<br />IV. <br /> <br />A. <br /> <br />BIOLOGICAL RESOURCES <br /> <br />Have a substantial adverse impact, either directly or <br />through habitat modifications, on any species identified as <br />a candidate, sensitive or special status species in local <br />or regional plans, policies or regulations or by the <br />California Department of Fish and game or U. S. Fish and <br />Wildlife Services? <br /> <br />B. <br /> <br />Have a substantial adverse impact on any riparian habitat <br />or natural community identified in local or regional plans, <br />policies, and regulations or by the California Department <br />of Fish and game or u.S. Fish and Wildlife Service? <br /> <br />C. <br /> <br />Adversely impact federally protected wetlands either <br />individually or in combination with the known or probable <br />impacts of other activities through direct removal, filling <br />hydrological interruption, or other means? <br /> <br />D. <br /> <br />Conflict wi th any local policies or ordinances <br />biological resources, such as tree preservation <br />ordinance? <br /> <br />protecting <br />policy or <br /> <br />No Impact <br /> <br />The City of Santa Ana is a predominately built out and is <br />highly urbanized City. According to the California Department <br />Fish and Game Natural Diversity Data Base, there is a very <br />limited amount of biological resources in Santa Ana. <br />Biological resources are limited to portions of Santiago Creek <br />and Centennial Park. A potentially significant impact to <br />biological resources would occur when a project or activity <br />disturbs or displaces sensitive biological resources. <br /> <br />The proposed general plan amendments would establish goals, <br />objectives and policies that provide for the conservation of <br />biological resources and limits disturbances to natural water <br />bodies and drainage systems. Approval of the proposed general <br />plan element amendments would not directly result in any <br />adverse impacts to biological resources in that approval of <br />the proposed amendments would not facilitate the development <br />of any land uses in any sensitive habitats or involve any <br />activities that would disturb or displace any sensitive <br />biological resources. <br /> <br />6 <br /> <br />tSt)f':13 <br />
