ADJOURNMENT (OVER FOR PROCEDURE SUMMARY) CITY OF DUBLIN PLANNING COMMISSION AGENDA STATEMENTLS1 AFF REPORT for May 27,1997 PROJECT: PA 97-007 The Villas at Santa Rita Planned Development Rezone PREPARED BY: Jeri Ram,Associate Plannerl(( DESCRIPTION: A Planned Development Rezone for a 324 unit Multi-Family Project RECOMMENDATION: Recommend to City Council adoption of an Ordinance establishing a Planned Development and a Resolution adopting specific Development Standards for the 11.9 acre Villas at Santa Rita Development. BACKGROUND: Site History: The City Council approved an amendment to the Eastern Dublin Specific Plan for the entire Santa Rita area(primarily owned by The Alameda County Surplus Property Authority)in October,1996. As-part of that action,this site was given a new Specific Plan and General Plan Land Use Designation of Medium High Density Residential. Processing Steps: This project will include a Planned Development Rezone and DevelopmentAgreement to be approved by the City Council and a Tentative Parcel Map and Site Development Review to be approved by staff. It is anticipated that the Development Agreement will be heard by the Planning Commission in June or July,1997. ANALYSIS: Project Description: Attached to this staff report is a Land Use and Development Plan(Exhibit A)and a Resolution (Exhibit B)presenting specific development regulations for the development of the Villas at Santa Rita Multi-Family Project. It is a culmination of the work of the land owner,the developer and the City to guide and direct the eventual development of the 11.9 acre site. The project includes a 324 unit apartment complex with a pool and recreation building.The project includes more than 5 acres of open space. The ability of the developerto provide a COPIES TO:Security Capital Pacific Trust Alameda County Surplus ITEM NO. Property Authority PA File PAGE I OF, development at this density without sacrificing private open space within the development is created in large part from placing 224 parking spaces below ground. General Plan/Specific Plan Consistency: Approval of a Planned Unit Development is a requirement of the Eastern Dublin Specific Plan. This application satisfies the submittal requirements under the Plan. In October,1996,the City Council approved a General Plan and Specific Plan Amendment that changed the land use designation of the site from Neighborhood Commercial to Medium High Density Residential(14.1-25.0 dwelling units per acre). The calculation of the density requirement is based on the gross acreage. The gross acreage of the site is 14.1 which results in a density of 23 units to the acre which is consistent with the General Plan and Eastern Dublin Specific Plan. Development Standards: Development standards have been provided in Exhibit 1 of the Resolution approving the General Provisions and Development Standards. These standards are also reflected directly on the Land Use and Development Plan(Exhibit A). Based on a review of the Land Use and Development Plan,the Planning Commission can see how the development works under the proposed Standards. Originally,Staff had a concern with the proposed parking ratio of 1.9 per dwelling unit. The current Zoning Ordinance requires 2 spaces per dwelling unit and the proposed Zoning Ordinance would require 1.8 spaces per studio or one bedroom and 2.8 spaces per two or more bedrooms. However,based on a review of two studies by the engineering firm of Barton Aschman Associates,Inc., it was determined that when only one space is reserved per unit,a 1.9 parking • ratio is an appropriate ratio.To ensure that only one space is assigned,staff has written this requirement into the General Provisions and Development Standards. The Standards and Land Use and Development Plan set the standards for development of the site. Where the Resolution and Land Use Plan are silent,the development of the site will rely upon the Zoning Ordinance that is currently in effect at the time of the development or any future modification to the site. Conclusion: Approval of this Planned Unit Development will implement provisions of the Eastern Dublin Specific Plan. The proposal is consistent with both the General Plan and Specific Plan. This document,once approved,will direct staff through the Site Development Review process to assure a higher quality development. 2 "nf Qh i GENERAL INFORMATION: APPLICANT: Security Capital Pacific Trust 22320 Foothill Boulevard,Fourth Floor Hayward,CA 94541 PROPERTY OWNER: Alameda County Surplus Property Authority 224 W.Winton Avenue,#151 Hayward,California 94544 LOCATION: Approximately 11.89 net acres at the northeast corner of Dublin Boulevard and Hacienda Drive in the Eastern Dublin Specific Plan area APN 986-001-001(por).

BACKGROUND: Based upon the Tri-Valley Traffic Model which the City is now using, roadway lane requirements in Eastern Dublin need revision. City Staff has conducted both individual and group meetings with Eastern Dublin property owners to discuss the results of the most up-to-date Tri-Valley Model run. Eastern Dublin property owners have also received two letters explaining proposed amendments to the Eastern Dublin Specific Plan and the City General Plan - Traffic and Circulation Element. The letters have included the proposed plan amendments. The proposed amendments will correct minor discrepancies between the Specific Plan wording and the City General Plan and will correct minor discrepancies between figures and text within the Specific Plan document. After review by the Planning Commission, proposed amendments to the Eastern Dublin Specific Plan and the City General Plan - Traffic and Circulation Element will be presented to the City Council. It is anticipated that the proposed amendments will be heard by the City Council at their regular meeting on June 17, 1997. COPIES: Ken Wan Ted Fairfield Pat Cashman John DiManto ITEM: ; , al _((� r g:lagenmisclp/circ PA"` L� - ANALYSIS: Project Description: The City of Dublin Public Works Department is proposing amendments to the Eastern Dublin Specific Plan and the City General Plan (EDSP) - Traffic and Circulation Element. The purpose of this amendment is to update the roadway network lane requirements based on the Tri-Valley Traffic Model run. The Tri-Valley Traffic Model uses the most current information on land use and circulation networks available. The City of Dublin,the Tri-Valley Transportation Council and surrounding communities have now adopted the Traffic Model to predict future traffic volumes and patterns. Changes in the required number of lanes is the result of using this more accurate modeling tool. The City is not proposing to change any land uses at this time. The Tri-Valley Traffic Model recommends changes such as a need for eight lanes on Tassajara Road from Dublin Boulevard to Central Parkway where the Eastern Dublin Specific Plan currently requires six lanes. In another example, the model indicates a need for fewer lanes on Fallon Road (four lanes where the Plan currently calls for six). The Model suggests that Fallon Road warrants only four lanes from Tassajara Road to north of Gleason Drive,rather than six lanes. The full text of the proposed amendments is attached as Exhibit A. Some of the changes to roadway lane requirements are as follows: EASTERN DUBLIN SPECIFIC PLAN CHANGES REVISED ROADWAY LANE REQUIREMENTS FROM TO Tassajara Road,from Dublin Blvd.to Central Parkway 6 8 Fallon Road,south of Tassajara Road 6 4 Fallon Road,from Dublin Blvd.to Central Parkway 6 8 Central Parkway,from east of Fallon Road 2 4 Hacienda Drive,from Gleason to Central Parkway 6 4 GENERAL PLAN CHANGES *Unspecified REVISED ROADWAY LANE REQUIREMENTS FROM TO Dougherty Road,from Dublin Blvd.to 1-580 6 8 Dublin Blvd.,from Dougherty to Scarlett Drive (uns)* 6 Scarlett Drive,between Dougherty&Dublin Blvd. (uns)* 4 Dublin Blvd.,from Dougherty Road to Village Parkway 4 6 Stagecoach Road (uns)* 2 Amador Valley Blvd.,from York Drive to Village Parkway 2 4 Dublin Blvd.,from Donlon Way to Silvergate Drive 3 4 Dublin Blvd.,west of Inspiration Drive (uns)* 2 Western Dublin BART Station Extension Road (uns)* 3 PAGE P OF 2 1 2 City Staff has received comments in response to City letters and meetings with Eastern Dublin property owners. The majority of comments and concerns have been incorporated in the proposed amendments to the Eastern Dublin Specific Plan and the City General Plan-Traffic and Circulation Element. General Plan/Specific Plan Consistency: The proposed amendments will correct minor discrepancies between the Specific Plan wording and the City General Plan and will correct minor discrepancies between figures and text within the Specific Plan document. Development Standards: Development applicants have expressed concern regarding the potential for project delays associated with these proposed Specific Plan and General Plan amendments. According to the City Attorney, the proposed amendments do not impact current development applications. Applicants for development can now build under the existing City General Plan and Eastern Dublin Specific Plan. Conclusion: Staff recommends that the Planning Commission adopt the attached Resolution (Exhibit B) recommending to the City Council adoption of Amendments to the Eastern Dublin Specific Plan and to the City of Dublin Traffic and Circulation Element of the General Plan. Recommended Action: 1) Open public hearing and hear staff presentation 2) Take testimony from the public 3) Question staff and the public 4) Close public hearing and deliberate 5) Adopt resolution recommending to the City Council adoption of the negative declaration, mitigation monitoring program,the Eastern Dublin Specific Plan Amendment,and the General Plan Amendment. GENERAL INFORMATION: LOCATION: Dublin ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW: A Negative Declaration was prepared for this project. Prior to adoption of the Eastern Dublin Specific Plan (EDSP) and the City of Dublin General Plan Amendment, the City Council certified the Eastern Dublin General Plan Amendment/Specific Plan Amendment Final Environmental Impact Report. That document was a"Program Environmental Impact Report"which allows it to serve as the 3 3 �� basis for future environmental analyses of the Plan's implementation. The City has prepared an Initial Study and Negative Declaration for the proposed Specific Plan and General Plan amendments. The findings of the Initial Study, as outlined in the Negative Declaration, are that the proposed amendments will not have a significant effect on the environment that has not been previously addressed and mitigated via the EDSP Final Environmental Impact Report and the Dublin General Plan Environmental Impact Report. The EDSP Master Matrix(Appendix to the Negative Declaration)serves as the Mitigation Monitoring Program for this project. The Initial Study is included as Attachment 1. The draft Negative Declaration was circulated for a 30-day public review and comment period on April 27, 1997. As of the preparation of this Staff report, no written comments on the draft Negative Declaration have been received. The public review and comment period closes on May 27, 1997. Any comments received after preparation of this Staff report will be distributed by Staff to the Planning Commission at their meeting of May 27, 1997.

