<br /> <br />5 <br />of the proposed project would result in a potentially significant VMT impact under Existing plus <br />Project Conditions. <br />Table 2: VMT per Capita (Base Year Conditions) <br />TAZ County <br />VMT/Capita <br />Impact <br />Threshold <br />TAZ VMT per Capita <br />under Existing <br />Conditions <br />TAZ VMT per Capita <br />under Existing Plus <br />Project Conditions <br />1190 19.38 16.47 35.29 34.83 <br />Source: ACTC Model Outputs <br /> <br />Cumulative VMT Impact Findings <br />Since the proposed project was found to result in potentially significant VMT impacts under Existing <br />plus Project Conditions, a cumulative analysis of project VMT was also conducted using the ACTC <br />model. <br />Table 3 shows the VMT per Capita associated with the proposed development under Cumulative <br />Conditions, based on ACTC model results for TAZ #1190, which includes the proposed development. <br />Under both Cumulative and Cumulative plus Project conditions, the VMT per Capita is higher than the <br />significant threshold of 15.00 miles per resident. Based on the forecasted VMT per Capita of 33.26 <br />miles per resident under Cumulative plus Project conditions, a reduction of approximately 54.91 <br />percent would be needed to mitigate the VMT impact to less than significant levels under Cumulative <br />plus Project conditions. <br /> <br />Table 3: VMT per Capita (Cumulative Year Conditions) <br />TAZ County <br />VMT/Capita <br />Impact <br />Threshold <br />TAZ VMT per Capita <br />under Existing <br />Conditions <br />TAZ VMT per Capita <br />under Cumulative Plus <br />Project Conditions <br />1190 17.64 15.0 33.16 33.26 <br />Source: ACTC Model Outputs <br /> <br />VMT MITIGATION MEASURES <br />When a lead agency identifies a significant CEQA impact, the agency must identify feasible mitigation <br />measures in order to avoid or substantially reduce that impact. These measures can be incorporated <br />as a part of plans, policies, regulations, or project designs. Project design features that encourage <br />mode shift from automobiles to transit or non-motorized modes can therefore help reduce project <br />VMT.
