Subject: Revised Trip Generation Analysis and Queuing Evaluation for the
proposed Starbucks with Drive-Through at Gonzalez Plaza
Addendum Analysis
Anaheim, California
Dear Mr. Middleton:
Linscott, Law & Greenspan, Engineers (LLG) is pleased to submit this Trip
Generation Analysis and Queuing Evaluation for the proposed Starbucks with drive-
through (hereinafter referred to as “Project”) at Gonzalez Plaza, an existing
neighborhood shopping center located east of East Street, west of Briarwood Street,
and south of Romneya Drive, in the City of Anaheim. This addendum report was
updated to address comments of the City’s Planning Commission as expressed during
the meeting of November 6, 2023. This revised report assesses the traffic
implications associated with prohibiting outbound left-turn movements for the
Project’s existing easterly full access driveway on East Street due to the off-set
alignment in relation to Balsam Avenue.
The proposed Project includes the construction of a 1,200 square-foot (SF) coffee
shop with drive-through located on a 0.71±acre parcel of land on the northern part of
the retail center. The Project will be constructed in place of a 5,096 SF retail building
now occupied by Solo 98 Cent Store.
This letter summarizes the Project traffic characteristics and potential requirement of
a focused traffic (LOS) study per the current City of Anaheim Criteria for Preparation
of Traffic Impact Studies. We understand that the Trip Generation Analysis will satisfy
the City’s Non-CEQA Traffic Analysis Requirement, which is required as part of the
entitlement/approval process for the proposed Project. Further, in response to City
Traffic Engineering comments, an assessment of the Project’s added volumes to the
Briarwood Street driveway has been prepared.

PROJECT LOCATION
Gonzalez Plaza is an existing neighborhood shopping center with a total floor area of
26,460 SF that is anchored by Northgate Market and includes a variety of retail/
commercial and restaurant uses. The subject property is a 2.176±acre rectangular-
shaped parcel of land located east of East Street, west of Briarwood Street, and south of
Romneya Drive, and addressed at 1140 - 1190 N. East Street, in the City of Anaheim.
The existing shopping center has two full-access driveways located along East Street,
identified as Project Driveways No. 1 and No. 2, as well as full access driveways on
Romneya Drive and Briarwood Street, referred to as Project Driveways No. 3 and No.
4, respectively. The existing parking supply at Gonzalez Plaza now totals 114 spaces.
Figure 1, located at the rear of this letter report, presents a Vicinity Map, which
illustrates the general location of Gonzales Plaza and the surrounding street system.
Figure 2 is an existing aerial photograph of the Project site within the existing
shopping center, which also identifies the Project Driveways noted above.
PROJECT DESCRIPTION
The Project will be located on a 0.71±acre parcel of land on the northern part of the
retail center that is currently developed with an existing 5,096 SF retail building,
occupied by Solo 98 Cent Store, and surface parking with 45 spaces. The proposed
Project includes demolition of the existing retail building and development of a new
1,200 SF coffee shop with drive-through and surface parking with 32 spaces to be
operated by Starbucks. Upon completion of the Project, Gonzalez Plaza is proposed to
have a total floor area of 22,564 SF and a parking supply of 103 spaces.
Visitors to the proposed Starbucks have two (2) options with respect to service: (1)
customers can park their vehicle and order at the walk-up window and depart (no
outdoor patio area is planned) and (2) customers can access the site primarily from
East Street and enter the drive-through lane in a counterclockwise manner.
Secondary access to the drive-through lane would be provided via the existing
driveway on Briarwood Street
Figure 3 presents the proposed Project site plan that highlights the location of the
proposed Starbucks within the existing center. As shown on Figure 3, approximately
18 vehicles can be accommodated within the drive-through lane, consisting of 11
vehicles before reaching the order/menu board, and 7 vehicles between the
order/menu board and the pick-up window.
Primary access to the Project site will continue to be provided via the existing
driveways on East Street, with secondary access provided via the existing driveway on

