The Academy Charter High School MND I City of Santa Ana Planning Division ICF Projects Within the Last Five Years ICF brings an extensive project portfolio of preparing environmental documents for a range of development projects that have similar issues to the proposed project. We have selected a few of these local projects to highlight. The Met at South Coast Multi -Family Residential Project ISIMND—City of Santa Ana Under contract with the City, ICF is preparing an IS/MND for The Met at South Coast Multi -Family Residential Project. The project is a podium -style 284-unit multi -family apartment development on a 3.1-acre parcel located at 200 East First American Way in the MacArthur Place District Center. The development includes five stories of multi -family rental units in three buildings, all of which would be constructed over two subterranean levels and one street level of parking. The proposed project requires a Zoning Ordinance Amendment to Specific Development Plan 43 (SD-43) to increase the number of residential units allowed for the site, an amendment to the Development Agreement, approval to modify parking requirements to allow tandem parking, and approval of the site plan. The primary environmental issues involved traffic, air quality, noise, aesthetics, and biological resources. The IS/MND is currently out for public review and comment. It is anticipated to be finalized in January 2012.

Larger CEQA needs ICF met includes preparing an EIR for the proposed West End Lofts (project cancelled) and a six -story infill development in the City's Downtown National Register District.
