Administrative Draft Environmental Impact Report Gill Medical Center Project 4.19-1 g: Eliminate Sidewalks Along the Ham Lane Driveway The applicant shall revise the project site plan to eliminate sidewalks along the Ham Lane driveway until such time that sidewalks are provided on Ham Lane between Eight Mile Road and the Ham Lane driveway entrance. Pedestrians should be encouraged to use the West Lane access route until Ham Lane and the Ham Lane entrance driveway sidewalks are constructed. Timing/Implementation: Prior to and during construction Monitoring/Enforcement.• County of San Joaquin Planning/Development Services Division Impact 4.19-2: Conflict or be inconsistent with CEQA Guidelines Section 15064.3, subdivision (b) for Vehicle Miles Traveled (VMT) Impact Determination:Significant and Unavoidable Thresholds: Result in inconsistent with CEQA Guidelines Section 15064.3, subdivision (b) Impact Determination As noted in the above Vehicle Miles Traveled Significance Threshold section, at the time of Traffic Study preparation, neither the City of Stockton nor the County of San Joaquin had adopted guidelines for analyzing VMT for CEQA documents. Therefore, the draft EIR VMT analysis contained in this draft EIR is intended to be a good-faith effort at disclosing and identifying the VMT impacts of the Project absent city or county adopted guidance. As described in more detail in the Vehicle Miles Traveled Significance Threshold section of this traffic impact study, the impacts of the Project on VMT is evaluated by comparing project-related VMT to a citywide average, expressed as "VMT per Service Population. To achieve a 15 percent reduction in VMT, consistent with City of Stockton General Plan Policy Action TRT-4.3, a project is considered to have a significant impact on VMT if it would generate more than 20.54 VMT per Service Population. VMT associated with the Project was calculated using the City of Stockton General Plan travel demand model (City of Stockton 2O18b). Two estimates of VMT were calculated. The two estimates may be thought of as "gross" and "net". These two estimates are described below: The estimate of gross VMT associated with the Project was calculated by applying a "select link" procedure to the General Plan travel demand model. This procedure identified all vehicle trips to and from the Project site. Project trips were then multiplied by the model-estimated length of these trips, in miles. The sum of the length of the vehicle trips associated with the Project was calculated to estimate direct project-related VMT. The estimate of net VMT associated with the Project was calculated by running the General Plan travel demand model both with and without the project. VMT for all travel in the model area was then calculated for both runs of the model. The net change in VMT was calculated by subtracting the model area VMT total for the run without the project from the model area VMT total with the project. In the model run without the project, vehicle trips that would otherwise travel to the Transportation 4.19-40 October 2021
