ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT REPORTADDENDUM Bristol Street Widening Phase IIIA— Civic Center Drive to Washington Avenue The proposed Project involves the widening of Bristol Street between Civic Center Drive and Washington Avenue, within a highly urbanized and built out area. The proposed Project is designed to accommodate the existing and future traffic volume and would not create significant numbers of new trips. The roadway segments and intersections within the Project area function at acceptable levels of service and, as such, are not expected to be significantly impacted to an unacceptable level of service by any additional traffic generated from the proposed Project. The proposed widening would not result in additional impact. Impacts would be similar to those identified in the 1990 FEIS/EIR. Mitigation Measures No new additional mitigation measures are required. b.) Displace substantial numbers of existing housing, necessitating the construction of replacement housing elsewhere? A Relocation Impact Study Technical Memorandum was prepared by POWER Engineers, Inc. (2015) to identify potential impacts on residential and non - residential occupants as a result of the proposed Project. The parcels identified for acquisition are defined as distinct locations where residential and non- residential displacement could occur along the Project alignment. A total of 20 parcels (see Table 1) would be fully acquired as a result of the proposed widening of Bristol Street between Civic Center Drive and Washington Avenue (refer to Figure 4 for the locations of affected properties). More specifically, the proposed Project, and its associated right -of -way requirements, would result in the full acquisition by the City of Santa Ana, of 17 single - family residential parcels; two parcels representing commercial /utility uses; and one parcel characterized as office -type use. Parcel 405- 262 -26 is within the project limits; however, this parcel is owned by the City. Based on the Relocation Impact Study Technical Memorandum (POWER Engineers, Inc. 2015), comparable relocation properties appear to be available in the metropolitan Santa Ana area in sufficient quantity, the need to provide replacement housing would not be triggered as a result of implementing the proposed Project. Impacts would be similar to those identified in the 1990 FEIS/EIR. Project - related acquisitions would comply with policies pursuant to the Uniform Relocation Assistance and Real Property Acquisition Policies Act of 1970 as implemented by the City of Santa Ana. Mitigation Measures No new additional mitigation measures are required. c.) Displace substantial numbers of people, necessitating the construction of replacement housing elsewhere? Refer to response 3.13 (b.), above. Prior to displacement, residential and non - residential displacees would be presented with information regarding comparable replacement properties that are available within the last six months for rent, lease, or purchase regardless of race, color, religion, sex or national origin, and would be consistent with the requirements of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1968. Impacts would be similar to those identified in the 1990 FEIS /E[R. Mitigation Measures No new additional mitigation measures are required.
