PROJECT IMPACTS. The following impacts were determined by the City of Palo Alto and identified in the FEIR to be impacts directly resulting from the Proj ect. The letters and numbers assigned to each impact below correspond to the letters and numbers assigned to each impact in the FEIR itself. A. Transportation. :Impact B.l: The Project will result in a significant adverse level of service impact (critical movement delay and demand-to-capacity ratio) to the intersection of Charleston Road and Alma Street during the PM peak hour. Mitigation Measure B.l-l: Intersection LOS Impacts. The City of Palo Alto is planning to implement traffic-adaptive signal technology at a series of intersections, including the Charleston Road/Alma Street intersection, as recommended in the Charleston/Arastradero Road Corridor Study. The City of Palo Alto has adopted a fee program and included funding in its budget for this program. Mitigation Measure B.1-2: Transportation Demand Management. The TKCJL Project shall implement a Transportation Demand Management ("TOM") Plan for employees, designed to achieve a 15 percent alternative mode-use for employees to address local traffic concerns. The Plan shall include, at minimum: • a guaranteed ride home program • carpool parking • bicycle lockers • showers • a transportation information kiosk 1 060622 syn 0120166 • on-site transportation coordinators • on-site supporting amenities to eliminate the need for midday trips, including a cafeteria, childcare/preschool, recreational and athletic facilities, automatic teller machines, postage and mailing outlet, and on-site sundry shop. An annual survey of employees shall be conducted to determine the success or failure of TDM measures. A summary report of the annual employee commute survey shall be submitted to the City of Palo Alto. :Impact B.2: Without specific improvements to an existing mid-block crosswalk on Fabian Way, a significant operational safety hazard from increased pedestrian traffic would occur. Mitigation Measure B.2-1: Off-Site Pedestrian Facility. Markings and other improvements to the existing mid-block crosswalk across Fabian Way at the northern edge of the BUILD Site shall be installed to the satisfaction of the Department of Planning and Community Environment prior to occupancy of the BUILD and/or TKCJL Projects. These improvements include: • Removal of several on-street parking spaces and installation of a raised median to provide an American with Disabilities Act ("ADA") compatible pedestrian refuge area • Marking of the crosswalk with white diagonal lines or longitudinal lines parallel to traffic flow to increase the visibility of the crosswalk • Advance warning signs alerting motorists of the crosswalk ahead • Modification of the existing curbs on each side of the crosswalk to be ADA compatible :Impact B.3: Left turn access into the TKCJL Site from Charleston Road would create an adverse queuing condition and/or unsafe turning movements. Mitigation Measure B.3-1: Site Access Impacts and Queuing on Charleston Road. Allowed turning movements at the two access driveways on Charleston Road shall be modified to avoid identified queuing impacts on southbound Charleston Road to the satisfaction of the Transportation Division of the Department of 2 060623 syn 0120166 Planning and Community Environment. Left turn access to the site from Charleston Road shall be prohibited. Signage and channelization improvements to preclude such movements shall be designed and submitted to the Public Works Department and the Transportation Division of the Department of Planning and Community Environment for review and approval prior to approval of the Final Map for the Project. Xmpact B.4: Operation of a loading space on the TKCJL Site adjacent to San Antonio Road could result in a traffic safety impact. Mitigation Measure B.4-1: Loading Area. The proposed loading area on San Antonio Road shall be designed to avoid traffic safety impacts. The loading area will only receive trucks between the hours of 10 AM and 3 PM. Trucks using the loading area shall be limited to right turns out to the dedicated right turn lane onto East Charleston Road, a City truck route. Plans for the loading area and adjacent sidewalk and traffic lane shall include signage, striping, materials, dimensions, sidewalks, and landscaping and shall be submitted for review and approval by the Public Works Department and the Transportation Division of the Department of Planning and Community Environment, prior to approval of the Final Map. Standard City sidewalk configurations shall be followed along the San Antonio Road frontage consistent with the current sidewalk configuration along the San Antonio Road frontage. Signage shall indicate that the loading zone is to be maintained by the property owner and a maintenance agreement with the City shall be prepared and submitted for review and approval by the Public Works Department prior to approval of the Final Map. Xmpact B.5: The demand for parking during occasional special events on weekday evenings could exceed on-site parking supply resulting in parking spillover onto