1. INTRQDIICTIQN <br /> The purpose of this Site Access Study is to determine how the <br /> potential traffic generated by the proposed Tracy Delta Disposal <br /> Refuse Transfer Station (Project) will be served by the existing <br /> street network. Portions of this study result from a traffic <br /> impact report by DRS Associates, dated April 24 , 1989 . The <br /> Traffic Analysis and Level of Service Analysis were replaced with <br /> analyses by the City of Tracy Public Works Department. <br /> The proposed PROJECT is a waste disposal and transfer facility <br /> which would occupy approximately 2 . 82 acres . The PROJECT site is <br /> situated on Larch Road about 200 feet east of the intersection of <br /> Holly Drive and Larch Road as illustrated in Figure 1 and Figure <br /> 2 . vehicle access would be from two driveways located on Larch <br /> Road. <br /> This report evaluates the traffic impacts associated with the <br /> proposed PROJECT at the following unsignalized intersections : <br /> Tracy Boulevard and Larch Road <br /> Holly Drive and Larch Road <br /> The above intersections were evaluated for the following growth <br /> scenarios: <br /> - Existing background traffic <br /> - Existing background traffic plus cumulative growth without <br /> PROJECT <br /> - 'Existing background traffic plus forecast of short term <br /> 1( 1989/90) PROJECT traffic with <br /> - Existing background traffic plus cumulative growth <br /> PROJECT traffic <br /> Analysis of traffic impacts and determination of the associated <br /> mitigating requirements of the proposed Conditional Use Permit <br /> are based on considerations involving the applicants proposed <br /> PROJECT design capacity of 500 tons of refuse received and <br /> processed per day. <br /> Level of Service (LOS) for the above scenarios were calculated <br /> using the methodology found in the 1985 Highway Capacity Manual, <br /> Special Report 209, Transportation Research Board, which is <br /> based on the drivers perception of judgmentally selected gaps in <br /> the major street traffic flow through which to execute crossing <br /> or turning maneuvers (referred to as reserve capacity) . The AM <br /> weekday peak hour was chosen as the design flow because no <br /> project traffic will occur during the PM peak as closing time <br /> will be 4 :00 PM. <br /> 1 <br />
