Evaluation of Environmental Impacts This document constitutes an Addendum to, and should be considered with, the 2012 MND. Together, the 2012 MND and this Addendum serve as the environmental review of the Project, as required pursuant to the provisions of CEQA and the CEQA Guidelines. The Project's impacts were largely covered in the 2012 MND's analysis of the Proposed Project. This analysis addresses any changes to impacts identified in the 2012 MND that could potentially occur as a result of the minor technical changes associated with the Approved Project. Aesthetics The Approved Project, which includes minor changes to the site layout and a slight increase in vacant land compared to the Proposed Project, will not result in significant impacts on aesthetics. The Approved Project will not result in changes to unit counts, parking ratios, or open space and recreational amenities compared to the Proposed Project. The height of proposed structures and architectural style of the Approved Project will be substantially the same as the height and style analyzed in the 2012 MND. The Approved Project will not interfere with the existing lines of sight available from surrounding areas. Implementation of the Approved Project will not negatively affect the existing visual character or quality of the project site and its surroundings. Furthermore, the lighting used for the Approved Project will not introduce a significant new source of additional lighting to the area. The Approved Project will result in either no impacts m• less-than-significant aesthetics impacts, consistent with the analysis contained in the 2012 MND. Agricultural and Forestry Resources The Approved Project will result in the same impacts described in the 2012 MND. The Approved Project will not change the location of the Project site analyzed in the 2012 MND. The Project site does not contain any agricultural uses. No land zoned as forest land or timberland exists within the proposed project boundaries. According to the California Department of Conservation Orange County Important Farmland 2008 map (California Department of Conservation 20081), the Project site is classified as "urban and built-tip land" and "other land." The Project will be located in a fully developed urban environment and would develop a multi-family residential project on an infill development parcel. No impacts to agricultural or forestry resources will occur as the result of the Approved Project, consistent with the analysis contained in the 2012 MND. Air Quality The Approved Project will not result in new or changed significant impacts on air quality. The proposed construction activities for the Approved Project will remain unchanged from those analyzed for the Proposed Project. As stated in the 2012 MND, construction-related daily (short- term) emissions would exceed the South Coast Air Quality Management District (SCAQMD) regional 1 California Department of Conservation. 2008.
