INTRODUCTION
The Bear Creek South project is located in the City of Stockton, California. The project includes the construction of a single family home residential development. The project will be adjacent to Ronald E. McNair high school to the west, Westwood Elementary to the south, residential land uses to the east, and is directly bordered by UPRR to the east.

ENVIRONMENTAL SETTING
BACKGROUND INFORMATION ON NOISE
Fundamentals of Acoustics
Acoustics is the science of sound. Sound may be thought of as mechanical energy of a vibrating object transmitted by pressure waves through a medium to human (or animal) ears. If the pressure variations occur frequently enough (at least 20 times per second), then they can be heard and are called sound. The number of pressure variations per second is called the frequency of sound and is expressed as cycles per second or Hertz (Hz).
Noise is a subjective reaction to different types of sounds. Noise is typically defined as (airborne) sound that is loud, unpleasant, unexpected or undesired, and may therefore be classified as a more specific group of sounds.
Perceptions of sound and noise are highly subjective from person to person.
Measuring sound directly in terms of pressure would require a very large and awkward range of numbers. To avoid this, the decibel scale was devised. The decibel scale uses the hearing threshold (20 micropascals), as a point of reference, defined as 0 dB. Other sound pressures are then compared to this reference pressure, and the logarithm is taken to keep the numbers in a practical range. The decibel scale allows a million-fold increase in pressure to be expressed as 120 dB, and changes in levels (dB) correspond closely to human perception of relative loudness.
The perceived loudness of sounds is dependent upon many factors, including sound pressure level and frequency content. However, within the usual range of environmental noise levels, perception of loudness is relatively predictable, and can be approximated by A-weighted sound levels. There is a strong correlation between A-weighted sound levels (expressed as dBA) and the way the human ear perceives sound. For this reason, the A-weighted sound level has become the standard tool of environmental noise assessment.

\\192.168.1.50\Saxelby Acoustics\General\Job Folders\240309 Bear Creek South\Word\240309 Bear Creek South Noise 3-27-25.docx The decibel scale is logarithmic, not linear. In other words, two sound levels 10-dB apart differ in acoustic energy by a factor of 10. When the standard logarithmic decibel is A-weighted, an increase of 10-dBA is generally perceived as a doubling in loudness. For example, a 70-dBA sound is half as loud as an 80-dBA sound, and twice as loud as a 60-dBA sound.
Community noise is commonly described in terms of the ambient noise level, which is defined as the allencompassing noise level associated with a given environment. A common statistical tool is the average, or equivalent, sound level (Leq), which corresponds to a steady-state A-weighted sound level containing the same total energy as a time varying signal over a given time period (usually one hour). The Leq is the foundation of the composite noise descriptor, Ldn, and shows very good correlation with community response to noise.
The day/night average level (DNL or Ldn) is based upon the average noise level over a 24-hour day, with a +10- decibel weighing applied to noise occurring during nighttime (10:00 p.m. to 7:00 a.m.) hours. The nighttime penalty is based upon the assumption that people react to nighttime noise exposures as though they were twice as loud as daytime exposures. Because Ldn represents a 24-hour average, it tends to disguise short-term variations in the noise environment.
Table 1 lists several examples of the noise levels associated with common situations. Appendix A provides a summary of acoustical terms used in this report.

\\192.168.1.50\Saxelby Acoustics\General\Job Folders\240309 Bear Creek South\Word\240309 Bear Creek South Noise 3-27-25.docx Effects of Noise on People
The effects of noise on people can be placed in three categories:
Subjective effects of annoyance, nuisance, and dissatisfaction Interference with activities such as speech, sleep, and learning Physiological effects such as hearing loss or sudden startling Environmental noise typically produces effects in the first two categories. Workers in industrial plants can experience noise in the last category. There is no completely satisfactory way to measure the subjective effects of noise or the corresponding reactions of annoyance and dissatisfaction. A wide variation in individual thresholds of annoyance exists and different tolerances to noise tend to develop based on an individual’s past experiences with noise.
Thus, an important way of predicting a human reaction to a new noise environment is the way it compares to the existing environment to which one has adapted: the so-called ambient noise level. In general, the more a new noise exceeds the previously existing ambient noise level, the less acceptable the new noise will be judged by those hearing it.
With regards to increases in A-weighted noise level, the following relationships occur:
Except in carefully controlled laboratory experiments, a change of 1-dBA cannot be perceived; Outside of the laboratory, a 3-dBA change is considered a just-perceivable difference; A change in level of at least 5-dBA is required before any noticeable change in human response would be expected; and
A 10-dBA change is subjectively heard as approximately a doubling in loudness and can cause an adverse response.
Stationary point sources of noise – including stationary mobile sources such as idling vehicles – attenuate (lessen) at a rate of approximately 6-dB per doubling of distance from the source, depending on environmental conditions (i.e. atmospheric conditions and either vegetative or manufactured noise barriers, etc.). Widely distributed noises, such as a large industrial facility spread over many acres or a street with moving vehicles, would typically attenuate at a lower rate.

EXISTING NOISE AND VIBRATION ENVIRONMENTS
EXISTING NOISE RECEPTORS
Some land uses are considered more sensitive to noise than others. Land uses often associated with sensitive receptors generally include residences, schools, libraries, hospitals, and passive recreational areas. Sensitive noise receptors may also include threatened or endangered noise-sensitive biological species, although many jurisdictions have not adopted noise standards for wildlife areas. Noise sensitive land uses are typically given special attention in order to achieve protection from excessive noise.
Sensitivity is a function of noise exposure (in terms of both exposure duration and insulation from noise) and the types of activities involved. In the vicinity of the project site, sensitive land uses include existing singlefamily residential uses to the east and south of the project site.
EXISTING GENERAL AMBIENT NOISE LEVELS
The existing noise environment in the project area is primarily defined by traffic on West Lane, East Morada Lane and the UPRR. To quantify the existing ambient noise environment in the project vicinity, Saxelby Acoustics conducted continuous (24-hr.) noise level measurements at three locations on the project site. Noise measurement locations are shown on Figure 2. A summary of the noise level measurement survey results is provided in Table 2. Appendix B contains the complete results of the noise monitoring.
The sound level meters were programmed to record the maximum, median, and average noise levels at each site during the survey. The maximum value, denoted Lmax, represents the highest noise level measured. The average value, denoted Leq, represents the energy average of all the noise received by the sound level meter microphone during the monitoring period. The median value, denoted L50, represents the sound level exceeded 50 percent of the time during the monitoring period.
Larson Davis Laboratories (LDL) model 820 precision integrating sound level meters were used for the ambient noise level measurement survey. The meters were calibrated before and after use with a CAL200 acoustical calibrator to ensure the accuracy of the measurements. The equipment used meets all pertinent specifications of the American National Standards Institute for Type 1 sound level meters (ANSI S1.4).

FUTURE TRAFFIC NOISE ENVIRONMENT AT OFF-SITE RECEPTORS
OFF-SITE TRAFFIC NOISE IMPACT ASSESSMENT METHODOLOGY
To assess noise impacts due to project-related traffic increases on the local roadway network, traffic noise levels are predicted at sensitive receptors for existing and future, project and no-project conditions.
Existing, Existing Plus Approved (EPAP), Cumulative noise levels due to traffic are calculated using the Federal Highway Administration Highway Traffic Noise Prediction Model (FHWA RD-77-108). The model is based upon the Calveno reference noise factors for automobiles, medium trucks and heavy trucks, with consideration given to vehicle volume, speed, roadway configuration, distance to the receiver, and the acoustical characteristics of the site.
The FHWA model was developed to predict hourly Leq values for free-flowing traffic conditions. To predict traffic noise levels in terms of Ldn, it is necessary to adjust the input volume to account for the day/night distribution of traffic.
Project trip generation volumes were provided by the project traffic engineer (Barrios 2024), truck usage and vehicle speeds on the local area roadways were estimated from field observations. The predicted increases in traffic noise levels on the local roadway network for Existing, EPAP, and Cumulative conditions which would result from the project are provided in terms of Ldn.
Traffic noise levels are predicted at the sensitive receptors located at the closest typical setback distance along each project-area roadway segment. In some locations sensitive receptors may not receive full shielding from noise barriers or may be located at distances which vary from the assumed calculation distance.
Tables 3 - 5 summarize the modeled traffic noise levels at the nearest sensitive receptors along each roadway segment in the Project area. Appendix C provides the complete inputs and results of the FHWA traffic modeling.

Based upon Tables 3 -5 data, the proposed project is predicted to result in an increase in a maximum traffic noise level increase of 1.2 dBA.
EVALUATION OF FUTURE TRANSPORTATION NOISE ON PROJECT SITE Saxelby Acoustics used the SoundPLAN noise model to calculate traffic noise levels at the proposed residential uses due to traffic on East Morada Lane, West Lane, and UPRR. Inputs to the SoundPLAN noise model include topography, existing structures, roadway elevations, and the proposed building pad elevations. It was estimated that existing noise levels would increase by +1 dBA based upon an assumed 1% per year increase in traffic volumes on West Lane, East Morada Lane, and UPRR. The results of this analysis are shown graphically on Figure 3.

Table 8 shows the City of Stockton Land Use Compatibility Chart. The table indicates that development of residential uses is “Normally Acceptable” where the ambient noise level is 60 dBA Ldn or less. Construction where the ambient noise level exceeds 70 dBA Ldn is considered “Unacceptable.” Construction may occur where noise levels range from 60 dBA Ldn to 70 dBA Ldn if noise reduction measures are implemented to ensure interior and exterior spaces are protected from excessive noise. Table 9 establishes an acceptable exterior noise level of 65 dBA Ldn at outdoor activity areas and 45 dBA Ldn at interior spaces.
The project may not be exposed to land use noise levels greater than 55 dBA Leq during daytime (7:00 a.m. to 10:00 p.m.) hours and 45 dBA L50 during nighttime (10:00 p.m. to 7:00 a.m.) hours at the property line of the adjacent residential uses per the City’s standards shown in Table 10. The City standards also establish maximum noise level standards of 75 dBA Lmax during the daytime and 65 dBA Lmax during the nighttime.
CRITERIA FOR ACCEPTABLE VIBRATION
Vibration is like noise in that it involves a source, a transmission path, and a receiver. While vibration is related to noise, it differs in that noise is generally considered to be pressure waves transmitted through air, whereas vibration usually consists of the excitation of a structure or surface. As with noise, vibration consists of an amplitude and frequency. A person’s perception to the vibration will depend on their individual sensitivity to vibration, as well as the amplitude and frequency of the source and the response of the system which is vibrating.
Vibration can be measured in terms of acceleration, velocity, or displacement. A common practice is to monitor vibration measures in terms of peak particle velocities in inches per second. Standards pertaining to perception as well as damage to structures have been developed for vibration levels defined in terms of peak particle velocities.
Human and structural response to different vibration levels is influenced by a number of factors, including ground type, distance between source and receptor, duration, and the number of perceived vibration events.
Table 11, which was developed by Caltrans, shows the vibration levels which would normally be required to result in damage to structures. The vibration levels are presented in terms of peak particle velocity in inches per second.
Table 11 indicates that the threshold for architectural damage to structures is 0.20 in/sec p.p.v. A threshold of 0.20 in/sec p.p.v. is considered to be a reasonable threshold for short-term construction projects.

