01/24/2011 Exhibit B measures available to mitigate the significant impact identified above, this impact is considered significant and unavoidable. (iii) Overriding Considerations. The environmental, social, economic and other benefits of the DPP override the significant adverse impacts of the DPP relating to the cumulative traffic impacts described above, as set forth in the Statement of Overriding Considerations below. Impact 9 -21. Cumulative Impact on Veterans Boulevard/Whipple Avenue Intersection. Under Cumulative With Project Conditions during both the AM and PM peak periods, this intersection would continue to operate at an unacceptable LOS (E or F). The additional project traffic would cause the critical delay to increase by more than five (5) seconds for the PM peak hour. a) Potential Impact. The impact identified above is described and discussed on pages 9 -58 to 9 -64 of the DEIR. b) Mitigation Measures. FEIR Mitigation Measure 9 -6 (p. 9 -51 of the DEIR) is hereby adopted and will be implemented as provided in the Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Program. c) Findings. Based on the FEIR and the entire record before the City, the City Council finds that Mitigation Measure 9 -6, discussed and adopted in Impact 9 -6 above, will reduce the project contribution to this cumulative impact to a less than significant level because even though LOS at the identified intersection will continue to operate at an unacceptable level, the change in the critical delay from Cumulative Without Project Conditions would be reduced to less than five (5) seconds. Impact 9 -22. Cumulative Impact on Veterans Boulevard/Woodside Road Intersection. Under Cumulative With Project Conditions during both the AM and PM peak periods, this intersection would continue to operate at an unacceptable LOS F. The additional project traffic would cause the critical delay to increase by more than five (5) seconds. a) Potential Impact. The impact identified above is described and discussed on pages 9 -58 to 9 -64 of the DEIR. b) Findings. Based on the FEIR and the entire record before the City, the City Council finds that: (i) Mitigation Measures. With Mitigation Measure 9 -7 discussed in Impact 9 -7 above, this intersection would continue to operate at an unacceptable LOS F (107.3 sec /veh) in the AM peak hour and LOS F (162.8 sec /veh) in the PM peak hour even though the change in the critical delay from Cumulative Without Project Conditions would be reduced to less than five (5) seconds. Furthermore, the improvements proposed under Mitigation Measure 9 -7 are within the responsibility and jurisdiction of Caltrans, and can and should be adopted by U:\Resolutions\2011\Reso 15086 Exhibit B.doc 38 012011 Reso. # 15086 Muff #601
