1. Introduction
The City of Santa Ana is updating their General Plan Circulation Element. The focus of the update is to
bring the Circulation Element into conformance with state policy applied through Assembly Bill (AB) 1358,
California Complete Streets Act; AB 32, California Global Warming Solutions Act; and Senate Bill (SB) 375,
California Sustainable Communities Strategy and Climate Protection Act. The Circulation Element is one of
several elements of the General Plan mandated by state planning law. It is intended to guide the development
of the City’s circulation system in a manner consistent with the land use and other elements of the General
Plan.
The City of Santa Ana, as lead agency for the project, is responsible for preparing environmental
documentation in accordance with the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), as amended, to
determine if approval of the discretionary actions requested could have a significant impact on the
environment. This Initial Study will provide the City with information to document potential impacts of the
2013 Circulation Element update (proposed project).
1.1
PROJECT LOCATION
The City of Santa Ana covers 27.3 square miles between the metropolitan areas of Los Angeles and San
Diego and is approximately 10 miles east of the Pacific Ocean and 7 miles west of the Santa Ana Mountains,
as seen in Figure 1, Regional Location. The City is built on relatively flat land and is bordered by the cities of
Orange to the north; Garden Grove, Westminster, and Fountain Valley to the west; Costa Mesa and Irvine to
the south; and Tustin to the east. Interstate 5 (I-5) intersects the northeast section of the City, connecting
Santa Ana to the greater Los Angeles region and southern Orange County. State Route 55 (SR-55) also serves
the City along the south and east side and connects to SR-22, which serves the northeast portion of Santa
Ana. Interstate 405 (I-405) runs north and south and is just west of the City boundary. The Santa Ana River,
which can be seen in Figure 2, Local Vicinity, is a channelized river that collects runoff from Riverside and
Orange Counties and runs through Santa Ana before continuing on between the cities of Huntington Beach
and Costa Mesa and entering the Pacific Ocean.
1.2
1.2.1
ENVIRONMENTAL SETTING
Existing Land Use
The current Land Use Element of the General Plan designates the City’s land uses as Residential (Low, LowMedium, and Medium Density), Commercial (General Commercial, Professional and Administrative Office,
and One Broadway Plaza District Center), Mixed-Use (District Center and Urban Neighborhood), Industrial,
Institutional, and Open Space. These designations are shown in Figure 3, General Plan Land Use Map. Of the
total acreage identified in the Land Use Element (approximately 13,655 acres), 7,285 acres (53 percent) are
Residential, 1,710 acres (13 percent) are Commercial, 658 acres (5 percent) are Mixed Use, 2,188 acres

1. Introduction
(16 percent) are Industrial, 796 acres (6 percent) are Institutional, and 1,018 acres (7 percent) are Open Space
(Santa Ana 2010a). The City is almost entirely built out, and new development would consist mostly of infill
and redevelopment.
1.2.2
Existing Circulation Networks
Regional Transportation Network
As mentioned under Section 1.1, Project Location, the City of Santa Ana is served by four freeways: I-5, SR-22,
SR-55, and SR-57. These freeways are near the northern, eastern, and southern boundaries of the City and
carry commuters into the City as well as to the surrounding region. Local roadways in the City generally form
a grid pattern oriented north–south and east–west. Major streets are within half-mile or one-mile intervals
and interrupted mainly by the freeways and the Santa Ana River. The following describes each freeway:

Interstate 5 (I-5) traverses the northeastern section of the City and has up to 12 lanes between SR-22
and SR-55.

State Route 57 (SR-57) is a north–south freeway that ends at the northern boundary of Santa Ana. This
freeway has 10 lanes, including 2 carpool lanes, and runs through north Orange County to the eastern
section of Los Angeles County.

State Route 22 (SR-22) is an east–west freeway running near the northern City limits. This freeway has
8 lanes, with a carpool lane in each direction

State Route 55 (SR-55) runs north–south along the eastern edge of the City. This freeway has 8 lanes
widening to 10 and 12 lanes between I-5 and I-405.

Interstate 405 (I-405) runs east–west just south of the City and merges with I-5 approximately 15 miles
southeast of the City. This freeway has 12 lanes and connects western Orange County to Los Angeles
County.

The San Joaquin Hills Transportation Corridor is a toll road extending from SR-73 near the City’s
southern boundary and extending southeast through Irvine, Laguna Hills, and Laguna Niguel. It connects
to I-5 at San Juan Capistrano.
Local Arterial Network
The local roadway system is a significant component of the City’s circulation network, accommodating
multiple travel modes. In addition to providing travel corridors for automobiles, buses, and bicycles, the
roadways provide rights-of-way for pedestrian travel via the parkway sidewalk system. The local roadways, in
conjunction with other components of the circulation system, provide a range of travel alternatives for the
City’s residents, employees, and visitors.

CITY OF SANTA ANA
1 Introduction
Public Transit Network
The City’s transit network is served by various agencies, providing multiple types of transit services. The
Orange County Transportation Authority (OCTA) is the regional bus transit operator and provides fixedroute bus service, Access bus service, and StationLink shuttle services. Metrolink is the regional commuter
rail operator, and Amtrak is the intercity rail operator. The City’s transportation hub is anchored by the Santa
Ana Regional Transportation Center (SARTC), which is a transfer point for OCTA buses, Metrolink, Amtrak,
and intercity bus services.
Bicycle Network
The Bicycle Master Plan organizes the local bicycle network based on bikeway classifications, defined below:

Class I (Bicycle Path). Paved rights-of-way for the exclusive use of bicyclists and pedestrians. Bicycle
paths are physically separated from vehicular traffic and are generally constructed in corridors not served
by the street network and where vehicular cross-flows are minimized. They are also known as multiuse or
shared-use paths.

Class II (Bicycle Lane). A striped lane on a roadway designated exclusively for use by bicyclists. Bicycle
lanes can be striped adjacent to the curb where no parking exists or to the left side of on-street parking
lanes.

Class III (Bicycle Route). A bikeway where cyclists share the travel lane with motor vehicles. Bicycle
routes are typically located on lower volume roadways and designated by signage or pavement markings.
Bicycle Boulevards, also called Neighborhood Greenways, are a type of Class III bikeway where local
low-volume roads are enhanced with treatments that prioritize bicycle travel. These treatments may
include wayfinding signage, pavement markings, and traffic-calming features that facilitate safe and
convenient bicycle travel and slow vehicle speeds, and minimize motorized traffic volumes.
Currently, the local bicycle network consists of Class I bike paths and Class II bike lanes. Class I bike paths
include the Santa Ana River Trail (SART), the longest off-road cycling route in Southern California, extending
from the south San Bernardino Mountains to the Pacific Ocean in Huntington Beach. Other existing Class I
bike paths are provided on segments of Alton Avenue/Maple Street, Santiago Creek Trail, Flower Street,
Santa Ana Gardens Channel/Bear Street, and MacArthur Boulevard. Existing Class II bike lanes are along
Bristol Street, Greenville Street, Memory Lane, and Newhope Street.
Pedestrian Network
The existing local pedestrian network consists of pathways, sidewalks, and intersection crossings to facilitate
pedestrian activity. Pedestrian pathways include the SART as well as sidewalks on both sides of streets
throughout the City, with a few exceptions. Pedestrian crossings are provided at most intersections, with a
variety of intersection and midblock crossing treatments. These treatments include parallel striped crosswalks
at signals, countdown signals, and pedestrian-actuated signals with audio/visual warnings, bulb-outs, and
median refuges that reduce crossing distances.

1. Introduction
Truck Routes/Goods Movement
Goods movement is one of the fastest growing segments of Orange County’s transportation sector. Orange
County has a significant level of goods movement traffic because it is a bridge between Los Angeles County
and the Inland Empire. The City’s existing street network supports goods movement through designated
truck routes. These routes include local routes and the terminal access routes for “super trucks.” Some of the
“super trucks” exceed the maximum weight allowed and are not permitted on the local routes.
Airports
John Wayne Airport is just southeast of the City of Santa Ana. John Wayne Airport plays a unique and crucial
role as the only airport in Orange County that provides commercial passenger and air-cargo service and the
primary provider of general aviation services and facilities in the county. It is estimated that 8.8 million
passengers and 18,000 tons of air cargo passed through the airport in 2012 (JWA 2013). Other commercial
airports serving the City are Los Angeles International Airport, Ontario Airport, Long Beach Airport, and
Burbank Airport.
Parking Facilities and Programs
Parking facilities are an essential component of the vehicular circulation system. Historically, parking has been
provided along the street and in off-street parking lots. In recent years, however, parking along arterial streets
has increasingly been removed for safety reasons and to provide more traffic capacity. Key factors related to
parking are addressed in the Circulation Element and include:

On-Street Parking. In Santa Ana today, on-street parking is prohibited on principal, major, primary, and
secondary arterials wherever possible. Parking is permitted on local streets unless specifically prohibited.

Permit Parking Program. The City has established a permit parking program in response primarily to
parking intrusion into single-family neighborhoods from adjacent developments. The City has numerous
neighborhood permit parking districts in this program. Within these districts, on-street parking is
regulated to ensure that spillover parking demands do not prevent local residents from parking on the
street.

Off-Street Parking. Off-street parking standards are established in the City’s Zoning Code for specified
land uses. The number of required off-street parking spaces for new or modified developments is
identified, as are the minimum dimensions and design standards for parking spaces.

Park and Ride. The City has one park-and-ride facility, located at the SARTC, for those who choose to
carpool or use public transportation to reach their destinations. Several public parking structures offering
paid parking are also provided in the Downtown/Civic Center area.

PROJECT DESCRIPTION
1.3.1
Consistency with other General Plan Elements
State law requires that a General Plan be internally consistent. Goals, policies, and implementation measures
in the General Plan elements must support and be consistent with one another. Therefore, the City of Santa
Ana‘s Circulation Element builds on the other elements in its General Plan and is consistent with their goals
and policies. The 16 elements of the Santa Ana General Plan are:








Airport Environs Element
Circulation Element
Conservation Element
Economic Development Element
Education Element
Energy Element
Growth Management Element
Housing Element