IMPACTS AND MITIGATION MEASURES
THRESHOLDS OF SIGNIFICANCE
Appendix G of the CEQA Guidelines states that a project would normally be considered to result in significant noise impacts if noise levels conflict with adopted environmental standards or plans or if noise generated by the project would substantially increase existing noise levels at sensitive receivers on a permanent or temporary basis. Significance criteria for noise impacts are drawn from CEQA Guidelines Appendix G (Items XI [a-c]).
Would the project:
a. Generate a substantial temporary or permanent increase in ambient noise levels in the vicinity of the project in excess of standards established in the local general plan or noise ordinance, or applicable standards of other agencies?
b. Generate excessive groundborne vibration or groundborne noise levels? c. For a project located within the vicinity of a private airstrip or an airport land use plan or, where such a plan has not been adopted, within two miles of a public airport or public use airport, would the project expose people residing or working in the project area to excessive noise levels? The proposed project is not located within two miles of a public or private airport, therefore item “c” is not discussed any further in this study.
Noise Level Increase Criteria for Long-Term Project-Related Noise Level Increases The California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) guidelines define a significant impact of a project if it “increases substantially the ambient noise levels for adjoining areas.” Generally, a project may have a significant effect on the environment if it will substantially increase the ambient noise levels for adjoining areas or expose people to severe noise levels. In practice, more specific professional standards have been developed.
These standards state that a noise impact may be considered significant if it would generate noise that would conflict with local project criteria or ordinances, or substantially increase noise levels at noise sensitive land uses. The potential increase in traffic noise from the project is a factor in determining significance. Research into the human perception of changes in sound level indicates the following:
A 3-dB change is barely perceptible,
A 5-dB change is clearly perceptible, and
A 10-dB change is perceived as being twice or half as loud.
A limitation of using a single noise level increase value to evaluate noise impacts is that it fails to account for pre-project noise conditions. Table 12 is based upon recommendations made by the Federal Interagency Committee on Noise (FICON) to provide guidance in the assessment of changes in ambient noise levels resulting from aircraft operations. The recommendations are based upon studies that relate aircraft noise levels to the percentage of persons highly annoyed by the noise. Although the FICON recommendations were specifically developed to assess aircraft noise impacts, it has been accepted that they are applicable to all sources of noise described in terms of cumulative noise exposure metrics such as the Ldn.

Ambient Noise Level Without Project, Ldn Increase Required for Significant Impact <60 dB +5.0 dB or more
60-65 dB +3.0 dB or more
>65 dB +1.5 dB or more
Source: Federal Interagency Committee on Noise (FICON).
Based on the Table 12 data, an increase in the traffic noise level of 5 dB or more would be significant where the pre-project noise levels are less than 60 dB Ldn, or 3 dB or more where existing noise levels are between 60 to 65 dB Ldn. Extending this concept to higher noise levels, an increase in the traffic noise level of 1.5 dB or more may be significant where the pre-project traffic noise level exceeds 65 dB Ldn. The rationale for the Table 12 criteria is that, as ambient noise levels increase, a smaller increase in noise resulting from a project is sufficient to cause annoyance.
Temporary Construction Noise Impacts
With temporary noise impacts (construction), identification of “substantial increases” depends upon the duration of the impact, the temporal daily nature of the impact, and the absolute change in decibel levels. Per the City of Stockton Municipal Code, construction activities operating between 7:00 a.m. and 10:00 p.m. are exempt from the ordinance.
The City has not adopted any formal standard for evaluating temporary construction noise which occurs within allowable hours. For short-term noise associated with Project construction, Saxelby Acoustics recommends use of the Caltrans increase criteria of 12 dBA (Caltrans Traffic Noise Protocol, 2020), applied to existing residential receptors in the project vicinity. This level of increase is approximately equivalent to a doubling of sound energy and has been the standard of significance for Caltrans projects at the state level for many years.
Application of this standard to construction activities is considered reasonable considering the temporary nature of construction activities.
PROJECT-SPECIFIC IMPACTS AND MITIGATION MEASURES
Impact 1: Would the project generate a substantial temporary or permanent increase in ambient noise levels in the vicinity of the project in excess of standards established in the local general plan or noise ordinance, or applicable standards of other agencies? Traffic Noise Increases at Off-Site Receptors
The FICON guidelines specify criteria to determine the significance of traffic noise impacts. Where existing traffic noise levels are greater than 65 dB Ldn, a +1.5 dB Ldn increase in roadway noise levels will be considered significant. According to Tables 3 - 5, the maximum increase is traffic noise at the nearest sensitive receptor is predicted to be 1.2 dBA. Therefore, impacts resulting from increased traffic noise would be considered lessthan-significant, and no mitigation is required.

The proposed project would include typical residential noise which would be compatible with the existing adjacent residential uses.
This is a less-than-significant impact, and no mitigation is required.
Construction Noise
During the construction phases of the project, noise from construction activities would add to the noise environment in the immediate project vicinity. As indicated in Table 6, activities involved in construction would generate maximum noise levels ranging from 76 to 90 dBA Lmax at a distance of 50 feet. Construction activities would also be temporary in nature and are anticipated to occur during normal daytime working hours.
The City of Stockton Municipal Code exempts construction noise from the noise ordinance between the hours of 7:00 a.m. and 10:00 p.m. As shown in Table 6, construction equipment that may be used in the development of the project has the potential to generate noise levels of up to 90 dBA Lmax at 50 feet.
Caltrans defines a significant increase due to noise as an increase of 12 dBA over existing ambient noise levels; Saxelby Acoustics used this criterion to evaluate increases due to construction noise associated with the project.
As shown in Table 6, construction equipment is predicted to generate noise levels of up to 90 dBA Lmax at 50 feet. Table 13 shows the predicted maximum noise levels for each phase of project construction, assuming the equipment were to be used near the edge of each phase closest to existing receptors.

\\192.168.1.50\Saxelby Acoustics\General\Job Folders\240309 Bear Creek South\Word\240309 Bear Creek South Noise 3-27-25.docx Based upon Table 13, construction related noise levels are predicted to be less than existing ambient noise levels. Therefore, project construction would not cause an increase of greater than 12 dBA over existing ambient noise levels.
Noise would also be generated during the construction phase by increased truck traffic on area roadways. A project-generated noise source would be truck traffic associated with transport of heavy materials and equipment to and from the construction site. This noise increase would be of short duration and would occur during daytime hours.
Although construction activities are temporary in nature and would occur during normal daytime working hours, construction-related noise could result in sleep interference at existing noise-sensitive land uses in the vicinity of the construction if construction activities were to occur outside the normal daytime hours.
Therefore, impacts resulting from noise levels temporarily exceeding the threshold of significance due to construction would be considered potentially significant. Mitigation measure 1(a) would reduce construction noise impacts to less-than-significant.
Transportation Noise on Project Site (Non-CEQA Issue)
Exterior Transportation Noise
Compliance with City’s standards on new noise-sensitive receptors is not a CEQA consideration. However, this information is provided here so that a determination can be made regarding the ability of the proposed project to meet the requirements of the City of Stockton for exterior and interior noise levels at new sensitive uses proposed under the project.
As shown on Figure 3, several of the proposed outdoor activity areas are predicted to be exposed to exterior transportation noise levels up to approximately 71 dBA Ldn. This would exceed the 65 dBA limit for outdoor areas established by the City of Stockton. Therefore, additional noise control measures would be required.
Saxelby Acoustics determined the effect of including a sound wall in the project design. A sound barrier ranging from 6-foot to 12-foot tall was modeled along the west, south, and east project boundary. The barrier is predicted to lower noise levels at all outdoor activity areas on the project site to 65 dBA Ldn or lower. Figure 4 shows the recommended sound wall and resulting noise level contours.

Modern building construction methods typically yield an exterior-to-interior noise level reduction of 25 dBA1 .
Therefore, where exterior noise levels are 70 dBA Ldn, or less, no additional interior noise control measures are typically required. For this project, exterior noise levels are predicted to be up to 71 dBA Ldn at the second story of the buildings closest to the Union Pacific Railroad. This would result in interior noise levels of up to 46 dBA Ldn at the second story receivers based on typical building construction. This exceeds the City of Stockton which requires that interior noise levels do not exceed 45 dB Ldn. Therefore, additional noise control measures are required to reduce interior noise to acceptable levels.
The proposed residential buildings located along the Union Pacific Railroad frontage shall be designed to achieve a 26 dBA exterior to interior noise level reduction to satisfy the requirements of the City of Stockton.
Figure 5 shows the locations of facades requiring acoustic upgrades. Figure 5 and Appendix D provide an estimate of interior noise control measures required to meet the applicable standards. It should be noted that interior noise control measures are based upon an estimate of the future residence layouts. These assumptions should be verified once floor plans become available for an accurate assessment of interior noise control measures.

1(a) The City shall establish the following as conditions of approval for any permit that results in the use of construction equipment:
Construction shall be limited to 7:00 a.m. to 10:00 p.m. All construction equipment powered by internal combustion engines shall be properly muffled and maintained.
Quiet construction equipment, particularly air compressors, are to be selected whenever possible. All stationary noise-generating construction equipment such as generators or air compressors are to be located as far as is practical from existing residences. In addition, the project contractor shall place such stationary construction equipment so that emitted noise is directed away from sensitive receptors nearest the project site.
Unnecessary idling of internal combustion engines is prohibited. The construction contractor shall, to the maximum extent practical, locate on-site equipment staging areas to maximize the distance between construction-related noise sources and noise-sensitive receptors nearest the project site during all project construction.
Timing/Implementation: Implemented prior to approval of grading and/or building permits Enforcement/Monitoring: City of Stockton Community Development Services Department Implementation of mitigation measures 1(a) would help to reduce construction-generated noise levels. With mitigation, this impact would be considered less-than-significant.
Recommended Condition of Approval
Prior to approval of project improvement plans, the plans for the proposed project shall show that the southeastern area of the project site shall be shielded from UPRR, Morada Lane, and West Lane through the use of minimum six-foot-tall to 12-foot-tall sound walls per the approval of the City Engineer. Sound wall may include a combination of earthen berm and masonry wall to achieve the required wall height. Wall heights shall be measured relative to either pad or roadway centerline elevations, whichever is higher. The approximate locations of these barriers are shown on Figure 4. Other types of barrier may be employed but shall be reviewed by an acoustical engineer prior to being constructed.
Additionally, the proposed residential buildings located along the Union Pacific frontage shall be designed to achieve a 26 dBA exterior to interior noise level reduction to satisfy the requirements of the City of Stockton interior noise level standard of 45 dBA. Figure 5 shows the locations of facades requiring acoustic upgrades.
Figure 5 and Appendix D provide an estimate of interior noise control measures required to meet the applicable standards. It should be noted that interior noise control measures are based upon an estimate of the future residence layouts.

