Varner Road / West Drive Logistics Traffic Analysis
16328-03 TA Report.docx
1 1 INTRODUCTION
This report presents the results of the traffic analysis (TA) for Varner Road / West Drive Logistics (“Project”), located south of Varner Road and west of West Drive in the City of Desert Hot Springs, as shown on Exhibit 1-1.
The purpose of this TA is to evaluate the potential circulation system deficiencies that may result from the development of the proposed Project and recommend improvements to achieve acceptable circulation system operational conditions. This TA has been prepared based in accordance with the County of Riverside’s Transportation Analysis Guidelines for Level of Service & Vehicle Miles Traveled (December 2020). (1)
To ensure that this TA satisfies the City of Desert Hot Springs’s traffic study requirements, Urban Crossroads, Inc., prepared a traffic study scoping package for review by City staff prior to the preparation of this report. The Agreement provides an outline of the Project study area, trip generation, trip distribution, and analysis methodology. The Agreement approved by the City is included in Appendix 1.1.
1.1 PROJECT OVERVIEW
A preliminary site plan for the proposed Project is shown on Exhibit 1-1. Although the site plan shows a building size of 1,209,230 square feet, up to 1,500,000 square feet of high cube warehouse could occur at the site based on the Project description. The activity levels associated with 1,500,000 square feet of high cube warehouse are therefore used as the basis of this analysis.
The future segment of Mihalyo Road extending from south of Varner Road through the Project site to West Drive is proposed to be removed from the City of Desert Hot Springs General Plan Circulation Element.
The estimated Project trip generation is 3,194 vehicle trip-ends per day with 183 AM peak vehicle hour trips and 248 PM peak hour vehicle trips. Refinements to the raw vehicle trip generation estimates for the Project have been made to provide a more detailed breakdown of trips by vehicle type (passenger cars or trucks). Passenger car equivalents (PCEs) allow the typical “real‐world” mix of vehicle types to be represented as a single, standardized unit, such as the passenger car, to be used for the purposes of capacity and level of service analyses.
The Project is anticipated to generate a total of 5,114 PCE trip-ends per day with 293 PCE AM peak vehicle hour trips and 398 PCE PM peak hour vehicle trips.
Access to the Project will be provided via full access intersections along Varner Road (2 driveways) and West Drive (2 driveways).
It is anticipated that the Project will initially use Varner Road as its sole connection to Palm Drive.

3 1.3 ANALYSIS SCENARIOS
For the purposes of this traffic study, potential deficiencies to traffic and circulation have been assessed for each of the following conditions:
Existing (2025) Conditions
Existing plus Ambient Growth plus Project (EAP) (2027) Conditions Existing plus Ambient Growth plus Project plus Cumulative (EAPC) (2027) Conditions General Plan buildout (Horizon Year 2045) With Desert Land Ventures SP General Plan buildout (Horizon Year 2045) With Project
1.3.1 EXISTING (2025) CONDITIONS
Information for Existing (2025) conditions is presented to represent the baseline traffic conditions as they existed at the time this report was prepared.
1.3.2 EAP (2027) CONDITIONS
The Existing plus Ambient Growth plus Project (EAP) conditions analysis determines traffic deficiencies that would occur on the existing roadway system with the addition of Project traffic. To account for background traffic growth, an ambient growth factor from Existing conditions of 4.04% (2% per year, compounded annually over 2 years) is included for EAP (2027) traffic conditions.
1.3.3 EAPC (2027) CONDITIONS
The Existing plus Project plus Ambient Growth plus Cumulative (EAPC) (2027) traffic conditions analysis determines the potential circulation system deficiencies with other know developments. To account for background traffic growth, traffic associated with other known cumulative projects in conjunction with an ambient growth factor from Existing conditions of 4.04% is included for EAPC (2027) traffic conditions. The list of other developments was compiled from information provided by the City of Desert Hot Springs.
1.3.4 HORIZON YEAR (2045) CONDITIONS
The Project is located on the site of the previously approved Desert Land Ventures Specific Plan (DLVSP). Land uses permitted in the DLVSP include 1,538,757 square feet of light industrial and 359,042 square feet of commercial retail. As shown in the Desert Land Ventures III LLC Property Traffic Impact Analysis (Kunzman Associates, Inc. October 23, 2017), the DSVLP land uses generate 28,719 vehicle trip-ends per day with 2,138 AM peak vehicle hour trips and 2,828 PM peak hour vehicle trips.
Horizon Year (2045) traffic conditions with the Project are evaluated in comparison to 2045 traffic conditions with the DVLSP land uses.
1.4 STUDY AREA
The Project study area was defined in coordination with the City of Desert Hot Springs. 3 Item Number: 1.
Varner Road / West Drive Logistics Traffic Analysis
16328-03 TA Report.docx
4 Consistent with County of Riverside traffic study guidelines, the study area includes any intersection of “Collector” or higher classification street, with “Collector” or higher classification streets, at which the proposed project will add 50 or more peak hour trips. Exhibit 1-2 presents the study area and intersection analysis locations.
The “50 peak hour trip” criteria generally represents a minimum number of trips at which a typical intersection would have the potential to be substantively impacted by a given development proposal.
Although each intersection may have unique operating characteristics, this traffic engineering rule of thumb is a widely utilized tool for estimating a potential area of impact (i.e., study area).
To ensure that this TA satisfies the needs of the City of Desert Hot Springs, Urban Crossroads, Inc. prepared a Project specific traffic study scoping agreement for review by City staff prior to the preparation of this TA. The agreement provides an outline of the study area, trip generation, trip distribution, and analysis methodology. The agreement approved by the City of Desert Hot Springs is included in Appendix 1.1.
The following study area intersections shown on Exhibit 1-2 and listed in Table 1-1 were selected for this TA based on consultation with City of Desert Hot Springs.

