City of Santa Ana Environmental Checklist evaluates operating conditions with the project in the near-term (2014), and the long-term (2035). Year 2014 and 2035 traffic impacts are discussed in the cumulative impact analysis in Section XVIL "Mandatory Findings of Significance" and assume annual growth rate factors in the near-term and forecasted traffic conditions firom the Orange County Transportation Analysis Model (OCTAM) in the long-term. A description of impacts related to project construction, operation, and parking is provided below. Construction Impacts Construction activities are expected to occur over a period of 19 months, and are expected to generate a short-term, temporaty increase in construction related traffic. While specific construction-related traffic impacts are not quantified for the proposed project, potential morning and afternoon traffic delays related to construction vehicles and could create a temporary/sbort- te•m impact on roadways adjacent to the project site, As such, implementation of a construction management plan as described in Mitigation Measure TR-1 would reduce short-term construction traffic impacts to a less-than-significant level. Mitigation Measure TR-1: Prior to issuance of construction permits, the Project Applicant will develop a Construction Management Plan to be approved by the City of Santa Ana Traffic Engineering Division that will include the following measures: • Designate traffic control for any street closure, detour, or other disruption to traffic circulation. Identify the routes that construction vehicles will utilize for the delivery of construction materials (i.e., lumber, tiles, piping, windows), site access, traffic controls and detours, and proposed construction phasing plan for the project. • Specify the hours during which transport activities can occur and methods to mitigate construction-related impacts on adjacent streets. • Require the contractor to keep all haul routes clean and free of debris including, but not limited to, gravel and dirt as a result of its operations. The applicant will clean adjacent streets, as directed by the City Traffic Engineering Division, of any material which may have been spilled, tracked, or blown onto adjacent streets or areas. • Allow hauling or transport of oversize loads between the homy of 9:00 a.m. and 3:00 p.m., only, Monday through Friday, unless approved otherwise by the City Traffic Engineering Division. No hauling or transport will be allowed during nighttime hours, weekends, or federal holidays. Operational Impacts The TIA includes an evaluation of operational impacts that compares the project-related traffic to existing baseline conditions in August 2012. The Sunday peak hour rate was used to analyze peak hour with the largest potential impact on the surrounding road network, given the nature of the proposed project. The Bat Nita Mediation Center currently exists and is operational, so trip generation estimates have been determined based on the net increase in trip generation to the proposed mediation center. Proposed project trip generation was estimated using ITE Land Use 560: Church trip rates, which provides a generation factor of 36.63 trips per 1,000 square feet. As shown in Table 3-19 below, operation of the proposed project would generate approximately 473 net daily trips, with 151(75 inbound, 75 outbound) occurring during peak hour.
