The remaining project site is comprised of surface parking. The Project site currently does not have any residential uses and no existing established community exists within the Project site. The Project site is surrounded by commercial and multi-family residential uses, and the Project, which proposes a mixed-use community that would include mixed-use commercial and residential, residential only, and commercial only buildings, would connect the surrounding properties through the proposed pedestrian, bicycle, and vehicular network. Additionally, the Project would not introduce any new roadways that would bisect existing communities or neighborhoods. Therefore, the Project would not physically divide an established community,. Impacts would be less than significant. (Draft Supplemental EIR, pp. 4.8-20—4.8-21.) Threshold LU 2: The Project would not cause a significant environmental impact due to a conflict with any land use plan, policy, or regulation adopted for the purpose of avoiding or mitigating an environmental effect. Findings: The City finds that the Project would result in less than significant impacts to land use and planning related to conflict with a land use plan, policy, or regulation. Additionally, the City finds that the Project will implement regulatory requirements RR LU-1 and RR HAZ-7 (listed above). (Draft Supplemental EIR, pp. 4.8-21 —4.8-52.) Explanation of the Rationale: The Project is consistent with applicable regional and local plans and programs that have been adopted for the purpose of avoiding or mitigating an environmental effect including SCAG's 2020-2045 RTPISCS, the Airport Environs Land Use Plan for John Wayne Airport(SNA), the City's General Plan, and applicable zoning. Impacts would be less than significant. (Draft Supplemental EIR, pp. 4.8-21 —4.8-52.) Cumulative Impacts: The Project would not result in cumulative impacts concerning land use and planning. Findings: The City finds that the Project would result in less than significant cumulative impacts concerning land use and planning. Additionally, the City finds that the Project will implement regulatory requirements RR LU-1 and RR HAZ-7 (listed above). (Draft Supplemental EIR, pp. 4.8-52 —4.8-53.) Explanation of the Rationale: As with the Project, the GPU buildout and each related project would be required to comply with their applicable land use plan and be subject to review by City regulatory agencies and CEQA review. The Project would not physically divide an established community or conflict with applicable land use plans and zoning standards. Therefore, the Project's contribution to cumulative impacts to land use and planning would not be cumulatively considerable. Impacts would be less than significant.
