4400 Black Avenue Redevelopment – Transportation Assessment January 8, 2025 17 As stated within the Housing Element EIR, mitigation measure MM TRANS-2 describes that projects which result in a significant VMT impact may implement Transportation Demand Management (TDM) measures and/or physical measures to reduce VMT. However, since the City’s Housing Element EIR could not confirm the effectiveness of VMT reductions from the implementation of TDM measures to a level below significance of projects subjected to this provision, the implementation of MM TRANS-2 would not be sufficient to reduce VMT impacts to a level below significance. Therefore, VMT impacts would remain significant and unavoidable, even with the implementation of TDM strategies. As noted above, although the project’s VMT impacts are significant. Since this project is under the purview of the City’s Housing Element, its CEQA impacts have been studied and an Environmental Impact Review (EIR) already provided an overriding and significant consideration of the project’s VMT impacts. In other words, this project already has a statement of overriding considerations prepared. On-Site Circulation and Vehicular Access The Project will modify the existing access to the site along Black Avenue from two (2) driveways to one (1) driveway. The entrance to the Project site will be stop-controlled on the side street. Utilization of the driveway is anticipated to be less than one (1) vehicle per minute during the weekday commute peak hours. As shown in Figure 6, the internal site circulation will be provided by Street A. Street A will be 26 feet in width, however the width will reduce to 24 feet at its near proximity to Black Avenue. The roadway will include multiple residential driveways on the west side (servicing units 36 through 59) and will include seven (7) parallel parking spaces on the east side. Three (3) private alleys will provide additional access to seven (7) of the ten (10) residential buildings. TJKM expects that this internal roadway configuration will adequately service the site.
