guidelines mandated by the federal government for eligibility , as well as a shortage of properties for sale at affordable prices. As a result, many applicants find it challenging to meet the qualifications.

Residential Rehabilitation Grant Program
The City’s Residential Rehabilitation Grant Program (Residential Rehabilitation Program) is designed to improve and preserve affordable housing through the use of federal Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) funds. The Residential Rehabilitation Program is administered by Habitat for Humanity of Orange County (Habitat for Humanity) on behalf of the City. The Residential Rehabilitation Program provides grants of up to $25,000 for eligible home repairs for low -income homeowners at or below 80% of the Area Median Income (AMI) , as defined by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD). Eligible activities include the repair, replacement, and/or installation of major systems including plumbing, heating, electrical, windows, roof, paint, and handicap accessibility.

The program's funding for FY 2023-24 was reauthorized by the City Council on May 2, 2023. Unfortunately, the City currently lacks available funds to process further applications. As depicted in Table 1, there have been no inquiries or applications sent, received, or approved. As of March 31, 2024, the City has received a total of 15 applications, with 10 granted approval for rehabilitation projects, and 1 project has been completed.

Down Payment Assistance Program
The City evaluates applicant eligibility and oversees the underwriting process for its Down Payment Assistance Program (DPAP), ensuring compliance with program guidelines and requirements. Throughout this quarter, staff conducted various outreach and educational activities on the program, including:
• Participated in NeighborWorks Orange County ’s (NeighborWorks OC) “Homebuyer 101 + City DPA ” monthly meeting on January 9, February 13, and March 12, 2024. These 1.5-hour sessions, held from 5:45 PM to 7:00 PM, provided essential guidance for entry-level homebuyers, covering topics such as budgeting, credit, lending, and other homeownership-related matters. • Involved in NeighborWorks OC's 8-hour, HUD-approved, “Homebuyer Education” courses on January 20, February 10, and March 9, 2024.

As of the end of this quarter, the principal balance is $149,661,396. This portfolio is comprised of 343 loans, of which 322 are deferred or residual receipt payment loans.

Compliance Monitoring
As part of the requirements for these loans, staff must monitor the owner -occupancy of single-family homes that have received loans, and the building code compliance of units in rental projects with long -term affordability covenants. During this quarter, 30 owner- occupancy recertification letters were mailed and 1 6 were returned and processed. This number includes lett ers sent from previous months. Staff also conducted a total of 242 inspections during this quarter.

Density Bonus Agreements
Under the California Density Bonus law, developers proposing five or more residential units can seek incentives or concessions in exchange for providing on- site affordable units. To facilitate the feasibility of constructing these on- site affordable units, the law permits developers to request up to three incentives/concessions and an unlimited number of waivers. These waivers entail variances from development standards aimed at ensuring project feasibility without imposing an undue burden or compromising public health. As shown in Table 4, the City of Santa Ana has entered into the following Density Bonus Agreements as of the end of this quarter:

Development Impact Fee Deferral Agreements
Development impact fees, mandated by the Mitigation Fee Act, are one- time charges levied on new developments to offset the impacts they generate, in compliance with California law. These fees are not intended to address pre-existing deficiencies but rather to mitigate the effects of development activities. They can only finance improvements benefiting new developments, with fees allocated based on a reasonable correlation between the development, fee size, and revenue use. Unlike taxes, development impact fees do not require voter approval and are commonly utilized by cities to address the impacts of new developments on infrastructure like schools, parks, and transportation.

Before issuing building permits, the City currently mandates the payment of various development impact fees. However, affordable housing developers have the option to request deferral of specific fees under California Government Code section 66007. Upon approval by City Council, the City and property owner enter into a Development Impact Fee Deferral Agreement, deferring applicable fees and placing a lien on the property to secure payment. These deferred fees must be paid before the issuance of a certificate of occupancy or final building inspection. As shown in Table 5, the City has entered into the following outstanding Development Impact Fee Deferral Agreements awaiting payment as of the reporting date:

Affordable Housing Development Projects
Currently, there are six (6) affordable housing projects under construction, and two (2) affordable projects in pre-development. Below is a concise overview and status update for each project. Exhibit 3 provides a development timeline for each project . The most recent Request for Proposals (RFP) for Affordable Homeownership Opportunities was issued on October 19, 2023. Initially, the review deadline was set for December 15, 2023, but the deadline was extended to May 1, 2024 following City Council approval.

Projects Under Construction
Estrella Springs (1108 N. Harbor) (Formerly called North Harbor Village) Developer Jamboree Housing Corporation
Description Acquisition and rehabilitation of a former motel yielding 89 units of permanent s
upportive housing.

City / Authority

completion. Stucco work and mural are completed. All plans are approved by City.

Completion is anticipated for April 2024 for Building C followed by Building A and then Building B with Temporary Certificates of Occupancy (TCO) requested in phases in April/May and COO by June/July 2024.

Archways Santa Ana (2530 Westminster Ave.) (Formerly called Westview House) Developer Community Development Partners with Mercy House as the service provider Description
New construction of an affordable multifamily apartment development consisting of 84 u
nits of both large family and PSH units and one (1) manager’s unit. Twenty-six of the units will be funded by Mainstream Program PBVs and Mental Health Services Act (MHSA) funds through the No Place Like Home (NPLH) program.

City / Authority
Funds
Inclusionary Housing ($1,514,113), HOME Investment Partnerships Program (
$2,003,705), Rental Rehabilitation Program ($386,523), and twenty-six (26) Mainstream Program PBVs
Update
Southern California Edison’s (SCE) i nitial power design for the building contained errors, requiring a redesign. This process lasted eight (8) weeks and delayed SCE's ability to energize the building, consequently pushing the expected Temporary Certificate of Occupancy (TCO) to July. The development team is actively pressuring SCE to expedite the power provision process, as construction of both the buildings and site will be completed by the end of April, pending power availability.

Although there is optimism regarding an earlier TCO, this will only be confirmed once SCE initiates their work in the coming weeks. Despite the delays, lease-up and marketing activities were initially halted but have since resumed.

Description
New construction of a 100% affordable multifamily apartment complex consisting of 85 u

Update
The interior work for the majority of units in both buildings has been finalized.

However, outstanding tasks remain, including exterior finishes, site work, energizing, off-sites, and inspections. Delays have occurred due to issues with SCE.

The project is anticipated to receive TCOs by mid-June and Certificates of Occupancy (COO) by the end of June. Property management is actively reaching EXHIBIT 1

TOPIC: Ten-Day Written Report Pursuant to California Government Code Section 65858(d) Following the Adoption of Urgency Interim Ordinance No. NS-3063

AGENDA TITLE
Ten-Day Written Report Pursuant to California Government Code Section 65858(d) Following Adoption of Urgency Interim Ordinance No. NS-3063, a 45-day Moratorium on the Approval, Commencement, Establishment, Relocation, or Expansion of Industrial Uses within Specific Development No. 84

RECOMMENDED ACTION
Issue and file a Council report to the public, pursuant to Section 65858(d) of the California Government Code, describing the City’s measures to alleviate conditions that led to the adoption of Urgency Interim Ordinance No. NS-3063, on April 16, 2024, regarding a 45-day moratorium on the approval, commencement, establishment, relocation, or expansion of industrial uses within Specific Development No. 84 (the Transit Zoning Code).

GOVERNMENT CODE §84308 APPLIES: No

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Pursuant to Section 65858(d) of the California Government Code, the purpose of this staff report is to provide a written report no less than ten days prior to the expiration of Urgency Interim Ordinance No. NS-3063 describing the measures City staff has taken to alleviate the condition which led to the adoption of the Ordinance.

On April 16, 2024, the City Council adopted Urgency Interim Ordinance No. NS-3063, which establishes a 45-day moratorium on the approval, commencement, establishment, modification, relocation, or expansion of industrial uses in Specific Development No. 84, also known as the Transit Zoning Code (commonly referred to as the “Transit Zoning Code” or “TZC”) while City staff researches appropriate regulations and determines whether an extension pursuant to the Government Code is necessary.

