Item 3 Attachment A - October 23, 2023 Draft Minutes        Item 3: Staff Report Pg. 5  Packet Pg. 12 of 511  City Council Staff Report From: City Manager Report Type: CONSENT CALENDAR Lead Department: Police Meeting Date: November 13, 2023 Report #:2310-2103 TITLE Adoption of an Ordinance Renewing the Police Department's Military Equipment Use Policy Under AB 481; CEQA status – not a project. RECOMMENDATION Staff recommends that the City Council adopt an ordinance renewing and restating Ordinance No. 5562 (Attachment A), approving the updated Palo Alto Police Department Military Equipment Use Policy; and determining that, based on the PAPD 2023 AB 481 Annual Report (Attachment B), each type of military equipment has been used in compliance with Ordinance No. 5562. BACKGROUND Assembly Bill 481 was adopted by the California Legislature and approved by Governor Gavin Newsom in September 2021.1 It went into effect on January 1, 2022. AB 481 is designed to increase community awareness and oversight over the possession and use by local police departments of certain types of equipment that AB 481 labels as “military” equipment. It requires the City Council to provide both authorization and oversight of the equipment used. The law, codified in California Government Code sections 7070 through 7075, requires law enforcement agencies to produce a military equipment use policy that identifies and describes: each type of military equipment; its authorized use; fiscal impact; rules/laws that govern use of such equipment; training required; and mechanisms to ensure compliance with the policy. (See Gov. Code section 7070(d)). On September 27, 2022, in accordance with AB 481, the Palo Alto City Council adopted Ordinance No. 5562, approving Palo Alto Police Department Policy 716: Military Equipment.2 1 https://leginfo.legislature.ca.gov/faces/billNavClient.xhtml?bill_id=202120220AB481 2 City Council 9/27/22, https://www.cityofpaloalto.org/files/assets/public/v/1/police-department/public- information-portal/ab481-staff-report-and-ordinance-9-27-2022.pdf Item 4 Item 4 Staff Report        Item 4: Staff Report Pg. 1  Packet Pg. 13 of 511  Additionally, AB 481 requires an annual report, community engagement meeting, and annual review by the governing body for continued use of the equipment. The Department’s 2023 AB 481 Annual Report describes its use of qualifying equipment over the past year, current inventory, related costs, and plans to replace certain pieces of equipment with safer and more cost-effective alternatives in the coming year. Military Equipment Defined AB 481 defines the term “military equipment” to include many pieces of equipment that are designed exclusively for, and commonly used by, local law enforcement agencies throughout the United States. While the Palo Alto Police Department possesses some equipment as defined by AB 481, the types of equipment possessed by the Palo Alto Police Department have been possessed for years (in some cases decades) and are all designed specifically for a law enforcement (not military) application. Under AB 481, military equipment is defined as: drones and robots; command and control vehicles; military-grade vehicles for breaching (Mine Resistant Ambush Protected vehicles (MRAP) and Humvees); vehicles propelled by tracks; weaponized aircraft, vessels, or vehicles; explosive rams, slugs, or breaching devices; any .50 caliber or larger weapon or ammunition; any firearm or firearm accessory that is designed to launch explosive projectiles; “flashbang” grenades and explosive breaching tools, “tear gas,” and “pepperballs”; Taser Shockwave, microwave weapons, water cannons, and the Long Range Acoustic Device (LRAD); 40mm projectile launchers, “bean bag,” rubber bullet, and specialty impact munition (SIM) weapons; any other equipment as determined by a governing body or a state agency to require additional oversight. (See Gov. Code section 7070(c)). DISCUSSION Staff recommends that the City Council adopt the attached ordinance to renew City Ordinance 5562 to ensure that the Palo Alto Police Department will continue to have access to each of its existing pieces of qualifying equipment, and to approve the updated corresponding policies and procedures applicable to maintenance and use of the equipment. Qualifying Military Equipment Owned by Palo Alto Police Department For each type of qualifying equipment possessed by the Palo Alto Police Department, the possession and use of that equipment is governed by applicable Department policy, various statutes, and state and federal case law, in addition to AB 481. Personnel of the Palo Alto Police Department meet or exceed all California Peace Officer Standards & Training (POST) training requirements that apply to the qualifying equipment. The Department does not possess any equipment that is atypical for the region. Palo Alto possesses fewer types of this equipment than many other Bay Area agencies. Many of the pieces of qualifying equipment possessed by the Palo Alto Police Department are specifically designed for the safe resolution of critical incidents, as opposed to everyday routine patrol deployment; as such, some are used exclusively by members of the specially-trained PAPD Item 4 Item 4 Staff Report        Item 4: Staff Report Pg. 2  Packet Pg. 14 of 511  Crisis Response Unit (which includes the Special Weapons & Tactics (SWAT) Team and the Crisis Negotiation Team), who receive additional specialized training in the use of the equipment. The proposed policy outlines all qualifying equipment possessed by the Department in Section “G” on page 4 of the policy. Several pieces of qualifying equipment are designed to support community safety and criminal apprehension by: •Alternatives to the use of deadly force, such as less-lethal munitions and chemical agents available to properly certified and/or trained sworn officers to provide less-lethal force options to safely effectuate arrests of criminal suspects in limited situations. •Means of de-escalation, such as the long-range acoustic device intended to send messages to facilitate communications with subjects from a safe distance. •Means of gathering information without jeopardizing the safety of officers, bystanders, and criminal suspects, such as an unmanned aerial vehicle or robot, neither of which are possessed by the Palo Alto Police Department but that may be used by a partner law enforcement agency to safely resolve a critical incident during a mutual aid event. •Command and control vehicle (the Mobile Emergency Operations Center, or MEOC) which serves as a mobile command post at critical incidents, disasters, or special events, as well as a backup 9–1–1 dispatch center in the event the City’s main dispatch center is compromised or unavailable. The MEOC is most typically operated by the City’s Office of Emergency Services. •Diversionary devices, used exclusively by members of the Department’s SWAT team who have received specialized additional training; the equipment creates an auditory and visual diversion to facilitate the operation of tactical teams during a critical public safety incident. •One sniper rifle with associated ammunition, used exclusively by members of the Department’s SWAT team who have received specialized additional training. While not covered by AB 481, all properly trained patrol officers carry standard-issue AR-15 patrol rifles that are carried locked in patrol vehicles. In both cases, rifles allow sworn officers to address threats with greater precision at a greater distance. Annual Reporting Requirements As required by AB 481, City Ordinance 5562, and PAPD Policy 716, PAPD must prepare an annual report on the use of each type of military equipment approved in the Policy over the last year. Subsequently, the City Council must review the Ordinance, Policy, and AB 481 Annual Report and determine whether PAPD's use of the defined military equipment in the past year complied with the Policy and whether to renew the Ordinance. AB 481 requires that the Department produce an annual report containing the following elements: 1. Summary of how each type of equipment was used and the purpose of that use; Item 4 Item 4 Staff Report        Item 4: Staff Report Pg. 3  Packet Pg. 15 of 511  2. Quantity possessed of each type of equipment; 3. Annual costs for each type of equipment; 4. Summary of complaints or concerns received for each type of equipment; 5. Information disclosing violations of military equipment policies and actions taken in response, as well as the result of internal audits; and 6. Plans to acquire additional military equipment in the coming year, and the quantity sought. The table contained in the attached PAPD 2023 AB 481 Annual Report provides this information. The reporting period for this report is from the adoption of the use policy ordinance on September 27, 2022 to June 30, 2023 (the end of Fiscal Year 2023). Future reports will align with the City’s fiscal year to aid in reporting costs and planned purchases. 1. Use of Qualifying Equipment During the reporting period, the Department’s qualifying equipment has been used minimally, largely related to training and certification. In fact, the only piece of equipment to be used in an operational setting (once) was the Mobile Emergency Operations Center, which was deployed in support of a presidential visit in June 2023. It should be noted that, as these types of equipment are specialized in nature, regular training is critical to maintaining proficiency and readiness in the event of a critical incident. 2. Quantity Possessed The Department’s inventory of qualifying equipment was reduced only as a result of use for training and certification purposes. The Department plans to replenish its inventory only as necessary to maintain an adequate supply for training and potential operational use over the next year. 3. Annual Costs The only related costs during the reporting period (approximately $13,000) were attributable to the maintenance and upkeep of the Mobile Emergency Operations Center. 4. Summary of Complaints The Department did not receive any complaints or concerns related to the use of qualifying equipment. 5. Violations of Policy The Department did not identify any violations of PAPD Policy 716, Military Equipment. 6. Plans to Acquire Additional Qualifying Equipment The Department does not plan to acquire any new types of qualifying equipment. For those types of equipment where a portion of the Department’s inventory was used for training purposes, the Department plans to replenish its inventory accordingly to maintain an adequate supply for training and potential operational use over the next year, at a total cost not expected to exceed Item 4 Item 4 Staff Report        Item 4: Staff Report Pg. 4  Packet Pg. 16 of 511  $4,000. Additionally, the Department plans to retire three pieces of equipment, replacing each with a newer alternative that is safer and more cost-effective. This is expected to come at a total cost not to exceed $1,400. The City's updated Military Equipment Use Policy reflects this new equipment. In the coming year, the Mobile Emergency Operations Center is expected to require maintenance and equipment replacement with a total cost not to exceed $25,000. STAKEHOLDER ENGAGEMENT On October 11, 2023 the Police Department hosted a community meeting at the Rinconada Library branch to present its 2023 AB 481 Annual Report, in accordance with the requirements of AB 481. The meeting was publicized – via the City’s event calendar, the City’s Uplift Local publication, and the Police Department’s dedicated AB 481 webpage – and took place within 30 days of submittal of the 2023 Annual Report to the City Council and its publication on the Police Department’s AB 481 webpage. The meeting was live-streamed and a recording of the meeting was also posted on the City’s Youtube channel and the Department’s AB 481 webpage.3 POLICY IMPLICATIONS With Council renewal of the ordinance, the Police Department will continue to have access to each of its existing types of qualifying equipment (or analogous alternative), and the corresponding policies and procedures surrounding the use of the equipment will remain in effect. RESOURCE IMPACT There are no budget implications resulting from the adoption of this policy. Planned purchases articulated above are anticipated to be made using the Department’s FY 2024 adopted general fund budget. ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW Adoption of an ordinance approving a military equipment use policy is not a “project” within the meaning of CEQA.

On September 27, 2022, in accordance with AB 481, the Palo Alto City Council adopted Ordinance No. 5562, approving Palo Alto Police Department Policy 716: Military Equipment. Summary The Palo Alto Police Department (PAPD) had equipment in 5 of the 15 categories requiring reporting by AB 481 in 2022. The equipment has been used minimally, largely related to training and certification. The City has not received any complaints, audits, or policy violations regarding the use or acquisition of the equipment. PAP D has diligently followed the established Department Policy (716), ensuring transparency and accountability in its operations. Plans for future equipment purchases meeting the reporting requirements of AB 481 are minimal and mostly focused on replacing or replenishing equipment used throughout the year. Planned purchased are anticipated to be made using the Department’s general fund budget. Introduction As required by AB 481, City Ordinance 5562, and PAPD Policy 716, PAPD must prepare an annual report on the use of each type of military equipment approved in the Policy over the last year. Subsequently, the City Council must review the Ordinance, Polic y, and AB 481 Annual Report and determine whether PAPD's use of the defined military equipment in the past year compli ed with the Policy and whether to renew the Ordinance.

BACKGROUND/ANALYSIS The Finance Committee received the report closing out the committee referral from 2019 to review alternative service delivery options along with possible cost savings and required services levels for the printing function. After the review of request for proposal (RFP) results it became clear that keeping the print and mail function in-house was the best option for the City considering a number of factors as described in the staff report1 (Finance Committee Minutes2). Printing services are provided by City staff to satisfy the myriad printing needs of City departments with fast turnaround. This review was designed to consider outside providers to satisfy these needs at a cost savings. After conducting a request for proposal (RFP) process, which included two rounds of collecting cost information, staff recommends maintaining printing services in-house as the best way to meet organization needs while keeping costs within the range demonstrated in the market at this time. Recognizing that market conditions and business need vary over time, staff will periodically revisit this conclusion. 1 CMR:2307-1793 Printing Services Review - https://cityofpaloalto.primegov.com/Public/CompiledDocument?meetingTemplateId=13096&compileOutputType =1 2 Minutes: https://cityofpaloalto.primegov.com/Public/CompiledDocument?meetingTemplateId=13095&compileOutputType =1 Item 5 Item 5 Staff Report        Item 5: Staff Report Pg. 1  Packet Pg. 38 of 511  Taking into account the City’s emphasis on responsive customer service, fast turn-around and delivery, maintaining career growth opportunities, and minimizing organizational change related to printing services staff recommended and the committee approved keeping print services in-house. The recommendation reflects the balancing of these interests along with financial impacts to strive towards the goal of achieving a solution that positively affects most of these factors. These impacts are noted towards the end of the report. To develop the print shop to more comprehensively serve departments now that it is being kept in-house staff expects to complete recruitment of a vacant position and cancel the RFP process previously conducted. The motion unanimously passed as follows: MOTION: Council Member Lythcott-Haims moved, seconded by Vice Mayor Stone to recommend the City Council to direct staff to: •Close the RFP process and keep in-house Print Shop services supplemented with contracts, which continues core printing services to departments, maximum flexibility, customer service and quick turnaround •Add outside contracts for added capacity during high demand and special printing needs and managed by the Print Shop for “one-stop shop” •Bolster Print Shop with additional printing and design skills/abilities to increase value to departments •Recruit for printing experience •RFP process would be cancelled with no award •Report out status within 18 months MOTION PASSED: 3-0 FISCAL/RESOURCE IMPACT The Printing and Mailing Fund has a FY 2024 Adopted Budget of approximately $1.5 million made up of $263,000 in salary and benefits costs for 2.10 FTE and $1.2 million in non-salary costs. The expenses include postage costs of $300,000 and other expenses of $265,000. Since these costs are not related to the printing function, they can be removed from the total to determine the approximate cost of the printing service even though the two are joined. When this is done the resulting amount for the print shop is around $1.1 million when also considering the allocation to departments. It’s important to consider the mailing function and related costs since those are costs that will remain no matter what’s done with printing, and they share staff. Should the City stop providing print services in-house, at minimum, one staffing resource would be necessary to retain to continue mailing functions. Item 5 Item 5 Staff Report        Item 5: Staff Report Pg. 2  Packet Pg. 39 of 511  STAKEHOLDER ENGAGEMENT This project involved the input from City departments that use the print shop. Printing vendors were contacted to provide proposals and other cities provided information on their own printing services. ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW This activity is not a project under California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) as defined in CEQA Guidelines, section 15378, because it has no potential for resulting in either a direct or reasonably foreseeable indirect physical change in the environment.

CEQA Status - exempt under CEQA Guidelines Section 15061. RECOMMENDATION Staff recommends that Council adopt a resolution to authorize the City Manager or their designee to: 1. Negotiate and execute a purchase order(s) with a to-be-determined vendor(s) in an amount not to exceed $585,000 for the purchase of 13 new fully electric sedans; and 2. Negotiate and execute a purchase order(s) in an amount not to exceed $400,000 with a to-be-determined vendor(s) for the purchase of 5 new fully electric vans. BACKGROUND The Vehicle and Equipment Use, Maintenance, and Replacement policy section 4-01 provides for the on-going replacement of City fleet vehicles and equipment. Replacements are scheduled using guidelines based on age, mileage accumulation, and obsolescence. Policy 4-01 prescribes a replacement interval of 10 years/100,000 miles for compact sedans and vans. Over the last several years, the City has experienced lack of availability, increased pricing, and minimal ordering windows due to supply chain constraints in the auto industry that have impeded efforts to replace vehicles in a timely manner. Ordering windows have often closed faster than staff is able to bring a purchase order to Council for approval. This report recommends that Council adopt a resolution (Attachment A) delegating the final purchase approval of 18 vehicles included in the Fiscal Year 2024 replacement plan to the City Manager, as provided for in Palo Alto Municipal Code (PAMC) sections 2.30.250 and 2.30.295 (b), in the interest of efficient and expedited purchases that align with the goals and objectives of the Council and City policy. Item 6 Item 6 Staff Report        Item 6: Staff Report Pg. 1  Packet Pg. 41 of 511  For Fiscal Year 2024, Council approved an all-electric vehicle replacement program, with the exception of Police pursuit-rated vehicles. With the purchase of these replacement vehicles, the City’s electric vehicle fleet will increase from 14 to 32 vehicles. ANALYSIS Project Description The City’s fleet includes 13 Compressed Natural Gas (CNG) Honda Civics that meet or exceed the City’s replacement criteria and that are programmed for replacement in Fiscal Year 2024. The vehicles are assigned to multiple divisions, with eight of these vehicles designated as shared use vehicles for the Community Services, Public Works, and Fire Departments. Two vehicles are assigned to the Planning and Development Services Department for code enforcement and building inspections, and three are assigned to the Fire Department for fire inspections. The fleet includes five (5) Ford E-350 cargo vans that meet or exceed the City’s replacement criteria and that are programmed for replacement in Fiscal Year 2024. Two have CNG engines and three have gasoline engines. Two vehicles are assigned to the Public Works Department and three are assigned to the Utilities Department. Procurement Process Staff plans to follow the City’s procurement regulations as outlined in the PAMC. Processes authorized may utilize a cooperative purchasing agreement, such as Sourcewell, in lieu of conducting competitive solicitations, allowed under PAMC section 2.30.360 (j), and/or may include formal solicitations as would otherwise be required by PAMC section 2.30.310 (b). A solicitation was conducted for the purchase of thirteen (13) 2023 Chevrolet Bolt EUV vehicles. A single bid received was for an amount below the $585,000 authority staff is requesting and staff is following the process to develop a purchase order for the vehicles. However, staff has not conducted a solicitation for the purchase of five (5) fully electric vans and the procurement method for the vans has not yet been determined. The open period window is often short so this delegation to the City Manager allows staff to move quickly with the dealer to secure the vehicles whether through bidding or a cooperative purchasing agreement process. FISCAL/RESOURCE IMPACT Funding was approved for the purchase of these 18 vehicles in the Vehicle Replacement Fund Scheduled Vehicle and Equipment Replacement – Fiscal Year 2024 project (VR-24000). $45,000 was budgeted for the replacement of each Honda Civic, and $80,000 was budgeted for the replacement of each Ford van, for a total budgeted amount of $985,000. STAKEHOLDER ENGAGEMENT Requests for vehicle replacements are presented to the Fleet Review Committee (FRC) for approval during the development of the proposed budget and any deviation from these plans is Item 6 Item 6 Staff Report        Item 6: Staff Report Pg. 2  Packet Pg. 42 of 511  also reviewed by the Committee. The FRC is comprised of executive leadership representatives from the Public Works and Administrative Services Departments and the City Manager’s Office. Additionally, Fleet staff review proposed vehicle replacements with the departments using the vehicles.

RECOMMENDATION Staff recommends that the City Council approve and authorize the City Manager, or their designee, to execute the Second Amendment to Tenant Work Letter by and between the City of Palo Alto and Palo Alto History Museum to memorialize the current project schedule and funding information. BACKGROUND In December 2022, Council approved a 40-year lease with the Palo Alto History Museum for use of the Roth Building located at 300 Homer Avenue1. The lease contemplated construction of various tenant improvements, with additional details and obligations to be documented in a “mutually agreeable Tenant Work Letter.” At the April 17, 2023 meeting, the Council approved the Tenant Work Letter2. The Tenant Work Letter was fully executed on April 20, 2023, and the Palo Alto History Museum (the Museum) subsequently assumed responsibility for the property. The Tenant Work Letter was amended and approved by the Council on September 5, 2023 to revise certain insurance requirements for Palo Alto History Museum and its general contractor, Vance Brown, Inc.3 Now, updates are necessary to Attachments A and B of the Tenant Work Letter and require approval by the Council. 1 CMR 15017 Approval of Lease for the Roth Building (300 Homer Ave.) https://cityofpaloalto.primegov.com/Public/CompiledDocument?meetingTemplateId=8715&compileOutputType= 1 2 CMR 2303-1108 Approval of Tenant Work Letter for Lease of 300 Homer Avenue Roth Building https://cityofpaloalto.primegov.com/meeting/document/1853.pdf?name=Item%2013%20Staff%20Report 3 CMR 2308-1885 Approval of First Amendment to Tenant Work Letter for the Roth Building at 300 Homer Avenue https://cityofpaloalto.primegov.com/meeting/document/2863.pdf?name=Item%204%20Staff%20Report Item 7 Item 7 Staff Report        Item 7: Staff Report Pg. 1  Packet Pg. 46 of 511  Attachment A of the Tenant Work Letter is being updated to reflect the final Guaranteed Maximum Price (GMP) for the Construction Contract and to adjust the amount of the Museum Contribution commensurate with any adjustment to the GMP. Attachment B is being revised and updated to ensure the Project Schedule reflects the most current as-planned schedule available. ANALYSIS Attachment A details the Parties’ respective funding commitments for construction on the Project. Prior to execution of the Tenant Work Letter, the Museum estimated the cost to construct the project based on the construction contract’s GMP of $11,513,075 and $335,750 in soft costs (such as permit and utility fees) for a total of $11,848,825. The Tenant Work Letter expressly acknowledged the need for a project funding update to reflect the final GMP, with revised funding commitments to be adopted by the City and Museum. The contract sum within the construction contract, dated May 22, 2023, was updated to $12,756,281 with $372,011 in soft costs for a total of $13,128,292. The increase amount is attributed to rising cost over that time and updated pricing provided by subcontractors. There have been a few change orders since the execution of the construction contract, including $246,694 for window retrofit work and $38,855 for delays, but those amounts will reportedly be absorbed by the contingency that was previously budgeted at $1,159,662. The Museum’s funding commitment has increased from $1,828,825 to $3,108,292, based on information provided by the Museum on May 18, 2023. Funds to be used from the approved $3 million HUD Grant will need to be increased from $978,825 to $2,258,292 to cover the $1,279,467 increase in costs as stipulated in the current terms of the TWL (Section 4.4). Similarly, the Tenant Work Letter requires the parties to revise and update the project schedule to reflect the planned schedule for construction. Attachment B constitutes the planned schedule for construction of the Project, dated September 9, 2023. Construction was originally expected to start in July 2023, but commenced on September 11, 2023 after Council’s approval of the First Amendment which ensured the Museum had the required insurance coverage for construction, a pre-construction requirement, and substantial completion is currently expected by December 30, 2024. FISCAL/RESOURCE IMPACT Approval of the Second Amendment will not result in any fiscal/resource impact to the City. The City’s contribution to the project remains at $10,020,000 as shown in Table 1 below. As noted in the Tenant Work Letter, the Museum was approved for a $3 million HUD Grant. The HUD Funds component of the Museum Contribution has increased by $1,279,467, from $978,825 to $2,258,292 and these funds will flow through the Museum’s financials, not the City’s. The Museum intends to retain the remainder of the grant for the Museum buildout, but under the Item 7 Item 7 Staff Report        Item 7: Staff Report Pg. 2  Packet Pg. 47 of 511  terms of the Tenant Work Letter will commit those funds to the Rehabilitation Project should there be further cost increases.

BACKGROUND Section 53087.6 of the California Government Code1 authorizes an appointed city auditor to “maintain a whistleblower hotline to receive calls from persons who have information regarding fraud, waste, or abuse by local government employees” after obtaining approval of the City Council prior to establishing the whistleblower hotline. In May 2013, the City Council adopted the “City Employee Fraud, Waste, and Abuse Hotline Administration Policy” (“Hotline Policy”) after an 18-month pilot program to establish an employee-only fraud, waste, and abuse hotline. The revised Hotline Policy was approved by the City Council on June 5, 2017. During the Policy and Services Committee meeting on October 10, 20232, the council members approved the proposed changes to the Fraud, Waste, and Abuse Hotline Administration Policy after amending the wording of the proposed changes as described in the Analysis section below. MOTION: Council Member Veenker moved, seconded by Council Member Lauing that the Fraud, Waste, and Abuse Hotline Administration Policy be amended as discussed. MOTION PASSED: 3-0 1 Section 53087.6 of the California Government Code https://leginfo.legislature.ca.gov/faces/codes_displaySection.xhtml?sectionNum=53087.6&highlight=true&lawCod e=GOV&keyword=53087.6F 2 https://cityofpaloalto.primegov.com/Portal/Meeting?meetingTemplateId=12174 Item 8 Item 8 Staff Report        Item 8: Staff Report Pg. 1  Packet Pg. 59 of 511  3 4 0 8 ANALYSIS The Hotline Policy changes the Office of the City Auditor has proposed and the P&S Committee amended include: •Revising the alternative members of the Hotline Review Committee (consisting of City Manager, City Attorney, and City Auditor) from “Assistant City Manager and Principal Attorney” to the replacement Committee member who is “selected from a list of 2-3 outside parties, at least one of which is an attorney, with whom the City Council has contracted on call services” to ensure the alternative member’s objectivity when one of the Committee members is alleged to be involved in fraud, waste, or abuse. •Adding a restriction of a Hotline Review Committee member’s access to the City’s internal hotline complaint system if it involves a hotline committee member. o The Office of the City Auditor will review the system access controls to ensure that they support the reporting process. •Adding a link to report to the California Fair Political Practices Commission when employees are reporting incidents involving members of the City Council. FISCAL/RESOURCE IMPACT City Manager’s Office, City Attorney’s Office, and City Council will potentially incur consultant costs to comply with these revisions, however, it is anticipated these costs can be absorbed within existing resource levels. STAKEHOLDER ENGAGEMENT The Office of the City Auditor will work with City Manager and City Attorney to administer the Hotline in accordance with the Hotline Policy. ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW Council action on this item is not a project as defined by CEQA because the Auditor task orders are administrative activities that will not result in direct or indirect physical changes in the environment.

Objective The primary objective of the City of Palo Alto Fraud, Waste, or Abuse Hotline (“hotline”) is to provide an anonymous mechanism for employees to report fraud, waste, or abuse that directly relates to the City of Palo Alto. City employees who have specific information that other City employees or contractors have engaged in fraud, waste, or abuse are encouraged to report such information through the normal chain of command, which includes their immediate supervisor, manager, department head, Human Resources, and the City Manager’s Office (CMO); or to the Office of the City Auditor. However, there may be certain circumstances where an employee believes it is necessary to remain anonymous or prefers for other reasons to report directly through the hotline. The hotline provides a method whereby employees can choose to remain anonymous when reporting such incidents over the phone to a third- party interviewer or via an anonymous web form. The City believes that anonymity is a last resort and should only be used after other reporting methods have been attempted or when the employee has a reasonable good faith belief that it is necessary. Frivolous anonymous calls can undermine the effectiveness of the hotline. All reports made regarding fraud, waste, or abuse should be made seriously and with due professional care. 2. Structure The hotline is hosted by an independent, third-party provider (vendor) contracted by the City. The vendor provides the option for callers to provide information over the hotline anonymously. The vendor issues an incident report for each call and submits the incident reports for review and referral. The vendor provides offsite hotline coverage 24/7/365 and live interviewers who obtain the information deemed necessary to verify and process the complaints. This information is then transcribed into an incident report that is housed in the vendor-hosted case management system. 3. Hotline Review Committee The Hotline Review Committee (“Committee”) is composed of the following members or their designees: the City Auditor, the City Manager, and the City Attorney. The alternative member of the Committee, when an incident report involves the City Manager or the City Attorney, shall be selected from a list of 2-3 outside parties, at least one of which is an attorney, with whom the City Council has contracted on call to serve as the replacement Committee member. The Committee meets as needed to review all activity related to the hotline. The objectives of the Committee are to review all incident reports, determine whether an incident report should be investigated, assign incident reports to the appropriate department unit, or external investigator for investigation, ensure that incident reports that are assigned for investigation are adequately investigated, and address any trends in activity or weaknesses in City policies that require corrective action to be taken. Duplicate reports or reports that do not suggest fraud, waste, or abuse may be closed without further investigation. 4. Case Management The vendor’s online case management system allows for all hotline reports to be recorded, updated and tracked in one centralized system to ensure that all reports are addressed appropriately and that the outcomes are consistent. All incident reports are maintained in the secured case management system. The specified department case manager should periodically update the Office of the City Auditor regarding the status of the investigation. The Office of the City Auditor administers the case management Item 8 Attachment A - Hotline Policy with proposed changes 2023-10-10        Item 8: Staff Report Pg. 5  Packet Pg. 63 of 511  Page 4 of 7 Updated: October 2023 CITY OF PALO ALTO Fraud, Waste, and Abuse Administration Policy system, and updates it to reflect the investigation status and outcomes. User access is limited to the Hotline Review Committee members and the hotline administrator in the Office of the City Auditor. If an incident report involves any of the Committee members, s/he will not have access to the City’s internal hotline complaint system. 5. Case Dissemination Within 24 hours after entering a call as an incident report and logging it into the case management system, the vendor sends the report electronically to the appropriate contacts at the Office of the City Auditor for preliminary review. The Office of the City Auditor will triage the report to determine if immediate action may be necessary. If immediate action appears necessary, the Office of the City Auditor will contact the Hotline Review Committee, which will decide whether to initiate an investigation. Incident reports requiring immediate action include those involving possible fraud, waste, or abuse by City executives, or other incidents based on the judgment of the Hotline Review Committee. All other cases will be referred to the Hotline Review Committee to review. These reviews should occur within five business days. If an incident report involves one or more members of the Hotline Review Committee, those individuals shall be excluded from any decisions or activities related to the review and/or investigation of that incident report. If this occurs, an Assistant City Manager or the Principal the replacement Committee member who is selected from a list of 2-3 outside parties, at least one of which is an attorney, with whom the City Council has contracted on callAttorney either the Chief Assistant City Attorney or (as appropriate under the circumstances) will act as the third alternative member of the Hotline Review Committee to ensure there is appropriate oversight of the review and investigation of the incident report. Because the members of the Hotline Review Committee are appointed by the City Council, the hotline will not accept incidents involving members of the City Council. Employees reporting these types of complaints will be referred to the California Fair Political Practices Commission (by filing a complaint via Electronic Complaint System available in their web site at https://www.fppc.ca.gov/enforcement/file-a- complaint.html), the District Attorney’s Office, or other appropriate outside agency, depending upon the nature of the complaint. The Hotline Review Committee will determine the best approach for investigating an incident report and an appropriate timeline for completing the investigation. When the Hotline Review Committee determines that an incident report should be forwarded to a department for investigation, it will be forwarded to the department director, who may investigate it himself or herself, or assign it to another person in the department for investigation. Hotline complaints that allege criminal activity will be forwarded to the Palo Alto Police Department for consideration for investigation in consultation with the Hotline Review Committee. Investigations should include techniques appropriate for the alleged fraud, waste, or abuse, such as interviews with witnesses, technical experts, and the subjects of the investigation; and examination of documents such as files, e- mails, contracts, vouchers, payroll records, and reports. The director is responsible for keeping the Hotline Review Committee updated regarding the status of the investigation. When the investigation is completed, the director will forward a copy of the completed report to the Hotline Review Committee, which will review the report to determine that the investigative steps were appropriate and that the recommended outcome is sufficiently supported and formally close the incident report.

As the hotline administrator, the Office of the City Auditor will be responsible for:  Disseminating incident reports to the appropriate department or external investigator for investigation, as determined by the Hotline Review Committee, and providing the timeline for completing the investigation.  Monitoring the status of all incident reports referred to other departments, units, or an external investigator for investigation and their outcomes.  Conducting an independent investigation of reported incidents when appropriate.  Monitoring the timeliness of department responses based on timeframes established by the Hotline Review Committee.  Closing incident reports in the case management system after the Hotline Review Committee’s final review. 6. Coordination With Human Resources The Hotline Review Committee will coordinate with the Human Resources Department to identify the types of issues that are more appropriately categorized as “personnel” issues and should be referred to the Human Resources Department for resolution rather than investigated through the hotline process. 7. Escalation An incident is designated for escalation if there is an imminent or significant threat of actual harm to employees, customers, or operations. When a report is designated for escalation by the vendor, they shall immediately call the appropriate designated contact(s) provided by the City. Escalation contacts include the members of the Hotline Review Committee and their designees. 8. Reporting The case management system allows for customized reporting of incidents reported to the hotline. The Office of the City Auditor will provide a summary report of complaints received by the hotline to the City Council in the Office of the City Auditor’s quarterly reports. The summaries will generally include: • The number of reports made to the hotline and their status (i.e., open or closed). • The general types of complaints received. • Any trends in the types of complaints received. • A general description of corrective action taken by City management as a result of a complaint received. 9. Discipline If an investigation concludes that fraud, waste, or abuse occurred, the City Manager, or designee, shall take appropriate corrective action to resolve the issue and prevent recurrence. Corrective action could include, for example, disciplinary action, training, new or revised procedures, reorganization or reassignments, referrals to outside agencies (such as the District Attorney, Fair Political Practices Commission, or other enforcement agency), or amendment or termination of contracts. 10.

Additionally, no reprisal shall be taken against any employee who participates in any manner in the investigation and disposition of a hotline incident report. This Prohibition Against Retaliation is a statement of City policy. It is not intended to and shall not create a private right of action enforceable in state or federal court on behalf of any person, against the City or any employee, for equitable relief or damages. 11. Terms and Definitions Under California law, the term "fraud, waste, or abuse" means any activity by a local agency or employee that is undertaken in the performance of the employee's official duties, including activities deemed to be outside the scope of his or her employment, that:  Is in violation of any local, state, or federal law or regulation relating to: o Corruption o Malfeasance o Bribery o Theft of government property o Fraudulent claims o Fraud o Coercion o Conversion o Malicious prosecution o Misuse of government property o Willful omission to perform duty  Is economically wasteful  Involves gross misconduct 12. Security of Incident Reports and Associated Reports, Working Papers, and Other Related Documents  Incident reports, associated reports, working papers, and other documents referring to or describing incident reports, which are received either through the hotline, by mail, or e-mail shall remain confidential to the extent allowed by law.  Incident reports and associated case numbers shall only be provided to individuals who are responsible and essential for conducting the investigation or reviewing of the incident report. These individuals are required to hold such information in confidence, to the extent allowed by law.  The confidentiality of all incident reports, associated reports, working papers, and other documents shall be maintained at all times by the City Auditor and investigating/reviewing departments, who shall take such measures as they determine are reasonable and necessary to maintain the confidentiality of such information and documents, to the extent allowed by law.  City Staff responsible for reviewing/investigating incident reports can make investigative disclosures of information contained in an incident report to the extent necessary for obtaining additional information relevant to the investigation.  The Hotline Review Committee is authorized to determine the distribution or release of any Item 8 Attachment A - Hotline Policy with proposed changes 2023-10-10        Item 8: Staff Report Pg. 8  Packet Pg. 66 of 511  Page 7 of 7 Updated: October 2023 CITY OF PALO ALTO Fraud, Waste, and Abuse Administration Policy incident reports, associated reports, working papers, other documents and correspondence associated thereto, in accordance with the California Public Records Act and other applicable law.  The City Council may, at their discretion, authorize the release of information relative to substantiated incident reports. 13. Custody of Investigation Documents The City Auditor shall maintain custody of incident reports, associated reports, working papers, emails, and all other pertinent information regarding any investigations of incident reports. Other parties involved in the investigation shall also retain their own documentation. All such documents shall be retained and or disposed of in accordance with applicable document retention policies of the City. 14. Public Requests for Information Regarding All Incident Reports All requests for information concerning any incident report shall be directed to the City Auditor for a response. The City Auditor, with the guidance of the Hotline Review Committee, shall respond to such requests as permissible and in accordance with applicable state law and City policy, rules and regulations. Departments shall notify the City Auditor of any Public Records Act or other requests for information or documents regarding incident reports received through the City Auditor or the hotline. 15. Filing of Malicious Complaints The City will not tolerate malicious complaints. The processing of a complaint/concern requires staff time and attention regardless of its appropriateness. Complaints/concerns will not be considered malicious merely because they are determined to be unsubstantiated. A malicious complaint/concern is one that is made in bad faith or with knowledge that the complaint entirely lacks any factual basis. Malicious complaints may result in disciplinary action in accordance with applicable City policies and procedures, up to and including termination from employment. 16. Advertising the Hotline The Office of the City Auditor will periodically communicate to City staff information regarding the hotline. The communication may be in the form of printed materials, including posters, flyers, and/or wallet cards, or via a citywide email to employees.

Item 8 Attachment A - Hotline Policy with proposed changes 2023-10-10        Item 8: Staff Report Pg. 9  Packet Pg. 67 of 511  City Council Staff Report From: City Manager Report Type: ACTION ITEMS Lead Department: Planning and Development Services Meeting Date: November 13, 2023 Report #:2310-2115 TITLE Public Hearing: Adoption of Resolution Amending the Land Use Element of the Palo Alto Comprehensive Plan and an Ordinance Implementing Program 1.1A and 1.1B of the Housing Element, Including: 1) New Chapter 18.14: Housing Incentives, and 2) Modifications to Base Zoning Districts Throughout Title 18. CEQA Status: An Addendum to the City’s Comprehensive Plan Environmental Impact Report was Prepared for the Subject Comp Plan and Municipal Code Amendments. RECOMMENDATION Staff recommends that Council: 1. Adopt a resolution amending the Palo Alto Comprehensive Plan Land Use Element (Attachment A); and, 2. Adopt an ordinance amending Title 18 (Zoning) of the Palo Alto Municipal Code (PAMC) (Attachment B) to implement Program 1.1A and 1.1B of the Housing Element regarding the Adequate Sites Inventory. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Program 1.1 in the recently adopted Housing Element necessitates certain amendments to the Land Use Element of the Comprehensive Plan and Zoning Ordinance. The proposed zoning amendments include a new chapter in Title 18 to consolidate existing and proposed housing incentive programs. Consistent with Program 1.1, the proposed zoning amendments rezone certain Housing Element opportunity sites to modify densities and other development standards that support multifamily housing at capacities identified in the Housing Element. Program 1.1A also includes higher-density site-specific zoning regulations for Stanford-owned properties along El Camino Real near Page Mill Road, and at Pasteur Drive and Sand Hill Road. According to Housing Element Law, the rezonings in Program 1.1A to meet the RHNA must be completed within one year of the required Housing Element adoption date (i.e., by January 31, 2024). According to the adopted Housing Element, the City is also committed to completing Program 1.1B (GM and ROLM rezonings) by January 2024. Item 9 Item 9 Staff Report        Item 9: Staff Report Pg. 1  Packet Pg. 68 of 511  Attachment B represents amendments to Title 18 in the form of a new chapter, 18.14: Housing Incentives and revisions to base district regulations throughout Title 18. Changes include rezonings to allow multifamily housing as a permitted use, increases in residential density/FAR, and modifications to other development standards, as specified in the Housing Element to meet the RHNA and sites inventory estimates. These proposed amendments necessitate changes to base district regulations in existing zoning chapters (18.12, 18.13, 18.16, 18.18, 18.20, and 18.28); these changes are shown in underline/strikeout. Additionally, the report and ordinance suggest expanding the policy recommendation for Program 1.1A to extend proposed rezoning on El Camino Real to create an expanded Focus Area on El Camino Real between Page Mill Road and Matadero Avenue. These proposed changes would be formalized during the next revision to the Housing Element but are being advanced as part of these zoning amendments given the January 31, 2024 deadline. For expediency, to meet the state-mandated timeline for adoption, the proposed housing Focus Area on El Camino Real does not include additional sites either further south or on the east side of El Camino Real as was commented upon at the October 4, 2023 Council study session meeting. Council may direct further study in this regard if there is interest to do so. BACKGROUND Housing Element Adoption & HCD Review On May 8, 2023, the City Council adopted the 2023-2031 Housing Element. The Element aims to implement State Housing Element law, including meeting the RHNA and fulfilling AFFH objectives. More information about the Housing Element can be found at the project website: www.paloaltohousingelement.com. The City sent the adopted Housing Element to HCD for review on June 7, 2023. On August 3, 2023, the City received a comment letter from HCD requesting modifications to the Housing Element prior to HCD certification. In particular, members of the public and HCD have called for additional analysis of the Sites Inventory to ensure and demonstrate that sites are viable for redevelopment during the 8-year planning cycle, including that existing uses are likely to cease. To address these comments, City staff and the Housing Element consultant are exploring changes to the Sites Inventory, including adding sites to the inventory and increasing densities. Given the deadline for this rezoning effort, City staff are daylighting these proposed changes as part of the Program 1.1 rezoning task. The next version of the Housing Element will formalize updates to the Sites Inventory, Program 1.1, and additional analysis to demonstrate viability of these sites. The PTC can expect to review the revised Element before the end of the year. Housing Element Program 1.1 Program 1.1 represents the City’s rezoning program to meet the "Adequate Sites Inventory” Item 9 Item 9 Staff Report        Item 9: Staff Report Pg. 2  Packet Pg. 69 of 511  required under State law and is excerpted below. This program necessitates amendments to the Zoning Ordinance to modify density and other development standards. These rezonings must accommodate multifamily housing at the capacity levels prescribed in the Housing Element. In summary, Program 1.1 requires the following zoning amendments on Housing Element opportunity sites: •Rezoning opportunity sites in the R-1, ROLM, RP, GM, and PF districts to allow multiple- family housing as a permitted use; •Up-zoning opportunity sites to increase residential densities and/or FARs, including on Stanford Lands; •Modifications to other development standards on opportunity sites to ensure that development is feasible at current and planned densities (e.g., landscape coverage); and, •Statutory requirements that residential uses occupy at least 50 percent of the total floor area of a mixed-use project on an opportunity site Program 1.1 calls for specific zoning regulations for three Stanford University-owned properties. On these sites, the Housing Element inventory targeted specific unit counts and called for higher FAR and taller height limits in order to fulfill those targets (see excerpt from the Housing Element Program 1.1A in Figure 1). As noted above, the geographic reach of Program 1.1 is proposed for expansion on El Camino Real to create a targeted Focus Area for rezoning. Palo Alto Housing Element (June 2023), Excerpt from Program 1.1A, p. 5-5 Item 9 Item 9 Staff Report        Item 9: Staff Report Pg. 3  Packet Pg. 70 of 511  Planning & Transportation Commission Review The PTC held a study session on September 13, 20231,2 to review the draft Comprehensive Plan and Zoning Ordinance amendments. Based on the PTC’s feedback, City staff and consultants revised the draft Zoning Ordinance. On October 11, 20233 the PTC reviewed the revised ordinance and made a recommendation to the City Council to approve the Comprehensive Plan and Zoning Ordinance amendments. The PTC generally supported the staff comprehensive plan and zoning ordinance recommendations making a few discrete motions that resulted in the following additional recommendations: •For the El Camino Real Housing Focus Area, require a 20-foot setback adjacent to the R- 1 zoning district and extend the height transition zone to 35’ height within 100 feet of the R-1 property line and 45’ height between 100’ and 150’, (5-1, Hechtman). o NOTE: The attached ordinance has been updated to reflect the PTC recommendation, however, a representative of the Creekside Inn site noted concerns about doubling the existing ten foot setback and the modification to the transitional height. Staff continues to support a transitional height that would allow buildings to reach 35 feet in height within 75 feet of an R-1 zoned property and 45 feet between 75 and 150 feet from the R-1 zoned property, while also maintaining a ten foot setback. If the Council concurs with staff’s perspective, a modification to the attached ordinance would be required. •Modify a state-mandated requirement in new Chapter 18.14 (Housing Incentives) to increase the minimum residential floor area requirement from 50% to 65% for mixed use projects on opportunity sites identified as meeting lower income households, (4-3, Hechtman, Lu, Templeton). o NOTE: The attached ordinance has been updated to reflect the PTC recommendation with a slight adjustment changing 65% to two-thirds (66%) to be consistent with the threshold used for housing accountability projects; the PTC recommendation and its slight staff adjustment do not conflict with state law. Notwithstanding this change to the ordinance. The PTC argument in favor of the change is that these are sites where we are anticipating housing and by increasing the threshold that focus is reinforced and, if developed, may have reduce the jobs/housing imbalance. An argument against the change is that 1 PTC staff report, dated September 13, 2023: https://www.cityofpaloalto.org/files/assets/public/v/1/agendas- minutes-reports/agendas-minutes/planning-and-transportation-commission/2023/ptc-09.13-Study-Session.pdf. 2 PTC summary meeting minutes, dated September 13, 2023: https://www.cityofpaloalto.org/files/assets/public/v/2/agendas-minutes-reports/agendas-minutes/planning-and- transportation-commission/2023/ptc-9.13.2023-summary-2.pdf. 3 PTC staff report, dated October 11, 2023: https://www.cityofpaloalto.org/files/assets/public/v/1/agendas- minutes-reports/agendas-minutes/planning-and-transportation-commission/2023/ptc-10.11-title-18- amendments.pdf. Item 9 Item 9 Staff Report        Item 9: Staff Report Pg. 4  Packet Pg. 71 of 511  commercial floor area can be used to fund housing projects and the higher threshold may discourage a property owner from redeveloping an existing commercial site toward housing. Staff does not have a strong opinion about this modification but generally supports retention of the state-established 50% residential floor area threshold. To restore the 50% threshold, a change to the attached ordinance would be required. •The PTC requested staff to research minimum density standards to discourage townhome development within the GM and ROLM zoning districts in favor of higher density apartment buildings (4-3, Summa, Lu, Templeton). o NOTE: Staff previously increased the minimum density for these sites from 20 to 25. Based on the PTC’s feedback, staff has adjusted the minimum density standard to 40, to address this concern. •The PTC expressed concern about the potential loss of property tax revenues for Stanford-owned properties if developed for affiliate housing and lost revenues are not accounted through some other funding mechanism to support impacts on the City, school district and other services (5-1, Hechtman). o NOTE: This request requires more analysis than can be accommodated within the timeline to complete these amendments, however, staff has modified the attached ordinance to prohibit Stanford affiliate housing on the housing opportunity sites adjacent to El Camino Real. The Pasteur site was previously identified in the adopted Housing Element as designated for affiliate housing. Accordingly, there is no restriction in the attached ordinance about affiliate housing for that location. There were other non-substantive refinements to the ordinance requested by the PTC that were incorporated into the attached ordinance. City Council Review On October 4, 2023, the City Council received a preview of the draft ordinance, in particular to review the idea of a Focus Area on El Camino Real between Page Mill Road and Matadero Avenue, where higher densities and heights could be achieved. The Council had little time to consider to the staff report, which was released shortly before the meeting but there were some initial comments expressed by more than one councilmember including: •Support for creek protection at the Creekside Inn site; •Interest in careful site planning at adjacencies to the R-1 zoning district; •Concern about a potential lack of property tax revenue at Stanford affiliate housing; •Desire for transportation demand management measures and bicycle parking requirements to balance the proposed reduction in minimum parking requirements; and Item 9 Item 9 Staff Report        Item 9: Staff Report Pg. 5  Packet Pg. 72 of 511  •Interest in extending the development standards proposed in the El Camino Real Focus Area to the opposite side of the street. Regarding the last two comments, staff appreciates there may be an opportunity to extend the El Camino Real Housing Focus Area south and potentially to the east side of the street. Staff has even been approached by interested property owners since the Council’s study session. However, given the state-mandated timeline to complete the subject zoning amendments by January 31, 2024, staff recommends completing the attached ordinance and, if there is Council interest, provide direction to staff to revisit further expansions of the Focus Area after certification of the Housing Element. Moreover, staff anticipates bringing the North Ventura Coordinated Area Plan to Council for final adoption in spring next year. Changes to direction already received would further delay that work, cost more money to pay for plan revisions and may require the City to repay the grant money received for NVCAP project. The interest in transportation demand management measures is also a distinct effort to codify specific standards that balance the reduction in parking requirements for these Focus Area sites. However, staff has included in the attached ordinance, subsequent to the PTC’s review, a requirement for a transportation demand management plan if Focus Area sites are developed with less parking than would typically be required by the municipal code (outside of the Focus Area). As an initial step, until a more specific program can be presented to the PTC and Council, staff has included a requirement for free transit passes for residents, when parking is reduced by 50% or more (compared to otherwise applicable citywide parking requirements) and a provision for 20% of the required bicycle parking spaces to have outlets appropriately spaced for e-bike charging. The City Council will have an opportunity to direct staff to focus on these two initiatives when it has its priority setting discussion and reviews Council objectives for the next fiscal year. ANALYSIS Comprehensive Plan Amendments The recently adopted Housing Element of the Palo Alto Comprehensive Plan identifies planned changes to uses and densities which must be updated in the Land Use Element of the Comprehensive Plan to ensure consistency within the Comprehensive Plan and between the Comprehensive Plan and proposed zoning. Attachment A annotates proposed amendments to the Land Use Element of the Comprehensive Plan to update FAR ranges and allow multi-family uses, consistent with the Housing Element and proposed changes to the Zoning Ordinance. Zoning Ordinance Amendments The rezonings in Program 1.1A to meet the RHNA must be completed within one year of the required Housing Element adoption date (i.e., by January 31, 2024). According to the adopted Housing Element, the City is also committed to completing Program 1.1B (GM and ROLM rezonings) by January 31, 2024. Attachment B aims to codify Program 1.1A and 1.1B in the Zoning Ordinance. It also consolidates a range of housing programs that will support Item 9 Item 9 Staff Report        Item 9: Staff Report Pg. 6  Packet Pg. 73 of 511  implementation of the Housing Element into a single chapter. Basic contents of the ordinance are described below. Section 18.14.020: Housing Opportunity Sites This section modifies base district development standards on Housing Element opportunity sites. Regulations for these sites are those specified in the base district regulations, except as modified by this proposed chapter. In zones that regulate residential density, primarily the RM zones, these modifications increase maximum residential density limits consistent with Appendix D of the Housing Element (Attachment C). All zoning districts regulate FAR, so amendments also modify FAR limits. This section also modifies other development standards that were identified as constraints to development in Chapter 4 of the Housing Element (see excerpt in Attachment D). For most districts, this includes modifications to the landscape coverage standard which generally requires landscape planting on the ground-floor. As stated in the adopted Housing Element, despite the well-meaning value of enabling trees, shrubs and groundcover, this often represents a constraint to development by shrinking the building footprint. Therefore, proposed modifications to this standard allow it to be met above the ground-floor, permitting a larger building footprint, while still enabling planted areas for residents. In the employment districts (i.e., ROLM, GM, RP), the Housing Element specifies much higher densities compared to what the existing base district regulations allow. As a result, the Housing Element identified additional standards that would represent constraints to development (see Attachment D excerpt) at higher densities. The zoning amendments therefore modify standards for lot coverage, parking, and building height, in addition to increasing FAR and reducing landscape coverage requirements. Finally, this subsection includes site specific zoning regulations including Program 1.1A standards for Stanford-owned properties as well as a proposed idea for an El Camino Real Focus Area. These specific locations are discussed further below. Section 18.14.030: Housing Incentive Program (HIP) This section is a placeholder location to consolidate regulations pursuant to the existing HIP and amendments proposed as part of Program 3.4 of the Housing Element. This ordinance does not include changes to the HIP at this time. Section 18.14.040: Affordable Housing Incentive Program (AHIP) This section is a placeholder location to relocate existing 18.32 AHIP regulations into this consolidated chapter of housing incentives. This ordinance does not include amendments to this program at this time. Base Districts The ordinance amends several of the base zoning districts for two main purposes: Item 9 Item 9 Staff Report        Item 9: Staff Report Pg. 7  Packet Pg. 74 of 511  1. To allow multifamily as a permitted use on Housing Element opportunity sites, where otherwise not allowed; and 2. To provide a cross-reference to modified development standards for opportunity sites in the new Section 18.14.040. Proposed Development Standards for Opportunity Sites and Focus Areas Table 1 and Table 2 summarizes proposed changes to the standards for density, intensity, and landscape coverage in the residential and commercial mixed-use districts, and mixed use employment districts, respectively. In terms of FAR, as a baseline, the draft ordinance allows at least 1.25:1 FAR, which generally accommodates three stories of development with fairly low lot coverages of 45%. Notably, 1.25:1 FAR is currently the minimum standard required under State law for small projects with 8-10 units and is codified accordingly in the City’s RM districts. From this baseline, FARs range up to 2:1 in Downtown (CD-C) and 2.5:1 in the GM/ROLM areas shown in the West Bayshore area (see Figure 1 below). Maximum density standards, if they are proposed for change at all, are as specified in the Housing Element. Landscape coverage is revised for most zoning district, as stated in Chapter 4 of the Housing Element (Attachment D). The draft ordinance generally does not propose to change the landscape coverage requirement (e.g., 20% or 30%). Instead, the draft ordinance allows more flexibility regarding where the requirement can be met—not just at the ground-level, but on above-grade on courtyard or rooftop (if permitted by the district). In the GM and ROLM zones and Focus Area, the draft ordinance proposes two changes that would have opposite effects: first, to add a landscape coverage requirement for the GM, where one currently does not exist, and second to modestly reduce the requirement in the ROLM zone, from 30% to 20%.

These are specified in the Housing Element excerpt in Attachment D and proposed to be codified as shown in Table 2. This results in taller height limits, increased lot coverage and landscape coverage requirements, and reduced parking requirements, in addition to changes to FAR limits. Table 2 distinguishes between three tiers of standards for these zones: (1) the highest proposed densities within the GM/ROLM Focus Area, (2) moderate proposed densities for other GM/ROLM Housing Element opportunity sites outside the Focus Area; and (3) existing densities which will remain for other GM/ROLM sites that do not fall under either of the first two categories.

