MINUTES: Councilmember Vazquez expressed concern regarding the use of drones during public protests, would like the Police Oversight Commission to have the ability to provide input when creating the drone policy, and expressed concerns regarding the ethics of AXON technology drone usage.     City Council 5 – 21 2/17/2026 CITY COUNCIL 11 FEBRUARY 3, 2026 Mayor Pro Tem Penaloza spoke in favor of the drone program and hoped they can assist with illegal fireworks within the city. He asked whether the drones could be used in police pursuits or to monitor Immigrations and Customs Enforcement (ICE) within the City. Police Chief Robert Rodriguez clarified the drone program would not assist with vehicle pursuits but could step in if the pursuits turns into a foot pursuit and stated that drone use to monitor ICE could be considered interference with a federal operation. City Attorney Sonia R. Carvalho stated that City Attorney’s office would work closely with the Police Department when drafting the policy to address any questions regarding drone monitoring. Mayor Amezcua asked City Attorney Carvalho regarding the possible request by the community to use the drone to monitor ICE and asked for clarification on the difference between the first responder drones and the portable drones. City Attorney Carvalho clarified the policy would limit the use of drones to assist with direct calls for service. Chief Rodriguez explained the first responder drones would be deployed when a call for service is received to provide real time information before officers arrive on the scene and the portable drones are smaller drones that would be kept in a patrol vehicle to be used for confined spaces. Mayor Amezcua asked for clarification regarding “mission creep” and whether the Police Department would provide any footage captured to ICE. Chief Rodriguez stated that “mission creep” prohibits the drone from being used in proactive enforcement, limits the use of the drones to calls for service, and stated that any footage captured is stored by the department and would not be provided to ICE. MOTION: Mayor Pro Tem Penaloza moved to approve the recommended action for Agenda Item No. 15, seconded by Mayor Amezcua. MINUTES: City Attorney Carvalho clarified the City will continue to fully comply with the California Values Act, SB54, to which the only exception would require a lawful order or subpoena. Councilmember Hernandez asked regarding the drone's 49-minute flight limit, its jurisdictional boundaries, and whether the footage constitutes public record. He also raised concerns regarding privacy and ethics of military equipment, questioned the policies protecting First Amendment protest rights, and requested specific details on drone deployment at 17th and Tustin. Finally, he suggested utilizing drones to assist other city departments.     City Council 5 – 22 2/17/2026 CITY COUNCIL 12 FEBRUARY 3, 2026 SUBSTITUTE MOTION: Councilmember Hernandez moved to remand Item No. 15 to the Police Oversight Commission, seconded by Councilmember Vazquez. MINUTES: Chief Rodriguez clarified that while flight times vary by service call, drones do not record in transit to the call of service, and the footage is treated as a public record similar to body-worn cameras. He stated that audit logs will be available to view on a forward-facing website and stated that the use of a drone at the shopping center incident allowed constant aerial monitoring during the 11-hour incident. He also stated that Policy 606 is in place to ensure they are able to exercise their right to protest and that drones do not record when monitoring protests. He confirmed that drones can assist the Fire Department and can only operate beyond city limits to support neighboring jurisdictions when requested. Councilmember Bacerra asked regarding the next steps for finalizing the draft policy should the item pass and stated that the current version addresses most public concerns. He also noted the drone's potential to target illegal fireworks and facilitate de- escalation, including during peaceful protests. Chief Rodriguez stated that the department would take input from the Council and will go through an internal department process to finalize the policy. Mayor Amezcua asked whether the current drone at City events is a city drone that records footage and whether the City is in compliance with California’s military equipment requirement. City Manager Alvaro Nuñez stated the drone belongs to the Parks, Recreation, and Community Services Department and is used to record and photograph promotional footage at city events. City Attorney Carvalho clarified the drone footage would comply with all privacy rights protections in the same way body-worn camera footage is processed for release under a Public Records Act request. Councilmember Hernandez stated that although the Police Department is now in compliance with the California military equipment requirement it was due to the public’s overwhelming request during a council meeting after the protest on June 9, 2025. Chief Rodriguez clarified that action to bring the department into compliance with the California military equipment requirement was put in motion before the protest in June. Councilmember Phan spoke regarding the policy’s issue of privacy, transparency, and accountability. She asked for clarification regarding the requirement for the drone operator to be in “good standing,” whether the drone footage will be handled and managed similar to the footage captured by the body-worn cameras which is from the same manufacturer, whether probable cause limitations apply to the drones, whether the use of visual enhancement technology limitations is consistent with other types of police searches, and whether proactive policing and the drone being equipped with employing lethal force is     City Council 5 – 23 2/17/2026 CITY COUNCIL 13 FEBRUARY 3, 2026 prohibited. Chief Rodriguez clarified that the drone operator will go through an internal review to determine whether they qualify to be a drone operator and clarified the footage will be handled and managed through the same platform as the body-worn cameras. He confirmed the use of visual enhancement technology limitations is consistent with other types of police searches and stated that artificial intelligence is not used for any decision-making rather used for algorithms such as inside structures or in the air with other drones. City Attorney Carvalho confirmed that the drones are still bound by the same probable cause limitations that police officers have. Councilmember Vazquez inquired about potential drone use to intersect criminal activity by other agencies and prosecute those committing the crimes and expressed concern regarding the use of AXON technology. City Attorney Carvalho noted body worn camera or drone footage of crime footage could be used to prosecute those committing a crime. Councilmember Lopez inquired about the determination behind sole source or going through the RFP process and concern for centralized data sharing with third party vendors. Chief Rodriguez reported that the proposed agreement was reviewed and presented in accordance with Municipal Code Section 2-807. Councilmember Phan requested clarification regarding the Santa Ana Police Departments role in an incident where projectiles were deployed and injured protestors, inquired about the disclosure of drone footage with a subpoena, and requested that future items go through the Police Oversight Commission before being presented to the Council. Chief Rodriguez clarified that SAPD was on scene solely to provide coverage to OCFA, while they provided medical care. City Attorney Carvalho reported that most general response drone footage is subject to disclosure with the appropriate redactions, including via a subpoena request.     City Council 5 – 24 2/17/2026 CITY COUNCIL 14 FEBRUARY 3, 2026 SUBTITUTE MOTION: Councilmember Hernandez moved to remand Item No. 15 to the Police Oversight Commission, seconded by Councilmember Vazquez.

Councilmember Penaloza spoke in support of the item. Mayor Amezcua voiced concerns regarding SAPD testifying in front of the Police Oversight Commission. City Attorney Sonia Carvalho clarified the Police Oversight Commission would make recommendations based on reports regarding use of force complaints received from SAPD to the Council, Chief of Police, and City Manager. Chief of Police Robert Rodriguez explained the Police Department has received complaints and a claim against the City regarding use-of-force allegations that are currently pending review to ensure the department’s actions are compliant with all applicable with laws, confidentiality, accordance with the Peace Officers Bill of Rights (POBAR), and civil liability to the City. Mayor Amezcua asked whether having police officers presenting testimony to the Commission puts the City at liability. City Attorney Carvalho explained that presenting to the Commission would mean all parties involved would need to be compliant. Councilmember Vazquez requested police officers who were present at the scenes related to the use-of-force complaints provide reports detailing what occurred and relevant body-worn camera footage be reviewed as part of the reporting process. Councilmember Bacerra preferred allowing the Police Oversight Commission to complete the investigation before the involvement of the Council.

Mayor Amezcua spoke in support of the item with the City Attorney, City Manager, Chief of Police, and herself present for the testimony, inquired who is requesting the reports and reason for them, whether members of the Council are able to present, and whether the meeting would have to become a joint special meeting. City Attorney Carvalho recommended elected officials not attend subordinate commission meetings, however if they do attend, to not participate, and if they would like to participate then suggested holding a joint special meeting with the Council.     City Council 5 – 27 2/17/2026 CITY COUNCIL 17 FEBRUARY 3, 2026 Councilmember Vazquez explained he requested the reports and they are for transparency to the community. Mayor Amezcua suggested all findings from complaints with civilians and police officers should be presented for full transparency. Councilmember Bacerra spoke in opposition to a joint special meeting with the Police Oversight Commission, asked whether complaints regarding SAPD should go before the Commission or Council and if public comments can be made regarding investigations, and the Commission’s process regarding complaints and investigations. Chief Rodriguez explained the Commissioners had already received some complaints, however not all complaints would go to the Commission for review based on the current ordinance, and stated complaints would go before the Commission during a Closed Session meeting and public comments can be made regarding closed session items. City Attorney Carvalho clarified the Police Oversight Commission’s process regarding complaints and investigations. Discussion ensued regarding the process and the item. Councilmember Lopez stated the Council should be present for the meeting to allow for transparency to the community. City Manager Nuñez clarified the process behind the requested item.

It has assisted clients in complex, high-stakes cases across California and the Ninth Circuit, with more than 1,500 appeals litigated and over 150 appearances before the California Supreme Court since 2000. The City seeks to retain Horvitz & Levy LLP because of the excellent work attorney, Justin Sarno, has provided to the City. Mr. Sarno is a certified appellate specialist by the California State Bar’s Board of Legal Specialization. Roughly 1% of California attorneys hold this certification in appellate law. Before joining Horvitz & Levy and while working for a different law firm, Mr. Sarno assisted the City in various litigation matters, proving his superior skills in providing legal services to the residents of Santa Ana. In particular, he successfully defended the City of Santa Ana both at the trial court level and at the appellate level in a high profile case. That case resulted in a published opinion in favor of the City, Cynthia Huerta, et al. v. City of Santa Ana, 39 Cal.App. 5th 41, which concerned whether a particular crosswalk constituted a dangerous condition. The lawsuit arose from a tragic accident on Halloween night in 2014 when a speeding motorist struck and killed three teenagers.     City Council 9 – 1 2/17/2026 Agreement for Legal Services February 17, 2026 Page 2 5 5 8 2 Mr. Sarno has briefed cases before the United States Supreme Court and argued appeals before the California Supreme Court, Ninth Circuit, and all districts within the California Courts of Appeal.

GOVERNMENT CODE §84308 APPLIES: Yes DISCUSSION Santa Ana Municipal Code, Section 2-807(a, e), authorizes the City to make non-bid purchases of services, supplies, materials, and equipment whenever it shall appear that there is only one reasonably available source. Staff researched available procurement options and product offerings in the market and determined that the digital forensic annual license subscription offered by Magnet Forensics, LLC meets the City of Santa Ana Police Department’s specifications. Additionally, recent studies show over 98% of Americans own a cellphone of some kind and 91% of those own a smartphone. With the proliferation of digital device usage, the Police Department needs the tools to be able to unlock iOS and Android devices to obtain and extract evidence efficiently to solve and prosecute criminal cases. The use of this software can and will only be utilized under specific situations. The accessing of digital evidence requires either consent from the owner of the device or judicial processes such as a search warrant. In Orange County, the issuance of a search warrant requires the review and approval of the District Attorney or City Attorney’s Office, and the approval of the sitting Judge from the Orange County Superior Courts.     City Council 11 – 1 2/17/2026 Digital Forensic Annual License Subscription February 17, 2026 Page 2 5 5 7 4 City Council last approved this annual license subscription on February 18, 2025.

Vendor AM Signal, LLC Econolite Control Products, Inc. NexTech Systems, Inc. Western Systems, Inc. Location Littleton, CO Anaheim, CA Irvine, CA Everett, WA GOVERNMENT CODE §84308 APPLIES: Yes DISCUSSION The Public Works Agency Engineering Division (PWA) oversees and maintains the daily operations of the City’s traffic signal systems. The traffic signal system is comprised of 326 traffic signals, 137 Audible Pedestrian Signals, 42 Flashing Beacons, 24 Speed Feedback Signs, 140 video detection systems, 175 emergency vehicle preemption systems, 45 fiber optic network hubs, and a Traffic Management Center (TMC) located at City Hall. Traffic signal control devices are used to operate, manage, and monitor traffic signals and pedestrian safety systems throughout the City. These devices are essential to providing safe and efficient accessibility for motorists, pedestrians, and cyclists traveling on City streets and sidewalks. These traffic signal systems require periodic replacement and enhancement to preserve an efficient and safe operating transportation network.     City Council 12 – 1 2/17/2026 Purchase Order for Traffic Signal Control Devices February 17, 2026 Page 2 5 5 7 1 Traffic devices frequently require replacement due to aging infrastructure, equipment malfunctions, collisions, or the implementation of engineering safety improvements. When a device is compromised, it must be replaced as quickly as possible to minimize impacts to public safety and mobility. Furthermore, these devices are specialized and must be replaced on a like-for-like basis to maintain system compatibility, as they are installed and operated in conjunction with existing infrastructure and designed to function with equipment from the same manufacturers. Continued use of the same product line supports operational consistency, reduces training and maintenance costs, ensures reliable system performance, and promotes efficient long-term asset management. To support the operation and maintenance of these systems, staff requires access to a wide range of traffic signal control devices, electrical materials, supplies, and components. Given the challenges associated with aging infrastructure, staff proactively maintains an inventory of essential supplies at the City’s Corporate Yard to support both routine maintenance and emergency repairs. This level of preparedness helps minimize service disruptions and ensures timely responses to infrastructure issues. In the last three years, the City has spent an average of $170,000 annually on traffic signal control devices and staff recommends increasing the total contract not to exceed limit to $200,000 annually to account for the rising costs of electrical components and devices. The proposed contracts enable staff to obtain traffic signal control devices and supplies from multiple vendors, ensuring access to necessary products at competitive prices. Santa Ana Municipal Code, Section 2-807(a), authorizes the City to make non-bid purchases of supplies, materials, and equipment whenever it shall appear that there is only one reasonably available source. Staff researched available procurement options and product offerings in the market and determined that the traffic signal control devices offered by AM Signal, LLC, Econolite Control Products, Inc., NexTech Systems, Inc., and Western Systems, Inc. meet the City’s specifications. ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT There is no environmental impact associated with this action. FISCAL IMPACT Funding is available in the current FY 2025-26 budget.

GOVERNMENT CODE §84308 APPLIES: Yes EXECUTIVE SUMMARY On January 18, 2022, the City entered into an agreement with Focus Media Group, Inc. (FMG) for bus stop maintenance and advertising, with provisions for the City to receive revenue after deduction for maintenance costs. FMG generally performed contract maintenance well, however, it failed to generate sufficient advertising revenue, resulting in no revenue share to the City. After FMG was acquired by Creative Outdoor Advertising (COA) in June 2024, COA demonstrated strong advertising expertise but limited maintenance capacity. Efforts to increase sales have been successful, yet insufficient to fully cover the maintenance costs. As a result of a competitive procurement process, Staff recommends the City enter into a new agreement with COA to solely provide advertising at City bus stops throughout the City. The agreement would replace the existing advertising and maintenance agreement with FMG. Staff recommends terminating the existing agreement with FMG (now COA) because: 1) the maintenance service levels provided did not result in sufficiently clean locations, 2) none of the expected revenue materialized because the revenue share was net of FMG’s maintenance costs, and 3) resulted in additional expenditures by the City to pay for enhanced maintenance services. The new agreement with COA would allow COA to advertise at bus stops in the City and provide the City with guaranteed minimum revenue of $160,000 per year, however, it will     City Council 13 – 1 2/17/2026 Agreement for Bus Stop Advertising February 17, 2026 Page 2 5 5 0 2 not include a maintenance function. Maintenance at the City’s bus stops will be provided separately through the Clean Cities Program; a more comprehensive program provided through the City’s existing refuse agreement with Republic Services, which includes bus stop cleaning services at no additional cost to the City. Separating advertising services from maintenance responsibilities represents a change from the prior contract structure, however, this approach aligns with industry practice among comparable municipalities and allows each contractor to focus on its core expertise. Under this structure, the City receives guaranteed advertising revenue that is no longer offset by maintenance costs. DISCUSSION The City of Santa Ana is a major user of Orange County Transportation Authority (OCTA) bus services, with 24 active bus routes and 648 bus stops located throughout the City. These routes support an estimated 29,000 average weekday passenger boardings. The Public Works Agency (PWA) is responsible for maintaining all bus stop amenities, including shelters, benches, and trash receptacles. Maintenance activities include routine trash collection and power washing, as well as the repair or replacement of damaged furniture, lighting, and decorative or artistic elements at bus stops. Maintenance needs are not uniform across the City, as certain routes or corridors require more frequent or enhanced maintenance due to higher usage levels and incidents of vandalism. On January 18, 2022, the City Council awarded an agreement to Focus Media Group, Inc. (FMG) for bus shelter maintenance and advertising services. In June 2024, FMG announced that it had been acquired by Creative Outdoor Advertising (COA), which subsequently assumed all of FMG’s contractual agreements, including the agreement with the City. Under the agreement, advertising revenue was intended to fully offset the cost of bus shelter maintenance with any net revenue being remitted to the City on an established revenue-sharing structure. The revenue share agreement would provide the City 25% of gross revenue advertisement sales minus the cost of maintaining the bus stops. However, actual maintenance costs exceeded the level of service that could be supported by the advertising revenue alone, and to date, the City has not received any advertising revenue under this agreement. At the time of the original procurement, the Request for Proposals sought a single contractor to provide bus shelter maintenance, advertising sales, and installation and management of billboards. Under that procurement structure, FMG was effectively the only proposer willing to assume responsibility for the maintenance obligations in addition to advertising services. Major outdoor advertising and billboard companies expressed limited interest in submitting proposals because the solicitation required firms to provide both maintenance and advertising services to bus stops as well as to billboards, whereas many advertising firms specialize solely in advertising sales and asset management at bus stops or at billboards and do not operate maintenance programs.     City Council 13 – 2 2/17/2026 Agreement for Bus Stop Advertising February 17, 2026 Page 3 5 5 0 2 As a result, competition for the contract was limited, and the City’s options were constrained by market realities at the time. Staff’s subsequent experience demonstrated that combining maintenance and advertising responsibilities under a single vendor reduced competition and ultimately contributed to performance challenges. Maintenance service levels ultimately proved insufficient to meet community expectations. On April 1, 2023, the City Council approved a supplemental agreement with FMG to provide expanded maintenance services at a cost not to exceed $250,000 over a two-year term ending on April 1, 2025. Despite these efforts, the City continued to receive more than 200 service requests annually, most related to excessive trash accumulation and unsanitary conditions. As a result, no additional funding was granted to continue this service model, and the supplemental agreement was allowed to expire. In response to these lessons learned, the current procurement intentionally separated maintenance from advertising services. This approach allowed firms specializing in advertising sales to compete without assuming maintenance risk and resulted in proposals better aligned with each firm’s operational strengths while ensuring that maintenance services are provided separately through the City’s existing maintenance programs. COA will be responsible for labor associated with replacing plexiglass panels, while the City will supply the replacement materials, remove graffiti, service the refuse bins, and ensure the bus stops are in clean and sanitary condition. PWA subsequently implemented a revised maintenance strategy focused on improving service delivery while reducing costs. Bus stop maintenance responsibilities were absorbed by existing public works programs, namely, the Clean City Program under the existing refuse agreement with Republic Services at no additional cost to the City, resulting in approximately $125,000 in annual savings. With maintenance services reassigned, PWA issued a Request for Proposals focused solely on bus shelter advertising sales in order to maximize the revenue to the City. Request for Proposals (RFP) No. 25-107 was issued on August 4, 2025 on the City’s online bid management and publication system, PlanetBids. A summary of vendor participation and results is as follows: 859 Vendors notified 1 Santa Ana vendor notified 21 Vendors downloaded the RFP packet 2 Responsive proposals received 0 Responsive proposals received from Santa Ana vendors Proposals were solicited, opened on August 19, 2025, and evaluated. Two proposals were submitted by the RFP deadline and were determined to be responsive to the specifications and they met the City’s requirements.     City Council 13 – 3 2/17/2026 Agreement for Bus Stop Advertising February 17, 2026 Page 4 5 5 0 2 Local Outreach Efforts The Purchasing Division advertised RFP No. 25-107 on the City’s online bid management and publication system, which directly notified two Santa Ana vendors. No Santa Ana vendors downloaded the RFP or submitted a bid for consideration. An evaluation committee reviewed and rated the proposals based on qualifications, experience with bus shelter advertising, proposed profit-sharing structure, and references. Based on this evaluation, the firms were ranked as follows: Firm City Rank Creative Outdoor Advertising of America Inc.Sherman Oaks, California 1 My Emerald Hands LLC San Diego, California 2 Staff recommends awarding an agreement to the highest ranking firm, Creative Outdoor Advertising of America, Inc. (COA) (Exhibit 1). COA, a privately held company established in 1984, employs approximately 120 full- and part-time staff and operates public amenity advertising programs across more than 300 municipalities in North America. The company manages over 45,000 advertising units and serves thousands of clients across local, regional, and national markets. Company materials and investor statements indicate that COA has expanded significantly over the past decade, managing tens of thousands of advertising units across more than 300 municipalities and achieving notable financial performance improvements under previous ownership, including an increase in Earnings Before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation, and Amortization (EBITDA). COA’s proposal emphasizes maximizing advertising revenue through data-driven sales strategies. The firm will proactively identify and pursue potential advertisers and provide auditable monthly reports detailing advertising sales, occupancy rates, and total revenue generated. In addition, COA will implement a comprehensive digital management system to oversee advertising operations, including the use of barcodes and scanners to uniquely identify and track each advertising location and asset citywide. COA’s revenue projections are based on 160 advertising units with 320 advertising faces. Staff reviewed the assumptions supporting these projections, including anticipated occupancy rates, market advertising rates, and COA’s demonstrated experience selling advertising in comparable municipal markets. Staff also evaluated current utilization of advertising space in Santa Ana and determined the projections to be reasonable and achievable under current market conditions. Most importantly, the agreement provides the City with a Minimum Annual Guarantee (MAG) of $160,000 regardless of actual advertising performance, ensuring predictable revenue even if projections are not fully realized. The proposed revenue-sharing structure provides the City with either a MAG of $160,000, paid in equal monthly installments, or 55% of gross advertising revenue, whichever is greater, regardless of advertising performance, provided the minimum inventory of 160 advertising units and 320 advertising faces is maintained.     City Council 13 – 4 2/17/2026 Agreement for Bus Stop Advertising February 17, 2026 Page 5 5 5 0 2 Unlike the prior agreement, the proposed agreement does not allow maintenance costs to be deducted from advertising revenues, nor does it reduce payments to the City if COA’s revenue projections are not met, provided the minimum inventory of 160 advertising units and 320 advertising faces is maintained. The City currently meets the minimum inventory and has more bus shelters planned for installation this year, further strengthening our capacity to maintain minimum advertising faces. At minimum, the City will receive $160,000 annually with the potential for higher revenues if advertisement sales exceed the guaranteed amount (MAG). The proposed agreement structure establishes clear financial incentives for COA to actively pursue advertising sales and maximize program revenue. Under the agreement, COA is responsible for all advertising sales activities and is compensated through advertising revenue, while the City receives either a MAG or a percentage of gross advertising revenue, whichever is greater. Because COA’s financial return increases only when advertising occupancy and rates increase, the agreement inherently incentivizes the contractor to actively market available advertising space, pursue higher-value advertising contracts, and maintain high occupancy rates. The agreement also requires regular reporting of advertising activity, occupancy rates, and revenue performance, allowing Staff to monitor program performance and address any issues promptly. The contractor’s continued success under the agreement depends on maintaining strong relationships with advertisers, demonstrating reliable service delivery, and consistently filling advertising inventory with paying clients. By separating maintenance responsibilities from advertising operations, the revised structure allows the contractor to focus exclusively on advertising performance. This focused responsibility, combined with guaranteed payments to the City and performance transparency, creates ongoing motivation for the contractor to innovate marketing approaches, pursue premium advertisers, and maximize revenue generation throughout the term of the agreement. ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT There is no environmental impact associated with this action. FISCAL IMPACT Revenues from this agreement will be budgeted in the General Fund-Public Works Revenues, Bus Shelter Fees revenue account (No. 01117002-51004). Future revenues will be budgeted in the General Fund-Public Works Revenues, Bus Shelter Fees revenue account (No. 01117002-51004) and appropriated in the General Fund-Bus Shelter Program-Service Enhancement expenditure accounting unit (No. 01117621).     City Council 13 – 5 2/17/2026 Agreement for Bus Stop Advertising February 17, 2026 Page 6 5 5 0 2 Fiscal Year Accounting Unit- Account # Fund Description Accounting Unit, Account Description Amount FY 25-26 (Feb-June) 01117002- 51004 Public Works Revenues Bus Shelter Fees $65,000 FY 26-27 01117002- 51004 Public Works Revenues Bus Shelter Fees $160,000 FY 27-28 01117002- 51004 Public Works Revenues Bus Shelter Fees $160,000 FY 28-29 (July-Feb) 01117002- 51004 Public Works Revenues Bus Shelter Fees $95,000 Subtotal $480,000 Optional Two, 1-Year Extensions FY 28-29 (Feb-June) 01117002- 51004 Public Works Revenues Bus Shelter Fees $65,000 FY 29-30 01117002- 51004 Public Works Revenues Bus Shelter Fees $160,000 FY 29-30 (Jul-Feb) 01117002- 51004 Public Works Revenues Bus Shelter Fees $95,000 Subtotal $320,000 TOTAL $800,000 EXHIBIT(S) 1.Agreement with Creative Outdoor Advertising of America Inc.

