Measure K Strategic Plan <br /> Measure K is a San Joaquin County measure that funds transportation projects through sales tax revenue. The <br /> planned expenditures under the measure are provided in the Measure K Strategic Plan. The latest version of this <br /> plan was published in 2003. One relevant improvement described in the plan is the widening of Lathrop Road <br /> west of I-5 to four lanes in the city of Lathrop, as well as east of 1-5 in the city of Manteca. The reauthorization of <br /> Measure K passed on the November 2006 ballot, adding over$3.1 billion in transportation resources. Funds will <br /> be used roughly one-third for maintenance and safety, one-third for transit and alternative modes of travel, and <br /> one-third for roadway operational and capacity improvements. Specifically,the measure includes funds for <br /> expanding SR 120 to six lanes between Manteca and Stockton and improvements to all SR 120 interchanges in <br /> Manteca. <br /> Proposition 1B <br /> Proposition 1B is a statewide transportation bond program totaling more than$19.9 billion that was approved by <br /> California voters in November 2006. Proposition 1B will fund safety improvements, expand public transit,relieve <br /> traffic congestion,repair local streets, and reduce air pollution. Under the program, San Joaquin County will <br /> receive roadway maintenance,transit, and other capital improvement funds. Some Proposition 113 funds will be <br /> automatically distributed to San Joaquin County via a formula, and other funds will be available on a competitive <br /> basis. <br /> City of Manteca General Plan <br /> The City general plan includes the following circulation element policies related to transportation and circulation <br /> that are relevant to this analysis: <br /> ► Policy C-P-2: Manteca's target for transportation LOS is to provide citywide average LOS of C or better, and <br /> a minimum of LOS D at any individual location. This"C average, D minimum" shall be accomplished by <br /> attempting to provide LOC C at all locations,but accepting LOS D under the following circumstances: <br /> • Where constructing facilities with enough capacity to provide LOS C is found to be unreasonably <br /> expensive. This applies to facilities, for example, on which it would cost significantly more per dwelling <br /> unit equivalent(DUE)to provide LOS C than to provide LOS D. <br /> • Where it is difficult or impossible to maintain LOS C because surrounding facilities in other jurisdictions <br /> operate at LOS D or worse. <br /> • Where free-flowing roadways or interchange ramps would discourage use of alternate travel modes. <br /> • Where maintaining LOS C would be a disincentive to use of existing alternative modes or to the <br /> implementation of new transportation modes that would reduce vehicle travel. <br /> ► Policy C-P-26: The City shall require all new development to provide an adequate number of off-street <br /> parking spaces to accommodate the typical parking demands of the type of development on the site. <br /> 4.11.2 ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACTS <br /> THRESHOLDS OF SIGNIFICANCE <br /> For purposes of this analysis,the following applicable thresholds of significance have been used to determine <br /> whether implementing the proposed project would result in a significant impact.
