Traffic study fails to adequately address safety impacts to Rossmoor Park Condo exit onto Rossmoor Center Way as required by CEQA

Situation
Condo residents must verify safe exit based upon traffic arriving from six (6) different locations
It is only one of two Two-Way Stop Controlled (TWSC) intersections (as defined in
the HCM) analyzed under the LA Fitness FEIR, and whose safety is totally dependent on the judgement of residents to find a safe traffic gap
The ONLY intersection in the FEIR plagued
with loading-dock traffic - stopped in violation of the public street posting
With this latter issue, it is the ONLY intersection which has not received full disclosure of a pre-existing
condition, as required by CEQA, by neither the FEIR, nor City Staff in its memo to the planning commission

Conclusion
Exit onto Rossmoor Center Way from Rossmoor Park Condo via exit gate is already a hazard
Addition of Fitness Center project traffic on RCW as proposed increases the hazard
Existing
Loading-Dock issue NOT disclosed by Responsible Agency as required under CEQA
Request Council to uphold the appeal, reject P.C. resolution 17-15, and request staff to return EIR for
research, revision to correct deficiencies, and resubmit for public review

We respectfully request that you reject the certification of the EIR and deny the CUP request. At a minimum,
we request that you direct staff to order a new EIR correcting the many deficiencies we have pointed out, including doing a proper traffic study, as urged by the County of Orange.
