Ponderosa Homes - Lehman/Selway Property - Environmental Checklist Kamp Drive is a residential collector roadway with several traffic calming elements in place. Sidewalks are present on both sides of the roadway. This roadway collects traffic from several residential streets and connects directly to Stoneridge Drive and Mohr Avenue. The proposed project will primarily feed traffic onto the City's arterial roadway network from Mohr Avenue. Mohr Avenue serves as a minor arterial collecting residential traffic from the Mohr-Martin, Mohr Park, P1easanton Village, Sycamore Place, Rosewood and Heritage Valley Neighborhoods. Mohr Avenue is a two-lane roadway with sidewalks on both sides. Mohr Avenue has the regional Iron Horse trail crossing about midway through the section. The majority of project trips pass through the Mohr Avenue intersection with Santa Rita Road. Santa Rita Road is a six-lane roadway with left turn pockets for protected access onto Mohr Avenue. The in- tersection of Santa Rita Road and Mohr Avenue is controlled by a five-phase traffic signal. Trip Generation and Traffic Analysis The proposed project would generate 23 a.m. peak hour trips and 24 p.m. peak hour trips. Program 2.2 of the Circulation Element of the P1easanton General Plan states, "Require site-specific traffic studies for all major developments which have the potential to Level Of Service "0", and require developers to implement the mitigation measures identified in these studies" A traffic study8 was completed for the proposal analyzing the "Existing/Baseline/ Approved" scenario and is incorporated into the Initial Study by reference. Approved projects consist of developments that have received final development plan approval from the City Council but are either not built, under con- struction, or partially occupied. Approved projects are used to forecast near term traffic conditions. Generation of future traffic volumes is based on information contained in the City's Baseline Approved land use database, which is typically updated annually to include current approvals and to delete ap- proved projects that have been constructed and occupied. Build-out projects consist of development that have not received final plan approval from the City but have been identified to be completed in the long term with the build out of the P1easanton General Plan. Since the proposed project is consistent with the Land Use Element of the Pleasanton General P1anl, thereby not requiring an amendment to the General Plan, a build-out traffic analysis was not required. The results of the traffic analysis indicate that the Santa Rita Road/Stoneridge Drive intersection oper- ates at LOS "E" for the p.m. peak hour: the total vehicle delay is 59 seconds. The proposed project will add 22 p.m. trips to this intersection and requires mitigation to obtain the minimum acceptable LOS "D". The following residential streets were analyzed using procedures defined in the City's Baseline Report: . Cameron A venue (residential) . Martin Drive (residential) . Kamp Drive (residential collector) These three roadways are defined as residential streets and residential collector streets. The City's Base- line Report describes the LOS thresholds for these streets in the table on the following page: PUD-50 and PTR-5572 Page 30 of 36 June 7, 2006
