EXECUTIVE SUMMARY The purpose of this report is to provide an assessment of potential traffic impacts resulting from development of the proposed Locust Avenue & Vineyard Avenue project and to identify the traffic mitigation measures necessary to maintain the established level of service standard for the elements of the impacted roadway system. The traffic issues related to the proposed land use and development have been evaluated in the context of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA). The City of Rialto is the lead agency responsible for preparation of the traffic impact analysis, in accordance with California Environmental Quality Act authorizing legislation. This report analyzes traffic impacts for the anticipated opening date with occupancy of the development in Opening Year 2019, at which time it will be generating trips at its full potential. This report also analyzes potential project traffic impacts for General Plan Buildout (Post‐2035) traffic conditions. Although this is a technical report, every effort has been made to write the report clearly and concisely. To assist the reader with those terms unique to transportation engineering, a glossary of terms is provided in Appendix A. A. Project Description
The project site is located at the northeast corner of the Locust Avenue/Vineyard Avenue intersection in the City of Rialto. The 6.32 acre project site is proposed to consist of a 120,600 square foot warehouse facility. Access is proposed to be provided to Locust Avenue and Vineyard Avenue. For purposes of this analysis, the project is planned to be fully operational by year 2019.
B. Traffic Conditions The study area roadway segments currently operate at acceptable Levels of Service (see Table 1). The study area intersections currently operate within acceptable Levels of Service during the peak hours for Existing traffic conditions (see Table 2). The proposed project is forecast to generate approximately 719 daily passenger car equivalent trips, 59 passenger car equivalents trips of which will occur during the morning peak hour and 64 passenger car equivalent trips of which will occur during the evening peak hour (see Table 3).

I. INTRODUCTION This section discusses the project location and proposed development and study area. Figure 1 shows the project location map and Figure 2 illustrates the project site plan. A. Purpose and Objectives
The purpose of this report is to provide an assessment of potential traffic impacts resulting from development of the proposed Locust Avenue & Vineyard Avenue project and to identify the traffic mitigation measures necessary to maintain the established level of service standard for the elements of the impacted roadway system. The traffic issues related to the proposed land use and development have been evaluated in the context of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA). The City of Rialto is the lead agency responsible for preparation of the traffic impact analysis, in accordance with California Environmental Quality Act authorizing legislation. This report analyzes traffic impacts for the anticipated opening date with occupancy of the development in Opening Year 2019, at which time it will be generating trips at its full potential. This report also analyzes potential project traffic impacts for Long‐Range (Post‐2035) traffic conditions. Although this is a technical report, every effort has been made to write the report clearly and concisely. To assist the reader with those terms unique to transportation engineering, a glossary of terms is provided in Appendix A.

II. METHODOLOGY The scope of this traffic impact analysis is based on the guidance provided in the City of Rialto Traffic Impact Analysis Report Guidelines and Requirements (December 2013). A. Intersection Analysis Methodology
The technique used to assess the performance of an intersection is known as the intersection delay method based on the procedures contained in the 2010 Highway Capacity Manual (Transportation Research Board, 2010). The methodology compares the volume of traffic using the intersection to the capacity of the intersection to calculate the delay associated with associated with the traffic control at the intersection. The intersection delay is then correlated to a performance measure known as Level of Service based on the following thresholds:
Level of
Service
Intersection Control Delay (Seconds / Vehicle) Signalized Intersection
Unsignalized Intersection
A ≤ 10.0 ≤ 10.0
B > 10.0 to ≤ 20.0 > 10.0 to ≤ 15.0
C > 20.0 to ≤ 35.0 > 15.0 to ≤ 25.0
D > 35.0 to ≤ 55.0 > 25.0 to ≤ 35.0
E > 55.0 to ≤ 80.0 > 35.0 to ≤ 50.0
F > 80.0 > 50.0 Source: Highway Capacity Manual 2010 (Transportation Research Board, 2010).
Level of Service is used to qualitatively describe the performance of a roadway facility, ranging from Level of Service A (free‐flow conditions) to Level of Service F (extreme congestion and system failure). Signalized intersection analysis input parameters for Highway Capacity Manual calculations were used in accordance with Exhibit C of the City of Rialto Traffic Impact Analysis Report Guidelines and Requirements (December 2013).
B. Roadway Segment Analysis Methodology Roadway segments are analyzed based on a volume to capacity analysis of average daily traffic volumes compared to the roadway capacities defined by the City of Rialto as follows:

