Community Plan Exemption Checklist City of Santa Ana Gary Avenue Business Park Project 91 915 fewer trips on a daily basis than the existing office buildings, with 137 fewer trips in the AM peak hour, and 126 fewer trips during the PM peak hour. The proposed light industrial warehouse building would generate 203 daily PCE trips including 20 AM peak hour and 22 PM peak hour trips. Compared to the existing trips generated from the existing three office buildings, the daily number of trips would be reduced by 915 trips, including 137 less trips in the AM peak hour and 126 less trips in the PM peak hour. Therefore, the Project would result in no new impacts related to roadway circulation.

The closest OCTA bus stop is located at the intersection of Red Hill Avenue and Alton Parkway, approximately 0.6 mile from the Project site. In addition, there are no bicycle lanes or sidewalks near the Project site. The Project would not result in new impacts to transit or bicycle facilities. The proposed Project would install a new sidewalk along Garry Avenue and the site frontage that would improve the existing pedestrian circulation at the site. Thus, the Project would also not result in new impacts to pedestrian facilities. Overall, the proposed Project would not result in new impacts related to transportation. b) Would the project conflict or be inconsistent with CEQA Guidelines section 15064.3, subdivision (b)? No New Impact. Senate Bill 743 (SB 743) was signed into law on September 27, 2013 and changed the way that public agencies evaluate transportation impact under CEQA. A key element of this law is the elimination of using auto delay, LOS, and other similar measures of vehicular capacity or traffic congestion as a basis for determining significant transportation impacts under CEQA. The legislative intent of SB 743 was to "more appropriately balance the needs of congestion management with statewide goals related to infill development, promotion of public health through active transportation, and reduction of greenhouse 8/22/2022 Planning Commission 2 – 130
