K. Transportation Impact Finding: The Project would not conflict with a program, plan or ordinance, or policy addressing the circulation system, including transit, roadway, bicycle, and pedestrian facilities. (Draft Supplemental EIR p. 5.13-10). Facts in Support of Findings: As detailed in Table 5.13-3 of the Draft Supplemental EIR, Phase 1 of the proposed Project is forecast to generate 4,167 "net" daily trips, with 545 "net" trips in the AM peak hour and 359 "net" trips in the PM peak hour. Phase 2 of the proposed Project is forecast to generate 3,241 "net" daily trips, with 293 "net" trips in the AM peak hour and 271 "net" trips in the PM peak hour. Phase 3 of the proposed Project is forecast to generate 80 fewer "net" daily trips, with 381 "net" trips in the AM peak hour and 58 "net" trips in the PM peak hour. Operation of all three Phases at buildout of the proposed Project is anticipated to generate 7,328 net daily trips, including 1,219 AM peak hour and 688 PM peak hour trips (Draft Supplemental EIR pp. 5.13- 10 through 5.13-1 1). Roadway The proposed Project would continue to provide vehicular access to the site from the adjacent roadways, but would provide new driveways: five unsignalized right -turn only driveways and one signalized driveway along South Plaza Drive, two unsignalized right -turn only driveways along MacArthur Boulevard, three unsignalized right -turn only driveways along Bristol Street (one of which would be truck driveway), two signalized driveways on Bristol Street, and two unsignalized right - turn only driveways and one signalized driveway along Sunflower Avenue. In addition, the proposed Project would provide pedestrian and bicycle access to and through the site from installation of new and/or reconstructed landscaped sidewalks, the internal Greenlink pedestrian circulation, and Class IV bike lanes on Bristol Street, MacArthur Boulevard, and Sunflower Avenue along the Project site frontage. As shown on Figure 3-12 of the Draft Supplemental EIR, Proposed Circulation Plan, the Related Bristol Specific Plan identifies multiple circulation improvements to connect the proposed redevelopment of the site to the existing circulation system adjacent to the site in a manner that would implement efficient multi -modal circulation to, from, and within the Project site. Thus, a conflict with a program, plan, or policy related to roadway circulation would be less than significant (Draft Supplemental EIR pp. 5.13-1 1 through 5.13-13). Transit Facilities The Project site is located within a TPA and a high -quality transit corridor and is served by OCTA Routes 55, 57, 76, 86, 150, and 553. These existing transit services would continue to serve the ridership in the area and would serve residents, employees, and visitors of the Project site. The proposed Project would not alter or conflict with existing transit stops and schedules, and impacts related to transit services would not occur (Draft Supplemental EIR p. 5.13-1 3). Bicycle Facilities As detailed previously, Bristol Street has Class II bike lanes. The Related Bristol Specific Plan includes installation of a Class IV bike lane on Bristol Street, MacArthur Boulevard, and Sunflower Avenue
