City of Pleasanton—Villages at the Quarry Project 15183 Consistency Checklist Consistency Checklist 193 F (over capacity conditions). LOS E corresponds to operations “at capacity.” When volumes exceed capacity, stop-and-go conditions result, and operations are designated LOS F. Although LOS and other delay-based metrics cannot be used to determine significant impacts under CEQA, the City strives to maintain a balanced transportation system, which includes maintaining traffic operations within a certain delay range, based on policies contained in the General Plan. Additionally, a project’s effect on overall travel operations provides decision- makers with additional information to consider in the entitlement process and allows for the identification of potential improvements or project changes that could minimize the overall transportation system effect of a project on the surrounding community. The City applies the following criteria to develop recommendations designed to enhance mobility for all travel modes, including transit vehicles, without degrading or precluding the provision of planned bicycle, pedestrian, and transit facilities. Intersection or roadway improvements may be recommended under the following circumstances: • The project deteriorates the operations of a signalized intersection from acceptable to unacceptable based on the LOS standard established in the General Plan. • The project adds 10 or more trips to an intersection projected to operate at an unacceptable LOS E or LOS F prior to the addition of project traffic. • The project deteriorates the operations of a controlled movement at an unsignalized intersection from LOS E or better to LOS F, or at intersections where a controlled movement already operates at LOS F, one of the following: - Project traffic results in satisfaction of the peak-hour volume traffic signal warrant; - Project traffic increases minor movement delay by more than 30 seconds; or - Where the peak-hour volume signal warrant is met without project traffic and delay cannot be measured, project increases traffic by 10 or more vehicles per lane on the controlled approach. • The addition of project traffic at a study intersection would result in the 95th percentile vehicle queue exceeding the available storage or would increase 95th percentile queue by more than two vehicles (50
