Would the project: <br />a.) Cause an increase in traffic, which is substantial in relation to the existing traffic load and <br />capacity of the street system (i.e., result in a substantial increase in either the number of <br />vehicle trips, the volume to capacity ratio on roads, or congestion at intersections)? <br />b.) Exceed, either individually or cumulatively, a level of service standard established by the <br />county congestion management agency for designated roads or highways? <br />c.) Result in a change in air traffic patterns, including either an increase in traffic levels or a <br />change in location that results in substantial safety risks? <br />d.) Substantially increase hazards due to a design feature (e.g., sharp curves or dangerous <br />intersections) or incompatible uses (e.g., farm equipment)? <br />e.) Result in inadequate emergency access? <br />f.) Result in inadequate parking capacity? <br />City of Santa Ana Impact Criteria <br />The City of Santa Ana considers the maximum threshold to be LOS E for those intersections located <br />within areas of the City designated as Major Development Areas (MDA). For the Traffic Impact <br />Analysis, all the study intersections in the City of Santa Ana are within the MDA.