adjacent streets where there is limited allowed parking. Parked cars could block driveways and affect vehicle circulation in these areas. Mitigation Measure B.5-1: Special Event Parking. For special events on weekday evenings or other events that could exceed parking supply on the TKCJL Site, notice of the location of off-site special event parking shall be provided to the Transportation Division of the Department of Planning and Community Environment at least two weeks prior to the special 3 060623 syn 0120166 event. The notice shall include the date of the special event, the parking lot location, number of spaces available, and whether shuttles will be used. If an agreement is made between TKCJL and an off-site facility that covers several events or a specific time period, notification for individual special events may be waived. Documentation of any agreements and their time limits shall be provided to the satisfaction of the Transportation Division of the Department of Planning and Community Environment. If parking is provided on a nearby site, attendees can reach the TKCJL Site on foot. For any off-site parking that is located at a distance from the site, van shuttles shall be used to transport attendees to the event. Other measures to minimize parking impacts to nearby neighborhoods may include using temporary signage for events or TKCJL personnel to direct attendees to off-site or alternate parking sites. F:IND:ING: Implementation of the mitigation measures described above is feasible and would avoid or reduce level of service, queuing, traffic safety and overflow parking impacts from the Project to less than significant levels. B. Noise. :Impact C .1 : would be exposed levels identified Proposed residential uses on to exterior noise levels in as acceptable in the City Plan, Noise Ordinance, and the Comprehensive Code. the BUILD Si te excess of the of Palo Alto State Building Mitigation Measure C .1-1: Exterior noise levels. Final building plans shall demonstrate how building massing will be used to shield outdoor activity areas from traffic noise and industrial noise sources surrounding the Project's perimeter wherever possible. Common outdoor activity areas shall be designated within the acoustically sheltered portions of the site to the satisfaction of the Building Official and the Director of Planning and Community Environment. Mitigation Measure C.1-2: Interior noise levels. Prior to the issuance of building permits, detailed acoustical analyses, 4 060623 syn 0120166 in conformance with Section 1208 of the 1998 California Building Code, shall be conducted as part of final design for the proposed multi-family residential uses. The Project shall incorporate sound insulation treatments into the buildings so as to achieve an interior Ldn . of 45 dBA or less with the windows closed. Such treatments may include, but would not be limited to acoustically rated windows and doors, acoustical caulking at all exterior wall penetrations and noise control treatments for all air transmission paths associated with mechanical ventilation systems. Forced-air mechanical ventilation, or air- conditioning, shall be incorporated as necessary to provide habi table interior environments wi th the windows closed, satisfactory to the City Building Official. ~mpaot C.2: Proposed residential development and community and recreational facilities on the TKCJL Site would be exposed to noise levels in excess of the levels identified as acceptable in the City of Palo Alto Comprehensive Plan and the State Building Code. Mitigation Measure C.2-1: Exterior noise levels. Final building plans shall demonstrate how building massing and a six foot sound wall adjacent to the proposed preschool areas will be used to shield outdoor activity and gathering areas from traffic noise at the Project's perimeter to the satisfaction of the Building Official and the Director of Planning and Community Environment. Mitigation Measure C.2-2: Interior noise levels. Prior to the issuance of building permits, detailed acoustical analyses, in conformance with Section 1208 of the 1998 California Building Code, shall be conducted as part of final design for the proposed residential and preschool uses. The Project shall incorporate sound insulation treatments into the buildings so as to achieve an interior Ldn of 45 dBA or less with the windows closed. Such treatments may include, but would not be limited to acoustically rated windows and doors, acoustical caulking at all exterior wall penetrations, and noise control treatments for all air transmission paths associated with mechanical ventilation systems. Incorporate forced-air mechanical ventilation, or air-conditioning, as necessary to provide habi table interior environments with the windows closed, satisfactory to the City Building Official. 