Would the project result in substantial adverse physical impacts associated with the provision of new or physically altered governmental facilities, need for new or physically altered governmental facilities, the construction of which could cause significant environmental impacts, in order to maintain acceptable service ratios, response times or other performance objectives for any of the public services: Fire protection? Less Than Significant with Mitigation Incorporated. The proposed Project would not result in any new land uses that would require fire protection. Fairview Street is currently used by the OCFA to access land uses in this part of Santa Ana. The proposed Project would reduce congestion along Fairview Street. No long-term road closures and no closures during peak travel hours are anticipated through the Project area during construction of the proposed improvements, and at least one through -traffic lane in each direction would be kept open at all times. However, construction activities may temporarily restrict local vehicular traffic, which could affect emergency response or evacuation. A TMP is needed to ensure that adequate emergency response and evacuation will be maintained. Mitigation Measure TR-1, provided later in Section 3.17, Transportation, requires that a TMP be developed during final design to address impacts to local circulation during construction, including emergency access. The TMP would require that emergency service providers be notified prior to Project construction regarding any temporary limitations to emergency access.