LAND USE AND CIRCULATION : CIRCULATION & SCENIC HIGHWAYS ELEMENT 5.1 TRAFFICWAYS Government Code sec. 65302(b) requires that circulation elements include diagrams, policies and programs for existing and proposed major thoroughfares, transportation routes, terminals and other public utilities and facilities. The statute further requires that these circulation and public services features be correlated with the land use element. That is, the General Plan must propose circulation and public services adequate to meek the needs of the population planned for in the land use element. Dublin's proposed road system for the Primary Planning Area is shown on Figure 1-1, the General Plan map for Land Use and Circulation. Proposed traffic transportation and roadway policies are presented below in this element. Information supporting the policies is located in the Technical Supplement, sec. 2.4, Circulation and Scenic Highways Element. The policies and standards in this element also pertain to the extended planning areas. In addition, the general plan amendment Western Extended Planning Areas should also be cony are expected to be completed in 1992. Proposed public utilities and facilities are addressed in sec. 3.0, the Parks and Open Space Element, and in sec. 4.0, the Schools, Public Lands, and Utilities Element. Information supporting these policies is located in the Technical Supplement, sec. 2.2, Open Space Element and sec. 2.3, Schools, Public Lands and Utilities Element. The City of Dublin Circulation Plan was designed to comply with applicable regional transportation policies. The Tri-Valley Transportation Council's Tri-Valley Transportation Plan/Action Plan for Routes of Regional Significance prescribes the long-range transportation vision for the Tri-Valley area, and identifies specific transportation performance criteria for the member agencies (Alameda County, Contra Costa County, Danville, Dublin, Livermore, Pleasanton and San Ramon). The City of Dublin should use the Action Plan as a guideline in the development of its transportation system. This Circulation Element also identifies policies and criteria for streets not included in the Action Plan. 5.1 ROADWAYS The street network described in th s Cirri slat„n Element roadway system was designed to accommodate--peak peciad traffic demand and minimize excessive delays and congested conditions during peak hours. The street design standards specify the widths and other design features necessary to ensure there is sufficient roadway capacity to accommodate future travel on Dublin streets. The most prominent features of Dublin's transportation network are Interstate 580 (which forms the southern boundary of the City) and Interstate 680 (which bisects Central Dublin). The it.terchange between these two freeways is currently being upgraded to improve the vehicle carrying capacity. Additionally, new freeway hook ramps are to be constructed on 1-680 to improve access to the downtown area and the west Dublin BART station. DUBLIN GENERAL PLAN AMENDMENT Vehicular traffic volumes on most arterial streets in Dublin are expected to increase steadily over the life of this General Plan. Projected vehicular traffic growth is attributed primarily to extensive development activity expected in west and east Dublin and in the surrounding Tri-Valley area. 5.1.1 Roadway Standards Guiding Policy A. Design non-residential streets to U accommodate forecasted average daily traffic demand go segments between intersections and(2)minimize congested conditions during peak hours of operation gt intersections and serve a balance of vehicles,bicycles.pedestrians and transit. B. Design residential collector streets.residential streets and cul-de-sacs to serve a balance of vehicular bicycle and pedestrian traffic and to prevent misuse of residential areas by through vehicular traffic. Implementing Policy BC. Design streets according to the standards set forth in paragraphs 1 through 7 below,as well as the listed Additional Design Criteria. If average daily traffic(ADT)is greater than the stated approximate maximum ADT,design the street to a higher functional classification,per approval of the City Engineer. Exceptions to these standards may be granted by the Public Works Director/City Engineer if a finding(s)sae be is made that the exception is consistent with all applicable circulation policies and does not compromise public safety or access. In addition.the required cross-section could be reduced(as approved by the Public Works Director/City Engineer)where existing adjacent development makes the full cross-section unfeasible. 1.

An additional 10 feet of paved width and right-of-way shall be provided for bus turnouts as determined by the Public Works Director/City Engineer. If on-street parking is to be permitted on roadways that are part of the bicycle circulation system, an additional 10 feet of paved width and right-of-way shall be provided. The prime arterial streets are designed to distribute localized trips. Intersections with median openings shall be spaced no closer than 66.0750 feet. In special circumstances, such as tee intersections, intersection spacing less than 750 feet may be allowed with the approval of the Public Works Director/City Engineer. Any other intersections without median openings may be approved by the Public Works Director/City Engineer. A raised median is required to separate the two directions of travel and to improve the visual appearance of the travel corridor. Approaches to arterial intersections with Class I collectors as well as other arterials shall be widened as required by the Public Works Director/City Engineer in order to provide fef additional lanes for left-turn and to; right-turn movements. Access to and from six- lane prime arterial streets from abutting commercial properties shall be controlled but not restricted. No direct vehicular or non-vehicular access from abutting residential homes is allowed. Parking on these streets shall be prohibited with the exception of emergency parking. Bike lanes shall be provided. Pedestrian crossings should be carefully selected to direct pedestrians to designated crossing points at signalized intersections. A major portion of the roadway capacity of the arterials in East Dublin is required to serve future Contra Costa County residents. Although sufficient right-of-way should be preserved, construction of the full roadway width for these facilities should be completed only after the City has secured a fair-share financial agreement with the appropriate agency.

This Guiding Policy €D. Reserve right-of-way and construct improvements necessary to allow arterial and collector streets to accommodate projected vehicular traffic with the least friction. The Daily Projected Traffic Volumes maps(Figures 5-1 a and 5-1 b)show existing and projected flows and lane requirements. The General Plan does not include more detailed street improvement proposals. E For Streets defined as Routes of Regional Significance in the Tri-Valley Transportation Councils Tri- Valley Transportation Plan/Action Plan for Routes of Regional Significance(hereinafter referred to as"the TVTC Action Plan".the City of Dublin is required to make a"good-faith effort"to maintain Level of Service (LOS)D(V/C<0.91)on arterial segments and at intersections. If this Transportation Service Objective(TSO) is violated,the City can implement transportation improvements or other measures to improve level of service. If such improvements are not possible or are not sufficient,the City may refer theproblem to the TVTC for joint resolution. In the event that the TVTC cannot resolve the violation to the mutual satisfaction of all members.Dublin may modify the level of service standard.but only if other jurisdictions are not physically impacted. 5-DRAFT CIRCULATION ELEMENT UPDATE Page 9 5/21/97 The Routes of Regional Significance within the City of Dublin are as follows:Dublin Boulevard Dougherty Road.Tassajara Road.and San Ramon Road. 6F For streets that are not defined as Routes of Regional Significance in the TVTC Action Plan.Skive strive to phase development and road improvements so that the operating Level of Service(LOS)for intersections in Dublin shall not be worse than LOS D.

The roadway system has been designed to accommodate traffic at buildout of the area according to the land use distribution and densities shown in the General Plan Land Use Mao(Figure 2B). The system is structured around the existing- north-south roads and freeway interchanges(Hacienda Drive.Tassajara Road and Fallon Road)and the extension of existing east-west roadways such as Dublin Boulevard and Gleason Drive. The roadway system also incorporates an east-west"transit spine"(Central Parkway)that extends the length of the planning area and connects the most intensively developed areas with the future Eastern Dublin BART station. Guiding Policy L. Provide an integrated multi-modal circulation system that provides efficient vehicular circulation while encouraging pedestrian,bicycle.transit,and other non-automobile transportation alternatives. Implementing Policy M Provide continuity with existing streets.include sufficient capacity for projected traffic,and allow convenient access to planned land uses. N. Require the following major circulation improvements in the Eastern Extended Planning Area: • Extension of Dublin Boulevard from Dougherty Road to North Canyons Parkway. • Extension of Fallon Road north to connect to Tassajara Road. • Extension of Gleason Drive east to Fallon Road. • In cooperation with Caltrans and other affected jurisdictions.pursue widening of Interstate 580 to ten total lanes(8 through lanes and two auxiliary lanes)between Tassajara Road and Airway Boulevard. • Upgrade the Fallon Road interchange to the same standards as the Dougherty Road and Hacienda Drive interchanges(i.e..three through lanes in each direction across the overpass and a partial cloverleaf ramp system). • Provide local collector streets for internal access to development areas throughout the planning area. O. Provide potential for additional future roadway connections linking existing Dublin to the Eastern Extended Planning Area. 5-DRAFT CIRCULATION ELEMENT UPDATE Page 11 5/21/27 Western Extended Planning Area -Additional Policies Q.

Implementing Policies S Require the following major circulation improvements in the Western Extending Planning Area: • Extension of Dublin Boulevard to Schaefer Ranch Road. • Collector streets to provide access to residential neighborhoods and non-residential uses, as identified in specific development plans. 5.1.2 Freeway Access The 1-680 freeway was recently widened to eight lanes north of I-580: the 1-580/1-680 interchange will be rebuilt as both freeways and the arterial street system experience heavy new demands from development in adjoining communities. A new interchange is needed on 1-680 north of 1-580. Guiding Policy J. Improve freeway access. Implementing Policies K. Provide an additional interchange on 1-680 north of 1-580 to provide better access to the downtown area. L. Improve 1-580 interchanges to serve planned growth. Access to downtown from the north and south along Interstate 680 is needed at a point closer than Alcosta Boulevard. Additional capacity at existing interchanges on 1-580 is needed to serve East Dublin travel demands. 5.2 TRANSIT Figures 5-2a and 5-2b illustrate existing and future transit routes.

