Charter Way on the north, I-5 on the east, French Camp <br /> Slough on the south, and the San Joaquin River on the west. <br /> In estimating the cumulative traffic levels, all undeveloped <br /> lands within these census tracts were inventoried, their <br /> general plan designation determined, and their area <br /> From <br /> data the <br /> development levels tand epotential <br /> traffic levels wereestimated. For <br /> low to medium density residential development, an overall <br /> average development density of 8. 7 dwelling units per acre <br /> was assumed at the direction of the City Department of <br /> Community Development. <br /> TRAFFIC IMPACTS <br /> Trip Generation <br /> The traffic to be generated by the proposed Golf Course <br /> Terrace development and the other cumulative development has <br /> primarily been estimated using trip generation rates <br /> .provided by the City Traffic Engineering Section. These <br /> have been supplemented (particularly for estimating <br /> peak-hour directional splits ) by published generation rates <br /> for similar development types ( "Trip Generatibn• , ITE, <br /> 1982 ) . <br /> Table II presents a summary of the trip generation <br /> assumptions used herein. Table III presents the resulting <br /> estimated daily and peak-hour trips to be generated by the <br /> project and the cumulative development components . <br /> Trip Distribution <br /> To estimate the directional distribution pattern of traffic <br /> generated by the project and cumulative development in the <br /> area , a gravity model distribution technique was used to <br /> develop a rational approximation of the likely directional <br /> orientation of traffic generated within the study area, <br /> including the adjacent Census Tract 24 . This technique <br /> considers the relative likelihood that various areas in the <br /> region will attract traffic generated in the study area and <br /> the relative distance between these areas and the study <br /> area . Distribution to the various areas is in direct <br /> proportion to their traffic attractiveness and in indirect <br /> proportion to their distance from the study area. <br /> The basic data used in preparing the distribution estimates <br /> are the year-2000 population and employment opportunities <br /> ��/ Joseph R.Holland 4 Consulting Traffic Engineer <br />
