ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT REPORT F.O FINAL ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT REPORT <br />F.O FINAL ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT REPORT <br />F.1 INTRODUCTION TO THE FINAL ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT REPORT (FEIR) <br />This Final Environmental Impact Report (FEIR) has been prepared in accordance with the California <br />Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) as amended (Public Resources Code Section 21000 et seq.) and CEQA <br />Guidelines (California Administrative Code 15000 et seq.). <br />According to CEQA Guidelines Section 15132, the Final EIR shall consist of. <br />a. The draft EIR or a revision of the draft; <br />b. Comments and recommendations received on the draft EIR either verbatim or in summary; <br />c. A list of persons, organizations, and public agencies commenting on the draft EIR; <br />d. The responses of the Lead Agency to significant environmental points raised in the review and <br />consultation process; and <br />e. Any other information added by the Lead Agency. <br />This section contains responses to comments received on the Draft EIR for the San Lorenzo Sewer Lift <br />Station Project, City of Santa Ana Project No. 06-3510 (Draft EIR). These comments were received during <br />the public review period, which commenced on July 13, 2010. On August 30, 2010, the City gave notice that <br />it had extended the public review period for the DEIR to September 10, 2010, and all comments provided <br />prior to that date on the DEIR were considered as part of this FEIR. This FEIR document has been prepared <br />in accordance with CEQA and the CEQA Guidelines and represents the independent judgment of the Lead <br />Agency (City of Santa Ana). This FEIR and the circulated Draft EIR comprise the Final Environmental <br />Impact Report for the proposed Project, in accordance with CEQA Guidelines Section 15132. <br />F.2 REVISIONS TO THE PROPOSED PROJECT <br />As discussed in Section 2.3 of the Draft EIR, General Project Description, implementation of the Project as <br />described in the Draft EIR would require the condemnation of approximately 292 square feet of private <br />property owned by the Santa Ana California Lodge, LLC (Studio Inn, APN 410-411-19). As part of the <br />comment letters to the Public Review Draft EIR (refer to Comment Letter E in FEIR Section F.3.3), a <br />comment was received in opposition to the Project's proposal to condemn private property to accommodate <br />the proposed San Lorenzo Lift Station facility (Comment Letter E in Section F.3). Because no <br />environmental impacts would result from condemnation of the 292 s.f. of privately-owned land, the City was <br />not required by CEQA to evaluate any alternatives to the proposed Project that would avoid the need for <br />condemnation of private property (CEQA Guidelines Section 15126.6). However, although not required by <br />law, the City evaluated whether a design adjustment could be made to the proposed San Lorenzo Lift Station <br />facility to omit the need for condemnation. <br />As a result of City's evaluation of the proposed lift station design in response to Comment Letter E, the City <br />has identified minor modifications to the proposed Project's design that would avoid the need for <br />condemnation of private property. The City has determined the minor design modifications are feasible. As <br />depicted on Figure F-1, Conceptual Revised Lift Station Site Plan, and Figure F-2, Originally Proposed and <br />Conceptual Revised Lift Station Site Plan, the proposed lift station facility would continue to be constructed <br />at the west end of San Lorenzo Avenue, but would be constructed along the southern alignment of San <br />PAGE FEIR-1 <br />5t,IT47
