The subject property is located off of McClellan Rd and is surrounded by other single-family properties
with similar zoning (R1-10, R1-7.5, and R1-6) and general plan land use designations (Low Density
Residential, 1-5 dwellings/gross acre). Further to the west is a church property zoned quasi-
public/institutional. Currently, the site consists of a single-family home with carports and sheds; all
structures on-site are proposed to be demolished prior to the recordation of the parcel map.

DISCUSSION: N
Subc�ivision Design
The project proposes to create three lots that are oriented north to south, with vehicular, pedestrian, and
emergency access to be provided by a new private roadway/cul-de-sac consistent with the Santa Clara
6
TM-2012-03, Z-2012-01(EA-2012-0-�) McClellan Road Subciivision August 27, 2013
County Fire Department requirements for access. The proposed private cul-de-sac is expected to be a
shared driveway to facilitate access to any future subdivision request for the single family property
immediate to the west of the project.
A preliminary site plan has been prepared demonstrating how the future developments will comply
with the R1 regulations, parking requirements, and landscaped front, side, and rear yard areas. The
project demonstrates compatible yard-to-yard relationships: rear-to-rear and side-to-side that help make
the development pattern compatible with the surrounding area.
Street Frontage Improvements
The project proposes a new detached sidewalk along McClellan Rd. In addition, the first 30' of the
property shall be reserved for street frontage improvements. The private access roadway and cul-de-sac
will include a new monolithic sidewalk, curb and gutter, and driveways. Prior to final occupancy, the
applicant will be required to work with staff to record a landscape easement located adjacent to and east
of the monolithic sidewalk to be maintained as landscaping on the private lots. A condition of approval
has been added to reflect this requirement.
Conceptual Tzvo-Story Plans
The applicant has submitted conceptual site plan and elevations demonstrating that the new lots can
facilitate reasonable and compatible house designs. The elevations, architectural details, and fa�ade
treatment illustrated in Attachment 5 are intended to be representative of the future residences and are
compatible with the existing neighborhood. The applicant/property owner is required to go through a
separate design review process prior to the construction of the new homes.
General Plan Conformance
The General Plan Land Use designation is "Low Density Residential (1-5 dwellings per gross acre)" and
the applicant is proposing a density of 3.12 dwelling unit/acre, which is consistent with City's general
plan.
Rezoning
The project also includes a zoning request to rezone the property from R1-10 (minimum lot size 10,000
square feet) to R1-7.5 (minimum lot sizes of 7,500 square feet). Staff supports the rezoning request
because the R1-7.5 zoning district is consistent with predominate zoning classification of the
neighborhood. In addition, the proposed parcels meet all other single-family residential site
development regulations.
Trees
An arborist report was prepared by one of the City's consulting arborist for the proposed project (see
Attachment 2). The City Arborist surveyed approximately 100 trees on the property, most of which were
small fruit trees, well below the city standard for protection. The arborist considered 27 of the 100 trees to
be significant in size. Of the 27 trees, only one is considered a protected tree per the City's Protected Tree
Ordinance (Tree #38, a 36" Coast Live Oak tree). Although the soil beneath the Oak tree canopy is
impacted with elevated levels of pesticides, a plan for remediation to save the tree has been reviewed and
approved by the City's consulting arborist and the County of Santa Clara, Department of Environmental
Health. Additional confirmation sampling will be taken after remediation to ensure no impacted soil
remains. If after the remediation the health of the tree declines, a separate tree removal permit will be
7
TM-2012-03, Z-2012-01(EA-2012-0-�) McClellan Road Subciivision August 27, 2013
required to be applied for and approved prior to removal. A consulting arborist will be required to
review all construction, grading, trenching, or excavation work proposed near Tree #38. The
recommendations are incorporated as conditions or approval.
An English Walnut tree (Tree #46) located at the southwest corner of the property will also remain;
however, all other trees will be removed as part of the project to facilitate the future residences and the
private road. It is anticipated that future street trees and privacy tree planting will help compensate for
this tree loss.
ENVIRONMENTAL ASSESSMENT
The Initial Study (Attachment 3) was presented before the Environmental Review Committee (ERC) at its
meeting of August 1, 2013. The ERC voted unanimously to recommend a Mitigated Negative Declaration
for the project to the Planning Commission (Attachment 4). Additional mitigation measures will be
required as conditions of approval to reduce impacts of the project to a less than significant leveL They
include mitigation for:
• Siological Resources (Tree Removals, Surveys of Nesting Birc�s � Bats, anc� Tree Protection
Rec�uiremen ts)
• Cultural Resources (Arc{iaeological or Paleontological Deposits or Human Remains anc�/or Cultural
Material)
• Hazardous Material (Leac�anc�Pesticic�e-Impactec� Soil, Survey for Asbestos anc�Leac�-Basec�Paint)
• Noise (Restriction in Construction Hours anc� Ec�uipment, anc� Designation of a "Disturbance
Coorc�inator")
Soil Remec�iation
The applicant has commissioned the preparation of a Phase I and Phase II environment assessment.
Additional reports were commissioned which indicated elevated levels of lead, arsenic, and pesticides
where site samples were taken, most likely attributed to prior agricultural and gardening use. The
project is required to remediate the site by removing and disposing impacted soil as prescribed by
County of Santa Clara Environmental Health Department. A condition of approval has been added to
reflect this requirement. Please refer to the environmental assessment section above for additional
information.
Ot{ier DepartmentlAgency Reviezv
The City's Public Works Department, Suilding Division, the Santa Clara County Fire Department, and
the Cupertino Sanitary District reviewed the proposal and have no objections to the project. Their pre-
hearing comments have been incorporated as conditions of approval.
PERMIT STREAMLINING ACT
This project is not subject to the Permit Streamlining Act since the adoption or amendment of a zoning
ordinance is a legislative action. The following are application milestones:
Project received: May 29, 2012

August 27, 20I3 in regard to �he applica�ion; and
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED;
After careful considerat�on of the, maps, facts, exhibi�s, �estimony and other evidence submit�ed
in this matter, the Planning Commzssion hereby recommends approval of Application na. Z-2012-
01 based upon the findings described in Section II o# this resolution, the pubXxc hearxng arecoxd
and the Minutes of Planning Commission Meeting of August 27, 2Q13, and subject to the
conditions specified in Section��Z of this resolution.
SECTTQN II: FINDINGS
1. That �he p�oposed zoning is in accord with this title of the Municipal Code and �he City's
Camprehensive General Plan.
The rezoning is in conforrnance with the GeneYal Plan Land Use Map of the City of Cupertino, since
the Iand use designation widi be identical (I.ow Density, 1-5 density units/gross acre) and is
consistenf with ari provisians within the City's Municipad Code. For example, �he project is
proposing additiona2 housing units for a more balanced rati� of jobs and housing (GP Policy 2-19).
23
Draft ResoIution Z-2012-01 August 27,2013
2. The proposed zoning is in complianc� wi�h the provisions of fhe California Environmental
Quality Act (CEQA).
A mitigated negative declaration ("MND") was prepared which anaiyzed biological resources,
cultural resources, hazardous rnaterial, �oise, air quality, geoiogy and soils, water quality, parkrand
and other potentiad enz�ironmentad irnpacts in accordance with CEQA requirements. The Initiar
Study determined that these potential environmental ianpac�s were eitheY less �h�n significant or wiIi
be dess than significant with irnplementation of the reguired rnitigation measures identified in the
MND.
3. The sifie is physically suitable (including, but not limited to, access, provision of utiliti�s,
compatibility wi�h adjoining land uses, and absence af physical constraints) for the requested
zoning designa�ion(s} and anHcipated land use deveXopment(s).
The property invoIved is adequate in size and shape to conform to the new zoning designatian and is
appropriately configured to accammodate reasonabde single family dwelling units. The proposed
rezoning is compatible with the adjoining 2and uses and no physical constraints are present tha�
wauld conflict with anticiputed la�cd use deveropment. Provision of utilities and related infrastructure
to service the property are required as part of the future deveiopment.
• 4. The proposed zorung will promote orderly development of the City.
The rezoning prornotes the orderl� development of the city in tha� �he rezoning facilitates the
development of additionar hous#ng unzts wheYe municipal services are currently avaiiabie. The
proposed rezoning mirrors existing single family development pattern within the surrounding
neighborhood.
5. That the proposed zoning is not detrimental to the health, safety, peace, morais and general
welfare of persor�s residing or working in the neighborhood of subject parcels.
The proposed rezoning is no� detrimentar to the hea2th, safety, peaee, morals ut�d generar wedfare of the
persons residing or working in the neighborhood of subject parcels, as relevunt mitigation rneasures
will be incor�porated as part of the CEQA review process to rrtitigate potentiai impacts to a dess than
significant level, irt addition ta adherence to ald City reguiations.

An Evaluation of the Existing Trees at

AN EVALUATION OF THE EXISTING TREES AT
20840 McCLELLAN ROAD
CUPERTINO, CALIFORNIA
Assignment
I was asked by Alci Honda—Snelling, Senior Planner for the City of Cupertinq to
evaluate the existing trees located at 20840 McClellan Road, Cupertino.
The plan provided for this evaluation is the Conceptual Grading and Drainage Plan,
prepared by an engineer identified as JC, dated 12/1/11.
Summary
There are approximately 100 trees on this property. However, many of the trees are small
fruit trees, well below the city standard for protection. Several of the fruit trees are in
poor condition. For this inventory I have included 27 trees, which are significant in size. I
have described each one briefly and have rated the health and structural integrity of each
specimen separately on a scale of 1-5: (1)Excellent, (2) Good, (3)Fair, (4) Poor, (5)
Extremely Poor.
Metallic labels have been affixed to the trees starting with 6530 and ending with 6549.
Because all of the trees start with the same two digits (65), I have used only the last two
digits for this report and for the marlc-up of the map. Trees are referenced in this report
by only the last two digits. The attached map shows the locations of the 27 trees.
Tree# 34 represents a row of 8 European olive trees, all of similar size and condition.
Tree# 38 is a large coast live oalc(Qzze��czzs�ag��ifolia)in excellent condition. It appears
that it may be a challenge to preserve this tree, but the mitigations required to preserve it
would be well worth it. Not only would its survival depend on the final plans, and on the
care exhibited by the contractors, but ultimately on the activities of 2 adjacent home
owners.
Methods
I measured the trunks of the 27 trees using a standard measuring tape at 4 '/�feet above
soil grade(referred to as DBH or Diameter at Breast Height), except those specimens
whose form does not allow for a representative measurement at this height. When
possible, the trunk measurement is taken below the lowest fork on the trunk of a multi-
stem specimen. I measured large coast live oalc Tree# 38 with a forestry service
"diameter tape" for greater accuracy. The canopy height and spread are estimated using
visual references only. The estimated shape of the canopy relative to the other nearby
trees has been added to the attached map.

An Evaluation of the Existing Trees at
20840 McClellan Road, Cupertino
The condition of each tree was done by visual assessment only from a standing position
without climbing or using aerial equipment. No invasive equipment was used.
Consequently, it is possible that individual tree(s) may have internal defects, which are
not detectable by visual inspection. Invasive exploratory inspection and analysis is
beyond the scope of this evaluation.
Observations
There are 27 trees included in this tree survey. The attached map shows the locations of
a1127 trees and their approximate canopy dimensions. Metallic labels have been affixed
to the trees for field reference.
The 27 trees are classified as follows:
Trees # 30, 31 — Southern magnolia(Magr�oJia g��ar�dif7o��a)
Trees # 32, 33, 34 (representing 8 trees)—European olive (Olea ezzt�opea)
Trees # 35, 46, 47, 48, 49 —English walnut(Izzglar�s�t�egia)
Trees # 36, 37, 38 —Coast live oalc(Qzzet�czzs�agt�ifolia)
Tree# 39—Pecan (Catya illir�oir�es�is�)
Trees #40, 42 —Monterey pine (Pir�zzs�t�adiata)
Tree# 41 —Italian stone pine (Pir�zzs�pir�ea)
Trees #43, 44 —Apple(Malzzs�species�)
Trees #45 —Canary Island pine(Pir�zzs�car�at�ier�s�is�)
All of these 27 trees are listed by number on the attached data sheet. This data sheet
provides the basic data about each of the trees, including trunlc diameter, height, spread,
health, structural integrity. The health and structural integrity of each specimen is rated
on a scale of 1-5: (1)Excellent, (2) Good, (3)Fair, (4)Poor, (5)Extremely Poor.
There are numerous small fruit trees on this property as we1L Many of the fruit trees are
in fair to poor condition.
Comments about Specific Trees
The southern magnolia Trees # 30 and 31, located adjacent to McClellan Road, have been
topped for line clearing. The growth of the stems following"Topping" is inherently
wealc and prone to failure. For this reason, the value and importance of this trees to this
site are greatly reduced as a result.
Tree# 36, a coast live oak, and Tree# 42, a Monterey pine, have co-dominant leaders
with included barlc. This condition often results in a major limb failure as the tree
matures. The common method to manage this wealcness is to install cables, which in
most cases prevents failures of this type.

An Evaluation of the Existing Trees at
20840 McClellan Road, Cupertino
Tree# 38, is a 36 inch diameter coast live oak(Qzze��czzs�ag��ifolia). Its health is excellent
and its structure is quite good. The canopy is approximately 40 feet in height and the
canopy spread is approximately 60 feet. Tree #38 is by far the largest and the best
specimen among the trees on this property.
Protected Trees
The City of Cupertino ( Chapter 14.18 ) " finds that the preservation of specimen and
heritage trees on private and public property, and the protection of all trees during
construction, is necessary for the best interests of the City and of the citizens and the
public thereo£" The City "finds it is in the public interest to enact regulations controlling
the care and removal of specimen and heritage trees..." A"Heritage Tree" means "any
tree or grove of trees which, because of factors, but not limited tq its historic value,
unique quality, girth, height or species, has been found by the Architectural and Site
Approval Committee to have a special significance to the community." A "Specimen
tree" means any of the following:
Species Measurement from Single Trunlc Multi-Trunlc
Natural Grade Diameter/Circumference Diameter/Circumference
Oalc trees; 4 '/�feet 10 inches (31 inches C ) 20 inches D (63 inches C)
California Buciceye
Big Leaf 4 '/�feet 12 inches (38 inches C ) 25 inches D (79 inches C)
Maple;
Deodar Cedar;
Blue Atlas Cedar
Risks to Trees By Proposed Construction
The current conceptual plan would require the removal of the following trees: Trees # 33,
34 (8 olive trees), Trees # 35, 36, 37, 39, 40, 41, 42, 43, 44, 45, 47, 48, and 49. Although
some of these would not be directly in the path of a construction feature, they would be
so severely damaged (root damage and canopy losses)that they could not be expected to
survive. These include Tree# 34, 43, 44, 47, 48, and 49.
Although Tree#46 may survive construction, the English walnut species (Jzzglar�s���egia)
species, commonly performs poorly in most landscapes, and usually has a very short life
span in urban developments.
Because the plans are conceptual and preliminary, it is not possible to assess all of the
potential rislcs to Tree# 38. In iny opinion, it would be essential that a consulting arborist
review all of the proposed plans, including the Utility Plan, the final Grading and
Drainage Plan, the Site Plan, and the Landscape Plan, to address the potential rislcs to
Prepared by Michael L. Bench, Consulting Arborist December 20, 2011 3
29
An Evaluation of the Existing Trees at
20840 McClellan Road, Cupertino
Tree# 38. However, the sacrifice of all of the aforementioned trees would be worth the
preservation of Tree# 38, provided the developer, the contractor and the new home
owners would be willing to malce the necessary modifications and changes that may be
required to preserve Tree# 3 8.
Recommendations
L I recommend that a consulting arborist be required to review all of the proposed
plans, including the Utility Plan, the final Grading and Drainage Plan, the Site
Plan, and the Landscape Plan, to address the potential rislcs to Tree# 38.
2. I recommend that there be no grading, trenching, or excavation in the critical root
zone area of Tree# 38 within a radius distance of 30 feet of the trunlc. There are
minor exceptions, which would require the review and supervision of a
Consulting Arborist(this is a person with a higher level of training and experience
than a Certified Arborist).

