Implement Mitigation 7-3 (the project applicant would be responsible for fully funding/completing the mitigation). With these improvements, the level of service (LOS) at this intersection would improve to an acceptable LOS B in the AM peak hour and an acceptable LOS C in the PM peak hour, and the impact would be less-than-significant. Impact 7-8: Near Term Plus Project Impact on Charter Street/Bay Road Intersection. Under Near Term Plus Project conditions during the PM peak hour, project traffic would cause the intersection to degrade from LOS D (27.7 seconds delay) to LOS E (37.7 seconds delay). In addition, this intersection would have peak hour volume increases large enough under both peak hours to satisfy the peak hour signal warrant. According to City guidelines, these changes would constitute a significant project impact(see criteria for"Intersection Impacts" in subsection 7.4.1, "Significance Criteria," above). Mitigation 7-8(a). To mitigate the project's impact at the intersection of Charter Street and Bay Road, the intersection would need to be signalized with protected phasing on the eastbound and westbound approaches on Bay Road, and permitted phasing on the northbound and southbound approaches on Charter Street. In addition to signalization, the eastbound and westbound approaches would need to be restriped to include a total of one left-turn lane and one shared through/right-turn lane. With these improvements, the level of service (LOS) at this intersection would improve to an acceptable LOS C in the AM peak hour and LOS D in the PM peak hour. Traffic from the proposed project would add 10.0 seconds to the PM peak hour delay at this intersection over Near Term No Project conditions (see EIR Table 7.11); other Near Term growth would add 14.5 seconds to the delay over Existing conditions. Therefore, it is assumed that the proposed project would contribute approximately 41 percent toward this impact. The proposed project would mitigate its contribution to this impact by contributing its fair share to a mitigation fund established to pay for the cost of this improvement (estimated, based on this EIR, to be 41 percent) at the time of issuance of a building permit or, if the City adds the improvement to its Traffic Impact Fee Program (TIF) project list, the proposed project would mitigate its contribution to this impact by paying its Traffic Impact Fee in effect at time of payment and issuance of a building permit.
