City of Santa Ana -Park View at Town and Country Manor Draft EIR Utilities and Service able to supply the proposed project with natural gas from existing gas mains located near the project site (Simonoff, personal communication). Implementation of the proposed project would result in a less than significant impact to natural gas service. Level of Significance Before Mitigation Less than significant. Mitigation Measures No mitigation measures required. Level of Significance After Mitigation Less than significant. Electricity Impact 4.7 -8 The project would not result in a need for new systems or supplies or substantial alterations related to electricity. Impact Analysis Implementation of the proposed project would result in an increased demand for electrical service associated with the proposed land uses. Table 4.7 -6 estimates the annual electricity consumption expected by the proposed project. Table 4.7.6: Estimated Electricity Consumption Obtained from City Place Final EIR, City of Santa Ana, 2005. 2 Represents one -half the consumption rate used for restaurants in the City Place Final EIR, City of Santa Ana, 2005. Only one meal, continental breakfast, will be served in the Park View dining area. Park View residents will have the option of buying dinners in the main dining room of the Town and Country Manor campus, but it is anticipated by the Applicant that this occurrence will be very intermittent. Applying a 50 percent restaurant electricity consumption rate to the proposed project is likely an over - estimation and therefore represents a generous, worst -case estimate. 3 Retail/commercial consumption rate (the closest available rate) obtained from City Place Final EIR, City of Santa Ana, 2005 was utilized here for Park View because electricity consumption rates are not available for recreation - related uses. du = dwelling unit sf = square feet kWh = kilowatt hour yr = year Electrical service will be provided by Southern California Edison (SCE) to meet the requirements of the proposed project. As shown, the project would generate demand for approximately 1.20 million kilowatt hours of electricity annually.
