Chapter 3 Findings Regarding Project Alternatives Attachment "A" the RDEIR; accordingly, no feasible alternatives or mitigation measures were identified by the public that would clearly lessen the significant environmental impacts of the proposed Project. Finally, the City of Santa Ana finds that the RDEIR was comprehensive and thorough, and was sufficient to provide the public with meaningful opportunities to comment. Based on the foregoing, the City of Santa Ana has determined that recirculation of the RDEIR is not warranted pursuant to Section 15088.5 of the State CEQA Guidelines. 3.4.23.2 Finding Related to the Analysis of Alternatives The City Council finds that the RDEIR's analysis of alternatives complies with CEQA Guidelines Section 15126.6 by providing sufficient information about each alternative to allow meaningful evaluation, analysis and comparison with the proposed Project. Specifically, the detailed analysis in RDEIR Section 5.0 and the summary provided in the RDEIR Table 5 -1 give the City Council sufficient information about each alternative, both before and after mitigation, to permit a reasoned choice. The City Council further finds that while the EIR's assessment of potential feasibility of alternatives is informative, only City Council has the authority to make the findings required by CEQA. (CEQA Guidelines §15025(b)(2) [reviewing body may not delegate the making of findings required by CEQA Guidelines sections 15091 and 15093].) The findings presented herein reflect City Council's consideration of all comments received in the RDEIR and Final EIR, and reflect the City Council's final determination regarding feasibility, regardless of any statements of feasibility in the EIR.
