4.7 – Transportation <br />Draft Environmental Impact Report February 2021 <br />14800 W. Schulte Road Logistics Center 4.7-14 <br />Additionally, per the December 15, 2020, memorandum, the County will require the Project applicant to modify the <br />site plan to meet City driveways standards in one of the two following ways: <br />• Move western driveway approximately 160 feet to the east to provide the minimum recommended distance <br />of 500 feet from the 14900 Schulte Road driveway if full access is to be maintained, or <br />• If the western driveway remains less than 500 feet from the 14900 Schulte Road driveway, driveway will <br />be restricted to right-in/right-out access only. <br />Per the County’s requirements, with implementation of MM-TRAF-1, the Project would not incorporate design <br />features that would increase hazards, and impacts associated with site access would be less than significant. <br />Incompatible Uses <br />The Project site is located within an agricultural area that is transitioning to one that is primarily industrial, and farm <br />equipment may operate on Project-area roadways. However, although farm equipment may operate on these <br />roadways, the Project’s traffic would use designated truck routes and operate in other industrial areas. Additionally, <br />operators of farm equipment would be required to comply with regulations and equipment restrictions of the <br />roadways. Therefore, the Project would not increase hazards due to the introduction of a use that is incompatible <br />with existing uses, and impacts would be less than significant. <br />Overall, with implementation of MM -TRAF -1, the Project would result in less -than-significant impacts related <br />to Threshold C. <br />Threshold D: Would the Project result in inadequate emergency access? <br />Less-Than-Significant Impact. Site access would be provided via two driveways on Schulte Road and a 25-foot-wide <br />driveway on Quality Drive. Emergency vehicle access would be available at both driveways and facilitated within the <br />entirety of the Project site. Additionally, a 25-foot-wide driveway on Quality Drive would be reserved exclusively for <br />emergency access. The Project site would be accessible to emergency responders during construction and <br />operation of the Project. All emergency access roads would be constructed in compliance with Section 503.1 of the <br />California Fire Code and the San Joaquin County Fire Chiefs Association’s Fire Access Road Standards. Therefore, <br />impacts associated with an emergency response plan or emergency evacuation plan would be less than significant. <br />Threshold E: Would the Project result in cumulatively considerable transportation impacts? <br />Less-Than-Significant Impact. Per the OPR Technical Advisory , “a project that falls below an efficiency -based <br />threshold that is aligned with long -term environmental goals and relevant plans would have no cumulative <br />impact distinct from the project impact. Accordingly, a finding of a less -than-significant project impact would <br />imply a less than significant cumulative impact, and vice versa” (OPR 2018). Based on the VMT analysis <br />provided under Threshold B , because the Project would be screened out from further VMT analysis based on <br />its location in a low VMT -generating TAZ, it would have a less-than-significant cumulative impact to VMT and <br />would not result in cumulatively considera ble transportation impacts.
