TRANSPORTATION AND TRAFFIC Environmental Setting Program 1.1 of the Circulation Element of the 2005 -- 2025 Pleasanton General Plan' states, "Require new developments to pay their fair share of planned roadway improvement costs." Pro 2.7 of the Circulation Element of the 2005 -- 2025 Pleasanton General Plan states, "Require feasible mitigation measures to keep intersections impacted by development to acceptable service levels, in the extent that LOS D is exceeded. If there are no feasible mitigation measures and if the intersections are otherwise not exempt from the LOS D standard, withhold development approvals, including building permits, until the intersections exceeding LOS D are at an acceptable level of service." The "Approved Development" scenario consists of projects that have final City approval but are either not built, under construction, or partially occupied. Approved projects are used to forecast near term traffic conditions. The generation of future traffic volumes is based on information contained in the City's Baseline Approved land use database, which is updated to include current approvals and to delete approved projects that are Page 46 of 52 Pleasanton Gateway Initial Study August 2, 2010
