It1has been stated several times in joint City/Company meetings that the sub- ject analysis is intended strictly as a guide for determining a land use plan-and will be supplanted by the final analysis when the project's EIR is formulated. While recognizing this report is not intended for public distribution, we believe that several issues and/or questions should be surfaced at this time to assure that they are recognized. We also believe that everyone should recognize that the computer traffic forecast currently being developed for the City could well change some of the "ultimate" traffic conditions on which the analysis was based. Further, the effect is expected to be particularly significant to this analysis as the trip generation rates for neighboring Fashion Island are being substantially reduced. The following is a list of the comments and questions we have on the subject analysis. Page 2 - In the "Traffic Impacts" section, it would seem that the ranges of inter- section capacity utilization for the two' intersections should be refer- enced rather than only the maximum figures. Referencing the range of impact would provide more pertinent information than limiting the data presented to a "worst case." Pages 3, As mentioned in our review of the original draft report, all references 4, 9, to "driveways" should be changed to access points. The report's current etc. terminology is misleading as to the interface with Jamboree. Pages 4 Both in the discussion of the "driveway configurations" (Page 4) and "Site and 10 Access Points" (Page 10) , much of the wording seems to indicate that only one access point on Jamboree southerly of the Santa Barbara intersection would occur. While the report specifies in two places that both of these access points could be utilized concurrently, it seems the report should be consistent in its discussions regarding this situation. Fig. 1 As discussed in the meeting to review the rough draft of this analysis, I have serious misgivings about the "estimated" average daily traffic of 1,000 vehicles per day (vpd) on Backbay Drive. This number seems high, particularly when compared to the existing daily volume of 4„000 vpd on Santa Barbara Drive easterly of Jamboree as shown on the subject figure. Keith Greer February 15, 1976 Page 2 Pg 10 in the first paragraph's discussion of the ICU calculation for the ultimate conditions, reference is made to this calculation being done using "exist- ing geometries." Checking the calculations in the Appendix, it seems to indicate that "ultimate" standard geometries were used as would be expected for ultimate conditions. This discrepancy should be resolved. Pg 11 While the discussion concerning a potential access to Backbay Drive seems to indicate that no widening- of the existing roadway will be required, a definitive statement on that subject should be made, particularly in light of the seemingly inflated existing traffic estimate for this area. Pg 11 Internal Circulation Guidelines General: It is our understanding that the listed guidelines were developed by the consultant from his background and are not necessarily representa- tive of the City of Newport Beach's development criteria. We believe it is important to note that while these guidelines will be followed where possible, cases may arise where the design may require use of City and/or other appropriate jurisdictional design criteria. The following are com- ments relating to the proposed guidelines. Guide 1: In planning of recent developments, we have utilized a minimum radius of 200' and believe that the results are quite acceptable. Guide 5: We assume the guide should read, "between 80 'and" 90 degrees." Guide 9: Although the Newport Beach standards call for a 36' roadway sec- tion in such cases, our recent planning efforts have incorporated a cross- 'section of 32' where parking will be limited to one side. The 32' section would then yield two 12' through lanes and an 8' parking area. Guide lle It appears that a correction of this guideline is necessary. It would seem (and the consultant agrees) that its intent is to provide a project access of sufficient width to allow for egress and whose entrance would be equal in width to the westbound through lanes of Santa Barbara easterly of Jamboree. As the guide is currently written, the project entrance would be much wider than practically necessary.

Findings This traffic analysis has determined the traffic impacts and led to recommen- dation of the mitigation measures discussed below, Traffic Imuacts The following traffic impacts will result from the proposed development. A. The traffic generated by the proposed development will utilize up to a maximum of 5 percent of the existing intersection capacity at San' Joa- quin Rills Road and Jamboree assuming mitigation measure A is implemented (See Table 1 for intersection capacity utilizations) . B. The traffic generated by the proposed development will utilize up to 18 percent of the existing intersection capacity at Santa Barbara and Jamboree, assuming mitigation measure A is implemented (See Table 1 for inter- section capacity utilization) . C. The site has excellent public transit service which could reduce vehicle dependence for mobility. -3- Mitigation Measures The following mitigation measures are recommended: A. An additional site access point to San Joaquin Hills Road opposite of Park Newport is not recommended because this access will in- crease the intersection capacity utilization at San Joaquin Hills Road and Jamboree (See Table 1 for intersection capacity utilization) . B. The proposed driveway on Jamboree south of Santa Barbara should be restricted to right-turn-in, right-turn-out only operation (Dis- cussed in Section 6) . C. The site access point referenced in mitigation measure B should be located approximately 1900 feet south of Santa Barbara, or between 1000 and 1100 feet south of Santa Barbara, or both (Discussed in Section 6). D. The site access point referenced in mitigation measure B should have a 275 foot acceleration lane and a 275 foot deceleration lane (Discussed in Section 6) . 