in
2008,
a
publication
that
provides
nationally-studied
trip
generation
rates
derived
from
surveys
for
a
variety
of
land
uses.
Trip
distribution
estimates
for
proposed
Baylands
development
were
derived
from
several
reputable
sources,
including
the
MTC
Regional
Travel
Demand
Model,
the
Candlestick/Hunters
Point
EIR
,
the
Bay
Area
Travel
Survey
2000,
the
C/CAG
Travel
Demand
Model,
and
the
San

Analysis
Guidelines
to
ensure
the
applicability
of
trip
generation
and
distribution
estimates
to
proposed
Baylands
development
within
the
City
of
Brisbane.
As
stated
on
page
4.N-74
of
the
Draft
EIR,
trip
distribution
was
derived
from
several
reputable
sources,
including
the
MTC
Regional
Travel
Demand
Model,
the
Candlestick/Hunters
Point
EIR
,
the
Bay
Area
Travel
Survey
2000,
the
C/CAG
Travel

and

Mode
split
calculations
were
refined
to
differentiate
between
work
and
non-work
trip
purposes.
They
were
applied
uniformly
to
the
aggregate
external
trips,
regardless
of
destination.
Further
refinement
of
mode
split
could
result
in
variations,
both
higher
and
lower,
of
walk/bike/other
trip
percentages
to
specific
destinations;
however
the
uniform
approach
is
appropriate
for
the
project-level
analysis
and
further
disaggregation
would
not
have
substantive
effect
on
the
traffic
impact
analysis
conducted
for
the
Draft
EIR.
As
stated
on
page
4.N-84
of
the
Draft
EIR,
approximately
2,267
vehicles
would
arrive
for
the
arena
event
during
the
PM
peak
hour
of
5:00
PM
to
6:00
PM.
The
intersection
operation
impact
results
are
presented
for
Existing

with
Sold-Out
Arena
Event
in
Table
4.N-27
and
for
Cumulative

in
Table

Highway
segment
LOS
analysis
is
an
important
component
for
the
sold-out
arena
scenario,
and
has
now
been
included
on
Tables
4.N-28,
4.N-33,
and
included
in
the
discussions
for
the
sold-out
arena
scenarios
under
existing
conditions
on
page
4.N-105
and
under
Cumulative
conditions
on
page
4.N-125.
Impacts
of
special
event
traffic
are
provided
in
the
Draft
EIR
starting
on
page
4.N-126.
Impacts
of
sold
out
events
were
determined
to
be
significant
and
unavoidable.
The
intersection
operation
impact
results
are
presented
for
Existing

with
Sold-Out
