operation and maintenance costs for the restroom. Should the City Council not support the installation of a public restroom(s) within Valley Trails Park, the applicant shall submit a payment in the amount of$300,000 to the City of Pleasanton to be used for Valley Trails Park improvements to be determined by the City. Please refer to the April 10, 2017 revised Planning Commission memorandum (Attachment 10) for additional discussion on the public restroom processing options. Parks and Recreation Commission - Valley Trails Park On September 8, 2016, the Parks and Recreation Commission reviewed Ponderosa's proposal to install a new tot lot and landscape improvements within Valley Trails Park. The Commission unanimously recommending approval of the proposed improvements. Staff notes that the Commission did not review and/or discuss the addition of a public restroom within Valley Trails Park. The Parks and Recreation Commission staff report and meeting minutes are included as Exhibit I in Attachment 9 for the Council's reference. Traffic The purpose of a Transportation Impact Analysis (TIA) is to provide sufficient information concerning the impacts of a project on the transportation system and to determine appropriate mitigation measures where impacts would occur. The City's TIA Guidelines are used by developers and consultants for the preparation of all TIAs. General criteria for determining whether a TIA is warranted include: • Project generates 100 or more vehicle trips during the AM or PM peak hour. • Project generates 40 or more vehicle trips through an existing intersection operating at Level of Service (LOS) D. • Project generates 10 or more vehicle trips through an existing intersection operating at LOS E or F. • Project changes an existing land use in the general or master plan. Trip generation for single-family homes is less than one trip per household in the morning and one trip in the evening; therefore, the project would not generate more than 36 trips during the AM and PM peak times. The Valley Trails Drive and Hopyard Road intersection currently operates at LOS C and the Hopyard Road and Stoneridge Drive intersection has a LOS of D during the PM peak hour. Therefore, the project would not contribute 40 or more trips to an intersection operating at LOS C or D. There are no LOS E or F intersections along Hopyard Road. The project would require a General Plan amendment; however, the proposed use would generate fewer trips with the General Plan land use change than public and institutional uses (hospitals, public schools, etc.) allowed under the existing land use designation. The City's Traffic Engineer determined that a TIA is not required as the project does not meet the general criteria for requiring a TIA; however, recognizing the concerns raised by the residents within the Valley Trails Neighborhood, the Traffic Engineer has conditioned the project such that the applicant would be responsible for retaining a professional services firm to assess the need for traffic calming measures within the Valley Trails Neighborhood. The applicant will also be responsible for implementing any traffic calming changes deemed Page 15 of 20
