d. Conflict with any applicable habitat conservation plan or natural community <br /> conservation plan? <br /> TZC EIR Conclusions <br /> • The Transit Zoning Code (SD 84A and SD 84B) area is not located within either a <br /> natural community plan or applicable habitat conservation plan. The Transit Zoning <br /> Code (SD 84A and SD 84B) area does not contain any critical or sensitive habitat. <br /> (DEIR Section 4.6.3: Effects Found to Have No Impact) <br /> • The Transit Zoning Code (SD 84A and SD 84B) would not result in conflicts of use. <br /> (Impact 4.7-1: Less Than Significant without mitigation) <br /> • The proposed Transit Zoning Code (SD 84A and SD 84B) would not physically divide <br /> an established community. (Impact 4.7-2: Less Than Significant without mitigation) <br /> • The proposed Transit Zoning Code (SD 84A and SD 84B) would conflict with the Santa <br /> Ana General Plan by adopting standards and land uses not currently allowed within the <br /> proposed Transit Zoning Code (SD 84A and SD 84B) area; however, as part of the <br /> proposed project, the General Plan would be amended to incorporate the proposed <br /> land uses and development standards. (Impact 4.7-3: Less Than Significant without <br /> mitigation) <br /> TZC EIR Mitigation Measures <br /> All impacts were below the level of significance and mitigation measures are not necessary nor <br /> recommended. <br /> Project Analysis and Conclusion <br /> The City determined that impacts related to conflicts with a natural community plan or <br /> applicable habitat conservation plan would have no impacts (DEIR Section 4.6.3: Effects <br /> Found to Have No Impact). Impacts related to incompatible land uses (Impact 4.7-1), potential <br /> to divide an established community (Impact 4.7-2), and conflicts with the Santa Ana General <br /> Plan (Impact 4.7-3)were below the level of significance and did not require mitigation. <br /> The proposed zoning ordinance amendments are consistent with various goals and policies of <br /> the Santa Ana General Plan, as required by Government Code Section 65860, by timely <br /> addressing current inconsistencies within an area of the City prioritized for addressing <br /> environmental justice and impacts were found to be less than significant. In effect, the <br /> amendments are necessary to address numerous policies of the General Plan that the current <br /> TZC is found to be inconsistent with, that without such amendments, will continue the path of <br /> irreconcilable land use patterns within the TZC area. Specifically, these policies include Policy <br /> LU-1.1 (Compatible Uses), Policy LU-2.4 (Cost and Benefit of Development), Policy LU-3.8 <br /> (Sensitive Receptors), Policy LU-3.9 (Noxious, Hazardous, Dangerous, and Polluting Uses), <br /> Policy LU-3.11 (Air Pollution Buffers), Policy LU-4.3 (Sustainable Land Use Strategies), Policy <br /> LU-4.6 (Healthy Living Conditions), Policy CM-3.2 (Healthy Neighborhoods), Policy EP-1.9 <br /> (Avoid Conflict of Uses), Policy EP-3.3 (Mitigate Impacts), Policy CN-1.5 (Sensitive Receptor <br /> Decisions), Policy CM-3.2 (Healthy Neighborhoods), and Policy HE-5.5 (Community Development), <br /> which are targeted at correcting past land use planning practices that have placed an <br /> unequitable environmental and health burden on certain neighborhoods now termed <br /> disadvantaged communities. <br /> January 2025 38 Environmental Analysis <br /> Resolution No. 2025-023 <br /> Page 46 of 65 <br />
