TransportationCommission | 2007-05-23 | 2 | 4. COMMISSION COMMUNICATIONS a. Multimodal Circulation Plan b. Pedestrian Plan c. TSM/TDM Plan Chair Knox White requested that CalTrans report on the I-880 projects. 5. ORAL COMMUNICATIONS There were none. 6. OLD BUSINESS There were none. 7. NEW BUSINESS 7A. Review and Provide Comment on Harbor Bay Village VI Draft Environmental Impact Report (DEIR) Outcome: Review DEIR and provide comments to be forwarded to Planning Board. Staff Bergman presented the staff report and summarized the scope and layout of this project. Staff developed a list of concerns regarding the project: 1. Page 3.12-17: The DEIR notes that the City's adopted Bicycle Master Plan includes a proposed trail connection from Catalina Avenue to North Loop Road at the end of Island Drive. This connection is not being recommended for inclusion in the project. 2. Impacts on transit service are addressed by the EIR only in terms of whether the existing transit service could accommodate the anticipated riders from the project. They did not consider what kind of demand could be generated from whether the transit service should be modified to directly serve the project, with over 100 units there. The nearest existing bus stops to the transit service would be approximately 2000 feet from the development. 3. Page 2-8: The DEIR incorrectly refers to the lines that are serving the area. 4. Page 3.12-18: Discusses impacts on traffic capacity, and the DEIR states that there would not be significant traffic capacity impacts based on the data presented in the DEIR. 5. The report was not accurate with regard to the intersection of Harbor Bay Parkway and South Loop Road. The intersection is currently at Level of Service F during the AM and PM peaks. The City's threshold of significance at intersections operating at LOS E or F in the baseline scenario is an increase in delay of four or more seconds. 6. The DEIR indicates that to mitigate the impacts, the proposed project would contribute toward the Harbor Bay Business Park Traffic Impact Fund, which in turn would fund the signals when they are determined to be needed.
