Fresno Specific Plan of the West Area
CEQA Impacts and Mitigations
Date: March 9, 2021 Project #: 23674
To: Steve McMurtry, De Novo Planning Group
From: Aaron Elias, Kittelson & Associates, Inc.

This memorandum presents the findings of the transportation impact analysis conducted for the Fresno Specific Plan of the West Area (herein referred to as the “Specific Plan”). The proposed Specific Plan will establish the land use planning and regulatory guidance, including the land use and zoning designations and policies, for the approximately 7,077-acre Specific Plan Area. The Specific Plan Area is triangular in shape and located west of State Route 99. It is bounded on the south by West Clinton Avenue, and to the west by Grantland and Garfield Avenues (Figure 1). The Specific Plan Area includes the southwest portion of Highway City adjacent to State Route 99. The Specific Plan will serve as a bridge between the Fresno General Plan and individual development applications in the Specific Plan Area.

The Specific Plan seeks to provide for the orderly and consistent development that promotes and establishes the West Area as a complete neighborhood with enhanced transportation infrastructure, development of core commercial centers, creation of additional parkland, and encouraging the development of a diverse housing stock. The Specific Plan Area does not currently have needed commercial amenities, forcing residents to travel east of State Route 99 for retail services. The Specific Plan Area also lacks a complete roadway network and parkland.

Ultimately, the Specific Plan will provide the blueprint to develop up to 54,521 dwelling units (DU) (including 46,620 DU in the residential category and 7,901 DU in the mixed-use category) and 48,890,001.60 square feet (SF) of non-residential uses. The proposed land use plan also designates public facility uses that are currently existing within the Specific Plan Area, including schools and churches.

EXISTING CONDITIONS
A description of the existing roadway, transit, bicycle, and pedestrian components of the transportation system within the Specific Plan Area follow.

Roadway Network
The existing roadway network in the Specific Plan Area is composed of a street system made up of freeways, super arterials, arterial and collector roads. Roadway classifications listed are from the City of Fresno General Plan.

Freeways
State Route 99 (SR-99) is a six-lane freeway with a posted speed limit of 65 miles per hour. The northwest-southeast freeway connects most major cities in Central California including Chico, Bakersfield, Selma, Sacramento, Modesto, and Fresno. It also provides access to the greater freeway network with direct connections to State Route 180 and State Route 41.

The Project is bordered by SR-99 on the northeast side. The average daily traffic on SR-99 near the Project site ranges between approximately 82,000 and 112,000 vehicles per day. Bicyclists and pedestrians are not allowed on this facility.

Super Arterials
Grantland Avenue is a two-lane to four-lane north-south roadway with a posted speed limit of 40 miles per hour near the Project site. The facility extents from I-99 on the north to Kearny Blvd on the south.

The facility is a four-lane roadway with a median north of Shaw Avenue, and a two-lane roadway south of Shaw Avenue. Sidewalks are limited, and additional sidewalks, Class I and Class II bikeways are planned along the roadway.

Veterans Boulevard is currently a single lane in each direction between Riverside Drive and N. Hayes Avenue east of SR 99 and a six-lane stub roadway west of SR 99. However, the Veterans Boulevard Interchange and Corridor Improvement Project is currently underway which will connect these two facilities and create a six-lane super arterial in northwest Fresno connecting Herndon Avenue in the north to Shaw Avenue in the south including the construction of an interchange with SR 99.

Arterials
North-South
Polk Avenue is a two-lane north-south roadway with a posted speed limit of 35 or 40 MPH near the Plan Area. The facility extends from SR-99 on the north to Olive Avenue on the south. Sidewalks and Class II bike lanes exist intermittently and are proposed along the roadway.

Shaw Avenue is a two-lane east-west roadway with a posted speed limit of 35 to 45 MPH near the Plan Area. The facility extents from the San Joaquin River on the west to the Friant-Kern Canal on the east.

Sidewalks and Class II bike lanes are proposed along the roadway.

Ashlan Avenue is a two-lane to four-lane east-west roadway with a posted speed limit of 40 to 50 MPH near the Plan Area. The facility extends from Grantland Ave on the west and becomes Watts Valley Road on the east. Sidewalks and Class II bike lanes exist intermittently and are proposed along the roadway.

Grantland Avenue north of Shaw Avenue is a two lane north-south roadway with a posted speed limit of 40 MPH in the Plan Area. North of Shaw Avenue, Grantland Avenue extends north to SR 99 near the Herndon Avenue interchange. There are no sidewalks of bicycle facilities on this facility.

Blythe Avenue from Ashlan Avenue to Dakota Avenue is a two lane north-south roadway with a center median located along most of its length. The speed limit is posted as 40 MPH. Sidewalks are generally available along frontages that have been developed but no sidewalks are present along undeveloped parcels. Class II bicycle lane exist intermittently in both the northbound and southbound directions.

