City of Santa Ana MainPlace Mall Transformation Project Traffic Impact Study 6. Install traffic signals at the intersection of La Veta Avenue at Bedford Road and at the intersection of Bristol Avenue/La Veta Road at the SR-57 southbound off -ramp. 7. Develop a Transportation System Management (TSM) Program to maximize use of transit, ride - sharing and staggering of work hours. 8. Provide second -level access from a future transit station on Main Street to minimize at -grade pedestrian crossings of Main Street. The Final EIR concluded that even with these project -specific improvements, the project would have a significant impact on the streets and freeways surrounding the project, and that full development of Fashion Square would depend on the completion of other local street and freeway improvements to accommodate the project traffic. 1.1.2 Addendum to the Final EIR for MainPlace / Santa Ana — 2000 Addendum (ER 96-033) to the Environmental Impact Report for Proposed MoinPloce/Santa Ana Expansion noted that the existing MainPlace Regional Shopping Center had approximately 1.1 million sf of leasable retail space. Subsequent entitlements in 2000 revised the allowed land uses approved in 1983. The vesting tentative parcel map approved in 2000 would allow up to 1,509,255 sf of retail, 1,500,000 sf of office space, and 400 hotel rooms. With regards to traffic, the Addendum concluded the following: "The proposed expansion modifications are not estimated to result in any additional significant impacts compared to those identified in the Traffic Study for Fashion Square EIR. The measures identified to mitigate the anticipated impacts of the Fashion Square Commercial Center served to mitigate a much larger project than the proposed expansion and that which exists as MainPlace. The measures are more than adequate to mitigate the estimated impacts of the proposed MainPlace Expansion." Kimley>»Horn Page 12
