ONE BROADWAY PLAZA PROJECT EIR ADDENDUM <br />CITY OF SANTA ANA <br />5. Environmental Analysis <br />5.11 LAND USE AND PLANNING <br />5.11.1 Summary of Previous Environmental Analysis <br />The Certified EIR concluded that the Approved Project would be compatible with existing land uses in the <br />project area. The Certified EIR discussed the Approved Project's consistency with the City of Santa Ana <br />General Plan (1982), Midtown Specific Plan (1996), Santa Ana Redevelopment Plan, and the Southern <br />California Association of Governments' (SCAG) Regional Comprehensive Plan and Regional Transportation <br />Plan. The Certified EIR found that the Approved Project is consistent with the Santa Ana Redevelopment <br />Plan and SCAG's Regional Comprehensive Plan and Regional Transportation Plan. With approval of <br />requested entitlements, the Approved Project would not be in conflict with the General Plan and the Midtown <br />Specific Plan. The Approved Project is located within an already developed area and would not physically <br />divide an established community and would not conflict with any applicable habitat conservation plans or <br />natural community conservation plan (both topics were scoped out in the Initial Study for the Approved <br />Project). The Certified EIR determined that the Approved Project would result in a less than significant <br />impact and no mitigation measures are required. <br />5.11.2 Impacts Associated with the Proposed Project <br />Would the Proposed Project: <br />Less Than <br />Significant <br />Substantial <br />Impact/No <br />Substantial <br />Change in <br />New <br />Changes or <br />Change in <br />Circum- <br />Information <br />New <br />Project <br />stances <br />Showing New <br />Information <br />Requiring <br />Requiring <br />or Increased <br />Requiring <br />Major EIR <br />Major EIR <br />Significant <br />Preparation of <br />Environmental Issues <br />Revisions <br />Revisions <br />Effects <br />an EIR <br />No Impact <br />a) Physically divide an established <br />X <br />community? <br />b) Cause a significant environmental impact <br />due to a conflict with any land use plan, <br />policy, or regulation adopted for the purpose <br />X <br />of avoiding or mitigating an environmental <br />effect? <br />Comments: <br />a) Physically divide an established community? <br />Less Than Significant Impact/No Changes or New Information Requiring Preparation of an EIR. <br />The Proposed Project would amend the existing entitlements to allow for up to 415 residential units within an <br />approved 37-story office tower. The Proposed Project's residential units would occur within the envelope of <br />the Approved Project; the Proposed Project would not result in an expansion of the building footprint or in <br />new development beyond what was analyzed in the Certified EIR.
