<br />According to the City's General plan Land Use Element EIR, the <br />City of Santa Ana is unlikely that any significant <br />paleontological, archeological or human remains at located the <br />project site. Additionally, the site is located within an <br />urbanized area that has been disturbed by previous and existing <br />development. The project will be monitored during the <br />construction phase to ensure that no cultural resources are <br />affected. In the unlikely event that any human remains are <br />found at the site, a qualified paleontologist and/or <br />archeologist will be required to survey the area prior to the <br />continuance of construction. <br /> <br />v.

Landslides <br /> <br />No Impact <br /> <br />According to the City's General Plan Land Use Element EIR there <br />are no active earthquake faults, Alquist-Priolo Earthquake Zones <br />or landslides within the City. However, several active faults <br />are located wi thin fifty miles of the City. In the event a <br />moderate to high earthquake occurs along one of these faults, <br />portions of the City could experience moderate seismic shaking <br />impacts. However, the seismic risks in Santa Ana are similar to <br />other areas in the Southern Californian region. Additionally, <br />according to the City of Santa Ana General Plan Seismic Element <br />(1982), the potential for liquefaction hazards within the City <br />ranges from very low to very high. Areas with high liquefaction <br />potential are those having ground water less than twenty feet in <br />depth. According to the Seismic Element, the proposed <br />construction site is not within an area with liquefaction or <br />significant seismic activity potential. <br /> <br />Approval of the proposed amendment to the Municipal Code to <br />establish a zoning ordinance for a Specific District and any <br />subsequent construction according to this zoning document would <br />not increase the potential for seismic impacts, an/or <br />liquefaction impacts, in that the approval of proposed ordinance <br />amendment would not involve the development of any structures <br /> <br />8nAr40 <br />