It would effectively raise the “floor” upon which density bonuses are calculated. This would generate more below- market rate housing units within a State Density Item 9 Item 9 Staff Report        Item 9: Staff Report Pg. 12  Packet Pg. 79 of 511  Bonus Law-compliant project, but would also allow additional density bonus, which could result in taller and larger buildings than are currently permitted by the Zoning Ordinance. El Camino Real & Page Mill Focus Area The draft ordinance proposes higher density standards for a specific segment of El Camino Real to create a housing Focus Area between Page Mill Road and Matadero Avenue, as shown in Figure 2. Program 1.1A already identified three sites on this segment higher density development standards; this proposal extends the geographic reach. The North Ventura Coordination Area Plan process is devising standards for the opposite side of El Camino Real, so no changes to the east side of the corridor are proposed as part of this process. Figure 2: El Camino Real Focus Area There are several reasons for this expanded proposal: 1.Neighborhood Context & Services: This location has excellent access to services, shopping, California Avenue, jobs, Stanford, and transit. It is also primary Item 9 Item 9 Staff Report        Item 9: Staff Report Pg. 13  Packet Pg. 80 of 511  surrounding by commercial uses, with only one interface with a lower density residential neighborhood with 1- and 2-story homes at Matadero Avenue. The proposed development standards aim to mitigate this adjacency through required height transitions and daylight planes. At Palo Alto Square, there already exists taller buildings than what are proposed here, with two ~140-foot tall office buildings already located near the Page Mill Road intersection. 2.Community & Decision-Maker Input. Second, and in part for the aforementioned reasons, the Housing Element Working Group, City Council Housing Ad Hoc Committee, and the Planning & Transportation Commission have previously discussed creating a cohesive plan for this area as part of the Housing Element. 3.Motivated Property Owners: Over the past several months, four separate property owners/lessees along this corridor have expressed interest in residential or mixed- use development or submitted preliminary or formal planning applications. In the case of the applications, project proposals have included density bonuses under State Density Bonus law that far exceed base district regulations due to requests for waivers and concessions (see images below.) Proposal for 3150 El Camino Real: 380 units, 84 feet, 4.1 FAR Proposal for 3400 El Camino Real: 185 units, 75 feet, 1.9 FAR The owner of Palo Alto Square, the largest site at the corner of Page Mill Rd., has expressed interest in adding housing to some of the existing parking pads but has not filed any Item 9 Item 9 Staff Report        Item 9: Staff Report Pg. 14  Packet Pg. 81 of 511  applications. Because Palo Alto Square is subject to a Planned Community zone ordinance, an amendment to that ordinance would be required to allow multifamily housing at these densities. This would also provide the City with an opportunity to weigh on site planning, access, drive aisles, etc. Although conceptually, this site is an integral part of the Focus Area concept, it is not included in the City’s Sites Inventory at this time. Note that the Parmani Hotel is included in the proposed rezoning but has not expressed interest in redevelopment into housing. Draft Standards The draft ordinance proposes a series of standards that would modify base district regulations on the Stanford sites and the El Camino Real Focus Area. Notably, these regulations are optional to the base district regulations and provided as an alternative to State Density Bonus Law. In other words, developers could choose whether to propose a Density Bonus project relying on base district regulations or to use these higher standards in lieu of State law. These standards are shown in Table 3. To balance the reduction in parking requirements at these sites, the City can create objective transportation demand management measures. For example, these could include: •A requirement to provide free transit passes for residents at these sites •A minimum % requirement for large at-grade bicycle parking spaces to accommodate cargo bikes, trailers, and heavier e-bikes •A minimum % requirement for bicycle parking spaces that have outlets for e-bike charging As noted above, the attached ordinance contains some of these provisions, with the expectation that a future ordinance could adopt a more fully developed program.

Upper Story Step Back El Camino Real frontage: maximum height of 55 feet within 20 feet of the El Camino Real property line Open Space 100 sq. ft/unit (any combination of common and/or private) Minimum Residential Parking 1 space/unit (Per AB2097: 0 space/unit within ½ mile of Caltrain) Other Development Standards See base district regulations Design Criteria/Standards Architectural Review and compliance with either Objective Design Standards pursuant to Chapter 18.24 or Context-Based Design Criteria pursuant to base district regulations. Other Proposed Regulations and Potential Impacts Related to the Focus Area Architectural Review. Projects in the Focus Area would be required to go through Architectural Review (2 to 3 hearings with the Architectural Review Board) and would need to meet either the Objective Design Standards or Context-Based Design Criteria. 20% Inclusionary Requirement. The City typically requires that projects set-aside 15% of units for below-market rate housing at moderate income levels. Rental projects are permitted to pay a fee in lieu of this requirement. However, to take advantage of these standards in the Focus Area, developers would need to provide 20% below-market rate housing at up to 80% AMI and would not have the opportunity to pay a fee in-lieu. (The Pasteur Dr. Site is an exception and may pay the in-lieu fee payment, since it is intended for Stanford affiliates.) As a result of this draft regulation, the Focus Area could achieve more below-market rate units within mixed income developments. However, at least one developer has suggested that a 20% BMR requirement at 80% of AMI is challenging. Potential Development. Importantly, not all sites can achieve the standards identified in the draft ordinance. In particular, the Creekside Inn site at 3400 El Camino Real is constrained by Item 9 Item 9 Staff Report        Item 9: Staff Report Pg. 16  Packet Pg. 83 of 511  the creek, required creek setbacks, hotel buildings to be retained, and by the height transition requirements where the site abuts an R-1 zoning district. Similarly, the 3300 El Camino Real site has an approved entitlement for an office project, at 0.4 FAR, and a no-build PG&E easement that constrains a significant portion of the site. Notably, due to these constraints, the next iteration of the Housing Element will reduce the Sites Inventory’s realistic capacity for this site from 200 units to approximately 100 units. Palo Alto Square has high-density office buildings and uses proposed to remain and therefore any new residential floor area would be additive. The 3150 El Camino Real site is the least constrained, since it anticipates complete redevelopment, and is therefore the most likely to utilize the maximum standards achievable. To create consistency between these sites and simplify implementation in the code for City staff and decision-makers, a consistent set of standards is applied across the Focus Area. The two projects that have submitted formal applications to the City propose standards in line what is being proposed here; these applications total approximately 560 units. Taking a proactive approach to rezoning allows the City to set standards that are in line with market demands, but that establish the City’s priorities (e.g., stepbacks, height transitions, on-site affordable housing, Architectural Review, etc.) rather than allow waivers and concessions under State law to drive architectural design. If the City did not move forward with this Focus Area concept, it would need to remove these sites from the Sites Inventory and find alternate sites that could accommodate lower-income households. Traffic Operations. In addition to an analysis of potential vehicle miles traveled (VMT) impacts under CEQA (see discussion below), the City will also need to analyze operational traffic impacts. This will include traditional level of service (LOS) analysis, which would describe any necessary improvements such as signal timing or signal warrants. Precedential effect. It should be noted that this proposed concept is likely not replicable in many other parts of the city. As noted at the outset of this section, this particular segment of El Camino Real is well suited for higher density development based on existing services, transit access, height context, and lack of sensitive adjacent uses. Pasteur Drive & Sand Hill Road Property Separate from Stanford’s El Camino Real properties, Program 1.1A of the Housing Element also calls for site-specific standards for Pasteur Drive at Sand Hill Road (see Figure 3). This property is proposed to have similar standards as the El Camino Real Focus Area, but different authorizing regulations givens the population served and context of the site. As required by Senate Bill (SB) 330, a project at this site is required to replace the existing 150 units at Welch Road Apartments. Housing Element Program 1.1 envisions approximately 450 units for the site. Item 9 Item 9 Staff Report        Item 9: Staff Report Pg. 17  Packet Pg. 84 of 511  This site context is central to Stanford campus, primarily the medical school. There are no abutting residential neighbors that are not affiliated with the university. The housing would only be occupied by Stanford affiliates, including medical school residents, faculty, staff, and postdoctoral fellows. The City Council and Planning & Transportation Commission have expressed concerns about how this could prevent the project site from paying property taxes that would fund school district and other city and county services. Notably, the existing Welch Road apartments are already limited to Stanford affiliates. As previously noted, the adopted Housing Element identifies this site for affiliate housing and, therefore, no restrictions are proposed in the attached ordinance for this site. Other Stanford-owned housing opportunities are required to be made available to the general public. Figure 3: Pasteur Dr. & Sand Hill Rd. (Welch Rd. Apartments and Construction Yard) At this property, a development project would be able to pay the affordable housing fee in-lieu of providing on-site below-market rate housing. The City can leverage these funds to build stand-alone affordable housing projects elsewhere in the city. Moreover, Stanford’s policy is to rent to affiliates at rates that are discounted from the market to assist with affordability— typically this represents a 20% reduction. A project on the Pasteur Drive site would need to meet Objective Design Standards, with modifications proposed in the draft ordinance, and therefore could be eligible for Streamlined Review. Proposed development standards are shown in Table 4. Table 4: Pasteur Drive & Welch Road Site-Specific Development Standards Location Pasteur Dr. & 1100 Welch Rd.

STAKEHOLDER ENGAGEMENT Preparation of the Housing Element included a range of community outreach methods, including surveys, Working Group meetings, community workshops, and public hearings. Hundreds of community members have participated in the Housing Element update over the course of the project. To announce the release of the Public Review draft, an email blast was sent to over 400 recipients with information about the Public Review draft release. Meetings included a November 16, 2022 Community Meeting, a November 28, 2022 joint City Council/PTC meeting, a March 8, 2023 PTC hearing, and the May 8, 2023 joint City Council/PTC hearing. The City’s Housing Element website, www.paloaltohousingelement.com, serves as the library for draft and final documents, past and upcoming meetings. ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW Consultants prepared an Addendum to the Comprehensive Plan Environmental Impact Report (EIR) to analyze the potential environmental impacts of the 2023-2031 Draft Housing Element. This includes the implementation of Program 1.1 and the associated increase in housing Item 9 Item 9 Staff Report        Item 9: Staff Report Pg. 19  Packet Pg. 86 of 511  production including and beyond what was projected by the RHNA and Housing Element sites inventory. The City Council considered a previous version of this Addendum before adopting the Housing Element in June 2023. The revised Addendum analyzes modifications to the Adopted Housing Element’s Sites Inventory, which includes additional site locations and unit yields. It also analyzes the expanded Program 1.1 rezoning (i.e., the El Camino Real Focus Area). The revised Addendum demonstrates similar findings and no new impacts compared to the previous Addendum.

L. INTRODUCTION The Land Use and Community Design Element sets the foundation for future preservation, growth and change in Palo Alto and serves as the blueprint for the development of public and private property in the city. It includes policies and programs intended to balance natural resources with future community needs in a way that makes optimal use of available land, to create attractive buildings and public spaces that reinforce Palo Alto’s sense of place and community, to preserve and enhance quality of life in Palo Alto neighborhoods, to support thriving commercial areas that meet the needs of local residents, and to maintain Palo Alto's role in the success of the surrounding region. This Element meets the State-mandated requirements for a Land Use Element. It defines categories for the location and type of public and privates uses of land under the City's jurisdiction; it recommends standards for population density and building intensity on land covered by the Comprehensive Plan; and it includes a Land Use Map (Map L-6) and Goals, Policies and Programs to guide land use distribution in the city. By satisfying these requirements, the Land Use and Community Design Element lays out the basic guidelines and standards upon which all of the other Comprehensive Plan elements rely and build. Other elements of the Plan correspond with the land use categories and policy direction contained in this Element, while providing more specialized guidance focused on particular topics, such as transportation or conservation. 11 Item 9 Attachment A - Amendments to the Land Use Element of the Comprehensive Plan        Item 9: Staff Report Pg. 21  Packet Pg. 88 of 511  P A L O A L T O C O M P R E H E N S I V E P L A N L A N D U S E A N D C O M M U N I T Y D E S I G N E L E M E N T CONNECTIONS TO OTHER ELEMENTS The Land Use and Community Design Element is replete with direct connections to all of the other elements of the Comprehensive Plan. Its guidance for land uses is strongly linked to the Housing Element’s prescriptions for residential development, even though the Housing Element is cyclically updated on a separate State- mandated timetable. The inextricable tie between land use and transportation is clearly apparent both in this Element and the Transportation Element, as the co- location of land uses significantly affects the ability of transit, walking and biking to replace vehicle travel, in addition to capitalizing on the presence of rail service in Palo Alto. The success of programs in the Natural Environment and Safety Elements are largely dependent on land uses decisions that protect the environment as well as people and property. The Land Use Element dovetails with both the quality of life initiatives in the Community Services and Facilities Element, and the prosperity objectives of the Business and Economics Element. PLANNING CONTEXT N ATURAL E NVIRONMENT With a backdrop sweeping from forested hills to the Bay, Palo Alto is framed by natural beauty. Views of the foothills contribute a sense of enclosure and a reminder of the close proximity of open space and nature. Views of the baylands provide a strong connection to the marine environment and the East Bay hills. Together with the city’s marshland, salt ponds, sloughs, creeks and riparian corridors, these natural resources, clearly visible in the aerial photograph in Map L-1, are a major defining feature of Palo Alto’s character. Preserving the city’s attractive and valuable natural features is important for a number of reasons. Ecologically, these areas provide key habitat for wildlife, create a buffer from developed areas and act as a natural filtration system for storm water runoff. For the community, they represent an important facet of the look and feel of Palo Alto, contributing to a sense of place both through direct public access to natural areas and the views that establish Palo Alto’s local scenic routes. 12 Item 9 Attachment A - Amendments to the Land Use Element of the Comprehensive Plan        Item 9: Staff Report Pg. 22  Packet Pg. 89 of 511  P A L O A L T O C O M P R E H E N S I V E P L A N L A N D U S E S A N F R A N C I S C O B A YRedwood City East Palo Alto Atherton £¤ 101Menlo Park Stanford University PALO ALTO §¨¦280 Stanford Lands Mountain View Los AltosLos Altos Hills ·|}þ 85 §¨¦280 Sunnyvale Railroads City Boundary Sphere of Influence,0 1 2 Miles Source: City of Palo Alto, 2013; ESRI, 2016; PlaceWorks, 2016.

Regional planning partners include the California Department of Transportation (Caltrans) and other State agencies, Metropolitan Transportation Commission and Association of Bay Area Governments, Santa Clara Valley Transportation Authority, San Mateo County Transit District, Santa Clara County, San Mateo County and neighboring cities. The City of Palo Alto works together with the cities of East Palo Alto and Menlo Park on a variety of shared programs relating to economic development, social services, education, public safety and housing. Palo Alto also works with Mountain View, Los Altos and Los Altos Hills on joint ventures such as fire protection and water quality control. In addition, Palo Alto elected officials and staff participate in numerous countywide and regional planning efforts, including via both advisory and decision-making boards and commissions. Palo Alto also maintains a strong relationship with Stanford University. Although the campus lies outside of the city limits, as shown in Map L-2, important Stanford- owned lands are within Palo Alto, including Stanford Shopping Center, Stanford Research Park and the Stanford University Medical Center. The City, Santa Clara County and Stanford maintain an inter-jurisdictional agreement regarding development on unincorporated Stanford lands and collaborate on selected land use and transportation projects. CITY EVOLUTION E ARLY H ISTORY There is evidence in the archaeological record of people living along San Francisquito Creek as far back as 4000 BC, and the first widely recognized inhabitants are the Costanoan people starting in about 1500 BC. The Costanoan are Ohlone- speaking Native Americans who lived near the water from San Francisco Bay to Carmel. Costanoan and earlier artifacts have been identified in the city, particularly along the banks of San Francisquito Creek. Preservation of these resources is a high priority for the City and essential to defining the character of the community. 14 Item 9 Attachment A - Amendments to the Land Use Element of the Comprehensive Plan        Item 9: Staff Report Pg. 24  Packet Pg. 91 of 511  P A L O A L T O C O M P R E H E N S I V E P L A N L A N D U S E S A N F R A N C I S C O B A YRedwood City East Palo Alto Atherton £¤ 101Menlo Park Stanford University §¨¦280 Stanford Lands Mountain View^_ Los AltosLos Altos Hills ·|þ} 85 §¨¦280 Sunnyvale City Limit Sphere of Influence Stanford Academic Growth Boundary Railroads^_Potential Future School Site Stanford University Land Use Designations Academic Campus Campus Residential - Low Density Campus Residential - Moderate Density Open Space and Field Research Campus Open Space Special Conservation Lake/Reservoir Urban Service Boundary |!

The city incorporated in 1894 on land purchased with the specific intent of serving the newly established Stanford University. Originally centered on University Avenue, Palo Alto grew south and east, incorporating the older town of Mayfield and its California Avenue district in 1925. By the 1970s, the city had almost doubled in size, stretching into the foothills and south to Mountain View, with commercial centers along Middlefield Road in Midtown and El Camino Real through formerly unincorporated Barron Park, and research and development areas at the city’s outskirts. Today, Palo Alto covers almost 26 square miles (16,627 acres) of land, about a third of which is open space, including 34 city-owned parks and 1,700 acres of protected baylands. Ensuring that activities in and around the baylands, including airport operations, occur with minimal environmental impacts is of major importance to the City and region. COMPACT D EVELOPMENT Palo Alto was an early adopter of compact development principles, as embodied in the Urban Service Area designated to manage growth in the current Comprehensive Plan. Through this strategy, the City has endeavored to direct new development into appropriate locations—such as along transit corridors and near employment centers— while protecting and preserving neighborhoods as well as the open space lands that comprise about half of the city. S USTAINABILITY AND RESILIENCE Palo Alto is regarded as a leader in sustainability, having adopted its first Climate Action Plan in 2007 and continuing through the City’s multi-faceted efforts to 16 Item 9 Attachment A - Amendments to the Land Use Element of the Comprehensive Plan        Item 9: Staff Report Pg. 26  Packet Pg. 93 of 511  P A L O A L T O C O M P R E H E N S I V E P L A N L A N D U S E A N D C O M M U N I T Y D E S I G N E L E M E N T eliminate the community’s dependence on fossil fuels and adapt to the potential effects of climate change. Through the direct provision of public utility services by the City to the community, Palo Alto is able to achieve truly outstanding energy efficiency and water conservation. The City and community also are leaders in promoting non- automobile transportation, waste reduction and diversion and high-quality, low- impact development. In addition to efficiency and conservation, the City sees an adequate housing supply as a fundamental component of a sustainable and equitable community. As of the adoption of this Comprehensive Plan, renting or owning a home in Palo Alto is prohibitively expensive for many. The housing affordability crisis in Palo Alto and in the Bay Area more broadly has a number of negative consequences, including diminished socioeconomic diversity and increased traffic congestion as local workers commute from distant places where housing is cheaper. In response, this Element lays out a multi-faceted strategy to both preserve existing housing and create new housing in a variety of types and sizes. Most new housing is anticipated to be multi- family housing on redeveloped infill sites near housing. These policies and programs work hand-in-hand with Housing Element programs and focus change along transit corridors, while preserving the character of established single-family neighborhoods. Together, all of these efforts make Palo Alto a more resilient community, able to adjust behaviors and actions in an effort to protect and preserve environmental resources. CITY STRUCTURE COMPONENTS The city is composed of unique neighborhoods and distinct but connected commercial centers and employment districts. Understanding how these different components of the city structure support one another and connect to the region can help inform land use planning. By reflecting the existing structure in its policies, Palo Alto will ensure that it remains a community that encourages social contact and public life and also maintains quality urban design. R ESIDENTIAL N EIGHBORHOODS Palo Alto’s 35 neighborhoods are characterized by housing, parks and public facilities. Their boundaries are based on land use and street patterns and community 17 Item 9 Attachment A - Amendments to the Land Use Element of the Comprehensive Plan        Item 9: Staff Report Pg. 27  Packet Pg. 94 of 511  P A L O A L T O C O M P R E H E N S I V E P L A N L A N D U S E A N D C O M M U N I T Y D E S I G N E L E M E N T perceptions. Most of the residential neighborhoods have land use classifications of single-family residential with some also including multiple-family residential, and transitions in scale and use often signify neighborhood boundaries. Each neighborhood is a living reminder of the unique blend of architectural styles, building materials, scale and street patterns that were typical at the time of its development. These characteristics are more intact in some neighborhoods than in others. The City strives to complement neighborhood character when installing streets or public space improvements and to preserve neighborhoods through thoughtful development review to ensure that new construction, additions and remodels reflect neighborhood character. Neighborhoods built prior to the mid-1940s generally have a traditional pattern of development with relatively narrow streets, curbside parking, vertical curbs and street trees between the curb and sidewalk. Many homes are oriented to the street with parking often located to the rear of the lot. Many later neighborhoods were shaped by Modernist design ideas popularized by builder Joseph Eichler. The houses are intentionally designed with austere facades and oriented towards private backyards and interior courtyards, where expansive glass walls “bring the outside in.” Curving streets and cul-de-sacs further the sense of house as private enclave, and flattened curbs joined to the sidewalk with no planting strip create an uninterrupted plane on which to display the house. Some neighborhoods built during this period contain other home styles such as California ranch. Both traditional and modern Palo Alto neighborhoods have fine examples of multi- unit housing that are very compatible with surrounding single-family homes, primarily because of their high-quality design characteristics, such as entrances and gardens that face the street rather than the interior of the development. Examples include duplexes and small apartment buildings near Downtown, as well as second units and cottage courts in other areas of the city. 18 Item 9 Attachment A - Amendments to the Land Use Element of the Comprehensive Plan        Item 9: Staff Report Pg. 28  Packet Pg. 95 of 511  P A L O A L T O C O M P R E H E N S I V E P L A N L A N D U S E A N D C O M M U N I T Y D E S I G N E L E M E N T COMMERCIAL C ENTERS Centers are commercial and mixed use areas that serve as focal points of community life. These commercial centers are distributed throughout the city, within walking or bicycling distance of virtually all Palo Alto residents, as shown in Map L-3. There are three basic types of Centers in Palo Alto: h Regional Centers include University Avenue/Downtown and Stanford Shopping Center. These areas are commercial activity hubs of citywide and regional significance, with a mix of shopping, offices and some housing. Downtown is characterized by two- and three-story buildings with ground floor shops. Downtown Palo Alto is widely recognized for its mix of culture, architecture and atmosphere of innovation, which make it a uniquely special place. Trees, benches, outdoor seating areas, sidewalks, plazas and other amenities make the streets pedestrian-friendly. Transit is highly accessible and frequent. Downtown plays a key role in concentrating housing, employment, shopping and entertainment near each other and regional rail and other transit, exemplifying and supporting citywide sustainability and resiliency. However, a recent cycle of economic growth has brought increased pressure for additional office space in Downtown Palo Alto. In recent years, the demand has become so strong that other important uses that contribute to Downtown’s vitality, such as storefront retail, are at risk of being pushed out. This Element includes policies and programs to preserve ground floor-retail uses Downtown and sustain its role as a gathering place. Programs are also included to convert some unused development potential from commercial to residential potential in the future. Stanford Shopping Center has evolved from its original auto-oriented design into a premier open-air pedestrian environment known for extensive landscaped areas surrounded by retail and dining. h Multi-Neighborhood Centers, including California Avenue, Town and Country Village and South El Camino Real, are retail districts that serve more than one neighborhood with a diverse mix of uses including retail, office and residential. They feature one- to three-story buildings with storefront windows and outdoor seating areas that create a pedestrian-friendly atmosphere. These centers also contain retail uses clustered around plazas and parks that provide public gathering spaces. They can be linked to other city Centers via transit. 19 Item 9 Attachment A - Amendments to the Land Use Element of the Comprehensive Plan        Item 9: Staff Report Pg. 29  Packet Pg. 96 of 511  P A L O A L T O C O M P R E H E N S I V E P L A N L A N D U S E A N D C O M M U N I T Y D E S I G N E L E M E N T h Neighborhood Centers, such as Charleston Shopping Center, Edgewood Plaza and Midtown Shopping Center, are small retail areas drawing customers from the immediately surrounding area. These centers are often anchored by a grocery or drug store and may include a variety of smaller retail shops and offices oriented toward the everyday needs of local residents. Adjacent streets provide walking, biking and transit connections. E MPLOYMENT D ISTRICTS Palo Alto’s employment districts, such as Stanford Research Park, Stanford Medical Center, East Bayshore and San Antonio Road/Bayshore Corridor, represent a development type not found in other parts of the city. These Districts are characterized by large one- to four-story buildings, with some taller buildings, separated by parking lots and landscaped areas. The Districts are accessed primarily by automobile or employer-supported transit, though future changes in land use and tenancy could support a shift toward transit, pedestrian and bicycle travel. GROWTH MANAGEMENT The pace of non-residential growth and development in Palo Alto has been moderated by a citywide cap on non-residential development first adopted by the City Council in 1989. Based on the demonstrated and continuous strength of the city’s economy, and recent changes in the approach to growth management throughout California, this Plan presents an updated cumulative growth management and monitoring system. This system moderates the overall amount of new office/R&D development and monitors its impacts on Palo Alto’s livability. This updated approach uses 2015 as the baseline from which to monitor new development and establishes a cumulative, citywide cap on office/R&D uses, including conversions of existing square footage to office/R&D space. It also establishes clear guidance to address what the City should do as the cap is approached. 20 Item 9 Attachment A - Amendments to the Land Use Element of the Comprehensive Plan        Item 9: Staff Report Pg. 30  Packet Pg. 97 of 511  P A L O A L T O G E N E R A L P L A N U P D A T E L A N D U S E E L E M E N T S A N F R A N C I S C O B A Y East Palo Alto Ø 1 3Menlo Park Ø 2Ø £¤ 101 2 1 Ø 2 Ø23 Ø 1 4Stanford University 2 Ø 1 1 Ø 3Stanford Lands Commercial Districts Regional CentersØ" 1.

These elements range from aesthetic to functional and include the design of buildings, the historic character of structures and places, public spaces where people gather, gateways or entrances to the city, street trees lining neighborhoods, art decorating public spaces, as well as parking lots and essential infrastructure. Key community design features are illustrated on Map L-4. B UILDINGS Palo Alto has many buildings of outstanding architectural merit representing a variety of styles and periods. The best examples of these buildings are constructed with quality materials, show evidence of craftsmanship, fit with their surroundings and help make neighborhoods comfortable and appealing. To help achieve quality design, the Architectural Review Board reviews buildings and site design for commercial and multi-family residential projects. Palo Alto’s commercial and residential buildings have received regional and national design recognition. Design issues in residential neighborhoods include sympathetic restoration and renovation of homes, protection of privacy if second stories are added, and efforts to make streets more inviting to pedestrians. H ISTORIC R ESOURCES Palo Alto has a rich stock of historic structures and places that are important to the city’s heritage and preserving and reusing these historic resources contributes to the livability of Palo Alto. The City’s Historic Inventory lists approximately 400 buildings of historical merit, with more than a dozen buildings on the National Register of Historic Places, as well as three historic districts (Green Gables, Greenmeadow and Professorville) and one architectural district (Ramona Street). Map L-5 illustrates historic resources in Palo Alto. Historic sites include the El Palo Alto Redwood, believed to be the site of a 1776 encampment of the Portola Expedition and one of 19 California Points of Historical Interest in the city. The garage at 367 Addison that was the birthplace of Hewlett- Packard is one of seven sites or structures listed on the California Register of Historic Landmarks. The length of El Camino Real from San Francisco to San Diego, including the section that passes through Palo Alto, is a State Historic Landmark. Many historic 23 Item 9 Attachment A - Amendments to the Land Use Element of the Comprehensive Plan        Item 9: Staff Report Pg. 33  Packet Pg. 100 of 511  P A L O A L T O C O M P R E H E N S I V E P L A N L A N D U S E A N D C O M M U N I T Y D E S I G N E L E M E N T buildings in the city have been rehabilitated and adaptively reused as office or commercial spaces, including former single-family homes in and near downtown. P UBLIC S PACES , S TREETS AND P ARKING Throughout Palo Alto are a variety of public spaces from parks and schools to plazas and sidewalks, to cultural, religious and civic facilities. Each of these can increasingly serve as centers for public life with gathering places, bicycle and pedestrian access, safety-enhancing night-time lighting and clear visual access, and, in some cases, small-scale retail uses such as cafes. Well-designed streets also invite public use and enhance quality of life. Palo Alto’s reputation as a gracious residential community is due not only to its fine street trees and attractive planting areas, but also to appropriate street width for neighborhood character, accommodation of pedestrians and bicycles, height and setbacks of buildings and color and texture of paving materials. These components help to ensure that streets are pleasant and safe for all travelers. Parking lots occupy large amounts of surface area in the city. Well-designed parking lots make efficient use of space while contributing positively to the appearance of the surrounding area. A parking lot can provide an opportunity for open space and outdoor amenities rather than just a repository for cars. Many parking lots in Palo Alto include trees, landscaping and public art. G ATEWAYS Community identity is strengthened when the entrances to the city are clear and memorable. In Palo Alto, these entrances or gateways include University Avenue, El Camino Real, Middlefield Road, Oregon Expressway/Page Mill Road, San Antonio Road and Embarcadero Road and the Palo Alto Transit Center and California Avenue Caltrain station. Well-designed gateways are defined by natural and urban landmarks that complement the character and identity of the neighborhood. 24 Item 9 Attachment A - Amendments to the Land Use Element of the Comprehensive Plan        Item 9: Staff Report Pg. 34  Packet Pg. 101 of 511  P A L O A L T O G E N E R A L P L A N U P D A T E L A N D U S E E L E M E N T Atherton !!Green Gables! ! ! ! ! ! ! !!!

It offers enormous social, environmental and financial benefits and is a fundamental part of Palo Alto’s sense of place. Regular spacing of trees that are similar in form and texture provides order and coherence and gives scale to the street. A canopy of branches and leaves provides shade for pedestrians and creates a sense of enclosure and comfort. On the city’s most memorable streets, trees of a single species extend historic character to the corners of blocks, reducing the apparent width of streets and intersections and defining the street as a continuous space. Protecting, maintaining and enhancing the urban forest, as called for in the 2015 Urban Forest Master Plan, is among the most effective ways to preserve Palo Alto’s character. P UBLIC A RT Public art helps create an inviting atmosphere for gathering, fosters economic development and contributes to vital public spaces. Palo Alto’s public art program reflects the City’s tradition of enriching public spaces with works of art, ranging from the subtle inclusion of handcrafted artifacts into building architecture to more traditional displays of sculpture at civic locations. The Municipal Code requires both public and private projects to incorporate public art. U TILITIES AND INFRASTRUCTURE A city is supported by its infrastructure—features such as paving, signs and utilities. These features represent substantial public investments and are meant to serve all community members. Infrastructure improvements must meet current needs and keep pace with growth and development. While the purpose of infrastructure is usually utilitarian or functional, attention to design details can add beauty or even improve urban design. For example, replacing a sidewalk can provide an opportunity to create larger tree wells and provide new street trees. State law (California Government Code Section 65302.10) requires the City to address potential regional inequity and infrastructure deficits within disadvantaged unincorporated communities (DUCs) in this Element. There are no DUCs within the Palo Alto Sphere of Influence (SOI) with public services or infrastructure needs or deficiencies. 26 Item 9 Attachment A - Amendments to the Land Use Element of the Comprehensive Plan        Item 9: Staff Report Pg. 36  Packet Pg. 103 of 511  P A L O A L T O C O M P R E H E N S I V E P L A N L A N D U S E A N D C O M M U N I T Y D E S I G N E L E M E N T PALO ALTO AIRPORT Palo Alto Airport (PAO) is a general aviation airport owned and operated by the City of Palo Alto. PAO occupies 102 acres of land east of Highway 101 in the baylands and has one paved runway. The airport functions as a reliever to three Bay Area airports. PAO facilities include an air traffic control tower operated by the Federal Aviation Administration and a terminal building. Flight clubs and fixed base operators operate on-site, offering fuel sales, flight lessons, pilot training and aircraft sales, rentals, maintenance and repair. From 1967 to 2015, PAO was operated by Santa Clara County under a lease agreement. Operations and control have since been transferred to the City and key challenges ahead include addressing deterioration of runway conditions, addressing noise impacts and hours of operation and the relationship between the Airport and the Baylands Master Plan. LAND USE MAP AND LAND USE DESIGNATIONS Map L-6 shows each land use designation within the city of Palo Alto. The land use designations translate the elements of city structure into a detailed map that presents the community’s vision for future land use development and conservation on public and private land in Palo Alto through the year 2030. Residential densities are expressed in terms of dwelling units per acre. Population densities per acre are not absolute limits. Building intensities for non-residential uses are expressed in terms of floor area ratio (FAR), which is the ratio of gross building floor area (excluding areas designated for parking, etc.) to net lot area, both expressed in square feet. FAR does not regulate building placement or form, only the spatial relationship between building size and lot size; it represents an expectation of the overall intensity of future development. 27 Item 9 Attachment A - Amendments to the Land Use Element of the Comprehensive Plan        Item 9: Staff Report Pg. 37  Packet Pg. 104 of 511  P A L O A L T O C O M P R E H E N S I V E P L A N L A N D U S E A N D C O M M U N I T Y D E S I G N E L E M E N T The maximums assigned to the land use designations below do not constitute entitlements, nor are property owners or developers guaranteed that an individual project, when tested against the General Plan’s policies, will be able or permitted to achieve these maximums. L AND U SE D EFINITIONS OPEN SPACE Publicly Owned Conservation Land : Open lands whose primary purpose is the preservation and enhancement of the natural state of the land and its plants and animals. Only resource management, recreation and educational activities compatible with resource conservation are allowed. Publi c Park: Open lands whose primary purpose is public access for active recreation and whose character is essentially urban. These areas, which may have been planted with non-indigenous landscaping, may provide access to nature within the urban environment and require a concerted effort to maintain recreational facilities and landscaping. Streamside Open Space: This designation is intended to preserve and enhance corridors of riparian vegetation along streams. Hiking, biking and riding trails may be developed in the streamside open space. The corridor will generally vary in width up to 200 feet on either side of the center line of the creek. However, along San Francisquito Creek between El Camino Real and the Sand Hill Road bridge over the creek, the open space corridor varies in width between approximately 80 and 310 feet from the center line of the creek. The aerial delineation of the open space in this segment of the corridor, as opposed to other segments of the corridor, is shown to approximate scale on the Proposed Land Use and Circulation Map. Open Space/Controlle d Development : Land having all the characteristics of open space but where some development may be allowed on private properties. Open space amenities must be retained in these areas. Residential densities range from 0.1 to 1 dwelling unit per acre but may rise to a maximum of 2 units per acre where second units are allowed, and population densities range from 1 to 4 persons per acre. Other uses such as agricultural, recreational and non-residential uses may be allowed consistent with the protection and preservation of the inherent open space characteristics of the land. 28 Item 9 Attachment A - Amendments to the Land Use Element of the Comprehensive Plan        Item 9: Staff Report Pg. 38  Packet Pg. 105 of 511  P A L O A L T O G E N E R A L P L A N U P D A T E L A N D U S E E L E M E N T Baylands Master Plan SOFA I CAP SOFA II CAP S A N F R A N C I S C O B A YEast Palo Alto Byxbee Park Menlo Park ¤ 101 Baylands Preserve |! |!|ÿ82Stanford University Mountain View §¨¦ Los Altos S A N F R A N C I S C O B A YLos Altos Hills 0 0.125 0.25 0.5 0.75 1 Miles Comprehensive Plan Land Use Designations Residential Other Campus Open Space Special Conservation Lake/Reservoir Single Family Res SOFA II CAP Multi-Family Res Mixed Use SOFA I CAP School District Land |Caltrain Stations Urban Service Area City Boundary Commercial Major Institution/Special Facility Streamside Open Space Public Park Hotel Commercial Service Commercial Sphere of Influence RailroadsNeighborhood Commercial Regional/Community Commercial Open Space/Controlled Development Public Conservation Land Business/Industrial Stanford University Land Use Designations Academic CampusLight Industrial Research/Office Park Campus Residential - Low Density Campus Residential - Moderate Density Open Space/Field Research Source: ESRI, 2010; Tiger Lines, 2010; USGS, 2010; NHD, 2013; City of Palo Alto, 2013; PlaceWorks, 2015.

R ESIDENTIAL Single-Family Residential: This designation applies to residential neighborhoods primarily characterized by detached single-family homes, typically with one dwelling unit on each lot. Private and public schools and churches are conditional uses requiring permits. Accessory dwelling units or duplexes are allowed subject to certain size limitations and other development standards and duplexes may be allowed in select, limited areas where they would be compatible with neighborhood character and do not create traffic and parking problems. The net density in single family areas will range from 1 to 7 units per acre, but rises to a maximum of 14 units on parcels where second units or duplexes occur. Population densities will range from 1 to 30 persons per acre. , except on Housing Element opportunity sites, for which higher density standards may be specified in the Zoning Ordinance . Multiple-Family Residential: The permitted number of housing units will vary by area, depending on existing land use, proximity to major streets and public transit, distance to shopping and environmental problems. Net densities will range from 8 to 40 units and 8 to 90 persons per acre. Density should be on the lower end of the scale next to single-family residential areas. Densities higher than what is permitted , except on Housing Element opportunity sites, for which higher density standards may may be allowed where measurable community benefits will be derived, services andbe specified in the Zoning Ordinance . facilities are available, and the net effect will be consistent with the Comprehensive Plan. Population densities will range up to 2.25 persons per unit by 2030. Village Residential: Allows residential dwellings that are designed to contribute to the harmony and pedestrian orientation of a street or neighborhood. Housing types include single-family houses on small lots, second units, cottage clusters, courtyard housing, duplexes, fourplexes and small apartment buildings. Design standards will be prepared for each housing type to ensure that development successfully contributes to the street and neighborhood and minimizes potential negative impacts. Net densities will range up to 20 units per acre. Population densities will range up to 2.25 persons per unit by 2030. Transit-Oriented Residential: Allows higher density residential dwellings in the University Avenue/Downtown and California Avenue commercial centers within a walkable distance, approximately 2,500 feet, of the City’s two multi-modal transit stations. The land use category is intended to generate residential densities that support substantial use of public transportation and especially the use of Caltrain. Design standards will be prepared to ensure that development successfully contributes to the street and minimizes potential negative impacts.

Net density will range up to 50 units per acre, with minimum densities to be considered during development of new City zoning regulations. Population densities will range up to 2.25 per person per unit by 2030. C OMMERCIAL Neighborhood Commercial: Includes shopping centers with off-street parking or a cluster of street-front stores that serve the immediate neighborhood. Examples include Charleston Center, Edgewood Center and Midtown. Typical uses include supermarkets, bakeries, drugstores, variety stores, barber shops, restaurants, self- service laundries, dry cleaners and hardware stores. In locations along El Camino Real and Alma Street, residential and mixed use projects may also locate in this category. Non-residential FARs will range up to 0.4.

Regional/Community Commercial: Larger shopping centers and districts that have a wider variety of goods and services than the neighborhood shopping areas. They rely on larger trade areas and include such uses as department stores, bookstores, furniture stores, toy stores, apparel shops, restaurants, theaters and non-retail services such as offices and banks. Examples include Stanford Shopping Center, Town and Country Village and University Avenue/Downtown. Non-retail uses such as medical and dental offices may also locate in this designation; software development may also locate Downtown. In some locations, residential and mixed use projects may also locate in this category. Non-residential FARs range from 0.35 to 2.0.

Service Commercial: Facilities providing citywide and regional services and relying on customers arriving by car. These uses do not necessarily benefit from being in high volume pedestrian areas such as shopping centers or Downtown. Typical uses include auto services and dealerships, motels, lumberyards, appliance stores and restaurants, including fast service types. In almost all cases, these uses require good automobile and service access so that customers can safely load and unload without impeding traffic. In some locations, residential and mixed-use projects may be appropriate in this land use category. Examples of Service Commercial areas include San Antonio Road, El Camino Real and Embarcadero Road northeast of the Bayshore 32 Item 9 Attachment A - Amendments to the Land Use Element of the Comprehensive Plan        Item 9: Staff Report Pg. 42  Packet Pg. 109 of 511  P A L O A L T O C O M P R E H E N S I V E P L A N L A N D U S E A N D C O M M U N I T Y D E S I G N E L E M E N T Freeway.

Mixed Use: The Mixed Use designation is intended to promote pedestrian-oriented places that layer compatible land uses, public amenities and utilities together at various scales and intensities. The designation allows for multiple functions within the same building or adjacent to one another in the same general vicinity to foster a mix of uses that encourages people to live, work, play and shop in close proximity. Most typically, mixed-use developments have retail on the ground floor and residences above. This category includes Live/Work, Retail/Office, Residential/Retail and Residential/Office development. FARs will range up to 1.15, although development located along transit corridors or near multi-modal centers will range up to 2.0 FAR with up to 3.0 FAR possible where higher FAR would be an incentive to meet community goals such as providing affordable housing. The FAR above 1.15 must be used for residential purposes. FAR between 0.15 and 1.15 may be used for residential purposes. As of the adoption of this Comprehensive Plan, the Mixed Use designation is currently only applied in the SOFA area. Consistent with the Comprehensive Plan’s encouragement of housing near transit centers, higher density, generally within 1/2 mile of high quality transit.multi-family housing may be allowed in specific locations. Commercial Hotel: This category allows facilities for use by temporary overnight occupants on a transient basis, such as hotels and motels, with associated conference centers and similar uses. Restaurants and other eating facilities, meeting rooms, small retail shops, personal services and other services ancillary to the hotel are also allowed. This category can be applied in combination with another land use category. FAR currently ranges up to 2.0 for the hotel portion of the site. An implementation program indicates that the City will explore increasing this FAR. Research/Office Park: Office, research and manufacturing establishments whose operations are buffered from adjacent residential uses. Stanford Research Park is an example. Other uses that may be included are educational institutions and child care facilities. Compatible commercial service uses such as banks and restaurants and residential or mixed-uses that would benefit from the proximity to employment centers, will also be allowed. Additional uses, including retail services, commercial recreation, churches and private clubs may also be located in Research/Office Park areas, but only if they are found to be compatible with the surrounding area through 33 Item 9 Attachment A - Amendments to the Land Use Element of the Comprehensive Plan        Item 9: Staff Report Pg. 43  Packet Pg. 110 of 511  P A L O A L T O C O M P R E H E N S I V E P L A N On Housing Element opportunity sites, FAR will typically range from 1.25 to 2.5, as specified in the Zoning Ordinance.

In summary, this analysis reveals standards that represent a constraint to achieving housing production at densities specified in the existing regulations and/or rezonings identified to meet the RHNA. First, the ground-level landscaping requirement, generally 20 percent minimum, acts as a lot coverage limitation in the commercial mixed use districts and represents a constraint to housing production at densities identified in the Sites Inventory. The landscaping standard is proposed to be modified as part of the Program 1.1 zoning changes in order to achieve the stated density. Second, proposed density changes in the ROLM to meet the RHNA, from 30 du/ac to 65 du/ac, will mean that other existing standards, such as height, FAR, landscaping/lot coverage, or parking, will be constraints to achieving the density threshold. These standards are also proposed to be modified as part of Program 1.1 to facilitate housing production at stated densities. To evaluate constraints, the City has prepared physical site test models of all development standards specified in the Zoning Ordinance and summarized in the tables above , including setbacks, coverage, density, FAR, open space, building height, and parking. These models illustrate that multi-family development is physically feasible in all zones that allow housing, including on the smaller sites in the Sites Inventory. Townhomes are feasible in all scenarios. Stacked flats are generally feasible, but larger sites (above 10,000 sq. ft.) and/or corner lots are better for allowing parking and circulation access. Smaller sites and interior lots are generally more constrained. However, as detailed further below, in some instances, development standards need to be modified to achieve the RHNA densities projected for some properties in the Sites Inventory. Notably, residential density and parking standards do not correlate. Since the City requires 1 space/unit for studios and 1-bedrooms, but 2 spaces/unit for 2+ bedrooms, in a hypothetical project, the same amount of parking can serve either more studios/1-bedrooms (higher densities) or fewer 2+ bedroom units (lower densities). These parking requirements apply to all multifamily projects regardless of zone. Multifamily projects are being approved and built in Palo Alto in townhome and stacked flat configurations, which suggests that projects are financially feasible for at least these projects. Some of these projects take advantage of the Housing Incentive Program or State Density Bonus Law for increased density, which generally improves financial feasibility for low and moderate-density buildings using wood construction. Housing development projects that meet objective development and design standards have a high level of certainty for approval, potentially within 60 days of completeness for projects undergoing the City’s Streamlined Review Process (subject to one study session with the ARB) or other State streamlining bills (e.g., SB35 or AB2162) and exempt from CEQA. Projects that seek exceptions and utilize the subjective Context-Based Design Criteria and Architectural Review Process are subject to subjective findings and up to three public hearings with the ARB. Item 9 Attachment D - Excerpt from Chapter 4 of the Adopted Housing Element (Site Tests)        Item 9: Staff Report Pg. 91  Packet Pg. 158 of 511  4-28 Figure 4-2 CD(C) Zone Model This 5,125 square foot CD(C) site accommodates four dwelling units in a townhome typology. This district does not have setback or residential density standards, but does have a 50-foot height limit (which reduces to 40 feet at the front of the site which is within 150 feet of a lower density residential district ). At 1.23 FAR, this model exceeds the base FAR of 1.0, but is still below the Housing Incentive Program limit of 3.0 FAR. FAR is the density limit for the district since there is no residential density standard expressed in du/ac. The model also achieves the ground-level 20 percent landscape and 150 square feet/unit open space requirements, average unit size maximum of 1,500 square feet, and provides 2 parking spaces per unit in a tandem configuration. The resulting 3-story townhome attached townhome typology is a wood construction type that is cost effective and commonly found in the area. Existing zoning and proposed Housing Element programs provide a path to achieve more units and change housing and construction types to stacked flats. . In the absence of a maximum density expressed in dwelling units per acre, various development standards would need to be modified to increase density on the site. For example, based the City’s analysis, the percent ground-level landscaping standard precludes the project from achieving the allowable density and therefore represents a constraint on housing production at the 50 du/ac threshold identified in the Sites Inventory for sites within 1/4 mile of major transit. As part of Program 1.1, standards will be modified to allow the landscaping standard to be met above ground-level (e.g., on a courtyard or the rooftop). This change could allow podium construction, accommodate more units and parking, still within the existing height limit. Further, 100 percent below- market rate projects could benefit from other development standards through the existing HIP to achieve Item 9 Attachment D - Excerpt from Chapter 4 of the Adopted Housing Element (Site Tests)        Item 9: Staff Report Pg. 92  Packet Pg. 159 of 511  4-29 substantially more units per acre. AB2097 also exempts this site from parking requirements altogether, which would also increase unit yield beyond what is illustrated here. Figure 4-3 CN Zone Model This 15,800 square foot CN site accommodates 12 apartments and ground-floor retail in a mixed-use typology. Key standards modeled include setbacks, 20 percent ground-floor landscape coverage, 35-foot maximum building height, and the land use requirement to provide ground-floor retail. There is no maximum residential density expressed in du/ac for sites on El Camino Real in this district, but FAR of 1.5 and lot coverage of 100 percent is permitted with the Housing Incentive Program. The model provides the required 21 parking spaces in a below-grade garage. Although subterranean parking is a high cost option, it is somewhat common in Palo Alto. The ground-level landscaping requirement represents a constraint to achieving the 40 du/ac density threshold identified in the Sites Inventory for this site which is located within a ½ mile of a major transit corridor. Program 1.1 addresses the zoning constraint imposed by modifying the landscaping coverage standard to achieve Sites Inventory densities. To incentivize greater housing production potential, as an alternative to State Density Bonus Law, Program 3.4 proposes changes to the Housing Incentive Program. For example, greater building height and adjustments to the daylight plane, could be used to achieve more density, while bringing the parking above-grade. Further, the Housing Incentive Program offers 100 percent below-market rate projects relief from these other development standards, including parking as low as 0.75/unit, height up to 50 feet, and landscaping above the ground-floor.

The model takes into account setbacks, 30-foot height limit, daylight plane requirements, 35 percent lot coverage, 35 percent ground-floor landscaping and 150 square feet per unit open space requirements and achieves the 8 parking spaces required for 3- and 4-bedroom units through tuck-under and surface parking. State law already allows up to at least 1.0 FAR. The resulting 3-story attached townhome typology is a wood construction type that is cost effective and commonly found in the area. Surface and tuck-under parking are likewise cost effective. Existing zoning and proposed Housing Element programs provide a path for how to achieve even more units. Program 1.1A requires RM sites to receive a density increase, in this case from 20 to 30 du/ac. This would provide the option of more and smaller units (i.e., studios and 1-bedrooms) which carry lower parking requirements. Thus, this site could achieve five or six units (up to 26 du/ac) while still providing just seven or eight total parking spaces.

This would provide the option of more and smaller units (i.e., studios and 1-bedrooms) which carry lower parking requirements. Thus, this site could achieve up to six units (up to 40 du/ac) while still providing six to eight total parking spaces. Item 9 Attachment D - Excerpt from Chapter 4 of the Adopted Housing Element (Site Tests)        Item 9: Staff Report Pg. 95  Packet Pg. 162 of 511  4-32 Figure 4-6 RM-40 Zone Model – Parking Compliant with City Code This 5,000 square foot site accommodates four apartments, achieving 35 du/ac in a zone that allows 40 du/ac. The model takes into account setbacks, 40-foot height limit, daylight plane requirements, 45 percent lot coverage, 20 percent ground-floor landscaping and 150 square feet per unit open space requirements, and achieves the 7 parking spaces required through a ground-level garage. State law already allows up to at least 1.0 FAR. The resulting 3-story attached townhome typology is a wood construction type that is cost effective and commonly found in the area. State law, existing zoning and proposed Housing Element programs provide a path for how to achieve even more units. Program 1.1A requires RM sites, to receive a density increase, in this case from 40 to 50 du/ac. On smaller sites distant from transit, mechanical lifts may be necessary to meet parking requirements while still allowing for circulation in the driveway and garage. Mechanical lifts are allowed and have been used in Palo Alto as a viable way to shrink the footprint devoted to parking. Larger sites (e.g., 10,000 sq. ft.) allow for improved garage and driveway circulation that can physically accommodate parking. But, the City also modeled a 5,000 square foot interior lot, as opposed to a corner lot, which proved to be more challenging to design driveways and garage circulation. On interior lots, no parking or reduced parking strategies allowed for higher unit yields. Sites located within ½-mile of transit may invoke AB2097 parking reductions that would allow for additional unit yield up to 50 du/ac. Item 9 Attachment D - Excerpt from Chapter 4 of the Adopted Housing Element (Site Tests)        Item 9: Staff Report Pg. 96  Packet Pg. 163 of 511  4-33 On this small site, to achieve five units (up to 50 du/ac), the model could develop a range of studios or 1- bedrooms (which carry lower parking requirements) thereby achieving the maximum density while still providing up to seven total parking spaces, even without the use of mechanical lifts. Figure 4-7 ROLM Zone Model – Existing Zoning: 16 du/ac Yield This 1-acre ROLM site accommodates 16 townhome units, achieving 16 du/ac in a zone that allows 30 du/ac. This zone district generally follows the RM-30 zoning standards. Therefore, the model takes into account setbacks, 35-foot height limit, daylight plane requirements, 40 percent lot coverage, 35 percent ground-floor landscaping and 150 square feet per unit open space requirements, and achieves the 32 parking spaces required. The resulting 3-story attached townhome typology is a wood construction type that is cost effective and commonly found in the area. Item 9 Attachment D - Excerpt from Chapter 4 of the Adopted Housing Element (Site Tests)        Item 9: Staff Report Pg. 97  Packet Pg. 164 of 511  4-34 However, this model is not achieving the full allowable density, which allows for up to 30 dwelling units. With the current standards, 30 units are not feasible on this 1-acre site. This is primarily due to the 40 percent lot coverage and 0.6 FAR limits, and to some extent the depth of the parcel which necessitates a full hammerhead design to accommodate Fire Department access. These standards represent a constraint to achieving the density set forth in the code. Ways to rectify this constraint are described below. Figure 4-8 ROLM Zone Model – Existing Zoning: 30 du/ac Yield The figure above explores what it will take to achieve 30 du/ac and transition from a townhome to an apartment typology, namely: (1) a taller height limit (from 35 to 45 feet) to accommodate unit sizes and allow for all tuck under parking, (2) increased lot coverage from 40 percent to 70 percent, (3) FAR of 1.25; (4) parking reduced to 1 space per studio/1-bedroom and 1.25 spaces per 2+ bedroom. However, the Housing Element strategy for this portion of the GM/ROLM in Bayshore in the Sites Inventory anticipates a density of up to 70 du/ac, as shown below. Figure 4-9 ROLM Zone Model – Proposed Zoning (Program 1.1): 70 du/ac Yield Item 9 Attachment D - Excerpt from Chapter 4 of the Adopted Housing Element (Site Tests)        Item 9: Staff Report Pg. 98  Packet Pg. 165 of 511  4-35 Proposed Housing Element programs provide a path for how to achieve a density of 70 du/ac. At this density, the housing typology transitions to stacked flats (apartments or condos). In addition to increasing density standards, this model assumes a number of possible changes to development standards that would reduce this constraint: (1) height limit from 35 to 55 feet; (2) lot coverage increase from 40 percent to 70 percent, (3) FAR up to 2.0; (4) allowance for the 20 percent landscaping requirement to be met above the ground-floor; and (5) 1 space per studio/1-bedroom and 1.25-1.5 spaces per 2+ bedroom. Program 1.1 addresses the zoning constraint imposed by existing zoning regulations by modifying a combination of standards, such as height, FAR, lot coverage, landscaping, and parking to enable housing production at the density proposed in the Sites Inventory. S INGLE R OOM O CCUPANCY U NITS The Palo Alto Zoning Ordinance allows Single Room Occupancy (SRO) units as a multiple tenant structure with individual resident rooms. The City permits SRO units in CN, CC, and CS zones and multi-family residential zoning districts as shown in Table 4-3 using development standards that encourage the construction of the maximum number of units. Sites that have access to community services and public transportation are highly desired for SRO residents. Tenants typically share bathrooms and/or kitchens, while some rooms may include kitchenettes, bathrooms, or half-baths.

