PRZ-59/1623 Cindy Way 16. TRANSPORTATION/TRAFFIC Less Than Potentially Significant Less Than No Significant with Mitigation Significant Impact Impact Incorporation Impact \Would the project: a) Cause an increase in traffic which is substantial in relation to the X existing traffic load and capacity of tilt street system (i.e.,result in a substantial increase in either the number of vehicle trips,the volume to capacity ratio on roads,or congestion at intersections)? b) Ih:xcced,either individually or cumulatively,a level of service X standard established by the county congestion management agency for designated roads or highways? c)Result in a change in air traffic pant ms,including either an X increase in traffic levels or a change in location that results in substantial safety risks? d) Substantially increase hazards due m a design feature (e.g., X sharp curves or dangerous intersections)or incompatible uses (e.g.,farm equipment)? e) Result in inadequate emergency access? X f) Result in inadequate parking capacity? X gr Conflict with adopted policies,plans,or programs supporting X alternative transportation(e.g.,bus turnouts,bicycle racks)? Environmental Setting The subject site is access via Rose Avenue. Significance Criteria The impact questions above constitute the significance criteria for this environmental topic. In addition, the project would result in a significant effect if it would: • Result in a substantial increase in traffic that would cause the corridor or intersection level of service to drop during the peak hour below acceptable level of service (LOS) D, or contribute traffic to intersections where the levels of service are already below D. Discussion of Checklist Items a.-g.) The rezoning project itself would not have any impact on the existing transportation pattern; nor would the relocation of the existing home. An analysis concerning the existing and anticipated traffic patterns was prepared during the General Plan update. Under the "Existing plus Baseline Approved" scenario and "Existing plus Baseline Approved plus Rose Avenue Properties" scenario it was found that all of the studied intersections continued to operate at acceptable levels of service with the exception of Main Street/St. John-Ray Street (the General Plan allows intersections within the downtown area to exceed LOS D). The rezoning may result in the development of seven additional single-family homes, which may generate 70 trips daily. The increased number of trips due to future development would not have a significant impact on the existing transportation pattern. However, detailed analysis will be conducted when the PUD development plan is submitted and mitigations such as payment of the traffic fees and/or improvement may be required. 20 7/8/2m1