GOVERNMENT CODE §84308 APPLIES: No     City Council 14 – 1 2/17/2026 Bristol Street and Memory Lane Intersection Improvements February 17, 2026 Page 2 5 5 3 1 DISCUSSION The Bristol Street and Memory Lane Intersection Improvements Project (No. 17-6883) will add a new right-turn pocket in the southbound travel lane of Bristol Street, north of Memory Lane. Proposed intersection improvements include relocating curb/gutter, sidewalk, driveway approaches, and public/private utilities along a 350 foot section to accommodate the new right-turn pocket on south bound Bristol Street, north of Memory Lane. Once completed, these improvements will complement recently completed improvements from Memory Lane to Santa Clara Avenue resulting in a completed intersection, enhancing the roadway capacity, ride quality, and visual appearance of the Bristol Street corridor. The proposed Bristol Street and Memory Lane intersection improvement project is the last remaining corridor improvement project that will finalize and complete the Bristol Street Widening Project initiated in January of 2000. Project History The Bristol Street Widening Project was planned as a long-term Capital Improvement Project to be completed in multiple phases as funding becomes available. The initial phases (Phases 1 and 2) were completed in 2002 and included improvements from St. Andrew Place to McFadden Avenue and from Elm Street to Memory Lane. Since then, additional enhancements have been completed at key intersections, including Bristol Street and Warner Avenue, Bristol Street and 171h Street, as well as segments between McFadden Avenue and Civic Center Drive, and from Washington Avenue to 18th Street. On September 17, 2024, the City Council approved the construction contract award for Bristol Improvements Phase 3, covering Civic Center Drive to Washington Avenue, which is near completion. On March 4, 2025, the City Council approved the construction contract award for Bristol Street Improvements Phase 4, covering Warner Avenue to St. Andrew Place, and is currently under construction. With the approval of this final project and the current construction of Phase 3 and Phase 4 well underway and on schedule, Staff anticipates that the Bristol Street Widening Project that was initiated by the City in 2000 will be completed by December 2026. Grant Funding This project was funded through a matching grant program. At the time of application in 2023, the total estimated project cost was $2,002,640, with 75% ($1,501,900) requested from and awarded by the Orange County Transportation Authority (OCTA) under the Measure M2 Comprehensive Transportation Funding Program (CTFP), and 25% ($500,740) provided as the required local match. The City received the full amount requested from OCTA. As reflected in the results of the competitive bidding process, the project’s actual total delivery cost is $2,362,238, due to market conditions. The OCTA grant amount is capped at the awarded level; per OCTA guidelines, pursuing additional funding would require canceling the existing award and reapplying the following grant cycle, adding at     City Council 14 – 2 2/17/2026 Bristol Street and Memory Lane Intersection Improvements February 17, 2026 Page 3 5 5 3 1 least a 12 month delay with no guarantee that a new application would be awarded. In order to complete and deliver the project under current market conditions, an additional $359,598 in local funds is necessary to cover the difference. Project Advertisement and Contractor Procurement To provide local vendors with an opportunity to submit bids, the City notified 88 regional vendors via PlanetBids, many of whom are Santa Ana-based. Furthermore, staff specifically contacted Santa Ana vendors to encourage their participation in bids. A total of three (3) bids were received. No bids were received from Santa Ana contractors. As required by law, a Notice Inviting Bids was advertised in the Orange County Register on October 10, 2025, and October 14, 2025. The project was also advertised in PlanetBids from October 1, 2025, to October 17, 2025. Bids were received electronically via PlanetBids on October 17, 2025. No bid protests were submitted by any bidders during the bid protest period. A copy of construction plans, contracts, specifications, and all related reference materials (such as The Greenbook) is available for public review at the City’s Public Works Agency, Central Files office located in City Hall.

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 December 5, 2017, pursuant to the California Environmental Act (Exhibit 4). The proposed project complies with the adopted Environmental Impact Report. FISCAL IMPACT As indicated in the Cost Analysis, the estimated total construction delivery cost of the project is $2,362,228. All funds are available for expenditure in Fiscal Year 2025-26. Any remaining balances not expended at the end of the fiscal year will be carried forward into Fiscal Year 2026-2027. The proposed contract authorizes staff a maximum of 10% for construction contract change orders for unanticipated or unforeseen work. Staff will return to the City Council for authorization and appropriation of additional contingency if necessary. Approval of the requested appropriation adjustment will recognize $200,000 from the spendable fund balance in the Public Works Water Revenue and Water Utility Capital, Transfer from Fund 060 revenue account, and appropriate the same amount to the     City Council 14 – 5 2/17/2026 Bristol Street and Memory Lane Intersection Improvements February 17, 2026 Page 6 5 5 3 1 Water – Interfund Transfer, Transfer to Fund 066, and Acquisition & Construction, Water Utility Capital Projects, Water Capital Project expenditure account.

City Council 14 – 30 2/17/2026 ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT REPORT ADDENDUM Bristol Street and Memory Lane Intersection Improvements —Project No. 17-6883 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/ Environmental Impact Report No. 89-01 (FEIS/EIR) approved in 1990 (FHWA-CA-EIS-89-01-F; State Clearinghouse [SCH] No. 87071509). This Addendum focuses on the intersection of Bristol Street and Memory Lane (the Project), situated in the northern segment of the Bristol Street Widening Project This Addendum provides an assessment of potential environmental impacts associated with minor design modifications and the issues of climate change and tribal cultural resources which were not specifically addressed in the previously certified FEIS/IIR. Design modifications to the Project, since approval of the 1990 FEIS/EIR, that are addressed in this Addendum include the following: The original approved 1990 FEIS/EIR proposed the same intersection lane configuration as that proposed. As shown on Exhibit 5, the 1990 FEIS/EIR considered a 117 -foot ROW width in order to accommodate the additional third through lane, specifically for the southbound travel lane However, no specific take of adjoining properties was acknowledged although the existing ROW is only 100 feet Thus, the Project changes clarify that in order to accommodate a third -through lane, the Project requires to widen the existing street right-of-way (ROW) width of 100 feet to 111 feet, with the street section width from 84 feet to 95 feet, and the partial acquisition of three properties. Although the proposed lane configuration was analyzed in the 1990 FE IR, necessary partial ROW acquisition to accommodate this configuration was not considered. Proposed ROW acquisition would be required on the west side of Bristol Street, north of the intersection of Bristol Street and Memory Lane Refer to Section 1.4.2, Proposed Property Acainsition, for a detailed description and mapping of these new areas of acquisition. These Assessor Parcel Numbers (APNs) include 002-261-06, - 29, and -30. Areas of proposed ROW acquisition consists of vacant land, ornamental landscaping, and areas of paved driveway; no modification/demolition of habitable structures would be required as part of these new partial acquisitions to accommodate the Project The Project would also accommodate a bike lane and relocate the existing perimeter fencing along Bristol Street and may include an extension of the existing storm water pipeline system (located on the eastern side of Bristol Street) through a new lateral connection and new catch basin at the Project site. Additionally, the topics of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions and tribal cultural resources were not specifically identified in the previously approved 1990 FEIS/EIR as these topics were 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, as well as the Project's potential to affect tribal cultural resources. This Addendum to the previously certified 1990 FE IIR 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 FIR under the requirements CEQA (refer to CEQA Guidelines Sections 15162 and 15163, respectively). 1. 1 PURPOSE OF AN ADDENDUM Under CEQA, when an FIR has been certified for a project, no Subsequent EIR may be required for that project unless the lead agency deternines, based upon substantial evidence, that one or more specked circumstances has occured. Only if one or more of the following circumstances arises is a Subsequent EIR required, pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Section 15162: Final I December 2017 1- 1 Introduction     City Council 14 – 31 2/17/2026 ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT REPORT ADDENDUM Bristol Street and Memory Lane Intersection Improvements - Project No. 17-6883 1. Substantial charges are proposed in the project which will require major revision of the previous EIR due to the involvement ofrewsignifical environmental effects or asubstontial increase in the severity ofpreviously identifiedsigniticant effects; 2. Substantial charges occur with respect to the circumstances uruler which the project is unrkrtaken which will require major revision of the previous EIR due to the involvement of new sigruficmrt environmental increase in the severity ofpreviously identified significant effects, or 3. New information ofsubstantial importance, which was not knamn and could at have been known with the exercise of reasonable diligence of the time the previous EIR was certified as complete, shows any of the following: A) The project will have one or more signal effects not discussed in the previous SIR; B) Signifeaht effects previously exatu ed will be substantially more severe than shown in the previous EIR, C) Afifigabon measures or alternatives previously fourd not to be feasible would in fact be feasible, and would substantially reduce ore or more significant effects ofthe project, but the project proponents decline to adopt the mitigation measure or alterative; or D) Magadan measures or alternatives which are consirkrably different from those analyzed in the previous EIR would substantially reduce ors or more sighificat effects on the environ- ment, but the project proponents akctine to adopt the mitigation measure or alternative. CEQA Guiktires Section 15162[x]) A Supplement to an FIR (or Supplemental EIR), which is naurower in scope than a Subsequent EIR, may be prepared if any of the above criteria apply, but `only 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 ofte conditions described in Section 15162 calling for preparation ofa subsequent EIR have occurred b) An addendum to an adopted negative akclaration may be prepared if only minor technical changes or aldttions are necessary or none of the conditions alescribed in Section 15162 catling for the preparation ofa subsequent EIR or negative a i claration have occurred. c) An addendum reed at be circulated for public review but can be inclnakd in or attached to the final EIR or adopted negative a i claration. d) The dectsion-making body shall consider the adaknaLm with the final EIR or adopted negative akclaration prior to making a akcision on the project e) A briefexplaralion of the a i cision not to prepare a subsequent EIR pursuant to Section 15162 should be incluakd in an addendum to an EIR, the lead agency'sfindings on the project, or elsewhere in the record. The explanation must be supported by substantial eviaknce. This Addendum to the previously certified FEIS/EIR for the approved Bristol Street Widening Project has been prepared because the evaluation of the proposed modifications does notresult in any of the circumstances requiring a Subsequent or Supplemental EIS/EIR. 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. Section 22_0 Environmental Checklist and Section 3.0, Environmental Consequences, of this Addendum demonstrate that no substantial changes would result from the proposed Project modifications nor have the existing conditions in the Final I December 2017 1-2 Introduction     City Council 14 – 32 2/17/2026 ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT REPORT ADDENDUM Bristol Street and Memory Lane Intersection Improvements —Project No. 17-6883 Project vicinity substantially changes such that major revisions to the previously certified 1990 FEIS/IIR would be required. The Project would not result in a new significant environmental effect or a substantial increase in the severity of previously identified significant effects. Specifically, the proposed modifications, as compared to the 1990 FEIS/EIR, 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 FEIS/EIR 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 Bristol Street Widening 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 FE IIR 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 altematives that would substantially reduce one or more significant impacts of the approved Bristol Street Widening Project but that are not adopted. The proposed modifications do not identify or require adoption of any further mitigation measures or altematives beyond those provided in the certified 1990 FE IIR for the approved Bristol Street Widening Project, since additional mitigation measures are either not necessary or not feasible, and the altematives analyzed in the 1990 FE IR represent a reasonable range as required pursuant to CEQA (see CEQA Guidelines Section 15162[a][ 3]). This Addendum relies on the certified 1990 FEIS/EIR and the related administrative record, in addition to the additional documentation included to support the Addendum. The Addendum is to be included or attached to the 1990 FEIS/FIR 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 will provide a 30 -day public notice for Public Hearing at which time the City Council will consider and adopt or reject this Addendum (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 the decision not to prepare a Subsequent or Supplemental FIR (refer to CEQA Guidelines Section 15164[e]). 1.2 PROJECT LOCATION The proposed Project includes the intersection of Bristol Street and Memory Lane in the City of Santa Ana ( City). The City, located within the County of Orange, is surounded by the cities of Tustin, Orange, Costa Mesa, Fountain Valley, and Garden Grove The Project site is located approximately 0.73 mile west of Interstate 5 (I-5) and approximately 0.25 mile south of State Route 22 (SR -22); refer to Exhibit 1 Regional Vicinity. and Exhibit 2tete Ficin . The Project area and surrounding vicinity are located within an urbanized area of the City. Existing land uses near the Project site consist of multi- and single-family residential uses, commercial uses, and vacant land. These surrounding land uses are further described as follows: North: Bristol Street continues north of the Project site Commercial uses (a small strip -mall with neighborhood serving retail uses are located to the northwest and Floral Park Promenade is located to the northeast). These properties are designated by the General Plan as Low Density Residential (LR -7) and General Commercial (GC), respectively, and both properties are zoned by the Municipal Code as Community Commercial (Cl).

Further southeast of Shell, single-family residential uses (designated LR -7 and zoned Single -Family Residence [R1]) arepresent South: Bristol Street continues south of the Project site Commercial uses (die Shell gasoline service station located to the south and southeast and a strip -mall with neighborhood serving retail uses located to the south and southwest) are present All of these properties are designated GC and zoned Cl. Further southeast of Shell, Casa de Santiago single-family residential uses (designated LR -7 and zoned RD are present West Memory Lane continues west of the Project site Vacant land ( designated GC and zoned Cl) is situated to the west of the Project site and further west is the Portofino Apartments (designated LR -7 and zoned Specific Development [SD27]). Islander Apaurnents (designated LR -7 and zoned CD are situated to the west and northwest of the Project site As shown on Exhibit 3, Exi tine Land Uses (1990 FEISIEIR), these land uses have not substantially changed since preparation of the 1990 FEIS/EIR. It is acknowledged that the 1990 FEIS/EIR did not include land uses north of Memory Lane in the applicable figures. In order to provide information on land uses north of Memory Lane, Exhibit 3 also identifies these curent land uses. These curent land uses have not substantially changed since the 1990 FEIS/IIR, as the 1990 FEIS/EIR considered the surounding land uses to include a mix of commercial and residential development 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 Highway 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 Bristol Street Widening Project entailed a 3.9 -mile segment of Bristol Street from Warner Avenue to Memory Lane The Project site is situated within the northem-most portion of Bristol Street, previously analyzed in the 1990 FEIS/EIR as the segment from Seventeenth Street to Memory Lane However, due to significant costs associated with construction and availability of funding the Bristol Street Widening Project was divided into multiple segments and phases, compared to that analyzed in the 1990 FEIS/EIR: Phase 1, from McFadden Avenue to Pine Street; Phase II, from 3`tl Street to Civic Center; Phase IIIA, from Civic Center to Washington Avenue; Phase 11113, from Washington Avenue to 17a' Street; and Phase IV, from Warner Avenue to St Andrew Place The Bristol Street Widening segments operate independently; operation of one segment is not dependent on another. It is acknowledged that prior to dividing the Bristol Street Widening Project for funding purposes, construction of some sections was completed and was not included in the phasing described above, including the following: St Andrew Place to McFadden Avenue; Elm Street to Memory Lane; and Pine Street to 3`6 Street The segment between 17a' Street and Elm Street is not funded; therefore, no phasing has been identified.

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 FEIS/EIR, 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). 1.4 PROJECT DESCRIPTION 1.4.1 PROPOSED INTERSECTION IMPROVEMENTS The City proposes the widening of Bristol Street, just north of Memory Lane, to accommodate a third southbound through lane at the intersection; refer to Exhibit 4, Proposed Zorn Geometrics. This additional through lane would result in the relocation of the existing dedicated right -tum lane slightly west The proposed widening would involve the partial acquisition of three parcels in order to accommodate the new total ROW widths (proposed to expand from 100 feet to 111 feet). The proposed intersection improvements would require relocation of curb/gutter, sidewalk, driveway approaches, and both public and private utilities (including the existing traffic signal). Existing perimeter fencing along Bristol Street would also be relocated and replaced in-kind with a similar aesthetic Treatment. Due to the existing building setback requirements, the Project would require approval from the City Manager for landscape strip Exceptions for building setbacks per Municipal Code Section 41-781. The Project proposes a 12 -month construction period (anticipated to be completed by December 2019). At least one lane in each direction of travel would remain open and existing driveway access along Bristol Street and Memory Lane would be retained at all times. The maximum excavation depth would be two feet for roadway excavation, and approximately 10 feet or less for utility footings/excavation. Approximately 30 cubic yards of cut material is anticipated to be exported. Other improvements may include a new stormwater catch basin and a new lateral connection to the existing stormwater pipeline in Bristol Street 1.4.2 PROPOSED PROPERTY ACQUISITION As listed in Table 1 Proposed Property Acquisition, a total of three Assessor's Parcel Numbers (APNs) (002-261- 06, -29, and -30) would be partially acquired as a result of the proposed intersection improvements; refer to Exhibit 4. All proposed areas of acquisition include vacant portions of commercial and multi -family residential properties. Thesevacant areas consist of bare soils, paving/asphalt, or omamental landscaping. 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.

As discussed in Section 1.3.1 Approved 1990 Final FIR/FIS. construction phasing of the entire Bristol Street Widening Project has been further subdivided as follows: SL Andrew Place to McFadden Avenue(Constructed in 2002); Elm Street to Memory Lane (Constructed in 2003); Pine Street to 3`a Street (Constructed in 2009); Phase I: McFadden Avenue to Pine Street (Constructed in 20111); Phase II: 3`6 Street to Civic Center Drive (Constructed in 2014); PhaseIIIA: Civic Center Drive to Washington Avenue; Phase 11113: Washington Avenue to 17a Street hinder construction); Phase IV Warner Avenue to St Andrew Place; and Phase V: 17v' Street to Elm Street The proposed intersection improvements (proposed Project addressed herein) differs from the original configuration of the 1990 FEIS/IIR, as follows: As shown on Exhibit 4 and Exhibit 5 Bristol S/reetl1kmory Lane Intersection Confleurrdion (1990 FEISIEIR), the original approved 1990 FEIS/EIR proposed the same intersection lane configuration as that proposed. As shown on Exhibit 5, the 1990 FEIS/EIR considered a 117 -foot ROW width in order to accommodate the additional third through lane, specifically for the southbound travel lane However, no specific take of adjoining properties was acknowledged although the existing ROW is only 100 feet Thus, the Project changes clarify that in order to accommodate a third -through lane, the Project requires to widen the existing street ROW width of 100 feet to 111 feet, with the street section width from 84 feet to 95 feet, and the partial acquisition of three properties. Although the proposed lane configuration was analyzed in the 1990 FE IR, necessary partial ROW acquisition to accommodate this configuration was not considered. Proposed ROW acquisition would be required on the west side of Bristol Street, north of the intersection of Bristol Street and Memory Lane. As depicted on Exhibit 5 Nese Assessor Parcel Numbers (APNs) include 002-261-06, -29, and -30. Areas of proposed ROW acquisition consist of vacant land, omamental landscaping and areas of paved driveway; no modification/demolition of habitable structures would be required as part of these new partial acquisitions to accommodate the Project The Project would also accommodate a bike lane and relocate the existing perimeter fencing along Bristol Street and may include an extension of the existing stomp water pipeline system (located on the eastem side of Bristol Street) through a new lateral connection and new catch basin at the Project site An assessment of construction and Project -related GHG emissions and potential impacts to tribal cultural resources 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. The Project proposes a 12 -month construction period (anticipated to be completed by December 2019). However, it is acknowledged that the Project could be constructed in multiple phases, depending on funding. 1 Phase numbers were assigned to the Bristol Street Widening Project subsequent to cancelation of the CenterLine Light Rail Transit Project and associated reallocation of funding from that canceled project to the Bristol Street Widening Project.

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. 1.6 CLARIFICATIONS TO THE ADDENDUM UPON CERTIFICATION As documented throughout Section 3.0, Environmental Consequences, the project does not involve substantial changes, such that major revisions to the previously approved 1990 FEIS/EIR are required. Substantial changes with respect to circumstances have not resulted. No new information of substantial importance has occurred. The project would not result in new or more significant impacts than what was previously considered. Previously identified significant impacts would not be substantially increased as a result of the project. No new mitigation measures would be required. Thus, the City of Santa Ana, as the Lead Agency, has determined that 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 (CEQA Guidelines Sections 15162 and 15163, respectively). As this Addendum does not identify new or substantially greater significant impacts, a 30 -day circulation for public review and comment is not necessary pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Section 15164(c) and was not conducted. However, it is acknowledged that the City provided a 10 -day public notice for Public Hearing, at which time the City Council considered the Addendum for certification. One public comment letter regarding the project was submitted at the Public Hearing (conducted on December 5, 2017) by Mr. Mark Rosen. The comment letter did not specifically include any comments pertaining to the content or adequacy of the Addendum. The Addendum was certified on December 5, 2017 (pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Section 15164[d]). The findings of the City Council in its resolution of adoption of this Addendum reflect this Addendum, which provides the basis and substantial evidence for the decision not to prepare a Subsequent or Supplemental FIR (refer to CEQA Guidelines Section 15164[e]), and, thus, no further action is required. On December 5, 2017, City Council authorized City Manager to approve an exception to the landscape strip setback per Municipal Code Section 41-781. The approved landscape exception is shown in Exhibit 6 Memorandum. Final I December 2017 1-12 Introduction     City Council 14 – 42 2/17/2026 MEMORANDUM Raul Godinez II, City Manager To: City Manager Office Date: Fred Mousavipour, Executive Directo From: Public Works Agency kA - Subject: December 5, 2017 PROJECT NO. 17-6883 Bristol Street and Memory Lane Intersection Widening—Requirement of Landscape Strip Project background: Bristol Street is classified as a north -south Major Arterial per the City's General Plan Circulation Element (GPCE) and the County of Orange's Master Plan of Arterial Highway (MPAH). Currently, the segments to the south and north of the Bristol Street/Memory Lane intersection have 3 lanes in each direction except for the southbound lanes just north of Memory Lane where is has only 2 southbound lanes. The Bristol Street/Memory Lane intersection project is proposed to accommodate a third southbound through lane just north of Memory Lane (Exhibit A). This additional through lane would result in the relocation of the existing dedicated right -turn lane slightly west. The proposed widening would involve the partial acquisition of three parcels in order to accommodate the new total ROW widths from 100 feet to 111 feet. As a result of the widening, the back of new sidewalk is measured approximately 11 feet from the patio fence at 1313 W. Memory Lane and 12 feet to 14 feet from the entrance structure at 2724 N. Bristol Street (Exhibit B & Q. According to Municipal Code Section 41-781, Requirement of landscape strip as part of street widening, the following applies: a) Whenever city acquires a portion of parcel along street frontage for a street widening or other public works project, the city shall also acquire an interest in the real property sufficient to allow a landscape -only strip behind the sidewalk that is of a width that conforms to the then current city standard for the parcel. b) The city manager may authorize exceptions to this section on a case-by-case basis, in consultation with the city council. The current city standard requires a landscape setback of 15 feet. To avoid full acquisitions of 1313 W. Memory Lane and 2724 N.

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, Modifiedlnifial &udv Checklist 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/fraffrc Tribal Cultural Resources Utilities/Service Systems Mandatory Findings of Significance A summary of impacts of the previously approved Bristol Street Widening 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 coresponds with the following 1990 FEIS/EIR, Section IV, Emironmental Consequences and Mfigation Measures, subsections: Subsection A, Landform Aloddiication; Subsection G, Urban Landscaping; Subsection J, Light and Glare; and Subsection K, Aesthetic Considerations. Would the project: a) Have ¢substantial adverse effect on ¢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. Existing land use near the Project site consists of multi- and single-family residential uses, commercial uses, and vacant land. No scenic vistas are located within the Project area. No impact to scenic vistas would result from the proposed Project Certified 1990 FRIS/EIR Mitigation Measures: No 1990 FEIS/EIR mitigation measures are applicable Mitigation Measures: No additional mitigation measures are required. Final I December 2017 3-1 Environmental Consequences     City Council 14 – 49 2/17/2026 ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT REPORT ADDENDUM Bristol Street and Memory Lane Intersection Improvements —Project No. 17-6883 b) Substantially damage scenic resources, including, but nat limited to, trees, rock outcroppings, and hdstorlc buildings radius a state scenic highway? State Route 91 is located approximately 10 miles north-east of the Project site The Project would not be visible from SR -91. No impacts would occur in this regard. Certified 1990 FRIS/RIR Mitigation Measures: No 1990 FEIS/EIR mitigation measures are applicable Mitigation Measures: No additional mitigation measures are required. C) Substantially degrade the existing visual character or quaiity ofthe she audits surroundings? The proposed Project is located in a highly -urbanized area of the City of Santa Ana. The Project would widen the existing roadway ROW from 100 feet to 111 feet, resulting in additional property take for the purposes of roadway use These changes in character would be similar to those analyzed in the 1990 FEIS/EIR. Per the 1990 FEIS/EIR Mitigation Measures G-1 and G-2, the Project would be compatible with the Bristol Street Widening Project landscaping theme and a Xeriscape (climate appropriate landscaping) program would be considered. Existing perimeter fencing along Bristol Street would be relocated and replaced in-kind with a similar aesthetic treatment These changes in character/quality would be nominal, compared to that previously considered. As such, the proposed Project would not result in substantially greater impacts than previously analyzed in the 1990 FEIS/EIR. Certified 1990 FRIS/RIR Mitigation Measures: G-1 A consistent theme will be developed and implemented for the landscaping within the public right-of- way for Bristol Street as a part of the street widening project G-2 Consideration will be given to the implementation of a Xeriscape landscaping program. Such a program would involve the use of low -maintenance, drought -tolerant plantmaterials, thereby reducing long -tern costs for maintenance and water consumption. Mitigation Measures: No additional mitigation measures are required. d) Create a new source of substantial light or glare, which would adversely affect day or nighttime views in the area? Light and glare are curentiy 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 habitable structures. Relocation of the street lighting fixtures would occur. Therefore, no new sources of light orglare would resultwith implementation of the proposed Project The proposed Project would not generate additional daytime or nighttime illumination beyond that curentiy experienced within the area. The relocation of the traffic signal pole would be required to meet the Citywide Design Guidelines and the 1990 FEIS/EIR Mitigation Measure J-1 pertaining to cut-off shielding techniques. With compliance with the 1990 FEIS/EIR mitigation, the proposed Project would notresult in greater impacts than previously analyzed in the 1990 FIIS/IIR. Certified 1990 FRIS/RIR Mitigation Measures: J-1 Consideration will be given to the selection of new street fixtures which have cut-off shields to minimize light and glare nuisances for residential properties adjoining Bristol Street Mitigation Measures: No additional mitigation measures are required. i California Department of Transportation, California Scenic Highway Mapping S},,tem, http://www.dot.ca.gov/ hq/LandAwh/16 livability/scenic highways/index.htm, accessed August 30, 2017.