Briarwood Street; the existing driveway on Romneya Drive will be closed with the
development of the Project.
Based on comments provided at the City Planning Commission meeting of November 6,
2023, the Commission expressed concerns with the added project volumes at Project
Driveway No. 1 for the westbound (outbound) left-turn movement because it may
increase conflicts with the eastbound left-turn movement from Balsam Avenue as well
as through traffic along East Street. As such, this addendum analysis evaluates the
potential traffic implications with the Project restricting the westbound outbound
movements at Project Driveway No. 1 to right-turn only (no outbound left-turn).
DRIVE-THROUGH LANE QUEUING EVALUATION
For this evaluation, existing Starbucks queuing data was used to determine the drive-
thru stacking requirements of the proposed Project. As part of a recent queuing study
for a similar Project, and to estimate drive-thru queue storage length requirements for
proposed Starbucks, queue observations were conducted at the existing Starbucks
located at:
Harbor & 91 Fwy Store# 23316 (1224 N. Harbor Boulevard, Anaheim)
Queuing observations were collected on Wednesday, September 29, 2021, Thursday,
September 30, 2021, and Friday, October 1, 2021. The time periods selected for each
survey date were 7:00 AM to 9:00 AM, 11:00 AM to 1:00 PM, and 4:00 PM to 7:00
PM.
The vehicular queues observed at this site were recorded at 1-minute intervals
between; 1) the drive-thru entrance and the order board; and 2) the order board and
the pick-up window. The results of the survey are included in Appendix A along with
the existing aerial map for existing Starbucks located at 1224 N. Harbor Boulevard.
Table 1, attached, presents the drive-through queue observation results for each of the
three survey dates, indicating the number of vehicles in queue, and the number of
occurrences each queue length was observed.
Our evaluation of this data indicates that on average, a queue of 6 vehicles in the
drive-through lane can be expected, with an 85th percentile queue of approximately
10 vehicles and a 95th percentile queue of approximately 11 vehicles, and a 100th
percentile or maximum queue of 14 vehicles. The 85th queue represents the number
of vehicles that can be expected in the drive-through lane during the peak period, and
indicates that 85 percent of the drive-through customers will wait in a line no longer
than 10 vehicles; 15 percent of the customers will wait in a queue of 11 cars or more.

Whereas the 95th queue indicates that 95 percent of the drive-through customers will
wait in a line no longer than 11 vehicles; 5 percent of the customers will wait in a
queue of 12 cars or more. Please note that the 85th percentile “criteria” is the design
standard typically used in the traffic engineering profession.
According to Starbucks, drive-through transactions that were generated during the
surveys are comparable to pre-Covid conditions, and likely to be greater than before
since more customers are now choosing to use the drive-thru instead of going inside
the café.
The results of our queuing study indicate that the distance between the proposed entry
of the drive-through lane and the Cashier/Product Delivery Booth (window) of the
Starbucks café is of sufficient length and can accommodate the peak stacking
requirements of proposed Starbucks. Figure 4 illustrates where the average queue of
6 vehicles, the 85th percentile queue of 10 vehicles, the 95th percentile queue of 11
vehicles, and the 100th percentile or maximum queue of 14 vehicles would be located
within the proposed drive-thru lane for the Project.
As shown in Figure 4, the drive-through lane for the proposed Project has a storage
capacity of eighteen (18) vehicles without encroaching into the drive aisle. As such,
the drive-through lane is expected to fully accommodate the projected Project
maximum queue length of fourteen (14) vehicles, with an excess storage capacity to
accommodate an additional four (4) vehicles. Therefore, the Project’s expected drive-
through queue can be accommodated without interfering with internal circulation or
causing congestion in the drive aisle.
PROJECT TRAFFIC ASSESSMENT
PROJECT TRIP GENERATION
Traffic generation is expressed in vehicle trip ends, defined as one-way vehicular
movements, either entering or exiting the generating land use. Generation factors
and/or equations used in this analysis are based on information found in the 11th
Edition of Trip Generation, published by the Institute of Transportation Engineers
(ITE) [Washington, D.C., 2021].
Table 2, attached, summarizes the trip generation rates used in forecasting the
vehicular trips generated by the Existing Land Use and the proposed Project and also
presents the proposed Project’s forecast peak hour and daily traffic volumes.
Given the current retail tenant of the existing retail building and the Project
description, the trip generation potential of the Existing Land Use and proposed