Construction vibration impacts include human annoyance and building structural damage. Human annoyance occurs when construction vibration rises significantly above the threshold of perception. Building damage can take the form of cosmetic or structural.
The Table 7 data indicates that construction vibration levels anticipated for the project are less than the 0.2 in/sec threshold at distances of 26 feet. Sensitive receptors which could be impacted by construction related vibrations, especially vibratory compactors/rollers, are located further than 26 feet from typical construction activities. At distances greater than 26 feet construction vibrations are not predicted to exceed acceptable levels. Additionally, construction activities would be temporary in nature and would likely occur during normal daytime working hours.
This is a less-than-significant impact and no mitigation is required.
Impact 3: For a project located within the vicinity of a private airstrip or an airport land use plan or, where such a plan has not been adopted, within two miles of a public airport or public use airport, would the project expose people residing or working in the project area to excessive noise levels?
There are no airports within two miles of the project vicinity. Therefore, this impact is not applicable to the proposed project.

Appendix A: Acoustical Terminology
Acoustics The science of sound.
Ambient Noise The distinctive acoustical characteristics of a given space consisting of all noise sources audible at that location. In many cases, the term ambient is used to describe an existing or pre‐project condition such as the setting in an environmental noise study.
ASTC Apparent Sound Transmission Class. Similar to STC but includes sound from flanking paths and correct for room reverberation. A larger number means more attenuation. The scale, like the decibel scale for sound, is logarithmic.
Attenuation The reduction of an acoustic signal.
A‐Weighting A frequency‐response adjustment of a sound level meter that conditions the output signal to approximate human response.
Decibel or dB Fundamental unit of sound, A Bell is defined as the logarithm of the ratio of the sound pressure squared over the reference pressure squared. A Decibel is one‐tenth of a Bell.
CNEL Community Noise Equivalent Level. Defined as the 24‐hour average noise level with noise occurring during evening hours (7 ‐ 10 p.m.) weighted by +5 dBA and nighttime hours weighted by +10 dBA.
DNL See definition of Ldn.
IIC Impact Insulation Class. An integer‐number rating of how well a building floor attenuates impact sounds, such as footsteps. A larger number means more attenuation. The scale, like the decibel scale for sound, is logarithmic.
Frequency The measure of the rapidity of alterations of a periodic signal, expressed in cycles per second or hertz (Hz).
Ldn Day/Night Average Sound Level. Similar to CNEL but with no evening weighting.
Leq Equivalent or energy‐averaged sound level.
Lmax The highest root‐mean‐square (RMS) sound level measured over a given period of time.
L(n) The sound level exceeded a described percentile over a measurement period. For instance, an hourly L50 is the sound level exceeded 50% of the time during the one‐hour period.
Loudness A subjective term for the sensation of the magnitude of sound.
NIC Noise Isolation Class. A rating of the noise reduction between two spaces. Similar to STC but includes sound from flanking paths and no correction for room reverberation.
NNIC Normalized Noise Isolation Class. Similar to NIC but includes a correction for room reverberation.
Noise Unwanted sound.
NRC Noise Reduction Coefficient. NRC is a single‐number rating of the sound‐absorption of a material equal to the arithmetic mean of the sound‐absorption coefficients in the 250, 500, 1000, and 2,000 Hz octave frequency bands rounded to the nearest multiple of 0.05. It is a representation of the amount of sound energy absorbed upon striking a particular surface. An NRC of 0 indicates perfect reflection; an NRC of 1 indicates perfect absorption.
RT60 The time it takes reverberant sound to decay by 60 dB once the source has been removed.
Sabin The unit of sound absorption. One square foot of material absorbing 100% of incident sound has an absorption of 1 Sabin.
SEL Sound Exposure Level. SEL is a rating, in decibels, of a discrete event, such as an aircraft flyover or train pass by, that compresses the total sound energy into a one‐second event.
SPC Speech Privacy Class. SPC is a method of rating speech privacy in buildings. It is designed to measure the degree of speech privacy provided by a closed room, indicating the degree to which conversations occurring within are kept private from listeners outside the room.
STC Sound Transmission Class. STC is an integer rating of how well a building partition attenuates airborne sound. It is widely used to rate interior partitions, ceilings/floors, doors, windows and exterior wall configurations. The STC rating is typically used to rate the sound transmission of a specific building element when tested in laboratory conditions where flanking paths around the assembly don’t exist. A larger number means more attenuation. The scale, like the decibel scale for sound, is logarithmic.
Threshold The lowest sound that can be perceived by the human auditory system, generally considered of Hearing to be 0 dB for persons with perfect hearing.
Threshold Approximately 120 dB above the threshold of hearing. of Pain
Impulsive Sound of short duration, usually less than one second, with an abrupt onset and rapid decay.
Simple Tone Any sound which can be judged as audible as a single pitch or set of single pitches.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
This report presents the analysis and findings of the Transportation Impact Analysis (TIA) prepared for the proposed Bear Creek South Residential Project (Project) in the City of Stockton, California (City). The Project proposes to develop approximately 2,241 single-family dwelling units and is bounded by Bear Creek to the north, Morada Lane to the south, West Lane to the west, and United Pacific Railroad (UPRR) tracks to the east. Project access would be provided by new roadway connections to West Lane and Morada Lane. A conceptual Project site plan is shown on Figure 1-1 in the main body of the report.
This TIA satisfies the requirements documented in the City of Stockton Transportation Impact Analysis Guidelines (TIA Guidelines) dated May 2023. Based on the expected project daily trip generation (17,633 trips), the TIA Guidelines require the preparation of a Local Transportation Study and California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) Transportation Study. Both studies are included in this report.

ANALYSIS SCENARIOS
Operations of the study intersections above were evaluated for the following scenarios:
• Existing Conditions – Existing conditions as they were in the fall of 2023 based on traffic volumes collected in September 2023.
• Existing Plus Project Conditions – Existing traffic volumes plus traffic generated by the proposed Project.
• Background No Project Conditions (Existing Plus Approved Development Projects) – Existing traffic volumes plus traffic generated by approved development projects near the Project site.
• Background Plus Project Conditions (Existing Plus Approved Development Projects Plus Project) – Existing traffic volumes plus traffic generated by approved development projects plus traffic generated by the proposed Project.
• Cumulative Year (2040) No Project Conditions – Year 2040 traffic volumes and future roadway improvements based on the City’s Travel Demand Model under General Plan Buildout Conditions, without development of the Project.
• Cumulative Year (2040) Plus Project Conditions – Year 2040 traffic volumes and future roadway improvements based on the City’s Travel Demand Model under General Plan Buildout Conditions, plus traffic generated by the proposed Project.
VEHICULAR SITE ACCESS AND CIRCULATION
Site access and internal circulation for vehicles, pedestrians, and bicycles was evaluated based on the site plan presented on Figure 1-1. Vehicular access to the Project site would be provided from the following locations:
• West Lane / Project Roadway Access #1 (Intersection 2) • West Lane / Project Roadway Access #2 (Intersection 3) • Caywood Drive / Morada Lane / Project Roadway Access #3 (Intersection 8) • Cherbourg Way / Morada Lane / Project Roadway Access #4 (Intersection 9) • Fox Creek Drive / Morada Lane / Project Roadway Access #5 (Intersection 10) All movements into and out of the Project site are anticipated to operate at LOS D or better under all analysis scenarios assuming a traffic signal at Intersection 2, 8, and 9 and side-street stop control at Intersection 3 and 10. A two-lane roundabout is also under consideration at Project Roadway Access #3 and #4 (Intersection 8 and 9). Under Existing Plus Project and Background Plus Project conditions, all

movements into and out of the Project site are anticipated to operate at LOS D or better with a two-lane roundabout. However, under Cumulative Plus Project conditions, the eastbound Morada Lane approach at Intersection 9, including the eastbound left-turn into the Project site, is anticipated to operate at LOS F during the AM peak hour. The City’s policy is to maintain LOS D or better operations except along corridors with physical constraints that limit the improvements that can be constructed. With a two-lane roundabout, the operations of Intersection 9 would not be consistent with the City’s LOS policy under Cumulative Plus Project conditions.
Adequate vehicle storage would be provided at the site access locations to accommodate the 95th percentile vehicle queues and adequate deceleration lane lengths are proposed for the left-turn and right-turn lanes on West Lane and Morada Lane assuming a traffic signal at Intersection 2, 8, and 9 and side-street stop control at Intersection 3 and 10. Table E-1 compares the proposed deceleration lane lengths and vehicle storage against the guidance presented in the Caltrans Highway Design Manual (HDM). West Lane has a posted speed limit of 55 mph and Morada Lane has a posted speed limit of 45 mph.

All internal local residential roadways are proposed to have a 54’ right-of-way (ROW) with a curb-to-curb width of 34 feet that would accommodate two travel lanes (one lane in each direction). All internal collector roadways are proposed to have a 56’ ROW with a curb-to-curb width of 26 feet that would accommodate two travel lanes (one lane in each direction). The major project roadways providing access to West Lane (intersection 2) or Morada Lane (intersections 8, 9, and 10) are proposed to have a 96’ ROW and can accommodate four travel lanes (two lanes in each direction). The proposed internal roadway designs are consistent with City of Stockton street design standards and would provide adequate vehicular capacity to accommodate Project traffic.
Emergency vehicle access to the Project site is provided from all five roadway access locations that are designed to accommodate emergency vehicles. Cross-sections for the proposed streets within the Project site were reviewed and all street sections provide a minimum of 20-feet of clearway (meaning no obstructions in terms of parked vehicles, landscaping, etc.), such that sufficient width is provided for emergency vehicle access and circulation.
PEDESTRIAN AND BICYCLE CIRCULATION
All internal project roadways will have at a minimum 5’ sidewalk on either side of the street and in some areas an 8’ meandering sidewalk is proposed. There will be no gaps in the pedestrian circulation system and pedestrian access will be provided to West Lane and Morada Lane via the Project roadway access intersections.
Bicycle facilities that will be provided by the Project include the following:
• 12’ multi-use pedestrian path along Bear Creek
• 11’ one-way separated bikeway (Class IV) on West Lane along the Project frontage • 5’ bike lane (Class II) on Morada Lane along the Project frontage The proposed bicycle facilities are consistent with the City Stockton Bicycle Master Plan (2017).
CEQA AND LOCAL TRANSPORTATION STUDY
Under the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), level of service (“LOS”), a qualitative description of traffic on a roadway facility or intersection, can no longer be used to determine a project’s environmental impact. Instead, Section 15064.3 of the 2023 CEQA Statue and Guidelines includes guidance related to assessing the Vehicle Miles of Travel (“VMT”) generated by various types of land use, and thresholds for the identification of significant impacts. The City of Stockton VMT impact analysis process is documented in the City of Stockton Transportation Impact Analysis Guidelines (Adopted May 2, 2023).

