INTRODUCTION
This traffic impact analysis (TIA) has been prepared for the proposed Village 8 West Sectional
Planning Area (SPA) Plan within the Otay Ranch community in the City of Chula Vista. The project
is planned to be located around the future intersection of La Media Road and Main Street,
continuing southeasterly along Otay Valley Road to State Route 125 (SR-125). The project location
is shown in Exhibit 1.
Otay Ranch is a master-planned community of approximately 23,000 acres in size and includes a
mix of land uses within 20 villages and planning areas. From the newly adopted 2012 General
Plan, a General Development Plan (GDP) and Environmental Impact Report (EIR) for Otay Ranch
was adopted in October 1993. The GDP outlines the uses anticipated for each village. A General
Plan Amendment (GPA) and General Development Plan Amendment (GDPA) were prepared for
Village 8 West to account for changes in circulation network and land use from the 2005 Adopted
General Plan. The GPA and GDPA were approved as part of PCM-09-11 and GPA 09-01.
Sectional Planning Area (SPA) Plans are required for each village p rior to consideration of final
development permits and entitlements. The Village 8 West SPA Plan includes 320.1 gross acres,
consisting of a mix of residential, commercial, parks and open space, and community uses,
including two schools. The future La Media Road and Main Street within the Village 8 West Town
Center are designated as Town Center arterials and will be designed as a pair of one-way couplets.
Both Main Street and La Media Road will serve as the primary access routes in and out of Village 8
West. A town center will be located within the couplet and surrounded by mixed use and park
space. Single family housing is planned to be developed in the southern portion of Village 8 West.
The vision for Village 8 West is to develop a cohesive community with inter-connected uses and
densities. The mix of proposed residential, commercial and community uses are intended to
provide a mixed-use environment that serves the needs of residents and employees. The densities
and design patterns envisioned for the village focus on promoting a walkable and bikeable
community with less emphasis on automobile trips. To account for trips internal to the village and
for trips replaced by walking, biking, or transit, internal capture and trip reductions were applied to
the traffic analysis.
The project will be built in several phases. At maximum buildout, the proposed project is forecast to
generate approximately 43,084 (total gross) trips per day which includes 3,467 a.m. peak hour trips
and 4,283 p.m. peak hour trips, based on SANDAG’s (Not So) Brief Guide of Vehicular Traffic
Generation Rates (April 2002), internal capture calculations, and transit trip reductions. In addition
to traffic operating conditions, this report discusses the phasing of future roadways, access to
transit, pedestrian and bicycle linkages, and activity within and surrounding the project site.
Traffic impact analysis was conducted for existing, 2015, 2020, 2025, and 2030 conditions. As
required by the City of Chula Vista, this traffic impact study has been prepared in accordance with
the City’s Adopted General Plan. The City’s goal for acceptable levels of service is generally LOS D
or better at signalized and unsignalized intersections and LOS C along roadway segments.

PROJECT DESCRIPTION
The proposed development of Village 8 West will be located in the southwest portion of Otay Ranch
and is one of 20 planned community villages. Village 8 West will be developed around the future
intersection of La Media Road and Main Street, which is designed to be constructed as a pair of
couplets, with a town square located in the center and surrounded by mixed use and park space.
Single family housing is planned to be developed in the southern portion of Village 8 West.
Land Use Description
Altogether, the Village 8 West SPA plan includes 320.1 gross acres and a range of allowable uses
and quantities. The following land uses and quantities represent the maximum allowed per the
Village 8 West SPA plan, thereby representing the most intensive scenario for the purposes of this
traffic study:
• 2,050 residential dwelling units;
• 250,000 square feet of commercial retail;
• 50,000 square feet of office;
• 28.0 acres of park;
• 26.0 acres of open space;
• 11.4 acres for one elementary school;
• 21.0 acres for one middle school; and
• 5.8 acres of community purpose facilities.
The proposed elements and site utilization of the Village 8 West SPA are shown in Exhibit 2, which
includes a range of residential units and densities, mixed use, parks and open space, and
community facilities. The proposed land uses are consistent with the land use designations outlined
in the Otay Ranch GDPA. Transportation facilities will be provided to meet the existing and future
demand for motorists, transit, pedestrians and bicyclists.
Project Access
The project will construct a couplet at Main Street / La Media Road to provide access to and from
Village 8 West. The couplet will be two lanes in each direction through the town center. All
intersections through the couplet will be signalized. Street “A” will be constructed as a two -lane
street. Street “A” will intersect with Main Street and connect with internal roadways. Traffic signals
are also planned for all access points along Otay Valley Road. The internal roadway network for
Village 8 West is depicted in Exhibit 2.
Pedestrian and bicycle access to the site will be provided via bicycle lanes and sidewalks along all
circulation element roadways. To help maintain lower traffic speeds, traffic calming devices are
recommended on internal streets including intersection bulb-outs, one-way street bulb-outs and
narrow streets.
Transit service will be provided by MTS along Main Street. Both Rapid Bus service and local
circulator service will be accessible from this village.

STUDY AREA
The project study area was defined based on the distribution of project-generated trips on the
roadway network and the requirements of the Congestion Management Plan (CMP). The list of
study intersections was determined based on the trip threshold, which includes all intersections
where 50 or more peak hour project-generated trips forecast to be added, including several future
intersections and roadway segments. Study intersections and roadway segments are illustrated in
Exhibit 3. The study area consists of the following intersections and roadway segments:

ANALYSIS METHODOLOGY
The 2000 Highway Capacity Manual (HCM) methodology for Signalized Intersections was used to
determine the operating Levels of Service (LOS) of the study intersections. The HCM methodology
describes the operation of an intersection using a range of levels of service (LOS) from LOS A
(free-flow conditions) to LOS F (severely congested conditions), based on corresponding average
stopped delay per vehicle shown in Table 1.
Table 1
Intersection LOS & Delay Ranges
LOS
Delay (seconds/vehicle)
Signalized Intersections Unsignalized Intersections
A < 10.0 < 10.0
B > 10.0 to < 20.0 > 10.0 to < 15.0
C > 20.0 to < 35.0 > 15.0 to < 25.0
D > 35.0 to < 55.0 > 25.0 to < 35.0
E > 55.0 to < 80.0 > 35.0 to < 50.0
F > 80.0 > 50.0
Source: 2000 Highway Capacity Manual.
The roadway segment analysis of the study area roadways is based upon roadway classifications
and capacity thresholds defined in the City of Chula Vista Transportation Element. The roadway
segment level of service criteria is included in Table 2.
Table 2
Level of Service Thresholds for Roadway Segments
Classification (# Lanes) Level of Service (percent of capacity)

Notes: (1) The technical analysis includes the evaluation of augmented arterials near the freeway on and off ramps. The
augmented arterials include auxiliary lanes in advance of the freeway ramps to serve the higher traffic volumes that
typically occur. When auxiliary lanes are provided, the capacity of the segment is increased by the equivalent single lane
capacity (10,500 vpd per lane for LOS E) to account for the benefit in overall operations that is achieved with the
construction of auxiliary lanes near the ramps.
(2) Town Center and Gateway arterials are “urban core” classifications. Urban Core facilities are evaluated against a LOS
D or better standard.

Analysis of Caltrans Facilities
In accordance with City of Chula Vista and Caltrans requirements, the following analysis was
conducted for 2030 conditions using the City of Chula Vista Traffic Impact Study Guidelines, the
2000 Highway Capacity Manual, and the Caltrans Highway Design Manual:
• Freeway Mainline
o City of Chula Vista TIS Guidelines
• Intersections
o Caltrans Intersection Lane Volume (ILV) Methodology
Basic Freeway Segment Analysis
Segments of northbound and southbound I-805 between Telegraph Canyon Road and Main Street
were analyzed under 2030 Without and With Project peak hour conditions using the 2000 HCS
Basic Freeway Segment analysis methodology. A 4% heavy truck factor was applied in addition to
a measured free-flow speed of 65 mph was used in the HCS calculations for multi-lane segments.
Intersection Lane Volume (ILV) Analysis
The ILV methodology evaluates the traffic demand at an intersection to the available capacity at the
intersection. Combining traffic signal phasing and intersection geometry with peak hour traffic
volumes, the ILV method ology determines if a ramp is either “stable”, “unstable” or at “capacity”.
The thresholds for operating conditions using the ILV methodology are summarized in Table 3.
Table 3
Intersection Lane Volume (ILV) Operational Thresholds
ILV/hr Description
<1,200
“Stable”
Stable flow with slight, but acceptable delay. Occasional signal loading may develop.
Free midblock operations.
1,200 to 1,500
“Unstable”
Unstable flow with considerable delays possible. Some vehicles occasionally wait two
or more cycles to pass through the intersection. Continuous backup occurs on some
approaches.
>1,500
“Capacity”
Stop-and-go operation with severe delay and heavy congestion. Traffic volume is
limited by maximum discharge rates of each phase. Continuous backup in varying
degrees occurs on all approaches. Where downstream capacity is restrictive, mainline
congestion can impede orderly discharge through the intersection.

