Project No. D-3885-06 Christ Our Savior Catholic Parish Introduction The primary objectives of this study were to explore subsurface conditions beneath the project site and to evaluate the existing subsurface conditions relative to foundation support, lateral earth pressure design parameters, seismic design parameters, earthwork and earthquake-induced liquefaction potential study. In general, the study objectives were met by a site reconnaissance, exploratory drilling sampling of earth materials, laboratory testing, seismic study and engineering analysis. The general scope and objectives of the study were established in collaboration with the project architect. Site Description The project site is essentially a level ground area located just southeast ofthe Intersection of West Alton Avenue and South Raitt Street, east of Jaguar Way. More specifically, it is located at 2000 West Alton Avenue in the City of Santa Ana, Califomia as shown on Vicinity Map (Plate A) and Google Map (Plate D) in Appendix A. Local relief is very low (nearly flat). Site elevation is about 40 feet above sea level. Proposed Development Proposed development consists of a new single-story Sanctuary Building, approximately 18,785 square foot (sft), a new single-story Parish Center including office building, approximately 5,938 sft, a new single-story meeting room building, approximately 4,796 sft in areas and site improvement for this new campus as shown on the Plot Plan and Boring/CPT Location Map (Plate B-2) in Appendix A. t I T I I I I T I I T I I ll At this time, structural plans or foundations plans are not available however according to project structural engineer, the magnitude ofdesign loads for Sanctuary building is heary about 150 kips and other building structures will have relatively moderate loads.