This addendum is being prepared for the City’s 2023-2031 Housing Element Update (HEU), henceforth known as the “proposed project” or “proposed HEU.” The City of Palo Alto was the lead agency for the certified EIR and is the lead agency for this addendum. The addendum analyzes the environmental effects of proposed revisions to the previously approved project analyzed in the 2017 EIR to address the proposed HEU and has been prepared in accordance with relevant provisions of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) of 1970 (as amended) and the CEQA Guidelines. According to CEQA Guidelines Section 15164, an addendum to a previously certified EIR or negative declaration is the appropriate environmental document in instances when “only minor technical changes or additions are necessary” and when the new information does not involve new significant environmental effects or a substantial increase in the severity of a significant effect beyond those identified in the previous EIR. CEQA Guidelines Section 15164 states that: a. The lead agency or responsible agency shall prepare an addendum to a previously certified EIR if some changes or additions are necessary but none of the conditions described in Section 15162 calling for preparation of a subsequent EIR have occurred [these are listed below in Section 1.2]. b. [Omitted – applies to Negative Declarations] c. An addendum need not be circulated for public review but can be included in or attached to the final EIR or adopted negative declaration. d. The decision-making body shall consider the addendum with the final EIR or adopted negative declaration prior to making a decision on the project. e. A brief explanation of the decision not to prepare a subsequent EIR pursuant to Section 15162 should be included in an addendum to an EIR, the lead agency’s findings on the project, or elsewhere in the record. BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE OF THE EIR ADDENDUM 2017 EIR BACKGROUND The City of Palo Alto prepared and certified the Comprehensive Plan Update EIR (State Clearinghouse #2014052101) on February 5, 2016. The EIR analyzed four scenarios (scenarios 1, 2, 3, and 4) and their environmental impacts. The City then prepared and certified the Comprehensive Plan Update Supplement to the Draft EIR (State Clearinghouse #2014052101) on February 10, 2017, which analyzed two more scenarios (scenarios 5 and 6) with higher buildouts compared to scenarios 1 through 4. This addendum analyzes the proposed HEU’s impacts in relation to the 2017 EIR, which analyzed a maximum buildout of 6,000 new housing units and 14,080 new residents in Scenario 6. The City also prepared and adopted a Mitigation, Monitoring and Reporting Program (MMRP); CEQA findings; and a Statement of Overriding Considerations in 2017. Item 9 Attachment E - Addendum to the Comprehensive Plan EIR (November 2023)        Item 9: Staff Report Pg. 104  Packet Pg. 171 of 511  INTRODUCTION 2 | P a g e Addendum to the 2030 Comprehensive Plan EIR BASIS FOR THE ADDENDUM As discussed in the CEQA Guidelines, between the date an environmental document for a project is completed and the date that project is implemented fully, one or more of the following changes may occur: 1) the project may change; 2) the environmental setting of the project may change; or 3) previously unknown information can arise. Before proceeding with a project, CEQA requires the lead agency to evaluate these changes to determine whether they affect the conclusions in the prior environmental document. When an EIR has been adopted and a project is modified or otherwise changed after adoption, additional CEQA review may be necessary. The key considerations in determining the need for the appropriate type of additional CEQA review are outlined in Public Resources Code Section 21166 (CEQA) and CEQA Guidelines Sections 15162 and 15164. CEQA Guidelines Section 15162(a) provides that a Subsequent EIR is not required unless the following occurs: 1) Substantial changes are proposed in the project which will require major revisions of the previous EIR or negative declaration due to the involvement of new significant environmental effects or a substantial increase in the severity of identified significant effects; 2) Substantial changes occur with respect to the circumstances under which the project is undertaken which will require major revisions of the previous EIR or Negative Declaration due to the involvement of new significant environmental effects or a substantial increase in the severity of identified significant effects; or 3) New information of substantial importance, which was not known and could not have been known with the exercise of reasonable diligence at the time the previous EIR was certified as complete or the Negative Declaration was adopted, shows any of the following: A) The project will have one or more significant effects not discussed in the previous EIR or negative declaration; B) Significant effects previously examined will be substantially more severe than shown in the previous EIR; C) Mitigation measures or alternatives previously found not to be feasible would in fact be feasible, and would substantially reduce one or more significant effects of the project, but the project proponents decline to adopt the mitigation measure or alternative; or D) Mitigation measures or alternatives which are considerably different from those analyzed in the previous EIR would substantially reduce one or more significant effects on the environment, but the project proponents decline to adopt the mitigation measure or alternative. Pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Section 15164(a), an addendum to a previously certified EIR may be prepared if some changes or additions are necessary but none of the conditions described in Section 15162 have occurred that require preparation of a Subsequent EIR. An addendum must include a brief explanation of the agency’s decision not to prepare a Subsequent EIR and must Item 9 Attachment E - Addendum to the Comprehensive Plan EIR (November 2023)        Item 9: Staff Report Pg. 105  Packet Pg. 172 of 511  CITY OF PALO ALTO 2023-2031 HOUSING ELEMENT CITY OF PALO ALTO P a g e | 3 be supported by substantial evidence in the record as a whole (Section 15164[e]). The decision- making body must consider the addendum prior to approving the project (Section 15164[d]). An addendum to the 2017 EIR is appropriate to address the proposed project, because the proposed modifications to the 2030 Comprehensive Plan project do not meet the conditions of Section 15162(a) for preparation of a Subsequent EIR as described herein. This addendum presents an analysis of the environmental topics identified in Appendix G of the State CEQA Guidelines using a modified checklist that determines for each topic whether the circumstances set forth in Public Resources Code Section 21166 and its implementing State CEQA Guidelines sections 15162 and 15163 are present with respect to the proposed project or the circumstances surrounding the project. The 2017 EIR and this addendum serve as documents to inform decision-makers and the public of the potential environmental consequences of approving the proposed project. This addendum neither controls nor determines the ultimate decision for approval of the proposed project. The information presented in this addendum to the certified EIR will be considered by the City of Palo Alto alongside the certified EIR prior to deciding whether to approve the proposed project.

The proposed HEU establishes programs, policies, and actions to further the goal of accommodating projected housing demand, as mandated by the State; increasing housing production to meet this demand; improving housing affordability; preserving existing affordable housing; improving the safety, quality and condition of existing housing; facilitating the development of housing for all income levels and household types, including special needs populations; improving the livability and economic prosperity of all Palo Alto residents; and promoting fair housing choice for all. This section describes the proposed project, including the project location, major project characteristics, project objectives, and discretionary actions needed for approval. LEAD AGENCY NAME, ADDRESS, AND CONTACT City of Palo Alto 250 Hamilton Avenue Palo Alto, California 94301 Contact: Clare Campbell, Manager of Long Range Planning, Clare.Campbell@cityofpaloalto.org 650-617-3191 PROJECT LOCATION The study area considered in this analysis includes the entire city of Palo Alto (hereinafter referred to as “City” or “Palo Alto”). Palo Alto is located 35 miles south of San Francisco and 14 miles north of San Jose. Palo Alto encompasses an area of approximately 26 square miles, about a third of which is open space, including 34 city-owned parks, and 1,700 acres of protected Baylands. The regional location of Palo Alto is shown in Figure 1 and the city limits are show in Figure 2.

The developable area within Palo Alto, located between Junipero Serra Boulevard and the Bayshore Freeway (US 101), is largely built out. Less than 0.5 percent of the developable land area is vacant. A large percentage of Palo Alto’s land area is also undeveloped Baylands and hillsides. The housing stock of Palo Alto in 2022 was made up of 16,403 single-family detached residences, 1,218 single-family attached residences, 1,958 multi-family residences with 2 to 4 units, 9,489 multi-family residences with 5 or more units, and 97 mobile homes (California Department of Finance [DOF] 2022 1). PROJECT CHARACTERISTICS The proposed project consists of a complete update to the Comprehensive Plan Housing Element. The updates are intended to enable Palo Alto to accommodate housing in accordance with State law while continuing to provide services, parks, schools, and environmental setting, and offering new programs that support the city’s diversity and housing affordability. HOUSING ELEMENT UPDATE The Housing Element is one of the State-mandated elements of the Comprehensive Plan. The current Housing Element was adopted in 2014 and is in effect through January 31, 2023. The Housing Element identifies Palo Alto’s housing conditions and needs, and establishes the goals, objectives, and policies that comprise the City’s housing strategy to accommodate projected housing needs, including the provision of adequate housing for low-income households and for special-needs populations (e.g., unhoused people, seniors, single-parent households, large families, and persons with disabilities). The proposed HEU would bring the element into compliance with State legislation passed since adoption of the 2015-2023 Housing Element and with the current Regional Housing Needs Allocation (RHNA). In December 2021, the Association of Bay Area Governments (ABAG) Executive Board adopted the 6th Cycle Final RHNA, which includes a “fair share” allocation for meeting regional housing needs for each community in the ABAG region. The proposed HEU includes the following components, as required by State law:  Evaluation of the 2015-2023 Housing Element: An evaluation of the results of the goals, policies, and programs adopted in the 2015-2023 Housing Element that compares projected outcomes with actual achieved results. 1 California Department of Finance (DOF). 2022.

It provides a profile of socio-demographic information, such as population characteristics, household information, housing stock, tenure, and housing affordability. The assessment also considers local special housing needs, such as seniors, farmworkers, unhoused persons, large households, and female-headed households.  Housing Capacity Analysis and Methodology: An inventory listing adequate sites that are suitably zoned and available within the planning period to meet the city’s fair share of regional housing needs across all income levels.  Housing Resources: An identification of resources to support the development, preservation, and rehabilitation of housing.  Constraints to Housing Production: An assessment of impediments to housing production across all income levels covering both governmental (e.g., zoning, fees, etc.) and nongovernmental (e.g., market, environmental, etc.) impediments.  Housing Plan: This section provides a statement of the community’s goals, policies and quantified objectives to maintain, preserve, improve, and develop housing, as well as a schedule of implementable actions to be taken during the planning period. Quantified objectives are included to make sure that both the existing and the projected housing needs are met, consistent with the city’s share of the RHNA. The draft Housing Element is available on the City’s website: https://paloaltohousingelement.com/ REGIONAL HOUSING NEEDS ALLOCATION The Housing Element must address the City's fair share of the regional housing need and specific State statutory requirements and must reflect the vision and priorities of the local community. ABAG has allocated the region’s 441,176 housing unit growth needs among each city and county in its region through a process called the Regional Housing Needs Determination. From the determination, ABAG assigns each jurisdictions Regional Housing Needs Allocation (RHNA). The RHNA represents the minimum number of housing units that the City is required to plan for in its Housing Element by providing adequate sites through the Comprehensive Plan and zoning. As shown in Table 1, Palo Alto’s RHNA for the 2023-2031 planning period is 6,086 units, which is distributed among four income categories (a fifth category for extremely low-income households is added in Table 1).

MEETING THE RHNA To meet the RHNA and provide sufficient capacity to accommodate future housing development, the HEU specifies sites suitable for residential development, identifies sites to increase permitted residential densities to meet affordability requirements, and includes other goals, policies, and programs to encourage housing. However, the Housing Element in and of itself does not develop housing – it is a plan. This housing plan would be supported by new and revised zoning standards. Not all of the housing anticipated by the RHNA will necessarily be built, as housing development is mainly accomplished by the private sector and dependent on factors independent of City control, such as financial resources. The sections below introduce the Sites Inventory, sites proposed to meet the RHNA, and then a subset of the inventory describing sites that require rezoning to meet the RHNA. The Department of Housing and Community Development (HCD) guidance is to identify enough housing sites inventory to not only cover the jurisdiction’s RHNA, but to also provide for an additional buffer capacity to accommodate realistic production rates of affordable housing units. Having a surplus or buffer can also allow for instances when a smaller residential unit count may have to be considered for a given property. The “No Net Loss” Law (Government Code Section 65863) requires maintenance of sufficient sites to meet the RHNA for all income levels throughout the planning period. SITES INVENTORY The City assessed capacity in entitled and proposed development, accessory dwelling units (ADU) and underutilized sites to meet the RHNA. Some of the underutilized sites are already zoned to accommodate multifamily housing at appropriate densities. However, other sites require rezoning to increase densities to allow multifamily housing and meet the remaining shortfall in accommodating the RHNA. These categories are further explained below. The City has identified 299 sites that could provide housing to meet the City’s RHNA and buffer. These sites are shown on Figure 3.

Entitled development would generate 452 units within the city. Twenty pipeline projects have also been identified generating 824 units. Total entitled and proposed development would generate 1,276 new units within the city. ACCESSORY DWELLING UNITS The City anticipates that it will permit an average of 64 accessory dwelling units (ADU) per year or 512 units during the planning period. ADUs, also referred to as granny flats or secondary units, provide an affordable housing option and are an important tool to help meet the housing needs in communities. The ADUs can also be credited towards RHNA. The proposed HEU includes programs for the City to incentivize and promote ADUs, such as by new incentives for rent-restriction ADUs that are affordable to low and very low income households and by allowing the construction of an ADU or Junior ADU with the construction of a new residence, whether on vacant property or on any property that is proposed to be redeveloped. The 64-unit annual projection is based on the City’s average ADU production from 2019-2021. IDENTIFYING UNDERUTILIZED SITES After crediting the entitled or under review 1,276 units and the 512 projected ADUs towards total RHNA (and buffer) of 6,695 units, there is a shortfall of 4,907 units. The proposed HEU identifies 279 sites that could accommodate 5,005 units2 to meet the RHNA allocation during the 2023-2031 period plus an additional buffer. Most of the parcels are developed but underutilized. Parcels that were considered during this phase included:  Underutilized sites such as lots with uses that are no longer needed or need rehabilitation  Locations where housing could be denser  Locations near public transit and services  Locations where housing could be added near commercial buildings or in business parks to create “live-work” neighborhoods Due to a lack of vacant available parcels, the City relies on non-vacant and underutilized sites to accommodate nearly all of its RHNA. SITES REQUIRING ZONING CHANGES Of the 299 sites identified to meet RHNA, the majority (157 sites) would need to be rezoned to a higher density to meet the estimated unit yields. The sites that do not require rezoning already allow for the development density to reach the estimated unit yields. 2 Note that the identified sites’ yield of 5,005 exceeds the calculated shortfall of 4,907 units by 98 units; the revised total unit yield to meet RHNA is 6,793 units.

These strategies include: 1. General up-zone of sites that allow for multi-family residential use; 2. Sites located within ½ mile of a Caltrain station; 3. Sites within ½ mile of high-frequency bus transit corridors; 4. Parking lots owned by the City; 5. Surface parking surrounding local faith-based institutions; 6. Sites within the General Manufacturing (GM) zone; 7. Sites within Research, Office, and Limited Manufacturing (ROLM) zone; 8. Sites owned by Stanford University; and, 9. Additional sites identified by City staff. Overall, it is estimated that 157 sites would be rezoned and these rezoned sites would have a capacity for an estimated 3,948 residential units distributed among all income categories. These sites are also shown on Figure 3. GENERAL UP-ZONING STRATEGIES The City would allow more residential development by increasing the maximum allowable density on sites where multi-family development is currently allowed. Medium to high density residential zones, or commercial zones that currently allow a maximum density of 20 dwelling units per acre would be up-zoned to allow a maximum of 30 dwelling units per acre. Similarly, areas zoned for a density of 30 dwelling units per acre would be up-zoned to allow up to 40 dwelling units per acre. Those identified parcels within 0.25 mile of Caltrain stations would receive an up-zone to 50 dwelling units per acre while those sites within a quarter to half a mile would be up-zoned to 40 units per acre. This strategy would increase the capacity of the city’s RM-20, RM-30, CN, CC, and CS zones on 99 sites. These sites are generally spread throughout the city but are predominately located within the CS zone along El Camino Real with additional sites in the Downtown and North Ventura Coordinated Area Plan (NVCAP) areas, and along Colorado Avenue and San Antonio Road. SITES WITHIN 0.5 MILE OF A CALTRAIN STATION This strategy focuses on facilitating transit-oriented residential development within a 0.5-mile buffer of the three Caltrain stations that serve Palo Alto, which includes the Downtown, California Avenue, and San Antonio Stations. Twenty-seven sites located within 0.25 mile of one of these stations were identified to be re-zoned to allow multi-family development at densities up to 50 dwelling units per acre, while 21 sites within 0.25 to 0.5 mile of one of these stations Item 9 Attachment E - Addendum to the Comprehensive Plan EIR (November 2023)        Item 9: Staff Report Pg. 116  Packet Pg. 183 of 511  PROJECT DESCRIPTION 1 4 | P a g e Addendum to the 2030 Comprehensive Plan EIR were identified to be re-zoned to allow up to 40 dwelling units per acre. These sites are primarily located in proximity to the Downtown and California Avenue Stations. SITES WITHIN 0.5 MILE OF FREQUENT BUS ROUTES This strategy would increase residential densities in areas located within walking distance of frequent bus and shuttle service stops, specifically VTA route 22, 522-El Camino Real and VTA route 21 – San Antonio Avenue, Middlefield Road, and University Avenue. These sites are primarily located along El Camino Real. CITY-OWNED PARKING LOTS Several city-owned surface parking lots can be redeveloped to include affordable housing, if appropriate. Four of these sites are located in the University Avenue Downtown area and two additional sites are located near California Avenue, within the California Avenue Business District. SURFACE PARKING AND VACANT LAND ON SITES WITH FAITH-BASED INSTITUTIONS Underutilized areas on sites occupied by faith-based institutions, such as excess parking lots and vacant segments of properties, could accommodate additional residential units. GM AND ROLM ZONES Nearly all sites in GM and ROLM zones are currently occupied by, or reserved for, office uses. This strategy would rezone these sites to allow for high-density multi-family residential uses and would accommodate approximately 35 percent of the city’s overall remaining need. Program 1.1 of the proposed HEU would rezone ROLM and GM zoned properties to allow multi- family residential housing as a permitted use with a base density of 65 dwelling units per acre for those properties nearest Bayshore Freeway and generally bounded by East Charleston Road and Loma Verde Avenue. STANFORD AND EL CAMINO REAL & PAGE MILL ROAD FOCUS AREA SITES Stanford University owns multiple properties within city limits that could be used as sites for potential housing. Two sites were identified for use as residential development under the proposed HEU, which would be available for Stanford University affiliated employees and not for students. In addition, sites surrounding the Stanford University-owned sites in the El Camino Real & Page Mill Road Focus Area have been identified for housing. Program 1.1 would increase development intensity in the El Camino Real & Page Mill Road Focus Area to allow FARs up to 4.0 and heights up to 85 feet. ADDITIONAL SITES IDENTIFIED BY CITY STAFF Twenty-two additional sites were included in the Sites Inventory. These are sites where development interest has been expressed, sites that have been pre-screened by developers for residential projects, or the sites adequate for Palo Alto’s Housing Incentives Program (HIP).

The City of Palo Alto has assumed a 10 percent buffer which requires the site identification of an additional 609 units for a total of 6,695. As shown in the table, with entitled and proposed development, ADUs, underutilized sites with no rezoning required, and rezoning to meet the RHNA, a total of 6,793 units can be accommodated, which is more than the RHNA plus 10 percent buffer of 6,695 units.

OTHER ZONING CHANGES NOT REQUIRED TO MEET THE RHNA The HEU includes additional programs to support housing development production and/or affordability throughout the city, some of which require zoning changes. Although these zoning changes are not required to meet the RHNA, they facilitate the goals of the Housing Element. These programs identified in the proposed HEU could modify zoning standards as follows:  Rezone ROLM and GM zoned properties to increase densities for multi-family residential housing beyond 65 dwelling units per acre, for those properties nearest Bayshore Freeway and generally bounded by East Charleston Road and Loma Verde Avenue. The GM and ROLM zones are shown in Figure 4.  Extend the Affordable Housing Incentive Program (AHIP) to all housing opportunity sites.  Modify AHIP development standards to expand housing feasibility and affordability, including allowing more residential floor area, taller building heights, and align the City’s parking requirements to be consistent with State Density Bonus law.  Modify the Housing Incentive Program (HIP) to amend development standards including floor area, building height, aligning the City’s parking requirements to be consistent with State Density Bonus law; and modifying retail preservation requirements to allow more flexibility in redevelopment outside of essential retail locations (i.e., ground floor (GF) and retail (R) combining districts and strategic locations generally depicted in the draft South El Camino Real Design Guidelines). These revisions will promote greater housing production and affordability.

The zoning changes resulting from the implementation of these Housing Element programs may stimulate development on housing opportunity sites identified in the Housing Element to meet the RHNA or on other sites not identified in the Housing Element. This CEQA document evaluates implementation of this broader set of zoning tools and housing development on sites beyond the Housing Element sites inventory that may take advantage of these incentives. In this way, the analysis accounts for a scenario in which development occurs at a rate higher than it has historically or that is likely to occur.

This reasonable maximum development scenario assumes that the entire housing sites inventory would develop as housing and does not account for removal of existing development (primarily low-rise commercial uses) that would be demolished to allow for housing. As a result, the impact analysis represents a conservative approach of potential impacts. The CEQA analysis for the HEU is focused on the resulting physical changes that would take place as a result of the implementation of the required rezonings to meet RHNA as explained in Section 2.3.3 and program implementation as outlined in Section 2.3.4. As shown on Table 2, there are 299 sites identified to meet RHNA and 122 of those sites do not require a zone change. Therefore, while they are identified sites for purpose of meeting RHNA they are not assessed for the purposes of the CEQA analysis because they could be built to the projected Housing Element buildout with or without adoption of the Housing Element. Further, 20 pipeline sites have been removed from the CEQA buildout assumptions because they are already undergoing or have already undergone project-specific review. Lastly, one site has been added to the CEQA analysis. Therefore, as shown on Table 3, 280 sites are analyzed for the purposes of CEQA. In addition, the CEQA analysis assumes a higher unit yield than what is shown on Table 2 because of an assumed higher density assigned to the RHNA sites. While the assumed yield count is lower for the purposes of demonstrating capacity to meet the RHNA, for the CEQA analysis the assumed yield is higher to allow for a reasonable maximum development scenario to account for potential environmental impacts. Therefore, as shown on Table 3, the assumed unit yield associated with the 280 sites is 6,860 units. In addition, because HEU programs 1.1B, 3.4C, and 3.4C involve increased residential density, the CEQA buildout assumptions include an additional 82 sites and 1,116 units. Table 3 shows the total buildout assumed with implementation of the Housing Element for the purposes of the CEQA analysis, which is 240 sites with a yield of 6,919 units.

The CEQA unit yield is higher than the RHNA sites yield because of an assumed higher density development assigned to some of the sites. 2 These sites do not involve changes in development density (122 sites with 1,057 units) or involve pipeline projects (20 sites with 824 units); therefore, they have been excluded from the CEQA buildout or adjusted because the development density is already permitted. 3 Additional sites added due to higher feasibility of development due to proposed upzoning. 4 HIP allows for greater density and more relaxed development standards thus some developers will take advantage of the incentives. 5 Extending the HIP to the RM zones will allow property owners to take advantage of the development incentives. CEQA BASELINE AND COMPARISON TO THE 2017 EIR The CEQA baseline for this analysis is the maximum allowable development for residential uses under the City’s 2030 Comprehensive Plan Environmental Impact Report (EIR). The Comprehensive Plan Supplement to the Draft EIR analyzed six scenarios for development under the 2030 Comprehensive Plan. Scenario 6 of the 2030 Comprehensive Plan Supplement to the Draft EIR assumed a buildout of 6,000 residential units and 14,080 residents, similar to the residential buildout of the HEU. Table 4 compares the potential buildout under the proposed HEU to the buildout contemplated in Scenario 6 of the Comprehensive Plan EIR. As shown on Table 4, buildout under the proposed HEU would result in 919 more residential units and 3,287 more residents compared to Scenario 6 as studied in the Comprehensive Plan EIR. Additionally, the construction of these units could result in an overall reduction in office uses, but this document utilizes a conservative approach of simply analyzing the additional impacts of the residential units, without assuming a reduction in the commercial buildout that was analyzed for the Comprehensive Plan EIR.

The proposed Housing Element includes the following objectives:  Accommodating projected housing demand, as mandated by the State;  Increasing housing production to meet this demand;  Improving housing affordability;  Preserving existing affordable housing;  Improving the safety, quality and condition of existing housing;  Facilitating the development of housing for all income levels and household types, including special needs population;  Improving the livability and economic prosperity of all City residents; and  Promoting fair housing choice and affirmatively furthering fair housing for all. REQUIRED APPROVALS With recommendations from the Planning and Transportation Commission, the City Council would need to take the following discretionary actions in conjunction with the proposed HEU:  Adoption of the 2023-2031 Housing Element of the Comprehensive Plan  Amendments to the City’s Zoning Ordinance  Amendments to the Comprehensive Plan to ensure internal consistency between the Housing Element and other chapters. This would include changes to land use designations in the Land Use Element and changes to the Safety Element to meet current State law requirements. CALIFORNIA NATIVE AMERICAN TRIBAL CONSULTATION On September 29, 2022, the City of Palo Alto contacted California Native American Tribal governments by sending an Assembly Bill (AB) 52 and Senate Bill (SB) 18 notification letter via email to tribes with an affiliation with the project area based on a list provided by the Native American Heritage Commission (NAHC). Under AB 52, Native American tribes have 30 days to respond and request further project information and request formal consultation. Under SB 18, Native American tribes have 90 days to respond and request further project information and request formal consultation. The City did not receive a request for formal consultation under AB 52 or SB 18. Therefore, no California Native American Tribes traditionally or culturally affiliated with the project area have requested consultation pursuant to Public Resources Code Section 21080.3.1.

The checklist considers the full range of environmental issues subject to analysis under CEQA (in rows), and then poses a series of questions (in columns) aimed at identifying the degree to which the issue was analyzed in the EIR. The checklist also includes a column identifying whether the proposed changes to the Comprehensive Plan meet any of the criteria of CEQA Guidelines Section 15162 requiring a subsequent EIR relative to each environmental issue. The questions posed in each column are described below: Where was impact analyzed? This column provides a cross-reference to the portions of the 2017 EIR where information and analyses may be found relative to the environmental issue listed under each topic. The cross-references identified in this column correspond with page numbers and section numbers of the 2017 EIR. Could proposed changes involve new or substantially more severe impacts? In accordance with the CEQA Guidelines Section 15162(a)(1), this column indicates whether the proposed project would involve new significant environmental impacts or a substantial increase in the severity of identified significant impacts that, in turn, would require major revisions of the 2017 EIR. Are there new circumstances resulting in new or substantially more severe impacts? In accordance with CEQA Guidelines Section 15162(a)(2), this column indicates whether changes to the circumstances under which the proposed project is undertaken or implemented have occurred that would involve new significant environmental impacts or a substantial increase in the severity of identified significant impacts that, in turn, would require major revisions of the 2017 EIR. Is there new information resulting in new or substantially more severe significant impacts? In accordance with CEQA Guidelines Sections 15162(a)(3)(A) and 15162(a)(3)(B), this column indicates whether new information of substantial importance, which was not known and could not have been known with the exercise of reasonable diligence at the time the EIR was certified, shows additional or substantially more severe significant impacts not discussed in the 2017 EIR. Do mitigation measures included in the certified EIR address and/or resolve impacts? In accordance with CEQA Guidelines Sections 15162(a)(3)(C) and 15162(a)(3)(D), this column indicates whether new mitigation measures or alternatives previously found not to be feasible in the 2017 EIR would in fact be feasible and would substantially reduce one or more significant effects of the project, or whether such mitigation measures or alternatives which are considerably different from those analyzed in the 2017 EIR would substantially reduce one or more significant effects on the environment, but the project proponents decline to adopt the mitigation measure or alternative.

The 2017 EIR determined that the 2030 Comprehensive Plan would have significant but mitigable impacts related to aesthetics. The 2017 EIR states that the project could potentially substantially degrade the existing visual character or quality of the affected areas of the city and their surroundings since it would introduce housing on sites previously used for non-residential purposes and increase the scale of development on existing housing Item 9 Attachment E - Addendum to the Comprehensive Plan EIR (November 2023)        Item 9: Staff Report Pg. 128  Packet Pg. 195 of 511  IMPACT ANALYSIS AESTHETICS 2 6 | P a g e Addendum to the 2030 Comprehensive Plan EIR sites. Therefore, Mitigation Measure AES-1 would be required and would reduce impacts to a less than significant level. The 2017 EIR found that the 2030 Comprehensive Plan would not significantly alter public viewsheds, view corridors, or scenic resources, and would not create a new source of substantial light or glare which would adversely affect day or nighttime views in the area. These impacts were found to be less than significant. Table 5 lists the mitigation measure from the 2017 EIR related to aesthetics. Table 5 2017 EIR Mitigation Measures: Aesthetics Mitigation Measure # Mitigation Text Impact AES-1: Implementation of the proposed Plan would have the potential to substantially degrade the existing visual character or quality of the area and its surroundings. (Potentially Significant and Mitigable) AES-1 To ensure that increased residential densities would not degrade the visual character or quality of the area, the proposed Plan shall include policies that address the following topics:  High-quality building and site design.  Compatibility with surrounding development and public spaces.  Enhancement of existing commercial centers.  Requirements for landscaping and street trees.  Preservation and creation of a safe and inviting pedestrian environment.  Appropriate building form, massing, and setbacks. Source: City of Palo Alto 2016 PROJECT-SPECIFIC IMPACTS a. Would the project have a substantial adverse effect on a scenic vista? An adverse effect would occur if a proposed plan or project would block or otherwise damage the scenic vista upon implementation. The City does not contain designated scenic views or scenic vistas. However, Palo Alto identifies the backdrop of forested hills to the southwest and San Francisco Bay to the northeast as views that are character-defining features of the city, including the East Bay hills and the Santa Cruz Mountains (City of Palo Alto 2016). The proposed HEU involves policies or programs that could increase allowed height (an estimated additional 10 to 35 feet of height in some zoning districts) and floor area of development in the city. The proposed HEU involves numerous programs and policies to facilitate the development of housing in Palo Alto. However, areas proposed for development were also analyzed for development in the 2017 EIR. Overall, the proposed HEU would result in 919 more residential units compared to what was analyzed in the 2017 EIR. As discussed in the 2017 EIR, future development facilitated by the 2030 Comprehensive Plan would be required to comply with design guidelines such as the El Camino Real Design Guidelines which address site, building, and landscaping design issues; South of Forest Avenue Coordinated Area Plan guidelines which provides planning policies, development regulations, and design guidelines for the South Forest Area; and the Downtown Urban Design Plan which includes conceptual designs for specific locations and offers examples of desirable architectural and landscape Item 9 Attachment E - Addendum to the Comprehensive Plan EIR (November 2023)        Item 9: Staff Report Pg. 129  Packet Pg. 196 of 511  CITY OF PALO ALTO 2023-2031 HOUSING ELEMENT CITY OF PALO ALTO P a g e | 2 7 treatments. These guidelines and standards would also generally apply to development under the HEU. Furthermore, future multi-family development would be subject to the City’s Architectural Review Board and/or designed in accordance with objective multi-family design standards, to ensure that visual resources in Palo Alto are protected through compliance with applicable development standards. However, consistent with what was analyzed in the 2017 EIR, the proposed HEU would introduce housing on sites previously used for non-residential purposes, such as in ROLM and GM zones, and would increase the scale of development on some existing housing sites, leading to newer and larger structures. Nonetheless, even with potentially increased allowed height limits, development facilitated under the proposed HEU compared to what is currently allowed would not substantially block views, as most views are already fully or intermittently impeded by urban development, including mature trees and existing buildings, and urbanized areas do not offer near or far field views of scenic vistas. Therefore, an increase in height would not directly or substantially block views. This impact would be less than significant and would be generally the same as the impact analyzed in the 2017 EIR for the 2030 Comprehensive Plan. Because there would be no new or substantially more severe significant impacts than what was analyzed in the 2017 EIR, further analysis is not warranted. b. Would the project substantially damage scenic resources, including but not limited to, trees, rock outcroppings, and historic buildings within a state scenic highway? While there are no officially designated State scenic highways in Palo Alto, the City identifies several scenic routes, including Sand Hill Road, University Avenue, Embarcadero Road, Page Mill Road, Oregon Expressway, I-280, Arastradero Road (west of Foothill Expressway), Junipero Serra Boulevard/Foothill Expressway, and Skyline Boulevard as having high scenic value (City of Palo Alto 2016). The proposed rezoning that would occur under the proposed HEU would allow for increased residential density in RM-20, RM-30, CN, CC, and CS zones, and would allow for residential uses in non-residential zones such as ROLM and GM zones. Overall, the proposed HEU would result in 919 more units compared to what was analyzed in the 2017 EIR, which could affect scenic views toward scenic routes. However, the housing inventory sites are all located in areas that are already developed, and development would occur on underutilized or non-vacant sites. Furthermore, development within the urbanized areas of the town such as the Downtown area has already been planned to reinforce the existing development pattern. Since there are no State-designated scenic highways in Palo Alto, the HEU would not facilitate development that would substantially damage scenic resources within a state scenic highway. Future multi-family development would be subject to the city’s Major Architectural Review, which would help ensure that development complies with the applicable design guidelines and development standards, including protection of scenic resources. Or, if projects qualify for streamlined review, multifamily projects would be subject to objective design standards that aim to create high-quality design and compatibility with surrounding uses and character. Therefore, this impact would be less than significant, and would be generally the same as the impact analyzed in the 2017 EIR for the 2030 Comprehensive Plan. Because there would be no new or substantially more severe significant impacts than what was analyzed in the 2017 EIR, further analysis is not warranted.

In non-urbanized areas, substantially degrade the existing visual character or quality of public views of the site and its surroundings? (Public views are those that are experienced from a publicly accessible vantage point). If the project is in an urbanized area, would the project conflict with applicable zoning and other regulations governing scenic quality? The proposed HEU includes goals, policies, and programs to encourage housing in Palo Alto. The proposed rezoning that would occur under the proposed HEU would allow for increased residential density in RM-20, RM-30, CN, CC, and CS zones, and would allow for residential uses in non-residential zones such as ROLM and GM zones. Overall, the proposed HEU would result in 919 more units compared to what was analyzed in the 2017 EIR. Additional residential development could result on other sites in urbanized areas of the city as a result of new incentives in the HIP. However, future development would be subject to the city’s Major Architectural Review which includes a hearing and recommendation by the Architectural Review Board on whether the individual project is consistent with the findings for Architectural Review outlined in PAMC Section 18.76.020. Or, if projects qualify for streamlined review, multifamily projects would be subject to objective design standards that aim to create high- quality design and compatibility with surrounding uses and character. This process aims to promote orderly and harmonious development in the city and promote visual environments that are of high aesthetic quality and variety and which, at the same time, are considerate of each other. Additionally, future development in locations within specific area plans would be required to adhere to development guidelines outlined within the respective area plans. Although the proposed HEU would introduce housing on sites previously used for non- residential purposes and increase the height and scale of development on existing underutilized sites, as with the 2017 EIR, future development would be required to comply with policies L-1.1, L-6.1, L-4.2, and N-2.1 of the 2030 Comprehensive Plan, adopted in compliance with Mitigation Measure AES-1 of the 2017 EIR, which would ensure that increased residential densities would not degrade the visual character or quality of the area. Therefore, this impact would be less than significant with mitigation, and would be generally the same as the impact analyzed in the 2017 EIR for the 2030 Comprehensive Plan. Because there would be no new or substantially more severe significant impacts than what was analyzed in the 2017 EIR, further analysis is not warranted. d. Would the project create a new source of substantial light or glare that would adversely affect daytime or nighttime views in the area? Palo Alto is an urbanized city with commensurate level of light and glare. Development facilitated by the project would, in large part, occur as infill on already developed parcels within existing neighborhoods. New lighting could occur on buildings for safety and in pedestrian walkways, and light could be emitted from interior sources through windows on upper stories of tall buildings. The main source of glare would likely be from the sun shining on reflective or light-colored building materials and glazing. Development facilitated by the proposed HEU would occur as redevelopment of existing built and underutilized sites. When facilities such as parking lots are replaced with buildings, these replacements may reduce nighttime sources of light, because parking lots are often more Item 9 Attachment E - Addendum to the Comprehensive Plan EIR (November 2023)        Item 9: Staff Report Pg. 131  Packet Pg. 198 of 511  CITY OF PALO ALTO 2023-2031 HOUSING ELEMENT CITY OF PALO ALTO P a g e | 2 9 brightly lit during the nighttime than most buildings. Development of underutilized parcels may result in new light sources, but they would likely be congruous with nearby light sources (e.g., lighting from residential windows). Furthermore, as the development facilitated by the project would be residential units, light from windows would be mostly filtered or obscured by window coverings. Light spillover from exterior residential lighting is typically blocked by adjacent structures or trees. Furthermore, future development would be required to comply with PAMC Section 18.40.250, which outlines guidelines for building exterior lighting and downward illumination; interior lighting; unnecessary continued illumination; and timing devices and dimmers. Additionally, future commercial and multi-family development would be subject to the city’s Major Architectural Review which would ensure that all development comply with the applicable design guidelines and development standards, including lighting and glare. Overall, new residential development would be in existing residential neighborhoods or along commercial corridors where sources of light and glare already exist. Development under the proposed HEU would not create new sources of substantial light or glare that would adversely affect daytime or nighttime views in the area and the impact therefore would be less than significant. Therefore, this impact would be less than significant, and would be generally the same as the impact analyzed in the 2017 EIR for the 2030 Comprehensive Plan. Because there would be no new or substantially more severe significant impacts than what was analyzed in the 2017 EIR, further analysis is not warranted. CONCLUSION The project would have less than significant impacts on aesthetic resources, the same as those identified in the 2017 EIR, with compliance with policies adopted in compliance with Mitigation Measure AES-1. Therefore, the project would not result in new significant effects not addressed in the prior EIR, and no new mitigation measures are warranted. This issue does not require further study in an EIR.

Would the project convert Prime Farmland, Unique Farmland, Farmland of Statewide Importance (Farmland), as shown on the maps prepared pursuant to the Farmland Mapping and Monitoring Program of the California Resources Agency, to non-agricultural use? Although there are approximately nine acres of Prime Farmland and 11 acres of Unique Farmland within Palo Alto, none of the sites in the Sites Inventory or areas proposed to be rezoned are located on agricultural land. The proposed HEU would facilitate increased housing on non-vacant and underutilized sites that are in urbanized areas. Therefore, the project would not convert Prime Farmland, Unique Farmland, or Farmland of Statewide Importance to non- agricultural use, and there would be no impact, generally the same as the impact analyzed in the 2017 EIR for the 2030 Comprehensive Plan. Because would be no new or substantially more severe significant impacts than what was analyzed in the 2017 EIR, further analysis is not warranted. b. Would the project conflict with existing zoning for agricultural use, or a Williamson Act contract? According to the 2017 EIR, there are a total of 24 properties under the Williamson Act Contract. The proposed HEU would facilitate increased housing on non-vacant and underutilized sites that are in urbanized areas and would not involve changes to existing agricultural land or conflict with a Williamson Act Contract. Therefore, there would be no impact, generally the same as the impact analyzed in the 2017 EIR for the 2030 Comprehensive Plan. Because there would be no new or substantially more severe significant impacts than what was analyzed in the 2017 EIR, further analysis is not warranted. c. Would the project conflict with existing zoning for, or cause rezoning of, forest land (as defined in Public Resources Code Section 12220(g)), timberland (as defined by Public Resources Code Section 4526), or timberland zoned Timberland Production (as defined by Government Code Section 51104(g))? d. Would the project result in the loss of forest land or conversion of forest land to non-forest use? e. Would the project involve other changes in the existing environment, which, due to their location or nature, could result in conversion of Farmland to non-agricultural use? According to the 2017 EIR and the California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection (CAL FIRE), forest lands are primarily located in the southern foothills. CAL FIRE also shows scattered, isolated forestland within urbanized areas of the city. However, these areas are contained within parks, creek corridors, and built-out residential neighborhoods. No forest land, timberland, or timberland zoned Timberland Production are proposed for redevelopment, rezoning, or land use changes by the proposed HEU. The proposed HEU would facilitate increased housing only on non-vacant and underutilized sites that are in urbanized areas. Therefore, there would be no impact, generally the same as the impact analyzed in the 2017 EIR for the 2030 Comprehensive Plan. Because there would be no new or substantially more Item 9 Attachment E - Addendum to the Comprehensive Plan EIR (November 2023)        Item 9: Staff Report Pg. 135  Packet Pg. 202 of 511  CITY OF PALO ALTO 2023-2031 HOUSING ELEMENT CITY OF PALO ALTO P a g e | 3 3 severe significant impacts than what was analyzed in the 2017 EIR, further analysis is not warranted. CONCLUSION The project would have less than significant impacts on agriculture or forestry resources, the same as those identified in the 2017 EIR. Therefore, the project would not result in new significant effects not addressed in the prior EIR, and no new mitigation measures are warranted. This issue does not require further study in an EIR.

EIR Pages 4.2-29 through 4.2-31 No No No N/A ANALYSIS IN PREVIOUS ENVIRONMENTAL DOCUMENTS Section 4.2, Air Quality, of the 2017 EIR analyzed the 2030 Comprehensive Plan’s impacts related to air quality. The 2017 EIR found that implementation of the 2030 Comprehensive Plan could conflict with or obstruct the implementation of the 2010 Bay Area Clean Air Plan. Although Scenario 6 was found to result in a lower vehicle miles traveled (VMT) per capita and a lower VMT per service population than under existing conditions at the time, it could not be verified whether the 2030 Comprehensive Plan would aid or hinder implementation of control measures outlined in the 2010 Bay Area Clean Air Plan. Therefore, Mitigation Measure AIR-1 would be required to reduce impacts to a less than significant level. The 2017 EIR also found that the 2030 Comprehensive Plan could violate an air quality standard; contribute substantially to an existing or project air quality violation; and/or result in a cumulatively considerable net increase of any criteria pollutant for which the project region is nonattainment under an applicable federal or State ambient air quality standard, resulting in significant and unavoidable impacts. Even with implementation of mitigation measures AIR-2a through 2d, impacts would be significant since future development projects would contribute to increases in concentrations of air pollutants. Item 9 Attachment E - Addendum to the Comprehensive Plan EIR (November 2023)        Item 9: Staff Report Pg. 138  Packet Pg. 205 of 511  IMPACT ANALYSIS AIR QUALITY 3 6 | P a g e Addendum to the 2030 Comprehensive Plan EIR The 2017 EIR found that implementation of the 2030 Comprehensive Plan could expose sensitive receptors to substantial concentrations of Toxic Air Contaminants (TACs), and mitigation measures AIR-3a through 3d would be required to reduce impacts to a less than significant level. Additionally, the implementation of the 2030 Comprehensive Plan could expose a substantial number of people to objectionable odors. Therefore, mitigation measure AIR-4 would be required to reduce odor impacts to a less than significant level. Table 6 lists the mitigation measures from the 2017 EIR related to air quality. Table 6 2017 EIR Mitigation Measures: Air Quality Mitigation Measure # Mitigation Text Impact AIR-1: Without inclusion of air quality policies, implementation of the proposed Plan could conflict with or obstruct implementation of the applicable air quality plan. (Significant and Mitigable) AIR-1 To ensure consistency with the 2010 Bay Area Clean Air Plan, the proposed Plan shall include policies that address the following topics:  Reduction in emissions of particulates from automobiles, manufacturing, construction activity, and other sources (e.g. dry cleaning, wood burning, landscape maintenance).  Support for regional, State, and federal programs that improve air quality.  Support for transit, bicycling, and walking.  Mix of uses (e.g. housing near employment centers) and development types (e.g. infill) to reduce the need to drive. Impact AIR-2: Implementation of the proposed Plan could violate an air quality standard; contribute substantially to an existing or project air quality violation; and/or result in a cumulatively considerable net increase of any criteria pollutant for which the Project region is nonattainment under an applicable federal or State ambient air quality standard (including releasing emissions which exceed quantitative thresholds for ozone precursors). (Significant and Unavoidable) AIR-2a As part of the City’s development approval process, the City shall require applicants for future development projects to comply with the current BAAQMD basic control measures for reducing construction emissions of PM10 (Table 8-1, Basic Construction Mitigation Measures Recommended for All Proposed Projects, of the BAAQMD CEQA Guidelines). AIR-2b Prior to issuance of construction permits, development project applicants that are subject to CEQA and have the potential to exceed the BAAQMD screening-criteria listed in the BAAQMD CEQA Guidelines shall prepare and submit to the City of Palo Alto a technical assessment evaluating potential project construction-related air quality impacts. The evaluation shall be prepared in conformance with BAAQMD methodology in assessing air quality impacts. If construction related criteria air pollutants are determined to have the potential to exceed the BAAQMD thresholds of significance, as identified in the BAAQMD CEQA Guidelines, the City of Palo Alto shall require that applicants for new development projects incorporate mitigation measures (Table 8-2, Additional Construction Mitigation Measures Recommended for Projects with Construction Emissions Above the Threshold, of the BAAQMD CEQA Guidelines or applicable construction mitigation measures subsequently approved by BAAQMD) to reduce air pollutant emissions during construction activities to below these thresholds. These identified measures shall be incorporated into all appropriate construction documents (e.g., construction management plans) submitted to the City and shall be verified by the City’s Planning and Community Environment Department. AIR-2c To ensure that development projects that have the potential to exceed the BAAQMD screening criteria air pollutants listed in the BAAQMD CEQA Guidelines reduce regional air pollutant emissions below the BAAQMD thresholds of significance, the proposed Plan shall include policies that address the following topic:  Require compliance with BAAQMD requirements, including BAAQMD CEQA Guidelines Item 9 Attachment E - Addendum to the Comprehensive Plan EIR (November 2023)        Item 9: Staff Report Pg. 139  Packet Pg. 206 of 511  CITY OF PALO ALTO 2023-2031 HOUSING ELEMENT CITY OF PALO ALTO P a g e | 3 7 Mitigation Measure # Mitigation Text AIR-2d Implement Mitigation Measure TRANS-1a. In addition, to reduce long-term air quality impacts by emphasizing walkable neighborhoods and supporting alternative modes of transportation., the proposed Plan shall include policies that address the following topic:  Enhanced pedestrian and bicycle connections between commercial and mixed-use centers. Impact AIR-3: Implementation of the proposed Plan would expose sensitive receptors to substantial concentrations of air pollution. (Significant and Mitigable) AIR-3a The City of Palo Alto shall update its CEQA Procedures to require that future non-residential projects within the city that: 1) have the potential to generate 100 or more diesel truck trips per day or have 40 or more trucks with operating diesel powered TRUs, and 2) are within 1,000 feet of a sensitive land use (e.g., residential, schools, hospitals, nursing homes), as measured from the property line of a proposed project to the property line of the nearest sensitive use, shall submit a health risk assessment (HRA) to the City of Palo Alto prior to future discretionary Project approval or shall comply with best practices recommended for implementation by the BAAQMD. The HRA shall be prepared in accordance with policies and procedures of the State Office of Environmental Health Hazard Assessment and the Bay Area Air Quality Management District. If the HRA shows that the incremental cancer risk exceeds the BAAQMD significance thresholds, the applicant will be required to identify and demonstrate that mitigation measures are capable of reducing potential cancer and noncancer risks to an acceptable level, including appropriate enforcement mechanisms. Mitigation measures and best practices may include but are not limited to:  Restricting idling on-site beyond Air Toxic Control Measures idling restrictions, as feasible.  Electrifying warehousing docks.  Requiring use of newer equipment and/or vehicles.  Restricting off-site truck travel through the creation of truck routes. Mitigation measures identified in the project-specific HRA shall be identified as mitigation measures in the environmental document and/or incorporated into the site development plan as a component of a proposed project. AIR-3b To ensure that new industrial and warehousing projects with the potential to generate new stationary and mobile sources of air toxics that exceed the BAAQMD project level and/or cumulative significance thresholds for toxic air contaminants and PM2.5 listed in the BAAQMD CEQA Guidelines reduce emissions below the BAAQMD thresholds of significance, the proposed Plan shall include policies that address the following topic:  Require compliance with BAAQMD requirements, including BAAQMD CEQA Guidelines. AIR-3c The City of Palo Alto shall update its CEQA Procedures to require that residential and other sensitive land use projects (e.g., hospitals, nursing homes, and day care centers) that are subject to CEQA and are not classified as exempt within 1,000 feet of a major sources of TACs (e.g., warehouses, industrial areas, freeways, and roadways with traffic volumes over 10,000 vehicle per day), as measured from the property line of the project to the property line of the source/edge of the nearest travel lane, shall submit a health risk assessment (HRA) to the City of Palo Alto prior to future discretionary Project approval or shall comply with best practices recommended by the BAAQMD. The HRA shall be prepared in accordance with policies and procedures of the State Office of Environmental Health Hazard Assessment (OEHHA) and the BAAQMD. The latest OEHHA guidelines shall be used for the analysis, including age sensitivity factors, breathing rates, and body weights appropriate for children age zero to 16 years. If the HRA exceeds the BAAQMD significance thresholds, the applicant will be required to identify and demonstrate that mitigation measures are capable of reducing potential cancer and non-cancer risks to an acceptable level (i.e., below 10 in one million or a hazard index of 1.0), including appropriate enforcement mechanisms. Measures and/or best practices to reduce risk may include but are not limited to:  Air intakes located away from high volume roadways and/or truck loading zones.  Heating, ventilation, and air conditioning systems of the buildings provided with appropriately sized Maximum Efficiency Rating Value (MERV) filters.

Impact AIR-4: Implementation of the proposed Plan could create or expose a substantial number of people to objectionable odors unless policies are integrated into the proposed Plan. (Significant and Mitigable) AIR-4 To reduce odor impacts, the proposed Plan shall include policies that address the following topic:  Buffers and other mitigation methods to avoid human health impacts from sources of odor and/or toxic air contaminants. Source: City of Palo Alto 2016 BAAQMD SIGNIFICANCE THRESHOLDS This analysis uses the Bay Area Air Quality Management District’s (BAAQMD’s) May 2017 CEQA Air Quality Guidelines to evaluate air quality. The plan-level thresholds specified in the May 2017 BAAQMD CEQA Air Quality Guidelines were used to determine whether the proposed HEU’s impacts would exceed the thresholds identified in CEQA Guidelines Appendix G. CONSISTENCY WITH AIR QUALITY PLAN Under BAAQMD’s methodology, a determination of consistency with CEQA Guidelines thresholds should demonstrate that a project: 1. Supports the primary goals of the 2017 Clean Air Plan 2. Includes applicable control measures from the 2017 Clean Air Plan 3. Does not disrupt or hinder implementation of any 2017 Clean Air Plan control measures CONSTRUCTION EMISSIONS THRESHOLDS The BAAQMD’s May 2017 CEQA Air Quality Guidelines have no plan-level significance thresholds for construction air pollutants emissions. However, they do include project-level screening and emissions thresholds for temporary construction-related emissions of air pollutants. These thresholds represent the levels at which a project’s individual emissions of criteria air pollutants or precursors would result in a cumulatively considerable contribution to the San Francisco Bay Area Air Basin’s (SFBAAB) existing air quality conditions and are discussed in detail below (BAAQMD 2017a). Construction emissions associated with plan implementation are discussed qualitatively to evaluate potential air quality impacts. The BAAQMD developed screening criteria in the 2017 CEQA Air Quality Guidelines to provide lead agencies and project applicants with a conservative indication of whether a project could Item 9 Attachment E - Addendum to the Comprehensive Plan EIR (November 2023)        Item 9: Staff Report Pg. 141  Packet Pg. 208 of 511  CITY OF PALO ALTO 2023-2031 HOUSING ELEMENT CITY OF PALO ALTO P a g e | 3 9 result in potentially significant air quality impacts. The screening criteria for residential land uses are shown in Table 7.

These screening levels are generally representative of new development on greenfield sites without any form of mitigation measures taken into consideration (BAAQMD 2017a). In addition to the screening levels above, several additional factors are outlined in the 2017 CEQA Air Quality Guidelines that construction activities must satisfy for a project to meet the construction screening criteria:  All basic construction measures from the 2017 CEQA Guidelines must be included in project design and implemented during construction  Construction-related activities would not include any of the following:  Demolition  Simultaneous occurrence of more than two construction phases (e.g., paving and building construction would occur simultaneously)  Simultaneous construction of more than one land use type (e.g., project would develop residential and commercial uses on the same site) (not applicable to high density infill development)  Extensive material transport (e.g., greater than 10,000 cubic yards of soil import/export) requiring a considerable amount of haul truck activity For projects that do not meet the screening criteria above, the BAAQMD construction significance thresholds for criteria air pollutants, shown in Table 8, are used to evaluate a project’s potential air quality impacts.

For projects that exceed the thresholds in Table 8, the BAAQMD 2017 CEQA Air Quality Guidelines recommends implementation of the Additional Construction mitigation measures listed in Table 8-3 of the Guidelines (BAAQMD 2017a). OPERATIONAL EMISSIONS THRESHOLDS The BAAQMD’s 2017 CEQA Air Quality Guidelines contain specific operational plan-level significance thresholds for criteria air pollutants. Plans must show the following over the planning period:  Consistency with current air quality plan control measures, and  A proposed plan’s projected VMT or vehicle trips (either measure may be used) increase is less than or equal to the plan’s projected population increase. The current air quality plan is the 2017 Clean Air Plan. If a plan can demonstrate consistency with both criteria, then impacts would be less than significant. For project-level thresholds, the screening criteria for operational emissions are shown in Table 7. For projects that do not meet the screening criteria, the BAAQMD operational significance thresholds for criteria air pollutants, shown in Table 8, are used to evaluate a project’s potential air quality impacts. CARBON MONOXIDE HOTSPOTS BAAQMD provides a preliminary screening methodology to conservatively determine whether a proposed project would exceed carbon monoxide (CO) thresholds. If the following criteria are met, a project would result in a less than significant impact related to local CO concentrations: The project is consistent with an applicable congestion management program established by the county congestion management agency for designated roads or highways, regional transportation plan, and local congestion management agency plans.

Project traffic would not increase traffic volumes at affected intersections to more than 24,000 vehicles per hour where vertical and/or horizontal mixing is substantially limited (e.g., tunnel, parking garage, bridge underpass, natural or urban street canyon, below-grade roadway). A CO hotspot is a localized concentration of CO that is above a CO ambient air quality standard. The entire Basin is in conformance with state and federal CO standards (BAAQMD 2017c). There are no current exceedances of CO standards within the BAAQMD jurisdiction and have not had a CO exceedance in the Bay Area since before 1994.3 For 2019 the Bay Area’s reported maximum 1-hour and average daily concentrations of CO were 5.6 ppm and 1.7 ppm respectively (BAAQMD 2019).4 These are well below the respective 1-hour and 8-hour standards of 20 ppm and 9 ppm. Given the ambient concentrations, which include mobile as well as stationary sources, a project in the Bay Area would need to emit concentrations three times the hourly maximum ambient emissions for all sources before project emissions would exceed the 1-hour standard. Additionally, the project would need to emit seven times the daily average for ambient concentrations to exceed the 8-hour standards. Typical development projects, even plan level growth, would not emit the levels of CO necessary to result in a localized hot spot. TOXIC AIR CONTAMINANTS For health risks associated with TAC and PM2.5 emissions, the BAAQMD May 2017 CEQA Air Quality Guidelines state a project would result in a significant impact if the any of the following thresholds are exceeded (BAAQMD 2017b):  Non-compliance with Qualified Community Risk Reduction Plan;  Increased cancer risk of > 10.0 in a million;  Increased non-cancer risk of > 1.0 Hazard Index (Chronic or Acute); or  Ambient PM2.5 increase of > 0.3 µg/m3 annual average ODORS The BAAQMD provides minimum distances for siting of new odor sources shown in Table 9. A significant impact would occur if the project would result in other emissions (such as odors) affecting substantial numbers of people or would site a new odor source as shown in Table 9 within the specified distances of existing receptors. 3 BAAQMD only has records for annual air quality summaries dating back to 1994. 4 Data for 2019 was used as the data for 2020 and 2021 are not currently available.

