Environmental Checklist <br />CEQA Compliance <br />Segerstrom Avenue, along with the construction of new sidewalks in areas where <br />demolition is to occur. As part of the site plan, the existing wall separating the site from the <br />existing motel use would be replaced with asix-foot tall tan block wall. The proposed lift <br />station also would be constructed and housed within an approximate 8-foot by 30-foot block <br />building, measuring approximately 17 feet in height. The structure would be composed of <br />tan brick walls, with two doors providing access to the interior. The roof material would be <br />composed of metal roofing with a simulated Spanish the pattern. Within the structure, the <br />following facilities would be constructed: electrical panels and control center; abelow- <br />ground wet well of sufficient size and depth to prevent back up and surcharging of the <br />upstream sewer mains; abelow-ground dry pit to house the pumps, motors, associated <br />equipment and appurtenances; and a stairway access into the dry pit. As part of the design <br />for the facility, an odor control system would be installed to preclude odors from the site. <br />Figure 8, Proposed Lift Stafion Landscaping Plan, depicts landscaping that would occur <br />once site improvements are completed. As shown, some existing landscaping along <br />Segerstrom Avenue would remain. Proposed landscaping would be concentrated in a <br />triangular area located between the proposed lift station and the sidewalk along Segerstrom <br />Avenue, and would include the planting of several 24-inch Brisbane Box trees, along with <br />shrubs and groundcover (including Silverberry and Autumn Sage). <br />Figure 9, Proposed Lift Stafion Visual Simulation, provides a graphical depiction depicting <br />the site under existing conditions and provides a comparison to what the site would look like <br />upon completion of the improvements proposed by the project. <br />As part of the proposed project, the City of Santa Ana will acquire title to approximately 292 <br />s.f. of private property for the proposed project, which is currently owned by Santa Ana <br />California Lodge, LLC (Studio Inn, APN No. 410-411-19). An exhibit showing the private <br />property to be acquired for the proposed project is included as Figure 10, Acquisition Area. <br />The private property would be acquired by the City in any manner authorized by law, which <br />in proper circumstances could potentially include adoption by the City Council of the City of <br />Santa Ana of a resolution of necessity. Additionally, it should be noted that the area <br />proposed for acquisition would overlap with a portion of the area proposed for the temporary <br />construction easement shown on Figure 6 and described above. <br />The project also proposes the construction of 1,300 lineal feet of new 15-inch to 18-inch <br />sewer mains and appurtenances. Construction of these new facilities would occur within <br />the right-of-way of Bristol Street and Segerstrom Avenue, and would be necessary to re- <br />connect several existing sewer mains to the new pump station at San Lorenzo Avenue. <br />X. Surrounding Land Uses and Setting: <br />The project site is located within an urban developed portion of the City of Santa Ana. East <br />of the proposed lift station site, and north of Segerstrom Avenue, land uses are dominated <br />by single-family residential uses. South of Segerstrom Avenue and east of the site is the <br />Saddle Back High School, with residential uses located adjacent to the high school on the <br />west side. Immediately west of the proposed lift station site is an existing motel (Studio <br />Inn). Land uses north and south of Segerstrom Avenue westerly of the proposed lift station <br />site include primarily commercial retail land uses. Commercial land uses also characterize <br />Page 5 of 64 <br />75E-9 <br />
