2024-053 - Final Supplemental for The Related Bristol Specific Plan Project

proposed Project also includes offsite infrastructure improvements that would replace an approximately 600-foot section of the existing 12-inch water main located at the northerly portion of Plaza Drive (immediately south of MacArthur Boulevard). The proposed Project would install a new onsite sewer system that would connect to the existing 78-inch Orange County Sanitation District (OCSD) sewer main in Sunflower Avenue As detailed in Section 5.15, Utilities and Service Systems of the Draft Supplemental EIR, the proposed Project would install a storm drain system within the onsite roadways to convey the stormwater to proposed vegetated biotreatment systems on the site and then to the existing or upgraded City storm drain systems in MacArthur Boulevard, South Plaza Drive, Sunflower Avenue, and Bristol Street. The proposed Project would upgrade the existing 54-inch reinforced concrete pipe (RCP) in Sunflower Avenue to a 72-inch RCP for 21230 linear feet and the existing 42-inch RCP in South Plaza Drive to a 60-inch RCP for 320 linear feet; however, these upgrades would replace existing storm drain lines and are to accommodate existing stormwater volumes. As such, the proposed Project would connect to existing or upgraded storm drain infrastructure and would not result in the expansion of storm drainage facilities in a manner which could accommodate substantial unplanned growth in the area. The Project site is currently being served by the existing natural gas and electric infrastructure that is adjacent to the site. The proposed Project would install new gas and electric infrastructure onsite that would connect to the existing natural gas and electric facilities that are in the adjacent roadway easements and are provided by Southern California Gas and Southern California Electric, respectively. The gas and electric infrastructure do not require extensions or capacity enhancements that could indirectly induce substantial unplanned growth in the area. Furthermore, no infrastructure would be extended or expanded to serve areas beyond the Project site, and indirect impacts related to the extension of infrastructure would not occur from implementation of the proposed Project. Overall, the proposed Project would not result in an increase in inducement of population growth beyond that identified by the GPU FEIR that would have the potential to create a significant physical change to the environment. As a result, impacts from buildout of the proposed Project would be less than significant and less than those identified in the +GPU FEIR, which were determined to be significant and unavoidable (Draft Supplemental EIR at pp. 5.10-10 through 5.10-1 1 ). J. Public Services Impact Finding: The Project would not result in substantial adverse physical impacts associated with the provision of new or physically altered fire service facilities, the construction of which could cause significant environmental impacts, in order to maintain acceptable service ratios and response times or other performance objectives for fire protection services (Draft Supplemental EIR at p. 5.1 1-5). Facts in Support of Findings: The proposed Project would remove the existing 16 commercial buildings and develop 3,750 multi -family residences, 200 senior/continuum of care units, 250 hotel rooms, and 350,000 SF of new commercial uses. The proposed Project would result in 9,238 residents and 1,092 employees at full occupancy. This residential and employee population is expected to create the typical range of service calls to OCFA that are largely related to medical emergencies.
