Earlier Analysis
Residential development of the Windstar site has been planned for and has been reviewed in
several CEQA analyses. The previous analyses are briefly summarized below and in the
accompanying initial study. The complete documents are on file and available for review in the
Dublin City Hall.
On February 8, 1990, the Bay Area Rapid Transit (BART) Board of Directors (Lead Agency for
the 'project) approved the, extension of the BART transportation system to Dublin and
Pleasanton. In conjunction with the system extension, the BART Board of Directors certified
the Dublin/Pleasanton Extension Project Environmental Impact Report (hereafter "Extension
Project EIR") for the 12 mile BART rail line extension and two BART stations (SCH
1989011009) incorporated herein by reference and available for review at City Hall, located at
100 Civic Plaza, during normal business hours. The Extension Project EIR also included a
study of the environmental impacts related to constructing a parking lot for the BART Station
on the Windstar parcel.
In 2001, the BART Board of Directors approved, a plan to construct the West
Dublin/Pleasanton BART Station and the joint development of BART owned parcels (with non
BART uses) within the Cities of Dublin and Pleasanton. The BART Board of Directors (Lead
Agency for the project) certified a Supplemental Environmental Impact Report for the West
Dublin/Pleasanton BART station and Transit Village Project (hereafter "Transit Village SEIR")
on April 2, 2001 (SCH 2000042058) incorporated herein by reference and available for review
at City Hall, located at 100 Civic Plaza, during normal business hours. The Transit Village
SEIR included a study of the environmental impacts related to the construction of a residential
development on the Windstar parcel. The City of Dublin, as the Responsible Agency,
processed a related Transit Village project proposed by Jones, Lang, LaSalle.
On December 19, 2000, the City Council adopted Resolution 226-00 adopting a Negative
Declaration for the West Dublin BART Specific Plan (hereafter "Specific Plan ND")
incorporated herein by reference and available for review at City Hall, located at 100 Civic
Plaza, during normal business hours. During the same meeting, the City Council adopted
Resolution 227-00 approving the West Dublin BART Specific Plan which encouraged high-
intensity, mixed-use development in close proximity to the BART Station. The Specific Plan
and the ND assumed high density residential uses on the Windstar Project site.
On March 2, 2004, the City Council adopted Resolution 29-04 adopting an Addendum to the
Specific Plan ND and the Transit Village SEIR for the Transit Village project, incorporated
herein by reference and available for review at City Hall, located at 100 Civic Plaza, during
normal business hours. This project, proposed by Orix/Ampelon, included a Specific Plan

Amendment to allow a 210 unit residential development, 150 room hotel and 7,500 square
feet of retait space.
Consistent with CEQA Guidelines SS 15162 and 15163, the following initial study examines
whether additional environmental review is required for the Windstar Project. Pursuant to More
specifically, this Initial Study/Mitigated Negative Declaration will examine whether the Project
would result in new or more significant impacts or whether there are site or project specific
impacts that were not addressed in either the Extension Project EIR or the Transit Village
SEIR.
All applicable mitigation measures in the Extension ProjectEIR and the Transit Village SEIR,
in addition to the mitigation measures in this Mitigated Negative Declaration, continue to apply
to this project.
West Dublin BART Specific Plan
The West Dublin BART Specific Plan was adopted by the City Council on December 19, 2000
(Resolution 227-00). The Specific Plan area is generally located between 1-580 to the south,
Dublin Boulevard to the north, San Ramon Road to the west and 1-680 to the east. The
Specific Plan area is shown on the map below.
The West Dublin BART Specific Plan envisions a transit oriented development with a mix of
uses located near public transportation. The Specific Plan envisions a variety of jobs, services,
residential units and public transportation opportunities within the .specific plan area. The close
proximity of jobs, services and dwellings to public transit encourages residents and employees
to use public transit services. Additionally, once improvement projects are completed in the
Initial Study/Mitigated Negative Declaration for Windstar
City of Dublin

area, there will be bicycle paths and sidewalks with landscaping to promote a pedestrian
friendly environment and therefore will encourage residents and employees to walk rather than
drive in the area.
A Transit Oriented Development (TOD) provides many benefits to the community as well as
the region. The TOD places a mixture of units in a walkable area and also includes a variety of
convenient public transit opportunities to encourage the use of public transit or walking and
thereby reducing vehicle trips. TODs are typically located in an urbanized area which also
limits sprawl and greenfield development and focuses development where it can be efficiently
supported. A TOD promotes smart growth and a healthy community by encouraging walking or
bicycling and reducing automobile trips which reduce congestion and air quality impacts.
.
Project Location and Site Information
The project site is located at 6600 Golden Gate Drive near the future BART Station. The
location of the project site is shown on the map below.
The project site is a portion of APN 941-1500-046 and comprises 3.66 acres. The project site
contains annual grasslands and is relatively flat. The project site was previously developed
with a drive-in-movie theater which was demolished approximately 30 years ago and has been
vacant since then. A chain link fence is currently located around the property.
The site is located within a highly urbanized area. Surrounding uses include a freeway, major
roadways and buildings which contain. industrial, service, office and retail uses. Approvals
have been granted for a new office and residential development located adjacent to the
Windstar site (to the west). The BART parking structure is also currently under construction
and construction of the new BART station should commence shortly.

Project site
Project Description
The Windstar project is a transit oriented, dense residential development proposed by
Windstar. 'The Applicant has proposed to increase the number of units permitted on the site
from 210 to 309 (an increase of99 units). The increase in the number of units will not increase
the amount of surface area that will be developed. The increase in the number of units will
result in an increase in the height of the building which will be increased by one-story and will
result in a five story building. The Windstar project site is located next to the AMB project site
which was approved for a 308 unit residential development and a 150,000 square foot office
building.
The proposed increase in the number of units is consistent with the General Plan. The site is
designated as High-Density Residential in the General Plan and the designation allows a
density of 25.1 units or more peracre.
The increase in the number of units will require an amendment to the West Dublin BART
Specific Plan to allow the increased density. Prior analyses and the current Project assume
that the site will be fully improved.
The proposed Project will further the goal of the Specific Plan to lo~ate dwelling units near
public transit and jobs. The site is located in an urbanized area, surrounded by office, retail
and commercial buildings and roadways, and will represent an infill development by locating
new residential dwellings where services currently exist.
West Dublin BART Specific Plan Amendment
Windstar has proposed a 309-unit residential project on a 3.66-acre vacant site at 6600
Golden Gate Drive in the West Dublin BART Specific Plan area. The property is designated as
Residential in the West Dublin, BART Specific Plan which permits 30-58 dwelling units per
acre. Because the West Dublin Specific Plan limits the maximum number of units permitted on
the site to 210 dwelling units, the Applicant is requesting a Specific Plan Amendment to
Initial Study/Mitigated Negative Declaration for Windstar
City of Dublin
July 2007
Page 6
IOc+D'b '2~~
increase the maximum density permitted under the Specific Plan to permit the proposed 309-
unit project~ (The applicable General Plan designation of high density residential has no
maximum range; therefore, the General Plan is not required to be amended).
The increase in allowable density for the site will not result in an increase in the allowable
density for other residential sites in the Specific Plan area. Because this is the only site that is
designated as "Residential" in the Specific Plan, the increase in density will not result in an
increase to other parcels within the Specific Plan area. The proposed Project includes a
request to amend the Specific Plan so that the project will be consistent with the goals and
policies in the West Dublin BART Specific Plan.
Project Applications
r
Project applications considered in this Mitigated Negative Declaration include a Stage 1
Development Plan Amendment, Stage 2 Development Plan, Specific Plan Amendment and
Site Development Review.
West Dublin BART Specific Plan Amendment
As proposed by the Applicant, a Specific Plan Amendment is required in order to increase the
maximum number of units permitted in the Residential land use designation in the Specific
Plan to accommodate the Project.
Stage 1 Development Plan Amendment
The Stage 1 Amendment is required in order to increase the number of units that are
permitted to be constructed on the site. The Stage 1 Development Plan for the site was
adopted by the City Council on Marth 16, 2006 (Ordinance 8-04) which permitted the
construction of up to 210 dwelling units and needs to be amended to allow the construction of
309 units.
Stage 2 Development Plan
The Stage 2 Rezone establishes the number of units, permitted and conditionally permitted
uses, site plan, development regulations and architectural standards.
Site Development Review
The Site Development Review is the review of the project plans including floor plans, site plan,
landscaping and architectural plans.
Finding
There is no substantial evidence in light of the whole record before the City that the Project,
with mitigation measures applicable from the Extension project EIR and the Transit Village
SEIR, and as identified in the Initial Study, may have a significant effect on the environment.

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.
X Development of the Project site has been reviewed in prior CEQA documents.'
Significant impacts were identified and related mitigation measures continue to apply to the
Project. I find that although the proposed project could have a significant effect on the
environment, beyond those previously identified,there will not be a significant effect in this
case because revisions in the project have been made by or agreed to by the project
proponent. A MITIGATED NEGATIVE DECLARATION will be prepared.
I find that the proposed project MAY have a significant effect on the environment, and
an ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT REPORT is required.
I find that the proposed project MAY have a "potentially significant impact" or
"potentially significant unless mitigated" impact on the environment, but at least one effect 1)
has been adequately analyzed in an earlier document pursuant to applicable legal standards,
and 2) has been addressed by mitigation measures based on the earlier analysis as described
on attached sheets. An ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT REPORT is required, but it must analyze
only the effects that remain to be addressed. '
.1 find that although the proposed project could have a significant effect on the
environment, because all potentially significant effects (a) have been analyzed adequately in
an earlier EIR or NEGATIVE DECLARATION pursuant to applicable standards, and (b) have
been avoidec;l or mitigated pursuant to that earlier EIR or NEGATIVE DECLARATION,
including revisions or mitigation measures that are imposed upon the proposed project,
nothing further is required.

The following information is provided for the environmental checklist.
I. Aesthetics
The Project site is currently vacant. The site is surrounded by a variety of commercial and industrial
uses.
Project Impacts
a-b) Have a substantial adverse impact on a scenic vista or state scene highway?
NI. Construction of the Windstar project would change the character of the site from a vacant parcel
in close proximity to office and light industrial buildings to a dense, urbanized site with 309 residential
units. The increase in the number of units will result in an increase in the number of stories by one
and the height of the building will be similar to the height of the approved AMB building located
adjacent to the project site.
The project site is within the BART Transit
Village and the West Dublin Specific Plan
~.. area. A high density, transit oriented
development has been planned for on this site
since 2000. Additionally, a 308 unit project
(AMB) was approved by the City Council on
the adjacent parcel in 2003. As shown in the
Specific Plan, the City has planned for the
AMB Project I densification of this area to compliment the
. West Dublin BART Station and to take
. advantage of the area's proximity to the
future BART Station as well as transit opportunities in the area.
Aesthetic impacts related to the construction of this project were addressed in ,both the West
Dublin/Pleasanton BART Station and Transit Village Supplemental Environmental Impact Report
(hereafter "Transit Village SEIR") and the Initial Study/Negative Declaration for the West Dublin
BART Specific Plan (hereafter "Specific Plan MND"). The proposed development will be consistent
with the architectural features and siting of the approved 210 residential development for this site as
well as be compatible with the approved AMB residential development adjacent to the project site
and future development in the Specific Plan area. .
Initial Study/Mitigated Negative Declaration for Windstar
City of Dublin

Page 23
lat no 2'82
c) Substantially degrade existing visual character or the quality of the site?
NI.The existing site is vacant and is located in a highly urbanized
area. Once the project is complete, a new transit oriented
development with sidewalks and landscaping will be constructed
on the site which will enhance the site as well as comply with the
guidelines in the West Dublin BART Specific Plan. Construction
of the site as a high-density project is consistent with the vision of
the West Dublin BART Specific Plan which has envisioned the
area as a mixed use, pedestrian friendly neighborhood.
d) Create light or glare?
NI. A residential development has been planned for on this site in both the West Dublin BART
Specific Plan and the adopted Stage 1 Development Plan. The Stage 1 Development Plan allows the
construction of a 210 residential development. The proposed increase of 99 units will not create
additional light or glare other than what was identified in the Transit Village SEIR.
Overall, no additional impacts related to aesthetics, other than what was identified in the Extension
Project EIR, Transit Village SEIR or the Specific Plan MND, are expected to occur as a result of this
Project. All mitigation measures included in the Extension Project EIR and the Transit Village SEIR
will continue to apply to this project. '
II. Agricultural Resources
The existing site has been vacant for several years. The site was previously developed with a drive-in
movie theater that was demolished approximately 30 years ago. The project is not located on Prime
Farmland, Unique Farmland or Farmland of Statewide Importance as identified by the Farmland
Mapping and Monitoring Program of the California Resources Agency.
Proiect Impacts
a-c) Convert Prime Farmland, conflict with agricultural zoning or involve other changes which
could result in conversion of farmland to a non-agricultural use?
NI. The site has not been used for agricultural purposes for at least fifty years, and no Williamson Act
Land Conservation Agreement exists on the project site. The' project site is located ina highly
urbanized area, is surrounded by industrial, office and retail buildings and is completely isolated from
any agricultural resources. Additionally, the site is not located on Prime Farmland, Unique Farmland
or Farmland of Statewide Importance as identified by the Farmland Mapping and Monitoring Program
of the California Resources Agency.
No impacts to agricultural resources were identified in the previous environmental documents and no
impacts are expected to occur as a result of this Project.

