Chapter 3 F/ndings Regarding Project A/ternatIves <br />Rationale. The project would not have any significant impacts on safety at railroad crossings. <br />Therefore, mitigation measures that would require grade separations on project area roadways to <br />reduce potential auto/train conflicts axe not required. Orange County Transportation Authority <br />(OCTA) is providing crossing safety enhancements at 10 railroad projects in the City of Santa Ana. <br />These planned upgrades will include flashing lights, pedestrian signals/gates, quad gates and raised <br />medians. Implementation of the Transit Zoning Code (SD 84A and SD 84B) project will enhance <br />safety for motorists and pedestrians. Current technology will also be used to upgrade traffic and <br />signal controllers with implementation of the proposed project. In addition to these project <br />components, the Transit Zoning Code will be amended to include policy language in the Street and <br />Network Concepts section that states: "Any future or planned development adjacent or near the <br />railroad right-of--way be planned with the safety of the rail corridor in mind. This includes <br />considering pedestrian circulation/destinations with respect to railroad right-of-way." <br />~ Proposed Mitigation Measure. Identify improvements and/or funding mechanisms to mitigate <br />the project's traffic impacts. (See Final EIR Chapter 3 (Responses to Comments), Letter from City <br />of Tustin (TUS), comment TUS-5.) <br />Finding. The Agency finds that specific economic, legal, social, technological, or other <br />considerations make this mitigation measure infeasible. <br />Rationale. The DEIR identifies mitigation measures needed as a result of expected project- <br />generated traffic in Section 4.11.3. Specific improvements axe identified in mitigation measures <br />MM4.11-1 through MM4.11-1 G. Further, mitigation measure MM4.11-4 requires the City of Santa <br />Ana to "institute a program for systematic mitigation of impacts as development proceeds within <br />the Transit Zoning Code to ensure mitigation of the individual improvements." The program is <br />required to include, among other things, "a funding and improvement program to identify <br />financial resources adequate to construct all identified mitigation measures in a timely basis." <br />(Draft EIR Section 4.11.3, MM4.11-4.) The mitigation measures suggested by the City of Tustin <br />are already included in the project and will not provide meaningful additional mitigation beyond <br />the measures that are adopted. <br />Findings on Mitigation Measures Proposed to Reduce Impacts to Pub/ic Services <br />~ Proposed Mitigation Measure. Require the application of parkland in-lieu fees in conjunction <br />with development of the project. (See Final EIR Chapter 3 (Responses to Comments), Letter from <br />City of Tustin (TUS), comment TUS-2.) <br />Finding. The Agency finds that specific economic, legal, social, technological, or other <br />considerations make this mitigation measure infeasible. <br />Rationale. Development under the Transit Zoning Code project and Developer Project is <br />required to comply with mitigation measure MM4.10-5, which requires payment into the Paxk <br />Acquisition and Development Fund pursuant to Santa Ana Municipal Code Chapter 35, Article IV. <br />Over and above the requirement for new development to pay into the Park Acquisition and <br />Development Fund, the Redevelopment Agency is pursuing the acquisition and construction of a <br />range of potential open space amenities within the Transit Zoning Code area, which could include <br />a public park, new community center and a tot lot. Finally, the standards fox private open space <br />contained within the Transit Zoning Code are designed to ensure that new development provide <br />open space and outdoor amenities on-site as part of the project design. Consequently, the impact <br />of the project on park facilities is less than significant and no further mitigation is needed. <br />3-20 Transit Zoning Code (SD 84) EIR Findings of Fact/Statement of Overriding Considerations <br />
