2. Identify the potential positive impact of creating a community where there would be a subset of senior housing — maybe 25 percent, maybe 50 percent — one or two scenarios and what that would do to the school impact and the traffic impact. The answer could be overlaid into any of the scenarios for decision - making. 3. Have a full economic and fiscal analysis for each scenario, as is a common practice with large businesses. More importantly, the analysis should include not only a most - conservative or worst -case view of financials but also a best -case view and a most - likely or moderate view. 4. Do a detailed study on three El Charro Road configurations with supporting economics and traffic impacts. Very importantly, the traffic analysis needs to include the weekend impact of traffic, which is not normally done in many of the City's traffic studies but was brought up tonight, based on the numbers from Mike Tassano, City Traffic Engineer. In this situation, the weekend traffic impact is a significant quality -of -life impact for the neighborhoods, and it needs to be understood that while it will never be as bad as the weekday, it is a real impact. The three scenarios for the El Charro Road configurations are: a. a four -lane scenario as planned; b. a two -lane scenario which includes two angles: (1) no underpass or overpass; just a traffic light similar to going Downtown by the Pleasanton Hotel; and (2) have an overpass or underpass and show how much money can be saved from doing this and what its traffic impact is; and c. a "no El Charro Road" impact study. The reason for all three scenarios is that there are enough questions from this community about what the real answer is regarding El Charro Road, and absent having that, it would be just guessing. Another question is whether the traffic impact at the Valley Avenue /Santa Rita Road intersection will be better or worse with 2,200 homes and with El Charro Road versus 1,000 homes without El Charro Road. Without running these numbers, nobody will know if full justice was done on that open question that so many from the community have. 5. Add another scenario, if possible, that would look at a question of economics in a way that is different from any of the other alternatives already considered: What the least amount of homes that can be built is, assuming a 65 percent/35 percent mix, while still breaking even and having a financially feasible project, perhaps with a more moderate or more - likely assumption, possibly even a reduced El Charro Road. Again, this would be answering the question in a very different way than all the other alternatives already looked at; it is just a different approach, like looking at this through a whole different lens, to answering the question of whether there is another financially feasible project.
