Tract Map No. 2004-04 DISCUSSION Request of Applicant Brandywine Development is requesting approval of an amendment application to change the zoning designation from Arterial Commercial (C5) and Two- Family Residence (R2) to Single-Family Residence (Rl) and a tentative tract map to allow a subdivision to construct six single-family residences at 517 North Euclid Street and 5117 West Fifth Street. Property Description The property is located in the Arterial Commercial (C5) and Two-Family Residence (R2) zoning districts and has a General Plan land use designation of Low Density Residential at seven dwelling units per acre (LR7) . This site is surrounded by a church to the east, a commercial building to the south, and single-family residences to the west and north (Exhibits 1 and 2) . EXHIBIT A 758-13 Amendment Applicant No. Tentative Tract Map No. July 26, 2004 Page 2 2004-04 2004-04 The subject property is approximately 1.04 acres in area. is flat, rectangular in shape and is currently occupied family dwelling unit. The property is located on the Euclid Street between Fifth and Sixth Streets. The property by a single- east side of Project Description The current zoning classification for the subject property is Arterial Commercial (C5) and Two-Family Residence (R2). In order to allow the proposed residential proj ect, a zone change to Single-Family Residence (Rl) is required to make the proj ect consistent with the General Plan IS land use designation of Low Density Residential (Exhibit 3) . The proposed project involves the demolition and removal of a single- family dwelling and the construction of six new single-family residences. The lot sizes range from 7,295 square feet to 7,971 square feet. Two different floor plans are proposed for this proj ect . Plan 1 includes 2,233 square feet of living area with three bedrooms and a den and Plan 2 includes 2,395 square feet of living area with three bedrooms and a den. Both floor plans have three full bathrooms. An interior laundry room, a center island in the kitchen, separate tub and shower in the master bathroom, a walk-in closet in the master bedroom and a fireplace in the family room are proposed as interior amenities. Access to the proposed project will be provided Streets. A two-car attached garage and two tandem will be provided for each unit. from Fifth and Sixth spaces in the driveway The architectural style proposed for this proj ect is contemporary with some Craftsman and Mediterranean influences. The exterior material proposed includes tile roof, stucco, precast concrete stone veneer, and decorative window surrounds. Arched windows and porches are features used on the elevations to characterize the Spanish Mediterranean architectural style. Additionally, siding and porches with square columns are features used on the elevations to characterize the Craftsman Bungalow styles (Exhibits 4 through 7) . Analysis of the Issues The property fronting Euclid Street is currently zoned Arterial Commercial (C5). This zoning, which has been in place over 20 years, was intended to promote development of commercial uses that would 758-14 Amendment Applicant No. Tentative Tract Map No. July 26, 2004 Page 3 2004-04 2004-04 support the adj acent residential uses. Al though Euclid Street is an arterial street, this area failed to generate the anticipated demand for commercial uses due to the limited size and depth of the lots. Since approval of a commercial development would potentially impact the adjacent residential neighborhood, a rezoning to Single-Family Residence (Rl) is recommended. There are some commercial uses at the corner of First and Euclid Streets as well as the southeast corner of Fifth and Euclid Streets. However, most properties in the area are primarily residential uses or vacant. The proposed Single-Family Residence (Rl) zoning district will be consistent with the residential General Plan land use designation and the predominant land use pattern of this area. The tentative tract map is proposed to subdivide the existing 1.04-acre si te into six parcels. The subdivision has been reviewed and is in conformance with the City's subdivision regulations as well as the California Subdivision Map Act. The individual parcels meet the provisions of the zoning code with respect to minimum lot size and frontage. The proposed subdivision is consistent with the Low Density Residential land use designation and all other elements of the General Plan. As a result, staff recommends that the City Council approve Amendment Application No. 2004-02 and Tentative Tract Map No. 2004-04 (County Map No. 16636) as conditioned (Exhibits 8 and 9) . CEQA Compliance In accordance with the California Environmental Quality Act, Mitigated Negative Declaration and Mitigation Monitoring Program, Environmental Review No. 2004-22 has been prepared for this project (Exhibit 10). ...,~¿~//;J.".7 ;:.

