Appendix E (Initial Study/Part # • Page 14 Access/Internal Circulation Due to the anticipated long delays of the outbound left-turning vehicles from the two driveways onto San Leandro Boulevard, it is recommended that the applicant signalize the northern San Leandro Boulevard driveway. With the northern San Leandro Boulevard driveway as a signalized intersection, all left turns out could be facilitated. As a result, outbound left turns at the southern San Leandro Boulevard driveway would need to be restricted. In addition, due to limited width to accommodate a southbound left turn lane at the northern San Leandro Boulevard driveway, southbound left turns. should be restricted. Project .traffic from southbound San Leandro Boulevard would then need to use the southern San Leandro Boulevard driveway to enter the project site. Mitigation: Plans for the access and internal circulation of the proposed project (including installation of any signals, as required), shall be approved by the Transportation Administrator and installed by the applicant to the satisfaction of the Transportation Administrator prior to issuance of occupancy permits. Implementation of this mitigation measure would result in a less than signifrcant impact. 14. a., b., e. This infill project is located on a site previously occupied by the City's Corporation Yard and other residential and commercial structures and is located in an area currently served by the City's police, fire and refuse collection services. There will be no need for new governmental services. 16. a.-f. This infill project is located on a site previously occupied by the City's Corporation Yard and other residential and commercial structures and is served by public utilities. Water, gas, electricity, telephone, sewer, storm water and cable tv services of sufficient capacity are presently available or can be extended from abutting streets with no unusual problems anticipated. 18. The proposed .office buildings will be 3-4 stories in height and be located adjacent to the two street frontages. The environmental education center will be one story in height and be located adjacent to the creek on a contiguous parcel. The parking garage is proposed to be three levels above grade and is located in the interior,of the site. Single-family residences exists across the creek to the north. Development of the office complex and tri-level parking structure will alter. the view of the existing vacant site from the nearby residential uses and also from San Leandro Boulevard and Davis Street. Due to the extensive existing mature vegetation and the separation of the proposed new buildings from existing residences to the north, visual impacts associated with development of Phase I are anticipated to be less than significant. Development of the 3-level parking garage as part of Phase II may impact nearby residents due to the fact that it would be located closer than the proposed buildings. Creekside Plaza - IS/Part 2 __
