7A ATTACNMENT 1 Page 2L� FFnding: City Council of the City of Redwaod City adopts Standard Conditions 4.7-3 and 4.7-4 as feasible measures, and finds that the implementation of these Standard Condi"tions wouid reauce Po�er�fiiai irii�id�i riivvi-2 Gi t�e Nr��ct tc a E€j�a than-significant level. C. CUMULATtVE �MPACTS Potentiat Impact C-TRAN-'i: The proposed project wocald contribute to cumulative impacfis at three signalized and one unsignalized intersections during one or mc�� r°�k hour �eri��!. Mitigation tmpact C-TRAN-1.1: Alameda de las Pu[gas and Edgewaod Drlve. The int�rsectian at Alameda de kas Pu(gas and Edgewood Drive is projected to operate at �v'� F �n�! � d;.;r�ny tl�A q�l� anrl P[� pP�k h��r'�; r�snectively. The project sponsor shall install an Emergency Vehicle Pre-Emptian (EVP) at this intersection to avoid deiays for emergency vehicie response (i.e., Code 3 [[ights and sirens] police, fire service, and ambulance}. Signal pre-emption systems for emergency vehicles use sensars ta detect an approaching emergency vehicle and provide a green signal to the vehicle. Provision af additional lanes wauld be required to reduce delay at this intersection. This would likeiy require right-of-way acquisifiion. Mitigation identified €or this intersection under project conditions (an additiana! lefit turn lane and an eastbound right-turn overlap phase} would nofi reduce impacts at under cumu[ative conditions to a less than significant level. Finding: The City Council of the City of Redwood City finds this impact to be significant and unavoidable. It is #he City's goal to maintain the neighborhood character in the area around Afameda de las Pulgas and Edgewood Drive. The improvemenTs reguired to expand the intersection capacity (additional turning lanes} would ultima#e!y attract grea#er volumes, and be contradictory to the City's goal of maintaining neighborhood character in the area. The Ci#y Council of the City of Redwood City chooses to avaid the intersection modifications proposed by this mitigation measure in the interest of maintaining the neighborhood character in the area. This impact is overridden by projecf benefits as set forth in fhe statement of overriding considerations. Nlitigai�on lmpact G-TRAN-1.2: Alameda de las Pulqas and Whipple Avenue. The mitigation required to pravide acceptable levels of service at this intersection is pravide a right-turn overlap on the westbound approach {i.e., cars can turn right when there is a green #or left turn movements on Alameda de las Puigas�. The leveC of�ervice during the AM peak hour with the proposed mitigatian measure would be LOS D (51.4 seconds of delay). During the PM peak hour, the intersection would operate at LOS C with 32.9 seconds of delay wi#h the mitigation. The project sponsor shall construct fhe right-tUrr �verlap on #he wpstbound approa��? prior to issuance of an occupancy permit for fihe medical office building. AttylReso/Reso.1738 9 d82207
