Environmental Impact Report Alternatives Assessment for the proposed Lodi, California, Love's Travel Stops Project Memorandum January 28,2013 Project Objectives The principal objective of the proposed Project is to construct a Love's truck stop to serve existing travelers and truck traffic on SR 12 and I-5. Additional specific objectives are described below:° • Develop a regional travel stop on commercially designated land In the northern portion of the County that is consistent with County General Pian policy and zoning. • Create a high-quality travel stop commercial development near I-5, a major transportation corridor. • Develop a property of sufficient size to accommodate a truck and auto fuel dispensing area, emergency tire repair and replacement services, convenience store, and fast-food restaurant to create a regional travel stop. • Provide a travel stop facility that maximizes its proximity to I-5 for all buildings and tenants. • Construct a facility near a major freeway interchange to minimize traffic generation on local streets. • Construct a facility with access to adequate existing or anticipated utility infrastructure to support planned operations. • Provide a travel stop facility of sufficient size to capture overflow overnight truck parking. DEIR Project Alternatives The September 2012 DEIR identified the following four land use alternatives to the proposed Project. • Alternative 1: No Project Alternative. • Alternative 2:. Reduced Project Size. • Alternative 3: Alternative Use—Combination Gasoline Station. • Alternative 4: Alternative Use—Retail with Fast-Food Restaurant. Detailed descriptions of these alternatives, and an assessment of their feasibility, are described below. The feasibility assessment of each Project alternative is based on the following considerations: project objectives, Love's business objectives, usage of the Project site, and traffic impacts as estimated by the traffic engineering firm, Omni-Means.5 Refer to Table 1 for a summary of the Proposed Project and DEIR Alternatives and the extent to which they meet Project objectives.
