DISCUSSION
The Public Works Agency (PWA)'s Engineering Division is responsible for managing the
City's roads and transportation network. Bristol Street is a part of the regionally
significant north -south corridor, which is designated as a major arterial highway in the
City's General Plan Circulation Element. Bristol Street, between Warner Avenue and
Memory Lane, is a long-term improvement project to be completed in several phases as
funding becomes available. The initial phases were completed in 2002, which included
improvements from St. Andrew Place to McFadden Avenue and from Elm Street to
Memory Lane.
Since then, enhancements have been made at key intersections, such as Bristol Street
and Warner Avenue, Bristol Street and 17t" Street, as well as segments between
McFadden Avenue and Civic Center Drive, and from Washington Avenue to 17t" Street.
The current phase will improve Bristol Street from Civic Center Drive to Washington
Avenue (Exhibit 1). These improvements include roadway widening from two to three
lanes in each direction with protected bike lanes, wider sidewalks, parkways, and a
raised landscape median. The project will also include sound walls adjacent to
residential parcels and water main improvements.
Once completed, these improvements will enhance the ride quality and visual
appearance of the Bristol Street corridor. The next phase will address the segment from
Warner Avenue to St. Andrew Place, further continuing the transformation of this
transportation route.
A copy of construction plans, contracts, specifications and all related reference
materials (such as The Greenbook) are available for public review at the City's Public
Works Agency, Central Files office located at City Hall.

Public Outreach and Contractor Participation
To provide an opportunity for local vendors to submit bids, the City notified a total of 101
regional vendors via PlanetBids, many of which are Santa Ana based. A total of five
bids were received. No bids were received from a Santa Ana contractor.
As legally required, a Notice Inviting Bids was advertised in the Orange County Register
newspaper on June 28 and July 19, 2024. The project was also advertised in
PlanetBids from June 25 through July 24, 2024. Bids were received electronically via
PlanetBids on July 24, 2024.
A bid protest was filed by Nationwide Contracting Services, Inc. during the protest
period against Los Angeles Engineering, Inc. Following a thorough review, the City
found the protest invalid. Consequently, the City recommends awarding the project to
Los Angeles Engineering, Inc., as the lowest responsive bidder.

A total of five bids were received and all were deemed responsive. Los Angeles
Engineering, Inc. submitted the lowest responsive base bid in the amount of
$10,579,350 (Exhibit 2). As specified in the bid documents, the lowest bid shall be
determined on the basis of the Base Bid. Based on the bid analysis and a contractor's
reference check, staff recommends awarding the construction contract with the
alternate bid to Los Angeles Engineering, Inc. (Exhibit 3).
Los Angeles Engineering, Inc. has not performed work as a prime contractor in the City
of Santa Ana within the last five years. However, a reference check was made with
other Public Agencies and good reviews were received regarding the quality of work
performed by the contractor on the previous projects.

Proiect Delive
To deliver a complete project, in addition to the construction contract, the estimated total
project delivery cost includes a budget allocation for construction administration,
inspection, and testing. Construction administration and inspection may be performed
by either staff or consultants and includes construction management, inspection of the
contractor's work to ensure contract compliance, workmanship and quality, materials
testing, and implementation of the labor requirements.
Any of the allocated construction administration funds not spent are considered project
savings and are returned to the respective fund balance upon close out of the project.
In addition to the Construction Contract Bid Amount, staff requests that City Council
allocate and authorize a project contingency budget equal to 10% of the Contract Bid
Amount. The recommended contingency budget will allow staff to execute contract
change orders in the event unexpected conditions arise or if additional work is required
to effectively deliver the project.
As indicated in the Cost Analysis (Exhibit 4) and as summarized in the table below, the
estimated total construction delivery cost of the project is $13,224,187.

ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT
In 1990, the City Council approved the Bristol Street Final Environmental Impact
Statement/Environmental Impact Report (FEIS/EIR No. 89-01). Due to minor design
modifications an Addendum to the FEIS/EIR was prepared and adopted by City Council
on June 3, 2014, pursuant to the California Environmental Act (Exhibit 5).
FISCAL IMPACT
As indicated in the Cost Analysis, the estimated total construction delivery cost of the
project (13-6792) is $13,224,187. All funds are available for expenditure in Fiscal Year
2024-25 Capital Improvement Program (Exhibit 6). Any remaining balances not
expended at the end of the fiscal year will be carried forward into FY 2025-26. A
proposed carryover of unspent funds will be presented to the City Council for the FY
2025-26 portion of this contract.

The proposed contract authorizes staff a maximum of 10% in contingencies for
construction contract change orders. Staff will return to City Council for authorization
and appropriation of additional contingency if necessary.
With the approval of the requested appropriation adjustment, a portion of the
accumulated fund balance will be appropriated for spending in the Select Street
Construction, Improvements Other Than Building Account (No. 05917661-66220),
Revenue appropriated to this account is derived from the sale of land acquired from
right-of-way acquisitions per procedures set by OCTA Bristol Corridor Improvement.
The sale of land portion of the fund balance is estimated to be $6,228,834 for Fiscal
Year 2024-25, which is sufficient to allow for the recommended appropriation.
Additionally, a portion of the accumulated fund balance will be appropriated for
spending in the New Transportation System Improvement Area F, Improvements Other
Than Building Account (No. 03517660-66220). The spendable portion of the fund
balance is estimated to be $1,226,165 for Fiscal Year 2024-2025, which is sufficient to
allow for the recommended appropriation of $1,200,000.
With the approval of the requested appropriation adjustment, $656,000 in Federal
Transportation Improvement Program (FTIP) DEMO grant funds will be recognized in
the Select Street Construction, Federal Grant -Indirect revenue account (05917002-
52001) and appropriated for spending in the Select Street Construction, Improvements
Other Than Building Account (No. 05917660-66220). (Exhibit 7)

ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT REPORT ADDENDUM
Bristol Street Widening Phase I11A — Civic Center Drive to Washington Avenue
1.0 INTRODUCTION
This Addendum has been prepared in accordance with the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA),
as amended, to evaluate the potential environmental impacts of the proposed changes to the widening of
Bristol Street, from Warner Avenue to Memory Lane as proposed in the Project Final Environmental
Impact Statement I Environmental Impact Report (FEISIEIR) approved in 1990 (FHWA-CA-EI S - 8 9-0 1 -
F; SCH No. 87071509).
This Addendum focuses on the segment of Bristol Street between Civic Center Drive to Washington
Avenue (Phase IIIA, or Project) and .is limited to the proposed improvements to this segment. This
Addendum provides an assessment of potential environmental impacts associated with minor design
modifications and the issue of climate change which was not addressed in the previously prepared and
certified FEISIEIR.
Design modifications to the Project, since approval of the 1990 FEISIEIR, that are addressed in this
Addendum include the following:
6 The 1990 FEISIEIR, using decommissioned noise methodology, recommended noise barriers
(soundwalls) at all easterly parcel boundaries currently fronting the east side of Bristol Street
between Civic Center Drive and Washington Avenue. However, using current noise modeling
methodology (RBF Consulting 2014), noise abatement in the form of noise barriers is not
required for the Phase IIIA Project.
• For purposes of aesthetic treatment and enhancement, the proposed Project would install an
approximately 8-foot high block wall at approximately the same location where soundwalls were
previously recommended (as addressed in the 1990 FEISIEIR).
• The proposed Project increases the total right-of-way width from 120 feet to 128 feet. The
proposed Project right-of-way cross-section would maintain a curb -to -curb width of 100 feet,
would accommodate a 7-foot wide bike lane on each side of the roadway, and would not affect
the number or width of vehicular travel lanes as compared to the right-of-way cross-section
addressed in the 1990 FEISIEIR. However, the proposed Project right-of-way cross section, as
compared to the right-of-way cross section addressed in the 1990 FEISIEIR, would reduce the
width of the sidewalks from 10 to 8 feet and also accommodate a 6-foot wide parkway on each
side of Bristol Street to separate pedestrian and vehicular travel; a parkway was not included as
part of the roadway cross section addressed in the 1990 FEISIEIR. Acquisition of property
resulting from the proposed Project right-of-way is accounted for in this analysis.
• Addition of a westbound right -turn lane on Washington Avenue at Bristol Street.
• Addition of a cul-de-sac at 9th Street on the west side of Bristol Street.
• Full and partial acquisition on both sides of Bristol Street between Civic Center Drive and
Washington Avenue.
• Changes in land use as part of the Bristol Specific Plan Addendum, as follows:
o Assessor Parcel Numbers (AP -Ns) 405-262-21, -22, -23, -24, -25, -26, -27, -28, -29, -30, -
31, -32, and -33; and 405-274-09, -10, -11, -12, and -13) Land use change from Park to
Park with Commercial option,
Additionally, the topic of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions was not addressed in the previously approved
1990 FEISIEIR as this topic was not a subject matter that required evaluation pursuant to CEQA at that
time. As such, this Addendum analyzes the effects of GHG emissions associated with construction and
operation of the proposed Project.

ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT REPORTADDFNDUM
Bristol Street Widening Phase ILIA — Civio Center Drive to Washington Avenue
This Addendum to the previously certified 1990 FEIS/EIR has been prepared because Project -related
modifications to the Bristol Street alignment do not trigger the need for further environmental analysis in
a Subsequent or Supplemental EIR under the requirements CEQA (refer to CEQA Guidelines Sections
15162 and 15163, respectively).
1.1 Purpose of an Addendum
Under CEQA, when an EIR has been certified for a project, no Subsequent EIR may be required for that
project unless the lead agency determines, based upon substantial evidence, that one or more specified
circumstances has occurred. Only if one or more of the following circumstances arises is a Subsequent
EIR required, pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Section 15162:
I. (1) Substantial changes are proposed in the project which will require major
revision of the previous EIR due to the involvement of new significant
environmental effects or a substantial increase in the severity of previously
identified significant effects;
2. (2) Substantial changes occur with respect to the circumstances under which the
project is undertaken which will require major revision of the previous EIR due
to the involvement of new significant environmental increase in the severity of
previously identified significant effects; or
3. (3) New information of substantial importance, which was not known and could
not have been known with the exercise of reasonable diligence at the time the
previous EIR was certified as complete, shows any of the following:
(A) The project will have one or more significant effects not discussed in the
previous EIR;
(B) Significant effects previously examined will be substantially more severe
than shown in the previous EIR;
(C) Mitigation measures or alternatives previously found not to be feasible
would in fact be feasible, and would substantially reduce one or more
significant effects of the project, but the project proponents decline to
adopt the mitigation measure or alternative; or
(D) Mitigation measures or alternatives which are considerably different from
those analyzed in the previous EIR would substantially reduce one or more
significant effects on the environment, but the project proponents decline
to adopt the mitigation measure or alternative. (CEQA Guidelines Section
15162[a])
A Supplement to an EIR (or Supplemental EIR), which is narrower in scope than a Subsequent EIR, may
be prepared if any of the above criteria apply, but "[o]nly minor changes or additions would be necessary
to make the previous EIR adequately apply to the project in the changed situation" (CEQA Guidelines
Section 15163[a][2]). In the absence of the need to prepare either a Subsequent or Supplemental EIR, an
Addendum may be prepared. More specifically, CEQA Guidelines Section 15164 states:
(a) The lead agency or a responsible agency shall prepare an addendum to a previously
certified EIR if some changes or additions are necessary but none of the conditions
described in Section 15162 calling for preparation of a subsequent EIR have
occurred.
(b) An addendum to an adopted negative declaration may be prepared if only minor
technical changes or additions are necessary or none of the conditions described in
Section 15162 calling for the preparation of a subsequent EIR or negative
declaration have occurred.

ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT REPORT ADDENDUM
Bristol Street Widening Phase ILIA — Civic Center Drive to Washington Avenue
(c) An addendum need not be circulated for public review but can be included in or
attached to the final FIR or adopted negative declaration.
(d) The decision making body shall consider the addendum with the final FIR or
adopted negative declaration prior to malting a decision on the project.
(e) A brief explanation of the decision not to prepare a subsequent EIR pursuant to Section 15162
should be included in an addendum to an EIR, the lead agency's findings on the project, or elsewhere in
the record. The explanation must be supported by substantial evidence.
This Addendum to the previously certified FEISIEIR for the approved Project has been prepared because
the evaluation of the proposed modifications does not result in any of the circumstances requiring a
Subsequent or Supplemental EISIEIR. Although the proposed modifications would result in development
that differs from that in the 1990 FEIS/EIR, those modifications do not trigger the need for preparation of
a Subsequent or Supplemental EIR under the criteria listed in CEQA Guidelines Sections 15162 and
15163, respectively. Sections 2.0 and 3.0 of this Addendum demonstrate that no substantial changes are
proposed in the approved Project or have occurred in the area of the Bristol Street Widening Phase IIIA
Project that will require major revisions to the previously certified 1990 FEIS/EIR due to the involvement
of new significant environmental effects or a substantial increase in the severity of previously identified
significant effects. Specifically, the proposed modifications, as compared to the 1990 FEISIEIR, do not
result in new or substantially greater significant impacts because the scale and nature of the proposed
modifications are sufficiently similar to that analyzed in the 1990 FFISIFIR such that the impacts of the
proposed modifications are within the levels and types of environmental impacts disclosed in the 1990
FEIS/EIR.
In addition, no substantial changes in circumstances under Section 15162(a)(2) have occurred since the
certification of the 1990 FEIS/EIR for the approved Project that would result in new significant impacts
or substantially increase the severity of significant impacts previously identified, since the background
environmental conditions have not significantly changed since that time. The City of Santa Ana has
received no information indicating there has been a substantial change in any circumstances that would
result in a new or substantially greater significant impact.
Furthermore, no new information, which was not known and could not have been known at the time of
the 1990 FEISIEIR preparation, has been revealed that shows new or substantially greater significant
impacts would result (see CEQA Guidelines Section 15162(a)(3)). In addition, there are no new or
different mitigation measures or alternatives that would substantially reduce one or snore significant
impacts of the approved Project but that are not adopted. The proposed modifications do not identify or
require adoption of any further mitigation measures or alternatives beyond those provided in the certified
1990 FEIS/EIR for the approved Project, since additional mitigation measures are either not necessary or
not feasible, and the alternatives analyzed in the 1990 FEISIEIR represent a reasonable range as required
pursuant to CEQA [see CEQA Guidelines Section 15162(a)(3)].
This Addendum relies on the certified 1990 FEISIEIR and the related administrative record, in addition to
the additional documentation included to support the Addendum, including the appendices. The
Addendum is to be included or attached to the 1990 FEIS/EIR and is not to be considered as an
independent or separate document.
As this Addendum does not identify new or substantially greater significant impacts, circulation for
public review and comment is not necessary pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Section 15164(c). However,
the City Council will consider and adopt or reject this Addendum at a public meeting (refer to CEQA
Guidelines Section 15164(d)). The findings of the City Council in its resolution of adoption of this
Addendum, if adopted, will reflect this Addendum which provides the basis and substantial evidence for

1.3 Project Background
1.3.1 Approved 1990 Final EIR/EIS
The City of Santa Ana General Plan designates Bristol Street as a Major Arterial IIighway traveling in a
north -south direction. As a result of significant growth and traffic congestion on Bristol Street, the City of
Santa Ana, in the late 1980s, proposed to widen Bristol Street from a four -lane roadway to a six -lane
arterial in accordance with adopted County of Orange and City of Santa Ana standards for a Major
Arterial Highway. A joint EIS/EIR was prepared and approved by the City of Santa Ana and the
California Department of Transportation (Caltrans) for the widening of Bristol Street in 1990. The 1990
Project entailed a 3.9-mile segment of Bristol Street from Warner Avenue to Memory Lane. Due to
significant costs associated with construction and availability of funding, the street widening Project was
divided into three phases; Phase I, from Warner Avenue north to First Street; Phase 11, consisting of the
widening and reconstruction of the bridge which crosses Santiago Creek (northerly limits of the street
widening Project); and Phase III, between First Street and Memory Lane. Subsequently, and also due to
funding programming and availability, the Phase III segment has been further divided into two separate
segments: Phase IIIA, Civic Center Drive to Washington Avenue (the subject of this Addendum),; and
Phase IIIB Washington Avenue to 171h Street. The Bristol Street widening segments, as described above,
operate independently; that is, operation of one segment is not dependent on another.
The 1990 FEIS/EIR (SCH No. 87071509) was approved on November 19, 1990. The 1990 FEIS/EIR and
associated technical studies, incorporated herein by reference, documented the environmental impacts of
widening Bristol Street from Warner Avenue to Memory Lane in the City of Santa Ana. As stated in the
1990 FEISIEIR, the purpose and goals of the Bristol Street Widening Project were to:
1. Provide sufficient roadway capacity to accommodate current and future traffic demand.
2. Improve the performance and safety of the roadway for the benefit of the motoring
public.
3. To reduce current and projected future delays experienced at major intersections and to
design intersections to function at acceptable Levels of Service (LOS).
4. To design the roadway in manner conducive to the provision of public transportation,
namely bus service provided by the Orange County Transit District (OCTD).
1.3.2 Adopted Transportation Improvement Program
The Approved Project is fully funded and included as project number ORA125 in the regional emissions
analysis conducted by Southern California Association of Governments (SCAG) for the conforming 2013
Federal Transportation Improvement Program (FTIP) adopted by SCAG on September 19, 2012 and
approved by FHWA on December 14, 2012. As provided in the FTIP, the Approved Project description
reads as follows:
BRISTOL ST (WARNER TO MEMORY LANE) WIDEN FROM 4 TO 6 LANES (IMPV AT
BRISTOL/WARNER (ADD NBIEBISB THRU LNS, WB RT TRN LN) AND BRISTOL/FIRST
(ADD NBISB THRULNS SB LFTIR TITRN L NS
The Phase IIIA project is a component of the Approved Project, The Phase IIIA Project's design concept
and scope have not changed significantly from what was analyzed in the RTIP and FTIP. This analysis
found that the plan and, therefore, the individual projects contained in the plan, are conforming projects,
and would have air quality impacts consistent with those identified in the state implementation plans
(SIPS) for achieving the National Ambient Air Quality Standards (NAAQS). FHWA determined the RTIP
to conform to the SIP.

ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT REPORT ADDENDUM
Bristol Street Widening Phase ILIA — Civic Center Drive to Washington Avenue
The Phase IIIA Project's open to the public year is consistent with (within the same regional emission
analysis period as) the construction completion date identified in the FTIP and/or RTP. The FTIP gives
priority to eligible Transportation Control Measures (TCMs) identified in the SIP and provides sufficient
funds to provide for their implementation. FHWA determined the TIP to conform to the SIP on December
2010,
The Phase IIIA Project is also included in the 2013 TIP adopted by SCAG on September 6, 2012 and
approved by FHWA on December 14, 2012.
1.4 Project Description
1.4.1 Bristol Street Widening Phase 111A Project Area
Phase IIIA of the Bristol Street Widening Project involves the widening of Bristol Street between Civic
Center Drive and Washington Avenue from four lanes to six lanes with a 128-foot wide right-of-way
cross section including a 14-foot wide raised landscaped median; three 12-foot wide through travel lanes
in each direction; a 7-foot wide Class II bike lane on each side of the roadway; a 6-foot wide parkway;
and 8-foot wide sidewalks with curb ramps for wheelchair access (pursuant to American with Disabilities
Act of 1990 [ADA] requirements) on both sides of the roadway. As Bristol Street approaches the
intersections, the landscaped center median would taper to accommodate right -turn pockets and left -turn
lanes in each direction. The proposed. Project also includes the addition of a westbound right -turn lane on
Washington Avenue at Bristol Street and removal of the eastbound through movement on Washington
Avenue at Bristol Street to match the existing condition. Furthermore, a cul-de-sac would be constructed
at 9th Street on the west side of Bristol Street.
Street signs and utilities including electric power lines, telephone poles, and street lighting would be
relocated to new locations within the Project area along Bristol Street. Street furniture, including benches
and bus shelters, would be provided at bus stop locations. Affected trees would be replanted.
During the one-year construction period (anticipated to be mid-2015 to mid-2016), one lane in each
direction would remain open and existing driveway accesses along Bristol Street would be retained at all
times. The maximum excavation depth would be three feet for roadway excavation, and approximately 10
feet for utility/drainage excavation.
1.4.2 Property Acquisition
As listed in Table 1, a total of 20 properties (parcels) 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. The 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. The increase in right-of-way width
associated with the proposed Project from 120 feet, as addressed in the 1990 FEIS/EIR, to 128 feet would
not result in a difference in the number of properties that would be acquired as a result of the proposed
improvements.

9.4.3 Changes as Compared to the Approved Project
It should be noted that Project phasing has been revised from the original three phases identified in the
1990 FEIS/EIR. Construction phasing of the entire Project segment has been further subdivided as
follows:
• St. Andrew Place to McFadden Avenue (Constructed in 2002)
• Elm Street to Memory Lane (Constructed in 2003)
• Pine Street to 3rd Street (Constructed in 2009)
• Phase I: McFadden Avenue to Pine Street (Constructed in 2011)1
• Phase II: 3rd Street to Civic Center Drive (Constructed in 2014)
• Phase IIIA: Civic Center Drive to Washington Avenue
• Phase IIIB: Washington Avenue to 17d' Street
• Phase IV: Warner Avenue to St. Andrew Place
• Phase V: 171h Street to Elm Street
The proposed street widening design configuration for the current Phase IIIA segment (proposed Project
addressed herein) differs from the original configuration of the 1990 FEIS/EIR, as follows:
• The 1990 FEIS/EIR, using decommissioned noise methodology, recommended noise barriers
(soundwalls) at all easterly parcel boundaries currently fronting the east side of Bristol Street
between Civic Center Drive and Washington Avenue. However, using current noise modeling
methodology (RBF Consulting 2014), noise abatement in the form of noise barriers is not
required for the Phase IIIA Project.
• For purposes of aesthetic treatment and enhancement, the proposed Project would install an
approximately 8-foot high block wall at approximately the same location where soundwalls were
previously recommended (as addressed in the 1990 FEIS/EIR).
• The proposed Project increases the total right-of-way width from 120 feet to 128 feet. The
proposed Project right-of-way cross-section would maintain a curb -to -curb width of 100 feet,
would accommodate a 7-foot wide bike lane on each side of the roadway, and would not affect
the number or width of vehicular travel lanes as compared to the right-of-way cross-section
addressed in the 1990 FEISIEIR. However, the proposed Project right-of-way cross section, as
compared to the right-of-way cross section addressed in the 1990 FEISIEIR, would reduce the
width of the sidewalks from 10 to 8 feet and also accommodate a 6-foot wide parkway on each
side of Bristol Street to separate pedestrian and vehicular travel; a parkway was not included as
part of the roadway cross section addressed in the 1990 FEISIEIR. Acquisition of property
resulting from the proposed Project right-of-way is accounted for in this analysis.
• Addition of a westbound right -turn lane on Washington Avenue at Bristol Street.
• Removal of eastbound through movement on Washington Avenue at Bristol Street to match
existing condition.
• Addition of a cul-de-sac at 9th Street on the west side of Bristol Street.
• Full and partial acquisition on both sides of Bristol Street between Civic Center Drive and
Washington Avenue.
• Changes in land use as part of the Bristol Specific Plan Addendum, as follows:
'- Phase numbers were assigned to the Bristol Street Widening Project subsequent to cancelation of the CcnterLine Light Roil
Transit Project and associated reallocation of funding from that canceled project to the Bristol Street Widening Project,

