City of San Leandro Proposed Guidelines for Analyzing VMT December 8, 2023 Page 9 of 12 •Substantially increase hazards due to a geometric design feature (e.g., sharp curves or dangerous intersections) or incompatible uses (e.g., farm equipment). •Result in inadequate emergency access. In addition to the CEQA topics listed above, proposed projects may need to prepare a Local Transportation Impact Analysis (LTIA), which would address traffic operations (such as LOS and queuing) at nearby intersections, access and circulation in and around the site for various travel modes, and parking. It is recommended that an LTIA be prepared for projects that generate 100 or more net new peak hour vehicle trips as estimated using the data and methodology in the latest version of the ITE Trip Generation Manual. The trip generation for development projects that would generate substantial heavy truck traffic, such as industrial and warehouse uses, should estimate the truck trips separately and convert the truck trips to passenger car equivalents (PCE) to account for trucks being larger and less maneuverable than passenger vehicles. 7. Glossary Alameda CTC Travel Demand Model. Alameda CTC maintains a travel demand model for use in producing forecasts of future transportation system usage. The current model is a four-step, trip- based model that encompasses the entire nine-county Bay Area region, with additional zonal and network detail within Alameda County. Alameda CTC maintains a detailed database of land use and demographic data that is used in the Model, based on census-tract-level forecasts prepared by the Association of Bay Area Governments (ABAG). Alameda CTC regularly updates the Model. Tables and maps showing the latest VMT metrics from the Model can be found at https://www.alamedactc.org/planning/sb743-vmt. California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA).This statute, enacted in 1970, requires identification of any significant environmental impacts due to certain state or local actions including approval of new developments or infrastructure projects. The process of identifying these impacts is typically referred to as the environmental review process. Central Planning Area. One of the four geographic subregions in Alameda County as defined by the Alameda CTC and generally comprising the Cities of San Leandro and Hayward, and the unincorporated areas of Ashland, Cherryland, San Lorenzo, and Castro Valley, as shown below.