Significant future improvements will be needed along Palm Drive to serve General Plan buildout conditions. It is anticipated that Mihalyo Road will also be constructed as a new 2-lane roadway between West Drive and Palm Drive in conjunction with future development east of the Project site.
In comparison to the approved Desert Land Ventures Specific Plan, the proposed Project generates 23,605 fewer daily trips (with passenger car equivalents applied to truck activity associated with the Project. During the morning peak hour, the Project generates 1,845 fewer vehicle trips than the DLVSP land uses. During the evening peak hour, the Project generates 2,430 fewer vehicle trips than the DLVSP land uses.
1.6 RECOMMENDED ACCESS IMPROVEMENTS
Driveway connections to the Project will be provided via full access intersections along Varner Road (two driveways) and West Drive (two driveways). Roadway improvements necessary to provide site access and on-site circulation consist of the following:
Construct new 32-foot pavement width (half section of Secondary II) along Varner Road from the Palm Drive intersection to the Project Access 2 intersection near the northwest site boundary.
Construct new 26-foot pavement width (half section of Collector) along West Drive from the Varner Road intersection to the Project Access 4 intersection near the southeast site boundary.
At the intersection of Palm Drive and Varner Road, provide separate 90-foot-long left turn lanes for the eastbound and westbound approaches.
Cross-street stop sign controls will adequately serve the Project driveway intersections on Varner Road and West Road. Cross-street stop sign control will also adequately serve the West Drive intersection at Varner Road.

9 2 METHODOLOGIES
This section of the report presents the methodologies used to perform the traffic analyses summarized in this report. The methodologies described are consistent with the County of Riverside Traffic Study Guidelines. (1)
2.1 LEVEL OF SERVICE
Traffic operations of roadway facilities are described using the term “Level of Service” (LOS). LOS is a qualitative description of traffic flow based on several factors, such as speed, travel time, delay, and freedom to maneuver. Six levels are typically defined ranging from LOS A, representing completely free-flow conditions, to LOS F, representing breakdown in flow resulting in stop-and-go conditions.
LOS E represents operations at or near Capacity, an unstable level where vehicles are operating with the minimum spacing for maintaining uniform flow.
2.2 INTERSECTION CAPACITY ANALYSIS
The definitions of LOS for interrupted traffic flow (flow restrained by the existence of traffic signals and other traffic control devices) differ slightly depending on the type of traffic control. The LOS is typically dependent on the quality of traffic flow at the intersections along a roadway. The 7th Edition Highway Capacity Manual (HCM) methodology expresses the LOS at an intersection in terms of delay time for the various intersection approaches. (2)The HCM uses different procedures depending on the type of intersection control.
2.2.1 SIGNALIZED INTERSECTIONS
The City of Desert Hot Springs requires signalized intersection operations analysis based on the methodology described in the HCM. (2) Intersection LOS operations are based on an intersection’s average control delay. Control delay includes initial deceleration delay, queue move-up time, stopped delay, and final acceleration delay. For signalized intersections LOS is related to the average control delay per vehicle and is correlated to a LOS designation as described on Table 2-1.
The traffic modeling and signal timing optimization software package Synchro (Version 12) has been utilized to analyze signalized intersections. Synchro is a macroscopic traffic software program that is based on the signalized intersection Capacity analysis as specified in the HCM. Macroscopic level models represent traffic in terms of aggregate measures for each movement at the study intersections. Equations are used to determine measures of effectiveness such as delay and queue length. The level of service and Capacity analysis performed by Synchro takes into consideration optimization and coordination of signalized intersections within a network.
A saturation flow rate of 1900 has been utilized for all study area intersections located within the study area. The peak hour traffic volumes are adjusted using a peak hour factor (PHF) to reflect peak 15- minute volumes. Common practice for LOS analysis is to use a peak 15-minute rate of flow. However, flow rates are typically expressed in vehicles per hour. The PHF is the relationship between the peak 9 Item Number: 1.
Varner Road / West Drive Logistics Traffic Analysis
16328-03 TA Report.docx
10 15-minute flow rate and the full hourly volume (e.g. PHF = [Hourly Volume] / [4 x Peak 15-minute Flow Rate]). The use of a 15-minute PHF produces a more detailed analysis as compared to analyzing vehicles per hour. Existing PHFs have been used for all analysis scenarios. Per the HCM, PHF values over 0.95 often are indicative of high traffic volumes with capacity constraints on peak hour flows while lower PHF values are indicative of greater variability of flow during the peak hour. (2) TABLE 2-1: SIGNALIZED INTERSECTION LOS THRESHOLDS
2.2.2 UNSIGNALIZED INTERSECTIONS
The City of Desert Hot Springs requires the operations of unsignalized intersections be evaluated using the methodology described in the HCM. (2) The LOS rating is based on the weighted average control delay expressed in seconds per vehicle (see Table 2-2). At two-way or side-street stopcontrolled intersections, LOS is calculated for each controlled movement and for the left turn movement from the major street, as well as for the intersection as a whole. For approaches composed of a single lane, the delay is computed as the average of all movements in that lane. Delay for the intersection is reported for the worst individual movement at a two-way stop-controlled intersection.

