4 NO ENVIRONMENTAL EFFECTS AND LESS THAN SIGNIFICANT <br />ENVIRONMENTAL EFFECTS WITHOUT MITIGATION MEASURES <br />WQMP (for development and redevelopment projects), and BMPs to eliminate or reduce the <br />discharge of pollutants in stormwater discharges, reduce runoff, reduce erosion and <br />sedimentation, and increase filtration and infiltration. The NPDES permit requirements have been <br />set by the SWRCB and implemented by the RWQCB and the Orange County DAMP to reduce <br />incremental effects of individual projects so that they would not result in significant <br />cumulative impacts. <br />Additionally, the projected water demand from the GPU at buildout, which includes the Project, is <br />well within the projected total water demand for 2040 in the 2015 Urban Water Management Plan <br />for normal, dry year, and multiple dry year scenarios. Additionally, as the other related projects in <br />the cities of Irvine and Costa Mesa are within the OC Basin, it is assumed that the projected total <br />water demand for 2040 in the 2015 Urban Water Management Plan for normal, dry year, and <br />multiple dry year scenarios would be sufficient for the related projects. Further, mandatory <br />compliance with each city's Municipal Code would ensure that buildout of the GPU, the related <br />projects, and the Project would result in less than significant cumulative impacts related to <br />flood hazards. <br />Therefore, the Project's contribution to cumulative impacts related to hydrology and water quality <br />would not be cumulatively considerable. Impacts would be less than significant. (Draft <br />Supplemental EIR, pp. 4.7-23 — 4.7-25.) <br />4.11 LAND USE AND PLANNING <br />Threshold LU-1: The Proiect would not physically divide an established communitv. <br />Findings: The City finds that the Project would result in less than significant impacts to land use <br />and planning related to physically dividing an established community. (Draft Supplemental EIR, <br />pp. 4.8-20 — 4.8-21.) <br />Additionally, the City finds that the Project will implement the following regulatory requirement <br />(Draft Supplemental EIR, pp. 4.8-8 — 4.8-9): <br />RR LU-1: Development associated with the General Plan Update would be designed and <br />constructed in accordance with the applicable provisions of Chapter 41 (Zoning) of the <br />City of Santa Ana Municipal Code. Development within specific plan areas, overlay areas, <br />and specific development districts would implement zoning and development standards <br />that are applicable within these subareas in addition to those in the underlying zoning <br />district. <br />RR HAZ-7: Development will be designed and constructed in accordance with the airport <br />environs land use plan (AELUP) for John Wayne Airport. Building height restrictions, as <br />specified in the AELUP, would apply in the city <br />Explanation of the Rationale: The Project implements land uses and activities that were <br />envisioned and analyzed in the GPU PEIR. The Project site is currently developed with 164,049 <br />square feet of commercial uses, which comprises approximately 22 percent of the 17.2-acre site. <br />City of Santa Ana The Village Santa Ana Specific Plan Project <br />August 2025 CEQA Findings of Fact and Statement of Overriding Considerations <br />4-25 <br />
