As a street closure and parklet program, the Program does not have the potential to disturb the sites or any contamination therein. Additionally, a government database search was performed and none of the public roadways included in the street closure or parklet program are identified on any lists compiled pursuant to Section 65962.5 of the Government Code.5 Therefore, an exception to the exemption under CEQA Guidelines § 15300.2(e) does not apply to the Program.

Criterion §15300.2(f): Historical Resources
Yes No
  Does the project have the potential to cause a substantial adverse change in the significance of a historical resource?
The Program consists of street closure and parklets on public roadways with no ground distrubancedisturbance and does not involve buildings or structures that could be considered historic resources. Therefore, the Program would not have any direct impacts on historical resources.

Therefore, the exception under CEQA Guidelines § 15300.2(f) does not apply to the Program.

EXEMPTION CONCLUSIONS
As discussed above, the Program meets the criteria for a Class 1 Exemption under CEQA as a project involving use of existing street right-of-way in a way that does not create additional automobile lanes and therefore meets the definition of a project qualifying for a Class 1 Exemption under CEQA Guidelines §15301.

As also discussed above, there are no exceptions that apply to the Program or its site that would exclude the use of an exemption under CEQA Guidelines §15300.2, including those related to location, cumulative effects, significant effects from unusual circumstances, scenic resources, hazardous waste, or historical resources.

Therefore, the analysis presented in this document provides substantial evidence that a Class 1 CEQA Exemption is applicable to the proposed Program and that no additional environmental analysis is required under CEQA.

Transportation Impact Analysis for the Extension of
Temporary Street Closure and Parklet Program in San
Carlos
August 6, 2021
As requested, W-Trans has prepared a transportation impact analysis (TIA) for the Extension of Temporary Street Closure and Parklet Program in the City of San Carlos.

Project Description
Beginning in June 2020, the City of San Carlos implemented a series of closures o n Laurel Street as well as allocation of area for parklets on San Carlos Avenue and Laurel Street in the downtown area. Currently the 700 block of Laurel Street is closed to vehicular traffic and there are parklets on both sides of the 1100 block of San C arlos Avenue and the 600 block of Laurel Street , and on the west side of the 800 block of Laurel Street. The City is considering an extension of the street closure and parklet program for three more years and has proposed additional safety improvements.

Environmental Setting
The project study area is located in downtown San Carlos and specific attention was paid to vehicular circulation near the closed 700 block of Laurel Street as well as the parklets on the 600 and 800 blocks of Laurel Street and the 1100 block of San Carlos Avenue.

Laurel Street is generally a two-lane north-south roadway through downtown San Carlos with diagonal parking on each side. The 700 block of Laurel Street has 63 spaces that have been displaced as a result of the street clo sure. On the 600 and 800 block s the pa rklets have displaced 23 and eight spaces, respectively.

San Carlos Avenue is generally a four-lane east-west street with a center median in the downtown area.

On the 1100 block of San Carlos Avenue the parklets have displaced 14 spaces.

Regulatory Setting
The following policies contained in the San Carlos 2030 General Plan and the City’s Bicycle and Pedestrian Master Plan are applicable to the downtown street closure and parklet program.

City of San Carlos General Plan Policies
 Policy CSH -1. To develop a circulation system that is safe, environmentally -friendly and responsive to the needs of various land uses planned within the City of San Carlos.  Policy CSH -1.1.

Attachment: Transportation Impact Analysis (Extend Laurel St Closure) TIA for the Extension of Temporary Street Closure and Parklet Program Page 3 August 6, 2021 CEQA Analysis - Transportation
The closure of the 700 block of Laurel Street and the parklets on San Carlos Avenue and elsewhere on Laurel Street would result in a potential CEQA impact if any of the four conditions identified in the CEQA Guidelines Appendix G checklist (a through d below) are met. a. Would the project c onflict with a program, plan, ordinance or policy addressing the circulation system, including transit, roadway, bicycle and pedestrian facilities? Less than Significant impact.

There are several policies in the San Carlos 2030 General Plan and objectives the City’s Bicycle and Pedestrian Master Plan that address the need for safety and accessibility of all modes of transportation, both citywide and in the vicinity of the project. During field reviews of the street closure the adequacy of the circulation system for transit riders, motorists, bicyclists and pedestrians was reviewed.

As a result of the street closure of the 700 block of Laurel Street and the parklets on San Carlos Avenue and elsewhere on Laurel Street no transit stops were eliminated and no transit routes were changed. Access to existin g transit facilities such as bus stops and the CalTrain station was not altered.

