Bat Nha Buddhist Meditation Center MND I City of Santa Ana Planning Division The significance of noise impacts resulting from the proposed project will be assessed based on relevant thresholds (city, state and federal). If significant noise impacts are identified, mitigation measures to reduce impacts to a less-than-significant level (where feasible) will be recommended. The results of the noise analysis will be provided in the noise section of the ISIMND. Any technical data or modeling will be provided in an appendix. Cultural Resource Evaluation ICF recommends that a records and locality database search be conducted to evaluate the potential for archeological and paleontological resources to be found on the project site. This evaluation will: ® Conduct a literature and records search at the South Central Coastal Archaeological Information Center of the California Historical Resources Information System at California State University, Fullerton, to determine if any prehistoric or historical cultural resources have been recorded within project area. • Review published geologic and paleontological literature and museum databases, including the Los Angeles County Museum of Natural History database. ® In coordination with the City, ICF will contact with the Native American Heritage Commission and local Native Americans regarding the project. Because the project area is completely developed, an archaeological field survey will not be conducted. The findings of the cultural and paleontological resource investigations will be used to provide an assessment of the sensitivity of the project area for prehistoric archaeological and paleontological resources. The findings of this research will be summarized in the Cultural Resource section of the ISIMND. The MND will also provide mitigation measures, if necessary. Historic Resource Evaluation iCF will conduct a historic analysis to evaluate potential impacts of the proposed project in accordance with CEQA requirements. The project would demolish two single-family homes and several ancillary buildings on the project site. The buildings on the 803 South Sullivan Street parcel appear to date from the early 1960s. However, the building on the northern parcel (719 South Sullivan Street) was built in 1927 and is a Craftsman style home that retains integrity and meets the 50 year old age criteria for potentially historic resources. To identify any historical resources related to the 1927 building located on the 719 South Sullivan Street parcel an ICF qualified architectural historian will conduct a field visit and research City data sources that might yield historic data regarding the project site. This analysis will determine if the site contains potentially historical resources per CEQA Guidelines Section 15064.5, which evaluate the building in relation to any significant contribution to important historic events, persons, or architecture. The historic findings will be summarized in the Cultural Resource section of the ISIMND. Because the project site Is not anticipated to contain historic resources (per section 15064.5), this scope of work does not include preparation of DPR 523 forms, or further technical analysis beyond preparation of the MND section. Traffic Impact Analysis (TIA) As a subconsultant to ICF, Fehr & Peers will prepare a project-specific TIA to evaluate the traffic related impacts of the proposed project. The TIA will be summarized In the traffic section of the ISIMND and Included as an appendix. The following tasks are proposed to be completed as part of the TIA; however, as described below, these tasks will be refined In coordination with the City Traffic Engineering Division upon receipt of additional project operational information. ¦ Confirm Traffic Analysis Scope. Fehr & Peers will meet with the City's traffic engineering team of to review and approve our approach to preparing the traffic study. Specific items that would be addressed in this scoping memorandum include: Page 11