Setting The project site is ~ocated at 517 North ßUC~ld otreet ctTITI-51~/ West Fifth Street. The subj ect property is approximately 1.04 acres in area. The property is flat, rectangular in shape, and is currently occupied by a single-family dwelling unit. The property is located on the east side of Euclid Street between Fifth and Sixth Streets. Access to the proj ect site would be provided from Fifth Street and Sixth Street. The property is located partially in the Arterial Commercial (C5) and partially in the Two-Family Residence (R2) zoning districts and has a General Plan land use designation of Low Density Residential at 7 dwelling units per acre (LR7). The site is surrounded by, a church to the east, a commercial building to the south, and single-family residences to the west and north. Proposed Project The proposed proj ect involves the demolition and removal of a single-family dwelling, and the construction of six new single- family residences. The lot sizes would range from 7 J 295 square feet to 7¡971 square feet. A total of two different floor plans are proposed for this project. Plan 1 includes 2,233 square foot of living area with three bedrooms and a den and Plan 2 includes 2,395 square feet of living area with three bedrooms and a den. A 2-car attached garage and two tandem spaces in the driveway would be provided for each unit. The architectural style proposed for this project is contemporary with some craftsman and Mediterranean influences. The exterior material proposed includes tile roof I stucco, precast concrete stone veneer¡ and decorative window surrounds. Arched windows and porches are features used on the elevations 758~o to characterize the Spanish Mediterranean architectural style. Additionally, siding and porches with square columns are features used on the elevations to characterize the craftsman architecture. ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT ANALYSIS The following lS an environmental analysis on the proposed proj ect based on the City of Santa Ana's CEQA Environmental Checklist Form. The analysis incorporates by reference the analysis in the City of Santa Ana Updated General Plan Land Use Element FEIR. Additionally, a si te- specific geotechnical report and historic resource assessment have been prepared for the proposed project and has been incorporated into the environmental analysis. For each environmental lssue, the analysls ldentl=les the level ot lmpact -tnat lS anticipclc..ê" Lü occur. Where required, mitigation measures have been identified to reduce potentially significant impacts to a level considered less than significant. I. AESTHETICS A. Have a substantial adverse effect on a scenic vista? B. Damage scenic resources, including but not limited trees, rock outpourings and historic buildings within State highway? to a No Impact The project site is situated within an urban setting and surrounded by developed land uses. There are no scenic vistas or scenic resources wi thin the immediate vicinity of the proj ect si te. Therefore, implementation of the proposed proj ect would not result In adverse impacts to any scenic vista or scenlC resources along a State Highway. c. Substantially degrade the existing visual quality of the site and it's surrounding? character or Less Than Significant Impact The General Plan Urban Design Element identifies that the project site is located within the West Side Design District. ~he Urban Design Element establishes goals and policies to help guide the design of land uses proposed within a Design District. Specifically, land uses proposed within a Design District should 2 7 5B~34° e)~lÜbit high quality design and should incorporate design elements that are proportional and aesthetically related to the District seLting. The architectural style proposed for this project lS contemporary with some craftsman and MediLerranean influences. The exterior material proposed includes tile roof, stucco, precast concrete stone veneer, and decorative window surrounds. Arched windows and porches are features used on the elevations to characterize the Spanish Mediterranean architectural style. Through the City's development review process, the proposed project was determined to be consistent with the City's Urban Design Element and compatible with the existing aesthetic pnvironment wiLhin the ro-ject area. .TheTefore, implementation of the proposed proj ect would not decrease the existlng ..vls.ua characLer of the project site or surrounding project area. D. Create a new source of substantial light or glare, which would adversely affect day or nighttime views in the area? Less Than Significant Impact The proj ect site lS situated within an urbanized area and is surrounded by onstreet lighting. ImplementatioL of the proposed pro] ect would not introduce substantial amounts of new sources of light and glare into the project area. Any lighting provided on the pro] ect site would be designed and located so that all direct rays are confined to the project site. 1. AGRICULTURE A. Convert Prime Farmland, Unique Farmland or Farmland of Statewide Importance to non-agriculture use? Conflict with existing zoning for agriculture use or a Williamson Contract? Involve other changes in the existing environment, which, due to their location or nature, could individually or cumulatively result in loss of Farmland, to non-agriculture use? B. C. No Impact According LO the California Department of Conservation Farmland Mapping and Monitoring Program, the project site does not contain Unique Farmlands, Prime Farmlands or Farmlands of Statewide Importance. Additionally, based on a site visit 5 1SßL35 conducted by the City's Environme~tal Coordinator, the project si~e is currently not in agriculture production. Therefore, implemen~ation of the proposed project would not result in adverse impacts to any agricultural resources. AIR QUALITY A. Conflict with or obstruct implementation of applicable Air Quality Attainment Plan or congestion Management Plan? No Impact The project site is located within the South Coast Air Basin and subj ect to the requirements of the Clear Þ.ir Act at both the Federal and State level, as implemented by the South Coast Air Quality Management District. The Soutt:.- -Coast ATr - QuaIi fy Management Plan (AQMP) is the primary planning document to monitor if air quality standards and objectives are being achieved in the South Coast Air Basin. The air quality ob] ecti ves in the AQMP are based upon population and growth projections provided in regional planning programs and local general plans. A project could be in conflict with the AQMP if it results in population and growth impacts beyond those identified In regional planning programs and/or local general plans. The proposed project is consistent with the General Plan and its associated growth proj ections. Therefore, the proposed proj ect would be considered to be consistent with the growth projections and air quality objectives established in ~he South Coast AQMP. B. Violate any stationary source contribute to an existing violation? air quality or proposed standard or air quality Potentially Significant Unless Mitigation Incorporated As mentioned previously, the South Coast Air Quality Management District (SCAQMD) regulates air quality pollutants in the South Coast Air Basin. Pollutants for which ambient standards have been es~ablished are referred to as criteria pollutants. Criteria pollutants include Ozone (03) I Carbon Monoxide (CO) I Nitrogen Dioxide (N02) I Sulfur Dioxide (S02), and Particulate Matter (PMIO). The South Coast Air Basin is currently a non- attainmen~ area for Ozone and Particulate Matter. The SCAQMD considers an air quality impact to be significant if it exceeds Lhe criteria pollutant Lhresholds identified in the Table 1. 4 788-<>36 Table 1 EMISSION THRESHOLDS OF SIGNIFICANCE I Project Pollutant Construction Tons/ Operations Pounds/Day Quarter Pounds/Day , Carbon Monoxide 550 24.75 550 !

