The City Council of the City of Santa Ana hereby finds, determines and declares as follows: A. The Parks, Recreation and Community Services Agency ("Applicant") is requesting approval of General Plan Amendment No. 2016-03 to amend the General Plan land use designation of City -owned properties located at 415 and 423 South Raitt Street from Low Density Residential (LR -7) to Open Space (0) and to update text portions of the City's Land Use Element to reflect this change in order to facilitate the construction of a future park. B. On September 30, 2016, pursuant to Senate Bill 18, the City mailed consultation letters to all tribes listed on the Native American Heritage Commission (NAHC) Tribal Consultation List and were given 90 days or until January 3, 2017 to consult with the City. The City consulted with three local tribes. C. The Planning Commission of the City of Santa Ana held a duly noticed public hearing on January 9, 2017. The Planning Commission recommended a continuance to provide additional information and that representatives from CDA & PRCSA be present. On January 23, 2017, the Planning Commission of the City of Santa Ana held a duly noticed hearing and voted to recommend that the City Council adopt a resolution approving General Plan Amendment No. 2016-03. D. On February 21, 2017, the City Council of the City of Santa Ana held a duly noticed public hearing to consider all testimony, written and oral, related to General Plan Amendment No. 2016-03, at which time all persons wishing to testify were heard, the project was fully considered, and all other legal prerequisites to the adoption of this Resolution occurred. E. General Plan Amendment No. 2016-03 has been filed to amend the General Plan to change the land use designation from Low Density Residential (LR -7) to Open Space (0). 1. The existing General Plan land use designation for the project area is Low Density Residential (LR -7), which allows residential developments of up to seven dwelling units per acre. In order to facilitate the future construction of a park, this land use designation needs to be changed to Open Space (0), which allows for the construction of parks, water channels, cemeteries and Resolution No. 2017-010 Page 1 of 9 other open space uses. 2. The creation of additional public open space or park area implements the City's Open Space, Parks and Recreation Element Goal 1 of providing sufficient open space to meet the recreational and aesthetic needs of the community. Furthermore the City's Land Use Element Goal 1 promotes for a balance of land uses to address basic community needs and Policy 1.7 calls for the support of open space in under -served areas, such as the project site. The change to an Open Space land use designation will provide an additional 45,911 square feet or 1.1 acres towards public parkland; assisting the City towards achieving its goal of a minimum two acres of public parkland per 1,000 resident population. F. The City Council has weighed and balanced the General Plan's policies, both new and old, and has determined that based upon this balancing that General Plan Amendment No. 2016-03 is consistent with the purpose of the general plan. Section 2. The City Council has reviewed and considered the information contained in the CEQA analysis prepared with respect to this project. The City Council has, as a result of its consideration of the record as a whole and the evidence presented at the hearing on this matter, determined that, as required pursuant to the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) and the State CEQA Guidelines, General Rule Exemption No. 2016-26 meets all requirements of CEQA. Section 3. The City Council of the City of Santa Ana after conducting the public hearing hereby approves General Plan Amendment No. 2016-03. The amendments to the Land Use Element are attached hereto as Exhibit "A" and incorporated herein by this reference as though fully set forth herein. This decision is based upon the evidence submitted at the above said hearing, which includes, but is not limited to: the Request for Council Action dated February 21, 2017, and exhibits attached hereto; and the public testimony, written and oral, all of which are incorporated herein by this reference. Section 4. This Resolution shall not be effective unless and until Ordinance No. NS -2913 (AA No. 2016-03) becomes effective. If said ordinance is for any reason held to be invalid or unconstitutional by the decision of any court of competent jurisdiction, or otherwise do not go into effect for any reason, then this resolution shall be null and void and have no further force and effect. Section 5. The applicant agrees to indemnify, hold harmless, and defend the City of Santa Ana, its officials, officers, agents, and employees, from any and all liability, claims, actions or proceedings that may be brought arising out of its approval of this project, and any approvals associated with the project, including, without limitation, any environmental review or approval, except to the extent caused by the sole negligence of the City of Santa Ana. Section 6. This decision rendered by the City Council of the City of Santa Ana is final and is subject to judicial review pursuant to California Code of Civil Procedure section 1094.6. The Planning and Building Agency shall give direct notice to the Applicant of the City Council's decisions and these findings.
