These impacts have not been mitigated by the design of the project. Parking adequate to serve the project has not been provided in the project design given the type and intensity of other uses in the immediate vicinity with which the project must share parking facilities, even though the number of off-street parking spaces proposed for the entire center including the project site meets the minimum standards established by Chapter 21.44 of the Municipal Code. The project is inconsistent with the Village Redevelopment Plan because it does not provide for or contribute to a convenient circulation system as required by Section 11-C-13 of the Plan. The project is inconsistent with the circulation element of the General Plan because it will create traffic impacts at an already constrained location which have not been mitigated by the design of the project.