. III. Ai r Quality
Dublin is located in the Tri-Valley Air Basin. Within the Basin, state and federal standards for nitrogen
dioxide, sulfur dioxide and lead are met. Standards for other airborne pollutants, including ozone,
carbon monoxide and suspended particulate matter (PM-10) are not met in at least a portion of the
Basin. For additional background information, please refer to the Transit Village SEIR pages 4.4-1 -
4.4-8. For information on traffic assumptions, please refer to he Triggering Analysis in Appendix B of
this Initial Study.
Proiect Impacts
a) Would the project conflict or obstruct implementation of an air quality plan?
NI. The proposed project would not conflict with the local Clean Air Plan adopted by the Bay Area Air
Quality Management District. The proposed project encourages the use of public transit which will
result in fewer car trips and will therefore generate fewer emissions that what is typically occurs from
residential developments. The Project's addition of one additional story is not a substantial increase
in constriction impacts and therefore no different or additional mitigation beyond Mitigation Measure
4.4-1 in the Transit Village SEIR is required for the Project.
b) Would the project violate any air quality standards?
LS. Construction of the building and site improvements could result in exceedance of ai( quality
standards due to dust and equipment emissions. However, the City of Dublin requires the approval
and implementation of a Construction Impact Reduction Plan as a standard condition of approval for
all new construction projects. Implementation of this standard condition will ensure that short-term air
quality impacts remain less than significant. Additionally, the Transit Village SEIR includes Mitigation
Measure 4,4,.1 which requires the implementation of several measures during construction to reduce
air quality impacts associated with construction activities to a less than significant level.
The Project will increase the number of vehicle trips in the area. However, the increased number of
trips has been determined to be less than significant in the Triggering Analysis (Appendix B). Trips
associated with this project, which result in an increase in air quality impacts associated with
automobile use, will be less than what is found in typical residential developments which are located
away from services, public transit and jobs. By increasing the density of this site, air quality impacts
will be minimized by locating residents near jobs and public transit which will reduce congestion and
vehicle trips in the area and therefore reduce air quality impacts.
c) Would the project result in cumulatively considerable air pollutants?
LS. Typical emissions associated with residential developments are emissions generated from
vehicles. In this case, the primary mobile source pollutant is carbon monoxide (CO). Typically, areas
of high CO concentrations are associated with roadways or intersections operating at high Levels of
Service, LOS E or worse. As discussed underthe Traffic/Transportation Section in this document, all
intersections affected by the proposed Project will continue to operate at an LOS of C or better with
the recommended improvements and therefore will be a less than significant level fo'r CO
concentrations.
Initial Study/Mitigated Negative Declaration for Windstar
City of Dublin
July 2007
Page 25
ld3 tb ~g?-
Additionally, as discussed above, the proposed project represents smart growth in that it is located in
close proximity to public transportation and Transit Oriented Developments typically have fewer
vehicle trips than typical residential developments. One of the key benefits of a TOD for a City and
the region is that a TOD typically reduces vehicle miles traveled and therefore reduces vehicle
emissions.
d) Would the project expose sensitive receptors to substantial pollutant concentrations?
LS. Please refer to the discussion under section a-c.
e) Would the project create objectionable odors?
NI. The proposed Project includes typical residential uses which do not typically create objectionable
odors.
Overall, no additional impacts related to air quality, other than what was identified in the Extension
Project EIR, Transit Village SEIR or the Specific Plan ND, are expected to occur as a result of this
Project. All mitigation measures included in the Extension Project EIR and the Transit Village SEIR
will continue to apply to this project.
IV. Biological Resources
Grasses on site
The project site is in a highly urbanized area. No wetlands or other bodies
of water are present on the site. The site currently contains common
annual grasses and shrubs. No Heritage Trees (as defined by Chapter
5.60, Heritage Trees, of the Municipal Code) are present on the site.
Construction of the site and removal of grasses was reviewed in the
Extension Program EIR and the Transit Village SEIR and the amount of
grassland removed in conjunction with this project will not be greater than
what was previously reviewed.
Project Impacts
a-d) Would the Project have a substantial adverse impact on a candidate, sensitive or special
status species? Riparian habitat or federally protected wetlands? Interfere with movement of native
fish or wildlife species?
LS. Potential impacts to rare, threatened or endangered species have been addressed in the
Extension Project EIR and the Transit Village SEIR The development of the proposed Windstar
project will result in the loss of approximately 3.66 acres of grassland habitat. No state or federally
listed species orspecial status species were identified on the site in the Extension Project EIR, nor
were any species identified during' a review of the California Department of Fish and Game's
California Natural Diversity Data Base (CNDDB) in 2000 and during a site reconnaissance survey on
March 16, 2000 (Transit Village SEIR). Due to the geographic location of the site between the 1-580
Initial Study/Mitigated Negative Declaration for Windstar
City of Dublin
July 2007
Page 26
t2~ Ob l~?/
freeway corridor, m,ajor roadways and the surrounding developments, it is highly unlikely that any
special status species have located on the site or have used the site as a movement corridor.
The proposed increase in density for the site will not increase the amount of grassland that will be
removed.. As proposed, the increase in density will result in an increase in the height of the Windstar
building and no change has been made to the coverage that was preliminarily approved in 2004.
Therefore, no new impacts to the site are expected to occur as a result of the proposed increase in
the number of dwelling units on the site.
The Extension Project EIR contains mitigation measures which require protection measures to
ensure that runoff from construction aytivities to the Dublin Creek Watershed is minimized to reduce
these impacts to a less than significant level.
e,f) Would the Project conflict with local policies or ordinances protecting biological resources or
any adopted Habitat Conservation Plans or Natural Community Conservation Plans?
NI. There are no trees on the site which meet the requirements for protection under the City's
Heritage Tree Ordinance. The project plans include a Landscape Plan which shows that new
landscaping will be planted throughout the site. The site is not located within the boundaries of any
Habitat Conservation Plan.
Overall, no additional impacts related to biological resources, other than what was identified in the
Extension Project EIR, Transit Village SEIR or the Specific Plan MND, are expected to occur as a
result of this Project. All mitigation measures included in the Extension Project EIR will continue to
apply to this project.
v. Cultural Resources
The project site was previously developed with a drive-in movie theater which was demolished 30
years ago. The site has been vacant since then. Surveys of the site were conducted in conjunction
with the Extension Project EIR and the Transit Village SEIR. No known historical or prehistoric
resources have been found on the site.
Proiect Impacts
a-d) Would the Project cause substantial adverse changes to significant historic, archeological or
paleontological resources or human remains?
LS. The project site was surveyed for the Extension Project EIR and the Transit Village SEIR to
determine if any cultural resources were present on the site. The survey found that no historic or
prehistoric materials were present on the site. However, disturbance of unknown cultural resources,
including disruption or destruction of prehistoric and/or historic resources could occur during grading
and construction activities on the site. To reduce the potential impacts to these resources, Mitigation
Measure 4.10-2, which requires that a qualified archeologist be consulted for evaluation of the 'site if
any unidentified cultural resources are found was included in the Transit Village SEIR to reduce
impacts to cultural resources to a less than significant level. The proposed project will not increase

11.~OO;)g2-
the area disturbed for construction and grading activities, other than what was previously identified,
and therefore~no additional impacts to cultural resources are expected to occur as a result of this
project.
OveraU, no additional impacts related to cultural resources, other than what was. identified in the
. Extension Project EIR, Transit Village SEIR or the Specific Plan MND, are expected to occur as a
result of this Project. All mitigation measures included in the Transit Village SEIR will continue to
apply to this project.
IV. Geology and Soils
The Project area is part of the San Francisco Bay Area, a seismically active region. The significant
earthquakes that occur in the Bay Area are generally associated with crustal movement along well-
defined, active fault zones of the San Andreas Fault system, which re'gionally trend in a northwesterly
direction. The San Andreas Fault, which generated the San Francisco earthquake of 1906, passes
west of the site. Two other major active faults in the area are the Hayward Fault (several miles west
of the site) and the Calaveras Fault (located about 1,300 feet west of the site) which runs parallel to
San Ramon Road and Foothill Road.
Project Impacts
a) Would the Project expose people or structures to substantial adverse effects including fault
rupture, strong seismic ground shaking, liquefaction or landslides?
LS. As discussed above, the Project site is located within a seismically active region. The ,Extension
Project EIR identified potentially significant impacts associated with strong seismic shaking and
liquefaction. The Extension Project EIR included a mitigation measure which requires the Project
developer to prepare a site specific geotechnical study for the project to reduce these impacts to a
less than significant level.
b) Would the Project result in substantial soil erosion or the loss of topsoil?
NI. The Project site is relatively flat and therefore has little potential for erosion potential. No
significant soil erosion impacts were identified in the Extension Project EIR or the Transit Village
SEIR.
c) Would the Project be located on soil that is unstable or would become unstable as a result of
the Project?
LS. Please refer to the discussion under section a above. The Extension Project EIR identified soil
instability impacts. associated with liquefaction and included mitigation measures which required
engineered design with specific design standards which reduce these impacts to a less than
significant level. '
d) Is the Project located on expansive soil?
Initial Study/Mitigated Negative Declaration for VVindstar
City of Dublin
July 2007
Page 28
12.~ Db Z?;2-
LS. The Transit Village SEIR notes that the Project site is located on younger alluvial fan deposits
which could include expansive soil components. The project design must conform to the Building
Code which contains standard engineering design requirements which will reduce potential impacts
to a less than significant level.
e) Does the Project site have soils incapable of supporting on-site septic tanks?
NI. The Project will be connected to a sanitary sewer system provided by the Dublin San Ramon
Services District and therefore septic tanks will not be used.
Overall, no additional impacts related to geology and soils, other than what was identified in the
Extension Project EIR, Transit Village SEIR or the Specific Plan MND, are expected to occur as a
result of this Project. All mitigation measures included in the Extensio'n Project EIR will continue to
apply to this project.
VI. Hazards and Hazardous Materials
The project site is currently vacant. Pursuant to Government Code Section 65962.5, the site is not
located on a hazardous waste and substance site. Phase 1 and 2 environmental assessments were
conducted in conjunction with the Extension Project EIR and the Transit Village SEIR. The SEIR
identified the project site as requiring monitoring and or a field sample prior to the commencement of
construction activities.
Project Impacts
a) Would the Project create a significant hazard to the public through the transport, use,
disposal or emission of hazardous materials?
LS. The proposed project is a residential development. No transportation or emission of hazardous
materials is expected to occur as a result of the project.. Small quantities of hazardous materials
including pesticides, fertilizers and cleaning materials are expected to be used on site. Federal, State
and local regulations are currently in place which control the use and storage of hazardous materials.
Because only small quantities of these materials are expected to be used on the site and because
the project would be required to comply with all applicable existing regulations concerning hazardous
materials, the project would not represent a significant hazard to the public or environment.
b) Would the Project create a significant hazard to the public through reasonable foreseeable
upset and accident conditions involving the likely release of hazardous materials into the
environment?
LS. Phase 1 and 2 Environmental Assessments were conducted on the site and the surrounding area
for the Extension Project EIR and the Transit Village SEIR to identify hazardous or potentially
hazardous conditions on the project site. As discussed in detail in the Transit Village SEIR (pages
4.7-1 - 4.7-10) multiple sites located within the vicinity of the project have the potential to
contaminate the soils or shallow groundwater in the .area. Construction activity associated with the
proposed project could expose workers or sensitive receptors. Mitigation measure 4.7-1 is included in
Initial Study/Mitigated Negative Declaration for Windstar
City of Dublin
July 2007
Page 29
lcif'oo 2~?
the Transit Village SEIR which requires field sampling of the site prior to construction to minimize
potential human exposure to contaminants to a less than significant level.
c) Would the Project emit hazardous emission within one-quarter mile of an existing or proposed
school?
NI. The project site is not located within one-quarter mile of an' existing or proposed school.
Additionally, the proposed Project is a residential development and hazardous emissions are not
anticipated to result from this type of development.
d) Would the Project be located on a site which is included on a list of hazardous materials
sites?
NI. See the response under section a for a discussion of potential impacts related to hazardous
materials in the vicinity of the. Project site.
e, f) If the site is located within an airport land use plan or within the vicinity of a private airstrip,
would the Project result in a safety hazard for people working or residing in the area?
NI. The Livermore Municipal Airport is located approximately 6 miles southeast of the site. The
Project site is not located within the airport land use plan for this airport. Additionally, the project site
is not located within the vicinity of a private airstrip.
g) Would the proposed Project impair the implantation of the adopted emergency response plan
or emergency evacuation plan?
NI. Adequate emergency access will be provided in the area through the existing streets, internal
driveway and by St. Patrick Way once completed.
h) Would the proposed project expose people or structures to a significant risk of loss, injury or
death involving wildland fires?
NI. The Project site is located in an urban area which is currently served by existing fire stations.
Overall, no additional impacts related to hazards and hazardous materials, other than what was
identified in the Extension Project EIR, Transit Village SEIR or the Specific Plan MND, are expected
to occur as a result of this Project. All mitigation measures included in the Extension Project EIR and
Transit Village SEIR will continue to apply to this project.
VIII. Hydrology and Water Quality
The project site is relatively flat. Precipitation generally infiltrates into the site's soils during storm
events. Because of the flat character of the parcel, precipitation generally infiltrates into the site's
soils during storm events. The stormwater that does drain off the site generally flows to the east into
existing storm drains within Golden Gate Drive and to the south into Dublin Creek. For additional
background information please refer to the Transit Village SEIR (pages 4.2.1 - 4.2.8).