Urgency Interim Ordinance No. NS-3063 shall have no further force and effect 45 days from the date of its adoption, unless, after a report on the first 45 days and a public hearing, the City Council members, again by four/fifths (4/5) vote, extend the Ordinance

for an initial extension period of ten (10) months and fifteen (15) days. Based on the adoption date of April 16, 2024, the Ordinance is scheduled to expire on June 1, 2024.

As City staff begins to analyze and prepare an evaluation of industrial business uses within the TZC, the evaluation will enable staff to generate recommendations to the Planning Commission and City Council to determine whether further, permanent action is necessary. Such action may entail a zoning map amendment, zoning text amendment, or both, which would address industrial land uses in the TZC.

DISCUSSION
Background
On April 16, 2024, the City Council adopted Urgency Interim Ordinance No. NS-3063 to immediately offer protection of public health, safety, and welfare from industrial uses significantly causing pollution burden to adjacent neighborhoods through the following conditions, including: code enforcement active cases; irreconcilable land use conflicts in the TZC; alarming air quality, noise, traffic, proximity to noxious use facilities, and public health concerns; and external regulatory agency responsiveness. During the urgency interim moratorium period, the City will not issue permits that result in the approval, commencement, establishment, modification, relocation, or expansion of industrial uses in the TZC.

Measures Taken
Review of City Department Activities
Immediately following the adoption of the 45-day moratorium, staff conducted an interagency meeting, which included representatives from multiple City departments.

These departments include the Planning Division, Building Safety Division, Code Enforcement Division, Business License, and Information Technology. Moreover, engagement with additional agencies such as the Police Department, Public Works Agency, and the Community Development Agency’s Economic Development Division has produced critical information illustrating the extent to which industrial activities are intertwined with residential land uses in the TZC area, specifically and most concentrated in the Logan and Lacy neighborhoods.

Data based on Business License and Economic Development records indicate that the application of Urgency Interim Ordinance No. NS-3063 affects up to 130 industrial businesses in the TZC. Of these, over one-dozen have active applications for permits, the majority of which are to legalize unpermitted work on industrial properties and address ongoing Code Enforcement Division notices of violation.

City staff continues to gather, review, and analyze information regarding affected industrial businesses within the TZC. Specific data and reporting pertains to applications submitted by industrial businesses for permits, entitlements, certificates of occupancy, business licenses, and other relevant records immediately prior to and following the adoption of the Urgency Interim Ordinance and currently being reviewed by City staff.

Requests for information on calls for service and incident activities responded to by public safety departments of the Santa Ana Police Department and Orange County Fire Authority (OCFA) are being reviewed by City staff to understand and validate public safety concerns or impacts shared by neighbors in disadvantaged communities with actual calls and emergencies reported.

In addition, City staff continues to monitor Code Enforcement Division activities and implementation of the City’s Noxious Uses Ordinance pertaining to these facilities. Code Enforcement staff will broaden data reports that show enforcement activity beyond the Lacy and Logan neighborhoods within the TZC, where at the time of adoption of the Urgency Interim Ordinance on April 16, 2024, 17 active open cases were issued Notice of Violations and administrative citations for the following types of violations: illegal storage, land use, zoning, property and landscape maintenance, unpermitted work, business license, and certificate of occupancy. Such violations include issues of odors, dust, traffic, noise, vibrations, and other documented impacts. The close proximity of active open industrial cases during a short period is creating a public nuisance that is harming public health, safety, and general welfare of the two residential neighborhoods from the concentration of open code enforcement cases nearby.

Review of Records and Activities of External Agencies
To broaden the analysis beyond the City's local land use impacts, City staff have initiated public records requests of violation records and violation status of outside regulatory agencies, and have contacted staff from external regulatory agencies such as the South Coast Air Quality Monitoring District (SCAQMD), Santa Ana Regional Quality Water Control Board, the Department of Toxic Substances Control, and others responsible for issuing supportive permits for industrial uses in the TZC. Specifically, these agencies are responsible for permit issuance, compliance activities, and/or monitoring hazardous clean-up sites, or other industrial facility-related activities and have received current data requests for sites located within SD No. 84.

Data from external regulatory agencies would assist City staff in further understanding activities between external regulatory agencies and industrial businesses that may place additional impacts on public health, safety, and welfare in affected neighborhoods adjacent to industrial businesses in the TZC. This information would enable City staff to understand the correlation and environmental burdens that may be attributed to permitted activities for industrial businesses in historically environmentally disadvantaged communities, specifically the Logan and Lacy neighborhoods.

response to the City’s request, SCAQMD clarified the need to process the records request by larger geographic areas, not specifically matching the boundaries of the TZC. When reports become available to the City, additional time will be needed for City staff to carefully review and analyze other internal data to understand all activities (internal and external) and affected industrial businesses.

Comprehensive Zoning Code Update and Neighborhood Engagement City staff continues to work with Project Consultant Moore, Iacofano, Goltsman, Inc. (MIG) to ensure the City’s Zoning Code and General Plan are consistent and, to maintain compliance with state law, comprehensive amendments to the Zoning Code are required.

MIG and City staff have already conducted extensive community outreach, stakeholder interviews, and reviews of existing zoning-related codes and policies in Santa Ana. These early efforts have indicated that the irreconcilable land use conflicts and land use inconsistencies in the TZC area are among the top, most pressing topics that must be addressed as part of the comprehensive Zoning Code Update process in order to protect the health, safety, and welfare of the most vulnerable communities that face the impacts of the land use conflicts within the TZC area.

City staff from the Neighborhood Initiatives and Environmental Services (NIES) section of the Planning Division will continue to coordinate with City departments, external regulatory agencies, and staff from other federal and state agencies to identify additional resources available to enhance deeper awareness of pollution exposure in disadvantaged communities, long-term health effects, and immediate solutions. The NIES team has held meetings and discussions with staff from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention/Agency for Toxic Substances and Disease Registry and CalEPA Environmental Justice Team to identify opportunities for linking environmental justice (EJ) resources and support to the Logan and Lacy neighborhoods. In addition, the NIES team has been working with the residents selected to represent the City’s EJ Clusters to complete the formation of the EJ Action Committee, the community-led EJ advocacy group, to guide the prioritization and resource investments to implement the City’s General Plan EJ Policies and Implementation Actions.

Next Steps
Staff implements the 45-day moratorium established by Urgency Interim Ordinance No.

NS-3063 through ongoing interagency coordination. Moreover, staff will continue to analyze and prepare an evaluation of industrial business uses within the TZC, which will enable staff to generate recommendations to the Planning Commission and City Council to determine whether an extension of the 45-day moratorium is recommended.

If an extension is recommended, it would be placed on the May 21, 2024 City Council agenda as a public hearing item, which is prior to the June 1 expiration date.

WHEREAS, MIG and City staff have conducted extensive community outreach, stakeholder interviews, and reviews of existing zoning -related codes and policies in Santa Ana. These early efforts have indicated that the irreconcilable land use conflicts and land use inconsistencies in the TZC area are among the top, most pressing topics that must be addressed as part of the comprehensive Zoning Code Update process in order to protect the health, safety, and welfare of the most vulnerable communities that face the impacts of the land use conflicts within the TZC area; and WHEREAS, the policies and implementation actions in the General Plan also require review, study, and possible revision in order to respond to recent concerns relating to the impacts of these industrial business uses in the TZC; and WHEREAS, given these concerns, the City Council hereby directs that a study be undertaken of the current provisions of the TZC to address industrial business uses and determine whether such uses should be permitted in the zoning district, and if not, proceed with an ordinance amendment to preclude such usesfrom the district; and WHEREAS, based on the foregoing, the City Council finds that continuing to issue permits, business licenses, or other applicable entitlements to individuals wishing to use their property located in the TZC for the purposes of industrial business use, prior to the City's completion of its study of the potential impact of such uses, would pose a current and immediate threat to the public health, safety, and welfare, and that a temporary moratorium on the issuance of such permits, licenses, and entitlements in the TZC area is thus necessary; and
WHEREAS, if an industrial business use is permitted in the TZC without further review and potential regulation, it will pose a serious threat to the public interest, health, safety and welfare for the following reasons:
1) Adversely impacts surrounding businesses and neighborhoods; 2) Adversely impacts sensitive uses such as residences, schools, parks, and places where children congregate;
3) Conflicts with the goals and policies of the City' s General Plan; 4) Long-term incompatibility and inconsistency with surrounding uses; and 5) Risks to the public health, safety and welfare of the City; and WHEREAS, prevention of detrimental impacts to residents, the public interest, health, safety and welfare requires the immediate enactment of this urgency ordinance.

