The Academy Charter High School MND I City of Santa Ana Planning Division • 2035 Project Design Year No -Project Conditions • 2035 Project Design Year with Project Conditions Year 2013 volumes will be identified by applying an appropriate growth rate identified by the City to the existing volumes and adding traffic from approved/pending projects in the area that are anticipated to be completed prior to the opening of the proposed project. Year 2035 forecasts will be developed using a local or regional travel demand model, City General Plan forecasts, or application of a growth rate combined with trips from approved and pending projects. This includes preparation of a cumulative traffic analysis that utilizes all of the previous, pending or reasonably foreseeable projects within the traffic study area. In addition, a review of relevant traffic and parking studies and documents containing traffic analyses within the project area will be completed. This will be performed to determine of any future improvements are to be assumed. In addition, this will include evaluation of the mitigation measures presented in the original development agreementitraffic study as it relates to any proposed mitigation recommended in the proposed project's traffic study. a Traffic Impacts and Mitigations. Fehr & Peers will identify impacts associated with the project traffic. if any impacts are identified, mitigations will be noted. These mitigations could include traffic signal installation, traffic signal improvements, intersection lane striping, localized street improvements, roadway widening, or other related items. Intersection control analysis at unsignalized intersections will be performed, including performing a peak hour signal warrant analysis at unsignalized locations to determine of a traffic signal is warranted and required. * Site Plan and Alternative Modes Review. Fehr & Peers will conduct a review of the project site plan related to site access, internal circulation, and parking. Assessments and recommendations will be developed at project access locations including sight distance and stopping sight distance based on information collected in previous tasks. Internal circulation, including vehicle queues at driveways and potential impacts of drop-offs and pick-ups on street traffic, will be analyzed using the information collected in Task 2. We will also conduct a peer review of the LLG parking study prepared for the site to determine if adequate parking will be provided for the project. Concurrent with this site plan review, Fehr & Peers will also determine if there are any conflicts with adopted programs and policies related to alternative travel modes like bicycles, pedestrians, and transit. * Neighborhood Impacts. A detailed assessment of the potential impacts to the adjacent residential areas will be performed. This scope assumes that neighborhood streets will be assessed using the count information provided or collected in previous tasks. Please note that this scope and fee assumes this assessment will be conducted in a methodology that is similar in effort to a TIRE (Traffic Intrusion on Residential Environments) index. * Draft Report. Fehr & Peers would produce a professional traffic engineering draft traffic impact report. It is anticipated that a draft report would be produced, with the report updated following the receipt of any comments from the project team and City staff. Sewer Capacity Analysis As a subconsultant to ICF, Fuscoe will prepare a project -specific sewer capacity analysis as requested by the RFP. To identify and document the existing conditions on the project site, Fuscoe will conduct a review of available information related to the project site, including previous wastewater generation demands from the site, proposed development plans, the City`s Sewer Master Plan, and any other information that may be pertinent to the existing or proposed wastewater demand. Fuscoe will then prepare a sewer capacity analysis for the proposed project that would evaluate the existing demand based on local sewer generation factors and compare it with proposed demand based on the new school use and projected sewer generation factors. The study will also evaluate the capacity of the public sewer system in the adjacent right-of-way by comparing proposed project flows with the estimated flows (i.e. modeled Page 15
