These improvements are included in the City’s Traffic Impact Fee project list and the 2022 Residential Project would fund its fair share by paying traffic impact fees. The Workday study also noted that at the intersection of Stoneridge Mall Road and Stoneridge Drive, the southbound left-turn queue would exceed the storage capacity of the left-turn lanes in the existing plus approved without project scenario in the PM peak hour. This Workday-specific impact was addressed by a condition of approval requiring that the Workday project applicant install this improvement. The 2014 Workday study also determined that the Workday project would be required to construct a new combined driveway for the BART garage and the Workday project, which would allow for a design that would accommodate queues for both the BART station and Workday office uses. The Workday project also was required to install a signal at this driveway. These requirements imposed on the Workday project were designed to ensure safe and adequate operations, levels of service and queuing under scenarios which include future expansion of Stoneridge Mall and the residential development proposed in the Housing Element (including the Project), as well as the Workday project. 2015 Addendum for Housing Element The City prepared an Addendum for its 2015 Housing Element, which confirmed that there were no substantial changes to impacts identified previously. 2016 Workday Traffic Study After the Workday project was approved in 2014, the square footage of the Workday project was reduced, and more precise employee population figures were developed. In 2016, Fehr & Peers prepared a traffic study to determine whether these developments would alter the conclusions of the 2014 Workday traffic study. The 2016 report also evaluated the site access intersections on Stoneridge Mall Road. The report concluded that the overall conclusions presented in the 2014 Workday Traffic Impact Analysis remained applicable. 2019 Stoneridge Mall Commercial Replacement and Expansion Project In April 2019, the City approved redevelopment of the Sears building and adjacent 2-story parking garage at Stoneridge Shopping Center. The retail project proposed to demolish the existing Sears store and parking structure and redevelop the site with a net new 79,269 SF of commercial development. The net new retail square footage is included in the overall additional 353,500 square footage approved for Stoneridge Shopping Center and not additive. This project was approved based upon an Addendum that documented no new or more severe traffic impacts than had been disclosed previously. The traffic analysis supporting the Addendum concluded that the retail project was consistent with the prior traffic analysis results, and no new traffic effects would occur. The City’s Current Traffic Demand Model The City's current traffic demand model addresses non-CEQA road capacity issues in the context of evaluating consistency with General Plan Levels of Service. It incorporates all traffic anticipated from the development described in the studies referenced above. The traffic improvements needed to
