SUBSEQUENT ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT REPORT ADDENDUM
Platinum Triangle Fire Station No. 12 Project
1.0 INTRODUCTION
The City of Anaheim (City) proposes to develop a new 12,622 square -foot fire station on a 1.5-acre site.
The site is currently used as a surface parking lot that supports the Anaheim Gateway Building and Angel
Stadium of Anaheim. The site is located at the northeast corner of State College Boulevard and Gateway
Office, north of the existing Stadium Gateway Office Building. The Platinum Triangle Fire Station No. 12
Project ("Proposed Project") would expand Anaheim Department of Fire and Rescue's (Anaheim Fire and
Rescue) capabilities and would serve as a new first response facility for emergency services within the
Project vicinity.
The City, as the Lead Agency, prepared this Addendum No. 12 (Addendum) to the Final Subsequent
Environmental Impact Report (FSEIR) No. 339 (State Clearing house No. 2004121045) and Addendum
Nos. 1 through 11 and Sustainable Communities Environmental Assessment (SCEA) (herein collectively
referred to as SEIR No. 339). The Anaheim City Council certified and approved SEIR No. 339 forthe Revised
Platinum Triangle Expansion Project in 2010. This document refers to the Revised Platinum Triangle
Expansion Project, including all subsequent amendments analyzed by Addendum Nos. 1 through 11 and
SCEA, as the "Approved Project." The City has prepared this Addendum in accordance with the provisions
of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) (California Public Resources Code [PRC] Sections
21000 et seq.); the State CEQA Guidelines (Title 14, California Code of Regulations [CCR] Sections 15000
et seq.); and the rules, regulations, and procedures for implementing CEQA as set forth by the City of
Anaheim. In accordance with CEQA Guidelines Section 15367, the City is the lead agency with principal
responsibility for considering the Proposed Project for approval.
This introduction discusses:
1. The requirements of CEQA;
2. The primary purpose of an addendum to a previously certified environmental impact report (EIR);
3. The standards for adequacy of an addendum pursuant to the CEQA Guidelines;
4. SEIR No. 339;
5. The format and content of this Addendum;
6. The City's processing requirements to consider the Proposed Project for approval;
7. An explanation of the Environmental Checklist provided in Section_ 3.0. Environmental Anah,,sis:
and,
8. A summary of the documents incorporated by reference and points of contact for the Proposed
Project.
1.1 CALIFORNIA ENVIRONMENTAL QUALITY ACT
CEQA, a Statewide environmental law contained in PRC Sections 21000-21177, applies to most public
agency decisions which carry out, authorize, or approve actions that have the potential to adversely
affect the environment. The CEQA Guidelines allow for updating and using a previously certified EIR for
projects that have changed or are different from the previous project or conditions analyzed in the
certified EIR. In cases where changes or additions occur with no new significant environmental impacts,
an addendum to a previously certified EIR may be prepared, consistent with CEQA Guidelines Section
Final I May 2022 1-1 Introduction
f` b SUBSEQUENT ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT REPORT ADDENDUM
Platinum Triangle Fire Station No. 12 Project
15164. The City has prepared this Addendum in accordance with Section 21166 of CEQA and Sections
15162 and 15164 of the CEQA Guidelines.
1.1.1 CEQA REQUIREMENTS FOR PREPARATION OF AN ADDENDUM
Section 15164(a) of the CEQA Guidelines states that "the lead agency or a responsible agency shall
prepare an addendum to a previously certified EIR if some changes or additions are necessary but none
of the conditions described in Section 15162 calling for preparation of a subsequent EIR have occurred."
Pursuant to Section 15162(a) of the CEQA Guidelines, a subsequent EIR or Negative Declaration is only
required when:
(1) Substantial changes are proposed in the project which will require major revisions of the previous
EIR or Negative Declaration due to the involvement of new significant environmental effects or
a substantial increase in the severity of previously identified significant effects;
(2) Substantial changes occur with respect to the circumstances under which the project is
undertaken which will require major revisions of the previous EIR or Negative Declaration due to
the involvement of new significant environmental effects or a substantial increase in the severity
of previously identified significant effects; or
(3) New information of substantial importance, which was not known and could not have been
known with the exercise of reasonable diligence at the time the previous EIR was certified as
complete or the Negative Declaration was adopted, shows any of the following:
(A) The project will have one or more significant effects not discussed in the previous EIR or
Negative Declaration;
(B) Significant effects previously examined will be substantially more severe than shown in the
previous EIR;
(C) Mitigation measures or alternatives previously found not to be feasible would in fact be
feasible and would substantially reduce one or more significant effects of the project, but
the project proponents decline to adopt the mitigation measure or alternative; or
(D) Mitigation measures or alternatives which arc considerably different from those analyzed in
the previous EIR would substantially reduce one or more significant effects on the
environment, but the project proponents decline to adopt the mitigation measure or
alternative.
The following describes the requirements of an addendum, as defined by CEQA Guidelines Section 15164:
a. The lead agency or responsible agency shall prepare an addendum to a previously certified EIR if
some changes or additions are necessary but none of the conditions described in Section 15162
calling for preparation of a subsequent EIR have occurred.
b. An addendum to an adopted Negative Declaration may be prepared if only minor technical
changes or additions are necessary or none of the conditions described in Section 15162 calling
for the preparation of a subsequent EIR or Negative Declaration have occurred.
c. An addendum need not be circulated for public review but can be included in or attached to the
final EIR or adopted Negative Declaration.
d. The decision -making body shall consider the addendum with the final EIR or adopted Negative
Declaration prior to making a decision on the project.
Final I May 2022 1-2 Introduction
SUBSEQUENT ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT REPORT ADDENDUM
Platinum Triangle Fire Station No. 12 Project
e. A brief explanation of the decision not to prepare a subsequent EIR pursuant to Section 15162
should be included in an addendum to an EIR, the lead agency's findings on the project, or
elsewhere in the record. The explanation must be supported by substantial evidence.
If none of these circumstances is present, and only minor technical changes or additions are necessary to
update the previously certified EIR, an addendum may be prepared, consistent with CEQA Guidelines
Section 15164. Based on the analysis and evaluation provided in this Addendum, no new significant
impacts would occur because of the Proposed Project nor any substantial increase in the severity of any
previously -identified significant environmental impact. In addition, no new information of substantial
importance shows that mitigation measures or alternatives that were previously found infeasible or that
are considerably different from those analyzed for SEIR No. 339 would substantially reduce one or more
significant effects on the environment. Therefore, no conditions described in Section 15162 of the CEQA
Guidelines has occurred. Forthis reason, an addendum is the appropriate document that will comply with
CEQA requirements for the Proposed Project.
1.1.2 TYPE OF CEQA COMPLIANCE DOCUMENT AND LEVEL OF
ANALYSIS
The purpose of this Addendum is to analyze any potential differences between the impacts identified in
the SEIR No. 339 for the Approved Project and those that would be associated with the Proposed Project.
Pursuant to the provisions of CEQA and the CEQA Guidelines, the City of Anaheim is the Lead Agency
charged with the responsibility of deciding whether to approve the Proposed Project. As part of its
decision -making process, the City is required to review and consider whether the Proposed Project would
create new significant impacts or significant impacts that would be substantially more severe than those
disclosed in the SEIR No. 339. The Proposed Project would only trigger additional CEQA review beyond
this Addendum if the Proposed Project creates new significant impacts or impacts that are more severe
than those disclosed in the SEIR No. 339forthe Approved Project. To use an addendum as the appropriate
CEQA document for the Proposed Project, the City must find that major revisions of the SEIR No. 339 are
not necessary and that none of the conditions described in CEQA Guidelines Section 15162 calling forthe
preparation of additional CEQA documentation has occurred.
CEQA Guidelines Section 15168(a) states that a Program EIR is appropriate for a series of actions,
characterized as one large project, and are related either:
1. Geographically;
2. A logical parts [sic] in the chain of contemplated actions;
3. In connection with issuance of rules, regulations, plans, or other general criteria to govern the
conduct of a continuing program; or
4. As individual activities carried out under the same authorizing statutory or regulatory authority
and having generally similar environmental effects which can be mitigated in similar ways.
As discussed in Section 2.0, the Proposed Project would construct a two-story fire station on an existing
surface parking lot that currently supports the Anaheim Gateway Building and Angel Stadium in the City
of Anaheim. As detailed herein, the Proposed Project would not result in any new significant impacts that
were not analyzed in the SEIR No. 339, nor would the Project cause a substantial increase in the severity
of any previously identified environmental impacts. The potential impacts associated with this Proposed
Final I May 2022 1-3 Introduction
SUBSEQUENT ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT REPORT ADDENDUM
Platinum Triangle Fire Station No. 12 Project
Project would either be the same or less than those described in the SEIR No. 339. In addition, there are
no substantial changes to the circumstances, under which the City would undertake the Proposed Project
that would result in new or more severe environmental impacts than previously addressed in the SEIR
No. 339. Furthermore, this Addendum does not identify any new information regarding the potential for
new or more severe significant environmental impacts. Therefore, in accordance with CEQA Guidelines
Section 15164, this Addendum to the previously certified SEIR No. 339 is the appropriate environmental
documentation for the Proposed Project. In acting on any of the approvals for the Proposed Project, the
decision -making body must consider the whole of the data presented in the SEIR No. 339 as augmented
by this Addendum. In addition, the decision -making body must consider all applicable mitigation from
the Updated and Modified Mitigation Monitoring Program No. 106D (also referred to as "MMP No. 106D"
and "Mitigation Measures from SEIR No. 339") approved in conjunction with SEIR No. 339.
If the City finds that, pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Section 15162, no new effects could occur and no new
mitigation is required, the City can approve the activity as being within the scope of the SEIR No. 339. As
such, the SEIR No. 339 clearly anticipated environmental impacts associated with Projects such as the
Proposed Project, and, thus, the SEIR No. 339 was intended to serve as the Program EIR to be used in
preparing CEQA compliance documentation for future projects.
CEQA Guidelines Section 15168(c) states that the decision -making body must examine subsequent
activities undertaken pursuant to a Program EIR in light of the Program EIR to determine whether an
additional environmental document must be prepared. Pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Section 15168(c)(4),
"Where the subsequent activities involve site specific operations, the agency should use a written
checklist or similar device to document the evaluation of the site and the activity to determine whether
the environmental effects of the operation were covered in the Program EIR."
This Addendum provides the environmental information necessary for the City to make an informed
decision about the Proposed Project. The City has determined that an Addendum to the SEIR No. 339
should be prepared, rather than a Supplemental or Subsequent EIR, based on the following facts:
As demonstrated in the accompanying Environmental Checklist (see Section 3.0, Environmental
Analysis), the Proposed Project would not require major revisions to the previously certified SEIR
No. 339 because the Project would not result in any new significant impacts to the physical
environment, nor would it create substantial increases in the severity of the environmental
impacts previously disclosed in the SEIR No. 339.
b. Subsequent to the SEIR No. 339, no substantial changes occurred in the circumstances under
which the Proposed Project would be undertaken.
c. Subsequent to the SEIR No. 339, no new information of substantial importance has become
available that was not known at the time the SEIR No. 339 was prepared.
d. The Proposed Project's discretionary actions would not result in any new or substantially more
severe significant environmental impacts beyond those disclosed in the SEIR No. 339. The
reasonable consequence of the Proposed Project through approval of the various discretionary
and ministerial actions would also not result in any new or substantially more severe significant
environmental impacts beyond those disclosed in the SEIR No. 339.
Subsequent to the SEIR No. 339, no new mitigation measures or alternatives have been identified
that were infeasible at the time the SEIR No. 339 was certified and that would substantially

SUBSEQUENT ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT REPORT ADDENDUM
Platinum Triangle Fire Station No. 12 Project
reduce the Approved Project's significant and unavoidable impacts to air quality, greenhouse gas
emissions, land use and planning, noise, and transportation and traffic.
f. Subsequent to the SEIR No. 339, no new mitigation measures or alternatives that are
considerably different from those analyzed in the SEIR No. 339 have been identified to reduce
the Approved Project's significant and unavoidable impacts to air quality, greenhouse gas
emissions, land use and planning, noise, and transportation and traffic.
Based on these facts, the City determined that an addendum to the SEIR No. 339 is the appropriate type
of CEQA document to prepare for the Proposed Project. The purpose of this Addendum is to evaluate the
Proposed Project's level of impact on the environment in comparison to the existing condition and
Approved Project and SEIR No. 339.
1.2 PROJECT SUMMARY
The Project proposes to develop a two-story, 12,622 square -foot fire station on a 1.5-acre site, currently
used as a surface parking lot that supports the Anaheim Gateway Building and Angel Stadium. The Project
site is located at the northeast corner of State College Boulevard and Gateway Office, north of the existing
Stadium Gateway Office Building. The new fire station would expand the Anaheim Fire and Rescue's
capabilities and would serve as a new first response facility for emergency services within the Project
vicinity.
1.3 PROJECT BACKGROUND
In October 2010, the City approved the Revised Platinum Triangle Expansion Project, which included the
following discretionary approvals: (1) Platinum Triangle Water Supply Assessment; (2) General Plan for
the City of Anaheim (General Plan) Amendment No. 2008-00471; (3) amendments to The Platinum
Triangle Master Land Use Plan (PTMLUP), including The Platinum Triangle Standardized Development
Agreement Form; (4) amendments to The Platinum Triangle Mixed Use (PTMU) Overlay Zone; and (5)
Zoning Reclassification No. 2008-00222. The SEIR No. 339, which was prepared to evaluate the potential
impacts of the Revised Platinum Triangle Expansion Project, was certified by the Anaheim City Council on
October 26, 2010. As a result of the land use approvals by the City, the development intensities of the
PTMU Overlay Zone were increased to allow up to 18,909 residential units, 4,909,682 square feet of
commercial uses, 14,340,522 square feet of office uses, and 1,500,000 square feet of institutional uses.
In addition to the increase in development intensity, the Revised Platinum Triangle Expansion Project also
identified upgrades to existing infrastructure to serve the proposed increased intensity of land uses. The
upgrades included roadway improvements, sewer upgrades, two new water wells, a new electrical
substation, natural gas infrastructure improvements, and an additional fire station.
As part of its certification of SEIR No. 339, the City Council adopted a Statement of Overriding
Considerations to address significant and unavoidable environmental impacts that would result from
implementation of the Revised Platinum Triangle Expansion Project. These unavoidable impacts included
the following:
• Air Quality
o Construction activities associated with the Approved Project would generate
substantially more short-term air pollutants compared to the Adopted Master Land Use
Final I May 2022 1-5 Introduction
SUBSEQUENT ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT REPORT ADDENDUM
Platinum Triangle Fire Station No. 12 Project
Plan and would continue to exceed South Coast Air Quality Management District's
regional significance thresholds.
o Implementation of the Approved Project would generate substantially more long-term
air pollutants compared to the Adopted Master Land Use Plan and would continue to
exceed South Coast Air Quality Management District's regional significance thresholds.
o Construction activities would potentially expose sensitive receptors to substantial
pollutant concentrations of NOx, CO, PM1o, and PM2.5.
o Sensitive land uses within 500 feet of SR-57 and 1-5 or within the recommended buffer
distances to facilities emitting toxic air contaminants (TACs) may be exposed to
substantial pollutant concentrations.
• Greenhouse Gas Emissions
o The Approved Project would generate substantially more greenhouse gas emissions
compared to the Adopted Master Land Use Plan and cumulatively contribute to climate
change impacts in California. However, the Approved Project would be consistent
statewide and regional greenhouse gas reductions goals.
• Land Use and Planning
o Some development pursuant to the Approved Project would not be compatible with the
Southern California Gas Company's existing microwave tower.
• Noise
o Build -out of the Approved Project would result in a substantial, permanent increase in
ambient traffic noise levels within the vicinity of existing noise -sensitive receptors.
o Noise -sensitive residential units proposed within the Platinum Triangle may be exposed
to mobile- and stationary -source noise levels that exceed State and/or City standards.
o Construction of the Approved Project would generate substantial levels of groundborne
vibration and groundborne noise in the vicinity of vibration -sensitive land uses.
o Development within the Platinum Triangle could result in a substantial temporary
increase in noise levels in the vicinity of existing noise -sensitive land uses during
construction activities.
• Transportation and Traffic
o Project -related trip generation would impact levels of service for the area roadway
system.
o The Approved Project would increase traffic volumes on Caltrans facilities.
Eleven addenda have been prepared to SEIR No. 339. Table 1-1, SEIR No. 339 Addenda Summary Table.
provides a brief summary for each project within the Platinum Triangle for which the City Council
approved an addendum. The City Council approved amendments to the land use assumptions in Revised
Platinum Triangle Expansion Project, in conjunction with Addendum Nos. 2 through 6, through the
approval of amendments to the General Plan, PTMLUP, and PTMU Overlay Zone. These documents, as
amended, currently permit development of up to 17,501 residential units; 4,782,243 square feet of
commercial uses; 13,659,103 square feet of office uses, and 1,500,000 square feet of institutional uses.

implementation of the Anaheim General Plan and City of Anaheim Zoning Code Update. It provided
information pertaining to existing and future environmental settings within the City's jurisdiction.
Anaheim Municipal Code: The Anaheim Municipal Code (Municipal Code), current through Ordinance
6527, passed March 15, 2022, consists of regulatory, penal, and administrative ordinances of the City of
Anaheim. These include standards intended to regulate land use, development, health and sanitation,
water quality, public facilities, and public safety. Title 18 of the Municipal Code (Zoning Code), is utilized
to promote growth of the City in an orderly manner, and to promote and protect the public health, safety,
peace, comfort and general welfare in conformance with the General Plan.
The Platinum Trian:ae Master Land Use Plan. Au nust 2004, EDAW, Inc.. as amended: The Platinum
Triangle Master Land Use Plan (PTMLUP), dated August 2004, as amended, prepared by EDAW, Inc.,
serves as the blueprint for development within the Platinum Triangle. It establishes planning principles,
applicable land use policies, allowable development intensities, and design guidelines.
The Platinum Triamile Subseguent EiR No. 332, State Clearinghouse No. 2004121045: The Platinum
Triangle Subsequent EIR No. 332, State Clearinghouse No. 2004121045 (SEIR No. 332), dated 2005,

The Revised Platinum Triangle Expansion Protect Subsequent Environmental Impact Report No. 339,
August 2010. The Planning Center: The Revised Platinum Triangle Expansion Project Subsequent
Environmental impact Report No. 339 (SEIR No. 339), dated 2005, prepared by The Planning Center,
addressed the environmental effects associated with the implementation of the Revised Platinum
Triangle Expansion Project (herein referenced as the Approved Project) in the City of Anaheim, California.
The City of Anaheim proposed to increase the amount of residential, commercial, office, and institutional
development intensities permitted in the Platinum Triangle. The Approved Project reduced the amount
of office and commercial square footage and increased the number of residential units being requested
as compared to the previous Platinum Triangle Expansion Project analyzed in Final SEIR No. 334. These
modifications were made to improve the overall jobs/housing balance in the Platinum Triangle at
buildout, encourage a full range of transit -oriented development opportunities for the Anaheim Regional
Transportation Intermodal Center (ARTIC), and reduce traffic impacts to the City of Orange. Since this
time, the SEIR No. 339 has been amended as a result of eight subsequent addenda.
Platinum Trian=Ile Implementation Plan: The City of Anaheim Public Works Department drafted the
Platinum Triangle Implementation Plan (PTIP), originally drafted in August 2006 and subsequently
updated most recently as Update No. 4, dated March 2016. The PTIP was based on the PTMLUP and
associated documentation and includes descriptions of street, sewer, and storm drain improvements
necessary to support PTMLUP development. The PTIP is intended as a planning tool for programming and
funding decisions based on development patterns and intensity and foreseeable revenue streams
available.