The primary source of operational emissions would be generated by vehicle travel to and from the proj ect site. A relatively minor amount of gaseous emissions would also occur from natural gas and electricity usage. Using the South Coast Air Quality Management District CEQÞ. Air Quality Handbook as guideline, the threshold for potentially significant long-term air quality impacts would involve the development of 166 single-family dwelling units. The proposed project would be less than the threshold of significance for long-term alr quality impacts established by the CEQA Air Quality Handbook. Additionally, the proposed project lS consistent with the General Plan and the long emissions generated by the project are accounted for in the City's General Plan Land Use Element EIR. Short-term constructed Related Air Quality Impacts Construction operations associated with the proposed project could potentially result in short-term increases in particulate mater, and to a lesser degree increases in carbon monoxide and ozone. Peak day construction emissions for most pollutants would occur during the clearing, excavation and grading phases. Using the South Coast Air Quality Management District CEQA Air Quality Handbook as a guideline, the threshold for potentially significant short-term air quality impacts would involve the grading of 1,309,000 sq-c.are feet of area. Þ~ssuming grading of the entire proj ect site, approximately 43 J S6 0 square feet of area would be graded. The proposed grading wo-c.ld be considerably less than the threshold of significance established by the CEQA 5 75BZ.S'Y Air Quality Handbook. To mHllnuze dust impacts during const2:'uction, the proposed proj ect would be required to comply with SCAQMD Fugitive Dust Rule 403 to suppress dust gene2:'ated by construction operations. Mitigation Measures To ensure compliance with SCAQMD Fugitive Dust Rule 403, grading plans and demolition plans for the proposed project shall reflect the following notes: 1. All material excavated or graded will be sufficiently watered to prevent excessive amounts of dust. Watering with complete coverage shall occur at least twice daily, once in the late morning and once after worK lS uaone ror the aay. . .. 2. All clearing during period averaged over smog episodes. and earthwork activities of high winds (winds greater one hour) or during Stage 1 shall cease than 25 mph or Stage 2 3. Streets surround~ng the project s~te should be cleaned at the end of each day of construction. 4. All material transported offsite sufficiently watered or securely excessive amounts of dust. shall covered eithe2:' be to prevent 5. The amount of area disturbed by clearing and earthwork activities shall be minimized at all times. 6. Equipment engines shall be condition and in proper manufacturer's specifications. maintained in tune according good to 7. To the extent shall be used activities. feasible, gasoline powered equipment for onsite and offsite construction c. Resul t in a cumula ti ve1y considerable net increase of any criteria pollutant for which the proj ect region is non- attainment under an applicable federal or state ambient air quality standard? Less Than Significant Impact 6 75B~31f The proposed project would be co~sistent with the City's General Plan and would be consistent with the local growth forecasts for the Orange County sub region and regional emissions budget developed by the Sou~hern California Association of Governments for the 1999 lÜr Quality Management Plan. SCAG has determined that the air pollution impacts of any project that conforms to local growth forecasts would be consistent with this forecast and the regional air quality impacts would be adequately mi tigated by the plan to a level considered less than significant. D. Expose Sensitive concentrations? receptors to substantial pollutant Less than Siqnificant :r::~act The proposed project would not exceed the South Coast Air Quality Management District threshold for potentially significant long-term and short-term air quality impacts. Therefore, implementation of the proposed project would not expose sensitive receptors to any substantial concentrations of air quality pollutants. E. Create objectionable of people? odors affecting a substantial nUIrlber Less Than Significant Impact The operation of the proposed project would not generate significant objectionable odors to the public. Construction operations associated with the proposed project could emit construction equipment emission odors that could potentially be objectionable. However, the potential impact would be short-term and would not be considered a significant impact. BIOLOGICAL RESOURCES A. Have a substantial adverse impact, either directly or through habitat modifications, on any species identified as a candidate, sensitive or special status species in local or regional plans, policies or regulations or by the California Department of Fish and game or U. S. Fish and Wildlife Services? B. Have a substantial adverse impact on any riparian habitat or natural community identified in local or regional plans, policies, and regulations or by the California Department of Fish and game or U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service? 7 75B~39 C. Adversely impact federally protected wetlands either individually or in combination with the known or probable impacts of other activities through direct removal, filling hydrological interruption, or other means? D. Conflict with any local policies or ordinances biological resources, such as tree preservation ordinance? protecting policy or No Impact The project site is situated within an urban setting. According to the California Department of Fish and Game Natural Diversity Data Base and the City's Updated General Plan Land Use Element EIR, there are no sensitive biological resources located on or c- .\Ûl +:-hlD tbt=: n<=>arbv Vl cinitv of . the prol ect site. Therefore, implementation of the proposed proj ect would not result in any adverse impacts to any sensitive biological resources. CULTURAL RESOURCES A. Cause a substantial adverse change in the significance of a historical resource as defined in Section 15064.5? Less Than Significant Impact The proposed project would require the demolition of an existing residential structure. The residential structure is refereed ~o as the Hull-Holmes-Montgomery House, the names of its previous owners. The house exhibits a Classical Revival design. A review of building records, indicate that the structure was constructed between 1901 and 190~. The house originally consisted of two and half stories. In 1953 the house was relocated to its present location in 1953. During its relocation the upper level of the house was removed. Because of its age, there is the potential that the house could be considered a historic resource. A historic resources assessment was prepared by Leslie Heumann in May 2004¡ to determine Lhe historic significant of the HGll- Holmes-Montgomery House. A copy of the historic resource assessment is available for review at the City of Santa Ana Planning Department. The Historic resources assessment concluded that the Hull- Holmes-Montgomery House would not be eligible for either the National or California Register because of its loss of integriLY. Additionally¡ Hull-Holmes-Montgomery House has not been designated a historic property by the City of Santa Ana nor 8 75Bl,!