SECTION 1.0 INTRODUCTION AND PURPOSE
This Initial Study of environmental impacts has been prepared to conform to the requirements of the
California Environmental Quality Act(CEQA), the CEQA Guidelines (California Code of
Regulations 15000 et. seq.) and the regulations and policies of the City of Cupertino. The City of
Cupertino is the Lead Agency under CEQA and has prepared this Initial Study to address the impacts
of the proposed 20840 McClellan Road Rezoning and Subdivision on the 0.96-acre project site south
of McClellan Road at its intersection with Bonny Drive.
The proj ect proposes a four-lot subdivision to construct a private roadway and single-family
residences on three parcels. An e�sting single-family residence and smaller residential building with
associated carports and sheds would be demolished to accommodate the proposed development.
Tiering of Environmental Review
CEQA Section 21093 (b) states that environmental impact reports shall be tiered whenever feasible,
as determined by the lead agency. "Tiering" refers to using the analysis of general matters contained
in a broader Environmental Impact Report(EIlZ) (such as one prepared for a general plan or policy
statement)in subsequent EIRs or Initial Studies/negative declarations on narrower proj ects; and
concentrating the later environmental review on the issues specific to the later project [CEQA
Guidelines 15152 (a)].
Tiering is appropriate when it helps a public agency to focus on issues at each level of environmental
review and to a�oid or eliminate duplicative analysis of environmental effects examined in previous
environmental impact reports [CEQA Guideline 21093 (a)].
In accordance with CEQA Sections 21093(a) and 21093(b) and CEQA Guidelines Section 15152(a),
this Initial Study tiers off the City of Cupertino General Plan Final EIR(State Clearinghouse
#2002122061) certified by the City Council on November 15, 2005. In several areas, such as land
use and population and housing this Initial Study tiers off the analysis of planned growth and
development in the 2005 City of Cupertino General Plan Final EIR. This Initial Study evaluates the
project specific environmental impacts that were not addressed in the General Plan Final EIR and
those that might reasonably be anticipated to result from the implementation of the proposed 20840
McClellan Road Rezoning and Subdivision project.

SECTION 3.0 PROJECT DESCRIPTION
3.1 OVERVIEW
The appro�mately 0.96-acre proj ect site fronts McClellan Road at its intersection with Bonny Drive
in the City of Cupertino. The project site contains two residences with an associated carport and two
sheds. The proposed rezoning of the site would result in demolition of the e�sting buildings and
allow for construction of three(3)two-story residences and a private driveway.
The proj ect site is located in a residential area of Cupertino and is designated in the City's General
Plan for Lo���Density Residential(1-�DLI"Gr. Ac.) land uses. The project site is zoned RI-10-Single
Family Residential which allows for single-family residential development on 10,000 square foot
lots. The proposed project would rezone the site to RI-7.�-Single Family Residential to allow future
construction of three single-family residences on lots exceeding 7,500 square feet.
3.2 PROPOSED REZONING
Proposed Parcels
The proj ect proposes the subdivision of the property Table 3.2-1
into four lots to allow the future construction of three Development Summary
(3) single-family residences and a private road (refer
Parcel Size Allowed Residence
to Figure 3.2-1). Parcels A through C on the site Parcel �
(s.f.) Size(s.f.)
would be redeveloped with single-family residences parcel A 8,051 3,622
(refer to Figure 3.2-2) and Parcel D would be the Parcel B 8,399 3,779
private road serving these residences. The proposed Parcel C 9,��8 �,251
parcels and allowed residence sizes are shown in Parcel D 13,075 --
'1'able 3.2-1. Notes: s.£=square feet
'Based on the R1-7.5-Single Familv Residential Zoning Ihstrict
mavmum floor area ratio of 45°o of the net lot area.
Site Development Standards
Site development standards for the proposed zoning district(R1-7.5-Single Family Residential)
include:
• Minimum lot size of 7,500 square feet with a minimum lot width of 60 feet;
• Conformance with the Landscape Ordinance;
• Ma�mum floor area ratio of 45 percent of the net lot area;
• Minimum first floor front setbacic of 20 feet, side yard setbacic of 15 feet combined, and rear yard

Sectio�r 3.0—ProjectDescriptio�r
Site Access and Parking
The proj ect would provide vehicular access to the site via a private road off of McClellan Road.
Sidewallcs would be provided along the south and east sides of the private road and along the
McClellan Road frontage of the site. As shown on Figure 3.2-1, visitor parl�ing could be provided by
six curb side parl�ing spaces on the proposed private road.
Demolifion and Grading
An e�sting single-family residence and smaller residential building with associated carports and
sheds would be demolished to accommodate future development of residential structures on the site.
Appro�mately 98 e�sting orchard and landscape trees would also be removed as a part of site
clearing(refer to Figure 3.2-1 and Section 4.4.2.2 Trees). The project site is flat and, therefore,
minimal grading is required to prepare the site for future development.
Remediation worlc on the site will also require the removal of 0.5 to 1.5 feet of top soil from
contaminated areas of the site and the importation of clean fill (refer to Section 4.8.2.1).
Landscaping
A preliminary planting plan for the site is shown on Figure 3.2-3. Two e�sting trees could be
retained on site, including a large oalc tree on Parcel A and a walnut tree on Parcel C at the southwest
corner of the property (refer to Figure 3.2-3). Retention of the large oalc tree on Parcel A is
contingent on the completion of remediation activities beneath its canopy without significantly
impacting the root structure and overall health of the tree(refer to Section 4.8.2.1). If retained, the
final disposition of the tree will be determined following remediation of the site based upon an
evaluation by the City's consulting arborist.
Right-of-Way Dedication
The proj ect will dedicate 3,000 square feet(appro�mately 0.07 acres) of the frontage of the site to
the City of Cupertino. The project site currently e�tends to the center line of McClellan Road and
includes an AT&T telecommunications easement. The 30-foot wide street right-of-way along the
length of the project frontage will be owned and maintained by the City.

SECTION 4.0 ENVIRONMENTAL SETTING, CHECKLIST, AND
DISCUSSION OF IMPACTS
This section describes the e�sting environmental conditions on and near the proj ect area, as well as
environmental impacts associated with the proposed project. The environmental checl�list, as
recommended in the California Environmental Quality Act(CEQA) Guidelines, identifies
environmental impacts that could occur if the proposed project is implemented.
The right-hand column in the checl�list lists the source(s)for the answer to each question. The
sources cited are identified at the end of this section. Mitigation measures are identified for all
significant project impacts. "Mitigation Measures" are measures that will minimize, a�oid, or
eliminate a significant impact(CEQA Guidelines §15370).
4.1 AESTHETICS
4.1.1 Setting
4.1.1.1 Project Site
The proj ect site contains a single-family residence which fronts McClellan Road. An additional
residence is located behind the main residence and is not visible from the public right-of-way. Views
of the proj ect site from McClellan Road are mostly obscured by mature trees and vegetation(refer to
Photos 1 and 2). The 1950s era residences are constructed of wood and stucco. The property is
accessed by a semi-circular driveway with two entry points from McClellan Road. The site is flat
and public views of the site are limited to local views from the adjacent roadways.
4.1.1.2 Sun^oun�ling Visu�cl C'h�cr�ccter
The proj ect site is surrounded by e�sting suburban residential development and a roadway. One and
two-story wood and stucco clad single family residential buildings are located on adjacent properties.
McClellan Road also contains quasi-public uses west of the project site(e.g. daycare, school,
churches) and commercial uses are located east of the site at its intersection with DeAnza Boulevard.
McClellan Road is an east/west minor collector roadway used by automobiles and buses. Mature
landscape trees and shrubs in the neighborhood provide a visual buffer between residences and the
heavily tra�elled roadway.

4.1.1.3 Scenic Vie�vs
The Montebello foothills at the south and west boundaries of the valley floor provide a scenic
backdrop to the City of Cupertino. The project site is flat and does not provide prominent viewpoints
of scenic resources from public vantage points. Views of the foothills from the project site are
obscured by vegetation.

Aesthetic values are, by their nature, very subjective. Opinions as to what constitutes a degradation
of visual character will differ among individuals. One of the best available means for assessing what
constitutes a visually acceptable standard for new buildings are the City's design standards and
implementation of those standards through the City's design process. The following discussion
addresses the proposed changes to the visual setting of the proj ect area and factors that are part of the
community's assessment of the aesthetic values of a project's design.
4.1.2.1 Imp�cct to Scenic Vieivs or Scenic Resources
The project site is located within a developed area on the floor of the Santa Clara Valley. The site
does not provide scenic open space and is not located along a state scenic highway. Redevelopment
of this suburban site, therefore, would not ha�e a direct adverse effect on a scenic vista or damage
scenic resources.
As discussed previously, scenic views from the proj ect vicinity are limited. In addition, views of the
site are limited to the immediate area. The foothills west and south of the site are generally obscured
by e�sting development and landscape trees. Implementation of the proposed project would not

substantially block scenic views and is not anticipated to have a substantial effect on a scenic vista.
(No Impact)
4.1.2.2 C'h�cnge in Visu�cl C'h�cr�ccter
The visual character of buildings is a function of design features including roof design (for example
flat versus pitched or sloping roofs) and fenestration(window design), as well as building height.
Building heights within a structure can also be varied (or modulated)in ways that add interest or
soften a building's interface with the street. For example, building heights can be"stepped back"
with shorter elevations in the front and varying roof shapes and heights can reduce the apparent mass
of a building and create an appearance that fits into an area with different heights and varying roof
styles. The design of building entrances, including use of awnings or porches, and other features can
reduce the mass and perception of overall building scale at street and pedestrian interfaces.
The scale and mass of buildings on the project site would increase under the proposed project. The
proposed project would replace an e�sting single-story residence, visible from the roadway, with a
private road and two-story residences visible from the public right-of-way. A representative
conceptual elevation for these residences is shown in Figure 3.2-2. New trees will be planted on the
site and along the street frontage that would soften views of the new development. The project
would dedicate 30 feet of right-of-way along the street frontage which would allow for the
construction of a sidewallc where none e�sts today.
Final building and landscaping design would be determined during the Two-Story Permit process.
The allowed building size and conceptual elevations for future residences on the site are similar to
more recent(mid-1990s) development located east of the site. Residences allowed on the site,
therefore, would not substantially degrade the visual character and quality of the project site or area.
(Less Than Significant Impact)
4.1.2.3 Light�cn�l Gl�cre Imp�ccts
The proj ect would have windows and lighting typical of two-story residential construction (refer to
Figure 3.2-2). Additional residential lighting on the project site would not be substantially greater
than that created by e�sting residences in the project area. The project, therefore, would not result in
substantial light or glare impacts that would adversely affect residences or other land uses
surrounding the project site. (Less Than Significant Impact)
4.1.3 Conclusion
The proposed project would not result in significant visual or aesthetic impacts. (Less Than
Significant Impact)

4.2 AGRICULTURE AND FORESTRY RESOURCES
4.2.1 Setting
4.2.1.1 Agricultur�cl Resources
According to the Santa Clara County Important Farmland 2010 map, the project site is designated as
Urban and B7�ilt-Up Land. Urban and B7�ilt-Up Land is defined as residential land with a density of
at least six units per 10-acre parcel, as well as land used for industrial and commercial purposes, golf
courses, landfills, airports, sewage treatment, and water control structures.
Currently, the project site is not used for agricultural purposes and is not the subject of a Williamson
Act contract. The site is located within an urban area of Cupertino and there is no property used for
agricultural purposes adjacent to the project site.
4.2.1.2 Forestry Resourees
The project site does not contain any forest land and no forest or timberland is located in the vicinity
of the proj ect site.

4.3 AIR QUALITY
4.3.1 Setting
4.3.1.1 C'linucte�cn�l Topogr�cphy
The City of Cupertino is located in the Santa Clara Valley within the San Francisco Bay Area Air
Basin. The project area's pro�mity to both the Pacific Ocean and the San Francisco Bay has a
moderating influence on the climate. This portion of the Santa Clara Valley is bounded to the north
by the San Francisco Bay and the Santa Cruz Mountains to the southwest. The surrounding terrain
greatly influences winds in the valley, resulting in a prevailing wind that follows along the valley's
northwest-southwest a�s.
Pollutants in the air can cause health problems, especially for children, the elderly, and people with
heart or lung problems. Healthy adults may experience symptoms during periods of intense exercise.
Pollutants can also cause damage to vegetation, animals, and property.
4.3.1.2 Region�cl�cn�l Loc�cl C'riteri�c Pollut�cnts
Maj or criteria pollutants, listed in"criteria" documents by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency
(USEPA) and the California Air Resources Board (CARB)include ozone, carbon mono�de,
nitrogen dio�de, sulfur dio�de, and suspended particulate matter(P1V�. These pollutants can have
health effects such as respiratory impairment and heart/lung disease symptoms.
Violations of ambient air quality standards are based on air pollutant monitoring data and are judged
for each air pollutant. The Bay Area as a whole does not meet state or federal ambient air quality
standards for ground level ozone and PM�;and state standards for PMio. The area is considered
attainment or unclassified for all other pollutants.
4.3.1.3 Loc�cl C'ommunity Risks/Toxic Air C'ont�cmin�cnts�cn�l Fine P�crticul�cte M�ctter
Besides criteria air pollutants, there is another group of substances found in ambient air referred to as
To�c Air Contaminants (TACs). These contaminants tend to be localized and are found in relatively
low concentrations in ambient air. However, they can result in adverse chronic health effects if
exposure to low concentrations occurs for long periods.
Fine Particulate Matter(PM�;)is a complex mi�ture of substances that includes elements such as
carbon and metals; compounds such as nitrates, organics, and sulfates; and complex mi�tures such as
diesel e�aust and wood smolce. Long-term and short-term exposure to PM�; can cause a wide range
of health effects.
Common stationary source types of TACs and PM�; include gasoline stations, dry cleaners, and
diesel bacicup generators which are subject to permit requirements. The other, often more significant,
common source is motor vehicles on freeways and roads.

4.3.1.4 Sensitive Reeeptors
BAAQMD defines sensitive receptors as facilities where sensitive receptor population groups
(children, the elderly, the acutely ill and the chronically ill) are lilcely to be located. These land uses
include residences, school playgrounds, child-care centers, retirement homes, convalescent homes,
hospitals and medical clinics. Existing sensitive receptors near the project site include the residential
uses to the north, east, west, and south of the project site and the daycare center/school to the west
(refer to Figure 2.2-3).
4.3.1.5 Regul�ctory Setting
The City of Cupertino is within the San Francisco Bay Area Air Quality Management District
(BAAQMD). BAAQMD is the agency primarily responsible for assuring that the federal and state
ambient air quality standards are maintained in the San Francisco Bay Area. Air quality standards
are set by the federal government(the 1970 Clean Air Act and its subsequent amendments) and the
state(California Clean Air Act of 1988 and its subsequent amendments).
Regional air quality management districts such as the BAAQMD must prepare air quality plans
specifying how state standards would be met. The BAAQMD's most recently adopted Clean Air
Plan (CAP)is the Bay Area 2010 Clean Air Plan (2010 CAP). This plan includes a comprehensive
strategy to reduce emissions from stationary, area, and mobile sources. The 2010 CAP provides an
updated comprehensive plan to improve Bay Area air quality and protect public health, tal�ing into
account future growth projections to 2035. Some of these measures or programs rely on local
governments for implementation. The 2010 CAP also includes measures designed to reduce
greenhouse gas emissions.

