available for the construction of youth centers to non-profit
organizations. Delhi Center applied for the grant and was successful in
securing $2,250,000. The California Youth Authority Grant requires the
grant recipient to own the building and own or retain a long-term lease
on the property. Based on this requirement, staff is requesting a land
lease agreement with Delhi Center be approved by City Council. Since the
California Youth Authority Grant requires Delhi Center to operate the
facility for 20 years, the property will be leased to Delhi Center for 20
years, with two options for extension (20 year and 10 year). Upon
execution of the land lease Delhi Center will be able to complete the
California Youth Authority Grant application. Completion of the
application and grant agreement will enable Delhi Center to request a 25%
advance of grant funds to begin construction.
Since Delhi Center will own, operate and maintain the new community
center, a revised development/operational agreement will be prepared for
City Council approval. The revised agreement will identify ownership,
operation, furnishing and maintenance responsibilities of the community
center and park site. The City will also lease office space from Delhi
Center for City staff to provide recreational programs in the park, in
addition to having use of the 300 seat multi-purpose room, five times per
year for City functions, at no additional cost. City will be responsible
for all maintenance and programming of the park site.
ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT
In accordance with the California Environmental Quality Act, Mitigated
Negative Declaration ER No. 00-05 has been prepared for this project.

VI. Environmental Determination
On the basis of this initial evaluation, I find that:
A. 0 The proposed project COULD NOT have a significant effect on the environment and a NEGATIVE
DECLARATION will be prepared.
as [?(" Although the proposed project could have a significant effect on the environment, there will not be a significant
~effect in this case because revisions to the project have been made by or agreed to by the applicant. A
MITIGATED NEGATIVE DECLARATION will be prepared.
c. 0 The proposed project MAY have a significant effect on the environment and an ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT
REPORT is required.
D. 0 Although the proposed project could have a significant effect on the environment, because all potentially
significant effects (a) have been analyzed adequately in an earlier EIR (EIR No. - ) pursuant to applicable
standards and (b) have been avoided or mitigated pursuant to that earlier EIR, including revisions or mitigation
measures that are imposed upon the project, nothing further is required.
E. D Pursuant to Section 15164 of the CEQA Guidelines, an EIR (EIR No. - ) has been prepared earlier and only
minor technical changes or additions are necessary to make the previous EIR adequate and these changes do
not raise important new issues about the significant effects on the environment. An ADDENDUM to the EIR
shall be prepared.
F. D Pursuant to Section 15162 of the CEQA Guidelines, an EIR (EIR No. - ) has been prepared earlier; however,
subsequent proposed changes in the project and/or new information of substantial importance will cause one
or more significant effec previously discussed. A SUBSEQUENT EIR shall be prepared.

Environmental Checklist
For CEQA Compliance
Evaluation of Environmental Impacts:
I. A brief explanation is required for all answers except "No Impact" answers that are adequately supported
by the information sources a lead agency cites in the parentheses following each question. A "No Impact"
answer is adequately supported if the referenced information sources show that the impact simply does
not apply to projects like the one involved (e.g., the project falls outside a fault rupture zone). A "No
Impact" answer should be explained where it is based on project-specific factors as well as general
standards (e.g., the project will not expose sensitive receptors to pollutants, based on a project-specific
screening analysis).
II. All answers must take account of the whole action involved, including off-site as well as on-site,
cumulative as well as project-level, indirect as well as direct, and construction as well as operational
impacts.
III. "Potentially Significant Impact" is appropriate if there is substantial evidence that an effect is significant. If
there are one or more "Potentially Significant Impact" entries when the determination is made, an EIR is
required.
IV. "Potentially Significant Unless Mitigation Incorporated" applies where the incorporation of mitigation
measures has reduced an effect from "Potentially Significant Impact" to a "Less than Significant Impact".
The lead agency must describe the mitigation measures, and briefly explain how they reduce the effect to
a less than significant level.

