<br />H. Place housing within a lOO-year floodplain, as mapped on a <br />federal Flood Hazard Boundary or Flood Insurance Rate Map <br />or other flood hazard delineation map? <br /> <br />No Impact <br /> <br />The City's General Plan identifies that portions of Santa Ana <br />are within the 10Q-year flood Zone. Approval of the proposed <br />amendment to the Municipal Code to establish an ordinance for <br />the regulation of Big Box retail uses would not facilitate <br />development within areas subject to 100-year flood risks. <br /> <br />J. Result in significant alteration of receiving water quality <br />during or following construction. <br /> <br />K. Could the proposed project result in increased erosion <br />downstream? <br /> <br />No Impact <br /> <br />Erosion refers to the removal of soil from exposed bedrock <br />surfaces by water or wind. The effects of erosion are <br />intensified with an increase in slope, the narrowing of runoff <br />channels and by the removal of groundcover, which leaves the <br />soil exposed. Approval of the proposed ordinance would not <br />result in erosion impacts, in that the proposed amendments would <br />not involve any construction activities that would disturb or <br />uncover soils to facilitate erosion impacts. Through the <br />conditional use permit process, future Big Box retail uses <br />implemented under the proposed ordinance would be evaluated for <br />potential soil erosion impacts and would be subject to the <br />City's erosion control requirements. <br /> <br />o. Tributary to other environmentally sensitive areas? If so, <br />can it exacerbate already existing sensitive conditions? <br /> <br />P. Have a potentially significant environmental impact or <br />surface water quality to either marine, fresh or wetland <br />waters? <br /> <br />s. Impact aquatic, wetland or riparian habitat? <br /> <br />No Impact <br /> <br />According to the City's General Plan Land Use Element EIR, there <br />are no sensitive marine waters, fresh waters or wetlands in the <br />City. However, the City does contain several drainage systems <br /> <br />7 ~~-~7 <br />
