City of Santa Ana Environmental Checklist f. For, a project within the vicinity of a private airstrip, would the project result in a safety hazard for people residing or- working in the project area? No Impact. The project site is not located within the vicinity of a private airstrip. As described above under VIlLe, the closest airport facility is John Wayne Airport, which is a public airport and located 6 miles to the southeast of the project site. The project site is located outside of the ALUEP and would not be subject to the rules and regulations as they pertain to this airport. Additionally, because there are no private airstrips within the vicinity of the project, no hazard impacts related to private airstrips would occur with implementation of the proposed project. g. Impair implementation of or plrysicalfy interfere with an adopted emergency response plan or emergency evacuation plan? Less-than-Signifncant Impact. Emergency response and evacuation is the responsibility of the Orange County Fire Authority (OCFA). The City also maintains a Natural Hazards Mitigation Plan (NHMP); however, there are no designated emergency evacuation routes or location-specific goals or policies addressing emergencies. The NHMP identities three primary hazard risk areas, which include earthquakes, flooding, and wind storms. Direct access to the project site for emergency vehicles is provided on the western side of the site along South Sullivan Street, Construction activities would occur within the project site and would not restrict access of emergency vehicles to the project site. After construction of the project, emergency access to the site would remain via South Sullivan Street and two access points to the project site as shown on Figures 2-5 and 2-8. Internal access to the project structure is provided by several points on site, including the front entrance rear entrance and entrance from the parking area. The project is required to design and construct internal emergency access and size and location of fire suppression facilities (e.g., sprinklers) to conform to OCFA standards. The OCFA would review the development plans prior to approval to ensure adequate emergency access. Specific internal circulation descriptions, project-related traffic increase, and potential effects to emergency response-related traffic conditions are discussed in Section XVI, "Traffic and Circulation." As described, traffic generated from operation of the project would not result in significant traffic impacts; as such, project-related traffic would not result in delays to emergency vehicles. The proposed project would not block emergency vehicle access to the site or adjacent areas, and the project would not interfere with the adopted NHMP. As a result, implementation of the proposed projectwould not impair or physically interfere with an emergency response and impacts are considered to be less than significant. h. Expose people or structures to a significant risk of loss, Injury, at- death involving wildlandfires, including where wild/ands are adjacent to urbanized areas or where residences are Intermixed with wildlands? No Impact. The project site is located within an urban developed area and is not located within an identified wildland fire hazard area, as identified by the Orange County Operations Center and the California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection (Orange County Fire Hazard Severity Zones; County of Orange n.d. Figure 20). Implementation of the proposed project would also require adherence to the following chapters of the City's Municipal Code to reduce potential fire hazards: Chapter 8.2 Uniform Building Code, Chapter 8.4 Uniform Mechanical Code, and Chapter 8.5 National Electric Code. Additionally, the project would be in compliance with any further guidelines from the OCFA related to fire prevention and is subject to approval by the City's Planning and Building The Bat Nha Buddhist Meditation Center 3 49 June 2013 Initial Study/Mitigated Negative Declaration ICF 00215.12 31 C-102