I~.g Jt 2~?
Proiect Impacts
a) Would. the Project violate any water quality standards or waste discharge requirements?
LS/M. A study of non-point source (urban runoff) pollutants was conducted for the Extension Project
EIR. The study concluded that the total amount of non-point source pollutant loads due to the
construction of the BART Station and the associated parking would be less than 1 % of the overall
pollutant loads entering the Alamo Creek at the 1-580 crossing. The proposed project will not increase
the land that will be developed, over what was studied in the Extension Project EIR and the Transit
Village SEIR, and therefore, no additional impacts will result from construction of this project.
Additionally, the City's standard Conditions of Approval require the Applicant to prepare a Stormwater
Pollution Prevention Plan (SWPPP). Implementation of this plan would minimize soil runoff from
construction areas.
In a letter received from Zone 7, the Agency requested that a hydrologic analysis be prepared to
show rundff from the site will not have an impact on downstream facilities. Although previous reviews
have determined that the project will not result in additional impacts, the analysis requirement is
typically included in the standard conditions of approval for projects. In order to ensure that the
Project will not impact downstream facilities, the following mitigation measure has been included to
,reduce impacts related to runoff from the site to a less than significant level:
Mitigation Measure 1: The Applicant shall prepare a Hydrologic
Analysis to show that runoff from the site will not impact downstream
facilities. Zone 7 shall review the analyses for completeness and
accuracy and shall approve the analysis prior to issuance of a Building
Permit.
b) Would the Project substantially deplete groundwater recharge areas or lowering of water
tables?
LS. Because the proposed Project would develop the same area as anticipated in the Extension
Project EIR and the Transit Village EIR, no new significant groundwater impacts are anticipated.
c-d) Would the Project substantially alter drainage patterns or result in flooding on or off the
project site?
LS. The existing site is comprised of grassland and no impervious surfaces. The Extension Project
EIR and the Transit Village SEIR assumed that the entire site would be impervious following
construction of the Project. The proposed Project would not increase the total amount of impervious
surface area, therefore, no additional impacts will occur as a result of the proposed Windstar Project.
e) Would the Project create. stormwater runoff that would excfJed the capacity of drainage
systems or add substantial amounts of polluted runoff?
LS. The Extension. Project EIR included mitigation to minimize runoff from the Project site including
the use of detention ponds to control the rate of stormwater runoff. As discussed above, the
Initial Study/Mitigated Negative Declaration for Windstar
City of Dublin
July 2007
Page 31
\ 2."1 "6 2- ~ z.,
proposed Project will not increase the amount of surface area that will be graded or will be
impervious. Over what was studied in the Extension Project EIR and the Transit Village SEIR.
f) Would the Project substantially degrade water quality?
LS. Construction and grading of the Project would temporarily disturb surface soils and would result
in the removal of the existing grasses. Grading of the site could result in the exposure of soil to
runoff, potentially causing erosion. Chemicals could also be released at the Project site during
construction activities. The Transit Village SEIR includes Mitigation Measure 4.2-2 which requires a
Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan, BMPs and long-term stormwater management to reduce these
impacts to a less than significant level.
g) Would the Project place housing within a tOO-year flood hazard area as mapped by a Floor
Insurance Rate Map?
NI. This Project will not place structures within a 1 DO-year flood hazard area.
h,i) Would the Project place within a tOO-year flood hazard boundary structures that impede or
redirect flood floor, including dam failures?
NI. No portion of the Project site is located within a flood hazard area as defined by the Federal
Emergency Management Agency.
j) Would the Project result in inundation by seiche, tsunami or mudflows?
NI. The site is not located near a significant body of water which could result in a seiche. The risk of a
potential mudflow is considered low since the site and area are generally flat and no historic
mudflows or landslides have been identified on the site.
V. Land Use and Planning
The Project site is located adjacent to Golden Gate Drive and the future St. Patrick Way and in close
proximity to the new West Dublin/Pleasanton BART Station (currently under construction). The
Project site is located with the West Dublin BART Specific Plan area which anticipates that the
project site will be constructed with a high-density transit oriented development.
Project Impacts
a) Would the proposed Project physically divide an established community?,
NI. Although the Project site is currently vacant, the site is located in a highly urbanized area within
the City's West Dublin/Pleasanton BART Specific Plan area. Development of this site has been
anticipated since the adoption of the Specific Plan in 2000. .

13D Db t.'O'"2.-
b) Would the Project conflict with any applicable land use plan, policy or regulation?
NI. The proposed Project is consistent with the goals and policies of the General Plan. The increase
in density to allow a total of 309 units on a 3.66 acre parcel is consistent with the existing General
Plan land use designation of High-Density Residential which allows 25.1 units or more per acre.
The proposed Project includes a request to increase the density above what the Specific Plan allows.
The Applicant is requesting a Specific Plan Amendment to change the allowable density range for the
"Residential" land use category to increase the maximum density to 84 units 'per acre. The increase
in density will allow the construction of the proposed 309 unit residential development.
The increase in allowable density for the site will not result in an increase in the allowable density for
other residential sites in the Specific Plan area. Because this is the only site that is designated as
"Residential" in the Specific Plan, the increase in. density will not result in an increase to other
parcels. The proposed Project includes a request to amend the Specific Plan so that the project will
be consistent with the goals and policies in the West Dublin BART Specific Plan.
c) Would the Project conflict with a habitat or natural community conservation plan?
NI. A habitat or natural community conservation plan has not been adopted for this area and
therefore development on the project site would not impact an established plan.
Overall, no impacts to land use and planning are expected to occur as a result of this Project.
. VI. Mineral Resources
The Project site contains no known mineral resources.
Proiect Impacts
a, b) Would the project result in the loss of availability of significant mineral resources? NI.
The Project site is not located in an area of aggregate resources. Neither the Extension Project EIR
nor the Transit Village SEIR identified significant deposits of minerals. Therefore, no impacts are
anticipated to occur.
Overall, no impacts to mineral resources are expected to occur as a result of this Project.
XI. Noise
Major sources of noise on and adjacent to the Project site include noise generated by vehicles on 1-
580 which is located approximately 440 feet away from the Project site.
Initial Study/Mitigated Negative Declaration for Windstar
City of Dublin

Page 33
13lDb ~~
Project Impacts
a-f) Would the project expose persons or generation of noise levels in excess of standards
established by the General Plan or other applicable standard, expose people to groundborne
vibration, result in permanent increases in ambient noise levels?
LS. The Transit Village SEIR addressed potential noise impacts of implementing the proposed
Transit Village project. Noise related impacts identified in the EIR included exposure of future
residents in the residential portion of the development and occupants of the hotel to increased levels
of noise due to the proximity of the 1-580 freeway corridor, and exposure of residents and occupants
to construction noise from the BART Station and parking structure to be constructed on adjaceht
sites.
Mitigation Measures 4.3-1 through 4.3-4 outlined in the Supplemental EIR, require the project to
incorporate measures to minimize noise from construction activities and sound attenuation for the
building, will mitigate most of the noise impacts to a less than significant level. However, the impacts
of noise generated by the 1-580 freeway corridor on exterior noise levels in outdoor areas of the
project was identified as an impact that may remain significant even after mitigation and a Statement
of Overriding Considerations was adopted. Additionally,. on-site construction activities that occur after
the residential units are occupied could !3xceed acceptable ambient noise levels above the
significance thresholds, even with the implementation of proposed mitigation measures. This impact
was also identified as significant and unavoidable, with no additional or feasible mitigation available
to reduce it to a less-than-significant level, and a Statement of Overriding Considerations was
adopted in the BART SEIR. '
To mitigate interiofnoise levels to an acceptable level for the residences (Mitigation Measure 4.3-4)
the project developers will be required to commission an independent acoustical consultant to
develop noise attenuation measures to be incorporated into the design and construction of the
proposed residential and hotel components of the project (Charles Salter and Associates, 1997).
Adherence to site-specific mitigation measures contained in the acoustical analysis and all other
mitigation measures set forth in the West Dublin/Pleasanton BART Station and Transit- Village
Supplemental EIR will reduce noise impacts to a less-than-significant level.
Overall, no additional impacts related to noise, other than what was identified in the Extension Project
EIR, Transit Village SEIR or the Specific Plan MND, are expected to occur as a result of this Project.
All mitigation measures included in the Extension Project EIR and Transit Village SEIR will continue
to apply to this project.
XII. Population and Housing.
The City population as of January 1, 2007 was estimated by the State Department of Finance to be
43,630.
Project Impacts
a) Would the Project induce substantial population growth in an area, either directly or
indirectly?
Initial Study/Mitigated Negative Declaration for Windstar
City of Dublin
July 2007
Page 34
'?>2 flJ '2.~~
LS. Approval of the project would add an additional 99 multi-family housing units to the City's housing
supply, and introduce residential development to an area of predominantly retail/commercial and
office development. However, this is consistent with the intent of the Specific Plan and the General
Plan land use designation, and is considered an appropriate land use given the location of the future
West Dublin BART station and the regional need to develop housing in proximity to transit facilities.
No impacts are therefore anticipated, and no mitigationmeasures are required.
b,c) . Would the project displace substantial numbers of existing housing units or people?
NI. The site is vacant, and no housing exists on the site. Implementation of the proposed project
would therefore displace neither housing units nor people.
Overall, no impacts with respect to population and housing are expected to occur as a result of this
Project.
XIII. Public Services.
Fire Protection: The .City of Dublin contracts with the Alameda County Fire Department for fire
protection services including fire suppression, fire prevention, education, inspection services and
hazardous material control to the community.
Police Protection: The City of Dublin contracts with the Alameda County Sheriff Department to
provide 24-hour security patrols throughout the community in addition to crime prevention, crime
suppression and traffic safety.
Schools. The Dublin Unified School District (DUSD) provides educational services to residents in the
City of Dublin.
Maintenance. Maintenance of public streets, roads and other governmental facilities are the
responsibility of the City of Dublin Public Works Department.
Solid Waste Services. Solid waste services are provided by Amador Valley Industries.
Project Impacts
a) Fire protection?
LS. Construction of the proposed project would increase demand for fire and emergency services on
the site. As part of Site Development Review and Building Permit Review of this project, specific fire
protection requirements will be imposed to ensure compliance with the California Fire Code to ensure
that impacts are less than significant.
b) Police protection?
LS. An increase in the demand for police services may occur as a result of the increase in the
number of units on the site. As part of the Site Development and Building Permit review process,
Initial Study/Mitigated Negative Declaration for Windstar
City of Dublin
July 2007
Page 35
\ ~ ~>>b ~~t.-
specific security requirements will be imposed on the Project to ensure compliance with applicable
provisions of the City of Dublin Municipal Code. Incorporation of these measures will ensure that
impacts are less than significant.
c) Schools?
LS. The proposed Project will slightly increase the demand for schools. These demands will be offset
by the payment of the School Impact Fee which must be pair prior to Building Permit Issuance.
d) Maintenance of public facilities, including roads?
LS. Approval of the project would increase the long-term maintenance demand for roads. However,
the additional demands will be offset by additional City impact fees and property tax revenues.
e) Solid waste generation?
LS. Approval of the Project would increase generation of solid waste during construction and during
the life of the buildings. The Project will be required to provide adequate garbage and recycling
facilities on the site.
Overall, no additional impacts with respect to public services are expected to occur as a resultof this
Project.
XIV. Recreation
Nearby community and recreational facilities include: the Dublin Sports Park, the Library and the
future Heritage Park.
Proiect Impacts
a, b) Would the project increase the use of existing neighborhood or regional parks or require the
construction of new recreational facilities?
LS. Impacts to parks and recreational facilities related to the project have been addressed in the
Transit Village SEIR. A slight increase in demand for park facilities is anticipated with the Transit
Village project; however, it is not expected that future residents of the project would utilize the park
facilities in the City such that substantial deterioration of the facilities would occur. In accordance with
City of Dublin regulations, policies and standard project conditions of approval, the Applicant will be
required to pay park impact fees to cover any potential additional service costs related to the
development. .
Overall, no additional impacts to recreation are expected to occur as a result of this Project.

xv. Transportation/Traffic
Development of the site as a Transit Oriented Development (TOD) with up to 210 units was approved
in the 2004 Stage 1 Planned Development Rezone. The proposed Project will increase the total
number of units on the site by 99' (to a maximum of 309 dwelling units). A Triggering Analysis
(included as Appendix B) was prepared by T JKM in 2007 which reviewed whether the development
would trigger specified improvements in the area and updated the traffic analysis.
The prior SEIR examined a project of 160 dwelling units and 240 hotel room. The 2004 project
increased the dwelling units from 160 to 210, but reduced the hotel rooms by nearly half, from 240 to
150. The 2004 addendum determined that the modified project would not result in any new or more
significant impacts and would reduce the number of tips from the SEIR. As further discussed below,
the update traffic analysis in Appendix B concludes that the current Project will result in acceptable
Levels of Service with implementation of identified mitigation measures. .
The project site is part of a TOD which includes pedestrian access to public transit (including a new
BART Station), retail, entertainment, and commercial uses and in the future will also include
additional office space, retail and housing units. The BART Station will be a transit hub and will have
a bus pick-up and drop off area for several bus lines which can also be used by commuters in
addition to the BART rail system.
Traffic impacts related to the additional dwelling units is expected to be minor based on the proximity
of public transit and the typical desire of occupants of a TOD to take advantage of transit and
pedestrian opportunities in the area. TODs typically have fewer vehicle trips than dwellings located
more than 1,4 mile from transit hubs. Development of a residential project in this. location represents
smart growth in that it will reduce vehicle trips which reduces congestion and air quality impacts, is an
infill development which protects greenfields and places development where it can be served by
existing services and encourages walking, bicycling or the use of public transit.
Existing Transportation Network
The project site is served by a number of regional freeways and sub-regional arterial and collector
roadways including:
Interstate 580 - An eight lane east-west freeway that connects Dublin with local cities such as
Livermore to the east and Hayward and Oakland to the west. Interchanges near the project site
include Dougherty/Hopyard Road and San Ramon Road.
Interstate 680 - A six lane north-south freeway that connects Dublin with local cities such as San
Ramon to the north and Pleasanton to the south. Interchanges near the Project site include Village
Parkway'and Amador Plaza Road. .
Dublin Boulevard - This is a major arterial roadway in the City. The road extends from the City Limits
in the west and will connect to Fallon Road in the future.
Village Parkway - Extends from Clark Avenue to Alcosta Boulevard. Once Village Parkway crosses
over Dublin Boulevard, it has four lanes with a raised center landscaped and hardscape medians.
This road provides access to San Ramon and to a northbound freeway ramp onto 1-680.

