There- <br /> fore, this impact is considered to be a less-than-significant. <br /> <br />d-e) Public street access is provided directly from Old Foothill Road and indirectly from Foothill <br />Road. All access driveways and public strects are designed to City standards, The project de- <br />veloper will construct a left-turn lane/pocket from northbound Foothill Road to Old Foothill <br />Road, and street improvements on Old Foothill Road as required by thc City Engineer. There- <br />fore, this would be a less than significant impact. <br /> <br />PGP A-ll/PUD-58/PTR-7813 <br /> <br />Page 33 of 36 <br /> <br />July 19.2006 <br />