2 Project Description The project location and proposed development are discussed below. Location The project is known as Newporter North and lies in the southwest quadrauL of the intersection of Jamboree and San Joaquin Mlls Road in the City of Newport Beach. The site is bounded by San Joaquin Hills Road on the north, Jamboree Road on the east, Back Bay Drive on the west, and the Newporter Inn and John Wayne Tennis Club on the south. To the east is Newport Center; and to the west is Upper Newport Bay; and to the north is Park Newport. Proposed Development Y The proposed development will consist of adult-only condominiums ? and single family homes as well as a local park primarily serving the Newporter North residents. Three levels of development have been analyzed, and each level will be referred to as an Alternate in this report. The Alternates are as follows: Alternate A - 704 Dwellings Alternate B - 440 Dwellings Alternate C - 300 Dwellings It will be assumed for each Alternate that 50 percent are condominiums dwellings and 50 percent are single family dwellings. For each Alternate, two driveway Configurations are possible. The Configura- tions are as follows: Configuration 1 - One site driveway, on Jamboree Road opposite Santa Barbara Drive and second driveway on Jamboree Road south of Santa Barbara Drive. Configuration 2 - Same as Configuration 1 plus a third driveway on San Joaquin Hills Road opposite Park Newport. 3 Existing Traffic Conditions The traffic conditions as they exist today are discussed below. Surrounding Street System The surrounding streets are Jamboree Road, San Joaquin Hills Road, Santa Barbara Drive, and Back Bay Drive. Jamboree and San Joaquin Hills Road are four lane divided roadways; Santa Barbara is six lane undivided; and Back -s- Bay Drive is a narrow two lane roadway. The intersections of Jamboree and San Joaquin Hills Road has a five phase traffic signal with separate turn phasing provided for northbound and southbound traffic. The intersection of Jamboree and Santa Barbara has a three phase traffic signal with separate turn phasing provided for southbound left turns. Existing Traffic Volumes AM and FM peak hour turning movement counts as well as daily traf- fic volumes were obtained for the streets ,in the vicinity of the project site. Appendix A shows turning movement volumes for the intersections of Jamboree and San Joaquin Hills Road, and Jamboree and Santa Barbara Drive. The daily two way traffic volumes on the surrounding streets are shown in Figure 1. Existing Intersection Capacity Utilization Using the existing traffic volumes and existing geometries, the existing Intersection Capacity Utilizations (ICU) were calculated for critical intersections. The calculations are shown in Appendix A, and an explanation of ICU and how it is calculated is contained in Appendix B. Essentially, ICU is a comprehensive measure of what part of total intersection capacity is utilized. An ICU of 0.80 or 80 percent would mean that 80 percent of the available capacity is utilized, and 0.20 or 20 percent excess capacity exists. Table 1 contains the existing ICU s, and also contains existing traffic plus project traffic ICU's which will be discussed later. A, proiccL 'Traffic The traffic volumes which will be generated by the project are discussed below. To determine project traffic, a three step process is utilized. First, the traffic volumes which will be generated by the proposed development are •deter- mined. Second, those traffic volumes are geographically distributed to major 0 FIGURE '1 • EXISTING TRAFFIC VOLUMES 40,000 +J ro 10,000 Estimated) 19,000 w San Joaquin 0 Hills Road o ' 0 28,000 (Estimated) 4 000 Santa Barbara Drive 28,000 ro A ro v P ro 0 ri P+ ro v {q N O CU ro ti Traffic Volumes and Estimates from City of Newport Beach WESTON PRINGLE AND ASSOCIATES Table 1 INTERSECTION CAPACITY UTILIZATION Intersection Capacity Utilization (Percent) Alternate Intersection Peak Existing Existing + Pro ect Traffic Volume Hour Traffic Configuration 1 Configuration 2 Volume (Two Accesses) (Three Accesses) A San Joaquin Hills Road AM 75 79 80 and Jamboree PM 82 87 89 704 Santa Barbara AM 48 60 58 Dwellings and Jamboree PM 49 67 67 B San Joaquin Hills Road AM 75 77 78 and Jamboree PM 82 84 87 440 Santa Barbara AM 48 56 58 Dwellings and Jamboree PM 49 67 67 C San Joaquin Hills Road AM 75 77 77 and Jamboree PM 82 82 85 300 Santa Barbara AM 48 56 58 Dwellings and Jamboree PM 49 67 67 -6- attractions of trips such as employment centers, commercial activities, and recreation opportunities. Third, the trips are then assigned to specific roadways and the project traffic volumes determined on a route by .route basis. Traffic Generation Trip generation is the relationship between trips made in an area and characteristics of the area such as land use, population, employment and other activity measures. The desired end product in trip generation analysis is an accurate identification and quantification of trips beginning and ending. The assumption of the stability of the relationships between trips and land use and socio-economic variables over time is basic to forecasting, and the significance of this assumption cannot be overemphasized. No matter how well the estimated relationship corresponds to the observed data today, a signifi- cant change in lifestyle, cost or availability of energy, or transit .service will alter trip generation rates. Numerous studies by the Institute of Transportation Engineers, CalTrans, City of Newport Beach, ourselves, and others have provided data concerning the traf- fic characteristics which may be expected for various classes of land use. These traffic characteristics data are related to amounts of floor area, adre- age, dwelling units, employment and other demographic characteristics which would pertain to a particular project. In this particular case, the number of dwellings allow reasonable estimates to be made of future traffic volumes. The trip generation rates were determined for daily, AM peak hour inbound, AM outbound, PM inbound, and PM outbound. In this study, AM peak hour is 8-9 AM and PM peak hour is 5-6 PM. Trip generation rates represent 'trip ends", a trip end being either the origin or destination of a journey. For example, a trip from home-to-work will have a trip end at home and a trip end at work, so that each trip has two trip ends. If ten vehicle trips are generated in the day, five vehicles arrive and five vehicles depart. Table 2 Trip Generation Time Period Trips Trips Generated by Alternate Generated A B O Per Dwelling (704' (440 (300 , Dwellings) Dwellings) Dwellings) .

