Chapter 3 Findings Regarding Project Alternatives Draft EIR (with the exception of minor design changes to remove the need for condemning private property), its environmental impacts will be identical to those described and analyzed in the Draft EIR. Therefore, no revisions to any of the environmental impact analyses provided in Chapter 3.0 of the Draft EIR, Environmental Analysis, were necessary. The modified Project design would result in the same degree of impacts as stated in the Draft EIR, and all mitigation measures identified in the Draft EIR would continue to apply to the modified Project. There would be no new significant impacts and no increase in the severity or degree of any impacts that were disclosed in the Draft EIR. Therefore, the project modifications do not warrant recirculation of the Draft EIR pursuant to the criteria listed above and set forth in CEQA Guidelines Section 15088.5. As indicated in the responses to public comment letters provided in Section F.3 of the Final EIR, Responses to Comments, no comments were received on the Draft EIR that warrant revision to the analysis of the Project's impacts to the environment. In addition, and in consideration of all comment letters received by the City, no new significant environmental impacts were identified that were not already identified by the Draft EIR. The Final EIR also does not identify any increases in the severity of any environmental impacts that were disclosed in the Draft EIR. The Final EIR does not identify any new environmental impacts or increases in the severity of environmental impacts; therefore, no new mitigation measures are required beyond those that were disclosed in the Draft EIR. In addition, public comment letters on the Draft EIR did not identify any alternatives to the proposed Project that would substantially lessen the significant environmental impacts of the proposed Project, as all feasible alternatives would result in significant and unavoidable short-term Transportation/Traffic impacts at the intersection of West Segerstrom Avenue/South Bristol Street due to the need for construction activities within the intersection. Finally, the City of Santa Ana finds that the Draft EIR was comprehensive and thorough, and was sufficient to provide the public with meaningful opportunities to comment. Based on the foregoing, the City of Santa Ana has determined that recirculation of the Draft EIR is not warranted according to the guidance set forth in Section 15088.5 of the State CEQA Guidelines.