TABLE 2-2: UNSIGNALIZED INTERSECTION LOS THRESHOLDS
2.3 TRAFFIC SIGNAL WARRANT ANALYSIS METHODOLOGY
The term “signal warrants” refers to the list of established criteria used by Caltrans and other public agencies to quantitatively justify or determine the potential need for installation of a traffic signal at an otherwise unsignalized intersection. This TA uses the signal warrant criteria presented in the latest edition of the Caltrans California Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices (CA MUTCD). (3) The signal warrant criteria for Existing study area intersections are based upon several factors, including volume of vehicular and pedestrian traffic, frequency of accidents, and location of school areas. The CA MUTCD indicates that the installation of a traffic signal should be considered if one or more of the signal warrants are met. (3) Specifically, this TA utilizes the Peak Hour Volume-based Warrant 3 as the appropriate representative traffic signal warrant analysis for existing traffic conditions and for all future analysis scenarios for existing unsignalized intersections. Warrant 3 is appropriate to use for this TA because it provides specialized warrant criteria for intersections with rural characteristics. For the purposes of this study, the speed limit was the basis for determining whether Urban or Rural warrants were used for a given intersection. Urban warrants have been used as posted speed limits on the major roadways with unsignalized intersections are 40 miles per hour or below and rural warrants have been used on roadways with speeds greater than 40 miles per hour.
Future intersections that do not currently exist have been assessed regarding the potential need for new traffic signals based on future average daily traffic (ADT) volumes, using the Caltrans planning level ADT-based signal warrant analysis worksheets. Similarly, the speed limit has been used as the basis for determining the use of Urban and Rural warrants. Traffic signal warrant analyses were performed for the following unsignalized study area intersection shown in Table 2-3:
Description Average Control Delay
(Seconds), V/C ≤ 1.0
Level of Service,
V/C ≤ 1.01
Little or no delays. 0 to 10.00 A
Short traffic delays. 10.01 to 15.00 B
Average traffic delays. 15.01 to 25.00 C
Long traffic delays. 25.01 to 35.00 D
Very long traffic delays. 35.01 to 50.00 E
Extreme traffic delays with intersection capacity exceeded. > 50.00 F Source: HCM, 6th Edition

The traffic signal warrant analyses for future conditions are presented in Section 5 EAP (2027) Traffic Conditions, Section 6 EAPC (2027) Traffic Conditions, and Section 7 Horizon Year 2045 Traffic Conditions of this report.
It is important to note that a signal warrant defines the minimum condition under which the installation of a traffic signal might be warranted. Meeting this threshold condition does not require that a traffic control signal be installed at a particular location, but rather, that other traffic factors and conditions be evaluated in order to determine whether the signal is truly justified. It should also be noted that signal warrants do not necessarily correlate with LOS. An intersection may satisfy a signal warrant condition and operate at or above acceptable LOS or operate below acceptable LOS and not meet a signal warrant.
2.4 MINIMUM ACCEPTABLE LEVELS OF SERVICE (LOS)
The City of Desert Hot Springs’ General Plan recommends a minimum LOS standard of LOS D or better.
If during the LOS evaluations an intersect City of Desert Hot Springs ion or roadway segment is found to not meet the requisite LOS standard as established by the’ General Plan, improvement modifications will be evaluated to bring the forecasted deficiency to within acceptable LOS thresholds.
The following deficiency criteria has been utilized for the City of Desert Hot Springs to determine whether the addition of project-related traffic at a study intersection would result in a deficiency:
A deficiency occurs at study area intersections if the pre-Project condition is at or better than LOS D (i.e., acceptable LOS), and the addition of project trips causes the peak hour LOS of the study area intersection to operate at unacceptable LOS (i.e., LOS E or F). Per the County of Riverside traffic study guidelines, for intersections currently operating at unacceptable LOS (LOS E or F), a deficiency will occur if the Project contributes 50 or more peak hour trips to pre-project traffic conditions. 12 Item Number: 1.

24 3.5 EXISTING (2025) TRAFFIC COUNTS
The intersection LOS analysis is based on the traffic volumes observed during the peak hour conditions using traffic count data collected in January 2025. The following peak hours were selected for analysis:
Weekday AM Peak Hour (peak hour between 7:00 AM and 9:00 AM) Weekday PM Peak Hour (peak hour between 4:00 PM and 6:00 PM) The raw manual peak hour turning movement traffic count data sheets are included in Appendix 3.1.
The weekday AM and PM peak hour count data are representative of typical peak hour traffic conditions in the study area. There were no observations made in the field that would indicate atypical traffic conditions on the count dates, such as construction activity that would prevent or limit roadway access and detour routes. These raw turning volumes have been flow-conserved between intersections with limited access, no access and where there are currently no uses generating traffic.
Existing weekday ADT volumes are shown on Exhibit 3-10. Where actual 24-hour tube count data was not available, Existing ADT volumes were based upon factored intersection peak hour counts collected by Urban Crossroads, Inc. using the following formula for each intersection leg:
Weekday PM Peak Hour (Approach Volume + Exit Volume) x 12.195 = Leg Volume A comparison of the PM peak hour and daily traffic volumes of various roadway segments within the study area indicated that the peak-to-daily relationship is approximately 8.2 percent. As such, the above equation utilizing a factor of 12.195 estimates the ADT volumes on the study area roadway segments assuming a peak-to-daily relationship of approximately 8.2 percent (i.e., 1/0.082 = 12.19) and was assumed to sufficiently estimate average daily traffic (ADT) volumes for planning-level analyses.
3.6 TRAFFIC OPERATIONS ANALYSIS
Existing peak hour traffic operations have been evaluated for the study area intersections based on the analysis methodologies presented in Section 2.2 Intersection Capacity Analysis of this report. The intersection operations analysis results are summarized on Table 3-1. Study area intersections are currently operating at an acceptable LOS (LOS “D” or better) during the peak hours.
The intersection operations analysis worksheets are included in Appendix 3.2 of this TA.
Daily roadway segment analysis has also been performed for existing study area conditions, as shown in Table 3-2. It is important to note that daily roadway capacities are "rule of thumb" estimates for planning purposes. Roadway segment capacity is affected by such factors as intersections (spacing, lane configuration and control features), degree of access control, roadway grades, design geometrics (horizontal and vertical alignment standards), sight distance, and vehicle mix (including truck traffic). 24 Item Number: 1.

