ATTEST: CITY CLERK JGR:se:D:9/28/81 -2- MAYOR A262 Campus Drive, Suite B-1 June 23, 1981 BASMACIYAN-DARNELL, INC. gI ENGINEERING AND PLANNING Transportation, `traffic, Municipal, `transit Mr. John W. Jamieson RBD 445 E1 Camino Real Saddleback Plaza Western Building Design Tustin, CA 92680 Newport Beach, California 92660 (714) 549-9940 Subject: Traffic Report for Far West Savings Office Project on First Street in the City of Tustin Dear Mr. Jamieson: In accordance with your authorization we have prepared this letter report for the subject project. The report provides a summary of traffic generation to/from the project area, trip distribution and review of on-site circulation. PROJECT DESCRIPTION Far West savings proposes the construction of a five story office building to the rear of their existing property located at First Street. The existing development provides 8500 square feet of gross floor area and 60,000 square feet of gross floor area is proposed in the new building. Parking for the project is proposed with at grade parking and parking within a subterranean parking level. The location of the project site is depicted on Figure 1. PROJECT -RELATED TRAFFIC Trip Generation and Distribution Trip generation characteristics of the project are summarized in Table 1. Table 1 provides a summary of trip generation rates anticipated for the office development and a summary of the daily AM and PM peak hourly traffic volumes to be generated. .tJ IWN 2 4 1118i Mr. John W.

Based on the trip distribution character- istics shown on Figure 2, the daily, and peak hourly traffic volumes summarized on Table 1 were then allocated to the surround- ing street system. The results of this analysis are shown on Figure 3. Project -Related Impacts Existing traffic volumes on First Street and Fashion Lane were obtained from the City of Tustin and are depicted on Figure 1. The project related traffic shown on Figure 3 was then added to the existing traffic volumes shown on Figure 1. The results of this analysis are depicted on Figure 4. Based on a review of the anticipated project -related traffic and the superimposing of project -related traffic on existing traffic volumes, no capacity and/or congestion problems are anticipated. \D1 d d 1 4 Ln Ln I a M ro m O \8%\ bASMACJYAII Dd1RlIELL, OIG an c ww 0*46 Edo ►1 Awn 9=d6 Cohn* am . hN) lMMM 17th a (11,150) 938/1253 Irvine Main N a NJT-TO-SCALE (24,450) (1979/2276) (21,20 7 0 (20,850) 1868/2092 (Soon) 603/1 (7150) 481/691 a (2150) 259*/239 1 PROJECT (15,950) ro 1335*/1328 C y 3 (4350) G N.A./950 U St 25 _(19,450) 1281/1881 (23,050) 151966 LEGEND ' XX,XXX Daily Volume YYY/ZZZ AM Peak/PM Peak Hour Volume XXX* Noon Peak (XXXX) 1980 Volumes FIGURE 1 LOCATION MAP AND EXISTING 1981 AND TWO-WAY TRAFFIC VOLUMES {NylrMN FIGURE 2 TRIP.

Jamies • RBD June 23, 1981 Page Three ACCESS AND ON-SITE CIRCULATION Access Access to/from the project site has been reviewed and determined to be adequate for the existing and proposed office building. -Site Circulation On-site circulation within the project site has been reviewed and has been determined to be adequate except for access to the under- ground parking. Access to/from the underground parking enters the main aisleway for the project at an angle. Although this angle is not critical, a minor adjustment is recommended. To minimize this angle we would suggest that the curb returns for the angle portion of the access be increased in size. This minor adjustment will allow for painting a double yellow centerline and curving the centerline to provide a better angle entering and leaving the underground parking. In addition the increase in curb radius will improve the turning radius for vehicles leaving and entering the parking structure. Traffic Control On-site circulation has been reviewed in terms of the need for on- site traffic control. After reviewing the on-site circulation patterns we would recommend that stop signs be installed at each exit from the parking structure. The installation of the stop signs will provide for positive control at these access locations. In addition it is recommended that stop signs be installed at the driveway exiting onto First Street and Fashion Lane. SUMMARY * The proposed development of 60,000 square feet of office is expected to generate 738 daily vehicle trip ends, 133 AM.peak hour trip ends (112 inbound and 21 outbound), 138 PM Peak hour trip ends (36 inbound and 102 outbound). * When project -related traffic is added to existing traffic no capacity and/or congestion problems would be created on First Street or Fashion Lane. * The access locations proposed for the project are adequate to accommodate the anticipated traffic generated to/from the project. * On-site circulation has been reviewed and determined to be adequate except for recommended minor adjustments to the underground parking entrances. \I Mr. John W. JamiesRBD June 23, 1981 Page Four * At the entrances to the underground parking, minor adjustments should be made to the curb return radius at the acute angle side of the structure access. It is recommended that the curb return radii be increased in size and a double yellow centerline be painted with a curvature creating a less acute angle. * Stop signs are recommended to be placed at the exit from the underground.parking and at the driveways entering First Street and Fashion Lane.
