3. Background Conditions
Background conditions reflect Year 2030 traffic conditions without the land use development envisioned under the proposed Greystar General Plan Amendment or the proposed Freedom Circle Focus Area Plan. This chapter describes background improvements assumed in the Year 2030 transportation network, the procedure used to forecast background traffic volumes, and the resulting traffic conditions.

Roadway Network Under Background Conditions
The Year 2030 forecasts produced using the CSC model reflect planned transportation improvements anticipated to occur by the Year 2030. Most notable is the planned BART extension into Silicon Valley.

The base year (2018) CSC model reflects BART service that terminated at the Warm Springs/South Fremont Station. In June 2020, BART service commenced on the Phase I extension from Warm Springs to Milpitas and Berryessa/North San José. The Phase II BART extension into downtown San José and Santa Clara is assumed to be complete by 2030.

VTA light rail service also was modified at the end of 2019. While the base year (2018) model assumed that LRT service between Old Ironsides Station and Milpitas would require a transfer, the 2030 model reflects the current LRT lines. The Orange Line now offers direct LRT service with 20-minute headways from the Old Ironsides Station to the Milpitas BART station as well as to the Moffett Park business park in Sunnyvale, Mountain View, and the Alum Rock area of San José. Furthermore, the Green Line now provides direct LRT service with 20-minute headways from the Old Ironsides Station to downtown San José and Campbell. LRT service between the Old Ironsides Station and South San José would require a transfer to the Blue Line.

In addition, the 2030 model assumes the existing carpool (HOV) lanes on US 101 will be converted to express lanes. Carpools with three or more occupants will be permitted to use the express lane free of charge, while vehicles with two or fewer occupants must pay a fee to access the express lane.

The transportation network under background conditions is assumed to include the following improvements at study intersections. The intersection improvements are planned CIP projects or improvements that will be fully funded by the Tasman East Specific Plan, City Place Phases 1, 2, and 3 developments, or the approved data center at 2305 Mission College. Figure 8 shows the lane configurations at the study intersections under background conditions.

Freedom Circle Focus Area Plan and Greystar General Plan Amendment TA December 22, 2021 Page | 39

10. Great America Parkway and SR 237 Westbound Ramps: restripe the southbound approach as one through/right-turn lane and one right-turn lane, add a second westbound rightturn lane and a third westbound left-turn lane and associated receiving lane under underpass.

11. Great America Parkway and SR 237 Eastbound Ramps: add a third southbound through lane and a second eastbound right-turn lane.

12. Great America Parkway and Great America Way: add a second westbound right-turn lane with an overlap phase and a second southbound left-turn lane.

13. Great America Parkway and Old Mountain View-Alviso Road: add a second eastbound left-turn lane.

15. Great America Parkway and Tasman Drive: add a southbound right-turn lane and a third westbound left-turn lane.

18. Great America Parkway and Mission College Boulevard: add a third northbound left-turn lane, a third westbound left-turn lane, a second eastbound left-turn lane, and a westbound rightturn pocket.

30. Juliette Lane and Mission College Boulevard: remove the north leg (i.e., southbound movements), the northbound through lane and the eastbound left-turn lane.

31. Burton Drive and Mission College Boulevard: restripe the northbound through/right-turn lane as a right-turn only lane.

39. Lick Mill Boulevard and Tasman Drive: reconfigure northbound and southbound approaches to include two left-turn lanes, one through lane, and one right-turn lane; change the northbound/southbound phasing from split to protected phasing; add a second westbound leftturn lane.

40. Lafayette Street and Calle De Luna: restripe the westbound approach to include one leftturn lane and one right-turn lane.

44. De la Cruz Boulevard and Central Expressway: add a third southbound through lane and a second southbound right-turn lane; add a second eastbound right-turn lane; add a third northbound left-turn lane and remove one northbound through lane.

45. Agnew Road/De La Cruz Boulevard and Montague Expressway: add a second northbound left-turn lane.

49. Trimble Road and Montague Expressway: construction of a flyover to serve westbound left turn traffic from Montague Expressway to southbound Trimble Road.

53. Lawrence Expressway and Homestead Road: add a third eastbound through lane and a third westbound through lane.

Background Traffic Volumes
Background traffic volumes were developed using the CSC travel demand forecasting model. In most locations, the model reflects anticipated growth according to ABAG 2030 land use projections. In the vicinity of the Focus Area, the model assumes completion of City Place Phases 1-3 and buildout of the Tasman East Specific Plan. For consistency, the trip estimates reported in the EIR for each of these developments was hard coded into the model. The proposed Kylli development is not assumed in 2030.

Freedom Circle Focus Area Plan and Greystar General Plan Amendment TA December 22, 2021 Page | 40
While the ABAG land use data do not reflect any growth in enrollment at Mission College from 2018 to 2030, the forecasts were modified to reflect a five percent increase in enrollment by the Year 2030 based on historic data obtained from the California Community Colleges Chancellor’s Office.3 Figure 9 shows the traffic volumes at the study intersections under background conditions.

Background (Year 2030) land uses within the Freedom Circle Focus Area assume the existing Marriott Hotel with 750 rooms is unchanged and a modest increase (approximately seven percent) in the size of other land uses based on ABAG land use forecasts. Overall, employment within the Focus Area under Background (Year 2030) No Project conditions is expected to be approximately six percent greater than under existing (Year 2018) conditions. The trip generation estimates for the Freedom Circle Focus Area under Background (2030) conditions account for trip reductions for transit use. Table 5 presents the CSC model trip estimates for the background no project conditions within the Focus Area.

