Impacts 7-12 th rough 7-14 Analysis; Project Irr�pacts on Dri�eway Safefy, Internal Circulafion, and Parking. The 2003 EIR identified potentially significant impacts associafed with the following: ■ Dri�eway safety (Impact 7-12); ■ Internal circufation (Impact 7�13); and ■ Poten#ially inadequate project parking provisions (Impact 7-14). The associated 2003 �IR mitigations described specific driveway and internal circ�lation design criteria (e.g., site distances, internal roadway dimensions) and specific parking provision and parking management measures (e.g., a Parking Management Program), all subject to City review and ap�ra�al, that woufd reduce #hese impacts to less-than-significant le�els. Neither the 2003 proj ect nor the current Pete's Harbor project wauld meef Redwood Cit Zanin Ordinance {Articfe 3D) on-site parking requirements. Under Article 30 parking requirements, the 2003 project woulc! ha�e required at least 5,427 park ing spaces while pro�iding 5,120 spaces, a sl�ortage of 307 spaces. The current project would require at least 925 on-site park ing spaces; the current project proposes $05 spaces, a shortage of 120 spaces. The applicant has submitted a parking modification request per Art�cle 46.7.A.6 of fhe Zoning Ordinance, along wifh a Parking Management Plan, far City re�iew. Conclusion, Minor changes to Impacts anc! Mitigations 7-12 and 7-13. Impact and Mitigation 7-14 ha�e been modified to he consistent with the reduced, current Pete's Harbor project and the parking modification request, The m ifigations remain sufficient to recluce thes� impacts to less-than-significant levels. Impact 7-15 Analysis: Cumulative (2020)With Project Impact an the EI Camino ReallWhipple A�enue Intersection. The 2003 EIR indicated that the 2003 project would contribute peak-hour fraffic to le�el of ser�ice (LQS) conditions at the �l Camino Real/Whipple A�enue intersection, which �rvas aiready projected to exceed the E IR-iden#ified significance ihreshold (LOS E or worse) by the year 2020 without the project. Because it was determined that the 2Q03 project would �ncrease the average delays at the intersection by 9.9 and 17,5 seconds duTing t�e AM and PM peak hours, respectively {#he City's significance thr�shold is 5.D or more seconds), this effect was identified as a significant cumulative impact. The associated 2003 EIR mitigation indicated that an impravement had been identified for this intersection in #he Redwood City Traffic lmpacf Mitigation Fee Study(TIMFS); however, according to the 2003 �IR traffic analysis, the TIMFS-identified impro�ement (a new right turn �ane) wo�ld not be sufficient to mitigate this impact to a less-than-significant level. Instead, the 2003 EIR recom mended either a grade-separated railroad crossing af Whipple Avenue or a widening of the eastbound intersection approach, both of which were considered infeasil�le due ta right-of-way and o#her physicaf constraints; this cumulati�e impact was therefore identified in #he 2003 EIR as significant and unavoidable. r�1106931Addenduml3(1Qb95�01J rev.dac
