<br />Additionally, the project site is currently improved. The <br />probability for the discovery of unknown cultural resources <br />would be low. Therefore, implementation of the proposed project <br />would not result in impacts to unknown cultural resources that <br />could be present on the project site. <br /> <br />VI. GEOLOGY/SOILS <br /> <br />A-I. Rupture of a known earthquake fault, as delineated on the <br />most recent Alquist-Priolo Earthquake Fault Zoning Map <br />issued by the State geologist for the area or based on <br />other substantial evidence of a known fault? <br /> <br />No Impact <br /> <br />According to the City's General Plan Land Use Element EIR, the <br />project site is not located within a current Alquist-Priolo <br />Earthquake Fault Zone. Therefore, the potential for surface <br />rupture due to faulting occurring beneath the site during the <br />design life of the proposed project is considered low. <br /> <br />A-2. Strong seismic Ground shaking? <br /> <br />Less Than Significant Impact <br /> <br />The project site is situated within a highly active seismic <br />region of southern California. A total of 38 active faults have <br />been identified within an approximate 60-mile radius of the <br />project site. The Newport/Inglewood Fault located approximately <br />13 miles south from the City of Santa Ana is considered to be <br />one of the most dominant faults in regard to potential seismic <br />shaking impacts. The project site could potentially be subject <br />to a maximum credible horizontal ground acceleration of 0.30g <br />from a magnitude 6.9 earthquake along the Newport/Inglewood <br />fault zone. A seismic event of this scale could potentially <br />result in significant damage to the proposed project. However, <br />the risks at the project site are similar to many other areas in <br />Southern California region. To minimize potential seismic <br />shaking impacts, the proposed project would be subject Seismic <br />Shaking Standards of the Uniform Building Code. Compliance with <br />the Uniform Building Code would reduce potential impacts <br />associated with seismic activity to a level that would be less <br />than significant. <br /> <br />A-3.
