Mr.Jolley February 13, 2020 Page 13 of 15 For the EPAP condition we will request from the City and County a list of approved projects and consider whether a manual assignment of City EPAP traffic model best represents the short-term future background condition. For long term cumulative analysis, we will consider whether the City's updated General Plan traffic model or San Joaquin County Tri-County model is the best available tool. The selected tools will be updated to reflect the proposed project as needed. We assume that long term improvements addressed by the Current RTP or City/County CIP's will be included in the long-term cumulative analysis. Vehicle Miles Traveled (VMT). San Joaquin County and the City of Stockton have not yet adopted methods for addressing VMT impacts or for characterizing the significance of impacts under VMT as mandated by SB 743. It is likely that additional guidance will be provided by the SB 742 July 2020 deadline. Lacking direction at this time, we assume that KDA will make use of the Tri-County regional travel demand forecasting model to quantify the total regional VMT creates with and without the project. KDA will also isolate the project within the model to identify project specific VMT and will use that information to calculate VMT per service population. We will create a baseline per service population VMT rate for comparison based on isolation of a similar area using population and employment information provided by the City and County. Work Products. KDA will prepare an administrative draft traffic impact study for review by the project team and County staff. KDA will revise the traffic impact study in response to comments on the administrative draft and issue a final traffic impact study. Meetings/Coordination. KDA will be available to attend up to three (3) project team meetings during the preparation of the traffic study and EIR. We will participate in regular telephone conference calls if needed. We will assist the lead consultant in assembling our standalone traffic study into the EIR. FOR. KDA will provide written response to agency and public comments. As the breadth of comments is unknown, we have budgeted 16 manhours for this work and will request augmentation for an unusual number of comments. Public Hearings. KDA will be available to attend one planning commission meeting and one Board of Supervisors meeting. Task 2G: Visual Impact Assessment/Visual Simulations ECORP will draft a visual impact assessment including two visual simulations. Geo located photos, including GPS coordinates and compass direction, will be collected at up to 5 locations.Two photos will be selected from these locations and will be utilized to generate a photo simulation detailing the post construction site conditions. Each simulation will be used to generate a figure showing the pre and post site conditions.The figures will be used to support preparation of a Visual Impact Assessment consistent with CEQA guidelines. It is assumed that detailed renderings and elevations will be provided by the applicant to support this effort. 13 ECORP Consulting,Inc. EN'l'ERONNENTAL CONSI:LIRN-l5
