remains complete and adequate in regards to analysis of exceeding, either individually or cumulatively, • levels of service established by the county congestion management agency. c) Result in a change in air traj~c patterns, including either an increase in traj~c levels or a change in location that results insubstantial safety risks? (No Substantial Change from Previous Analysis) No change in air traffic patterns will occur as a result of the proposed project. Therefore, the EIR remains complete and adequate as it relates to this topic. d) Substantially increase hazards due to a design feature (e.g., sharp curves or dangerous intersections) or incompatible uses (e.g. farm equipment)? (No Substantial Change from Previous Analysis) The analysis in the EIR considered traffic impacts on the existing streets within the project site and in the surrounding area. No design features or incompatible uses are proposed that would substantially increase hazards. Therefore, the EIR remains adequate and complete for this topic. e) Result in inadequate emergency access? (No Substantial Change from Previous Analysis) Emergency access exists within the development area of the proposed project, and no changes or modifications are proposed in this Addendum. Therefore, the EIR remains complete and adequate as it relates to emergency access. ~ Result in inadequate parking capacity? (No Substantial Change from Previous Analysis) Parking requirements were analyzed in the EIR, and provision was made for the required amount of parking for all components of the project. To accommodate the proposed hotel included in this Addendum, a total of 615 parking spaces will be provided comprised of a combination of spaces in the existing parking structure and surface parking lot until the Cinema Tower is constructed. When the Cinema Tower is constructed, a new parking structure will be built to meet the parking needs of the • hotel and the Cinema Tower. No new parking impacts will occur with implementation of the proposed project. Therefore, the EIR remains complete and adequate for the provision of required parking. ~ Conflict with adopted policies, plans or programs supporting alternative transportation (e.g. bus turnouts, bicycle racks)? (No Substantial Change from Previous Analysis) The proposed project will not conflict with adopted policies, plans or programs supporting alternative transportation. Therefore, the EIR remains complete and adequate as it relates to this topic. XII. Utilities and Service Systems The retail/restaurant and the Cinema Lofts components of the previously approved project will be removed, and the hotel will replace the retail and restaurant uses. The Cinema Lofts location will eventually accommodate the relocated Cinema Tower. The City of Santa Ana has confirmed that a 12-inch sewer main has recently been constructed that will meet the sewer needs of the proposed hotel. Additionally, as detailed below, staff in the City's Public Works Department has also indicated that adequate water infrastructure exits to support the project. The technical reports prepared for the EIR were relied upon to calculate the proposed project's impacts on water and sewer demand. Please see Sections XII.b and XII.d below for an analysis of water and sewer demand compared to the previously approved project. a) Exceed wastewater treatment requirements of the applicable Regional Water Quality Control Board? (No Substantial Change from Previous Analysis) The addition of the 185-room hotel and removal of the retail/restaurant and Cinema Lofts are not • anticipated to exceed wastewater treatment requirements.
