Environmental Checklist For CEQA Compliance XVII. Mandatory Findings of Significance A. Less Than Significant Impact. The project area is highly urban in character and does not contain biological resources that would be affected by the implementation of the project. Additionally, no cultural resources, either historical or prehistorical, are expected to be affected by the construction or operation of the project. No significant impacts would occur. Less Than Significant Impact. The project would not result in impacts that are cumulatively considerable. The City of Santa Ana identified two projects within the vicinity of the proposed project. These projects include a 22,OOD square foot commercial development at 421 N. Harbor Boulevard and a 44,000 square foot commercial/office development at 520 S. Harbor Boulevard. The proposed project has the potential to result in cumulative impacts in conjunction with these two projects: Implementation of the proposed project has the potential to temporarily increase dust levels in the project area. The proposed project in conjunction with those listed above would have the potential to contribute to a cumulative impact to air quality in the project area. The mitigation measure identified in Section III.B would reduce the significant air quality impacts associated with the proposed project to a level of less than significant. Since it is unlikely that all activities would occur in the same area at one time, increases in dust levels would be dispersed and a significant air quality impact would not occur. Implementation of the proposed project has the potential to result in the disturbance of undiscovered cultural resources. In conjunction with the projects listed above, the proposed project would have the potential to contribute to a cumulative impact to cultural resources. It is unlikely that asphalt removal and landscaping associated with the proposed project would uncover a major cultural find because the project site is a previously disturbed area. The mitigation measure identified in Section V.D would reduce the significance of impacts to cultural resources associated with disturbance of an undiscovered cultural resource. Other projects in the vicinity of the proposed project would be required to implement measures similar to Mitigation Measure CR-1. As such cumulative impacts associated with the proposed project would be less than significant. Implementation of the proposed project may result in the disposal of asbestos containing building materials, lead based paint, and PCB-containing lighting ballasts. In conjunction with the projects listed above, the proposed project would have the potential to contribute to a cumulative impact to hazards and hazardous materials. The mitigation measure identified in Section VILA would reduce the significance of impacts to cultural resources associated with disposal of hazardous materials to a less than significant level. Hazardous waste that may be found at other project sites would be disposed of according to local, state, and federal requirements. Implementation of the mitigation measure provided as part of the proposed project and implementation of other safety measures in the cumulative scenario would reduce cumulative impacts associated with the proposed project to below a level of significance.
