RECOMMENDATION:
It is recommended that the Board of Supervisors:
a. Accept the report on traffic volumes on Carmel Valley Road for all segments, pursuant to the 2010 General Plan, Carmel Valley Master Plan area; and
b. Accept the Five-Year Interval Report.
SUMMARY:
The 2010 General Plan includes policies that require annual monitoring and reporting of traffic volumes and travel times on segments 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, and 10 of Carmel Valley Road. If the annual monitoring reveals that traffic volumes are exceeding certain thresholds, the Board of Supervisors must conduct a noticed public hearing.

The Average Daily Traffic (ADT) and Percent Time Spent Following (PTSF) results are shown in Attachment B. For this monitoring period, the ADT for all reportable segments are below the thresholds set by the Policy. Segments 5, 6, and 7 exceeded the PTSF threshold set by the Policy. Additionally, Segments 4, 5, 6 and 7 are within twenty percent (20%) of ADT threshold, as shown on Attachment C. The remaining segments do not meet this criterion and generally do not need to be evaluated annually. Attachment D shows the Traffic Volumes from 2015 to present for all segments. Consequently, pursuant to this Policy, a public hearing before the Board of Supervisors is required.
Every five years an additional analysis must be performed on all segments of Carm...
