Responses to <br />Environmental Checklist <br />For CEQA Compliance <br />B. Does the project include recreational facilities or require the construction or expansion of <br />recreational facilities, which might have an adverse physical effect on the environment. <br />No Impact <br />Implementation of the proposed project would not generate additional demands on existing recreation <br />facilities or require the construction of new recreation facilities. No adverse impacts to recreation services <br />and facilities would occur. <br />XV. Transportation/Traffic <br />A. Cause an increase in traffic, which is substantial in relation to the existing traffic load and <br />capacity of the street system? <br />B. Exceed, either individually or cumulatively, a level of service standard established by the <br />county congestion management agency for designated roads or highways? <br />Less than Significant Impact <br />The roadways within the project area that would primarily serve the project site would include Auto Mall <br />Drive, Edinger Avenue and Ritchey Street. Implementation of the proposed project would result in a slight <br />increase in the daily vehicle trips and pm peak hour trips as an additional 23,510 square feet is being <br />added to the project site for office, sales area, work bays, mezzanine and canopy. However, the proposed <br />project is consistent with the General Plan. Traffic projections for the proposed project would be <br />consistent with the traffic estimates projected in the Circulation Element. Implementation of the proposed <br />project would not change the level of service of any roadway segment or intersection within the project <br />area. <br />C. Result in a change in air traffic patterns, including either an increase in traffic levels or a <br />change in location that results in substantial safety risks? <br />No Impact <br />There are no public airports in the City of Santa Ana; however, John Wayne International Airport is located <br />one-mile southwest of city limits. The proposed project is located within atwo-mile radius of the airport. <br />The maximum height of the building is 34 feet on two levels. No impact is anticipated. <br />D. Substantially increase hazards to a design feature <br />No Impact <br />Through the City's development review process, the City's Public Works Agency has determined that <br />implementation of the proposed project would not increase traffic hazards within the project area. <br />E. Result in inadequate emergency access <br />No Impact <br />As part of the City's development review process, the proposed project was reviewed by the Police <br />Department and the Fire Department for potential impacts in regards to emergency access. Both the Fire <br />Department and the Police Department have indicated that implementation of the proposed project would <br />not pose any emergency access constraints or adverse impacts. <br />P~e~ ~'~F ~ 14 <br />