The absence of this urgency ordinance will create a serious threat to the orderly and effective implementation of any code amendments, general plan amendments or specific plan amendments which may be adopted by the City; industrial business uses may be in conflict with or frustrate the contemplated updates and revisions to the Code.

Moreover, permitting such uses during said studies and implementation would create Ordinance No. NS - 3063

enforcement complaints stemming from the irreconcilable land use conflicts within the Specific Development No. 84 zoning district (commonly referred to as the “Transit Zoning Code” or “TZC”). Specifically, in the Logan and Lacy neighborhoods, and surrounding areas, the City’s Code Enforcement Division has investigated over 33 commercial and industrial properties in the past nine months and currently has 17 active open cases that have been issued Notice of Violations and administrative citations for the following types of violations: illegal storage, land use, zoning, property and landscape maintenance, unpermitted work, business license, and certificate of occupancy. The close proximity of active open industrial cases during a short period is creating a public nuisance that is straining City resources and that is harming public health, safety, and general welfare of the TZC’s existing and new residential neighborhoods.

If adopted, the urgency ordinance would establish a 45-day moratorium on the approval, commencement, establishment, modification, relocation, or expansion of industrial uses in the TZC while City staff researches appropriate regulations and determines whether an extension pursuant to the Government Code is necessary. The urgency ordinance shall have no further force and effect 45-days from the date of its adoption, unless, after a report on the first 45 days and a public hearing, the City Council members, again by four/fifths (4/5) vote, extend this ordinance for an initial extension period of ten (10) months and fifteen (15) days.

DISCUSSION
Background
Specific Development No. 84 (the Transit Zoning Code)
The Specific Development No. 84 zoning district, also known as the Transit Zoning Code (“TZC”), is located in the central urban core of the City and comprises over 100 blocks and 450 acres. The TZC includes the Civic Center, Downtown, and the Logan and Lacy neighborhoods, which are among the City’s most historic in age and in established residential communities. As shown in Exhibit 2, the TZC is generally bounded by First Street, Flower Street, Civic Center Drive, Grand Avenue, and the Santa Ana (I-5) Freeway. Prior to the implementation of the TZC, the area consisted of a wide range of civic, commercial, industrial, and residential land uses under a variegated amalgamation of zoning districts and their regulations.

In June 2010, the City Council adopted Ordinance No. NS-2804, adopting various entitlements approving the creation of the TZC. The TZC established a transit- supportive, pedestrian-oriented development framework to support the addition of new transit infrastructure; preserve and reinforce the existing character and pedestrian nature of the City by strengthening urban form through improved development and

design standards; encourage alternative modes of transportation; provide for a range of housing options; and allow for the reuse of existing structures.

Moreover, the TZC provided new zoning for all of the properties contained within its boundary with the exception of those properties zoned Light Industrial (M1) or Heavy Industrial (M2). These M1 and M2 properties retained their existing zoning, but were covered by two overlay zones that allows for the option of future mixed-use development to be exercised at the discretion of the property owner. In support of the TZC, the City Council also approved a General Plan amendment, establishing numerous mixed-use General Plan land use designations for the entirety of the TZC. In these industrial overlay areas, however, the resulting new General Plan land use designations immediately resulted in zoning inconsistencies and land use conflicts between the new General Plan land use designations and the industrial overlays.

Since 2010, and specifically in the Logan and Lacy neighborhoods, these industrial uses have remained, changed ownership, undergone expansions or intensifications, and created numerous land use conflicts and disturbances that affect surrounding residential communities. Specifically, in the Logan neighborhood alone, these land uses create quality of life, health and safety, and other trespass issues for residential properties that often directly abut these industrial land uses. These issues include odors, dust, traffic, noise, vibrations, and other documented impacts that have taken place for nearly a decade and a half, despite the change in underlying General Plan land use designation.

Comprehensive Zoning Code Update
The City Council approved a contract with Moore, Iacofano, Goltsman, Inc. (MIG) on October 17, 2023. To ensure the City’s Zoning Code and General Plan are consistent, and to maintain compliance with state law, comprehensive amendments to the Zoning Code are required. Necessary amendments include the creation of new zoning district designations and corresponding development standards; updates to the definitions, signage, nonconforming, and parking sections; reorganization of the entire Zoning Code to a more user-friendly format; and new standards to reflect new land use trends, economic development trends, and land use goals of the City.

MIG and City staff have conducted extensive community outreach, stakeholder interviews, and reviews of existing zoning-related codes and policies in Santa Ana. These early efforts have indicated that the irreconcilable land use conflicts and land use inconsistencies in the TZC area are among the top, most pressing topics that must be addressed as part of the comprehensive Zoning Code Update process in order to protect the health, safety, and welfare of the most vulnerable communities that face the impacts of the land use conflicts within the TZC area.

Historically Disadvantaged Communities
Prior to the adoption of the City’s Transit Zoning Code (TZC), the City permitted industrial uses within the Logan and Lacy neighborhoods in close proximity to sensitive land uses such as residences and schools. By way of context, the Logan neighborhood represents the oldest Mexican and Mexican-American neighborhoods of Santa Ana and one of the oldest barrios in Orange County, and one of the few places where Mexicans and those of Mexican descent were allowed to buy land due to restrictions and covenants based on race during the first half of the 20th century. Moreover, as a neighborhood, the area was established before the modern practice of separating impactful land uses, also known as zoning. The Logan neighborhood itself originated as early as 1886 and was largely settled by 1900, before the practice of zoning was enshrined by Village of Euclid v. Ambler Realty Co. in 1926. By then, the neighborhood comprised residential, industrial, commercial, and related land uses, with issues further exacerbated by rail lines, fuel storage depots, and the construction of the Santa Ana Freeway between 1947 and 1956.

Comprehensive data analysis and mapping tools generated by the California EPA (CalEPA), the Center for Diseases Control/Agency for Toxic Substances and Disease Registry (CDC/ATSDR), the U.S. EPA (EPA), and California Healthy Places Index (HPI), present concerning information regarding environmental conditions impacting residents in the Logan and Lacy neighborhoods. Exhibit 3 of this report references EJ maps showing rankings of at least 90% or higher in heavy air pollution attributed to indicators describing exposure to Particulate Matter (PM) 2.5, Diesel Particulate Matter, Air Toxics Cancer Risk, Toxic Releases to Air, and Hazardous Water Proximity exposures. Multiple sources of environmental exposure and pollution burden into communities of color, including the Logan and Lacy neighborhoods, presents an alarming set of challenges and decline in healthy community conditions that will impact their quality of life and life expectancy with continued heavy industrial uses nearby.

Implementation of Senate Bill (SB 1000), City General Plan Update (GPU), and new Environmental Justice (EJ) Policies and Actions
SB 1000 went into effect in 2016, requiring local governments to address pollution and other hazards that disproportionately impact low-income and communities of color within their jurisdiction as a way to proactively plan for and address environmental concerns when developing and updating components of the General Plan. During this period, the City began and extended its comprehensive public engagement process for the General Plan Update through its adoption in April 2022. The City and community worked to ensure that the new General Plan included SB 1000 requirements of addressing environmental justice in local general plans through facilitating transparency and public engagement in the planning and decision-making processes, reducing

harmful pollutants and the associated health risks in disadvantaged communities, and promoting equitable access to health-inducing benefits such as healthy housing options.

Of note, the new General Plan mixed-use land use designations in the TZC area were largely left intact, including those in the Lacy and Logan neighborhoods, when the General Plan Update was adopted in 2022.

Santa Ana’s current General Plan champions implementation policies, including 77 EJ actions that address air quality, noxious uses, water safety, residential lead exposure in the soil, and other environmental public health conditions. City staff, over the past year, have worked on a process to create an EJ Action Committee of EJ cluster area residents, community-based organizations (CBOs), and County and City staff representatives, to guide implementation and resource investments to protect neighborhoods from experiencing any further environmental harm. For the Logan and Lacy neighborhoods, incompatible land uses allowed from past zoning decisions, including the industrial overlay zones, have perpetuated the practices of locating industrial uses or other noxious and unwanted uses, in close proximity to communities of color.