As a result of the street closure additional bicycle parking spaces were provided near the Bank of America at 760 Laurel Street. On the 600 block of Laurel Street between Cherry Street and San Carlos Avenue, near the Wells Fargo Bank, additional and protected areas for bicycle parking were installed.

No bicycle routes were displaced as a result of the street closure and the Class III bicycle routes marked with “Sharrows” on San Carlos Avenue are not impacted by the parklets.

There are continuous sidewalks on both sides of Laurel Street and crosswalks at each intersection in the study area that provide adequate paths to all retail and commercial businesses. The street closure did not change pedestrian access. Signs are posted a t both ends of the 700 block of Laurel Street indicating that it is a pedestrian pathway and all visitors (pedestrians, bicyclists and motorists) should walk. At each of the parklets on San Carlos Avenue and Laurel Street there are protective barriers that separate the patrons from adjacent street traffic. No change in pedestrian access was observed as a result of the parklets. It is noted that while restaurant staff were observed to cross th e sidewalk to access the dining patrons in the parklets, pedestrian access along the sidewalks is not substantially impeded.

The project would not preclude or interfere with any program, plan, ordinance or policy listed above as it relates to the circulation system for all modes of travel. b. Would the project conflict or be inconsistent with CEQA Guidelines § 15064.3, subdivision (b)? Less than Significant Impact.

CEQA Guidelines § 15064.3, Subdivision (b) indicates that a project would have a significant impact if the project resulted in vehicle miles traveled (VMT) exceeding an applicable threshold of significance.

The City of San Carlos adopted threshold criteria for VMT analyses in September, 2020 that are consistent w ith guidance for transportation projects that are provided in the publication

10.a.3
Packet Pg. 277
Attachment: Transportation Impact Analysis (Extend Laurel St Closure) TIA for the Extension of Temporary Street Closure and Parklet Program Page 4 August 6, 2021 Transportation Impacts (SB 743) CEQA Guidelines Update and Technical Advisory , California Governor’s Office of Planning and Research (OPR), 2018.

As stated in the City’s guidel ines, consistent with OPR’s research, an active transportation project which also reduces roadway capacity can be considered to have a less -than-significant impact related to VMT.

To further support this finding, OPR’s guidance document was reviewed. That document also states that active transportation projects are presumed to have a less -than-significant impact with respect to VMT. Other transportation projects that the guidelines reference that are similar to the street closure and would not be likely to induce a substantial or measurable increase in VMT and would also not be required to perform analysis are:
 Reduction in number of through lanes.
 Installation or reconfiguration of traffic calming devices.  Removal or relocation of off-street or on-street parking spaces.  Addition of new or enhanced bike or pedestrian facilities on existing streets/highways or within existing public rights-of-way.

With respect to the street closure and parklets, motorists destined for the 700 block of Laurel Street must now park somewhere other than the 700 block, though some motorists did this previously based on parking availability. While this may result in additional travel of several blocks for some motorists, it can be assumed that some motorists now travel fewer blo cks to access parking, depending on their path and direction of travel when accessing the area and whether they route directly to public parking areas . As such, the closure of the 700 block of Laurel Street can be presumed to result in an immeasurable change to vehicle miles traveled.

The roadway network in the immediate vicinity of the street closure is generally a grid pattern. Any motorists who would have previously used the 700 block of Laurel Street as through traffic would instead divert to an alter nate nearby route and would therefore also not substantially change the distance of travel for those trips.

Based on the City’s guidelines and OPR’s guidelines the street closure and parklets would result in an immeasurable change to VMT and would have a less-than-significant impact. c. Would the project s ubstantially increase hazards due to a geometric design feature (e.g. sharp curves or dangerous intersections) or incompatible uses (e.g. farm equipment)? Less than Significant Impact.

In order to establish and separate the pedestrian area from the vehicular circulation system, movable barricades were installed at the Laurel Street/Cherry Street and Laurel Street/Olive Street intersections .

Additional safety improvements are proposed with the current appro vals. This analysis addresses the existing conditions first then conditions with the proposed improvements.