29 4 PROJECTED FUTURE TRAFFIC
This section presents the traffic volumes estimated to be generated by the Project, as well as the Project’s trip assignment onto the study area roadway network. The Project is proposed to consist of up to 1,500,000 square feet of high-cube warehouse.
It is anticipated that the Project would be fully developed by year 2027. Access to the Project will be provided via full access intersections along Varner Road (two driveways) and West Drive (two driveways).
4.1 PROJECT TRIP GENERATION
The Institute of Transportation Engineers (ITE) Trip Generation Manual – 11th Edition (2021) shows a range of trip rates for high cube warehouses, with the following daily rates:
Code 154, High-cube Transload/Short-Term Storage - 1.40 vehicle trips per thousand square feet (tsf). Code 155, High-Cube Fulfillment Center (Non-Sort Facility) – 1.81 per tsf. Code 155, High-Cube Fulfillment Center (Sort Facility) – 6.41 per tsf. Code 156, High Cube Parcel Hub, 4.63 per tsf.
Code 157, High Cube Cold Storage, 2.12 per tsf.
It is important to note that the relatively high ITE Code 155 – Sort rate information page displays a “Caution – Small Sample Size” warning because the data is based on only two 2016 sample locations.
The Western Riverside Council of Government (WRCOG) commissioned two studies to address the recurring analytical issues for analysis of traffic impacts associated with proposed high-cube warehouses:
1. TUMF High-Cube Warehouse Trip Generation Study (WSP, January 29, 2019). The 2019 WSP study included 11 fulfillment centers and 5 parcel hub sites, using data collected during 2018. The resulting average rate for fulfillment centers was found to be 2.13 vehicle trips per thousand square feet (tsf).
2. TUMF High-Cube Warehouse Trip Generation Study Update (Fehr & Peers, November 13, 2023).
The 2023 F&P study also included 11 fulfillment centers and 5 parcel hub sites, using data collected during 2023. The 2023 F&P study found that as a whole, trips from fulfillment centers have decreased in comparison to the WSP 2019 study, and further notes that “The use of overly conservative estimates has produced results that were unreasonable when compared to actual field conditions. For example, the EIR for the Skechers high-cube warehouse building in Moreno Valley included traffic forecasts that were substantially higher than the actual post-construction trip generation for both cars and trucks. Overstated forecasts are misleading to decisions makers and could result in oversized infrastructure that could itself have environmental consequences.” 29 Item Number: 1.
Varner Road / West Drive Logistics Traffic Analysis
16328-03 TA Report.docx
30 The WSP 2019 study daily trip rate of 2.13 is higher than the ITE rates for Code 154 High-cube Transload/Short-Term Storage, Code 155 High-Cube Fulfillment Center (Non-Sort Facility), and Code 157 High Cube Cold Storage trip rates. Although it is lower than the Code 155 High-Cube Fulfillment Center (Sort Facility) and Code 156 High Cube Parcel Hub trip rates, it is based on two rigorous Riverside County data collection efforts in 2018 and 2023 and has been shown to be conservatively high in comparison to the 2023 counts while remaining within a reasonable range for analysis purposes.
Table 4-1 presents the vehicle trip generation rates for the Project, as well as the vehicle trip generation summary with daily and peak hour trip generation estimates. The Table 4-1 trip generation rates are based upon the TUMF High-Cube Warehouse Trip Generation Study (WSP 2019).
As shown on Table 4-1, the Project is anticipated to generate a total of 3,194 vehicle trip-ends per day with 183 AM peak vehicle hour trips and 248 PM peak hour vehicle trips.
Refinements to the raw trip generation estimates for the Project have been made to provide a more detailed breakdown of trips by vehicle type (passenger cars or trucks). Passenger car equivalents (PCEs) allow the typical “real‐world” mix of vehicle types to be represented as a single, standardized unit, such as the passenger car, to be used for the purposes of capacity and level of service analyses.
As shown on Table 4-2, the Project is anticipated to generate a total of 5,114 PCE trip-ends per day with 293 PCE AM peak vehicle hour trips and 398 PCE PM peak hour vehicle trips.
4.2 PROJECT TRIP DISTRIBUTION
The Project trip distribution and assignment process represents the directional orientation of traffic to and from the Project site. The trip distribution pattern is heavily influenced by the geographical location of the site, the location of surrounding uses, and the proximity to the regional freeway system.
Project trip distribution patterns for trucks and passenger cars are illustrated on Exhibits 4-1 and 4-2, respectively
4.3 MODAL SPLIT
The potential for Project trips (non-truck) to be reduced by the use of public transit, walking or bicycling have not been included as part of the Project’s estimated trip generation. Essentially, the Project’s traffic projections are “conservative” in that these alternative travel modes would reduce the forecasted traffic volumes.

Varner Road / West Drive Logistics Traffic Analysis
16328-03 TA Report.docx
35 4.4 PROJECT TRIP ASSIGNMENT
The assignment of traffic from the Project area to the adjoining roadway system is based upon the Project trip generation, trip distribution, and the arterial highway and local street system improvements that would be in place by the time of initial occupancy of the Project. Based on the identified Project traffic generation and trip distribution patterns, Project weekday ADT and weekday peak hour intersection turning movement volumes are shown on Exhibit 4-3.
4.5 BACKGROUND FUTURE TRAFFIC
Future year traffic forecasts have been based upon background (ambient) growth at 2% per year for 2027 traffic conditions. The total ambient growth is 4.04% for 2027 traffic conditions. The ambient growth factor is intended to approximate regional traffic growth. This ambient growth rate is added to existing traffic volumes to account for area-wide growth not reflected by cumulative development projects.
The near-term traffic analysis includes the following traffic conditions, with the various traffic components:
EAP (2027)
o Existing (2025) volumes
o Ambient growth traffic (4.04% over 2 years)
o Project Traffic
EAPC (2027)
o Existing (2025) volumes
o Ambient growth traffic (4.04% over 2 years)
o Project Traffic
o Cumulative Development traffic
4.6 CUMULATIVE DEVELOPMENT TRAFFIC
The cumulative projects listed are those that would generate traffic and would contribute traffic to study area intersections.
Exhibit 4-4 illustrates the cumulative development location map. A summary of cumulative development projects and their proposed land uses are shown on Table 4-3. If applicable, the traffic generated by individual cumulative projects was manually added to the Opening Year Cumulative forecasts to ensure that traffic generated by the listed cumulative development projects on Table 4-3 are reflected as part of the background traffic. In an effort to conduct a conservative analysis, the cumulative projects are added in conjunction with the ambient growth identified in Section 4.5 Background Traffic.

