Draft Findings of Fact and Mitigation Monitoring Reporting Program (applies to CEQA only) . 3M (I 7132 Pullman, Irvine): 3M has approximately 75 parking spaces. Approximately 5 parking spaces would be taken under the Preferred Alternative, which corresponds to a loss of 7 percent of existing parking. No replacement parking would be necessary or provided for this loss. . BNC Mortgage (1063 McGaw, Irvine): BNC Mortgage has approximately 130 parking spaces. Approximately 8 parking spaces would be taken under the Preferred Alternative, which corresponds to a loss of 6 percent of existing parking. No replacement parking would be necessary or provided for this loss. Mitigation: Three parcels would lose less than 10 percent of their existing on-site parking. Only two parcels would lose 10 percent or more of their existing on-site parking. However, no mitigation is required for these two parcels because the remaining parking spaces are sufficient to meet the code requirements for on-site parking. If necessary, the City shall implement the following on-site parking mitigation measure: PAR-I When necessary, other affected businesses that would lose either landscaping or less than 10 percent of their on-site parking will require a variance by the City of Irvine. With Mitigation the Effeets are Found to be: ( ) Significant (x) Not Significant Finding: I. (x) Changes or alterations have been required in, or incorporated into, the project, which avoid the significant environmental effect. (Subd. [a][I].) 2. () Such changes or alterations are within the responsibility and jurisdiction of another public agency and not the agency making the finding. Such changes have been adopted by such other agency or can and should be adopted by such other agency. (Subd. [a)[2].) 3. ( ) Specific economic, legal, social, technological, or other considerations, including provision of employment opportunities for highly trained workers, make infeasible the mitigation measures or project alternatives identified in the Final EIR/EA (Subd. [a)[3].) Rationale: Implementation of these mitigation measures will reduce parking impacts, if any, to levels less than significant by ensuring that the City of Irvine issues a parking variance to affected businesses other than the ones evaluated in the FEIR/EA that would lose either landscaping or less than 10 percent of their on-site parking. No further mitigation is required.