Kittelson & Associates, Inc. Oakland, California
o Dakota Avenue
o Shields Avenue
o Clinton Avenue
Collectors are generally two-lane roadways with posted speeds of 30 to 45 miles per hour. Sidewalks and bike lanes are generally not present but are proposed along most collectors.

Transit Facilities
Fresno is primarily served by the Fresno Area Express (FAX) transit system which operates bus service and paratransit operations servicing the city. Regional connections are provided by the Fresno County Rural Transit Agency (FCRTA) and Amtrak for travel outside of the Fresno-Clovis Metropolitan Area.

Fresno Area Express (FAX)
FAX provides the principal bus service in the City of Fresno. It operates seventeen routes and Handy Ride, a paratransit operation, with a fleet of over 100 buses, and Handy Ride, its paratransit operation, with a fleet of over 50 vehicles. FAX operates three routes that directly serve the Specific Plan Area through nearby street-side bus stops, with additional service coming into the Plan Area in 2021. Bus service on these routes is detailed in Table 1 with the routes near the Specific Plan Area shown in Figure

2. Route 12 provides local commuter and weekend service with the route originating or terminating at Shields Avenue/Brawley Avenue and San Jose Avenue/Marty Avenue intersections where it concerts into Route 35. Between these two origin/destinations, the route has fixed stops as it runs mostly along Brawley Avenue and Cornelia in the Plan Area, from Clinton Avenue to Shaw Avenue. Key destinations served include Central High School, Inspiration Park, and Forestriere Underground Gardens.

Route 35 provides local commuter and weekend service with the route originating or terminating in the Plan Area at Shields Avenue/Brawley Avenue where it converts into Route 12 and on the east side of Fresno at the intersection of Belmont Avenue/Clovis Avenue. In the Plan Area, the route provides fixed stops along Brawley and Clinton Avenues. Key destinations served by the route include the DMV, Talking Book Library, Post Office, and the Social Security Office.

Route 39 provides local commuter and weekend service with the route originating or terminating at Brawley Avenue/Shields Avenue intersection and Fresno Yosemite International Air Terminal. Between these two origin/destinations, Route 39 runs in a loop from Clinton Avenue/Marks Avenue to Brawley Avenue/Shields Avenue in the Plan Area where it has fixed stops. Key destinations served include by Fresno High School, Fresno City College, Veteran’s Medical Center, and Alliant University.

Bicycle and Pedestrian Facilities
Bicycle and pedestrian facilities are important components of the transportation network in the Specific Plan Area. They not only offer non-vehicular opportunities for both commute and recreational trips but also provide connections to the region’s transit network.

Existing Bicycle Facilities
Bicycle facilities are defined by the following four classes1:
• Class I – Provides a completely separated facility designed for the exclusive use of bicyclists and pedestrians with crossing points minimized.
• Class II – Provides a restricted right-of-way designated lane for the exclusive or semi-exclusive use of bicycles with through travel by motor vehicles or pedestrians prohibited, but with vehicle parking and crossflows by pedestrians and motorists permitted.
• Class III – Provides a right-of-way designated by signs or permanent markings and shared with pedestrians and motorists.
• Class IV – Provides a restricted right-of-way designated lane for the exclusive use of bicyclists that is separated by a vertical element to provide further separation from motor vehicle traffic.

The City of Fresno adopted the Active Transportation Plan (ATP) in March 2017. This plan identifies existing and future planned bicycle facilities within the City’s jurisdiction.

The following bikeways are currently present within the study area at intermittent locations on major roads. They are shown graphically in Figure 4:
• Class II Bike Lanes
o East/West Streets
▪ Bullard Avenue, east of Grantland Avenue
▪ Barstow Avenue, west of Grantland Avenue
▪ Gettysburg Avenue, east of Hayes Avenue
▪ Ashlan Avenue, east of Cornelia Avenue
▪ Dakota Avenue, east of Polk Avenue
▪ Clinton Avenue, east of Cornelia Avenue
o North/ South Streets
▪ Grantland Avenue, south of SR-99
▪ Bryan Avenue, south of Gettysburg Avenue

Planned and Proposed Bicycle Facilities
The ATP includes planned and proposed bikeway facilities in the Plan Area. They are discussed below and shown in Figure 4:
• Class I Bike Paths
o Grantland Avenue, south of Gettysburg Avenue
o Veteran’s Boulevard (proposed), north of Gettysburg Avenue o Gettysburg Avenue, east of Cornelia Avenue
• Class II Bike Lanes
o All arterials and collectors
Bike lanes on Veterans Blvd (proposed), Gettysburg Avenue, and Cornelia Avenue are identified as priority bikeways in the ATP.

Pedestrian Facilities
Pedestrian facilities are present in the Specific Plan Area. Sidewalks are present intermittently along some major roadways. Sidewalks are proposed on most arterials and collectors. Crosswalks are present intermittently at signalized and unsignalized intersections in the Specific Plan Area. Figure 5 shows existing and planned sidewalks in the Specific Plan Area.

