SEPTEMBER 26, 2023
TO: HONORABLE MAYOR AND CITY COUNCIL MEMBERS
FROM: CITY MANAGER
SUBJECT: A PRESENTATION ON TH REE PROPOSED DENSITY
BASED LAND USE ALTERNATIVES FOR THE PROPOSED
GENERAL PLAN 2045 UPDATE
SUMMARY
Staff and MIG will present to the City Council an update on the status of the General Plan 2045 as well as three alternative density based Land Use scenarios that will be used to formulate the General Plan Land Use Map. Alternatives two and three also create new land use categories with increased densities. The presentation will also show the impact the different densities have on the City’s ability to meet the RHNA housing numbers and the level of flexibility each alternative affords the City. The City Council will be asked to provide staff direction on which land use alternative to pursue further. The densities of each alternative is shown below.
Alternative 1 represents the existing General Plan Land Use Map and density with no changes.
Alternative 2 represents a moderate increase in residential density and new land use categories added.
4.4. City Council Meeting September 26, 2023
General Plan 2045 - GPA 23-001
Alternative 3 represents a more significant increase in residential density and new land use categories added.
On August 24, 2023 the three alternatives were presented to the General Plan 2045 Working Group for feedback. On August 31, 2023 a community meeting was held at the Dollarhide Center to present the three alternatives to the community. The feedback staff and MIG received was that an increase in density is acceptable, but did not express a clear preference for alternative two or three. Next, a similar presentation was held before the Planning Commission at their regular September 13, 2023 meeting.
At the conclusion of the presentation, staff will ask the City Council to express which alternative (level of density) should be developed further culminating in the General Plan 2045 Land Use Map.
RECOMMENDATION
Provide staff with direction on which density based land use alternative should be pursued and developed into the General Plan Land Use Map.

SUBJECT: A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF COMPTON TO
CONSIDER AN APPEAL BY KIPP SOCAL TO EITHER UPHOLD OR
REVERSE THE PLANNING COMMISSION’S DECISION TO DENY THEIR REQUEST TO CONSTRUCT AND OPERATE A 500 STUDENT CHARTER
SUMMARY
The City Council will consider an appeal of the July 26, 2023 Planning Commission decision denying a n appeal of Architectural Review Board (ARB) Case No. 23 -0031, a request to construct and operate a 500 student charter middle school located at 900 East Compton Blvd.
On July 26, 2023, the Planning Commission conducted a public hearing and denied the Kipp SoCal (applicant) appeal of the Architectural Review Board decision to deny ARB Case No. 23- 0031.
BACKGROUND
Kipp: SoCal Public Schools is appealing the decision of the Planning Commission denying their request to develop a 500 -student charter middle school at 900 E Compton Blvd. within the Limited Commercial zone. The proposed site is a flat, vacant, 1.17 acres and is bordered by Pearl Avenue on the west, Compton Blvd. on the north and Mayo Avenue on the east.
The proposed site design consists of a 35,000 square foot three-story 22-classroom building located in the northeast corner of the site. The remainder of the site consists of a parking area, student drop of/pick up area, a ground level basketball court and a second floor uncovered outdoor play area . The second floor pla y area is above some parking spaces and the student drop off area. The school will also be fenced and gated with a six -foot high wrought iron fence.
The proposed school will accommodate grades 5 through 8 and will have two start times of 7:30 and 8:05 am.
The site design also incorporates two drive through queuing lanes that extend from the single entrance to the site on Mayo Avenue (east side) through the site to the single exit on Pearl Avenue (west side). The double queuing lanes travel through the parking area , the designated drop off zone in front of the school, additional parking spaces and then to the west exit.
On March 2, 2023, Kipp SoCal Public Schools filed an Architectural Review Board (ARB) application to develop a 500 -student charter middle school at 900 E Compton Blvd. The application and plans were circulated to various departments including Public Works Engineering to review the queuing analysis. Middle schools are a by right perm itted land use in the Limited Commercial zone as specified in section 30 -12(a)(33) Elementary, junior high and high schools offering full curricula as required by State laws ) By right permitted land uses are reviewed as ARB applications under section 30-45 Design Review of the Compton Municipal Code.
6.6.6.6.6.6.6.6.6.6.6.6.6.6. Staff Report – Architectural Review Board September 26, 2023
The Architectural Review Board held a meeting on May 15, 2022 to consider ARB Case No. 23- 0031 and denied said ARB application based on the potential for adverse traffic circulation impacts to Pearl Avenue, Compton Blvd. and Mayo Avenue
STATEMENT OF ISSUE
Staff has no concerns regarding the middle school as a land use on the subject site. The proposed middle school meets all of the setbacks, buildi ng height and landscaping requirements.
The central issue is the adequacy of the queuing analysis submitted by Kipp traffic consultants Linscott, Law and Greenspan (LLG). The City does not believe that the operation of the school and the methods proposed to handle student drop off and pick-ups as discussed in the queuing analysis and management plan would prevent vehicles from blocking through traffic on Mayo and Pearl Avenues and Compton Blvd .. Specifically, City staff and NV5, the Public Works Department transportation/traffic consultant firm, are concerned that some of the assumptions in the analysis are not verifiable creating areas of concern.
The primary concern of the City is the avoidance of school related vehicles (parents) stacking up on Pearl A venue, Compton Blvd. and Mayo Avenue blocking through traffic similar to the 134th Street Kipp Elementary school. Staff realizes that the two schools are different, but does not want to risk repeating the traffic congestion present at the 134th Street school site.
Staff discussed this concern with the applicant prior to ARB application submittal during pre - application meetings and stated that the middle school is a by right land use, but the primary concern, with proposing a middle school at 900 E. Comp ton Blvd, will be to avoid a repetition of the traffic problems caused at the 134 th Street elementary school. To avoid this a queuing analysis would be required with the ARB application and the queuing analysis must show that there will not be any on stree t queuing of school vehicles blocking through traffic lanes or driveways.
The Zoning Code section for Parking and Circulation begins with a Purpose section that specifies the intent of the Parking section of the Zoning Code. The relevant circulation objective for off street parking , circulation and loading that applies to this project is section 30-21.1 (c).
This section is stated below:
c. Ensure that vehicle movement and loading activities associated with a use do not interfere with circulation on public rights-of-way.
Implementing the above purpose of the parking code is section 30 -21.8(d) Drive Through Facilities. The school is using their double queuing lanes to function as a facility with a drive through. The school is proposing two drive through l anes with the product or service being education. While this code provision is typically used for restaurant and banks, this section does not mention any specific land use. T he intent of this code section is more generically to prevent facilities using an accessory drive through lane from causing onsite and offsite circulation problems. Here the concern is specifically to prevent parents using the drive thru lanes dropping off and picking up students from blocking traffic on the abutting streets.
Section 30-218(d) is listed below.
Drive-Through Facilities. Drive-through facilities shall conform to the following standards:
Staff Report – Architectural Review Board
September 26, 2023
1. Each drive-through lane shall be separated from the circulation routes necessary for ingress or egress from the property or access to any parking spaces.
2. Each drive-through lane shall be striped, marked or otherwise distinctly delineated.
3. The vehicle stack capacity of the drive -through facility and the design and location of the ordering and pick-up facilities shall be approved by the Architectural Review Board and shall be based on:
(a) Nature of the product or service being offered;
(b) Method by which the order is processed;
(c) Time required to serve a typical customer;
(d) Arrival rate of customers;
(e) Peak demand hours; and
(f) Anticipated vehicular stacking required.
4. The applicant may be required by the Architectural Review Board to submit a traffic study addressing the above-listed factors.
In the opinion of NV5 and City staff, the Queuing Analysis contains many assumptions regarding how vehicles will approach and leave the school . These assumptions are discussed below.
1. Parents will evenly arrive to the school site over a 90 to 60 m inute period before school starts.
The City staff do ubts that parents will leave their children at the Kipp school 90 to 60 minutes before school starts. NV5 and City staff do not think parents will drop their children off over an hour before school star ts. City staff and NV5 are especially concerned about the impacts to the site because it is more probably that most parents will drop of their children within 30 minutes or less of the 7:45 start time and within 30 minutes or less of the 8:05 start time. This creates an overlap of parents dropping off children at the same time and a larger volume of vehicles converging on the school in a short time period . The queuing analysis does not analyze the impacts of parents dropping off students 30 minutes or less both school start times.
2. The Queuing Analysis states that there wil l up to ten teacher/monitors that will direct traffic and prevent left turns.
While t he proposed monitors (teachers) onsite are a good way to keep the vehicles moving onsite and explai n to parents where to drop the students, they h ave no legal authority to prevent legal traffic movements off school property or the ability to control the arrival rate of vehicles . Additionally, the queuing analysis provides no objective verifiable data th at quantifies the impact onsite traffic monitors will have on the prevention of vehicles stacking up on Mayo and Pearl Avenues.
3. All parents will voluntarily comply with right turn only vehicle movements.
To either drop off or pick up students, parents will be required by the school to:
Approach the school from the west only, on Compton Blvd. , and turn right onto Mayo Avenue south bound to the site access approximately 140 feet south of Compton Blvd.
Staff Report – Architectural Review Board
September 26, 2023
Parent will t hen turn right into the site and proceed through the site in a double drive- through lanes until reaching the designated onsite drop off zone , (No verifiable information is provided on the average time each vehicle will take to drop off or pick up a student.). Parents cannot approach the school from the east on Compton Blvd and turn left onto Mayo Avenue. Parents cannot also travel north on Mayo Avenue and approach the school from the south and turn left into the school.
To leave the school site parents exit onto Pearl Avenue and turn right to proceed north on Pearl to turn right on to Compton Blvd. going east only. Left turns from the school exit on southbound Pearl Avenue and from the Pearl Avenue/Compton Blvd intersection are not permitted. All school related vehicle traffic in Queuing Analysis is assumed to be right-turn only.
Impacts from left turns from westbound Compton Blvd. onto southbound Mayo Avenue, from the site exit going south on Pearl Avenue or going west on Compton from Pearl Avenue are not considered. Moreover, local re sident traffic turning left from Compton Blvd. onto south Mayo Avenue or local resident traffic northbound on Pearl Avenue turning left onto Compton Blvd. is not considered in the queuing analysis. The impacts of every vehicle not turning right is not known.
NV5 further states that there is a possibility that the Level of Service for the Pearl Avenue/Compton Blvd intersection will drop from level of service D to E if the drop off period assumed in the queuing analysis was compressed from 60 to 30 minutes . This drop is service was not analyzed by the queuing analysis.
4. A 25 - 50% student walk in, bike in and bus ridership rate.
The Queuing Analysis assumes that 25 - 50% of the students will walk, bike or ride the bus to school, but offers no data to support the assertion. This quantity of non-vehicle arrivals has the potential to significantly affect the numbers of vehicles dropping off students and stacking onsite and offsite. No analysis of the 25% to 50% walk, bike, or bus factor being incorrect has done. If the 25% to 50% assumption is incorrect, it could increase the potential for vehicles to back up onto Mayo Avenue and stack on Pearl Avenue.
Additionally, a few days prior to the Planning Commission meeting, the applicant prepared a Queuing Man agement Plan and transmitted it to staff. The applicant gave it to the Planning Commission and discussed it during their presentation to the Planning Commission.
The Queuing Management Plan (See Attachment 6) is a four page document that explains the steps and measures the school will undertake to avoid school related vehicles from queuing and blocking through traffic on Mayo and Pearl Avenues. It discusses:
A crossing arm across the exit
The operation of the double drive thru lanes
Walk ways into the site.
Provision of bicycle racks
On and offsite Signs
Parent advisory instructions for drop off and pick up.
Staff Report – Architectural Review Board
September 26, 2023
Before school day care and breakfast program
Staggered school start time by 20 minutes.
Utilize a minimum of 10 monitors to direct traffic.
Programs and education for bicyclists, walkers and bus riders.
In t he July 25, 2023 letter containing the Queuing Management Plan , the applicant also discusses proposed condition of approval 18 staff prepared prior to the July 26, 2023 Planning Commission meeting as a contingency should the Commission chose to approve the project.
This condition 18 provides the City with the ability to recall this project back to the City Council for revocation if the conditions of approval, the Queuing Management Plan and any other steps the City and applicant may implement have not prevented vehicles from blocking through la nes on the abutting streets. This is the only condition /tool that grants the City final review authority.
Staff prepared condition 18 as insurance against street congestion.
If after numerous attempts by the applicant and the Cit y to prevent school vehicles (Parents) from blocking or stacking onto local streets have failed , Condition 18, allows the Director of Community Development to reschedule ARB 2023-0031 before the City Council giving the City the ability to take more drastic action if necessary.
In lieu of Condition 18, the applicant is stating the City has the ability to take enforcement action against the school by using code sections 30 -35 through 39. However, these code sections refer to licenses and permits issued in error and enforcement of code violations. However, these code sections do not apply to this project because, if approved, the approval would be granted by City Council resolution. However, if as Kipp claims, the Queuing Analysis , Queuing Management Plan and conditions of approval will prevent vehicles from backing onto the abutting streets, then Condition 18 will never become necessary. Condition 18, provides the City with maximum flexibility.
Environmental Review:
Pursuant to Section 15270 of the CEQA Gui delines, a public agency does not have to make a CEQA determination when a public agency denies a project.
However, if the City Council reverses the decision of the Planning Commission and finds that the proposed middle school as a by right permitted land use will not have a significant impact on on the surrounding community and streets, then a categorical exemption could be applied.
A Category 32 exemption under section 15332 states that the Class 32 exemption may be used for infill approvals of projects that are on sites of less than 5 acres within city limits surrounded by urban uses . Class 32 projects consists of environmentally benign infill projects that are consistent with the General Plan and Zoning requirements. This exemption is not limited t o any land use type and may apply to residential, commercial, industrial, public facility, and/or mixed - use projects.
FISCAL IMPACT
There is no direct fiscal impact to the General Fund that will result from the approval or denial of the attached Resolutions beyond the typical property taxes and sales taxes the project would generate.

FINDINGS FOR DENIAL OF ARCHITECTURAL REVIEW BOARD (ARB) APPLICATION CASE NO. 23-031
1. That the proposed Architectural Review Board application to allow a 500 student chart er middle school at 900 E. Compton Blvd. would be detrimental to the public welfare . The proposed project has the potential to cause vehicle queuing onto Compton Blvd., Mayo Avenue and Pearl Avenue blocking through traffic lanes on these public roads, and delay the response time from law enforcement or emergency personnel by having to choose alternative routes.
2. That proposed Architectural Review Board case No. 2023 -0031 to allow a 500 student charter middle school at 900 E. Compton Blvd. is in conflict with the General Plan Circulation Element Goal 1 and Policy 1.8.

