Related Bristol Specific Plan Ordinances Second Readings (3600 S Bristol Street) October 15, 2024 Page 7 consumer products. The emissions from the proposed project are primarily from vehicle trips and use of consumer products that emit nitrous oxide or reactive organic gasses. The majority of the Project's emission exceedances are from consumer product and mobile sources and cannot feasibly be reduced by either the City or Project Applicant below the SCAQMD thresholds. Emissions from both consumer products and motor vehicles are controlled by State and federal standards and the City and applicant have no control over these standards. Due to the Project exceedance of the thresholds, impacts would be cumulatively considerable and significant and unavoidable. Parks and Recreation. As detailed in Section 5.12 of the SEIR (Parks and Recreation), the City currently has approximately 1.2 acres of public park and/or recreational space per every 1,000 residents, which is below the City's parkland aspirational standard of three (3) acres of parkland per 1,000 residents. Based on the City's parkland aspirational standard of three (3) acres of public park and/or recreational space per 1,000 residents, buildout of the project in the SP results in a need for approximately 27.7 additional acres of parkland to serve the estimated 9,238 new residents of the project site. The 13.1 acres of publicly accessible open space within a required 17.21 acres of common or private open space for residents provided by the project would be approximately 10.49 acres less than the City's parkland aspirational standard, which would exacerbate the existing citywide parkland deficiency. Although the proposed Project and cumulative projects would be required to provide park and recreational facilities, private open space, and/or pay in -lieu fees as required by the Santa Ana Municipal Code, the impacts related to the amount of parkland within the City would be cumulatively considerable and cumulative impacts related to parks and recreational facilities would be significant. The SEIR also evaluated the following alternatives to the proposed Project that would feasibly avoid or lessen the proposed Project's significant environmental impacts while attaining most of the proposed Project's objectives: Alternative 1 (No project/No build), Alternative 2 (Reduced project alternative that reduces the commercial component to 250,000 square feet and eliminates the 250 hotel room keys), and Alternative 3 (Building of the existing zoning designations of C2 and CR, producing a maximum total of 1,032,774 square feet of commercial uses, 1,375 multi -family units, 250 hotel room keys, and 200 senior continuum of care living units). A detailed analysis of environmental impacts and feasibility of each alternative is included in the Final SEIR. A Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Program (MMRP) has been prepared and is attached to the resolution certifying the Final Supplemental Environmental Impact Report No. 2022-01. A Statement of Overriding Considerations will be necessary should the City Council decide to approve the Project because of the significant and unavoidable impacts to air quality and parks and recreation.
