G. For these reasons, and each of them, AA No. 2025-02 is hereby found and determined to be consistent with the intent and purpose of Chapter 41 (Zoning) of the Santa Ana Municipal Code (SAMC), thus changing the zoning district is found to be consistent with the General Plan of the City of Santa Ana and otherwise justified by the public necessity, convenience, and general welfare. Section 2. The Amendment Application consists of amendments to the Zoning Map, as shown in Exhibit A, attached hereto and incorporated herein by reference. Section 3. In accordance with the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) and the CEQA Guidelines, an Initial Study and Mitigated Negative Declaration (IS/MND) and Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Program (MMRP) were prepared for the Project. The Initial Study concluded that implementation of the proposed zoning amendment and related Project approvals could result in potentially significant environmental impacts; however, with incorporation of the identified mitigation measures and compliance with applicable conditions of approval, all impacts would be reduced to a less-than-significant level. The City of Santa Ana is the Lead Agency for the project pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Section 15367. The IS/MND and MMRP were circulated for public review in accordance with CEQA requirements, and the City Council has independently reviewed and considered the environmental documentation prior to taking action on this ordinance. Based on the whole of the administrative record, including the IS/MND and MMRP, the City Council finds that the proposed Project will not have a significant effect on the environment with implementation of the adopted mitigation measures, and hereby certifies the IS/MND and adopts Project MMRP, attached hereto for reference as Exhibit B, in conjunction with approval of this ordinance. Ordinance No. NS-XXXX City Council 22 — 29 WA26