The current e}est-recent CIP(1991 92)lists 17 lists approved street improvement projects along with estimated costs and financing schedules. The moneys to fund these projects come from several sources including the City's operating budget,state/federal funds, development fees,grants and loans. (A copy of the current Dublin 1991 92 CIP program is available from the City Manager's Office.) Currently,development plans are being formulated for the eastern and western .portions of the City. Construction of necessary roads will be funded by the developers. Developer for Traffic Impact Fee(TIF)requirements will also be assessed to fund city roadway projects that will be impacted by traffic from developments in the extended planning areas as well as in the Downtown.

The analysis is intended to satisfy the requirements of the California Environmental Quality Act(CEQA),and provide the City with adequate information for project review. The Eastern Dublin Specific Plan and General Plan Amendment Final Environmental Impact Report(FEIR) was adopted by the City Council on May 10,1993[consisting of the Draft Environmental Impact Report (DEIR),dated August 28,1992;Responses to Comments Part I dated December 7,1992;Responses to Comments Part II dated December 21,1992;Revisions to Part I of the Responses to Comments relating to the Kit Fox;and Addendum to the DEIR dated May 4,1993;and a DKS Associates Traffic Study dated December 15,1992(SCH91103064)].An Addendum to the FEIR was approved by the City Council on August 22,1994. It is also available for review of the Planning Department. The Eastern Dublin General Plan Amendment and Specific Plan FEIR concluded certain significant impacts will result from the development of Eastern Dublin. Most of those impacts will be reduced to insignificance by mitigation measures of the FEIR. Some of the impacts from development of the adopted Specific Plan will remain unavoidable significant adverse impacts,but they were included in a Statement of Overriding Considerations passed by the Dublin City Council when it adopted the Eastern Dublin Specific Plan. The FEIR that was prepared for the Eastern Dublin General Plan Amendment and Specific Plan was a • "Program"environmental impact report(Program EIR). If a Program EIR is used, subsequent environmental documents need to be prepared for projects within the program only if there are additional environmental impacts not considered in the preparation of the original environmental document or additional mitigation measures are required(CEQA Guidelines Section 15168). The proposed amendments to the Eastern Dublin Specific Plan(EDSP)will not create any significant impacts which were not already covered by the FEIR or reduced to insignificance by mitigation measures of the FEIR and Mitigation Monitoring Program,and conditions of approval of the project. The Project is within the scope of this Program EIR,and the FEIR adequately describe the impacts of the project,and there have been no changes or new information which would necessitate supplementing this Program EIR pursuant to Public Resources Code section 21166 and CEQA guidelines Section 15162. The proposed amendments to the Dublin General Plan will not result in any negative environmental impacts, and a Negative Declaration is proposed. The Dublin General Plan was adopted in February of 1985 and revised in September of 1992. Volume 2 of the General Plan includes an Environmental Impact Report (EIR)and Technical Supplement addressing various impacts anticipated from adoption of the General Plan. This EIR(SCH#84011002)was certified by the Dublin City Council on February 11,1985.The EDSP Final Environmental Impact Report(FEIR)and the Dublin General Plan Environmental Impact Report are available for review at the City of Dublin Planning Department,100 Civic Plaza,Dublin,CA. ( r ATTACHMENT I. This Initial Study includes a Project Description,Environmental Checklist Form,an Evaluation and Discussion of issues identified in the checklist,and a Determination. Attached to the Initial Study is a Matrix which has incorporated the adopted Mitigation Measures and Action Programs of the Eastern Dublin General Plan Amendment and Specific Plan EIR which apply to development of the EDSP. The Matrix has been designed for use in evaluating specific project proposals in Eastern Dublin for compliance with the Eastern Dublin Final Environmental Impact Report and Mitigation Monitoring Program. The Mitigation Measures of the Eastern Dublin General Plan Amendment and Specific Plan Final Environmental Impact Report(the FEIR)and'the two approved addenda thereto are referenced throughout this Initial Study. Please refer to the Matrix to review the Mitigation Measures and/or Action Programs,or refer to the FEIR itself for related mitigation descriptions. PROJECT DESCRIPTION The City of Dublin is proposing an amendment to the Eastern Dublin Specific Plan(EDSP,or Specific Plan) and to the Dublin General Plan to reflect proposed modifications to the circulation element. As noted above, the EDSP was adopted in 1994 and has a certified Program EIR. Since its adoption,in the processing of various land use applications in the Specific Plan area,it has become clear that several sections of the Specific Plan regarding public rights-of-way require clarification and modifications to terminology. The primary purpose of the proposed amendments is to update the Specific Plan to accurately reflect details of the planned Eastern Dublin circulation system as anticipated by the Tri-Valley Traffic Model(TVTM). The TVTM is a system which uses the most current information on land use and circulation networks to predict future traffic volumes and patterns. The TVTM has been adopted by the City of Dublin,Tri-Valley Transportation Council,and surrounding communities.This project's proposed amendments to the lane requirements of the Specific Plan and General Plan diagrams are a result of using this more accurate modeling tool. The proposed changes will involve modifications to sections of the Specific Plan and General Plan Circulation Elements regarding public rights-of-way for consistency and clarification in terminology. For example,Figure 5-1 of the General Plan requires updating to reflect accurate lane requirements for several roadways,including additional lanes along Tassajara Road. Also,roadway descriptions will be clarified to consolidate the various categories of the General Plan and Specific Plan roadway systems. Some policies of the General Plan have been updated to reflect the current conditions. Limited related minor revisions to the text or figures in other chapters of the Specific Plan and General Plan may be required for consistency only. The substance of the proposed revisions involve only the circulation element,and does not change any land use designations. The proposed Specific Plan and General Plan traffic volume diagrams,tables containing supplemental data, and proposed text changes are available for review by contacting the City of Dublin Public Works Department at(510)833-6630,or the Planning Department at(510)833-6610. r �! / Eiv VIRONMENTAL CHECKLIST FORM This study was prepared based upon the location of the project,staff office review,field review,comments submitted by local agencies;the CEQA Law and Guidelines,City of Dublin CEQA Guidelines,and use of City Planning documents including the previously certified Eastern Dublin General Plan Amendment and Specific Plan Final Environmental Impact Report(FEIR),and the Dublin General Plan EIR(General Plan EIR). These EIRs concluded certain significant impacts will result from the development of the Eastern Dublin Specific Plan and the Dublin General Plan. Most of those impacts will be reduced to insignificance by mitigation measures of the EIRs. Some will remain unavoidable significant adverse impacts but they were included in Statements of Overriding Considerations passed by the Dublin City Council when it approved the planning documents. The Project will not create any significant impacts not already covered by these EIRs. Impacts of the project are described below. 1.