Table 5
Trip Generation Estimates for the Freedom Circle Focus Area – Background (2030) Conditions Background Intersection Levels of Service
The results of the intersection level of service analysis show that the following 16 study intersections would operate at an unacceptable level of service (LOS E or worse for any San José intersection and locally controlled Santa Clara and Sunnyvale intersections and LOS F for CMP and expressway intersections in Santa Clara and Sunnyvale) during at least one peak hour under background conditions (see Table 6).

4. Background Plus Project Conditions
This chapter describes background plus project traffic conditions. Background plus project conditions were evaluated relative to background conditions in order to determine potential project impacts. This chapter analyzes the proposed Greystar development by itself as well as the full buildout of the Freedom Circle Focus Area, which includes the proposed Greystar development along with additional residential and office development on other sites within the Focus Area.

Roadway Network Under Background Plus Project Conditions The roadway network under background plus project conditions would be the same as the background roadway network as described in Chapter 3 at all study intersections.

Project Trip Estimates
The magnitude of traffic produced by a new development and the locations where that traffic would appear were estimated using a three-step process: (1) trip generation, (2) trip distribution, and (3) trip assignment. In determining project trip generation, the magnitude of traffic entering and exiting the site is estimated for the AM and PM peak hours. As part of the project trip distribution, an estimate is made of the directions to and from which the project trips would travel. In the project trip assignment, the project trips are assigned to specific streets and intersections. These procedures are described below.

Trip Generation
Vehicle trips generated by development of the Greystar General Plan Amendment and buildout of the Freedom Circle Focus Area were estimated using the trip rates for a general Urban/Suburban area published in the Institute of Transportation Engineers’ (ITE) Trip Generation Manual, 10th Edition (2017). For residential land uses, trips rates for “Multi-family Housing Mid-Rise” (Land Use 221) were used. As defined by the ITE, “mid-rise” multifamily housing are buildings that have between 3 and 10 floors. ITE trip rates for “General Office Building” (Land Use 710) were used for office uses, “Shopping Center” (Land Use 820) trip rates were used for retail uses, and “Hotel” (Land Use 310) trip rates were used for the existing Marriott hotel.

The Greystar site is currently vacant. The proposed Greystar development would construct 1,100 dwelling units and 2,000 square feet of retail space. As shown in Table 7, development of the Greystar project is estimated to generate 6,060 gross daily vehicle trips, 398 (104 inbound and 294 outbound) gross AM peak hour trips, and 492 (299 inbound and 193 outbound) gross PM peak hour trips.

Freedom Circle Focus Area Plan and Greystar General Plan Amendment TA December 22, 2021 Page | 48
Buildout of the Freedom Circle Focus Area including the Greystar development would result in a total of 3,600 dwelling units, 5,369,000 square feet office space4 , 2,000 square feet retail space, and 750 hotel
rooms within the Focus Area. As shown in Table 8, buildout of the Freedom Circle Focus Area is estimated to generate 78,224 gross daily trips, 7,879 (5,902 inbound and 1,977 outbound) gross AM peak hour trips, and 8,216 (2,188 inbound and 6,028 outbound) gross PM peak hour trips.

Table 7
Project Trip Generation Estimates (Year 2030) – Greystar Table 8
Project Trip Generation Estimates (Year 2030) – Focus Area Buildout Since the Freedom Circle Focus Area would include a mix of land uses, a portion of the trips generated by Focus Area developments will both begin and end within the Focus Area, also known as internal trips. Some trips to and from the Focus Area will also occur using alternative modes of travel like public transit. The Year 2030 CSC travel demand forecasting model was used to estimate trip reductions for internalization and transit usage under background conditions. Because the proposed Greystar project would be comprised primarily of residential uses with only a very small amount of retail space, internal trips within the Greystar site are estimated to comprise no more than 0.5 percent of all trips. With full 4 Size of existing developments (2,349,000 s.f.) plus ABAG projected growth (302,000 s.f.) plus previously approved developments (718,000 s.f.) plus additional development permitted under the Focus Area Plan (2,000,000 s.f.).

buildout of the Freedom Circle Focus Area, the CSC model estimates that approximately 3.9 percent of the daily trips, 1.7 percent of the AM peak hour trips, and 3.3 percent of the PM peak hour trips would be internal within the Focus Area. Internal trips are assumed to be made via an alternative mode such as walking or bicycling. Transit trips are estimated to comprise roughly 5 percent of all Greystar trips and 6 to 8 percent of all trips generated by buildout of the Freedom Circle Focus Area.

The project also includes retail uses, which attract some of their customers from people who are passing by the site as they head to their destination. These customers do not need to make a separate vehicle trip to come to the project site. Such vehicle trips are categorized as pass-by trips as they are not new trips generated on the roadway network and are credited from the project trip generation. The pass-by trip reduction for the retail land uses is assumed to be 25 percent for daily, AM and PM peak hours.

After applying the internal capture, transit, and pass-by reductions, the proposed Greystar development is expected to generate 5,722 net daily vehicle trips, 375 (98 inbound and 277 outbound) net AM peak hour trips, and 466 (284 inbound and 182 outbound) net PM peak hour trips under background plus project conditions. Buildout of the Freedom Circle Focus Area is expected to generate 70,075 net daily vehicle trips, 7,132 (5,399 inbound and 1,733 outbound) net AM peak hour trips, and 7,427 (1,903 inbound and 5,524 outbound) net PM peak hour trips under background plus project conditions.

Trip Distribution and Assignment
The net project trip estimates were hard coded into the CSC model, which was then used to determine the distribution and assignment of project trips. Note that the trip estimates presented in Table 8 do not include any credits for existing use trips because the CSC model inputs need to reflect the total vehicle trips generated by the Focus Area rather than the incremental increase in trips beyond the existing trip generation.

