{ Programs. The second phase of the remodeling will take place once the outpatient expansion buildings are complete and the existing outpatient and administrative areas area vacated. The second phase will involve a more comprehensive remodeling involving the relocation of day treatment and decompression of existing program areas. ENVIRONMENTAL ISSUES 3.b. Plant/Animal Life: This site falls within the range of three species,identified by the Natural Diversity Data Base. These species are the California Hibiscus, the Ferris Birds Beak, and the California Black Rail. However, because this site is in an urban area, and was previously developed as an armory, it is unlikely that any of these species exist at this site. This project is not expected to have a significant impact on plant or animal life. 5. Noise: This site is not located near any freeways or other significant noise F generators. Noise generated by the project will include construction noise, noise from air conditioning units and noise associated with traffic generated by the project. None of these noise impacts are expected to be significant. 9. Transportation: A traffic study prepared by Fehr& Peers Associates, Inc. and reviewed by the Department of,Public Works, indicates that this project will not have a significant impact on local traffic in the short term (existing plus project). However, the cumulative plus project analysis indicates that this project could have a significant impact on the California Street/Harding Way intersection. In the year 2025, that intersection is expected to operate at level of service (LOS) F, even without the project. No funding source has been identified for needed improvements and the physical feasibility of implementing the needed improvements is unknown. However, the traffic study indicates that the project's share of the cumulative impact can be mitigated. The report determined that the following mitigation measure is required to reduce the cumulative impact to less than significant (page v): i Mitigation of that significant impact can be achieved through the construction of a dedicated right-turn lane on the northbound approach to the intersection. Implementation of this mitigation measure will fully offset the project-related incremental increase in intersection V/C for all study scenarios. In accordance with San Joaquin County policy, therefore, it will reduce the identified impact to less than significant. To implement the above mitigation measure, the applicant is proposing an irrevocable offer of dedication to the City of Stockton from the most northern driveway on California Street to Harding Way. With this mitigation measure, the project will not have a significant impact on the environment. 14. Cumulative: See "Transportation". r I
