Responses to <br />Environmental Checklist <br />For CEQA Compliance <br />XV. Transportation/Traffic <br />A. Cause an increase in traffic, which is substantial in relation to the existing traffic load and <br />capacity of the street system? <br />B. Exceed, either individually or cumulatively, a level of service standard established by the <br />county congestion management agency for designated roads or highways? <br />Less than Significant Impact <br />The City's Public Works Agency, Traffic and Transportation Engineering Section have reviewed this <br />project for its potential traffic impacts. Based on their review, the implementation of the proposed project <br />would not significantly increase the number of vehicle trips in the project area. Based on a review of trip <br />generation factors, the proposed expansion project will generate a total of 280 daily vehicle trips entering <br />and exiting the site on Saturday. The SEYO practice activities are once every 2 hours for 6 sessions <br />starting at 8AM and ending at 6PM. Participants are expected to be around 48 participants per session. <br />Further, funeral and wedding ceremonies are expected every 2 to 3 months and attendants are expected <br />to be a maximum of 250 to 300 attendees (150 cars). Traffic congestion is more likely to occur if a <br />combination of SEYO practices, a wedding and/or a funeral service all take place on the same Saturday. <br />As a result, implementation of the proposed project is not expected to change the level of service at any <br />roadway segment or intersection within the project area. To further reduce potential traffic impacts, the <br />following mitigation measures shall be implemented as part of the proposed project: <br />TR-1 The Applicant shall restripe the median on Fairview Street per city approved plans to <br />relieve traffic congestions and prevent left turn conflicts. The applicant shall provide the <br />requested striping subject to the City of Santa Ana Public Works Agency staff review and <br />approval. <br />TR-2 The Applicant shall provide a parking attendant during multi-event conditions and/or <br />special events to assist in circulating traffic in and out of the impacted driveways. <br />C. Result in a change in air traffic patterns, including either an increase in traffic levels or a <br />change in location that results in substantial safety risks? <br />No Impact <br />There are no public or private airports in the City of Santa Ana; however, John Wayne International <br />Airport is located one-mile southwest of city limits. The proposed project is not located within atwo-mile <br />radius of any airport or airstrips and does not include any structures of substantial height which might <br />interfere with an existing airspace or flight pattern. The maximum height of the proposed building is 31 <br />feet. No impact would occur. <br />D. Substantially increase hazards due to a design feature (e.g., sharp curves or dangerous <br />intersections) or incompatible uses (e.g., farm equipment)? <br />No Impact <br />Implementation of the proposed project would not require any roadway or intersection improvements that <br />would pose safety hazards to pedestrians or motorist in the project area. <br />E.
