Based on the above findings and conditions, the development will comply with the applicable street <br />standards at EC 9.6800 through EC 9.6875. <br />1004 <br />(b) Pedestrian, bicycle and transit circulation, including related facilities, as needed <br />among buildings and related uses on the development site, as well as to adjacent and <br />nearby residential areas, transit stops, neighborhood activity centers, office parks, <br />and industrial parks, provided the city makes findings to demonstrate consistency <br />with constitutional requirements. "Nearby" means uses within X mile that can <br />reasonably be expected to be used by pedestrians, and uses within 2 miles that can <br />reasonably be expected to be used by bicyclists. <br />The applicant's plans show pedestrian and bicycle circulation within the development via.. <br />interconnected paths between the buildings and bicycle parking areas. The-applicant notes that there <br />is an existing worn path along the north property line, between the Oakleigh Lane roadway and the <br />east property line, abutting the City parklands. The applicant proposes to keep this path open, but <br />does not explicitly show any dedications to the public to enable continued access. The previous <br />requirement for additional right-of-way dedication (13 feet wide and 24 feet long) will address this <br />issue and satisfy the above criterion. <br />With regard to bicycles and pedestrians traveling westward on Oakleigh Lane toward transit services <br />on River Road, referral comments from Public Works staff state that, for unimproved local streets in <br />the River Road area (i.e., streets that lack sidewalks and have not been striped to identify dedicated <br />travel lanes), the expectation is that pedestrians and bicyclists will share the paved surface with <br />vehicles. Additionally, there is a tendency on dead end streets such as Oakleigh Lane, for motorists to <br />travel at slower, more cautious speeds, because of the perceived narrowness of the street. <br />Public Works staff confirm that, until such time that property owners elect to improve Oakleigh Lane <br />to full City standards (including sidewalks), the existing paved surface of Oakleigh Lane will continue to <br />adequately provide for vehicle and pedestrian traffic, as well as for emergency vehicles and delivery <br />services, provided the paved surface is not blocked by parked vehicles. With regard to public <br />comments received about vehicle parking occurring on the shoulders of the roadway, Public Works <br />staff notes that, technically, such parking is not allowed. The street could be signed for no parking as <br />part of improving the street, but not before, because the City does not maintain unimproved streets. <br />Public Works staff states that the existing paved surface provides safe passage for two-way vehicular <br />traffic, bicycles, pedestrians and emergency vehicles. As such, Public Works staff indicates that there is <br />nothing to suggest that the impacts of the proposed development will result in unsafe conditions. in <br />Oakleigh Lane. Public Works staff confirms that it is appropriate to defer public improvements via an <br />irrevocable petition. . <br />Referral comments from Lane Transit District (LTD) staff also confirm that transit service is <br />provided from River Road (i.e. 51 Santa Clara and 52 Irving routes), to the west. LTD staff states. no <br />objection to the proposed development. <br />(c) The provisions of the Traffic Impact Analysis Review of EC 9.8650 through 9.8680 where <br />applicable. <br />Staff Report: Oakleigh Meadows Cohousing September 2013 .
