W:cu:lrd"TA <br />system, including but not limited to intersections, streets, highways and freeways, pedestrian and bicycle <br />paths, and mass transit? <br />Threshold: Would the Project conflict with an applicable congestion management program, <br />including, but not limited to level of service standards and travel demand measures, or other standards <br />established by the county congestion management agency for designated roads or highways? <br />Finding: Less than significant impact. (DEIR, p. 4.11-12 through 4.11-32.) <br />Facts in Support of Finding: The Project would not conflict with an applicable plan, ordinance or policy <br />establishing measures of effectiveness for the performance of the circulation system, including the Orange <br />County Congestion Management Program, Caltrans Measures of Effectiveness, City of Santa Ana General <br />Plan Circulation Element, and the City of Orange General Plan Circulation Element. Based on the <br />thresholds identified in these plans, the Project would result in a less than significant impact, as further <br />explained in the DEIR. Notably, the vehicular trips that would be generated by the Project would not cause <br />an exceedance of any traffic level of service threshold at any intersection or roadway segment. (DEIR, p. <br />4.11-12 through 4.11-32.) <br />For the reasons discussed above and the reasons discussed in the DEIR, impacts associated with this issue <br />would be less than significant, and no mitigation is required. (DEIR, p. 4.11-12 through 4.11-32.) <br />9.15.2 Air Traffic Patterns <br />Threshold: Would the Project result in a change in air traffic patterns, including either an increase <br />in traffic levels or a change in location that results in substantial safety risks? <br />Finding: No impact. (DEIR, p. 2-8, Initial Study, p. 58.) <br />Facts in Support of Finding: The Project does not propose any uses that would affect air traffic patterns <br />or air traffic levels. No portion of the Project would change air traffic patterns by extending into airspace. <br />The closest operating airport is over 6 miles south of the Project site. The Project would not result in a <br />change in air traffic patterns. (DEIR, p. 2-8, Initial Study, p. 58.) <br />For the reasons discussed above and the reasons discussed in the DEIR, impacts associated with this issue <br />would be less than significant, and no mitigation is required. (DEIR, p. 2-8, Initial Study, p. 58.) <br />9.15.3 Design Feature Hazards <br />Threshold: Would the Project substantially increase hazards due to a design feature (e.g., sharp <br />curves or dangerous intersections) or incompatible uses (e.g., farm equipment)? <br />Finding: Less than significant impact. (DEIR, pp. 4.11-33.) <br />Facts in Support of Finding: The Project would not result in hazards related to a design feature or <br />incompatible use. The Project driveways include direct access to the parking structure, and access from <br />N. Main Street would be restricted to right -tum ingress/right-tum egress to provide for safe and effective <br />circulation. As noted in the Traffic Impact Analysis referenced in the DEIR, motorists entering and exiting <br />the Project site would be able to do so comfortably, safely, and without undue congestion. Moreover, and <br />as noted by the Traffic Impact Analysis, the neighborhood intersections and roadway have adequate <br />capacity to support the Project.
