In regard to traffic noise impacts, the project as proposed in the 2009 Addendum would result in 758 fewer trips per day than the project approved in 2005. The addition of 24 residential units is not anticipated to create a substantial noise increase either operationally or due to increased traffic. Noise impacts due to traffic will be less than originally analyzed. Therefore, the FEIR remains adequate and complete with respect to noise impacts from traffic. d) Would the project result in a substantial temporary or periodic increase in ambient noise levels in the project vicinity above levels existing without the project? (No Substantial Change from Previous Analysis) Development of the project will have no new or more severe impacts related to temporary or periodic increases in ambient noise levels beyond those addressed in the FEIR. Therefore, the FEIR remains adequate and complete with respect to this topic. e) For a project located within an airport land use plan, or where such a plan has not been adopted, within two miles of a public airport or public use airport, would the project expose people residing or working in the project area to excessive noise levels? (No Substantial Change from Previous Analysis) John Wayne Airport is approximately 1.1 miles south of the project site. However, the project site is outside of both Noise Impact Zones 1 and 2. Mitigation measures have been identified to reduce the potential to expose people residing or working in the project area to excessive noise levels. Develop- ment of the project will have no new or more severe impacts beyond those addressed in the FEIR. Therefore, the FEIR remains adequate and complete with respect to this topic. � For a project within the vicinity of a private airstrip, would the project expose people residing or working in the project area to excessive noise levels? (No Substantial Change from Previous Analysis) Development of the project will have no new or more severe impacts beyond those addressed in the FEIR. The project is not located in the vicinity of a private airstrip. Therefore, the FEIR remains adequate and complete with respect to this topic. XIII. Population and Housing a) Would the project induce substantial population growth in an area, either directly (for example, by proposing new homes and business) or indirectly (for example, through extension of roads of other infrastructure)? (No Substantial Change from Previous Analysis) While the original project approval included 276 low -rise residential units, the proposed project includes 300 units. However, the 2009 Addendum eliminated 14 lofts that were originally approved in the FEIR, for a net gain of 10 residential units in the proposed 2011 Addendum. This does not represent a substantial population growth and the analysis in the FEIR remains adequate and complete. b) Would the project displace substantial numbers of existing housing, necessitating the construction of replacement housing elsewhere? (No Substantial Change from Previous Analysis) The project site does not currently contain housing, and no housing will be displaced by project construction. Development of the project as modified will have no new or more severe impacts than those analyzed in the FEIR. Therefore, the FEIR remains adequate and complete.
