12 Agenda Report - Laserfiche WebLink

For the remaining impacted intersections listed in Table 3 of the Dowling report (Attachment 12, pp. 9-10), the applicant is required to pay City traffic mitigation fees (TIF) and Tri-Valley Transportation Council fees - estimated to be approximately $2,000,000. These funds will be used to construct improvements at these intersections identified above. These fees are in addition to the construction of the Stanley BoulevardNalley Avenue/Bernal Avenue intersection improvements, as well as the construction of the traffic signal at the intersection of Bernal Avenue and Utah Street (discussed below). The applicant's payment of traffic fees along with the construction of the StanleyNalley/Bernal intersection improvements and installation of the traffic signal at Bernal Avenue and Utah Street implements General Plan Circulation Element policies. Future EI Charro Road/Stanley Boulevard Intersection As conditioned, the property owner will participate in the establishment of an improvement district for the EI Charro Road/Stanley Boulevard intersection and will pay the development's pro-rata share of the intersection's costs. The EI Charro Road/Stanley Boulevard intersection is part of the future EI Charro Road roadway alignment connecting 1-580 to Stanley Boulevard, thereby bypassing Santa Rita Road and Valley Avenue. The configuration of EI Charro Road and the design of the future intersection will be determined as part of the future East Pleasanton Specific Plan. However, this project's share of those costs would be relatively small based upon its land area - 15.91 acres - and the estimated East Pleasanton Specific Plan area - 500 acres. The applicant has reviewed and accepted this requirement. Valley Avenue Traffic Levels, Noise, and Noise Attenuatinq Pavement Material Valley Avenue neighbors have expressed their concerns regarding the proposed project and its impact to'the Valley Avenue traffic levels and traffic noise. Although the total delay added to the intersections along Valley Avenue is generally shown to be less than one second, the neighbors living in the Valley Avenue developments have expressed concern with traffic safety, noise, and speeding due to existing and project-generated traffic volumes on Valley Avenue. Based upon the neighborhood comments made at the public hearing on truck traffic and traffic noise on Valley Avenue, the City is modifying its Pavement Management Schedule to include resurfacing the portion of Valley Avenue between Santa Rita Road and Busch Road with noise-attenuating material before occupancy of the first building covered by this approval. The applicant is required to the pay to the City the cost difference between the noise-attenuating material and standard pavement material. The applicant has reviewed and accepted this requirement. As conditioned, the route for Home Depot delivery vehicles and construction equipment/materials to/from this development shall be State Route 84 and Stanley Boulevard. No construction traffic of any type may use Valley Avenue and/or Bernal Avenue south of Nevada Court for any reason. Page 11 of 21
