Environmental Issue <br />Sco In <br />EIR Section? <br />the project site, describe that the existing structure Is <br />developed on 4-Inch thick concrete slab -on -grade that <br />Is on top of a 20 to 36-foot deep foundation system of <br />piles (Partner 2016). Thus, the project site has been <br />highly disturbed to depths beyond those that are <br />assumed to be necessary for the proposed project. As <br />a result, of this previous disturbance, archaeological <br />and paleontological resources are not anticipated to be <br />present onsite, and potential impacts related to <br />construction of the proposed project are not anticipated <br />to occur. <br />Geology and Sells <br />The project site is not within a fault zone, and the <br />No <br />closest faults are the: San Joaquin Hills fault 5.6 miles <br />from the site, Puente Hills (Coyote Hills) fault 7.5 miles <br />from the site, and the Newport -Inglewood fault that Is <br />9.8 miles from the project site. Seismic shaking similar <br />to most locations in southern California would occur on <br />the project site during seismic events. However, <br />compliance with the California Building Code would <br />reduce impacts. Similarly, the project site Is located <br />within an area that could be susceptible to liquefaction; <br />however, the required project engineering and <br />compliance with required building codes would limit the <br />potential for impacts to occur. This will be described in <br />the IS, and preparation of a geology and soils section <br />of the EIR is not anticipated to be necessary. <br />Greenhouse Gas Emissions <br />Construction and operation of the proposed project <br />Yes <br />would result in greenhouse gas emissions, which would <br />primarily result from vehicular trips. The EIR will include <br />a technical evaluation of the potential of the proposed <br />project to generate emissions that could exceed <br />thresholds of significance. The EIR will also evaluate <br />the project's compliance with the City's Climate Action <br />Plan and other relevant state plans, such as AS 32. <br />Hazards and Hazardous Materials <br />The project site has been previously used as an <br />Yes <br />agricultural field, a mortuary was located on a portion of <br />the site from 1950 to 1980, and a portion of the site <br />was used as a gas station from 1929 through the <br />1980s. Because of these previous uses, hazardous <br />materials that exceed human health screening levels <br />could exist on the project site. Potential impacts related <br />to onsite hazardous materials will be evaluated In the <br />EIR. <br />Hydrology and Water Quality <br />The project site Is developed and mostly impervious. <br />No <br />The current regulations governing water quality and <br />hydrology would be imposed on the design and <br />development of the project and with the incorporation of <br />mandated Best Management Practices and Low Impact <br />Development practices. The IS will describe how <br />hydrology and water quality impacts would be <br />avoided or reduced to below a level of significance. <br />Land Use and Planning <br />As described previously, the project would require a <br />Yes <br />General Plan Land Use Amendment and zoning <br />designation change, which would be evaluated In the <br />EIR against the potential of the project to conflict with a <br />Ian or policy that avoids or mitt ates an environmental <br />RE Consulting <br />reneo@ronvcorisulting.com <br />
