that any proposed mechanical equipment, such as roof mounted heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) systems or other mechanical equipment, are in compliance with applicable noise standards. e. Public Services: Impact PS -3 finds that the proposed project could trigger the need for new school facilities. This impact will be reduced by Mitigation Measure PS -3.1, which requires the project developer to pay school impact fees. f. Traffic Impacts - Existing plus Phase 1 of the Medical Center plus the Mixed -Use Retail Development. Traffic associated with development of Phase 1 of the Kaiser Medical Center, together with the Mixed -Use Retail Development would cause the level of service at the Aladdin Avenue/Alvarado Street intersection to degrade from LOS C to LOS E in the AM peak hour. This impact would be reduced by Mitigation Measure TR -1.4, which requires the project sponsors to contribute fair -share funds towards enhanced traffic signal equipment and software to optimize the traffic signal cycle length and phasing sequence and timings at the Aladdin Avenue/Alvarado Street intersection. This measure would improve the intersection operation to LOS D, thereby reducing the project impact to a less -than -significant level. g. Traffic Impacts - Cumulative (2030) plus Phase 1 plus Mixed Use Retail Development. When added to projected cumulative traffic levels by year 2030, traffic associated with development of Phase 1 of the Kaiser Medical Center together with traffic from the mixed-use retail development would cause intersections to degrade to substandard levels of service. (1) Impact TR -9 finds that project -generated traffic would cause the Aladdin Avenue/Alvarado Street intersection to degrade from LOS D to LOS E during the AM peak hour and the PM peak hour. Therefore, the project impacts are significant. This impact will be reduced by Mitigation Measure TR -9.5, which requires the cycle length of the actuated -uncoordinated signal timing to be optimized by adjusting the maximum extension parameters accordingly. The mitigation measure requires the project sponsors to contribute fair -share funds towards this improvement. (2) Impact TR -9 finds that the Marina Boulevard/ San Leandro Boulevard intersection will operate at LOS F during the AM peak hour with and without the addition of project -generated traffic. However, the project would cause the V/C to increase significantly and the project would also cause the intersection operation to deteriorate from LOS D to LOS E during both the PM and Saturday midday peak hours. Therefore, the project impacts are significant. This impact will be reduced by Mitigation Measure TR -9.7, which requires the addition of lanes to the Marina Boulevard/San Leandro Boulevard intersection such that one northbound left -turn lane shall be added to provide two left -turn lanes, two through lanes and one right -turn lane. The mitigation measure requires the project sponsors to contribute fair -share funds towards this improvement. Implementation of this mitigation measure would require the acquisition of additional right-of-way, but this acquisition would not result in -8-
