CITY OF SANTA ANA SHORT-TERM RENTAL PROHIBITION ORDINANCE CITY OF SANTA ANA 4. Evaluation of Environmental Impacts Page 21 Ana for review and approval. Facilities that have the potential to generate nuisance odors include, but are not limited to:  Wastewater treatment plants  Composting, green waste, or recycling facilities  Fiberglass manufacturing facilities  Painting/coating operations  Large-capacity coffee roasters  Food-processing facilities The odor management plan shall demonstrate compliance with the South Coast Air Quality Management District’s Rule 402 for nuisance odors. The Odor Management Plan shall identify the best available control technologies for toxics (T-BACTs) that will be utilized to reduce potential odors to acceptable levels, including appropriate enforcement mechanisms. T-BACTs may include but are not limited to scrubbers (i.e., air pollution control devices) at the industrial facility. T-BACTs identified in the odor management plan shall be identified as mitigation measures in the environmental document prepared for the development project and/or incorporated into the project’s site plan. Analysis of the Modified Project The Modified Project would expressly prohibit STRs and only affect existing structures. The Modified Project would not require development, redevelopment, or changes to existing development types in the City. The existing conditions related to air quality have not changed since the certification of the GP EIR. Operational activities associated with long-term rentals and permanent residences would be consistent with the operational activities analyzed in the GP EIR for residential uses. Increases in impacts to air quality, are based on construction of new structures generating new vehicle trips or population growth. The Modified Project would only affect existing structures, would not induce population growth, and therefore there would be no change in air quality impacts beyond those identified the GP EIR, which analyzed impacts from buildout of the GP. The Modified Project would not result in any physical impacts on the environment or impacts associated with air quality. No impacts would occur. The Modified Project would not result in any new or more severe significant impacts than those identified in the GP EIR. GP EIR RR AQ-1 through RR AQ-3 are not applicable to the Modified Project because the Modified Project does not require construction. The Modified Project would not obstruct the City’s ability to implement applicable GP policies. GP EIR MMs AQ-1, AQ-2, and AQ-4 are not applicable to the Modified Project because the Modified Project is not a development project. MM AQ-3 is not applicable to the Modified Project because the Modified Project does not propose new industrial or warehousing development. Exhibit 3 - Environmental Analysis