Final I December 2017 3- 4 Environmental Consequences     City Council 14 – 52 2/17/2026 ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT REPORT ADDENDUM Bristol Street and Memory Lane Intersection Improvements —Project No. 17-6883 The 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 SIPS for achieving the NAAQS. The FHWA determined the RTIP to conform to the SIP. The proposed widening of Bristol Street, from Memory Lane to 17r Street 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 December 16, 2016. No significant impacts would occur. Implementation of the proposed Project would not result in greater impacts than previously analyzed in the 1990 FEIS/EIR. 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 2.5 microns in diameter or less (PMzs) and attainment/maintenance for carbon monoxide (CO) and particulate matter 10 microns in diameter or less PM1o. The South Coast Air Quality Management District (SCAQMD) developed regional emissions thresholds to 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). 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, maintain vehicle capacity, reduce idling and result in a reduction in air pollutant emissions as was previously analyzed in the 1990 FEIS/EIR. Thus, no new or substantial increase of impacts have been identified and no new mitigation measures are required. Certifled 1990 FEIS/FIR Mitigation Measures: No 1990 FEIS/EIR mitigation measures are applicable Mitigation Measures: No additional new mitigation measures are required. b) violate my air quality standard or contribute substmrtiaIIy to an existing or projected air quaffiy violation? All proposed areas of acquisition include vacant portions of commercial and multi -family residential properties. These vacant areas consist of dirt, paving/asphalt or omamental landscaping. The Project proposes to change the existing street section from a total ROW width of 100 feet to 111 feet, which is a nominal increase over what was previously analyzed in the 1990 FEIS/EIR. No structure modification/demolition would be required as part of these new partial acquisitions to accommodate the Project As determined in the 1990 FEIS/EIR, short -tern construction emissions from the Project would be below the SCAQMD's significance thresholds for all criteria pollutants, including PM10 and PMis, even in the absence of specific dust reduction measures. Construction phasing for the proposed Projectwould be similar to the construction activities and phasing described in the 1990 FEIS/EIR for the Project Therefore, the construction emissions would be similar to those in the 1990 FEIS/EIR. It has been determined that construction emissions would not violate any air quality standard or contribute substantially to an existing or projected air quality violation. Thus, impacts are considered less than significant 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/EIR would further reduce construction -related air quality impacts. The proposed Project would improve traffic flow and reduce idling, as the Projectwould add one additional through lane and this configuration was analyzed in the 1990 FEIS/EIR. The modifications to the 1990 FEIS/EIR would add more ROW to the existing right -tum lane and serve to increase traffic flow through the intersection, but would not increase the overall road capacity, previously considered lane configuration, or air quality impacts disclosed in the 1990 FEIS/EIR The proposed Project would result in the same operational air emissions as that considered in the 1990 FEIS/EIR, which were below SCAQMD thresholds. Thus, no new or substantial increase of impacts have been identified and no new mitigation measures are required.

H-2 Adequate watering techniques will be employed to partially mitigate the impact of construction - generated dust particulates. H-3 Construction equipment will be properly maintained and serviced to minimize exhaust emissions. H-5 The use of energy efficient lighting along Bristol Street (low pressure sodium vapor lights) will be considered to reduce emissions at the power plant serving the area. H-6 Traffic signals along Bristol Street will continue to be synchronized (AQMP control measures K2). H-7 Construction activities will be halted during Stage One and Stage Two smog alerts. Mitigation Measures: No additional new mitigation measures are required. C) Result is a cu mudidively considerable net increase of my criteria pollutant for which the project region is noroNtmmnent under an applicable federal or state mabient air quality standard inchudiwg releasing emissions which exceed quantitative Ihresholdsfor ozone precursors)? The SCAB is designated by the EPA and the State as being nonattainment for 03, PM,,, and PM,,. 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 improve traffic flow, reduce idling, and encompass the same amount of road capacity for with the existing lane configuration. 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 FEIS/EIR. Certifled 1990 FEIS/EIR Mitigation Measures: Refer to 1990 FEIS/EIR Mitigation Measures H-1 through H-3 and H-5 through H-7. Mitigation Measures: No additional new mitigation measures are required. d) Expose sensitive receptors to substmhdal 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 As per the 1990 FEIS/EIR, it was determined that sensitive receptors in the vicinity appeared to experience carbon monoxide levels that exceeded state and federal standards. Additionally, it was found that under future conditions with the Bristol Street Widening Project, sensitive land uses adjacent to the intersections analyzed reduced carbon monoxide levels to less than significant once the sensitive receptors were setback far enough from the intersections. It was also noted that the carbon monoxide concentrations were only analyzed during "worst case" conditions and did not reflect concentrations which were more likely to occur which would be less than significant compared to what was observed. The Project configuration, which was also analyzed as part of the 1990 FEIS/EIR, would serve to increase traffic flow through the intersection, but would not increase the overall road capacity compared to the 1990 FEIS/EIR, and would not result in an increase in the pollutant concentrations near sensitive receptors, as previously analyzed the 1990 FEIS/EIR. In addition, as determined in the 1990 FEIS/EIR, the proposed modifications would increase traffic flow and reduce traffic idling which would decrease vehicle emissions. Implementation of the proposed Project would not result in greater impacts than previously analyzed in the 1990 FEIS/EIR.

Would the project: a) Cause a substantia adverse change in the signirwavice of a historical resource in defined in 5064.5? No structure modification would result with implementation of the Project Furthermore, the proposed Project would only require limited depths of excavations (maximum depth of 10 feet). Although the majority of excavation is anticipated to occur in non-native fill materials, should unknown potential historical resources be uncovered, implementation of mitigation measure T-1 in the previously approved 1990 FEIS/EIR would reduce impacts to less than significant levels. Therefore, implementation of the proposed Project would not result in greater impacts than previously analyzed in the 1990 FEIS/EIR.

Mitigation Measures: No additional mitigation measures arerequired. b) Cause a substantial adverse charge in the .ngnrcance of an archaeological resource pursuant to § 5064.5? 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. The proposed Project would not result in archaeological impacts greater than previously analyzed in the 1990 FEIS/EIR.

Final I December 2017 3-11 Environmental Consequences     City Council 14 – 59 2/17/2026 ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT REPORT ADDENDUM Bristol Street and Memory Lane Intersection Improvements —Project No. 17-6883 3.7 GREENHOUSE GAS EMISSIONS The previously approved 1990 FEIS/EIR did not include evaluation for Greenhouse Gas (GHG) emissions, as such an analysis was not required in the CEQA guidelines at the time the 1990 FEIS/EIR was prepared. On September 6, 1990, the City of Santa Ana Public Works Agency certified the 1990 FEIS/EIR that analyzed the potential impacts associated with the Bristol Street Widening Project, which focused on improvements that would result in proposed widening of Bristol Street, from Warner Avenue to Memory Lane, in the City of Santa Ana. Although this previous environmental document did not include a GHG analysis, a supplemental environmental analysis of GHG impacts cannot be required absent new information on that front (Citizens for Responsible Equitable Environmental Development [CREED] v. City of San Diego, [2011] 196 Ca1.App.4th 515, 531.) Information on the effect of greenhouse gas emissions on climate was known long before the City approved the 1990 FEIS/EIR. (Id.) Thus, the effect of greenhouse gas emissions on climate could have been raised in 1990 when the City considered the FEIS/EIR. A challenge to a FEIS/EIR must be brought within 30 days of the lead agency's notice of approval. (Pub. Resources Code, § 21167[b].) Under Public Resources Code section 21166(c), an agency may not require a supplemental environmental review unless new information, which was not known and could not have been known at the time the FEIS/EIR was approved, becomes available After a project has been subjected to environmental review, the statutory presumption flips in favor of the project proponent and against further review. Moss v. County of Humboldt [2008] 162 Ca1.App.4th 1041, 1049-1050.) "`[S]ectim 21166 comes into play precisely because in-depth review has already occurred [and] the time for challenging the sufficiency of the original EIR has long since expired."' (Id., 1050.) There is no competent evidence of new information of severe impact, and thus the City may rely on an addendum. Accordingly, the City fords that GHG impacts and climate change are not new information" under Public Resources Code Section 21166. Would the project: a) Gemerate greenhouse gas emissions, either directly or indirectly, that may have a *nificamt impact on the environment? GHG were not evaluated in the 1990 FEIS/EIR 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 atter completion of construction, GHG emissions would not be significant Furthermore, the Project proposes acquiring additional ROW from what was originally analyzed in the 1990 FEIS/EIR. The additional ROW would not change the roadway capacity or over all lane configuration from what was analyzed in the 1990 FEIS/EIR. As the Project involves roadway improvements and not a trip generating land use, only carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions from mobile -sources are applicable Similar to the other criteria pollutants, the highest emissions would occur between 0 to 10 miles per hour (mph) and 50 mph and above The proposed Project would improve traffic flow and reduce idling. Because the Project would improve traffic flow within the Project area, the Project would result in reduced CO2 emissions. Modifications involving additional ROW would not result in a change to the road capacity, lane configuration, and impacts that were identified in the 1990 FEIS/EIR. GHG emissions would be nominal in relation to the global scale of GHG emissions, and there is no evidence that mitigation is necessary for the Project modifications to further demonstrate compliance with the GHG reduction targets of Assembly Bill 32 and Senate Bill 32. Consequently, GHG emissions associated with the Project would be less than significant. Certifled 1990 FRIS/EIR Mitigation Measures: No 1990 FEIS/EIR mitigation measures are applicable Mitigation Measures: No mitigation measures are required. Final I December 2017 3- 12 Environmental Consequences     City Council 14 – 60 2/17/2026 ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT REPORT ADDENDUM Bristol Street and Memory Lane Intersection Improvements —Project No. 17-6883 b) ConJGct wth an applicable plm5 policy or regulation adopted for the purpose of reducing the emissions ofgreenhouce gases? In December 2015, the City of Santa Ana adopted the Climate Action Plan (CAP) as a commitment to improving quality of life by reducing carbon pollution and energy use, both from its own operations and from the community as a whole To develop this CAP, an inventory was conducted to determine baseline GHG emissions from the community and from municipal operations for calendar year 2008. A forecast was made of business -as -usual emissions in the absence of any emissions reduction actions. This forecast was then adjusted to account for the emissions reduction expected from statewide policies and from actions that have already been taken by the City since the baseline inventory. Based on community input, suggestions from City staff, analysis of other communities' climate action plans, and consultant recommendations, a list of measures to reduce emissions was developed. Reaching the emissions reduction goals will require residents, businesses, and City govemment to wodc together. The result will be reduced traffic congestion, improved air quality, lower energy use and cost, and improved quality of life for the entire community. The following measures from the CAP are applicable to the proposed Project: Traffic Signal Synchronization Program: Coridors with synchronized and coordinated traffic signals tend to have shorter travel times, less delay, and reduced congestion. These factors combine reduced fuel usage and emissions. Improvements of intersection operations would help achieve City reduction goals by reducing idling emissions, decreasing congestion and improving traffic flow. Design Guidelines for Intemal Pedestrian Connectivity: Intemal pedestrian connections such as a sidewalk within a site are an important factor in facilitating non -automotive travel. The level of connectivity relates to the ability to travel within the site to other locations without having to use vehicles or an extemal roadway network which decrease emissions. As noted above, the Project would widen the Bristol Street ROW to accommodate a planned roadway/intersection improvement The Project would improve traffic flow, reduce idling emissions, thereby reducing GHG emissions. The proposed Project would not conflict with the CAP because it would not increase GHG emissions. The Project would also implement the appliance CAP measures noted above and would further decrease emissions through traffic signal synchronization and the design of an internal pedestrian sidewalk. The Project modifications would not conflict with CAP reduction targets. Additionally, 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 pertaining to GHG emissions. Certifled 1990 FEIS/EIR Mitigation Measures: No 1990 FEIS/EIR mitigation measures are applicable Mitigation Measures: No mitigation measures are required. 3.8 HAZARDS AND HAZARDOUS MATERIALS This section coresponds with the 1990 FEIS/EIR, Section IV, Environmental Consequences and Mitigation Akarures, Subsection V, Construction Impacts, and Subsection X, Hazardous Materials. Would the project: a) Create a significant hazard to the public or the environment through the routine trampor5 use, or disposal ofhayardous materials? The proposed intersection improvements would require relocation of curb/gutter, sidewalk, driveway approaches, and both public and private utilities (including the existing traffic signal).

As listed in Table 1 Proposed Properiv Acquisition, a total of three Assessor's Parcel Numbers (APNs) (002-261- 06, -29, and -30) would be partially acquired as a result of the proposed intersection improvements; refer to Exhibit 5 Proposed Meht-of- 4PavAcaearition. All proposed areas of acquisition include vacantportions of commercial and multi -family residential properties. These vacant areas consist of bare soils, paving/asphalt, or omamental landscaping. Based on information maintained by the State Water Resources Control Board (SWRCB), APN 002- 261-06 (currently a vacant disturbed property located at 2702 N. Bristol Street) was historically Chevron Service Station #9-8787.12 On January 28, 1999, three 10,000 -gallon gasoline underground storage tanks (USTs) and one 1,000 -gallon used oil UST were removed from the property. According to the SWRCB, a release from the USTs, clarifier, sump, and degreaser were reported during tank removal. Site characterization of potential contaminates was completed and, based on groundwater monitoring, determined that only the soil was affected above regulatory thresholds. Contaminated soils were excavated. Based on a case closure letter issued by the Santa Ana Regional Water Quality Control Board (RWQCB), dated October 22, 2001, completion of the site investigation, remedial action, and groundwater monitoring was completed.13 No further action related to the reported release is required based on the current land use According to the 1990 FEIS/EIR, ROW impacts to businesses that may generate hazardous waste or sites that contain underground storage tanks will occur with implementation of the preferred altemative The 1990 FEIS/EIR acknowledged that it is likely that implementation of the prefered altemative would require the removal of USTs or aboveground storage tanks, or modifications to sites that have historically been handling, processing, or storing hazardous materials. Such activities have the potential to release hazardous wastes into the air or into the ground, but standard construction practices, which would involve careful coordination of design plans or prior notification of construction activity, are expected to minimize these risks and to minimize any disruptions. Thus, compliance with existing regulations and the 1990 FEIS/EIR mitigation measures would ensure that impacts are not greater than that previously analyzed in the 1990 FEIS/EIR. Certified 1990 FEIS/EIR Mitigation Measures: X-1 The City of Santa Ana's Public Works Director will coordinate closely with all agencies and companies which maintain underground or at -grade utility or energy facilities within the areas to be disturbed by project construction activities. Preliminary and final design plans will be made available to such agencies for review and comment At least 48 hours prior to commencement of any excavation activities, the City will contact the Underground Service Alert to notify the affected utility/energy purveyors who can place their personnel at the excavation site to assist in the location of underground facilities during the exploratory digging immediately preceding excavation. In this manner, the risk of line rupture to natural gas, petroleum, and sewer facilities, which might release hazardous substances and odors in to the air, can be minimized. X-2 Should any unidentified substances, odors, leaking underground tanks, or other mysterious and potentially hazardous materials be encountered during project construction, work in that area will be halted and the Santa Ana Fire Department's Hazardous Materials Team will be contacted to evaluate the materials and to define appropriate remedial measures. 12 State Water Resources Control Board, G oZ acker, hltp://geoftacker.watefbouds.ca.gov/, accessed July 24, 2017. 13 Ibid Final December 2017 3-14 Environmental Consequences     City Council 14 – 62 2/17/2026 ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT REPORT ADDENDUM Bristol Street and Memory Lane Intersection Improvements —Project No. 17-6883 X-3 The removal of underground storage tanks will be in accordance with all applicable regulations. For any service stations that will be partially acquired or displaced, the City will request that the owners remove the underground gasoline tanks prior to property acquisition. If the owners do not remove the underground tanks, the City will include the following statement in the right-of-way agreement: It is understood the property being acquired in this transaction may contain hazardous waste which must be removed or otherwise treated under state or federal Law to protect the public health. If hazardous waste is found to exist on the property, the State may exercise its right to bring an action, if necessary, to recover clean-up costs from the grantors or any others who are ultimately determined to have responsibility for the hazardous waste condition of the property." Mitigation Measures: No additional mitigation measures are required. C) Emd hmardous emissions or handle hgardous or widely haardaus materials, substances, or waste wBd n one-quarter alto of an existing orproposedschool? The schools closest to the Project site are Santiago Elementary School ( located approximately 0.46 mile south at 2212 N. Baker Street, Santa Ana) and Riverdale Elementary School ( located approximately 0.60 mile west at 13222 Lewis Street, Garden Grove). Thus, no schools are located within one-quarter mile of the Project site and impacts would not be greater than that previously analyzed in the 1990 FEIS/EIR. Certified 1990 FEIS/EIR Mitigation Measures: No 1990 FEIS/EIR mitigation measures are applicable Mitigation Measures: No additional mitigation measures are required. d) Be located on a site which is included on a ltst of hn¢ardaus materials sites compiled pursuant to Government Code Section 65962.5 and as a result muddit create askgm1wannt haardto the public or the environment? The Project site includes a former service station where gasoline was reported to have contaminated the soil; the site completed site remediation through appropriate state and local agency standards as required. To that end, the RW QCB issued a case closure letter dated October 22, 2001 stating that no further action was required for the site As discussed in Response 3.8(b), compliance with existing regulations and mitigation measures from the 1990 FEIS/EIR would ensure that impacts are not greater than previously analyzed in the 1990 FEIS/EIR. Certified 1990 FEIS/EIR Mitigation Measures: Refer to 1990 FEIS/EIR Mitigation Measures X-1 through X-3.

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 Impacts in this regard would not be greater than that previously analyzed in the 1990 FEIS/EIR. Certified 1990 FEIS/EIR Mitigation Measures: No 1990 FEIS/EIR mitigation measures are applicable Mitigation Measures: No additional mitigation measures are required. g) Impair implementation of or physwaIIy utterfere wide an adapted emergency response plan or emergency evacuation plan? During construction, the disruption of traffic and access along Bristol Street and Memory lane would temporarily affect the mobility of emergency vehicles. However, 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 FEIS/EIR would ensure that impacts are not greater than previously analyzed in the 1990 FEIS/EIR. Certified 1990 FEIS/EIR Mitigation Measures V-10 Traffic control plans will be prepared prior to each phase of construction. All traffic warning and control devices should comply to the provisions of the State of Califomia Manual of Traffic Controls. V-12 Thepolice and fire departments will benotified of construction at least one (1) month in advance, as to the particulars of the project (i.e., project time schedule, and areas to be dismpted, etc.). This action would give the police and fire departments sufficient time to notify its personnel of any significant impediments to traffic. V-13 The City will notify the police department at least 48 hours in advance of any turning changes. A minimum three (3) signs are required for each indicated change and/or prevention of movement V-16 If feasible, construction activities and lane closures will occur primarily during non -peak driving periods. Mitigation Measures: No additional mitigation measures are required. h) Expose people or shvchwes to a significant risk of Loss, ugury or death uwolvurg midland fines, inchu ing where midlands are adjacent to urbanized areas or where residences are intermixed wide 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. Impacts in this regard would not be greater than that previously analyzed in the 1990 FEIS/EIR.

Would the project: a) Violate any water quality standards or waste discharge requirementr? Under Section 402 of the Clean Water Act (CWA), the EPA has established regulations under the NPDES program to control direct storm water discharges. Should 1.0 acre or more of site disturbance occur, those activities would be subject to the NPDES program for the Santa Ana Regional Water Quality Control Board. The proposed Project would only impact approximately 0. 39 acres, which is less than the 1.0 -acre threshold. Thus, the Project would not be subject to NPDES requirements, as potential waste discharge would be nominal. Furthermore, the Project would be required to comply with the 1990 FEIS/EIR Mitigation Measure C-2, involving the placement of straw or other suitable materials over uncovered soils, as needed, during street coustruction activities, further reducing the amount of erosion occurring at the Project site Regarding operations, the Project would not increase the capacity of the roadway or the number of vehicles using the Project area. Therefore, impacts to water quality would be similar to those identified in the 1990 FEIS/EIR. Certified 1990 FEIS/EIR Mitigation Measures: Refer to 1990 FEIS/EIR Mitigation Measure C-2. Mitigation Measures: No additional mitigation measures are required. Al Substantially deplete groundwater supplies or interfere substantially with groundwater recharge such but there would be anet 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 ezisfing Ianduces or plannedusesfor whiehpermits have beengranten)? The proposed Project would not result in increased water consumption and would not deplete groundwater supplies. No impact to groundwater supplies would result from the proposed Project Impacts in this regard would not be greater than that previously analyzed in the 1990 FEIS/EIR. Certified 1990 FEIS/EIR Mitigation Measures: No 1990 FEIS/EIR mitigation measures are applicable Mitigation Measures: No additional mitigation measures are required. C) Substantially after the ezisfing drainage pattern of the site or area including through the afteradon of the course of a sueam or river, in a mmmer that would result in substantial erosion or siltation on- or off-site ? The proposed Project would only nominally increase the paved/impervious areas of the Project site. This nominal increase would not result in a substantial increase in erosion or siltation on- or off-site. Further, implementation of 1990 FEIS/EIR Mitigation Measure C-2 would reduce any potential erosion/siltation impacts during construction. Thus, impacts in this regard would not be greater than that previously analyzed in the 1990 FEIS/EIR. Certified 1990 FEIS/EIR Mitigation Measures: Refer to 1990 FEIS/EIR Mitigation Measure C-2 Mitigation Measures: No additional mitigation measures are required.

Would the project: a) physicaby divide an established commundy? The proposed Project involves the widening of the intersection of Bristol Street and Memory Lane; the proposed Project would not divide an established community. Although the proposed widening of Bristol Street within the Project limits would result in partial acquisition of existing properties, the Project would not create a physical barrier to, or separate, a community. Impacts would not be greater than that previously analyzed in the 1990 FEIS/EIR. Certifled 1990 FEIS/EIR Mitigation Measures: No 1990 FEIS/EIR mitigation measures are applicable Mitigation Measures: No additional mitigation measures are required. b) Coaket mitt my applicable Iced use plus policy, or regulation of an agency svth jurisdiction over the project (including, bid not limited to the general plus specfic plus Local coastal program, or Eonueg ordtseuece) adoptedfor the purpose of avoiding or mitigating an environmental effect?

Final I December 2017 3-20 Environmental Consequences     City Council 14 – 68 2/17/2026 ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT REPORT ADDENDUM Bristol Street and Memory Lane Intersection Improvements —Project No. 17-6883 The proposed Project involves widening the west side of Bristol Street, north of the intersection of Bristol Street and Memory Lane, in an urbanized area of multi- and single-family residential uses, commercial uses, and vacant land. The widening of the proposed ROW from 100 feet to 111 feet will not substantially change the noise levels which were analyzed in the 1990 FEIS/EIR. Changes to traffic noise impacts typically occur when there is a substantial horizontal alteration to the roadway. The Caltrans Traffic Noise Analysis Protocol guidance per federal regulations 23 CFR 772) defines a substantial horizontal alteration as a project that halves the distance between the traffic noise source and the closest receptor between the existing condition to the frmre build condition. The existing distance from the ROW to the closest receptor is approximately 30 feet When adding the additional 11 feet to the ROW, this is less than half of the distance which means that the Project does not cause a substantial horizontal alteration. The Proposed Project modifications would not result in any new long -tern mobile and stationary noise impacts. Only nominal changes to grading or construction activities would occur. No increases to road vehicle capacity would occur. No new impacts have been identified and no new mitigation measures are required. Impacts would not be greater than that previously analyzed in the 1990 FEIS/EIR. Certified 1990 FEIS/EIR Mitigation Measures I-1 Construction activities will take place only during the hours specified in the City of Santa Ana Noise Control Ordinance to reduce noise impacts during more sensitive time periods.

I-3 Stationary equipment shall be placed such that emitted noise is directed away from sensitive noise receivers such as residential areas. I-4 Stockpiling and vehicle staging areas shall be located as far as practical from occupied dwellings. I-5 Every effort will be made to create the greatest distance between noise sources and receptors during construction. I-6 The noisiest construction operations will be aranged to occur together in the coustruction program to avoid continuing periods of greater annoyance Mitigation Measures: No additional mitigation measures are required. b) Exposure of persons to or generation of excessive grouadborae vibration or groundborne noise Levels? Refer to Response 3.12(a). During Project construction, noise associated with construction may intermittently dominate the noise environment in the immediate area of construction. 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 FEIS/EIR with implementation of mitigation measures and would not be greater than what was previously analyzed. The proposed widening of Bristol Street and ROW acquisition just north of Memory Lane would involve additional ROW take at adjoining properties in order to accommodate the third southbound through lane (considered in the 1990 FEIS/EIR). These changes would be nominal and would result in similar noise levels as the 1990 FEIS/EIR, which would be below significant levels. The Proposed Project modifications would not result in any new long- term mobile and stationary noise impacts. No changes to grading or construction activities would occur. No increases to road vehicle capacity or lane configurations would occur. No new impacts have been identified and no new mitigation measures are required. Impacts would not be greater than that previously analyzed in the 1990 FEIS/EIR.

