Air Traffic Patterns As discussed previously, the Certified EIR stated that the Overlay Zone is located approximately 6.5 miles northeast of JWA and is located outside of the Airport Planning Area for JWA. However, because the Overlay Zone could result in the development of structures that are more than 200 feet above ground level, filing with the FAA is required. As required by mitigation measure MM- OZ 4.6-4, any future projects within the Overlay Zone that would exceed 200 feet in height (from ground level at the project site) would be required to file a Notice of Proposed Construction or Alteration (FAA Form 7460-1). Therefore, compliance with recommendations or guidelines from the FAA would ensure that future development would not result in any change to air traffic patterns. This impact was determined to be less than significant. Parking The Certified EIR stated that the Overlay Zone would consist of approximately 5,551 residential units, over 3.4 million sf of office space, and 1.3 million sf of commercial space. The uses in each zone determine the amount of parking required. Parking requirements within the City of Santa Ana are provided in Chapter 41 of the City of Santa Ana Municipal Code. Since the exact uses that would be developed under the Overlay Zone are not known at this time, the precise amount of parking required is not known. As the City's Municipal Code regulates the amount of parking necessary for development within the City, future development within the Overlay Zone would be required to adhere to existing regulations, as well as the guidelines listed above in Table 4.12-9 of the Certified EIR. Any future development projects within the Overlay Zone would be subject to review to ensure compliance with the City's parking requirements of the Overlay Zone and Municipal Code. Thus, future development projects would be required to provide adequate parking, and this impact was determined to be less than significant. Design Hazards The Certified EIR stated that the Overlay Zone will be designed to utilize the existing network of regional and local roadways located within the vicinity of the study area. Three additional street segments may be constructed during implementation of the Overlay Zone in conjunction with reuse of the properties under a private development scenario. Additional proposed changes to road design within the study area as a part of the Overlay Zone could include potential improvement measures. Most of the identified improvements include the addition of one lane to a road segment, or the addition of a turn lane at an intersection and would not represent an increase in hazards associated with a design feature. Rather, these recommended improvements are designed to reduce potential hazards due to congestion. As such, this impact was determined to be less than significant. Emergency Access The Certified EIR stated the Overlay Zone would be required to meet all applicable local and State regulatory standards for adequate emergency access. Emergency access within the Overlay Zone Area is covered previously under the Hazards and Hazardous Materials topic in the Cabrillo Town Center City of Santa Ana Technical Memorandum August 2023 City Council 18 — 623 10/3/2023
