<br />~~fA <br /> <br />Responses to <br />Environmental Checklist <br />For CEQA Compliance <br /> <br />c. Directly or indirectly disturb or destroy a unique paleontogical resource or site? <br />D. Disturb any human remains, including those interred outside of formal cemeteries. <br /> <br />No Impact <br /> <br />According to the City's General Plan Land Use Element EIR, the City of Santa Ana is known to contain <br />cultural resources. Additionally, according to the General Plan Land Use Element EIR there is high <br />probability that unknown cultural resources may exist in the City. Approval of the proposed amendments to <br />the Municipal Code to establish an ordinance for the regulation of indoor sporting facilities would not result <br />in impacts to any cultural resource, in that approval of the proposed ordinance would not involve any <br />activities that would disturb known or unknown cultural resources. Through conditional use permit <br />process, future indoor sporting facilities implemented under the proposed ordinance would be evaluated <br />for potential impacts to known and unknown cultural resources. <br /> <br />GEOLOGY/SOILS <br /> <br />A-1. Rupture of a known earthquake fault, as delineated on the most recent Alquist-Priolo <br />Earthquake Fault Zoning Map issued by the State geologist for the area or based on other <br />substantial evidence of a known fault? <br />A-2. Strong Seismic Ground shaking? <br />A-3. Seismic-related ground failure, including liquefaction? <br />A-4. Landslides <br /> <br />No Impact <br /> <br />According to the City's General Plan Land Use Element EIR there are no active earthquake faults, Alquist- <br />Priolo Earthquake Zones or landslides within the City. However, several active faults are located within fifty <br />miles of the City. In the event a moderate to high earthquake occurs along one of these faults, portions of <br />the City could experience moderate seismic shaking impacts. However, the seismic risks in Santa Ana are <br />similar to other areas in the southern Californian region. Additionally, according to the General Plan Land <br />Use Element EIR, the potential for liquefaction hazards within the City ranges from very low to very high. <br />Approval of the proposed amendments to the Municipal Code to establish an ordinance for the regulation <br />of indoor sporting facilities would not increase the potential for seismic impacts, and liquefaction impacts, <br />in that the approval of proposed ordinance would not involve the development of any structures that would <br />be subject to seismic shaking impacts or liquefaction hazards. Through the conditional use permit <br />process, future indoor sporting facilities implemented under the proposed ordinance would be evaluated <br />for potential seismic risks. <br /> <br />B. Would the project result in substantial soil erosion or the loss of topsoil? <br /> <br />No Impact <br /> <br />Approval of the proposed amendments to the Municipal Code to establish an ordinance for the regulation <br />of indoor sporting facilities would not result in or increase the potential for soil erosion or sedimentation <br />impacts, in that the approval of the proposed ordinance would not involve any activities that would disturb <br />soils. Through the conditional use permit process, future indoor sporting facilities implemented under the <br />proposed ordinance would be evaluated for potential soil erosion impacts and would be subject to the <br />City's erosion control requirements. <br /> <br />75B-28 <br /> <br />4 <br />