While the CSC model is capable of estimating gross traffic patterns, it does not accurately model turning movements at study intersections within and immediately adjacent to the Freedom Circle Focus Area. Thus, a more detailed model of the Freedom Circle Focus Area was created using the TRAFFIX software to refine the traffic forecasts for nearby study intersections on Great America Parkway and Mission College Boulevard. Likewise, forecasts also were refined at study intersections within the immediate vicinity of the Patrick Henry Drive Specific Plan Area to ensure the background plus project forecasts are consistent with the method used to develop cumulative (Year 2040) forecasts, which reflect the development of both Plan Areas. The TRAFFIX model represents the future land uses anticipated within the Freedom Circle Focus Area on a parcel level.

Background Plus Project Traffic Volumes
In addition to the new vehicle trips associated with developments within the Freedom Circle Focus Area, model forecasts under background plus project conditions also reflect changes in background no project trips not associated with the Focus Area. For example, the addition 2 million s.f. of additional office space along with the introduction of 3,600 residential units in an employment-rich area of northern Santa Clara are expected to cause changes in trip distribution patterns for background traffic, changes in the mode split choices of other travelers, and a diversion of some vehicles from one route to another in order to avoid the most congested routes and reduce travel time.

Figures 10 and 11 show the traffic volumes forecast under background plus project conditions for the proposed Greystar development alone, and for full buildout of the Freedom Circle Focus Area (including Greystar), respectively. Note that at some intersections, the CSC model shows that the Greystar project would result in modest decreases in traffic volumes in the peak commute direction and increases in trips in the off-peak direction. This is an expected response to the construction of the large

Freedom Circle Focus Area Plan and Greystar General Plan Amendment TA December 22, 2021 Page | 56
residential project in a major employment area, resulting in fewer workers commuting long distances from residential areas farther south.

Furthermore, while the model shows that the buildout of the Freedom Circle Focus Area would cause traffic volumes to increase at most locations, a few intersection turn movements are expected to see decreases in traffic volumes due to changes in travel patterns for other nearby land uses. For example, the buildout of the Freedom Circle Focus Area would add a substantial number of trips to northbound Great America Parkway south of Hichborn Drive causing trips for other nearby developments located farther north to divert to other routes resulting in a projected decrease in traffic on northbound Great America Parkway between Mission College Boulevard and Bunker Hill Lane.

Background Plus Project Intersection Levels of Service – Greystar The results of the intersection level of service analysis (see Table 9) show that following study intersections would continue to operate at unacceptable levels of service under background plus Greystar project conditions.

4. Lawrence Expressway and US101 Southbound Ramps (PM peak hour)

5. Lawrence Expressway and E. Arques Avenue (PM peak hour)

17. Great America Parkway and Patrick Henry Drive (PM peak hour)

23. Bowers Avenue and Central Expressway (AM and PM peak hours)

32. Mission College Boulevard and Montague Expressway (AM peak hour)

35. San Tomas Expressway and El Camino Real (AM peak hour)

42. Scott Boulevard and Central Expressway (PM peak hour)

44. De La Cruz Boulevard and Central Expressway (AM peak hour)

45. Agnew Road/De La Cruz Boulevard and Montague Expressway (AM and PM peak hours)

47. N. 1st Street and Montague Expressway (AM and PM peak hours)

48. Zanker Road and Montague Expressway (AM and PM Peak hours)

49. Trimble Rd and Montague Expressway (PM peak hour)

50. McCarthy Boulevard/O’Toole Avenue and Montague Expressway (AM and PM peak hours)

51. Lawrence Expressway and Kifer Road (AM and PM peak hours)

52. Lawrence Expressway and Reed Avenue/Monroe Street (AM peak hour)

58. Kiely Boulevard and Homestead Road (PM peak hour)
However, development of the Greystar project alone would not cause a four-second increase in the critical-movement delay and a one percent (0.01) increase in the V/C compared to background conditions at any of the study intersections. The level of service calculation sheets are included in Appendix B.

Background Plus Project Intersection Levels of Service – Focus Area Buildout
The results of the intersection level of service analysis (see Table 10) show that buildout of the Freedom Circle Focus Area, including the proposed Greystar project, would cause adverse effects at the following 20 intersections:

2. Lawrence Expressway and Sandi Avenue/Lakehaven Drive (PM peak hour)

4. Lawrence Expressway and US 101 southbound ramps (PM peak hour)

5. Lawrence Expressway and Arques Avenue (PM peak hour)

17. Great America Parkway and Patrick Henry Drive (PM peak hour)

23. Bowers Avenue and Central Expressway (AM and PM peak hours)

27. Freedom Circle and Mission College Boulevard (AM and PM peak hours)

28. Agnew/Freedom Circle and Mission College Boulevard (PM peak hour)

32. Mission College Boulevard/Thomas Road and Montague Expressway (AM peak hour)

35. San Tomas Expressway and El Camino Real (AM and PM peak hours)

42. Scott Boulevard and Central Expressway (PM peak hour)

43. Lafayette Street and Central Expressway (AM peak hour)

44. De La Cruz Boulevard and Central Expressway (AM peak hour)

45. Agnew Road/De La Cruz Boulevard and Montague Expressway (AM peak hour)

47. N. 1st Street and Montague Expressway (AM peak hour)

48. Zanker Road and Montague Expressway (AM peak hour)

50. McCarthy Boulevard/O’Toole Avenue and Montague Expressway (AM peak hour)

54. Lawrence Expressway and Pruneridge Avenue (AM peak hour) The adverse effects and proposed improvements to alleviate the deficiencies are described below.