An assessment of construction and Project related GIIG emissions was also not addressed in the 1990
FEIS/EIR, and as a result is addressed in this Addendum.
1.4.4 Construction Timeframe
Construction activities associated with the proposed Project would occur following acquisition of the
required parcels. Construction of the proposed Project is anticipated to begin in mid-2015 and be
completed within approximately one year (mid-2016).
1.6 Discretionary Actions
This Addendum must be adopted by the City of Santa Ana City Council as to its adequacy in complying
with the requirements of CEQA and the previously approved 1990 FEIS/EIR. The City Council will
consider the information contained in the Addendum and the 1990 FEIS/EIR in making a decision to
approve or deny the proposed Project.

Description of Project:
The City of Santa Ana is proposing to widen the Bristol Street between Civic Center Drive and
Washington Avenue from four lanes to six lanes with a 128-foot wide right-of-way cross section
including a 14-foot wide raised landscaped median; three 12-foot wide through travel lanes in each
direction; a 7-foot wide Class II bike Iane on each side of the roadway; a 6-foot wide parkway; and 8-foot
wide sidewalks with curb ramps for wheelchair access (pursuant to American with Disabilities Act of
1990 [ADA] requirements) on both sides of the roadway. As Bristol Street approaches the intersections,
the landscaped center median would taper to accommodate right -turn pockets and left -turn lanes in each
direction. The proposed Project also includes the addition of a westbound right -turn lane on Washington
Avenue at Bristol Street and removal of the eastbound through movement on Washington Avenue at
Bristol Street to match the existing condition. Furthermore, a cul-de-sac would be constructed at 9th
Street on the west side of Bristol Street. The proposed Project would also install an approximately 8-foot-
high block wall at approximately the same location where the soundwall was previously recommended
(as addressed in the 1990 FEIS/EIR). The widening would require full acquisitions of 20 parcels fronting
Bristol Street as detailed in Table 1 (Property Acquisitions) of this Addendum.
Surrounding Land Uses and ,Setting:
The Project site is located within a fully developed urban area within the City of Santa Ana. Areas
surrounding the Project site consist of various urban uses such as single- and multi -family residences and
commercial and retail uses.

3.0 ENVIRONMENTAL CONSEQUENCES
This section describes the effects of the proposed Project as compared to those identified in the previously
approved 1990 FEIS/FIR document, and to existing conditions and any changes in regulatory setting
since the previously approved 1990 FEIS/EIR. Furthermore, this section analyzes the potential
environmental impacts associated with the proposed Project. The issue areas evaluated in this document
include the following, pursuant to Appendix G of the CEQA Guidelines, and have been modified to
evaluate the proposed Project changes for which an FEIS/EIR has been previously approved (in 1990) to
assist in the determination of the need for a supplemental EIS/EIR or an Addendum.
The modified Initial Study checklist, comparing the effects of the Project modifications as compared to
those analyzed in the 1990 FEIS/EIR, is found in Appendix A.
• Aesthetics
• Agricultural and Forestry Resources
• Air Quality
• Biological Resources
• Cultural Resources
• Geology and Soils
• Greenhouse Gas Emissions
• Hazards and Hazardous Materials
• Hydrology/Water Quality
• Land Use
• Mineral Resources
• Noise
• Population and Housing
• Public Services
• Recreation
• Transportation/Traffic
• Utilities/Service Systems
• Mandatory Findings of Significance
A summary of impacts of the previously approved Project and the mitigation measures imposed is
provided along with an analysis of the potential impacts resulting from the proposed Project and whether
those impacts substantially exceeds those discussed in the previously approved 1990 FEIS/EIR.
3.1 Aesthetics
This section corresponds with Section IV - Environmental Consequences and Mitigation Measures,
Subsections A - Landform Modification, G - Urban Landscaping, J - Light and Glare, and K - Aesthetic
Considerations of the previously approved 1990 FEIS/EIR.
a.) Have a substantial adverse effect on a scenic vista?
The proposed Project would not result in any significant modifications or changes from the previously
approved 1990 FEIS/EIR. The Project is located within a highly developed urban area of the City of Santa
Ana. No scenic vistas are located within the Project area. No impact to scenic vistas would result from the
proposed Project.
Mitigation Measures
No new additional mitigation measures are required.
ANA 305-011 (PER 02) CITY OF SANTA ANA (01/19/2015) YU PAGE 26
✓wNVIRONMENTAL IMPACT REPORT ADDENDUM
Bristol Street Widening Phase iIIA — Civic Center Drive to Washington Avenue
b.) Substantially damage scenic resources, including, but not limited to, trees, rock outcroppings,
and historic buildings within a state scenic highway?
There are no state -designated scenic highways within the Project area, nor is the Project area visible from
any scenic highways. No impacts are anticipated in this regard.
Mitigation Measures
No new additional mitigation measures are required.
c.) Substantially degrade the existing visual character or quality of the site and its surroundings?
The proposed Project is located in a highly urbanized area of the City of Santa Ana. Although the
proposed Project would result in modifications to the visual character of the area resulting from the
widening of Bristol Street and resultant property acquisitions, as well as the addition of an 8-Foot high
block wall at approximately the same location where the soundwall was previously addressed in the 1990
FEISIEIR, the Project would not result in substantial changes in visual character as analyzed in the 1990
FEISIEIR. Implementation of mitigation measures as included in the previously approved 1990
FEISIEIR, including installation of a block wall as described above, would ensure that impacts are
reduced to a less than significant level.
Although the proposed block wall is no longer warranted for purposes of noise abatement based on the
updated Project noise analysis (RBF Consulting, 2014), the wall, as further described in the 1990
FEISIEIR, was taken into consideration as a Project -related component in the context of providing
improved visual continuity within the Bristol Street corridor; not constructing the proposed block wall
would detract from providing an aesthetically unified streetscape along the Project corridor.
Mitigation Measures
No additional new mitigation measures are required.
d.) Create a new source of substantial light or glare that would adversely affect day or nighttime
views in the area?
Light and glare are currently generated from various sources within the Project area (e.g., commercial and
retail businesses, signage, street lighting, and parking lot lighting). The proposed Project does not involve
the construction of any structures other than relocation of street lighting fixtures. Therefore, no new
sources of light or glare are anticipated with implementation of the proposed Project. The proposed
Project would not generate additional daytime or nighttime illumination beyond that currently
experienced within the area. Implementation of the proposed Project would not create more significant
light and glare impacts than previously analyzed in the 1990 FEISIEIR.

Mitigation Measures
No additional new mitigation measures are required.
3.2 Agricultural Resources
The previously approved 1990 FEIS/EIR did not include evaluation for agricultural resources, as no
agricultural resources are located within the area of analysis.
a.) Convert Prime Farmland, Unique Farmland, or Farmland of Statewide Importance (Farmland),
as shown on the maps prepared pursuant to the Farmland Mapping and Monitoring Program of
the California Resources Agency, to non-agricultural use?
The Project site is located within a highly urbanized area of the City of Santa Ana. No Prime, Unique, or
Farmland of Statewide Importance is located in the vicinity of the Project site. No impacts would result
from the proposed Project. The proposed Project would not result in greater impacts than previously
analyzed in the 1990 FEIS/EIR.
Mitigation_ Measures
No additional new mitigation measures are required.
b.) Conflict with existing zoning for agricultural use, or a Williamson Act contract?
The Project site is located within a highly urbanized area in the City of Santa Ana. Lands within the
Project area are designated General Commercial as identified in the City of Santa Ana's General Plan.
The zoning designation of properties within the Project area is Specific Plan (SPI) which allows for a
variety of land uses such as commercial, office, residential and open space as provided in the approved
Specific Plan document. No agricultural uses exist on site or in the vicinity, and the Project would not
conflict with a Williamson Act contract as none exist in the Project area. The proposed Project would not
result in greater impacts than previously analyzed in the 1990 FEIS/EIR.
Mitigation_ Measures
No additional new mitigation measures are required.
e.) Conflict with existing zoning for, or cause rezoning, of, forest land (as defined in Public
Resources Code section 12220(g)), timberland (as defined by Public Resources Code section
4526), or timberland zoned Timberland Production (as defined by Government Code section
51104(g))?
The Project site is located within a highly urbanized area in the City of Santa Ana. Lauds within the
Project area are designated General Commercial as identified in the City of Santa Ana's General Plan.
The zoning designation of properties within the Project area is Specific Plan (SPt) which allows for a
variety of land uses such as commercial, office, residential and open space as provided in the approved
Specific.Plan document. No agricultural uses exist on site or in the vicinity, and the Project would not
conflict with a Williamson Act contract as none exist in the Project area. The proposed Project would not
result in greater impacts than previously analyzed in the 1990 FEIS/EIR.
Mitigation Measures
No additional new mitigation measures are required.
ANA 305-011 (PER 02) CITY OF SANTA ANA (01AW2015) YU PAGE 28
ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT REPORT ADDENDUM