4.3.2.1 Project-Level Signific�cnce Threshol�ls
The thresholds of significance for criteria air pollutants are a net increase of 54 pounds or more per
day of reactive organic gas (ROG), nitrous o�de (NO,)> and/or PM�;; or 82 pounds or more a day of
PMio. These thresholds are based on thresholds identified by BAAQMD in 2011. i
The BAAQMD CEQA Air Quality Guidelines recommend that proj ects be evaluated for community
rislc when they are located within 1,000 feet of freeways, high traffic volume roadways (10,000
a�erage annual daily trips or more), and/or stationary permitted sources of TACs. The thresholds for
TACs are an increased cancer rislc of greater than 10.0 in one million, increased non-cancer rislc of
greater than 1.0 on the hazard index(chronic or acute), or a PM�; increase of 0.3 µg/m'.
4.3.2.2 C'le�cn Air Pl�cn C'onsistency
Determining consistency with the 2010 CAP involves assessing whether applicable control measures
contained in the 2010 CAP are implemented. Implementation of control measures improve air
quality and protect public health. These control measures are organized into five categories:
Stationary Source Measures, Mobile Source Measures, Transportation Control Measures (TCMs),
Land Use and Local Impact Measures, and Energy and Climate Measures. Applicable control
measures and the project's consistency with them are summarized in Table 4.3-1, below. The
proposed project is generally consistent with the control measures.

4.3.2.3 Short-Term C'onstruction-Rel�cte�llmp�ccts
Criteria Air Pollutants and Precursors
Construction activities would temporarily affect local air quality. Construction activities such as
earthmoving, construction vehicle traffic, and wind blowing over exposed earth would generate
e�aust emissions and fugitive particulate matter emissions that affect local and regional air quality.
Construction activities are also a source of organic gas emissions. Solvents in adhesives, non-water
based paints, thinners, some insulating materials, and caull�ing materials would evaporate into the
atmosphere and would participate in the photochemical reaction that creates urban ozone. Asphalt
used in pa�ing is also a source of organic gases for a short time after its application.
Construction dust could affect local air quality at various times during construction of the project.
The dry, windy climate of the area during the summer months creates a high potential for dust
generation when and if underlying soils are exposed to the atmosphere. Construction activities
would increase dustfall and locally elevated levels of PMio downwind.
The proj ect is not of a size(three single-family units)that it would contribute significantly to criteria
pollutant emissions. For all proposed projects, BAAQMD recommends implementation of the Basic
Construction Mitigation Measures whether or not construction-related emissions exceed applicable
thresholds. Consistent with the BAAQIVID CEQA Air Quality Guidelines, the project includes the
implementation of the following updated dust and construction equipment e�aust control measures
to reduce construction-related air pollutant emissions.
The proj ect shall implement the following dust and diesel e�aust control measures recommended by
BAAQMD and required by the City during the construction phase of the project:
• All exposed surfaces (e.g., parl�ing areas, staging areas, soil piles, graded areas, and unpa�ed
access roads) shall be watered two times per day.
• All haul trucks transporting soil, sand, or other loose material on-site shall be covered.
• All visible mud or dirt tracic-out onto adjacent public roads shall be removed using wet power
vacuum street sweepers at least once per day. The use of dry power sweeping is prohibited.
• All vehicle speeds on unpa�ed roads shall be limited to 15 mph.
• All roadways, driveways, and sidewallcs to be paved shall be completed as soon as possible.
Building pads shall be laid as soon as possible after grading unless seeding or soil binders are
used.
• Post a publicly visible sign with the telephone number and person to contact at the lead
agency regarding dust complaints. This person shall respond and take corrective action
within 48 hours. The Air District's phone number shall also be visible to ensure compliance
with applicable regulations.
• Idling times shall be minimized either by shutting equipment off when not in use or reducing
the ma�mum idling time to 5 minutes (as required by the California airborne to�cs control
measure Title 13, Section 2485 of California Code of Regulations [CCR]). Clear signage
shall be provided for construction worlcers at all access points.

• All construction equipment shall be maintained and properly tuned in accordance with
manufacturer`s specifications. All equipment shall be checiced by a certified visible
emissions evaluator.
The construction emissions from the project are below the BAAQMD thresholds of significance used
in this evaluation and the Basic Construction Mitigation Measures will be included on project plan
documents prior to issuance of any building permits for the construction of residences on the site.
The proposed project, therefore, would not result in a significant construction-related air quality
impact. (Less Than Significant Impact)
Local Community Risks and Hazards During Construction
Construction equipment and associated hea�y-duty trucic traffic generates diesel e�aust, which is a
known TAC. Health risks from TACs are a function of both concentration and duration of exposure.
The proposed project does not involve substantial grading on the site thus the potential for large
construction equipment to emit significant quantities of TACs over prolonged periods of time is
minimal. The project construction period requiring heavy equipment is estimated to last a few
months and involve the use of a limited amount of diesel-fueled construction equipment for grading,
exca�ation, and pa�ing. The project will implement BAAQMD's recommended Basic Construction
Mitigation Measures to reduce dust and diesel e�aust emissions. Construction of the proposed
project would not significantly increase health rislcs on adjacent sensitive receptors. (Less Than
Significant Impact)
4.3.2.4 Oper�ction�cl-Rel�cte�llmp�ccts
The 2011 BAAQMD CE�A Air�7�ality G7�idelines contains a screening threshold of 325 single-
family dwelling units for operational-related impacts due to criteria pollutant emissions and their
precursors (e.g., NO,, ROG, particulate matter). The screening criteria provide lead agencies with a
conservative indication of whether a proj ect could result in significant air quality impacts. The
project would allow construction of three single-family residences which is well below the screening
threshold and, therefore, the project would not result in a significant air quality impact due to
emissions of criteria air pollutants and their precursors. (Less Than Significant Impact)
4.3.2.5 Loc�cl C'ommunity Risks�cn�l H�cz�cr�ls Imp�ccts
As described above in Section 4.3.2.1, the BAAQMD CE�A Air�7�ality G7�idelines call for
evaluation of proj ects for community rislc when they are located within 1,000 feet of freeways, high
traffic volume roadways (10,000 average annual daily trips or more), and/or stationary permitted
sources of TACs.
There are no permitted stationary sources of TACs within 1,000 feet of the project site. Stelling
Road and De Anza Boulevard are the only roadways within 1,000 feet of the proj ect site that exceed
10,000 a�erage daily trips. Neither roadway would exceed the threshold for increased cancer rislc of
10.0 in one million, increased non-cancer risk of greater than 1.0 on the hazard index(chronic or
acute), or a PM�; increase of 0.3 µg/m'. The emission of TACs from vehicles along high volume

4.4 BIOLOGICAL RESOURCES
The following discussion is based in part on a tree survey completed by Michael L. Bench,
Cons7�lting Arborist in December 2011. A copy of the tree survey is included in Appendix A of this
Initial Study.
4.4.1 Setting
4.4.1.1 Existing C'on�litions
The 0.96-acre project site is located within a developed area of Cupertino. The project site is
currently developed with two residences an associated carport and two sheds. In addition to the
e�sting buildings, the proj ect site contains a remnant orchard.
Habitats in developed urban areas are relatively low in species diversity. Species that use this habitat
are urban and suburban adapted birds, such as Rocic Dove, Mourning Dove, House Sparrow, Scrub
Jay, and Starling. Based upon the developed habitats found on the site, no special-status plant or
animal species are expected to be present on the site.

4.4.1.2 Regul�ctory Setting
Special-Status Species
Threatened and Endan er� ed Species
State and federal"endangered species"legislation has provided the California Department of Fish
and Wildlife(CDFW) and the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service(USFWS) with a mechanism for
conserving and protecting plant and animal species of limited distribution and/or low or declining
populations.
Permits may be required from both the CDFW and USFWS if activities associated with a proposed
proj ect will result in the talce of a species listed as threatened or endangered. To "take" a listed
species, as defined by the State of California,is"to hunt, pursue, catch, capture, or l�ill, or attempt to
hunt, pursue, catch, capture or l�ill" said species (California Fish and Game Code, Section 86).
"Talce"is more broadly defined by the federal Endangered Species Act to include"harm" of a listed
species (16 USC, Section 1532(19), 50 CFR, Section 17.3).
Bats
Bats, such as the pallid bat(Antrozo��s pallid��s), may use hollows of larger, older oalc trees for
roosting in open-canopy oalc woodland, and the California myotis (Myotis californic��s) and long-
eared myotis (Myotis evotis) can occur in areas of oalc woodland with a closed canopy. Pallid bats
are listed in California as a Species of Special Concern.
Mi�ratorv Birds
State and federal laws also protect most bird species. The Federal Migratory Bird Treaty Act
(FMBTA: 16 U.S.C., scc. 703, Supp. I, 1989)prohibits l�illing, possessing, or trading in migratory
birds, except in accordance with regulations prescribed by the Secretary of the Interior. This act
encompasses whole birds, parts of birds, and bird nests and eggs.
Birds of Prev
Birds of prey, such as owls and hawlcs, are protected in California under provisions of the State Fish
and Game Code, Section 3503.5, (1992), which states that it is "unlawful to talce, possess, or destroy
any birds in the order Falconiformes or Strigiformes (birds of prey) or to talce,possess, or destroy the
nest or eggs of any such bird except as otherwise provided by this code or any regulation adopted
pursuant thereto." Construction disturbance during the breeding season could result in the incidental
loss of fertile eggs or nestlings, or otherwise lead to nest abandonment. Disturbance that causes nest
abandonment and/or loss of reproductive effort is considered "tal�ing" by the CDFW.

Trees
The City of Cupertino recognizes the substantial economic, environmental, and aesthetic importance
of its tree population. The City finds that the preservation of specimen and heritage trees on private
and public property, and the protection of all trees during construction, is necessary for the best
interests of the City and of the citizens and public (Municipal Code Chapter 14.18).
The City's Municipal Code calls for protection of"specimen" and"heritage"trees and requires a
permit prior to their removal. Specimen Trees include the following species that have a minimum
single-trunlc diameter of 10-inches (31-inches in circumference) or minimum multi-trunlc diameter of
20-inches (63-inches in circumference)measured at 4.5 feet from natural grade: oalc(including coast
live oalc, valley oalc, blacic oalc, blue oalc, and interior live oalc), California buciceye, big leaf maple,
deodar cedar, blue atlas cedar, bay laurel or California bay, and western sycamore (Municipal Code
Chapter 14.18.050). Heritage Trees are any tree or grove of trees which, because of factors
including, but not limited to, its historic value, unique quality, girth, height, or species, has been
found by the Planning Commission to ha�e a special significance to the community.
The removal of specimen trees, heritage trees, street trees, and any tree required to be planted or
retained as part of an approved development application, building permit,tree removal permit or
code enforcement action shall not be removed without first obtaining a tree removal permit
(Municipal Code Chapter 14.18.140). Of the trees surveyed for the project none are street trees and
one is a specimen tree(refer to Appendix A). There were no heritage trees identified on the proj ect
site.

Special-Status Animal Species and
Species Protected Under the Migratory Bird Treaty Act
Given the existing development on the site and lacic of suitable habitat for many special-status animal
species, the proj ect is not anticipated to result in impacts to special-status animal species with the
possible exception of tree nesting raptors and bats. The trees on the site support potential habitat for
tree nesting raptors, other birds, and roosting bat species (e.g. pallid bats, California myotis, long-
eared myotis). Tree nesting raptors, along with all migratory birds, are protected under the Migratory
Bird Treaty Act and disturbance to nests which results in nest abandonment or death would be in
violation of state and federal law. The proposed proj ect may result in the loss of suitable habitat for

pallid bats due to the removal of trees used as breeding or roosting sites. In addition, when trees that
contain roosting colonies or individual bats are removed or modified, individual bats can be
physically injured or l�illed; subjected to physiological stress as a result being disturbed during
torpor; or be subjected to increased predation due to exposure during daylight hours. Further,
project-related disturbance in close proximity to a maternity roost could potentially cause females to
abandon their young.
Impact BIO— 1: The development of the proposed project could result in direct impacts to
nesting birds, if present on the site at the time of construction. (Significant
Impact)
Impact BIO-2: The proposed project may result in disturbance to pallid bats. (Significant
Impact)
Mitigation Measures: As a condition of approval, the proposed project shall implement the
following measures to a�oid impacts to nesting raptors and special-status bat species:
Tree Nesting Birds
MM BIO-1.1: Removal of trees on the project site should be scheduled between September
and December(inclusive)to avoid the nesting season for birds and no
additional surveys would be required.
MM BIO-1.2: If removal of the trees on-site is planned to talce place between January and
August(inclusive), a pre-construction survey for nesting birds shall be
conducted by a qualified ornithologist to identify active nesting raptor or
otlier bird nests that may be disturbed during proj ect implementation.
Between January and April (inclusive)pre-construction surveys shall be
conducted no more than 14 days prior to the initiation of construction
activities or tree relocation or removal. Between May and August(inclusive),
pre-construction surveys shall be conducted no more than thirty (30) days
prior to the initiation of these activities. The surveying ornithologist shall
inspect all trees in and immediately adjacent to the construction area for nests.
If an active raptor nest is found in or close enough to the construction area to
be disturbed by these activities, the ornithologist shall, in consultation with
the State of California, Department of Fish&Wildlife(CDFV�, designate a
construction-free buffer zone around the nest until the end of the nesting
activity. Buffers for other birds shall be determined by the ornithologist.
MM BIO-1.3: A report summarizing the results of the pre-construction survey and any
designated buffer zones or protection measures for tree nesting birds shall be
submitted to the Community Development Director prior to the start of
grading or tree removaL (Less Than Significant with Mifigafion

BatS
MM BIO—2.1: A pre-demolition survey for roosting bats will be conducted prior to any
removal of buildings or trees greater than or equal to 12 inches in diameter.
A qualified bat specialist will loolc for individuals, guano, staining, and
vocalization by direct observation and potentially waiting for nighttime
emergence. The survey shall be conducted during the time of year when bats
are active, between April 1 and September 15. If demolition is planned
within this timeframe, the survey shall be conducted within 15 days of
demolition. An initial survey could be conducted to provide early warning if
bats are present, but a follow-up survey will be necessary within 15 days of
demolition and site clearing. If no bats are observed to be roosting or
breeding in structures or trees, then no further action would be required, and
demolition can proceed.
The survey will be conducted by a qualified bat biologist. No activities that
will result in disturbance to active roosts should proceed prior to the
completed surveys. If no active roosts are found, then no further action
would be warranted.
MM BIO—2.2: If an active nursery roost is located and the project cannot be redesigned to
a�oid removal of the occupied tree, removal of the tree shall commence
before maternity colonies form or after young are volant(flying). This buffer
shall be maintained from April 1 st until the young are flying, typically after
August 31st.
If a non-breeding bat hibernacula(roost)is found in a tree scheduled to be
removed, the individuals will be safely evicted, under the direction of a
qualified bat biologist by opening the roosting area to allow air flow through
the cavity or, if possible, one-way doors will be inserted into tree crevices to
allow bats to e�t, but not re-enter,the crevices. Trees with roosts that need
to be removed should first ha�e bats evicted at duslc,just prior to removal, to
allow bats to escape during the darlcer hours. (Less Than Significant with
Mitigation Incorporated)
4.4.2.2 Trees
The tree survey completed for the proj ect(refer to Appendix A) evaluated impacts to trees based on
tree health and the site design. Trees in the building and roadway footprints were assumed to be
removed. It is anticipated that a total of 98 trees would be removed to construct the proposed proj ect.
Appro�mately 73 of the trees proposed for removal are fruit trees associated with a remnant orchard
that are in poor condition. The project has been designed to maintain the one specimen tree on the
site, a coast live oalc, on Parcel A and an English walnut on Parcel C. The coast live oalc on Parcel A,
however, may require removal due to soil remediation activities beneath the tree canopy (refer to
Section 4.8.2.1). The soil remediation program beneath the canopy has been designed to a�oid

affects to the root structure and overall health of the tree. If additional soil removal is determined to
be necessary to address soil contamination, removal of the coast live oalc may be required along with
the application of a tree removal permit.
Impact BIO—3: Development of the project would result in the removal of a substantial
number of trees from the site. (Significant Impact)
Mitigation Measures: As conditions of approval, the proposed project shall implement the
following measures to reduce impacts to trees to a less than significant level:
MM BIO—3.1: The proj ect shall implement the following measures to avoid impacts to trees
proposed for retention and mitigate for tree removal:
• Protected trees to be removed shall be replaced at the following ratios
per City Municipal Code Section 14.18.185:
Table 4.4-2
Tree Replacement Ratios
Trunk Size of Removed Tree
(measured at 4.5 feet above Replacement Trees