According to the City’s TIA Guidelines, a project is relieved from VMT impact analysis if it meets one of the following screening criteria:
1. Within a Transit Priority Area (TPA);
2. Is 100% restricted affordable housing;
3. Small project (generating 110 trips or less per day);
4. Is a locally serving public facility that contributes and supports community needs;
5. Neighborhood-serving retail project less than 50,000 square feet;
6. Located within a low VMT area; or
7. For specific project types that are consistent with General Plan and zoning standards, and do not trigger and EIR such as:
a. Housing: Residential projects within the City Limits that are consistent with all General Plan and zoning standards, are near transit (i.e., is within half a mile of a transit stop), or included as a housing capacity site needed to meet the City’s fair share of Regional Housing Needs Allocation (RHNA), as outlined in the City’s Housing Element. b. General Plan and Zoning Consistency: Projects that are:
i. Consistent with the General Plan and Zoning that do not require a General Plan land use map amendment.
ii. Do not require an EIR for project related impacts beyond the General Plan EIR. iii. Located within the Greater Downtown Planning area, as defined in the General Plan, and do not require a land use map amendment or EIR.
The Project meets screening criteria #7 (consistent with General Plan & zoning standards). The Project is consistent with the land use presented in the Envision Stockton 2040 General Plan (i.e., low density residential with less than 6.1 units per gross acre). The Project is also located within a half-mile of two transit stops on West Lane. Based on the screening criteria the Project is presumed to not require additional CEQA VMT impact analysis.
In addition, according to CEQA and City of Stockton policies, a transportation impact from a project is considered to be significant if the associated change to the transportation system with the project would:
A. Conflict with a program, plan, ordinance, or policy addressing the circulation system, including transit, roadway, bicycle, and pedestrian facilities.
B. Conflict or be inconsistent with CEQA Guidelines section 15064.3, subdivision (b).
C. Substantially increase hazards due to a geometric design feature (e.g., sharp curves or dangerous intersections) or incompatible uses (e.g., farm equipment).
D. Result in inadequate emergency access.

The Project’s impact to the transit, bicycle, and pedestrian facilities are less-than-significant. The Project is also expected to have a less-than-significant impact related to geometric design features and emergency access. The Project will have several significant impacts related to the roadway system primarily dealing 95th percentile queues that exceed available storage. Potential mitigation for the significant impacts is provided in the analysis.
The Local Transportation Study is prepared to provide information to decision-makers and the public in understanding what types of improvements should be considered as Conditions of Approval for the ultimate development of a project, and to evaluate the project’s consistency with the City’s General Plan LOS policy. The City’s policy is to maintain LOS D or better operations except along corridors with physical constraints that limit the improvements that can be constructed. The LOS standard for the intersections along these corridors (Hammer Lane) is LOS E or better. An intersection (roadway) impact and LOS deficiency summary is provided in Table E-2.

1 1.INTRODUCTION
This report presents the analysis and findings of the Transportation Impact Analysis (TIA) prepared for the proposed Bear Creek South Residential Project (Project) in the City of Stockton, California (City). The Project proposes to develop approximately 2,241 single-family dwelling units and is bounded by Bear Creek to the north, Morada Lane to the south, West Lane to the west, and United Pacific Railroad (UPRR) tracks to the east. Project access would be provided by new roadway connections to West Lane and Morada Lane. A conceptual Project site plan is shown on Figure 1-1.
This TIA satisfies the requirements documented in the City of Stockton Transportation Impact Analysis Guidelines (TIA Guidelines) dated May 2023. Based on the expected project daily trip generation (17,633 trips), the TIA Guidelines require the preparation of a Local Transportation Study and California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) Transportation Study. Both studies are included in this report.
1.1 CEQA TRANSPORTATION STUDY
Under the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), level of service (“LOS”), a qualitative description of traffic on a roadway facility or intersection, can no longer be used to determine a project’s environmental impact. Instead, Section 15064.3 of the 2023 CEQA Statue and Guidelines includes guidance related to assessing the Vehicle Miles of Travel (VMT) generated by various types of land use, and thresholds for the identification of significant impacts. The City of Stockton VMT impact analysis process is documented in the City’s TIA Guidelines. According to the City’s TIA Guidelines, a project is relieved from VMT impact analysis if it meets one of seven screening criteria. If the Project does not meet one of the seven screening criteria then the City has adopted the following VMT impact criteria for residential land use projects:
• Significance Criteria: A project exceeds existing citywide home-based VMT per resident minus 15%.
• Baseline Level: 17.46 home-based VMT per resident (citywide average) • Impact Threshold: 15% below baseline (14.84 home-based VMT per resident) In addition, according to CEQA and City of Stockton policies, a transportation impact from a project is considered to be significant if the associated change to the transportation system with the project would:
A. Conflict with a program, plan, ordinance, or policy addressing the circulation system, including transit roadway, bicycle, and pedestrian facilities.
B. Conflict or be inconsistent with CEQA Guidelines section 15064.3, subdivision (b).

4 1.2 LOCAL TRANSPORTATION STUDY
The Local Transportation Study is typically prepared to provide information to decision-makers and the public in understanding what types of improvements should be considered as Conditions of Approval for the ultimate development of a project, and to evaluate the project’s consistency with the City’s General Plan level of service (LOS) policy.
1.2.1 INTERSECTION LEVEL OF SERVICE
LOS is a qualitative description of traffic flow from a vehicle driver’s perspective based on factors such as speed, travel time, delay, and freedom to maneuver. Six levels of service are defined ranging from LOS A (free-flow conditions) to LOS F (over capacity conditions). The City generally strives to maintain LOS D or better for intersection operations, with the exception of select corridors with physical constraints that limit the traffic improvements that can be constructed, as outlined in the Envision Stockton 2040 General Plan (General Plan) approved in 2018.
Operations of intersections were evaluated in Synchro 11 using the method from the Transportation Research Board’s Highway Capacity Manual, 6th Edition (HCM), which uses various intersection characteristics (such as traffic volumes, lane geometry, and signal phasing) to estimate the average control delay experienced by motorists traveling through an intersection. Control delay incorporates delay associated with deceleration, acceleration, stopping, and moving up in the queue. Table 1-1 summarizes the relationship between average delay per vehicle and LOS for signalized and unsignalized intersections.
Table 1-1. Intersection Impact and LOS Deficiency Summary Level of
Service Description Signalized Unsignalized/
Roundabout
Delay (seconds/vehicle)
A Operations with very low delay occurring with favorable progression and/or short cycle length. ≤ 10.0 ≤ 10.0
B Operations with low delay occurring with good progression and/or short cycle lengths. > 10.0 to 20.0 > 10.0 to 15.0
C Operations with average delays resulting from fair progression and/or longer cycle lengths. Individual cycle failures begin to appear. > 20.0 to 35.0 > 15.0 to 25.0
D
Operations with longer delays due to a combination of unfavorable progression, long cycle lengths, or high V/C ratios. Many vehicles stop and individual cycle failures are noticeable.
> 35.0 to 55.0 > 25.0 to 35.0
E

5 1.2.2 TRAFFIC SIGNAL WARRANTS
The California Manual of Uniform Traffic Control Devices (MUTCD) 2014 Edition provides nine warrants to determine if a traffic signal is justified. For this study, the unsignalized intersections were evaluated using Figure 4C-4 (Warrant 3, Peak Hour) in the MUTCD to reflect posted speed limits above 40 mph on Morada Lane and West Lane. Note that the peak hour signal warrant analysis should not serve as the only basis for deciding whether and when to install a signal. To reach such a decision, the full set of warrants should be investigated based on field-measured traffic data and a thorough study of traffic and safety conditions.
A traffic control signal should not be installed unless an engineering study indicates that installing a traffic control signal will improve the overall safety and/or operation of the intersection.
1.3 STUDY AREA
The study area for the TIA assessment includes the area immediately adjacent to the Project site. The following 15 intersections were selected for evaluation in consultation with City of Stockton. The study area is shown on Figure 1-2.
1. West Lane / Eight Mile Road
2. West Lane / Project Roadway Access #1 (evaluated under Project conditions)
3. West Lane / Project Roadway Access #2 (evaluated under Project conditions)
4. West Lane / Morada Lane
5. West Lane / West Lane Frontage
6. West Lane / Knickerbocker Drive
7. West Lane / Hammer Lane

11. Glacier Point Drive / Morada Lane
12. Holman Road / Morada Lane
13. Maranatha Drive / Morada Lane
14. Diamond Bar Place / Morada Lane
15. West Lane/Marlette Road (future intersection built by other development project) All study intersections fall under City of Stockon jurisdiction except the West Lane/Eight Mile Road intersection which is within San Joaquin County jurisdiction. The Stockton General Plan notes that the West Lane/Hammer Lane intersection is located along a corridor with physical constraints that limit the improvements that can be constructed. The LOS standard for the West Lane/Hammer Lane intersection is