5 060623 syn 0120166 :Impact C. 3: The proposed Proj ect could expose sensi ti ve receptors to substantial temporary increases in noise levels during construction. Mitigation Measure C.3-1: Construction Noise. Allowable hours and construction noise levels for construction shall be consistent with the City's Noise Ordinance and construction equipment will be operated and maintained in accordance with requirements outlined in Section III. C. (3) Noise Mitigation and Avoidance Measures. :Impact C.4: Demolition of the existing building on the BUILD Site could potentially generate perceptible groundborne vibration levels at the adjacent Space Systems/Loral facility. Mitigation Measure C.4-1: Demolition Vibration Coordination. The BUILD Project will coordinate the timing of use of hoe-rams and any other large impact tools (such as a demolition ball) with Space Systems/Loral. A Vibration Coordinator, and/or the Construction Manager, will inform Space Systems/Loral of the timing of planned demolition activities and coordinate with Space Systems/Loral on a routine basis. Initially, the use of large impact tools would be started at a location on the property as far as possible from Space Systems/Loral and monitored. If vibration levels are found to substantially effect operations at Space Systems/Loral, a detailed coordination plan to avoid impacts on sensitive Space Systems/Loral activities shall be developed. Coordination with Space Systems/Loral shall continue as the impact generating activity moves closer to adjacent facilities. In the event large impact tools cause vibration that is deemed excessive by Space Systems/Loral, alternative demolition methods that generate acceptable ground vibration levels shall be evaluated and may be required by the Director of Planning and Community Environment and the Building Official. F:IRD:INGI Implementation of the Mitigation Measures described above is feasible and would avoid or reduce the noise impacts to future residents and construction noise and vibration impacts to a less than significant level. 6 060623 syn 0120166 c. Air Quality Impacts. Impact D.1: Construction activities related to the proposed Proj ect, particularly generation of construction dust, could result in significant short-term air quality impacts. Mitigation Measure D.1-1: Demolition Impacts. The BAAQMD has prepared a list of feasible construction dust control measures that can reduce construction impacts to a less than significant level. The following dust control measures shall be implementation by Project contractors during demolition and shall be reflected as notes on the Project plans prior to issuance of demolition permits: • Water to control dust generation during demolition of structures and break-up of pavement. Concrete crusher should add water to material at point (s) of entry and whenever material will be dropped or dumped • Cover all trucks hauling demolition debris from the site • Use dust-proof chutes to load debris into trucks whenever feasible Mitigation Measure D.1-2: Construction Impacts. The following construction practices shall be implemented during all phases of construction on the Project site and shall be reflected as notes on the Proj ect plans prior to issuance of grading or building permits: • Water all active construction areas at least twice daily • Water or cover stockpiles of debris, soil, sand or other materials that can be blown by the wind • Cover all trucks hauling soil, sand, and other loose materials or require all trucks to maintain at least two feet of freeboard • Sweep daily (preferably with water sweepers) all paved access roads, parking areas and staging areas at construction sites • Sweep streets daily (preferably with water sweepers) if visible soil material is carried onto adjacent public streets • Hydroseed or apply non-toxic soil stabilizers to inactive construction areas 7 060623 syn 0120166 • Enclose, cover, water twice daily or apply non-toxic soil binders to exposed stockpiles (dirt, sand, etc.) • Limit traffic speeds on unpaved roads to 15 miles per hour • Install erosion control measures to prevent silt runoff to public roadways • Replant vegetation in disturbed areas as quickly as possible FINDING a The proposed Project will not result in significant long-term regional or local air quality impacts. Implementation of the above mitigation measures is feasible and would avoid or reduce short-term construction related air quality impacts to a less than significant level. D. Hazards And Hazardous Materials. Impact E. 1: Implementation of the proposed Comprehensive Plan change and specific development proposed on the BUILD Site and TKCJL Site would allow residential and community center development adjacent to or on properties where releases of volatile organic compounds have impacted soil and groundwater. In the event volatile organic compounds from these releases were allowed to build up under and enter residential or community center structures this could result in health hazards to future residents on both sites or to users of the TKCJL Site. Mitigation Measures E.l-l (BUILD Site) and E.1-2 (TKCJL Site) : On-Site Contamination Impact. The BUILD and TKCJL Projects shall both implement risk management measures as a part of site design and during and after construction as described in the Final Risk Management Plans for each site. These Final Risk Management Plans shall be approved by the Regional Water Quality