Santa Ana General Plan Update <br />CEQA Findings of Fact and Statement <br />Of Overriding Considerations -43- October 2021 <br />Mitigation Measures <br />AQ-3 Prior to discretionary approval by the City of Santa Ana, project applicants for new <br />industrial or warehousing development projects that 1) have the potential to generate <br />100 or more diesel truck trips per day or have 40 or more trucks with operating diesel- <br />powered transport refrigeration units, and 2) are within 1,000 feet of a sensitive land <br />use (e.g., residential, schools, hospitals, or nursing homes), as measured from the <br />property line of the project to the property line of the nearest sensitive use, shall submit <br />a health risk assessment (HRA) to the City of Santa Ana for review and approval. The <br />HRA shall be prepared in accordance with policies and procedures of the State Office <br />of Environmental Health Hazard Assessment and the South Coast Air Quality <br />Management District and shall include all applicable stationary and mobile/area source <br />emissions generated by the proposed project at the project site. If the HRA shows that <br />the incremental cancer risk and/or noncancer hazard index exceed the respective <br />thresholds, as established by the South Coast AQMD at the time a project is <br />considered (i.e., 10 in one million cancer risk and 1 hazard index), the project applicant <br />will be required to identify and demonstrate that best available control technologies for <br />toxics (T-BACTs), including appropriate enforcement mechanisms, are capable of <br />reducing potential cancer and noncancer risks to an acceptable level. T-BACTs may <br />include, but are not limited to, restricting idling on-site, electrifying warehousing docks <br />to reduce diesel particulate matter, or requiring use of newer equipment and/or <br />vehicles. T BACTs identified in the HRA shall be identified as mitigation measures in <br />the environmental document and/or incorporated into the site plan. <br />Finding <br />Finding 3. Changes or alterations have been required in, or incorporated into, the GPU that avoid <br />or substantially lessen the significant environmental effect as identified in the PEIR. These <br />changes are identified in the form of the mitigation measure above. The City of Santa Ana hereby <br />finds that implementation of the mitigation measure is feasible, and the measure is therefore <br />adopted. <br />The City finds that there are no other mitigation measures that are feasible, taking into <br />consideration specific economic, legal, social, technological or other factors, that would mitigate <br />this impact to a less-than-significant level, and further, that specific economic, legal, social, <br />technological, or other considerations, including considerations for the provision of employment <br />opportunities for highly trained workers, make infeasible the alternatives identified in the PEIR, as <br />discussed in Section G of these Findings (Public Resources Code §§ 21081(a)(1), (3); Guidelines <br />§§ 15091(a)(1), (3)). As described in the Statement of Overriding Considerations, the City has <br />determined that this impact is acceptable because specific overriding economic, legal, social, <br />technological, or other benefits, including regionwide or statewide environmental benefits, of the <br />GPU outweigh its significant effects on the environment.
