Community Plan Exemption Checklist City of Santa Ana Gary Avenue Business Park Project 102 b) Due to slope, prevailing winds, and other factors, exacerbate wildfire risks, and thereby expose project occupants to, pollution concentrations from a wildfire or the uncontrolled spread of a wildfire? No New Impact. The Project proposes a light industrial development on a developed site within an area characterized by existing industrial, commercial, and office uses. As such, the Project itself would not exacerbate wildfire risks as compared to existing conditions because it is representative of existing development in the area. The Project site is not in an area identified at risk of fire hazard as identified within the GPU EIR. Therefore, the Project would not result in new impacts related to exposure of people or structures to significant risk involving wildland fires. c) Require the installation or maintenance of associated infrastructure (such as roads, fuel breaks, emergency water sources, power lines, or other utilities) that may exacerbate fire risk or that may result in temporary or ongoing impacts to the environment? No New Impact. The Project would not include the installation or maintenance of associated infrastructure (such as roads, fuel breaks, emergency water sources, power lines, or other utilities) that may exacerbate fire risk. Therefore, the Project would result in no new impacts. d) Expose people or structures to significant risks, including downslope or downstream flooding or landslides, as a result of runoff, post-fire slope instability, or drainage changes? No New Impact. As previously discussed in Section 5.10, the Project site is not in an area susceptible to flooding and would not result in changes to drainage. Additionally, as discussed in Section 5.7, the Project site is not in an area susceptible to landslides. Therefore, the Project would result in no new impacts related to significant risks, including downslope or downstream flooding or landslides, as a result of runoff, post-fire slope instability, or drainage changes. Conclusion Therefore, with regards to the issue area of wildfire, the following findings can be made: 1. No peculiar impacts to the Project or its site have been identified. 2. There are no potentially significant off-site and/or cumulative impacts which were not discussed by the GPU EIR. 3. No substantial new information has been identified which results in an impact which is more severe than anticipated by the GPU EIR.
