Site
development,
described
on
page
4.N.68,
would
be
to
provide
a
shuttle
connecting
the
Baylands
site
with
Executive
Park,
the
housing
development
on
the
Schlage
Lock
site,
and
the
Balboa
Park
BART
Station.
As
discussed
in
1,
the
Baylands
EIR
provides
program-level
analyses.
Detailed
route
and
service
planning
for
project
specific
transit
features
does
not
yet
exist
at
the
programmatic
level
of
analysis
undertaken
in
this
EIR.
This
detail,
and
ultimate
timing,
would
likely
result
from
a
developer
agreement.
Although
the
existing
Recology
solid
waste
transfer
facility
is
a
unique
use
and
is
not
subject
to
traditional
TDM
requirements,
Recology
offers
a
commuter
benefit
program
to
its
employees
that
includes
participation
in
the
Executive
Park/BART
Shuttle
which
is
utilized
by
a
small
number
of
mechanics.
However,
most
employees
arrive
between
5:00
AM
and
6:00
AM,
and
most
vehicle
trips
are
sanitation/recycle
truck
pickup/drop
off,
which
would
not
apply
to
a
TDM
program.
The
100
net
new
peak-hour
vehicle
trips
for
the
site
is
a
threshold
for
analysis
and
the
requirement
to
implement
TDM
programs,
not
a
representation
of
traffic
associated
with
development
on
the
Baylands.

for
discussion
of
C/CAG’s
San
Mateo
County
Congestion
Management
Plan
.
Actual
peak
hour
traffic
generation
in
both
AM
and
PM
peak
hours
would
be
substantially
higher
under
each
development
scenario
(see
In
regard
to
calculating
increased
traffic
due
to
Project
Site
development,
there
are
standard
methods
set
forth
by
the
Institute
of
Transportation
Engineers’
(ITE)
Trip
Generation
Handbook
to
calculate
trip
generation
by
general
land
use
type.
The
trip
generation
estimates
for
proposed
Baylands
development
follows
these
standards,
and
also
account
for
internal
capture
of
trips
within
the
Baylands.
See
for
discussion
regarding
internal
capture
of
trips
within
the
Baylands.
The
14,800
residential
units
proposed
for
adjacent
development
in
San
Francisco
and
Daly
City
are
included
in
the
cumulative
conditions
analysis.
See
for
further
description
of
how
the
cumulative
baseline
conditions
were
developed.
Impacts
and
required
mitigation
measures
for
proposed
Baylands
development
were
analyzed
and
formulated
in
recognition
of
future
cumulative
increases
in
traffic
from
surrounding
development.
While
analysis
of
cumulative
projects
is
included
in
the
EIR,
proposed
Project
Site
development
is
only
responsible
for
mitigating
its
incremental
contribution
to
any
cumulative
impacts.