Re: KIPP Appeal to Planning Commission Re: 900 S. Compton Blvd. School; Architectural Review Board Case No. 23-00031
Honorable Planning Commissioners:
We represent KIPP in connection with the appeal of KIPP’s 900 S. Compton (Project Site) school project (Project) that will be before you tomorrow.
We submitted a letter on July 19, 2023, providing additional Conditions of Approval to address concerns raised by the Commission at the July 12th meeting. As you will see in your Staff Report, these measures address queueing, safety, and community involvement. We are pleased that staff included KIPP’s proposed measures in the Staff Report with some additional provisions. Staff’s changes are acceptable to KIPP with one notable and very important exception: Condition 18.
The significant concern is that a non-standard condition, which is outside the process adopted in the Municipal Code, will make it very difficult for KIPP to obtain financing for the project. KIPP cannot accept that risk. The City’s ability to enforce the Conditions of Approval is already fully addressed in Condition 14 proposed by KIPP, along with the enforcement process in Compton Municipal Code Sections 30-35 – 30-39 (Enforcement Process). The Enforcement Process is discussed in further detail below.
Condition 18 as Proposed by Staff
In your Staff Report, staff added a new proposed Condition 18 to the Conditions of Approval. KIPP understands that staff’s objective with Condition 18 is to ensure an enforcement mechanism. However, as drafted, it is wrong in the details and is not consistent with, and therefore appears to violate, the Municipal Code. Therefore, KIPP cannot agree to this condition as currently drafted.
However, to achieve the same end, KIPP’s proposed Condition 14, when combined with the Municipal Code’s existing enforcement process, makes Condition 18 unnecessary. Unlike
Hon. Planning Commissioners
July 25, 2023
Condition 14, staff’s Condition 18 is not aimed at solving any issues, just penalizing students.
Further, staff’s Condition 18 is wrong in the identification of the specific concern with queuing – as previously demonstrated, there will be no off-site queuing significant impact.
The staff’s Condition 18 is as follows:
If at any time the Director of Community Development determines that the above conditions of approval are not preventing vehicles from repeatedly queuing onto or blocking traffic on Mayo Avenue or Pearl Avenue shall bring back to the Planning Commission this approval of ARB case No. 2023-031 for revocation. (Emphasis added.) As drafted, it applies to any queuing on Pearl or Mayo Avenues. That simply does not make sense. Two cars waiting a minute without blocking an intersection or other traffic is not a problem, let alone a significant impact. Rather, the issue identified all along by staff and the City’s consultant is in connection with queuing that blocks intersections. Similarly, staff’s version of Condition 18 implies that even a few seconds’ delay (again, not a significant impact) with other traffic could trigger enforcement. Finally, it appears to presume that revocation is the only outcome. In fact, the Commission may disagree with staff and/or determine that there are modifications to the Queue Management Plan that would resolve any issues.
A critically important issue is that staff’s Condition 18 appears to violate the Municipal Code’s Enforcement Process. It fails to set out the process for bringing an enforcement action against KIPP. On the other hand, the Municipal Code’s Enforcement Process sets out mandatory provisions that provide due process to KIPP with notice, stated reasons for enforcement, and an appeal process. This is the lawfully adopted process by the Council to provide constitutionally required due process. Further, KIPP believes the Commission should think ahead to the problematic precedent a non-standard process not based on the Municipal Code would set for future projects.
KIPP does not believe that the City has the power to proceed with enforcement without compliance with the Municipal Code as the Enforcement Process is mandatory on both the City and persons against whom enforcement is sought. The Municipal Code provisions for the Enforcement Process are set forth in Attachment A.
Finally, staff’s Condition 18 does not balance enforcement with the significant and detrimental significant impact on students and families if enforcement (i.e., revocation of the School’s permit) is effective during a school year.
KIPP’s Proposed Revised Condition No. 18
Due to these issues, KIPP is proposing a more tailored, appropriate approach consistent with the Municipal Code that would fully accomplish the City’s goal of the right to enforce the Conditions of Approval.
Hon. Planning Commissioners
July 25, 2023
KIPP’s proposal is as follows:
If the Director determines there have been repeated instances that the conditions of approval have not prevented vehicle queueing in a manner that blocks intersections on Mayo Avenue or Pearl Avenue or materially interferes with the flow of non-school related traffic and that no additional or revised measures would resolve the issues, the Community Development Director may initiate the enforcement process set forth in Municipal Code Sections 30-35 to 30-39. Enforcement, if any, that might materially disrupt operation of the school shall not be effective until after the end of the school year in progress to avoid adversely impacting students and their families. (Emphasis added.) Due process requires that all determinations must be based on findings supported by facts that demonstrate actual impacts. As noted above, the concern is not any queuing or minor blockage of traffic. So KIPP proposes that enforcement would be based on blocking intersections or materially impacting non-school traffic. Certainly, enforcement options should include potential additional measures imposed by the Commission.
As for the process, the Municipal Code’s Enforcement Process was enacted to protect everyone—the public, the City, and applicants and property owners, such as KIPP. The City does not have the option to ignore the established, lawful Municipal Code process. As drafted, the City’s version could deprive KIPP of its due process rights. KIPP’s proposal avoids this constitutional infirmity.
The final point is one of fairness and common sense. Revocation during a school year would be very detrimental to Compton students and their families.
Therefore, if the Commission intends to adopt a provision such as Condition 18, KIPP respectfully requests that the Commission adopt KIPP’s proposed version. It fully protects the City while avoiding any impact on KIPP’s access to financing or their due process rights.
KIPP’s version of Condition 18 and all the other proposed conditions in your Staff Report have been updated in a further Revised Findings and Conditions of Approval set forth as Attachment B.
Conclusion
All the work your staff and KIPP have put into proposing Conditions of Approval is a clear indication that denial of the project is not necessary or fair. There is a solution with tough protections and a process to ensure compliance. Yes, it takes a little more consideration than simply saying no. But that is exactly what the Commission is called upon to do. Think through the issues and find a balance that ensures protection of the neighborhood while allowing KIPP to provide a quality education that serves the Compton community. In thinking through the issues, the Commission should impose a workable process in compliance with the Municipal Code’s Enforcement Process.
Hon. Planning Commissioners
July 25, 2023
Based on the foregoing, KIPP respectfully urges the Commission to grant the appeal and adopt the attached Findings and Conditions of Approval, which includes KIPP’s version of Condition 18.
On behalf of KIPP and its families and students, we thank the Commission for its further consideration of this important project.
Very truly yours,
William F. Delvac

REVISED FINDINGS AND CONDITIONS OF APPROVAL
FINDINGS FOR APPROVAL OF APPEAL AND GRANTING APPLICANT’S ARCHITECTURAL
REVIEW BOARD ( ARB) APPLICATION
CASE NO. 23-031
1. The Architectural Review Board determined that the proposed Architectural Review Board application to allow a 500 -student charter middle school at 900 E. Compton Blvd. would be detrimental to the public welfare. The denial of the Project was based on the potential for vehicles queuing onto Compton Boulevard, Mayo Avenue, and Pearl Avenue to block through traffic lanes on these public roads and delay the response time from law enforcement or emergency personnel by having to choose alternative routes. However, with the adoption of the Conditions of Approval including the Queue Management Plan, the Commission has determined that street queueing will not impact the surrounding area.
2. With the adoption of the Conditions of Approval, including the Queue Management Plan, the proposed Architectural Review Board application to allow a 500 -student charter middle school at 900 E. Compton B oulevard would be consistent with the General Plan Circulation Element Goal 1: Provide a street system that meets current and future City needs and that facilitates the safe and efficient movement of people and goods throughout Compton; and Policy 1.8: Provide a street system that allows for the safe and efficient movement of traffic.

Re: KIPP Appeal to Planning Commission Re: 900 S. Compton Blvd. School; Architectural Review Board Case No. 23-00031
Honorable Planning Commissioners:
We represent KIPP in connection with the appeal of KIPP’s 900 S. Compton (Project Site) school project (Project) that is before you tonight.
At the July 12th Commission hearing, Commissioners raised concerns regarding the effectiveness of the queue measures proposed by KIPP, safety concerns, and involvement with the community. As a result, KIPP is proposing additional and strengthened conditions as in proposed Revised Findings and Conditions of Approval set forth in Attachment A.
Queueing Measures
New queue management conditions of approval include:
• Installation of a monitor-controlled exit arm gate within the applicant’s property to control flow onto Pearl Avenue to avoid queueing.
• Installation of right turn directional curbs at the Pearl Avenue exit. • Installation of right turn directional curbs at the Mayo Avenue entrance. • Striping a right turn only lane on Pearl Avenue leading up to Compton Boulevard.
• The monitor at the Pearl Avenue exit shall temporarily hold exiting vehicles on- site through control of the exit gate.
• Prior to operations, the lead staff queuing monitors shall be Caltrans certified as flaggers.
• The certified flaggers shall train and supervise any other monitors. • Mass transit through disseminating information about transit options and, as needed and as financially feasible, provide access to subsidized transit passes.
Hon. Planning Commissioners
July 19, 2023
• Incentives for carpooling have been added to the other incentives already in the Queue Management Plan for bicyclists, walkers, and transit riders.
Note: Conforming changes to the above Conditions of Approval have been made to the revised Queue Management Plan set forth as Attachment 1 to the Revised Findings and Conditions of Approval
Safety Measures
New safety conditions of approval include:
• Site safety improvements at the public right-of-way, including bollards, signage, and beacons, should the City deem it appropriate.
• Exterior mounted lighting and security cameras to be provided, in consultation with the City and County Sheriff’s Department, along the building’s street elevations and in the parking area.
• At least one monitor with appropriate first aid training shall be assigned to oversee student safety during drop-off and pick-up times. • A professionally trained crossing guard during drop-off and pick-up times to allow safe passage across the Compton Boulevard/Mayo Avenue intersection. • If requested by the City, KIPP shall present a comprehensive Lockdown & Secure Campus procedural plan to the City and the County Sheriff’s Department for review and input.
• School drills shall be performed monthly.
Community Outreach
The following new community outreach measures have been included:
• An annual local hire job fair.
• A quarterly community town hall to meet with neighbors and businesses to discuss school operations and answer any questions and concerns.
Review Process
The proposed review process in Condition 14 has been substantially expanded and strengthened to provide the following:
• An additional preliminary compliance report after six months has been added in addition to the early report 30 days after the end of the first month of initial operation.
• At the end of the first year, KIPP must submit a full Compliance Review Report detailing the effectiveness of the Queue Management Plan, any issues with, and
Hon. Planning Commissioners
July 19, 2023
frequency of, queuing on Pearl Avenue, and proposed modifications, if any are needed, to the Queue Management Plan.
• If the Community Development Director determines that the Planning Commission should consider the Compliance Report, or if the Community Development Director and the applicant cannot mutually agree on modifications to the Queue Management Plan, the Commission shall hold a public meeting to review and consider the Compliance Report and provide it to members of the community to comment.
• The Planning Commission may adopt a revised Queue Management Plan with reasonable and necessary modifications, or it may authorize the Community Development Director to resolve modifications based on direction of the Planning Commission.
CONCLUSION
It is easy to just say no. But that means that the community would be deprived a valuable resource and students would lose the opportunity for a quality education at the school.
However, the Commission can and should do better than just saying no. It can join with KIPP to ensure that the queuing will not impact the neighborhood and that the school will operate in a safe manner.
As I said in my last letter, the Commission is in a position to create a true win-win. It can grant the appeal to approve this by right school project while adopting meaningful and effective conditions of approval. .
Based on the foregoing, we respectfully urge the Commission to grant the appeal and adopt the attached Findings and Conditions of Approval.
On behalf of KIPP and its families and students, we thank the Commission for its further consideration of this important project.
Very truly yours,
William F. Delvac

