of Santa Ana, a municipal corporation of the State of California
'("City") and Santa Fe Pacific Realty Corporation, a Delaware
corporation ("SFPRC"), successor by merger of Santa Fe Land
Improvement Company.
W-I-T-N-E-S-S-E-T-H
Recitals:
A.
The City, by its Ordinance No. NS-]795, dated
September 17, 1985, approved and entered into a Development
Agreement, dated October 17, 1985, with Santa Fe Land Improve-
me nt Company, (the "Development Agreement") pertaining to the
use and development of certain real property in the City of
Santa Ana, commonly referred to as the PacifiCenter site.
B. SFPRC is the successor by merger of Santa Fe Land
Improvement Company.
C. The ordinance of the City which approves this
Amendment also approves a change in the zoning district
classification of a portion of the PacifiCenter site, which
portion is specifically identified in Exhibit A of said
ordinance, to the SD (Specific Development) district, and
also approves Specific Development Plan No. 56 for said
portion of the PacifiCenter site, set forth in Exhibit B of

portion of the PacifiCenter site to be developed and used as
a sports and entertainment arena, as an alternative to the
other uses permitted for such portion of the PacifiCenter
site under the DeQelopment Agreement. Nothing herein shall

Land Use
A®
Effect: Implementation of the Santa Ana Arena will
require .a General Plan Amendment, Zone Change and
Development Agreement Amendment.
Mitigation: Prior to project implementation the City of
Santa Ana shall approve a General Plan Amendment, Zone
Change and Development Agreement Amendment for the Santa
Ana Arena.
Findings: The mitigation measures described above will
reduce project impacts related to land use to a level of
insignificance.
II. Transportation/Circulation/Parking
Ae
Effeots: Intersections and freeway off-ramps identified
in the EIR will temporarily (one hour before and one
hour after event) operate at unsatisfactory levels as a
result of project implementation. Without assurance of
adequate on-site parking within PacifiCenter, daytime
events will result in spillover parking demands on
surrounding industrial areas after PacifiCenter is built
out.
A detailed traffic control and operations plan shall be
developed, implemented and fine-tuned over time, by the
arena management association, to accommodate peak
traffic flows associated with major spectator-type
events at the arena.
An arena management association will establish a plan
for traffic circulation, crowd control and event-related
clean up.
Special right-turn and dual left-turn lanes shall be
constructed on Edinger at Lyon, on Lyon and at Edinger
at the arena entrance.

A 3:30 PM ending time for weekday matinee departures
shall be enforced by the developer and/or arena
management association.
The arena developer shall participate in area-wide
permanent engineering improvements.
Bus parking shall be close to the arena to encourage use
of buses as an arrived mode.
The parking component of the event management plan shall
be implemented to provide coordination between arena
management and privately owned lots.
On-street parking shall be prohibited with "no parking"
signs.
Entrepreneurial parking should be encouraged south of
Edinger and west of Ritchey.
A set of special event programs shall be incorporated to
expedite arrivals and departures.
A formula shall be developed to assure sufficient
parking within PacifiCenter to accommodate demand from
scheduled events; such parking within PacifiCenter shall
be made available from either shared or reserved surface
or structural parking.
Arena oPerators/management shall submit an annual report
to the City on available PacifiCenter surface parking.
PacifiCenter parking shall be utilized to the greatest
extent possible.
Event management team shall be responsible for arena
related parking and traffic routing.
A comprehensive approach to route signing program shall
be implemented.
Mitigation: Three categories of mitigation measures are
identified in the EIR; they are event management for
traffic, and physical infrastructure improvements, and
event management for parking/circulation.
Finding: With implementation of traffic control
measures and infrastructure improvements, traffic -
related impacts will not be mitigated to a level of
insignificance. With implementation of event management
for parking/circulation, expected impacts will be
insignificant.
-2-
III. Air Quality
Effects: Emissions generated by construction equipment
are very minor when compared with the total emissions
released in Orange County and are not significant.
since the emissions projected for the project are such a
small fraction of regional and area emissions, there
will be no significant regional or receptor air quality
impacts. Vehicle related emissions due to the project
are not expected to exceed 1-hour or 8-hour standards.
Mitigation: Specific measures contained in the AQMP for
the basin will be incorporated into the proposed
project.
C®
Finding: The mitigation measure referenced above will
reduce project-related impacts associated with vehicle
emissions to a level of insignificance.
GEOLOGY AND SOILS
Effects: Site soils have high potential for
compressibility, collapsibility and expansion. Project
implementation will involve excavations up to 20 feet below
grade. Several known active faults in the southern
California area are capable of producing ground shaking on
the project site.
Mitigations Subsurface exploration sampling and testing
shall be conducted. Densification techniques shall be
performed on site soils and constant moisture content
maintained. Soils shall be over excavated and recompacted.
Chapter 23 of the Uniform Building Code shall be adhered to.
Finding: The mitigation measures described
completely mitigate impacts related to
instability; project-related excavations; and,
instability due to ground shaking.

