City of Santa Ana Addendum to the MainPlace Mall Transformation Project Fashion Square Commercial Center Final EIR MM 5.6-7 Develop and maintain an aggressive Transportation Systems Management (TSM) Program designed to maximize use of transit and ride sharing and staggering of work hours. A realistic target of 20 percent increase in ride sharing and transit usage is established as the goal for a TSM Program. The developer shall be required to develop a program designed to achieve the goal and submit this program to the City for approval. In addition, the developer will be required to provide a Transportations System Management Coordinator to actively pursue implementation of the TSM/Parking Management Program. This position need not necessarily be on a full-time basis until such time as implementation of a substantial portion of the proposed office use is underway. The developer also shall be required to provide and maintain a security force whose task, among others, shall be to enforce all on -site parking regulations. [Status: Continuing applicability to this Project] MM 5.6-8 A. Design buildings to accommodate second level access from a future transit station on Main Street in the vicinity of Town and Country Road and/or a possible future grade separated pedestrian bridge connecting developments on both sides of Main Street. The buildings and internal pedestrian circulation should be designed to allow for such future improvements, which would serve to minimize at -grade pedestrian crossing of Main Street at street level. (Main Street will be a 124-foot-wide with high volumes of turning traffic and transit operations). B. On -site pedestrian circulation must be maximized to facilitate easy movement of people between buildings. Vehicular traffic must be intercepted at major entrances along the public service road and channelized quickly to parking areas. Convenient pedestrian facilities must be provided from the parking areas to the buildings and to the transit station/bus stops. [Status: Completed/not applicable to this Project] Regarding Mitigation Measure 5.6-1, this measure has already been implemented, and the TSIP is no longer in effect. Regarding Mitigation Measure 5.6-2, this measure required the developer of the Mall to "[p]rovide funding for the construction of a pair of new freeway ramps on the west side of Fashion Square linking the Santa Ana Freeway with a public road surrounding the Project" (the future Main Place Drive) but was determined to be infeasible, and replaced with an obligation to contribute to the cost of other ramps then planned by Caltrans. This change was documented in a 1992 amendment to the Participation Agreement between the City's Redevelopment Agency and the Mall developer. Regarding Mitigation Measure 5.6-3, this measure required the widening of Main Street along the Fashion Square frontage to provide for four southbound lanes; however, this measure has been superseded by the General Plan Circulation Element, which identifies Main Street as a 6-lane major arterial.