The City of Fresno adopted the 2016 Update to the ADA Transition Plan for the Right of Way (ROW) in February 2016. The ROW Transition Plan incorporates retrofitting Curb Ramps, Sidewalks, and Accessible Pedestrian Signals and replaced the 2003 Amended Curb Ramp Transition Plan. 99 N BLYTHE AVE

REGULATORY SETTING
This section summarizes applicable federal, state, regional, and local plans, laws, and regulations that are relevant to this analysis. This information provides a context for the discussion related to the Project’s consistency with applicable policies, plans, laws, and regulations.

Federal
No federal plans, policies, regulations, or laws pertaining to transportation have been determined to be applicable to this Project.

State
Senate Bill 743 (SB 743) was signed into law in September 2013. Senate Bill 743 (Steinberg, 2013) required changes to the CEQA Guidelines regarding the analysis of transportation impacts. Historically, CEQA transportation analyses of individual projects determined impacts in the circulation system in terms of roadway delay and/or capacity at specific locations. SB 743 changes include the elimination of auto delay, level of service (LOS), and other similar measures of vehicular capacity or traffic congestion as a basis for determining significant impacts. Those proposed changes identify vehicle miles traveled (VMT) as the most appropriate metric to evaluate a project’s transportation impacts. Since the bill has gone into effect, automobile delay, as measured by “level of service” and other similar metrics, no longer constitutes a significant environmental effect under CEQA. Auto-mobility (often expressed as “level of service”) may continue to be a measure for planning purposes.2 In December 2018, the California Governor’s Office of Planning and Research (OPR) and the State Natural Resources Agency submitted updated CEQA Guidelines to the Office of Administrative Law for final approval to implement SB 743. The Office of Administrative Law approved the updated CEQA Guidelines, thus implementing SB 743 and making VMT the primary metric used to analyze transportation impacts. The final text, final statement of reasons, and related materials are posted at http://resources.ca.gov/ceqa. The changes have been approved by the Office of the Administrative Law and are now in effect. For land use and transportation projects, SB 743-compliant CEQA analysis became mandatory on July 1, 2020.

Regional
Fresno Council of Governments
The Fresno COG is a voluntary association of local governments and a regional planning agency comprised of 16 member jurisdictions, including the City of Fresno. The members are represented by a Policy Board consisting of mayors of each incorporated city, and the Chairman of the County Board of Supervisors, or their designated elected official. The Fresno COG’s purpose is to establish a consensus on the needs of the Fresno County area and further action plans for issues related to the Fresno County region. The current regional transportation plan, known as the Fresno County Regional Transportation Plan (RTP) (2042), was adopted in 2018. The RTP addresses GHG emissions reductions and other air emissions related to transportation, with the goal of preparing for future growth in a sustainable way.

The plan specifies how funding will be sourced and financed for the region’s planned transportation investments, ongoing operations, and maintenance. The goals, objectives, and policies of the RTP are established to direct the courses of action that will provide efficient, integrated multimodal transportation systems to serve the mobility needs of people, including accessible pedestrian and bicycle facilities, and freight, while fostering economic prosperity and development, and minimizing mobile sources of air pollution. These goals, objectives, and policies are organized into six categories:
• General Transportation;
• Highway, Streets, and Roads;
• Mass Transportation;
• Aviation;
• Active Transportation; and
• Rail
Fresno County Congestion Management Process
In June 1990, California voters approved legislation that required Congestion Management Plans (CMP) be developed in urbanized counties to address congestion on California’s highways and roads.

The Fresno County Congestion Management Process (CMP) implements this requirement and its responsibilities include providing information on transportation system performance and assess alternative strategies for alleviating congestion and improving mobility for people and goods to levels that meet State and local needs. The Fresno County CMP identifies four general objectives:

1. Optimize the transportation facilities through efficient system management;

2. Invest in strategies that reduce travel demand, improve system performance, increase safety, and provide effective incident management;

3. Reduce VMT by encouraging alternative modes of transportation and promotion of sustainable land use development; and

4. improve public transit, extend bicycle and pedestrian systems, and promote car‐sharing and bike‐sharing programs to facilitate the development of an integrated multimodal transportation system in the Fresno region
Local
City of Fresno 2035 General Plan
The City of Fresno adopted the Fresno 2035 General Plan3in December 2014 as an update to the previous Fresno General Plan approved in 2002. It serves as the City’s guide for the continued development, enhancement, and revitalization of the Fresno metropolitan area. The following policies related to transportation and circulation are applicable to the Project:
• Policy MT-1-d - Integrate Land Use and Transportation Planning. Plan for and maintain a coordinated and well-integrated land use pattern, local circulation network and transportation system that accommodates planned growth, reduces impacts on adjacent land uses, and preserves the integrity of established neighborhoods.
• Policy MT-1-f - Match Travel Demand with Transportation Facilities. Designate the types and intensities of land uses at locations such that related travel demands can be accommodated by a variety of viable transportation modes and support Complete Neighborhoods while avoiding the rerouting of excessive or incompatible traffic through local residential streets. • Policy MT-1-g - Complete Streets Concept Implementation. Provide transportation facilities based upon a Complete Streets concept that facilitates the balanced use of all viable travel modes (pedestrians, bicyclists, motor vehicle and transit users), meeting the transportation needs of all ages, income groups, and abilities and providing mobility for a variety of trip purposes, while also supporting other City goals.
• Policy MT-1-m - Standards for Planned Bus Rapid Transit Corridors and Activity Centers.

