RESOLUTION NO. 2020-____
A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF SANTA ANA
NOTIFYING THE ORANGE COUNTY AIRPORT LAND USE
COMMISSION AND THE STATE DIVISION OF AERONAUTICS OF THE
CITY’S INTENTION TO FIND THAT THE CITY OF SANTA ANA
COMPREHENSIVE GENERAL PLAN UPDATE, GOLDEN CITY BEYOND
(2045) IS CONSISTENT WITH THE PURPOSES OF THE STATE
AERONAUTIC ACT AND TO OVERRULE THE ORANGE COUNTY
AIRPORT LAND USE COMMISSION’S DETERMINATION THAT THE
PROPOSED GENERAL PLAN UPDATE IS INCONSISTENT WITH THE
2008 JOHN WAYNE AIRPORT ENVIRONS LAND USE PLAN
BE IT RESOLVED BY THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF SANTA ANA AS
FOLLOWS:
Section 1. The City Council of the City of Santa Ana hereby finds, determines
and declares as follows:
A. The City has prepared a comprehensive update to its existing General Plan. The
“Golden City Beyond: A Shared Vision” General Plan will guide the City’s
development and conservation for the next 25 years through 2045. The update
will provide long-term policy direction and communicate the vision, values, and
goals for the City’s physical development, fiscal and environmental sustainability,
and overall quality of life. The new General Plan will serve to identify areas of
opportunity and provide options to enhance development potential in key areas
of the City while ensuring the City’s compliance with recent State laws. The new
General Plan will also reflect updates to current conditions and input from the
general public, City staff, and other stakeholders.
B. Because the Project is an update to the City’s General Plan, Public Utilities Code
Section 21676(b) requires the City of Santa Ana to refer the proposed Project to
the Orange County Airport Land Use Commission (“ALUC”) for consistency with
the 2008 John Wayne Airport Environs Land Use Plan (“AELUP”).
C. At a duly noticed public hearing on October 15, 2020, the ALUC found the
proposed Project to be inconsistent with the AELUP.

D. As a final review authority on legislative acts, the City Council may, after a public
hearing, choose to overrule the ALUC decision with a two-thirds vote of the City
Council, if the City of Santa Ana makes specific findings that the proposed
project is consistent with the purposes of Public Utilities Code Sections 21670,
21676, and 21676.5. This two-step procedure requires the City Council to
conduct two public meetings. At least 45 days prior to the decision to overrule
ALUC, the governing body shall provide the ALUC and the State Division of
Aeronautics (“Caltrans”) a copy of the proposed decision to overrule along with
supportive findings. The ALUC and Caltrans may provide written comments to
the City Council within 30 days of receiving the proposed decision and findings.
If comments by the ALUC or Caltrans are not available within this time limit, the
City Council may act without them. The comments by ALUC and Caltrans are
advisory to the City Council. Should comments be received from the ALUC or
Caltrans, the City Council must include such comments in the public record of
any final decision to overrule ALUC. The second meeting shall be a public
hearing to make the specific findings that the proposed overruling is consistent
with the purposes stated in Public Utilities Code Section 21670.
E. The Council's adoption of this resolution is procedural and does not constitute the
proposed project's approval nor does it predispose the City's future action on the
project or the decision to overrule or not.
Section 2. The City Council finds that this Resolution is not subject to the California
Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) pursuant to Section 15061(b)(3) of the CEQA
Guidelines as the proposed action will not have a significant effect on the environment.
The proposed project will be independently reviewed and evaluated pursuant to CEQA.
Environmental Impact Report No. 2020-03 (SCH No. 2020020987) has been prepared
for the project as a whole and will be presented to the City Council for consideration,
along with the requested general plan amendment, at a future hearing date.
Section 3. The City Council directs staff to forward a letter to the ALUC and
Caltrans, indicating the City of Santa Ana’s intent to overrule the ALUC’s determination
that the Project is inconsistent with the 2008 John Wayne Airport Environs Land Use
Plan.
Section 4. The City Council directs staff to forward this resolution and the City’s
Proposed Findings of Fact (attached hereto as Exhibit A) to the ALUC and Caltrans, in
support of the City’s intent to overrule the ALUC’s determination that the Proposed
Project is inconsistent with the 2008 John Wayne Airport Environs Land Use Plan.