EVALUATION OF ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACTS 1) A brief explanation is required for all answers except"No Impact"answers that are adequately supported by the information sources a lead agency cites in the parentheses following each question. A"No Impact"answer is adequately supported if the referenced information sources show that the impact simply does not apply to projects like the one involved(e.g.,the project falls outside a fault rupture zone). A"No Impact"answer should be explained where it is based on project-specific factors as well as general standards(e.g.,the project will not expose sensitive receptors to pollutants,based on a project-specific screening analysis). 2) All answers must take account of the whole action involved,including off-site as well as on-site,cumulative as well as project-level,indirect as well as direct,and construction as well as operational impacts. 3) "Potentially Significant Impact"is appropriate if there is substantial evidence that an effect is significant. If there are one or more"Potentially Significant Impact"entries when the determination is made,an EIR is required. 4) "Negative Declaration: Potentially Significant Unless Mitigation Incorporated" applies where the incorporation of mitigation measures has reduced an effect from"Potentially Significant Impact"to a"Less Significant Impact." The lead agency must describe the mitigation measures,and briefly explain how they reduce the effect to a less than significant level(mitigation measures from Section XVII,"Earlier Analyses,"may be cross-referenced). 5) Earlier analyses may be used where,pursuant to the tiering,program EIR,or other CEQA process,an effect has been adequately analyzed in an earlier EIR or negative declaration. Section 15063(c)(3)(D).). In this case a discussion should identify the following on attached sheets: a) Earlier analyses used. Identify earlier analyses and state where they are available for review. b) Impacts adequately addressed. Identify which effects from the above checklist were within the scope of and adequately analyzed in an earlier document pursuant to applicable legal standards,and state whether such effects were addressed by mitigation measures based on the earlier analysis. c) Mitigation measures. For effects that are"Less than Significant with Mitigation Incorporated,"describe the mitigation measures which are incorporated or refined from the earlier document and the extent to which they address site-specific conditions for the project. 6) Lead agencies are encouraged to incorporate into the checklist references to information sources for potential impacts(e.g., general plans,zoning ordinances). Reference to a previously prepared or outside document should,where appropriate, include a reference to the page or pages where the statement is substantiated. See the sample question below. A source list should be attached,and other sources used or individuals contacted should be cited in the discussion. 7) This is only a suggested form,and lead agencies are free to use different ones. 10 ENVIRONMENTAL CHECKLIST RESPONSES&ANALYSIS The following discussion includes explanations of answers to the above questions regarding potential environmental impacts,as indicated on the preceding checklist. Each subsection is annotated with the number and letter corresponding to the checklist form. A majority of the potential impacts discussed within this initial study were addressed in the earlier analysis of the Eastern Dublin General Plan Amendment/Specific Plan Amendment Final EIR(FEIR),incorporated by reference,and the mitigation measures adopted. Mitigation measures are noted,and the matrix of mitigation measures is included as Attachment A. The FEIR was a program EIR and it adequately describes the impacts of the project. Also,the Dublin General Plan was adopted after certification of an EIR in February of 1985,which discussed the environmental impacts from the land use designations and implementation of the General Plan. The text amendments to the General Plan and EDSP proposed for this Project involve no changes or new information requiring a supplemental EIR,pursuant to Public Resources Code Section 21166 and CEQA Guidelines Section 15162. EXISTING SETTING: The project is located in the City of Dublin,and portions of the project affect the Eastern Dublin Specific Plan(EDSP). The EDSP setting is included in the FEIR prepared for the Specific Plan area,and the City setting is included in the EIR for the General Plan. Please refer to the Eastern Dublin GPAJSPA FEIR for a description of the existing project setting;and refer to the Project Location section of the Introduction to this Initial Study for a description of the project location. POTENTIAL IMPACTS AND MITIGATION MEASURES: • I. LAND USE&PLANNING: The project is consistent with the General Plan land use designations and with the Eastern Dublin Specific Plan.The proposed amendments to the circulation element relates to roadways needed for development within the Specific Plan areas to address lane requirements anticipated traffic by the Tri-Valley Traffic Model,and to address the City's requirements for ensuring adequate circulation facilities in the Specific Plan area. The proposed amendments do not change any land uses in the area affected by the proposed project. Also,the revised lane requirements will not cause any growth inducing impacts because they are needed to serve the traffic already anticipated under the approved General Plan and Specific Plan land use designations. Further,the impacts of development in the project were addressed in the earlier analysis of the Eastern Dublin Specific Plan/General Plan Amendment Final Environmental Impact Report(FEIR) and the Dublin General Plan EIR. The proposed amendment will not raise significant new impacts beyond those discussed in the EIRs. II. POPULATION&HOUSING: No significant impacts are expected to occur for the proposed amendments to the Specific Plan and General Plan Circulation Element,because the type and intensity of land uses in the General Plan and Specific Plan area are not proposed to be changed. The proposed amendment to the General Plan Figure 5.1 diagram involving lane requirements will not adversely affect the circulation system,nor result in growth inducing impacts,because the proposed changes will increase the width and number of lanes on certain roadways,and provide the capacity 11 needed for existing approved projects and to meet the traffic demand predicted by the TVTM under existing approved land use plans. The project does not involve any changes in land uses nor increase the allowable intensity of land uses. Also,the adoption of the Eastern Dublin Specific Plan signified the City's intent to introduce growth in an area that previously supported minimal development. Growth inducing impacts associated with development from the adopted Specific Plan were analyzed in the FEIR. Please refer to the earlier analysis of the FEIR,pp.3.2-1 through 3.2-11,for a discussion of population and housing.The proposed amendment will not raise new significant impacts,nor any significant impacts not previously discussed in the EIRs. III. GEOLOGIC PROBLEMS: These items were addressed in the earlier analysis of the General Plan EIR,the FEIR,and through various mitigation measures.The proposed amendments do not cause any new significant impacts beyond those analyzed due to development approved under the Specific Plan, nor any significant impacts which were not addressed in the EIRs. For an explanation of these items, see FEIR mitigation measures MM 3.6/2.0 to 3.6/28.0,or the Mitigation Monitoring Matrix. IV. WATER: These items were addressed in the earlier analysis of the General Plan EIR,the FEIR,and through various mitigation measures.The proposed amendments do not cause any new significant impacts,nor any significant impacts which were not addressed due to development in the Specific Plan in the FEIR. For an explanation of these items,see FEIR mitigation measures MM 3.5/25.0 through 3.5/52.0,or the Mitigation Monitoring Matrix. V. AIR QUALITY: Air Quality impacts were discussed in the earlier analysis of the FEIR,and the mobile source emissions impacts resulting from development of the EDSP were determined to be a significant impact,even with application of mitigation measures. These impacts were included in the Statement of Overriding Considerations adopted for the EDSP. However,the proposed amendments to the circulation element relate to changes in the lane requirements for roadways needed for development within the Specific Plan to ensure adequate circulation facilities in the Specific Plan area. The proposed amendments do not change any land uses nor allow increased intensity of land use in the area affected by the proposed project. The wider roadways and additional lanes which will be planned for some roadways are needed for the traffic projected under currently approved land uses, and are not intended to provide excess capacity. In fact,the lanes on some roads are needed to improve levels of service and minimize potential congestion,thereby reducing the possibility of gridlock traffic occurring and the associated congestion and air quality impacts. The revised lane requirements will not cause any growth inducing impacts because they are needed to serve the traffic already anticipated under the approved General Plan and Specific Plan land use designations. For further discussion of the impacts from development in the Specific Plan area,see the Eastern Dublin Specific Plan/General Plan Amendment Final Environmental Impact Report(FEIR)or Mitigation Monitoring Matrix.The proposed amendment will not result in any new significant impacts,nor any significant impacts not previously discussed in the EIRs. VI. TRANSPORTATION/CIRCULATION: The impacts to transportation and circulation from development of the Specific Plan were addressed in the earlier analysis of the FEIR,and through various mitigation measures. The Eastern Dublin GPA/SPA Final EIR indicates that some impacts(both project-specific and cumulative)remain potentially significant even after implementation of proposed mitigation measures. Two of them affect intersections and the other two the general operation of I-580. Cumulative impacts affecting I-580 would occur irrespective of development under the Eastern Dublin Specific Plan. These four impacts are not capable of being mitigated to a level of insignificance,and have been included in the Statement of Overriding Considerations adopted with the Specific Plan. 12 The proposed amendments to the Specific Plan and General Plan will affect the improvements to roadway systems by new development as required by the FEIR and conditions of individual project approvals(e.g.:roadway widths). Because these measures will be completed concurrent with individual development projects in the Specific Plan area,the potential impacts upon the circulation system from new development will be mitigated to a level of insignificance(except those identified in the Statement of Overriding Considerations),in part due to the revised roadway requirements contained in the current proposal. The Dublin General Plan EIR identified increased traffic as a significant impact based upon the General Plan's approved land uses. The revised lane requirements will provide the capacity needed for the land use intensity anticipated under existing General Plan designations. The proposal would not result in growth inducing impacts because the project does not involve any changes in land uses or increase the allowable intensity of land uses. Mitigation measures of the EIR and Action Programs of the Specific Plan which will be applied to individual development projects include: MM3.3/2.1 through 3.3/16.1 and 3.12/7.0 and Action Programs 5A through 5D. Refer to the Eastern Dublin GPA/SPA Final EIR or the Mitigation Monitoring Matrix for a complete listing. Aside from the traffic related impacts noted in the FEIR and Dublin General Plan EIR,the Project will not result in any new significant traffic impacts,nor any significant impacts which have not already been evaluated in the previous environmental analyses. In fact,the lanes on some roads are needed to improve levels of service and minimize potential congestion from the traffic anticipated by the more accurate predictions of the Tri-Valley Traffic Model. VII. BIOLOGICAL RESOURCES: These items were discussed in the earlier analysis of the development anticipated in the FEIR and Dublin General Plan EIR,and addressed through various mitigation measures. The proposed amendments to the EDSP and General Plan Circulation Elements will not result in new significant impacts,nor any significant impacts not previously discussed in the EIRs, because the revised lane requirements do not result in any new roadways in any areas not previously depicted as development areas. VIII. ENERGY&MINERAL RESOURCES: These items were discussed in the earlier analysis of the development anticipated in the FEIR and Dublin General Plan EIR,and addressed through various mitigation measures. The FEIR indicates that development of the Eastern Dublin Specific Plan area will result in significant consumption of non-renewable energy resources even with suggested mitigation measures. Therefore,this topic area was included in the Statement of Overriding Considerations. The proposed amendments to the EDSP and General Plan Circulation Elements will not result in new significant impacts,nor any significant impacts not previously discussed in the EIRs. For further descriptions of mitigation measures,see the Mitigation Monitoring Matrix. IX. HAZARDS: These items were addressed in the earlier analysis of the FEIR and Dublin General Plan EIR,and through various mitigation measures. The Project will not raise any new significant hazards impacts,nor any significant hazards impacts which were not addressed in the EIRs. Mitigation measures of the FEIR and Action Programs of the Specific plan and corresponding conditions of approval that relate to this subject area are as follows: 3.4/3.0,3.4/5.0 through 3.4/9.0,3.5/1.0, 3.5/3.0,3.10/1.0 through 3.10/5.0,3.10/7.0,3.11/3.0,3.11/7.0;8E,9P and 9Q. 13 ':";C t_ ..._- X. NOISE: The noise impacts of development in the Eastern Dublin Specific Plan area were addressed in the earlier analysis of the FEIR,and through various mitigation measures.The FEIR determined noise generated by the buildout of the Eastern Dublin area would cause an adverse impact on existing residences which could not be reduced to a level of insignificance and,hence,this was part of the Statement of Overriding Considerations. Several mitigation measures of the EDSP FEIR that will apply to development projects to help mitigate noise impacts include: MM3.10/1.0 through 3.10/5.0. The Dublin General Plan anticipated noise levels along Dublin Boulevard due to increased traffic to exceed the 70 dB noise level. This impact is not considered a significant impact based upon the General Plan's conditionally acceptable Community Noise Environments for Offices/Retail/Commercial uses of 70-75 dB(Dublin General Plan,Table 9.1). The potential increase in noise levels due to changes in lane requirements for traffic predicted under currently approved land uses is not expected to create a new significant impact in relation to the traffic noise already anticipated by the General Plan for this roadway. In summary,the proposed amendments to the circulation elements will not result in any significant noise impacts,nor additional significant noise impacts not previously anticipated by the FEIR or by the City of Dublin General Plan and EIR. XI. PUBLIC SERVICES: The impacts from development in the Eastern Dublin Specific Plan area upon public services were addressed in the earlier analysis of the FEIR,and through various mitigation measures. Mitigation measures of the FEIR require certain studies to be performed to determine specific service and improvement needs for individual development projects,based upon the land use designations approved with the EDSP. The studies are required to be completed prior to any development occurring in the Eastern Dublin Specific Plan,pursuant to the Specific Plan. The proposed amendments to lane requirements is an example of a refinement to the estimate of public service improvements due to a more accurate modeling tool. Please refer to the FEIR or the Mitigation Monitoring Matrix for measures that relate to public services. The proposed project will not result in any significant impacts;nor additional significant impacts not covered by the EIRs. XII. UTILITIES: The impacts of development in the Eastern Dublin Specific Plan area upon utilities were addressed in the earlier analysis of the FEIR,and through various mitigation measures.The extension of water,electrical and natural gas lines into the Eastern Dublin Specific Plan area has been determined by the FEIR to be a significant growth-inducing impact and,therefore,was included within the Statement of Overriding Considerations as an unavoidable adverse effect of the project. However,the proposed amendments will not result in any additional significant impacts not covered by the FEIR,nor any new significant impacts,because they do not propose any changes to or increased intensity of land use or additional physical development projects(other than some major roadways being wider than previously planned)which were not already anticipated in the EIRs. XIII. AESTHETICS: The aesthetics impacts from development in the Eastern Dublin Specific Plan area were addressed in the earlier analysis of the FEIR,and through various mitigation measures. The proposed project will not result in any new significant impacts,nor additional significant impacts not covered by the FEIR. The changes to the Dublin General Plan will not result in any new significant impacts,nor additional significant impacts not covered by the EIRs because the area has already been developed and major roadways have been designated in the Dublin General Plan. XIV. CULTURAL RESOURCES:The impacts of development in the Eastern Dublin Specific Plan area upon cultural resources were addressed in the earlier analysis of the FEIR,and through various mitigation 14 measures. The proposed project will not result in any new significant impacts,nor additional significant impacts not covered by the EIRs,because the revised lane requirements do not result in new roadways in any areas not previously designated for development. XV. RECREATION:The impacts of development in the Eastern Dublin Specific Plan area upon recreation resources were addressed in the earlier analysis of the FEIR,and through various mitigation measures. The proposed project will not result in any new significant impacts,nor additional significant impacts not covered by the EIRs,because the amendments do not result in changes to any land uses,nor affect existing recreational opportunities,nor increase the demand for neighborhood or regional parks or other recreational facilities. • 15 r-;',...7 r'' DETERMINATION On the basis of this initial evaluation: ❑ I find that the proposed project COULD NOT have a significant effect on the environment,and a NEGATIVE DECLARATION will be prepared. ❑ I find that although the proposed project could have a significant effect on the environment,there will not be a significant effect in this case because the mitigation measures described on an attached sheet have been added to the project.