Construction of development facilitated by the project would generate temporary emissions from three primary sources: the operation of construction vehicles (e.g., scrapers, loaders, dump trucks, etc.); ground disturbance during site preparation and grading, which creates fugitive dust; and the application of asphalt, paint, or other oil-based substances. At this time, there is not sufficient detail to provide analysis of individual construction projects that would be facilitated by the project, and thus it would be speculative to analyze project- level impacts. Rather, consistent with the programmatic nature of the project, construction impacts for the project are discussed qualitatively and emissions are not compared to the project-level thresholds. OPERATION EMISSIONS Based on plan-level guidance from the BAAQMD 2017 CEQA Air Quality Guidelines, long-term operational emissions associated with implementation of the proposed project are discussed qualitatively by comparing the proposed project to the 2017 Clean Air Plan goals, policies, and control measures. In addition, comparing the rate of increase of plan vehicle trips or VMT and population is recommended by BAAQMD for determining significance of criteria pollutants. If the proposed project does not meet either criterion then impacts would be potentially significant.

Would the project conflict with or obstruct implementation of the applicable air quality plan? The most current clean air plan, Spare the Air, Cool the Climate: A Blueprint for Clean Air and Climate Protection in the Bay Area (2017 Clean Air Plan) was adopted by BAAQMD April 2017 (BAAQMD 2017b). The legal impetus for the 2017 Clean Air Plan was to update the previous 2010 Clean Air Plan to comply with State air quality planning requirements as codified in the California Health & Safety Code. The 2017 Clean Air Plan either has updated or replaced the air quality plans that were discussed in the 2017 EIR. The California Clean Air Act requires that air districts create a Clean Air Plan that describes how the jurisdiction will meet air quality standards. To fulfill State ozone planning requirements, the 2017 Clean Air Plan control strategy includes all feasible measures to reduce emissions of ozone precursors—ROG and NOX—and reduce transport of ozone and its precursors to neighboring air basins. The Clean Air Plan builds upon and enhances the BAAQMD’s efforts to reduce emissions of fine particulate matter and TACs. The 2017 Clean Air Plan does not include control measures that apply directly to individual development projects. Instead, the control strategy includes control measures related to stationary sources, transportation, energy, buildings, agriculture, natural and working lands, waste management, water, and super-GHG pollutants. The 2017 Clean Air Plan focuses on two paramount goals, both consistent with the mission of BAAQMD:  Protect air quality and health at the regional and local scale by attaining all national and state air quality standards and eliminating disparities among Bay Area communities in cancer health risk from TACs; and  Protect the climate by reducing Bay Area GHG emissions to 40 percent below 1990 levels by 2030, and 80 percent below 1990 levels by 2050 Under BAAQMD’s methodology, a determination of consistency with the 2017 Plan should demonstrate that a project:  Supports the primary goals of the air quality plan  Includes applicable control measures from the air quality plan  Does not disrupt or hinder implementation of any air quality plan control measures A project that would not support the 2017 Clean Air Plan’s goals would not be considered consistent with the 2017 Clean Air Plan. Table 10 shows project consistency with applicable control measures from the 2017 Clean Air Plan.

Encourage planning for bicycle and pedestrian facilities in local plans, e.g., general and specific plans, fund bike lanes, routes, paths and bicycle parking facilities. Consistent: The proposed HEU would facilitate development of increased housing compared to the 2030 Comprehensive Plan within urbanized sites and in areas such as along El Camino Real, the California Avenue area, the Downtown area, near Bayshore Road, and in underutilized commercial areas. These areas are mostly near or adjacent to transportation corridors currently served by Class I, II, and III bicycle lanes such as University Avenue, Bryant Street, California Avenue, and Bayshore Road, which would encourage the use of bicycles and reduce reliance on single-occupancy vehicles. Future residents would also be able to utilize bicycle parking facilities around the city which would encourage residents to bicycle and walk to transit and services (City of Palo Alto 2012). Energy EN2: Decrease Electricity Demand. Work with local governments to adopt additional energy- efficiency policies and programs. Support local government energy efficiency program via best practices, model ordinances, and technical support. Work with partners to develop messaging to decrease electricity demand during peak times. Consistent. Development facilitated by the project would be required to comply with the PAMC Chapters 16.14 (California Green Building Standards Code) and 16.17 (California Energy Code), which mandates the implementation of the City’s sustainability and energy efficiency measures. Newly constructed buildings would be required to comply with the City’s All-Electric Mandate which requires an all-electric building design for single-family, low-rise multi-family, and non- residential development (City of Palo Alto 2022a). Although the inclusion of all-electric construction would increase electricity demand, electricity would be provided by City of Palo Alto Utilities (CPAU), which has provided 100 percent carbon neutral electricity since 2013 (City of Palo Alto 2022b). Buildings BL1: Green Buildings. Collaborate with partners such as KyotoUSA to identify energy-related improvements and opportunities for on-site renewable energy systems in school districts; investigate funding strategies to implement upgrades. Identify barriers to effective local implementation of the CALGreen (Title 24) statewide building energy code; develop solutions to improve implementation/enforcement. Work with ABAG’s BayREN program to make additional funding available for energy-related projects in the buildings sector. Engage with additional partners to target reducing emissions from specific types of buildings. Consistent: Development facilitated by the project would be required to comply with the energy and sustainability standards of Title 24 (including the California Energy Code and CALGreen) and the City’s associated amendments that are in effect at that time. For example, the current 2022 CALGreen standards require a minimum of 65 percent diversion of construction and demolition debris while the City’s Construction and Demolition Debris Diversion Ordinance (PAMC Section 16.14.260) requires a minimum of 80 percent diversion for projects with a valuation of $25,000 or greater. Future development would be required to comply with the most recent Title 24 standards, which are updated every three years and become increasingly more stringent over time. Future development would also be subject to the Reach Code which would requires all-electric building design for single-family, low- rise multi-family, and non-residential development. Pursuant to Section 16.14.420 of the PAMC, new multi-family residences would be required to provide at least one Electric Vehicle Supply Equipment (EVSE) Ready outlet or EVSE installed for each residential unit in the structure for residential parking, and would be required to provide Conduit Only, EVSE Ready Outlet, or EVSE installed for at least 25 percent of guest parking spaces, among which at least 5 percent shall be EVSE installed. Future development facilitated by the project would be required to comply with the most updated EV requirements in both the City’s Reach Code and Title 24 at the time of construction.

Source: BAAQMD 2017b As shown in Table 10, the project would be consistent with the applicable measures as development facilitated by the project would be required to comply with the latest Title 24 regulations and would increase density along transportation corridors and in the downtown area, allowing for greater use of alternative modes of transportation. Development facilitated by the project would not contain elements that would disrupt or hinder implementation of a 2017 Clean Air Plan control measures. Therefore, the project would be consistent with the 2017 Clean Air Plan. PROJECT VEHICLE TRIP AND POPULATION GROWTH According to the BAAQMD 2017 CEQA Air Quality Guidelines, the threshold for criteria air pollutants and precursors includes an assessment of the rate of increase of either the plan VMT or vehicle trips versus population growth. As discussed above under Environmental Setting, to result in a less than significant impact, the analysis must show that either the project’s projected VMT or vehicle trip increase would be less than or equal to its projected population increase. As shown in Table 11, vehicle trips associated with project buildout would increase by approximately 17.3 percent over baseline 2015 conditions and would not exceed the rate of increase from the forecast population of approximately 24.8 percent over baseline 2015 conditions. Therefore, the project’s vehicle trip increase would not conflict with the BAAQMD’s 2017 CEQA Air Quality Guidelines operational plan-level significance thresholds for criteria air pollutants and would be consistent with the 2017 Clean Air Plan. Accordingly, impacts would be less than significant, and would be generally the same as the impact analyzed in the 2017 EIR for the 2030 Comprehensive Plan.

Would the project violate any air quality standard or contribute substantially to an existing or projected air quality violation? CONSTRUCTION Development facilitated by the proposed HEU would involve activities that result in air pollutant emissions. Construction activities such as demolition, grading, construction worker travel, delivery and hauling of construction supplies and debris, and fuel combustion by on-site construction equipment would generate pollutant emissions. These construction activities would temporarily create emissions of dust, fumes, equipment exhaust, and other air contaminants, particularly during site preparation and grading. The extent of daily emissions, particularly ROGs and NOX emissions, generated by construction equipment, would depend on the quantity of equipment used and the hours of operation for each project. The extent of PM2.5 and PM10 emissions would depend upon the following factors: 1) the amount of disturbed soils; 2) the length of disturbance time; 3) whether existing structures are demolished; 4) whether excavation is involved; and 5) whether transporting excavated materials offsite is necessary. Dust emissions can lead to both nuisance and health impacts. According to the 2017 BAAQMD CEQA Air Quality Guidelines, PM10 is the greatest pollutant of concern during construction (BAAQMD 2017a). As discussed above under BAAQMD Significance Thresholds, BAAQMD’s 2017 CEQA Air Quality Guidelines have no plan-level significance thresholds for construction air pollutant emissions that would apply to the project. However, the guidelines include project-level thresholds for construction emissions. If an individual project’s construction emissions fall below the project- level thresholds, the project’s impacts on regional air quality would be individually and cumulatively less than significant. Mitigation Measure AIR-2b of the 2017 EIR would require future development that does not meet the BAAQMD construction screening criteria under Table 7 to conduct individual air quality analysis and compare emissions to BAAQMD significance thresholds as detailed under Table 8, and to implement mitigation measures to reduce emissions. Construction of development envisioned under the project would temporarily increase air pollutant emissions, possibly creating localized areas of unhealthy air pollution concentrations or air quality nuisances. Therefore, construction air quality impacts would be potentially significant. Furthermore, site preparation and grading during construction activities facilitated by development under the proposed project may cause wind-blown dust that could contribute particulate matter into the local atmosphere. The BAAQMD has not established a quantitative threshold for fugitive dust emissions but rather states that projects that incorporate best management practices (BMPs) for fugitive dust control during construction would have a less- than-significant impact related to fugitive dust emissions. The BAAQMD has identified feasible fugitive dust control measures for construction activities. These Basic Construction Mitigation Measures are recommended for all projects (BAAQMD 2017a). In addition, the BAAQMD and CARB have regulations that address the handling of hazardous air pollutants such as lead and asbestos, which could be aerially disbursed during demolition activities. BAAQMD rules and regulations address both the handling and transport of these contaminants.

However, as discussed in the 2017 EIR, construction impacts would still remain significant and unavoidable due to the programmatic nature of the project, similar to the 2030 Comprehensive Plan as analyzed in the 2017 EIR. Because there would be no new or substantially more severe significant impacts than what was analyzed in the 2017 EIR, further analysis is not warranted. OPERATION According to the BAAQMD 2017 CEQA Air Quality Guidelines, the threshold for criteria air pollutants and precursors includes an assessment of the rate of increase of plan VMT or vehicle trips versus population growth. As discussed above under Environmental Setting, to result in a less than significant impact, the analysis must show that the project’s projected VMT or vehicle trips increase would be less than or equal to its projected population increase. Table 11 under Checklist Question (a) summarizes the net increase in population versus vehicle trips based on modeling performed by Hexagon Transportation Consultants, Inc. Because the vehicle trips associated with project buildout would increase by approximately 17.3 percent over baseline 2015 conditions, it would not exceed the rate of increase from the forecast population growth of approximately 24.8 percent over baseline 2015 conditions. Vehicle trips increase at a lower percentage because the proposed project would concentrate increased residential units in proximity to jobs and services to reduce singular vehicle trips and encourage alternative models of travel. Therefore, impacts concerning criteria pollutants generated from operation of the project would be less than significant and would be generally the same as for the 2030 Comprehensive Plan as analyzed in the 2017 EIR. Future development would continue to be required to implement policies N-5.1, N-5.5, T-1.9, and L-2.2 of the 2030 Comprehensive Plan, adopted in compliance with mitigation measures AIR-2c and 2d of the 2017 EIR, which would require compliance with BAAQMD requirements and support for alternative modes of transportation. However, as analyzed in the 2017 EIR, Scenario 6 would cumulatively contribute to the nonattainment designations (ozone, PM10, and PM2.5) of the Basin and would have a significant and unavoidable impact by contributing to the regional air quality problem. Therefore, since the proposed HEU would increase the number of residential units by 919 units compared to Scenario 6, operational impacts for the proposed HEU would be slightly increased compared to those identified in the 2017 EIR and would remain significant and unavoidable. However, similar to the 2017 EIR, development facilitated by the proposed HEU would place residents in urbanized areas in proximity to services, jobs, and transit, which would reduce VMT by reducing reliance on single-occupancy vehicles. Additionally, the prohibition of natural gas and inclusion of all-electric new construction would reduce the amount of criteria air pollutants, and the required inclusion of EVSE in new multi- family dwelling units would also further reduce emissions due to increased vehicle efficiency. Because there would be no new or substantially more severe significant impacts than what was analyzed in the 2017 EIR, further analysis is not warranted. Item 9 Attachment E - Addendum to the Comprehensive Plan EIR (November 2023)        Item 9: Staff Report Pg. 150  Packet Pg. 217 of 511  IMPACT ANALYSIS AIR QUALITY 4 8 | P a g e Addendum to the 2030 Comprehensive Plan EIR c. Would the project result in a cumulatively considerable net increase of any criteria pollutant for which the project region is non-attainment under an applicable federal or state ambient air quality standard (including releasing emissions that exceed quantitative thresholds for ozone precursors)? CARBON MONOXIDE HOTSPOTS As discussed above under BAAQMD Significance Thresholds, typical development projects, even plan level growth, would not emit the levels of CO necessary to result in a localized hotspot. Therefore, CO hotspots are not discussed further in this analysis. Impacts to CO hotspots would be less than significant and would be generally the same as the impact analyzed in the 2017 EIR for the 2030 Comprehensive Plan. Because there would be no new or substantially more severe significant impacts than what was analyzed in the 2017 EIR, further analysis is not warranted. TOXIC AIR CONTAMINANTS CONSTRUCTION Construction-related activities would result in short-term emissions of diesel particulate matter (DPM) exhaust emissions from off-road, heavy-duty diesel equipment for site preparation (e.g., excavation, grading, and clearing), building construction, and other miscellaneous activities. DPM was identified as a TAC by CARB in 1998. The potential cancer risk from the inhalation of DPM, as discussed below, outweighs the potential non-cancer5 health impacts (CARB 2021). Generation of DPM from construction typically occurs in a single area for a short period. Construction of development facilitated by the project would occur over approximately a decade, but use of diesel-powered construction equipment in any one area would likely occur for no more than a few years for an individual project and would cease when construction is completed in that area. It is impossible to quantify risk without identified specific project details, timelines, and locations. Projects developed under the proposed HEU would be required to comply with applicable BAAQMD regulatory requirements and control strategies and the CARB In-Use Off-Road Diesel Vehicle Regulation, which are intended to reduce emissions from construction equipment and activities. Additionally, future development facilitated by the proposed HEU would be required to comply with Mitigation Measure AQ-2a of the 2017 EIR, requiring implementation of construction emission measures that would reduce construction-related TACs. According to the OEHHA, construction of individual projects lasting longer than two months or placed within 1,000 feet of sensitive receptors could potentially expose nearby sensitive receptors to substantial pollutant concentrations and therefore could result in potentially significant risk impacts (OEHHA 2015). These projects could exceed BAAQMD’s thresholds of an increased cancer risk of greater than 10.0 in a million and an increased non-cancer risk of greater than 1.0 Hazard Index (Chronic or Acute). Therefore, construction impacts from TAC emissions would be 5 Non-cancer risks include premature death, hospitalizations and emergency department visits for exacerbated chronic heart and lung disease, including asthma, increased respiratory symptoms, and decreased lung function (CARB 2021a).

However, future development would be required to comply with Mitigation Measure AIR-3a of the 2017 EIR, which outlines requirements for the preparation of health risk assessments (HRA) and the inclusion of best practices, as well as Policy N-5.6 of the 2030 Comprehensive Plan, adopted in compliance with Mitigation Measure AIR-3b of the 2017 EIR, which would ensure compliance with BAAQMD requirements. Therefore, this impact would be less than significant with mitigation, and would be generally the same as for the 2030 Comprehensive Plan as analyzed in the 2017 EIR. There would be no new or substantially more severe significant impacts than what was analyzed in the 2017 EIR, and further analysis is not warranted. OPERATION In the Bay Area, there are several urban or industrialized communities where the exposure to TACs is relatively high in comparison to others. The City of Palo Alto is not located in an impacted community according to BAAQMD CEQA Guidelines. Sources of TACs include, but are not limited to, land uses such as freeways and high-volume roadways, truck distribution centers, ports, rail yards, refineries, chrome plating facilities, dry cleaners using perchloroethylene, and gasoline dispensing facilities (BAAQMD 2017a). Operation of development facilitated by the project would not involve these uses, and therefore, would not be considered a source of TACs. In addition, residences do not typically include new stationary sources onsite, such as emergency diesel generators. However, if a residential project did include a new stationary source onsite, it would be subject to BAAQMD Regulation 2, Rule 2 (New Source Review) and require permitting. This process would ensure that the stationary source does not exceed applicable BAAQMD health risk thresholds. Development facilitated by the project would be required to comply with the residential indoor air quality requirements in the Title 24 Building Energy Efficiency Standards, which currently require Minimum Efficiency Reporting Value 13 (or equivalent) filters for heating/cooling systems and ventilation systems in residences (Section 150.0[m])). Therefore, this impact would be less than significant, and would be generally the same as the impact analyzed in the 2017 EIR for the 2030 Comprehensive Plan. There would be no new or substantially more severe significant impacts than what was analyzed in the 2017 EIR, and further analysis is not warranted. PROJECT SITING Development facilitated by the project would occur under the jurisdiction of BAAQMD. CARB screening methodology for project siting is used in this analysis. In 2005, CARB issued recommendations to avoid siting new residences within 500 feet of a freeway, urban roads with 100,000 vehicles/day, or rural roads with 50,000 vehicles/day or close to known stationary TAC sources (CARB 2005). BAAQMD’s average daily traffic (ADT) threshold is lower, at 10,000 vehicles per day (BAAQMD 2017a). Development facilitated by the project could place sensitive receptors living in housing within approximately 500 to 1,000 feet of roadways with more than 10,000 annual average daily traffic (AADT), and highways or freeways. Examples of roadways with over 10,000 vehicles per day include US 101, SR 82/El Camino Real, I-280, Middlefield Road, Alma Street, Foothill Expressway/Junipero Serra Boulevard, University Avenue, Embarcadero Road, Oregon Item 9 Attachment E - Addendum to the Comprehensive Plan EIR (November 2023)        Item 9: Staff Report Pg. 152  Packet Pg. 219 of 511  IMPACT ANALYSIS AIR QUALITY 5 0 | P a g e Addendum to the 2030 Comprehensive Plan EIR Expressway/Page Mill Road, Charleston Road/ Arastradero Road, and San Antonio Road. In addition, portions of Lytton Avenue, Manhattan Avenue, Arboretum Road, Quarry Road, Pasteur Drive, California Avenue, Fabian Way, and California Street are also identified as high- volume roadways (City of Palo Alto 2017a). Additionally, development facilitated by the project could also place sensitive receptors living in housing in proximity to stationary sources of TACs such as dry cleaners and gasoline-dispensing facilities. The proposed project would facilitate increased housing compared to the 2017 EIR which could potentially expose an increased number of residents to sources of TACs and PM2.5. However, future development would be required to comply with mitigation measures AIR-3c and 3d identified in the 2017 EIR, which would require the preparation of HRAs for residential and sensitive land use projects or new ministerial projects located within 1,000 feet of a major source of TAC. Therefore, this impact would be less than significant with mitigation, generally the same as the impact analyzed in the 2017 EIR for the 2030 Comprehensive Plan. Because here would be no new or substantially more severe significant impacts than what was analyzed in the 2017 EIR, further analysis is not warranted. d. Would the project expose sensitive receptors to substantial pollutant concentrations? During construction activities, heavy equipment and vehicles would emit odors associated with vehicle and engine exhaust both during normal use and when idling. However, these odors would be temporary and transitory and would cease upon completion. Therefore, development facilitated by the project would not generate objectionable odors affecting a substantial number of people. BAAQMD includes odor screening distances for land uses with the potential to generate substantial odor complaints. Those uses include wastewater treatment plants, landfills or transfer stations, refineries, composting facilities, confined animal facilities, food manufacturing, smelting plants, and chemical plants. The proposed HEU includes residential uses which do not typically generate odors. The 2017 EIR included mitigation to address impacts associated with placing new residential uses in proximity to odor sources. Although the proposed project would increase the number of residential units compared to the 2017 EIR, future development would be required to comply with Policy N-5.4 of the 2030 Comprehensive Plan, adopted in compliance with Mitigation Measure AIR-4 of the 2017 EIR, which would reduce the potential for residents to be exposed to odors through buffers and other mitigation methods. Therefore, this impact would be less than significant with mitigation and would be generally the same as for the 2030 Comprehensive Plan as analyzed in the 2017 EIR. Because there would be no new or substantially more severe significant impacts than what was analyzed in the 2017 EIR, further analysis is not warranted. CONCLUSION Although the proposed HEU would facilitate the development of 919 more residential units than analyzed under the 2030 Comprehensive Plan, future development would continue to implement Mitigation Measures 2a and 2b, 3a and 3c, as well as policies adopted in compliance with Mitigation Measures AIR-2c and 2d, 3b, and 4, which would reduce air quality impacts to a Item 9 Attachment E - Addendum to the Comprehensive Plan EIR (November 2023)        Item 9: Staff Report Pg. 153  Packet Pg. 220 of 511  CITY OF PALO ALTO 2023-2031 HOUSING ELEMENT CITY OF PALO ALTO P a g e | 5 1 less than significant level.

Additionally, the 2030 Comprehensive Plan would not conflict with local policies or ordinances protecting biological resources, such as a tree preservation policy, or an adopted Habitat Conservation Plan or Natural Community Conservation Plan. PROJECT-SPECIFIC IMPACTS a. Would the project have a substantial adverse effect, either directly or through habitat modifications, on any species identified as candidate, sensitive, or special status in local or regional plans, policies, or regulations, or by the California Department of Fish and Wildlife or the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service? The proposed HEU would substantially affect special-status species if it would allow development that would remove their habitat such as wetlands or riparian vegetation along non-channelized creeks. Although the proposed HEU would facilitate 919 more residential units compared to what was analyzed in the 2017 EIR, the proposed HEU would only increase residential density on non-vacant and underutilized sites in urbanized areas of the city generally away from open space preserves and non-channelized creeks and would not directly or indirectly impact the habitat of special-status species. Additionally, implementation of the proposed HEU would involve disturbance in the same areas as analyzed in the 2017 EIR (citywide) and the citywide conditions have not substantially changed since the time of the EIR. Therefore, this impact would be less than significant, and would be generally the same as the Item 9 Attachment E - Addendum to the Comprehensive Plan EIR (November 2023)        Item 9: Staff Report Pg. 157  Packet Pg. 224 of 511  CITY OF PALO ALTO 2023-2031 HOUSING ELEMENT CITY OF PALO ALTO P a g e | 5 5 impact analyzed in the 2017 EIR for the 2030 Comprehensive Plan.

Would the project have a substantial adverse effect on any riparian habitat or other sensitive natural community identified in local or regional plans, policies, or regulations, or by the California Department of Fish and Wildlife or U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service? c. Would the project have a substantial adverse effect on federally protected wetlands as defined by Section 404 of the Clean Water Act (including, but not limited to, marsh, vernal pool, coastal, etc.) through direct removal, filling, hydrological interruption, or other means? Similar to what was analyzed in the 2017 EIR, the proposed HEU does not propose development of open space areas, creeks, or wetlands that would result in impacts to these resources. The proposed HEU would only increase density on non-vacant and underutilized sites in urbanized areas of the city. Riparian resources are protected by the City’s tree preservation and management regulations, the Urban Forest Master Plan, and California Fish and Game Code. Future projects that affect the bed, bank, or channel of a creek or stream where riparian vegetation is located would require authorization to do so. Wetlands are protected by the federal Clean Water Act, and impacts to wetlands as a result of future development facilitated by the proposed HEU would require a permit from the United States Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) and the Regional Water Quality Control Board (RWQCB). In addition, implementation of the proposed HEU would involve disturbance in the same areas as analyzed in the 2017 EIR (citywide) and the citywide conditions have not substantially changed since the time of the EIR. Therefore, although the proposed HEU would increase the number of residential units by 919 units compared to what was analyzed in the 2017 EIR, with compliance with existing federal, State, and local regulations, impacts would be less than significant and would be generally the same as the impact analyzed in the 2017 EIR for the 2030 Comprehensive. Because there would be no new or substantially more severe impacts than what was analyzed in the 2017 EIR, further analysis is not warranted. d. Would the project interfere substantially with the movement of any native resident or migratory fish or wildlife species or with established native resident or migratory wildlife corridors, or impede the use of native wildlife nursery sites? Although the proposed HEU would increase the number of residential units by 919 units compared to what was analyzed in the 2017 EIR, it would facilitate development only on non- vacant and underutilized sites in urbanized areas of the city and would not block or remove wildlife corridors or interfere with fish or wildlife migration or rearing sites. The proposed HEU does not envision development in open space areas or within the Baylands area of Palo Alto. Future projects requiring discretionary approval and with the potential to affect wildlife corridors in Palo Alto would be assessed and mitigated during project-specific review under the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA). In addition, future projects that impact creek bed, bank, or channel would require authorization from federal and State agencies, including the USACE, United States Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS), National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) Fisheries, California Department of Fish and Wildlife (CDFW), and Item 9 Attachment E - Addendum to the Comprehensive Plan EIR (November 2023)        Item 9: Staff Report Pg. 158  Packet Pg. 225 of 511  IMPACT ANALYSIS BIOLOGICAL RESOURCES 5 6 | P a g e Addendum to the 2030 Comprehensive Plan EIR RWQCB, as applicable (City of Palo Alto 2017a). Implementation of the proposed HEU would also involve disturbance in the same areas as analyzed in the 2017 EIR (citywide) and the citywide conditions have not substantially changed since the time of the EIR. Therefore, this impact would be less than significant and would be generally the same as the impact analyzed in the 2017 EIR for the 2030 Comprehensive Plan. Because there would be no new or substantially more severe significant impacts than what was analyzed in the 2017 EIR, further analysis is not warranted. e. Would the project conflict with any local policies or ordinances protecting biological resources, such as a tree preservation policy or as defined by the City of Palo Alto’s Tree Preservation Ordinance (Municipal Code Section 8.10)? Although the proposed HEU does not explicitly propose the removal of trees, development facilitated under the proposed HEU could result in the removal of existing trees on private or public properties. Although the proposed HEU would increase the number of residential units by 919 units compared to buildout assumed in the 2017 EIR, future development would be required to comply with the City’s Urban Forest Master Plan; Street Tree Management Plan; Line Clearing Program; Right Tree, Right Place Program; Tree Protection Ordinance Update adopted on June 6, 2022; and Chapter 8.10 of the PAMC which outlines requirements for tree and landscape preservation and management. Therefore, this impact would be less than significant and would be generally the same as the impact analyzed in the 2017 EIR for the 2030 Comprehensive Plan. Because there would be no new or substantially more severe impacts than what was analyzed in the 2017 EIR, further analysis is not warranted. f. Would the project conflict with the provisions of an adopted Habitat Conservation Plan, Natural Community Conservation Plan, or other approved local, regional, or state habitat conservation plan? As discussed in the 2017 EIR, although Palo Alto is not in the Santa Clara Valley Habitat Conservation Plan (HCP)/Natural Community Conservation Plan (NCCP), lands in the Baylands area of Palo Alto have been identified in the Santa Clara Valley HCP/NCCP as suitable mitigation lands for impacts to the western burrowing owl caused by development in the Santa Clara Valley HCP/NCCP Plan Area. Additionally, the Stanford HCP identifies four management zones according to habitat value for Covered Species. However, the proposed HEU does not include housing sites within the Baylands area of Palo Alto or within the Stanford HCP limits. The proposed HEU would also facilitate development on non-vacant and underutilized sites in urbanized areas where species are not present. Therefore, the proposed HEU would not conflict with the Santa Clara Valley HCP/NCCP or the Stanford HCP. This impact would be less than significant and would be generally the same as the impact analyzed in the 2017 EIR for the 2030 Comprehensive Plan. Because there would be no new or substantially more severe significant impacts than what was analyzed in the 2017 EIR, further analysis is not warranted.

EIR Pages 4.4-9 through 4.4-10 No No No Yes ANALYSIS IN PREVIOUS ENVIRONMENTAL DOCUMENTS Section 4.4, Cultural Resources, of the 2017 EIR analyzes the 2030 Comprehensive Plan’s impacts related to cultural resources. The 2017 EIR found that the 2030 Comprehensive Plan could adversely affect a historic resource listed or eligible for listing on the National and/or California Register, or listed on the City’s Historic Inventory, since the City’s historical resource inventory is out of date, and the City’s ordinance does not explicitly prohibit demolition of historic resources. Therefore, mitigation measure CULT-1 was required and was found to reduce impacts to a less than significant level. The 2017 EIR also found that the 2030 Comprehensive Plan could eliminate important examples of major periods of California history or prehistory since it could result in the demolition or modification of an historical resource; permittance of inappropriate new construction adjacent to an historical resource; or result in the demolition, relocation, or alteration of an archaeological or paleontological resource. Therefore, mitigation measure CULT-2 was required and was found to reduce impacts to a less than significant level. The 2017 EIR also found that buildout in accordance with the 2030 Comprehensive Plan could cause damage to an important archaeological resource as defined in Section 15064.5 of the CEQA Guidelines without mitigation to address unknown resources that could be uncovered. Mitigation Measure CULT-3 was required and was found to reduce impacts to a less than significant level. The 2017 EIR found that the 2030 Comprehensive Plan would not disturb any human remains, including those interred outside of formal cemeteries. Table 12 lists the mitigation measures from the 2017 EIR related to cultural resources.

Source: City of Palo Alto 2016 PROJECT-SPECIFIC IMPACTS a. Would the project cause a substantial adverse change in the significance of a historical resource pursuant to §15064.5? As discussed in the 2017 EIR, there are over 850 structures/sites in Palo Alto that are identified as historical resources, including four districts (Green Gables, Greenmeadow Units 1 and 2, Professorville, and Ramona Street). The proposed HEU includes sites in the Professorville district and the Ramona Street District, as well as along University Avenue, a historic thoroughfare as described in the 2017 EIR. However, disturbance would occur in the same areas as analyzed in the 2017 EIR (citywide) and the citywide conditions have not substantially changed since the time of the EIR. The proposed HEU does not propose any specific development. It envisions development including the proposed rezoning of sites for the potential development of additional housing units to meet the City’s RHNA needs on parcels that may contain buildings that meet the age threshold for potential historical resources pursuant to CEQA. Development on these parcels could be proposed by a property owner or project applicant with or without the City’s adoption of the HEU; still, development associated with the proposed HEU, similar to development under the 2030 Comprehensive Plan on the same sites, could result in the material impairment of historical resources, which CEQA Guidelines Section 15064.5(b)(2)(A) defines as the demolition or alteration in an adverse manner of those characteristics of a historical resource that convey its historical significance Item 9 Attachment E - Addendum to the Comprehensive Plan EIR (November 2023)        Item 9: Staff Report Pg. 163  Packet Pg. 230 of 511  CITY OF PALO ALTO 2023-2031 HOUSING ELEMENT CITY OF PALO ALTO P a g e | 6 1 and that justify its inclusion in, or eligibility for inclusion in, the CRHR or a local register. Future development requiring discretionary approval would be subject to separate project-level CEQA review in order to identify potential impacts to a specific historical resource and incorporate mitigation measures as needed, including City Council consideration of the potential benefits of the proposed project and potential significant, unavoidable impacts. Modifications to Inventory resources Downtown and in Professorville historic districts would be subject to PAMC Chapter 16.49. Future development would also be required to implement policies L-7.1 and L-7.15 of the 2030 Comprehensive Plan EIR, adopted in compliance with Mitigation Measure CULT-1 of the 2017 EIR, which would ensure the protection of historic resources listed on the National and/or California Register or the City’s Historic Resource Inventory, as well as applicable federal, State, and local laws. Therefore, impacts would be less than significant with mitigation, and would be generally the same as the impact analyzed in the 2017 EIR for the 2030 Comprehensive Plan. Because there would be no new or substantially more severe significant impacts than what was analyzed in the 2017 EIR, and further analysis is not warranted. b. Would the project cause a substantial adverse change in the significance of an archaeological resource pursuant to §15064.5? Similar to what was assumed in the 2017 EIR, although development under the proposed HEU would occur on non-vacant and underutilized sites in previously disturbed areas, ground- disturbing activities such as earthmoving and excavation could still potentially damage and/or destroy unrecorded archaeological resources in subsurface soils within the housing sites. Implementation of the proposed HEU would involve disturbance in the same areas as analyzed in the 2017 EIR (citywide) and the citywide conditions have not substantially changed since the time of the EIR. Further, future development requiring discretionary approval would be subject to separate project-level CEQA review in order to identify potential impacts to archaeological resources and incorporate mitigation measures as needed. Future development would also be required to implement policies L-7.16 through 7.18 of the 2030 Comprehensive Plan EIR, adopted in compliance with Mitigation Measure CULT-3 of the 2017 EIR, which would ensure the protection of archaeological, paleontological, and tribal cultural resources. Therefore, impacts would be less than significant with mitigation, and would be generally the same as the impact analyzed in the 2017 EIR for the 2030 Comprehensive Plan. Because there would be no new or substantially more severe significant impacts than what was analyzed in the 2017 EIR, further analysis is not warranted. c. Would the project disturb any human remains, including those interred outside of formal cemeteries? Similar to what was assumed in the 2017 EIR, although development under the proposed HEU would occur on non-vacant and underutilized sites in previously disturbed areas, ground- disturbing activities such as earthmoving and excavation could still potentially disturb human remains. However, implementation of the proposed HEU would involve disturbance in the same areas as analyzed in the 2017 EIR (citywide) and the citywide conditions have not substantially changed since the time of the EIR. Future development would be subject to federal and State regulations, such as the California Health and Safety Code Section 7050.5, Item 9 Attachment E - Addendum to the Comprehensive Plan EIR (November 2023)        Item 9: Staff Report Pg. 164  Packet Pg. 231 of 511  IMPACT ANALYSIS CULTURAL RESOURCES 6 2 | P a g e Addendum to the 2030 Comprehensive Plan EIR Public Resources Code Section 5097.98, and the California Code of Regulations Section 15064.5(e) (CEQA), which state the mandated procedures of conduct following the discovery of human remains. Therefore, compliance with the mandatory regulatory procedures would ensure that potential impacts related to the potential discovery or disturbance of any human remains accidentally unearthed during construction activities would be less than significant and would be generally the same as the impact analyzed in the 2017 EIR for the 2030 Comprehensive Plan. Because there would be no new or substantially more severe significant impacts than what was analyzed in the 2017 EIR, further analysis is not warranted. CONCLUSION Although the proposed HEU would facilitate the development of 919 more residential units than analyzed under the 2017 EIR, development would occur in the same areas as those analyzed in the 2017 EIR. Further, future development would be required to comply with federal, State, and local regulations pertaining to cultural resources as well as policies adopted in compliance with Mitigation Measures CULT-1 and CULT-3 from the 2017 EIR, which would reduce impacts to a less than significant level. Therefore, the project would not result in new significant effects not addressed in the prior EIR, and no new mitigation measures are warranted. This issue does not require further study in an EIR.

Could Proposed Changes Involve New or Substantially More Severe Impacts? Do New Circumstances Result in New or Substantially More Severe Impacts? Does New Information Result in New or Substantially More Severe Significant Impacts? Do 2017 EIR Mitigation Measures Address and/or Resolve Impacts? Would the project: a. Result in a potentially significant environmental impact due to wasteful, inefficient, or unnecessary consumption of energy resources, during project construction or operation?

EIR Pages 4.14-33 through 4.14-38 No No No Yes ANALYSIS IN PREVIOUS ENVIRONMENTAL DOCUMENTS Section 4.14, Utilities and Service Systems, of the 2017 EIR analyzed the 2030 Comprehensive Plan’s impacts related to energy. At the time the 2017 EIR was prepared, there were no separate adopted thresholds for energy use under CEQA, although Guidelines Section 15126.4 required that an “EIR shall describe feasible mitigation measures which could minimize significant adverse impacts, including where relevant, inefficient and unnecessary consumption of energy,” and Appendix F provided criteria for consideration of energy conservation. Checklist questions (a) and (b) in this section are now included in CEQA Guidelines Appendix G. Lead agencies that use Appendix G as a basis for environmental analysis, including the City of Palo Alto, now consider energy impacts more explicitly during the initial study of a project. Changes to the CEQA thresholds subsequent to certification of an EIR do not in themselves constitute a substantial change or new information of substantial importance that requires major revisions to the EIR unless new significant impacts or a substantial increase in the severity of a significant impact would occur. The 2017 EIR concluded that the 2030 Comprehensive Plan would not substantially increase electrical or natural gas demands to the extent that new local electrical and natural gas supply facilities would be required. Additionally, future development would be required to comply with the California Building Standards Code, Chapters 16.14 and 16.17 of the PAMC, and utilize modern appliances and equipment, in accordance with the 2012 Appliance Efficiency Regulations, which would conserve energy. Nonetheless, mitigation measure UTIL-17 would be required to reduce impacts to a less than significant level. Table 13 lists the mitigation measures from the 2017 EIR related to energy.

However, without the adoption of policies in support of energy efficiency and conservation, the proposed Plan would result in a potentially significant impact, requiring mitigation. (Potentially Significant and Mitigable) UTIL-17 To ensure that future development would maximize energy efficiency and conservation the proposed Plan shall include policies that address the following topics:  Maximized conservation and efficient use of energy.  Continued procurement of carbon-neutral energy.  Investment in cost-effective energy efficiency and energy conservation programs.  Provision of public education programs addressing energy conservation and efficiency.  Use of cost-effective energy conservation measures in City projects and practices.  Adherence to State and federal energy efficiency standards and policies.  Consideration of a transition to a carbon-neutral natural gas supply. Source: City of Palo Alto 2016 PROJECT-SPECIFIC IMPACT ANALYSIS a. Would the project result in a potentially significant environmental impact due to wasteful, inefficient, or unnecessary consumption of energy resources, during project construction or operation? Energy consumption is directly related to environmental quality in that the consumption of nonrenewable energy resources releases criteria air pollutant and GHG emissions into the atmosphere. The environmental impacts of air pollutant and GHG emissions associated with the project’s energy consumption are discussed in detail in Section 3, Air Quality, and Section 8, Greenhouse Gas Emissions, respectively. Palo Alto demonstrates its commitment to energy efficiency and renewable energy via implementation of CALGreen and State-mandated Energy Efficiency Requirements for new development and retrofits. The proposed HEU would facilitate development of projects to encourage housing on non-vacant and underutilized sites in urbanized areas. When proposed, individual projects would be required, pursuant to the requirements of CALGreen, to comply with the zero-net energy requirements, where new development combines energy efficiency and renewable energy generation to consume only as much energy as can be produced on-site through renewable resources over a specified period. However, development under the proposed HEU would consume energy during construction and operation, using petroleum fuel, natural gas, and electricity, as discussed below. CONSTRUCTION Energy use during construction associated with future development under the proposed HEU would be in the form of fuel consumption (e.g., gasoline and diesel fuel) to operate heavy equipment, light-duty vehicles, machinery, and generators for lighting. Temporary grid power Item 9 Attachment E - Addendum to the Comprehensive Plan EIR (November 2023)        Item 9: Staff Report Pg. 167  Packet Pg. 234 of 511  CITY OF PALO ALTO 2023-2031 HOUSING ELEMENT CITY OF PALO ALTO P a g e | 6 5 may also be provided to construction trailers or electric construction equipment. Energy use during the construction of individual projects would be temporary in nature, and equipment used would be typical of construction projects in the region. Construction contractors would be required to demonstrate compliance with applicable CARB regulations that restrict the idling of heavy-duty diesel motor vehicles and govern the accelerated retrofitting, repowering, or replacement of heavy-duty diesel on- and off-road equipment. Construction activities associated with reasonably foreseeable development under the proposed HEU would be required to utilize fuel-efficient equipment consistent with federal and State regulations and would comply with State measures to reduce the inefficient, wasteful, or unnecessary consumption of energy. In addition, individual projects would be required to comply with construction waste management practices to divert at least 80 percent of construction and demolition debris pursuant to PAMC Section 16.14.260. These practices would result in efficient use of energy during construction of future development under the proposed HEU. Furthermore, in the interest of both environmental awareness and cost efficiency, construction contractors would not utilize fuel in a manner that is wasteful or unnecessary. Therefore, future construction activities associated with development under the proposed HEU would not result in potentially significant environmental effects due to the wasteful, inefficient, or unnecessary consumption of energy, and impacts would be less than significant. OPERATIONAL Long-term operation of future development under the proposed HEU would require permanent grid connections for electricity to power internal and exterior building lighting, and heating and cooling systems. Electricity in Palo Alto is supplied by the City of Palo Alto Utilities (CPAU). As discussed in the 2017 EIR, forecasting and planning by the CPAU will be able to accommodate expected net annual average increase in electrical service demand of less than one percent with the implementation of policies N-7.1 and N-7.4 of the 2030 Comprehensive Plan EIR, adopted in compliance with Mitigation Measure UTIL-17. Although the proposed HEU would facilitate the development of 919 more residential units, CPAU’s 10-year electric savings increased from 4.8 percent between 2014 and 2023 to 5.7 percent between 2018 and 2027 showing increased energy efficiency. Additionally, future development would be required to comply with the City’s most updated Reach Code and All-Electric Mandate which requires all-electric building design for single-family, low-rise multi-family, and non-residential development (City of Palo Alto 2022a). This would increase demand for electricity but would decrease demand for natural gas. Electricity provided by CPAU is 100 percent carbon neutral (City of Palo Alto 2022b). Development facilitated by the proposed HEU would be subject to the energy conservation requirements of the California Energy Code (Title 24, Part 6 of the California Code of Regulations, California’s Energy Efficiency Standards for Residential and Nonresidential Buildings), the California Green Building Standards Code (CALGreen, Title 24, Part 11 of the California Code of Regulations). The California Energy Code provides energy conservation standards for all new and renovated commercial and residential buildings constructed in California. This code applies to the building envelope, space-conditioning systems, and water- heating and lighting systems of buildings and appliances and provides guidance on construction techniques to maximize energy conservation. Minimum efficiency standards are given for a Item 9 Attachment E - Addendum to the Comprehensive Plan EIR (November 2023)        Item 9: Staff Report Pg. 168  Packet Pg. 235 of 511  IMPACT ANALYSIS ENERGY 6 6 | P a g e Addendum to the 2030 Comprehensive Plan EIR variety of building elements, including appliances; water and space heating and cooling equipment; and insulation for doors, pipes, walls, and ceilings. The code emphasizes saving energy at peak periods and seasons and improving the quality of installation of energy efficiency measures. Furthermore, future development would be required to comply with the PAMC Chapter 16.17, which mandates the implementation of the Building Energy Efficiency Standards (California Code of Regulations, Title 24, Part 6). Compliance would include complying with the most updated rooftop solar requirements at the time of construction. CALGreen sets targets for energy efficiency, water consumption, dual plumbing systems for potable and recyclable water, diversion of construction waste from landfills, and use of environmentally sensitive materials in construction and design, including ecofriendly flooring, carpeting, paint, coatings, thermal insulation, and acoustical wall and ceiling panels. These standards for new buildings are designed for energy efficient performance, using clean electricity, so that the buildings do not result in wasteful, inefficient, or unnecessary consumption of energy. The housing inventory sites are located within the city’s urbanized and underutilized sites. These areas are near or adjacent to transportation corridors as well as Class I, II, and III bicycle lanes, which would reduce trip distances and encourage the use of alternative modes of transportation such as bicycling and walking, thereby reducing fuel consumption. These factors would minimize the potential of the proposed project to result in the wasteful or unnecessary consumption of vehicle fuels. Future development would also be required to continue to implement policies N-7.1 and N-7.4 of the 2030 Comprehensive Plan EIR, adopted in compliance with Mitigation Measure UTIL-17 to reduce energy impacts to a less than significant level. As a result, operation of development projects under the proposed HEU would not result in potentially significant environmental effects due to the wasteful, inefficient, or unnecessary consumption of energy, and impacts would be less than significant with mitigation, and generally the same as the impact analyzed in the 2017 EIR for the 2030 Comprehensive Plan. Because there would be no new or substantially more severe significant impacts than what was analyzed in the 2017 EIR, further analysis is not warranted. b. Would the project conflict with or obstruct a state or local plan for renewable energy or energy efficiency? Several State plans as well as the City’s adopted 2030 Comprehensive Plan include energy conservation and energy efficiency strategies intended to enable the State and the city to achieve GHG reduction and energy conservation goals. A full discussion of the proposed project’s consistency with GHG reduction plans is included in Section 8, Greenhouse Gas Emissions. As shown in Table 14, the project would be consistent with applicable State renewable energy and energy efficiency plans.

Pursuant to AB 2076, the CEC and CARB prepared and adopted a joint-agency report, Reducing California’s Petroleum Dependence, in 2003. Included in this report are recommendations to increase the use of alternative fuels to 20 percent of on-road transportation fuel use by 2020 and 30 percent by 2030, significantly increase the efficiency of motor vehicles, and reduce per capita VMT. One of the performance-based goals of AB 2076 is to reduce petroleum demand to 15 percent below 2003 demand. Consistent. Many of the proposed housing inventory sites located in areas served by transit, are in proximity to jobs and services, or are near or adjacent to corridors currently served by Class I, II, and III bicycle lanes such as University Avenue, Bryant Street, California Avenue, and Bayshore Road. This which would encourage the use of alternative modes of transportation such as walking, transit, and bicycling, thereby reducing VMT and reducing reliance on single-occupancy vehicles. Further, future development under the proposed HEU would be subject to the requirements of the most recent iteration of CALGreen and locally adopted amendments, which include provisions for electric vehicle charging infrastructure, reducing dependence on gasoline powered vehicles. 2019 Integrated Energy Policy Report. The 2019 report highlights the implementation of California’s innovative policies and the role they have played in establishing a clean energy economy, as well as provides more detail on several key energy policies, including decarbonizing buildings, increasing energy efficiency savings, and integrating more renewable energy into the electricity system. Consistent. Development facilitated by the project would be required to comply with PAMC Chapter 16.17, which mandates the implementation of Title 24. Compliance would include complying with the most updated rooftop solar requirements at the time of construction. Future development would also be required to comply with the City’s most updated Reach Code and All-Electric Mandate which requires all-electric building design for single-family, low-rise multi-family, and non-residential development (City of Palo Alto 2022a). Electricity would be provided by CPAU, which has provided 100 percent carbon neutral electricity since 2013 (City of Palo Alto 2022b). California Renewable Portfolio Standard. California’s RPS obligates investor-owned utilities, energy service providers, and community choice aggregators to procure 33 percent total retail sales of electricity from renewable energy sources by 2020, 60 percent by 2030, and 100 percent by 2045. Consistent. Electricity for future development would be provided by CPAU which has provided 100 percent carbon neutral electricity since 2013 (City of Palo Alto 2022b). Energy Action Plan. In the October 2005, the CEC and CPUC updated their energy policy vision by adding some important dimensions to the policy areas included in the original EAP, such as the emerging importance of climate change, transportation-related energy issues, and research and development activities. The CEC adopted an update to the EAP II in February 2008 that supplements the earlier EAPs and examines the State’s ongoing actions in the context of global climate change. The nine major action areas in the EAP include energy efficiency, demand response, renewable energy, electricity adequacy/reliability/infrastructure, electricity market structure, natural gas supply/demand/infrastructure, transportation fuels supply/demand/infrastructure, research/development/demonstration, and climate change. Consistent. Future development facilitated by the proposed project would be required to be constructed in accordance with the latest iteration of CALGreen, the California Energy Code, and any locally adopted amendments, which include requirements for the use of energy-efficient design and technologies as well as provisions for incorporating renewable energy resources into building design. Electricity for future development would be provided by CPAU which has provided 100 percent carbon neutral electricity since 2013 (City of Palo Alto 2022b). Given these features, the project would facilitate implementation of the nine major action areas in the EAP.

The State Alternative Fuels Plan assessed various alternative fuels and developed fuel portfolios to meet California’s goals to reduce petroleum consumption, increase alternative fuels use, reduce GHG emissions, and increase in-State production of biofuels without causing a significant degradation of public health and environmental quality. Bioenergy Action Plan, EO S-06-06. The EO establishes the following targets to increase the production and use of bioenergy, including ethanol and biodiesel fuels made from renewable resources: produce a minimum of 20 percent of its biofuels in California by 2010, 40 percent by 2020, and 75 percent by 2050. Consistent. The project would not interfere with or obstruct the production of biofuels in California. Vehicles used by future residents would be fueled by gasoline and diesel fuels blended with ethanol and biodiesel fuels as required by CARB regulations. Pursuant to Section 16.14.420 of the PAMC, new multi-family residences would be required to provide at least one EVSE Ready outlet or EVSE installed for each residential unit in the structure for residential parking, and would be required to provide Conduit Only, EVSE Ready Outlet, or EVSE installed for at least 25 percent of guest parking spaces, among which at least 5 percent shall be EVSE installed. Future development facilitated by the project would be required to comply with the most updated EV requirements in both the City’s Reach Code and Title 24 at the time of construction. Title 24, CCR – Part 6 (Building Energy Efficiency Standards) and Part 11 (CALGreen). The 2019 Building Energy Efficiency Standards move toward cutting energy use in new homes by more than 50 percent and will require installation of solar photovoltaic systems for single-family homes and multi-family buildings of three stories and less. The CALGreen Standards establish green building criteria for residential and nonresidential projects. The 2019 Standards include the following: increasing the number of parking spaces that must be prewired for electric vehicle chargers in residential development; requiring all residential development to adhere to the Model Water Efficient Landscape Ordinance; and requiring more appropriate sizing of HVAC ducts. Consistent. Development facilitated by the project would be required to comply with PAMC Chapter 16.17, which mandates the implementation of Title 24. Furthermore, the City’s 2030 Comprehensive Plan and Sustainability and Climate Action Plan (S/CAP) also contains goals and policies related to energy efficiency and renewable energy. As discussed under Table 18 in Section 8, Greenhouse Gas Emissions, the proposed project would be consistent with recommended goals, policies, and actions in the City’s S/CAP related to energy efficiency and renewable energy. Table 15 summarizes the project’s consistency with the applicable 2030 Comprehensive Plan policies. As shown therein, the proposed project would be consistent with the applicable 2030 Comprehensive Plan policies and therefore would not conflict with or obstruct a State or local plan for renewable energy or energy efficiency, and impacts would be less than significant and generally the same as the impact analyzed in the 2017 EIR for the 2030 Comprehensive Plan. Because there would be no new or substantially more severe significant impacts than what was analyzed in the 2017 EIR, further analysis is not warranted.

Future development would also be required to comply with the City’s most updated Reach Code and All-Electric Mandate which requires all-electric building design for single-family, low-rise multi-family, and non- residential development (City of Palo Alto 2022a). Policy N-7.5: Encourage energy efficient lighting that protects dark skies and promotes energy conservation by minimizing light and glare from development while ensuring public health and safety Consistent: Future development facilitated by the proposed HEU would be required to incorporate sustainability considerations into project design such as energy efficient lighting pursuant to PAMC Section 18.24.100(a). Future development would also be subject to PAMC Section 18.40.250 which outlines requirements for minimizing light spillover and glare. Policy N-7.6: Support the maximum economic use of solar electric (photovoltaic) and solar thermal energy, both as renewable supply resources for the Electric Utility Portfolio and as alternative forms of local power generation. Consistent: Development facilitated by the proposed HEU would be required to comply with the PAMC Chapter 16.17, which mandates the implementation of Title 24. Compliance would include complying with the most updated rooftop solar requirements at the time of construction. Policy N-7.7: Explore a variety of cost-effective ways to reduce natural gas usage in existing and new buildings in Palo Alto in order to reduce associated greenhouse gas emissions. Consistent: Future development facilitated by the proposed HEU would also be required to comply with the City’s most updated Reach Code and All-Electric Mandate which requires all-electric building design for single- family, low-rise multi-family, and non-residential development (City of Palo Alto 2022a). Electricity would be provided by City of Palo Alto Utilities (CPAU), which has provided 100 percent carbon neutral electricity since 2013 (City of Palo Alto 2022b). Policy N-7.8: Support opportunities to maximize energy recovery from organic materials such as food scraps, yard trimmings and residual solids from sewage treatment. Consistent: Future development facilitated by the proposed HEU would be required to comply with SB 1383 and recycle organic wastes. Source: City of Palo Alto 2017b CONCLUSION Although the proposed HEU would facilitate the development of 919 more residential units than analyzed under the 2017 EIR, future development would be required to comply with federal, State, and local regulations as well as policies adopted in compliance with Mitigation Measure UTIL-17 pertaining to energy, which would reduce impacts to a less than significant level. Therefore, the project would not result in new significant effects not addressed in the prior EIR, and no new mitigation measures are warranted. This issue does not require further study in an EIR.

