ramps will be based on the Highway Capacity Manual (HCM) methodology. The LOS for unsignalized intersections will be based on the HCM methodology. Mitigation Measures Mitigation measures will identify project -related traffic impacts based on a comparison of the results of LOS analyses between the applicable scenarios listed above. Project impacts will be based on City's standards and will be identified based on the various project phases and the full build -out scenario. As appropriate, mitigations measures designed to reduce potential circulation impacts to acceptable levels will be identified. Evaluation of potential mitigation measures and an analysis of their effectiveness will be provided. The mitigation measures section will include an assessment of the potential impact on adjacent properties. Schematic drawing illustrating said impacts and the possibility of property takes will be prepared for up to ten locations, where appropriate. If additional schematic drawings are required, additional fees may apply. Any mitigation measure will include a discussion regarding feasibility of the implementation of said measures including potential right-of-way acquisition, parking prohibition/restriction, specific movement restrictions, and cost estimate of said measures. Mitigation measures will be shown on a scale graphical drawing. The City of Santa Ana does not need full-scale drawings, but they need conceptual figures in sufficient detail to relay visual looks to the reader to understand the exact nature of the mitigation measure (i.e., drawn on an aerial photo). Specific Analysis Specific analyses section shall provide appropriate mitigation measures for the following issues: ■ General project access assessment ■ Geometric configuration/striping ■ On Street parking impacts ■ Truck access, if applicable ■ Neighborhood impacts ■ Pedestrian accessibility ■ Traffic Signal Warrants analysis (all applicable warrants shall be considered) ■ Queuing assessment ■ Assessment of on -site circulation regarding turning radius ■ Determining number of lanes needed to accommodate ingress/egress ■ Location of entry gates and emergency vehicle access points General Issues General issues for implementation throughout the study include: ■ The project phases, if any, must be clearly defined and the issue of alternatives, if applicable needs to be taken into consideration. ■ The final number of intersections and segments must be determined based on sensitivity analysis.
