Traffic from th� proposed project could add up to 78.2 seconds ta the PM peak hour delay at this intersection v�er Cumulative Na Proje�t canditions (see Draft �IR Table 7.16); other Cumulative growth could add up to 11.9 seconds to the delay over Near Term No Project conditions. The proposed praject would contribute its fair share to a mitigatian fund established to pay for the cost ofi this improvement (estimated, based on the Draft EIR, to be 87 percent} at the time of issuance of a bcailding permit or, if the City adds the impravement to its Traffic Impact �'ee Program (TIF) project list, the proposed project would pay its Traffic �mpact Fee in effect at time of payment and issuanoe of a building permit. F'inding: The proposed project's payment of its fair share #oward the necessary improvements ide�tified in Mitigation 7-15 wauld mitigate the projecYs con#ribution to the cumulative impact to a less-than-sign�cant Ievel. Facts in Support of Finding: Implementation af Mitigation 7-15 wauld reduce the pro�ect's cantribution to the cumulative traffic impact at the Douglas A�enuelBay Raad intersection to a less-than-significant le�el through the project's payment o# its fair share (estimated to be 87 gercent) to a mitigation fund, or if in effect at building permit issuance, tt�roug� payment of its City Tra�c Impact Fee, to signalize and res#ripe the intersect+on. These facts are described in Draft EIR chapter 7 (Transportation, Circuiation, and Parking) on pages 7-1 through 7-70, Draft EIR appendix 21.3 (Supplementa! Transportation Information), and Final EfR appendix A (Supplementa) Traf6ic information), which are hereby incorporated �y reference. Impact: Impact 7-9fi: Cumulative With Project Impact on Douglas A�enue! Middlefield Road Intersecfiion. Under Cumulative With Project conditions during the AM peaic hour, the intersection would degrade from LOS D to L05 E, and the proposed project coufd contribute up ta 1 Q.6 seconds of critical defay to the intersection. Mitigation: Mi�igation 7-16. To mitigate the cumulative impact at the interssction of Dauglas Avenue and Middlefield Road, the sastbound and westbaund approaches would need to be modified from permitted pl�asing to pratected phasing. (Douglas A�enue is considered north-south and Middl�field Road is considered east-west.) With th�ss improvements, the le�el of service (L.OS) at this ir�tersectian would improve to acceptable LOS D during the AM peak haur. Traffic from the proposed project cauid add up ta '!0.6 seconds to the AM peak hour delay at this intersection over Cumulati�e No Praject canditians (see Draf# EIR Table 7.16); other Cumulative growth could add up to 35.8 seconds to the delay over Near Term Na Praject conditions. The proposed praject would contribute its fair share to a mitigation fund establist�ed to pay for the cost af this improvement (estimated, based an the Draf# EIR, to be 23 percent) at the time of issuar�ce of a building permit ar, if the City adds the improvement to its Traffic Impact Fee Program (TIF) project list, the proposed project wauld pay its Traffic impact Fee in effec#at time flf payment and issuance of a building permit.