3 Two‐lane roads designated as future arterials that conform to arterial design standards for vertical and horizontal alignments are analyzed as arterials.
Source: City of Rialto Public Works Department, Traffic Impact Analysis Report Guidelines and Requirement, December 2013.
C. Level of Service Standards The City of Rialto 2010 General Plan Update contains the following policies applicable to Level of Service standards within the City: ■ Policy 4‐1.20: Design City streets so that signalized intersections operate at Level of
Service (LOS) D or better during the morning and evening peak hours, and require new development to mitigate traffic impacts that degrade LOS below that level. The one exception will be Riverside Avenue south of the Metrolink tracks all the way to the City’s southern border, which can operate at LOS E.
■ Policy 4‐1.21: Design City streets so that unsignalized intersections operate with no vehicular movement having an average delay greater than 120 seconds during the morning and evening peak hours, and require new development to mitigate traffic impacts that increase delay above that level.
Based on the above thresholds, signalized study intersections and roadway segments operating at Level of Service E or F are considered deficient. Unsignalized study intersections operating at Level of Service F with greater than 120 seconds of delay are considered deficient.
D. Thresholds of Significance In accordance with Exhibit F of the City of Rialto Traffic Impact Analysis Report Guidelines and Requirements (December 2013), a significant impact is deemed to occur if:
7
-
7
■ The project causes the worst vehicular movement at an unsignalized study intersection to exceed 120 seconds; or
■ The project causes a signalized study intersection or roadway segment to fall below Level of Service D (except Riverside Avenue from the Metrolink tracks to the City’s southern border, which can operate at LOS E); or
■ The project causes the peak hour delay to increase as follows:
Level of Service Increase in Delay (seconds)
A/B 10.0 seconds
C 8.0 seconds
D 5.0 seconds
E 2.0 seconds
F 1.0 seconds

III. EXISTING CONDITIONS A. Existing Traffic Controls & Intersection Geometry
Figure 3 identifies the Existing number of through lanes, intersection traffic controls, and intersection geometry based on a field survey of the study area. Regional access to/from the project site is provided by the SR‐210 Freeway. North‐south local circulation in the project vicinity is primarily provided by Locust Avenue and Alder Avenue. East‐west roadways that provide local circulation in the project vicinity include Casmalia Street, Bohnert Avenue, and Renaissance Parkway.
B. Existing Traffic Volumes Existing peak hour traffic volumes are based upon morning peak period and evening peak period intersection turning movement counts conducted in June 2017 and December 2016 and during typical weekday conditions. The morning peak period was counted between 7:00 AM and 9:00 AM and the evening peak period was counted between 4:00 PM and 6:00 PM. The actual peak hour within the peak period is the four consecutive 15‐minute periods with the highest total volume when all movements are added together. Thus, the weekday evening peak hour at one intersection may be 4:45 PM to 5:45 PM if those four consecutive 15‐minute periods have the highest combined volume. Intersection Turning Movement count worksheets are provided in Appendix C. The peak hour intersection turning movement counts were converted into passenger car equivalents in accordance with the City of Rialto Traffic Impact Analysis Report Guidelines and Requirements (1.5 passenger car equivalents for 2‐axle trucks, 2.0 passenger car equivalents for 3‐axle trucks, and 3.0 passenger car equivalents for trucks with 4 or more axles). The existing average daily traffic volumes have been directly measured or factored from peak hour volumes using the following formula for each intersection leg based on measured daily traffic counts at 3 representative locations in the study area:
PM Peak Hour (Approach Volume + Exit Volume) x 13.8 = Leg Volume. Figure 4 depicts the existing average daily traffic volumes. Figure 5 and Figure 6 show the existing morning peak hour and evening peak hour intersection turning movement volumes (in passenger car equivalents), respectively.
C. Existing Levels of Service Existing roadway segment capacity analysis is shown in Table 1. As shown in Table 1, the study area roadway segments currently operate at acceptable Levels of Service. The morning and evening peak hour intersection delay and Levels of Service for Existing traffic conditions have been calculated and are shown in Table 2. As shown in Table 2, the

