ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT REPORTADDENDUM
Bristol Street Widening Project Warner Ave to Saint Andrew Place (Phase IV)
1.0 INTRODUCTION
This Addendum has been prepared in accordance with the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), as
amended, to evaluate the potential environmental impacts of the proposed changes to the widening of Bristol
Street, from Warner Avenue to Memory Lane as proposed in the Project Final Environmental hnpact
Statement / Environmental Impact Report (FEIS /EIR) approved in 1990 (FHWA -CA- EIS- 89 -01- F; SCH
No. 87071509).
This Addendum focuses on the segment of Bristol Street between Warner Avenue and Saint Andrew Place
(Phase IV, or Project) and is limited to the proposed improvements to this segment. This Addendum
provides an assessment of potential environmental impacts associated with minor design modifications and
the issue of climate change which was not addressed in the previously prepared and certified FEIS /EIR.
Design modifications to the Project, since approval of the 1990 FEIS /EIR, that are addressed in this
Addendum include the following:
• The proposed Project increases the total right -of -way width from 120 feet to 128 feet. The proposed
Project right- of-way cross- section would maintain a curb -to -curb width of 100 feet, would
accommodate a 7 -foot wide bike lane on each side of the roadway, and would not affect the number
or width of vehicular travel lanes as compared to the right -of -way cross - section addressed in the
1990 FEIS/EIR. However, the proposed Project right -of -way cross section, as compared to the right-
of-way cross section addressed in the 1990 FEIS /EIR, would reduce the width of the sidewalks from
10 to 8 feet and also accommodate a 6 -foot wide parkway on each side of Bristol Street to separate
pedestrian and vehicular travel; a parkway was not included as part of the roadway cross section
addressed in the 1990 FEIS /EIR. Acquisition of property resulting from the proposed Project right -
of -way is accounted for in this analysis.
• The centerline alignment has been shifted to the west starting at St. Gertrude instead of starting at
Glenwood Place with the addition of 4 -feat to the original 20 -foot shift. The street centerline then
shifted back 4 -feet to the east at St. Andrew in order to match the existing centerline north of St.
Andrew. By shifting the centerline at St. Gertrude, the Phase IV Project saved eight parcels from full
take by reducing these parcels to partial acquisitions.
• A bus turnout would be located at the Warner Avenue.
• Change right -of -way requirement from full take to partial take of the following single - family
residential parcels: 015- 215 -10 (150 square feet), 015- 215 -11 (50 square feet), 015- 214 -10 (50
square feet), 015- 234 -10 (50 square feet), 015- 233 -11 (50 square feet), 015- 233 -10 (50 square Feet),
015- 232 -11 (50 square feet), and (015- 232 -10 (50 square feet).
• Change right -of -way requirement from full take to partial take of Parcel 408- 336 -17 (3,466 square
feet).
• Land use for the current Project has been changed compared to the 1990 FEIS. The following
parcels have been changed from Park to Park with Commercial Option: 015- 194 -38 and 015 -194-
39.
• Preceding project phase inclusive of the following parcel which is no longer included in the Phase
IV Project right -of -way requirements: 015- 194 -40.
It should be noted that the 1990 FEIS and 2013 National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) Reevaluation
(URS Corporation) provided comprehensive noise barriers at all easterly parcel boundaries currently
fronting the east side of Bristol Street between Warner Avenue and Saint Andrew Place and comprehensive
noise barriers at all westerly parcel boundaries currently fronting the west side of Bristol Street between
ANA 305 -194 (PER 02) CSA (AUGUST 2014) 133867 YU
ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT REPORTADDENDUM
Bristol Street Widening Project Warner Ave to Saint Andrew Place (Phase IV)
West Saint Gertrude Place and Saint Andrew Place. Using the California Department of Transportation's
(Caltrans) May 2011 Traffic Noise Analysis Protocol, the following noise barriers (NB) were determined to
be reasonable: NB -4, NB -5, NB -6, NB -7, NB -8, NB -9, NB -10, and NB -11. These noise barriers are
generally equivalent to the recommended noise barriers shown in the 1990 FEIS and 2013 Reevaluation.
However, barriers NB -6, NB -7, NB -8, and NB -9 would need to be shifted to the west of the receivers
(parcels) that are no longer being acquired. The modifications and other refinements to the project would not
create any additional impacts than what was identified in the 2013 NEPA Reevaluation; thus, there would be
no changes or additions to the avoidance, minimization, and/or mitigation measures.
Furthermore, as climate change is a relatively new area of discussion, the topic was not discussed in the Air
Quality section of the previously approved FEIS /EIR. As such, this Addendum analyzes the effects of
climate change associated with the construction and operation of the Project.
This Addendum to the previously certified 1990 Final EIS /EIR has been prepared because project - related
modifications to the Bristol Street alignment do not trigger the need for further environmental analysis in a
Subsequent or Supplemental EIR under the requirements of CEQA or CEQA Guidelines (refer to CEQA
Guidelines Sections 15164 and 15167).
1.1 Purpose of an Addendum
Under CEQA, when an EIR has been certified for a project, no Subsequent FIR may be required for that
project unless the lead agency determines, based upon substantial evidence, that one or more specified
circumstances has occurred. Only if one or more of the following circumstances arises is a Subsequent FIR
required:
1) Substantial changes are proposed in the project which will require major revision of the
previous EIR due to the involvement of new significant environmental effects or a substantial
increase in the severity of previously identified significant effects;
2) Substantial changes occur with respect to the circumstances under which the project is
undertaken which will require major revision of the previous EIR due to the involvement of new
significant environmental increase in the severity of previously identified significant effects; or
3) New information of substantial importance, which was not known and could not have been
known with the exercise of reasonable diligence at the time the previous EIR was certified as
complete, shows any of the following:
A) The project will have one or more significant effects not discussed in the previous EIR;
B) Significant effects previously examined will be substantially more severe than shown in the
previous EIR;
C) Mitigation measures or alternatives previously found not to be feasible would in fact be
feasible, and would substantially reduce one or more significant effects of the project, but
the project proponents decline to adopt the mitigation measure or alternative; or
D) Mitigation measures or alternatives which are considerably different from those analyzed
in the previous EIR would substantially reduce one or more significant effects on the
environment, but the project proponents decline to adopt the mitigation measure or
alternative. (CEQA Guidelines Section 15162[a])
A Supplement to an FIR (or Supplemental EIR), which is narrower in scope than a Subsequent EIR, may be
prepared if any of the above criteria apply, but "[o]nly minor changes or additions would be necessary to
make the previous EIR adequately apply to the project in the changed situation" (CEQA Guidelines Section
15163[a]). In the absence of the need to prepare either a Subsequent or Supplemental EIR, an Addendum
may be prepared. Section 15164 states:
ANA 305 -194 (PER 02) CSA (AUGUST 2014) 133867 YU
ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT REPORTADDENDUM
Bristol Street Widening Project Warner Ave to Saint Andrew Place (Phase IV)
(a) The lead agency or a responsible agency shall prepare an addendum to a previously certified EIR if
some changes or additions are necessary but none of the conditions described in Section 15162
calling for preparation of a subsequent FIR have occurred.
(b) An addendum to an adopted negative declaration may be prepared if only minor technical changes
or additions are necessary or none of the conditions described in Section 15162 calling for the
preparation of a subsequent EIR or negative declaration have occurred.
(c) An addendum need not be circulated for public review but can be included in or attached to the
final EIR or adopted negative declaration.
(d) The decision making body shall consider the addendum with the final EIR or adopted negative
declaration prior to making a decision on the project.
(e) A brief explanation of the decision not to prepare a subsequent EIR pursuant to Section 15162
should be included in an addendum to an EIR, the lead agency's findings on the project, or
elsewhere in the record. The explanation must be supported by substantial evidence. (CEQA
Guidelines Section 15164)
This Addendum to the previously certified Final EIS/EIR for the Approved Project has been prepared
because the evaluation of the proposed modifications does not result in any of the circumstances requiring a
Subsequent or Supplemental EIS/EIR. As shown in this Addendum, although the proposed modifications
would result in development that differs from that in the 1990 Final EIS /EIR, they do not trigger the need for
preparation of a Subsequent or Supplemental EIR under the criteria listed in Sections 15162(a) and
15163(a). Sections 2 and 3 of this Addendum demonstrate that no substantial changes are proposed in the
approved project or have occurred in the area of the Bristol Street Widening Phase IV project located
between Warner Avenue and St. Andrew Place that will require major revisions to the previously certified
1990 Final EIS /EIR due to the involvement of new significant environmental effects or a substantial increase
in the severity of previously identified significant effects. Specifically, the proposed modifications do not
result in new or substantially greater significant impacts because the scale and nature of the development
proposed are sufficiently similar to that analyzed in the 1990 Final EIS/EIR that the impacts of the proposed
modifications are within the levels and types of environmental impacts disclosed in the 1990 Final EIS/EIR.
Additionally, no substantial changes in circumstances under Section 15162(a)(2) have occurred since the
certification of the 1990 Final EIS /EIR for the approved project that would implicate new significant
impacts or substantially increase the severity of significant impacts previously identified, since the
background environmental conditions have not significantly changed since that time. The City of Santa Ana
has received no information indicating there has been a substantial change in any circumstances that would
result in a new or substantially greater significant impact.
Furthermore, no new information, which was not known and could not have been known at the time of the
1990 Final EIS /EIR preparation, has been revealed that shows new or substantially greater significant
impacts will result (see CEQA Guidelines Section 15162(a)(3)). In addition, there are no new or different
Mitigation Measures or Alternatives that would substantially reduce one or more significant impacts of the
approved project but that are not adopted. The proposed modifications do not identify or require adoption of
any further Mitigation Measures or Alternatives beyond those provided in the certified 1990 Final EIS/EIR
for the approved project, since additional Mitigation Measures are either not necessary or not feasible, and
the Alternatives analyzed in the 1990 Final EIS /EIR represent a reasonable range as requested by CEQA
(see CEQA Guidelines Section 15162(a)(3)).
The Addendum relies on the certified 1990 Final EIS/EIR and the related administrative record, in addition
to the additional documentation included to support the Addendum, including the appendices. The
Addendum is to be included or attached to the 1990 Final EIS/EIR and is not to be considered as an
independent or separate document.
As this Addendum does not identify new or substantially greater significant impacts, circulation for public
review and comment is not necessary pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Section 15164(c). However, the City
ANA 305 -194 (PER 02) CSA (AUGUST 2014) 133867 YU 3
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.

ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT REPORTADDENDUM
Bristol Street Widening Project Warner Ave to Saint Andrew Place (Phase IV)
1.3 Project Background
1.3.1 Approved 1990 Final EIRIEIS
The City of Santa Ana General Plan has designated Bristol Street as a Major Arterial Highway traveling in a
north -south direction. As a result of significant growth and traffic congestion on Bristol Avenue, the City, in
the late 1980s, proposed to widen Bristol Street from a four -lane roadway to a six -lane arterial in accordance
with adopted County of Orange and City of Santa Ana standards for a Major Arterial Highway. A joint
EIS /EIR was prepared and approved by the City of Santa Ana and Caltrans for the widening of Bristol Street
in 1990. The 1990 project entailed a 3.9 -mile segment of Bristol Street from Warner Avenue on the south to
Memory Lane on the north. Due to significant costs associated with construction and availability of funding,
the project was divided into several construction phases; Phase 1 from Warner Avenue north to First Street,
Phase 2 consisting of the widening and reconstruction of the bridge which crosses Santiago Creels (northerly
limits of the street widening project), and Phase 3 between First Street and Memory Lane.
The 1990 Final EIS /EIR document (SCH No. 87071509) was approved on November 19, 1990. The
1990 Final EIS /EIR and associated technical studies, incorporated herein by reference, documented the
environmental impacts of widening Bristol Street from Warner Avenue to Memory Lane in the City of Santa
Ana. As stated in the 1990 Final EIS/EIR, the purpose and goals of the Bristol Street Widening project were
to:
1) Provide sufficient roadway capacity to accommodate current and future traffic demand.
2) Improve the performance and safety of the roadway for the benefit of the motoring public.
3) To reduce current and projected future delays experienced at major intersections and to design
intersections to function at acceptable Levels of Service (LOS).
4) To design the roadway in manner conducive to the provision of public transportation, namely
bus service provided by the Orange County Transit District (OCTD).
1.3.2 Adopted Transportation Improvement Program
The Approved Project is included as project number ORA125 in the regional emissions analysis conducted
by Southern California Association of Governments (SLAG) for the conforming 2013 Federal
Transportation Improvement Program (FTIP) adopted by SCAG on September 19, 2012 and approved by
FHWA on December 14, 2012. As provided in the FTIP, the Approved Project description reads as follows:
BRISTOL ST (WARNER TO MEMORY LANE) WIDEN FROM 4 TO 6 LANES (IMPV AT
BRISTOL /WARNER (ADD ATIEBISB THRULNS; WB RT TRNLN) AND BRISTOL /FIRST (ADD
NBISB THR U INS, SBLFTIRTITRNINS
The Phase IV project is a component of the Approved Project. The Phase IV Project's design concept and
scope have not changed significantly from what was analyzed in the RTIP and FTIP. This analysis found
that the plan and, therefore, the individual projects contained in the plan, are conforming projects, and would
have air quality impacts consistent with those identified in the state implementation plans (SIPS) for
achieving the National Ambient Air Quality Standards (NAAQS). FHWA determined the RTIP to conform
to the SIP.
The Phase IV Project's open to the public year is consistent with (within the same regional emission analysis
period as) the construction completion date identified in the FTIP and /or RTP. The FTIP gives priority to
eligible Transportation Control Measures (TCMs) identified in the SIP and provides sufficient funds to
provide for their implementation. FHWA determined the TIP to conform to the SIP on December 2010.

The Phase IV Project is also included in the 2013 TIP adopted by SCAG on September 6, 2012 and
approved by FHWA on December 14, 2012.
1.4 Project Description
1.4.1 Bristol Street Widening Phase IV Project Area
Phase IV of the Bristol Street Widening Project involves the widening of Bristol Street (between Warner
Avenue to Saint Andrew Place) from 4 lanes to 6 lanes with a 150- foot -wide right -of -way cross section
including a 14 -foot wide raised landscaped median; three 12- foot -wide through travel lanes in each
direction; a 7 -foot wide Class 1I bike lane on each side of the roadway; a 15 -foot wide parkway, and 10 -foot
sidewalk with curb ramps for wheelchair access pursuant to American with Disabilities Act of 1990 (ADA)
requirements on both sides of the roadway.
As Bristol Street approaches the intersections between Warner Avenue and Saint Andrew Place, and
between Warner Avenue and Glenwood Place, the landscaped center median would taper to accommodate
right -tarn pockets and left -turn lanes in each direction. The landscaped center median would then continue
north of the Glenwood Place intersection to match the existing raised center median approximately 380 feet
south of Edinger Avenue. The addition of the landscaped center median would improve safety by preventing
left -tum access to /from Saint Gertrude Place, Saint Anne Place, Camden Place, and Carlton Place to the
newly widened Bristol Street. (Note: the intersection of Bristol Street and Saint Andrew Place would be
converted to a right -turn only intersection in both directions.) Additionally, cul -de -sacs would be included
on the west side of Bristol Street at Saint Anne Place, Camden Place, and Carlton Place to improve safety by
preventing access to /from these streets to the newly widened Bristol Street. The location of the Phase IV
Project is shown in Figure 1 and in Figure 2.
Street signs and utilities including electric power lines, telephone poles, and street lighting would be
relocated to new locations within the project area along Bristol Street. Street furniture, including the benches
and bus shelters, will be provided at bus stop locations.
During the one -year construction (approximately mid -2016 to mid- 2017), one lane in each direction would
remain open and existing driveway accesses along Bristol Street would be retained at all rimes. Maximum
excavation depth would be three feet for roadway excavation and 10 feet for utility /drainage excavation.
Construction equipment would be those consistent with other similar roadway widening projects and likely
would include excavators, loaders, backhoes, dump trucks, graders, pavers and rollers, and other
construction trucks.
1.4.2 Property Acquisition
To accommodate the street widening proposed by the Bristol Street Widening project, a combination of full
and partial acquisition of right of way is required from a total of 43 residential and commercial parcels
fronting Bristol Street from Warner Avenue to Saint Andrew Place (refer to Figure 4 [Property Acquisitions]
for the locations of affected properties). Table 2 includes a listing of properties affected and the disposition
of acquisition requirements.

Bristol Street Widening Proiect Warner Ave to Saint Andrew Place (Phase IV)
1.4.3 Changes as Compared to the Approved Project
It should be noted that project phasing has been revised from the original three phases identified in thel990
Final EIS /EIR. Construction phasing of the entire project segment has been further subdivided as follows:
• St. Andrew Place to McFadden Avenue (Constructed in 2002)
• Elm Street to Memory Lane (Constructed in 2003)
• Pine Street to 3`d Street (Constructed in 2009)
• Phase I: McFadden Avenue to Pine Street (Constructed in 2011)'
• Phase IL• 3`d Street to Civic Center Drive (Construction to be completed in 2014)
• Phase IIIA: Civic Center Drive to Washington Avenue
• Phase IIIB: Washington Avenue to 17 "' Street
• Phase IV: Warner Avenue to St. Andrew Place
• Phase V: 17`1i Street to Elm Street
The proposed street widening design configuration for the current Phase IV segment differs from the
original configuration of the 1990 Final EIS /EIR, as follows:
• The proposed Project increases the total right -of -way width from 120 feet to 128 feet. The proposed
Project right -of -way cross - section would maintain a curb -to -curb width of 100 feet, would
accommodate a 7 -foot wide bike lane on each side of the roadway, and would not affect the number
or width of vehicular travel lanes as compared to the right -of -way cross - section addressed in the
1990 FEIS /EIR. However, the proposed Project right -of -way cross section, as compared to the right -
of -way cross section addressed in the 1990 FEIS /EIR, would reduce the width of the sidewalks from
10 to 8 feet and also accommodate a 6 -foot wide parkway on each side of Bristol Street to separate
pedestrian and vehicular travel; a parkway was not included as part of the roadway cross section
addressed in the 1990 FEIS /EIR. Acquisition of property resulting from the proposed Project right -
of -way is accounted for in this analysis.
• The centerline alignment has been shifted to the west starting at St. Gertrude instead of starting at
Glenwood Place with the addition of 4 -feet to the original 20 -foot shift. The street centerline then
shifted back 4 -feet to the east at St. Andrew in order to match the existing centerline north of St.
Andrew. By shifting the centerline at St. Gertrude, the Phase IV Project saved eight parcels from full
take by reducing these parcels to partial acquisitions.
• A bus turnout would be located at the Warner Avenue.
• Change right -of -way requirement from full take to partial take of the following single - family
residential parcels: 015 - 215 -10 (150 square feet), 015- 215 -11 (50 square feet), 015- 214 -10 (50
square feet), 015- 234 -10 (50 square feet), 015- 233 -11 (50 square feet), 015- 233 -10 (50 square feet),
015- 232 -11 (50 square feet), and (015- 232 -10 (50 square feet).
I Phase numbers were assigned to the Bristol Street Widening Project subsequent to cancelation of the CenterLine
Light Rail Transit Project and associated reallocation of funding from that canceled project to the Bristol Street
ANA 305494 (PER 02) CSA (AUGUST 2014) 133867 YU 15
ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT REPORT ADDENDUM
Bristol Street Widening Project Warner Ave to Saint Andrew Place (Phase IV)
Change right -of -way requirement from full take to partial take of Parcel 408- 336 -17 (3,466 square
feet).Land use for the current Project has been changed compared to the 1990 FEIS. The following
parcels have been changed from Park to Park with Commercial Option: 015- 194 -38 and 015 -194-
39.
• Preceding project phase inclusive of the following parcel which is no longer included in the Phase IV
Project right -of -way requirements: 015- 194 -40.
It should be noted that the 1990 FEIS and 2013 NEPA Reevaluation (URS Corporation) provided
comprehensive noise barriers at all easterly parcel boundaries currently fronting the east side of Bristol
Street between Warner Avenue and Saint Andrew Place and comprehensive noise barriers at all westerly
parcel boundaries currently fronting the west side of Bristol Street between West Saint Gertrude Place and
Saint Andrew Place. Using the California Department of Transportation's (Caltrans) May 2011 Traffic
Noise Analysis Protocol, the following noise barriers were determined to be reasonable: NB -4, NB -5, NB -6,
NB -7, NB -8, NB -9, NB -10, and NB -11. These noise barriers are generally equivalent to the recommended
noise barriers shown in the 1990 FEIS and 2013 NEPA Reevaluation. However, barriers NB -6, NB -7, NB -8,
and NB -9 would need to be shifted to the west of the receivers (parcels) that are no longer being acquired.
The modifications and other refinements to the project would not create any additional impacts than what
was identified in the 2013 NEPA Reevaluation; thus, there would be no changes or additions to the
avoidance, minimization, and/or mitigation measures.
The proposed Phase IV Project lane configurations are shown in Figure 5, whereas the lane configurations
from the original approved 1990 Final EIS/EIR are shown in Figure 6.
An assessment of construction and Project related GHG emissions was also not addressed in the 1990
FEIS /EIR, and as a result is addressed in this Addendum.
1.4.4 Construction Timeframe
Construction activities associated with the proposed Project would occur following acquisition of the
required parcels. Construction of the Project is anticipated to begin in mid -2016 and be completed within
approximately one year (mid- 2017).
1.5 Discretionary Actions
The Addendum document must be adopted by the City of Santa Ana City Council as to its adequacy in
complying with the requirements of CEQA and the previously approved 1990 Final EIS /EIR. The City
Council will consider the information contained in the Addendum and the 1990 Final EIS/EIR in making a
decision to approve or deny the proposed project. No discretionary actions with regards to National
Environmental Policy Act (NEPA), or changes are proposed pursuant to NEPA.

