system service within the Transit Zoning Code (SD 84A and SD 84B) area. These measures may include, but are not limited to, the following: o Adding bus stops to the Transit Zoning Code (SD 84A and SD 84B) area along existing roadways o Changing bus service headways to respond to increased demand o Changing bus service destinations to respond to changing demand o Adding local shuttle service for employees and patrons of the Transit Zoning Code (SD 84A and SD 84B) area o The details of bus service improvements shall be determined in coordination with OCTA. The following recommendations would help encourage public transit patronage for project -related trips: o Bus Stop Locations —Relocation of existing bus stops and the provision of additional bus stops should be considered to accommodate transit users at convenient locations. o Days of Operation —The City should work with OCTA to consider changes to route times to serve nighttime and weekend project visitors and employees. o Headway —The City should work w would be appropriate to reduce them Code (SD 84A and SD 84B) area. MM4.11-3 The City of Santa Ana Public Works Agency shall monitor the traffic signals within the Transit Zoning Code study area once every five years to ensure that traffic signal timing is optimized. (Impact 4.11-8) MM4.11-4 The City of Santa Ana shall institute a program for systematic mitigation of impacts as development proceeds within the Transit Zoning Code to ensure mitigation of the individual improvements. The program shall prescribe the method of participation in the mitigation program by individual projects and guide the timely implementation of the mitigation measures. The program shall include the following elements: A funding and improvement program should be established to identify financial resources adequate to construct all identified mitigation measures in a timely basis. All properties that redevelop within the Transit Zoning Code should participate in the program on a fair share per new development trip basis. The fair share should be based upon the total cost of all identified mitigation measures, divided by the peak hour trip generation increase forecast. This rate per peak hour trip should be imposed upon the incremental traffic growth for any new development within the Transitioning Code. The program should raise funds from full development of the Transit Zoning Code to fund all identified mitigation measures. The program should monitor phasing development of the Transit Zoning Code and defer or eliminate improvements if the densities permitted in the Transit Zoning Code are not occurring. Program phasing should be monitored through preparation of specific project traffic impact studies for any project that is expected to include more than 100 dwelling units or 100,000 sf of non-residential development. Traffic impact studies should use traffic generation rates that are deemed to be most appropriate for the actual development proposed. Properties within Santa Ana and within one-half mile of the Transit Zoning Code that redevelop to result in higher traffic generation should also participate in the program to insure equity.
