~_ HACIGNUA Goals, Policies and Programs The General Plan Circulation Element contains goals, policies, and programs which are intended to meet the City's future objectives regarding circulation systems. Following is a discussion of goals, policies, and programs which relate to future development of Hacienda Business Park. • Policy 1 and Program 1.1 relate to completing the City's planned street and highway system, and requiring new development to pay its fair share towards improvements. Hacienda Business Park will work with the City to determine fair share requirements for future needs resulting from development within the Park. • Policy 2 and the associated programs relate to phasing development and roadway improvements to ensure that levels of service at major intersections to not exceed LOS D at major intersections outside Downtown and gateway intersections. Planning for future development in Hacienda includes mitigation measures that will return affected intersections to LOS D, and the Hacienda stakeholders will work with the City to determine mitigation measures, and include them in the General Plan. • Policy 6 and Program 6.1 both address design of streets to minimize traffic-related impacts on land uses. Design guidelines and development standards for Hacienda Business Park will include site planning and landscaping standards required to create a safe and attractive pedestrian environment within the Park, and minimize conflicts between transportation modes. • Program 10.1 discusses the potential for shared parking, or reductions in parking standards for development located proximate to transit. Future development within Hacienda Business Park should be evaluated for reduced parking standards, based on the adjacency to the BART station. • Goal 4, and the associated policies and programs, all relate to the provision of a multi-modal transportation system which creates alternatives to the single-occupancy vehicle. Transit-oriented development in Hacienda is consistent with this policy direction, as planned elements include enhanced pedestrian and bicycle connections and facilities, enhanced transit connectivity, and land use patterns designed to reduce trips.