¿40 has it been listed in the Santa Ana Register of Historical Properties. Therefore, the demolition of the structure would not be considered an adverse impact to a historic resource. B. Cause a substantial adverse change in the significance of a unique archaeological resource pursuant to Section 15064.5? C. Directly or indirectly disturb paleontogical resource or site? or destroy a unique D. Disturb any human remains, of formal cemeteries. including those interred outside No Impact According to the General known cultural resources that the project site is the discovery of unknown Plan Land Use Element EIR, there are no on the project sites. Given the fact currently improved, the probability for cultural resources would be low. VI. GEOLOGY/SOILS The following analysis lS based on a Geotechnical Engineering Evaluation prepared by H&T Soils Testing in February 2004. The Geotechnical Investigation is available for review at the City of Santa Ana Planning Department. A-I. Rupture of a known earthquake fault, as delineated on the most recent Alquist-Priolo Earthquake Fault Zoning Map issued by the State geologist for the area or based on other substantial evidence of a known fault? No Impact The Seismic Hazards Mapping Act of 1991 established a statewide seismic hazard mapping and technical advisory program to assist cities and counties in protecting the public health and safety from the effects of strong ground shaking, liquefaction, landslides or other ground failure and other seismic hazards caused by earthquakes. Additionally, the Alquist-Priolo Act directs the State Geologist to delineate regulatory zones that encompass surface traces of active faults that have potential for future surface fault rupture to regulate development near active faults in order to mitigate the hazard of surface fault rupture. 9 75 se_14°fO According to the project geotechnical report, ~he projec"C is not located within a current Alquist-Priolo Earthquake Zone :or :ault surface rupture hazard. The surface traces active or potentially active faults are not known to pass directly through or extend towards the project site. Therefore, the po~ential for surface rupture due to faulting occurring beneath the site during the design life of the proposed project is considered low. site Fault of any A-2. Strong Seismic Ground shaking? Less Than Significant Impact The project site is situated within a highly active seismic _n::>aimLOLsQutherp.Ca l ifornia. A total of 3 8 active faults have been identified within an approximate 60-mlle radlus. 6t . th~ project site. The NewportjInglewood Fault located approximately 13 miles south from the City of Santa Ana is considered to be one of the most dominant faults in regard to potential seismic shaking impacts. The proj ect site could potentially be subj ect to a maximum credible hori zontal ground acceleration of 0.3 Og from a magnitude 6.9 earthquake along the Ne~~ort/Inglewood fault zone. A seismic event of this scale could potentially result significant damage to the proposed project. However, the seismic risks at the project site would not be considered significantly different from other areas In the southern California region. To minimize potential selsmlC shaking impacts, the proposed proj ect would be subj ect to the seismic safeLY standards of the Uniform Building Code. Compliance with the Uniform Building Code would reduce potential seismic shaking impacts to a level considered less -chan significant. A-3. Seismic-related ground failure, including liquefaction? Less Than Significant Impact Soil liquefaction occurs when loose soil deposits below the water table are subj ected to large ground accelerations generated from seismic events. Liquefaction is generally known to occur in saturated cohesionless soils at depths shallower than about 50-feet. According to the project geo-cechnical report, the potential for liquefaction impacts would be considered very low. Therefore, implementation of the proposed projecL would result in less than significant liquefaction risks. 10 75&42 A-4. Landslides No Impact The project area is flat without any topographical relief. According to the project geotechnical report, there are no landslide planes or slopes within the project area. Therefore, implementation of the project would not result in adverse impacts in regards to landslides. B. Would the project result in substantial soil erosion or the loss of topsoil? Potentially Significant Unless Mitigation Incorporated Erosion refers to the removal of soil from exposed bedrock surfaces by water or wind. The effects of erosion are inte:lsified with an increase in slope, the n2rrowing of runoff ch2n:lels and by the removal of groundcover, which leaves the soil exposed. Ccmstruction operations for the proposed proj ect would require the excavation, removal and recompaction of onsite soils, importing of fill material, and grading. The uncovered soils on the project site could potentially result In erosion and sedimentation impacts to onsite and offsite drainage facilities. This po~ential impact could incre2se during periods of rain. To reduce potential erosion impacts to a level considered less than significant, the following mitigation measure shall be implemented. Mitigation Measure . Prior ~o issuance of grading permits the applicant shall submit for review and approval a surface drainage/ gradlng / erosion control plan, prepared by a registered Civil Engineer, showing the direction and means of flow to the adj acent street. The plan is to include existing and proposed elevations at and adj acent to all property lines. Drainage routed to the street must be directed beneath the sidewalk and through the curb. c. Would the project result in the loss of a unique geological feature? No Impact 1 ] 7 5B\~43 According to the project geotechnical report and the City's General Plan Land Use Element EIE I the proj ect site does not contain any unique geologic features. Therefore, implementation of the proposed proj ect would not result in adverse impacts to any unique geologic feature. D. In the project located on strata or soil that is unstable or that would become unstable as a result of the proj ect and potentially result in on-or off-site landslide, lateral spreading, subsidence, liquefaction or collapse? Potentially Significant Unless Mitigation Incorporated According to the project geotechnical report, rials on the ro'ect site consist of fine silts with small amounts of mlca presen~ an over the last 10,000 years by flood plain or deposition. The project geotechnical report concluded that construction of the proposed project would be geotechnically feasible with design recommendations incorporated into the project. the earth sands and sandy Mitigations Measures . The geotechnical recommendations identified