekdays and I 0:00 AM to 8:00 PM on Saturdays-are incompatible with the operational realities of our industry. Adherence to these proposed hours is not possible, as it would severely impair our ability to meet contractual obligations and maintain project schedules. •AJI work to be done indoors: The proposed regulation would require all work to be done indoors. We perform routine maintenance and moderate repairs on our large Trucks, trailers and some tractors outside, as many of them do not fit inside our building. Also, the proposed regulation prohibits us from increasing the srze of our building under this proposed regulation. •Noise levels: The proposed i:egulation limits of noise level to 60 decibels. A normal conversation between two people is about 65 decibels. The ambient noise level in our yard, at 5am, before we operate, is between 67 and 73 decibels. This noise is from the 5 freeway and Santiago Street. •Noxious use: We are concerned that the proposed regulation could classify a business as a noxious use. Once classified as noxious, this proposed regulation would eliminate legal nonconfom1ing status on that property, and does not allow a less intensified industrial business to occupy that building or property. It is important to highlight that for the past 36 years, Reed Thom as Company bas operated at this location without a single complaint from neighboring businesses or residents. While we fully support the City's efforts to address businesses that are truly creating nuisances, it is both     City Council 24 – 677 6/3/2025 unfair and unjust to apply such sweeping regulations to responsible operators like ourselves,who are compliant and have demonstrated a longstanding commitment to operating in a lawful and respectful manner. In conclusion, I urge the Council to extend the moratorium. We believe it requires substantial revision before being brought forward for approval. Most importantly, the City should conduct site-specific assessments to gain a clear understanding of the nature of businesses affected and their essential role in supporting the region's economy and infrastructure. I respectfully ask the Council to recognize that one-size-fits-all regulations are neither fair nor effective and that responsible operators should not be penalized for the actions of a small number of bad actors. We invite you all to visit our site and learn more about our business. Thank you for your time and consideration of this important matter.

We1 ve been in the Santa Ana community since 2081 and remain committed to servicing the community respectfully. The importance of a heathy environment for the community is of our utmost concern, we do everything possible to be a good neighbor and have never had a complaint. I feel that some changes being proposed will have a detrimental effect not only business but also the community, many local businesses have numerous employees that live in local community, their jobs may be in jeopardy if forced to move. I believe the local business are very valuable of the city of Santa Ana and the economic support of the community. There are a number of business that are causing a lot of issues in the community, which changes are understandably and necessary, the city has responsibility to address these issues, but to make the changes to the entire area crates a huge financial burden on a majority of the good operators. For example, the proposed change, no loading or unloading and of trucks on the city streets, there's several family owned markets that will be adversity effected by this change including 711 on the corner of Grand and 4th, there's no way for the delivery trucks to park in the small parking lot. Please reconsider some the zoning changes that are being proposed to take into consideration the financial and operating burdens on most business. Thank you for your attention to these concerns. Respectfully, Ian MacMillan     City Council 24 – 683 6/3/2025 Flores, Dora From: Sent: To: Subject: Roger Simon < roger@pioneertrailersales.com > Tuesday, April 1, 2025 1 :32 PM eComment tonight's meeting and my email to the council jAttcntion: Thjs email originated from outside of City of Santa Ana. Use caution when opening attachments or links. Dear Mayor and Coluncilmembers, I grew up in Santa Ana, received a fine education in Santa Ana and worked at our family business in Santa Ana for almost 50 years. Our family still owns and leases industrial property in Santa Ana. While our property is outside SD-84, I'd like to address the proposed Zoning Ordinance Amendment (ZOA) No. 2024-02 and Amendment Application (AA) No. 2024-03 Amending Certain Sections of Article XIX (The Transit Zoning Code, Specific Development No. 84) of Chapter 41 (Zoning) of the Santa Ana Municipal Code that will be looked at by the Council tonight. This proposed ordinance is a bad idea for many reasons. The reasons these changes are claimed to be needed are contradictory to reality. A claim is made that this will reduce air pollution. This claim is false because the largest polluters in SD-48 are the thousands of automobiles operating through the area on Interstate 5, 17th Street, Grand Avenue and other streets and the dozens of trains operating daily on the tracks running north and south. A claim is made that this will reduce traffic. This claim is false because as industrial uses decline and residential conversions increase massive heavy vehicle traffic will occur for years as multistory high density housing is built out which will be followed by hundreds more automobiles on streets that are no wider than they are now. A claim is made that this will reduce the area's drug and homeless problems. This claim is false because existing residential areas in SD-84 and the rest of Santa Ana have drug and homeless problems. Changing the demographics in SD-84 will not eliminate the drug and homeless problems. Santa Ana's Vision as stated at the beginning of the agenda for tonight's meeting includes "Neighborhood pride •Thriving economic climate." Businesses,, like residents, have pride in the SD-84 neighborhood and are an important part of the economic climate. This will be harmed if the proposed changes are enacted. Santa Ana's Mission as stated at the beginning of the agenda for tonight's meeting includes "To deliver efficient public services in partnership with our community which ensures public safety, a prosperous economic environment, opportunities for our youth ... " Eliminating businesses reduces the prosperous economic environment and eliminates opportunities Uobs) for youth. 1 Comment #25     City Council 24 – 684 6/3/2025 Santa Ana's Guiding Principles as stated at the beginning of the agenda for tonight's meeting includes Collaboration, Equity, Fiscal Responsibility and Transparency. From a business person's point of view, there has not been much collaboration, equity to all parties, or transparency in this process. Fiscal responsibility will be overlooked. Instead of the City using resources and existing ordinances to pursue admitted issues in SD-84 it will be using those resources to combat the lawsuits you are assured will filed opposing the amended ordinance. It was stated in one of the meetings on this subject that about half of the neighborhoods in Santa Ana were mixed use like Logan and Lacey. This used to be a matter of pride. If it is now a matter of contention SD-84 will be a warning signal to businesses throughout the City of what will be coming to their neighborhoods. It will be a warning signal to businesses considering locating in Santa Ana to seek their opportunity elsewhere. Thanks for listening. Instead of enacting this proposed amendment, please work collaboratively with businesses and residents to find satisfactory solutions for all parties.

Use caution when opening attachments or links. Dear Mayor Amezcua and Members of the City Council, I am writing as a resident of the Transit Zoning Code to express my strong support for the proposed amendments to the SD-84 zoning code, and specifically the removal of the M 1 and M2 industrial use overlay. These amendments are a long-overdue fix to the decades of incompatible land uses in the Lacy and Logan neighborhoods. I appreciate that the proposed amendments will not force out any existing businesses currently operating within the affected areas. Rather, they will create flexibility for business owners to sell their business and for property owners to re-tenet their buildings with a broad range of businesses. This will allow for responsible business owners to continue to positively contribute to the neighborhood and prevent vacant buildings. These amendments also provide the city with an essential tool to address the bad actors who are negatively affecting the quality of life in the neighborhood, such as the dump and metal recycling facilities next to Garfield Elementary School. With these amendments, we can better encourage responsible business ownership, ultimately improving the quality of life for residents and business owners alike. I encourage the City Council to approve these amendments for the benefit of the 1,500 families in the historic Logan and Lacy neighborhoods, and the city as a whole. 3 Comment #26     City Council 24 – 686 6/3/2025 Sincerely, Lauren Hale Ward 6 4     City Council 24 – 687 6/3/2025 Flores, Dora From: Sent: To: Subject: john hale <johnhale82@gmail.com> Tuesday, April 1, 2025 1 :36 PM eComment; Penaloza, David; Amezcua, Valerie Support for Item 22 ,Attention: Thjs email originated from outside of City of Santa Ana.

