Section 4.0—Environmental Setting and Discussion of Impacts 4.16.3.3 Existing Plans Project Conditions Intersection LDS (Checklist Questions I and 2) The results of the LOS analysis with the addition of project trips are summarized in Table 4.16-5 below. The results show that all study intersections would continue operating at LOS C or better under existing plus project conditions. Table 4.16-5: Existing Plus Project Intersection LOS The traffic generated by the 220 student enrollment increase that could result from the proposed project plus fulfillment of the unmet existing capacity at Sandpiper Elementary School (i.e., 62 students) would not result in significant intersection impacts. The project would contribute to traffic congestion during the 10- to 15 -minute peak periods of drop-off/pick-up. Outside of the peak 10- to 15 -minute periods before and after school, the intersections carry light traffic volumes. Therefore, the project would not result in a significant intersection impact. (Less Than Significant Impact) 4.16.3.4 Parking The on-site parking lot contains a total of 95 parking spaces, 46 spaces on the District property and 49 spaces on the City property. An existing joint use agreement between the City and District allows District use of the 49 parking spaces on the City property for school operations. Under the proposed project, Sandpiper Elementary School would include a total of 36 classrooms and two administrative offices. The Redwood City Zoning Ordinance (Section 30.4.D.4), states that all elementary schools shall provide one parking space for each classroom and administrative office, plus one space for every 100 sf of school auditorium space. Applying the City's parking requirement to the proposed project, Sandpiper Elementary School would be required to provide a total of 38 parking spaces.