Varner Road / West Drive Logistics Traffic Analysis
16328-03 TA Report.docx
39 5 EAP (2027) TRAFFIC CONDITIONS
This section discusses the traffic forecasts for Existing plus Ambient Growth plus Project (EAP) conditions and the resulting intersection operations and traffic signal warrant analyses.
It is anticipated that the Project would initially use Varner Road as its sole connection to Palm Drive.
The future off-site extension of Mihalyo Road from West Drive to Palm Drive is evaluated for General Plan buildout conditions only.
5.1 EAP TRAFFIC VOLUME FORECASTS
This scenario includes Existing traffic volumes plus an ambient growth factor of 4.04% and the addition of Project traffic. The weekday ADT and weekday peak hour intersection turning movement volumes which can be expected for EAP (2027) traffic conditions are shown on Exhibit 5-1.
5.2 TRAFFIC OPERATIONS ANALYSIS
EAP peak hour traffic operations have been evaluated for the study area intersections based on the analysis methodologies presented in Section 2 Methodologies of this TA. The intersection analysis results are summarized in Table 5-1, which indicates that study area intersections continue to operate at an acceptable LOS (LOS “D” or better) for opening year (2027) conditions, with the addition of Project traffic.
The intersection operations analysis worksheets for EAP traffic conditions is included in Appendix 5.1 of this TA.
Daily roadway segment analysis has also been performed for EAP conditions, as shown in Table 5-2.
As discussed previously, daily roadway capacities are "rule of thumb" estimates for planning purposes. Roadway segment capacity is affected by such factors as intersections (spacing, lane configuration and control features), degree of access control, roadway grades, design geometrics (horizontal and vertical alignment standards), sight distance, and vehicle mix (including truck traffic).
In three cases, the EAP daily roadway segment volumes are anticipated to exceed daily capacity estimates: Palm Drive north and south of Varner Road, Palm Drive south of Paul Road. As such, where the ADT volume-based roadway segment analysis indicates a potential deficiency, a review of the more detailed peak hour intersection analysis and progression analysis are undertaken. Review of peak hour intersection analysis results indicate that acceptable operations are actually provided north and south of Varner Road and south of Paul Road.

43 The unsignalized intersections are not anticipated to meet peak hour volume-based warrants and daily volume-based warrants with the addition of Project traffic (see Appendix 3.3).
5.4 RECOMMENDED IMPROVEMENTS
Roadway improvements necessary to provide site access and on-site circulation consist of the following:
Construct new 32-foot pavement width (half section of Secondary II) along Varner Road from the Palm Drive intersection to the Project Access 2 intersection near the northwest site boundary.
Construct new 26-foot pavement width (half section of Collector) along West Drive from the Varner Road intersection to the Project Access 4 intersection near the southeast site boundary.
At the intersection of Palm Drive and Varner Road, provide separate 90-foot-long left turn lanes for the eastbound and westbound approaches.
Cross-street stop sign controls will adequately serve the Project driveway intersections on Varner Road and West Road. Cross-street stop sign control will also adequately serve the West Drive intersection at Varner Road.

45 6 EAPC (2027) TRAFFIC CONDITIONS
This section discusses the methods used to develop Existing plus Ambient Growth plus Project plus Cumulative (EAPC) (2027) traffic forecasts, and the resulting intersection operations and traffic signal warrant analyses.
The lane configurations and traffic controls assumed to be in place for EAPC (2027) conditions include the construction of Varner Road from the Palm Drive intersection to the Project Access 2 intersection near the northwest site boundary.
6.1 EAPC (2027) TRAFFIC VOLUME FORECASTS
This scenario includes Existing traffic volumes plus an ambient growth factor of 4.04% plus traffic from pending and approved but not yet constructed known development projects in the area. The weekday ADT and weekday peak hour volumes which can be expected for EAPC (2027) traffic conditions are shown on Exhibit 6-1.
6.2 TRAFFIC OPERATIONS ANALYSIS
LOS calculations were conducted for the study intersections to evaluate their operations under EAPC (2027) traffic conditions with project access roadway improvements. The intersection analysis results summarized in Table 6-1 indicate that study area intersections continue to operate at an acceptable LOS (LOS “D” or better) with the addition of cumulative traffic. The intersection operations analysis worksheets for EAPC traffic conditions are included in Appendix 6.1 of this TA.
Daily roadway segment analysis has also been performed for EAPC conditions, as shown in Table 6-2.
Daily roadway capacities are "rule of thumb" estimates for planning purposes. Roadway segment capacity is affected by such factors as intersections (spacing, lane configuration and control features), degree of access control, roadway grades, design geometrics (horizontal and vertical alignment standards), sight distance, and vehicle mix (including truck traffic).
In three cases, the EAPC daily roadway segment volumes are anticipated to exceed daily capacity estimates: Palm Drive north and south of Varner Road, Palm Drive south of Paul Road. As such, where the ADT volume-based roadway segment analysis indicates a potential deficiency, a review of the more detailed peak hour intersection analysis and progression analysis are undertaken. Review of EAPC peak hour intersection analysis results indicate that acceptable operations are actually provided north and south of Varner Road and south of Paul Road.
6.3 TRAFFIC SIGNAL WARRANTS ANALYSIS