Manufacturing, Inc. 1037 Fuller Street Santa Ana, CA. 92701 Comment #1     City Council 24 – 692 6/3/2025 "Esteemed members of the City Council, thank you for allowing me to address you today regarding the moratorium and proposed re-zoning of our industrial areas. My name is Walter Yaeger, I purchased the industrial building at 1037 Fuller Street in1987, since then it is the location of the manufacturing company I founded in 1978. My daughter just celebrated her 35th year with me, and my son-in-law is in his 30th year and my grandson is also currently working at this location. I come from a long line of Tool and Die makers and machinists, including my grandfather, my father and three of my uncles. I stand before you as a concerned business owner and resident, deeply troubled by the implications of this proposed zoning change. We all understand the fundamental pillars upon which any nation's prosperity rests: mining, agriculture, and manufacturing. While our city, admittedly, doesn't engage in mining or large­ scale agriculture, it does possess a vital, albeit small, manufacturing sector. This sector is not a relic of the past; it is the cornerstone of our future. Let's be clear: modern manufacturing is not the smokestack industry of yesteryear. It's a high-tech, innovative field that provides high-paying jobs and drives technological advancement. It's the engine that produces the tools and equipment necessary for mining and agriculture -the very foundations of our society. Without manufacturing, our ability to sustain ourselves and innovate diminishes. The proposed rezoning threatens to eliminate this crucial element of our local economy. By converting M1 and M2 zones to residential, we are not simply changing land use; we are dismantling a vital component of our city's resilience and future prosperity. We are telling future generations that high-paying, technical jobs are not welcome here. We must also consider the strategic implications. Our nation's current economic challenges, including our staggering national debt, are directly linked to the offshoring of manufacturing. We've learned the hard lesson that outsourcing critical production leaves us vulnerable and dependent. History reminds us that our manufacturing might was instrumental in winning World War II. In a rapidly changing global landscape, we cannot afford to repeat the mistakes of the past and further erode our industrial base. Furthermore, preserving manufacturing zones ensures that our residents have access to local employment opportunities, reducing commute times and fostering a stronger sense of community. This is not just about economics; it's about the quality of life for our citizens. I urge you to reconsider this rezoning. Let us not sacrifice our industrial future for short-term residential gains. Instead, let us embrace the potential of modern manufacturing and build a resilient, prosperous community for generations to come. Let us not forget the three pillars of a nation and let us not remove one of the most important pillars of our city. Thank you." Regards, Walter W.

Use caution when opening attachments or links. To the Honorable Mayor Amezcua and Santa Ana City Council, As a business owner affected daily by the "bad actors" we can all agree need to be dealt with, I implore you to not destroy the businesses like mine who support the City and its residents with job opportunities and tax revenue. The meetings of residents and businesses show that neither group supports devastating good businesses, and their employees, for the benefit of gentrifying developers who will build high density, unaffordable, luxury, multi-story units and thousands of additional residents -and traffic -right between 2 historic single-family neighborhoods. This is exactly what the proposed rezoning does -it shuts down clean industrial businesses and eliminates jobs. There have not been any environmental studies in this area and the pollution from the 5 freeway, constant trains and congested city streets seem to be completely ignored. Instead of destroying the businesses you lured here with the Enterprise Zone and other tax advantages, any proposals should focus on those who are actually "noxious" in nature. At the Train Station meeting and at the Planning Commission --residents recommended that the M-1 zone remain and that the M-2 zone designation be eliminated. Please consider amending the proposal to remove just the M-2 overlay --allowing the M-1 Light Industrial to remain -and converting current M-2 properties to M-1. I understand this approach was taken in Los Angeles County in its "Green" rezoning. Something similar here would at least preserve some of the long-standing, multi-generational businesses that have supported this City's infrastructure and revenue for over 70 years.

Use caution when opening attachments or links. Honorable Mayor Amezcua and City Council, The March Train Station meeting brought together residents and businesses and made clear that residents do not support an unjustified land grab which will devastate good businesses, and their employees, for the benefit of gentrifying developers. Developers will bring high density luxury multi-story units and thousands of additional residents -and traffic - right between 2 historic single-family neighborhoods. Residents don't want to unnecessarily shut down clean industrial businesses and eliminate jobs. The City hasn't done any environmental studies in this area -yet they put forward claims of pollution - seemingly blaming this little business area as responsible for pollution which incurs throughout Southern California -and without considering nearby significant pollution contributors, like the 5 freeway, busy city streets and the train tracks. Critical details need to be addressed -such as the inaccurate and subjective classification of "noxious" businesses. There are devastating consequences in the regulations for labeling a business as "noxious" -as the City has already done without justification to many businesses. These regulations would deny continued use of a clean business property for a small box of hoses or a pail of machine lubricant -while not requiring the same Comment #3     City Council 24 – 695 6/3/2025 of a "noxious" gas station property with many thousands of gallons of hazardous fuel. That is simply not equitable or fair. We need a balanced approach that targets "bad actor" businesses. You know who they are -they degrade both business and residential neighborhoods. The City should focus on: Addressing the primary nuisance and "noxious" businesses --90% of the businesses do not cause any problems for the City or neighborhoods -yet they are being lumped in with the problem causing operators. Clarification of regulations --This re-zoning is every bit as significant to this area as the re-zoning is in the ongoing General Plan Update --but it has not received equivalent outreach, community input, and collaboration. At the Train Station meeting and at the Planning Commission --residents recommended that the M-1 zone remain and that the M-2 zone designation be eliminated. Consider removing the M-2 overlay --allowing the M-1 Light Industrial to remain -and converting current M-2 properties to M-1 ... as was done in the County of Los Angeles "Green" rezoning.