Control Board. Measures in the plans are provided to avoid possible build up of volatile organic compound vapors in residential buildings and measures to avoid construction impacts. These measures include, but are not limited to: • Groundwater Use. Local groundwater on the site shall not be used for any purpose (including domestic and construction purposes) • Vapor Barriers. Vapor barriers (i. e., liners) shall be installed beneath all buildings, including buildings constructed over above-ground parking garages and crawl 8 060623 8yn 0l20166 • • • • • • • spaces Ventilation. All future residences shall be placed over parking garages or crawl spaces that are ventilated with fresh air Elevator Pits and Stairwells. No below-grade structures, such as elevator pits, shall be constructed below five feet below the ground surface Evaluation of Risk Mitigation Measures. Prior to occupancy, air samples shall be collected with ventilation systems running and concurrently from outside air at locations considered representative of background conditions Measures to Reduce Migration of Impacted Groundwater. The lateral migration of impacted groundwater along underground utility lines shall be avoided by the use of low-permeability fill or cutoff features Construction Plan Reviews. Construction plans shall be reviewed by a California registered professional engineer for conformance to the requirements of this RMP prior to construction. Copies of each Construction Plan Review Report shall be submitted to the RWQCB for formal comment and to the City of Palo Alto for review and approval. Construction Measures. The BUILD Project includes provisions such as the preparation of Health and Safety Plans and soil management protocols during construction Post-Construction Maintenance and Monitoring Notification of Future Residents (Covenant and Environmental Restriction) • Annual Monitoring Review • Contingency Plan for Modification/Adjustment of Ventilation Systems • Trust Account for Post-Construction Contingency Plan Refer to Section III. E. (3) Hazards and Hazardous Materials Mi tigation and Avoidance Measures in this EIR for a detailed description of measures to avoid exposure of people to vapors from impacted groundwater for both the BUILD and TKCJL Projects. J:mpact E.2z Implementation of the proposed Comprehensive Plan amendment could create a significant hazard to the public by allowing residential uses near and/or adjacent to industrial properties that use and store toxic and volatile hazardous materials. While routine emissions of hazardous materials do not appear to pose a health hazard, residents and other users 9 060623 syn 0120166 could be exposed to hazardous materials in the event of an accidental release. Mitigation Measure E.2-1: Hazard Assessment and Emergency Preparedness. She I ter in Place and Evacuation Plans for residents and other users shall be prepared for the BUILD Site and the TKCJL Site. These plans shall provide protocols and directions to follow in the event of an accidental release of hazardous materials on adjacent or nearby sites. The Plans shall be prepared based upon a Hazard Assessment and guidelines provided by the City of Palo Alto and shall be reviewed and approved by the Palo Al to Fire Department prior to occupancy. Appendix L of this EIR provides an example of emergency preparedness guidelines for day care facilities and schools in or adjacent to industrial zones. FINDING: Implementation of the above mitigation measures is feasible and the mitigation and avoidance measures included in the BUILD and TKCJL Projects (and as incorporated in the respective Risk Management Plans for both sites) will avoid or reduce hazards from existing soil and/or groundwater contamination to a less than significant level. Implementation of Program Mitigation Measures and preparation of Shelter in Place and Evacuation Plans will avoid or reduce hazards associated with locating residential and other sensitive uses in close proximity to industrial uses that may use toxic and volatile hazardous materials. E. Hydrology And Water Quality Impacts. Impact F.1: Redevelopment of the BUILD Site and TKCJL Site would substantially increase the quantity of stormwater runoff from the site or result in capacity impacts to the stormwater collection system within the Project vicinity. Mitigation Measure F.1-1: Runoff Control. The BUILD and TKCJL Projects shall avoid increased stormwater flows from the site by detaining additional runoff on site. The Project shall provide detention to limit peak discharge from the site to not exceed existing peak storm water discharge. Detention may be accomplished through the use of oversized pipes, a rock sump in landscaping, or similar measures that provide adequate storage to detain, at a minimum, additional runoff during a 10-year storm event. The final design of these measures shall be 10 060623 syn0l20l66 reviewed and approved by the Public Works Department prior to issuance of building permits. :Impact F. 2: Construction acti vi ties on the Proj ect si te, including pavement removal and earthmoving, could result in adverse impacts