Final I May 2022 1.12 Introduction
SUBSEQUENT ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT REPORT ADDENDUM
Platinum Triangle Fire Station No. 12 project
2.0 PROJECT DESCRIPTION
2.1 PROJECT LOCATION
The Project site is located within the City of Anaheim's Platinum Triangle, approximately 0.5-mile east of
Interstate 5 (1-5) and 0.5 miles southwest of State Route 57 (SR-57), in the County of Orange; refer to
Exhibit 2-1- Regional Vicinity. Specifically, the Proposed Project site is located at the northeast corner of
South State College Boulevard and Gateway Office, north of the existing Stadium Gateway Office Building;
refer to Exhibit 2-2 - Site Vicinity.
2.2 ENVIRONMENTAL SETTING
The 1.5-acre Project site is located within a highly developed and urbanized area of the City of Anaheim.
Currently, the Project site functions as a surface parking lot that supports the Anaheim Gateway Building
and Angel Stadium of Anaheim. The Project site is paved and striped, providing 213 parking spaces.
Parking lot security lighting also exists on -site. Vehicular access is provided from Gateway Office, south
of the Project site. Sidewalk is present along South State College Boulevard, west of the Project site,
which provides pedestrian access to the site.
2.2.1 GENERAL PLAN LAND USE DESIGNATION AND ZONING
The General Plan designates the Project site and surrounding land uses as Mixed -Use Urban Core. The
Anaheim Zoning Map zones the Project site and surrounding land uses as Public Recreation (PR) within
the Stadium District of the Platinum Triangle Mixed Use (PTMU) Overlay Zone.
The Mixed -Use Urban Core designation allows a mix of uses including residential, commercial, services,
hotel, and professional office uses in a high -quality environment. The focus of this designation is on
creating a pedestrian -friendly environment, including increased connectivity and community gathering
spaces. Uses may mix in a vertical, horizontal, or multi -use pattern. Stand-alone uses within a multi -use
project need to integrate into an overall project design and connected to other adjoining uses by plazas,
promenades, and landscaped corridors, and should include common architectural themes and signage.
Typical residential uses could include stacked flats, live -work units, and artist -style lofts. The maximum
density for the residential component of mixed -use development is up to 100 dwelling units per acre. The
maximum floor area ratio for the nonresidential component of mixed -use development is 3.00.
The intent of the PTMU Overlay Zone is to provide opportunities for well -designed development projects
that combine residential with non-residential uses. The non-residential uses include office, retail, business
services, personal services, public spaces and uses, and other community amenities within the portions
of the Platinum Triangle designated with the Mixed -Use, Office High and Office Low land use designations
in the General Plan, and consistent with the policy direction in the General Plan. The PTMU Overlay Zone
has the following major objectives:
Create a unique integrated, walkable urban environment that encourages pedestrian activity and
reduces dependence on the automobile for everyday needs, through a connected streetscape
that is attractive, safe, and engaging;

from
Previous
Analysis
Previous Significance Determination: The Initial Study for SEIR No. 339 determined that the Approved
Project does not contain any scenic vistas that are officially recognized at a local, State, or federal level.
The Initial Study concluded that impacts to scenic vistas would be less than significant, and no mitigation
measures were necessary. Because the Initial Study considered these impacts less than significant, this
was not further analyzed in SEIR No. 339.
Project -Specific Analysis: Generally, scenic vistas are defined as a view of undisturbed natural lands
exhibiting a unique or unusual feature that comprises an important or dominant portion of the viewshed.
Scenic vistas may also be represented by a distant view that provides visual relief from less attractive
views of nearby features. Other designated federal and State lands, as well as local open space or
recreational areas, may also offer scenic vistas if they represent a valued aesthetic view within the
surrounding landscape of nearby features. The General Plan Land Use Element designates the Santa Ana
River, the Hill and Canyon Area, and open space areas as scenic resources and encourages the
preservation and protection of these areas.
The proposed fire station would occur within a highly urbanized area of Anaheim where existing
residential and commercial development blocks public views of the Santa Ana River, the Hill and Canyon
Area, and open space areas. Therefore, impacts to scenic vistas would be less than significant, and the
level of impact would not substantially increase from that identified in SEIR No. 339.
Significance Determination: No substantial increase in the level of impact from previous analysis.

b) Would the project substantially damage scenic resources including, but not limited to,
trees, rock outcroppings, and historic buildings within a State scenic highway?
Previous Significance Determination: The Initial Study for SEIR No. 339 determined that the Platinum
Triangle is not located within the viewshed of a State scenic highway. The closest officially designated
State scenic highway to the Platinum Triangle is SR-91 from SR-55 to east of the City's limit near Weir
Canyon. The Initial Study concluded that impacts to scenic resources would be less than significant since
the Platinum Triangle is not visible from SR-91, nor is SR-91 visible from the Platinum Triangle. Because
the Initial Study considered these impacts less than significant, this was not further analyzed in SEIR No.
339.
Project -Specific Analysis: According to the California Department of Transportation's (Caltrans)
California Scenic Highway Mapping System, officially designated State scenic highways do not occur in the
Project vicinity.' As indicated in the Initial Study for SEIR No. 339, the nearest eligible scenic highway to
the Platinum Triangle is SR-91, which is located more than three miles northeast of the Project site. The
Project site does not provide views of SR-91 due to intervening topography, structures, and vegetation.
Due to the absence of designated scenic highways in the Project site vicinity, no impact would occur, and
the level of impact would not increase from that identified in SEIR No. 339.
Significance Determination: No substantial increase in the level of impact from previous analysis.
c) Would the project substantially degrade the existing visual character or quality of public
views of the site and its surroundings? (Public views are those that are experienced from
publicly accessible vantage point). If the project is in an urbanized area, would the
project conflict with applicable zoning and other regulations governing scenic quality??
This impact threshold was modified by the Governor's Office of Planning and Research (OPR) in 2018. The
changes to this threshold of significance consist of refinements and clarifications of existing requirements.
Specifically, consideration of degradation of character or quality was clarified for urbanized areas.
Although the specific language for this threshold of significance has changed, the analysis was considered
in the SEIR No. 339 on page 5.1-9 of SEIR No. 339.
Previous Significance Determination: SEIR No. 339 classifies the Platinum Triangle as an area
transitioning from light industrial to mixed -use development in accordance with the adopted PTMLUP.
Despite the increased intensity of residential and nonresidential land uses, SEIR No. 339 found that
compliance with provisions of the adopted PTMLUP would ensure the individual projects are compatible
with existing and future land uses within the Platinum Triangle. SEIR No. 339 concluded that impacts to
visual character and quality would be less than significant with the incorporation of SEIR No. 332
Mitigation Measure (MM) 5.1-1, which requires a shade analysis for shadow -sensitive properties.
Project -Specific Analysis: As discussed in Section 2.0, the Project site is situated in an urbanized area
and zoned Public Recreation (PR) within the Stadium District of the Platinum Triangle Mixed Use (PTMU)
Overlay Zone. Surrounding land uses include residential and commercial uses. Since the Project is situated
in an urbanized area, the following analysis considers the Project's consistency with applicable zoning
and other regulations governing scenic quality:

SUBSEQUENT ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT REPORT ADDENDUM
Platinum Triangle Fire Station No. 12 Project
The Project would construct a new two-story fire station on an existing surface parking lot. The Project
would include a full perimeter security block wall and landscaping. The Project would be subject to
development regulations for the PTMU Overlay Zone development pursuant to Municipal Code Chapters
18.14, Public and Special -Purpose Zones, and 18.20, Platinum Triangle Mixed Use (PTMU) Overlay Zone.
Specifically, the Project would be consistent with the height, setbacks, building orientation, as well as
parking and vehicular access among other City development standards; refer to Table 3.11-1, Project
Consistenc% with PTMU Overlay Zone Development Standards.
The Project site and surrounding land uses are designated for Mixed -Use Urban Core land uses. The new
fire station would be designed to have a similar visual character and quality of the surrounding urban
development and would be consistent with the goals and policies in the General Plan that relate to scenic
quality. Specifically, the Project would be consistent with General Plan Policy 15.1(1) and designed in
accordance with the Platinum Triangle Design Guidelines to implement the vision for The Platinum
Triangle. The Project would also be consistent with General Plan Policies 18.1(1) and 18.1(5).
SEIR No. 332 MM 5.1-1 requires preparation of a shade/shadow analysis forfuture development projects
where adjacent uses are shadow sensitive. The proposed two-story fire station would be directly adjacent
to a five -story multi -family residential development to the north, surface parking associated with the
Angel Stadium of Anaheim to the east, a six -story commercial office building to the south, and South
State College Boulevard to the west. Accordingly, the Proposed Project would cast shadows similar to the
existing urban environment. Additionally, as stated in Response 3.1(c), the Project would be consistent
with the Municipal Code development regulations (Chapters 18.14 and 18.20) regarding building height
and setbacks. Nonetheless, SEIR No. 332 MM 5.1-1 would ensure potential impacts related to
shade/shadow are minimized.
In conclusion, the Project would be consistent with the City's applicable regulations, goals, and policies
pertaining to scenic quality. As such, the Proposed Project would not conflict with applicable zoning and
other regulations governing scenic quality. Less than significant impacts would occur in this regard, and
the level of impact would not increase from that identified in SEIR No. 339. Given that the permitted type
and intensity of development would be similar to what was previously analyzed by SEIR No. 339, the level
of impact would not increase from that identified in SEIR No. 339.
Significance Determination: No substantial increase in the level of impact from previous analysis.
d) Would the project create a new source of substantial light or glare which would
adversely affect day or nighttime views in the area?
Previous Significance Determination: According to the Initial Study for SEIR No. 339, buildout of the
PTMLUP would introduce numerous new sources of nighttime illumination, including those related to
buildings, pedestrian walkways, parking areas, park facilities, and roadways. The Initial Study for SEIR No.
339 concluded that compliance with the provisions of the PTMLUP and SEIR No. 332 MM 5.1-1 would
reduce light and glare impacts to less than significant with mitigation.
Project -Specific Analysis: Parking lot security lighting currently occurs on -site. The Proposed Project's
on -site outdoor lighting would include security lighting within the designated parking areas, a 911 call
box, and at building entrances. Lighting would also be installed at the proposed fuel dispensing area. A
red light would be installed in front of the station that identifies the facility as a Fire Station. Lighting
would be designed to avoid light -spillage onto surrounding uses. Last, proposed lighting conditions would
not be more intense than the existing on -site parking lot conditions.

Platinum Triangle Fire Station No. 12 Project
Given that the construction of a new fire station was previously analyzed by SEIR No. 339, the level of
impact in regard to the introduction of light and glare would not increase from that identified in SEIR No.
339. Thus, impacts concerning light or glare would be less than significant, and the level of impact
associated with the Proposed Project would not increase from that identified in SEIR No. 339.
Significance Determination: No substantial increase in the level of impact from previous analysis.

a) Would the project conflict with or obstruct implementation of the applicable air quality
plan?
Previous Significance Determination: SEIR No. 339 concluded that although PTMLUP buildout could
result in an increase in vehicle miles traveled (VMT) and trips in the local area, the PTMLUP would benefit
the Southern California Association Government (SCAG) region as it would allow for housing opportunities
closer to employment centers. SEIR No. 339 determined that the PTMLUP would therefore be consistent
with SCAG's strategies to reduce VMT in the SCAG region and would be consistent with Southern California
Air Quality Management District's (SCAQMD's) 2007 Air Quality Management Plan (2007 AQMP, which
was the applicable air quality plan at the time. Impacts concerning conflicting with or obstructing
implementation of the SCAQMD's 2007 AQMP were identified as less than significant, and no mitigation
was identified.
Project -Specific Analysis: The Proposed Project site is located in the South Coast Air Basin (Basin),
which is under the jurisdiction of SCAQMD. Pursuant to the federal Clean Air Act (CAA), the SCAQMD is
required to reduce emissions of criteria pollutants for which the Basin is in nonattainment: ozone (03),
coarse particulate matter (PMlo), and fine particulate matter (PM2.5). These are considered criteria
pollutants because they are three of several prevalent air pollutants known to be hazardous to human
health.
Since certification of SEIR No. 339, the SCAQMD has adopted the 2016AirQuality Management Plan (2016
AQMP) to reduce emissions of criteria pollutants for which the Basin is in nonattainment. The 2016 AQMP
is a regional and multi -agency effort including the SCAQMD, the California Air Resources Board (CARE),
SCAG, and the United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) to establish a program of rules and
regulations directed at reducing air pollutant emissions and achieving State (California) and federal air
quality standards. The 2016 AQMP pollutant control strategies are based on the latest scientific and
technical information and planning assumptions, including SCAG's 2016 Regional Transportation
Plan/Sustainable Communities Strategy (RTP/SCS), updated emission inventory methodologies for various
Final I May 2022 3.11 Environmental Analysis
SUBSEQUENT ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT REPORT ADDENDUM
Platinum Triangle Fire Station No. 12 Project
source categories, and SCAG's latest growth forecasts.6 SCAG's latest growth forecasts were defined in
consultation with local governments and with reference to local general plans. The Project is subject to
the SCAQMD's 2016 AQMP.
The Criteria for determining consistency with the AQMP is defined by the following indicators:
Consistency Criterion No. 1: The proposed project would not result in an increase in the
frequency or severity of existing air quality violations, or cause or contribute to new violations,
or delay the timely attainment of air quality standards or the interim emissions reductions
specified in the AQMP.
• Consistency Criterion No. 2: The proposed project would not exceed the assumptions in the
AQMP based on the years of project buildout phase.
The violations to which Consistency Criterion No. 1 refers are the California Ambient Air Quality Standards
(CAAQS) and the National Ambient Air Quality Standards (NAAQS). Concerning Consistency Criterion No.
1, the Proposed Project would not involve a change of land use which would increase the frequency or
severity of existing air quality violations, or cause or contribute to new violations, or delay the timey
attainment of air quality standards or the interim emissions reductions specified in the 2016 AQMP. The
Proposed Project involves the construction of a fire station. Based on the scope and scale of the Proposed
Project, the Proposed Project would not exceed the short-term construction or long-term operational air
quality standards beyond what SEIR No. 339 evaluated for the Approved Project.
Construction activities associated with the Proposed Project would be short term and cease upon Project
completion. Typical construction activities primarily include various construction stages such as
demolition, grading, building construction, and architectural coating applications. Construction emissions
are based on the level of activity, length of construction period, number of pieces and types of equipment
in use, site characteristics, weather conditions, number of construction personnel, and the amount of
materials to be transported on- or off -site. Construction activities would comply with SCAQMD Rule 403,
which requires that excessive fugitive dust emissions be controlled by regular watering or other dust
prevention measures. Adherence to SCAQMD Rule 403 would greatly reduce PMlo and PM2.5
concentrations. All architectural coatings for the Proposed Project structure would comply with SCAQMD
Regulation XI, Rule 1113 —Architectural Coating. Rule 1113 provides specifications on painting practices
as well as regulates the ROG content of paint. With adherence to Rule 1113, ROG emissions associated
with the Proposed Project would be less than significant. Overall, based on the scope and duration of the
Proposed Project and mandatory compliance of the SCAQMD rules, air quality impacts related to short-
term construction emissions would not be significant.
Long-term operational impacts from stationary sources'(e.g., mechanical equipment, landscaping, and
heating, ventilation, and air conditioning [HVAC] equipment) would be minimal fora fire station. Although
the Project would include an emergency power generator capable of carrying the full load of all
site/station electrical circuits, it is not anticipated that the emergency power generator would result in
significant criteria pollutant emissions. Pre SCAQMD regulations, prior to installation of an emergency
backup generator on -site, the City would obtain applicable permits from SCAQMD for operation of such
equipment. The SCAQMD is responsible for issuing permits forthe operation of stationary sources in order
6 SCAQMD is currently working on the next iteration of the AQMP, the 2022 Air Quality Management Plan (2022
AQMP). The 2022 AQMP will incorporate the recently adopted SCAG's 2020-2045 Regional Transportation Plan/Sustainable
Communities Strategy (2020-2045 RTP/SCS). However, until the adoption of the 2022 AQMP, Project AQMP consistency will be
analyzed off the 2016 AQMP and the RTP/SCS that was adopted at the time, the 2016-2040 RTP/SCS.

Platinum Triangle Fire Station No. 12 Project
to reduce air pollution, and to attain and maintain the national and California ambient air quality
standards in the Basin. The backup generator would be used only in emergency situations, and would not
contribute a substantial amount of emissions capable of exceeding SCAQM D thresholds. Thus, operational
air emissions would not result in a cumulatively considerable net increase of any criteria pollutant and a
less than significant impact would occur.
Overall, Project implementation would not result in a substantial increase in criteria pollutant emissions,
including PMlo and PM2.5, in a manner that would exceed SCAQMD significance thresholds during Project
construction or operations. Thus, the Proposed Project would be consistent with Consistency Criterion
No. 1, and the level of impact would not increase from that identified in SEIR No. 339.
Concerning Consistency Criterion No. 2, the 2016 AQMP contains air pollutant reduction strategies and
demonstrates that the applicable ambient air quality standards can be achieved within the periods
required under federal law. Growth projections from local general plans adopted by cities in the district
are provided to SCAG, which develops regional growth forecasts that are used to develop future air quality
forecasts for the AQMP. Development consistent with the growth projections in the General Plan is
considered consistent with the AQMP.
Currently, the General Plan designates the Project site as Mixed -Use Urban Core. As discussed in Section
1.3, the Approved Project identified upgrades to existing infrastructure, including constructing a new fire
station, to serve the proposed increased intensity of land uses. Although the Proposed Project could
nominally increase population growth in the City (refer to Section 3.14 - Population and Housing), the
permitted type and intensity of development would be similar to what was previously analyzed by SEIR
No. 339, and the level of impact in regard to air quality is consistent with the AQMP and would not increase
from that identified in SEIR No. 339. For these reasons, the Project would be consistent with Consistency
Criterion No. 2, and Project implementation would not conflict with or obstruct implementation of the
2016 AQMP.
Significance Determination: No substantial increase in the level of impact from previous analysis.
b) Would the project result in a cumulatively considerable net increase of any criteria
pollutant for which the project region is non -attainment under an applicable federal or
State ambient air quality standard?
This impact threshold was modified by the OPR in 2018. The changes to this threshold of significance
consist of refinements and clarifications of existing requirements. Although the specific language for this
threshold of significance has changed, the analysis was considered in the SEIR No. 339 pages 5.2-17 to
5.2-19.
Previous Significance Determination: SEIR No. 339 concluded that PTMLUP implementation had the
potential to result in a cumulatively considerable net increase of any criteria pollutant for which the
project region is in non -attainment under applicable federal or State ambient air quality standards.
Despite incorporation of SEIR No. 339 MM 2-1 through MM 2-6, SEIR No. 339 found that construction
and operation would generate short-term and long-term air pollutants that would exceed SCAQMD's
regional significance thresholds. A significant and unavoidable impact was identified, and a Statement of
Overriding Considerations was adopted by the City Council at SEIR No. 339 certification.

rr� SUBSEQUENT ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT REPORT ADDENDUM
Platinum Triangle moire Station No. 12 Project
Project -Specific Analysis:
Short -Term Construction
Dust (PM1o) is typically a major concern during rough grading activities. Because such emissions are not
amenable to collection and discharge through a controlled source, they are called "fugitive emissions."
Fugitive dust emission rates vary as a function of many parameters (e.g., soil silt, soil moisture, wind
speed, area disturbed, number of vehicles, depth of disturbance or excavation). All development projects
in the City of Anaheim, including the Proposed Project, are subject to SCAQMD rules and regulations to
reduce fugitive dust emissions.
All grading operations, land clearing, loading, stockpiling, landscaping, vehicular track -out, and haul routes
would be subject to compliance with SCAQMD Rule 403, which is included in SEIR No. 339 as MM 2-2.
SCAQMD Rule 403 (Fugitive Dust) requires fugitive dust sources to implement best available control
measures for all sources, and all forms of visible particulate matter are prohibited from crossing any
property line. SCAQMD adopted Rule 403 to reduce PM emissions from any transportation, handling,
construction, or storage activity that has the potential to generate fugitive dust. MM 2-2 of SEIR No. 339
includes these PM suppression techniques.
In addition to SCAQMD Rule 403 (SEIR No. 339 MM 2-2), construction activities would be subject to
SCAQMD Rule 1113 (Architectural Coatings); Rule 431.2 (Low Sulfur Fuel); and Rule 1186/1186.1 (Street
Sweepers), among others. Project construction would also demonstrate conformance with SEIR No. 339
MM 2-1 (criteria for construction equipment), MM 2-3 (detailed construction and demolition [C&D)
recycling and waste reduction measure), and MM 2-4 (low emissions paints and coatings) to reduce
construction -related emissions. Based on the scope and scale of the Project, it is not anticipated that
construction -related emissions would exceed the short-term construction air quality standards beyond
what SEIR No. 339 concluded, which was that despite incorporation of the required Mitigation Measures
(SEIR No. 339 MM 2-1 through MM 2-4), construction activities would generate short-term air pollutants
that would exceed SCAQMD's regional significance thresholds. Thus, the Project's construction -generated
criteria pollutant emissions would not increase from that identified in SEIR No. 339.
Long -Term Operations
Long-term operational impacts primarily come from stationary sources and mobile sources. Long-term
operational impacts from stationary sources associated with the new fire station (e.g., mechanical
equipment, landscaping, and heating, ventilation, and HVAC equipment) would be minimal. In regard to
mobile sources, as detailed in Section 2.3.1 - Fire Station.. and Section 2.3.2 - Access and Parkin:... the
Project would include three apparatus bays (totaling 2,738 square feet) and a minimum of 22 parking
spaces for employees and visitors. As discussed in Section 3.17 - Trans.00rtation, Project implementation
would not impact existing traffic conditions along State College Boulevard and surrounding local roadway
network. Overall, the Project would nominally increase the numbers of vehicles along the roadway thus
generating operational emissions from mobile sources. Nonetheless, based on the scope and scale of the
Project, such increase in operational emissions would not generate a substantial amount of emissions
atop of what has been identified in SEIR No. 339.
Based on the scope and scale of the Project, it is not anticipated that operational emissions would exceed
the long-term operational air quality standards beyond what SEIR No. 339 concluded, which was that
long-term operations would generate long-term air pollutants that would exceed SCAQMD's regional
Final I May 2022 3.14 Environmental Analysis
SUBSEQUENT ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT REPORT ADDENDUM
Platinum Triangle Fire Station No. 12 Project
significance thresholds. Thus, the Project's operational criteria pollutant emissions would not increase
from that identified in SEIR No. 339.
Cumulative Impacts
Cumulatively considerable projects could contribute to an existing or projected air quality exceedance
since the SCAB is currently in nonattainment for 03 and PM2.5. The improvements identified in Section
2_0 are not expected to substantially increase the PTMLUP's short-term and long-term air pollutants
identified in SEIR No. 339. All cumulative development occurring within the Basin would be subject to
compliance with applicable SCAQMD rules and regulations. As such, the Project would not contribute a
cumulatively considerable net increase in the region for any non -attainment criteria pollutant beyond
that identified in SEIR No. 339.
Significance Determination: No substantial increase in the level of impact from previous analysis.
c) Would the project expose sensitive receptors to substantial pollutant concentrations?
Previous Significance Determination: Sensitive populations (sensitive receptors) are more susceptible
to air pollution effects than the general population. Sensitive populations that are in proximity to
localized sources of toxics and CO are of particular concern. Some land uses are considered more sensitive
to air quality changes than others, depending on the population groups and the activities involved. CARB
identifies the following types of people as most likely to be adversely affected by air pollution: children
under 14; elderly over 65; athletes; and people with cardiovascular and chronic respiratory diseases.
Locations with potential to contain a high concentration of these sensitive population groups are called
sensitive receptors and include residential areas, hospitals, day-care facilities, elder -care facilities, places
of worship, elementary schools, and parks.
SEIR No. 339 concluded that PTMLUP implementation could expose sensitive receptors to substantial
pollutant concentrations. Despite implementation of MM 2-1 through MM 2-9, SEIR No. 339 found that:
(1) construction activities would potentially expose sensitive receptors to substantial pollutant
concentrations of NOx, CO, PMlo, and PM2.s; and (2) sensitive land uses within 500 feet of SR-57 and 1-5,
or within the recommended buffer distances to facilities emitting TACs, may be exposed to substantial
pollutant concentrations. Impacts were determined to remain significant and unavoidable, and a
Statement of Overriding Considerations was adopted by the City Council when SEIR No. 339 was certified.
Project -Specific Analysis: The closest sensitive receptor to the Project site is the adjoining multi -family
residential use located approximately 5 feet to the north. The Proposed Project involves the construction
of a two-story, approximately 10,000 square -foot fire station. Construction activities would involve
incidental amounts of toxic substances such as oils, solvents, paints, adhesives, and coatings. The use and
application of these substances would comply with all applicable SCAQMD rules fortheir use, storage, and
disposal. The SCAQMD has established that impacts to air quality are significant if there is a potential to
contribute or cause localized exceedances of the federal and/or State ambient air quality standards
(NAAQS/CAAQS). Collectively, these are referred to as localized significance thresholds (LSTs). Based on
the scope and scale of the Proposed Project, it is not anticipated that Project construction would involve
LST construction impacts greater than those identified in SEIR No. 339. In accordance with SEIR No. 339
MM 2-2, Project construction would demonstrate compliance with SCAQMD Rule 403 to reduce impacts
to nearby sensitive receptors. In addition, the Project would demonstrate compliance with SEIR No. 339
MM 2-1 (criteria for construction equipment) and MM 2-3 (detailed construction and demolition [C&D]
recycling and waste reduction measure) to reduce on -site and export -related construction emissions.
Final I May 2022 3.15 Environmental Analysis
SUBSEQUENT ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT REPORT ADDENDUM
Platinum Triangle Fire Station No. 12 Project
Compliance with SEIR No. 339 MM 2-1 through MM 2-3 would reduce LST construction impacts to a less
than significant level. Therefore, sensitive receptors would not be subject to a significant air quality impact
during construction and level of impact would not increase from that identified in SEIR No. 339.
Carbon Monoxide Hotspots
CO emissions are a function of vehicle idling time, meteorological conditions, and traffic flow. Under
certain extreme meteorological conditions, CO concentrations near a congested roadway or intersection
may reach unhealthful levels (i.e., adversely affecting residents, schoolchildren, hospital patients, the
elderly, etc.). The SCAQMD requires a quantified assessment of CO hotspots when a project increases the
volume -to -capacity ratio (also called the intersection capacity utilization [ICU]) by 0.02 (two percent) for
any intersection with an existing level of service LOS D or worse. Because traffic congestion is highest at
intersections, where vehicles queue and are subject to reduced speeds, these hot spots are typically
produced at intersections.
The Project involves the construction of a two-story fire station and related improvements and would not
generate significant additional vehicle trips beyond those identified in SEIR No. 339; refer to Section 3.17.
Thus, the Proposed Project would not increase the ICU or nearby intersections to warrant a CO hotspot
analysis. Impacts would be less than significant, and the level of impact would not increase from that
identified in SEIR No. 339.
Significance Determination: No substantial increase in the level of impact from previous analysis.
d) Would the project result in other emissions (such as those leading to odors) adversely
affecting a substantial number of people?
This impact threshold was modified by the OPR in 2018. The changes to this threshold of significance
consist of refinements and clarifications of existing requirements. Although the specific language for this
threshold of significance has changed, the analysis was considered in the SEIR No. 339 on page 5.2-27.
Previous Significance Determination: SEIR No. 339 concluded that PTMLUP buildout would involve
less than significant impacts concerning objectionable odors with the incorporation of SEIR No. 339 MM
2-10. MM 2-10 applies to projects located within 1,000 feet of an industrial facility that emits substantial
odors (e.g., wastewater treatment plants, food processing facilities, coffee roasters).
Project -Specific Analysis: Land uses generally associated with odor complaints include agricultural
uses (livestock and farming), wastewater treatment plants, food processing plants, chemical plants,
composting operations, refineries, landfills, dairies, and fiberglass molding facilities. The Project proposes
the construction of a fire station and does not contain land uses typically associated with emitting
objectionable odors. Potential odor sources associated with Project implementation may result from
construction equipment exhaust and the application of asphalt during construction activities. However,
standard construction requirements would minimize odor impacts from construction. Construction odor
emissions would be intermittent in nature over a temporary period, would disperse rapidly, would not
affect a substantial number of people, and would cease upon completion of the respective phase of
construction. Additionally, construction activities would be required to comply with SCAQMD Rule 402
to prevent occurrences of public nuisances. Operation of the new fire station would not create
objectionable odors and SEIR No. 339 MM 2-10 is not required. As such, the Project's potential
construction -related and operational odor impacts are considered less than significant, and the level of
impact would not increase from that identified in SEIR No. 339.

