City of Santa Ana <br />Environmental Checklist <br />Regarding California history or prehistory, the project site has not required substantial excavation <br />to develop the existing buildings on site and no documented studies or excavations have occurred <br />on the site. As such, the potential to discover unknown buried archaeological or paleontological <br />resources exists and therefore, potentially significant impacts on important examples of the major <br />periods of California history or prehistory exits. Impacts on archeological and paleontological <br />resources would be reduced to a less-than-significant level with the requirement that a qualified <br />professional archeologist and paleontologist (MM-CR-1 and MM-CR-2, respectively). With the <br />incorporation of the mitigation measures identified in Section V, Cultural Resources, impacts on <br />California history and prehistory would be reduced to a less-than-significant level. <br />b. Does the project have impacts that are Individually limited but cumulatively considerable? <br />("Cumulatively considerable" means that the incremental effects of a project are considerable <br />when viewed in connection with the effects ofpast projects, the effects of other current projects, <br />and the effects of probable future projects.) <br />Less-than-Significant Impact with Mitigation Incorporated. As described in the previous <br />sections of this environmental checklist, the proposed project would result in less than significant <br />direct impacts with mitigation measures on air quality, biological resources, geology and soils, noise, <br />and transportation and traffic. Implementation of mitigation measures identified in the <br />aforementioned resource areas of this document are required to reduce project impacts to a less- <br />than-significant level. <br />A cumulative impact could occur if the project would result in an incrementally considerable <br />contribution to a significant cumulative impact in consideration of past, present, and reasonably <br />foreseeable future projects for each resource area. The cumulative study area is confined to an <br />approximate two-mile radius from the project site, and includes the cumulative projects listed in <br />Table 3-26. Although for some resources, cumulative impacts are considered over a greater area, <br />and are addressed accordingly. <br />Table 3-26.