d.) Result in the loss afforest land or conversion of forest land to non forest use?
The Project site is located within a highly urbanized area in the City of Santa Ana. No forest land is
located on site or in the vicinity. Implementation of the proposed Project would not result in greater
impacts than previously analyzed in the 1990 FEIS/EIR.
Mitigation Measures
No additional new mitigation measures are required.
e.) Involve other changes in the existing environment which, due to their location or nature, could
result in conversion of Farmland, to non-agricultural use or conversion of forest land to non -
forest use?
The Project site is located within a highly urbanized area in the City of Santa Ana. No forest land is
located on site or in the vicinity. Implementation of the proposed Project would not result in greater
impacts than previously analyzed, regarding farmland, in the 1990 FEISIEIR.
Mitigation Measures
No additional new mitigation measures are required.
3.3 Air Quality
This section corresponds with Section IV - Environmental Consequences and Mitigation Measures,
Subsections H - Air Quality and V - Construction Impacts of the previously approved 1990 FEIS/EIR.
a.) Conflict with or obstruct implementation of the applicable air quality plan?
The Bristol Street Widening Project is fully funded and included in SCAG's 2012 Regional
Transportation Plan titled 2012-2035 Regional Transportation Plan/Sustainable Communities Strategy
(RTP/SCS): Towards a Sustainable Future (20t2 RTP) (RTP ID ORA125). The project is also currently
listed in SCAG's financially constrained 2013 Federal Transportation Improvement Program (2013 FTIP)
for fiscal year 2012/2013 — 2015/2016. The project entry in the 2013 FTIP identifies the following scope
of work: BRISTOL ST (WARNER TO MEMORY LANE) WIDEN FROM 4 TO 6 LANES (IMPV AT
BRISTOL/WARNER (ADD NB/EB/SB THRU LNS; WB RT TRN LN) AND BRISTOL/FIRST (ADD
NB/SB THRU LNS; SB LFT/RT/TRN LNS).
The Proi.ect's design concept and scope have not changed significantly froze what was analyzed in the
RTIP and FTIP. This analysis found that the plan and, therefore the individual projects contained in the
plan, are conforming projects and would have air quality impacts consistent with those identified in the
SIPS for achieving the NAAQS. The FHWA determined the RTIP to conform to the SIP.
The proposed widening of Bristol Street, from Warner Avenue to Memory Lane has been included in the
FTIP since 1992. The FTIP gives priority to eligible Transportation Control Measures (TCMs) identified
in the SIP and provides sufficient funds to provide for their implementation. The FHWA determined the
FTIP to conform to the SIP on April 2, 2009. No significant impacts would occur. Implementation of the
proposed Project would not result in greater impacts than previously analyzed in the 1990 FEISIEIR.
Furthermore, the South Coast Air Basin (SCAB) is designated by the state and US Environmental
Protection Agency (EPA) as nonattainment for ozone (03), and particulate matter (PM10 and PM2,5). The
South Coast Air Quality Management District (SCAQMD) developed regional emissions thresholds to
ANA 305-011 (PER 02) CITY OF SANTA ANA (01/19/2015) YU PAGE 29
ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT REPORT ADDENDUM
Bristol Street Widening Phase ILIA — Civic Center Drive to Washington Avenue
determine whether or not a project would contribute to air pollutant violations. If a project exceeds the
regional air pollutant thresholds, then the project would substantially contribute to air quality violations in
the SCAB. In addition, a project would also contribute to air pollutant violations if localized emissions
result in an exceedance of the ambient air quality standards (AAQS).
Based on the Air Quality Assessment Report performed by URS Corporation (2013a) for the Project,
short-term emissions generated during Project -related construction activities would not exceed the
SCAQMD regional emissions thresholds for any of the criteria pollutants and also would not substantially
elevate localized concentrations of these pollutants. Consequently, the Project would be consistent with
the Air Quality Management Plant (AQMP). Long-term emissions generated by the Project would not
exceed the SCAQMD thresholds for regional emissions and would therefore also not contribute to an
increase in frequency or severity of air quality violations.
The proposed Project would be consistent with the Major Arterial designation of the City of Santa Ana
General Plan Circulation Element and the County of Orange's Master Plan of Arterial Highways.
Additionally, the Project would improve traffic flow and result in a reduction in air pollutant emissions.
Mitigation Measures
No additional new mitigation measures are required.
b.) Violate any air quality standard or contribute substantially to an existing or projected air quality
violation?
Short-term emissions were modeled for the construction phase of the proposed Project. Construction
activities associated with the Project would include demolition of pavement and buildings, fine grading,
trenching, paving, and development of ancillary structures. During construction activities, emissions from
heavy equipment exhaust, delivery trucks, and fugitive dust would be generated for a short duration. To
accurately determine the significance of air quality impacts from construction activities, construction
emissions are quantified and compared to the significance thresholds set by the SCAQMD. Project -
specific data, such as construction timelines and dimensions of the Project site, along with general
operating guidelines, were used as inputs to the SCAQMD's California Emissions Estimator Model
(CalEEMod) (version 2011.1.1) to quantify construction emissions. As shown in Table 2, emissions
calculated by this model were compared to the SCAQMD's regional significance thresholds to determine
whether project emissions would result in a significant air quality impact.
As shown in Table 2, emissions attributable to construction of the proposed Project were found to be
below the significance thresholds adopted by the SCAQMD for all the analyzed air pollutants. Because
emissions were found to be below the SCAQMD's significance thresholds, Project related construction
emissions are not considered by the SCAQMD to result in a significant air quality impact. In addition,
mitigation measures included in the 1990 FEIS/ETR would further reduce construction -related air quality
impacts.

An assessment of regional emissions associated with the operations phase of the proposed Project was
also conducted which compared emissions with and without the proposed Project. Aix pollutant emissions
generated by roadway vehicles are quantified based on emissions rates that vary based on vehicle speed.
Because the proposed Project would increase the roadway capacity along Bristol Street, traffic congestion
would be alleviated and average vehicle speeds would increase along improved roadway segments. Table
3 shows the emissions that would occur with and without the proposed Project based on the average
vehicle speeds. As shown in Table 3, air pollutant emissions would be less under the With -Project
Alternative as opposed to the No Project Alternative due to the lower emission rates associated with
higher average vehicle speeds. The SCAQMD has established significance thresholds to determine
whether the operations phase of projects would result in significant impacts to regional air quality. The
proposed Project would result in air pollutant emissions which are below these significance thresholds
and would result in a beneficial impact on air pollutant emissions due to improvements in operational
phase efficiencies along Project roadway segments for the 2015 Project opening year.
Emissions occurring during the 2035 design year were also quantified based on the LOS, average vehicle
speed and emission rates that would occur with and without the proposed Project. As shown in Table 4,
air pollutant emissions occurring under the With -Project Alternative would be less than under the No
Project Alternative due to lower emission rates associated with higher average speeds. Consequently, the
Proposed Project for the 2035 Project design year would likewise result in emissions which are below the
SCAQMD's significance thresholds and would result in a beneficial impact relative to greenhouse gas
(GHG) emissions due to improvements in operational phase efficiencies along Project roadway segments.
Mitigation Measures
No additional new mitigation measures are required.

c.) Result in a cumulatively considerable net increase of any criteria pollutant for which the project
region is non -attainment under an applicable federal or state ambient air quality standard
(including releasing emissions which exceed quantitative thresholds for ozone precursors)?
The SCAB is designated by the EPA and the State as being nonattainment for 03, PM10, and PM2.5. In
accordance with SCAQMD methodology, any project that does not exceed or can be mitigated to less
than the daily threshold values does not add significantly to a cumulative impact. As mentioned above,
the development of the proposed Project demonstrates that construction and operational activities would
not result in emissions in excess of SCAQMD's threshold values. Since the proposed Project would not
exceed the SCAQMD's significance thresholds for construction activities or the operations phase, the
SCAQMD does not consider emissions from the Project's emissions to add significantly to any
cumulative impact. Furthermore, it should be noted that the proposed Project would increase the capacity

ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT REPORT ADDENDUM
Bristol Street Widening Phase IIIA -- Civic Center Drive to Washington Avenue
of Bristol Street from Civic Center Drive to Washington Avenue to address existing and projected traffic
congestion. Increases in roadway capacity would result in improvement in the LOS along Bristol Street.
The improvement in LOS would result in increases in average vehicle speed and reductions in the amount
of delay vehicles experience at intersections thereby resulting in both lower emissions and lower
emissions rates associated with higher vehicle speeds. As such, the Project would continue to result in a
beneficial impact. Implementation of the proposed Project would not result in greater impacts than
previously analyzed in the 1990 FEISIEIR.
Mitigation Measures
No additional new mitigation measures are required.
d.) Expose sensitive receptors to substantial pollutant concentrations?
A project could have the potential to expose sensitive receptors to elevated pollutant concentrations if it
would cause or contribute substantially to elevated pollutant concentration levels or place the Project in
an area with elevated pollutant concentrations. An evaluation of air pollutant emissions as it affects local
sensitive receptors has been conducted for both the construction and operations phases of the Project.
Localized Construction Impacts
Localized air pollutant emissions are evaluated relative to the exposure of local sensitive uses to air
pollutant concentrations generated by the proposed Project. These are pollutant concentrations which can
be directly correlated to the health -based ambient air quality standards. This differs from regional
emissions which were discussed previously in that regional emissions are used to assess how much air
pollution is generated within an air basin and does not have a direct correlation with health effects.
Localized Significance Thresholds (LSTs) have been developed by the SCAQMD for nitrogen oxides
(NOx), carbon monoxide (CO), PM10, and PM2.5• The LSTs determine whether project -related emissions
would substantially contribute to or exceed the ambient air quality standards and expose sensitive
receptors to excessive concentrations of air pollutants. The LSTs differ based on distance such that a
greater allowance in air pollutant emissions is allowed for construction activities occurring further from a
sensitive use and a lesser allowance in emissions is given for construction activities occurring closer to
sensitive uses.
Only short-term emissions occurring at the Project site for the Project's construction phase were included
to determine if sensitive receptors local to the Project site would be adversely affected. Emissions
generated by construction activities disperse rapidly with distance from the construction site. Individual
construction phases were compared against the SCAQMD's LST significance criteria. As shown in Table
5, Project emissions would not exceed the LST screening level criteria for CO, nitrogen dioxide (NO2),
PM10, or PM2.5. Because emissions associated with this alternative would be less than the LST, onsite
construction emissions would not be expected to exceed the federal or California AAQS at the nearest
sensitive receptors. As such, no significant air quality impacts related to localized air pollutants would
occur from the construction phase.

Intersection Hot -Spots
While the proposed Project would not result in any direct sources of localized emissions due to the
roadway street lighting being powered by electricity, changes in LOS or traffic volumes due to the Project
may cause indirect sources of localized emissions. While emissions of motor vehicles have improved due
to more stringent vehicle emissions standards and the use of cleaner burning fuels, they continue to be the
primary source of local emissions within the study area. Localized areas where ambient concentrations
exceed national and/or state standards for CO are known as hotspots. The SCAQMD defines typical
sensitive receptors as residences, schools, playgrounds, childcare centers, athletic facilities, long-term
health care facilities, rehabilitation centers, convalescent centers, and retirement homes.
Because CO is produced in greatest quantities from vehicle combustion and does not readily disperse into
the atmosphere, adherence to AAQS is typically demonstrated through an analysis of localized CO
concentrations. Areas of vehicle congestion have the potential to create pockets of CO called "hot spots."
These pockets have the potential to exceed the state one -hour standard of 20 parts per million (ppm) or
the eight -hour standard of 9 ppm. Note that the federal levels are based on one- and eight -hour standards
of 35 and 9 ppm, respectively. Thus, an exceedance condition would occur based on the state standards
before the federal standards.
The following intersections were modeled for CO hotspots as detailed in the Air Quality Assessment
Report (URS 2013a):
• Bristol Street and 17"' Street
• Bristol Street and Washington Avenue
As shown in Table 6, both the 1- and 8-hour CO concentrations at the intersections that were affected by
the proposed Project would be substantially below the California and federal AAQS for CO. Potential CO
impacts related to the Project alternatives are below AAQS and would not result in a significant air
quality impact from CO hotspots.

