City of Santa Ana <br />Environmental Checklist <br />movements during peak hour, on site traffic controls are adequate. On site circulation through the <br />parking lot are provided via both directions, while the underground parking structure is <br />counterclockwise, and does not pose any constraints. All municipal code is met, in-site circulation <br />and traffic control devices are adequate, and drive way spacing is an adequate distance with no <br />obstructions to sight distance for vehicles entering and exiting the site, and therefor impacts will be <br />less than significant and no mitigation measures are be required. <br />e. Result in inadequate emergency access? <br />Less-than-Significant Impact. Emergency access to the site would be from the proposed access <br />points along Sullivan Street at the project driveways. Emergency access to and within the project <br />site will be adequate for both regional and local emergency requirements. The project driveways are <br />28 feet wide and the internal aisles are 19.25 feet wide, which allows emergency vehicles to enter <br />the project site and travel through the site with a high degree of accessibility. Because emergency <br />vehicles can easily access and travel within the site, impacts related to emergency access on the <br />project site would be less than significant, <br />f. Conflict with adopted policies, plans, or programs regarding public transit, bicycle, or <br />pedestrian facilities, at* otherwise decrease the performance orsafety of such facilities? <br />No Impact. The OCTA provides transit services and bus stops within the immediate vicinity of the <br />project site. OCTA bus routes 47, 64, 66, and 145 are all between 0.25 and 0.5 miles from the project <br />site. The proximity of the project site to five bus stops within 0.25and 0.5 miles would allow <br />students, residents, and employees convenient access to alternative transportation. The OCTA also <br />offers the OCTA ACCESS program and other training programs to assist eligible transit users in <br />learning how to navigate the standard transit system. The proposed project would not alter or <br />conflict with existing bus stops and schedules, and impacts related to OCTA transit services would <br />not occur. <br />The nearest bicycle facilities are Class I bike paths along the Santa Ana River trail (approximately 0.5 <br />miles east of the project site) and a Class 11 bike path exists along McFadden Avenue (800 feet south <br />of the project site). The proposed project will not include any bicycle improvements within the <br />study area would not involve any offsite improvements or result in any identified offsite impacts on <br />bicycle or pedestrian routes. Therefore, no conflicts will occur to any bicycle facilities. Lastly, <br />existing sidewalks would be maintained along Sullivan Street upon implementation of the proposed <br />project. Therefore, the proposed project would not conflict adopted policies, plans, or programs <br />regarding public transit, bicycle, or pedestrian facilities and would not decrease the performance of- <br />safety of any facilities. <br />The Bat Nha Buddhist Meditation Center 3 a8 tune 2013 <br />Initial Study/Mitigated Negative Declaration ICF 00215.12 <br />31C-143
