CHANGES TO THE SANTA ANA HEIGHTS SPECIFIC PLAN
OR TO ASPECTS OF THE GENERAL PLAN
THAT RELATE TO THE SANTA ANA HEIGHTS SPECIFIC PLAN
PURPOSE
The purpose of this Policy is to establish a process for City staff and others to follow
when staff, community groups, or residents propose a change to the Santa Ana Heights
Specific Plan. A Pre-Annexation Agreement dated September 10, 2002 between the City
and the County of Orange (its Board of Supervisors and the Orange County
Development Agency) generally directs that written consent of the County be obtained
before an amendment to the Santa Arm Heights Specific Area Plan or any changes to the
City’s General Plan that relate to the Santa Ana Heights Specific Plan can become
effective.
POLICY
It is the policy of the City that this process be followed when considering any
amendment to the Santa Ana Heights Specific Plan or any amendment to the City’s
General Plan that may relate to the Santa Ana Heights Specific Plan:
ao The proponent of the amendment (City staff, City Council, the Santa Ana
Heights Project Advisory Committee [PAC], or individual residents) shall
request consideration of the specific amendment in writing with a letter
addressed to the City, the PAC and to the Orange County Board of Supervisors.
B°If requested by the County, the PAC shall hold a public meeting to discuss the
proposed amendment. Following the public discussion, PAC shall conduct an
advisory vote on the proposed amendment.
The County shall be requested to offer its position on the proposed amendment
in any formal, public manner that the County sees fit.
If approved by the County, the City Council shall consider the proposed
amendment during a regular session of the City Council. The Council’s
consideration of the proposed amendment shall comply with the Newport Beach
Municipal Code and the City Charter as they relate to the adoption of ordinances
or General Plan amendments. Nothing in this Policy obligates the City Council
to approve any proposed amendment approved by PAC or the County.
