1-5 northbound off ramp. The improvement shall be implemented to mitigate 2035 conditions. (Impact 4.11-9) Project Analysis and Conclusion The City determined that impacts related to exceeding standards from the Orange County Transportation Authority (Impact 4.111-2), change in air traffic patterns (Impact 4.11-3), hazards due to a design future or incompatible uses (Impact 4.11-4), inadequate emergency access (Impact 4.11-5), inadequate parking capacity (Impact 4.11-6), and alternative transportation (Impact 4.11-7) were below the level of significance and did not require mitigation. Impacts related to neighborhood traffic (Impact 4.11-1) and traffic increases to the existing traffic load (Impact 4.11-8) were less than significant with the implementation of mitigation measures. Impacts related to development near freeway ramps (Impacts 4.11-9) were found to be significant and unavoidable and that specific economic, social, or other considerations make infeasible additional mitigation. Specifically, no additional feasible mitigation measures exist that would avoid or substantially reduce these impacts. Any future development within the TZC area requiring discretionary action would continue to be subject to a project -level CEQA review at the time an application is filed for an individual project. Mitigation measures MM4.11-1 through MM4.11-16 would continue to apply. The proposed adoption of the text regulations identified in Table 1 — Current and Proposed Text Regulations would not require preparation of a supplemental or subsequent EIR because specific development projects are neither included nor required. The new regulations would provide recharging spaces for electric vehicles. Also, all truck parking areas must be on paved surfaces and the parking, loading or unloading of trucks associated with a business on public streets is prohibited. In addition, compliance with the existing regulations and proposed amendments will assure that potential impacts are not exacerbated. This will result in a beneficial impact to transportation. Therefore, the existing less than significant and significant and unavoidable transportation impacts would not result in new or different impacts. 5.12 UTILITIES AND SERVICE SYSTEMS This section analyzes the effects to utilities and service systems from implementing the proposed zoning code regulations. Would the project: a. Require or result in the construction of new water treatment facilities or expansion of existing facilities, the construction of which could cause significant environmental effects? b. Require new or expanded water entitlements and resources if there are not sufficient water supplies available to serve the project from existing entitlements and resources? TZC EIR Conclusions • Long-term cumulative development pursuant to the Transit Zoning Code (SD 84A and SD 84B) would generate an additional demand for water, but would not require water supplies in excess of existing entitlements and resources or result in the need for new or expanded entitlements. (Impact 4.12-1: Less Than Significant without mitigation) Long-term cumulative development pursuant to the Transit Zoning Code (SD 84A and SD 84B) would not require or result in the construction of new or expanded water January 2025 48 Environmental Analysis