Code Enforcement and Immediate Ongoing Issues
In the Lacy and Logan neighborhoods within the TZC, the Code Enforcement Division has investigated over 33 commercial and industrial properties in the past nine months and currently has 17 active open cases that have been issued Notice of Violations and administrative citations for the following types of violations: illegal storage, land use, zoning, property and landscape maintenance, unpermitted work, business license, and certificate of occupancy. These violations include issues of odors, dust, traffic, noise, vibrations, and other documented impacts. The close proximity of active open industrial cases during a short period is creating a public nuisance that is harming public health, safety, and general welfare of the two residential neighborhoods from the concentration of open code enforcement cases nearby.

Since June 2023, the TZC communities have experienced a marked increase in impacts stemming from the irreconcilable industrial and residential land use conflicts in the Logan and Lacy neighborhoods. Residents in the TZC have increased their reporting of complaints and public health concerns to City staff regarding emitted contaminants and zoning violations from industrial businesses in the neighborhoods. Concerns that range from air pollution and smoke, toxic release exposures, idling trucks on residential streets, lead exposure, illegal storage, unpermitted uses, loud noise at night, and other property maintenance pose an immediate public health threat that is straining public resources to continuously investigate and address these matters. Six months ago, a fire incident at Macera Crematory, located at 1020 Fuller Street, alarmed neighbors at 9:18 p.m. on August 29, 2023. Neighbors shared with City officials disturbing video of high flames escaping the stack on the rooftop, the screeching noise that went nonstop for 10 minutes, and what they described as a foul odor attributed to the fire. As City staff

followed up with external regulatory agencies issuing permits to operate this facility, and quickly, staff observed the limitations from regulatory agencies and their compartmentalized processes to investigate and act on enforcement measures.

Since 2022, the City has enhanced community services by restructuring its Planning Division to contain a Neighborhood Initiatives and Environmental Services (NIES) section, which oversees, among other functions, environmental justice efforts in Santa Ana and regional coordination to address such issues. Despite this restructuring, it is now well documented that the NIES section’s coordination with external regulatory agencies has not resulted in a favorable outcome in enforcement by responsible external agencies such as South Coast Air Quality Management District (SCAQMD), California Department of Consumer Affairs Cemetery and Funeral Bureau (CFB), and Orange County Fire Authority (OCFA) in many of these investigations. In response, the City has adopted new regulations such as a Noxious Uses Ordinance (Ordinance No.

NS-3044, adopted June 20, 2023), which amends Zoning Ordinance No. 2023-01 that includes: a notification requirement to the City by the property owner to obtain a permit from a regulatory public agency; a requirement of a 1,000 linear foot distance buffer measured from the outermost boundary of the subject property; and a conditional use permit requirement from a regulatory public agency to handle, store, emit, or discharge particulate materials, exhaust emissions, or regulated compounds, or chemicals near a public park, school (K-12), or property zoned for residential purposes.

City staff have also researched commercial real estate acquisition data and current for sale properties to identify any trends that could potentially generate an increase in the application of the City’s Noxious Uses Ordinance for proposed or expanded industrial uses. From September 2022 to date, seven properties, primarily industrial businesses, sold and three of those businesses (800-808 E. Washington Avenue, 1045 Fuller Street, and 923 N. Logan Street) are located in the Logan neighborhood. Currently, two large properties are in the market for multifamily and land types located in the TZC.

Environmental Justice (EJ)/Disadvantaged Communities (DACs) Profile: Logan and Lacy neighborhood impacts
A demographic profile of the Lacy and Logan neighborhoods combined represent a population of 5,907, which encompass 1,564 households, a median household income of $56,864, average household size is nearly four persons, median age is 27 years, per- capita income is $23,495, and 74% comprise renter-occupied units based on demographic forecasts for 2023. Nearly 25% of the population is under 14 years of age and 14% are 55 years of age and older. Nearly 3% of the population attended up to 12th grade with no diploma, over 31% are high school graduates, and nearly 97% of the working population over 16 years of age are employed.

This data illustrates that the Logan and Lacy neighborhoods are within the second and third highest scored census tracts in Santa Ana, each with a composite score of 90% or

greater, ranking in the 90th percentile or greater of census tracts in the State, and identified as “disadvantaged communities” by the Office of Environmental Health Hazard Assessment (OEHHA) in its CalEnviroScreen model. Failure to address ongoing irreconcilable land use conflicts that are the target of this moratorium will further exacerbate the ongoing demographic and environmental justice challenges that these two neighborhoods within the TZC have grappled with since their founding.

General Plan Inconsistency with Present Land Uses
Numerous policies of the General Plan are inconsistent with the present, irreconcilable land use pattern of the TZC. Specifically, these policies include Policy LU-1.1 (Compatible Uses), Policy LU-3.8 (Sensitive Receptors), Policy LU-3.9 (Noxious, Hazardous, Dangerous, and Polluting Uses), Policy LU-3.11 (Air Pollution Buffers), Policy LU-4.3 (Sustainable Land Use Strategies), Policy LU-4.6 (Healthy Living Conditions), Policy CM-3.2 (Healthy Neighborhoods), Policy EP-1.9 (Avoid Conflict of Uses), and Policy CN-1.5 (Sensitive Receptor Decisions), which are targeted at correcting past land use planning practices that have placed an unequitable environmental and health burden on certain neighborhoods now termed disadvantaged communities.

The purpose of the interim ordinance is to immediately offer protection of public health, safety, and welfare from these irreconcilable land use conflicts in the TZC, during the time that City staff analyzes and prepares an evaluation of industrial business uses within the TZC. Such an evaluation will enable staff to generate recommendations to the Planning Commission and City Council to determine whether industrial uses should be permitted in the zoning district, and, if not, proceed with an ordinance and zoning map amendment to the district. During the interim moratorium period, City staff will not issue permits, business licenses, or other applicable entitlements to individuals wishing to use their property for the purposes of industrial business use in the TZC.

ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT
This ordinance is not subject to the California Environmental Quality Act (“CEQA”), as the proposed action is not subject to the requirements of CEQA, pursuant to Guidelines Section 15060(c)(2) because the activity will not result in a direct or reasonably foreseeable indirect physical change in the environment and 15060(c)(3) because the activity is not a project as defined in Section 15378 of the CEQA Guidelines, California Code of Regulations, Title 14, Chapter 3, because it has no potential for resulting in physical change to the environment, directly or indirectly and so is not a project, as the ordinance will temporarily preclude the approval, commencement, establishment, relocation, or expansion of uses in the zoning district.

FISCAL IMPACTS
There is no fiscal impact associated with this action.

WHEREAS, Government Code Sect ion 65858 expressly authorizes the City Council, in order to protect the public heal th, safety and welfare , to adopt an interim urgency ordinance prohibiting a us e that is in conflict with a contemplated general plan, specific plan, or zoning proposal t hat the legi slative body, planning commission, or the planning department is considering or st udying or intends to st udy within a reasonable time, provided that the urgency measure shall require a f our-fifths vote of the legislative body for adoption, and shall be of no further force and effect forty -five (45) days from its date of adoption, unless duly extended; and

WHEREAS, Specific Development No. 84 zoning district, also known as the Transit Zoning Code (TZC), located in the central core of Santa Ana, comprises approximately 450 acres, encompasses the Logan, Lacy, and Downtown neighborhoods, and was adopted by the City Council on June 7, 2010; and

WHEREAS, upon the initial adoption of the TZC in 2010, the General Plan of the City of Santa Ana was updated with new land use designations for the areas covered by the TZC to allow for new, mixed-use residential and commercial communities; and

WHEREAS, the goals of the TZC are to provide a transit -supportive, pedestrian- oriented development framework to support the addition of new and enhancement of existing communities through transit infr astructure; to preserve and reinforce the existing character and pedestrian nature of the City by strengthening urban form through improved development and design standards; to encourage alternative modes of transportation; to provide zoning for the integr ation of new infill development into existing neighborhoods; to provide for a range of housing options; and to allow for the reuse of existing structures; and