8 2. EXISTING TRANSPORTATION
SYSTEM
This chapter describes the existing transportation conditions in the Project study area, including the roadway network and the transit, pedestrian, and bicycle facilities in the vicinity of the Project site.
2.1 ROADWAY SYSTEM
The following is a description of major roadways that provide access to the proposed Project site.
Morada Lane is a discontinuous east-west roadway. In the Project vicinity, Morada Lane extends from West Lane to the east of SR 99 into San Joaquin County. Morada Lane is a two-lane roadway between West Lane and Cherbourg Way. Between Cherbourg Way and North 99 Frontage Road West, Morada Lane has been widened to provide between three and six lanes depending on location. East of North 99 Frontage Road West, Morada Lane provides two lanes. Adjacent to the Project site the roadway has a posted speed limit of 45 mph.
West Lane is a north-south arterial roadway with a northern terminus in the City of Lodi and a southern terminus in downtown Stockton. The City of Stockon/San Joaquin County jurisdictional boundary crosses West Lane near Bear Creek. West Lane provides four lanes between Knickerbocker Drive and its northern terminus in the City of Lodi. South of Knickerbocker Drive, West Lane provides eight lanes up to its intersection with Swain Road. South of Swain Road, West Lanes provided between four and six lanes depending on location. Adjacent to the Project site the roadway has a posted speed limit of 50 mph.
Eight Mile Road is an east-west roadway north of the Project site. In the Project vicinity the majority of Eight Mile Road is two lanes wide. However, some portions of Eight Mile Road are four lanes wide. In the Project vicinity the posted speed limit along Eight Mile Road is 45 mph.
Hammer Lane is a major east-west arterial in the vicinity of the proposed Project site. It has a western terminus west of I-5, and an eastern terminus east of SR 99. In the Project vicinity Hammer Lane provides eight lanes and has a posted speed limit of 40 mph.
2.2 TRANSIT SYSTEM
In the project vicinity, within one half-mile walking distance, transit service (Route 93) is provided along West Lane by the San Joaquin Regional Transit District (SJRTD). SJRTD is the regional transit provider for
ATTACHMENT E
1833
Bear Creek South Residential Project
Draft Transportation Impact Analysis
July 25, 2024
9 San Joaquin County, serving the Stockton Metropolitan Area and the County with intercity, interregional, and rural transit services. Route 93 travels between Lodi (Lodi Transit Station) and Downtown Stockton (Downtown Transit Center). A bus stop for northbound travel is provided on the east side of West Lane at the southeast corner of the West Lane/Morada Lane intersection. A bus stop for southbound travel is provided on the west side of West Lane about 600 feet north of Morada Lane. Neither bus stop provides transit stop amenities (e.g., benches, shelters, etc.).
As of July 30, 2023 northbound bus service begins at the Downtown Transit Center (DTC) at 6:10 AM and ends at the Lodi Transit Station (LTS) at 7:39 PM. The frequency of service ranges from 1 to 3 hours.
Southbound bus service begins at the LTS at 6:03 AM and ends at the DTC at 8:52 AM. The frequency of service ranges from 1 to 2.5 hours.
2.3 EXISTING PEDESTRIAN FACILITIES
Pedestrian facilities include sidewalks, crosswalks, pedestrian signals, and multi-use trails. In the Project vicinity, sidewalk is currently not provided on West Lane or Morada Lane along the Project’s frontage.
Existing sidewalk (within one half-mile walking distance from the Project site) is provided on the following roadways:
• West side of West Lane north of Morada Lane (8-foot sidewalk) • East side of West Lane south of Morada Lane (4-foot sidewalk) • South side of Morada Lane (4-foot sidewalk)
• North side of Morada Lane east of the eastern edge of the Project site boundary (4-foot sidewalk) • Both sides of the Caywood Drive, Cherbourg Way, and Fox Creek Drive (4-foot sidewalk) Near the Project vicinity, the intersection of West Lane/Morada Lane provides crosswalks on the west and south legs of the intersection. The West Lane/Morada Lane intersection provides access to the Ronald E.
McNair High School and as a result there is high pedestrian demand at the intersection.
2.4 EXISTING BICYCLE FACILITIES
Bicycle facilities include the following:
• Bike paths (Class I) – Bike paths are paved trails that are separated from roadways. These trails are sometimes shared with pedestrians.
• Bike lanes (Class II) – Bike lanes are lanes on roadways designated for use by bicycles through striping, pavement legends, and signs.
ATTACHMENT E
1834
Bear Creek South Residential Project
Draft Transportation Impact Analysis
July 25, 2024
10 • Bike routes (Class III) – Bike routes provide a right-of-way designated by signs and/or pavement markings (also known as “sharrows”) to alert motorists to expect to share this roadway with bicyclists. A Bicycle Boulevard is a special type of shared route that optimizes bicycle travel. Bike Boulevards can have a variety of traffic calming elements to improve safety and comfort for bicycles.
• Separated bikeways (Class IV) – Separated bikeways, also referred to as cycle tracks or protected bikeways, are bikeways for the exclusive use of bicycles which are physically separated from vehicle traffic. Types of separation may include, but are not limited to, grade separation, flexible posts, physical barriers, or on-street parking.
In the Project vicinity, within a two-mile bicycling distance, there are Class III bicycle facilities on West Lane between Morada Lane and Bear Creek. Although there are paved shoulders on West Lane north of Bear Creek (within San Joaquin County) there are no signs or pavement markings indicating Class III bicycle facilities.
Class II bicycle facilities are provided on Morada Lane on both the north and south sides but the start and end points are different. On the south side, the bicycle lane starts about 250 feet west of Fox Creek Drive and ends at the Maranatha Drive intersection.
On the north side, the bicycle lane starts at the Diamond Bar Place intersection and ends at the Holman Road intersection. Between the Holman Road and the UPRR tracks there are sections of paved shoulder but there are no bicycle pavement markings or signs. Just west of the UPRR tracks there is about 200 feet of striped Class II bicycle facility that is unusable because the start of the bike lane is blocked by K-rail (temporary concrete traffic barrier).
2.5 EXISTING INTERSECTION LEVELS OF SERVICE
Weekday morning (AM) and evening (PM) peak period intersection turning movement counts were conducted at the study intersections in the fall of 2023 between 7:00 to 9:00 AM and 4:00 to 6:00 PM, including separate counts of trucks, pedestrians, and bicyclists. The counts were collected for three weekdays (Tuesday through Thursday) from September 12, 2023 through September 14, 2023. For the study intersections, the single hour with the highest traffic volumes during each count period was identified. The final AM and PM peak hour volumes were the average of the three days of count data. The AM peak hour in the Project study area is generally 7:30 to 8:30 AM and the PM peak hour is generally 4:45 to 5:45 PM. The peak hour volumes are presented on Figure 2-1 along with the existing lane configuration and traffic control. Existing peak hour bicycle and pedestrian activity is shown on Figure 2-2. Traffic count worksheets are provided in Appendix A.

Draft Transportation Impact Analysis
July 25, 2024
13 Existing intersection lane configurations, signal timings, and peak hour turning movement volumes were used to calculate the levels of service for the study intersections during each peak hour using the Synchro
11.0 software program, as presented in Table 2-1. Observed peak hour factors1 were used at all intersections for the existing analysis. Trucks and pedestrian/bicycle activity were also factored into the analysis.
The following intersections have deficient operations during at least one peak hour:
• West Lane/Morada Lane (Intersection 4) – AM peak hour • Diamond Bar Place/Morada Lane (Intersection 14) – PM peak hour All other study intersections operate at acceptable service levels in accordance with benchmarks set by the City during both the weekday morning and evening peak hours. Detailed intersection LOS calculation worksheets are presented in Appendix B.
The intersections of Morada Lane with Caywood Drive, Cherbourg Way, and Fox Creek Drive are not considered deficient based on the City of Stockton TIA Guidelines even though the northbound approach operates at LOS F for at least one peak hour. A side-street stop controlled intersection is considered deficient if the intersection meets the CA MUTCD signal warrant criteria and there are no acceptable alternative routes that can be used. None of the existing unsignalized study intersections meet the peak hour traffic signal warrant (signal warrant worksheets are provided in Appendix B). The critical movement that operates at LOS F at these intersections is the northbound left-turn movement. There are two acceptable alternative routes for the northbound left-turn movement that would provide access to all likely destinations: the first is to use to use local streets in the residential neighborhood to access northbound West Lane via a right-turn movement at Westmora Avenue (a parallel road to Morada Lane); and the second is to access southbound West Lane via the signalized intersection of West Lane/West Lane Frontage.
1 The peak hour factor is the relationship between the peak 15-minute flow rate and the full hourly volume: PHF = Hourly volume / (4 x (volume during the peak 15 minutes of flow)). The analysis is based on peak rates of flow occurring within the peak hour because substantial short-term fluctuations may occur during a peak hour.

17 3. PROJECT CHARATERISTICS
This chapter provides an overview of the proposed Project components and project trip generation, trip distribution, and trip assignment. These items allow for an evaluation of Project impacts on the surrounding roadway network. The amount of Project-related traffic volume estimated to be added to the transportation system after completion of the Project was assessed using a three-step process:
1. Trip Generation – The amount of vehicle traffic entering/exiting the site was estimated.
2. Trip Distribution – The direction trips will use to approach and depart the site was projected.
3. Trip Assignment – Trips were then assigned to specific roadway segments and intersection turning movements based on likely travel paths.
3.1 PROJECT DESCRIPTION
The Project, located in northern Stockton, proposes to develop approximately 2,241 single-family dwelling units (d.u.) and is bounded by Bear Creek to the north, Morada Lane to the south, West Lane to the west, and United Pacific Railroad (UPRR) tracks to the east. Project access would be provided by new roadway connections to West Lane and Morada Lane.
3.1.1 WEST LANE PROJECT IMPROVEMENTS
3.1.1.1 ROADWAY IMPROVEMENTS
West Lane is currently a four-lane arterial (two lanes in each direction) that is planned as a future six-lane arterial in the City of Stockton General Plan. The Project proposes to widen West Lane along the Project frontage to provide a third northbound travel lane per the Stockton General Plan. The Project does not propose widening the existing Bear Creek Bridge.
3.1.1.2 PEDESTRIAN FACILITY IMPROVEMENTS
Sidewalks are not currently provided on West Lane along the Project frontage. The Project would provide an 8-foot sidewalk along the Project frontage which is consistent with the City of Stockton Standard Plans and Specifications.
3.1.1.3 BICYCLE FACILITY IMPROVEMENTS
Bicycle facilities are currently not provided on West Lane along the Project frontage. The Project proposes to provide a separated one-way bikeway (Class IV) per the City of Stockton Bicycle Master Plan (2017).

21 3.1.4.5 FOX CREEK DRIVE / MORADA LANE / PROJECT ROADWAY ACCESS #5 The Project will provide a fourth (north) leg to an existing three-leg intersection. The project does not propose to signalize this intersection to avoid the potential for westbound vehicle queues extending to the UPRR tracks. Southbound (exiting the Project site) left-turn and through movements will be prohibited via a raised channelization island that will permit only right-turning vehicles.
The lane configuration is presented below:
• Morada Lane Westbound Approach: 1 left-turn lane (250’), 3 through lanes, and 1 right-turn lane (250’)
• Morada Lane Eastbound Approach: 1 left-turn lane (250’), 2 through lanes, and 1 shared through/right-turn lane
• Project Roadway Access #5 Southbound Approach: 1 right-turn lane only (through and left turns not allowed)
• Fox Creek Drive Northbound Approach: 1 shared left/through/right-turn lane
3.2 PROJECT TRIP GENERATION
Trip generation refers to the process of estimating the amount of vehicular traffic a project would add to the surrounding roadway system. Estimates are created for the daily condition and for the peak one-hour period during the morning and evening commute when traffic volumes on the adjacent streets are typically the highest. Project trip generation was estimated using rates from the Institute of Transportation Engineers (ITE) Trip Generation Manual (11th Edition), with the resulting estimates presented in Table 3-1. The project is expected to generate approximately 17,633 new daily vehicle trips, including approximately 1,262 morning peak hour and 1,848 evening peak hour trips.

HOUR TRAFFIC OPERATIONS
This chapter evaluates potential off-site traffic impacts under Existing Plus Project conditions. The Project trip assignment shown in Figure 3-1 was added to the Existing peak hour traffic volumes shown in Figure 2-1 to develop Existing Plus Project intersection turning movement volumes, as shown on Figure 4-1.
The roadway improvements presented in Chapter 3 were assumed under Existing Plus Project conditions.
Traffic signal timings, peak hour factors, pedestrian and bicycle activity at the study intersections were left unchanged from Existing Conditions. Measures to improve potentially deficient operations are provided in the CEQA Transportation Analysis (Chapter 7) and Local Roadway Transportation Analysis (Chapter 8).
4.1 SIGNAL WARRANTS
Existing Plus Project peak hour traffic signal warrants were performed at the unsignalized study intersections (intersections 2, 8, 9, and 10) and the results are presented in Table 4-1. The peak hour traffic signal warrant is satisfied at the following intersections:
• West Lane / Project Roadway Access #1 (Intersection 2) • Caywood Drive / Morada Lane / Project Roadway Access #3 (Intersection 8) • Cherbourg Way / Morada Lane / Project Roadway Access #4 (Intersection 9) The intersections listed above are assumed to be signalized under Existing Plus Project Conditions.3 Signal warrant worksheets are provided in Appendix D.
3 Intersection #8 and #9 were also evaluated as a two-lane roundabout under Project conditions.

4.2 EXISTING PLUS PROJECT INTERSECTION LEVELS OF SERVICE Intersection levels of service for Existing Plus Project Conditions are presented in Table 4-2. Under Existing Plus Project Conditions, the addition of Project traffic would cause the following intersections to have deficient operations during at least one peak hour:
• West Lane / Eight Mile Road (Intersection 1) – AM peak hour • West Lane / West Lane Frontage (Intersection 5) – AM peak hour Intersection LOS calculation worksheets are provided in Appendix E. The intersection of Fox Creek Drive/Morada Lane/Project Roadway Access #5 is not considered deficient based on the City of Stockton TIA Guidelines even though the northbound approach operates at LOS F under Existing and Existing Plus Project conditions. A side-street stop controlled intersection is considered deficient if the addition of project traffic causes the intersection to meet the CA MUTCD signal warrant criteria and there are no acceptable alternative routes that can be used. Under Existing Plus Project conditions that intersection does not meet the CA MUTCD signal warrant criteria and there are acceptable alternative routes via Cherbourg Way that can be reasonably be used by northbound traffic to access Morada Lane via a traffic signal.

