off site construction activities may occur in adjacent street rights-of-way intermittently,which could potentially require partial, temporary lane closures. However, if temporary lane closures are necessary, the remaining travel lanes would remain open in accordance with standard traffic control plans that would be submitted to and reviewed by the City's Public Works Agency Development Engineering staff,which would ensure adequate circulation and emergency access. Upon completion of construction activities, all travel lanes would be restored to pre- existing conditions. Operation of the Project would generate traffic in the Project site vicinity and would result in some modifications to the Project site's access. However, public and private roadways throughout the Project site would be designed to accommodate emergency vehicles for fire, ambulance, and police services. The roadways would not have restricted access such as gates that would prevent emergency vehicles from reaching the intended destinations. Roadway improvements and new roadway construction would be constructed in accordance with the Orange County Fire Authority standards and code requirements. Therefore, the Project would not physically interfere with or impair the implementation of the City's emergency response plan. Impacts would be less than significant. (Draft Supplemental EIR, pp. 4.6-23 —4.6-24.) Threshold H-7: The Project would not expose people or structures, either directly or indirectly,to a significant risk of loss, injury or death involving wildland fires. Findings: The City finds that the Project would result in no impacts to hazards and hazardous materials related to wildland fires. Additionally, the City finds that the Project will implement regulatory requirements RR HAZ-1, RR HAZ-2; RR HAZ-4 through RR HAZ-7 (listed above). (Draft Supplemental EIR, pp. 4.6-24.) Explanation of the Rationale: The Project site is located in an urban, developed area within the City and is surrounded by commercial and multi-family residential uses. No wildlands occur within or near the Project site. No impacts related to risk of wildland fires would occur. (Draft Supplemental EIR, p. 4. 6-24.) Cumulative Impacts: The Project would not result in cumulative impacts concerning hazards and hazardous materials. Findings: The City finds that the Project would result in less than significant cumulative impacts concerning hazards and hazardous materials. Additionally, the City finds that the Project will implement regulatory requirements RR HAZA, RR HAZ-2; RR HAZ-4 through RR HAZ-7 (listed above). (Draft Supplemental EIR, pp. 4.6-25—4.6-26.) Explanation of the Rationale: As with the Project, related projects would require evaluation for potential threats to public safety, including those associated with the use,storage, and/or disposal of hazardous materials and would be required to comply with all applicable local,state,and federal laws, rules and regulations. Because environmental safety issues are largely site-specific, this evaluation would occur on a case-by-case for each individual project affected, in conjunction with development proposals on these properties. The Project would result in less than significant impacts related to hazards and hazardous materials. Therefore, the Project's impacts related to hazards and hazardous materials would not be cumulatively considerable, and cumulative Resolution No. 2025-041 Page 39 of 140
