applies, for the same reasons, to the Modified Project. 9.1.2 Scenic Resources within State Scenic Highways Threshold: Would the Project substantially damage scenic resources, including, but not limited to, trees, rock outcroppings, and historic buildings within a state scenic highway and/or local scenic road? Finding: No impact. (Initial Study, pp. 14-15.) Facts in Support of Finding: There are no officially designated state highways or County -designated scenic highways in the vicinity of the proposed Project. (Initial Study, pp. 14-15.) This conclusion also applies, for the same reasons, to the Modified Project. 9.1.3 Light and Glare Threshold: Would the proposed Project create a new source of substantial light or glare that would adversely affect daytime or nighttime views in the area? Finding: Less than significant impact. (Initial Study, pp. 15-16.) Facts in Support of Finding: All outdoor lighting would be hooded, appropriately angled away from adjacent land uses, and would comply with the Santa Ana Municipal Code, Section 8-210 and Section 41- 611.1 that provides specifications for shielding lighting away from adjacent uses and relate to intensity of security lighting. (Initial Study, p. 15.) Moreover, the Project would be required to comply with the City's lighting regulations and such compliance would be verified during the permitting process. The lighting increase in light that would be generated by the Project would not adversely affect day or nighttime views in the area and would be less than significant. (Initial Study, pp. 15-16.) This conclusion also applies, for the same reasons, to the Modified Project. 9.2 Agriculture and Forest Resources 9.2.1 Farmland Conversion Threshold: Would the Project result in the conversion of Prime Farmland, Unique Farmland, or Farmland of Statewide Importance, as shown on the maps prepared pursuant to the Farmland Mapping and Monitoring Program of the California Resources Agency, to non-agricultural land use? Finding: No impact. (DEIR, p. 2-5; Initial Study, p. 18.) Facts in Support of Finding: The Project site is developed for urban uses and located in an area that is completely developed for urban uses. The Project site and vicinity are void of agricultural uses and the Project would not convert Prime Farmland, Unique Farmland, or Farmland of Statewide Importance (Farmland), as shown on the maps prepared pursuant to the Farmland Mapping and Monitoring Program (FMMP) of the California Resources Agency, to non-agricultural use because no important farmland exists within the Project site and the site is designated as Urban and Built -Up land. (Initial Study, p. 18.) This conclusion also applies, for the same reasons, to the Modified Project. 9.2.2 Agricultural Zoning Resolution No. Page 23 of 76 Certification of the Magnolia at the Park EIR
