SANTA ANA REZONE PROJECT <br /> INITIAL STUDYIMITIGATED NEGATIVE DECLARATION <br /> Would the project: <br /> a) Substantially impair an adopted emergency response plan or emergency evacuation <br /> plan? <br /> No impact.According to the CAL FIRE Fire Hazard Severity Zones Map, the project site is not <br /> located within or near a SRA or lands classified as a Very High FHSZ.10 The proposed project does <br /> not possess characteristics that would physically impair or otherwise interfere with emergency <br /> response as outlined in the OCFA Standards of Cover and Deployment Plan 2014 or with emergency <br /> evacuations in the project vicinity."As such, no impact would occur. <br /> b) Due to slope, prevailing winds, and other factors, exacerbate wildfire risks, and <br /> thereby expose project occupants to, pollutant concentrations from a wildfire or the <br /> uncontrolled spread of a wildfire? <br /> No impact.According to the CAL FIRE Fire Hazard Severity Zones Map, the project site is not <br /> located within SRAs or lands classified as a Very High FHSZ.82 The proposed project is located in an <br /> urban built-up area and is surrounded by existing development on all sides. Therefore, no impact <br /> would occur. <br /> c) Require the installation or maintenance of associated infrastructure (such as roads, <br /> fuel breaks, emergency water sources, power lines or other utilities) that may <br /> exacerbate fire risk or that may result in temporary or ongoing impacts to the <br /> environment? <br /> No Impact.According to the CAL FIRE Fire Hazard Severity Zones Map, the project site is not <br /> located within or near SRAs or lands classified as a Very High FHSZ.13The project would continue <br /> the existing use of the site as a parking lot and would not require installation or maintenance of <br /> infrastructure that may exacerbate fire risk. <br /> The proposed project would include adequate emergency access via the direct exit onto East Main <br /> Street. The project site is an urban area surrounded by existing development and adjacent to the 1-5 <br /> freeway, The project would not require emergency water sources because potable water is currently <br /> provided by the Santa Ana Water Department, which) has adequate water supplies available to serve <br /> the proposed project and future development during normal, dry, and multiple dry years, Therefore, <br /> impacts related to infrastructure that exacerbates fire risk would be less than significant. <br /> 10 California Department of Forestry and Fire Prevention(CAL FIRE).Fire Hazard Severity Zane Viewer.Website: <br /> https://experience.arcgis.comlexperience/6a9cb66bb1824cd98756812af41292a0.Accessed July 18,2025. <br /> 81 Orange County Fire Authority(OCFA).2014.OCFA Standards of Cover and Deployment Plan 2014.Website: <br /> hftps://ocfa.org/Uploads/Orange%2OCounty°/`2OFire°/`2OAuthority%20SOC_FINAL.pdf,Accessed February 5,2025. <br /> 82 California Department of Forestry and Fire Prevention(CAL FIRE).
