Chapter 2 CEQA Findings <br />Table 2-1, CEQA Findings, summarizes the significant impacts of the Project that will be reduced to <br />less-than-significant levels with mitigation as well as its significant and unavoidable impacts. <br />The City hereby finds that impacts associated with the issue areas of Hazards/Hazardous Materials, <br />Utilities/Service Systems, and Water Quality/Hydrology are less than significant based on the <br />explanation and analysis included in Draft EIR Chapters 3.2, 3.5 and 3.6, respectively, which it <br />ratifies, adopts and incorporates in these findings. Additionally, within the issues areas of Air <br />Quality, Noise, and Transportation and Traffic, numerous impacts were evaluated and determined to <br />be below the threshold of significance. With respect to those impacts, the City hereby finds that they <br />are less than significant based on the explanation and analysis included in Draft EIR Chapters 3.1, <br />3.3 and 3.4, respectively, which it ratifies, adopts and incorporates in these findings. In addition, the <br />City finds that impacts to the following issue areas would not occur as a result of the Proposed <br />Project: Aesthetics; Agricultural Resources; Biological Resources; Cultural Resources; <br />Geology/Soils; Land Use/Planning; Mineral Resources; Population/Housing; Public Services; <br />Recreation; and Utilities/Service Systems (except for wastewater). This finding is based on the <br />explanation and analysis included in Initial Study prepared for the Project, which the City ratifies, <br />adopts and incorporates in these findings. <br />Additional facts that support the findings are set forth in the Final EIR, the staff report to the City <br />Council, and the record of proceedings. Key discussions that support the Findings from the Final <br />EIR are summarized in the "Evidence/Rationale Supporting Finding" column of Table 2-1. However, <br />other evidence may be contained in the overall record of the project to further support the finding. In <br />making these findings, the City ratifies, adopts and incorporates the analysis and explanation in the <br />Final EIR, and ratifies, adopts and incorporates in these findings the determinations and conclusions <br />of the Final EIR relating to the environmental impacts and mitigation measures, except to the extent <br />any such determinations or conclusions are specifically and expressly modified by these findings. <br />The documents and other materials that constitute the record of proceedings on which the Project <br />findings are based are located at the City of Santa Ana Public Works Agency, 200 South Daisy <br />Avenue, Corporate Yard, MS 85, Santa Ana, California, 92703.
