Therefore, the property, including the 1928 Ripon Christian School building, 1928 auxiliary building, and associated landscape was not found to be eligible for listing on the CRHR under Criterion 2.

3. (Construction/Architecture): Embodies the distinctive characteristics of a type, period, region, or method of construction, or represents the work of an important creative individual, or possesses high artistic values.

Mission Revival
The 1928 Ripon Christian School building is associated with Mission Revival architectural style.

The building consists of character-defining features of this design, including symmetrical architectural elements, a low pitch roof with an eave overhang and exposed rafter tails, projecting wood posts (aka vigas), decorative curvilinear parapet, arched window and door openings, and double-hung wood windows. As such, the building appears eligible for listing on the CRHR for its association with Mission Revival architecture.

The 1928 Ripon Christian School building, 1928 auxiliary building, and associated landscape are not associated with any architectural style, form, or landscape architecture.

Builder
The builder of the 1928 Ripon Christian School was Lambert Ubels. Lambert was a skilled carpenter and builder who was a known building contractor in Ripon and neighboring towns, where Lambert also constructed buildings. However, it does not appear that he was a licensed architect and there is no evidence to suggest that Lambert was a master builder or craftsman.

He is not listed within any known publications for noted builders and is not associated with any buildings that are listed on the Pacific Coast Architecture Database (PCAD). As such, the 1928 Ripon Christian School is not eligible for its association with Lambert Ubels.

In summary, the 1928 Ripon Christian School building was found to be eligible for listing on the CRHR under Criterion 3 for association with Mission Revival architecture.

4. (Information potential): Has yielded, or may be likely to yield, information important in prehistory or history
Criterion D most commonly applies to resources that contain or are likely to contain information bearing on an important archaeological research question. While most often applied to archaeological sites, Criterion D can also apply to buildings that contain important information.

For a building to be eligible under Criterion D, it must be a principal source of important information, such as exhibiting a local variation on a standard design or construction technique The Terraces - CEQA Document - Mitigated Negative Declaration DPR 523L (Rev. 1/1995)(Word 9/2013)

TRAFFIC OPERATIONAL ANALYSIS FOR THE

BETHANY HOME INDEPENDENT SENIOR LIVING FACILITY
Ripon, California

INTRODUCTION
This report documents KD Anderson & Associates' assessment of traffic circulation, pedestrian safety and access associated with the Bethany Home Independent Senior Living Facility at 816 West Main Street in the City of Ripon, California. This assessment of traffic operations has been requested by the City of Ripon and addresses both the project’s effects at key intersections near the project and the adequacy and safety of project vehicular and pedestrian access.

Project Description
The Bethany Home Independent Senior Living Facility is a three story 107,700 ksf building to be located on a 2¼ acre parcel at the southeast corner of the W. Main Street / Vera Avenue intersection in the Historic Ripon district, as noted in Figure 1. The project site has previously been occupied by two medical office buildings and a small office building last used as meeting space. The site is bordered by Ripon Grace Church on the east and by private residences to the south. The project is one block east of Bethany Home’s existing Independent Living, Skilled Nursing and Assisted Living facilities at 930 W. Main Street.

The proposed project will provide 82 independent living units along with ancillary support facilities. As shown in Figure 2, the site will have 84 parking spaces, and vehicular access will occur at a full access driveway on Vera Avenue and via a connection to Ripon Grace Church’s existing right-turn-in-only connection to West Main Street near the Maple Avenue intersection.

The project is across W. Main Street from Ripon Christian School’s pre-school facility.

Analysis Approach
The City of Ripon has asked for a focused traffic study and provided these instructions:

We will be needing the traffic analysis to cover levels of service/congestion in the surrounding area and what this project might add, as well as an analysis of public safety as it relates to both vehicular and pedestrian traffic and circulation. Essentially, are there any modifications or mitigation measures needed to safely move vehicles on and off the site as well as pedestrian traffic between Bethany’s main campus and this new facility.

The overall approach to this traffic operational analysis describes the trip generation and travel characteristics of the project based on rates developed nationally for similar facilities. Current morning and afternoon peak hour traffic conditions in the area of the project which reflect peak commute activity and travel to the adjoining schools were collected and assessed. With that information traffic patterns at the access and at adjoining intersections were assessed with the project and operation of the access as proposed was investigated. The need for improvements to satisfy minimum City standards was considered. Current pedestrian activity in the area was identified and pedestrians caused by the project were projected to determine whether conflicts between automobiles and pedestrians are possible and whether safety improvements are needed.

