The Bowery Mixed-Use Project CEQA Findings of Fact City of Santa Ana 19 May 2020 Control, and Treatment Control Best Management Practices (BMPs) that will be incorporated into the development project in order to minimize the adverse effects on receiving waters. Impact Finding: The Project would not emit hazardous emissions or handle hazardous or acutely hazardous materials, substances or waste within 0.25 mile of an existing or proposed school (Draft EIR at p. 5.7-25). Facts in Support of Findings: The Project site is located 0.7 mile from the closest school, which is Heritage Elementary School, located at 15400 Landsdowne Road, Tustin. Thus, the proposed Project would not be within one-quarter mile of an existing school. Impact Finding: The Project would not be located on a site that is included on a list of hazardous materials sites compiled pursuant to Government Code Section 65962.5 and, as a result, create a significant hazard to the public or the environment (Draft EIR at p. 5.7-26). Facts in Support of Findings: The Phase I Environmental Site Assessments that was conducted database searches to determine if the Project area or any nearby properties are identified as currently having hazardous materials. The record searches determined that although the site has a history of various uses, and identified as previously generating hazardous wastes and clean-up activities, the Project site is not located on or near by a site which is included on a list of hazardous materials sites pursuant to Government Code Section 65962.5. Additionally, the Phase I ESA did not identify any nearby or surrounding area sites that are included on a list of hazardous materials sites compiled pursuant to Government Code Section 65962.5, and as a result, impacts related to hazards from being located on or adjacent to a hazardous materials site would not occur from implementation of the proposed Project. Impact Finding: The Project would not result in a safety hazard or excessive noise for people residing or working in the project area for a project located within an airport land use plan or, where such plan has not been adopted, be within 2 miles of a public airport use airport or public use airport (Draft EIR at p. 5.7-26). Facts in Support of Findings: John Wayne Airport (JWA) is located approximately 2.2 miles southwest of the Project site under the primary aircraft approach corridor. The Project site is not located within JWA’s Airport Safety Zone, as shown in Draft EIR Figure 5.7-1) and is located outside of the airport’s 55 CNEL contours (Draft EIR Figures 5.7-2 and 5.7-3). Table 1 of the Airport Environs Land Use Plan (AELUP) for John Wayne Airport shows that residential land uses outside of the 60 CNEL contour are “normally consistent”. Thus, development of residential units on the Project site would not result in excessive noise for people residing or working in the project area. Also, because the Project would not exceed the JWA FAR Part 77 Notification Area for JWA (100:1 imaginary surface slope extending outward for 20,000 feet) (Final EIR Figure 1), the Project site is not located within the AELUP Notification area for JWA, not within the JWA planning area boundary, FAA and ALUC notification of the proposed Project would not be required. The tallest point on the proposed structures would be approximately 94-feet from ground level. At 2.2 miles from JWA and at a maximum height of 94-feet, the Project would not create any imaginary surfaces with any of the specific slope characteristics within the imaginary surface area for the airport (shown on Figure 1 of the Final EIR). 3-41