Page 37
1~S-~2~Y-
Amador Valley Boulevard - This. road is located northwest of the Project site and extends in an east-
west direction. This road extends from San Ramon road to Dougherty Road.
San Ramon Road - This road is located to the east of the Project Site. San Ramon Road extends
from 1-580 (where it connects with Foothill Road in Pleasanton) to the City of San Ramon.
St. Patrick Way - This two-lane road currently extends from an off-ramp from the 1-680 freeway to
Golden Gate Drive. St. Patrick Way will be extended to the west jn the future in front of the project
site (to the north) from Golden Gate Drive to Regional Street.
Golden Gate Drive - This two-lane road is located adjacent to the project on the east and extends in
a north-south direction. This road begins at Dublin Boulevard and ends in a bulb where the BART
Station will be located.
Existing Transit Services
Altamont Commuter Express (ACE) Rail - The Altamont Commuter Express operates three trains per
day between Stockton and San Jose. The trains provide westbound service in the morning and
eastbound service in the evenings. The ACE train has stations in Livermore near the downtown and
on Vasco Road. The train also has one stop in Pleasanton on Pleasanton Avenue near Main Street.
The Pleasanton ACE train station is likely to be used by Dublin commuters and bus services connect
to the station which provides a transit link to Dublin.
Livermore Amador Valley Transit Authority (also known as WHEELS) - The Livermore Amador Valley
Transit Authority provides bus service to the communities of Dublin, Pleasanton and Livermore.
Several lines provide service to Eastern Dublin. The closest stop near the Project site is located at
Dublin Bowl less than one-quarter mile to the west of the ProjeCt site. The WHEELS bus system
connects to both the ACE train and the BART station. Once the West Dublin/Pleasanton BART
Station is complete, it is likely that additional bus stops (including at the station) will be located in the
area.
Dial-A-Ride (DAR) - Dial-A-Ride is a bus service which will pick a resident up and drop the resident
off at a desired location, by appointment. DAR is available for residents in Dublin, Pleasanton and
Livermore who have a disability or heath related condition and are unable to board a regular bus or
are unable to get to a bus stop. .
Bay Area Rapid Transit (BART) - BART currently operates trains between the EAST
Dublin/Pleasanton BART Station near Hacienda Drive and the Oakland/San Francisco area. Service
is available seven days a week. The new West Dublin/Pleasanton BART Station is currently ul'1der
construction and is expected to open in 2008. The new BART Station is located within walking
distance of the Windstar project (approximately 250 feet to the south) and the new Windstar project
and future projects will includes sidewalks, landscaping and other elements to promote a pedestrian
friendly environment.

Trip Generation
The proposed-Project with 309 units is expected to generate 137 am peak hour trips (23 in and 113
out) and 161 pm peak hour trips (108 in and 53 out). The increase in the number of units for the site
will result in an additional 96 am and 112pm trips.
Intersections Reviewed
Two intersections were review for this project. The intersections are St. Patrick Way/Golden Gate
Drive and Golden Gate Drive/Dublin Boulevard. The location of these intersections is shown on the
map below:
Planned Roadway Improvements
Future planned improvements in the area are:
. St. Patrick Way/Golden Gate Drive intersection will be a four-way stop controlled
intersection; and
. St. Patrick Way/Golden Gate Drive will be realigned with a two-lane eastbound
approach.

Project Impacts
a) Would the Project cause an increase in traffic, which is substantial to existing traffic load and
street capacity? '
LS/M. The Triggering Analysis completed for this Project concluded that the proposed Project would
not result in significant impacts to the intersections near the Project site with minor improvements to
the intersections as set forth in the two mitigations below. The Project is subject to payment of the
City's Traffic Impact Fee which funds improvements aimed at easing traffic congestion in the City.
Currently, both study intersections operate at a LOS of A. With construction of the Windstar Project
and the remainder of the Projects in the area (including the hotel, retail space and the adjacent AMB
project), the study intersections are expected to operate at a LOS of C or better with the following
mitigation measures:

Page 41
\ ~ Ub 2~1"
The above mitigation measures will reduce impacts related to longer northbound queues at the
intersection of~Golden Gate Drive/Dublin Boulevard that will occur as a result of this Project to a less
than significant level.
Additionally, due to the nature of the project, a Transit Oriented Development, and the close proximity
of the BART Station and other transit opportunities in the area, the proposed Project will encourage
the use of public transit for residents and employees in the area which will in turn reduce congestion
and air quality emissions that can typically be found in conjunction with traditional development that
occurs in outlying areas or developments which are not located next to transit or job opportunities.
b) Would the Project exceed, either individually or cumulatively, a LOS standard established by
the County CMA for designated road?
LS. The proposed project is consistent with the existing General Plan Land Use Designation of High-
Density Residential which permits 25.1 units or more per acre.
The Alameda County Congestion Management Agency (CMA) encourages Transit Oriented
Developments (TOD) in the County. The purpose of a TOD is to encourage the use of public transit,
bicycling or walking which will reduce the demand on roadways. The proposed project will accomplish
this by being located in close proximity to the new BART Station and transit hub as well as retail and
restaurant uses and jobs.
Additionally, as noted in the Analysis the only two intersections which will be significantly impacted
are not CMA designated roads and will still fall within the acceptable LOS once the project is
complete and the improvements included as mitigation measures have been constructed.
c) Would the Project result in a change in air traffic patterns?
NI. The proposed project would have no impact on air traffic patterns because it is not located near
any airport.
d) Would the project substantially increase hazards due to a design feature or incompatible use?
LS. Approval of the Project would result in the construction of a new project with a new internal
circulation system. The site plan has been reviewed by the Police Services Department and the
Public Works Department to ensure that no hazards exist.
e) Would the Project result in inadequate emergency access?
LS. The proposed Project has been reviewed with respect to emergency access by the City's Fire
Department and the Police Department. These Departments have determined that adequate access.
will be provided to the site by the project's two access points. .
f) Would the Project result in inadequate parking capacity?
LS/M. The Project proposes 493 parking stalls. The project plans indicate that a total of 450 parking
stalls will be located within the structure (secured parking), 44 parking stalls will be located along the
Initial Study/Mitigated Negative Declaration for Windstar
City of Dublin
July 2007

!~O D6 "2~2
internal driveway and 10 parking stalls will be located on St. Patrick Way (which are not included in
the total number of parking spaces because these 10 spaces are considered off-site parking spaces).
The following table provides information on the number of required parking stalls and the number of
proposed parking stalls.

As shown in Table 4 above, the Applicant has requested parking that is 123 parking stalls less than
. the Zoning Ordinance Standard. The Applicant is proposing 141 more restricted tenant/owner parking
spaces and 266 fewer unrestricted/guest parking stalls would otherwise be provided under the
Zoning Ordinance standard.
The project site will have an overall parking ratio of 1.59 parking stalls per unit (the Zoning Ordinance
standard is 2). In this case, the proposed parking is warranted due to the design of the project as a
Transit Oriented Development with a BART Station in close proximity. As discussed in the Triggering
Analysis, the typical parking ratio for Transit Oriented Developments in California is 1.41, which
includes resident and visitor parking. As noted in the Triggering Analysis, the Parking Generation
Manual, 3rd Edition, East Bay Transit Oriented Developments tend to have much lower parking
supply ratios. For example, the Pleasant Hill BART TOD has a ratio of 1.08 and the Alameda County
BART TOD has a ratio of 1.31. T JKM visited the Fruitvale Transit Village in Oakland, which is located
adjacent to the Fruitvale BART Station, to review current parking practices in the East Bay. Based on
this review, T JKM observed that the site, with a parking ratio of 1.31 spaces per unit, had adequate
parking spaces to serve the development. Additionally, the Dublin Transit Center TOD currently
permits a parking ratio of 1.5 spaces per unit.
The proposed number of guest parking stalls are significantly lower than what is typically required for
a residential development. The guest parking stalls will also be located outside of the secured
parking garage, on the internal driveway system. Once the new BART Station is open, these stalls
may be attractive for BART patrons to use for parking to avoid paying the parking fee at the BART
Station or when the lot is full. These spaces may also be attractive for residents to park in instead of
parking in the lot. In order to ensure that these parking spaces are limited to guest parking and to
discourage BART patrons from using these stalls during the day, the following mitigation measure
has been included to restrict parking to reduce impacts related to guest parking to a less than
significant level.
Mitigation Measure 5: Signage shall be installed on the internal driveway system
which states that the parking stalls are limited to two hour parking Monday through
Friday from 7 am to 5 pm.
The Triggering Analysis (Appendix B) includes a discussion of the proposed number of parking
spaces. In the Analysis, T JKM states that a parking ratio of 1.55 parking stalls would be adequate to
serve the residential development.

g) Would the Project conflict with adopted policies supporting public transit?
NI. As previously discussed, the proposed Project is a Transit Oriented Development which
encourages the use of public transit, bicycling and walking due to the availability of public transit in
the immediate area and through bicycle lanes and sidewalks in the area. The project furthers the
goals of the West Dublin BART Specific Plan by developing the parcel as a residenti?ll development
with a high density as recommended in the Specific Plan to facilitate efficient use of nearby public
transit opportunities. .
XVI. Utilities and Service Systems
The Project is consistent with the General Plan land use designation. The Project site is served by
the following service providers:
Sewage treatment and local water supply: Dublin San Ramon Services District and Alameda County
Flood Control and Water Conservation District, Zone 7.
Regional water supply and distribution: Alameda County Flood Control and Water Conservation
District, Zone 7
Storm drainage: City of Dublin/Alameda County Floor Control and Water Conservation District, Zone
7.
Proiect Impacts
a-g) Exceed wastewater treatment requirements of the RWQCB, require new or expanded water
or wastewater treatment facilities, require new storm drain facilities, require additional water supplies,
require new or expanded wastewater treatment facilities, or require new solid waste facilities?
LS. Potential impacts of the Transit Village project were addressed in the Transit Village SEIR and
the Negative Declaration for the West Dublin BART Specific Plan. Impacts addressed included
impacts to the wastewater and wastewater treatment and disposal system, water system, over
drafting of groundwater resources, additional water treatment plant capacity needs,. inducement of
substantial population growth as a result of an expanded water system, and need for additional water
storage facilities. The environmental analyses concluded that the project would incrementally
increase the need for these services, but to a less-than-significant level. Adequate resource supplies
and utility services are available to the project site, and no mitigation measures are required. Some
basic utility service fees, required of all construction within the City, may be required for connection to
systems and facilities.
The Dublin San Ramon Services District (DSRSD) has reviewed the proposed project and has noted
that there are enough water resources in the City to serve the project (please refer to the letter from
DSRSD included as Appendix B). .
Overall, no additional impacts to utilities and service systems are expected to occur as a result of this
Project.

xv. Mandatory Findings of Significance
a) 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 of 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?
LS. The preceding analysis indicates that the proposed project will not have a significant adverse
impact on overall environmental quality, including biological resources or cultural resources with the
implementation of mitigation measures included in the Extension Project EIR and the Transit Village
SEIR and the Negative Declaration for the Downtown Specific Plans.
b) Does the project have impacts that are individually limited, but cumulatively considerable?
("Cumulatively considerable" means that the incremental effects of a project are considerable when
viewed in connection with the effects of past projects, the effects of other current projects and the
effects of probable future projects).
LS/M. Although incremental increases in certain areas can be .expected as a result of constructing
this project, the project site lies within an area with an approved specific plan and the impacts of the
project were anticipated and mitigated. As identified in this Initial Study/Mitigated Negative
Declaration, the only significant issue identified is traffic and parking, which will be reduced to a less
than significant level with incorporation of the recommended mitigation measures.
c) Does the project have environmental effects which will cause substantial adverse effects on
human beings, either directly or indirectly?
LS. No such impacts have been discovered in the course of preparing this Initial Study.

Subject:
Windstar Development at Bart Transit Center - Water Demand
Dear Ms. Fraser:
Per your request, we have reviewed our water demand projections for the Windstar project in the Bart
Transit Center development area. Windstar has requested an increase in the number of permitted DUEs
for their project; increasing from 210 to 309 DUEs. The District is required to verify that the anticipated
increase in water demand can be met with District water supplies.
The District's planning staff looked into the possibility that the increase in DUEs for this project would
be offset by a decrease in the number of DUEs in other projects in the District's service area. We looked
into two projects that anticipate a decrease in DUEs from the original General Plan - Wallis Ranch and
Vargas in eastern Dublin. Attached is a spreadsheet showing the analysis. We found that the anticipated
decrease in the Wallis Ranch and Vargas developments will more than offset the anticipated increase in
water demand for the Windstar project by over 21,000 gallons per day. Therefore, there is sufficient
water supply for the District's service area to allow the increased water demand from the proposed
increase in DUEs iJ! the Windstar project. DSRSD will analyze the sizing of the potable water pipelines
in the locale for any required upsizes when w~ receive a set of proposed plans from the developer.
If you have any questions about these projections, please contact Stan Kolodzie of this office at (925)
875-2253. If you would like to see any background information for these projections Stan can also
provide you with that information.