EXISTING SETTING
This report section describes the transportation facilities that are available today serving vehicular, pedestrian and bicycle traffic and transit users in this area of Ripon, as well as General Plan policies that guide consideration of traffic operations.

Study Area Circulation System
Regionally, the new Bethany Home Senior Living Facility will be served by major City streets that link the existing Bethany Home operations with state highways and the rest of the community.

State Route 99 (SR 99) connects Ripon with the balance of San Joaquin County and with the Stockton and Modesto Metropolitan areas. In the area of the proposed project, access to the state highway occurs at grade separated interchanges on Main Street roughly ½ mile east of the site, on Fulton Avenue about ½ mile to the north and on Jack Tone Road about 1½ miles to the northwest.

Community-wide circulation is provided via Main Street and Wilma Avenue.

The limits of the area addressed by this study were identified in consultation with City staff based on their understanding of traffic conditions in this area of Ripon and on consideration of the characteristics of senior living facilities The text which follows provides additional detail regarding the streets, intersections and pedestrian facilities included in the study area.

Streets. These streets are near the project site.

Main Street is an east-west arterial street that runs easterly from an intersection with West Ripon Road at Jack Tone Road past the project site to an interchange on SR 99. The configuration of the street varies along its length. Just west of the Vera Avenue intersection, Main Street is a four-lane commercial street with continuous Two-Way Left-Turn (TWLT) lane and traffic signals at major intersections. The posted speed limit is 35 mph in this area. At the entrance to the Historic Ripon district Main Street narrows to a three-lane facility with one travel lane in each direction and TWLT lane, and this 40-foot cross section continues through the Vera Avenue intersection to Maple Avenue. On-street parking is prohibited in this area and the speed limit is 25 mph. The TWLT lane ends beyond Maple Avenue and W. Main Street has a through travel lane in each direction to Acacia Avenue. On-street parking is permitted on the north side along Ripon Elementary School.

Maple Avenue is a local street that extends north from Main Street towards SR 99 before turning to the west along the freeway at Garrison Way to Wilma Avenue. Maple Avenue is 40 feet wide (curb to curb) and accommodates on-street parking, as well as residential driveways.

Maple Avenue also provides access to Ripon Christian School’s Elementary, Middle and High Schools. The speed limit on Maple Avenue is 25 mph.

Vera Avenue is a north-south local street that extends southerly from Main Street to Doak Blvd at the community’s southern boundary. Vera Avenue is 40 feet wide (curb to curb) and accommodates on-street parking, as well as residential and commercial driveways. The speed limit on Vera Avenue is 25 mph.

The Terraces - CEQA Document - Mitigated Negative Declaration Traffic Operational Analysis for the Page 5
Bethany Home Independent Senior Living Facility, Ripon, CA (April 7, 2022) Intersections. The operation of an urban circulation system is typically limited by the capacity of major intersections, and two locations have been included in this analysis.

The Main Street / Vera Avenue intersection is a “tee” controlled by a stop sign on the northbound Vera Avenue approach. A right-turn-only exit from Ripon Christian School’s Pre-school is on the north side of the intersection. Vera Avenue has a single approach lane, but Main Street has a TWLT lane through the intersection to accommodate westbound left turns. Sidewalks exist on both sides of the intersection.

The Main Street / Maple Avenue intersection is a “tee” controlled by an all-way stop. On-street parking has been eliminated at the intersection in order to provide auxiliary right turn lanes on southbound Maple Avenue and on westbound Main Street, and a left turn lane is provided for eastbound traffic. A right-turn-in-only entrance to Ripon Grace Church exists about 40 feet west of the intersection, and a full access church driveway exists 150 feet east of the intersection.

Pedestrian Facilities. The extent of facilities for pedestrians and of measures taken to ensure their safety has been identified.

Sidewalks exist along all the streets in the study area. On the south side of W. Main Street the sidewalk is separated from the through travel lane within the Historic Ripon district.