Use caution when opening attachments or links. Name Peter Loamkin Email hplmechanical@hotmail.com Message Please see the attached letter below regarding the proposed SD-84 Area -Transit Zoning Code Rezoning that is coming before the city council at the May 6th meeting. I have already sent this to each of the council members and the Mayor using the document up load feature located on the "Contact" city council webpage. I am sending this to you so that it would be entered/recorded as received in the meeting minutes. Since there is no document upload feature on this page, I pasted the letter below. Thank you. 5/5/25 City of Santa Ana Re: Proposed SD-84 Area -Transit Zoning Code Rezoning Dear Council Member, I am opposed to and ask that you vote against the approval of the proposed SD-84 Area -Transit Zoning Code Rezoning that is to come up before the city council on May 6th. Having both a residence and an industrial zoned property in the Logan district, I am opposed to the rezoning effort being made in the area. After discussing the rezoning changes the city intends to make with numerous neighbors around my home and industrial property, it has become clear to me that there is no desire let alone push for these changes by most of the Logan Street residence owners. It is clear that there is a push for this only by a few outspoken, well-connected and rewarded neighborhood activists who reside in and outside of the neighborhood. These activists have spoken to my neighbors and made it known that they hate the existence of the industrial properties located in the neighborhood and intend to rid "their'' neighborhood of all the businesses. As I mentioned, most neighbors around me are quite content living and interacting with the presence of business properties near them and have done so for many decades. My family and I have spent 50 years of our lives living and working in the Logan neighborhood. As I stated at the Planning Commission meetings in the past, I consider my neighbors on Logan Street near my home and business as good friends, many as part of our extended family. This rezoning change being made by the city is simply a means of accomplishing a city desire/goal of changing the neighborhood into something in line with the long-term beautification of the train station to downtown areas. I understand that desire to beautify the area. However, forcing a change to the zoning will only negatively harm the property values and businesses of all industrial properties located within the proposed zone. Properties that have been owned by families for generations. Further, passage of this rezoning code will also cause great damage to the finances and resource capital of the ongoing businesses, impacting the livelihoods of many people who live in Santa Ana and are dependent on those businesses. This kind of financial damage brought on by the taking of property, property value, and or limiting the property's' use after that property has been established and in use as previously determined and agreed upon by the City of Santa Ana, directly or indirectly, is unconstitutional. Comment #4     City Council 24 – 697 6/3/2025 The City Planning Dept. has told the public that the rezoning effort as being required due to some California legislative regulation demanding it to be done. That the city has no choice but to conform to it. As convenient of an excuse as this may be, none the less, an area re-zoning change of this monumental scope and size has been rushed for approval at an alarming rate. Because of this haste, there has been an inadequate amount of time for the affected parties to study and provide input on the proposed code changes. Further, the city has not produced a current environmental impact, air quality, traffic impact or similar normally required reports for review. One of the main causes of concern by the many residences I have spoken with is the amount of traffic and parking issues that this zoning change will bring with it when all the business are coerced/forced to vacate the area and the population thereby inevitably increases. At the city/resident meeting in February, when asked by a resident about the additional traffic and parking the additional population will bring, (which is an overcrowded problem now), the city official said, that this has not been reviewed as part of the planning departments concern at that time and that the main focus was to remove the businesses from the area first. Page 1 of 2 The city produced the first draft to the public in the middle of January and the council is set to vote to approve it on May 6th. This amount of time for inquiry and review is inadequate. Given this, how can the city objectively say that this has been a thorough, fair and equitable outcome for all parties that this zoning change will affect. As I understand it, subsequent to the last Planning Commission meeting where the code changes were approved, there have been additional or new changes and or additions made to the proposed new rezoning code. This is not an example of fairness or transparency. It should be noted that this current Planning Commission approved zoning change is simply nothing more than fundamentally, a regulatory takeover. It should also be noted that the two dissenting votes on the Planning Commission rightly were concerned that this was an illegal taking of uncompensated value from the owners of these properties and businesses. Without fair and just compensation for the industrial zoned property owners and the businesses represented, this zoning change will subvert the Constitutional eminent domain laws and protections. It would be reasonable to understand that the city could expect the industrial property owners to seek a legal remedy to return and protect their property rights provided in the constitution under the eminent domain provision if the city council votes to approve the rezoning change in its current form. I strongly urge the City Council to vote against the passage of the Proposed SD-84 Area -Transit Zoning Code Rezoning so that we all can engage in a more collaborative process that protects the concerns and interests of the residents, the industrial property owners and businesses.

Use caution when opening attachments or links. Dear Mayor Amezcua and Members of the Santa Ana City Council, I am writing to urge the City Council to adopt a balanced and thoughtful approach to the Transit Zoning Code (TZC) amendments in order to resolve the longstanding issue of incompatible land uses, while honoring the code's original vision for transit-oriented development. The purpose of the TZC is to foster a walkable, mixed-use, and transit-connected urban environment that encourages public transportation, biking, and a higher quality of life. However, in its current state, the southern portion of the zone falls far short of this vision. Heavy industrial uses-many of which are incompatible with a residential, transit-oriented framework-have effectively walled off residents on 4th St such as Lacy Crossing from the nearby train station and newly constructed bike lanes. These uses generate noise, pollution, traffic, and safety hazards, and they discourage the use of active transportation, undermining the very goals the TZC was meant to achieve. Furthermore, industrial uses have been especially harmful to the Logan neighborhood, one of Santa Ana's most historic and culturally significant communities. Logan residents deserve the same environmental protections, connectivity, and investment in livability as those in other parts of the city. Instead, they bear the burden of nearby industrial operations that degrade their health, property values, and overall quality of life. I respectfully advocate for a compromise approach which I believe the proposed amendments mostly achieve: -Provide the city with the necessary legal and regulatory tools to remove bad actors-those businesses whose operations significantly impact public health, safety, or the environment, including the crematorium, the dump, and metal recyclers open to the public. -Ensure that responsible, low-impact businesses that contribute positively to the community, like Austin Hardwood and McCandless Tile, are not unfairly penalized or displaced. -Establish clear zoning restrictions that prevent future incompatible uses-such as metal recyclers, crematoriums, or waste transfer stations-from opening within the TZC. -Prioritize pedestrian infrastructure, green spaces, and clean air for the Lacy and Logan neighborhoods and ensure it benefits from the full promise of transit-oriented development. It is frustrating to see some business owners claim they care about the community, while at the same time demonstrating a striking ignorance of the city's planning efforts-many have admitted they were unaware that this zoning code update has been in progress for over a year and also did not even know the name of the council members making these decisions. Genuine community-mindedness requires active engagement, not just lip 1 Comment #5     City Council 24 – 699 6/3/2025 service. The residents of Santa Ana-especially those in impacted areas like Logan and Lacy-deserve more than indifference wrapped in platitudes. Santa Ana has a real opportunity to lead with equity, vision, and responsibility. A compromise that removes harmful industrial uses while supporting community-centered growth will not only uphold the spirit of the Transit Zoning Code, but will also protect the integrity of the Logan and Lacy neighborhoods and elevate the quality of life for all nearby residents. Thank you for your time and your commitment to making Santa Ana a more livable city.

Use caution when opening attachments or links. Mayor Amezcua and City Council, The SD-84 potential rezoning doesn't seem to be welcome to anyone other than gentrifying developers. From sitting in most of the meetings it appears the solution, if one is being strived for, is clear. Residents and long-standing businesses do not support the rezoning. The proposed "solution" is only going to make traffic and congestion issues worse, not improve the neighborhood. If industrial/commercial and residential cannot coexist, where does that leave the future of the city and Orange County in general? If pollution is the issue there's going to be far more traffic as we are already surrounded by four major freeways (clogged at one part of the day or another), a train station and Civic and Santa Ana, which are raceways many mornings and afternoons. Noise is not going to improve either. Developers will bring high density luxury multi-story units and thousands of additional residents -and traffic -right between 2 historic single-family neighborhoods. Most of them will leave for the day for other jobs as the "work from home" era dies a slow death. It would be best if the city managed the exceptions. Manage the bad actors and truly noxious businesses, like other cities do and have done. We ask that you remove the M-2 overlay --allowing the M-1 Light Industrial to remain -and converting current M-2 properties to M-1. This was done successfully in LA County. Not doing so sets a bad precedent for potential future business investment in your city. Shutting down long-standing businesses is not the popular answer. Hopefully you will consider your constituents over developers. Regards, Comment #6     City Council 24 – 701 6/3/2025 CONTROL PRODUCTS. INC.