Independent of the Traffic Impact Zones identified in MT-2-I and Figure MT-4, strive to maintain the following vehicle LOS standards on major roadway segments and intersections along Bus Rapid Transit Corridors and in Activity Centers:
o LOS E or better at all times, including peak travel times, unless the City Traffic Engineer determines that mitigation to maintain this LOS would be infeasible and/or conflict with the achievement of other General Plan policies.
o Accept LOS F conditions in Activity Centers and Bus Rapid Transit Corridors only if provisions are made to improve the overall system and/or promote non-vehicular transportation and transit as part of a development project or a City-initiated project.

In accepting LOS F conditions, the City Traffic Engineer may request limited analyses of 3 City of Fresno General Plan 2035, December 18, 2014.

Fresno Specific Plan of the West Area Project #: 23674
March 9, 2021 Page 16
Kittelson & Associates, Inc. Oakland, California
operational issues at locations near Activity Centers and along Bus Rapid Transit Corridors, such as queuing or left-turn movements.
o Give priority to maintaining pedestrian service first, followed by transit service and then by vehicle LOS, where conflicts between objectives for service capacity between different transportation modes occur.
o Identify pedestrian-priority and transit-priority streets where these modes would have priority in order to apply a multi-modal priority system, as part of the General Plan implementation
• Policy MT-2-b - Reduce Vehicle Miles Traveled and Trips. Partner with major employers and other responsible agencies, such the San Joaquin Valley Air Pollution Control District and the Fresno Council of Governments, to implement trip reduction strategies, such as eTRIP, to reduce total vehicle miles traveled and the total number of daily and peak hour vehicle trips, thereby making better use of the existing transportation system. • Policy MT-2-c - Reduce VMT through Infill Development. Provide incentives for infill development that would provide jobs and services closer to housing and multi-modal transportations corridors in order to reduce citywide vehicle miles travelled (VMT). • Policy MT-2-d - Street Redesign where Excess Capacity Exists. Evaluate opportunities to reduce right of way and/or redesign streets to support non-automobile travel modes along streets with excess roadway capacity where adjacent land use is not expected to change over the planning period
• Policy MT-2-e - Driveway and Access Consolidation. Take advantage of opportunities to consolidate driveways, access points, and curb cuts along designated major roadways when a change in development or a change in intensity occurs or when traffic operation or safety warrants
• Policy MT-2-f - Optimization of Roadway Operations. Optimize roadway operations by continuing to expand the use of techniques such as the City’s intelligent transportation system (ITS) to manage traffic signal timing coordination in order to improve traffic operations and increase traffic-carrying capacity, while reducing unnecessary congestion and decreasing air pollution emissions. In order to facilitate roadway optimization and as a potential revenue source for the optimization, the following strategies need to be implemented:
o Dig Once Policy. Install conduit for telecommunications use when trenching or construction occurs.
o Telecommunications Strategy. Develop a costing mechanism for allowing the use of excess conduit within the City for use by communication carriers. The Policy shall follow regulations of the California Public Utilities Commission. o Grant Funding. Pursue grant funding to assist in construction and/or implementation of fiber-optic or other telecommunication infrastructure for additional public services such as education, economic development, reaching underserved populations, and public safety communications.
• Policy MT-2-g - Transportation Demand Management and Transportation System Management. Pursue implementation of Transportation Demand Management and Fresno Specific Plan of the West Area Project #: 23674
March 9, 2021 Page 17
Kittelson & Associates, Inc. Oakland, California
Transportation System Management strategies to reduce peak hour vehicle traffic and supplement the capacity of the transportation system.
• Policy MT-2-i - Transportation Impact Studies. Require a Transportation Impact Study (currently named Traffic Impact Study) to assess the impacts of new development projects on existing and planned streets for projects meeting one or more of the following criteria, unless it is determined by the City Traffic Engineer that the project site and surrounding area already has appropriate multi-modal infrastructure improvements.
o When a project includes a General Plan amendment that changes the General Plan Land Use Designation.
o When the project will substantially change the off-site transportation system (auto, transit, bike or pedestrian) or connection to the system, as determined by the City Traffic Engineer.
o Transportation impact criteria are tiered based on a project’s location within the City’s Sphere of Influence. This is to assist with areas being incentivized for development. The four zones, as defined on Figure MT-4, are listed below. The following criteria apply:
▪ Traffic Impact Zone I (TIZ-I): TIZ-I represents the Downtown Planning Area.

