e) For a project located within an airport land use plan or, where such a plan has not been adopted, within two miles of a public airport or public use airport, would the project result in a safety hazard for people residing or working in the project area? (No Substantial Change from Previous Analysis) The nearest public use airport, John Wayne Airport, is approximately 1.1 miles from the site. The FAA previously issued two Determinations of No Hazard for two different locations of the Cinema Tower. As described in the Introduction, Section C, both Determinations have expired. The proposed relocation of the Cinema Tower will require a new aeronautical study by the FAA at a future time when the Cinema Tower is scheduled for construction. Mitigation Measure H-1 -Prior to the issuance of a building permit, the project developer shall provide evidence to the Planning Manager that an FAA Determination of No Hazard to Air Navigation has been obtained for the relocated Cinema Tower. The project developer shall demonstrate compliance with any conditions imposed by the FAA in their Determination. Implementation of the above mitigation measure will ensure that no new or more severe impacts beyond those addressed and mitigated in the EIR will occur. Therefore, the EIR remains complete and adequate as it relates to hazards. ~ For a project within the vicinity of a private airstrip, would the project result in a safety hazard for people residing or working in the project area? (No Substantial Change from Previous Analysis) The project is not located within the vicinity of a private airstrip and, therefore, would not expose people residing or working in the project area to a safety hazard. ~ Impair implementation of or physically interfere with an adopted emergency response plan or emergency evacuation plan? (No Substantial Change from Previous Analysis) The construction of the proposed project will not produce any physical constraints or impair an adopted emergency response plan or an emergency evacuation plan. Standard conditions have been imposed regarding provision of fire access roads and fire lane markings as well as project review by the Fire Authority. As analyzed in the EIR, there will be no impact related to impairment of emergency response plans or emergency evacuation plans. h) Expose people or structures to a significant risk of loss, injury or death involving wildland fires, including where wildlands are adjacent to urbanized areas or where residences are intermixed with wildlands? (No Substantial Change from Previous Analysis) The EIR identified potential impacts in the area of hazards and hazardous materials that would result from project implementation. No changes have occurred in this area from the analysis provided in the EIR. Therefore, the EIR remains adequate and complete for this topic. V. Hydrology and Water Quality Hydrology and water quality impacts due to short-term construction activities and long-term operation were identified in the EIR. Mitigation measures were included to reduce potential impacts to less than significant. Mitigation measures from the EIR are incorporated herein by reference and include HW-1 thru HW-11, which, per the EIR, reduced project impacts to a less than significant level. These mitigation measures will be implemented as part of the project and will reduce short-term construction and long-term operational impacts to a less than significant level.
