8.0 Exhi�� 96 Impact 9-19. Cumulative Impact on Bay Road/Woodside Road Intersection. Under Cumulative V4'ith Project Conditions during both the AM and PM peak hour, this intersection would continue to operate at unacceptable LOS F. The additional project traffic would cause the critical delay to increase by more than five (5) seconds for the PM peak hour. I a) Potential Impact. The impact identified above is described and discussed on pages 9-58 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) Mitigation Measures. Mitigation of this project impact could be achieved by Mitigation Measure 9-19 (page 9-73 of the DEIR) which would require reconfiguration of the northbound approach so as to reduce the critical delay to less than 5 seconds. However, the improvements required by Mitigation I Measure 9-19 are within the responsibility and jurisdiction of Caltrans, and can and should be adopted by Caltrans. Because implementation of this mitigation measure is outside of the City's jurisdiction, it is deemed infeasible and therefore this impact is deemed 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 enviromnental, social, economic and �ther benefits of the DPP override the significant adverse impacts of the DPP rela�ing to the cumulative traffic impacts described above, as set forth in the Statement of Overriding Considerations below. Impact 9-20. Cumulative Impact on Bradford Street/Main Street Intersection. Under Cumulative With Project Conditions during both the AM and PM peak hour, the intersection would continue to operate at unacceptable LOS F. The additional project traffic wouId cause the critical delay to increase by more than five (5) seconds. a) Potential Impact. Thc impact identified above is described and discussed on pages 9-58 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) Mitigation Measures. Mitigation of this project impact could be achieved by Mitigation Measure 9-20 (page 9-74 of the DEIR) which would require signalization of the intersection. However, the City adopted PED policies in the City's New General Plan that are intended to promote alternative modes of transportation in the DPP area, emphasizing pedestrian and bicycle travel and a reduction in the number of vehicle miles traveled within and by residents of the S:UZESOLUTiUNSIReso. 2092 CEQA Findings for DPP F,xhibit B.doc 36 012011
