City of Redwood City Tr( Mitigation Fee Study-Phase II Proposal-January 11, 1999 Task III. Land Use Analysis and Projections III.t Land Use Meeting We will arrange a meeting between the City and the consulting team to confirm and establish the study's planning horizon, review ABAG projections and review individual development projects with staff. The planning horizon may be limited to available regional land use projections and what is available for the C/CAG model (at least 10 to 15 years). Hausrath Economics Group will advise the City on how to modify regional land use projections for Redwood City and how to combine regional and local land use projections for modeling traffic. III.2 Refine C/CAG T AZ Svstem and Develop Land Use Input for Traffic Model The consultant will disaggregate and refine the Traffic Analysis Zone system in the C/CAG traffic model to reflect a finer resolution in Redwood City. The consultant will propose refined zone boundaries to City staff to match planning areas in the City. Hausrath Economics Group will disaggregate and allocate land use from the coarse to the finer zone system. In addition, Hausrath Economics Group will convert specific Redwood City development projections into a format that can be used in the model. The consultant will document the land use projections and model input conversion in a memorandum. Task IV. Travel Demand Forecasting The travel demand forecasting scope of work is limited to updating land use, refining the zone system and network modifications in Redwood City. If information is available, we will review the calibration and validation of C/CAG model, but we will not modify the model to correct for any inaccuracies through modification of the model or recalibration. In concert with the zone disaggregation in Task III, we will refine the model's transportation network in Redwood City to provide a finer level of resolution including additional key streets and intersections. We propose to use the C/CAG model to develop traffic growth rates and apply these rates to traffic counts reflecting the planning horizon. If we identify clear and obvious inaccuracies in the model, we will develop methods to manually adjust/correct for these inaccuracies. The traffic modeling task includes projecting traffic volumes for one peak hour, one planning horizon and one land use scenarIO . Task V. Traffic Analysis and Mitigation Measures V.l Establish Baseline Conditions We will conduct an existing conditions analysis to establish baseline conditions and identify existing deficincies. This is an important element of the fee study because GC 66000 requires that existing deficiencies be addressed differently than impacts of future growth. Existing conditions will be evaluated at up to 25 intersections and 15 roadway segments where counts are available. In addition, we will incorporate any recent traffic impact analyses into the analysis. Fehr & Peers Associates, Inc. Page 6 '. "-""""--""--'--'---r-._.'..m...........'