EIR Pages 4.4-7 through 4.4-9 No No No N/A ANALYSIS IN PREVIOUS ENVIRONMENTAL DOCUMENTS Section 4.5, Geology, Soils, and Seismicity, of the 2017 EIR analyzed the 2030 Comprehensive Plan’s impacts related to geology and soils. The 2017 EIR found that implementation of the 2030 Comprehensive Plan would result in less than significant impacts associated with risk of loss, injury, or death involving rupture of a known earthquake fault, strong seismic ground shaking, seismic-related ground failure (including liquefaction), landslides, and expansive soils. The 2017 EIR also found that implementation of the 2030 Comprehensive Plan would not result in development located on a geologic unit or on soil that is unstable, or that would become unstable as a result of the project and potentially result in on- or off-site landslide, lateral spreading, subsidence, liquefaction, or collapse. The 2030 Comprehensive Plan also determined that there would be less than significant impacts related to erosion or siltation. PROJECT-SPECIFIC IMPACTS a1. Would the project expose people or structures to potential substantial adverse effects, including the risk of loss, injury, or death involving rupture of a known earthquake fault, as delineated on the most recent Alquist-Priolo Earthquake Fault Zoning Map issued by the State Geologist for the area or based on other substantial evidence of a known fault? The Alquist-Priolo Earthquake Fault Zone associated with the San Andreas Fault is located near the crest of the Santa Cruz Mountains and just east of the intersection of Page Mill Road and State Route 35. Similar to what was analyzed in the 2017 EIR, no housing inventory sites are located near the Alquist-Priolo Earthquake Fault Zone associated with the San Andreas Fault (City of Palo Alto 2016). The closest active fault is the San Andreas Fault, located approximately 2.5 miles from the southern portion of the city. As a result, the likelihood of surface rupture occurring from active faulting that would affect future development under the proposed HEU is remote. This impact would be less than significant and would be generally the same as the Item 9 Attachment E - Addendum to the Comprehensive Plan EIR (November 2023)        Item 9: Staff Report Pg. 175  Packet Pg. 242 of 511  CITY OF PALO ALTO 2023-2031 HOUSING ELEMENT CITY OF PALO ALTO P a g e | 7 3 impact analyzed in the 2017 EIR for the 2030 Comprehensive Plan. Because there would be no new or substantially more severe significant impacts than what was analyzed in the 2017 EIR, further analysis is not warranted. a2. Would the project expose people or structures to potential substantial adverse effects, including the risk of loss, injury, or death involving strong seismic ground shaking? As with any site in the Bay Area region, development under the proposed HEU is susceptible to strong seismic ground shaking in the event of a major earthquake. Nearby faults include the San Andreas Fault, the Monte Vista Fault, the Hayward Fault and the Calaveras Fault. These faults are capable of producing strong seismic ground shaking in the city. Although nothing can ensure that residences and infrastructure do not fail under seismic stress, proper engineering can minimize the risk to life and property. Accordingly, building standards have been developed for construction in areas subject to seismic ground-shaking. Development facilitated by the proposed HEU would be required to comply with standards established by PAMC Chapter 16.04 and 16.06, which adopt the California Building Code (CBC) and the California Residential Code, respectively. The requirements of the California Building Code ensure that new habitable structures are engineered to withstand the expected ground acceleration at a given location. Further, CBC Chapter 18 requires that actions recommended in a site-specific soil investigation are incorporated into the construction of each structure. Future development would also be required to comply with PAMC Section 16.28.150, which would require detailed engineering geology reports in areas of suspected geological hazards and implementation of recommendations and mitigations to reduce hazards from ground shaking or rupture. Additionally, the project would promote infill development, which may involve replacing older buildings subject to seismic damage with newer structures built to current seismic standards that could better withstand the adverse effects of strong ground shaking. Although the proposed HEU would facilitate development of 919 more housing units compared to what was analyzed in the 2017 EIR, continued compliance with applicable provisions of the CBC and the PAMC would ensure that potential impacts from ground-shaking would be minimized. This impact would be less than significant and would be generally the same as the impact analyzed in the 2017 EIR for the 2030 Comprehensive Plan. Because there would be no new or substantially more severe significant impacts than what was analyzed in the 2017 EIR, further analysis is not warranted. a3. Would the project expose people or structures to potential substantial adverse effects, including the risk of loss, injury, or death involving seismic-related ground failure, including liquefaction? As shown in Map S-3 of the Safety Element of the 2030 Comprehensive Plan, the northern and eastern portion of the city lies within a high-liquefaction zone. Although the proposed HEU would facilitate some development in a high-liquefaction zone adjacent to US 101, future development would be required to comply with requirements of the CBC pursuant to PAMC Chapter 16.04, as well as requirements for soils engineering reports and engineering geology reports pursuant to PAMC Sections 16.28.140 and 16.28.150. Additionally, PAMC Section 18.40.120 imposes requirements in areas that have been identified as having moderate or high Item 9 Attachment E - Addendum to the Comprehensive Plan EIR (November 2023)        Item 9: Staff Report Pg. 176  Packet Pg. 243 of 511  IMPACT ANALYSIS GEOLOGY AND SOILS 7 4 | P a g e Addendum to the 2030 Comprehensive Plan EIR risk due to seismic activity hazards, including liquefaction, and requires the preparation of detailed geologic, soils, and engineering studies prior to development. Such reports typically include recommendations for project design and construction, such as site grading/soil preparation, and foundation design, as well as quantitative evaluations of liquefaction susceptibility. The final grading, drainage, and foundation plans are reviewed before construction to confirm incorporation of the report recommendations. Although the proposed HEU would facilitate development of 919 more housing units compared to what was analyzed in the 2017 EIR, continued compliance with all applicable provisions of the California Building Code and the PAMC would minimize impacts associated with liquefaction to a less than significant level and would be generally the same as the impact analyzed in the 2017 EIR for the 2030 Comprehensive Plan. Because there would be no new or substantially more severe significant impacts than what was analyzed in the 2017 EIR, further analysis is not warranted. a4. Would the project expose people or structures to potential substantial adverse effects, including the risk of loss, injury, or death involving landslides? c. Would the project be located on a geologic unit or soil that is unstable, or that would become unstable as a result of the project, and potentially result in on- or off-site landslide, lateral spreading, subsidence, liquefaction, or collapse? Earthquakes can trigger landslides that may cause injuries and structural damage. Landslides are typically a hazard on or near slopes or hillside areas, rather than generally level areas where HEU housing development is anticipated. The 2017 EIR characterizes most of Palo Alto as having low topographic relief where the probability of landslides is very low, with the exception of hilly slopes west of Interstate 280. Similar to what was analyzed in the 2017 EIR, no development would be facilitated in landslide zones within the city. Furthermore, future development would be required to comply with PAMC Sections 16.28.140 and 16.28.150, which outline requirements for soils engineering reports and engineering geology reports, as well as PAMC Section 18.40.120, which imposes requirements in areas that have been identified as having moderate or high risk due to seismic activity hazards. Although the proposed HEU would facilitate development of 919 more housing units compared to what was analyzed in the 2017 EIR, continued compliance with all applicable provisions of the California Building Code and the PAMC would ensure that potential impacts from landslides would be minimized to a less than significant level and would be generally the same as the impact analyzed in the 2017 EIR for the 2030 Comprehensive Plan. Because there would be no new or substantially more severe significant impacts than what was analyzed in the 2017 EIR, further analysis is not warranted. b. Would the project result in substantial soil erosion or the loss of topsoil? The proposed HEU would include infill development in non-vacant and underutilized sites in urbanized areas. Demolition and construction activities would be required to comply with CBC, Appendix Section J110, Erosion Control Standards, pursuant to Chapter 16.04 of the PAMC, which ensures appropriate erosion and stormwater pollution control during grading and construction activities. Item 9 Attachment E - Addendum to the Comprehensive Plan EIR (November 2023)        Item 9: Staff Report Pg. 177  Packet Pg. 244 of 511  CITY OF PALO ALTO 2023-2031 HOUSING ELEMENT CITY OF PALO ALTO P a g e | 7 5 Construction activities that occur on more than one acre are required to obtain a National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) Construction General Permit. NPDES requires the development of a storm water pollution prevention plan (SWPPP), which includes BMPs to reduce erosion and topsoil loss from stormwater runoff. BMP examples generally include an effective combination of erosion and sediment controls, which include barriers such as silt fences, hay bales, drain inlet protection, or gravel bags. Future development would also be required to comply with PAMC Chapter 16.28, which outlines requirements for grading and erosion and sediment control. Examples include preparation of an interim and a final erosion and sediment control and SWPPP, as well as soils engineering reports, which would prevent excessive erosion and runoff. Although the proposed HEU would facilitate development of 919 more housing units compared to what was analyzed in the 2017 EIR, continued compliance with all applicable federal, State, and local regulations and the PAMC would ensure that potential impacts from soil erosion would be minimized. This impact would be less than significant and would be generally the same as the impact analyzed in the 2017 EIR for the 2030 Comprehensive Plan. Because there would be no new or substantially more severe significant impacts than what was analyzed in the 2017 EIR, further analysis is not warranted. d. Would the project be located on expansive soil, as defined in Table 18-1-B of the Uniform Building Code (1994), creating substantial direct or indirect risks to life or property? As discussed in the 2017 EIR, shrink-swell potential in the western and central parts of the city are generally lower than the northeastern parts, where clay-rich soils and “Bay Mud” sediments are widespread (City of Palo Alto 2016). The proposed HEU would facilitate some housing development in the northeastern part of the city, and therefore could potentially locate housing inventory sites on areas with expansive soils. However, future development would be required to comply with PAMC Sections 16.28.140 and 16.28.150, which outline requirements for soils engineering reports and engineering geology reports, as well as PAMC Section 18.40.120, which imposes requirements in areas that have been identified as having moderate or high risk due to seismic activity hazards. The CBC also includes requirements to address soil- related hazards. Typical measures to treat hazardous soil conditions involve removal of soil or fill materials, proper fill selection, and compaction. In cases where soil remediation is not feasible, the CBC requires structural reinforcement of foundations to resist the forces of expansive soils. This would ensure that the potential for projects to occur on expansive soils such that substantial direct or indirect risks to life or property to occur would be reduced. Although the proposed HEU would facilitate development of 919 more housing units compared to buildout analyzed in the 2017 EIR, continued compliance with all applicable provisions of the California Building Code and the PAMC would ensure that potential impacts from soil erosion would be minimized. This impact would be less than significant and would be generally the same as the impact analyzed in the 2017 EIR for the 2030 Comprehensive Plan. Because there would be no new or substantially more severe significant impacts than what was analyzed in the 2017 EIR, further analysis is not warranted.

Would the project have soils incapable of adequately supporting the use of septic tanks or alternative wastewater disposal systems where sewers are not available for the disposal of wastewater? Palo Alto is served by the City’s established wastewater system. The proposed HEU would facilitate development on non-vacant and underutilized sites which are and would continue to be served by the City’s wastewater system. The project would not include the use of septic tanks or alternative wastewater disposal systems. Because there would be no new or substantially more severe significant impacts than what was analyzed in the 2017 EIR, further analysis is not warranted. f. Would the project directly or indirectly destroy a unique paleontological resource or site or unique geologic feature? As discussed in the Geological Setting above, there are known paleontological resource sites within the city, and the presence of these sites indicates that there are likely undiscovered paleontological resources. Although the proposed HEU would facilitate development on non- vacant and already disturbed sites, similar to what was analyzed in the Comprehensive Plan EIR, development facilitated by the proposed HEU could still potentially impact a unique paleontological resource or site, or unique geologic feature. However, future development would be required to comply with applicable federal and State regulations that protect paleontological resources, as well as implement Mitigation Measure CULT-5 which would reduce impacts on paleontological resources to a less than significant level. Therefore, this impact would be less than significant with mitigation, and would be generally the same as the impact analyzed in the 2017 EIR for the 2030 Comprehensive Plan. Because there would be no new or substantially more severe significant impacts than what was analyzed in the 2017 EIR, further analysis is not warranted. CONCLUSION Although the proposed HEU would facilitate the development of 919 more residential units than analyzed under the 2017 EIR, future development would be required to comply with federal, State, and local regulations pertaining to geological resources which would reduce impacts to a less than significant level. Future development would also be required to comply with applicable federal and State regulations that protect paleontological resources, as well as implement Mitigation Measure CULT-5 which would reduce impacts on paleontological resources to a less than significant level. Therefore, the project would not result in new significant effects not addressed in the prior EIR, and no new mitigation measures are warranted. This issue does not require further study in an EIR.

EIR Pages 4.6-16 through 4.6-21 No No No N/A ANALYSIS IN PREVIOUS ENVIRONMENTAL DOCUMENTS Section 4.6, Greenhouse Gas Emissions and Climate Change, of the 2017 EIR analyzed the 2030 Comprehensive Plan’s impacts related to greenhouse gas emissions. The 2017 EIR concluded that the 2030 Comprehensive Plan would not directly or indirectly generate GHG emissions that may have a significant impact on the environment since Scenario 6 would result in a decrease in emissions from existing conditions and would achieve the 2030 performance criteria that would ensure the City is on a trajectory to achieve the GHG reductions targets of SB 32 for year 2030. Additionally, the 2030 Comprehensive Plan would not conflict with CARB’s Scoping Plan or Association of Bay Area Governments (ABAG)/Metropolitan Transportation Commission’s (MTC) Plan Bay Area. However, the 2017 EIR found that the 2030 Comprehensive Plan would expose people or structures to the physical effects of climate change, including but not limited to flooding, extreme temperatures, public health, wildfire risk, or other impacts resulting from climate change, and mitigation measure GHG-3 would be required to reduce impacts to a less than significant level. Table 16 lists the mitigation measures from the 2017 EIR related to greenhouse gas emissions.

(Significant and Mitigable) GHG-3 To address the potential impacts associated with exposing additional people or structures to the effects of climate change, the proposed Plan shall include policies that address the following topics:  Flooding risks caused by climate change-related changes to precipitation patterns, groundwater levels, sea level rise, tides, and storm surges.  Cooperative planning with federal, State, regional, and local public agencies on issues related to climate change (including sea level rise and extreme storms).  Preparation of response strategies to address sea level rise, increased flooding, landslides, soil erosion, storm events, and other events related to climate change.  Impacts of sea level rise on Palo Alto’s levee system. Source: City of Palo Alto 2016 THRESHOLDS In response to climate change, California implemented AB 32, the “California Global Warming Solutions Act of 2006.” AB 32 requires the reduction of statewide GHG emissions to 1990 emissions levels (essentially a 15 percent reduction below 2005 emission levels) by 2020 and the adoption of rules and regulations to achieve the maximum technologically feasible and cost-effective GHG emissions reductions. On September 8, 2016, the Governor signed SB 32 into law, extending AB 32 by requiring the State to further reduce GHG emissions to 40 percent below 1990 levels by 2030 (the other provisions of AB 32 remain unchanged). On September 10, 2018, the Governor signed Executive Order (EO) B-55-18, which identifies a new goal of carbon neutrality by 2045 and supersedes the goal established by EO S-3-05.6 CARB adopted the 2022 Scoping Plan on November 16, 2022, which provides a framework for achieving carbon neutrality by 2045 or earlier. The 2022 Scoping Plan extends and expands upon the three earlier versions of scoping plans with a target of reducing anthropogenic emissions to 85 percent below 1990 levels by 2045. According to the CEQA Guidelines, projects can tier from a qualified GHG reduction plan, which allows for project-level evaluation of GHG emissions through the comparison of the project’s consistency with the GHG reduction policies included in a qualified GHG reduction plan. This approach is considered by the Association of Environmental Professionals (AEP) in their white paper, Beyond Newhall and 2020, to be the most defensible approach presently available under CEQA to determine the significance of a project’s GHG emissions (AEP 2016). Palo Alto does not currently have a qualified GHG reduction plan and thus this approach is not currently feasible. 6 Executive Order (EO) S-3-05, signed by Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger in 2005, proclaims that California is vulnerable to the impacts of climate change. It declares that increased temperatures could reduce the Sierra Nevada snowpack, further exacerbate California’s air quality problems, and potentially cause a rise in sea levels. To combat those concerns, the EO established total GHG emission targets for the state. Specifically, emissions are to be reduced to the 2000 level by 2010, the 1990 level by 2020, and to 80 percent below the 1990 level by 2050. Item 9 Attachment E - Addendum to the Comprehensive Plan EIR (November 2023)        Item 9: Staff Report Pg. 181  Packet Pg. 248 of 511  CITY OF PALO ALTO 2023-2031 HOUSING ELEMENT CITY OF PALO ALTO P a g e | 7 9 To evaluate whether a project may generate a quantity of GHG emissions that may have a significant impact on the environment, state agencies have developed a number of operational bright-line significance thresholds. Significance thresholds are numeric mass emissions thresholds that identify the level at which additional analysis of project GHG emissions is necessary. Projects that attain the significance target, with or without mitigation, would result in less than significant GHG emissions. Since the proposed project would tier from the 2017 EIR, the BAAQMD GHG 2030 efficiency target applied in the 2017 EIR would be used to inform the threshold for this analysis. However, to take into account the new State goal of carbon neutrality by 2045 and the project buildout year of 2031, the BAAQMD GHG 2030 efficiency target was interpolated to get an adjusted 2031 threshold of 3.74 MTCO2e per service population per year.7 Therefore, the proposed project’s GHG emissions would be significant if they would exceed the 2031 interpolated threshold of 3.74 MTCO2e per service population per year, consistent with EO B-55-18. PALO ALTO SUSTAINABILITY AND CLIMATE ACTION PLAN The City of Palo Alto launched its S/CAP in August 2014. In 2020, the city launched an update to the S/CAP to develop strategies needed to meet their goal of reducing GHG emissions 80 percent below 1990 levels by 2030 (the “80 x 30” goal). In October 2022, the Palo Alto City Council approved the updated S/CAP Goals and Key Actions that will serve as the City's roadmap to meeting the "80 x 30" goal and most recent Carbon Neutral by 2030 goal. The S/CAP Goals and Key Actions includes goals and actions in seven areas: Energy, Mobility, Electric Vehicles, Water, Climate Adaptation and Sea Level Rise, Natural Environment, and Zero Waste. The S/CAP is not a qualified CAP under CEQA Guidelines 15183.5(b)(1) since it has not yet been adopted in a public process following environmental review. METHODOLOGY OPERATIONAL EMISSIONS Long-term emissions relate to area sources, energy use, solid waste, water use, and transportation. Operational emissions for the proposed HEU were modeled using the California Emissions Estimator Model (CalEEMod) version 2022.1 and compared to the adjusted BAAQMD efficiency thresholds used in the 2017 EIR. CalEEMod default settings were used to estimate emissions associated with the proposed project to apply a high-level and conservative analysis. AREA SOURCE EMISSIONS Emissions associated with area sources, including consumer products, landscape maintenance, and architectural coating were calculated in CalEEMod and utilized default standard emission rates from CARB, U.S. EPA, and emission factor values provided by the local air district (CAPCOA 2017). Architectural coatings were calculated pursuant to BAAQMD Regulation 8 Rule 3. 7 4.0 MTCO2e (2030 Comprehensive Plan EIR threshold) / 15 years (2030 to 2045 for carbon neutrality) = 0.26 MTCO2e. To find the 2031 interpolated threshold, 4.0 MTCO2e - 0.26 MTCO2e = 3.74 MTCO2e. Item 9 Attachment E - Addendum to the Comprehensive Plan EIR (November 2023)        Item 9: Staff Report Pg. 182  Packet Pg. 249 of 511  IMPACT ANALYSIS GREENHOUSE GAS EMISSIONS 8 0 | P a g e Addendum to the 2030 Comprehensive Plan EIR ENERGY USE EMISSIONS CalEEMod provides operational emissions of CO2, N2O, and CH4. Emissions from energy use include electricity and natural gas use. The emissions factors for natural gas combustion are based on EPA’s AP-42 (Compilation of Air Pollutant Emissions Factors) and CCAR. Electricity emissions are calculated by multiplying the energy use times the carbon intensity of the utility district per kilowatt hour (CAPCOA 2017). Since the City’s All-Electric Ordinance requires all- electric construction for future residential uses, it was assumed that the natural gas demand estimated for the project would instead be supplied by electricity to account for increased electricity usage. Total annual consumption for natural gas (kBTU/year) was converted to electricity (kWh/year) and added to the total annual consumption for electricity. CalEEMod incorporates 2019 Title 24 CALGreen Building Standards. SOLID WASTE EMISSIONS Emissions from solid waste generation were also calculated in CalEEMod and are based on the IPCC’s methods for quantifying GHG emissions from solid waste using the degradable organic content of waste (CAPCOA 2017). Waste disposal rates by land use and overall composition of municipal solid waste in California was primarily based on data provided by the California Department of Resources Recycling and Recovery [CalRecycle] 2019). WATER AND WASTEWATER USE EMISSIONS Emissions from water and wastewater usage calculated in CalEEMod were based on the default electricity intensity from the California Energy Commission’s 2006 Refining Estimates of Water- Related Energy Use in California using the average values for Northern and Southern California. The Palo Alto RWQCP was assumed to be 100 percent aerobic since it does not contain facultative lagoons or septic tanks. MOBILE SOURCE EMISSIONS For mobile sources, CO2, CH4, and N2O emissions were quantified in CalEEMod. REFRIGERANT EMISSIONS Refrigerants are substances used in equipment for cooling and heating purposes and are mostly comprised of hydrofluorocarbons (HFC). HFCs are potent GHGs that have high global warming potential (GWP) values. CalEEMod calculates refrigerant emissions according to equipment charge sizes and leak rates that have been determined for relevant land uses and equipment types. CONSTRUCTION EMISSIONS Construction of the proposed HEU would generate temporary GHG emissions primarily due to the operation of construction equipment and truck trips. Site preparation and grading typically generate the greatest amount of emissions due to the use of grading equipment and soil hauling. Although construction activity is addressed in this analysis, CAPCOA does not discuss whether any of the suggested threshold approaches adequately address impacts from Item 9 Attachment E - Addendum to the Comprehensive Plan EIR (November 2023)        Item 9: Staff Report Pg. 183  Packet Pg. 250 of 511  CITY OF PALO ALTO 2023-2031 HOUSING ELEMENT CITY OF PALO ALTO P a g e | 8 1 temporary construction activity. As stated in the CEQA and Climate Change white paper, “more study is needed to make this assessment or to develop separate thresholds for construction activity” (CAPCOA 2008). Additionally, the BAAQMD does not have specific quantitative thresholds for construction activity. Therefore, although estimated in CalEEMod and provided for informational purposes, construction activity is not included in the total emissions calculations. PROJECT-SPECIFIC IMPACTS a. Would the project generate GHG emissions, either directly or indirectly, that may have a significant impact on the environment? Proposed construction activities, energy use, daily operational activities, and mobile sources (traffic) associated with the proposed project would generate GHG emissions. CalEEMod was used to calculate emissions resulting from construction and long-term operation (see Appendix B for model output). CONSTRUCTION EMISSIONS Emissions generated from construction of full buildout under the proposed HEU are estimated to be 1,047 MT of CO2e per year.8 However, as the BAAQMD does not have a recommended threshold for construction-related GHG emissions, emissions associated with construction are not included in Table 17 and compared to BAAQMD significance thresholds. OPERATIONAL INDIRECT AND STATIONARY DIRECT EMISSIONS Long-term emissions relate to area sources, energy use, solid waste, water use, and transportation. Each of the operational sources of emissions is discussed further below. MOBILE EMISSIONS As shown in Table 17 below, the additional 919 units facilitated by the proposed project would generate approximately 4,036 MTCO2e per year. AREA SOURCE EMISSIONS CalEEMod was used to calculate direct sources of air emissions associated with the proposed project. These include consumer product use and landscape maintenance equipment. Area emissions are estimated at 47 MTCO2e per year. ENERGY USE EMISSIONS Operation of the proposed project would consume both electricity and natural gas. The generation of electricity through combustion of fossil fuels emits CO2, and to a smaller extent, N2O and CH4. As discussed under the Methodology section, pursuant to the City’s All-Electric 8 Construction emissions were determined assuming the 919 units were built as one continuous project using CalEEMod defaults. Construction emissions for future projects would be based on the timing and size of individual projects. Item 9 Attachment E - Addendum to the Comprehensive Plan EIR (November 2023)        Item 9: Staff Report Pg. 184  Packet Pg. 251 of 511  IMPACT ANALYSIS GREENHOUSE GAS EMISSIONS 8 2 | P a g e Addendum to the 2030 Comprehensive Plan EIR Ordinance, natural gas was converted to electricity to account for increased electricity usage. Since CPAU provides electricity to the city, and has supplied 100 percent carbon neutral electricity since 2013, GHG emissions from energy use are estimated at 0 MTCO2e per year. WATER USE EMISSIONS Based on the amount of electricity generated to supply and convey water for the project, the proposed project would generate an estimated 26 MTCO2e per year. SOLID WASTE EMISSIONS Based on the estimate of GHG emissions from project-generated solid waste as it decomposes, solid waste associated with the proposed project would generate approximately 178 MTCO2e per year. REFRIGERANT EMISSIONS Based on the estimate of GHG emissions from refrigerants used for the project, the proposed project would generate an estimated 1 MTCO2e per year. The annual emissions associated with the additional development under the proposed HEU would total approximately 4,288 MTCO2e per year. As discussed in Section 14, Population and Housing, the service population from the project would be 2,307 new residents. Therefore, the MTCO2e per service population for the proposed HEU would be 1.9. These emissions would not exceed the 2017 EIR’s BAAQMD 2030 efficiency target of 3.74. Therefore, this impact would be less than significant, and would be generally the same as the impact analyzed in the 2017 EIR for the 2030 Comprehensive Plan. Because there would be no new or substantially more severe significant impacts than what was analyzed in the 2017 EIR, further analysis is not warranted.

Would the project conflict with any applicable plan, policy, or regulation adopted for the purpose of reducing the emissions of greenhouse gases? The City of Palo Alto has adopted the Sustainability and Climate Action Plan (S/CAP) in June 2023 to develop strategies to meet their goal of reducing GHG emissions 80 percent below 1990 levels by 2030. The California Air Resources Board (CARB) also updated its Climate Change Scoping Plan in November 2022. Table 18 shows the proposed project’s compliance with the City’s S/CAP and CARB Scoping Plan measures. Table 18 Proposed Project Compliance with Applicable S/CAP Actions GHG Reduction Goal or Policy Project Consistency City of Palo Alto S/CAP Action C3: Complete study to identify any additional Energy, EV, or Mobility key actions needed to achieve 80% reduction in greenhouse gas emissions from 1990 levels by 2030, such as electrification of additional multifamily or commercial end uses, greater electrification of vehicles, or other emissions reduction actions not already identified in this Plan. Consistent. Development facilitated by the project would be required to comply with the PAMC Chapter 16.17, which mandates the implementation of Title 24. Compliance would include complying with the most updated rooftop solar requirements at the time of construction. Future development would also be required to comply with the City’s most updated Reach Code and All-Electric Mandate which requires all-electric building design for single-family, low-rise multi-family, and non-residential development (City of Palo Alto 2022a). Electricity would be provided by CPAU, which has provided 100 percent carbon neutral electricity since 2013 (City of Palo Alto 2022b). Pursuant to Section 16.14.420 of the PAMC, new multi- family residences would be required to provide at least one EVSE Ready outlet or EVSE installed for each residential unit in the structure for residential parking, and would be required to provide Conduit Only, EVSE Ready Outlet, or EVSE installed for at least 25 percent of guest parking spaces, among which at least 5 percent shall be EVSE installed. Future development facilitated by the project would be required to comply with the most updated EV requirements in both the City’s Reach Code and Title 24 at the time of construction. Action E1: Reduce all or nearly all greenhouse gas emissions in single-family appliances and equipment, including water heating, space heating, cooking, clothes drying, and other appliances that use natural gas. Consistent. Future development would be required to comply with the City’s most updated Reach Code and All- Electric Mandate which requires all-electric building design for single-family, low-rise multi-family, and non-residential development (City of Palo Alto 2022a). Action E7: Use codes and ordinances - such as the energy reach code, green building ordinance, zoning code, or other mandates - to facilitate electrification in both existing buildings and new construction projects where feasible. Consistent. Development facilitated by the project would be required to comply with the PAMC Chapter 16.17, which mandates the implementation of Title 24. Compliance would include complying with the most updated rooftop solar requirements at the time of construction. Future development would also be required to comply with the City’s most updated Reach Code and All-Electric Mandate which requires all-electric building design for single-family, low-rise multi-family, and non-residential development (City of Palo Alto 2022a).

Consistent. Pursuant to Section 16.14.420 of the PAMC, new multi-family residences would be required to provide at least one EVSE Ready outlet or EVSE installed for each residential unit in the structure for residential parking, and would be required to provide Conduit Only, EVSE Ready Outlet, or EVSE installed for at least 25 percent of guest parking spaces, among which at least 5 percent shall be EVSE installed. Future development facilitated by the project would be required to comply with the most updated EV requirements in both the City’s Reach Code and Title 24 at the time of construction. Action M7: Continue to implement the City’s Housing Element of the Comprehensive Plan to improve jobs - housing balance and reduce vehicle miles traveled (VMT). Consistent. The proposed project would implement the 2023-2031 Housing Element Update which would facilitate development within the city’s urbanized and underutilized sites. These areas are near or adjacent to transportation corridors currently served by transit or Class I, II, and III bicycle lanes such as University Avenue, Bryant Street, California Avenue, and Bayshore Road, which would encourage the use of bicycles and reduce reliance on single- occupancy vehicles and VMT. Action N2: Ensure No Net Tree Canopy Loss for all projects. Consistent. Future development would be required to comply with the City’s Tree Ordinance pursuant to Title 8 of the PAMC, which also ensures no net loss of canopy across all tree removal types. Action N8: Expand the requirements of the Water Efficient Landscape Ordinance (WELO) to increase native and drought-tolerant species composition. Consistent. Future development would be required to comply with the most updated requirements of WELO pursuant to Section 12.32.040 of the PAMC. Action N9: Phase out gas-powered lawn and garden equipment, in compliance with California’s AB 1346. Consistent. Future development would be required to comply with AB 1346 and would be prohibited from using gas-powered lawn and garden equipment. Action ZW2: Promote residential food waste reduction. Consistent: Future development facilitated by the proposed HEU would be required to comply with SB 1383 and recycle organic wastes. CARB Scoping Plan Measures Consider enhanced energy efficiency (high efficiency air conditioners, light-emitting diode lamps, efficiency improvements in industrial process cooling and refrigeration, efficient street lighting). Consistent. Future development would be required to comply with the latest CALGreen standards and Building Energy Efficiency Standards, which would require implementation of energy-efficient light fixtures and building materials into the project design, and would ensure energy efficient performance for new buildings. Source: City of Palo Alto 2023a, CARB 2017 As shown in Table 18, the project would be consistent with applicable actions from the City’s S/CAP. Therefore, impacts would be less than significant, and would be generally the same as for the 2030 Comprehensive Plan as analyzed in the 2017 EIR. There would be no new or substantially more severe significant impacts than what was analyzed in the 2017 EIR, and further analysis is not warranted. Item 9 Attachment E - Addendum to the Comprehensive Plan EIR (November 2023)        Item 9: Staff Report Pg. 187  Packet Pg. 254 of 511  CITY OF PALO ALTO 2023-2031 HOUSING ELEMENT CITY OF PALO ALTO P a g e | 8 5 PROJECT CONSISTENCY WITH 2022 SCOPING PLAN The principal State plans and policies for reducing GHG emissions are AB 32, SB 32, and AB 1279. The quantitative goal of AB 32 is to reduce GHG emissions to 1990 levels by 2020; the goal of SB 32 is to reduce GHG emissions to 40 percent below 1990 levels by 2030; and the goal of AB 1279 is to achieve net zero greenhouse gas emissions no later than 2045, and reduce GHG emissions by 85 percent below 1990 levels no later than 2045. The 2022 Scoping Plan expands upon earlier plans to include the AB 1279 targets. The 2022 Scoping Plan’s strategies that are applicable to the proposed project include reducing fossil fuel use and vehicle miles traveled; decarbonizing the electricity sector, maximizing recycling and diversion from landfills; and increasing water conservation. The project would be consistent with these goals since future development would be required to comply with the latest Title 24 Green Building Code and Building Efficiency Energy Standards, as well as the AB 341 waste diversion goal of 75 percent and recycle organic wastes pursuant to SB 1383. Future development facilitated by the project would also be largely located in areas served by transit, such as along El Camino Real, the California Avenue area, and the Downtown area, and would be near or adjacent to transportation corridors currently served by transit or Class I, II, and III bicycle lanes such as University Avenue, Bryant Street, California Avenue, and Bayshore Road. This would reduce reliance on single-occupancy vehicles and VMT and promote bicycling and walking. Future development would also be required to comply with the City’s most updated Reach Code and All-Electric Mandate which requires all-electric building design for single-family, low-rise multi- family, and non-residential development (City of Palo Alto 2022a). Additionally, future development would receive electricity from CPAU, which sources 100 percent GHG free electricity. Therefore, the project would not conflict with the 2022 Scoping Plan and this impact would be less than significant, generally the same as the impact analyzed in the 2017 EIR for the 2030 Comprehensive Plan. Because there would be no new or substantially more severe significant impacts than what was analyzed in the 2017 EIR, further analysis is not warranted. CONCLUSION Although the proposed HEU would facilitate the development of 919 more residential units than analyzed under the 2017 EIR, future development would not result in emissions exceeding the 2031 interpolated thresholds, and would be consistent with the City’s S/CAP and CARB Scoping Plan measures, resulting in less than significant GHG impacts. Therefore, the project would not result in new significant effects not addressed in the prior EIR, and no new mitigation measures are warranted. This issue does not require further study in an EIR.

The 2017 EIR found that the 2030 Comprehensive Plan would not create a significant hazard to the public or environment as a result of the routine transport, use, or disposal of hazardous materials, and would not involve the release of hazardous materials into the environment through upset and accident conditions. The 2017 EIR concluded that with compliance with applicable federal, State, and local regulations regarding the storage, use, and handling of hazardous materials, the 2030 Comprehensive Plan would not result in hazardous emissions or the handling of hazardous wastes within 0.25 mile of an existing or proposed school, and would not expose future occupants to contaminated soil and groundwater. The 2017 EIR also found that the 2030 Comprehensive Plan would not impair implementation or interfere with an adopted emergency response or evacuation plan, or result in a safety hazard from a public airport or private airstrip for people residing or working within the plan area. PROJECT-SPECIFIC IMPACTS a. Would the project create a significant hazard to the public or the environment through the routine transport, use, or disposal of hazardous materials? The proposed HEU would include 919 more housing units compared to buildout assumed in the 2017 EIR and therefore would potentially transport, use, or dispose of more hazardous materials than what was analyzed. However, hazardous materials would be required to be transported under the United States Department of Transportation (DOT) regulations. Future development facilitated by the proposed HEU would be subject to regulatory programs such as those overseen by the RWQCB and the Department of Toxic Substances Control (DTSC). These agencies require applicants for development of potentially contaminated properties to perform investigation and cleanup if the site is found to be contaminated with hazardous substances. In addition, Santa Clara County has substantial regulations concerning hazardous materials under its Certified Unified Program Agencies (CUPA) jurisdiction and related Unified Programs. This is further enforced by Palo Alto Fire Department Programs. The proposed HEU is intended to expand housing capacity and would not facilitate the establishment of uses that would sell, use, store, transport, or release substantial quantities of hazardous materials such as industrial, warehouse, auto-service, or manufacturing uses. Residential uses do not typically use hazardous materials other than small amounts for cleaning and landscaping. These materials would not be different from household chemicals and solvents already in wide use throughout Palo Alto. Residents are anticipated to use limited quantities of products routinely for periodic cleaning, repair, and maintenance or for landscape maintenance/pest control that could contain hazardous materials. Those using such products would be required to comply with all applicable regulations regarding the disposal of household waste.

Therefore, this impact would be less than significant, and would be generally the same as the impact analyzed in the 2017 EIR for the 2030 Comprehensive Plan. Because there would be no new or substantially more severe significant impacts than what was analyzed in the 2017 EIR, further analysis is not warranted. b. Would the project create a significant hazard to the public or the environment through reasonably foreseeable upset and accident conditions involving the release of hazardous materials into the environment? Development under the proposed HEU would facilitate development on sites that are possibly contaminated and inactive, undergoing evaluation, and/or undergoing corrective action, and grading or excavation may result in the transport, disposal, and release of hazardous materials if they are unearthed and removed from the site. However, the amount and type of soil disturbance would be similar to what was analyzed under the 2017 EIR as development would be facilitated on previously disturbed soils, and future development under the project would be subject to regulatory programs such as those overseen by the RWQCB and the DTSC. These agencies require applicants for development of potentially contaminated properties to perform investigation and cleanup if the properties are contaminated with hazardous substances above the applicable environmental screening levels for the site. Future development would also be required to comply with Chapter 17.16 of the PAMC which requires the preparation of a hazardous materials management plan (HMMP) demonstrating the suitable storage of hazardous materials, as well as Chapter 16.11 which requires the implementation of a SWPPP and stormwater pollution prevention measures. Although the proposed HEU would include 919 more housing units compared to buildout assumed in the 2017 EIR, compliance with all applicable federal, State, and local regulations would reduce impacts from the release of hazardous materials to a less than significant level. Therefore, this impact would be less than significant, and would be generally the same as the impact analyzed in the 2017 EIR for the 2030 Comprehensive Plan. Because there would be no new or substantially more severe significant impacts than what was analyzed in the 2017 EIR, further analysis is not warranted. c. Would the project emit hazardous emissions or handle hazardous or acutely hazardous materials, substances, or waste within 0.25 mile of an existing or proposed school? Several housing inventory sites are located within 0.25 mile of a school, such as Palo Verde Elementary School, Fairmeadow Elementary School, Herbert Hoover Elementary School, and Palo Alto High School. The proposed HEU would not involve new industrial or manufacturing uses, or involve the use, storage, disposal, or transportation of significant quantities of hazardous materials. The proposed project is designed to facilitate residential development. Residential uses may involve use and storage of some materials considered hazardous, though primarily these would be limited to solvents, paints, chemicals used for cleaning and building maintenance, and landscaping supplies. These materials would not be different from household chemicals and solvents already in general and wide use throughout the city. Development accommodated under the project therefore would not pose a health risk to nearby schools or Item 9 Attachment E - Addendum to the Comprehensive Plan EIR (November 2023)        Item 9: Staff Report Pg. 192  Packet Pg. 259 of 511  IMPACT ANALYSIS HAZARDS AND HAZARDOUS MATERIALS 9 0 | P a g e Addendum to the 2030 Comprehensive Plan EIR childcare facilities. Additionally, as discussed above under Impacts (a) and (b), future development would be required to comply with existing applicable federal, State, and local regulations which govern the routine use, transport, handling, storage, disposal, and release of hazardous materials. Oversight by the appropriate federal, State, and local agencies and compliance by new development with applicable regulations related to the handling and storage of hazardous materials would minimize the risk of the public’s potential exposure to these substances to a less than significant level. Therefore, this impact would be less than significant, and would be generally the same as the impact analyzed in the 2017 EIR for the 2030 Comprehensive Plan. Because there would be no new or substantially more severe significant impacts than what was analyzed in the 2017 EIR, further analysis is not warranted. d. Would the project be located on a site that is included on a list of hazardous material sites compiled pursuant to Government Code Section 65962.5 and, as a result, would it create a significant hazard to the public or the environment? As discussed in the 2017 EIR, a number of hazardous materials sites are listed on databases compiled pursuant to Government Code Section 65962.5. Most of the sites are listed as closed and have been remediated to the satisfaction of the lead responsible agency (i.e., RWQCB, DTSC, Santa Clara County Department of Environmental Health (SCCDEH)) based on land use at the time of closure. Additionally, several groundwater contaminant plumes underlie certain areas of the city, which could potentially expose future residents to contamination of soil and groundwater. The proposed HEU would facilitate 919 more housing units compared to buildout analyzed in the 2017 EIR, and therefore could potentially facilitate more development on sites containing hazardous materials in underlying groundwater or soils. However, the amount and type of soil disturbance would be similar to what was analyzed under the 2017 EIR as development would be facilitated on previously disturbed soils and on underutilized and non- vacant sites. Future development would be required to adhere to all applicable federal, State, and local regulations regarding cleanup and reuse of a site with hazardous materials, as well as policies within the Safety Element of the 2030 Comprehensive Plan, which would reduce impacts to a less than significant level. Therefore, this impact would be less than significant, and would be generally the same as the impact analyzed in the 2017 EIR for the 2030 Comprehensive Plan. Because there would be no new or substantially more severe significant impacts than what was analyzed in the 2017 EIR, further analysis is not warranted. e. For a project located within an airport land use plan or, where such a plan has not been adopted, within two miles of a public airport or public use airport, would the project result in a safety hazard or excessive noise for people residing or working in the project area? As discussed in the 2017 EIR, the Comprehensive Land Use Plan (CLUP) for the Palo Alto Airport was adopted in November 2008 by the Santa Clara County Airport Land Use Commission (ALUC) and the city amended the Comprehensive Plan in 2009 to incorporate the CLUP (Santa Clara County Airport Land Use Commission 2016). The CLUP includes policies intended to safeguard the general welfare of the inhabitants within the vicinity of the airport and ensure that new surrounding uses do not affect the airport’s continued safe operation (City of Palo Alto 2017a). Unlike Scenario 6 of the 2017 EIR, the proposed HEU would allow residential uses in the ROLM Item 9 Attachment E - Addendum to the Comprehensive Plan EIR (November 2023)        Item 9: Staff Report Pg. 193  Packet Pg. 260 of 511  CITY OF PALO ALTO 2023-2031 HOUSING ELEMENT CITY OF PALO ALTO P a g e | 9 1 zone south of US 101. This area is within the Palo Alto Airport’s Airport Influence Area (AIA); however, this area is not located in the airport’s inner or outer safety zone and is outside of the aircraft noise contours. Future development in the height restricted areas surrounding the airport would be subject to Federal Aviation Regulations (FAR) Part 77, Objects Affecting Navigable Airspace, which establishes imaginary surfaces for airports and runways as a means to identify objects that are obstructions to air navigation. Any penetrations of the FAR Part 77 surface are subject to review on a case-by-case basis. If a safety problem is found to exist, the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) may issue a determination of a hazard to air navigation (Santa Clara County Airport Land Use Commission 2016). The City of Palo Alto establishes and enforces height restrictions in these areas. Therefore, with compliance with existing regulations, the proposed HEU would not interfere with an airport land use plan or create an airport-related safety hazard, and impacts would be less than significant. This impact would be less than significant and would be generally the same as the impact analyzed in the 2017 EIR for the 2030 Comprehensive Plan. Because there would be no new or substantially more severe significant impacts than what was analyzed in the 2017 EIR, further analysis is not warranted. f. Would the project impair implementation of or physically interfere with an adopted emergency response plan or emergency evacuation plan? As discussed in the 2017 EIR, the Palo Alto Office of Emergency Services (OES) is responsible for coordinating agency response to disaster or other large-scale emergencies in Palo Alto with assistance from the Santa Clara County Operational Area in accordance with the State of California Standardized Emergency Management System. The Palo Alto Emergency Operations Plan (EOP) establishes policy direction for emergency planning, mitigation, response, and recovery activities within the city. The Palo Alto EOP addresses interagency coordination, procedures to maintain communication with County and State emergency response teams, and methods to assess the extent of damage and management of volunteers. With participation from the City of Palo Alto and other local agencies, ABAG created an umbrella Hazard Mitigation Plan entitled “Taming Natural Disasters.” In addition, the city participated in development of and has since adopted the Regional Catastrophic Earthquake Mass Transportation Plan, which is an annex to the San Francisco Bay Area Regional Emergency Coordination Plan and addresses mass transportation/evacuation issues in response to a major earthquake (City of Palo Alto 2017a). As discussed in Section 4.13, Public Services and Recreation, future development in Palo Alto would be required to conform to the latest fire code requirements, including provisions for emergency access. With adherence to existing Comprehensive Plan policies and other regulations, implementation of the proposed HEU would not impair or interfere with an emergency response or evacuation plan. Therefore, this impact would be less than significant, and would be generally the same as the impact analyzed in the 2017 EIR for the 2030 Comprehensive Plan. Because there would be no new or substantially more severe significant impacts than what was analyzed in the 2017 EIR, further analysis is not warranted.

Would the project expose people or structures, either directly or indirectly, to a significant risk of loss, injury, or death involving wildland fires? As shown in Map S-8 of the 2017 EIR, much of the area surrounding Palo Alto west of I-280 is considered to have a moderate and high risk of wildland fire, whereas all of the urbanized areas do not have any wildland fire hazards. Since the proposed HEU would facilitate development in non-vacant and underutilized sites in urbanized areas, wildfire risk to future residents would be low. Future development would be subject to the CAL FIRE Strategic Plan and the California Fire Code (CFC), pursuant to Chapter 15.04 of the PAMC. The CFC requires the clearance of debris and vegetation within a prescribed distance from structures in wildlife hazard areas. Additionally, future development would be located in proximity to Palo Alto Fire Stations 1, 2, 3, and 4. Cooperative fire service agreements with the Central County Fire Department (CCFD), City of Menlo Park, City of Mountain View, Woodside Fire Protection District, and Stanford University would further assist the city in protecting people and structures from potential wildland fires. Therefore, this impact would be less than significant, and would be generally the same as the impact analyzed in the 2017 EIR for the 2030 Comprehensive Plan. Because there would be no new or substantially more severe significant impacts than what was analyzed in the 2017 EIR, further analysis is not warranted. CONCLUSION Although the proposed HEU would facilitate the development of 919 more residential units than analyzed under the 2017 EIR, future development would be required to comply with federal, State, and local regulations pertaining to hazards and hazardous materials which would reduce impacts to a less than significant level. Therefore, the project would not result in new significant effects not addressed in the prior EIR, and no new mitigation measures are warranted. This issue does not require further study in an EIR.

Conflict with or obstruct implementation of a water quality control plan or sustainable groundwater management plan? N/A No No No Yes ANALYSIS IN PREVIOUS ENVIRONMENTAL DOCUMENTS Section 4.8 of the 2017 EIR analyzes impacts to hydrology and water quality. The 2017 EIR determined that the 2030 Comprehensive Plan could substantially degrade or deplete groundwater resources or interfere substantially with groundwater recharge since there is a potential for localized lowering of the shallow aquifer during construction dewatering activities. However, implementation of mitigation measure HYD-2 would reduce impacts to a less than significant level. The 2017 EIR found that the 2030 Comprehensive Plan would not violate any water quality standards or waste discharge requirements with compliance with the NPDES General Construction Permit (GCP), SWPPP requiring incorporation of BMPs, and Low Impact Development (LID) treatment measures. The 2017 EIR also states that the 2030 Comprehensive Plan would not increase the rate of stormwater runoff or alter the existing drainage pattern; result in stream bank instability; result in new or increased flooding on-or off-site or exceed the capacity of stormwater drainage systems in local streams; or provide substantial additional sources of pollutants associated with urban runoff or otherwise substantially degrade surface or ground water quality. The 2017 EIR determined that the 2030 Comprehensive Plan would not substantially impede or redirect flood flows through placement of structures within the 100-year flood hazard area with compliance with the National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP) and Flood Hazard Regulations in the PAMC. Additionally, the 2030 Comprehensive Plan would not expose people or structures to a significant risk or loss, injury or death involving flooding by placing housing or other development within a 100-year flood hazard area or a levee or dam failure inundation area and would not result in impacts from inundation by seiche, tsunami, or mudflow. Table 19 lists the mitigation measures from the 2017 EIR related to Hydrology and Water Quality.

(Significant and Mitigable) HYD-2 To reduce potential impacts associated with construction dewatering the proposed Plan shall include policies that address the following topics:  Impacts of basement construction for single-family homes on adjacent properties, public resources, and the natural environment.  Conservation of subsurface water resources.  Reduced residential basement dewatering and other excavation activities.  Construction techniques and recharge strategies to reduce subsurface and surface water impacts.  Monitoring of dewatering and excavation projects.  Cooperation with other jurisdictions and regional agencies to protect groundwater.  Protection of groundwater from the adverse impacts of urban use. Source: City of Palo Alto 2016 PROJECT-SPECIFIC IMPACTS a. Would the project violate any water quality standards or waste discharge requirements? Similar to what was assumed in the 2017 EIR, although development under the proposed HEU would occur on non-vacant and underutilized sites in previously disturbed areas, ground- disturbing activities would still have the potential to cause soil erosion from exposed soil, an accidental release of hazardous materials used for equipment such as vehicle fuels and lubricant, or temporary siltation from storm water runoff. If uncontrolled during construction, soil erosion and water pollutants could have adverse offsite effects on water quality. However, future development that would disturb one or more acre of land would be required to comply with the NPDES GCP as well as prepare a SWPPP that requires the incorporation of BMPs to control sedimentation, erosion, and hazardous materials contamination of runoff during construction. Additionally, projects that apply for a grading permit must also comply with the City of Palo Alto’s grading and erosion and sediment control requirements pursuant to PAMC Chapter 16.28, which require project applicants to submit an erosion and sediment control plan for review by the City prior to the issuance of grading permits. Pursuant to Chapter 16.11 of the PAMC, permanent stormwater pollution prevention measures must also be incorporated into future projects. These may include but are not limited to minimization of impervious surfaces; construction of sidewalks, walkways, and/or patios with permeable surfaces; and minimization of disturbances to natural drainages. Furthermore, all new and redevelopment projects that create or replace 10,000 square feet or more of impervious surface must incorporate site design, source control, and Low Impact Development (LID) treatment measures to the maximum extent practicable. Also, all development or redevelopment projects that create or replace one acre or more of impervious surface and are located in a hydromodification area must implement hydromodification management measures (i.e., post-project runoff rates shall not exceed estimated pre-project rates and durations) (City of Palo Alto 2017a). Item 9 Attachment E - Addendum to the Comprehensive Plan EIR (November 2023)        Item 9: Staff Report Pg. 198  Packet Pg. 265 of 511  IMPACT ANALYSIS HYDROLOGY AND WATER QUALITY 9 6 | P a g e Addendum to the 2030 Comprehensive Plan EIR If groundwater is encountered, future development would be required to comply with the City’s Construction Dewatering System Policy and Plan Preparation Guidelines, which require excavation activities that may encounter groundwater to submit a Construction Dewatering Plan to the City’s Public Works Department (City of Palo Alto 2020). The Public Works Department would review and permit the dewatering plan prior to commencement of dewatering as part of the Street Work Permit process. The Construction Dewatering Plan must comply with the City’s Guidelines that require that water be tested for contaminants prior to initial discharge and at intervals during dewatering. In the dewatering plan, the applicant must include provisions for keeping sediment and contaminated groundwater out of the storm drain system (City of Palo Alto 2017a). Therefore, with compliance with the NPDES GCP, the Municipal Regional Permit (MRP), preparation of a SWPPP, and implementation of site design, source control, and LID treatment control measures for new development would reduce impacts to a less than significant level. This impact would be less than significant and would be generally the same as the impact analyzed in the 2017 EIR for the 2030 Comprehensive Plan. Because there would be no new or substantially more severe significant impacts than what was analyzed in the 2017 EIR, further analysis is not warranted. b. Would the project substantially decrease groundwater supplies or interfere substantially with groundwater recharge such that the project may impede sustainable groundwater management of the basin? The proposed HEU would substantially degrade or deplete groundwater resources or interfere substantially with groundwater recharge if future development would use significant amounts of groundwater for water supply or would significantly increase impervious surfaces or construction dewatering. Since the City receives 100 percent of its potable water from the San Francisco Public Utilities Commission (SFPUC), which obtains its supply from surface water sources, the proposed HEU would not substantially degrade or deplete groundwater resources. Implementation of LID measures, which prioritize the use of on-site infiltration, would also result in some level of groundwater recharge. Although the proposed HEU could potentially increase impervious surfaces within the city more than what was analyzed under the 2017 EIR, future development would be facilitated on non-vacant and underutilized sites that are already built-out. Additionally, future development would be required to comply with Section 18.40.130(f) of the PAMC which lists guidelines for landscaping and pervious paving to accommodate filtration of stormwater runoff from impervious areas. As shown in the Palo Alto groundwater dewatering map, construction dewatering sites in 2020 to 2022 were located primarily along the west of Oregon Expressway and Evergreen Park (City of Palo Alto 2022c). Under the proposed HEU, a few housing sites would be located east of Oregon Expressway and near the Evergreen Park area. Therefore, impacts would be potentially significant. However, with compliance with the City’s Construction Dewatering System Policy and Plan Preparation Guidelines and implementation of policies L-3.5 and N-4.8 of the 2030 Comprehensive Plan EIR, adopted in compliance with Mitigation Measure HYD-2 outlined in the 2017 EIR, impacts associated with construction dewatering would be less than significant.

Because there would be no new or substantially more severe significant impacts than what was analyzed in the 2017 EIR, further analysis is not warranted. c.(i) Would the project substantially alter the existing drainage pattern of the site or area, including through the alteration of the course of a stream or river or through the addition of impervious surfaces, in a manner which would result in substantial erosion or siltation on- or off-site? c.(ii) Would the project substantially alter the existing drainage pattern of the site or area, including through the alteration of the course of a stream or river or through the addition of impervious surfaces, in a manner which would substantially increase the rate or amount of surface runoff in a manner which would result in flooding on- or off-site? c.(iii) Would the project substantially alter the existing drainage pattern of the site or area, including through the alteration of the course of a stream or river or through the addition of impervious surfaces, in a manner that would create or contribute runoff water which would exceed the capacity of existing or planned stormwater drainage systems or provide substantial additional sources of polluted runoff? c.(iv) Would the project substantially alter the existing drainage pattern of the site or area, including through the alteration of the course of a stream or river or through the addition of impervious surfaces, in a manner which would impede or redirect flood flows? Similar to Scenario 6 of the 2017 EIR, the proposed HEU would not convert open space areas, creeks, or wetlands to impervious surfaces or require the alteration of the course of an existing stream or river. The proposed HEU would facilitate development on non-vacant and underutilized sites in urbanized areas. Future development would be required to implement construction phase BMPs as well as post-construction site design measures, source control measures, and stormwater LID treatment measures. Additionally, future development that disturbs one or more acre of land would be required to prepare and submit a SWPPP to the State Water Resources Control Board (SWRCB) that describes the measures to control discharges from construction sites. Pursuant to PAMC Chapter 16.28, projects that apply for a grading permit must also comply with the City of Palo Alto’s grading and erosion and sediment control requirements, which require project applicants to submit an erosion and sediment control plan for review by the city prior to the issuance of grading permits. Furthermore, pursuant to Chapter 16.11 of the PAMC, permanent stormwater pollution prevention measures must also be incorporated into future projects. MRP-regulated projects would be required to treat 80 percent or more of the volume of annual runoff for volume-based treatment measures. Projects that create or replace 2,500 square feet or more, but less than 10,000 square feet, of impervious surface must implement site design measures to reduce stormwater runoff. All future development that satisfies Provision C.3 of the Santa Clara Valley Urban Runoff Pollution Prevention Program (SCVURPPP) would be required to implement post-construction stormwater controls into the design of the project. New on-site storm drain systems in the city must be designed to convey the stormwater runoff Item 9 Attachment E - Addendum to the Comprehensive Plan EIR (November 2023)        Item 9: Staff Report Pg. 200  Packet Pg. 267 of 511  IMPACT ANALYSIS HYDROLOGY AND WATER QUALITY 9 8 | P a g e Addendum to the 2030 Comprehensive Plan EIR from a 10-year storm and project applicants must demonstrate that the runoff discharged from the site to the City’s storm drain system will not exceed its carrying capacity. In addition, the City’s Department of Public Works requires new development to provide storm drain flow and detention calculations that compare pre- and post-project flow rates and volumes. The calculations must be signed and stamped by a registered civil engineer. On-site stormwater detention may also be required to lessen the project’s impact on the City’s storm drain system. A final grading and drainage plan must be prepared by a licensed professional that shows the existing and proposed on-site drainage layout, locations, and elevations and shows the conveyance of stormwater to the nearest City storm drain system. Existing drainage patterns, including the accommodation of off-site runoff, must be maintained (City of Palo Alto 2017a). Therefore, facilitation of development on already built-out sites and compliance with existing State and local regulations related to stormwater would reduce impacts to a less than significant level. Therefore, this impact would be less than significant, and would be generally the same as the impact analyzed in the 2017 EIR for the 2030 Comprehensive Plan. Because there would be no new or substantially more severe significant impacts than what was analyzed in the 2017 EIR, further analysis is not warranted. d. In flood hazard, tsunami, or seiche zones, would the project risk release of pollutants due to project inundation? As discussed in the 2017 EIR, only the Baylands area of Palo Alto is within a tsunami inundation zone and this is a large area of undisturbed marshlands open for recreational access. None of the housing inventory sites facilitated by the proposed HEU would be located in the Baylands area. Additionally, mud and debris flows can occur in the southern, mountainous area of Palo Alto. These areas are maintained as open space and none of the housing inventory sites are located within areas susceptible to mud or debris flows. The proposed HEU would facilitate development on flat and urbanized sites away from crests and steep ridges. Therefore, impacts would be less than significant, and would be generally the same as the impact analyzed in the 2017 EIR for the 2030 Comprehensive Plan. Because there would be no new or substantially more severe significant impacts than what was analyzed in the 2017 EIR, further analysis is not warranted. e. Would the project conflict with or obstruct implementation of a water quality control plan or sustainable groundwater management plan? As discussed under Impact (a), the proposed HEU would not violate water quality or degrade water quality during construction or operation. The City of Palo Alto is under the jurisdiction of the San Francisco Bay RWQCB. The San Francisco Bay RWQCB provides permits for projects that may affect surface waters and groundwater locally and is responsible for preparing the Water Quality Control Plan for the San Francisco Bay Basin (Basin Plan). The Basin Plan designates beneficial uses of water in the region and establishes narrative and numerical water quality objectives. The Basin Plan serves as the basis for the San Francisco Bay RWQCB’s regulatory programs and incorporates an implementation plan for achieving water quality objectives (California Water Board 2017).