1 Queue Management Plan KIPP Middle School
900 E. Compton Boulevard
This Queue Management Plan has been prepared for the proposed KIPP Middle School at 900 E.
Compton Boulevard in the City of Compton. The purpose of the plan is to ensure the safe and efficient movement of students to and from the KIPP Middle School site , while minimizing the effects to the surrounding community, including current motorists, pedestrians, and bicyclists utilizing Compton Boulevard, Pearl Avenue, and Mayo Avenue.
Site Improvements
• To encourage dispersion of school-related vehicle traffic and minimize effects to the local neighborhood, the school shall utilize the site’s Mayo Avenue driveway for inbound traffic only and the site’s Pearl Avenue driveway for outbound traffic only. Both driveways will be operated for right -turns only: right -turns only from southbound Mayo Avenue to the inbound driveway and right -turns only from the outbound driveway to northbound Pearl Avenue.
• Related to drop -off and pick -up operations, desi gn the site to provide a capacity for a minimum of 15 vehicles queued on-site in a single line from the first drop -off/pick-up position to the Mayo Avenue inbound driveway, and a minimum of 30 vehicles when queued in a double line , if or when needed (in the event vehicles are queuing on Mayo Avenue).
• Related to drop -off and pick -up operations, design the site to provide a capacity for a minimum of six vehicles when queued on-site in a single line from the Pearl Avenue outbound driveway to the first student drop -off/pick/up position, and a minimum of 12 vehicles when queued in a double line, if or when needed. • Provide a separate walk -in entry to the site along Compton Boulevard to facilitate entry and exit by walkers and transit users that is separate from the vehicle driveways on Pearl Avenue and Mayo Avenue.
• Provide a suitable number of bicycle racks onsite to accommodate students and staff who wish to bicycle to and from the school.
• Install a monitor-controlled exit arm gate within the school site to control flow onto Pearl Avenue to avoid queueing.
• Install right turn directional curbs at the Pearl Avenue exit, subject to City specifications and approval.
• Install right turn directional curbs at the Mayo Avenue entrance, subject to City specifications and approval.
• Stripe a right turn only lane on Pearl Avenue leading up to Compton Boulevard, subject to City specifications and approval.
ATTACHMENT 1
2 Offsite Improvements
• Install roadway signage and pavement markings to the satisfaction of the City of Compton, both within the public right-of-way and onsite as needed, which restrict the Mayo Avenue entry driveway and Pearl Avenue exit driveway to right-turn traffic movements only at all times.
• Install a red curb, as well as “No Parking” or “No Stopping” signage, along the site’s Mayo Avenue and Pearl Avenue frontages to the satisfaction of the City of Compton to prevent any off-site queuing.
• If requested by the City of Compto n, install “No Left Turn ” signage on the northbound Pearl Avenue approach to the Compton Boulevard intersection to be effective on school days during the student drop -off and pick -up periods, to the satisfaction of the City of Compton.
Operations/Monitors
• Contact nearby schools on an annual basis for the purpose of providing coordination of student start and dismissal times to avoid overlapping operations, to the extent feasible or necessary.
• At the start of each school year, prepare and distribute the school’s Queue Management Plan to each student, as well as their parents or caregivers. Require students, parents, and caregivers to sign a code of conduct, including a commitment to abide by the provisions of Queue Management Plan.
• Drivers with multiple violations of the Queuing Management Plan rules and pledge shall be required to attend an in-person Parent & Administrator conference to ensure adherence. • Advise parents and caregivers that students arriving and departing in private vehicles shall be dropped-off and picked-up on the school site only for the safety of the students, as well as to minimize effects to the neighborhood streets in the vicinity of the school. • In the event of queueing on Pearl Avenue, advise parents and caregivers to pull as f ar to the right as possible.
• Offer a free early breakfast/early care program for students , commencing at least 45 minutes before the first student start time (for example, if the first student start time is 7:45 a.m., commence the early breakfast/early care program at 7:00 a.m.). Provide sufficient incentives to students to have at least 20% of students participating in t he early breakfast/early care program.
• Implement a minimum of two student start and dismissal times staggered by at least 20 minutes, with an equal number of students arriving and departing in each period . For example, if the first student start time is 7:45 a.m., the second student start time will be no sooner than 8:05 a.m.
• Offer free afterschool programs for students that extend (to the extent feasible) at least one ATTACHMENT 1
3 • Offer free afterschool programs for students that extend (to the extent feasible) at least one hour after the last dismissal time.
• Implement an assigned arrival program divided into a minimum of three stages:
o Free early breakfast/early care program (20% of students): Arrive at school between 6:45 a.m. and 7:15 a.m.
o First student start time (e.g., 40% of students arriving by car): Arrive at school between 7:15 a.m. and 7:45 a.m.
o Second student start time (e.g., 40% of studen ts arriving by car): Arrive at school between 7:45 a.m. and 8:05 a.m.
o Arrival times shall be assigned by grade, with the lower grades assigned to the first time and the upper grades assigned to the second time.
• Utilize a minimum of 10 adult monitors (staff and/or volunteers) during student drop-off and pick-up periods stationed as follows:
o Station six monitors at the on-site student drop -off and pick -up zone to assist students out of and into vehicles, as needed.
o Station one monitor at the school’s Mayo Avenue driveway with the following responsibilities:
▪ Ensure right -turn traffic movements only into the school site from southbound Mayo Avenue;
▪ Ensure students are not dropped-off or picked-up along Mayo Avenue; and ▪ If the onsite queue of vehicles in a single line extends to the Mayo Avenue driveway, direct subsequent inbound vehicles to use the pass -by line to create a temporary double line of queuing onsite.
o Station one , monitor at the school’s Pearl Av enue driveway with the following responsibilities:
▪ Ensure right -turn traffic movements only from the school site onto northbound Pearl Avenue;
▪ Ensure students are not dropped-off or picked-up along Pearl Avenue; and ▪ If the queue of vehicles on northbound P earl Avenue extends to the outbound driveway, temporarily hold exiting vehicles on -site through control of the exit gate and, if needed, direct subsequent outbound vehicles to use the pass-by line to create a temporary double line of queuing onsite. o Station one, monitor at the school’s Compton Boulevard walk -in entry with the following responsibilities:
▪ Ensure students are safely entering and exiting the school site; and ▪ Ensure students are not dropped -off or picked -up along Compton Boulevard.
o Station one, monitor at the Pearl Avenue/Compton Boulevard intersection to ensure that school-related parents and caregivers make right turns only from northbound Pearl Avenue to eastbound Compton Boulevard during the student drop -off and pick-up periods.
ATTACHMENT 1
4 • Prior to operations, the lead staff queuing monitors shall complete a Caltrans authorized certified flagger training (or its equivalent). The certified flaggers shall train and supervise any other monitors.
• The applicant shall offer incentive programs for carpooling among students.

Subject: VEHICLE QUEUEING AND OPERATIONAL ANALYSIS FOR THE KIPP MIDDLE SCHOOL 900 E. COMPTON BLVD, COMPTON, CA
RE: Review by NV5 - Supplemental Information Provided by KIPP/LLG
On May 3, 2023, KIPP/Linscott, Law & Greenspan, Engineers (LLG) submitted to the City the traffic and v ehicle queueing analysis that they performed for other schools in Los Angeles County along with the respective agency responses to their analysis. NV5 has reviewed the supplemental information provided and offers th is response based on the Vehicle Queueing and Operational Analysis provided for the proposed KIPP Middle School (900 E.
Compton Blvd) . It should be noted that in our first review, we requested the vehicle queueing and traffic operational analysis be done w ith a compressed 30-minute period of the arrival and departure trips for both the drop-off and pick-up periods. However, LLG did not compress the drop-off and pick-up period to 30-minutes, even though they did accommodate Los Angeles County’s reque st to compress the drop -off and pick-up period to 30 - minutes for the proposed Charter School at 1318 Potrero Grande Drive. Therefore, these recommendations are based on the analysis done with a drop-off and pick-up period of 60-minutes.
Based on LLG’s analysis, the AM peak drop-off period had more vehicle queueing and traffic operational impacts than the pick-up period. During the drop -off period, t he 95 th percentile peak ingress vehicle queue will be a maximum of 10 vehicles. The proposed site plan shows an onsite ingress queue capacity of 30 vehicles, which is more than enough capacity even to accommodate even a compressed 30-minute drop-off and pick-up period. The analysis calculated an egress queue of 4.8 vehicles for northbound Pearl Avenue at Compton Boulevard. This queue could extend to the project driveway on Pearl Avenue if the drop-off period was compressed to 30-minutes, which could increase the ingress queue and some vehicles exiting the Pearl Avenue driveway may choose to turn left to avoid the northbound queue on Pearl Avenue. The delay on northbound Pearl Avenue at Compton Boulevard during the drop -off period will be 27 seconds/vehicle, which is a LOS D. This delay could increase to a LOS E if analyzed using the 30 -minute compressed drop -off pe riod. To address the egress queueing and operational concerns on northbound Pearl Avenue at Compton Boulevard without further analysis and minimize any additional traffic impacts, it is recommended that the project shall adhere to the conditions listed below:
Site Access Requirements
• The site shall accommodate the capacity of at least 15 vehicles in queue and able to accommodate up to 30 vehicles in queue if needed during peak drop-off and pick-up periods. • The site shall provide ingress via right turn only from Mayo Avenue and egress via right turn only onto Pearl Avenue during the drop-off and pick-up hours.
• The site shall restrict left turn egress from the driveway on Pearl Avenue and restrict northbound left turns on Pearl Avenue at Compton Boulevard during the drop-off and pick-up hours.
WWW.NV5.com
Site Procedures
• To ensure that the right turn only ingress and egress movement is followed and that expected peak hour vehicle queues are accommodated on -site, the project applicant shall provide staff (10 minimum) to monitor and direct vehicle traffic during the drop -off and pick-up periods and to assist students crossing adjacent streets and the project driveways.
• The project shall install and maintain signs at the ingress and egress driveways indicating the turning restrictions during the drop -off and pick-up period. Also, the project shall install No Left Turn restriction signs for northbound Pearl Avenue at Compton Boulevard with time restrictions during the drop-off and pick-up periods.
• The start and dismissal time of the middle school shall be staggered by a minimum of 20 minutes.
Please let me know if you have any questions or comments.

Response to City’s Architectural Review Board Decision Related to the Proposed KIPP Compton Middle School
City Reference ARB Case No. 23-00032: 900 E. Compton Boulevard
This memorandum has been prepared by Linscott, Law & Greenspan, Engineers (LLG) to provide responses to the letter
1 (the “ARB letter”) issued by Robert
Delgadillo on behalf of the City’s Architectural Re view Board (ARB) related to the proposed middle school project (the “Project”) at 9 00 E. Compton Boulevard (the “Project Site”). As you recall, LLG prepared a tra nsportation study 2 for the Project.
In addition, LLG recently prepared a memorandum 3 providing responses to the comments to LLG’s transportation study as issued by City of Compton’s Public Works Department and its contract traffic consultant NV5 in March 2023.
LLG disagrees with the ARB’s decision to deny the P roject on the basis of the expected vehicular traffic at the Project Site. We note that in none of the prior comments of the City or its traffic consultant NV5 was compliance with drive- through facility requirements ever mentioned.
It is noted in the ARB letter that the decision to deny the Project was not necessarily based on the forecast operations of the onsite student drop-off/pick-up plan, but rather related to “off-site” traffic operations on Mayo Av enue, Pearl Avenue, and Compton Boulevard. The ARB letter cites Municipal Code Sec tion 30-21.8.d which expressly relates to drive-through facilities. From the vario us factors that ARB may consider, it is clear the provision relates only to food facilit ies (See Section 30-21.8.d.(3a& b)), and therefore would not be applicable to the Projec t (a proposed charter middle school).
Assuming only for the sake of argument that the sec tion may apply to the Project, the
Project would satisfy the requirements of Code Sect ion 30-21.8.d.1 and 2. (see, for example, Figure 2 in LLG’s transportation study). In addition, the factors that may be relevant in Section 30-21.8.d.3(c-f) along with 30-21.8.d.1 are all thoroughly addressed in our submissions.

30-21.8.d.3(c) (Processing rate). As stated on pag e 7 of LLG’s transportation study, the onsite vehicle queueing study assumes ea ch monitor assisting with drop-off and pick-up can process one vehicle per mi nute. A total of four monitors are recommended in the transportation study.
30-21.8.d.3(d) ( Arrival rate). As stated on page 7 of LLG’s transp ortation study, an hourly arrival rate of 162 vehicles durin g the morning drop-off period was assumed. This hourly arrival rate was c onservatively increased to 250 vehicles in the supplemental analysis provided within LLG’s response memorandum based on the comments from Public Works/ NV5 to not account for the effects of the staggering of student start/ dismissal times, or the trip reducing effects related to students taking public transit or walking to school.
30-21.d.3(e) (Peak demand periods). As discussed o n page 6 of LLG’s transportation study, the peak time periods related to onsite vehicle queuing are during the morning student drop-off and afterno on student pick-up periods. The morning drop-off is the focus of the analysis as this time period generates more vehicle traffic than the afternoon p ick-up as demonstrated by the trip generation forecast provided in Table 1 wi thin LLG’s transportation study.
30-21.8.d.3(f) (Anticipated vehicular stacking). P ages 7 and 8 of LLG’s transportation study report that the M/M/s queuing model forecasts a 95 th percentile vehicle queue of eight vehicles onsite d uring the morning drop-off period. When compared to the proposed stacking len gth which can accommodate 15 vehicles in a single line on the Pro ject Site (or up to 30 vehicles using a double line if needed), it is conc luded that the peak vehicle queue can be accommodated onsite during the morning drop-off period.
Further, based on the supplemental analysis provide d within the LLG response memorandum, including the use of a more co nservative trip generation forecast for the Project, the peak onsit e vehicle queue during morning drop-off is estimated at 10 vehicles, which can be accommodated by the onsite queuing capacity of 15 vehicles.
Finally, in review of listed factors for considerat ion of drive-through facilities provided in the ARB letter, expected offsite traffi c operations are not an item for consideration in reviewing projects with drive-through operations.
Nevertheless, LLG’s transportation study and the re cently submitted responses to the Public Works/NV5 comments provide an extensive and highly conservative (“worst case”) review of traffic operations both onsite, as well as offsite at the Mayo Avenue / Compton Boulevard and Pearl Avenue / Compton Boulev ard intersections.
Specifically, LLG’s response memorandum provides a supplemental transportation Robert Delgadillo
June 27, 2023
U:\0594\corres\LLG Response to City ARB Letter (06.27.23).docx analysis incorporating all the comments/assumptions requested by Public Works/NV5 (with one exception as discussed below). This supp lemental analysis – similar to LLG’s original transportation study – concludes that:
• all vehicle queuing related to student drop-off/pic k-up can be accommodated onsite and will not result in vehicles queuing from the site onto Mayo Avenue; and
• vehicle queues on northbound Pearl Avenue will not extend from Compton Boulevard to the Project Site driveway, and therefo re will not adversely affect onsite drop-off/pick-up operations.
LLG strongly disagrees with one comment from Public Works/NV5 related to their assertion that all vehicle trips related to the stu dent drop-off and pick-up periods will occur within a 30-minute timeframe in the morning a nd afternoon. As detailed in LLG’s response memorandum, it is expected that vehi cle trips at the Project will occur over a longer period of time (i.e., a 90-minu te period) taking into consideration factors such as: 1) the staggering of student start and dismissal times by at least 20 minutes; 2) an early breakfast/early care program a vailable for students beginning at least 45 minutes before the start of school; and 3) the availability of after-school programs for students extending at least one hour a fter the last dismissal time.
Conservatively, LLG relied on trip generation rates for charter schools published by the national Institute of Transportation Engineers (ITE) for evaluating potential vehicle trips arriving and departing the Project Si te, even though the ITE database of school sites evaluated likely does not include trip -dispersing programs such as staggered start/dismissal times, as well as before and after school programs.
Finally, as noted in LLG’s transportation study and restated in the response memorandum, the vehicle queueing results reported f or both onsite and offsite study locations are for the 95
th percentile period, representing the highest 5% (or
approximately three minutes) of the peak hours eval uated. Vehicle queues at other times during the evaluated peak hours, as well as t hroughout other times of the day will be less than the values reported in LLG’s tran sportation study and response memorandum.

Response to City Comments to LLG’s Transportation Study for the Proposed KIPP Compton Middle School
City Reference ARB Case No. 23-00031: 900 E. Compton Boulevard
This memorandum has been prepared by Linscott, Law & Greenspan, Engineers (LLG) to provide responses to the comments
1 prepared by the City of Compton’s
Public Works Department and its contract traffic co nsultant NV5 (the “comment letter”) to the transportation study 2 prepared by LLG for the proposed middle school project (the “Project”) at 900 E. Compton Boulevard (the “Project Site”).
A total of nine (9) comments were provided in the c omment letter by Public Works/NV5. For ease of reference, the comments are restated below in italics text and a response provided following each comment.
City Comment No. 1:
Vehicular Project Site Access - The Project propose s driveway access on both Pearl Avenue and Mayo Avenue. Both driveways will be at t he southern end of the project site, which is ideal to provide the maximum distanc e away from both intersections at Compton Boulevard. Therefore, the proposed driveway locations are acceptable.
However, the proposed width of the driveway aprons are only 16- feet, which is only able to accommodate one-way traffic, but the parkin g lot configuration is designed for two-way traffic at both driveways. Therefore, b oth driveway aprons shall have a width of 24-feet to accommodate two-way traffic.
LLG Response to Comment No. 1:
LLG understands the Project architect (Franco Archi tects) will update the Project site plans to indicate driveway aprons of 24 feet for bo th Project driveways as requested in the comment letter. See Response to Comments Se cond Submittal Package, Attachment Drawing A.05.

