6 I. INTRODUCTION This report documents the results of a traffic study conducted by Kaku Associates, Inc. to evaluate the potential traffic impacts and circulation needs of the proposed Villa Marina Residential project (project in the City of Los Angeles, California. This study is designed to become an integral element of an environmental document being prepared to evaluate the orall impacts of this project. It includes a description of the assumptions and methods used to conduct the study as well as a discussion of the results. PROJECT DESCRIPTION The project is proposed on an existing 4.04-acre site (Villa Marina Marketplace shopping center currently containing 30,000 square feet of commercial and retail uses housed in fi buildings. The remaining portions of the existing site are pad and used for business patron and employee parking. The proposed project includes demolition of the existing structures and construction of a planned, landscaped residential community consisting of 30 condominium units, a 9,000 square feet commercial space, and associated parking and amenities. The planned residential community would consist of a proposed mix of 60 one-bedroom, 90 two-bedroom, and 60 threebedroom units. Of these, 0% of the total units would be set aside as affordable housing. This project also includes residential amenities including a community meeting room, a swimming pool and/or spa, and an exercise room. Additionally, the project s 9,000 square feet commercial component would be deloped in two spaces consisting of 5,000 and 4,000 square feet, that may be occupied by a florist, café, and/or copy services. The project would ha frontages on both Maxella Anue and State Route (Lincoln Boulevard. Parking for the residents and business patrons would be deloped in a mix of one-lel subterranean, second-lel podium, and surface lel spaces with capacity for up to 69 hicles. Of this total, 60 parking spaces would be available to project residents, 3 spaces for guests, and the remaining 40 spaces for retail uses. Ingress and egress for residential and business

7 patrons, as well as deliry hicles, is proposed via Maxella Anue. Residents would ha access into the resident only parking via secure garage gates. The project site is located approximately.5 miles southwest of downtown Los Angeles and.5 miles south of Santa Monica in the Palms-Mar Vista-Del Rey community of west Los Angeles, as illustrated in Figure. It is located within the California Coastal Zone, approximately 0. miles inland from the northeastern edge of Marina Del Rey. Figure illustrates the site plan for the project, which is bordered by Lincoln Boulevard on the west, State Route 90 (Marina Freeway on the south, Maxella Anue on the north, and Glencoe Anue on the east. Existing high density, multifamily dwelling units are situated to the west across Lincoln Boulevard north and south of the western terminus of Maxella Anue. Across Maxella Anue to the north are a small retail shopping center and a portion of the Marina Marketplace shopping center. Additionally, multifamily housing is located approximately 950 feet east of the project site on the east side of Glencoe Anue. Existing delopment to the northwest includes a Union 76 service station and general commercial/hotel uses are situated to the east. STUDY SCOPE The scope of analysis for this study was deloped in conjunction with the City of Los Angeles Department of Transportation (LADOT. The base assumptions, technical methodologies, and study area were identified as part of the jointly deloped study approach. Traffic impact study to evaluate the potential for impacts caused by the Villa Marina Residential project include an analysis of the following traffic scenarios: Existing (004 Conditions - The analysis of existing traffic conditions is intended to provide a basis for the remainder of the study. The existing conditions analysis includes an assessment of streets, traffic volumes, and operating conditions. Cumulati Base Conditions - Future traffic conditions are projected for the year 008 without the proposed project. The objecti of this analysis is to forecast the future traffic growth and intersection operating conditions expected to result from general regional growth and specific related projects deloped in the vicinity of the project site by the year 008. This scenario is used as the baseline against which potential project traffic impacts are evaluated.

16 Lel of Service Methodology Lel of service (LOS is a qualitati measure used to describe the condition of traffic flow, ranging from excellent conditions at LOS A to orloaded conditions at LOS F. LOS D is typically considered to be the minimum acceptable lel of service in urban areas. LADOT requires that the "Critical Moment Analysis" (CMA method (Transportation Research Board, 980 of intersection capacity analysis be used to determine the intersection volume to capacity (V/C ratio and corresponding lel of service for the gin turning moments and intersection characteristics at signalized intersections. The CALCADB software package deloped by LADOT was used to implement the CMA methodology in this study. Table defines the ranges of V/C ratios and their corresponding lels of service using the CMA method. All of the study intersections are currently signalized and controlled by the City of Los Angeles Mar Vista Automated Traffic Surillance and Control (ATSAC system. In accordance with LADOT procedures, a capacity increase of 7% (0.07 V/C adjustment was applied to reflect the benefits of ATSAC control at these intersections. Analysis of future traffic conditions in the 008 buildout year also assumes that LADOT s Adapti Traffic Control System (ATCS would be implemented at nine of the study intersections. The intersection of Mindanao Way & Glencoe Anue would not ha ATCS implemented. LADOT estimates that the ATCS system provides an additional capacity increase of about 3% (0.03 V/C adjustment beyond the 7% increase related to the precursor ATSAC system. Existing Peak Hour Lels of Service The existing weekday morning peak hour turning moments presented in Figure 3 were used in conjunction with the lel of service methodology described abo to determine existing operating conditions at each of the study intersections. Lel of service calculation worksheets are included in Appendix C.

