The Project will include the development of a commercial building with a drive-through and a gas station convenience store at 301 and 325 N. Tustin Avenue, respectively. The Project would include construction of a 7,417 square-feet (SF) commercial building with drive-through to replace a 4,200 sit-down restaurant and a 2,778 SF gas service station convenience store to replace the existing gas station building and car wash. 1.1 Scope of Work This traffic report documents the findings and recommendations of a traffic impact analysis conducted by Linscott, Law & Greenspan, Engineers (LLG) to determine the potential impacts associated with the proposed Project. The traffic analysis evaluates the existing operating conditions at four (4) key study intersections one (1) key roadway segment within the project vicinity, estimates the trip generation potential of the proposed Project, and forecasts future near-term (Year 2019) operating conditions without and with the proposed Project. Where necessary, intersection improvements/mitigation measures are identified. This traffic report satisfies the traffic impact requirements of the City of Santa Ana and is consistent with the current Congestion Management Program (CMP) for Orange County. The Scope of Work for this traffic study, which is included in Appendix A, was developed in conjunction with City of Santa Ana Public Works Department staff. The project site has been visited and an inventory of adjacent area roadways and intersections was performed. Existing weekday peak hour traffic count information has been collected at four (4) key study intersections and one (1) key roadway segment for use in the preparation of intersection level of service calculations. Information concerning cumulative projects (planned and/or approved) in the vicinity of the proposed Project has been researched at the City of Santa Ana and City of Tustin. Based on our research, there are sixteen (16) cumulative projects located in the City of Santa Ana and eight (8) cumulative projects located in the City of Tustin. The twenty-four (24) cumulative projects were considered in the cumulative traffic analysis for this project. This traffic report analyzes existing and future weekday daily, AM peak hour and PM peak hour traffic conditions for a near-term (Year 2019) traffic setting upon completion of the proposed 2-60