Previous Significance Determination: The Initial Study for SEIR No. 339 concluded that no native
biological resources exist within the Platinum Triangle due to the site's developed and disturbed nature.
The Initial Study found that buildout of the PTMLUP would not impact candidate, sensitive, or special -
status species and no mitigation was necessary. Because there were no impacts, these resources were
not further analyzed in SEIR No. 339.
Project -Specific Analysis: The Proposed Project would construct a fire station facility on an existing
paved parking lot with no landscaping. Due to the highly disturbed nature of the Project site and
surrounding areas, the Project site would not adversely impact candidate, sensitive, or special status
biological resources. Therefore, no impact would occur, and the level of impact would not increase from

would not impact riparian habitat or other sensitive natural communities and no mitigation was
necessary. Because there were no impacts, these resources were not further analyzed in SEIR No. 339.
Project -Specific Analysis: Serving as a paved parking lot, the Project site is heavily disturbed with
impervious surfaces and surrounding uses are urban and built out. The Project site does not contain
riparian habitats within, nor in the immediate vicinity of the Project site. As such, no impacts to riparian

Platinum Triangle Fire Station No. 12 Project
Project -Specific Analysis: Due to the highly disturbed nature of the Project site and surrounding areas,
the Project site does not currently function as a migratory corridor or linkage. The extensive amount of
existing urban development along with the existing roadways, including South State College Boulevard,
East Gene Autry Way, and East Katella Avenue, creates a highly fragmented, noncontiguous landscape
that is not conducive to substantial wildlife movement. Further, the Project site does not contain any trees
or other vegetation on -site. Therefore, nesting bird protected by the Migratory Bird Treaty Act (MBT),
which governs the taking, killing, possession, transportation, and importation of migratory birds, their
eggs, parts, and nests would not be impacted as a result of Project implementation. Therefore, no impacts
associated with wildlife movement corridors or nursery sites would occur, and the level of impact would
not increase from those levels identified in SEIR No. 339.
Significance Determination: No substantial increase in the level of impact from previous analysis.
e) Would the project conflict with any local policies or ordinances protecting biological
resources, such as a tree preservation policy or ordinance?
Previous Significance Determination: The Initial Study for SEIR No. 339 concluded that the Platinum
Triangle area was not subject to a tree preservation ordinance or other local regulation protecting
biological resources; thus, PTMLUP buildout would not conflict with local policies or ordinances protecting
biological resources and no mitigation was necessary. Because there were no impacts, this topic was not
further analyzed in SEIR No. 339.
Project -Specific Analysis: Pursuant to Anaheim Municipal Code Chapter 11.12, Designation of
Landmark Trees, the Anaheim City Council has the authority to designate any tree on public property as a
landmark tree. Anaheim Municipal Code Section 13.12.080, Interference with Street Trees — Permission
Required, states that no person shall remove a street tree without the written permission of the Anaheim
Director of Community Services.
The Proposed Project does not contain any trees on -site. However, street trees occur along South State
College Boulevard. Although it is not anticipated that street trees would be removed during Project
construction, if during final design it is determined that street trees would be impacted, the Project would
adhere to the Anaheim Municipal Code Chapter 11.12 and Section 13.12.080. As such, the Proposed
Project would not conflict with any local policies or ordinances protecting biological resources. Therefore,
no impacts associated with local policies or ordinances would occur, and the level of impact would not
increase from that identified in SEIR No. 339.
Significance Determination: No substantial increase in the level of impact from previous analysis.
f) Would the project conflict with the provisions of an adopted Habitat Conservation Plan,
Natural Community Conservation Plan, or other approved local, regional, or State habitat

Previous Significance Determination: The Initial Study for SEIR No. 339 concluded that the Platinum
Triangle is not affected by a habitat conservation plan (HCP), natural community conservation plan
(NCCP), or other adopted local, regional, or State habitat conservation plan; thus, PTMLUP buildout would
not conflict with the provisions of an adopted HCP, NCCP, or other approved local, regional, or State

Would the project cause a substantial adverse change in the significance of a historical
resource pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Section 15064.5?
This impact threshold was modified by the OPR in 2018. The changes to this threshold of significance
consist of refinements and clarifications of existing requirements. Although the specific language for this
threshold of significance has changed, the analysis was considered on page 32 of the Initial Study
prepared for the SEIR No. 339.
Previous Significance Determination: The Initial Study for SEIR No. 339 concluded that the Platinum
Triangle does not contain any historical resources as defined by CEQA Guidelines Section 15064.5. The
Platinum Triangle is not located within the Anaheim Colony Historic District and none of the structures
within the PTMLUP area were identified on the Qualified Historic Structures list of the Citywide Historic
Preservation Plan. No known historic archaeological sites within the PTMLUP were identified. The Initial
Study concluded that no impacts would occur and no mitigation was necessary. Because there were no
impacts, these resources were not further analyzed in SEIR No. 339.
Project -Specific Analysis: Historic resources generally consist of buildings, structures, improvements,
and remnants associated with a significant historic event or person(s) and/or having a historically
significant style, design, or achievement. Damage to or demolition of such resources is typically a
significant impact. Impacts to historic resources can occur through direct impacts, such as destruction or
removal, and through indirect impacts, such as a change in the setting of a historic resource. A Historic
Resources Assessment (HRA), which included the site of the proposed fire station, was prepared in July
2020 to support The Stadium District Sub -Area A Project Sustainable Communities Environmental
Assessment (SCEA)."
The Proposed Project would construct a new fire station on an existing surface parking lot that currently
supports the Anaheim Gateway Building and Angel Stadium of Anaheim. Based on the HRA, no known
historic resources are located on -site; however, two resources (i.e., Angel Stadium of Anaheim and the
Big A sign) located within the Project vicinity were assessed for listing as historical resources within the

State register and local ordinance. The Angel Stadium of Anaheim was determined to not meet criteria
for listing within the California Register or for designation under the local ordinance for extensive
alteration and for no longer maintaining association to a period of significance. The Big A sign was deemed
eligible for listing in the California Register under Criteria 1 and 3 at the regional level and for designation
as a Historically Significant Structure under Criteria 1 and 3 of the local ordinance. Since the Big A sign is
located approximately 0.45 mile southeast of the Project site, and Project implementation would not
directly or indirectly impact this historic resource. Although potential impacts to the Big A sign as a
historical resource were not analyzed in SEIR No. 332 or SEIR No. 339 and its addenda, the Project would
not impact this historic resource and therefore the level of impact regarding historical resources would
not increase from that identified in the SEIR No. 339.
Significance Determination: No substantial increase in the level of impact from previous analysis.
b) Would the project cause a substantial adverse change in the significance of an
archaeological resource pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Section 15064.5?
Previous Significance Determination: SEIR No. 339 concluded that the PTMLUP area does not contain
any known archaeological resources since the Platinum Triangle area has already been disturbed and the
potential for subsurface resource is remote. There are no known prehistoric/historic archaeological sites
located within the PTMLUP area. No impact to pre -historic or historic archaeological resources were
identified and no mitigation was required. Because there were no impacts, these resources were not
further analyzed in SEIR No. 339.
Project -Specific Analysis: Archaeological sites are locations that contain resources associated with
former human activities and may contain such resources as human skeletal remains, waste from tool
manufacture, tool concentrations, and/or discoloration or accumulation of soil or food remains. As
concluded in SEIR No. 339 and its subsequent addendums, no pre -historic or historic archaeological
resources have been identified in the PTMLUP area. The Proposed Project would occur within a surface
parking lot that has previously been disturbed and graded, that supports the Anaheim Gateway Building
and Angel Stadium of Anaheim that is surrounded by urbanized development. Thus, Project -related
ground disturbing activities would have a remote potential to uncover previously unknown buried
resources. Given that the permitted type and intensity of development would be similar to what was
previously analyzed by SEIR No. 339, the level of impact would not increase from that identified in SEIR
No. 339.
Nonetheless, in compliance with 14 CCR Section 15064.5, if Project construction results in the inadvertent
discovery of subsurface archaeological resources, all construction activities within 100 feet of the find
would immediately halt until a qualified archaeologist that meets the Secretary of the Interior's
Professional Qualification Standards for Archaeology evaluates the significance of the find and determines
whether additional study is warranted. Depending on the significance of the find, the archaeologist may
simply record the find and allow work to continue. If the discovery proves significant under CEQA,
additional work, such as preparation of an archaeological treatment plan, testing, or data recovery, may
be warranted. Compliance with existing State regulatory requirements would ensure impacts concerning
archaeological resources are less than significant, and the level of impact would not increase from that
identified in SEIR No. 339.
Significance Determination: No substantial increase in the level of impact from previous analysis.

c) Would the project disturb any human remains, including those interred outside of formal

Previous Significance Determination: The Initial Study for SEIR No. 339 determined that the Platinum
Triangle does not contain human remains, including those outside of formal cemeteries since the PTMLUP
area has already been disturbed and the potential for any subsurface cultural resources is remote. The
Initial Study for SEIR No. 339 determined that the PTMLUP would have no impact to human remains and
no mitigation was necessary. Because there were no impacts, these resources were not further analyzed
in SEIR No. 339.
Project -Specific Analysis: Consistent with the findings of the Initial Study for SEIR No. 339, it is not
anticipated that human remains or informal cemetery areas are present on the Project site; however, all
ground -disturbing activities, such as grading or excavation have the potential to inadvertently disturb
previously unknown buried human remains. If human remains are found, those remains would require
proper treatment in accordance with applicable laws. PRC Section 5097.98 and Health and Safety Code
Sections 7050.5 through 7055 describe the general provisions regarding human remains, including the
requirements if any human remains are accidentally discovered during Project construction.
As required by State law, procedures set forth in PRC Section 5097.98 would be implemented, including
notification of the County Coroner, notification of the Native American Heritage Commission, and
consultation with the individual identified by the Native American Heritage Commission to be the "most
likely descendant." Compliance with existing State regulations, which detail the appropriate actions
necessary in the unlikely event that human remains are uncovered, would ensure that Project
implementation does not impact human remains, and the level of impact would not increase from that
identified in SEIR No. 339.

3.6 ENERGY
The previously certified SEIR No. 339 did not evaluate energy as it was not required in the CECIA Guidelines
at the time SEIR No. 339 was prepared.
On October 26, 2010, the City of Anaheim certified the SEIR No. 339 that analyzed the potential impacts
associated with development of the revised Platinum Triangle Expansion Project. Although this previous
environmental document did not include an energy analysis, a supplemental environmental analysis of
energy impacts cannot be required absent new information related to the topic. The implementation of
project design features and mitigation measures related to energy efficiency have typically been
incorporated into a project's air quality analysis. Additionally, Public Resources Code Section 21100(b)(3)
and CECIA Guidelines Section 15126.4 require EIRs to describe, where relevant, the wasteful, inefficient,
and unnecessary consumption of energy caused by a project. Thus, the effect of energy usage could have
been raised in 2010 when the City considered the EIR. A challenge to an EIR must be brought within 30
days of the lead agency's notice of approval. (Pub. Resources Code, § 21167[b].) Under Public Resources
Code Section 21166(c), an agency may not require a supplemental environmental review unless new
information, which was not known and could not have been known at the time the EIR was approved,
becomes available. After a project has been subjected to environmental review, the statutory
presumption flips in favor of the project proponent and against further review. (Moss v. County of
Humboldt [2008] 162 Cal.App.4th 1041, 1049-1050.) "'[S]ection 21166 comes into play precisely because
in-depth review has already occurred [and] the time for challenging the sufficiency of the original EIR has
long since expired."' (Id., 1050.) There is no competent evidence of new information of severe impact,
and thus the City may rely on an addendum. Accordingly, the City finds that energy is not "new
information" under Public Resources Code Section 21166.
Would the project:
a. Result in a potentially significant environmental impact
due to wasteful, inefficient, or unnecessary consumption
of energy resources during project construction or
oeration?
b. Conflict with or obstruct a State or local plan for
renewable energy or energy efficiency?

a) Would the project result in a potentially significant environmental impact due to
wasteful, inefficient, or unnecessary consumption of energy resources during project
construction or operation?
Previous Significance Determination: As detailed in SEIR No. 339, project implementation would be
required to comply with mandated energy efficiency programs and regulations including the California
Building Energy Efficiency Standards (Title 24) of the California Building Code (CBC). The Public Utility
Analysis (Impacts 5.10-5 (Electricity) and 5.10-6 (Natural Gas)) in SEIR No. 339 analyzed potential
electricity and natural gas demands resulting from development of the Approved Project and adopted
feasible mitigation measures (SEIR No. 339 Mitigation Measures 2-1, 2-6, and SEIR No. 332 10-21 through
10-27) to reduce wasteful, inefficient, or unnecessary consumption of energy resources during project

construction and operation. In addition, SEIR No. 339 identified mitigation measures to reduce vehicle
trips which would reduce fuel consumption from transportation (e.g., SEIR No. 339 Mitigation Measures
9-1 and 9-2). These measures and other uniformly applicable development policies and standards would
substantially mitigate energy effects.
Project -Specific Analysis: Energy would be consumed throughout the construction and operation of
the proposed new fire station. Energy required during construction includes energy used for the
transportation of building materials, manufacturing of building materials, and the actual construction of
buildings and infrastructure. During Project operation, energy use would be associated with building
heating and cooling, use of consumer products, lighting, and vehicular traffic.
The Project would not result in an increase in construction -related or operational energy demand beyond
that anticipated for the Revised Platinum Triangle Expansion Project as the SEIR No. 339 contemplated
the construction of three fire stations. The Project proposes the construction of a two-story fire station
with an emergency power generator capable of carrying the full load of all site/station electrical circuits.
Based on the scale and scope of the Project, the Proposed Project would not have the potential to result
in a significant environmental impact due to wasteful, inefficient, or unnecessary consumption of energy
resources. The Project would be required to submit energy calculations that demonstrate each new
structure exceeds Title 24 standards by 10 percent (SEIR No. 339 MM 2-6, and SEIR No. 332 MM 10-21)
and would be subject to several specified Title 24 and other energy saving practices (SEIR No. 339 MM 2-
1, SEIR No. 332 MM 10-22, MM 10-24, MM 10-26, MM 10-27). Further, given that the construction of a
new fire station (i.e., the Proposed Project) was anticipated within the Platinum Triangle as part of regional
growth forecasts as previously analyzed by SEIR No. 339, it is not anticipated that the level of impact in
regard to energy would increase from that identified in SEIR No. 339. Thus, the Proposed Project would
not result in a substantial environmental impact due to wasteful, inefficient, or unnecessary consumption
of energy resources during Project construction or operation and a less than significant impact would
occur. As noted above, the City has determined that energy does not constitute new significant
information under Public Resources Code Section 21166.
Significance Determination: No increase in significant impacts has resulted.
b) Would the project conflict with or obstruct a State or local plan for renewable energy or
energy efficiency?
Previous Significance Determination: SEIR No. 339 determined that the project would be required to
comply with the California Building Energy Efficiency Standards of the CBC. In addition, mitigation
measures were included in ensure structural development exceeds Title 24 standards by 10 percent and
is subject to Title 24 energy saving practices (SEIR No. 339 MM 2-1, MM 2-6, MM 9-1, MM 9-2, MM 10-
24, MM 10-26, MM 10-27 and SEIR No. 332 Mitigation Measures 10-21 and 10-22).
Project -Specific Analysis: As discussed above, the Project would be required to comply with all
applicable energy efficiency programs and regulations, including SEIR No. 339 MM 2-1, MM 2-6, MM 10-
24, MM 10-26, MM 10-27 and SEIR No. 332 MMs 10-21 and 10-22. Impacts in this regard would be less
than significant. Additionally, as noted above, the City has determined that energy does not constitute
new information under Public Resources Code Section 21166.
Significance Determination: No increase in significant impacts has resulted.

i) Rupture of a known earthquake fault, as delineated on the most recent Alquist-Priolo
Earthquake Fault Zoning Map issued by the State Geologist for the area or based on
other substantial evidence of a known fault? Refer to Division of Mines and Geology
Special Publication 42.
Previous Significance Determination: The Initial Study for SEIR No. 339 concluded that the PTMLUP
area is not underlain by Alquist-Priolo Earthquake Fault Zone; thus, PTMLUP buildout would not involve
impacts associated with earthquake fault rupture and no mitigation was necessary. Because there were
no impacts, these impacts were not further analyzed in SEIR No. 339.
Project -Specific Analysis: The Project site, like the rest of Southern California, is situated within a
seismically active region as the result of being located near the active margin between the North American
and Pacific tectonic plates. However, the Project site is not located within an Alquist-Priolo Earthquake
Fault Zone.12 According to the Geotechnical Report prepared for the Project, the Peralta Hills fault is the
closest active fault to the Project site, which is located approximately 2.77 miles to the northeast.
Therefore, no impacts associated with fault rupture would result, and the level of impact from the
Proposed Project would not increase from that identified in SEIR No. 339.
Significance Determination: No substantial increase in the level of impact from previous analysis.
ii) Strong seismic ground shaking?
Previous Significance Determination: The Initial Study for SEIR No. 339 concluded that the PTMLUP
area may be exposed to impacts from earthquakes, including strong seismic ground shaking; however,
impacts associated with strong seismic ground shaking would be less than significant with compliance
with building standards during final engineering of the projects within the Platinum Triangle area and SEIR
No. 332 MM 5.3-1 through MM 5.3-6. Because there were less than significant impacts, these impacts
were not further analyzed in SEIR No. 339.
Project -Specific Analysis:
As indicated in Response 3.7 (a)(i), the Peralta Hills fault is in proximity to the Proposed Project, which has
the potential to induce strong seismic ground shaking. The Project's design, engineering, and construction
would be subject to all applicable seismic design requirements in place to protect infrastructure from the
effects of seismic ground shaking including regulations contained in the California Building Code (CBC) and
the Municipal Code, which are uniformly applicable development policies or standards adopted by the
City. The CBC includes standards related to soils and foundations, structural design, building materials,
and structural testing and inspections. Additionally, Municipal Code Section 17.04.110, ensures
compliance with the recommendations of the Project specific Geotechnical Report. The Proposed Project
would involve the construction of a new fire station with habitable space (i.e., dormitory rooms); however,
following conformance with the Municipal Code, existing CBC regulations, and SEIR No. 332 MM 5.3-1
through MM 5.3-4 and MM 5.3-6, Project implementation would not substantially increase the potential
for human injury, loss, or death as a result of seismic ground shaking. Given that the permitted type and
intensity of development (i.e., a new fire station) would be similar to what was previously analyzed by
SEIR No. 339, the level of impact would not increase from that identified in SEIR No. 339. For these

reasons, impacts concerning strong seismic ground shaking would be less than significant, and the level
of impact associated with the Proposed Project would not increase from that identified in SEIR No. 339.
Significance Determination: No substantial increase in the level of impact from previous analysis.
iii) Seismic -related ground failure, including liquefaction?
Previous Significance Determination: SEIR No. 339 concluded that impacts associated with seismic -
related ground failure, including liquefaction would be less than significant following conformance with
the UBC, CBC, Municipal Code, and SEIR No. 332 No. 332 MM 5.3-1 through MM 5.3-6. Because there
were less than significant impacts, these impacts were not further analyzed in SEIR No. 339.
Project -Specific Analysis: According to the Geotechnical Report, the Project site is not prone to
liquefaction. Settlement following a seismic event would likely be minimal given the groundwater depth
is 50 feet and subsurface materials below 20 feet below ground surface (bgs) are medium dense to dense;
however, the upper 15 to 20 feet of sandy soils would be susceptible to immediate static settlement under
new foundations loads. Additionally, sandy soils would also be susceptible to dynamic settlement during
a strong earthquake.
The Project would implement project -specific recommendations identified in the Geotechnical Report per
Municipal Code Section 17.04.110, including those pertaining to plan review, excavation and grading,
earthwork, foundations, slabs, retaining walls, utility trenches, soil corrosion, and pavement. Additionally,
the Project would be subject to conformance with the California Building Standards Code seismic
engineering standards, and SEIR No. 332 MM 5.3-1 through MM 5.3-4 and MM 5.3-6. Given that the
permitted type and intensity of development would be similar to what was previously analyzed by SEIR
No. 339, the level of impact would not increase from that identified in SEIR No. 339. Impacts concerning
seismic -related ground failure would be less than significant following implementation of Municipal Code
Section 17.04.110, CBC regulations, and SEIR No. 332 MM 5.3-1 through MM 5.3-4 and MM 5.3-6, and the
level of impact for the Proposed Project would not increase from that identified in SEIR No. 339.
Significance Determination: No substantial increase in the level of impact from previous analysis.
iv) Landslides?
Previous Significance Determination: The Initial Study for the SEIR No. 339 concluded that the PTM LUP
area does not contain any major slopes on or in the immediate vicinity which would represent a landslide
hazard; thus, PTMLUP buildout would not involve impacts associated with landslides and no mitigation
was necessary. Because there were no impacts, these resources were not further analyzed in SEIR No.
339.
Project -Specific Analysis: According to the Geotechnical Report, the Project site is not located within
an area susceptible to seismically induced landslides. Therefore, no impacts associated with landslides
would occur, and the level of impact would not increase from that identified in SEIR No. 339.
Significance Determination: No substantial increase in the level of impact from previous analysis.

