W:cu:lrd"TA system, including but not limited to intersections, streets, highways and freeways, pedestrian and bicycle paths, and mass transit? Threshold: Would the Project conflict with an applicable congestion management program, including, but not limited to level of service standards and travel demand measures, or other standards established by the county congestion management agency for designated roads or highways? Finding: Less than significant impact. (DEIR, p. 4.11-12 through 4.11-32.) Facts in Support of Finding: The Project would not conflict with an applicable plan, ordinance or policy establishing measures of effectiveness for the performance of the circulation system, including the Orange County Congestion Management Program, Caltrans Measures of Effectiveness, City of Santa Ana General Plan Circulation Element, and the City of Orange General Plan Circulation Element. Based on the thresholds identified in these plans, the Project would result in a less than significant impact, as further explained in the DEIR. Notably, the vehicular trips that would be generated by the Project would not cause an exceedance of any traffic level of service threshold at any intersection or roadway segment. (DEIR, p. 4.11-12 through 4.11-32.) For the reasons discussed above and the reasons discussed in the DEIR, impacts associated with this issue would be less than significant, and no mitigation is required. (DEIR, p. 4.11-12 through 4.11-32.) 9.15.2 Air Traffic Patterns Threshold: Would the Project result in a change in air traffic patterns, including either an increase in traffic levels or a change in location that results in substantial safety risks? Finding: No impact. (DEIR, p. 2-8, Initial Study, p. 58.) Facts in Support of Finding: The Project does not propose any uses that would affect air traffic patterns or air traffic levels. No portion of the Project would change air traffic patterns by extending into airspace. The closest operating airport is over 6 miles south of the Project site. The Project would not result in a change in air traffic patterns. (DEIR, p. 2-8, Initial Study, p. 58.) For the reasons discussed above and the reasons discussed in the DEIR, impacts associated with this issue would be less than significant, and no mitigation is required. (DEIR, p. 2-8, Initial Study, p. 58.) 9.15.3 Design Feature Hazards Threshold: Would the Project substantially increase hazards due to a design feature (e.g., sharp curves or dangerous intersections) or incompatible uses (e.g., farm equipment)? Finding: Less than significant impact. (DEIR, pp. 4.11-33.) Facts in Support of Finding: The Project would not result in hazards related to a design feature or incompatible use. The Project driveways include direct access to the parking structure, and access from N. Main Street would be restricted to right -tum ingress/right-tum egress to provide for safe and effective circulation. As noted in the Traffic Impact Analysis referenced in the DEIR, motorists entering and exiting the Project site would be able to do so comfortably, safely, and without undue congestion. Moreover, and as noted by the Traffic Impact Analysis, the neighborhood intersections and roadway have adequate capacity to support the Project. (DEIF, pp. 4.11-33.)
