5. Environmental Analysis This section provides evidence that no new significant impacts would occur as a result of either a change to the project or a change in circumstances. In accordance with Section 21166 of CEQA and 15162 of the CEQA Guidelines, and relevant case law, the baseline for this determination is the Approved Project. The section will briefly summarize the conclusions of the 2004 Certified EIR and then discuss whether or not the Proposed Project is consistent with the findings in that document. Applicable mitigation measures are referenced from the 2004 Certified EIR, are also provided in each section. As discussed previously, this document is an addendum to the 2004 Certified EIR. The Proposed Project is located in the One Broadway Plaza Specific Development Zoning District with a corresponding General Plan land use designation of One Broadway Plaza District Center. The mitigation program identified to reduce potential impacts of the Proposed Project consists of Standard Requirements (SRs) and mitigation measures (MMs). The components of the mitigation program are described below. Standard Requirements. Existing SRs are based on local, state, or federal regulations or laws that are frequently required independently of CEQA review and also serve to offset or prevent specific impacts. Typical SRs include compliance with the provisions of the California and local building codes, South Coast Air Quality Management District rules, City ordinances, and local agency impact fees, among others. Mitigation Measures. Where a potentially significant environmental effect has been identified and is not reduced to a level considered less than significant through the application of SRs, mitigation measures have been provided. All applicable measures have been carried through from the One Broadway Plaza EIR. These mitigation measures have been incorporated into the MMRP for this Addendum. Any modifications to the mitigation measures from the Certified EIR are shown as for deleted text and bold for new, inserted text. The City may substitute, at its discretion, any mitigation measure (and timing thereof) that has: (1) The same or superior result as the original mitigation measure and (2) the same or superior effect on the environment. The City of Santa Ana Planning and Building Agency, Planning Division, in conjunction with any appropriate agencies or City departments, shall determine the adequacy of any proposed "environmental equivalent timing" and, if deemed necessary, may refer said determination to the Planning Commission.