Introduction and Summary
Introduction
This report presents the results ofTJKM's triggering analysis for the proposed West Dublin Bay Area
Rapid Transit (BART) Transit Village development in the City of Dublin, The study evaluates whether
the development is expected to trigger the following improvements:
I, Roadway modifications on Golden Gate Drive south of Dublin Boulevard.
. 2. Traffic signal at the intersection of Golden Gate Drive and 51. Patrick Way.
3. Eastbound right-tum lane on Dublin Boulevard at Golden Gate Drive.
The proposed project will consist of 309 residential condominium units, a ISO-room hotel, and 7,500
square feet of retail use. The units will initially be rented to the general public as residential apartment
units with possible future conversion to condominium units. The project will be located adjacent to
the future West Dublin I Pleasanton BART station, located in the median of Interstate 580 (1-580),
Primary vehicle access will occur from Golden Gate Drive and 51. Patrick Way. The project will
include a pedestrian connection to the future BART station. Figure I illustrates the project location
and its vicinity.
This study presents estimated trip generation of the proposed development and addresses potential
traffic impacts. Figure 2 shows the proposed site plan.
Summary
The proposed West Dublin BART Transit Village development is expected to generate a net total of
2,815 daily trips, including 188 trips during the am peak hour and 230 trips during the p.m. peak hour,
Under Existing Conditions, both study intersections (Dublin Boulevard I Golden Gate Drive and
51. Patrick Way I Golden Gate Drive) currently are operating at LOS A
Under Existing Plus Approved Project Conditions, both study intersections are expected to continue
operating acceptably at LOS A. with minor changes in v Ic ratios and average delay,
Under Existing Plus Approved Project Plus BART Transit Village Conditions, both study intersections
are expected to continue operating within acceptable City standards. In particular, service levels at
the 51. Patrick Way I Golden Gate Drive intersection is expected to be LOS C or better assuming the
following improvements:
. Realign the west leg to eliminate current "dog leg" condition. Stripe for a two-lane eastbound
approach.
. Install a stop sign on the eastbound approach to form a four-way stop-controlled intersection,
Under this scenario, the BART Transit Village development is not expected to trigger a traffic signal
I installation at the intersection of 51. Patrick Way and Golden Gate Drive.

The BART Transit Village development triggers the need for the following recommended
improvements:
. At the Dublin Boulevard / Golden Gate Drive intersection, extend the northbound left tum
storage by I 00 feet plus 60 feet of transition taper and the northbound right tum storage by
220 feet. The pavement striping should be revised accordingly. This mitigation will
accommodate the longer northbound queues expected with the project,
. To accommodate the lengthened northbound right tum lane, approximately 280 feet of
parking restriction will be required along Golden Gate Drive, This would eliminate about six
curb parking spaces along the east side of Golden Gate Drive between St. Patrick Way and
Dublin Boulevard See Figure I I fora sketch of the above recommendations.
. It is also proposed to widen the west side of Golden Gate Drive by six feet south of St.
Patrick Way to accommodate additional traffic. The widening offers an opportunity for
parking on both sides of Golden Gate Drive, and the addition of an exclusive northbound
right-tum lane at the Golden Gate Drive / St. Patrick Way intersection, Parking on the west
side of Golden Gate Drive may be used as a BART Transit drop off lane for taxis, BART
patrons and other Para transit vehicles. The above measures, if implemented, are expected
to alleviate southbound queuing during the am peak hour and northbound queuing during
the p.m. peak hour.
Based on 2000 HCM methodology, the existing eastbound right-tum queue length at the intersection
of Dublin Boulevard/Golden Gate Drive is approximately 210 feet during the pm peak hour, and the
eastbound approach operates at LOS B. The BART Transit Village development is expected to
increase the eastbound right-tum queue length by 110 feet from approximately 210 feet to
approximately 320 feet during the p.m. peak hour. The eastbound right-tum approach level of service
is expected to increase from LOS B to LOS C during the pm peak hour. Therefore, the project does
not trigger the need for an exclusive eastbound right-tum lane.

Analysis Methodology
Study Intersections
City staff approved the following two study intersections for this focused triggering analysis:
I, Dublin Boulevard I Golden Gate Drive (Signal Control)
2, St. Patrick Way I Golden Gate Drive (Four-Way Stop Control)
Study Roadway Segments
City staff also approved the following two study roadway segments for this focused triggering analysis:
I. Golden Gate Drive (between St. Patrick Way and Dublin Boulevard)
2, Golden Gate Drive (south of St. Patrick Way to the cui de sac)
The study intersections and project area for the proposed Transit Village Development and West
DublinlPleasanton BART station (also referred to collectively in this report as the BART Transit
Village) are shown in Figure I.
Scenarios
Three study scenarios are addressed in this study:
A. Existing Condltions- This scenario evaluates the study intersection based on existing
traffic counts and field surveys.
B. Existing plus Approved Pro;'ect Conditions - This scenario is similar to Existing
Conditions, but with the addition of traffic from an approved off-site commercial
development located northwest of the Dublin Boulevard I Amador Valley Plaza Road
intersection.
C Existing plus Approved Pro;'ect plus BART plus Transit Village Conditions- This scenario
is similar to Existing Plus Approved Project Conditions, but with the addition of traffic
from the proposed BART Transit Village.
level of Service Analysis Methodology
Level of service (LOS) is a qualitative description of intersection operations and is reported using an
A through F letter rating system to describe travel delay and congestion, Level of Service (LOS) A
indicates free flow conditions with little or no delay, while LOS F indicates jammed conditions with
excessive delays and long back-ups.
Signalized Intersections
TJKM evaluated operating conditions at the signalized study intersection using the Contra Costa
Transportation Authority level of Service (CCT A LOS) Operations methodology contained in
TRAFFIX software. Peak hour intersection conditions are reported as critical volume-to-capacity (vie)
ratios with corresponding levels of service (LOS). Appendix A contains a detailed description of the
methodology.

15~ Db Z~7-
Unsignalized Intersections
LOS at the unsignalized study intersection was evaluated using the 2000 Highway Capacity Manual
(HCM) Unsignalized Intersections methodology for STOP-controlled intersections. The method ranks
level of service on an A though F scale similar to that used for signalized intersections, using average
delay in seconds per vehicle for stopping movements as its measure of effectiveness. The
methodology is also described in detail in Appendix A.
Significant Impact Criteria
An impact to a study intersection would,be significant if an intersection previously mitigated to an
acceptable level would now exceed acceptable levels. The City of Dublin General Plan Circulation
Element and Scenic Highways Guiding Policy F standards require that the City strive for LOS D at
intersections. Therefore, any study intersections exceeding LOS D are impacted and will be
considered for mitigation.
According to the City's guidelines, the General Plan maximum average daily traffic (ADT) threshold
standard for Class II Collector Streets (designed to accommodate two lanes of traffic) is 12,000
vehicles per day (vpd). ADT thresholds are used to detennine lane requirements on a given roadway.

Existing Conditions
Existing Roadway Network
Dublin Boulevardis an east-west arterial roadway providing local and regional access to the City of
Dublin. It consists of six lanes in the study area. The roadway runs approximately parallel with
Interstate 580 (1-580) and has partial interchange connections with Interstate 680 (1-680) in the study
area.
Golden Gate Drive is a north-south local collector roadway that will connect to the proposed BART
transit village. It currently consists of two travel lanes with curb parking on both sides,
Existing Traffic Volumes and lane Geometry
Baymetrics collected existing weekday a,m. and p.m. peak hour vehicle turning movement counts at
both study intersections in January 2007. The traffic count sheets are included in Appendix B.
Figure 3 illustrates the existing peak hour turning movement volumes at the two study intersections,
Figure 4 shows the existing intersection lane geometry and traffic controls at the two. study
intersections.
Intersection level of Service Analysis - Existing Conditions
Table I below summarizes peak hour levels of service at the study intersections under Existing
Conditions, LOS worksheets are provided in Appendix C. Under Existing Conditions, both study
intersections currently are operating at LOS A. which is within acceptable City standards.

Roadway Segment Evaluation - Existing Conditions
According to Average Daily Traffic (ADT) data provided by the City, approximately 5, I 00 vehicles per
day (vpd) currently use Golden Gate Drive. The ADT counts were conducted in June 2006. '
Appendix B contains a Traffic Flow Map of the City of Dublin. Based on the City's ADT threshold
criteria, Golden Gate Drive is adequately serving existing traffic since traffic is significantly less than the
City's threshold of 12,000 vpd for a two-lane road:Nay,

Existing plus Approved Project Conditions
This scenario is similar to Existing Conditions, but with the addition of traffic from an approved off-site
commercial development located northwest of the Dublin Boulevard/Amador Valley Plaza Road
intersection.
Approved Project Description
The approved 17,500-square foot off-site commercial project is to consist of 40 percent retail uses
(7,000 square feet) and 60 percent restaurant uses (10,500 square feet). It is proposed to be located
at the northwest comer of the Dublin Boulevard / Amador Plaza Road intersection in the City of
Dublin.
Approved Project Trip Generation
Table II shows trip generation estimates for the approved project. The off-site commercial
development is expected to generate approximately 1,636 daily trips, with 128 trips occurring during
the a.m. peak hour and 141 trips occurring during the p.m peak hour.

Approved Project Trip Distribution and Assignment
Trip distribution is a process that determines in what proportion vehicles would travel between a
given project site and various destinations outside a given study area, The process of trip assignment
determines the various routes that vehicles would take from the project site to each destination using
the estimated trip distribution. '
TJKM determined the approved project trip distribution based on consultation with City staff and
knowledge of the study area. The approved project trip distribution is assumed to be as follows:
. 15 percent to/from 1-680 South
. 15 percent to/from Dublin Boulevard East,
. 10 percent to/from 1-680 North
. 10 percent to/from 1-580 East
. 10 percent to/from Foothill Road South
. 10 percent to/from Amador Valley Boulevard East
. I 0 percent to/from Amador Plaza Road North
. 5 percent to/from San Ramon Road North
· 5 percent to/from 1-580 West
. 5 percent to/from Golden Gate Drive South
· 5 percent to/from Dublin Boulevard West

Roadway Segment Evaluation - Existing Plus Approved Project Conditions
Typically, p,m. peak hour counts are approximately ten percent 'of average daily traffic (ADT) counts,
As shown on Figure 5, five percent of approved off-site Commercial Project trips are expected to use
Golden Gate Drive to access BART parking during peak commute hours, Eighty-two daily trips are
expected to be made tolfrom the off-site commercial and BART station area. Therefore under
Existing Plus Approved Project Conditions, traffic volumes on Golden Gate Drive are expected to be
approximately (5, I 00 + 82 = 5,182) vpd
Based on the City's ADT threshold criteria, Golden Gate Drive is expected to adequately serve
Existing Plus Approved Project traffic since 5,182 vpd is significantly less than the City's threshold of
I 2,000 vpd for a two-lane roadway,
Since a low amount of Approved Project trips are expected on Golden Gate Drive under Existing
Plus Approved Project Conditions, the level of service, delay and queue length results are essentially
the same as that for Existing Conditions,

I Existing plus Approved Project plus BART Transit Village Conditions
I
This scenario is similar to Existing Plus Approved Project Conditions, but with the addition of traffic
from the proposed BART Transit Village, The.Dublin portion of the BART station includes a
713-stall parking garage.
Proposed Project Description
The proposed BART Transit Village project is proposed to be located at the southwest comer of the
St Patrick Way / Golden Gate Drive intersection in the City of Dublin, This development will consist
of 309 residential condominium units, a ISO-room hotel, and 7,500 square feet o(retail use. The site
location is adjacent to 1-580 and the future West Dublin / Pleasanton BART station. Primary vehicle
access will occur from Golden Gate Drive and St. Patrick Way. The project will include a pedestrian
connection to the future BART station located in the median of 1-580.
Proposed Trip Generation
Table IV shows trip generation estimates for the proposed BART Transit Village, TJKM was guided by
the traffic study for the approved Supplemental Environmental Impact Report for the West Dublin /
Pleasanton BART station, conducted in 2000.
Trip generation for the BART Transit Village project was estimated based on rates provided in the
Trip Generation Manual, 7th Edition published by the Institute of Transportation Engineers (ITE), The
proposed BART Transit Village project is expected to generate a net total of 2,815 daily trips with
188 trips during the am peak hour and 230 trips during the p.m. peak hour,
The above net BART Transit Village project trips include a residential trip reduction of 30 percent.
A University of Califomia at Berkeley study included data collected near BART stations in the East Bay
(Cervero, 1993). The study concluded that commute ridership ranged between 28 and 41 percent
for residences within one-third of a mile of a BART station. Based on this study and as a conservative
analysis, the ITE rates were reduced by 30 percent for the residential development, resulting in the net
trips described above. No separate reductions were made for the retail or hotel developments.
Trip generation for the BART station is taken from a 2000 TJKM study on the same'site, It is also
shown in Table IV.