U:\0594\corres\LLG Responses to City Comments (06.23.23).docx
City Comment No. 2:
Student Drop-Off/Pick-Up Operational Plan - The pro posed right-turn only ingress and egress operation may not be adhered to during e gress on Pearl Avenue at Compton Boulevard, because the traffic monitors are not able to legally direct traffic on Public Streets, so there will be some motorists still making a left turn from Pearl Avenue to Compton Boulevard that will increase dela y at this intersection. This will cause a queue to form on northbound Pearl Avenue at Compton Boulevard that will reduce the drop-off/pickup rate and cause the ingre ss queue to increase. Onsite Vehicle Queueing Capacity - Even with the staggered start times of 7:45AM and 8:05AM, most of the vehicle trips will be made betw een 7:30AM and 8:00AM (not dispersed evenly over a 60-minute period as stated in the Analysis.) Therefore, the queueing capacity needs to be analyzed with almost all the project vehicle trips occurring within this 30-minute period.
LLG Response to Comment No. 2:
As stated in LLG’s transportation study, KIPP will distribute the school’s drop- off/pick-up operational plan to parents and caregiv ers at the beginning of each school year. Parents and caregivers will be required to r eview and acknowledge acceptance of the plan by signature, including the requirement to turn right from northbound Pearl Avenue to eastbound Compton Boulevard upon exit.
Regarding the timeframe as to when vehicle trips wi ll arrive and depart the Project Site, the comment letter does not provide any data to support the assertion in Comment No. 2 that “…most of the vehicle trips will be made between 7:30 AM and 8:00 AM…” even though the school will stagger the student start and dismissal times.
Further, while not stated in the transportation stu dy, the school will provide an early breakfast/early care program for students, beginnin g at 7:00 a.m. Thus, the likely profile of vehicle trips at the school will be as follows:
• Staff will arrive at the school in the 6:00 to 7:00 a.m. timeframe in support of the early breakfast/early care program;
• Parents/caregivers will likely begin arriving at th e school at 6:45 a.m. for the early breakfast/early care program;
• For the 7:45 a.m. start time, parents/caregivers wi ll likely drop-off students beginning at 7:15 a.m., with the last vehicles leav ing the school site at around 7:55 a.m.; and
Robert Delgadillo
June 23, 2023
U:\0594\corres\LLG Responses to City Comments (06.23.23).docx • For the 8:05 a.m. start time, parents/caregivers wi ll likely drop-off students beginning at 7:35 a.m., with the last vehicles leav ing the school site at around 8:15 a.m.
As demonstrated above, school-related vehicle trips will occur over a two-hour period in the morning, with the highest concentration of vehicle trips occurring between 6:45 and 8:15 a.m. (i.e., a 90-minute period).
Finally, it is noted that the trip generation analy sis provided in the transportation study is based on trip generation data published by the Institute of Transportation Engineers (ITE)
3 for charter schools. The trip rates in the ITE ma nual are based on driveway traffic counts conducted at existing chart er schools. Further, the trip rates for the morning period specifically state they are for a “Weekday, Peak Hour of Adjacent Street Traffic, One Hour Between 7 and 9 a .m.” and not for a 30-minute period as suggested in the comment letter. ITE is the industry standard for providing trig generation forecasts used in transportation studies.
Regarding trip distribution at the Pearl Avenue / C ompton Boulevard intersection, as requested in the comment letter in Comment No. 7 be low, a supplemental analysis has been prepared by LLG which includes a revision to the Project trip distribution to assume 10% of outbound vehicles will turn left from northbound Pearl Avenue onto westbound Compton Boulevard instead of the prior as sumption in the transportation study that all Project vehicles would turn right on to eastbound Compton Boulevard (see revised Figure 5 attached to this memorandum).
Further, in response to Comment No. 3 below, the su pplemental analysis conservatively (“worst case”) does not assume any r eduction/adjustment to the school’s forecast peak hour vehicle trip generation related to the proposed staggering of student start and dismissal times, the likely us e of public transit by students or staff, or the effect of the relatively high proport ion of students expected to walk to school. Additionally, in response to Comment No. 5 below, the forecast assignment of vehicle trips has been updated to 50%/50% to the east and west for use in the supplemental analysis.
As shown on the revised Table 2 attached to this me morandum, the supplemental analysis results in the forecast maximum back of qu eue length to be 120 feet on the northbound Pearl Avenue approach to the Compton Bou levard intersection. As the Project’s outbound driveway will be located approxi mately 165 feet south of the intersection, contrary to speculation in the Commen t No. 2 above, queuing vehicles on northbound Pearl Avenue will not block or otherw ise interfere with vehicles exiting the Project Site.

June 23, 2023
U:\0594\corres\LLG Responses to City Comments (06.23.23).docx It is noted that the forecast queue listed in Table 2 is for the 95 th percentile; that is, the reported vehicle queue is at the highest 5% (or app roximately 3 minutes during a 60- minute peak hour). During the remainder of the peak hour, the vehicle queues will be less than what is reported in Table 2.
The onsite vehicle queuing analysis related to stud ent drop-off and pick-up has been updated based on the trip generation comments provi ded below in Comment No. 3.
Based on this supplemental analysis, the average on site vehicle queue is expected to be five vehicles, and the forecast peak queue (95
th percentile) is 10 vehicles. As
stated in the transportation study, the school’s on site drop-off/pick-up area can accommodate 15 vehicles in a single line (with capa city for an additional 15 vehicles if queued in a double line). Therefore, even under the worst-case trip generation assumptions requested in Comment No. 3 (no adjustme nt for student staggering and no adjustment for students walking to school or uti lizing public transit), the forecast onsite peak vehicle queues associated with student drop-off and pick-up can be readily accommodated onsite.
City Comment No. 3:
Project Trip Generation - The analysis reduced the Project trips by 25%, because of the 20-minute staggered schedule, but this will not decrease the number of trips, but will only spread out the trips over a 30-minute per iod instead of a 15-minute period.
The trips were reduced by another 25% due to studen ts taking transit or walking to school, but the ITE Trip Generation rate is based o n surveys of schools of actual vehicle trips generated that is in addition to a pe rcentage of students taking transit and walk to school. Therefore, no reduction in proj ect vehicle trips due to the staggered schedule or for students taking transit or walking to school.
LLG Response to Comment No. 3:
See Response to Comment No. 2. The project trip ge neration forecast has been updated accordingly to remove the adjustments relat ed to the staggering of student start and dismissal times, as well as students taki ng public transit to school in lieu of travel via a private automobile. See revised Table 1.
As noted in the transportation study and in the Res ponse to Comment No. 2 above, the trip generation forecasts are based on ITE trip rates for charter schools. The land uses evaluated by ITE are typically located in subu rban locations, where most trips are made by private vehicles, and relatively few tr ips made by public transit or walking. Thus, it is reasonable to expect that the ITE trip generation rates for charter schools in more urban environments like Compton do not consider the vehicle trip- reducing effects of students (and staff) walking
4 or taking public transit to school.
4 KIPP expects that approximately half of the studen ts at the Project will walk to school.

U:\0594\corres\LLG Responses to City Comments (06.23.23).docx Further, the staggering of start and dismissal time s is not typical at most schools, and therefore it is also reasonable to expect that the schools evaluated by ITE did not implement staggered schedules. Thus, it is highly conservative (“worst case”) to prepare a trip generation forecast for this project without adjustment related to staggered start/dismissal times, or the vehicle tri p-reducing effects of students walking or utilizing public transit.
The revised Table 1 reflects the “worst case” assum ptions requested in the comment letter by not including any adjustments related to the staggering of student start and dismissal times, as well as students not taking pub lic transit to school or walking in lieu of travel via a private automobile. As previo usly stated, the revised trip generation forecast in Table 1 was used in the upda ted vehicle provided in the revised Table 2 attached to this memorandum.
City Comment No. 4:
Estimated Onsite Peak Vehicle Queue - The peak vehi cle queue analysis used does not seem to accurately forecast the vehicle queuein g during the drop-off period, because the vehicle queues observed during the drop -off period at the existing KIPP Compton Charter School on 134
th Street are up to 40 vehicles. This is with a simila r right-turn ingress and egress operation on local st reets that have significantly less traffic than Compton Boulevard. Therefore, the anal ysis needs to look at the existing KIPP Compton School existing queues observed at wha t time and determine what is causing the queue. The analysis needs to show what are the causes for the queueing at the existing KIPP Compton School and show how th ese causes will be mitigated for the proposed KIPP Compton
LLG Response to Comment No. 4:
The existing KIPP Compton Community School is an el ementary school located at the end of a narrow cul-de-sac street (Water Way) s outh of 134 th Street. There are
numerous differences between the existing Compton C ommunity School and the Project, including:
• Age of Students: The Project proposes a middle sch ool whereas the existing Compton Community School serves elementary school s tudents (TK through 5th grade). The relatively younger age of students at the Compton Community School likely contributes to greater potential vehi cle queuing as compared to what is forecast at the Project including:
o Elementary school students are less likely to walk to school or utilize public transportation as compared to middle school students.

U:\0594\corres\LLG Responses to City Comments (06.23.23).docx o Elementary school students require more time to ent er and exit vehicles as compared to middle school students beca use of factors such as younger students using car seats/booster seats.
• Dispersion of Traffic: The location of the Compton Community School requires all vehicles to utilize one street (Water Way) to enter and exit the school site. By comparison, the Project Site front s on two separate streets (Mayo Avenue for vehicle entry and Pearl Avenue for vehicle exit) which allows for the geographic dispersion of vehicles ap proaching and departing the site, thereby reducing potential vehicle congestion.
• More Efficient Drop-Off at Project: The Project pr oposes on-site (off-street) student drop-off and pick-up. As stated in the tra nsportation study, the school’s onsite drop-off/pick-up area can accommodate 15 vehicles in a single line (with capacity for an additional 15 vehicles i f queued in a double line).
By contrast, the Compton Community School only has an on-street curbside student drop-off and pick-up. Approximately eight vehicles can queue along the easterly curb of Water Way adjacent to school b efore vehicles are routed through the adjacent parking lot.
• Staggering of Student Start/Dismissal Times: The P roject proposes to stagger the start and dismissal times of middle school stud ents, thereby dispersing the time that vehicles would arrive and depart the Proj ect Site. By contrast, there currently is no staggering of student start/dismiss al times at Compton Community School.
In summary, the vehicle queuing issues asserted in the comment at the existing Compton Community School are unique to that site an d are not expected at the Project.
City Comment No. 5:
Project Trip Assignment - The Project trip distribu tion shows 60% of the ingress traffic coming from the east, 35% coming from the w est and 5% coming from the north. However, the analysis gives no justification for the disparity between the percentage of trips coming from the west versus the percentage of trips coming from the east. Unless there is justification provided fo r this disparity, the trip distribution between trips coming from the east and west should be equal or close to it.
LLG Response to Comment No. 5:
See Response to Comment No. 2. The project trip as signment has been updated accordingly. See revised Figure 5.

U:\0594\corres\LLG Responses to City Comments (06.23.23).docx City Comment No. 6:
Traffic Volume Forecast - Project traffic volumes u sed for the forecast shall be the Project trips without any reduction. Also, almost a ll the Project vehicle trips shall be distributed between the period of 7:30AM and 8:00AM and for a 30-minute period near the Dismissal time.
LLG Response to Comment No. 6:
See Response to Comment No. 2. As stated in Respon se to Comment No., 2, Project vehicle trips will occur over a two-hour period in the morning as a result of the school’s early breakfast/early care program and the staggering of student start times, with the highest concentration of vehicle trips occ urring between 6:45 and 8:15 a.m. (i.e., a 90-minute period). A similar dispersion o f vehicle trips (i.e., over a 90-minute or longer timeframe) is expected during the afterno on dismissal period because of the staggering of student dismissal times, as well as a fterschool programs that will be offered at the Project. The comment letter does not provide any data to support the assertion that all school-related trips will occur within a 30-minute window during the student arrival and departure periods.
As further noted in Response to Comment No. 2, the forecast vehicle queues listed in the revised Table 2 is for the 95
th percentile; that is, the reported vehicle queues a re the highest 5% (or approximately 3 minutes) of acti vity during a 60-minute peak hour. During the remainder of the peak hour, the v ehicle queues will be less than what is reported in Table 2. Thus, for northbound Pearl Avenue approaching Compton Boulevard, the forecast vehicle queue is on ly expected for approximately 3 minutes during the AM peak hour. The vehicle queue will be less than 120 feet for the remaining 57 minutes of the peak hour.
Similarly, the updated onsite vehicle queuing analy sis indicates a forecast peak queue (95
th percentile) of 10 vehicles. As stated in the tran sportation study, the school’s onsite drop-off/pick-up area can accommodate 15 veh icles in a single line (with capacity for an additional 15 vehicles if queued in a double line). Therefore, even under the worst-case trip generation assumptions re quested in Comment No. 3 (no adjustment for student staggering and no adjustment for students walking to school or utilizing public transit), the forecast onsite peak vehicle queues associated with student drop-off can be readily accommodated onsite . As the vehicle queueing studies report the 95 th percentile (highest 3 minutes) vehicle queue lengths, there is no need to evaluate operations over a 30-minute as requested in the comment letter.

U:\0594\corres\LLG Responses to City Comments (06.23.23).docx City Comment No. 7:
Operational Analysis - The queue analysis and the t raffic impact analysis at the intersections need to be redone with no reduction t o the project trips. The disparity in the trip distribution needs to be corrected, unless justification for the disparity is provided. The analysis shall be done with almost al l the project trips generated between 7:30AM and 8:00AM and most of the project t rips distributed over a 30- minute period near the Dismissal time. The traffic impact analysis at the intersection of Pearl Avenue and Compton Boulevard needs to rean alyzed showing 10% of the egress trips on northbound Pearl Avenue at Compton Boulevard still making a left turn or through movements. This increased delay for northbound Pearl Avenue at Compton Boulevard also needs to be factored into th e estimated onsite peak vehicle queue analysis.
LLG Response to Comment No. 7:
See Response to Comment Nos. 2 and 6. As previousl y stated in Response to Comment No. 2, based on the supplemental analysis, vehicle queues on northbound Pearl Avenue will not extend to the school’s outbound driveway as otherwise asserted in the comment letter.
City Comment No. 8:
Charter School with significantly more traffic volu mes on Compton Boulevard (increased delay) factored into the analysis. Also, the peak vehicle queue analysis was done using the reduced project trips, which is not justified as previously stated and the analysis evenly dispersed the vehicle trips over a 60-minute period when almost all the vehicle trips will be dispersed over the 30-minute period of 7:30AM and 8:00AM. Therefore, the onsite peak vehicle queu e needs to be re-analyzed with no reduction in the project vehicle trips with most of the trips arriving between the 30-minute period of 7:30AM and 8:00AM. The analysis also needs to consider the delay for northbound right turn traffic on Pearl Av enue at Compton Boulevard that may cause the vehicle queue to extend to the Project driveway that will slow down the egress rate and cause the ingress queue to increase.
LLG Response to Comment No. 8:
This comment is similar to the statements provided in Comment No. 7. Therefore, see Response to Comment No. 7. As previously state d in Response to Comment No. 2, based on the supplemental analysis, vehicle queu es on northbound Pearl Avenue will not extend to the school’s outbound driveway a s otherwise asserted in the comment letter. Therefore, the onsite student drop -off/pick-up operations at the Project Site will not be affected by traffic operat ions at the Pearl Avenue / Compton Boulevard intersection as incorrectly asserted in the comment letter.