49 7 HORIZON YEAR 2045 TRAFFIC CONDITIONS
This section discusses the methods used to develop Horizon Year 2045 traffic forecasts, and the resulting intersection operations and traffic signal warrant analyses. For comparison purposes, Horizon Year 2045 is evaluated with the Desert Land Ventures Specific Plan (DLVSP), and with the proposed Project.
The future segment of Mihalyo Road extending from south of Varner Road through the Project site to West Drive is proposed to be removed from the City of Desert Hot Springs General Plan Circulation Element.
7.1 HORIZON YEAR 2045 TRAFFIC VOLUME FORECASTS
The lane configurations and traffic controls assumed to be in place for Horizon Year 2045 include the following:
Project driveways and those facilities assumed to be constructed by the Project to provide site access, including Varner Road improvements west of Palm Drive.
Facilities assumed to be constructed in conjunction with off-site General Plan land uses are also assumed to be in place for Horizon Year 2045 conditions (e.g., the future off-site extension of Mihalyo Road from West Drive to Palm Drive).
Other General Plan facilities located beyond this study area are anticipated to be in place for Horizon Year traffic conditions and would affect the travel patterns within the study area (e.g., the future extension of Valley Center Boulevard east of Palm Drive).
This scenario incorporates Project traffic and RIVTAM forecasts beyond EAPC 2027 conditions.
Traffic projections for Horizon Year conditions were derived from the RIVTAM model using accepted procedures for model forecast refinement and smoothing. The traffic forecasts reflect the area-wide growth anticipated between EAPC 2027 and Horizon Year traffic conditions.
In most instances the traffic model zone structure is not designed to provide accurate turning movements along arterial roadways unless refinement and reasonableness checking is performed.
Therefore, the Horizon Year peak hour forecasts were refined using the model derived long-range forecasts, along with other sources of cumulative future traffic.
The derived Horizon Year peak hour turning movements were then reviewed by Urban Crossroads for reasonableness, in comparison to Cumulative 2027 traffic volume projections, traffic projections provided in the Desert Hot Springs General Plan Update Traffic Impact Analysis (Ganddini Group Inc, July 8, 1019), traffic projections provided in the Desert Land Ventures III LLC Property Traffic Impact Analysis (Kunzman Associates, Inc. October 23, 2017), and traffic projections provided in the Cathedral City General Plan Update Transportation Analysis (Urban Crossroads, Inc. February 13, 2019) (4) (5) (6). 49 Item Number: 1.

50 The Project is located on the site of the previously approved Desert Land Ventures Specific Plan (DLVSP). Land uses permitted in the DLVSP include 1,538,757 square feet of light industrial and 359,042 square feet of commercial retail. The ADT and peak hour volumes which can be expected for Horizon Year 2045 With Desert Land Ventures Specific Plan traffic conditions are shown on Exhibit 7-
1. The ADT and peak hour volumes which can be expected for Horizon Year 2045 With Project traffic conditions are displayed on Exhibit 7-2.
7.2 TRAFFIC OPERATIONS ANALYSIS
Horizon Year 2045 With Desert Land Ventures Specific Plan and With Project peak hour traffic operations have been evaluated for the study area intersections based on the analysis methodologies presented in Section 2 Methodologies of this TA.
The intersection analysis results are summarized in Table 7-1.
WITH DESERT LAND VENTURES SPECIFIC PLAN
As shown in the Desert Land Ventures III LLC Property Traffic Impact Analysis (Kunzman Associates, Inc.
October 23, 2017), the DSVLP land uses generate 28,719 vehicle trip-ends per day with 2,138 AM peak vehicle hour trips and 2,828 PM peak hour vehicle trips.
For Horizon Year 2045 With Desert Land Ventures Specific Plan conditions, the following intersection improvements would be required to provide acceptable LOS:
#3 – Palm Dr. / Paul Rd. – Valley Center Bl.
Provide a 3rd NB through lane and a separate NB right turn lane with overlap phase. Provide a 3rd SB through lane.
Provide a separate WB left turn lane and one WB right turn lane with overlap phase. #4 – Palm Dr. / Varner Rd.
Provide a 2nd NB left turn lane and a 3rd NB through lane. Provide a 3rd SB through lane and a separate SB right turn lane Provide 2 EB left turn lanes and 1 EB right turn lane with overlap phase. Provide a separate WB left turn lane.

55 For Horizon Year 2045 With Desert Land Ventures Specific Plan and With Project traffic conditions, study intersections operate at an acceptable LOS (LOS “D” or better) during AM and PM peak hours with the improvements documented above.
The intersection operations analysis worksheets for Horizon Year 2045 with Project traffic conditions are included in Appendix 7.2 of this TA.
In addition, queuing analysis results at the Project access points are presented in Table 7-2. As shown in Table 7-2, the Project access driveway lengths provided in the preliminary site plan are adequate to serve 95th percentile outbound queue lengths. The 95th percentile queuing analysis worksheets at the Project access points are also included in Appendix 7.2 of this TA.
Daily roadway segment analysis has also been performed for Horizon Year 2045 With Desert Land Ventures Specific Plan and With Project traffic conditions, as shown in Table 7-2. Daily roadway capacities are "rule of thumb" estimates for planning purposes. Roadway segment capacity is affected by such factors as intersections (spacing, lane configuration and control features), degree of access control, roadway grades, design geometrics (horizontal and vertical alignment standards), sight distance, and vehicle mix (including truck traffic).
For Horizon Year 2045 With Desert Land Ventures Specific Plan traffic conditions with Palm Drive widened to six lanes throughout the study area, the long-range future daily roadway segment volumes are anticipated to exceed daily capacity estimates at four locations: Palm Drive north and south of Varner Road, Palm Drive north Paul Road, and Palm Drive north of the I-10 westbound ramps. In addition, the daily volume is anticipated to exceed daily capacity on Mihalyo Road west of Palm Drive.
For Horizon Year 2045 With Project traffic conditions with Palm Drive widened to six lanes throughout the study area, the long-range future daily roadway volumes are anticipated to exceed daily capacity estimates at two locations: Palm Drive north Paul Road, and Palm Drive north of the I-10 westbound ramps.
Where the ADT volume-based roadway segment analysis indicates a potential deficiency, a review of the more detailed peak hour intersection analysis and progression analysis are undertaken. Review of 2045 peak hour intersection analysis results indicate that acceptable operations are provided along Palm Drive with the combination of (1) widening of Palm Drive to six through travel lanes throughout the study area, and (2) intersection lane improvements as listed above.

