Environmental Checklist <br />For CEQA Compliance <br />E. Less-Than-Significant Impact. The proposed SEZ would not result in any impacts to <br />emergency access within or through the SEZ. Any specific projects indirectly resulting from <br />the SEZ business incentives would have to go through the City's development review and <br />permitting process, and this process would require any project to comply with all applicable <br />emergency access policies and requirements. Therefore, impacts would be less than <br />significant. <br />F. Less-Than-Significant Impact. The proposed SEZ would not directly impact the parking <br />capacity in the area. For projects that may indirectly result from the SEZ business incentives, <br />parking requirements would be evaluated on a case-by-case basis as part of the City's <br />development review process, and this process would require any project to comply with all <br />applicable parking policies and requirements. Therefore, impacts would be less than <br />significant. <br />G. Less-Than-Significant Impact. The project would not conflict with adopted policies, plans, <br />or programs supporting alternative transportation. The City of Santa Ana and the Orange <br />County Congestion Management Plan (2005) outline a number of alternative transportation <br />goals and policies. Any project that occurred as an indirect result of the SEZ business <br />incentives would need to comply with all applicable transportation policies through the City's <br />development review process. Therefore, impacts would be less than significant. <br />XVI. Utilities and Service Systems <br />A. Less-Than-Significant Impact. The proposed SEZ would not result in any specific <br />construction projects, land acquisition projects, or other development projects. Therefore, the <br />proposed project would not exceed wastewater treatment requirements of the Santa Ana <br />RWQCB. Individual projects that may occur as an indirect result of SEZ business incentives <br />could exceed wastewater requirements. However, the project area is located within the <br />service area of the RWQCB, and any projects indirectly resulting from SEZ incentives would <br />be required to comply with the RWQCB's objectives, water quality standards, and best <br />management practice requirements established in the Santa Ana River Basin Plan and <br />Orange County DAMP. The City of Santa Ana Storm Water Management Program <br />Ordinance (Municipal Code Ch. 18) governs all projects within the city to comply with the <br />Orange County DAMP and the Santa Ana RWQCB MS4 permit, which is the NPDES permit <br />that governs stormwater discharges into the public storm system. Therefore, wastewater <br />treatment requirements would not be exceeded, and impacts would be less than significant. <br />B_ Less-Than-Significant Impact. It is unlikely new or expanded water or wastewater <br />treatment facilities would be required to accommodate the proposed SEZ. Any individual <br />project that occurred as an indirect result of the SEZ business incentives would connect to <br />the existing sewer system. The Orange County Sanitation District manages and oversees all <br />wastewater generated by central and northern Orange County, including the City of Santa <br />Ana. This agency has a regular capital improvement program, which evaluates growth and <br />demand for wastewater services in its service area. The program is intended to ensure it <br />meets the needed future growth and demand in its service area. Additionally, since the <br />proposed project would not result in any specific construction project, land acquisition project, <br />or other development project, no wastewater services would be needed. Therefore, less- <br />than-significant impacts would occur. <br />Santa Ana State Enterprise Zone November 2007 <br />Initial Study 3-30 <br />J&S 00814.07 <br />19E-44 <br />
