Vehicle parking for the project would be provided in an underground parking garage below the proposed building and at-grade. A total of 7150 vehicle parking spaces would be provided on-site, including 6645 (4224 tandem spaces and 21 single stalls, 22 lift parking spaces, and two accessible spaces) parking spaces in the underground parking garage and five (including one accessible space) surface parking spaces. A total of 32 long-term bicycle parking spaces would be provided in secure bike lockers in the underground parking garage and four short-term bicycle parking spaces would be provided via a bike rack in the entry plaza.

Hi Aki
Thank you for the info.
The fact hat a traffic planning study was not requiredwas not communicated during the community meetings we had..
In fact during the 1st meeting we had almost a year ago, wewere sent a traffic plan done during the pandemic..
And during the other meetings we were told that we would be sent a traffic study.
May I ask why that happened. ?
Also as to the link below could you explain what I am supposed to look at? There are multiple links on the page. I am not the expert on this and I would ask you as the expert to summarize the document.
I see this on the page which seems to indicate that a local study is required. It refers to VMT analysis as opposed to your ITE statement below.
Mountain View VMT and MTA
On June 30, 2020, the Council endorsed a Vehicle-Miles-Traveled (VMT) analysis methodology for development projects that require transportation analysis citywide, in combination with requirements for a local-level analysis of multi-modal transportation impacts (including bicycle, pedestrian, and vehicle movements) referred to as a Multimodal Transportation Analysis (MTA). For more information, see Council Staff Report and Materials.
The Draft study. 918 Rich Ave Final Initial.pdf
My opposition would be
1) that the study foes not take into account the amount of traffic on Rich Avenue due to the additional 71 cars which could be possible due to the 71 parking spaces.This is considerably more than the 14 trips assumed below at peak hours.
2) Noise levels..
The document Sec 4.13.2 says that ambient noise levels would not exceed standards..
We would be living next door to the property (which has an open terrace where parties would be held).
Could you point me to the study which shows that the
noise levels would be less than standard during normal hours and when parties are held on the open terrace.
Regards

Hi Aki
Thank you . Could you explain why no traffic study was required..
In every community meeting which was held.. there was a major concern from attendees about the impact on Rich Avenue traffic which has already hightraffic during morning and evening hours and no parking at night..
The document you pointed me said this below.
Where did these numbers come from? 12 trips in the AM & PM peak hour seems very low.
The project proposes 32 residential units, which would result in approximately 145 new daily trips with 12 trips in the AM peak hour and 12 trips in the PM peak hour.90 Consistent with General Plan Policy LUD 17.2, the project includes Transportation Demand Management strategies such as on-site bicycle parking that promotes an alternative to single-occupancy vehicle trips. The addition of project’s incremental trips would not affect traffic operations on the surrounding roadways and would not be significantly noticeable on pedestrian, bicycle, and transit facilities. Thus, the proposed project would not conflict with any roadway plans, ordinances, or policies. (Less than Significant Impact) Regards
Anil

Dear Aki Snelling,
My name is Keyi Liu and my wife name is Xiulan Zhou and we are living at 920 Rich Ave, Mountain View, CA 94040. As requested in the last meeting, we want a buffer zone between our fence and the 918 pedestrian path.
Thanks for your consideration!

Impact AIR-3: The project
would not expose sensitive
receptors to substantial

Impact GHG-1: The project
would not generate GHG
emissions, either directly or
indirectly, that may have a
significant impact on the
environment with mitigation.
MM AIR-1.1: The project shall develop a plan
demonstrating that the off-road equipment used onsite
to construct the project would achieve a fleet -wide
average 60 -percent reductio n in DPM exhaust
emissions or greater. One feasible plan to achieve this reduction would include the following:
1. All construction equipment larger than 25
horsepower used at the site for more than two
continuous days or 20 hours total shall meet
U.S. EPA T ier 4 emission standards for PM
(PM10 and PM2.5), if feasible, otherwise,
a. If use of Tier 4 equipment is not
available, alternatively use equipment
that meets U.S. EPA emission
standards for Tier 3 engines and
include particulate matter emissions
control equivalent to CARB
verifiable diesel emission control
devices that altogether achieve a 60
percent reduction in particulate
matter exhaust in comparison to
uncontrolled equipment; alternatively
(or in combination).
b. Provide line power (electrical or non-
diesel) to the site during the early
phases of construction to minimize

MM NOI-2.1: The project shall implement the
following measures to minimize vibration impacts
from construction activities:
a. Avoid the use of vibratory rollers and other
heavy construction equipment within 20 feet
of existing structures.
b. Place operating equipment on the
construction site as far as possible from
vibration sensitive receptors.
c. Use smaller equipment within 20 feet of the
perimeter property lines adjoining off site
structures to minimize vibration levels below
the limits.
d. Avoid dropping heavy objects or materials
near vibration sensitive locations.