59 8 SITE ACCESS AND OFF-SITE ROADWAY IMPROVEMENTS
The Project is proposed to be served by full access intersections along Varner Road (2 driveways) and West Drive (2 driveways).
8.1 SITE ACCESS
It is anticipated that the Project would initially use Varner Road as its sole connection to Palm Drive.
The following site access improvements should be in place prior to occupancy, as shown on Exhibit 8-
1. Roadway improvements necessary to provide site access and on-site circulation consist of the following:
Construct new 32-foot pavement width (half section of Secondary II) along Varner Road from the Palm Drive intersection to the Project Access 2 intersection near the northwest site boundary.
Construct new 26-foot pavement width (half section of Collector) along West Drive from the Varner Road intersection to the Project Access 4 intersection near the southeast site boundary.
At the intersection of Palm Drive and Varner Road, provide separate 90-foot-long left turn lanes for the eastbound and westbound approaches.
Cross-street stop sign controls will adequately serve the Project driveway intersections on Varner Road and West Road. Cross-street stop sign control will also adequately serve the West Drive intersection at Varner Road.
West Dr. / Varner Rd. (#5)
Provide a cross-street stop for the northbound approach. Provide a shared northbound left/right lane.
Project Access 1 / Varner Road (#6)

VARNER ROAD / WEST DRIVE LOGISTICS LOS ANALYSIS SCOPE
Dear Mr. Daniel Porras:
Urban Crossroads, Inc. is pleased to submit this traffic Level of Service (LOS) scope to the City of Desert Hot Springs regarding the proposed Varner Road / West Drive Logistics development (“Project”). The Project site is located south of Varner Road and west of West Drive in the City of Desert Hot Springs.
The project consists of up to 1,500,000 square feet of high-cube warehouse.
The remainder of this letter describes the proposed analysis methodology, Project trip generation, trip distribution, and Project traffic assignment/project trips on the surrounding roadway network. The following scoping assumptions have been prepared in accordance with the County of Riverside’s Transportation Analysis Guidelines for Level of Service & Vehicle Miles Traveled (December 2020) as the City of Desert Hot Springs utilizes the County guidelines.
A preliminary site plan for the proposed Project is shown on Exhibit 1. Although the site plan shows a building size of 1,209,230 square feet, up to 1,500,000 square feet of high cube warehouse could occur at the site based on the Project description. The activity levels associated with 1,500,000 square feet of high cube warehouse are therefore used as the basis of this analysis.
Exhibit 2 depicts the location of the proposed project in relation to the existing and planned roadway network. It is anticipated that the Project would be fully developed by year 2027. Access to the Project will be provided via full access intersections along Varner Road (2 driveways) and West Drive (2 driveways).
TRIP GENERATION
The Institute of Transportation Engineers (ITE) Trip Generation Manual – 11th Edition (2021) shows a range of trip rates for high cube warehouses, with the following daily rates:
Code 154, High-cube Transload/Short-Term Storage - 1.40 vehicle trips per thousand square feet (tsf). Code 155, High-Cube Fulfillment Center (Non-Sort Facility) – 1.81 per tsf. Code 155, High-Cube Fulfillment Center (Sort Facility) – 6.41 per tsf. Code 156, High Cube Parcel Hub, 4.63 per tsf.
Code 157, High Cube Cold Storage, 2.12 per tsf.

It is important to note that the relatively high ITE Code 155 – Sort rate information page displays a “Caution – Small Sample Size” warning because the data is based on only two 2016 sample locations.
The Western Riverside Council of Government (WRCOG) commissioned two studies to address the recurring analytical issues for analysis of traffic impacts associated with proposed high-cube warehouses:
1. TUMF High-Cube Warehouse Trip Generation Study (WSP, January 29, 2019). The 2019 WSP study included 11 fulfillment centers and 5 parcel hup sites, using data collected during 2018.
The resulting average rate for fulfillment centers was found to be 2.13 vehicle trips per thousand square feet (tsf).
2. TUMF High-Cube Warehouse Trip Generation Study Update (Fehr & Peers, November 13, 2023). The 2023 F&P study also included 11 fulfillment centers and 5 parcel hup sites, using data collected during 2023. The 2023 F&P study found that as a whole, trips from fulfillment centers have decreased in comparison to the WSP 2019 study, and further notes that “The use of overly conservative estimates has produced results that were unreasonable when compared to actual field conditions. For example, the EIR for the Skechers high-cube warehouse building in Moreno Valley included traffic forecasts that were substantially higher than the actual post-construction trip generation for both cars and trucks. Overstated forecasts are misleading to decisions makers and could result in oversized infrastructure that could itself have environmental consequences.”
The WSP 2019 study daily trip rate of 2.13 is higher than the ITE rates for Code 154 High-cube Transload/Short-Term Storage, Code 155 High-Cube Fulfillment Center (Non-Sort Facility), and Code 157 High Cube Cold Storage trip rates. Although it is lower than the Code 155 High-Cube Fulfillment Center (Sort Facility) and Code 156 High Cube Parcel Hub trip rates, it is based on two rigorous Riverside County data collection efforts in 2018 and 2023 and has been shown to be conservatively high in comparison to the 2023 counts while remaining within a reasonable range for analysis purposes.
Table 1 presents the vehicle trip generation rates for the Project, as well as the vehicle trip generation summary with daily and peak hour trip generation estimates. The Table 1 trip generation rates are based upon the TUMF High-Cube Warehouse Trip Generation Study (WSP 2019).
As shown on Table 1, the Project is anticipated to generate a total of 3,194 vehicle trip-ends per day with 183 AM peak vehicle hour trips and 248 PM peak hour vehicle trips.
Refinements to the raw trip generation estimates for the Project have been made to provide a more detailed breakdown of trips by vehicle type (passenger cars or trucks). Passenger car equivalents (PCEs) allow the typical “real‐world” mix of vehicle types to be represented as a single, standardized unit, such as the passenger car, to be used for the purposes of capacity and level of service analyses.
As shown on Table 2, the Project is anticipated to generate a total of 5,114 PCE trip-ends per day with 293 PCE AM peak vehicle hour trips and 398 PCE PM peak hour vehicle trips.

