City of Santa Ana Introduction Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Program The California Public Resources Code, Section 21081.6(a)(1), requires that a lead or responsible agency adopt a mitigation monitoring plan when approving or carrying out a project when an IS /MND identifies measures to reduce potential adverse environmental impacts. As lead agency for the proposed project, the City is responsible for adoption and implementation of the mitigation monitoring plan. An IS /MND for the project has been prepared to address the potential environmental impacts and, where appropriate, recommend measures to mitigate these impacts. As such, a mitigation monitoring plan is required to ensure that the adopted mitigation measures are successfully implemented. This plan lists each mitigation measure, describes the methods for implementation and verification, and identifies the responsible party or parties. Project Overview The proposed project consists of development and operation of a residential private charter high school on an approximately 7.2 -acre project site located at 1901 -1919 North Fairview Street in the northwestern portion of the City of Santa Ana. Orangewood Children's Foundation is proposing to construct and operate a new charter high school on the former Santa Ana Hospital Medical Center site in the City of Santa Ana. The project will consist of two new education buildings, one administrative /library building, and a gymnasium to accommodate 450 students. Ancillary to the school, the applicant is also proposing three residential buildings and one administrative /support building to accommodate 80 students that would reside onsite. The proposed project requires a CUP to allow a school, a variance to deviate from building and garden wall height limit requirements, a lot merger, and a variance to reduce the amount of required parking spaces. Additional details may be found in the Initial Study /Mitigated Negative Declaration for the project (June 2012). Monitoring and Reporting Procedures The mitigation monitoring plan for the proposed project will be in place through all phases of the project, including design, construction, and operation. The City will be responsible for administering the mitigation monitoring plan and ensuring that all parties comply with its provisions. The City may delegate monitoring activities to staff, consultants, or contractors. The City will also ensure that monitoring is documented through periodic reports and that deficiencies are promptly corrected. The designated environmental monitor will track and document compliance with mitigation measures, note any problems that may result, and take appropriate action to rectify problems.
