DSP streets and intersections were built prior to modern road standards and lack the necessary right-of-way for major roadway improvements. Furthermore, removing on- street parking, adding additional travel lanes, and reducing sidewalk width — the types of traffic improvements that are typically required — would be inconsistent with the desired pedestrian character for the Downtown. • The 13 unit proposal will generate approximately 10 a.m. and 13 p.m. peak hour trips and 130 daily trips compared to the 11 a.m. and 14 p.m. peak hour trips and 140 daily trips of the previous proposal. The proposed project is considered a small-scale project located in the Downtown, and, for these reasons, does not require a traffic study. In addition, the Final EIR that was approved for the Downtown Specific Plan anticipated development of this site with high density residential uses. Impacts and mitigations were addressed in this EIR. The residential use and proposed site layout are not anticipated to create any unique traffic or circulation circumstances. The applicant would be required to pay the City and Tri-Valley traffic fees as part of the project. • The applicant will pay the proposed development's pro-rata share of the City's planned Stanley Boulevard reconstruction to modify and improve Stanley Boulevard described in the attached Planning Commission staff report (Exhibit G) that will improve vehicular, pedestrian, and bicycle circulation on this section of Stanley Boulevard between Main Street and Stanley Boulevard. • Vehicular access to the development will only be provided from the single private street off Stanley Boulevard, which is preferred from a traffic safety and flow standpoint. Therefore, the reduced density project combined with the Stanley Boulevard reconstruction will result in a proposed development that will be consistent with the City's traffic safety and accessibility standards. Parking As part of the Stanley Boulevard reconstruction project, a paved parallel parking lane will be provided on the north side of the street with no parking allowed on the south side of Stanley Boulevard. Two garage parking spaces will be provided per unit. The proposed parking ratio for the revised development plan with 13 units, a total of 26 garage parking spaces, and 7 open guest parking spaces will equal 2.54 parking spaces per unit. The residential driveways will be at least 18-feet long and able to accommodate parked vehicles with the garage door in a closed position. Adding each unit's driveway apron parking will increase the assigned and guest parking to a total of 59 parking spaces or 4.54 parking spaces per unit with each unit having four assigned parking spaces in the unit's garage and driveway apron. As conditioned, the garages will not be allowed to be modified by the residents or used for storage in a manner that interferes with the ability to park two cars within the garage; that the residents shall park their vehicles in the garages; and that the driveways shall remain free of boats, trailers, campers, etc., to provide additional parking for guests and any additional vehicles owned by the residents. A condition of approval requires that Item 6.a., PUD-82 Page 16 of 22 July 13, 2011