Land Use Element
Noise Element
Open Space, Parks, and Recreation Element
Public Facilities Element
Public Safety Element
Scenic Corridors Element
Seismic Safety Element
Urban Design Element
The City aims to maintain consistency between General Plan elements by ensuring that proposed changes in
one element are reflected in other elements through amendments of the General Plan. The Circulation
Element, in particular, is designed to serve as an overarching policy document that bridges specific state
policies (AB 1358, AB 32, and SB 375) with the goals and policies in the General Plan. The Circulation
Element provides a blueprint for multimodal circulation development City-wide in a manner consistent with
the land use and other elements of the General Plan.
1.3.2
Circulation Element Sections
The Circulation Element is one of seven elements of the General Plan mandated by state planning law. In
response to state requirements and local objectives, the Circulation Element update (proposed project) will
consists of five sections:
1) Purpose and Scope. Provides an overview of goals and objectives of the Circulation Element and a
summary of the state regulations (Government Code Section 65302(b)(2)(A) and (B)) governing the
element’s scope and content.
2) Community Factors. Outlines of opportunities and constraints that are important considerations in the
formulation of the policy plan.
3) Policy Plan. Details of the City’s goals and policies related to transportation planning, development, and
implementation. Also included in the policy plan are the Master Plan of Streets and Highways, Fixed
Guideway Plan, Bikeway Master Plan, and the Pedestrian Opportunity Area Plan.
April 2014
Page 13
CITY OF SANTA ANA
1. Introduction
4) Implementation Plan. Identifies action steps that will be used to implement the Circulation Element’s
goals and policies.
5) Appendix. Background information and technical studies relevant to analyzing existing conditions and
future development related to the City’s circulation network. The Appendix also provides travel forecasts
and evaluates future conditions, characterizes regional and local improvements to the circulation system,
and discusses key implementation strategies.
The Circulation Element is integrally related to federal, state, and regional transportation programs as well as local
plans and regulations. The City’s role in transportation planning has become increasingly important, since recent
legislation in the areas of complete streets, active transportation, congestion management, sustainability,
greenhouse gas emissions, and air quality require more active local coordination to meet regional objectives.
1.3.3
1.3.3.1
Policy Plan
GOALS AND POLICIES
The policy plan reflects the City’s vision for a comprehensive circulation system that is safe, efficient, and
attractive for all users. These goals and policies are meant to serve the City through 2035. The Circulation
Element Update will include a policies and implementation actions to achieve its “transportation vision.” This
vision is intended to achieve the following overarching goals:
Goal 1
Provide and maintain a comprehensive circulation system that facilitates the efficient movement
of people and goods throughout the City, and enhances its economic vitality.
Goal 2
Provide a transportation system where travelers of all ages and abilities can move safely along
and across a network of complete streets.
Goal 3
Promote a healthy and active community by designing a street network that encourages walking
and cycling as convenient modes of travel for a variety of trips.
Goal 4
Ensure all users of the transportation network can move and travel in a safe manner.
Goal 5
Fully coordinate transportation and land use planning activities.
Goal 6
Promote a healthy environment and sustainable community through an attractive transportation
network with state of the art strategies.
1.3.3.2
CIRCULATION NETWORK
A circulation network is all of the roads, bikeways, walkways, railways, and other forms of travel in the City. The
proposed circulation networks for different forms of travel are shown in Figure 4, Master Plan of Streets and
Highways, Figure 5, Fixed Guideway Plan, Figure 6, Bikeway Master Plan, and Figure 7, Pedestrian Opportunity Area Plan.
The Master Plan of Streets and Highways map details proposed street reclassifications to reflect buildout of
the City’s roadway system. The street classifications include Freeways, Principal Arterial, Major Arterial,
Page 14
PlaceWorks
CITY OF SANTA ANA
1 Introduction
Primary Arterial, Secondary Arterial, Divided Collector Arterial, and Collector Street. The majority of
proposed reclassifications aim to reduce existing rights-of-way for vehicular traffic lanes in place for bicycle
and pedestrian improvements. Landmark Streets are also identified within or adjacent to the Santa Ana
Downtown Historic District, which is listed on the National Register of Historic Places.
The Fixed Guideway Plan map shows two alignment alternative for the proposed transit street car. The
proposed Fixed Guideway, or streetcar, would link the Metrolink and Amtrak Commuter Rail and the Santa
Ana Regional Transportation Center to a new transportation center in the City of Garden Grove.
The Bikeway Master Plan figure illustrates buildout of the City’s bikeway system, including existing and
proposed routes and facilities. Bikeways are categorized as Class I (Bicycle Path), Class II (Bicycle Lane), and
Class III (Bicycle Route). The Bikeway Master Plan proposes 54.1 new miles of new Class I, II, and III
bikeways along the majority of the City’s major roadways, and also recommends physical upgrades
throughout the City to improve the overall bicycling network (i.e. bicycle boulevards, wayfinding signage,
improvements to existing facilities, rest stops, and new end-of-trip facilities).
The Pedestrian Opportunity Area Plan figure represents key pedestrian corridors or area identified
throughout the City. Existing or anticipated concentration of pedestrians are expected in these areas and/or
destinations, which can be improved upon through implementation of intersection improvements (i.e. highvisibility cross-walk markings, countdown signals, audible signals, curb extensions, and pedestrian refuge
islands), streetscape enhancements (i.e. landscaping, street furniture, design features, and amenities), and other
traffic-calming features to encourage safe and efficient pedestrian travels.
1.3.4
Implementation Plan
The Implementation Plan identifies action steps necessary to implement the circulation goals and policies.
For each goal, there are implementation actions, responsible agencies, and time frames associated.
Corresponding policies are also noted.
1.3.5
City Action Requested
The Santa Ana City Council is the City’s legislative body and the approving authority for the City of Santa Ana
General Plan Circulation Element. In order to implement the proposed project, the City Council must approve the
General Plan Circulation Element and certify the Environmental Impact Report (EIR) to be prepared for the
project. The Orange County Transportation Authority (OCTA) is responsible for administering the Master Plan of
Arterial Highways (MPAH), which was initially established in 1956 to ensure that a regional arterial highway
network would be planned, developed, and preserved, in order to supplement Orange County’s developing freeway
system. The MPAH map is a critical element of overall transportation planning and operations in Orange County,
because it defines a countywide circulation system in response to existing and planned land uses. It is continuously
updated to reflect the changing development and traffic patterns. The City’s Master Plan of Streets and Highways
must maintain an equivalent number of minimum through lanes on each arterial highway shown on the County
MPAH. Thus, OCTA is ultimately responsible for the review and approval of MPAH amendments requested by
local agencies, including the City of Santa Ana.

and regulations. The City’s role in transportation planning has become increasingly important, since
recent legislation in the areas of complete streets, growth management, congestion management,
greenhouse gas emissions, and air quality require more active local coordination to meet regional
objectives.
The Circulation Element update consists of five components: 1) the purpose and scope; 2) community

EVALUATION OF ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACTS
6) A brief explanation is required for all answers except “No Impact” answers that are adequately
supported by the information sources a lead agency cites in the parentheses following each question.
A “No Impact” answer is adequately supported if the referenced information sources show that the
impact simply does not apply to projects like the one involved (e.g. the project falls outside a fault
rupture zone). A “No Impact” answer should be explained where it is based on project-specific
factors, as well as general standards (e.g. the project would not expose sensitive receptors to
pollutants, based on a project-specific screening analysis).
7) All answers must take account of the whole action involved, including off-site as well as on-site,
cumulative as well as project-level, indirect as well as direct, and construction as well as operational
impacts.
8) Once the lead agency has determined that a particular physical impact may occur, then the checklist
answers must indicate whether the impact is potentially significant, less than significant with
mitigation, or less than significant. “Potentially Significant Impact” is appropriate if there is
substantial evidence that an effect may be significant. If there are one or more “Potentially Significant
Impact” entries when the determination is made, an EIR is required.
9) “Negative Declaration: Less Than Significant With Mitigation Incorporated” applies where the
incorporation of mitigation measures has reduced an effect from “Potentially Significant Impact” to
a “Less Than Significant Impact.” The lead agency must describe the mitigation measures, and briefly
explain how they reduce the effect to a less than significant level.
10) Earlier analyses may be used where, pursuant to the tiering, program EIR, or other CEQA process,
an effect has been adequately analyzed in an earlier EIR or negative declaration.
Section 15063(c)(3)(D). In this case, a brief discussion should identify the following:
a) Earlier Analyses Used. Identify and state where they are available for review.
b) Impacts Adequately Addressed. Identify which effects from the above checklist were within
the scope of and adequately analyzed in an earlier document pursuant to applicable legal
standards, and state whether such effects were addressed by mitigation measures based on the
earlier analysis.
c) Mitigation Measures. For effects that are “Less than Significant with Mitigation Measures
Incorporated,” describe the mitigation measures which were incorporated or refined from the
earlier document and the extent to which they address site-specific conditions for the project.
11) Lead agencies are encouraged to incorporate into the checklist references to information sources for
potential impacts (e.g. general plans, zoning ordinances). Reference to a previously prepared or
outside document should, where appropriate, include a reference to the page or pages where the
statement is substantiated. A source list should be attached, and other sources used or individuals
contacted should be cited in the discussion.
12) Supporting Information Sources: A source list should be attached, and other sources used or
individuals contacted should be cited in the discussion.

13) This is only a suggested form, and lead agencies are free to use different formats; however, lead
agencies should normally address the questions from this checklist that are relevant to a project’s
environmental effects in whatever format is selected.
14) The explanation of each issue should identify:
a) the significance criteria or threshold, if any, used to evaluate each question; and
b) the mitigation measure identified, if any, to reduce the impact to less than significant.

