DRAFT EXHIBIT B: CITY OF REDWOOD CITY Precise Plan EIR Mitigation Measures Applicable to the Phase II Project Precise Plan EIR Mitigation Measure 7-2: To mitigate the project’s impact (i.e., the project applicant would be responsible for fully funding/completing the mitigation) at the intersection of Woodside Road and Bay Road, the westbound approach on Bay Road would need to be restriped to include a total of two left- turn lanes and one shared through/right-turn lane (Woodside Road is considered north-south and Bay Road is considered east-west). The eastbound approach would need to be restriped to include a total of one left-turn lane, one through lane, and one shared through/right-turn lane. In addition, the signal phasing on the eastbound and westbound approaches would need to be modified from permitted phasing to protected phasing. Because this intersection is subject to Caltrans jurisdiction, any changes to the operation of the signal would require Caltrans approval. Pursuant to Caltrans Deputy Directives 64 and 64-R1, requiring facilitation of multimodal travel, it is possible that the above intersection improvements would also be required to include such features as new crosswalk and pedestrian signals across Bay Road on the west side of Woodside Road, restriping of two crosswalks on Woodside Road to provide straight and shorter walking distances, pedestrian median refuges on Woodside Road, curb ramps, pedestrian count-down signals, an emergency vehicle pre-emption system, reconstruction of corner radii to reduce pedestrian crossing distances, bike lanes, and bike detectors. Precise Plan EIR Mitigation Measure 7-6: Refer to Mitigation 7-2 above. Precise Plan EIR Mitigation Measure 7-12: To mitigate the project’s contribution to the cumulative impact at the intersection of Veterans Boulevard and Woodside Road, an additional eastbound through lane would need to be added. (Woodside Road is considered north-south and Veterans Boulevard is considered east-west.) With these improvements, the level of service (LOS) at this intersection would improve to LOS E during the PM peak hour. Although LOS E still exceeds the City of Redwood City LOS standard, the LOS under Cumulative With Project conditions would be better than that under Cumulative No Project conditions. Therefore, with this mitigation, the project's contribution to this cumulative impact would be considered less-than-significant. Widening of Veterans Boulevard between Chestnut and Woodside Road is included in the City’s Traffic Impact Fee Program (TIF) project list. Accordingly, the applicant’s payment of its Traffic Impact Fee in effect at time of payment and issuance of a building permit would m itigate the proposed project’s contribution to the significant cumulative impact. However, because this improvement would require Caltrans approval, the City of Redwood City cannot ensure the construction of this improvement. Precise Plan EIR Mitigation Measure 7-13: To mitigate the project’s contribution to the cumulative impact at the intersection of Woodside Road and Bay Road, an additional westbound through lane would need to be added and the shared through/right- turn lane converted to a right-turn lane. (Woodside Road is considered north-south and Bay Road is considered east-west.) Traffic from the proposed project could add up to 46.2 seconds to the PM peak hour delay at this intersection over Cumulative No Project conditions (see EIR Table 7.16); other Cumulative growth could add up to 3.4 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 this EIR, to be 93 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 ATTY/RESO.0111/PC RESO STANFORD BLOCK E - EXHIBIT A & B REV: 11-30-23 VR Page 13 of 20
