" .- --. (Section 15091) The City Council of the City of Arroyo Grande (the "City") propose to approve the revised Grace Bible Church Project (Planned Development Rezone Case No. 93-226). Because the proposed action constitutes an action under CEQA and the CEQA Guidelines, the City has prepared an addendum to the Environmental Impact Report (EIR) for the Halcyon Hills Subdivision. The City has determined that the Addendum EIR is complete and has been prepared in accordance with CEQA and the CEQA Guidelines and the "City of Arroyo Grande Rules and Procedures for the Implementation of the California Environmental Quality Act". I. TRAFFIC AND CIRCULATION A. Effcg: The proposed project will eliminate two mitigation measures adopted as part of the approval process for the original project. These mitigation measures dealt with project impacts on the backbone traffic system during the Sunday, mid-day peak hour. The area of concern was the Brisco Road/Highway 101 interchange. A traffic study ., prepared on 5/16/93 indicates that there is no clearly defined peak hour on Sundays, thus the original mitigation measures would not be valid. The traffic study did, however t indicate that the levels of service for two legs of the. intersection were -.. operating below acceptable standards. The City of Arroyo Grande .has completed improvements to one of these legs, mitigating the lowering of the level of service. The traffic engineer recommended that a stripping be applied to create a right turn lane for the other leg of the intersection. The church has recommended a second mitigation measure that formalizes the traffic education program that the church has already implemented to help traffic flow both at the interchange and on surrounding streets. B. Miti~ation: 1. Prior to issuance of a final certificate of occupancy, the church shall restripe the southbound portion of EI Camino Real at the intersection with Halcyon Road to provide a right turn lane. Striping shall be done according to standard engineering practice and subject to review and approval of the Director of Public Works. 2. Until the Brisco Road/Highway 10 1 interchange is reconstructed, the church shall take the following measures to minimize the impacts of church traffic: a. Publish a monthly reminder to avoid the Brisco Road/Highway 101 interchange with a map showing alternative routes. b. Dismiss it's educational programming fifteen minutes before the accompany- ing worship service, so as to disburse traffic more quickly and evenly. ------- _._~_.__.
