FIRST STREET APARTMENTS TRAFFIC ANALYSIS SCOPE OF WORK July 1, 2013 The proposed project, First Street Apartments, consists of 250 residential apartment units and about 2,000 square feet of support service retail to be located at the intersection of First and Cabrillo in the City of Santa Ana. The area -wide traffic impacts of the proposed project site were previously analyzed for a 374 unit Residential Condominium and 8,957 square foot specialty retail project that was previously approved for this site. The proposed project trip generation is significantly less that the previously approved project. Therefore it is proposed that a focused Traffic Analysis be conducted to provide the evaluate the design of the project circulation and access drive elements and to further evaluate any required traffic control measures at the project access drives. This analysis will also provide a comparison of the project trip generation to the trip generation of the previously approved project for the site. It should be noted that the proposed project will continue to provide its fair share funding of the mitigation measures identified at the two impacted intersections identified in the March 2007 First and Cabrillo Towers Project Traffic Study. The study will include the following sections: I. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY This section will provide a short, clear and concise description of the Project, background, and the Traffic Analysis findings. Also, included in this section will be a general description of all data, conclusions, mitigation measures and/or recommendations. II. INTRODUCTION III. This section of the report will include a comprehensive description of the Project and key elements of the Traffic Analysis including the project site location, existing uses, proposed project, study area, and existing description of the adjacent roadway network will be discussed. The Traffic Analysis will evaluate the proposed access driveways. The trip generation for the proposed project will be based on the Institute of Transportation Engineer's Trip Generation Manual, 8m Edition for a high -rise apartment development. The trips being generated by the proposed project will be compared to the trips contained in the approved First and Cabrillo Towers Project Traffic Impact Study dated March 2007 prepared by EIP Associates. The comparison will demonstrate that the decrease in the number of units will result in Approved: Date: Page 1