[3] Signalized Intersection Levels of Service were based on the following criteria: Unsignalized Intersection Levels of Serv ice were based on the following criteria:
Control Delay (s/veh)
LOS Control Delay (s/veh) LOS
<= 10 A <= 10 A

[4] The 95th percentile queue is the maximum back of queue with 95th percentile traffic volumes. The HCM 7th Edition methodolog y worksheets report queues in number of vehicles, however an average vehicle length of 25 feet was assumed for analysis purposes.
The reported queues therefore represent the calculated maximum back of queue in feet. [5] Represents the change in calculated maximum back of queue (in feet) due to the addition of Project-related traffic.

HCM AND LEVELS OF SERVICE EXPLANATION
HCM DATA WORKSHEETS – WEEKDAY AM, DISMISSAL,
AND PM PEAK HOURS
LEVEL OF SERVICE FOR SIGNALIZED INTERSECTIONS
In the Highway Capacity Manual (HCM), published by the Transportation Research Board, 2010, level of service for signalized intersections is defined in terms of delay, which is a measure of driver discomfort, frustration, fuel consumption, and increased travel time. The delay experienced by a motorist is made up of a number of factors that relate to control, geometrics, traffic, and incidents. Total delay is the difference between the travel time actually experienced and the reference travel time that would result during base conditions: in the absence of traffic control, in the absence of geometric delay, in the absence of incidents, and when there are no other vehicles on the road. Only the portion of total delay attributed to the control facility is quantified. This delay is called control delay. Control delay includes initial deceleration delay, queue move-up time, stopped delay, and final acceleration delay.
Level of Service criteria for traffic signals are stated in terms of the average control delay per vehicle. Delay is a complex measure and is dependent on a number of variables, including the quality of progression, the cycle length, the green ratio, and the v/c ratio for the lane group in question.
Level of Service Criteria for Signalized Intersections
Level of Service Control Delay (Sec/Veh)
A ≤ 10
B > 10 and ≤ 20
C > 20 and ≤ 35
D > 35 and ≤ 55
E > 55 and ≤ 80
F > 80
Level of Service (LOS) values are used to describe intersection operations with service levels varying from LOS A (free flow) to LOS F (jammed condition). The following descriptions summarize HCM criteria for each level of service:
LOS A describes operations with very low control delay, up to 10 seconds per vehicle. This level of service occurs when progression is extremely favorable and most vehicles arrive during the green phase. Most vehicles do not stop at all. Short cycle lengths may also contribute to low delay values.
LOS B describes operations with control delay greater than 10 and up to 20 seconds per vehicle. This level generally occurs with good progression, short cycle lengths, or both. More vehicles stop than with LOS A, causing higher levels of delay.
LOS C describes operations with control delay greater than 20 and up to 35 seconds per vehicle. These higher delays may result from fair progression, longer cycle lengths, or both. Individual cycle failures may begin to appear at this level. The number of vehicles stopping is significant at this level, though many still pass through the intersection without stopping.
LOS D describes operations with control delay greater than 35 and up to 55 seconds per vehicle. At LOS D, the influence of congestion becomes more noticeable. Longer delays may result from some combination of unfavorable progression, long cycle lengths, or high v/c ratios. Many vehicles stop, and the proportion of vehicles not stopping declines. Individual cycle failures are noticeable.
LOS E describes operations with control delay greater than 55 and up to 80 seconds per vehicle. This level is considered by many agencies to be the limit of acceptable delay. These high delay values generally indicate poor progression, long cycle lengths, and high v/c ratios. Individual cycle failures are frequent occurrences.
LOS F describes operations with control delay in excess of 80 seconds per vehicle. This level, considered to be unacceptable to most drivers, often occurs with oversaturation, that is, when arrival flow rates exceed the capacity of the lane groups. It may also occur at high v/c ratios with many individual cycle failures. Poor progression and long cycle lengths may also be major contributing factors to such delay levels.
LEVEL OF SERVICE FOR UNSIGNALIZED INTERSECTIONS
In the Highway Capacity Manual (HCM), published by the Transportation Research Board, 2010, level of service for unsignalized intersections is defined in terms of delay, which is a measure of driver discomfort, frustration, fuel consumption, and lost travel time. The delay experienced by a motorist is made up of a number of factors that relate to control, geometrics, traffic, and incidents. Total delay is the difference between the travel time actually experienced and the reference travel time that would result during base conditions, in the absence of incidents, control, traffic, or geometric delay. Only the portion of total delay attributed to the traffic control measures, either traffic signals or stop signs, is quantified. This delay is called control delay. Control delay includes initial deceleration delay, queue move-up time, stopped delay, and final acceleration delay.
Level of Service criteria for unsignalized intersections are stated in terms of the average control delay per vehicle. The level of service is determined by the computed or measured control delay and is defined for each minor movement. Average control delay for any particular minor movement is a function of the service time for the approach and the degree of utilization. (Level of service is not defined for the intersection as a whole for two-way stop controlled intersections.)
Level of Service Criteria for TWSC/AWSC Intersections
Level of Service
Average Control Delay
(Sec/Veh)
A ≤ 10
B > 10 and ≤ 15
C > 15 and ≤ 25
D > 25 and ≤ 35
E > 35 and ≤ 50
F > 50
Level of Service (LOS) values are used to describe intersection operations with service levels varying from LOS A (free flow) to LOS F (jammed condition). The following descriptions summarize HCM criteria for each level of service:
LOS A describes operations with very low control delay, up to 10 seconds per vehicle.
LOS B describes operations with control delay greater than 10 and up to 15 seconds per vehicle.
LOS C describes operations with control delay greater than 15 and up to 25 seconds per vehicle.
LOS D describes operations with control delay greater than 25 and up to 35 seconds per vehicle.
LOS E describes operations with control delay greater than 35 and up to 50 seconds per vehicle.
LOS F describes operations with control delay in excess of 50 seconds per vehicle. For two-way stop controlled intersections, LOS F exists when there are insufficient gaps of suitable size to allow side-street demand to safely cross through a major-street traffic stream. This level of service is generally evident from extremely long control delays experienced by side-street traffic and by queuing on the minor-street approaches.

Subject: VEHICLE QUEUEING AND OPERATIONAL ANALYSIS FOR THE KIPP COMPTON MIDDLE SCHOOL Architectural Review Board (ARB) Case No. 23-00031: 900 E. COMPTON BLVD, COMPTON – Second Submittal
RE: Second Review by NV5

Second Review Comments (in blue) to LLG’s responses (in red)
1. Vehicular Project Site Access - The Project proposes driveway access on both Pearl Avenue and Mayo Avenue. Both driveways will be at the southern end of the project site, which is ideal to provide the maximum distance away from both intersections at Compton Boulevard. Therefore, the proposed driveway locations are acceptable. However, the proposed width of the driveway aprons are only 16- feet, which is only able to accommodate one-way traffic, but the parking lot configuration is designed for two-way traffic at both driveways. Therefore, both driveway aprons shall have a width of 24-feet to accommodate two-way traffic.
LLG: Franco to update driveway aprons to 24 feet. FAI: Both driveways’ aprons are revised to 24’, see A0.5.
Student Drop-Off/Pick-Up Operational Plan - The proposed right-turn only ingress and egress operation may not be adhered to during egress on Pearl Avenue at Compton Boulevard, because the traffic monitors are not able to legally direct traffic on Public Streets, so there will be some motorists still making a left turn from Pearl Avenue to Compton Boulevard that will increase delay at this intersection. This will cause a queue to form on northbound Pearl Avenue at Compton Boulevard that will reduce the drop-off/pickup rate and cause the ingress queue to increase. Onsite Vehicle Queueing Capacity - Even with the staggered start times of 7:45AM and 8:05AM, most of the vehicle trips will be made between 7:30AM and 8:00AM (not dispersed evenly over a 60-minute period as stated in the Analysis.) Therefore, the queueing capacity needs to be analyzed with almost all the project vehicle trips occurring within this 30-minute period.
LLG: As stated in LLG’s report1 KIPP will distribute the school’s drop-off/pick-up operational plan to parents and caregivers at the beginning of each school year. Parents and caregivers will be required to review and acknowledge acceptance of the plan by signature, including the requirement to turn right from northbound Pearl Avenue to eastbound Compton Boulevard upon exit.
However, as requested in comment, a supplemental analysis has been prepared by LLG which includes a revision to the Project Trip Distribution assume 10% of outbound vehicles will turn left from northbound Mayo Avenue onto westbound Compton Boulevard (see revised Figure 5). The updated intersection operations analysis is based on the assumption that 10% of vehicles will turn left from northbound Mayo Avenue onto westbound Compton Boulevard. Further, in response to Comment No. 3 below, the supplemental analysis conservatively (worst case) does not assume any reduction/adjustment to the school’s forecast peak hour vehicle trip generation related to the proposed staggering of student start and dismissal times, or the effect of the relatively high proportion of students expected to walk to school. Additionally, in response to Comment No. 5 below, the forecast assignment of vehicle trips has been updated to 50%/50% to the east and west for use in the supplemental analysis.
As shown on the revised Table 2, the supplemental analysis results in the maximum back of queue length forecast to be 120 feet on the northbound Mayo Avenue approach to the Compton Boulevard intersection. As the Project’s outbound driveway will be located approximately 165 feet south of the intersection, contrary to speculation in the comment above, queuing vehicles on northbound Mayo Avenue will not block or otherwise interfere with vehicles exiting the Project Site.
As stated in LLG’s report (page 5), the school will open up its gates 45 minutes prior to start and dismissal. This will allow parents and caregivers to arrive at the site over a greater period of time and disperse trips during the peak hour. LLG believes that analyzing trips over a one-hour time period is WWW.NV5.com
appropriate.
The onsite vehicle queuing analysis related to student drop-off and pick-up has been updated based on the trip generation comments provided below in Comment No. 3. Based on this supplemental analysis, the average onsite vehicle queue is expected to be five vehicles, and the forecast peak queue (95th percentile) is 10 vehicles. As stated in the LLG report, the school’s onsite drop-off/pick-up area can accommodate 15 vehicles in a single line (with capacity for an additional 15 vehicles if queued in a double line). If necessary, there is a total capacity for 44 vehicles to be accommodated onsite.
Therefore, even under the worst-case trip generation assumptions requested in Comment No. 3 (no adjustment for student staggering and no adjustment for students walking to school), the forecast onsite peak vehicle queues associated with student drop-off and pick-up can be readily accommodated onsite.
NV5: Most parents do not drop off students evenly over a one-hour period. Typically, the drop-off period is highly concentrated over a 15–20-minute period, which is why there are large queues experienced at schools, especially during the AM drop off period. As previously stated in the 1st review, a survey of the existing KIPP School would need to be done to see what time period most of the trips to the school occur during the AM drop off period; otherwise, the 30-minute drop off period will need to be used for this analysis. The analysis mentions the ingress queue with the two service lanes, but the queue problem is not during the ingress, but the egress when the two lanes merge into one. With only one egress lane with significant 27 sec/veh delay on Pearl Street at Compton Boulevard even with the drop off period of 60 min, this delay will significantly increase if analyzed over a 30-minute period.
This delay on Pearl Street at Compton Boulevard will impact the ingress traffic because the egress will not be able to keep up with the rate of the two-lane ingress drop off, which will cause delay to the ingress traffic, so the ingress queue will increase. The queue analysis needs to be done using the delay on northbound Pearl Street at Compton Boulevard as the service rate used for the queue analysis. LOS analysis at both intersections will need to be done with most of the project trips allocated over a 30- minute period between 7:30AM to 8:00AM.
Project Trip Generation - The analysis reduced the Project trips by 25%, because of the 20- minute staggered schedule, but this will not decrease the number of trips, but will only spread out the trips over a 30-minute period instead of a 15-minute period. The trips were reduced by another 25% due to students taking transit or walking to school, but the ITE Trip Generation rate is based on surveys of schools of actual vehicle trips generated that is in addition to a percentage of students taking transit and walk to school. Therefore, no reduction in project vehicle trips due to the staggered schedule or for students taking transit or walking to school.
LLG: See Response to Comment No. 2. The project trip generation forecast has been updated accordingly.
See revised Table 1.
2. Estimated Onsite Peak Vehicle Queue - The peak vehicle queue analysis used does not seem to accurately forecast the vehicle queueing during the drop-off period, because the vehicle queues observed during the drop-off period at the existing KIPP Compton Charter School on 134th Street are up to 40 vehicles. This is with a similar right-turn ingress and egress operation on local streets that have significantly less traffic than Compton Boulevard. Therefore, the analysis needs to look at the existing KIPP Compton School existing queues observed at what time and determine what is causing the queue.
The analysis needs to show what are the causes for the queueing at the existing KIPP Compton School and show how these causes will be mitigated for the proposed KIPP Compton.
LLG: The existing KIPP Compton Community School is an elementary school located at the end of a narrow cul-de-sac street (Water Way). Because of the configuration, there is no opportunity to utilize WWW.NV5.com
two lines of vehicle queuing to alleviate vehicle queues. Further, the relatively young age of the students means most students are driven to school and require additional time to enter and exit vehicles (e.g., due to car seats/boosters). The location of the proposed middle school is better located as it allows for a greater dispersion of arriving and departing vehicle trips (e.g., enter via Mayo Avenue, exit via Pearl Avenue) whereas all vehicle trips at the elementary school enter and exit via a narrow street (Water Way). There are relatively fewer vehicle maneuvers required for motorists within the middle school drop-off/pick-up zone as compared to the elementary school and the onsite queuing at the middle school allows for two lines of queuing, if needed. Further, the middle school project anticipates up to 50% of students will either walk/bike or take public transit, as compared to smaller proportion at the elementary school. Finally, middle school students can enter and exit vehicles in less time as compared to elementary school students. In summary, the vehicle queuing issues asserted in the comment at the existing Compton Community School are unique to that site and are not expected at the Project.
NV5: The ingress rate of the proposed school will be better than the existing one lane ingress drop off at the existing school on 134th Street. However, the egress rate of the vehicles at the existing school will be much better than the proposed school, because there is much less opposing traffic on the local streets surrounding the 134th Street School compared to the much higher volume of traffic on Compton Boulevard and the overlapping of ingress and egress project trips for the proposed school on Compton Boulevard fronting the school, which will increase the egress delay. Therefore, the vehicle queue for the proposed school will also be significant and if it is enough for the ingress traffic queue to extend back to the Mayo Avenue and Compton Boulevard intersection, then the westbound left turn ingress traffic on Compton Boulevard will have a difficulty turning into Mayo Avenue to enter the drop-off line. This will cause the westbound left turn ingress project traffic to spill over into the No. 1 westbound through lane that will cause significant delays for westbound traffic on Compton Boulevard.
3. Project Trip Assignment - The Project trip distribution shows 60% of the ingress traffic coming from the east, 35% coming from the west and 5% coming from the north. However, the analysis gives no justification for the disparity between the percentage of trips coming from the west versus the percentage of trips coming from the east. Unless there is justification provided for this disparity, the trip distribution between trips coming from the east and west should be equal or close to it.
LLG: See Response to Comment No. 2. The project trip assignment has been updated accordingly. See revised Table 5.
4. Traffic Volume Forecast - Project traffic volumes used for the forecast shall be the Project trips without any reduction. Also, almost all the Project vehicle trips shall be distributed between the period of 7:30AM and 8:00AM and for a 30-minute period near the Dismissal time.
LLG: See Response to Comment No. 2. Based on a gate opening time of 7:00 a.m., a start time for half of the students at 7:45 a.m., and a second start time for the other half of the students at 8:05 a.m., it is likely that vehicles will be arriving and departing the school site over 75- to 90- minute period during the morning drop-off period (and replicated again during the afternoon pick-up period). There is no justification to evaluate all school-related trips within a 30-minute period as suggested in the comment.
NV5: The analysis just assumes that the drop off trips will arrive evenly over a 75-to-90-minute period simply because the gates are open early with no data to prove that will happen; therefore, there is no justification to evaluate most of the school related trips over this period. There will be some school related trips early because the gates open at 7:00am, but most of the school related trips will occur within the 30-minute period, unless there is empirical data from the existing KIPP School or another similar type of school as the proposed school in Compton that shows the time period when most of the WWW.NV5.com
school related trips are generated.
5. Operational Analysis - The queue analysis and the traffic impact analysis at the intersections need to be redone with no reduction to the project trips. The disparity in the trip distribution needs to be corrected, unless justification for the disparity is provided. The analysis shall be done with almost all the project trips generated between 7:30AM and 8:00AM and most of the project trips distributed over a 30-minute period near the Dismissal time. The traffic impact analysis at the intersection of Pearl Avenue and Compton Boulevard needs to reanalyzed showing 10% of the egress trips on northbound Pearl Avenue at Compton Boulevard still making a left turn or through movements. This increased delay for northbound Pearl Avenue at Compton Boulevard also needs to be factored into the estimated onsite peak vehicle queue analysis.
LLG: See Response to Comment Nos. 2 and 6. As previously stated in Response to Comment No. 2, based on the supplemental analysis, vehicle queues on northbound Pearl Avenue will not extend to the school’s outbound driveway as suggested in the comment.
NV5: See previous comments to re-analyze the LOS at both intersections with most of the school related trips during the 7:30am to 8:00am period, unless empirical data provided shows a longer period when most of the school related trips are generated.
6. Charter School with significantly more traffic volumes on Compton Boulevard (increased delay) factored into the analysis. Also, the peak vehicle queue analysis was done using the reduced project trips, which is not justified as previously stated and the analysis evenly dispersed the vehicle trips over a 60-minute period when almost all the vehicle trips will be dispersed over the 30-minute period of 7:30AM and 8:00AM. Therefore, the onsite peak vehicle queue needs to be re-analyzed with no reduction in the project vehicle trips with most of the trips arriving between the 30-minute period of 7:30AM and 8:00AM. The analysis also needs to consider the delay for northbound right turn traffic on Pearl Avenue at Compton Boulevard that may cause the vehicle queue to extend to the Project driveway that will slow down the egress rate and cause the ingress queue to increase.
LLG: This comment essentially repeats the statements provided in Comment No. 7. Therefore, see Response to Comment No. 7.
NV5: See previous comments related to performing the operational and vehicle queue analysis during the 30-minute period instead of the 60-minute period.
7. Not enough information (plans, details, etc.) provided. Further review will be required when plans and more details submitted.
LLG: Applicant to provide.

