Transportation/ Circulation Impacts (Continued) of the intersection of San Leandro Boulevard / Parrott Street, which operates at LOS F for the AM and PM peak hours. Consistent with existing conditions, this intersection satisfies peak hour signal warrants. As a result, the number of project -related trips would be expected to increase demand on the local and regional transportation network and could adversely impact emergency access as a result. The additional traffic could add to congestion at local intersections and could exceed established levels of service, especially at the intersection of San Leandro Boulevard and Parrott Street, as well as the I-880/Marina Interchange. Mitigation Measure #25: In order for the intersection of San Leandro Boulevard and Parrott Street to operate at an acceptable level of service, the intersection should be signalized. The project shall contribute towards mitigation costs through transportation development impact fees or pay its fair share based on the proportion of project traffic added to the intersection. Mitigation Measure #26: In order for the deficient I-880/Marina Blvd. interchange to operate at an acceptable level of service, the project shall contribute towards mitigation costs through transportation development impact fees or pay its fair share based on the proportion of project traffic added to the interchange. f) Parking requirements, as described in the TOD Strategy, are to be provided at a maximum of 1.0 spaces per dwelling unit for residential parking due to proximity to BART and AC Transit facilities. Parking demand for residential land uses is comprised of two components: 1) the residents; and 2) guests or visitors including deliveries. Peak parking demand for residential land uses is late at night when everyone is home. It is assumed that parking associated with the residential component of the proposed project (Site 1) will be reserved and not available to the general public or visitors. With project implementation, a total of between 329 to 345 parking spaces will be provided on Site 2 to replace all of the BART parking (329 spaces) that are currently being provided at Site 1 — at the northeast corner of West Juana Avenue and San Leandro Boulevard. The TOD Strategy provides strategies and implementation measures to address parking that are designed to decrease parking demand, manage parking demand and usage, mitigate spillover parking impacts and strategically locate parking to serve demand. Mitigation Measure #27: The proposed project shall implement TOD Strategy F7 by maximizing on -street parking opportunities on the internal circulation network west of the BART Station (Site 2). This shall include the use of angled parking on appropriate streets. Mitigation Measure #28: The proposed project shall implement TOD Strategy F14 by adopting a maximum parking ratio of 1.0 exclusive spaces per dwelling unit plus a maximum parking ratio of 0.5 parking spaces per dwelling unit for flex parking. Mitigation Measure #29: The proposed project shall implement TOD Strategy 15 by accommodating visitors through the shared parking supply (on and off-street) or in the unbundled flex parking supply that is permitted on site. The proposed project is in compliance with these mitigation measures. h) The proposed project would involve the in -fill development of an underutilized (Site 1) and vacant site (Site 2). The proposed project implements the Downtown San Leandro TOD Strategy evaluated in the TOD Strategy ETR that was certified in September 2007 and that encourages and supports alternative means of transportation. The proposed project does not involve a General Plan Amendment and therefore, does not trigger CMA review.
