City of Santa Ana Addendum to the MainPlace Mall Transformation Proiect Fashion Square Commercial Center Final EIR change of commercial tenant space during implementation of the Project is not an environmental issue under CEQA. Further, no tenants are anticipated to be displaced by construction of the Project. Thus, Mitigation Measure 5.1-1(b) is not applicable to the proposed Project.
