The Project would result in a FAR of 0.14, which is less than the maximum FAR of <br />1.5 allowable in the FLEX-1.5 designated area, which is the development density <br />established by the GPU and analyzed in the GPU EIR. The Project site has an <br />Interim Development Standard of M-1 (light Industrial zone). The M-1 zone does <br />not have density requirements. <br />2. There are no Project specific effects which are peculiar to the Project or its site, <br />and which the GPU EIR failed to analyze as significant effects. The subject <br />property is similar to other properties in the area, including its land use designation <br />and zoning. The property does not support any peculiar environmental features, <br />and the Project would not result in any peculiar effects. In addition, as explained <br />further in the prepared Exemption Checklist, project impacts were adequately <br />analyzed by the GPU EIR; and as detailed in the GPU EIR, development projects <br />pursuant to the GPU, such as the proposed Project, could result in potentially <br />significant impacts to air quality, greenhouse gas emissions, and noise. However, <br />applicable mitigation measures specified within the GPU EIR would reduce <br />potential impacts to a less than significant level. <br />3. There are no potentially significant off -site and/or cumulative impacts which the <br />GPU EIR failed to evaluate. The Project is consistent with the density and use <br />characteristics of the development considered by the GPU EIR and would <br />represent a small part of the growth that was forecast for build -out of the GPU. The <br />GPU EIR considered the incremental impacts of the Project, and as explained <br />further in the prepared Exemption Checklist, no potentially significant off -site or <br />cumulative impacts have been identified which were not previously evaluated. <br />4. There is no substantial new information which results in more severe impacts than <br />anticipated by the GPU EIR. As explained in the prepared Exemption <br />Checklist, no new information has been identified which would result in a <br />determination of a more severe impact than what had been anticipated by the GPU <br />EIR. <br />5. As explained in the prepared Exemption Checklist, the Project will undertake <br />feasible mitigation measures specified in the GPU EIR. These GPU EIR mitigation <br />measures will be undertaken through Project design, compliance with regulations <br />and ordinances, and through the Project's conditions of approval. <br />(E) The Project therefore qualifies for an exemption from additional <br />environmental review as set forth in Public Resources Code section 21083.3 and CEQA <br />Guidelines Section 15183. The full exemption analysis is provided as Exhibit 7 of the staff <br />report accompanying this Ordinance. Based on this analysis, a Notice of Exemption, <br />Environmental Review No. 2023-40 will be filed for this project. <br />Section 4. An amended Sectional District Map, showing the above described <br />changes in use district designation, is hereby approved and attached hereto as Exhibit A, <br />and incorporated by this reference as though fully set forth herein. <br />Section 5. The City Council of the City of Santa Ana, after conducting the <br />public hearing, hereby approves Amendment Application No. 2023-04. This decision is <br />Ordinance No. NS-XXXX <br />City Council 26 — 307 1/16/ 4 of 6 <br />
