The remainder of work is City Staff time, budgeted under the Engineering Department and Planning Department operating budget. COPIES TO' Applicant  Owner ITEM NO. PA 90-033 PA 88-010 DBXX DESCRIPTION: In order to facilitate the opening of the Hacienda Road interchange and to expedite additional access from the downtown areas of Dublin to Tassajara Road, a two lane access road has been proposed from the Southern Pacific Railroad right-of-way east to Tassajara Road. City Staff, including TJKM, the City's traffic engineer, have examined the area and prepared recommendations for the right-of-way line (see Exhibit 5). Need The Hacienda Drive interchange at Interstate 580 is partially constructed at this time. Federal Highway and Caltrans regulations require that a road parallel to Interstate 580 north of the Hacienda Drive interchange running from Tassajara Road to Dougherty Road must be constructed and open to traffic prior to the opening of the interchange. The requirements do not specify how far or close the parallel road must be from Interstate 580. It does require that the parallel road must have one lane in each direction and connect directly to Interstate 580 at the existing and future interchanges. A two lane parallel road will offer the following benefits to Dublin's circulation and traffic flow: 1) The Hacienda interchange can be completed and open to traffic, thus providing alternative circulation routes into Dublin. 2) Internal circulation will be provided in the area east of Dougherty Road to Tassajara Road, which will provide additional circulation lines from downtown Dublin to the eastern area, and reduce the community's dependence on the Dougherty Road/Hopyard interchange. 3) Access will be provided to the future East Dublin/Pleasanton BART station site from the downtown area of Dublin, as well as access to the future BART site from the east. 4) Improve public safety vehicle access to the Santa Rita Jail property. Size/Capacity Exhibit 7 depicts the proposed cross section of the parallel road. Preliminary evaluation of the road calls for two traffic lanes with a paved section of forty feet within a fifty-five foot right-of-way. The fifty-five foot right-of-way will be able to accommodate approximately 17,500 average daily trips (ADT). A description of the proposed right-of-way line is contained in Exhibit 6. Impacts The construction of the two lane access road will have minimal impact to the property through which the proposed right-of-way line would pass. The area which makes up the right-of-way line is presently vacant and is owned by the - 2 Federal Government (Camp Parks), Alameda County and Southern Pacific Transportation Company. (Representatives from both of the governmental bodies have been involved with the establishment of this right-of-way). The establishment of the right-of-way line from the Southern Pacific Railroad right-of-way to Tassajara Road will not adversely affect any existing businesses or other properties. Timing No precise schedule has been established for construction of the road. Through a cooperative effort between Alameda County and the Cities of Dublin and Pleasanton, it may be possible for the road to be constructed within the next two years. Additional County action would be required for this to occur. Costs Preliminary estimated costs for design, improvement and environmental mitigation of the road will be approximately $3 million, including the two lane roadway link between this access road and the Hacienda Interchange. Financing agreements between the various parties would require separate action by the City Council. Recommendation On April 23, 1990, with the recommendation of the Planning Commission and Staff, the City Council adopted a Resolution of Intention to establish the right-of-line. Staff recommends that the City Council waive the reading and introduce the ordinance establishing a right-of-way line. - 3 ORDINANCE NO. 90 AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY OF DUBLIN ESTABLISHING RIGHT-OF-WAY LINES FOR THE TWO LANE ACCESS ROAD CONNECTING TO THE HACIENDA INTERCHANGE AND PARALLEL TO INTERSTATE 580 The City Council of the City of Dublin does ordain as follows: WHEREAS, the City Council adopted a Resolution calling for a public hearing to consider future right-of-way lines for the two lane access road connecting the Hacienda interchange and parallel to Interstate 580 (Resolution No. 50-90) and set a public hearing for May 14, 1990 at 7:30 p.m. to hear objections to the establishment of said right-of-way lines; and WHEREAS, proper notice of said public hearing was duly given; and WHEREAS, no protests were made either in writing or orally to the establishment of said right-of-way lines.

Does the project have the potential to degrade the quality of the environment, substantially reduce the habitat of a fish or wildlife species, cause a fish or wildlife population to drop below self-sustaining levels, threaten to eliminate a plant or animal community, reduce the number or restrict the range of a rare or endangered plant or animal or eliminate important examples of the major periods of California history or prehistory? b. Does the project have the potential to achieve short-term to the disadvantage of long-term, environmental goals? (A short-term impact on the environment is one which occurs in a relatively brief, definitive period of time while long- term impacts will endure well into the future.) c. Does the project have impacts which are individually limited but cumulatively considerable? (A project may impact on two or more separate resources where the impact on each resource is relatively small, but where the effect of the total of those impacts on the environment is' significant.) d. does the project have environmental effects which will cause substantial adverse effects on human beings, either directly or indirectly?