N:\4600\2234635 - Starbucks at Gonzalez Plaza, Anaheim\Letters\4635 Revised Starbuck with Drive-Thru at Gonzalez Plaza TS, Anaheim 12-6-2023.doc
Project have been estimated using the average trip rates for the following land uses,
as shown in the upper half of Table 2:
ITE Land Use Code 814: Variety Store
ITE Land Use Code 937: Coffee Donut Shop with Drive Through Window
Net new Project trips were calculated by subtracting the trip generation of the
Existing Land Use from the Project trip generation.
For the Existing Land Use, a review of the middle portion of this table indicates that
the existing retail use has a trip generation potential of 324 daily trips, with 15 trips (8
inbound, 7 outbound) produced in the AM peak hour and 34 trips (17 inbound, 17
outbound) produced in the PM peak hour on a typical weekday. After applying pass-
by reductions, the existing retail use generates a net of 12 daily trips, with 15 trips
produced in the AM peak hour and 22 net trips produced in the PM peak hour on a
typical weekday.
The lower half of Table 2 indicates that the proposed Project is forecast to generate
640 daily trips, with 103 trips (53 inbound, 50 outbound) produced in the AM peak
hour and 47 trips (24 inbound, 23 outbound) produced in the PM peak hour on a
typical weekday. With the adjustment for pass-by traffic, the proposed Starbucks is
forecast to generate 563 net daily trips, with 52 net trips produced in the AM peak
hour and 21 net trips produced in the PM peak hour on a typical weekday.
Based on common traffic engineering practices, the traffic generated by the Existing
Land Use represents a “trip budget” for the Project site, against which the impact of the
proposed Project might be compared.
As shown in the last row of Table 2, a comparison of the proposed Project’s total trip
generation to that of the Existing Land Use indicates that the Project will result in 316
more daily trips, 88 more AM peak hour trips and 13 more PM peak hour trips. The
net difference in trips results in the Project generating 251 more daily trips, 37 more
AM peak hour trips and 1 fewer PM peak hour trip.
Given the proposed Project would result in the addition (gross or net) of fewer than 100
peak hour trips during the AM peak hour and PM peak hour, a focused traffic (LOS)
study would not be required, subject to confirmation by City staff, based on the
requirements outlined in the current City of Anaheim Criteria for Preparation of Traffic
Impact Studies.

PROJECT TRIP DISTRIBUTION AND ASSIGNMENT
Figure 5 illustrates the trip distribution for the proposed Project. The general,
directional traffic distribution pattern for the proposed Project, both entering and
exiting the project site have been distributed and assigned to the adjacent street
system based on the following considerations:
location of site access points in relation to the surrounding street system,
the site's proximity to major traffic carriers and regional access routes,
physical characteristics of the circulation system such as lane channelization
and presence of traffic signals that affect travel patterns,
ingress/egress availability at the site, recognizing that the existing driveway
on Romneya Drive will be closed with the Project, and outbound left-turn
movements at Project Driveway No. 1 will be prohibited, and
existing driveway utilization as determined based on the collection of
weekday AM peak hour and PM peak hour traffic counts.
Figures 6 and 7 present the existing AM peak hour and PM peak hour traffic volumes
at the Project site’s four (4) existing driveways based on traffic counts collected on
Thursday, June 15, 2023, by Counts Unlimited, Inc, respectively. Appendix B
contains copies of the traffic count sheets for the Project driveways.
Figures 8 and 9 present the Project’s added vehicle traffic at the site driveways
during the AM peak hour and PM peak hour, respectively. The traffic volume
assignments presented in Figures 8 and 9 reflect the traffic distribution characteristics
shown in Figure 5 and the traffic generation forecast presented in the lower portion of
Table 2.
EXISTING PLUS PROJECT TRAFFIC VOLUME CONDITIONS
The existing plus project traffic conditions have been generated based upon existing
conditions and estimated traffic generated from the proposed Project, inclusive the
proposed closure of the existing site driveway on Romneya Drive, the restriction of
left-turns out at Project Driveway No. 1 on East Street, and re-distribution of existing
site generated traffic, that is to be completed as a part of the Project development.
These forecast traffic conditions have been prepared in response to City staff
comments to assess the potential impact of the proposed closure of the Romneya
Drive on the operating conditions of the other site driveways and the restriction of
left-turns out at Project Driveway No. 1 on East Street, in particular the Briarwood
Street driveway. This traffic volume scenario and the driveway level of service
(LOS) analyses will identify the potential impact of the Project, if any.

