09/09/2013 paying its Traffic Impact Fee in effect at time of payment and issuance of a building permit. Applicant's full funding or construction of the improvement, subject to potential reimbursement as provided in the Precise Plan, would also mitigate the projecYs contribution to this impact. Finding: Implementation of Mitigation 7-8(a) would improve the level of service (LOS) at this intersection to an acceptable LOS C in the AM peak hour and LOS D in the PM peak hour, resulting in a less-than-significant impact. or Implementation of Mitigation 7-8(b) would improve the level of service (LOS) at this intersection to an acceptable LOS B during the AM peak hour and LOS C during the PM peak hour, resulting in a less-than-significant impact. Facts in Support of Finding: Implementation of either option for Mitigation 7-8 would reduce the project's traffic impact at the Charter Street/Bay Road intersection to a less- than-significant level. Mitigation option 7-8(a) requires a combination of a traffic signal with protected and permitted phasing (to replace the current Stop signs) and restriping; Mitigation option 7-8(b) requires the design and construction of a single-lane roundabout. In either case, the project would mitigate its contribution to the impact by contributing its fair share (estimated to be 41 percent) toward the cost of the improvement or, if in effect at building permit issuance, by paying its City Traffic Impact Fee. These facts are described in Draft EIR chapter 7 (Transportation, Circulation, and Parking) on pages 7-1 through 7-70, Draft EIR appendix 21.3 (Supplemental Transportation Information), and Final EIR appendix A (Supplemental Traffic Information), which are hereby incorporated by reference. Impact: Impact 7-9: Near Term Plus Project Impact on Douglas Avenue/Broadway Intersection. Under Near Term Plus Project conditions during the AM peak hour, project traffic would cause the intersection to degrade from LOS C (21.9 seconds) to LOS F (179.1 seconds). During the PM peak hour, the intersection would continue to operate at LOS F, but project traffic would cause the critical delay at the intersection to increase from 54.5 seconds to 223.4 seconds (i.e., by 168.9 seconds). In addition, this intersection would have peak hour volume increases large enough under both peak hours to satisfy the peak hour signal warrant. Mitigation: Mitigation 7-9. Implement Mitigation 7-4 (the project applicant would be responsible for fully funding/completing the mitigation). Finding: Implementation of Mitigation 7-9 would improve the level of service (LOS) at this intersection to an acceptable LOS C during both peak hours, resulting in a /ess- than-significant impact. Facts in Support of Finding: Implementation of Mitigation 7-9 would reduce the project's traffic impact at the Douglas Avenue/Broadway intersection to a less-than- significant level through a combination of a traffic signal with protected phasing (to replace the current Stop signs) and roadway restriping.
