Jenny Soo May 8,2015 Page 3 transition to the adjacent commercial properties. Buildings 8 through 12, located on the southern half of the project site would be oriented perpendicular to West Las Positas Boulevard and would taper down to two stories at the site's southern boundary near Arroyo Mocho. Similar to the 2014 project,the 2015 project's main access point would be from the existing signalized intersection at West Las Positas Boulevard and Hacienda Drive,with a secondary access point located to the west on West Las Positas Boulevard. A network of internal private streets would serve the 94 townhome condominiums. Consistent with the City's Design Guidelines, the internal street pattern is designed with a hierarchy of primary and secondary streets and lanes that have sufficient turning radius for fire-truck access. On-street parking would be provided continuously along the main street. Supplementing the main street is a series of smaller lanes that would provide access to the garages at the rear of the townhomes. The 2015 project includes 188 garage parking spaces and 58 on-street spaces. Pedestrian access would be provided via the existing sidewalks along West Las Positas Boulevard and pedestrian paseos throughout the project site. Similar to the 2014 project,the 2015 project would preserve many of the existing trees located along the project site's boundaries. However,the 2015 project would require removal of 62 trees due to the different building configurations,whereas the 2014 project proposed removal of only 57. Similar to the 2014 project,the 2015 project would comply with the Tree Preservation Ordinance included in Chapter 17.16 of the Pleasanton Municipal Code. Overall,the 2015 project would result in a level of site disturbance similar to that of the 2015 project. In addition, similar to the 2014 project,the 2015 project would implement the following design features to ensure that air quality and noise impacts are minimized: • Project construction would not include the simultaneous occurrence of two construction phases (e.g., paving and building construction would not occur simultaneously). • To ensure the project meets or exceeds Title 24 residential interior noise standards, upgraded sound transmission class (STC) rated 30 windows would be installed in buildings that border West Las Positas Boulevard (northern facade of Buildings 1, 2,and 3). All other locations throughout the project would incorporate STC 28 windows and doors. Comparison of Projects A comparison of the 2014 and 2015 projects is provided in the table below.
