Responses to <br />Environmental Checklist <br />For CEQA Compliance <br />J. Result in significant alteration of receiving water quality during or following construction. <br />K. Could the proposed project result in increased erosion downstream? <br />No Impact <br />Erosion refers to the removal of soil from exposed bedrock surfaces by water or wind. The effects of <br />erosion are intensified with an increase in slope, the narrowing of runoff channels and by the removal of <br />groundcover, which leaves the soil exposed. Approval of the proposed ordinance would not result in <br />erosion impacts, in that the proposed amendments would not involve any construction activities that <br />would disturb or uncover soils to facilitate erosion impacts. Through the land-use certificate and <br />conditional use permit process, future massage establishments implemented under the proposed <br />ordinance would be evaluated for potential soil erosion impacts and would be subject to the City's erosion <br />control requirements. <br />O. Tributary to other environmentally sensitive areas? If so, can it exacerbate already existing <br />sensitive conditions? <br />P. Have a potentially significant environmental impact or surface water quality to either <br />marine, fresh or wetland waters? <br />S. Impact aquatic, wetland or riparian habitat? <br />No Impact <br />According to the City's General Plan Land Use Element EIR, there are no sensitive marine waters, fresh <br />waters or wetlands in the City. However, the City does contain several drainage systems that convey <br />drainage flows to sensitive marine resources. Pollutants conveyed through these drainage systems could <br />adversely impact sensitive marine resources. Approval of the proposed ordinance would not result in any <br />activities that would discharge pollutants into sensitive downstream marine resources. Through the land- <br />use certificate and conditional use permit process, future massage establishments implemented under <br />the proposed ordinance would be evaluated for potential water quality impacts and would be subject to <br />the City's storm water protection requirements. <br />LAND USE/PLANNING <br />A. Physically divide an established community? <br />No Impact <br />The proposed amendment to the Municipal Code to establish an ordinance for the regulation of massage <br />establishments and massage technician permits would provide location criteria and operational standards <br />to ensure that massage establishments would not encroach into or physically divide any established <br />communities or neighborhoods in Santa Ana. No adverse land use impacts would be associated with the <br />approval of the proposed ordinance. <br />B. Conflict with any applicable land use plan, policy, or regulation of an agency with <br />jurisdiction over the project adopted for the purpose of avoiding or mitigating an <br />environmental effect? <br />No Impact <br />75C-59 <br />
