MEMORANDUM
To: Jarrett Ramaiya, City Planner
City of Murrieta
From: Trevor Briggs, P.E.
Kimley-Horn and Associates, Inc.
Date: July 19, 2022
Subject: Vehicle Miles Traveled Memorandum for the LMC Murrieta Multi-Family Project in the City of Murrieta
Kimley-Horn and Associates, Inc. has prepared a Vehicle Miles Traveled (VMT) memorandum for the proposed LMC Murrieta Mult-Family project. The City has required submittal of this memorandum based on the City of Murrieta's Traffic Impact Analysis Preparation Guidelines (March 2021).
PROJECT DESCRIPTION
The project site is located on the southeast corner of Jefferson Avenue and Murrieta Hot Springs Road in the City of Murrieta. The proposed project within its regional vicinity is shown on Figure
1. The project site is bounded by Murrieta Hot Springs Road to the north, Madison Marketplace to the east, vacant land to the south, and Jefferson Avenue to the west. The project site is currently vacant. The project would involve the construction of 390 multi-family dwelling units on 13.0 net acres. A copy of the project site plan is provided on Figure 2.
Vehicular access provisions for the project site would be provided via two driveways. The main entrance would be located along Jefferson Avenue and would provide full-movement access. The secondary entrance would be located along Murrieta Hot Springs Road and would provide right in right-out (RIRO) only access. Both project driveways would be unsignalized.
TRIP GENERATION
The trip generation rates for the project site were based on the Institute of Transportation Engineers (ITE) Trip Generation Manual, 11 th Edition (2021). Trip generation rates and the resulting project trips are summarized in Table 1. Review of this table indicates that the proposed project is forecasted to generate 2,629 daily trips, with 156 trips (37 inbound and 119 outbound) during the morning peak hour and 199 trips (125 inbound and 74 outbound) during the evening peak hour.

VEHICLE MILES TRAVELED (VMT) ASSESSMENT
Senate Bill 743 (SB 743) was approved by California legislature in September 2013. SB 743 requires changes to California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), specifically directing the Governor's Office of Planning and Research (OPR) to develop alternative metrics to the use of vehicular "Level of Service" (LOS) for evaluating transportation projects . OPR has prepared a technical advisory ("OPR Technical Advisory") for evaluating transportation impacts in CEQA and has recommended that Vehicle Miles Traveled (VMT) replace LOS as the primary measure of transportation impacts. The Natural Resources Agency has adopted updates to CEQA Guidelines to incorporate SB 743 that requires VMT for the purposes of determining a significant transportation impact under CEQA.
The City of Murrieta's Traffic Impact Analysis Preparation Guidelines (March 2021) provide details on appropriate screening thresholds that can be used to identify when a proposed land use project is anticipated to result in a less-than-significant impact without conducting a more detailed level analysis. Screening thresholds are broken down into the following criteria:
1. Project Type Screening
2. General Plan Comparison
Land development projects that meet one or more of the above screening thresholds may be presumed to create a less-than-significant impact on transportation and circulation.
Project 'J){pe Screening
The City presumes various usages, assumed to be local serving in nature, as having a less-than significant impact absent of substantial evidence to the contrary. The following uses are considered:
Projects generating less than 110 daily vehicle trips
• 11 single family housing units
• 16 multi-family, condominiums, or townhouse housing units • 10,000 sfofoffice
• 15,000 sf of light industrial
• 63,000 sf of warehouse
• Local-serving retail that primarily serves the City and/or adjacent cities • Office and other employment-related land uses reducing commutes outside the local area • Local-serving day care centers, pre-K, and K-12 schools • Local parks and civic uses
• Local-serving gas stations, banks, and hotels
• Local-serving community colleges that are consistent with SCAG RTP /SCS assumptions • Student housing projects
kimley-horn.com 1100 W Town and County Road, Suite 700, Orange, CA 92868 714 939 1030 Kimley >>> Horn Ms. Kawata, July 19, 2022, Page 6
The proposed project includes 390 multi-family dwelling units with approximately 2,629 vehicle trips per day. Therefore, the project would not satisfy the project type screening.
The Project Type threshold is not met.
General Plan Comparison
In the City of Murrieta General Plan, the project site is zoned as Community Commercial within the Transit Oriented Development (TOD) Overlay Program. The TOD allows for a mixture of residential and non-residential development within a density of 30 dwelling units per acre, in close proximity to transit.
As noted previously, the project consists of 390 dwelling units on 13.0 net acres, which equates to 30.0 dwelling units per acre. Therefore, the density of the proposed project is within the land use and zoning assumptions in the City's General Plan and would not generate more VMT than what was analyzed in the General Plan. Based on the City's Guidelines, the project's VMT impact would be considered less than significant, and no further VMT analysis would be required.
FINDINGS AND CONCLUSIONS
Based on review of the City's VMT screening thresholds, the project would be consistent with the assumptions in the City's General Plan; therefore, the project would result in a less-than significant transportation impact, no additional VMT analysis is required.
