Development under the Specific Plan would result in exceedances of service criteria based on General Plan roadway capacity policies. This impact is significant (see Significance Criterion (2)). (3) Substantial Increase in Hazards Due to a Design Feature or Incompatible Uses The site plan for the project is conceptual: it includes designated locations for potential uses and a generalized circulation system for access and egress. As uses are selected and the PUD planning process is implemented, a more detailed assessment can be conducted to assure that individual projects comply with City of Pleasanton roadway and intersection standards and design. The following measures have been included in the Specific Plan Transportation Element to reduce the likelihood of creating hazardous circulation conditions: . The access to the park-and-ride lot should be located to ensure that there are adequate vehicle storage lane lengths for all of the northbound travel lanes on West Lagoon Road at Bernal Avenue. . The spacing of the proposed roundabouts along Pleasanton Avenue between Bernal Avenue and Valley Avenue should be adequate to insure no impacts between adja- cent intersections. In addition, the distance between Bernal Avenue and the first roundabout to the south should be adequate to meet the northbound travel lane requirements at Bernal Avenue. With incorporation of these measures, impacts relating to hazards would be reduced to the less-than-significant level. (4) Inadequate Emergency Access The conceptual site plan for the project includes designated locations for types of potential uses and a generalized circulation system for access and egress. At this time, no provisions for emergency vehicle access (EVA) are noted in the site plan. The following measures have been included in the Specific Plan Transportation Element to reduce the likelihood of creating hazardous circulation conditions: . It recommended that as part of the final site plan design, emergency vehicle access be considered. Providing emergency vehicle access (EVA) facilities between the basic circulation system and individual recreational facilities is recommended. Specific consideration should be given to the access to sports fields and stadiums (baseball, soccer, and football/ lacrosse), the potential cultural arts center, and the potential youth/community center. 142
