City of Pleasanton—Merritt Property Project <br />15183 Consistency Checklist Consistency Checklist <br /> <br /> <br /> 179 <br />consists of age-restricted senior housing and would not be served by these <br />bus routes. <br />The project site is located approximately 1.7 miles from the Pleasanton <br />Station for the Amtrack Thruway Connecting Service servicing the ACE line. <br />The West Dublin/Pleasanton BART Station is located approximately 2.28 miles <br />to the northeast. <br />According to the Alameda County Congestion Management Program <br />(CMP) Transportation Impact Analysis Technical Guidelines, a project would <br />create an impact on transit service if it: (1) causes vehicular congestion that <br />would significantly degrade transit operations, (2) causes a ridership increase <br />that would exceed existing transit capacity, or (3) conflicts with existing transit <br />service plans or preclude future transit service to the project area. The <br />proposed project would not cause any of these criteria to be met. The <br />project would generate a small number of transit trips to/from employment <br />zones, recreation areas, and shopping centers, and would not exceed the <br />carrying capacity of the existing transit service. The number of vehicle trips <br />generated by the proposed project would be relatively low, resulting in <br />negligible delays for transit. The project would not remove any existing transit <br />facilities nor conflict with any adopted plans. Therefore, the proposed project <br />would not cause a significant impact to transit operations in the study area. <br />Roadway Facilities <br />Vehicle access to the project site would be provided from a new roadway <br />connection to Foothill Road. Three potential emergency access routes are <br />identified in the plans. Internal circulation would be provided via various <br />internal roadways throughout the project site (Exhibit 6). These internal streets <br />would not present vehicle turnaround issues. <br />Conclusion <br />In sum, there are no environmental effects that are peculiar to the proposed <br />project. The proposed project would not result in a new or more severe <br />adverse impact that was not previously identified in the Housing Element <br />Update FEIR.