in the Preliminary Soils and Foundation Eeport prepared by H&T Soils testing, February 2004 shall be incorporated into plans and specifications. E. Where sewers are not available for the disposal wastewater is the soil capable of supporting the use septic tanks or alternative wastewater disposal systems? of of No Impac t The project site is located within urban setting service is available. The proposed proj ect would septic tanks or alternative disposal systems. where sewer not requlre 12 '6B~44 VII. HAZARDS/HAZARDOUS MATERIALS A. Create a significant through the routine materials? hazard to the public or the environment transport, use or disposal of hazardous B. Emit hazardous emissions or handle hazardous hazardous materials, substance or waste within mile of an existing or proposed school? or acutely one-quarter Less Than Significant Impact The operation of the proposed p~oject would not involve activities that would emit hazardous emissions or involve the e handlin of hazardous or acutely hazardous materials. Construction operations assoclate could involve incidental handling of hazardous materials such as solvents, paints, gasoline and oil. However, the proposed p~oj ect would be subj ect to compliance with local, state and federal laws and regulations regarding the storage and handling of hazardous materials. Compliance with local, state and federal laws and regulations would reduce the handling of hazardous materials to a level considered less than significant. C. Be located on a site which is located on a list of hazardous material sites compiles pursuant to Government Code Section 659662.5 and, as a result, would it create a significant hazard to the public or the environment? No Impact According to the City Santa Ana Fire Department, the project site is not included on a list of hazardous material Sl"Ces. Implementation of the proposed project would not create a significant hazard to the public or the environment. D. For a project located within an airport land use plan or where such a plan has not been adopted, within two miles where a public airport or public use airport, would the proj ect result in a safety hazard for people residing or working in the project area? No Impact According to the Orange Airports Environs Land Use County Airport Land Use Plan, the project site is Commission not located ]3 76845 within an Notification not result project area. accident potential zone, clear zone or FAA Area. ImDlementation of the proposed project would In safety hazards to people residing within the VIII. HYDROLOGY/WATER QUALITY A. Violate Regional Water Quality Control Board water quality standards or waste discharge requirements? E. Otherwise substantially degrade water quality? 1. Result in an increase in pollutant discharges to receiving waters? H. 'f...ibtItary---te aB-&;¡''¡;~..~¥ ~-=p::>:1:r:pd Wß.h~Ï bodv:, as listed on the Clean Water Act Section 303 (d) list. If so, can it result in an increase in any pollutant of which the body is already impaired? R. Cause or contribute to an exceedance of applicable surface or groundwater receiving water quality objectives or degradation of beneficial uses? O. Tributary to other enviromnentally sensitive areas? If so, can it exacerbate already existing sensitive conditions? P. Have a potentially significant surface water quality to either waters? impact or or wetland enviromnental marine, fresh S. Impact aquatic, wetland or riparian habitat? Less Than Significant Impact The primary source of potential adverse water quality impacts associated with the operation of the proposed project would be from nuisance flows. Nuisance flows is defined as runoff that occurs during periods that are not usually associated with rainfall, and are most commonly produced from landscaping irrigation, leaking pipes, and water used to wash off surfaces tributary to the street. Since nuisance flows usually originates in the streetl they commonly contain many common pollutants found in streets such as oil and grease and sediment. Such impacts could potentially be in conflict with water quality standards established by the State Regional Water Quality Control Board. However, given the scale of the proposed project ]4 1SEÞ46 nuisance flows are expected to be minimal and would have a less than significant water quality impact. However, the project would be subject to City of Santa Ana Federal Clean Water Protection Enterprise Fees to help minimize cumulative water quality impacts generated by the proposed project and other developments within the project area. Additionally, during construction operations erosion control measures and other Best Management Practices would be employed to minimize construction- related water quality impacts. B. Substantially deplete groundwater supplies or interfere substantially with groundwater recharge such that there would be a net deficit in aquifer volume or a lowering of the local groundwater table level. Q. Have a potentially groundwater quality? s.:Lgn~fJ_cant a~vt::.L::;)'= ~J.LLl:-'U.C-t. S!'l No Impact Construction operations for the project would not require dewatering activities. The proposed project would also not interfere with ground water recharge because the project area is not located In an area that is known to recharge the ground water system. Implementation of the proposed proj ect would not result in significant impacts to any underground water supplies. C. Substantially alter the existing drainage pattern of the si te or area, including through the alteration of the course of stream or river, or substantially increase the rate or amount of surface runoff in a manner, which would result in flooding on or off-site? D. Create or contribute runoff water which, would exceed the capaci ty of existing or planned storm water drainage systems or provide substantial additional sources of polluted run-off? L. Result in increased impervious surfaces and associated runoff? M. Create a significant adverse environmental impact to drainage patterns due to changes in runoff flow rates or volumes. Potentially Significant Unless Mitigation Incorporated The proposed project would not introduce substantial amounts of new impervious surfaces onto the project site. Existing rates of 15 i~B47 surface water runoff are not anticipated to increase significantly. Through the City's development review process, the Public Works Agency has determined the existing drainage facilities within the project area could provide adequate draina'ge for the proj ect. However, final drainage plans would still need to be prepared to determine the size and exact location of onsite drain facilities. Mitigation Measure F. G. H. . Prior to issuance of a grading permit, the project applicant shall submit a final surface water runoff evaluation for review and approval showing existing and proposed facilities and methods of draining the site 1 ~~eediJ:1tÞE::- caJ2açi t)' of any street or adjacent storm drain facility. . Prior to the issuance of building permits the project applicant shall be responsible for the constructio~ of onsite storm drain systems. .

