City Place Sky Lofts Final Environmental Impact Report Findings <br />6.1 ALTERNATIVES CONSIDERED BUT REJECTED <br />6.1.1 ALTERNATIVE SITE FOR THE PROPOSED PROJECT <br />The EIR does not analyze an alternative site for the City Place Sky Lofts project because the applicant <br />does not own or control another suitable property in the City of Santa Ana. The City Place Sky Lofts <br />project would generate approximately the same traffic and air quality emissions at any other location in <br />the City, to the same or greater extent than at the proposed site. Therefore, locating the City Place Sky <br />Lofts project at another site in the City would essentially shift the project's adverse impacts to that other <br />location, but would not be expected to avoid or substantially reduce those impacts. However, it should be <br />noted that the traffic impacts which occur in the City of Orange under the City Place Sky Lofts project <br />could possibly be located to an area entirely within the City of Santa Ana if an alternative project site <br />were considered, but the level of impact would remain comparable. As a result, an alternative site for the <br />proposed project was not evaluated in the Draft EIR. <br />6.2 NO PROJECT ALTERNATIVES <br />6.2.1 NO PROJECT/EXISTING CONDITIONS ALTERNATIVE <br />This No Project Alternative assumes that the existing 2.008-acre project site remains as is and that no <br />development occurs on the site. With this Alternative, the site would remain vacant and no residential or <br />commercial uses would be developed. Table 9-1 from the Draft EIR, on the following page, indicates that <br />the No Project/Existing Conditions Alternative would not meet any of the objectives for the City Place <br />Sky Lofts project. <br />6.2.2 NO PROJECT/EXISTING ENTITLEMENT ALTERNATIVE <br />This No Project Alternative assumes that the 2.008-acre project site would be developed consistent with the <br />existing approved entitlements for the project site per SD-59. The existing entitlements would allow for one <br />dwelling unit per acre. This No Project Alternative would result in two additional housing units and would <br />result in a substantially lower land use density on the project site than the proposed project that consists of <br />353 residential dwelling units. However, this No Project Alternative would not meet the objectives for the <br />City Place Sky Lofts project. <br />6.3 TOWN HOME ALTERNATIVE <br />The Town Home Alternative consists of 57 town homes on the project site. This alternative is the same <br />design as proposed for the site in the original City Place project in 2004. However, only two dwelling <br />units were entitled for the site. This Alternative would reduce the development on the project site <br />by 296 residential dwelling units compared to the City Place Sky Lofts project. This Town Home <br />Alternative would meet all but one of the project objectives. This Alternative would provide 296 fewer <br />dwelling units than the proposed project, and therefore would not meet the project objective to maximize <br />residential density on the site. <br />6.4 COMPARISON OF IMPACTS <br />Table 9-1 in the EIR, provided below, compares the unavoidable adverse impacts of the City Place Sky Lofts <br />project and the No Project/Existing Conditions, No Project/Existing Entitlement and Town Home <br />Alternatives. <br />F.