3. Environmental Analysis
Section 2.3 provided a checklist of environmental impacts. This section provides an evaluation of the impact
categories and questions in the checklist.
3.1
AESTHETICS
a) Have a substantial adverse effect on a scenic vista?
Less Than Significant Impact. The proposed project would allow improvements and expansions to be
made to the existing roadway, bikeway, pedestrian, and rail systems in the City. The City is built out and
relatively flat and does not have significant hills or viewpoints that may provide scenic vistas. Nearby hills,
including the Santa Ana Mountains to the east and the Puente Hills and the San Bernardino Mountains to the
north, are visible from points in the City. However, improvements made to the existing roadways, bike lanes,
railways and train stations, and sidewalks would be mostly at ground level and would not have the potential to
compromise vistas of scenic resources. Impacts would be less than significant.
b) Substantially damage scenic resources, including, but not limited to, trees, rock outcroppings,
and historic buildings within a state scenic highway?
Potentially Significant Impact. Improvements to the existing circulation system in Santa Ana would
potentially affect scenic resources within the City. Open space and historic resources are located alongside the
City’s roadways, bike paths, railways, and sidewalks; the General Plan also identifies scenic corridors within
Santa Ana, including First and Fourth Streets, Main Street/Broadway, and MacArthur Boulevard (Caltrans
2013; Santa Ana 2010b). If these circulation systems are expanded, there may be potential for development to
encroach on existing scenic and historic resources. Impacts to historic resources are discussed further in
Section 3.5, Cultural Resources.
There are no state-designated scenic highways in Santa Ana. The closest state scenic highway is the State
Route 91 (SR-91) segment from SR-55 to the eastern limit of the City of Anaheim, which is approximately
five miles from Santa Ana’s northern boundary (Caltrans 2013). Since the Circulation Element only proposes
transportation improvements within the City’s boundaries, no impact would occur to state scenic highways.
Impacts to scenic resources would be potentially significant and will be further analyzed in the EIR.
c) Substantially degrade the existing visual character or quality of the site and its surroundings?
Potentially Significant Impact. The proposed project would allow improvements to the existing circulation
system in the City, which may affect the character of transportation corridors, roadways, bike paths, railways,
and sidewalks. For example, the roadway reclassifications in the proposed Santa Ana Master Plan of Streets
and Highways (MPSH) propose a number of streets for reclassification from a four-lane Secondary Arterial
Page 37
PlaceWorks
CITY OF SANTA ANA
to a two-lane Divided Collector Arterial to permit implementation of Class II on-street bicycle lanes and
pedestrian improvements in place of traffic lanes. Some streets are proposed for reclassification from a Major
Arterial to Primary Arterial to allow for the implementation of Class II on-street bikeways and/or better size
the street capacity for future traffic volumes. Others are reclassified from Primary Arterial to Secondary
Arterials to reduce future street widening based on forecast traffic volumes and to provide more space for
future implementation of bicycle and pedestrian facilities. Several street segments are also proposed to be
adopted into the Orange County MPAH, and selected street segments are identified to be removed from the
MPSH and MPAH. Roadways adjacent to or within the Santa Ana Downtown Historic District are proposed
for Landmark designation. Many of the proposed road classifications under the Circulation Element involve
reallocating rights-of-way to permit implementation of bicycle and pedestrian improvements in place of
traffic lanes. Bicycle and pedestrian improvements, such as landscaping, proper pavement markings,
pedestrian refuge islands, and other traffic-calming features, would also be implemented.
Aside from roadway reclassifications, the proposed Circulation Element includes several transit enhancements
throughout the City, such as planned bus rapid transit (BRT) routes along Harbor Boulevard, Westminster/
Seventeenth Street, and Bristol Street, and fixed guideway/streetcar alignments between Santa Ana Regional
Transportation Center and Garden Grove.
In addition, as part of the Pedestrian Master Plan, pedestrian opportunity zones are identified as areas with
existing high pedestrian activity or with the potential for high pedestrian activity once land use densities
and/or street and pedestrian improvements are made. Opportunities to provide enhanced pedestrian facilities,
including wider sidewalks, improved and more frequent street crossings, and enhanced streetscape, would
potentially change the visual character of existing roadways and their surroundings.
While most improvement projects consistent with the proposed Circulation Element would be within existing
rights-of-way, the proposed changes to roadway classifications, transit networks, and bicycle and pedestrian
pathways would alter the existing character of the streets and their surroundings. Although these
improvements would potentially improve the existing visual character of the street segments, impacts may be
potentially significant and will be further analyzed in the EIR.
d) Create a new source of substantial light or glare, which would adversely affect day or nighttime
views in the area?
Potentially Significant Impact. Development in accordance with the proposed project would allow for new
and expanded transportation facilities, including expanded roadways, bike lanes, railways, and pedestrian
sidewalks. Security and nighttime lighting would be included as part of the expansions, creating new sources
of light and glare that may affect adjacent sensitive land uses. Impacts related to light and glare are potentially
significant and will be further analyzed in the EIR.
3.2
AGRICULTURE AND FORESTRY RESOURCES
In determining whether impacts to agricultural resources are significant environmental effects, lead agencies
may refer to the California Agricultural Land Evaluation and Site Assessment Model (1997) prepared by the
California Dept. of Conservation as an optional model to use in assessing impacts on agriculture and
Page 38
PlaceWorks
CITY OF SANTA ANA
farmland. In determining whether impacts to forest resources, including timberland, are significant
environmental effects, lead agencies may refer to information compiled by the California Department of
Forestry and Fire Protection regarding the state’s inventory of forest land, including the Forest and Range
Assessment Project and the Forest Legacy Assessment project; and forest carbon measurement methodology
provided in Forest Protocols adopted by the California Air Resources Board. Would the project:
a) Convert Prime Farmland, Unique Farmland, or Farmland of Statewide Importance (Farmland),
as shown on the maps prepared pursuant to the Farmland Mapping and Monitoring Program of
the California Resources Agency, to non-agricultural use?
No Impact. The City of Santa Ana is built out and does not have any prime farmland, unique farmland, or
farmland of statewide importance (DLRP 2011). The proposed project would not negatively affect any
designated farmland and no impacts would occur.
b) Conflict with existing zoning for agricultural use, or a Williamson Act contract?
No Impact. As stated above in Section 3.2(a), there is no farmland in the City of Santa Ana. Additionally,
there are no lands designated as Williamson Act contract lands (CDC 2013). No impacts related to
Williamson Act contract lands would occur.
c) Conflict with existing zoning for, or cause rezoning of, forest land (as defined in Public
Resources Code Section 12220(g)), timberland (as defined by Public Resources Code
Section 4526), or timberland zoned Timberland Production (as defined by Government Code
Section 51104(g))?
No Impact. Per the City’s land use plan and zoning map, there is no land designated or zoned for forest land,
timberland, or timberland production in the City of Santa Ana. No impacts related to forest land would
occur.
d) Result in the loss of forest land or conversion of forest land to non-forest use?
No Impact. The City does not have any land that is used for forest or forest production, and no land is
designated or zoned for these uses. No impacts related to forest land conversion would occur.
e) Involve other changes in the existing environment which, due to their location or nature, could
result in conversion of Farmland, to non-agricultural use or conversion of forest land to nonforest use?
No Impact. The City does not have any land that is used for forest, forest production, or agricultural land
uses and no land is designated as or zoned for these uses. No impacts related to forest or agricultural land
conversion would occur.

3.3
AIR QUALITY
Where available, the significance criteria established by the applicable air quality management or air pollution
control district may be relied upon to make the following determinations. Would the project:
a) Conflict with or obstruct implementation of the applicable air quality plan?
No Impact. CEQA requires that projects undergo a consistency evaluation with the Air Quality
Management Plan (AQMP), which for the South Coast Air Basin (SoCAB) is the 2012 AQMP adopted by the
South Coast Air Quality Management District (SCAQMD) on December 7, 2012. A consistency
determination plays an important role in local agency project review by linking local planning and individual
projects to the AQMP. It fulfills the CEQA goal of informing decision makers of the environmental effects
of the project under consideration at an early enough stage to ensure that air quality concerns are fully
addressed. It also provides the local agency with ongoing information as to whether they are contributing to
clean air goals contained in the AQMP. Only new or amended General Plan elements, Specific Plans, and
major projects need to undergo a consistency review. This is because the AQMP strategy is based on
projections from local General Plans. Projects that are consistent with the local General Plan are considered
consistent with the air-quality-related regional plan.
The SCAQMD and Southern California Association of Governments (SCAG) uses population projections
and vehicle miles traveled (VMT) estimates based on housing and employment densities accommodated by a
city’s General Plan. The proposed project involves an update to the Circulation Element of the City’s General
Plan. This action would amend the existing General Plan for the City, but the revised Circulation Element
would not result in an increase in either housing or employment density for the City. In addition, components
of the proposed Circulation Element update—such as the Bikeway Master Plan, Pedestrian Opportunity Area
Plan, implementation of a fixed-guideway/streetcar system, BRT routes, and incorporation of Complete
Street principles—would contribute to reducing VMT and mobile-source emissions of criteria air pollutants.
Reduction in VMT and vehicle trips would also contribute to reducing congestion at local intersection.
Therefore, revisions to the City’s Circulation Element would be consistent with the 2012 AQMP. No impacts
would occur.
b) Violate any air quality standard or contribute substantially to an existing or projected air quality
violation?
Potentially Significant Impact. The proposed Circulation Element update is a policy-level document that
would not result in direct changes to the existing land uses identified under the adopted General Plan.
However, the various proposed transportation strategies and roadway and transportation-related
infrastructure improvements could affect traffic patterns in the City and result in changes to emissions of
criteria air pollutants. Impacts are potentially significant and will be fully analyzed in the EIR.

CITY OF SANTA ANA
c) Result in a cumulatively considerable net increase of any criteria pollutant for which the project
region is nonattainment under an applicable federal or state ambient air quality standard
(including releasing emissions which exceed quantitative thresholds for ozone precursors)?
Potentially Significant Impact. The SoCAB is designated nonattainment for ozone (O3) and fine inhalable
particulate matter (PM2.5) under the California and National Ambient Air Quality Standards (AAQS), and
nonattainment for coarse inhalable particulate matter (PM10), oxides of nitrogen (NOx), and lead (Los
Angeles County only) under the California AAQS. Air pollutant emissions generated by the project could
cumulatively contribute to the nonattainment designations of the SoCAB. Impacts are potentially significant
and will be fully analyzed in the EIR.
d) Expose sensitive receptors to substantial pollutant concentrations?
Less Than Significant Impact. The proposed Circulation Element update is a policy-level document that
would not modify the existing land use designations in the adopted General Plan and would therefore not
result in construction of new stationary sources. Thus, it would also not result in direct generation of new
vehicle trips and mobile-source emissions. Although the proposed project could result in redistribution of
traffic on local arterials in the City, an air quality analysis would be completed on a project-by-project basis to
determine whether sensitive receptors would be exposed to substantial pollutant concentrations from longterm mobile-source and short-term construction-related emissions. Future projects would comply with all
SCAQMD requirements in addition to any mitigation measures required by the project-level CEQA analyses.
Therefore, localized impacts from implementation of the proposed Circulation Element update would be less
than significant.
e) Create objectionable odors affecting a substantial number of people?
Less Than Significant Impact. The threshold for odor is if a project creates an odor nuisance pursuant to
SCAQMD Rule 402, Nuisance, which states:
A person shall not discharge from any source whatsoever such quantities of air
contaminants or other material which cause injury, detriment, nuisance, or annoyance to any
considerable number of persons or to the public, or which endanger the comfort, repose,
health or safety of any such persons or the public, or which cause, or have a natural
tendency to cause, injury or damage to business or property. The provisions of this rule shall
not apply to odors emanating from agricultural operations necessary for the growing of
crops or the raising of fowl or animals.
The proposed project would not directly result in new land uses; thus, no long-term odors would be
generated by the proposed project. Construction of roadway and transportation-related infrastructure
improvements could generate emissions from construction equipment, such as diesel exhaust, that may
generate some odors. However, these would be low in concentration, temporary, and are not expected to
affect a substantial number of people. The proposed project would not result in objectionable odor impacts.
Impacts are less than significant.

