*:/ : 11-1 h WA <br />that serves local community would actually generate less trips than evaluated in Table 7. Such increase in trips <br />would not result in significant traffic impact. The proposed pfojeces impacts on existing roadway conditions <br />would be negligible. <br />Construction would be temporary and considering the size and scale of the proposed park, which would be <br />0.42 acres and no building area for the 6u Street Site and 1.09 acres and no permanent building area other than <br />maybe a restroom building for the Raitt Street Site, relatively minor construction traffic would occur as <br />compared to the existing traffic volumes on the streets in the project area. Impacts would be less than <br />significant. <br />Non -motorized Transportation and Transit <br />The project would generate a demand for non motorized travel as the proposed park would result in additional <br />pedestrians, bicycles, and skaters in the project area. The streets in the project vicinity have sidewalks along <br />both sides of the street and the signalized intersections are equipped with painted crosswalks, pedestrian signals, <br />and pedestrian push buttons to activate the signals. <br />The proposed project would not adversely affect the performance of these transit or non -motorized <br />transportation facilities and would not conflict with any plans or policies relative to these transportation modes. <br />b) Conflict or be inconsistent with CEQA Guidelines § 15064.3, subdivision (b)? <br />Less Than Significant Impact. On December 28, 2018, the California Natural Resources Agency adopted <br />revised CEQA Guidelines, one of which was the removal of vehicle delay and level of service (LOS) from <br />consideration under CEQA. Transportation impacts will instead be evaluated based on a pfojecfs effect on <br />vehicle miles traveled (VM'I). The City of Santa Ana adopted its VAIT threshold one June 18, 2019. According <br />the city's VMT Impact Thresholds under project type screening method, land use projects that generate less <br />than 110 daily trips do not require VMT analysis, which assumes that the project is consistent with SCAG <br />RTP/SCS. The proposed project is projected to generate less than 8 daily trips, therefore, VM'I' impacts would <br />be considered less than significant under the city's VM'f Impact Threshold. No mitigation measures are <br />required. <br />c) Substantially increase hazards due to a geometric design feature (e.g., sharp curves or dangerous <br />intersections) or incompatible uses (e.g., farm equipment)? <br />Less Than Significant Impact With Mitigation Incorporated. The increased levels of traffic during <br />construction and the increased number of pedestrians and bicycles at the site during operation would result in <br />an increased number of traffic conflicts and a corresponding increase in the probability of an accident <br />occurring. However, there are no sharp curves or dangerous intersections, of incompatible uses adjacent to <br />both replacement park sites. <br />The 6th Street Site fronts two straight streets, both equipped with sidewalks. Because this site is adjacent to <br />Garfield Elementary School, two crossing stripes are present on Lacy Street and 6u Street. The Raitt Street Site <br />also fronts two straight streets, both equipped with sidewalks. However, the adjacent intersections are <br />unsignalized and no crossings are present. <br />75C-121 <br />
