Harbor Boulevard Mixed Use Transit Corridor Plan Findings and Facts in Support of Findings and Statement of Overriding Considerations • Properties within Santa Ana and within one -half mile of the Harbor Corridor Plan that redevelop to result in higher traffic generation should also participate in the program to ensure equity. • The City may elect to implement appropriate mitigation measures as a condition of approval of the proposed developments, where appropriate. All or part of the costs of these improvements may be considered to be a negotiated credit toward the program, however the program must be administered in a manner that assures that it can fund necessary improvements to maintain adequate level of service at all intersections within the study. If funding of priority improvements cannot be assured, credit for construction of lower priority improvements may not be assured or may be postponed until more program funds are available. 13 -3 Prior to the issuance of building permits, the project applicant shall prepare a traffic study, subject to review and approval of the City. The traffic study will verify whether the project within the Harbor Corridor Plan impacts the intersection locations identified below. For those intersections, which are projected to exceed the City's adopted performance criteria, the project will be conditioned to construct or provide fair share funding toward those improvements. The improvements are as follows: • Intersection #26: Fairview Street and 17th Street (Year 2035) — Improvements are to add a northbound through lane. • Intersection #27: Fairview Street and 1st Street (Year 2035) — Improvements are to add a southbound right -turn lane. G. UTILITIES AND SERVICE SYSTEMS (1) Potential Impact: Project - generated wastewater could be adequately treated by the wastewater service provider for the project; however the existing sewer system is deficient and does not have adequate capacity to serve the project. Finding: 1. The City hereby makes Finding 1 and determines that this impact is less than significant with the incorporation of the proposed mitigation measures. Facts in Support of Finding Buildout of the Harbor Corridor Plan would result in a net increase in wastewater generation of approximately 1,292 acre feet per year, or about 1.15 million gallons per day. No change in wastewater generation is anticipated to occur in the Conventional Zoning Area of the project area. Several existing city sewer segments in the project site are undersized based on Orange County Sanitation District 39 July 2014
