SANTA ANA CLIMATE ACTION PLAN INITIAL STUDY <br />CITY OF SANTA ANA <br />b) Conflict with any applicable land use plan, policy, or regulation of an agency with jurisdiction <br />over the project (including, but not limited to the general plan, specific plan, local coastal <br />program, or zoning ordinance) adopted for the purpose of avoiding or mitigating an <br />environmental effect? <br />Less than Significant Impact. Implementing the Draft CAP would require some modification of existing <br />Ciq policies, including changes to the Municipal Code, Zoning Code, General Plan, Specific Plans, and <br />Design Guidelines. The Draft CAP includes an energy measure that would require that all non - residential <br />buildings larger than 10,000 square feet to submit their buildings' energy usage to an Energy Star Portfolio <br />Manager every seven years as part of business license renewal (Benchmarking and Retrocommissioning <br />measure). In addition, the Draft CAP includes implementation of a transportation and land use measure <br />related to requiring end of trip facilities, such as bike lockers, showers, and changing rooms, in new office and <br />larger retail buildings, which would require the City to amend its Municipal Code. In order to implement <br />these measures and the remaining transportation and land use measures (e.g., adjusting parking ratios, <br />residential node development near retail and employment nodes, and implementing bike, pedestrian, and <br />transit connectivity design guidelines), the Municipal Code, Zoning Code and other applicable documents <br />would need to amended to reflect new requirements. While the proposed measures could conflict with some <br />existing policies, the Draft CAP is designed to mitigate adverse environmental impacts associated with global <br />climate change. Where conflicts do occur, the proposed Draft CAP measures would generally result in greater <br />avoidance or mitigation of environmental effects. The impact would be less than significant. <br />c) Conflict with any applicable habitat conservation plan or natural community conservation plan? <br />No Impact. As stated in Section 3.4(f), no Habitat Conservation Plan or Natural Communities Conservation <br />Plan applies to the City of Santa Ana. No impact would occur. <br />3.11 MINERAL RESOURCES <br />a) Result in the loss of availability of a known mineral resource that would be a value to the region <br />and the residents of the state? <br />No Impact. There are no known mineral resources within the City of Santa Ana.43•44 Regionally significant <br />resources are found north of the City within the cities of Orange and Anaheim. No impact would occur. <br />b) Result in the loss of availability of a locally important mineral resource recovery site delineated <br />on a local general plan, specific plan or other land use plan? <br />43 City of Santa Ana Planning Division.
