2525 North Main Street January 14, 2019 Page 21 The Persons Per Household Evaluation within the EIR determined that the number of persons per dwelling unit is anticipated to be 1.6 per studio, 1.6 per one -bedroom, 2.7 per two-bedroom and 3.9 per three-bedroom which with the applicant's proposed project would be 955 residents. In addition, 1,236 multi -family units are proposed within the City of Santa Ana and 3,324 multi- family units within the City of Orange (5,056 units total). The total cumulative housing growth from all of the projects listed equals 7.4 percent, which is consistent with SCAG's growth estimates of 8.4 percent increase. In 2020, the project and cumulative projects are anticipated to generate 4,306 a.m. peak hour trips, 4,359 p.m. peak hour trips, and 49,842 daily trips. In 2020, with the cumulative project trips, all study area intersections are forecast to operate at satisfactory levels of service, except for the Main Street/Santa Clara/1-5 northbound on ramp and the SR -22 eastbound ramps at Town and Country Road in both the a.m, and p.m. peak hours. However, the SR -22 eastbound ramps at Town and Country Road also operate at unsatisfactory conditions under existing conditions. In 2040, the intersections are anticipated to operate at an unsatisfactory level of service with or without the project. Impacts to Public Services Section 4.10 of the Draft EIR analyzed the impacts of the project on fire service, police service and parks and recreation service. CEQA focuses on the physical effects of the project (i.e. new or expanded facilities), therefore an increase in staffing or calls for service would not, by itself, be considered a physical change in the environment. As proposed the project would result in a less than significant impact to public services. Impacts to Utilities Sections 4.13 and 4.14 of the Draft EIR analyzed the impacts of the project on water supply, wastewater, drainage, water quality, and energy. Technical reports including a Water Supply Assessment, Sewer Analysis and Hydrology Report were prepared for the project. As proposed the project would result in a less than significant impact to utilities and services. Noise Section 4.8 of the Draft EIR analyzed noise impacts related to construction operations and operational noise from HVAC equipment, parking facilities, trash removal and use of the outdoor open space. Based on the SAMC noise standards the project would not general noise levels that would exceed noise standards. To mitigate construction noise two mitigation measures are proposed, one to require a 50 -foot buffer along the east property line for large mobile construction equipment and installation of a temporary noise barrier such as vinyl acoustic curtains or quilted blankets attached to the east property line wall or temporary fence posts. 75E-289