Up to 12 inches One 24-inch box tree
Over 12 inches and up to 18
inches Two 24-inch box trees
Over 18 inches and up to 36 Two 24-inch box trees or one
inches 36-inch box tree
Over 36 inches One 36-inch box tree
• All trees proposed for retention on the site shall ha�e a designated Tree
Protection Zone(hereinafter"TPZ") based on the City Arborist's
recommendation and/or five to seven times the trurilc diameter in all
directions. The TPZ is where all grading, overexcavation, soil
scraping, trenching and compaction shall be a�oided except where
otherwise approved. The City Arborist shall be consulted to determine
an appropriate TPZ for trees proposed for retention on the site.
• Any stormwater treatment swales, bioswales and biofiltration areas
should be established beyond TPZs.
• All utilities and services (e.g. storm drain, electrical, water, sewer,
fiber optic, gas, etc.) should be routed beyond TPZs. In the event this
is not feasible, the location and pro�mity to a tree's trunlc would
dictate which of the following installation methods can offer sufficient
mitigation: mechanically excavating, hand-digging, a pneumatic air
device (such as an Air-Spade), or directional boring. For directional-
boring, the ground above any tunnel must remain undisturbed, and

access pits and any infrastructure(e.g. splice boxes, meters and vaults)
established beyond TPZs.
• Prior to grading or exca�ation, an on-site preconstruction meeting shall
be completed between the proj ect superintendent and arborist to
review placement of tree fencing and other measures for tree
protection.
• Tree protective fencing shall be installed prior to any demolition and
grading for the purpose of restricting access into a TPZ; its precise
location can be reviewed during the preconstruction meeting
previously mentioned. The fencing should consist of five-to six-foot
high chain linlc mounted on eight-foot tall, one and seven-eighths-inch
diameter galvanized steel posts that are driven into the ground 24
inches deep, and spaced apart by no more than appro�mately ten feet.
It should remain intact and maintained throughout construction, and
only removed upon completion of construction.
• The staging area(s) and routes of access must be established beyond
the TPZs.
• Fertilization, if properly applied, may benefit a tree's health, vigor and
appearance. Frior to doing so, however, soil samples shall first be
obtained to identify the pH levels and nutrient levels so a proper
fertilization program can be established. Any fertilization shall be
performed under the direction and supervision of a certified arborist,
and in accordance with ANSI A300 (Part 2) —2004 Fertilization
standards.
• Unless otherwise approved, all construction activities must be
conducted beyond TPZs, to include, but not be limited to, the
following: demolition, grading, subexca�ation, stripping of topsoil,
trenching, equipment cleaning, stocicpiling or dumping materials, and
equipment/vehicle operation and parl�ing.
• The routes of any irrigation or utility line within or ten feet from a TPZ
shall be reviewed with the project arborist before digging occurs.
• Spoils created during digging shall not be piled or spread on unpaved
ground within a TPZ. If essential, spoils can be temporarily piled on
plywood or a tarp.
• Tree trunlcs shall not be used as winch supports for moving or lifting
heavy loads.
• Any approved digging or trenching within a TPZ shall be manually
performed without heavy equipment or tractors operating on unpaved
ground beneath canopies.
• Approved trenching or exca�ation shall not damage, scrape or gouge
roots two inches and greater in diameter. In the event these roots are
encountered, the project arborist shall be notified, and they shall be
either covered with soil or wrapped in moistened burlap within a few

hours or exposure. If burlap is used, it shall remain continually moist
until the trench or area is backfilled.
• During trenching, roots encountered that have diameters less than two
inches and require removal can be cleanly severed at right angles to the
direction of root growth. In doing so, sharp cutting tools (e.g. loppers
or handsaw) shall be used, and the cut shall occur against the tree side
of the trench.
• Supplemental water must be supplied to impacted trees during the dry
months of the year(e.g. May thru October); the methodology,
frequency and amounts can be provided by the proj ect arborist.
Various methodologies include flooding the inside of a 12-inch tall
berm established around the canopy's perimeter(or as close to the
perimeter as possible), using soalcer hoses, or through deep-root
inj ection. This shall occur every two weelcs, and consist of
appro�mately, per tree, five to ten gallons per inch of trunlc diameter.
• Great care must be talcen by equipment operators to position their
equipment to a�oid the trees' trunlcs and branches. Where a conflict
e�sts, the project arborist shall be advised to provide a feasible
solution.
• The disposal of harmful products (such as cement, paint, chemicals,
oil, and gasoline)is prohibited beneath canopies or anywhere on site
that allows drainage beneath or near TPZs. Herbicides shall not be
used with a TPZ; where used on-site,they shall be labeled for safe use
near trees.
• Tree protection fencing can be removed once construction is complete
and authorized during a final inspection.
• A three-to four-inch ma�mum layer of wood chip mulch shall be
maintained (and replenished when necessary beneath each tree's
canopy. It shall remain at least six inches from all tree trunlcs.
• Any additional activity required within a TPZ shall be performed
under the supervision of a qualified arborist. If deemed acceptable by
the arborist, all worlc shall be manually performed using hand tools and
wheelbarrows, tunneling, or using a pneumatic air device.
Replacement tree plantings will off-set the removal of a specimen tree from the site during
construction. Oversight of construction activities by a certified arborist and implementation of
specific tree protection measures will a�oid substantial impacts to any mature trees that will be
retained on the site. (Less Than Significant Impact with Mitigation Incorporated)

4.5 CULTURAL RESOURCES
4.5.1 Setting
Cultural resources are evidence of past human occupation and activity and include both historical and
archaeological resources. These resources may be located above ground or underground and have
significance in the history, prehistory, architecture, architecture of cultural of the nation, State of
California, or local or tribal communities.
Paleontological resources are fossils, the remains or traces of prehistoric life preserved in the
geologic record. They range from the well known and well publicized (such as mammoth and
dinosaur bones)to scientifically important fossils.
4.5.1.1 Prehistoric C'ontext�cn�l Resources
The project site is located in the Santa Clara Valley. Native American occupation of the valley
e�tended over 5,000 to 8,000 years and possibly longer. Before European settlement,
Native Americans resided in the area that is now Cupertino and lived in the Rancho San Antonio area
for over 3,000 years. The South Bay Area's favorable environment during the prehistoric period,
including alluvial plains, foothills, many water courses and bay margins provided an abundance of
wild food and other resources.
The Native American people who originally inhabited the Santa Clara Valley belong to a group
known as the"Coastanoan" or Ohlone, who broadly occupied the central California coast from the
northern tip of the San Francisco Peninsula to Big Sur in the south and as far east as the Diablo
Range. The Coastanoan/Ohlone people practiced a hunting, fishing and collecting economy focusing
on the collection of seasonal plant and animal resources. This customary way of living of the
Coastanoan/Ohlone people disappeared by about 1810 due to disruption by introduced diseases, a
declining birth rate and the impact of the California mission system established by the Spanish in the
San Jose/Santa Clara area in 1777.
In the Cupertino area, areas lilcely to be archaeologically sensitive, are found along stream courses
and in oak groves. The proj ect site is located appro�mately 650 feet northwest of Regnart Creek on
the valley floor. E�tant or known former oalc groves are not present in the immediate vicinity of the
project site.
4.5.1.2 Historic Resources
Based upon a review of building records, the project site was used for agricultural purposes until a
residence was constructed on the site in 1950 (refer to Appendix C). The residential buildings on the
site are over 50 years old.
The Cupertino General Plan identifies Historic Sites, Commemorative Sites and Community
Landmarlcs currently present in the City (Figure 2-G of the Cupertino General Plan). E�sting
buildings on the proj ect site at 20840 McClellan Road are not identified as historic structures and are

not on a Historic Site, Commemorative Site or designated as a Community Landmarlcs in the General
Plan.
Historical resources eligible for listing in the California Register must meet criteria of significance
and retain enough of their historic character or appearance to be recognizable as historical character
to convey the reasons for their significance. Given that neither the buildings nor the proj ect site is
identified in the City's General Plan as a cultural resource,the architectural style of the residential
buildings does not embody distinctive characteristics or method of construction, these structures

4.5.1.3 P�cleontologic�cl Resources
As noted above, paleontological resources are the fossilized remains of organisms from prehistoric
environments found in geologic strata. Geologic units of Holocene age are generally not considered
sensitive for paleontological resources because biological remains younger than 10,000 years are not
usually considered fossils. These sediments have low potential to yield fossil resources or to contain
significant nonrenewable paleontological resources. The proj ect site is underlain by late Pleistocene
alluvial fan material deposits which have high potential to yield fossils.'°'

The proposed project includes the demolition of the e�sting residential buildings on the site to allow
for the construction of three residential structures. Removal of building foundations and construction
of the proposed project would require grading, exca�ation, and trenching on the site to install utilities
and remove contaminated soils (refer to Section 4.7 Hazards and Hazardous Materials).
4.5.2.1 Prehistoric,Historic, �cn�l P�cleontologic�cl Resources
Development throughout the Santa Clara Valley adj acent to established water courses, has uncovered
numerous buried archaeological sites. The project is not located near a water course or former oalc
groves and it is urilikely that prehistoric materials associated with aboriginal settlements along
Regnart Creek would be encountered during site grading and/or exca�ation.
There are no historic structures located on the site and demolition of the e�sting buildings would not
result in an impact to a historical resource or a site recognized in the Cupertino General Plan as a
Historic Site, Commemorative Site or Community Landmarlc.
While unlilcely, buried prehistoric or historic deposits which could provide information on prehistory
or the history of this site, its inhabitants, and the role it played in the development of the City could
be encountered.
Impact CUL— 1: Development of the proposed proj ect could result in significant impacts to
buried cultural resources, if encountered. (Significant Impact)
Mitigation Measures: As a condition of approval,the proposed project shall implement the
following mitigation measures to reduce impacts to cultural resources to a less than significant level:
MM CUL— 1.1: In the event of the discovery of prehistoric or historic archaeological
deposits or paleontological deposits, worlc shall be halted within 50 feet of
the discovery and a qualified professional archaeologist(or paleontologist, as
applicable) shall examine the find and malce appropriate recommendations
regarding the significance of the find and the appropriate mitigation. The
recommendation shall be implemented and could include collection,
recordation, and analysis of any significant cultural materials.
MM CUL— 1.2: In the event that human remains and/or cultural materials are found, all
project-related construction shall cease within a 50-foot radius of the find in
order to proceed with the testing and mitigation measures required. Pursuant
to Section 7050.5 of the Health and Safety Code and Section 5097.94 of the
Public Resources Code of the State of California:
• In the event of the discovery of human remains during construction,
there shall be no further excavation or disturbance of the site or any
nearby area reasonably suspected to overlie adj acent remains. The Santa
Clara County Coroner shall be notified and shall malce a determination
as to whether the remains are Native American. If the Coroner

agreement can be reached as to the disposition of the remains pursuant to
this State law, then the land owner shall re-inter the human remains and
items associated with Native American burials on the property in a
location not subj ect to further subsurface disturbance.
• A final report summarizing the discovery of cultural materials shall be
submitted to the Director of Community Development prior to issuance
of building permits. This report shall contain a description of the
mitigation program that was implemented and its results, including a
description of the monitoring and testing program, a list of the resources
found, a summary of the resources analysis methodology and
conclusion, and a description of the disposition/curation of the resources.
The report shall verify completion of the mitigation program to the
satisfaction of the Director of Planning.

4.6 GEOLOGY AND SOILS
The following discussion is based on a Geotechnical Investigation Report prepared by Capex
Engineering, Inc. in November 2011. A copy of this report is included as Appendix B of this Initial
Study.
4.6.1 Setting
4.6.1.1 Region�cl Geology
The City of Cupertino is located within the Santa Clara Valley, which is a broad alluvial plain
between the Santa Cruz Mountains to the southwest and west, and the Diablo Range to the northeast.
Most of Cupertino is on level ground that rises gently to the west. The San Andreas Fault system,
including the Monte Vista-Shannon Fault, e�sts within the Santa Cruz Mountains and the Hayward
and Calaveras Fault systems e�st within the Diablo Range.
4.6.1.2 On-Site Geologie C'on�litions
Soils and Groundwater
The site is developed with residential structures and paving on the north end of the site with unpa�ed
rear yard areas on the southern two-thirds of the site. Subsurface soils consist of light brown silt clay
with sand and gra�el to a depth of 15 feet below ground surface (bgs). The soils are moist and stiff
to hard. The near-surface soils on-site have relatively low percentage of fines and low expansion
potential.
Groundwater was not encountered during the subsurface exploration, which e�tended to a depth of
15 feet. Fluctuations in the level of the groundwater may occur due to variations in rainfall,
underground drainage patterns, and other factors.
Seismicity and Seismic Hazards
The San Francisco Bay Area is one of the most seismically active regions in the United States. The
significant earthqualces that occur in the Bay Area are generally associated with the crustal
movements along well-defined active fault zones of the San Andreas Fault system, which regionally
trend in the northwesterly direction.
The site is not located within a designated Alquist-Friolo Earthqualce Fault Zone`�or a Santa Clara
County Fault Hazard Zone.' In addition,no known surface expression of active faults are believed to
cross the site and fault rupture hazard is not a significant geologic hazard at the site.

Sectio�r=1.0—E�rviro�rrixe�rtal Setti�rg, C'hecklist,a�rd Disczrssio�r oflrixpacts
Nearby active or potentially active faults include the Monte Vista-Shannon fault located
appro�mately 1.5 miles southwest of the site, the San Andreas fault located appro�mately 5.5 miles
southwest of the site, and the Hayward fault(southeast e�tension)located appro�mately 12.6 miles
northeast of the site.� Because of the pro�mity of the proj ect site to these faults, ground shal�ing,
ground failure, or liquefaction due to an earthqualce could cause damage to structures.
Liquefaction
Liquefaction is the result of seismic activity and is characterized as the transformation of loosely
water-saturated soils from a solid state to a liquid state after ground shal�ing. There are many
variables that contribute to liquefaction,including the age of the soil, soil type, soil cohesion, soil
density, and groundwater level.
The proj ect site is not located within a designated State of California Liquefaction Hazard Zone'or a
Santa Clara County Liquefaction Hazard Zone.g Based on an analysis of soils and the depth to
groundwater, the liquefaction potential for the site is determined to be low.
Seismicallv-Induced Differential Settlements
If near-surface soils vary in composition both vertically and laterally, strong earthqualce shal�ing can
cause non-uniform settlement of soil layers. This results in movement of the near-surface soils.
The potential for significant differential seismic settlement affecting the site is low(appro�mately
0.5-inches).
Lateral Spreading
Lateral spreading typically occurs as a form of horizontal displacement of relatively flat-lying
alluvial material toward an open or"free"face such as an open body of water, channel, or
excavation. There are no open faces on or near the project site.

