Bringhurst LLC at 990 Sycamore Road Initial Study and Negative Declaration DISCUSSION a) The Pleasanton General Plan provides guidance for when a traffic analysis is required to determine impacts on the performance of the circulation system. Program 2.2 of the Circulation Element requires site-specific traffic studies for all major developments which have the potential to cause the LOS at one or more major intersections to exceed LOS "D," and implementation of the mitigation measures identified in these studies. In addition, the City generally requires a traffic study if one or more of the following criteria are triggered: 1. Project generates 100 or more vehicle trips during the A.M. or P.M. peak hours. 2. Project generates 40 or more vehicle trips during the A.M. or P.M. peak hours through an existing LOS D intersection. 3. Project generates 10 or more vehicle trips during the A.M. or P.M. peak hours through an existing LOS E or F intersection. Based on the 10th Generation of the Institute of Transportation Engineers Trip Generation Handbook, the four additional single-family homes would generate approximately 3 trips during A.M. peak hours and 4 trips during P.M. peak hours, which would be well below each of the above-listed criteria, and would therefore not require a traffic study. The project would improve pedestrian and bicycle circulation by providing a trail connection between the existing public trail along Sycamore Creek within the Bridle Creek development to the west and a future trail along Alisal Street to the southeast, in compliance with the City's Trails Master Plan. Therefore, this would be a less than significant impact. There are no significant traffic impacts associated with the project; therefore, no mitigation is warranted. The project will, however, be required to pay City and regional traffic impact fees, which will be used to help fund traffic improvements identified in the City's CIP. b) The Alameda County Congestion Management Agency's threshold for conducting a Congestion Management Program (CMP) traffic analysis is whether a project would add 100 or more new peak-hour trips. The project would not create 100 or more new peak hour trips and the project would not exceed, either individually or cumulatively, a level of service standard established by the Alameda County Congestion Management Agency for designated roads or highways. As a result, a CMP traffic analysis is not required. Therefore, the project impact would be less than significant. 43 36 tudies found that the proposed development would result in slight increase in surface water flow into Sycamore Creek, but the increase is not considered to be significant and would not result in substantial erosion or siltation on- or 31 event landslides, lateral spreading, subsidence, liquefaction and collapse on the project site.
