• MM TCR-2: Upon discovery of any Tribal Cultural Resource Objects, all construction activities in the immediate vicinity shall cease. • MM TCR-3: Upon discovery of any human remains and associated funerary or ceremonial objects, actions pursuant to Public Resource Code 5097.98 and Health and Safety Code 7050.5 shall occur. The IS/MND's analysis determined that the above -mentioned environmental categories would cause no substantial adverse change to the environment with the inclusion of the enforceable mitigation measures, that would be adopted by the City. Historic or Cultural Significance Two built environment resources over 45 years old were identified within the project site: 2101 and 2109 Santa Clara Avenue. The properties were recorded and evaluated for historical significance on the appropriate set of State of California Department of Parks and Recreation (DPR) Forms in consideration of California Register of Historic Resources (CRHR) and local City designation criteria and integrity requirements. Both properties were found not eligible under all state and local designation criteria due to a lack of significant historical associations and architectural merit. No historical resources were identified within the project site as a result of this study. Therefore, with respect to built environment resources, the proposed project will have a less than significant impact on historical resources under CEQA. Traffic Impacts The project specific Transportation Analysis conducted a traffic signal warrant analysis to determine the potential need for installation of a traffic signal at an otherwise unsignalized intersection, including at the intersection of the Driveway 1 (located along Santa Clara Avenue) and Santa Clara Avenue, and the intersection between Tustin Avenue and Driveway 2 (located along Tustin Avenue). As concluded by the Transportation Analysis, the addition of project traffic would not trigger the City of Santa Ana's significance criteria, and no traffic signal is warranted for either intersection. In addition, the Transportation Analysis performed a drive -through analysis to determine if the proposed circulation plan provided adequate on -site drive - through storage capacity to accommodate the peak on -site vehicle demand. Ultimately, the drive -through analysis suggested that the project would provide stacking accommodations for approximately 16 vehicles within the drive -through, and there would be sufficient capacity to accommodate average and peak vehicle demands for the proposed project. The IS/MND's Notice of Intent (NOI) was posted to the County Clerk on January 12, 2024, for the required 20-day public comment period, which ended on February 1, 2024. The NOI was also mailed out to all properties within a 1,000-foot radius of the project site. The IS/MND was made available for public view at the City Hall Planning counter, Santa Ana Library in the Civic Center and on the City website. As of this printing, no comments or communications from the public have been received on the IS/MND. Based on this analysis, a Notice of Exemption, Environmental Review No. 2023-16 will be filed for this Ordinance No. NS-XXXX Page 5 of 8
