06/07/2004 Mitigation: The Project is required under the Marina Shores Precise Plan to achieve a fifteen percent (15 %) reduction in trips through implementation of Transportation Demand Management programs ( "TDM "). This requirement is fully enforceable by a provision which permits the City to withhold building permits if the 15% reduction is not achieved. No further mitigation is proposed for the impact described above. Findings: Adoption of the Project, in place of the Initial Project, results in this impact being less than significant. Right -of -way constraints make further mitigation of the impact described above infeasible. U. Cumulative (2020) Impact on the Veterans Boulevard/Woodside Road Intersection Potential Impact: By 2020, assuming the addition of traffic generated by all other approved and pending projects in the vicinity, the addition of Initial Project traffic would have been expected to increase the average delay at the Veterans Boulevard/Woodside Road intersection by more than five seconds during the PM peak hour, a period during which the intersection would already be expected to operate at an unacceptable level of service even absent the Project (Impact 7 -20). However, the Project, which is essentially identical to FEIR Alternative 6 for this purpose, is not expected to have a significant cumulative impact at this intersection. Mitigation: When and if the widening of the southbound approach to the intersection on Veterans Boulevard to accommodate an additional through lane and the widening of the on -ramp to U.S. 101 to accommodate a receiving lane become feasible, the Project will be required to make a fair share contribution toward such improvements (Mitigation 7 -20). Additionally, the Project is required under the Marina Shores Precise Plan to achieve a fifteen percent (15 %) reduction in trips through implementation of Transportation Demand Management programs ( "TDM "). This requirement is fully enforceable by a provision which permits the City to withhold building permits if the 15% reduction is not achieved. Findings: Adoption of the Project, in place of the Initial Project, results in this impact being less than significant. Because CalTrans approval and cooperation would be required for the widening of the U.S. 101 on -ramp, and because the construction of an additional through lane on Veterans Boulevard would not be desirable without this widening, as described in Mitigation 7 -20, further mitigation depends on the approval and cooperation of CalTrans and should not be treated or relied on as feasible for this Project. V. Cumulative (2020) Impact on the Blomquist Street/Seaport Boulevard Intersection Potential Impact: By 2020, assuming the addition of traffic generated by all other approved and pending projects in the vicinity, the addition of Project traffic is expected to increase the average delay at the Blomquist Street/Seaport Boulevard 1289 \02 \179278.2 16 Atty /Reso /Reso.1470 14590 060804 Muff # 304 Bin 26
