INTRODUCTION Traffic related impacts associated with the development of the proposed Trinity Baptist Church Project in the County of San Joaquin have been analyzed and are summarized in this report. As illustrated in Figure 1, the site is located in the southeast quadrant of Middle Road/Lammers Road intersection,just outside the city limits of the City of Tracy, in the County of San Joaquin. The proposed project would develop 5 acres of the 16-acre existing property with approximately 16,400 sq. ft. of Church facility, parking and related grounds. The roadway system that would be most impacted by this development consists of Middle Road, Lammers Road, Naglee Road and Grant Line Road that surround the project on four sides, in the project's immediate vicinity. The primary nature of the project is described by the proposed 16,400 square feet Church facility. Based upon discussions with the applicant, the expected maximum number of church services is two and these services are expected to occur on Sundays between 8:00 A.M. and 12:00 Noon. During weekday evening off-peak hours (7:00 P.M. and 9:00 P.M.), social activities (like 'Awans' Night, Youth Group meetings etc.) are expected. The primary project driveway impacts are expected to occur during the Sunday service hours. Currently the Church meets at Tracy West High School on Sundays and at the Grant Line Road Church on other days of the week. The geographical distribution of the congregation of church members consists of 11% of the congregation living on the north-western side of Interstate 205 and �. south of Grant Line Road, 33% of the congregation living on the south-eastern side of Interstate 205 and north of Eleventh Street, and 56% of the congregation living south of Eleventh Street. A more detailed discussion of the proposed land-uses, expected peak hour periods of trip generation, expected number of peak hour trips and anticipated directional trip distribution, is provided in a later section. EXECUTIVE SUN04ARY The study area contains four existing intersections considered as critical to traffic flow and requiring analysis. All of the study intersections are currently operating at acceptable levels of service for both AM and PM peak hour periods. All study area roadways also have sufficient capacity to accommodate existing levels of daily traffic. Development of the proposed project will cause insignificant change in the peak hour average vehicular delays for the study intersections, and the existing peak hour levels of service are not expected to change. With the development of the project, all study intersections are expected to continue to ^rerate ., at acceptable levels of service for weekday AM and PM peak hour periods as well as the Sunday peak period of project trip generation. The levels of service and expected worst-case queue lengths at the project's driveway intersections with Middle Road are expected to be within acceptable levels for the project's Sunday peak hour of trip generation, with the recommended driveway lane configurations and storage lengths. The roadway system in the vicinity of the project, currently has sufficient capacity to accommodate project-generated peak hour trips. r Trinity Baptist Church Project Page 1 Traffic Study