All elevations must be referenced to the National Geodetic Vertical Datum. Reference should be made to t~e Flood Plain Management Ordinance for complete requirements, Santa Ana Municipal Code, Chapter 7. IX. LAND USE/PLANNING A. Physically divide an established community? No Impact The project site is situated within aD area that is characterized with residential land uses. The proposed proj ect would De compatible with existiDg residential uses iD the area and would not physically divide any established community or neighborhood. B. Conflict with regulation of adopted for environmental any applicable land use plan, policy, or an agency with jurisdiction over the project the purpose of avoiding or mitigating an effect? Less Than Significant Impact The General Plan designation for the project site is Low Density Residential (LR-7), which is consistent with the proposed project. However, to implement the proposed project the zoning designation on the project site would need to be changed from Arterial Commercial (C5) and Two-Family Residence (R2) to Single-Family Residence (Rl). With approval of the zone change the project would not be in conflict with any planning programs or policies applicable to the project site. C. Conflict with any applicable habitat natural community plan? conservation plan or No Impact 17 pag4'6B-49 According to the City's General Plan, the project site included within any habitat conservation plan or any community conservation plan. Therefore, implementation proposed project would not be in conflict with any conservation plan. is not natural of the habitat X. MINERAL RESOURCES A. Resu1 t in the loss of availability of a locally important mineral resource recovery site delineated on a local general plan, specific plan or other land use plan? No Impact According to the City's Updated Genera EIR, there are no areas in Santa Ana that are designated significant Mineral Aggregate Resource Areas. Therefore, implementation of the proposed proj ect would not result in the loss of any regionally or locally important mineral resource. XI. NOISE C. Exposure of persons to or generation of noise levels in excess of standards established in local general plan or noise ordinance, or applicable standards of other agencies. A substantial permanent increase in ambient noise levels in the project vicinity above levels existing without the project. A. Less Than Significant Impact The proj ect site is located wi thin the City of Santa Ana and subj ect to noise standards and guidelines in the General Plan Noise Element and Municipal Code Noise Ordinance. The City of Santa Ana Land Use/Noise Compatibility Guidelines shown in Table 2 identifies the interior and exterior noise standards for land uses lD the City. 18 p¡5S~O Table 2 Noise Element Standards LAND USE CATEGORIES CNEL Categories Uses Interior J Exterior 2 I Single family, duplex, multi-family 453 65 I Residential I I Mobile home -- 45 45 I -- 65 Institutional Hospital, schools' cIassrooms/play¡"ryounds 65 i Open Space NOTES: Church, library Parks -- 65 1 ~hn 111m"'''''' lli:droDlTIS bathrooms. kitchens living rooms, dining rooms, c1osets, corridors/hallways 2. Exterior areas shall mean: private yard of single family homes mobile home park park's picnic area school's playground common areas private open space shall be excluded from exterior areas provided sufficient common area is included within the proj ect I i 3. Interior noise level requirements contemplate a closed window condition. Mechanical ventilation I I system or other means of natural ventilation shall be provided as of Chapter 12, Section 1305 of Uniform Building Code. The proposed project includes the development of detached single-family dwellings. The Noise Element establishes a interior noise standard of 45 dB CNEL and a outdoor nOlse standard of 65 dB CNEL for single family detached homes. The proj ect site lS situated wi thin an area that consists of residential land uses. Fifth Street and Sixth Street, roadways adj acent to the proj ect site would have relatively low traffic volumes and associated noise impacts. However, the project site could be impacted by noise generated from higher traffic volumes along Euclid Street. Existing noise levels within the project area are anticipated to be less than 65 dB CNEL. For those dwelling uni ts that have outdoor living areas adjacent to Euclid Street a concrete block wall would be provided along the perime1:.er of the proj ect site 1:.0 reduce noise levels. Additionally! based on a typical 19 Pa15B~51 attenuation factor of 20 residential development, are anticipated to not standards. dBA with windows closed for Title 24 interior nOlse levels for the proj ect exceed the City's interior noise The proposed project would generate a minimal amount of traffic w~thin the project area. No significant increases in existing noise levels are expected to occur from project related traffic. B. Exposure of persons to or generation of groundborne vibration or groundborne noise levels. excessive Less Than Significant Impact Vibration is a trembling, _quivering, or oscillating motion of the earth. Vibration can be eltnernnaEUia,- asitf dle IULlll u[ earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, sea waves, landslides, etc., or man-made as from explosions, the action of heavy machinery, or heavy vehicles such as trucks or trains. Both natural and man- made vibration may be continuous such as from operating machinery, or transient as from an explosion. Construction operations for the proposed project would involve conventional construction equipmenL and building practices. No significant vibration impacts would result from construction operations. Additionally, the operation of the proposed project would not result in any long-term vibration impacts. D. A substantial temporary or noise levels in the project without project. periodic increase in ambient vicinity above levels existing Potentially Significant Unless Mitigation Incorporated Short-term noise impacts are impacts associated with site preparation, excavation, grading, and construction of the proposed project. The construction-related short-term noise levels would be higher than the existing or ambient noise levels in the project area, but would no longer occur once construction of the project is complete. The City's Municipal Code recognizes that some forms of noise are required for urban development and maintenance and are difficult to control. Section 18-314 (e) exempts noise sources associated with construction, repair, remodeling, or grading of any real property, provided said activities do not take place between the hours of 8:00 p.m. and 7:00 a.m. on weekdays I including Saturday, or any time on Sunday or a federal holiday. 