Environmental Checklist For CEQA Compliance Commission 2002). Implementation of the proposed project would not expose the site occupants to excessive aircraft noise levels and no mitigation measures would be necessary. There would be a less than significant impact. XII. Population and Housing A. Less Than Significant Impacts. The proposed project includes the construction of 38 single-family residential units, a zoning amendment to accommodate the zone change for the residential land use, a tract map to allow the sale of the units and a widening of Alton Avenue to the final planned design. The proposed project increases the total housing units available (73,002) in the City of Santa Ana by less than 1.0% (approximately 0.05%) (U.S. Census Bureau 2000: Matrices H3, H4, H5, H6, H7, and H16). A 1% increase in housing is negligible to the overall growth of the City; it would not be considered substantially growth inducing. The widening of Alton Avenue is included in the General Plan as planned design for this roadway. The restripping and increased shoulder width of the road would be considered growth accommodating, because it is planned for in the General Plan, rather than growth inducing. Therefore, impacts would be less than significant. B. Less Than Significant Impact. The proposed project includes the construction of 38 single- family residential units, a zoning amendment to accommodate the zone change for the residential land use, a tract map to allow the sale of the units and a widening of Alton Avenue to the final planned width. The proposed project would be adding to the existing housing stock in the City and not displacing housing necessitating the construction of replacement housing elsewhere. Therefore, there would be a less than significant impact. C. Less Than Significant Impact. As stated in Section XII-B above, the proposed project would not displace housing and therefore substantial numbers of people, but rather would provide housing. Therefore, the impact would be less than significant. XIII. Public Services Fire Protection: Less Than Significant Impact. Implementation of the project could potentially contribute additional demand for fire protection and emergency medical services, including possible additional wear on fire equipment and increased use of medical supplies. However, the existing warehouse operations located on the project site currently contribute to fire and emergency demands, and the proposed project is not likely to result in many more additional demands than the existing use on fire and emergency services. The City of Santa Ana Fire Department would provide fire protective services to the propose project site. The project site would be served by the nearest fire station, Station 7, which is located at 2317 South Greenville Street at the intersection of Greenville and Warner, approximately 1 mile to the north of the project site (Dix pers. comm.). Under the City's Mutual Aid Agreement for fire protection services, the neighboring cities of Fountain Valley, Garden Grove, Tustin, Irvine, and Costa Mesa would provide backup service as needed (Orange County Fire Authority 2007). Emergency vehicle access for the project would be provided to the project site via the Alton Avenue driveway. Prior to final site plan approval, the applicant would submit plans to the department for review of compliance with applicable water pressure and fire equipment regulations. Impacts would be less than significant. Alton Court August 2007 Initial Study/Mitigated Negative Declaration 3-36 J&S 00635.07 75A-102
