The City Council of the City of Santa Ana hereby finds, determines and declares as follows: A. In accordance with Sections 101.2 and 101.4 of the Santa Ana City Charter, on May 7, 2019, the City Council of the City of Santa Ana declared its intention to change the boundaries of Ward 3 to include a 24.78-acre area of land currently located in the County of Orange which is proposed to be annexed to the City of Santa Ana. The area proposed for annexation is shown on the map attached as Exhibit 1. B. At the May 7, 2019 Council meeting, there was no opposition raised regarding the change in the boundaries for Ward 3. C. The Clerk of the Council gave notice that on September 3, 2019, at 5:45 P.M. or as soon as possible thereafter, in the Santa Ana City Council Chambers, 22 Civic Center Plaza, Santa Ana, California, a public hearing will be held by the City Council at which time any and all persons interested in or objecting to the proposed change in ward boundaries described above may appear and be heard. Section 2. The City of Santa Ana hereby approves the change in ward boundaries for Ward 3 as shown on Exhibits 2 and 3. Section 3. In accordance with the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) and the State CEQA Guidelines, a categorical exemption will be filed for this project pursuant to section 15319. This Class 19 exemption applies to projects involving annexation of existing facilities and lots for exempt facilities such as public and private structures developed to the density allowed by the pre -zoning of the City. The proposed annexation area is developed to the density allowed by the current zoning or pre -zoning, with the extension of utility services having the capacity to serve only the existing facilities. Ordinance No. NS-2975 Page 1 of 6 More specifically, the proposed annexation will consist of the 24.78-acre parcels of land in its entirety that includes private residential and commercial structures as well as three vacant parcels of land that are located at the southwest section of the annexation area. As the annexation area is developed to the density allowed by both the current zoning of the County and the pre -zoning designations proposed by the City, and no new utility services are proposed for the existing structures within the annexation area as part of this project, the Class 19 exemption is applicable to this project. The City Council has, as a result of its consideration and the evidence presented at the hearings on this matter, determined that, as required pursuant to CEQA, a categorical exemption adequately addresses the expected environmental impacts of this project. On the basis of this review, the City Council finds that there is no evidence from which it can be fairly argued that the project will have a significant adverse effect on the environment therefore, it is categorically exempt from the requirement for the preparation of environmental documents. Based on this analysis, a Notice of Exemption for Environmental Review No. 2018-89 will be filed for this project. Section 4. If any section, subsection, sentence, clause, phrase or portion of this ordinance for any reason held to be invalid or unconstitutional by the decision of any court of competent jurisdiction, such decision shall not affect the validity of the remaining portions of this ordinance. The City Council of the City of Santa Ana hereby declares that it would have adopted this ordinance and each section, subsection, sentence, clause phrase or portion thereof irrespective of the fact that any one or more sections, subsections, sentences, clauses, phrases, or portions be declared invalid or unconstitutional.
