ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT REPORTADDENDUM Bristol Street Widening Project Warner Ave to Saint Andrew Place (Phase IV) Refer to response 3.12 (e.), above. The proposed project is not located within the vicinity of a private airstrip. Mitigation Measures No new additional mitigation measures are required. 3.13 Population and Housing This section corresponds with Section IV, Environmental Consequences and Mitigation Measures, subsections L, Population, M, Housing Displacement, N, Business Displacement, O, Impacts on Neighborhood Character and Minority Groups, and R, Effect on Assessed Property Values, of the 1990 Final EIS /EIR. No take of residential parcels is proposed as part of this project. (a) Induce substantial population growth in an area, either directly (for example, by proposing new homes and businesses) or indirectly (for example, through extension of roads or other infrastructure? Bristol Street and Warner Avenue are currently heavily traveled roadways and the City of Santa Ana is fully built out. The proposed project is designed to accommodate the existing and future traffic volume and would not create significant numbers of new trips. The proposed widening would not result in additional impact. Impacts would be similar to those identified in the 1990 Final EIS/EIR. Mitigation Measures No new additional mitigation measures are required. (b) Displace substantial numbers of existing housing, necessitating the construction of replacement housing elsewhere? The proposed project's Build Alternative is anticipated to result in full or partial acquisitions of approximately 43 parcels along the project study area. The acquired parcels are defined as distinct locations where residential and non - residential displacement could occur along the project alignment. The project is anticipated to result in the acquisition of 27 single - family residential units. This compares to a total of 28 single - family residential units (6 partial and 22 full acquisitions) as identified in the 1990 Final EIS/EIR. Of the 27 residential units that would be displaced as part of the proposed Project, 14 parcels would be considered partial acquisitions and 13 parcels would be considered full acquisitions. Since comparable relocation properties appear to be available in the metropolitan Santa Ana area in sufficient quantity, the need for replacement housing would not be triggered due to project implementation. The number of displacees resulting from the Proposed project are anticipated to be less than identified in the 1990 Final EIS /EIR due to the reduction in number of full acquisition of single - family residential units. Mitigation Measures No new additional mitigation measures are required. (c) Displace substantial numbers of people, necessitating the construction of replacement housing elsewhere? The proposed project requires the acquisition of 27 single - family units could possibly result in displacing approximately 82 residents (URS Corporation, November 2011). The construction of replacement housing elsewhere would not be necessary because comparable relocation properties appear to be available in the metropolitan Santa Ana area in sufficient quantity. The project involves the widening Bristol Street from Warner Avenue to Saint Andrew Place in an urbanized, residential/commercial area of the City of Santa Ana. The required relocations would not disproportionately affect any specific group or groups of ANA 305 -194 (PER 02) CSA (AUGUST 2014) 133867 YU 49