BIOLOGICAL RESOURCES
a) Have a substantial adverse effect, either directly or through habitat modifications, on any species
identified as a candidate, sensitive, or special status species in local or regional plans, policies, or
regulations, or by the California Department of Fish and Wildlife or US Fish and Wildlife
Service?
Potentially Significant Impact. The City of Santa Ana is almost entirely built out with an established
circulation system. Future transportation system improvements consistent with the proposed project would
be made primarily within the existing rights-of-way or adjacent developed property. As described in the City’s
General Plan, natural habitat and wildlife are limited given the City’s urban nature. However, the City does
have areas of open space, including parks and trails, used for recreational purposes. Although the portion of
the Santa Ana River that falls within the City is completely channelized, certain stretches of the Santiago
Creek offer undisturbed plant and wildlife environments. According to a California Natural Diversity
Database (CNDDB) search, the least Bell’s vireo, a state and federal listed endangered species, can be found
in Santa Ana. Given that the proposed project includes an extension of the Santiago Bike Trail along Santiago
Creek through dense and undisturbed vegetation, the proposed project could have a potentially significant
impact on the least Bell’s vireo either directly or through habitat modifications. A more thorough biological
assessment of the Santiago Creek area would be necessary for a more conclusive analysis. Thus, impacts to
species either directly or through habitat modification would be potentially significant, and impacts will be
further analyzed in the EIR.
b) Have a substantial adverse effect on any riparian habitat or other sensitive natural community
identified in local or regional plans, policies, regulations, or by the California Department of Fish
and Game or US Fish and Wildlife Service?
Potentially Significant Impact. As stated above, the City of Santa Ana is almost entirely built out with an
established circulation system. Future transportation system improvements consistent with the proposed
would be made primarily within the existing rights-of-way or adjacent developed property. The only areas that
would have any riparian habitat or other sensitive natural community as identified by CDFW or USFWS
would be along the Santa Ana River or Santiago Creek. According to the USFWS National Wetlands
Inventory, the Santa Ana River is classified as a lower perennial in the riverine system. This means it is
characterized as a low gradient and slow water velocity system with no tidal influence, and some water flow
throughout the year (USFWS 2010). The portion of the Santa Ana River within the City of Santa Ana is in a
concrete channel and has no riparian habitat or other sensitive natural community. On the other hand, the
Santiago Creek is classified as an intermittent streambed in the riverine system, which means it is
characterized as a channel that contains flowing water only part of the year, but may contain isolated pools
when the flow stops (USFWS 2010). The creek has dense vegetation and undisturbed riparian habitat in some
portions.
As part of the proposed Bicycle Master Plan, two options are proposed for extending the Santiago Bike Trail
along the Santiago Creek. Option One would extend the trail farther west beyond the existing terminus under
the I-5 bridge. This option would have a potentially significant impact on the Santiago Creek because it would
Page 42
PlaceWorks
CITY OF SANTA ANA
extend into the creek’s undisturbed riparian habitat. Option Two would extend the trail south on Main Street
and continue west onto Santa Clara Avenue within existing rights-of-way; thus, it would not have an impact
on Santiago Creek’s riparian habitat and sensitive communities. Therefore, the extension of the Santiago Bike
Trail could have a potentially significant impact on the Santiago Creek if Option One is implemented. A
more thorough biological assessment would be necessary to provide a detailed analysis of existing biological
habitats within Santiago Creek. Impacts to riparian habitats or other sensitive natural communities from
development in accordance with the proposed project would be potentially significant and will be further
analyzed in the EIR.
c) Have a substantial adverse effect on federally protected wetlands as defined by Section 404 of the
Clean Water Act (including, but not limited to, marsh, vernal pool, coastal, etc.) through direct
removal, filling, hydrological interruption, or other means?
Potentially Significant Impact. The City of Santa Ana does not have any federally protected wetlands, with
the exception of wetlands in the Santa Ana River and Santiago Creek channels (USFWS 2013).
As described in Section 3.4(b), the proposed update to the Circulation Element includes updating the Bicycle
Master Plan, which proposes two options to extend the Santiago Creek Bike Trail. Option One would require
clearing of vegetation and brush to provide enough space for a Class I bike path, and therefore has the
potential to significantly impact the Santiago Creek. Option Two would have no impact on federally protected
wetlands because the bike trail would extend along Main Street, Santa Clara Avenue, and Flower Street, which
are developed roadways. Therefore, a more thorough biological assessment of the Santiago Creek area would
be required to determine the significance of the project’s impacts on the Santiago Creek wetlands.
The Bikeway Master Plan also proposes Class II bike lanes connecting W. Santa Ana Boulevard to
Westminster Avenue and on Garden Grove Boulevard, W. Seventeenth Street, W. Fifth Street, W. First Street,
and W. McFadden Avenue, which all cross the Santa Ana River on existing bridges. The proposed Class II
bike lane connecting W. Santa Ana Boulevard to Westminster Avenue is also proposed to be classified as a
primary arterial roadway in the MPSH. It is currently an iron pedestrian bridge crossing the Santa Ana River.
Therefore, implementation of the Class II bike lane would require demolishing the pedestrian bridge and
constructing a multimodal bridge for vehicles, bicyclists, and pedestrians. The remaining proposed Class II
bike lanes across the Santa Ana River would be implemented within existing rights-of-way and would only
require restriping of traffic lanes. All proposed improvements along the Santa Ana River are within parts of
the river that are completely concrete and channelized. There is no existing vegetation or wildlife in these
areas. Therefore, any bridge improvements or widening projects associated with implementing Class II bike
lanes along these roadways would not impact any federally protected areas of wetlands along the Santa Ana
River.
In conclusion, the proposed project would have a potentially significant impact on wetlands within the
Santiago Creek based on the proposed extension of the Santiago Bike Trail along the creek west of I-5, but
not on the Santa Ana River. This issue will be further discussed in the EIR.

CITY OF SANTA ANA
d) Interfere substantially with the movement of any native resident or migratory fish or wildlife
species or with established native resident or migratory wildlife corridors, or impede the use of
native wildlife nursery sites?
Potentially Significant Impact. The City has little open space or habitat available for use by fish and
wildlife species for migratory or nursery purposes. As previously stated, the Santa Ana River has concrete bed
and banks with the exception of the Riverview Golf Course, which lies over the river in the northern portion
of the City. The concrete channeling of the Santa Ana River is not suitable as a wildlife corridor and does not
contain suitable nesting habitat for migratory birds. However, certain stretches of Santiago Creek offer
undisturbed plant and wildlife environments that have the potential to act as wildlife corridors or nesting
habitats. Santiago Creek is considered a regional wildlife corridor between the Santa Ana Mountains and the
Santa Ana River; coyotes, raccoons, and skunks are typically present in Santiago Park Nature Reserve between
SR-22 to Main Street (Roach 2014; Santa Ana Department of Parks and Recreation 2013).
The proposed update to the Circulation Element includes updating the Bicycle Master Plan, which proposes
two options to extend the Santiago Creek Bike Trail. One of the options would extend the trail along the
Santiago Creek farther west past the existing terminus under the I-5 bridge as a Class I bike path and would
require removing brush and vegetation to provide space for the bike path. By removing undisturbed
vegetation, the proposed project could have adverse impacts on the Santiago Creek wildlife corridor and its
related species. Thus, impacts to the Santiago Creek are potentially significant and will be addressed in the
EIR.
e) Conflict with any local policies or ordinances protecting biological resources, such as a tree
preservation policy or ordinance?
Less Than Significant Impact. The proposed updated Circulation Element would allow for improvements
to be made to the existing roadways, railways, and bike and pedestrian paths. This may cause the removal of
street trees and vegetation. Therefore, developments in accordance with the proposed project would be
required to comply with the City’s tree planting, maintaining, and removal ordinance, per Part II, Chapter 33
(Streets, Sidewalks, and Public Works), Article VII (Regulation of the Planting, Maintenance, and Removal of
Trees) of the City’s Municipal Code . The ordinance requires site plan approval related to street tree planting
requirements, public tree care and maintenance, planting of specific street tree species, and also prohibits
various activities that may damage the City’s street trees. Compliance with the City’s tree ordinance would
ensure Santa Ana’s urban forest remain preserved and well-maintained. Thus, impacts from the proposed
project related to and the City’s tree ordinance would be less than significant.
f) Conflict with the provisions of an adopted Habitat Conservation Plan, Natural Community
Conservation Plan, or other approved local, regional, or state habitat conservation plan?
No Impact. The Natural Community Conservation Plan (NCCP) that covers Orange County has two
subareas—the southern subarea and the central-coastal subarea. This NCCP is meant to protect habitat of
candidate, sensitive, and special status species in Orange County. The City of Santa Ana does not fall within
either of these two subareas (CDFW 2013). Thus, no impacts associated with HCPs or NCCPs would occur.

