4 NO ENVIRONMENTAL EFFECTS AND LESS THAN SIGNIFICANT <br />ENVIRONMENTAL EFFECTS WITHOUT MITIGATION MEASURES <br />policies for water conservation, such as installing drought -tolerant plants, low-water turf surface, <br />bio-filtration planters, green roofs, drip irrigation, and localized capture and reuse. Therefore, the <br />Project would have sufficient water supplies available to serve the Project and reasonably <br />foreseeable future development during normal, dry and multiple dry years. Impacts would be less <br />than significant. (Draft Supplemental EIR, pp. 4.15-27 — 4.15-30.) <br />Threshold U-3: The Project would result in a determination by the wastewater treatment <br />provider which serves or may serve the project that it has adequate <br />capacity to serve the project's projected demand in addition to the <br />provider's existing commitments. <br />Findings: The City finds that the Project would result in less -than -significant impacts to utilities <br />and service systems related to wastewater treatment. Additionally, the City finds that the Project <br />will implement regulatory requirements RR U-1 through RR U-3 (listed above). (Draft <br />Supplemental EIR, pp. 4.15-30 — 4.15-31.) <br />Explanation of the Rationale: The Project would result in an increase in wastewater flows <br />generated from the Project site. The OC San's Treatment Plant No. 1 serves the General Plan <br />area and has a treatment capacity of 182 million gallons per day (mgd) and a minimum residual <br />treatment capacity of 52 mgd. The Project would result in a 0.27-mgd increase in wastewater <br />flows to Treatment Plant No. 1. Therefore, Treatment Plant No. 1 would have sufficient capacity <br />to treat the 0.27 mgd of wastewater flows generated by the Project in addition to existing <br />commitments. Impacts would be less than significant. (Draft Supplemental <br />EIR, pp. 4.15-30 — 4.15--1.) <br />Threshold U-4: The Project would not generate solid waste in excess of state or local <br />standards, or in excess of the capacity of local infrastructure, or otherwise <br />impair the attainment of solid waste reduction goals. <br />Findings: The City finds that the Project would result in less -than -significant impacts to solid <br />waste related to generation in excess of state or local standards, capacity of the local <br />infrastructure or otherwise impair the attainment of solid waste reduction goals. (Draft <br />Supplemental EIR, pp. 4.15-31 — 4.15-33.) <br />Additionally, the City finds that the Project will implement the following regulatory requirements <br />(Draft Supplemental EIR, p. 4.15-13): <br />RR U-7 (Solid Waste): All development pursuant to the General Plan Update shall comply <br />with Section 4.408 of the 2019 California Green Building Code Standards, which requires <br />new development projects to submit and implement a construction waste management <br />plan in order to reduce the amount of construction waste transported to landfills. <br />RR U-8 (Solid Waste): All development pursuant to the General Plan Update shall store <br />and collect recyclable materials in compliance with Assembly Bill 341. Green waste will <br />be handled in accordance with Assembly Bill 1826. <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 />4-41 <br />
