City of Santa Ana <br />Environmental Checklist <br />Regarding California history or prehistory, the project site is vacant, undeveloped, and graded, and <br />does not contain any known historical resources or any documented paleontological resources, and <br />no potentially significant impacts were identified in Section V, "Cultural Resources." Therefore, <br />project impacts to the quality of the environment related to cultural resources is less than <br />significant. <br />b. Does the project have impacts that are individually limited but cumulatively considerable? <br />("Cumulatively considerable" means that the incremental effects of a project are considerable <br />when viewed in connection with the effects of past projects, the effects of other current projects, <br />and the effects of probable future projects.) <br />Less -than- Significant Impact with Mitigation Incorporated. A cumulative impact could occur if <br />the project would result in an incrementally considerable contribution to a significant cumulative <br />impact in consideration of past, present, and reasonably foreseeable future projects for each <br />resource area. The cumulative study area is generally confined to the areas shown on Figure 3 -10, <br />and includes the cumulative projects listed in Table 3 -32, which are located within two miles of the <br />project site. Although for some resources, cumulative impacts are considered over a greater area, <br />and are addressed accordingly, <br />Table 3 -32.

The Wintersburg Presbyterian Church expansion (listed in Table 3 -32) is the only <br />project located within the same viewshed of the project site. Implementation of the proposed <br />project would develop a new charter residential high school within an existing urban residential and <br />mixed use and area. As described in the aesthetics section of this MND, the proposed project will <br />enhance the quality and character of the project site over the existing vacant degraded condition. <br />The proposed charter high school project and church expansion project will reinforce the existing <br />urban and developed character of the viewshed.