Groundwater beneath the site was not encountered to depths of 15 feet bgs but may fluctuate
seasonally. Given the limited nature of subsurface construction required (utility trenching, grading,
etc.), groundwater at depths of greater than 15 feet would not pose any constraints to the proposed
proj ect.
The proposed project would not be exposed to substantial slope instability, erosion, or landslide-
related hazards due to the flat topography of the site.
The proposed project would not be subject to substantial hazards related to soils on the site. (Less
Than Significant Impact)
Seismicity and Seismic Hazards
The proj ect site is located in a seismically active region and, therefore, strong ground shal�ing would
be expected during the lifetime of the proposed project. While no active faults are known to cross
the proj ect site, ground shal�ing on the site could damage buildings and other proposed structures.
The liquefaction, lateral spreading, and seismically-induced differential settlement potential on the
site are low.
In conformance with standard practices in the City of Cupertino, the proj ect shall be designed and
constructed in conformance with the California Building Code guidelines for Seismic Zone 4 to
a�oid or minimize potential damage from seismic shal�ing on the site. Implementation of building
code requirements would reduce seismic and seismic-related hazards to a less than significant level.
4.6.3 Conclusion
The proposed project, with the implementation of the above standard practices for building
construction, would not result in significant seismicity or seismic hazard impacts. (Less Than

4.7 GREENHOUSE GAS EMISSIONS
Unlilce emissions of criteria and to�c air pollutants, which ha�e local or regional impacts, emissions
of Greenhouse Gases (GHGs)have a broader, global impact. Global warming associated with the
"greenhouse effect"is a process whereby GHGs accumulating in the atmosphere contribute to an
increase in the temperature of the earth's atmosphere. The principal GHGs contributing to global
warming and associated climate change are carbon dio�de(CO�), methane(CHa)> nitrous o�de
(N�O), and fluorinated compounds. Emissions of GHGs contributing to global climate change are
attributable in large part to human activities associated with the transportation, industrial/
manufacturing, utility, residential, commercial, and agricultural sectors.
4.7.1 Existing On-Site GHG Emissions
Two residences with associated structures and landscaping are located on the project site. E�sting
GHG emissions from the residential development currently on the site are expected to be similar to
e�sting single-family development throughout Cupertino. The greatest source of e�sting emissions
are from mobile sources (vehicle trips to and from the site)followed by indirect and direct emissions
from electricity and natural gas use for building heating, cooling, lighting and other uses.
4.7.2 Regulatory Background
4.7.2.1 St�cte of C'�cliforni�c
AB 32, CEQA, and Other Laws and Regulations
The Global Warming Solutions Act(also known as"Assembly Bill (AB) 32") sets the State of
California's 2020 greenhouse gas emissions reduction goal into law. The Act requires that the GHG
emissions in California be reduced to 19901evels by 2020. Prior to adoption of AB 32, the Governor
of California also signed Executive Order S-3-OS which identified CaIEPA as the lead coordinating
State agency for establishing climate change emission reduction targets in California. Under
Executive Order S-3-O5, the state plans to reduce GHG emissions to 80 percent below 19901evels by
2050. Additional state law and regulations related to the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions
includes SB 375, the Sustainable Communities and Climate Protection Act(see discussion below),
the State's Renewables Portfolio Standard for Energy Standard (Senate Bi112X) and fleet-wide
passenger car standards (Pavley Regulations).
The California Natural Resources Agency, as required under state law(Public Resources Code
Section 21083.05)has amended the state CEQA Guidelines to address the analysis and mitigation of
greenhouse gas emissions. Under these sections of the CEQA Guidelines (§15064.4), Lead
Agencies, such as the City of Cupertino, retain discretion to determine the significance of impacts
from greenhouse gas emissions based upon individual circumstances. Neither CEQA nor the CEQA
Guidelines provide a specific methodology for analysis of greenhouse gases and under the
amendments to the CEQA Guidelines, a Lead Agency may describe, calculate or estimate
greenhouse gas emissions resulting from a project and use a model and/or qualitative analysis or
performance based standards to assess impacts. The CEQA Guidelines (§15183.5) also outline the

required components of a"Greenhouse Gas Reduction Strategy". Projects consistent with such a
Strategy or Plan would reduce their contribution to cumulative GHG impacts to a less than
significant level.
Senate Bi11375
Senate Bi11375 (SB 375), also known as the Sustainable Communities and Climate Frotection Act of
2008, requires regional transportation plans to include a Sustainable Communities Strategy (SCS)
that linlcs transportation and land use planning together into a more comprehensive, integrated
process. The SCS is a mechanism for more effectively linl�ing a land use pattern and a transportation
system together to malce travel more efficient and communities more livable. The result is reduced
greenhouse gas emissions from passenger vehicles along with other benefits.
The target for the Bay Area is a seven (7)percent per capita reduction in GHG emissions attributable
to automobiles and light trucics by 2020 and a 15 percent per capita reduction by 2035. The base
year for comparison of emission reductions is 2005. The 2013 Regional Transportation Plan,Plan
BayArea, was released on March 22, 2013 and is the Bay Area's first plan that is subject to SB 375.�
A draft Jobs-Housing Connection Scenario that is part of the regional planning effort under SB 375
was released on March 9, 2012.
4.7.2.2 BAAQMD C'EQA Gui�lelines�cn�l 2010 B�cy Are�c C'le�cn Air Pl�cn
The BAAQMD CEQA Guidelines outline a methodology for estimating greenhouse gases and
analysis of project and plan impacts. In jurisdictions where a qualified Greenhouse Gas Reduction
Strategy 10 has been reviewed under CEQA and adopted by decision-malcers, compliance with the
Greenhouse Gas Reduction Strategy would reduce a project's contribution to cumulative greenhouse
gas emission impacts to a less than significant level.
The Bay Area 2010 Clean Air Plan (CAP)is a multi-pollutant plan that addresses GHG emissions
along with other air emissions in the San Francisco Bay Area Air Basin. One of the lcey objectives in
the CAP is climate protection. The 2010 CAP includes emission control measures in five categories:
Stationary Source Measures, Mobile Source Measures, Transportation Control Measures, Land Use
and Local Impact Measures, and Energy and Climate Measures. Consistency of a proj ect with
current control measures is one measure of its consistency with the CAP. The current CAP also
includes performance objectives, consistent with the state's climate protection goals under AB 32
and SB 375, designed to reduce emissions of GHGs to 19901evels by 2020 and 40 percent below
19901evels by 2035.

The Cupertino General Plan includes an Environmental Resources/Sustainability Section, with
policies that call for energy efficiency, alternative transportation planning, and green building. These
policies and the City's Green Building and Green Business Frograms include measures designed to
reduce energy and water use and associated direct and indirect GHG emissions.
The City also has adopted a construction and debris (C&D)recycling program ordinance that
requires applicants seel�ing building or demolition permits for proj ects greater than 3,000 square feet
to recycle at least 60 percent of proj ect discards. Recycling can indirectly reduce GHG emissions by
reducing the need to manufacture or mine new products or materials.

4.7.3.1 Greenhouse G�cs Emissions Threshol�ls
The BAAQIVID CE�A Air�7�ality G7�idelines (dated May 2011)include quantitative thresholds for
GHG emissions. Using a methodology that models how new land use development in the San
Francisco Bay Area can meet statewide AB 32 GHGreduction goals, the BAAQMD Guidelines
identifies a significance threshold of a net increase of 1,100 metric tons of carbon dio�de equivalents
per year. In addition to this bright line threshold, the Guidelines include an"efficiency" threshold to
be used for urban high density, transit oriented development proj ects that are intended to reduce
vehicle trips but may still result in overall emissions greater than 1,100 metric tons per year. This
efficiency threshold is 4.6 metric tons of carbon dio�de equivalents per service population (e.g.,
residents and employees)per year. The BAAQMD guidelines do not suggest a threshold of
significance for short-term construction related GHG emissions.
The City of Cupertino, and other jurisdictions in the San Francisco Bay Area Air Basin, recently
have used the thresholds and methodology for assessing GHG emissions put forth by the BAAQMD
based upon the scientific and other factual data prepared by BAAQMD in developing those
thresholds. The City has carefully considered the thresholds prepared by BAAQMD and regards the
quantitative thresholds to be based on the best information a�ailable for the San Francisco Bay Area
Air Basin. Evidence supporting these thresholds has been presented in the following documents:

consistent with several recommended actions in the Scoping Plan and would not conflict with
implementation of recommended actions in the Scoping Plan intended to reduce GHG emissions by
the year 2020.
Consistency with Local Plans,Policies, or Regulations
Bav Area 2010 Clean Air Plan
The Bay Area 2010 Clean Air Plan includes performance objectives, consistent with the state's
climate protection goals under AB 32 and SB 375, designed to reduce emissions of greenhouse gases
to 19901evels by 2020 and 40 percent below 19901evels by 2035. The CAP identifies a range of
Transportation Control Measures, Land Use&Local Impacts Measures, and Energy and Climate
Measures that malce up the CAP's control strategy for emissions, including GHGs.
The proposed proj ect features a rezoning to allow three residences to replace two e�sting residences
on a site pro�mate to transit,jobs, schools, shopping, parks, and other amenities. This would be
consistent with Transportation Control Measure (TCM)D-2 —Pedestrian Access and Facilities
Improvement. As noted above, the project will be required to meet the City of Cupertino's Green
Building Code standards. This would be consistent with Energy Control Measure (ECM)-1 —Energy
Efficiency in the CAP.
The project would be consistent with the Climate Change Scoping Plan (as discussed above) and the
Bay Area 2010 Clean Air Plan and would not exceed appropriate thresholds of significance for
greenhouse gas emissions. Therefore, the proj ect would not conflict with any currently adopted local
plans, policies, or regulations pertaining to greenhouse gas emissions.
Sustainable Communities Strate�v
Regionally, a Sustainable Communities Strategy that links transportation and land use planning
together into a more comprehensive, integrated process is under early development by the
Metropolitan Transportation Commission, BAAQMD, and the Association of Bay Area
Governments. Under SB 375 (Redesigning Communities to Reduce Greenhouse Gases), the
Sustainable Communities Strategy (SCS) has been developed as part of the update of the Regional
Transportation Plan for the Bay Area which was released in March 2013. The project is not located
in Priority Development Area and given its size would not conflict with the Sustainable
Community's Strategy.
The location, density, and measures included in the proj ect to reduce greenhouse gas emissions
would not conflict with plans, policies, or regulations for reducing greenhouse gas emissions adopted
by the California legislature, CARB, BAAQMD, or City of Cupertino. (Less Than Significant

4.8 HAZARDS AND HAZARDOUS MATERIALS
The following discussion is based on a Phase I Environmental Site Assessment(ESA), Phase II
Environmental Site Assessment, Report of Additional Soil Investigation, Worlc Plan for Additional
Site Characterization, Summary Report of Soil Investigations, Revised Site Mitigation Plan, and an
Investigative Report and Revised Mitigation Plan prepared by Piers Environmental, Inc. These
reports were prepared from March 2012 to July 2013 and are included in Appendix C of this Initial
Study.
4.8.1 Setting
4.8.1.1 B�cckgroun�llnfornuction
Hazardous materials include a broad range of common substances such as motor oil and fuel,
pesticides, detergents, paint, and solvents. A substance may be considered hazardous if, due to its
chemical and/or physical properties, it poses a substantial hazard when it is improperly treated,
stored, transported, disposed of, or released into the atmosphere in the event of an accident.
4.8.1.2 Site C'on�litions
The 0.96-acre project site has been developed with residential uses since 1950. The site was
previously used for agricultural purposes as an orchard. Nearby sensitive receptors include
surrounding residential development and quasi-public uses (e.g. daycare, school, churches) to the
west.
On-Site Observations
A site reconnaissance survey was completed for the project site in March 2012. All e�terior areas of
the proj ect site were inspected during the site reconnaissance. The interior of the smaller residence
was examined and was visible from the outside. A portion of the main residence was observed from
the e�terior. The project site includes asphalt-pa�ed driveways and parl�ing areas at the front, a rear
patio, and a large lawn at the rear with remnant orchard trees. The main residence is a two-bedroom
structure with a third bedroom in the converted garage. A smaller residence behind the main
residence contains two rooms. Two sheds and a carport are also located on the property.
Historic Site Conditions
Based on historical records and aerial photographs, the project site was in agricultural use prior to
1950 when the e�sting residential use was constructed on the site. Prior to construction of the
residences, the site and surrounding area contained orchards. The previous use of the property for
agriculture implies the use of chemical pesticides and fertilizer, remnants of which are frequently
found on developed properties previously used for agriculture in the Santa Clara Valley.

4.8.1.3 Potenti�cl On-Site Sources of C'ont�cmin�ction
Agricultural Use Impacts
Due to the past agricultural use of proj ect site, soil samples were collected and tested for residual
pesticides and metals in the near-surface soil. Concentrations of lead, arsenic, DDE, DDT,
chlordane, dieldrin, heptachlor, and toxaphene were detected in the on-site soils. Arsenic
concentrations, although elevated, were not above bacicground concentrations for Bay Area soils.
Concentrations of lead and organochlorine pesticides (DDE, DDT, chlordane, etc.)were above the
Department of To�c Substances Control (DTSC) California Health Hazard Screening Levels
(CHHSLs) for residential use at several sample locations.
Lead was detected in on-site soils in the southern portion of the site at 390 parts per million (ppm)
appro�mately 0.25 feet below grade. Organochlorine pesticides at concentrations up to 8.3 ppm
were detected in soils appro�mately 0.25 feet and 1.5 feet below grade in the garden areas of the
property behind the main residence and directly west of the large oalc tree on-site(refer to Appendix
C). Within the oalc tree canopy, organochlorine pesticides at concentrations from two to five times
the residential CHHSL were detected in soils appro�mately 0.25 feet below grade. Based on the soil
analyses completed, residual pesticides and metals in soils on the site are above levels considered to
pose health rislcs for people.
4.8.1.4 Potenti�cl Off-Site Sources of C'ont�cmin�ction
A regulatory database search was completed for the project site for the purpose of identifying all sites
within the project area where there are known or suspected sources of contamination, as well as sites
that handle or store hazardous materials. Based on information in these database records (refer to
Phase I ESA in Appendix C)including the type of release, current case status, and distance and
direction from the site, no reported hazardous materials spills or releases in the vicinity of the site
have a potential to affect the proj ect site.
4.8.1.5 Other H�cz�cr�ls
The proj ect site is not located within two miles of an airport or within the Santa Clara County Airport
Land Use Commission (ALUC)jurisdiction safety zone. The project site is located within an urban
area that is not subj ect to wildfires.i i

Soil and Groundwater Conditions
The proposed project would allow the development of three single-family residences on the site.
Exposed soils would be present in the yards of the future residences. No groundwater was found to a
depth of 15 feet on the site and would not come into contact with residents of the site. Levels of lead,
DDE, DDT, chlordane, dieldrin, heptachlor, and toxaphene in near surface soils on the site exceed
allowable levels set by DTSC for residential use.
Impact HAZ-1: The proj ect may expose residents of the site to lead and organochlorine
pesticide concentrations exceeding state standards for residential uses.
(Significant Impact)
Mitigation Measures: As a condition of approval and in conformance with local, state, and federal
regulations, the proj ect shall implement the following mitigation measures with the oversight of the
Santa Clara County Department of Environmental Health and City of Cupertino to reduce impacts
associated with redevelopment of the site to a less than significant level:
MM HAZ— 1.1: The project shall excavate the area of lead-impacted soil to a depth of 1.5 feet
in the area identified in the Revised Site Mitigation Plan. Soils will be tested,
profiled, and granted acceptance to a landfill permitted to handle disposal of
lead contaminated soil prior to exca�ation of these soils directly into trucics
for offhaul from the site. Dust control measures (watering) shall be employed
prior to and during excavation and loading to eliminate or minimize dust
creation.
MM HAZ— 1.2: From the rear of the e�sting residence to the midpoint of the property,
pesticide-impacted soils that would be located beneath pavement or covered
by structures will be exca�ated to a depth of six inches and disposed of at a
permitted landfill. Where impacted soils are present in future landscape
areas, soils will be excavated to a depth of one foot below grade. In planned
landscape areas, confirmation sampling will be completed to confirm
pesticide-impacted soils have been removed. Contaminated soils from
landscape areas up to a depth of six inches will be disposed of offsite. The
remaining exca�ated landscape area soil from depths of six inches to one foot
will be stocicpiled on-site and eventually disposed at a permitted landfill or
placed as fill beneath areas of pavement.
MM HAZ— 1.3: Within the branch canopy of the large oalc tree on-site surface soil to a depth
of appro�mately six to twelve inches below grade, will be exca�ated by hand
under the consultation and direction of the City of Cupertino's arborist. Frior
to excavation, confirmation subsurface samples will be collected at three-inch
intervals from six inches to one foot below grade and analyzed to establish

exca�ation depths within the oalc tree canopy. Confirmation sampling will be
completed to confirm pesticide-impacted soils ha�e been removed.
MM HAZ— 1.4: In the event confirmation samples reveal the presence of additional lead or
organochlorine pesticides, additional excavation and sampling will be
completed under the oversight of the Santa Clara County Department of
Environmental Health.
MM HAZ— 1.5: Remediation worlc on the site shall adhere to the procedures identified in the
Site Mitigation Plan for Soil Management during Construction, including off-
site disposal, dust control,reuse of on-site soils, and implementation of a
contractor health and safety plan. (Less Than Significant Impact with
Mitigation Incorporated)
Asbestos-Containing Materials and Lead-Based Paint
Buildings on the project site were constructed in 1950 and may have been constructed with asbestos-
containing materials. The buildings are also assumed to ha�e painted surfaces containing lead-based
paint. No formal surveys for asbestos-containing materials or lead-based paint ha�e been completed
for the e�sting residences.
Impact HAZ-2: Demolition of e�sting structures on the project site could expose construction
worlcers and nearby sensitive receptors to harmful levels of asbestos and lead.
(Significant Impact)
Mitigation Measures: As a condition of approval and in conformance with local, state, and federal
regulations, the project shall implement the following standard mitigation measures to reduce
possible impacts associated with building demolition to a less than significant level:
MM HAZ—2.1: In conformance with federal and State regulations, a formal survey for
ACBMs and lead-based paint shall be completed prior to the demolition of
buildings on the site.
MM HAZ—2.2: All potentially friable ACBMs shall be removed in accordance with National
Emissions Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants (NESHAP) guidelines
prior to building demolition or renovation that may disturb the materials. All
demolition activities will be undertalcen in accordance with Cal/OSHA
standards, contained in Title 8 of the California Code of Regulations (CCR),
Section 1529, to protect worlcers from exposure to asbestos. Materials
containing more than one percent asbestos are also subject to Bay Area Air
Quality Management District(BAAQMD)regulations.
MM HAZ—2.3: During demolition activities, all building materials containing lead-based
paint shall be removed in accordance with Cal/OSHA Lead in Construction

