Community Plan Exemption Checklist <br />City of Santa Ana Gary Avenue Business Park Project <br /> <br />74 <br /> <br /> <br /> Project <br />Peculiar <br />Impact that is <br />not <br />Substantially <br />Mitigated by <br />Uniformly <br />Applied <br />Policies <br />Significant <br />Impact not <br />Analyzed <br />as <br />Significant <br />in the Prior <br />EIR <br />Potentially <br />Significant <br />Offsite or <br />Cumulative <br />Impact not <br />Discussed <br />in the prior <br />EIR <br />Adverse <br />Impact <br />More <br />Severe <br />based on <br />Substantial <br />New <br />Information <br />No <br />New <br />Impact <br />5.12 MINERAL RESOURCES. Would the <br />project: <br /> <br />a) Result in the loss of availability of a known <br />mineral resource that would be of value to the <br />region and the residents of the state? <br /> <br />b) Result in the loss of availability of a locally- <br />important mineral resource recovery site <br />delineated on a local general plan, specific plan <br />or other land use plan? <br /> <br /> <br />Summary of Impacts Identified in the GPU EIR <br />The Final Recirculated GPU EIR addressed mineral resource impacts on pages 5.11‐6 through 5.11‐7. The <br />GPU EIR determined that the GPU buildout would not result in the loss of availability of a known mineral <br />resource. <br /> <br />Impacts Associated with the Proposed Project <br /> <br />a) Result in the loss of availability of a known mineral resource that would be of value to the <br />region and the residents of the state? <br /> <br />No New Impact. The California Department of Conservation does not designate the city as being within a <br />Significant Mineral Aggregate Resource Area (SMARA), nor is it located in an area with active mineral <br />extraction activities. The GPU and GPU EIR also did not identify mineral resources within the City, including <br />the Project site. Therefore, the Project would result in no new impact related to loss of availability of a known <br />mineral resource. <br /> <br />b) Result in the loss of availability of a locally-important mineral resource recovery site delineated <br />on the general plan, specific plan or other land use plan? <br /> <br />No New Impact. The GPU does not include any designated areas of locally important mineral resource <br />recovery. Therefore, the Project would result in no new impact related to locally important mineral resources. <br /> <br />Conclusion <br />With regards to the issue area of mineral resources, the following findings can be made: <br />1. No peculiar impacts to the Project or its site have been identified. <br />2. There are no potentially significant off-site and/or cumulative impacts which were not discussed by <br />the GPU EIR. <br />3. No substantial new information has been identified which results in an impact which is more severe <br />than anticipated by the GPU EIR. <br />8/22/2022 <br />Planning Commission 2 – 113
