constitute a No Project Alternative for the Specific Plan and General Plan Amendment environmental documentation. Analyze and Compare Specific Plan Land Use Alternatives Forecasts will be developed for the various land use alternatives developed as part of the City's Specific Plan General Plan update process. In coordination with City staff and the consultant team, zonal land use input assumptions will be developed for each general plan update alternative scenario. Model runs will be completed for each scenario and daily traffic volumes will be developed. A total of two alternative scenarios are assumed. Roadway segment volumes and levels of service will be generated and calculated. Using City guidelines developed for acceptable levels of service, traffic volumes and levels of service developed for each alternative scenario will be analyzed. Roadway segments, which exhibit capacity deficiencies based on these guidelines, will be Identified and listed for each alternative. This will help identify and select a preferred land use intensity scenario. 3.2 Identify Potential Transportation Improvements and Recommendations, Transportation improvements will be identified to bring the highway segments with future capacity deficiencies into compliance with the established mobility standards. Improvements necessary to bring the levels of service to within acceptable levels by the buildout of the proposed specific and general plan amendment land uses may Include additional lanes, new roadway segments, transportation systems management, transportation demand management, implementation of ITS components, and/or changes in land use development intensity. 3.3 Future Conditions with the Specific Plan and General Plan Amendment In this task, we will finalize the future transportation conditions forecasts for the selected land use scenario. Execute Travel Demand Model. URS will revise applicable parcel land use input assumptions based on the approved land use scenario, as necessary. Model runs using TRAFFIX (a localized traffic modeling tool) will be made for the selected land use scenario and revised daily traffic volumes will be developed. 'Revised roadway segment volumes and levels of service will be generated and calculated. Identify Transpartg1ion Deficiencies Using the recommended goals, policies and standards developed for acceptable levels of service, resulting traffic volumes and levels of service developed for the selected scenario will be analyzed. Roadway segments and Intersections which exhibit capacity deficiencies will be identified. R,