20 Pa¡SSio52 While adverse, construction, when performed in compliance with the requirements of the Municipal Code is typical~y considered to be less than significant. However, construction noise associated with the proj ect would have the potential to create nuisance noise at nea~by residential land uses. To minimize short -term construction noise impacts the following mitigation measures shall be implemented. Mitigation Measures E. . Grading Plans and Building Plans for the proposed project shall note that construction activities on the project site shall not take place between the hours of 8;00 p.m. and 7:00 a.m. on weekdays, including Saturday, or any time on Sunday or a federal holiday. . No construction equipment on the project site shall including warming up until after 7:00 a.m. operate . All construction equipment shall be properly maintained and tuned to minimize noise emissions. . All equipment shall be fitted with properly operating mufflers and air intake silencers. . Stockpiling and vehicle staging areas shall be located away from existing residential uses. . The name and telephone number of a contact person shall be posted on-site. . Construction shall be subject to any and all provisions set forth by the City of Santa Ana Planning Department. For a proj ect located wi thin an airport land use plan or where such a plan has not been adopted, within two miles of a public airport or public use airport, would the proj ect expose people residing or working in the proj ect area to excessive noise levels? No Impact Þ"ccording to the Orange County Þ"irport Environs Land Use Plan, the pro=ect site is not located within an area that is subject to high levels Gf aircraft noise. Therefore, implementation of 2] 1iSr53 the proposed project would not expose people within the project area to significant aircraft noise impacts. XII. POPULATION AND HOUSING A, Induce substantial population growth in an directly or indirectly through extension other infrastructure. area, either of roads or Less Than Significant Impact The proposed proj ect would add an additional 6 single- family dwelling units to the City's existing housing stock. Based on the City's current average household size, the population in the City is Dro~ected to increase by approximately 30 persons. This increase is consistent with t e lty s uenera~ The proj ected popula::ion increase associated with the proposed project would not exceed or significantly contribute to exceeding the regional population growth proj ections for Santa Ana. B. Displace substantial numbers necessi tating the construction elsewhere. Displace substantial numbers of people, necessitating construction of replacement housing elsewhere? of of existing replacement housing, housing C. the No Impact The proposed proj ect would increase the housing stock in the City and would not displace any existing onsite residential uses or any off site residential uses surrounding the project area. XIII. PUBLIC SERVICES Fire Protection: Less than Significant Impact The City of Santa Ana Fire Department would provide fire protection and emergency services to the project area. The City maintains ten fire stations throughout the City. The stations are situated where no location in the City is outside of an approximate 1.5 radius of a fire station. Additionally; the City maintains a Mutual Þ.id .Agreement for fire protection serVlces wi th the neighboring Cities of Fountain Valley, Garden Grove, Tustill¡ Irvine and Costa IVJesa. According to the City of Santa Ana Insurance Service Organization, Lhe City has a low fire risk rating. 22 7~B~ According to the Santa Ana Fire Department, the goal of the fire department is ~o have an onsite response time of 5: 00 or less 80% of the time. Fire Station No.8 located at 501 North Newhope would be the closest fire station to the project site. Presently, a shift at Fire Station NO.8 consists of six fire fighters, 1 fire truck, and 1 emergency response unit. The proposed proj ect would result in an increased demand for fire protection and emergency services within the project area. The Santa Ana Fire Department has indicated that under existing levels of manpower and equipment, it does not anticipate any sigrcificant constraints in providing adequate fire protection services to the proposed project. The existing fire stations in theproj~~t area would be able to adequately respond to project- related demand for fire ~ and emergency serVlces. 1-O.I1J1 Llul1dl1y, t.hrough the City's development review process, the Santa Ana Fire Department has determined that the proposed pro] ect would be in compliance with the City's Fire Code. Police Protection: Less Than Significant Impact The Santa Ana Police Department would provide police protection services for the proposed project. The Police Department is headquartered at 60 Civic Center Plaza. The City of Santa Ana is subdivided into four policing districts, with each district serving a section of the City. The proposed proj ect is located wiLhin the Westend District. Implementation of the proposed project would increase the demand for police protection services. The Santa Ana Police Department has indicated that under existing levels of manpower and equipment, they would have the ability to provide adequate police protection services. School Facilities: Potentially Incorporated Significant Unless Mitigation The proj ect site is wi thin the boundaries of the Garden Grove School District. The proposed project would increase the number of students at nearby schools and would contribute to increase demand for school services. The project would be subject to school impact fees to fund the enhancement of existing school facilities or for the construction of new schoel facilities. The payment of school impact fees to the Garden Grove School District would mitigate project-related impacts to school services to a level considered less than significant. 23 75~5° Mitigation Measure . Prior to the issuance of building permits, the project developer shall submit evidence to the City of Santa Ana of a fee payment between the developer and the Garden Grove School District to offset school facility related impacts. Parks: Less Than Significant The City of Santa Ana presently operates 35 facilities within its parks and recreation network, along with several public school grounds. The park and recreation facil i ties wi thin the City of Santa Ana include 342.5 acres of lands¡ which is equivalent to apprgx:imately one.. acre per 1,000 residents. According to the City's General plan Land. Use Element .t.;l.K, the City's current goal for parkland is 2.0 acres per 1,000 residents. Based on the Cities current parkland goal and existing parkland to population ratio, additional parkland is neeõed to meet the park needs of the community. The City's Subdivision Code requires residential proj ects with 50 or more units to dedicate open space to help increase private and public parkland In t~e City. The proposed project involves the development of 6 single-family dwellings and therefore, would not be subj ect to the Subdivision Code parkland requirements. Implementation of the proposed pro] ect would result in minimal lncreases in the City's population and would have less than a sigr.ificant impact on the existing park2-and/popula~ion ratio in the City. XIV. RECREATION A. Would the project increase the use of existing neighborhood and regional parks or other recreational facilities such that substantial physical deterioration of the facility would occur or be accelerated? B. Does the project include recreational facilities or require the construction or expansion of recreational facilities, which might have an adverse physical effect on the environment. Less Than Significant Impact As mentioned above, to meet current and additional parkland additional parkland is needed in Santa Ana future park needs of the community. Without and recreational facilities being provided, 24 1iB~56 residents would continue to use existing recreational facilities lTI the City. Implementation of the proposed project would result lTI minimal increases in the City's population and would have less than a significant impact on the demand for existing or new recreation facilities.

