T comprehensive update to its general plan, entitled referred to herein as adoption by the City Council. B. Approval of the Comprehensive Plan Update would constitute a project under the provisions of the California Environmental Quality Act of 1970, together with related state implementation guidelines promulgated thereunder C. The City Council, in compliance with CEQA, prepared an Environmental Impact Report (EIR) to provide an assessment of the potential environmental consequences of adopting and implementing the proposed Comprehensive Plan Update and associated zoning amendments. D. The environmental review process under CEQA commenced and was undertaken concurrently with the preparation and consideration of the Comprehensive Plan Update, which or almost two years and hearings before the City Council to consider the CAC recommendations. This process allowed the Comprehensive Plan Update to take into account any potential environmental impacts identified in the EIR and include policies to address those impacts. E. A Draft Environmental Impact Report for the Comprehensive Plan Update was prepared analyzing four alternatives scenarios in equal level of detail. The Draft EIR was circulated for public review from February 5, 2016 to June 8, 2016, during which time the City held several public hearings to receive comments on the Draft EIR. F. During the Comprehensive Plan development and review process, the City Council directed the evaluation of two additional alternatives or scenarios, which were subsequently analyzed in a Supplement to the Draft EIR that was circulated for public review from February 10, 2017 to March 31, 2017, during which time the City Council and Planning and Transportation Commission held additional public hearings to receive comments on the Draft EIR and the Supplement. G. recommendations on the Comprehensive Plan Update, the City Council identified the parameters of the preferred alternative through several public hearings.

A Final Environmental Impact Report was prepared, which Final Environmental Impact Report is comprised of the Draft EIR dated February 5, 2016, together with the Supplement to the Draft EIR dated February 10, 2017, and the Final Environmental Impact Report dated August 30, 2017 (collectively, all of said documents are referred to herein as the ). I. Prior to the adoption of this Resolution, the Planning and Transportation Commission of the City of Palo Alto, on September 27, 2017, reviewed the EIR prepared for the , held a public hearing, and recommended to the City Council that it certify and find the Final EIR was completed in accordance with the requirements of CEQA. J. Over three Council meetings, on October 23 and 30 and November 13, 2017, the Council held a duly noticed public hearing on the Comprehensive Plan Update and EIR, and on November 13, 2017, certified the EIR in accordance with CEQA by adoption of Resolution No. 9720. K. The Council is the decision-making body for adoption of the proposed Comprehensive Plan Update. L. CEQA requires that in connection with approval of a project for which an environmental impact report has been prepared that identifies one or more significant environmental effects of the project, the decision-making body of a public agency make certain findings regarding those effects. NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF PALO ALTO AS FOLLOWS: The City Council, in the exercise of its independent judgment, makes and adopts the following findings to comply with the requirements of CEQA, including Sections 15091, 15092, and 15093 of the CEQA Guidelines, based upon the entire record of proceedings for the Project. All statements set forth in this Resolution constitute formal findings of the City Council, including the statements set forth in this paragraph and in the recitals above. 1. The City Council was presented with, and has independently reviewed and analyzed the EIR and other information in the record and has considered the information contained therein prior to acting upon and approving the Project, and bases the findings stated below on such review. 2. The EIR provides an adequate basis for considering and acting upon the Comprehensive Plan Update Project. The City Council has considered all of the evidence and arguments presented during consideration of the Project and the Final EIR. In determining whether the Project may have a significant impact on the environment, and in adopting the findings set forth herein, the City Council certifies that it has complied with Public Resources Code Sections 21081, 21081.5, and 21082.2. DocuSign Envelope ID: FC1D7519-2530-42F5-9EBE-3B6D0199951F 3 171128 SL/PCE PLANNING/COMP PLAN 2017/RESO ADOPTING MMRP 3. The City Council agrees with the characterization of the EIR with respect to all impacts described accurately and are less than significant as so described in the Final EIR. This finding does not apply to impacts identified as significant or potentially significant that are reduced to a less than significant level by mitigation measures included in the EIR. The disposition of each of those impacts and the mitigation measures adopted to reduce them are addressed specifically in the findings below. 4. The Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Program (MMRP) includes all mitigation measures adopted with respect to the Project and explains how and by whom they will be implemented and enforced. 