THRESHOLDS OF SIGNIFICANCE
Project impacts are defined as either project specific or cumulative. Project specific impacts are
those impacts for which the addition of project trips results in an identifiable degradation in LOS,
triggering the need for specific project-related improvements. Cumulative impacts are those in
which project trips contribute to an unacceptable LOS. The City of Chula Vista goal for acceptable
operating conditions is LOS D or better for signalized and unsignalized intersections and LOS C or
better for roadway segments. For urban core arterials (Town Center and Gateway classifications),
the threshold for acceptable level of service is LOS D along roadway segments. For intersections,
roadway segments and freeway sections, impacts are defined when the acceptable level of service
is breached either by the project or as a cumulative affect of multiple projects. The criteria for
determining whether the project results in either a project specific or cumulative impact are defined
both for short term and long term conditions. The criteria for each condition is defined below.
Short Term Impacts (0-4 years)
Per the City’s thresholds of significance for short-term analyses, (0 to 4 years), roadway sections
may be defined as either links or segments. A link is typically that section of roadway between two
adjacent Circulation Element intersections and a segment is defined as that combination of
contiguous links used in Growth Management Plan Traffic Monitoring Program.
Analysis of roadway links under short-term conditions may require a more detailed analysis using
the Growth Management Oversight Committee (GMOC) methodology if the typical planning
analysis using volume to capacity ratios on an individual link indicates a potential impact to that link.
The GMOC analysis uses the Highway Capacity Manual (HCM) methodology of average travel
speed based on actual measurements on the segments as listed in the Growth Management Plan
Traffic Monitoring Program.
Intersections:
a. Direct Project Impact if both the following criteria are met:
i. LOS E or LOS F.
ii. Project trips comprise 5% or more of entering volume.
b. Cumulative impact if only (i) above is met.
Street Links/Segments
If the planning short-term analysis of street links or segments using the volume to capacity
ratio indicates LOS C or better, there is no impact. IF the planning analysis indicates LOS D,
E or F, the GMOC method should be utilized. The following criteria would then be utilized:
a. Direct Project Impact if all the following criteria are met:
i) LOS D for more than 2 hours or LOS E/F for 1 hour
ii) Project trips comprise 5% or more of segment volume.
iii) Project adds greater than 800 ADT to the segment.
b. Cumulative impact if only (i) above is met.
7
Long Term Impacts (5 or more years)
Per the City’s thresholds of significance for long-term analyses, (5 or more years), the City of Chula
Vista adopted General Plan identifies a project to result in a significant impact if one of the following
criteria is met:
Intersections
a. Direct project impact if both the following criteria are met:
i. Level of service is LOS E or F
ii. Project trips consist of five percent or more of entering volume
b. Cumulative impact if only (i) is met.
Street Links/Segments
a. Direct project impact if all the following criteria are met:
i. Level of service is LOS D, E, or F
ii. Project trips consist of five percent or more of segment volume
iii. Project adds greater than 800 ADT to the segment
b. Cumulative impact if only (i) is met. However, if the intersections along a LOS D or E
segment all operate at LOS D or better, the segment impact is considered not significant
since intersection analysis is more indicative of actual roadway system operations than
street segment analysis. If a segment is LOS F, an impact is significant regardless of
intersection LOS.
Direct impacts must be mitigated by the project. This includes the construction of improvements
that reduce the project impacts to less than significant.
Cumulative impacts will be mitigated to a less than significant level, which may include payment of
TDIF fees for projects included in the TDIF program.
Roadways and intersections along the project frontage are required to be constructed concurrently
with the project to mitigate impacts and provide access. These improvements are assumed to be
constructed in the technical analysis.

CALIFORNIA ENVIRONMENTAL QUALITY ACT (CEQA) GUIDELINES
The environmental impacts of a project are evaluated based on criteria established in the CEQA
guidelines. The six guidelines pertaining to Transportation/Traffic were updated in 2010 and focus
on providing a balanced transportation system. As stated in the 2010 CEQA Guidelines, a project
may result in a significant impact if any of the following criteria are met:
a. Would the project conflict with an applicable plan, ordinance, or policy establishing
measures of effectiveness for the performance of the circulation system, taking into account
all modes of transportation including mass transit and non-motorized travel and relevant
components of the circulation system, including but not limited to intersections, streets,
highways, and freeways, pedestrian and bicycle paths, and mass transit?
b. Would the project conflict with an applicable congestion management program, including,
but not limited to level of service standards and travel demand measures, or other standards
established by the county congestion management agency for designated roads or
highways?
c. Would the project result in a change in air traffic patterns, including either an increase in
traffic levels or a change in location that results in substantial safety risks?
d. Would the project substantially increase hazards due to a design feature (e.g. sharp curves
or dangerous intersections) or incompatible uses (e.g. farm equipment)?
e. Would the project result in inadequate emergency access?
f. Would the project conflict with adopted policies, plans or programs regarding public transit,
bicycle or pedestrian facilities, or otherwise decrease the performance or safety of such
facilities?
ROADWAY CIRCULATION SYSTEM
A field investigation of the existing roadway and intersection conditions was conducted specifically
for this project at the time the traffic data was collected. Traffic signal operations, lanes, parking
and other factors that may affect the capacity of the roadway were identified and included in this
analysis. A description of existing and future roadways in the project study area is provided below.
Roadway classifications as identified in the City GPA Transportation Element are illustrated in
Exhibit 4. Existing and future intersection geometry is shown in Exhibit 5.
Interstate 805 (I-805) provides regional access through the South San Diego County area as a
major freeway facility and is oriented in a north-south direction. Regional project access is provided
at Olympic Parkway and Main Street. I-805 is generally an eight-lane freeway between I-5 and SR-
54. By Horizon Year 2030, I-805 is planned to include eight lanes plus four managed lanes north of
East Palomar Street.
9
State Route 125 (SR-125) is a combination freeway/tollway that provides north-south access
through eastern Chula Vista, east of I-805. SR-125 is a four-lane freeway facility that extends from
State Route 52 (SR-52) in Santee to State Route 54. The southern portion of SR-125 from SR-54
to SR-905 is a toll road, also known as the South Bay Expressway.
Olympic Parkway is classified as a six-lane Prime Arterial from I-805 to Hunte Parkway and as a
four-lane Major Road east of Hunte Parkway. To serve high traffic volumes in the vicinity of SR-
125, Olympic Parkway is classified as an 8 -lane Expressway from SR-125 to Eastlake Parkway.
Olympic Parkway provides local access to and from I-805 and east-west connections through the
surrounding areas to Otay Ranch. Bike lanes are provided and on-street parking is prohibited. The
posted speed limit is 45 mph.
Main Street is classified as a six-lane Prime Arterial from I-805 to its existing terminus at Heritage
Road. The extension of Main Street is identified in the City of Chula Vista Transportation Element
to extend from the existing terminus to connect with Hunte Parkway. The extension of Main Street
will provide an additional east-west route between I-805 and SR-125, parallel to Olympic Parkway.
Through Village 8 West, Main Street will be constructed as a four-lane couplet with two lanes
eastbound and two lanes westbound. The speed through the couplet will be set at 25 to 35 mph to
complement the pedestrian oriented development and to support on-street parking within the town
center. Sidewalks and bicycle lanes will be provided along Main Street.
Brandywine Avenue is currently a four-lane Class I Collector road and narrows to two lanes with a
two-way left-turn lane north of Main Street. Brandywine Avenue is oriented in a north-south
direction and provides connections to Telegraph Canyon Road, East Palomar Street, Olympic
Parkway, and Main Street. Bike lanes are provided along Brandywine Avenue. The posted speed
limit is 25 mph. On-street parking is prohibited except along the two-lane section of Brandywine
Avenue.
Heritage Road is constructed as a six-lane Prime Arterial north of Olympic Parkway and is
generally oriented in a north-south direction, providing access from Olympic Parkway north to
Telegraph Canyon Road where the road turns into Paseo Ranchero. There is currently a gap in
Heritage Road between Olympic Parkway and Main Street. South of Main Street, Heritage Road is
located within the City of Chula Vista up to Entertainment Circle. South of Entertainment Circle
Heritage Road is located within the City of San Diego. Currently, Heritage Road south of Main
Street is striped as a two- to four-lane Collector with a posted speed limit of 40 mph. Bike lanes and
sidewalks are provided; on-street parking is prohibited. The future extension of Heritage Road will
be constructed as a six-lane Prime Arterial from Olympic Parkway to Main Street and will be the
only circulation roadway connection from Chula Vista to the Otay Mesa in the City of San Diego
between I-805 and SR-125.
La Media Road is constructed as a six-lane Prime Arterial road oriented in a north-south direction,
providing access between Telegraph Canyon Road, the northerly property line of Village 8 West,
and south of Birch Road. The City Transportation Element includes the extension of La Media
10
south into Village 8 West as a six-lane Prime Arterial. The posted speed limit is 40 mph. On-street
parking is prohibited to accommodate bike lanes. Through Village 8 West, La Media Road will be
constructed as a four-lane couplet with two lanes southbound and two lanes northbound. Through
the couplet speeds will be set between 25 and 35 mph to complement the pedestrian oriented
development and to support the proposed on-street parking. Sidewalks are also provided both
within the couplet and along the six-lane sections of La Media Road.
Eastlake Parkway is constructed as a six-lane roadway between Olympic Parkway and Hunte
Parkway and is oriented in a north-south direction immediately east of SR-125. Eastlake Parkway
is a four-lane roadway north of Olympic Parkway, a six-lane roadway between Olympic Parkway
and Hunte Parkway/Main Street, and is proposed to be a four-lane roadway from Hunte
Parkway/Main Street to Otay Valley Road. Eastlake Parkway provides access from its southern
terminus at Hunte Parkway to north of Otay Lakes Road. The City Transportation Element includes
the extension of Eastlake Parkway south of Hunte Parkwa y into the future university sit e. Bike
lanes are provided. On-street parking is prohibited.
Hunte Parkway is constructed as a six-lane Prime Arterial from Olympic Parkway to Eastlake
Parkway. Bike lanes and sidewalks are provided. The greenbelt trail is located along the south
side of Hunte Parkway. The posted speed limit is 45 mph.
Birch Road is constructed as a six-lane road from La Media Road to Eastlake Parkway and is
oriented in an east-west direction, providing access to La Media Road, SR-125, and Eastlake
Parkway. Birch Road is classified as a six-lane Major Arterial from La Media Road to SR-125. From
SR-125 to Eastlake Parkway, Birch Road is classified as a six-lane Prime Arterial.
Magdalena Avenue is currently a two to four lane local road that connects Main Street to Birch
Road through Village 7. It provides access to the local high school and residential areas on the
west side of SR-125. Although local roads are typically not subject to the LOS requirements
established for Circulation Element roads, the segment of Magdalena Avenue from Birch Road to
Main Street is included in the analysis because of its close proximity to the project site and because
the intersection of Main Street/Magdalena Avenue is a direct access point to the project.
Santa Victoria (Future) Santa Victoria is currently partially constructed. At buildout, the roadway
will be a two-lane road that will extend west from the Birch Road/La Media Road intersection and
head northwesterly to connect with Olympic Parkway. The road is planned as part of the Village 2
roadway network.
Otay Valley Road (Future) Otay Valley Road is a future four-lane major road that will be connected
to the southern terminus of the Main Street/La Media Road Couplet and will continue southeasterly
to the future extension of Eastlake Parkway. MTS plans to use the Otay Valley Road bridge as part
of the Bus Rapid Transit route.
11
Main Street / La Media Road Couplet
The intersection of La Media Road and Main Street will be constructed as a pair of one-way streets
that form a couplet. A total of four new signalized intersections will be constructed within the
couplet to allow higher volumes traffic to move efficiently between Main Street and La Media Road.
By separating the intersection of Main Street/La Media Road into four smaller intersections, left turn
phases can be eliminated thereby improving the efficiency of the signal cycle. Shorter cycle lengths
and fewer phases result in lower delay and improved traffic flows.
The width of the intersection is also significantly decreased, improving access for pedestrians and
reducing pedestrian green time at the traffic signal. Total conflicting traffic volume through the
series of four smaller intersections is lower than the total intersection volume of a single point
intersection, thereby allowing shorter cycle lengths and improved safety for pedestrians.
Combined, these operational benefits of the couplet allow the series of intersections to carry a
higher volume of traffic more efficiently and with acceptable levels of service. The four signalized
intersection are connected by 200 to 500 feet long roadway segments. The operations of the
segments are dictated by the operating conditions of the adjacent signalized intersection.
Therefore, there are no typical roadway segments through the couplet. The performance of the
roadways between the intersections is a reflection of the signal coordination and signal timing. The
peak hour analysis conducted for intersections is a better determinant for levels of service than a
V/C daily roadway analysis.
Thus, the individual intersections within the couplet were analyzed and included in the traffic study
to determine the levels of service at each location. Acceptable levels of service through the
intersections are a clear indication that traffic will flow through the couplet at acceptable levels of
service.
12
EXISTING CONDITIONS
To determine the existing conditions at the study intersections, turning movement counts were
taken on a typical weekday during the a.m. (7:00 to 9:00 a.m.) and p.m. (4:00 to 6:00 p.m.) peak
periods. Average daily traffic (ADT) volumes were also collected along most roadway segments
over a 24-hour period. Exhibits 6 and 7 show existing peak hour and daily traffic volumes,
respectively. Detailed count data is contained in Appendix A.
Table 4 summarizes the existing a.m. and p.m. peak hour levels of service (LOS) of the study
intersections based on the existing peak hour intersection volumes and existing intersection
geometry. Detailed HCM calculation sheets are contained in Appendix B. As shown in Table 4,
most intersections are currently operating at an acceptable LOS (LOS D or better) during the a.m.
and p.m. peak hours, with the exception of Olympic Parkway / I-805 Northbound Ramps, which
operates at LOS F during the a.m. peak hour.
Roadway segment levels of service were calculated based on established capacity thresholds
defined by roadway classification and ADT volumes. Table 5 presents the results of the existing
conditions roadway segment level of service analysis. As shown in Table 5, all roadway segments
currently operate at acceptable levels of service, except for Olympic Parkway from Heritage Road to
La Media Road.