Re: Proposed Amendments to the City of Dublin General Plan and Proposed Amendments to the Eastern Dublin Specific Plan The City of Dublin is proposing to amend the roadway network lane requirements based on the Tri-Valley Traffic Model, to correct minor discrepancies between the Specific Plan wording and the City General Plan and to correct minor discrepancies between figures and text within the Specific Plan document. The Tri- Valley Traffic Model uses the most current information on land use and circulation networks available. The City of Dublin, Tri-Valley Transportation Council and surrounding communities have adopted the Tri- Valley Traffic Model to predict future traffic volumes and patterns. Changes in the required number of lanes is the result of using this more accurate modeling tool. The City is not proposing to change any land uses. Pursuant to Government Code 65352, the purpose of this letter is to notify you of changes made to the documents and give you the chance to review and comment on these proposed changes. These documents ace-available for review in the Public Works Department at the City of Dublin, 100 Civic Plaza, Dublin, CA 94568. The City plans to present these proposed amendments to the Planning Commission on May 27, 1997. Presentation to the City Council is slated to occur during the meeting of June 17, 1997. If you would like to arrange a time to review your comments regarding the proposed changes, or meet to discuss the amendments, please contact me prior to the above meeting dates, at (510) 833-6630.

Discussion:This section makes clear that a public review period is required with a Negative Declaration. The section also brings together in one easily recognizable place the requirements concerning submitting Negative Declarations to the State Clearinghouse for review. Section 21091 of the Public Resources Code now requires that the public review period for a Negative Declaration shall not be less than 20 days.The review period for Negative Declaration which has been submitted to the State Clearinghouse is 30 days,but the Clearinghouse may authorize a shorter state review period upon formal request by the decision-making body,if consistent with criteria adopted by the Clear- inghouse.However,the revised review period so authorized shall not be less than 20 days. 15074.(a)Any advisory body of a public agency making a recommendation to the decision-making body Consideration shall consider the proposed Negative Declaration before making its recommendation. and Approval (b)Prior to approving the project,the decision-making body of the Lead Agency shall consider the pro- of Negative posed Negative Declaration together with any comments received during the public review process.The Declarations decision-making body shall approve the Negative Declaration if it finds on the basis of the Initial Study and any comments received that there is no substantial evidence that the project will have a significant effect on the environment. Note:Authority cited:Sections 21083 and 21087,Public Resources Code;Reference:Section 21080(c), Public Resources Code;Friends of B Street v.City of Hayward(1980)106 Cal.App.3d 988. Discussion:The purpose of this section is to make it clear that the decision-making body of the Lead Agency must consider the Negative Declaration before approving the project.The decision-making body is required to decide whether to approve the Negative Declaration on the basis of the Initial Study and any public comment received.This approach serves the public participation policies in CEQA by requiring the Lead Agency to consider the public comments on a proposed Negative Declaration before approving the Negative Declaration. Section 21081.6 of the Public Resources Code provides that when a public agency adopts a Negative Declaration which includes provisions to mitigate potentially significant effects or which was issued on the basis of project revisions aimed at mitigating potential environmental effects,the agency shall also adopt a program of monitoring or reporting to ensure that the provisions or revisions are complied with during implementation of the project. Subdivisions(f)and(g)of Public Resources Code section 21080 enable the Lead Agency to delete mitigation measures which it concludes are infeasible or otherwise undesirable and substitute equivalent or more effective measures(Chapter 1230,Statutes of 1994).The proposed substitution must be considered at a public hearing.No recirculation of the Negative Declaration is required when the new mitigation mea- sures are made conditions of or otherwise integrated into project approval.

The City is proposing an amendment to the Eastern Dublin Specific Plan and to the Dublin General Plan to reflect proposed modifications to the circulation element. The Eastern Dublin Specific Plan was adopted in 1994 and has a certified Program EIR(SCH No.91- 103064). Subsequently,in the processing of various land use applications in the Specific Plan area,it has become clear that several sections of the Specific Plan regarding public rights-of-way require clarification and modifications. Various parts of the Specific Plan and General Plan text will need minor revisions for consistency of terminology. The amendments will reflect the study enhancements of the updated Tri-Valley Traffic Model. The proposed revisions affect only the circulation element,and do not change any land use designations. The primary purpose of the proposed amendments is to update the Specific Plan to accurately reflect details of the planned Eastern Dublin circulation system as demonstrated by the Tri-Valley Traffic Model.

The primary purpose of the proposed amendments is to update the Specific Plan to accurately reflect details of the planned Eastern Dublin circulation system as demonstrated by the Tri- Valley Traffic Model. The Eastern Dublin Specific Plan was adopted in 1994 and has a certified Program EIR(SCH No.91-103064). Since its adoption,in the processing of various land use applications in the Specific Plan area,it has become clear that several sections of the Specific Plan regarding public rights-of-way require clarification and modifications to terminology. For example,Figure 5-1 of the General Plan requires updating to reflect accurate lane requirements for several roadways. Also,various parts of the Specific Plan and General Plan text will need minor revisions for consistency. The amendments will reflect the study enhancements of the updated Tri-Valley Traffic Model. The proposed revisions affect only the circulation element,and do not change any land use designations. The proposed Specific Plan and General Plan traffic volume diagrams,tables containing supplemental data,and proposed text changes are available for review by contacting the City of Dublin Public Works Department at(510)833-6610,or the Planning Department at(510)833-6610. Project Location:The Eastern Dublin Specific Plan planning area(consisting of approximately3,300 acres)is located on the eastern edge of the City of Dublin,situated near the center of the"Tri-Valle'region(which includes the communities of Dublin,San Ramon, Pleasanton,and Livermore,and portions of both Alameda County and Contra Costa County).The planning area is bound on the south by Interstate 580;by the Alameda/ContraCosta County line to the north;by the eastern border of Camp Parks property on.the west;and by a stepped boundary along the east side of the area,beginning east of Croak Road near 1-580,and stepping westward until it meets the County line at Tassajara Road. The Dublin General Plan includes site-specific policies for the area within the City boundaries and for the developable land immediately adjacent to the west and east("Extended Planning Areas").

The primary purpose of the proposed amendments is to update the Specific Plan to accurately reflect details of the planned Eastern Dublin circulation system as demonstrated by the Tri- Valley Traffic Model. The Eastern Dublin Specific Plan was adopted in 1994 and has a certified Program EIR(SCH No.91-103064). Since its adoption,in the processing of various land use applications in the Specific Plan area,it has become clear that several sections of the Specific Plan regarding public rights-of-way require clarification and modifications to terminology. For example,Figure 5-1 of the General Plan requires updating to reflect accurate lane requirements for several roadways. Also,various parts of the Specific Plan and General Plan text will need minor revisions for consistency. The amendments will reflect the study enhancements of the updated Tri-Valley Traffic Model. The proposed revisions affect only the circulation element,and do not change any land use designations. The proposed Specific Plan and General Plan traffic volume diagrams,tables containing supplemental data,and proposed text changes are available for review by contacting the City of Dublin Public Works Department at(510)833-6610,or the Planning Department at(510)833-6610. Project Location:The Eastern Dublin Specific Plan planning area(consisting of approximately3,300 acres)is located on the eastern edge of the City of Dublin,situated near the center of the"Tri-Valley'region(which includes the communities of Dublin,San Ramon, Pleasanton.and Livermore,and portions of both Alameda County and Contra Costa County).The planning area is bound on the south by Interstate 580;by the Alameda/ContraCosta County line to the north;by the eastern border of Camp Parks property on.the west;and by a stepped boundary along the east side of the area,beginning east of Croak Road near I-580,and stepping westward until it meets the County line at Tassajara Road.The Dublin General Plan includes site-specificpolicies for the area within the City boundaries and for the developable land immediately adjacent to the west and east("Extended Planning Areas").

