Responses to <br />Environmental Checklist <br />For CEQA Compliance <br />CULTURAL RESOURCES <br />A. Cause a substantial adverse change in the significance of a <br />historical resource as defined in Section 15064.5? <br />B. Cause a substantial adverse change in the significance of a unique archaeological resource <br />pursuant to Section 15064.5? <br />C. Directly or indirectly disturb or destroy a unique paleontogicaf resource or site? <br />D. Disturb any human remains, including those interred outside of formal cemeteries. <br />No Impact <br />According to the City's General Plan Land Use Element EIR, the City of Santa Ana is known to contain <br />cultural resources. Additionally, according to the General Plan Land Use Element EIR there is high <br />probability that unknown cultural resources may exist in the City. Approval of the proposed amendments <br />to the Municipal Code to establish an ordinance for the regulation of massage establishments and <br />massage technician permits would not result in impacts to any cultural resource, in that approval of the <br />proposed ordinance would not involve any activities that would disturb known or unknown cultural <br />resources. Through the land-use certificate and conditional use permit process, future massage <br />establishments implemented under the proposed ordinance would be evaluated for potential impacts to <br />known and unknown cultural resources. <br />GEOLOGY/SOILS <br />A-1. Rupture of a known earthquake fault, as delineated on the most recent Alquist-Priolo <br />Earthquake Fault Zoning Map issued by the State geologist for the area or based on other <br />substantial evidence of a known fault? <br />A-2. Strong Seismic Ground shaking? <br />A-3. Seismic-related ground failure, including liquefaction? <br />A-4. Landslides <br />No Impact <br />According to the City's General Plan Land Use Element EIR there are no active earthquake faults, <br />Alquist-Priolo Earthquake Zones or landslides within the City. However, several active faults are located <br />within fifty miles of the City. In the event a moderate to high earthquake occurs along one of these faults, <br />portions of the City could experience moderate seismic shaking impacts. However, the seismic risks in <br />Santa Ana are similar to other areas in the southern Californian region. Additionally, according to the <br />General Plan Land Use Element EIR, the potential for liquefaction hazards within the City ranges from <br />very low to very high. Approval of the proposed amendments to the Municipal Code to establish an <br />ordinance for the regulation of massage establishments and massage technician permits would not <br />increase the potential for seismic impacts, and liquefaction impacts, in that the approval of proposed <br />ordinance would not involve the development of any structures that would be subject to seismic shaking <br />impacts or liquefaction hazards. Through the land-use certificate and conditional use permit process, <br />future massage establishments implemented under the proposed ordinance would be evaluated for <br />potential seismic risks. <br />B. Would the project result in substantial soil erosion or the loss of topsoil? <br />75C-55 <br />
