ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT REPORT ADDENDUM Bristol Street Widening Phase IIIB— Washington Avenue to I7' Street • The proposed Project increases the total right -of -way width from 120 feet to 128 feet. The proposed Project right -of -way cross section would maintain a curb -to -curb width of 100 feet, would accommodate a 7 -foot wide bike lane on each side of the roadway, and would not affect the number or width of vehicular travel lanes as compared to the right -of -way cross section addressed in the 1990 FEIS /EIR. However, the proposed Project right -of -way cross section, as compared to the right -of -way cross section addressed in the 1990 FEIS /EIR, would reduce the width of the sidewalks from 10 to 8 feet and also accommodate a 6 -foot wide parkway on each side of Bristol Street to separate pedestrian and vehicular travel; a parkway was not included as part of the roadway cross section addressed in the 1990 FEIS /EIR. Acquisition of property resulting from the proposed Project right -of -way is accounted for in this analysis. The proposed Project lane configuration is shown on Figure 5 (Proposed Project Lane Geometries), whereas the lane configurations from the original approved 1990 FEIS /EIR are shown on Figures 6A and 6B (1990 FEIS /EIR Proposed Lane Geometries). The proposed block wall, as described above, is also illustrated on Figure 5. Since approval of the 1990 FEIS /EIR, the City of Santa Ana implemented several zone changes to Project area parcels through approval of the Bristol Street Corridor Specific Plan. Also during this rime, Parcel 405- 252 -20 was identified as four commercial full takes; however, it is now identified as one commercial full take. An assessment of construction and Project related GHG emissions was also not addressed in the 1990 FEIS/EIR, and as a result is addressed in this Addendum. 1.4.5 Construction Timeframe Construction activities associated with the proposed Project would occur following acquisition of the required parcels. Construction of the proposed Project is anticipated to begin in early 2015 and be completed within approximately one year (early 2016). 1.5 Discretionary Actions This Addendum must be adopted by the City of Santa Ana City Council as to its adequacy in complying with the requirements of CEQA and the previously approved 1990 FEIS /EIR. The City Council will consider the information contained in the Addendum and the 1990 FEIS/EIR in making a decision to approve or deny the proposed Project. No discretionary actions with regards to the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) or changes are proposed pursuant to NEPA.