WHEREAS, industrial uses were established within the Logan and Lacy neighborhoods in close proximity to sensitive land uses such as residences and schools prior to the adoption of the TZC , as far back as the late 19 th century, predating modern zoning practices that take into account irreconcilable land use conflicts among variegated land uses; and

Ordinance No. NS -XXXX

WHEREAS, the TZC provide s new mixed -use zoning for properties contained within its boundary while creating industrial overlay zones allowing properties being used as industrial uses at the time of its adoption to continue to be governed by industrial zoning distri cts until such time that properties were converted to the mixed - use zones allowed by the TZC; and

WHEREAS, Senate Bill (SB) 1000 went into effect in 2018, requiring local governments to identify environmental justice communities, called “disadvantaged communities”, in their jurisdictions and address environmental justice in their general plans through facilitating transparency and public engagement in the planning and decision-making processes, reducing harmful pollutants and the associated health risks in dis advantaged communities, and promoting equitable access to health -inducing benefits such as healthy housing options; and

WHEREAS, the City of Santa Ana completed a comprehensive update of its General Plan in April 2022; and

WHEREAS, the Office of the Attorney General of the State of California was actively involved in ensuring Santa Ana’s General Plan update complied with all aspects of SB 1000 prior to its adoption; and

WHEREAS, as required by SB 1000, update of the General Plan and its associated land use plan i dentified and addressed long standing environmental justice issues throughout all of its elements, which include 77 implementation actions aimed at reducing harmful pollutants and associated health risks in disadvantaged communities ; and

WHEREAS, numerous p olicies of the General Plan are inconsistent with the present, irreconcilable land use pattern of the TZC. Specifically, these policies include Policy LU -1.1 (Compatible Uses), Policy LU -3.8 (Sensitive Receptors), Policy LU -3.9 (Noxious, Hazardous, Dangero us, and Polluting Uses), Policy LU -3.11 (Air Pollution Buffers), Policy LU-4.3 (Sustainable Land Use Strategies), Policy LU-4.6 (Healthy Living Conditions), Policy CM -3.2 (Healthy Neighborhoods), Policy EP -1.9 (Avoid Conflict of Uses), a nd Policy CN -1.5 (S ensitive Receptor Decisions), which are targeted at correcting past land use planning practices that have placed an unequitable environmental and health burden on certain neighborhoods now termed disadvantaged communities; and

WHEREAS, the industrial overlay zones in the TZC perpetuate past planning practices of locating industrial uses, or other noxious and unwanted uses, in close proximity to communities of color; and

WHEREAS, the Logan neighborhood is the oldest Mexican and Mexican - American neighborhood in Santa Ana and one of the oldest in Orange County, and one of the few places where Mexicans and those of Mexican descent were allowed to buy

land due to restrictions and covenants based on race during the first half of the 20 th century and

WHEREAS, the cons truction of Santa Ana (I -5) Freeway through Santa Ana in the 1950s resulted in a number of families being displaced through the demolition of single-family homes in the northeastern portion of the Logan neighborhood; and

WHEREAS, in the 1970s a proposed expa nsion of an arterial highway along Civic Center Avenue would have demolished a significant portion, if not all, of the Logan neighborhood; and

WHEREAS, the Logan and Lacy neighborhoods are within the second and third highest scored census tracts in Santa Ana , each with a composite score of 90 percent or greater, ranking in the 90 th percentile or greater of census tracts in the State, and identified as “disadvantaged communities” by the Office of Environmental Health Hazard Assessment (OEHHA) in its CalEnviroScreen model; and

WHEREAS, Assembly Bill (AB) 686 requires local jurisdictions to take deliberate actions to explicitly address, combat, and relieve disparities to disadvantaged communities, such as Logan and Lacy neighborhoods, resulting from past patterns of segregation, disinvestment, and planning practices; and

WHEREAS, the updated land use plan in the Land Use Element of the General Plan does not designate any properties within the TZC, including the Logan or Lacy neighborhoods, as industrial; rather, are designated as varying intensities of District Center or Urban Neighborhood land use designations —both of which are inconsistent with industrial uses; and

WHEREAS, there are pressing and growing code enforcement complaints stemming from the irreconcilable land use conflicts in the TZC. Specifically, in the Logan and Lacy neighborhoods, the City’s Code Enforcement Division has investigated over 33 commercial and industrial properties in the past nine months and currently has 17 active open cases that have been issued Notice of Violations and administrative citations for the following types of violations: illegal storage, land use, zoning, property and landscape maintenance, unpermitted work, business license, and certificate of occupancy. The close pr oximity of active open industrial cases during a short period of time is creating a public nuisance that is draining City resources and that is harming public health, safety, and general welfare of the TZC’s existing and new residential neighborhoods from the concentration of open code enforcement cases nearby; and

WHEREAS, in the Logan neighborhood, 52 industrial facilities (automotive, warehouse/storage, crematory, towing yards, construction) are presently in close proximity to sensitive uses monitored by ex ternal regulatory agencies such as South Coast AQMD, Orange County Health Care Agency – Certified Unified Program Agencies (OC CUPA), Santa Ana Regional Water Quality Board (SARWQB), Orange County Fire Authority. Industrial facilities have caused significa nt pollution exposure to

disadvantaged communities, including lead risk in soil and housing, diesel particulate matter from idling trucks, toxic release from facilities, traffic impacts, noise pollution, and airborne particulate matter or fine inhalable pa rticles of 2.5 (PM2.5) microns or less in diameter. CalEnviroScreen reports higher environmental effects from active facility cleanup sites, hazardous waste facilities, and solid waste locations. Cumulative health impacts in the area include asthma, cardio vascular disease, and low birth weight, in this overburdened disadvantaged community factored by socioeconomic indicators of poverty, linguistic isolation, housing burden, and education; and

WHEREAS, in the Lacy neighborhood, 76 industrial facilities (autom otive, warehouse/storage, towing yards, construction) are presently in close proximity to sensitive uses monitored by external regulatory agencies such as South Coast AQMD, Orange County Health Care Agency – Certified Unified Program Agencies (OC CUPA), Santa Ana Regional Water Quality Board (SARWQB), Orange County Fire Authority.

Industrial facilities have caused significant pollution onto disadvantaged communities, including lead risk exposure, diesel particulate matter from idling trucks, toxic release from facilities, traffic impacts, noise pollution, vibration impacts, and airborne particulate matter or fine inhalable particles of 2.5 (PM2.5) microns or less in diameter.

CalEnviroScreen reports higher environmental effects from active facility cleanup s ites, hazardous waste facilities, and solid waste locations. Cumulative health impacts in the area include asthma, cardiovascular disease, and low birth weight, in this overburdened disadvantaged community factored by socioeconomic indicators of poverty, l inguistic isolation, housing burden, and education; and

WHEREAS, there is a recent surge in residential development activity in the TZC that is exacerbating the irreconcilable land use conflicts between residential and industrial land uses. Examples inc lude the Lacy Crossing residential development with over 100 ownership units directly adjacent to existing industrial land uses, for which the City receives regular complaints from residential occupants of disturbances from noise, vibrations, odors, and tr uck traffic; and the Rafferty mixed -use development with 218 residential units, including 11 onsite units for very -low income households, which is located less than one-fifth of a mile from industrial land uses; and

WHEREAS, there is a marked increase in t he pending and active development applications for industrial land uses in the TZC, including for contractor’s yards, construction debris storage yards, manufacturing operations, expansion of existing industrial businesses, and storage and warehousing oper ations, stemming from shifting economic demands for goods and services emerging from the Covid-19 pandemic; and

WHEREAS, The City Council approved a contract with Moore, Iacofano, Goltsman, Inc. (MIG) on October 17, 2023. To ensure the City’s Zoning Code and General Plan are consistent, and to maintain compliance with state law, comprehensive amendments to the Zoning Code are required; and

WHEREAS, MIG and City staff have conducted extensive community outreach, stakeholder interviews, and reviews of existing zoning -related codes and policies in

