Commissioner Innes asked Mr. Ferreri whether or not he commissioned any studies to address the traffic impacts at Dublin and Foothill Roads. Mr. Ferreri said this item was discussed in the EIR and discussed other properties in the area as well. Commissioner Innes said he would have a tough time supporting 7,000 car trips per day with High Density Residential and make the intersection LOS "F". Mr. Ferreri argued that the Stoneridge Drive interchange and other freeway improvements will reduce this negative factor. Further, they would be willing to participate in whatever traffic mitigation measures would be required. Mr. Ferreri referred to Sharon Heights in Menlo Park which had reached a LOS E. A left-hand turn was eliminated and the problem resolved. Perhaps a "U Turn" could be required at the Foothill Professional building and elimination of a left-hand turn. He proposed there are several possibilities to resolution of traffic concerns. Chairman Lindsey asked if this parcel was developed Low Density Residential what the impacts would be -- would the intersection still be LOS "F". Mr. Swift stated the traffic studies done under the proposed General Plan having this property as Low Density Residential at this intersection in connection with all other improvement plans still show the intersection at the high range of LOS "D". The primary change in this area would come with a change in Mozart's land from Commercial and Offices to High Density Residential. Commissioner Berger asked about the number of two bedroom units.

Mike McKissick, President, Presley Properties, 1850 Mt. Diablo, Walnut Creek 94596, said they have been working with staff. He said if what the General Plan proposal will allow is 1-1/2 units per acre which on 270 acres yields 400 units they would be in - 4 - _._...__.__ _ - ____ ._ -__ _....._ ..r -_ _ ..___ __ _ _ ., T_
