Overriding considerations is hereby adopted for the Stanford Outpatient clinic Project. Supplemental Impact 12w2: Project traffic impact can Rollson Road Roadway Segment, Project traffic would increase PM peals -hour and daily traffic on I olison Road south of Second Avenue by more than five percent. since this segment of f olison Road currently carries fewer than 3,000 vehicles per day and is therefore operating as a "local street," the increase in traffic due to the project represents a significant impact. This impact is similar to Impact -3 identified in the 1996 EIR. Supplemental Mitigation 12-2: The applicant shall implement traffic calming devices to help maintain vehicle speeds at posted limits along folison Road south of Second Avenue. The installation of these devices shall be made in accordance with city standards and shall be coordinated with city Traffic Engineer and emergency services (Fire Department). A traffic consultant shall prepare a traffic calming options study with recommendations and shall monitor the traffic calming installations to ensure appropriate mitigation, The traffic consultant shall be hired by the city and paid for by Stanford Hospital & clinics. Finding 12w2: supplemental Impact 12-2 is significant and unavoidable because even though Mitigation 12-2 has been required in and incorporated into the Project, implementation of the mitigation would not reduce the impact to a less4han- significant level. Therefore, the Project impact o n l olison Road south of Second Avenue would represent a significant unavoidable impact. Overriding Consideration: The environmental, economic, social and other benefits of the Project described in Section 4a override the significant impact described above. Cumulative impacts The following impacts are considered cumulative, describing the incremental impact of the Project when added to other closely related past, present or reasonably probable future projects (identified in Chapter 9 of the S Il . In conjunction with these reasonably foreseeable projects, the various changes to the Project site - would cause the following to significant cumulative impacts, both associated with traffic. Again, the letters and numbers assigned to each impact below correspond to the letters and numbers assigned to each impact in the SEI1 . Supplemental Impact 12-5: Cumulative with project traffic impacts at Woodside Road / r a away Intersection. Traffic under Cumulative with Project Conditions would cause an unacceptable increase in delay at the Woodside Road/Broadway intersection during the PM peak hour. This delay increase would represent a significant cumulative impact. This impact is similar to Impact 3 -2 identified in the 1996 EIf . Supplemental Mitigation 12-5(a) The project applicant shall pay an additional traffic impact fee for the approximately 393 net new PM peals -hour trips generated b the Stanford outpatient center Project. The traffic impact tee program is 5