It is expected that there will be about 50 percent of each type of dwelling. Normally single family dwellings generate between 8 and 13 trips per day and multi-family dwellings generate between 5 and 9 trips per day. Trip generation in Newport Beach has usually been about equal to the low end of these ranges. Thus, the 8 trips per dwelling is probably higher than will actually occur. ' By multiplying the trip generation rates by the land usage quantities, the daily AM in, AM Out, PM In, and PM Out volumes are calculated as shown in Table 2. Traffic Distribution The site has only residential and local park land uses. Virtually all home based auto trips will exit the site and go north or south on Jamboree; east on San Joaquin Hills Road to any one of several possible roads and destinations; or to Newport Center. The traffic distribution shown in Figure 2 is based upon an examination of employment, shopping, and recreational oppor- tunities which will be likely to attract project residents. Traffic Assignment Once the traffic distribution is determined the next step is to assign the trips to specific streets. This has been done in Figure 3 in which the percent of inbound and outbound traffic utilizing the intersections of Jamboree and San Joaquin 11il.ls Road, and Jamboree and Santa Barbara are shown. Project Traffic Volumes Once the traffic generation, distribution, and assignment are com- plete, calculating the project traffic is simple. This calculation is done in FIGURE 2 TRAFFIC DISTRIBUTION 40% San Joaouin Hills Road 201 Site 15% Newport ro Center �' m 5 v n 0 ro � N a � x v +' N N o 25% h Pacific Coast Highway WESTON PRINGLE AND.

The percents of, k project traffic which make each intersection movement are multiplied by the 9 AM and PM, In and Out trips generated by the project. 5. Future Traffic Conditions Future traffic volumes are determined by adding project traffic volumes to existing traffic volumes. Once future traffic volumes are determined, them future traffic conditions can be determined. Existing Plus Project Traffic Appendix A shows the existing, project, and total (existing plus project) AM and PM peak hour traffic volumes which can be expected at the intersections of San Joaquin Hills Road and Jamboree, and Santa Barbara and Jamboree, assuming 704 dwellings are constructed. Future Intersection Capacity Utilization Future intersection capacity utilization (ICU) calculations have been made for existing plus project traffic volumes and existing geome'trics at the intersections of San Joaquin Hills Road and Jamboree, and at Santa Barbara and Jamboree. The results of these calculations are shown in Table 1 and the actual calculations for 704 dwellings are in Appendix A. For 440 and 300 dwellings the corresponding ICU's are shown in Table 1, although the calculations do not appear in Appendix A. Appendix B contains an explanation of what ICU is and how it is calculated. As previously stated under "Existing Intersection Capacity Utilization", ICU is a comprehensive measure of what part of total capacity is utilized. An ICU of 0.80 or 80 percent would mean that 80 percent of the available capacity is utilized and 0.20 or 20 percent excess capacity exists. Traffic Signal Warrants Traffic signals exist today at San Joaquin Hills Road and ,Jamboree, and Santa Barbara and Jamboree. The only intersection which conceivably will warrant a traffic signal as a result of this project will be the project -9- driveway on Jamboree located south of Santa Barbara. Traffic signal warrant volumes were compared to those anticipated in this driveway and a signal will not be required regardless of which Alternate is constructed. Ultimate Traffic Conditions. Ultimate traffic conditions at ultimate build-out of the City of Newport Beach and surrounding areas have been the subject of several traffic analysis. The first two of these studies were the Drachman study and the AMV study, and both modeled daily traffic volumes on the arterial highway network. Following these studies were the Newport Center Traffic Study and Newport Center Traffic Study Phase II by Crommelin-Pringle and Associates. This study modeled peak hour traffic volumes by direction and by turning movement at ultimate development in and near Newport Center. For traffic from sources other than Newport Center, the Drachman and AMV studies were used in making an estimate of the "other" traffic. In the Newport Center Traffic Study, Phase II, the Newporter North development was included as pert of 'other" traffic, and thus the results on that study include this development's traffic contribu- tion at ultimate build-out. A study is now underway by Kimmel and Basmaciyan in which arterial highway two way volumes will be modeled by computer. This study assumes Newporter North will be 704 dwellings, each generating 11 trips per day .for a total of 7744 vehicle trips per day. This is at least 37 percent higher than will actually be generated as determined in this study and shown in Table 2. Although this project will make a very insignificant contribution to total traffic in the area, it is suggested that the five above studies be referenced if the reader wishes to examine traffic operations at ultimate build-out of all developments. -10- For the intersection of San Joaquin Hills Road and Jamboree, the .best esti- mate of ultimate traffic volumes comes from the Newport Center Traffic Study., Phase II, Appendix C, Intersection 1. When these volumes are used and an ICU performed, the resulting ICU using existing geometrics is 1.390 in the AM peak and 1.425 in the PM peak. The ICU calculation is shown in the last part of Appendix A of this report. This ICU assumes for the subject site the development allowed in the general plan which is approximately 704 dwellings at 11 trips per dwelling. Adjustment to this ICU for lower trip generation rate and lower number of dwelling units on the site in 'question will decrease the ICU as shown in Table 3. 