LINSCOTT, LAW & GREENSPAN, engineers LLG Ref. 2-17-3881-1 Tustin Avenue Retail, Santa Ana N:\3800\2173881 - Tustin Avenue Retail, Santa Ana\Report\3881 - Tustin Avenue Retail, Santa Ana TIA 03-13-18.doc 45 projects are forecast to generate 30,720 daily trips, with 2,501 trips (1,176 inbound, 1,325 outbound) anticipated during the AM peak hour and 2,962 trips (1,506 inbound, 1,456 outbound) produced during the PM peak hour.  Existing Plus Project Traffic Conditions – The proposed Project will not significantly any of the four (4) key study intersections, when compared to the LOS standards and significant impact criteria specified in this report. Although the intersection of SR-55 SB Ramps at Fourth Street is forecast to operate at LOS E during the AM peak hour with the addition of Project traffic, the proposed Project is expected to add less than 0.010 to the ICU value. The remaining three (3) intersections are forecast to continue to operate at an acceptable LOS with the addition of project generated traffic under the Existing Plus Project traffic conditions.  Year 2019 Cumulative Traffic Conditions Plus Project –Traffic associated with the proposed Project will not significantly impact any of the four (4) key study intersections, when compared to the LOS standards and significant impact criteria specified in this report. SR-55 SB Ramps at Fourth Street is forecast to operate at LOS E during the AM peak hour with the addition of Project traffic, the proposed Project is expected to add less than 0.010 to the ICU value. The remaining three (3) key study intersections are forecast to continue to operate at an acceptable LOS with the addition of project generated traffic in the Year 2019.  Site Access Assessment – The three (3) proposed Project driveways under near-term (Year 2019) traffic conditions at completion and full occupancy of the proposed Project. As shown, these key study intersections are forecast to operate at LOS C or better during the AM peak hour and PM peak hour.  Internal Circulation Evaluation – The on-site circulation was evaluated in terms of vehicle- pedestrian conflicts. Based on our review of the preliminary site plan, the overall layout does not create any unsafe vehicle-pedestrian conflict points and the driveway throating is sufficient such that access to parking spaces is not impacted by internal vehicle queuing/stacking. Curb return radii have been confirmed and are adequate for service/delivery trucks and trash trucks. The on- site circulation is very good based on our review of the proposed site plan, whereas the alignment, spacing, and throating of the Project driveways is adequate. The circulation around the buildings is adequate with sufficient sight distance along the drive aisles.  CMP Compliance Assessment – The proposed Project is expected to generate a net of 878 daily trips, and thus does not meet the criteria required for a CMP traffic analysis. Therefore, it is concluded that the proposed Project will not have any significant traffic impacts on the Congestion Management Program Highway System.  State of California (Caltrans) Analysis for Existing Plus Project Traffic Conditions– Based on the evaluation using Caltrans criteria, the proposed Project will not significantly impact either of the two (2) state-controlled study intersections. Both intersections are forecast to continue to operate at acceptable LOS C with the addition of project generated traffic under the Existing Plus Project traffic conditions. 2-123
