South Coast Technology Center Project <br />CEQA Exemption 15183 <br />2.4.1 Entitlements <br />To allow the use of the proposed buildings, the Project proposes to amend SD-58 to allow for <br />industrial uses. Specifically, SD-58 would be amended to allow for the use of Limited Light <br />Industrial uses, consistent with the General Plan Update. The development standards would be <br />updated to include standards for perimeter fencing and revised parking standards to remove <br />reference to specific numbers. Operational standards would also be included for Limited Light <br />Industrial uses. Minor changes to SD-58 are also included to reflect emerging best practices and <br />provide flexibility for future development projects within the district. Additionally, the proposed <br />Project would require a lot merger and site and development plan approval. <br />2.4.2 Project Construction <br />Construction of the proposed Project is anticipated to take approximately 16 months to complete. <br />The construction activities would include demolition, excavation, grading, building construction, <br />paving, and architectural coating. The majority of the excavation for the proposed buildings would <br />require over -excavation for the building pads at a depth of approximately 5 to 8 feet. The spoils <br />from the over -excavation would be recompacted in the pad areas. Trenches for utility connections <br />would require a maximum excavation depth of 14 feet. In total, it is anticipated that the proposed <br />Project would excavate approximately 18,600 cubic yards of soils, of which a maximum of 7,235 <br />cubic yards would be exported. Construction activities would comply with the City's Noise <br />Ordinance, Santa Ana Municipal Code (SAMC) Section 18-314(e) and occur only Monday through <br />Saturday between 7:00 a.m. and 8:00 p.m. Construction equipment and materials staging would <br />occur within the Project Site. During construction, vehicular access would be provided via existing <br />access points along Lake Center Drive and South Susan Street. Temporary partial lane closures <br />of Susan Street and Lake Center Drive would be required for utilities connections to resurface the <br />streets; during the resurfacing, access would be maintained. Full lane closures are not anticipated <br />for the proposed Project. <br />July 2024 Page 14 <br />
