PUD-74 Environmental Checklist Discussion a-b) The project includes active and passive recreation areas. The proposed development will not accelerate the substantial deterioration of existing park or recreation facilities near the subject site nor require the construction or expansion of recreational facilities. Therefore, these items would be ales-than-signifcant-impact. 15. TRANSPORTATION AND TRAFFIC Environmental Setting Vehicular access to the development would be provided from Reimers Drive (off of the Ironwood Drive traffic circle). The development would have a gated entrance and private streets. Street sections would measure 36-feet wide (curb-to-curb) with parking on both sides of the street except near the entry gates. Sidewalks would be located on both sides of Street "A" from the gated entry to Court "G." Other portions of Street "A" and the secondary streets would have sidewalks on one side of the street. No sidewalks would be provided in the cul-de-sacs. An emergency vehicle access (EVA) road would connect Court "G" to Sandstone Court in the existing Ironwood development. EVAs would also be provided between Court "F" and Street "A," between Court "D" and Street "A," and between Reimers Drive and the City's OSC. Traffic Study Program 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 exceed LOS [Level of Service] "D," and require developers to implement the mitigation measures identified in these studies." A traffic studyZ was completed for the project analyzing the weekday a.m. and p.m. peak hour LOS traffic for the following three scenarios: • Existing -This scenario evaluates the existing traffic conditions. • Existing Plus Approved Projects -This scenario includes the existing traffic plus traffic from approved but not yet built/completed projects. Existing Plus Approved Projects Plus the Proposed Project -This scenario includes the existing traffic, plus traffic from approved but not yet built/completed projects, plus traffic from the proposed project. The proposed 110-unit detached single-family homes for residents aged 55 years and older would generate approximately 587 daily trips on an average weekday, including a total of 30 AM peak hour trips (11 trips inbound and 19 trips outbound) and 53 PM peak hour trips (32 inbound and 21 trips outbound). 33
