b. Traffic Mitigation Measures. When the Level of Service reaches LOS D (equal to or greater than 81$ of capacity) as defined in the City's Standard Assumptions for Traffic Studies at any intersection or intersections affected by the project, the Developer shall begin to implement feasible mitigation measures. Affected intersections shall be those located between Valley Avenue on the south and I-580 on the north, I-680 on the west and Santa Rita Road on the east, inclusive, including all interchange intersections (both sides of freeways) but excepting intersections internal to Meyer Center and Pleasanton Park, as shown on the Map of Affected Intersections dated as of February 24, 1986 on file with the City Planning Division. Mitigation measures may include roadway improvements and/or transportation systems management programs designed to alleviate the LOS D traffic condition and shall be implemented on a priority basis, as determined by the City Engineer (appealable to the City Council), beginning with the least stringent and least costly. Increasingly more stringent mitigation measures will be required and implemented by Developer in order to maintain traffic levels at better than LOS E (91$ of capacity). City agrees that to the best of it's 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 benefitting 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 existing traffic, projected traffic from other projects under construction and/or having received final City approvals, and projected traffic from the project submitted for approval. The street network assumed shall be that existing at the time the project is submitted for approval and as it will exist as a result of roadway improvements either under construction or having received 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 91$ of capacity) but can be mitigated so as to be no greater than mid-LOS D (86% of capacity), after mitigations, the City shall condition approval upon implementation, of those mitigation measures.
