2020-065 - Adopting Environmental Findings of Fact

The Warner Redhill Mixed -Use Project CEQA Findings of Fact materially reduce the vehicular -source GHG emissions. Thus, the Project would result in an exceedance of the CAP's emissions target and impacts would be significant and unavoidable. R. Transportation Impact Finding: The Project would conflict with a program, plan, ordinance, or policy addressing the circulation system, including transit, roadway, bicycle, and pedestrian facilities (Draft EIR at p. 5.14-10). Facts in Support of Findings: In the Year 2040 plus Project traffic conditions the Project would result in a significant cumulative impact at the following three intersections, as detailed in Final EIR Transportation Section Table 5.14-10: • Grand Avenue/Warner Avenue (#A) in the p.m. peak hour • Red Hill Avenue/Barranca Parkway (#30) in the p.m. peak hour • Red Hill Avenue/Alton Parkway (#32) in the p.m. peak hour Improvements for impacted intersections have been identified, which would reduce the impacts to a less than significant level. However, improvements at the intersections of Red Hill Avenue/ Barranca Parkway (#30) and Red Hill Avenue/Alton Parkway (#32) cannot be guaranteed because they require approval and/or implementation by the City of Tustin or the City of Irvine. In addition, the improvement at the Grand Avenue/Warner Avenue (#4) is required as a result of a is a cumulative impact, as the intersection operates with unsatisfactory LOS in the baseline 2040 condition. The Project would be responsible for a fair share of the improvement; however, there is no currently planned improvement at the location, and it is unknown if the Grand Avenue/Warner Avenue improvement would be implemented by 2040. Therefore, implementation of the Project would result in a significant and unavoidable impact under the Year 2040 Plus Project condition at these three intersections. City of Santa Ana 53 May 2020
