Home Depot's Johnson Drive Store At its work session, the Planning Commission requested staff to consider the traffic impacts to the proposed Home Depot if the existing Home Depot on Johnson Drive were closed. Attached is the Letter from Greg George, Real Estate Manager for Home Depot on this question. As stated in Mr. George's letter, if the Johnson Drive store closes, an estimated 465 additional trips per weekday and 776 trips per weekend would then travel to the proposed Home Depot. However, according to Mr. George, the Johnson Drive store has nine years remaining on its lease; closing that store would leave a large portion of Home Depot's market share to competitors. However, should the Johnson Drive store close, some of those customers would use other building supply/hardware stores including the Lowe's planned for Dublin near the Dublin Boulevard/Tassajara Road intersection. Summary of Traffic Mitigations The following traffic mitigation measures and features are proposed: • The applicant will modify the existing eastbound right-turn lane on Stanley Boulevard to an eastbound through lane, continue the through-lane across the project's frontage, and re-construct the northbound free right turn lane on Bernal Avenue. As conditioned, project occupancy may not occur until the eastbound and northbound improvements are complete and accepted by the City. • The applicant will install a traffic signal at the Bernal Avenue/Utah Street intersection. • For the remaining impacted intersections, the applicant will pay City traffic mitigation fees and Tri-Valley Transportation Council fees -estimated to be approximately $2,000,000 - to construct improvements at these intersections. As conditioned, the total fees will be paid with issuance of the first building permit. • The applicant will pay for the purchase and installation of a radar speed detection sign for use by the City on Valley Avenue between Santa Rita Road and Stanley Boulevard. • The project provides the ability to ride a bicycle on a ten-foot wide and an eight- foot wide separated sidewalk on Stanley Boulevard and Bernal Avenue, respectively. These designated bike routes will be in addition to the bike lanes provided in the street rights-of-way. • The City will prioritize its Pavement Management Schedule to include resurfacing the section of Valley Avenue between Santa Rita Road and Busch Road with noise attenuating paving material before occupancy of the first building. The applicant will pay to the City upon demand the cost differential between standard pavement material and noise attenuating pavement materials. Page 14 of 22