The bill specifies that any project may affect or cause a substantial adverse change in the significance of a tribal cultural resource would require a lead agency to begin consultation with a California Native American tribe that is traditional and culturally affiliated with the geographic area of the proposed project" Section 21074 of AB 52 also defines a new category of resources under CEQA called tribal cultural resources. Tribal cultural resources are defined as "sites, features, places, cultural landscapes, sacred places, and objects with cultural value to a Califomia Native American tribe" and is either listed on or eligible for the California Register of Historical Resources or a local historic register, or if the lead agency chooses to treat the resource as a tribal cultural resource. Notwithstanding, AB 52 applies to all new applications deemed complete on or atter July 1, 2015. Thus, as the proposed improvements are an Amendment to the existing Bristol Street Widening Project, and not a new Application, AB 52 does not apply to this Project On February 19, 2016, the Califomia Natural Resources Agency proposed to adopt and amend regulations as part of AB 52 implementing Title 14, Division 6, Chapter 3 of the California Code of Regulations, CEQA Guidelines, to include consideration of impacts to tribal cultural resources pursuant to Goverment Code Section 11346.6. On September 27, 2016, the California Office of Administrative Law approved the amendments to Appendix G of the CEQA Guidelines, and these amendments are addressed within this Addendum. a) Would the project cause a substantial adverse charge is the sigurwamce of a tribal cultural resource, delured is Public Resources Code section 21074 as either a site, feature, place, cultural landscape that is geographicalty defined in terms of the size and scope of the landscape, sacred place, or object withcultural value to aCaVorniaNativeAmerlean tribe, morbid is: i) Listed or eligible for Hsibur in the CaVornia Register ofllistorical Resources, or in alocal register of hish,ric at resources an, deal el d in Pub He R e sourc e s Co de sectors 5020.1(k), or According to the City of Santa Ana, no Native American -related historical resources are present within the Project vicinity 15 Based on the 1990 FEIS/EIR, no historical or archaeological resources were identified in the Project vicinity. During public noticing period for the Bristol Street Widening Project, a letter received from the Office of Historic Preservation indicated that the Bristol Widening Project would not affect historic properties. Therefore, implementation of the proposed Project would not result in greater impacts than previously analyzed in the 1990 FEIS/EIR.

ORDINANCE NO. NS-XXXX entitled AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF SANTA ANA PROHIBITING ANTI-COMPETITIVE AUTOMATED RENT PRICE FIXING GOVERNMENT CODE §84308 APPLIES: No DISCUSSION The use of algorithmic devices to set rental rates in the private rental market has contributed to the nationwide housing affordability crisis. These tools utilize nonpublic competitor data, including real time rents, lease renewals, and occupancy levels to generate coordinated pricing recommendations that inflate rental rates beyond competitive market levels. National analyses and federal lawsuits suggest that such tools may contribute to double-digit rent increases, increased rates of eviction, and artificial housing scarcity. The purpose of this ordinance is therefore to protect renters in the City of Santa Ana (City) from artificially inflated rents and unfair rent-setting practices. The City’s renters are subjected to the affordability pressures created by these algorithmic devices. According to the U.S. Census Bureau’s 2023 5-Year American Community Survey (ACS), the City has 79,691 occupied housing units, of which 44,151 are renter- occupied households accounting for over 55% of the total occupied housing units. Approximately 53% of these households are considered cost-burdened with housing expenses exceeding 30% of overall household income. The City’s median household income has not kept pace with the growth in rental housing costs, placing disproportionate pressure on low-income and working-class families. The City’s review of current rental market conditions, together with findings from federal investigations and national research, indicates that algorithmic rent setting tools pose a risk to housing affordability in Santa Ana. In a 2024 study by the White House, it was reported that renters nationally     City Council 16 – 1 2/17/2026 Ordinance Prohibiting Anti-Competitive Automated Rent Price-Fixing February 17, 2026 Page 2 5 5 8 3 spent an extra $3.8 billion in rent in 2023; Los Angeles renters in units managed with algorithms paid an average of $408 more annually, compared to renters in units not managed with algorithms. Overview of Legislation Addressing Algorithmic Pricing and Antitrust AB 325 Cartwright Act: Violations Assembly Bill 325, enacted on October 6, 2025 and effective January 1, 2026, amends the Cartwright Act to further expand the scope of conduct prohibited under California antitrust law. The bill clarifies that the use of a “common pricing algorithm” may constitute unlawful price fixing when used as part of a contract, combination in the form of a trust, or conspiracy to restrain trade or commerce. AB 325 addresses concerns that pricing software and algorithmic tools can function as mechanisms for coordinating prices, rental rates, or supply levels. By amending the Cartwright Act, AB 325 clarifies that the use of shared or common pricing algorithms may be treated as evidence of a concerted practice when the effect of such use is to artificially influence prices in the real estate market. AB 325 does not impose an outright ban on pricing software, instead the bill operates primarily as a clarification of liability standards within the existing antitrust law framework. Enforcement of the Act continues to rely on state or local prosecutors or private parties bringing antitrust actions. Proposed bill - SB 384 Preventing Algorithmic Price Fixing Act Senate Bill 384, the Preventing Algorithmic Price Fixing Act, would make it unlawful for a person to sell, license, provide, or use a “price-setting algorithm” with the intent or reasonable expectation that it will be used by two or more competitors in the same market, when the person knows or should know that the algorithm relies on nonpublic data to determine either: 1) the price or supply of a good or service, or 2) the rent or occupancy level of rental property. Unlike AB 325, SB 384 creates a standalone prohibition on a “price-setting algorithm” when it is intended or can be reasonably expected to be used by two or more competitors in the same market and processes nonpublic data. SB 384 would allow a user of such an algorithm to claim an affirmative defense if they exercised specified reasonable due diligence. It would also authorize the State Attorney General, as well as certain local prosecutors, to bring civil actions for violations, including seeking civil penalties of up to $1,000 per violation. As of February 2026, SB 384 has advanced through the Senate floor and various committees; and is currently undergoing Second Committee Review. Federal and State Antitrust Litigation Antitrust lawsuits have been filed against third-party revenue management companies, including RealPage, Inc. and Yardi Systems, Inc., as well as landlords who are using alleged rent-fixing conspiracies. The lawsuits allege that these companies are enabling unlawful rent-fixing. In August 2024, the United States Department of Justice (DOJ) filed an antitrust lawsuit against RealPage accusing the company of unlawfully reducing market competition and artificially raising rents. Eight state Attorneys General, including     City Council 16 – 2 2/17/2026 Ordinance Prohibiting Anti-Competitive Automated Rent Price-Fixing February 17, 2026 Page 3 5 5 8 3 California Attorney General Rob Bonta, joined the action. In January 2025, the DOJ updated the lawsuit to include two additional Attorneys General and to identify landlords as defendants. The case is still underway, though several defendants have already settled with the Department of Justice and participating state attorneys general. Greystar, one of the major defendants, agreed to pay $7 million to the DOJ and another $7 million to the state attorneys general, and to discontinue its use of RealPage’s algorithmic pricing tool. However, RealPage and several other landlords continue to litigate the matter, with RealPage seeking dismissal of the claims and the remaining defendants also contesting the lawsuit. Proposed Santa Ana Ordinance Prohibiting Anti-Competitive Automated Rent Price-Fixing The proposed ordinance would prohibit the sale, licensing, provision, and use of certain algorithmic rent-setting tools within the City. A citywide ban on providing or using an “Algorithmic Device” that uses nonpublic competitor data to recommend rents and occupancy levels for residential rental property in the City. The ordinance is limited in scope to residential rental property and does not apply to pricing software that relies solely on publicly available data, aggregate historical data, or tools used to comply with affordable housing program requirements. The proposed ordinance establishes a local prohibition on algorithmic devices that facilitate coordinated rent-setting practices; the ordinance also establishes a tenant- focused enforcement mechanism. A tenant affected by a violation of this ordinance may seek injunctive relief, damages, or civil penalties up to $1,000 per violation, plus attorney’s fees. Each residential unit and each month of continued use of algorithmic devices constitutes a separate violation. These enforcement provisions are intended to provide tenants with a direct and accessible remedy, independent of state or federal enforcement actions. The proposed ordinance is designed to operate alongside existing and proposed state antitrust laws while providing greater protections to tenants by: - defining a more limited scope (residential rental property within Santa Ana city limits), - providing direct enforcement abilities (tenants may seek relief via civil action), and - easing the burden of proof (tenants need to show that the landlord used an algorithmic device and the device relied on nonpublic competitor data). Existing state law does not expressly preempt local regulation of algorithmic rent- setting practices. AB 325 clarifies the application of antitrust principles of algorithmic pricing under the Cartwright Act, but does not establish an exclusive regulatory framework. If SB 384 is enacted, the bill would supplement rather than displace existing antitrust law.     City Council 16 – 3 2/17/2026 Ordinance Prohibiting Anti-Competitive Automated Rent Price-Fixing February 17, 2026 Page 4 5 5 8 3 FISCAL IMPACT There is no fiscal impact associated with this item.

Garcia, Executive Director of Community Development Approved By: Alvaro Nuñez, City Manager     City Council 16 – 4 2/17/2026 EXHIBIT 1 Ordinance No. NS-XXXX Page 1 of 7 ORDINANCE NO. NS-XXXX AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF SANTA ANA PROHIBITING ANTI-COMPETITIVE AUTOMATED RENT PRICE-FIXING THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF SANTA ANA DOES ORDAIN AS FOLLOWS: Section 1. The City Council of Santa Ana hereby finds, determines, and declares as follows: A. The housing rent burden and poverty faced by many residents in the City of Santa Ana (City) threatens the health, safety, and welfare to the City. B. The City Council has provided relief to residents by enacting a Rent Stabilization and Just Cause Eviction Ordinance, directing City staff to apply for housing grants to lower the cost of living for residents and placing a priority on assisting residents by providing information about issues that can negatively affect their lives. C. The high cost of living and housing shortage in the City have contributed to the City’s unaffordability. According to an October 2025 Zillow report, a family must earn $220,000 a year to afford a home mortgage in Santa Ana. According to an October 22, 2025 Orange County Register article, the average rental rate for a residential dwelling unit in the City is $2,293, approximately 40.6% higher than the national median of $1,631. D. According to the U.S. Census Bureau’s 2023 American Community Survey (ACS), Santa Ana has approximately 79,691 occupied housing units, of which 44,151 are renter-occupied households, accounting for over 55% of the total occupied housing units in Santa Ana. Approximately 53% of renter households are considered cost-burdened, with housing expenses exceeding 30% of household income. The City’s median household income has not kept pace with the growth in rental housing costs, placing disproportionate pressure on low-income and working-class families. E. Landlords’ use of algorithmic devices, which perform calculations of nonpublic competitor data concerning rental rates, occupancy levels, and other information, to set rental rates and occupancy levels has resulted in inflated rental rates an unfair rent increases and contributed to the City’s unaffordability for families. F. A 2024 study by the White House reported that renters nationally spent an extra $3.8 billion in rent in 2023 because of pricing algorithms, and that Los Angeles renters in units managed with algorithms paid an average of $408 more than     City Council 16 – 5 2/17/2026 EXHIBIT 1 Ordinance No. NS-XXXX Page 2 of 7 renters in units that were not managed with algorithms. The average monthly cost for Santa Ana is unavailable. G. In response to the use of algorithmic devices to set rental rates and occupancy levels, in August 2024, the United States Department of Justice (DOJ) filed a lawsuit against RealPage, Inc. Eight Attorneys General, including California Attorney General Rob Bonta, joined the DOJ’s lawsuit. The DOJ amended its lawsuit in January 2025 to add two Attorneys General and name landlords and defendants.This lawsuit was settled in November 2025 and per the DOJ, “the proposed settlement would help restore free market competition in rental markets for millions of American renters.” Per the settlement, RealPage did not admit any wrongdoing or liability, RealPage must not use their competitors’ non-public information, and an independent monitor will ensure compliance for seven (7) years. City renters cannot hope that RealPage does not violate the settlement nor that RealPage will be caught by the independent monitor. H. RealPage filed a federal lawsuit against the City of Berkeley in April 2025 challenging their ordinance that bans landlords from using algorithmic revenue management software for setting rental rates. While the litigation is pending, and as RealPage will be monitored City renters cannot wait for this lawsuit to run its course. The Council wishes to provide immediate relief to City renters by prohibiting the sale, licensing, and use of algorithmic devices that use or incorporate nonpublic competitor data to advise a landlord on, or recommend to a landlord, rental rates or occupancy levels that may be achieved for residential real property in the City. Section 2. The recitals and statements of fact set forth in the preamble to this ordinance are true and correct, constitute a substantive part of the ordinance, and are incorporated herein by reference.

Walnut St. AGENDA TITLE Public Hearing - Purchase and Sale Agreement for 1901 W. Walnut Street Legal notice published in the OC Reporter on February 2, 2026. RECOMMENDED ACTION 1. Conduct a Public Hearing required pursuant to California Government Code 53083. 2. Authorize the City Manager to execute a Purchase and Sale Agreement with THRIVE Santa Ana, Inc. for the sale of City-owned Real property at 1901 W. Walnut Street (APN 007-332-08), in the amount of $852,000 (Agreement No. A-2026-XXX). GOVERNMENT CODE §84308 APPLIES: Yes DISCUSSION The City-owned property located at 1901 W. Walnut Street (APN 007-332-08) is a 0.38-acre parcel that was acquired in 2007. Previously occupied by the Orange County Rescue Mission, the existing structure was demolished in 2011, and the site remained vacant for more than a decade. On March 3, 2020, the City Council approved a Disposition and Development Agreement (DDA) and a ninety-nine (99) year ground lease with THRIVE Santa Ana, Inc. for the development and operation of a community microfarm located at 1901 W. Walnut Street. Established in 2017, THRIVE Santa Ana is a Community Land Trust (CLT) founded by nonprofit leaders and local residents with the purpose of acquiring and stewarding vacant city-owned properties to provide long-term community benefits. The CLT model supports the development of affordable housing, parks, urban micro farms, and marketplaces for small businesses. Properties acquired by the CLT are managed in partnership with local residents to identify and address community needs while ensuring sustained public benefit. A Community Benefits Report developed by THRIVE outlined the anticipated positive impacts of the project, which included:     City Council 17 – 1 2/17/2026 Purchase and Sale Agreement for 1901 W. Walnut St. February 17, 2026 Page 2 5 5 6 7 Establishment of a micro-farm as an economic development initiative. Creation of employment opportunities and organic produce production. Promotion of a worker cooperative model encouraging resident participation in the local neighborhood economy. Enhancement of civic engagement and healthy living. Since execution of the DDA, THRIVE Santa Ana, Inc. has completed the development of a community microform called La Colmena. La Colmena features a regenerative farm, a café, artisan retail space, and gathering areas for markets and events. Operated under the principles of a Community Land Trust, La Colmena promotes local food access, small business development, and community engagement, serving as a model for sustainable, resident-driven land stewardship in Santa Ana. The operation of a community micro-farm is consistent with the definition of a “Plant Nursery,” which is an allowed use in the Community Commercial (C-1) zoning district. The subject property is located within the Community Commercial (C-2) zoning district, which allows additional uses permitted in the C-1 district pursuant to Section 41-377(a) of the Santa Ana Municipal Code. Accordingly, the micro-farm use is consistent with the applicable zoning regulations (Exhibit 5). The ground lease with THRIVE Santa Ana, Inc. granted the organization the exclusive option to purchase the property at a gross sales price equivalent to the negotiated fair market value, as determined through an appraisal. To initiate the option, THRIVE was required to submit a Letter of Intent (Exhibit 1) and a deposit of $5,000, which would be applied toward the cost of the appraisal. After being informed of this valuation, THRIVE noted that its State grant allows for a maximum acquisition amount of $852,000 and requested that the City consider providing a donation or subsidy for the difference (Exhibit 3). Staff informed THRIVE that any sale below fair market value would require preparation of an economic subsidy report for City Council approval. On July 16, 2019, the City Council approved a zoning map amendment for the subject site and properties, rezoning the subject site as General Commercial (C2). Concurrent with this rezoning and in accordance with the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), a Mitigated Negative Declaration (MND) (Environmental Review No. 2017-140) with technical studies was prepared for the rezoning. No areas of unavoidable impacts were identified as resulting from the construction or operation of the proposed project. Purchase and Sale Agreement On October 17, 2025, THRIVE submitted a Letter of Intent to the City requesting consideration for the purchase of the property. The Community Development Agency (CDA) received an independent appraisal report (Exhibit 2) dated November 11, 2025 that established the fair market value of the property at $1,030,000. On December 3, THRIVE submitted a revised letter (Exhibit 3) requesting an economic subsidy of $178,000, representing the difference between the property’s appraised fair market value and the state grant funds available for its purchase.     City Council 17 – 2 2/17/2026 Purchase and Sale Agreement for 1901 W. Walnut St. February 17, 2026 Page 3 5 5 6 7 Pursuant to Government Code Section 65402, the Planning and Building Agency reviewed the proposed Purchase and Sale Agreement for the City-owned property located at 1901 W. Walnut Street (APN 007-332-08). As documented in the General Plan Conformance Memorandum dated January 21, 2026, the Planning Agency determined that the sale of the property is in conformance with the City of Santa Ana’s 2022 General Plan (Exhibit 5). Approval of the Purchase and Sale Agreement (Exhibit 6) will finalize the City’s partnership with THRIVE Santa Ana, Inc. and enable the successful implementation of a community-led micro-farm project that advances local economic opportunities, public health, and neighborhood engagement. Surplus Land Act Compliance Government Code Section 54221(f)(1)(B) provides that the term “surplus land” does not include: “Surplus land that is less than one-half acre in area and is not contiguous to land owned by a state or local agency that is used for open-space or low- and moderate-income housing purposes.” Based on this definition, if the subject property is less than one-half acre in size and is not contiguous to any state or local agency-owned land used for such purposes, it qualifies for the Small Lot Exemption. In December 2025, the City received written confirmation (Exhibit 7) from the State’s Department of Housing and Community Development (HCD) that the property located at 1901 W. Walnut Street meets these criteria, being less than one-half acre in area and not adjoining any qualifying state or local agency parcels, and therefore qualifies for the Small Lot Exemption under the Surplus Land Act. As a result, the City’s surplus land exemption requirements have been satisfied through this action, and no City Council resolution is required. Economic Development Subsidy Government Code Section 53083 requires that the City Council must hold a noticed public hearing and, prior to the public hearing, provide information to the public through the City’s website regarding the proposed economic development subsidy. As part of the approval process, an Economic Development Subsidy Report (Exhibit 4) must be completed and submitted detailing the structure of the public subsidy, projected tax benefits, and estimated number of jobs that would be created by the subsidy. This report shall remain available to the public and posted on the City’s website until the end date of the economic development subsidy. FISCAL IMPACT Funds in the amount of $852,000 will be deposited into the Miscellaneous Revenue Sale of Land account (no. 01102002-57071).     City Council 17 – 3 2/17/2026 Purchase and Sale Agreement for 1901 W.

Improved liquidity will benefit most sectors, and we expect to see continued refinancing opportunities. However, challenges persist, particularly for distressed office assets. CBRE forecasts limited cap rate compression this cycle, as long-term interest rates are expected to remain elevated. This points toward a more income-focused investment cycle that underscores the importance of strategic investment decisions and careful asset selection. Experience has shown that consumer and investor behavior can quickly change during periods of heightened volatility. Lending or investment decisions should consider the potential for a continuation of recent volatility, which may affect market conditions disproportionately, depending on asset class. It is important to note that the conclusions set out in this report are valid as at the valuation date only. Where appropriate, we recommend that the valuation is closely monitored, as we continue to track how markets respond to evolving events.     City Council 17 – 13 2/17/2026 Executive Summary CBRE VALUATION & ADVISORY SERVICES v © 2025 CBRE, INC An extraordinary assumption is defined as “an assignment-specific assumption as of the effective date regarding uncertain information used in an analysis which, if found to be false, could alter the appraiser’s opinions or conclusions.” 1 • The subject property is improved with a community garden and a coffee shop. At the request of the client, this valuation is limited to the underlying land only. No consideration has been given to the improvements. • This valuation is limited to the underlaying land only. We have assumed that the subject is vacant unentitled land. • The use of these extraordinary assumptions may have impacted the assignment result. A hypothetical condition is defined as “a condition, directly related to a specific assignment, which is contrary to what is known by the appraiser to exist on the effective date of the assignment results but is used for the purposes of analysis.” 2 • None noted The subject property is owned by the City of Santa Ana and. In 2020 the City of Santa Ana entered into a ground lease with Thrive Santa Ana Community Land Trust who subsequently developed a micro-farm on the site. It is our understanding that the Thrive Santa Ana Community Land Trust is interested in purchasing the underlying land from the City of Santa Ana. CBRE is unaware of any arm’s length ownership transfers of the property within three years of the date of appraisal. Further, the property is not reportedly being offered for sale as of the current date. Current appraisal guidelines require an estimate of a reasonable time period in which the subject could be brought to market and sold. This reasonable time frame can either be examined historically or prospectively. In a historical analysis, this is referred to as exposure time. Exposure time always precedes the date of value, with the underlying premise being the time a property would have been on the market prior to the date of value, such that it would sell at its appraised value as of the date of value. On a prospective basis, the term marketing time is most often used. The exposure/marketing time is a function of price, time, and use. It is not an isolated estimate of time alone. 1 The Appraisal Foundation, USPAP, 2024 Edition (Effective January 1, 2024) 2 The Appraisal Foundation, USPAP, 2024 Edition (Effective January 1, 2024)     City Council 17 – 14 2/17/2026 Executive Summary CBRE VALUATION & ADVISORY SERVICES vi © 2025 CBRE, INC The following table presents the information derived from these sources.

The scope of the assignment relates to the extent and manner in which research is conducted, data is gathered, and analysis is applied. This appraisal is to be used for potential disposition and no other use is permitted. The client is City of Santa Ana, Community Development Agency. This appraisal is to be used by City of Santa Ana, Community Development Agency. No other user(s) may rely on our report unless as specifically indicated in this report. Intended users are those who an appraiser intends will use the appraisal or review report. In other words, appraisers acknowledge at the outset of the assignment that they are developing their expert opinions for the use of the intended users they identify. Although the client provides information about the parties who may be intended users, ultimately it is the appraiser who decides who they are. This is an important point to be clear about: The client does not tell the appraiser who the intended users will be. Rather, the client tells the appraiser who the client needs the report to be speaking to, and given that information, the appraiser identifies the intended user or users. It is important to identify intended users because an appraiser’s primary responsibility regarding the use of the report’s opinions and conclusions is to those users. Intended users are those parties to whom an appraiser is responsible for communicating the findings in a clear and understandable manner. They are the audience. 3 Reliance on any reports produced by CBRE under this Agreement is extended solely to parties and entities expressly acknowledged in a signed writing by CBRE as Intended Users of the respective reports, provided that any conditions to such acknowledgement required by CBRE or hereunder have been satisfied.

This valuation is limited to the underlying land only and no consideration has been given to the improvements. The current economic definition of market value agreed upon by agencies that regulate federal financial institutions in the U.S. (and used herein) is as follows: The most probable price which a property should bring in a competitive and open market under all conditions requisite to a fair sale, the buyer and seller each acting prudently and knowledgeably, and assuming the price is not affected by undue stimulus. Implicit in this definition is the consummation of a sale as of a specified date and the passing of title from seller to buyer under conditions whereby: 1. buyer and seller are typically motivated; 2. both parties are well informed or well advised, and acting in what they consider their own best interests; 3. a reasonable time is allowed for exposure in the open market; 4. payment is made in terms of cash in U.S. dollars or in terms of financial arrangements comparable thereto; and 5. the price represents the normal consideration for the property sold unaffected by special or creative financing or sales concessions granted by anyone associated with the sale. 4 The value estimated represents Fee Simple Estate as defined below: Fee Simple Estate - Absolute ownership unencumbered by any other interest or estate, subject only to the limitations imposed by the governmental powers of taxation, eminent domain, police power and escheat. 5 The property is identified through the following sources: • assessor’s records • legal description Nicole Galvez inspected the subject, as well as its surrounding environs on the effective date of appraisal. This inspection was considered adequate and is the basis for our findings.

For vacant land, the sales comparison approach has been employed for this assignment. The appraisers have the appropriate knowledge, education, and experience to complete this assignment competently. In appraisal practice, an approach to value is included or omitted based on its applicability to the property type being valued and the quality and quantity of information available. Depending on a specific appraisal assignment, any of the following four methods may be used to determine the market value of the fee simple interest of land: • Sales Comparison Approach; • Income Capitalization Procedures; • Allocation; and • Extraction. The following summaries of each method are paraphrased from the text. The first is the sales comparison approach. This is a process of analyzing sales of similar, recently sold parcels in order to derive an indication of the most probable sales price (or value) of the property being appraised. The reliability of this approach is dependent upon (a) the availability of comparable sales data, (b) the verification of the sales data regarding size, price, terms of sale, among others, (c) the degree of comparability or extent of adjustment necessary for differences between the subject and the comparables, and (d) the absence of nontypical conditions affecting the sales price. This is the primary and most reliable method used to value land (if adequate data exists). The income capitalization procedures include three methods: land residual technique, ground rent capitalization, and Subdivision Development Analysis. A discussion of each of these three techniques is presented in the following paragraphs. The land residual method may be used to estimate land value when sales data on similar parcels of vacant land are lacking. This technique is based on the principle of balance and the related concept of contribution, which are concerned with equilibrium among the agents of production--i.e. labor, capital, coordination, and land. The land residual technique can be used to estimate land value when: 1) building value is known or can be accurately estimated, 2) stabilized, annual net operating income to the property is known or estimable, and 3) both building and land capitalization rates can be extracted from the market. Building value can be estimated for new or proposed buildings that represent the highest and best use of the property and have not yet incurred physical deterioration or functional obsolescence.     City Council 17 – 19 2/17/2026 Scope of Work CBRE VALUATION & ADVISORY SERVICES 4 © 2025 CBRE, INC The subdivision development method is used to value land when subdivision and development represent the highest and best use of the appraised parcel. In this method, an appraiser determines the number and size of lots that can be created from the appraised land physically, legally, and economically. The value of the underlying land is then estimated through a discounted cash flow analysis with revenues based on the achievable sale price of the finished product and expenses based on all costs required to complete and sell the finished product. The ground rent capitalization procedure is predicated upon the assumption that ground rents can be capitalized at an appropriate rate to indicate the market value of a site. Ground rent is paid for the right to use and occupy the land according to the terms of the ground lease; it corresponds to the value of the landowner's interest in the land. Market-derived capitalization rates are used to convert ground rent into market value. This procedure is useful when an analysis of comparable sales of leased land indicates a range of rents and reasonable support for capitalization rates can be obtained. The allocation method is typically used when sales are so rare that the value cannot be estimated by direct comparison. This method is based on the principle of balance and the related concept of contribution, which affirm that there is a normal or typical ratio of land value to property value for specific categories of real estate in specific locations. This ratio is generally more reliable when the subject property includes relatively new improvements. The allocation method does not produce conclusive value indications, but it can be used to establish land value when the number of vacant land sales is inadequate. The extraction method is a variant of the allocation method in which land value is extracted from the sale price of an improved property by deducting the contribution of the improvements, which is estimated from their depreciated costs. The remaining value represents the value of the land. Value indications derived in this way are generally unpersuasive because the assessment ratios may be unreliable and the extraction method does not reflect market considerations. For the purposes of this analysis, we have utilized the sales comparison approach. Since our valuation is limited to the underlying land, the cost and income capitalization approaches are not applicable.     City Council 17 – 20 2/17/2026 Area Analysis CBRE VALUATION & ADVISORY SERVICES 5 © 2025 CBRE, INC Population Source: ESRI, downloaded on Oct, 30 2025 The subject is located in the Los Angeles-Long Beach-Anaheim,CA Metropolitan Statistical Area.Key information about the area is provided in the following tables.

