City of Pleasanton–Spotorno Ranch Reduced Development Project <br />Project Description Initial Study/Addendum <br /> <br /> <br />26 FirstCarbon Solutions <br />https://adecinnovations.sharepoint.com/sites/PublicationsSite/Shared Documents/Publications/Client (PN-JN)/2148/21480021/Consistency Checklist/21480021 Spotorno Ranch Consistency Checklist ScreenCheck.docx <br />2.3.3 - Stormwater <br />The Spotorno Ranch property is mostly undeveloped, and stormwater currently follows natural <br />drainage patterns, either emptying into existing wetlands, flowing off-site via existing drainage <br />ditches and ephemeral streams, or percolating into groundwater aquifers. <br />The proposed project would be subject to the Alameda Countywide Clean Water Program’s C.3 <br />Stormwater Technical Guidance, which require the provision of on-site stormwater treatment <br />facilities. Lots 13–15 (which front onto Westbridge Lane) would be treated by bioretention planters <br />within each lot that would discharge directly to Westbridge Lane through curb drain systems. <br />Stormwater drainage from the balance of the lots and project streets would be conveyed via <br />underground pipes to the treatment pond to be located within Parcel A. The bioretention planters <br />and Parcel A treatment pond would also serve as flow mitigation devices in accordance with the C.3 <br />hydromodification requirements. <br />Overall, the proposed project would create approximately 391,410 square feet of impervious <br />surface, according to the proposed stormwater treatment plan. In accordance with C.3 <br />requirements, a total of 26,650 square feet of bioretention areas would be constructed to provide <br />on-site treatment of stormwater. <br />2.3.4 - Circulation and Access <br />The 22 proposed residences would be accessed via Alisal Street and Westbridge Lane, both of which <br />are proposed to remain open to through traffic. As shown on Exhibit 3, the residential subdivision <br />would include one primary street, labeled as Spotorno Ranch Drive. Emergency access would be <br />provided via Spotorno Ranch Drive, proposed as a 41-foot, 6-inch-wide public street with an 8-foot <br />paved trail on one side of the road; a 5-foot paved sidewalk on the opposite side of the road, and <br />shoulders on both sides of the road. An 8-foot-wide paved trail with a 2-foot decomposed gravel <br />(DG) buffer on each side would be constructed along Westbridge Lane. That trail would then narrow <br />to approximately 6 feet wide adjacent to the wetland, extending through the open space area and <br />would ultimately connect to the Golf Course loop trail. In addition, an 8-foot-wide paved trail with <br />two feet of DG on each side would be constructed along the east and north sides of Parcel A, <br />continuing across the intersection of Alisal and Spotorno Ranch Drive, then following the southern <br />boundary of the Spotorno Flat Area, behind Parcels 15-16, and 19-22, to connect to the Westbridge <br />Trail. This trail would be called the Spotorno Flats Trail and would be partially located within a <br />dedicated parcel labeled as Parcel B. The project’s proposed circulation is shown in the site plan <br />(Exhibit 3) and the trails are shown in Exhibit 7a and Exhibit 7b. <br />Construction of the Bypass Road contemplated in the HVSP is not proposed as part of this <br />application since the proposed 22 residences with ADUs would not result in traffic conditions that <br />would necessitate the construction of a bypass road. Furthermore, as no development is proposed <br />for HVSP Lots 96 and 97, which were to have 5 and 75 new homes, respectively, the segment of the <br />proposed Bypass Road on the subject Lot 98 is not needed as it would just result in a dead end if <br />built at this time.
