Finds that the text revisions to the Final IS/MND merely clarify, amplify or make insignificant modifications to the Final IS/MND; therefore, recirculation of the Final IS/MND is not required. 4. Adopts the Mitigated Negative Declaration for the Project. 5. Adopts and incorporates into the Project all of the mitigation measures identified in the Final IS/MND. The City Council further makes the mitigation measures, which are listed below, required conditions of approval of the Project to the extent they are within the responsibility and jurisdiction of the City: a. NOISE Mitigation Measure NOISE-1a: The project applicant shall identify in the Construction Noise Control Plan required pursuant to Cupertino Municipal Code Section 17.04.050(G)(2), Manage Noise During Construction, that a temporary sound barrier between the construction zone on the project site and the adjacent residences along the entirety of the project site boundary to the west with a minimum height of 12 feet and free of gaps and holes made of either a (a) 0.75- inch-thick plywood wall or (b) hanging blanket/curtain with a surface density or at least 2 pounds per square foot, would be installed to reduce construction noise levels to meet the 80 dBA limit in CMC Section 10.48.053. Mitigation Measure NOISE-1b: Prior to issuance of building permits, the mechanical equipment and heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) equipment shall be selected and designed to reduce impacts on surrounding uses to meet the Cupertino Municipal Code noise limits of 60 dBA and 50 dBA at residential uses during daytime and nighttime, respectively, and 65 dBA and 55 dBA at non-residential sensitive uses during daytime and nighttime, respectively. A qualified acoustical consultant shall be retained by the project applicant to review mechanical noise as these systems are selected to determine specific noise reduction measures necessary to reduce noise to comply with the City’s noise level requirements. Mechanical equipment shall be selected and designed to reduce Resolution No. 23-075 Page 4 4 impacts on surrounding uses to meet the City’s noise level requirements. Noise reduction measures could include, but are not limited to:  Selection of equipment that emits low noise levels;  Installation of noise dampening techniques, such as enclosures and parapet walls, to block the line-of-sight between the noise source and the nearest receptors; or  Locating equipment in less noise-sensitive areas, where feasible. Mitigation Measure NOISE-2: If paving activity during construction is required within 25 feet of nearby structures, the use of a static roller in lieu of a vibratory roller shall be employed. This mitigation measure shall be identified on the permit application drawing set and as part of the construction drawing set, and shall be implemented by the on-site Construction Manager. b. TRANSPORTATION Mitigation Measure TRANS-1: The project applicant shall implement the following measures to reduce vehicle miles traveled (VMT) to meet the residential vehicle-miles traveled threshold of 11.50 VMT per capita.  Project Fair Share Contribution. Prior to approval of the final subdivision map, the project applicant shall pay a fair share contribution of $10,000 toward the bicycle improvements along Prospect Road that are planned in the City of Cupertino 2016 Bicycle Transportation Plan. The improvements include the addition of Class II buffered bike lanes along Prospect Road between De Anza Boulevard and Stelling Road, which would narrow the travel lanes on Prospect Road east of Galway Drive thereby reducing vehicle speeds to create a safer environment and promote walking and biking as alternatives to driving and reduce VMT.  Transportation Coordinator. Prior to certificate of occupancy, the project applicant shall establish a “transportation coordinator” that shall implement and monitor the residential VMT reduction strategies described in this mitigation measure and future VMT reduction strategies if changes to the residential VMT reduction strategies described in this mitigation measure are warranted. The transportation coordinator shall be responsible for the preparation and submittal of an Annual Residential VMT Reduction Status Report, to be reviewed and approved by the City of Cupertino. The Annual Residential VMT Reduction Status Report shall include supporting Resolution No. 23-075 Page 5 5 documentation prepared by a City-approved qualified transportation engineer retained by the transportation coordinator to demonstrate the residential VMT reduction strategies are reducing residential VMT per capita from the residential 13.97 VMT per capita estimated in the Initial Study towards meeting the City of Cupertino’s adopted threshold. Where it is demonstrated in the Annual Residential VMT Reduction Status Report that the residential VMT reduction strategies are not reducing residential VMT to the satisfaction of the City of Cupertino, the transportation coordinator together with the City of Cupertino, shall select from other approved VMT reduction strategies in the Santa Clara Countywide VMT Evaluation Tool. The transportation coordinator shall retain a City-approved qualified transportation engineer to apply the new VMT reduction strategies in the Santa Clara Countywide VMT Evaluation Tool to demonstrate the reduction strategies will achieve the City of Cupertino’s adopted VMT threshold. Once the Annual Residential VMT Reduction Status Report demonstrates that residential VMT is being reduced from the residential 13.97 VMT per capita estimated in the Initial Study towards meeting the City of Cupertino’s adopted threshold for five consecutive years from issuance of the certificate of occupancy, no additional reporting shall be required.  School Pool Program. Prior to issuance of certificate of occupancy, the project applicant shall prepare a School Pool Program to the satisfaction of the City of Cupertino to reduce residential VMT by matching parents of the proposed residential development who transport students to and from schools without a bussing program, including private schools, charter schools, and neighborhood schools where students cannot walk or bike, or where parents would rather their children not walk or bike. The School Pool Program shall be: o Included in resident welcome packets and clearly stated that the program is open to all residents. The building management would be responsible for preparing the welcome packet materials and distributing to all new residents; and, o Provided via an online kiosk/webpage with current school pool program information available at all times. The online kiosk/webpage would provide resident and school information for residents interested in participating in the school carpool program. Those residents that register for the program online could connect with other residents participating in the program to Resolution No. 23-075 Page 6 6 schedule carpools. The building management would be responsible for creating the online kiosk/webpage so that it is up and running as soon as the residential development is ready for leasing. The building management (and/or website designer) would be responsible for adding new information to the website so that the online kiosk remains current and informative.  