A. Reports
Generally, traffic reports will be submitted under separate cover in an acceptable 8-1/2 x 11 inch format. Reports are generally typewritten with diagrams for traffic distribution assignment or intersection analysis. The report needs to be properly identified and related to the project by reference to the Review of Plan Number, Tract Number, CUP number, Parcel Map, variance or other identifying City reference numbers in addition to the project description.
The report must be signed by a Registered Civil Engineer and carry the seal and original signature of the engineer preparing the report and taking responsibility for the information contained therein.
A preliminary review with the City Traffic Engineer is encouraged. Focused reports may be justified but must be coordinated with the City Traffic Engineer on larger projects or those that wish to use the Tranplan model.
In general, the following should be included in the report:
a Identification of project and reference to city identification numbers such as CUP, RP or Tract.
b Seal and original signature of engineer preparing report and taking responsibility for the report.
c Executive summary of the project and report contents. This should be one half page or less.
d Identification of existing traffic and transportation system and level of service.
e Traffic to be generated by development.

g Identified impacts on transportation system from any source. Identify degradation of system below level of service C.
h Mitigation measures recommended to address impacts of the development or development plus background growth.
i Conclusion which covers the alternatives of no project, project with existing traffic and project with existing traffic and background growth.
