Mc Donald's at Santa Clara Avenue Agricultural and Forest Resources. The site has been disturbed and developed. The Project site and the general area is within urban built-up land, and the Project site is not being used, nor anticipated to be used for agricultural purposes. Based on the RFP, the currently Zoning designation of the site is General Agricultural (At), but the Project requires a Zone Change from Al to Arterial Commercial (C5). No forest land occurs on the Project site or in the surrounding area. The IS/MND will contain a statement identifying the site's lack of agricultural and forestry resources. Air Quality. The findings of the Air Quality Analysis, under Subtask 2.1, will be incorporated in the Air Quality section of the IS/MND, and the data will be included as an appendix. Biological Resources. The proposed Project site is within a highly developed area of the City of Santa Ana. Based on a preliminary review of the Project site and surrounding environment by a Psomas biologist, on -site and surrounding resources are limited to ornamental trees. These resources will be characterized as part of the IS and mitigation measures will be identified, if needed, to avoid significant impacts related to nesting birds and raptors during Project construction. • Cultural Resources and Tribal Cultural Resources. Psomas will submit a request to the California Historical Resources Information System (CHRIS) at the South -Central Coastal Information Center (SCCIC) to conduct a records search for the Project site, including a'/2-mile search radius surrounding the Project site. The SCCIC currently estimates 2 to 3 months from the date of request to receive the results of the records search. Additionally, Psomas will request the Native American Heritage Commission (NAHC) conduct a search of the Sacred Lands File (SLF) database for the Project site. The NAHC currently estimates 6 to 8 weeks from the data of request to receive the results of the records search. This SOW does not include a cultural resources pedestrian survey of the Project site. Additionally, Psomas will provide tribal consultation support as needed to the Lead Agency to fulfill the agency -to -agency consultation requirements Assembly Bill 52 (AB 52). AB 52 requires a Lead Agency to provide formal notification to tribal representatives that are traditionally and culturally affiliated to the geographic area where a project is located. This task assumes the preparation of up to eight letters on Lead Agency letterhead; one round of review by the Lead Agency; and up to four hours of telephone consultation in concert with the Lead Agency, as needed, to consult with the tribes. The tribal representatives have 30 days to request consultation upon receiving the AB 52 notification letter. Psomas can provide further support related to tribal consultation, such as additional meetings, minutes, oradditional site visits, subject to a scope and budget augment. The results oftheabove records searches, and tribal consultations will be compiled and described in the Cultural Resources and Tribal Cultural Resources sections of the IS/MND, as appropriate. If significant impacts are identified, Psomas will recommend mitigation measures to address the impacts. Further, the findings of the Historic Built Environment Assessment Report, under Subtask 2.1, will be incorporated in the Cultural Resources section of the IS/MND, and the report will be included as an appendix. • Energy. The findings of the Energy Analysis, under Subtask 2.1, will be incorporated in the Energy section of the IS/MND, and the data will be included as an appendix. • Geology and Soils. We understand that a Geotechnical Report has been prepared by the Applicant's consultant and will be provided to Psomas for incorporation into the IS/MND. Upon peer review of the report, the findings will be incorporated in the Geology and Soils section of the IS/MND, and report will be included as appendix in the IS/MND. Additionally, Psomas will request a paleontological resources records search and literature review for the Project site from the Vertebrate Paleontology Section of the Los Angeles County Museum RVr, osain lly afsamae Wa Danala ism No-oeoi21mcx A-6 Cost Estimate