5. The EIR considers a reasonable range of potentially feasible alternatives, sufficient to foster informed decision making, public participation and a reasoned choice, in accordance with CEQA. 6. The Final EIR contains responses to comments received on a Draft EIR and a Supplement to the Draft EIR. The Final EIR also contains corrections and clarifications to the text and analysis of the Draft EIR and Supplement to the Draft EIR, where warranted. The City Council does hereby find that such changes and additional information are not significant new information under CEQA because such changes and additional information do not indicate that any of the following would result from approval and implementation of the Project: (i) any new significant environmental impact or substantially more severe environmental impact (not already disclosed and evaluated in the DEIR and Supplement to the Draft EIR), (ii) any feasible mitigation measure considerably different from those analyzed in the Draft EIR and Supplement to the Draft EIR that would lessen a significant environmental impact of the Project has been proposed and would not be implemented, or (iii) any feasible alternative considerably different from those analyzed in the DEIR and the Supplement to the Draft EIR that would lessen a significant environmental impact of the Project has been proposed and would not be implemented. The City Council does find and determine that recirculation of the Final EIR for further public review and comment is not warranted or required under the provisions of CEQA. 7. The City Council does hereby make the following findings with respect to significant effects on the environment of the Project, as identified in the EIR, with the understanding that all of the information in this Resolution is intended as a summary of the full administrative record supporting the EIR, which full administrative record should be consulted for the full details supporting these findings. I. STATUTORY REQUIREMENTS FOR FINDINGS Significant effects of the Comprehensive Plan Update project were identified in the Draft EIR and the Supplement to the Draft EIR. CEQA §21081 and CEQA Guidelines §15091 require that the Lead Agency prepare written findings for identified significant impacts, accompanied by a brief explanation of the rationale for each finding. Less than significant effects (without mitigation) of the project were also identified in the Draft EIR and the Supplement to the Draft EIR. CEQA does not require that the Lead Agency prepare written findings for less than significant effects. DocuSign Envelope ID: FC1D7519-2530-42F5-9EBE-3B6D0199951F 4 171128 SL/PCE PLANNING/COMP PLAN 2017/RESO ADOPTING MMRP CEQA requires that the Lead Agency adopt mitigation measures or alternatives, where feasible, to avoid or mitigate significant environmental impacts that would otherwise occur with implementation of the project. Project mitigation or alternatives are not required, however, where substantial evidence in the record demonstrates that they are infeasible or where the responsibility for modifying the project lies with another agency. Specifically, CEQA Guidelines §15091 states: (a) No public agency shall approve or carry out a project for which an EIR has been certified which identifies one or more significant environmental effects of the project unless the public agency makes one or more written findings for each of those significant effects, accompanied by a brief explanation of the rationale for each finding. The possible findings are: (1) Changes or alterations have been required in, or incorporated into, the project which avoid or substantially lessen the significant environmental effect as identified in the final EIR. (2) Such changes or alterations are within the responsibility and jurisdiction of another public agency and not the agency making the finding. Such changes have been adopted by such other agency or can and should be adopted by such other agency. (3) Specific economic, legal, social, technological, or other considerations, including provision of employment opportunities for highly trained workers, make infeasible the mitigation measures or project alternatives identified in the final EIR. referred to in §15091(a)(1) above, that are required in, or incorporated into, the project which mitigate or avoid the significant environmental effects of the project, may include a wide variety of measures or actions as set forth in Guidelines §15370, including avoiding, minimizing, rectifying, or reducing the impact over time, or compensating for the impact by replacing or providing substitute resources. II. FINDINGS ON SIGNIFICANT IMPACTS AND MITIGATION MEASURES Pursuant to Public Resources Code Section 21081 and CEQA Guidelines Section 15091, the City Council hereby makes these findings with respect to the potential for significant environmental impacts from adoption and implementation of the Comprehensive Plan Update and Zoning Code amendments ("proposed project") and the means for mitigating those impacts. For the Supplement to the Draft EIR, and Final EIR documents collectively, unless otherwise specified. These findings do not attempt to describe the full analysis of each environmental impact contained in the EIR. Instead, the findings provide a summary description of each impact, describe the applicable mitigation measures identified in the EIR and adopted by the City, and state the findings on the significance of each impact after imposition of the adopted mitigation measures. A full explanation of these environmental findings and conclusions can be found in the EIR. These findings hereby incorporate by reference the discussion and analysis in the EIR that support the EIR's determinations regarding significant project impacts and mitigation measures designed to address those impacts. The facts supporting these findings are found in the record as a whole for the project.

