ATTACHMENT "A" a 4 { i FINDINGS FOR SIGNIFICANT IMPACTS AND STATEMENT OF OVERRIDING CONSIDERATIONS BROWN SAND AND GRAVEL QUARRY EXCAVATION PERMIT#QX-94-1 F NOTE: THESE FINDINGS ARE INTENDED TO REPLACE FINDINGS E-1, E-2, E-3, AND E-4 OF THE "TR.AFFIC AND CIRCULATION"FINDINGS SET FORTH IN THE BOARD OF SUPERVISORS STAFF REPORT AT PAGES 44-45,AND TO SUPPLEMENT THE STATEMENT OF OVERRIDING CONSIDERATIONS SET FORTH IN ATTACHMENT"C"OF THE STAFF REPORT. T SIGNIFICANT IMPACT 9-1: "The only roadway capacity with peak hour traffic volumes exceeding available roadway capacity is State Route 132. State Route 132 is currently operating at LOS "D" during the AM peak hour and LOS "E" during the PM peak hour. The LOS remains at this level for all Existing and Existing plus Project conditions. LOS "E" is unacceptable." aired in or inc i o orated into the alterations have been re incorporated FINDING: Changes or q project that avoid or substantially lessen the significant effects as identified in the Final BIR. STATEMENT OF FACT: The Board of Supervisors finds and declares that the Final Environmental Impact Report("FEIR") includes Mitigation Measure 9-1,which will reduce Impact 9-1 to a level of insignificance. Mitigation Measure 9-1 accurately states that the need for a continuous four-lane section of highway between I-5 and State Route 132 is not project related, but exists independently of this project. This project will contribute only a small share of additional traffic to State Route 132. Therefore, the Board of Supervisors finds and declares that the payment by the applicant of the County's Traffic Impact Mitigation Fee, as required by Public Works Condition of Approval 2(e), with the submission by the applicant of annual production records, is sufficient to mitigate Impact 9-1 to a less than significant level, and no additional mitigation is rLquired. i1 SIGNIFICANT IMPACT 9-2: Under all existing and existing plus project conditions all movements except southbound Ieft turns operate at LOS "C" or better. The southbound left turns from Bird Road operate at LOS "D"during the heavy PM eastbound traffic. A level of service of"D" is acceptable to Caltrans and;the County. FINDING: Changes or alterations have been required in or incorporated into the project that avoid or substantially lessen the significant environmental effects as identified in the Final EIR.
