City of Pleasanton—Stoneridge Mall Residential Project CEQA Checklist Section 15183 Checklist/15164 Addendum 168 FirstCarbon Solutions Https://adecinnovations.sharepoint.com/sites/PublicationsSite/Shared Documents/Publications/Client (PN-JN)/2148/21480017/Consistency Checklist/21480017 Stoneridge Mall Residential Project Checklist Addendum_Updated.docx Road and Stoneridge Drive.107 Program 23.1 in the General Plan Circulation Element requires developers to finance and install bicycle pathways where appropriate. The City has requested that the proposed project dedicate public right-of-way and reserve a public access easement area, or setback, along the property frontage to incorporate upgraded pedestrian and bicycle facilities along Stoneridge Mall Road both east and south of the project site, to be constructed by the City at a later date. These facilities will further reinforce the connection of the project with the nearby BART and Wheels services as well as other nearby neighborhood locations. Furthermore, the proposed project would provide 230 bicycle parking spaces (214 long-term and 16 short-term). As such, the proposed project would not conflict with the City’s adopted plans and policies as it relates to bicycle facilities. Pedestrian Access and Circulation Pedestrian access to the project site is provided via sidewalks, which exist on the east side of Stoneridge Mall Road (east), both sides of Embarcadero Court, and the south side of Genomics Place. These sidewalks provide access from the adjacent office land uses, residential uses, and the West Dublin/Pleasanton BART Station. There are crosswalks at the Stoneridge Mall Road/Embarcadero Court intersection on the east and south legs. There are also crosswalks on all four legs at the intersection of Stoneridge Mall Road and Genomics Place. General Plan Circulation Element Program 23.1 requires developers to finance and install sidewalks where appropriate. The proposed project would construct sidewalks adjacent to the project site and extend to existing pedestrian facilities along the north–south and east–west Stoneridge Mall Road frontages. Internal to the project site, a sidewalk would be provided on the south side of Drive Aisle A, which provides access to the residential buildings and to the retail uses to the west. A sidewalk is also proposed at the east side of Drive Aisle B. These project features support General Plan Policy 23, which seeks to create and maintain a safe and convenient pedestrian system which encourages walking as an alternative to driving. As such, the proposed project would not conflict with the City’s adopted plans and policies as it relates to pedestrian facilities. Transit Facilities Policy 5 and Program 36.5 of the Housing Element encourage residential development near public transit facilities. The location of the proposed project site would encourage use of public transit; the project site is approximately 0.2 mile from the West Dublin/Pleasanton BART Station and 0.1 mile away from the bus stop at Stoneridge Mall Road and McWilliams Lane, which is serviced by Wheels Bus Routes 3, 53, 603, and 604 bus lines, and 300 feet from the Stoneridge Mall Road and Embarcadero Court bus stop, which is serviced by the Wheels Bus Routes 3 and 53. Project residents and visitors can access this bus stop and the BART Station via the internal pedestrian facilities and the crosswalks at the intersection of Stoneridge Mall Road and Embarcadero Court. The proposed project is centrally located to provide residents and patrons with access to these existing transit facilities. As such the proposed project would comply with City transit policies. As discussed above, the proposed project would not conflict with City policies as they relate to pedestrian, bicycle, and roadway systems and thus would not introduce any new impacts to these 107 City of Pleasanton. 2018.
