Chapter 2 CEQA Findings Level of Significance after Impact Statement Evidence/Rationale Supporting Findings Mitigation Measures Findings Mitigation residential streets. ¦ Traffic circles at oversized intersections ¦ Speed humps ¦ Turn restrictions Impact 4.11-8 Long-term cumulative development under implementation of the Transit Zoning Code would cause an increase in traffic which is substantial in relation to the existing traffic load and capacity of the street system. Under a full build-out scenario of the proposed project, the project would contribute to unacceptable levels of service at a number of intersections during AM and PM peak hours in both 2030 and 2035. Intersection improvements incorporated into the project as MM4.11-3 through MM4.11-15 which were developed and modeled by professional traffic engineers would ensure that all study area intersection would operate at acceptable levels under the 2030 and 2035 AM and PM peak hours MM4.11-3The City of Santa Ana Public Works Agency shall monitor the traffic signals within the Transit Zoning Code study area once every five years to ensure that traffic signal timing is optimized. MM4.11-4The City of Santa Ana shall institute a program for systematic mitigation of impacts as development proceeds within the Transit Zoning Code to ensure mitigation of the individual improvements. The program shall prescribe the method of participation in the mitigation program by individual projects and guide the timely implementation of the mitigation measures. The program shall include the following elements: A funding and improvement program should be established to identify financial resources adequate to construct all identified mitigation measures in a timely basis. All properties that redevelop within the Transit Zoning Code should participate in the program on a fair share per new development trip basis. The fair share should be based upon the total cost of all identified mitigation measures, divided by the peak hour trip generation increase forecast. This rate per peak hour trip should be imposed upon the incremental traffic growth for any new development within the Transit Zoning Code. The Droaram should raise funds from full Finding 1 The Agency finds that changes or alterations have been required in, or incorporated into, the project which would avoid or substantially lessen the significant environmental effect as identified in the final EIR.
