(LSA)will undertake to revise the existing CEQA documentation for a proposed annex building on the Apple Campus,On May 3,2012,LSA published a Statutory Exemption Analysis for a similar annex building(RC-2a Annex). Since that time,the design and location of the annex have been modified(the current annex is the RC-la Annex).This scope of work entails revising the existing Statutory Exemption Analysis prepared for the RC-2a Annex to reflect the current design and location of the RC-la Annex. The currently proposed RC-la Annex would be developed independently of the proposed Apple Campus 2,for which a Draft EIR was recently published. The preparation of the revised environmental review documentation will be staffed by the same LSA personnel working on the Apple Campus 2 EIR: Judith Malamut,Principal;Adam Weinstein, Associate/Project Manager;and Caroline Park,Assistant Planner.Judith,Adam,and Caroline will be supported by other staff,including word processing and graphics staff PROJECT UNDERSTANDING Apple is proposing to construct the RC-la Annex,which would be a temporary building on the Apple Campus 2 site,to house testing facilities for new technologies and building materials.The building would be Iocated on a 43,600-square-foot site adjacent to Interstate 280 that is currently occupied by a building(RC-1)containing primarily office uses. As part of the project,RC-1 would be demolished. The RC-la Annex would be a maximum of 20 feel:in height and would be open on two sides and partially open at the roof.The building would be removed as part of construction of Apple Campus 2. The design and location of the RC-la Annex would be different than the RC-2 Annex.The RC-la Annex would require a Temporary Use Permit,which would be processed ministerially by City staff. WORK PROGRAM APPROACH Because the RC-la Annex is a ministerial project,it would be subject to a Statutory Exemption pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Section 15268 (Ministerial Projects). Section 15268 states:"Ministerial projects are exempt from the requirements of CEQA."However,the City seeks to document the potential effects of the RC-la Annex project to support the Statutory Exemption and to impose conditions of approval on the project to reduce anticipated short-term effects. PLANNING 1 ENVIRONMENTAL SCIENCES 1 DESIGN LSA ASSOCIATES, INC. SCOPE OF WORK LSA will revise the existing Statutory Exemption Analysis prepared for the RC-2a Annex to reflect the current design and location of the RC-la Annex.The Statutory Exemption Analysis includes a brief project description and a discussion of the consistency of the annex project with the thresholds summarized in CEQA Guidelines Section 15268 for ministerial projects, LSA will provide one digital draft copy of the memorandum to the City for review and comment. LSA will then revise the memorandum and prepare a final digital version.The memorandum is intended to comprise the final CEQA documentation for the project.The City would be responsible for all noticing. ASSUMPTIONS This scope of work is based on the following assumptions: • No additional technical analysis will be required to prepare the environmental documentation beyond what is already available. • The City will be responsible for preparing and distributing the Notice of Exemption. BUDGET AND SCHEDULE For completion of the scope of work discussed above,LSA proposes a total not-to-exceed budget of $5,000.We will prepare the first draft of the memorandum within 2-3 weeks of authorization to proceed. We look forward to continuing work with the City on projects at the Apple Campus.Please feel free to call or e-mail if you have any questions. Sincerely, LSA ASSOCIATES,INC.
