City of Santa Ana Environmental Checklist Regarding California history or prehistory, the project site has not required substantial excavation to develop the existing buildings on site and no documented studies or excavations have occurred on the site. As such, the potential to discover unknown buried archaeological or paleontological resources exists and therefore, potentially significant impacts on important examples of the major periods of California history or prehistory exits. Impacts on archeological and paleontological resources would be reduced to a less- than - significant level with the requirement that a qualified professional archeologist and paleontologist (MM -CR -1 and MM -CR -2, respectively). With the incorporation of the mitigation measures identified in Section V, Cultural Resources, impacts on California history and prehistory would be reduced to a less- than - significant level. b. Does the project have impacts that are Individually limited but cumulatively considerable? ( "Cumulatively considerable" means that the incremental effects of a project are considerable when viewed in connection with the effects ofpast projects, the effects of other current projects, and the effects of probable future projects.) Less - than - Significant Impact with Mitigation Incorporated. As described in the previous sections of this environmental checklist, the proposed project would result in less than significant direct impacts with mitigation measures on air quality, biological resources, geology and soils, noise, and transportation and traffic. Implementation of mitigation measures identified in the aforementioned resource areas of this document are required to reduce project impacts to a less - than- significant level. A cumulative impact could occur if the project would result in an incrementally considerable contribution to a significant cumulative impact in consideration of past, present, and reasonably foreseeable future projects for each resource area. The cumulative study area is confined to an approximate two -mile radius from the project site, and includes the cumulative projects listed in Table 3 -26. Although for some resources, cumulative impacts are considered over a greater area, and are addressed accordingly. Table 3 -26. Cumulative Projects List No. Project Anticipated Opening Year Description 1 Wintersburg Presbyterian Church 2012 Expansion of 24,348 sf church facilities 2 Torres Medical Office 2012 Construction of 6,000 sf medical office 3 Rite Aid /Walgreetls 2014 Construction of 15,836 sf retail building 4 Compassion Meditation Center 2014 Construction of 8,000 sf meditation center 5 The Academy Charter High School 2013 Construction of 146,136 sf residential high school for 450 students (including 80 residents) 6 Dayton Commercial Center 2012 Construction of 7,275 sf commercial center 7 Downtown Artists' Lofts HI 2012 Construction of 16 artist live /work lofts The following analysis evaluates the project's potential to contribute considerably to a cumulative impact. The proposed project would be required to implement all regional water quality permitting procedures; would not result in any land use impacts, would not handle, dispose, or transport The Bat Nha Buddhist Meditation Center June 2013 Initial Study /Mitigated Negative Declaration 3-9g ICF 00715.12 31 C -153
