<br /> <br />CARLSBAD <br />FRESNO <br />IRVINE <br />LOS ANGELES <br />PALM SPRINGS <br />POINT RICHMOND <br />RIVERSIDE <br />ROSEVILLE <br />SAN LUIS OBISPO <br />20 Executive Park, Suite 200, Irvine, California 92614 949.553.0666 www.lsa.net <br />MEMORANDUM <br />DATE: September 7, 2018 <br />TO: Kenny Nguyen, P.E., Senior Civil Engineer, City of Santa Ana <br />FROM: Sarah Rieboldt, Ph.D., Senior Paleontological Resources Manager, LSA <br />SUBJECT: Paleontological Analysis of the Fairview Street Improvements from 9th Street to <br />16th Street and Bridge Replacement Project, Santa Ana, Orange County, California <br />INTRODUCTION <br />The City of Santa Ana (City), in conjunction with the California Department of Transportation <br />(Caltrans) District 12, proposes to widen Fairview Street between 9th Street and 16th Street, <br />including replacing the Fairview Street bridge crossing over the Santa Ana River (proposed Project) <br />in Santa Ana, California. The purpose of the project is to reduce congestion and improve pedestrian <br />and bicyclist safety on Fairview Street between 9th Street and 16th Street, consistent with the <br />Orange County Master Plan of Arterial Highways and the City’s General Plan Circulation Element. <br />South of 9th Street, Fairview Street provides three lanes in each direction which are reduced to two <br />lanes in each direction north of 9th Street, across the existing four‐lane bridge, to 16th Street. The <br />Fairview Street segment between 9th Street and 16th Street is the only constraint for Fairview <br />Street to be built out to its planned width of six lanes. This condition causes a traffic “bottleneck” <br />during peak hours. In addition, there are no sidewalks, bikeways, or lighting on the existing bridge. <br />Pedestrians and bicyclists currently use the roadway shoulder to cross the bridge. <br />Within the project limits, Fairview Street is bordered by single‐family residences and a few <br />commercial properties. <br />This memorandum was prepared to ensure that the proposed Project is in compliance with all <br />applicable State and local regulations, requirements, and policies regarding paleontological <br />resources, as well as guidelines of the Society of Vertebrate Paleontology (SVP, 2010). The <br />applicable regulations, requirements, and policies include the California Environmental Quality Act <br />(CEQA), Public Resources Code (PRC) Division 13, Chapter 2.6; the State CEQA Guidelines, California <br />Code of Regulations (CCR), Title 14, Chapter 3, Appendix G; PRC 5097.5; and the Conservation <br />Element of the City of Santa Ana (City) General Plan (City of Santa Ana, 2010). This memorandum <br />addresses the potential for the proposed Project to impact paleontological resources and, if needed, <br />includes mitigation measures and other recommendations to minimize these impacts. The City is the <br />Lead Agency under CEQA. <br />PROJECT LOCATION <br />The Project site extends along Fairview Street from approximately 9th Street to 16th Street. The <br />Project site is depicted on the United States Geological Survey (USGS) Anaheim, California