to the water quality of San Francisco Bay. Mitigation Measure F.2-1: Erosion and Sedimentation Control. The following erosion and sediment control measures, based upon Best Management Practices recommended by the Regional Water Quality Control Board, shall be included in the Project to reduce potential construction-related water quality impacts. Many of these measures are the same as or similar to measures required to reduce air quality impacts. Erosion and sedimentation control plans shall be submitted for review and approval by the Public Works Department prior to issuance of grading or building permits. • Stormwater inlet protection consisting of burlap bags filled with drain rock will be installed around storm drain inlets to keep sediment and other debris out of the stormwater drainage system • All exposed or disturbed soil surfaces will be watered at least twice daily to control dust as necessary • Earthmoving or other dust-producing acti vi ties will be suspended during periods of high winds • Stockpiles of soil or other materials that can be blown by the wind will be watered or covered • All trucks hauling soil, sand, and other loose materials will be covered and all trucks will be required to maintain at least two feet of freeboard • All paved access roads, parking areas, and staging areas adjacent to the construction sites will be swept daily with water sweepers • Vegetation in disturbed areas will be replanted as quickly as possible. :Impact F.31 Redevelopment of the BUILD Site and TKCJL Site would disturb more than one acre of area and stormwater runoff from the proposed development could contribute to a degradation of surface water quality of Adobe Creek, and ultimately, San Francisco Bay. 11 060623 syn 0120166 Mitigation Measure 1'.3-1: Stormwater Pollution prevention Plan. The Proj ect shall comply wi th the NPDES General Construction Activity Stormwater Permit administered by the Regional Water Quality Control Board. Prior to construction grading for the proposed land uses, the applicant shall file a "Notice of Intent II (NOI) to comply wi th the General Permit and prepare a Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan (SWPPP) which addresses measures that would be included in the Project to minimize and control construction and post-construction runoff. The SWPPP shall be submitted to the Public Works Department for review and approval prior to issuance of grading or building permits. The following measures shall be included in the SWPPP: • Preclude non-stormwater discharges to the stormwater system • Effective, site-specific Best Management Practices for erosion and sediment control during the construction and post-construction periods • Coverage of soil, equipment, and supplies that could contribute non-visible pollution prior to rainfall events and perform monitoring of runoff • Inspection and maintenance of SWPPP measures before, during and after each rainfall event • Perform monitoring of discharges to the stormwater system When the construction phase is complete, a Notice of Termination (NOT) for the General Permit for Construction shall be filed with the Regional Water Quality Control Board and the Public Works Department. The NOT shall document that all elements of the SWPPP have been executed, construction materials and waste have been properly disposed of, and a post- construction stormwater management plan is in place as described in the SWPPP for the site. As part of the mitigation for post-construction runoff impacts addressed in the construction SWPPP, the Project sponsor shall implement regular maintenance activities (i.e., maintaining on-site drainage facilities and landscaping that receives stormwater runoff, litter control) at the site to prevent soil and litter from accumulating on the Project site and contaminating surface runoff. An annual post-construction maintenance agreement shall be prepared and submitted to the Public Works Department prior to issuance of grading or building 12 060623 syn 0120166 permits. Other post-construction source controls and BMPs may include: • maintenance of landscaped areas as necessary to maintain soil structure and permeability • site maintenance, including routine catch basin cleaning; and maintenance of landscaping with minimal pesticide use, including landscape maintenance techniques listed in the Fact Sheet on Landscape Maintenance Techniques for Pest Reduction prepared by the Santa Clara Valley Urban Runoff pollution Prevention program P:IHD:ING: Implementation of the above mitigation measures is feasible and would avoid significant flooding impacts on the Proj ect site. The proposed redevelopment on the Proj ect si te will not substantially increase peak storm water runoff from the site if subject to requirements to provide for on-site detention of storm water runoff. New residential buildings and landscaping could be a source of additional non-point source pollutants in storm water. With implementation of NPDES construction and municipal permit requirements, the Project will not result in significant storm water runoff or water quality impacts during construction