• Required the Stoneridge Mall shopping center to participate in mitigation measures identified by the City to offset the anticipated traffic impacts if the 1-680NVest Las Positas Road freeway interchange is not built. • Defined the maximum height for all new shopping center buildings as not to exceed the height of the tallest existing department store, which is currently 68 feet. • Permitted parking decks up to a maximum height of three levels above grade. • Identified traffic improvements to nearby intersections that could be required by the Traffic Engineer to mitigate the impact of the additional floor area on traffic operations. On April 21, 2018, the City Council approved an amendment to the Development Agreement to extend the term of the agreement until December 2022. Environmental review for the Development Agreement was completed with an Initial Study/Negative Declaration and included traffic analyses which determined that the mall's traffic with the expansion will occur primarily off-peak and, therefore, would not impact surrounding streets and intersections during the critical a.m./p.m. peak -commute hours. The traffic analyses also identified improvements to Stoneridge Drive, Stoneridge Mall Road, and Foothill Road to handle the increased traffic resulting from the build -out of the building expansions allowed by the development agreements. These improvements were constructed and paid for by the major property owners on Stoneridge Mall Drive including Stoneridge Mall, Safeway, etc., through cost-sharing agreements. Staff notes that the traffic resulting from the total permitted floor area of 380,000 square feet is factored into the City's Baseline Traffic Reports and into the level -of -service (LOS) analyses for the City's General Plan update. AREA AND SITE DESCRIPTION The entire shopping center is located on an oval-shaped site, comprising several individual parcels, defined entirely by Stoneridge Mall Road.