Santa Ana. These early efforts have indicated that the irreconcilable land use conflicts and land use inconsistencies in the TZC area are among the top, most pressing topics that must be addressed as part of the comprehensive Zoning Code Update process in order to protect the health, safety, and welfare of the most vulnerable communities that face the impacts of the land use conflicts within the TZC area; and WHEREAS, the policies and implementation actions in the General Plan also require review, study, and possible revision in order to respond to recent concerns relating to the impacts of these industrial business uses in the TZC; and WHEREAS, given these concerns, the City Council hereby directs that a study be undertaken of the current provisions of the TZC to address industrial business uses and determine whether such uses should be permitted in the zoning district, and if not, proceed with an ordinance amendment to preclude such uses from the district; and WHEREAS, based on the foregoing, the City Council finds that continuing to issue permits, business licenses, or other applicable entitlements to individuals wishing to use their property located in the TZC for the purposes of industrial business use, prior to the City’s completion of its study of the potential impact of such uses, would pose a current and immediate threat to the public health, safety, and welfare, and that a temporary moratorium on the issuance of such permits, licenses, and entitlements in the TZC area is thus necessary; and
WHEREAS, if an industrial business use is permitted in the TZC without further review and potential regulation, it will pose a serious threat to the public interest, health, safety and welfare for the following reasons:
(1) Adversely impacts surrounding businesses and neighborhoods; (2) Adversely impact s sensitive uses such as residences, schools, parks, and places where children congregate;
(3) Conflicts with the goals and policies of the City's General Plan; (4) Long-term incompatibility and inconsistency with surrounding uses; and (5) Risks to the public health, safety and welfare of the City; and WHEREAS, prevention of detrimental impacts to residents, the public interest, health, safety and welfare requires the immediate enactment of this urgency ordinance.

The absence of this urgency ordinance will cr eate a serious threat to the orderly and effective implementation of any code amendments, general plan amendments or specific plan amendments which may be adopted by the City; industrial business uses may be in conflict with or frustrate the contemplated u pdates and revisions to the Code.

Moreover, permitting such uses during said studies and implementation would create impacts on the public health, safety and welfare that the City Council, in adopting this ordinance, has found to be unacceptable; and

AGENDA TITLE
Receive and File Single Audit Report for the Fiscal Year Ended June 30, 2023

RECOMMENDED ACTION
Receive and file Single Audit Report for the Fiscal Year Ended June 30, 2023.

GOVERNMENT CODE §84308 APPLIES: No

DISCUSSION
All non-Federal entities that expend $750,000 or more of Federal awards each fiscal year are required to obtain a Single Audit to comply with the regulations of the Federal Office of Management and Budget (OMB). The Single Audit for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2023 has been completed by the City’s independent auditor, Clifton Larson Allen LLP.

During the fiscal year 2022-23, the City administered twenty-six (26) Federal grant programs and expended $114.5 million, representing an increase of $8.7 million from the prior fiscal year. The increase was primarily due to $4.9 million in additional HOME American Rescue Plan Program expenditures and $4.5 million in additional Section 8 Housing Choice Vouchers.

Of the twenty-six (26) programs administered by the City, the auditors identified five major programs for the audit: Community Development Block Grant – Entitlements Grants Cluster ($9.5 million), Coronavirus State and Local Fiscal Recovery ($22.8 million), Emergency Rental Assistance Program ($5.2 million), Community Programs to Improve Minority Health Grant ($2.1 million), and the Homeland Security Grant Program ($4.2 million).

The Finance and Management Services Agency is pleased to report that the City received an unmodified opinion commonly known as a clean opinion; which is considered the most favorable conclusion for the audit. The unmodified opinion indicates that the City has complied, in all material respects, with the compliance requirements for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2023. However, the auditors disclosed

two compliance findings related to the Community Program to Improve Minority Health Grant program; the Federal Funding Accountability and Transparency Act (FFATA) reports and quarterly SF-425 financial reports were not filed timely.

The City’s Grant Management Policy (Policy) requires the grant administering departments to adhere to all reporting requirements for their grant programs. However, the department administering this program experienced turnover at key positions and was not able to submit the required reports on time. Program staff will follow the Policy and update procedures to ensure the status of all compliance requirements are tracked and proper knowledge transfer takes place to prevent future findings.

The report (Exhibit 1) is posted and available on the City’s website (https://www.santa- ana.org/financial-reports) along with prior fiscal years and has been submitted to the Federal Audit Clearinghouse. The Single Audit Report is required to be submitted by March 31.

1 INDEPENDENT AUDITORS’ REPORT ON INTERNAL CONTROL OVER

FINANCIAL REPORTING AND ON COMPLIANCE AND OTHER MATTERS

BASED ON AN AUDIT OF FINANCIAL STATEMENTS PERFORMED

IN ACCORDANCE WITH GOVERNMENT AUDITING STANDARDS
Honorable City Council
of the City of Santa Ana
Santa Ana, California
We have audited, in accordance with the auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America and the standards applicable to financial audits contained in Government Auditing Standards issued by the Comptroller General of the United States, the financial statements of the governmental activities, the business-type activities, each major fund, and the aggregate remaining fund information of the City of Santa Ana, California (the City), as of and for the year ended June 30, 2023, and the related notes to the financial statements, which collectively comprise the City’s basic financial statements and have issued our report thereon dated December 11, 2023.

Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
In planning and performing our audit of the financial statements, we considered the City’s internal control over financial reporting (internal control) as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances for the purpose of expressing our opinions on the financial statements, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the City’s internal control. Accordingly, we do not express an opinion on the effectiveness of the City’s internal control.

A deficiency in internal control exists when the design or operation of a control does not allow management or employees, in the normal course of performing their assigned functions, to prevent, or detect and correct, misstatements on a timely basis. A material weakness is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control, such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of the entity’s financial statements will not be prevented, or detected and corrected, on a timely basis. A significant deficiency is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control that is less severe than a material weakness, yet important enough to merit attention by those charged with governance.

Our consideration of internal control was for the limited purpose described in the first paragraph of this section and
was not designed to identify all deficiencies in internal control that might be material weaknesses or significant deficiencies. Given these limitations, during our audit we did not identify any deficiencies in internal control that we consider to be material weaknesses. However, material weaknesses or significant deficiencies may exist that were not identified.

2 Report on Compliance and Other Matters
As part of obtaining reasonable assurance about whether the City’s financial statements are free from material misstatement, we performed tests of its compliance with certain provisions of laws, regulations, contracts, and grant agreements, noncompliance with which could have a direct and material effect on the financial statements. However, providing an opinion on compliance with those provisions was not an objective of our audit, and accordingly, we do not express such an opinion. The results of our tests disclosed no instances of noncompliance or other matters that are required to be reported under Government Auditing Standards.

Purpose of This Report
The purpose of this report is solely to describe the scope of our testing of internal control and compliance and the results of that testing, and not to provide an opinion on the effectiveness of the City’s internal control or on compliance. This report is an integral part of an audit performed in accordance with Government Auditing Standards in considering the City’s internal control and compliance. Accordingly, this communication is not suitable for any other purpose.

Honorable City Council
of the City of Santa Ana
Santa Ana, California
Report on Compliance for Each Major Federal Program
Opinion on the Major Federal Program
We have audited the City of Santa Ana’s (the City) compliance with the types of compliance requirements described in the OMB Compliance Supplement that could have a direct and material effect on each of the City’s major federal programs for the year ended June 30, 2023. The City’s major federal programs are identified in the summary of auditors’ results section of the accompanying schedule of findings and questioned costs.

In our opinion, the City complied, in all material respects, with the types of compliance requirements referred to above that could have a direct and material effect on its major federal program for the year ended June 30, 2023.

Basis for Opinion on each Major Federal Program
We conducted our audit of compliance in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAS); the standards applicable to financial audits contained in Government Auditing Standards issued by the Comptroller General of the United States; and the audit requirements of Title 2 U.S. Code of Federal Regulations Part 200, Uniform Administrative Requirements, Cost Principles, and Audit Requirements for Federal Awards (Uniform Guidance). Our responsibilities under those standards and the Uniform Guidance are further described in the Auditors’ Responsibilities for the Audit of Compliance section of our report.

We are required to be independent of the City and to meet our other ethical responsibilities, in accordance with relevant ethical requirements relating to our audit. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion on compliance for the major federal program. Our audit does not provide a legal determination of the City’s compliance requirements referred to above.