The intersections selected for analysis were identified as they are located closest to the Project Site, and therefore have the greatest potential to have adverse transportation effects related to the Project. Further away from the Project Site, Project-related traffic disperses, and thus , the potential for adverse transportation effects diminishes. The existing and Project lane configurations and traffic control devices at the study intersections an d Project driveways are provided in Figure 3. It is noted that vehicles at the outbound Pearl Avenue Project driveway along are assumed to stop before proceeding to make a right-turn movement onto Pearl Avenue, as if a stop sign were facing the outbound driveway approach.
Immediate access to the Project Site is provided via Compton Boulevard, Pearl Avenue, and Mayo Avenue. A brief description
1 of the roadways fronting the Project
Site is provided in the following paragraphs.
Pearl Avenue is a north-south oriented roadway th at borders the Project Site to the west. Within the Project study area, Pearl Avenue is design ated as a Local Street by the City. One through travel lane is generally provided in each direction on Pearl Avenue within the Project study area. There is no speed limit posted on Pearl Avenue in the Project study area, thus a prima fa cie speed limit of 25 miles per hour is assumed consistent with the California Vehicle Code Section 22352(b)(1).
Mayo Avenue is a north-south oriented roadway that borders the Project Site to the east. Within the Project study area, Mayo Ave nue is designated as a Local Street by the City. One through travel lane is generally provided in each dire ction on Mayo Avenue within the Project study area. There is no speed limit posted on Mayo Avenue in the Project study area, thus a prima facie speed limit of 25 miles per hour is assumed consistent with the California Vehicle Code Section 22352(b)(1).
Compton Boulevard is an east-west oriented roadway that borders the Project Site to the north. Within the Project study area, Compton Boulevard is designated as a Secondary Highway by the City. Two through travel lanes and Class II bicycle lanes are provided in each direction on Compton Boulevard within the Project study area.
Separate exclusive left-t urn lanes are provided in each direction on Compton Boulevard at the Pearl Avenue and Mayo Av enue intersections. Compton Boulevard has a posted speed limit of 40 miles per hour within the Project study area.

Existing Traffic Volumes
Manual traffic counts of vehicular turning movements were conducted on Wednesday, January 25, 2023 at the each of the study inters ections during the weekday morning school drop-off/commute r period (AM), after noon school pick-up period (Dismissal), and afternoon (PM) commu ter period to determine the peak hour traffic volumes. The manual traffic counts at the study intersections were conducted from 7:00 AM to 9:00 AM, 2:00 PM to 4:00 PM, and 4:00 PM to 6:00 PM to determine the respective peak hour traffic volumes during the three analyzed periods.
The traffic count data at the study intersec tions were used to forecast through traffic volumes on Pearl Avenue and Mayo Avenue adjacent to the Project Site during the weekday peak hours.
The existing traffic volumes at the study intersections during the weekday AM, Dismissal, and PM peak hours are shown on Figure 4 . The summary data worksheets of the manual traffic counts at the study intersections are provided in Appendix A, attached to this memorandum.
Proposed Project Description
The Project proposes the development a nd construction of a new three-story permanent school facility with 22 classrooms, administrative offices, student and staff restrooms, and a multipurpose room. The Project will accommodate a maximum enrollment of 500 students in Grades 5 th rough 8. The Project proposes to provide a total of 44 vehicular parking spaces within an onsite surf ace parking lot. The Project site plan is illustrated in Figure 2 . Construction and occupancy of the Project is proposed to be completed by the year 2025.
As shown on Figure 2, vehicular access to the Project Site will be provided via one proposed driveway along the west side of Ma yo Avenue (i.e., along the Project Site’s easterly frontage) and one pr oposed driveway along the east side of Pearl Avenue (i.e., along the Project Site’s westerly frontage). The proposed driveways will provide access to the Project’s onsite surface parking lot, as well as the student drop- off/pick-up area. The Mayo Avenue drivew ay will accommodate right-turn ingress movements only (i.e., left-turn ingress movements and all egress movements will not be permitted). The Pearl Avenue dr iveway will accommodate right-turn egress movements only (i.e., left-turn egress movements and all ingress movements will not be permitted).

Vehicular Project Site Access
Ingress traffic movements to the Project Site are proposed to be accommodated via one inbound-only driveway along the west side of Mayo Avenue, at the southeasterly portion of the Project Site. For student drop-off and pick-up operations, motorists will be instructed to make a right-turn into the Project Site, travel within the proposed onsite drop-off/pick-up lane, co mplete the student drop-off or pick- up, and then exit from the proposed driveway along the east side of Pearl Avenue, at the southwesterly portion of the Project Site, via a right-turn movement. As noted above, right-turn ingress and right-turn egress mo vements will be always in effect at the Project Site (i.e., no left-turn ingress or left-turn egress movements permitted).
Student Drop-Off/Pick-Up Operational Plan
At the beginning of each school year, the school will distribute its student drop- off/pick-up operational plan to parents and car egivers. Parents and caregivers will be required to review the student drop-off/p ick-up operational plan and acknowledge acceptance of the plan by signature. Elements of the plan may include, but not be limited to the following:
Encourage students to walk or take public transit to school 2, including
designation of a dedicated walk-in en trance to the school along Compton Boulevard (see Figure 2 ). The school’s pedestrian entry/exit Compton Boulevard will avoid potential conflict with the vehicle driveways on Mayo Avenue and Pearl Avenue.
Direct all vehicle entr y to the school site vi a a right-turn only from southbound Mayo Avenue (no left -turn entry permitted). Further, all vehicle exit from the school site will be via a right-turn only to northbound Pearl Avenue (no left-turn exit permitted). The school will have adult monitors at the school Mayo Avenue and Pearl Ave nue driveways to ensure compliance with the right-turn entry and exit movements.
At the Compton Boulevard intersection, exiting motorists will be directed to make a right-turn only from northbo und Pearl Avenue to eastbound Compton Boulevard so as to minimize potential de lays to motorists at the intersection.
The school will intermitte ntly monitor the intersection to ensure school- related parents and care-givers adhere to the right-turn only movement from Pearl Avenue to Compton Boulevard.
2 Based on experience at its existing campus, the school expects up to 50% of its students may walk or take public transit to and from school on a regular basis.

No student drop-off or pick-up will be permitted along Co mpton Boulevard, Mayo Avenue or Pearl Avenue for the safe ty and security of students, as well as parents and care-givers. The school will intermitte ntly monitor the intersection to ensure sc hool-related parents and ca re-givers adhere to the right-turn only movement from Pearl Avenue to Compton Boulevard.
Within the school site, parents and care givers will be required to follow the instructions of the adult monitors. Drop-off and pi ck-up of students can only occur within the designated drop-off/pick-up zone, which can accommodate up to six vehicles at a time.
Parents and caregivers may not arrive at the school site no earlier than 45 minutes prior to the designated school start or dismissal times. The school will open its gates to accommodate the early arrivals, and permit to queue onsite as needed.
Onsite Vehicle Queuing Capacity
The proposed onsite drop-off/pick-up queue lin e, measured from the property line at the Mayo Avenue driveway to the westernmos t point of the drop-of f/pick-up zone, is approximately 337 feet in length. Assuming an average length of 22 feet per queued vehicle (19 feet for the vehicle plus an additional three feet between queued vehicles), the onsite drop-off/pick-up area can accomm odate approximately 15 queued vehicles in a single lane. Additiona lly, as the drive aisle accommodating the onsite drop- off/pick-up area is between 20 feet and 25 feet in width, there is sufficient to accommodate one lane of queued vehicles, pl us a bypass lane to allow vehicles to bypass the queue should there be delay related to the passenger loading/unloading of one or more of the queued vehicles. If nece ssary, the bypass lane can be utilized as a second lane for drop-off/pick-up and can accommodate an additional 15 vehicles, allowing for a total of 30 vehicles to queue onsite in the drop-off/pick-up area.
Furthermore, west of the drop-off/pick- up zone, the onsite drive aisle extends an additional 153 feet to the pr operty line at the Pearl Ave nue driveway. Assuming an average length of 22 feet per queued vehicle (19 feet for the vehicle plus an additional three feet between queued vehicles), the por tion of the onsite drive aisle between the Pearl Avenue driveway and the drop-off/pick-up zone can accommodate approximately seven vehicles queued in a sing le lane, or 14 vehicles queued in two lanes. Therefore, in combination with the 30-vehicle stacking that is accommodated on the approach and within the drop-off/pic k-up zone, a total capacity for 44 vehicles to stack onsite is provided at the Project Site.

As shown on Figure 2, a minimum of six traffic monitors are proposed to be stationed along the onsite drop-off/pick-up zone to assist students in safely entering and exiting vehicles during the drop-off and pick-up periods. Two additional traffic monitors will be stationed at the entrance and exit driveways (one monitor per driveway) to direct vehicles entering the Project Site into the drop-off/pick-up lane from Mayo Avenue and to direct vehicles exiti ng the drop-off/pick-up area out onto Pearl Avenue. Additionally, as previously not ed, one monitor will periodically observe egress movements from the northbound Pearl Av enue approach to ensure vehicles leaving the Project comply with the school’s policy for parents/ca regivers of making an eastbound right- turn from north bound Pearl Avenue onto eastbound Compton Boulevard.
In addition to directing vehicles, the driv eway monitors will also serve as crossing guards to facilitate safe crossings across the driveways. Further, cones will be placed onsite as needed to direct motorists and facilitate drop-off/pick-up. Signs will be posted at the ingress and egress driveways i ndicating the vehicle tu rning restrictions.
The traffic monitors onsite will also assist with indicating turning restrictions to motorists. It is noted the entry and exit driveways will be gated when not in use.
Outreach will be provided by the Project to the public, including administrative staff, parents/caregivers, nearby businesses, a nd neighboring resident s, regarding the school’s traffic management plan. Additionally, as previously noted, the Project hold meetings with parents/caregi vers at the beginning of each school year so that they understand and are fully aware of the expectations regarding student drop-off/pick-up procedures. Therefore, motorists destined to the Project will be aware of the right- turn only ingress operation at the Mayo Ave nue driveway and will plan their travel routes in advance so as to arrive at the Project Site via southbound Mayo Avenue.
Additionally, motorists leaving the Project will be aware of the plan to make a right- turn from northbound Pearl Avenue ont o eastbound Compton Boulevard when departing the Project Site. The Project will meet with parents/caregivers who fail to comply with the traffic management plan. A roadway signing/stri ping plan will be prepared for the immediate Project Site vicinity if required by the City.
Furthermore, the Project proposes to st agger the start and dismissal times by a minimum of 20 minutes. For example, ap proximately half of the students would commence at 7:45 AM, and th e remaining half would co mmence at 8:05 AM. By staggering the student start and dismissa l times by 20 minutes, the peak one-hour period of traffic is disperse d over a longer period of time (i.e., to 80 minutes), which reduces the number of vehicl es queuing at the Project Si te during drop-off and pick- up times. As previously noted, student drop-off will be permitted at least 45 minutes prior to the Project’s scheduled start time. The Project gates will be opened at least 45 minutes prior to dismissal for parents/ca regivers to begin queuing onsite ahead of student dismissal.

