Vista Charter Public Schools District Office and Outdoor Space Project CEQA Exemption 15183 and that the City is too far inland to be at risk of a tsunamis. As such, implementation of the proposed project would result in less than significant impacts in this regard. 4.10.3 Conclusion Overall, the project is consistent with the General Plan Update. With implementation of RRs HYD- 4 and HYD-5 identified in the GPU EIR, 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 hydrology and water quality than anticipated by the GPU EIR. Applicable GPU EIR Regulatory Requirements/Mitigation Measures: RR HYD-4 All development pursuant to the General Plan Update shall comply with the requirements of the Orange County MS4 Permit (Order R8-2009-0030, NPDES No. CAS618030, as amended by Order No. R8-2010 0062). The MS4 Permit requires new development and redevelopment projects to: • Control contaminants into storm drain systems • Educate the public about stormwater impacts • Detect and eliminate illicit discharges • Control runoff from construction sites • Implement best management practices and site -specific runoff controls and treatments for new development and redevelopment. RR HYD-5 All development pursuant to the General Plan Update shall comply with the requirements detailed in Chapter 18 Article IV of the Santa Ana Municipal Code. 4.11 Land Use and Planning 4.11.1 GPU EIR Findings The GPU EIR concluded that the General Plan Update's policies would encourage the preservation or enhancement of the existing residential communities through infill development, open space opportunities, and development of compatible uses that would enhance the existing character of the City. A primary goal of the General Plan Update is to preserve and improve the character and integrity of existing neighborhoods and districts; specific policies would reduce the conflict between contrasting land uses and enhance neighborhoods by responsibly integrating new development into existing communities. None of the changes in the General Plan Update would affect plans, policies, or regulations of other agencies that have jurisdiction within the City, including the Airport Environs Land Use Plan for the John Wayne Airport, the Orange County Transportation Authority (OCTA) Congestion Management Plan, and the Southern California Association of Governments (SCAG) 2020-2045 Regional Transportation Plan/Sustainable Communities Strategy (RTP/SCS). As individual projects are considered by the City, each would be subject to a variety of federal, State, and locally adopted plans designed to mitigate environmental impacts or to preserve important resources. As such, impacts associated with the General Plan Update with regards to land use and planning would be less than significant. Dec i y ouncil 26 — 98 1/16/20'2 e 38