17 TABLE LEVEL OF SERVICE DEFINITIONS FOR SIGNALIZED INTERSECTIONS Lel of Service Volume/Capacity Ratio Definition A EXCELLENT. No hicle waits longer than one red light and no approach phase is fully used. B VERY GOOD. An occasional approach phase is fully utilized; many drirs begin to feel somewhat restricted within groups of hicles. C GOOD. Occasionally drirs may ha to wait through more than one red light; backups may delop behind turning hicles. D FAIR. Delays may be substantial during portions of the rush hours, but enough lower volume periods occur to permit clearing of deloping lines, prenting excessi backups. E POOR. Represents the most hicles intersection approaches can accommodate; may be long lines of waiting hicles through seral signal cycles. F >.000 FAILURE. Backups from nearby locations or on cross streets may restrict or prent moment of hicles out of the intersection approaches. Tremendous delays with continuously increasing queue lengths. Source: Transportation Research Board.

18 Table 3 summarizes the a.m. and p.m. peak hour V/C ratios and corresponding LOS at each of the study intersections. The results of this analysis indicate that eight of the study intersections are currently operating at acceptable lels of service (LOS D or better during both the morning and afternoon peak hours. The two study locations that are currently operating at poor lels of service are Lincoln Boulevard at Venice Boulevard and Lincoln Boulevard at Washington Boulevard. The intersection of Lincoln Boulevard and Venice Boulevard currently operates at LOS E during both the morning and afternoon peak hours while the intersection of Lincoln Boulevard and Washington Boulevard currently operates at LOS B during the morning peak hour and LOS E during the afternoon peak hour.

21 III. FUTURE TRAFFIC PROJECTIONS In order to evaluate properly the potential impact of the proposed project on the local street system, it is necessary to delop estimates of future traffic conditions in the area both with and without the proposed project. Future traffic volumes are first estimated for the study area without the project. These future forecasts reflect traffic increases due to general regional growth and traffic that is expected to be generated by other future delopments in the vicinity of the project and represent cumulati base conditions. The addition of project traffic to the cumulati base would reflect the cumulati plus project conditions. CUMULATIVE BASE TRAFFIC PROJECTIONS The cumulati base traffic projections reflect anticipated future traffic increases that can be expected from two sources. The first is ambient growth in traffic, which reflects general increases in traffic due to regional growth and delopment. The second source is traffic generated by specific future projects located within or in the vicinity of the study area. The methods and assumptions used to delop the cumulati base traffic projections are described below. Areawide Traffic Growth Existing traffic is expected to increase between year 004 and year 008 as a result of general area-wide and regional growth and delopment. Based on historical trends, LADOT recommends an ambient traffic growth factor of % per year be used to adjust the existing year 004 traffic volumes to reflect the effects of regional growth and delopment by the year 008. Figure 5 illustrates the existing and ambient traffic growth volumes projected to the year

23 Traffic Generation of Cumulati Delopment Projects Information regarding potential future projects that are either under construction, planned, or proposed for delopment within or near the study area was obtained from seral sources, including previous studies recently conducted within the area. These sources also include the current list of potential future projects from the LADOT related projects database. The cumulati projects are described in Table 4, and their locations are illustrated in Figure 6. Projected weekday a.m. and p.m. peak hour trip generation for the majority of the related projects was also obtained from the LADOT related projects database. Other related projects trip generation was obtained from the July 003 The Village At Playa Vista Transportation Plan Environmental Impact Report prepared by Kaku Associates, Inc. As shown in Table 4, there are a total of 3 cumulati delopment projects within the two-mile radius vicinity of the project site. The geographic distribution of traffic generated by delopments such as those included in this analysis depend on seral factors. These factors include the type and density of the proposed land uses, the geographic distribution of the population from which employees and/or patrons of the proposed delopments may be drawn, the geographic distribution of activity centers (employment, commercial, and other to which residents of proposed residential projects may be drawn, and the location of the project in relation to the surrounding street system. The trip generation estimates were assigned to the local street system using the trip distribution patterns described abo. The resulting related project only traffic volumes are illustrated in Figure 7. Cumulati Base Traffic Volumes Forecasts of cumulati base traffic volumes were deloped by adding the traffic expected to be generated by the list of cumulati delopment projects to the background existing volumes adjusted by areawide traffic growth. The resulting traffic volumes at the analyzed intersections, as illustrated in Figure 8, represent the year 008 cumulati base conditions, i.e., future conditions without the project. 8
