PROJECT ISSUES Road Access Mr. Dolan stated that this is the biggest issue related to the project and has been the subject of the most controversy. He indicated that the developer proposed access only through Lund Ranch Road, and a lot of the discussion related to whether or not that would be the only access. He noted, however, that the Environmental Impact Report (EIR) did analyze a total of eight alternatives, which was narrowed down at the Work Session to three alternatives, which seem to be scenarios which frame the range of realistic possibilities for access: Scenario 1. This is the proposed project. The EIR identified that the trip generation from the project would be 550 trips. In this scenario, all the trips would all go out Lund Ranch Road and split out to Independence Road. All of the project traffic would go on Ventana Hills. Scenario 3. This scenario has a double connection, and the 550 trips would be split between Lund Ranch Road and Sunset Creek Lane. The numbers are estimates based on staff's observation from other people in the area and which way they head from this area when going to work or other places. The choices made by the people who move in obviously might be different from these assumptions. Scenario 6. This basically identified the Bonde Ranch agreement which was created as a part of the Bonde Ranch approval process. It basically promised the Ventana Hills neighborhood that there would be no connection to Lund Ranch Road, and everything on the Lund Ranch II property would ultimately be connected to either Sunset Creek Lane or Sycamore Creek Way. In addition, the traffic from Middleton Place, which currently goes out through Ventana Hills, would be re-routed on roads that have already been constructed but connect to project roads in Lund Ranch II; and that would be sent out the other way as well. So all 550 trips, plus 140 trips from Middleton Place, would end up on Sunset Creek Lane, and then they would have some choices off of Sunset Creek Lane or down to Sycamore Creek Way. Mr. Dolan indicated that when the staff recommendation is discussed later in the presentation, Mike Tassano, City Traffic Engineer, may present a few more of these types of trip distribution and trip generation slides related to staffs actual recommendation. Measure PP Mr. Dolan stated that the City Council and previous Planning Commissions have been struggling with the interpretation of Measure PP, and the last official action that the Council took was its decision not to adopt an implementing ordinance and to use the language in Measure PP as it is written and interpret it on a case-by-case basis as projects came forward. He noted that there have been no final determination on some of the issues that have come up: EXCERPT: PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING MINUTES, June 24, 2015 Page 2 of 45
