The Project proposes a mixed-use infill development located in a TPA on an urban and developed site in the City of Santa Ana. As discussed in Section 5.13, Transportation, the City of Santa Ana Traffic Impact Study Guidelines Appendix A identifies that the Project site is located within a TPA. The Project area is served by six OCTA routes: Routes 55, 57, 76, 86, 150, and 553. Specifically, OCTA Route 57 serves as a high-quality bus stop with headways of 15 minutes or less during weekday peak commute hours. OCTA Bus Route 553 connects to the Anaheim Regional Transportation Intermodal Center and OCTA Bus Route 86 connects to the Irvine Train Station. In addition, as shown on Figure 5.13-3, SCAG identifies that the Project site is within a High Quality Transit Area. As such, the proposed Project is located on an infill site within a TPA as defined under Public Resources Code Section 21099. Thus, the proposed Project’s parking impacts are not considered significant on the environment pursuant to Public Resources Code Section 21099.
