• Traffic impacts on Santa Rita Road, W. Las Positas Boulevard, and Fairlands Drive; Crime associated with a convenience market; and • Noise generated from the carwash Brad Hirst, representing the applicant, stated that the convenience market would not have a 24/7 operation..Instead, the convenience store would be open from 5:00 a.m. to 1:00 a.m. In response to traffic concerns, Mr. Hirst stated he had met with the City Traffic Engineer and both of them visited the site several times to observe the existing circulation patterns and traffic volumes at the intersection of Santa Rita Road and W. Las Positas Boulevard. Mr. Hirst indicated that congestion at Santa Rita Road and W. Las Positas Boulevard is an existing situation which would not be substantially worsened by the proposed project. Regarding potential crime, Mr. Hirst stated that the Calls for Service data from the Pleasanton Police Department did not show a concentration of criminal activity at the existing 7-Eleven stores. In response to potential noise from the proposed drive-through carwash facility, Mr. Hirst indicated that a noise assessment report was prepared by an acoustic consultant, and the report recommends a sound attenuated fence to be constructed at the carwash exit to mitigate noise. The residents commented on potential noise that would be generated from the drive-through carwash, potential criminal activities that might occur around the convenience market, and traffic on W. Las Positas Boulevard. The residents asked about the brand of gas that would be sold at the gas station and whether tobacco products would be sold at the convenience market.