The following study intersections also would operate at unacceptable levels of service under background plus Focus Area buildout conditions.

33. San Tomas Expressway and Scott Boulevard (AM peak hour)

49. Trimble Road and Montague Expressway (PM peak hour)

51. Lawrence Expressway and Kifer Road (AM and PM peak hours)

52. Lawrence Expressway and Reed Avenue/Monroe Street (AM peak hour)

58. Kiely Boulevard and Homestead Road (PM peak hour)
However, since buildout of the Freedom Circle Focus Area would not cause the critical-movement delay at the above signalized intersections to increase by four or more seconds and the V/C to increase by one percent (0.01) or more compared to background conditions, the project would not have an adverse effect on the operation of those intersections. The level of service calculation sheets are included in Appendix C.

Adverse Effects and Recommended Improvements – Focus Area Buildout This section discusses the adverse effects identified under background plus project conditions with full buildout of the Freedom Circle Focus Area and proposed improvements to address the deficiencies under this scenario. As previously stated, adverse effects on intersection operations do not constitute significant impacts under CEQA.

Background Intersection Levels of Service – Focus Area Buildout

In addition to physical improvements recommended to resolve deficiencies at affected intersections, the Freedom Circle Focus Area will include Travel Demand Management (TDM) measures to achieve a 10 percent reduction in VMT per the City’s Climate Action Plan. A sensitivity analysis was conducted to determine if a reduction in project vehicle trips due to TDM would avoid any of the adverse effects at study intersections.

2. Lawrence Expressway and Sandia Avenue/Lakehaven Drive This City of Sunnyvale intersection would operate at an acceptable LOS E under background no project conditions during the PM peak hour. The buildout of the Freedom Circle Focus Area would cause the intersection to degrade to an unacceptable LOS F during the PM peak hour. This constitutes an adverse effect on intersection operations.

Intersection operations could be improved by widening Lawrence Expressway to add a fifth through lane on the northbound and southbound approaches. However, this improvement is not feasible because it would require acquisition of additional right of way and negatively impact adjacent properties. Implementation of TDM measures within the Freedom Circle Focus Area could reduce the vehicle trips associated with the development. However, a sensitivity analysis shows that a 10 percent Incr.

TDM trip reduction within the Focus Area would not be sufficient to avoid the adverse effect on intersection operations.

The Long-Range Transportation Plan for Santa Clara County (VTP2040) lists a project (VTP ID# R39) that would realign Wildwood Avenue to connect directly with Lawrence Expressway and create a new signalized intersection at Lawrence Expressway and Wildwood Avenue. This improvement would have a beneficial effect on traffic operations at the Lawrence/Sandia/Lakehaven intersection. The Freedom Circle Focus Area developments should provide fair-share funding towards this improvement.

4. Lawrence Expressway and US 101 Southbound Ramps
This CMP intersection in the City of Sunnyvale would operate at an unacceptable LOS F under background no project conditions during the PM peak hour. The buildout of the Freedom Circle Focus Area would cause the intersection’s average critical movement delay to decrease, but the critical v/c would increase by more than 0.01 during the PM peak hour. This constitutes an adverse effect on intersection operations.

Implementation of TDM measures within the Focus Area could reduce the vehicle trips associated with the development. However, a sensitivity analysis shows that a 10 percent TDM trip reduction within the Focus Area would not be sufficient to avoid the adverse effect on intersection operations. Intersection operations could be improved to an acceptable level by converting an eastbound left-turn lane to a shared left-turn/right-turn lane. The cost of this improvement will be fully funded by Freedom Circle Focus Area developments.

5. Lawrence Expressway and E. Arques Avenue
This CMP intersection in the City of Sunnyvale would operate at an unacceptable LOS F under background no project conditions during the PM peak hour. The buildout of the Freedom Circle Focus Area would cause the intersection’s average critical movement delay to increase by 15.5 seconds and the critical v/c to increase by 0.049 during the PM peak hour. This constitutes an adverse effect on intersection operations.

Implementation of TDM measures within the Freedom Circle Focus Area could reduce the vehicle trips associated with the development. However, a sensitivity analysis shows that a 10 percent TDM trip reduction within the Focus Area would not be sufficient to avoid the adverse effect on intersection operations. The County identified the need for a grade-separated interchange at this location as part of the 2040 Expressway Plan. The Freedom Circle Focus Area developments should provide fair-share funding towards this improvement. The funds collected for this improvement are subject to programming by the County for Board-approved projects.

17. Great America Parkway and Patrick Henry Drive
This City of Santa Clara intersection would operate at an unacceptable LOS E during the PM peak hour under background conditions. The buildout of the Freedom Circle Focus Area would cause the average critical movement delay to increase by 15.6 seconds and the critical v/c to increase by 0.035 during the PM peak hour. This constitutes an adverse effect on intersection operations.

Intersection operations could be improved by constructing a second northbound left-turn lane and a second eastbound right-turn lane. Although intersection widening for dual right-turn lanes may improve vehicle operations, this improvement conflicts with bicycle and pedestrian policies within the City’s 2010-2035 General Plan (GP), 2018 Bicycle Master Plan (BMP), and 2019 Pedestrian Master Plan (PMP). Intersection widening is discouraged by GP Policy 5.8.2-P2 and PMP Policies 1.A.3, 2.A.1, and

2.A.4. Dual right-turn lanes result in challenges with visibility between turning vehicles and pedestrians (Caltrans Highway Design Manual 403.6(1)) and this conflicts with GP Policy 5.8.4-P13, BMP Policy Freedom Circle Focus Area Plan and Greystar General Plan Amendment TA December 22, 2021 Page | 65

1.A.2 and PMP Policies 1.A.3 and 2.A.5. Furthermore, intersection widening reduces the width of sidewalks and conflicts with GP Policy 5.8.2-P1 and the PMP Pedestrian Recommendation Toolbox.