6A = 6 lane augments arterial. Augmented arterials include additional turn lanes that provide the necessary capacity in advance of key intersections such as freeway ramps. The additional lanes
improve the overall performance of the link nearest the intersection where the greatest delay typically occurs. The performance of the segment benefits from this additional capacity; therefore, the
overall capacity of the link is increased by the equivalent single lane volume for this classification (10,500 vpd per lane).

STUDY SCENARIOS AND LAND USE ASSUMPTIONS
The traffic impact analysis was conducted for several scenarios. Initially, the project's traffic
impacts to the existing physical environment as of the date of this study are analyzed. Recognizing
that this large project likely will be constructed over time in several phases, this study analyzes the
impacts of the project in years 2015, 2020, 2025, and 2030. For existing conditions, the project was
overlaid on the existing conditions traffic volumes and evaluated against the existing circulation
network. Each future year scenario included land use assumptions for all undeveloped or partially
developed villages through the Otay Ranch community as well as a phased project development
approach by scenario year.
Roadway Network Assumptions
The baseline roadway network for this study is the existing roadway network based on the
conditions observed in the field at the time this report was initiated. Throughout the study, impacts
are identified and mitigation measures are recommended. As a result, improvements to the
roadway network are assumed to occur as part of this planning document. The roadway network
improvements are either a result of improvements constructed by the project through project
frontage or direct impact mitigation or improvements constructed through payment of TDIF fees by
the project and by others.
If the project equivalent dwelling unit (EDU) limit for each study year (2015, 2020, 2025, & 2030) is
reached prior to any of the assumed roadway or intersection improvements being constructed and
open to traffic, then one of the following steps shall be taken as determined by the City Engineer:
1. Development in Village 8 West will stop until those assumed future roadways are
constructed by others; or
2. City and OLC shall meet to determine the need for the incomplete roadway segments. A
number of factors, including changes to the tolling structure at SR-125, may affect the
traffic patterns in the Otay Ranch. Additional traffic analysis of the roadway network and
levels of service assessment may be necessary to determine if such improvements are
necessary and the scope and timing of additional circulation improvements; or
3. Developer shall construct the missing roadway links and receive TDIF credit for those
improvements as applicable; or
4. An alternative measure is selected by the city in accordance with the city of Chula Vista
Growth Management Ordinance.
5. All to the satisfaction of the City Engineer.
Background Land Use Assumptions
Future year land use information for the City of Chula Vista, City of San Diego, and County of San
Diego were based upon the current General Plan or Community Plan information available. For the
County of San Diego, General Plan 2020 land use data was used and in the City of San Diego the
16
Otay Mesa Community Plan land uses were applied. For City of Chula Vista, the General Plan land
use data was updated to reflect approved or pending projects in the Otay Ranch. All updated land
use data was integrated into the SANDAG database prior to running the traffic model.
For background land use data, the interim year development assumptions were estimated using a
straight line methodology from 2015 to 2030, with full buildout assumed by year 2030. Once the
land uses and street networks were coded appropriately, the model was run for each of the study
scenarios. The model volumes were further refined to produce forecasted average daily traffic
(ADT) volumes for all street segments.
Model Methodology
Future year traffic volumes were forecast using the Series 11 South Bay Sub Area traffic model
developed by SANDAG. In collaboration with City of Chula Vista and SANDAG, RBF Consulting
provided the land use and network designations for each scenario year. Interim year land use data
and model plots are provided in Appendix C. Interim forecast data was determined for each study
year beginning in year 2015. The model provides average daily traffic (ADT) for roadway
segments.
When the model runs were conducted for the study area, they included future roads in order to
understand how future traffic patterns may change when new capacity is added to the roadway
network. The traffic analysis in this report assumes that the existing roadway network exists until
mitigation measures are determined to be necessary, which may include the addition of links
modeled with the SANDAG traffic model. In each study scenario, manual adjustments were made
to the model volumes to remove the future links. The future link volumes were reassigned to
existing roadways in order to forecast traffic volumes on the existing roadway network. Manual
adjustments and forecast traffic patterns for the future year conditions were compared to existing
traffic patterns and volumes to ensure reasonable growth and traffic flow.
Peak hour intersection turning volumes were post-processed for each study year based on the
model ADT and the relationship between existing peak hour volumes to existing ADT as well as
anticipated growth in the surrounding area.
For new intersections, peak hour volumes were post processed based on the distribution of ADT
volumes on the network. Relationships between links, understanding of proposed land and traffic
trends on existing, similar roadways were used to refine the peak hour volumes. Post-processing
worksheets prepared for this report are provided for each horizon year (2015, 2020, 2025 and 2030)
are provided in Appendix D.
The SANDAG model assigned limited volumes to the ramps along SR-125. This is primarily due to
the model methodology used to assess the impact of tolls on the facility. At the time this analysis
was conducted, SANDAG reduced the speeds along SR -125 to 35 mph or less to simulate the
affect the toll has on driver’s decision making process. This resulted in lower than anticipated ADT
volumes along the SR-125 corridor and at ramps. There was a large disparity between ramp
volumes within a single interchange. In many cases one or two of the ramp volumes were less than
17
100 vpd and other ramp volumes at the interchange exceeded 10,000 vpd. Because of the
disparity in ramp volumes, the post-processing of ramp volumes were refined to equalize the use of
ramps through each of the interchanges to reflect existing traffic patterns at existing ramps along
the SR-125 corridor. The post-processing assumes that drivers enter and exit the SR-125 at the
same interchange. Further refinements to the distribution of traffic during the peak hour were made
around the ramps to reflect peak period demand and turning movement volumes.
Village 8 West Land Use Assumptions
The development of Village 8 West will occur over several phases and will not be fully constructed
for many years. In addition to an analysis of the project's impacts to the existing physical
environment as of the date of this study, referred to as the "Existing Plus Project" scenario, this
traffic analysis includes an evaluation of years 2015, 2020, 2025, and 2030 with incremental
developments of the proposed project in order to more accurately reflect how actual development is
expected to occur. The following sections summarize the findings of the analysis for each study
scenario. Table 6 provides a summary of land uses assumed for each phase.
• Existing Plus Project includes project-generated trips associated with buildout of Village 8
West. The project-generated trips were added to the existing roadway network. Frontage
improvements to be completed by the project applicant include construction of La Media
Road north of Main Street and Main Street east of La Media Road.
• 2015 includes project-generated trips associated with the construction of 105 single family
and 246 multi-family residential dwelling units in Village 8 West. In addition to the existing
street network, this scenario assumes partial construction of the couplet at La Media Road
and Main Street. Frontage improvements to be completed by the project applicant include
construction of two lanes of the four lane couplet along La Media Road north of Main Street
and Main Street east of La Media Road.
• 2020 includes development assumed in 2015, plus project-generated trips associated with
the construction of 354 single family and 824 multi-family residential dwelling units, 50,000
square feet of office use, 40,000 square feet of commercial retail, and 5.5 acres of park
within Village 8 West.
• 2025 includes development assumed in 2020 plus project-generated trips associated with
the construction of 162 single family dwelling units, 359 multi family dwelling units, an
elementary school, 150,000 square feet of commercial retail, and 13.1 acres of park space.
Half of the couplet is built by 2025, and the remainder of the couplet is constructed by 2030.
• 2030 includes development assumed in 2025 plus a middle school, 60,000 square feet of
commercial retail, and 9.4 acres of park space.