Marked crosswalks exist across Vera Avenue at the W. Main Street intersection and on all three legs of the Maple Avenue intersection. Both intersections have depressed curbs at the corners that are ADA accessible. West of Vera Avenue the next marked crossing on W. Main Street occurs at the Wilma Avenue traffic signal about 650 feet away.

An overhead flashing beacon exists at the W. Main Street / Maple Avenue intersection.

The Ripon Unified School District provides a school crossing guard to direct traffic at the Main Street / Acacia Avenue intersection which adjoins Ripon Elementary School.

Standards of Significance: Levels of Service - Methodology Levels of Service were calculated at study area intersections in order to assess the quality of existing traffic conditions and to provide a basis for analyzing the effects of developing the Bethany Home Senior Living facility. "Level of Service" is a qualitative measure of traffic operating conditions whereby a letter grade "A" through "F", corresponding to progressively worsening operating conditions, is assigned to an intersection or roadway segment. The City of Ripon’s minimum standard is LOS D.

Analysis Methodology for Intersections. This analysis evaluates the operation of un-signalized intersections using the methodology described in the Highway Capacity Manual, 6th Edition (HCM). HCM techniques base Level of Service on the length of delays experienced by motorists waiting at stop signs or otherwise being required to yield the right of way at an intersection. Delay values can be reported as an average value for the overall operation of the intersection in the case The Terraces - CEQA Document - Mitigated Negative Declaration Traffic Operational Analysis for the Page 6
Bethany Home Independent Senior Living Facility, Ripon, CA (April 7, 2022) of all-way stop controls or for each movement where motorists are required to yield the right of way to other traffic, in the case of side-street stops.

Table 1 presents general characteristics associated with each Level of Service grade.

At intersections, Level of Service calculations can reflect average conditions occurring over the breadth of the hour or can be indicative of conditions occurring during the highest volume 15 minute period within that hour. The choice of perspective is made by local agencies as part of their development of standards of significance. This analysis considers the conditions occurring during the highest volume 15 minute period within the peak hour, and because the area provides access to many schools, these peak conditions can be much worse than the average over the entire hour. Table 2 identified the current bell schedule for the schools in this area.

Warrants for Traffic Control Devices. The extent to which an all-way stop of traffic signal may be justified is determined based on many factors. Quantitatively, criteria contained in the California Manual of Uniform Traffic Control Devices (CMUTCD) are employed.

All-Way Stop. Multi-way stop control can be useful as a safety measure at intersections if certain traffic conditions exist. Safety concerns associated with multi-way stops include pedestrians, bicyclists, and all road users expecting other road users to stop. Multi-way stop control is used where the volume of traffic on the intersecting roads is approximately equal. The following criteria should be considered for a multi-way STOP sign installation:
• As an “interim” measure where traffic control signals are justified while arrangements are being made for the installation of the traffic control signal. • Five or more reported crashes in a 12-month period that are susceptible to correction by a multi-way stop installation.
• Minimum volumes of at least 300 entering vehicles per hour for any 8 hours of an average day, and the combined vehicular, pedestrian, and bicycle volume entering the intersection from the minor street approaches (total of both approaches) averages at least 200 units per hour for the same 8 hours, with an average delay to minor-street vehicular traffic of at least 30 seconds per vehicle during the highest hour.
• The need to control left-turn conflicts
• The need to control vehicle/pedestrian conflicts near locations that generate high pedestrian volumes
• Locations where a road user, after stopping, cannot see conflicting traffic and is not able to negotiate the intersection unless conflicting cross traffic is also required to stop The Terraces - CEQA Document - Mitigated Negative Declaration Traffic Operational Analysis for the Page 8
Bethany Home Independent Senior Living Facility, Ripon, CA (April 7, 2022) • An intersection of two residential neighborhood collector (through) streets of similar design and operating characteristics where multi-way stop control would improve traffic operational characteristics of the intersection.

Traffic Signal Warrants. For this analysis, Warrant 3 (Peak Hour Traffic Volume), Warrant 4 (Minimum Pedestrian Volume) and Warrant 5 (School Crossing) have been employed.

Traffic volume criteria consider traffic on both major and minor street approaches in combination.

The pedestrian volume warrant is intended for application where the traffic volume on the major street is so heavy that pedestrians experience excessive delays in crossing the major street. The School Crossing warrant requires a minimum of 20 school age pedestrians crossing the street in any one hour as well as the absence of adequate gaps in traffic to accommodate pedestrians.