Proposed Project and BART Trip Distribution. and Assignment
TJKM determined the proposed BART Transit Village trip distribution based on the BART EIR, Trip
distributions were developed separately for the residential, hotel, and retail compo~ents of the project
and are shown in Figure 7.
The residential distribution is assumed to be as follows:
. 39 percent to/from 1-680 South
. 10 percent to/from Dublin Boulevard East
. 14 percent to/from 1-680 North
. 5 percent to/from 1-580 East

TJKM additionally estimated home-based trip distribution to the future West Dublin / Pleasanton
BART station, as shown in Figure 8. Home-based trips are BART riders who live near the proposed
station. Distribution for these trips is assumed to be as follows:
. 45 percent to/from 1-680 North
. 20 percent to/from San Ramon Road North
. 15 percent to/from Village Parkway North
. 5 percent to/from Dublin Boulevard West
. 5 percent to/from Starward Drive North
. 5 percent to/from Donohue Drive North
. 5 percent to/from Amador Valley Boulevard East
The proposed project and BART trips were assigned to the local street network according to the
above trip distributions. The resulting tuming movement volumes under Existing Plus Approved
Project Plus BART Transit Village Conditions are shown in Figure 9. It should be noted that BART
traffic to and from locations south of 1-580 is assumed to use the BART parking lot located in
Pleasanton and therefore will not utilize the study intersections,

~assumed unde' this s;enario that the St Patrick Way I Golden Gate Drive intersection will be a
I four~way stop-controlled intersection, with a realigned, two-lane eastbound approach. The
I northbound approach lane configuration was modified to in. c1ude a shared through left turn lane and
an exclusive right-turn lane to determine if it offers any benefit in terms of intersection delay and
I queue reduction. Figure I 0 shows the expected lane geometry and traffic controls under this scenario.
TJKM also explored the possibility of removing stop signs on the northbound and southbound
approaches, leaving only the eastbound and westbound approaches with stop control (i.e" two-way
stop control). Removing the stop. signs is expected to deteriorate service levels, particularly for the
westbound approach during am, peak hour. Therefore, this mitigation is not recommended.
Widen the west side of Golden Gate Drive by six feet south of St. Patrick Way to accommodate
additional1raffic. The widening offers an opportunity for parking on both sides of Golden Gate Drive,
and the above-mentioned northbound right-turn lane, The above measures, if implemented, are
expected to alleviate southbound queuing during the a.m. peak hour and northbound queuing during
the p.m. peak hour. A detailed description of striping on Golden Gate is included under the Parking
Access and Circulation section of this traffic report.
Appendix F contains additional LOS worksheets for the analysis of Golden Gate Drive/St. Patrick Way
with two-way stop control and the following two options for the northbound approach:
. Single lane approach,
. One shared through-left turn lane and one right turn lane.
The second option is expected to operate better than the single lane (exiting geometry) option,
TJKM also examined the need for a traffic signal at the St. Patrick Way/Golden Gate Drive
intersection. Based on this analysis, a traffic signal is not warranted under any of the scenarios, With
four-way stop control in place, the intersection should operate acceptably from both capacity and
safety standpoints. It appears that a traffic signal may be needed at this intersection when St. Patrick
Way is extended westward to connect with Regional Street.
Intersection Mitigation (Dublin Boulevard at Golden Gate Drive)
Longer turning movement queues are expected with the proposed BART Transit Village at the Dublin
Boulevard / Golden Gate Drive intersection, The CCT A methodology does not calculate queue
lengths. Therefore the Highway Capacity Manua/ 2000 methodology was used to calculate queue
lengths. Based on approach traffic volumes, p.rn. peak hour queue lengths at the intersection are
expected to be longer than that for a.m. peak hour.
The following results were obtained for the p.m. peak hour queue lengths and LOS:
. Northbound right-turn - LOS C with approximately 286 feet queue length
. Northbound left-turn - LOS C with approximately 161 feet queue length
. Eastbound right-turn - LOS C with approximately 320 feet queue length
Appendix F contains the queuing data worksheets.
Based on ~he expected queue lengths and approach level of service (LOS q, an exclusive eastbound
right-turn lane is not required at Dublin Boulevard at Golden Gate Drive. However, the storage

lengths for the northbound left-turn and right-turn approaches will need to be modified to
accommodate additional queues.
TJKM proposes the following mitigation measures to accommodate the additional queues, which are
shown in Figure I I:
. Increase the northbound left turn storage by 100 feet (from approximately 60 feet to I 60
feet) plus 60 feet of transition taper. Revise striping as shown,
. Increase the northbound right turn storage by 220 feet (from approximately 60 feet to 280
feet). Revise striping as shown.
. To accommodate the lengthened northbound right turn lane, approximately 280 feet of
parking restriction will be required along Golden Gate Drive, This would eliminate about six
curb parking spaces along the east side of Golden Gate Drive between St. Patrick Way and
Dublin Boulevard,
Roadway Segment Evaluation - Existing Plus Approved Project Plus BART Transit Village
Conditions
An ADT of approximately 8,860 vpd is expected on Golden Gate Drive under Existing Plus
Approved Project Plus BART Transit Village Conditions, Based on the City's ADT threshold criteria,
existing Golden Gate Drive geometry is expected to adequately serve this traffic.
Golden Gate Dn've (between St. Patrick Way and Dublin Boulevard)
Under Existing Plus Approved Project Plus BART Transit Village Conditions, approximately
312 vph and 248 vph are expected on southbound Golden Gate Drive during the a.m. peak hour and
p,m, peak hour, respectively.
The southbound approach to the intersection of Golden Gate Drive/St. Patrick Way level of service is
LOS C, with an average delay of approximately 15,7 sec/veh, and a queue length of approximately
35 feet during the a.m. peak hour, The southbound approach to the intersection level of service is
LOS B, with an average delay of approximately 135 sec/veh, and a queue length of approximately
25 feet during the pm peak hour,
Adpitionally, approximately 223 vph and 579 vph are expected on northbound Golden Gate Drive
during the a.m. peak hour and p,m. peak hour, respectively,
Golden Gate Dn've (south of St Patrick Way to the Cui de sac)
Under Existing Plus Approved Project Plus BART Transit Village Conditions, approximately
227 vph and 445 vph are expected on northbound Golden Gate Drive during the a,m, peak hour and
p,m. peak hour, respectively.
The northbound approach to the intersection of Golden Gate Drive/St. Patrick Way has an average
delay of approximately 145 seclveh, and queue length of approximately 30 feet during the a,m. peak
hour. The average delay is approximately 29.2 seclveh, and the queue length is approximately
100 feet for the northbound approach during the p.m. peak hour,
Additionally, approximately 469 vph and 241 vph are expected on southbound Golden Gate Drivel
St. Patrick Way during the am peak hour and pm peak hour, respectively,

Project Circulation and Parking
Figure 12 shows a schematic of the proposed project's site access, circulation and parking, Primary
vehicle access will occur from Golden Gate Drive and St Patrick Way. The residential basement
parking would be accessed via two driveway ramps.
Residential Parking
The project sponsor proposes to install 301 residential garage parking stalls at the basement level,
134 residential garage stalls at the street level, and 43 guest parking stalls along the driveways. This
totals 478 stalls with a parking supply per residential unit ratio of 1.55. According to the City of
Dublin parking code, two parking stalls are needed for each residential unit to meet peak parking
demand that typically occurs between the hours of midnight to 5:00 a.m. Therefore the proposed
309 condominium units require approximately 618 stalls. The City's parking code requirement is
140 stalls more than the 478 proposed spaces.
However, according to recent parking studies for Califomia Transit Oriented Developments (TODs),
parking supply levels are somewhat less than typical levels in the cities in which those TODs are
located, The average parking supply per unit is 1.41, including visitor parking. This is approximately
10 percent less than what the project applicant proposes, Additionally, according to the Parking
Generation Manual. 3rd Edition published by the Institute of Transportation Engineers (ITE), the
average peak period parking demand for residential condominiums is 1.46 vehicles per dwelling unit
Other East Bay Area TODshave much lower parking supply ratios. For example, a Pleasant Hill
BART TOD has a ratio ofl ,08 and Alameda County BART TOD has a ratio of 1.31,
TJKM visited a peer site, the Fruitvale T ran.sit Village in Oakland, to leam about current TOD parking
practices in the East Bay Area, The TOD is adjacent to the Fruitvale BART Station, Currently, all
residential units are rented out to the general public and there is privately operated on-site parking.
Residents who want to use the onsite parking facility are required to pay a $70 monthly fee per
parking space, The parking fee and pqrking supply effectively regulate residential vehicle ownership.
This parking supply ratio is 1.31 spaces per l:lnit
Based on the above experience, it is reasonable to expect that the proposed parking supply ratio of
1.55 spaces per residential unit will adequately serve the BART Transit Village development
However, TJKM recommends residential parking be monitored to see if future consideration should
be made to accommodate limited ovemight residential parking in the BART parking garage.
Hotel Parking
The proposed ISO-room hotel will have a limited use banquet facility and a restaurant with
160 parking stalls. Primary access to the Hotel and Retail will occur via Golden Gate Drive and a
shared driveway that separates the hotel and retail from the residential component of the mixed-use
development Based on ITE rates, a ISO-room hotel is expected to require approximately 137
parking spaces using an average peak period parking demand ratio of 0,91 vehicles per room. The
proposed supply of 160 spaces for the hotel exceeds this requirement
However, based on ITE studies on similar hotel sites, the average parking supply ratio is 1.3 spaces per
room. There are ongoing discussions by stakeholders and BART for an opportunity to utilize the
BART Parking garage currently being constructed for overflow hotel guest parking, Hotel parking
demand is at its peak between about 8:00 p.m. and 7:00 a.m., when BART parking demand is reduced.

Additionally, it is expected that some motorists might use the hotel retail parking lot to pick up
passengers if Golden Gate Drive is congested with parking around the BART Parking garage. Since
this is an off peak parking demand for the hotel it is not expected to impact the parking supply for the
hotel.
On-street Golden Gate On've Parking
\
As shown in Figure 12, on street parking for the project will be allowed on Golden Gate Drive. The
proposed improvements along Golden Gate Drive will eliminate approximately six curb parking
spaces along the east side of Golden Gate Drive between St Patrick Way and Dublin Boulevard to
accommodate northbound right-turn movements at the intersection of Dublin Boulevard I Golden
Gate Drive, Also, approximately two curb parking spaces will be eliminated along the west side of
Golden Gate Drive south of the intersection of Golden Gate Drive I St. Patrick Way to accommodate
convenient westbound left-turns and improve sight distance for eastbound right-turning vehicles at the
intersection. Additionally, five curb parking spaces will be eliminated with the provision of an exclusive
100 feet northbound right-turn lane at the intersection of Golden Gate Drive and St Patrick Way.
The City of Dublin could consider the use of short term parking (such as 24 minutes) for the on
street stalls south of St Patrick Way so they will be available for dropping off and picking BART riders
during peak periods.
Circulation Around BART Parking Structure
TJKM understands that the north aisle located south of the parking garage will be used for both as a
bus staging area and for "kiss and ride" purposes and the south aisle located south ofthe parking
garage driveway will be reserved for bus drop offs. If instead, the north aisle were only used for "kiss
and ride" and the south aisle for both bus drop off and staging area, buses that have been staged
would no longer need to circulate around the parking structure to reach the south aisle. If this pattern
is not changed, it appears that the traffic circle island radius is too large to accommodate bus
maneuvers.
TJKM recommends the installation of in pavement lighted crosswalks at the intersection of Golden
Gate DrivelBART Parking driveway and south of the parking garage to enhance pedestrian safety,
See Figure I 2 for the above recommendations,
Golden Gate On've Traffic Circle
It is recommended to install a traffic circle island at the Golden Gate Drive cui de sac for the following
two reasons:
I, Firstly, most BART patrons are typically in a hu~ry to catch trains during peak commute periods,
The traffic circle island and to on street parking along Golden Gate Drive create a visual channel
that is expected to be effective in calming traffic speeds entering the BART parking garage.
2. Secondly, without a traffic circle, motorists are likely to make u-turns along the segment of Golden
Gate Drive, south of Saint Patrick Way after pick-ups and drop offs. The u-turns may impact
traffic operations along Golden Gate Drive particularly at the entrance and exit driveways of the
BART parking garage facility and at the entrance to the proposed West Dubl,in BART Transit
Village development The traffic circle island is expected to facilitate an orderly traffic circulation
along Golden Gate Drive after pick-ups and drop offs without the need to enter the BART
parking garage.

allow convenient bus circulation within a constrained right of way,

Conclusions And Recommendations
TJKM has reached the following conclusions regarding the proposed West Dublin BART Transit
Village Project in the City of Dublin.
The proposed West Dublin BART Transit Village project is expected to generate a net total of
2,815 daily trips, including 188 trips during the am peak hour and 230 trips during the p,m. peak hour.
Under Existing Conditions, both study intersections currently are operating at LOS A.
Under Existing Plus Approved Project Conditions, both study intersections are expected to continue
operating acceptably at LOS A. with minor changes in v Ic ratios and average delay.
Under ExiSting Plus Approved Project Plus BART Transit Village Conditions, both study intersections
are expected to continue operating within acceptable City standards, In particular, service levels at
the St. Patrick Way I Golden Gate Drive intersection are expected to be LOS C or better assuming
the following improvements:
. Realign west leg to eliminate current "dog leg" condition. Stripe for a single-lane eastbound
approach.
. Install stop sign on eastbound approach to form four-way stop-controlled intersection.
At the Dublin Boulevard I Golden Gate Drive intersection, longer northbound turning movement
queues are expected with the project. TJKM recommends the following mitigation:
. Increase northbound left turn storage by I OOJeet (from approximately 60 feet to 160 feet)
plus 60 feet of transition taper and revise striping accordingly,
. Increase northbound right turn storage by 220 feet (from approximately 60 feet to 280 feet)
and revise striping accordingly.
. To accommodate the lengthened northbound right turn lane, approximately 280 feet of
parking restriction will be required along Golden Gate Drive. This would eliminate about six
curb parking spaces along the east side of Golden Gate Drive between St. Patrick Way and
Dublin Boulevard.
The BART Transit Village development is expected to increase the eastbound right-turn queue length
by 1 10 feet from approximately 210 feet to approximately 320 feet during the pm peak hour. The
eastbound right-turn approach level of service is expected to increase from LOS B to LOS C during
the p,m. peak hour. Based on the level of service results, it is reasonable to conclude that the BART
Transit Village development is not expected to trigger the need for an exclusive eastbound right-turn
lane under near term traffic conditions.
The project sponsor proposes to install 30 I residential garage parking stalls at the basement level,
134 residential garage stalls at the street level, and 43 guest parking stalls along the -driveways totaling
478 stalls, with a parking supply per residential unit ratio of I :55. This is expected to be adequate for
the BART Transit Village development.