The proposed project is planned to be mixed use with a range of residential densities and variety of
land uses. Because of the mix of uses and comprehensive network of bicycle and pedestrian
facilities, it is reasonable to assume that a portion of the trips made will be either non-motorized or
transit-oriented. Therefore, trip reduction factors were applied to the forecasted trip generation for
Village 8 West to reflect internally captured trips (trips that do not leave the village), non-motorized
trips (pedestrian and bike trips), and transit trips. The concept of Otay Ranch Villages is
19
comprehensive and designed to keep a portion of traffic internal to the project as residential,
commercial, and community land uses will be within close proximity to one another. Internal trips
will result in traffic circulating within the village, but will not add traffic on the surrounding roadway
network outside of the Village 8 West boundaries.
Internal capture rates were calculated for retail, residential, office, and recreational uses as outlined
in the ITE Trip Generation Handbook. This methodology applies attractiveness factors between
uses to determine the propensity for short vehicle trips and/or non-motorized trips. Internal capture
rates range from 2% to 60% depending on the combination of land uses. Internal trip capture
reductions are lower in 2015 and 2020 when Village 8 West is primarily residential. As commercial
office and retail develop in 2025 and 2030, internal capture within the village increases. At buildout,
internal capture accounts for an approximate 32% reduction in daily trips.
In addition, a 5% reduction was applied for transit uses for all study years 2020 through 2030 based
on SANDAG transit reduction rates. MTS is planning both Rapid Bus service and local circulator
service that will be accessible from Village 8 West. Rapid Bus Service provides efficient, limited
stop service along Main Street. A stop is planned within the town center and will be within walking
distance of much of Village 8 West. Local circulator service will travel along La Media Road and
circulate through the ranch. This service will have frequent stops. Although Bus Rapid Transit
(BRT) is also planned for the Otay Ranch, there are not stops that are within the Village 8 West
boundary. Nearest access to the proposed BRT line is east of Village 8 West in Village 9.
Therefore, no credit for access to BRT is included in the internal capture assessment for Village 8
West. Internal capture rate and transit reduction calculations are provided in Appendix E.
Table 8 shows the forecast project-generated daily and peak hour trips, including internal capture
and transit reductions, for the proposed project. As shown, at buildout the proposed project is
forecast to generate a total of approximately 43,084 daily trips, which includes 3,467 a.m. peak hour
trips and 4,286 p.m. peak hour trips before internal capture and transit reductions With internal
capture and transit reductions, the project is forecast to generate approximately 26,104 trips per
day, including 2,662 a.m. and 2,769 p.m. peak hour trips.
Distribution of project-generated traffic was determined using the SANDAG Series 11 South Bay
Sub Area Select Zone analysis for each study year: 2015, 2020, 2025, and 2030. Exhibits 8
through 12 illustrate the project trip distribution for each study scenario. SANDAG Select Zone
model runs for each year are provided in Appendix F .
Exhibits 13 through 17 illustrate the peak hour project trip assignment based on the trip
distribution percentages for each respective study scenario. Exhibits 18 through 22 illustrate the
daily project trip assignment for each study scenario.

EXISTING PLUS PROJECT CONDITIONS
The California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) mandates the assessment of existing (ground)
conditions with project buildout conditions. The Existing Plus Project study scenario assumes the
existing street network with existing traffic count data as the baseline in order to analyze impacts
from the project at buildout. Table 8 showed that the project is forecast to generate 43,084 trips per
day at buildout. Because of the lack of existing transit service and the isolated nature of the project
in this study scenario, neither internal capture nor transit reductions were applied in this analysis.
Access to Village 8 West will be provided along the future Otay Valley Road, future La Media Road,
future Main Street and Magdalena Avenue.
Exhibit 23 illustrates the Existing Plus Project conditions peak hour volumes. Table 9 summarizes
the peak hour level of service for Existing Plus Project conditions. Detailed HCM Worksheets are
provided in Appendix G of this report. As shown, the intersections of Olympic Parkway / I-805
Northbound Ramps and Main Street / Magdalena are forecast to operate at deficient levels of
service and are forecast to be significantly impacted by the project.
Exhibit 24 illustrates the Existing Plus Project conditions average daily volumes. Table 10
presents the results of the Existing Plus Project conditions roadway segment level of service
analysis. As shown, the segments of Olympic Parkway from I-805 to Brandywine Avenue (LOS E),
Brandywine Avenue to Heritage Road (LOS E), and Heritage Road to La Media Road (LOS F) are
forecast to operate at deficient levels of service.

Significant Impacts & Mitigation
The results of the Existing Plus Project analysis show that two intersections are forecast to operate
at deficient LOS under Existing plus Project conditions. For each of the two impacted intersections,
listed below, the project trips added to the intersections exceed the City of Chula Vista’s five percent
threshold of significance. Therefore, both intersections are forecast to result in direct project
impacts:
• Olympic Parkway / 805 Northbound Ramps (13.5%)
• Main Street /Magdalena Avenue (100%)
Four roadway segments are forecast to operate at deficient LOS under Existing plus Project
conditions. The project trips added to the deficient segments listed below exceed the City of Chula
Vista’s five percent threshold of significance. Therefore, all four segments are forecast to be
directly impacted by the project:
• Olympic Parkway: from I-805 to Brandywine Avenue (16.8%)
from Brandywine Avenue to Heritage Road (17.5%)
from Heritage Road to La Media Road (23%)
• Magdalena Ave from Birch Road to Main Street
As shown, the project is forecast to result in direct impacts under the Existing Plus Project scenario.
The improvements identified for the 2015, 2020, 2025 and 2030 development scenarios, as listed in
Tables 29, 30 and 31 would mitigate these direct impacts. The project, however, is planned to be
constructed in a series of phases over a period of nearly 20 years. This phasing would not require
construction of all the improvements at once, but rather such improvements will be constructed as is
needed to mitigate impacts of the phased development. Exhibit 25 illustrates the proposed
phasing plan for Village 8 West.
The Otay Ranch is largely undeveloped around Village 8 West. Existing infrastructure within the
Otay Ranch services currently vacant properties. Therefore, substantial capacity is currently
available to serve the Village 8 West project. As other projects within the Ranch develop over time
and consume portions of the available capacity, the overall impacts of the project will be greater
than those identified in the Existing plus Project study scenario.
A phased analysis of this project was therefore conducted that includes both the proposed project
and the cumulative projects throughout the City. The project traffic and the cumulative traffic was
phased in five year increments beginning in 2015. Although the cumulative projects may provide
improvements to the circulation system as either mitigation or project frontage improvements, the
analysis conducted in this study assumes the existing roadway network until mitigation measures
are required to offset project impacts. Once a mitigation measure is identified in a future year
scenario, including the payment of TDIF fees for cumulative impacts, the subject improvements are
integrated into future year analysis This methodology more accurately evaluates the overall project
impact on the circulation system as this project and other projects develop over time.

2015 CONDITIONS
By 2015, Village 8 West is planned to include up to 105 single family and 246 multi-family
residential dwelling units. Table 11 summarizes the Village 8 West 2015 project trip generation.

The design and topography of the project requires a logical progression of on-site infrastructure
improvements. The on-site access improvements will be constructed from the north end of the
property to the south end of the property. This is necessary to connect Village 8 West to the
existing roadway network in Otay Ranch. To provide access to Village 8 West in the year 2015, the
project will construct the following on-site roadway improvements:
• Two lanes of La Media Road from existing terminus to Main Street
• Two lanes of Main Street from La Media Road to Magdalena Avenue.
Exhibit 26 illustrates the 2015 circulation system evaluated for year 2015. Access to Village 8 West
will be provided along Main Street, La Media Road and Magdalena Avenue in this study scenario.
Year 2015 traffic volumes were calculated using the SANDAG Series 11 South Bay traffic model.
The SANDAG traffic model provides average daily traffic (ADT) for roadway segments, from which
peak hour intersection turning volumes were post-processed. The relationship between existing
peak hour volumes to existing ADT as well as anticipated growth in the surrounding area was used
as a basis for post processing. Exhibit 27 shows 2015 peak hour intersection volumes. Exhibit
28 illustrates 2015 ADT volumes.
2015 Operational Analysis
Table 12 summarizes the results of the 2015 a.m. and p.m. peak hour intersection level of service
analysis. Detailed HCM calculation sheets are contained in Appendix H .
As shown in Table 12, the intersection of Olympic Parkway and I-805 Northbound Ramps is
forecast to operate at a deficient level of service under 2015 conditions.

2015 Significant Impacts and Recommended Mitigation Measures
As discussed above, one intersection and six roadway segments are forecast to operate at deficient
levels of service by 2015. Each of the deficient locations were evaluated to determine the project
impact at those locations using the City’s thresholds of significance as outlined previously in the
“Thresholds of Significance” section of this report. The intersections and roadway segments
forecast to operate at deficient LOS are listed below along with the percentage of project trips at
each location:
• Olympic Parkway / I-805 Northbound Ramps (0.6%)
• Olympic Parkway: from I-805 to Brandywine Avenue (1.3%)
from Brandywine Avenue to Heritage Road (1.3%)
from Heritage Road to La Media Road (1.9%)
from La Media Road to SR-125 (0.1%)
• Heritage Road: from Main St to Entertainment Circle (0.0%)
from Entertainment Circle to Avenida de Las Vistas (0.0%)
Mitigation measures are required at intersections or along roadway segments forecast to be
significantly impacted by the project based on the City’s Thresholds of Significance:
Intersections
a. Direct project impact if both the following criteria are met:
i. Level of service is LOS E or F
ii. Project trips consist of five percent or more of entering volume
b. Cumulative impact if only (i) is met.
Street Links/Segments
a. Direct project impact if all the following criteria are met:
i. Level of service is LOS D, E, or F
ii. Project trips consist of five percent or more of segment volume
iii. Project adds greater than 800 ADT to the segment
b. Cumulative impact if only (i) is met. However, if the intersections along a LOS D or E
segment all operate at LOS D or better, the segment impact is considered not significant
since intersection analysis is more indicative of actual roadway system operations than
street segment analysis. If a segment is LOS F, an impact is significant regardless of
intersection LOS.
For cumulative impacts, the project would mitigate impacts through payment toward the City-
established TDIF program. Direct impacts need to be fully mitigated by the project.
Access is a requirement of development and a public safety issue (Municipal Code 12.24). Access
related impacts would occur if appropriate access and frontage improvements are not provided as
required.
29
Table 14 summarizes the project impacts and recommended mitigation measures for each deficient
location as well as the forecast levels of service without and with the proposed mitigation for year
2015. Appendix I includes the mitigated HCM worksheets. A detailed description is provided
below for each of the recommended mitigation measures.

