Responses to <br />Environmental Checklist <br />For CEQA Compliance <br />B. Exposure of persons to or generation of excessive groundborne vibration or groundborne <br />noise levels. <br />D. A substantial temporary or periodic increase in ambient noise levels in the project vicinity <br />above levels existing without project. <br />Less Than Significant Impact <br />The construction of the proposed project would involve conventional construction equipment resulting in <br />less than significant ground borne vibration impacts. No mitigation measures are necessary. <br />Implementation of the proposed project would result in short-term construction related noise impacts. <br />Short-term noise impacts would result from site preparation, excavation, grading, and other construction <br />operations. The construction-related short-term noise levels would be higher than the existing or ambient <br />noise levels in the project area today, but would no longer occur once construction of the project is <br />complete. <br />The Municipal Code recognizes that some forms of noise are required for urban development and <br />maintenance and are difficult to control. Section 18-314(e) exempts noise sources associated with <br />construction, repair, remodeling, or grading of any real property, provided said activities do not take place <br />between the hours of 8:00 p.m. and 7:00 a.m. on weekdays, including Saturday, or any time on Sunday or <br />a federal holiday. Compliance with the City's Noise Ordinance would reduce construction noise impacts to <br />a level considered less than significant. <br />E. For a project located within an airport land use plan or where such a plan has not been <br />adopted, within two miles of a public airport or public use airport, would the project <br />expose people residing or working in the project area to excessive noise levels? <br />No impact <br />There are no public airports in the City of Santa Ana; however, John Wayne International Airport is located <br />one-mile southwest of city limits. The proposed project is located within atwo-mile radius of the airport. <br />According to the Santa Ana General Plan Draft Environmental Impact Report, no area of the City of Santa <br />Ana is within the noise impact area or 65 CNEL of John Wayne International Airport. Therefore, people <br />residing or working in the project area will not be exposed to excessive noise levels. No impact is <br />anticipated. <br />XII. Population and Housing <br />A. Induce substantial population growth in an area, either directly or indirectly through <br />extension of roads or other infrastructure. <br />B. Displace substantial numbers of existing housing, necessitating the construction of <br />replacement housing elsewhere. <br />C. Displace substantial numbers of people, necessitating the construction of replacement <br />housing elsewhere? <br />Pag~?,q ~~ A 0 12 <br />
