Grand Avenue Widening Project Environmental Impact Report Section 3.0 Table 3-3, Alternative 2 is consistent with each policy, except for certain policies determined not to apply to this proposed project. Therefore, Alternative 2 will not result in adverse impacts related to SCAG land use policies. 3.2.5 MITIGATION RELATED TO LAND USE AND PLANNING Mitigation for the impacts of Alternatives I and 2 related to property acquisition is provided in measures LP -2 through LP -5, below. Also, as disussed in Section 1 (Project Description and Poiject Objectives), much of the acquisition process is described in a question and answer format in the City of Santa Ana Handbook on Acquisition which is provided in Appendix I. Alternatives 1 and 2 will not result in adverse impacts related to reuse of remnant parcels and General Plan consistency. No mitigation is required. Alternatives 1 and 2 will not result in adverse impacts related to SCAG land use policies. No mitigation is required. With the exception of one policy, the No Project Alternative will not result in adverse impacts related to SCAG land use policies. Mitigation for this impact is implementation of Alternative 1 or 2. Mitigation measure LU -1, which applied only to Alternative 1 previously, relates to bicycle lanes, as described earlier in Section 2.2 (Land Use Impacts Found Not to be Significant). This mitigation measure has been updated per the refined alignment and definition of Alternative 1. Mitigation measure LP -1 would not apply to Alternative 2 because Alternative 2 would be consistent with the City's Bikeway Master Plan and the Class 11 bike lanes shown on Grand Avenue in the Commuter Bikeways Strategic Plan. In the event that Alternative I is selected, mitigation measure LP -1 shall apply. LP -1 The City shall revise the Bikeway Master Plan to delete the on street bike lanes on this segment of Grand Avenue consistent with the final design of Alternative 1. The City shall also notify OCTA to delete the Class II bike lanes on this segment of Grand Avenue in the Commuter Bikeways Strategic Plan. The deletion of the bikeway from the City's General Plan Bikeway Master Plan, would make the General Plan consistent with the planning for Grand Avenue along this segment. LP -2 Consistent with the requirements of eminent domain law and the Uniform Relocation Assistance and Real Property Acquisition Policies Act of 1970, the City of Santa Ana shall pay all owners of real estate including land, buildings and improvements the fair market value for property taken, either in whole or in part, for the widening of the project segment of Grand Avenue. Fair market value shall be determined through appraisal of the affected property. LP -3 Consistent with the requirements of eminent domain law and the Uniform Relocation Assistance and Real Property Acquisition Policies Act of 1970, the City of Santa Ana shall assist displaced businesses in finding alternative locations, either within or outside the City limits, as appropriate.
