Ellis CHASE PARTNERS, LTD 644 San Fernando Road, #3944 Glendale, CA 91221 Subject: Fontana Business Center 3 Project Trip Generation Analysis, City of Fontana, California Dear Dawn, MAT Engineering, Inc. is pleased to submit this trip generation analysis for the proposed Fontana Business Center 3 project. A. Project Location & Description The currently vacant project site is located south of Santa Ana Avenue and west of Juniper Avenue in the City of Fontana. The proposed project consists of 35,505 square feet of general warehouse use (no cold storage). Access for the proposed project is planned via Juniper Avenue. Exhibit A shows the project location. Exhibit B shows the proposed site plan. B. Project Trip Generation Calculations & Analysis Trip generation represents the amount of trips attracted and produced by a land use. The trip generation for the project is based upon the specific land uses that have been planned for this project and has been determined utilizing the Institute of Transportation Engineers (ITE) trip generation rates (11th Edition) which is an industry standard for calculating trips associated with land uses Table 1 shows the trip ITE trip generation rates for the proposed project which are based on the ITE Warehouse Land Use (ITE Code 150).

Fontana Business Center 3 Project Trip Generation Analysis, City of Fontana, California 0026-2023-01.01 / February 22, 2023 Page 4 MAT Engineering, Inc. ￭17192 Murphy Avenue #14902, Irvine, CA 92623 ￭ 949.344.1828 ￭ www.matengineeing.com Based on the City of Fontana Traffic Impact Analysis Guidelines for Vehicle Miles Traveled (VMT) & Level of Service Assessment, a full traffic study is required when a project generates 50 or more peak hour trips. Since the proposed project is expected to generate a low number of trips, a full traffic study is not required for the proposed project. Due to the low number of trips, the project is expected to not have an adverse impact on the level of service and operations of the surrounding circulation system and roadway network. No further level of service analysis is required for the proposed project. MAT Engineering Inc. appreciates the opportunity to provide this technical letter and memorandum.
