l <br />(2) Noise - To the extent that a reduction in scale of the <br />project reduces project -induced traffic on Main Street (reference <br />Section 6.3J ), the noise impact on Owens Drive residents will likewise <br />be reduced. <br />(3) Shade/Shadow and Solar Glare - The potential adverse <br />impacts of shadowing and glare are consequences of building height and <br />materials rather than the overall size of the development. A low limit <br />on building height could eliminate such effects, but would appear to be <br />an unnecessarily drastic alternative to the mitigation measure <br />recommended for the project. <br />(4) Housing and Airport Use - A reduction in the scale of the <br />project would likewise reduce the demand for housing in the area by <br />project employees and the demand for use of the John Wayne Airport. <br />(5) Demand for Police, Fire, and Paramedic Services - A <br />reduction in the scale of the project would reduce the demand for use of <br />police, fire, and paramedic services. It would also reduce city tax <br />revenues from the site which would otherwise be available for possible <br />augmentation of those services. <br />6.3.2 Traffic and Circulation <br />In order to determine the sensitivity of the transportation <br />system recommended in the Phase Two TSIP to changes in the size of the <br />Fashion Square project, a 33 percent across-the-board reduction in the <br />project was tested. Two tests were conducted. The most meaningful was <br />a comparison of the traffic reduction occurring on Main Street as a <br />result of a 33 percent reduction in Fashion Square. To answer this <br />question, peak period trips were reduced by one third and a computerized <br />selected link analysis was used to determine the effect on the direc- <br />tional design hourly volumes (DDHV) for Main Street.
