As presented in Table A, the first <br />column (1) lists the total intersection peak hour traffic for existing conditions. The <br />second column (2) presents Year 2045 Buildout Traffic, while the third column (3) <br />presents Year 2045 Buildout Plus Project Phases 1, 2 and 3 traffic. The Project- <br />related added traffic volumes during AM peak hour and PM peak hour are presented <br />in the fourth column (4). The fifth column (5) represents what percentage of total <br />added intersection peak hour traffic is Project-related traffic. <br />Review of Table A shows that the proposed Project fair-share cost responsibility at <br />the Bear Street / SR-73 NB Ramps intersection totals 6.31%. <br />The City of Santa Ana is the lead agency in the review and approval of the proposed <br />Related Bristol Specific Plan project. <br />  <br />  <br />City Council 22 – 602 9/17/2024
