Pesidenti.al a,nd industrial aev;KLopmen.t immediately vkeot of State tNry 99,
between the }Southern Pacific Railroad.. right-of-way and Crouch Ravine
has ilia potential to decrease the level of oervi;ce (LOS) of the hi,ghiray

I:adustrial buildout will increase the volume of heatry truck traffic,

T o designation of approximately 415 acres of industry al land combined
and 660 acnes of Agricultural.-kesidential. (rural density home sites)
in the South Ohico area wIl:l produce ;approximate,ly 20,374 trip ends
at buildout (worst ease). 111h+e liMited capacity o£ 'the Midway (two lade
narrow sholdex's)and US 99 (reduction tion of l:a.ties for cross traffic turn;419
Movements) is i sigajficant impact. This' impact wil1 continue as develop-
meat occurs becoming most severe or significant at buildout.
