4 NO ENVIRONMENTAL EFFECTS AND LESS THAN SIGNIFICANT <br />ENVIRONMENTAL EFFECTS WITHOUT MITIGATION MEASURES <br />Street Focus Area with a mix of residential and commercial uses that would provide approximately <br />1,583 residential units. Consistent with the GPU, implementation of the Project would provide <br />additional housing opportunities. Therefore, no people or housing would be displaced, and no <br />impacts would occur. (Draft Supplemental EIR, pp. 4.10-12 — 4.10-13.) <br />Cumulative Impacts: The Project would not result in cumulative impacts concerning population <br />and housing. <br />Findings: The City finds that the Project would result in less than significant cumulative impacts <br />concerning population and housing. (Draft Supplemental EIR, pp. 4.10-13 — 4.10-17.) <br />Explanation of the Rationale: Cumulative development located in the City of Santa Ana propose <br />various uses, including, but not limited to, apartments, single-family residences, offices, <br />commercial/retail uses, restaurants, hotels, warehouses, industrial uses, and gas station and car <br />wash uses. The Project with the related projects would account for 16.7 percent of the projected <br />housing growth (5.2 percent of the GPU buildout), 14.6 percent of the projected population growth <br />(3.3 percent of the GPU buildout), and 12.9 percent of the projected employment growth (0.9 <br />percent of the GPU buildout) for the City. With respect to the OCCOG 2045 projections, the project <br />in combination with related projects would contribute to approximately 7.2 percent of the housing <br />and 3.9 percent of the population in Santa Ana. As previously described, the addition of housing <br />within the Project area would help to balance the jobs -housing ratio within the City, providing a <br />more equal distribution of employment and housing for the City and thereby reducing commute <br />trips and improving air quality. On a citywide scale, the GPU buildout and related projects within <br />the City of Santa Ana are within the CPU's vision and forecasted development buildout of <br />accommodating growth in a responsible manner by providing a balance of jobs and housing. <br />Therefore, the Project's contribution to cumulative impacts associated with population and <br />housing would not be cumulatively considerable. Impacts would be less than significant. (Draft <br />Supplemental EIR, pp. 4.10-12 — 4.10-17.) <br />4.15 PUBLIC SERVICES <br />Threshold FP-1: The Project would not result in unplanned population growth or substantial <br />adverse physical impacts associated with the provision of new or physically <br />altered fire protection facilities, the construction of which could cause <br />significant environmental impacts, in order to maintain acceptable service <br />ratios and response times or other performance objectives for fire <br />protection services. <br />Findings: The City finds that the Project would result in less -than -significant impacts to public <br />services related to fire protection services. (Draft Supplemental EIR, pp. 4.11-14 — 4.11-15.) <br />Additionally, the City finds that the Project will implement the following regulatory requirement <br />(Draft Supplemental EIR, p. 4.11-3): <br />RR FP-1: New buildings are required to meet the fire regulations outlined in the California <br />Health and Safety Code (Sections 13000 et seq.). <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 />4-30 <br />
