EXHIBIT A 9.17.13 Transportation and Traffic As detailed in DEIR Section 4.11, Transportation and Traffic, the proposed Project would not result in impacts in the cumulative 2020 and 2040 conditions pursuant to the Caltrans, City of Santa Ana, and City or Orange thresholds and methodology. (DEIR, pp. 4.11-10 and 4.11-11.) As detailed in DEIR Tables 4.11-9 through 4.11-36, the proposed Project would not conflict with or result in an exceedance of a threshold by any of the following: 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. In addition, the Traffic Impact Analysis details that the capacities of the Park Santiago neighborhood intersections and roadways are substantially higher than the daily trip generation of the proposed Project. As such, cumulative impacts related to neighborhood traffic would be less than cumulatively significant. Also, the DEIR details that Project access locations and circulation around the Project site would be adequate, and cumulative impacts related to queuing would be less than cumulatively considerable. For these reasons detailed in the DEIR, the Project's cumulative effects relating to transportation and traffic would not be cumulatively considerable when considered with past, current, and future probable projects. (DEIR, pp. 4.11-41.) 9.17.14 Utilities and Service Systems Water The Project would install new water lines to serve the proposed buildings and connect to the existing system that is adjacent to the Project site. The water system has been designed the proposed Project and would be served by existing infrastructure. Thus, the proposed Project would not result in the requirement for new or expanded off-site water infrastructure that could combine with other water infrastructure needs to result in an environmental impact. Thus, potential cumulative impacts from off-site water system expansions would not occur from the proposed Project. The Water Supply Assessment (WSA) that was prepared for the Project describes that the 2015 MWD UWMP details the ability to meet the demands of its member agencies, including the City of Santa Ana, through 2040. In addition, the City of Santa Ana 2015 UWMP confirmed the ability of the local supplies and the OC Basin to meet the growing demands of the City in multiple climate scenarios. Also, as described previously the increased water demand from the proposed Project would be between 2.7 and 4.3 percent of the 2015 UWMP anticipated increase. Thus, the City would have water supplies available to serve the Project from existing entitlements, and cumulative water supply needs would be able to be met as detailed by the MWD and City's UWMPs. As a result, the proposed Project would not result in a cumulatively considerable increase in water supply demands that would require new or expanded entitlements. For these reasons detailed in the DEIR, the Project's cumulative effects relating to water supplies would not be cumulatively considerable when considered with past, current, and future probable projects.

Wastewater DEIR Section 4.13, Utilities and Service Systems, the existing sewer system has sufficient capacity to handle the increased flows resulting from implementation of the proposed Project.
