South Coast Technology Center Project <br />CEQA Exemption 15183 <br />Goals and Policies I Project Consistency Analysis <br />Goal M-5 Sustainable Transportation Design. A transportation system that is attractive, safe, state-of-the-art, <br />and supports community, environmental, and conservation goals. <br />Policy M-5.6 Clean Fuels and <br />Consistent. The Project would construct short- and long-term bicycle <br />Vehicles. Encourage the use of <br />parking spaces and EV charging stations to encourage the use of <br />alternative fuel vehicles and mobility <br />alternative fuel vehicles. As such, the Project is consistent with this policy <br />technologies through the installation <br />of supporting infrastructure. <br />Source: City of Santa Ana, Golden City Beyond, Santa Ana General Plan, May 26, 2022. <br />Consistency with the City of Santa Ana Climate Action Plan <br />The City's CAP recommends measures that would achieve GHG reductions including installation <br />of solar photovoltaic systems and compliance with Title 24 energy efficiency standards. The <br />Project proposes to revitalize the SD-58 by constructing three new Class A industrial buildings for <br />office, manufacturing, and/or warehouse uses. The proposed Project would be consistent with <br />the applicable measures listed in the CAP by incorporating energy efficient features (i.e., energy <br />efficient lighting, energy efficient appliances, and on -site renewable energy production <br />capabilities) and water efficient features (i.e., low -flow fixtures, drought -tolerant landscaping, and <br />water efficient irrigation). The proposed Project would also comply with SB 1383 for waste <br />reduction. According to the Project plans, the proposed Project would exceed the most current <br />Title 24 (i.e., 2022 Title 24) by approximately 10 percent, which would help reduce energy <br />consumption and reduce GHG emissions. Additionally, the Project would include solar -ready <br />roofs for all buildings. As further described in Table 4.8-7, Consistency with the Santa Ana Climate <br />Action Plan, the Project would be consistent with the City's CAP. <br />Table 4.8-7 <br />Consistency with the Santa Ana Climate Action Plan <br />Goals I Project Consistency Analysis <br />Transportation and Land Use Measures <br />Measure: Local Employment Nodes <br />Consistent. The proposed Project would replace an existing office <br />near Residential and Retail Areas. <br />complex with three new Class A industrial buildings for office, <br />manufacturing, and/or warehouse use. The Project Site is located within a <br />portion of the City designated for Industrial (IND) use in the City's General <br />Plan. However, residential uses exist approximately 800 feet to the south <br />of the site and 850 feet to the east of the site, providing for both proximity <br />of residents to the Project's employment opportunities and a buffer <br />between the proposed industrial use and existing residential uses. <br />Therefore, the proposed Project is consistent with this measure. <br />Measure: End -of -trip Facilities in New <br />Consistent. According to the City's CAP, end -of -trip facilities include bike <br />Projects. <br />lockers, showers and changing rooms that would be used by cyclists. <br />Installation of these end -of -trip facilities would encourage the use of <br />bicycles as a form of transportation. The proposed Project is located in <br />an urbanized environment and would include short- and long-term bicycle <br />parking and would construct EV charging stations in accordance with the <br />most current and applicable Title 24 standards and CALGreen, as well as <br />provide vanpool/carpool parking spaces. As such, the proposed Project <br />would be consistent with this measure. <br />Measure: Design Guidelines for <br />Consistent. As previously discussed, the proposed Project is located in <br />External Bike/Pedestrian/Transit <br />an urbanized environment and would include short- and long-term bicycle <br />Connectivity. <br />parking. The proposed Project includes internal walkways that would <br />connect to existing sidewalks on West Lake Center Drive and South <br />Measure: Design Guidelines for <br />Internal Bike/Pedestrian/Transit <br />Susan Street. Such public sidewalks provide access to existing bus <br />Connectivity. <br />stations along West MacArthur Boulevard. As such, the proposed Project <br />would be consistent with these measures. <br />July 2024 Page 62 <br />