Platinum Triangle Fire Station No.12 Project
b) Would the project result in substantial soil erosion or the loss of topsoil?
Previous Significance Determination: The Initial Study for SEIR No. 339 concluded soils within the
PTMLUP have a slight erosion potential, but buildout would involve less than significant impacts
concerning substantial soil erosion and loss of topsoil following conformance with existing regulatory
requirements for erosion control and SEIR No. 332 MM 5.3-2. In addition, development projects involving
one or more acres would require compliance with a National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System
(NPDES) permit and implementation of a stormwater pollution prevention plan (SWPPP) during
construction for erosion control. Adherence to existing regulatory requirements would reduce erosion
impacts to less than significant levels. Because there were less than significant impacts, these impacts
were not further analyzed in SEIR No. 339.
Project -Specific Analysis: Soil erosion is most prevalent in unconsolidated alluvium and surficial soils
and in areas that have slopes. According to SEIR No. 339, the Platinum Triangle area includes soils with
slight erosion potential. The Proposed Project would occur on a generally flat, paved surface parking lot
that supports the Anaheim Gateway Building and Angel Stadium of Anaheim, where the potential for soil
erosion would be minimal.
Nevertheless, the Project would be required to adhere to Municipal Code Section 17.04.110 and CBC
regulations, as applicable. Further, in accordance with NPDES requirements, Project implementation
would require preparation of a SWPPP for approval prior to grading activities (SEIR No. 332 MM 5.3-2),
Municipal Code Chapter 10.09, National Pollution Discharge Elimination system (NPDES). The SWPPP
would include site -specific best management practices (BMPs) to be implemented with the Project to
prevent erosion, minimize siltation from impacting downstream water bodies, and protect water quality.
All grading operations, land clearing, loading, stockpiling, landscaping, and construction haul routes would
also be subject to SCAQMD Rule 403, Fugitive Dust Emissions, as required by SEIR No. 332 MM 2-2.
Compliance with SCAQMD Rule 403, as well as preparation of a SWPPP would reduce the potential for on -
site and off -site erosion impacts. Additionally, in accordance with NPDES requirements and Chapter 7 of
the Orange County Drainage Area Management Plan, Project implementation would require preparation
of a Water Quality Management Plan (WQMP) priorto the issuance of a grading permit (SEIR No. 339 MM
5.3-2). The WQMP would include Low Impact Development (LID), Source Control, Site Design, and/or
Treatment BMPs that would be incorporated into Project design to capture and treat stormwater runoff.
Given that the permitted type and intensity of development would be similar to what was previously
analyzed by SEIR No. 339, the level of impact would not increase from that identified in SEIR No. 339.
Therefore, impacts associated with erosion would be less than significant, and the level of impact for the
Proposed Project would not increase from that identified in SEIR No. 339.
Significance Determination: No substantial increase in the level of impact from previous analysis.
c) Would the project be located on a geologic unit or soil that is unstable, or that would
become unstable as a result of the project, and potentially result in on- or off -site
landslide, lateral spreading, subsidence, liquefaction or collapse?
Previous Significance Determination: The Initial Study for SEIR No. 339 concluded that the Platinum
Triangle may be exposed to impacts from unstable soil, including liquefaction, lateral spreading,
subsidence, and/or collapse. SEIR No. 339 concluded that impacts associated with unstable soils were less
than significant with compliance with building standards during final engineering of the projects within
the Platinum Triangle area and with SEIR No. MM 5.3-1 through MM 5.3-6. Because there were less than
significant impacts, these impacts were not further analyzed in SEIR No. 339.

d) Would the project be located on expansive soil, as defined in Table 18-1-B of the Uniform
Building Code (1994), creating substantial direct or indirect risks to life or property?
This impact threshold was modified by the OPR in 2018. The changes to this threshold of significance
consist of refinements and clarifications of existing requirements. Although the specific language for this
threshold of significance has changed, the analysis was considered on page 33 of the Initial Study
prepared for the SEIR No. 339.
Previous Significance Determination: The Initial Study for SEIR No. 339 indicated that the near -surface
soils within the PTLMUP are generally medium -dense, fine and fine -to -medium sand with occasional
traces of gravel and infrequent streams of silt. Based on these characteristics, the expansion potential for
these soils is considered low. In addition, development projects would require compliance with the
California Building Standards Code and Municipal Code Title 17. Adherence to existing regulatory
requirements would reduce expansive soil impacts to less than significant. Therefore, this topic was not
further addressed in SEIR No. 339.
Project -Specific Analysis: Expansive soils are those that undergo volume changes as moisture content
fluctuates, swelling substantially when wet or shrinking when dry. Soil expansion can damage structures
by cracking foundations, causing settlement, and distorting structural elements. According to the
Geotechnical Report, the expansion potential for surface soils within the Project area (generally sandy
soils) is considered very low. Therefore, no impacts associated with expansive soils would occur. Given
that the permitted type and intensity of development would be similar to what was previously analyzed
by SEIR No. 339, the level of impact would not increase from that identified in SEIR No. 339. Therefore,
the level of impact for the Proposed Project would not increase from that identified in SEIR No. 339.
Significance Determination: No substantial increase in the level of impact from previous analysis.

e) Would the project have soils incapable of adequately supporting the use of septic tanks
or alternative wastewater disposal systems where sewers are not available for the
disposal of wastewater?
Previous Significance Determination: The Initial Study for the SEIR No. 339 concluded that the
Approved Project would not include the use of septic tanks or alternative sewer disposal systems; thus,
PTMLUP buildout would not involve impacts associated with septic tanks or alternative sewer disposal
systems and no mitigation was necessary. Therefore, this topic was not further addressed in SEIR No. 339.
Project -Specific Analysis: The Project does not propose septic tanks or alternative wastewater disposal
systems. Therefore, no impact would occur, and the level of impact from the Proposed Project would not
increase from that identified in SEIR No. 339.
Significance Determination: No substantial increase in the level of impact from previous analysis.
f) Would the project directly or indirectly destroy a unique paleontological resource or site
or unique geologic feature?
This impact threshold was moved from Cultural Resources to the Geology and Soils impact category by
the OPR in 2018. The analysis was considered in the SEIR No. 339 Appendix A.
Previous Significance Determination: The Initial Study for SEIR No. 339 concluded that the PTMLUP
area has already been disturbed and thus the potential for any subsurface paleontological resources is
remote; thus, PTMLUP buildout would not impact paleontological resources and no mitigation was
necessary. Because there were no impacts, these resources were not further analyzed in SEIR No. 339.
Project -Specific Analysis: The Project site is located within a surface parking lot that supports the
Anaheim Gateway Building and Angel Stadium of Anaheim, surrounded by developed uses. As the Project
site is located within a developed area subject to past disturbance, the potential for the inadvertent
discovery of paleontological resources is considered remote. Therefore, the Project would not impact
paleontological resources, and the level of impact would not increase from that identified in SEIR No. 339.
The Project site is situated within a developed and urbanized area, and there are no unique geologic
features within the Project vicinity. Therefore, the Project would not impact unique geologic features, and
the level of impact would not increase from that identified in SEIR No. 339.
Significance Determination: No substantial increase in the level of impact from previous analysis.

a) Would the project generate greenhouse gas emissions, either directly or indirectly, that
may have a significant impact on the environment?
Previous Significance Determination: SEIR No. 339 concluded that PTMLUP buildout had the potential
to generate greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, either directly or indirectly, that may have a significant
impact on the environment. Specifically, SEIR No. 339 found that the project evaluated in the SEIR would
generate substantially more GHG emissions compared to the adopted PTMLUP and would cumulatively
contribute to climate change impacts in California. Mitigation Measures from several environmental
sections of SEIR No. 339 were identified to reduce GHG emissions, including: MM 2-3, MM 2-5, MM 2-6,
MM 9-1, MM 9-2, MM 9-12, MM 9-13, MM 9-14, MM 9-15, MM 10-7, MM 10-9, MM 10-10, MM 10-12,
MM 10-13, MM 10-14, MM 10-18, MM 10-19, MM 10-20, MM 10-21, MM 10-22, and MM 10-24. Despite
implementation of the abovementioned mitigation measures, impacts related to GHG emissions were
determined to remain significant and unavoidable, and a Statement of Overriding Considerations was
adopted by the City Council when SEIR No. 339 was certified.
Project -Specific Analysis: Project construction would generate GHG emissions, as GHGs would be
emitted through the operation of construction equipment and from worker and vendor vehicles, each of
which typically use fossil -based fuels to operate. The combustion of fossil -based fuels creates GHG
emissions such as carbon dioxide (CO2), methane (CH4), and nitrous oxide (1420). Furthermore, CH4 is
emitted during the fueling of heavy equipment. Despite the Project's potential to generate construction -
related GHGs, the improvements proposed underthis Addendum (i.e., the construction of a two-story fire
station) would not significantly worsen the Project's potential to result in direct or indirect construction -
related GHG emissions beyond what was analyzed in the SEIR No. 339. Construction activities would be
similar to those identified under SEIR No. 339 and impacts would be less than significant.
Construction and operation of the proposed fire station would result in GHG emissions. However, it is not
anticipated that the Project would result in significant GHG emissions above what was identified in the
SEIR No. 339. As discussed in Section 1.3, the Approved Project identified upgrades to existing
infrastructure, including an additional fire station, to serve the proposed increased intensity of land uses.
Given that an additional fire station (i.e., the Proposed Project) within the Platinum Triangle was
anticipated as part of regional growth and development as previously analyzed by SEIR No. 339, and the
level of impact in regard to GHG emissions would not increase from that identified in SEIR No. 339.
Further, the Project would be required to submit energy calculations priorto issuance of building permits
that demonstrate the new structure exceeds Title 24 standards by 10 percent (SEIR No. 339 MM 2-6 and
Final I May 2022 3-43 Environmental Analysis

Platinum Triangle Fire Station No. 12 Project
SEIR No. 332 MM 10-21) and would be subject to several specified Title 24 energy saving practices (SEIR
No. 332 MM 10-22). Additionally, as discussed in Section 3.17. the Project is considered to have a less
than significant transportation impact due to the nominal increase in vehicle trips as a result of the
Proposed Project. Based on the scope, scale, and use of the Project, it is not anticipated that GHG
emissions would exceed the SCAQMD standards beyond what SEIR No. 339 concluded, which was that
despite incorporation of the required Mitigation Measures (SEIR No. 339 MM 2-3, MM 2-5 through MM
2-7, and SEIR No. 332 MM 10-9, MM 10-12, MM 10-13, MM 10-14, MM 10-18 through MM 10-22, and
MM 10-24), GHG emissions would remain significant and unavoidable. Thus, GHG emissions associated
with Project implementation would not increase from that identified in SEIR No. 339.
Significance Determination: No substantial increase in the level of impact from previous analysis.
b) Conflict with an applicable plan, policy or regulation adopted for the purpose of reducing
the emissions of greenhouse gases?
Previous Significance Determination: SEIR No. 339 concluded that the Platinum Triangle would not
conflict with an applicable plan, policy, or regulation adopted for reducing the emissions of GHGs, as the
Approved Project would be consistent with Statewide and regional GHG reduction goals. A less than
significant impact was identified.
Project -Specific Analysis: Assembly Bill (AB) 32 is the legal mandate requiring that Statewide GHG
emissions be reduced to 1990 levels by 2020. In addition, Statewide goals for GHG reductions in the years
beyond 2020 have been recently codified into State law with the passage of Senate Bill (SB) 32. Signed
into law on September 2016, SB 32 codifies the 2030 target in the recent Executive Order B 30 15 (40
percent below 1990 levels by 2030). The bill authorizes the State board to adopt an interim GHG emissions
level target to be achieved by 2030. SB 32 states that the intent is for the Legislature and appropriate
agencies to adopt complementary policies which ensure that the long-term emissions reductions advance
specified criteria. However, at the time of writing the Initial Study, no specific policies or emissions
reduction mechanisms had been established.
Consistency with SCAG's 2020-2045 RTP/SCS
SCAG's 2020-2045 Regional Transportation Plan/Sustainable Communities Strategy of the Southern
California Association of Governments —ConnectSoCal (2020-2045 RTP/SCS), adopted September3, 2020,
is a long-range visioning plan that balances future mobility and housing needs with economic,
environmental, and public health goals. The 2020-2045 RTP/SCS embodies a collective vision for the
region's future and is developed with input from local governments, county transportation commissions,
tribal governments, nonprofit organizations, businesses, and local stakeholders in Imperial, Los Angeles,
Orange, Riverside, San Bernardino, and Ventura Counties. The 2020-2045 RTP/SCS is forecast to help
California reach its GHG reduction goals by reducing GHG emissions from passenger cars by eight percent
below 2005 levels by 2020 and 19 percent by 2035 in accordance with the most recent CARB targets
adopted in March 2018. The 2020-2045 RTP/SCS contains over 4,000 transportation projects, including
highway improvements, railroad grade separations, bicycle lanes, new transit hubs, and replacement
bridges. These future investments were included in county plans developed by the six -county
transportation commissions and seek to reduce traffic bottlenecks, improve the efficiency of the region's
network, and expand mobility choices. The 2020-2045 RTP/SCS is an important planning document for
the region, allowing project sponsors to qualify for federal funding. In addition, the 2020-2045 RTP/SCS is
supported by a combination of transportation and land use strategies that help the region achieve State

options, providing employment and public services near residential uses.
The Project is located near major roadways (i.e., South State College
Boulevard) and transit centers (less than one mile west of the Anaheim

Consistency with City's Greenhouse Gas Reduction Plan
The Greenhouse Gas Reduction Plan: Sustainable Electric & Water Initiative (2020 GGRP), which applies
to all users within the Anaheim Public Utilities' (APU's) service area, was developed in May 2020 to provide
an update to the first of such plan developed in 2015. The 2020 GGRP provides a vision for the future of
Anaheim's electric and water resources to be sustainable and environmentally -friendly, while continuing
to be affordable and reliable for the benefit of APU's residential and business customers. The 2020 GGRP
sets new targets for 2030 and 2045 and would be consistent with State policies and the recently enacted
Senate Bill 100 that envisions a carbon -free energy future in California. The 2020 GGRP outlines notable
accomplishments from 2015 to 2020, and focuses on utility programs and customer initiatives that
capture important planning goals related to GHG reduction. Identified programs are designed at the local
level to meet the needs of the Anaheim community.
As described above, the proposed fire station would provide public services near residential uses. The
Project would be required to submit energy calculations that demonstrate each new structure exceeds
Title 24 standards by 10 percent (SEIR No. 339 MM 2-6, No. 332 MM 10-21) and would be subject to
several specified Title 24 and other energy saving practices (SEIR No. 339 MM 2-1, SEIR No. 332 MM 10-
22, MM 10-24, MM 10-26, MM 10-27); refer to Section 3.6. Additionally, the Project is located near major
roadways (i.e., South State College Boulevard), and is located less than one mile of the major transit
centers (i.e., Anaheim Regional Transportation Intermodal Center). Thus, the Project would improve
mobility, accessibility, reliability, and travel safety for people and good.
Conclusion
As proposed, the Project would not conflict with the 2020-2045 RTP/SCS or the City's GGRP. Thus, the
Project would not conflict with an adopted plan, policy, or regulation pertaining to GHGs. Further, as
discussed above, an additional fire station (i.e., the Proposed Project) was anticipated within the Platinum
Triangle as previously analyzed by SEIR No. 339. As such, the level of impact in regard to GHGs would not
increase from that identified in SEIR No. 339. Therefore, the Proposed Project would not result in new
GHG impacts different from those identified for SEIR No. 339 and the level of impact would not increase
from that identified in SEIR No. 339.
Significance Determination: No substantial increase in the level of impact from previous analysis.

Previous Significance Determination: The Initial Study for SEIR No. 339 concluded that PTMLUP
buildout would allow for the continued operation of businesses that use and store various hazardous
materials. In addition, the PTMLUP has designated the northern periphery of the PTMLUP area as
industrial. These areas may handle hazardous materials; however, businesses are required to obtain
permits and maintain records regarding the storage, use, and disposal of hazardous material. The Initial
Study concluded that development of the PTMLUP would not change the existing condition of the project
area and/or increase the use of hazardous materials in the area, and that adhering to the existing
permitting process would ensure that less than significant hazard to the public orthe environment occur.
Because these impacts were considered less than significant, this was not further analyzed in SEIR No.

Platinum Triangle Fire Station No. 12 Project
Project -Specific Analysis: Construction may involve temporary hazards related to hazardous materials
transport and use, including those used for typical construction activities (i.e., diesel fuel, motor oil, etc.).
The Project's construction contractor(s) would be required to uphold standard best management
practices to ensure that all hazardous materials are stored, transported, used, and disposed of in
accordance with federal and State law.
Project operation would involve the use and storage of common hazardous materials (i.e., cleaning
predicts, fuels for landscaping equipment, etc.) used for a fire station. Additionally, an above ground diesel
fuel dispensing tank (AST) and associated pump island would be installed per the currently adopted design
guidelines and in accordance with applicable ASTM International (ASTM) Standards. It is acknowledged
that the City of Anaheim was designated as a Certified Unified Program Agency (CUPA) under the Unified
Program (Senate Bill 1082) and Anaheim Fire & Rescue's (AFD's) Hazardous Materials Section (HMS)
became the administrator of the CUPA programs for Anaheim businesses. As such, installation and
maintenance (including regular inspections) of the AST would be conducted on a routine basis in
accordance with existing laws and regulations.
The Proposed Project would comply with regulations regarding routine use, transportation, and disposal
of hazardous waste. As such, conformance with these standards would effectively avoid and minimize
significant hazards related to the transport, use, and disposal of hazardous materials and would reduce
the Project's impacts to less than significant levels. Further, construction of a new fire station (i.e., the
Proposed Project) was anticipated within the Platinum Triangle as previously analyzed by SEIR No. 339. As
such, the level of impact in regard to the routine transport, use, or disposal of hazardous materials would
not increase from that identified in SEIR No. 339. Thus, Project operations would not create a hazard
related to the transport, use, and disposal of hazardous materials, and the level of impact would not
increase from that identified in SEIR No. 339.
Significance Determination: No substantial increase in the level of impact from previous analysis.
b) Would the project create a significant hazard to the public or the environment through
reasonably foreseeable upset and accident conditions involving the release of hazardous
materials into the environment?
Previous Significance Determination: The Initial Study for SEIR No. 339 concluded that the Platinum
Triangle would not create a significant hazard to the public or environment due to accidental release of
hazardous materials following conformance with existing federal and State regulations. To further reduce
risk of accidental release of hazardous materials into the environment, the Initial Study for SEIR No. 339
recommends implementation of SEIR No. 332 MM 5.4-1 through MM 5.4-7. Implementation of SEIR No.
332 MM 5.4-1 through MM 5.4-7 would ensure that identified hazardous waste and/or hazardous
material is handled and disposed of in the manner specified by the State of California Hazardous
Substances Control Law (Health and Safety Code, Division 20, Chapter 6.5) and according to the
requirements of the California Code of Regulations (CCR, Title 22, Division 4.5. In addition, existing federal
and State regulations that govern hazardous material and waste management help to minimize the
release of hazardous materials into the environment. Because these impacts were considered less than
significant, this was not further analyzed in SEIR No. 339.
Project -Specific Analysis: Refer to Response 3.9(a). Project construction could result in the accidental
release of hazardous substances such as spilling of petroleum -based fuels, lubricants, and other materials
used for construction equipment. Use, storage, transport, and disposal of these materials would be
subject to standard construction safety procedures and controls that would avoid and minimize the

potential for accidental release of hazardous substances into the environment. Standard construction best
management practices would be observed such that any hazardous materials released are appropriately
contained and remediated as required by local, State, and federal law. Additionally, SEIR No. 332 MM 5.4-
1 and MM 5.4-2 requires the proper handlingand disposal of hazardous materials during construction and
operations to reduce the risk of upset or accident of hazardous materials. Conformance with these
standards and mitigation measures from SEIR No. 332 would reduce impacts related to the accidental
release of hazardous materials into the environment to less than significant levels.
Since construction of a new fire station (i.e., the Proposed Project) was anticipated within the Platinum
Triangle as previously analyzed by SEIR No. 339, the level of impact in regard to potential accidental
conditions would not increase from that identified in SEIR No. 339. Thus, the level of impact would not
increase from that identified in SEIR No. 339.
Significance Determination: No substantial increase in the level of impact from previous analysis.
c) Would the project emit hazardous emissions or handle hazardous or acutely hazardous
materials, substances, or waste within one -quarter mile of an existing or proposed
school?
Previous Significance Determination: The Initial Study for SEIR No. 339 concluded that the use and
handling of hazardous materials, substances, and wastes within the PTMLUP would be subject to
conformance with appropriate State and federal rules and regulations through the permitting process and
that no unauthorized use of hazardous materials would be allowed. Thus, although proposed mixed -use
developments could emit hazardous emissions or handle hazardous or acutely hazardous materials,
substances, or wastes within one -quarter mile of an existing or proposed school, impacts would be less
than significant. Because these impacts were considered less than significant, this was not further
analyzed in SEIR No. 339.
Project -Specific Analysis: The nearest school, Paul Revere Elementary School, is located approximately
1.26-mile to the northwest of the Project site at 140 Guinida Lane. No schools are located within one -
quarter mile of the Project site. Thus, no impacts associated with emitting hazardous emissions or
handling hazardous or acutely hazardous materials, substances, or waste within one -quarter mile of an
existing or proposed school would result, and the level of impact would not increase from that identified
in SEIR No. 339.
Significance Determination: No substantial increase in the level of impact from previous analysis.
d) Would the project be located on a site that is included on a list of hazardous materials
sites compiled pursuant to Government Code Section 65962.5 and, as a result, would it
create a significant hazard to the public or the environment?
Previous Significance Determination: The Initial Study for SEIR No. 339 concluded that the Platinum
Triangle would not involve significant impacts concerning hazardous materials sites following
conformance with existing federal and State regulations that govern hazardous material and waste
management. To further reduce risk of accidental release of hazardous materials into the environment,
the Initial Study for SEIR No. 339 recommends implementation of SEIR No. 332 MM 5.4-1 through MM
5.4-7. Because these impacts were considered less than significant, this was not further analyzed in SEIR
No. 339.