Existing Plus Project 95th percentile vehicle queues are presented for turn pockets at signalized study intersections in Table 4-3. The addition of Project traffic is projected to cause the following locations to exceed available storage and increase vehicle queue lengths by more than 25 feet:
• West Lane/Eight Mile Road (Intersection 1)
• West Lane/Knickerbocker Drive (Intersection 6)
• West Lane/Hammer Lane (Intersection 7)
• Holman Road/Morada Lane (Intersection 12)
Queuing analysis worksheets provided in Appendix F show the 95th percentile queues for all movements at signalized intersections.

31 5. BACKGROUND PEAK HOUR
TRAFFIC OPERATIONS
This chapter presents the analysis results under Background and Background Plus Project conditions.
Background conditions represent projected traffic volumes and near-term roadway improvements expected to occur by the time the proposed Project would be operational. Measures to improve potentially deficient operations are provided in the CEQA Transportation Analysis (Chapter 7) and Local Roadway Transportation Analysis (Chapter 8).
5.1 BACKGROUND PEAK HOUR TRAFFIC VOLUMES
Development projects anticipated to generate traffic by the time the proposed Project would be operational include the following:
• Tra Vigne Development Project (southeast quadrant of West Lane/Eight Mile Road intersection) • Gill Medical Center (northeast quadrant of West Lane/Eight Mile Road intersection) • Cannery Park Project (southwest quadrant of the SR 99/Eight Mile Road interchange) Traffic from these developments, based on traffic studies prepared for these developments, was added to Existing peak hour traffic volumes to develop Background No Project intersection turning movement volumes, as shown on Figure 5-1. The Project trip assignment shown in Figure 3-1 was added to the Background No Project peak hour traffic volumes shown in Figure 5-1 to develop Background Plus Project intersection turning movement volumes, as shown on Figure 5-2.
5.2 ROADWAY NETWORK ASSUMPTIONS
Under Background No Project conditions it was assumed that a new signalized intersection on West Lane (West Lane/Marlette Road) about 2,000 feet north of Bear Creek would be constructed to serve traffic from the Tra Vigne Development. For this study it was assumed that this intersection would be designed and constructed to accommodate General Plan Buildout as part of the Tra Vigne Development. Improvements to the West Lane/Eight Mile Road intersection would also be made to support the Tra Vigne Development and other approved projects. The assumed intersection lane configurations are shown on Figure 5-1 for Background No Project conditions. Roadway improvements proposed by the Project and presented in Chapter 3 were assumed under Background Plus Project conditions. The assumed intersection lane configurations are shown on Figure 5-2 for Background Plus Project conditions.

34 5.3 SIGNAL WARRANTS
Peak hour traffic signal warrants were performed at the unsignalized study intersections (intersections 2, 8, 9, and 10) and the results are presented in Table 5-1. The peak hour traffic signal warrants are satisfied at the following intersections under Background Plus Project conditions:
• West Lane / Project Roadway Access #1 (Intersection 2) • Caywood Drive / Morada Lane / Project Roadway Access #3 (Intersection 8) • Cherbourg Way / Morada Lane / Project Roadway Access #4 (Intersection 9) The intersections listed above are assumed to be signalized under Background Plus Project Conditions.4 Signal warrant worksheets are provided in Appendix G.

5.4 BACKGROUND INTERSECTION LEVELS OF SERVICE
Intersection operations under Background Conditions, with and without the Project, are presented in Table 5-2. Peak hour factors, pedestrian and bicycle activity, and heavy vehicle percentages were left unchanged from existing conditions. Signal timings were updated in the Background Conditions analysis to reflect updates that would occur alongside roadway improvements. Under Background No Project Conditions, the following intersections would have deficient operations for at least one peak hour:
• West Lane/Morada Lane (Intersection 4) – AM and PM peak hour 4 Intersection #8 and #9 were also evaluated as a two-lane roundabout under Project conditions.

35 • West Lane / West Lane Frontage (Intersection 5) – AM peak hour The intersections of Morada Lane with Caywood Drive, Cherbourg Way, and Fox Creek Drive are not considered deficient based on the City of Stockton TIA Guidelines even though the northbound approach operates at LOS F for at least one peak hour. A side-street stop controlled intersection is considered deficient if the intersection meets the CA MUTCD signal warrant criteria and there are no acceptable alternative routes that can be used. These intersections do not meet the peak hour traffic signal warrant under Background No Project conditions. Furthermore, the critical movement that operates at LOS F at these intersections is the northbound left-turn movement and there are two acceptable alternative routes for the northbound left-turn movement that would provide access to all likely destinations: the first is to use to use local streets in the residential neighborhood to access northbound West Lane via a right-turn movement at Westmora Avenue (a parallel road to Morada Lane); and the second is to access southbound West Lane via the signalized intersection of West Lane/West Lane Frontage.
Under Background Plus Project Conditions, the following intersections would worsen under Project conditions and have deficient operations for at least one peak hour:
• West Lane / West Lane Frontage (Intersection 5) – AM peak hour The intersection of Fox Creek Drive/Morada Lane/Project Roadway Access #5 is not considered deficient based on the City of Stockton TIA Guidelines even though the northbound approach operates at LOS F under Background Plus Project conditions. Northbound traffic can reasonably access Morada Lane via the traffic signal at the intersection of Cherbourg Way/Morada Lane. Intersection LOS calculation worksheets are provided in Appendix H.

40 6. CUMULATIVE PEAK HOUR
TRAFFIC OPERATIONS
This chapter presents the traffic operations analysis results under Cumulative (2040) year conditions without and with the Project. Cumulative conditions represent projected traffic volumes and future roadway improvements based on the City’s Travel Demand Model under General Plan Buildout Conditions. Measures to improve potentially deficient operations are provided in the CEQA Transportation Analysis (Chapter 7) and Local Roadway Transportation Analysis (Chapter 8). Major roadway improvements in the study area are described in Table 6-1.
Table 6-1. Planned Roadway Improvements for the Cumulative Year (2040) Location Improvement
Eight Mile Road Four lanes west of West Lane
Six lanes east of West Lane
West Lane Six lanes between Eight Mile Road and Hammer Lane Morada Lane Four lanes between West Lane and Fox Creek Road Six lanes between Holman Road and SR 99
Source: Envision Stockton 2040 General Plan.
6.1 CUMULATIVE CONDITIONS PEAK HOUR TRAFFIC VOLUMES
Cumulative No Project peak hour traffic volumes were estimated using the City’s Travel Demand Model.
Cumulative No Project peak hour traffic volumes include traffic from General Plan Buildout (without the Project) and also reflect traffic from the following approved/planned development in the Project vicinity:
• Tra Vigne Development Project (southeast quadrant of West Lane/Eight Mile Road intersection) • Gill Medical Center (northeast quadrant of West Lane/Eight Mile Road intersection) • Cannery Park Project (southwest quadrant of the SR 99/Eight Mile Road interchange) • LeBaron Ranch (southwest quadrant of West Lane/Eight Mile Road intersection) Cumulative Plus Project peak hour traffic volumes were estimated by adding traffic generated by the Project to the Cumulative No Project intersection turning movement volumes. Cumulative No Project intersection turning movement volumes are presented in Figure 6-1. Cumulative Plus Project intersection turning movement volumes are presented in Figure 6-2.

43 6.2 SIGNAL WARRANTS
Cumulative No Project and Cumulative Plus Project peak hour traffic signal warrants were performed at the unsignalized study intersections (intersections 2, 8, 9, and 10) and the results are presented in Table 6-2. Under Cumulative No Project conditions none of the unsignalized study intersections meet the peak hour traffic signal warrant. Under Cumulative Plus Project conditions the peak hour traffic signal warrants are satisfied at the following intersections:
• West Lane / Project Roadway Access #1 (Intersection 2) • Caywood Drive / Morada Lane / Project Roadway Access #3 (Intersection 8) • Cherbourg Way / Morada Lane / Project Roadway Access #4 (Intersection 9) The intersections listed above are assumed to be signalized under Cumulative Plus Project Conditions.5 Signal warrant worksheets are provided in Appendix J.

6.3 CUMULATIVE CONDITIONS INTERSECTION LEVELS
OF SERVICE
Intersection operations under Cumulative Conditions, with and without the Project, are presented in Table 6-3. Pedestrian and bicycle activity, and heavy vehicle percentages were left unchanged from existing conditions. Peak hour factors were set to be equal to existing or a minimum of 0.92 (HCM recommended default).
5 Intersection #8 and #9 were also evaluated as a two-lane roundabout under Project conditions.

Draft Transportation Impact Analysis

44 Signal timings were updated in the Cumulative year analysis to reflect updates that would occur alongside roadway improvements. Under Cumulative No Project Conditions, the following intersections would have deficient operations for at least one peak hour:
• West Lane/Morada Lane (Intersection 4) – AM peak hour The intersections of Morada Lane with Caywood Drive, Cherbourg Way, and Fox Creek Drive are not considered deficient based on the City of Stockton TIA Guidelines even though the northbound approach operates at LOS F for at least one peak hour. A side-street stop controlled intersection is considered deficient if the intersection meets the CA MUTCD signal warrant criteria and there are no acceptable alternative routes that can be used. These intersections do not meet the peak hour traffic signal warrant under Cumulative No Project conditions. Furthermore, the critical movement that operates at LOS F at these intersections is the northbound left-turn movement and there are two acceptable alternative routes for the northbound left-turn movement that would provide access to all likely destinations: the first is to use to use local streets in the residential neighborhood to access northbound West Lane via a right-turn movement at Westmora Avenue (a parallel road to Morada Lane); and the second is to access southbound West Lane via the signalized intersection of West Lane/West Lane Frontage.
Under Cumulative Plus Project Conditions, the following intersections would worsen under Project conditions and have deficient operations for at least one peak hour:
• Holman Road/Morada Lane (Intersection 12) – AM peak hour The intersection of Cherbourg Way/Morada Lane/Project Roadway Access #4 is not considered deficient because the intersection would operate at LOS C or better under traffic signal control. As a two-lane roundabout, the eastbound Morada Lane approach, including the eastbound left-turn into the Project site, is anticipated to operate at LOS F during the AM peak hour. As a two-lane roundabout, the operations of the intersection would not be consistent with the City’s LOS policy under Cumulative Plus Project conditions.
The intersection of Fox Creek Drive/Morada Lane/Project Roadway Access #5 is not considered deficient based on the City of Stockton TIA Guidelines even though the northbound approach operates at LOS F under Cumulative Plus Project conditions. Northbound traffic can reasonably access Morada Lane via the traffic signal at the intersection of Cherbourg Way/Morada Lane. Intersection LOS calculation worksheets are provided in Appendix K.