Generally, a reassessment occurs only when a property is sold (or transferred) or when new construction occurs (as differentiated from replacing existing construction). In the case of long-term ground leases, the general rule is that a reassessment is made at the time of assigning or terminating a lease where the remaining term is more than 35 years. For reassessment purposes, the lease term includes all options to extend. Assessments for properties that were acquired before the tax year 1975-1976 were stabilized as of the tax year 1975-1976. Property taxes are limited by state law to 1% of the assessed value plus voter-approved obligations and special assessments. If no sale (or transfer) occurs or no new building takes place, assessments may not increase by more than 2% annually. The subject property is owned by the City of Santa Ana and is exempt from assessment. The 2025/2026 tax rate for the area is 1.01477%.     City Council 17 – 30 2/17/2026 Market Analysis CBRE VALUATION & ADVISORY SERVICES 15 © 2025 CBRE, INC The subject property can support development of various retail uses and service uses.

The current submarket inventory represents approximately 4.9% of the overall market inventory. The following observations were noted from the table above: • As of 2nd Quarter 2025, there was approximately 6,676,035 square feet of occupied retail space (including sublet space), resulting in an occupancy rate of 94.5% for the submarket. This reflects a decrease from the previous quarter’s occupancy of 95.6%, and a small decrease from an occupancy rate of 95.0% from last year. The submarket occupancy is below the 96.0% market occupancy. • The submarket experienced negative 73,144 square feet of net absorption for the current quarter. This indicates a decline from the previous quarter’s positive 41,973 square feet of net absorption, and an improvement from the negative 81,862 square feet of net absorption from a year ago. Overall, the submarket has experienced negative 31,171 square feet of net absorption for the current year-to-date period. The submarket’s current net absorption of negative 73,144 square feet compares favorably with the overall market net absorption of negative 163,090 square feet. • The submarket had zero completions for the current quarter, which indicates a decrease from the previous quarter’s completions of positive 3,000 square feet, and a decrease from the completions of positive 2,500 square feet from last year.     City Council 17 – 31 2/17/2026 Market Analysis CBRE VALUATION & ADVISORY SERVICES 16 © 2025 CBRE, INC • The submarket achieved average asking rent of $33.69 per square foot, which indicates a small decrease from the previous quarter’s asking rent of $33.71 per square foot, and an increase from the asking rent of $33.36 per square foot from last year. The submarket’s current asking rent of $33.69 per square foot is below the overall market asking rent of $39.17 per square foot. Submarket Inventory is projected to be 7,057,073 square feet at the end of the current year, which represents a small decrease from the previous year’s submarket inventory of 7,057,921 square feet. Inventory for next year is projected to be 7,047,728 square feet, reflecting a small decrease from the current year.     City Council 17 – 32 2/17/2026 Market Analysis CBRE VALUATION & ADVISORY SERVICES 17 © 2025 CBRE, INC Submarket occupancy is projected to be 95.0% at the end of the current year, which represents no change from the previous year’s submarket occupancy of 95.0%. Submarket occupancy for next year is projected to be 95.4%, reflecting an increase from the current year. Net absorption in the submarket is projected to be negative 2,647 square feet at the end of the current year, reflecting an improvement from the previous year’s net absorption of negative 81,862 square feet. Net     City Council 17 – 33 2/17/2026 Market Analysis CBRE VALUATION & ADVISORY SERVICES 18 © 2025 CBRE, INC absorption for next year is projected to be positive 21,630 square feet, indicating an improvement from the current year. The submarket is projected to achieve completions of negative 848 square feet at the end of the current year, which indicates a decline from the previous year’s completions of positive 2,500 square feet. The submarket is projecting completions of negative 9,345 square feet for next year, which indicates a decline from the current year.     City Council 17 – 34 2/17/2026 Market Analysis CBRE VALUATION & ADVISORY SERVICES 19 © 2025 CBRE, INC The submarket is projected to achieve average asking of $34.11 per square foot at the end of the current year, which represents an increase from the previous year’s asking rent of $33.36 per square foot. The submarket is projected to achieve average asking rent of $35.27 per square foot, reflecting an increase from the current year. As of Q2 2025, the average asking rent was reported at $33.69 per square foot per year which is a slight increase from $32.80 the year prior. For 2023, an increase of 3.53% was reported for asking rents and an increase of 3.73% was reported for 2024. An increase of 0.67% is projected for 2025. While average asking rents have shown increases since 2023, this is tempered slightly by limited new completions reported in 2024. There was 3,000 square feet of new retail space completed in Q1 2025, and no new completions in Q2 2025. Absorption was positive in Q1 2025, but negative in Q2 2025. Absorption was negative overall for 2024. While rental rates are seeing growth, this is tempered by the negative absorption rates. Occupancy rates have been relatively stable since the beginning of 2024. Overall, this indicates a relatively stable retail market.     City Council 17 – 35 2/17/2026 Highest and Best Use CBRE VALUATION & ADVISORY SERVICES 20 © 2025 CBRE, INC In appraisal practice, the concept of highest and best use represents the premise upon which value is based. The four criteria the highest and best use must meet are: • legally permissible; • physically possible; • financially feasible; and • maximally productive. The highest and best use analysis of the subject is discussed below. The subject property is zoned C2, General Commercial, which allows a variety of retail and service uses and professional and administrative offices. The subject is adequately served by utilities, and has an adequate shape and size, sufficient access, and other necessary attributes for development consistent with zoning. Existing structures on similar sites provides additional evidence for the physical possibility of development. Potential uses of the site include retail or office uses. The determination of financial feasibility is dependent primarily on the relationship of supply and demand for the legally probable land uses versus the cost to create the uses. While there is a government office use on the south side of Walnut Street, there are no other office uses in the area. Additionally, there is no evidence of new office development in the subject area. There was evidence of new retail development along Bristol Street northeast of the subject. Development of a retail use on the site is considered financially feasible. The final test of highest and best use of the site as if vacant is that the use be maximally productive, yielding the highest return to the land. The highest and best use of the site, as vacant, would be to develop with a retail use.     City Council 17 – 36 2/17/2026 Land Value CBRE VALUATION & ADVISORY SERVICES 21 © 2025 CBRE, INC Our sales research focused on transactions within the following parameters: • Location: Within a 5-mile radius. • Size: 5,000 square feet to 55,000 square feet.

As such, no adjustments for cash equivalency were necessary. In addition, the sales reflected arm’s length transactions; therefore, no adjustments for conditions of sale were warranted. Details of each of the comparable are located on the data sheets in the addenda of this report. Market Conditions Changes in the economic environment over time that affect the appreciation and depreciation of real estate. Based on our analysis, which includes discussions with market participants, retail rental rates (for the improved market) saw increases in 2023 and 2024. Based on our discussions with market participants, land has not seen the same increases and values have been relatively stable since early 2025. We have utilized an upward adjustment of 2.5% annually from January 2023 through December 2024 and have held values stable from January 2025 to the present to account for market conditions. Size Considers the inverse relationship that often exists between parcel size and unit value. Comparable 4 is larger than the subject and warrants and upward adjustment. Comparable 5 is smaller than the subject and warrants a downward adjustment. Shape The subject property has a slightly irregular shape. Comparables 3 and 4 have long and narrow shapes that are considered inferior when compared to the subject property. Comparables 3 and 4 warrant upward adjustments.     City Council 17 – 38 2/17/2026 Land Value CBRE VALUATION & ADVISORY SERVICES 23 © 2025 CBRE, INC Corner/Access The subject property has a corner orientation. Comparables 2, 3, 4, and 5 have interior orientation and are considered inferior when compared to the subject. Comparables 2, 3, 4, and 5 warrant upward adjustments. Visibility/Frontage The subject property is situated along a two secondary streets. Comparables 1, 2, and 4 have frontage along arterial streets and have superior visibility when compared to the subject. Comparables 1, 2, and 4 warrant downward adjustments. Location Market or submarket area influences on sale price; and surrounding land use influences. We have also considered asking rental rates in determining a location adjustment. Comparable 3 is located in Costa Mesa, which is considered superior when compared to the subject and warrants a downward adjustment. Zoning/Density Density of development and productivity of the land can be impacted by differences in land use regulations, although land may be similarly zoned. Comparable 3 has a commercial zoning designation that is more restrictive than the subject’s zoning designation. Comparable 3 warrants an upward adjustment. Entitlements Planning approvals in place at the time of sale. Comparable 4 sold with a completed EIR, which is superior to the subject and warrants a downward adjustment.     City Council 17 – 39 2/17/2026 Land Value CBRE VALUATION & ADVISORY SERVICES 24 © 2025 CBRE, INC Based on our comparative analysis, the following chart summarizes the adjustments warranted to each comparable.

Comparables 1 and 2 are superior primarily due to their superior visibility/frontage. Comparable 5 is superior as a result of its smaller size. Comparable 3 is considered inferior due to its long and narrow shape, interior orientation, and inferior zoning. These factors are partially offset by tis superior location. Comparable 4 is considered inferior as a result of its larger size, and inferior shape. These factors are partially offset by its superior visibility/frontage. We have bracketed the range of value for the subject between Comparable 4, which is inferior at $59.08 per square foot and Comparable 1, which is superior at $65.22 per square foot.

The acquisitions all involve temporary construction easements (TCEs). This assignment required an analysis of temporary severance damages due to impacts to rear yards as well as a valuation of all site improvements in the TCE areas. Appraisal of 50+ commercial properties impacted by various types of partial acquisitions related to the I-405. Some of the appraisals were extremely complex with significant severance damage studies required.  Multiple appraisal assignments for LACMTA included:  Appraisal of a 1.25-acre parcel improved with a Class A, 12-story, medical office building constructed circa 1962, an adjacent one-story bank building and an attached four-story parking structure known as the Westwood Medical Plaza. It is located along the proposed Purple Line Subway Extension Project Corridor, specifically on the northeast corner of Wilshire Boulevard and Westwood Boulevard in the Westwood neighborhood within the City of Los Angeles. As part of this project, LACMTA is seeking acquire various permanent and temporary property interests, and to relocate existing tenants within the subject property.

Consideration was given to the redevelopment potential of the site and the benefits to the remainder, as well as to the value of the parts taken.  Appraisal involving the valuation of partial acquisitions impacting the Westfield Mall in Century City as part of LACMTA’s Purple Line extension. This assignment was challenging with respect to valuing the underlying land associated with the larger parcel. The property is unique due to its location and its size. Complexities involved determining the number of trips allocated to the site as this in part drives land value. Again, consideration was given to damages and benefits, as well as to the value of the parts taken.     City Council 17 – 55 2/17/2026 ©2025 CBRE, INC. PROFILES  Appraisal of numerous surface and subsurface acquisitions were required on the Veteran’s Administration property for the construction of a subway station and tunnel easements for LACMTA’s Purple Line.

These properties all had a three-foot-wide partial taking along their frontage to accommodate the construction of a 69 kV transmission line. This represented Phase One of this assignment. Phase Two involved the partial taking of land over seven properties owned by UCR for the construction of a transmission line. The final phase involved approximately 100 properties of various types which were impacted by partial acquisitions for the construction of a transmission line. The final phase involved approximately 90 properties of various types which will be impacted by partial takes for the construction of a transmission line.  Appraisal of in excess of 75 private properties on behalf of CHSRA. The property types included agricultural, commercial and residential. Most of the appraisals involved partial acquisitions. In addition, Ms. Finestone completed the appraisal of over 50 railroad corridor properties in conjunction with the high-speed rail project.  Appraisal of the Del Mar Fairgrounds, Racetrack, and Horsepark (450 acres of land and over 1,000,000 square feet in improvements) for the California Department of General Services.  Completed an appraisal of a property that represents one of the largest parcels of undeveloped and unprotected coastal property in Southern California (Banning Ranch). Much of the site had been occupied by oil operations since the 1940’s. The appraisal of this property was very complex in that the highest and best use of the property was not clear at the onset of the assignment. This property consists of degraded wetlands, open space, and a small area with the potential for residential development. The goal of this project was to prepare an appraisal for acquisition purposes such that the buyer and seller could agree on a purchase price and put the property under contract.  West Coyote Hills: Appraised Neighborhoods 1 and 3 of Vested Tentative Tract Map (VTTM) 17609. This is commonly referred to as Neighborhoods 1 and 3 of the West Coyotes Hills Property. Neighborhood 1 consists of 10.4± acres and was proposed for development with 16 residential units.

This report was prepared to Federal Standards in conformance with Yellow Book guidelines and the acquisition was made based on our appraisal.  Appraisal in Fresno County for the State Department of Water Resources, which included 22 permanent flowage easements and three partial fee acquisitions. Some of the proposed flowage easements overlapped existing road and utility easements which had to be considered. Due to the nature of the flowage easements, substantial severance damages accrued to the remainder parcels which had to be considered. This assignment also included the consideration of orchard and crop values.  Multiple appraisal assignments for the U.S. Department of the Interior, Appraisal and Valuation Services Office (AVSO) prepared to Federal Standards in accordance with Yellow Book guidelines.

Community Land Trust 1907 West Walnut Street, Unit 100 Santa Ana, CA 92703 thrivesantaana.org December 3, 2025 VIA ELECTRONIC MAIL City of Santa Ana 20 Civic Center Plaza Santa Ana, CA 92701 Attn: Mike Garcia Economic Development Agency Re: 1901 W Walnut Street Dear City of Santa Ana, Staff and Council, Thank you for providing the appraisal of the property. Per the City’s letter and appraisal (attached for reference), the appraised value of the property is $1,030,000. The state grant that THRIVE will be using provides $852,000 for the acquisition of this property. Pursuant to California Government Code Section 53038, THRIVE is requesting an economic development subsidy of $178,000, equivalent to the difference between the appraised value of the property and the grant amount. In other words, THRIVE would acquire the property from the City for $852,000, which is below market value. We believe this subsidy would result in a tremendously positive fiscal impact for the City. The City would generate $852,0001 in unrestricted revenue directly to the General Fund, whereas under the current ground lease the City would only generate $1,152 over the next 96 years. Furthermore, the proposed purchase would support the City’s commitment to community land trust strategies in Santa Ana. When the original Disposition and Development Agreement was approved, the City supported an Option to Purchase, such that THRIVE could fully acquire the site and grow the community land trust. This, in turn, builds capacity for affordable and community-led economic development in the future. La Colmena has already proven to revitalize a vacant, City-owned property into a vibrant community hub that improves the safety and quality of life of the surrounding neighborhood. The project has already generated at least 3 full-time jobs, 5 part-time jobs, and more than 30 temporary jobs throughout the duration of construction. THRIVE anticipates at least 10 part time jobs and many local contracts will be created as a result of the project over the next 5 years. 1 Minus cost of appraisal, and any closing costs. EXHIBIT 3     City Council 17 – 59 2/17/2026 We believe the above described fiscal impact to the City and economic development through job creation not only justify the subsidy, but will also have positive, compounding benefits to the local community. If the City has any questions or alternative suggestions, THRIVE is readily available to discuss. Thank you for your consideration, Luis Sarmiento THRIVE Santa Ana (714)987-2009 c (714)425-5562     City Council 17 – 60 2/17/2026 Economic Development Subsidy Report Pursuant to Government Code Section 53083 For the Sale of City Property to THRIVE Santa Ana, Inc. Pursuant to Government Code Section 53083, the City Council of the City of Santa Ana must hold a noticed public hearing and, prior to the public hearing, provide all of the following information in written form and available to the public through the City’s website regarding a proposed economic development subsidy provided by the City pursuant to sale of city-owned property at 1901 W. Walnut Street, Santa Ana, CA 92703, with THRIVE Santa Ana, Inc. Notice was published on February 2, 2026 for a Public Hearing to be held on February 17, 2026. The purpose of this report is to provide the information required pursuant to Government Code Section 53083 in regards to the Purchase and Sale Agreement. This report shall remain available to the public and posted on the City’s website until the end date of the economic development subsidy, as further described in number 2 below. (1)The name and address of all corporations or any other business entities, except for sole proprietorships, that are the beneficiary of the economic development subsidy, if applicable. The Agreement is with THRIVE Santa Ana, Inc., a 501(c)(3) tax exempt California Public Benefit Corporation. THRIVE Santa Ana, Inc. P.O. Box 1935 Santa Ana, CA 92702 (2)The start and end dates and schedule, if applicable, for the economic development subsidy. Upon City Council approval of the Purchase and Sale agreement, the start date for the subsidy will commence on February 17, 2026 upon execution of the agreement. (3)A description of the economic development subsidy, including the estimated total amount of the expenditure of public funds by, or of revenue lost to, the local agency as a result of the economic development subsidy. The economic development subsidy is in the form of accepting a below market value offer to purchase city-owned property at 1901 W. Walnut Street, Santa Ana, CA, 92703. The fair market value of the property based on an appraisal was $1,030,000. The City Council approved accepted purchase price was $852,000. The estimated amount of lost revenue is $178,000. No expenditure of public funds is anticipated by this agreement. EXHIBIT 4     City Council 17 – 61 2/17/2026 (4) A statement of the public purposes for the economic development subsidy. The property at 1901 W Walnut has been vacant for over 12 years. Development of the site as a microfarm brings positive community benefits to the area that include: 1) making organic produce and other healthy options more available in the local neighborhood, 2) implementing a membership-based model to provide monthly baskets of vegetables, fruit and other garden products to members at a low cost, 3) creating worker cooperative jobs, 4) encouraging participation from local residents which can contribute to the local neighborhood economy, civic engagement, and prevention of costly health conditions including obesity and mental health illnesses. (5) Projected tax revenue to the local agency as a result of the economic development subsidy. Property tax revenue to the City is anticipated to be approximately $1,500 per year. No sales tax revenue would be generated as a result of the economic development subsidy as the sales for a microfarm with organic produce would not be subject to sales tax. (6) Estimated number of jobs created by the economic development subsidy, broken down by full-time, part-time, and temporary positions. The microfarm has created 5 full-time jobs, 10 part-time jobs, and 30 temporary positions during construction. THRIVE estimates that at least 10 new part time jobs and many local contracts will be created as a result of the project over the next 5 years.     City Council 17 – 62 2/17/2026 EXHIBIT 5     City Council 17 – 63 2/17/2026 PURCHASE AND SALE AGREEMENT THIS PURCHASE AND SALE AGREEMENT (“Agreement”) is made and entered into this 17th day of February, 2026 (“Effective Date”), by and between THRIVE Santa Ana, INC., a California nonprofit public benefit corporation (“Buyer”), and the CITY OF SANTA ANA, a charter city and municipal corporation organized and existing under the Constitution and laws of the State of California (“Seller” or “City”).

Box 1988 Attention: City Clerk No recording fee required; this document is exempt from fee pursuant to Section 6103 of the California Government Code SPACE ABOVE THIS LINE FOR RECORDER’S USE MICRO-FARM COVENANT For a valuable consideration, receipt of which is hereby acknowledged: The City of Santa Ana, a California charter city in the County of Orange of the State of California (“Grantor” or “City”), granted to THRIVE Santa Ana, Inc., a California nonprofit public benefit corporation (“Grantee”), that certain real property described in Exhibit “A” attached hereto and incorporated herein by this reference (“Property”) pursuant to the Grant Deed recorded against the Property at the same time as this Micro-Farm Covenant. 1. The Property was conveyed in accordance with and subject to that certain Purchase and Sale Agreement (“Agreement”) dated _________ , entered into between Grantor and Grantee, a copy of which is on file with the City at its offices as a Public Record and which is incorporated herein by reference. The Agreement requires the Grantee to meet all requirements as set forth therein. All defined terms used herein shall have the same meaning as those used in the Agreement. 2. The Agreement acknowledges and agrees that the Property is quitclaimed by the City to the Grantee in its "AS IS," "WHERE IS" and "SUBJECT TO ALL FAULTS CONDITION," as of the date of recordation of this Micro-Farm Covenant, with no warranties, expressed or implied, as to the environmental or other physical condition of the Property, the presence or absence of any patent or latent environmental or other physical condition on or in the Property, or any other matters affecting the Property. 3. Covenants Running with the Land. As provided in the Agreement, the following covenants are running with the land: 3.1. Micro-Farm: Grantee shall continue to operate the Property and Project as a micro-farm for a period of at least thirty (30) years from the date of the recording of this Micro-     City Council 17 – 92 2/17/2026 1032/028269-0007 15373821.8 a02/09/26 Exhibit “C” -2- Farm Covenant. If the Project or Property is no longer operated as a micro-farm in accordance with the Micro-Farm Covenant, Grantee shall be in default under the Agreement and the Micro- Farm Covenant. 3.2. Right of First Offer: Before Grantee offers the Property for sale to any third party or on the open market, Grantee shall first offer the Property for sale back to Grantor in writing upon all terms and conditions which Grantee is willing to offer to any third person or on the open market (“Notice”). Grantor shall notify the Grantee of its acceptance of the offer to purchase set forth in the Notice, less a credit for the repayment of the Economic Development Subsidy ($178,000), within sixty (60) days after delivery of the Notice (“Deadline Date”). If Grantor fails to notify Grantee of its acceptance to re-purchase the Property by the Deadline Date, Grantor’s right of first offer shall be deemed to have automatically and without further notice expired and Grantee shall thereafter have the right to offer the Property to any third person or on the open market on terms and conditions stated in the Notice (or on terms which are better, but not worse, for the Grantee). If Grantee does not consummate a sale of the Property on the terms and conditions set forth in the Offer (or on terms which are better, but not worse, for Grantee) within sixty (60) days of after the Deadline Date, this right of first offer shall revive. If, however, Grantee consummates the sale of the Property to a Third Party within said sixty (60) days after the Deadline Date, this right of first offer shall thereupon automatically without further notice terminate. 3.3. Economic Development Subsidy Lien: In the event Grantee consummates a sale of the Property to a party other than Grantor/City, in accordance with the Right of First Offer above, within thirty (30) years following the Close of Escrow (the “Subsidy Recapture Period”), Grantee shall be required to re-pay the Economic Development Subsidy ($178,000) to Grantor upon the completion of such sale. Upon expiration of the Subsidy Recapture Period, the Economic Development Subsidy shall be deemed fully vested and no repayment obligation shall apply to any sale of the Property to a party other than Grantor/City occurring thereafter. If Grantee fails to timely re-pay the Economic Development Subsidy upon sale of the Property during the Subsidy Recapture Period, Grantor shall have the right to record a lien against the Property in accordance with this Micro-Farm Covenant. 3.4. City Use Rights: Grantor shall have the right to use the Property once per quarter for City events, without any “use” fee or other similar charges, for a period of five (5) years after the date of recording of this Micro-Farm Covenant. Thereafter, Grantor can use the Property for City events under the terms of Grantee’s Space Use Agreement, which includes a minimum fee. Grantor and Grantee will work cooperatively to plan City events, upon mutually agreed upon dates between the Parties. The City shall pay for all costs and expenses associated with City events, including clean-up and damages. Grantee may request that Grantor sign a license agreement, or other similar agreement, with reasonable terms, concerning City events. 3.5. Prohibition on Assignment or Transfer: Grantee shall not assign or transfer (including an assignment by operation of law or lease) Grantee’s interest in the Property, or any portion thereof (hereinafter referred to collectively as “Transfer”) without the written consent of Grantor, which consent will not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned, or delayed, for a period of thirty (30) years from the date of recording of this Micro-Farm Covenant. Grantee’s failure to obtain Grantor’s written consent to a Transfer shall render such Transfer void. Existing uses at the Micro-Farm are consented to and allowed to continue, including urban farming, cooperative businesses, café and craft artisanry, without further consent.     City Council 17 – 93 2/17/2026 1032/028269-0007 15373821.8 a02/09/26 Exhibit “C” -3- 3.6. All obligations imposed upon Grantee herein shall bind any and all successors of Grantee (subject to Section 7 below). 4.If Grantee breaches any of the Covenants Running with the Land above, Grantee shall have fourteen (14) days following written notice of default from the Grantor to cure such default. In the event Grantee fails to cure such default, Grantee shall be liable for liquidated damages in accordance with the Agreement. 5.All covenants contained in this Micro-Farm Covenant shall be covenants running with the land and equitable servitudes thereon. The covenants contained in Sections 3 and 4 herein shall automatically terminate upon (a) thirty (30) years from the date the Micro-Farm Covenant is recorded; or (b) Grantee’s payment of liquidated damages in accordance with the Agreement, without further notice or documentation. 6.The covenants contained herein shall be binding for the benefit of Grantor, the City of Santa Ana and, if applicable, any successor in interest to said parties. Such covenants shall run in favor of the Grantor and such aforementioned parties for the entire period during which such covenants shall be in force and effect, without regard to whether the Grantor is or remains an owner of any land or interest therein to which such covenants relate. The right to exercise all of the right and remedies, and to maintain any actions at law or suits in equity or contained in this Micro-Farm Covenant shall be for the benefit of and shall be enforceable only by the Grantor and such aforementioned parties. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Micro-Farm Covenant, no default by Grantee hereunder shall result in any forfeiture of fee title to the Property. 7.Nothing in this Micro-Farm Covenant shall restrict Grantee from unencumbering the Property with a deed of trust or mortgage. Any amendment to these Micro-Farm Covenant shall require the consent of any mortgagee. No portion of this Micro-Farm Covenant or any amendment or violation thereof shall operate to defeat or render invalid, in whole or in part, the rights or protection of the beneficiary, insurer, guarantor, or holder of any mortgage or deed of trust encumbering any portion of the Property. Notwithstanding anything in this Micro-Farm Covenant to the contrary, in the event of any foreclosure or deed -in-lieu of foreclosure by lender holding a deed of trust or mortgagee on the Property, any successor owner shall acquire fee title to the Property free of any obligations under this Micro-Farm Covenant. 8.The covenants contained herein shall be deemed to be covenants running with the land and shall bind and benefit future purchasers, encumbrances and transferee.

