Sunshine Meeting A Sunshine Ordinance Community Meeting was held on Saturday May 12, 2018 from 10:00 a.m. to 11:00 a.m. at the Salgado Center (706 N. Newhope Street) in accordance with the provisions of the City's Sunshine Ordinance. One member of the public attended. The applicant provided all the required information to the City after the meeting (Exhibit 11). The Riverview West Neighborhood Association was contacted to identify any areas of Additional Measures concern due to the proposed project. At the time this report was printed, no issues of concern were raised regarding the proposed project. As part of the City's permitting process, the proposed project is required to undergo an environmental review in accordance with the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA). In accordance with CEQA, the recommended actions have been reviewed through an Initial Study/Mitigated Negative Declaration (ER No. 2018-28). 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 and findings 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 has been prepared (Exhibit 12). The scope of the MND evaluates the proposed project's 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 listed on the City's distribution list on January 6, 2020. A notice of intent to adopt was also published in the Orange County Reporter on January 6, 2020. The City circulated the draft MND for a 20-day public review between January 6, 2020 and January 26, 2020. 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. Since the 20-day review period for the draft MND is scheduled concurrently to the staff report being completed, any comments received during the review period will be considered during the report for request for council action report. 75A-30
