C Mater Dei High School Parking Structure and School Expansion Project Environmental Impact Report Forecast Year 2035 With Project Conditions. Project implementation would not cause a significant increase in traffic on local roadways under forecast year 2035 conditions when compared to the traffic capacity of the street system. Hazardous Traffic Conditions. Development of the proposed project would not result in a hazardous traffic condition either on -site or in the surrounding area. Conflicts with Policies, Plans, or Programs. Implementation of the project would not result in a decrease of the performance or safety of public transit, bicycle, or pedestrian facilities as a result of a conflict with adopted policies; plans, or programs. Cumulative Traffic and Circulation Impacts. The proposed project along with other related cumulative projects would not result in cumulatively considerable impacts related to traffic and circulation. 1.5 EFFECTS DETERMINED TO BE MITIGATED TO LESS THAN SIGNIFICANT LEVELS The City of Santa Ana, having reviewed and considered the information contained in the Final EIR, the Technical Appendices, and the administrative record, finds, pursuant to California Public Resources Code 21081 (a)(1) and GFQ;A Guidelines 15091 (a)(1) that changes or alterations have been required in, or incorporated into, the proposed project, which would avoid or substantially lessen to below a level of significance the following potentially significant environmental effects identified in the Final EIR in the following categories: • Aesthetics /Light and Glare (short-term visual character /quality); • Air Quality (short -term [ construction] air emissions, localized air quality impacts, consistency with regional plans, and short -term cumulative impacts); and • Noise (short -term construction noise impacts, construction- related vibration impacts, and short -term cumulative impacts). The potentially significant adverse environmental impacts that can be mitigated are listed below. The City* of Santa Ana finds that these potentially significant adverse impacts can be mitigated to a level that is considered less than significant after implementation of mitigation measures identified in the Final EIR. AESTHETICS /LIGHT AND GLARE The project's potential impacts in regards to aesthetics /light and glare that can be n itigated or are otherwise less than significant are discussed in Section 5 2, _1e.rtbefies/LJght and Glare, of the Draft EIR. Identified impacts include short -term degradation of visual character /quality. Short -Tenn Visual Character/ Quality, Project construction activities would not result in significant impact's related to the temporary degradation of the visual character /quality of the site and its surroundings.
