as difference in the physical scale of development, noise levels, traffic levels, or hours of operation. The EIR will evaluate the extent to which adopted City development standards would eliminate or minimize potential conflicts between internal and adjacent uses. Noise PBS&J will prepare a revised noise and vibration analysis based on changes to the project description, new traffic analysis, and new ambient conditions in the project area. The noise analysis will address the impacts of the project on background noise levels and the population's exposure to physically or psychologically damaging noise levels. The noise analysis will be based upon approximations of noise levels and associated changes in the ambient noise level that are likely to occur based on implementation of the proposed project. PBS&J will re -measure ambient conditions in the field. PBS&J will use the significance criteria that were used in the previous analysis. PBS&J will document the methods used to analyze noise impacts and will incorporate relevant modeling output into a report appendix to the EIR. Population, Housing, and Employment The project site is large enough to alter the population, employment, and housing characteristics of the City. The Transit Zoning Code (SD 84A and SD 84B) could increase the population of the City and result in a redistribution and/or increase of the population of the county. The proposed project would provide for a mix of residential densities and employment -generating uses, so the EIR will report a jobs/housing ratio for the project itself. The EIR will summarize the employment and housing characteristics of the City, based on existing documentation. Applicable General Plan policies regarding population, housing, and employment opportunities will be described. The potential population increase associated with the project will be estimated based on the number and type of dwelling units proposed and the employment generation will be estimated based on the proposed acreages for commercial, retail, industrial and public uses. The EIR will also quantify the jobs/housing ratio for the City. Finally, the EIR will evaluate the proposed residential densities to determine consistency with the General Plan, including the Housing Element. Public Services Law Enforcement PBS&J will revise the section to include new information regarding law enforcement. PBS&J will contact the Santa Ana Police Department (SAPD) and the California Highway Patrol (if necessary) to verify existing service levels. The SAPD will be contacted to update information on existing and planned service levels, staffing levels, and response times. Using factors developed in consultation with SAPD and City staff, the demand for police services will be quantified and compared to existing and planned service levels.
