SAN JOAQUIN COUNTY COUNCIL OF GOVERNMENTS L -J 1860 EAST HAZELTON AVENUE STOCKTON, CALIFORNIA 95205 TELEPHONE (209) 944-2233 June 3, 1987 Mr. Harry Islas Associate Planner San Joaquin County Planning Division 1987 1810 E. Hazelton Avenue SAN JOAQUIN COUNTY Stockton, CA. 95205 PLANNING DEPARTMENT Dear Mr. Islas: The San Joaquin County Council of Governments has completed its review of Application Referral UP-86-6/VR-86-5. COG staff offers the following comments concerning the proposed Christian Life Center: The area in which the proposed project would be located is an area of concern to the Council of Governments. This area has seen a number of recent developments, while others, including the Christian Life Center, are in the planning stages. Many trans- portation improvements will be needed as a result of this growth. As mentioned in the Application Referral, widening of Hammer Lane and improvements to the Hammer Lane/Highway 99 interchange will both be necessary in the future. COG staff agrees that the developer of this project should help fund these improvements. The Application is confusing however, in its discussion of the developers share of these costs. It is not clear how many trips per day this development will actually generate. While it may be necessary to refer to this in trips per year, it should be derived at from daily trip projections. The table on page two of the supplemental traffic information is confusing as it refers to trips in millions. This should be made more readable and explained more clearly in any future documents. The source of the cumulative traffic volume projections should also be defined, and there is also no mention of what year these cumulative totals are representing. The location of the cumula- tive traffic projections are also unclear, only one volume is given in the table. It should be stated whether this is at the Hammer Lane/Highway 99 interchange, in front of the Christian Life Center, or elsewhere on Hammer Lane. One other point of concern is that of a traffic signal at the project entrance off of Hammer Lane. How close would this be to the signal which currently exists at the entrance to the Stockton Auto Center? Too many lights along this stretch of Hammer Lane, close to Highway 99, could cause a traffic flow problem. • COUNTY OF SAN JOAQUIN 9 CITIES OF STOCKTON, LODI, TRACY, MANTECA, ESCALON, RIPON •