Mitigation may also be required as shown in the PFFP section of this report and summarized in Table 32.
Olympic Parkway / I-805 NB Ramps:
At the intersection of Olympic Parkway / I-805 Northbound Ramps, the percentage of project
trips added in year 2015 is 0.6%. This does not exceed City of Chula Vista thresholds of
significance for determining a “direct impact”. Therefore, the impact at this location is
considered a cumulative impact.
Recommended Mitigation Measure: Payment of TDIF fees.
30
This facility is within Caltrans ROW and is not within the City’s TDIF program.
Physical widening through the intersection was evaluated and determined to be
infeasible due to limited available right-of-way and potential impacts to the
surrounding land uses. However, there are a number of planned improvements
within the TDIF program as well as planned improvements by Caltrans for the I-805
corridor which will reduce the traffic volume through the Olympic Parkway/I-805
interchange. These improvements include the construction of the Palomar Street
Direct Access Ramps (anticipated completion 2014) and the construction of
Heritage Road (included in TDIF program). The construction of these projects will
reduce the traffic demand on the interchange at I-805/Olympic Parkway and will
result in improved LOS.
Olympic Parkway: From I-805 to SR-125
Four segments along Olympic Parkway from I-805 to SR-125 are forecast to operate at LOS
D or LOS E. As stated previously in the “Thresholds of Significance” section of this report,
three of the criteria for short term impacts must be met in order for the impact to be
identified as “direct”:
i) LOS D for more than 2 hours or LOS E/F for 1 hour
ii) Project trips comprise 5% or more of segment volume.
iii) Project adds greater than 800 ADT to the segment.
For all four segments, the project adds less than 800 trips and/or the total trips added is less
than 5% of the total volume of the segment. Since at least one of the three criteria are not
met, there are no direct project impacts to Olympic Parkway.
If the planning analysis indicates an impact of LOS D, E or F, the Growth Management Ordinance
(GMO) method shall be utilized. Under the City’s GMO, the threshold for a cumulative impact is
considered LOS D for more than 2 hours. The GMO states that if the LOS D threshold is exceeded
for more than 2 hours, then all development may be suspended until acceptable operating
conditions can be achieved.
As a part of the City’s Growth Management Program (GMP), the City monitors the operating
conditions along Olympic Parkway on an annual basis. As part of the GMP, an expanded traffic
analysis was prepared and documented as the Olympic Parkway Capacity Enhancement Analysis
(LLG, 2011) to monitor new development in the Eastern Territories with respect to the existing
available capacity on Olympic Parkway east of I-805. The study determined if GMO thresholds are
projected to be reached or exceeded, and whether mitigation measures are necessary to remain
compliant with the requirements of the GMP. In conformance with the requirements of the GMP, a
peak-hour arterial analysis was conducted on the segment of westbound Olympic Parkway between
Heritage Road and Oleander Avenue under near-term conditions (Years 0-4) based on the City of
Chula Vista’s Traffic Monitoring Program (TMP) methodology. The Chula Vista TMP is used to
assess the operating performance of the City’s arterial street system in order to determine
compliance with the Threshold Standards of the GMP.
Based on the LLG study, the segment of westbound Olympic Parkway between Heritage Road and
Oleander Avenue during a.m. peak hours would be the first to fall below GMO traffic threshold
31
standards as traffic volumes increase over time with this project and other projects east of I-805.
The analysis demonstrated that GMO thresholds would not be reached along Olympic Parkway until
building permits for 2,463 dwelling units have been issued for projects east of I-805.
The projected 2,463 dwelling unit threshold is used by the City to determine when cumulative
impacts may occur along the corridor. The following mitigation measure has been identified in the
event the GMO threshold is reached:
Recommended Mitigation Measures: Prior to the issuance of the building permit
for the 2,463rd dwelling unit for development east of I-805 (commencing from April
4, 2011), the applicant may:
i. Prepare a traffic study that demonstrates, to the satisfaction of the
City Engineer, that the circulation system has additional capacity
without exceeding the GMO traffic threshold standards, or
ii. Demonstrate that other improvements are constructed which provide
the additional necessary capacity to comply with the GMO traffic
threshold to the satisfaction of the City Engineer, or
iii. Agree to the City Engineer's selection of an alternative method of
maintaining GMO traffic threshold compliance, or
iv. Enter into agreement, approved by the City, with other Otay Ranch
developers that alleviates congestion and achieves GMO traffic
threshold compliance for Olympic Parkway. The Agreement will
identify the deficiencies in transportation infrastructure that will need
to be constructed, the parties that will construct said needed
infrastructure, a timeline for such construction, and provide
assurances for construction, in accordance with the City's customary
requirements, for said infrastructure.
If GMO compliance cannot be achieved through i, ii, iii or iv above, then the City
may, in its sole discretion, stop issuing new building permits within the Project Area
after building permits for 2,463 dwelling units have been issued for any development
east of I-805 after April 4, 2011, until such time that GMO traffic threshold standard
compliance can be assured to the satisfaction of the City Manager.
These measures shall constitute full compliance with growth management
objectives and policies in accordance with the requirements of the General Plan,
Chapter 10 with regard to traffic thresholds set forth in the GMO.
Heritage Road: From Main Street to Avenida de las Vistas
The project does not add any trips to the two deficient segments along Heritage Road.
Therefore, the project does not result in an impact, either direct or cumulative to this
segment. No mitigation measures are required.

Deficient conditions shown in bold. 1 A “Direct” project impact occurs if a project meets all three significance criteria; otherwise impacts are identified as “Cumulative.” 2According to the City of Chula Vista significance thresholds, an impact along
a deficient roadway segment operating at LOS D or E is considered NOT significant if: the intersections along a roadway segment operate at LOS D or better, the project contributes less than 800 ADT, or if the project contributes less than 5%
total volume. 3Magdalena is a local street, not on the city’s circulation network and not subject to General Plan LOS standards. The intersection of Main/Magdalena is forecast to operate at acceptable LOS with the project. Therefore, the project
is not forecast to have a significant impact on Magdalena Avenue.
36
For cumulative impacts, the project would mitigate impacts through payment toward the City-
established TDIF program. Direct impacts need to be fully mitigated by the project.
Access is a requirement of development and a public safety issue (Municipal Code 12.24). Access
related impacts would occur if appropriate access and frontage improvements are not provided as
required.
Table 18 summarizes the project impacts and recommended mitigation measures for each
significantly impacted location, as well as the forecast levels of service without and with the
proposed mitigation for year 2020. All improvements identified as mitigation measures will be
bonded or constructed prior to approval of the Final Map associated with the number of EDU’s listed
in Table 18.
Appendix K includes the mitigated HCM worksheets. A detailed description of recommended
project mitigation measures is provided below.

38
Olympic Parkway/I-805 Northbound Ramps:
At Olympic Parkway / I-805 Northbound Ramps, the percentage of project trips added to the
intersection is less than five percent. Therefore, the impacts fall below the thresholds of
significance and the impacts are considered cumulative.
Recommended Mitigation Measures: Payment of TDIF fees.
This facility is within Caltrans ROW and is not within the City’s TDIF program.
Physical widening through the intersection was evaluated and determined to be
infeasible due to limited available right-of-way and potential impacts to the
surrounding land uses. However, there are a number of planned improvements that
have been assumed for this traffic analysis and are within the TDIF program and as
well as planned improvements by Caltrans for the I-805 corridor that will reduce the
traffic volume through the Olympic Parkway/I-805 interchange should these
improvements be constructed within the timeframe analyzed in this traffic report.
These improvements include the construction of the Palomar Street Direct Access
Ramps (anticipated completion 2014) and the construction of Heritage Road
(included in TDIF program). The construction of these projects will reduce the traffic
demand on the interchange at I-805/Olympic Parkway and will result in improved
LOS.
Olympic Parkway / Brandywine Avenue:
At Olympic Parkway / Brandywine Avenue, the percentage of project trips added to the
intersections is more than five percent, resulting in direct project impacts. The obvious
mitigation measure for this intersection is the construction of westbound dual left turn lanes
to address the high left turn volumes that occur during the a.m. peak period. However,
existing right of way constraints make this improvement infeasible, expensive and not
reasonable. Based on future forecast of volumes in the study area, and at this location in
particular, modifications to the roadway system would in fact reduce the demand at Olympic
Parkway at Brandywine Avenue and make this improvement unnecessary in the future.
Currently, Brandywine is the main north-south connection between Main Street & Olympic
Parkway. During the a.m. peak period, there is a heavy westbound left turn volume. As a
result the left turning volume queues in the through lane, blocking access to westbound
through vehicles, or the through vehicles block access for the left turning vehicles. When
Heritage Road is constructed to provide parallel and redundant access between Olympic
Parkway and Main Street, the north-south demand on Brandywine is greatly reduced. As a
result the future left turn volumes for this intersection are also greatly reduced.
Recommended Mitigation Measures: There are two mitigations identified that
when combined fully mitigate the identified project impacts for the Olympic Parkway
and Brandywine Avenue intersection:
1. Install northbound right turn overlap phase. This will reduce delay to the
northbound right turning volume and provide an overall capacity improvement to
the intersection. This improvement will offset the projects’ direct impact.
39
2. Extend westbound left turn pocket (CIP Project), if not completed by
2015. To reduce the short term lane blockage issue, the City has developed a
CIP project, that is fully funded through TransNet funds to lengthen the existing
westbound left turn pocket. Although traditional methods of measuring levels of
service do not accurately measure the benefits of this improvement, the ability
for vehicles to decelerate in the left turn lane and the ability for the queue to be
maintained within the provided left turn pocket will provide operational benefits to
the intersection and corridor. This is a short-term solution toward mitigating
existing queuing issues at the intersection.
Olympic Parkway: From I-805 to Brandywine
This segment of Olympic Parkway is forecast to operate at LOS D. The project contributes
1,943 daily trips (3.6% to the total volume of the segment), which falls below the threshold of
significance for a direct impact. Therefore, the impact is cumulative.
Recommended Mitigation Measures: Payment of TDIF fees.
Olympic Parkway: From Brandywine to Heritage Road
Based on this analysis, the project will add 2,498 trips (4.3% percent of the total daily traffic)
to Olympic Parkway from Brandywine Avenue to Heritage Road. As this falls below the
thresholds of significance for a direct impact, the impact is determined to be cumulative
Recommended Mitigation Measures: Payment of TDIF fees.
Olympic Parkway: From Heritage Road to La Media Road
The project is forecast to add 4,995 trips (8.2% of the total daily traffic) to the segment of
Olympic Parkway from Heritage Road to La Media Road. As this exceeds the City’s
thresholds of significance, the impacts to this segment are a direct project impact.
Therefore, improvements are required to offset the project impacts.
Recommended Mitigation Measures: Construct Santa Victoria from Heritage
Road to La Media Road and Heritage Road from Olympic Parkway to Santa
Victoria.
Santa Victoria is a future road that runs parallel to Olympic Parkway between
Heritage Road and La Media Road. The construction of Santa Victoria will reduce
the demand on Olympic Parkway by providing an alternative route through Village 2.
The trip distribution analysis conducted using the SANDAG model demonstrated
that project traffic from Village 8 West will use Santa Victoria as an alternative route
to Olympic Parkway. As this road is not included in the TDIF program, TDIF credits
would not be allocated for the construction of this road.
40
Olympic Parkway: From La Media Road to SR-125
Olympic Parkway from La Media Road to SR-125 is forecast to operate at LOS E, but all
intersections along the segment operate at LOS D or better. According to the City’s
thresholds of significance, when this occurs, there is no impact to this segment. No
mitigation measures are required.
Heritage Road: Main Street to Avenida de las Vistas
Heritage Road is forecast to operate at LOS F by the year 2020. The distribution of project
trips using the SANDAG model showed that the project is not forecast to add any project
trips to the segment of Heritage Road from Main Street to Entertainment Circle to Avenida
de las Vistas.
Recommended Mitigation Measures: Payment of TDIF Fees
Future plans to widen Heritage Road to six lanes will increase the roadway capacity
and the segment is forecast to operate acceptably once the road is widened. The
payment of TDIF fees will mitigate any cumulative impacts this project would have
on Heritage Road.
Magdalena Avenue: Birch Road to Main Street
Magdalena Avenue is not a Circulation Element road and is not subject to General Plan
LOS thresholds according to the Otay Ranch General Development Plan. Analysis of
Magdalena Avenue shows that this road operates at LOS D in the year 2020. A level of
service D operating condition indicates that the forecast ADT volume in the year 2020 is
approximately 70 to 80% of the overall capacity of the road and acceptable traffic flow will
occur. As the forecast year 2020 volumes are well below the capacity of the road, the
project not forecast to impact Magdalena Avenue in the 2020. Therefore, the project
impacts to this road are determined to be not significant and mitigation measures are not
required.
41
2025 CONDITIONS
In addition to the development assumed in 2015 and 2020, an additional 162 single family dwelling
units, 359 multi family dwelling units, an elementary school, 150,000 square feet of commercial
retail, and 13 acres of park space are planned in Village 8 West by 2025. Table 19 summarizes the