As discussed previously, the proposed Project would not result in air pollutant concentrations that exceed
the SCAQMD's LSTs for construction activities. In addition, the operations phase of the Project would
not result in CO hotspots. As such, the construction and operations phases of the Project would not result
in significant impacts to air quality which would expose sensitive receptors to substantial air pollutant
concentrations.
Mitigation Measures
No additional new mitigation measures are required.
e.) Create objectionable odors affecting a substantial number ofpeople?
Construction activities associated with the proposed Project may generate detectable odors from heavy-
duty construction equipment and exhaust. Odors associated with diesel and gasoline fumes are transitory
in nature and would not create objectionable odors affecting a substantial number of people. The impacts
from these odors would be short-term, would cease upon Project completion, and are not anticipated to be
significant. Implementation of the proposed Project would not result in greater impacts than previously
analyzed in the 1990 FEIS/EIR.
Mitigation Measures
No additional new mitigation measures are required.
3.4 Biological Resources
This section corresponds with Section IV - Environmental Consequences and Mitigation Measures,
Subsection E - Streambed Modification, of the previously approved 1990 FEIS/EIR.
a.) Have a substantial adverse effect, either directly or through habitat modifications, on any species
identified as a candidate, sensitive, or special -status species in local or regional plans, policies, or
regulations, or by the California Department of Fish and Game or US Fish and Wildlife Service?
The Project site is located within a highly urbanized area within the City of Santa Ana. No sensitive
natural habitat or special -status species exist on or in the vicinity of the proposed Project (Natural
Environment Study [Minimal Impacts], URS Corporation, April 2011). Implementation of the proposed
Project would not result in greater impacts than previously analyzed in the 1990 FEIS/EIR.
Mitigation Measures
No new additional mitigation measures are required.
b.) Have a substantial adverse effect on any riparian habitat or other sensitive natural community
identified in local or regional plans, policies, or regulations or by the California Department of
Fish and Game or US Fish and Wildlife Service?

Refer to response in 3.4 (a.), above. No riparian habitat or other sensitive natural communities are
identified in the Project area or vicinity. Implementation of the proposed Project would not result in
greater impacts than previously analyzed in the 1990 FEISIEIR.
Mitigation Measures
No new additional mitigation measures are required.
c.) Have a substantial adverse effect on federally protected wetlands as defined by Section 404 of the
Clean Water Act (including, but not limited to, marsh, vernal pool, coastal, etc.) through direct
removal, filling, hydrological interruption, or other means?
Refer to response in 3.4 (a.), above. No federally protected wetlands are identified in the Project area or
vicinity. The proposed Project is located within a highly urbanized area of the City of Santa Ana.
Implementation of the proposed Project would not result in greater impacts than previously analyzed in
the 1990 FEISIEIR.
Mitigation Measures
No new additional mitigation measures are required.
rl) Interfere substantially with the movement of any native resident or migratory fish or wildlife
species or with established native resident or migratory wildlife corridors, or impede the use of
native wildlife nursery sites?
The proposed Project is located within a highly urbanized area of the City of Santa Ana. The Project
would not interfere with the movement of any native resident or migratory fish or wildlife species,
corridors, or impede the use of native wildlife nursery sites, as none are located within the Project area.
Implementation of the proposed Project would not result in greater impacts than previously analyzed in
the 1990 FEISIEIR.
Mitigation Measures
No new additional mitigation measures are required.
e.) Conflict with any local policies or ordinances protecting biological resources, such as a tree
preservation policy or ordinance?
The proposed Project may result in the removal of existing landscaping, including trees. As such, removal
or planting of trees is required to comply with the City of Santa Ana Municipal Code, Chapter 33, Article
VII, Regulation of the Planting, Maintenance, and Removal of Trees. Furthermore, the proposed Project
would not conflict with the City's tree ordinance. Implementation of the proposed Project would not
result in greater impacts than previously analyzed in the 1990 FEISIEIR.
Mitigation Measures
No new additional mitigation measures are required.
f.) Conflict with the provisions of an adopted Habitat Conservation Plan, Natural Community
Conservation Plan, or other approved local, regional, or state habitat conservation plan?

Mitigation Measures
No new additional mitigation measures are required.
3.5 Cultural Resources
This section corresponds with Section IV - Environmental Consequences and Mitigation Measures,
Subsection T - Cultural Resources, of the previously approved 1990 FEISIEIR.
a.) Cause a substantial adverse change in the significance of a historical resource as defined in
§I5064.5?
A Historic Property Survey Report (Applied Earthworks, 2015) was prepared for the Project to document
identification, recordation, and evaluation efforts for architectural resources, such as buildings, structures,
objects, districts, and linear features within the Project area. The Historic Property Survey Report
concludes with the finding that none of the properties within the Area of Potential Effect (APE) appear to
meet the criterion for listing in the National Register of Historic Places or California Register of
Historical Resources (CRHR). The historic -period properties within the APE also have been evaluated in
accordance with Section 15064.5(a)(2)-(3) of the CEQA Guidelines, using the criteria outlined in Section
5024.1 of the California Public Resources Code (CPRC), and do not appear to be historical resources for
purposes of CEQA. Implementation of the proposed Project would not result in greater impacts than
previously analyzed in the 1990 FEIS/EIR.
Mitigation Measures
No new additional mitigation measures are required.
b.) Cause a substantial adverse change in the significance of an archaeological resource pursuant to
§ 15064.5?
Due to the limited area of disturbance, within an existing developed and urban area, and limited depth of
proposed excavations, the potential to uncover archaeological resources is considered low. However,
implementation of mitigation measures as included in the previously approved 1990 FEISIEIR would
reduce impacts to archaeological resources yet uncovered or undiscovered. The proposed Project would
not result in archaeological impacts greater than previously analyzed in the 1990 FEIS/EIR.
Mitigation Measures
No new additional mitigation measures are required.
c.) Directly or indirectly destroy a unique paleontological resource or site or unique geologic
feature?
As documented in Chapter VI, Resources Element, of the County of Orange General Plan, the Project site
is not located in an area of paleontological sensitivity. Also, the proposed Project would involve only
shallow excavation. Furthermore, since the Project area is already developed, the potential for discovering
paleontological resources during construction is low. Soils occurring in the Project area are mostly
Quaternary Alluvium. Typically, these deposits are less than 10,000 years old, and not likely to contain

important fossils. No greater impacts to paleontological resources than previously analyzed in the 1990
FEISIEIR would result from Project implementation.
Mitigation Measures
No new additional mitigation measures are required.
d.) Disturb any human remains, including those interred outside of formal cemeteries?
The Project site is located within a highly urbanized area within the City of Santa Ana. No formal
cemeteries are located within the Project area or vicinity. However, in the event that human remains are
uncovered during grading or excavation, contractors are required to comply with the procedures and
requirements set forth in the California Health and Safety Code Section 7050.5 and CPRC Section
2098.98. The County Coroner and, in the event that the remains are Native American, the Native
American Heritage Commission would be notified and, in turn, would notify those persons believed to be
most likely descended from the deceased for appropriate disposition of the remains. The proposed Project
would not result in an impact to human remains greater than previously analyzed in the 1990 FEISIEIR.
Mitigation Measures
No new additional mitigation measures are required.
3.6 Geology and Soils
This section corresponds with Section IV - Environmental Consequences and Mitigation Measures,
Subsections A - Landform Modification, B - Seismic Hazards, C - Erosion Impacts, and F - Water
Quality, of the previously approved 1990 FEISIEIR.
a.)i Rupture of a known earthquake fault, as delineated on the most recent Alquist-Priolo
Earthquake Fault Zoning Map issued by the State Geologist for the area or based on other
substantial evidence of a known fault? Refer to Division of Mines and Geology Special
Publication 42.
The City of Santa Ana is not included in the Alquist-Priolo Earthquake Fault Zoning Map. The Project
site is not underlain by an active fault and the closest fault, the Newport -Inglewood Fault, is
approximately eight miles to the west. The proposed widening would not result in greater impacts than
previously analyzed in the 1990 FEISIEIR.
Mitigation Measures
No new additional mitigation measures are required.
a.)ii Strong seismic ground shaking?
The Ncwport-Inglewood Fault is the closest fault to the Project site and is the most likely source of
ground shaking impacts. The proposed Project is an intersection widening project and would not expose
people or structures to adverse ground shaking impact. The proposed widening would not result in greater
impacts than previously analyzed in the 1990 FEISIEIR.
Mitigation Measures
No new additional mitigation measures are required.

ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT REPORT ADDENDUM
Bristol Street Widening Phase ILIA — Civic Center Drive to Washington Avenue
a.)iii Seismic-relatedgroundfailtire, including liquefaction?
The Project site is not identified by the 1990 FEIS/EIR as having a high liquefaction potential but is near
areas classified as having high to medium liquefaction potential. In addition, the Project would be
constructed to achieve the standards outlined in the California Building Code to reduce impacts in this
regard. Consequently, the proposed Project would not expose people or structures to potential liquefaction
impact. The proposed widening would not result in greater impacts than previously analyzed in the 1990
FEIS/EIR.
Mitigation Measures
No new additional mitigation measures are required.
a.)iv Landslides?
The proposed Project site is generally flat and does not contain any significant slopes. The proposed
Project would not result in greater impacts than previously analyzed in the 1990 Final EIS/EIR.
Mitigation Measures
No new additional mitigation measures are required.
b.) Result in substantial soil erosion or the loss of topsoil?
Exposure of barren rock and soil surfaces during construction would result in soil erosion. However,
considering the slight gradient, anticipated erosion impact is minimal. Furthermore, the Project would be
subject to National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) permitting regulation, including the
development and implementation of a Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan (SWPPP) during
construction activities. The SWPPP requires construction contractors to implement best management
practices (BMPs) to reduce sediment from impacting the storm water system. The increased erosion
impact due to the intersection widening would not be substantially greater than previously analyzed.
c.) Be located on a geologic unit or soil that is unstable, or that would become unstable as a result of
the project, and potentially result in on- or off -site landslide, lateral spreading, subsidence,
liquefaction or collapse?
The 1990 FEIS/EIR indicated that there are no instances of undisturbed, natural soils. The Project site is
underlain by well -drained alluvial fan or flood plains and is not included in the areas of high subsidence
or high liquefaction hazard (but located south of an area identified as having high to medium subsidence
for liquefaction). The Project area is fully developed with urban uses within the City of Santa Ana. The
proposed Project would be constructed in accordance with the standards of the Uniform Building Code
(UBC). The proposed Project would not create greater impact than previously analyzed in the 1990
FEIS/EIR.
Mitigation Measures
No new additional mitigation measures are required.
d.) Be located on expansive soil, as defined in Table 18-1-B of the Uniform Building Code (1994),
creating substantial risks to life or property?
ANA 305-011 (PER 02) CITY OF SANTA ANA (01/19/2015) YU PAGE 39
ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT REPORTADDENDUM
Bristol Street Widening Phase IIIA — Civic Center Drive to Washington Avenue
The proposed Project would not include the construction of any structures other than relocation of
existing utilities. The proposed Project would not create substantial risks to life or property and the
proposed Project would not create greater impacts than previously analyzed in the 1990 FEISIEIR.
Mitigation Measures
No new additional mitigation measures are required.
e.) Have soils incapable of adequately supporting the use of septic tanks or alternative waste water
disposal systems where sewers are not available for the disposal of waste water?
The proposed Project would not generate any sewage or wastewater and would not require installation of
any septic tanks or alternative wastewater systems. No impacts are anticipated in this regard.
Mitigation Measures
No new additional mitigation measures are required.
3.7 Greenhouse Gas Emissions
This section corresponds with Section IV - Environmental Consequences and Mitigation Measures,
Subsections H - Air Quality, and V - Construction Impacts of the 1990 FEIS/EIR.
a.) Generate greenhouse gas emissions, either directly or indirectly, that may have a significant
impact on the environment?
Greenhouse gas emissions (GHG) were not evaluated in the 1990 FEISIEIR. Construction activities
would consume fuel and result in the generation of GHG emissions. Construction of the Project is
anticipated to occur over a one-year period. Construction -related GHG emissions would cease upon
completion of the Project. Due to the length of construction activities, GHG emissions associated with
construction activities are anticipated to be minimal. Because construction emissions are not substantial
and would cease after completion of construction, GHG emissions would not be significant.
Furthermore, the Project proposes intersection widening of Bristol Street at 17u' Street and Washington
Avenue, therefore only carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions from mobile -sources are evaluated. Similar to the
other criteria pollutants, the highest emissions would occur between 0 to 10 miles per hour (mph) and 50
mph and above. Because the Project would improve traffic flow within the Project area, the Project would
result in reduced CO2 emissions. Consequently, GHG emissions associated with the Project would be less
than significant.
Mitigation Measures
No mitigation measures are required.
b.) Conflict with an applicable plan, policy or regulation adopted for the purpose of reducing the
emissions of greenhouse gases?
The proposed Project would not conflict with applicable plans, policy, or regulations adopted for the
purpose of reducing the emissions of GHG. The proposed Project would result in improved traffic flow,
reduced vehicle idling times, and congestion. Implementation of the proposed Project would not result in
new impacts to GHG.

