McDONALD'S INITIAL TRAFFIC IMPACT EVALUATION - STATUS REPORT
BACKGROUND INFORMATION
In an effort to gain City permission to begin processing a general plan amendment
that would permit development of a commercial center on the northeast corner of
New Los Angeles Avenue - Spring Road, the McDonald's Corporation submitted a
traffic study for City review. The purpose of the study was to address the
feasibility of identifying mitigation measures that would more than offset
project impacts. If it was concluded that such mitigation measures could be
identified, McDonald's hoped that the City would permit initiation of general
plan amendment processing for their project.
The traffic study submitted was apparently intended to represent no more than an
overview analysis of potential traffic impacts and mitigation measure
effectiveness. It included project traffic generation, cumulative project
evaluation, and conceptual geometries for restriping of the Spring Road - New Los
Angeles Avenue intersection. However, it lacked a project site plan, supporting
calculations, traffic count data, and a list of the cumulative projects
evaluated.
The conceptual geometries proposed in the study are very similar to those which
were designed and submitted for CalTrans approval in conjunction with development
of PD -1064 (Topa) . Due to CalTrans' previous concerns regarding this
intersection, however, we believe that they should be involved at the conceptual
design stage to determine what geometries CalTrans will require.

In summary, the intended purpose of the study was not to exhaustively analyze
project traffic impacts, but rather to demonstrate the likelihood that successful
mitigation measures could be identified. To accomplish this, it will be
necessary to make technical revisions to the trip generation and traffic
assignment assumptions and gain CalTrans conceptual approval of intersection
geometrics. The developer has been informed of this requirement, and we have
been informed that a meeting with Call-rans has been held to discuss conceptual
geometric design.
