Frewert Traffic Impact Study SUMMARYEXECUTIVE This report summarizes the results of the Traffic Impact Study(TIS) conducted for the proposed Frewert Road Truck Parking facility located southwest of the intersection of Manthey Road Frewert Road in unincorporated San Joaquin County.The proposed project consists of a 34 acre paved parking lot with the potential for 677 truck and trailer parking stalls, and three support buildings of about 9,000 square feet(s.f.). The purpose of this report is to evaluate traffic impacts on the surrounding transportation system with the proposed project.A focused VMT analysis of the proposed project was conducted for CEQA purposes and is summarized in this report.To evaluate the effects on the transportation infrastructure due to the addition of traffic from the proposed project, an LOS analysis was conducted to determine consistency with San Joaquin County plans and standards. Vehicle Miles Traveled For VMT forecasting, the San Joaquin County Transportation Analysis Guidelines (September 2020, page 5) states that VMT is only relevant for daily automobile travel.As this project is a truck terminal parking facility, only the site buildings are analyzed for the VMT significance criteria. Under CEQA, small office projects that are consistent with the San Joaquin County General Plan and are smaller than 11,300 square feet in size are exempt from VMT analysis and thus do not have a significant VMT impact. Since the total build out component for this project totals only 8,780 square feet, it is found to have a less than significant impact on VMT. Project Trip Generation TJKM developed estimated project trip generation for the proposed project based on trip generation rates developed for this project, since published trip rates were not available.The proposed project is expected to generate 2,395 total daily trips,including 124 a.m. peak hour trips(60 in,64 out)and 170 p.m. peak hour trips(77 in,93 out). Existing Conditions Under this scenario, all study intersections operate within applicable jurisdictional standards during both peak hours, except the intersection at Roth Road/S. Harlan Road (Intersection #1), which operates at unacceptable LOS E during the p.m. peak hour. This project is in the City of Lathrop,who has plans to improve this intersection. In effect, the main intersection will be relocated about 600 feet to the east and signalized. The current intersection will essentially operate with turns to and from Harlan Road restricted to right turns only. Background Conditions Under this scenario, all study intersections operate within applicable jurisdictional standards during both peak hours, except the intersections at Roth Road/S. Harlan Road (Intersection#1) and Roth Road/1-5 Southbound Ramps,which operate at unacceptable LOS during at least one peak hour. Page � 1 TAM