The analysis is intended to satisfy the requirements of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), and provide the City with adequate information for project review. The Eastern Dublin Specific Plan and General Plan Amendment Final Environmental Impact Report was adopted by the City Council on May 10, 1993 [consisting of the Draft Environmental Impact Report, dated August 28, 1992; Responses to Comments Part I dated December 7, 1992; Responses to Comments Part II dated December 21, 1992; Revisions to Part I of the Responses to Comments relating to the Kit Fox; and Addendum to the DEIR dated May 4, 1993; and a DKS Associates Traffic Study dated December 15, 1992 (SCH91103064)]. The Final Environmental Impact Report (FEIR) is available to the public for review of the City of Dublin Planning Department located at 100 Civic Plaza, Dublin, CA. An Addendum to the Environmental Impact Report was approved by the City Council on August 22, 1994. It is also available for review of the Planning Department. The Eastern Dublin General Plan Amendment and Specific Plan EIR concluded certain significant impacts will result from the development of Eastern Dublin. Most of those impacts will be reduced to insignificance by mitigation measures of the EIR. Some will remain unavoidable significant adverse impacts but they were included in a Statement of Overriding Considerations passed by the Dublin City Council when it certified the EIR. The environmental impact report that was prepared for the Eastern Dublin General Plan Amendment and Specific Plan was a"Program"environmental impact report (Program EIR). If a Program EIR is used, subsequent environmental documents need to be prepared for projects within the program only if there are additional environmental impacts not considered in the preparation of the original environmental document or additional mitigation measures are required (CEQA Guidelines Section 15168). The proposed amendments to the Eastern Dublin Specific Plan will not create any significant impacts which were not already covered by the EIR or reduced to insignificance by mitigation measures of the EIR and Mitigation Monitoring Program, and conditions of approval of the project. The Project is within the scope of the Program EIR, and the program EIR& Addendum adequately describe the impacts of the project, and there have been no changes or new information which would necessitate supplementing the Program EIR pursuant to Public Resources Code section 21166 and CEQA guidelines Section 15162. The proposed amendments to the Dublin General Plan will not result in any negative environmental impacts, and a Negative Declaration is proposed. 1 VII.

PROJECT DESCRIPTION The City of Dublin is proposing an amendment to the Eastern Dublin Specific Plan and to the Dublin General Plan to reflect proposed modifications to the circulation element. The Eastern Dublin Specific Plan was adopted in 1994 and has a certified Program EIR(SCH No. 91- 103064). Since its adoption, in the processing of various land use applications in the Specific Plan area, it has become clear that several sections of the Specific Plan regarding public rights-of-way require clarification and modifications to terminology. The substance of the proposed revisions involve only the circulation element, and do not change any land use designations. The primary purpose of the proposed amendments is to update the Specific Plan to accurately reflect details of the planned Eastern Dublin circulation system as demonstrated by the Tri-Valley Traffic Model. The changes will involve modifications to sections of the Specific Plan Circulation Element regarding public rights-of-way for consistency and clarification in terminology. For example, Figure 5-1 of the General Plan requires updating to reflect accurate lane requirements for several roadways. The substance of the proposed revisions involve only the circulation element, and do not change any land use designations. Related minor revisions to various other chapters of the Specific Plan and General Plan text or figures may be required for consistency only. The proposed Specific Plan and General Plan traffic volume diagrams,tables containing supplemental data, and proposed text changes are available for review by contacting the City of Dublin Public Works Department at (510)833-6610, or the Planning Department at(510)833-6610. Project Location: The Eastern Dublin Specific Plan planning area(consisting of approximately 3,300 acres)is located on the eastern edge of the City of Dublin,situated near the center of the"Tri-Valle}'region (which includes the communities of Dublin,San Ramon,Pleasanton,and Livermore,and portions of both Alameda County and Contra Costa County). The planning area is bound on the south by Interstate 580;by the Alameda/ContraCosta County line to the north;by the eastern border of Camp Parks property on the west;and by a stepped boundary along the east side of the area,beginning east of Croak Road near I-580, and stepping westward until it meets the County line at Tassajara Road. The Dublin General Plan includes site-specific policies for the area within the City boundaries and for the developable land immediately adjacent to the west and east("Extended Planning Areas"). 2 III.

It would be intended to provide for outdoor sales of goods which are normally not available at the proposed site,and in order to provide a public service of convenience. The sale would only be allowed for special promotions and pricing not normally offered for the goods. The sales are not intended to provide a flea-market type sale of used or outdated goods. Standard requirements which specifically apply to outdoor sales by non-Dublin businesses have been prepared to address issues such as signage,layout of sale/event,ancillary activities(such as music or food concessions),and the various permits necessary to operate the activity(seeeattachment 4). Mobile Vendors ( t,i A) O Z The outdoor sales events mentioned above are geared toward addressing temporary parking lot and sidewalk sales which take place for a limited number of days. The City has received several requests to consider allowing outdoor food vendors,such as hot dogs,ice cream,or espresso carts,which would operate in a stationary location on an ongoing basis. These vendors have indicated the desire to locate within existing commercial shopping centers and service stations. Several of the surrounding cities were surveyed,and most have provided a mechanism for these vendors to operate in the city. Staff recommends that mobile vendors be regulated through the Conditional Use Permit process,with approval by the Zoning Administrator. Conditional Use Permits would be issued for up to one year at a time,with subsequent annual reviews and extensions if all conditions continue to be met. This would allow the City to regulate the number of food vendors located within a shopping center,as well as place appropriate conditions upon the use to ensure compatibility with adjacent businesses. Draft Standard Requirements specifically relating to mobile vendors have been developed to address issues such as signage,location of the vending operation,and the various permits necessary to operate the activity(see„attachment's). o-33 Other changes to to Ordinance-Arts&Crafts Fairs,Carnivals,and Farmer's Markets Staff is also recommending that the Zoning Ordinance Amendment include revising the process by which the above Special Events are processed. Currently,these activities would require the issuance of a Conditional Use Permit approved by the Zoning Administrator. The suggested changes would allow processing by Zoning Clearance,which would significantly streamline the process by not requiring a public hearing.. Standard Requirements for Special Events in general,as well as specific requirements applicable to the individual type of activity,would be applied to the Special Event permit request(see eXit. f i) aitaelm?esi-3-). Citywide Events During the assessment of the Zoning Ordinance Provisions for outdoor sales and temporary events,the issue of city-wide events such as the St.Patrick's Day Celebration was discussed. In the past,this type of City-sponsored event has been approved by the City Council on an individual,special request basis. Staff r commends that the current pro ssing for city-s onsored special events remain. ,- Lot c�i.�.V-- aoo�� pc. �n Le c' u.c.l+b ,yi °f0 r`J J ECOMMFNDATIONS• 4'?.I f ' # o-e1.144A-e•-- -, girt.

The Resolution establishing the frequency of outdoor sales events by Dublin businesses allows a maximum of: (a) Once each month during the months of July,August,or September. (b) Once each three months during the rest of the year(October through June). This system allows a maximum of 6 outdoor sales events per year. The proposed revisions to the Outdoor Sales regulations for sales by established businesses mainly involves two aspects. First,the procedure for reviewing the application would be changed from an Administrative Conditional Use Permit to the Zoning Clearance process. This is the same process currently used for seasonal events such as Christmas Tree sales lots,and it requires no public hearing. Second,revisions to the regulations limiting the frequency of events would be made more flexible. Staff recommends that outdoor sales events by established businesses be allowed a maximum of 6 times per year(with no quarterly restrictions)and a maximum of 4 days per event. This would provide businesses with greater flexibility and simplicity in planning the events. Through discussions with Chamber of Commerce representatives,it appears that this would provide an adequate amount of time for individual events,and an adequate number each year. The ications to be Clearance ested are reflected in the Dras to the ft Ordinance ce Amendment(Exhibit A). Staff has preparrocessed ed Standa . 1 Requirements for Temporary Uses,which would include outdoor sales by established businesses. heseI „%i= standard requirements would also apply uniformly to various temporary outdoor events such as farmer's j, " markets,arts and crafts fairs,carnivals,and other festivals,with specific requirements for each individual'- event being addressed at the time of application. The Standard Requirements address issues such as signage,layout of sales/event,ancillary activities(such as music or food concessions),and the various permits necessary to operate the activity(see Outdoor Sales Events/Sidewalk Sales-Not related to established Dublin businesses - ' ' 44-s• There are currently no provisions in the Zoning Ordinance for outdoor sales or sidewalk sales by merchants who do not have an established place of business in Dublin. The City has received requests for vendors to hold sales in parking lots,vacant lots,and on sidewalks,to offer special items such as laser art,brass objects,and Levi's buy-back stands. In order to allow the opportunity for promotions of this type of merchandise,staff suggests defining the use in the Zoning Ordinance as a Conditional Use requiring a Conditional Use Permit(CUP)approved by the Zoning Administrator. The CUP process will require that the businesses and property owners within 300 feet of the site be notified of the request for the outdoor sale,and would have the opportunity to comment at a public hearing before the Zoning Administrator and state any objections to the proposal.The limitations on this type of sale would include a maximum of 2 consecutive days per event,and no business or sponsor may participate in more than 4 events during a one-year period at one site. 2 Potentially Potentially Significant Significant Unless Less than Impact Mitigation Significant VII.BIOLOGICAL RESOURCES.

