Coultrup Coultrup Development Company 13001 Seal Beach Blvd, Suite 300 Seal Beach, CA 90740 July 11, 1990 Subject: Bay Club Phase II (Your Project D-1444) Dear Mr. Coultrup: This letter report is submitted to provide the traffic information necessary for the City of Huntington Beach to process an application for a general plan amendment for your project on Warmer Avenue at Sceptre Lane . A traffic study was previously complett:-.d for the sits as a portion of a completed Environmental Impact Report (EIR). The purpose of this study is to verify that the proposed project will generate no more traffic than the project studied in the EIR. The proposed project is the construction of 19 attached, dwelling units on a site of approximately 2.5 acres, net. Access to the project is proposed off Sceptre Lane, 200 feet north of Warner Avenue. All site traffic will use Sceptre Lane to access Warner Avenue. Warner Avenue provides regional access to the project site and currently carries approximately 25,000 daily vehicles in the project vicinity. The property site previously included a restaurant/lounge/banquet facility. A general plan change is pending to allow the proposed project. Traffic Generation Traffic Generation is the number of vehicle trips which will be generated by the project. These trips would be measured as traffic on the project driveway and on Sceptre Street. Traffic Generation is forecast by utilizing the. generation rates compiled in the Institute of Transportation Engineers publication, Tri Generation 4th Edition, published in 1987.. The appropriate land use category is residential condominium. While the units can be considered to be single-family detached housing, inspection of the site plan 1833 Fit Seventeenth Street, Suite/I!, Santa Ana, CA 92 70I FAX (714) 836-5745 TEL. (714) 541-2054 U /,--/® Rock E. Miller & Associates K.C. Coultrup Page 2 confirms that the development is similar to a town-house or condominium development. There is not sufficient setback for parking on driveways in front of garages, and guest parking is offered in designated areas. Table 1 indicates the traffic generation factors utilized and calculates the total traffic generation for the proposed project. Com arison to General Plan Amendment 82-1 The traffic generation for the project analyzed in the previous general plan amendment was 385 trips. The proposed project will generate 160 trips compared while the first phase of the project, now under construction will generate 273 trips. The total project generation is thus 433 trips. An increase of 48 trips is thus forecast over the volume suggested in the previous general plan amendment. The previous development on the site was a banquet facility occupyinf about 9000 sq. ft of floor space. The facility was not used on a continuous daily basis, but its usage would most closely parallel a high quality restaurant, in terms of traffic generatioin. Application of a restaurant generation rate would suggest that the site generated over 900 trips per day, on days when the facility was being used. The proposed development will generate approximately 740 trips less than the previous banquet facility use. At the same time, the Phase I and Phase II project will generate only 48 daily trips more than the level forecast in 1982 for Phase I alone. Conclusion The proposed development of 19 dwelling units will generate 160 daily trips to and from the site. This level of traffic is considered to be negligible, amounting to less than one percent of the traffic level now existing on Warner Avenue adjacent to the project site. This volume of traffic will not cause any traffic impact at any location. The proposal is essentially comparable in traffic generation to the land uses proposed in the 1982 General Plan Amendment. 1833 East Seventeenth Street, Suite 111, SantaAna, CA92701 FAX (714) 836-5745 TEL.
