AA No. 2024-01, CUP No. 2024-01, and CUP No. 2024-02 for McDonald's Restaurant at <br />2101 and 2109 E. Santa Clara Avenue <br />February 26, 2024 <br />Page 15 <br />and Monitoring and Reporting Program (MMRP) can be found as part of the overall <br />environmental documents provided in Exhibit 10. <br />Historic or Cultural Significance <br />Two built environment resources over 45 years old were identified within the project site: <br />2101 and 2109 East Santa Clara Avenue. The properties were recorded and evaluated <br />for historical significance on the appropriate set of State of California Department of Parks <br />and Recreation (DPR) Forms in consideration of California Register of Historic Resources <br />(CRHR) and local City designation criteria and integrity requirements. Both properties <br />were found not eligible under all state and local designation criteria due to a lack of <br />significant historical associations and architectural merit. No historical resources were <br />identified within the project site as a result of this study. Therefore, with respect to built <br />environment resources, the proposed project will have a less than significant impact on <br />historical resources under CEQA. <br />Traffic Impacts <br />A Transportation Analysis was prepared for the proposed project by Urban Crossroads, <br />dated August 16, 2023. The findings of the analysis were summarized in Section 4.17 <br />(Transportation) of the IS/MND, and the Transportation Analysis in its entirety is included <br />as Appendix K to the Draft IS/MND. The Transportation Analysis included a Level of <br />Service (LOS) analysis, which is a qualitative description of traffic flow based on several <br />factors including speed, travel time, delay, and freedom to maneuver. Moreover, the <br />project specific Transportation Analysis conducted a traffic signal warrant analysis to <br />determine the potential need for installation of a traffic signal at an otherwise unsignalized <br />intersection, including at the intersection of the Driveway 1 (located along Santa Clara <br />Avenue) and Santa Clara Avenue, and the intersection between Tustin Avenue and <br />Driveway 2 (located along Tustin Avenue). Lastly, a Vehicles Miles Traveled (VMT) <br />Screening Evaluation was prepared by Urban Crossroads, dated December 11, 2023 and <br />included as Appendix L to the Draft IS/MND. <br />The Transportation Analysis addressed traffic conditions for multiple different scenarios, <br />including existing (2022) baseline conditions, existing with Project conditions, opening <br />year (2023) cumulative without Project conditions, opening year cumulative with Project <br />conditions, horizon year without Project conditions (2040), and horizon year with Project <br />conditions. A queuing analysis was performed for the left turning movements at the <br />intersection of Tustin Avenue and Santa Clara Avenue to assess vehicle queues along <br />the roadways and prevent dangerous intersections. In summary, the intersection left <br />turning movements currently experience and are anticipated to experience acceptable <br />queuing during the peak hours based on the 95th percentile peak hour traffic flows for <br />