PROJECT TITLE
Delhi Park Community Center
EXISTING SETTING
The proposed project site consists of the 2.92-acre existing
Delhi Park and the 7.5-acre site of the former City Yard
facility. The project site is located in the northeastern
portion of the City. As shown on Exhibit 1, the project site is
generally bounded, by a National Guard Armory to the west,
Monroe Elementary School to the southwest, Lady of Guadalupe
Church to the southeast and single family residential uses to
the north, south and east. Presently, the City's General Plan
designates the project site uOpen Space".
Presently, Delhi Park is an improved park site with a baseball
field, handball courts, basketball courts and play equipment.
Project area residents utilize Delhi Park quite extensively and
there is need to expand recreational opportunities within the
Delhi Park area. The former City Yard site is located
immediately west of Delhi Park. The site is currently vacant
and void of any structures. However, some debris does remain on
the site. An existing fence is located along the perimeter of
the City Yard site to prevent the public from entering the site.
PROJECT DESCRIPTION
The ultimate build out of Delhi Park would integrate the
existing City Yard site into the existing Delhi Park site. The
proposed park facility would be referred to as the Delhi Park
Community Center. The proposed entrances to the Delhi Park
Community Center would be from Halladay Street and Central
Avenue. A combination of landscape turf and shrubs would be
provided along the proposed entrances to soften views of the
parking areas.
The proposed Delhi Park Community Center would consist of
approximately 10.5 -acres of passive and active recreational
uses and cultural facilities. At this time, a concept plan for
the project has been prepared to establish a development
envelope for environmental documentation purposes. The specific
location of improvements and facilities would be determined
prior to final design of the project. Presently, the concept
plan includes a 26,500 square foot recreational/community center
building that would provide a variety of multi-purpose
activities. Additionally, a new soccer field would be provided

in the expanded park area. The proposed soccer field would be
near Warner Avenue. Surrounding the community center and the
soccer field would be open play areas. A new walkway would be
provided from Warner Avenue providing access through the park to
the proposed community center.
The proposed project would increase the amount of open space and
recreational opportunities provided in the Delhi Park area. The
close proximity of the Monroe School site and the existing Lady
of Guadalupe Church would expand the recreational and cultural
value of the proposed Delhi Park Community Center.
ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT ANALYSIS
The following is an environmental analysis on the proposed Delhi
Park Community Center. The environmental analysis is based on
the City of Santa Ana's CEQA Environmental Checklist. For each
environmental issue the analysis identifies the level of impact
that is anticipated to occur. Where needed, mitigation measures
have been identified to reduce potential impacts to a level that
is considered below significant.
I . AESTHETICS
(A.B) No Impact
The proposed project site is located within an urbanized area of
the City. The project site consists of existing park site and a
vacant city yard facility. The City's General Plan indicates
that no scenic or historic resources are located on the project
site. Therefore, implementation of the proposed project would
not result in adverse impacts to any onsite scenic or historic
resource.
(C) No Impact
The project site is surrounded by residential uses to the north,
the south and the east. The existing park site provides open
space relief to residents in the area. The vacant city yard is
in a disturbed condition that currently provides little
aesthetic value. Presently, a chain link fence is located along
the eastern and southern boundaries of the project site.
However, existing residential uses in the area and motorist
along Warner Avenue are currently impacted by existing views of
the disturbed City Yard facility. The proposed project would
convert the City Yard site into a park/community center that
would function as an extension of the existing Delhi Park. A
Page 83
25.H.
e
.
considerable of open space and landscaping would be provided to
increase the aesthetic appearance of the site. Along the
perimeter of the project site, a combination of landscape turf
and shrubs would be planted to provide a transition from urban
uses to open space. Implementation of the proposed project would
enhance the overall appearance of the project site. No adverse
aesthetic impacts would be associated with the proposed project.
(D) Less Than Significant Impact
Presently, the baseball field area of Delhi Park is provided
with lighting. The proposed project would retain the existing
lighting. However, no substantial new sources of lighting would
be provided. Some additional incidental lighting would be
provided along the new parking areas. However, the lighting
would be designed and located so that all direct rays are
confined to the property and away from adjacent residential
uses. Implementation of the proposed project would not result in
significant light and glare impacts.