Therefore, intersection widening for dual right-turn lanes is not recommended. With the recommended dual northbound left-turn lanes and a 10 percent TDM reduction, the intersection is expected to continue to operate at an unacceptable LOS E during the PM peak hour under background plus project conditions. The cost of this improvement will be fully funded by Freedom Circle Focus Area developments.

Developments within the Freedom Circle Focus Area also will be responsible for construction of a Class IV separated bikeway on Great America Parkway. This multimodal improvement, which is identified in the City’s Bicycle Master Plan Update 2018, would encourage residents and employees to leave their vehicles at home by adding a physical barrier between the existing bike lane and the vehicular travel lane, thereby increasing the comfort level for cyclists. Adjacent to the Focus Area, the bikeway improvement will be constructed as part of the Focus Area Plan. Beyond the Focus Area (between Patrick Henry Drive and SR 237), Freedom Circle area stakeholders will pay a fair share fee for future construction of the bikeway on Great America Parkway.

18. Great America Parkway and Mission College Boulevard This CMP intersection in the City of Santa Clara would operate at an acceptable LOS D during the PM peak hour under background conditions. The buildout of the Freedom Circle Focus Area would cause the intersection to degrade to an unacceptable LOS F during the PM peak hour. This constitutes an adverse effect on intersection operations.

Intersection operations could be improved to an acceptable LOS E by converting Hichborn Drive from one-way (eastbound only) flow to two-way flow with a 60-foot right-of-way width, adding a traffic signal at Great America Parkway and Hichborn Drive to allow left and right turns in and out, and synchronizing the new signal with the traffic signal at Great America Parkway and Mission College Boulevard. In addition, the US 101 northbound off-ramp right turn to northbound Great America Parkway would be modified to reduce the curb radius to 50 feet. With the recommended improvements and a 10 percent TDM reduction, the intersection is expected to operate at an acceptable LOS E during the PM peak hour under background plus project conditions. The cost of this improvement will be fully funded by Freedom Circle Focus Area developments.

23. Bowers Avenue and Central Expressway
This CMP intersection in the City of Santa Clara would operate at an unacceptable LOS F under background no project conditions during the AM and PM peak hours. The buildout of the Freedom Circle Focus Area would cause the intersection’s average critical movement delay to increase by more than 4.0 seconds and the critical v/c to increase by more than 0.01 during the AM and PM peak hours.

This constitutes an adverse effect on intersection operations.

Implementation of TDM measures within the Focus Area could reduce the vehicle trips associated with the Freedom Circle development. However, a sensitivity analysis shows that a 10 percent TDM trip reduction within the Focus Area would not be sufficient to avoid the adverse effect on intersection operations. The County identified the need for a grade-separated interchange at this location as part of the 2040 Expressway Plan. The Freedom Circle Focus Area developments should provide fair-share funding towards this improvement. The funds collected for this improvement are subject to programming by the County for Board-approved projects.

27. Freedom Circle (W) and Mission College Boulevard
This City of Santa Clara intersection would operate at an acceptable LOS B and LOS C under background no project conditions during the AM and PM peak hours, respectively. The buildout of the Freedom Circle Focus Area Plan and Greystar General Plan Amendment TA December 22, 2021 Page | 66
Freedom Circle Focus Area would cause the intersection to degrade to an unacceptable LOS E during the AM peak hour and to LOS F during the PM peak hour. This constitutes an adverse effect on intersection operations.

Intersection operations could be improved by adding an eastbound right-turn lane, removing the crosswalk on the west leg, relocating bus stops to the east side of the intersection, restriping the northbound approach for one right-turn lane, one shared through/left-turn lane and one left-turn lane, and implementing split-phase signal control for the north and south legs. The construction of these improvements along with the planned Class IV separated bike lanes on Mission College Boulevard would require widening Mission College Boulevard and require the dedication of additional right of way on the east side of the intersection. The dedication is required to install a far side bus stop and near side bus stop in accordance with VTA Bus Stop and Passenger Facilities Standards. Intersection operations could be further improved by the proposed improvements at Great America Parkway and Hichborn Drive: converting Hichborn Drive from one-way (eastbound only) flow to two-way flow and adding a traffic signal at Great America Parkway and Hichborn Drive to allow left and right turns in and out... This roadway network change would provide another route out of the Freedom Circle Focus Area and thus reduce the northbound left-turn volume at the Freedom Circle W/Mission College Boulevard intersection. With the recommended improvement on the eastbound and northbound approaches, the improvements at Great America Parkway and Hichborn Drive, and a 10 percent TDM reduction, the intersection is expected to operate an acceptable LOS D or C during the AM and PM peak hours, respectively. Therefore, these improvements would be sufficient to fully offset the adverse effect on intersection operations. The cost of these improvements will be fully funded by Freedom Circle Focus Area developments.

28. Agnew Road/Freedom Circle (E) and Mission College Boulevard This City of Santa Clara intersection would operate at an acceptable LOS C during the PM peak hour under background no project conditions. The buildout of the Freedom Circle Focus Area would cause the intersection to degrade to an unacceptable LOS F during the PM peak hour. This constitutes an adverse effect on intersection operations.

Intersection operations could be improved by adding a northbound right-turn lane. The intersection is expected to operate at an acceptable LOS D during the PM peak hour with the recommended improvement and a 10 percent TDM reduction. Thus, the recommended improvement would be sufficient to fully offset the adverse effect on intersection operations. The cost of this improvement will be fully funded by Freedom Circle Focus Area developments.

