�- Year 2013 Plus Project(Phase I) Conditions <br /> Impacts to the intersections listed below in the Year 2013 Plus Project Conditions Table, all of which lie <br /> outside the County's jurisdiction, would be less than significant if the improvements recommended in the <br /> DEIR for each such intersection were constructed. However, the project alone does not cause the impacts <br /> in question. Rather, such impacts would be caused under cumulative conditions in combination with other <br /> projects. Section 15130 of the CEQA Guidelines specifically provides that an EIR may determine that a <br /> project's contribution to a cumulative impact may be mitigated by requiring the project"to implement or fund <br /> its fair share of a mitigation measure or measures designed to alleviate the cumulative impact" (CEQA <br /> Guidelines, Section 15130 (a)(3)). The project will therefore be required to contribute its fair share of the <br /> cost of the relevant improvements by paying the applicable fees for the project under RTIF program at the <br /> time of building permit applications. The recommended improvements for the mitigation of these impacted <br /> intersections have been programmed for inclusion and construction under the RTIF program. <br /> However,the County,as Lead Agency, does not have jurisdiction over these improvements,and there are no <br /> other feasible mitigation measures apart from the payment of mitigation fees that are part of a reasonable, <br /> enforceable plan or program that is sufficiently tied to the actual mitigation of the traffic impacts at issue. <br /> Because it is uncertain whether full funding will be achieved for construction of these improvements, and,if <br /> so,whether and when such improvements will be constructed even with implementation of these mitigation <br /> measures, and therefore, whether these improvements will be constructed prior to project build out, these <br /> impacts will be significant and unavoidable even with implementation of the relevant mitigation measures. <br /> Findings of Fact/ 20 November 2012 <br /> Statement of Overriding Considerations <br />
