' E. Other Public Facilities No Impact. The proposed project is not expected to impact other public facilities such as libraries since it does not contain a residential component. No significant impacts would occur and no mitigation measures are necessary. t Recreation A. Would the project increase the use of existing neighborhood and regional parks I or other recreational facilities such that substantial physical deterioration of the facility would occur or be accelerated? No Impact. The proposed project is not expected to increase the use of existing neighborhood or regional parks. Therefore, no further study is required and no mitigation measures are necessary. B. Does the project include recreational facilities or require the construction or ' expansion of recreational facilities which might have an adverse physical effect on the environment? ' No Impact. The project does not include any recreational facilities or require the construction of additional recreational facilities that might have an adverse effect on the environment. Therefore, no further study is required and no mitigation measures are necessary. Transportation and Traffic A. Cause an increase in traffic which is substantial in relation to the existing traffic load and capacity of the street system (i. e., result in a substantial increase in ' either the number of vehicle trips, the volume to capacity ratio on roads, or congestion at intersections)? Less Than Significant Impact with Mitigation Incorporation. A Traffic Impact 1 and Parking Analysis (Kimley-Horn and Associates, Inc., 2007) The proposed project would create short-term increases in congestion in the area as a result of construction-related activities. However, the construction-related traffic volumes are anticipated to be nominal due to the relatively small scale of the project. Construction workers' vehicles and equipment will utilize designated parking areas as set forth in the TMP. Through-traffic will be permitted at all times along South Harbor Boulevard. Additionally, access to adjacent businesses and residences will be maintained at all times. On-street parking is currently not permitted along South Harbor Boulevard, however, appropriate detour signs and safety precautions will be implemented for pedestrians, as set forth in the Traffic Management Plan. Construction vehicles, including trucks, will utilize established ' construction routes as approved by the City of Santa Ana and minimize construction traffic on local streets. With implementation of the mitigation measures and temporary nature of construction activities, construction related traffic impacts are anticipated to be less than significant. U l i f pon comp et on o the construction, the daily operation of the proposed project would create less than significant impact on traffic in the project area or along South Harbor Boulevard.