of post-construction periods P. Biological Resources :Impacts. :Impact G.l: Protected native birds and bats, and their nests and roosts may be present in landscaping or abandoned buildings and could be impacted by the implementation of the proposed BUILD and TKCJL Projects. Mitigation Measure G.l-l: Protections for Nesting Birds. Project sponsors shall remove potential nesting habitats (vegetation) only during the non-nesting season between September 1 and March 1. If vegetation is to be removed or otherwise impacted during the nesting season, pre-construction surveys shall be conducted by a qualified ornithologist, and if active nests are found, disturbance-free buffer zones shall be established. Pre-construction surveys shall be completed no more than 30 days prior to the start of demolition/vegetation removal or no more than 14· days prior to the initiation of demolition/construction activities during the early part of the breeding season. If nesting birds are located on or immediately 13 060623 syn 0120166 adjacent to the site, a construction-free buffer zone (typically 250 feet) around the active nest shall be established for the duration of breeding until young birds have fledged. Mitigation Measure The following measures avoid potential impacts Mexican freetail bat: G.1-2: Protections for Roosting Bats. are included in the BUILD Project to to native roosting bats, such as the • Preconstruction surveys for bats shall be conducted no more than 14 days in advance of the demolition of the building on-site. Surveys shall be conducted on several consecutive days/nights to assure the identification of all roosting bats in the building. Demolition shall not proceed until a qualified bat biologist has adequately surveyed the building, removed any bats, and determined that all bats have been captured • If a maternity roost is present, a qualified bat biologist shall determine the extent of construction- free zones around active nurseries since these species are known to abandon young when disturbed. If either a maternity roost or hibernacula is present, the following mitigation measures shall be implemented. CDFG should also be notified of any active nurseries within the construction zone • If an active nursery roost is located, demolition of that building can conunence before maternity colonies form (i.e. I prior to March 1) or after young are volant (flying) (i.e., after July 31). The disturbance-free buffer zones described in the mitigation above shall be observed during the maternity roost season (March 1 -July 31). PZNDZNG: Implementation of the above mitigation measures is feasible and would avoid possible impacts to nesting bird and roosting bats on the BUILD Site and TKCJL Site. G. Cultural Resources ~acts. :tmpact J .1: Development of the Proj ect excavation and grading, could result in the archaeological resources. 14 060623 syn 0120166 site, including disturbance of Mitigation Measure J.l-l: Pre-Construction Surveys and On- Site Monitoring. Prior to the start of construction or at the time of removal of landscaping and asphalt, a visual inspection and monitoring of the Project site shall be completed by a qualified archaeologist, approved by the Director of Planning and Corrununity Environment. Monitoring shall consist of coordinating subsurface work to allow for the careful examination of vertical and horizontal soil relationships for the purpose of defining positive archaeological finds (prehistoric and/or historic). After written approval, the Planning and Corrununity Environment Department shall be notified at least 48 hours prior to any grading or other subsurface work on the site and the applicant shall provide a written protocol that stipulates the manner in which the applicant shall comply with the monitoring requirements. The monitor shall maintain a field log of their presence and observations, carefully noting soil conditions. In the event archaeological deposits are discovered all work within the proximity of the find shall temporarily halt so that the archaeologist can examine the find and document its provenance and nature. If the find is deemed significant by the archaeologist excavation shall :be performed to allow for the mapping of the aerial extent of any deposits as well as to understand their depth below the existing surface. Maps shall be prepared by professional surveyors to aid Project designers in the avoidance of impacts to these deposits if at all possible by relocating structures and utilities, and/or by placing fill over them to allow construction and/or use as landscaping or for parks which could be done without any damage to the resources themselves. Work shall only proceed on the Project site once a Treatment Plan is submitted by the archaeologist to the City and adequate mitigation measures are adopted or the matter is resolved to the satisfaction of the Director of Planning and Corrununity Environment. In the event that the proposed Project cannot be redesigned to protect any buried archaeological deposits, a program of hand excavation into areas of Projected impacts shall be conducted to determine the