The land use measures are applicable to residential development include: • T-1 Increase Residential Density, • T-3 Provide Transit -Oriented Development, and • T-4 Integrate Affordable and Below Market Rate Housing. The proposed project is denser than the surrounding area (Measure T-1), and density is associated with lower VMT. However, the Handbook states: "This measure is best quantified when applied to larger developments and developments where the density is somewhat similar to the surrounding area due to the underlying research being founded in data from the neighborhood." (p. 70) The VMT benefits of density are highly correlated with being in walkable mixed -use neighborhoods. As shown in Figure 4, the proposed project is not within a higher -density mixed use neighborhood. There appears to be no housing of similar density in the neighborhood today. A large proportion of the land use is devoted to autos including freeways, wide streets, and surface parking. In the immediate vicinity of the proposed project, 4t" Street is a 6-lane divided roadway posted at 40 mph and Cabrillo Park Drive is a four -lane, divided roadway posted at 35 mph (Revised Traffic Circulation Analysis, p. 8). Therefore, the VMT- reduction benefits of density in this location are uncertain. Figure 4: Project Vicinity The proposed project is not a transit -oriented development (TOD) (Measure T-3). The Handbook states: "TOD refers to projects built in compact, walkable areas that have easy access to public transit, ideally in a location with a mix of uses, including housing, retail offices, and community facilities." As shown in Figure 5, although most of the City of Santa Ana is within Transit Priority Areas (within a half mile of a Metrolink Station and/or a High -Quality Bus Stop), but the proposed project is not.