If the Council approves the recommended action, the Ordinances will return to City Council on June 17 to consider for adoption.     City Council 25 – 2 6/3/2025 Proposed Fiscal Year 2025-26 City Budget, Changes to the City’s Basic Classification and Compensation Plan, Changes to the Executive Management Team’s Classification and Compensation Plan, Uniform Schedule of Miscellaneous Fees, and the Seven-Year Capital Improvement Program June 3, 2025 Page 3 5 0 8 9 General Fund Summary The General Fund is the primary operating fund of the City and accounts for all unrestricted revenue. A summary of the proposed FY 2025-26 General Fund activity follows. A full reconciliation of changes from the revised FY2024-25 budget to the proposed FY2025-26 budget is included in Exhibit 1, on pages 2-5. City Council’s Budget and Reserve Policy requires a General Fund Reserve equivalent to 18% of annual recurring General Fund revenue. Staff estimates the General Fund Reserve at June 30, 2025 and June 30, 2026 will be compliant with the policy. As General Fund revenue changes throughout the fiscal year, so will the dollar amount of the reserve requirement. A summary of the proposed FY2025-26 General Fund budget identifying recurring and one one-time activity follows.     City Council 25 – 3 6/3/2025 Proposed Fiscal Year 2025-26 City Budget, Changes to the City’s Basic Classification and Compensation Plan, Changes to the Executive Management Team’s Classification and Compensation Plan, Uniform Schedule of Miscellaneous Fees, and the Seven-Year Capital Improvement Program June 3, 2025 Page 4 5 0 8 9 General Fund Ten-Year Outlook The Outlook is a tool that projects the future General Fund budget based on the proposed budget structure and known future events, such as the scheduled Measure X rate decrease. This Outlook includes the following assumptions: •Recurring amounts only •Debt pay-offs •Measure X rate decrease (1.5% to 1.0% in April 2019) •Inflationary increases FY26-27 and later, based on the California Department of Finance forecast of CPI •Labor increases based on MOU’s •Orange County Fire Authority (OCFA) contract increase of 4.5% annually •Employee pension unfunded liability contributions as estimated by CalPERS •Contributions to, and uses of, the Pension Stabilization Account have been included to smooth the pension debt fluctuations The model indicates that the General Fund budget structure will need to be adjusted in future years to remain balanced. For FY 2025–26, overall General Fund revenues are projected to increase by approximately 1%. In the following years, revenue growth is based on projections from the California Department of Finance. However, operating     City Council 25 – 4 6/3/2025 Proposed Fiscal Year 2025-26 City Budget, Changes to the City’s Basic Classification and Compensation Plan, Changes to the Executive Management Team’s Classification and Compensation Plan, Uniform Schedule of Miscellaneous Fees, and the Seven-Year Capital Improvement Program June 3, 2025 Page 5 5 0 8 9 costs are expected to rise faster than revenues due to factors such as negotiated salary and benefit increases for City staff, increases to construction costs, and the Orange County Fire Authority (OCFA) contract for fire services that can increase by up to 4.5% annually. In addition, CalPERS investment performance has frequently fallen short of expectations, leading to increased pension debt costs. A significant drop in revenue is also expected in 2029, when the Measure X sales tax rate is scheduled to decrease. Charter Requirement for Public Recreation Program Spending Santa Ana Charter Section 607 requires City Council to adopt a budget that provides the support of public recreation programs of at least the equivalent of six (6) cents on each one-hundred dollars ($100) of the assessed value of taxable property in the City on the legal assessment date for the previous fiscal year. The net taxable value of property for FY2024-25 was $35,876,022,849. When applying the calculation required by the Charter, the required expenditure budget for public recreation programs is $21,525,614. The proposed General Fund budget includes $15,249,460 for the Parks, Recreation, and Community Services Agency, $17,695,430 for the maintenance of parks and facilities, and $3,267,620 for youth services funded by Cannabis tax revenue. The proposed budget exceeds the Charter requirement by $14,686,896 or 68%. Citywide Budget The proposed FY 2025-26 Citywide Budget includes the General Fund as well as all other City funds, including those with internal and external restrictions. A summary of the Citywide Budget is provided below. The negative net activity reflects a proposed use of accumulated fund balances for one- time, non-recurring projects. Exhibit 1 provides detailed budget information for each individual fund.     City Council 25 – 5 6/3/2025 Proposed Fiscal Year 2025-26 City Budget, Changes to the City’s Basic Classification and Compensation Plan, Changes to the Executive Management Team’s Classification and Compensation Plan, Uniform Schedule of Miscellaneous Fees, and the Seven-Year Capital Improvement Program June 3, 2025 Page 6 5 0 8 9 Pension Stabilization Trust and Annual Prepayment of Unfunded Liability The proposed budget includes a $1 million General Fund deposit into the City’s Section 115 Pension Trust in FY 2025-26. The Trust was created to help fund future increases in pension debt payments. In addition, CalPERS requires the City to make an annual payment toward its Unfunded Actuarial Liability (UAL). The City has the option to either prepay the full amount by July 31 at a discounted rate or spread the payments evenly over 12 months. As in the past seven years, the City plans to prepay the UAL in July. The proposed budget includes this discounted prepayment. Annual Reporting of Goals, Key Performance Measures, and Department Highlights Each year, departments provide updates to their Strategic Goals, report on progress toward meeting Key Performance Measures, and highlight key accomplishments. These updates are summarized in Exhibit 2. Workforce Changes Proposed workforce changes include additions, deletions, and reclassifications of positions. Exhibit 1 on pages 24-31 details all of the proposed workforce changes to full- time staff. Two resolutions, the Classification and Compensation Resolution and the Executive Management Team Resolution include compensation adjustments to improve market parity, classification additions and deletions, and title changes. A summary of proposed workforce changes follows:     City Council 25 – 6 6/3/2025 Proposed Fiscal Year 2025-26 City Budget, Changes to the City’s Basic Classification and Compensation Plan, Changes to the Executive Management Team’s Classification and Compensation Plan, Uniform Schedule of Miscellaneous Fees, and the Seven-Year Capital Improvement Program June 3, 2025 Page 7 5 0 8 9 After factoring in additions, deletions and reallocations, the net increase to the Citywide budget is seven (7) full-time positions. The proposed changes are summarized by Department: •City Attorney: The City Attorney requests to add an Assistant City Attorney to support increased litigation and provide further support for the large volume of legal agreements, ordinances, and resolutions presented to City Council each year. To provide additional complex legal analysis support for the Rental Registry, two Deputy City Attorneys are being reallocated to add one Senior Assistant City Attorney. •City Manager: To support coordinated public outreach and engagement efforts, a Senior Graphic Artist position is being added and a Citywide Community Liaison position is being reallocated from the Public Works Agency to the City Manager’s Office. Together, these positions will form a new Communications Team within the City Manager’s Office. •Community Development: The Executive Director of Community Development requests to reallocate an Accountant II position, formerly assigned to Finance, with a Senior Office Assistant, which is better suited to support the Rental Registry program. A Senior Office Specialist is also requested in the Housing Authority to provide individualized support services to seniors and people with disabilities. •Finance and Management Services: The Acting Executive Director of Finance and Management Services requests to add an additional Customer Service Representative and a Senior Accounting Assistant. There is a net increase of zero because the Rental Registry Accountant II position moved to Community Development and was reallocated, and the ARPA funded Accountant II position is being deleted. The Customer Service Representative will provide specialized support to Business License taxation duties with an offsetting increase to revenue and the Senior Accounting Assistant will initially support Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) general ledger software implementation over a period of three years. •Library: The Executive Director of Library Services requests to add a Librarian for Young Adult Services to meet the ongoing increased demand for youth programs throughout the City. •Parks, Recreation, and Community Services: The Executive Director of Parks, Recreation, and Community Services is requesting to delete four positions previously tied to the California Department of Social Services program. A full-time Recreation Specialist is requested to focus solely on managing permits related to city events and city owned facilities, fully offset by the part-time budget. A Graphic Designer I position is being reclassified to Graphic Designer II as a housekeeping adjustment to align the title.     City Council 25 – 7 6/3/2025 Proposed Fiscal Year 2025-26 City Budget, Changes to the City’s Basic Classification and Compensation Plan, Changes to the Executive Management Team’s Classification and Compensation Plan, Uniform Schedule of Miscellaneous Fees, and the Seven-Year Capital Improvement Program June 3, 2025 Page 8 5 0 8 9 •Planning and Building: The Acting Executive Director of Planning and Building is requesting to add five positions in Code Enforcement and one Planning Technician position to reduce the average number of days spent reviewing housing units and commercial/industrial development projects. An additional Senior Building Inspector is requested to reduce delays and provide further capacity for reviewing permitted projects. The reallocations for Associate Plan Check Engineers are intended to promote recruitment and retention efforts for market parity. The other allocations are merely housekeeping adjustments to align position titles. •Public Works: The Executive Director of Public Works requests to delete four ARPA funded positions and reallocate several others. The three current incumbents are transitioning to other currently vacant positions, while the fourth will be deleted because it is not occupied. All other Workforce Changes are reallocations meant to address market disparity and/or or align position titles with the work currently being performed. The Principal Civil Engineer position, vacant since July 2022, is also proposed for deletion. Classification and Compensation Resolution The Human Resources Department, in collaboration with other departments, is requesting approval to update the City’s Classification and Compensation Plan. The requested changes include the creation of three new classifications, deletion of one classification, compensation adjustments for nine classifications, and title change for one classification. Each change is detailed in Exhibit 4. Executive Management Team Classification and Compensation Resolution The Human Resources Department recently completed a labor market survey of Executive Management Team (EMT) compensation rates. This survey revealed that many of EMT’s salary ranges are below the average of comparable agencies. The salary ranges need to be at market to effectively attract and retain EMT Members. With the exception of the Library Services Executive Director and Deputy City Manager positions, EMT salary ranges have not been updated since 2020. The resolution will adjust the ranges to within market and establish a consistent range for the Deputy City Manager and all Director positions: Chief Technology Innovations Officer, Executive Director of Community Development, Executive Director of Finance and Management Services, Executive Director of Human Resources, Executive Director of Parks, Recreation, and Community Services, Executive Director of Planning and Building Safety, Executive Director of Public Works, and Library Services Director. The requested change would also set the top of the salary range for the Police Chief between the cities of Irvine and Anaheim.     City Council 25 – 8 6/3/2025 Proposed Fiscal Year 2025-26 City Budget, Changes to the City’s Basic Classification and Compensation Plan, Changes to the Executive Management Team’s Classification and Compensation Plan, Uniform Schedule of Miscellaneous Fees, and the Seven-Year Capital Improvement Program June 3, 2025 Page 9 5 0 8 9 Assembly Bill 2561: Public Reporting of Vacant City Positions Assembly Bill 2561 (AB 2561), effective January 1, 2025, requires local public agencies in California to publicly report on job vacancies and outline efforts to improve recruitment and retention. To comply with this legislation, the City’s public hearing on AB 2561 will address the following: •Current status of vacancies •Efforts and strategies related to recruitment and retention •Identification of any policies, procedures, or activities that may pose obstacles in the hiring process, including changes to overcome those obstacles If a recognized City bargaining unit reaches or exceeds a 20% vacancy rate in its authorized full-time positions, that unit may request additional information, including vacancy details, compensation structures, and hiring process data. As of March 31, 2025, none of the City’s bargaining units meet or exceed the 20% threshold; therefore, no additional reporting is required at this time. Vacancy rates for each bargaining unit as of that date are provided below. Uniform Miscellaneous Fees Schedule The Miscellaneous Fee Resolution (Exhibit 6) includes various charges for City services provided for individual benefit, such as facility rentals, recreation program participation, and initial licensing for small cell installations. These fees are intended to recover the City’s cost of providing the related services and, in accordance with state law, do not exceed the actual cost of service delivery. The primary cost driver for these services is staff labor, which increases annually due to changes in employee compensation. Each year, staff compares the Consumer Price Index for All Urban Consumers (CPI-U) in the Los Angeles-Long Beach-Anaheim area to changes in employee compensation, which may include negotiated salary increases, step     City Council 25 – 9 6/3/2025 Proposed Fiscal Year 2025-26 City Budget, Changes to the City’s Basic Classification and Compensation Plan, Changes to the Executive Management Team’s Classification and Compensation Plan, Uniform Schedule of Miscellaneous Fees, and the Seven-Year Capital Improvement Program June 3, 2025 Page 10 5 0 8 9 increases, and rising benefit costs. As of December 31 2024, the CPI-U rose by 4.76%, which is consistent with the overall increase in employee compensation. Therefore, proposed fees have been increased for the upcoming year, with no additional catch-up increases for fees that were not increased in prior years. The FY 2025-26 Miscellaneous Fees Schedule identifies all fees assessed as well as proposed new fees, deleted fees, and those recommended for adjustment (Exhibit 7). The Schedule includes the following items: •Addition of twelve (12) new fees o 1 new fee in Community Development o 2 new fees in Planning and Building o 8 new fees in Parks, Recreation, and Community Services o 1 new fee in Public Works •Modification of fifteen (15) existing fees o 1 modified fee in Community Development o 3 modified fees in Planning and Building o 1 modified fee in the Police Department o 4 modified fees in Parks, Recreation, and Community Services o 6 Modified fees in Public Works •Deletion of twelve (12) fees that are no longer applicable o 1 deleted fee in Planning and Building o 11 deleted fees in Public Works If approved, all fee changes become effective July 1, 2025. Capital Improvement Program (CIP) As part of the annual budget development process, City Council adopts a seven-year spending plan that includes the proposed budget as the first year of the plan.

B.This document is known as the “Miscellaneous Fee Schedule” for Fiscal Year 2025-2026 and is on file at the City Clerk’s office, and incorporated by this reference. C.As part of approving the Miscellaneous Fee Schedule for Fiscal Year 2025- 2026, the various agencies of the City have analyzed the cost to administer the various programs, activities and applications for which the City imposes fees or service charges. D.On an annual basis, fees and related services associated with the Miscellaneous Fee Resolution are reviewed and adjusted to reflect the City’s costs in delivering the services. As of December 2024, the Consumer Price Index for All Urban Consumers (CPI-U) is 4.76% for the Los Angeles- Long Beach-Anaheim area. The City Council finds that the cost of providing the services set forth in the Miscellaneous Fee Schedule for FY 2024-2025 must increase by 4.76% for the FY 2025-2026 Miscellaneous Fee Schedule to reflect the compensation increase for City staff providing the services. Furthermore, each city department has confirmed that the actual cost of providing the service does not exceed the proposed fees for Fiscal Year 2025-2026. E.In a few limited circumstances, agencies have determined that the fee should be deleted; new charges should be added or modified; or, existing charges raised. Such charges are listed in the “Deleted Miscellaneous Fees’, ‘New Miscellaneous Fees’ and ‘Modify Existing Fees’, attached to the staff report submitted for this matter and made a part hereof by this reference. EXHIBIT 6     City Council 25 – 101 6/3/2025 Resolution No. 2025-xx Page 2 of 3 F.In order to have a single comprehensive document for Fiscal Year 2025- 2026, the majority of fees which are unchanged have simply been reprinted in the Miscellaneous Fee Schedule. The Council expressly states that it is not its intention to repeal previously adopted fees and adopt new fees of exactly the same amount, but is simply repeating these fees so that the Miscellaneous Fee Schedule can continue to be a comprehensive source of City fees and service charges. G.In each of these cases, the Council finds, determines and declares that such new or increased charges, fees or service charges do not exceed the City’s estimated reasonable cost to provide the pertinent service, process the specified application or administer the certain program for which the charge, fee or service charge is imposed. H.Based upon the testimony, reports and other evidence submitted on this matter, this City Council makes the above-specified findings. Section 2: The Miscellaneous Fee Schedule for Fiscal Year 2025-2026 is hereby adopted. Each fee or service charge set forth shall be levied until further resolution of this Council. Section 3: To the extent that any fee or service charge established pursuant to City Resolution No. 2024-026 are inconsistent with the fees or service charges established pursuant to this Resolution, then said Resolution No. 20 24-026 is hereby repealed. Section 4: If any charge, fee, service charge, section, subsection, sentence, clause, phrase or word of this Resolution is for any reason held to be invalid by a court of competent jurisdiction, such decision shall not affect the validity of the remaining portions of this Resolution. The City Council hereby declares that it would have passed and adopted this Resolution, and each and all provisions hereof, irrespective of the fact that one or more provisions may be declared invalid. Section 5: This Resolution shall be operative from and after July 1, 2025.