Resulting Significance: Less than Significant Impact AES-4: Implementation of the proposed Plan would have the potential to substantially shadow public open space (other than public open streets and adjacent sidewalks) between 9:00 a.m. and 3:00 p.m. from September 21 to March 21. Mitigation Measure AES-4: The City shall amend its local CEQA guidelines to require development projects of a certain size or location to prepare an analysis of potential shade/shadow impacts. The analysis shall focus on potential impacts to public open spaces (other than public streets and adjacent sidewalks) between 9:00 a.m. and 3:00 p.m. from September 21 to March 21. The analysis shall identify whether the project would shadow open spaces during these times, explain how the project meets City design requirements and other DocuSign Envelope ID: FC1D7519-2530-42F5-9EBE-3B6D0199951F 7 171128 SL/PCE PLANNING/COMP PLAN 2017/RESO ADOPTING MMRP City policy goals, and describe ways to mitigate substantial shade and shadow impacts through feasible building and site design features. Finding: Changes or alterations have been required in, or incorporated into, the project, which avoid or substantially lessen the significant environmental effect identified in the EIR. Rationale for Finding: Mitigation Measure AES- to require project-level analysis of potential shade/shadow impacts, as well as measures to mitigate potential impacts through feasible building and site design features. Implementation of this mitigation measure would ensure the future development projects and capital improvement projects that are subject to CEQA would disclose and avoid potential shade/shadow impacts to the extent feasible. Resulting Significance: Less than Significant Air Quality 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. Mitigation Measure AIR-1: To ensure consistency with the 2010 Bay Area Clean Air Plan, the proposed Plan shall include policies that achieve the following: Finding: Changes or alterations have been required in, or incorporated into, the project, which avoid or substantially lessen the significant environmental effect identified in the EIR. Rationale for Finding: The proposed Plan includes policies that collectively ensure implementation of this mitigation measure during the course of development proposals and capital improvement projects.

FINDINGS CONCERNING ALTERNATIVES Significant and Unavoidable Impacts CEQA provides that decision-makers should not approve a project as proposed if there are feasible alternatives or feasible mitigation measures that would substantially lessen the significant impacts of the project (CEQA Section 21002). The EIR identified feasible mitigation measures that would reduce several of the potentially significant impacts to less than significant, as further set forth in the Section II findings above. However, the following impacts DocuSign Envelope ID: FC1D7519-2530-42F5-9EBE-3B6D0199951F 36 171128 SL/PCE PLANNING/COMP PLAN 2017/RESO ADOPTING MMRP in the EIR remain significant after mitigation (i.e., significant and unavoidable) and no feasible mitigation or project alternative is identified to reduce impact to less than significant: 1. - 2. - 3. - 4. - region where traf Evaluations of virtually any long-range plan developed in this region would reach similar documents. And even if the City does not update its Comprehensive Plan (as represented by efforts at mitigation.

