Development impact fees payable by the project to be credited back to the developer to <br /> offset these costs. Although the traffic impact analysis notes that the pedestrian <br /> conditions along Alisal Street pre-exist the project and are not caused by it, the <br /> applicant has agreed to pay for costs exceeding the value of fee credits, up to 11 <br /> percent of the value of the fee credits —this proportion approximates in the additional <br /> traffic volume on Alisal Street that the project would generate. Installing the pedestrian <br /> improvements on Alisal Street the time of the other subdivision improvements, and the <br /> further commitment to contribute funds to facilitate design and construction, is of benefit <br /> to the Happy Valley neighborhood and local community, and is supported by staff. <br /> Westbridge Lane <br /> The western segment of Westbridge Lane is identified in the HVSP as the Golf Course <br /> Emergency Vehicle Access (EVA). The HVSP requires the construction of a bypass <br /> road to accommodate all of the traffic created by the golf course, homes at the golf <br /> course (Mariposa Ranch), and development of the Spotorno property. After the bypass <br /> road is constructed, the HVSP anticipates the western end of Westbridge Lane would <br /> be closed (at approximately 2215 Westbridge Lane) to through traffic and used only for <br /> emergency vehicle access. <br /> The bypass road is not part of the proposal. Hence, the applicant intends to leave <br /> Westbridge Lane as it currently is configured, allowing for through vehicle traffic. The <br /> Transportation Assessment analysis indicates there would be a 5 percent increase in <br /> cumulative weekday daily roadway segment volumes on Westbridge Lane with the <br /> project. Staff finds this increase is minor; thus, retaining Westbridge Lane as a through <br /> street is acceptable. <br /> The Transportation Assessment report is included as part of Attachment 6. <br /> Planned Unit Development Plan Considerations <br /> § 18.68.110 of the PMC sets forth purposes of the Planned Unit Development (PUD) <br /> District and seven separate considerations to be addressed in reviewing a PUD <br /> development plan, including whether the PUD development plan would be compatible <br /> with developed properties in the vicinity. Should the City Council elect to support the <br /> proposed project, the attached draft ordinance for approval of the PUD rezoning and <br /> development plan lists the required findings of conformance with each of the PUD <br /> considerations. <br /> Vesting Tentative Subdivision Map Considerations <br /> As a part of the project, the applicant proposes to subdivide the approximately 112-acre <br /> site into 25 lots with 22 new single-family residential lots, two HOA-owned and <br /> maintained lots, and one lot retained by the Spotorno family with a conservation <br /> easement. A Vesting Tentative Map confers a vested right to proceed with a <br /> development in substantial compliance with the ordinances, policies, and standards in <br /> effect at the time an application for the map is deemed complete. Should the City <br /> Council elect to support the proposed project, the attached draft ordinance lists the <br /> Page 15 of 18 <br />