Project -Specific Analysis: According to the California Environmental Protection Agency (CaIEPA), the
Project site is not listed pursuant to Government Code Section 65962.5 (also known as the "Cortese
Listing").15 No impacts would result in this regard and the level of impact would not increase from that
identified in SEIR No. 339.
Significance Determination: No substantial increase in the level of impact from previous analysis.
e) For a project located within an airport land use plan or, where such a plan has not been
adopted, within two miles of a public airport or public use airport, would the project
result in a safety hazard or excessive noise for people residing or working in the project
area?
This impact threshold was modified by the OPR in 2018. The changes to this threshold of significance
consist of refinements and clarifications of existing requirements. Although the specific language for this
threshold of significance has changed, the analysis was considered in the SEIR No. 339 Appendix A.
Previous Significance Determination: The Initial Study for SEIR No. 339.concluded that the PTMLUP is
not affected by the Airport Land Use Plan for the Los Alamitos Armed Forces Reserve Center or Fullerton
Municipal Airport; thus, PTMLUP buildout would not result in a safety hazard for people residing or
working in the project area and no mitigation was necessary. Because there were no impacts, this was not
further analyzed in SEIR No. 339.
Project -Specific Analysis: As identified in the Initial Study for SEIR No. 339, the Project site is not located
within an airport land use plan, nor is the area within two miles of a public airport. As such, no impacts
associated with public airport safety hazards would occur, and the level of impact would not increase from
that identified in SEIR No. 339.
Significance Determination: No substantial increase in the level of impact from previous analysis.
f) Would the project impair implementation of or physically interfere with an adopted
emergency response plan or emergency evacuation plan?
Previous Significance Determination: The Initial Study for SEIR No. 339 concluded that the City of
Anaheim's emergency preparedness plan complied with State law and interfaced with other cities and
counties within Southern California and that the City also participates in the Standardized Emergency
Management System (SEMS). The Initial Study concluded that although PTMLUP buildout would intensify
land uses within the Approved Project area, impacts would be less than significant since all new
development would be required to accommodate emergency vehicles. Because these impacts were
considered less than significant, this was not further analyzed in SEIR No. 339.
Project -Specific Analysis: The City of Anaheim's Hazard Mitigation Plan, dated May 9, 2017, was
prepared in response to the Disaster Mitigation Act of 2000 to outline the operations and activities that
would occur in the event of a disaster. The Project site is not specifically situated within any specific hazard
area identified in the Hazard Mitigation Plan. Further, Project construction would not substantially
interfere with emergency evacuation/emergency routes.

Platinum Triangle Fire Station No. 12 Project
The proposed fire station would expand the Anaheim Fire and Rescue's emergency response capabilities
within the Platinum Triangle Expansion area in alignment with the Anaheim Fire & Rescue Strategic Plan
2015-2020 (Recommendation 7 — Begin the implementation of the capital improvement plan during long
term operation). As such, the proposed fire station is anticipated to improve emergency response time in
the Project area. Project implementation would not impair implementation of or physically interfere with
the City of Anaheim's adopted Hazard Mitigation Plan. Overall, Project implementation would result in a
beneficial impact concerning emergency response or evacuation plans; thus, a less than significant impact
would occur in this regard, and the level of impact would not increase from SEIR No. 339.
Significance Determination: No substantial increase in the level of impact from previous analysis.
g) Would the project expose people or structures, either directly or indirectly, to a
significant risk of loss, injury or death involving wildland fires?
This impact threshold was modified by the OPR in 2018. The changes to this threshold of significance
consist of refinements and clarifications of existing requirements. Although the specific language for this
threshold of significance has changed, the analysis was considered in the SEIR No. 339 Appendix A.
Previous Significance Determination: The Initial Study for SEIR No. 339 concluded that PTMLUP
buildout would not expose people or structures to significant risk of loss, injuryordeath involving wildland
fires since the PTMLUP area is developed and no undeveloped wildland areas are in or adjacent to the
PTMLUP area. Since there were no impacts, this was not further analyzed in SEIR No. 339.
Project -Specific Analysis: According to the California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection (CAL
FIRE), the Project site is not identified as a property within a Very High Fire Hazard Severity Zone nor a
State Responsibility Area.16 The Project site is primarily surrounded by urban development and no
undeveloped wildland areas are in or adjacent to the Project area. Therefore, no impacts associated with
wildland fires would occur, and the level of impact would not increase from that identified in SEIR No.
339.
Significance Determination: No substantial increase in the level of impact from previous analysis.

This impact threshold was modified by the OPR in 2018. The changes to this threshold of significance
consist of refinements and clarifications of existing requirements. Although the specific language for this
threshold of significance has changed, the analysis was considered on page 36 of the Initial Study
prepared for the SEIR No. 339.
Previous Significance Determination: The Initial Study for SEIR No. 339 concluded that compliance
with current water quality regulations associated with the City of Anaheim's Grading Ordinance, the
Construction General Permit, the County of Orange Municipal Separate Storm Sewer System (MS4)
Permit, City ofAnaheim's Local Implementation Plan, the Orange County Drainage Area Management Plan
(DAMP), and adopted SEIR No. 339 MM 3-2, which requires the preparation and approval of an Erosion

SUBSEQUENT ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT REPORT ADDENDUM
Platinum Triangle Fire Station No. 12 Project
Plan (WQMP). The SWPPP and WQMP would require implementation of construction and operational
best management practices (BMPs), respectively, to reduce potential water quality impacts. Impacts
related to the violation of water quality standards or waste discharge requirements or degradation of
water quality were concluded to be less than significant. Because these impacts were considered less than
significant, this was not further analyzed in SEIR No. 339.
Project -Specific Analysis:
CONSTRUCTION -RELATED IMPACTS
Surface water quality is subject to federal, State, and local water quality requirements administered and
enforced by the EPA, the California State Water Resources Control Board (SWRCB), and the RWQCB with
cooperation from each county. The principal law governing pollution of the nation's surface waters is the
Clean Water Act (CWA) (formerly the Federal Water Pollution Control Act). Under the CWA, regulatory
requirements for industrial and municipal dischargers were set, as well as requirements for states to adopt
water quality standards.
Construction of the Proposed Project would disturb greater than 1.0 acre of soil; therefore, the Proposed
Project would be required to implement SEIR No. 339 MM 3-2, which requires compliance with NPDES
General Construction Permit requirements pursuant to Municipal Code Chapter 10.9, National Pollution
Discharge Elimination System (NPDES), including preparation of a SWPPP and incorporation of sediment
control BMPs to reduce the potential for offsite and downstream water quality impacts; refer also to
Response 33(b). Implementation of the SWPPP would reduce potential runoff and pollutants associated
with Project construction activities to the maximum extent feasible. According to the Geotechnical
Report, groundwater at the Project site is not expected to be encountered at a depth of less than 50 feet
bgs. Based on the depth of groundwater, groundwater is not anticipated to be encountered during
excavation activities and dewatering activities would not be required. Following conformance with SEIR
No. 339 MM 3-2, as well the Municipal Code grading requirements, the Project's construction -related
impacts to water quality standards would be less than significant, and the level of impact would not
increase from that identified in SEIR No. 339. Given that the permitted type and intensity of development
would be similar to what was previously analyzed by SEIR No. 339, the level of impact would not increase
from that identified in SEIR No. 339.
LONG-TERM OPERATIONAL IMPACTS
Pursuant to Municipal Code Chapter 10.9, National Pollution Discharge Elimination System (NPDES), a
WQMP would be prepared for the Proposed Project that specifies the Low Impact Development (LID),
Source Control, Site Design, and/or Treatment BMPs that would be incorporated into Project design to
capture and treat stormwater runoff to reduce pollutants of concern before conveying the stormwater to
the City's storm drain system, and ultimately to the Santa Ana River. Additionally, the Project site is
currently a paved, impervious surface parking lot and the Project proposes to replace a portion of the
existing impervious area with pervious landscaping. As a result, the Project would decrease impervious
surface area, which would result in a decrease in stormwater runoff and pollutant loading from the Project
site. It is anticipated that on -site stormwater runoff would be primarily conveyed to an existing OCSD drain
located on the northern project boundary. Drainage of the site would be designed to improve capture
flow on -site and stormwater would be collected such that long-term operational impacts to water quality
would be less than significant, and the level of impact would not increase from that identified in SEIR No.
339. Further, conformance with Municipal Code Chapter 10.9 would ensure that appropriate BMP
practices are employed through implementation of a WQMP. Accordingly, the Project's operation -related

impacts to water quality standards would be less than significant, and the level of impact would not
increase from that identified in SEIR No. 339. Given that the permitted type and intensity of development
would be similar to what was previously analyzed by SEIR No. 339, the level of impact would not increase
from that identified in SEIR No. 339.
b) Would the project substantially decrease groundwater supplies or interfere
substantially with groundwater recharge such that the project may impede sustainable
groundwater management of the basin?
This impact threshold was modified by the OPR in 2018. The changes to this threshold of significance
consist of refinements and clarifications of existing requirements. Although the specific language for this
threshold of significance has changed, the analysis was considered in SEIR No. 339, pages 5.3-6 through
5.3-9.
Previous Significance Determination: The Initial Study for SEIR No. 339 concluded that impacts
concerning interfering with groundwater recharge would be less than significant since the Platinum
Triangle is* largely developed with urban uses and does not represent a substantial groundwater
recharging area. However, SEIR No. 339 found that the increased development intensities within the
Platinum Triangle area would result in additional demands on groundwater supplies. To meet projected
water demand, the City would upgrade the initial production rate of a previously proposed new water
well in the Platinum Triangle area and would drill an additional new well at a location to be determined.
SEIR No. 339 concluded that the construction of an additional groundwater well would not substantially
deplete groundwater supplies based on its location near the Orange County Water District (OCWD)
Groundwater Basin. SEIR No. 339 determined that conformance with existing regulatory requirements
and standard conditions of approval would ensure the impacts related to groundwater supplies are less
than significant.
Project -Specific Analysis:
GROUNDWATER SUPPLIES
During construction, limited water supplies would be required for dust control and maintenance of
construction vehicles and equipment. Based on the depth of groundwater, it is not anticipated that
groundwater would be encountered during excavation activities and dewatering would not be required.
Based on the Projects scope and limited construction duration, it is not anticipated that construction
would substantially deplete groundwater supplies. Project operations would increase water demand on -
site; however, the Project would not include groundwater extraction during operations. Additionally, the
Approved Project anticipated the construction of a new fire station. Thus, the Project would not impact
groundwater supplies such that it would impede sustainable groundwater management of the basin, and
the level of impact would not increase from that identified in SEIR No. 339. Given that the permitted type
and intensity of development would be similar to what was previously analyzed by SEIR, the level of
impact to groundwater supplies would not increase from that identified in SEIR No. 339.
GROUNDWATER RECHARGE
The Proposed Project would not interfere with groundwater recharge. The Proposed Project would
decrease the existing impervious surface area on -site with the addition of landscaping. Additionally, the
Project would be designed such that it minimizes grading and generally maintains the sites existing
drainage pattern to reduce potential impacts on groundwater recharge. The Project would implement

design measures and BMPs to ensure that stormwater runoff volumes from the site do not increase from
existing conditions; refer to Response 3.10(a). Given that the permitted type and intensity of development
would be similar to what was previously analyzed by SEIR No. 339, the level of impact would not increase
from that identified in SEIR No. 339. Accordingly, the Project would not impact groundwater recharge
such that it would impede sustainable groundwater management of the basin, and the level of impact
would not increase from that identified in SEIR No. 339.
Significance Determination: No substantial increase in the level of impact from previous analysis.
c) Would the project substantially alter the existing drainage pattern of the site or area,
including through the alteration of the course of a stream or river or through the addition
of impervious surfaces, in a manner which would:
This impact threshold was modified by the OPR in 2018. The changes to this threshold of significance
consist of refinements and clarifications of existing requirements. Although the specific language for this
threshold of significance has changed, the analysis was considered on page 36 of the Initial Study
prepared for the SEIR No. 339.
7) Result in substantial erosion or siltation on- or off -site?
Previous Significance Determination: The Initial Study for SEIR No. 339 noted that the runoff rates are
expected to remain approximately the same as existing conditions, since PTMLUP buildout would not
increase the runoff volume within the PTMLUP area. The Initial Study concluded that compliance with
current water quality regulations, SEIR No. 339 MM 3-2, and the design requirements of the City and the
Orange County Flood Control District (OCFCD) would ensure that runoff is properly conveyed and
discharged as appropriate. Therefore, potential impacts associated with increases in runoff, including
potential increased erosion or siltation, would be less than significant. Because these impacts were
considered less than significant, this was not further analyzed in SEIR No. 339.
Project -Specific Analysis: Refer to Response 3.10(a).
Significance Determination: No substantial increase in the level of impact from previous analysis.
2) Substantially increase the rate or amount of surface runoff in a manner which would
result in flooding on- or offsite?
Previous Significance Determination: The Initial Study for SEIR No. 339 concluded that PTMLUP
buildout would not significantly increase the amount of impervious surface within the Platinum Triangle
and that runoff rates would remain approximately the same as existing conditions. The Initial Study
determined that the Approved Project would result in less than significant impacts concerning
substantially altering the existing drainage pattern of the site or area following compliance with the
design requirements of the City and the OCFCD. Because these impacts were considered less than
significant, this was not further analyzed in SEIR No. 339.
Project -Specific Analysis: Refer to Response 3.10(c). In its existing condition, the Project site is
primarily impervious surface area. A portion of the existing impervious area would be replaced with
pervious surfaces (landscaping). As a result, the Proposed Project is anticipated to result in a decrease in
impervious surface area, which would result in a decrease in stormwater runoff from the Project site.
The Proposed Project would design the storm drain system to collect and convey on -site stormwater
Final I May 2022 3-58 Environmental Analysis
SUBSEQUENT ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT REPORT ADDENDUM
Platinum Triangle Fire Station No. 12 Project
runoff to the storm drain system in compliance with OCFCD requirements. The proposed storm drain
system and BMPs (SEIR No. 339 MM 3-2) would be sized to ensure that flooding would not occur.
Therefore, with implementation of SEIR No. 339 MM 3-2, and compliance with City and OCFCD
requirements, impacts related to flooding would be less than significant, and the level of impact would
not increase from that identified in SEIR No. 339.
Significance Determination: No substantial increase in the level of impact from previous analysis.
3) Create or contribute runoff water which would exceed the capacity of existing or
planned stormwater drainage systems or provide substantial additional sources of
polluted runoff?
Previous Significance Determination: The Initial Study for SEIR No. 339 concluded that impacts to
water quality would be less than significant following compliance with the existing regulatory framework
(i.e., local grading ordinance, State General Construction Permit, and County area -wide M54 Storm Water
Runoff Permit) would ensure that impacts are reduced to less than significant levels. The Initial Study
concluded that impacts concerning runoff water which would exceed the capacity of existing or planned
stormwater drainage systems or provide substantial additional sources of pollutant runoff would be less
than significant. Because these impacts were considered less than significant, this was not further
analyzed in SEIR No. 339.
Project -Specific Analysis: Refer to Responses 3.10(a) and 3.10(c). The design of the on -site storm
drains would provide sufficient capacity for stormwater runoff. The Proposed Project would decrease
impervious surface area and therefore decrease stormwater runoff discharged to the storm drain system
compared to existing conditions. Additionally, the Project would demonstrate conformance with the
State's General Construction Permit, Municipal Code Chapter 10.09, and the Municipal Code Chapter
17.04 (Grading, Excavations, Fills, Watercourses). Conformance with these measures would ensure
Project construction does not result in additional sources of polluted runoff. Thus, Project
implementation would not create or contribute runoff water which would exceed the existing or planned
stormwater drainage systems, and the level of impact would not increase from that identified in SEIR No.
339.
Further, with the implementation of BMPs, and compliance with federal, State, and local regulations the
Project would not substantially degrade water quality. The Project would not result in substantial
additional sources of polluted runoff, and the level of impact would not increase from that identified in
SEIR No. 339.
Significance Determination: No substantial increase in the level of impact from previous analysis.
4) Impede or redirect flood flows?
Previous Significance Determination: Refer to Response 3.10(c)(2) and 3.10(c)(3).
Project -Specific Analysis: No substantial change from previous analysis. Refer to Response 3.10(c)(2)
and 3.10 (c)(3).
Significance Determination: No substantial increase in the level of impact from previous analysis.

d) In flood hazard, tsunami, or seiche zones, would the project risk release of pollutants
due to project inundation?
This impact threshold was modified by the OPR in 2018. The changes to this threshold of significance
consist of refinements and clarifications of existing requirements. Although the specific language for this
threshold of significance has changed, the analysis was considered on page 37 of the Initial Study
prepared for the SEIR No. 339.
Previous Significance Determination:
Flood Hazard
The Initial Study for SEIR No. 339 concluded that the PTMLUP area is located within a Federal Emergency
Management Agency (FEMA) Flood Insurance Rate Map (FIRM) Special Flood Hazard Area designated as
"Zone A99" and "X." Based on these designations, the Initial Study concluded that PTMLUP buildout
would involve less than significant impacts concerning potential flooding. Because these impacts were
considered less than significant, this was not further analyzed in SEIR No. 339. Nonetheless, SEIR No. 339
includes MM 3-1 to require documentation that any structures must be at least 3 feet higher than the
100-year flood zone.
Tsunami
SEIR No. 339 did not evaluate the potential for PTMLUP buildout to be subject to tsunami -related impacts.
Seiche
The PTMLUP area does not support surface water bodies capable of causing a seiching event. Therefore,
the Initial Study determined that PTMLUP buildout would not be subject to seiche-related impacts.
Because there were no impacts, this was not further analyzed in SEIR No. 339.
Project -Specific Analysis:
Flood Hazard
Flood hazard areas identified on the FIRM are labeled "Special Flood Hazard Area" (SFHA). FEMA
identifies SFHAs as high -risk areas subject to inundation by one -percent -annual chance flood." The one -
percent annual chance flood is also referred to as the base flood or 100-year flood. Federal floodplain
management regulations and mandatory flood insurance purchase requirements apply in these zones.
According to FEMA FIRM Panel 142, Map No. 06059CO142J (October 2020), the Project site is located in
FEMA Flood Zone: Flood Zone "X (Other Flood Areas).`
The Proposed Project is located in Flood Zone "X," which FEMA defines as an area of moderate flood
hazard that has between a one percent and 0.2 percent chance of flooding within a given year. This is

Platinum Triangle Fire Station No. 12 Project
commonly described as the area subject to flooding between the 100-year/base flood and 500-yearflood.
FEMA further identifies this area as protected from the one -percent annual chance or greater flood
hazard bythe Santa Ana River levee system. Thus, the Proposed Project would not place structures within
a 100-year flood hazard area and a less than significant impact would occur. Given that the permitted
location, type, and intensity of development would be similar to what was previously analyzed by SEIR
No. 339, the level of impact would not increase from that identified in SEIR No. 339. Thus, impacts
concerning the placement of structures within a 100-yearflood hazard area would be less than significant
and the level of impact would not increase from that identified in SEIR No. 339.
The Project would not place housing within a 100-year flood hazard area as mapped on a Federal Flood
Hazard Boundary or Flood Insurance Rate Map or other flood hazard delineation map. No impact would
occur in this regard, and the level of impact would not increase from that identified in SEIR No. 339.
Tsunami
The Project site is located nearly 12 miles inland of the Pacific Ocean. As a result, the Project is located at
a sufficient distance so as not to be subject to tsunami impacts. No impact would occur in this regard.
Seiche
The Project is not located by a large, confined water body capable of causing a seiching event. Thus,
there would be no impact associated with exposure of people or structures to seiche, and the level of
impact would not increase from that identified in SEIR No. 339.
Significance Determination: No substantial increase in the level of impact from previous analysis.

consist of refinements and clarifications of existing requirements. Although the specific language for this
threshold of significance has changed, the analysis was considered on pages 36 and 37 of the Initial Study
prepared for the SEIR No. 339.
Previous Significance Determination: The Initial Study for SEIR No. 339 concluded that impacts to
water quality would be less than significant following compliance with the existing regulatory framework
(i.e., local grading ordinance, State General Construction Permit, and County area -wide MS4 Storm Water
Runoff Permit) would ensure that impacts are reduced to less than significant levels. The Initial Study
concluded that impacts concerning runoff water, which would exceed the capacity of existing or planned
stormwater drainage systems or provide substantial additional sources of pollutant runoff, would be less
than significant. Because these impacts were considered less than significant, this was not further
analyzed in SEIR No. 339.
Project -Specific Analysis: Refer to Responses 3.10(a) and 3.10(c). The Proposed Project would not
result in increased impervious surface area. Further, the Project would demonstrate conformance with
the State's General Construction Permit, as well as the Municipal Code Chapters 10.09 and 17.04.
Conformance with these measures would ensure Project construction does not result in additional
sources of polluted runoff. Thus, Project implementation would not create or contribute runoff water
which would exceed the existing or planned stormwater drainage systems, and the level of impact would

not increase from that identified in SEIR No. 339. Given that the permitted type and intensity of
development would be similar to what was previously -analyzed by SEIR No. 339, the level of impact
would not increase from that identified in SEIR No. 339. With the implementation of BMPs, and
compliance with federal, State, and local regulations the Project would not substantially degrade water
quality. The Project would not result in substantial additional sources of polluted runoff, and the level of
impact would not increase from that identified in SEIR No. 339.
Significance Determination: No substantial increase in the level of impact from previous analysis.

