Mr. Van Gelder said Stoneridge is listed in the General Plan as a major thoroughfare. Ms. Ayala asked staff to address some of Mr. Pretzel's concerns. Mr. Van Gelder said the 1-580/Hopyard interchange at the present moment did not have considerable cut-through traffic but would probably be an alternative in the future. A report was not done on this area purely because of cost. The model was done to project the time and delays and diversions accurately on a system of routes. Projections are shown for Bemal even though videos were not done of the area. The Traffic Department will continue to look at this route to assure that cut-through projections are done. The report concluded that if a vehicle is on the freeway at Stoneridge it would be quicker to use Stoneridge to Santa Rita, rather than stay on Hopyard to the freeway. Most of the delays initiate at Santa Rita. There were no further speakers. It was moved by Ms. Ayala, seconded by Ms. Michelotti, to accept the amended Arterial Cut-through Traffic Study dated March 1998; direct staff to include cut-through traffic projections as part of the 1998 Baseline Traffic Report; and direct staff to develop recommendations regarding mitigating measures for cut-through traffic, in particular, the option of ramp metering. The roll call vote was as follows: AYES: Councilmembers - Ayala, Dennis, Michelotti, Pico and Mayor Tarver. NOES: None ABSENT: None ABSTAIN: None Mayor Tarver reiterated his desire to have discussions about signal timing as an option as well.

Zoning for the property is PUD (Planned Unit Development) - A (Agricultural) District. Brian Swirl presented the staff report.