3.5
CULTURAL RESOURCES
a) Cause a substantial adverse change in the significance of a historical resource as defined in
§ 15064.5?
Potentially Significant Impact. Section 15064.5 defines historic resources as resources listed or determined
to be eligible for listing by the State Historical Resources Commission, a local register of historical resources,
or the lead agency. Generally a resource is considered to be “historically significant” if it meets one of the
following criteria:
i)
Is associated with events that have made a significant contribution to the broad patterns of California’s
history and cultural heritage;
ii) Is associated with the lives of persons important in our past;
iii) Embodies the distinctive characteristics of a type, period, region or method of construction, or
represents the work of an important creative individual, or possesses high artistic values; or
iv) Has yielded, or may be likely to yield, information important in prehistory or history.
As one of the earliest developed areas in Orange County, the City of Santa Ana has identified a number of
historic resources, which are cataloged and maintained by the Santa Ana Historic Resources Commission, per
Part II, Chapter 30 (Places of Historical and Architectural Significance), of the City’s Municipal Code. The
proposed Circulation Element includes policy changes and modifications to the existing circulation system in
the City that may affect historically significant buildings and other resources per Section 15064.5 of CEQA.
Improvements to existing roadways, railways, and bike paths under the Circulation Element update may
directly or indirectly affect adjacent resources. Impacts would be potentially significant and will be addressed
in the EIR.
b) Cause a substantial adverse change in the significance of an archaeological resource pursuant to
§ 15064.5?
Potentially Significant Impact. The proposed update to the Circulation Element would allow for
development improvements to the existing roadways, railways, and pedestrian and bike paths. Although most
of these improvements would be within the existing rights-of-way, new ground disturbance may extend to
greater depths or be in areas where only superficial development has occurred in the past. For example,
roadway widening or expanded sidewalk construction may uncover resources previously undisturbed.
Archaeological resources as defined by CEQA Guidelines Section 15064.5 may be present in these areas, and
impacts are potentially significant and will be addressed in the EIR.
c) Directly or indirectly destroy a unique paleontological resource or site or unique geologic
feature?
Potentially Significant Impact. The proposed update to the Circulation Element would allow for
development improvements to the existing roadways, railways, and pedestrian and bike paths. Although most
April 2014
Page 45
CITY OF SANTA ANA
of these improvements would be within the existing rights-of-way, new ground disturbance may extend to
greater depths or in areas where only superficial development has occurred in the past. Paleontological
resources may be present in these areas, and impacts are potentially significant and will be addressed in the
EIR.
d) Disturb any human remains, including those interred outside of formal cemeteries?
Less Than Significant Impact. Due to the current urbanized character of the City, it is considered unlikely
that any human remains would be uncovered due to future transportation improvements consistent with the
Circulation Element update. Any future development that occurs as anticipated by the proposed project
would be subject to subsequent review under CEQA on a project-by-project basis to determine if any human
remains exist. Moreover, California Health and Safety Code Section 7050.5, CEQA Section 15064.5, and
Public Resources Code Section 5097.98 mandate the process to be followed in the event of an accidental
discovery of any human remains in a location other than a dedicated cemetery. Specifically, California Health
and Safety Code Section 7050.5 requires that in the event that human remains are discovered within the
project site, disturbance of the site shall remain halted until the coroner has conducted an investigation into
the circumstances, manner and cause of any death, and the recommendations concerning the treatment and
disposition of the human remains have been made to the person responsible for the excavation, or to his or
her authorized representative, in the manner provided in Section 5097.98 of the Public Resources Code. If
the coroner determines that the remains are not subject to his or her authority and if the coroner recognizes
or has reason to believe the human remains to be those of a Native American, he or she shall contact, by
telephone within 24 hours, the Native American Heritage Commission. Although ground-disturbing activities
associated with development in accordance with the Circulation Element update could result in the discovery
of human remains, compliance with existing law would ensure that significant impacts to human remains
would not occur. Therefore, the proposed project would result in a less than significant impact on human
remains disturbance.
3.6
GEOLOGY AND SOILS
a) Expose people or structures to potential substantial adverse effects, including the risk of loss,
injury, or death involving:
i) Rupture of a known earthquake fault, as delineated on the most recent Alquist-Priolo
Earthquake Fault Zoning map, issued by the State Geologist for the area or based on other
substantial evidence of a known fault? Refer to Division of Mines and Geology Special
Publication 42.
No Impact. The Alquist-Priolo Earthquake Fault Zoning Act was passed in 1972 to mitigate the hazards
of surface faulting and fault rupture to structures. The entire southern California region is considered
seismically active. Santa Ana is in a high seismic risk zone subject to seismic activity from various nearby
faults, including the El Modeno fault and the Newport-Inglewood-Rose Canyon fault (CGS 2010).
However, none of these faults are zoned under the guidelines of the Alquist-Priolo Earthquake Fault
Page 46
PlaceWorks
CITY OF SANTA ANA
Zoning Act. Thus, there are no Alquist-Priolo fault zones in the vicinity of the City, and no impact would
occur.
ii) Strong seismic ground shaking?
Less Than Significant Impact. The City of Santa Ana is in southern California, which is known to be
seismically active. More specifically, the Newport-Inglewood-Rose Canyon fault lies approximately eight
miles southwest of the City and would likely generate the most severe ground shaking. Any future
development that occurs in conjunction with the proposed project would be required to adhere to the
most recent seismic standards in the California Building Code (CBC) adopted by the City of Santa Ana
and would be subject to CEQA review. The City has adopted the 2010 CBC under the City’s Municipal
Code, Part II, Chapter 8, Article II (Building Code). Any future updates to the 2010 CBC would also be
adopted as the applicable Building Code for the City. CBC includes building design standards for the
construction of new buildings and/or structures and specific seismic engineering design and
construction measures to avoid the potential for adverse ground shaking impacts. The proposed update
to the Circulation Element would allow for development improvements on existing roadways, railways,
and pedestrian and bike paths. These improvements would be required to comply with state and local
regulations regarding seismic design and safety standards. Impacts on seismic ground shaking would be
less than significant.
iii) Seismic-related ground failure, including liquefaction?
Less Than Significant Impact. Liquefaction is the phenomenon in which uniformly sized, loosely
deposited, saturated, granular soils with low clay content undergo rapid loss of shear strength through
the development of excess pore pressure during strong ground shaking. Soils with these properties that
undergo sufficient duration and intensity of ground shaking may behave as a fluid for a short period of
time. According to the Department of Conservation Seismic Hazard Zones Maps for the Newport
Beach, Anaheim, Orange, and Tustin Quadrangle (Santa Ana is in the intersection of these four
quadrangles), the City is zoned as an area where historic occurrence of liquefaction, or local geological,
geotechnical and groundwater conditions indicate a potential for permanent ground displacements (DOC
1997; 1998a; 1998b; 2001). In addition, according to Exhibit 5 of the City’s General Plan Seismic Safety
Element, the potential for liquefaction hazards ranges from very low in the northeastern portion of the
City to very high in the southwestern portion.
The proposed update to the Circulation Element would allow for development improvements on existing
roadways, railways, and pedestrian and bike paths. These future developments would be subject to
project-level CEQA review and consideration of potential soil-related impacts. New developments would
also be subject to CBC standards and local building code regulations for seismic design features. Thus,
impacts to seismic ground failure due to the update of the Circulation Element would be less than
significant.
April 2014
Page 47
CITY OF SANTA ANA
iv) Landslides?
No Impact. Landslides occur when sloped ground becomes unstable and falls downward. They can be
caused by seismic activities, heavy rainfall, or other ground stressors. The City is relatively flat and there
are no significant slopes or hills in the vicinity of future development sites. Thus, Santa Ana has low
vulnerability for landslide, mudslide, or rock fall events induced by seismic activity or excessive rainfall.
Additionally, future projects would be required to comply with CBC standards as previously stated.
Therefore, the Circulation Element update itself would have no impact on exposing people or structures
to adverse effects involving landslides.
b) Result in substantial soil erosion or the loss of topsoil?
Less Than Significant Impact. Erosion occurs when soil is exposed to wind and/or water. In developed
areas like Santa Ana it can happen in areas undergoing construction where vegetation, pavement, or buildings
have been removed. Construction-related ground-disturbing activities like grading and excavating can
aggravate soil erosion. However, due to the fact that the City is essentially built out and located on primarily
flat lands, soil erosion is not a major issue. Transportation improvements in accordance with the proposed
Circulation Element would also primarily occur in developed areas within existing rights-of-way.
Development improvements pursuant to the Circulation Element update may involve construction of new
and expanded roadways, railways and transit facilities, and pedestrian and bike paths. All demolition and
construction activities within the City would be required to comply with applicable local, state, and federal
laws. These include regulations in CBC Chapter 70 standards related to appropriate measures to minimize soil
erosion from grading activities, the State Water Resources Control Board (SWRCB)’s General Construction
Activity Stormwater Permit and related best management practices (BMPs), and the Regional Water Quality
Control Board (RWQCB) Water Quality Control Plan. By complying with these regulations, soil erosion
impacts from new developments under the proposed project would be less than significant and will not be
further analyzed in the EIR.
Furthermore, new transportation facilities on sites larger than 1.0 acre are required to comply with the
National Pollution Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) program’s General Construction Permit (GCP)
requirements, which include development and implementation of a Storm Water Pollution Prevention Plan
(SWPPP). SWPPPs also require the design and implementation of BMPs, which would ensure discharge of
pollutants from project sites be reduced to the minimum amount as to not cause or contribute to an
exceedance of water quality standards. BMPs that can prevent or minimize impacts on soil erosion include
practices such as, sediment control, stabilizing slopes, and minimizing soil disturbance.
Future projects in accordance with the Circulation Element would be required to adhere to these federal and
local regulations. Thus, the proposed project would result in less than significant impacts relating to soil
erosion or the loss of topsoil.
Page 48
PlaceWorks
CITY OF SANTA ANA
c) Be located on a geologic unit or soil that is unstable, or that would become unstable as a result
of the project, and potentially result in on- or off-site landslide, lateral spreading, subsidence,
liquefaction, or collapse?
Less Than Significant Impact. The seismic hazard zones maps created by the California Department of
Conservation, Division of Mines and Geology, indicate that portions of the City of Santa Ana are susceptible
to unstable soil conditions, such as landslides, lateral spreading, subsidence, liquefaction, or collapse (DOC
1997; 1998a; 1998b; 2001). The construction of new and expanded transportation facilities pursuant to the
proposed Circulation Element update may occur in areas susceptible to these soil conditions. However, any
future development that occurs in accordance with the Circulation Element would be subject to CEQA
review, consideration of potential soil-related impacts, and any necessary improvements to ensure long-term
geotechnical stability. New developments and infrastructure improvements would also be required to comply
with CBC standards that outline construction, earthwork, and foundation preparation features to maintain
soil stability and integrity. By complying with these requirements on a project-by-project basis, unstable soils
or geologic units would be protected, and impacts from the proposed project would be less than significant.
d) Be located on expansive soil, as defined in Table 18-1-B of the Uniform Building Code (1994),
creating substantial risks to life or property?
Less Than Significant Impact. Expansive soils may be present within the City of Santa Ana. Development
of new infrastructure and facilities improving existing roadways, railways, and pedestrian and bike paths
pursuant to the Circulation Element update may be proposed on expansive soils. However, most of the
improvements would be within existing rights-of-way, and all future improvement projects would be subject
to the City’s environmental review and CBC standards. Geotechnical studies may also be required to ensure
long-term geotechnical stability on a project-specific level. Thus, impacts related to expansive soils are less
than significant.
e) Have soils incapable of adequately supporting the use of septic tanks or alternative waste water
disposal systems where sewers are not available for the disposal of waste water?
No Impact. The proposed update to the Circulation Element would allow for the improvement of
transportation facilities and infrastructure. Septic tanks or alternative water disposal systems are not required
for these types of development improvements. No impacts would occur.
3.7
GREENHOUSE GAS EMISSIONS
Scientists have concluded that human activities are contributing to global climate change by adding large
amounts of heat-trapping gases, known as greenhouse gases (GHG) emissions, into the atmosphere. The
primary source of these GHG emissions is fossil fuel use. The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change
(IPCC) has identified four major GHG emissions—water vapor, carbon dioxide (CO2), methane (CH4), and
ozone (O3)—that are the likely cause of an increase in global average temperatures observed in the 20th and
21st centuries. Other GHG identified by the IPCC that contribute to global warming to a lesser extent
include nitrous oxide (N2O), sulfur hexafluoride (SF6), hydrofluorocarbons, perfluorocarbons, and
chlorofluorocarbons.
April 2014

CITY OF SANTA ANA
a) Generate greenhouse gas emissions, either directly or indirectly, that may have a significant
impact on the environment?
Less Than Significant Impact. The proposed Circulation Element update outlines various transportation
strategies and roadway and transportation-related infrastructure improvements. It is anticipated that these
circulation strategies and improvements would reduce overall vehicle miles traveled and thereby reduce Citywide GHG emissions. Therefore, the proposed project would result in a beneficial impact, and impacts
related to GHG emissions would be less than significant. This topic, however, will be analyzed in the EIR,
and GHG emissions will be quantified to give information to the public and decisions makers regarding the
anticipated potential GHG benefits and to assist in the evaluation of project alternatives to the proposed
project.
b) Conflict with an applicable plan, policy, or regulation adopted for the purpose of reducing the
emissions of greenhouse gases?
No Impact. The following state and regional GHG reduction plans have been adopted:
CARB 2008 Scoping Plan
The California Air Resources Board’s (CARB) Scoping Plan is California’s strategy to achieve the state’s GHG
emissions reduction target established by AB 32, which is 1990 levels by year 2020. To estimate the reductions
necessary, CARB projected statewide 2020 business-as-usual (BAU) GHG emissions and identified that the
state as a whole would be required to reduce GHG emissions by 28.5 percent from year 2020 BAU to achieve
the targets of AB 32 (CARB 2008). Since release of the 2008 Scoping Plan, CARB has updated the 2020
GHG BAU forecast to reflect GHG emissions in light of the economic downturn and measures not
previously considered within the 2008 Scoping Plan baseline inventory. The revised BAU 2020 forecast shows
that the state would have to reduce GHG emissions by 21.6 percent from BAU without Pavley and the
33 percent RPS or 15.7 percent from the adjusted baseline (i.e. with Pavley and 33 percent RPS) (CARB
2012). Statewide strategies to reduce GHG emissions include the Low Carbon Fuel Standard (LCFS), 1
California Appliance Energy Efficiency regulations, California Renewable Energy Portfolio standard, changes
in the corporate average fuel economy (CAFE) standards, and other early action measures would ensure the
state is on target to achieve the GHG emissions reduction goals of AB 32. In addition, new buildings
constructed are required to comply with the Building and Energy Efficiency Standards and California Green
Building Code (CALGreen).
Southern California Association of Government’s 2012 Regional Transportation Plan/Sustainable
Communities Strategy
In addition to AB 32, the California legislature passed Senate Bill 375 (SB 375) to connect regional
transportation planning to land use decisions made at a local level. SB 375 requires the metropolitan planning
1 On December 29, 2011, the US District Court for the Eastern District of California issued several rulings in the federal lawsuits
challenging the LCFS. One of the court’s rulings preliminarily enjoins the CARB from enforcing the regulation during the pendency
of the litigation. In January 2012, CARB appealed the decision and on April 23, 2012, the Ninth Circuit Court granted CARB’s
motion for a stay of the injunction while it continues to consider CARB’s appeal of the lower court’s decision. In a separate case, on
July 15, 2013, the State of California Court of Appeal, Fifth Appellate District issued its opinion in POET, LLC v. California Air
Resources Board. The Court held that the LCFS would remain in effect and that the CARB can continue to implement and enforce
the 2013 regulatory standards while it corrects certain aspects of the procedures by which the LCFS was originally adopted.

