Appendix E(Initial Study/Part • S Page 11 is processed through the BAAQMD. Implementation of this mitigation measure would result in a less than significant impact. 13. a. A Traffic Impact Study was prepared for the applicant by Fehr & Peers Associates, Inc.' Traffic impacts were analyzed for four intersections: Marina Boulevard/Teagarden Street (signalized); Marina Boulevard/I-880 Northbound Ramps (unsignalized); Marina Boulevard/I- 880 Southbound Ramps (unsignalized); and, Marina Boulevard/Merced Street (signalized). Morning and evening peak period intersection turning movement counts were also taken as part of the study. Under Existing Conditions, the two signalized intersections operate at acceptable Level of Service (LOS) C or better during both the AM and PM peak hours. For the unsignalized ramp intersections, all movements except the left turns are uncontrolled and experience no delays. The left-turn movements at the unsignalized intersections of Marina Boulevard with I-880 on-ramps operate at acceptable LOS D during the AM peak hour, and not-acceptable LOS F during the PM peak hour. Trip generation, based on the number of employees (which is higher than if based on gross floor area), indicates that the proposed project will produce approximately 79 trips during the AM peak hour, and 113 trips during the PM peak hour. The addition of traffic from the proposed project results in marginal increases in delays at the study intersections, however all intersections continue to operate at the same service levels as without the project. Since the project does not produce any eastbound left-turns at the Marina Boulevard/I-880 Northbound on-ramp intersection, there are no significant impacts at this intersection. The project contributes 21 vehicles to the already-failing westbound left-turn at the Marina Boulevard/I-880 Southbound on-ramp during the evening peak hour. This is less than five percent of the existing left-turn volume, and is not considered a significant impact. The conclusion of the traffic impact study indicates that the proposed automobile dealership would not result in any significant impacts on the intersections in the area and no mitigation measures are recommended or required 14. a., b., e. This in-fill project which is located on a site previously developed with manufacturing uses 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 in-fill project which is located on a site previously developed with manufacturing uses is served by public utilities.
