. before/after views taken from several viewpoints, . an aerial perspective of the site, . the project site plan superimposed on an aerial photograph of the site and surrounding area, and . tree growth looking up the main access street. An additional feature is the before/after view looking up the project street, which includes an animation of the tree growth continuously over a IS-year time period. Based upon the view analyses, the project will be most visible looking north from Foothill Road at the intersection of Old Foothill Road, and will be partially visible to portions of the Laguna Oaks neighborhood. Staff believes that the view analyses provide an accurate modeling of the project. However, staff also believes that the analyses should be revised to include the views of the tree growth - as an animation or at designated time intervals - and re-submitted to the Planning Commission for its review with the tentative subdivision map. The purpose of this re-submittal is to provide to the Planning Commission the opportunity to review the proposed landscaping treatments along the north and south sides of the development to determine their effectiveness at screening the project. The staff recommendation is reflected as draft condition of approval. Where building designs will be governed by design guidelines, absent actual design plans, the preparation of accurate view studies is difficult. Staff, therefore, has conditioned the proposed project to provide computer generated view studies with the site-specific design plans. Traffic and Circulation: Eight dwelling units, generating a total of 80 trips during the 24-hour day and 8 trips during the a.m./p.m. peak commute hour, is considered to be a less-then-significant addition of traffic to the surrounding street system. Therefore, no traffic analysis was required for the proposal. The projeet developer will be required to: . Pay the City and Tri- Valley Traffic Impact Fees; . Construct a left-turn lane/pocket from northbound Foothill Road to Old Foothill Road; . Construct a right-turn deceleration lane from southbound Foothill Road to Old Foothill Road; and, . Reconstruct the Foothill Road/Old Foothill Road intersection to a 900 alignment and standard street intersection to improve circulation. All proposed aceess driveways and public streets will be designed and constructed to City stan- dards. Item 6.c., PUD-58 and PGPA-II Page 27 of 34 August 23, 2006