CITY OF SANTA ANA
organizations to prepare a Sustainable Communities Strategy (SCS) in their regional transportation plans to
achieve the per capita GHG reduction targets. The SCS does not require that local general plans, specific
plans, or zoning be consistent with the SCS, but provides incentives for consistency for governments and
developers.
Southern California Association of Governments adopted its 2012 Regional Transportation Plan (RTP)/SCS
on April 4, 2012, pursuant to the requirements of SB 375. SCAG’s RTP/SCS is a regional growth
management strategy that targets per capita GHG reduction from passenger vehicles and light duty trucks in
the Southern California region. The 2012 RTP/SCS incorporates local land use projections and circulation
networks in the cities’ and counties’ general plans. The projected regional development pattern—including
location of land uses and residential densities in local general plans—when integrated with the proposed
regional transportation network in the 2012 RTP/SCS, would reduce per capita vehicular travel-related GHG
emissions and achieve the subregional GHG reduction per capita targets for the SCAG region.
The proposed Circulation Element update is a policy-level document that would not result in changes to land
uses in the adopted General Plan. Thus, the proposed project would not result in development and
generation of new land uses and vehicle trips that would generate new sources of GHG emissions.
Components of the proposed Circulation Element update such as the Bikeway Master Plan, Pedestrian
Opportunity Area Plan, implementation of a fixed-guideway/streetcar system, BRT routes, and increased bus
service on high-demand transit corridors, and incorporation of Complete Street principles would contribute
to reducing VMT and would be consistent with the intent of SCAG’s 2012 RTP/SCS. Therefore, the
proposed project would not have the potential to interfere with the State of California’s ability to achieve
GHG reduction goals and strategies. No impact would occur.
3.8
HAZARDS AND HAZARDOUS MATERIALS
a) Create a significant hazard to the public or the environment through the routine transport, use,
or disposal of hazardous materials?
Less Than Significant Impact. The proposed update to the Circulation Element would allow for the
expansion of existing transportation facilities and/or the construction of new facilities. Reconstruction
projects pursuant to the Circulation Element update may involve the removal of existing transportation
facilities and soil during construction that may contain hazardous materials or substances. Individual
improvement projects, however, would be subject to CEQA review and regulatory requirements. For
example, all new development projects that may handle hazardous materials would be required to comply
with regulations established by the EPA, State, Orange County, and City of Santa Ana. Both federal and state
governments require all projects that handle a specified amount of hazardous materials to submit a plan that
details the types of hazardous materials handled, appropriate emergency response plans and procedures,
locations of local emergency medical assistance, and training programs for personnel (California Health and
Safety Code, Chapter 6.95, Article 1, Sections 25500–25520). Therefore, impacts related to the routine
transport, use, or disposal of hazardous materials would be less than significant.
April 2014
Page 51
CITY OF SANTA ANA
b) Create a significant hazard to the public or the environment through reasonably foreseeable
upset and accident conditions involving the release of hazardous materials into the
environment?
Less Than Significant Impact. See response to Section 3.8(a).
The Orange County Fire Authority (OCFA) is authorized to administer and enforce rules and regulations
regarding hazardous materials and cleanup requirements. Effective July 1, 2013, the Orange County
Environmental Health Agency, Certified Unified Program Agency (OCCUPA) manages the Hazardous
Materials Disclosure, Business Emergency Plan, and California Accidental Release Prevention programs that
were previously managed by OCFA (OCFA 2013). Therefore, future developments would be required to
coordinate with the OCCUPA regarding hazardous materials disclosure requirements. Impacts would be less
than significant.
c) Emit hazardous emissions or handle hazardous or acutely hazardous materials, substances, or
waste within one-quarter mile of an existing or proposed school?
Less Than Significant Impact. The construction of new and/or expanded transportation infrastructure
and facilities pursuant to the proposed update to the Circulation Element would require the use of heavy
construction equipment that can emit potentially hazardous emissions within a quarter mile of existing or
future school sites. However, the proposed project itself would not directly emit hazardous emissions and
would not involve the handling of hazardous or acutely hazardous materials. Future projects in accordance
with the Circulation Element would be subject to CEQA review as well as compliance with regulatory
requirements such as environmental site assessments and health risk assessments. Impacts associated with
hazardous materials due to the proposed Circulation Element update would be less than significant.
d) Be located on a site which is included on a list of hazardous materials sites compiled pursuant to
Government Code Section 65962.5 and, as a result, would it create a significant hazard to the
public or the environment?
Less Than Significant Impact. There are a number of hazardous materials sites throughout the City, some
of which may be near or part of existing transportation infrastructure and facilities (SWRCB 2013). Future
improvement projects pursuant to the proposed Circulation Element may require disturbance of sites that are
listed on a hazardous materials list. However, future development projects would be subject to the City’s
environmental review and may require environmental site assessments and associated mitigation measures if
the site is near or part of an existing hazardous materials site. The proposed Circulation Element update itself
would not create a significant hazard to the public or environment as a policy-based document. Thus, impacts
would be less than significant.

CITY OF SANTA ANA
e) For a project located within an airport land use plan or, where such a plan has not been adopted,
within two miles or a public airport or public use airport, would the project result in a safety
hazard for people residing or working in the project area?
Less Than Significant Impact. The nearest public use airport is John Wayne Airport, which borders the
City of Santa Ana on the south. Portions of the City are in the airport’s land use plan and impact zones (OC
ALUC 2008). However, the proposed project would involve the implementation of circulation improvements
within existing rights-of-way and would not cause an increase in population to the area within the John Wayne
Airport Land Use Plan as compared to existing conditions. Therefore, the implementation of the proposed
Circulation Element update would not increase the exposure of people to airport safety hazards, and impacts
related to public use airports would be less than significant.
f) For a project within the vicinity of a private airstrip, would the project result in a safety hazard
for people residing or working in the project area?
No Impact. Within the City of Santa Ana, there are no private airstrips. However, there are five private
heliports: Orange County Sheriffs Forensics Laboratory Heliport; Honda of Santa Ana Heliport; Southern
California Edison Southeastern Division Heliport; and Western Medical Center Santa Ana Heliport (AirNav
2013). The proposed project would involve the implementation of circulation improvements within existing
rights-of-way and would not directly add additional people to the area. No impacts related to private airports
or heliports would occur.
g) Impair implementation of or physically interfere with an adopted emergency response plan or
emergency evacuation plan?
Less Than Significant Impact. The City of Santa Ana has a Natural Hazard Mitigation Plan that provides
City officials and residents with information about how to plan for and recover from emergency situations
(e.g. earthquakes, earth movements, flooding, and wind storms) (Santa Ana 2007). Emergency evacuations
would require use of roadways and freeways and access to emergency response stations. The proposed update
to the Circulation Element would allow for improvements to the existing circulation system in order to
improve overall multimodal transportation routes in the long term. Potential construction-related impacts,
including emergency plan interference, would be assessed for future improvements pursuant to the
Circulation Element. Construction traffic control plans would be required to mitigate any potential
interference with emergency plans. Thus, impacts related to the interference with an emergency response plan
are less than significant.
h) Expose people or structures to a significant risk of loss, injury, or death involving wildland fires,
including where wildlands are adjacent to urbanized areas or where residences are intermixed
with wildlands?
No Impact. There are no wildland fire areas or wildland urban edges designated within the City of Santa
Ana or any of its neighboring cities (CAL FIRE 2007). The proposed project would not expose people or
structures to any wildland fire hazards. This topic will not be addressed in the EIR.

