City Council), beginning with the least stringent and least costly measure. Increasingly more stringent mitigation measures shall be required and implemented by Developer in order to maintain traffic levels at better than LOS E (ninety-one percent (91%) capacity). City agrees that, to the best of its ability, it shall impose the cost of traffic mitigation measures made necessary by the cumulative impact of north Pleasanton development on a pro-rata basis over north Pleasanton properties benefiting therefrom. C. Site Specific Traffic Studies. Each site specific project submitted to'the City for final design approval shall be accompanied by a traffic study, prepared in accordance with the City's adopted Standard Assumptions for Traffic Studies and satisfactory to the City Engineer, projecting future levels of service at the above-described affected intersections. Future traffic conditions shall include: (i) existing traffic; (ii) projected traffic from other projects under construction and/or in receipt of final City approvals; and (iii) projected traffic from the project submitted for approval. The street network assumed shall be that existing at the time the site specific project is submitted for approval and as it will exist as a result of roadway improvements either under construction or in receipt of necessary final governmental approvals. (i) If the traffic study analysis shows that any affected intersection or intersections would exceed LOS D (equal to or greater than ninety-one percent (90%) of capacity), but can be mitigated so as to be no greater than mid-LOS D (eighty-six percent (86%) of capacity) after mitigation measures, the City shall condition approval upon implementation of those mitigation measures. No building permit may be issued until the mitigation measures either are under construction or, for site-specific or occupant-specific mitigation measures which are not construction-related (such as transportation systems management) the implementation programs are established. If the City Engineer finds that completion of a particular improvement not yet under construction reasonably will be completed prior to occupancy of a project building, that the improvement has received all approvals necessary from all appropriate agencies and that funding is bonded for or otherwise assured, a building permit may be issued in advance of the start of construction of the mitigation measure. (ii) If the traffic study analysis shows that any affected intersection or intersections would exceed LOS D (equal to or greater than ninety-one percent (91%) of capacity), and indicated also that there are no mitigation measures Developer can implement
