Ms. Michelotti thought the model was to give a worst case scenario in the buildout figures. She asked if Mayor Tarver wanted only baseline and existing traffic. Mayor Tarver said staff made assumptions based upon people asking about whether or not it may be possible to get additional square footage. This significantly adds to the buildout figure. He felt this should be excluded until Council can solve the current problems. He did not want any projects included in projections for five years unless it has been approved. He wanted to see if existing plus approved is the same figure. Then Council can decide how to mitigate future projects. Ms. Ayala agreed. She felt Council should start with the existing plan approved projects and as other projects come forward have a model done showing the impacts. Ms. Michelotti had a concern with the forthcoming anticipated annexation and agreement with the San Francisco project and how the scenarios would fit. Ms. Ayala said a model could be done for the existing plus approved projects and then a model including San Francisco. Mayor Tarver said he would comply with the agreements made with San Francisco. Ms. Dennis said there are different categories of mitigation. She agreed with separating the current projects from the non-approved projects. She felt it was helpful to look at the entire General Plan, but as a separate category in Council's discretion. She thought Council may want to look at the possibilities for the future and it would be helpful to have access to that information. She said Council should look at regional cooperation. Ms. Michelotti said there are anticipated improvements to the interchanges that will be made from the City of Dublin. Mayor Tarver was not implying that the General Plan be dropped. He said if Council wants to be fair and equitable it needs to look at the buildout of the General Plan. Ms. Dennis wanted to explore the time dimension at the intersections regarding how long does the peak/delay last. Mr. van Gelder said other cities have used level of service F4 or F3, with the number indicating how many hours the level of service will be bad. Staff can try and look at this, but staff's goal is how to avoid that level of service in the first place. He said if Council concurs with the Mayor, staff has clear direction on how to modify the model. Staff will look at anything that relates to land use lower trips rather than higher trips. Ms. Dennis would like mitigations looked at that have to do with public transit. Pleasanton City Council Minutes 20 09/15/98