6. On-Site Traffic Considerations Site Access Points Three possible access points exist to the project site. One is on Jamboree opposite Santa Barbara Drive; a second is on San Joaquin Hills Road opposite of Park Newport; and a third is on Jamboree south of Santa Barbara Drive. The access ,point on San Joaquin Hills Road opposite Park Newport is not recommended because it actually increases the ICU at San Joaquin Hills Road and Jamboree as shown in Table 1. These three access points were field reviewed with City of Newport Beach Traffic Engineer, and all were found to be acceptable with the following conditions regarding the driveway on Jamboree south of Santa Barbara: a. Access should be restricted to right-turn-in, right-turn-out only operation. b. Access should be located either approximately 1900 feet south of Santa Barbara at the southern edge of the property, or about 1000 to 1100 feet south of Santa Barbara at about the midpoint of the parcel, or two access points can be constructed, one at each of these two points. Table 3 ULTIMATE ICU (San Joaquin Rills Road and Jamboree) Alternate Dwellings Trips Ultimate Generation ICU per Dwelling AM PM Peak Peak (General Plan) 704 11 1.390 1.425 A 704 8 1.37 1.39 B 440 8 1.36 1.34 C 300 8 1.35 1.32 -11- c. Acceleration and deceleration lanes should be provided to -mini- mize through traffic interference. These lanes should be approximately 275 feet long. To accelerate to 45 miles per hour or slow down from 45 miles per hour, 275 feet will be required. In addition to the access points previously discussed in this report, one other access point possiblity exist. There is a possiblity of serving the 50 most southern dwellings with an access road which would run westward and connect to Back Bay Drive. If this access road should be built, the volume would be about 400 vehicles per day and about 40 vehicles in the peak hour. This volume of cars would not cause congestion on Back Bay Drive or the inter- section of Jamboree and Back Bay Drive. Internal Circulation Although the internal circulation has not been completely defined at the time of this writing, the following guides are offered: 1. Curve radii should be about 250 feet. 2. Maximum grades should not exceed 10 percent. 3. Cul-de-sac lengths should not exceed 500 to 700 feet. 4. Four-legged internal intersections should be avoided. 5. Intersections should be of a Tee type with the .angle of intersection being 80 and 90 degrees. 6. Long straight sections in excess of 300 to 500 feet should be avoided because of potential for excessive spedds. 7. Distance between intersections should be 200 feat or more,, 8. Street widths should be at least 24 feet wide to allow emer- gency vehicle access. 9. Street widths should be at least 36 feet wide where it is conceivable parking may occur on one or both sides. -12- 10. Dwellings should not have direct access onto roadways with. more than 1200 to 1500 vehicles per day. 11. For the project access road which approaches Jamboree opposite of Santa Barbara, this road should be the same width as Santa Barbara from Jamboree westward for at least 200 feet, after which point it can be transitioned to a two-lane cross section using a taper of 1 to 35 feet. 7. Other Traffic Considerations Public Transit Service The site is directly served by Orange County Transit District Bus 82 which connects the University of California at Irvine to Newport Boulevard south of Pacific Coast Highway. In addition this makes excellent connections in the vicinity of Newport Center with routes 1, 57, 61, 65, 100' 207, and 271, which include the "park-n-ride" routes. The site is well served by public transit. 40 oY d° 4c It has been a pleasure preparing this traffic impact analysis for you.

The reason for this is that the traffic flows continu- ously between intersections and only part of the time at intersections. To study intersection capacity, a technique lmown as Intersection Capacity Utiliza- tion (ICU) has been developed. ICU analysis consists of (a) determining the proportion of signal time needed to serve each conflicting movement, (b) summing the times for the movements, and (c) comparing the total time required to the time available. For example, if for north-south traffic the northbound traffic is 1,000 vehicles per hour, the southbound traffic is 800 vehicles per hour, and the capacity of either approach is 2,000 vehicles per hour of green, then the north- bound traffic is critical and requires 1,000/2,000 or 50 percent of the signal time. If for the east-west traffic, 40 percent of the signal time is required, then it can be seen that the ICU is 50 plus 40, or 90 percent. When left-turn phases exist, they are incorporated into the analysis. As ICU's approach 100 percent, the quality of traffic service approaches Level of Service E, as defined in the Highway Capacity Manual, Special Report 87, Highway Research Board, 1965. Level of Service is used to describe quality of traffic flow. Levels of Service A to C operate quite well. Level of Service D is typically the Level of Service for which an urban street is designed. Level of Service E is the maximum volume a facility can accommodate and will result in possible stoppages of momentary duration. Level of Service F occurs when a facility is overloaded and is char- acterized by stop-and-go traffic with stoppages of long duration. A description of the various levels of service appears on the following page. The ICU calculations assume that an intersection is signalized and that the signal is ideally timed. Although calculating ICU for an unsignalized inter- section is not valid, the presumption is that a signal can be installed and the calculation shows whether the geometries are capable of accommodating the ex- pected volume. It is possible to have an ICU well below 1.0, yet have severe traffic congestion. This would occur because one or more movements is not getting enough time to satisfy its demand with excess time existing on other moves. Capacity is often defined in terms of roadway width. However, standard lanes have approximately the same capacity whether they are 11 foot or 14 foot lanes. Our data indicates a typical lane, whether a through lane or left-turn lane has a capacity of approximately 1600 vehicles per lane per hour of green time. The Highway Capacity Manual found capacity to be about 1500 vehicles per lane lanes and 1200 vehicles per lane per hour of green per hour of green for through for left-turn lanes. However, the capacity manual is based on pre-1965 data, and recent studies and observations show higher capacities in the southern California area. For this study a capacity of 1600 vehicles per lane has been assumed for through traffic, and 1600 vehicles per lane for turning lanes. kr��WpORr , CITY OF NEWPORT BEACH U Z �41JZ0 January 4 , 1978 C .

Findings This traffic analysis has determined the traffic impacts and led to recommen- dation of the mitigation measures discussed below. Traffic Impacts The following traffic impacts will result from the proposed development. A. The traffic generated by the proposed development will utilize up to a maximum of 5 percent of the existing intersection capacity at San Joa- quin Hills Road and Jamboree assuming mitigation measure A is implemented (See Table 1 for intersection capacity utilizations) . B. The traffic generated by the proposed development will utilize up to 18 percent of the existing intersection capacity at Santa Barbara and Jamboree, assuming mitigation measure A is implemented (See 'Table 1 for inter- section capacity utilization). C. The site has excellent public transit service which could reduce vehicle dependence for mobility. -3- Mitigation Measures The following mitigation measures are recommended: A. An additional site access point to San Joaquin Hills Road opposite of Park Newport is not recommended because this access will in- crease the intersection capacity utilization at San Joaquin Hills Road and Jamboree (See Table 1 for intersection capacity utilization) . B. The proposed driveway on Jamboree south of Santa Barbara should be restricted to right-turn-in, right-turn-out only operation (Dis- cussed in Section 6) . C. The driveway referenced in mitigation measure B should be located approximately 1900 feet south of Santa Barbara, or between 1000 and 1100 feet south of Santa Barbara (Discussed in Section 6) . D. The driveway referenced in mitigation measure B should have a 410 foot acceleration lane and a 410 foot deceleration lane (Discussed in Section 6). 2, Project Description The project location and proposed development are discussed below. Location The project is known as Newporter North and lies in the southwest quadrant of the intersection of Jamboree and San Joaquin Hills Road in the City of Newport- Beach. The site is bounded by San Joaquin Hills Road on the north, Jamboree Road on the east, Back Bay Drive on the west, and the Newporter Inn and John Wayne Tennis Club on the south. To the east is Newport Center; and to the west is Upper Newport Bay; and to the north is Park Newport. • =4- Proposed Development The proposed development will consist of condominiums and single family homes as well as a local park primarily serving the Newporter North residents. Three levels of development have been analyzed, and each level will be referred to as an Alternate in this report. The Alternates are as follows: Alternate A - 704 Dwellings Alternate B - 440 Dwellings Alternate C - 300 Dwellings It will be assumed for each Alternate that 50 percent are condominiums dwellings and 50 percent are single family dwellings. For each Alternate, two driveway Configurations are possible, The Configura- tions are as follows: Configuration 1 - One site driveway on Jamboree Road opposite Santa Barbara Drive and second driveway on Jamboree Road south of Santa Barbara Drive. Configuration 2 - Same as Configuration 1 plus a third driveway on San Joaquin Hills Road opposite Park Newport. 3 Existing Traffic Conditions The traffic conditions as they exist today are discussed below. Surrounding v Street System , The surrounding streets are Jamboree Road, San Joaquin Hills Road, Santa Barbara Drive, and Back Bay Drive. Jamboree and San Joaquin Hills Road are four lane divided roadways; Santa Barbara is six lane undivided; and Back Bay Drive is a narrow two lane roadway. The intersections of Jamboree and San Joaquin Hills Road has a five phase traffic signal with separate turn phasing provided for northbound and southbound traffic. The intersection of Jamboree and Santa Barbara has a three phase traffic signal with separate turn phasing provided for southbound left turns. Existing Traffic Volumes AM and FM peak hour turning movement counts as well as daily traf- fic volumes were obtained for the streets-in the vicinity of the project site. Appendix A shows turning movement volumes for the intersections of Jamboree and San Joaquin Hills Road, and Jamboree and Santa Barbara Drive. The daily two way traffic volumes on the surrounding streets are shown in Figure 1. Existing Intersection Capacity Utilization Using the existing traffic volumes and existing geometries, the existing Intersection Capacity Utilizations (ICU) were calculated for critical intersections, assuming 704 dwellings are constructed. The calculations are shown in Appendix A, and an explanation of ICU and how it is calculated is con- tained in Appendix B. Essentially, ICU is a comprehensive measure of what part of total intersection capacity is utilized. An ICU of 0.80 or 80 percent would mean that 80 percent of the available capacity is utilized, and 0.20 or 20 per, cent excess capacity exists. Table 1 contains the existing IOU's, and also contains existing traffic plus project traffic ICU's which will be discussed later. 4. Project Traffic The traffic volumes which will be generated by the project are discussed below. To determine project traffic, a three step process is utilized. First, the traffic volumes which will be generated by the proposed development are deter- mined . Second, those traffic volumes are geographically distributed to major • FIGURE '1 • EXISTING TRAFFIC VOLUME'S b 40,000 a m �O Estimated) 19,000' w San Joaquin Hills Road 0 0 C r 28,000 (Estimated) az) 42,000 Santa Barbara Drive 28,000 m . a m o ca m U u m v N 0 6 m h ' Traffic Volumes and Estimates from City of Newport Beach WESTON PRINGLE AND ASSOCIATES Table 1 INTERSECTION CAPACITY UTILIZATION If 704 Dwellings Constructed Intersection Capacity Utilization (Percent) Intersection Peak Existing Existing + Project Traffic Volume Hour Traffic Configuration 1 Configuration 2 Volume (Two Accesses) (Three Accesses) San Joaquin Hills Road AM 75 79 80 and Jamboree PM 82 87 89 Santa Barbara AM 48 60 58 and Jamboree PM 49 67 67 -6- attractions of trips such as employment centers, commercial activities, and recreation opportunities. Third, the trips are then assigned to specific roadways and the project traffic volumes determined on a route by route basis. Traffic Generation Trip generation is the relationship between trips made in an area and characteristics of the area such as land use, population, employment and other activity measures. The desired end product in trip generation analysis is an accurate identification and quantification of trips beginning and ending. The assumption of the stability of the relationships between trips and land use and socio-economic variables over time is basic to forecasting, and the significance of this assumption cannot be overemphasised. No matter how well the estimated relationship corresponds to the observed data today, a signifi- cant change in lifestyle, cost or availability of energy, or transit service will alter trip generation rates. Numerous studies by the Institute of Transportation Engineers, Ca 1Trans, City of Newport Beach, ourselves, and others have provided data concerning the traf- fic characteristics which may be expected for various classes of land use. These traffic characteristics data are related to amounts of floor area, acre- age, dwelling units, employment and other demographic characteristics which would pertain to a particular project. In this particular case, the number of dwellings allow reasonable estimates to be made of future traffic volumes. The trip generation rates were determined for daily, AM peak hour inbound, AM outbound, PM inbound, and PM outbound. In this study, AM peak hour is 8-9 AM and PM peak hour is 5-6 PM. Trip generation rates represent "trip ends", a trip end being either the origin or destination of a journey. For example, a trip from home-to-work will have a trip end at home and a trip end at work, so that each trip has two trip ends. If ten vehicle trips are generated in the day, five vehicles arrive and five vehicles depart.

It is expected that there will be about 50 percent of each type of dwelling. Normally single family dwellings generate between 8 and 13 trips per day and multi-family dwellings generate between 5 and 9 trips per day. Trip generation in Newport Beach has usually been about equal to the low end of these ranges. Thus, the 8 trips per dwelling is probably higher than will actually occur. By multiplying the trip generation rates by the land usage quantities, the daily AM in, AM Out, PM In, and PM Out volumes are calculated as shown in Table 2. Traffic Distribution The site has only residential and local park land uses. Virtually all home based auto trips will exit the site and go north or south on Jamboree; east on San Joaquin ❑ills Road to any one of several possible roads and destinations; or to Newport Center. The traffic distribution shown in Figure 2 is based upon an examination of employment, shopping, and recreational oppor- tunities which will be likely to attract project residents. Traffic Assignment Once the traffic distribution is determined the next step is to assign the trips to specific streets. This has been done in Figure 3 in which the percent of inbound and outbound traffic utilizing the intersections of Jamboree and San Joaquin Hills Road, and Jamboree and Santa Barbara are shown. Project Traffic Volumes Once the traffic generation, distribution, and assignment are com- plete, calculating the project traffic is simple. This calculation is done in FIGURE 2 TRAFFIC DISTRIBUTION 407 San Joaquin i Hills Road 20% Site 15% { Newport ro Center P P m ti 0 v PQ 0 s a J 4 w � v 6 0 u TO 25% ti Pacific Coast Highway WESTON PRINGLE AND ASSOCIATES • FIGURF- 3 TRIP ASSIGNMENT 40% 40% L� L L� L 25% 65 65° 10% 95% 10% 85% Site Site 10 ° 5% 15% Inbound Outbound Configuration 1 25% Configuration 1 25% 40% 40% .

The percents of project traffic which make each intersection movement are multiplied by the AM and PM, In and Out trips generated by the project. 5. Future Traffic Conditions Future traffic volumes are determined by adding project traffic volumes to existing traffic volumes. Once future traffic volumes are determined, then future traffic conditions can be determined. Existing Plus Project Traffic Appendix A shows the existing, project, and total (existing plus project) AM and PM peak hour traffic volumes which can be expected at the intersections of San Joaquin Hills Road and Jamboree, and Santa Barbara and Jamboree. Future Intersection Capacity Utilization Future intersection capacity utilization (ICU) calculations have P p Y been made for existing plus project traffic volumes and existing geometries at the intersections of San Joaquin Hills Road and Jamboree, and at Santa Barbara and Jamboree. The results of these calculations are shown in Table 1 and the actual calculations are in Appendix A. Appendix B contains an explanation of what ICU is and how it is calculated. As previously stated under "Existing Intersection Capacity Utilization", ICU is' a comprehensive measure of what part of total capacity is utilized. An ICU of 0.80 or 80 percent would mean that 80 percent of the available capacity is utilized, and 0.20 or 20 percent excess capacity exists. Traffic Signal Warrants Traffic signals exist today at San Joaquin Hills Road and Jamboree, and Santa Barbara and Jamboree. The only intersection which conceivably will warrant a traffic signal as a result of this project will be the project -9- driveway on Jamboree located south of Santa Barbara. Traffic signal warrant, volumes were compared to those anticipated in this driveway and a signal will not be required regardless of which Alternate is constructed. Ultimate Traffic Conditions. Ultimate traffic conditions at ultimate build-out of the City of Newport Beach and surrounding areas have been the subject of several traffic analysis. The first two of these studies were the Drachman study and the AMV study, and both modeled daily traffic volumes on the arterial highway network. Following these studies were the Newport Center Traffic Study and Newport Center Traffic Study, Phase II by Crommelin-Pringle and Associates. This study modeled peak hour traffic volumes by direction and by turning movement at ultimate development in and near Newport Center. For traffic from sources other than Newport Center, the Drachman and AMV studies were used in making an estimate of the 'other" traffic. In the Newport Center Traffic Study, Phase II, the Newporter North development was included as part of 'other" traffic, and thus the results on that study include this development's traffic contribu- tion at ultimate build-out. A study is now underway by Kimmel and Basmaciyan in which arterial highway two way volumes will be modeled by computer. This study assumes Newporter North will be 704 dwellings, each generating 11 trips per day for a total of 7744 vehicle trips per day. This is at least 37 percent higher than will actually be generated as determined in this study and shown in Table 2. Although this project will make a very insignificant contribution to total traffic in the area, it is suggested that the five above studies be referenced if the reader wishes to examine traffic operations at ultimate build-out of all developments. -10- 6. On-Site Traffic Considerations Site Access Points Three possible access points exist to the project site. One is on Jamboree opposite Santa Barbara Drive; a second is on San Joaquin .Hill;s, Road opposite of Park Newport; and a third is on Jamboree south of Santa Barbara Drive. These three access points were field reviewed with the City of Newport Beach' Traffic Engineer, and all were found to be acceptable with the following copdi- tions regarding the driveway on Jamboree south of Santa Barbara: a. Driveway should be restricted to right-turn-in, right-turn-out only operation. b. Driveway should be located either approximately 1900 feet south of Santa Barbara at the southern edge of the property, or about WOO to 1100 feet south of Santa Barbara at about the midpoint of the parcel. c. Acceleration and deceleration lanes should be provided to mini- mize through traffic interference. . These lanes should be approximately 410 feet long. Comfortable acceleration and deceleration rates are 8 feet per second. To accelerate to 55 miles per hour or slow down from 55 miles per hour, 410 feet will be required. 7. Other Traffic Considerations Public Transit Service The site is directly served by Orange County Transit District Bus 82 which connects the University of California at Irvine to Newport Boulevard south of Pacific Coast Highway. In addition this makes excellent connections in the vicinity of Newport Center with routes 1, 57, 61, 65, 100, 207, and " " site 'is well served b public 271, which include the park-n-ride routes.