This impact would be less than significant and would be generally the same as the impact analyzed in the 2017 EIR for the 2030 Comprehensive Plan. Because there would be no new or substantially more severe significant impacts than what was analyzed in the 2017 EIR, further analysis is not warranted. CONCLUSION Although the proposed HEU would facilitate the development of 919 more residential units than analyzed under the 2017 EIR, future development would be required to comply with federal, State, and local regulations as well as policies adopted in compliance with Mitigation Measure HYD-2 pertaining to hydrology and water quality which would reduce impacts to a less than significant level. Therefore, the project would not result in new significant effects not addressed in the prior EIR, and no new mitigation measures are warranted. This issue does not require further study in an EIR.

Could Proposed Changes Involve New or Substantially More Severe Impacts? Do New Circumstances Result in New or Substantially More Severe Impacts? Does New Information Result in New or Substantially More Severe Significant Impacts? Do 2017 EIR Mitigation Measures Address and/or Resolve Impacts? Would the project: a. Physically divide an established community? EIR Page 4.9-13 through 4.9-15 No No No N/A b. Cause a significant environmental impact due to a conflict with any land use plan, policy, or regulation adopted for the purpose of avoiding or mitigating an environmental effect? EIR Pages 4.9-3 through 4.9-13 No No No N/A ANALYSIS IN PREVIOUS ENVIRONMENTAL DOCUMENTS Section 4.9, Land Use and Planning, of the 2017 EIR analyzed the 2030 Comprehensive Plan’s impacts related to land use. The 2017 EIR found that the 2030 Comprehensive Plan could adversely change the type or intensity of existing or planned land use patterns in the area, and therefore mitigation measure LAND-1 would be required to guide the change in density and character in order to avoid or minimize potential impacts to a less than significant level. Additionally, the 2030 Comprehensive Plan would allow development that could be incompatible with adjacent land uses or with the general character of the surrounding area, including density and building height. Therefore, implementation of mitigation measures LAND- 2 would be required to ensure development is compatible with adjacent land uses and that the general character in Palo Alto is maintained. The 2030 Comprehensive Plan states that the 2030 Comprehensive Plan would not allow development that could conflict with established residential, recreational, educational, religious, or scientific uses of an area; would not allow new development that could conflict with any applicable City land use plan, policy or regulation adopted for the purpose of avoiding or mitigating an environmental effect; and would not conflict with an applicable habitat conservation plan or natural community plan. However, Scenario 6 of the 2030 Comprehensive Plan would include transportation improvements at existing roadways and rail corridors that could potentially physically divide existing communities. As a result, Mitigation Measure LAND-5 would be required to promote connectivity and context-sensitive design of infrastructure improvements and to reduce impacts to a less than significant level. Table 20 lists mitigation measures related to land use and planning in the 2017 EIR.

(Potentially Significant and Mitigable) LAND-5 To avoid potential impacts from physically dividing an established community, the proposed Plan shall include policies that address the following topics:  Enhanced connections to and from parks, schools, and community facilities for all users.  Safe and convenient pedestrian, bicycle, and transit connections between residential areas and commercial centers.  Cooperation with other agencies to improve circulation connections.  Grade separation of rail crossings. Source: City of Palo Alto 2016 PROJECT-SPECIFIC IMPACTS a. Would the project physically divide an established community? The proposed HEU would not divide a community; rather, it is designed to meet the City’s RHNA and includes implementation programs that would promote the development of existing non-vacant, underdeveloped, or underutilized sites, thereby locating people closer to existing employment, goods and services within an established community. Unlike Scenario 6 of the 2017 EIR, which included changes to transportation infrastructure, the proposed HEU would not involve the construction of barriers, such as new roads or other linear development or infrastructure, that would divide the existing communities or neighborhoods. Existing roadways would not be permanently blocked, and temporary construction would not limit access to a community or restrict movement within a community. Nonetheless, future development would continue to implement policies T-1.17 and T-1.19 of the 2030 Comprehensive Plan EIR, adopted in compliance with Mitigation Measure LAND-5 from the 2017 EIR, which would further reduce Item 9 Attachment E - Addendum to the Comprehensive Plan EIR (November 2023)        Item 9: Staff Report Pg. 205  Packet Pg. 272 of 511  CITY OF PALO ALTO 2023-2031 HOUSING ELEMENT CITY OF PALO ALTO P a g e | 1 0 3 impacts to a less than significant level. Therefore, this impact would be less than significant with mitigation, and would be generally the same as the impact analyzed in the 2017 EIR for the 2030 Comprehensive Plan. Because there would be no new or substantially more severe significant impacts than what was analyzed in the 2017 EIR, further analysis is not warranted. b. Would the project conflict with any applicable land use plan, policy, or regulation of an agency with jurisdiction over the project (including but not limited to the general plan, specific plan, local coastal program, or zoning ordinance) adopted for the purpose of avoiding or mitigating an environmental effect? The proposed HEU would provide a framework for introducing new housing at all levels of affordability that is within access to transit, jobs, services, and open spaces. Through its identification of sites for future development and implementation of housing programs, the project would encourage development of up to 6,695 new residential units, which would address the City’s fair share housing needs as quantified in the RHNA plus buffer. As shown in Table 2, with entitled and proposed development, ADUs, underutilized sites with no rezoning required, and rezoning to meet the RHNA, a total of 6,793 units can be accommodated, which is more than the RHNA plus 10 percent buffer of 6,695 units. The proposed HEU would also include zoning ordinance and zoning map amendments to increase permitted density, floor area, and height in the RM-20, RM-30, CN, CC, and CS zones, and permit residential development in the ROLM and GM zones. Although the proposed HEU would allow residential development in the ROLM and GM zones, the corresponding Research/Office Park Comprehensive Plan land use designations for these zones already permit multi-family residential uses and mixed use. The following analysis discusses the project’s consistency with relevant and applicable plans and regulations, including Plan Bay Area 2050 and the 2030 Comprehensive Plan. Consistency with Plan Bay Area is presented in Table 21, and consistency with the Comprehensive Plan is presented in Table 22. The project is determined to be either “consistent” or “inconsistent” with the identified goals and policies. PLAN BAY AREA 2050 As shown in Table 21, the project would be consistent with the key goals and strategies of Plan Bay Area 2050. Therefore, the project would not conflict with Plan Bay Area 2050 and impacts would be less than significant.

Spur Housing Production for Residents of all Income Levels H1. Further strengthen renter protections beyond state law. Building upon recent tenant protection laws, limit annual rent increases to the rate of inflation, while exempting units less than 10 years old. Consistent. The HEU analyzes housing needs for present and future residents. The City’s Regional Housing Needs Assessment (RHNA) allocation is 6,086 units, which are distributed across over four income levels. The units would be distributed as is over the four income levels: 1,556 extremely low and very low units, 896 low units, 1,013 moderate units, and 2,621 above moderate units. The allocation described would be protected and not altered. Furthermore, Policy 4.3 of the proposed HEU encourages new high-quality rental housing and Program 6.6 ensures fair housing by instituting tenant protections to prevent anti- displacement and requiring a 90-day notice for rent increases of 6 percent instead of the State’s 10 percent threshold for noticing. H2. Preserve existing affordable housing. Acquire homes currently affordable to low and middle- income residents for preservation as permanently deed-restricted affordable housing. H4. Build adequate affordable housing to ensure homes for all. Construct enough deed-restricted affordable homes to fill the existing gap in housing for the unhoused community and to meet the needs of low-income households. Consistent. As described above, the Housing Element Update is required to provide 1,556 extremely low and very low units, 896 low units, and 1,013 moderate units. Affordable housing would be preserved for these income levels. HEU Goal 2.0 Affordable Housing and policies and programs under this goal would ensure housing affordability in Palo Alto especially for people at the lowest income levels. H3. Allow a greater mix of housing densities and types in Growth Geographies. Allow a variety of housing types at a range of densities to be built in Priority Development Areas, select Transit-Rich Areas and Select High-Resource Areas. Consistent. As shown in Figure 2-3 of the Project Description (Housing Element Update Sites Inventory Locations), many of the housing inventory sites are generally located in areas near major transportation corridors such as along El Camino Real or in transit-accessible Priority Development Areas (PDAs) such as the California Avenue area and the Downtown area, as well as near existing residential and commercial development. HEU Policies 3.1, 3.3, and 4.4 also aim to promote transit-oriented new construction and encourage construction of new high-density housing on major transit corridors in proximity to transit stations. H5. Integrate affordable housing into all major housing projects. Require a baseline of 10-20% of new market-rate housing developments of five units or more to be affordable to low-income households. Consistent. Pursuant to the City’s Below Market Rate (BMR) Housing Purchase Program, the city requires that developers for new development with three or more residential units to contribute at least 15 percent of those units at below market rates, and projects with seven or more units are required to provide one or more BMR units within the development (City of Palo Alto 2023b). Additionally, HEU Goal 2.0 Affordable Housing aims to ensure Palo Alto residents have access to quality housing at a range of housing options and prices. EN4. Maintain urban growth boundaries. Using urban growth boundaries and other existing environmental protections, focus new development within the existing urban footprint or areas otherwise suitable for growth, as established by local jurisdictions. Consistent. The proposed HEU would facilitate development of housing on underutilized sites in urbanized areas of the city, which would reduce pressure to develop open space areas. By placing residents close to jobs, commercial services, and alternative methods of transportation, the project would reduce greenhouse gas emissions and other criteria pollutants associated with vehicle use to help communities stay healthy and safe.

As noted under Government Code Section 65589.5(a), the Legislature has concluded that “the lack of housing, including emergency shelters, is a critical problem that threatens the economic, environmental, and social quality of life in California.” More specifically, the Legislature’s stated intent is “to assure that counties and cities recognize their responsibilities in contributing to the attainment of the state housing goal…to assure that counties and cities will prepare and implement housing elements which…will move toward attainment of the state housing goal” (Government Code Section 65581). The project would help meet the city’s RHNA allocation, as well as efficiently utilize non-vacant, underutilized, and underdeveloped lots within the city to increase the supply of housing. The project would encourage development of housing, which is supportive of the city’s goal and policies. Table 22 Project Consistency with Relevant 2030 Comprehensive Plan Goals and Policies Comprehensive Plan Policy Proposed HEU Project Consistency Land Use Element Policy L-1.2: Limit future urban development to currently developed lands within the urban service area. The boundary of the urban service area is otherwise known as the urban growth boundary. Retain undeveloped land west of Foothill Expressway and Junipero Serra as open space, with allowances made for very low-intensity development consistent with the open space character of the area. Retain undeveloped land northeast of Highway 101 as open space. Consistent. Most of the housing inventory sites are located in areas near major transportation and commercial corridors such as along El Camino Real or in transit-accessible PDAs such as the California Avenue area and the Downtown area, or are located in commercial areas such as GM/ROLM zones. None of the housing inventory sites are located in areas designated as open space. Policy L-2.4: Use a variety of strategies to stimulate housing, near retail, employment, and transit, in a way that connects to and enhances existing neighborhoods. Consistent. As shown in Figure 3of the Project Description (Housing Element Update Sites Inventory Locations), most of the housing inventory sites are located in areas near major transportation and commercial corridors such as along El Camino Real or in transit- accessible PDAs such the California Avenue area and the Downtown area, as well as near existing residential and commercial development. The proposed HEU would also encourage residential uses in areas shown on Figure 4 and Figure 5. These areas are located near existing services. The addition of housing in the GM/ROLM zones shown on Figure 4 would place housing near services (including those in Mountain View) and on underutilized commercial parcels. Overall, the proposed HEU would create walkable neighborhoods and increase transit ridership. Policy L-2.8: When considering infill redevelopment, work to minimize displacement of existing residents. Consistent. The proposed HEU would facilitate development on non-vacant and underutilized sites. Program 6.6 of the HEU ensures tenant protections and prevents anti-displacement. Policy L-2.9: Facilitate reuse of existing buildings. Consistent. The proposed HEU would not hinder reuse of existing buildings by facilitating development on non-vacant and underutilized sites in urbanized areas.

Policy L-3.1: Ensure that new or remodeled structures are compatible with the neighborhood and adjacent structures. Policy L-6.1: Promote high-quality design and site planning that is compatible with surrounding development and public spaces. Policy L-6.2: Use the Zoning Ordinance, design review process, design guidelines and Coordinated Area Plans to ensure high quality residential and commercial design and architectural compatibility. Consistent. Development facilitated by the proposed HEU would be subject to the City’s Major Architectural Review which includes a hearing and recommendation by the Architectural Review Board on whether the individual project is consistent with the findings for Architectural Review outlined in PAMC Section 18.76.020. This process aims to promote orderly and harmonious development in the city and promote visual environments that are of high aesthetic quality and variety and which, at the same time, are considerate of each other. Additionally, future development in locations within specific area plans would be required to adhere to development guidelines outlined within the respective coordinated area plans, such as the North Ventura Coordinated Area Plan following its adoption. If projects qualify for streamlined review, multifamily projects would be subject to objective design standards that aim to create high-quality design and compatibility with surrounding uses and character. Transportation Element Policy T-1.3: Reduce GHG and pollutant emissions associated with transportation by reducing VMT and per-mile emissions through increasing transit options, supporting biking and walking, and the use of zero- emission vehicle technologies to meet City and State goals for GHG reductions by 2030. Consistent. As shown in Figure 3 (Housing Element Update Sites Inventory Locations), most of the housing inventory sites are located in areas near major transportation corridors such as along El Camino Real, or in transit-accessible PDAs such as the California Avenue area and the Downtown area, as well as near existing residential and commercial development. HEU Policies 3.1, 3.3, and 4.4 also aim to promote transit-oriented new construction and encourage construction of new high-density housing on major transit corridors in proximity to transit stations. The addition of housing in the GM/ROLM zones shown on Figure 4 would place housing near services (including those in Mountain View) and on underutilized commercial parcels. Pursuant to Section 16.14.420 of the PAMC, new multi-family residences would be required to provide at least one EVSE Ready outlet or EVSE installed for each residential unit in the structure for residential parking, and would be required to provide Conduit Only, EVSE Ready Outlet, or EVSE installed for at least 25 percent of guest parking spaces, among which at least 5 percent shall be EVSE installed. Future development facilitated by the project would be required to comply with the most updated EV requirements in both the City’s Reach Code and Title 24 at the time of construction. Source: City of Palo Alto 2017b As shown in Table 21 and Table 22, the proposed HEU would not conflict with applicable goals and policies in Plan Bay Area 2050 or the 2030 Comprehensive Plan. Therefore, impacts would be less than significant, and would be generally the same as the impact analyzed in the 2017 EIR for the 2030 Comprehensive Plan. Because there would be no new or substantially more severe significant impacts than what was analyzed in the 2017 EIR, further analysis is not warranted.

According to the 2017 EIR, most of the city is classified as MRZ-19, MRZ-3 10, or MRZ-4 11, meaning that no significant mineral deposits are present or data does not exist to identify the significance of mineral deposits (City of Palo Alto 2017a). Therefore, there would be no impacts regarding mineral resources, generally the same as the impact analyzed in the 2017 EIR for the 2030 Comprehensive Plan.

EIR Pages 4.10-26 through 4.10-28 No No No N/A ANALYSIS IN PREVIOUS ENVIRONMENTAL DOCUMENTS Section 4.10, Noise, of the 2017 EIR analyzed the 2030 Comprehensive Plan’s impacts related to on-site operational noise, traffic noise, and construction noise. The 2017 EIR found that impacts related to long-term non-transportation, operational noise would be potentially significant due to zoning changes for commercial and residential uses, and mitigation measure NOISE-1a would be required to reduce impacts to a less than significant level. The 2017 EIR also found that transportation noise impacts related to aircraft and railway noise sources would be potentially significant due to encroachment of land uses near aircraft facilities, along with unknown future operations patterns, which could potentially result in unacceptable aircraft-related noise environments from one or both of these Palo Alto-based facilities (Stanford University Hospital helipad and the Palo Alto Airport). Therefore, mitigation measures NOISE-1b and NOISE-1c would be required to reduce impacts to a less than significant level. Additionally, the 2030 Comprehensive Plan would have the potential to result in noise level increases such that Ldn would increase by three dB, causing the Ldn in existing residential areas to exceed 60 dBA. Implementation of mitigation measures NOISE-2 and NOISE-3 would be required to reduce Item 9 Attachment E - Addendum to the Comprehensive Plan EIR (November 2023)        Item 9: Staff Report Pg. 214  Packet Pg. 281 of 511  IMPACT ANALYSIS NOISE 1 1 2 | P a g e Addendum to the 2030 Comprehensive Plan EIR impacts from long-term operational noise as well as transportation noise related to aircraft and railway noise to a less than significant level. The 2017 EIR determined that the 2030 Comprehensive Plan would have the potential to result in indoor noise levels for residential development to exceed 45 dB Ldn, and mitigation measures NOISE-4a and NOISE-4b would be required to reduce indoor noise impacts to a less than significant level. Furthermore, the 2030 Comprehensive Plan would have the potential to expose persons to or generate excessive ground-borne vibration or ground-borne noise levels, and therefore impacts related to temporary construction-related vibration, long-term operational vibration, and railway-related vibration could be potentially significant, requiring implementation of mitigation measures NOISE-5a and NOISE-5b to reduce vibration impacts to a less than significant level. The 2017 EIR also concluded that the 2030 Comprehensive Plan would have the potential to expose people to noise levels in excess of established State standards and standards established in the local General Plan or noise ordinance since previous Comprehensive Plan policies do not require acoustical analyses to demonstrate compliance with applicable interior or exterior noise compatibility standards. Therefore, implementation of mitigation measures NOISE-6 and NOISE-7 would be required to ensure that pertinent exterior and interior noise environments would comply with City guidelines and State standards. Additionally, the 2030 Comprehensive Plan could result in a potentially substantial temporary or periodic increase in ambient noise levels in the project vicinity above levels existing without the project since certain construction activities may lead to substantial temporary or periodic increases to ambient noise levels. Mitigation measure NOISE-8 would be required to reduce impacts to a less than significant level. The 2017 EIR found that the 2030 Comprehensive Plan would not expose people residing or working within an airport land use plan or within two miles of a public airport to excessive noise levels since all areas of Palo Alto are miles outside of the pertinent 65 dBA CNEL noise contour of medium or large airports including the Moffett Federal Airfield (KNUQ), San Carlos Airport (KSQL), San Jose International Airport (SJC), San Francisco International Airport (SFO), and Oakland International Airport (OAK). Additionally, since only airport property and the golf course – neither of which are noise-sensitive land uses – are within the Palo Alto Airport’s 60 dBA CNEL noise contours, within-city public airport noise impacts would also be less than significant. Table 23 lists mitigation measures related to noise in the 2017 EIR.

NOISE-1c To ensure that railway noise would not increase average 24-hour noise levels by 5.0 decibels (dB) or more in an existing residential area, the proposed Plan shall include policies that address the following topics:  Noise spillover from rail-related activities into adjacent noise-sensitive areas.  Reduction of impacts from noise and ground borne vibrations associated with rail operations.  Guidelines for interior noise levels.  Requirements for vibration impact analysis for future development projects.

Source: City of Palo Alto 2016 PROJECT-SPECIFIC IMPACTS a. Would the project result in generation of a substantial temporary or permanent increase in ambient noise levels in the vicinity of the project in excess of standards established in the local general plan or noise ordinance, or applicable standards of other agencies? Standards for interior noise in Palo Alto are currently determined primarily through the Land Use Noise Compatibility Guidelines and interior noise standards set by Title 24 of the State Building Code, while standards for exterior noise are currently determined primarily through the City’s Noise Ordinance, or PAMC Chapter 9.10, and PAMC Section 18.42.190 which outlines requirements for noise and vibration. Although the proposed HEU would include 919 more residential units compared to buildout analyzed in the 2017 EIR and could therefore result in an increased amount of noise in excess of established standards, future development requiring discretionary approval would be required to conduct project-level acoustical analysis pursuant to Section 18.42.190 of the PAMC to demonstrate consistency with applicable land use compatibility requirements and noise standards.

Engine noise reduction technology, including silencers, continues to improve, but heavy construction equipment still generates noise exceeding ambient levels that could cause intermittent annoyance to nearby receivers. Even with adherence to the city’s allowed construction hours of 8 a.m. through 6 p.m. on Monday to Friday and 9 a.m. through 6 p.m. on Saturday, as well as maximum construction noise levels of 110 dBA at a distance of 25 feet pursuant to PAMC Section 9.10.060, it is likely that in certain cases these and other available methods to reduce noise would be inadequate to prevent a significant impact. Therefore, future development would also be required to comply with Policy N-6.11 of the 2030 Comprehensive Plan, adopted in compliance with Mitigation Measure NOISE-8 of the 2017 EIR which would reduce noise impacts to a less than significant level. Therefore, this impact would be less than significant with mitigation, and would be generally the same as the impact analyzed in the 2017 EIR for the 2030 Comprehensive Plan. Because there would be no new or substantially more severe significant impacts than what was analyzed in the 2017 EIR, further analysis is not warranted. TRANSPORTATION-RELATED NOISE IMPACTS AIRPORT/HELIPORT NOISE As discussed in the 2017 EIR, because Palo Alto has only one heliport at Stanford University Hospital, and one airport, the Palo Alto Airport, notable increases in ambient noise levels from air traffic are not anticipated. However, encroachment of land uses near these aircraft facilities, along with unknown future operations patterns, could potentially result in unacceptable aircraft-related noise environments from one or both of these Palo Alto-based facilities. Aircraft operations may cause the Ldn to increase by five DB or more in an existing residential area. The proposed HEU does not envision housing inventory sites in proximity to the Stanford University Hospital helipad, and the closest housing inventory site from the Palo Alto Airport would be located approximately three miles southeast. As with the 2017 EIR, future development would be required to comply with policies L-10.3 and N-6.12 of the 2030 Comprehensive Plan, adopted in compliance with Mitigation Measure NOISE-1b, which would reduce impacts from airport or heliport noise to a less than significant level, generally the same as the impact analyzed in the 2017 EIR for the 2030 Comprehensive Plan. Because there would be no new or substantially more severe significant impacts than what was analyzed in the 2017 EIR, further analysis is not warranted. RAILWAY NOISE As discussed in the 2017 EIR, with only one single railway alignment through the city, railway operations (primarily Caltrain pass-bys) are not anticipated to notably increase community noise levels, except in the immediate vicinity of the rail lines. However, the 2017 EIR determined that since a definitive assessment of operations increases cannot be determined, future railway operations could potentially cause the Ldn to increase by five dB or more in an existing residential area. Since the proposed HEU would facilitate an increased number of units Item 9 Attachment E - Addendum to the Comprehensive Plan EIR (November 2023)        Item 9: Staff Report Pg. 218  Packet Pg. 285 of 511  IMPACT ANALYSIS NOISE 1 1 6 | P a g e Addendum to the 2030 Comprehensive Plan EIR along Alma Street where Caltrain runs parallel, impacts could potentially be significant. However, future development would be required to comply with policies N-6.11 and N-6.14 of the 2030 Comprehensive Plan, adopted in compliance with Mitigation Measure NOISE-1c, which would reduce impacts from railway noise to a less than significant level, generally the same as the impact analyzed in the 2017 EIR for the 2030 Comprehensive. Because there would be no new or substantially more severe significant impacts than what was analyzed in the 2017 EIR, further analysis is not warranted. OPERATIONAL NOISE IMPACTS As discussed in the 2017 EIR, development would have the potential to receive noise from both highways and major arterials, and certain areas would require special noise-insulating features or construction techniques. Project-level acoustical analyses, at a minimum, would need to examine portions of individual housing sites nearest to major transportation corridors to measure current, 24-hour ambient noise levels and determine appropriate site design and/or construction techniques for noise attenuation. Future development facilitated by the proposed HEU would be required to conduct project-level acoustical analysis pursuant to Section 18.42.190 of the PAMC, and would be required to comply with policies N-6.1, 6.2, and 6.6 of the 2030 Comprehensive Plan, adopted in compliance with Mitigation Measure NOISE-1a of the 2017 EIR, which would reduce impacts on interior noise to a less than significant level, generally the same as the impact analyzed in the 2017 EIR for the 2030 Comprehensive Plan. The project allows for higher density/intensity land uses in some areas of Palo Alto than currently permitted, leading to additional vehicle trips on area roadways. Under full buildout of the project, an estimated 919 new units compared to buildout in the 2030 Comprehensive Plan would be added to Palo Alto. By generating new vehicle trips, new development would incrementally increase the exposure of land uses along roadways to traffic noise. Development facilitated by the project would increase vehicle trips in Palo Alto, depending on the location and intensity of individual projects. As discussed under Section 3, Air Quality, the proposed HEU would increase residential vehicle trips from 2015 conditions by 17.3 percent. It is unlikely that a vehicle trip growth of 17.3 percent would result in a 100 percent increase in traffic volumes on a given roadway segment. When analyzing roadway vehicle trips, a three dBA increase in noise is considered noticeable. A 40 percent increase in trips equates to a noise increase of less than 1.5 decibels. A 1.5 dBA increase in noise would not be perceptible, and the increase in traffic volumes on any given roadway segment is expected to be below 40 percent. A doubling of traffic volumes would be required to reach the threshold of noticeability (a 3-dba increase in noise levels). A doubling of traffic volumes on a roadway (i.e., a 100 percent increase) is not anticipated under the project, considering trips are only anticipated to increase by 17.3 percent. Traffic volumes on streets would not increase by 40 percent on average, and therefore increases in traffic noise would be less than perceptible. Increases in roadway noise would be less than significant generally the same as the impact analyzed in the 2017 EIR for the 2030 Comprehensive Plan. Because there would be no new or substantially more severe significant impacts than what was analyzed in the 2017 EIR, further analysis is not warranted.

The proposed rezoning that would occur under the proposed HEU would allow for increased residential density in RM-20, RM-30, CN, CC, and CS zones, and would allow for residential uses in non-residential zones such as ROLM and GM zones. Therefore, as with the 2017 EIR, impacts would be potentially significant. However, future development would be required to comply with policies N-6.1, 6.2, and 6.6 of the 2030 Comprehensive Plan, adopted in compliance with Mitigation Measures NOISE-2 and NOISE-3 of the 2017 EIR, which would reduce impacts from long-term operational noise to a less than significant level, generally the same as the impact analyzed in the 2017 EIR for the 2030 Comprehensive Plan. Because there would be no new or substantially more severe significant impacts than what was analyzed in the 2017 EIR, further analysis is not warranted. b. Would the project result in generation of excessive groundborne vibration or groundborne noise levels? As discussed in the 2017 EIR, groundborne vibration can be related to short-term impacts from construction activities, on-going impacts related to operation, or on-going impacts related to rail pass-bys. CONSTRUCTION VIBRATION IMPACTS Since the proposed HEU would include 919 more residential units compared to Scenario 6 of the 2017 EIR, vibration resulting from construction activities could occur more frequently; however, the intensity of vibration would be similar as analyzed previously as the type of equipment anticipated would be similar. Overall, vibration impacts related to construction would be short-term, temporary, and generally restricted to the areas in the immediate vicinity of active construction equipment. Methods to reduce vibration during construction would include the use of smaller equipment, use of well-maintained equipment, use of static rollers instead of vibratory rollers, and drilling of piles as opposed to pile driving. Methods to reduce human impacts of vibration from construction include limitations on construction hours and/or guidelines for the positioning of vibration-generating construction equipment. Construction would be localized and would occur intermittently for varying periods of time. Because specific, project-level information is not available at this time, it is not possible to quantify construction- related vibration impacts at specific sensitive receptors. Future development requiring discretionary approval would be required to undergo individual review to ensure construction vibration impacts are reduced. Nonetheless, vibration impacts could be potentially significant and construction of future development would be required to comply with policies N-6.3, 6.11, and 6.14 of the 2030 Comprehensive Plan, adopted in compliance with Mitigation Measures NOISE-5a and NOISE-5b of the 2017 EIR, which would reduce construction-related vibration impacts to a less than significant level, generally the same as the impact analyzed in the 2017 EIR for the 2030 Comprehensive Plan. Because there would be no new or substantially more severe significant impacts than what was analyzed in the 2017 EIR, further analysis is not warranted. Item 9 Attachment E - Addendum to the Comprehensive Plan EIR (November 2023)        Item 9: Staff Report Pg. 220  Packet Pg. 287 of 511  IMPACT ANALYSIS NOISE 1 1 8 | P a g e Addendum to the 2030 Comprehensive Plan EIR OPERATIONAL VIBRATION IMPACTS Future development would have a significant environmental effect involving operational vibration if it would increase the risk of harm to surrounding properties from such vibrational hazards. Since operation of residential housing development would not involve activities that would result in substantial vibration levels, such as use of heavy equipment or machinery, the project would not have any known environmental impact involving operational vibration. Additionally, future development would be required to comply with Section 18.42.190 of the PAMC which contains restrictions regarding the generation of vibration that is perceptible without instruments at the lot line of the receiving property. Therefore, impacts would be generally the same as the impact analyzed in the 2017 EIR for the 2030 Comprehensive Plan. Because there would be no new or substantially more severe significant impacts than what was analyzed in the 2017 EIR, further analysis is not warranted. RAILWAY PASS-BY VIBRATION IMPACTS CEQA is concerned with the impacts of a project on the environment, and not the impacts of the environment on a project. A project would not have a significant environmental effect involving railway pass-by vibration, unless the project would increase the risk of harm to surrounding properties from such vibrational hazards. Therefore, the project would not have any known environmental impact involving railway pass-by vibration. Even if CEQA were concerned with impacts of the environment on projects, the impact would be less than significant. The 2017 EIR states that Scenario 6 may result in long-term vibration impacts if sensitive land uses were allowed to be developed in proximity to existing railways. Since the proposed HEU would include 919 more residential units compared to Scenario 6 of the 2017 EIR, it would place more sensitive receptors in proximity to existing railways. These additional receptors would be exposed to similar vibration levels as considered in the 2017 EIR. While vibration impacts related to rail pass-bys would be short-term, temporary, and generally restricted to the areas in the immediate vicinity of a railway, vibration effects from on-going rail pass-bys could be objectionable. These vibration effects can range from no perceptible effects at the lowest vibration levels, to low rumbling sounds and perceptible vibrations at moderate levels, to slight structural damage at the highest levels. Vibration from rail pass-bys rarely reaches the levels that can damage structures, but groundborne vibration and groundborne noise can reach perceptible and audible levels in buildings that are close to railways. As such, appropriate setbacks, buffers, and/or other measures can largely eliminate these impacts since these basic techniques are particularly effective approaches to avoid vibration impacts. However, individual project review would still be needed to ensure appropriately reduced vibration impacts arising from rail pass-bys. Future development would also be required to comply with policies N-6.3, 6.11, and 6.14 of the 2030 Comprehensive Plan, adopted in compliance with Mitigation Measures NOISE-5a and NOISE-5b of the 2017 EIR, which would reduce railway pass-by vibration impacts to a less than significant level, generally the same as the impact for the 2017 EIR for the 2030 Comprehensive Plan. Because there would be no new or substantially more severe significant impacts than what was analyzed in the 2017 EIR, further analysis is not warranted.

For a project located within the vicinity of a private airstrip or an airport land use plan or, where such a plan has not been adopted, within two miles of a public airport or public use airport, would the project expose people residing or working in the project area to excessive noise levels? As discussed in the 2017 EIR, the City of Palo Alto owns and operates the Palo Alto Airport (KPAO), a relatively small public air facility which primarily serves single-engine, general aviation (GA) aircraft. At the nearest points within city limits, Palo Alto is located approximately 2.6 miles to the west of Moffett Federal Airfield (KNUQ), 6 miles to the southeast of San Carlos Airport (KSQL), 10 miles to the northwest of the San Jose International Airport (SJC), 15 miles to the southeast of San Francisco International Airport (SFO), and 17 miles to the south of Oakland International Airport (OAK) (City of Palo Alto 2017a). As shown in Figure 5 of the Palo Alto Airport CLUP, none of the housing inventory sites are located within the airport’s 55 to 70 CNEL noise contours, and therefore would not exceed the “Normally Acceptable” noise levels for compatibility for those land uses. Nonetheless, as with the 2017 EIR, future development would be required to comply with policies L-10.3 and N-6.12 of the 2030 Comprehensive Plan, adopted in compliance with Mitigation Measure NOISE-1b, which would reduce impacts from airport or heliport noise to a less than significant level. Therefore, impacts would be less than significant with mitigation, and would be generally the same as the impact for the 2017 EIR for the 2030 Comprehensive Plan. Because there would be no new or substantially more severe significant impacts than what was analyzed in the 2017 EIR, further analysis is not warranted. CONCLUSION Although the proposed HEU would facilitate the development of 919 more residential units than analyzed under the 2017 EIR, future development would result in less than significant impacts regarding noise and vibration with implementation of policies adopted in compliance with Mitigation Measures NOISE-1a through NOISE-1c, NOISE-2, NOISE-3, NOISE-4a and NOISE- 4b, and 5a and 5b of the 2017 EIR. Therefore, the project would not result in new significant effects not addressed in the prior EIR, and no new mitigation measures are warranted. This issue does not require further study in an EIR.

EIR Pages 4.11-10 through 4.11-13 No No No N/A ANALYSIS IN PREVIOUS ENVIRONMENTAL DOCUMENTS Section 4.11, Population and Housing, of the 2017 EIR analyzed the 2030 Comprehensive Plan’s impacts related to population and housing growth. The 2017 EIR found that Scenario 6 of the 2030 Comprehensive Plan could increase the total population from 65,685 persons in 2014 to 79,765 persons in 2030, resulting in an addition of 2,665 persons or a 3.34 percent increase from ABAG projections. However, the 2017 EIR concluded that the exceedance of ABAG projections is intended to help to lower the jobs-to employed-resident ratio by providing more local housing opportunities, thereby helping to alleviate the need for workers to commute to Palo Alto from other areas of the region. Therefore, the 2030 Comprehensive Plan would not directly or indirectly induce substantial population growth and impacts would be less than significant. The 2017 EIR determined that the 2030 Comprehensive Plan would not displace a substantial number of existing housing or people or necessitate the construction of replacement housing elsewhere since the 2015-2023 Housing Element included policies and programs that protect existing residents, neighborhoods, and housing. Additionally, the 2030 Comprehensive Plan would not create a substantial imbalance between employed residents and jobs, and impacts would be less than significant.

Would the project induce substantial unplanned population growth in an area, either directly (for example, by proposing new homes and businesses) or indirectly (for example, through extension of roads or other infrastructure)? For the purposes of this analysis, buildout under the proposed HEU would add up to 6,919 new residential units in the city by the year 2031, or approximately 919 residential units more than what was analyzed under Scenario 6 of the Comprehensive Plan EIR. Based on the estimated number of 2.51 residents per household, the additional 919 units compared to Scenario 6 would lead to an increase of approximately 2,307 new residents during the housing element cycle 2023 to 2031 assuming all of the estimated 919 units are built (DOF 2022). Although the proposed HEU would increase residential units compared to Scenario 6, the State requires that all local governments adequately plan to meet the housing needs of their communities. Given that the State is currently in an ongoing housing crisis due to an insufficient housing supply, the additional units under the proposed project would further assist in addressing the existing crisis and meeting the housing needs of the City’s communities. Furthermore, the proposed HEU would first be submitted to the HCD for review and approval to ensure that it would adequately address the housing needs and demands of the city. Approval by the HCD would ensure that population and housing growth under the proposed HEU would not be substantial or unplanned. Additionally, growth under the proposed HEU would be concentrated in locations where such development is encouraged by adopted plans due to their proximity to transit and transportation corridors as well as located near commercial uses and services and on underutilized sites. The proposed HEU would facilitate infill growth, promote housing in close proximity to employment opportunities, and support regional planning efforts. Lastly, this analysis is conservative because it assumes a maximum buildout scenario. The project’s actual contribution to population growth may be less than estimated. In addition, the project would not involve the extension of roads or other infrastructure that could indirectly lead to population growth. The city is mostly developed and is supported by existing public services and infrastructure which are sufficient to serve the additional housing units. Therefore, the project would not result in substantial unplanned population growth, either directly or indirectly, and impacts would be less than significant, generally the same as the impact analyzed in the 2017 EIR for the 2030 Comprehensive Plan. Because there would be no new or substantially more severe significant impacts than what was analyzed in the 2017 EIR, further analysis is not warranted. b. Would the project displace substantial numbers of existing people or housing, necessitating the construction of replacement housing elsewhere? “Substantial” displacement would occur if the proposed project would displace more residences than would be accommodated through growth facilitated by the project. The goal of the proposed project is to accommodate and encourage new residential development in Palo Item 9 Attachment E - Addendum to the Comprehensive Plan EIR (November 2023)        Item 9: Staff Report Pg. 225  Packet Pg. 292 of 511  CITY OF PALO ALTO 2023-2031 HOUSING ELEMENT CITY OF PALO ALTO P a g e | 1 2 3 Alto. A portion of the housing units would be developed at a density range that could accommodate low and very low-income housing as required to meet the 6th Cycle RHNA. Development under the proposed HEU would result in 919 more residential units compared to Scenario 6 of the 2017 EIR. The proposed buildout, in addition to existing and planned housing projects, would result in an overall increase in available housing which exceeds the City’s RHNA requirements. Therefore, overall, the proposed HEU would add to the City’s housing stock to meet housing goals. On an individual site basis, it is possible that some redevelopment projects could result in displacement of current residents. However, the proposed HEU includes policies and programs to reduce displacement impacts. For example, Program 2.2 addresses the potential loss of rental housing and displacement of lower- and moderate-income households due to new development and ensures the retainment of a stock of affordable housing through a Below Market Rate (BMR) Program, while Program 6.6 of the proposed HEU aims to provide fair housing and Implementing Objective 6 serves to institute tenant protections to prevent anti- displacement. Therefore, although the proposed HEU would provide additional housing in excess of RHNA requirements and Scenario 6, there are policies and programs in place to reduce displacement resulting from the proposed project, and impacts would be less than significant, generally the same as the impact analyzed in the 2017 EIR for the 2030 Comprehensive Plan. Because there would be no new or substantially more severe significant impacts than what was analyzed in the 2017 EIR, further analysis is not warranted. CONCLUSION Although the proposed HEU would facilitate the development of 919 more residential units than analyzed under the 2017 EIR, future development would not induce substantial unplanned population growth or displace substantial numbers of existing people and housing, and impacts would be less than significant. Therefore, the project would not result in new significant effects not addressed in the prior EIR, and no new mitigation measures are warranted. This issue does not require further study in an EIR.

The 2017 EIR states that the 2030 Comprehensive Plan would not result in an adverse physical impact associated with the construction of additional school facilities, fire protection facilities, police facilities, and libraries. Impacts would be less than significant. However, the 2017 EIR found that the 2030 Comprehensive Plan could result in an adverse physical impact from the construction of additional parks and recreation facilities since Scenario 6 would require new parkland to accommodate new development and meet the City’s parkland standard. Therefore, implementation of mitigation measure PS-7 would be required to reduce impacts to a less than significant level. Table 24 lists mitigation measures related to public services and recreation in the 2017 EIR.

Source: City of Palo Alto 2016 PROJECT-SPECIFIC IMPACTS a. Would the project result in substantial adverse physical impacts associated with the provision of new or physically altered fire protection facilities, or the need for new or physically altered fire protection facilities, the construction of which could cause significant environmental impacts, in order to maintain acceptable service ratios, response times or other performance objectives? To meet increased demand under the 2030 Comprehensive Plan, the 2017 EIR found that the City of Palo Alto Fire Department (PAFD) would likely increase staffing for EMS delivery and new apparatus and fire station improvements or expansions, but would not anticipate the need to construct a new station, as development would be located in existing urbanized areas already served by existing PAFD stations. Furthermore, the city’s approved infrastructure plan includes the replacement of two fire stations (City of Palo Alto 2017a). Fire Station 3 was replaced in March 2020 to meet the most current California Building Codes (CBC), Essential Services Building Seismic Safety Act, American with Disabilities Act (ADA), National Fire Protection Association (NFPA), and OSHA standards, and Fire Station 4 is currently underway and will be completed in December 31, 2025 (City of Palo Alto 2022d). Although the proposed HEU would increase the number of residential units by 919 compared to Scenario 6 of the 2017 EIR, future development would be facilitated on non-vacant and underutilized sites in urbanized areas such as along El Camino Real, the California Avenue area, the Downtown area, and in the GM/ROLM zones which are already served by existing fire stations. Future remodeling or expansion of PAFD facilities to accommodate new equipment would not be needed to specifically to serve the additional residential units, which would be added incrementally in various locations in the city and served by more than one fire station. Therefore, impacts would be less than significant, and would be generally the same as the impact analyzed in the 2017 EIR for the 2030 Comprehensive Plan. Because there would be no new or substantially more severe significant impacts than what was analyzed in the 2017 EIR, further analysis is not warranted.

Would the project result in substantial adverse physical impacts associated with the provision of new or physically altered police protection facilities, or the need for new or physically altered police protection facilities, the construction of which could cause significant environmental impacts, in order to maintain acceptable service ratios, response times or other performance objectives? Police protection in the city is provided by the Palo Alto Police Department (PAPD). As discussed under Impact (a), although the proposed HEU would increase the number of residential units by 919 compared to Scenario 6 of the 2017 EIR, future development would be facilitated on non- vacant and underutilized sites in urbanized areas such as El Camino Real, the California Avenue area, the Downtown area, and in the GM/ROLM zones, which are already served by an existing police station. The PAPD has already indicated that the existing police station is inadequate to accommodate current and future needs, and the city is currently constructing a new Public Safety Building (PSB) at 250 Sherman Avenue which will serve as the new headquarters of the Police Department, the Fire Department and the Office of Emergency Services and house the city's dispatch operation. Future construction or expansion of the PAPD facility would not be a result specifically of the additional residential units and was evaluated separately in accordance with CEQA to identify potential environmental impacts and mitigation measures as needed for the approved project. With the new police station, which is anticipated to be operational in early 2024, police services would be adequate to accommodate current and future needs of the city. Although additional units would result in varying amounts of housing, population, and employees, the HEU identifies sizes for rezoning and directs new housing construction to sites and areas of Palo Alto that are already urbanized, all of which are currently served by the PAPD and within the city limit of Palo Alto. Therefore, impacts would be less than significant, and would be generally the same as the impact analyzed in the 2017 EIR for the 2030 Comprehensive Plan. Because there would be no new or substantially more severe significant impacts than what was analyzed in the 2017 EIR, further analysis is not warranted. c. Would the project result in substantial adverse physical impacts associated with the provision of new or physically altered schools, or the need for new or physically altered schools, the construction of which could cause significant environmental impacts, in order to maintain acceptable service ratios or other performance objectives? Palo Alto is served by the Palo Alto Unified School District (PAUSD), which consists of 12 primary schools, three middle schools, two high schools, and an adult school. In general, kindergarten enrollment has been increasing within PAUSD, however, projections forecast a decline in enrollment district-wide across a 10-year period based upon historical enrollment trends and projected new development (DecisionInsite 2021). As discussed in the 2017 EIR, Scenario 6 would result in enrollment that would exceed the capacity of existing PAUSD elementary schools, middle schools, and high schools. Since the proposed HEU would include 919 more units compared to Scenario 6, the proposed HEU would also result in enrollment that would exceed the capacity of existing PAUSD schools. Although the increased enrollment would add stress to schools in PAUSD, this growth would occur over a period of approximately 8 years from 2023 to 2031, resulting in a gradual increase in demand for school service in PAUSD. Additionally, in order to offset a project’s potential impact to Item 9 Attachment E - Addendum to the Comprehensive Plan EIR (November 2023)        Item 9: Staff Report Pg. 230  Packet Pg. 297 of 511  IMPACT ANALYSIS PUBLIC SERVICES 1 2 8 | P a g e Addendum to the 2030 Comprehensive Plan EIR schools, school impact fees would be charged to new residential and commercial development that occurs under the proposed project consistent with State law. Government Code 65995 (b) establishes the base amount of allowable developer fees a school district can collect from development projects located within its boundaries. The fees obtained by school districts that serve Palo Alto are used for construction or reconstruction of school facilities. Future development facilitated by the proposed project would be required to pay school impact fees which, pursuant to Section 65995 (3) (h) of the California Government Code (Senate Bill 50, chaptered August 27, 1998), are “deemed to be full and complete mitigation of the impacts of any legislative or adjudicative act, or both, involving, but not limited to, the planning, use, or development of real property, or any change in governmental organization or reorganization.” Facility expansions in the PAUSD would require project-specific environmental analysis under CEQA to address site-specific environmental concerns. Therefore, existing laws and regulations that require funding for the provision or expansion of new school facilities would offset impacts from new residential development, and impacts would be less than significant, and would be generally the same as the impact analyzed in the 2017 EIR for the 2030 Comprehensive Plan. Because there would be no new or substantially more severe significant impacts than what was analyzed in the 2017 EIR, further analysis is not warranted. d. Would the project result in substantial adverse physical impacts associated with the provision of new or physically altered parks, or the need for new or physically altered parks, the construction of which could cause significant environmental impacts, in order to maintain acceptable service ratios or other performance objectives? Refer to Section 16, Recreation. e. Would the project result in substantial adverse physical impacts associated with the provision of other new or physically altered public facilities, or the need for other new or physically altered public facilities, the construction of which could cause significant environmental impacts, in order to maintain acceptable service ratios, response times or other performance objectives? The 2017 EIR states that while an overall increase in residents is expected, the growth would occur incrementally throughout the 15-year time horizon of the 2030 Comprehensive Plan; therefore, potential impacts from increased demand from library services would not occur in the immediate future. Similarly, growth induced from the proposed HEU would occur incrementally over eight years from 2023 to 2031. Pursuant to Chapter 16.58 of the PAMC, future development would be required to contribute impact fees to offset potential impacts from increased demand in library facilities and to ensure library facilities remain adequate. Therefore, impacts would be less than significant, and would be generally the same as the impact analyzed in the 2017 EIR for the 2030 Comprehensive Plan. Because there would be no new or substantially more severe significant impacts than what was analyzed in the 2017 EIR, further analysis is not warranted.

Would the project increase the use of existing neighborhood and regional parks or other recreational facilities such that substantial physical deterioration of the facility would occur or be accelerated? b. Does the project include recreational facilities or require the construction or expansion of recreational facilities which might have an adverse physical effect on the environment? The City of Palo Alto has adopted a policy of 4 acres of neighborhood and district parkland for every 1,000 residents and a parkland dedication standard of 5 acres of parkland (including open space) for every 1,000 residents. Based on the existing 2022 population of 67,473 and the adopted parkland standard, Palo Alto should currently provide 269.9 acres of neighborhood Item 9 Attachment E - Addendum to the Comprehensive Plan EIR (November 2023)        Item 9: Staff Report Pg. 234  Packet Pg. 301 of 511  IMPACT ANALYSIS RECREATION 1 3 2 | P a g e Addendum to the 2030 Comprehensive Plan EIR and district parkland.12 There is an existing total of 173.4 acres of neighborhood and district parkland, 96.5 acres below the adopted policy. The proposed HEU would increase the number of residential units by 919 compared to Scenario 6 of the 2017 EIR, and would therefore increase the demand for parks and recreational facilities and would require more acres of new parkland to meet the city’s requirement that new residential development provide 5 acres of parkland per 1,000 residents. As noted above, the city currently provides less parkland than required to meet its adopted policy for neighborhood and district parkland. Nonetheless, future development would be required to comply with Chapter 21.50 of the PAMC which outlines requirements for parkland dedication or in lieu fees payment, and the ongoing master planning effort for the parks, trails, and open space system would develop strategies for the addition and improvement of park land. Because the exact locations of future residential or parkland development are not known at this time, it would be speculative to assess the physical environmental impacts associated with the construction of future park facilities. However, given the need to new parkland under the proposed HEU, construction or expansion of new parks or recreation facilities would be expected and the impact would be potentially significant. However, future development would be required to comply with Policy N-1.13 of the 2030 Comprehensive Plan, adopted in compliance with Mitigation Measure PS-7 of the 2017 EIR, which would address the potential physical impacts of park construction and improvement and reduce impacts to a less than significant level, generally the same as the impact analyzed in the 2017 EIR for the 2030 Comprehensive Plan. Because there would be no new or substantially more severe significant impacts than what was analyzed in the 2017 EIR, further analysis is not warranted. CONCLUSION Although the proposed HEU would facilitate the development of 919 more residential units than analyzed under the 2017 EIR, future development would not result in the substantial deterioration of existing neighborhood and regional parks. The proposed HEU could result in the construction or expansion of new parks or recreational facilities and this impact could be potentially significant. However, Policy N-1.13 adopted in compliance with Mitigation Measure PS-7 would reduce impacts to a less than significant level. Therefore, the project would not result in new significant effects not addressed in the prior EIR, and no new mitigation measures are warranted.

The 2017 EIR analyzes transportation impacts using the level of service (LOS) methodology and found that impacts would be significant and unavoidable since there would be six intersections with a substandard LOS and there would be a significant impact during at least one of the peak hours. Although implementation of mitigation measures TRANS-1a through 1e would mitigate the projected impact to a less than significant level, Scenario 6 would still result in some impacted intersections, both because of growth in Palo Alto and regional growth. Therefore, the mitigation measures would reduce, but not eliminate, impacts at five of the six study intersections analyzed in the 2017 EIR. Additionally, the 2030 Comprehensive Plan was found to cause a freeway segment or ramp to drop below its level of service standard, or deteriorate operations that already operate at a substandard level of service since mitigation measures TRANS-1a and TRANS-3b would reduce but not eliminate the impact under Scenario 6 on four freeway segments. Although mitigation measures TRANS-3a and 3b would be required, impacts would remain significant and unavoidable. The 2017 EIR found that the 2030 Comprehensive Plan would not cause a roadway segment to drop below its level of service standard or deteriorate operations that already operate at a substandard level of service. Item 9 Attachment E - Addendum to the Comprehensive Plan EIR (November 2023)        Item 9: Staff Report Pg. 236  Packet Pg. 303 of 511  IMPACT ANALYSIS TRANSPORTATION 1 3 4 | P a g e Addendum to the 2030 Comprehensive Plan EIR The 2017 EIR concluded that the 2030 Comprehensive Plan would not impede the function of planned bicycle or pedestrian facilities since compliance with existing City regulations and procedures would maintain existing and may improve the function of planned bicycle and pedestrian facilities. Furthermore, the 2030 Comprehensive Plan would not increase demand for pedestrian and bicycle facilities as well as transit services that cannot be met by existing or planned facilities or services. The 2030 Comprehensive Plan would also not result in inadequate emergency access and impacts would be less than significant. The 2017 EIR determined that the 2030 Comprehensive Plan would create the potential demand for through traffic to use local residential streets and would create an operational safety hazard since growth under Scenario 6 could result in increased congestion, increasing the potential for drivers to divert onto local streets and therefore causing a potential for increase in accidents onto local streets. Therefore, mitigation measures TRANS-8 and TRANS-9 would be required to reduce impacts to a less than significant level. Table 25 lists the 2017 EIR’s mitigation measures related to transportation. Pursuant to Public Resource Code, Section 21099 (b)(2), traffic congestion, while potentially an inconvenience to drivers, is not itself an environmental impact. Therefore, issues related solely to traffic congestion are outside the scope of CEQA analysis. Table 25 2017 EIR Mitigation Measures: Transportation and Traffic Mitigation Measure # Mitigation Measure Text Impact TRANS-1: Implementation of the project would cause an intersection to drop below its motor vehicle level of service standard, or deteriorate operations at representative intersections that already operate at a substandard level of service. (Significant and Unavoidable) TRANS-1a Adopt a programmatic approach to reducing traffic with the goal of achieving no net increase in peak period motor vehicle trips from new development, with an exception for uses that directly contribute to the neighborhood character and diversity of Palo Alto (such as ground floor retail and below market rate housing). The program should, at a minimum:  Require new development projects to prepare and implement a Transportation Demand Management (TDM) Plan to achieve the following reduction in peak period motor vehicle trips from the rates included in the Institute of Transportation Engineers’ Trip Generation Manual for the appropriate land use category. These reductions are deemed aggressive, yet feasible, for the districts indicated.  45 percent reduction in the Downtown district  35 percent reduction in the California Avenue area  30 percent reduction in the Stanford Research Park  30 percent reduction in the El Camino Real Corridor  20 percent reduction in other areas of the city. TDM Plans must be approved by the City and monitored by the property owner on an annual basis. The Plans must contain enforcement mechanisms or penalties that accrue if targets are not met.  Require new development projects to pay a Transportation Impact Fee which will be partially used to reduce peak period motor vehicle trips citywide.

