City of Pleasanton—Hidden Canyon Residences and Preserve Project Final EIR Responses to Written Comments FirstCarbon Solutions 3-59 https://adecinnovations.sharepoint.com/sites/PublicationsSite/Shared Documents/Publications/Client (PN-JN)/2148/21480016/EIR/4 - Final EIR/21480016 Sec03-00 Responses to Written Comments.docx Cornell Holmes (C.HOLMES) Response to C.HOLMES-1 A Transportation Impact Study was prepared for the proposed project and is included as Appendix H of the Draft EIR. This report included a sight distance analysis, which is incorporated in the Draft EIR. Chapter 2, Project Description, Exhibit 2-7b of the Draft EIR is mislabeled as Dublin Canyon Road Project Entrance but actually shows the existing Dublin Canyon Road and Canyon Meadows Drive intersection as well as a simulation of what the intersection would look like after project implementation. As shown, there would be a significant improvement in visibility as well as the addition of a traffic signal, striping and markings to enhance safety for motorists, bicyclists, and pedestrians. Section 5, Errata, includes the corrected Exhibit titles. This comment is included in the administrative record and will be provided to the decision-makers for review and consideration. The comment did not provide new, substantial evidence with respect to the disposition of significant environmental impacts evaluated in the Draft EIR. Therefore, no further response is required. Response to C.HOLMES-2 Please refer to Master Response 1, Non-CEQA Issues Not Addressed in Final EIR, in Section 2, Master Responses, of this document. This Master Response provides an explanation of the scope of CEQA as it relates to development of the proposed project. Concerns regarding existing accident patterns or safety conditions on roadways not affected by the proposed project are outside the scope of CEQA review for this project, unless the proposed project would exacerbate those conditions. The Draft EIR concludes that the proposed project would not substantially worsen traffic safety conditions on nearby roadways. The City nevertheless recognizes that traffic safety is an important community concern. Comments received during the public review period are part of the administrative record for the proposed project and are reviewed by City staff with expertise in the relevant subject areas, including transportation and public works. Concerns related to roadway operations, maintenance, and traffic safety within the City’s jurisdiction may also be addressed outside the CEQA process through routine City programs, service requests, or future capital improvement planning, as appropriate. The comment did not provide new, substantial evidence with respect to the disposition of significant environmental impacts evaluated in the Draft EIR. Therefore, no further response is required.
