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

4. 9. Transportation/Circulation
The traffic study conducted as part of the Redevelopment Plan FEIR assumes that the
project site develops as Restricted Industrial use to an FAR of 0.75. Given the site area of
12.21 acres per County Assessor records (not including the proposed quitclaim of the Victory
Truck Boulevard easement), it is estimated that the Redevelopment Plan FEIR traffic study
includes development of about 398,900 square feet of Restricted Industrial uses on the project
site.
Using the trip generation rates published in the Redevelopment Plan FEIR, Table 13 on
page 77, indicates that this level of development would generate approximately 365 trips during
the A.M. peak hour and 390 trips during the P.M. peak hour. These trips were distributed
across the street system using distribution patterns from the Redevelopment Plan FEIR, and
were subtracted from the Year 2010 base traffic forecasts to represent Year 2010 volumes
without any development on the project site.
The projected Year 2010 cumulative base traffic volumes at the eleven study
intersections are included in Appendix C. These forecasts represent projected conditions at
Year 2010 with development under the provisions of the Redevelopment Plan throughout the
Redevelopment Plan area,· but without any development on the project site.
Levels of Service and Mitigation Measures
The Year 2010 cumulative base traffic forecasts were analyzed to detennined the
projected future peak hour levels of service at the eleven study intersections, without any
development on the project site and without consideration of the mitigation measures proposed
in the Redevelopment Plan FEIR. Table 14 on page 78, summarizes the results of this analysis.
As can be seen in Table 14, four of the intersections (Flower Street/Western Avenue,
San Fernando Road/Sonora Avenue, San Fernando Road/Grandview Avenue, and San Fernando
Road/Doran Street) are projected to operate at poor levels of service of E or F during one or
both of the A.M. and P.M. peak hours under Year 2010 conditions with development throughout
the Redevelopment Plan area but with no development on the project site.
The Redevelopment Plan FEIR proposed mitigation measures at three of these locations
to mitigate Year 2027 conditions. An analysis was conducted to detennine what components
of the Redevelopment Plan FEIR mitigation program would need to be implemented to mitigate
the Redevelopment Plan traffic impacts at 2010 with no development on the project site. The