Source: City of Palo Alto 2016 REGULATORY SETTING SENATE BILL 743 AND VEHICLE MILES TRAVELED Senate Bill (SB) 743 was signed into law by Governor Brown in 2013 and directed the State Office of Planning and Research (OPR) to establish new criteria for determining the significance of transportation impacts under the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA). SB 743 requires the new criteria to “promote the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions, the development of multimodal transportation networks, and a diversity of land uses.” It also states that alternative measures of transportation impacts may include “vehicle miles traveled, vehicle miles traveled per capita, automobile trip generation rates, or automobile trips generated.” In January 2018, OPR transmitted its proposed CEQA Guidelines implementing SB 743 to the California Natural Resources Agency for adoption, and in January 2019 the Natural Resources Item 9 Attachment E - Addendum to the Comprehensive Plan EIR (November 2023)        Item 9: Staff Report Pg. 238  Packet Pg. 305 of 511  IMPACT ANALYSIS TRANSPORTATION 1 3 6 | P a g e Addendum to the 2030 Comprehensive Plan EIR Agency finalized SB 743 updates to the CEQA Guidelines. SB 743 changed the way that public agencies evaluate the transportation impacts of projects under CEQA, recognizing that roadway congestion, while an inconvenience to drivers, is not itself an environmental impact (Public Resource Code, § 21099 (b)(2)). In addition to new exemptions for projects consistent with specific plans, the CEQA Guidelines replaced congestion-based metrics, such as auto delay and level of service (LOS), with VMT as the basis for determining significant impacts, unless the Guidelines provide specific exceptions. The 2017 EIR examined program-level transportation impacts using the level of service (LOS) methodology and found that all such impacts would be significant and unavoidable. Although the 2017 EIR analyzes VMT, VMT was not the basis for a standard of significance used and no impact finding regarding VMT was made. Nonetheless, Scenario 6 was found to result in the lowest VMT per capita (including employment and residential VMT) of 30.8 compared to other scenarios. This can be attributed to a more balanced jobs-housing ratio where job growth is more proportional to residential growth; placing more residents in proximity to alternative modes of transportation and promoting bicycling and walking; and implementing the Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) on El Camino Real with queue-jumping lanes and signal prioritization at intersections. PROJECT-SPECIFIC IMPACTS This analysis is based upon the VMT Analysis prepared for the HEU by Hexagon Transportation Consultants, Inc. (Hexagon) in January 2023 (Appendix A). IMPACT ANALYSIS a. Would the project conflict with a program, plan, ordinance or policy addressing the circulation system, including transit, roadway, bicycle and pedestrian facilities? The 2017 EIR used level of service (LOS) as its performance criteria while analyzing the city’s roadway system. However, to implement SB 743, the CEQA Guidelines have been updated to change the criteria for determining what constitutes a significant traffic related environmental impact to rely upon quantification of VMT instead of LOS. The proposed HEU would be consistent with the Transportation Element of the 2030 Comprehensive Plan since it would place housing near transit, services, and jobs, which would reduce the usage of single- occupancy vehicles and encourage walking, bicycling, and using alternative modes of transportation. Bicycling would be encouraged through the Bicycle and Pedestrian Transportation Plan which aims to improve bicycling and pedestrian conditions and increase bicycling and walking rates within Palo Alto (City of Palo Alto 2012). Future residents would be able to benefit from goals, policies, and improvements associated with the Bicycle and Pedestrian Transportation Plan which would reduce VMT and reliance on single-occupancy vehicles. Future development proposals for individual projects would be subject to adopted development guidelines, including standards that govern VMT, transportation, GHG, and Item 9 Attachment E - Addendum to the Comprehensive Plan EIR (November 2023)        Item 9: Staff Report Pg. 239  Packet Pg. 306 of 511  CITY OF PALO ALTO 2023-2031 HOUSING ELEMENT CITY OF PALO ALTO P a g e | 1 3 7 associated issues. Impacts identified for development facilitated by the plan would be addressed through the project approval process, including Planning and Transportation Commission (PTC) review as well as design review specific to potential impacts of that project. Because the proposed HEU does not include modifications to the existing transportation network and individual future developments must be designed consistent with applicable bicycle and pedestrian facility requirements, the proposed HEU would not conflict with the City’s existing circulation, bicycle, or pedestrian plans. Impacts to transit, roadway, bicycle, and pedestrian facilities would be less than significant, and would be generally the same as the impact analyzed in the 2017 EIR for the 2030 Comprehensive Plan. Because there would be no new or substantially more severe significant impacts than what was analyzed in the 2017 EIR, further analysis is not warranted. b. Would the project conflict or be inconsistent with CEQA Guidelines section 15064.3, subdivision (b)? CEQA Guidelines Section 15064.3(b) requires specific consideration of a plan or project’s transportation impacts based on VMT. This implements SB 743, which eliminates level of service as a basis for determining significant transportation impacts under CEQA and requires a different performance metric: VMT. With this change, the State shifted the focus from measuring a plan or project’s impact upon drivers (LOS) to measuring the impact of driving (VMT) on achieving its goals of reducing GHG emissions, encouraging infill development, and improving public health through active transportation. Hexagon Transportation Consultants, Inc. prepared a VMT Analysis (Appendix A) for the proposed HEU to determine whether it would generate a significant VMT impact. The City adopted a VMT threshold for residential projects on June 15, 2020. A residential project that exceeds a level of 15 percent below existing (baseline) County home-based VMT per resident may indicate a significant transportation impact. The City of Palo Alto Travel Forecasting Model (PA model) was used to estimate VMT for the proposed project. According to the PA model, the countywide average VMT per resident for residential development is 12.90 miles. Based on the Palo Alto VMT Criteria, a project generating a VMT that is 15 percent or more below this value, or 10.97 daily vehicle miles per resident, would have a less-than-significant VMT impact. Based on the results of the PA model, as shown in Table 26, the project would have a projected VMT rate of 9.25 miles per resident, lower than the significance threshold of 10.97 miles, since the proposed project would concentrate new residential units in urbanized areas in proximity to transit, jobs, and services compared to other parts of the County. Therefore, this impact would be less than significant, and further analysis is not warranted.

Would the project substantially increase hazards due to a geometric design feature (e.g., sharp curves or dangerous intersections) or incompatible use (e.g., farm equipment)? In the absence of specific project applications to review, analyzing impacts based on project design features would be wholly speculative. CEQA does not require public agencies to speculate. Adoption of the proposed HEU analyzes the amount of new housing units the City will accommodate during the 2023-2031 planning period and sets goals and policies for how this housing is implemented. It does not grant entitlements for any specific project or future development. Thus, the plan for new housing and the goals and policies needed to achieve that housing do not have a specific transportation safety impact or hazard. The proposed project would not include hazardous geometric design features or incompatible uses. Each housing application would be evaluated at the project specific level and undergo design review which would ensure design features would be in accordance with all applicable City standards to minimize design hazards. Furthermore, future projects facilitated would be infill projects or would include increasing density and height of existing sites, and therefore would not involve the creation of new roadways or intersections or incompatible uses within Palo Alto. While new intersections of existing local streets with proposed new streets internal to these sites may be created if these sites would be developed, they would be subject to the project-level review processes described above to ensure hazards from design features or incompatible uses are not created. Therefore, impacts from hazardous design features or incompatible uses would be less than significant and would be generally the same as the impact analyzed in the 2017 EIR for the 2030 Comprehensive Plan as analyzed in the 2017 EIR. Because there would be no new or substantially more severe significant impacts than what was analyzed in the 2017 EIR, further analysis is not warranted. d. Would the project result in inadequate emergency access? Similar to Scenario 6 as discussed in the 2017 EIR, traffic increases would contribute to congestion on freeway segments, which could contribute to cumulative traffic conditions that have the potential to impede emergency vehicle access on US 101. However, isolated instances of emergency vehicles being impeded vary on a case-by-case basis and more information would be needed to determine the precise problem causing a particular event. It would be speculative to try to determine how future traffic associated with development in Palo Alto would cumulatively contribute to such events. In addition, approximately 15 percent of the traffic signals maintained by the City of Palo Alto are equipped with emergency vehicle preemption devices. The city will continue to install traffic signal preemption devices where appropriate. Emergency vehicles have the right to use lights and sirens to allow them to bypass congestion, and all other vehicles are required by State law to pull over to allow emergency vehicles to pass. Additionally, future development would be required to comply with comply with basic building designs and standards for residential buildings as mandated by the Palo Alto Fire Code pursuant to PAMC Chapter 15.04. Future projects would be required to incorporate all applicable design and safety requirements as set forth in the most current adopted building codes and fire and life safety standards. Additionally, as discussed under Section 9, Hazards and Hazardous Materials, the proposed HEU would not impair implementation of or physically Item 9 Attachment E - Addendum to the Comprehensive Plan EIR (November 2023)        Item 9: Staff Report Pg. 241  Packet Pg. 308 of 511  CITY OF PALO ALTO 2023-2031 HOUSING ELEMENT CITY OF PALO ALTO P a g e | 1 3 9 interfere with an adopted emergency response plan or emergency evacuation plan. Therefore, impacts would be less than significant and would be generally the same as the impact analyzed in the 2017 EIR for the 2030 Comprehensive Plan as analyzed in the 2017 EIR. Because there would be no new or substantially more severe significant impacts than what was analyzed in the 2017 EIR, further analysis is not warranted. CONCLUSION Although the proposed HEU would facilitate the development of 919 more residential units than analyzed under the 2017 EIR, future development would not conflict with a program, plan, ordinance or policy addressing the circulation system; result in a significant VMT impact; substantially increase hazards due to a geometric design feature or incompatible use; or result in inadequate emergency access. Therefore, the project would not result in new significant effects not addressed in the prior EIR, and no new mitigation measures are warranted. This issue does not require further study in an EIR.

AB 52 expanded CEQA by defining a new resource category, “tribal cultural resources,” and requires lead agencies to complete consultation with California Native American Tribes regarding proposed projects, because it became effective after the issuance of the Notice of Preparation for 2017 EIR. However, as described in Section 5, Cultural Resources, of this Addendum, the 2017 EIR incorporated required mitigation measures CULT-1 and CULT-3 for procedures in the event archaeological resources, tribal resources, and human remains are discovered during construction. ASSEMBLY BILL 52 OF 2014 AB 52 establishes that “A project with an effect that may cause a substantial adverse change in the significance of a tribal cultural resource is a project that may have a significant effect on the environment” (PRC Section 21084.2). It further states that the lead agency shall establish measures to avoid impacts that would alter the significant characteristics of a tribal cultural resource, when feasible (PRC Section 21084.3). PRC Section 21074 (a)(1)(A) and (B) defines tribal cultural resources as “sites, features, places, cultural landscapes, sacred places, and objects with cultural value to a California Native American tribe” and are: Item 9 Attachment E - Addendum to the Comprehensive Plan EIR (November 2023)        Item 9: Staff Report Pg. 244  Packet Pg. 311 of 511  IMPACT ANALYSIS TRIBAL CULTURAL RESOURCES 1 4 2 | P a g e Addendum to the 2030 Comprehensive Plan EIR 1.

A resource determined by the lead agency, in its discretion and supported by substantial evidence, to be significant pursuant to criteria set forth in subdivision (c) of Public Resources Code Section 5024.1. In applying these criteria, the lead agency shall consider the significance of the resource to a California Native American tribe. AB 52 also establishes a formal consultation process for California tribes regarding those resources. The consultation process must be completed before a CEQA document can be certified. Under AB 52, lead agencies are required to “begin consultation with a California Native American tribe that is traditionally and culturally affiliated with the geographic area of the proposed project.” Native American tribes to be included in the process are those that have requested notice of projects proposed within the jurisdiction of the lead agency. The requirements of AB 52 do not apply to the proposed project because it falls under a previously certified EIR. Nonetheless, the City of Palo Alto conducted tribal consultation in accordance with AB 52 as well as in accordance with Senate Bill 18. The City sent out letters via certified mail on September 29, 2022, to the following eight Native American Tribes that that were identified by the NAHC as being traditionally and culturally affiliated with the geographic area:  Amah Mutsun Tribal Band  Amah Mutsun Tribal Band of Mission San Juan Bautista  Indian Canyon Mutsun Band of Costanoan  Muwekma Ohlone Indian Tribe of the SF Bay Area  Northern Valley Yokuts Tribe  The Ohlone Indian Tribe  Wuksache Indian Tribe/Eshom Valley Band  Tamien Nation Under AB 52, Native American tribes typically have 30 days to respond and request further project information and formal consultation. Under SB 18, Native American tribes have 90 days to respond and request further project information and request formal consultation. To date, the City of Palo Alto has not received responses requesting consultation under AB 52 or SB 18 from the Tribes. AB 52 and SB 18 correspondence is included in Appendix C.

Would the project cause a substantial adverse change in the significance of a tribal cultural resource as defined in Public Resources Code Section 21074 that is listed or eligible for listing in the California Register of Historical Resources, or in a local register of historical resources as defined in Public Resources Code Section 5020.1(k)? b. Would the project cause a substantial adverse change in the significance of a tribal cultural resource as defined in Public Resources Code 21074 that is a resource determined by the lead agency, in its discretion and supported by substantial evidence, to be significant pursuant to criteria set forth in subdivision (c) of Public Resources Code Section 5024.1? No specific tribal cultural resources were identified in the City of Palo Alto as a result of consultation with the Tribes. Similar to what was assumed in the 2017 EIR, although development under the proposed HEU would occur on non-vacant and underutilized sites in previously disturbed areas, ground-disturbing activities such as earthmoving and excavation could still potentially damage and/or destroy unrecorded tribal cultural resources in subsurface soils within the housing sites. Adherence to the requirements of AB 52 would require Tribal consultation with local California Native American Tribes prior to implementation of project activities subject to CEQA. AB 168 would require Tribal consultation with local California Native American Tribes prior to implementation of project activities subject to SB 35. In compliance with AB 52, a determination of whether project-specific substantial adverse effects on tribal cultural resources would occur along with identification of appropriate project-specific avoidance, minimization, or mitigation measures would be required. Due to the programmatic nature of the proposed HEU it is not possible to fully determine impacts of specific projects on specific sites; however, no tribal cultural resources were identified during consultation. Future projects subject to CEQA and SB 35 would require project-specific tribal cultural resource identification and consultation, and the appropriate avoidance, minimization, or mitigation would be incorporated. Project-specific tribal cultural resource consultation will occur when specific projects are implemented, and consultation conducted pursuant to the requirements of AB 52. Future development would also be required to comply with policies L-7.16 through 7.18 of the 2030 Comprehensive Plan, adopted in compliance with Mitigation Measure CULT-3 of the 2017 EIR, which would reduce impacts on tribal cultural resources to a less than significant level. Because there would be no new or substantially more severe significant impacts than what was analyzed in the 2017 EIR, further analysis is not warranted. CONCLUSION Although the proposed HEU would facilitate the development of 919 more residential units than analyzed under the 2017 EIR, development would occur in the same areas as those analyzed in the 2017 EIR. Further, future development would be required to comply with federal, State, and local regulations pertaining to tribal cultural resources as well as policies adopted in compliance with Mitigation Measure CULT-3 from the 2017 EIR, which would reduce impacts to a less than significant level. Therefore, the project would not result in new significant effects not addressed in the prior EIR, and no new mitigation measures are warranted. This issue does not require further study in an EIR.

The 2017 EIR found that sufficient water supplies from existing entitlements would be available to serve Scenario 6 and the increased demand in water would not result in the substantial physical deterioration of a water utility facility. Additionally, the 2030 Comprehensive Plan would not prompt a need to expand treatment facilities or regional water system conveyance and storage facilities in order to meet its demand. New or expanded local water distribution facilities would require permitting and review in accordance with CEQA, which would ensure environmental impacts are disclosed and mitigated. Therefore, impacts would be less than significant. The 2017 EIR determined that the 2030 Comprehensive Plan would not exceed wastewater treatment requirements of the RWQCB or wastewater treatment capacity of the Regional Water Quality Control Plant (RWQCP). Furthermore, the 2030 Comprehensive Plan would not result in substantial physical deterioration of the RWQCP or adverse physical impacts from new or expanded wastewater utility facilities since the existing RWQCP would provide adequate capacity to meet dry weather and maximum month flows through at least 2035 and beyond. Therefore, impacts would be less than significant. The 2017 EIR found that the 2030 Comprehensive Plan would not require or result in the construction of new stormwater facilities or expansion of existing facilities since development would be required to comply with Provision C.3 of the MRP, as well as the City’s post- construction site design measures, source control measures, and stormwater treatment measures. The 2030 Comprehensive Plan would not result in a substantial physical deterioration of stormwater facilities with compliance with existing State, regional, and local regulations. Therefore, impacts would be less than significant. The 2017 EIR determined that the 2030 Comprehensive Plan would be served by 17 different landfills with sufficient permitted capacity to accommodate the increased waste disposal needs. However, the 2017 EIR found that the 2030 Comprehensive Plan could potentially fall out of compliance with federal, State, and local statutes and regulations related to solid waste, and mitigation measure UTIL-15 would be required to reduce impacts to a less than significant level. The 2017 EIR also analyzes impacts to energy supply and efficiency which is discussed in Section 6, Energy, of this document. Table 27 lists the mitigation measures from the 2017 EIR related to utilities and service systems.

Source: City of Palo Alto 2016 PROJECT-SPECIFIC IMPACTS a. Would the project require or result in the relocation or construction of new or expanded water, wastewater treatment or storm water drainage, electric power, natural gas, or telecommunications facilities, the construction or relocation of which could cause significant environmental effects? WATER As discussed under Threshold Question (b) below, water supply and demand for the proposed HEU would be similar to that of Scenario 6 of the 2017 EIR. The City receives 100 percent of its potable water from the SFPUC. The City does not own or operate a water treatment plant (WTP). The water purchased from the SFPUC may be treated at one or more WTPs operated by SFPUC. SFPUC treats water to meet all applicable drinking water standards. SFPUC periodically makes improvements to its WTPs in order to improve system reliability and accommodate projected growth in its regional service areas. For example, the Water System Improvement Program (WSIP) includes capacity expansion and other improvements in order to upgrade SFPUC’s regional and local water systems. The WSIP also includes many projects to improve the Regional Water System distribution lines and storage reservoirs (City of Palo Alto 2017a). Although existing local distribution lines within the city could potentially be undersized for future projects and improvements under the proposed HEU could require replacement with larger diameter pipes, potential environmental impacts that could result from pipeline improvements would be project specific. New or expanded local water distribution facilities would require permitting and review in accordance with CEQA, which would ensure environmental impacts are disclosed and addressed in the environmental analysis. Therefore, similar to Scenario 6, the proposed HEU would not result in the expansion or construction of new treatment facilities or regional water system conveyance and storage facilities in order to meet its demand and this impact would be less than significant, generally the same as the impact analyzed in the 2017 EIR for the 2030 Comprehensive Plan. Because there would be no new or substantially more severe significant impacts than what was analyzed in the 2017 EIR, further analysis is not warranted.

Some aging facilities will need to be replaced, based on the treatment processes design criteria and historical performance. However, these facility upgrades and replacements are anticipated based on existing planning documents and would not be necessitated as a result of the proposed HEU. In addition, the LRFP anticipates that the existing RWQCP facilities will provide adequate capacity to meet dry weather and maximum month flows through at least 2035, assuming the same level of treatment is required. Therefore, similar to Scenario 6, the proposed HEU would not result in the expansion or construction of new wastewater facilities and this impact would be less than significant, generally the same as the impact analyzed in the 2017 EIR for the 2030 Comprehensive Plan. Because there would be no new or substantially more severe significant impacts than what was analyzed in the 2017 EIR, further analysis is not warranted. STORMWATER Although the proposed HEU would increase the number of residential units by 919 compared to Scenario 6 of the 2017 EIR, new future development would be required to comply with the C.3 provisions of the MRP and implement BMPs and LID features to minimize stormwater runoff impacts. In particular, during construction, future projects would be required to implement flow control BMPs to minimize potential impacts. Similar to Scenario 6, the proposed HEU does not propose the conversion of open space areas, creeks, or wetlands to impervious surfaces and would not alter the course of a stream or river. The City’s Department of Public Works requires all new development projects to provide storm drain flow and detention calculations, including pre-project and post-project conditions and flow rates. On-site stormwater detention is also required as per the C.3 provisions of the MRP. In addition, per section C.3.j, future applicants would be required to complete and implement a Green Infrastructure Plan for the inclusion of low impact development drainage design into storm drain infrastructure on public and private lands, including streets, roads, storm drains, parking lots, building roofs, and other storm drain infrastructure elements (City of Palo Alto 2017a). Compliance with State and local stormwater regulations would reduce impacts to a less than significant level, generally the same as the impact analyzed in the 2017 EIR for the 2030 Comprehensive Plan. Because there would be no new or substantially more severe significant impacts than what was analyzed in the 2017 EIR, further analysis is not warranted. TELECOMMUNICATIONS The proposed HEU would require connections to existing adjacent utility infrastructure to meet the needs of future residents. Similar to Scenario 6 of the 2017 EIR, the proposed HEU would only facilitate development on non-vacant and underutilized sites in urbanized areas. Based on the availability of existing telecommunications infrastructure, construction of new telephone and cable lines would not be required, and all future development would be able to connect to Item 9 Attachment E - Addendum to the Comprehensive Plan EIR (November 2023)        Item 9: Staff Report Pg. 251  Packet Pg. 318 of 511  CITY OF PALO ALTO 2023-2031 HOUSING ELEMENT CITY OF PALO ALTO P a g e | 1 4 9 existing infrastructure. Development facilitated by the project would be required to adhere to applicable laws and regulations related to the connection to existing telecommunication infrastructure. Therefore, there would be adequate telecommunications facilities to serve the development facilitated by the project, and impacts would be less than significant, generally the same as the impact analyzed in the 2017 EIR for the 2030 Comprehensive Plan. Because there would be no new or substantially more severe significant impacts than what was analyzed in the 2017 EIR, further analysis is not warranted. ELECTRICITY AND NATURAL GAS As discussed in the 2017 EIR, Scenario 6 would result in a long-term increase in electrical service energy demand ranging from 10 percent to 11 percent over 2014 baseline levels within the CPAU’s service territory for electrical service. This average incremental increase in electrical service demand would be less than a one percent increase per year. Although the proposed HEU would increase the number of residential units by 919 compared to Scenario 6 of the 2017 EIR, it would not include non-residential uses and therefore electricity demand would be similar to that of Scenario 6 and would result in less than a one percent increase per year. Since the proposed HEU would also facilitate development in non-vacant and underutilized sites with existing infrastructure, it is not anticipated that the construction of new electrical transmission and distribution lines would be required. Therefore, the proposed HEU would not result in the relocation or construction of new or expanded electrical facilities and impacts would be less than significant, generally the same as the impact analyzed in the 2017 EIR for the 2030 Comprehensive Plan. Because there would be no new or substantially more severe significant impacts than what was analyzed in the 2017 EIR, further analysis is not warranted. Similarly, for the same reasons described above, the proposed HEU would not substantially increase natural gas demand compared to Scenario 6 and future development would also be subject to the City’s most updated Reach Code and All-Electric Mandate which requires all- electric building design for single-family, low-rise multi-family, and non-residential development (City of Palo Alto 2022a). Therefore, the proposed HEU would not result in the relocation or construction of new or expanded natural gas facilities and impacts would be less than significant, generally the same as the impact analyzed in the 2017 EIR for the 2030 Comprehensive Plan. Because there would be no new or substantially more severe significant impacts than what was analyzed in the 2017 EIR, further analysis is not warranted. b. Would the project have sufficient water supplies available to serve the project and reasonably foreseeable future development during normal, dry and multiple dry years? As discussed in the 2017 EIR, the increased water demand for Scenario 6 would be approximately 11,132 acre-feet per year (AFY) by 2030, and the city’s Individual Supply Guarantee would be 19,118 AFY by 2030. As shown on Table 28, the additional 919 units facilitated by the proposed HEU compared to the 2017 EIR would increase water demand by approximately 59,735 gallons per day (gpd) or 70.0 acre-feet per year (AFY) in 2031 assuming full buildout. According to the city’s 2020 Urban Water Management Plan (UWMP), by 2030, the city would have a water demand of 11,394 AFY and an Individual Supply Guarantee of 18,579 AFY. Therefore, the proposed project would increase Palo Alto’s estimated 2030 normal- Item 9 Attachment E - Addendum to the Comprehensive Plan EIR (November 2023)        Item 9: Staff Report Pg. 252  Packet Pg. 319 of 511  IMPACT ANALYSIS UTILITIES AND SERVICE SYSTEMS 1 5 0 | P a g e Addendum to the 2030 Comprehensive Plan EIR year water demand by approximately 0.6 percent, which would not exceed the City’s individual supply guarantee, even with the adjustment to the supply guarantee as outlined in the UWMP, and there would be sufficient water supply to accommodate the proposed project. Table 28 Estimated Water Use for the Proposed HEU Potential Buildout Development/Land Use Water Generation Factor (gpd/unit) 1 Projected Number of Housing Units Projected Water Demand in 2031 (gpd) Projected Water Demand in 2031 (AFY) Multi-family residential 65 919 59,735 70.0 1 Per unit water demand factors from Palo Alto are not available, therefore, this analysis is based water use factors provided by the East Bay Municipal Utilities District, 65 gpd/unit for a low-rise apartment. gpd =gallons per day. AFY = acre-feet per year According to the city’s 2020 UWMP, the City of Palo Alto analyzed three different hydrological conditions to determine the reliability of water supplies for the City: average/normal water year, single dry water year, and multiple dry water year period. In each of the three hydrological conditions, the projected water demand was calculated taking into account growth in billing data, water conservation efforts, and demographics. The UWMP states that the City of Palo Alto can reliably meet the projected water demand in normal years. However, there would be a potable water supply shortfall for single dry year and multiple dry years. Under these conditions, residents would be required to reduce water usage by 30 to 50 percent depending on the length of the dry year. The San Francisco Public Utilities Commission (SFPUC) and Bay Area Water Supply and Conservation Agency (BAWSCA) are also evaluating alternative water supplies during and seeking water supplies and solutions for drought years. In addition, the City of Palo Alto has formed partnerships such as the one with Valley Water and is embarking on a One Water plan which will have dry year water supply reliability as a central tenet (City of Palo Alto 2021). The City of Palo Alto also offers many resources to help residents use water wisely, including free water surveys, conservation devices, educational programs, and rebates for appliance or landscape upgrades (City of Palo Alto 2017a). The City presents drought updates to the Utilities Advisory Commission monthly and has held numerous public meetings to update the community on the drought, responses by the State and the City, and available resources. Therefore, sufficient water supplies would be available to serve the proposed HEU during normal, single- and multiple-dry years, and impacts would be less than significant, generally the same as the impact analyzed in the 2017 EIR for the 2030 Comprehensive Plan. Because there would be no new or substantially more severe significant impacts than what was analyzed in the 2017 EIR, further analysis is not warranted. c. Would the project result in a determination by the wastewater treatment provider which serves or may serve the project that it has adequate capacity to serve the project’s projected demand in addition to the provider’s existing commitments? As discussed in the 2017 EIR, Scenario 6 would increase wastewater generation by 631,032 gallons per day (GPD) and this estimated worst-case increase in water flow would represent less than four percent of the existing excess dry flow capacity of 18 million gallons per day (MGD) available at the RWQCP. The Long Range Facilities Plan (LRFP) also further estimates that Item 9 Attachment E - Addendum to the Comprehensive Plan EIR (November 2023)        Item 9: Staff Report Pg. 253  Packet Pg. 320 of 511  CITY OF PALO ALTO 2023-2031 HOUSING ELEMENT CITY OF PALO ALTO P a g e | 1 5 1 the RWQCP would have at least 5 MGD of excess capacity in 2062. Assuming that wastewater generation is 80 percent of water use, the proposed HEU would increase wastewater generation by approximately 47,788 gpd.13 This would constitute approximately 0.3 percent of the RWQCP’s excess dry flow capacity and therefore the RWQCP would have sufficient capacity to accommodate the 919 additional units proposed under the HEU. Although some aging facilities will need to be replaced, based on the treatment processes design criteria and historical performance, the LRFP anticipates that the existing RWQCP facilities would l provide adequate capacity to meet dry weather and maximum month flows through at least 2035, assuming the same level of treatment is required. Projected dry weather flows are anticipated to be between 28 and 34 MGD in the year 2062, which is below the dry weather flow design capacity of the plant (39 MGD). Therefore, the RWQCP’s existing capacity would be sufficient to accommodate the anticipated residential development under the proposed HEU. Development facilitated by the proposed project would not result in the need to expand the capacity of the RWQCP. This impact would be less than significant and generally the same as the impact analyzed in the 2017 EIR for the 2030 Comprehensive Plan. Because there would be no new or substantially more severe significant impacts than what was analyzed in the 2017 EIR, further analysis is not warranted. d. Would the project generate solid waste in excess of State or local standards, or in excess of the capacity of local infrastructure, or otherwise impair the attainment of solid waste reduction goals? e. Would the project comply with federal, state, and local management and reduction statutes and regulations related to solid waste? As discussed in the 2017 EIR, Scenario 6 would generate an approximate increase of 15,315 tons per year of solid waste over baseline at buildout. Additionally, the city’s disposal rate per resident in 2014 was 3.6 pounds per day (PPD), which was below the CalRecycle target of 7.1 PPD per resident. The city’s disposal rates for both residents and employees have been below target rates since 2007 (City of Palo Alto 2017a). CalRecycle estimates that multi-family residential uses generate an average of four pounds of solid waste per unit per day (CalRecycle 2023). As shown in Table 29, prior to implementation of State-mandated diversion requirements, development associated with the proposed HEU would generate an estimated 3,676 pounds per day of solid waste, which equates to 1.8 tons or 16.3 cubic yards per day. In accordance with California’s Integrated Waste Management Act of 1989 (AB 939), cities and counties are required to divert 50 percent of all solid wastes from landfills. Additionally, pursuant to AB 341 adopted in 2012, all businesses that generate four cubic yards or more of commercial solid waste per week including multi-family dwelling that consists of five units or more would be required to divert 75 percent of all solid wastes. The City of Palo Alto has achieved a diversion rate of 82 percent, which substantially exceeds AB 939 State requirement (City of Palo Alto 2018). Assuming that this diversion rate continues to apply 13 59,735 gpd times 0.8 = 47,788 gpd Item 9 Attachment E - Addendum to the Comprehensive Plan EIR (November 2023)        Item 9: Staff Report Pg. 254  Packet Pg. 321 of 511  IMPACT ANALYSIS UTILITIES AND SERVICE SYSTEMS 1 5 2 | P a g e Addendum to the 2030 Comprehensive Plan EIR to new development on the project sites, implementation of the project would generate approximately 0.3 tons or 2.9 cubic yards per day of solid waste for disposal at landfills. Table 29 Estimated Solid Waste Generation Potential Buildout Development/ Land Use Quantity Units Generation Rate1 Solid Waste (pounds per day) Solid Waste (tons per day) Solid Waste (cubic yards per day)2 Residential 919 dwelling units 4 pounds/unit/day 3,676 1.8 16.3 Total Assuming 82% Diversion Rate 662 0.3 2.9 1 CalRecycle 2023 2 RecycleMania/USEPA 2022, assumes 225 pounds per cubic yard of residential waste In 2019, CalRecycle reported that the overall total of 47,023 tons of solid waste from Palo Alto was disposed at 17 different landfills. The majority (42,252 tons) were disposed at three landfills: Kirby Canyon Landfill, Corinda Los Trancos Landfill (Ox Mountain), and Monterey Peninsula Landfill (CalRecycle 2022). The Kirby Canyon Landfill has a closure year of 2059 and a remaining capacity of 16,191,600 cubic yards (CalRecycle 2022b); the Ox Mountain Landfill has a closure year of 2034 and a remaining capacity of 22,180,000 cy (CalRecycle 2022c); and the Monterey Peninsula Landfill has a closure year of 2107 and a remaining capacity of 48,560,000 cy (CalRecycle 2022d). With development facilitated by the proposed HEU, it is estimated that the 919 units would generate approximately 2.9 cubic yards of solid waste per day, or 1,059 cubic yards of solid waste per year for disposal at landfills. This represents 0.007 percent of the current total remaining landfill capacity at the Kirby Canyon Landfill. The projected closure years and remaining capacities of these three main landfills currently accepting solid waste from the city would be able to accommodate the projected increase in solid waste under Scenario 6 and the proposed HEU. There are also 14 more landfills that received waste from Palo Alto in 2019. If one or more of these landfills were unavailable in the future, it is likely Palo Alto’s solid waste volume could be increased at one or more of the other landfills that already serve Palo Alto. Moreover, the city has ongoing and planned measures to divert increasing amounts of Palo Alto’s solid waste away from landfills. Future development would be required to comply with PAMC Section 16.14.260 which requires an 80 percent diversion of construction and demolition debris, and preparation of a Waste Management Plan for on-site sorting of construction debris, which is submitted to the City for approval, in order to ensure that the covered project meets the diversion requirement for reused or recycled construction and demolition debris. Development facilitated by the proposed HEU would also be required to comply with applicable federal, State, and local statutes and regulations related to solid waste such as AB 939, which requires the City to divert 50 percent of solid waste from landfills, as well as SB 1838, which would require mandatory organic waste recycling for future residents. Furthermore, future development would be required to comply with policies S-3.8, 3.9, and 3.11 of the 2030 Comprehensive EIR, adopted in compliance with Mitigation Measure UTIL-15 of the 2017 EIR, which would ensure waste diversion and increased recycling. Therefore, the existing landfills would be able to accommodate development under the proposed HEU, and the proposed HEU would comply with federal, State, and local regulations related to solid Item 9 Attachment E - Addendum to the Comprehensive Plan EIR (November 2023)        Item 9: Staff Report Pg. 255  Packet Pg. 322 of 511  CITY OF PALO ALTO 2023-2031 HOUSING ELEMENT CITY OF PALO ALTO P a g e | 1 5 3 wastes. Impacts would be less than significant with mitigation and generally the same as the impact analyzed in the 2017 EIR for the 2030 Comprehensive Plan. Because there would be no new or substantially more severe significant impacts than what was analyzed in the 2017 EIR, further analysis is not warranted. CONCLUSION Although the proposed HEU would facilitate the development of 919 more residential units than analyzed under the 2017 EIR, future development would not result in the construction or expansion of utilities facilities, and existing infrastructure would be sufficient to accommodate the increased residential units. Therefore, the project would not result in new significant effects not addressed in the prior EIR, and no new mitigation measures are warranted. This issue does not require further study in an EIR.

As discussed in the 2017 EIR, much of the area surrounding Palo Alto west of I-280 is considered to have a moderate and high risk of wildland fire, whereas all of the urbanized areas of Palo Alto do not have any wildland fire hazards. The 2017 EIR found that there would be less than significant impacts related to wildfire.

If located in or near state responsibility areas or lands classified as very high fire hazard severity zones, would the project expose people or structures to significant risks, including downslopes or downstream flooding or landslides, as a result of runoff, post-fire slope instability, or drainage changes? As shown in the CAL FIRE Fire Hazard Severity Zone Map, only the area west of I-280 is located in a High Fire Hazard Severity Zone (HFHSZ) while the rest of the city east of I-280 is located in an area with low wildfire risk. Similar to what was analyzed in the 2017 EIR, the proposed HEU would facilitate development in non-vacant and underutilized sites in urbanized areas of the city east of I-280, and would not facilitate development in locations near the HFHSZ. New development would also be located in proximity to Fire Stations 1, 2, 3, and 4 which would protect future residents from wildfire hazards. Additionally, future development would be required to comply with the CAL FIRE Strategic Plan and the CFC pursuant to PAMC Chapter 15.04. The CFC requires the clearance of debris and vegetation within a prescribed distance from structures in wildlife hazard areas. The proposed HEU would facilitate residential development primarily on infill sites in urbanized areas, and would not require the construction of additional roads, power lines, or other utilities that would exacerbate existing fire risk. Housing sites that require utility connections would likely install underground connections, and development within underground utility districts would be required to install new utility connections underground. Therefore, the project would not impair an adopted emergency response or evacuation plan related to wildfire; exacerbate wildfire risks; or expose people to post-fire risks related to runoff, flooding, or landslides. Impacts would be less than significant and generally the same as the impact analyzed in the 2017 EIR for the 2030 Comprehensive Plan. Because there would be no new or substantially more severe significant impacts than what was analyzed in the 2017 EIR, further analysis is not warranted.

Cumulative impacts are the combined changes in the environment that result from the incremental impact of development of the proposed project and other nearby projects. For example, noise impacts of two nearby projects may be less than significant when analyzed separately but could have a significant impact when analyzed together. Cumulative impact analysis provides a reasonable forecast of future environmental conditions and can more accurately gauge the effects of a series of projects. This analysis is cumulative in nature in that it analyzes future development under the proposed HEU throughout Palo Alto and takes into consideration the effects associated with development of multiple projects in the housing element cycle through 2031. For analyses that may have more localized or neighborhood implications (aesthetics, agriculture, biological resources, cultural resources, geology and soils, hazards and hazardous materials, hydrology and water quality, land use and planning, mineral resources, noise, public services, recreation, utilities, tribal cultural resources, wildfire), the geographic scope for cumulative impacts includes the city of Palo Alto. For these issue areas, generally, impacts are site specific and cumulative impacts would not be significant. Therefore, the proposed project would not result in a cumulatively considerable contribution to the above-mentioned issue areas. Future development projects would be reviewed by the City pursuant to CEQA to identify potential impacts to on a project-by-project basis. While there is the potential for significant cumulative impacts, it is anticipated that potential impacts associated with individual development projects would be addressed on a case-by-case basis and would be subject to the mitigation measures outlined in this Addendum, City policies, and State and local regulations regarding the protection of such resources. With compliance with the existing policies and regulations, and mitigation measures, future development would be required to avoid or mitigate impacts. Therefore, the proposed project’s incremental contribution to cumulative impacts associated with aesthetics, agriculture, biological resources, cultural resources, geology and soils, hazards and hazardous materials, hydrology and water quality, land use and planning, mineral resources, noise, public services, recreation, utilities, tribal cultural resources, and wildfire would not be cumulatively considerable, and cumulative impacts would be less than significant. Some analyses including air quality, energy, greenhouse gas emissions, transportation, and population and housing, rely on much larger geographic areas such as the Bay Area region. For issues that may have regional cumulative implications, the cumulative impact analysis is based on Plan Bay Area 2050, the Bay Area’s most recent Regional Transportation Plan/Sustainable Communities Strategy (RTP/SCS). As discussed in Section 3, Air Quality, the project would be consistent with the 2017 Clean Air Plan control measures as development facilitated by the project would comply with the latest Title 24 regulations and would increase density in urban areas in proximity to transit, allowing for greater use of alternative modes of transportation. Additionally, the increase in VMT would not exceed the projected population increase per the BAAQMD CEQA Air Quality Guidelines for Item 9 Attachment E - Addendum to the Comprehensive Plan EIR (November 2023)        Item 9: Staff Report Pg. 262  Packet Pg. 329 of 511  IMPACT ANALYSIS CUMULATIVE IMPACTS 1 6 0 | P a g e Addendum to the 2030 Comprehensive Plan EIR operational emissions from plans. Discussion of these impacts considers the cumulative nature of criteria pollutants in the region. Therefore, the project would not result in a cumulatively considerable contribution to an air quality impact. As discussed in Section 6, Energy, development facilitated by the project would not result in a wasteful, inefficient, or unnecessary consumption of energy, and operation of the new residential structures would not result in potentially significant environmental effects due to the wasteful, inefficient, or unnecessary consumption of energy. Development facilitated by the project would be consistent with the energy-related goals, policies, and actions of the Statewide plans and the City’s 2030 Comprehensive Plan; therefore, the project would not make a cumulatively considerable contribution to a significant cumulative impact with respect to consistency with renewable energy and energy efficiency plans. Projects throughout the Bay Area are required to adhere to applicable renewable energy and energy efficiency laws, programs, and policies such as California’s RPS, AB 2076, and Title 24 standards to avoid the wasteful, inefficient, or unnecessary consumption of energy. As discussed in Section 8, Greenhouse Gas Emissions, the impact of GHG emissions generated by development facilitated by the proposed HEU is inherently cumulative. GHG emissions from one project cannot, on their own, result in changes in climatic conditions; therefore, the emissions from any project must be considered in the context of their contribution to cumulative global emissions, which is the basis for determining a significant cumulative impact. This is determined through the project’s consistency with applicable GHG emission thresholds and applicable plans, policies, or regulations adopted for the purpose of reducing the emissions of GHGs. GHG emissions from development facilitated by the project would not exceed the BAAQMD interpolated 2031 plan-level threshold. In addition, development facilitated by the project would be consistent with the 2022 Scoping Plan, Plan Bay Area 2050, 2030 Comprehensive Plan, and the City’s S/CAP. Therefore, the project would not result in a significant cumulative impact related to GHG emissions. As discussed in Section 14, Population and Housing, the proposed HEU would result in an increase of 919 more housing units compared to Scenario 6 of the 2017 EIR. However, the proposed project would be consistent with State requirements for the RHNA and would further assist in addressing the existing housing crisis and meeting the housing needs of the City’s communities. Therefore, the project would not result in a cumulatively considerable contribution to a population and housing impact. As discussed in Section 17, Transportation, the proposed HEU would not result in a significant cumulative VMT impact. Therefore, the project would not result in a cumulatively considerable contribution to a transportation impact. Therefore, with continued implementation of mitigation measures from the 2017 EIR, impacts of the proposed HEU would not be cumulatively considerable. Impacts would be generally the same as the impact analyzed in the 2017 EIR for the 2030 Comprehensive Plan. Because there would be no new or substantially more severe significant impacts than what was analyzed in the 2017 EIR, further analysis is not warranted.

These other required discussions include impacts found not to be significant, growth-inducing impacts, and irreversible changes. As with the 2017 EIR, the proposed HEU would not directly induce growth because it would not extend services to an undeveloped area. The proposed HEU would direct growth to specific areas that are already urbanized and underutilized and would improve mobility while not making new areas within or outside of Palo Alto easier to develop. Although employment growth that occurs during the life of the proposed HEU could indirectly induce additional growth by contributing to an increased demand for housing, similar to the 2017 EIR, future development would be required to comply with policies within the 2030 Comprehensive Plan to ensure growth occurs in a sustainable manner. All potential impacts associated with population and housing growth would be mitigated to less than significant levels. Given that the State is currently in an ongoing housing crisis due to an insufficient housing supply, the additional units under the proposed project would further assist in addressing the existing crisis and meeting the housing needs of the City’s communities, and would allow the city to satisfy its fair share of RHNA. The proposed HEU would allow land uses largely consistent with current land uses and redevelopment would occur in areas that are already urbanized, which would not result in irreversible land use changes. Additionally, as discussed in Section 9, Hazards and Hazardous Materials, of this Addendum, compliance with federal, State, and local hazardous materials regulations and local emergency plans would ensure that irreversible changes to the physical environment from the accidental release of hazardous materials are less than significant. As with the 2017 EIR, the proposed HEU would irretrievably commit non-renewable resources for the construction and maintenance of buildings and infrastructure. These non-renewable resources include mined materials such as sand, gravel, steel, lead, copper, and other metals. Buildout of the proposed HEU would also result in a long-term commitment to the consumption of fossil fuels, natural gas, and gasoline. Increased energy demands would be used for construction, lighting, heating, and cooling of residences, and transportation of people within, to, and from the housing inventory sites. However, the proposed project would place residents in proximity to transit, services, and jobs, which would reduce consumption of fossil fuels through the reduced reliance on single-occupancy vehicles and promote bicycling and walking. Additionally, future development would be required to include an all-electric design pursuant to the City’s Reach Code and would utilize 100 percent carbon neutral electricity supplied by CPAU. Therefore, by facilitating residential development that would maximize conservation, energy efficiency, and solar energy generation, impacts would be less than significant. As described above in Sections 1 through 20, the proposed project would not result in new or substantially more severe significant direct, indirect, or cumulative impacts beyond those identified in the 2017 EIR for the 2030 Comprehensive Plan. Therefore, the proposed project would also result in no new or substantially more severe significant impacts found not to be Item 9 Attachment E - Addendum to the Comprehensive Plan EIR (November 2023)        Item 9: Staff Report Pg. 264  Packet Pg. 331 of 511  IMPACT ANALYSIS OTHER CEQA REQUIRED DISCUSSIONS 1 6 2 | P a g e Addendum to the 2030 Comprehensive Plan EIR significant, growth-inducing impacts, and irreversible changes beyond those previously discussed in the 2017 EIR.

Significant impacts beyond those identified and analyzed in the 2017 EIR would not be expected to occur as a result of the proposed project. Overall, the proposed HEU would result in no new information of substantial importance that would have new, more severe impacts, or new mitigation measures from what was identified in the 2017 EIR. As such, the proposed project would not result in conditions identified in State CEQA Guidelines Section 15162, and a Subsequent or Supplemental EIR is not required for the proposed project. Again, it should be noted that the proposed project would be subject to all previously required mitigation measures from the 2017 EIR, as applicable. The MMRP adopted for the 2030 Comprehensive Plan would continue to be applicable to the proposed project. Based on the above analysis, this Addendum to the 2017 EIR for the 2030 Comprehensive Plan has been prepared in accordance with Section 15164 of the State CEQA Guidelines.

This memorandum presents a summary of the vehicle miles traveled (VMT) methodology and analysis findings. Project Description The proposed Housing Element would amend the City of Palo Alto’s 2030 Comprehensive Plan by replacing the current Housing Element with the proposed 2023-2031 Housing Element. The proposed Housing Element identifies 280 sites that could provide additional housing of 6,860 residential units within the City of Palo Alto. The majority of the sites are located throughout Palo Alto’s Downtown and South of the Forest Area in districts that allow for a mix of residential and commercial uses near transit and services. Senate Bill 743 Based on revisions in State law to implement Senate Bill (SB) 743, public agencies in California are mandated to use vehicle miles traveled (VMT) as the metric for CEQA transportation analyses starting July 1, 2020. The CEQA Guidelines now identify VMT as the most appropriate metric for evaluating a project’s transportation impacts. With the California Natural Resources Agency’s certification and adoption of the changes to the CEQA Guidelines, automobile delay, and congestion, as measured by level of service (LOS) and other similar metrics, no longer constitutes a significant environmental effect under CEQA. However, LOS is used outside the CEQA document to evaluate other non-CEQA transportation impacts of development projects, such as congestion, circulation, and safety issues and concerns. Palo Alto Vehicle Miles Traveled Policy On June 15, 2020, the Palo Alto City Council established a VMT policy by adopting a resolution updating the City’s transportation analysis methodology under CEQA to comply with California Senate Bill 743. In addition, City Council adopted a local transportation impact analysis policy to evaluate the level of service and other local roadway impacts. The VMT policy contains screening criteria to identify projects that can be presumed to have a less than significant transportation impact. The Governor’s Office of Planning and Research (OPR) recommends that agencies use screening criteria to identify projects known to reduce VMT or be low VMT generators, and that are thus expected to have a less than significant VMT impact. These projects would then be exempt from performing a quantitative VMT analysis. The use of screening criteria streamlines analysis for projects already presumed to have a less than significant impact on VMT. Palo Alto’s Comprehensive Plan policies encourage housing developments to protect local-serving retail, and to reduce traffic on the roadway network. Therefore, projects aligned with City policies do not have to procure costly and redundant transportation analyses that will show they are low-VMT generators under CEQA. If a project meets the screening criteria, a quantitative VMT analysis would not Item 9 Attachment E - Addendum to the Comprehensive Plan EIR (November 2023)        Item 9: Staff Report Pg. 273  Packet Pg. 340 of 511  VMT Analysis for the Palo Alto Housing Element Update (HEU) November 1, 2023 Page | 2 be required; however, the CEQA analysis would still include a qualitative assessment of VMT, discussing the site(s) and location characteristics. The City of Palo Alto has established the following VMT screening criteria to determine land use development projects that may be exempt from additional VMT analysis under the City’s VMT guidelines: • Small Projects: Projects that generate fewer than 110 trips per day. This may equate to non- residential projects of 10,000 sq. ft., or less and residential projects of 20 units or less. • Projects in Low VMT Areas: Residential and office projects located in low-VMT areas1 with similar features (i.e., density, mix of uses, transit accessibility) as existing developments in these areas. • Projects in Proximity to Major Transit Stops: Projects that are located within a half mile of an existing or planned high-quality transit corridor or major transit stations, and meet the following additional criteria: (1) is high density (minimum floor area ratio of 0.75), (2) does not exceed parking requirements, (3) is consistent with Plan Bay Area, and (4) does not replace affordable units with smaller numbers of moderate- or above moderate- income units. • Affordable Housing: 100% affordable housing projects in infill locations. • Local Serving Retail: Retail projects of 50,000 sq. ft. or less. Thresholds of Significance Land use projects not screened out will require quantitative VMT analyses, and their VMTs must be below pre-determined thresholds to be considered as having a less-than-significant impact. Consistent with State CEQA Guidelines Section 15064.3, the City of Palo Alto has adopted the thresholds of significance for residential projects. A residential project that exceeds a level of 15% below existing (baseline) County home-based VMT per resident may indicate a significant transportation impact. Because the proposed Housing Element is a citywide plan, this threshold is applied to the citywide home-based VMT per resident. VMT Analysis Methodology and Findings When applying the above thresholds for residential projects, VMT is compared to a threshold based on the countywide (2015) baseline VMT value, which is the home-based VMT per resident. Home-based VMT per resident is defined as the number of all home-based automobile vehicle trips traced back to the residence multiplied by the vehicle distance. This home-based VMT is then divided by the population to calculate home-based VMT per resident. 1 Residential projects located in areas where baseline VMT is 15% below the existing county average per resident, and office projects located in areas where baseline VMT is 15% below the existing regional average per employee could be considered to be in low-VMT areas and presumed to have a less than significant VMT impact.

The PA model is a refinement of Santa Clara Valley Transportation Authority’s (VTA’s) Bi-County Travel Forecasting Model (VTA model)2. The PA model is the best available tool to simulate travel in Palo Alto and serves as the primary forecasting tool for the City. The model is a mathematical representation of travel in the nine Bay Area counties and Santa Cruz, San Benito, Monterey, and San Juaquin counties, focusing on travel within the City of Palo Alto. The model has four main components: 1) trip generation, 2) trip distribution, 3) mode choice, and 4) trip assignment. The model uses socioeconomic inputs (i.e., population, income, employment) aggregated into geographic areas, called transportation analysis zones (TAZs), to estimate travel within the modeled area. There are 110 TAZs within the model that represent the City of Palo Alto, and the 280 Housing Element sites are spread out over 54 TAZs. Scenarios Analyzed In addition to evaluating VMT for the Housing Element, VMT associated with Scenario 6 of the City’s Comprehensive Plan was also analyzed. The land use assumptions and transportation networks of the PA model were updated to reflect the year 2031 conditions. The year 2031 land use data outside Palo Alto was interpolated between VTA’s 2015 and 2040 land use assumptions. Palo Alto’s two future land use scenarios reflect the increases in households and employment proposed for the Comprehensive Plan and the Housing Element, respectively. The following scenarios are addressed in the VMT analysis. • Baseline (2015) Conditions: The baseline (2015) PA model is used to determine the baseline home- based VMT per resident for the TAZs in Palo Alto, as well as to determine the countywide average VMT per resident and the 85th percentile of the countywide average VMT per resident. • Comprehensive Plan (2031) Conditions: This scenario includes the proposed land uses assumed for Scenario 6 of Palo Alto’s Comprehensive Plan. Scenario 6 contains 6,000 additional housing units and 8,868 jobs. • Housing Element (2031) Conditions: This scenario includes the proposed land uses assumed in the Housing Element. The Housing Element includes 6,860 additional housing units and 8,868 jobs. Figures 1 and 2 present the growth in housing units for the TAZs assumed for the Comprehensive Plan and the Housing Element Plan, respectively. The increase in jobs, which is assumed to be the same for both the Comprehensive Plan and the Housing Element Plan, is shown on Figure 3. 2 Documentation of the Palo Alto Travel Forecasting Model Update is summarized in a Technical Memorandum: Palo Alto Model Update and Validation Results, January 5, 2023.

Table 1 below shows the residential VMT, the number of housing units, the population, and the VMT per resident for Santa Clara County and three Palo Alto scenarios. The county average VMT per resident for residential development is 12.90, and the threshold of significance is 85 percent of 12.90 or 10.97 daily vehicle miles per resident. As a whole, the Comprehensive Plan and the Housing Element have a residential VMT of 9.02 and 9.25, respectively, which is less than 85 percent of the county average VMT per resident. Thus, the VMT per resident for the Housing Element (and also for the Comprehensive Plan) as a whole would be below the threshold of 10.97 VMT per resident. Therefore, implementing the Housing Element would result in a less-than-significant VMT impact on transportation. Table 1: VMT Projections for Palo Alto and Santa Clara County Site-Specific VMT Analysis The following site-specific analysis is provided for informational purposes only, and, as explained earlier, the relevant analysis for CEQA purposes is citywide VMT. The 280 Housing Element sites are spread out over 54 TAZs. A VMT analysis for each of the 54 TAZs shows that the Housing Element sites in six TAZs have a VMT per resident higher than the threshold of 85 percent of the countywide average. A summary of the VMT data for those six TAZs is shown in Table 2. Table 2 Housing Sites in TAZs with VMTs Higher than 85 Percent of the County Average The VMT per resident at four TAZs (473, 477, 495, and 533) is still lower than the county average of 12.90.

A list of TDM strategies to mitigate VMT impacts can be found in Appendix G of the document “SB 743 Implementation Decisions for Palo Alto” at this link. TAZs 496 and 525 have VMT per resident values greater than the countywide average, and the VMTs at these TAZs are immitigable.

The proposed project consists of a complete update to the Housing Element and related edits to the City’s Comprehensive Plan Land Use Element and Palo Alto Municipal Code. The Housing Element is one of the seven state-mandated elements of the local Comprehensive Plan and is required to be updated every eight years. The City of Palo Alto is preparing the 2023-2031 Housing Element Update to comply with the legal mandate that requires each local government to identify adequate sites for housing to meet the existing and projected housing needs for varying income-levels in the community. It is intended to provide the city with a comprehensive strategy for promoting the production of safe, decent and affordable housing, and affirmatively furthering fair housing during the housing cycle. The Housing Element Update establishes goals, policies, and actions to address the existing and projected housing needs in Palo Alto. Overall, the City’s zoning and other land use regulations must accommodate at least 6,695 new units during the 8-year planning period in order to demonstrate to the State Department of Housing and Community Development(HCD) that the City’s Housing Element has identified adequate land use capacity and implementing policies to accommodate its Regional Housing Needs Allocation (RHNA) in addition to the identified “buffer” of 10 percent above its RHNA. By comparison, the 2017 Comprehensive Plan anticipated—and the Comprehensive Plan Environmental Impact Report evaluated—the addition of 3,545 to 4,420. Although no development is specifically proposed as part of the Housing Element Update, the City’s CEQA analysis will evaluate the potential buildout of these housing units within the boundaries of the City of Palo Alto. The Housing Element will also identify a list of Housing Inventory Sites which reflect the sites within the City as the highest likelihood of housing redevelopment in order to accommodate the RHNA. A map of the jurisdictions boundaries as well as a list of the draft Housing Inventory Sites is attached. The City of Palo Alto is sending this letter because the Native American Heritage Commission has provided your name as a representative of a tribe that is traditionally and culturally affiliated with the geographic area of the proposed project. The input of the Amah Mutsun Tribal Band is important to the City of Palo Alto’s planning process and we invite you to engage in scoping consultation pursuant to Government Code §65352.4 (Assembly Bill 52) and Government Code § 65352.3– 65352.4 (Senate Bill 18) or to confidentially provide any information you have regarding Native American cultural resources located in or near the proposed project area that may be affected by project activities. If you wish to engage in consultation under AB 52 (California Public Resources Code § 21080.3.1) for this or future projects, you may submit a written request for notification of proposed projects. In accordance with AB 52 your tribe has 30 days from receipt of this letter to respond in writing if you wish to consult on the proposed project. Under the provisions of SB 18, your tribe has 90 days from receipt of this letter to respond in writing if you wish to consult on the proposed project.