3.8 Hazards and Hazardous Materials
This section corresponds with Section IV - Environmental Consequences and Mitigation Measures,
Subsections V - Construction Impacts, X - Hazardous Materials, of the 1990 Final EIS/EIR.
a.) Create a significant hazard to the public or the environment through the routine transport, use,
or disposal of hazardous materials?
The proposed Project would involve demolition of existing structures. Compliance with the standard
protocol surveys and abating procedures would be required prior to any demolition activities that would
potentially disturb existing building materials. Furthermore, specific requirements limiting asbestos
emissions from building demolition activities are set forth in SCAQMD Rule 1403 (Asbestos Emission
from Demolition/Renovation Activities). The existing structures to be demolished and roadway pavement
striping are also required to be surveyed for lead -based paint prior to removal, in compliance with the
applicable local, state, and federal regulations administered through the California Division of
Occupational Safety and Health. Compliance with existing regulations would ensure that impacts are not
greater than previously analyzed in the 1990 FEIS/EIR.
Mitigation Measures
No mitigation measures are required.
b.) Create a significant hazard to the public or the environment through reasonably foreseeable
upset and accident conditions involving the release of hazardous materials into the environment?
Refer to response in 3.8 (a.), above. Compliance with existing regulations and mitigation measures from
the 1990 FEIS/EIR would ensure that impacts are not greater than previously analyzed.
Mitigation Measures
No new additional mitigation measures are required.
c.) Emit hazardous emissions or handle hazardous or acutely hazardous materials, substances, or
waste within one -quarter mile of an existing or proposed school?
As listed below in Table 7, there are four schools located within approximately one -quarter mile of the
Project site.

Refer to response in 3,8 (a.), above. Health risks associated with Project construction -related activities
would be less than significant. Compliance with existing regulations would ensure that impacts are not
greater than previously analyzed in the 1990 FEISIEIR.
Mitigation Measures
No new additional mitigation measures are required.
d.) Be located on a site which is included on a list of hazardous materials sites compiled pursuant to
Government Code Section 65962.5 and, as a result, would it create a significant hazard to the
public or the environment?
The Project area is developed with residential, institutional, open space, commercial and retail uses.
Pursuant to the Phase I Initial Site Assessment Update prepared by RBF Consulting (2015), the Project
site includes a former service station location where gasoline was reported to have contaminated the
groundwater; the site was under -going site remediation through appropriate state and local agency
standards as required. To that end, the Santa Ana Regional Water Quality Control Board issued a case
closure letter dated September 3, 2014 stating that no further action was required for the site. Compliance
with existing regulations and mitigation measures from the 1990 FEISIEIR would ensure that impacts are
not greater than previously analyzed in the 1990 FEISIEIR.
Mitigation Measures
No new additional mitigation measures are required.
e.) For a project located within an airport land use plan or, where such a plan has not been adopted,
within two miles of a public airport or public use airport, would the project result in a safety
hazard for people residing or working in the project area?
The Project site is not within an airport land use plan. The closest airport to the site is John Wayne —
Orange County Airport, more than five miles southeast of the Project site. The proposed widening would
not introduce any new risks or increase risks associated with the Project.
Mitigation Measures
No new additional mitigation measures are required.
f.) For a project within the vicinity of a private airstrip, would the project result in a safety hazard
for people residing or working in the project area?
The Project site is not within the vicinity of a private airstrip and would not create any safety hazard. The
proposed Project would not create additional significant impact.

Bristol Street Widening Phase I11A — Civic Center Drive to Washington Avenue
Mitigation Measures
No new additional mitigation measures are required.
g) Impair implementation of or physically interfere with an adopted emergency response plan or
emergency evacuation plan?
During construction, the disruption of traffic and access along Bristol Street between Civic Center Drive
and Washington Avenue would temporarily affect the mobility of emergency vehicles. IIowever,
provisions would be made for interim access through the Project corridor and to adjoining properties;
traffic control plans would be prepared detailing provisions for vehicular movement and access through
the Project corridor during construction. Advance warning and information signs would be used to inform
motorists during the construction process. It is expected that two-way travel would be maintained along
Bristol Street during construction. Although the proposed Project may interfere with an emergency
evacuation plan, it would be short term during construction and mobility would improve once the Project
is completed. Compliance with mitigation measures from the 1990 FEISIEIR would ensure that impacts
are not greater than previously analyzed in the 1990 FEISIEIR.
Mitigation Measures
No new additional mitigation measures are required.
h.) Expose people or structures to a significant risk of loss, injury or death involving wildland fires,
including where wildlands are agiacent to urbanized areas or where residences are intermixed
with wildlands?
The proposed Project is located in a highly urbanized area of the City of Santa Ana. There are no
wildlands in the Project vicinity and no new significant impacts would result with Project
implementation.
Mitigation Measures
No new additional mitigation measures are required.
3.9 Hydrology and Water Quality
This section corresponds with Section TV - Environmental Consequences and Mitigation Measures,
Subsections C - Erosion Impacts, D - Floodplain/Floodway Encroachment, and F - Water Quality of the
1990 FEISIEIR.
a.) Violate any water quality standards or waste discharge requirements?
Under Section 402 of the Clean Water Act (CWA), the EPA has established regulations under the NPDES
program to control direct storm water discharges. The proposed Project would be required to comply with
the NPDES program for the Santa Ana Regional Water Quality Control Board.
Construction Activities
Grading and excavation and use of hazardous materials during Project -related construction activities
would create potential sources of polluted discharge. The construction contractor is required to conform
to the requirements of the General Permit for Discharges of Storm Water Associated with Construction
Activity. Pursuant to the CWA, in 2009 the State Water Quality Control Board issued a statewide General
Construction Permit for stormwater discharges from construction sites (NPDES No. CAS000002; Order
ANA 305-011 (PER 02) CITY OF SANTA ANA (01/19/2015) YU PAGE 43
ENVIRONMENTAL. IMPACT REPORT ADDENDUM
Bristol Street Widening Phase IIIA — Civic Center Drive to Washington Avenue
No. 2009-2009-DWQ, amended as Order No. 2012-0006-DWQ). Under this General Construction
Permit, discharges of stormwater from construction sites with a disturbed area of one or more acres are
required to either obtain individual NPDES permits for stormwater discharges or to be covered by the
General Construction Permit. In addition, BMPs specified in the Caltrans Storm Water Management Plan
are also applicable. The construction contractor is required to conform to the requirements of the General
NPDES Permit for Construction Activities and any subsequent General Permit in effect at the time of
Project construction.
As part of the statewide NPDES permit, the construction contractor would be required to implement
BMPs into their construction operations to reduce potential water quality impacts to the maximum extent
practicable through preparation of a SWPPP. The General Construction Permit contains requirements that
BMPs must meet, including:
Erosion Control
Erosion control, also called stabilization, is the protection of the soil surface so that soil particles do not
become detached by water or wind; and trapping soil particles that do become detached and are moved by
water or wind.
Non-Stormwater Management
Non-stormwater management is the reduction or avoidance of discharges other than stormwater, such as
from cleaning of vehicles and equipment, and spills of hazardous materials and hazardous wastes. Non-
stormwater management includes requirements for the use and storage of hazardous substances so as to
avoid spills and minimizes pollution by cleaning spills that do occur.
The SWPPP contains BMPs chosen for a project based on the specific activities that would be conducted
as part of that project, and the amounts of stormwater and non-stormwater runoff that are anticipated, and
the projected Risk Level, The 1990 FEIS/EIR included a mitigation measure to control stormwater runoff
associated with construction activities. Impacts would be less than significant and would be similar to
those identified in the 1990 FEIS/EIR. Moreover, the Project would comply with the updated NPDES
requirements, as described above.
Operational Phase
Vehicular travel along the improved Project corridor has the potential to degrade water quality, including
increases in such pollutants as oil, gasoline, grease, lead, and dust. Discharge from the Project site to
stormwater facilities would consist of non -point sources. Stormwater quality is generally affected by the
length of time since the last rainfall, rainfall intensity, urban uses of the area, and the quantity of
transported sediments. Typical urban water quality pollutants usually result from motor vehicle
operations, oil and grease residue. The majority of pollutant loads are usually washed away during the
first flush of the storm occurring after the dry season period. Due to the nature of the proposed Project,
occurring within an existing developed area, Project impacts are not considered adverse. Therefore,
impacts to water quality would be similar to those identified in the 1990 FEIS/EIR.
Mitigation Measures
No new additional mitigation measures are required.
b.) Substantially deplete groundwater supplies or interfere substantially with groundwater recharge
such that there would be a net deficit in aquifer volume or a lowering of'the local groundwater
table level (e.g., the production rate of pre-existing nearby wells would drop to a level that would
not support axisting land uses orplanned uses for which permits have been granted)?

ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT REPORT ADDENDUM
Bristol Street Widening Phase ILIA — Civic Center Drive to Washington Avenue
The proposed widening of Bristol Street, as addressed herein, would not result in increased water
consumption and would not deplete groundwater supplies. No impact to groundwater supplies would
result from the proposed Project. No mitigation measures are necessary. Impacts would be similar to
those identified in the 1990 FEIS/EIR.
Mitigation Measures
No new additional mitigation measures are required.
c.) Substantially alter the existing drainage pattern of the site or area, including through the
alteration of the course of a stream or river, in a manner that would result in substantial erosion
or siltation on- or off -site?
The proposed Project would not alter the existing drainage pattern in the area. Storm drain improvements
would include the relocation and/or construction of catch basins and lateral drainage lines as necessary.
Therefore, implementation of the proposed Project would not result in a substantial erosion or siltation
on- or offsite due to drainage alteration. No mitigation measures are necessary. Impacts would be similar
to those identified in the 1990 FEIS/EIR.
Mitigation Measures
No new additional mitigation measures are required.
d.) Substantially alter the existing drainage pattern of the site or area, including through the
alteration of the course of a stream or river, or substantially increase the rate or amount of
surface runoff in a manner that would result in flooding on- or off -site?
Refer to response in 3.9 (c), above. The proposed Project would not result in a substantial increase in
impervious ground surfaces, and therefore would not increase the rate or amount of surface runoff so as to
create on- or off -site flooding. Impacts would not be greater than previously analyzed in the 1990
FEIS/EIR.
Mitigation Measures
No new additional mitigation measures are required.
e.} Create or contribute runoff water which would exceed the capacity of existing or planned storm
water drainage systems or provide substantial additional sources of polluted runoff?
Refer to response in 3.9 (c.), above. Impacts would be similar to those identified in the 1990 FEIS/EIR.
Mitigation Measures
No new additional mitigation measures are required.
f.) Otherwise substantially degrade water duality?
Refer to response in 3.9 (c.), above. Impacts would be similar to those identified in the 1990 FEIS/EIR.

g.) Place housing within a I00 year flood hazard area as mapped on a federal Flood Hazard
Boundary or Flood Insurance Rate Map or otherflood load hazard delineation map?
The proposed widening would not place any housing within a 100-year flooding zone as mapped by the
Federal Emergency Management Agency; therefore, no impact would result from the proposed Project in
that regard. Impacts would be similar to those identified in the 1990 FEISIEIR.
Mitigation Measures
No new additional mitigation measures are required.
h.) Place within a 100 year flood hazard area structures which would impede or redirect flood
flows?
Refer to response in 3.9 (g), above. Impacts would be similar to those identified in the 1990 FEISIEIR.
Mitigation Measures
No new additional mitigation measures are required.
i.) Expose people or structures to a significant risk of loss, injury or death involving flooding,
including flooding as a result of the failure of a levee or dam?
The proposed Project does not involve the development or placement of any structures, with exception of
relocation of utility poles. Therefore, the Project would not expose people or structures to a significant
flooding risk beyond that which already exists. No impact would result from the proposed Project.
Mitigation Measures
No new additional mitigation measures are required.
j.) Inundation by seiche, tsunami, or mudflow?
The Project site is located approximately 10 miles inland from the Pacific Ocean; therefore, the likelihood
of tsunami impacting the site is minimal. The Project site and vicinity are highly urbanized and there is no
unusual slope or geologic features in the area. The potential for seiche, tsunami, or mudflow impacting
the Project site is less than significant. Impacts would be similar to those identified in the 1990 FEISIEIR.
Mitigation Measure
No new additional mitigation measures are required.
3.10 Land Use and Planning
This section corresponds with Section IV - Environmental Consequences and Mitigation Measures,
Subsection A - Landform Modification, of the 1990 FEISIEIR.
a.) Physically divide an established community?
The proposed Project involves the widening of Bristol Street between Civic Center Drive and Washington
Avenue; the proposed widening would not divide an established community. Although the proposed
widening of Bristol Street within the Project limits would result in full acquisition of existing properties,
ANA 305-011 (PER 02) C17Y OF SANTA ANA (01/19/2015) YU PAGE 46
ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT REPORT ADDENDUM
Bristol Street Widening Phase MA — Civic Center Drive to Washington Avenue
the Project would not create a physical barrier to, or separate a community. The proposed Project would
not introduce any significant land use impacts than previously analyzed. No significant impact would
result from the Project implementation. Impacts would be similar to those identified in the 1990
FEIS/EIR.
Mitigation Measures
No new additional mitigation measures are required.
b.) Coti flict with any applicable land use plan, policy, or regulation of an agency with jurisdiction
over the project (including, but not limited to the general plan, specific plan, local coastal
program, or zoning ordinance) adopted for the purpose of avoiding or mitigating an
environmental effect?
According to the City of Santa Ana's General Plan, the Project area is designated General Commercial
(GC). The zoning designation of properties within the Project area is Specific Plan (SP1) which allows for
a variety of land uses such as commercial, office, residential and open space as provided in the approved
Specific Plan document. The proposed Project would not result in changes to the laird use designation of
the acquired parcels. The proposed Project is in compliance with the existing designation and would not
create a new conflict. No significant impact is anticipated. Impacts would be similar to those identified in
the 1990 FEIS/EIR.
Mitigation Measures
No new additional mitigation measures are required.
c.) Conflict with any applicable habitat conservation plan or natural community conservation plan?
The Project site is not a part of any habitat conservation plan, and is located within a highly urbanized
area within the City of Santa Ana. The proposed widening would not conflict with any habitat
conservation plan or natural community. No impact is anticipated. Impacts would be similar to those
identified in the 1990 FEIS/EIR.
Mitigation Measures
No new additional mitigation mcasures are required.
3.11 Mineral Resources
This section corresponds with Section IV - Environmental Consequences and Mitigation Measures,
Subsection W - Consumption of Renewable and Non -Renewable Resources of the 1990 FEIS/EIR.
a.) Result in the loss of availability of a known mineral resource that would be of value to the region
and the residents of the state?
The Project site is currently developed and does not contain any areas that are utilized for the extraction
of mineral resources. Furthermore, the proposed Project would not involve excavation that would likely
identify previously unidentified mineral resources. No impact to mineral resources would result from the
proposed Project. Impacts would be similar to those identified in the 1990 FEIS/EIR.
Mitigation Measures
No new additional mitigation measures are required.

h.) Result in the loss of availability of a locally -important mineral resource recovery site delineated
on a local general plan, specific plan or other land use plan?
The Project site is currently developed and is not delineated as a mineral resources recovery site by the
City of Santa Ana General Plan. Implementation of the proposed Project would have no impact on the
mineral resources and no mitigation measures are necessary. Impacts would be similar to those identified
in the 1990 FEISIEIR.
Mitigation Measures
No new additional mitigation measures are required.
3.12 !Noise
This section corresponds with Section IV - Environmental Consequences and Mitigation Measures,
Subsections I - Noise, and V - Construction Impacts of the 1990 FEISIEIR.
a.) Exposure of persons to or generation of noise levels in excess of standards established in the
local general plan or noise ordinance, or applicable standards of other agencies?
The proposed Project involves widening of Bristol Street between Civic Center Drive and Washington
Avenue in an area that consists primarily of residential and commercial uses (Category C) along Bristol
Street within the Project limits. As detailed in the Supplemental Technical Noise Study Memorandum
prepared by RBF Consulting (2014), noise abatement in the form of noise barriers, as originally presented
in the 1990 FEIS/EIR, is not required for the Phase ILIA Project using current noise modeling
methodology.
Mitigation Measures
No mitigation is required related to the operational (with -widening) phase of the Project; noise abatement
in the form of noise barriers (sound walls) is no longer required based on the updated Project noise
analysis.
b.) Exposure of persons to or generation of excessive groundborne vibration or groundborne noise
levels?
Refer to response in 3.12 (a.), above. During Project construction, noise associated with construction may
intermittently dominate the noise environment in the immediate area of construction. As described in the
Noise Study Report prepared by URS Corporation (2012c), typical construction equipment for roadway
construction is expected to generate noise levels ranging from 74 to 89 decibels (dB) at a distance of 50
feet. However, no additional adverse noise impacts from construction are anticipated as construction
would comply with the City of Santa Ana Municipal Code, which limits construction noise to the least
noise sensitive portions of the day. Construction equipment would be properly fitted and maintained
according to the manufacturer's specifications. Furthermore, construction noise would be short-term,
temporary, and cease upon completion of the proposed Project. Impacts would be similar to those
identified in the 1990 FEISIEIR with implementation of mitigation measures, as identified in the 1990
FEISIEIR.
Mitigation Measures
No new additional mitigation measures are required.

e.) For a project located within an airport land use plan or, where such a plan has not been adopted,
within two miles of a public airport or public use airport, would the project expose people
residing or working in the project area to excessive noise levels?
The Project site is not located within an airport land use plan. The nearest airport is the John Wayne —
Orange County Airport, located more than five miles from the proposed Project. No impacts would occur.
Impacts would be similar to those identified in the 1990 FEIS/FIR.
Mitigation Measures
No new additional mitigation measures are required.
J.) For a project within the vicinity of a private airstrip, would the project expose people residing or
working in the project area to excessive noise levels?
Refer to response 3.12 (e.), above. The proposed Project is not located within the vicinity of a private
airstrip.
Mitigation Measures
No new additional mitigation measures are required.

ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT REPORT ADDENDUM
Bristol Street Widening Phase 111A — 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 misting 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 FFIS/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/EIR.
Mitigation Measures
No new additional mitigation measures are required.

This section corresponds with Section IV - Environmental Consequences and Mitigation Measures,
Subsections P - Impacts on Community Facilities, and V - Construction Impacts of the 1990 FFIS/EIR.
a.) Fire Protection?
The proposed Project includes the widening of the existing Bristol Street and no increase in demand for
fire protection services would occur with implementation of the proposed Project. Furthermore, the
proposed Project would result in positive impacts as a result of greater congestion relief and increased
mobility in the vicinity for motor vehicles including emergency vehicles. Impacts would be similar to
those identified in the 1990 FEIS/EIR.
Mitigation Measures
No new additional mitigation measures are required.
b.) Police Protection?
Refer to response for Section 3.14 (a.), above. The proposed Project would reduce congestion and traffic
idling times, and therefore, increase mobility of emergency vehicles, including police vehicles. The
proposed Project would not result in the need or increase the demand for police services in the area.
Mitigation Measures
No new additional mitigation measures are required.
c.) Schools?
No schools would be impacted by the proposed Project and no school services would be affected by the
proposed Project (see response to Section 3.8 (c.), above, for information regarding schools in the vicinity
of the Project). Impacts would be similar to those identified in the 1990 FEIS/EIR.
Mitigation Measures
No new additional mitigation measures are required.
d.) Parks?
There are no parks within the Project limits, and no park services would be increased or impacted as a
result of the proposed Project. Impacts would be similar to those identified in the 1990 FEIS/EIR.
Mitigation Measures
No new additional mitigation measures are required.
e.) Other public facilities?
The proposed Project entails the widening of Bristol Street between Civic Center Drive and Washington
Avenue, and would not generate demands for public facilities. hnpacts would be similar to those