Figures 10 and 11 present existing AM and PM peak hour traffic volumes at the site
driveways associated with the 5,096 SF retail building that will be removed with
implementation of the Project, respectively.
Figures 12 and 13 present AM and PM peak hour driveway volumes for the tenant
mix that will continue to operate at the site and without traffic generated by the Solo
98+ Store, respectively. For the remaining traffic that uses Romneya Drive access,
Figures 14 and 15 identify the “Baseline Traffic Conditions” with the re-distribution
of this traffic with the proposed closure of the Romneya Drive access and the
restriction of left-turns out at Project Driveway No. 1 on East Street.
Figures 16 and 17 present projected AM and PM peak hour traffic volumes at the site
driveways with the addition of the trips generated by the proposed Project and closure
of the Romneya Drive access and the restriction of left-turns out at Project Driveway
No. 1 on East Street, inclusive of re-distribution of existing site generated traffic that
now uses the Romneya Drive access (“Baseline plus Project Traffic Conditions”),
respectively. It should be noted that the northbound left-turn volumes related to the
Eli Homes driveway and the StoneX Tile commercial driveway located directly
opposite Romneya Drive are nominal and would not provide conflicts with the
southbound left turn movement into Project Driveway No. 1 that now serves the
subject property.
PROJECT SITE ACCESS EVALUATION
Project Access Level of Service Analysis
Table 3 summarizes the intersection operations for the Project Driveways for Existing
traffic conditions and Existing Plus Project traffic conditions upon completion of the
proposed Project.
Review of Table 3 shows that the project driveways all currently operate at LOS C or
better. Further, upon completion of the proposed Project, including the closure of
Project Driveway No. 3 on Romneya Drive and the restriction of left-turns out at
Project Driveway No. 1 on East Street, the Project driveways are forecast to operate
at an acceptable LOS during the weekday AM peak hour and PM peak hour in the
Existing Plus Project traffic conditions. Relative to Project Driveway No. 4 at
Briarwood Street, this existing site driveway is forecast to continue to operate at LOS
A with the Project. As such, motorists entering and exiting the Project site will be
able to do so comfortably without undue congestion.
Appendix C presents the Existing and Existing Plus Project HCM/LOS calculations for
the Project Driveways for the AM peak hour and PM peak hour.

INTERNAL CIRCULATION
The on-site circulation layout of the proposed Project as illustrated in Figure 3 on an
overall basis is adequate. A circulation evaluation was performed using the Turning
Vehicle Templates, developed by Jack E. Leisch & Associates and AutoTURN for
AutoCAD computer software that simulates turning maneuvers for various types of
vehicles. The turning templates were utilized to ensure that a trash truck and a small
service/delivery truck (SU-30) could properly access and circulate through the Project
site. A trash truck and small service/delivery truck (SU-30) turning templates were
utilized in this evaluation.
Figures 18 and 19 illustrates the turning movements required of a trash truck and a
small service/delivery truck (SU-30), respectively. As shown, we have confirmed that
the turning radii of are met, as these vehicles can access the site and circulate within
the immediate area of the proposed Project as shown in the site plan.
CONCEPTUAL DESIGN FOR RESTRICTED ACCESS AT DRIVEWAY 1
As noted earlier in this report, based on comments provided at the City Planning
Commission meeting of November 6, 2023, , the Commission expressed concerns with
the added project volumes at Project Driveway No. 1 for the westbound (outbound) left-
turn movement because it may increase conflicts with the eastbound left-turn movement
from Balsam Avenue as well as through traffic along East Street. As a result, Figure 20
presents the conceptual design plan which includes signing and striping enhancements at
this project driveway that could be implemented to restrict the left-turn outbound
movement and the installation of a raised median to further enhance restrictions and
allow for the installation of a “shadowed” southbound left-turn lane at Project Driveway
No. 1.
EAST STREET CRASH HISTORY
Five years of crash data has been obtained and reviewed along East Street in the
vicinity of the Project site using the Statewide Integrated Traffic Records System
(SWITRS). Below presents the relevant crashes in the past 5 years between 2018 and
2023.
Year 2020-2021
1. 1 crash at Project Driveway 2 (WBR vehicle hit NBT vehicle).
Year 2021-2022
2. 1 crash at Balsam (NBL vehicle hit SBT vehicle)
3. 1 crash at Balsam (EBL vehicle hit SBT vehicle)
Year 2022-2023
4. 1 crash at Balsam (EBL vehicle hit NBT vehicle)
5. 1 crash at Balsam (EBL vehicle hit SBT vehicle)

