No. 2003-169 prepared with respect to this Project. It is determined that, as required
pursuant to the California Environmental Quality Act ("CEQA") and the State CEQA
Guidelines, a negative declaration 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. The City Council hereby certifies and approves the negative
declaration and directs that the Notice of Determination be prepared and filed with the
County Clerk of the County of Orange in the manner required by law.
Pursuant to Title XIV, California Code of Regulations ("CCR") §735.5(c)(1), the
City Council has determined that, after considering the record as a whole, there is no
evidence that the proposed project will have the potential for any adverse effect on
wildlife resources or the ecological habitat upon which wildlife resources depend. The
proposed project exists in an urban environment characterized by paved concrete,
roadways, surrounding buildings and human activity. Therefore, pursuant to Fish and
Game Code §711.2 and Title XIV, CCR §735.5(a)(3), the payment of Fish and Game
Department filing fees is not required in conjunction with this project.
Section 3. The real property located at 3501 and 3511 West Sunflower Avenue
in Santa Ana is hereby reclassified from Light Industrial (M1) to Specific Development
No. 74 (SD-74). Amended Sectional District Map number 34-5-10, showing the above

Exhibit "A " and incorporated by this reference as though fully set forth herein.
Section 4. Specific Development No. 74 (SD-74) as attached to this Ordinance
is approved adopted in its entirety.
Section 5. If any section, subsection, sentence, clause, phrase or portion of this
ordinance is 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 anyone or more sections,
subsections, sentences, clauses, phrases, or portions be declared invalid or
unconstitutional.