Description of Project:
The City of Santa Ana is proposing to widen the Bristol Street between Warner Avenue and Saint Andrew
Place as part of the previously approved Bristol Street from Warner Avenue to Memory Lane Project, for
which an EIS/EIR was certified in 1990.
The Build Alternative involves the widening of Bristol Street (between Warner Avenue to Saint Andrew
Place) from 4 lanes to 6 lanes with a 150 -foot wide right -of -way cross section including a 14 -foot wide
raised landscaped median; 3 12 -foot wide through travel lanes in each direction; a 7 -foot wide Class II bike
lane on each side of the roadway; a 15 -foot wide parkway, and 10 -foot sidewalk with curb ramps for
wheelchair access pursuant to ADA requirements on both sides of the roadway.
As Bristol Street approaches the intersections between Warner Avenue and Saint Andrew Place, and
between Warner Avenue and Glenwood Place, the landscaped center median would taper to accommodate
right -turn pockets and left -turn lanes in each direction. The landscaped center median would then continue
north of the Glenwood Place intersection to match the existing raised center median approximately 380 feet
south of Edinger Avenue. The addition of the landscaped center median would improve safety by preventing
left -turn access to /from Saint Gertrude Place, Saint Anne Place, Camden Place, and Carlton Place to the
newly widened Bristol Street. (Note: the intersection of Bristol Street and Saint Andrew Place would be
converted to a right -turn only intersection in both directions.) Additionally, cul-de-sacs would be included
on the west side of Bristol Street at Saint Anne Place, Camden Place, and Carlton Place to improve safety by
preventing access to /from these streets to the newly widened Bristol Street.

3.0 ENVIRONMENTAL CONSEQUENCES
This section describes the effects of the proposed modifications to the Bristol Street Widening Phase IV project
compared to those identified in the previously approved 1990 Final EIS/EIR document, and to existing
conditions and any changes in regulatory setting since the previously approved 1990 Final EIS /EIR.
Furthermore, this section analyzes the potential environmental impacts associated with the proposed project. The
issue areas evaluated in this document include the following, pursuant to Appendix G of the CEQA Guidelines,
and have been modified to evaluate the proposed project changes for which a Final EIS/EIR has been previously
approved (in 1990) to assist in the determination of the need for a supplemental EIS /EIR or an Addendum. The
modified Initial Study checklist is found in Appendix A.

• Mandatory Findings of Significance
A summary of impacts of the previously approved project and the mitigation measures imposed is provided
along an analysis of the potential impacts resulting from the proposed project and whether those impacts
substantially exceeds those discussed in the previously approved 1990 Final EIS /EIR.
3.1 Aesthetics
This section corresponds with Section IV, Environmental Consequences and Mitigation Measures, subsections
A, Landform Modification, G, Urban Landscaping, J, Light and Glare, and K, Aesthetic Considerations of the
previously approved 1990 Final EIS /EIR.
(a) Have a substantial adverse effect on a scenic vista?
The proposed project would not result in any significant modifications or changes from the previously approved
1990 Final EIS /EIR. The Bristol Street Widening Phase IV intersections are located within a highly developed
urban area of the City. No scenic vistas are located within the project area. No impact to scenic vistas would
result from the proposed project.
Mitigation Measures
No new additional mitigation measures are required.
(b) Substantially damage scenic resources, including, but not limited to, trees, rock outcroppings,
and historic buildings within a state scenic highway?
There are no state designated scenic highways within the project area. The project is located within a highly
developed and urbanized area of the City. No scenic highways are located within close proximity, nor is the
project area visible from any scenic highways. No impacts are anticipated in this regard.
Mitigation Measures
No new additional mitigation measures are required.

ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT REPORTADDENDUM
Bristol Street Widening Project Warner Ave to Saint Andrew Place (Phase IV)
(c) Substantially degrade the existing visual character or quality of the site and its surroundings?
The proposed project involves a total of 43 parcels of which 35 would result in the full take and eight would
result in partial take. Field observations indicated that the potentially affected properties (residential and non-
residential) do not have unique characteristics related to their age or condition that would be difficult to replace,
or possess attributes that are unique. The proposed project would result in a reduced number of acquired units in
comparison to the 1990 Final EIS/EIR and would not result in substantial changes in visual character as
analyzed in the previously approved 1990 Final EIS/EIR. Implementation of mitigation measures as included in
the previously approved 1990 Final EIS /EIR would ensure that impacts are reduced to a less than significant
level.
Mitigation Measures
No additional new mitigation measures are required.
(d) Create a new source of substantial light or glare that would adversely affect day or nighttime
views in the area?
Light and glare are currently generated from existing vehicular uses within the Phase IV project area,
commercial and retail businesses, signage, street lighting, and parking lot lighting. The proposed project does
not involve the construction of any structures other than relocation of street lighting fixtures. Therefore, no new
sources of light or glare are anticipated with implementation of the proposed project. The proposed project
would not generate additional daytime or nighttime illumination beyond that currently experienced within the
area. Implementation of the proposed project would not create more significant light and glare impacts than
previously analyzed in the 1990 Final EIS/EIR.
Mitigation Measures
No additional new mitigation measures are required.
3.2 Agricultural Resources
The previously approved 1990 Final EIS /EIR did not include evaluation for agricultural resources, as no
agricultural resources are located within the area of analysis.
(a) Convert Prime Farmland, Unique Farmland, or Farmland of Statewide Importance (Farmland),
as shown on the maps prepared pursuant to the Farmland Mapping and Monitoring Program of
the California Resources Agency, to non - agricultural use?
The project site is located within a fully developed, urban area of the City of Santa Ana. No Prime, Unique, or
Farmland or Statewide Importance is located in the vicinity of the project site. No impacts would result from the
proposed project. The proposed project would not result in greater impacts than previously analyzed in the 1990
Final EIS /EIR.
Mitigation Measures
No additional new mitigation measures are required.
(b) Conflict with existing zoning for agricultural use, or a Williamson Act contract?
The project site is located within a fully developed, urban area of the City of Santa Ana. The project area is
designated as General Commercial, Park with Commercial, Open Space, and Low Density Residential by the
City of Santa Ana General Plan with a combination of Specific Plan (SPI), General Commercial (C), Two
Family Residential (R2), and Single Family Residential (RI) zoning designations. No agricultural uses exist on
site or in the vicinity, and the project would not conflict with a Williamson Act contract. The proposed project
would not result in greater impacts than previously analyzed in the 1990 Final EIS /EIR.

Mitigation Measures
No additional new mitigation measures are required.
(c) Conflict with existing zoning for, or cause rezoning, of, forest land (as defined in Public
Resources Code section 12220(8)), timberland (as defined by Public Resources Code section
4526), or timberland zoned Timberland Production (as defined by Government Code section
51104(8))?
The project site is located within a fully developed, urban area of the City of Santa Ana. No
timberland or forest resources exist on site or in the vicinity. The project area is either designated as
General Commercial, Park with Commercial, Open Space, or Low Density Residential by the City of
Santa Ana General Plan with a combination of Specific Plan (SP1), General Commercial (C2), Two
Family Residential (R2), and Single Family Residential (R1) zoning designations. Implementation of
the proposed project would not result in greater impacts than previously analyzed in the 1990 Final
EIS /EIR.
Mitigation Measures
No additional new mitigation measures are required.
(d) Result in the loss of forest land or conversion of forest land to non - forest use?
The project site is located within a fully developed, urban area of the City of Santa Ana. No forest land
is located on site or in the vicinity. Implementation of the proposed project would not result in
greater impacts than previously analyzed in the 1990 Final EIS /EIR.
Mitigation Measures
No additional new mitigation measures are required.
(e) Involve other changes in the existing environment which, due to their location or nature, could
result in conversion of Farmland, to non - agricultural use or conversion of forest land to non -
forest use
The project site is fully developed with no agricultural uses within or in the vicinity. No impact would result
from the proposed project. Implementation of the proposed project would not result in greater impacts than
previously analyzed in the 1990 Final EIS /EIR.
Mitigation Measures
No additional new mitigation measures are required.
3.3 Air Quality
This section corresponds with Section IV, Environmental Consequences and Mitigation Measures, subsections
H, Air Quality and V. Construction Impacts of the previously approved 1990 Final EIS /EIR.
(a) Conflict with or obstruct implementation of the applicable air quality plan?
The Bristol Street Widening Phase IV project is a component of the Proposed Widening of Bristol Street from
Warner Avenue to Memory Lane, which was approved in 1990. The Bristol Street Widening Phase IV Project is
included as project number ORA125 in the regional emissions analysis conducted by SCAG for the conforming
2013 FTIP adopted by SLAG on September 19, 2012 and approved by FHWA on December 14, 2012. As
provided in the FTIP, the Approved Project description reads as follows:

The Phase IV Project's design concept and scope have not changed significantly from what was analyzed in the
RTIP and FTIP. This analysis found that the plan and, therefore, the individual projects contained in the plan,
are conforming projects, and would have air quality impacts consistent with those identified in the state
implementation plans (SIPS) for achieving the National Ambient Air Quality Standards (NAAQS). FHWA
determined the RTIP to conform to the SIP.
The Phase IV Project's open to the public year is consistent with (within the same regional emission analysis
period as) the construction completion date identified in the FTIP and/or RTP. The FTIP gives priority to
eligible TCMs identified in the SIP and provides sufficient funds to provide for their implementation. FHWA
determined the TIP to conform to the SIP on December 2010.
The Phase IV Project is also included in the 2013 TIP adopted by SCAG on September 6, 2012 and approved by
FHWA on December 14, 2012.
The Proposed Widening of Bristol Street, from Warner Avenue to Memory Lane project has been included in
the federal TIP since 1992. The federal TIP gives priority to eligible TCMs identified in the SIP and provides
sufficient funds to provide for their implementation. FHWA determined the TIP to conform to the SIP on April
2, 2009. No significant impacts would occur. Implementation of the proposed project would not result in greater
impacts than previously analyzed in the 1990 Final EIS /EIR.
Furthermore, the South Coast Air Basin (SCAB) is designated by the state and US Environmental Protection
Agency (EPA) as nonattaimnent for ozone (03 ), and particulate matter (PM10 and PM2.5 ). The South Coast
Air Quality Management District (SCAQMD) developed regional emissions thresholds to determine whether or
not a project would contribute to air pollutant violations. If a project exceeds the regional air pollutant
thresholds, then the project would substantially contribute to air quality violations in the SCAB. In addition, a
project would also contribute to air pollutant violations if localized emissions result in an exceedanee of the
ambient air quality standards (AAQS).
Short -term emissions generated during project - related construction activities would not exceed the SCAQMD
regional emissions thresholds for any of the criteria pollutants and also would not substantially elevate localized
concentrations of these pollutants. Consequently, the project would be consistent with the AQMP. Long -tern
emissions generated by the project would not exceed the SCAQMD thresholds for regional emissions and would
therefore also not contribute to an increase in frequency or severity of air quality violations.
The proposed project would be consistent with the Major Arterial designation of the City of Santa Ana General
Plan Circulation Element and the County of Orange's Master Plan of Arterial Highways. Additionally, the
project would improve traffic flow and result in a reduction in air pollutant emissions.
Mitigation Measures
No additional new mitigation measures are required.
(b) Violate any air quality standard or contribute substantially to an existing or projected air quality
violation?
Short -tern emissions were modeled for the construction phase of the proposed street widening project.
Construction activities associated with the project would include demolition of pavement and buildings, fine
grading, trenching, paving, and development of ancillary strictures. During construction activities, emissions
from heavy equipment exhaust, delivery trucks, and fugitive dust would be generated for a short duration. To

accurately determine the significance of air quality impacts from construction activities, construction emissions
are quantified and compared to the significance thresholds set by the SCAQMD. Project - specific data, such as
construction timelines and dimensions of the project site, along with general operating guidelines, were used as
inputs to the SCAQMD's California Emissions Estimator Model (CalEEMod) Model (version 2011.1.1) to
quantify construction emissions. As shown in Table 3, emissions calculated by this model were compared to the
SCAQMD's regional significance thresholds.
As shown in Table 3, emissions attributable to construction of the proposed project were found to be below the
significance thresholds adopted by the SCAQMD for all the analyzed air pollutants. Because emissions were
found to be below the SCAQMD's significance thresholds, project related construction emissions are not
considered by the SCAQMD to result in a significant impact. In addition, mitigation measures included in the
1990 Final EIS /EIR would further reduce construction- related air quality impacts.

An assessment of regional emissions associated with the operations phase of the proposed project was also
conducted which compared emissions with and without the proposed project. Air pollutant emissions generated
by roadway vehicles are quantified based on emissions rates that vary based on vehicle speed. Because the
Proposed Project would increase the roadway capacity along Bristol Street, traffic congestion would be
alleviated and average vehicle speeds would increase along improved roadway segments. Table
4 shows the emissions that would occur with and without the proposed Project based on the average vehicle
speeds. As shown in Table 4, air pollutant emissions would be less under the With Project Alternative as
opposed to the No Project Alternative due to the lower emission rates associated with higher average vehicle
speeds. The SCAQMD has established significance thresholds to determine whether the operations phase of
projects would result in significant impacts to regional air quality. The proposed project would result in air
pollutant emissions which are below these significance thresholds and would result in a beneficial impact in
emissions due to improvements in operational phase efficiencies along project roadway segments for the 2015
project opening year.
Emissions occurring during the 2035 design year were also quantified based on the LOS, average vehicle speed
and emission rates that would occur with and without the proposed project. As shown in Table 5, air pollutant
emissions occurring under the With Project Alternative would be less than under the No Project Alternative due
to lower emission rates associated with higher average speeds. Consequently, the Proposed Project for the 2035

Bristol Street Widening Project Warner Ave to Saint Andrew Place (Phase IV)
(c) Result in a cumulatively considerable net increase of any criteria pollutant for which the
project region is non - attainment under an applicable federal or state ambient air quality
standard (including releasing emissions which exceed quantitative thresholds for ozone
precursors)?
The SCAB is designated by the EPA and the State as being nonattainment for 03 , PM10 , and PM2.5 . In
accordance with SCAQMD methodology, any project that does not exceed or can be mitigated to less than
the daily threshold values does not add significantly to a cumulative impact. Since the proposed project would
not exceed the SCAQMD's significance thresholds for construction activities or the operations phase, the
SCAQMD does not consider emissions from the project to add significantly to any cumulative impact.
Furthermore, it should be noted that the proposed project would increase the capacity at three out of the four
study intersections (Bristol Street at Edinger Avenue has already been widened) during both AM and PM
peak hours. Increases in roadway capacity would result in improvement in the LOS along Bristol Street. The
improvement in LOS would result in increases in average vehicle speed and reductions in the amount of delay
vehicles experience at intersections thereby resulting in both lower emissions and lower emissions rates
associated with higher vehicle speeds. As such, the project would continue to result in a beneficial impact.
Implementation of the proposed project would not result in greater impacts than previously analyzed in the
1990 Final EIS /EIR.
Mitigation Measures
No additional new mitigation measures are required.
(d) Expose sensitive receptors to substantial pollutant concentrations?
A project could have the potential to expose sensitive receptors to elevated pollutant concentrations if it
would cause or contribute substantially to elevated pollutant concentration levels or place the project in an
area with elevated pollutant concentrations. An evaluation of air pollutant emissions as it affects local
sensitive receptors has been conducted for both the construction and operations phases of the project.
Localized Construction Impacts
Localized air pollutant emissions are evaluated relative to the exposure of local sensitive uses to air pollutant
concentrations generated by the proposed Project. These are pollutant concentrations which can be directly
correlated to the health -based ambient air quality standards. This differs from regional emissions which were
discussed previously in that regional emissions are used to assess how much air pollution is generated within
an air basin and does not have a direct correlation with health effects.
Localized Significance Thresholds (LSTs) have been developed by the SCAQMD for NOx , CO, PM10, and
PM2.5 . The LSTs determine whether project- related emissions would substantially contribute to or exceed
the ambient air quality standards and expose sensitive receptors to excessive concentrations of air pollutants.
The LSTs differ based on distance such that a greater allowance in air pollutant emissions is allowed for
construction activities occurring further from a sensitive use and a lesser allowance in emissions is given for
construction activities occurring closer to sensitive uses.
Only short-teen emissions occurring at the project site for the Project's constriction phase were included to
determine if sensitive receptors local to the project site would adversely affected. Emissions generated by
construction activities disperse rapidly with distance from the construction site. Individual construction
phases were compared against the SCAQMD's LST significance criteria. As shown in Table 6, project
emissions would not exceed the LST screening level criteria for CO, NO2 , PM10 , or PM2.5 . Because
emissions associated with this alternative would be less than the LST, onsite construction emissions would
not be expected to exceed the federal or California AAQS at the nearest sensitive receptors. As such, no
significant air quality impacts related to localized air pollutants would occur from the construction phase.

TABLE 6 LOCALIZED SIGNIFICANCE THRESHOLDS ANALYSIS FOR CONSTRUCTION
ACTIVITIES
Intersection Hot -Spots
While the proposed Project would not result in any direct sources of localized emissions due to the roadway
street lighting being powered by electricity, changes in LOS or traffic volumes due to the project may cause
indirect sources of localized emissions. While emissions of motor vehicles have improved due to more
stringent vehicle emissions standards and the use of cleaner burning fuels, they continue to be the primary
source of local emissions within the study area. Localized areas where ambient concentrations exceed
national and /or state standards for CO are known as hotspots. The SCAQMD defines typical sensitive
receptors as residences, schools, playgrounds, childcare centers, athletic facilities, long -term health care
facilities, rehabilitation centers, convalescent centers, and retirement homes.
Because CO is produced in greatest quantities from vehicle combustion and does not readily disperse into the
atmosphere, adherence to AAQS is typically demonstrated through an analysis of localized CO
concentrations. Areas of vehicle congestion have the potential to create pockets of CO called "hot spots."
These pockets have the potential to exceed the state one -hour standard of 20 ppm or the eight -hour standard
of 9.0 ppm. Note that the federal levels are based on one- and eight -hour standards of 35 and 9 ppm,
respectively. Thus, an exceedance condition would occur based on the state standards before the federal
standards.
The following intersections were modeled for CO hotspots:
• Bristol Street and Warner Avenue
• Bristol Street and Glenwood Place
• Bristol Street and St. Andrew Place

As shown in Table 7, both the 1 -hour and 8 -hour CO concentrations at the intersections that were affected by
the proposed project would be substantially below the California and federal ambient air quality standards for
CO, potential CO impacts related to the project alternatives are below AAQS and would not result in a
significant air quality impact from CO hotspots.

