their adjoining properties. An access easement must also be granted and recorded to

Avenue.
28. TRAFFIC
It does not appear likely that the proposed development will generate 100 or more new
� peak trips to or from the site, so City or VTA guidelines did not require a
Transportation Impact Analysis (TIA). Estimates of the combined vehicle trip
� generation by the two sites, using statistics from Trip Generation, 7th Edition, published
by the Institute of Transportation Engineers (ITE), are as follows.
i a. Bettiveen the existing and proposed residential uses, there should be either no
change or a small reduction in the AM and PM peak traffic in and out of the
i sites.
b. The new clinics should generate about 6 new peak hour trips during either the
� AM or PM peaks, depending on the hours of operation.
c. The retail uses should generate about 13 new AM peak hour trips and 9 PM
� peak hour trips.
d. The total new peak hour trips generated by the proposed uses on the two sites
� should then be about 19 new AM peak hour trips and 15 new Pm peak hour
trips. This represents less than one new vehicle trip generated by both sites
; every three minutes during peak hours. The effect on traffic circulation in the
area should not be significant.
I
In addition, the proposed developments shall be required to install or upgrade
emergency vehicle preempt (EVP) equipment and countdown pedestrian signal heads
� at the signalized intersection of Orange Avenue and Stevens Creek Boulevard. This
work or the cost of this work will be shared equally by the developments at 10026 and
10038 Orange Avenue. .
