Responses to Environmental Checklist For CEQA Compliance B. Exceed, either individually or cumulatively, a level of service standard established by the county congestion management agency for designated roads or highways? No Impact The proposed project will not result in an increase in traffic that will affect the level of service standard for Fifth or Fairview Streets, the two primary streets in the immediate vicinity. No impact is anticipated. C. Result in a change in air traffic patterns, including either an increase in traffic levels or a change in location that results in substantial safety risks? No Impact There are no public airports in the City of Santa Ana; however, John Wayne International Airport is located one-mile southwest of city limits. The proposed project is not located within atwo-mile radius of the airport. No impact is anticipated. D. Substantially increase hazards to a design feature No Impact Through the City's development review process, the City's Public Works Agency has determined that implementation of the proposed project would not increase traffic hazards within the project area. E. Result in inadequate emergency access No Impact As part of the City's development review process, the proposed project was reviewed by the Police Department and the Fire Department to ensure adequate emergency access. No adverse emergency access impacts would be associated with the proposed project. F. Result in inadequate parking capacity Less than Significant Impact with mitigation incorporated The City of Santa Ana stipulates that the parking for a development be based on the City's parking code. The off-street parking code establishes stand alone peak parking requirements for various primary uses and assumes that ancillary uses are not parked separately: It is expected that ancillary uses would be occupied at off-peak times or would be in use by those who had also arrived for the main use, which in this case is worship services. Thus, the size of the assembly area for church drives the parking requirement. Templo Calvario's proposed assembly area contains 26,331 square feet of non-fixed seat floor area, which calculates to a total parking requirement of 752 parking spaces. Templo Calvario occupies several buildings within an integrated development site with 303 parking spaces, of which 245 are available for use by all in a shared basis. The other uses on the site operate primarily Monday through Friday, leaving most of the site available for the church parking on the weekends, and more specifically on Sunday when the church conducts its worship services. The resulting shortage of 507 on-site parking spaces could potentially result in inadequate parking supply and could create traffic impacts as vehicles would have to queue on the street waiting for available spaces. To minimize potential traffic impacts related to the shortage of parking spaces, the Planning Division is recommending the following mitigation measures: 75C-105 t2
