Environmental Consulting Services (200 East First American Way) City of Santa Ana TIA Task G: Site Access and Circulation Review ¦ Review the proposed site plan and provide recommendations to address City concerns regarding site access and circulation. Prepare AM and PM peak hour LOS calculations at the project driveways. ¦ Evaluate and comment on the proposed access and internal circulation scheme of the proposed project, with a focus on on-site circulation layout and design, ingress and egress safety opportunities and constraints, adequate sight distances at project driveways, pedestrian circulation, locations of proposed driveways with respect to existing (conflicting) driveways, striping configurations, and median modifications, if any. TIA Task 7: Alternative Projects Trip Generation Comparison ¦ Prepare a qualitative trip generation comparison between the proposed project and up to four (4) project alternatives. TIA Task 8: Construction Traffic Assessment ¦ Prepare a qualitative construction traffic assessment for the proposed project to include a trip generation analysis and a construction traffic management plan. Trip generation forecasts will be developed for the following construction activities: 1) demolition, 2) site preparation, and/or 3) building construction. In order to forecast the potential construction related trips associated with the construction activities at the project site, the hours of operation, duration, number of truck trips and employees at the site will be needed. TIA Task 9: Preparation of the TIA • Prepare a Screencheck TiA that details all of the above-mentioned items including our analysis, findings and conclusions. The Screencheck TIA will be suitably documented with tabular, graphic and appendix material. The report will be submitted for screen-check review by the appropriate members of the project team and the city. If necessary, revise the Screencheck report based on project team and City comments and submit a Draft TIA for inclusion into the Draft EIR. The Draft TIA will be suitably documented with all tabular, graphic and appendix materials. The completed technical report will be provided as an Appendix to the EIR and summarized in the traffic section of the EIR. Air Quality Impact and Greenhouse Gas Analysis An air quality impact and greenhouse gas technical analysis will be prepared consistent with the technical requirements and methodologies outlined in the South Coast Air Quality Management District's (SCAQMD) CEQA Air Quality Handbook (as updated per the revisions posted on the SCAQMD website), Localized Significance Threshold Methodology for CEQA Evaluations, and Particulate Matter (PM) 2.5 Significance Thresholds and Calculation Methodology guidance documents. Climate change/GHG emissions, specific methodologies and thresholds will be developed based on information provided in the California Air Resources Board (CARE) publication Local Government Operations Protocol for the Quantification and Reporting of Greenhouse Gas Emissions Inventories and consultations with City and SCAQMD staff members. The air quality assessment will consist of the following: ¦ Regulatory Setting. The regulatory setting will include pertinent air quality statutes and regulations, including the federal Clean Air Act, California and National Ambient Air Quality Standards, and SCAQMD Air Quality Management Plan (AQMP) consistency. ¦ Existing Air Quality Conditions. The project site is located within the SCAQMD Source Receptor Area No. 17 (Central Orange County), and as such, local air quality will be characterized by ambient air quality data collected at the Anaheim ambient air monitoring station.
