Traffic volumes will be developed in conjunction with the build out year scenario in the TZC. As such, traffic <br />volumes will be derived using both an ambient growth rate and cumulative projects anticipated to be <br />constructed and operational during the project opening year. IBI Group will consult with the City of Santa <br />Ana to define the cumulative projects to include from the TZC. <br />This task will also include identification of the project's contribution to regional vehicle miles traveled <br />(VMT) for the opening year condition and assess the potential for improvements to promote access via <br />pedestrian, bicycle and transit modes. <br />General Plan (2035) Conditions: The General Plan No Project Analysis will assess future year traffic <br />conditions and level of service at study intersections within the study area for the weekday AM and PM <br />peak hours. IBI Group will utilize the General Plan future year (anticipated to be 2035) traffic volumes from <br />the TZC traffic study. IBI Group will manually overlay project traffic onto this scenario to provide a General <br />Plan With Project scenario. <br />Based on the results of the traffic analysis, IBI Group will identify any significant traffic impacts to study <br />intersections and study roadways, and review mitigation measures identified in the certified TZC EIR to <br />potential impacts. If appropriate, the project's fair share contribution to specific impacts will be identified. <br />This task will also include identification of the project's contribution to regional vehicle miles traveled <br />(VMT) for the future year condition. <br />The future year analysis will also include an assessment of pedestrian, bicycle and transit opportunities to <br />reduce project trips. If feasible, reductions to the project trip generation will be identified and proposed in <br />the report. <br />Special Analysts: IBI Group will conduct an access analysis for all project ingress/egress locations. This <br />evaluation will include a level of service and queuing analysis the project driveway(s). <br />Shared ParldngAnalysls: IBI Group will develop a spreadsheet -based parking model to evaluate the impacts <br />of future planned and proposed developments within the study area. The model will be built based on the <br />Urban Land Institute's Shared Parking Model. The Shared Parking Model is calibrated using existing land <br />use characteristics and existing parking demand. Once calibrated, the model can be used to project future <br />parking demand. This approach will capture the unique parking characteristics of the various land uses. It is <br />anticipated the City will provide existing and proposed land use data within the study area to determine <br />future parking. IBI Group will work with City Staff and model two scenarios, anticipated to be short-term <br />and long-term. <br />Report Preparation: IBI Group will prepare a draft traffic study report, summarizing the work efforts and <br />analysis completed in the tasks above. Following receipt of comments by city staff, IBI will revise the draft <br />report and prepare the final report. The report components will follow the standard City of Santa Ana <br />guidelines for traffic studies. <br />Task 2.3: Phase 1 Site Assessment (PlaceWorks) <br />A Phase I Environmental Site Assessment (Phase 1) will be prepared by PlaceWorks for the 0.80 acre mixed <br />use development project located at 201 West 3rd Street in Santa Ana. The Phase I will be prepared in <br />accordance with the USEPA Standards and Practices for All Appropriate Inquiries (40 CFR 312), published <br />November 2005, and the most recent version of the ASTM Standard Practice for Environmental Site <br />Assessments: Phase I Environmental Site Assessment Process (ASTM Designation E-1527-13). <br />25D-18 <br />
