Commissioner Nagler: So given the increased traffic flows in general and the potential impact <br /> of the EDZ, staff is comfortable with creating a buy in of U-turns at the end of that block as an <br /> overall traffic mitigation method? <br /> Luchini: It isn't a traffic mitigation but we've had a conversation with the Traffic Engineer on <br /> that and as far as the Chick-Fil-A traffic study analysis that was done there, there was a U-turn <br /> analysis done already and that's already been taken into account with this traffic study. So they <br /> are comfortable and staff is comfortable with the conclusions in the report. <br /> Commissioner Nagler: Including the additional U-turn traffic that would be generated by the <br /> traffic mitigation on the right turn only? <br /> Weinstein: Yes, so the traffic study looked at existing plus project conditions at that U-turn on <br /> Owens and they're finding that, again, we're looking at 95th percentile conditions, the <br /> westbound U-turn queue on Owens would be 100 feet during the AM peak hour and 75 feet or <br /> three vehicles during the PM peak hour. <br /> Beaudin: And really just to answer the question, the Traffic Engineering staff has reviewed the <br /> traffic report and we are accepting the conclusions in the report. I had similar questions about <br /> a comparable Starbucks location. I think that's something that I'm not completely comfortable <br /> about in terms of the analysis that's been done, but in terms of the queue lengths and the level <br /> of service analysis that's been done, we are accepting that at this point in the project. <br /> Commissioner Nagler: So the other impacts that are clear are the obvious ones—the ones on <br /> Johnson Court and on Larkspur Landing Drive or whatever it's called, so on either end of this <br /> development and the service levels change by at least one grade in each of those streets by <br /> virtue of this development, right? <br /> Weinstein: So in some of the other scenarios, the level of service changes by more than one <br /> grade, but what's happening in the existing plus approved conditions is that the level of service <br /> is not going beyond level of service D, so there are some cases in certain intersections with <br /> the project that the level of service is moving down a grade, but that's not considered a <br /> significant impact because that doesn't cause the level of service to go below D. So what we're <br /> saying is our impacts only in the cumulative scenario which is not only existing plus approved <br /> projects but foreseeable projects in the future. Typically the cumulative condition <br /> encompasses General Plan buildout as well. So if that's worsening those are the significant <br /> impacts that require mitigation. <br /> Beaudin: And the mitigations when they are cumulative are what we're collecting our traffic <br /> impact fee to attempt to mitigate over time. <br /> Commissioner Nagler: Right, and that gets back to things like right turn only. Okay, thank you. <br /> Commissioner Brown: Sorry, but I have a couple of quick questions. Where's the IKEA in <br /> Dublin going? <br /> Commissioner O'Connor: Down on Fallon. <br /> Excerpt: Planning Commission Minutes, September 28, 2016 Page 7 of 20 <br />itions shall apply to bars,brew pubs,microbreweries and wine bars:(1)The zoning administrator finds that adequate parking is available for <br /> said use;(2)If the zoning administrator determines that the use will be or is creating odor problems,an odor abatement device determined to be appropriate by the <br /> zoning administrator shall be installed within the exhaust ventilation system to mitigate brewery odors;(3)The applicant is in compliance with all applicable <br /> requirements of Chapter 9.04 of this code;(4)If operation of the use results in conflicts pertaining to parking,noise,odors,traffic,or other factors,the zoning <br /> administrator may modify or add conditions to mitigate such impacts,or may revoke the zoning certificate for the use. <br /> 5.
