Ranch Traffic Report") also analyzed the Concurrent Extension under project-level conditions, and refers the reader to the Staples Ranch Traffic Report for an assessment of the potential transportation impacts of the Project under the Concurrent Extension. (See, Draft EIR pages 3.9-1 and 5-34). As such, references to the Staples Ranch Traffic Study below corroborate rather than supplement the conclusions of the EIR or, in limited circumstances, provide details where the Draft EIR expressly refers the reader to the Staples Ranch Traffic Study for more details. Each of the Concurrent Extension Impacts is discussed below under the corresponding impact category in the Draft EIR, along with analyses of other key traffic intersections that would not be impacted by including the Concurrent Extension with the Project. A. Impact TR-1. Pleasanton Intersections. A comparison of Tables 34 and 35 of the Staples Ranch Traffic Report indicates that the significant level of service impacts of the Concurrent Extension under the Project are the same or less than those of the Deferred Extension in all but three of the intersections within the City. A comparison of Tables 36 and 37 of the Staples Ranch Traffic Report yields the same result for the Ice Center Alternative. (i) Concurrent Extension Impact Number 1 In the first instance, and with regard to both the Project and the Ice Center Alternative, the Concurrent Extension would generate traffic which would contribute to an unacceptable level of service at an intersection that, under the Deferred Extension, would not have been subject to the same significant impact until 2030 under cumulative conditions (Intersection No. 53, in the AM and PM peak hour for the Project and in the PM peak hour for the Ice Center Alternative; see Draft EIR Table 4-7 and Table 5-16). As such, the Concurrent Extension would introduce the significant impact at an earlier date than the Deferred Extension, but the impact remains the same and would be mitigated to a less than significant level by imposing the same mitigation measure (TR-7C, Improve EI Charro at Stoneridge, which, notably, must be imposed "when and if Stoneridge Drive is extended to EI Charro Road") identified by the Draft EIR at the project level and incorporated as part of the Project by the Final EIR. Intersection improvements will be less than significant. (see, Final EIR amending project description to make TR-7C part of the Project, Final EIR, page 3-117.) In addition, the Staples Ranch Traffic Report analysis recommended the same mitigation measure at a project level assuming Concurrent Extension under both the proposed project Stoneridge Drive Specitic Plan Amendment and Staples Ranch Project Environmental Impact Report Findings and Statement of Overriding Considerations Pagc 34 of 47
