Summary of Impacts in the GP EIR As discussed in Section 5.18, Utilities and Service Systems, of the GP EIR, buildout of the Approved Project would increase wastewater treatment, however the Orange County Sanitation District (OCSD) has functioning and effective processes in place to ensure the regional sewer infrastructure will support future development; and implementation of RR U-1 and RR U-2 and GP policies would reduce impacts to less than significant. Additionally, OCSD contains adequate capacity to serve wastewater collation and treatment in the city, and a less than significant impact would occur with implementation of RR U-3 and GP policies. Buildout under the Approved Project would increase demand for water services, potentially creating deficiencies or necessitating the need for improvement projects (GP EIR p. 5.18-36-5.18-38). With planning, Capital Improvement Programs (CIP), RR U-5 through RR U-7, and GP policies, impacts would be less than significant. The GP EIR concluded under full buildout of the Approved Project, the City contains adequate water supplies during normal -dry and multiple -dry year scenarios, and with implementation of RR U-5 and RR U-7, impacts would be less than significant. The city is largely built out; however, intensification of development could increase park -flow runoff (GP EIR p. 5.18-47). Improvements identified in the GP EIR and Orange County Public Works CIP ensures regional drainage improvements, and project -specific stormwater design features and implementation of RR HYD -4 and GP policies would reduce impacts to less than significant. The GP EIR concluded the projected increase in solid waste would be accommodated by existing and/or proposed solid waste facilities, and future development would comply with local and state policies, and with implementation of RR U-7 and RR U-8 and GP policies, impacts would be less than significant (GP EIR p. 5.18-52-5.18-53). The GP EIR concluded the forecast increase in electricity is within the forecasted demand in SoCal Edison's service area and would not require additional electricity supplies and impacts would be less than significant (GP EIR p. 5.18-63--5.18-64). Additionally, the increase in natural gas demands are within the forecast demand in the SoCalGas service area, and impacts would be less than significant with implantation of RR U-10, RR U-11, and GP policies. 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. Since the Modified Project would not require development of any kind and would not result in unplanned population growth (directly or indirectly), no increases in demands to utilities and service systems would occur. 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. Resolution No. 2024-072 Page 58 of 67