4 Responsibilities of Management for Compliance
Management is responsible for compliance with the requirements referred to above and for the design, implementation, and maintenance of effective internal control over compliance with the requirements of laws, statutes, regulations, rules, and provisions of contracts or grant agreements applicable to the City’s federal programs.

Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of Compliance
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether material noncompliance with the compliance requirements referred to above occurred, whether due to fraud or error, and express an opinion on the City’s compliance based on our audit. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance but is not absolute assurance and, therefore, is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with GAAS, Government Auditing Standards , and the Uniform Guidance will always detect material noncompliance when it exists. The risk of not detecting material noncompliance resulting from fraud is higher than for that resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omission, misrepresentations, or overri de of internal control. Noncompliance with the compliance requirements referred to above is considered material if there is a substantial likelihood that, individually or in aggregate, it would influence the judgment made by a reasonable user of the report on compliance about the City’s compliance with the requirements of each major federal program as a whole.

In performing an audit in accordance with GAAS, Government Auditing Standards , and the Uniform Guidance, we:

exercise professional judgment and maintain professional skepticism throughout the audit.  identify and assess the risks of material noncom pliance, whether due to fraud or error, and design and
perform audit procedures responsive to those risks. Such procedures include examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the City’s compliance with the compliance requirements referred t
o above and performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances.
 obtain an understanding of the City’s internal control over compliance relevant to t he audit in order to de
sign audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances and to test and report on
internal control over compliance in accordance with the Uniform Guidance, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the City’s internal control over compliance. Accordingly, no such opinion is expressed.

We are required to communicate with those charged with governance regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit and any significant deficiencies and material weaknesses in internal control over compliance that we identified during the audit.

Other Matters
The results of our auditing procedures disclosed inst ances of noncompliance, which are required to be reported in accordance with the Uniform Guidance and which are described in the accompanying schedule of findings and questioned costs as items 2023-001 through 2023-002. Our opinion on each major federal program is not modified with respect to these matters.

5 Government Auditing Standards requires the auditor to perform limited procedures on the City’s responses to the noncompliance findings identified in our compliance audit described in the accompanying schedule of findings and questioned costs. The City’s responses were not subjected to the other auditing procedures applied in the audit of compliance and, accordingly, we express no opinion on the responses.

Report on Internal Control Over Compliance
Our consideration of internal control over compliance was for the limited purpose described in the Auditors’ Responsibilities for the Audit of Compliance section above and was not designed to identify all deficiencies in internal control over compliance that might be material weaknesses or significant deficiencies in internal control over compliance and therefore, material weaknesses or significant deficiencies may exist that were not identified. We did not identify any deficiencies in internal control over compliance that we consider to be material weaknesses. However, as discussed below, we did identify certain deficiencies in internal control over compliance that we consider to be significant deficiencies.

A deficiency in internal control over compliance exists when the design or operation of a control over compliance does not allow management or employees, in the normal course of performing their assigned functions, to prevent, or detect and correct, noncompliance with a type of compliance requirement of a federal program on a timely basis. A material weakness in internal control over compliance is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control over compliance, such that there is a reasonable possibility that material noncompliance with a type of compliance requirement of a federal program will not be prevented, or detected and corrected, on a timely basis. A significant deficiency in internal control over compliance is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control over compliance with a type of compliance requirement of a federal program that is less severe than a material weakness in internal control over compliance, yet important enough to merit attention by those charged with governance. We consider the deficiencies in internal control over compliance described in the accompanying schedule of findings and questioned costs as items 2023-001 and 2023-002 to be significant deficiencies.

Our audit was not designed for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of internal control over compliance. Accordingly, no such opinion is expressed.

Government Auditing Standards requires the auditor to perform limited procedures on the City’s responses to the internal control over compliance findings identified in our audit described in the accompanying schedule of findings and questioned costs. The City’s responses were not subjected to the other auditing procedures applied in the audit of compliance and, accordingly, we express no opinion on the responses.

The purpose of this report on internal control over compliance is solely to describe the scope of our testing of internal control over compliance and the results of that testing based on the requirements of the Uniform Guidance. Accordingly, this report is not suitable for any other purpose.

6 Report on Schedule of Expenditures of Federal Awards Required by the Uniform Guidance, the Schedule of Expenditures of State Awards Required by the State of California, and the Housing Authority of the City of Santa Ana Financial Data Schedules Required by the US Department of Housing and Urban Development
We have audited the financial statements of the governmental activities, the business-type activities, each major fund, and the aggregate remaining fund information of the City of Santa Ana as of and for the year ended June 30, 2023, and the related notes to the financial statements, which collectively comprise the City’s basic financial statements. We issued our report thereon dated December 11, 2023, which contained unmodified opinions on those financial statements. Our audit was conducted for the purpose of forming opinions on the financial statements that collectively comprise the basic financial statements. The accompanying Schedule of Expenditures of Federal Awards, the Schedule of Expenditures of State Awards, and the Housing Authority of the City of Santa Ana Financial Data Schedules are presented for purposes of additional analysis as required by the Uniform Guidance, the State of California, and the US Department of Housing and Urban Development, respectively, and are not a required part of the basic financial statements. Such information is the responsibility of management and was derived from and relates directly to the underlying accounting and other records used to prepare the basic financial statements.

The information has been subjected to the auditing procedures applied in the audit of the financial statements and certain additional procedures, including comparing and reconciling such information directly to the underlying accounting and other records used to prepare the basic financial statements or to the basic financial statements themselves, and other additional procedures in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America. In our opinion, the Schedule of Expenditures of Federal Awards, the Schedule of Expenditures of State Awards, and the Housing Authority of the City of Santa Ana Financial Data Schedules are fairly stated in all material respects in relation to the basic financial statements as a whole.

Section II – Financial Statement Findings
Our audit did not disclose any matters required to be r eported in accordance with Government
Auditing Standards.

Section III – Findings and Questioned Costs – Major Federal Programs 2023-001 - Reporting

Federal Agency: U.S. Department of Health and Human Services Federal Program Name: COVID-19 - Community Programs to Improve Minority Health Grant Assistance Listing Number: 93.137
Award Period: July 1, 2021, through December 30, 2023
Type of Finding: Significant Deficiency in Internal Control over Compliance and other matter Criteria or Specific Requirement: Prime recipients awarded a federal grant greater than or equal to $30,000 are subject to FFATA sub-award reporti ng requirements as outlined in the Office of Management and Budgets guidance issued August 13, 2020. The prime recipient is required to file a FFATA subaward report by the end of the month following the month in which the prime recipient awards any sub-grant greater than or equal to $30,000.

Condition: The City is a prime
recipient and provided subawards totaling $3,599,804 to four recipients, each over the $30,000 reporting threshold. FFATA reports were not filed for these sub- grants awarded until after inquiry by auditors.

Questioned Costs: None.

Context: The City is a prime recipient and provided subawards totaling $3,599,804 to four recipients, each over the $30,000 reporting threshold. FFATA reports were not filed for these sub-grants awarded until after inquiry by auditors.

Cause: There was turnover in the department overseeing the program and knowledge of FFATA reporting requirements, if any, was not passed along due to the turnover.

Effect: The City was not in compliance with the FFATA reporting requirements.

Repeat Finding: This is not a repeat finding.

Recommendation: We recommend the City implement policies and procedures to ensure that FFATA reporting occurs for all subawards of $30,000 or more for all federal awards and that the reporting be performed timely.

Views of Responsible Officials: The City’s Grant Management Policy requires grant administering departments to ensure compliance with the Uniform Guidance and all other requirements per their grant agreements. The City will update its procedures for accepting new federal grant awards and inform departments of the Uniform Guidance and Compliance Supplement, including the FFATA reporting requirements.

Type of Finding: Significant Deficiency in Internal Control over Compliance and other matter Criteria or Specific Requirement: Federal Financial Reports (SF-425) should be submitted within 30 days of the end of each quarter.

Condition: Three of the four reports for the fiscal year e nded June 30, 2023 were not submitted
timely.

Questioned Costs: None.

Context: Three of four reports required during the fiscal year were not submitted timely.

Cause: There was turnover in the department and the tracking of reporting deadlines was tracked personally by an employee who terminated employment with the City.