Therefore, the City is looking to generate revenue from groups using these spaces. 7. Overnight Youth Park Camping Existing Fee:None Proposed Fee: $480.00 per night PRCSA sees an opportunity at Thornton park.

PRCSA is removing the rate differentiation of whether the reservation exceeds 6 hours and will now only be a single fee for each group category. Additionally, detail is added to the fee names to better describe what is considered a minor, moderate and major event for this space. 2.Zoo Admission Existing Fee:Adult-$13 Child/Senior-$10 Friends of Zoo-Free SNAP Participants (Supplemental Nutritional Assistance Program)-$3 Proposed Fee: Adult-$14 Child/Senior-$11 Friends of Zoo-Free The Fiscal Year 2024-25 General Fund budget (including Measure X) for the Zoo is $4,493,910. The revised FY 2024-25 anticipated admission revenue is $1,578,000. An increase of $1 (for adult, child/senior) is estimated to bring in an additional $120,000, based on FY 2023/24 ticket sales. The sum of the amounts will not provide full cost recovery, but will assist in reducing the reliance on the General Fund. Additionally, Minor Event (0-99) Per Event 100.00 Moderate Event (100-250) Per Event 150.00 Major Event (251+) Per Event 200.00 146     City Council 25 – 253 6/3/2025 FY 2025-26 Proposed Modified Miscellaneous Fees the Museums for All fees were first implemented on 7/1/2024 with the intention of increasing access to the Zoo. Ticket sales at the zoo have decreased in almost exact correlation to the number of tickets under the Museums for All. This indicates that we are not expanding access to the zoo and increasing admission to those who did not have access before, but that attendees who would otherwise come and pay general admission are instead receiving admission at a discount. Thus, PRCSA is discontinuing the SNAP Participants admission. 3.Zoo Education Programs Existing Account: 53310 Proposed Account: 53312 Fee account is updated to match the correct account in Lawson. 4.Athletic Fields and Facilities Existing Fees: Fee Name Unit Group 1 City- Sponsored Group 2 Youth Non-Profit Organization (Youth Sports Coalition) Group 3 Resident Recreation Use Group 4 Resident Commercial (Profit- Making) Use Group 5 Non- Resident Recreation Use Group 6 Non- Resident Commercial (Profit-Making) Use Field Turf-Natural (No Admission Fee) Per Hour No Charge 5.00 10.00 39.00 40.00 41.00 Field Turf-Natural (Admission Fee) Per Hour No Charge 6.00 12.00 48.00 49.00 50.00 Field Turf-Synthetic (No Admission Fee) Per Hour No Charge 10.00 20.00 91.00 92.00 94.00 Baseball/Softball Field (No Admission Fee) Per Hour No Charge 5.00 10.00 29.00 30.00 31.00 Baseball/Softball Field (Admission Fee) Per Hour No Charge 6.00 12.00 35.00 36.00 37.00 147     City Council 25 – 254 6/3/2025 FY 2025-26 Proposed Modified Miscellaneous Fees Proposed Fees: Fee Name Unit Group 1 City- Sponsored Group 2 Youth Non-Profit Organization (Youth Sports Coalition) Group 3 Resident Recreation Use Group 4 Resident Commercial (Profit- Making) Use Group 5 Non- Resident Recreation Use Group 6 Non- Resident Commercial (Profit-Making) Use Field Turf-Natural (No Admission Fee) Per Hour No Charge 5.50 11.00 41.00 42.00 43.00 Field Turf-Natural (Admission Fee) Per Hour No Charge 6.50 13.00 50.00 51.00 52.00 Field Turf-Synthetic (No Admission Fee) Per Hour No Charge 11.00 21.00 95.00 96.00 98.00 Baseball/Softball Field (No Admission Fee) Per Hour No Charge 5.50 11.00 30.00 31.00 32.00 Baseball/Softball Field (Admission Fee) Per Hour No Charge 6.50 13.00 37.00 38.00 39.00 Fees are increased for Groups 2-3 while keeping Group 1 the same and Groups 4-6 at normal CPI increases.

A Capital Improvement project either installs a new asset or extends the useful like of an existing asset. Examples include the acquisition of land; construction, expansion, or major renovation of City infrastructure such as roads, buildings, storm drains, and parks. To qualify for the CIP, a project must have an estimated useful life of at least two years following the date of acquisition, meet the minimum dollar threshold criteria for capitalization AND meet one the following criteria: • • • New funding is appropriated to a new project Existing funding is reallocated to either an existing or new project Additional funding is appropriated to an existing project. This condition only applies if a project’s scope and budget are significantly different or expanded. Projects already funded, along with routine/ongoing capital purchases and minor maintenance projects are not always included in the CIP. CIP projects are reviewed for alignment with the City’ Five Strategic Priorities. Strategic Priorities ensure resources are properly distributed and services programmed to best serve our community. The development of these priorities emerged from City data, interviews with Councilmembers, collaboration with the executive management team and public input sessions. 1     City Council 25 – 266 6/3/2025 Along with the development of the Strategic Plan, CIP development, adoption and implementation of the CIP is an inclusive and transparent process. The community provides input and assists with the prioritization of projects via the Planning Commission, Sunshine Ordinance Budget Meetings, and various neighborhood forums. The Public Works Agency continuously identifies the City’s capital needs through the following assessment/evaluation programs and various master plans: • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • ADA Transition Plan Active Transportation Plan (ATP) Complete Street Plans Downtown/Central Santa Ana Complete Street Plans General Plan Hazard Mitigation Plan Local Signal Synchronization Plan (LSSP) Parks & Recreation Master Plan Pavement Management Program (PMP) Safe Mobility Santa Ana Safe Routes to School Plan Santa Ana Zoo Master Development Plan Storm Drain Master Plan (SMDP) Water, Sewer and Recycled Water Master Plans Water, Recycled Water and Sewer Rate Study King Street Urban Greening 2     City Council 25 – 267 6/3/2025 ꢀꢁWꢂZdDꢁEdꢃZK>ꢁ^ Community Development Agency (CDA) • Provides economic development services, job training, affordable housing, and downtown development • Administers a significant funding source of the annual CIP- the Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) Finance and Management Services Agency (FMSA) • Coordinates Operating/Capital Budget Calendar and annual budget development process • Compiles and edits Budget Book and CIP Documents (Operating and Capital) for City Council review and adoption • Ensures CIP information reconciles with Operating Budget Planning & Building Agency (PBA) • Developing General Plan • Implementing state and local construction codes • Planning and regulation of future land uses Public Works Agency (PWA) • Plans, designs, builds and repairs capital projects in the community, including infrastructure, right of way and utility systems utilizing various master plans as well as the Community's General Plan • CIP Engineering (and other PWA departments) submits PWA project requests into the Questica Capital Module • Administration Group reviews and approves funding in the Questica Operating Module • Reviews and approves other departments CIP project requests to ensure projects align with funding sources and City standards • Identifies and development CIP projects for 7 years, including unfunded projects • Utilizes Questica Capital Module to approve CIP projects as submitted to include in the annual CIP Book • Develop presentation for Community Budget Forums and City Council Meetings • Present proposed CIP Book to Planning Commission 3     City Council 25 – 268 6/3/2025 THIS PAGE INTENTIONALLY LEFT BLANK 4     City Council 25 – 269 6/3/2025 Preparing New Fiscal Year CIP Original Budget Before Original CIP Budget is Adopted Step 0 Step 1 Step 2 Step 3 Step 4 Step 5 Project Manager (PM) enters project in Questica according to User Project Manager (PM) promotes project in Questica to CIP Team Review.