4.9 HYDROLOGY AND WATER QUALITY
4.9.1 Setting
4.9.1.1 Hy�lrology�cn�l W�cter Qu�clity
Surface Water
The project site is located within an area described as the West Valley Watersheds by the Santa Clara
Valley Water District.i' The West Valley Watershed consists of an 85-square-mile area of multiple
small-creelc watersheds including the Calabazas Creelc watershed. Surface runoff from the project
site is conveyed to Regnart Creelc which flows to Calabazas Creelc and ultimately the San Francisco
Bay.
Appro�mately two-thirds of the proj ect site consists of pervious surfaces (landscaping and rear
yard). Runoff from the site is currently conveyed to a 12-inch storm drain line located in McClellan
Road.
Groundwater
The project site is located in the Santa Clara Valley Groundwater Basin between the Diablo
Mountains to the east and the Santa Cruz Mountains to the west. The Santa Clara Valley
Groundwater Basin is filled by valley floor alluvium and the Santa Clara Formation. Groundwater
was not encountered during the subsurface exploration, which e�tended to a depth of 15 feet.
Fluctuations in the level of the groundwater may occur due to variations in rainfall, underground
drainage patterns, and other factors. Groundwater is expected to flow to the northeast, towards San
Francisco Bay.
4.9.1.2 Floo�ling
According to the Federal Emergency Management Agency's (FEMA)Flood Insurance Rate Map, the
site is located within Zone X, which is defined as areas of 0.2 percent annual chance flood, areas of
percent chance flood with a�erage depths of less than one foot or with drainage areas less than one
square mile; and areas protected by levees from the one percent chance flood.i'

The proj ect site is not located within a dam failure inundation hazard area.ia
Sea Level Rise
The project site is located at an elevation of approximately 285 feet above mean sea level, and is not
within a shoreline area vulnerable to projected sea level rise from global climate change of up to 55
inches.i'
Earthquake-Induced Waves and Mudflow Hazards
The site is not located near a large body of water, near the ocean, or in a landslide hazard zone and,
therefore, is not subject to inundation by seiche, tsunami, or mudflow.
4.9.1.4 W�cter Qu�clity
The water quality of streams, creelcs, ponds, and other surface water bodies can be greatly affected by
pollution carried in contaminated surface runof£ Pollutants from unidentified sources, known as
"non-point" source pollutants, are washed from streets, construction sites, parl�ing lots, and other
exposed surfaces into storm drains. Surface runoff from roads is collected by storm drains and
discharged into Regnart Creelc. The runoff often contains contaminants such as oil and grease, plant
and animal debris (e.g., leaves, dust, and animal feces), pesticides, litter, and heavy metals. In
sufficient concentration, these pollutants have been found to adversely affect the aquatic habitats to
which they drain.
Under e�sting conditions, the proj ect site contains two residences with associated structures,
pavement, and landscaping. Runoff from the site may contain sediment, fertilizers, and pesticides
from landscaped areas, and metals, trash, oils and grease from paved areas.
4.9.1.5 Regul�ctory Setting
Federal Emergency Management Agency
In 1968, Congress created the National Flood Insurance Program(NFIP)in response to the rising
cost of taxpayer funded disaster relief for flood victims and the increasing amount of damage caused
by floods. The NFIl'malces federally-baciced flood insurance available for communities that agree to
adopt and enforce floodplain management ordinances to reduce future flood damage.
The Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) manages the NFIl' and creates Flood
Insurance Rate Maps (FIRMs)that designate 100-year floodplain zones and delineate other flood
hazard areas. A 100-year floodplain zone is the area that has a one in one hundred (one percent)

as special flood hazard areas with a one percent annual chance and 0.2 percent annual chance of
flooding (also known as the 100-year and 500-year flood zones) as determined by the FEMA NFIP.
Water Quality (Nonpoint Source Pollution Program)
The federal Clean Water Act and California's Porter-Cologne Water Quality Control Act are the
primary laws related to water quality. Regulations set forth by the U.S. Environmental Protection
Agency (EPA) and the State Water Resources Control Board have been developed to fulfill the
requirements of this legislation. EPA's regulations include the National Pollutant Discharge
Elimination System (NPDES)permit program, which controls sources that discharge pollutants into
the waters of the United States (e.g., streams, lalces, bays, etc.). These regulations are implemented
at the regional level by the water quality control boards, which for the Cupertino area is the San
Francisco Regional Water Quality Control Board (RWQCB).
Statewide Construction General Permit
The State Water Resources Control Board has implemented a NPDES General Construction Permit
for the State of California. For proj ects disturbing one acre or more of soil, a Notice of Intent(NO�
and Storm Water Pollution Frevention Plan (SWPPP) must be prepared prior to commencement of
construction.
Municipal Re�ional Stormwater NPDES Permit(MRP)/C.3 Requirements
The San Francisco Bay RWQCB also has issued a Municipal Regional Stormwater NPDES Permit
(Permit Number CAS612008) (MRP). In an effort to standardize stormwater management
requirements throughout the region, this permit replaces the formerly separate countywide municipal
stormwater permits with a regional permit for 77 Bay Area municipalities, including the City of
Cupertino. Under provisions of the NPDES Municipal Permit, redevelopment proj ects that add

4.9.2.1 Hy�lrology�cn�l Dr�cin�cge
Redevelopment of the site may result in a slight increase in stormwater runoff from the project site
given the large, unpa�ed, rear yard on the site. In accordance with the Municipal Regional
Stormwater NPDES Permit, the project will be required to treat stormwater runoff from the site prior
to discharge to the storm drain system because it will add greater than 10,000 square feet of
impervious surfaces.
The proj ect, with the incorporation of stormwater treatment measures, is not anticipated to
substantially increase runoff from the project site or exceed the capacity of the City's e�sting storm
drainage system. (Less Than Significant Impact)
4.9.2.2 Floo�ling
As discussed previously, the project site is not within the 100-year, or one percent flood zone. The
project, therefore, would not place housing within a 100-year flood hazard area or impede or redirect
flood flows within a 100-year flood hazard area. (No Impact)

4.9.2.4 Groun�liv�cter Supply Imp�ccts
The project would use water supplied by San Jose Water Company. Water supply impacts of the
project are addressed in Section 4.17 Utilities and Service Systems.
The proj ect site does not include an in-stream groundwater recharge area and redevelopment of this
site would not substantially interfere with groundwater recharge of the local aquifer used for drinl�ing
water supply. Grading for the project would be limited and would not encounter groundwater on the
site. The project, therefore, would not result in substantial direct or indirect impacts to groundwater
resources in the area. (Less Than Significant Impact)
4.9.2.5 W�cter Qu�clity
Construction Related Impacts
Construction of the proposed project, as well as grading and excavation activities, may result in
temporary impacts to surface water quality. Project grading and construction activities would affect
the water quality of storm water surface runof£ Construction of the proposed buildings and paving
of streets and sidewallcs would also result in a disturbance to the underlying soils, thereby increasing
the potential for sedimentation and erosion. When disturbance to underlying soils occurs, the surface
runoff that flows across the site may contain sediments that are ultimately discharged into the storm
drainage system.
Post-Construction Impacts
Redevelopment of the site would introduce new impervious surfaces, including new roofs and
pa�ement. The amount of pollution carried by runoff from new residences and pa�ement, therefore,
could increase. The project also would increase traffic and human activity on and around the site,
generating more pollutants and increasing dust, litter, and other contaminants that could be washed
into the storm drain system. The project would, therefore, generate increases in water contaminants
which could be carried downstream in storm water runoff from pa�ed surfaces on the site.
Stormwater from urban uses (including building rooftops) contains metals, pesticides, herbicides, and
other contaminants such as oil, grease, lead, and animal waste. Runoff from the proposed project
may contain increased oil and grease from parlced vehicles, as well as sediment and chemicals (i.e.,
fertilizers and pesticides)from the landscaped areas.
Redevelopment of the proj ect site would increase the amount of urban runoff from the site that could
convey pollutants to Regnart Creek, Calabazas Creek, and San Francisco Bay. As a condition of
approval and in conformance with the City of Cupertino's Municipal Code Chapter 9.18, the project

significant level:
Construction Measures
Condition HYD— 1.1: The proj ect shall implement construction BMPs to a�oid impacts to
surface water quality during construction, to the satisfaction of the
Director of Public Worlcs. Construction BMPs would include, but would
not be limited to,the following measures:
• Preclude non-stormwater discharges to the stormwater system.
• Incorporate effective, site-specific Best Management Fractices for
erosion and sediment control during the construction period.
• Cover soil, equipment, and supplies that could contribute to non-
visible pollution prior to rainfall events or monitor runoff.
• Perform monitoring of discharges to the stormwater system.
Post-Construction Measures
Condition HYD— 1.2: The proj ect shall comply with Frovision C.3 of NPDES Permit Number
CAS612008, which provides enhanced performance standards for the
management of storm water for new development.
Prior to issuance of building and grading permits, each phase of

controls in the project design in compliance with the NPDES C.3 permit
provisions, and shall include BMPs for reducing contamination in storm
water runoff as permanent features of the project. The project includes
the incorporation of biofiltration areas to treat and reduce the amount of
runoff from the site.
The specific BMPs to be used in each phase of development shall be
determined based on design and site-specific considerations and will be
determined prior to issuance of building and grading permits.
Condition HYD— 1.3: To protect groundwater from pollutant loading of urban runoff, BMPs
which are primarily infiltration devices (such as infiltration trenches and
infiltration basins) must meet, at a minimum, the following conditions:
• Pollution prevention and source control BMPs shall be implemented
to protect groundwater;
• Use of infiltration BMPs cannot cause or contribute to degradation of
groundwater;
• Infiltration BMPs must be adequately maintained;
• Vertical distance from the base of any infiltration device to the

pollutants such as on-site chemical use,level of pretreatment, similar
factors);
• Unless storm water is first treated by non-infiltration means,
infiltration devices shall not be recommended for areas of industrial
or light industrial activity; areas subject to high vehicular traffic
(25,000 or greater a�erage daily traffic trips on main roadway or
15,000 or more average daily traffic trips on any intersecting
roadway); automotive repair shops; car washes; fleet storage areas
(bus, trucic, etc); nurseries; and other land uses and activities
considered by the City as high threats to water quality; and
Condition HYD— 1.4: Best Management Practices (BMPs) shall be selected and designed to the
satisfaction of the Director of Public Worlcs in accordance with the
requirements contained in the most recent versions of the following
documents:
• City of Cupertino Post-Construction BMP Section Matrix;
• SCV[_]RPPP"Guidance for Implementing Storm water Regulations
for New and Redevelopment Projects;"
• NPDES Municipal Storm water Discharge Permit issued to the City
of Cupertino by the California Regional Water Quality Control Board,

(BASMAA) "Start at the Source" Design Guidance Manual;
• BASMAA"Using Site Design Standards to Meet Development
Standards for Storm water Quality—A Companion Document to Start
at the Source;" and
• City of Cupertino Planning Procedures Performance Standard.
Condition HYD— 1.5: To maintain effectiveness, all storm water treatment facilities shall
include long-term maintenance programs.
Condition HYD— 1.6: The applicant, the project arborist and landscape architect, shall worlc
with the City and the SCV[_]RPPP to select pest resistant plants to
minimize pesticide use, as appropriate, and the plant selection will be
reflected in the landscape plans.
The proposed project, with the implementation of the above conditions, would not result in
significant water quality impacts. (Less Than Significant Impact)

to promote a suburban lifestyle of detached single-family homes and allows for planned residential
communities if the development form is compatible with adjoining residential development.
The project site is zoned RI-10-Single Family Residential which allows for single-family residential
development on 10,000 square foot minimum lots.
4.10.1.2 Existing�cn�l Surroun�ling Uses
The 0.96-acre project site is developed with two residences, associated residential structures, and
landscaping. Two-thirds of the site is a rear yard that is mostly unpaved and planted with trees.
The proj ect site is located in a residential neighborhood and fronts onto McClellan Road.
Surrounding land uses include single-family residences in all directions with several quasi-public
building uses located on the south side of McClellan Road to the west of the proj ect site(refer to
Figure 2.2-3).

4.10.2.1 C'onsistency ivith Gener�cl Pl�cn�cn�l Zoning(1�^�lin�cnce
The proposed residential use is consistent with the e�sting General Plan land use designation which
allows one to five dwelling units per acre on the site. The proj ect site is 0.96-acres and would be
subdivided into four lots to allow for construction of three single-family residences and a private
roadway.
The proposed project would rezone the site from RI-10-Single Family Residential which allows for
single-family residential development on 10,000 square foot minimum lots to RI-7.�-Single Family
Residential to allow construction of three single-family residences on lots exceeding 7,500 square
feet. Development surrounding the project site contains a range of residential zoning from RI-6 to
RI-10. Residences on the site would be constructed consistent with the proposed zoning standards
(including building setbacics and heights) and would require approval of building permits and any
applicable Planning permits, such as a Two-Story Permit. Rezoning of the site within the range of
adj acent residential zonings would not result in any land use compatibility impacts.
The proposed project would not physically divide an established community nor would it conflict
with any land use plan, policy, or regulation adopted for the purpose of a�oiding or mitigating
environmental impacts. (Less Than Significant Impact)

4.12 NOISE
4.12.1 Setting
4.12.1.1 B�cckgroun�llnfornuction
Several factors influence sound as it is perceived by the human ear, including the actual level of
sound, the period of exposure to the sound,the frequencies involved, and fluctuation in the noise
level during exposure. Noise is measured on a"decibel" scale which serves as an index of loudness.
Because the human ear cannot hear all pitches or frequencies, sound levels are frequently adjusted or
weighted to correspond to human hearing. This adjusted unit is known as the"A-weighted" decibel
or dBA.
Although the A-weighted noise level may adequately indicate the level of environmental noise at any
instant in time, community noise levels vary continuously. Most environmental noise includes a
conglomeration of noise from distant sources that create a relatively steady bacicground noise in
which no particular source is identifiable. To describe the time-varying character of environmental
noise, the statistical noise descriptors, Loi> Lio> L;o> and L�o> are commonly used. They are the A-
weighted noise levels equaled or exceeded during one, 10, 50, and 90 percent of a stated time period.
A single number descriptor called the Lzq is also widely used. The Lzq is the average A-weighted
noise level during a stated period of time. An A-weighted ma�mum noise level is L,,,a,.
In determining the daily level of environmental noise, it is important to account for the difference in
response of people to daytime and nighttime noises. During the nighttime, e�terior bacicground
noises are generally lower than the daytime levels. Most people sleep at night and are very sensitive
to noise intrusion. To account for human sensitivity to nighttime noise levels, a descriptor, DNL
(day/night average sound level), was developed. The DNL divides the 24-hour day into the daytime
of 7:00 AM to 10:00 PM and the nighttime of 10:00 PM to 7:00 AM. The nighttime noise level is
weighted 10 dB higher than the daytime noise level. The Community Noise Equivalent Level
(CNEL)is another 24-hour average that includes both an evening and nighttime weighting.

