ATTACHMENT 11 f P E St PFFRS TRANSPORTATION CONSULTANTS MEMORANDUM Date: November 10, 2009 To: Josh Pack, City of Pleasanton From: Kathrin Tellez and Matt Plumb, Fehr & Peers Subject: Pleasanton Gateway - Updated Transportation Assessment WC08 -26048 The Pleasanton Gateway project was envisioned to contain 714,075 square feet of development at buildout including: 588,500 square feet of office, a 65,000 square foot grocery store, 59,695 square feet of retail, and a 10 -pump gas station with an 880 square foot sales area. Fehr & Peers evaluated the potential off-site transportation impacts of that project, which were documented in Transportation Impact Study Pleasanton Gateway Retail /Office Plaza, June 2009 (June 2009 Study). At this time, the developer proposes to move forward with a modified retail center (Proposed Project) with the office components to be built at a later date. This memorandum presents the results of the transportation assessment for the modified retail component of the project, which differs from the retail component of the project analyzed in the June 2009 Study in the following aspects: • The new plan has an 8 -pump service station — the old plan had a 10 -pump service station. • The new plan has a 65,950 square -foot shopping center, including a 14,000 square foot pharmacy with drive - through, resulting in an additional 5,400 square feet of shopping center uses than the old plan • The grocery store in the new plan is 58,000 square feet with a potential 7,000 square foot expansion — the old plan had a 65,000 square -foot grocery store. For the purposes of this assessment, we have analyzed the grocery store as 58,000 square feet. This study compares the trip generation and distribution of prior project to the Proposed Project and provides an assessment of the operations of the intersection on Bernal Avenue between 1- 680 and Valley Avenue for the near -term condition with the Proposed Project. ANALYSIS SUMMARY The results of this assessment indicate that the Proposed Project would generate significantly less traffic than the project analyzed in the June 2009 report. Trip distribution patterns would also shift, as the retail components of the project are expected to generated more traffic from the local area (to serve local shopping needs), rather than attract regional traffic. Intersection operations (levels of service and vehicle queuing) on Bernal Avenue that directly influence project site access (1 -680 southbound and northbound ramps, Koll Center Drive, and Valley Avenue) were reevaluated with the reduction in Project traffic and shift in project trip distribution. Intersection levels of service and vehicle queuing were analyzed assuming modified full access to the site from Bernal Avenue (access remains unchanged to Koll Center Drive to the 100 Pringle Avenue, Suite 600 Walnut Creek, CA 94596 (925) 930 -7100 Fax (925) 933 -7090 www.fehrandpeers.com
