ONE BROADWAY PLAZA PROJECT EIR ADDENDUM CITY OF SANTA ANA 5. Environmental Analysis Development Fee. The payment of the fee would ensure that the Proposed Project's impacts are less than significant. b) Does the project include recreational facilities or require the construction or expansion of recreational facilities, which might have an adverse physical effect on the environment? No Impact. As with the Approved Project, no public recreational facilities are proposed as part of the Proposed Project. The Proposed Project would not create a new significant impact or a substantial increase in the severity of previously identified effects that would require the preparation of a subsequent EIR. 5.16.3 Adopted Mitigation Measures Applicable to the Proposed Project No mitigation measures related to recreation were identified in the Certified EIR. 5.17 TRANSPORTATION 5.17.1 Summary of Previous Environmental Analysis Primary arterial access to the Approved Projectwould be provided by Main Street and Broadway. The Approved Project includes the development of an eight -level parking garage which would have access from two locations: (1) north access along Washington and Sycamore and (2) south access along Sycamore and an exit only driveway on Broadway. Implementation of the Approved Project would alter the circulation of adjacent roadways, which would impact surface transportation routes adjacent to and in the vicinity of the Project Site. The Approved Project could impact traffic through neighborhoods. After incorporation of identified mitigation measures, the Approved Project would result in a less than significant impact to surface transportation routes and neighborhood traffic. The Certified EIR determined that the Approved Project would not impact any existing bus routes or other transit facilities along Broadway; however, the Approved Project would generate workers who are likely to use the bus system. The Approved Project would temporarily remove sidewalks along most of the Project Site to accommodate project construction and will be re -constructed by project as part of street improvements. The Approved Project incorporates mitigation measures to address increased bus demand and pedestrian facilities and would result in a less than significant impact. The Approved Proj ect would be required to comply with the City's Transportation Demand Management Ordinance. Implementation of the Approved Project would result in two street segments (Main Street between 17th Street and 1st Street and Broadway between (Santa Clara Avenue and 1st Street) and seven intersections (Main Street & 17th Street; Broadway Street & 17th; Main Street & Washington Avenue; Broadway Street & 4th Street; 1st Street & Flower Street; Santa Ana Boulevard & Flower Street; and Fairview & 1st Street) exceeding the level of service thresholds. After the incorporation of mitigation measures, the impact at these intersections and roadway segments remain significant and unavoidable. 5.17.2 Impacts Associated with the Proposed Project Would the Proposed Project: Apri12020 Page 81
