Assuming the City Council finds this concept acceptable, there are presently five <br />potential sites available in the City where this density could be applied: <br />^ The BART property by Stoneridge Mall. <br />^ The Staples Ranch property. <br />^ The remaining vacant properties in the Hacienda Business Park, which would <br />facilitate atransit-oriented development in close proximity to business park <br />employment. <br />^ The 45.77 acre Merritt property designated for Low Density Residential land uses <br />with a maximum density of 92 units and amid-point density of 46 units. <br />^ The properties pending review under the future East Pleasanton Specific Plan. <br />(Staff understands that conceptually, 250 units would be envisioned with this <br />plan.) <br />The above-identified sites would provide the opportunity to locate an additional 47 units. <br />Traffic, Parking, and Off-/On-Site Circulation <br />During the scoping session and subsequent public comments sessions on the DEIR, <br />community members raised the following concerns relating to traffic: <br />^ Impact on existing traffic problems at the following intersections: Hearst <br />Drive/Bernal Avenue and Hearst Drive/Concord Street; <br />^ Impact on the existing character of surrounding neighborhoods and streets. <br />^ Concern that concentrating all of the project's traffic on a single access road <br />would cause congestion; <br />^ Suggested potential second access roads. <br />^ Safety of bicyclists and pedestrians especially children; <br />^ Inclusion of adequate sidewalks; <br />^ Traffic generated by the open space uses; <br />^ Accessibility for emergency vehicle access to and from the site; and, <br />^ Impact of traffic generated during the construction of the project. <br />PUD-33 Page 20 of 59 June 13, 2007 <br />
