planned to include citywide traffic improvement needs, including improvements that would reduce congestion in the Woodside Toad corridor and in the area surrounding the project site on Bay Road. Supplemental Mitigation 12. The project applicant shall implement a Transportation D emand Management (T DM) l to reduce the number of drive -alone auto trips generated by the project. Finding 12o The combination of Supplemental Mitigation Measures 12-5(a) and 12-5(b) has the potential to reduce the Project's contribution to the cumulative impact at the Woodside load road Tray intersection to a less - than - significant level. However, Supplemental Impact 12 -5 is significant and unavoidable because the City of Redwood City cannot implement planned improvements at the Woodside Road/ road ra r intersection because it is within the responsibility and jurisdiction of another agency, i.e., the California Department of Transportation (Caltrans). It is uncertain when or if Caltrans will implement the planned im provements Overrid'ing consideration: The environmental economic, social and other benefits of the Project described in section 4a override the significant impact described above. Supplemental Impact 12-9: Cumulative traffic impact on Rolison Road Roadway. Cumulative with Project traffic would increase PIVI peak -hour and daily traffic on Rolison Road south of Second Avenue by more than five percent. Since Rolison Road carries fearer than 3,000 vehicles per day the increase in traffic due to the project would represent a significant cumulative impact. This impact is similar to Impact 3 -3 identified in the 1996 EII . sup ler ent l Mitigation 12-9: The applicant shall implement Supplemental (litigation 12-2 above (traffic calming). Finding 12-9: Supplernenta] impact 12-9 is significant and unavoidable because even though Mitigation 12.9 (and by reference - Mitigation 12 -2 ) has been required in and incorporated into the Project, implementation of the mitigation would not reduce the impact to a less - than - significant level. Therefore, the Project impact on Rolison Road south of Second Avenue wound 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. 5. Alternatives. The 1996 (Midpoint Technology Park I I included an identification and evaluation of a range of alternatives to the proposed Midpoint Technology Park project. The proposed Stanford outpatient Center Project represents a modification to a portion of the Midpoint Technology Park office R&D project addressed in the 1996 'EIf , The size and 6
