1. The improvement will be completed no re than one year
after completion of the project or pr ject phase for
which the traffic analysis is being erformed; and
2. The improvement is included in the/ Circulation Element
of the General Plan, and is defi d sufficiently
therein to permit an I.C.U. anal sis to be performed;
or
3. The improvement design has ben approved by the City
Council, and is defined sufficiently to permit an
I.C.U. analysis to be per f rmed.
B. Projected Capacity Increases ffrom Traffic System
Improvements: /
r'
For purposes of the traffi 'a sis, 70% of the incremental
increase in intersection qap ty (based on a capacity of
1600 vehicles per hour o en time for each full traffic
lane) shall be utilized./ Pon completion of the
improvement, traffic vogi counts shall be updated, and any
additional available M city may then be utilized in future
traffic analyses.
i
C. Traffic Volumes: i
1. Traffic volu es shall be based on up -to -date estimates
of traffic olumes expected to exist one year after
completion of the project, or portion of the project,
for which the traffic analysis is being performed.
Such estimates shall include existing traffic as
determited by annual field counts plus traffic gen-
eratedr y previously approved projects or portions of
proje is expected to exist in the same time period plus
esti ated increases in regional traffic.
If the intersection configuration being analyzed is the
u timate configuration consistent with the Circulation
ement or otherwise approved by the City Council, then
he traffic volumes used in the analysis shall include
total traffic expected to be generated from all
previously approved projects even if they will not be
completed at the time the subject project is completed.

2. The incremental regional traffic for the time period
between the date of existing counts and one year after
project completion will be estimated based on the rate
projected by the traffic model or on a growth
projection developed by the/Traffic Engineer and
approved by the Planning Commission.
3. For making the 1% test ofjII.A.2., traffic volumes
shall not be used which *eed the capacity of the
circulation system specified in the General Plan.
D. Trip Generation:
Trip generation estimates f r the project shall be based on
standard trip generation v Wes established by the City
Traffic Engineer with the pproval of the Planning
Commission or City Counci on appeal or review. These trip
generation figures may be modified only when the applicant
proposed specific, perma nt measures that will reduce
traffic generated by the project, provided that:
1. The applicant descr bes in writing, in advance of the
traffic analysis, a proposed measure, the estimated
reduction in trip eneration that will result, and the
basis for the esti ate. The estimate must be approved
by the Planning C mission or City Council on appeal or
review before the trip generation figures may be
reduced.
2. The applicant pro ides the Planning Commission with a
written assuranc that the proposed trip generation
reduction measur will be permanently implemented, and
agrees to make s id permanent implementation a
condition for pr ject approval.
E. Traffic Distribution:
Traffic distribution shall be based on the traffic network
expected to exist on year after project completion
including those portions of the network associated with •
previously approved projects or portions of projects
expected to exist at that time.