Existing Traffic Volumes / Levels of Service
Current traffic operating conditions have been described through methods accepted by the City of Ripon
Traffic Volume Counts. Traffic count data was collected when area schools were in session.

New morning (7:00 to 9:00 a.m.) and evening (4:00 to 6:00 p.m.) counts were collected January 25, 2022 to capture the peak traffic of area schools and as well as peak commuter traffic. The highest hourly traffic volume period within each two-hour windows was identified as the peak hour.

Figure 3 illustrates the intersection turning movement count data used for this analysis. This figure also notes the existing geometric layout of each intersection and the location of traffic controls.

This data has been used to determine the operating Level of Service at each intersection.

Pedestrian Volume Counts. Pedestrians were counted at the intersection when the traffic counts were conducted. During the peak morning hour a total of 45 pedestrian crossings in all directions occurred at the Main Street / Vera Avenue intersection. In the evening that total was 11 crossings.

Similar pedestrian count data have been collected in 2017 for the Ripon Christian School’s PreSchool Relocation Project traffic analysis. The data indicated that in the morning hour a total of 38 crossings occurred at the Main Street / Maple Avenue intersection, with 22 across the north leg of the intersection. In the mid-afternoon when the school day ended, 82 crossings were counted, with 33 across Maple Avenue and 47 across the western leg of Main Street and 2 across the eastern leg.

Intersection Level of Service. Table 3 identifies current intersection Levels of Service at the study location. The City of Ripon’s goal is LOS D.

It is important to note that traffic flow conditions around schools can be poor even though a street or intersection has the theoretical capacity to accommodate the traffic volume that is present. Often traffic is slowed or stopped due to on-site conditions at a school as parents wait for a parking space or a spot in a loading zone. These effects are not reflected in Level of Service calculation results.

The Terraces - CEQA Document - Mitigated Negative Declaration Traffic Operational Analysis for the Page 9
Bethany Home Independent Senior Living Facility, Ripon, CA (April 7, 2022) As shown, the Level of Service at each location meets the City’s LOS D minimum standard.

The results of our traffic volume and pedestrian counts were compared to MUTCD criteria to determine whether an all-way stop might be justified. The volume of traffic on Vera Avenue and the number of pedestrians crossing the street are both too low to reach the level that might justify an all-way stop. Left turn conflicts and sight distance limitations are not present.

Traffic Signal Warrants. Current a.m. and p.m. peak hour traffic volumes at the intersection were compared to MUTCD warrants for signalization. Current volumes do not that reach the level that satisfy signal warrants. Current pedestrian activity does not reach the level that satisfies Warrants 4 or 5.

Traffic Safety. As noted from review of Figure 3 observed morning peak hour traffic exiting at Ripon Christian Pre-School’s right-turn-only exit included several vehicles that turned left or turned onto Vera Avenue. All exiting traffic occurred during the 30-minute period from 8:00 to 8:30 a.m. which coincides with the beginning of the school day at Ripon Christian School.

While a right-turn-only driveway was recommended in the Pre-School’s traffic study and conditioned by the City, the study also noted that future conditions may permit full access. While not related to the proposed Bethany Home project, the City of Ripon should review the situation and if full access is acceptable, work with Ripon Christian School to modify the current traffic control to be consistent with permitted movements. Alternatively, if outbound left turns are causing a safety issue, the City should follow up with Ripon Christian to identify measures to further limit outbound left turns.

PROJECT CHARACTERISTICS
Description
The proposed project is an independent living facility catering to Ripon’s Senior population. The facility is a three-story 107,700 ksf building to be located on an 2¼ acre parcel at the southeast corner of the W. Main Street / Vera Avenue intersection. The project site has previously been occupied by two medical office buildings and a small office building. The site is bordered by Ripon Grace Church on the east and by private residences to the south. The project is one block east of Bethany Home’s existing Independent Living, Skilled Nursing and Assisted Living facilities at 930 W. Main Street.

The proposed project will provide 82 independent living units along with ancillary support recreational and food service facilities. The site will have 84 parking spaces, and vehicular access will occur at a full access driveway on Vera Avenue and via a connection to Ripon Grace Church’s existing right-turn-in-only connection to West Main Street near the Maple Avenue intersection.

