Engineer regarding the circulation plan for the project and trip generation
rates that are based engineering standards for the types of proposed land
uses, analyzing the project and other projects planned to calculate
cumulative impacts; how the direction of travel is analyzed by the traffic
model; how the traffic model analyzes the Gabbert Road railroad crossing
and how impacts differed based on increasing the number of trips leaving

counts are considered to account for trips coming from various locations,
and an ambient growth rate is also applied to anticipate regional growth; it
was noted that a third party consultant also reviewed and validated the
traffic study numbers; discussion of VCTC’s EIR comment regarding the
vehicle miles traveled (VMT) calculation noting VCTC’s VMT analysis
methodology was not developed when the traffic analysis was prepared; a
supplemental analysis of trips that would use Metrolink for transportation
and a more conservation assumption was applied; the traffic study used
the existing conditions to analyze the Casey Road and Walnut Canyon
Road location; Mr. Brown commented the traffic study was reviewed by
Union Pacific Railroad and Metrolink and there was no trigger for an
improvement to the Gabbert Road railroad crossing; Mr. Brown further
commented, if the Gabbert Road railroad crossing is a priority for the

project; 8) although there is no direct nexus to require the improvement,

to the cost of the design and construction of the improvements to the intersection
of Gabbert Road and the Union Pacific Railroad crossing by paying the City
$500,000 no later than final inspection of the 200th dwelling unit within the
project. Such funds shall be deposited by the City into the City’s Traffic
Mitigation fund of the City to be used, in conjunction with other funds to be
collected by the City for purpose of widening and making other improvements to
that intersection to improve vehicular and pedestrian traffic flow through that
intersection.”
