Urban Crossroads 2020 (Appendix B) <br />Notes: DO = dwelling units; TSF = thousand square feet <br />Vehicle Miles Traveled (VMT) <br />The calculation of VMT for a development project has two components — the total number of vehicle trips <br />generated and the average trip length of each vehicle. The vehicle trips produced by a proposed development <br />project are typically based on the type and size of the proposed development and trip generation rates published <br />in ITE Tfip Generation Manual. <br />For purposes of the assessment of the Proposed Project, the VMT estimates are derived from the One <br />Broadway Plaza An Quality & Greenhouse Gas Memorandum (Urban Crossroads, Inc., March 2020) contained <br />in Appendix A. VMT estimates for the Approved Project and the Proposed Project were estimated using trip <br />generation rates (as identified in Urban Crossroad's Trip Generation Evaluation memorandum and default trip <br />lengths using the California Emissions Estimator Mode1TM (CalEEMod) version 2016.3.2. These same VMT <br />estimates are utilized in calculating the Approved Project and the Proposed Project's greenhouse gas (GHG( <br />emissions. <br />Comments: <br />a) Conflict with a program, plan, ordinance or policy addressing the circulation system, including <br />transit, roadway, bicycle and pedestrian facilities? <br />Less Than Significant Impact/No Changes or New Information Requiring Preparation of an EIR. <br />Circulation System. and Roadways <br />Based on the Trip Generation Evaluation by Urban Crossroads, the Approved Project included a total of 744 <br />AM Peak Hour Trips, 819 PM Peak Hour Trips, and 6,686 trip -ends per day. Based on Table 11, above, the <br />Proposed Project would generate 3,026 trip -ends per day with 261 AM peak hour trips and 325 PM peak hour <br />trips. Table 12 below compares the Proposed Project's trip generation with the Approved Project. As shown in <br />Table 12, the development of the Proposed Pfoject is anticipated to generate 3,660 fewer trip -ends per day <br />with 483 fewer AM and 494 fewer PM peak hour trips as compared to the Approved Project. This equates to <br />a 65 percent feduction during the AM, 60 percent reduction during the PM peak hour, and a 55 percent <br />reduction to daily trip -ends. As the Proposed Project would result in a reduction of trips compared to the <br />Approved Project, the Proposed Project would not generate new impacts to the circulation system.
