approval of the City of Santa Ana and Caltrans. Per City requirements, the Project may be expected to pay a fair-share/local fee to cover the Project's fair share of the full construction costs needed to implement these mitigation measures. 11.1.3 Year 2040 Buildout Plus Project Traffic Conditions The results of the intersection capacity analyses presented previously in Table 8-3 shows that the proposed Project is expected to have a significant impact at two (2) of the twenty-five (25) key study intersections under Year 2040 Buildout Plus Project traffic conditions. As such, the following intersection improvements are recommended to mitigate the impacts of the proposed Project under these conditions. ■ No. 8 — I-5 NB Ramps at Fourth Street: Same as those identified in Section 11.1.2 — Construct an additional westbound right -turn lane. Modify the existing traffic signal as necessary inclusive any modifications to the traffic signal phasing. This improvement is consistent with the Traffic Impact Study for the Metro East Overlay Zone in the City of Santa Ana. This improvement is subject to the review and approval of the City of Santa Ana and Caltrans. The proposed Project is expected to pay the full construction cost needed to implement these mitigation measures which are reflected in the Project site plan and is considered a "design feature". ■ No. 13 — SR-55 SB Ramps at Fourth Street: Same as those identified in Sections 11.1.1 and 11.1.2 — Modify the eastbound shared through/right-turn lane to construct a free -right turn lane. Modify the existing traffic signal as necessary. This improvement is subject to the review and approval of the City of Santa Ana and Caltrans. Per City requirements, the Project may be expected to pay a fair-share/local fee to cover the Project's fair share of the full construction costs needed to implement these mitigation measures. 11.2 Project -Specific Improvements The following improvements are being implemented as part of the proposed Project, which the Project is expected to pay the full construction costs: ■ No. 9 — Cabrillo Park Drive at Fourth Street: Construct an exclusive southbound right - turn lane. Modify the existing traffic signal as necessary. This improvement, which has been incorporated in the Project site plan as a Project "design feature" is subject to the review and approval of the City of Santa Ana. As an alternative to the above mentioned improvement, subject to review and approval of City staff, an option southbound through/right lane in addition to the proposed southbound right -turn lane is proposed to minimize the southbound right -turning vehicles from impeding the through traffic. 11.3 Recommended Circulation Enhancement The following improvements are recommended to be implemented to enhance circulation within the Project Vicinity, thereby maintaining acceptable operating conditions:
