SAN LEANDRO GENERAL PLAN <br />TRANSPORTATION <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />S TREETS AND H IGHWAYS <br />GOAL T-5 Improve major transportation arteries for circulation in <br />and around the city. <br />Policy T-5.1 Street Hierarchy. Maintain a hierarchy of arterial, <br />collector, and local streets which considers the different <br />volume and function of each street type. Streets should <br />be further classified based on the priority mode of travel, <br />such as bicycles, pedestrians, transit, and motor vehicles. <br />Policy T-5.2 Evaluating Development Impacts. Use vehicle miles <br />traveled (VMT) as the primary metric for evaluating the <br />transportation impacts of new development proposals. <br />Traffic impact studies may also consider the total number <br />of trips generated and the resulting impact on traffic <br />volumes and congestion (e..g., "Level of Service"), but <br />VMT shall provide the primary basis for determining <br />appropriate mitigation measures. Use vehicle miles <br />traveled (VMT) to evaluate the transportation impacts of <br />new development proposals in CEQA documents. Local <br />Transportation Impact Analysis (LTIA) studies may also <br />consider the total number of trips generated and the <br />resulting impact on traffic volumes and congestion (e.g., <br />“Level of Service”) but is not considered an <br />environmental impact. <br />Action T-5.2.A: Transportation Impacts under CEQA <br />Develop, maintain and periodically update administrative <br />guidelines to support VMT-based transportation impact <br />analysis. The guidelines may include screening criteria, <br />methodologies for calculating VMT and mitigating VMT <br />impacts, and thresholds of significance.
