� 5� I C'- 2 3 � SCOPE OF WORK, cont. �- Scenario 3: Project Conditions - Scenario 2 background volumes plus traffic generated by the proposed development. � Scenario 4: Cumulative Conditions — Project Conditions volumes plus traffic associated with other pending developments in the area. This scenario will include the � potential buildout remaining in the Precise Plan. Trip Generarion � Hospitals and medical office buildings have unique trip-generating characteristics that can vary even between hospital operators. In order to accurately estimate the number of vehicle trips that will be � generated by the project, this scope of work includes traffic and pazking surveys of the existing Sequoia Hospital campus, to estimate peak hour trip rates, based on the existing number of beds, building area and number of providers (i.e., doctors), as well as determine the maximum parking � demand. The resulting trip generation rates will be compazed with rates,calculated in previous studies conducted by Fehr & Peers, as well as standard Institute of Transportation Engineers (TTE) trip generarion rates. The Kaiser Redwood City EIR traffic analysis and Health Facility Planning report � will be reviewed to evaluate the applicability of those assumptions regazding hospital space planning and trip generation. Finalized trip generation estimates will be developed and submitted to City staff for review and approval, prior to conducting the traffic impact assessment. ' Project Impacts & Miti ation The impacts of the proposed project on the surrounding roadway system will be identified by comparing the results of the level of service calcularions for Background Conditions to the results for Project Conditions. For significant impacts, feasible mitigation measures will be identified to reduce impacts to a less than significant level, where possible. Measures could include physical improvements (such as adding turn lanes, installing traffic signals, or restricting turning movements), as well as methods to modify the traffic demand of the project such as reducing the size of the project, enhancing faciliries for alternative modes, and implementing Transportation Demand Management (TDM) measures. Fehr & Peers will calculate the project's impact fee for each development alternative based on the City's fee schedule. Additional contributions may be required for improvements not included in the City's fee program related to emergency vehicle access and other circulation impacts. Project impacts to the surrounding transit, bicycle, and pedestrian faciliries will be identified. The impacts of construction phasing to pedestrian circulation, traffic circulation, and parking will be evaluated, based on a phasing plan provided by the City and/or Applicant.