Effect: The City did not timely comply with its reporting requirements.

Repeat Finding: This is not a repeat finding.

Recommendation: We recommend that the City review its processes for managing grants, whereby deadlines for reporting, and other compliance requirements, are not isolated solely within one individual's tracking system.

Views of Responsible Officials: The department administering the COVID-19 – Community Programs to Improve Minority Health Grant will review and update procedures to ensure the status of all federal grant compliance requirements are properly tracked. Grant related documents and files will be saved in a secure network location that can be accessed by grant managers. When there is employee turnover, the department will ensure effective knowledge transfer takes place to maintain continued compliance with federal grant requirements.

TOPIC: Blanket Order Contract for Postage, Supplies, and Shipping Parcels

AGENDA TITLE
Award Blanket Order Contract to Quadient, Inc. for Postage, Supplies, and Shipping Parcels in an Annual Amount Not to Exceed $200,000 (Specification No. 24-043) (General Fund)

RECOMMENDED ACTION
Award Blanket Order Contract to Quadient, Inc. for postage, supplies, and shipping parcels for an initial one-year term beginning May 8, 2024 and expiring on May 7, 2025, with provisions for annual renewal of the contract until terminated.

GOVERNMENT CODE §84308 APPLIES: Yes

DISCUSSION
The Finance and Management Services Agency’s Central Services Division provides automated mailing services for the City, including bulk mailing of public notices for meetings, neighborhood meeting invitation flyers, business tax certificates, and various other daily mailings.

On July 6, 2023, the Finance and Management Services Agency purchased a Quadient iX-9 Automated Mailing Machine after staff performed market research and determined it was the automated mailing machine that best fit the City’s needs. This machine was installed and has been utilized since October 2023, replacing an older Quadient mailing machine, the Hasler Neopost IM5000 Mailing System, purchased in 2014 which had become non-compliant due to updated United States Postal Service (USPS) standards and regulations related to Intelligent Mail Indicia.

Previously, the process to pay for USPS Postage required the City to provide a check payable to the USPS, which would then transfer payment to Quadient for depositing into an online account accessible to the City for as-needed postage.

The postage payment process has since changed, and with the new Quadient machine, USPS Postage is pre-paid by Quadient, then invoiced to the City on an as-needed basis. The cost of shipping parcels and mailing machine supplies (mail meter strips,

shipping labels, and ink) is also billed to the City under this contract. Based on historical spending and anticipated increase of services, staff recommends creating a Blanket Order Contract with an annual not-to-exceed amount of $200,000 to ensure sufficient postage and related resources are available. Staff is also requesting the ability to automatically renew the contract annually, as payment of postage can only be made via Quadient, and the City does not foresee any shortage of shipping needs in the near or distant future. The Blanket Order Contract will be terminated when no longer needed by the City.

FISCAL IMPACT
Funding is available in the current FY 2023-24 budget and funding for subsequent fiscal years will be included in the proposed budget for City Council consideration.

TOPIC: Purchase of Three Chevrolet Equinox SUVs for the Public Works Agency

AGENDA TITLE
Award a Purchase Order to Guaranty Chevrolet for Three Chevrolet Equinox SUVs in an Amount Not to Exceed $109,290 (Specification No. 24-060) (Non-General Fund)

RECOMMENDED ACTION
Authorize a one-time purchase and payment of a purchase order to Guaranty Chevrolet Motors, Inc. for three 2024-2025 Chevrolet Equinox SUVs, in an amount of $106,290 plus a contingency amount of $3,000, for a total amount not to exceed $109,290.

GOVERNMENT CODE §84308 APPLIES: Yes

DISCUSSION
The Public Works Agency’s Parks, Fleet, and Facilities Division is responsible for the acquisition, maintenance, repair, and replacement of vehicles, trucks, and maintenance equipment. With the assistance of the Fleet Services Team, Staff has identified a need for additional vehicles for the Refuse Enterprise of the Public Works Agency (PWA).

On November 7, 2023, City Council awarded a Purchase Order to Guaranty Chevrolet Motors, Inc. (Vendor) for the one-time purchase of one 2024 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 standard bed truck. On December 19, 2023, City Council awarded a second Purchase Order for two additional trucks for a total of three 2024 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 standard bed trucks for PWA. Due to unforeseen circumstances, the Vendor will no longer be able to deliver the three trucks as ordered by the City. Additionally, since the manufacturer’s ordering window has closed, the vendor can no longer place a new order for these three trucks by the end of this fiscal year. Guaranty Chevrolet Motors, Inc., has committed to satisfying the City’s need for vehicles by holding three Chevrolet Equinox SUVs currently available on their lot for our purchase.

Prior to these Purchase Orders being issued, a separate Purchase Order was awarded to National Auto Fleet Group by City Council for two Ford F-150 trucks on October 18, 2022. However, it was cancelled due to limited manufacturer allocations and ordering window deadlines.

Since then, PWA has grown and has identified a need for three vehicles to adequately allow staff members to perform their daily tasks in the field. In order to continue to conduct business, PWA opted to rent the required vehicles on a month-to-month basis.

Although this temporary solution has satisfied needs while vehicles are on-order and in production, it is not a cost-efficient nor ideal solution. After researching possible procurement options and considering the series of fulfillment issues that have transpired beginning in October 2022, Staff recommends procuring three Chevrolet Equinox SUVs that are immediately available for purchase at Guaranty Chevrolet Motors, Inc.

DISCUSSION
On September 26, 2022, the Planning Commission approved Tentative Tract Map 2022-03 (Orange County Tract Map No. 19195), to allow for the subdivision of the property at 717 South Lyon Street into 51 condominium units and the construction of an attached townhome development (Exhibit 1).

Pursuant to the Santa Ana Municipal Code (SAMC) Section 34-127, the review and approval of a Tentative Tract Map is vested in the Planning Commission. Prior to the expiration of the approved Tentative Tract Map, a Final Tract Map is submitted to the City Engineer for review and approval. Pursuant to SAMC Section 34-183, the City Engineer shall notify the City Council that the Final Tract Map is being reviewed for final approval. The approval of the Final Tract Map is vested in the City Engineer.

The City Engineer is in the process of reviewing the Final Tract Map (Exhibit 2) for technical accuracy, substantial conformance with the Tentative Tract Map, and Compliance with the Subdivision Map Act and City Subdivision Regulations.

TOPIC: Amendment to the Agreement with Orange County Children’s Therapeutic Art Center

AGENDA TITLE
Approve an Amendment to the Agreement with Orange County Children’s Therapeutic Art Center to Expand Workforce Readiness and Skills Training

RECOMMENDED ACTION
Authorize the City Manager to execute a first amendment to the agreement with Orange County Children’s Therapeutic Arts Center, to increase the amount by $100,000, for a total agreement amount not to exceed $300,000, and increase the number of youth served from 20 to 30 (Agreement No. A-2024-XXX).

GOVERNMENT CODE §84308 APPLIES: Yes

DISCUSSION
At its regularly scheduled February 8th meeting, the Youth Council, a committee of the Workforce Development Board, approved the above recommended action by a vote of 6-0-1-2 (Dr. Anna Jimenez-Hami abstained; Ignacio Alegre, Anthony Sandoval absent).

Under the authority of the Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act (WIOA), the Santa Ana Workforce Development Board (WDB) recently procured Youth Service Providers to serve at-risk WIOA eligible Santa Ana youth to provide workforce readiness and skills training. Following the evaluation and scoring of the two proposals by the Youth Council Committee, the City Council awarded the Orange County Children’s Therapeutic Art Center (OCCTAC) the contract at the June 20, 2023 City Council meeting, to oversee WIOA services for the Program Year 2023-2024.

WIOA regulations stipulate that 20% of the youth formula funds are allocated to work experience for the youth participants. After reviewing the Program Year (PY) 2023-24 youth budget, staff determined that the current work experience expenditure would fall short of this requirement. This was brought back to the Youth Council for discussion at their February 8th meeting. After discussion, the Youth Council is recommending to increase the agreement with OCCTAC by $100,000 (Exhibit 1). This amendment will also increase the number of participants from 20 to 30, which would align the work experience expenditure in compliance with WIOA regulations.