Subsection P - Impact on Recreational Facilities, of the 1990 FEIS/EIR.
a.) Would the project increase the use of existing neighborhood and regional parks or other
recreational facilities such that substantial physical deterioration of the facility would occur or
be accelerated?
The proposed Project involves the widening of Bristol Street between Civic Center Drive and Washington
Avenue within a highly urbanized and built -out area in the City of Santa Ana; the widening of Bristol
Street would not induce growth, nor create demand for recreation -related services. Furthermore, the
proposed Project would not result in the physical deterioration of recreational facilities. No mitigation
measures are required with regards to recreational resources. Impacts would be similar to those identified
in the 1990 FEIS/EIR.
Mitigation Measures
No new additional mitigation measures are required.
b.) Does the project include recreational facilities or require the construction or expansion of
recreational facilities that might have an adverse physical effect on the environment?
Refer to response 3.45 (a.), above. The proposed Project does not include, nor would it require,
construction or expansion of recreational facilities. Therefore, no adverse physical impact on the
environment would occur from such facilities as a result of the proposed Project. No mitigation measures
are required. Impacts would be similar to those identified in the 1990 FEIS/EIR.
Mitigation Measures
No new additional mitigation measures are required.
3.16 Transportation/Traffic
This section corresponds with Section IV - Environmental Consequences and Mitigation Measures,
Subsections U - Impacts to Transportation Facilities, and V - Construction Impacts of the 1990 FEIS/EIR.
As stated in Section 1.0, the proposed Project eliminates the dedicated eastbound right -turn lane and
proposes a shared right -turn lane in its place at the intersection of Bristol Street and 17u' Street.
a.) Conflict with an applicable plan, ordinance or policy establishing measures of effectiveness./or
the performance of the circulation system, taking into account all modes of transportation
including mass transit and non -motorized travel and relevant components of the circulation
system, including but not limited to intersections, streets, highways and freeways, pedestrian and
bicycle paths, and mass transit.
The proposed Project is consistent with the applicable plans, ordinances and policies establishing
measures of effectiveness for the performance of the circulation system as described in the 1990
FEIS/EIR. The widening of Bristol Street was designated in the Orange County Master Plan, and was

recommended in the Bristol Street Corridor Study — Final Report prepared by Mohle, Grover &
Associates (1983). It was also recommended in the Arterial Highway Element Santa Ana Element —
Santa Ana Transportation Corridor State lI Alternative Analysis prepared by Parsons, Brinkerhoff,
Quade and Douglas, Inc. (1983). The proposed widening is also consistent with the recommendation
found in the Intercity Liaison Conunittee — Five -Year Transportation Study Update to 1990 prepared by
Basmaciyan-Darnell, Inc. (1985). Furthermore, the proposed Project would improve traffic operations
through the Project corridor. Impacts would be similar to those identified in the 1990 FEIS/EIR.
Mitigation Measures
No new additional mitigation measures are required.
b.) Conflict with an applicable congestion management program, including, but not limited to level
of service standards and travel demand measures, or other standards established by the county
congestion management agency./or designated roads or highways?
The proposed Project would result in an improvement to Bristol Street from Civic Center Drive to
Washington Avenue. Within the Project limits, Bristol Street would be widened from four to six lanes.
The proposed Project includes the addition of a westbound right -turn lane on Washington Avenue at
Bristol Street, and also eliminates the eastbound through movement on Washington Avenue at Bristol
Street to match existing conditions; elimination of this through movement along Washington Avenue
would not result in a reduction in level of service as evaluated in the 1990 FEIS/FIR, The Project would
result in improved traffic flow and LOS along the roadway; therefore, the proposed Project would not
cause the County congestion agency's LOS standards to be exceeded. Impacts would be similar to those
identified in the 1990 FEIS/EIR.
Mitigation Measures
No new additional mitigation measures are required.
c.) Result in a change in air traffic patterns, including either an increase in traffic levels or a
change in location that results in substantial safety risks?
The closest airport to the site is John Wayne — Orange County Airport, located more than five miles
southeast of the Project site; the proposed Project would have no impact on air traffic patterns. The
proposed Project would not introduce any new risks or increase risks. Impacts would be similar to those
identified in the 1990 FEIS/EIR.
Mitigation Measures
No new additional mitigation measures are required.
d.) Substantially increase hazards due to a design feature (e.g., sharp curves or dangerous .
intersections) or incompatible uses (e.g., farm equipment)?
The proposed Project would improve the traffic flow along Bristol Street from Civic Center Drive to
Washington Avenue, and would not create any sharp curves or other incompatible uses. The proposed
Project would not create any significant hazards beyond what was previously analyzed. Impacts would be
similar to those identified in the 1990 FEIS/EIR,

e.) Result in inadequate emergency access?
The proposed Project would improve traffic operations along Bristol Street in the long-term. During the
construction phase traffic flow along Bristol Street within the Project limits could be temporarily affected,
including the mobility of emergency vehicles; however, access, including two-way travel would be
maintained through the Project corridor during construction. Traffic control plans would be prepared prior
to construction to facilitate traffic movement through the Project corridor during construction. Although
the proposed Project may interfere with emergency access in the short-tenn, it would improve emergency
access once the Project is completed. The proposed Project would not result in impacts to emergency
access beyond those previously identified in the 1990 FEIS/EIR.
Mitigation Measures
No new additional mitigation measures are required.
f.) Conflict with adopted policies, plans, or programs regarding public transit, bicycle, or pedestrian
facilities, or otherwise decrease the performance or safety of such facilities?
The proposed Project would not conflict with any alternative transportation plan, and would increase
safety associated with improvements to the traffic operations through the Project corridor. The proposed
Project would not result in impacts greater than as described in the 1990 FEIS/EIR.
Mitigation Measures
No new additional mitigation measures are required.

improve existing drainage flow by constructing properly designed curb and gutter along the edges of
Bristol Street. No new significant impact is anticipated. Impacts would be similar to those identified in
the 1990 FEIS/FIR.
Mitigation Measures
No new additional mitigation measures are required.
d.) Have sufficient water supplies available to serve the project from existing entitlements and
resources, or are new or expanded entitlements needed?
The proposed Project entails the widening of Bristol Street between Civic Center Drive and Washington
Avenue; such improvements would not result in any increase in water demand/consumption. Landscape
improvements, if applicable, would not require any new or expanded water entitlements. The proposed
Project would not create any new significant environmental impact. Impacts would be similar to those
identified in the 1990 FEISIEIR.
Miti ation Measures
No new additional mitigation measures are required.
e.) Result in a determination by the wastewater treatment provider which serves or may serve the
project that it has adequate capacity to serve the projectds projected demand in addition to the
provider's existing commitments?
Refer to response 3.17 (a.) and (b.), above. The proposed roadway widening Project would not result in an
increase in wastewater production. No new significant impact is anticipated. Impacts would be similar to
those identified in the 1990 FEISIEIR.
Mitigation Measures
No new additional mitigation measures are required.
f.) Be served by a landfill with sufficient permitted capacity to accommodate the project's solid
waste disposal needs?
The proposed Project would generate construction waste on a short-term basis. Construction waste that
cannot be recycled would be taken to available landfills. The predominant receiving landfill for the City is
the Frank R. Bowerman Sanitary Landfill at 1i002 Bee Canyon Access Road in Irvine. The landfill,
which is owned and operated by the Orange County Integrated Waste Management Department, opened
in 1990 and is scheduled to operate until approximately 2022. The facility has adequate landfill capacity
to serve the proposed Project and no new significant environmental impact would result from the Project
implementation. Impacts would be similar to those identified in the 1990 FEISIEIR.

ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT REPORTADDENDUM
Bristol Street Widening Phase ILIA — Civic Center Drive to Washington Avenue
Mitigation Measures
No new additional mitigation measures are required.
g.) Comply with federal, state, and local statutes and regulations related to solid waste?
The proposed Project would comply with all applicable federal, state, and local statutes and regulations
related to solid waste. The Project would comply with the City of Santa Ana's established reduction,
reuse, and recycling programs. No new significant solid waste impact would result from the proposed
Project. Impacts would be similar to those identified in the 1990 FEISIEIR.
Mitigation Measures
No new additional mitigation measures are required.
3.18 Mandatory Findings of Significance
Based on this Addendum, the proposed Project has not substantially changed in regard to the setting,
design, impacts, and mitigation measures as described in the 1990 FEISIEIR. New circumstances or new
information, including any new or revised environmental laws, regulations, or policies have not modified
the impacts of the proposed Project.
a.) Does the project have the potential to degrade the quality of the environment, substantially
reduce the habitat of a fish or wildlife species, cause a fish or wildlife population to drop below
self-sustaining levels, threaten to eliminate a plant or animal community, reduce the number or
restrict the range of a rare or endangered plant or animal or eliminate important examples of the
major periods of California history or prehistory?
The proposed Project would not result in impacts beyond those identified in the 1990 Final EIS/EIR in
this regard, and does not have the potential to degrade the environment, reduce the habitat of a fish or
wildlife species, threaten plant or animal communities, reduce or restrict endangered plant or animal
species or eliminate important examples of major periods of California history or prehistory.
b.) Does the project have impacts that are individually limited, but cumulatively considerable?
("Cumulatively considerable" means that the incremental effects of a project are considerable
when viewed in connection with the effects of past projects, the effects of other current projects,
and the effects of probable future projects)?
Given the nature and scope of the proposed Project, and in consideration of mitigation measures that are
included in the 1990 FEISIEIR, the Project would not involve impacts that are cumulatively considerable.
c.) Does the project have environmental effects which will cause substantial adverse effects on
human beings, either directly or indirectly?
Construction -related activities are anticipated to have some relatively minor, temporary impacts which
can be mitigated with implementation of measures included in the 1990 FEISIEIR. Furthermore, potential
long-term (operational) impacts would be reduced to less than significant levels through implementation
of required mitigation measures.

Modified Initial Study Checklist
The following Modified Initial Study Checklist is based on the California Environmental Quality Act
(CEQA) Initial Study Checklist. It is modified to evaluate the proposed Project changes for which
environmental impact reports/statements have previously been completed to assist in the
determination of the need for supplemental environmental documents, in this case, a Subsequent or
Supplemental EIS/EIR or an Addendum under Public Resources Code 21166 and Guideline Sections
15162, 15163, and 15164, respectively. For purposes of this study, references to "the proposal' in the
left hand column questions refer to the modifications to the Project (proposed Project) as compared
the Project improvements evaluated in the 1990 FEIS/EIR.
The first four columns to the right of the modified checklist questions identify whether the proposed
Project changes would result in new impacts, and if so whether these impacts would be less than
significant, less than significant after mitigation, or significant.
The fifth column asks whether or not the impacts associated with Project changes, if any, were
sufficiently disclosed in the previous environmental documents (Not Addressed).
Finally, the last column indicates whether or not a Subsequent or Supplemental EIR is needed.
Moreover, a Subsequent or Supplemental EIR would be needed if there were new significant
unmitigated or substantially more severe impacts which would result from the Project changes and
which were not sufficiently disclosed in the previous environmental documents,
Discussion in support of the conclusions indicated on the checklist is provided in Chapter 3.

process, one or more effects have been adequately analyzed in an earlier EIR or negative declaration. Section
15063(c)(3)(D). In this case a discussion should identify the following on attached sheets:
a) Earlier analyses used. Identify earlier analyses and state where they are available for review.
b) Impacts adequately addressed. Identify which effects from the above checklist were within the scope of and adequately
analyzed in an earlier document pursuant to applicable legal standards, and state whether such effects were addressed by
mitigation measures based on the earlier analysis.
c) Mitigation measures. For effects that are "Less than Significant with Mitigation Incorporated", describe the mitigation
measures which were incorporated or refined from the earlier document and the extent to which they address site -specific
conditions for the project.
Responses to this section are discussed further in Chapter 3.

CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT PROJECT WORKSHEET
PROJECT DESCRIPTION:
The Bristol Street Improvements project was planned and designed to
incorporate complete street concepts with storm drain quality features.
The improvements include widening of the street from four lanes to six
lanes, with bus turnouts, raised median, bike lanes, and sound walls. The
project also brings native and organic landscaping that beautifies a fully
developed urban area.
PROJECT NEED:
Bristol Street from Civic Center to Washington (Phase 3A) is part of the
City's plan to widen Bristol Street from Warner Avenue to Memory Lane,
which was approved by City Council in 1990 and reevaluated in 2015.
Existing roadway has only 2 lanes in each direction and is operating at a
LOS F. This widening is needed to improve traffic flow and create complete
streets features.
