Saticoy & Wells Community Plan and Code EIRSection 4.15 Traffic and Circulation• Telegraph Road. Frontage improvements include widening of Telegraph Road alongthe project’s frontage to provide two-travel lanes, parallel parking on both sides of thestreet, a bike lane on the south side of the street, a central median, and a 28-footparkway on the north side of the street. The proposed parkway would provide ameandering bike lane and pedestrian path.• Wells Road (north of Citrus Drive). Improvements include widening the street toprovide one travel lane in each direction with parallel parking and bicycle lanes onboth sides of the street. A center median would also be installed along this segment.• Wells Road (South of Citrus Drive). Improvements including widening the roadwayto provide two travel lanes in each direction, as well as bicycle lanes on both sides ofthe street. A center median would also be installed along this segment.• Blackburn Road. Blackburn Road would be realigned to connect to the [ProjectArea’s] main roadway approximately 100 feet west of Wells Road. Additionalimprovements would include construction of curb, gutter and sidewalk on BlackburnRoad along the [Project Area] frontage.4.15.2 Impact Analysisa. Methodology and Significance Thresholds. In August, 2005, the City certified afinal environmental impact report (FEIR) and adopted a comprehensive revision of the GeneralPlan, including the Circulation Element. As part of that effort, 2025 traffic levels were modeledbased on projected growth and a program of recommended improvements was devised toachieve and maintain the desired level of service on area roadways and intersections. Thetraffic analysis prepared for the 2005 General Plan (incorporated herein by reference andavailable for review at the City Planning Department) was based on growth assumptions for allof the various planning sub-areas of the City, including the Project Area. A comparison of thegrowth forecast for the Project with the assumptions used for the 2005 General Plan FEIR trafficmodel reveals that the Project would accommodate a comparable level of development atbuildout as that assumed for the 2005 General Plan, resulting in comparable roadway andintersection impacts.Accordingly, the analysis provided in this EIR characterizes traffic levels associated withgrowth facilitated by the Project within the context of the growth forecasts contained in the 2005General Plan and focuses on impacts to the local circulation system that may result from theroadway and intersection improvements recommended by the Project.Performance standards include level of service E (peak hour ICU less than or equal to 1.00) forfreeway ramp intersections and non-Principal Intersections that are located in the CMPnetwork. Level of service D (peak hour ICU less than or equal to 0.90) is the performancestandard for all other principal intersections. For an intersection that is forecast to operateworse than its performance standard, the impact of a project is considered to be significant if theproject increases the ICU by more than 0.01. Additionally, impacts relating to transportationand circulation would be considered potentially significant if development facilitated by theProject would:4.15-11City of Ventura

Project Impacts and Mitigation Measures.Impact T-1Development facilitated by the Project could result in adeficiency at one study area intersection (Wells Road andDarling Road) based on the projected 2025 growth scenario.However, feasible improvements are available to address thisdeficiency. Therefore, impacts associated with the Projectwould be Class II, significant but mitigable.Development accommodated by the Project would add additional trips to the Project Area andto the City. Table 4.15-5 indicates that the potential development would add approximately27,500 ADT through the year 2025, representing about 16% of the expected overall trafficgrowth under the 2005 General Plan.Table 4.15-5Project Development Potential Trip GenerationLand Use Units (du or sf) a Generation Rate ADTSingle-Family Residential 1,224 du 9.57 trips / du 11,714Multi-Family Residential 609 du 6.72 trips / du 4,092Retail 270,625 sf 42.94 trips / 1,000 sf 11,621Total 27,427du = dwelling units, sf = square feetSource: Institute of Transportation Engineers. Trip Generation. 7 th Edition.aThis estimate of Project Area development is within the 1,990 dwelling units forecasted for theSaticoy and Wells area in the 2005 General Plan upon which the 2005 General Plan traffic analysiswas based.Year 2025 ICUs and LOS are listed in Table 4.15-6, which shows the traffic values with baselineimprovements.The Darling Road/Wells Road intersection is the only intersection that would operate atunacceptable levels (LOS F) under “baseline improvements” for the General Plan buildoutconditions for the year 2025. To address this issue, the 2005 General Plan EIR identified aroadway improvement that would achieve the desired level of service at this location.Individual developments within the Project Area would be required to mitigate impacts byeither implementing needed physical improvements, contributing “fair share” fees (both Cityand County) toward implementation of needed improvements, or some combination thereof.Implementation of the identified improvement at Darling Road/Wells Road would reduce 2025traffic impacts to a less than significant level.4.15-12City of Ventura