The collision histor ies for the roadways and intersections in the study area were reviewed to determine any trends or patterns that may indicate a safety issue, and to identify any potential trend changes in reported collisions. Collision data from June 1, 2016 to January 28, 2021 was provided by

10.a.3
Packet Pg. 278
Attachment: Transportation Impact Analysis (Extend Laurel St Closure) TIA for the Extension of Temporary Street Closure and Parklet Program Page 5 August 6, 2021 the City of San Carlos. Since June 2020 when the street closure was first instituted, five collisions were reported in the area. Three were at the intersection of Laurel Street/Olive Street and the other two occurred on the 1200 block of San Carlos Avenue, though not in the same location and on different sides of the median. During the four years prior to the street closure there were two collisions reported at the Laurel Street/Olive Street intersection and nine collisions nearby. Also, three collisions occurred on the 1200 block of San Carlos Avenue and 20 occurred on adjacent blocks and at nearby intersections during this time period.

Based on a review of the collision data from the periods prior to and after the street closure, there was an increase in collisions at the Laurel Street/Olive Street intersection.

During the field review, some northbound motorists were observed performing an illegal u-turn in the intersection while other drivers entered the intersection without yielding . It was not clear if these motorists were searching for parking or were just unaware of the street closure. T here are wayfinding parking signs at the intersection on the eastbound and westbound Olive Street approaches, but not in the northbound direction on Laurel Street. Also, the painted striping at the intersection is faded and drivers were observed stopping within the crosswalk.

The field observations of the street closure also included a review of potentially hazardous conditions.

At each end of the closure, there is adequate signage indicating the change in conditions. The barricades that separated the tra vel way from the pedestrian zone did not have visible signs of contact with vehicles, and the collision reports did not indicate any such activity either.

Potentially hazardous elements were identified at the exit driveway of the Union Bank building at 799 Laurel Street and also the dead-end in the parking lot resulting from the street closure near the Bank of America at 760 Laurel Street . Upon exiting the one -way westbound internal drive aisle from the Union Bank parking lot, drivers are guided south through the street closure to the Laurel Street/Olive Street intersection. From the perspective of the driver exiting the parking lot, there is limited visibility due to the landscaping, proximity of the adjacent building and off-street parking spaces, and existing signage. At the Laurel Street driveway for the parking lot near Bank of America, a barricade was installed creating a dead -end in the off -street parking lot circulation. It was observed that drivers could easily navigate this dead -end with a multiple point turn to exit the same way they returned .

During the field review it was also observed that a motorcyclist had used the barricade as an unmarked parking space within the lot. Due to the location of the illegally parked motorcycle the driver of a vehicle in the most southerly parking space adjacent to the barricade would have difficulty navigating out of the space.

Based on the review of field conditions along San Carlos Avenue near the parklets as well as near the locations of the reported collisions, no potentially hazardous elements were identified.

The following improvements related to hazards are proposed with the current approvals :

1. At the Laurel Street/Olive Street intersection, parking wayfinding signage will be placed for the northbound drivers and all the crosswalk and yellow centerline striping will be refreshed for increased visibility.

10.a.3
Packet Pg. 279
Attachment: Transportation Impact Analysis (Extend Laurel St Closure) TIA for the Extension of Temporary Street Closure and Parklet Program Page 6 August 6, 2021

2. At the outbound driveway for the Union Bank building at 799 Laurel Street, a sign indicating pedestrians may be crossing will be installed.

3. At the driveway for the Bank of America at 760 Laurel Street, a no parking sign will be installed on the barricade facing the parking lot indicating that parking is not allowed adjacent to the barricade.

The above improvements proposed as pa rt of the current approvals would minimize identified potential existing safety hazards and , there would be no significant impact s with respect to hazards related to the street closure or parklets with implementation of these improvements. d. Would the project result in inadequate emergency access? Less than Significant Impact.

Emergency vehicles are still able to access the closed 700 block of Laurel Street via the moveable barricades. The parklets do not obstruct the travel lanes and access to the businesses along Laurel Street and San Carlos Avenue is not obstructed given the breaks in the barricade s. The project would not impede emergency access and emergency response vehicles would continue to have access to the area. The project would have a less-than-significant impact related to emergency access.

Parking Analysis
During the field visit, the effect of the displaced parking spaces on areawide circulation was reviewed.

There are a pproximately 108 parking spaces that were displaced with the street closure and addition of the parklets on San Carlos Avenue (between Laurel Street and El Camino Real) and Laurel Street (600 , 700 and 800 blocks) in downtown San Carlos . This includes 63 parking spaces on the closed 700 block of Laurel Street, 14 spaces on San Carlos Ave nue for parklets, and 31 spaces on the 600 and 800 blocks of Laurel Street for parklets.

