Dear Chelsea and Seimone:
The City of Irvine would like to submit the following comments for staff and City Council consideration re: Agenda Item No. 15, Land Use Entitlements for the Residences at 1300 Bristol Project (PA2021-161):
• Study area should probably be expanded further north on Von Karman and Jamboree to Main Street. Based on Figures 12 and 13, approximately 20% of inbound project traffic travels on Von Karman (5%) and Jamboree (15%) in the southbound direction and 30% of outbound traffic northbound (Von Karman 5%, Jamboree 25%). Both directions of travel on these roadways align with peak deficiencies on Irvine roadways on Jamboree and on Von Karman. • In terms of CEQA VMT analysis, it's logical that Newport Beach may have adopted a methodology that has this project physically located in a "lower than average VMT" area of Newport Beach which the staff report summarizes. This seems to be reflected in Section 11 of the Traffic Impact Analysis. However, Section 7 is entitled "CEQA analysis" and evaluates cumulative traffic impacts based on LOS. The title of Section 7 is confusing.
Please feel free to contact us with any questions/issues.
Thank you,
Melissa Chao
