10.0 SITE ACCESS AND INTERNAL CIRCULATION EVALUATION <br />10.1 Site Access <br />Access to the proposed Project will be provided via one (1) full access unsignalized driveway along <br />Park Court Place and one (1) right in/out only driveway located along 4th Street. <br />Table 10-1 summarizes the intersection level of service results for the two (2) proposed Project <br />driveways under near -term (Year 2025) and long-term (Year 2040) traffic conditions at completion <br />and full occupancy of the proposed Project. As shown, these key study intersections are forecast to <br />operate at LOS D or better during the AM peak hour and PM peak hour. <br />Appendix F presents the near -term and long-term HCM/LOS calculations for the two (2) Project <br />driveways. <br />10.2 Queuing Analysis <br />A queuing assessment has been completed to validate the driveway locations and egress from the <br />site. In addition, as a result of the recommended improvements in Section 11.0, which identifies a <br />second westbound right turn lane at I-5 NB Ramps/46 Street, the queueing analysis includes <br />additional recommended improvements to help with existing congestion at Cabrillo Park Drive/4th <br />Street. This evaluation is based on Synchro 10.0 Sim Traffic 95th Percentile methodology. <br />10.2.1 Year 2040 Buildout Plus Project Traffic Conditions <br />Table 10-2 presents the queueing analyses results for the AM and PM peak hours for Year 2040 <br />Buildout Plus Project traffic conditions. Column (1) presents results for Year 2040 Buildout project <br />traffic conditions and column (2) presents results for Year 2040 Buildout Plus Project traffic <br />conditions with recommended improvements. <br />Based on field observation it is apparent that congestion occurs at Cabrillo Park Drive/0' Street as a <br />result of vehicles trying to enter the westbound right -turn lane along 41h Street. Due to the <br />recommended second westbound right -turn lane along 4th Street, additional improvements are <br />recommended for the northbound approach at Cabrillo Park Drive/4th Street. The additional <br />recommended improvements consist of the following: <br />■ Add signage to the northbound direction along with lane line extensions to direct the motorist <br />in the left turn lane that they can enter the inner right -turn lane for access to the I-5 NB <br />Ramp. The northbound left/thru lane should have signage and lane extensions to direct the <br />motorist to use the outer right -turn lane for access to the I-5 NB Ramp. These improvements <br />are subject to the review and approval of the City of Santa Ana. <br />Review of Column (1) of Table 10-2 indicates that the queues are generally adequate under Year <br />2040 Buildout Plus Project traffic conditions during both the AM and PM peak hours. However, the <br />southbound right -turn lane at Cabrillo Park Drive/41h Street may exceed the storage provided. As an <br />alternative, subject to review and approval of City staff, an option southbound through/right lane in <br />