significance of the resources. Recorrunendations shall be prepared for the mitigation of impacts to any resource areas that are found to be eligible for inclusion on the California Register of Historic Resources. Mitigation could include but is not limited to an additional program of data recovery through hand excavation along with archaeological monitoring of all Project related earthmoving activities inside 15 060623 syn 0120166 the borders of the resource arec:.ts to allow for the recording and/or removal of significant archaeological materials and/or information and human burials. Mitigation Measure J .1-2: Notification of Archaeological Finds. In the event any significant cultural materials are encountered during construction grading or excavation, all construction within a radius of 50-feet of the find would be halted, the Director of Planning and Community Environment shall be notified, and the archaeologist shall examine the find and make appropriate recommendations regarding the significance of the find and the appropriate mitigation. Recommendations could include collection, recordation and analysis of any significant cultural materials. A report of Findings documenting any data recovered during monitoring shall be submitted to the Director of Planning and Community Environment. In the event that human skeletal remains are encountered, the applicant is required by County Ordinance No. B6-18 to immediately· notify the County Coroner. Upon determination by the County Coroner that the remains are Native American, the coroner shall contact the California Native American Heritage Commission, pursuant to subdivision (c) of section 7050.5 of the Health and Safety Code and the County Coordinator of Indian Affairs. No further disturbance of the site may be made except as authorized by the County Coordinator of Indian Affairs in accordance with the provisions of state law and the Health and Safety Code. The Director of Planning and Community Environment shall also be notified immediately if human skeletal remains are found on the site during development. FJ:NDJ:NG: Implementation of the identified measures is feasible and would reduce potential cultural resources to a less than significant level. J:J:. ALTERNATJ:VES. mitigation impacts to CEQA requires an evaluation of the comparative effects of a range of reasonable alternatives to a proposed Project. The following alternatives were evaluated in the EIR: 16 060623 8yn 0120166 A. No Project Alternative. Scenario 1: Under the first scenario, the existing office building (currently vacant) would remain on the site and would be refurbished for office uses. Renovation or improvements to the existing parking lot and landscaping would also be required for the existing office building to be reoccupied. Scenario 2: Under the second scenario, the approximately 12.S acre site could be redeveloped with up to 273,000 sq. ft. of office or light industrial uses at an FAR of up to o. S . This would replace an approximately 26S,OOO sq. ft. office building and a 2, SOO sq. ft. fast food restaurant at the corner of San Antonio and East Charleston Rd. FZNDZHG: Scenario 1 would avoid the land use, transportation, noise, hazardous materials, and cultural resources impacts and would substantially reduce the air quality, noise and water quality impacts associated with construction. Scenario 2 would avoid noise impacts other than those from construction impacts, would avoid the hazardous materials impacts, and would not make a cumulatively considerable contribution to cumulative traffic. However, Scenario 2 would have construction impacts similar to those of the proposed Project. While both No Project scenarios are environmentally superior to the proposed Project, neither would meet the Proj ect goals of either BUILD or CJL for developing residential uses, a community center and a preschool site nor would it meet the City's housing goals of providing very low and low income housing for seniors, including the development of this site as a Housing Opportunity Site. B. Reduced Scale Alternative. Description: Under this alternative, the allowed development on the BUILD and CJL Si tes would be reduced by approximately 40 percent and would include the following components: • • 060623 syn 0120166 96 condominiums Site; and 66 congregate 67,800 square and 40 senior apartments on the BUILD care feet and of 17 42 assisted living recreation/community units, center uses, and a 10,200 square foot preschool/daycare facility on the TKCJL Site Fl:NDl:NG: This alternative would result in similar land use, noise, hazardous materials, hydrology and water quality, traffic safety and construction impacts (air quality, noise, water quality, and cultural resources) as the proposed Project. All of these impacts could be reduced to a less than significant level with mitigation measures similar to those included in the proposed Project. The Reduced Scale Alternative, would however, eliminate the significant impact at the Charleston/ Alma intersection during the PM peak hour and significant parking impacts. The Reduced Scale Alternative would be environmentally