City of Santa Ana Proposal for the Bender Ready -Mix Concrete Manufacturing Project Initial Study and Mitigated Negative Declaration HydrologV and Water Quality. The potential for the project to degrade water quality, interfere with groundwater recharge or expose people to water related hazards will be identified. Potential for the proposed project to violate water quality standards or waste discharge requirements will be analyzed. The focused drainage/water quality review, referenced in Task 3.3 will be incorporated. Land Use and Relevant Planning. RBF will analyze the relationship of the proposed project and associated entitlements to all applicable planning policies and ordinances. Applicable City policy documents are anticipated to include the City's General Plan and Development Codes. A comprehensive evaluation of uses will be conducted. The intensification of uses on -site, impacts to nearby residences and other uses will be included in the analysis.
