T.:Fi Figures g & T-9: The following paragraphs should be included in the "Impacts" section and should precede the "Mitigations" heading on page 44 of the DEIR. "The State Route 12/Cluff Avenue intersection will become an impacted area with northeast buildout with or without the DEIR Project. This will require intersection treatment as suggested in the mitigation section. Improvements should include left-turn pockets on all legs, possible right turn only lanes on some legs, and four through lanes on State Route 12 East to at least Build Avenue. This likely five lane (2-way left turn lane) section on State Route 12 will require all widening on the south side of the existing roadway because of the S.P.R.R. on the north." State Route 12/Guild Avenue Intersection: The following paragraphs should be included in the "Impacts" section and should precede the "Mitigations" heading on page 44 of the DEIR. While the intersection of Highway 12 and Guild Avenue does not appear to be adversely affected by expansion of the transfer station it will suffer impacts as a result of full industrial development in the City's northeast area. A preliminary yanalysis indicates that even with exclusive left tum lanes, all left turns (not signaled) would operate at LOS "F" at full industrial buildout. Signalization and exclusive left turn lanes would upgrade the operation here to LOS"D'°." Improvement Funding Mechanism: The original traffic discussion under the "Mitigations" heading on page 44 in the DEIR which reads, "The City could anticipate the need for improvements to intersections in the area (signalization, widening). It could estimate the cost of these improvements and apply those costs to an "area of benefit" under the Government Code or CEQA. Thereafter businesses that expand within the benefitted area could be required to pay their pro-rata share of these improvements." should be replaced with the following text. "As stated above, the project would have an adverse impact on the northbound thru movement at Turner and Cluff when it is fully operations. This impact is small (60) vehicles per hour) but it could be mitigated to operate at LOS '°B'° by signalization.