339.
Project -Specific Analysis: The Project site currently functions as a surface parking lot that supports the
Anaheim Gateway Building and Angel Stadium of Anaheim. Existing multi -family residential
developments are situated north of the Project site (1818 Platinum Triangle and Stadium House
Apartments). The proposed fire station is considered an infill development, as the Project site is situated
on the existing paved surface parking lot of the Angel Stadium of Anaheim and Anaheim Gateway
Building. As such, development of the proposed fire station would not physically divide any established
communities in the Project area. No impacts would occur in this regard, and the level of impact would
not increase from that identified in SEIR No. 339.
Significance Determination: No substantial increase in the level of impact from previous analysis.
b) Would the project cause a significant environmental impact due to a conflict with any
land use plan, policy, or regulation adopted for the purpose of avoiding or mitigating an

This impact threshold was modified by the OPR in 2018. The changes to this threshold of significance
consist of refinements and clarifications of existing requirements. Although the specific language for this
threshold of significance has changed, the analysis was considered in the SEIR No. 339 on page 5.4-5.
Previous Significance Determination: SEIR No. 339 concluded that PTMLUP buildout would result in
less than significant impacts to City and SCAG land use plans, policies, and regulations following
conformance with existing regulatory requirements. However, SEIR No. 339 concluded that the PTMLUP
would be inconsistent with General Plan Public Services and Facilities Element Goal 8.1, as high-rise
residential towers (A -Town Metro project) could potentially interfere with the Southern California Gas
Company's microwave tower's telecommunications function. Impacts in this regard were determined to
remain significant and unavoidable, and a Statement of Overriding Considerations was adopted by the
City Council when SEIR No. 339 was certified.

Following SEIR No. 339 certification, SEIR No. 339 Addendum No. 4 evaluated the amended A -Town
Metro project which included a Development Agreement amendment, General Plan amendment, and
PTMLUP amendment. Addendum 4 found that A -Town Metro project would be consistent with all
applicable goals and policies of the General Plan Land Use, Economic Development, and Community
Design Elements. Additionally, SEIR No. 339 Addendum 4 concluded that the A -Town Metro included a
provision to limit the maximum height of buildings; however, impacts would continue to be significant
and unavoidable and no change to the level of significance from that of SEIR No. 339 would occur.
The SCEA prepared in 2020 for the Stadium District Sub -Area A Project analyzed impacts associated with
the development of Sub -Area A of the Stadium District of the PTMU Overlay Zone. Among other proposed
land uses, the SCEA evaluated impacts associated with development of a fire station on a 1.5-acre portion
of Stadium District Sub -Area A, which is the project currently being analyzed in this Addendum. The SCEA
concluded that the proposed Stadium District Sub -Area A Project would be consistent with the PTMLUP,
PTMU Overlay Zone, and General Plan, and would result in less than significant impacts in this regard.
Project -Specific Analysis: The Project site and surrounding land uses are designated Mixed -Use Urban
Core and zoned Public Recreation (PR) in the Stadium District of the PTMU Overlay Zone. The Mixed -Use
Urban Core land use designation allows a mix of uses including residential, commercial, services, hotel,
and professional office uses in a high -quality environment. The intent of the PTMU Overlay Zone is to
provide opportunities for well -designed development Projects that combine residential with non-
residential uses. Non-residential uses may include office, retail, business services, personal services,
public spaces and uses, and other community amenities within the portions of the Platinum Triangle
designated with the Mixed -Use, Office High and Office Low land use designations in the General Plan,
and consistent with the policy direction in the General Plan.
The proposed fire station, which is classified as a "Public Service" land use, is a permitted use under the
PTMU Overlay Zone per Municipal Code Table 20-A, Primary Uses: Platinum Triangle Mixed -Use (PTMU)
Overlay Zone. As such, the Project's discretionary land use approval is limited to a Design Plan Review.

It is acknowledged that development of a fire station on the Project site was previously considered and
analyzed within the SEIR No. 339 and SCEA for the Stadium District Sub -Area A Project; refer to SCEA
Table 3.1, Sub -Area A of the Stadium District of the PTMU Overlay Zone, and Figure 3-4, Master Site Plan.
As shown in Table 3.11-1, the proposed fire station would be consistent with applicable PTMU Overlay
Zone development standards, with the exception of the parking spaces requirement. The proposed fire
station is anticipated to be staffed with ten crew members per shift with limited visitors and no public
services. Therefore, the 20 proposed parking spaces would be sufficient to support on -site parking
demand. The parking spaces also would only be accessible to fire house staff. Additionally, two public
visitor parking spaces, including one accessible van space, would be provided in front of the fire station.
Thus, the level of impact associated with the proposed fire station would not substantially increase from
that identified in SEIR No. 339.

be of value to the region and the residents of the State?
Previous Significance Determination: The Initial Study for SEIR No. 339 concluded that the PTMLUP
area does not include mineral resources; thus, PTMLUP implementation would not result in the loss of
the availability of mineral resources that would be of regional value. Because there were no impacts, these
resources were not further analyzed in SEIR No. 339.
Project -Specific Analysis: According to the General Plan Green Element Figure G-3, Mineral Resource
Map, the Project site is not located within an area containing regionally significant mineral resources.
Given that the construction of a fire station was previously analyzed by SEIR No. 339, the level of impact
would not increase from that identified in SEIR No. 339. Thus, impacts concerning the loss of availability
of a known mineral resource that would be of value to the region and the residents of the State would be
less than significant, and the level of impact would not increase from that identified in SEIR No. 339.

This impact threshold was modified by the OPR in 2018. The changes to this threshold of significance
consist of refinements and clarifications of existing requirements. Although the specific language for this
threshold of significance has changed, the analysis was considered in the SEIR No. 339 page 5.5-19.
Previous Significance Determination: SEIR No. 339 determined that PTMLUP implementation could
expose persons to, or generate, noise levels in excess of standards established in the General Plan and
Anaheim Noise Ordinance (Municipal Code Chapter 6.70, Sound Pressure Levels). Specifically, SEIR No.
339 concludecithat PTMLUP buildoutwould result in a significant increase in noisegenerated byvehicular
traffic along Gene Autry Way from 1-5 to State College Boulevard and on State College Boulevard from
Orangewood Avenue to Gene Autry Drive. SEIR No. 339 also determined that PTMLUP buildout would
allow for noise -sensitive residential units which may be exposed to mobile and stationary noise levels
that exceed State and/or City standards and that building fagades that are exposed to noise levels that
exceed 69 A -weighted decibels (dBA) would require architectural improvements to achieve the required
45 dBA community noise equivalent level (CNEL) interior noise level limits.
Despite implementation of SEIR No. 339 MM 5-1 through MM 5-5 and MM 5-7 through MM 5-10, impacts
concerning exposure to mobile- and stationary -source noise and vibration were determined to remain
significant and unavoidable, and a Statement of Overriding Considerations was adopted by the City
Council when SEIR No. 339 was certified.
Project -Specific Analysis: It is difficult to specify noise levels that are generally acceptable to everyone;
what is annoying to one person may be unnoticed by another. Standards may be based on documented
complaints in response to documented noise levels or based on studies of the ability of people to sleep,

talk, or work undervarious noise conditions; however, all such studies recognize that individual responses
vary considerably. Standards usually address the needs of the majority of the general population.
SHORT-TERM CONSTRUCTION IMPACTS
Construction activities generally are temporary and have a short duration, resulting in periodic increases
in the ambient noise environment. The Proposed Project involves the construction of a two-story,
approximately 12,622 square -foot fire station. Construction activities would for a short duration and
would include site preparation, grading, paving, and construction. Groundborne noise and other types of
construction -related noise impacts typically occur during the initial site preparation. This phase of
construction has the potential to create the highest levels of noise; however, it is generally the shortest
of all construction phases. Typical noise levels generated by construction equipment are shown in Table
3.13-1, Maximum Noise Levels Generated bZ Construction E(jui :ment. Operating cycles for these types of
construction equipment may involve one or two minutes of full power operation followed by three to
four minutes at lower power settings. Other primary sources of acoustical disturbance would be due to
random incidents, which would last less than one minute (such as dropping large pieces of equipment or
the hydraulic movement of machinery lifts).

Municipal Code Chapter 6.70, Sound Pressure Levels, governs sound pressure levels within the City.
Specifically, based on Municipal Code Section 6.70.03.0, Established, construction noise sources are
exempted from the City's Noise Ordinance standards between the hours of 7:00 AM and 7:00 PM. The
Proposed Project would be subject to compliance with the construction time limitations identified in
Municipal Code Section 6.70.010. Further, the Project would be required to adhere to SEIR No. 339 MM
5-5 and MM 5-7 through MM 5-10 to reduce construction noise.
Impacts concerning construction noise were determined by the SEIR No. 339 to remain significant and
unavoidable. Short - term construction noise impacts associated with the Proposed Project would not
result in new or significantly increased impacts as compared to the level identified in SEIR No. 339
following adherence to the Municipal Code construction time regulations as well as implementation of
SEIR No. 339 SEIR No. 339 MM 5-5 and MM 5-7 through MM 5-10.
LONG-TERM OPERATIONAL IMPACTS
Operation of the proposed fire station would result in the generation of noise levels above existing site
conditions, which would be perceived by surrounding uses, including the existing residential uses to the
north of the proposed fire station site. The proposed fire station would be occupied and operated on a
24-hour/7-day-a-week schedule; however, the majority of routine operations at the fire station would
occur within the typically defined daytime hours (7:00 AM to 7:00 PM). Noise generating uses at fire
stations most typically include vehicle traffic (both firefighters commuting to and from work and fire
engines conducting routine operations), normal operational noise such as facility and equipment
maintenance and outdoor communications associated with departmental operations during daylight
hours, new heating, ventilation, and cooling (HVAC) equipment, and emergency generator.
Fire department personnel are required by state law to sound the siren when exiting the fire station to
respond to emergency calls. However, emergency responders make every effort to minimize use of the
siren if the station is located in a residential setting. In terms of magnitude of noise exposure, a typical
siren emits approximately 100 dB at 100 feet. The magnitude of the noise, while briefly high in exterior
living areas, would be substantially reduced in interior living areas of residential uses adjacent to the
Project site. Further, because emergency vehicle response is by nature rapid, the duration of exposure to
these peak noise levels in the 95 to 100 dB range is estimated to last for 10 seconds as emergency vehicles
pause at the driveway exit, engage the siren, and turn onto State College Boulevard and accelerate rapidly
away from the proposed fire station. Traffic signal preemption devices would be provided for the signal
at the South State College Boulevard and B-Street (Gateway Office) intersection via a Remote Station
Activation button. This device would allow emergency vehicles to immediately exit the site and turn onto
State College. Thus, residents of existing residential units in the vicinity of the Project site would be
exposed to high noise levels for approximately 10 seconds during each instance of emergency response.
The City of Anaheim's Municipal Code (Section 6.72.040) exempts warning devices (e.g., sirens) and horns
on authorized emergency vehicles from the limitations of noise ordinances because, by their very nature,
they are intended to be unmistakably noticed.
HVAC equipment would be roof mounted and installed as far as possible away from the residential use to
the north to minimize noise impacts. As the distance from the multi -family residential use and the
proposed fire station (structure) is approximately 12.7 feet, noise impacts from HVAC are not anticipated
to be substantial. Additionally, the proposed emergency generator would be used periodically and for a
short period of time for testing, as well as during emergencies if power needs to be restored to the facility
during power outages. Overall, routine activities associated with a fire station would not substantially
increase ambient noise levels.

Generally, a 3 dBA change in the existing ambient noise level is required to instigate a
perceivable/noticeable difference in the ambient noise environment. According to the Caltrans Technical
Noise Supplement to the Traffic Noise Analysis Protocol (2013), a doubling of traffic on a roadway is
required to result in an increase of 3 dB (a barely perceptible increase). The proposed fire station would
not result in a doubling of existing traffic, and thus, would not result in a perceptible increase in traffic
noise levels.
The SEIR No. 339 determined that impacts concerning exposure to mobile- and stationary -source noise
would remain significant and unavoidable. As discussed above, construction of a new fire station (i.e., the
Proposed Project) was anticipated within the Platinum Triangle as previously analyzed by SEIR No. 339. As
such, the level of impact in regard to long-term noise would not increase from that identified in SEIR No.
339. Long-term noise impacts associated with the Proposed Project would not result in new orsignificantly
increased impacts as compared to the level identified in SEIR No. 339.
Significance Determination: No substantial increase in the level of impact from previous analysis.
b) Would the project result in generation of excessive groundbome vibration or
groundborne noise levels?
This impact threshold was modified by the OPR in 2018. The changes to this threshold of significance
consist of refinements and clarifications of existing requirements. Although the specific language for this
threshold of significance has changed, the analysis was considered in the SEIR No. 339 pages 5.5-29 and
5.5-31.
Previous Significance Determination: SEIR No. 339 concluded that PTMLUP implementation had the
potential to result in exposure of persons to or generation of excessive groundborne vibration or
groundborne noise levels. Specifically, SEIR No. 339 found that PTMLUP construction activities would
generate substantial levels of groundborne vibration and groundborne noise in the vicinity of vibration -
sensitive land uses and that vibration -sensitive receptors could be exposed to substantial levels of
groundborne vibration and groundborne noise in the vicinity of the Amtrak/Metrolink line. Despite
implementation of SEIR No. 339 MM 5-5 and MM 5-6, impacts related to generation of substantial levels
of groundborne vibration and groundborne noise in the vicinity of vibration -sensitive land uses were
determined to remain significant and unavoidable, and a Statement of Overriding Considerations was
adopted by the City Council when SEIR No. 339 was certified.
Project -Specific Analysis:
SHORT-TERM CONSTRUCTION IMPACTS
Project construction would have the potential to result in varying degrees of temporary groundborne
vibration, depending on the specific construction equipment used and the operations involved. Vibration
generated by construction equipment spreads through the ground and diminishes in magnitude with
increases in distance. Construction vibration could represent a source of annoyance to the identified
sensitive receptorto the north of the Project site (i.e., multi -family residential use). Construction activities
may occur as close as 5 feet from the closest sensitive receptor.
The Proposed Project would be subject to compliance with the construction time limitations (between
the hours of 7:00 AM and 7:00 PM) identified in Municipal Code Section 6.70.010. Further, the Project
would be required to adhere to SEIR No. 339 MM 5-5 to reduce vibration impact during Project

during construction. This alternative construction method would reduce the duration necessary for use
of the impact pile driver and/or eliminate the need to use pile drivers altogether. As the proposed
structure would be a two -stories, 12,622 square -foot fire station, construction activities associated with
a relatively shallow foundation and installation of underground utilities is not anticipated to create
substantial vibration impacts. As such, short-term construction vibration would not result in new or
significantly increased impacts as compared to the level identified in SEIR No. 339.
LONG-TERM OPERATIONAL IMPACTS
As a fire station, operations would not generate a new source of groundborne vibration. As indicated in
Section 3.17, Transgortation. the proposed fire station would not generate significant additional vehicle
trips beyond those identified in SEIR No. 339. Further, as discussed above, an additional fire station (i.e.,
the Proposed Project) was anticipated within the Platinum Triangle as previously analyzed by SEIR No.
339. As such, the level of impact in regard to long-term operation of the fire station would not increase
from that identified in SEIR No. 339. As such, impacts would be less than significant in this regard, and the
Proposed Project would not result in new or significantly increased long-term vibration impacts as
compared to the level identified in SEIR No. 339.
Significance Determination: No substantial increase in the level of impact from previous analysis.
c) Would the project be located within the vicinity of a private airstrip or an airport land
use plan or, where such a plan has not been adopted, within two miles of a public airport
or public use airport, would the project expose people residing or working in the project
area to excessive noise levels?
This impact threshold was modified by the OPR in 2018. The changes to this threshold of significance
consist of refinements and clarifications of existing requirements. Although the specific language for this
threshold of significance has changed, the analysis was considered in the SEIR No. 339 page 5.5-34.
Previous Significance Determination: As discussed in Section 3.91 Hazards and Hazardous Materials.
SEIR No. 339 identified three existing locations (the Fire Training Site, the UCI Medical Center, and the
parking lot at Angel Stadium of Anaheim, which is used by the Anaheim Police Department) within the
vicinity of the Platinum Triangle that support helicopter takeoffs/landings. SEIR No. 339 also disclosed
that future heliports/helipads could be constructed in the Platinum Triangle area atop new high-rise
structures for fire and emergency response use. SEIR No. 339 determined that despite the potential for
noise -sensitive uses to be placed in proximity to heliports/helipads and areas of helicopter activity, use
of these heliports would be infrequent. Therefore, SEIR No. 339 found impacts associated with private
airstrip/heliport/helipad noise to be less than significant.
SEIR No. 339 determined that the Platinum Triangle area is not located within an airport land use plan or
within two miles of a public airport. The nearest public airports to the Platinum Triangle Area include the
John Wayne Airport, located approximately eight miles to the south, and Fullerton Municipal Airport,
located approximately eight miles to the northwest. Therefore, SEIR No. 339 found that no impacts
associated with public airport noise would occur.
Project -Specific Analysis: The Project site is not located in a zone that is regulated by an airport land
use plan; however, the site is located in close proximity tothe helipads at Angels Stadium and the North

Net Fire Training Center. The Proposed Project would not add additional air traffic that could produce
excessive noise that would affect the local population and would not create additional exposure of people
to excessive air traffic noise. Impacts would be less than significant and would not increase from that
identified in SEIR No. 339.
Significance Determination: No substantial increase in the level of impact from previous analysis.

Mitigation Measures from SEIR No. 332
Refer to the Mitigation Measures from SEIR No. 339 below, which are based on adopted Mitigation
Measures from SEIR No. 332.
Mitigation Measures from SEIR No. 339
SEIR No. 339 includes measures to reduce potential impacts associated development and infrastructure
improvements within the Platinum Triangle. The following measures from SEIR No. 339 are applicable to
the Proposed Project.21 Any modifications to the original measures are shown in sulk gh for
deleted text and new, inserted text is underlined.
MM 5-5 Prior to issuance of the first building permit, to reduce noise and vibration impacts from the
impact pile driver, the construction contractor shall evaluate the feasibility of using auger cast
piles or a similar system to drill holes to construct cast -in -place piles for a pile -supported
transfer slab foundation system. This alternative construction method would reduce the
duration necessary for use of the impact pile driver and/or eliminate the need to use pile
drivers altogether. Proof of compliance with this measure shall be submitted to the Planning
Department in the form of a letter from the construction contractor.
MM 5-7 Ongoing during grading, demolition, and construction, the PF8peny ewnef4developer shall be
responsible for requiring contractors to implement the following measures to limit
construction -related noise:
a. Noise generated by construction, shall be limited by the PF9peFty to
60 dBA along the property boundaries, before 7:00 AM and after 7:00 PM, as
governed by Chapter 6.7, Sound Pressure Levels, of the Anaheim Municipal Code.
b. Limit the hours of operation of equipment that produces noise levels noticeably above
general construction noise levels to the hours of 10:00 AM to 4:00 PM.
c. All internal combustion engines on all of the construction equipment shall be properly
outfitted with well -maintained muffler systems.

a) Would the project induce substantial unplanned population growth in an area, either
directly (for example, by proposing new homes and businesses) or indirectly (for
example, through extension of roads or other infrastructure)?
This impact threshold was modified by the OPR in 2018. The changes to this threshold of significance
consist of refinements and clarifications of existing requirements. Although the specific language for this
threshold of significance has changed, the analysis was considered in the SEIR No. 339 on page 5.6-13.
Previous Significance Determination: SEIR No. 339 concluded that the residential and non-residential
development accommodated through PTMLUP implementation would directly and indirectly induce
population growth. Although PTMLUP buildout would result in indirect and direct population growth, the
SEIR No. 339 concluded that it would be consistent with SCAG's regional growth management policies
since its implementation would result in a more balanced jobs/housing ratio when compared to existing
conditions. No impacts were identified, and no mitigation was required.
Project -Specific Analysis: The Proposed Project would not directly induce substantial population
growth in an area through the introduction of new residential housing. It is acknowledged that the
proposed fire station would accommodate approximately ten crew members, which could nominally
induce population growth if the employees and their families relocated to the City. However, given that
the construction of a new fire station was previously analyzed by SEIR No. 339, the level of impact would
not increase from that identified in SEIR No. 339. As such, the Project is not anticipated to induce
substantial unplanned population growth in the area, either indirectly or directly. A less than significant
impact would occur in this regard, and the level of impact would not increase from that identified in SEIR
No. 339.
b) Would the project displace substantial numbers of existing people or housing,
necessitating the construction of replacement housing elsewhere?
This impact threshold was modified by the OPR in 2018. The changes to this threshold of significance
consist of refinements and clarifications of existing requirements. Although the specific language for this
threshold of significance has changed, the analysis was considered on page 39 of the Initial Study prepared
for the SEIR No. 339.

