Implementation of the proposed MTP/SCS will result in the construction of various transportation improvement projects throughout Developing Communities. However, Developing Communities will not necessarily see the same mix of transportation projects as Center and Corridor Communities and Established Communities. Developing Communities will see more road widening projects and newly constructed road projects to serve the new residential and employment developments that will be built by 2035. These areas will see road maintenance and rehabilitation projects, but because these areas have less transportation infrastructure to begin with, these projects will not be as prevalent as in Center and Corridor Communities and Established Communities. Developing Communities generally are not served by transit today, but new transit service will be added incrementally to align with the completion of new housing and employment centers. Pedestrian and bicycle infrastructure will be similarly phased in over the life of the proposed MTP/SCS. Overall, Developing Communities will see weekday congested VMT per capita (householdgenerated) increase from 1.33 in 2008 to 1.35 in 2035 with implementation of the proposed MTP/SCS. More congestion in these areas could potentially lead to longer response times for emergency services providers. Bicycle and pedestrian improvements will increase the demand for public protection services. The increase in public services demand from implementation bicycle and pedestrian projects is expected to be low, although these projects may require expansion of the service area depending on the location of specific projects. Similarly, implementation of transit projects may increase the demand for public services as well, but as with bicycle and pedestrian projects, the increase in demand is expected to be low. Therefore, with increased congestion, the potential for adverse emergency services and emergency evacuation plan impacts related to transportation improvements from implementation of the proposed MTP/SCS in Developing Communities are considered potentially significant (PS) for Impact HAZ-7. See Mitigation Measure HAZ-3 below. Rural Residential Communities Rural Residential Communities are very low-density communities with mostly residential development and some small-scale farming. These communities are expected to see very limited growth by 2035. This Community Type will increase by approximately 5,300 housing units and 4,000 jobs, less than two percent of the regional housing and employment growth. This development will consume about 5,000 acres. This Community Type is expected to see the lowest rate of growth and will see a decreasing share of regional population, housing units, and employment. Rural Residential Communities already have some capacity for providing public services, and some of the growth resulting from implementation of the proposed MTP/SCS could likely be accommodated by expanding service boundaries to include future developments. However, because Rural Residential Communities cover such a vast area of the MTP/SCS plan area, it is also likely that new equipment and facilities will be necessary to serve populations in this Community Type. In addition, despite the decrease in per capita weekday congested VMT MTP/SCS 2035 Sacramento Area Council of Governments Draft Environmental Impact Report Chapter 10 – Hazards and Hazardous Materials – Page 10-64
discussed below, the dispersed pattern of growth could make for longer response times for emergency services. Therefore, the potential for adverse emergency services and emergency evacuation plan impacts related to land use changes from the implementation of the proposed MTP/SCS in Rural Residential Communities are considered potentially significant (PS) for Impact HAZ-7. See Mitigation Measure HAZ-3 below. Transportation infrastructure in Rural Residential Communities consists primarily of roads serving automobile traffic with some very limited transit service in a few places in the region. Implementation of the proposed MTP/SCS will result in the construction of roadway improvements including road maintenance and rehabilitation, roadway widenings, newly constructed roadways, and freeway improvements. There may also be limited improvements to transit service. Rural Residential Communities will see minor investment in bicycle and transit infrastructure. Increases in service demand from bicycle and transit projects are expected to be very low in this Community Type. Although Rural Residential Communities will see weekday congested VMT per capita (household-generated) decrease from 1.35 in 2008 to 0.96 in 2035 with implementation of the proposed MTP/SCS, the per capita per number is one of the highest of the Community Types. With this congestion, and dispersed pattern of growth, response times could be longer for emergency services. Therefore, the potential for adverse emergency services and emergency evacuation plan impacts related to transportation improvements from implementation of the proposed MTP/SCS in Rural Residential Communities are considered potentially significant (PS) for Impact HAZ-7. See Mitigation Measure HAZ-3 below. Lands Not Identified for Development in the Proposed MTP/SCS The proposed MTP/SCS does not forecast or model growth in Lands Not Identified for Development communities during the planning period, though there is existing development in these areas (primarily farm homes, agricultural‐related uses, and public lands such as waste water treatment facilities, etc.). Therefore, the potential for adverse emergency services and emergency evacuation plan impacts related to land use changes from the implementation of the proposed MTP/SCS in Lands Not Identified for Development are considered less than significant (LS) for Impact HAZ-7. No mitigation is required. The proposed MTP/SCS will make a limited number of transportation investments in this Community Type by 2035, including road maintenance, road widenings and safety enhancements, and other roadway improvements. Overall, this Community Type will see weekday congested VMT per capita (household-generated) decrease from 0.82 in 2008 to 0.66 in 2035 with implementation of the proposed MTP/SCS.
