City of Santa Ana -Park View at Town and Country Manor <br />Draft EIR Alternatives to the <br />Less runoff would be generated under Alternative 1, but existing runoff would not experience an <br />improvement in water quality. Allowing for the benefits to water quality under the proposed project, <br />impacts to hydrology and water quality under the No Project/No Development Alternative are <br />considered to be equivalent to the proposed project. <br />Land Use and Planning <br />Alternative 1 would not require a Zone Change or General Plan Amendment. Existing use of the <br />project site as a parking lot and grassy area would continue. Impacts to land use and planning under <br />the No Project/No Development Alternative are considered to be less than under the proposed project. <br />Land use and planning impacts of the proposed project are already considered less than significant <br />without mitigation, however. In addition, the positive benefits of intensifying uses in this location <br />would not be experienced under Alternative 1 — connecting to the City's North Main development <br />corridor and District Center land use area along Main Street by extending the master planned mixed <br />use area that contains Main Place and City Place further east; and contributing to the revitalization of <br />the northeastern part of the City. (See Section 5.5.1 Impact Analysis, Climate Change sub - section for <br />a comparison of climate change impacts associated with land use under Alternative 1 and the <br />proposed project.) Provision of 174 housing units for the senior population would also not occur <br />under Alternative 1. <br />Noise <br />No increase in noise levels under Alternative 1 would be experienced. Generation of short-term <br />construction noise and vibration would be avoided. Long -term traffic noise associated with traffic <br />from the proposed high - intensity residential development on the project site would not be <br />experienced. There would be no increase in ambient noise levels in the project area. Impacts to noise <br />under the No Project/No Development Alternative are considered to be less than under the proposed <br />project. Noise impacts of the proposed project are already considered less than significant <br />Under the No Project/No Development Alternative, no increase in demand for utilities such as <br />domestic water, wastewater, storm drainage, solid waste, electricity, and natural gas services would <br />be experienced. The water quality improvements associated with project treatment and filtration <br />features would not occur, however. Impacts to utilities and service systems under the No Project/No <br />Development Alternative are considered to be less than under the proposed project. Utilities and <br />service systems impacts of the proposed project are already considered less than significant after <br />mitigation, however. <br />Climate Change <br />Greenhouse gas emissions under Alternative 1 (No Project/No Development) would not increase <br />from the existing condition. Climate change impacts are, therefore, considered less under Alternative <br />1 than for the proposed project. Climate change impacts of the proposed project are already <br />considered less than significant after mitigation, however. <br />Michael Brandman Associates 5-5 <br />H\Cl t(PN -Rn) 327b32]003MMVB2]0030 Sec0 Altematrv.s <br />
