mitigated to levels of insignificance. Mitigation measures contained in the FEIR were designed to minimize short -term construction air quality impacts. The additional incremental increase resulting from the proposed modification to the project must also be considered significant and adverse when added to the existing non - attainment levels of the South Coast Air Basin. However, the incremental change between the 2005 project and the proposed project is de minimis. The City has adopted a Statement of Overriding Considerations related to air quality impacts based on the original analysis in the FEIR and the FEIR remains adequate and complete. d) Would the project expose sensitive receptors to substantial pollutant concentrations? (No Substantial Change from Previous Analysis) The FEIR identified air quality impacts related to sensitive receptors with project implementation. No changes have occurred in this area from the previous analysis; therefore, the FEIR remains adequate and complete. e) Would the project create objectionable odors affecting a substantial number of people? (No Substantial Change from Previous Analysis) The FEIR identified air quality impacts related to the release of objectionable odors due to project implementation. The modifications to the condominium component will not result in any new or objectionable odors beyond those previously analyzed. No changes have occurred related to the creation of objectionable odors; therefore, the FEIR remains adequate and complete for this topic. IV. Biological Resources a) Would the project have a substantial adverse impact, either directly or through habitat modifications, on any species identified as a candidate, sensitive or special status species in local or regional plans, policies or regulations or by the California Department of Fish and Game or U. S. Fish and Wildlife Services? b) Would the project have a substantial adverse impact on any riparian habitat or other sensitive natural community identified in local or regional plans, policies and regulations or by the California Department of Fish and Game or U. S. Fish and Wildlife Service? c) Would the project adversely impact federally protected wetlands (including, but not limited to, marsh, vernal pool, coastal, etc.) either individually or in combination with the known or probable impacts of other activities through direct removal, filling, hydrological interruption, or other means? d) Would the project interfere with the movement of any native resident or migratory fish or wildlife species or with established native resident or migratory wildlife corridors or impede the use of native wildlife nursery sites. e) Would the project conflict with any local policies or ordinances protecting biological resources, such as tree preservation policy or ordinance? fi Conflict with the provisions of an adopted Habitat Conservation Plan, Natural Community Conservation Plan, or other approved local, regional, or state habitat conservation plan? The FEIR Initial Study determined that, because the project site did not include biological resources, no impact would occur and no further analysis was required. The project is located in a substantially built -out area of Santa Ana, and the site was previously disturbed with grading and construction. There have been no changes related to biological resources. Therefore, no new or more severe impacts will occur and the FEIR remains adequate and complete. MacArthur Place South EIR — 2011 Addendum 25
