9A Page 6 consuitants to the City, includes a summary and confirmation of these conclusions and is included in Attachment 8. The applicant has initiated a review process with San Mateo County Health_ As a consultant to the appiicant, Geomega inc. submiiied a humar� health risk assessment report on March 2, 20�7 to County Health. The repart supplements existing information on soil and water contaminants.The repart states that based on consistently conservative estimates, with a farge margin af safety, migration of toxics from groundwater into the proposed project parking garage will not be of concern for fu#ure onsite residents. County Health reviewed the assessment and provided a written response on April 2, 2007. County Health determined that the assumptions and methodology of the risk assessment were reasanable. They approved the waste management plan with conditions and had some additional questions for the appficant which were responded to by Remediation Testing and Design (RTD) in a letter dated Apri(4, 2007. The County Health and RTD letters are �!so provide� ;n Attachment 8. This r�vie�ti�pr�cess ar.d oversi�ht by Gounty Nealth is standard for sites involv[ng contamination. 4. Project Traffic: ■ The project stradd[es the intersection of Horgan and Woodside Road,which has been determined by the City's Traffic Engineer and environmental traffic consultant to be the intersection that wifl be most impacied ny the project. Staff is confident in the findings and conclusians of the Hexagon Trafific Anafysis, which indicates no significan# project-related traffic impacts at this intersection. In the peak hour condition, the proposed project will generate approximately 22 new trips. Assuming a worst-case scer�ario (i.e. that a!I 22 peak hour trips try to queue in and out of the site at the same time), consideration of queue length at the Horgan Avenue intersection was considered.The space between the projec# driveway and this intersection can accommodate about five cars, and thus any additional cars leaving the projec#would be queued inside the site. Cars entering the project would not �ae blocked by the exit queue. In the typicai case where trips are distributed across time, similarly to the trip distribution from the existing 500+/- residences in the neighborhoad, about one car every two minutes would enter and/or leave the project driveway during peak hour conditions. ■ Attendees of the community workshop participated in a land use planning exercise. They were presented with several commercial and mixed-use alternatives for the site to illustrate and compare tf�e impacts of vario�s uses, including trip generation. The land uses included a twa-story commercial developmentwith a bank, copy shop, and office; a one-storyfastfood restaurant uvith a drive-through; and two office and residential mixed-use projects (one smaller and one larger, three and seven-story respectively) including a project that was previously approved for this site in 20D1. Workshop participants indicated that alternate uses such as a small hotel and a park should have been considered. Trip generation rates for tl�ese comparison uses is provided below: 6