II. AGRICULTURE
(A.B.C) No Impact
Based on the City's General Plan EIR, the proposed project site
and the surrounding area are not planned for agricultural uses.
Based on a site visit conducted by the City's Environmental
Coordinator, the proposed project site is currently not in
agricultural production. Implementation of the proposed project
would not result in the loss of any prime or unique farmland.
III. AIR QUALITY
(A) No Impact
The proposed project site is located within the South Coast Air
Basin and subject to the requirements of the Clear Air Act at
both the Federal and State level, as implemented by the South
Coast Air Quality Management District. The South Coast Air
Quality Management Plan (AQMP) is the primary planning document
to monitor if air quality standards and objectives are being
achieved in the air basin. The air quality objectives in the
AQMP are based upon population and growth projections provided
in a City's General Plan. A project could be in conflict with
the AQMP if it results in population and growth impacts beyond
those identified in a City's General Plan. The proposed project
site is identified as open space in the City's General Plan. The
25.H.
Page 84
e
e
proposed project is consistent with the General Plan and
therefore, is not in conflict with the population and growth
projections established in the AQMP.
(B) Less Than Significant Impact
The proposed project involves the improvement and expansion of a
park site. The project would include a 26,500 sq. ft,
recreation/community center and other associated park
improvements. A minimum amount of stationary-source air
pollutant emissions would be associated with the operation of
the proposed project. Implementation of the project would not
violate any stationary-source air quality standards.
(C) Less Than Significant with Mitigation
The South Coast Air Basin is currently a non-attainment area for
carbon monoxide, ozone and particulate matter. Both mobile
source emissions and construction operations are primarily
sources that generate carbon monoxide, ozone and particulate
matter.
The former City yard facility generated a considerable amount of
traffic and mobile source emissions. Compared to the city yard
facility, the proposed project would generate less traffic and
lower amounts of mobile source emissions. Implementation of the
proposed project would not result in any significant long-term
operational air quality impacts, nor would it significantly
result in any cumulative net increase of any pollutants that
have non-attainment status.
Short-term air quality impacts would be generated from clearing
and earthwork activities and construction equipment associated
with implementation of the proposed project. Construction
activities associated with the proposed project could
potentially contribute to significant short-term air quality
impacts. To reduce potential short-term air quality impacts to
a level that is considered less than significant, grading plans
for the project shall include the following measures to reduce
construction-related emissions to the maximum extent feasible in
compliance with SCAQMD Rule 403.
Mitigation Measures
During clearing and earthwork activities, the contractor shall
control fugitive dust emissions by regular watering, or other
dust-preventive measures using the following procedures:
Page 85
25.H.
e
e
. All material excavated or graded will be sufficiently watered
to prevent excessive amounts of dust. Watering with complete
coverage shall occur at least twice daily, once in the late
morning and once after work is done for the day.
. All clearing and earthwork activities shall cease during
period of high winds (winds greater than 25 mph averaged over
one hour) or during Stage 1 or Stage 2 smog episodes.
. Streets surrounding the project site should be cleaned at the
end of each day of construction.
. All material transported offsite shall either be sufficiently
watered or securely covered to prevent excessive amounts of
dust.
. The amount of area disturbed by clearing and earthwork
activities shall be minimized at all times.
. Equipment engines shall be maintained in good condition and in
proper tune according to manufacturer's specifications.
. To the extent feasible, gasoline powered equipment shall be
used for onsite and offsite construction activities.
(D) Less than Significant Impact
The proposed project site is within the immediate vicinity of
several sensitive receptors. However, it has been determined
that the proposed project would not result in significant long-
term air quality impacts. Mitigation measures have been
incorporated into the proposed project to reduce potential
construction-related air quality impacts to a level that is
considered less than significant. Therefore, implementation of
the proposed project would not expose sensitive receptors to any
substantial concentrations of air quality pollutants.