Salinas, California 93906 Via email: kwood8934@aol.com RE: Assembly Bill 52 and Senate Bill 18 Consultation, City of Palo Alto 2023-31 Housing Element Update, Palo Alto, California Dear Chairperson Woodrow: The City of Palo Alto, acting as the lead agency in accordance with the California Environmental Quality Act, is preparing a Supplemental EIR for its 2023-31 Housing Element Update. The proposed project consists of a complete update to the Housing Element and related edits to the City’s Comprehensive Plan Land Use Element and Palo Alto Municipal Code. The Housing Element is one of the seven state-mandated elements of the local Comprehensive Plan and is required to be updated every eight years. The City of Palo Alto is preparing the 2023-2031 Housing Element Update to comply with the legal mandate that requires each local government to identify adequate sites for housing to meet the existing and projected housing needs for varying income-levels in the community. It is intended to provide the city with a comprehensive strategy for promoting the production of safe, decent and affordable housing, and affirmatively furthering fair housing during the housing cycle. The Housing Element Update establishes goals, policies, and actions to address the existing and projected housing needs in Palo Alto. Overall, the City’s zoning and other land use regulations must accommodate at least 6,695 new units during the 8-year planning period in order to demonstrate to the State Department of Housing and Community Development(HCD) that the City’s Housing Element has identified adequate land use capacity and implementing policies to accommodate its Regional Housing Needs Allocation (RHNA) in addition to the identified “buffer” of 10 percent above its RHNA. By comparison, the 2017 Comprehensive Plan anticipated—and the Comprehensive Plan Environmental Impact Report evaluated—the addition of 3,545 to 4,420. Although no development is specifically proposed as part of the Housing Element Update, the City’s CEQA analysis will evaluate the potential buildout of these housing units within the boundaries of the City of Palo Alto. The Housing Element will also identify a list of Housing Inventory Sites which reflect the sites within the City as the highest likelihood of housing redevelopment in order to accommodate the RHNA. A map of the jurisdictions boundaries as well as a list of the draft Housing Inventory Sites is attached. The City of Palo Alto is sending this letter because the Native American Heritage Commission has provided your name as a representative of a tribe that is traditionally and culturally affiliated with the geographic area of the proposed project.

Environmental Assessment: A Mitigated Negative Declaration has been prepared for the proposed project. Zoning District: OS (Open Space). RECOMMENDATION Staff Recommends the City Council take the following action(s): 1. Approve the Final Mitigated Negative Declaration and Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Plan 2. Approve the proposed project based on findings and subject to conditions of approval. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY The applicant proposes to construct a new single family home and accessory dwelling unit on a vacant property in the foothills. Because of its location, a site and design review application is required. Earlier this year the City Council remanded the project back to the Planning and Transportation Commission to address concerns related to potential impacts to the intermittent stream and riparian corridor. The Commission has reviewed the project revisions and recommends approval. BACKGROUND The subject application for site and design review was filed in July 2021 and is required due to the project’s location in an environmentally sensitive location in the foothills. The Planning and Transportation Commission (PTC) reviewed the project in August 20221 and made a recommendation to approve the new single family home and accessory dwelling unit on a vacant lot off Los Trancos Road and in proximity to an intermittent stream. 1 August 31, 2022 Planning and Transportation Commission Report: https://www.cityofpaloalto.org/files/assets/public/agendas-minutes-reports/agendas-minutes/planning-and- transportation-commission/2022/ptc-08.31.2022-575-los-trancos.pdf. Item 10 Item 10 Staff Report        Item 10: Staff Report Pg. 1  Packet Pg. 423 of 511  The City Council in January 23, 20232,3 considered the project and the Commission’s recommendation and was unable to make all of the site and design review findings. Specifically, the Council (4-2; Lythcott-Haims, Tanaka) remanded the project back to the PTC to address the following: a) Evaluate a project design that provides for an approximate 50-foot setback from the top of bank; b) Effective bird-safe glazing treatment of all glass surfaces achieving the American Bird Conservancy Threat Factor rating of 15; c) Eliminate fencing that could impede wildlife movement along the creek; d) Minimize nighttime lighting along the riparian corridor and allow only minimal lighting in all other locations. Lighting should not interfere with wildlife movement through the landscape, and all outdoor lighting should be limited to Correlated Color Temperature of 2700 Kelvin or less, and extinguished at 11 P.M.; and, e) Pool should be covered and fenced in a way that ensures that small animals, such as amphibians and reptiles cannot enter the swimming pool. The City Council also directed staff to return with a plan and timeline to amend the zoning code to address Comprehensive Plan Policy N.3.3 (Protection of Creeks). On this last point, the City Council authorized funding for staff to hire a consultant to complete this work in 2024. Staff is currently working on securing a consultant to prepare this work. On August 9, 2023,4,5 the PTC reviewed a revised project that reflects the applicant’s efforts to address Council’s concerns. These project plans included a new home setback of at least 49 feet from the stream’s top of bank, but the swimming pool setback ranged from 28'8" to 45'9" from the top of bank. The PTC discussed the pool’s location and ultimately made a recommendation to approve the project with the following points or conditions: The PTC recommendation neither supported nor opposed the pool location; Modify the conditions of approval to include best practices to prevent Sudden Oak Death; to require that tools be disinfected and cleaned prior to coming on site and that no materials shall be relocated to portions of the parcel that are not part of the construction for any reason; and, 2 January 23, 2023 Council Report: https://cityofpaloalto.primegov.com/meetings/ItemWithTemplateType?id=851&meetingTemplateType=2. 3 January 23, 2023 Council Action Minutes: https://cityofpaloalto.primegov.com/Public/CompiledDocument?meetingTemplateId=1066&compileOutputType= 1. 4 August 9, 2023 Planning and Transportation Commission Report: https://www.cityofpaloalto.org/files/assets/public/agendas-minutes-reports/agendas-minutes/planning-and- transportation-commission/2023/ptc-8.09-575-los-trancos.pdf. 5 August 9, 2023 Planning and Transportation Commission Summary Minutes: https://www.cityofpaloalto.org/files/assets/public/v/2/agendas-minutes-reports/agendas-minutes/planning-and- transportation-commission/2023/ptc-8.9.2023-summary2.pdf. Item 10 Item 10 Staff Report        Item 10: Staff Report Pg. 2  Packet Pg. 424 of 511  Modify the conditions of approval to “ensure that any excavated soils not be relocated to portions of the parcel that are not part of the construction for any reason, no storage in riparian setback”. The latter two approval condition modifications have been incorporated as Conditions #7 and #8 accordingly. ANALYSIS The City Council previously was unable to make required findings to approve the subject application. The Council remanded the project to the PTC to address specific issues. Each of those topics and the applicant’s response are provided below: Top of Bank Setback The City Council requested the project design be evaluated to provide for an approximately 50- foot setback from the top of bank. The applicant responded with building wall setbacks ranging from 49' to approximately 100’. Some building roof overhangs project into the 50-foot setback by approximately three feet. To achieve this footprint reduction, the second story floor plate increased by nearly 1,200 square feet, while the overall project floor area decreased by approximately 135 square feet. After receiving the PTC’s approval recommendation, staff had a follow up conversation with the applicant encouraging a design modification to increase the pool setback. The applicant responded with revised plans showing an additional four-foot setback from the stream’s top of bank, resulting in a pool setback ranging from 32'8" to 51'1". Bird Safety Glass The City Council requested effective bird-safe glazing treatment of all glass surfaces with the intent to achieve the American Bird Conservancy Threat Factor rating of 15. The project has been revised to eliminate all but one small upper-level window from the building façade facing the creek. Other non-egress windows on the second story have decorative wood slat screens which will decrease the likelihood of bird strikes. Three egress windows are not behind screens on the front facade, as they are required to be operable and unblocked for fire safety. There are several other side-facing, non-operable windows that are unscreened, such as in the stairway and at the master bedroom balcony. Most of the other unscreened windows are recessed into the building articulation, below deep roof overhangs, which reduce the risk of bird strikes from the windows being shaded. The stairway window is behind a large tree. The wood screen slats are 1.5 inches wide, 4 inches deep (projecting from window), and with 4 inches between the slats. This is equivalent to a threat factor of 25, which reduces the risk of bird strikes by more than 50%. Item 10 Item 10 Staff Report        Item 10: Staff Report Pg. 3  Packet Pg. 425 of 511  The American Bird Conservancy established guidelines6 describing how to meet an ABC rating of 20, which includes acid etched glass, opaque, or less than 15% reflective and has a visual pattern (such as dots, stripes, etc.) that are at least 1/8 inches wide and no more than 2 inches apart vertically and horizontally. The guidance document does not include a definition for a rating of 15, but their website assigned a rating of 15 to materials such as glass with 5mm (larger than 1/8 inch) etched dots in a two-inch array, or 6 mm dots spaced 10 mm on center covering 25% of the surface of the glass. While the project redesign reduces the risk of bird strikes, it falls short of the Council’s intended standard (ABC Threat Factor 15). The PTC discussed this topic during the hearing and noted that an ABC rating of 20 or 25 is more easily achieved, because there are more products available at these ratings. Moreover, many preventive measures to reduce bird strikes focus on commercial development with large windowpanes and the ability to see through portions of some buildings. For the subject redesigned residential building, efforts were made to reduce bird strikes by using screens, recessed windows and building modulation. The PTC did not request any changes to the project related to bird safety. If the City Council were to approve the project and wanted to see the more stringent standards adhered to, then a condition could be imposed with specific direction. While staff is currently working on an ordinance to propose new bird safe glass standards, no such standards currently exist or apply to the subject project. Fencing Near Creek The City Council requested the elimination of fencing that could impede wildlife movement along the creek. No fencing is proposed for the majority of the property. An automatic safety cover will be used on the pool to meet the requirements of the Swimming Pool Safety Act; this pool cover is in place of a perimeter fence. Additionally, an approximately 55-foot-long wall is proposed to block vehicle headlights from shining towards the creek. No other fences are proposed. A condition of approval has been added to the record of land use action following the PTC’s review, imposing restrictions on future fencing. Outdoor Lighting The City Council sought to minimize nighttime lighting along the riparian corridor and to restrict outdoor lighting to a Correlated Color Temperature of 2700 Kelvin or less and to have outdoor lighting turn off by 11 P.M., so as to not interfere with wildlife movement As noted above, the number of windows facing the creek has been reduced, thereby reducing the amount of glare from windows toward the riparian corridor. Additionally, light fixtures have 6 American Bird Conservancy Threat Rating System: https://dariuszzdziebk.wpenginepowered.com/wp- content/uploads/2023/06/What-is-a-Material-Threat-Factor-January-2023.pdf. Item 10 Item 10 Staff Report        Item 10: Staff Report Pg. 4  Packet Pg. 426 of 511  been moved away from windows to more interior locations in the rooms; windows will also have shades, but these are not set to a timer and cannot be relied upon as an effective means to minimize glare. A light shield wall has been added to the driveway to reduce light from vehicle headlights from reaching the creek (Plan Sheet L1.00). The record of land use action has been updated (Condition 8) to specify the Correlated Color Temperature of 2700 Kelvin or less requirement and the programmed shut off time by 11:00 P.M. Pool Covering The City Council wanted to ensure the pool covering was adequate to prevent small animals, such as amphibians and reptiles, from entering the swimming pool. The pool now includes an automatic safety cover that will meet the requirements of the Swimming Pool Safety Act. If animals attempt to enter the pool, the cover provides a surface that makes it easier to escape and return to their habitat. FISCAL/RESOURCE IMPACT There are no significant fiscal or resource impacts associated with the recommendation in this report. Site and design review applications are cost-recovery projects. STAKEHOLDER ENGAGEMENT As of the writing of this report, no new comments were received. Prior comments have been attached to the PTC and prior Council staff reports. ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW The subject project has been assessed in accordance with the authority and criteria contained in the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), the State CEQA Guidelines, and the environmental regulations of the City. Specifically, a draft IS/MND was prepared and circulated from August 17, 2022 until September 16, 2022. Three comment letters were received and a Response to Comments, as well as the Final IS/MND has been prepared and was published prior to the August 9, 2023 Planning and Transportation Commission meeting. The final IS/MND included updates based on changes to the project made after circulation, comments received, and to clarify information. Corrections and additional text are shown as track changes in the text of the Final IS/MND. No additional changes have been made since this publication. In no case did the project revisions, any of the public comments or the changes made to the IS/MND result in or identify new significant impacts or new, avoidable significant effects compared to the impacts identified in the Draft IS/MND. Because none of the revisions to the IS/MND are “substantial” as defined in CEQA Guidelines Section 15073.5(b) and the information added merely clarifies and amplifies the information previously provided in the analysis, recirculation of the IS/MND is not required.

Objective (c): To ensure that sound principles of environmental design and ecological balance shall be observed. The OS zoning district includes regulations to ensure that sound principles of environmental design and ecological balance shall be observed. The proposed design will meet these regulations including: • Landscaping. Maintaining existing vegetation and land formations to the maximum extent possible. The arborist report surveyed 82 trees in the project vicinity. 5 trees (including 1 protected Coast Live Oak) were identified as dead and will be removed. 10 replacement trees will be planted on site. All other trees in the project vicinity will have tree protection fencing during construction. • Building location. The proposed development is in a relatively flat area away from adjacent hills or slopes. The house is not expected to be visible from public roadways and is shielded by many mature trees. • Privacy. The proposed house and ADU will not have views to other residences which would create a privacy impact. • Architectural materials. Proposed materials fit in the natural landscape, through earth-toned colors and wood and plaster siding. D. Objective (d): To ensure that the use will be in accord with the Palo Alto Comprehensive Plan. This property is located in the Streamside Open Space designation. The intention of this designation, in this location is to protect Los Trancos Creek. As stated in the Mitigated Negative Declaration, no direct impacts to the creek would occur as a result of this project. Indirect impacts including runoff and erosion Item 10 Attachment C - Draft Record of Land Use        Item 10: Staff Report Pg. 10  Packet Pg. 432 of 511  Page 3 will be addressed through mitigation measures (see Mitigation Measure BIO-3). While this designation does not explicitly allow housing, single-family houses and accessory dwelling units have regularly been built there. SECTION 4. Open Space Review Criteria. The following criteria shall be considered in the Site and Design review of all development of land in the OS district, as outlined in the Conservation Element of the Comprehensive Plan: 1. The development should not be visually intrusive from public roadways and public parklands. As much as possible, development should be sited so it is hidden from view. The proposed structures are located in a naturally low, flat portion of the property. The development will be hidden from view of the street by both elevation and mature trees. 2. Development should be located away from hilltops and designed to not extend above the nearest ridgeline. The new home and Accessory Dwelling Unit are not located near a hilltop and will not extend above the nearest ridgeline. 3. Site and structure design should take into consideration impacts on privacy and views of neighboring properties. The proposed structure will not impact privacy, as it is located as a lower elevation than neighboring properties. Any potential views from the second story are also shielded by the existing trees, and the large distances customary to the Open Space district. 4. Development should be clustered, or closely grouped, in relation to the area surrounding it to make it less conspicuous, minimize access roads, and reduce fragmentation of natural habitats. The proposed development is proposed for a small section of the overall 5.38 acre site. One driveway/access road will provide access to the two dwelling units. 5. Built forms and landscape forms should mimic the natural topography. Building lines should follow the lines of the terrain, and trees and bushes should appear natural from a distance. The building and related patios and landscaping are isolated to the flat portion of the site. The project proposes to maintain all of the existing protected trees, preserving the natural appearance of the site. 6. Existing trees with a circumference of 37.5 inches, measured 4.5 feet above the ground level, should be preserved and integrated into the site design. Existing vegetation should be retained as much as possible. All existing trees are proposed to remain, three dead trees have already been removed for safety reasons. 7. Cut is encouraged when it is necessary for geotechnical stability and to enable the development to blend into the natural topography. Fill is generally discouraged and should never be distributed within the driplines of existing trees. Locate development to minimize the need for grading. This project has minimized grading, the majority of the grading is associated with installing a Item 10 Attachment C - Draft Record of Land Use        Item 10: Staff Report Pg. 11  Packet Pg. 433 of 511  Page 4 swimming pool. 8. To reduce the need for cut and fill and to reduce potential runoff, large, flat expanses of impervious surfaces should be avoided. The design of the home and site landscaping have been designed to minimize the need for cut and fill. The entire driveway is designed to be DG and permeable, with impervious areas limited primarily to the building and patios off the building. 9. Buildings should use natural materials and earth tone or subdued colors. The proposed materials include: horizontal wood siding and slat screens with warm, earth-gray smooth-finished cement plaster, a solid dark gray flat roof, and dark wood toned windows and doors. 10. Landscaping should be native species that require little or no irrigation. Immediately adjacent to structures, fire retardant plants should be used as a fire prevention technique. The majority of the on site landscaping is existing. Additional planting in the patio areas will use plant materials will be selected for water conservation and low-maintenance characteristics and for fire-resistive properties where adjacent to the home. 11. Exterior lighting should be low-intensity and shielded from view so it is not directly visible from off-site. Exterior lighting shall be low-intensity (Color Temperature of 2700 Kelvin or less), extinguished at 11:00 PM, and will be shielded from view as to not be directly visible from the street and surrounding properties. 12. Access roads should be of a rural rather than urban character. (Standard curb, gutter, and concrete sidewalk are usually inconsistent with the foothills environment). The proposed access road is in the existing location, which follows the natural topography, and the proposed decomposed granite material is consistent with a rural character. 13. For development in unincorporated areas, ground coverage should be in general conformance with Palo Alto's Open Space District regulations. N/A, the project is within Palo Alto city limits.

The California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) was amended in 1989 to add Section 21081.6, which requires a public agency to adopt a monitoring and reporting program for assessing and ensuring compliance with any required mitigation measures applied to proposed development. As stated in section 21081.6(a)(1) of the Public Resources Code: ... the public agency shall adopt a reporting or monitoring program for the changes made to the project or conditions of project approval, adopted in order to mitigate or avoid significant effects on the environment. Section 21081.6 also provides general guidelines for implementing mitigation monitoring programs and indicates that specific reporting and/or monitoring requirements, to be enforced during project implementation, shall be defined as part of adopting an IS-MND. The mitigation monitoring table lists those mitigation measures that would be included as conditions of approval for the project. To ensure that the mitigation measures are properly implemented, a monitoring program has been devised which identifies the timing and responsibility for monitoring each measure.

Prior to tree removal, a qualified biologist shall conduct a focused survey of all trees to be removed or impacted by construction activities to determine whether active roosts of special- status bats are present on site. If tree removal is planned for the fall, it is recommended the survey be conducted in September to ensure tree removal would have adequate time to occur during seasonal periods of bat activity, as described below. If tree removal is planned for the spring, it is recommended the survey be conducted during the earliest possible time in March, to Project Applicant/ verified by the Development Services Department Prior to tree removal and during tree removal if bats found City of Palo Alto Development Services Department Item 10 Attachment C - Draft Record of Land Use        Item 10: Staff Report Pg. 24  Packet Pg. 446 of 511  City of Palo Alto  Mitigation Monitoring + Reporting Program P a g e | 7 Environmental Impact Mitigation Measure Responsible for Implementation Timing of Compliance Oversight of Implementation allow for suitable conditions for both the detection of bats and subsequent tree removal. Trees containing suitable potential bat roost habitat features shall be clearly marked or identified. If day roosts are found to be potentially present, the biologist shall prepare a site-specific roosting bat protection plan to be implemented by the contractor following the City of Palo Alto’s approval. The plan shall incorporate the following guidance as appropriate:  To the extent possible, trees identified as suitable roosting habitat shall be removed during seasonal periods of bat activity, including the following, but not during maternity season: o Between September 1 and about October 15, or before evening temperatures fall below 45 degrees Fahrenheit and/or more than 0.5 inch of rainfall within 24 hours occurs. o Between March 1 and April 15, or after evening temperatures rise above 45 degrees Fahrenheit and/or no more than 0.5 inch of rainfall within 24 hours occurs.  If a tree must be removed during the maternity/breeding season and is identified as potentially containing a colonial maternity roost, then a qualified biologist shall conduct acoustic emergence surveys or implement other appropriate methods to further evaluate if the roost is an active maternity roost. Under the biologist’s guidance, the contractor shall implement measures similar to or better than the following: o If it is determined that the roost is not an active maternity roost, then the roost may be removed in accordance with the other requirements of this recommendation. o If it is found that an active maternity roost of a colonial roosting species is present, the Item 10 Attachment C - Draft Record of Land Use        Item 10: Staff Report Pg. 25  Packet Pg. 447 of 511  City of Palo Alto  Mitigation Monitoring + Reporting Program P a g e | 8 Environmental Impact Mitigation Measure Responsible for Implementation Timing of Compliance Oversight of Implementation roost shall not be disturbed during the breeding season (April 15 to August 31).  Potential colonial hibernation roosts may only be removed during seasonal periods of bat activity. Potential non-colonial roosts that cannot be avoided shall be removed on warm days in late morning to afternoon when any bats present are likely to be warm and able to fly. Appropriate methods shall be used to minimize the potential harm to bats during tree removal. Such methods may include using a two-step tree removal process. This method is conducted over two consecutive days and works by creating noise and vibration by cutting non-habitat branches and limbs from habitat trees using chainsaws only (no excavators or other heavy machinery) on day one. The noise and vibration disturbance, together with the visible alteration of the tree, is very effective in causing bats that emerge nightly to feed to not return to the roost that night. The remainder of the tree is removed on day two. BIO-6 Preconstruction Surveys for San Francisco Dusky-Footed Woodrat.

RECOMMENDATION No Council action is required. This is an update on Sustainability and Climate Action Plan (S/CAP) Implementation Progress through the third quarter of calendar year 2023. This report provides a status of numerous S/CAP Workplan items and is provided to give the City Council and public an initial overview of this work since the S/CAP was adopted by Council in June of 2023. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Consistent with Council’s adoption of “Climate Change & Natural Environment: Protection and Adaptation” as one of the four priorities for calendar year 2023, staff updated the Sustainability and Climate Action Plan (S/CAP) to help the City meet its sustainability goals, including its goals of reducing greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions 80 percent below 1990 levels by 2030 (the “80 x 30” goal) and achieving carbon neutrality by 2030. In June 2023, Council adopted the 2022 Sustainability and Climate Action Plan, certified the Comprehensive Plan Environmental Impact Report Addendum: Update to the Sustainability and Climate Action Plan, and accepted the 2023-2025 S/CAP Workplan.1 Since the 2022 S/CAP was adopted, the city has made progress in implementation of the S/CAP Key Actions and the 2023-2025 S/CAP Workplan items. The S/CAP Goals and Key Actions are divided into eight areas, four of which are climate-focused and include actions to achieve the City’s 80 x 30 and carbon neutrality by 2030 goals (Climate Action, Energy, Electric Vehicles, and 1 City Council, June 5, 2023; Agenda Item #14; SR #2303-1158 https://www.cityofpaloalto.org/files/assets/public/v/1/agendas-minutes-reports/agendas-minutes/city-council- agendas-minutes/2023/20230605-item14-scap/mini-packet_city-council-special- meeting_20230526171309606.pdf Item 11 Item 11 Staff Report        Item 11: Staff Report Pg. 1  Packet Pg. 455 of 511  Mobility) and four of which are focused on actions that create a sustainable natural environment and adapting to a warming climate (Water, Climate Adaptation & Sea Level Rise, Natural Environment, and Zero Waste). The Work plan is similarly divided between climate- focused and sustainability-focused priorities. This is the first of what will be quarterly S/CAP Implementation updates, including the annual Earth Day report and study session that will also include an updated greenhouse gas inventory, progress towards S/CAP Goals, and key performance indicators. Highlights of Q3 2023 progress include: •Climate Action o As of September 28, 2023, 115 residents have signed contracts to participate in the full-service Heat Pump Water Heater Pilot Program, with another 225 residents in the assessment / estimation process. In addition, 37 residents have installed heat pump water heaters on their own, receiving a rebate from the City. o Staff began design of the first grid modernization project (upgrade of the neighborhood bounded by Highway 101, Embarcadero, Louis, and Amarillo) with construction expected to be completed in the first half of calendar year 2024. o An RFP has been issued for a study (the “S/CAP Funding Study”) to estimate the cost of achieving the 80x30 goal and potential funding and financing sources. o Staff began design work on several programs, including a commercial rooftop HVAC advanced pilot program, an expansion of the heat pump water heater program, a whole home electrification program, and expansion of the City’s multi-family EV charger program. o Staff completed 22 Electric Vehicle (EV) and e-bike workshops and events so far in 2023, with another 8 planned. o Palo Alto Link, the City’s newly launched eco-friendly rideshare service, is encouraging residents to choose shared transit over high-emissions emissions single occupancy vehicles, leading to an estimated 43% reduction in CO2 emissions, assuming passengers are choosing Palo Alto Link in lieu of private single occupancy vehicles to complete the same trip. o Twenty-one City internal combustion engine fleet vehicles are planned to be replaced with electric vehicles through approved vehicle replacement capital improvement projects in Fiscal Year 2024. •Sustainability o So far this year, the City has held 8 landscape workshops on topics including rainwater, harvesting, drought-tolerant landscape design, lawn conversion, and information on available rebates. o The Sea Level Rise Adaptation Plan will be coordinated with the levee improvements around Palo Alto’s Bay shoreline (known as the Shoreline II Project), and the Palo Alto Flood Basin Tide Gate Replacement Project. Staff is working on sea level rise and shallow groundwater mapping tools for staff planning use. Item 11 Item 11 Staff Report        Item 11: Staff Report Pg. 2  Packet Pg. 456 of 511  o Staff is working on various efforts related to improving the City’s Foothills fire management planning in collaboration with Santa Clara County and other allied agencies and entities. BACKGROUND In April 2016, City Council adopted the goal of reducing GHG emissions 80 percent below 1990 levels by 20302 (the “80 x 30” goal), and in October 2022 Council adopted the ambitious goal of achieving carbon neutrality by 20303. Staff, with community and Council input, referred to the 2016 Sustainability and Climate Action Plan (S/CAP) Framework and 2018-2020 Sustainability Implementation Plan to create a comprehensive S/CAP and Three- Year S/CAP Workplan. In June 2023, Council adopted the 2022 Sustainability and Climate Action Plan4, certified the Comprehensive Plan Environmental Impact Report Addendum: Update to the Sustainability and Climate Action Plan5, and accepted the 2023-2025 S/CAP Workplan6. The 2022 S/CAP and 2023-2025 S/CAP Work Plan align with one of the four Council Priorities for CY 2023: “Climate Change & Natural Environment: Protection and Adaptation”. In addition, there are several overlapping Council Priority Objectives, the status of which can be found in the 2023 Council Priority Objectives Q3 Report7. The S/CAP is an ambitious plan to reduce the City and community’s GHG emissions, while also guiding how Palo Alto uses land and natural resources in ways that ensure quality of life for future generations. The S/CAP lists the detailed actions needed to achieve the City’s 80x30 goal but does not provide guidance on task prioritization or implementation timeline. The 2023- 2025 S/CAP Work Plan is meant to guide staff efforts on the S/CAP through 2025 by prioritizing and providing more detail on implementation of the S/CAP.

The City owns, operates, and maintains a full-service utilities portfolio that provides electric, natural gas, fiber, water, refuse, and wastewater services to residents and businesses in Palo Alto. Palo Alto’s continued leadership in advancing sustainability commitments has succeeded mainly because of the continued collaboration of community stakeholders, City departments, and the leadership of the City Council. The S/CAP Goals and Key Actions are divided into eight areas, four of which are climate-focused and include actions to achieve the City’s 80 x 30 and carbon neutrality by 2030 goals (Climate Action, Energy, Electric Vehicles, and Mobility) and four of which are focused on actions that create a sustainable natural environment and adapting to a warming climate (Water, Climate Adaptation & Sea Level Rise, Natural Environment, and Zero Waste). The Work Plan is similarly divided between climate-focused and sustainability-focused priorities. Climate Action Covering the S/CAP Areas of Climate Action, Energy, Electric Vehicles, and Mobility, this section reports on progress based on the Work Plan Climate Action Priority areas. P1. Grid Modernization The focus of Priority 1 is to complete the grid modernization plan and begin construction to increase reliability and transformer capacity for electrification. The City’s grid modernization project is meant to prepare the grid for widespread electrification in support of the S/CAP 80 x 30 goal, as well as to improve reliability, replace aging infrastructure, and modernize the grid to accommodate higher penetration of solar, storage, and other technologies. The first phase of the grid modernization study is complete. Design of the first neighborhood upgrade for grid modernization is underway, with construction expected to start in early 2024 and be completed in the first half of 2024. Staff also began development of a Reliability and Resiliency strategic plan, which is divided into four components. In September, Staff discussed the scope of the study with the Utilities Advisory Commission.8 Two components of the study are expected to be completed by the end of 2023, but aspects related to home and neighborhood resiliency and efficient electrification will extend into 2024. P2. Launch Programs The focus of Priority 2 is to launch effective programs for emissions reductions with the highest impact and lowest cost such as single-family electrification, strategic promotion of EVs, commercial rooftop HVAC, and expanded transportation alternatives. 8 Utilities Advisory Commission, September 6, 2023; Agenda Item #4, SR #2308-1934, https://www.cityofpaloalto.org/files/assets/public/v/1/agendas-minutes-reports/agendas-minutes/utilities- advisory-commission/archived-agenda-and-minutes/agendas-and-minutes-2023/09-sep-2023/09-06-2023-uac- packet.pdf Item 11 Item 11 Staff Report        Item 11: Staff Report Pg. 4  Packet Pg. 458 of 511  P2.1. Residential Emissions Reduction •Staff launched the Full-Service Heat Pump Water Heater (HPWH) Pilot Program in March 2023. As of September 28, 2023, 115 residents had signed contracts to participate, with another 225 in the assessment / estimation process. New interest in the program is 5-15 new signups per week, but a significantly higher rate of new signups is needed to generate 20 installations per week, the amount needed to reach 1,000 HPWH installations in a single year. Staff continues to expand outreach. Staff is analyzing how to transition the pilot to a full-scale program and expand it to include all gas appliances. A more up-to-date status of the HPWH Pilot Program can be found in Attachment A: HPWH Next Steps, which was presented to the S/CAP Ad Hoc Committee on October 20, 2023. •Staff held 22 Electric Vehicle (EV) and e-bike workshops and events in 2023 so far, with another 8 planned. Events have included two EV Expos, three financial incentive clinics in multiple languages (Spanish, Vietnamese, Russian, Mandarin and Cantonese), a month-long EV discount campaign, two e-bike workshops, an e-bike test ride event, and two e-bike discount campaigns. •Staff continues to build out EV infrastructure and expand access in affordable housing and multi-family buildings. Currently there are active EV charger projects in progress or completed in 18 multi-family buildings, representing 948 units (nearly 9% of multi-family units). •A whole home electrification program is currently in design and expected to be available in early 2024. P2.2. Non-Residential Emissions Reduction •In September 2023, staff presented ideas and concepts to the S/CAP Ad Hoc Committee and S/CAP Working Group for a commercial pilot program to electrify heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) units. Staff is working on economic analysis and program design, with the goal of releasing an RFP for a program operator by early 2024. P2.3. Citywide Mobility •In March 2023, the Office of Transportation launched Palo Alto Link, an eco-friendly rideshare service. As of September 2023, Palo Alto Link has completed 23,700 rides with 2,960 unique riders. Since its launch in March, the average number of rides per week has increased steadily, completing 47% more rides in August than March. Palo Alto Link ridership is high among those who traditionally lack high-quality mobility options, with 40% of riders qualifying for discounted fares, including youth, seniors, and low-income and disabled individuals. Palo Alto Link is encouraging residents to choose shared transit over high-emissions emissions single occupancy vehicles, leading to an estimated 43% reduction in CO2 emissions, assuming passengers are choosing Palo Alto Link in lieu of private single occupancy vehicles to complete the same trip. •In June 2023, Council approved a contract with the consultant Kittelson & Associates to assist with the update of the City’s Bicycle and Pedestrian Transportation Plan, which Item 11 Item 11 Staff Report        Item 11: Staff Report Pg. 5  Packet Pg. 459 of 511  was last updated in 2012. Entitled “Active Palo Alto”, the project is underway and is expected to be completed in 2025. •Improving safety for vulnerable road users is key to reducing vehicle miles traveled (VMT) and growing green travel mode shares. In June 2023, Council approved a $200,000 Safe Streets for All grant agreement with the Federal Highway Administration to develop a road safety plan - Safer Palo Alto - using the Safe System Approach. The Safe System Approach involves improving the safety culture, increasing collaboration across all safety stakeholders, and refocusing transportation system design and operation on anticipating human mistakes and lessening impact forces to reduce crash severity and save lives. Due to similar project timelines, coordination of community engagement for both Active Palo Alto and Safer Palo Alto is ongoing, including sharing a road safety survey and interactive map that are available online through November 2023. With support from consultant Fehr & Peers, Safer Palo Alto plan development is expected to be completed in late 2024. P2.4. Municipal Electrification •The Facility Electrification Assessment Plan is almost complete. Staff is currently evaluating the feasibility of electrifying equipment at City Facilities each time aging equipment requires replacement. •Staff has identified City internal combustion engine fleet vehicles that can be replaced with electric vehicles. There are currently 14 EVs in the City fleet. An additional 21 EVs are planned to be added in FY 2024, and Council is expected to consider approving funding for additional EV replacements during the FY 2024 midyear budget review. •There are currently 92 City owned EV chargers, for a total of 127 charging ports. Only 6 of those chargers are dedicated to City vehicles, while the rest are primarily for public use. Staff is currently testing a low-cost EV charger solution that could be used for future employee charging locations. P2.5. EV Strategic Plan •In June 2023, Council approved policy guidelines for an Electric Vehicle Strategic Plan. Staff discussed the scope of the study with the S/CAP Ad Hoc Committee and S/CAP Working Group in August 2023 and released a consultant RFP soon after. The goal is to get a consulting contract approved by Council by the end of 2023. This plan is part of the S/CAP Funding Study (see P5. Funding Needs and Sources). P3. Build Awareness and Confidence The focus of Priority 3 is to build community awareness and confidence in electrification through engagement, addressing concerns, and program results. •As the focus of the S/CAP work has shifted from development to implementation, the S/CAP Ad Hoc Committee and S/CAP Working Group have been the primary venues for public engagement. In addition, Staff has developed and is implementing a comprehensive outreach plan for the Full-Service Heat Pump Water Heater Pilot Program. Staff is developing an Electrification Outreach Plan as well as a comprehensive Item 11 Item 11 Staff Report        Item 11: Staff Report Pg. 6  Packet Pg. 460 of 511  S/CAP Implementation Outreach Plan, including development of a community toolkit to engage volunteers to help promote the City’s sustainability programs. •Youth outreach and engagement is a key component of both the Electrification Outreach Plan and the overall sustainability and climate action communications strategy. Staff initiated a “Climate Action & Youth Engagement” special project to develop a strategy to engage youth in implementation of the S/CAP and its associated initiatives, and partner with Palo Alto Unified School District to develop a strategy to educate PAUSD students about the benefits of climate action and the various City programs supporting climate action. Staff has also had on-going discussions with leadership of the Palo Alto Student Climate Coalition on best ways to partner on sustainability and climate action. •Staff continues to publish a monthly Climate Action Blog and a Sustainability Newsletter. The Sustainability Newsletter has a 51.6% open rate, which is the percentage of readers that open the e-mail you send them. The average open rate for electronic newsletters is 21%. •Staff worked with students from a Stanford University Sustainable Cities course to establish baseline data on Palo Alto residents and business owners’ opinions on climate change in general, knowledge of the S/CAP, and priorities for S/CAP implementation. Staff also included sustainability questions in the annual citywide survey. P4. Additional Emissions Reductions The focus of Priority 4 is to identify an additional 9% in emissions reduction opportunities to achieve 80 x 30. •Staff is developing a comprehensive plan to gather ideas from community members and experts about new technologies and potential approaches to additional emissions reductions in Palo Alto. Staff has held several meetings with Stanford University and more work will be done when the S/CAP Funding Study is completed. •As part of the S/CAP Funding Study, staff plans on identifying potential building electrification measures for commercial and multi-family buildings and to prioritize the most cost-effective approaches to achieving the additional emissions reductions needed to achieve 80 x 30. P5. Funding Needs and Sources The focus of Priority 5 is to identify, by 2024, funding needed and potential funding sources for full scale implementation of the highest impact emissions reductions. •Staff released an RFP for a consultant to complete a study of the cost of achieving 80 x 30 and potential funding and financing sources. This study will include development of additional emissions reduction measures, particularly in the non-residential and multi- family sectors, and an EV Strategic Plan. As part of this study, staff will also develop a City resource needs assessments. The study will build on the completed Affordability Study model, which was developed by a consultant for City staff use. •Staff is also working to retain consulting services to develop a model of the gas system in order to conduct analyses of future gas infrastructure requirements and evaluate Item 11 Item 11 Staff Report        Item 11: Staff Report Pg. 7  Packet Pg. 461 of 511  potential impacts of future modifications to the gas system. Utilities staff has started to prepare an RFP to retain consulting services and anticipates commencing work on the model development during the first half of 2024. A staff member has been assigned to manage the development of the RFP, but staff are still being identified for management of the gas conversion program. Sustainability The Sustainability section of the work plan includes the following S/CAP Areas: Water, Climate Adaptation & Sea Level Rise, Natural Environment, and Zero Waste. Water: Further Water Conservation The near-term focus for water is reducing water consumption while exploring ways to capture and store water and increase the availability and use of recycled water. •So far this year, the City has held 8 landscape workshops on topics including rainwater harvesting, drought-tolerant landscape design, lawn conversion, and information on available rebates. The Utilities Department tabled at 5 neighborhood events to educate residents on water efficiency programs and rebates. The Utilities Department also provides the WaterSmart water management tool which provides residents information about their water consumption and personalized water conservation recommendations. To date, 16% of customers have accessed the portal. •Staff is planning on building a salt removal facility for the Regional Water Quality Control Plant. Design for the facility is complete. Council approved the finance plan and going out to bid for construction in 2024. •Staff is currently developing a “One Water” portfolio for Palo Alto, with input from community stakeholders and the Utilities Advisory Commission, which includes stormwater, recycled water, on-site reuse, conservation, and groundwater. Climate Adaptation and Sea Level Rise: Prepare for Climate Change The near-term focus for Climate Adaptation and Sea Level Rise is to develop and adopt a multi- year Sea Level Rise Adaptation Plan and minimize wildland fire hazards through Foothills Fire Management Plan implementation, zoning, and collaborating with Fire agencies. •The Sea Level Rise Adaptation Plan will be coordinated with the levee improvements around Palo Alto’s Bay shoreline (known as the Shoreline II Project), and the Palo Alto Flood Basin Tide Gate Replacement Project. Staff is currently reviewing a memo from the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers on Palo Alto specific conditions, which could affect funding opportunities. Concurrently, staff is working on sea level rise and shallow groundwater mapping tools for staff planning use. •The Newell Road Bridge Replacement project is led by City staff in partnership with East Palo Alto, Valley Water, and the San Francisquito Creek Joint Powers Authority (SFCJPA). Replacing the Newell Road Bridge is the first step in a series of Reach 2 projects necessary to minimize flooding risk from San Francisquito Creek. Staff is working to secure right-of-way certifications, permits, and Caltrans funding through the Highway Bridge Program, to begin construction in spring 2024. Item 11 Item 11 Staff Report        Item 11: Staff Report Pg. 8  Packet Pg. 462 of 511  •Staff continues to work with the SFCJPA and its member agencies to coordinate other Reach 2 projects with the Newell Road Bridge Replacement project. The remaining projects are on hold pending creek model redesign based on recent winter storm results. SFCJPA hired a consultant for a third-party review of the hydraulic model for the Reach 2 project design work in September. •Staff is working on various efforts related to improving the City’s Foothills fire management planning in collaboration with Santa Clara County and other allied agencies and entities. Efforts include not only emergency planning, but also early warning technology, and updating operational and procedural elements within the City organization to mitigate the risks associated with a fire in the foothills. The Office of Emergency Services (OES) continues to participate in the South Bay Incident Management Team, lead a multi-departmental Foothills Fire Management Plan group, and lead the Silicon Valley Homeland Security Coordination Group. Equipment improvements include early fire detection, thanks to a partnership with alertwildfire.org. OES is also working on the deployment of solar battery back-up improvements in key locations to keep equipment online when electricity may be disrupted or disconnected during a fire. Natural Environment: Enhance Biodiversity The near-term focus for Natural Environment is to increase Palo Alto’s Tree Canopy, reduce pesticide usage in parks and open space preserves, and support the Green Stormwater Infrastructure Plan and incorporate it in municipal projects. •In June 2023, Council held a study session reviewing the implementation of the revised Tree Protection Ordinance to date. Staff is evaluating feedback from the study session and will review potential improvements to the ordinance with the Planning and Transportation Commission and the Parks and Recreation Commission before returning to Council. Zero Waste: Support Waste Reduction The near-term focus for Zero Waste is to encourage food waste reduction, prevention, and recovery and provide waste prevention technical assistance; eliminate single-use disposable containers; and prioritize domestic processing of recyclable materials. •Staff launched a new Zero Waste Living outreach campaign. New educational information was incorporated into utility bill inserts, newspaper printed and digital ads, and social media. •Staff is developing waste prevention outreach tools and technical assistance for the commercial sector. The program will launch in 2024. •Staff is evaluating the cost and effectiveness of the current Deconstruction and Construction Materials Management Ordinance. In collaboration with multiple departments, staff is considering expanding the types of covered projects or increasing diversion requirements, as well as considering including new requirements in the next Reach Code Cycle to be implemented in January 2026.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY The City’s Investment Policy1 (Policy) requires that staff report to Council quarterly on the City’s portfolio composition and performance compared to the Council-adopted Policy; discuss overall compliance with the City’s Investment Policy; and provide recommendations, if any, for Policy changes. In addition, staff provides a detailed list of all securities and reports on the City’s ability to meet expenditure requirements over the next six months. This report is to inform Council of the City’s investment portfolio performance as of the first quarter ending September 30, 2023 and to disclose staff’s cash flow projections for the next six months. Staff expects that the City will have sufficient funds or liquidity to meet expenditure requirements for the next six months. The portfolio details, activities, and performance are discussed below, and additional information is provided in the attachments. During the first quarter staff complied with all aspects of the Investment Policy. The Investment Policy limits callable agency securities to 25 percent of the par value of the portfolio. As of the end of the first quarter, investments in callable agency securities exceeded this limit by 1.62% due to the overall decline in the portfolio for the planned prepayment of the City’s Fiscal Year 2024 Unfunded Accrued Liability (UAL) pension cost for active employees to the Public Employers’ Retirement System (PERS) and other cash needs driven by increased capital expenditures. Per the Policy, this is not considered a violation of the Policy since a later increase or decrease in percentage resulting from a change in portfolio’s assets or values shall not constitute a violation of that restriction (limit). Staff is monitoring the percentage of callable agency securities to ensure that the percentage limitations will be restored as investments mature in each category and/or the portfolio increases which as of the writing of the report the latter has begun to happen. Item 12 Item 12 Staff Report        Item 12: Staff Report Pg. 1  Packet Pg. 476 of 511  ANALYSIS The City’s investment portfolio is summarized in Graph 1 and detailed in the Investments by Fund Report (Attachment B). The Investments by Fund Report groups the portfolio’s securities by investment type and includes details of the investment issuer, date of maturity, current market value, the book and face (par) value, and the weighted average maturity of each type of investment and of the entire portfolio. Due to rounding, the above graph's percentage total is greater than 100 percent. The par value of the City’s portfolio is $575.6 million; in comparison, last quarter it was $623.2 million. The $47.6 million portfolio decline since the last quarter results from timing of cash flows from the prepayment of the City’s Fiscal Year 2024 Unfunded Accrued Liability (UAL) pension cost for active employees to the Public Employers’ Retirement System (PERS) totaling $41.6 million, major revenue receipt due to seasonality timing, an extra pay period costs in the first quarter, and delayed reimbursement of State Revolving Fund (SRF) loans for Wastewater Treatment capital projects. As noted in the FY 2023 Q4 Investment Activity Report, delayed SRF reimbursement from the state, along with increased capital expenditures in the Wastewater Treatment Fund is expected to impact and constrain the City’s cash position. Administrative Services and Public Works staff continues to monitor this activity closely to ensure the fund’s solvency. The City expects to save $1.4 million by paying the UAL in advance and is partially offset by the loss of approximately $0.8 million in interest income in the City’s portfolio. The net citywide savings of prepaying the UAL cost is $0.6 million. The saving is a consequence of PERS’ ability to earn interest earlier and at a higher rate than the City’s portfolio could realize. Without this prepayment, after factoring in $11.6 million in UAL payments that would have been made in the first quarter, the portfolio would have increased by $36.0 million, compared to the $47.6 million U.S. Treasury 1.2% U.S. Agency 35.4% U.S. Municipal/State 38.4% Negotiable CD 8.3% U.S. Corporate 5.1% Supranational 7.6% Liquid Accts. 4.1% Graph 1: Investments by Type -$575.6M (Par Value) Item 12 Item 12 Staff Report        Item 12: Staff Report Pg. 2  Packet Pg. 477 of 511  decline noted above. In addition, due to seasonality, the first quarter major tax revenues receipts are lower (e.g., sales, transient occupancy, and utility user’s taxes) and property tax being received by the City in the second, third, and fourth quarters. The portfolio consists of $23.8 million in liquid accounts and $551.8 million in various investment types as detailed in the following Table 1. The Investment Policy requires that at least $50 million be maintained in securities maturing in less than two years. The portfolio includes $152.2 million in investments maturing in less than two years, comprising 26.4% of the City’s investment portfolio. In addition, the Investment Policy allows up to 30% of the portfolio to be invested in securities with maturities beyond five years; actual at the end of the second quarter is 26.6% of the portfolio. The current market value of the portfolio is 90.5% of the book value. The market value of securities fluctuates, depending on how interest rates perform. When interest rates decrease, the market value of the securities in the City’s portfolio will likely increase; likewise, when interest rates increase, the market value of the securities will likely decrease. Understanding and showing market values is not only a reporting requirement, but essential to knowing the principal risks in actively buying and selling securities. It is important to note, however, that the City’s practice is to buy and hold investments to maturity, therefore changes in market price do not affect the City’s investment principal. The market valuation is provided by U.S. Bank, which is the City’s safekeeping agent. The average life to maturity of the investment portfolio is 3.52 years compared to 3.57 years last quarter. The Investment Policy states “Should the ratio of the market value of the portfolio to the book value of the portfolio fall below 95%, the Administrative Services Department will report this to the City Council within a reasonable time frame and evaluate whether there is any risk of holding any of the securities to maturity.” In the prior five quarters the market value fell below 95%; it was 93.5% in the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2022 (CMR 139982), 89.7% in the first quarter (CMR 140013) of fiscal year 2023, 90.7% in the second quarter of fiscal year 2023 (CMR 2301-08654), 89.6% in the third quarter of fiscal year 2023 (CMR 2212-05205) and 91.9% in the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2023 (CMR 2307-17836) . The market rate this first quarter is 90.5% of book value. Interest rates on new investments have fluctuated so the expectation is the market value of the portfolio is expected to stay in the current range in the coming quarters. To minimize risk of loss for investment principal due to lower market values, the City’s investment practice is to buy and hold investments to maturity; in the instances where there is a need to sell securities for contingency cash flow planning, the City’s practice is to sell securities that are above the market value. Investments Made During the First Quarter During the first quarter, $21.9 million of securities with an average yield of 4.0% matured. During the same period, there were no new investment purchases to increase liquidity to meet expected cash needs. As expected, with the exception of this quarter, as interest rates rose on new Item 12 Item 12 Staff Report        Item 12: Staff Report Pg. 3  Packet Pg. 478 of 511  investments, the City’s portfolio’s average yield has begun to gradually rise. In the prior two fiscal years or during the height of the COVID-19 economic closures, the portfolio’s interest rate had steadily declined. The City’s short-term money market and pool account increased by $15.1 million compared to the third quarter of Fiscal Year 2022. Staff continually monitors the City’s short-term cash flow needs and adjusts liquid funds to meet them. Availability of Funds for the Next Six Months Normally, the flow of revenues from the City’s utility billings and General Fund sources is enough to provide funds for ongoing expenditures in those respective funds. Projections indicate that for the City’s cashflow, an overall growth in the portfolio of $10.1 million is expected over the coming six months due to routine business activities. This reflects expected receipts of $355.6 million and expenditures of $345.5 million over the next six months. As of September 30, 2023, the City had $23.8 million deposited in the Local Agency Investment Fund (LAIF) and a money market account that could be withdrawn on a daily basis. Though as of writing of this report (October 26th), after the large payments discussed above, the $23.8 million has increased to $53.6 million which includes $7.2 million is investment securities sold prior to maturity. Since the sales resulting in the $7.2 million was dependent on a worse-case cash needs scenario that never materialized, a third has already been reinvested with an average yield being higher by 0.85% than the average yield of the sold securities. The remaining amount is expected to be also reinvested in the coming months. In addition, investments totaling $26.0 million will mature between October 1, 2023 and March 31, 2024. Based on the above, staff expect that the City will have sufficient funds or liquidity to meet expenditure requirements for the next six months. Compliance with City Investment Policy During the fourth quarter, staff complied with all aspects of the Investment Policy. Attachment C lists the major restrictions in the City’s Investment Policy compared with the portfolio’s actual performance. Investment Yields Interest income on an accrual basis, for the General Fund, for the fourth quarter was $3.5 million; compared to the prior year’s first quarter of $2.2 million or $1.0 million higher than the prior year’s quarter due to higher yield investment environment. As of September 30, 2023, the yield to maturity of the City’s portfolio was 2.20%; in the prior quarter it was 2.31%. The lack of new security purchases in this quarter resulted in this lower yield. In the first quarter, LAIF’s average yield was 3.42% while the average yield on the two-year and five-year Treasury bonds was approximately 4.92% and 4.31%, respectively. In comparison, in the prior quarter LAIF had 3.01% yield and the two-year and five-year Treasury bonds yields were higher at 4.26% and 3.69%. Item 12 Item 12 Staff Report        Item 12: Staff Report Pg. 4  Packet Pg. 479 of 511  Historically, the City’s portfolio yield has outperformed the two-year and five-year Treasury bond rates and did so again several years ago; this is an expected occurrence during economic downturns. However, during economic recovery periods, interest rates rise, and the City’s portfolio yield is expected to be lower, which is the current financial environment. As the City’s laddered portfolio investments mature in the next year or two, funds will continue to be reinvested and trends will follow the economic patterns. Graph 2 shows the City’s yields and interest earnings for the past 21+ years. City’s portfolio duration is 3.52 years. Yield Trends The Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC), since March 2020, has raised the federal funds rate 11 times totaling 5.25% with the first occurring on March 16, 2022. Prior to this the rate was near zero. To mitigate the persistent elevated inflation rate from the peak of 9.1% in June 2022 to a to 3.7% in September 2023 with a 2% target. There was a softer decline in energy prices primarily driven by a rebound in fuel prices, offset by slowing inflationary pressures in other categories like food, new vehicles, apparel, medical care commodities, and transportation services. The expectation is FOMC might do one additional federal funds rate interest rate increase but ultimately that will depend on whether the inflation rate is still elevated above the target rate. The FOMC states “Recent indicators suggest that economic activity has been expanding at a solid pace. Job gains have slowed in recent months but remain strong, and the unemployment rate has remained low.” Previously and currently, they had stated the U.S. banking system is sound 5.88% 5.00% 4.17% 4.54% City of Palo Alto 2.71% 1.80%1.93%1.66% 2.20% 3.65% 1.41% 0.81%0.25% 2 Yr.

These include cash in the City’s regular bank account with US Bank and Wells Fargo. A description of the City’s banking relationships can be found in City Council Staff Report ID # 78587 and ID # 114028. The bond proceeds, reserves, and debt service payments being held by the City’s fiscal agents are subject to the requirements of the underlying debt indenture. The trustees for the bond funds are U.S. Bank and California Asset Management Program (CAMP). Bond funds with U.S. Bank are invested in federal agency and money market mutual funds that consist exclusively of U.S. Treasury securities. Bond funds in CAMP are invested in banker’s acceptance notes, certificates of deposit, commercial paper, federal agency securities, and repurchase agreements. The most recent data on funds held by the fiscal agent is as of September 30, 2023. In January 2017, the City established a Section 115 Irrevocable Trust (Public Agencies Post- Employment Benefits Trust) administered by Public Agency Retirement Services (PARS). This fund is governed by the City’s Retiree Benefit Policy as opposed to the Investment Policy; however, it is discussed in this report to present the full picture of the City’s investments. It is the City’s intent to prefund pension costs and began to address the Net Pension Liabilities (NPL) as calculated by Governmental Accounting Standards Board Pronouncement No. 68 (GASB 68). The Section 115 Trust offered by PARS has five portfolios from which to choose in making investments of City funds. In February 2023, the City Council revised the City’s portfolio selection from “Moderately Conservative” to “Moderate”, shifting from the second most conservative to third. Additional information on the establishment of this trust can be found in City Council Staff Report ID # 75539. Through September 30, 2023, principal investment contributions of $54.4 million made over time since May 2017, has increased to $56.4 million or by $2.0 million and the net return for one and five years has been 7.6% and 2.8% respectively. Since inception, $2.5 million net earnings have been realized with $0.56 million in administrative expenses. FISCAL/RESOURCE IMPACT This is an information report.
