Impact Finding: The Project would not result in inadequate emergency access (Draft Supplemental EIR at p. 5.13-23). Facts in Support of Findings: Construction During construction activities, the proposed Project could result in incompatible uses in relation to conf lict between passenger vehicles from site operations and construction vehicles, such as haul trucks and vendor trucks. However, construction barriers and fencing would separate the operational and construction areas of the site; and construction vehicles would have separate driveway entrances and circulation patterns that would be specified by the City's Building Safety Division in construction permitting pursuant to California fire, access, and safety code requirements. The roadway improvements and installation of driveways that would be implemented during construction of the proposed Project could require the temporary closure of travel lanes, but full roadway closure and traffic detours are not expected to be necessary. Also the construction activities would be required to implement measures to facilitate the passage of persons and vehicles through/around any required temporary road restrictions and ensure the safety of passage in accordance with Section 503 of the California Fire Code (Title 24, California Code of Regulations, Part 9) and the City of Santa Ana Fire Code, included as Municipal Code Chapter 14, which would be ensured through the City's construction permitting process. Thus, implementation of the proposed Project through the City's permitting process would ensure existing regulations are adhered to and would reduce potential construction related emergency access impacts to a less than significant level. Therefore, Project impacts related to emergency access during construction would be consistent with those identified in the GPU FEIR, which were determined to be less than significant (Draft Supplemental EIR at pp. 5.13-23 through 5.13-24). Operation As described previously, the Project driveways would provide adequate and safe circulation to and from the Project site and would provide several routes for emergency responders to access different portions of the Project site and surrounding areas. The City's development and permitting review process would ensure that all access and circulation to and through the site would meet California Fire Code Requirements included as Municipal Code Chapter 14. Because the proposed Project is required to comply with all applicable City codes, as verified by the City and C)CFA, potential impacts related to inadequate emergency access would be less than significant. Therefore, Project impacts related to emergency access would be consistent with those identified in the GPU FEIR, which were determined to be less than significant pursuant to compliance with existing regulations (Draft Supplemental EIR at p. 5.13-24). L. Utilities and Service Sy stems Impact Finding: The Project would not require or result in the relocation or construction of new water facilities, or expansion of existing facilities, the construction of which could cause significant environmental effects (Draft Supplemental EIR at p. 5.15-10).
