w Environmental Checklist For CEQA Compliance that time, hazardous impacts would be identified- and mitigation measures proposed if necessary. Therefore, impacts are considered less than significant. B. Less-Than-Significant Impact. The proposed project involves designating parts of the city of Santa Ana as an SEZ to provide financial incentives for the promotion of economic development in depressed areas of the city. The proposed project would not result in any specific demolition project, construction project, land acquisition project, or other development project. These types of impacts would be addressed on a case-by-case basis under CEQA during the City's development and review process. Any impacts related to hazardous emissions, and mitigation measures needed, would be identified at that time. Therefore, impacts are less than significant. C. Less-Than-Significant Impact. The proposed project would not result in any specific demolition project, construction project, land acquisition project, or other development project. These types of impacts would be addressed on a case-by-case basis under CEQA during the City's development and review process. Any impacts related to hazardous emissions, and mitigation measures needed, would be identified at that time. Therefore, impacts are less than significant. D. Less-Than-Significant Impact. The closest airport to the proposed SEZ is John Wayne Airport. The southern/southeastern section of the proposed SEZ is located within the boundaries of the Airport Environs Land Use Plan (AELUP) for John Wayne Airport, which is administered by the Orange County Airport Land Use Commission (ALUC). The part of the proposed SEZ within the AELUP area is also within the Height Restriction Zone for the John Wayne Airport and the notification area of the Federal Aviation Regulation {FAR) Part 77 Imaginary Surfaces aeronautical obstruction area. The SEZ would not directly result in any specific construction project, land acquisition project, or other development project. However, any projects that occur as an indirect result of the SEZ would need to evaluate the notification requirements of Part 77 and complete a Form 7460-1, if required. Additionally, any projects indirectly resulting from the SEZ would require a referral by the City to the ALUC if those projects were located within the AELUP Planning Area and if they required certain City approvals (i.e. the zone change) under PUC Section 21676(b). These types of impacts would be addressed on a case-by-case basis under CEQA during the City's development and review process. Any impacts related to hazardous emissions, and mitigation measures needed, would be identified at that time. Therefore, impacts are less than significant. VIII. Hydrology and Water Quality A. Less-Than-Significant Impact. The city of Santa Ana is included within four watersheds: San Diego Creek, Santa Ana River, Talbert, and Westminster. Each of these watershed areas are under the jurisdiction of the Santa Ana Regional Water Quality Control Board (RWQCB), and subject to the objectives, water quality standards, and best management practice requirements established in the Santa Ana River Basin Plan and Orange County Drainage Area Management Plan (DAMP). The City of Santa Ana Storm Water Management Program Ordinance (Municipal Code Ch. 18) governs all projects within the city to comply with the Orange County DAMP and the Santa Ana RWQCB N1S4 permit, which is the National Pollutant Discharge Elimination (NPDES) permit that governs storm water discharges into the public storm system (MDS Consulting 2007:1). The city of Santa Ana does not contain any impaired water bodies, as defined by Section 303 of the Clean Water Santa Ana State Enterprise Zone November 2007 Initial Study 3-23 19E-37 gas aoeia m
