In accordance with CEQA, the recommended actions have been reviewed through an Initial Study/Mitigated Negative Declaration (ER No. 2009-19). Sections 15070 through 15075 of the State CEQA Guidelines (Article 6) guide the process for the preparation of a negative declaration (ND) or mitigated negative declaration (MND). The MND prepared for the project, as required by CEQA, contains a project description, project location map, proposed finding that the project with mitigation will not have a significant effect on the environment, a copy of the initial study, and mitigation measures to avoid potentially significant effects (Exhibit 8). The mitigation measures included in the MND are designed to reduce or eliminate the potentially significant environmental impacts. The scope of the MND evaluates the proposed projects effects on the following resource topics: aesthetics, agricultural resources, air quality, biological resources, cultural resources, geology and soils, greenhouse gas emissions, hazards and hazardous materials, hydrology and water quality, land use, mineral resources, noise, population and housing, public services, recreation, transportation and traffic, and utilities and service systems. The City hired a consultant to prepare a draft MND and circulated it to all interested or required parties on the City s standard distribution list on June 7, 2018. A notice of intent to adopt was also published in the Orange County Reporter on June 7, 2018. The City circulated the draft MND for a 20-day public review between June 8, 2018 and June 27, 2018. The draft MND was available for public review at the Santa Ana City Hall, the City of Santa Ana Main Library, and on the City's webpage created for the project. This MND is intended to provide a means to receive and respond to comments pertaining to the analysis contained in the draft MND and to provide an opportunity for clarification, corrections, or minor revisions to the environmental document as needed. Comments were received during the public review period. Although not required for an MND pursuant to the State CEQA Guidelines, the City, as the lead agency for the project, has responded to all comments received on the document after a thorough review of each comment's contents. As a result of the environmental analysis, no areas of significant impacts were found from the construction of the proposed project. Mitigation measures have been provided to address potential environmental impacts, with a list of these mitigation measures found within the attached Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Program. Mitigation measures have been outlined to address potential impacts on air quality, biological resources, cultural and tribal cultural resources, geology and soils, 75B-29
