CENTENNIAL PARKISANTA ANA COLLEGE PARK REPLACEMENT PROJECT RESPONSE TO COMMENTS <br />CITY OF SANTA ANA <br />2. Response to Comments <br />speculative. Therefore, the effects on quality of life are not required to be analyzed in the <br />Initial Study. <br />D-5 The comment does not specify what the daily inconvenience and problems with the <br />neighborhood would arise from the inclusion of skate area at the park Comment is too <br />speculative, and no response is necessary. See Response D-4. <br />D-6 Raitt Street Site is proposed as a pedestrianparkwith limited traffic As stated in Response <br />D-3, increase in cut through traffic is not anticipated. <br />D-7 The safety of children, seniors, and others, and increase of homeless residing at the skate <br />area are general opinion of the commenter without any substantial evidence. The Initial <br />Study evaluates physical impacts of the proposed project. CEQA Guidelines Section <br />15204 (c) advises, "Reviewers should explain the basis for their comments, and should <br />submit data or references offering facts, reasonable assumptions based on facts, or expert <br />opinion supported by facts in support of the comments. Pursuant to Section 15064, an <br />effect shall not be considered significant in the absence of substantial evidence" <br />Therefore, where comments provided a generalized opinions, assertions, and speculations <br />as facts without any explanation for the comments, data, references, or expert opinion <br />supported by facts, such comments do not warrant further evaluation in the Initial for <br />significance determination. Therefore, while these general oppositions will be forwarded <br />to the City's decision makers for consideration, no changes to the Initial Study is required <br />and no further response is necessary. <br />D-8 Although a skate area will increase noise levels in the area, as discussed in Section 3.12, <br />noise generated from the skate area in the Raitt Street Site would not result in a significant <br />impact. Comments will be forwarded to the decision makers for consideration. No change <br />to the IS/MND is necessary. <br />D-9 See Response D-7. <br />Page 2-1 G PlaceWorkr <br />75C-289 <br />
