Inventory of Applicable Mitigation Measures In adopting the Final EIR, the City's findings and resolutions contained 76 mitigation measures based on refinements and revisions made to the mitigation measures presented in the DEIR. The 76 mitigation measures were incorporated in the certified resolution. All mitigation measures and conditions will either be met in development or are a requirement of City ordinance. Each of these conditions, policies, and mitigation measures will be reviewed during the normal Site Plan review process. Additionally, uniformly applied policies and standards generated to ensure substantial mitigation of environmental effects are applied as conditions of approval or as routine steps in the development process. A Mitigation Monitoring Program has been adopted as part of the approval process to ensure methods, timing, and responsible parties to monitor all mitigation measures. Further refinements in Mitigation Monitoring are hereby included in the MacArthur Place South EIR Addendum to provide more specific descriptions of activities/improvements to ensure no significant impacts from the proposed project will result. These clarifications are summarized below: Mitigation Measure AE-1- Prior to issuance of building permits the project applicant shall ensure that building plans for the proposed project shall include the use of non-reflective building materials to minimize light and glare impacts. Mitigation Measure AQ-1 -During design and construction, the project developer shall incorporate features into the project that will minimize impacts from greenhouse gas emissions such as planting onsite trees as a means of providing carbon storage, promoting energy saving measures beyond Title 24 requirements and encouraging the use of Energy Star equipment and appliances. Mitigation Measure G-1 -During grading operations, the project applicant shall ensure special handling of on-site soils as required by the City of Santa Ana, due to the high moisture content of the soils, which is well above optimum moisture conditions. The City of Santa Ana shall monitor the grading contractor to ensure stabilization of the soils during grading prior to placing and compacting fill soils over wet subgrade soils, as recommended in the geotechnical investigation prepared by Geotechnical Professionals, Inc. 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. Mitigation Measure N-1 -During operation of the hotel, the project developer shall ensure that truck deliveries to the hotel shall be restricted to the hours of 7:00 a.m. to 10:00 p.m. Delivery trucks shall not be permitted to idle in the parking lots or loading areas and shall be required to have properly maintained, factory-approved mufflers. Delivery truck drivers shall be encouraged to minimize acceleration and maintain reduced vehicle speeds while on-site. Mitigation Measure N-2 -During project construction for the hotel, the project contractor shall verify that structural designs and acoustical baffling are implemented to reduce noise levels ftom mechanical equipment (ventilation fans, air conditioning, and refrigeration units and their associated inlet and exhaust systems) to a level that complies with the City's Municipal Code noise ordinance standards reproduced in the table below (and also reproduced in the EIR).