(E) No Impact
The proposed project would not generate any short-term
construction related or long-term operational odors.

IV. BIOLOGICAL RESOURCES
(A.B.C.D) No Impact
According to the City's General Plan EIR, there are no sensitive
biological resources located on the proposed project site.
Therefore, implementation of the proposed project would not
result in any adverse impacts to any onsite sensitive biological
resources. The proposed project would provide additional open
space in the City, which could foster the growth and relocation
of additional biological resources into the area.
V. CULTURAL RESOURCES
(A) No Impact
There are no structures on the project site that are designated
as a Federal, State or local historical resource. Therefore,
implementation of the proposed project would not result in
significant impacts to any historic resources.
(B) No Impact
According to the City's General Plan, there are no known
archaeological resources located on or within the vicinity of
the project site. Therefore, implementation of the proposed
project would not result in any adverse impacts to any
archaeological resources.
(C) No Impact
According to the City's General Plan, the proposed project site
is not located in an area where paleontological resources are
known to exist. Therefore, implementation of the proposed
project would not result in adverse impacts to paleontological
resources.
(D) No Impact
Implementation of the proposed project would not affect known
human remains because the proposed project site does not contain
any known human remains.
VI. GEOLOGY/SOILS
(A-l) No Impact
Page 87
25.H.
e
e
According to the City's General Plan there are no known active
earthquake faults or fault zones on the proposed project site.
Therefore, the project site does not have the potential for
ground rupture.
(A-2) Less Than Significant Impact
The proposed project site is located within a region known to
contain active earthquake faults. Similar to many other areas in
Southern California, slight to moderate ground shaking may occur
on the project site if an earthquake occurs along one of the
faults in the region. To reduce potential impacts associated
with seismic activity to a level that is below significant, the
proposed project would be designed in accordance with the latest
seismic safety standards of the Uniform Building Code.
(A-3) Less Than Significant Impact
According to the City's General Plan EIR, the proposed project
site is located in an area that is characterized with very high
liquefaction potential. However, as part of the City's
development review process, a geotechnical study would be
prepared to identify the needed improvements to reduce the
potential for liquefaction impacts to a level that is less than
significant.
(A-4) No Impact
The project site is flat without any topographical relief.
According to the City's General Plan, there are no landslide
planes on the project site. Therefore, implementation of the
project would not result in adverse impacts in regards to
landslides.
(B) Less Than Significant Impact with Mitigation
The proposed project site would involve earthwork activities to
construct a new recreation/community center and parking areas.
Disturbed soils on the project site could result in erosion
impacts to onsite and offsite drainage facilities. This
potential impact could increase during periods of rain. To
reduce potential erosion impacts, the following mitigation
measure shall be implemented.
25.H.
Page 88
e
e
Mitigation Measure
The project applicant shall prepare a Water Quality Management
Plan. The plan shall identify Best Management Practices that
would minimize erosion impacts into existing drainage systems.
(C) No Impact
According to the City's General Plan EIR, the proposed project
site does not contain any unique geologic features. Therefore,
implementation of the project would not result in adverse
impacts to any unique geologic feature.
(D) Less Than Significant Impact
According the City's General Plan EIR, the proposed project site
is located on soils that have moderate shrink/swell potential.
As part of the City's development review process a geotechnical
study would be prepared to identify the necessary improvements
to ensure the long-term goetechnical stability of the project
site.
(E) No Impact
The proposed project involves the improvement and expansion of a
park. Portions of the project site are currently improved with
sewer systems. The project site would be able to support the
expansion of additional sewer facilities for the proposed
project.
VII. HAZARDOUS/HAZARDOUS MATERIALS
(A.B) No Impact
The proposed project is the expansion and improvement of an
existing park site. The long-term operation of the project would
not involve the routine transportation, disposal or emission of
hazardous materials or waste. Implementation of the proposed
project would not result in a significant hazard to the public
or the environment.
