Hacienda TOD Standards and Design Guidelines Initial Study the development does not substantially increase traffic and does not induce the need for roadway improvements and the traffic generation is a less than significant impact. The project developer will be required to fund their share of the improvements through the Traffic Development Fee Prograrn. The project changes the design of the existing collector and arterial road system. To implement the Transit Oriented Design, the project will narrow two arterial roadways and one collector roadway. The narrowing of the roadways promotes pedestrian circulation, but does reduce the storage capacity and operational viability at two project intersections. While these two intersections maintain an acceptable level of service, the approach delay and storage capacity- that result from the roadway narrowing requires mitigation. Willow Road at Gibraltar Drive — provide 150 foot le %t turn storage for the northbound and southbound kit turns on Willow Road. Gibraltar Drive at Hacienda Drive — Instal/ protected left turn signal phasing for the eastbound and westbound left turn movements at the intersection of Gibraltar Drive at 1laaenda Drive. Construction of these improvements will reduce the impact of the project to a less than significant impact level. Less- than - Significant Impact. The project increases traffic on the regional roadway system, however the increase in traffic does not exceed the level of service standard created by the County Congestion Management Agency. The conversion of the project area from office to residential reduces the anticipated total number of future trips on the regional roadway system. The reduction of regional trips creates a less than significant impact. No Impacts. The project would make no change to air traffic patterns, would not introduce incompatible vehicles (such as farm equipment) on the roadways, or cause conflicts with plans or policies supporting alterative transportation. 'I`he proposed project encourages alternative transportation by providing for housing and neighborhood- serving retail uses with one half mile of a BART station. The development plans provide a design. for emergency vehicle access routes and for parking.
