City of Santa Ana -Park View at Town and Country Manor <br />Draft EIR Other CEQA Considerations <br />SECTION 6: OTHER�ONSIDERATIONS <br />6.1 - Sianificant Unavoidable Imoacts <br />Potential environmental effects of the proposed project and proposed mitigation measures are <br />discussed in detail in Section 4 of this Draft EIR. All eight environmental issues analyzed in the <br />Draft EIR, listed below, were determined to be less than significant, or could be reduced to less than <br />significant levels with mitigation measures: <br />• Aesthetics <br />• Air Quality <br />• Hydrology and Water Quality <br />• Land Use and Planning <br />• Noise <br />• Transportation and Traffic <br />• Utilities and Service Systems <br />• Climate Change <br />No significant and unavoidable impacts would occur after mitigation from proposed project <br />implementation. All potential impacts can be mitigated to a less than significant level. <br />6.2 - Sianificant Irreversible Chanaes <br />As mandated by the CEQA Guidelines, the EIR must address any significant irreversible <br />environmental change that would result from implementation of the proposed project. Per the CEQA <br />Guidelines (§ 15126.2(c)), such a change would occur if one of the following scenarios is involved: <br />• The project would involve a large commitment of nonrenewable resources; <br />• Irreversible damage can result from environmental accidents associated with the project; and <br />• The proposed consumption of resources is not justified (e.g., the project results in the wasteful <br />use of energy.) <br />The environmental effects of the proposed project are discussed in Section 4 of this Draft EIR and <br />summarized in Section 2, Executive Summary. Implementation of the project would require the long- <br />term commitment of natural resources and land, as discussed in the following paragraphs. <br />Approval and implementation of actions related to the proposed project would result in an <br />irretrievable commitment of non - renewable resources such as energy supplies and other construction <br />related materials. The energy resource demands would be used for construction, heating and cooling <br />of buildings, transportation of people and goods, heating and refrigeration, lighting, and other <br />associated energy needs. <br />Environmental changes with implementation of the proposed project would occur as the physical <br />environment is altered through continued commitments of land and construction materials to urban <br />development. There would be an irretrievable commitment of labor, capital, and materials used in <br />Michael Brandman Associates 6-1 <br />H\Cl t(PN- JMb327b32]003MMVB2]0030 Sec0 oNa CEQA dac <br />