(C) Less than Significant Impact
A portion of the proposed project site was the former location
of the city yard. Routine operations associated with the city
yard involved the handling and storage of hazardous materials.
Page 89
25.H.
e
e
Previously, prepared assessments for the project site have
identified high and low levels of contaminated soils and low
levels of ground water contamination.
According to the previously prepared assessment, contaminated
soils above screening levels would be removed, and soils with
contaminant concentrations below screening levels would be left
in place for biodegradation. Additionally, due to the low ground
water contaminant concentrations on the project site, active
long-term removal and cleansing of ground water would not
required. Contaminated ground water would be removed during
soil excavations and would either be treated onsite or
transported offsite for proper disposal. At this the remedial
action plan for the project has been completed and approved by
the State Regional Water Quality Control Board. Implementation
of the project would not create a significant hazard to the
public or the environment.
(D) No Impact
According to the EIR for General Plan Land Use Element, the
proposed project site is not within an accident potential zone.
However, the site is located within the FAA Notification Area.
The FAA is required to be notified if new construction or
alteration of existing structures is greater than 200 feet and
within 3 miles of an airport. The proposed project would be less
than thirty feet in height. Therefore, the project would not be
in conflict with any FAA safety standards. Implementation of
the proposed project would not result in any airport related
safety hazards to people residing in or working within the
project area.
VIII. HYDROLOGY/WATER QUALITY
(A) Less Than Significant Impact with Mitigation
Implementation of the proposed project could result in
discharges that could be in conflict with water quality
standards established by the State Regional Water Quality
Control Board.
Remedial activities for the treatment of contaminated ground
water could involve the discharge of treated water into existing
drainage facilities. Additionally, construction operations
associated with the proposed project could involve dewatering
operations and the disposal of effluent into existing drainage
systems. Construction operations could also degrade the quality
25.H.
Page 90
.
.
of surface water runoff entering into existing drainage
facilities. Poorly maintained trash areas on the project site
could also contribute to the degradation of surface water runoff
quality.
To reduce any potential impacts associated with waste discharge
into drainage facilities, the following mitigation measure shall
be implemented.
Mitigation Measure
The project applicant shall obtain coverage under a general
storm water permit from State Regional Water Quality control
Board for the discharge of storm water associated with
construction activity.
The project applicant shall provide an individual,
comprehensive, long-term post construction storm water
management plan, incorporating all needed structural and non-
structural best management practices as required by the Orange
County Drainage Area Management Plan and its municipal co-permit
National Pollution Discharge Elimination System Permit.
The applicant shall obtain the necessary permits from the State
Regional Water Quality Control Board for the discharge of any
treated groundwater into the project area drainage facilities.
The project applicant shall prepare a Water Quality Management
Plan. The plan shall identify best management practices that
would apply to the proposed project. Particular attention shall
be directed at the design and management of trash enclosure
areas to prevent food, chemicals and contaminants from entering
the storm drain systems.
(B) No Impact
Construction of the proposed project could involve some
dewatering operations. However, implementation of the project
would not significantly deplete groundwater supplies.
Additionally, the proposed project would not interfere with
ground water recharge because the site is not located in an area
that is known to recharge the ground water system.
(C.D) Less Than Significant Impact
Implementation of the proposed project would not significantly
increase the amount of impervious surfaces in the project area.
Page 91
25.H.

As a result, the amount of surface water runoff would not
significantly increase. Adequate drainage facilities are located
in the area to accommodate increased rates of surface water
runoff.
(E.F.G) No Impact
According to the City's General Plan the project site is not
located within a lOa-Year Flood Zone. Additionally, The Federal
Insurance Rate Map identifies that project site is in Zone X
(Not Within 100 Year Flood Area). Implementation of the proposed
project would not place any housing within a lOa-year Flood
Zone, nor does the proposed project place a structure within a
lOa-Year Flood Zone, which would impede or redirect flood flows.
Implementation of the proposed project would not result in
significant flood hazards.
IX. LAND USE/PLANNING