49 7. PROJECT SITE ACCESS
AND CIRCULATION
Site access and internal circulation for vehicles, pedestrians, and bicycles was evaluated based on the site plan presented on Figure 1-1.
7.1 VEHICULAR SITE ACCESS AND CIRCULATION
As discussed earlier in the report vehicular access to the Project site would be provided from the following locations:
• West Lane / Project Roadway Access #1 (Intersection 2) • West Lane / Project Roadway Access #2 (Intersection 3) • Caywood Drive / Morada Lane / Project Roadway Access #3 (Intersection 8) • Cherbourg Way / Morada Lane / Project Roadway Access #4 (Intersection 9) • Fox Creek Drive / Morada Lane / Project Roadway Access #5 (Intersection 10)
7.1.1 TRAFFIC SIGNAL OR SIDE-STREET STOP CONTROL AT PROJECT ROADWAY ACCESS
LOCATIONS
All movements into and out of the Project site are anticipated to operate at LOS D or better under all analysis scenarios assuming a traffic signal at Intersection 2, 8, and 9 and side-street stop control at Intersection 3 and 10. Furthermore, adequate vehicle storage would be provided at the site access locations to accommodate the 95th percentile vehicle queues, and adequate deceleration lane lengths are proposed for the left-turn and right-turn lanes on West Lane and Morada Lane. Table 7-1 compares the proposed deceleration lane lengths and vehicle storage against the guidance presented in the Caltrans Highway Design Manual (HDM). West Lane has a posted speed limit of 55 mph and Morada Lane has a posted speed limit of 45 mph.

7.1.2 ROUNDABOUTS AT PROJECT ROADWAY ACCESS #3 AND #4
In addition to a traffic signal, a two-lane roundabout is also under consideration at Project Roadway Access #3 and #4 (Intersection 8 and 9). Under Existing Plus Project and Background Plus Project conditions, all movements into and out of the Project site are anticipated to operate at LOS D or better.
However, under Cumulative Plus Project conditions, the eastbound Morada Lane approach at Intersection 9, including the eastbound left-turn into the Project site, is anticipated to operate at LOS F during the AM peak hour. As a two-lane roundabout, the operations of Intersection 9 would not be consistent with the City’s LOS policy under Cumulative Plus Project conditions.
7.1.3 INTERNAL VEHICLE CIRCULATION
All internal local residential roadways are proposed to have a 54’ right-of-way (ROW) with a curb-to-curb width of 34 feet that would accommodate two travel lanes (one lane in each direction). All internal collector roadways are proposed to have a 56’ ROW with a curb-to-curb width of 26 feet that would

51 accommodate two travel lanes (one lane in each direction). The major project roadways providing access to West Lane (intersection 2) or Morada Lane (intersections 8, 9, and 10) are proposed to have a 96’ ROW and can accommodate four travel lanes (two lanes in each direction). The proposed internal roadway designs are consistent with City of Stockton street design standards.
Average daily traffic (ADT) volumes are presented in Figure 7-1 for selected roadway locations within the Project site. These selected locations are representative of the range of ADT volumes that can be expected within the Project. Figure 7-1 also presents total daily volume arriving at several internal intersections. The typical capacity of a two-lane collector roadway is about 13,200 daily vehicles based on the City of Stockton General Plan. The typical capacity of a four-way all-way stop controlled intersection with one lane on all approaches is about 13,500 daily vehicles while a single lane roundabout can accommodate about 20,000 daily vehicles based on HCM. The proposed internal roadway designs would provide adequate vehicular capacity to accommodate Project traffic.
7.2 PEDESTRIAN AND BICYCLE CIRCULATION
All internal project roadways will have at a minimum 5’ sidewalk on either side of the street. In some cases, an 8’ meandering sidewalk is proposed as shown in Figure 7-2. There will be no gaps in the pedestrian circulation system and pedestrian access will be provided to West Lane and Morada Lane via the project roadway access points.
Figure 7-2 also presents the bicycle facilities that will be provided by the Project. These include:
• 12’ multi-use pedestrian path along Bear Creek
• 11’ one-way separated bikeway (Class IV) on West Lane along the Project frontage • 5’ bike lane (Class II) on Morada Lane along the Project frontage The proposed bicycle facilities are consistent with the City Stockton Bicycle Master Plan (2017).

54 8. CEQA TRANSPORTATION
ANALYSIS
Based on the definitions and determining factors outlined in the CEQA Appendix G Environmental Checklist Form, the Project would have a significant impact on the environment if the Project would:
A. Conflict with a program, plan, ordinance, or policy addressing the circulation system, including transit roadway, bicycle, and pedestrian facilities.
B. Conflict or be inconsistent with CEQA Guidelines section 15064.3, subdivision (b).
C. Substantially increase hazards due to a geometric design feature (e.g., sharp curves or dangerous intersections) or incompatible uses (e.g., farm equipment).
D. Result in inadequate emergency access.
8.1 PROGRAMS, PLANS, ORDINANCES AND POLICIES
The TIA Guidelines includes a list of significance criteria consistent with policies set in the Envision Stockton 2040 General Plan (2018) and City of Stockton Bicycle Master Plan (2017).
8.1.1 ROADWAY SYSTEM
8.1.1.1 TRAFFIC SIGNAL WARRANTS
The Project would create a significant impact related to the roadway system if:
At unsignalized intersections, the project results in any of the traffic signal warrants included in the CA Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices (MUTCD) to be satisfied, or for a location where any of the warrants are satisfied prior to the project, the project increases overall travel through the intersection.
8.1.1.1.1 EXISTING PLUS PROJECT CONDITIONS
The addition of Project traffic causes the signal warrant to be satisfied at the following intersections. • West Lane / Project Roadway Access #1 (Intersection 2) • Caywood Drive / Morada Lane / Project Roadway Access #3 (Intersection 8) • Cherbourg Way / Morada Lane / Project Roadway Access #4 (Intersection 9) The Project proposes to signalize intersections 2, 8, and 9; therefore, Project’s impact to traffic signal warrants is considered less-than-significant.

55 8.1.1.1.2 BACKGROUND PLUS PROJECT CONDITIONS
The addition of Project traffic causes the signal warrant to be satisfied at the following intersections. • West Lane / Project Roadway Access #1 (Intersection 2) • Caywood Drive / Morada Lane / Project Roadway Access #3 (Intersection 8) • Cherbourg Way / Morada Lane / Project Roadway Access #4 (Intersection 9) The Project proposes to signalize intersections 2, 8, and 9; therefore, Project’s impact to traffic signal warrants is considered less-than-significant.
8.1.1.1.3 CUMULATIVE PLUS PROJECT CONDITIONS
The addition of Project traffic causes the signal warrant to be satisfied at the following intersections. • West Lane / Project Roadway Access #1 (Intersection 2) • Caywood Drive / Morada Lane / Project Roadway Access #3 (Intersection 8) • Cherbourg Way / Morada Lane / Project Roadway Access #4 (Intersection 9) The Project proposes to signalize intersections 2, 8, and 9; therefore, Project’s impact to traffic signal warrants is considered less-than-significant.
8.1.1.2 95TH PERCENTILE QUEUES
The Project would create a significant impact related to the roadway system if:
The Project creates the potential for 95th percentile vehicle queues that exceed available storage and could periodically block or interfere with pedestrian, bicycle, or transit facilities.
8.1.1.2.1 EXISTING PLUS PROJECT CONDITIONS
The addition of Project traffic, under Existing Plus Project conditions, causes the 95th percentile queue to exceed available storage and increases vehicle queue lengths by more than 25 feet at the following locations.
Impact TR-1: West Lane/Eight Mile Road (Intersection 1) – During the AM and/or PM peak hour several turning movements (eastbound right, westbound left, and northbound left) exceed available storage and the 95th percentile queue increases by more than 25 feet with the addition of Project traffic. Based on the City of Stockton TIA Guidelines, this is considered a significant impact under Existing Plus Project conditions.

56 Mitigation Measure TR-1: The applicant shall pay a one-time only fee to the City of Stockton, prior to the City granting the last building occupancy, representing the Project’s pro-rata share of the cost to construct a second 375’ northbound left-turn lane (with a second receiving lane on westbound Eight Mile Road) and the cost to modify the signal timing at the intersection of West Lane/Eight Mile Road (Intersection 1) to better accommodate changed travel patterns with the Project.
The implementation of this measure would reduce the queue lengths to fall within the available storage or be better than Existing without Project Conditions, as shown in Table 8-1, and reduce the Project impact to a less-than-significant level. However, as payment of a fee does not guarantee that the City of Stockton in coordination with San Joaquin County will modify the intersection lane configuration, the impact could remain significant and unavoidable.
Impact TR-2: West Lane/Knickerbocker Drive (Intersection 6) – During the AM peak hour the southbound left-turn would exceed the available storage with the addition of Project traffic. Based on the City of Stockton TIA Guidelines, this is considered a significant impact under Existing Plus Project conditions.
Mitigation Measure TR-2: The applicant shall pay a one-time only fee to the City of Stockton, prior to the City granting the last building occupancy, representing the Project’s pro-rata share of the cost to modify the signal timing at the intersection of West Lane/Knickerbocker Drive (Intersection 6) to better accommodate changed travel patterns with the Project.
The implementation of this measure would reduce the queue lengths to fall within the available storage or be better than Existing without Project Conditions, as shown in Table 8-1, and reduce the Project impact to a less-than-significant level. However, as payment of a fee does not guarantee that the City of Stockton will modify the traffic signal timing, this impact could remain significant and unavoidable.
Impact TR-3: West Lane/Hammer Lane (Intersection 7) – During the AM and PM peak hour the eastbound left-turn exceeds the available storage and the 95th percentile queue increases by more than 25 feet. Based on the City of Stockton TIA Guidelines, this is considered a significant impact under Existing Plus Project conditions.
Mitigation Measure TR-3: The applicant shall pay a one-time only fee to the City of Stockton, prior to the City granting the last building occupancy, representing the Project’s pro-rata share of the cost to modify the signal timing at the intersection of West Lane/Hammer Lane (Intersection 7) to better accommodate changed travel patterns with the Project.

57 to a less-than-significant level. However, as payment of a fee does not guarantee that the City of Stockton will modify the traffic signal timing, this impact could remain significant and unavoidable.
Impact TR-4: Holman Road/Morada Lane (Intersection 12) – During the AM peak hour the eastbound left-turn and northbound left-turn lane exceeds the available storage and the 95th percentile queue increases by more than 25 feet. Based on the City of Stockton TIA Guidelines, this is considered a significant impact under Existing Plus Project conditions.
Mitigation Measure TR-4: The applicant shall pay a one-time only fee to the City of Stockton, prior to the City granting the last building occupancy, representing the Project’s pro-rata share of the cost to restripe one eastbound through lane to an eastbound left-turn lane and restripe one northbound through lane to a northbound left-turn lane and the cost to modify the signal timing at the intersection of Holman Road/Morada Lane (Intersection 12) to better accommodate changed travel patterns with the Project.
The implementation of this measure would reduce the queue lengths to fall within the available vehicle storage or be better than Existing without Project Conditions, as shown in Table 8-1, and reduce the Project impact to a less-than-significant level. However, as payment of a fee does not guarantee that the City of Stockton will modify the intersection lane configuration, this impact could remain significant and unavoidable.