study area intersections currently operate within acceptable Levels of Service during the peak hours for Existing traffic conditions. Existing intersection delay and Level of Service worksheets are provided in Appendix D.
D. General Plan General Plan/Renaissance Specific Plan Circulation Element The City of Rialto General Plan Circulation Element is shown on Figure 7. Existing and future roadways are included in the Circulation Element of the General Plan and are graphically depicted on Figure 7. This figure shows the nature and extent of arterial highways that are needed to adequately serve the ultimate development depicted by the Land Use Element of the General Plan. The City of Rialto General Plan roadway cross‐sections are shown on Figure 8. The City of Rialto designated truck route map is illustrated on Figure 9. The Renaissance Specific Plan bicycle and pedestrian circulation plan is illustrated on Figure 10. Existing pedestrian facilities adjacent to the project site are shown on Figure 11.
E. Transit Service Figure 12 shows the City of Rialto transit/rail routes and service areas. As shown on Figure 12, Omnitrans Route 22 runs along Locust Avenue and Bohnert Avenue, providing transit connection between Rialto and the Arrowhead Regional Medical Center in Colton.

IV. PROJECT TRIPS A. Trip Generation
Trip generation rates were determined for daily trips, morning peak hour inbound and outbound trips, and evening peak hour inbound and outbound trips for the proposed land use. The number of trips forecast to be generated by the proposed project are determined by multiplying the trip generation rates by the land use quantity. Table 3 shows the project trip generation based upon rates obtained from the Institute of Transportation Engineers, Trip Generation Manual, 9th Edition, 2012. The project trip generation has been converted into passenger car equivalent trips in accordance with the truck percentages and PCE factors outlined in the City of Rialto Traffic Impact Analysis Report Guidelines and Requirements (2014). As shown in Table 3, the proposed project is forecast to generate approximately 719 daily passenger car equivalent trips, 59 passenger car equivalent trips of which will occur during the morning peak hour and 64 passenger car equivalent trips of which will occur during the evening peak hour.
B. Trip Distribution Figure 13 and Figure 14 show the project trip distribution patterns for cars and trucks, respectively. The forecast project trip distributions are based on review of existing traffic data, surrounding land uses, and the local and regional roadway facilities in the project vicinity.
C. Trip Assignment Based on the identified trip generation and distributions, project average daily traffic volumes have been calculated and shown on Figure 15. Morning and evening peak hour intersection turning movement volumes expected from the project are shown on Figure 16 and Figure 17, respectively.
D. Project Trip Contribution Test Figure 18 shows the forecast project trip contribution test used for identifying the study area. The City of Rialto requires the study area to include any intersection of streets on which at least one street is classified as Collector or above and the proposed project is forecast to contribute more than 50 peak hour trips. Figure 18 shows the project trip contribution test volumes on the roadways adjacent to the potential intersection analysis locations until the project volume has dropped below the 50 peak hour trip threshold.

V. FUTURE TRAFFIC VOLUMES A. Method of Projection
To assess future traffic conditions, existing traffic is combined with project trips, ambient growth, and other development. The project completion year for analysis purposes in this report is 2019. 1. Ambient Growth
To account for ambient growth on roadways, existing traffic volumes were increased by two percent per year over a two year period.
2. Other Development A list of other pending or approved development projects were provided by City of Rialto staff. Table 4 shows the forecast trip generation for other developments forecast to add future traffic to the study area. Figure 19 shows the location of other developments.
3. General Plan Buildout Conditions General Plan Buildout traffic volumes are based on the “Year 2035 With RSPA Peak Hour Traffic Volumes” contained in the Renaissance Specific Plan Amendment [RSPA] Traffic Impact Analysis (LSA, 2015). The forecast turning movements were reviewed for reasonableness and adjusted as necessary to ensure traffic growth over cumulative (Year 2019) traffic conditions.
B. Future Traffic Volumes
1. Existing Plus Project Traffic Volumes The traffic volumes for Existing Plus Project conditions have been derived by adding the project generated trips to existing traffic volumes. Existing Plus Project average daily traffic volumes are shown on Figure 20. Existing Plus Project morning and evening peak hour intersection turning movement volumes are shown on Figure 21 and Figure 22, respectively.
2. Project Completion (Existing Plus Ambient Growth Plus Project) Traffic Volumes To assess traffic conditions at project completion, ambient growth and project‐generated trips are added to existing traffic volumes. Project Completion average daily traffic volumes are shown on Figure 23. Project Completion morning and evening peak hour intersection turning movement volumes are shown on Figure 24 and Figure 25, respectively.

