09/09/2013 Traffic from the proposed project could add up to 78.2 seconds to the PM peak hour delay at this intersection over Cumulative No Project conditions (see Draft EIR Table 7.16); other Cumulative growth could add up to 11.9 seconds to the delay over Near Term No Project conditions. The proposed project would contribute its fair share to a mitigation fund established to pay for the cost of this improvement (estimated, based on the Draft EIR, to be 87 percent) at the time of issuance of a building permit or, if the City adds the improvement to its Traffic Impact Fee Program (TIF) project list, the proposed project would pay its Traffic Impact Fee in effect at time of payment and issuance of a building permit. Finding: The proposed project's payment of its fair share toward the necessary improvements identified in Mitigation 7-15 would mitigate the project's contribution to the cumulative impact to a less-than-significant level. Facts in Support of Finding: Implementation of Mitigation 7-15 would reduce the project's contribution to the cumulative traffic impact at the Douglas Avenue/Bay Road intersection to a less-than-significant level through the projecYs payment of its fair share (estimated to be 87 percent) to a mitigation fund, or if in effect at building permit issuance, through payment of its City Traffic Impact Fee, to signalize and restripe the intersection. 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 7-16: Cumulative With Project Impact on Douglas Avenue/ Middlefield Road Intersection. Under Cumulative With Project conditions during the AM peak hour, the intersection would degrade from LOS D to LOS E, and the proposed project could contribute up to 10.6 seconds of critical delay to the intersection. Mitigation: Mitigation 7-16. To mitigate the cumulative impact at the intersection of Douglas Avenue and Middlefield Road, the eastbound and westbound approaches would need to be modified from permitted phasing to protected phasing. (Douglas Avenue is considered north-south and Middlefield Road is considered east-west.) With these improvements, the level of service (LOS) at this intersection would improve to acceptable LOS D during the AM peak hour. Traffic from the proposed project could add up to 10.6 seconds to the AM peak hour delay at this intersection over Cumulative No Project conditions (see Draft EIR Table 7.16); other Cumulative growth could add up to 35.8 seconds to the delay over Near Term No Project conditions. The proposed project would contribute its fair share to a mitigation fund established to pay for the cost of this improvement (estimated, based on the Draft EIR, to be 23 percent) at the time of issuance of a building permit or, if the City adds the improvement to its Traffic Impact Fee Program (TIF) project list, the proposed project would pay its Traffic Impact Fee in effect at time of payment and issuance of a building permit.