Project budgets are tracked in the City’s financial system and are revised as the project evolves. Criteria for amendments generally include project additions and/or significant changes in a project’s scope and budget. PROJECT CATEGORIES This document is organized by classification of infrastructure or facility, with funded projects listed before unfunded projects. Funded project descriptions include detailed information such as maps, timelines, project cost estimates, recurring maintenance costs, and estimated useful life. Unfunded project descriptions may include only basic information such as general location and potential cost ranges. For each category of infrastructure and facility, the City periodically updates a long-term master plan. Examples include the Pavement Management Program, the Parks Master Plan, and the Water, Recycled Water, & Sewer Rate Study. These master plans outline recommendations for annual investment in the City’s capital assets, including identification and prioritization of specific improvement projects. CIP Projects fall into one of the four broad categories: 1. Streets- Street Improvements include projects designed to improve pavement conditions, sidewalks, and alleys. 2. Traffic – Traffic Improvements are designed to evaluate and decrease traffic collisions and congestion, identify and map safe routes to schools, and provide walkable and bikeable streets. 3. Utility/Drainage/Lighting- Utility, Drainage and Lighting Improvements ensures that projects support the continued delivery of water and sanitary sewer services to the City’s customers, addresses the aging storm drain system and reduces stormwater runoff. 4. City & Park Facilities- The City is responsible for identifying deferred maintenance and capital projects to support new facilities in addition to existing City facilities such as City Hall, Ross Annex, forty-six (46) parks, (3) urban plazas, five (5) community centers, two (2) recreation centers, two (2) senior centers, ten (10) fitness courts, seven (7) recreation trails, five (5) municipal swimming pools, five (5) community gardens, two (2) log cabins, four (4) skate parks, two (2) lakes, one (1) tennis center, one (1) stadium and operation of the Santa Ana Zoo. 8     City Council 25 – 273 6/3/2025 C o u n c i l Wa r d Wa r d 1 Wa r d 2 E?u Wa r d 3 Wa r d 4 Wa r d 5 Wa r d 6 ìE Bro I a m d p way MultModal Ma g i e n w Rehab: Ed ood-MemoryìEMemory/Mainplace MultModal Imp 3B 1 r 7 o t adwa y Fairview Imp:Rehab: 1 7th-Trask h-Mainplace 1 7th R eh ab: Cabrillo-CL17TH ST !"^$Clin ton Rehab: 5 1 7th Rehab:En d-Westminster Grand-Cabrillo CivicFairviewRaittRehab:Rehab:Bridge &St Imp Civic-Wash in gton Min ter-San tiago 5th Rehab:Grand R eh ab :SAGSFairview-Ra itt 1 st-Santa Ana Broadway R eh ab : 1 Bish op-1 st1ST ST 1ST ST Stan dard Ave1ST ST 1 st Traffic Safety 1 st Rehab:WideningEuclidLightImp Grand-Tustin Rehab: 2 McFadden-1 st B Cypr s FirTSPBC Raitt Reh ab: 6 McFadden-1 st In dustrial St Repair Pgrm S n y g n S t o h c Turf Dan EDINGER AVBr g ist a o l lYoucerTraffic Si n Sync E?sCedarRehab:C l O D ccidental-Edin gerPL Warn er Imp: Ph2 -O ak-G ran d S 4 Dye -

Various replacement pavement strategies will be investigated to determine the most cost effective and maintainable treatment. Minor concrete repair to severely damaged or missing curbs, gutters, sidewalks, and wheelchair ramps will also be included. The interior roadway of non-residential street has been identified as priority by the City's Pavement Management System. The pavement is deteriorating due to weather, age, and heavy usage. The area around Majestic, MacArthur Place, and Columbine is home to a vital business community that contributes to the local economy. However, deteriorating road conditions have made it difficult for businesses to attract new tenants, resulting in lost leasing opportunities and limiting economic growth.

Additionally, the Fairview Street Bridge would be replaced with a new six-lane bridge (three lanes in each direction), including a complete bridge deck with barrier rails, separated shared sidewalk and bicycle lane, raised median, and lighting. Fairview Street is currently a four-lane undivided arterial between 9th Street and 16th Street. This segment of Fairview Street currently carries 38,544 vehicles per day (VPD) and has a volume to capacity of (V/C) ratio of 1.03. At this V/C ration, this roadway segment operates at an unacceptable level of service. LOS F exists where the traffic stream is extremely difficult. With the proposed improvements, this roadway segment will improve to acceptable LOS B.

The project will include the removal and replacement of existing asphalt streets. Various replacement pavement strategies will be investigated to determine the most cost effective and maintainable treatment. Minor concrete repair to severely damaged or missing curbs, gutters, sidewalks, and wheelchair ramps will also be included. The interior roadway of non-residential street has been identified as priority by the City's Pavement Management System. The pavement is deteriorating due to weather, age, and heavy usage.PROJECT CATEGORY: Street Improvements Local Street Resurfacing LOCATION MAP PROJECT COSTS Construction FY 25/26 2,710,000 147,800 FY 26/27 FY 27/28 FY 28/29 FY 29/30 FY 30/31 FY 31/32 - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Engineering TOTAL 2,857,800 SOURCE OF FUNDS FY 25/26 FY 26/27 FY 27/28 FY 28/29 FY 29/30 FY 30/31 FY 31/32 GENERAL FUND OTHER 250,000 2,607,800 2,857,800 - - - - - - - - - - - - TOTAL AGENCY:DIVISION:CONTACT: Public Works CIP Engineering Jason Gabriel, Principal Civil Engineer 29     City Council 25 – 294 6/3/2025 CITY OF SANTA ANA FY 25/26CIP CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT PROJECT WORKSHEET PROJECT TITLE: Local Street Preventative Maintenance PROJECT DESCRIPTION: This project provides for the application of crack seal and slurry seal to various streets citywide with minor coldmill and removal and replacement of asphalt concrete pavement.