Based on ITE rates, a ISO-room hotel is expected to require approximately 137 parking spaces using
an average peak period parking demand ratio of 0,91 vehicles per room. This amount is less than the
proposed 160 space parking supply for the hotel. Stakeholders and BART are encouraged"to seek
opportunities to utilize the BART Parking garage currently being constructed for overflow hotel guest
parking,
Based on Auto tum template analysis, the northeastem curb retum located at the intersection of the
BART driveway and Golden Gate Drive will need to be modified (minimum 25 feet recommended)

Appendix A - level of Service Analysis Methodology
\ <6 3~ 2~Z,
APPENDIX ,A
LEVEL OF SERVICE
The description and procedures for calculating capacity and level of service are found in Transportation
Research Board, Highway Capacity Manual 2000. Highway Capacity Manual 2000 represents the latest
research on capacity and quality of service for transportation facilities.
Quality of service requires quantitative measures to characterize operational conditions within a traffic
stream. Level of service is a quality measure describing operational conditions within a traffic stream,
generally in terms of such service measures as speed and travel time, freedom to maneuver, traffic
interruptions, and comfort and convenience.
Six levels of service are defined for each type of facility that has analysis procedures available. Letters
designate each level, from A to F, with level-of-service A representing the best operating conditions and
.level-of-service F the worst. Each level of service represents a range of operating conditions and the
driver's perception of these conditions. Safety is not included in the measures that establish service
levels.
A general description of service levels for various types of facilities is shown in Table A-I

Urban Streets
The term "urban streets" refers to urban arterials and collectors, including those in downtow~ areas.
Arterial streets are roads that primarily serve longer through trips. However, providing access to abutting
commercial and residential land uses is also an important function of arterials.
A-I
l <g4 ~ 2<gZ.
Collector streets provide both land access and traffic circulation within residential, commercial and
industrial areas. Their access function is more important than that of arterials, and unlike arterials their
operation is not always dominated by traffic signals.
Downtown streets are signalized facilities that often resemble arterials. They not only move through
traffic but also provide access to local businesses for passenger cars, transit buses, and trucks. Pedestrian
conflicts and lane obstructions created by stopping or standing buses, trucks and parking vehicles that
cause turbulence in the traffic, flow are typical of downtown streets.
The speed of vehicles on urban streets is influenced by three main factors, street environment, interaction
among vehicles and traffic control. As a result, these factors also affect quality of serVice.
The street environment includes the geometric characteristics of the facility, the character of roadside
activity and adjacent land uses. Thus, the environment reflects the number and width of lanes, type of
median, driveway density, spacing between signalized intersections, existence of parking, level of
pedestrian activity and speed limit.
The interaction among vehicles is determined by traffic density, the proportion of trucks and buses, and
turning movements. This interaction affects the operation of vehicles at intersections and, to a lesser
extent, between signals.
Traffic control (including signals and signs) forces a portion of all vehicles to slow or stop. The delays
and speed changes caused by traffic control devices reduce vehicle speeds, however, such controls are
needed to establish right-of-way.
The average travel speed for through vehicles along an urban street is the determinant of the operating
level of service. The travel speed along a segment, section or entire length of an urban street is dependent
on the running speed between signalized intersections and the amount of control delay incurred at
signalized intersections.
Level-of-service A describes primarily free-flow operations. Vehicles are completely unimpeded in their
ability to maneuver within the traffic stream. Control delay at signalized intersections is minimal.
Level-of-service B describes reasonably unimpeded operations. The ability to maneuver within the traffic
stream is only slightly restricted, and control delays at signalized intersections are not significant.
Level-of-service C describes stable operations, however, ability to maneuver and change lanes in
midblock location may be more restricted than at level-of-service B. Longer queues, adverse signal
coordination, or both may contribute to lower travel speeds.
Level-of-service D borders on a range in which in which small increases in flow may cause substantial
increases in delay and decreases in travel speed. Level-of-service D may be due to adverse signal
progression, inappropriate signal timing, high volumes, or a combination of these factors.
Level-of-service E is characterized by significant delays and lower travel speeds. Such operations are
caused by a combination of adverse progression, high signal density, high volumes, extensive delays at
critical intersections, and inappropriate signal timing.
Level-of-service F is characterized by urban street flow at extremely low speeds. Intersection congestion
is likely at critical signalized locations, with high delays, high volumes, and extensive queuing.
The methodology to determine level of service stratifies urban streets into four classifications. The
classifications are complex, and are related to functional and design categories. Table A-II describes the
functional and design categories, while Table A-Ill relates these to the urban street classification.
\g5Vb2~-z.-
Once classified, the urban street is divided into segments for analysis. An urban street segment is a one-
way section of street encompassing a series of blocks or links terminating at a signalized intersection.
Adjacent segments of urban streets may be combined to form larger street sections, provided that the
segments have similar demand flows and characteristics.
Levels of service are related to the average travel speed of vehicles along the urban street segment or
section.
Travel times for existing conditions are obtained by field measurements. The maximum-car technique is
used. The vehicle is driven at the posted speed limit unless ~mpeded by actual traffic conditions. In the
maximum-car technique, a safe level of vehicular operation is maintained by observing proper following
distances and by changing speeds at reasonable rates of acceleration and deceleration. The maximum-car
technique provides the best base for measuring traffic performance.
An observer records the travel time and locations and duration of delay. The beginning and ending points
are the centers of intersections. Delays include times waiting in queues at signalized intersections. The
travel speed is determined by dividing the length of the segment by the travel time. Once the travel speed
on the arterial is determined, the level of service is found by comparing the speed to the criteria in Table
A-IV. Level-of-service criteria vary for the different classifications of urban street, reflecting differences
in driver expectations.

Interrupted Flow
One of the more important elements limiting, and often interrupting the flow of traffic on a highway is the
intersection. Flow on an interrupted facility is usually dominated by points of fixed operation such as
traffic signals, stop and yield signs. These all operate quite differently and have differing impacts on
overall flow.
Signalized Intersections
The capacity of a highway is related primarily to the geometric characteristics of the facility, as well as to
the composition of the traffic stream on the facility. Geometries are a fixed, or non-varying, characteristic
of a facility.
At the signalized intersection, an additional element is introduced into the concept of capacity: time
allocation. A traffic signal essentially allocates time among conflicting traffic movements seeking use of
the same physical space. The way in which time is allocated has a significant impact on the operation of
the intersection and on the capacity of the intersection and its approaches.
l~ 1 an 2<g z..
Level of service for signalized intersections is defined in terms of control delay, which is a measure of
driver discomfort, frustration; fuel consumption, and increased travel time. The delay experienced by a
motorist is made up of a number off actors that relate to control, traffic and incidents. Total delay is the
difference between the travel time actually experienced and the reference travel time that would result
during base conditions, i. e., in the absence of traffic control, geometric delay, any incidents, and any
other vehicles. Specifically, level of service criteria for traffic signals are stated in terms of average
control delay per vehicle, typically for a 15-minute analysis period. Delay is a complex measure and
depends on a number of variables, including the quality of progression, the cycle length, the ratio of green
time to cycle length and the volume to capacity ratio for the lane group.
For each intersection analyzed the average control delay per vehicle per approach is determined for the
peak hour. A weighted average of control delay per vehicle is then determined for the intersection.
A level of service designation is given to the control delay to better describe the level of operation.
A description oflevels of service for signalized intersections can be found in Table A-V

Control delay greater than 20 and up to 35 seconds per vehicle. Higher delays are caused
by fair progression or longer cycle lengths or both, Individual cycle failures may begin to

The use of control delay, which may also be referred to as signal delay, was introduced in the 1997 update
to the Highway Capacity Manual, and represents a departure from previous updates. In the third edition,
published in 1985 and the 1994 update to the third edition, delay only included stopped delay. Thus, the
level of service criteria listed in Table A-V differs from earlier criteria.
Un signalized Intersections
The current procedures on unsignalized intersections were first introduced in the 1997 update to the
Highway Capacity'Manual and represent a revision of the methodology published in the 1994 update to
the 1985 Highway Capacity Manual. The revised procedures use control delay as a measure of
effectiveness to determine level of service. Delay is a measure of driver discomfort, frustration, fuel

consumption, and increased travel time. The delay experienced by a motorist is made up of a nwnber of
factors that relate to control, traffic and incidents. Total delay is the difference between the travel time
actually experienced and the reference travel time that would result during base conditions, i. e., in the
absence of traffic control, geometric delay, any incidents, and any other vehicles. Control delay is the
increased time oftrave1 for a vehicle approaching and passing through an unsignalized intersection,
compared with a free-flow vehicle if it were not required to slow or stop at the intersection.
Two-Way Stop Controlled Intersections
Two-way stop controlled intersections in which stop signs are used to assign the right-of-way, are the
most prevalent type of intersection in the United States. At two-way stop-controlled intersections the
stop-controlled approaches are referred as the minor street approaches and can be either public streets or
private driveways. The approaches that are not controlled by stop signs are referred to as the major street
approaches.
The capacity of movements subject to delay are detennined using the "critical gap" method of capacity
analysis. Expected average control delay based on movement volume and movement capacity is
calculated. A level of service designation is given to the expected control delay for each minor
movement. Level of service is not defined for the intersection as a whole. Control delay is the increased
tim~ of travel for a vehicle approaching and passing through a stop-controlled intersection, compared with
a free-flow vehicle if it were not required to slow or stop at the intersection. A description of levels of
service for
twocway stop-controlled intersections is found in Table A-VI.

7 LEVEL-OF-SERVICE
METHODOLOGY FOR
INTERSECTIONS
Level of service is the primary measure of effectiveness to be used in evaluating traffic
operations at signalized intersections. All participating jurisdictions must use the
adopted LOS methodology in d~veloping their General Plan Growth Management
Element, monitoring LOS at Reporting Intersections, and preparing traffic impact stud-
ies, A jurisdiction may undertake additional analysis if desired. An example of such a
supplemental analysis of delay is described in Section 7.3. At a minimum, however, a
local jurisdiction must use the Authority's LOS method to comply with the GMP. If a
jurisdiction elects to use another method for calculating LOS, it must be used in addi-
tion to the adopted methodology described in this section.
Action Plans for Routes of Regional Significance may also include LOS as a quantifiable
measure of effectiveness for Regional Routes. The Authority's adopted LOS methodol-
ogy shall also be used for these analyses, as well as for eMP-related studies.
The LOS methodology may be used to evaluate existing levels of service at signalized
intersections using actual traffic count data. or future levels of service using forecast
traffic projections, The adopted method is similar to the Circular 212 Plannjng Method
except that through movement capacity has been increased from 1.500 vehicles per
hour to 1,800 vehicles per hour, Level of service is calculated by critical movement
with lower capacities assumed for turning movements.
7.1 Saturation Flow Rates
The saturation flow rate is the basis for determining the capacity of an intersection. It
represents the maximum number of vehicles that can pass through an intersection un- ,
der prevailing traffic conditions. The Authority has modified the Circular 212 Opera-
tions and Design Method by assuming a saturation flow rate of 1,800 vehicles per hour
(rather than 1,500 vehicles per hour),
Final Technical Procedures Update - 19 July 2006

Technical Procedures Update
Saturation flow rates were measured at four intersections in Contra Costa County in
February, 1990 to verify the appropriateness of this saturation flow rate, The method
for collecting saturation flow rate data described in the 1985 Highway Capacity Man-
ual (HCM) was used. The results are summarized in Table 7. Considerable variation in
saturation flow rates were observed at each intersection, The data suggested that the
operations and design capacities based on the 1,800 vehicles per hour saturation flow
rate are frequently achieved within Contra Costa County.

As indicated in Table 7. the saturation flow rates varied by movement type. Exclusive
left-turn saturation flow rates were approximately 10 percent less than those for
through lanes. Saturation flow rates for shared left and through lanes were 18 percent
lower than for through lanes, Sufficient data was not collected to provide statistical ac-
curacy for these averages. They were consistent. however, with the passenger car
equivalent (PCE) values adjustments provided in Circular 212.