Intersection Hot -Spots
While the proposed Project would not result in any direct sources of localized emissions due to the roadway
street lighting being powered by electricity, changes in LOS or traffic volumes due to the project may cause
indirect sources of localized emissions. While emissions of motor vehicles have improved due to more
stringent vehicle emissions standards and the use of cleaner burning fuels, they continue to be the primary
source of local emissions within the study area. Localized areas where ambient concentrations exceed
national and /or state standards for CO are known as hotspots. The SCAQMD defines typical sensitive
receptors as residences, schools, playgrounds, childcare centers, athletic facilities, long -term health care
facilities, rehabilitation centers, convalescent centers, and retirement homes.
Because CO is produced in greatest quantities from vehicle combustion and does not readily disperse into the
atmosphere, adherence to AAQS is typically demonstrated through an analysis of localized CO
concentrations. Areas of vehicle congestion have the potential to create pockets of CO called "hot spots."
These pockets have the potential to exceed the state one -hour standard of 20 ppm or the eight -hour standard
of 9.0 ppm. Note that the federal levels are based on one- and eight -hour standards of 35 and 9 ppm,
respectively. Thus, an exceedance condition would occur based on the state standards before the federal
standards.
The following intersections were modeled for CO hotspots:
• Bristol Street and Warner Avenue
• Bristol Street and Glenwood Place
• Bristol Street and St. Andrew Place
• Bristol Street and W. Edinger Avenue
As shown in Table 7, both the 1 -hour and 8 -hour CO concentrations at the intersections that were affected by
the proposed project would be substantially below the California and federal ambient air quality standards for
CO, potential CO impacts related to the project alternatives are below AAQS and would not result in a
significant air quality impact from CO hotspots.

TABLE 7 CO HOTSPOT ANALYSIS (PPM)
As discussed previously, the proposed project would not result in air pollutant concentrations that exceed the
SCAQMD's Localized Significance Thresholds for construction activities. In addition, the operations phase of
the project would not result in CO hotspots. As such, the constriction and operations phases of the project
would not result in significant impacts to air quality which would expose sensitive receptors to substantial air
pollutant concentrations.
Mitigation Measures
No additional new mitigation measures are required.
(e) Create objectionable odors affecting a substantial number of people?
Construction activities associated with the proposed Project may generate detectable odors from heavy- duty
construction equipment and exhaust. Odors associated with diesel and gasoline fumes are transitory in nature
and would not create objectionable odors affecting a substantial number of people. The impacts from these
odors would be short -tern, would cease upon project completion and are not anticipated to be significant.
Implementation of the proposed Project would not result in greater impacts than previously analyzed in the
1990 Final EIS /EIR.

3.4 Biological Resources
This section corresponds with Section IV, Environmental Consequences and Mitigation Measures, subsection
E, Streambed Modification, of the previously approved 1990 Final EIS /EIR.
(a) Have a substantial adverse effect, either directly or through habitat modifications, on any
species identified as a candidate, sensitive, or special - status species in local or regional plans,
policies, or regulations, or by the California Department of Fish and Game or U.S. Fish and
Wildlife Service?
The project site is located within a fully developed urban area within the City of Santa Ana. No special natural
habitat exists on or in the vicinity of the proposed project. Implementation of the proposed project would not
result in greater impacts than previously analyzed in the 1990 Final EIS /EIR.
Mitigation Measures
No new additional mitigation measures are required.
(b) Have a substantial adverse effect on any riparian habitat or other sensitive natural community
identified in local or regional plans, policies, or regulations or by the California Department of
Fish and Game or US Fish and Wildlife Service?
Refer to response in 3.4 (a), above. No riparian habitat or other sensitive natural communities are identified in
the project area or vicinity. Implementation of the proposed project would not result in greater impacts than
previously analyzed in the 1990 Final EIS /EIR.
Mitigation Measures
No new additional mitigation measures are required.
(c) Have a substantial adverse effect on federally protected wetlands as defined by Section 404 of
the Clean Water Act (including, but not limited to, marsh, vernal pool, coastal, etc.) through
direct removal, filling, hydrological interruption, or other means?
Refer to response in 3.4 (a), above. No federally protected wetlands are identified in the project area or
vicinity. The proposed project is located within a fully developed urban area of the City. Implementation of the
proposed project would not result in greater impacts than previously analyzed in the 1990 Final EIS /EIR.
Mitigation Measures
No new additional mitigation measures are required.
(d) Interfere substantially with the movement of any native resident or migratory fish or wildlife
species or with established native resident or migratory wildlife corridors, or impede the use of
native wildlife nursery sites?
The proposed project would not interfere with the movement of any native resident or migratory fish or
wildlife species, corridors, or impede the use of native wildlife nursery sites, as none are located within the
project area. The proposed project is located within a fully developed urban area of the City. Implementation
of the proposed project would not result in greater impacts than previously analyzed in the 1990 Final
EIS/EIR.
Mitigation Measures
No new additional mitigation measures are required.
(e) Conflict with any local policies or ordinances protecting biological resources, such as a tree
(PER 02) CSA (AUGUST 2014) 133967 YU 32
ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT REPORT ADDENDUM
Bristol Street Widening Project WarnerAve to Saint Andrew Place (Phase IV)
preservation policy or ordinance?
The proposed project may involve the removal of existing landscaping, including trees. Any removal or
planting of trees is required to comply with the City of Santa Ana Municipal Code, Article VII, Regulation of
the Planting, Maintenance, and Removal of Trees. Furthermore, the proposed project would not conflict with
the City's tree ordinance. Implementation of the proposed project would not result in greater impacts than
previously analyzed in the 1990 Final EIS /EIR.
Mitigation Measures
No new additional mitigation measures are required.
(f) Conflict with the provisions of an adopted Habitat Conservation Plan, Natural Community
Conservation Plan, or other approved local, regional, or state habitat conservation plan?
The proposed project site is not a part of any habitat conservation plan. The project site is developed with
urban uses and no natural conservation plans are adopted for the area. Implementation of the proposed project
would not result in greater impacts than previously analyzed in the 1990 Final EIS /EIR.
Mitigation Measures
No new additional mitigation measures are required.
3.5 Cultural Resources
This section corresponds with Section IV, Environmental Consequences and Mitigation Measures, subsection
T, Cultural Resources, of the previously approved 1990 Final EIS /EIR.
(a) Cause a substantial adverse change in the significance of a historical resource as de£med in §
15064.5?
The proposed project would not involve changes that were not addressed in the 1990 Final EIS/EIR. Based on
aerial photographs and a windshield survey, the structures do not appear to be of historical significance due to
unique architecture and are not anticipated to cause a substantial adverse change in the significance of a
historical resource. Land uses within the Phase IV project area affected parcels include single family
residential, parking lots, strip malls, shopping plazas, and various office uses. Implementation of the proposed
project would not result in greater impacts than previously analyzed in the 1990 Final EIS /EIR.
Mitigation Measures
No new additional mitigation measures are required.
(b) Cause a substantial adverse change in the significance of an archaeological resource pursuant to
§ 15064.5?
Due to the limited area of disturbance, within an existing developed and urban area, and limited depth of
proposed excavations, the potential to uncover archaeological resources is considered low. However,
implementation of mitigation measures as included in the previously approved 1990 Final EIS /EIR would
reduce impacts to archaeological resources yet uncovered or undiscovered. The proposed project would not
result in archaeological impacts greater than previously analyzed in the 1990 Final EIS /EIR.
Mitigation Measures
No new additional mitigation measures are required.
(c) Directly or indirectly destroy a unique paleontological resource or site or unique geologic
feature?

ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT REPORTADDENDUM
Bristol Street Widening Project Warner Ave to Saint Andrew Place (Phase IV)
As shown in Chapter VI, Resources Element, of the County of Orange General Plan, the project site is not
located in an area of paleontological sensitivity. Also, the proposed project would involve only shallow
excavation. Furthermore, since the project area is already developed, the potential for discovering
paleontological resources during construction is low. Soils occurring in the project area are mostly Quaternary
Alluvium. Typically, these deposits are less than 10,000 years old, and not likely to contain important fossils.
No greater impacts to paleontological resources than previously analyzed in the 1990 Final EIS /EIR would
result from project implementation.
Mitigation Measures
No new additional mitigation measures are required.
(d) Disturb any human remains, including those interred outside of formal cemeteries?
The project site is located within a fully developed urban area of the City. No formal cemeteries are located
within the project area or vicinity. However, in the event that human remains are uncovered during grading or
excavation, contractors are required to comply with the procedures and requirements set forth in the California
Health and Safety Code Section 7050.5 and Public Resources Code Section
2098.98. The County Coroner and, in the event that the remains are Native American, the Native American
Heritage Commission would be notified and, in turn, would notify those persons believed to be most likely
descended from the deceased for appropriate disposition of the remains. The proposed project would not result
in human remains impact greater than previously analyzed in the 1990 Final EIS /EIR.
Mitigation Measures
No new additional mitigation measures are required.
3.6 Geology and Soils

The City of Santa Ana is not included in the Alquist - Priolo Earthquake Fault Zoning Map. The project site is
not underlain by an active fault and the closest fault, the Newport- Inglewood Fault, is approximately eight
miles to the west. The proposed widening would not result in greater impacts than previously analyzed in the
1990 Final EIS /EIR.
Mitigation Measures
No new additional mitigation measures are required.
(a) ii Strong seismic ground shaking?
The Newport - Inglewood Fault is the closest fault to the project site and is the most likely source of ground
shaking impacts. The proposed project is an intersection widening project and would not expose people or
structures to adverse ground shaking impact. The proposed widening would not result in greater impacts than
previously analyzed in the 1990 Final EIS /EIR.

