As
noted
on
page
4.N-72
of
the
Draft
EIR,
trip
generation
is
based
upon
ITE
Trip
Generation
,
and
is
adjusted
for
internalized
trips
based
on
project
development
scale,
density,
diversity
of
uses,
and
design.
Because
the
DSP
and
DSP-V
scenarios
have
varying
degrees
of
land
use
diversity,
the
external
trip
generation
differs
slightly
between
the
scenarios
for
specific
land
uses
of
the
same
size.
See
for
more
information
on
the
internal
capture
adjustments
to
ITE
trip
generation.

The
conclusion
of
Mitigation
Measure
4.N-1a
is
that
implementation
of
the
mitigation
measure
is
outside
of
the
City
of
Brisbane,
and
requires
the
concurrence
of
another
under
agency,
which
the
City
of
Brisbane
cannot
ensure.
Therefore,
impacts
were
considered
significant
and
unavoidable.
Mitigation
Measure
4.N-1a
requires
that
physical
improvements
be
constructed
and
accepted
for
public
maintenance
prior
to
issuance
of
occupancy
permits
for
any
site-specific
development
that
would
(1)
result
in
reducing
the
intersection
to
below
the
acceptable
LOS
standard,
or
(2)
contribute
additional
traffic
to
the
intersection
if
it
is
already
operating
below
the
acceptable
LOS
standard.
Thus,
responsibility
for
implementation
is
placed
on
the
applicant
for
Baylands
development.
The
typical
starting
time
of
an
evening
event
at
an
arena
would
be
a
7:00
or
7:30
PM.
It
is
thus
conservative
to
estimate
that
half
of
the
attendees
at
the
event
would
arrive
more
than
1
to
1½
hours
before
the
start
of
the
event.
The
added
volume
at
Intersection
1
of
a
sold-out
arena
event
is
about
10%
of
the
total
arena-related
traffic
volume.
The
bulk
of
the
volume
contributes
to
the
eastbound
through
movement,
which
has
excess
capacity.
By
adding
vehicles
to
the
intersection
approach
that
experiences
less
delay,
the
average
delay
actually
decreases.
The
calculated
LOS
does
not
include
the
special
event
traffic
management
that
is
described
as
a
Mitigation
Measure
4.N-1f
on
page
4.N-102
of
the
Draft
EIR.
Such
“police
directed
special
event
traffic
patterns
and
controls”
would,
however,
be
provided
at
the
area
operator’s
expense
as
the
result
of
implementing
Mitigation
Measure
4.N-1f.
