South Coast Technology Center Project CEQA Exemption 15183 In addition, according to Figure 5.8-5, John Wayne Airport Safety Compatibility Zones, of the GPU PEIR, the Project Site is not within an airport safety zone. Similarly, according to Figure 5.12-6, John Wayne Airport Noise Contours, of the GPU PEIR, the Project Site is not within the 60 dBA CNEL aircraft operation noise contours. Thus, the Project would not conflict with the Airport Environs Land Use Plan for the John Wayne Airport. Moreover, as the Project Site is not located near the study intersections for the OCTA Congestion Management Program (i.e., Harbor Boulevard and 1 st Street and Harbor Boulevard and Warner Avenue) the proposed Project would not impair implementation of the OCTA Congestion Management Program. As such, the Project would not conflict with any applicable land use plan, policy, or regulations adopted for the purpose of avoiding or mitigating an environmental effect, and impacts would be less than significant. Based on the above, the proposed Project would not result in new or substantially more severe impacts compared to the determinations of the GPU PEIR, which concluded that impacts related to physically dividing an established community, and conflicting with applicable land use plan, policy, or regulation would be less than significant. Therefore, no new project -specific mitigation measures are required. 4.11.3 Conclusion The Project is consistent with the General Plan Update. With implementation of RR LU-1 identified in the GPU PEIR, the proposed Project would not have any specific effects which are peculiar to the Project or the Project Site. There are no Project specific impacts or potentially significant off - site or cumulative impacts that the GPU PEIR did not analyze, and there are no new significant or substantially more severe impacts to land use and planning than anticipated by the GPU PEIR. 4.11.4 Applicable GPU PEIR Regulatory Requirements/Mitigation Measures: RR LU-1 Development associated with the General Plan Update would be designed and constructed in accordance with the applicable provisions of Chapter 41 (Zoning) of the City of Santa Ana Municipal Code. Development within specific plan areas, overlay areas, and specific development districts would implement zoning and development standards that are applicable within these subareas in addition to those in the underlying zoning district. 4.12 Mineral Resources 4.12.1 GPU PEIR Findings According to the GPU PEIR, the City is mostly mapped as Mineral Resource Zone (MRZ) 3, which is an area where the significance of mineral deposits cannot be determined from available data. The area in the southeast portion of the City is mapped as MRZ-1, which means an area where no significant mineral resources are present or there is little likelihood that significant mineral resources are present. A small area in the northeast corner of the City is mapped as MRZ-2, which means significant mineral resources are known or very likely. However, the City does not have mineral resource sectors or active or inactive mines. Thus, implementation of the General Plan Update would not cause a loss of availability of known mineral resources, and impacts would be less than significant. July 2024 Page 75