The 2025 traffic analysis assumes the 2020 mitigated roadway network plus the following roadway
improvements:
• Construction of additional two lanes of Main Street through couplet (project frontage
improvement)
• Construction of additional two lanes of La Media Road through couplet (project frontage
improvement)
• Construction of Otay Valley Road from Street “A” to the southeastern project boundary as a
four lane Major arterial (project frontage improvement)
• Construction of Santa Victoria Road from Heritage Road to La Media Road (2020 project
mitigation)
• Construction of Heritage Road (from Olympic Parkway to Main Street); re-stripe southbound
Heritage Road to include dual left turn lanes, three through lanes and one right turn lane
(constructed by others)
• Widening of Heritage Road from Main Street to Avenida de las Vistas from a Class II
Collector to a six lane Prime (constructed by others)
42
The 2020 mitigated roadway network is required to be constructed prior to the construction of the
first EDU following the 2020 development phase (1,388 EDUs). Any additional development cannot
occur until the 2020 mitigated roadway network is in place. If the project equivalent dwelling unit
limit exceeds the 2020 development phase (1,388 EDUs) prior to the completion of all of the above-
listed assumed and planned off-site and on-site improvements being constructed and open to
traffic, then one of the following steps shall be taken as determined by the City Engineer:
1. Development in Village 8 West will stop until those assumed future roadways are
constructed by others; or
2. City and OLC shall meet to determine the need for the incomplete roadway segments. A
number of factors, including changes to the tolling structure at SR-125, may affect the
traffic patterns in the Otay Ranch. Additional traffic analysis of the roadway network and
levels of service assessment may be necessary to determine if such improvements are
necessary and the scope and timing of additional circulation improvements; or
3. Developer shall construct the missing roadway links and receive TDIF credit for those
improvements as applicable; or
4. An alternative measure is selected by the city in accordance with the city of Chula Vista
Growth Management Ordinance.
5. All to the satisfaction of the City Engineer.
The roadway network used in this analysis is illustrated in Exhibit 32. Village 8 West will gain
access from Main Street, La Media Road, Otay Valley Road and Magdalena Avenue.
The forecast 2025 volumes include the project traffic and traffic associated with existing and
planned development in Chula Vista, City of San Diego, and County of San Diego. Cumulative
project volumes were forecast using the SANDAG Series 11 South Bay model, which included
straight-lined development assumptions for all other undeveloped or partially developed properties.
Exhibit 33 illustrates the forecasted 2025 peak hour intersection volumes. Forecast 2025 daily
traffic volumes are illustrated in Exhibit 34.

Note: Deficient LOS operation shown in bold 1 A “Direct” project impact occurs if a project meets all three significance criteria; otherwise impacts are identified as “Cumulative. 2According to the City of Chula Vista
significance thresholds, an impact along a deficient roadway segment operating at LOS D or E is considered NOT significant if: the intersections along a roadway segment operate at LOS D or better, the project contributes less
than 800 ADT, or if the project contributes less than 5% total volume.
46
2025 Significant Impacts & Recommended Mitigation Measures
As discussed above, three intersections and five roadway segments are forecast to operate at
deficient levels of service by 2025. Each of the deficient locations were evaluated to determine the
project impact at those locations using the City’s thresholds of significance as outlined previously in
the “Thresholds of Significance” section of this report. The intersections and roadway segments
forecast to operate at deficient LOS are listed below along with the percentage of project trips at
each location:
• Birch Road / La Media Road (13.2%)
• Birch Road / Eastlake Parkway (9.6%)
• Main Street / Eastlake Parkway (10.2%)
• Olympic Parkway: from Heritage Road to La Media Road (4.8%)
from La Media Road to SR-125 (1.2%)
• Birch Road: from La Media Road to SR-125 (20.1%)
• Magdalena Avenue: from Birch Road to Main Street (26.6%)
• Eastlake Parkway: from Birch Road to Main Street (10.2%)
For cumulative impacts, the project would mitigate impacts through payment toward the City-
established TDIF program. Direct impacts need to be fully mitigated by the project.
Access is a requirement of development and a public safety issue (Municipal Code 12.24). Access
related impacts would occur if appropriate access and frontage improvements are not provided as
required.
Table 22 summarizes the project impacts and recommended mitigation measures for each of the
deficient locations, as well as the forecast levels of service without and with the proposed mitigation
for year 2025. All improvements identified as mitigation measures will be bonded or constructed
prior to approval of the Final Map for the associated number of EDU’s identified in Table 22.
Appendix M includes the volume analysis worksheets for Olympic Parkway and Birch Road as well
as the mitigated HCM worksheets. A detailed description of each of the recommended mitigation
measures is provided in the following paragraphs.
Olympic Parkway: From Heritage Road to La Media Road
Olympic Parkway is forecast to operate at LOS F by year 2025 from Heritage Road to La
Media Road. The project traffic is approximately 4.8% of the total traffic on this segment.
Therefore, the project is forecast to have a cumulative impact on Olympic Parkway.
Recommended Mitigation Measure: Payment of TDIF Fees.
Olympic Parkway: La Media Road to SR-125
Olympic Parkway is forecast to operate at LOS D by year 2025 from La Media Road to SR-
125. Intersections along this segment are forecast to operate at acceptable LOS.
Therefore, the project is not forecast to impact this segment and mitigation measures are
not required.
47
Birch Road: From La Media Road to SR-125, and the intersections of Birch Road / La
Media and Birch Road / Eastlake Parkway
Birch Road operates at LOS F under 2025 conditions from La Media Road to SR-125,
including the intersection of Birch Road / La Media Road. The intersection of Birch Road /
Eastlake Parkway is also forecast to operate at LOS F under 2025 conditions. Birch Road
is currently constructed to its Circulation Element classification. Therefore, no capacity
enhancements can be made to Birch Road to offset the impacts.
The construction of Main Street as a six lane Prime arterial between the Village 8 West
eastern boundary and Eastlake Parkway would reduce the demand on Birch Road between
La Media Road and Eastlake Parkway by as much as 40%. This shift in traffic would reduce
the volume on Birch Road to an acceptable level of service, thereby mitigating the impact on
the deficient segment and identified intersections.
Recommended Mitigation Measure: Construct Main Street from existing terminus
east of Village 8 West to Eastlake Parkway, including the overcrossing at SR-125.
The impacted segment of Birch Road from La Media Road to SR-125, and the
intersections of Birch Road / La Media Road and Birch Road / Eastlake Parkway are
directly impacted by the project. Therefore, the project should construct Main Street
between the eastern project boundary and Eastlake Parkway, including the
overcrossing at SR-125. The construction of Main Street between the Village 8
West boundary and Eastlake Parkway would offset the project impacts at the
following locations:
• Birch Road / La Media Road
• Birch Road / Eastlake Parkway
• Birch Road: from La Media Road to SR-125

Magdalena Avenue: From Birch Road to Main Street
Magdalena Avenue operates at LOS F under 2025 conditions from Birch Road to Main
Street.
Recommended Mitigation Measure: Construct Main Street from existing terminus
east of Village 8 West to Eastlake Parkway, including the overcrossing at SR-125.
The construction of Main Street will reduce traffic demand on Magdalena thereby
mitigating the direct project impact of this segment.
Eastlake Parkway: From Birch Road to Main Street including the intersection of Main
Street and Eastlake Parkway
Eastlake Parkway operates at LOS F under 2025 conditions from Birch Road to Main Street.
Eastlake Parkway provides the primary access to future villages on the east side of SR-125.
Recommended Mitigation Measure: Construct Main Street from existing terminus
east of Village 8 West to Eastlake Parkway, including the overcrossing at SR-125.
The construction of Main Street from its existing terminus east of Village 8 West to
Eastlake Parkway including the overcrossing at SR-125 would reduce the traffic
demand on Eastlake Parkway thereby mitigating the identified direct project impact
at the following locations:
• Main Street / Eastlake Parkway
• Eastlake Parkway: from Birch Road to Main Street
50
2030 CONDITIONS
In addition to the developments assumed through 2025, this scenario assumes buildout of Village 8
West to include the construction of a middle school, an additional 60,000 square feet of commercial
retail, and 9.4 acres of park space. This scenario assumes the 2025 mitigated street network.

