*:/ : 11-1 h WA appliances would be required. The skate area lighting would be LED lighting, and its operation would not be wasteful, inefficient, of unnecessary consumption of energy sources. Impacts would not be significant, and no mitigation measures are required. b) Conflict with or obstruct a state or local plan for renewable energy or energy efficiency? Less Than Significant Impact. The replacement parks would not involve buildings of structures that consume substantial energy resources other than the LED lighting poles. The proposed project would not conflict with or obstruct a state or local renewable energy or energy efficiency. Impacts would be less than significant, and no mitigation measures are required. 3.6 GEOLOGY AND SOILS Would the project: a) Directly or indirectly cause potential substantial adverse effects, including the risk of loss, injury, or death involving: 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? Refer to Division of Mines and Geology Special Publication 42. No Impact. No known faults or fault traces are known to exist in Santa Ana (Santa Ana 1982). The City of Santa An, including the replacement park site, is not within an Alquist-Priolo Earthquake Fault Zone (CGS 2018). The proposed project would not have substantial adverse effects involving Alquist-Pfiolo Fault Zones. No impact would occur. ii) Strong seismic ground shaking? Less Than Significant Impact. The proposed project would not increase exposure of people or structures to earthquake impacts. Southern California is a seismically active region. Impacts from ground shaking could occur many miles from an earthquake epicenter. The proposed project would be developed in accordance with applicable building codes and standards. Applicable state building standard is the California Building Code (CBC) (Title 24, Part 2, California Code of Regulations), with local, more restrictive amendments based on local geographic, topographic, of climatic conditions. These codes provide minimum standards to protect property and the public welfare by regulating the design and construction of excavations, foundations, building frames, retaining walls, and other building elements to mitigate the effects of seismic shaking and adverse soil conditions. The CBC's provisions for earthquake safety are based on factors such as occupancy type, the types of soil and rock onsite, and the probable strength of ground motion at the replacement park sites. Additionally, the CBC requires the preparation of projectspecificgeotechnical/engineering reports by a Certified Engineering Geologist and/or Geotechnical Engineer prior to construction of the proposed project. The city would comply with these 75C-89