The Health and Safety Element establishes goals and policies designed to minimize noise exposure at
noise sensitive land uses. Applicable goals and policies of the City of Cupertino are described
below.
• Policy 6-61: Hours of Construction Work. Restrict non-emergency building construction
work near homes during evening, early morning, and weekends by enforcing the noise
regulations in the Municipal Code.

• Policy 6-62: Construction and Maintenance Activities. Regulate construction and
maintenance activities. Establish and enforce reasonable allowable periods of the day, for
weekdays, weekends and holidays for construction activities. Require construction
contractors to use only construction equipment incorporating the best available noise control
technology.
• Goal O: Buildings designed to diminish noise
• Policy 6-6-1: Building Code Sections on E�terior Noise Intrusion. Require the City Building
Department to enforce all sections of the California Building Code for e�terior sound
transmission control.
The General Plan also establishes noise and land use compatibility guidelines (Goal L and Policy 6-
�0)to evaluate the suitability of the proposed land use with respect to the e�sting or future noise
environment(refer to Table 4.12-1).
Single-family residential uses are considered "normally acceptable"in noise environments up to 60
dBA CNEL and "conditionally acceptable" in environments from 55 to 70 dBA CNEL. In a noise
environment between 70 and 75 dBA CNEL, single-family residential land uses are considered
"normally unacceptable." Above 75 dBA CNEL, this land use is considered "clearly unacceptable."

at residential property lines or 65 dBA during the daytime and 55 dBA during the nighttime
at non-residential property lines.
• BriefDaytime Incidents (Section 10.-18.0�0). During the daytime period only, brief noise
incidents exceeding the above noise standards are allowed providing that the sum of the noise
duration in minutes plus the excess noise level does not exceed 20 in a two-hour period (see
Table 4.12-2).

• Grading, Const�r�ction, and Demolition (Section 10.-18.0�3). Grading, construction, and
demolition activities shall be allowed to exceed the daytime noise limits provided that the
equipment utilized has high-quality noise muffler and abatement devices installed and in
good condition, and the activity meets one of the following two criteria: 1)no individual
device produces a noise level more than 87 dBA at a distance of 25 feet, or 2)noise level on
any nearby property does not exceed 80 dBA It is a violation to engage in any grading,
street construction, demolition, or underground utility work within 750 feet of a residential
area on Saturday, Sundays, and holidays, and during the nighttime period, except as provided
in Sections 10.48.029 and 10.48.030. Construction, other than street construction, is
prohibited during nighttime periods unless it meets the nighttime standards of Section
10.48.040.
4.12.1.3 Existing Noise C'on�litions
The project site is located adjacent to e�sting residential development to the east, south, and west.
McClellan Road borders the site to the north. Vehicular traffic is the main source of noise in the
project area. Based on the General Plan noise contours, noise levels on the site would be
appro�mately 60 dBA to 65 dBA CNEL on the northern portion of the site along McClellan Road
The proj ect site is not located within two miles of an airport or private airstrip, or within an airport

CEQA does not define what noise level increase would be considered substantial. Typically, project-
generated noise level increases of three(3) dBA CNEL or greater would be considered significant
where e�terior noise levels would exceed the normally acceptable noise level standard. Where noise
levels would remain at or below the normally acceptable noise level standard with the project, noise
level increases of five (5) dBA CNEL or greater would be considered significant.
Overview
Appendix G of the CEQA Guidelines states that a proj ect would normally be considered to result in
significant noise impacts if noise levels conflict with adopted environmental standards or plans or if
noise generated by the proj ect would substantially increase e�sting noise levels at sensitive receivers
on a permanent or temporary basis. Based on the applicable noise standards and policies for the site,

a significant noise impact would result if e�terior noise levels at proposed single-family residential
land uses would exceed 65 dBA CNEL or if interior day-night average noise levels would exceed 45
dBA CNEL. Noise-producing components of the proj ect that would expose sensitive receivers to
levels exceeding Municipal Code noise level standards could also result in a significant noise impact.
A substantial permanent noise increase would occur if the noise level increase resulting from the
project is three dBA CNEL or greater at noise-sensitive receptors, with a future noise level of 60
dBA CNEL or greater. A substantial temporary noise level increase would occur where noise from
construction activities exceeds 60 dBA Lzq and the ambient noise environment by at least five dBA
Lzq at noise-sensitive uses in the proj ect vicinity for a period of one year or more.
4.12.2.1 Noise Imp�ccts to the Project
Exterior Noise Impacts
According to the 2020 noise contours identified in the City's General Plan, noise levels on the site
would exceed 60 dBA CNEL. The project, therefore, would expose people to noise levels in excess
of the acceptable noise levels identified in the City's General Plan. Traffic on McClellan Road
would continue to be the dominant source of noise affecting the proj ect site. Noise levels in excess
of 60 dBA CNEL would e�tend appro�mately halfway through Parcel A if unobstructed by
buildings on the site.
The future e�terior noise environment at the project site would exceed the"normally acceptable"
noise level of 60 dBA CNEL, but would fall within the"conditionally acceptable" category (up to 70
dBA CNEL) for single-family residential uses. Based on the conceptual building plan (refer to
Figure 3.2-1), e�terior noise levels in the private yards of the proposed lots would only exceed 60
dBA CNEL on Parcel A.
Impact NOI-1: Based on the City's General Plan noise contours, e�terior noise levels in the
private yard of Parcel A would exceed the normally acceptable noise level of
60 dBA CNEL. (Significant Impact)
Mitigation Measures: As a condition of approval,the project applicant shall be responsible for
implementing the following mitigation measures to reduce e�terior noise impacts:
MM NOI-1.1: Development on Parcel A shall incorporate solid fencing(e.g. high quality
wood fencing with no spaces) for the rear yard to reduce noise from
McClellan Road. Shielding provided by the residence and incorporation of
solid fencing on Parcel A would ensure the rear yard provides e�terior open
space that meets the City's General Plan. (Less Than Significant Impact

Future Interior Noise Environment
According to the 2020 noise contours identified in the City's General Plan, noise levels on the site
would exceed 60 dBA CNEL. Residential development located in areas with noise in excess of 60

dBA CNEL are conditionally acceptable (refer to Table 4.12-2) with the incorporation of adequate
construction methods and features to reduce interior noise levels. Development of a residence on
Parcel A would have the greatest exposure to noise levels exceeding 60 dBA CNEL.
The City of Cupertino requires that interior noise levels within new residential units be maintained at
or below 45 dBA CNEL. In buildings of typical construction, with the windows partially open,
interior noise levels are generally 15 dBA lower than e�terior noise levels. With the windows
maintained closed, standard residential construction typically provides appro�mately 20 to 25
decibels of noise reduction. For example, a unit exposed to e�terior noise levels of 62 dBA CNEL
would be 47 dBA CNEL inside with the windows partially open and 42 to 37 dBA CNEL with the
windows closed. Without the incorporation of forced-air mechanical ventilation interior noise levels
would continue to exceed the ma�mum allowable interior sound level of 45 dBA CNEL inside the
residences constructed on the site. Attaining the necessary noise reduction from e�terior to interior
spaces is possible with proper wall construction techniques, the selections of proper windows and
doors, and the incorporation of a forced-air mechanical ventilation system to allow the occupant the
option of controlling noise by closing the windows.
Impact NOI—2: E�terior noise levels are above 60 dBA CNEL at Parcel A which exceeds the
City's normally acceptable noise level standard for residential development.
(Significant Impact)
Mitigation Measures: As a condition of approval,the project applicant shall be responsible for
implementing the following mitigation measures to reduce interior noise impacts:
MM NOI—2.1: Provide a suitable form of forced-air mechanical ventilation, as determined
by the Director of Community Development, for units throughout the site, so
that windows could be kept closed at the occupant's discretion to control
noise and achieve the 45 dBA CNEL interior noise standard. (Less Than
Significant Impact with Mitigation Incorporated)
4.12.2.2 Noise Imp�ccts From the Project
Project-Generated Traffic Noise
A doubling of traffic volumes on a roadway is required to increase noise levels by three(3) dBA.
Given the slight increase in traffic (18 a�erage daily trips)resulting from the project and e�sting
traffic volumes, noise levels in the project area would not be impacted by the proposed development.
(Less Than Significant Impact)
Construction-Related Noise
Noise impacts resulting from construction depend on the noise generated by various pieces of
construction equipment, the timing and duration of noise generating activities, and the distance
between construction noise sources and noise sensitive areas. Construction noise impacts primarily
result when construction activities occur during noise-sensitive times of the day (e.g., early morning,
C'it� of C'upertino 74 Initial Stud�
20840 McC'lell�ul Road Rezonulg�uld Subdivision 110 Jul� 2013
Sectio�r=1.0—E�rviro�rrixe�rtal Setti�rg, C'hecklist,a�rd Disczrssio�r oflrixpacts
evening, or nighttime hours), the construction occurs in areas immediately adjoining noise sensitive
land uses, or when construction lasts over e�tended periods of time.
Construction activities generate considerable amounts of noise, especially during earth moving
activities when hea�y equipment is used. The highest maximum noise levels generated by proj ect
construction would typically range from about 90 to 95 dBA at a distance of 50 feet from the noise
source. Typical hourly a�erage construction generated noise levels are about 81 dBA to 88 dBA
measured at a distance of 50 feet from the center of the site during busy construction periods (e.g.,
earth moving equipment, impact tools, etc.). Construction generated noise levels drop off at a rate of
about six(6) dBA per doubling of distance between the source and receptor. Shielding by buildings
or terrain often result in lower construction noise levels at distant receptors.
The Municipal Code allows construction and demolition activities during daytime hours; provided,
that the equipment utilized has high-quality noise muffler and abatement devices installed and in
good condition, and the activity meets one of the following two criteria:
1. No individual device produces a noise level more than eighty-seven dBA at a distance of
twenty-five feet(7.5 meters); or
2. The noise level on any nearby property does not exceed eighty dBA.
The proj ect would require the demolition of two residences and associated structures. Remediation
work on the site would also require the removal of 0.5 to 1.5 feet of topsoil from contaminated areas
of the site and the importation of clean fill. Following site grading, construction activities are
anticipated to include the installation of underground utilities, construction of residential foundations,
building shell construction, interior finishing, and landscaping.
The proj ect is anticipated to require a few months to demolish the existing development on the site
and complete soil remediation and grading prior to construction of the proposed buildings. All
e�terior site preparation and construction would be completed within 12 months, and once
construction moves indoors, minimal noise would be generated at off-site locations. Noise generated
by construction activities would temporarily elevate noise levels at adjacent noise sensitive receptors,
including adj acent residences and the quasi-public uses west of the site. Given the pro�mity of
residences to the site, construction noise levels could exceed one or both of the exemption criteria of
1)no individual device produces a noise level more than 87 dBA at a distance of 25 feet or 2)noise
level on any nearby property does not exceed 80 dBA (Municipal Code Section 10.48.053).
Impact NOI—3: Construction of the proposed proj ect would result in temporary construction-
related noise impacts. (Significant Impact)
Mitigation Measures: As a condition of approval,the project applicant shall be responsible for
implementing the following mitigation measures to reduce construction-related noise impacts:
MM NOI—3.1: Pursuant to the Municipal Code (Section 10.48.053), noise-generating
activities shall be restricted at the construction site to daytime hours only.

Construction within 750 feet of residences shall be prohibited on Saturdays,
Sundays, holidays.
MM NOI—3.2: All construction equipment shall conform to the following standards: 1)no
individual device produces a noise level more than 87 dBA at a distance of
25 feet; or 2)the noise level on any nearby property does not exceed eighty
dBA (Cupertino Municipal Code Section 10.48.053).
MM NOI—3.3: Equip all internal combustion engine driven equipment with intalce and
e�aust mufflers that are in good condition and appropriate for the
equipment.
MM NOI—3.4: Avoid the unnecessary idling of equipment and stage construction equipment
as far as reasonable from residences adjacent to the site (preferably more
than 200 feet from these residences).
MM NOI—3.5: Stationary noise generating equipment such as air compressors or portable
power generators shall be located as far as possible from sensitive receptors.
MM NOI—3.6: Temporary noise barriers shall be constructed to screen stationary noise
generating equipment when located near adjoining sensitive land uses.
MM NOI—3.7: "Quiet" air compressors and other stationary noise sources shall be utilized
by contractors where technology e�sts.
MM NOI—3.8: Noise from construction worlcers' radios shall be controlled to a point that it
is not audible at e�sting residences bordering the project site.
MM NOI—3.9: The contractor shall prepare and submit to the City for approval a detailed
construction plan identifying the schedule for major noise-generating
construction activities.
MM NOI—3.10: Notify all adj acent businesses, residences, and other noise-sensitive land
uses of the construction schedule in writing.
MM NOI—3.11: A"disturbance coordinator" who would be responsible for responding to any
local complaints about construction noise shall be designated by the proj ect
applicant. The disturbance coordinator will determine the cause of the noise
complaint(e.g., starting too early, bad muffler, etc.) and will require that
reasonable measures warranted to correct the problem be implemented. The
telephone number for the disturbance coordinator shall be conspicuously
posted at the construction site and included in notices sent to neighbors
regarding the construction schedule.

Limiting construction hours would avoid potential impacts to sleep disturbance during nighttime
hours. Limits on vehicle idling and using equipment with appropriately functioning mufflers would
reduce or a�oid substantially elevated construction noise levels. Froviding for a construction noise
coordinator responsible for responding to noise complaints and tal�ing corrective actions, if
necessary, would further reduce possible construction noise impacts to nearby residential uses.
Providing advance information to residents creates opportunities for the scheduling of activities,

4.13.2.1 Groivth In�lucement Imp�ccts
The proj ect site is located within the incorporated limits of the City of Cupertino and redevelopment
of the proj ect site would not result in an expansion of urban services or the pressure to expand
beyond the City's e�sting Sphere of Influence.
As discussed above, the General Plan sets forth development allocations for residential uses for
different areas of the City. The project site is not located in an area specifically allocated additional
residential development capacity in the General Plan. The General Plan also allows for reallocation
of development capacity between geographical areas of the City. The project site currently contains
two residences which if replaced with the proposed three single-family residences would only require
the reallocation of one dwelling unit to the project site.
The proj ect proposes to allow redevelopment of the site with three new single-family residences.
Conservatively using U.S. Census estimates of 2.87 residents per household in Cupertino, the project
would result in a population increase of appro�mately two to eight residents on the site.
The population growth associated with redevelopment of the site would not induce significant
unplanned growth in housing within the City. (Less Than Significant Impact)

4.14.2.1 Fire�cn�l Police Services
The proj ect site is located within an urbanized area of Cupertino that is served by the Santa Clara
County Fire Department and the Santa Clara County Sheriff's Office.
The proposed residences would be constructed in conformance with the appropriate Fire and
Building Codes to reduce fire risk. The City requires smoke alarms in new residential development
to further reduce fire rislc. Development of the proposed project would intensify the use of the
project site in comparison to e�sting conditions, which may incrementally increase the number of
calls for fire and police services, including medical calls. Additional service demands generated by
the proposed project, however, would not require construction of additional fire or police facilities.
(Less Than Significant Impact)
4.14.2.2 Schools
The proj ect would allow development of three single-family residences that would generate
appro�mately one elementary student.''
The proj ect site is located within the Cupertino Union School District and the Fremont Union High
School District. Students in the project area may attend Faria Elementary School, Lawson Middle
School, and Monta Vista High School. The demand for housing in the Cupertino Union School
District and in the Monta Vista High attendance area is very high. The number of students generated
from the project is relatively small and would not result in substantial individual effects on school
capacity.
In accordance with California Government Code Section 65996, the developer shall pay a school
impact fee to the Cupertino Union Elementary School District and the Fremont Union High School
District to offset the increased demands on school facilities caused by the proposed project. The
School Impact Fee program is considered under state law as an acceptable method of offsetting a
project's effect on the adequacy of school facilities, with the individual school districts responsible
for implementing school facilities improvements.
The proposed project would generate new students in the local school districts. As described above,
the school impact fees and property tax paid by the project would cover the cost of facility
improvements and operating cost for the project-generated students. The project, therefore, would
not result in a significant impact to school facilities. (Less Than Significant Impact)

