City of Santa Ana Proposed Sav-on and .Live Work Lofts EIR pertinent issues. Cumulative projects will be discussed within each technical section. Growth - inducing impacts will be evaluated separately in the EIR. Effects Found to be Not Significant MBA will describe effects found to be not significant, in accordance with Section 15128 of the State CEQA Guidelines, by listing there with brief explanations of why they are not significant, or by referral to the Initial Study. Based on MBA's knowledge of the project area, MBA anticipates that the following environmental issues will result in no significant impacts either before or after the implementation of Mitigation Measures- 0 Agricultural Resources • Air Quality • Biological Resources • Archaeology • Paleontology • Geology/Soils • Water Quality • Mineral Resources • Population/Housing • Recreation • Schools Those issues that will include an evaluation that are expected to have mitigation measures are as follows: short-term air quality, archaeology, geology/soils, and water quality. If during the preparation of the IS or in responses received on the NOP any of the above issues are found to result in potentially significant impacts that cannot be mitigated, these issues will require evaluation in the EIR. Revisions to the scope and budget will be discussed with the. City at that time. Establishment of Thresholds of Significance MBA will work with the City to establish thresholds of significance for each environmental issue to be addressed in the EIR. In addition to the general standards of significance identified in the CEQA Guidelines, there are established thresholds applicable to this project including air quality (South Coast Air Quality Management District), traffic (City of Santa Ana), and noise (City of Santa Ana)). The thresholds will be stated in each technical section of the EIR in order that the reader can clearly understand the analytical process used to identify potential project effects. It is anticipated that presently established thresholds will primarily be used. Effects Identified as Potentially Significant MBA will conduct an environmental analysis of the proposed project, which will include documenting baseline conditions, conducting project and cumulative impact evaluations, and formulating mitigation measures for each environmental issue. For each issue area, a determination of the level of significance subsequent to the implementation of mitigation measures will be provided. The specific issues to be addressed and general approach to be used are described below. C:\WINDOWS\TcmporarylntemetFilcs\OLKBIIC\SantaAnaSav-Dn.dcfc 3