GENERAL INFORMATION PROJECT: The City of Dublin proposes to amend the Dublin Zoning Ordinance relating to Outdoor Sales and Activities. APPLICANT: City of Dublin LOCATION: City-wide APPLICABLE REGULATIONS• ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW: A Negative Declaration has been prepared pursuant to the California Environmental Quality Act(CEQA),State CEQA Guidelines,and the City of Dublin Environmental Guidelines. The proposed project will not have a significant effect on the environment. NOTIFICATION: Public Notices of the July 3, 1995 Planning Commission Public Hearing,as well as the City Council Hearing to be held July 25, 1995,were published in the local newspaper and posted in public buildings. BACKGROUND- On March 8, 1993,the City Council received a report from the Dublin Business Task Force requesting modification to the current City policies to permit periodic outdoor sales by local businesses. Pursuant to the review of this item,the City Council initiated a Zoning Ordinance Text Amendment to permit and regulate outdoor sales events within the City. In August of 1994,the City Council reviewed a request to consider allowing espresso vending carts in the City. After discussion and input from the Chamber of Commerce,the City Council approved an expansion of the Zoning Ordinance Amendment at its August 22, 1994 meeting to consider allowing this use in the City.The Council indicated the desire to review the outdoor sales regulations of the surrounding cities in order to respond to the changing needs of the community. In the interim period,the City Council adopted Resolution No.32-93 amending the policy on outdoor sales and permitting eligible Dublin businesses to conduct periodic outdoor sales through the Administrative Conditional Use Permit process(see attachment 1). The Planning Department has surveyed and reviewed the regulations and procedures of several nearby cities, and has met with the Chamber of Commerce Outdoor Sales Committee to receive input regarding the outdoor sales issue,and related temporary outdoor events and business ventures. As a result of this research and input,staff has prepared the following report. Potentially XI. PUBLIC SERVICES.

A"No Impact"answer is adequately supported if the referenced information sources show that the impact simply does not apply to projects like the one involved(e.g.,the project falls outside a fault rupture zone). A"No Impact"answer should be explained where it is based on project-specific factors as well as general standards(e.g.,the project will not expose sensitive receptors to pollutants, based on a project-specific screening analysis). 2) All answers must take account of the whole action involved,including off-site as well as on-site,cumulative as well as project-level,indirect as well as direct,and construction as well as operational impacts. 3) "Potentially Significant Impact"is appropriate if there is substantial evidence that an effect is significant. If there are one or more"Potentially Significant Impact"entries when the determination is made,an EIR is required. 4) "Negative Declaration: Potentially Significant Unless Mitigation Incorporated" applies where the incorporation of mitigation measures has reduced an effect from"Potentially Significant Impact"to a"Less Significant Impact." The lead agency must describe the mitigation measures,and briefly explain how they reduce the effect to a less than significant level(mitigation measures from Section XVII,"Earlier Analyses,"may be cross-referenced). 5) Earlier analyses may be used where,pursuant to the tiering,program EIR,or other CEQA process,an effect has been adequately analyzed in an earlier EIR or negative declaration. Section 15063(c)(3)(D).). In this case a discussion should identify the following on attached sheets: a) Earlier analyses used. Identify earlier analyses and state where they are available for review. b) Impacts adequately addressed. Identify which effects from the above checklist were within the scope of and adequately analyzed in an earlier document pursuant to applicable legal standards,and state whether such effects were addressed by mitigation measures based on the earlier analysis. c) Mitigation measures. For effects that are"Less than Significant with Mitigation Incorporated,"describe the mitigation measures which are incorporated or refined from the earlier document and the extent to which they address site-specific conditions for the project. 6) Lead agencies are encouraged to incorporate into the checklist references to information sources for potential impacts (e.g.,general plans,zoning ordinances). Reference to a previously prepared or outside document should,where appropriate,include a reference to the page or pages where the statement is substantiated. See the sample question below. A source list should be attached,and other sources used or individuals contacted should be cited in the discussion. 7) This is only a suggested form,and lead agencies are free to use different ones. 10 4. All Coverages. Each insurance policy required by this clause shall be endorsed to state that coverage shall not be suspended, voided, cancelled by either party, reduced in coverage or in limits except after thirty (30) days' prior written notice by certified mail, return receipt requested, has been given to the City. (e) Acceptability of Insurers. Insurance is to be placed with insurers with a Bests' rating of no less than A:VII. (f) Verification of Coverage. Contractor shall furnish City with certificates of insurance and with original endorsements effecting coverage required by this clause. The certificates and endorsements for each insurance policy are to be signed by a person authorized by that insurer to bind coverage on its behalf. The certificates and endorsements are to be received and approved by the City before work commences. The City reserves the right to require complete, certified copies of all required insurance policies, at any time. (g) $ubcontr actors. Contractor shall include all subcontractors as insureds under its policies or shall furnish separate certificates and endorsements for each subcontractor. All coverages for subcontractors shall be subject to all of the requirements stated herein. (h) The Risk Manager of City may approve a variation in those insurance requirements upon a determination that the coverages, scope, limits and forms of such insurance are either not commercially available or that the City's interests are otherwise fully protected. 6. CONTRACTOR NO AGENT. Except as City may specify in writing, Contractor shall have no authority, express or implied, to act on behalf of City in any capacity whatsoever as an agent. Contractor shall have no authority, express or implied, pursuant to this Agreement to bind City to any obligation whatsoever. 6. ASSIGNMENT PROHIBITED.

Any attempted or purported assignment of any right or obligation pursuant to this Agreement shall be void and of no effect. -12- ENVIRONMENTAL CHECKLIST RESPONSES & ANALYSIS The following discussion includes explanations of answers to the above questions regarding potential environmental impacts, as indicated on the preceding checklist. Each subsection is annotated with the number and letter corresponding to the checklist form. A majority of the potential impacts discussed within this initial study were addressed in the earlier analysis of the Eastern Dublin General Plan Amendment/Specific Plan Amendment Final EIR(FEIR), incorporated by reference, and the mitigation measures adopted. Mitigation measures are noted, and the matrix of mitigation measures is included as Attachment A. The program EIR& addendum adequately describe the impacts of the project, and there have been no changes or new information requiring a supplemental EIR, pursuant to Public Resources Code Section 21166 and CEQA Guidelines Section 15162. EXISTING SETTING: The project is located within the Eastern Dublin Specific Plan area and is included in the Environmental Impact Report prepared for the Specific Plan area. Please refer to the Eastern Dublin GPA/SPA Final EIR for a description of the existing project setting. POTENTIAL IMPACTS AND MITIGATION MEASURES: I. LAND USE& PLANNING: The project is consistent with the General Plan land use designations and with the Eastern Dublin Specific Plan. The proposed amendments to the roadway requirements for development within the Specific Plan areas will help to maintain consistency with the requirements of the Tri-Valley Traffic Model, and with the City's requirements for ensuring adequate circulation facilities in the Specific Plan area. The proposed amendments do not change any land uses in the area affected by the proposed project, and the impacts of development in the project were addressed in the earlier analysis of the Eastern Dublin Specific Plan/General Plan Amendment Final Environmental Impact Report (FEIR). The proposed amendment will not raise significant new impacts beyond those discussed in the FEIR. II. POPULATION& HOUSING: The adoption of the Eastern Dublin Specific Plan signified the City's intent to introduce growth in an area that previously supported minimal development. Growth inducing impacts associated with the adopted Specific Plan were analyzed in the prior EIR. Please refer to the earlier analysis of the FEIR, pp. 3.2-1 through 3.2-11, for a discussion of population and housing provision. No significant impacts not previously analyzed in the Eastern Dublin GPA/SPA Final EIR are expected to occur for the proposed amendments to the Specfic Plan Circulation Element, because the type and intensity of land uses in the Specific Plan area are not proposed to be changed. The proposed amendment to the General Plan Firgure 5.1 diagram involving lane requirements will not adversely affect the circulation system, because the proposed change will increase the width and number of lanes on Dublin Boulevard in certain segments, and 11 timeframes. CGMS'and Seifel Associates experience in other jurisdictions would be used as a basis for the discussion, 3. Review and comment on any written materials prepared by City staff for the Planning Commission and City Council meetings referenced below. 4. CGMS would attend a meeting of the Planning Commission and a meeting of the City Council,currently scheduled for January 2 and January 9, respectively. Seifel Associates would attend these meetings if requested to do so by City staff,depending on the expected nature and level of discussion regarding inclusionary zoning. Seifel Associates would attend up to two additional meetings to discuss inclusionary zoning issues, 5. CGMS and Seifel Associates would provide follow-up advice and 'commentary in response to Commission and Council questions and discussion. The amount of time required for such follow-up is unknown at this time but would be calculated to correspond with the amount of funds remaining under this Agreement. No work beyond the scope of work listed here would be conducted without the approval of all the parties. FURTHER SERVICES: Specific products or services may be identified as a result of the meetings and City Council direction. The City and CGMS and Seifel Associates would agree at such time as to the nature of the product,scope of services and compensation level. -5- provide the capacity needed for existing approved projects. The proposal would not result in growth inducing impacts because the project does not involve any changes in land uses nor increase the allowable intensity of land uses. A negative declaration will be adopted for this portion of the project. III. GEOLOGIC PROBLEMS: These items were addressed in the earlier analysis of the FEIR, and through various mitigation measures. No new impacts not previously analyzed in the Eastern Dublin GPA/SPA Final EIR are expected to occur. IV. WATER: These items were addressed in the earlier analysis of the FEIR, and through various mitigation measures. No impacts not previously analyzed in the Eastern Dublin GPA/SPA Final EIR are expected to occur. V. AIR QUALITY: These items were addressed in the earlier analysis of the FEIR, and through various mitigation measures. No impacts not previously analyzed in the Eastern Dublin GPA/SPA Final EIR are expected to occur from this proposed project. VI. TRANSPORTATION/CIRCULATION: The impacts to transportation and circulation were addressed in the earlier analysis of the FEIR, and through various mitigation measures. The FEIR indicates four traffic/circulation impacts which are not capable of mitigation to a level of insignificance. Two of them affect intersections and the other two the general operation of I-580. Cumulative impacts affecting I-580 would occur irrespective of development under the Eastern Dublin Specific Plan. These four impacts have been included in the Statement of Overriding Considerations adopted with the Specific Plan. The proposed amendments will affect the improvements to roadway systems by new development as required by the FEIR and conditions of individual project approvals (e.g.: roadway widths). Because these measures will be completed concurrent with individual development projects in the Specific Plan area, the potential impacts upon the circulation system will be mitigated to a level of insignificance. No new mitigation measures are required. Potential impacts of hazards to safety from design features (e.g., sharp curves or dangerous intersections)or incompatible uses(e.g., farm equipment);inadequate emergency access or access to nearby uses; insufficient parking capacity on- or off-site were identified in the FEIR. All projects must go through a site development process prior to approval and are required to meet all City zoning standards. Because of the combination of land uses future developments will be required to meet the City zoning standards for each use. No mitigation measures are required. The above-noted traffic impacts of the project will be mitigated by the following mitigation measures of the EIR and Action Programs of the Specific Plan: MM3.3/2.1 through 3.3/16.1 and 3.12/7.0 and Action Programs 5A through 5D. Implementation of these mitigation measures will reduce most of the traffic-related impacts to a level of insignificance.The Eastern Dublin GPA/SPA Final EIR indicates that some impacts(both project-specific and cumulative)remain potentially significant even after implementation of proposed mitigation measures.Refer to the Eastern Dublin GPA/SPA Final EIR for a complete listing. Aside from the traffic related impacts noted above, the Project will not raise any new significant traffic impacts which have not already been evaluated in the previous environmental analyses. 12 EXHIBIT A SCOPE OF SERVICES December 7,1995 PROPOSAL TO: CITY OF DUBLIN Planning Department 100 Civic Plaza Dublin,CA 94568 Attn.: Tasha Huston TO PROVIDE: Advice and assistance to the City regarding the feasibility and appropriateness of affordable housing goals contained in the City's Housing Element and East Dublin Specific Plan.

