Although the mitigation would eliminate one adverse impact of demolition (the loss of historical information), it does not prevent the physical loss of a historically significant resource. A proposed project would be required to undergo design review during the project application phase. For sites 6 and 21, the City Council would determine whether or not the physical historic resource would be preserved as part of the decision made on a site-specific development proposal. Design features and conditions of approval could also be established at the time of project review. Depending on the finding of the historic evaluation, additional conditions of approval could include provisions requiring: • An Architectural Resource Interpretive Display and/or Interpretive Material • Preservation and Relocation • Preservation and Reuse • Architectural Resource Salvage Opportunities These are more fully described in the FSEIR on pages 5-2 and 5-3. Impact 4.N-7: Development facilitated by the General Plan Amendment and rezoning could potentially add traffic to the regional roadway network to the point at which it would operate unacceptably under Cumulative Plus Project conditions. Traffic generated by development facilitated under the proposed Housing Element on the potential sites for rezoning would not worsen any segment projected to operate acceptably to unacceptable conditions; however, it would increase the volume to capacity ratio (V/C) by more than 0.03 on two roadway segments projected to operate at LOS F: • Sunol Boulevard (First Street) between Vineyard Avenue and Stanley Boulevard • Hopyard Road between Owens Drive and 1-580 Traffic generated by development facilitated under the Housing Element on the potential sites for rezoning would worsen LOS F conditions on Sunol Boulevard (First Street) between Vineyard Avenue and Stanley Boulevard during morning peak hours by increasing the volume to capacity ratio by more than 0.03. Additionally, the proposed Housing Element would worsen LOS F conditions on Hopyard Road between Owens Drive and 1-580 during the morning peak hour by increasing the volume to capacity ratio by more than 0.03. Based on the significance criteria, this is considered a significant impact. Widening this segment of Sunol Boulevard (First Street) is not considered feasible or desirable due to the surrounding built environment. Likewise, widening the segment of Hopyard Road is not considered feasible due to the surrounding built environment. Improvements to nearly parallel corridors could create more attractive alternative routes and provide additional capacity. Implementation of Page 7 of 12