Maintain a peak hour LOS standard of F or better for all intersections and roadway segments. A TIS will be required for all development projected to generate 200 or more peak hour new vehicle trips.
▪ Traffic Impact Zone II (TIZ-II): TIZ-II generally represents areas of the City currently built up and wanting to encourage infill development. Maintain a peak hour LOS standard of E or better for all intersections and roadway segments. A TIS will be required for all development projected to generate 200 or more peak hour new vehicle trips.
▪ Traffic Impact Zone III (TIZ-III): TIZ-III generally represents areas near or outside the City Limits but within the SOI as of December 31, 2012. Maintain a peak hour LOS standard of D or better for all intersections and roadway segments. A TIS will be required for all development projected to generate 100 or more peak hour new vehicle trips.
▪ Traffic Impact Zone IV (TIZ-IV): TIZ-IV represents the southern employment areas within and planned by the City. Maintain a peak hour LOS standard of E or better for all intersections and roadway segments. A TIZ will be required for all development projected to generate 200 or more peak hour new vehicle trips. • Policy MT-2-l - Region-Wide Transportation Impact Fees. Continue to support the implementation of metropolitan-wide and region-wide transportation impact fees sufficient to cover the proportional share of a development's impacts and need for a comprehensive multi-modal transportation system that is not funded by other sources. Work with the Council of Fresno County Governments, transportation agencies (e.g., Caltrans, Federal Transportation Agency) and other jurisdictions in the region to develop a method for determining:
o Regional transportation impacts of new development;
Fresno Specific Plan of the West Area Project #: 23674
March 9, 2021 Page 18
Kittelson & Associates, Inc. Oakland, California
o Regional highways, streets, rail, trails, public transportation, and goods movement system components, consistent with the General Plan, necessary to mitigate those impacts and serve projected demands;
o Projected full lifetime costs of the regional transportation system components, including construction, operation, and maintenance; and o Costs covered by established funding sources.
• Policy MT-4-b - Bikeway Improvements. Establish and implement property development standards to assure that projects adjacent to designated bikeways provide adequate right-of-way and that necessary improvements are constructed to implement the planned bikeway system shown on Figure MT-2 to provide for bikeways, to the extent feasible, when existing roadways are reconstructed; and alternative bikeway alignments or routes where inadequate right-of-way is available.
• Policy MT-4-d - Prioritization of Bikeway Improvements. Prioritize bikeway components that link existing separated sections of the system, or that are likely to serve the highest concentration of existing or potential cyclists, particularly in those neighborhoods with low vehicle ownership rates, or that are likely to serve destination areas with the highest demand such as schools, shopping areas, recreational and park areas, and employment centers • Policy MT-5-a - Sidewalk Development. Pursue funding and implement standards for development of sidewalks on public streets, with priority given to meeting the needs of persons with physical and vision limitations; providing safe routes to school; completing pedestrian improvements in established neighborhoods with lower vehicle ownership rates; or providing pedestrian access to public transportation routes
• Policy MT-5-b - Sidewalk Requirements. Assure adequate access for pedestrians and people with disabilities in new residential developments per adopted City policies, consistent with the California Building Code and the Americans with Disabilities Act. • Policy MT-5-d - Pedestrian Safety. Minimize vehicular and pedestrian conflicts on both major and non-roadways through implementation of traffic access design and control standards addressing street intersections, median island openings and access driveways to facilitate accessibility while reducing congestion and increasing safety. Increase safety and accessibility for pedestrians with vision disabilities through the installation of Accessible Pedestrian Signals at signalized intersections
• Policy MT-5-e - Traffic Management in Established Neighborhoods. Establish acceptable design and improvement standards and provide traffic planning assistance to established neighborhoods to identify practical traffic management and calming methods to enhance the pedestrian environment with costs equitably assigned to properties receiving the benefits or generating excessive vehicle traffic
• Policy MT-6-g - Path and Trail Development. Require all projects to incorporate planned multi-purpose path and trail development standards and corridor linkages consistent with the General Plan, applicable law and case-by-case determinations as a condition of project approval Fresno Specific Plan of the West Area Project #: 23674
March 9, 2021 Page 19
Kittelson & Associates, Inc. Oakland, California
• Policy MT-8-a - Street Design Coordinated with Transit. Coordinate the planning, design, and construction of the major roadway network with transit operators to facilitate efficient direct transit routing throughout the Planning Area.
• Policy MT-8-c - New Development Facilitating Transit. Continue to review development proposals in transportation corridors to ensure they are designed to facilitate transit.

Coordinate all projects that have residential or employment densities suitable for transit services, so they are located along existing or planned transit corridors or that otherwise have the potential for transit orientation to FAX, and consider FAX’s comments in decision-making • Policy MT-11-c - Truck Route Designations. Continue to plan and designate truck routes within the Metropolitan Area to facilitate access to and from goods production and processing areas while minimizing conflicts with other transportation priorities The General Plan also has policies related to maintaining acceptable Levels of Service (LOS). However, LOS can no longer be used for CEQA evaluations and is therefore not relevant to this memorandum focusing on CEQA impacts. Additional analyses of the Specific Plan will be documented in another report that will detail LOS.