The reason for this is that the traffic flows continu- ously between intersections and only part of the time at intersections. To study intersection capacity, a technique known as Intersection Capacity Utiliza- tion (ICU) has been developed. ICU analysis consists of (a) determining the proportion of signal time needed to serve each conflicting movement, (b) summing the times for the movements, and (c) comparing the total time required to the time available. For example, if for north-south traffic the northbound traffic is 1,000 vehicles per hour, the southbound traffic is 800 vehicles per hour, and the capacity of either approach is 2,000 vehicles per hour of green, then the north- bound traffic is critical and requires 1,000/2,000 or 50 percent of the signal time. If for the east-west traffic, 40 percent of the signal time is required, then it can be seen that the ICU is 50 plus 40, or 90 percent. When left-turn phases exist, they are incorporated into the analysis.- As ICU's approach 100 percent, the quality of traffic service approaches Level of Service E, as defined in the Highway Capacity Manual, Special Report 87, Highway Research Board, 1965. Level of Service is used to describe quality of traffic flow. Levels of Service A to C operate quite well. Level of Service D is typically the Level of Service for which an urban street is designed. Level of Service E is the maximum volume a facility can accommodate and will result in possible stoppages of momentary duration. Level of Service F occurs when a facility is overloaded and is char- acterized by stop-and-go traffic with stoppages of long duration. A description of the various levels of service appears on the following page. The ICU calculations assume that an intersection is signalized and that the signal is ideally timed. Although calculating ICU for an unsignalized inter- section is not valid, the presumption is that a signal can be installed and the calculation shows whether the geometries are capable of accommodating the ex- pected volume. it is possible to have an ICU well below 1.0, yet have severe traffic congestion. This would occur because one or more movements is not getting enough time to satisfy its demand with excess time existing on other moves. Capacity is often defined in terms of roadway width. However, standard lanes have approximately the same capacity whether they are 11 foot or 14 foot lanes. e e through Our data indicates a typical lane, whether a h lane or left-turn lane g e time lc per lane per hour of green aacit of approximately 1600 vehicles p p g has a cp y PP Y c' to be about 1500 vehicles per lane The Hi hwa Ca acit Manual found capacity Q y p v per hour of green for through 'lanes and 1200 vehicles per lane per hour of green for left-turn lanes. However, the capacity manual is based on pre-1965 data, and recent studies and observations show higher capacities in the southern California area. For this study a capacity of 1600 vehicles per lane has been assumed for through traffic, and 1600 vehicles per lane for turning lanes. LEVEL OF SERVICE DESCRIPTIONS Level of Traffic Quality Nominal Range Service of ICU (a) A Low volumes; high speeds; speed not restricted by other vehicles; all signal cycles clear with 0.00 - 0.60 no vehicles waiting through more than one signal cycle. B Operating speeds beginning to be affected by other traffic; between one and ten percent of 0.60 - 0.70 the signal cycles have one or more vehicles which wait through more than one signal cycle during peak traffic periods. C Operating speeds and maneuverability closely controlled by other traffic; between 11 and 30 percent of the signal cycles have one or more 0.70 - 0.80 vehicles which wait through more than one signal cycle during peak traffic periods; recommended ideal design standard, D Tolerable operating speeds; 31 to 70 percent of the signal cycles have one or more vehicles which wait through more than one signal cycle 0.80 - 0.90 during peak traffic periods; often used as design standard in urban areas. E Capacity; the maximum traffic volume an ,inter- section can accommodate; restricted speeds; 71 to 100 percent of the signal cycles have' one or 0.90 - 1.00 more vehicles which wait through more than one signal cycle during peak traffic periods. F Long queues of traffic; unstable flow; stoppages of long duration; traffic volume and traffic speed can drop to zero; traffic volume willlbe Not Meaningful less than the volume which occurs at Level of Service E.