Previous Significance Determination: The Initial Study for SEIR No. 339 determined that PTMLUP
implementation would not displace people or residential development. As such, impacts in this regard
were not further analyzed in SEIR No 339.
Project -Specific Analysis: No housing units would be displaced as a result of Project implementation.
Existing residential land uses are present within the Project vicinity; however, the Proposed Project would
be constructed on an existing surface parking lot that supports the Anaheim Gateway Building and Angel
Stadium of Anaheim. Given that the permitted type and intensity of development would be similar to
what was previously analyzed by SEIR No. 339, the level of impact would not increase from that identified
in SEIR No. 339. As such, Project implementation would not displace any existing housing units or people
requiring the construction of additional replacement housing units elsewhere and the level of impact
would not increase from that identified in SEIR No. 339.
Significance Determination: No substantial increase in the level of impact from previous analysis.

altered governmental facilities, the construction of which could cause significant
environmental impacts, in order to maintain acceptable service ratios, response times,
or other performance objectives for any of the public services:
1) Fire Protection?
Previous Significance Determination: SEIR No. 339 determined that Platinum Triangle buildout would
necessitate additional fire facilities, delay the Anaheim Fire and Rescue response time for first engine
response, and increase demand for other operational sections of the Anaheim Fire and Rescue. To
mitigate these impacts to fire protection services, SEIR No. 339 concluded that increases in property tax
revenues generated by PTMLUP buildout would be used for additional Anaheim Fire and Rescue staffing
needs. Furthermore, the Public Safety Impact Fee would be collected at the time of issuance of building
permits for projects in the Platinum Triangle, providing funds for the construction of new fire facilities.
SEIR No. 339 found impacts associated with fire protection facilities to be less than significant with the
incorporation of SEIR No. 339 MM 7-1 and MM 7-2.
Project -Specific Analysis: The fire station is proposed within the Platinum Triangle area due to the
increased land use intensities associated with implementation of the Approved Project, as analyzed and
anticipated in the SEIR No. 339. The proposed new fire station would result in a long-term benefit to the
Anaheim Fire and Rescue fire protection services by providing a new fire station where one does not
currently exist and housing two fire companies, doubling services of the typical fire house in the City. The
Proposed Project would result in the construction of a two-story, approximately 12,622 square -foot fire
station, staffed by approximately ten crew members. Due to the nature of the Proposed Project, the
Project would not directly or indirectly induce substantial population growth; refer to Response 3.13(a).
Potential environmental impacts of construction and operation of this fire station has been evaluated

SUBSEQUENT ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT REPORT ADDENDUM
Platinum Triangle Fire Station No. 12 Project
throughout this Addendum and the Proposed Project would not require the construction or expansion of
fire protection facilities beyond those already anticipated for the Project site. To ensure fire safety, SEIR
No. 339 MM 7-1 would require fire sprinklers be installed in accordance with the Municipal Code.
However, SEIR No. 339 MM 7-2 (payment of Public Safety Impact Fees) would not be applicable to the
Proposed Project since the Project is in fact a public safety facility and, based on the Municipal Code
Chapter 17.36.020, Fire Suppression Facilities and Vehicle and Equipment Impact Fee for the Platinum
Triangle, is not required to pay into the public safety fund. No impacts would occur, and the level of
impact would not increase from that identified in SEIR No. 339.
Significance Determination: No substantial increase in the level of impact from previous analysis.
2) Police Protection?
Previous Significance Determination: SEIR No. 339 concluded that PTMLUP buildout would require an
increase in police facilities and staffing at the Anaheim Police Department (APD). To mitigate these
impacts to police protection services, SEIR No. 339 concluded that increases in property tax revenues
generated by PTMLUP buildout would be used to cover additional APD staffing needs. Furthermore, the
Public Safety Impact Fee would be collected at the time of issuance of building permits for Projects in the
Platinum Triangle, providing funds for the construction of new police protection facilities. The SEIR found
impacts associated with police protection facilities to be less than significant with the incorporation of
SEIR No. 339 MM 7-3 through MM 7-7. SEIR No. 339 MM 7-3 would require submittal of a final site plan
to the Anaheim Police Department (APD) prior to approval. SEIR No. 339 MM 7-4 would require plan
approval regarding security measures prior to the issuance of a building permit for a parking structure.
SEIR No. 339 MM 7-5 would require design plan submittal prior to approval of a final site plan. SEIR No.
339 MM 7-6 would require reimbursement of a traffic control services provided by APD resulting from
Project operations. SEIR No. 339 MM 7-7 would require payment of the Public Safety Impact Fee for police
facilities prior to the issuance of a grading permit.
Project -Specific Analysis: The Proposed Project would not directly or indirectly induce substantial
population growth; refer to Response 3.13(a). Given that the construction of a new fire station was
previously analyzed by SEIR No. 339, one can anticipate that the Project would not result in the need for
additional new or physically altered APD police protection facilities beyond what was identified in SEIR
No. 339. Submittal and approval of a final site plan by APD (SEIR No. 339 MM 7-3), and design plan
submittal regarding access points (MM 7-5) would ensure compliance with SEIR No. 339 MM 7-3, and
MM 7-5. Additionally, traffic control measures (traffic signal preemption devices) would be provided for
the signal at the South State College Boulevard and B-Street (Gateway Office) intersection. As such,
impacts in this regard would be less than significant and the level of impact would not increase from that
identified in SEIR No. 339.
Significance Determination: No substantial increase in the level of impact from previous analysis.
3) Schools?
Previous Significance Determination: SEIR No. 339 concluded that residential development within the
Platinum Triangle would generate additional students requiring school services in the Anaheim City School
District and Anaheim Union High School District. To mitigate impacts to school services, SEIR No. 339
concluded that developer payment of school fees levied by Anaheim City School District and Anaheim
Union High School District would reduce potential school -related impacts to a less than significant level.
SEIR No. 339 found impacts associated with schools to be less than significant with the incorporation of
Final I May 2022 3-80 Environmental Analysis
SUBSEQUENT ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT REPORT ADDENDUM
Platinum Triangle Fire Station No. 12 Project
SEIR No. 339 MM 7-8 and MM 7-9. SEIR No. 339 MM 7-8 would require that the City work with the school
districts to identify opportunities for school facilities within the Platinum Triangle, if applicable to the City.
SEIR No. 339 MM 7-9 would require payment of school impact fees prior to issuance of each building
permit.
Project -Specific Analysis: The Proposed Project would not directly or indirectly induce significant
population growth; refer to Response 3.13(a). As such, the Project would not generate a substantial
number of school -aged students that would create demand on local schools for educational services.
Further, SEIR No. 339 MM 7-8 and MM 7-9, which would require City collaboration with the school districts
and payment of school impact fees, respectively, would not be applicable to the Proposed Project. No
impacts would occur, and the level of impact would not increase from that identified in SEIR No. 339.
Significance Determination: No substantial increase in the level of impact from previous analysis.
4) Parks?
Previous Significance Determination: SEIR No. 339 concluded that PTMLUP buildout would generate
additional residents which would increase local demand for parks and recreational facilities and could
exacerbate existing overuse of parks in the City. However, the SEIR concluded that compliance with
Municipal Code Section 18.20.110.010, which establishes requirements for recreational space within the
PTMU Overlay Zone, would ensure that recreational space would increase proportional to population
growth in the Platinum Triangle. SEIR No. 339 concluded that impacts associated with parks and
recreational facilities would be less than significant following conformance with existing applicable
regulations and SEIR No. 339 MM 8-1 through MM 8-3. SEIR No. 339 MM 8-1 would require the City to
seek property acquisition opportunities for parkland during project implementation in and adjacent to
the project area. SEIR No. 339 MM 8-2 would require the City to continue to work with developers to
seek alternative means of providing recreational amenities. SEIR No. 339 MM 8-3 would require the City
to continue fostering partnerships with other public entities and private organizations to seek alternative
means of providing various types of recreational opportunities.
Project -Specific Analysis: The Proposed Project would not generate a substantial number of new
residents that would impact or create a need for additional local parks or other public facilities; refer to
Response 3.14(a). No impacts would occur, and the level of impact would not increase from that
identified in SEIR No. 339.
Significance Determination: No substantial increase in the level of impact from previous analysis.
5) Other public facilities?
Previous Significance Determination: SEIR No. 339 determined that PTMLUP buildout would generate
additional residents which would increase demands for other public facilities in the area, including
libraries. SEIR No. 339 found impacts associated with public facilities such as libraries to be less than
significant with incorporation of SEIR No. 339 MM 7-10, which requires payment of development impact
fees which would pay for additional library materials and services needed to serve the PTMLUP area.
Project -Specific Analysis: The Proposed Project would not generate a substantial number of new
residents that would impact or create a need for other public facilities, such as libraries. No impact would
occur in this regard, and the level of impact would not increase from that identified in SEIR No. 339.

a) Would the project conflict with a program, plan, ordinance or policy addressing the
circulation system, including transit, roadway, bicycle, and pedestrian facilities?
This impact threshold was modified by the OPR in 2018. The changes to this threshold of significance
consist of refinements and clarifications of existing requirements. Although the specific language for this
threshold of significance has changed, the analysis was considered in SEIR No. 339, page 5.9-107.
Previous Significance Determination: SEIR No. 339 concluded that PTMLUP buildout would increase
traffic volumes on Caltrans facilities and thus would conflict with an applicable congestion management
program. SEIR No. 339 also concluded that PTMLUP buildout would impact the level of service for the
area roadway system and therefore would conflict with an applicable plan, ordinance, or policy
establishing the effectiveness for the performance of the circulation system. Despite incorporation of
SEIR No. 339 MM 9-1 through MM 9-15, impacts related to the level of service for the area roadway
system and increased traffic volumes on Caltrans facilities were determined to remain significant and
unavoidable, and a Statement of Overriding Considerations was adopted by the City Council when SEIR
No. 339 was certified.
As noted above, this impact threshold was updated by OPR in 2018. Under Senate Bill 743 (SB 743), the
utilization of level of service (LOS) as a threshold of significance under CEO,A was replaced with a
threshold of vehicle miles traveled VMT). As such, the findings of SEIR No. 339 pertaining to LOS are no
longer applicable to the Proposed Project.
Project -Specific Analysis:
Public transit within the Project vicinity is provided by the Orange County Transit Authority (OCTA) and
the Anaheim Resort Transportation (ART). Specifically, OCTA provides transit services via bus route 57
(Route 57) along State College Boulevard. The closest Route 57 bus stop is located approximately 240 feet
north of the Project site, along southbound South State College Boulevard. ART provides transit service
via the ARTIC Sports Complex Line located south of the East Katella Avenue/South Douglas Road
intersection. The closest ARTIC stop is located along westbound East Katella Avenue, approximately 480

feet north of the Project site. Amtrak Pacific Surfliner and Metrolink services are located approximately
0.5 mile to the east at the Anaheim Regional Transportation Intermodal Center.
Sidewalks are provided along north and southbound South State College Boulevard within the Project
vicinity. According to the Anaheim Bicycle Master Plan (Bicycle Master Plan) and General Plan, there are
no dedicated bicycle routes within the Project area. The closest Class I Bike Path (Regional Trail) is located
to the east of the Project area (along the Santa Ana River). The Bicycle Master Plan Figure 13, Proposed
Bikeway Network (West), lists Orangewood Avenue as a proposed Class II Bike Lane.
The proposed fire station would not impede implementation of transportation policies. Further, the
proposed fire station would maintain existing bike, pedestrian, and transit facilities, as well as install new
pedestrian connections on -site. Additionally, as planned in SEIR No. 339, the ARTIC facility was opened in
2014 to directly support the alternative transportation policy as in the intermodal transportation link
between Amtrak, Metrolink commuter rail, Orange County Transportation Authority (OCTA) bus services,
and the regional bicycle network. Accordingly, the Project would not result in substantial impacts related
to conflicts with a program, ordinance, or policy addressingthe circulation system, and the level of impact
would not increase from that identified in SEIR No. 339. Given that the permitted type and intensity of
development would be similar to what was previously analyzed by SEIR No. 339, the level of impact would
not increase from that identified in SEIR No. 339.
Significance Determination: No substantial increase in the level of impact from previous analysis.

subdivision (b)?
In September 2013, the Governor's Office of Planning and Research (OPR) signed SB 743 into law, starting
a process that fundamentally changes the way transportation impact analysis is conducted under CEQA.
These changes include the elimination of auto delay, LOS, and similar measurements of vehicular roadway
capacity and traffic congestion as the basis for determining significant impacts. The guidance identifies
VMT as the most appropriate CEQA transportation metric, along with the elimination of auto delay and
LOS for CEQA purposes. The justification for this paradigm shift is that auto delay/LOS impacts lead to
improvements that increase roadway capacity and therefore induce more traffic and greenhouse gas
emissions.
SEIR No. 339 did not specifically address vehicle miles traveled (VMT) (pursuant to SB 743), as it was not
required in the CEQA Guidelines at the time SEIR No. 339 was prepared.
On October 26, 2010, the City of Anaheim certified the SEIR No. 339 that analyzed the potential impacts
associated with development of the revised Platinum Triangle Expansion Project. Although this previous
environmental document did not include a VMT analysis, a supplemental environmental analysis of VMT
impacts cannot be required absent new information on that front. The implementation of project design
features and mitigation measures related to vehicle emissions have typically been incorporated into air
quality and greenhouse gas emissions analyses. Thus, the effect of increased VMT could have been raised
in 2010 when the City considered the EIR. A challenge to an EIR must be brought within 30 days of the
lead agency's notice of approval. (Pub. Resources Code, § 21167[b].) Under Public Resources Code Section
21166(c), an agency may not require a supplemental environmental review unless new information, which
was not known and could not have been known at the time the EIR was approved, becomes available.
After a project has been subjected to environmental review, the statutory presumption flips in favor of
the project proponent and against further review. (Moss v. County of Humboldt [2008] 162 Cal.App.4th
Final I May 2022 3.86 Environmental Analysis
SUBSEQUENT ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT REPORT ADDENDUM
Platinum Triangle Fire Station No. 12 Project
1041, 1049-1050.) "'[Sjection 21166 comes into play precisely because in-depth review has already
occurred [and] the time for challenging the sufficiency of the original EIR has long since expired."' (Id.,
1050.) There is no competent evidence of new information of severe impact, and thus the City may rely
on an addendum. Accordingly, the City finds that VMT is not "new information" under Public Resources
Code Section 21166.
Previous Significance Determination: SEIR No. 339 concluded that although PTMLUP buildout could
result in an increase in vehicle miles traveled (VMT) and trips in the local area, the PTMLUP would benefit
the Southern California Association Government (SCAG) region as it would allow for housing
opportunities closerto employment centers. SEIR No. 339 determined that the PTMLUP would therefore
be consistent with SCAG's strategies to reduce VMT in the SCAG region and would be consistent with
Southern California Air Quality Management District's 2007Air Quality Management Plan (2007 AQMP),
which was the applicable air quality plan at the time. Impacts concerning conflicting with or obstructing
implementation of the SCAQMD's 2007 AQMP were identified as less than significant, and no mitigation
was identified.
SEIR No. 339 also concluded that PTMLUP buildout had the potential to generate greenhouse gas (GHG)
emissions, either directly or indirectly (including VMT consideration), that may have a significant impact
on the environment. Specifically, SEIR No. 339 found that the Project evaluated in the SEIR would
generate substantially more GHG emissions compared to the adopted PTMLUP and would cumulatively
contribute to climate change impacts in California. Mitigation measures from several environmental
sections of SEIR No. 339 were identified to reduce GHG emissions, including: MM 2-3, MM 2-5, MM 2-6,
MM 9-1, MM 9-2, MM 9-12, MM 9-14, MM 10-7, MM 10-9, MM 10-12, MM 10-13, MM 10-14, MM 10-
18, MM 10-19, MM 10-20, MM 10-21, MM 10-22, and MM 10-24. Despite implementation of the
abovementioned mitigation measures, impacts related to GHG emissions were determined to remain
significant and unavoidable, and a Statement of Overriding Considerations was adopted by the City
Council when SEIR No. 339 was certified.
Project -Specific Analysis: A VMT assessment is required to determine potentially significant VMT
impacts associated with the Proposed Projects that meet the screening thresholds outlined in The City of
Anaheim Traffic Impact Analysis Guidelines for California Environmental Quality Act, dated June 2020.
According to the guidelines, a development project is presumed to have a less than significant VMT impact
and would be exempt from project -level VMT assessment based on the following screening criteria:
• Local -serving K-12 schools
• Pocket, neighborhood, and community parks as defined by the General Plan
• Day care centers
• Local -serving retail uses less than 50,000 square feet, including:
o Alcoholic Beverage Sales (Off -Sale and On -Sale)
o Animal -Grooming and Animal -Boarding
o Automotive Washing

o Projects generating less than 110 daily vehicle trips
Based on the screening criteria above, the Proposed Project would meet one of the City's VMT screening
criteria; Public Services. As such, the proposed fire station would result in less than significant impacts
regarding VMT and would not require a project -level VMT assessment. The level of impacts would not
increase from that identified in SEIR No. 339.
Significance Determination: No increase in significant impacts has resulted.
c) Would the project substantially increase hazards due to a geometric design feature
(e.g., sharp curves or dangerous intersections) or incompatible uses (e.g., farm
equipment)?
This impact threshold was modified by the OPR in 2018. The changes to this threshold of significance
consist of refinements and clarifications of existing requirements. Although the specific language for this
threshold of significance has changed, the analysis was considered in the SEIR No. 339 page 5.9-105.
Final I May 2022 3-88 Environmental Analysis
SUBSEQUENT ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT REPORT ADDENDUM
Platinum Triangle Fire Station No. 12 Project
Previous Significance Determination: SEIR No. 339 concluded that PTMLUP implementation would
not create sharp curves, dangerous intersections, or any other inherently hazardous design features. SEIR
No. 339 determined in accordance with MMP No. 106D, the property owner/developer would dedicate,
including necessary construction easements, the ultimate arterial highway rights -of -way as shown in the
Circulation Element of the General Plan adjacent to their property to maintain adequate levels of service
and access with the Platinum Triangle. Impacts associated with hazardous geometric design features or
incompatible land uses were considered less than significant with incorporation of SEIR No. 339 MM 9-
14 and MM 9-15. SEIR No. 339 MM 9-14 would require the preparation of any project traffic study to be
in conjunction with determination of construction for intersection improvements. SEIR No. 339 MM 9-15
would require meeting with the City Traffic Engineer and determining whether new bus stop(s) are
required adjacent to the property prior to approval of a final site plan.
Project -Specific Analysis: The proposed fire station would not substantially increase hazards due to a
geometric design feature or incompatible use and the level of impact would not increase from that
identified in SEIR No. 339. Site access for both vehicular ingress and egress would be provided via an
existing driveway along South State College Boulevard, which would be widened as part of the Proposed
Project and two new driveways along Gateway Office. Additionally, sidewalk occurs along South State
College Boulevard, west of the Project site, which provides pedestrian access to the site. Traffic signal
preemption devices would be provided for the signal at the South State College Boulevard and Gateway
Office intersection via a Remote Station Activation button. As such, Project implementation would not
substantially increase hazards due to a geometric design feature. Given that the permitted type and
intensity of development would be similar to what was previously analyzed by SEIR No. 339, the level of
impact would not increase from that identified in SEIR No. 339.
Significance Determination: No substantial increase in the level of impact from previous analysis.
d) Would the project result in inadequate emergency access?
Previous Significance Determination: SEIR No. 339 concluded that the PTMLUP's proposed roadway
system is designed to accommodate the increased traffic volumes and each development project is
required to provide appropriate fire and emergency access, as approved by the Anaheim Fire and Rescue.
All vehicle access would be designed and improved in accordance with the requirements of the City
Engineer. Impacts concerning emergency access were determined to be less than significant.
Project -Specific Analysis: Referto Responses 3.17(a) and 3.17(b). The Project would include new utility
connections, modification of the traffic signal at State College Boulevard and Gateway Office, and
driveway improvements. Partial temporary lane closures could have the potential to impact emergency
vehicle access to adjacent properties due to temporary lane closures. However, access would be
maintained throughout the construction phase of the Project. Additionally, Project implementation
would contribute to enhanced emergency response in the project area by providing a new fire station
where one does not currently exist. All improvements occurring within City right-of-way would require
preparation of a Right -of -Way Construction Application for approval by the Director of Public Works. As
Project construction would obtain all necessary permits consistent with City policies, the Project's
construction and operational impacts concerning emergency access would be less than significant, and
the level of impact would not increase from that identified in SEIR No. 339.
Significance Determination: No substantial increase in the level of impact from previous analysis.

Analysis
In 2014, the governor of California approved Assembly Bill 52 (AB 52), which expanded CEQA by
establishing a formal consultation process for California tribes within the CEQA process. The bill specifies
that any project may affect or cause a substantial adverse change in the significance of a tribal cultural
resource would require a lead agency to "begin consultation with a California Native American tribe that
is traditional and culturally affiliated with the geographic area of the proposed project." Section 21074 of
AB 52 also defines a new category of resources under CEQA called "tribal cultural resources." Tribal
cultural resources are defined as "sites, features, places, cultural landscapes, sacred places, and objects
with cultural value to a California Native American tribe" and is either listed on or eligible for the California
Register of Historical Resources (CRHR) or a local historic register, or if the lead agency chooses to treat
the resource as a tribal cultural resource.
AB 52 specifies that a project with an effect that may cause a substantial adverse change in the significance
of a tribal cultural resource, as defined, is a project that may have a significant effect on the environment.
The bill requires a lead agency to begin consultation with a California Native American tribe that is
traditionally and culturally affiliated with the geographic area of the proposed project, if the tribe
requested to the lead agency, in writing, to be informed by the lead agency of proposed projects in that
geographic area and the tribe requests consultation, prior to determining whether a negative declaration,
mitigated negative declaration, or environmental impact report is required for a project. These
requirements apply to projects that have a notice of preparation or a notice of negative declaration filed
or mitigated negative declaration on or after July 1, 2015. Thus, since this is an addendum to a previously
certified EIR, AB 52 does not apply to this Project.

