16.Assembly Bill (AB) 686 requires local jurisdictions to take deliberate <br /> actions to explicitly address, combat, and relieve disparities to <br /> disadvantaged communities, such as Logan and Lacy neighborhoods, <br /> resulting from past patterns of segregation, disinvestment, and planning <br /> practices; and <br /> 17.The updated land use plan in the Land Use Element of the General Plan <br /> does not designate any properties within the TZC, including the Logan <br /> or Lacy neighborhoods, as industrial; rather, they are designated as <br /> varying intensities of District Center or Urban Neighborhood land use <br /> designations—both of which are inconsistent with industrial uses; and <br /> 18.There are pressing and growing code enforcement complaints <br /> stemming from the irreconcilable land use conflicts in the TZC. <br /> Specifically, in the Logan and Lacy neighborhoods, the City's Code <br /> Enforcement Division has investigated over 35 commercial and <br /> industrial properties in the past twelve months and currently has 16 <br /> active open cases that have been issued Notice of Violations and <br /> administrative citations for the following types of violations: illegal <br /> storage, land use, zoning, property and landscape maintenance, <br /> unpermitted work, business license, and certificate of occupancy. The <br /> close proximity of active open industrial cases during a short period of <br /> time is creating a public nuisance that is draining City resources and that <br /> is harming public health, safety, and general welfare of the TZC's <br /> existing and new residential neighborhoods from the concentration of <br /> open code enforcement cases nearby; and <br /> 19.In the Logan neighborhood, 52 industrial facilities (automotive, <br /> warehouse/storage, crematory, towing yards, construction) are <br /> presently near sensitive uses monitored by external regulatory agencies <br /> such as South Coast AQMD, Orange County Health Care Agency — <br /> Certified Unified Program Agencies (OC CUPA), Santa Ana Regional <br /> Water Quality Board (SARWQB), Orange County Fire Authority. <br /> Industrial facilities have caused significant pollution exposure to <br /> disadvantaged communities, including lead risk in soil and housing, <br /> diesel particulate matter from idling trucks, toxic release from facilities, <br /> traffic impacts, noise pollution, and airborne particulate matter or fine <br /> inhalable particles of 2.5 (PM2.5) microns or less in diameter. <br /> CalEnviroScreen reports higher environmental effects from active facility <br /> cleanup sites, hazardous waste facilities, and solid waste locations. <br /> Cumulative health impacts in the area include asthma, cardiovascular <br /> disease, and low birth weight, in this overburdened disadvantaged <br /> community factored by socioeconomic indicators of poverty, linguistic <br /> isolation, housing burden, and education; and <br /> Ordinance No. NS-3081 <br /> Page 44 of 49 <br />