3.9
HYDROLOGY AND WATER QUALITY
a) Violate any water quality standards or waste discharge requirements?
Less Than Significant Impact. The proposed update to the Santa Ana Circulation Element would allow for
improvements to be made to the existing circulation system. As these potential improvements are developed,
wastewater would be discharged into the local sewer system, and onsite drainage would flow into the City’s
existing storm drain system. As part of Section 402 of the Clean Water Act, the US Environmental
Protection Agency (EPA) has established regulations under the National Pollution Discharge Elimination
System program to control direct stormwater discharges. Future development would be required to comply
with the NPDES program and the standards under the Santa Ana RWQCB. Additionally, through the City’s
development review process, future projects would be evaluated for potential water quality impacts. Where
needed, future development projects would be required to prepare water quality plans and/or incorporate
BMPs into their construction operations to reduce potential water quality impacts. Impacts to water quality
due to the Circulation Element update would be less than significant.
b) Substantially deplete groundwater supplies or interfere substantially with groundwater recharge
such that there would be a net deficit in aquifer volume or a lowering of the local groundwater
table level (e.g. the production rate of pre-existing nearby wells would drop to a level which
would not support existing land uses or planned uses for which permits have been granted)?
No Impact. The proposed Circulation Element update would update the existing policy document and
would allow for improvements to be made to the existing circulation system. Streets and highways within the
transportation network do not require groundwater supply to maintain operations, with the exception of
landscaping and parkway irrigation. Future expansions to roadways, pedestrian paths, and bikeways could
increase the amount of landscaping and related irrigation needs, which would be served by the City’s water
supply. However, landscaping projects would be required to comply with water-efficient landscape standards
pursuant to Part II, Chapter 41 (Zoning), Article XVI (Water Efficient Landscape Standards) of the City’s
municipal code. Therefore, the groundwater table would not lower as a result of the proposed project, and no
impact would occur.
c) Substantially alter the existing drainage pattern of the site or area, including through the
alteration of the course of a stream or river, in a manner which would result in a substantial
erosion or siltation on- or off-site.
Less Than Significant Impact. The proposed Circulation Element update would allow for improvements
to be made to the City’s existing transportation networks, including roadways, railways, and pedestrian and
bike paths. Most improvements would be made within existing rights-of-way, where these networks and
existing drainage systems have already been well established. Therefore, future improvements consistent with
the Circulation Element update would not alter existing drainage patterns. Future roadway widening or
intersection improvements may require construction of new curbs, gutters, and other drainage improvements.
However, Part II, Chapter 7, Article V (Public Works Management Standards), of the City’s municipal code
requires all future development projects to have adequate drainage plans to reduce exposure to flood hazards.
Page 54
PlaceWorks
CITY OF SANTA ANA
Furthermore, future improvements to the City’s storm drainage facilities would be funded through permit
fees per the City’s municipal code Part II, Chapter 18, Article IV, Section 18-159 (Permits). Additionally,
through the City’s development review process, future projects would be evaluated for potential storm
drainage impacts. Thus, impacts related to existing drainage patterns are less than significant.
d) Substantially alter the existing drainage pattern of the site or area, including through the
alteration of the course of a stream or river, or substantially increase the rate or amount of
surface runoff in a manner which would result in flooding on- or off-site?
Less Than Significant Impact. See response to Section 3.9(c).
e) Create or contribute runoff water which would exceed the capacity of existing or planned storm
water drainage systems or provide substantial additional sources of polluted runoff?
Less Than Significant Impact. The majority of the City is built out, and stormwater drainage systems are
already in place. The Circulation Element update would not directly modify land uses; however, development
in accordance to the Circulation Element could potentially change the amount of impervious surface areas
and resultant runoff and discharge of sediments and pollutants to stormwater drainage systems. This change,
however, would be nominal in comparison to existing development and would be subject to compliance with
regulatory requirements. Therefore, any future development would likely have a less than significant impact
with regard to surface runoff. Additionally, future development would be subject to CEQA review and would
comply with the City and NPDES regulations regarding stormwater pollution prevention measures during
construction and operation. Therefore, impacts from runoff water due to the Circulation Element update
f) Otherwise substantially degrade water quality?
Less Than Significant Impact. The proposed Circulation Element update is a policy-based document that
would allow for improvements to be made to the City’s existing transportation networks, including roadways,
railways, and pedestrian and bike paths. Construction activities of expanded roadways, new bicycle lanes,
and/or pedestrian paths have the potential to degrade water quality through an increase in urban runoff.
However, future projects would be evaluated on an individual basis for their potential to degrade water
quality, and all projects must comply with any applicable water quality standards and regulations. Thus,
impacts related to water quality due to the Circulation Element update would be less than significant.
g) Place housing within a 100-year flood hazard area as mapped on a federal Flood Hazard
Boundary or Flood Insurance Rate Map or other flood hazard delineation map?
No Impact. The Circulation Element update does not involve any housing development. Thus, no impacts
related to housing within the 100-year flood zone would occur.
April 2014
Page 55
CITY OF SANTA ANA
h) Place within a 100-year flood hazard area structures which would impede or redirect flood flows?
No Impact. The proposed Circulation Element update is a policy document that allows for improvements to
the existing circulation system; therefore, it would not involve the construction of housing or other land uses.
No impact would occur.
i) Expose people or structures to a significant risk of loss, injury, or death involving flooding,
including flooding as a result of the failure of a levee or dam?
No Impact. The proposed Circulation Element update is a policy document for improvements to the
existing circulation system; it would not involve the construction of housing or other land uses. Future
improvements consistent with the proposed project would only entail modifications to existing transportation
structures or facilities, which would not introduce people or structures to levee or dam failures. Furthermore,
the City of Santa Ana has an Emergency Response Plan that addresses flooding in the event of levee or dam
failure. Any future development would comply with the City’s building standards to reduce the risk of
structural damage due to flooding. Therefore, the proposed Circulation Element update would have no
impact on exposing people and structures to flooding in the City.
j)
Inundation by seiche, tsunami, or mudflow?
No Impact. A seiche is a surface wave created when a body of water is shaken, usually by earthquake activity.
Seiches are of concern relative to water storage facilities because inundation from a seiche can occur if the
wave overflows a containment wall, such as the wall of a reservoir, water storage tank, dam or other artificial
body of water. There are no large artificial bodies of water in the City, thus impacts related to seiches are less
than significant. Tsunamis are large ocean waves generated by off-shore earthquakes or tectonic movement.
Since Santa Ana is approximately five miles from the coast, it is not in a tsunami hazard zone. No impacts
related to tsunamis would occur. Mudflows occur on hillsides, or other areas with inclines, where unvegetated
and undeveloped surfaces are exposed to high rainfalls, which can cause instability in the soil. Santa Ana is
almost entirely flat and developed. Improvements made pursuant to the Circulation Element would mostly
take place within existing rights-of-way in flat, built-out areas. Soil may be exposed temporarily during
construction, but the potential for substantial mudflows to occur is not significant. No impacts would occur.
3.10 LAND USE AND PLANNING
a) Physically divide an established community?
Less Than Significant Impact. The development improvements constructed under the proposed update to
the Circulation Element would occur within existing rights-of-way or in areas with established communities.
The proposed Circulation Element would not introduce any new roadway, bike or pedestrian path, or transit
route that would divide existing communities. Implementation of proposed Circulation Element is intended
to enhance multimodal connectivity within the City’s many diverse communities. Impacts related to
established communities would be less than significant.
Page 56
PlaceWorks
CITY OF SANTA ANA
b) Conflict with any applicable land use plan, policy, or regulation of an agency with jurisdiction
over the project (including, but not limited to the general plan, specific plan, local coastal
program, or zoning ordinance) adopted for the purpose of avoiding or mitigating an
environmental effect?
Potentially Significant Impact. Future transportation improvements in accordance with the Circulation
Element update must be consistent with OCTA’s Master Plan of Arterial Highways. To be consistent, the City
must maintain an equivalent number of minimum through lanes on each arterial highway shown on the
MPAH. Thus, the proposed project must be reviewed and approved by OCTA in order to process an MPAH
amendment and be considered consistent with the county’s MPAH. Impacts are potentially significant and
will be further evaluated in the EIR.
c) Conflict with any applicable habitat conservation plan or natural community conservation plan?
No Impact. As discussed in Section 3.4, Biological Resources, the Orange County NCCP does not cover Santa
Ana. There are no HCPs or NCCPs in the City. No impacts related to HCPs or NCCPs would occur.
3.11 MINERAL RESOURCES
a) Result in the loss of availability of a known mineral resource that would be a value to the region
and the residents of the state?
No Impact. The City of Santa Ana is almost entirely built out; there are no mineral extraction activities in
the City and little potential for the existing land uses to be transformed into future mineral extraction land
uses. In addition, development improvements pursuant to the proposed Circulation Element update would be
constructed within existing rights-of-way and in already developed areas; land use changes would not occur as
a result of the proposed project. No impacts to mineral resources would occur.
b) Result in the loss of availability of a locally important mineral resource recovery site delineated
on a local general plan, specific plan or other land use plan?
No Impact. See response to Section 3.11 (a).
Since there are no mineral extraction activities in the City, no impact would occur to mineral resources as a
result of implementing the proposed project.
3.12 NOISE
a) Exposure of persons to or generation of noise levels in excess of standards established in the
local general plan or noise ordinance, or applicable standards of other agencies?
Potentially Significant Impact. The proposed project would update the goals and policies of the
Circulation Element and create a vision for the transportation network to allow the alteration of existing
roadways, pedestrian and bike paths, and to identify opportunities and constrains for the implementation of
new transit facilities. Implementation of these changes may result in a temporary, periodic, or permanent
April 2014
Page 57
CITY OF SANTA ANA
increase in ambient noise in excess of standards established in Santa Ana’s noise regulations. New transit
facilities and changes in the transportation network, such as road widening, road diets, grade separations, and
roadway extensions, have the potential to result in long-term noise increases at uses along roadways.
Therefore, implementation of the Circulation Element would potentially result in significant impacts related
to noise. Issues relating to noise will be evaluated in the EIR.
b) Exposure of persons to or generation of excessive groundborne vibration or groundborne noise
levels?
Potentially Significant Impact. Development in accordance with the proposed update to the Circulation
Element may involve alteration to existing and construction of circulation infrastructure such as road
widening, road extensions, grade separation projects and transit facilities, which may result in excessive
groundborne vibration or groundborne noise levels during construction and operation of these facilities.
Impacts are potentially significant, and vibration will be evaluated in the EIR to identify the major sources of
vibration and potentially affected areas during construction and long-term operation of the proposed
facilities and modification of circulation infrastructure.
c) A substantial permanent increase in ambient noise levels in the project vicinity above levels
existing without the project?
Potentially Significant Impact. As discussed in response a) above, development pursuant to
implementation of the Santa Ana Circulation Element may result in a permanent increase in ambient noise
above existing levels due to alterations of traffic patterns related to changes to the circulation infrastructure,
and new transit facilities. The applicable noise regulations for construction activities will be used to evaluate
noise from construction activities. A noise analysis will be conducted, and the EIR will evaluate the proposed
project’s potentially significant impact on ambient noise levels.
d) A substantial temporary or periodic increase in ambient noise levels in the project vicinity above
levels existing without the project?
Potentially Significant Impact. Development pursuant to implementation of the Santa Ana Circulation
Element would require construction activities associated with infrastructure improvements. A temporary or
periodic increase in ambient noise above levels existing may result. Therefore, potentially significant impacts
to ambient noise levels may occur. A noise analysis will be conducted, and the EIR will evaluate the proposed
project’s potentially significant impact on ambient noise levels.
e) For a project located within an airport land use plan or, where such a plan has not been adopted,
within two miles of a public airport or public use airport, would the project expose people
residing or working in the project area to excessive noise levels?
No Impact. The nearest public use airport is the Orange County John Wayne Airport, which borders the
City of Santa Ana on the south. Portions of the City are in the airport’s land use plan and impact zones (OC
ALUC 2008). However, the proposed project would involve the implementation of circulation improvements
and would not cause an increase in population to the area within the airport land use plan when compared to
Page 58
PlaceWorks
CITY OF SANTA ANA
existing conditions. No impacts related to the project from excessive noise levels and public airports would
occur.
f) For a project within the vicinity of a private airstrip, would the project expose people residing or
working in the project area to excessive noise levels?
No Impact. Within the City of Santa Ana, there are no private airstrips but five private heliports: Orange
County Sheriffs Forensics Laboratory Heliport; Honda of Santa Ana Heliport; Southern California Edison
Southeastern Division Heliport; and Western Medical Center Santa Ana Heliport (AirNav 2013). However,
the proposed project would involve the implementation of circulation improvements and would not directly
add additional people to the area. No impacts related to excessive noise levels and private airports or heliports
would occur.
3.13 POPULATION AND HOUSING
a) Induce substantial population growth in an area, either directly (for example, by proposing new
homes and businesses) or indirectly (for example, through extension of roads or other
infrastructure)?
Less Than Significant Impact. Roadway reclassifications and associated improvements would facilitate
efficient multimodal transportation, including enhanced transit, bicycle, and pedestrian travel to accommodate
existing and future City demands. However, the proposed Circulation Element does not include any changes
to designated land uses and therefore would not result in the introduction of new homes or businesses. In
addition, the proposed Master Plan of Streets and Highways does not include new or extended roadways.
Thus, the improved transportation system would not directly or indirectly induce substantial population
growth. Impact would be less than significant.
b) Displace substantial numbers of existing housing, necessitating the construction of replacement
housing elsewhere?
No Impact. With limited exception, transportation improvements in accordance with the proposed
Circulation Element would not require increasing existing rights-of-way. No existing housing is located within
these areas, and no housing would be displaced. Thus, no impact would occur, and this issue will not be
addressed in the EIR.
c) Displace substantial numbers of people, necessitating the construction of replacement housing
elsewhere?
No Impact Implementation of the proposed Circulation Element would not result in the displacement of
structures or people. No impact would occur, and this topic will not be addressed in the EIR.
3.14 PUBLIC SERVICES
Would the project result in substantial adverse physical impacts associated with the provision of new or
physically altered governmental facilities, need for new or physically altered governmental facilities, the
April 2014
Page 59
CITY OF SANTA ANA
construction of which could cause significant environmental impacts, in order to maintain acceptable service
ratios, response times or other performance objectives for any of the public services:
a) Fire protection?
No Impact. The proposed project would allow for improvements to enhance multimodal transportation
networks within the City of Santa Ana. The project would not introduce new structures or residents that may
increase demand for fire services. Thus, the Circulation Element update would have no impact on fire
protection services.
b) Police protection?
No Impact. The development improvements consistent with the Circulation Element update do not include
the construction of residences or other buildings and do not directly create a need for additional police
services. Therefore, no impacts would occur.
c) Schools?
No Impact. Future transportation improvements consistent with the Circulation Element update do not
include residential development and do not directly create a need for additional school services. Existing
school services would not be affected by implementation of the improvements to roadway, transit, bikeway,
and pedestrian path systems. No impacts would occur.
d) Parks?
No Impact. The proposed update to the Circulation Element would include policy changes and
modifications to the existing circulation system in the City; however, it would not involve the construction of
new homes that may increase the City’s population. Therefore, park and recreational facilities demands would
not be impacted by the proposed project.
e) Other public facilities?
No Impact. The development improvements allowed under the proposed Circulation Element do not
include residential development and do not directly create a need for additional public facilities. In addition,
since the City is almost entirely built out, the roadway and traffic improvements would not indirectly spur
urban development because of the lack of undeveloped space. No impact would occur.
3.15 RECREATION
a) Would the project increase the use of existing neighborhood and regional parks or other
recreational facilities, such that substantial physical deterioration of the facility would occur or
be accelerated?
No Impact. See response to Section 3.14 (d).
Page 60
PlaceWorks
CITY OF SANTA ANA
The proposed Circulation Element would not result in the increased use of existing recreational facilities
since the proposed project focuses primarily on safe and efficient multimodal transportation improvements
within the City. Furthermore, the Circulation Element update does not alter any land uses that would result in
population growth.
Future roadway improvement may temporarily or permanently alter access to existing parks and recreational
facilities; however, street improvements would not lead to closure of any parks or recreational facilities. Thus,
the proposed project would have no impact on existing recreational facilities.
b) Does the project include recreational facilities or require the construction or expansion of
recreational facilities, which might have an adverse physical effect on the environment?
No Impact. The development improvements allowed under the proposed Circulation Element would not
involve the construction or expansion of recreational facilities. Transportation improvements would occur
within existing rights-of-way and would be subject to project-level CEQA review to adequately evaluate
environmental impacts. Thus, the Circulation Element itself would not require new or expanded recreational
facilities and would have no impact.
3.16 TRANSPORTATION/TRAFFIC
a) Conflict with an applicable plan, ordinance or policy establishing measures of effectiveness for
the performance of the circulation system, taking into account all modes of transportation
including mass transit and non-motorized travel and relevant components of the circulation
system, including but not limited to intersections, streets, highways and freeways, pedestrian
and bicycle paths, and mass transit?
Potentially Significant Impact. The proposed project would update the goals and policies of the City’s
Circulation Element. The updated Circulation Element would serve as a blueprint for the City’s long-range
transportation planning and would support the implementation of several projects, road diet, reclassification
of roads, complete street enhancements, grade separation, limited street widening, and mass transit projects.
Several transit projects, such as fixed guideway systems and BRT routes, are being considered for
implementation. A transportation impact report will be prepared by a transportation planning consultant (IBI
Group) to review and evaluate the existing and future traffic conditions under the current Circulation
Element and with the proposed Circulation Element update. The transportation and traffic section of the
EIR will evaluate the performance of the transportation system with implementation of the proposed
Circulation Element according to applicable City and Orange County CMP regulations. Impacts are
potentially significant.
b) Conflict with an applicable congestion management program, including, but not limited to level
of service standards and travel demand measures, or other standards established by the county
congestion management agency for designated roads or highways?
Potentially Significant Impact. The 2011 Orange County Congestion Management Program (CMP)
analyzes roadway segments and intersections within the City of Santa Ana. Portions of roadway segments of
April 2014
Page 61
CITY OF SANTA ANA
Harbor Boulevard, First Street, and Edinger Avenue, and seven intersections along these roads are designated
CMP facilities (OCTA 2011). In addition, a number of additional segments and intersections lie just outside
the City border and could be affected by changes to the City’s traffic patterns. The proposed Circulation
Element update would allow for policy changes and infrastructure improvements that may affect the
performance of CMP roadways. Impacts are potentially significant and will be addressed in the EIR.
c) Result in a change in air traffic patterns, including either an increase in traffic levels or a change
in location that results in substantial safety risks?
No Impact. The only public airport near the City is Orange County John Wayne Airport, which lies just
south of the City. Infrastructure improvements pursuant to the proposed updated Circulation Element would
mostly occur within existing rights-of-way and would not include housing or other buildings. Changes to air
traffic patterns would not occur. Therefore, development would not result in an increase in air traffic patterns
or safety risk; no impacts would occur.
d) Substantially increase hazards due to a design feature (e.g. sharp curves or dangerous
intersections) or incompatible uses (e.g. farm equipment)?
No Impact. The proposed Circulation Element is a program-level document. It would not alter the projectspecific design and engineering requirements related to subsequent improvement projects. Subsequent design
and safety review would occur at the project-level. No impact would occur, and this topic will not be included
in the EIR.
e) Result in inadequate emergency access?
Potentially Significant Impact. The proposed Circulation Element would allow for policy changes and
alterations to the circulation system. These changes could adversely affect circulation patterns and emergency
access routes. The transportation and traffic section of the EIR will evaluate the performance of the
transportation system with implementation of the proposed Circulation Element. Impacts related to
emergency access are potentially significant and will be addressed in the EIR.
f) Conflict with adopted policies, plans, or programs regarding public transit, bicycle, or pedestrian
facilities, or otherwise decrease the performance or safety of such facilities?
Less Than Significant Impact. General plans of California cities and counties are required under the
Complete Streets Act to include planning for complete streets: that is, streets that meet the needs of all users
of the roadway, including pedestrians, bicyclists, users of public transit, motorists, children, the elderly, and
the disabled. The Circulation Element includes alternative transportation routes and systems, including
transit, bicycle systems, and trails. The City of Santa Ana is currently preparing a Bicycle Master Plan and
Pedestrian Master Plan in conjunction with the updated Circulation Element to implement a comprehensive
bicycle and pedestrian network for the City of Santa Ana. The proposed Circulation Element update,
therefore, would ensure that the City complies with the Complete Streets Act by providing safe and efficient
multimodal transportation for its residents. Thus, the proposed project would not conflict with any plans or
programs that may decrease safety performances. Impacts would be less than significant.
Page 62

