Transportation Impact Study for Hidden Canyon Residences & Preserve <br />March 2023 Page | 1 <br />EXECUTIVE SUMMARY <br />This report summarizes the results of the Transportation Impact Study (TIS) conducted for a proposed 30- <br />unit residential development with dedicated public park open space located on the south side of Dublin <br />Canyon Road in unincorporated Pleasanton, California. The TIS evaluated potential transportation impacts <br />resulting from the proposed project based on the City of Pleasanton’s significance criteria. Traffic <br />operations were evaluated at 10 study intersections during the weekday morning peak hours (7:00 a.m. to <br />9:00 a.m.) and evening peak hours (4:00 p.m. to 6:00 p.m.) under six study scenarios. The study <br />intersections were evaluated under No Project and plus Project scenarios for Existing, Near Term, and <br />Cumulative Conditions. The study area is illustrated on Figure 1. <br />PROJECT DESCRIPTION <br />The project site comprises four parcels totaling approximately 128.5 acres on the periphery of <br />Pleasanton’s northwestern city limit line. Two existing single-family dwellings are located on the eastern <br />portion of the project site. Ponderosa Homes II, Inc. proposes to develop the site with 30 single-family <br />detached houses, 28 new dwellings (lots 1 to 28) and replacement of the two existing dwellings (lots 29 <br />and 30). Approximately 70 acres would be transferred to the East Bay Regional Park District (EBPRD) for a <br />publicly accessible open space that would comprise 55 percent of the site area. Of note, previous <br />iterations of the development program included one additional residential unit (totaling 31); to be <br />consistent with previous iterations of this TIS and thus presenting a conservative assessment, the analysis <br />of the “plus Project” scenarios includes the additional unit. <br />The proposed site plan is shown on Figure 2 with more detailed site access points shown on Figure 2b <br />and 2c. Appendix A provides detailed project plans. Circulation within the residential portions of the site <br />would be accommodated by two proposed streets, identified as Street A and Street B on the proposed <br />plans: <br />• Street B would provide access to Lots 1 to 28 via an intersection with Dublin Canyon Road <br />approximately 300 feet west of Canyon Creek Circle. The intersection would be expanded to <br />provide a westbound left-turn lane from Dublin Canyon Road for inbound project traffic. As <br />proposed, most of Street B would have a curb-to-curb width of 28 feet, except the portion within <br />approximately 200 feet of Dublin Canyon Road that would widen to provide a turnaround with a <br />48-foot radius while the segment within approximately 100 feet of the intersection with Dublin <br />Canyon Road would have a width of approximately 80 feet, including a six-foot wide median. <br />Five-foot wide sidewalks would be constructed on both sides of the street except between Lots 2 <br />and 6 where the sidewalk would be limited to one side only. <br />• Street A would intersect Street B and would serve as internal circulation within the site and would <br />provide an emergency vehicle access (EVA) connection to an existing driveway located at 10971 <br />Dublin Canyon Road, located on the south side of Dublin Canyon Road, east of Canyon Meadows <br />Drive. The EVA portion of Street A would be paved to a width of 20 feet. The portions of Street A <br />that would provide direct access to residential parcels would be paved to a curb-to-curb width of