32. Mission College Boulevard/Thomas Road and Montague Expressway This CMP intersection in the City of Santa Clara would operate at an unacceptable LOS F during the AM peak hour under background conditions. The buildout of the Freedom Circle Focus Area would cause the average critical movement delay to increase by more than four seconds and the critical v/c to increase by more than 0.01 during the AM peak hour. This constitutes an adverse effect on intersection operations.

Implementation of TDM measures within the Focus Area could reduce the vehicle trips associated with the Freedom Circle development. However, a sensitivity analysis shows that a 10 percent TDM trip reduction within the Focus Area would not be sufficient to avoid the adverse effect on intersection operations. Intersection operations could be improved by constructing a partial grade separation with a flyover from eastbound Montague Expressway to northbound Mission College Boulevard. This improvement was identified as part of the 2040 Expressway Plan. The Freedom Circle Focus Area developments should provide fair-share funding towards this improvement. The funds collected for this improvement are subject to programming by the County for Board-approved projects.

35. San Tomas Expressway and El Camino Real
This CMP intersection in the City of Santa Clara would operate at an unacceptable LOS F during the AM peak hour and an acceptable LOS E during the PM peak hour under background no project conditions. The buildout of the Freedom Circle Focus Area would cause the intersection’s average critical movement delay to increase by 8.0 seconds and the critical v/c to increase by 0.220 during the AM peak hour and would cause the intersection to degrade to an unacceptable LOS F during the PM peak hour. This constitutes an adverse effect on intersection operations.

Implementation of TDM measures could reduce the vehicles trips associated with the Freedom Circle Focus Area developments. However, a sensitivity analysis shows that a 10 percent TDM trip reduction within the Focus Area would not be sufficient to avoid the adverse effect on intersection operations. The County identified the need for a grade-separated interchange at this location as part of the 2040 Expressway Plan.

seconds and the critical v/c to increase by more than 0.01 during the AM peak hour. This constitutes an adverse effect on intersection operations.

The analysis of background conditions at this intersection assumes the following planned improvements: a third southbound through lane and a second southbound right-turn lane; a second eastbound right-turn lane; a third northbound left-turn lane and removal of one northbound through lane. The planned conversion of the existing HOV lanes on Central Expressway to mixed-flow lanes is anticipated to be complete sometime between the Year 2030 and 2040. Thus, this improvement is assumed under cumulative conditions but not background conditions. While the intersection would continue to operate at LOS F under background plus project conditions during the AM peak hour with this planned improvement and a 10 percent TDM reduction, the delay would be less than under no project conditions. The Freedom Circle Focus Area developments should provide fair-share funding towards this improvement.

45. Agnew Road/De La Cruz Boulevard and Montague Expressway This CMP intersection in the City of Santa Clara would operate at an unacceptable LOS F under background no project conditions during the AM peak hour. The buildout of the Freedom Circle Focus Area would cause the intersection’s average critical movement delay to decrease but the critical v/c to increase by more than 0.01 during the AM peak hour. This constitutes an adverse effect on intersection operations.

Implementation of TDM measures within the Freedom Circle Focus Area could reduce the vehicle trips associated with the Focus Area development. However, a sensitivity analysis shows that a 10 percent TDM trip reduction within the Focus Area would not be sufficient to avoid the adverse effect on intersection operations. This intersection is included in the City of Santa Clara Multimodal Improvement Plan (MIP). MIP Actions intended to address the LOS deficiency at this intersection include installation of crosswalk motion sensors, accessible pedestrian signals, upgraded safety lighting, travel time data collection systems, traffic monitoring cameras, and periodic retiming of signal coordination at intersections along Agnew Road/De La Cruz Boulevard. The Freedom Circle Focus Area developments should provide fair-share funding towards these multimodal improvements.

47. N. 1st Street and Montague Expressway
This CMP intersection in the City of San José would operate at an unacceptable LOS F under background conditions during the AM peak hour. The buildout of the Freedom Circle Focus Area would cause the intersection’s average critical movement delay to increase by 14.2 seconds and the critical v/c to increase by 0.032 during the AM peak hour. This constitutes an adverse effect on intersection operations.

Implementation of TDM measures within the Freedom Circle Focus Area could reduce the vehicle trips associated with the Focus Area development and lessen the adverse effect. However, a sensitivity analysis shows that a 10 percent TDM trip reduction within the Focus Area would not be sufficient to avoid the adverse effect on intersection operations. The County identified the need for a gradeseparated interchange at this location as part of the 2040 Expressway Plan. The Freedom Circle Focus Area developments should provide fair-share funding towards this improvement. The funds collected for this improvement are subject to programming by the County for Board-approved projects.

48. Zanker Road and Montague Expressway
This CMP intersection in the City of San José would operate at an unacceptable LOS E under background conditions during the AM peak hour. The buildout of the Freedom Circle Focus Area would cause the intersection’s average critical movement delay to increase by 9.1 seconds and the critical v/c to increase by 0.025 during the AM peak hour. This constitutes an adverse effect on intersection operations.

The City of San José plans to widen Zanker Road to three lanes in each direction from River Oaks Parkway to Trimble Road and to add a second left-turn lane on both the northbound and southbound approaches. This improvement is anticipated to be complete sometime between the Year 2030 and 2040. Thus, this improvement is assumed under cumulative conditions but not background conditions.

While the intersection would continue to operate at an unacceptable LOS E with this planned improvement and a 10 percent TDM reduction, the delay would be less than under no project conditions. The Freedom Circle Focus Area developments should either pay the North San José fee, or a fair-share contribution for the improvement, or a fair-share contribution for off-setting multimodal improvements based on the Focus Area’s percent contribution to the traffic volume growth at the intersection.

