ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT REPORT ADDENDUM Bristol Street and Memory Lane Intersection Improvements — Project No. 17-6883 According to the 2015 Orange County Congestion Management Program, prepared by the Orange County Transportation Authority, dated November 2015, the intersection of Bristol Street and Memory Lane is not a CMP intersection, nor is this intersection located along a CMP Highway System. Further, as discussed in Response 3.16(a), the proposed Project would result in an improvement to both the AM and PM Peak Hour LOS. As the proposed Project would not increase the capacity of the roadway network, the Project would not result in greater impacts than that previously analyzed in the 1990 FEIS/EIR. Certified 1990 FEIS/EIR Mitigation Measures: No 1990 FEIS/EIR mitigation measures are applicable. Mitigation Measures: No additional mitigation measures are required. C) Result in a change in air traffic patterns, including either an increase in traffic levels or a change in location that results in substantial safety risks? The closest airport to the site is John Wayne — Orange County Airport, located approximately 5.9 miles southeast of the Project site; the proposed Project would have no impact on air traffic patterns. The proposed Project would not introduce any new risks or increase risks. Impacts would not be greater than that previously analyzed in the 1990 FEIS/EIR. Certified 1990 FEIS/EIR Mitigation Measures: No 1990 FEIS/EIR mitigation measures are applicable. Mitigation Measures: No additional mitigation measures are required. d) Substantially increase hazards due to a design feature (e.g., sharp curves or dangerous intersections) or incompatible uses (e.g., Jami equipment)? The proposed Project would improve the traffic flow at the Bristol Street and Memory Lane intersection and would not create any sharp curves or other incompatible uses. Impacts would not be greater than that previously analyzed in the 1990 FEIS/EIR. Certified 1990 FEIS/EIR Mitigation Measures: No 1990 FEIS/EIR mitigation measures are applicable. Mitigation Measures: No additional mitigation measures are required. e) Result in inadequate emergency access? The proposed Project would improve traffic operations along Bristol Street in the long-term. During the construction phase traffic flow along Bristol Street within the Project limits could be temporarily affected, including the mobility of emergency vehicles; however, access, including two-way travel would be maintained through the Project condor during construction. Traffic control plans would be prepared prior to construction to facilitate traffic movement through the Project condor during construction. Although the proposed Project may interfere with emergency access in the short-term, it would improve emergency access once the Project is completed. Implementation of 1990 FEIS/EIR Mitigation Measures V-10, V-12, V-13 and V-16 would reduce impacts associated with inadequate emergency access to a less than significant level. Impacts would not be greater than that previously analyzed in the 1990 FEIS/EIR. Certified 1990 FEIS/EIR Mitigation Measures: Refer to 1990 FEIS/EIR Mitigation Measures V-10, V-12, V-13, and V-16. Mitigation Measures: No additional mitigation measures are required. fi Conflict with adopted policies, plans, or programs regarding public transit, bicycle, or pedestrian facilities, or otherwise decrease the performance or safety ofsuch facilities? The proposed Project would not conflict with any alternative transportation plan and would increase safety associated with improvements to the traffic operations through the Project area. The proposed Project would not Draft I November 2017 3-26 Environmental Consequences 75A-55
