Miramar Hotel VEN U.S. 101 Punta Gorda UC/Rincon Point Drainage Culvert Report VEN U.S. 101 California Street Ramp Improvement Project La Conchita/Mussel Shoals Access Improvement Project This project would involve the demolition of all existing structures on the property and the addition of 397,925 square feet of structural development, excluding paved areas. Reconstruction would include a new restaurant, ballroom, spa, lobby, guestrooms, retail buildings, and a new beach and tennis club. This project proposes to replace the drainage culvert at the Punta Gorda undercrossing/Rincon Point. This is a SHOPP project in the project initiation phase. This locally funded project proposes to modify freeway off-ramps. This approved project proposes to construct a pedestrian under-crossing in the community of La Conchita for beach access. This would be constructed concurrent to the proposed project. 1555 South Jameson Lane, Santa Barbara, 93108 Ventura County U.S. 101 from PM 41.3 to PM 42.1 U.S. 101 from PM 29.9 to PM 30.0 Near Santa Barbara Avenue in the Community of La Conchita Chapter 3 Comments and Coordination Traffic, Air Quality, Noise, Hazardous Materials Water Quality, Air Quality, Biological, Wetlands Traffic, Air Quality, Noise, Hazardous Materials, Community Impacts, Historical, Archaeological Traffic, Air Quality, Noise, Hazardous Materials, Community Impacts, Geotechnical Source: HDR Cumulative Impacs Assessment July 2008 * Status Definitions: PP = Pre-Planning phase: The project is proposed, however environmental review has not begun. P = Programmed: Environmental review has begun on the project but is not yet approved. D = Design: Environmental review has been completed, but construction of the project has not begun. C = Construction: As of this document, project is under construction. B = Build-out: The project is fully constructed to build-out conditions. XX = Status currently unknown Environmental Consequences The following section identifies direct and indirect impacts associated with the proposed project that could contribute to a cumulative impact on the identified resources. Both BUILD alternatives impacts are similar in nature, so the discussion does not differentiate between the two proposed project alternatives. Aesthetics/Visual Resources Temporary visual impacts would result from construction activities, such as vegetation removal, equipment storage, and other changes to the existing setting. This, in conjunction with other construction projects along the U.S. 101 corridor, would disrupt the unity of the natural scenery during the construction period. However, following construction the highway corridor would remain substantially the same in appearance, and the design does not include any features that would reduce or block views to the ocean or surrounding hills. With implementation of the proposed mitigation measures identified in the visual impacts section of the document, visual impacts would be reduced to the extent feasible, and the project contribution to cumulative visual impacts would be considered less than cumulatively considerable. Air Quality Project construction would result in a temporary increase of pollutant emissions associated with construction equipment and dust; however, construction-related 188 IS/EA VEN-SB US101 HOV Project P PP PP D
Chapter 3 Comments and Coordination emissions would be minimized through standard practices to reduce emissions, and project construction is not anticipated to violate state or federal air quality standards or contribute to the existing air quality violation in the air basin. Although other construction projects could occur concurrent to the proposed project, emissions would be localized, and the same standard reduction measures would be required. Operation of the proposed project would comply with all applicable air quality plans, and be expected to improve traffic circulation in the area, which would result in improved air quality. Therefore, project contributions to cumulative air quality impacts are considered less than cumulatively considerable. Noise The planned development closest to the proposed project is the Lagunitas Mixed Use Development, located approximately 147 feet from the U.S. 101 median. Construction of the Lagunitas Mixed Use Development project is anticipated to be completed prior to the start of construction for the proposed project. Because construction activities would not be concurrent to those of the proposed project, cumulative noise impacts would not occur. No other projects would be constructed in the vicinity concurrent to the proposed project. Based on existing and future anticipated traffic levels, it was determined that operational noise increases associated with the proposed project would be less than three dBA – Leq, which is not considered to be an adverse impact. Therefore, while some other development may occur in the area, the project contribution to cumulative noise impacts is considered to be less that cumulatively considerable. Traffic and Transportation During construction of the proposed project, temporary lane closures, construction equipment, and posted reduction of speed limits may occur. This could result in traffic congestion on the mainline, local streets, and bikeways; however, these impacts would be temporary and a TMP would be developed for the project to reduce congestion and provide information to roadway users. Temporary impacts, in conjunction with other roadway projects that may be under construction, could result in additional delays; however, with implementation of the TMP the project contribution to cumulative traffic impacts is considered less than cumulatively considerable. The proposed project includes the closure of several median openings, which would restrict left turns into and out of Mussel Shoals and La Conchita and U-turns at Tank Farm. These closures would result in some additional travel time for drivers required to reroute; however, in some cases this rerouted travel time is expected to be less than the IS/EA VEN-SB US101 HOV Project 189
