8.0 Exhi�� 87 (i) Mitigation Measures. Mitigation of this project impact could be achieved by Mitigation Measure 9-7 (p. 9-52 of the DEIR) with the addition of a shared southbound Ieft-through lane on Veterans Boulevard. However, improvements withiil the Woodside Road (SR 84) right-of-way are within the responsibility and jurisdiction of Caltrans. While the City believes this mitigation measure can and should be adopted by Caltrans, its implementation is outside of the City's jurisdiction, it therefore it is deemed infeasible and this impact is considered significant and unavoidable. (ii) Remaining Impacts. Because there are no feasible mitigation measures available to mitigate the significant impact identified above, this impact , is considered significant and unavoidable. (iii) Overriding Considerations. The environmental, social, economic and other benefits of the DPP override the significant adverse impacts of the DPP relating to increased traffic described above, as set forth in the Statement of Oveniding Considerations below. Impact 9-8: Project Impacts an Freeway Segments. Under Project Conditions, the project would add traffic volumes representing more than one (1) percent of the segment's capacity to the following segments already exceeding ca aci : P h' o Northbound US 101 (mixed flow) lanes between Marsh Road and Woodside Road (AM and PM) and the HOV lane during the PM peak hour; o Northbound US 101 (mixed flow) lanes between Whipple Avenue and I I Holly Street (PM only); I o Southbound US 101 (mixed flow) lanes between Holly Street and Whipple Avenue (PM only); and � o Southbound US 101 (mixed flow and HO� lanes between Woodside Road and Marsh Road (AM and PM). a) Potential Impact. The impact identified above is described and discussed on pages 9-52 to 9-53 of the DEIR. b) Findings. Based on the FEIR and the entire record before the City, the City Council finds that: (i) Mitigation Measures. Mitigation of this project impact could be achieved by Mitigation Measure 9-8 (p. 9-54 of the DEIR) with the construction of an additional mixed flow and/or HOV land on both northbound and southbound US 101. However, any improvements to US 101 are within the responsibility and jurisdiction of Caltrans. Although the City believes this mitigation measure can and should be adopted by Caltrans, its implementation is S.1RES01_UTIONSiRcsu. 2092 CEQA Findines for DPY Lxhibit B.doe 27 012011
