ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT REPORT ADDENDUM Bristol Street Widening Project Warner Ave to Saint Andrew Place (Phase IV) Council will consider and adopt or reject this Addendum at a public meeting prior to the approval of the proposed Bristol Street Widening Phase IV project (refer to CEQA Guidelines Section 15164(4)). The findings of the City Council in its resolution of adoption of this Addendum, if adopted, will reflect this Addendum which provides the basis and substantial evidence for the decision not to prepare a Subsequent or Supplemental EIR (refer to CEQA Guidelines Section 15164(e)). 1.2 Project Location The project site is located on a segment of Bristol Street between Warner Avenue to Saint Andrew Place in the City of Santa Ana. The City of Santa Ana, located within the County of Orange, is surrounded by the Cities of Tustin, Orange, Costa Mesa, Fountain Valley, and Garden Grove. The proposed project site is located approximately 1.5 miles north of the San Diego Freeway (I -405) and approximately three miles south of State Route 22 (SR -22). Refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 for the regional map and project location map with proposed roadway alignment and widening. 1.1.1 Existing Land Uses The project area and surrounding vicinity is located within a fully urbanized area of the City. The existing land uses along the project corridor consist of commercial and single - family residential developments. There are no outdoor activities associated with the commercial developments in the project area. The existing single - family residences consist of single -story homes of varying sizes, and include outdoor areas of frequent human use (i.e., rear and side yards). According to the current City of Santa Ana General Plan, land use designation for the affected parcels fronting Bristol Street within the vicinity of the Bristol Street Widening Phase IV project area and existing land uses are summarized in the Table 1 Existing Land Uses. The majority of surrounding areas beyond the project site are similar to the development typology along Bristol Street Widening Phase IV which includes single family residences, multi - family residences and various commercial and retail facilities. Figure 3 (Existing Land Uses from the 1990 Final EIS/EIR]), illustrates the existing land uses identified for Bristol Street Widening Phase IV as part of the 1990 Final EIS /EIR. It should be noted that while the Phase IV project area stretches along Bristol Street from Warner Avenue to Saint Andrew Place, Bristol Street at Edinger Avenue is also included as part of the project study area however, Bristol Street from Saint Andrew to Edinger has already been widened and is not a part of Phase IV. The locations of the full or partial acquisitions are shown on Figure 4.
