westbound approaches on Broadway would need ta be restriped to include a total of one left-turn, one through lane, and one shared throughlright-turn 1ane. Parking {50 spaces} wauld need to be removed from all intersection legs ta accommodate travel lanes. Finding: Implementatio� of Mitigation 7-3 wauld impro�e the level of service (LOS) at this intersection to an acceptable LOS B in the AM peak hour and an acaeptable LOS C in tt�e PM peak hour, resulting in a less-fharr-signifrcantrmpact. Facts in Support of Finding: Implementativn af Mitigation 7-3 would reduce the project's traffic impact at the Charter Street/Broadway intersection to a less-than- significant level through a combination of a tra�c signal with protected phasing {to re�lace the current Stop signs) and roadway restriping� 7his mitigatian would require the removal of 50 total parking spaces from Cf�arter Street and Broadway. These fac#s are describecf in Draft EIR chapter 7 (Transportation, Circulatian, and Parking) on pages 7-9 through 7-70, Draft EIR appendix 21.3 (Suppiemental Transportation Information), and Final EfR app�ndix A (Supplemental Traffic Information), which are hereby incorporated by referenc�. Impact: Impact 7-4: Exist�ng plus Project Im�act on Douglas AvenuelBroadway Intersection. Under Existing Plus Project conditions during the AM peak hour, project traffic wauld cause the intersection to degrade from �OS B (90.4 secands delay) to LOS F (167.6 seconds). During the PM peak hour, project traffic wauld cause the intersection ta degrade from LOS B (11.1 seconds} to LOS F {180.0 seconds}. !n additian, this ir�tersection would ha�e peak hour vol�mes large enough under both peak hours to satisfy the peak hour signal warrant. Mitigation: Mitigation 7-4. To mitigate the project's impact (i.e., tf�e project applicant would be res�onsible for fully fundinglcompleting the mitigatian) at the intersection of Douglas Avenue an� Broadway, the fntersection would need to be signalized with pratected phasing an all approaches. (Douglas Avenue is considered north- south and Broadway is considered east-west.) In addition #o signalization, parking (15 spaces) would neea to be removed from the north and sauth legs to accommadate additional travel ianes. The southbound approach would need to be restrfped to include a total of one left-turn lane, one t�rough lane, and one right-turn lat�e. The northbound approach wauld need ta be r�sfripedto include a tota� of two northbound left-turn lanes and one shared tf�roughlright-tum lane. The eastbound and westbound approaches would need to be restrrped to includ� a total of one le�k-tum lane and one shared throughlr�ght�turn lane. Finding: lmplementation af Mitigation 7-4 wo�ld impro�e the fevel of service (LOS} at this intersection to an acceptable L05 C during both peak hours, resulting in a less- than-signifrcant rmpact. Facts in Support of Finding: Implementation af Mitigation 7-4 would reduce the project's traffic impact at the Douglas A�enue/Broadway inters��ion ta a less-than- sigr�ificant leve� through a cambination of a traffic signal with protected phasing {to replace the current Stop signs) and roadway restriping• This mitigation would require the removal af 15 parking spaces from Douglas Avenue. These facts are described �n Draft EiR chapter 7 (Transpar#ation, Circu latio�, and F'arking) on ATTY/RE50.2898/PC RE50 RECOMMENDING STANFORD EIR CERTIFICATION R�V,08-15-13 VR Page Z9 of 56