Main Tustin, California 92680 w N Dear Mr. Wright: We are pleased to submit this proposal to provide pro£essional .engineering ser- vices relative to the Newport North EIR. This proposal is based upon my dis- cussions with you and Bill Darnell and the letter and proposed scope of work from Beverly Wood of November 21, 1977: The work would consist of Phase II of the EIR contract for the project. A report- covering Phase I of the analysis was prepared in May, 1976, and identified traffic related constraints. This phase would involve the analysis of several specific concerns expressed both by The Irvine Company and City of Newport Beach. The re- sults would provide guidance in the development of a plan for the site. We would envision the following specific tasks to be required for this Phase: TASK I - DATA REVIEW We would assemble and review all pertinent studies and reports that have been completed since our previous analysis. This would include our "Newport Center Traffic Study, Phase II", traffic signal spacing studies on Jamboree and similar data. Traffic volume data would be updated from counts taken by the City and others. No additional field data collection is anticipated. Discussions would be held with the consultants preparing the City traffic model to obtain input and insure compatibility. It is understood that a conceptual master plan for the site would be made avail- able. 2651 EAST CHAPMAN AVENUE • SUITE 110 • FULLERTON, CALIFORNIA 92631 9 (714) 871-2931 -z- TASK II - TRIP GENERATION AND DISTRIBUTION Estimates would be made of daily and peak hour traffic volumes from the site for the three land use alternatives - General Plan permitted density, medium density and low density. These would be based upon factors accept- able to the City. The geographic distribution of these trips would be developed to correspond to the City's traffic model. This distribution would be utilized in developing traffic assignments for each land use alternative. TASK III - ACCESS ANALYSIS The analysis of access potentials contained in the Phase I report would be updated to reflect current conditions and policies. Consideration would be given to the conceptual plan for the site and its relationship to access. The potential -traffic impacts upon the intersections on Jamboree at San Joaquin Hills and Santa Barbara would also be considered. Potential full and limited access points would be identified. 14JCWoJW- C-,WpG{ C6 Of: AcGCL'SsS POJNT5 TASK IV - TRAFFIC ANALYSIS Traffic assignments would be developed for the three alternate land use plans with consideration to the results of Task M. Volume/capacity comparisons would be made at the two major intersections on Jamboree as well as others in the immediate vicinity of the site. Modification to existing and provision of additional facilities would be developed for each alternative. A review would be made of on-site traffic needs in- cluding street widths. All data would be compatible with input require- ments of the City traffic model. TASK V - REPORT AND MEETINGS A report would be prepared summarizing our •findings and recommendations. The report would contain the required supportive data and be suitable for use by the City and The Irvine Company in finalizing plans for the -3- • 5 site. It is not anticipated that formal presentations to the Planning Commission or City Council would be a part of this work. We would meet with representatives of the City'and The Irvine Company.as required dur- ing the course of the study and to review our recommendations. We are prepared to begin work on this study upon receipt of authorization. It is anticipated that approximately four (4) weeks would be required to complete the work and prepare a draft report for review. Our fee for the work outlined in this proposal shall be based upon personnel charges plus direct expenses as indicated in our Standard Rate Schedule, a copy of which is attached and made a part hereto. In no case will the total fee exceed $3,000.00 without prior approval from you or your representative.

Wright 011 0,4�cr', Westec Services, Inc. NEWpCp�tn j 180 E. Main Tustin, California 92680 Dear Mr. Wright: We are pleased to submit this propos&l to provide professional engineering ser- vices relative to the Newport North EIR. This proposal is based upon my dis- cussions with you and Bill Darnell and the letter and proposed scope of work from Beverly Wood of November 21, 1977: The work would consist of Phase II of the EIR contract for the project. A report covering Phase I of the analysis was prepared in May, 1976, and identified traffic related constraints. This phase would involve the analysis of several specific concerns expressed both by The Irvine Company and City of Newport Beach. The re- sults would provide guidance in the development of a plan for the site. We would envision the following specific tasks to be rqquired for this Phase: TASK I - DATA REVIEW We would assemble and review all pertinent studies and reports that have been completed since our previous analysis. This would include our 'Newport Center Traffic Study, Phase' II", traffic signal spacing studies on Jamboree and similar data. Traffic volume data would be updated from counts taken by the City and others. No additional field data collection is anticipated. Discussions would be held with the consultants preparing the City traffic model to obtain input and insure compatibility. It is understood that a conceptual master plan for the site would be made avail- able. 2651 EAST CHAPMAN AVENUE • SUITE 110 • FULLERTON, CALIFORNIA 92631 • (714) 871-2931 TASK II - TRIP GENERATION AND DISTRIBUTION Estimates would be made of daily and peak hour traffic volumes from the site for the three land use alternatives - General Plan permitted density, medium density and low density. These would be based upon factors accept- able to the City. The geographic distribution of these trips would be developed to correspond to the Cityls traffic model. This distribution would be utilized in developing traffic assignments for each land use alternative. TASK III - ACCESS ANALYSIS The analysis of access potentials contained in the Phase I report would be updated to reflect current conditions and policies. Consideration would be given to the conceptual plan for the site and its relationship to access. The potential traffic impacts upon the intersections on Jamboree at San Joaquin Hills and Santa Barbara would also be considered. Potential full and limited access points would be identified. TASK IV - TRAFFIC ANALYSIS Traffic assignments would be developed for the three alternate land use plans with consideration to the results of Task It. Volume/capacity comparisons would be made at the two major intersections on Jamboree as well as others in the immediate vicinity of the site. Moddfication to existing and provision of additional facilities would be developed for each alternative. A review would be made of on-site traffic needs in- cluding street widths. All data would be compatible with input require- ments of the City traffic model. TASK V - REPORT AND MEETINGS A report would be prepared summarizing our di.ndings and recommendations. The report would contain the required supportive data dnd be suitable for use by the City and The Irvine Company in finalizing plans for the • • -3- site. It is not anticipated that formal presentations to the Planning Commission or City Council would be a part of this work. We would meet with representatives of the City and The Irvine Company as required dur- ing the course of the study and to review our recommendations. We are prepared to begin work on this study upon receipt of authorization. It is anticipated that approximately four (4) weeks would be required to complete the work and prepare a draft report for review. Our fee for the work outlined in this proposal shall be based upon personnel charges plus direct expenses as indicated in our Standard Rate Schedule, a copy of which is attached and made a part hereto. In no case will the total fee exceed $3,000.00 without prior approval from you or your representative. Since it is not possible at this time to estimate the time required for additional meetings and/or presenta- tions concerning this project not mentioned in this proposal, our staff will be available with the fee basdd upon our Rate Schedule in addition to the previously stated maximum. The additional work shall be conducted when requested by you or your rppresentative. This letter can serve as a memorandum of agreement and our authorization to procedd.
