Community Plan Exemption Checklist City of Santa Ana Gary Avenue Business Park Project would be able to accommodate development pursuant to the GPU and comply with related solid waste regulations. Development pursuant to the GPU would require or result in the relocation or construction of new or expanded electric power and natural gas. However, the EIR determined that the net increase in natural gas demands due to the GPU buildout are within the amounts that SoCalGas forecasts that it would supply to its customers, and buildout would not require SoCalGas to obtain increased natural gas supplies over its currently forecast supplies. Impacts Associated with the Proposed Project a) Require or result in the construction of new or expanded water, wastewater treatment or storm water drainage, electric power, natural gas, or telecommunications facilities, the construction or relocation of which could cause significant environmental effects? No New Impact. The Project proposes to demolish the existing three office buildings that total 103,031 square feet, landscaping, and pavement, and construct a new 91,500 square foot light industrial warehouse building with landscaping that would accommodate two tenants. Water The Project site is currently served by the City's water utility. The proposed Project would install new water lines that would connect to the existing 8-inch water line within Garry Avenue. The Project would not require construction of new or expanded offsite water lines. The removal of the existing three office buildings and development of one light industrial warehousing building would not result in an increase in water demand, and no additional water lines are required. Wastewater The proposed Project would install new onsite sewer lines that would connect to the existing 8-inch sewer line within Garry Avenue. The Project would not require construction of new or expanded offsite sewer lines. The removal of the existing three office buildings and development of one light industrial warehousing building would not result in an increase in wastewater generation, and no expansions to the wastewater treatment system would be required. Stormwater The Project would install a new onsite drainage system that would connect to the existing 18-inch drain in Daimler Street. The onsite drainage would convey runoff to biofiltration basins that would treat flows prior to discharge, and reduce flows as required by the Orange County DAMP, which would be ensured through the Project permitting process. Therefore, operation of the proposed Project would not increase stormwater runoff, and the Project would not require or result in the construction of new off -site storm water drainage facilities or expansion of existing off -site facilities. Electric Power The Project would connect to the existing Southern California Edison electrical distribution facilities that are adjacent to the Project site and would not require the construction of new electrical facilities. Natural Gas The Project would connect to the existing Southern California Gas natural gas distribution facilities that are adjacent to the Project site and would not require the construction of new gas facilities. Therefore, the Project would result in no new impacts related to construction of new or expanded utilities that could result in significant environmental effects. 98