CITY OF SANTA ANA
3.17 UTILITIES AND SERVICE SYSTEMS
a) Exceed waste water treatment requirements of the applicable Regional Water Quality Control
Board?
Less Than Significant Impact. The proposed update to the Santa Ana Circulation Element would allow for
improvements to the existing circulation system, which may affect water quality in the City. Although
transportation improvement projects in accordance with the proposed project would not generate wastewater
that would be treated by a wastewater treatment plant, stormwater runoff may be generated by construction
activities that may exceed Santa Ana RWQCB water quality standards. Any improvements made to the
existing roadways would also involve temporary construction and ground-disturbing activities. However, the
Construction General Permit issued by the RWQCB (Order 2009-0009-DWQ) regulates activities of projects
that disturb one or more acres of soil or projects that disturb less than one acre but are part of a larger
common plan of development that in total disturbs one acre or more. Therefore, construction projects
pursuant to the proposed Circulation Element update would be required to reduce urban runoff and
maintain a water quality standard set by Santa Ana RWQCB in order to obtain a Construction General Permit
prior to construction. Part II, Chapter 18, Article IV (Water Pollution), of the City’s municipal code also
enforces the federal requirements for the control of urban pollutants to stormwater runoff entering storm
drains.
Additionally, through the City’s development review process, future projects’ potential wastewater and water
quality impacts would be evaluated on a project-specific level. Any roadway or intersection expansions would
be required to water quality plans and/or incorporate BMPs into their construction operations to reduce
potential water quality impacts. Thus, water quality impacts would be less than significant.
b) Require or result in the construction of new water or waste water treatment facilities or
expansion of existing facilities, the construction of which could cause significant environmental
effects?
No Impact The proposed would not generate water or wastewater that would requirement treatment. This
impact will not be addressed in the EIR.
c) Require or result in the construction of new storm water drainage facilities or expansion of
existing facilities, the construction of which could cause significant environmental effects?
Less Than Significant Impact. Transportation improvements pursuant to the Circulation Element,
including roadway cross-section modifications, may require installation of new or upgraded stormwater
drainage facilities. Such improvements would be subject to CEQA review at the project level, including the
potential requirement for construction that could result in environmental effects. Impacts associated with
adoption of the Circulation Element are less than significant, and this impact will not be addressed in the
EIR.
April 2014
Page 63
CITY OF SANTA ANA
d) Have sufficient water supplies available to serve the project from existing entitlements and
resources, or are new or expanded entitlements needed?
Less Than Significant Impact. The proposed Circulation Element update would not include the
construction of housing or other land uses that demand water. Streets and highways within the transportation
network do not require a water supply to maintain operations, with the exception of landscaping and parkway
irrigation. Future expansions to roadways, pedestrian paths, and bikeways could increase the amount of
landscaping and related irrigation needs, which would be served by the City’s water supply. However,
landscaping projects would be required to comply with water-efficient landscape standards pursuant to
Part II, Chapter 41, Article XVI (Water Efficient Landscape Standards), of the City’s Municipal Code.
Furthermore, since the City of Santa Ana is almost entirely built out, transportation improvements would be
within existing rights-of-way and would not extend infrastructure to previously undeveloped areas, which
could indirectly increase water demand. Project impacts are less than significant.
e) Result in a determination by the waste water treatment provider, which serves or may serve the
project that it has adequate capacity to serve the project’s projected demand in addition to the
provider’s existing commitments?
No Impact. Proposed improvements pursuant to the Circulation Element update would not generate
wastewater. This impact will not be addressed in the EIR.
f) Be served by a landfill with sufficient permitted capacity to accommodate the project’s solid
waste disposal needs?
Less Than Significant Impact. The City of Santa Ana is under contract with Waste Management of Orange
County for solid waste hauling and disposal. The Circulation Element itself would not involve any
development projects and would not directly result in solid waste generation. However, future transportation
improvements consistent with the Circulation Element update may generate construction waste requiring
disposal. These improvement projects would be subject to project-level CEQA review, including an
assessment of solid waste impacts. Therefore, impacts regarding solid waste due to the proposed Circulation
Element are less than significant.
g) Comply with federal, state, and local statutes and regulations related to solid waste?
Less Than Significant Impact. Any future development would be required to comply with federal and state
laws regulating solid waste disposal, including solid waste diversion rates per Assembly Bill 939. Impacts
3.18 MANDATORY FINDINGS OF SIGNIFICANCE
a) Does the project have the potential to degrade the quality of the environment, substantially
reduce the habitat of a fish or wildlife species, cause a fish or wildlife population to drop below
self-sustaining levels, threaten to eliminate a plant or animal community, reduce the number or
Page 64
PlaceWorks
CITY OF SANTA ANA
restrict the range of a rare or endangered plant or animal or eliminate important examples of the
major periods of California history or prehistory?
Potentially Significant Impact. The proposed project is in the City of Santa Ana, which has an urban
character and is primarily built out. However, the City does have significant historical resources that may be
impacted by future transportation improvements in accordance with the proposed project. In addition, the
Santa Ana River and Santiago Creek channels are considered federally protected wetlands, and Santiago Creek
is designated as a local wildlife corridor through the City (USFWS 2013; Roach 2014). Under the proposed
update to the Circulation Element, improvements made to the Santiago Creek Bike Trail under the Bikeway
Master Plan have to potential to impact the Santiago Creek wetlands and its wildlife. Therefore, impacts to
biological and historical resources are potentially significant and will be further analyzed in the EIR.
b) Does the project have impacts that are individually limited, but cumulatively considerable?
(“Cumulatively considerable” means that the incremental effects of a project are considerable
when viewed in connection with the effects of past projects, the effects of other current projects,
and the effects of probable future projects.)
Less than Significant Impact. The proposed project is an update to the Circulation Element for the City of
Santa Ana General Plan. The Circulation Element is a policy-based document designed to assist the City in
future transportation planning. It includes goals and policies that would allow for infrastructure
improvements to existing roadways, railways, and pedestrian and bike paths. Through the City’s
environmental review process, future development projects would be evaluated for potential cumulative
impacts. Where needed, appropriate mitigation measures would be required to reduce potential impacts to a
level that is less than significant. Impacts from the proposed project, cumulatively considered, would be less
than significant.
c) Does the project have environmental effects, which will cause substantial adverse effects on
human beings, either directly or indirectly?
Less than Significant Impact. The Circulation Element is a policy-based document designed to assist the City in future
transportation planning to comply with the Complete Streets Act and ensure safe and efficient multimodal transportation for
vehicles, bicyclists, and pedestrians. It includes goals and policies to improve the existing roadway, transit, bicycle, and pedestrian
networks. Therefore, the proposed project would benefit those travelling within and through Santa Ana. In addition, future
development projects would be evaluated through the City’s environmental review process for potential adverse effects on human
beings. Where needed, appropriate mitigation measures would be required to reduce potential impacts to a level that is less than
significant. Impacts from the proposed project itself, however, would be less than significant.
