<br />a) Conflict with an applicable plan, ordinance or policy establishing measures of effectiveness for
<br />the performance of the circulation system, taking into account all modes of transportation

<br />system, including but not limited to intersections, streets, highways and freeways, pedestrian
<br />and bicycle paths, and mass transit?
<br />Less Than Significant Impact. The proposed project would generate traffic trips during short -term
<br />construction activities. One truck trip would be required for the hauling of demolished materials (total of
<br />approximately 185 cubic feet) to the disposal site, and approximately eight truck trips would be required
<br />for soil hauling (148 cubic yards). The remainder of construction trips would be construction worker
<br />trips to and from the project site each day of construction. Santa Fe Street would be partially blocked
<br />during construction activities (primarily during the one day required to pave Santa Fe Street); however,
<br />it would remain accessible with standard traffic control devices. Therefore, short -term construction
<br />impacts to the circulation system would be less than significant.
<br />The facility would continue to process 15 to 20 truck loads per day and maintain 12 full -time employees
<br />(including truck drivers and on -site staff), resulting in a total of approximately 88 daily trips. Heavy truck
<br />trips to and from the site would occur throughout the day, with the majority occurring outside of the AM
<br />and PM peak hours. In addition, given the relatively limited on -site employment at the existing facility,
<br />impacts are anticipated to be less than significant. Moreover, the minor aesthetic, drainage, water
<br />quality, and safety improvements associated with the project would not expand operations or