TRIP DISTRIBUTION AND TRIP ASSIGNMENT
It is anticipated that the Project would initially use Varner Road as its sole connection to Palm Drive.
The future off-site extension of Mihalyo Road from West Drive to Palm Drive will be evaluated for General Plan buildout conditions only.
The Project trip distribution pattern is heavily influenced by the geographical location of the site, the location of surrounding uses, and the proximity to the regional freeway system. Exhibits 3 and 4 present the Project traffic distribution patterns for trucks and passenger vehicles, respectively.
Based on the identified Project traffic generation and trip distribution patterns, Project ADT and peak hour intersection turning movement volumes (PCEs) are shown on Exhibit 5.
ANALYSIS SCENARIOS
Consistent with the County’s LOS guidelines, intersection analysis will be provided for the following analysis scenarios:
Existing (2025) Conditions
Existing plus Ambient plus Project (EAP) (2027)
Existing plus Ambient plus Project plus Cumulative (EAPC) (2027) General Plan buildout (Horizon Year 2045) With Desert Land Ventures SP General Plan buildout (Horizon Year 2045) With Project
STUDY AREA
The traffic impact study area was defined in conformance with the requirements of County of Riverside’s Transportation Analysis Guidelines for Level of Service & Vehicle Miles Traveled. Consistent with the County’s LOS guidelines, study area intersections have been identified for the Project based on the contribution of 50 or more peak hour trips. Exhibit 2 identifies the proposed study area intersection analysis locations.
Based on this criterion, anticipated trip generation and trip distribution, the following intersections will be evaluated:
# Intersection # Intersection
1 Palm Dr. / I-10 EB Ramps 6 Project Access 1 / Varner Rd. 2 Palm Dr. / I-10 WB Ramps 7 Project Access 2 / Varner Rd. 3 Palm Dr. / Paul Rd. - Future Valley Center Bl. 8 West Dr. / Project Access 3 4 Palm Dr. / Varner Rd. 9 West Dr. / Project Access 4 - Future Mihalyo Rd. 5 West Dr. / Varner Rd. 10 Palm Dr. / Future Mihalyo Rd.

LEVEL OF SERVICE (LOS) CRITERIA
Per the City of Desert Hot Springs’s General Plan, LOS D as the threshold for acceptable traffic conditions on the circulation network.
ANALYSIS METHODOLOGY
For the purposes of this analysis, signalized intersection operations analysis will be based on the methodology described in the Highway Capacity Manual (7th Edition). Intersection LOS operations are based on an intersection’s average control delay. Unsignalized intersections will be evaluated using the methodology described in the HCM 7th Edition. At two-way or side-street stop-controlled intersections, LOS is calculated for each controlled movement and for the left turn movement from the major street, as well as for the intersection as a whole. For approaches composed of a single lane, the delay is computed as the average of all movements in that lane.
TRAFFIC COUNTS
Traffic count data will be collected in January 2025, during the AM peak period of 7:00 AM to 9:00 AM and PM peak period of 4:00 PM to 6:00 PM.
The City of Desert Hot Springs experiences seasonal population variations over the course of the year, with relatively higher populations during the winter months from January to the end of March. The 2025 count data will be collected during January, so a seasonal adjustment to represent the peak winter period will not be needed.
GENERAL PLAN CIRCULATION ELEMENT
The City of Desert Hot Springs General Plan Circulation Element is depicted on Exhibit 6. The segment of Mihalyo Road which extends from south of Varner Road through the Project site to West Drive is proposed to be removed from the City of Desert Hot Springs General Plan Circulation Element.
The accompanying City of Desert Hot Springs General Plan roadway cross‐sections are presented on Exhibit 7.
The Cathedral City General Plan Circulation Element is depicted on Exhibit 8. The accompanying General Plan roadway cross‐sections are presented on Exhibit 9.
CUMULATIVE DEVELOPMENT TRAFFIC
It is requested that City staff review the list of cumulative development projects (shown on Exhibit 10 and listed on Table 3) for inclusion in the traffic study

Consistent with other studies performed in the area, an ambient growth rate of 2% per year will be utilized as a minimum if necessary. The rate will be compounded over a 2-year period (i.e.,
1.022years = 1.0404 or 4.04%) for Interim Year (2027) conditions.
SPECIAL ISSUES
The following issues will also be addressed as part of the Traffic Analysis (TA):
Traffic Signal Warrant Analysis: Signal warrant analysis will be prepared for all unsignalized study area intersections that allow for full access (no traffic signal warrants to be performed for restricted access locations due to infeasibility of installing a signal at these types of locations).
Queuing Analysis: The analysis will identify the necessary lengths of turn pockets with storage at Project Access points, as well as the necessary length to accommodate vehicles entering/exiting at the Project driveways.
Site Access and Circulation: Potential impacts resulting from turning maneuvers by trucks and passenger cars entering and exiting the site.
Please review this LOS scope and provide any comments or your concurrence. If you have any questions, please contact John Kain at (949) 375-2435 or Marlie Whiteman at (714) 585-0574.