The project is across W. Main Street from Ripon Christian School’s pre-school facility.

Project Travel Characteristics
The travel characteristics of the project are described in terms of its Trip Generation and Trip Distribution.

Vehicle Trip Generation. The amount of traffic associated with proposed development projects is typically forecast using information developed from recognized national sources. The Institute of Transportation Engineers (ITE) has compiled and published information regarding trip generation associated with various uses, and this source is widely accepted by public agencies, including Caltrans, San Joaquin County and the City of Ripon. Their publication Trip Generation, 11th Edition is the most current data and contains rates for various types of senior care / residential projects. Of the land use categories presented by ITE, Code 252 Sr. Adult Housing Multi-Family is the most directly comparable to the proposed project. The rates for this use would capture all travel associated with the project, including employee and resident travel, deliveries, etc.

Previous uses on the site that will be replaced by the project would have generated travel that no longer occurs, and the trip generation associated with these uses has also been estimated from ITE rates. ITE Code 720 Medical Dental Office Building and Code 712 Small Office Building are applicable to these uses.

Table 5 presents the Bethany Home Senior Residential project’s trip generation estimates based on ITE land use Code 252. As indicated, over a 24 hour period the project could generate 266 daily one-way trips (i.e., ½ inbound and ½ outbound). During the morning peak hour the project could generate 16 trips, or about one vehicle every four minutes. In the evening the project could generate 21 trips during the peak commute hour. At some point in the afternoon that is not necessarily the peak commute hour the project would be expected to generate highest hour traffic volume, and 25 trips are expected at that time. This would be equivalent to about one vehicle every two minutes.

The Terraces - CEQA Document - Mitigated Negative Declaration Traffic Operational Analysis for the Page 12
Bethany Home Independent Senior Living Facility, Ripon, CA (April 7, 2022) Trip generation forecasts for the three previous uses on the site are also presented for comparison.

As indicated, the uses that will be replaced by the Bethany Home facility would be expected to generate 460 daily trips, or slightly less than twice the daily trips of the proposed project. The difference is more pronounced during peak traffic hours. In the morning the site’s previous uses total 45 trips, with 73 trips in the business afternoon hour and 58 trips in the p.m. peak commute hour. Hourly estimates for previous site uses are roughly 2.8 times that of the proposed Bethany Home project.

Based on this comparison it is reasonable to conclude that the effects of the Bethany Home Independent Senior Living facility on regional circulation will be less than those already caused by the previous uses on the site.

Pedestrian Trip Generation. Limited information is available regarding the rates at which residential projects generate pedestrian activity, and none is specific to senior multi-family residences. ITE data indicates that residents of conventional low-rise multi-family suburban development generate pedestrian trips at a rate of 0.03 trips per dwelling unit during both the a.m. and p.m. peak hours. For an 82-unit development, this would be two to three trips per hour.

In this case, walkability is one of the selling points for the proposed project. Retail and medical services and restaurants are available near the W. Main Street / Wilma Avenue intersection and at other locations along W. Main Street. The project could also generate pedestrian travel between the project and the existing Bethany Home independent living facilities across Vera Avenue (i.e., 55 units in Manor Apartments, 39 units in Garden Apartments, and 36 units at Sunset Apartments).

Residents may also walk to visit a spouse in Bethany Homes Skilled Nursing and Assisted Living facilities. Pedestrian activity could also occur over the day by staff at the various locations. Some residents are also likely to walk simply to get out of the house, for exercise or to walk pets.

Conversely, with on-site food services (formal dining room and café/bistro) and other amenities there is no pressing need for residents to leave the facility on a day-to-day basis.

Based on these factors it was conservatively assumed that residents of the proposed Bethany Homes Independent Living Facility could generate three round trips to and from the site per resident per week. This activity would most likely occur over ten daylight hours. Assuming two residents per unit, this projects to 140 one-way pedestrian trips per day, with 14 in an hour.

There are 130 existing independent living units at Bethany Homes immediately west of the proposed project. Some may use the exercise facilities in the project. It is conservatively assumed that most residents may visit the new project site once every three weeks, but that 10% would be on a regular fitness program and visit three times a week at various times.

Some staff interaction between the current Bethany Home operations and the project may occur.

It is assumed ten one-way pedestrian trips will occur each day.

