The traffic distribution patterns for the proposed project related trips traveling to and from the project site have been identified based on the site's proximity to the existing roadways, existing traffic Flow patterns, ingress /egress of the project site and adjacent area, and existing and future turn restrictions. The project trip distribution methodology is provided on page 20 of the TIA (Appendix D). The analysis below provides current operating conditions for intersections within the vicinity of the proposed projectand includes a projection of their operating conditions for each phase. Intersections The TIA analyzes six study area intersections located within the City of Santa Ana. The study area intersections analyzed in the TIA are shown on Figure 3 -2. The City maintains an acceptable level of service (LOS) standard of D or better for signalized intersections. While the City of Santa Ana also permits LOS E or better for intersections within "major development areas,' the proposed project is not located within a "major development area" and project area intersection and roadways must maintain an LOS D or better to comply with the City of Santa Ana General Plan, Circulation Element Measure M. The City of Santa Ana does not maintain standards for unsignalized intersection operations; however, acceptable conditions, per the HCM Unsignalized methodology, include LOS C or better. Existing intersection operations were determined by using the Intersection Capacity Utilization (ICU) methodology for signalized intersections. As shown in Table 3 -20, existing signalized intersection operations within the study area operate at LOS B of- better during the peak hour. Therefore, all six study area intersections currently operate at an acceptable level of service during the peak hour. Table 3.20.
