4. Potential increase in traffic hazards due to a design feature or incompatible uses Findin .The City finds that the planning process proposed for the selection and design of specific uses to be developed under the Project would reduce the risk of creating hazardous circulation conditions to the less-than-significant level: • The access to the park-and-ride lot should be located to ensure that there are adequate vehicle storage lane lengths for travel lanes on West Lagoon Road at Bemal Avenue. • The spacing of the proposed roundabouts along Pleasanton Avenue between Bernal Avenue and Valley Avenue should be adequate to insure no impacts between adjacent intersections. In addition, the distance between Bernal Avenue and the first roundabout to the south should be adequate to meet the northbound travel lane requirements at Bemal Avenue. Specific Plan, pp. 53-55; DEIR, p. 142. 5. Potential for inadequate emergency access (EVA) Finding. The City finds that the planning process for the Phase II Specific Plan area will allow for the incorporation into the circulation system of adequate provisions for emergency vehicle access such that impacts would be reduced to ales-than-significant level: • As final site plans proceed for major uses including sports fields and stadiums, the potential cultural arts center, and the potential youth/ community center, consideration should be given to the provision of EVA routes between those facilities and the basic circulation system. As part of the final site plan design for open space and other publicly accessible uses, provision for EVA to those uses should be considered. DEIR, p. 142-143. 6. Potential for inadequate provision of parking Findin .The City finds that, overall, the parking allocations provided for the Project are reasonable and would minimize the occurrence of severe parking shortages to ales-than-significant level: • When development plans proceed for uses that would be major trip amactors, estimates for the average number of people per vehicle should be used to refine the proposed parking supply for each such use. • Special events should be scheduled so that no more than one such event occurs at any given time.
