• Under future conditions, both with and without the project, level of service (LOS) at the various study intersections would worsen, but, in the near term, all of the study intersections would continue to operate at an acceptable Level of Service (LOS)3. • Under long-term, cumulative conditions, the TIA found the southbound approach (Larkspur Landing) of the unsignalized intersection at Owens Drive and the Larkspur Landing driveway would deteriorate from LOS E to LOS F with the addition of the project trips during both the AM and PM peak hours. • The volume of vehicles exiting Johnson Court to make a U-turn at the Larkspur Landing driveway intersection to get back to Hopyard Road could, at times, be large enough that it could lead to increased queue lengths and limit the ability for vehicles trying to exit the western driveway in a timely manner. To address the above impacts, the project has been conditioned to: • Construct a raised channel median at the intersection of Owens Drive and the Larkspur Landing Hotel driveway to prevent left turn movements from both the Larkspur Landing Hotel driveway on the north side of Owens Drive, and the Tommy T's driveway on the south side of Owens Drive (see Figure 9). (Left turns into the Tommy T's driveway would still be permitted.) • Pay into the Traffic Impact Fund (TIF) to cover the City's expenses for any signal timing changes in the immediate vicinity as deemed necessary by the City's Traffic Engineer. • Install ADA compliant ramps on both sides of Johnson Court and install a crosswalk. • Limit the total amount of all restaurant uses to a maximum of 3,349 square feet. Any additional restaurant uses beyond the 3,349-square-foot limit shall require additional on-site or off-site parking to be provided and shall be subject to review and approval by the Planning Division and City Traffic Engineer. All TIA mitigations have been incorporated into the recommended COA's for the proposed project. Based on the analysis above, in addition to the TIA-recommended mitigations, staff's recommendation to the Planning Commission included that the allowable use table make a distinction between "restaurants and catering establishments" and "coffee, bagel and donut shops," and that a CUP be required for this latter use (see Condition of Approval No.8.). Because coffee, bagel and donut shops have a significantly higher AM trip generation rate, which was not a use analyzed in the TIA, requiring a CUP would s As summarized in the supplemental memorandum,the addition of project trips would be equivalent to four new vehicles arriving at each cycle of the traffic signals at Hopyard Road and Owens Drive. In the view of the City's Traffic Engineer,this change would not result in a measurable difference in operations at the signal. Operational conditions will also be improved with completion of the additional right turn pocket. Page 7 of 10
