Bella Terra Residential Communityand Temple Project ATTACHMENT A SCOPE OF WORK BELLA TERRA RESIDENTIAL COMMUNITY AND TEM PLE PROJECT INITIAL STUDY/MITIGATED NEGATIVE DECLARATION February24,2025 PROJECT-UNDERSTANDING The 2.465-square-foot Project site consists of three lots at 4006,4010, and 4018 West Hazard Avenue, in Santa Ana. Local access and regional access are provided by North Harbor Boulevard and State Route(SR 22), respectively.The Project site is within a built-out and urbanized portion of the City of Santa Ana and is surrounded by residential development on all sides.The lots are developed with three single-family detached homes and their detached garages/accessory buildings,which will be demolished to accommodate the proposed Project. The Bella Terra Residential Community and Temple(Project or proposed Project) involves amending SD-53 to facilitate the construction of a 3,200-square-foot religious facility(temple)and the development of 12 fee simple lots, ranging from 3,460 to 4,501 square feet. Each lot will include a two-story,single-family residence,with homes varying in size from 1,576 to 2,563 square feet,and a two-car attached garage. The Project site has a General Plan Land Use designation of Low-Medium Density Residential(LMR) and a Zoning designation of Specific Development No. 53(SD 53).The SD-53 will be amended to accommodate development of the proposed Project. ENVIRONMENTAL ANALYSIS APPROACH Based on the Request for Proposal(RFP),either an Initial Study/Mitigated Negative Declaration (IS/MND), an Addendum to the IS/MND for a project previously proposed on the site,or a Subsequent IS/MND will be prepared for the proposed Project.The Project site was entitled in 1988 for the development of 17 fee simple lots, detached single-family homes,and a "tot lot".The City has acknowledged that limited information exists regarding the previous IS/MND and associated technical studies.Consideringthe previous IS/MND and associated technical studies may not be available, and because an Addendum to an IS/MND or a Subsequent IS/MND need to reply on an existing certified IS/MND, Psomas believes the said document types will not be feasible CEQA options for the proposed Project.Therefore, Psomas proposes to prepare a stand-alone IS/MND for the Bella Terra Project. Psomas will prepare the IS/MND in accordance with CEQA(California Public Resources Code, Sections 21000 et seq.)and the State CEQA Guidelines (California Code of Regulations, Title 14, Section 15000 etseq.).Additionally, Psomas will take into account the City's requirements and specifications. SCOPE OF ENVIRONMENTAL SERVICES Below is the SOW for the proposed Project IS/MND based on our understanding of the Project and the information contained in the City's RFP.The SOW includes the following tasks: R:%Prcpwa10SnnrAWBa1ia TerraWlnaMella Terre ISMNbb22.425.docx A-1 Scope of Work