The system connects to an existing 8’ x 10’ storm drain box at Grand Avenue north of Dyer Road. The proposed storm drain system will consist of a 4’ x 8’ catch basin, 2 - 12” reinforced concrete pipes (RCP), a junction structure, and an 18” RCP. The existing storm drain system has sustained significant damage from corrosion limiting its ability to manage storm water runoff in the area. This increases the risk of local flooding, which can disrupt traffic flow and cause further damage to surrounding properties and roadways.PROJECT CATEGORY: Utility/Drainage/Lighting Improvements Storm Drain/Water Quality LOCATION MAP PROJECT COSTS FY 25/26 450,000 450,000 FY 26/27 FY 27/28 FY 28/29 FY 29/30 FY 30/31 FY 31/32 Engineering ------ TOTAL ------ SOURCE OF FUNDS FY 25/26 450,000 450,000 FY 26/27 FY 27/28 FY 28/29 FY 29/30 FY 30/31 FY 31/32 DAF: DA-3 ------ TOTAL ------ AGENCY:DIVISION:CONTACT: Public Works CIP Engineering Marc Canta, Senior Civil Engineer 60     City Council 25 – 325 6/3/2025 PROJECT CATEGORY: CITY AND PARK FACILITY IMPROVEMENTS Proposed FY2025-26 Planned Projects Years 2-7Project Title Bristol & Tolliver Park - Basketball Court Cypress Fire Station Improvements Lillie King Park - Basketball Court Synthetic Turf Dan Young Soccer Complex 291,000 3,500,000 200,000 - - - -320,000 City & Park Facility Improvement Totals 4,311,000 - George Upton All Access Park 61     City Council 25 – 326 6/3/2025 THIS PAGE INTENTIONALLY LEFT BLANK 62     City Council 25 – 327 6/3/2025 CITY OF SANTA ANA FY 25/26CIP CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT PROJECT WORKSHEET PROJECT TITLE: Bristol & Tolliver Park - Basketball Court PROJECT DESCRIPTION:PROJECT NEED: This project will enhance recreational opportunities for the community.The Bristol Specific Plan designated the parcel on the corner of Bristol Street and Tolliver Street as park land.

The list below is not an exhaustive list and is not listed according to priority. Projects identified where no current funding exists are categorized as unfunded. To date, the City has completed assessments of its streets, alleys, sidewalks, parks, storm drains, pump stations, and City-owned fleet and facilities. This report only includes priority projects with identified estimated costs. Dollar amounts represent estimates and are subject to change. Projects are added to this report once estimated scopes and budgets are developed. 67     City Council 25 – 332 6/3/2025 One-Time AmountProject Name Project Description Unfunded Priority Projects Street Improvements Arterial/Local Street Rehabilitation The City utilizes a Pavement Management Program (PMP) to plan, budget, fund, construct, maintain, and rehabilitate the City’s pavement network to provide maximum benefits with available funds. The PMP is guided by regularly recurring evaluations every two years assessing the conditions of the pavement network based on surveyed pavement structural integrity, roughness, and surface distress. Each surveyed roadway is assigned a Pavement Condition Index (PCI) score. The City’s latest PMP was updated in May 2024 to assess condition of City roadways with an average (PCI) score of 76.3 out of a possible 100. The City's PMP is currently being updated for 2026's assessment. 17th St: Grand Ave to Deodar St 17th St: Grand Ave to Cabrillo Park 17th St: Cabrillo Park to City Limit Bristol St Rehab - Santa Clara to Memory Euclid St Rehab - S City Limits to McFadden Euclid St Rehab - McFadden to 1st Euclid St Rehab - 1st to Hazard Broadway Ave Rehab - 17th to Mainplace Broadway Ave Rehab - Bishop to 1st Main Rehab - Edgewood to Memory Saddleback View 2,311,000 8,344,600 4,118,400 1,240,000 5,276,000 5,606,000 5,753,000 2,769,000 1,218,000 2,741,900 728,000 Pacific Park French Court 3,536,000 3,741,000 68     City Council 25 – 333 6/3/2025 Major Infrastructure Improvements Projects Grade separation will alleviate the current and potential traffic impacts and hazards posed by the existing at-grade rail crossing at Santa Ana Blvd. and OCTA Metro link RR.

The Sidewalk and Non-Motorized Connectivity Plan improves sidewalks and ADA curb ramps. The Vision Zero Plan focuses on reducing severe traffic collisions with safety upgrades on key streets. The Citywide Safe Routes to School (SRTS) Plan aims to improve access to schools. The Active Transportation Plan, approved in 2019, supports biking and walking infrastructure with 35 bikeway projects. Both the Downtown and Central Santa Ana Complete Street Plans prioritize corridor improvements for non-motorized travel. Together, these initiatives reflect the city's commitment to inclusive, safe, and sustainable transportation options.

The LSSP establishes the needs for a well-maintained and synchronized traffic signal network to reduce traffic congestion and provide safe and efficient traffic movements in the City. The objective of the LSSP and synchronization in particular is to reduce traffic delay, number of stops, fuel consumption and air pollution emissions and maximizing the traffic progression through the system while maintaining safety for all users. The LSSP provides an outlook of funding needs for projects that could be implemented if funding were available and candidate signal synchronization projects for a complete build out of the traffic signal system.

These intersections are evaluated based on federal and state criteria. The intersections that meet the criteria for new traffic signals or left turn signal installation are prioritized for funding. This allows the City to objectively fund the installation based on the needs of the intersection and the availability of City and grant funds. For traffic signals, the intersections are prioritized based on traffic volume, collisions, pedestrians, and the number of warrants met. For left turn signals, the intersections are prioritized based on traffic volume, collisions, delay for left turn traffic and the number of warrants met.

About 8,000 of these streetlights were purchased from Southern California Edison in 2020. Many of these streetlights are on old steel or wooden streetlight poles that need replacing due to corrosion or additional maintenance requirements. The city is conducting a Citywide Streetlight Master Plan to identify street lighting needs, deficiencies, and priorities. Many areas in the City have inadequate lighting or no lighting at all. There is a need for new streetlights citywide. The Citywide Streetlight Master Plan will identify areas that need new or additional streetlights but also provide citywide costs for new streetlights and required maintenance.

The assessment provides a framework for a corresponding end-of-life maintenance plan to include scheduled maintenance by component with estimated parts, labor, and overhead. It identifies expected remaining useful life, relative age, and lifecycle of components and recommends corrective action for all facility systems including, HVAC, plumbing, electrical, exterior closures, interior construction, roofing systems, structural, conveyance, and special construction systems. Although the City continues to preserve the integrity of municipal facilities with immediate patch/repairs for unfunded projects, the age and lifecycle of other critical facility components are failing and require annual investments to improve or maintain municipal facilities.

The upgrades recommended in the 2018 SDMP include numerous below-grade improvements, such as the installation of new storm drain pipes and substantially upsizing existing storm drain pipes. The analysis also identified alternative infrastructure options, such as low impact development that reduces the amount of stormwater runoff via the installation of pervious features and reduction of impervious areas. The updated SDMP helped assess existing infrastructure to better prioritize storm drain system upgrades.

One of the most effective methods in reducing pollution and improving water quality in our creeks, rivers, and beaches is the construction and implementation of regional, multi-benefit stormwater capture and treatment projects. Not only do these projects improve water quality via stormwater infiltration, they also increase local potable water supplies, reduce flooding, enhance aesthetics, respond to climate change, and increase recreational opportunities for the community. In FY 2024-25, the Public Works Agency also completed the Stormwater Project Master Plan, which identified optimal locations throughout the City to implement stormwater capture and treatment projects.