Note: based on SANDAG, Not So Brief Guide, April 2002 1 Internal Capture Rates provided from ITE Trip Generation Handbook. Internal capture rates vary by each combination of land uses. 2 Transit Reduction Rates provided from SANDAG; a transit reduction of 5% is assumed by project buildout.
The 2030 scenario includes analysis of the forecasted traffic volumes from the SANDAG model run
for year 2030, including anticipated land uses and traffic associated with projects expected to be
constructed by 2030.
The traffic analysis assumes the 2025 mitigated network plus the following:
• Street “A” will be constructed from Main Street to Otay Valley Road as a two-lane Collector
• Construction of Main Street from Heritage Road to La Media Road (constructed by others)
The 2025 mitigated roadway network is required to be constructed prior to the construction of the
first EDU following the 2025 development phase (2,234 EDUs). Any additional development cannot
occur until the 2025 mitigated roadway network is in place. If the project equivalent dwelling unit
exceeds the 2025 development phase (2,234 EDUs) prior to the completion of all of the above-
listed assumed and planned off-site and on-site improvements being constructed and open to
traffic, then one of the following steps shall be taken as determined by the City Engineer:
51
1. Development in Village 8 West will stop until those assumed future roadways are
constructed by others; or
2. City and OLC shall meet to determine the need for the incomplete roadway segments. A
number of factors, including changes to the tolling structure at SR-125, may affect the traffic
patterns in the Otay Ranch. Additional traffic analysis of the roadway network and levels of
service assessment may be necessary to determine if such improvements are necessary
and the scope and timing of additional circulation improvements; or
3. Developer shall construct the missing roadway links and receive TDIF credit for those
improvements as applicable; or
4. An alternative measure is selected by the city in accordance with the city of Chula Vista
Growth Management Ordinance.
5. All to the satisfaction of the City Engineer.
The roadway network used in evaluating the 2030 conditions is illustrated in Exhibit 35. The 2030
roadway network does not represent the City’s ultimate Circulation Element network. The 2030
roadway network lacks a few components of the ultimate infrastructure that is planned in the study
area, and it has been determined that these remaining components of the ultimate roadway network
are not necessary to mitigate the project’s impacts.
Access to Village 8 West will be provided along Main Street, La Media Road, Otay Valley Road,
Street “A” and Magdalena Avenue. Street “A” is not included in the roadway segment analysis as it
is a local street not subject to LOS requirements. Operating conditions of Street “A” and the
associated internal intersections are discussed in the On-Site Street Improvements Phase and
Operational Analysis section provided later in this report.
52
2030 Operational Analysis
The forecast traffic volumes for year 2030 were utilized to evaluate year 2030 operating conditions
at the study intersections and along roadway segments. Exhibit 36 shows 2030 peak hour
intersection volumes. Exhibit 37 illustrates 2030 ADT volumes. Detailed HCM calculation sheets
are contained in Appendix N.
Table 24 summarizes the 2030 a.m. and p.m. peak hour intersection LOS. As shown in Table 24,
the following intersections are forecast to operate at deficient levels of service (LOS E or F) under
2030 conditions:
• Birch Road / La Media Road (a.m. – LOS F, p.m. – LOS F)
• Birch Road / SR-125 Northbound Ramps (a.m. – LOS F)
• Birch Road / Eastlake Parkway (a.m. – LOS F, p.m. – LOS E)

2030 Significant Impacts & Recommended Mitigation
As discussed above, eight intersections and nine roadway segments are forecast to operate at
deficient levels of service by 2030. Each of the deficient locations were evaluated to determine the
project impact at those locations using the City’s thresholds of significance as outlined previously in
the “Thresholds of Significance” section of this report. The intersections and roadway segments
forecast to operate at deficient LOS are listed below along with the percentage of project trips at
each location:
• Birch Road / La Media Road (8.3%)
• Birch Road / SR-125 Northbound Ramps (6.4%)
• Birch Road / Eastlake Parkway (10.7%)
• Main Street / 805 Southbound Ramps (4.2%)

For cumulative impacts, the project would mitigate impacts through payment toward the City-
established TDIF program. Direct impacts need to be fully mitigated by the project.
Access is a requirement of development and a public safety issue (Municipal C ode 12.24). Access
related impacts would occur if appropriate access and frontage improvements are not provided as
required.
Table 26 summarizes the recommended mitigation measures for each of the identified impacts, as
well as the forecast levels of service without and with the proposed mitigation for year 2030. All
improvements identified as project mitigation shall be bonded or constructed prior to approval of the
Final Map for the associated number of EDU’s identified in Table 26.
Table 27 provides a comprehensive summary of all study area intersection operating conditions for
the year 2030 with the mitigation measures summarized in Table 26. Roadway segment operating
conditions for all study segments in year 2030 with mitigation are summarized in Table 28.
56
Appendix O includes the mitigated HCM worksheets. The following paragraphs summarize the
recommended mitigation measures for the year 2030 conditions. The mitigated roadway network
and daily traffic volumes are provided in Exhibit 38. Peak hour volumes for the mitigated
conditions are illustrated in Exhibit 39.
Olympic Parkway: East of Hunte Parkway
Olympic Parkway east of Hunte Parkway is forecast to operate at LOS D by year 2030.
Intersection operational analysis along this segment shows that the signalized intersections
operate at LOS D or better. Therefore, the project has no impact on this segment and no
mitigation measures are recommended.
Birch Road: From La Media Road to SR-125 and from SR-125 to Eastlake Parkway
including the intersections of Birch Road / La Media Road, Birch Road / SR-125 NB
Ramps and Birch Road / Eastlake Parkway
Birch Road operates at LOS F under 2030 conditions from La Media Road to Eastlake
Parkway. Birch Road is currently constructed to its Circulation Element classification.
Therefore, no capacity enhancements can be made to Birch Road to offset the impacts.
Recommended Mitigation Measure: Construct Main Street / SR-125 Ramps
Traffic volumes along Birch Road exceed the available capacity primarily due to the
demand for access to SR-125 ramps. Therefore, the construction of northbound
and southbound ramps to SR-125 at Main Street will reduce the demand on Birch
Road between La Media Road and Eastlake Parkway. This shift in traffic would
reduce the volume on Birch Road to an acceptable level of service, thereby
mitigating the impact on the deficient segments. Providing ramps at Main Street
would relieve traffic along Birch Road and mitigates the impacts at the following
locations:
• Birch Road / La Media Road
• Birch Road / SR-125 Northbound Ramps
• Birch Road / Eastlake Parkway
• Birch Road: from La Media Road to SR-125
from SR-125 to Eastlake Parkway
Main Street: Intersections of Main Street / La Media Road (Couplet), Main Street /
Magdalena Avenue and Main Street Eastlake Parkway
Main Street is forecast to operate at an acceptable LOS by year 2030. However,
intersections along Main Street through this segment operate at LOS E or F. The high
demand of traffic and deficient operating conditions are due to a high demand of east-west
traffic across SR-125 and heavy turning movements at these intersections. The high
demand stems from limited access to development south of Main Street. Village 8 West,
Village 8 East and Village 9 must cross SR-125 at Main Street or points north of Main Street
to travel between villages. Although improvements to the intersections could be made to
57
offset the impacts, the circulation between villages would be improved if a secondary
connection was made between villages.
Recommended Mitigation Measure: Construct Otay Valley Road from Village 8
West eastern boundary to Village 9 Street ”A” including the overcrossing at SR-125
Constructing Otay Valley Road as a four-lane Major from Village 8 West eastern
boundary to Village 9 including the bridge over SR-125 would relieve traffic along
Main Street, reduce turning movements at key intersections. This improvement
would mitigate the impacts at the following locations:
• Main Street / La Media Road Couplet
• Main Street / Magdalena
• Main Street / Eastlake Parkway
Main Street: From I-805 to Brandywine Avenue, including Main Street / I-805 NB Ramp
and Main Street / I-805 SB Ramp Intersections
Main Street is forecast to operate at LOS D by year 2030 from I-805 to Brandywine Road.
Based on the project volume at this location, the segment is forecast to be directly impacted
by the project as well as the intersections at the Main Street/ I-805 interchange.
Construction of the Main Street Ramps at SR-125 will reduce the demand on the I-805
ramps, thereby mitigating the impact at this location.
Recommended Mitigation Measure: Construct Main Street / SR-125 Ramps
Construct northbound and southbound ramps to provide access to SR -125 from
Main Street. Providing ramps at Main Street would mitigate the impacts at the
following locations:
• Main Street / I-805 Northbound Ramps
• Main Street / I-805 Southbound Ramps
• Main Street: from I-805 to Brandywine Avenue
58
Main Street: From Brandywine Avenue to Heritage Road
Main Street is forecast to operate at LOS D by year 2030 from I-805 to Brandywine
Road. Based on the project volume at this location, the segment is forecast to be
directly impacted by the project. Construction of the Main Street Ramps at SR-125 is
forecast to reduce the demand on Main Street from Brandywine Avenue to Heritage
Road.
Recommended Mitigation Measure: Construct Main Street / SR-125 Ramps
Construct northbound and southbound ramps to provide access to SR -125 from
Main Street. Providing ramps at Main Street would relieve traffic demand along
Main Street from Brandywine Avenue to Heritage Road.
Heritage Road: From Telegraph Canyon Road to Olympic Parkway
Heritage Road is forecast to operate at LOS D by year 2030 from Telegraph Canyon Road
to Olympic Parkway. Intersection operational analysis shows that the signalized
intersections along this segment operate at LOS D or better. Therefore, the project has no
impact on this segment and no mitigation measures are recommended.
Heritage Road: Main Street to Avenida de las Vistas
Heritage Road is forecast to operate at LOS E from Main Street to Entertainment Circle and
LOS D from Entertainment Circle to Avenida de las Vistas by year 2030. The project adds
less than 5% of the total traffic to this segment resulting in a cumulative impact.
Recommended Mitigation Measure: Payment of TDIF Fees
Magdalena Avenue: Birch Road to Main Street
Magdalena Avenue is not a circulation element road and is not subject to General Plan LOS
thresholds. The analysis shows that in 2030, Magdalena Avenue is forecast to operate at
LOS D. According to the city’s thresholds of significance, segments operating at LOS D or E
are not impacted by a project if the intersections along the segment operate at LOS D or
better. As shown in the analysis, mitigated construction of Otay Valley Road from Village 8
West eastern boundary to Village 9 Street “A” including the overcrossing at SR-125 reduces
through traffic volumes on Main Street. This improves the operation of the intersection at
Main/Magdalena to LOS D or better. Therefore this segment is not impacted by the project
under mitigated 2030 conditions.
Eastlake Parkway: Birch Road to Main Street
Eastlake Parkway is forecast to operate at LOS D from Birch Road to Main Street by year
2030. The project adds less than 5% of the total traffic to this segment resulting in a
cumulative impact.
Recommended Mitigation Measure: Payment of TDIF Fees

ANALYSIS OF CALTRANS FACILITIES
Freeway Mainline Segment Analysis
Segments of northbound and southbound I-805 between Telegraph Canyon Road and Main Street
were analyzed under 2030 Without and With Project conditions using the 2000 HCS Basic Freeway
Segment analysis methodology, which is the methodology supported by the City of Chula Vista.
Mainline segment volumes are based on SANDAG forecast 2030 ADT. A 4% heavy truck factor
was applied in addition to a measured free-flow speed of 65 mph was used in the HCS calculations
for multi-lane segments.
The results of the freeway segment level of service are shown in Table 29. HCS worksheets used
to calculate the freeway segments are included in Appendix P to this report.
The acceptable LOS for freeways is generally LOS D. As shown in Table 29, the freeway mainline
segments operate at acceptable levels of service (LOS D or better) under 2030 Without and With
Project conditions except for I-805 Northbound between Main Street and Telegraph Canyon Road,
which is forecast to operate at LOS E during the PM Peak Hour. According to the City of Chula
Vista Traffic Study Guidelines, a significant project impact is identified if a project adds 1 mph speed
delay or greater to a segment operating at LOS D, E, or F. The results of the 2030 With Project
mainline segment analysis demonstrate a change in delay (Average Passenger Car Speed) less
than 1 mph for each study segment. Therefore, no direct impacts are identified.

