4.7 – Transportation Draft Environmental Impact Report February 2021 14800 W. Schulte Road Logistics Center 4.7-9 Emergency Access The emergency access analysis evaluated whether the Project would comply with the County’s emergency access and/or evacuation requirements, including those imposed by the fire department. A significant impact would occur if the Project would not comply with Section 503.1 of the California Fire Code and the San Joaquin County Fire Chiefs Association’s Fire Access Road Standards such that emergency vehicles would not be able to access the Project site, 4.7.4 Impacts Analysis Threshold A: Would the Project conflict with a program, plan, ordinance, or policy addressing the circulation system, including transit, roadway, bicycle, and pedestrian facilities? Less-Than-Significant Impact. As discussed below, the Project would not conflict with a program, plan, ordinance, or policy addressing the circulation system, including transit, roadway, bicycle, and pedestrian facilities . As required by SB 743, the LOS and delay impact metric has been replaced by the VMT metric in the determination of transportation impacts. Therefore, LOS goals and policies of the affected jurisdictions are not assessed in this CEQA document. The LOS analysis contained in the TIA (Appendix F) was prepared for use by the City of Tracy and the County of San Joaquin for informational purposes only. The following are the programs, plans, ordinances, or policies that are pertinent to the Project (County of San Joaquin 2016; City of Tracy 2011). County of San Joaquin Public Facilities and Services Element – Transportation and Mobility Section Goal TM-3 To maintain a safe, efficient, and cost-effective roadway system for the movement of people and goods. Policy TM-3.2 Urban Roadways. The County shall require, where feasible, new development in Urban Communities to construction roadways to County standards and complete streets principles, including curb, gutter, and sidewalks. Bike lanes shall be required where feasible, for improvements identified in the San Joaquin County Bicycle Master Plan. The Project would involve construction of roadway improvements consistent with County standards and complete streets principles, including curb, gutter, and sidewalks along the Project frontage. Additionally, no improvements to bicycle facilities are noted along Schulte Road, which is currently designated as a Class III Bike Route between Hansen Road and Lammers Road. The Project would not impact the existing Class III bicycle facilities. Policy TM-3.3 Onsite Circulation Systems. The County shall require new development to design on -site circulation systems and parking facilities to minimize backup on County roadways. The Project would involve street improvements on Schulte Road, including the addition of a right-turn lane on eastbound Schulte Road for both driveways, addition of westbound left-turn lanes along Schulte Road for both driveways, and widening a portion of westbound Schulte Road. These measures would facilitate adequate on -site circulation and sufficient site access for passenger vehicles and trucks, and would ensure efficient off-site circulation on nearby roadway facilities to minimize backup on County roadways , consistent with County General Plan Policy TM-3.3.
