project and the projected build out of the City's current General Plan. The project will have no new or • more severe impacts beyond those addressed and mitigated in the EIR. e) Result in a determination by the wastewater treatment provider, which serves or may serve the project that it has adequate capacity to serve the project's projected demand in addition to the provider's existing commitments? (No Substantial Change from Previous Analysis) Mitigation measures were designed to minimize potential impacts to utilities and service systems. As detailed in the EIR, the previous project would not result in wastewater generation that would exceed the design capacity of the Orange County Sanitation District's (OCSD) Reclamation Plant No. 1. It is anticipated that OCSD would be able handle wastewater from the proposed 185-room hotel. However, if Plant No. 1 is operating at capacity, wastewater flows would be diverted to Reclamation Plant No. 2 in Huntington Beach. Thus, the proposed project would not result in a need to expand or construct a new wastewater treatment plan. The project will have no new or more severe impacts beyond those addressed and mitigated in the EIR. ~ Be served by a landfill with sufficient permitted capacity to accommodate the project's solid waste disposal needs? (No Substantial Change from Previous Analysis) Mitigation measures were designed to minimize potential impacts to utilities and service systems. As detailed in the EIR, the project as previously proposed would have a solid waste disposal demand of 6,424 pounds per day. The change in solid waste based on the hotel and the removal of the Cinema Lofts and the 13,872 square foot retaiUrestaurant component is not expected to be significant. The identified daily capacity available at the Bowerman landfill is adequate to support the potential increase. Mitigation Measure U-1 -Prior to issuance of building permits, the project developer shall • ensure that the building plans for the hotel shall incorporate facilities for collection and pick-up of recyclable materials. 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 utilities and service systems. ~ Comply with federal, state, and local statutes and regulations related to solid waste? (No Substantial Change from Previous Analysis) The solid waste generated by the hotel will not violate federal, state, and local statutes and regulations related to solid waste. A trash enclosure is included on the northern side of the hotel. Mitigation measures were designed and included in the EIR to minimize potential impacts to utilities and service systems. The project will have no new or more severe impacts beyond those addressed and mitigated in the EIR. XIII. Mandatory Findings of Significance a) Does the project have the potential to degrade the quality of the environment, substantially reduce the habitat of a fish or wildlife species, cause a fish or wildlife population to drop below self-sustaining levels, threaten to eliminate a plant or animal community, reduce the number or restrict the range of a rare or endangered plant or animal, or eliminate important examples of the major periods of California history or prehistory? (No Substantial Change from Previous Analysis) Impacts to the environment were analyzed in the MacArthur Place South EIR. Due to the location of the project on a previously developed, urbanized site, no impacts to biological resources will occur. The proposed project will not degrade the quality of the environment or substantially reduce the habitat • Resolution No. 2009-025 Page 49 of 95 MacArthur Place South EIR Addendum 51