Project Trip Generation
Traffic volumes expected to be generated by the proposed Project during the weekday AM and PM peak hours, as well as on a daily basis, were estimated using trip rates published in the Institute of Tr ansportation Engineers’ (ITE) Trip Generation Manual.
3 The following trip generation rates were used to forecast the traffic volumes expected to be generated by the Project:
Charter Middle School: ITE Land Us e Code 536 (Charter Elementary School4) trip generation average rates we re used to forecast the traffic volumes expected to be generated by the Project.
In addition to the trip generation forecas ts for the proposed Project (which are essentially an estimate of the number of vehi cles that could be expected to enter and exit the Project Site access points), a foreca st was made of the transit/walk-in trips that will be generated by the Project in li eu of trips by the private automobile. The Project Site is currently se rved by local lines via stops located within convenient walking distance along Compton Boulevard. The transit lines include Metro Local Lines 125, 127, and 128. A transit/walk-in adju stment of ten percent (25%) has been utilized due to the Project’s proximity to the nearby transit lines. This is highly conservative (“worst case”) as the school expects that up to 50% of its students may walk or take public transit to and from school.
Furthermore, an adjustment was made to the trip generation forecast based on the Project staggering the start and dismissal ti mes by at least 20 minutes. For example, approximately half of the students woul d commence at 7:45 AM, and the remaining half would commence at 8:05 AM. By st aggering the student start and dismissal times by 20 minutes, the peak one-hour period of traffic is dispersed over a longer period of time (i.e., to 80 mi nutes). Stated otherwise, it can be assumed that approximately half of the vehicle trips associated with one group of arriving or departing students would be moved out of the peak one-hour period of traffic.
Accordingly, the trip generation forecasts for the AM peak arrival of students and Dismissal peak departure of students have be en adjusted to reflect the staggering of student arrivals and depart ures (i.e., half of one gr oup of 250 arriving/departing students). It is noted that no staggering adjustment was made to the PM peak hour trip generation forecast.

Table 1 attached to this memorandum provides the trip generation forecast for the Project. As shown in Table 1, the Project on a typical weekday is forecast to result in 337 AM peak hour vehicle trips (175 inbound trips and 162 outbound trips), 234 Dismissal peak hour vehicle trips (114 i nbound trips and 120 outbound trips), and 72 PM peak hour vehicle trip s (25 inbound trips and 47 outbou nd trips). On a typical weekday, the Project is forecast to resu lt in 694 daily vehicl e trips (e.g., 347 inbound trips and 347 outbound trips).
It is noted that the trip generation for ecasts for the AM, Dismissal, and PM peak hours represent the trips expected to be generated by the Project during those respective one-hour periods. The daily vehi cle trip generation forecast captures trips generated by the Project during the AM, Dis missal, and PM peak periods, as well as other vehicle trips made throughout the day, such as deliveries, staff arrivals and departures, etc.
Estimated Onsite Peak Vehicle Queue
Private vehicles are the main component that contributes to the vehicle queuing analysis during the peak student drop-off a nd pick-up periods. The analysis focuses on the morning student drop-o ff period as the pick-up of students tends to be dispersed on a relative basi s throughout the afternoon, pa rticularly as students are involved with after-school activities.
A vehicular trip generation forecast for th e Project was prepared based on trip rates published in the ITE) Trip Generation Manual and is provided in Table 1. Table 1 shows that the Project is forecast to generate 151 inbound trips and 140 outbound trips during the AM peak hour, 99 i nbound trips and 103 outbound trips during the Dismissal peak hour, and 21 inbound trips a nd 39 outbound trips during the PM peak hour. As the AM peak hour trip genera tion forecast exceeds the Dismissal and PM peak hours (which is expected since ma ny students participate in after-school programs, which therefore has the effect of dispersing student pick-ups throughout the afternoon), the focus of the vehicle queui ng analysis is the AM peak hour (i.e., student drop-off) as it represents the “worst case” condition. As noted above, the Project proposes to stagger the start times by at least 20 min utes, thereby likely resulting in the dispersing of Project-related trips beyond the 60-minute window for which the trip forecast is yielded through use of the ITE peak hour trip rates.
Accordingly, as shown in Table 1, the trip generation forecast for the AM peak arrival of students and has been adjusted to reflect the staggering of student arrivals (i.e., half of one group of 250 arriving students).

A review of the Project Site location, pe destrian network, and nearby public transit stops indicates that pedestrian movements can be accommodated as part of the Project. Streets in the immediate Project vicinity are improved with sidewalks.
Students and employees traveling to and fro m the Project Site by walking or public transit can safely access the Project Site via the existing pedestrian network and enter the Project Site via the pedestrian entran ce along the Project’s Compton Boulevard frontage. As it is anticipated that so me students and employees will utilize public transportation for travel to and from the Proj ect Site, a transit/walk-in adjustment of 25% has been utilized due to the Project’s proximity to nearby transit lines, including Metro Local Lines 125, 127, and 128, and is shown in Table 1.
As the ITE trip rates do not distinguish between trips related to staff arrivals and student drop-offs in the mo rning, it can be generall y assumed that the 140 outbound trips during the AM peak hour would correla te with at least 140 inbound trips during this period related to student drop-off operations. The rema ining inbound vehicle trips during the AM peak hour are likely due to administrative staf f, visitors, etc.
Therefore, for this queuing analysis, it has been assumed that approximately 140 vehicles would utilize the onsite vehicle que uing area as part of the student drop-off operations.
It is noted that parking for the Project wi ll be provided in an onsite surface parking lot. Administrative staff will be instructed to arrive at the Project Site prior to the commencement of the student drop-off peri od to prevent interference with student drop-off operations. Thus, by arriving at the Project Site before the drop-off period, staff are not expected to interfere with student drop-off operations.
The M/M/s queuing model was used to pr epare the onsite queuing analysis. The M/M/s queuing model will calculate averag e queuing, as well as peak queues at various confidence levels. For this analysis, the peak queue at the 95 th percentile
confidence level was utilized, which is similar to the confidence level used in the design of left-turn pocket lengths at intersections.
The model requires the input of three para meters: average arriva l rate per hour, the number of servers (i.e., adult monitors assisting students to and from cars), and average service rate per hour for each adult mon itor. For this analysis, the model inputs are based on an arri val rate of 140 vehicles pe r hour accommodated by six monitors (servers), with each monitor ab le to process one car per minute (or 60 vehicles per hour) during the student drop- off period. Based on this, 360 vehicles would be able to be processed per hour.

The M/M/s queuing calculations 5 prepared for the Proj ect are provided in Appendix B. As shown in Appendix B, the average queue during student drop-off at the Project is forecast to be approximately 2.4 vehicles (customers). As further shown in the table provided in Appendix B, at the 95 th percent confidence level (precisely, 96.46% as shown in Appendix B ), the maximum onsite queue during student drop-off is calculated to be five vehicles.
As previously noted, the onsite drop-off/pick-up area can accommodate 15 queued vehicles (with capacity for an additional 15 vehicles), which can therefore readily accommodate the forecast peak queue of five vehicles. If necessary, there is capacity for 44 vehicles to queue onsite. Accord ingly, Project-related vehicles are not expected to queue onto Mayo Avenue. Ther efore, it is concluded that the planned onsite vehicle queuing area can adequately accommodate the forecast peak queue of eight vehicles during the morning student drop-off operation at the Project.
Project Trip Assignment
The weekday AM, Dismissal, and PM peak hour vehicle trips forecast to be generated by the Project were assigned to the study intersections. Figure 5 provides the vehicular trip distribution for the Project. Figure 6 displays the forecast weekday AM, Dismissal, and PM peak hour Project tr affic volumes at the study intersections and Project driveways.
Traffic Volume Forecast
The transportation assessment evaluates th e potential effects of the Project through analysis of the following traffic volume conditions:
Existing
Existing with Project
As previously noted, the existing traffi c volumes at the st udy intersections are presented in Figure 4. The forecast traffic volumes as sociated with the Project at the study intersections are then added to the ex isting volumes to obtain the Existing with Project traffic volumes, which are shown in Figure 7.

Intersection Operations Criteria
The relative effects of the added Project traffic volumes to be generated by the proposed Project during the AM, Dismissal, and PM peak hours were assessed based on operations criteria set forth in the Los Angeles County Public Works Transportation Impact Analysis Guidelines
6 (the “County TIA Guidelines”). For
operational evaluation of deve lopment projects, the County TIA Guidelines require a quantitative evaluation of the Project’s e xpected access and circulation operations.
Project access is considered constrained if the Project’s traffic would contribute to unacceptable queuing at nearby signalized in tersections. Unacceptable or extended queuing may be defined as follows:
Spill over from turn pockets into through lanes.
Spill over into intersections.
Operational Methodology
The analysis was prepared based on the Highway Capacity Manual 7 (HCM)
operational analysis methodology pursuant to the TIA Guidelines. Intersection analyses were prepared utilizing the HCS7 software package, which implements the HCM operational methods. In addition, specifics such as traffic volume data and lane configurations we re coded in the HCS7 software. The operational analysis was prepared utilizing the following data previously presented herein:

The operational analysis of vehicle queuing at the study intersections was prepared for the following conditions:
(a) Existing (2023) conditions.
(b) Condition (a) with completion and occupancy of the Project.
The HCM methodology for signalized and uns ignalized intersections was utilized to calculate vehicle queuing. The operation analysis reports th e control delay (in seconds), Levels of Service (LOS), and 95
th percentile queues (in feet) for all
approaches for the signalized intersections and the minor street approaches for the unsignalized intersections. The 95 th percentile queue is the maximum back of queue with 95th percentile traffic volumes. The HC M 6th Edition methodology worksheets report queues in number of vehicles. As such, an average vehi cle length of 25 feet, which includes the length of the vehicl e and spacing between vehicles, was assumed for analysis purposes. The reported que ues therefore represent the calculated maximum back of queue in feet. The su mmary of the operational analysis of the study intersections is provided in Table 2. The HCM methodology worksheets for the analyzed intersections are contained in Appendix C.
Operational Analysis
As presented in Table 2, the Project would not cause or substantially extend vehicle queuing at the two study intersections duri ng the weekday AM, Dismissal, and PM peak hours under the “Existing with Project” scenario. The change in queue length associated with the Project at the study in tersections ranges from no change to a maximum of 82.1 feet (i.e., ju st over three vehicles). Notable observations for each of the two study intersections is provided below:
Pearl Avenue / Compton Boulevard (Study Int. No. 1)
o At the Pearl Avenue / Compton Boul evard intersection, the change in queue length associated with the Pr oject (i.e., Existing with Project conditions) at the northbound P earl Avenue shared left- turn/through/right-turn approach increases by 32.5 feet during the AM peak hour. The 95 th percentile vehicle queue is estimated to be 37.5 feet (i.e., less than two vehicles) on this approach. As the proposed driveway curb cut will be appr oximately 165.0 feet south of the intersection (measure d from the limit line on the northbound Pearl Avenue approach), vehicle queues ar e not expected to block vehicles exiting the Project Site from the outbound Pearl Avenue driveway. It City of Compton
February 27, 2023
U:\0594\memo\0594-M2.docx
is noted that this approach is currently operating at LOS C during the weekday AM and Dismissal peak hours, and LOS D during the PM peak hour. With the addition of Pr oject traffic, th is approach is forecast to operate at LOS C duri ng the AM, Dismissal, and PM peak hours.
Mayo Avenue / Compton Boulevard (Study Int. No. 2)
o At the Mayo Avenue / Compton Boul evard intersection, the change in queue length associated with the Pr oject (i.e., Existing with Project conditions) at the eastbound Compt on Boulevard left-turn approach increases by 36.7 feet during the AM peak hour. The 95 th percentile vehicle queue is estimated to be 43.5 feet (i.e., less than two vehicles) on this approach. As the existing eastbound Co mpton Boulevard left- turn pocket is approximately 128.0 feet in length, vehicles are not expected to spill over into the adjace nt through lane. It is noted that this approach is currently operating at LOS C during the weekday AM, Dismissal, and PM peak hours. With the addition of Project traffic, this approach is forecast to continue operating at LOS C during the AM, Dismissal, and PM peak hours.
o The change in queue length associated with the Project (i.e., Existing with Project conditions) at the westbound Compton Boulevard left- turn approach increases by 82.1 feet during the AM peak hour. The 95th percentile vehicle queue is estimated to be 88.0 feet (i.e., less than four vehicles) on this approach. As the existing westbound Compton Boulevard left-turn pocket is a pproximately 118.0 feet in length, vehicles are not expected to spill over into the adjacent through lane.
It is noted that this approach is currently operating at LOS C during the weekday AM, Dismissal, and PM peak hours. With the addition of Project traffic, this approach is forecast to continue operating at LOS C during the AM, Dismissal, and PM peak hours.
Summary
This memorandum has been prepared to provide a vehicle que uing and operational analysis for the proposed KIPP Compton Mi ddle School project located at 900 E.
Compton Boulevard in the City of Compton. The conclusions of the vehicle queuing and operational analysis are as follows:

U:\0594\memo\0594-M2.docx
The Project proposes the development a nd construction of a new three-story permanent school facility with 22 classrooms, admin istrative offices, student and staff restrooms, and a multipurpose room. The Project will accommodate a maximum enrollment of 500 students in Grades 5 through 8. A total of 44 parking spaces will be provided with in an onsite surface parking lot.
Construction and occupancy of the Project is proposed to be completed by the year 2025.
Prior to the start of the school, th e school’s Student Drop-Off/Pick-Up Operational Plan will be distributed to parents and care-givers. The Plan provides the procedures that must be followed to safely and securely transport students to and from the school. Parent s and caregivers will be required to acknowledge receipt and adherence to the Plan.
The Project’s start and dismissal times will be staggered by a minimum of 20 minutes, thereby dispersing the arrival of traffic over a longer period of time.
Parents/caregivers will be able to be gin dropping off stud ents at least 45 minutes prior to the Project ’s scheduled start time. The Project’s gates will open at least 45 minutes prior to dismis sal to allow for parents/caregivers to begin queuing onsite.
The Project is expected to generate 291 AM peak hour vehicle trips (151 inbound trips and 140 outbound trips), 202 Di smissal peak hour vehicle trips (99 inbound trips and 103 outbound trips), and 60 PM peak hour vehicle trips (21 inbound trips and 39 outbound trips) during a typical weekday. The Project is expected to generate 694 daily vehicle trips (e.g., 347 inbound trips and 347 outbound trips).
For student drop-off and pick-up operations, motorists will be directed to enter the Project Site by making a right-t urn from southbound Mayo Avenue, travel through the onsite drop-off/pick-up area, complete the student drop-off or pick-up, exit onto northbound Pearl Avenue via a westbound right-turn movement, and then make a northbound right-turn movement onto eastbound Compton Boulevard. Signs will be posted at the ingress and egress driveways indicating turning restrictions. Traffic monitors will also assist in directing vehicles through the drop-off/pick-up area and cones will be placed as needed onsite to facilitate drop-off/pick-up.

