City of Pleasanton—Stoneridge Mall Residential Project CEQA Checklist Section 15183 Checklist/15164 Addendum 170 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 The Local Traffic Analysis Memorandum (Appendix H) concluded that there is nothing unique about the proposed project or the project site that would trigger VMT impacts greater than what was anticipated in the Prior EIR. The proposed project implements the referenced General Plan policies encouraging high-density, infill development in mixed-use settings. In addition, the project site is located within 0.2 mile of the West Dublin/Pleasanton BART Station, and therefore is presumed to have low VMTs pursuant to the technical advisory published by the Governor’s Office of Planning and Research (OPR). As identified in the ABAG transit priority map, the project site is located within a TPA due to its proximity to the BART Station. The project site is also adjacent to complementary commercial and office uses, including Workday and the 10x Genomics headquarters south of the project site. The residents of the proposed multi-family units located within 0.2mile of BART and within walking distance of retail and office uses are anticipated to drive much less often, resulting in lower VMT per capita. Therefore, the proposed project meets the TPA Screening Criteria and, thus, would not conflict with CEQA Section 15064.3. Impacts would continue to be less than significant, and no mitigation is necessary, consistent with the Prior EIR. There are no proposed changes, new circumstances, or new information that would cause new or more severe impacts. Therefore, there are no transportation effects that are peculiar to the proposed project or the parcels on which the proposed project would be located. Impacts would be less than significant and the proposed project would not result in a new or more severe adverse impact that was not previously identified in the Prior EIR. c) Hazards Prior EIR Conclusions The Prior EIR concluded that implementation of the Housing Element would add new traffic to the existing circulation system, but that additional traffic volumes would not affect traffic safety of intersections and roadways because all roadway improvements associated with the Housing Element would be required to comply with all applicable design standards. Furthermore, it was concluded that roadway design features for individual developments would be evaluated for consistency with traffic engineering design standards, the City’s Fire Code, and the General Plan Circulation Element. Impacts were determined to be less than significant. Analysis of Proposed Project The proposed project is not proposing any design features that would substantially increase roadway hazards. All roadway design features would be designed to the latest City Code requirements. The elimination of five direct ingress/egress mall parking drive aisles on the east side of the project site, and elimination of two of the same on the south side, would reduce conflicts between retail traffic along the existing driveways and commuter traffic along Stoneridge Mall Road (east). In addition, the proposed project is not proposing any incompatible uses. Therefore, the proposed project would not conflict with the City’s adopted plans and policies as it relates to hazardous design features or incompatible uses. Impacts would continue to be less than significant, and no mitigation is
