8.0 ExhiB�� 89 Impact 9-10: Cumulative Impact on EI Camino ReaUWhipple Avenue Intersection. Under Cumulative With Project Conditions during the PM peak hour, this intersection would continue to operate at an unacceptable LOS F. The additional project traffic would cause the average delay to increase by more than � five (5) seconds. � a) Potentia! Impact. The impact identified above is described and discussed on pages 9-5$ to 9-64 of the DEIR. b) Findings. Based on the FEIR and the entire record before the City, the City Council finds that: (i) Mitigatian Measures. Mitigation of this project impact could be achieved by Mitigation Measure 9-1 as discussed under Impact 9-1, above. As discussed under Impact 9-1 above, however, any improvements within the El Camino Real 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, because its implementation is outside of the City's jurisdiction, it is deemed infeasible and this impact is cQnsidered to be 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 the cumulative traffic impacts described above, as set forth in the Statement of Overriding Considerations below. Impact 9-I1: Cumulative Impact on EI Camino ReallJefferson Avenue Intersection. Under Cumulative With Project Conditions during both the AM and PM peak hour, this intersection would continue to operate at an unacceptable LOS (E or F). The additional project traffic would cause the critical delay to increase by more than five (5) seconds. a) Potential Impact. The impact identified above is described and discussed on pages 4-58 to 9-64 of the DEIR. b) Findings. Based on the FEIR and the entire record before the City, the City Council finds that: (i) Mitigatian Measures. Mitigation of this project impact could be achieved by Mitigation Measure 9-2 as discussed under Impact 9-2, above. However, any improvements within the EI Camino Real right-of-way are within the responsibility and jurisdiction of Caltrans, and not within the jurisdiction or authority of the City. In addition, these improvements would conflict with newly adopted PED policies contained in the City's New General Plan.
