9. As required by SB 1000, update of the General Plan and its associated <br /> land use plan identified and addressed long standing environmental <br /> justice issues throughout all its elements, which include 77 <br /> implementation actions aimed at reducing harmful pollutants and <br /> associated health risks in disadvantaged communities; and <br /> 10.Numerous policies of the General Plan are inconsistent with the present, <br /> irreconcilable land use pattern of the TZC. Specifically, these policies <br /> include Policy LU-1.1 (Compatible Uses), Policy LU-2.4 (Cost and <br /> Benefit of Development), Policy LU-3.8 (Sensitive Receptors), Policy <br /> LU-3.9 (Noxious, Hazardous, Dangerous, and Polluting Uses), Policy <br /> LU-3.11 (Air Pollution Buffers), Policy LU-4.3 (Sustainable Land Use <br /> Strategies), Policy LU-4.6 (Healthy Living Conditions), Policy CM-3.2 <br /> (Healthy Neighborhoods), Policy EP-1.9 (Avoid Conflict of Uses), Policy <br /> EP-3.3 (Mitigate Impacts), Policy CN-1.5 (Sensitive Receptor <br /> Decisions), Policy CM-.2 (Healthy Neighborhoods), and Policy HE-5.5 <br /> (Community Development), which are targeted at correcting past land <br /> use planning practices that have placed an unequitable environmental <br /> and health burden on certain neighborhoods now termed disadvantaged <br /> communities; and <br /> 11.The industrial overlay zones in the TZC perpetuate past planning <br /> practices of locating industrial uses, or other noxious and unwanted <br /> uses, in close proximity to communities of color; and <br /> 12.The Logan neighborhood is the oldest Mexican and Mexican American <br /> neighborhood in Santa Ana and one of the oldest in Orange County, and <br /> one of the few places where Mexicans and those of Mexican descent <br /> were allowed to buy land due to restrictions and covenants based on <br /> race during the first half of the 20th century; and <br /> 13.The construction of Santa Ana (1-5) Freeway through Santa Ana in the <br /> 1950s resulted in many families being displaced through the demolition <br /> of single-family homes in the northeastern portion of the Logan <br /> neighborhood; and <br /> 14.In the 1970s, a proposed expansion of an arterial highway along Civic <br /> Center Avenue would have demolished a significant portion, if not all, of <br /> the Logan neighborhood; and <br /> 15.The Logan and Lacy neighborhoods are within the second and third <br /> highest scored census tracts in Santa Ana, each with a composite score <br /> of 90 percent or greater, ranking in the 90th percentile or greater of <br /> census tracts in the State, and identified as "disadvantaged <br /> communities" by the Office of Environmental Health Hazard Assessment <br /> (OEHHA) in its CalEnviroScreen model; and <br /> Ordinance No. NS-3081 <br /> Page 43 of 49 <br />
