RESOLUTION NO. 82-74 PAGE THREE traffic impactswill not occur as a result of the Project. This is so given the regional nature of these problems as they relate to already adverse conditions concerning the Newport and Santa Ana Freeways and the fact that certain potential mitigating measures are within the responsibility of the State of California rather than the City of Santa Ana. Because of the long implementation period of the Project, City-wide mitigation measures can be implemented before un- acceptable levels of service are reached in the regular course of providing City-wide traffic circulation improvements. (c) With the exception of certain traffic improvements and facilities noted above, needed public facilities, utilities and other services identified in the Final EIR will be provided either by the City, the Agency, by the developer or normal provider of such improve- ments and services during the design review and implementation phase of the proposed Redevelopment Project. (d) Although the proposed Redevelopment Project itself is not expected to contribute significantly to regional air pollution levels, the total of other developments constructed in the South Coast Air Basin during the next 10 to 20 years has the potential to adversely affect air quality. To the extent the public improvements contained in the proposed Re- development Plan alleviate traffic congestion and the resultant air emissions therefrom, local air quality impacts will be mitigated. Due to the regional nature of the local air quality problems, mitigation measures identified in the Final EIR to reduce potential impacts on local or regional air quality cannot be assured at this time. Application of specific measures depends on several variables including the nature and operation of specific developments as well as regional air pollution control policies outside the jurisdiction of the Commission, the Agency or the City. To the extent feasible and practical the City and Agency will as necessary review Agency-assisted developments to incorporate any viable measures to address significant potential impacts on air quality related thereto.
