Traffic Engineer Town of Los Gatos 41 Miles Avenue Los Gatos, CA 95031 jp u (cD.l o sgato sca.gov Subject: Peer Review of a North 40 Specific Plan Memorandum Dear Jessy: TJKM has completed a peer review of the March 3, 2015 memorandum entitled "North 40 TIA Freeway Impact Elimination from MXD Trip Generation" prepared by Fehr and Peers (F &P). This memorandum is a follow up to earlier F &P documents dealing with reduced trip rates for the North 40 Specific Plan. F &P proposed reducing the trip rates found in their earlier traffic studies to more appropriately account for the traffic characteristics of mixed -use developments. It was noted that mixed -use developments have features that reduce auto trips compared to single use developments: • Complementary land uses • Diverse land uses • Walkable urban design and well- connected streets These features are quantified in two national studies, the National Cooperative Highway Research Program Report 264 and the EPA MXD model. F &P has developed a model based on the two studies, called MXD +, which has been shown to have greater accuracy than the two national studies. In using that model, the trip rates for North 40 Alternates A and B are reduced by 7 percent and 4 percent in the a.m. peak hour, respectively, and 23 percent in the p.m. peak hour Pleasanton for both alternates compared with the DEIR traffic studies. In TJKM's earlier peer review of these 4305 Hacienda Drive findings, we concurred with this approach. Suite 550 Pleasanton, CA 9458&2798 The March 3, 2015 memorandum uses the MXD+ approach to determine how much land use 925.463.0611 925.463.3690 fax would need to be "backed -off' to eliminate significant North 40 freeway impacts on two segments F,cm of southbound SR 85 near the project. Guidelines on Standards of Significance indicate that impacts 516 W. Shaw Avenue are less than significant if traffic on freeway mainlines increases by less than one percent during si a 200 Fresno, P eak hours. In this case, with freeway P eak hour capacities of 4,600 vehicles per hour (v ph) ) 93704 -2515 impacts are not significant if they increase the freeway volumes by 46 or fewer vph. F &P calculates 559.325.7530 559.221.4940 fax in the memo how much land use would need to be eliminated to ensure that no more than 46 Sarramentn vehicles are added to the southbound lanes of SR 85 during either peak hour. 980 Ninth Weet 16'^ Floor Sacramento. CA I q Project Alternative B contains 400,000 square feet of retail, a 150 -room hotel and 364 residential 95814 -2736 dwelling units. F &P demonstrates that using the MXD+ approach no land use would need to be 916.449.9095 eliminated to not create significant freeway impacts. Sand Roza 1400 N. Dunon Avenue Suite 21 Project Alternative A contains 269,000 square feet of retail, a 150 -room hotel, 364 residential Sano Rosa, CA dwelling units, 62,500 square feet of medical office space and 62,500 square feet of general office 95401 -4643 707.575.5800 space. The F &P goal was to determine how much office space would need to be eliminated to not 707.575.5888 fax exceed an increase in 46 -peak hour freeway trips. ykm @ykm.com ATTACHMENT 6 3 wv,v,ckm.com Mr. Jessy Pu TJKM April 9, 2015 Transportation Page 2 Consultants Two options are presented to achieve less than significant freeway impacts for Project Alternative A: • Remove all 62,500 square feet of general office and reduce medical office space to 35,000 square feet, or • Remove all 62,500 square feet of medical office and reduce general office space to 40,000 square feet. In either case, the earlier proposed retail, hotel and residential development for Project Alternative A can be retained. TJKM concurs with the methodology, findings and conclusions reached in the March 3, 2015 memorandum. Please contact me if there are questions about this matter.

The overriding concern from our standpoint is the N 40's impact to the downtown. Restaurant uses will be a major draw to the N 40 and there needs to be a defined limit to the number of these uses. What is also very concerning is the "Market Hall" concept which may be classified as a large space (e.g. 30,000 sq. ft.) but then broken up into small spaces in the interior with numerous food uses and retail outlets. It needs to be clarified that the larger spaces cannot be "broken up" into smaller spaces to circumvent the limitations set forth in the chart. Just to echo Ed below, it has been our understanding through this process that the retail component should mirror a neighborhood shopping center (e.g. Vasona Station, King's Shopping Center) to serve that end of town. We all know that Grosvenor wants a large regional center with the latest and greatest stores /restaurants /anchor tenants but the end result if this occurs is the dismantling of the downtown that has been the focal point of the council for the last 30+ years. Finally, there needs to be an even playing field between downtown and the N 40 as it relates to formula. To the extent there are no restrictions on formula in the N 40 district, it will become a shopping mall that will attract customers away from the downtown area. To the extent the N 40 is located at the N end of town, those traveling to Los Gatos on 17 will most certainly exit on Lark for the "new" attraction with ample parking (and no parking restrictions) instead of heading into the "old" downtown with limited parking. Your continued support and consideration are as always appreciated. Jason From: [mailto 1 Sent: Tuesday, April 07, 2015 7:25 AM ATTACHMENT 64 To: Jensen, Marcia; Steve Leonardis; Marico Sayoc; barbara spector Cc: jason Subject: No 40/ chart/ final thoughts Hello Council Members, I want to share my thoughts before the big April 14 meeting on the North 40. 1 really hope the council rejects the chart as proposed by the planning department. It allows 140,000 square ft of retail under 10,000 ft and 100,000 ft between 5001- 10,000. This in no way represents a neighborhood center, and clearly contradicts the wishes of the advisory committee. The 100,000 ft size ( 5001 - 10,000 ft) can be filled with 20 stores of 5000 ft which would be a huge draw. Let's cut that number in half. Also there is no limit on restaurants. There absolutely needs to be a limit. I could see Grovenor filling the spaces with a significant number restaurants. The 5000 to 10,000 size is ideal for corporate restaurants and there are many looking for a home. How many restaurants are needed to serve the neighborhood? Five? This total of 140,000 ft under 10,000 with a large number of restaurants will be a giant draw away from the downtown. The chart is intended to protect the downtown, and is a good idea, but right now as it stands I think it will kill the downtown. In reality though, no one knows for sure what will happen if this plan is approved. So simply put, does it really make sense to gamble with the future of the downtown?
