anxious for Workday to build something so they will get some ridership off of this; and the City can take advantage of this location as well. Commissioner Ritter jokingly commented that the State never changes its mind, and the government does not either, and inquired how the numbers went down by 1,000 units. He further inquired what the chances are that the State will change it again after it has revamped all of its RHNA numbers. Mr. Dolan replied that the City has its numbers for the next Housing Element which it needs to complete by the end of this year. He noted that there will not be another RHNA assignment for another eight years. He noted that it is difficult to say which direction it will go and that a lot of it depends on the economy. Commissioner Ritter stated that he does not want the City to be sued again based on what it does now. Mr. Dolan replied that he does not really see that happening. He explained that the last time the City was behind, it did not have the zoning for the numbers it was assigned, but it has extra units this time. Commissioner Ritter referred to Figure 5 of the transportation analysis and noted that it looked like there was an error on No. 10 on the turn lanes, which shows they are all going right when they probably should be going left onto the freeway. He noted that No. 3 and No. 10 are going to be the most commonly used, and No. 10 will be adding an extended turn lane to get more vehicles going onto the 1 -580 freeway. He pointed out that the arrows seem to be going the wrong direction, and he wanted to make sure that got corrected because it did not make sense. Mike Tassano replied that the arrows will all be switched the right way. He noted that he does not really look at the arrows as opposed to ensuring the number is correct. Commissioner Ritter stated that when he was looking at the numbers, it looked like traffic did not go up that much based on the buildout plans. He noted that it mostly went up in the A.M. and not the P.M., and sounded like the A.M. traffic was busy getting on and off Stoneridge Drive and Stoneridge Mall Road. Mr. Tassano replied that was correct and added that the P.M. traffic is busy as well. He stated that one of the things seen in the cumulative hour is that there is a lot of congestion, so there is already some spreading that occurs. He added that it is one of those things that needs to be balanced: how much traffic is going to be there, and where that other traffic is going to be diverted to. He noted that there would be more diversion in traffic farther away from this project, which the City also analyzes to make sure it works, although it is not included in this report. Commissioner Ritter noted that it looked like it went to two lanes versus three lanes PLANNING COMMISSION MINUTES, April 23, 2014 Page 9 of 27