Electric Bicycle Program. Prior to the issuance of building permits, the project applicant shall submit a site-wide Electric Bicycle Program (EBP) to the Community Development Department, for review and approval. The EBP shall include the following: o The project applicant shall initially purchase a total of 20 mid-range ($1,500 to $2,500), commuter/leisure electric bicycles (e-bikes), that are Underwriters Laboratory (UL) 2849 certified e-bikes that provide fire safety certification by examining the electrical drive train, battery, and charger system combinations, to form an e-bike pool. These e-bikes shall be purchased prior to certificate of occupancy. o Because e-bikes are an evolving field and new technological advances are occurring regularly, the EBP shall include provisions for updating the e- bike pool with safe and efficient fleet over the life of the program. o The e-bikes shall be available for use to any resident of the project (apartment units and townhomes) by advanced reservation on an hourly or daily basis. o The EBP shall identify how the reservation system will be managed and by whom. For example, the reservation system could be a pen and paper sign up system, online, etc. and would be coordinated through the Transportation Coordinator. o The EBP shall identify where the secure e-bike parking will be located and how it will be accessed by future residents of the apartments and townhomes. For example, the e-bike parking area could be located in the covered parking area and would be accessible by distributing electronic key cards or fobs to residents. o The e-bike parking shall provide 20 charging stations so that each e-bike is fully charged each day, secure, and accessible to residents only. o The EBP shall identify who is responsible for coordinating the routine maintenance of the e-bike fleet by a professional e-bike service semi- Resolution No. 23-075 Page 7 7 annually or as needed when a bike is operational. For example, the Homeowners Association, or equivalent body, could be responsible for this task. o The EBP shall identify where the bike maintenance station would be provided on site to allow residents to perform basic maintenance and repairs on their own personal bicycles (e-bikes and non-e-bikes) without having to purchase their own tools and also make basic adjustments to an e-bike from the e-bike pool for seat adjustments, etc. o The bike maintenance station shall be in the e-bike storage location or in close proximity and shall include, at a minimum, a bicycle pump, wrenches, a chain tool, lubricants, tire levers, hex keys/Allen wrenches, torx keys, screwdrivers, and spoke wrenches. The bike repair station shall be available for residents to maintain and fix their bicycles without having to purchase their own tools. o The EBP shall identify who is responsible for maintaining the bike maintenance station. For example, the Homeowners Association, or equivalent body, could be responsible for this as part of their job assignment. o The EBP shall include the procedures for implementing an annual e-bike program survey to be given to residents to gather information on the success of the program and ascertain information on how to make the program more successful. The procedures shall state that first survey shall be conducted within six months of initiating the program, the second within 12 months, and then on an annual basis. o The project applicant shall provide this program to residents of the project site at no cost for at least five years. If the annual e-bike program survey generates the need for more bikes, then it may be appropriate to add a fee structure at that time.  Car Share Program. Prior to issuance of certificate of occupancy, the project applicant shall demonstrate to the satisfaction of the City of Cupertino that the project would provide subsidized memberships to a car sharing program (e.g., Zipcar and GetAround) for residents with a valid driver’s license upon request. The Car Share Program shall include a dedicated car share vehicle parking on-site or at a convenient location within 0.25 miles of the project site. Because the car sharing services are a low-cost alternative to car ownership Resolution No. 23-075 Page 8 8 and provide flexibility to those who use other transportation modes for their daily commute but may need to access a car for mid-day errands, car sharing helps support the use of walking, biking, carpooling, and transit by providing another means for business/day vehicle trips or a guaranteed ride home option, allowing for overall reductions in automobile use which results in reduced VMT.  Behavioral Intervention Program. Prior to certificate of occupancy, the project applicant shall prepare a Behavior Intervention Program that will provide individualized transportation information for each resident to the satisfaction of the City of Cupertino that will reduce residential VMT by encouraging residents to use travel modes other than single-occupant vehicles as part of the new resident move-in process. To implement this program, “transportation coordinator” will work with residents to prepare the individualized transportation information for each resident. The transportation coordinator shall review the most current Santa Clara Valley Transportation Authority (VTA) bicycle and transit maps and work with each resident to identify key destinations for that resident which may include locations such as work, school, shopping and/or recreational destinations. The resident and transportation coordinator would then map out feasible bicycle routes including the bicycle facility class types and transit routes to each destination including travel times, necessary bus transfers, and fare pricing. Bicycle and transit routes to common amenities such as grocery stores, drug stores, banks, and post offices would also be mapped out. Implementing this program would encourage the use of transit, shared ride modes, bicycling, and walking, thereby reducing drive-alone vehicle trips and residential VMT. Additional encouragement could be provided in the form of subsidies if participation in the program is lower than expected. 6.
