and Downtown neighborhoods, and was adopted by the City Council on <br /> June 7, 2010, and amended on July 16, 2019; and <br /> 2. Upon the initial adoption of the TZC in 2010, the General Plan of the City <br /> of Santa Ana was updated with new land use designations for the areas <br /> covered by the TZC to allow for new, mixed-use residential and <br /> commercial communities; and <br /> 3. The goals of the TZC are to provide a transit-supportive, pedestrian- <br /> oriented development framework to support the addition of new, and <br /> enhancement of existing communities through, transit infrastructure; to <br /> preserve and reinforce the existing character and pedestrian nature of <br /> the City by strengthening urban form through improved development <br /> and design standards; to encourage alternative modes of transportation; <br /> to provide zoning for the integration of new infill development into <br /> existing neighborhoods; to provide for a range of housing options; and <br /> to allow for the reuse of existing structures; and <br /> 4. Industrial uses were established within the Logan and Lacy <br /> neighborhoods in close proximity to sensitive land uses such as <br /> residences and schools prior to the adoption of the TZC, as far back as <br /> the late 19th century, predating modern zoning practices that take into <br /> account irreconcilable land use conflicts among variegated land uses; <br /> and <br /> 5. The TZC provides new mixed-use zoning for properties contained within <br /> its boundary while creating industrial overlay zones allowing properties <br /> being used as industrial uses at the time of its adoption to continue to <br /> be governed by industrial zoning districts until such time that properties <br /> were developed or improved to the mixed-use zones allowed by the <br /> TZC; and <br /> 6. Senate Bill (SB) 1000 went into effect in 2018, requiring local <br /> governments to identify environmental justice communities, called <br /> "disadvantaged communities", in their jurisdictions and address <br /> environmental justice in their general plans through facilitating <br /> transparency and public engagement in the planning and decision- <br /> making processes, reducing harmful pollutants and the associated <br /> health risks in disadvantaged communities, and promoting equitable <br /> access to health-inducing benefits such as healthy housing options; and <br /> 7. The City of Santa Ana completed a comprehensive update of its General <br /> Plan in April 2022; and <br /> 8. The Office of the Attorney General of the State of California was actively <br /> involved in ensuring Santa Ana's General Plan update complied with all <br /> aspects of SB 1000 prior to its adoption; and <br /> Ordinance No. NS-3081 <br /> Page 42 of 49 <br />