3. Cumulative Conditions (Existing Plus Ambient Growth Plus Project Plus Cumulative) Traffic Volumes To assess cumulative traffic conditions, existing traffic is combined with ambient growth, project generated trips, and trips generated by other development. Cumulative Conditions average daily traffic volumes are shown on Figure 26. Cumulative Conditions morning and evening peak hour intersection turning movement volumes are shown on Figure 27 and Figure 28, respectively.
4. General Plan Buildout (With Project) Traffic Volumes General Plan Buildout (With Project) traffic conditions represent full buildout of the City of Rialto according to the General Plan Land Use Element/Renaissance Specific Plan. As previously described, General Plan buildout traffic volumes are based on the traffic forecasts contained in the Renaissance Specific Plan Amendment [RSPA] Traffic Impact Analysis (LSA, 2015). General Plan Buildout (With Project) average daily traffic volumes are shown on Figure 29. General Plan Buildout (With Project) morning and evening peak hour intersection turning movement volumes are shown on Figure 30 and Figure 31, respectively.

VII. MITIGATION MEASURES AND COST ESTIMATES Improvements that will eliminate all anticipated roadway operational deficiencies throughout the study area have been identified for General Plan Buildout (With Project) traffic conditions. The improvements were determined through the operations analysis of Section VI. The approximate costs for the General Plan Buildout (With Project) improvements have either been taken from the Renaissance Specific Plan Amendment Traffic Impact Analysis or have been estimated using cost guidelines in the Congestion Management Program Handbook (see Appendix E). It should be noted that any dollar figures are rough order of magnitude estimates only. They are intended only for the discussion purposes of this traffic impact analysis, and do not imply any legal responsibility or formula for contributions or mitigation. A. Intersection Improvements
The needed intersection improvements and resulting costs are summarized in Table 13 for the study area intersections. The total cost of needed and unfunded intersection improvements for the existing roadway network is $1,037,858. The project fair share contributions have also been calculated for General Plan Buildout (With Project) intersection improvement locations. The project share of cost has been based on the proportion of project peak hour traffic contributed to the improvement location relative to the total new peak hour General Plan Buildout (With Project) traffic volume. Table 14 presents a summary of improvement cost and project cost shares at the General Plan Buildout (With Project) intersection improvement locations. The intersection fair share cost calculations are typically based on the higher of the morning and evening peak hour traffic volumes. As shown in Table 14, the project’s fair share of identified intersection costs is $68,244. As mitigation for the potential traffic impacts to intersections, the proposed project shall contribute through an adopted traffic impact fee program in addition to any fair share contributions shown within the traffic study which is not covered within this fee program.
B. Roadway Segment Improvements The needed study area roadway segment improvements and resulting costs are summarized in Table 15. The total cost of needed and unfunded intersection improvements for the existing roadway network is $140,637. The project fair share contributions have also been calculated for General Plan Buildout (With Project) roadway segment improvement locations. The project share of cost has been based on the proportion of project daily traffic contributed to the improvement location relative to the total new daily General Plan Buildout (With Project) traffic volume.

Table 15 also includes project cost shares at the General Plan Buildout (With Project) roadway segment improvements. As shown in Table 15, the project’s fair share of identified roadway segment improvement costs is $2,050. As mitigation for the potential traffic impacts to roadway segments, the proposed project shall contribute through an adopted traffic impact fee program in addition to any fair share contributions shown within the traffic study which is not covered within this fee program.

GLOSSARY OF TRANSPORTATION TERMS COMMON ABBREVIATIONS AC: Acres ADT: Average Daily Traffic Caltrans: California Department of Transportation DU: Dwelling Unit ICU: Intersection Capacity Utilization LOS: Level of Service TSF: Thousand Square Feet V/C: Volume/Capacity VMT: Vehicle Miles Traveled TERMS AVERAGE DAILY TRAFFIC: The total volume during a year divided by the number of days in a year. Usually only weekdays are included. BANDWIDTH: The number of seconds of green time available for through traffic in a signal progression. BOTTLENECK: A constriction along a travelway that limits the amount of traffic that can proceed downstream from its location. CAPACITY: The maximum number of vehicles that can be reasonably expected to pass over a given section of a lane or a roadway in a given time period. CHANNELIZATION: The separation or regulation of conflicting traffic movements into definite paths of travel by the use of pavement markings, raised islands, or other suitable means to facilitate the safe and orderly movements of both vehicles and pedestrians. CLEARANCE INTERVAL: Nearly same as yellow time. If there is an all red interval after the end of a yellow, then that is also added into the clearance
