that a maximum of 13 study intersections will be analyzed. It must be noted that seven (7) of the proposed 13 study intersections are study intersections of the Bristol Street Widening Phase 3 and 4 Traffic Studies which will have available traffic count data and information. Traffic Analysis Task 2.0 Develop Trip Generation of Affected Parcels/Surplus Areas The purpose of this task is to identify the trip generation potential of the affected parcels that were currently zoned park/open space In the Specific Plan that are proposed to be re -zoned to commercial use: The task includes identification of current land use and general plan designation; Identifying developable areas and developing trip generation for any proposed new uses as well as for existing uses that are acquired as part of the Bristol Street widening project. The resulting net trip generation will be used as the basis for the Specific Plan and General Plan Amendment traffic Impact analysis. URS will coordinate with both City Planning and Engineering staff to refine and finalize the trip generation assumptions, Traffic Analysis Task 3.0 Specific/General Plan Amendment Traffic Assessment 3,1 Future Traffic Forecasts and Adequacy of the Street System Traffic forecasts for the future conditions will be developed using the latest traffic modeling and growth projections currently used in the ongoing traffic studies for the Bristol Street Widening Phase 3 and 4 traffic studies. Develop Future Baseline Conditions This scenario will form a baseline condition for the Bristol Street Specific Plan and General Plan Amendment, it will provide an analysis and discussion of future conditions that would exist without the implementation of re -zone of the affected Park -zoned parcels. Careful consideration will be given to Include all known local and regional growth assumptions, local redevelopment plans and applicable cumulative projects in the analysis of baseline conditions. Effects of Future Traffic on Street Segment and Intersection Caaacities Peak period and daily traffic forecasts will be analyzed. Street segment levels of service and volume/capacity ratios will be calculated, tabulated, and analyzed for all identified roadway segments for Future Baseline conditions. Peak period traffic forecast volumes will be post -processed for selected study intersections and levels of service will be calculated for Future Baseline AM and PM peak hour conditions. This scenario will also 5