50. McCarthy Boulevard/O’Toole Avenue and Montague Expressway This CMP intersection in the City of San José would operate at an unacceptable LOS E under background conditions during the AM peak hour. The buildout of the Freedom Circle Focus Area would cause the intersection to degrade to LOS F and cause the intersection’s average critical movement delay to increase by 8.4 seconds and the critical v/c to increase by 0.025 during the AM peak hour. This constitutes an adverse effect on intersection operations.

Implementation of TDM measures within the Freedom Circle Focus Area could reduce the vehicles trips associated with the Focus Area development. However, a sensitivity analysis shows that a 10 percent TDM trip reduction within the Focus Area would not be sufficient to avoid the adverse effect on intersection operations. The City of San José plans to construct a “square-loop” interchange to replace the at-grade intersection. This improvement is anticipated to be complete sometime between the Year 2030 and 2040. Thus, this improvement is assumed under cumulative conditions but not background conditions. The Freedom Circle Focus Area developments should either pay the North San José fee, or a fair-share contribution for this improvement.

54. Lawrence Expressway and Pruneridge Avenue
This City of Santa Clara intersection would operate at an acceptable LOS E under background conditions during the AM and PM peak hours.

5. Cumulative Conditions
This chapter describes the roadway traffic operations under cumulative no project conditions, cumulative plus project conditions without Greystar, and cumulative plus project conditions including Greystar. Cumulative conditions represent the Year 2040. Cumulative no project conditions include all anticipated developments in the area including the buildout of the Patrick Henry Drive Specific Plan (PHDSP) Option 2 except development of the Freedom Circle Focus Area. Cumulative plus project conditions including Greystar were evaluated relative to cumulative plus project conditions without Greystar to identify adverse effects of the Greystar General Plan Amendment. Cumulative plus project conditions including Greystar also were evaluated relative to cumulative no project conditions to identify adverse effects of the Freedom Circle Focus Area Plan. This chapter describes cumulative improvements assumed in the Year 2040 transportation network, the procedure used to forecast cumulative traffic volumes, the resulting traffic conditions, and improvements recommended to alleviate adverse effects of the Greystar General Plan Amendment and the Freedom Circle Focus Area Plan.

Roadway Network under Cumulative Conditions
The transportation network under cumulative conditions is assumed to include all of the background transportation improvements described in Chapter 3 plus the following additional improvements at study intersections. The intersection improvements are planned CIP projects and improvements that will be funded by City Place as mitigation for buildout of the project. Figure 12 shows the lane configurations at the study intersections under cumulative conditions.

38. Calle Del Sol and Tasman Drive: reconfigure southbound approach to include two left-turn lanes and one right-turn lane with overlap phase.

40. Lafayette Street and Calle De Luna: reconstruct the westbound approach to include two left-turn lanes and one right-turn lane.

41. Lafayette Street and Agnew Road: add a second eastbound left-turn lane and a second southbound left-turn lane.

42. Scott Boulevard and Central Expressway: convert Central Expressway HOV lane to mixed-flow lane, resulting in 3 mixed-flow lanes in each direction (eastbound and westbound).

43. Lafayette Street and Central Expressway: convert Central Expressway HOV lane to mixed-flow lane, resulting in 3 mixed-flow lanes in each direction (eastbound and westbound).

44. De la Cruz Boulevard and Central Expressway: convert Central Expressway HOV lane to mixed-flow lane, resulting in 3 mixed-flow lanes in eastbound direction.

Freedom Circle Focus Area Plan and Greystar General Plan Amendment TA December 22, 2021 Page | 77

46. Lick Mill Boulevard and Montague Expressway: add a third southbound left-turn lane.

48. Zanker Road and Montague Expressway: widen Zanker Road to three lanes in northbound and southbound directions from River Oaks Parkway to Trimble Road; Add a second northbound left-turn lane and a second southbound left-turn lane.

50. McCarthy Boulevard/O’Toole Avenue and Montague Expressway: construction of a “square-loop” interchange to replace the at-grade intersection.

55. Bowers Avenue and Monroe Street: add a northbound left-turn lane and a southbound left-turn lane and change northbound and southbound approaches from split to protected leftturn phasing.

Cumulative plus project conditions assume the above transportation improvements and the same intersection lane configuration as shown in Figure 12.

Cumulative Traffic Volumes
Cumulative No Project Traffic Volumes
Traffic volumes under cumulative no project conditions (see Figure 13) were estimated using the CSC travel demand forecast model. The model land use assumptions reflect ABAG 2040 land use projections in most locations. In the vicinity of the Focus Area, the model assumes buildout of City Place and the Tasman East Specific Plan Area as well as development of an additional 1,500 dwelling units per a proposed Amendment to the Tasman East Specific Plan.

Cumulative no project conditions also assume buildout of the proposed Kylli site located immediately north of the PHDSP Area and the buildout of the PHDSP Option 2. As originally proposed, the Kylli mixed-use development totaled 10.61 million gross square feet. The application is currently on hold as Kylli works to prepare a reduced-density plan with reduced heights based on feedback from the FAA.

While the reduced density plan has not yet been finalized, for the purpose of this analysis, the Kylli site is assumed to contain 3,170 residential dwelling units, 3,060,000 s.f. of office space, approximately 250,000 s.f. of retail/restaurant space, a 300-room hotel, a 600-student elementary school and a 160- student day care.

The PHDSP Option 2 land uses under this cumulative scenario are assumed to include approximately 10,300 residential units and 1,095,000 s.f. of non-residential uses, including 785,000 s.f. of office space, 150,000 s.f. of retail space, a 45,000 s.f. library, 25,000 s.f. of community/civic uses, and 90,000 s.f. of flex space, which is assumed to be an equal mix of office space, retail space, and residential amenities.