Planning Scenarios 2 Through 6 Scenarios 2 through 6 in the Draft EIR and the Supplement to the Draft EIR are part of the reasonable range of alternatives the City has considered because they present different ways that the City could plan for its future and vary in terms of the housing and employment projected to occur by the horizon year of 2030. The preferred scenario that has been selected for adoption shares many characteristics with these other planning scenarios, and was developed by the City Council based on extensive community input and deliberations. As described in Chapter 2 of the Final EIR, the preferred scenario is essentially a hybrid of the other Scenarios, and represents the evolution of a long public planning process. There are not substantial differences in the number or extent of environmental impacts among the scenarios evaluated in the February 2016 Draft EIR and Supplement to the Draft EIR. While the majority of potential impacts could be mitigated to a less-than-significant level, all of the scenarios would result in the same significant and unavoidable impacts to air quality and transportation, and the preferred scenario would result in the same significant and unavoidable impacts. However, there are differences of degree among the scenarios, as described below. A. Scenario 2 Although similar to the preferred scenario, Scenario 2 would result in slightly lower motor vehicle trips than the preferred scenario. Scenario 2 would also result in a lower level of population and jobs growth. Therefore, Scenario 2 would result in lower greenhouse gas and air DocuSign Envelope ID: FC1D7519-2530-42F5-9EBE-3B6D0199951F 41 171128 SL/PCE PLANNING/COMP PLAN 2017/RESO ADOPTING MMRP quality emissions than the preferred scenario. However, Scenario 2 would result in a greater expand housing options as well as the preferred scenario. B. Scenario 3 Scenario 3 would result in more motor vehicle trips than the preferred scenario. Scenario 3 would result in a level of population growth equal to the lower end of the preferred scenario, and a higher level of job growth. Therefore, Scenario 3 would result in higher levels of greenhouse gas and air quality emissions than the preferred scenario. Overall, Scenario 3 would result in a greater jobs/housing imbalance than the preferred scenario and would not meet the ferred scenario. C. Scenario 4 Scenario 4 would result in lower motor vehicle trips than the preferred scenario. Scenario 4 would result in a level of population growth equal to the higher end of the preferred scenario, and a higher level of job growth. Overall, due to its lower motor vehicle trips, Scenario 4 would be expected to result in lower greenhouse gas and air quality emissions than the preferred scenario. However, Scenario 4 would result in a greater jobs/housing imbalance than the preferred scenario, which would conflict with City goals. D. Scenario 5 Scenario 5 would result in the fewest motor vehicle trips of all the scenarios (including the preferred scenario). Scenario 5 would result in a level of population growth equal to the lower end of the preferred scenario, and less jobs growth than the preferred scenario. Overall, Scenario 5 would result in a similar jobs/housing balance as the preferred scenario (slightly higher than the preferred scenario within the city but lower within the city plus Sphere of Influence). In addition, Scenario 5 would include the sustainability measures of Scenarios 4 and 6. Overall, due to its lower motor vehicle trips, lower overall growth, and similar jobs/housing balance, Scenario 5 would be expected to result in lower greenhouse gas and air quality emissions than the preferred scenario. By combining the rigorous sustainability initiatives of Scenarios 4 and 6 with the modest housing growth of Scenario 3 and low job growth of Scenario 6, Scenario 5 would be the environmentally preferred scenario. However, Scenario 5 would not E. Scenario 6 Scenario 6 would result in lower motor vehicle trips than the preferred scenario. Scenario 6 would result in more population growth and less jobs growth than the preferred scenario and would achieve the lowest jobs-to-employed-residents ratio of all the scenarios (including the preferred scenario). In addition, Scenario 6 would include the sustainability measures of Scenarios 4 and 5. Overall, due to its lower motor vehicle trips and jobs/housing balance, Scenario 6 would be expected to result in lower greenhouse gas and air quality emissions than the preferred scenario. Scenario 6 would have the highest population growth of any scenario, exceeding regional projections and resulting in the greatest demand for schools, parkland, and services provided to residents. As a result, Scenario 6 would not meet the project objective regarding service delivery as well as the preferred scenario.

IV. STATEMENT OF OVERRIDING CONSIDERATIONS The City Council of the City of Palo Alto adopts and makes the following Statement of Overriding Considerations regarding the significant, unavoidable impacts of the Project and the anticipated benefits of the Project. - Adoption of the June 30, 2017 Draft of the Comprehensive Plan Update 2030, with the specific gnificant and unavoidable impacts: 5. - 6. - 7. - DocuSign Envelope ID: FC1D7519-2530-42F5-9EBE-3B6D0199951F 43 171128 SL/PCE PLANNING/COMP PLAN 2017/RESO ADOPTING MMRP 8. - Overriding Considerations The City Council has carefully considered each significant unavoidable project impact in reaching its decision to approve the project. Even with mitigation, the City Council recognizes that implementation of the project carries with it unavoidable adverse environmental effects, as identified in the EIR. The City Council specifically finds that, to the extent that the identified significant adverse impacts for the project have not been reduced to acceptable levels through feasible mitigation or alternatives, there are specific economic, legal, social, technological, or other benefits, including region-wide or statewide environmental benefits that outweigh the impacts and support approval of the project. Any one of these benefits as set forth below is sufficient to justify approval of the project. The substantial evidence supporting the various benefits is in the record as a whole. The following statement iden the project outweigh the significant and unavoidable effects. The City finds that each of the project benefits discussed below is a separate and independent basis for these findings.
