The proposed building would be 45 feet in height and include 84 dock doors in a cross-dock configuration. The Project would provide automobile parking stalls in excess of the requirements of the Orange Municipal Code, which requires 47 automobile parking stalls. The Project would provide a total of 62 automobile parking stalls consisting of 59 standard parking stalls, 2 standard accessible parking stalls, and one 12 feet by 18 feet accessible parking stall. Additionally, the Project would provide 188 trailer parking stalls. The Project involves the demolition of the existing 40,000 sf manufacturing facility and removal of the existing, private spur located on the east side of the site. ENVIRONMENTAL INFORMATION A Mitigated Negative Declaration (MND) was originally prepared for the proposed 534 Struck Avenue Project. On September 23, 2021, the City circulated a Notice of Intent to Adopt Mitigated Negative Declaration No. 1870-20 for the Project. The MND was circulated for public review from September 23, 2021, to October 25, 2021. During the 30-day public review period, comments received requested additional technical analysis (e.g., air quality and noise modeling, traffic). Therefore, in order to address the environmental concerns raised, additional analyses were prepared and an Environmental Impact Report (EIR) was prepared to provide comprehensive environmental review of the Project. The EIR, California State Clearinghouse (SCH) No. 2021090399, was prepared in accordance with CEQA Guidelines Article 9, Sections 15120-15132 to evaluate the potential environmental impacts associated with planning, constructing, and operating the proposed Project. This EIR does not recommend approval or denial of the proposed Project; rather, this EIR is a source of factual information regarding potential environmental impacts that may result from implementation of the Project. The Draft EIR was made available for public review for a minimum period of 45 days, between March 31, 2023, and May 15, 2023. The City prepared and published responses to written comments received on the environmental effects of the Project. The Final EIR will be considered for certification by the City of Orange decision-makers. Pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Section 15087(c)(6), the Project site is listed on the EnviroStor database for a historic recognized environmental condition; however, a no further action was recommended as remediation of soil was completed by Orange County. Implementation of the proposed Project may result in significant environmental effects related to the following topical issues: • Biological Resources (impacts to nesting migratory birds) • Cultural Resources (potential to encounter significant subsurface archaeological resources) • Geology and Soils (potential to unearth and adversely impact paleontological resources) • Hazards and Hazardous Materials (soils contaminated with VOCs) • Tribal Cultural Resources (potential to unearth and adversely impact tribal cultural resources) Copies of the document are available for public review at City Hall, in the Offices of the City Clerk and Community Development Department and were posted to the Departments web page on the City’s web site at: https://cityoforange.prod.govaccess.org/our-city/departments/community- development/planning-division/current-projects PROPERTY OWNER: Prologis L.P. PROJECT APPLICANT: Prologis L.P.