INITIAL STUDY REGARDING THE RIGHT-OF-WAY LINE FOR A NEW TWO LANE ACCESS ROAD CONNECTING TO THE HACIENDA INTERCHANGE AND PARALLEL TO INTERSTATE 580. Part II. Environmental Impacts - Explanation of Answers. A portion of the site is located within an Alquist-Priolo Special study Zone which has evidence of 3 traces of the Pleasanton Fault. Design and construction of a roadway should include a geotechnical report which precisely locates the faults. Roadways and utilities which cross the fault lines should be designed to minimize damage or loss resulting from the highest magnitude seismic occurrence anticipated for the site. 2a. AIR This project could provide access for up to 17,000 vehicles per day. A portion of these vehicles would be displaced from 1-580 and would use this facility as a frontage road to avoid conjestion on 1-580. To the extent that displaced vehicles would not be idling on the freeway, fewer pollutants will be generated. Some users of this facility would be accessing future developments in the extended planning area of East Dublin. This project of itself would not attract significant additional traffic, but would open up development opportunities along the corridor. The pollutants will not exceed state or national air quality standards. 3h. WATER This project, of itself, would not contribute substantial additional run-off which could affect downstream flooding. A portion of the site is located in a 100-year flood zone. All drainage will be adequate to prevent downstream flooding and to meet Federal, State and local standards. 4a. PLANT LIFE and 5a. ANIMAL LIFE Biological surveys were conducted at Camp Parks (at the alternative site for a Northern california Veterans Cemetery) between August 18 and September 5, 1986. Spring plant surveys were also conducted in 1985 by the Environmental office of the sixth U.S. Army. These studies concluded that no endangered, threatened or candidate species of plants or animals exist on the site (Veterans Administration, FEIS, pp. 4-42 to 48). The site supports introduced annual grasses and pioneer weed species with California ground squirrels and graniferous bird species. A channelized, intermittent creek passes along Camp Parks at the eastern boundary. The creek supports a limited riparian habitat. This project would have minimal effects on the creek. Other, future development in the area should consider rejuvenation of the creek through grading and replanting with a small riparian plant community. The eastern portion of the County property is bisected by Tassajara Creek. A March 1990 field trip revealed that in the area of the proposed road crossing, the creek supports grasses similar to the area above the bank and is devoid of riparian shrub and tree species. The project would not have any adverse affect on the biotic community in either the Camp Parks or Alameda County portion of the site. 8. LAND USE Several radiation experiments were conducted at Camp Parks between 1959 and 1980. Since the cessation of the operations a number of surveys have been conducted to identify any residual, abnormal levels of radiation. A 1982 investigation recommended prohibition of agricultural use and decontamination of the area between Buildings 331 and 332 prior to disturbance of the area (FEIS, Veterans Administration pp. 5-13 and 14). A March, 1987 inspection of Camp Parks was conducted to evaluate the presence of hazardous and radioactive materials (including several buildings and areas alleged to be contaminated by either hazardous materials or radioactivity). The findings of that investigation were that the levels of radiation were all well below background (that level normally existing in the ambient atmosphere). (Environmental Assessment, Federal Detention Center p. 31 and P. C-2). The eastern project area, excessed by the Army to Alameda County in 1964, has been used for agricultural purposes since that time. Investigations of that area indicate that no hazardous or radioactive materials are present. The proposal will not result in a substantial alteration of the present or planned use of the surrounding area. 13a. and 13c. TRANSPORTATION/CIRCULATION The existing Level Of Service (LOS) for the Dougherty Road/Dublin Boulevard intersection to the west of the proposed right-of-way is LOS C. It is anticipated that by 1995 this intersection would be operating at LOS D. Tassajara Road to the east is currently operating at LOS A and is anticipated to be operating at LOS B or better. The intersection of the future Hacienda Boulevard at the two lane road extension is anticipated to operate at LOS B or better. A facility like the proposed two lane access road would typically have a capacity of 17,000 vehicles per day. There are no existing land uses adjacent to the proposed roadway that would generate traffic to add to the demands on adjacent roadways. As an alternate route to 1-580, the roadway could actually reduce impacts to that highway. Future development of the surrounding area will not occur until the completion of the East Dublin General Plan Amendment/Specific Plan. During the Specific Plan process, additional circulation facilities and their location will be addressed and evaluated. No increases in traffic demands on adjacent transportation facilities are anticipated at this time. Other transportation facilities which would serve/connect with the proposed road are adequate to accommodate the roadway's travel demands. As stated above, the capacities of the roads are adequate and the travel on 1-580 could actually be reduced by this roadway. It is not anticipated that the design of the project or conditions in the surrounding area would increase accidents due to circulation conflicts. 14e. PUBLIC SERVICES It is anticipated that the roadway and its intersections with existing facilities will have normal maintenance requirements that are well within the ability of the City of Dublin to provide. 21anend3 NEGATIVE DECLARATION (To be prepared pursuant to City of Dublin Environmental Guidelines, Section 1.7(c), 5.5) Description of Project: Adoption of a Right-Of-Way line for a new two lane access road connecting to the Hacienda Interchange and parallel to Interstate 580.