8.1.1.2.3 CUMULATIVE PLUS PROJECT CONDITIONS
The addition of Project traffic, under Cumulative Plus Project conditions, causes the 95th percentile queue to exceed available storage and increases vehicle queue lengths by more than 25 feet at the following locations.
Impact TR-9: West Lane/Eight Mile Road (Intersection 1) – During the AM and PM peak hour the eastbound right-turn lane exceeds the available storage and the 95th percentile queue increases by more

62 than 25 feet with the addition of Project traffic. Based on the City of Stockton TIA Guidelines, this is considered a significant impact under Cumulative Plus Project conditions.
Mitigation Measure TR-9: The applicant shall pay all local and regional transportation impact fees that help fund periodic traffic signal and intersection modifications by the responsible agency and shall pay a one-time only fee to the City of Stockton, prior to the City granting the last building occupancy, representing the Project’s pro-rata share of the cost to make modifications and improvements at this intersection.
Extending the eastbound right-turn lane to provide 350 feet of vehicle storage would accommodate the queue length, as shown in Table 8-3, and reduce the Project impact to a less-than-significant level.
However, as payment of a fee does not guarantee that the City of Stockton in coordination with San Joaquin County will implement the improvement, the impact could remain significant and unavoidable.
Impact TR-10: West Lane/Hammer Lane (Intersection 7) – During the PM peak hour the eastbound leftturn exceeds the available storage and the 95th percentile queue increases by more than 25 feet. Based on the City of Stockton TIA Guidelines, this is considered a significant impact under Cumulative Plus Project conditions.
Mitigation Measure TR-10: Implement Mitigation Measure TR-9.
Modification of this intersection to restripe one eastbound through lane to a left-turn lane would reduce the queue lengths to fall within the available storage or be better than Cumulative No Project Conditions, as shown in Table 8-3, and reduce the Project impact to a less-than-significant level. The intersection LOS would remain at LOS E during the AM and PM peak hour. However, as payment of a fee does not guarantee that the City of Stockton will modify the intersection lane configuration, this impact could remain significant and unavoidable.
Impact TR-11: Holman Road/Morada Lane (Intersection 12) – During the AM peak hour the eastbound left-turn and right-turn lane exceed the available storage and the 95th percentile queue increases by more than 25 feet. During the PM peak hour, the eastbound left-turn and northbound left-turn lane exceed the available storage and the 95th percentile queue increases by more than 25 feet. Based on the City of Stockton TIA Guidelines, this is considered a significant impact under Cumulative Plus Project conditions.
Mitigation Measure TR-11: Implement Mitigation Measure TR-9.
Modification of this intersection to restripe one through lane to a left-turn lane on all approaches would reduce the queue lengths to fall within the available storage or be better than Cumulative No Project Conditions, as shown in Table 8-3, and reduce the Project impact to a less-than-significant level.

64 8.1.2 TRANSIT SYSTEM
The project would create a significant impact related to transit service if:
The project disrupts an existing transit facility or service or interferes with the implementation of future transit service.
The Project does not disrupt an existing transit facility or service and would not interfere with the implementation of future transit service; therefore, the Project’s impact to transit is less-than-significant.
8.1.3 BICYCLE SYSTEM
The project would create a significant impact related to the bicycle system if any of the following criteria are met:
• Disrupt existing bicycle facilities; or
• Interfere with planned bicycle facilities; or
• Cause other changes to the bicycle system that would be inconsistent with performance expectations established in adopted bicycle system plans, guidelines, policies, or standards.
The Project would provide the following along its frontage: 1) Class II bike lanes on Morada Lane and 2) one-way separated bikeway (Class IV) on West Lane. The proposed bicycle facilities are consistent with the City of Stockton Bicycle Master Plan (2017). The Project does not disrupt existing bicycle facilities, interfere with planned bicycle facilities, or propose any changes to the bicycle system that are inconsistent with adopted bicycle system plans; therefore, the Project’s impact to the bicycle system is less-than-significant.
8.1.4 PEDESTRIAN SYSTEM
The project would create a significant impact related to the pedestrian system if any of the following criteria are met:
• Disrupt existing pedestrian facilities; or
• Interfere with planned pedestrian facilities; or
• Cause other changes to the pedestrian system that would be inconsistent with performance expectations established in adopted pedestrian system plans, guidelines, policies, or standards, including the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA).

65 There are currently no pedestrian facilities along the Project frontage. The Project would construct 8-foot sidewalk along the Project frontage on Morada Lane and West Lane, which is consistent with the City of Stockton Standard Plans and Specifications. The Project does not disrupt existing pedestrian facilities, interfere with planned pedestrian facilities, or propose any changes to the pedestrian system that would be inconsistent with pedestrian system policies, therefore the Project’s impact to the pedestrian system is less-than-significant.
8.2 VEHICLE MILES TRAVEL
For the purposes of CEQA, level of service cannot be used to determine a project’s environmental impact; CEQA Guidelines Section §15064.3 requires Vehicle Miles of Travel (VMT) analysis for land use developments. The City of Stockton VMT impact analysis process is documented in the City of Stockton Transportation Impact Analysis Guidelines (Adopted May 2, 2023).
According to the City’s TIA Guidelines, a project is relieved from VMT impact analysis if it meets one of the following screening criteria:
8. Within a Transit Priority Area (TPA);
9. Is 100% restricted affordable housing;
10. Small project (generating 110 trips or less per day);
11. Is a locally serving public facility that contributes and supports community needs;
12. Neighborhood-serving retail project less than 50,000 square feet;
13. Located within a low VMT area; or
14. For specific project types that are consistent with General Plan and zoning standards, and do not trigger and EIR such as:
a. Housing: Residential projects within the City Limits that are consistent with all General Plan and zoning standards, are near transit (i.e., is within half a mile of a transit stop), or included as a housing capacity site needed to meet the City’s fair share of Regional Housing Needs Allocation (RHNA), as outlined in the City’s Housing Element. b. General Plan and Zoning Consistency: Projects that are:
i. Consistent with the General Plan and Zoning that do not require a General Plan land use map amendment.
ii. Do not require an EIR for project related impacts beyond the General Plan EIR. iii. Located within the Greater Downtown Planning area, as defined in the General Plan, and do not require a land use map amendment or EIR.
The Project meets screening criteria #7 (consistent with General Plan & zoning standards). The Project is consistent with the land use presented in the Envision Stockton 2040 General Plan (i.e., low density

66 residential with less than 6.1 units per gross acre). The Project is also located within a half-mile of two transit stops on West Lane. Based on the screening criteria the Project is presumed to not require additional CEQA VMT impact analysis.
8.3 GEOMETRIC DESIGN FEATURES
The Project would create a significant impact related to geometric design feature if it would:
Substantially increase hazards due to a geometric design feature (e.g., sharp curves or dangerous intersections) or incompatible uses (e.g., farm equipment)? This means that the project would cause a significant impact if the project adds demand to facilities that do not meet applicable design standards or if the project proposes transportation network modifications that are inconsistent with applicable design standards.
Vehicular access to the Project site would be provided by two unsignalized and three signalized intersections that are designed to be perpendicular to the major streets. Parking is restricted on the major streets and there are no additional obstructions that would limit sight distance from the Project driveways.
The Project would also provide turn pockets with adequate vehicle storage and deceleration lane distance.
The Project does not propose any substandard design features, therefore the Project’s impact to geometric design hazards is considered less-than-significant.
8.4 EMERGENCY ACCESS
Several factors determine whether a project has adequate access for emergency vehicles, including the following:
1. Number of access points (both public and emergency access only)
2. Width of internal roadways
3. Turnarounds at dead-end streets
Emergency vehicle access to the Project site is provided from all five roadway access locations that are designed to accommodate emergency vehicles. Cross-sections for the proposed streets within the Project site were reviewed and all street sections provide a minimum of 20-feet of clearway (meaning no obstructions in terms of parked vehicles, landscaping, etc.), such that sufficient width is provided for emergency vehicle access and circulation. There are several dead-end streets provided within the residential development that measure less than 500’ and provide 96-foot diameter cul-de-sacs. This meets the requirements of the California Fire Code. Emergency vehicle access to the Project site is consistent with Policy SAF-2.2 and Action SAF-2.2A of the General Plan. The Project’s impact to emergency access is less-than-significant.

TRANSPORTATION ANALYSIS
The Local Transportation Study is prepared to provide information to decision-makers and the public, and to assist City staff in understanding what types of improvements should be considered as Conditions of Approval for the project, and to evaluate the Project’s consistency with the City’s General Plan LOS policy.
According to the TIA Guidelines, at a signalized intersection not located along a corridor with physical constraints that limit the improvements that can be constructed, a deficiency is identified:
• If the addition of project traffic causes a signalized intersection to perform at an unacceptable LOS E or F condition during a peak hour or,
• If the addition of project traffic exacerbates an existing LOS E or F condition by increasing the delay by 5 or more seconds.
At signalized intersections located along a corridor with physical constraints that limit the improvements that can be constructed,6 a deficiency is identified:
• If the addition of project traffic causes a signalized intersection to perform at an unacceptable LOS F condition during a peak hour or,
• If the addition of project traffic exacerbates an existing LOS F condition by increasing the delay by 5 or more seconds.
For stop-controlled intersections, a deficiency is identified if:
• The addition of project traffic causes a stop-controlled intersection to perform at an unacceptable LOS E or F condition during a peak hour and causes the intersection to meet the CA MUTCD signal warrant criteria or,
• Exacerbates an existing LOS E or F condition by increasing the delay by 5 or more seconds and causes the intersection to meet the CA MUTCD signal warrant criteria. 6 The Stockton General Plan notes that the intersection of West Lane/Hammer Lane is located along a corridor with physical constraints that limit the improvements that can be constructed. The LOS standard for this intersection is LOS E or better.

68 9.1 EXISTING PLUS PROJECT CONDITIONS
Under the Existing Plus Project scenario, the addition of Project traffic degrades operations below standards set by the City’s General Plan LOS policy at the following intersections:
• West Lane / Eight Mile Road (Intersection 1)
• West Lane / West Lane Frontage (Intersection 5)
The following Conditions of Approvals (COA) would improve operations to acceptable or better than No Project conditions at the deficient intersections, as shown in Table 9-1.
West Lane/Eight Mile Road (Intersection 1) – The addition of Project traffic would degrade intersection operations from LOS D to E during the AM peak hour.
Condition of Approval EX-1: Implement Mitigation Measure TR-1.
Modification of West Lane/Eight Mile Road (Intersection 1) to include a second northbound left-turn would improve operations to LOS D and LOS C during the AM and PM peak hour, respectively.
West Lane/West Lane Frontage (Intersection 5) – The addition of Project traffic would degrade intersection operations from LOS D to E during the AM peak hour.
Condition of Approval EX-2: The applicant shall pay a one-time only fee to the City of Stockton, prior to the City granting the last building occupancy, representing the Project’s pro-rata share of the cost to construct a third northbound and southbound through lane and modify the signal timing at the intersection of West Lane/West Lane Frontage (Intersection 5) to better accommodate changed travel patterns with the Project.
Modification of West Lane/West Lane Frontage (Intersection 5) to include a third northbound and southbound through lane would improve operations to LOS C and LOS B during the AM and PM peak hour, respectively. A third northbound and southbound through lane is consistent with the City’s planned roadway improvement to widen West Lane to six lanes between Eight Mile Road and Hammer Lane.