4.16.2.1 Intersection Level of Service
The proposed single-family residences would result in appro�mately 18 average daily trips.'' The
project would result in fewer than 100 new pealc hour trips, and per the Santa Clara Valley
Transportation Authority (VTA) Congestion Management Frogram Transportation Impact Analysis
G��idelines, such a project is assumed to result in a less than significant traffic impact and a
transportation impact analysis is not required. (Less Than Significant Impact)
4.16.2.3 Other Tr�cnsport�ction Issues
The proj ect does not include any design features that would substantially increase traffic hazards in
the area. The project will provide adequate emergency vehicle access to the residential uses on the
site. The project will dedicate a 30-foot right-of-way along the site frontage to provide sidewallcs
and, therefore, would not conflict with any policies, plans, or programs to encourage alternative
transportation programs. (No Impact)

4.17 UTILITIES AND SERVICE SYSTEMS
4.17.1 Setting
4.17.1.1 W�cter
Water service to the project site is supplied by the San Jose Water Company, which also maintains
the water system. San Jose Water Company (SJWC) serves appro�mately 139 square miles of the
Santa Clara Valley, including most of San Jose, most of Cupertino, the entire cities of Campbell,
Monte Sereno, Saratoga, the Town of Los Gatos, and parts of unincorporated Santa Clara County.
SJWC relies on groundwater, imported treated water, and local surface water for its potable water
supply. In 2010, SJWC received appro�mately 39 percent of its water supply from groundwater, 50
percent from imported treated water, and 12 percent from local surface water.'� Water supplies from
SCVWD come from local runoff and water imports from both the Federal Central Valley Project and
the California State Water Project.
In 2010, SJWC delivered 133,066 acre-feet of water per year(AFY) which is expected to increase to
159,479 by 2035.
The project site is served by an e�sting six-inch water line in McClellan Road. The two residences
on the site are estimated to use 500 gallons of water per day.''
4.17.1.2 Storm Dr�cin�cge
The City's storm drain system is made up of underground pipelines. These pipes carry surface runoff
from streets to prevent flooding. Runoff(stormwater and runoff from landscape irrigation and other
urban sources) enters the system at the grated catch basins found along the curb near street
intersections. Water from these pipes is discharged, untreated, directly into City creelcs. The project
site is served by a 12-inch storm drain line located in McClellan Road.
4.17.1.3 W�csteiv�cter/S�cnit�cry Se�ver.System
The Cupertino Sanitary District provides sewer service to the project site. The Cupertino Sanitary
District collects and transports wastewater to the San Jose/Santa Clara Water Pollution Control Plant
(WPCP)located in north San Jose. The District purchases water treatment capacity from the plant
and has purchased 7.85 million gallons per day of capacity.'g Appro�mately 5 million gallons of
wastewater a day is generated within the Cupertino Sanitary District and conveyed to the WPCP.'�
The City is well below their allotted capacity at the WPCP. The project site is served by a 10-inch

appro�mately 425 gallons of sewage per day.'0
4.17.1.4 Soli�l W�cste
Commercial and residential garbage and recycling services in the project area are provided by the
Los Altos Garbage Company. Solid waste collected from the City is delivered to Newby Island
Sanitary Landfi1L Many types of recyclable materials are also delivered to the Sunnyvale Materials
Recovery Station (SMART Station)for recycling. As of December 2011, Newby Island Sanitary
Landfill (1�]ISL)had appro�mately 6.3 million cubic yards of capacity remaining.'i°''
The City has a contract with Newby Island Landfill until the year 2023, or until the cumulative
tonnage delivered equals 2.05 million tons. Since the City's contract with Newby Island, the City
has delivered a total of appro�mately 1.4 million tons of waste to the landfill. The City generates
appro�mately 31,500 tons of solid waste ayear." The two residences on the project site are
estimated to generate 8,928 pounds of solid waste annually.'`�

4.17.2.1 W�cter Service�cn�l Supply
Based on the 2010 Urban Water Management Plan adopted by San Jose Water Company in April
2011, water demand in their service area is expected to increase by appro�mately 20 percent. The
project would increase water use on the site to appro�mately 750 gallons of water per day if no
efficiency measures were incorporated into the project. The project will be constructed to meet
CalGreen Building Code standards which include the incorporation of efficient plumbing fi�tures
and irrigation controls to reduce water use on the site. The project, therefore, would not substantially
increase water demand to the e�tent that new entitlements and sources of water would be required.
(Less Than Significant Impact)
4.17.2.2 Storm Dr�cin�cge
The proposed project may slightly increase the rate of stormwater runoff from the site. As described
in Section 4.9 Hydrology and Water Quality, the project would be required to incorporate Low
Impact Development(LID) stormwater treatment measures and, therefore, would not substantially
increase runoff from the project site or exceed the capacity of the City's e�sting storm drainage
system. (Less Than Significant Impact)
4.17.2.3 W�csteiv�cter/S�cnit�cry Seiver.System
As described previously, the City is well below its allotment for wastewater treatment at the WPCP.
The Cupertino Sanitary District,therefore, has adequate wastewater treatment capacity for the
proposed project.

The project is estimated to generate sewage of 638 gallons per day.'' Given the e�sting residential
uses on the site, this quantity of sewage represents a slight increase over e�sting conditions. The
e�sting sanitary sewer system is anticipated to ha�e adequate capacity to serve the project. (Less

4.17.2.4 Soli�l W�cste
The proposed project is estimated to generate appro�mately 13,392 pounds of garbage per year.'�
Based on the project's estimated annual waste generation,the City's annual waste generation, and the
City's remaining allocation at Newby Island Sanitary Landfill, there is sufficient capacity within the
City's contract with Newby Island and at the landfill to serve the proposed project. (Less Than
Significant Impact)
4.17.3 Conclusion
The utilities and service systems currently available are adequate to serve the net increase in
residential uses on the project site. (Less Than Significant Impact)

4.18.1 Proiect and Cumulative Imuacts
The project includes mitigation measures to avoid or reduce biological resources, cultural resources,
hazardous materials, and noise impacts to a less than significant level. As described in the respective
sections of this Initial Study, the proposed project would not result in other significant environmental
impacts or substantially adversely affect human beings directly or indirectly (refer to Section 4.0
Environmental Setting, Checl�list, and Discussion of Impacts on pages 13 —93 of this Initial Study).
The proj ect would allow construction of three residences on the site (a net increase of one residence)
which would not result in a cumulatively considerable contribution to any cumulative impact that
may occur from past, present, and reasonably foreseeable future projects.

Lanc� LLse History �ExistinglProposec� LLses
The project site was originally pre-rezoned from Santa Clara County CN (Neighborhood Commercial) to
City of Cupertino P-CG (Planned General Commercial) in 1977. This rezoning permitted all uses listed
under the General Commercial Ordinance with the exception of restaurants, as the proposed commercial
use center (previously known as the Silver Oaks West) was intended to be low intensity to avoid
inhibiting the future viability of the Monta Vista commercial district (Resolution No. 1713; 8-U-77).
The site is presently comprised of 45% office uses, 29% medical office, 8% commercial offices (Insurance
Agency) and 17% identified as vacant. The two vacant suites, Unit 113 (Li) and Unit 101 (Kapila), are
proposing medical offices which would raise the percentage of inedical office use up to 47% of the total
center.
DISCUSSION:
Use Permit
The Use Permit request is to establish office uses, including medical offices, as a permitted use in the
complex. The General Commercial (CG) Ordinance requires a Use Permit at the Planning Commission
level to allow non-commercial office uses, including medical, to comprise more than twenty-five percent
of the building space if affecting over ten-thousand square feet. The City's Zoning Ordinance defines
these offices uses to include, professional, general, administrative, business offices.
To approve an application for a conditional use permit, the Commission must make the following
findings:
L The proposed development and/or use, at the proposed location, will not be detrimental or injurious
to property or improvements in the vicinity, and will not be detrimental to the public health, safety,
general welfare, or convenience;
2. The proposed development and/or use will be located and conducted in a manner in accord with the
Cupertino Comprehensive General Plan, underlying zoning regulations, and the purpose of this title
and complies with the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA).
The draft resolution (Attachment 1) explains the facts supporting these findings for this application. The
discussion below provides a discussion of the issues related to the findings.
Parking
The City's Parking Ordinance requires 1 (one) parking space for every 175 square feet of inedical/dental
office uses. However, the Parking Ordinance allows for a reduction in these standards with a parking
study conducted by an independent parking/traffic consultant. The attached report (Attachment 4),
produced by Hexagon Transportation Consultants, Inc, concludes that the sixty-six (66) parking spaces
is adequate to handle the peak parking demand of the medical uses for this center.
Architectural Site Application
The applicant seeks to retroactively approve the removal and replacement of a decayed redwood deck
with pervious pavers and landscaping. The proposed condition will be further enhanced with outdoor
patio chairs, and tables, and umbrellas.
148
U-2013-08,ASA-2013-06,&TR-2013-35 FCCA August 27,2013
Site Improvements
As conditioned, the applicant is proposing to install a detached sidewalk the full length of the property
frontage along Stevens Creek Soulevard and along the edge of N. Foothill Soulevard to the point a
detached design would result in a significant conflict with an underground utility box and would
require increasingly high retaining walls. As conditioned, the landscaping strip shall be improved with
street trees and landscaping to the satisfaction of the Director of Public Works. Existing air conditional
units, visible from Stevens Creek Soulevard and N. Foothill Soulevard, will be screened from view by
bushes, and the large unfinished dirt hill along Foothill shall be blanketed with drought-tolerant plants.
The site improvements are consistent with the City's General Plan in that detached sidewalks with a
landscaped buffer in between the street and pedestrian walk are preferred as they enhance community
aesthetics and improve pedestrian safety.
Tree Removal Permit
The detached sidewalk, as proposed, would result in the removal and replacement of one 32" diameter
pine tree. Due to the size of the tree, it is not a viable candidate for transplanting. The applicant proposes
to install two replacement 24-inch box Crape Myrtle trees along N. Foothill Soulevard; the final
placement shall be determined prior to building permit issuance and after the location of street trees is
determined.
ENVIRONMENTAL ASSESSMENT
The use permit is categorically exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) per
section 15301 (Existing Facilities) of the CEQA Guidelines because it involves a negligible expansion of
use and section 15303 (Replacement or Reconstruction) in that the removal of the deck with a paved
patio and installing a detached sidewalk will have substantially the same purpose and capacity as the
structure replaced.
PERMIT STREAMLINING ACT
This project is subject to the Permit Streamlining Act (Government Code Section 65920 — 65964). The
City has complied with the deadlines found in the Permit Streamlining Act.
Project received: July 25, 2013
Deemed complete: August 5, 2013
Since this project is Categorically Exempt, the City has 60 days (until September 23, 2013) to make a
decision on the project. The Planning Commission's decision on this project is final unless appealed
within 14 calendar days of the decision.

CONCLUSION
Staff recommends approval of the request since it is not anticipated to have significant impacts to the
neighborhood. Additionally, all of the findings for approval of the proposed project, consistent with
Chapter 14.18.180, 19.156.040 and 19.168.030 of the Cupertino Municipal Code, may be made.

Re: Parking Study far '!00'!1 N. Foothill Hot�levard in Cupe�tino
Dear Ms. Chosh:
Hexagon Transportation Car�s�ltants, inc., nas campleted a parking stuciy far the office condo at 10Q19 N,
�oot�ill Boulevard in Cupertino. The f�uilding awner has expr�ssed interest i� converting #he site i�or�t
general o�ce to medical offic:e. The office building at 1001'� N. Footi�ill Baulevard co�sists of
approximately 17,000 square feet of gross flaor area with 66 parking spaces provi�ed on site. The purpos�
of this stu�fy is ta determine whether the existing on�ite parking supply is sufficier�t to meet the pealc hour
demar�d due to the cha�ge�roposed.
T�e City's Parwng Ordinance requires 1 parking s�ace for e�ery 175 square feet of inedicaUdental office
us�.s. Flowever, it a4lovvs a reduction ir� these parking standsrds with a parking study canducted by an
independent parkingltraffic consultant.
Study Methodofogy
This parking study includes manual parking occupancy counts #hat were cond�cted every �alf-hour irom
8:00 AM to 5:00 PM at four exi�ting medical ofFce sites in order to capture tlie peaK medical offce parking
demand (see Appendix A} and a re�iew of t+�e fnstit[�te of 1`raffic �ngineers (�T�) standards for
medicai/dental �ses.
Study Results
Manua!Parfcing Occupancy Counts
The parking surveys were canc#ucted at four medical office sites in the nefghboring City of Sunnyva�e. T�e
sites chosen are �r� 5unnyvale because there were no appropriate sites in Cupertino. The criteria for
choosin�sites included having a ciistinc�parking Iot for the medical use.
The parking surveys shaw peak parfcir� occupancy in the mor�iRg between 11:00 AM and 12:00 �M. The
peak hour paricing demand for the August counts ha�e been adjusted for seasonal variatioh in patient
v�si#s. A study in the Annals of Family Medicine finds that tt�e percentage of total patient visits is 23.4% in
summer, 26.2% in fall, 25.1% in wir�ter ar�d 25.3°/a in spring based on tt�e estimated number of patient
visits to L1S FaEnily Physicians per yea�by season beiween �t 996 and 1998.'
Affer adjttsting for seasonal�ariation in patier�t visits,the parking dema�d generat�d for the medical o#fices
was absarved ta be batween 1 car per 250 sq�are feet and 1 qr per 400 square fe�t. Because of the
largs variance ir�the obsenred peak hour parking demand, the highest obser�ed peak hour par�ing ratio of
1 car per 250 square feet was �sed to represent a c:onservativ�analysis. Based on this park��g demand of
'f car per 250 sc;uare feet, the office building at 90011 N. Foothi�i 8ou[e�ard should have 88 par�itig
spaces in order to meet the peak hour parking dema�d g�ne�ated by a medical ofFice building.

lnstrfu�e of 7'ransportation Er�gineers (fTE) Parking Generafion
The aver�e pa�king supply ra#ia for a Medicai-�ental O�ice 8u[lding (IT� land use code 720) is 4.0
spaces per 1,000 square feet of gross floor area (1 spaoe per 25D sc�uare feet.) trased on the I7E Parking
Generation Manual, 4"' edition. These rates are based an parking studies collec#ed frorn approximately 77
meciical-dental office buildi�g sites surveyed t�rougho�tE the United States a�d Canada. This indicates that
the project wo�ld need B8 parking spaces. Fiowever, the average peaEc p�riod paricing demand for this type
of use as determined by the f�E r�anual is 3.20 vehiclas per 1,000 squaoe feet. 8asecf on this average
peak period park�ng dEmand rate, the project wo�ticf require 55 pariting spaees to accomr�odate the peak
pe�iod �arking demand.
Conciusion
Based on the man�al par�ing survey of four sites, #he project would nesd 68 parking spaces. Mowever, it
should be noted that the peak demar� for this study is hased on the �ighest parking demand ratio which
has also been adjusted for seasonal�ariation to a�fow for the most canservative parking demand ratio.
Qn the ot�er hand, baseci on the I�'E Parking Generation, as abserved from 77 parking surveys in the
�nEted States and Canada, 55 spaces wi�l be adequate to meet the proposed project,
It is our opinion that 66 spac�,s is adequat� to har�dfe the peak parking demand af #he medical uses
pro�osed for this office building.
We appreciate the opportunity to do this parking anaiysis for you. Please do not hesitate to contad �s if
add�tional information is needed.
