in a conflict between parking for one use and parking for another <br />due to differences in time of primary utilization of parking. <br />The shared use of required parking stalls between two or <br />more independent uses will not result in a conflict between <br />parking for one use and parking for another due to differences <br />in time of primary utilization of parking. The parking analysis <br />performed by the project's traffic consultant determined that, <br />based on the current parking demand of the existing tenants, <br />factoring in the proposed restaurant and medical office uses, <br />and adding a 10 percent overage factor, the project will <br />generate a demand that can adequately be served by the <br />existing parking lot. Conditions of approval have been <br />imposed to ensure that the parking demand will remain <br />constant, thus ensuring an ample supply of parking. <br />2. That the granting of a minor exception will not substantially <br />increase difficulties of vehicle maneuverability or traffic congestion <br />on the project site. <br />The granting of the minor exception will not substantially <br />increase difficulties of vehicle maneuverability or traffic <br />congestion on the project site. As the parking demand for <br />Gateway Plaza is expected to be similar to the uses <br />currently occupying the center, no additional traffic <br />congestion is anticipated from the proposed uses. Further, a <br />review of the project by the Public Works Agency did not <br />identify a need for any type of traffic mitigation for the <br />restaurant and /or medical office uses. Finally, adequate <br />traffic systems and controls are found in the vicinity of the <br />center that will mitigate any potential impact, including traffic <br />signals, stop signs and raised medians. <br />F. This project was reviewed in accordance with the Guidelines for the <br />California Environmental Quality Act. The recommendation is exempt from <br />further review pursuant to Section 15301. This Class 1 exemption allows <br />the permitting, leasing, licensing or minor alteration to existing public or <br />private structures with negligible or no expansion. As all public services <br />and facilities are available at this location to allow maximum development, <br />and the project area is not environmentally sensitive, this exemption is <br />warranted for this project. Categorical Exemption Environmental Review <br />No. 2013 -105 will be filed for this project. <br />Section 2.
