9.0 SITE ACCESS AND INTERNAL CIRCULATION EVALUATION <br />9.1 Site Access <br />Vehicular access to the existing gas station at 325 N. Tustin Avenue is currently provided by one (1) <br />right in -right out driveway on Tustin Avenue and four (4) right in -right out driveways on Fourth <br />Street. Access to the existing restaurant at 301 N. Tustin Avenue is currently provided by one (1) full <br />access driveway and one (1) right in -right out driveway on Tustin Avenue. <br />Vehicular access will remain generally similar to the current driveways with the exception of the <br />removal of the one (1) right in -right out driveway at the existing restaurant along Tustin Avenue and <br />the westerley right in -right out driveway along Fourth Street. A total of three (3) driveways will <br />provide access to the proposed Project site. <br />Table 9-1 summarizes the intersection level of service results for the three (3) proposed Project <br />driveways under near-term (Year 2019) traffic conditions at completion and full occupancy of the <br />proposed Project. As shown, these key study intersections are forecast to operate at LOS C or better <br />during the AM peak hour and PM peak hour. <br />Appendix D presents the near-term HCM/LOS calculations for the three (3) Project driveways. <br />9.2 Internal Circulation Evaluation <br />The on-site circulation was evaluated in terms of vehicle -pedestrian conflicts. Based on our review <br />of the preliminary site plan, the overall layout does not create any unsafe vehicle -pedestrian conflict <br />points and the driveway throating is sufficient such that access to parking spaces is not impacted by <br />internal vehicle queuing/stacking. Curb return radii have been confirmed and are adequate for <br />service/delivery trucks and trash trucks. The on-site circulation is very good based on our review of <br />the proposed site plan, whereas the alignment, spacing, and throating of the Project driveways is <br />adequate. The circulation around the buildings is adequate with sufficient sight distance along the <br />drive aisles. <br />75B-108 <br />
