ONE BROADWAY PLAZA PROJECT EIR ADDENDUM <br />CITY OF SANTA ANA <br />5. Environmental Analysis <br />known and could not have been known at the time of the adoption of the Approved Project that would require <br />the preparation of a subsequent EIR. <br />c) Be located on a geologic unit or soil that is unstable, or that would become unstable as a result of <br />the project, and potentially result in on- or off -site landslide, lateral spreading, subsidence, <br />liquefaction, or collapse. <br />Less Than Significant Impact/No Changes or New Information Requiring Preparation of an EIR. <br />As under the Approved Project, the Proposed Project is not located on sensitive or unstable soil. As with the <br />Approved Project, the Proposed Project would comply with Mitigation Measure G-1 and a less than significant <br />impact would occur. There are no substantial changes in the circumstances, or new information that was not <br />known and could not have been known at the time of the adoption of the Approved Project that would require <br />the preparation of a subsequent EIR. <br />d) Be located on expansive soil, as defined in Table 18-1-B of the Uniform Building Code (2013), <br />creating direct or indirect substantial risks to life or property? <br />Less Than Significant Impact/No Changes or New Information Requiring Preparation of an EIR. <br />The Certified EIR determined that the soils on site have low expansivity potential. The Proposed Project does <br />not include any additional building square footage and therefore would not require additional grading or <br />earthwork. Pursuant to Mitigation Measure G-2, prior to acquiring a grading permit for construction, the <br />developer would be required to prepare a Final Geology and Soils report to specially assess shrink -swell <br />potential of potentially expansive soils on site and incorporate the recommendations outlined in the report. <br />The Proposed Project would comply with identified mitigation measures. There are no substantial changes in <br />the circumstances or new information that was not known and could not have been known at the time of the <br />adoption of the Approved Project that would require the preparation of a subsequent EIR. <br />e) Have soils incapable of adequately supporting the use of septic tanks or alternative waste water <br />disposal systems where sewers are not available for the disposal of waste water? <br />No Impact. As under the Approved Project, implementation of the Proposed Project would not involve the <br />construction or use of septic tanks or other alternative wastewater disposal system. No impact would occur, <br />and no changes or new information would require preparation of a subsequent EIR. <br />f) Directly or indirectly destroy a unique paleontological resource or site or unique geologic feature? <br />No Impact. The Proposed Project would not increase building area nor require additional earthwork activities. <br />The Proposed Project would occur within the Approved Project's building envelope. Therefore, the Proposed <br />Project would not directly or indirectly destroy paleontological resources or site or unique geologic feature. <br />There are no substantial changes in the circumstances, or new information that was not known and could not <br />have been known at the time of the adoption of the Approved Project that would require the preparation of <br />a subsequent EIR. <br />Page 48 PlaceWorks <br />