The City of Santa Ana produces water from two sources. The Orange County Groundwater Basin provides 66% of the annual water supply and the Metropolitan Water District provides 34% of the annual water supply. The City of Santa Ana has 19 active wells with combined capacities of approximately 42,500 gallons per minute. The City also has seven MWD connections with combined normal operating capacities of 20,700 gallons per minute. The total combined capacity of all water production facilities is 63,200 gallons per minute. According to the City's 2000 Urban Water Management Plan, the projected water demand for the City in 2004 would be approximately 51,000 acre feet per year. The proposed project is consistent with the General Plan and the water demands for the pro'ect are accounted for in the City's Urban Water Management.

Less Than Significant Impact The project area is improved with exiting wastewater distribution facilities. Wastewater service for the proposed proj ect would be provided by, the City of Santa Ana and the Orange County Sanitation District (OCSD). Wastewater from the proj ect would be treated at the OCSD treatment plant No.1 in the City of Fountain Valley. The wastewater demands for the proj ect are accounted for in the City's Urban Water Management Plan. The wastewater flows gene:r-ated from the proposed proj ect would provide an incidental increase in the amount of wastewater flows to the Fountain Valley treatment plant and would not have a significant impact on wastewater treatment facilities. However, to adequately serVlce the proposed proj ect new wastewater dist:r-iburion facilities would be needed.

Comply with federal, state and regulations related to solid waste? local statutes and G. Less Than Significant Impacts The City of Santa Ana would provide solid waste collection services to the project site. Solid waste is transported to the Environmental Service transfer station in Irvine, and then taken to the Bowerman Landfill. The Bowerman Landfill is permitted to accept 8,500 tons per day and is anticipated to close in year 2024. The California Integrated Waste Management Act of 1989 (AB 939) mandates all cities and counties in California to divert fifty percent of solid waste generated from landfill disposal. As part of the General Plan, the City of Santa Ana has prepared a Source Reduction and Recycling Element, which describe how the City complies with the mandates of AB 939. In order to comply with the requirements of Þ~B 939, the City has implemented several waste reduction programs including green waste programs, source reduction programs, and recycling programs. According to the California Integrated Waste Management Board, a standard generation rate of 1 ton per person per year is used to estimate the quantity of solid waste generated. The proposed project would have a solid waste disposal demand of approximately 30 tons per year or .092 tons per day. The increases in solid waste would be considered minor in comparison to the 81500 tons of solid waste taken to the Bowerman Landfill 28 7S eo! 6 0 daily. Additionally, the proposed project would be required to comply with the City's recycling program for residential uses to reduce the demand for solid waste disposal. Compliance with the City's recycling program would reduce long-term solid waste disposal service impacts to a level considered less than significant. XVII. MANDATORY FINDINGS OF SIGNIFICANCE A.

B'A Although the proposed project could have a significant effect on the environment, there will not be a significant effect in this case because revisions to the project have been made by or agreed to by the applicant. A MITIGATED NEGATIVE DECLARATION will be prepared. c, D The proposed project MAY have a significant effect on the environment and an ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT REPORT is required. D. D Although the proposed project could have a significant effect on the environment, because all potentially significant effects (a) have been analyzed adequately in an earlier EIR (EIR No. -) pursuant to applicable standards and (b) have been avoided or mitigated pursuant to that earlier EIR, including revisions or mitigation measures that are imposed upon the project, nothing further is required. E. D Pursuant to Section 15164 of the CEQA Guidelines, an EIR (EIR No. - ) has been prepared earlier and only minor technical changes or additions are necessary to make the previous EIR adequate and these changes do not raise important new issues about the significant effects on the environment. An ADDENDUM to the EIR shall be prepared. F. D Pursuant to Section 15162 of the CEQA Guidelines, an EIR (EIR No. - ) has been prepared earlier; however, subsequent proposed changes in the project and/or new information of substantial importance will cause one or more significant effects no previously discussed.

A brief explanation is required for all answers except "No Impacf' answers that are adequately supported by the information sources a lead agency cites in the parentheses following each question. A "No Impact" answer is adequately supported if the referenced information sources show that the impact simply does not apply to projects like the one involved (e.g., the project falls outside a fault rupture zone). A "No Impacf' answer should be explained where it is based on project-specific factors as well as general standards (e.g., the project will not expose sensitive receptors to pollutants, based on a project-specific screening analysis). II. All answers must take account of the whole action involved, including off-site as well as on-site, cumulative as well as project-level, indirect as well ás direct, and construction as well as operational impacts. III. "Potentially Significant Impacf' is appropriate if there is substantial evidence that an effect is significant. If there are one or more "Potentially Significant Impact" entries when the determination is made, an EIR is required. IV, "Potentially Significant Unless Mitigation Incorporated" applies where the incorporation of mitigation measures has reduced an effect from "Potentially Significant Impacf' to a "Less than Significant Impacf'.