Like under background no project conditions, cumulative no project conditions assume a modest level of job growth (approximately 13 percent) above the existing employment within the Freedom Circle Focus Area. In addition, cumulative no project conditions assume the construction of the approved Sobrato development at 4301 Great America Parkway, which would add 718,000 s.f. of office space to the existing uses.

While the ABAG land use data do not reflect any growth in enrollment at Mission College from 2018 to 2040, the forecasts were modified to reflect a ten percent increase in enrollment by the Year 2040 based on historic data obtained from the California Community Colleges Chancellor’s Office.

Generally, traffic volumes under Cumulative (Year 2040) conditions are greater than that under Background (Year 2030) conditions. However, trips generated by the proposed Kylli mixed-use development and the Patrick Henry Drive Specific Plan Area, which are assumed to be completed in

Freedom Circle Focus Area Plan and Greystar General Plan Amendment TA December 22, 2021 Page | 81
the Year 2040 but not 2030, would displace other traffic resulting in a decrease in traffic volume for certain movements. For example, the eastbound through movement at the Tasman/Old Ironsides intersection would be approximately 350 vehicles lower under Cumulative Conditions than under Background Conditions during the PM peak hour due to the large increase in traffic (830 vehicles) that would be added to the northbound right-turn movement from the Kylli and PHDSP developments.

Cumulative Plus Project Traffic Volumes Without Greystar This scenario reflects full buildout of the Freedom Circle Focus Area with the exception of the Greystar site, which would remain vacant. Traffic volumes under cumulative plus project conditions without Greystar were estimated using the CSC travel demand forecast model. The land use assumptions outside the Focus Area are unchanged from the above cumulative no project scenario. Except for the Greystar site, the land uses assumptions within the Freedom Circle Focus Area are the same as under background plus project conditions (see Chapter 4). Like under background plus project conditions, the trips generated by the Focus Area development were estimated based on ITE trip rates and reductions for internal trips and transit usage based on CSC model estimates.

The development of Freedom Circle Focus Area without Greystar is estimated to generate 72,164 gross daily trips including 7,481 AM peak hour trips and 7,724 PM peak hour trips. After applying the trip reductions, the Focus Area development without Greystar is expected to generate 65,168 net daily vehicle trips, 6,723 (5,245 inbound and 1,478 outbound) net AM peak hour trips, and 7,021 (1,662 inbound and 5,359 outbound) net PM peak hour trips under cumulative conditions (see Table 12). See Figure 14 for traffic volumes under cumulative plus project conditions without Greystar.

Table 12
Project Trip Generation Estimates – Focus Area Without Greystar Cumulative Plus Project Traffic Volumes Including Greystar This scenario reflects full buildout of the Freedom Circle Focus Area including the Greystar site. Traffic volumes under cumulative plus project including Greystar conditions were estimated using the CSC travel demand forecast model. The land use assumptions outside the Focus Area are unchanged from the above cumulative no project scenario. The land uses assumptions within the Freedom Circle Focus Area are the same as under background plus project conditions (see Chapter 4). Like under background plus project conditions, the trips generated by the Focus Area development were estimated based on ITE trip rates, a 25-percent pass-by trip reduction for retail uses, and reductions for internal trips and transit usage based on CSC model estimates.

The gross project trips generated by the development of Freedom Circle Focus Area including Greystar remain the same as described in Chapter 4. After applying the trip reductions, the Focus Area development including Greystar is expected to generate 70,250 net daily vehicle trips, 7,070 (5,342 inbound and 1,728 outbound) net AM peak hour trips, and 7,438 (1,917 inbound and 5,521 outbound) net PM peak hour trips under cumulative conditions (see Table 13). See Figure 15 for traffic volumes under cumulative plus project conditions including Greystar.

Table 13
Project Trip Generation Estimates – Focus Area Including Greystar Compared to Cumulative No Project Conditions, Cumulative traffic volumes with buildout of the Freedom Circle Focus Area including Greystar show substantial increases in traffic volumes in the peak commute directions due to the addition of a large number of jobs in an area that is already rich in jobs.

The buildout of the Freedom Circle Focus Area would also cause decreases in traffic volumes for some movements in the off-peak direction (eastbound Montague Expressway, for example) as the proposed new jobs would attract trips from residents in planned nearby residential developments such as the Patrick Henry Drive Specific Plan Area, the Kylli mixed-use site, the City Place development, and the Tasman East Specific Plan Area that would otherwise commute to other jobs farther away.

Cumulative Plus Project Intersection Levels of Service Without Greystar This scenario reflects full buildout of the Freedom Circle Focus Area with the exception of the Greystar site, which would remain vacant. This scenario was developed as the baseline to identify the adverse effects attributable to the development of the Greystar General Plan Amendment. The results of the intersection level of service analysis under cumulative plus project conditions without Greystar show that the following 35 intersections would operate at an unacceptable level during at least one peak hour (see Table 15):

1. Lawrence Expressway and Tasman Drive (PM peak hour)

2. Lawrence Expressway and Sandia Avenue/Lakehaven Drive (AM and PM peak hours)

5. Lawrence Expressway and E. Arques Avenue (PM peak hour)

6. Patrick Henry Drive and Tasman Drive (AM and PM peak hours)

7. Old Ironsides Drive and Tasman Drive (PM peak hour)

8. Old Ironsides Drive and Old Glory Lane (AM and PM peak hours)

9. Old Ironsides Drive and Patrick Henry Drive (AM and PM peak hours)
