school-aged children going to/from Mohr Elementary School. The consensus of the Bass Homes neighbors previously speaking on the sidewalk appears to oppose the sidewalk. Several neighbors suggested placing the sidewalk connection between the Selway, Lai, and Blaine prop- erties, linking Street "A" to Martin Avenue. However, representatives of the Pleasanton Police, Public Works/Engineering, and Planning Departments believe that the pedestrian connection, if provided, should be placed on Cameron Avenue. Trip Generation. Traffic Analysis. and Mitigation Measures The proposed project wi\1 generate 23 a.m. peak hour trips and 24 p.m. peak hour trips. Pro- gram 2.2 of the Circulation Element of the Pleasanton General Plan states, "Require site-specific traffic studies for all major developments which have the potential to Level Of Service "D", and require developers to implement the miti- gation measures identified in these studies" A traffic study was completed for the proposal analyzing the "ExistinglBaseline/Approved" sce- nario and is attached. It is attached. Since the proposed project is consistent with the Land Use Element of the Pleasanton General Plan, thereby not requiring an amendment to the General Plan, a build-out analysis was not required. The results of the analysis indicate that the Santa Rita Road/Stoneridge Drive intersection oper- ates at LOS "E" for the p.m. peak hour: the total vehicle delay is 59 seconds. The proposed project will add 22 p.m. trips to this intersection and requires mitigation to obtain an acceptable LOS "D". The construction of a new southbound right-turn lane at this intersection wi\1 be in- cluded in the traffic impact fee update study to be conducted by the City next year. This mitiga- tion is needed with/without this development as the combined traffic from all approved devel- opment projects produces the LOS "E" condition. This mitigation would bring the LOS at this intersection into conformance with City's LOS "D" standard. Because this mitigation is consid- ered to be a City-wide responsibility, the project developer's payment of City and Tri-Valley Traffic Impact Fees is considered to be its mitigation, and wi\1 be conditioned of this project. The Mohr Avenue/Santa Rita Road intersection wi\1 experience an increase of 17 trips in the a.m. peak hour and 21 trips in the p.m. peak hour. While this intersection does operate at an ac- ceptable level of service in both a.m./p.m. peak hours with the additional trips generated by the proposed project, the increase in the westbound volume creates delay for the eastbound and westbound left-turn movements. It is recommended that this applicant be conditioned to modify this intersection's signal timing to provide a protected/permissive left turn phasing for the east- bound/westbound approaches prior to the occupancy of the project. This signal modification wi\1 reduce the overall delay at the intersection and provide added safety during the peak hours. The applicant has agreed to this mitigation which is reflected in the conditions of approval. Item 6.e.. PUD-50 Page 13 of29 June 28, 2006