HCD reviewed the City’s Notice of Exemption (Notice) and supporting documentation pursuant to Section 400 of the Surplus Land Act Guidelines. As explained below, HCD finds that the Property qualifies as “exempt surplus land” under Government Code section 54221, subdivision (f)(1)(B). Analysis As provided in Government Code section 54221, subdivision (f)(1)(B), “exempt surplus land” includes “[s]urplus land that is less than one-half acre in area and is not contiguous to land owned by a state or local agency that is used for open-space or low- and moderate-income housing purposes.” According to the Notice, the Property is no longer necessary for the City’s use and is less than one-half acre (0.38 acres) in area. Additionally, the Property is not contiguous to land owned by a state or local agency that is used for open space or low- and moderate- income housing purposes. On December 1, 2025, the City confirmed that Government Code section 54221, subdivision (f)(2) does not apply to the Property and, therefore, a written notice of availability for open-space purposes is not required. EXHIBIT 7     City Council 17 – 96 2/17/2026 Julie Castro, Economic Development Specialist III Page 2 SLA0002295 Conclusion If the submitted documentation and assertions by the City are complete and accurate, HCD finds that the Property qualifies as “exempt surplus land” under Government Code section 54221, subdivision (f)(1)(B).

Santa Ana’s 49 parks and open space areas comprise five large city parks, 18 community parks, 12 neighborhood parks, 11 pocket parks, and three urban plazas. Many of the rules governing City parks in Santa Ana Municipal Code (SAMC) Chapter 31 were adopted decades ago and no longer reflect how parks are commonly used today. Under current regulations, activities such as picnicking, small group gatherings, and vending are either prohibited or require permits even when they do not meaningfully impact park operations. In addition, recreation trends have evolved, including increased use of non-motorized scooters in skate parks, yet the SAMC has not been updated to reflect these changes. The purpose of this item is to modernize park rules to reduce unnecessary barriers to everyday park use, support local small businesses, and make City parks and open spaces more welcoming and accessible, while preserving public safety, accessibility, and the City’s ability to manage park resources effectively. Picnicking in City Parks Picnicking is a basic and widely expected park activity for families and community members. Current rules prohibit picnicking and food preparation unless conducted in areas specifically designated by the Parks Director, which can create confusion and unnecessary enforcement challenges. Updating the SAMC to allow picnicking by default reflects how parks are actually used today, while still allowing the City to restrict picnicking in specific areas when needed for fire prevention, resource protection, or to accommodate permitted or reserved uses.     City Council 18 – 1 2/17/2026 CITY ATTORNEY Sonia R. Carvalho CITY MANAGER Alvaro Nuñez CITY CLERK Jennifer L. Hall 20 CIVIC CENTER PLAZA - P.O. BOX 1988, M31 - SANTA ANA, CALIFORNIA 92702 TELEPHONE (714) 647-6900 - FAX (714) 647-6954 - www.santa-ana.org Vending in City Parks Allowing vending in City parks supports local businesses, promotes free-market economic activity, and helps activate public spaces for community use. Parks are places where residents gather, socialize, and spend time, and limited access to goods and services can reduce the overall park experience. A modernized approach could allow roaming vending in City parks, subject to City permitting requirements and clear, objective operational standards that address public safety, pedestrian access, sanitation, and park operations. This approach would encourage small-scale entrepreneurship, increase economic activity in and around parks, and provide park users with convenient access to food and other goods, while maintaining appropriate safeguards to ensure parks remain safe, accessible, and well- managed. Coordinated amendments to Chapter 26 (Pushcarts) are necessary to ensure consistency across the SAMC and to avoid conflicting provisions that would unintentionally prohibit park vending despite any City Council policy direction that may originate from this agenda item. Park Reservations and Permit Requirements Current permit requirements can create unnecessary barriers for families and community groups seeking to use parks for casual gatherings. Requiring permits for activities that do not involve exclusive use of space or significant operational impacts can discourage positive park use and strain staff resources. Updating attendance thresholds and clarifying when permits are required would allow staff to focus on managing uses that truly affect park operations, such as exclusive reservations, amplified sound, temporary structures, or organized events, while reducing friction for everyday park users. Skate Park Use Recreation trends have evolved, and many skate parks now accommodate a wider range of self-propelled, non-motorized wheeled transportation apparatus used by youth and community members. Allowing self-propelled, non-motorized wheeled transportation apparatuses in City skate parks would expand access, reflect modern recreation practices, and make skate parks more inclusive for a broader range of users. Under this approach, motorized devices would continue to be prohibited, and existing safety equipment and operational requirements would remain in place. This update balances expanded access with safety considerations and recognizes how skate parks are commonly used today. RECOMMENDATION Discuss and consider directing the City Manager, in coordination with the City Attorney and appropriate departments, to direct staff as follows: 1. Allow picnicking in City parks by preparing amendments to Santa Ana Municipal Code section 31-2.11 to permit picnicking and casual food consumption by default, with targeted restrictions where necessary for safety, fire prevention, resource protection, or permitted and reserved uses.     City Council 18 – 2 2/17/2026 CITY ATTORNEY Sonia R.

Allow vending in City parks by preparing amendments to Santa Ana Municipal Code section 31-2.18 to permit vending in City parks, including roaming vending, subject to City permitting requirements and operational standards related to public safety, pedestrian access, sanitation, and park operations. 3. Coordinate updates to Chapter 26 (Pushcarts) by preparing amendments to Santa Ana Municipal Code Chapter 26 to ensure consistency with Chapter 31, explicitly allow vending in City parks where authorized, and avoid conflicting provisions that would undermine the City’s park vending policy. 4. Update park reservation and permit thresholds by preparing amendments to Santa Ana Municipal Code section 31-3 to increase attendance thresholds that trigger permit requirements and clarify that permits are required primarily for exclusive use of park space, use of City facilities or resources, amplified sound, temporary structures, organized vending, or other uses that materially impact park operations. 5. Modernize skate park regulations by preparing amendments to Santa Ana Municipal Code section 31-5 to allow self-propelled, non-motorized wheeled transportation apparatus in City skate parks, while continuing to prohibit motorized devices and maintaining existing safety equipment and operational requirements. 6. Report back to the City Council with proposed ordinance amendments and an implementation plan within a timeframe determined by the City Manager. SUBMITTED BY Councilmember Jessie Lopez     City Council 18 – 3 2/17/2026 Public Works Agency www.santa-ana.org/pw Item # 19 City of Santa Ana 20 Civic Center Plaza, Santa Ana, CA 92701 Staff Report February 17, 2026 TOPIC: City Council Work Study Session Regarding the First Street Multimodal Boulevard Study AGENDA TITLE City Council Work Study Session Regarding the First Street Multimodal Boulevard Study RECOMMENDED ACTION Discuss and provide direction to staff. GOVERNMENT CODE §84308 APPLIES: No DISCUSSION Per the approved General Plan Update, First Street between Bristol Street and Tustin Avenue is envisioned as a multimodal corridor through a series of safety and infrastructure improvements and enhancements. The goal of these improvements is to benefit all users of First Street, including pedestrians, cyclists, and public transportation users who utilize Orange County Transportation Authority’s (OCTA) Route 64, identified as one of the highest ridership bus routes in Orange County. BACKGROUND On April 12, 2023, OCTA submitted an application to the Southern California Association of Governments (SCAG) for Regional Early Action Planning (REAP 2.0) grant funding on behalf of the City. REAP 2.0 seeks to reduce vehicle miles traveled and facilitate the implementation of adopted regional and local plans to achieve these goals. On July 6, 2023, SCAG awarded OCTA REAP 2.0 grant funds for planning, outreach, transit, active transportation, and transit signal priority projects, which included funding for the First Street Boulevard Multimodal Study. The study examines options to enhance transportation along First Street by evaluating the feasibility of various infrastructure improvements through extensive community outreach, field data analyses, modeling, design, and environmental clearance with the intent of identifying and designing a Locally Preferred Alternative (LPA). The study evaluates multimodal improvements that promote the safety and transportation goals included in the City’s recently adopted General Plan Mobility Element Update.     City Council 19 – 1 2/17/2026 First Street Multimodal Boulevard Study February 17, 2026 Page 2 5 5 3 4 A Request for Proposals (RFP) was issued on February 25, 2025 seeking qualified firms to provide traffic engineering and transportation planning services for the First Street Multimodal Boulevard Study. On May 20, 2025, HDR Engineering, Inc. (HDR) was subsequently awarded an agreement to conduct the study. The Study commenced June 4, 2025 with a grant deadline of December 2026. Due to the compressed schedule, selection of an LPA in early 2026 will allow adequate time to develop 100% final engineering and design. OCTA has been awarded grant funding of up to $2 million for the construction of the LPA but this falls significantly short of the amount that will be needed for construction. Both the City and OCTA are concurrently identifying additional funding needed for the construction of this project. THE STUDY The First Street Multimodal Boulevard Study is a comprehensive effort to re-envision approximately three miles of First Street from Bristol Street to Tustin Avenue as a safer, more accessible, and more equitable corridor for all users, including people walking, bicycling, riding transit, and driving. Initiated in May 2025, the Study responds to the City’s General Plan Mobility Element and community-identified needs to improve safety, reduce speed-related collisions, enhance access to transit, and better serve the corridor’s diverse and often vulnerable populations. The presentation is included as Exhibit 1. The analysis, findings, and detailed technical documentation is summarized in a technical memorandum. The Technical Memorandum (Exhibit 2) documents existing conditions, traffic and safety analysis, equity assessment, community outreach, alternatives development, and evaluation of design concepts. The Study corridor extends approximately three miles from Bristol Street to Tustin Avenue, crossing downtown Santa Ana, the railroad underpass, and the I-5 freeway interchange. Figure 1: First Street Corridor The Study evaluated existing conditions, conducted extensive technical analysis, and implemented a robust, multilingual community engagement process that reached more than 1,100 participants. Eight (8) initial multimodal options were developed and     City Council 19 – 2 2/17/2026 First Street Multimodal Boulevard Study February 17, 2026 Page 3 5 5 3 4 evaluated. Based on performance metrics, policy alignment, and community and stakeholder input, three concepts emerged as the most viable alternatives. PROJECT BACKGROUND The City of Santa Ana's First Street Multimodal Boulevard Study aims to transform and improve the First Street corridor between Bristol Street and Tustin Avenue for all modes of transportation. A multimodal street is one that balances the needs of all users, including people walking, biking, riding transit, and driving–while also functioning as a community space that supports social, economic, and environmental vitality. Boulevards and major streets like First Street play a vital role in cities, not only as conduits for mobility, but as central public spaces shared by residents, visitors, and people of all ages and abilities. In 2022, the City adopted its updated General Plan Mobility Element, identifying First Street as a Pedestrian Opportunity Zone. This designation reflects the corridor’s importance as a place, not just a roadway, and its potential to support walking, bicycling, transit use, economic activity, and community life. The First Street Multimodal Boulevard Study was initiated to: Improve safety for vulnerable roadway users; Reduce vehicle speeds and severe collisions; Enhance pedestrian comfort, shade, and amenities; Provide safe, connected bicycle facilities; Improve transit performance and rider experience; and Reconnect neighborhoods divided by wide roadway crossings. Pedestrian Opportunity Zones are defined as an area that supports or should support high levels of pedestrian activity due to its proximity to activity centers, mixed-use development, and transit stops. These zones are intended to foster a walkable and vibrant public realm through improvements such as wider sidewalks, safer crossings, and an enhanced streetscape. Figure 2 shows examples of best street practices for pedestrian facilities. Vibrant urban boulevards with amenities and storefronts should have a minimum width of 15 feet. Urban streets with trees should have a minimum of 12 feet to still allow for comfortable pedestrian space. Streets with small trees and walk zones should have a minimum of 9 feet. Figure 2: Best Street Practices     City Council 19 – 3 2/17/2026 First Street Multimodal Boulevard Study February 17, 2026 Page 4 5 5 3 4 EXISTING CONDITIONS AND KEY FINDINGS A walk audit was conducted, along with traffic modeling, origin-destination travel pattern analysis, safety analysis, and an in-depth assessment of existing pedestrian, bicycle, and transit conditions to establish the existing conditions of the First Street corridor. An equity assessment was also completed as part of this analysis. The following presents a high-level overview of the existing conditions analysis. Additional information, including methodology, data, and other detail can be found in the Technical Memorandum (Exhibit 2). Key multimodal findings include: Continuous sidewalks exist, but widths are often constrained and crossings are infrequent; No continuous, protected bicycle facilities currently exist, resulting in widespread sidewalk riding; Posted speeds of 40–45 mph are incompatible with the surrounding land uses and pedestrian activity; Signalized crossings are spaced far apart, creating barriers between north–south neighborhoods; Existing tree canopy is inconsistent with limited access to shade; Bus stops lack dedicated shelter lighting, wayfinding signage, and real-time arrival displays; Pedestrian and bicycle crashes account for approximately 23% of all reported collisions—significantly higher than typical for similar arterials. Figure 3: Key Findings Key findings from the existing traffic operations analysis include: Daily traffic volumes generally operate at level of service (LOS) C or better; Intersections operate at LOS D or better under existing conditions; Excessive speeds outside peak hours are common and strongly correlated with severe crashes.     City Council 19 – 4 2/17/2026 First Street Multimodal Boulevard Study February 17, 2026 Page 5 5 5 3 4 Per the City’s General Plan Mobility Element (Policy M-1.4, Motor Vehicle Level of Service), intersections of arterial streets shall maintain at least a LOS of D, except in areas planned for high intensity development or traffic safety projects. EQUITY CONSIDERATIONS The study area has higher than average rates of poverty, seniors living in poverty, renters who are cost-burdened, and residents with limited English proficiency. Travel behavior analysis shows high rates of walking and transit use, particularly among seniors and lower-income residents. These findings underscore the importance of prioritizing safety, accessibility, and comfort for those who rely most on walking, bicycling, and transit. COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT Robust community engagement was conducted from June 2025 through January 2026 using a multi-tiered strategy (Exhibit 3) that included: In-person and virtual workshops; Pop-up events at community festivals, events, and meetings; Surveys, dedicated project website, and online tools; Stakeholder, agency, and interdepartmental meetings; Community working groups and neighborhood association meetings; Spanish and Vietnamese interpretation. More than 1,100 people and 35 community partners were engaged throughout the process. Across all phases, consistent priorities emerged: Strong desire for protected bicycle facilities; Wider sidewalks, additional and safer crossings, especially near schools and bus stops; Improved bus stops, lighting, and shade; Concerns about speeding and traffic safety; Interest in designs that balance vehicle movement with safety and livability. CONCEPT DEVELOPMENT The following presents an overview of the breadth of options developed, including the top options that emerged through the process. Initial Options Twelve (12) multimodal design options were developed within the existing right-of-way, varying in: Number of vehicle travel lanes; Type and placement of bicycle facilities;     City Council 19 – 5 2/17/2026 First Street Multimodal Boulevard Study February 17, 2026 Page 6 5 5 3 4 Type, placement, and size of landscaped medians and buffers; Pedestrian zone width; Transit treatments, including bus lanes. Four (4) of the 12 options were ruled out due to either technical or operational infeasibility. As such, a total of eight (8) design options were presented at Workshop 2 and evaluated through technical analysis and a variety of public preference activities. Based on evaluation results and the various public and stakeholder preference surveys, three (3) concepts advanced for detailed technical analysis and public review at Workshop 3. All concepts incorporate certain safety enhancements, including: New signalized crossings. These four crossings are proposed at Shelton Street, Booth Street, west of Wright Street, and between Golden Circle Drive and Tustin Avenue. Each location would be equipped with a signal, high visibility markings and signage, and a paved area in the median as a refuge island. Tighter curb radii to slow turning vehicles. Most existing curb radii are 35 feet with some larger such as at the I-5 southbound ramps. For all City intersections, the curb radius is tightened to 25 feet, which slows the turning speed of vehicles making right turns and improves safety for pedestrians crossing the street. Intersection improvements. To improve travel time, improvements to intersections will include extending left-turn pockets in areas where queuing has the potential to block through traffic and the provision of new right-turn pockets at locations with high pedestrian and bicycle activity. High-visibility crosswalks. At all signalized intersections and on STOP controlled side streets, high visibility bicycle crossing and crosswalks are recommended. Continental style with high retro reflectivity is recommended for maximum visibility at night. Improved street lighting. This includes evaluating the corridor to ensure minimum lighting requirements are met and adding pedestrian scale lighting within the pedestrian and bicycle zone. Transit signal priority (TSP). Adding technology to the buses and to the traffic signal to help bus on-time performance is critical to improving access to transit. The City will work with OCTA to identify the appropriate technology and implementation strategies. Emergency Vehicle Preemption (EVP). All traffic signals will include GPS-based preemption technology to turn signals green for emergency vehicles and improve emergency response times. Improved landscape and streetscape for the corridor. Street trees, low level landscape, drainage swales, and other treatments will be integrated to help reduce the heat envelope along the corridor and to capture urban run- off. Improved bus stops are also key to the overall corridor design. Creating a uniform plant palette and furniture design will create a cohesive feel and character along the corridor.     City Council 19 – 6 2/17/2026 First Street Multimodal Boulevard Study February 17, 2026 Page 7 5 5 3 4 CONCEPT OVERVIEW The following presents an overview of the three (3) concepts that emerged as the top based on community input. Preferences for each of the three concepts were nearly equally distributed in terms of preference. Fact sheets for each concept are provided in Exhibits 4, 5, and 6. Option 1: Multi-Use Path Concept Maintains six vehicular travel lanes; Introduces shared pedestrian/bicycle path on the south side at the sidewalk level, an additional one (1) to three (3) feet of width of the sidewalk on the south side only; Sidewalk on the north side; Maintains existing vehicle capacity but includes shared spaces. No changes to intersection levels of service, automobile/transit delay, or end-to- end travel times     City Council 19 – 7 2/17/2026 First Street Multimodal Boulevard Study February 17, 2026 Page 8 5 5 3 4 Option 2: Enhanced Pedestrian and Bicycle Zone Concept Five travel lanes; Separated, protected bicycle facilities at the sidewalk level on both sides; Wider sidewalks with landscape buffers between the bicycle lane and pedestrian walkway; Reallocates one westbound travel lane to prioritize safety and comfort; Includes bus pull outs to maintain traffic flow; Extends left-turn pocket lengths and introduces new right-turn pockets at intersections identified to have operational impacts; Some traffic operational tradeoffs, but overall can be implemented without significant impacts to traffic. o Intersections at Bristol, Flower, and Downtown Plaza experience slight increases to delay and level of service o 2 minutes, 14 seconds faster end-to-end travel time in eastbound direction during the AM peak hour o 30 second increase in end-to-end travel time in westbound direction during the AM peak hour o No change to end-to-end travel time in eastbound direction during the PM peak hour o 1 minute, 30 second increase in end-to-end travel time in the westbound direction during the PM peak hour     City Council 19 – 8 2/17/2026 First Street Multimodal Boulevard Study February 17, 2026 Page 9 5 5 3 4 Option 3: Bus Lanes and Bikeway Concept Four general-purpose lanes plus dedicated transit-only bus lanes; Protected bicycle facilities on both sides; Significant transit performance benefits; Greatest potential mode shift but highest traffic operational tradeoffs. o Intersections at Bristol, Flower, Grand, and Lyon experience significant increases to delay and level of service o Left-turn queuing extends into the through lane at almost half the signalized intersections     City Council 19 – 9 2/17/2026 First Street Multimodal Boulevard Study February 17, 2026 Page 10 5 5 3 4 o 49 second increase in end-to-end travel time for automobiles in the eastbound direction during the AM peak hour compared to a 3 minute, 39 second decrease in bus travel times o 1 minute, 48 second increase in end-to-end travel time for automobiles in the eastbound direction during the PM peak hour compared to a 4 minute, 4 second decrease in bus travel times o 27 second increase in end-to-end travel time for automobiles in the westbound direction during the AM peak hour compared to a 35 second increase in bus travel times o 3 minute, 1 second increase in end-to-end travel time for automobiles in the westbound direction during the PM peak hour compared to a 2 minute, 23 second increase in bus travel times     City Council 19 – 10 2/17/2026 First Street Multimodal Boulevard Study February 17, 2026 Page 11 5 5 3 4 Concepts East of Zoo Lane For the eastern segment (I-5 to Tustin Avenue), a consistent four-lane configuration to match the existing cross-section of First Street within City of Tustin limits with expanded pedestrian and bicycle zones is proposed across all alternatives, building on a planned City rehabilitation project and Caltrans’ Freeway Ramp Active Mobility Enhancement Study (FRAMES) concept. This configuration is consistent with the vision and design standards included in the Metro East Mixed-Use Overlay Zone. The Fact Sheet for the East Side Concept is provided in Exhibit 7. TRAFFIC EVALUATION OF CONCEPTS Traffic modeling using VISSIM was conducted for opening year (2028) and design year (2048) conditions. Detailed traffic operational results are included in Exhibit 1. Key findings include: All concepts generally operate at acceptable levels of service in the opening year with targeted intersection improvements;     City Council 19 – 11 2/17/2026 First Street Multimodal Boulevard Study February 17, 2026 Page 12 5 5 3 4 Some intersections experience increased delay under lane-reduction scenarios, particularly near freeway ramps; End-to-end travel times increase slightly under the five-lane concept and increase significantly under the four-lane concept; East-side four-lane configuration operates acceptably in both opening and design years; Long-term traffic patterns will be further evaluated in coordination with OCTA to account for potential traffic redistribution. EVALUATION OF CONCEPT BENEFITS Using the goals of this project, input and feedback from the community, and the technical analysis conducted to date, a comparison of the benefits for each concept was developed. The comparison (“Harvey Ball” rating) is based on how each concept improves conditions by mode compared to the existing conditions. The table below summarizes the results of this exercise (full shade = meets goal; not shaded = does not meet goal).     City Council 19 – 12 2/17/2026 First Street Multimodal Boulevard Study February 17, 2026 Page 13 5 5 3 4 NEXT STEPS Staff will carefully review the analysis, findings, and community input and prepare a Final Technical Memorandum. Based on community input and technical analysis, staff will return to Council with a recommendation for selection of the Locally Preferred Alternative. ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT There is no environmental impact associated with the action.     City Council 19 – 13 2/17/2026 First Street Multimodal Boulevard Study February 17, 2026 Page 14 5 5 3 4 FISCAL IMPACT The City has secured grant funds for the design phase of the project only. Staff will coordinate with OCTA to identify funding strategies to potentially fund the construction of the Locally Preferred Alternative. EXHIBIT(S) 1. Presentation 2. Technical Memorandum 3.

