HARBOR BLVD. MIXED USE TRANSIT CORRIDOR PLAN FINAL FIR <br />CITY OF SANTA ANA <br />5. Environmental Analysis <br />UTILITIES AND SERVICE SYSTEMS <br />Solid Waste Diversion <br />Future land uses developed pursuant to the Harbor Corridor Plan would include storage areas for recyclable <br />materials awaiting solid waste collection. Future land uses would comply with existing regulations requiring <br />diversion of solid waste from landfills, such as regulations regarding household hazardous waste disposal; <br />disposal of special waste materials including tires; and recycling or reuse of construction and demolition <br />debris. Buildout of the Harbor Corridor Plan would conform with compliance by the City of Santa Ana with <br />AB 939, which requires that 50 percent of solid waste be diverted from landfills. <br />Impact 5.14 -5: Existing and /or proposed facilities would be able to accommodate project - generated utility <br />demands. [No specific threshold] <br />Impact Analysis: <br />Electricity <br />As shown below in Table 5.14 -13, forecast electricity demands by buildout of the Harbor Corridor Plan are <br />about 40.8 million kWh /yr, resulting in a net increase of 10.1 million kWh /year. SCE forecasts that it will <br />have adequate electricity supplies to meet project electricity demands, and implementation of the Harbor <br />Corridor Plan would not require SCE to obtain new or expanded electricity supplies. <br />Table 5.14 -13 Estimated Electricity Demands by Specific Plan Buildout <br />Land Use <br />Scenario <br />Amount (DU or BSF) <br />Electricity Demands, kWh ear <br />Per Unit (BSF or DU)' <br />Total <br />Office Park <br />New <br />375,000 <br />15.52 <br />5,820,938 <br />Old <br />- <br />N/A <br />- <br />Subtotal <br />375,000 <br />15.52 <br />5,820,938 <br />General Light Industrial <br />New <br />195,000 <br />8.74 <br />1,704,788 <br />Old <br />- <br />N/A <br />- <br />Subtotal <br />195,000 <br />8.74 <br />1,704,788 <br />Apartments Mid Rise <br />New <br />3,884 <br />3,433 <br />13,335,627 <br />Old <br />739 <br />3,589 <br />2,652,360 <br />Subtotal <br />4,623 <br />3,458 <br />15,987,986 <br />Strip Mall <br />New <br />998,721 <br />11.91 <br />11,889,774 <br />Old <br />399,261 <br />13.44 <br />5,366,068 <br />Subtotal <br />1,397,982 <br />12.34 <br />17,255,841 <br />Total <br />40,769,553 <br />Existin <br />30,697,055 <br />Difference <br />1 10,072,498 <br />Sourm: SCAQMD 2011. <br />Natural Gas <br />As shown in Table 5.1414, buildout of the Harbor Corridor Plan would result in an estimated net increase <br />of about 22.27 million kBTU per year; one kBTU is equivalent to 0.971 cubic foot of natural gas.