City of Fresno Active Transportation Plan
The City of Fresno Active Transportation Plan (ATP)4is a comprehensive guide that creates a vision for active transportation in the City of Fresno. It is an update to the City of Fresno Bicycle, Pedestrian, & Trails, Master Plan that was adopted in 2010. This plan lays out specific goals to improve bicycle access and connectivity in Fresno. These goals include the following:
• Equitably improve the safety and perceived safety of walking and bicycling in Fresno; • Increase walking and bicycling trips in Fresno by creating user friendly facilities; • Improve the geographical equity of access to walking and bicycling facilities in Fresno; and • Fill key gaps in Fresno’s walking and bicycling networks.

City of Fresno ADA Transition Plan for the Right of Way (ROW) On February 25, 2016 the City Council adopted the 2016 Update to the ADA Transition Plan for the Right of Way (ROW). The ROW Transition Plan incorporates retrofitting Curb Ramps, Sidewalks, and Accessible Pedestrian Signals and replaces the 2003 Amended Curb Ramp Transition Plan. The goal of the ADA Transition Plan for the ROW is to ensure that the City maintains accessible paths of travel in the ROW for people with disabilities.

City of Fresno VMT Guidelines
The City of Fresno adopted their VMT guidelines on June 25, 20205. This document serves as a detailed guideline for preparing VMT analysis consistent with SB 743 requirements for development projects, transportation projects, and plans. Key elements of these guidelines include:
• The County of Fresno was selected as the region for assessing VMT impacts. Therefore, all projects will compare their VMT metrics against the county averages. • The guidelines state the following significant thresholds for land development projects in the City of Fresno:
o 13 percent below existing regional average VMT per capita for residential projects o 13 percent below existing regional average VMT per employee for office projects o No net increase in VMT for retail projects.
• For land use plans such as specific plans and general plans, the guidelines compare the existing VMT per capita and/or VMT per employee for the region with the expected horizon year VMT per capita and/or VMT per employee for the land use plan. If there is a net increase in the applicable VMT metrics (VMT/capita and VMT/employee) under horizon year conditions, then the project will have a significant impact.

TRANSPORTATION ANALYSIS
The transportation analysis assesses how the study area’s transportation system would operate with the implementation of the proposed Specific Plan. This analysis includes effects that would result in significant impacts under the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) guidelines.

CEQA Significance Criteria
The Project’s impact is not considered to be significant unless it would:
a. Conflict with a program, plan, ordinance, or policy addressing the circulation system, including transit, roadway, bicycle, and pedestrian facilities.
b. Conflict or be inconsistent with CEQA Guideline section 15064.3, subdivision (b). c. Substantially increase hazards due to a geometric design feature (e.g., sharp curves or dangerous intersections) or incompatible uses (e.g., farm equipment). d. Result in inadequate emergency access.

Significance criteria “b” is related to the implementation of vehicle miles traveled (VMT) as the primary performance metric. The following criteria are used to assess a significant impact related to VMT consistent with the City of Fresno “CEQA Guidelines for Vehicle Miles Traveled Thresholds” dated June 25, 2020:
• A proposed (residential) project exceeding a level of 13 percent below existing regional average6 VMT per capita may indicate a significant transportation impact. • A similar threshold would apply to office projects (13 percent below existing regional average VMT per employee).
• VMT generated by retail projects would indicate a significant impact for any net increase in total VMT.
• Section 6 of the VMT guidelines includes Significance Criteria for Specific Plans: For land use plans such as the Specific Plan for the West Area, the recommended methodology for conducting VMT assessments is to compare the existing VMT per capita and/or VMT per employee for the region with the expected horizon year VMT per capita and/or VMT per employee for the land use plan. If there is a net increase in the VMT metric under horizon year conditions, then the project will have a significant impact. 6 The City of Fresno defines the region for applying these threshold as Fresno County Fresno Specific Plan of the West Area Project #: 23674
March 9, 2021 Page 22
Kittelson & Associates, Inc. Oakland, California
VMT Analysis
The Fresno Council of Governments’ (COG) Activity Based travel demand model was used to estimate existing and horizon year average VMT per capita and VMT per employee for the traffic analysis zones (TAZs) that comprise the Specific Plan Area and Fresno County. The number of dwelling units and employment for the Specific Plan Area were calculated at buildout and provided to Fresno COG. Fresno COG used the buildout numbers to run a population synthesizer to generate land use input files for running the activity-based model. These land use input files were then run through the activity-based model to develop horizon year (2035) forecasts with the buildout of the Specific Plan Area.

Table 2 presents VMT per capita and VMT per employee findings for existing conditions in Fresno County and for the Specific Plan Area at buildout in the horizon year. Based on the City of Fresno VMT Guidelines, a specific plan would have a significant impact if the VMT per capita and VMT per employee of the Specific Plan Area exceeded the same metrics for existing conditions in all of Fresno County.