Previous Significance Determination: At the time of the release of the Notice of Preparation for SEIR
No. 339, Appendix G of the CEQA Guidelines did not include environmental issues regarding potential
impacts to tribal cultural resources. As discussed in Response 3.5(a), the Initial Study for SEIR No. 339
concluded that the Platinum Triangle does not contain any historical resources as defined by CEQA
Guidelines Section 15064.5. No known historic archaeological sites within the PTMLUP were identified.
The Initial Study concluded that no impacts would occur and no mitigation was necessary. Because there
were no impacts, these resources were not further analyzed in SEIR No. 339.
Project -Specific Analysis: As discussed above, SEIR No. 339 did not address tribal cultural resources;
however, according to the SEIR No. 339 and HRA prepared for the SCEA, the Project site does not have
any on -site historical resources as defined in CEQA Guidelines Section 15064.5. Also, there are no known
historic archaeological sites located within the PTMLUP and the potential for any subsurface cultural
resources is considered remote. As the Proposed Project involves the construction of a fire station on a
developed site (paved surface parking lot) that is surrounded by developed uses, the Project's impacts
concerning Native American -related historical resources would be less than significant, and the level of
impact would not increase from that identified in SEIR No. 339.
Significance Determination: No substantial increase in the level of impact from previous analysis.
2) A resource determined by the lead agency, in its discretion and supported by substantial
evidence, to be significant pursuant to criteria set forth in subdivision (c) of Public

Public Resource Code Section 5024.1, the lead agency shall consider the significance of
the resource to a California Native American tribe.
Previous Significance Determination: At the time of the release of the Notice of Preparation for SEIR
No. 339, CEQA Guidelines Appendix G did not include environmental issues regarding potential impacts
to tribal cultural resources. Although, tribal cultural resources were not specifically evaluated in SEIR No.
332, SEIR No. 339 and its addenda, the analysis found that implementation of the Approved Project would
not result in significant impacts to cultural, historic, or archaeological resources, and that development in
the Platinum Triangle Project area would not disturb any human remains, including those interred outside
of formal cemeteries (SEIR No. 339 Appendix A, Initial Study and NOP, Page 32). It is acknowledged that
as part of SEIR No. 332 and SEIR No. 339, the City, in accordance with Senate Bill 18 (SB 18), sought
consultation with the Juaneno Band of Mission Indians, Juaneno Band of Mission Indians — Acjachemen
Nation, Gabrielino-Tongva Nation, Gabrielino-Tongva Tribe, and the Gabrielino Tongva San Gabriel Band
of Mission Indians; however, no response or request for consultation was received by the City. During
preparation of Addenda 6 of SEIR No. 339, additional consultation was required in compliance with SB 18.
Consultation letters were provided to various Native American representatives by the City. The City
received a response from the Gabrieleno Band of Mission Indians requesting a tribal monitor be present

of approval for the Approved Project.
Project -Specific Analysis: As discussed above, the Proposed Project is not subject to AB 52 and did not
undergo the AB 52 consultation process. Nonetheless, no Native American historical or archaeological
resources were identified within the Project vicinity as part of SEIR No. 332, SEIR No. 339 and its addenda
and no new impacts have been identified since certification of SEIR No. 339. In accordance with SB 18, the

WATER FACILITIES
SEIR No. 339 determined that buildout of the PTMLUP would require the addition of new water facilities.
The SEIR determined that compliance with Rule 15-D would ensure that adequate water facilities are
provided to serve the PTMLUP. SEIR No. 339 found impacts associated with new or expanded water
facilities to be less than significant with incorporation of SEIR No. 339 MMs 10-1 through 10-16.
WASTEWATER TREATMENT FACILITIES
SEIR No. 339 determined that buildout of the PTMLUP would require sewer improvements. With
implementation of improvements, the sewer system, including sewer treatment, was anticipated to
accommodate development within the PTMLUP area based on future buildout conditions. SEIR No. 339
found impacts associated with new or expanded wastewater treatment facilities to be less than
significant with incorporation of SEIR No. 339 MMs 10-1 through 10-16.
STORMWATER DRAINAGE FACILITIES
SEIR No. 339 noted that the Master Plan of Storm Drainage for East Garden Grove Wintersburg Channel
Tributary Area identified that the existing storm drainage system was deficient under the existing
conditions in the PTMLUP area at the time the SEIR was prepared. SEIR No. 339 concluded that
construction of storm drain facilities would occur in compliance with the standard engineering rules and
regulations and would not result in a significant environmental effect. Impacts associated with
stormwater drainage facilities were determined to be less than significant with incorporation of SEIR No.
339 MM 5.5-3 and MM 10-17.
DRY UTILITIES
According to SEIR No. 339, the PTMLUP area receives electricity, natural gas, and telecommunication
services from Anaheim Public Utilities (APU), Southern California Gas Company (SoCal Gas), and Time
Warner Cable and AT&T, respectively. SEIR No. 339 determined that project implementation would
require the construction of electricity, natural gas, and telecommunication facilities. Impacts associated
with dry utilities were determined to be less than significant with incorporation of SEIR No. 332 MM 10-
21 through 10-24 and SEIR No. 339 MM 10-2S through 10-27.
Project -Specific Analysis:
WATER FACILITIES
A Water Supply Assessment was prepared for the Approved Project, which included the Project site in
conjunction with SEIR No. 339. The Water Supply Assessment concluded that projected water supplies
would meet demands through fiscal year 2030. An updated water supply verification was performed for
SEIR No. 339 Addendum 6, which confirmed water supply through 2040. Projected water demands from
the Approved Project in SEIR No. 339 were included in the City's 2010 Urban Water Management Plan
(UWMP). The City's 2010 UWMP, which was referenced in SEIR No. 339, has since been updated. The
City's 2020 UWMP, which was adopted on June 2021, is the most current UWMP available. As with the
2010 UWMP, the Proposed Project is considered in the water demand projections included in the City's
2020 UWMP. The projections provided in the 2020 UWMP consider water development programs and

projects as well as water conservation measures. Furthermore, the City's groundwater and imported
water supplies are anticipated to remain stable based on studies and reports from the Orange County
Water District (OCWD) and the Metropolitan Water District of Southern California (Metropolitan),
respectively. The Proposed Project would comply with Municipal Code Sections 18.46.070, Required
Landscaping — Irrigation Requirements, and 10.19.050, Landscape Water Use Standards, for water
reductions as envisioned in the UWMP. The City's 2020 UWMP concluded that sufficient water supply is
available to meet water demand in normal, dry, and multiple dry years.
The Proposed Project is consistent with the General Plan and Zoning for the site. As such, the Project was
considered as part of the 2020 UWMP and the proposed fire station would not require or result in the
construction of new water facilities or expansion of existing facilities. The Proposed Project would entail
the construction and development of a new fire station on an existing paved parking lot; thus, resulting in
construction of new pipelines and utilities to accommodate the new development. Water services are
provided to the site via an existing 16-inch water main line in South State College Boulevard, which is
connected to an existing eight -inch domestic water line that extends along the northern boundary of the
Project site. To reduce impacts related to water demand, SEIR No. 339 MM 10-7 through MM 10-9 would
require the submittal of landscape plans (prior to the issuance of a building permit), engineering studies,
and installation of a separate irrigation meter, respectively, to regulate water usage on -site. Additionally,
the Proposed Project would connect to the City's existing water infrastructure and would install irrigation
lines for recycled water (SEIR No. 339 MM 10-14), and indicate water efficient design features (SEIR No.
339 MM 10-13). Although the Proposed Project would increase water demand on -site, the construction
of a new fire station was previously analyzed by SEIR No. 339, and the level of impact would not increase
from that identified in SEIR No. 339. Therefore, less than significant impacts would occur with
implementation of SEIR No. 339 MM 10-7 through MM 10-9, and MM 10-13 through MM 10-14 and the
level of impact associated with the Proposed Project would not increase from that identified in SEIR No.
339.
WASTEWATER TREATMENT FACILITIES
The Orange County Sanitation District (OCSD) oversees treatment facilities that serve the City of Anaheim.
Wastewater generated by the Proposed Project would be treated at Plant No. 1 or Plant No. 2.
The proposed fire station would not require or result in the construction of new wastewater treatment
facilities or expansion of existing facilities. The Proposed Project would entail the construction and
development of a new fire station on an existing paved parking lot; thus, necessitating the construction
of new on -site wastewater utility connections. As stated, the City of Anaheim provides sewer collection
services for the site through the OCSD sewer system. The Project would construct a new private on -site
sewer system consisting of a proposed minimum six-inch sewer line that would connect to an existing 12-
inch sewer main in South State College Boulevard. Although the Proposed Project would increase
wastewater on -site, the construction of a new fire station was previously analyzed by SEIR No. 339, and
the level of impact would not increase from that identified in SEIR No. 339. Further, the Project is
consistent with the General Plan and Zoning for the site, and thus, would be consistent with the buildout
assumptions for the area. Implementation of SEIR No. 339 MM 10-3 and MM 10-6 would further minimize
potential impacts regarding wastewater. During the Site Plan design phase of the Project, the City would
be required to implement SIER No. 339 MM 10-3, which would require coordination with OCSD regarding
sewer capabilities, and SEIR No. 339 MM 10-6, which would require analysis of surcharge levels.
Therefore, with incorporated of the SEIR No. 339 MM 10-3 and MM 10-6, less than significant impacts
would occur and the level of impact associated with the Proposed Project would not increase from that
identified in SEIR No. 339.

STORMWATER DRAINAGE FACILITIES
Stormwater and non-stormwater runoff generated within City limits is transported through the City's
stormwater system, and then discharged, untreated, into local waterbodies such as the Santa Ana River.
To accommodate the fire station, the Project would implement water quality features such as a
stormwater basin sized to meet the Project's design capture volume in accordance with the City's MS4
permit requirement; refer to Section 3.10, Hydrology and Water Ouality. As such, the Proposed Project
would not exceed what was previously analyzed by SEIR No. 339. Given that the construction of a new
fire station was previously analyzed by SEIR No. 339, the level of impact would not increase from that
identified in SEIR No. 339.
DRY UTILITIES
The Proposed Project would result in a nominal increase in demands for natural gas and
telecommunication facilities services. Natural gas services would be provided by the Southern California
Gas Company (SoCal Gas) and telecommunication services would be provided by Time Warner Cable and
AT&T. The Project would involve constructing new private on -site dry utility lines to serve the Proposed
Project. The new fire station would be supplied with a minimum two-inch gas service with seismic shut-
off valve and both electric and fiberoptic cables are currently provided on -site. Given that the
construction of a new fire station was previously analyzed by SEIR No. 339, the level of impact would not
increase from that identified in SEIR No. 339. Additionally, the Project would be required to submit energy
calculations that demonstrate each new structure exceeds Title 24 standards by 10 percent (SEIR No. 332

332 MM 10-24 and SEIR No. 339 MM 10-26 through MM 10-27).Therefore, with implementation of SEIR
No. 332 MM 10-21 and 10-24 and SEIR No. 339 MM 10-26 through 10-27, less than significant impacts
would occur and the level of impact associated with the Proposed Project would not increase from that
identified in SEIR No. 339.
Significance Determination: No substantial increase in the level of impact from previous analysis.
b) Would the project have sufficient water supplies available to serve the project and
reasonably foreseeable future development during normal, dry, and multiple dry years?
This impact threshold was modified by the OPR in 2018. The changes to this threshold of significance
consist of refinements and clarifications of existing requirements. Although the specific language for this
threshold of significance has changed, the analysis was considered in SEIR No. 339, pages 5.10-27 through
5.10-30 and 5.10-39 through 5.10-42.
Previous Significance Determination: SEIR No. 339 determined that based on the Water Supply
Assessment for the PTMLUP, there would be surplus water through the 20-year planning period. The SEIR
impacts associated with water supplies to be less than significant with incorporation of SEIR No. 339 MMs
10-7 through 10-16.
Project -Specific Analysis: Refer to Response 3.19(a). The proposed fire station would not exceed
available watersupply and demand from what was previously analyzed by SEIR No. 339. Additionally, the
Proposed Project is consistent with the General Plan and Zoning for the site. As such, the Project was
considered as part of the 2020 UWMP, which concluded that sufficient water supply is available to meet
water demand in normal, dry, and multiple dry years. Given that the construction of a new fire station
was previously analyzed by SEIR No. 339 and the Project is consistent with the General Plan and Zoning

for the site, the level of impact would not increase from that identified in SEIR No. 339. To further reduce
impacts related to water demand, SEIR No. 339 MM 10-7 through MM 10-9 would require the submittal
of landscape plans (prior to the issuance of a building permit), engineering studies, and installation of a
separate irrigation meter, respectively, to regulate water usage on -site. Additionally, the Proposed
Project would connect to the City's existing water infrastructure and would install irrigation lines for
recycled water (SEIR No. 339 MM 10-14), and indicate water efficient design features (SEIR No. 339 MM
10-13). Therefore, compliance with SEIR No. 339 MM 10-7 through MM 10-9, and MM 10-13 through
MM 10-14, less than significant impacts would occur.
Significance Determination: No substantial increase in the level of impact from previous analysis.
c) Would the project result in a determination by the wastewater treatment provider, which
serves or may serve the project that it has adequate capacity to serve the projectes
projected demand in addition to the provider's existing commitments?
Previous Significance Determination: SEIR No. 339 determined that buildout of the PTMLUP would
require sewer improvements. With implementation of improvements, the sewer system, including sewer
treatment, was anticipated to accommodate development within the PTMLUP area based on future
buildout conditions. SEIR No. 339 found impacts associated with wastewater treatment service to be less
than significant with the incorporation of SEIR No. 339 MMs 10-1 through 10-6.
Project -Specific Analysis: Refer to Response 3.19(a). The proposed fire station would not increase
demand on existing wastewater treatment facilities. The Proposed Project would include the
construction of new pipelines and utilities to accommodate the new fire station. As stated in Response
3.19(a), the City of Anaheim provides sewer collection services for the site through the OCSD sewer
system. The Project would construct a new private on -site sewer system consisting of a proposed
minimum six-inch sewer line that would connect to an existing 12-inch sewer main in South State College
Boulevard. Although the Proposed Project would increase wastewater on -site, the construction of a new
fire station was previously analyzed by SEIR No. 339, and the level of impact would not increase from that
identified in SEIR No. 339. Additionally, the Project is consistent with the General Plan and Zoning for the
site, and thus, would be consistent with the buildout assumptions for the area. Implementation of SEIR
No. 339 MM 10-3 and MM 10-6 would further minimize potential impacts regarding wastewater. During
the Site Plan design phase of the Project, the City would be required to implement SIER No. 339 MM 10-
3, which would require coordination with OCSD regarding sewer capabilities, and SEIR No. 339 MM 10-6,
which would require analysis of surcharge levels. Therefore, with incorporated of the SEIR No. 339 MM
10-3 and MM 10-6, less than significant impacts would occur and the level of impact associated with the
Proposed Project would not increase from that identified in SEIR No. 339.
Significance Determination: No substantial increase in the level of impact from previous analysis.
d) Would the project generate solid waste in excess of State or local standards, or in
excess of the capacity of local infrastructure, or otherwise impair the attainment of
solid waste reduction goals?
This impact threshold was modified by the OPR in 2018. The changes to this threshold of significance
consist of refinements and clarifications of existing requirements. Although the specific language for this
threshold of significance has changed, the analysis was considered in SEIR No. 339, pages 5.10-33 through
5.10-34 and 5.10-42 through 5.10-43.

Platinum Triangle Fire Station No. 12 Project
Previous Significance Determination: SEIR No. 339 determined that the Olinda Alpha Landfill is the
closest facility to the PTMLUP area and would be the solid waste facility most often receiving waste from
the area. Implementation of the PTMLUP would increase the service demand for solid waste disposal
beyond existing conditions and would provide more solid waste to the Olinda Alpha Landfill. The SEIR
concluded that there would be available landfill capacity in the Orange County landfill system to
accommodate the anticipated solid waste stream generated by implementation of the PTMLUP. SEIR No.
339 found impacts associated with landfill capacity to be less than significant with the incorporation of
SEIR No. 339 MMs 10-18 through 10-20.
Project -specific Analysis: The City of Anaheim disposes over 99 percent of the City's solid waste at the
five landfills identified in Table 3.19-1, Landfills Summar:,.:. The five landfills serving Anaheim have a total
permitted capacity of approximately 7.2 million cubic yards plus an additional 45,554 tons per day

Project construction would involve limited amounts of demolition (existing asphalt) and excavation of
existing materials and soils (associated with utilities and installation of water/sewer pipes, etc.) which
would require minimal solid waste hauling. Operationally, the Project would nominally increase solid
waste production and the volume would not be substantially larger than that identified in SEIR No. 339
such that surrounding landfills identified in Table 3.19-1 would be overburdened by the Project's solid
waste disposal needs. The disposal of solid waste associated with Project construction and operations
would be subject to compliance with all federal, State, and local statutes and regulations related to solid
waste, including the 50 percent diversion of solid waste requirement pursuant to the California
Integrated Waste Management Act of 1989 (AB 939). Pursuant to AB 939, the City of Anaheim has
prepared a Source Reduction and Recycling Element (SSRE). The City implemented their SRRE to ensure
that their respective solid waste reduction goals continue to be met. The Proposed Project would be
required to comply with such goals stipulated under the City's SRRE for diverting solid waste, as
applicable. With adherence to all federal, State, and local statutes and regulations related to solid waste
and incorporation of SEIR No. 339 MM 10-18 and MM 10-19, which would require approval of Project
plans by the Streets and Sanitation Division of the Public Works Department (SEIR No. 339 MM 10-18),

and implementation of recycling techniques (SEIR No. 339 MM 10-19), impacts would be less than
significant, and the level of impact would not increase from that identified in SEIR No. 339.
Significance Determination: No substantial increase in the level of impact from previous analysis.
e) Would the project comply with federal, State, and local management and reduction
statutes and regulations related to solid waste?
This impact threshold was modified by the OPR in 2018. The changes to this threshold of significance
consist of refinements and clarifications of existing requirements. Although the specific language for this
threshold of significance has changed, the analysis was considered in SEIR No. 339, pages 5.10-33 through
5.10-34 and 5.10-42 through 5.10-43.
Previous Significance Determination: SEIR No. 339 concluded that implementation of the PTMLUP
would generate increased construction and operational solid waste in the area, so therefore each
development project in the PTMLUP area would be required to submit project plans to the Streets and
Sanitation Division of the Public Works Department for review and approval to ensure that the plans
comply with the Solid Waste Act of 1989 (AB 939) and the County of Orange and the City of Anaheim
Integrated Waste Management Program, as administered by the City of Anaheim. SEIR No. 339 found
impacts associated with solid waste statutes and regulations to be less than significant with incorporation
of SEIR No. 339 MM 10-18 through MM 10-20.
Project -Specific Analysis: Refer to Response 3.19(d). The disposal of solid waste associated with
Project construction and operations would be subject to compliance with all federal, State, and local
statutes and regulations related to solid waste, including the 50 percent diversion of solid waste
requirement pursuant to the California Integrated Waste Management Act of 1989 (AB 939). Pursuant to
AB 939, the City of Anaheim has prepared a Source Reduction and Recycling Element. The City
implemented their SHE to ensure that their respective solid waste reduction goals continue to be met.
The Proposed Project would comply with such goals stipulated under the City's SHE for diverting solid
waste, as applicable. Additionally, incorporation of SEIR No. 339 MM 10-18and MM 10-19, which would
require approval of Project plans by the Streets and Sanitation Division of the Public Works Department
(SEIR No. 339 MM 10-18), implementation of recycling techniques (SEIR No. 339 MM 10-19) would ensure
the Project complies with AB 939, the Solid Waste Reduction Act of 1989, and the County of Orange and
City of Anaheim Integrated Waste Management Plans as administered by the City of Anaheim. Impacts
concerning compliance with the statutes and regulations in place relative to solid waste disposal would
be less than significant, and the level of impact would not increase from that identified in SEIR No. 339.
Significance Determination: No substantial increase in the level of impact from previous analysis.

3.20 WILDFIRE
SEIR No. 339 did not evaluate impact related to wildfire as it was not required in the CEQA Guidelines at
the time SEIR No. 339 was prepared.
On October 26, 2010, the City of Anaheim certified the SEI R No. 339, which analyzed the potential impacts
associated with development of the revised Platinum Triangle Expansion Project. Although this previous
environmental document did not include a specific wildfire analysis, a supplemental environmental
analysis of wildfire impacts cannot be required absent new information on that front. The implementation
of project design features and mitigation measures related to wildfire have typically been incorporated
into hazard and hazardous materials analysis. Thus, the effect of wildfires would have been raised in 2010
when the City considered the EIR. A challenge to an EIR must be brought within 30 days of the lead
agency's notice of approval. (Pub. Resources Code, § 21167[bj.) Under Public Resources Code Section
21166(c), an agency may not require a supplemental environmental review unless new information, which
was not known and could not have been known at the time the EIR was approved, becomes available.
After a project has been subjected to environmental review, the statutory presumption flips in favor of
the project proponent and against further review. (Moss v. County of Humboldt [2008] 162 Cal.App.4th
1041, 1049-1050.) "'[S]ection 21166 comes into play precisely because in-depth review has already
occurred [and] the time for challenging the sufficiency of the original EIR has long since expired.'" (Id.,
1050.) There is no competent evidence of new information of severe impact, and thus the City may rely
on an addendum. Accordingly, the City finds that wildfire is not "new information" under Public Resources
Code Section 21166.

or wildlife population to drop below self-sustaining levels, threaten to eliminate a plant
or animal community, substantially reduce the number or restrict the range of a rare or
endangered plant or animal, or eliminate important examples of the major periods of
California history or prehistory?
No substantial change from previous analysis. As concluded in Section 3.1 through 3.20 of this
Addendum, Project implementation would not substantially degrade the quality of the environment.
Project implementation would not substantially reduce the habitat of a fish or wildlife species, cause a
fish or wildlife population to drop below self-sustaining levels, or reduce the number or restrict the range
of a rare or endangered plant or animal beyond the level of impact as previously analyzed in SEIR No. 339;
refer to Section 3.4. Biolonical Resources. As indicated in Section 3.5, Cultural Resources, the Project site
does not contain important examples of the major periods of California history or prehistory. It is
acknowledged that one historic resource is located 0.45 mile to the southeast. As such, the historic
resource is located at a sufficient distance to not be affected by Project -related activities. No additional
information of substantial importance concerning these issue areas has been discovered since SEIR No.
339 certification. Therefore, Project implementation would not result in any new impacts or increase the
severity of impacts previously identified by SEIR No. 339, and no substantial change would occur.

b) Does the project have impacts that are individually limited, but cumulatively
considerable? ("Cumulatively considerable" means that the incremental effects of a
project are considerable when viewed in connection with the effects of past projects,
the effects of other current projects, and the effects of probable future projects)?
No substantial change from previous analysis. SEIR No. 339 concluded that implementation of the
PTMLUP would result in significant and unavoidable cumulative impacts to air quality, and a Statement
of Overriding Considerations was adopted by the City of Anaheim. The Project involves a new fire station,
consistent with that previously analyzed as part of the PTMLUP buildout in SEIR No. 339. Based on the
Project site's disturbed conditions, it is not anticipated that Project implementation would result in any
new cumulative impacts or increase the severity of a previously identified significant cumulative impact
as previously identified by SEIR No. 339, and no substantial change would occur.
c) Does the project have environmental effects which will cause substantial adverse
effects on human beings, either directly or indirectly?
No substantial change from previous analysis. The Project would not result in environmental effects
which would cause a direct or indirect effect on human beings, following conformance with existing
adopted SEIR No. 339 mitigation measures and the established regulatory framework. Based on the
nature of the proposed improvements, Project implementation would not result in any new impacts or
increase the severity of previously identified significant impacts as previously identified by SEIR No. 339,
and no substantial change would occur.