7.2 Optional Capacity Reduction
The effect of vehicle mix, intersection geometrics and other factors on intersection ca-
pacity is well documented. These factors, however, are not considered directly in the
Circular 212 Planning Methodology. This was why a lower capacity (1,500 vph) was
originally selected for use in Circular 212,
The Authority methodology, which uses a .higher capacity (1.800 vph), may underesti-
mate existing or future congestion at some locations. The reductions in the capacities
provided in Table 8 are therefore optional. provided that measurement of saturation
flow rates at those locations justify the lower capacities. Once an intersection's capacity
is reduced. it cannot be increased unless intersection geometrics are improved and
higher saturation flow rates have been measured in the field. Under no circumstances
can a signalized intersection capacity above 1,800 vph be used under the Authority
methodology. Saturation flow rates must be measured using the technique described in
Chapter 9, Appendix IV of the 1985 HCM. (A copy is provided in Appendix A of these
Technical Procedures).
The saturation flow rates must be adjusted to establish the capacity for the traffic
movement considered. Adjustment of the saturation flow rates should be performed as
described in equation 9-1 of the 1985 HCM:
e,=s,x(K)

Where (for lane group or approach i):
'c, = capacity in vehicles per hour
Sj = saturation flow rate in vehicles per hour
g = effective green time in seconds
C = intersection cycle length in seconds
7.3 Supplemental Analysis of Delay
Because the Authority's LOS method applies fixed critical lane volumes uniformly
throughout the county, the method may underestimate congestion at locations with
poor geometrics (older intersections with poor turning radii and small approach
widths). or overestimate congestion at locations with excellent geometries (newer inter-

sections with ideal conditions) and aggressive drivers. The selected method may not
identify locations where severe congestion is limited to a single intersection approach,
nor does it reflect significant peaking and congestion within the peak hour.
To address these shortcomings. the following supplemental analyses may be performed
in addition to using the Authority's method to identify congested locations:
1. Field measurement of delay on the congested approach or full intersection can
be collected using the methodology described in the most recent version of the
HCM or Appendix A. Exhibit 15-2 of the 2000 HCM, The measured delay
should be compared with those provided in the most current version of the
HCM.
2. Synchro@ or similar software may be used in operations analyses to estimate
vehicle delay and LOS based upo~ delay.
The summary of intersection levels of service should be supplemented to reflect the re-
sults of the delay analyses when significant variations are found.
7.4 Level-af-Service Calculation Method
Signalized intersection levels of service should be calculated using the LOS software
that is included "free" with this document, or a commercially-available software pack-
age that adheres to the Authority's LOS methodology, The software incorporates the
following steps. If done manually, the following nine steps should be used to perform
the analysis:
Step 1 Lane Geometry
Identify the number and type of lanes for each approach.
Step 2 Intersection Volumes
Identify-:by counting (if analyzing existing conditions) or estimating (if analyzing fu-
ture conditions)~left-turn, through, and right-turn volumes for each approach for the
peak (design) hour volumes in vehicles per hour for each peak hour to be analyzed. In
most cases, the analysis will assess both the AM and PM weekday peak hour. For pro-
jects with peak periods that occur during midday or on weekends, additional time peri-
ods should be analyzed.

Chapter 7: Level-of-$ervice Methodology for Intersections
Step 3 Phasing
Identify the type of phasing (protected left turns, shared, or split) to be used at the in-
tersection.
Step 4 Left-Turn Check
When a traffic signal phase permits left turns against opposing traffic rather'than pro-
viding an exclusive left-turn phase, a check must be made to determine if sufficient left-
turn capacity is provided to meet demand. This check will apply to LOS calculations for
both existing, observed conditions and future estimated demand. Determination of the
need for an exclusive left-turn phase under existing conditions should also consider ac-
tual traffic counts, left-turn delay. observed queuing, and accident history. The left-turn
capacity is the combination of left turns made against opposing through movements
and left turns made during the amber portion of the phase.
The capacity during the amber portion (VJ-the maximum number of left turns that
can clear in this period-equals two times the number of signal cycles per hour. If the
number of cycles per hour is not known, assume that the maximum number of left
turns that can clear the intersection in one hour equals 90.
The capacity for left turns during the green cycle (V J~the maximum number of left
turns that can clear against opposing traffic volumes-is estimated using the following
equation:
v ~ == 1,200 (~) - V 0
Where:
Vi = left-turn volume. in vehicles per hour, that can clear during the green for
opposing through traffic

C cycle time for opposing through traffic*
Va sum of opposing through and right-turn volumes in vehicles per hour

*
If either the maximum green time or the cycle time is not known, use
the through and right-turn volumes for the approach divided by the
number of lanes.
Add the number of left turns calculated in the change interval Vc to the number calcu-
lated in the permitted left for a total number of left turns that can clear without a pro-
tected left (VJ. If the number of left turns calculated above (left-turn capacity) is more
than those estimated for the project, no protected left-turn phase is needed. If the num-
ber of left turns calculated above is less than the left turn demand, operating difficulties
and increasing delays will be experienced.
Step 5 Adjust Turning Volumes
Two situations may require adjustment of observed or estimated turning volumes:
1. Right turns where no separate right-turn lane is provided and significant pedes-
trian activity exists, and
2. Left turns where no separate left-turn lane is provided.
The PCE adjustments recommended in Circular 212 (see Appendix A of the Technical
Procedures) should be used. If the Authority's LOS software is used, adjustmeI1ts to the
turn volumes should be made prior to entering into the program.
Step 6 Calculate Volume-to-Capacity Ratio by Movement
The volume-to-capacity ratio of each of the 12 individual movements and any com-
bined movements of the intersection are calculated as follows:
.
Right-turn volumes on exclusive right-turn lanes are reduced to account for
right turns on red. This reduction will equal the non-conflicting left-turn vol-
umes with a minimum reduction of 90 vehicles per hour. (Non-conflicting left
turns go concurrently with the right turn. For example. the non-conflicting left
turn for the northbound right turn is the westbound left turn.)
Determine the capacity of each movement and each combined movement from
Table 8.
Calculate the volume-to-capacity ratio for each movement and combined
movement by dividing the adjusted volumes by the capacities. For combined
movements, use the combined volumes divided by the combined capacities.

Step 7 Determine Critical Volume-to-Capacity Ratios
Determine the highest total volume-to-capacity ratios for conflicting movements for
both the north-south and east-west directions. For a non-split phased direction, the
highest total of the right-turn or the through (or through plus right-turn if no exclusive
right-turn lane exists) plus the opposing left-turn volume-to-capacity ratios are chosen.
For a split phased direction, the highest volume-to-capacity ratio from each of the ap-
proaches is chosen. Free right turns are not included in the calculation since they are
not under signal control.
Circular 212 does not clearly indicate how the critical movements are to be selected for
single lane approaches (that is, when all right, left and thru movements are made from
single approach lane). Under the Circular either the approach with the highest volume
or both approaches could be designated as the critical movement. As part of the level-
, of-service method adopted by the Authority. however, both approaches should be con-
sidered critical movements.

OPTIONAL RIGHT-TURN ON RED ADJUSTMENT PROCEDURE
The VCCC method, as implemented in DOS, TransCAD, and other commercial soft-
ware, internally reduces the input right turn volume, using the right turn lane code and
other factors, to establish an "adjusted" volume that accounts for right turns on red
(RTOR). The adjusted right-turn volume is then applied in the V/C calculation. This
adjustment occurs automatically within the software, and is not directly controlled by
the user.
Past experience has proven that, from time ~o time, the program does not adequately
reflect higher levels of RTOR activity that may be occurring in the field. In cases where
the program under-estimates the RTOR adjustment, it will also over-estimate the VIC
ratio. If, in the analyst's judgment. the RTOR adjustment is being underestimated, then
the analyst has the option of conducting a RTOR count and further adjusting the right
turn volumes used in the LOS computation based upon observed conditions.
The RTOR count may be conducted after the full turning movement count has been
completed. The analyst should determine when the peak hour window occurred within
the peak period of the full turning movement count, and should return to the intersec-
tion to conduct a spot count during that same peak hour window. The spot count
should be for a minimum of one hour, and conducted in accordance with the Traffic
Counting Protocol in Appendix F.
The RTOR adjustment should be made as described below. The key to the input coding
convention is found in the VCCC User's Manual, and is reprinted here in Figure 6. For
clarity, we have assumed that there is only one right-turn lane involved (hence the cod-
ing 1.1,1.4, etc.). The following guidelines apply, however, to double (and triple) right
turns as well (e.g. 2.1. 2.4, or 3.1, 3.4, etc):

Where Right-Turn Lane Code is 1.1 or 1.4 and LOS Calculation is for Existing Conditions: If the
right turn lane code is Liar 1.4 (that is, where the right turning vehicle on red must
look for gaps in the cross traffic) and the analyst is computing LOS for existing condi-
tions, then the analyst subtracts the ROTR volume counted in the field from the origi-
nal right turn volume. (This new result is the "analyst-adjusted volume".) If the result-
ing analyst's adjusted volume is lower than the adjusted volume reported by the soft-
ware, then the analyst subtracts the difference in these two adjusted volumes from the
original right turn vol,ume input for the approach. The VCCC method should then
compute an adjusted right turn volume that matches the analyst-adjusted volume.
Right-Turn Lane Code is 1.1 or 1.4 and LOS Calculation /s for Future Conditions: If the right turn
lane code is 1.1 or 1.4 and the analyst is computing LOS for future conditions, an addi-
tional step is required. The analyst measures the right turn on red volume in the field as
before. This value, however, is discounted for any future ROTR capacity absorbed by
the forecast growth in conflicting cross-street traffic that uses the same lane as the
RTOR vehicles are trying to turn into. To calculate this discounted ROTR amount, the
growth in conflicting through traffic should be divided by the number of through lanes
on the cross street approach and that growth in per lane through volume subtracted
from the counted RTOR volume. The reduced RTOR volume is then used as in step I
above to compute analyst-adjusted right turn volume.
Right-Turn Lane Code is 1.5 or 1.6: Ifthe right turn lane code is 1.5 or 1.6 (right turn arrow
and u-turns from the opposing approach prohibited), and RTOR is also allowed (that
is, only a green arrow is displayed and there is no red arrow to prohibit RTOR), then
the same volume adjustment process is applied as described above under step 1. If a red
right turn arrow is displayed, however, then RTORs are prohibited and no RTOR ad-
justment is appropriate.
Right-Turn Lane Code is 1.7 or 1.8: If the right turn lane code is 1.7 or 1.8 (signal con-
trolled right turns turning into their own receiving lanes on the cross street), then there
are no conflicts with cross street through traffic and the same volume adjustment proc-
ess can be applied as described above under step 1.
Right-Turn Lane Code is 1.9: If the right turn lane code is 1.9 (a free right). no RTOR ad-
justment should be required. The VCCC method ignores the right turn volume and vie
ratio in the computation of the intersection vlc ratio.

DESCRIPTION OF INTERSECTION CAPACITY ANALYSIS
CCTA SIGNALIZED METHODOLOGY
Background
The CcT A intersection capacity analysis methodology is described in detail in the Technical
Procedures Manual ofthe CCTA, January, 1991. It is identical to the Circular 212 Planning
methodology except that the lane capacity has been increased from 1500 vph to between 1650 to
1800 vph based on saturation flow measurements taken at four intersections in Contra Costa
County. (See following Table 9 from the Technical Procedures Manual.)
On average, saturation flow rates for left-turn lanes were over ten percent lower than for through
lanes. However, insufficient data was collected to provide statistical accuracy for the averages.
Thus, saturation flow rates for through lanes are equal to those for turn lanes. '
This methodology determines the critical movement for each phase of traffic. It then sums the
critical volume-to-capacity ratio by phase to determine the intersection volume-to-capacity ratio.
Circular 212, on the other hand, sums the critical movement volumes themselves and compares
them to the total capacity of the intersection to determine, in effect, the volume-to-capacity ratio of
the intersection as a whole.
Levels of Service
The volume-to-capacity ratio is related to level of service (LOS). The following level of service for
Signalized Intersections depicts the relationship between the volume-to-capacity ratio and level of
service. An intersection operating at capacity would operate at LOS E. Level of Service F is not
possible for existing conditions, but can be forecasted for future conditions when volume
projections exceed existing capacities.
Input Data
The intersection capacity work sheets use a code to identify different lane configurations. This
nomenclature is described on the following Description of Lane Configurations. Right turn on red
adjustments are accounted for as well as unequal distribution of turn volumes in double turn lanes.
For more information, see Circular 212 and the CcTA Technical Procedures Manual.

Denotes the total number of lanes available for a particular movement.
Denotes how the lanes are used.
...The following anplies:
A lane used exclusively for a particular movement (Le., exclusive left-turn lane).
A lane which is shared, that is, either of two different movements can be made from a
particular lane (Le., a lane which is shared by through and right-tum traffic).
Denotes two or more through lanes in which two lanes are shared, one with left-turn
traffic, the other with right-turn traffic.
Denotes a right-turn movement from a wide outside lane where right-turn vehicles can
bypass through traffic sharing the lane to make a right-tum on red.
.
Denotes a right-turn movement from an exclusive right-tum lane with a right-turn arrow
and prohibition on the conflicting U-turn movement.
Denotes a right-turn movement from a shared lane with a right-turn arrow and prohibition
on the conflicting U-turn movement.
Tum lane which is shared with a through lane or left-turn lane and under signal control,
and which has its own lane to turn into. There must be at lease two through lanes.
Exclusive turn lane which is under signal control, and which has its own lane to turn into.
Exclusive turn lane not under signal control and which has an exclusive lane to turn into,
often referred to as a "free" turn. Since the volumes in this lane do not conflict with other
intersection movements, the V/C ratio of the free right-turn movement is not included in
the sum of critical V IC ratios.
