MEMORANDUM
DATE: November 1, 2022
TO: Aaron Anderson, Public Storage
FROM: Ken Wilhelm, LSA
SUBJECT: Public Storage Fontana, California – Trip Generation/Vehicle Miles Traveled Analysis
LSA is pleased to present this trip generation/vehicle miles traveled (VMT) memorandum for the
proposed Public Storage project (project) in Fontana, California. The proposed project is at 17173
Valley Boulevard, the current site of an existing public storage facility. The proposed project would
demolish 18,272‐square feet (sf) of the existing self‐storage (mini‐warehouse) use within four
buildings on site and construct a 110,834 sf, three‐story self‐storage facility (including 1,268 sf of
office use).
The project site is bordered by Valley Boulevard to the north, Interstate 10 to the south, a mobile
home park to the east, and Vineyard Valley Shopping Center to the west. Access to the site is
currently provided at the signalized intersection of Health Care Parkway/Valley Boulevard and a
gated right‐in/right‐out driveway along Valley Boulevard. The project site plan is attached.
Per the City of Fontana (City) Planning Department letter (dated July 14, 2022), a trip generation and
VMT memorandum shall be prepared for the project. This memorandum is prepared consistent with
the City’s Traffic Impact Analysis (TIA) Guidelines for Vehicle Miles Traveled and Level of Service
Assessment (October 21, 2020).
TRIP GENERATION
The daily and peak‐hour trips of the existing uses and the proposed project were calculated using
trip rates from the Institute of Transportation Engineers (ITE) Trip Generation Manual, 11th Edition
(2021). Table A summarizes the project trip generation using the ITE trip rates.
The proposed project would demolish 16,454 sf of the existing office and mini‐warehouse uses on
site. As shown in Table A, using trip rates for a Mini‐Warehouse use (Land Use Code 151), the
existing uses to be demolished generate 24 daily weekday trips, including 2 trips (1 inbound and 1
outbound) in the a.m. peak hour and 2 trips (1 inbound and 1 outbound) in the p.m. peak hour.
The proposed project includes the construction of a 110,834 sf, three‐story self‐storage facility
(including 1,268 sf of office use). As shown in Table A, using trip rates for a Mini‐Warehouse use
(Land Use Code 151), the proposed project would generate 161 daily weekday trips, including
10 trips (6 inbound and 4 outbound) in the a.m. peak hour and 17 trips (8 inbound and 9 outbound)
in the p.m. peak hour.

ADT = average daily trips
tsf = thousand square feet
After taking credit for the existing trip generation on site, the net project is anticipated to generate
137 daily trips, including 8 trips (5 inbound and 3 outbound) in the a.m. peak hour and 15 trips
(7 inbound and 8 outbound) in the p.m. peak hour.
According to the City’s TIA guidelines, a TIA should be prepared for every project that is forecast to
equal or exceed the San Bernardino Associated Governments Congestion Management Plan
threshold of 250 two‐way peak‐hour trips. Industrial and warehousing projects shall convert trucks
to passenger car equivalent before applying this threshold. The proposed project is a public storage
facility that would not likely generate large trucks and is expected to generate fewer than 250 trips
during the peak hours. As such, a TIA should not be required.
VEHICLE MILES TRAVELED
As a result of Senate Bill (SB) 743, the California Office of Administrative Law cleared the revised
California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) guidelines for use on December 28, 2018. Among the
changes to the guidelines was the removal of vehicle delay and level of service (LOS) from
consideration under CEQA. The intent of SB 743 and the revised CEQA guidelines is to promote the
reduction of greenhouse gas emissions, the development of multimodal transportation networks,
and a diversity of land uses. With the adopted guidelines, transportation impacts are to be
evaluated based on a project’s effect on vehicle miles traveled (VMT).
According to the City’s TIA guidelines, projects that would generate fewer than 500 net daily trips
are screened out from a VMT analysis and are presumed to have a less‐than‐significant
transportation impact. Based on the City’s guidelines, projects that generate fewer than 500 daily
trips include 287,000 (or smaller) sf of warehousing use.
The proposed project is less than 287,000 sf and would generate fewer than 500 daily trips.
Therefore, the proposed project is screened out from a VMT analysis and is presumed to have a less‐
than‐significant transportation impact.

CONCLUSION
LSA analyzed the trip generation of the proposed project to determine whether it would require a
TIA or VMT analysis. The net project is anticipated to generate 137 daily trips, including 8 trips in
the a.m. peak‐hour and 15 trips in the p.m. peak‐hour. Based on the results of the project trip
generation, a TIA should not be required and the project is presumed to have a less‐than‐significant
transportation impact.
