buildout with project conditions were evaluated relative to buildout without project <br />conditions in order to determine potential long —term project impacts. <br />The proposed project would generate 2,009 daily vehicle trips with 185 trips occurring during <br />the a.m. peak hour (94 inbound trips and 91 outbound trips) and 132 trips during the p.m. peak <br />hour (68 inbound trips and 64 outbound trips). <br />Project trip distribution was completed using the City of Pleasanton Travel Demand Forecast <br />(TDF) model. Four intersections were included in the traffic analysis: <br />1. Hopyard Road and 1 -580 EB Off Ramp <br />2. Hopyard Road and Owens Drive <br />3. Johnson Drive and Owens Drive (southern end) <br />4. Johnson Drive and Owens Drive (northern end; non - signalized) <br />All of the study intersections currently operate at LOS D or better. Under all study scenarios, all <br />of the signalized study intersections would continue to operate at LOS D or better during the <br />AM and PM peak hours with one exception: Hopyard Road and 1 -580 EB Off Ramp would <br />operate at LOS E under the Buildout scenarios during the PM peak hour. Hopyard Road at <br />1 -580 EB off -ramp is identified as one of the City's Gateway intersections. As a "Gateway <br />Intersection" per the General Plan, this intersection is exempt from requirement to maintain <br />LOS D. <br />Program 7.3 of the Circulation Element of the General Plan states: <br />Design complete streets serving pedestrians, bicyclists, motorists, and transit riders <br />of all ages and abilities, except where infeasible. Complete streets may include: <br />alternative intersection control where appropriate; requiring bicycle and pedestrian <br />connections from cul -de -sacs to adjacent streets, trails, bicycle paths, and <br />neighborhoods; and incorporating appropriate traffic calming measures. <br />To satisfy the City's Complete Streets requirements, the proposed project includes the <br />dedication of a portion of the land along Hopyard Road for future construction of a right -turn <br />only lane, a bicycle lane, and a sidewalk. In addition, the applicant would be required to <br />participate in the City and Tri- Valley Traffic Impact Fee (TIF) programs. <br />At the Hopyard Road and Owens Drive intersection, the LOS standards would be met under all <br />study scenarios. However, this intersection has a northbound left-turn queue that will exceed <br />the storage capacity of the left-turn lane in the existing and existing plus approved conditions <br />without and with the project in the AM and PM peak hours. The proposed project would add up <br />to a five -car increase in queue length to the northbound left -turn queue, resulting in an <br />inadequate storage capacity for all scenarios in the PM peak hour. The solution to this queue <br />capacity shortage is to either: 1) extend the existing northbound left -turn lane from 125 feet to <br />250 feet, or 2) construct a second northbound left -turn lane to accommodate the anticipated <br />queues. The proposed project includes the extension of the existing left -turn lane south <br />approximately 125 feet. This extension will require removal of four trees and relocate one <br />street light. Since the developer would construct the lane extension, the developer will receive <br />P13- 2533/PUD- 100/PUD- 96- 13 -02M Planning Commission <br />Page 18 of 27 <br />
