Even o, t is not <br />always feasible to protect cultural rcsouf es, particularl y when preser%r tion in <br />place would frustrate implementation of projects. For this reason, the cumulative <br />effects of development in the Grange Count region arc considered significant. <br />However, because it is currentl y infeasible t o deterrmine whethet future <br />de- velopment under the proposed Transit Zoning Code would result in demolition <br />or rcmo -val of historical resources Nvithin the project boundaries, the project's <br />incremental contribution to these cumulative effects xv uld be cumulatively <br />considerable i.e., the projeuvrould contribute to the loss of historical resources <br />in Orange County). <br />Noise <br />Impact 4. --f operation of the Southern California Regional Dail Authority's SCE rail line <br />gold potentially expose noise -- sensitive land uses located - Within the Transit <br />Zorling Code SD f 4 area to noise levels that exceed the standards cstablished b y <br />the Cite of Santa Ana General Flan, <br />Inipact 4.8-9 Construction activities associated - \vith the proposed project would generate or <br />expose persons or structures to e ivr ground borne vibration. <br />C rnialativc Construction of individual projects pursuant to the rIIransit Zoning Code - \would <br />produce temporary vibration impacts. As discussed in Impact 4.8-9, the <br />construction vibration impact would be significant and unavoidable. As individual <br />development projects ender the Transit Zorn ng Code S 4 area may be <br />constructed concurrently with each other or other related projects, it is possible <br />that intense construction from w7o or more projects would simultaneously occur <br />at distances of o feet or less from e� fisting nearb y receptors. Therefore, v'bration <br />ftom future development would potentially combine N tli construction vibration <br />of other projects to result in a potentially significant cumulati-ve impact. <br />Cumulative The proposed project is located within close proxituit y to the Southern California <br />Regional Rail Authority's SCIR rail line.
