PROPOSED PHASING OF TRANSPORTATION MITIGATION MEASURES <br /> The Transportation Assessment in the FSEIR was based on the assumption that future <br /> construction in the JDEDZ would occur in phases, with the first phase consisting of <br /> construction of the following uses on vacant parcels: <br /> • 5,000 square feet of general retail uses <br /> • 132,000 square foot hotel (231 rooms) <br /> • 148,000 square feet of club retail uses <br /> • 20 fueling position gas station <br /> Given the traffic expected to be generated by the first phase, the Transportation <br /> Assessment identified the need to construct all of the transportation mitigations prior to <br /> occupancy of the first phase. <br /> The 148,000 square feet of club retail generates approximately 78% of the first phase <br /> traffic volume. While not specifically studied in the Transportation Assessment, allowance <br /> of just the hotel prior to completion of the mitigation measure may be possible without <br /> triggering unacceptable traffic congestion. <br /> TABLE 5 <br /> EXISTING CONDITIONS <br /> PEAK HOUR INTERSECTION LEVELS OF SERVICE <br /> Existing Conditions <br /> Intersection Controls Peak Hour <br /> Detay2'3 LOSS <br /> AM <br /> 4.

This equates to 10-15% of the first phase's total traffic volumes. The <br /> Transportation Assessment identifies the existing LOS at Stoneridge Drive and Johnson <br /> Drive as LOS B in the AM peak hour and LOS C in the PM peak hour. Given this level of <br /> service, the additional hotel trip generation (3-4 vehicles per signal cycle) could be <br /> accommodated prior to mitigation measure completion without reducing the intersection <br /> level of service to an unacceptable level. Similarly, the hotel trips would contribute to the <br /> vehicle queues at the intersection, but the volume would not be sufficient to exceed the <br /> existing available storage capacity. Allowing occupancy of other new uses in the JDEDZ <br /> area is not recommended prior to full construction of the five major transportation <br /> mitigation measures. <br /> Page 9 of 16 <br />
