12/17/2007 roadway and circulation aisle widths, turning radii, and turnaround dimensions, the Project's internal vehicular circulation system could include substantial safety hazards and emergency access deficiencies, representing a significant impact. Mitigation 7-13: The Project's final internal circulation system shall incorporate the following minimum standards: 1. all two-way circulation aisles shall be a minimum of 24-feet wide; 2. all one-way circulation aisles providing access to any 60-degree parking shall be a minimum of 16-feet wide; 3. turning templates shall be applied to the final detailed site plans to ensure that vehicles can negotiate all required turning movements; 4. since moving vans will need to access buildings at the south end of the site, the internal circulation system shall be designed to safely and conveniently accommodate these vehicles; 5. dead-end circulation aisles are not desirable; turnarounds shall be provided at all dead-end parking aisles, some of which are already shown on the preliminary site plan; 6. the internal circulation plan shall be subject to review and approval by the City to ensure that adequate emergency access is provided; 7. direct sidewalk connections shall be provided between all buildings; and 8. all sidewalks should meet Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) and City design standards. Findings: Implementation of these measures is feasible and would reduce this potential internal circulation impact to a less-than-significant level. I. Potentiallv Inadeauate Proiect Parkina Provisions Potential Impact 7-14: In order for the project to comply with City parking requirements and meet other applicable parking design standards and common practice, parking for all project residential units, commercial activities, and recreational provisions would have to be contained on-site, in numbers and configurations which are sufficient to meet peak- period parking demands for these project uses and which are within convenient proximity to users. The project parking provisions must also be designed and managed to meet the parking control and security concerns of the City. Based on City code requirements, the proposed project would be required to provide 2,052 parking spaces. The project, as proposed, would provide 1,966 parking spaces, a shortage of 86 spaces; a portion of this shortage is assumed to be eliminated by Peninsula Park residents walking to the on-site neighborhood-serving retail and restaurant uses.