N:\4600\2234635 - Starbucks at Gonzalez Plaza, Anaheim\Letters\4635 Revised Starbuck with Drive-Thru at Gonzalez Plaza TS, Anaheim 12-6-2023.doc
6. 1 crash at Eli Homes Driveway (EBL vehicle hit NBT vehicle)
Year 2023
7. 1 crash at Project Driveway 2 (SBL vehicle hit NBT vehicle)
8. 1 crash at Project Driveway 2 (WBR vehicle hit NBT vehicle)
As shown in the list above, the frequency and type of crashes along this reach of East
Street would indicate no significant safety condition associated with the roadway
intersections or driveways and five (5) or more crashes did not occur in a recent 12-
month period, which would indicate a condition that would necessitate mitigation.
Additionally, there were no reported crashes associated with Project Driveway No. 1 or
any movements associated with proposed Starbucks Project traffic.
As such, it can be concluded that access to the Project site as currently proposed in
response to Commission concerns, with inclusion of the westbound (outbound) left turn
restriction, would be adequate. Further, as noted previously, acceptable service levels at
all Project driveways would be maintained.
CONCLUSIONS
The Project’s proposed drive-through lane design has the ability to accommodate up
to 18 vehicles. Based on the findings above, the proposed Project drive-through lane
configuration/queuing storage capacity is adequately designed and will be sufficient
to accommodate the queuing requirements of Starbucks. Therefore, the expected
queues can be accommodated without interfering with internal circulation or causing
congestion on the main drive aisle.
Based on the information above, the implementation of the proposed Project is forecast
to result in 251 more daily trips, 37 more AM peak hour trips and 1 less PM peak hour
trip. Given the proposed Project would generate fewer than 100 peak hour trips during
the AM peak hour and PM peak hour a focused traffic (LOS) study would not likely be
required based on the requirements outlined in the current City of Anaheim Criteria for
Preparation of Traffic Impact Studies.
In addition, based on the results of this qualitative assessment, which indicate a nominal
amount of added project-related volumes to the adjacent street system, it is concluded
that no additional traffic analysis would be needed and further yet, the potential impact
of the Project would not be significant based on the City’s LOS standards and
Significant Transportation Impact criteria published in the current City of Anaheim
Criteria for Preparation of Traffic Impact Studies.
Lastly, an analysis of the site access indicates that, upon completion of the proposed
Project, including the closure of Project Driveway No. 3 on Romneya Drive and with
the restriction of outbound left-turns at Project Driveway No. 1 on East Street, the

Project driveways are forecast to operate at an acceptable LOS during the weekday
AM peak hour and PM peak hour in the Existing Plus Project traffic conditions.
Lastly, the installation of the improvements recommended to restrict outbound left-
turn movements at Project Driveway No. 1 on East Street will address the comments
and achieve the goals of the Planning Commission as expressed at the meeting of
November 6, 2023. The installation of the final improvements are subject to the City
of Anaheim review and approval, and will be designed to be consistent with the
City’s standards and requirements.
