Related Bristol Mixed -Use Project CEQA Findings of Fact <br />Project -related hazard and noise impacts associated with SNA operations would be less than <br />significant (Draft Supplemental EIR at pp. 5.6-27 through 5.6-28). <br />Impact Finding: The Project would not impair implementation of, or physically interfere with, an <br />adopted emergency response plan or emergency evacuation plan (Draft Supplemental EIR at p. <br />5.6-28). <br />Facts in Support of Findings: <br />Construction <br />The proposed construction activities, including equipment and supply staging and storage, would <br />occur within and adjacent to the Project site and would not restrict access of emergency vehicles to <br />the Project site or adjacent areas. The proposed Project includes construction of new driveways to <br />the Project site, new sidewalks, and utility improvements and connections that would require the <br />temporary closure of travel lanes, but full roadway closure and traffic detours are not expected to <br />be necessary. Construction activities that may temporarily restrict vehicular traffic would be <br />required to implement adequate measures to facilitate the safe passage of persons and vehicles <br />through/around any required temporary road restrictions in accordance with Section 503 of the <br />California Fire Code (Title 24, California Code of Regulations, Part 9), which requires that prior to <br />any activity that would encroach into a right-of-way, the area of encroachment be safeguarded <br />through the installation of safety devices that would be specified by the City's Building and Safety <br />Division during the construction permitting process to ensure that construction activities would not <br />physically interfere with emergency access or evacuation. Therefore, implementation of the Project <br />through the City's permitting process would reduce potential construction related physical <br />interference impacts to emergency access to a less than significant level (Draft Supplemental EIR at <br />p. 5.6-28). <br />Operation <br />The Project would include vehicular access to the site from driveways along adjacent roadways. As <br />described in Draft Supplemental EIR Section 5.13, Transportation, these driveways would provide <br />adequate and safe circulation to, from, and through the Project site and would provide a variety <br />of routes for emergency responders to access the Project site and surrounding areas. <br />During operation of the Project, residents, employees, and commercial building tenants would be <br />required to maintain adequate emergency access for emergency vehicles as required and verified <br />by the City and the OCFA. Because the Project is required to comply with all applicable City codes, <br />as verified by the City and OCFA, potential impacts related to emergency evacuation or emergency <br />response plans would be less than significant (Draft Supplemental EIR at p. 5.6-28). <br />F. Hydrology and Water Quality <br />Impact Finding: The Project would not violate any water quality standards or waste discharge <br />requirements or otherwise substantially degrade surface or ground water quality (Draft <br />Supplemental EIR at p. 5.7-10). <br />City of Santa Ana 19 <br />CEQA Findings of Fact <br />September 2024 <br />
