Vista Charter Public Schools District Office and Outdoor Space Project CEQA Exemption 15183 development standards that are applicable within these subareas in addition to those in the underlying zoning district. 4.12 Mineral Resources 4.12.1 GPU EIR Findings According to the GPU EIR, the City does not have mineral resource sectors or active or inactive mines. Thus, implementation of the General Plan Update would not cause a loss of availability of known mineral resources. The City is mostly mapped as Mineral Resource Zone (MRZ) 3, which is an area where the significance of mineral deposits cannot be determined from available data. The area in the southeast portion of the City is mapped as MRZ-1, which means an area where no significant mineral resources are present or there is little likelihood that significant mineral resources are present. A small area in the northeast corner of the City is mapped as MRZ-2, which means significant mineral resources are known or very likely. However, the GPU EIR determined that no loss of availability of a known mineral resource would occur, and impacts would be less than significant. 4.12.2 Project Analysis According to Figure 5.11-1, Mineral Resource Zones, of the GPU EIR, which was adapted from the California Division of Mines and Geology map of mineral resource zones around the City, the project site, like most of Santa Ana, is mapped as MRZ-3. Therefore, implementation of the proposed project would not result in the loss of availability of a known mineral resource that would be of value to the region and the residents of the State and would not result in the loss of availability of a locally important mineral resource recovery site delineated on a local General Plan, specific plan, or other land use plan. Therefore, consistent with the General Plan Update, no impact to mineral resources would occur. 4.12.3 Conclusion As such, the project is consistent with buildout of the General Plan Update. The proposed project would not have any specific effects which are peculiar to the project or the site. There are no project specific impacts or potentially significant off -site or cumulative impacts the GPU EIR failed to analyze, and there are no new significant or substantially more severe impacts to mineral resources than anticipated by the GPU EIR. Applicable GPU EIR Regulatory Requirements/Mitigation Measures: No GPU EIR regulatory requirements or mitigation measures apply. 4.13 Noise 4.13.1 GPU EIR Findings The GPU EIR concluded that implementation of the General Plan Update would result in significant temporary and permanent increases of noise levels throughout the City. Future development in accordance with the General Plan Update would generate both short-term and long-term noise level increases that may impact sensitive receptors. Implementation of the General Plan Update would include regulations designed to protect new sensitive land uses from excessive noise levels. Dec i y ouncil 26 — 102 1/16/20'2 e42
