• Construct a Class IV facility along the property frontage adjacent to Stoneridge Mall Road (north).4 • Construct a mixed-use path along the east side of the property. Phases 2/3 • Construct Traffic Signal at the intersection of Springdale Avenue and the Project Driveway. • Construct improvements at Stoneridge Drive and Springdale Avenue. o Extend eastbound left turn pocket to provide 200 feet of storage capacity. o Convert the existing southbound left/through combination lane to a left turn only lane. o Convert the existing southbound right turn lane to a through/right combination lane. o Modify northbound approach to allow simultaneous northbound and southbound left turns. In addition to the Level of Service analysis, a Vehicle Miles Travelled (VMT) assessment was performed, as required by 2013 Senate Bill 743 for inclusion in the CEQA Analysis. The results of the VMT analysis, which relies on a series of screening criteria that have been established by the Governors Office of Planning and Research, concluded the project would have a less-than-significant impact on VMT, based both on the characteristics of the project, estimated VMT per employee, and its location within a half-mile of the BART station and a high-quality bus transit corridor. Additional information on the methodology and quantitative basis for the traffic study's conclusions is provided in the Planning Commission agenda report (Attachment 6), and in the Mitigated Negative Declaration (Attachment 1A). Parking For Phase I, the applicant is proposing to repurpose and utilize 483 existing surface level parking spaces on the subject site. The proposed parking ratio is approximately one space per 313 gross sq. ft for Phase 1, equivalent to 3.3 spaces per 1 ,000 square feet; and would retain this ratio at buildout, if the proposed six-level parking garage and surface parking is constructed. Being a PUD, parking requirements are determined on a case-by-case basis. The proposed parking ratios for Phase I and buildout are slightly less than the PMC's office parking requirement (in non-PUD zones) of one space per 300 gross sq. ft. The proposed parking ratio reflects a relatively small reduction of 1.4 percent or 18 spaces, compared to the typical PMC parking requirement for office uses. However, it is reasonable to conclude this reduction would be offset by fewer employees choosing to As noted,the site plan shows a shared bicycle/pedestrian path to the north side of Building 1; it remains the City's preference to construct a Class IV cycle-track(on-street,two-way bicycle facility)along the project frontage. However,the City Traffic Engineer has determined the applicant's proposal would be an acceptable alternative (subject to approval of detailed design)if site conditions are determined to make construction of the cycle track infeasible. 21