A TSM Program would include strategies such as on-site distribution of transit information and passes,provision of shuttle services to BART stations,participation in regional ridesharing services,preferential parking for vanpools and carpools,and flexible or staggered work hours. Policy 5-21:Require all non-residential projects with 50 or more employees to participate in a Transportation Systems Management(ISM)program. 5.7.2 PARK-AND-RIDE LOTS Park-and-ride lots can provide a convenient location for drivers to meet for ridesharing. If transit service is provided to the lots,they can also provide parking for automobile access to the transit lines. Park-and-ride lots should be located adjacent to freeway interchanges and preferably along the route which most drivers take to work in the morning..In the eastern Dublin area,the park-and-ride lots should be located on the west side of Hacienda Drive,Tassajara Road and Fallon Road,as close to I-580 as possible. The lots should also be clearly visible and well lit to promote security. Policy 5-22:Establish park-and-ride lots, adjacent to the freeway interchanges at Hacienda Drive,Tassajara Road and Fallon Road,to facilitate ridesharing by eastern Dublin residents.

LAND USE AND CIRCULATION : CIRCULATION &SCENIC HIGHWAYS ELEMENT Government Code sec.65302(b)requires that circulation elements include diagrams,policies and programs for existing and proposed major thoroughfares,transportation routes,terminals and other public utilities and facilities. The statute further requires that these circulation and public services features be correlated with the land use element. That is,the General Plan must propose circulation and public services adequate to meet the needs of the population planned for in the land use element. Dublin's proposed road system for the Primary Planning Area is shown on Figure 1-1,the General Plan map I for Land Use and Circulation. Proposed traffic transportation and roadway policies are presented below in this element. Information supporting the policies is located in the Technical Supplement,sec.2.4,Circulation and Scenic Highways Element. The policies and standards in this element also pertain to the extended planning areas. Proposed public utilities and facilities are addressed in sec.3.0,the Parks and Open Space Element,and in sec.4.0,the Schools,Public Lands,and Utilities Element. Information supporting these policies is located in the Technical Supplement,sec.2.2,Open Space Element and sec.2.3,Schools,Public Lands and Utilities Element. The City of Dublin Circulation Plan was designed to comply with applicable regional transportation policies. The Tri-Valley Transportation Council's Tri-Valley Transportation Plan/Action Plan for Routes of Regional Significance prescribes the long-range transportation vision for the Tri-Valley area,and identifies specific transportation performance criteria for the member agencies(Alameda County.Contra Costa County Danville.Dublin,Livermore.Pleasanton and San Ramon). The City of Dublin should use the Action Plan as a guideline in the development of its transportation system. This Circulation Element also identifies policies and criteria for streets not included in the Action Plan. 5.1 ROADWAYS The roadway system was designed to accommodate-peak period traffic demand and minimize excessive delays and congested conditions during peak hours. The street design standards specify the widths and other design features necessary to ensure there is sufficient roadway capacity to accommodate future travel on Dublin streets. The most prominent features of Dublin's transportation network are Interstate 580(which forms the southern boundary of the City)and Interstate 680(which bisects Central Dublin). The interchange between these two freeways is currently being upgraded to improve the vehicle carrying capacity. Additionally,new freeway hook ramps are to be constructed on 1-680 to improve access to the downtown area and the west Dublin BART s ation. 5-DRAFT CIRCULATION ELEMENT UPDATE Page 1 4/11/97 • Vehicular traffic volumes on most arterial streets in Dublin are expected to increase steadily over the life of this General Plan. Projected vehicular traffic growth is attributed primarily to extensive development activity expected in west and east Dublin and in the surrounding Tri-Valley area. 5.1.1 Roadway Standards Guiding Policy A. Design non-residential streets to (1) accommodate forecasted average daily traffic demand on segments between intersections,and (2) minimize congested conditions during peak hours of operation at intersections and serve a balance of vehicles, bicycles, pedestrians and transit. B. Design residential collector streets, residential streets and cul-de-sacs.to serve a balance of vehicular, bicycle and pedestrian traffic and to prevent misuse of residential areas by through vehicular traffic. Implementing Policy SC. Design streets according to the standards set forth in paragraphs 1 through 7 below, as well as the listed Additional Design Criteria. If average daily traffic(ADT) is greater than the stated approximate • maximum ADT, design the street to a higher functional classification, . Exceptions to these standards may be granted by the Public Works Director/City Engineer if a finding(s)Gan • he is made that the exception is consistent with all applicable circulation policies and does not compromise public safety or access. In addition, the required cross-section could be reduced las approved by the Public Works Director/City Engineer) where existing adjacent development makes the full cross-section infeasible. 1.

If on-street parking is to be permitted on roadways that are part of the bicycle circulation system.an additional 10 feet of paved width and right-of-way shall be provided. The prime arterial streets are designed to distribute localized trips. Typically,intersections with median openings shall be spaced no closer than 660 750 feet. Any other intersections without median openings may be approved by the Public Works Director/City Engineer. A raised median is required to separate the two directions of travel and to improve the visual appearance of the travel corridor. Approaches to arterial intersections with Class I collectors as well as other arterials shall be widened in order to provide fee additional lanes for left-turn and /er right-turn movements. Access to and from six—Jane-prime arterial streets from abutting commercial properties shall be I controlled but not restricted. No direct vehicular or non-vehicular access from single-family residential homes is allowed. Parking on these streets shall be prohibited with the exception of emergency parking. Bike lanes • shall be provided. Pedestrian crossings should be carefully selected to direct pedestrians to designated • crossing points at signalized intersections. A maior portion of the roadway capacity of the arterials in East Dublin is required to serve future Contra Costa County residents. Although sufficient right-of-was should be preserved construction of the full roadway width for these facilities should be completed only after the City has secured a fair-share financial agreement with the appropriate agency. EXAMPLES: San Ramon Road from 1580 to south of Dublin Boulevard. 2.

Reserve right-of-way and construct improvements necessary to allow streets to accommodate projected vehicular traffic with the least friction. The Daily Projected Traffic Volumes maps(Figures 5-la and 5-1b)show existing and projected flows and lane requirements. The General Plan does not include more detailed street improvement proposals. E For Streets defined as Routes of Regional Significance in the Tri-Valley Transportation Council's Tri- Valley Transportation Plan/Action Plan for Routes of Regional Significance(hereinafter referred to as"the TVTC Action Plan" the City of Dublin is required to make a"good-faith effort"to maintain Level of Service (LOS)D(V/C<0.91)on arterial segments and at intersections. If this Transportation Service Objective(TSO1 is violated.the City can implement transportation improvements or other measures to improve level of service. If such improvements are not possible or are not sufficient,the City may refer the problem to the TVTC for joint resolution. In the event that the TVTC cannot resolve the violation to the mutual satisfaction of all members.Dublin may modify the level of service standard but only if other jurisdictions are not physically impacted. 5-DRAFT CIRCULATION ELEMENT UPDATE Page 9 4/11/97 The Routes of Regional Significance within the City of Dublin are as follows:Dublin Boulevard Dougherty Road.Tassajara Road.and San Ramon Road. GF For streets that are not defined as Routes of Regional Significance in the TVTC Action Plan.StFive strive to phase development and road improvements so that the operating Level of Service(LOS)for intersections in Dublin shall not be worse than LOS D.
