Environmental Checklist For CEQA Compliance D. Less Than Significant with Mitigation Incorporated. As stated in Section XV.A, the City Engineer for the City of Santa Ana indicated that a significant adverse impact would occur at the intersection of N. Harbor Boulevard and Kent Street as a result of the proposed project. Implementation of Mitigation Measures T-1 and T-2 would reduce impacts to this intersection to a Tess than significant level. E. Less Than Significant Impact. The project would not result in inadequate emergency access. Additionally, the project would not affect existing emergency access routes. All appropriate fire and emergency access conditions would be incorporated into the design of the project. Prior to final site plan approval, the applicant will submit plans to the department for review of compliance with applicable fire equipment regulations. Impacts would be less than significant. No Impact. Section 41-1344 of the City of Santa Ana Municipal Code states that "the minimum off-street parking requirements for hotels and motels are as follows: one (1) space for each guest room, plus one (1) space for each ten (10) rooms, plus two (2) spaces for a manager's unit, if provided". No manager's unit is provided as part of the proposed project. The 190 rooms proposed as part of the transient/residential hotel require 209 parking spaces. A total of 210 parking spaces would be provided as part of the proposed project. This exceeds the amount of parking required as part of the municipal code. There would be no impact as a result of inadequate parking capacity. G. Less Than Significant Impact. The project would not conflict with adopted policies, plans, or programs supporting alternative transportation. No bike route is provided or proposed along either Harbor Boulevard or Kent Street as part of the City of Santa Ana Bikeway Master Plan (City of Santa Ana 2003). The project site is served by the Orange County Transit Authority (OCTA) bus route #47 along Harbor Boulevard and route #66 along McFadden Avenue (OCTA. 20D6. Bus System Map). Additionally, the project is within walking distance of a number of retail needs. No significant impacts would occur. XVI. Utilities and Service Systems A. Less Than Significant Impact. The project site is located within the service area of the Santa Ana Regional Water Quality Control Board (RWOCB). The project would not exceed the wastewater treatment requirements of the RWOCB. The site currently generates municipal wastewater. The proposed project would not result in the construction of additional building square footage; therefore, there would not be an increase in wastewater generated by the project site. Wastewater treatment requirements would not be exceeded and impacts would be less than significant. B. No Impact. The project does not involve either new construction or the expansion of existing onsite buildings. The project site would not generate any additional wastewater; therefore, no new or expanded water or wastewater treatment facilities would be required to accommodate the proposed project. No impacts would occur. C. No Impact. Refer to Section XVI.B California Palms May 2007 Initial Study/Mitigated Negative Declaration 3-30 J&5 0296.07 75D-87
