4.7 – Transportation Draft Environmental Impact Report February 2021 14800 W. Schulte Road Logistics Center 4.7-10 Goal TM-4 To maintain and expand a safe, continuous, and convenient bicycle system and pedestrian network. Policy TM-4.12 Sidewalk Design. The County shall require that sidewalks in Urban Communities and City Fringe Areas be developed at sufficient width to accommodate pedestrians in accordance with the American with Disabilities Act. The Project would involve construction of sidewalks along the Project frontage, which would be developed to accommodate pedestrians in accordance with the Americans with Disabilities Act, consistent with County General Plan Policy TM-4.12. City of Tracy Circulation Element Objective CIR 1.1 Implement a hierarchical street system in which each street serves a specific, primary function and is sensitive to the context of the land uses served. Policy P3 The City shall continue to apply traffic mitigation fee programs to fund transportation infrastructure, based on a fair share of facility use. Policy P4 The City shall continue to participate in regional transportation funding decision, including Measure K reauthorization, regional or countywide transportation fees, and prioritization of State funded projects. The TIA (Appendix F) provides a Project fair-share analysis for several study intersections warranting improvements. Fair-share calculations are based on Caltrans and County of San Joaquin Traffic Impact Study guidance , and cost estimates are based on roadway improvements assumed under the City of Tracy Transportation Master Plan. Fair- share contributions from the Project applicant would be determined by the City, consistent wi th City General Plan CIR 1.1, Policies P3 and P4 (City of Tracy 2011). Objective CIR-1.4 Protect residential areas from commercial truck traffic. Policy P1 Significant new truck traffic generating uses shall be limited to locations along designated truck routes, in industrial areas or within ¼-mile of freeways. The Project truck distribution patterns identified in the TIA show all Project truck traffic routed to the west of the Project site, with no truck traffic routed east into the City. Truck routes are not identified by the City adjacent to or near the Project site; however, truck traffic would be limited to industrial areas, consistent with City General Plan CIR-1.4, Policy P1 (City of Tracy 2011). Therefore, as discussed above, the Project would be consistent with applicable policies of the County’s General Plan Public Facilities and Services Element – Transportation and Mobility Section and the City of Tracy’s General Plan Circulation Element. Further discussion of policies related to transit, bicycle, and pedestrian facilities are provided below. Transit, Bicycle, and Pedestrian Facilities As discussed in Section 4.7.1, there is currently no transit service to the Project site. The Project would result in an increase in population and employment in the County, increasing the number of people who may use public transit services. However, the Project site is not directly served by any transit routes. Transit service is provided by Tracer, with the nearest bus stops approximately 2 miles northeast at the intersection of Lammers Road with 11th Street, serving Routes D and Commuter Route G (City of Tracy 2020). No public transit facilities or services are planned for the Project vicinity.
