Responses to <br />Environmental Checklist <br />For CEQA Compliance <br />F. Result in inadequate parking capacity <br />No Impact <br />The project's parking requirement, based on the City of Santa Ana parking code is 87 parking stalls. The <br />project is providing 151 parking stalls; therefore the project exceeds the City's parking requirement by 64 <br />parking spaces. <br />G. Conflict with adopted policies supporting alternative transportation <br />No Impact <br />The proposed project would not be in conflict with any City policies regarding alternative modes of <br />transportation. Nor would implementation of the proposed project displace any existing modes of public <br />transportation provided within the project area. <br />XVI. Utilities and Service Systems <br />B. Require or result in the construction of new water or wastewater treatment facilities or <br />expansion of existing facilities, the construction of which could cause significant <br />environmental effects? <br />D. Are sufficient water supplies available to serve the project from existing entitlements and <br />resources or are new or expanded entitlements needed? <br />Less Than Significant Impact <br />The City of Santa Ana Water Department would provide domestic water service for the proposed project. <br />The City of Santa Ana produces water from two sources. The Orange County Groundwater Basin <br />provides 75% of the annual water supply and the Metropolitan Water District provides 25% of the annual <br />water supply. The City of Santa Ana has 19 active wells with combined capacities of approximately <br />42,500 gallons per minute. The total combined capacity of all water production facilities is 63,200 gallons <br />per minute. <br />The California Water Management Act of 1983 requires urban water suppliers to prepare Urban Water <br />Management Plans to address the water needs of a community and the ability to provide water during <br />normal, single dry or multiple dry years, based on land uses and population growth reflected in the City's <br />General Plan. The Urban Water Management Plan is required to be updated every five years. According <br />to the City's 2000 Urban Water Management Plan, the total projected water demand for the City in 2005 is <br />approximately 47,265 acre feet per year, which is a decrease compared to Year 2000 water demand of <br />48,858 acre feet. According to the City's Water Department the long-term water demand in the City is <br />projected to decease slightly. <br />Implementation of the proposed project would not significantly increase water demand within the project <br />area over the current condition. The proposed project is consistent with the General Plan and the water <br />demands for the proposed project would be accounted for in the City's Urban Water Management Plan. <br />A. Exceed wastewater treatment requirements of the applicable Regional Water Quality <br />Control Board? <br />Pag~2~~ ~ ~ ~ 15 <br />