Mitigation Measures
No new additional mitigation measures are required.
(a) iii Seismic - related ground failure, including liquefaction?
The project site is not identified by the 1990 EIS /EIR as having a high liquefaction potential but is near areas
classified as high to medium liquefaction potential. In addition, the project would be constructed to achieve the
standards outlined in the California Building Code to reduce impacts in this regard. Consequently, the
proposed project would not expose people or structures to potential liquefaction impact. The proposed
widening would not result in greater impacts than previously analyzed in the 1990
Final EIS /EIR.
Mitigation Measures
No new additional mitigation measures are required.
(a) iv Landslides?
The proposed project site is generally flat and does not contain any significant slopes. The proposed Project
would not result in greater impacts than previously analyzed in the 1990 Final EIS/EIR.
Mitigation Measures
No new additional mitigation measures are required.
(b) Result in substantial soil erosion or the loss of topsoil?
Exposure of barren rock and soil surfaces during construction would result in soil erosion. However,
considering the slight gradient, anticipated erosion impact is minimal. Furthermore, the project would be
subject to National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) permitting regulation, including the
development and implementation of a Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan (SWPPP) during construction
activities. The SWPPP requires construction contractors to implement best management practices (BMPs) to
reduce sediment from impacting the stormwater system. The increased erosion impact due to the intersection
widening would not be substantially greater than previously analyzed.
(c) Be located on a geologic unit or soil that is unstable, or that would become unstable as a result of
the project, and potentially result in on- or off -site landslide, lateral spreading, subsidence,
liquefaction or collapse?
The 1990 EIS /EIR indicated that there are no instances of midisturbed, natural soils. The project site is
underlain by well- drained alluvial fan or flood plains and is not included in the areas of high subsidence or
high liquefaction hazard (but located south of an area identified as high to medium subsidence for
liquefaction). The project area is fully developed with urban uses within the City. The proposed project will be
constructed in accordance with the standards of the Uniform Building Code (UBC). The proposed project
would not create greater impact than previously analyzed in the 1990 Final EIS /EIR.
Mitigation Measures
No new additional mitigation measures are required.
(d) Be located on expansive soil, as defined in Table 18 -1 -B of the Uniform Building Code (1994),
creating substantial risks to life or property?

The proposed project would not include the construction of any structures other than relocation of existing
utilities. The proposed project would not create substantial risks to life or property and the proposed project
would not create greater impacts than previously analyzed in the 1990 Final EIS /EIR.
Mitigation Measures
No new additional mitigation measures are required.
(e) Have soils incapable of adequately supporting the use of septic tanks or alternative waste water
disposal systems where sewers are not available for the disposal of waste water?
The proposed project would not generate any sewage or wastewater and would not require installation of any
septic tanks or alternative wastewater systems. No impacts are anticipated in this regard.
Mitigation Measures
No new additional mitigation measures are required.
3.7 Greenhouse Gas Emissions
This section corresponds with Section IV, Environmental Consequences and Mitigation Measures, subsection
H, Air Quality, and V. Construction Impacts of the 1990 Final EIS /EIR.
(a) Generate greenhouse gas emissions, either directly or indirectly, that may have a significant
impact on the environment?
The 1990 Final EIS /EIR did not evaluate global climate change or greenhouse gas (GHG) impacts.
Construction activities would consume fuel and result in the generation of GHG emissions. Construction of the
project is anticipated to begin in the early 2015 and be complete later that year. Construction- related GHG
emissions would cease upon completion of the project. Due to the length of construction activities, GHG
emissions associated with construction activities are anticipated to be minimal. Because construction emissions
are not substantial and would cease after completion of construction, GHG emissions would not be significant.
Furthermore, the project proposes intersection widening of Bristol Street from Warner Avenue to Saint
Andrew Place, therefore only carbon dioxide (CO2 ) emissions from mobile- sources are evaluated. Similar to
the other criteria pollutants, the highest emissions would occur between 0 to 10 mph and 50 mph and above.
Because the project would improve traffic flow within the Phase IV project area, the project would result in
reduced CO2 emissions. Consequently, GHG emissions associated with the project would be less than
significant.
Mitigation Measures
No new additional mitigation measures are required.
(b) Conflict with an applicable plan, policy or regulation adopted for the purpose of reducing the
emissions of greenhouse gases?
The proposed project would not conflict with applicable plans, policy or regulations adopted for the purpose of
reducing the emissions of GHG. The proposed project would result in improved traffic flow, reduced vehicle
idling times and congestion. Implementation of the proposed project would not result in new impacts to GHG.
Mitigation Measures
No new additional mitigation measures are required.

3.8 Hazards and Hazardous Materials
This section corresponds with Section IV, Environmental Consequences and Mitigation Measures,
subsections V, Construction Impacts, X, Hazardous Materials, of the 1990 Final EIS/EIR.
(a) Create a significant hazard to the public or the environment through the routine transport, use,
or disposal of hazardous materials?
The proposed project would result in demolition of structures. Compliance with the standard protocol
surveys and abating procedures would be required prior to any demolition activities that would potentially
disturb existing building materials. Furthermore, specific requirements limiting asbestos emissions from
building demolition activities are set forth in SCAQMD Rule 1403 (Asbestos Emission From
Demolition /Renovation Activities). The existing structures to be demolished and roadway paintings and
markers are also required to be surveyed for lead -based paint prior to demolition, in compliance with the
applicable local, state, and federal regulations administered through the California Division of Occupational
Safety and Health. Compliance with existing regulations would ensure that impacts are not greater than
previously analyzed in the 1990 Final EISBIR.
Mitigation Measures
No new additional mitigation measures are required
(b) Create a significant hazard to the public or the environment through reasonably foreseeable
upset and accident conditions involving the release of hazardous materials into the environment?
Refer to response in 3.8 (a), above. Compliance with existing regulations and mitigation measures from the
1990 Final EISBIR would ensure that impacts are not greater than previously analyzed in the 1990
Final EIS /EIR.
Mitigation Measures
No new additional mitigation measures are required.
(c) Emit hazardous emissions or handle hazardous or acutely hazardous materials, substances, or
waste within one - quarter mile of an existing or proposed school?
There are two schools that lie within one - quarter mile of the project site. Table 8 provides a summary of
schools within the Bristol Street Widening ,Phase IV project area.

Hazardous materials can be classified into four basic categories: toxins, flammables, irritants, and
explosives. Toxins include a broad range of industrial chemicals and agricultural pesticides that may cause
serious illness or death to humans. Irritants can cause inflammation or destruction of living tissue with
effects ranging from mild to severe, depending on the degree of exposure and material involved.
Flammables pose the threat of combustion at low ignition temperatures and rapid burning characteristics.
Explosives can produce rapid chemical reactions causing damage from blast and flash fire.
Because of their widespread use, it was assumed that each type of hazardous material was transported
through, used, or stored to some degree, within the project area. Storage and use of hazardous materials was,
and still is, generally limited to the industrial area to the west although hazardous materials are used or
stored along Bristol Street at businesses such as gas stations, auto service shops, metal polishing and plating
operations, and medical clinics. Both Mater Dei High School and Jose Andres Sepulveda Elementary School
were identified and evaluated for potential impact in the 1990 Final EIS /EIR. It is not anticipated that the
project would increase risk of upset beyond previous conditions. Therefore, health risks associated with
project construction activities would be less than significant and impacts are not greater than previously
analyzed in the 1990 Final EIS /EIR.
Mitigation Measures
No new additional mitigation measures are required.
(d) Be located on a site which is included on a list of hazardous materials sites compiled pursuant
to Government Code Section 65962.5 and, as a result, would it create a significant hazard to
the public or the environment?
The proposed project site involves the widening of an existing intersection. The project area is developed
with commercial and retail uses. Compliance with existing regulations and mitigation measures from the
1990 Final EIS /EIR would ensure that impacts are not greater than previously analyzed in the 1990 Final
EIS /EIR.
Mitigation Measures
No new additional mitigation measures are required.
(e) For a project located within an airport land use plan or, where such a plan has not been
adopted, within two miles of a public airport or public use airport, would the project result in
a safety hazard for people residing or working in the project area?
The project site is not within an airport land use plan. The closest airport to the site is John Wayne — Orange
County Airport, miles southeast of the project site. The proposed widening would not introduce any new
risks or increase risks associated with the project.

Mitigation Measures
No new additional mitigation measures are required.
(f) For a project within the vicinity of a private airstrip, would the project result in a safety
hazard for people residing or working in the project area?
The project site is not within the vicinity of a private airstrip and would not create any safety hazard. The
proposed project would not create additional significant impact.
Mitigation Measures
No new additional mitigation measures are required.
(g) Impair implementation of or physically interfere with an adopted emergency response plan or
emergency evacuation plan?
The disruption of traffic and restricted access along Bristol Street between Warner Avenue and Saint
Andrew Place during construction would affect the mobility of emergency vehicles. However, provisions
would be made for interim access and traffic control plans would be prepared prior to each step in the
construction process. Advance warning and information signs would be used to reduce the confusion
motorists may experience during the construction process. It is expected that Bristol Street would remain
open during construction. Although the proposed project may interfere with an emergency evacuation plan,
it would be short term during construction, and the mobility would improve once the project is completed.
Compliance with mitigation measures from the 1990 Final EIS /EIR would ensure that impacts are not
greater than previously analyzed in the 1990 Final EIS /EIR.
Mitigation Measures
No new additional mitigation measures are required.
(h) Expose people or structures to a significant risk of loss, injury or death involving wildland
fires, including where wildlands are adjacent to urbanized areas or where residences are
intermixed with wildlands?
The proposed project site is developed with various urban uses within the City. There are no wildlands in the
project vicinity and no new significant impacts would result with project implementation.
Mitigation Measures
No new additional mitigation measures are required.
3.9 Hydrology and Water Quality
This section corresponds with Section IV, Environmental Consequences and Mitigation Measures,
subsections C, Erosion Impacts, D, Floodplain /Floodway Encroachment, and F, Water Quality of the 1990
Final EIS /EIR.
(a) Violate any water quality standards or waste discharge requirements?
As part of Section 402 of the Clean Water Act, the EPA has established regulations under the National
Pollution Discharge Elimination System ( NPDES) program to control direct stormwater discharges. The
proposed project would be required to comply with the NPDES program for the Santa Ana Regional Water
Quality Control Board (SARWQCB).

ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT REPORT ADDENDUM
Bristol Street Widening Project Warner Ave to Saint Andrew Place (Phase IV)
Construction Activities
Grading and excavation and use of hazardous materials during construction would create potential sources
of polluted discharge. The construction contractor is required to conform to the requirements of the
Statewide NPDES Storm Water Permit. Pursuant to the CWA, in 2001, the State Water Quality Control
Board (SWRCB) issued a statewide general NPDES Permit for stormwater discharges from construction
sites ( NPDES No. CAS000002). Under this Statewide General Construction Activity permit, discharges of
stormwater from construction sites with a disturbed area of one or more acres are required to either obtain
individual NPDES permits for stormwater discharges or to be covered by the General Permit. In addition,
best management practices (BMPs) specified in the Caltrans Storm Water Management Plan (SWMP) are
also applicable. The construction contractor is required to conform to the requirements of the General
NPDES Permit for Construction Activities and any subsequent General Permit in effect at the time of project
construction.
As part of the statewide NPDES permit, the construction contractor would be required to implement BMPs
into their construction operations to reduce potential water quality impacts to the maximum extent
practicable through preparation of a SWPPP. The General Permit contains requirements that BMPs must
meet, including:
Erosion Control
Erosion control, also called stabilization, is the protection of the soil surface so that soil particles do not
become detached by water or wind; and trapping soil particles that do become detached and are moved by
water or wind.
Non - Stormwater Management
Non- stormwater management is the reduction or avoidance of discharges other than stonnwater, such as
from cleaning of vehicles and equipment, and spills of hazardous materials and hazardous wastes. Non-
stormwater management includes requirements for the use and storage of hazardous substances so as to
avoid spills and minimizes pollution by cleaning spills that do occur.
The SWPPP contains BMPs chosen for a project based on the specific activities that would be conducted as
part of that project, and the amounts of stormwater and non - stormwater runoff that are anticipated. The
1990 Final EIS /EIR included a mitigation measure to control stormwater runoff associated with construction
activities. Impacts would be less than significant and would be similar to those identified in the 1990 Final
EIS/EIR. Moreover, the project would comply with the updated NPDES requirements, as described above.
Operational Phase
Operation of the proposed intersection has the potential to degrade water quality as a result of vehicular
travel, including increases in such pollutants as oil, gasoline, grease, lead, and dust. Discharge from the
proposed project to stormwater facilities would consist of non -point sources. Stormwater quality is generally
affected by the length of time since the last rainfall, rainfall intensity, urban uses of the area, and the quantity
of transported sediments. Typical urban water quality pollutants usually result from motor vehicle
operations, oil and grease residue. The majority of pollutant loads are usually washed away during the first
flush of the storm occurring after the dry season period. Due to the nature of the proposed project, generally
occurring within an existing developed area, project impacts are not considered adverse. Consequently,
impacts would be similar to those identified in the 1990 Final EIS /EIR.

(b) Substantially deplete groundwater supplies or interfere substantially with groundwater
recharge such that there would be a net deficit in aquifer volume or a lowering of the local
groundwater table level (e.g., the production rate of pre - existing nearby wells would drop to a
level that would not support existing land uses or planned uses for which permits have been
granted)?
The project site is already developed and is not a groundwater recharging area. The proposed Bristol Street
Widening Phase IV project would not result in increased water consumption and would not deplete
groundwater supplies. No impact to groundwater supplies would result from the proposed project. No
mitigation measures are necessary. Impacts would be similar to those identified in the 1990 Final EIS /EIR.
Mitigation Measures
No new additional mitigation measures are required.
(c) Substantially alter the existing drainage pattern of the site or area, including through the
alteration of the course of a stream or river, in a manner that would result in substantial
erosion or siltation on- or off -site?
The project site is already developed and the existing drainage pattern would not be changed due to the
implementation of Bristol Street Widening Phase IV project. The storm drain improvements would be
limited to relocation and /or construction of catch basins as necessary. Therefore, implementation of the
proposed project would not result in a substantial erosion or siltation on- or offsite due to drainage alteration.
No mitigation measures are necessary. Impacts would be similar to those identified in the 1990 Final
EIS /EIR.
Mitigation Measures
No new additional mitigation measures are required
(d) Substantially alter the existing drainage pattern of the site or area, including through the
alteration of the course of a stream or river, or substantially increase the rate or amount of
surface runoff in a manner that would result in flooding on- or off -site?
The project site is already developed and the existing drainage pattern would not be changed due to the
Bristol Street Widening Phase IV. 'Be storm drain improvements would be limited to construction of
properly designed curb and gutter as necessary. The proposed project would not result in substantial
reduction in impervious ground surfaces. The proposed project would not increase the rate or amount of
surface runoff to create on- or offsite flooding. Impacts would not be greater than previously analyzed in the
1990 Final EIS /EIR.
Mitigation Measures
No new additional mitigation measures are required.
(e) Create or contribute runoff water which would exceed the capacity of existing or
planned storm water drainage systems or provide substantial additional sources of polluted
runoff?
The project site is already developed and the existing drainage pattern would not be changed due to the
Bristol Street Widening Phase IV project. The storm drain improvements would be limited to construction of
catch basins as necessary. The proposed project would not result in substantial increase in impervious
ground surfaces. The proposed project would not increase the rate or amount of surface runoff to create on-
or offsite flooding. Impacts would be similar to those identified in the 1990 Final EIS /EIR.

Mitigation Measures
No new additional mitigation measures are required.
(f) Otherwise substantially degrade water quality?
The project site is currently developed and the proposed project would not result in substantial changes to
the volume or nature of the urban runoff. Impacts would be similar to those identified in the 1990 Final
EIS /EIR. The proposed project would be required to adhere to water quality regulatory requirements, as
described above.
Mitigation Measures
No new additional mitigation measures are required.
(g) Place housing within a 100 -year flood hazard area as mapped on a federal Flood Hazard
Boundary or Flood Insurance Rate Map or other flood hazard delineation map?
The proposed widening would not place any housing within a 100 -year flooding zone as mapped by the
FIRM. No impact would result from the proposed project. Impacts would be similar to those identified in the
1990 Final EIS /EIR.
Mitigation Measures
No new additional mitigation measures are required.
(h) Place within a 100 -year flood hazard area structures which would impede or redirect flood
flows?
The Bristol Street Widening Phase IV project would not place any structures within a 100 -year flood hazard
zone. No impact would result from the proposed project.
Mitigation Measures
No new additional mitigation measures are required.
(i) Expose people or structures to a significant risk of loss, injury or death involving flooding,
including flooding as a result of the failure of a levee or dam?
The proposed street widening does not involve development of any above -grade structures except for the
relocation of utility poles. Therefore, the proposed project would not expose people or structures to a
significant flooding risk any greater than what is already existing onsite. No impact would result from the
proposed project.
Mitigation Measures
No new additional mitigation measures are required.
(j) Inundation by seiche, tsunami, or mudflow?
The project site is approximately 10 miles inland from the Pacific Ocean. The likelihood of tsunami
impacting a site more than five miles inland is minimal. The project site and its vicinity are built out with
urban uses and there is no unusual slope or geologic feature in the area. The potential for seiche, tsunami, or
mudflow impacting the project site is less than significant. Impacts would be similar to those identified in
the 1990 Final EIS /EIR.

This section corresponds with Section IV, Environmental Consequences and Mitigation Measures,
subsection A, Landfonn Modification, of the 1990 Final EIS /EIR.
(a) Physically divide an established community?
The project area is developed with various urban uses and the proposed widening would not divide an
established community. Although there would be partial and full takes, the project would not create a
physical barrier to separate a community. The proposed project would not introduce any significant land use
impacts than previously analyzed. No significant impact would result from the project implementation.
Impacts would be similar to those identified in the 1990 Final EIS /EIR.

Mitigation Measures
No new additional mitigation measures are required.
(b) Result in the loss of availability of a locally - important mineral resource recovery site
delineated on a local general plan, specific plan or other land use plan?
The project site is currently developed and is not delineated as a mineral resources recovery site by the City
of Santa Ana General Plan. Implementation of the proposed project would have no impact on the mineral
resources and no mitigation measures are necessary. Impacts would be similar to those identified in the 1990
Final EIS/EIR.
Mitigation Measures
No new additional mitigation measures are required.
3.12 Noise
This section corresponds with Section IV, Environmental Consequences and Mitigation Measures,
Subsection I, Noise, and V, Construction Impacts of the 1990 Final EIS /EIR.
(a) Exposure of persons to or generation of noise levels in excess of standards established in the
local general plan or noise ordinance, or applicable standards of other agencies?
The proposed project involves widening of Bristol Street between Warner Avenue and Saint Andrew Place.
The land uses in between Warner Avenue and St. Gertrude Place, and adjacent to the project, are
commercial (Category C) on the west side of Bristol Street, and a mix of residential and commercial land
uses on the east side of Bristol Street. The land uses on both sides of Bristol Street between St. Gertrude and
St. Andrew Place are residential. Mater Dei High School is located along the east side of Bristol Street north
of St. Andrew Place. Jose Andres Sepulveda Elementary School is west of Bristol Street in this same area.
The future noise modeling results of the 1990 Final EIS /EIR indicated that future noise levels would be no
more than one dBA higher with the project as compared to levels without project improvements (noise level
changes of less than 3 dBA are normally inaudible to the human ear).
The 1990 Final EIS /EIR (and 2013 NEPA Reevaluation) provided comprehensive noise barriers at all
easterly parcel boundaries currently fronting the east side of Bristol Street between Warner Avenue and
Saint Andrew Place and comprehensive noise barriers at all westerly parcel boundaries currently fronting the
west side of Bristol Street between West Saint Gertrude Place and Saint Andrew Place. The following noise
barriers were determined to be reasonable: NB -4, NB -5, NB -6, NB -7, NB -8, NB -9, NB -10, and NB -11.
These noise barriers are generally equivalent to the recommended noise barriers shown in the 1990 FEIS and
2013 Reevaluation. However, barriers NB -6, NB -7, NB -8, and NB -9 would need to be shifted to the west of
the receivers (parcels) that are no longer being acquired in whole such that these barriers are now proposed
at the westerly parcel boundaries that front the east side of Bristol Street between Saint Anne Place and Saint
Andrew Place (refer to Figure 7a and Figure 7b). Furthermore, the reasonable noise barriers would be
constructed at a height of 8 feet, as opposed to 6 feet as identified in the 1990 FEIS and 2013 NEPA
Reevaluation. The modifications and other refinements to the project would not create any additional
impacts than what was identified in the 1990 Final EIS/EIR.
With implementation of the mitigation measures from the 1990 Final EIS /EIR, noise impacts would be
similar to that identified in the 1990 Final EIS /EIR.

