Would the <br />project: <br />a) Conflict with a program, plan, ordinance or <br />policy addressing the circulation system, including <br />transit, roadway, bicycle and pedestrian facilities? <br />b) Would the project conflict or be inconsistent with <br />CEQA Guidelines section 15064.3, subdivision (b)? <br />c) Substantially increase hazards due to a <br />geometric design feature (e.g., sharp curves or <br />dangerous intersections) or incompatible uses (e.g., <br />farm equipment)? <br />d) Result in inadequate emergency access? <br />Summary of Impacts Identified in the GPU EIR <br />❑ <br />❑ <br />❑ <br />❑ <br />❑ <br />❑ <br />❑ <br />❑ <br />❑ <br />❑ <br />❑ <br />❑ <br />❑ ❑ ❑ ❑ <br />The Final Recirculated GPU EIR addressed transportation impacts on pages 5.16-25 through 5.16-37. The <br />GPU EIR determined that the GPU is consistent with adopted programs, plans, and policies addressing the <br />circulation system, including transit, roadway, bicycle, and pedestrian facilities. Additionally, the EIR <br />determined that implementation of the GPU would result in a reduction of vehicle miles traveled per service <br />population (VMT/SP) in comparison to existing City conditions, and would achieve a VMT/SP at least 15 <br />percent lower than the countywide VMT/SP. Also, the EIR determined that circulation improvements <br />associated with future development pursuant to the GPU would be designed to adequately address <br />potentially hazardous conditions (sharp curves, etc.), potential conflicting uses, and emergency access. <br />Impacts Associated with the Proposed Project <br />a) Conflict with a program, plan, ordinance or policy addressing the circulation system, including <br />transit, roadway, bicycle and pedestrian facilities? <br />No New Impact. The Project would change the site from three office buildings that total 103,031 square <br />feet to one 91,500 square foot light industrial warehouse building that would accommodate two tenants. <br />Based on the existing square footage, it is estimated that the existing office buildings generate <br />approximately 1,117 daily trips, with 157 trips (1 38 inbound and 19 outbound) in the AM peak hour, and <br />148 trips (25 inbound and 123 outbound) in the PM peak hour. <br />Table T-1 identifies the number of trips that would be generated by the Project. The Project trip generation <br />is broken out by vehicle type and passenger car equivalent (PCE) factors are applied to the truck trips to <br />determine the PCE trip generation. Passenger car equivalent factors account for the additional roadway <br />capacity utilized by trucks due to their larger size, slower acceleration and reduced maneuverability when <br />compared to passenger cars. As shown, the proposed light industrial warehouse building would generate <br />90 <br />
