SANTA ANA CLIMATE ACTION PLAN INITIAL STUDY CITY OF SANTA ANA would not expose people residing or working in the project area to excessive noise levels. Impacts related to public use airports would be less than significant. 0 For a project within the vicinity of a private airstrip, would the project expose people residing or working in the project area to excessive noise levels? Less than Significant Impact. Four private heliports exist within the City of Santa Ana: Orange County Sheriffs Forensics Laboratory Heliport; Honda of Santa Ana Heliport; Southern California Edison Southeastern Division Heliport; and Orange County Global Medical Center Heliport.49 The Draft CAP is a policy document, and any new discretionary development would undergo project -level CEQA review to ensure potential placement of development would not expose individuals to excessive noise levels. The impact would be less than significant. 3.13 POPULATION AND HOUSING a) Induce substantial population growth in an area, either directly (for example, by proposing new homes and businesses) or indirectly (for example, through extension of roads or other infrastructure)? Less than Significant Impact. The City of Santa Ana is largely built out and urbanized. The Draft CAP proposes measures that seek to reduce GHG emissions by encouraging development of residential nodes near employment and retail nodes and enhancing pedestrian, bicycle, and transit connectivity through the adoption of zoning ordinances and design guidelines. However, the Draft CAP does not require development of land use projects that would not otherwise occur. While the City of Santa Ana is largely built out and there are not large amounts of vacant land, mixed use infill development and new housing is anticipated via existing zoning that will increase population growth consistent with anticipated projections. This impact would be less than significant. b) Displace substantial numbers of existing housing, necessitating the construction of replacement housing elsewhere? Less than Significant Impact. Retrofitting residential buildings to be more energy efficient would involve small construction work and replacement housing would not be necessary. The development of residential nodes near retail and employment nodes would involve new development, but would not displace existing housing. The impact would be less than significant. c) Displace substantial numbers of people, necessitating the construction of replacement housing elsewhere? Less than Significant Impact. As discussed in Section 3.13(b), implementation of measures as prescribed in the Draft CAP would not result in the displacement of people. The impact would be less than significant. 49 Airnay.
