DISCUSSION In August 1995, the Council authorized approval of an agreement with The Planning Center to prepare environmental documents and preliminary plans for the Fairview Street widening project. The project limits are from Fifth Street in the City of Santa Ana to State Route 22 in the City of Garden Grove (Exhibit 1). The City of Santa Ana is the lead agency. The project consists of improving Fairview Street to major arterial standards, which includes three general-purpose lanes in each direction, a raised 14-foot landscaped median and widening the Fairview Street Bridge at the Santa Ana River. The environmental documents and preliminary plans are 80% complete. As part of the environmental process, a Notice of Preparation of the Initial Study (IS)/Environmental Assessment (EA) was prepared and a public scoping meeting was held on August 17, 1999. In response to issues identified at the meeting and citywide impacts related to the loss of housing, staff has concluded that an Environmental Impact Report/Environmental Impact Statement needs to be prepared. The cost of the additional environmental and engineering work is $28,600. 25.C.
