Responses to Environmental Checklist For CEQA Compliance E. Interfere substantially with the movement of any resident or migratory fish or wildlife species or with established resident or migratory wildlife corridors, or impede the use of wildlife nursery sites? F. Conflict with any local policies or ordinances protecting biological resources, such as tree preservation policy or ordinance? G. Conflict with the provisions of an adopted Habitat Conservation Plan, Natural Conservation Community Plan or other approved local, regional or state habitat conservation plan? No Impact The City of Santa Ana General Plan Land Use Element EIR indicates that Santa Ana is predominantly built-out and that all sizable expanses of undisturbed native vegetation have been eliminated. The site was previously developed with a restaurant and bar constructed in 1970 and demolished in 2004, at which time, the site was cleared of all vegetation. The property does not contain potential for nesting birds, as there are no trees on the site. In addition, the property is surrounded by development and a major roadway. There is no riparian habitat or other sensitive natural community on the proposed site. Finally, there is no adopted Habitat Conservation Plan, Natural Communities Conservation Plan, or other local, regional, or State habitat conservation plan that is applicable to the project site. Approval and implementation of the proposed project will not result in impacts to any on-site biological resource. V. Cultural Resources A. Cause a substantial adverse change in the significance of a historical resource which is either listed or eligible for listing on the National Register of Historic Places, the California Register or Historic Resources, or a local register of historic resources? No Impact The proposed project site is vacant and undeveloped. No historical resources have been identified on the site. Therefore, implementation of the proposed project would not result in an adverse change to an historical resource. B. Cause a substantial adverse change in the significance of a unique archaeological resource (i.e., an artifact, object or site about which it can be clearly demonstrated that, without merely adding to the current body of knowledge, there is a high probability that it contains information needed to answer important scientific research questions, has a special and particular quality such as being the oldest or best available example of its type, or is directly associated with a scientifically recognized important prehistoric or historic event or person? Less-Than-Significant Impact with Mitigation Incorporated The project site has already been subject to extensive disruption as it was previously developed with a building that has been demolished. As part of the demolition process, the site was excavated to a depth of at least two feet below ground level. Given the prior history of disturbance, it is likely that any archaeological resources that may have existed at one have already been disturbed. Nonetheless, construction activities associated with project implementation could potentially unearth previously undocumented resources and result in a significant impact. If archaeological resources are discovered 7 5A-41
