further described that because the Project site is located 1.4 miles northwest of SNA and is not within the Airport's safety zone, the proposed Project would not result in a safety hazard. However, as shown on Figure 5.6-1, the Project site is located within the 206-foot-high imaginary surface area for SNA, and the proposed Project may include structures of 25 stories that would extend to approximately 315 feet above sea level. Therefore, FAA notification and study of the proposed Project structures above 206-feet high is required. In regard to additional electric vehicle chargers, pursuant to Mitigation Measure GHG-2, the Project would be required to provide facilities to support electric charging stations per the Tier 2 standards in Section A5.106.5.3 (Nonresidential Voluntary Measures) and Section A5.106.8.2 (Residential Voluntary Measures) of the 2022 CALGreen Code. In regard to electric infrastructure, the GPU FEIR determined that increased electricity demands at full buildout are within the forecasted demand in Southern California Edison's service area; therefore, impacts would be less than significant. As the Project is within the forecasted growth analyzed by the GPU FEIR, there is adequate electric infrastructure within the vicinity of the Project. Comment L21.5: This comment states that the whole neighborhood will be impacted by the loss of the current businesses and the development should coordinate with the adjacent Segerstrom development. The comment states that the base elevation for the site does not need to match the existing and that would reduce the amount of overexcavated materials. The comment states that a better solution to drainage would be to construct percolation wells for groundwater recharge and that pavement materials should be recycled.
