Communities <br />participating in the NFIP must adopt and enforce minimum floodplain management standards, including <br />identification of flood hazards and flood risks. Participation in the NFIP allows communities to purchase <br />low cost insurance protection against losses from flooding. The published Flood Insurance Rate Maps <br />(FIRM) for the project site is included on Community Panel No. 06023202144H. The project site is located <br />entirely in Zone X, which is defined as areas beyond the limits of the 100-year flood and 500-year flood. <br />Implementation of the proposed project would not significantly increase the potential for flood risks. <br /> <br />IX. Land Use and Planning <br /> <br />A. Physically divide an established community? <br /> <br />C. Conflict with any applicable habitat conservation plan or natural community plan? <br /> <br />No Impact <br /> <br />The project site is currently developed with a commercial development oriented towards two arterial <br />streets. The new development will continue the existing development pattern and will not divide existing <br />neighborhoods. The proposed project is located in an urbanized setting and no locally designated species <br />or natural communities are known to exist in the project area. The site is not part of any habitat <br />conservation plan or natural community preservation plan. <br /> <br />B. Conflict with any applicable land use plan, policy, or regulation of an agency with <br />jurisdiction over the project adopted for the purpose of avoiding or mitigating an <br />environmental effect? <br /> <br />No impact <br /> <br />The General Plan land use designation for the site is dual. The site is purposely split so that General <br />Commercial land use designation is located parallel to Seventeenth Street and includes the corner with <br />Bristol Street and Low Density Residential designation is located adjacent to the residential development <br />perpendicular to Bristol Street. The intent of the split general plan designation and their corresponding <br />zoning designation is to create a buffer between two adjacent dissimilar uses. The zoning for the site <br />reflects the intent of the general plan in that the General Commercial designation portion of the site has a <br />corresponding Community Commercial (C-1) zone designation, while the Low Density Residential has a <br />Two-Family Residence (R2) zone designation. The Santa Ana Municipal Code allows the addition of the <br />B-Suffix to any zone adjacent to a commercial zone to allow for parking in conjunction with a commercial <br />use, thus creating a buffer area between the actual residential development and the commercial building. <br />The site is currently developed with this pattern. The proposed project will continue the existing <br />development pattern and will not create a conflict with any applicable land use plan, policy or regulations <br />adopted for the purpose of avoiding or mitigating an environmental effect. <br /> <br />X. Mineral Resources <br /> <br />A. Result in the loss of availability of a locally important mineral resource recovery site <br />delineated on a local general plan, specific plan or other land use plan? <br /> <br />No Impact <br /> <br />31A3~8 <br /> <br />10 <br />
