<br />Less Than Significant Impact <br /> <br />According to the City's General Plan Land Use Element EIR <br />there are no known cultural resources on the project site. <br />The project site is currently improved. The probability for <br />the discovery of unknown cultural resources during <br />construction operations would be low. <br /> <br />VI. GEOLOGY/SOILS <br /> <br />A-1. Rupture of a known earthquake fault, as delineated on <br />the most recent Alquist-Priolo Earthquake Fault Zoning <br />Map issued by the State geologist for the area or <br />based on other substantial evidence of a known fault? <br /> <br />No Impact <br /> <br />According to the Seismic Hazard Zone Map, the project site <br />is not located within a current Alquist-Priolo Earthquake <br />Fault Zone for fault surface rupture hazard. The surface <br />traces of any active or potentially active faults are not <br />known to pass directly through or extend towards the project <br />si te. Therefore, the potential for surface rupture due to <br />faulting occurring beneath the site during the design life <br />of the proposed project would be considered low. <br /> <br />A-2. Strong Seismic Ground shaking? <br /> <br />Potentially Significant Unless Mitigation Incorporated <br /> <br />The project site is situated within a highly active seismic <br />region of southern California. A total of 38 active faults <br />have been identified within an approximate 60-mile radius <br />of the City of Santa Ana. The NewportjInglewood Fault <br />located approximately 7 miles from the City would be <br />considered to be one of the most dominant faults in regard <br />to potential seismic shaking impacts. The project site <br />could potentially be subj ect to a maximum 7.0 earthquake <br />from the NewportjInglewood fault. A seismic event of this <br />scale could potentially result significant damage to the <br />proposed project. However, the seismic risks at the project <br />si te would not be considered significantly different from <br />other areas in the southern California region. Through the <br />City's development review process, the proposed project <br />would be required to prepare a site-specific geologic study <br />that addresses the seismic constraints on the project site <br />and the building load requirements of the project. <br /> <br />10 <br /> <br />758-25 <br />
