• Since other city streets, such as Santa Rita Rd. and Valley Ave., are not designated trucks routes, no commercial vehicle (over three tons) is permitted to use those streets. Under the City's traffic regulations, an exception to this prohibition on city streets is if such a truck over three tons had already made a delivery in the city via a legal route and then needed to make a delivery at this shopping center. In that case, the truck would be allowed to get to the center by the most direct route available, including Valley Avenue. In addition, staff is working with the applicant and the owners of EI Charro Rd., a private street owned by Legacy Partners and Vulcan Materials, to allow Regency's delivery trucks (coming from the west) to use EI Charro Rd as an alternative. This would provide another option to Rt. 84 and Stanley Blvd. for delivery trucks serving the shopping center. Staff believes that this clarified condition would be much more practical and enforceable, would keep the biggest trucks off city streets, would allow the use of the City's designated truck route for commercial vehicles which are not "delivery trucks", would allow small trucks to use city arterials, and would not shift all delivery trucks onto Livermore streets. Staff has also clarified the restrictions on delivery hours so that the trucks would not be using local streets or loading/unloading during sensitive hours. These restrictions would include the following: • No delivery vehicles of any type would be allowed to enter the site and/or be allowed to load/unload on weekdays between the hours of 10:00 p.m. and 6:00 a.m.; • No delivery vehicles of any type would be allowed to enter the site on weekdays between the peak hours of 7:00 a.m. and 9:00 a.m. and between 4:00 p.m. and 6:00 p.m.; • No delivery vehicles of any type and/or no loading/unloading of any delivery vehicles would be allowed on weekends beginning at 8:00 p.m. on Friday evening until 6:00 a.m. on Monday. The applicant has agreed with these conditions. Fnfnrramant Concerns were expressed at the community workshop regarding enforcement of the conditions of approval, especially with regard to the required truck routes, delivery requirements, and other operational issues. Staff is aware that other communities have experienced enforcement problems with Home Depot, and we have considered these issues in creating an enforcement plan best suited for this project. Due to concerns with truck delivery traffic, staff has focused on ways to achieve compliance should the project be approved and constructed. While staff has reviewed the enforcement situations in other communities, we have tried to develop a plan which Page 9 of 14
