All the <br />affected study intersections <br />would operate at acceptable LOS <br />values after recommended <br />improvements are implemented. <br />While implementation of all of <br />the recommended improvements <br />detailed in the SEIR would result <br />in acceptable LOS, certain CMP <br />intersections would be outside of <br />the City's jurisdiction and are the <br />responsibility, of the California <br />Department of Transportation <br />(Caltrans). Therefore, the City <br />cannot ensure implementation of <br />Findings 1 and 2. Changes or alterations have been required in, or <br />incorporated into the project which avoid, substantially lessen, or reduce <br />the magnitude of the significant environmental effect; however, <br />implementation of the recommended improvements are outside of the <br />City's jurisdiction. <br />Implementation of the improvement measures detailed in mitigation <br />measures MM -OZ 4.12-2 through MM -OZ 4.12-4 from the MEMU EIR and <br />newly developed mitigation measure MM -TRA -1 for these three <br />intersections would improve the level of service to acceptable operating <br />conditions. Therefore, if the improvement measures are implemented in the <br />future under specific development projects, impacts on these intersections <br />would be less than significant. However, while implementation of all of the <br />recommended improvements would result in acceptable LOS, these CMP <br />intersections would be outside of the City's jurisdiction and are the <br />responsibility of Caltrans. Therefore, the City cannot ensure implementation <br />of the suggested improvements, and impacts are considered to be <br />significant and unavoidable. <br />Metro East Mixed -Use Overlay District Expansion and Elan August 2018 <br />Development Projects 2-11 ICF 19.18 <br />Findings of Fact/Statement of Overriding Considerations <br />