Mike Arizabal, Senior Transportation Analyst, City of Santa Ana Public Works Agency From: Dawn L. Wilson, PE TE, Project Manager, HDR Subject: First Street Multimodal Corridor Study Project Overview Initiated in May 2025, HDR has been working closely with City of Santa Ana to develop multimodal improvements that address mobility barriers for all users along First Street. Project extents reach from Bristol Street to Tustin Avenue, approximately 3 miles through downtown, past two schools , passes under the railroad tracks, and crosses through the I-5 interchange. This technical memorandum provides an overview of the project’s progress and the tasks completed through December 2025, which included existing conditions assessment, development of 8 options and refinement to three corridor concepts, technical analysis of the options, and extensive outreach with the public, stakeholders and community groups . Project Background The City of Santa Ana's First Street Multimodal Boulevard Study (Study) aims to transform and improve the First Street corridor between Bristol Street and Tustin Avenue (see Figure 1) for all modes of transportation. A multimodal street is one that balances the needs of all users, including people walking, biking, riding transit, and driving–while also functioning as a community space that supports social, economic, and environmental vitality. Boulevards and major streets like Firs t Street play a vital role in cities, not only as conduits for mobility, but as central public spaces shared by residents, visitors, and people of all ages and abilities. In 2022, the City of Santa Ana (City) updated its General Plan Mobility Element (Mobility Element) and identified First Street as a Pedestrian Opportunity Zone to be reconfigured for multimodal improvements. Pedestrian Opportunity Zones are defined as an area that supports or should support high levels of pedestrian activity due to its proximity to activity centers, mixed-use development, and transit stops. These zones are intended to foster a walkable and vibrant public realm through improvements such as wider sidewalks, safer crossings, and an enhanced streetscape. Figure 2 shows examples of best street practices for pedestrian facilities. Vibrant urban boulevards with amenities and storefronts should have a minimum width of 15 feet. Urban streets with trees should have a minimum of 12 feet to still allow for comfortable pedestrian space. Streets with small trees and walking zones should have a minimum of 9 feet. A walk audit was conducted, along with traffic modeling, origin-destination analysis, and an in-depth assessment of existing pedestrian, bicycle, and transit conditions to establish the     City Council 19 – 65 2/17/2026 City of Santa Ana | First Street Multimodal Corridor Technical Memorandum 2 existing conditions of the First Street corridor . This information in conjunction with the technical multimodal analysis and traffic modeling and community input resulted in the development of three potential concepts that will improve the travel environment on First Street. Ultimately, these three concepts will be reviewed by City Council, and a locally preferred alternative will be selected. The City has funding to advance this alternative into final design and is in the process of securing funding for construction. Figure 1. Project Corridor Figure 2. Examples of Best Street Practices for Pedestrian Facilities        City Council 19 – 66 2/17/2026 City of Santa Ana | First Street Multimodal Corridor Technical Memorandum 3 Funding The project was funded through a REAP 2.0 grant administered by OCTA and SCAG. The grant focuses on improving access for low -income housing through improved pedestrian, bicycle and transit options . While the City did receive a short extension, the grant will expire in December 2026. Additional funding may be needed to complete the design (depending upon the timing and elements of the locally preferred alternative and the limits of the improvements). The City is working closely with OCTA to secure additional funding for construction engineering and construction of the selected improvem ents. Goals and Objectives The goal of this project is as follows: Improve the travel environment along First Street and connect people to places through a variety of reliable, safe and affordable travel options. This can be achieved by: • Prioritiz ing vulnerable roadway users. The success of implementing improvements should be measured by its ability to improve safety and accessibility for pedestrians and bicyclists. • Reduc ing vehicle speeds and address basic safety. • Add ing trees and landscape to create shade and make the corridor visually appealing. Creating a unified design for the corridor will improve the quality of the travel experience. • Add ing new north-south crossings to improve connectivity across the street. With a limited number of existing controlled crossings, First Street serves as a barrier between communities north and south of the corridor. • Creating a continuous, high-quality bike network that connects to north-south regional routes . Most bicyclists currently travel on the sidewalk due to safety concerns riding in the street. Providing wider sidewalks to accommodate either a Class 1 multiuse path or Class IV bikeways improves safety for both pedestrians and bicyclists . • Enhanc ing and improving transit performance and the rider experience. Provide features such as dedicated lanes or bus priority to improve the efficiency of buses along this highly traveled route. Existing Conditions Pedestrians and Bicycles For this analysis, First Street is grouped into three segments, each with distinct characteristics that coincide with neighborhoods and districts identified in the City’s General Plan. While district boundaries outside the city core are more flexible and may overlap due to shared characteristics such as architectural style, scale, and overall character, the     City Council 19 – 67 2/17/2026 City of Santa Ana | First Street Multimodal Corridor Technical Memorandum 4 introduction of newer large-scale commercial and mixed-use developments is expected to create clearer, more defined boundaries in Santa Ana. The Pedestrian and Bicycle Analysis Technical Memorandum (attached separately) provide a more detailed assessment of the findings presented in this section. West Bristol Hub: Bristol Street to Main St  • Neighborhoods: Flower Park, Downtown, Pico-Lowell, Heninger Park  • Character: Heavily commercial with shopping centers, civic uses, and surface parking  Downtown Historic Center: Main Street to Grand Avenue  • Neighborhoods: Downtown, French Park, Lacy, Logan, Pacific Park  • Character: Historic downtown, civic buildings, smaller retail, denser housing, transitions into mixed residential eastward.  East City Gateway: Grand Avenue to Tustin Avenue  • Neighborhoods: Saddleback View, Zoo District, Lyon Street.  • Character: Motels, Santa Ana Zoo, mix of offices, high-density residential, freeway edge conditions.  This section summarizes existing pedestrian and bicycle conditions along First Street and its intersection crossings. The analysis uses a customized ranking system based on the Pedestrian Environmental Quality Index (PEQI), typical First/Last Mile evaluation criteria, and Level of Traffic Stress (LTS), with adjustments tailored to the study area. This approach emphasizes the pedestrian experience and provides a more qualitative measure of walkability and bikeability.    Walkability    Bicycle Conditions    • Land Use & Neighborhood Character  • Streetscape Design (roadway, traffic speeds, sidewalk, landscape, & lighting*)   • Pedestrian Access   • Connectivity & Safety  • Intersection Safety    * Lighting is not evaluated but should be studied further in coordination with the City’s Lighting Masterplan      • Facility Quality  • Intersection Safety   • Bicycle Network Connectivity  • Level of Traffic Stress (LTS)         City Council 19 – 68 2/17/2026 City of Santa Ana | First Street Multimodal Corridor Technical Memorandum 5 Level of Traffic Stress or LTS is a common measure of bicyclist comfort when traveling along a roadway, with LTS 1 being very comfortable and LTS 4 being highly challenging. Below are descriptions of each LTS category and Photo 6 shows examples of LTS 1 through 3 bicycle facilities : LTS 1: Strong separation from all but low -speed, low-volume traffic; simple crossings; suitable for children.   LTS 2: Physical separation from higher-speed or multilane traffic; easy crossings; comfortable for most adults, especially the “interested but concerned.”   LTS 3: Requires interaction with moderate-speed or multilane traffic, or in close proximity to higher-speed traffic; suitable for “enthused and confident” riders.   LTS 4: Requires interaction with or in close proximity to high-speed traffic; suitable only for “strong and fearless” riders.   Photo 6: Examples of LTS 1 (Left), LTS 2 (Right), LTS 3 (Bottom) Bicycle Facilities     City Council 19 – 69 2/17/2026 City of Santa Ana | First Street Multimodal Corridor Technical Memorandum 6 West Bristol Hub: Bristol Street to Main Street   This segment of First Street combines commercial land uses (small scale retail, shopping centers and surface parking lots) on the east and western edges with high-density housing and schools focused near the center, between Flower Street and Broadway. The street features a landscaped median, mature shade trees, and 7 to 8 feet sidewalks with tree wells, supporting comfortable pedestrian activity. Striped shoulders are present but are below standard in width for a bicycle lane and are not clearly marked. Several cyclists were observed using sidewalks during a site w alk to avoid high speed traffic. Two schools are located on the south side, Santa Ana High School and Martin R. Heninger Elementary School, which also include recreational facilities. Key crossings at Flower and Ross Streets serve students, highlighting the need for safe, well-connected pathways. North- south access would be greatly improved by adding signalized pedestrian crossings along the half-mile stretch between Bristol Street and Flower Street. Overall, the segment balances commercial, residential, and educational uses while offering potential for improved multimodal connectivity. Figure 3 shows the walkability and bikeability ratings for West Bristol Hub with an example photo of typical conditions. Figure 3. West Bristol Hub Pedestrian and Bicycle Existing Conditions     City Council 19 – 70 2/17/2026 City of Santa Ana | First Street Multimodal Corridor Technical Memorandum 7 Downtown Historic Center: Main Street to Grand Avenue This segment of First Street defines the southern edge of the City’s designated Downtown Core and Transit Center District. Main Street provides a key connection north to the Downtown Santa Ana Historic District and the new OC Streetcar, which links east to the Santa Ana Regional Transportation Center. The corridor is characterized by small-scale retail and shopping centers with surface parking lots. A landscaped median and mat ure shade trees contribute to a consistent streetscape, while sidewalks (7-8 feet wide with tree wells) support a comfortable pedestrian environment. The key exception is the section from Standard Avenue to Grand Avenue, where First Street narrows to four lanes . Figure 4 shows the walkability and bikeability ratings for the Downtown Historic Center with an example photo of the railroad undercrossing where there are four travel lanes . Challenges emerge in the quarter -mile stretch between Standard Avenue and Grand Avenue, where the Metrolink underpass creates a hostile walking environment with narrow 5-foot sidewalks, no shade, and no buffer from traffic. Bicycle facilities are minimal–aside from a short block between Main Street and Bush Street/Cypress Avenue, there are no designated bike lanes along this segment. The intersection of First Street and Downtown Plaza is a critical node for pedestrians – serving local residents, families, shoppers, bus riders, and students from the Edward B. Cole Sr. Academy. However, pedestrian safety improvements are needed. Additionally, between Downtown Plaza and Standard Avenue, the corridor has long block lengths without a north- south crossing (approximately half a mile) posing barriers to pedestrian connectivity. Figure 4. Downtown Historic Center: Main Street to Grand Avenue     City Council 19 – 71 2/17/2026 City of Santa Ana | First Street Multimodal Corridor Technical Memorandum 8 East City Gateway: Grand Avenue to Tustin Avenue  This eastern segment of First Street is a combination of commercial (motels, small scale retail, shopping centers, office buildings and surface parking lots) and mixed-use high- density housing. The corridor is separated by the I-5 freeway with the motels and Santa Ana Zoo to the West and a mixture of office buildings and high-density housing to the east. Overall, the lack of shade trees, and motel activity make the corridor unfriendly to walk and was rated fair to poor. Figure 5 shows the walkability and bikeability ratings for East City Gateway. Typical roadway width in this segment is upwards of 85 feet, including both landscaped and paved medians. Via Google Earth images , it appears that there were once shade trees in the median that seem to have been rem oved. Sidewalk widths range from 9 to 11’ with tree wells, but unless added with new development, the existing mature shade trees are sporadically dispersed throughout the corridor. While the zoo is a major destination in the area, First Street is not the primary access point and may not see increased traffic during hours of operation. Overall, the lack of shade trees, and motel activity make the corridor unfriendly to walk and was rated fair to poor. Figure 5. East City Gateway: Grand Avenue to Tustin Avenue     City Council 19 – 72 2/17/2026 City of Santa Ana | First Street Multimodal Corridor Technical Memorandum 9 Overall Corridor Conditions Pedestrian and bicycle conditions along First Street reveal significant safety and accessibility challenges, with gaps in infrastructure, inconsistent facilities, and environmental factors that collectively create barriers to safe and comfortable travel for all users. The following observations highlight opportunities for improvement in the redesign of First Street. Street Conditions • Continuous sidewalk access on both sides of the street. • High frequency of driveways with no clear ADA pathway. Bicycle Facilities • No existing bicycle facilities provided. • Posted speed limits (40-45 mph) have proven fatal for cyclist/vehicle collisions. • Predominance of sidewalk cycling impacts pedestrians. • No bike-protected intersections at key north/south wheel facility connections  (Bristol Street, Flower Street, Ross Street, Standard Avenue, Grand Avenue, Tustin Avenue). • Need connections to other bike routes, safe crossings under Metrolink & over freeway. Intersections & Controlled Crossings • Signalized crossings are infrequent (16 traffic signals along the 3-mile corridor) and often located far apart (approximately 1 mile west of Main Street and approximately 0.25 mile east of I-5). • Long distances between north-south signalized cross ings (typically 1/2-mile). • Major intersections with long crossing distances (100–140 feet). • Marked crosswalks are not high-visibility continental type. • Directional curb ramps (single ramp) are unsafe at intersections with large curb radii & high turning speed. • Dangerous jaywalking near activity hubs with vulnerable populations. • No protected bicycle intersections. Climate Impact • Extreme weather threatens people with disabilities. • Existing tree canopy is  inconsistent. • Limited access to shade & seating. • Surrounding hardscape, landscape & buildings affect pedestrian comfort.     City Council 19 – 73 2/17/2026 City of Santa Ana | First Street Multimodal Corridor Technical Memorandum 10 Transit OCTA Route 64 runs east-west along First Street, connecting Larwin Square in the City of Tustin to the Westminster Mall in the City of Huntington Beach. Route 64 has local and express stops along First Street. In addition, OCTA provides multiple north-south bus routes that intersect First Street and provide connectivity across Orange County (OCTA Routes 57, 150/151, 55, 53, 553, 59, 83, and 71). Key transfer points along the corridor include Bristol Street, Flower Street, Main Street, Grand Avenue, and Tustin Avenue. The Santa Ana Regional Transportation Center is less than half a mile north of the project corridor and serves regional transit services , including Amtrak, Metrolink, OCTA, and Greyhound. The station sits west of the railroad tracks at the intersection of Santa Ana Boulevard and Santiago Street. From First Street, several north-south roadways —such as Main Street—provide direct access to Santa Ana Boulevard. Riders can reach the station by taking OCTA Route 64 westbound and transferring to Route 59 northbound at Tustin Avenue. Ridership Daily boarding information for Route 64 was provided by OCTA for October 2024, April 2025, and May 2025. Ridership was analyzed for each stop along the project corridor in the eastbound and westbound direction (see Table 1). The highest average boarding across the three time periods occurs at Bristol Street eastbound and Main Street westbound. The busiest stops are on the west side from Bristol Street to Downtown Plaza and at Grand Avenue. Ridership is lower at local stops between Downtown Plaza and Standard Avenue and at Cabrillo Park Drive and Golden Circle Drive. Bus Stop Amenities A field check was completed to document the existing amenities at local and express bus stops between Bristol Street and Tustin Avenue. While the amenities at each stop varied, all stops included seating and signage. The provision of bus shelters aligns the busiest stops and is constructed and maintained by the City. Photo 1 shows the bus stop near Bristol Street. All stops lack dedicated shelter lighting, wayfinding signage, and real-time arrival displays. Each bus stop has basic route information from OCTA. Most bus stops have a concrete bus pad for boarding, and buses usually stop in the outside travel lane. The only exception is the westbound stop on Flower Street, which includes a dedicated bus turnout, shown in Photo 2. Individuals experiencing homelessness were observed occupying seats at some locations, leaving other riders to stand.     City Council 19 – 74 2/17/2026 City of Santa Ana | First Street Multimodal Corridor Technical Memorandum 11 Table 1.

The road has a capacity of 56,300 vehicles per day at LOS E. The threshold for acceptable level of service (LOS D) is 50,600 vehicles per day. Within the study area there are 16 signalized intersections and several unsignalized intersections . The posted speed limit is 40 miles per hour (mph) despite the presence of several school and senior facilities within the study area. To assess the existing traffic conditions along the corridor, peak hour intersection volumes (vehicles, pedestrians and bicycles) and daily volumes (speed, volume and classification) were collected at locations along the corridor during a typical weekday in March 2025. Daily Volume Analysis Daily traffic volumes were collected at eight spot locations along the corridor. Table 2 below summarizes the volume and the existing level of service based on the City’s level of service thresholds for roadway segments . Table 2.

To understand the peaking characteristics along the corridor, the daily volumes at the locations with highest volume (Parton Street to Ross Street) and lowest volume (Golden Circle Drive to Tustin Avenue) were evaluated on an hourly basis . Figure 6 illustrates the volumes over a 24-hour period, which shows at both the highest and lowest volume locations there are similar peaking characteristics , which occur in the AM (7:00 to 9:00AM) and in the PM (3:30 – 5:30PM).     City Council 19 – 77 2/17/2026 City of Santa Ana | First Street Multimodal Corridor Technical Memorandum 14 Figure 6. Distribution of Volume Across a 24-Hour Period Traffic Speeds The posted speed limit along First Street is primarily 40mph in each direction. Table 3 shows the 85th percentile or prevailing speed along the corridor. As shown, the 85th percentile is generally within 5 mph of the posted speed limit. Table 3. 85th Percentile Speeds by Study Segment Segment 85th Percentile Speed (miles per hour) Vehicles Per Day Traveling Over 40 mph (% of ADT) EB WB Total Baker Street to Shelton Street 41 40 40 5,899 (15%) Parton Street to Ross Street 41 41 41 7,158 (18%) West of Spurgeon Street 37 35 36 2,087 (6%) East of Garfield Street 42 44 43 8,687 (26%) Standard Avenue to Grand Avenue 42 40 41 6,017 (18%) West of Wright Street 43 42 43 8,160 (24%) West of Cabrillo Park Drive 40 38 39 2,754 (11%) Golden Circle Drive to Tustin Avenue 42 40 41 3,525 (18%) While the 85th percentile speeds are within a reasonable range of the posted speed limit, many vehicles were recorded traveling at or above the posted 40 mph speed limit. These excessive speeds tend to occur outside of the peak hours when the volume on the roadway is well below capacity. The lack of traffic and friction that is caused by the proximity of vehicles close to one another results in drivers traveling faster than the posted speed limit – even when they are not aware they are doing so. 0 500 1000 1500 2000 2500 3000 3500 0:001:002:003:004:005:006:007:008:009:0010:0011:0012:0013:0014:0015:0016:0017:0018:0019:0020:0021:0022:0023:00Vehicles Per Hour Parton Street to Ross Street Golden Circle Drive to Tustin Avenue     City Council 19 – 78 2/17/2026 City of Santa Ana | First Street Multimodal Corridor Technical Memorandum 15 The section east of Garfield (between Garfield Street and Standard Avenue) experienced the highest percentage of daily traffic traveling at a speed greater than 40mph at 8,687 vehicles per day or 26% of the daily traffic on the segment. Why is this important ? Figure 7 illustrates the probability of fatality in a pedestrian-vehicle crash based on vehicle speeds . The curves represent different age ranges . According to data collected by the Automobile Club of A merica (AAA) and illustrated by ProPublica in an interactive graph, a 70-year-old person has a 70% chance of being killed by a vehicle traveling at 40mph. While young adults have a higher chance of surviving a crash at 40mph, the probability of fatality increases exponentially as speeds increase with the chance of any pedestrian surviving being struck by a vehicle moving at 60mph of less than 10%. Identifying solutions to reduce the traffic speeds of these high-speed vehicles will significantly improve safety and reduce both severe injury crashes and fatalities . Figure 7. Fatality Rates as a Function of Traffic Speed Source: “Impact Speed and a Pedestrian’s Risk of Severe Injury or Death”, Brian Tefft (1998) – AAA Foundation for Traffic Safety.     City Council 19 – 79 2/17/2026 City of Santa Ana | First Street Multimodal Corridor Technical Memorandum 16 Intersection Analysis Daily traffic volume and speed are two metrics by which to analyze the existing traffic along the corridor and provide the travel patterns throughout the day. Intersections and travel time are two other key metrics that focus on the traffic during the peak four hours of the day – 7:00 to 9:00AM and 4:00 to 6:00PM. Two models were used to understand the existing traffic conditions along the corridor. The City recently updated their Synchro model to update the signal timing along First Street. This model was used to evaluate the intersection LOS using the Highway Capacity Manual methodology for urban signalized intersections. This method evaluates the intersection operating conditions in isolation using the signal timing and volumes collected for the corridor.

The greatest level of congestion is reported from Grand Avenue to Zoo Lane approaching the I-5 southbound freeway ramps . The second model used to assess the operating conditions along the corridor is a microsimulation model VISSIM. This tool simulates vehicle travel along the corridor based on driver behavior assumptions . Where as Synchro looks at the volume at each intersection,     City Council 19 – 80 2/17/2026 City of Santa Ana | First Street Multimodal Corridor Technical Memorandum 17 VISSIM looks at each vehicle as is travels along the network. This allows for more accurate operational analysis and travel time modeling by travel model (passenger vehicle versus bus for example). In order to accurately assess traffic conditions using VISSIM, multiple model runs are conducted, and the results are averaged. The model is then compared to existing conditions and calibrated until the delay and travel time accurately reflects the analyzed and observed conditions . Table 5 reports the intersection delay using VISSIM for each of the study intersections . Table 5.

This behavior significantly contributes to safety concerns, particularly for vulnerable road users such as pedestrians and bicyclists. Over the past eight years, approximately 25% of all reported collisions were attributed to unsafe speed as a primary contributing factor. These speed-related crashes tend to be more severe, often resulting in serious injuries or fatalities. The combination of high travel speeds with limited physical separation between vehicles and pedestrians, and long crossing distances at intersections, creates a hazardous environment that demands targeted traffic calming and safety interventions. Existing available crash data was used to identify potential safety concerns or historic trends. Crash data for the most recent 8-year period (2017-2024) was obtained from the California Statewide Integrated Traffic Records System (SWITRS) crash database then ‘scrubbed’ to address inconsistencies in how the data was logged. Table 7 summarizes the results of the crash analysis including the severity, crash type and crash factor. Of the 479 crashes reported over the eight-year period, 28 resulted in a fatality or severe injury. The majority of the crashes report were either broadside or rear end. Common causes of broadside crashes include: • Running red lights or stop signs. • Failure to yield right of way, particularly at uncontrolled or side street-controlled intersections. • Distracted driving • Speeding and/or aggressive driving Common causes of rear end collisions include: • Distracted driving • Tailgating or aggressive driving • Speeding • Heavy traffic Most crashes reported were a result of unsafe speed or right of way violations, which align with the crash types. Evaluating traffic patterns at the side street stop-controlled intersections, narrowing the roadway to reduce crossing and turning distance, physical improvements to reduce speeds and enforcement are potential measures to offset the current crash trends and patterns along First Street.     City Council 19 – 83 2/17/2026 City of Santa Ana | First Street Multimodal Corridor Technical Memorandum 20 Table 7. Crash Data Summary The most vulnerable users along First Street are those on foot, on bike, rolling or strolling along the sidewalks and crossing across the corridor. Of the 479 traffic collisions recorded along First Street, 12% involved pedestrians (56 collisions) and 11% involved bicycles (52 collisions), summarized in Figure 8. According to the Federal Highway Administration, the average crash rate for pedestrians and bicycles along similar corridors is approximately 4 to 5%, indicating that the frequency of pedestrian and bicycle crashes is higher than a typical six-lane corridor. Figure 8. Pedestrian and Bicycle Involved Reported Crashes     City Council 19 – 84 2/17/2026 City of Santa Ana | First Street Multimodal Corridor Technical Memorandum 21 General Traffic Conditions Based on the existing conditions analysis, the following general conditions exist along First Street: • Daily traffic volumes along most of the corridor fall below the LOS D threshold for a six-lane arterial. • Eastbound volumes are higher than westbound volumes on all segments for both peak periods. • All study intersections operate at LOS D or better. • The highest congestion occurs eastbound between Grand Avene and Zoo Lane (approaching the I-5 freeway southbound ramp) • Speeds are at or near the posted speed limit during the peak hour . Outside of the peak hour , speeds tend to increase with a greater occurrence of speeds 10 mph or more above the posted speed limit. • Crash data indicates that speed and right-of-way issues along the corridor account for approximately half of the crashes reported over an eight-year period. Rear-end crashes and broadside crashes are the most common types of crashes, which align with the causes identified. • Pedestrian and bicycle involved crashes make up approximately 23% of all crashes reported indicating a higher than average crash rate for the most vulnerable users. Equity Assessment This section summarizes key equity findings from the demographics, transportation, and land use analyses within the study area and identify disparities in access and/or barriers to quality of life parity experienced by marginalized communities, compared to more resourced, abled, and affluent neighbors and communities. Key data sources for this analysis include Southern California Association of Governments (SCAG) and the United States Census Bureau. Marginalized Groups and Vulnerable Road Users Marginalized groups and vulnerable road users are among those at risk of being most adversely impacted by changes to infrastructure and operations of a public right-of-way. This risk is due to these populations being less likely to have additional mobility options, less likely to be included in public decision-making, and more likely to have other existing barriers and challenges to accessing resources or navigating changes to the local environment. The Equity Study prepared determined that the study area has a proportionately higher poverty rate than the City and Orange County as a whole, and especially high rates of seniors living in poverty, especially on the northwest side of the corridor (refer to Figure 9). This area of the study also overlaps with proportionally higher populations of residents that speak an Asian/Pacific Island language (likely Vietnamese) and English “less than well.” The corridor study area also has proportionally higher populations of residents that speak Spanish as well as English “less than well” than other parts of the City and Orange County as a whole, primarily on the south side of the First Street corridor (refer to Figure 10). Over 40% of the City’s residents identify as immigrants, and the study area reflects this trend. Notably, more than half of residents in Census block groups north of First Street identify as immigrants. These demographics demonstrate significant populations that are likely to have fewer mobility options and fewer opportunities to be civically engaged (in transportation investment decisions, for example) in a welcoming language or format compared to other residents in the City.     City Council 19 – 85 2/17/2026 City of Santa Ana | First Street Multimodal Corridor Technical Memorandum 22 Figure 9. Poverty Rates within First Street Equity Study Area Figure 10. Map of Hispanic/Latinx Residents that Speak English Less than “Well”     City Council 19 – 86 2/17/2026 City of Santa Ana | First Street Multimodal Corridor Technical Memorandum 23 The City has a high proportion of renters, compared to Orange County, and the study area has an even higher proportion, over half of whom are cost-burdened by their housing costs (refer to Figure 11). This demonstrates a majority of study area residents that live in housing insecurity due to a high proportion of their income devoted to housing, which increases risk of defaulting on rent payments and potential eviction. Figure 11. Renter Households within First Street Equity Study Area The Origin-Destination Analysis conducted for the two-mile area around the corridor shows that the highest origin-destination pairs for people living within a half mile of the corridor also had notably high proportions of people walking, ranging from 24-38% of all travel modes. Further, trips from resident originating near the cluster of seniors living in poverty on the north side of the corridor and ending in the downtown civic center area had a relatively high proportion of transit trips (5%), although these areas are less than a half mile from each other. These travel patterns show that there are very high percentages of people walking to destinations near and on the corridor, as well as higher rates of people taking transit near senior housing. This demonstrates a vulnerable road user presence in and around the corridor that may benefit greatly from safe, accessible, and comfortable mobility options. Considerations for Community Engagement and Multimodal Concept Development These demographics, land uses, and road user findings overall provide important context for the advancement of the First Street Multimodal Boulevard Study. The prevalence of marginalized demographics and vulnerable road users inform project approaches to community engagement, such as targeted outreach to include community members that are older and/or have limited safe and accessible mobility options, speak languages other than English, are more likely to experience housing insecurity, and are more likely to walk or take transit. Members of these key study demographics are typically not centered in traditional outreach methods but are likely to be disproportionately impacted by not having their needs considered in street design and operations, as they are likely to have fewer resources and alternatives to adapt to environmental changes. Figure 12 illustrates the relationship between residents over Age 65 and the poverty rate within the area.     City Council 19 – 87 2/17/2026 City of Santa Ana | First Street Multimodal Corridor Technical Memorandum 24 Figure 12. Residents Over Age 65 and Poverty Rate within Equity Study Area Considerations for multimodal concept development include recognizing specific access needs for people walking/rolling, education and intuitive design for new street configurations, and focusing improvements on traffic safety and reduction of conflicts between different travel modes, especially vehicles and pedestrians. Examples of these considerations may include any placement of a new bi-directional bicycle facility or shared-use path on the southern side of the corridor, where there is less concentration of senior housing developments, or identifying controlled mid-block crossing locations that can better facilitate vulnerable road users access to transit. Another consideration is for providing longer crossing times for slower moving members of the community including the elderly, disabled and young children. Built Environment and Exposure to Harm This section summarizes key points of findings from this memorandum that focus on the existing conditions, built environment, and exposure to harm, specifically for marginalized and vulnerable populations. The corridor study area has a presence of community assets (grocery stores/farmers market, community centers, hospitals, libraries) that serve and are open to the public, but little green or open space. This showed that while there may be important resources, such as access to fresh food and health services, there may be inconsistent access to these resources for community members in the study area based on insurance coverage and food insecurity rates, as well as limited existing opportunities for physical activity. Most of the formal employment opportunities in the study area are within the civic or health and manufacturing sectors (refer to Figure 13). Additionally, preliminary findings show that one in three workers are in a blue-collar sector, with over one in four in the service sector. This may demonstrate a relatively steady commute demand throughout a 24-hour period that includes traditional 9 AM to 5 PM hours, as well as late night or early morning shifts. As described above, a robust informal economy of street vendors has been observed along the corridor. In the observational survey, conducted over a period of four days, the consultant team observed 30 vendors, slightly more than half serving food. In line with SB 946 and the City’s and County’s regulatory framework and given the placement of many street vendors along the     City Council 19 – 88 2/17/2026 City of Santa Ana | First Street Multimodal Corridor Technical Memorandum 25 sidewalk infrastructure, the study will assess sidewalk design and dimension needs that balance the use of space by permitted vendors and people walking and rolling. The study area shows some cleanup sites along and near the corridor (refer to Figure 14), as well as higher Disadvantaged Communities rankings, which measure environmental pollution exposure and social vulnerability, around the east side of the corridor, just west of the I-5 freeway and near several cleanup sites. Given preliminary level of service assessment findings of vehicle congestion around this part of the corridor, this may reflect the value of shifting travel modes away from single occupancy driving to reduce vehicle miles traveled and emissions.

