UBLIC HEARING: Director of Development ... - City of Glendale

4. 9. Transponation/Circulalion
The following summarizes potential impacts associated with the proposed site access
plan, based on review and evaluation of the potential operation of each access location (as
discussed in the following section, each of these impacts can be mitigated):
• Main Gate - It is anticipated that security arrangements for the -project would
require visitors to check-in with a guard and employees to enter and leave the site
via card-key operated gates. Given this, adequate storage area should be provided
on-site to accommodate entering vehicles queuing prior to the guard/gate locations.
• Secondary Access Opposite Grandview Avenue - Given the potential number of
project employees (estimated to be approximately 1.400 at full occupancy). the size
of the proposed projectparking structure (approximately 1.000 spaces). and the
projected peak hour project trip generation, this second project parking egress is
considered necessary during periods of peak: exiting traffic. The perimeter service
road is proposed to be gated for security purposes. and its use is expected to be
infrequent. The recommended configuration for the project driveway at the Flower
Street/Grandview Avenue intersection is discussed in the Mitigation Measures Section
below.
• Loading Dock Access':' The project site plan as initially proposed does not provide
adequate space on-site for truck maneuvering and would require trucks to back into
the loading dock from Flower Street. Trucks backing into the site from Flower
Street would create conflicts with traffic flows on Flower Street. particularly as
traffic increases in the future commensurate with redevelopment of the area.
It is anticipated that, with implementation of the mitigation measures discussed below.
the project would not create any new unavoidable significant impacts beyond those already
identified in the Redevelopment Plan FEIR.
