2019-107 - Proposed Addington Multi-Family Residential Project

Finding: No impact. (DEIR, p. 2-7; Initial Study, p. 51.) Facts in Support of Finding: The Project site is currently developed for office uses and is void of any existing residential development. As such, the Project would not displace any existing housing and would not result in the construction of replacement housing elsewhere. For the reasons discussed above and the reasons discussed in the DEIR and Initial Study, impacts associated with this issue would be less than significant, and no mitigation is required. (Initial Study, p. 51.) This conclusion also applies, for the same reasons, to the Modified Project. 9.13.3 Displacement of Persons Threshold: Would the Project displace substantial numbers of people, necessitating the construction of replacement housing elsewhere? Finding: No impact. (DEIR, p. 2-7; Initial Study, p. 51.) Facts in Support of Finding: The Project is currently developed for office uses and does not include any residential uses. The Project would replace the existing office building with multi -family residential uses. The Project would not displace any residents and would not result in the construction of replacement housing elsewhere. Moreover, the Project's portion of the cumulative increase in residential units is 9.9 percent, and the remainder of the cumulative projects would generate over 90 percent of the cumulative increase. Thus, the Proj ect's contribution to the cumulative growth in housing is limited. Furthermore, the total cumulative housing growth from all of the cumulative projects identified in the DEIR would equal 7.4 percent, which is consistent with SCAG growth estimates that anticipate an 8.4 percent increase. Thus, cumulative impacts related to population and housing would be less than significant. The cumulative addition of housing within the Santa Ana and City of Orange N. Main Street corridor area would have a favorable effect on the jobs -housing balance, which could reduce environmental effects of long commute trips, such as air quality and greenhouse gas emissions. For the reasons discussed above and the reasons discussed in the DEIR and Initial Study, impacts associated with this issue would be less than significant, and no mitigation is required. (Initial Study, p. 51.) This conclusion also applies, for the same reasons, to the Modified Project. 9.14 Public Services As described in Section 4.10, Public Services, of the DEIR, the Project would not result in adverse physical impacts associated with the provision of new or physically altered service facilities. This conclusion also applies, for the same reasons, to the Modified Project. 9.14.1 Fire Protection Services Threshold: Would the Project result in substantial adverse physical impacts associated with the provision of new or physically altered governmental facilities, or a need for new or physically altered governmental facilities, the construction of which could cause significant environmental impacts, in order Resolution No. Page 47 of 76 Certification of the Magnolia at the Park EIR
