The Pleasanton General Plan requires site-specific traffic studies for all major developments <br /> which have the potential to exceed Level of Service (LOS) D at major intersections and <br /> requires developers to implement the mitigation measures identified in these studies to <br /> maintain LOS D or better. Exceptions are made for the Downtown and Gateway Intersections3 <br /> where the LOS D or better standard may be exceeded. A traffic study was prepared by Fehr & <br /> Peers, acting as the City's traffic consultant, to analyze the traffic and circulation for this <br /> project. <br /> Intersection levels of service were calculated to assess the project's consistency with City <br /> General Plan operational thresholds. This was determined by measuring the effect proposed <br /> project traffic would have on sixteen (16) intersections in the vicinity of the subject site during <br /> the morning (7 a.m. to 9 a.m.) and evening (4 p.m. to 6 p.m.) peak periods. Traffic scenario <br /> conditions were evaluated under Existing, Near-term, and Cumulative conditions without and <br /> with the proposed project as follows: <br /> • Scenario 1 : Existing Conditions — Existing volumes obtained from traffic counts and the <br /> existing roadway system configuration. Project trip estimates and assignment for the <br /> recently completed Workday headquarters were added to the volumes obtained from 2019 <br /> traffic counts in this and subsequent analysis scenarios as this Workday building is now <br /> occupied but was not yet occupied at the time data was collected. This Workday building is <br /> expected to generate up to 574 morning peak hour trips and 522 evening peak hour trips <br /> based on the Workday Pleasanton Campus Transportation Assessment completed by Fehr <br /> & Peers in 2016. Counts reflecting full occupancy of this building were not available due to <br /> COVID-19. <br /> • Scenario 2: Existing with Project — Existing volumes obtained from traffic counts and the <br /> existing roadway system configuration plus traffic estimated for the project. The roadway <br /> system is the same as Scenario 1 , except for changes proposed as part of the proposed <br /> project. <br /> • Scenario 3: Existing Plus Approved Projects (EPAP) No Project Conditions — Existing <br /> volumes plus traffic estimates for approved developments and/or traffic increases due to <br /> regional growth. This scenario reflects a future occupied fully functional retail development <br /> on the proposed project subject site consistent with the General Plan and as reflected in <br /> the City's travel demand model (164,000 square-feet of retail). This scenario also includes <br /> buildout of the Johnson Drive Economic Development Zone (JDEDZ) and associated <br /> roadway improvements on Stoneridge Drive, Stoneridge Mall Road, and Foothill Road. No <br /> additional roadway improvements were assumed. Redevelopment of a portion of the <br /> Stoneridge Mall is currently planned on the north side of Stoneridge Mall Road, which could <br /> change the configuration of drive aisles and access locations to Stoneridge Mall Road. <br /> • Scenario 4: EPAP Plus Proposed Project — Scenario 3 plus land use and roadway network <br /> changes proposed as part of the proposed project. <br /> 3 Per the General Plan, consideration may be given to traffic improvements at Gateway Intersections when it is <br /> determined that such improvements are necessary and are consistent with maintaining visual character, <br /> landscaping, and pedestrian amenities. <br /> PUD-139 and P20-0973, 10x Genomics, Inc.