Intersection Lane Volume (ILV) Analysis
Caltrans requires that an Intersection Lane Volume (ILV) analysis be conducted for all state-owned
facilities that may be impacted by a proposed project. As this project is located near the ramp to I-
805, the ILV method was conducted for the interchanges within the project study area.
Table 30 summarizes the results of the ILV analysis. ILV Calculation worksheets are provided in
Appendix Q. The results of the analysis for 2030 Without and With Project conditions show that
the peak hour volumes during the a.m. and p.m. peak hours exceed the threshold for the “unstable”
flow classification at Main Street/I-805 Northbound Ramps. Under With Project conditions, Main
Street/I-805 Southbound Ramps is also forecast to exceed the threshold for “unstable” conditions.
Traffic conditions that experience “unstable” flow usually experience considerable delays during the
morning and evening peak hours. I-805 Northbound and Southbound Ramps at Main Street are
forecast to operate at “Capacity” conditions, according to the Caltrans ILV thresholds. The
“Capacity” condition consists of stop-and-go operations with severe delay and heavy congestion.

PUBLIC FACILITIES FINANCING PROGRAM (PFFP)
A Public Facilities Financing Program (PFFP) report is required for developments in the Otay Ranch
according to the City’s Growth Management Program. A separate document will be prepared to
assess all elements of the PFFP, however the information provided in this section outlines the
specific traffic related thresholds for each phase of development that will trigger the need for future
roadway and/or intersection improvements in the City. This analysis is based on the planning
assumptions used in this traffic report to evaluate the impacts of development in five year
increments. These improvements are based on both the Growth Management Program thresholds
and the CEQA thresholds for determining project impacts.
Growth Management Ordinance
Olympic Parkway is forecast to operate at a deficient LOS by year 2015 based on the standard
volume to capacity ratio methodology. As a part of the City’s Growth Management Program, an
expanded traffic analysis was prepared to determine if GMOC thresholds for Olympic Parkway are
projected to be reached or exceeded, and whether mitigation measures are necessary to remain
compliant with the requirements of the Growth Management Program.
Recent GMOC traffic studies have indicated that the segment of westbo und Olympic Parkway
between Heritage Road and Oleander Avenue during the a.m. peak hours would be the first to fall
below City Growth Management Traffic threshold standards as traffic volumes increase over time
with this project and other projects east of I-805. In conformance with the requirements of the
Growth Management Program, a peak-hour arterial analysis was conducted on the segment of
westbound Olympic Parkway between Heritage Road and Oleander Avenue under near -term
conditions (Years 0-4) based on the City of Chula Vista’s TMP methodology. The Chula Vista TMP
is used to assess the operating performance of the City’s arterial street system in order to
determine compliance with the Threshold Standards of the Growth Management Program.
At the time this study was completed, the GMOC thresholds of 2,463 EDU’s was not forecast to be
exceeded by the year 2015. Therefore, the project is not forecast to have a significant impact on
Olympic Parkway based on the forecast findings of this study. However, the City will continue to
monitor to actual performance of Olympic Parkway on an annual or bi-annual basis. In the event
the GMOC threshold of LOS D for a period of 2 hours, the city shall stop issuing new building
permits for Village 8 West.
Therefore, development of Village 8 West may be suspended if either of two conditions occur:
1. Building permits for a total of 2,463 dwelling units (DU) have been issued for projects east of
I-805 or,
2. An alternative measure is selected by the city in accordance with the city of Chula Vista
Growth Management Ordinance.
The start date for counting the 2,463 dwelling units is April 4, 2011. Notwithstanding the foregoing,
the City may issue building permits to Village 8 West if the City determines in its sole discretion that
69
either traffic studies demonstrate to the satisfaction of the City Engineer, that the circulation system
has additional capacity without exceeding the GMOC traffic threshold standards; other
improvements are constructed which provide additional necessary capacity; or the City selects an
alternative method of implementing the GMOC standards.
CEQA Thresholds of Significance and Mitigation
Cumulative impacts and direct impacts identified in the traffic report will be fully mitigated by the
project. Direct impacts will be mitigated through the construction of specifically identified projects.
Cumulative impacts are mitigated through the payment of TDIF fees. TDIF fees paid by the project
are not directly tied to any one road or intersection improvement project. However, it is reasonable
to assume that as TDIF fees are collected by this project and others, new roads and intersections
will be constructed over time. Therefore, year 2025 and 2030 include road improvements that are
assumed to be constructed through the TDIF program.
If the project EDU limit for each study year (2015, 2020, 2025, & 2030) is reached prior to one of the
assumed roadway or intersection improvements is constructed and open to traffic, then one of the
following steps must need to be taken:
1. Development in Village 8 West will stop until those assumed future roadways are
constructed by others; or
2. City and OLC shall meet to determine the need for the incomplete roadway segments.
Additional traffic analysis of the roadway network and levels of service assessment may be
necessary to determine if such improvements are necessary and the scope and timing of
additional circulation improvements; or
3. Developer shall construct the missing roadway links and receive TDIF credit for those
improvements; or
4. An alternative measure is selected by the city in accordance with the city of Chula Vista
Growth Management Ordinance.
5. All to the satisfaction of the City Engineer.
Project Access and Frontage Phasing
Village 8 West will be constructed in a series of phases. With each phase of development, internal
roadways will be constructed to support not only the traffic associated with that phase, but also the
public works infrastructure such as water and sewer service. Although the project has been
evaluated in five year increments based on phasing illustrated previously in Exhibit 25, the
development of Village 8 West will occur based on market demands and other external factors. As
this project is not currently connected to the circulation system or public works infrastructure, a
logical progression of on-site improvements has been designed from the north end of the property
to the south end of the property. Table 34 summarizes the phasing of on-site street improvements
within Village 8 West.

ON-SITE OPERATIONAL ANALYSIS
Traffic control devices for internal and external road connections were determined based on traffic
demand and project phasing. Exhibit 40 illustrates the proposed intersection geometry and
proposed traffic control devices for each of the internal intersections and traffic control devices for
roads connecting the project to the external circulation network.
Operational analysis of all intersections where the project connects to the roadway network was
conducted for the year 2030. Forecast year 2030 traffic volumes for the project intersections are
illustrated in Exhibit 41. Table 35 summarizes the results of the operational analysis of the key
project intersections. As shown in Table 35, all intersections are forecast to operate at acceptable
levels of service.

For each of the proposed signalized intersections, a preliminary traffic signal warrant analysis was
conducted to demonstrate that, by year 2030, traffic signals would be appropriately placed at these
intersections. The traffic signal warrant analysis was conducted based on the California Manual on
Uniform Traffic Control Devices (MUTCD) planning level warrant which uses daily traffic volume as
a threshold for analysis. Table 36 provides the forecast daily traffic volume for the intersections
where traffic signals are warranted along with the thresholds established in the MUTCD. As shown,
all proposed traffic signal locations meet the minimum traffic signal warrants by year 2030. The
volumes used in this analysis are the forecast year 2030 mitigated cond itions which include the
Otay Valley Road connection over SR-125 and the Main Street interchange at SR-125.
It should be noted that during interim years, the traffic signals may not be warranted. As an interim
traffic control measure stop signs may be a more appropriate traffic control device until the traffic on
the side street or along the major street approaches the thresholds identified in Table 36. The
appropriate traffic control device should be determined during each phase of construction based on
traffic volume, connections to the overall circulation system and other factors.

MULTIMODAL ACCESS ANALYSIS
Village 8 West will be accessible by both local circulation bus service and Rapid Bus Service
provided by MTS. The Rapid Bus route is proposed to serve Main Street and circulate through
eastern Chula Vista.
Class II bicycle facilities are planned along all circulation element roadways through Village 8 West.
Roadways internal to the Village are designed to local street standards with speed limits of 25 to 30
mph. Slow traffic speeds are conducive to bicycling and provide the necessary linkage the regional
bicycle circulation network.
Sidewalks will be provided throughout Village 8 West and will include bulb-outs at key locations to
reduce pedestrian crossing distances. With pedestrian scale development, wide sidewalks and
slower traffic speeds, the community and roadways are designed to provide a comfortable walking
environment.
74
CONSTRUCTION ACTIVITY
Construction of the project will occur in several phases. During grading of the site, it is anticipated
that cut and fill will be balanced on-site; therefore, there will be limited need to haul material to or
from the site. Material will be screened on-site, thereby reducing the need to remove materials from
the site during construction activity. Material hauled to the site for backfill material and road
construction will be provided from the existing quarry located within Village 4. Therefore, most if not
all material hauling will occur within the Otay Ranch reducing the sphere of potential construction
impacts.
As evaluated in the TIA, the Village 8 West project is forecast to generate between 3,000 trips per
day (2015 analysis) and 26,100 trips per day (2030 analysis) when fully occupied. During the
development of Village 8 West, typical construction activity will occur including the grading and
construction of new roads, grading of lots and parks, utility installation and construction of new
structures. Initially, traffic generated by Village 8 West will be construction traffic. Typical
construction traffic will include:
• Grading Operations – Up to 30 Workers
• Underground Utility Construction – Up to 10 Workers
• Builders (2-3 builders constructing at one time) – Up to 100 Workers
Assuming each worker drives to and from the jobsite in their own personal vehicle, and
approximately 50% of them leave the site once a day for lunch, materials, meetings, etc, the trip
generation rate per construction worker is approximately 3 trips per day with one trip occurring the
a.m. peak and one trip occurring in the p.m. peak. Based on the average number of workers on a
jobsite, as described above, the average daily trip generation would 420 trips per day with 140 trips
occurring in the a.m. peak and 140 occurring during the p.m. peak.
As project traffic increases due to the completion of various phases of the project, the construction
traffic will gradually decrease. At any given time during the project, the number of construction staff
on site on a given day will vary and will extend over a period of several years. Table 37 compares
the forecast construction related traffic to the forecast traffic generation at each phase of the project.

P.M. Peak Outbound 112 91 498 878 1,115
75
As shown, the construction traffic is less than the net increase in traffic for each five year increment.
The peak volumes are greater inbound in the a.m. peak and outbound in the p.m. peak when the
construction traffic is compared to the year 2015 traffic. Throughout this study, the project
generated traffic was evaluated against the existing and mitigated roadway networks to determine
the impacts associated with the development of this Village. Since the traffic associated with the
development of the site exceed the volume of traffic generated during construction, the impacts
identified in this study for each study year would more than exceed the potential impacts associated
with construction related traffic.
The findings of this study show that all impacts associated with the project will be fully mitigated with
the project. Although the construction traffic may occur prior to and/or during the construction of
mitigation measures, the construction impacts will be temporary. Therefore, it is reasonable to state
that construction traffic to and from the site would not result in any unidentified impacts.