Visitors and employees of downtown business are potentially required to reroute to other streets to find parking. It was observed that visitors to the downtown area would either drive north -south along Laurel Street looking for a parking space before proceeding to one of the public parking lots to the west between San Carlos Avenue and Arroyo Street , or would route directly to these public lots. The employees for business es on the east side of the 700 block of Laurel Street were observed to park in tandem in the alley behind the business and out of the travel way . For the businesses on the westerly side, there are reserved parking spaces in the Clark Plaza public lot.

During the field reviews, the mid-block public parking lot west of the 700 block of Laurel Street, between Olive Street and Cherry Street (Clark Plaza lot), had 100 percent utilization indicating a significant parking demand in the downtown area near the closed street segment . This lot ha d three access points with driveways on Cherry Street, Olive Street, and Laurel Street (through the Bank of America lot at 760 Laurel Street). With the street closure, the Laurel Street driveway is closed. To direct drivers who may be exiting the lot looking for available parking elsewhere, wayfinding signage should be included at each of the lot’s driveways identifying the next closest publi c parking lot . Such parking wayfinding signage exists for the southerly driveway on Olive Street, but there is no sign for outbound drivers at the northerly driveway on Cherry Street.

10.a.3
Packet Pg. 280
Attachment: Transportation Impact Analysis (Extend Laurel St Closure) TIA for the Extension of Temporary Street Closure and Parklet Program Page 7 August 6, 2021 The multi-level Wheeler Plaza parking garage on Walnut Street between San Carlos Avenue and Cherry Street, as well as other parking lots near the downtown area , had available capacity . Overall, since o n- and off-street parking in the area was observed not to be fully utilized during the weekend midday and weekday evening hours , the parking supply in the downtown area is sufficient even with the spaces removed due to the parklets and the street closure.

It is noted that the ADA parking spaces and nearby curb ramps near the parklets on San Carlos Avenue and Laurel Street were preserved.

While not linked to a CEQA impact, the following impro vement related to parking is proposed with the current approvals:

4. At the northerly driveway exit (at Cherry Street) from the public mid-block parking lot west of the 700 block of Laurel Street between Olive Street and Cherry Street (Clark Plaza), wayfinding signage will be installed in the view of outbound drivers identifying the next closest public parking lot.

The above improvement proposed as part of the current approvals wou ld improve wayfinding from a lot observed to operate at capacity to other nearby public parking. No other deficiencies in public parking or wayfinding were identified.

One-Way Circulation
The City requested a qualitative review of one -way circulation on Laurel Street in the downtown area bounded by San Carlos Avenue and Arroyo Street, including the currently closed 700 block of Laurel . This action is not being proposed at this time but could be proposed in the future. As such, the general effect of one -way circulation in either the northbound or southbound direction a long Laurel Street in the downtown area between San Carlos Avenue and Arroyo Avenue was qualitatively reviewed. One-way streets are common in downtown cores and can potentially improve the safety of pedestrian crossings by reducing the number of vehicular movements that pedestrians need to account for while crossing the street. In general, one -way circulation can also present opportunit ies to dedicate public right -of-way to bicycle facilities or shared multi-use paths serving both pedestrians and bicyclists.

It is expected that pedestrian access and bicycle facilities can be maintained in either direction or, in the case of bicycle parking, be relocated if displaced by the one -way circulation. Similarly, if any ADA parking spaces are displaced, they can be reinstalled nearby. Since there are no transit stops or routes along Laurel Street, transit service would not be impacted. Only vehicular circulation is expected to be impacted by the one-way circulation.

With o ne-way circulation in the northbound direction on Laurel Street, assuming that the southbound lane is closed, five driveways that provide access to four parking lots on the westerly side of the road would either need to be closed or delineated accordingly. If the one-way circulation is in the southbound direction on Laurel Street and the northbound lane is closed, three driveways that provide access to two banks, the Chase Bank at 845 Laurel Street and the Union Bank at 799 Laurel Street, would either need to be closed or delineated appropriately with barricades.

10.a.3
Packet Pg. 281
Attachment: Transportation Impact Analysis (Extend Laurel St Closure) TIA for the Extension of Temporary Street Closure and Parklet Program Page 8 August 6, 2021 Based on this qualitative review, one -way southbound circulation on Laurel Street in the downtown area would be preferrable to the northbound direction as it would result in less overall redistribution of traffic and access to parking facilities. It is recommended that total bi-directional traffic volumes along Laurel Street be considered in a quantitative analysis before a one-way street scheme is implemented.