Identified Hazardous and Clean Up Site Source: Department of Toxic Substances Control (2025)     City Council 19 – 89 2/17/2026 City of Santa Ana | First Street Multimodal Corridor Technical Memorandum 26 Community Engagement Community engagement is a key component of identifying barriers to mobility along First Street. Beginning in June 2025 and wrapping up in December 2025, the outreach strategy reached over 900 participants , summarized in Figure 15. In order to achieve balanced input throughout this process, a multi-tiered outreach strategy was conducted, which included: • Broad community outreach through workshops, pop up events and targeted small group meetings. • Stakeholder engagement with both city and government officials as well as active organizations in the community • Community working group meetings with community- based organizations who assisted with driving participation at the community events and bringing awareness to the project. • Presentations to Neighborhood Associations along the corridor. Information at key points in the project was disseminated through workshops and then shared with the community through on-line surveys, pop up events, videos, and presentations at stakeholder, community working group and neighborhood association meetings . The timeline for sharing information about the project is summarized in Figure 16. In this section, the results of Workshop 1 are summarized. Input from the community from Workshop 2 and Workshop 3 are summarized in the Options and Concepts sections of this technical memorandum as the results align with preference surveys and input collected related during those phases of the project.

Community Engagement Timeline Workshop 1: Barriers to Mobility The first set of workshops and outreac h events provided an opportunity to introduce the First Street Multimodal Boulevard Study and gather community input on making First Street a healthier and safer experience for all residents who utilize the corridor . The goals of the workshops were to enc ourage participants to connect with the Project Team, share experiences traveling along First Street, suggest improvements to access and travel options, and learn more about the project. To provide multiple opportunities to learn about the project and provide feedback, the Project Team hosted one in-person workshop (Tuesday, August 26, 2025), one virtual workshop (Wednesday, August 27, 2025), conducted an on-line survey, and attended multiple in- person pop-up events in the community. A total of 40 people attended the two workshops and over 60 people were engaged during the Chicano Heritage Festival. Photos 3 through 5 on the following pages illustrate activities at both the pop-up event and at the in-person workshop. Feedback received during the in-person and pop-up events regarding improvements the public would like to see along First Street indicated protected, off street bicycle facilities ; wider sidewalks and mid-block crossings for pedestrians ; improved transit stops with real- time bus inform ation; and shade with places to sit along the corridor were amongst the top priorities for those who participated in the preference survey. Figures 17 to 19 summarize the results of the survey. For the virtual meeting and through the on-line poll, participants were asked to share information about their travel experience and their travel barriers . Results of the on-line surveys are summarized below in Figure 20.     City Council 19 – 91 2/17/2026 City of Santa Ana | First Street Multimodal Corridor Technical Memorandum 28 Photo 33: Chicano Heritage Festival Booth Photo 44: Preference Survey Boards from Workshop and Pop-Up Events     City Council 19 – 92 2/17/2026 City of Santa Ana | First Street Multimodal Corridor Technical Memorandum 29 Photo 55: Workshop 1 Activities     City Council 19 – 93 2/17/2026 City of Santa Ana | First Street Multimodal Corridor Technical Memorandum 30 Figure 17.

A series of stations were set up to help participants navigate the eight options being presented (refer to Photo 7). The stations included “Existing Conditions”, “Design Options”, “Aerial Maps”, “Curb Space and Bus Stops”, and “Railroad Tracks Configuration” as well as a welcome table and a family table. Workshop participants were encouraged to provide feedback on potential design options for the corridor, connect with the Project Team, suggest improvements to access and travel options, and learn more about the next stages of the project. A total of 69 attendees signed in at the workshop over the course of the two days and 30 comment cards were collected. Participants were encouraged to participate in a preference activity where they placed pom-pom balls in containers that represent the options that they liked. While three pom-pom balls were provided to each participant, additional balls were provided if requested. The preference activity (pom-pom balls) revealed a strong preference for bus lanes. Figures 21 and 22 below break down the results of the preference survey by lane configuration and by pedestrian and bicycle zone configuration. Figure 21.

Address the issue before adding bicycle facilities • Keep the six lanes – traffic piles up • If there is a bus lane, make sure it is shared with traffic • Consider a center running bus lane and move the bicycles to Chestnut or parallel streets • Eastbound from Standard (or DMV) to Zoo Lane traffic backs up especially in the morning • Opposed to removing lanes, adding bicycle lanes or crosswalks . Keep traffic moving • Don’t start construction until Bristol Street is complete Photo 6: Participants Engaging in Interactive Stations and Preference Survey     City Council 19 – 106 2/17/2026 City of Santa Ana | First Street Multimodal Corridor Technical Memorandum 43 Concept Development Based on feedback from the community, technical analysis and field assessments, three Concepts were developed for the c orridor. Conceptual layouts in plan view, illustrative renderings and cross sections were developed to illustrate the components of the design concepts that were then shared with the public during W orkshop 3. Technical analysis , including traffic modeling and pedestrian / bicycle analysis , was conducted to assess the benefits of each alternative compared to the existing conditions. In response to the existing conditions assessment and concerns about safety and pedestrian access, the following features were integrated into all the concepts presented: • New Mid-Block Crossings – These four crossings are proposed at Shelton Street, Booth Street, west of Wright Street and between Golden Circle Drive and Tustin Avenue. Each location would be equipped with a HAWK signal, high visibility markings and signage and a paved area in the median as a refuge island, as shown in Figure 23. With these crossings, the average distance between controlled crossings is approximately 0.25 miles and a controlled crossing is located at or near an existing bus stop. • Tighter Curb Radius – Most existing curb radii are 35’ with some larger such as at the I-5 southbound ramps . For all City intersections, the curb radius is tightened to 25’, which slows the turning speed of vehicles and improves safety for pedestrians. • High Visibility Crosswalks – At all signalized intersections and on STOP controlled side streets , high visibility bicycle crossing and crosswalks are recommended. Continental style with high retro reflectivity is recommended for maximum visibility at night. Crosswalks near school zones should be evaluated for yellow markings and signage. Figure 23. New Controlled Crossing at Shelton Street     City Council 19 – 107 2/17/2026 City of Santa Ana | First Street Multimodal Corridor Technical Memorandum 44 • Improved Street lighting – This includes evaluating the corridor to ensure minimum lighting requirements are met and adding pedestrian scale lighting within the pedestrian and bicycle zone. • Transit Signal Priority – Adding technology to the buses and to the traffic signal to help bus on-time performance is critical to improving access to transit. The City will work with OCTA to identify the appropriate technology and implementation strategies. • Improved Landscape and Streetscape for the Corridor – Street trees, low level landscape, drainage swales and other treatments will be integrated to help reduce the heat envelope along the corridor and to capture urban run-off. Additional places to rest and improved bus stops are also key to the overall corridor design. Creating a uniform plant palette and furniture design will create a cohesive feel and character along the corridor . Potential plant options, consistent with the City’s design guidelines , are presented in Figure 24.     City Council 19 – 108 2/17/2026 City of Santa Ana | First Street Multimodal Corridor Technical Memorandum 45 Figure 24. Potential Street Tree Options for First Street     City Council 19 – 109 2/17/2026 City of Santa Ana | First Street Multimodal Corridor Technical Memorandum 46 West Side and East Side Concepts Due to planned projects along First Street, the corridor was divided into a west side and an east side when developing concepts . The west side extends from Bristol Street to Zoo Lane, which aligns with the Caltrans right-of-way. The east side extends from Zoo Lane over the I- 5 freeway to Tustin Avenue. Caltrans has developed concept plans for First Street as part of the Freeway Ramp Active Mobility Enhancement Study (FRAMES ), illustrated in Figure 25. Concepts illustrated in this technical memorandum reflect the recommendations in that report. However, the City is currently working with Caltrans to identify alternative solutions that align with the concepts for the west side of the corridor. Modifications to this section may be proposed based on the ongoing coordination with Caltrans and the locally preferred alternative for this project. Figure 25. Recommendations in Caltrans FRAMES Source: Caltrans , February 2024. Freeway Ramp Active Mobility Enhancement Study (FRAMES). Based on traffic volumes for the existing and future conditions east of I-5, the concept developed for the east side of the corridor assumes the four-lane condition. Narrowing the road to widen the sidewalks builds upon the Public Realm Plan for this area by extending the curb to construct 17’ to 20’ wide pedestrian zones . This allows additional improvements within the pedestrian and bicycle zones as described later in this section and is consistent with the City’s Metro East Mixed-Use Overlay Zone. A complete set of conc eptual layouts for the three West Side and the one East Side concept is provided as an attachment to this technical memorandum.     City Council 19 – 110 2/17/2026 City of Santa Ana | First Street Multimodal Corridor Technical Memorandum 47 West Side Design Concepts Multi -Use Path Concept This concept includes a multi-use path on the south side of First Street. This space is shared by pedestrians and bicyclists and is approximately 14’ wide. This area would narrow to 10’ near trees, light posts, utilities and bus stops. Distinct colors or textures on the pavement could be used to help delineate areas for pedestrians and bicycles within this space; however, there would be no physical separation between those who are walking or rolling and those on a bicycle. On the north side of the street, a sidewalk would be provided for pedestrians . As such, the bicyclists would be permitted only on the south side of the street. Illustrations of this concept are provided in Figure 26. This concept provides six travel lanes and left turn pockets at intersections, consistent with existing conditions . To provide additional space on the south side of the street for the multi- use trail, existing lane widths are narrowed to 11’ and the center median is narrowed to 12’. Figure 26. Illustrations of the Multi-Use Path Concept .     City Council 19 – 111 2/17/2026 City of Santa Ana | First Street Multimodal Corridor Technical Memorandum 48 Enhanced Pedestrian and Bicycle Zone Concept This concept includes directional Class IV bikeways on each side of First Street (north and south side) as well as a dedicated sidewalk. With 17’ feet within the pedestrian zone, there is sufficient space to construct a physical barrier such as a plantable strip between the bikeway and the sidewalk and provide trees along the curbline. Distinct color or texture on the pavement could also be used to help delineate areas for pedestrians and bicycles . At 66’ feet wide curb to curb, this concept is the narrowest of the three concepts developed. Illustrations of this concept are provided in Figure 27. This concept provides five travel lanes and left turn pockets at intersections . As shown in the existing conditions section of this technical memorandum, the traffic volume in the eastbound direction is higher than in the westbound direction in each peak hour as well as over a 24-hour period. Therefore, this option removes one travel lane in the westbound direction to provide the space within the pedestrian zone. Lane widths in this option are 10 to 11’ wide and the median is 12’ wide. Figure 27. Illustrations of the Enhanced Pedestrian and Bicycle Concept     City Council 19 – 112 2/17/2026 City of Santa Ana | First Street Multimodal Corridor Technical Memorandum 49 Bus Lanes and Bikeway Concept This concept includes directional Class IV bikeways on each side of Firs t Street (north and south side) as well as a dedicated sidewalk. With 12’ feet within the pedestrian zone, a 6’ bikeway and a 6’ sidewalk can be delineated. Bicycles would travel closest to the roadway and would need to weave around bus stops, trees or other landscape areas and utilities such as streetlight poles . Where these obstructions occur in the bikeway, the bicycles would merge with the pedestrians in a shared 10’ to 13’ space. This may create a sort of meandering bikeway visually but will require careful navigation through these shared areas . Distinct color or textures on the pavement should be used to help delineate areas for pedestrians and bicycles. Figure 28 illustrates the features of the Bus Lane and Bikeway Concept. This concept provides four travel lanes , two bus only lanes and left turn pockets at intersections . As discussed in the existing conditions section of this report, Route 64 is one of the highest traveled routes in Orange County and experiences over 2,900 boardings and alighting eac h day within the study area. Figure 28. Bus Lane and Bikeway Concept     City Council 19 – 113 2/17/2026 City of Santa Ana | First Street Multimodal Corridor Technical Memorandum 50 Providing a bus lane provides benefits to vehicular traffic and buses. Vehicles may enter the bus lane to make a right turn at intersections . This moves the decelerating vehicles into the bus lane and reduces the potential for rear end crashes . With buses in a dedicated lane, there would be no queuing of vehicles behind buses at bus stops . Vehicles maneuvering around stopped buses is also a potential cause of rear-end and sideswipe cras hes that would be reduced with this option. Bus on-time performance and delay would also improve. Coupled with bus priority, travel time for buses along the corridor are forecast to improve significantly. This City has discussed with OCTA options to increase frequency of bus service along the route if dedicated. Additional discussion and analysis are needed to determine if expanded or more frequent service is possible. East Side Design Concepts From Cabrillo Park Drive to Tustin Avenue, the City will be c onstructing new medians and buffered bicycle lanes . This project will also reduce First Street from six lanes to four lanes . While this will improve the bicycle amenities on this portion of the corridor compared to existing conditions, feedback during community outreach meetings suggests that bicyclists would prefer to be at sidewalk level as opposed to street level. Figure 29 provides the cross section and the pedestrian and bicycle zone illustrations. Figure 29. East Side Illustrations     City Council 19 – 114 2/17/2026 City of Santa Ana | First Street Multimodal Corridor Technical Memorandum 51 Therefore, a four-lane concept was developed that provides for 17 to 20’ pedestrian and bicycle zones, four travel lanes and a raised median. With these improvements, the median constructed by the City would remain in place the curbs on the north and south sides of the street would be moved to the edge of the buffered bicycle lanes thereby bringing the bicycles to sidewalk level. This would allow for directional bikeways on each side of the street, physically separated from the sidewalk by a low planting strip or other edge treatment. Traffic Analysis The VISSIM microsimulation model was used to forecast the intersection delay and travel time along the corridor for each of the three design concepts on the west side of the corridor in the AM and in the PM peak period. Two study years were evaluated – Project Opening Year (2028) and Project Design Year (2048). Future year volumes were determined by applying a growth rate to existing conditions traffic volumes . The growth rate of 0.6% per year was determined using the OC TA OCTAM model. Tables 9 and 10 summarize the results of the level of service from Bristol Street to the I-5 SB Freeway Ramps in the AM and PM Peak Period for the No Build (maintain existing roadway lanes, intersection configuration and signal timing) and for each of the three concepts presented (Multi-Use Path Concept, Enhanced Pedestrian and Bicycle Concept and Bus Lane/Bikeway Concept) for the west side of the corridor for the Opening Year and Design Year. Turn pocket lengths, signal timing and intersection configurations in addition to the modification to the number of lanes were modified in the VISSIM network for each of the concepts presented. Since only one concept was developed for the east side (I-5 SB Ramps to Tustin Avenue), Tables 11 and 12 summarize the intersection LOS for the Opening Year and Design Year . The City has approved a new traffic signal at the intersection of First Street and Lacy Street. Currently this intersection is side-street stop controlled. As the signal is fully funded and currently in the final design stage, this new traffic signal has been added to all study scenarios , including the No Build condition. West Side Opening Year Conditions As shown in the tables on the following page, most intersections operate at LOS D or better under all study scenarios by year 2028 in the AM Peak Period. The exceptions to this are the intersections at Bristol Street and Flower Street under the Bus Lane / Bike Lane option. It should be noted that under the No Build condition, Lyon Street is forecast to operate at LOS F. Signal timing and geometric improvements in the three Options address queuing issues at Lyon Street that improve the delays and queues . In the PM Peak, most intersections continue to operate at acceptable LOS D or better . However, the intersections at Bristol Street, Flower Street, Downtown Plaza, Grand Avenue and Lyon Street are all forecast to operate at LOS E or F under for at least one concept in either the AM or the PM per period. Lyon Street experiences the greatest increase in delays . This is largely due to the reduction in right turn lanes onto the I-5 freeway southbound from one shared right-through and one dedicated right turn lane to a single right turn lane. Additional analysis is being conducted at all these intersections to determine geometric modifications and signal timing improvements to determine if delay can be improved to an acceptable range.     City Council 19 – 115 2/17/2026 City of Santa Ana | First Street Multimodal Corridor Technical Memorandum 52 West Side Design Year For all study scenarios, the future year volumes are based on an average growth rate of 0.6% per year applied to the existing ground count traffic volumes , which suggest no changes in traffic patterns over the next 22 years . The results of the Design Year analysis indicate that with the reduction in lanes to either five lanes or six lanes , there will be a significant increase in delays if traffic patterns remain unchanged. The City is currently working with OCTA to run the OCTAM model for the five lane and the four-lane with bus lane conditions to determine if the lane reduction would res ult in a redistribution of traffic to other routes . As this is currently a grid network and there are several parallel or alternative routes in the area, this model will help provide more accurate long-term travel patterns . Results of the Enhanced Pedestrian and Bicycle Concept and Bus Lane/Bike Lane Concept will be re- evaluated once the model runs are completed. East Side Analysis Operational analysis for the east side evaluated the baseline six-lane option and the proposed four-lane option. The results of the analysis show that all intersections east of I-5 are forecast to operate at LOS D or better with the four lanes under both Opening Year and Design Year Conditions. Travel Time Analysis Travel time calculations were conducted for the west side (Bristol Street to Zoo Lane) and the east side (Zoo Lane to Tustin Avenue) for the Opening Year and Horizon Year for all study scenarios. Travel times were calculated for both buses and passenger vehicles in order to understand the benefits and the impacts to each mode. Tables 13 and 14 summarize the Opening Year and Design Year travel times for the corridor for automobiles and Tables 15 and 16 report the same data for buses.     City Council 19 – 116 2/17/2026 City of Santa Ana | First Street Multimodal Corridor Technical Memorandum 53 Table 9.

The comparison is based on how each concept improves conditions by mode compared to the existing conditions . Table 17 below summarizes the results of this exercise. Table 17. Comparison of Three Design Concepts     City Council 19 – 122 2/17/2026 City of Santa Ana | First Street Multimodal Corridor Technical Memorandum 59 Workshop 3 Workshop 3 was conducted on December 9 and 11, 2025 at the Roosevelt Walker Community Center. Over the course of the two days, 82 attendees signed in representing a broad range of representatives from the community including youth. Participants were encouraged to visit stations around the room that provided information on the three west side concepts, the east side concept and landscaping and then completed a feedback form (refer to Photo 8). The form asked them to share what elements of the concepts presented would improve their travel along the corridor. Responses to each concept are summarized on the following pages. General Comments Aside from the specific comments on each concept presented and the landscape design, the following comments were received either in the “O ther Notes” section of the comment form, on comment cards or on the available note pads. • Community feedback strongly emphasizes pedestrian and bicyclist safety, calling for raised crosswalks, protected intersections, complete sidewalks, and fully separated bike paths . • Lighting, reflective elements, and tree shade are requested to improve usability and safety, especially for students and daily walkers . • Residents express concern about maintaining vehicle travel lanes to avoid worsening traffic congestion while recommending design features like narrower lanes and speed controls to ease traffic . • There is also strong support for underground utilities, clear sidewalks, and separated bus lanes . • The community is interested in a design that balances traffic with safety, accessibility, and environmental enhancements. • Appreciation expressed for the workshop and answers provided.

Pedestrian Improvements • Support for the concept specific to separating pedestrian walkways for safety and comfort. • Requests for all-way pedestrian crossings, incorporation of cross paths at all intersections, and curb bulb-outs to shorten crossing distances and protect pedestrians. • Concerns for physical pedestrian obstruction near Caltrans parking lot. Safety improvements • Support for this design, citing it is the safest for all modes of transportation due to separation, can reduce accidents, and narrows roadway widths leading to slower traffic speeds. • Improved safety outcomes thr ough buffers, planters, and curb extensions. Roadway/Driver Improvements • Request to narrow the roadway to slow traffic speeds, reallocate space from wide lanes or medians to protect bike and pedestrian zones. • Concern for traffic impacts with new bike lane. Streetscape and Landscape Participants also provided input on potential street trees for the corridor . The results of the input are summarized below: • Use California native plants and trees, particularly within bioswales. • Discouraged the use of Mediterranean climate plants and expressed frustration with overplanted species, such as crepe myrtle, citing poor appearance and overuse in the area. • Clear support for prioritizing native vegetation in the project’s landscape design.     City Council 19 – 127 2/17/2026 City of Santa Ana | First Street Multimodal Corridor Technical Memorandum 64 Next Steps With the development of the three concepts, the next step in the project is to select a locally preferred alternative. In order to select that option, the following steps will be completed: • Complete the OCTAM model and assess the redistribution of traffic related to potential lane reductions and update the levels of service. • Conduct meetings with the Stakeholder Group and the Community Working Group to receive additional feedback on the three Concepts. • Present and receive direction from City Council. Once a locally preferred alternative is selected, the project team will move forward with the final engineering, feasibility study and environmental document for the corridor. Due to project funding, this phase of the project will need to be completed by December 2026. The City is currently seeking funding to finalize the engineering, prepare bid documents and construct the project; however, additional funding may be needed for construction depending upon the concept selected.     City Council 19 – 128 2/17/2026 FIRST STREET MULTIMODAL BOULEVARD STUDY Community Feedback Summar y From August through December 2025 , a robust outreach effort was conducted engaging more than 1,100 people at in-person events, 10,000 interactions through on-line platforms, presentations to 11 neighborhood organizations, and coordination with 35 community partners to gather meaningful input.

What we heard: • Need for safer walking and biking access • Several locations missing crosswalks • Mixed feedback on adding bike lanes • Interest in improved sidewalk amenities (bus stops, lighting, shade) • Concerns about peak-hour traffic increases September - November 2025 This workshop reviewed eight preliminary design alternatives developed from Workshop 1 input, technical analysis, and feedback from the virtual survey. What we heard: • Preference for six lanes, five lanes, and four travel lanes with bus lane options • Protected bike paths from street traffic • Transit signal priority at intersections • More shade trees and landscape areas • Mid-block controlled crossings to reduce jaywalking and improve pedestrian access • Need for sidewalk safety and street lighting improvements December 2025 This workshop will review three refined design concepts developed from Workshop 2 input, technical analysis, and the virtual poll. Community feedback gathered during this workshop will be presented to City Council in early 2026. The goal is to identify a locally preferred alternative and move forward with final engineering in 2026. Workshop 2 Workshop 3 Informed by the three-phased workshop process, technical analysis, and results from the preference sur vey, we are now advancing concepts that are shaped by the community ’s stated priorities. Key Community Ideas for First Street ○Improve safety and access for people of all abilities. ○Add shade trees to improve sidewalk comfort. ○Provide safer, more comfortable bicycle facilities. ○Calm traffic and reduce vehicle speeds. ○Enhance bus stops with upgraded amenities. ○Improve pedestrian lighting and visibility along sidewalks. ○Add controlled pedestrian crossings, especially near schools and businesses, and in areas with long gaps between existing crosswalks.

Sidewalk with separated bikeway clearly defines bicycle and pedestrian zones along the sidewalk, and cannot accommodate street trees or other pedestrian amenities given the width constraints. Raised center median provide a safe pedestrian refuge at new mid-block crossings, helps slow and separate traffic, and adds landscaping that strengthens the corridor’s character. Reducing to four travel lanes slows traffic speeds but results in higher delays, longer travel times, and some potential diversion to other routes.

Note: The four lane concept aligns with the lower traffic volumes and the Public Realm Plan (Mixed Use Overlay Zone) on the east side of Interstate 5 (I-5). Therefore, one concept was developed for the roadway cross section on the east side. Separated bikeway creates clearly defined bicycle and pedestrian zones at the sidewalk level. Added street trees provide essential shade and improve comfort for people walking or rolling by buffering the sidewalk from traffic. 65’ roadway width shortens pedestrian crossing distances for at intersections and controlled pedestrian crossings.