superior to the proposed Proj ect because it would avoid these transportation impacts. However, this alternative has not been selected because the mitigation measures included in the Project avoid or reduce all of the identified significant impacts to a less than significant level and because the Reduced Scale Alternative does not support all of the Project's goals and objectives. Specifically, it would not meet the Project objectives of developing the maximum number of housing units to address the City's jobs/housing imbalance or to provide the greatest number of senior affordable units that can be developed on the site. It also may not be able to meet TKCJL' s goal to enable the Jewish Community Center to restore the full range of services essential to its long-term financial viability. Because of the reduced number of residential units, it also may not meet the financial objectives of BUILD or TKCJL. c. Building Height Alternative. Description: This alternative would conform to building height and roadway setbacks specified in the Palo Alto Municipal code. Buildings would not exceed 50 feet in height and would be set back a minimum of 24 feet from San Antonio Road, 24 feet from Charleston Road and 15 feet from Fabian Way. As a result, this alternative would be a smaller development, representing a less intense use of the site. Fl:NDl:NG: This alternative would result in similar land use, transportation, noise, hazardous materials, hydrology and water quality, and construction impacts (air quality, noise, water quality, and cultural resources) as the proposed Project, although the extent of these impacts would be reduced somewhat. 18 060623 syn 0120166 As with the proposed Proj ect, all of these impacts could be reduced to a less than significant level with mitigation measures similar to those included tin the proposed Project. The Building Height Alternative is not environmentally superior to the proposed Project because it would result in similar significant impacts to those of the proposed Project. Furthermore, it does not support all of the Project's goals and objectives. Specifically, it would not meet the Project objective of developing approximately 400 housing units to address the City's jobs/housing imbalance or to provide the greatest number of senior affordable units that can be developed on the site. It also may not be able to meet TKCJL's to enable the Jewish Community Center to restore the full range of services ess-ential to its long-term financial viability. Because of the reduced number 0 residential units, it also may not meet the financial objectives of BUILD or TKCJL. 19 060623 syn 0120166 MITIGATION MONITORING AND REPORTING PROGRAM Taube-Koret Campus for Jewish Life (CJL) (901 SAN ANTONIO ROAD) SCH#2004112108 05PLN-00295 , CITY OF PALO ALTO JUNE 2006, Revised September 2006 m >< :::r 0-;:;: OJ ~ PREFACE Section 21081 ofthe California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) requires a Lead Agency to adopt a Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Program whenever it approves a project for which measures have been required to mitigate or avoid significant effects on the environment. The purpose of the monitoring and reporting program is to ensure compliance with the mitigation measures during project implementation. On September 25,2006, the Final EIR was approved for the Taube-Koret Campus for Jewish Life (CJL) Project at 901 San Antonio Road. The Final EIR concluded thatthe implementation of the project could result in significant effects on the environment and mitigation measures were incorporated into the proposed project or are required as a condition of project approval. This Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Program outlines these measures and indicates how, when, and by whom they will be implemented. MITIGATION MONITORING AND REPORTING PROGRAM Taube-Koret Campus For Jewish Life (OSPLN-0029S) Impact TRANSPORTATION Impact B.I: The projectwill result in a significant adverse level of service impact (critical movement delay and demand-to- capacity ratio) to the intersection of Charleston Road and Alma Street during the PM peak hour. Mitigation and Avoidance Measures Mitigation Measure RI-I: Intersection LOS Impacts. The City of Palo Alto is planning to implement traffic-adaptive signal technology at a series of intersections, including the Charleston Road! Alma Street intersection, as recommended in the Charleston!Arastradero Road Corridor Study. The City of Palo Alto has adopted a fee program and included funding in budget for this program. Implementation of this strategy would reduce the average critical delay to 94.4 seconds in the PM peak hour which is better than under Background conditions. Implementation of this measure by the City of Palo Alto would reduce impacts to this intersection to a less than significant level. Mitigation Measure BI.1-2. Transportation Demand Management. The CJL project shall implement a . Transportation Demand Management (TDM) Plan for employees designed to achieve a 20 H percent alternative mode-use for employees to address local traffic concerns.