U:\0594\memo\0594-M2.docx
A minimum of six traffic monitors are pr oposed to assist in safely escorting students entering and exiting vehicles in the onsite drop-off/pick-up zone.
Outreach will be provided to the public, including parents/caregivers, regarding the school’s traffic management plan. Meetings will be held with parents/caregivers at the beginning of each school year to go over the traffic management plan and ensure compliance. Therefore, motorists destined to the Project will be aware of the drop-o ff/pick-up operation, including the right- turn only ingress operation at the Mayo Avenue driv eway and the presence of traffic monitors onsite.
The Project’s onsite drop-off/pick-up area can accommodate 15 vehicles. vehicles in a single lane, which can therefore readily accommodate the forecast peak queue of five vehicles. If needed, the bypass lane can also be used for vehicle queuing, which would accommodate an additional 15 queued vehicle onsite. Beyond the drop-off/pick -up zone, an additional 14 vehicles can be queued onsite, thereby resulting in the capacity to queue 44 vehicles onsite if ever necessary.
Using trip generation rates published by ITE and based on the M/M/s queuing model, it is forecast that during th e morning student drop-off period, the Project will generate an average que ue of 2.4 vehicles and a peak (95 th
percentile) queue of five vehicles. This forecast peak queue of five vehicles is within the capacity of the Project’s onsite drop-off/pick- up area which can accommodate up to 15 vehicles. Therefore, the Project will not cause vehicles to queue onto Mayo Avenue.
Based on application of the operations criteria outlined in the County’s TIA Guidelines, the Project’s weekday AM, Dismissal, and PM peak hour traffic volumes would not cause or substantia lly extend vehicle queuing at the two study intersections analyzed. Vehicle queues on the eastbound and westbound Compton Boulevard left-tur n movements at both st udy intersec tions would not spill over into the adjacent through lane. The forecast vehicle queues on Pearl Avenue and Mayo Avenue at th eir respective intersections with Compton Boulevard are not expected to conflict with any existing driveways.
Additionally, LOS at the study intersections with the addition of Project traffic would remain the same as under existing conditions for all turning movement approaches. Thus, no modifications are proposed to the study intersections.

[4] ITE Land Use Code 536 (Charter Elementary School) trip generation average rates per number of students. - Daily Trip Rate: 1.85 trips/student; 50% inbound and 50% outbound - AM Peak Hour Trip Rate: 1.04 trips/student; 52% inbound/48% outbound - PM Peak Hour of Generator: 0.72 trips/student; 49% inbound/51% outbound - PM Peak Hour Trip Rate: 0.16 trips/student; 35% inbound/65% outbound [5] Assumes the staggering of the arrival and departure times related to approximately half the number of students by a minimum of 20 minutes. Staggered start/dismissal times disperses the arrival and departure of students, estimated to reduce the "non-staggered" peak hour trips by approximately 25%. [6] The transit/walk-in reduction is based on the Project Site's proximity to bus stops and various bus lines, projections on the percentage of students expected to walk to the Project, and the land use characteristics of the Project.

[1] Intersection analysis results and vehicle queuing per the Highway Capacity Manual (HCM) methodology for signalized and unsig nalized intersections. [2] Control delay reported in seconds per vehicle.
[3] Signalized Intersection Levels of Service were based on the following criteria: Unsignalized Intersection Levels of Serv ice were based on the following criteria:
Control Delay (s/veh)
LOS Control Delay (s/veh) LOS
<= 10 A <= 10 A
> 10-20 B > 10-15 B
> 20-35 C > 15-25 C
> 35-55 D > 25-35 D
> 55-80 E > 35-50 E
> 80 F > 50 F
[4] The 95th percentile queue is the maximum back of queue with 95th percentile traffic volumes. The HCM 6th Edition methodolog y worksheets report queues in number of vehicles, however an average vehicle length of 25 feet was assumed for analysis purposes.
The reported queues therefore represent the calculated maximum back of queue in feet. [5] Represents the change in calculated maximum back of queue (in feet) due to the addition of Project-related traffic.

HCM AND LEVELS OF SERVICE EXPLANATION
HCM DATA WORKSHEETS – WEEKDAY AM, DISMISSAL,
AND PM PEAK HOURS
LEVEL OF SERVICE FOR SIGNALIZED INTERSECTIONS
In the Highway Capacity Manual (HCM), published by the Transportation Research Board, 2010, level of service for signalized intersections is defined in terms of delay, which is a measure of driver discomfort, frustration, fuel consumption, and increased travel time. The delay experienced by a motorist is made up of a number of factors that relate to control, geometrics, traffic, and incidents. Total delay is the difference between the travel time actually experienced and the reference travel time that would result during base conditions: in the absence of traffic control, in the absence of geometric delay, in the absence of incidents, and when there are no other vehicles on the road. Only the portion of total delay attributed to the control facility is quantified. This delay is called control delay. Control delay includes initial deceleration delay, queue move-up time, stopped delay, and final acceleration delay.
Level of Service criteria for traffic signals are stated in terms of the average control delay per vehicle. Delay is a complex measure and is dependent on a number of variables, including the quality of progression, the cycle length, the green ratio, and the v/c ratio for the lane group in question.
Level of Service Criteria for Signalized Intersections
Level of Service Control Delay (Sec/Veh)
A ≤ 10
B > 10 and ≤ 20
C > 20 and ≤ 35
D > 35 and ≤ 55
E > 55 and ≤ 80
F > 80
Level of Service (LOS) values are used to describe intersection operations with service levels varying from LOS A (free flow) to LOS F (jammed condition). The following descriptions summarize HCM criteria for each level of service:
LOS A describes operations with very low control delay, up to 10 seconds per vehicle. This level of service occurs when progression is extremely favorable and most vehicles arrive during the green phase. Most vehicles do not stop at all. Short cycle lengths may also contribute to low delay values.
LOS B describes operations with control delay greater than 10 and up to 20 seconds per vehicle. This level generally occurs with good progression, short cycle lengths, or both. More vehicles stop than with LOS A, causing higher levels of delay.
LOS C describes operations with control delay greater than 20 and up to 35 seconds per vehicle. These higher delays may result from fair progression, longer cycle lengths, or both. Individual cycle failures may begin to appear at this level. The number of vehicles stopping is significant at this level, though many still pass through the intersection without stopping.
LOS D describes operations with control delay greater than 35 and up to 55 seconds per vehicle. At LOS D, the influence of congestion becomes more noticeable. Longer delays may result from some combination of unfavorable progression, long cycle lengths, or high v/c ratios. Many vehicles stop, and the proportion of vehicles not stopping declines. Individual cycle failures are noticeable.
LOS E describes operations with control delay greater than 55 and up to 80 seconds per vehicle. This level is considered by many agencies to be the limit of acceptable delay. These high delay values generally indicate poor progression, long cycle lengths, and high v/c ratios. Individual cycle failures are frequent occurrences.
LOS F describes operations with control delay in excess of 80 seconds per vehicle. This level, considered to be unacceptable to most drivers, often occurs with oversaturation, that is, when arrival flow rates exceed the capacity of the lane groups. It may also occur at high v/c ratios with many individual cycle failures. Poor progression and long cycle lengths may also be major contributing factors to such delay levels.
LEVEL OF SERVICE FOR UNSIGNALIZED INTERSECTIONS
In the Highway Capacity Manual (HCM), published by the Transportation Research Board, 2010, level of service for unsignalized intersections is defined in terms of delay, which is a measure of driver discomfort, frustration, fuel consumption, and lost travel time. The delay experienced by a motorist is made up of a number of factors that relate to control, geometrics, traffic, and incidents. Total delay is the difference between the travel time actually experienced and the reference travel time that would result during base conditions, in the absence of incidents, control, traffic, or geometric delay. Only the portion of total delay attributed to the traffic control measures, either traffic signals or stop signs, is quantified. This delay is called control delay. Control delay includes initial deceleration delay, queue move-up time, stopped delay, and final acceleration delay.
Level of Service criteria for unsignalized intersections are stated in terms of the average control delay per vehicle. The level of service is determined by the computed or measured control delay and is defined for each minor movement. Average control delay for any particular minor movement is a function of the service time for the approach and the degree of utilization. (Level of service is not defined for the intersection as a whole for two-way stop controlled intersections.)
Level of Service Criteria for TWSC/AWSC Intersections
Level of Service
Average Control Delay
(Sec/Veh)
A ≤ 10
B > 10 and ≤ 15
C > 15 and ≤ 25
D > 25 and ≤ 35
E > 35 and ≤ 50
F > 50
Level of Service (LOS) values are used to describe intersection operations with service levels varying from LOS A (free flow) to LOS F (jammed condition). The following descriptions summarize HCM criteria for each level of service:
LOS A describes operations with very low control delay, up to 10 seconds per vehicle.
LOS B describes operations with control delay greater than 10 and up to 15 seconds per vehicle.
LOS C describes operations with control delay greater than 15 and up to 25 seconds per vehicle.
LOS D describes operations with control delay greater than 25 and up to 35 seconds per vehicle.
LOS E describes operations with control delay greater than 35 and up to 50 seconds per vehicle.
LOS F describes operations with control delay in excess of 50 seconds per vehicle. For two-way stop controlled intersections, LOS F exists when there are insufficient gaps of suitable size to allow side-street demand to safely cross through a major-street traffic stream. This level of service is generally evident from extremely long control delays experienced by side-street traffic and by queuing on the minor-street approaches.

FROM: CITY MANAGER
SUBJECT: A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF COMPTON AMENDING THE PUBLIC WORKS ENGINEERING DEPARTMENT’S
2023-2024 FISCAL YEAR BUDGET AND AUTHORIZING THE CITY
MANAGER TO ENTER INTO A CONSTRUCTION CONTRACT WITH
AND ESTABLISH A PURCHASE ORDER FOR BEADOR
CONSTRUCTION COMPANY, INC. FOR THE ARTESIA BOULEVARD
OVER ALAMEDA STREET AND ACTA/UPRR BRIDGE REPAIR
PROJECT, CIP# 23-01 ($4,819,430).
SUMMARY
Adoption of this resolution will amend the Public Works Engineering Department’s 2023- 2024 Fiscal Year’s budget and authorize the City Manager to enter into a construction contract with and establish a purchase order in the amount of Four Million, Three Hundred Eighty-One Thousand and Three Hundred Dollars ($4,381,300) for Beador Construction Company, Inc. and a Four Hundred Thirty-Eight Thousand, One Hundred and Thirty Dollars ($438,130) contingency amount for the Artesia Boulevard Over Alameda Street and ACTA/UPRR Bridge Repair Project, CIP# 23-01.
BACKGROUND
The Artesia Boulevard Overhead (State Bridge No. 53C1744, LA County Bridge No. 2446) carries Artesia Boulevard over the Alameda Railroad Corridor, Alameda Street, and Compton Creek. See the attached Figure 1 for a location map. The bridge was constructed in 1956, is approximately 100 feet wide, and includes 10 spans of varying length for a total bridge length of 718’-0”. The bridge superstructure is comprised of steel girders with a cast-in-place concrete deck. A seismic retrofit was performed in 1993 on the bridge filling in the areas between columns and adding CIDH piles for added shear resistance.
On December 18, 2020, fire damage was reported at Span 10, the easternmost span of the bridge shown in Figure 2. Span 10 is 49’-9 ¼” long from centerline of Bent 10 to centerline bearing of Abutment 11. Subsequently, the bridge was closed to traffic and inspected by the Los Angeles County Public Works (Design Division and Road Maintenance Division) and the City of Compton Public Works. Steel girders exhibited significant distortion as a result of fire, and an April 2021 load rating analysis performed by LAPW concluded that the structure’s remaining strength is sufficient to carry only the structure’s self-weight. Additional live loads (vehicular and pedestrian traffic) are prohibited on the bridge as it would overload the reduced capacity of the damaged span. Due to the severity of the damage to the steel girder members and their connections, repairing the girders is not deemed feasible. Therefore, the preferred solution is to fully replace Span 10. To re-open the bridge to traffic, the load rating report

Artesia Boulevard Over Alameda Street and ACTA/UPRR Bridge Repair Project, CIP# 23-01 September 26, 2023, Page 2 of 3
recommended replacement of the entire superstructure in-kind (concrete deck on steel girders) at Span 10, along with replacement of bearings at the supports, concrete spall repairs of substructures at Bent 10 and Abutment 11, and repair and backfill of the eroded embankment at Abutment 11. The Plans, Specifications, and Estimate (PS&E) for the Bridge Repair have been prepared by Biggs Cardosa Associates.
The proposed work will be performed in accordance with the plans, specifications and other contract documents as specified herein and shall consist of the following general work descriptions: survey of existing bridge; protection of utilities, coordination with utility companies and railroads; demolition of existing eastern span of existing bridge including possible lead and asbestos; surface repair of existing substructures; new bearings and steel girders; concrete bridge deck, median, sidewalk, curb; salvage and reset existing steel rail; deck joints; traffic control. The project location is on Artesia Boulevard over Alameda Street and Union Pacific Railroad and Alameda Corridor Transportation Authority.
STATEMENT OF ISSUE
The Artesia Boulevard over Alameda Street and ACTA/UPRR Bridge Repair Project, CIP# 23-01 was advertised for competitive bids on August 2 nd and August 9 th 2023.
Bids were received and opened on August 17, 2023. The bid was received as follows:
Contractors Amount
All American Asphalt They do not perform bridge work in- house
Beador Construction $4,381,300
Hardy & Harper, Inc. The project scope did not fit within the services they provide
Based upon review of the submitted bid documents, the urgency of the City to commence construction on the Artesia Boulevard bridge, it was determined that Beador Construction, Inc. was the apparent lowest bidder and should be awarded the contract in the amount of $4,381,300.