A noted in Table 4, 200 daily and 21 hourly pedestrian trips are projected for the project.

Bethany Home Independent Senior Living Facility, Ripon, CA (April 7, 2022) Trip Distribution. Having determined the number of vehicle and pedestrian trips that are expected to be generated by the project, it is necessary to identify the directional distribution of project-generated trips.

Vehicle Trips. For Senior Residential development, peak hour employee trips would generally be focused on routes to/from the residences within the City of Ripon / Southern San Joaquin County/ northern Stanislaus County area. Residents are permitted to park their personal vehicle on site, and their automobile trips would likely be oriented to social, medical and shopping destinations that primarily avoid freeway travel to the extent possible. Within that context the trip distribution for the proposed project shown in Table 6 was developed.

Similarly, pedestrian activity would be concentrated to destinations west of the site, but some travel along W. Main Street to the east and south on Vera Avenue is also possible.

TABLE 6

TRIP DISTRIBUTION ASSUMPTIONS
Direction Route
Share of Total Trips
Pedestrians Automobiles
East W. Main Street beyond Maple Avenue 20% 25%
West W. Main Street beyond Vera Avenue 70% 50%
South Vera Avenue beyond Main Street 10% 25%
Total 100%
Trip Assignment. Project vehicle and pedestrian trips were assigned to the local street system based on the distribution assumptions identified above, the parking lot layout and the routes available through each driveway and pedestrian access. While the right turn only entrance on W.

Main Street may limit access, it is possible to leave the site towards W. Main Street through the Ripon Grace Church parking lot. Based on these characteristics the peak hour automobile and pedestrian trip assignment is shown in Figure 4.

It is important to note that the pedestrian forecast represents “average” hourly volumes. It is reasonable to assume that senior pedestrians may not choose to walk during the peak periods before and after the school day at Ripon’s schools when background traffic is busy.

PROJECT TRAFFIC OPERATIONAL AND SAFETY EFFECTS
Existing Plus Project Traffic Conditions and Levels of Service Traffic / Pedestrian Volumes. Figure 5 superimposes project vehicle and pedestrian trips onto the current background traffic volumes to create the “Existing Plus Project” condition. Subsequent tables compare the “Existing” and “Existing Plus Project” Levels of Service.

Project Traffic Effects on Level of Service. As shown in Table 7, the addition of project traffic does not change current LOS and does not result in any location operating with a Level of Service that exceeds the City of Ripon’s minimum LOS D standard. The study intersection and main driveway will operate at LOS C or better.

Need for Traffic Control Devices. Existing plus Project traffic and pedestrian volumes were compared to warrants for an all-way stop and signalization. The addition of project pedestrians and automobile trips does not result in volumes which reach the level that satisfy warrants for either device.

Safety
While the standard measures of operation (i.e., Level of Service) indicate that the project does not result in traffic operating conditions that exceed the City of Ripon General Plan standards, other safety factors were considered.

Pedestrian Safety. As noted earlier the Bethany Home Independent Living project may result in additional pedestrians on Ripon’s streets, and most of these pedestrians will be seniors. As a group seniors tend to walk more slowly and may be less aware of their surroundings than regular pedestrians.

The project would add pedestrians to the exiting Vera Avenue crossing at Main Street and to the crossings at the Main Street / Wilma Avenue intersection. A marked crosswalk already exits across Vera Avenue, but measures to improve visibility are possible. For example, No Parking limits could be installed on the east side of Vera Avenue south of the intersection to preserve the line of site at the corner for both pedestrians and approaching vehicles. However, a more practical option would be to install a stop bar across northbound Vera Avenue about 5 feet outside of the crosswalk.

This limit would require motorists to first to stop outside the crosswalk before moving into the crosswalk to turn right.

At the W. Main Street / Wilma Avenue traffic signal the City of Ripon should continue to monitor the adequacy of pedestrian crossing intervals already incorporated into the signal timing to sure that seniors have adequate time to cross the streets.

Vehicular Access. Because the project generates relatively little automobile traffic and background traffic volumes on Vera Avenue are low, the project access will operate satisfactorily, and capacity improvements are not needed. However, because senior drivers may use the access, it will be important to maintain adequate sight distance looking north and south from the new driveway. The city should consider the need for No Parking limitations in that area.
