4 NO ENVIRONMENTAL EFFECTS AND LESS THAN SIGNIFICANT <br />ENVIRONMENTAL EFFECTS WITHOUT MITIGATION MEASURES <br />The remaining project site is comprised of surface parking. The Project site currently does not <br />have any residential uses and no existing established community exists within the Project site. <br />The Project site is surrounded by commercial and multi -family residential uses, and the Project, <br />which proposes a mixed -use community that would include mixed -use commercial and <br />residential, residential only, and commercial only buildings, would connect the surrounding <br />properties through the proposed pedestrian, bicycle, and vehicular network. Additionally, the <br />Project would not introduce any new roadways that would bisect existing communities or <br />neighborhoods. Therefore, the Project would not physically divide an established community,. <br />Impacts would be less than significant. (Draft Supplemental EIR, pp. 4.8-20 — 4.8-21.) <br />Threshold LU-2: The Project would not cause a significant environmental impact due to a <br />conflict with any land use plan, policy, or regulation adopted for the purpose <br />of avoiding or mitigating an environmental effect. <br />Findings: The City finds that the Project would result in less than significant impacts to land use <br />and planning related to conflict with a land use plan, policy, or regulation. Additionally, the City <br />finds that the Project will implement regulatory requirements RR LU-1 and RR HAZ-7 (listed <br />above). (Draft Supplemental EIR, pp. 4.8-21 — 4.8-52.) <br />Explanation of the Rationale: The Project is consistent with applicable regional and local plans <br />and programs that have been adopted for the purpose of avoiding or mitigating an environmental <br />effect including SCAG's 2020-2045 RTP/SCS, the Airport Environs Land Use Plan for John <br />Wayne Airport (SNA), the City's General Plan, and applicable zoning. Impacts would be less than <br />significant. (Draft Supplemental EIR, pp. 4.8-21 — 4.8-52.) <br />Cumulative Impacts: The Project would not result in cumulative impacts concerning land use <br />and planning. <br />Findings: The City finds that the Project would result in less than significant cumulative impacts <br />concerning land use and planning. Additionally, the City finds that the Project will implement <br />regulatory requirements RR LU-1 and RR HAZ-7 (listed above). (Draft Supplemental EIR, <br />pp. 4.8-52 — 4.8-53.) <br />Explanation of the Rationale: As with the Project, the GPU buildout and each related project <br />would be required to comply with their applicable land use plan and be subject to review by City <br />regulatory agencies and CEQA review. The Project would not physically divide an established <br />community or conflict with applicable land use plans and zoning standards. Therefore, the <br />Project's contribution to cumulative impacts to land use and planning would not be cumulatively <br />considerable. Impacts would be less than significant.
