TASK 3.2 EVALUATE CRITERIA POLLUTANT EMISSIONS SRA will estimate the emissions associated with the proposed project. The analysis will address potential increases in area sources (energy use, landscaping, etc.) and vehicle emissions. In addition, SRA will address potential emissions associated with cooking and vehicle idling in the drive- through. Because of the size of the project, SRA assumes that no CO "hot spots" analysis will be required. In the event that the traffic analysis indicates a degradation in Level of Service due to project - related traffic, the analysis for the CO "hot spots" will be considered additional services. SRA will also conduct a Localized Significance Analysis based on on -site emissions associated with vehicle idling and McDonald's operations. TASK 3.3 GLOBAL CLIMATE CHANGE EVALUATION To address the requirements of the recently adopted CEQA guidelines, SRA will conduct a greenhouse gas analysis in accordance with CEQA requirements and SCAQMD draft guidance. The analysis will include quantification of emissions of greenhouse gases, a discussion of the consistency of the project with the applicable Climate Action Plan(s), and a discussion of the project's consistency with the goals of AB 32. Because of the size of the project, SRA anticipates that the analysis will demonstrate that emissions would not result in a significant impact on global climate. If required, SRA assumes that McDonald's will provide information on projected energy and water use for the project that will serve as the basis for the evaluation, along with proposed measures to reduce greenhouse gas emissions such as energy efficiency measures and water conservation measures. TASK 3.4 PREPARE TECHNICAL REPORT SRA will prepare an Air Quality Technical Report and Global Climate Change Report that summarize the analysis conducted for Tasks 3.1 through 3.3. The reports will summarize the results of the analyses. SRA assumes we will address one round of comments in this task. TASK 4 -- TRAFFIC IMPACT STUDY A traffic impact study will be prepared in accordance with the traffic study requirements of the City of Santa Ana. The traffic study will address the project's traffic - related impacts on the street system surrounding the project site. The study will also provide an evaluation of site access, on- site circulation, and drive - through queuing. The following tasks are envisioned. • Conduct a site visit to observe existing traffic conditions on the streets surrounding the project site and at the study intersection. • Obtain a copy of the project site plan for the proposed project, including building square footages and uses, site layout, site driveways, parking supply, and any other site features that will affect the traffic analysis.