Bristol Street Widening Project Warner Ave to Saint Andrew Place (Phase IV)
(b) Exposure of persons to or generation of excessive groundborne vibration or groundborne noise
levels?
Refer to response in 3.12 (a.) above. Project construction will involve typical groundborne noise and
vibration. However, the majority of construction activities will consist of standard procedures, and will be
relatively limited for any particular area. Construction activities would comply with the City of Santa Ana
Municipal Code, which limits construction noise to the least noise sensitive portions of the day. Impacts
would be similar to those identified in the 1990 Final EIS /EIR with implementation of mitigation measures
as included in the 1990 Final EIS /EIR.
Mitigation Measures
No new additional mitigation measures are required.
(c) A substantial permanent increase in ambient noise levels in the project vicinity above levels
existing without the project?
Refer to response in 3.12 (a.) above. During construction of the proposed project, the noise associated with
construction may intermittently dominate the noise environment in the immediate area of construction.
Typical construction equipment for roadway construction is expected to generate noise levels ranging from
74 to 89 decibels (0) at a distance of 50 feet. However, no additional adverse noise impacts from
construction are anticipated as construction would comply with the City of Santa Ana Municipal Code,
which limits construction noise to the least noise sensitive portions of the day. Construction equipment
would be properly fitted and maintained according to the manufacturer's specifications. Furthermore,
construction noise would be short-tern, temporary and cease upon completion of the proposed project.
Impacts would be similar to those identified in the 1990 Final EIS/EIR with implementation of mitigation
measures, as identified in the 1990 Final EIS /EIR.
Mitigation Measures
No new additional mitigation measures are required.
(d) A substantial temporary or periodic increase in ambient noise levels in the project
vicinity above levels existing without the project?
Refer to responses 3.12 (c), above, for discussion regarding temporary noise impacts associated with
construction.
Mitigation Measures
No new additional mitigation measures are required.
(e) For a project located within an airport land use plan or, where such a plan has not been
adopted, within two miles of a public airport or public use airport, would the project
expose people residing or working in the project area to excessive noise levels?
The project site is not located within an airport land use plan. The nearest airport is the John Wayne Airport
approximately 3.5 miles southeast of the southernmost Phase IV project intersection. No impacts would
occur. Impacts would be similar to those identified in the 1990 Final EIS/EIR.
Mitigation Measures
No new additional mitigation measures are required.
(f) For a project within the vicinity of a private airstrip, would the project expose people residing
or working in the project area to excessive noise levels?

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
ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACTREPORTADDENDUM

individuals. Before any displacement occurs, residential and non - residential displacees will be presented
with a list of comparable replacement properties that are available within the last six months for rent, lease,
or purchase regardless of race, color, religion, sex or national origin, and would be consistent with the
requirements of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1968. Impacts would be similar to those identified in the
1990 Final EIS /EIR.
Mitigation Measures
No new additional mitigation measures are required.
3.14 Public Services
This section corresponds with Section IV, Environmental Consequences and Mitigation Measures,
subsections P, Impacts on Community Facilities, and V, Construction hnpacts of the 1990 Final EIS /EIR.
(a) Fire Protection?
The proposed project is an intersection widening project and no increase in demand for fire protection
services would occur with implementation of the proposed project. Furthermore, the proposed project would
result in positive impacts as a result of greater congestion relief and increased mobility in the vicinity for
motor vehicles including emergency vehicles. hnpacts would be similar to those identified in the 1990 Final
EIS /EIR.
Mitigation Measures
No new additional mitigation measures are required.
(b) Police Protection?
Refer to response for Section 3.14 (a), above. The proposed project would reduce congestion and traffic
idling times, and therefore, increase mobility of emergency vehicles, including police vehicles. The
proposed project would not result in the need or increase the demand for police services in the area.
Mitigation Measures
No new additional mitigation measures are required.
(c) Schools?
No schools would be impacted by the proposed project and no school services would be affected by the
proposed project. Impacts would be similar to those identified in the 1990 Final EIS/EIR.
Mitigation Measures
No new additional mitigation measures are required.
(d) Parks?
The proposed project is a road widening project and no park site would be acquired as part of the project. No
park services would be increased or impacted by the proposed project and no impact would result from the
proposed project. Impacts would be similar to those identified in the 1990 Final EIS /EIR.
Mitigation Measures
No new additional mitigation measures are required.
(e) Other public facilities?

3.15 Recreation
This section corresponds with Section IV, Environmental Consequences and Mitigation Measures,
subsection P, Impact on Recreational Facilities, of the 1990 Final EIS /EIR.
(a) Would the project increase the use of existing neighborhood and regional parks or other
recreational facilities such that substantial physical deterioration of the facility would occur
or be accelerated?
The proposed project is not a growth- inducing project and would not create demand for recreation services.
Physical deterioration of recreational facilities would not result from the proposed intersection widening and
no impact would result from the project implementation. No mitigation measures are required with regards
to recreational resources. Impacts would be similar to those identified in the 1990 Final EIS /EIR.
Mitigation Measures
No new additional mitigation measures are required.
(b) Does the project include recreational facilities or require the construction or expansion of
recreational facilities that might have an adverse physical effect on the environment?
The proposed intersection widening would not require the construction or expansion of recreational facilities
and no adverse physical impact would be generated. No mitigation measures are required. Impacts would be
similar to those identified in the 1990 Final EIS /EIR.
Mitigation Measures
No new additional mitigation measures are required.
3.16 Transportation /Traffic
This section corresponds with Section IV, Environmental Consequences and Mitigation Measures,
subsections U, Impacts to Transportation Facilities, and V, Construction Impacts of the 1990 Final EIS /EIR.
(a) Conflict with an applicable plan, ordinance or policy establishing measures of effectiveness for
the performance of the circulation system, taking into account all modes of transportation
including mass transit and non - motorized travel and relevant components of the circulation
system, including but not limited to intersections, streets, highways and freeways, pedestrian
and bicycle paths, and mass transit.
The Bristol Street Widening Phase IV project is consistent with the applicable plans, ordinances and policies
establishing measures of effectiveness for the performance of the circulation system as described in the 1990
Final EIS /EIR. The widening of Bristol Street was designated in the Orange County Master 'Plan, and was
recommended in the Bristol Street Corridor Study — Final Report by Mohle, Grover & Associates in 1983. It
was also recommended in the Arterial Highway Element — Santa Ana Element — Santa Ana Transportation
Corridor State II Alternative Analysis prepared by Parsons Brinkerhoff Quade and Douglas, Inc., in 1983.
The proposed widening is also in agreement with the recommendation found in the Intercity Liaison
Committee — Five -Year Transportation Study Update to 1990 prepared by Basmaeiyan- Darnell, Inc., in

Avenue, Glenwood Place, and Saint Andrew Place intersections. Impacts would be similar to those
identified in the 1990 Final EIS/EIR.
Mitigation Measures
No new additional mitigation measures are required.
(b) Conflict with an applicable congestion management program, including, but not limited to
level of service standards and travel demand measures, or other standards established by the
county congestion management agency for designated roads or highways?
The proposed project would result in an improvement to Bristol Street from Warner Avenue to Saint
Andrew Place. Once the project has been implemented, all roadway segments would operate at LOS D or
better. The proposed project would not cause the County congestion agency's LOS standards to be
exceeded. Impacts would be similar to those identified in the 1990 Final EIS /EIR.
Mitigation Measures
No new 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 3.5 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 be similar to those
identified in the 1990 Final EIS /EIR.
Mitigation Measures
No new 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., farm equipment)?
The proposed project would improve the traffic flow along Bristol Street from Warner Avenue to Saint
Andrew Place and would not create any sharp curves or other incompatible uses. The proposed project
would not create any significant hazards beyond what was previously analyzed. Impacts would be similar to
those identified in the 1990 Final EIS /EIR.
Mitigation Measures
No new additional mitigation measures are required.
(e) Result in inadequate emergency access?
The proposed project would improve traffic flow along Bristol Street in the long -term. However, during the
construction phase, the disruption of traffic and restricted access along Bristol Street could temporarily
affect the mobility of emergency vehicles. Provisions would be made for interim access, and traffic control
plans would be prepared prior to construction. Additionally, advance warning and information signs would
be used to reduce the confusion motorists may experience during the construction process. Bristol Street
would remain open during construction. Although the proposed project may interfere with emergency access
in the short -tern, it would improve emergency access once the project is completed. The proposed project
would not result in a more significant impact to emergency access than previously analyzed, and with the
implementation of mitigation measures as prescribed in the 1990 Final EIS/EIR.

important examples of the major periods of California history or prehistory?
The proposed project would not result in greater impacts as compared with the 1990 Final EIS /EIR and does
not have the potential to degrade the environment, reduce the habitat of a fish or wildlife species, threaten
plant or animal communities, reduce or restrict endangered plant or animal species or eliminate important
examples of major periods of California history or prehistory.
(b) Does the project have impacts that are individually limited, but cumulatively considerable?
( "Cumulatively considerable" means that the incremental effects of a project are
considerable when viewed in connection with the effects of past projects, the effects of
other current projects, and the effects of probable future projects)?
Due to the relatively limited nature of the proposed project and in consideration of mitigation measures
addressed in the 1990 Final EIS/EIR, the project would not involve impacts that are cumulatively
considerable.
(c) Does the project have environmental effects which will cause substantial adverse effects on
human beings, either directly or indirectly?
Construction - related activities are anticipated to have some minor, temporary impacts, which can be
mitigated with implementation of measures included in the 1990 Final EIS /EIR. Furthermore, potential long-
term impacts would be reduced to less than significant levels through implementation of required mitigation
measures.

APPENDIX A MODIFIED INITIAL STUDY CHECKLIST
ANA 305 -194 (PER 02) CSA (AUGUST 2014) 133867 YU
Modified Initial Study Checklist
The following Modified Initial Study (MIS) Checklist is based on the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA)
Initial Study Checklist. It is modified to evaluate the proposed project changes for which environmental impact
reports /statements have previously been completed to assist in the determination of the need for supplemental
environmental documents, in this case, a Supplemental EIS/EIR or an Addendum under Public Resources Code
21166 and Guideline Sections 15162, 15163, and 15164. For purposes of this study, references to "the proposal' in
the left hand column questions refer to the proposed project changes.
The first four columns to the right of the MIS questions identify whether the proposed project changes would result
in new impacts and if so whether these impacts would be less than significant, less than significant after mitigation,
or significant.
The fifth column asks whether or not the impacts associated with project changes, if any, were sufficiently disclosed
in the previous environmental documents (Not Addressed).
Finally, the last column indicates whether or not a Supplemental EIS /EIR is needed. A Supplemental EIS /EIR would
be needed if there were new significant unmitigated or substantially more severe impacts which would result from
the project changes and which were not sufficiently disclosed in the previous environmental documents.
Discussion in support of the conclusions indicated on the checklist is provided in Chapter 3