VI. MYDROLOGY AND DRAINAGE
Effects: Increased erosion and sediment transport in
surface waters due to construction. Increase in urban
pollutants in runoff from vehicular activity. Increased
site runoff. Subterranean structures coul~ intercept
groundwater.
Mitigation: Conformance with surface runoff pollution and
sediment control features established by SCAG, Regional
Water Quality Control Board and policies of the City of
Santa Ana.

fire service to the site will completely mitigate both
short-term and long-term impacts associated with fire
service to the site.
Polica/Security~ The mitigation measures described above
for police and security service to the proposed facility
will completely mitigate police/security related impacts.
Emergency Medical: Mitigation measures described above,
which are related to emergency medical services to the site
will completely mitigate impacts related to these City
services by requiring the project applicant to provide these
services.
Sewer: Mitigation measures described above, which, are
related to sewer service to the site will completely
mitigate impacts related to this service by requiring the
developer to fund and provide all necessary improvements.
VI~. AESTHETICS
Effect: Possible obstruction of views of Saddleback
Mountains from adjacent vantage points to the west. High
building visibility from surrounding vantage points due to
building scale. New source of light and glare. Aesthetic
enhancement to the project area with visually attractive
buildings of high quality design in conformance with City
goals and policies.
Mitigation: Building design should incorporate view
corridors where feasible. Provision of landscape buffers
along street setbacks shall be made. Exterior lighting
shall be shielded or concealed. Landscaped buffers shall be
used to reduce light and glare.
Findings: The mitigation measures discussed above will
reduce project-related impacts completely by incorporating
view corridors and reducing exterior lighting and
introducing landscaped buffers where feasible. ~ Building
design will be an aesthetic enhancement to the project area.
IX. RISK OF UPSET

Santa Ana Police and Fire Departments and adequate
provision of on-site medical and security staff shall be
made in accordance with all Federal, State and local
ordinances.

reduce project impacts related to risk of upset to a
level of insignificance.
STATEHENT OF OVERRIDING CONSIDERATION
Despite the incorporation of mitigation measures into the design
and approval of the project, certain environmental impacts will
remain that can not be fully mitigated to a level of
insignificance. The City of Santa Ana finds that these adverse
impacts are outweighed by the benefits of the project.
Specifically, the anticipated project-related traffic impacts,
which are expected one hour prior to and following arena events,
are outweighed by the anticipated positive effects from project
implementation listed as follows:
o Promotion of positive regional and natural exposure for the
City of Santa Ana.
o Enhancement of community and civic pride.
o Creation of employment through project construction and
operation, and indirect economic activity (e.g. other business
expansion).
o
o
Encouragement of retail demand and sales through combined on-
site and spin-off retail sales.
Visual enhancement of the project area with a high-quality
events center.
