Community Plan Exemption Checklist City of Santa Ana Gary Avenue Business Park Project b) Have sufficient water supplies available to serve the project and reasonably foreseeable future development during normal, dry, and multiple dry years? No New Impact. Section 5.18, Utilities and Service Systems, of the GPU EIR describes that operation of the 55 Freeway/Dyer Road Focus Area at buildout (including development of the Project site at a FAR of 3.0) is anticipated to generate a 1,660,558 gallon per day increase in water demand that would be within the planned supplies from the City, the Orange County Water District, and Metropolitan during normal -dry and multiple -dry year scenario. The Project would result in a FAR of 0.42, which would result in a smaller building that would generate less water demand than the GPU EIR anticipated with a building density of 3.0 FAR on the site. Therefore, the proposed Project would be accommodated by the existing water supplies, and no new impacts related to water supplies would occur. c) Result in a determination by the wastewater treatment provider which serves or may serve the project that it has adequate capacity to serve the project's projected demand in addition to the provider's existing commitments? No New Impact. Section 5.18, Utilities and Service Systems, of the GPU EIR describes that operation of the 55 Freeway/Dyer Road Focus Area at buildout (including development of the Project site at a FAR of 3.0) is anticipated to generate 538,450 gallons per day of wastewater. The GPU EIR also details that that the increase would be accommodated by OCSD's Treatment Plant No. 1. The proposed Project would result in a FAR of 0.42, which would result in a smaller building that would generate less wastewater generation than the GPU EIR anticipated with a building density of 3.0 FAR on the site. Therefore, the proposed Project would be accommodated by the existing wastewater infrastructure, and no new impacts related to wastewater facilities would occur. d) Generate solid waste in excess of State or local standards, or in excess of the capacity of local infrastructure, or otherwise impair the attainment of solid waste reduction goals? No New Impact. Section 5.18, Utilities and Service Systems, of the GPU EIR describes that operation of the 55 Freeway/Dyer Road Focus Area at buildout (including development of the Project site at a FAR of 3.0) is anticipated to generate 275,728 pounds per day of solid waste. The GPU EIR also details that the Orange County solid waste landfill system would have the ability to provide for the GPU with long-term solid waste landfill capacity. The Project would result in a FAR of 0.42, which would result in a smaller building that would generate less solid waste than the GPU EIR anticipated with a building density of 3.0 FAR on the site. Therefore, the proposed Project would be accommodated by the existing landfills and no new impacts related to landfill facilities would occur. In addition, the Project would comply with Section 5.408.1 of the California Green Building Standards Code that requires demolition and construction activities to recycle or reuse a minimum of 65 percent of the nonhazardous construction and demolition waste. Also, pursuant to AB 341, at least 75 percent of the solid waste that is generated during Project operation is required to be recycled, which would reduce the volume of landfilled solid waste. Therefore, the Project would result in no new impacts. e) Comply with federal, state, and local statutes and regulations related to solid waste? No New Impact. As discussed above, the Project would be anticipated to result in 63.45 tons per year. All solid waste -generating activities within the City are subject to the requirements set forth in the California Green Building Standards Code that requires demolition and construction activities to recycle or reuse a minimum of 65 percent of the nonhazardous construction and demolition waste, and AB 341 that requires diversion of a minimum of 75 percent of operational solid waste. 99
