CHAPTER 4 Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Program 4.1 INTRODUCTION The California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) requires the adoption of feasible mitigation measures to reduce the severity and magnitude of potentially significant environmental impacts associated with project development. The Final Environmental Impact Report (Final EIR) for the proposed Metro East Mixed Use Overlay Zone EIR (State Clearinghouse No.2006031041) located within the City of Santa Ana (City), includes proi,'fam and project-specific mitigation measures to reduce the potential environmental effects of the Overlay Zone, as well as the First and CabriUo Towers Project. Monitoring of the implementation of adopted mitigation measures is required by Public Resources Code Section 21081.6. The Final EIR for the proposed project provides a list of mitigation measures, and describes the process whereby the mitigation measures would be monitored. Following certification of the Final EIR and approval of this Mitigation Monitoring Program (MMP) by the City, the mitigation measures included in the Final EIR would be monitored as described in this MMP. It should be noted that because this EIR contained program- and project-level components, two separate MMP tables are presented as part of this M~fP for the Overlay Zone and for the First and CabriUo Towers project. 4.2 PURPOSE The purpose of the proposed Overlay Zone EIR MMP is to ensure compliance with all mitigation measures to mitigate or avoid potentially significant adverse environmental impacts resulting from the proposed project that were identified in the Final EIR. Implementation of this MMP shall be accomplished by the City of Santa Ana. Mitigation measures will be implemented (1) as part of design development of the project, (2) during project construction, or (3) as part of project operations. 4.3 RESPONSIBILITIES AND DUTIES In general, monitoring wiU consist of demonstrating that mitigation measures were implemented, and that the responsible unit monitored the implementation of the measures. The responsible unit for determining compliance with all mitigation measures will be the City. Monitoring will consist of determining whether . The specific issues identified in the mitigation measures \vere considered in the design development phase . Construction contracts included the provisions specified in the mitigation measures . The required actions specified in the mitigation measures occurred prior to or during construction . Ongoing administrative activities included the provisions identified in the mitigation measures Metro East Mixed Use Overlay Zone (Volume III) ~g~A20 4-1
