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.