As Table 2 shows, the VMT per capita and VMT per employee in the Specific Plan Area are lower than existing conditions. VMT per capita is 7.4 lower or 46% while VMT per employee is 12.4 lower or 48%.

The decrease in VMT is the result of the land use mix within the Specific Plan Area. The retail and employment opportunities keep the VMT per capita lower than the County average while the large number of dwelling units near the jobs allows employees to live close to work resulting in a VMT per employee that is lower than the County average today.

Table 2: VMT per Capita and VMT per Employee - Existing and Horizon Year Conditions Trip Type Fresno County (2019) Specific Plan Area (2035) Difference (%) VMT Per Capita 16.1 8.7 -7.4 (46%)
VMT Per Employee 25.6 13.2 -12.4 (48%)
Note: These numbers are based on Fresno COG’s Activity-Based Travel Demand Model, and the Land Use inputs obtained for horizon year 2035 from Fresno COG (assuming full buildout of the Fresno West area outlined in the specific plan) Source: Fresno COG Travel Demand Model, Kittelson & Associates, 2020.

CEQA PROJECT IMPACTS AND PROPOSED MITIGATIONS
TRAF-1 The proposed project would not conflict with a program, plan, ordinance or policy addressing the circulation system, including transit, roadway, bicycle, and pedestrian facilities. This would be considered a less than significant impact.

Development associated with the proposed Plan would increase the amount of multimodal transportation activity which would require the improvement and expansion of the local transportation network in the Specific Plan Area to serve the associated travel demand. The Specific Plan of the West Area Initiation Report includes the following guiding principles related to transit, bicycle and pedestrian travel:
• Accommodate and improve roadway access, connectivity and mobility among all modes of transportation, and prioritize roadway widening where bottlenecks exists. • Accommodate planned transit services in the West Area by locating routes near or adjacent to the community centers, schools, parks, and retail centers.

These guiding principles are consistent with General Plan policies which detail how the circulation system will be improved to meet the needs of all users. Implementation of the proposed Specific Plan would promote the use of alternative transportation modes by accelerating development in the West Area which would in turn require development of a circulation system that address all user. General Plan policies that would have to followed to build out the Specific Plan and address transit, roadway, bicycle, and pedestrian travel are:
• Policy MT-1-g - Complete Streets Concept Implementation. o Requires transportation facilities be based upon a Complete Streets concept that facilitates the balanced use of all viable travel modes (pedestrians, bicyclists, motor vehicle and transit users), meeting the transportation needs of all ages, income groups, and abilities and providing mobility for a variety of trip purposes, while also supporting other City goals
• Policy MT-1-m - Standards for Planned Bus Rapid Transit Corridors and Activity Centers. o Requires intersections and roadways along transit corridor and in activity centers maintain acceptable operations to facilitate transit movement. • Policy MT-2-d - Street Redesign where Excess Capacity Exists. o Requires roadways with extra capacity to be modified to “right size” the roadway. • Policy MT-4-b - Bikeway Improvements.
o Requires new development to set aside an adequate amount of right of way to construct bicycle facilities.
• Policy MT-4-d - Prioritization of Bikeway Improvements.

Fresno Specific Plan of the West Area Project #: 23674
March 9, 2021 Page 24
Kittelson & Associates, Inc. Oakland, California
o Prioritizes connections between existing facilities to complete a comprehensive bicycle network.
• Policy MT-5-a - Sidewalk Development.
o Establishs a goal of developing sidewalks to improve connectivity to transit • Policy MT-5-b - Sidewalk Requirements.
o Requires sidewalks to be constricted to the latest standards • Policy MT-6-g - Path and Trail Development.
o Requires planned multi use paths be constructed along with new development • Policy MT-8-a - Street Design Coordinated with Transit o Requires coordination with roadway design and transit to ensure an efficient public transportation system
• Policy MT-8-c - New Development Facilitating Transit. o Requires new development to facilitate transit.

Additionally, the Specific Plan has a strong emphasis on Complete Neighborhoods, which is a tool to achieve environmental justice. The concept of Complete Neighborhoods is to enable residents of Fresno to live in communities with convenient access to services, employment, and recreation within walking distance. It provides residents with amenities that make their neighborhood mostly self-sufficient and interconnected. According to the Specific Plan, planning for Complete Neighborhoods will help support the provision of resources to neighborhoods where they are currently lacking or are under-resourced. Section 5.4 of the Specific Plan includes a series of maps which show a reasonable walkshed from existing and planned schools; bus stops and trails; commercial uses; and parks and open space.

Since the guiding principles of the Specific Plan support the policies of the General Plan, no conflict with policies, plans, and programs for alternative transportation would occur from future development and redevelopment under the proposed Specific Plan of the West Area. Therefore, the impact would be less than significant and no mitigation measures would be required.

TRAF-2 The proposed project would conflict with or be inconsistent with CEQA Guideline section 15064.3, subdivision (b). This would be considered a potentially significant impact.

