CITY OF SANTA ANA SHORT-TERM RENTAL PROHIBITION ORDINANCE CITY OF SANTA ANA 4. Evaluation of Environmental Impacts Page 46 PlaceWorks hazardous conditions, create conflicting uses, or interfere with emergency vehicle access. With implementation of applicable GP policies, the GP EIR determined that impacts would be less than significant (GP EIR p. 5.16-35). Analysis of the Modified Project The Modified Project would expressly prohibit STRs and only affect existing structures. The Modified Project would not require development, redevelopment, or changes to existing development types in the city. The Modified Project is not anticipated to result in a conflict with regional or local circulation system planning. The operational traffic associated with long-term rentals or permanent residences would be consistent with the operational traffic analyzed in the GP EIR because buildout of long-term rentals and permanent residences and their impacts to the circulation system had been evaluated under the certified GP EIR. The Modified Project would not change the significance conclusions in the GP EIR. No impacts would occur. The Modified Project would not result in any new or more severe significant impacts than those identified in the GP EIR. GP EIR RRs T-1 and T-2 are not applicable to the Modified Project because the Modified Project is not a development project. The Modified Project would not obstruct the City’s ability to implement applicable GP policies. 4.18 TRIBAL CULTURAL RESOURCES According to Appendix G of the CEQA Guidelines, a project would normally have a significant effect on the environment if the project would: TCR-1 Would the project cause a substantial adverse change in the significance of a tribal cultural resource, defined in Public Resources Code Section 21074 as either a site, feature, place, cultural landscape that is geographically defined in terms of the size and scope of the landscape, sacred place, or object with cultural value to a California Native American tribe, and that is: i.
