RESOLUTION 94-023 over designing and funding improvements at this intersection is within the joint jurisdiction of the cities of Tustin and &ama Ana. Tustin at Santa Clara - Construction of dual northbound and southbound left- tom lanes. The Cities of Santo Aha and Tustin have entered into a joint powers agreement to jointly identify and fund necessary transportation improvements in a Transportation System Improvement Area crSIA) identified by the two cities. Under the joint powers agreement, the two cities agr__,~_ to jointly administer the collection and expenditure of T$IA fees. The cities have also agreed to jointly prioritize transportation improvements. The intersection of Tustin at Santa Clara is within the coq~orate jurisdiction of the City of Santa Aha, but is within the TSIA area covered by the joint powera agreement. This potential improvement has not been identified as a TSIA improvement. If the proposed project is developed immediately, cumulative traffic conditions at the intersection will not reach unacceptable levels. (See EIR Table 8.) However, if every entitled project considered in the EIR is developed, and is developed prior tn the project, the project could have the effect of pushing the level of service at this intersection to an unacceptable level. Construction of dual northbound and southbound left-tom lanes at the intersection of Tustin and Santa Clara was identified in the EIR as a possible improvement to the intersection, but because the need for the improvement has not been substantiated at this time, the cities have not adopted the improvement as part of the joint powers agreement plan. The Santa Aha City Council hereby recommends that pursuant to their joint powers agreement, the cities of Tustin and Santa Aha (1) continue to monitor traffic at the intersection of Tustin and Santa Clara, and (2) if Waffle reaches unacceptable levels, identify specific improvements for this intersection and add them to the TSIA program to be funded with TSIA fees, or other appropriate action. (A discussion of this improvement's feasibility is included with Finding 3, below.) At such time as the impwvement is included in the TSIA program, the project proponent would pay for its pro rata share of this improvement through payment of the new TSIA fee as applicable. Specific economic, social, or other considerations make infeasible the mitigation measures or project alternatives identified in the EIR. 441 Facts in Suonort of the Findin~ The gm. states that the following potential improvements could mitigate cumulative traffic impacts at the corresponding intersections.