The Fresno COG Activity Based travel demand model was used to estimate existing and horizon year average VMT per capita and VMT per employee for the traffic analysis zones (TAZs) that comprise the Specific Plan Area and Fresno County. The number of dwelling units and employment for the Specific Plan Area were calculated at buildout and provided to Fresno COG. Fresno COG used the buildout numbers to run a population synthesizer to generate land use input files for running the activity-based Fresno Specific Plan of the West Area Project #: 23674

model. These land use input files were then run through the activity-based model to develop horizon year (2035) forecasts with the buildout of the Specific Plan Area.

Table 3 presents VMT per capita and VMT per employee findings for existing conditions in Fresno County and for the Plan Area at buildout in the horizon year. Based on the City of Fresno VMT Guidelines, a specific plan would have a significant impact if the VMT per capita and VMT per employee of the Specific Plan Area exceeded the same metrics for existing conditions in all of Fresno County.

As Table 3 shows, the projected VMT per capita and VMT per employee in the Plan Area are lower than existing conditions. Under the Specific Plan, VMT per capita is 7.4 lower, or 46% lower, while VMT per employee is 12.4 lower, or 48% lower. The decrease in VMT is the result of the proposed land use mix within the Plan Area. The retail and employment opportunities keep the VMT per capita lower than the County average, while the large number of dwelling units near the jobs allows employees to live close to work resulting in a VMT per employee that is lower than the County average today.

CONCLUSION
The City of Fresno VMT Guidelines state specific plans would have an impact if the VMT per capita or VMT per employee in the specific plan area for the horizon year increases compared to the existing VMT per capita or VMT per employee in the region (Fresno County). The VMT per capita in the Specific Plan Area during the horizon year is 8.7, while VMT per employee is 13.2. Under existing conditions in Fresno County, the VMT per capita is 16.1, while the VMT per employee is 25.6. Because the VMT per capita and VMT per employee in the Specific Plan Area during the horizon year is less than the VMT per capita and VMT per employee for existing conditions in Fresno County, the proposed Specific Plan would not result in a significant impact for residential and office projects. Therefore, impacts related to CEQA Guideline section 15064.3, subdivision (b), would be less than significant.

TRAF-3 The proposed project would not substantially increase hazards due to a geometric design feature (e.g., sharp curves or dangerous intersections) or incompatible uses (e.g., farm equipment). This would be considered a less than significant impact.

The Specific Plan is proposing to increase the density in the plan area compared to the City’s General Plan but is not proposing to change the types (i.e., residential, commercial, office, etc.) of land uses in the area. The Specific Plan of the West Area Initiation Report includes the following guiding principals related to transportation and hazards:
• Provide a complete, safe, and well-maintained sidewalk network from residential neighborhoods to commercial centers, schools, parks, and community centers. • Provide a complete, safe, and well-maintained roadway network that allows for efficient and smooth access from the West Area to other sections of the city and region.

Buildout of the proposed Specific Plan would result in some changes to the City’s circulation network, but would not increase hazards or incompatible uses due to design features. All future roadway system improvements associated with development and redevelopment activates under the Specific Plan would be designed in accordance with the established roadway design standards, some of which have also been incorporated into the Circulation Element of the General Plan.

General Plan policies that would address design and safety issues are:
• Policy MT-2-e - Driveway and Access Consolidation.
• Policy MT-2-i - Transportation Impact Studies.
• Policy MT-5-d - Pedestrian Safety.
• Policy MT-5-e - Traffic Management in Established Neighborhoods These improvements will be subject to review and future consideration by the City of Fresno. An evaluation of the roadway alignments, intersection geometrics, and traffic control features will be needed. Roadway improvements would have to be made in accordance with the City’s Circulation Plan, roadway functional design guidelines, and would have to meet design guidelines such as th accessibility requirements of Title 24 (California Building Code), ADA standards, California Manual of Uniform Traffic Control Devices (MUTCD), and the Caltrans Roadway Design Manual.

Implementation of the Specific Plan would not result in hazardous conditions, or create conflicting uses.

With implementation of policies MT-2-e, MT-2-I, and application of the conditions of approval at the time of review of land development projects, the Specific Plan would be designed to ensure that no hazardous circulation conditions are created as a result of implementation of the proposed project. The Specific Plan would implement components of the roadway system consistent with the City’s General Plan. Therefore, potential impactsrelated to hazards due to a geometric design feature or incompatible uses would be less than significant, and no mitigation measures would be required.

TRAF-4 The proposed project would result in inadequate emergency access. This would be considered a less than significant impact.

Emergency response requires a balance of emergency response time and evacuation needs with other community concerns, such as urban design and traffic calming. Future roadway improvements associated with buildout of the Plan Area would be made in accordance with the City’s Circulation Plan and roadway functional design guidelines.

With the application of the conditions of approval at the time of review of land development projects, the Specific Plan would be designed to ensure that adequate emergency access is provided. The Specific Plan would implement components of the roadway system consistent with the City’s General Plan.

Therefore, impacts related to inadequate emergency access would be less than significant, and no mitigation measures would be required.
