<br /> On-Call Services for the City of Santa Ana Planning Division
<br /> Scope of Work: CEQA Compliance Services, EIR
<br /> Started: 2020 J End Date: 2029
<br /> Description of Services: EPD has provided the City of Santa Ana with expert environmental services to
<br /> support a number of City projects. For example, EPD prepared an EIR for the Bowery Mixed-Use Project,
<br /> which proposed to redevelop a 14.58-acre infill,urban site with multi-family residential consisting of 1,150
<br /> units in three multistory buildings with adjacent parking structures, 80,000 sq. ft. of retail and restaurant
<br /> commercial space, and approximately 183,000 sq. ft. of open space in courtyards, common area
<br /> amenities, a roof deck, and perimeter plazas. The Project required a General Plan amendment and a
<br /> zoning amendment and was highly controversial. EPD facilitated extensive inter-agency coordination and
<br /> communication with City departments, the City of Tustin, ALUC, and other responsible agencies and
<br /> stakeholders. EPD also peer reviewed Applicant-prepared technical studies and provided CEQA
<br /> compliance services for the Related Bristol Specific Plan, which involved the development of 3,750
<br /> residential units, 350,000 sq, ft. of commercial space, 250 hotel rooms, and 200 senior care units on a 41-
<br /> acre site. EPD's CEQA approach for the Specific Plan involved preparation of a Supplemental Program EIR
<br /> to the Final Recirculated Draft Environmental Impact Report for the Santa Ana General Plan Update (GPU
<br /> EIR), which was certified by the City Council in April 2022. EPD coordinated the ALUC submittal for the
<br /> project, attended the ALUC hearing on behalf of the City of Santa Ana, and assisted the City in preparing
<br /> the City Council overrule of the ALUC finding of inconsistency.
