99-088b Keyser Marston - Proposed Vallco Fashion Park Redevelopment Project EIR reportRedevelopment Plan Adoption Proposal . The City of Cupertino Proposed Vallco Fashion Park Redevelopment Project Area Scope of Services and Cost Estimate Keyser Marston Associates, Inc. Introduction and Background The City of Cupertino is considering adopting a redevelopment project and has requested the plan adoption services of Keyser Marston Associates, Inc. (KMA) to assist with'the proposed plan adoption of Vallco Fashion Park. The proposed Project Area is limited to the existing shopping center and the "rose bowl" site. KMA proposes to complete the scope of services within a 6 -month time period with a target adoption date of December 1999. However, the ability to adopt the plan within this timeframe will depend in large part on the Environmental Impact Report schedule. It is KMA's understanding that Vallco Fashion Park has experienced a decline in retail activity, with private sector attempts to revitalize the shopping center proving to be unsuccessful. Upon initial review by KMA of the proposed redevelopment Project Area, the shopping center was found to exhibit a number of factors that contribute to blight. Vallco Fashion Park is characterized by buildings that are functionally obsolete. Many of the retail spaces and layout - within the shopping center do not meet the needs of modern retail uses. Additionally, multiple parcels under multiple ownerships, a condition that would likely inhibit retail development, also characterize the shopping center. Compounding these issues is the City's concern over the . loss of sales tax revenues to nearby competing malls. It is the City's intent to use redevelopment as a tool to help alleviate these blighting conditions and to facilitate private sector development within the proposed Project Area. The Keyser Marston approach to the work effort will be to provide a strong team of redevelopment specialists to work closely with City staff to ensure that all analyses and work products comply with the requirements of the•Califomia Community Redevelopment Law ("CRL"). As requested, we have'assembled a team to provide plan adoption services for this project which includes, in addition to KMA, Nicole Murphy, Esq., who will provide redevelopment legal counsel and Wagstaff Associates, who will provide environmental review services. KMA has worked closely with Ms. Murphy and Wagstaff Associates in many plan adoptions. One of the hallmarks of KMA's excellent level of service is the close involvement of the principals of the firm in all aspects of a project. The Principal -in -Charge, Martha Packard, will work closely with KMA staff, City staff and redevelopment legal counsel to ensure that work efforts are thorough and completed according to the schedule. The KMA team project manager will be responsible for overall coordination of the work assignments within the firm, Agency staff, legal counsel, and EIR amendments that have a role in the redevelopment process. The project manager will communicate regularly with other team members and City -staff as to the status of the work efforts. Within -the framework of KMA's understanding of the project, the scope of services for the plan adoption of the proposed Vallco Fashion Park Project Area is divided into two general service areas: (A) Document Preparation and (B) Administrative/Advisory Services. Each service area is further divided into distinct tasks. A. Document Preparation 1. Schedule of Actions KMA will prepare a master plan -adoption schedule for the.project, incorporating all actions involved in the legal and administrative process of adopting a redevelopment plan (including the EIR). The schedule will list specific actions, responsible parties, scheduled dates for completion, and review time. The schedule will be updated as necessary during the process. This scope of services assumes that the adoption process will be completed within a 6 -month period. Estimated KMA Cost: $2,000 2. Preliminary Plan KMA will prepare a draft and final of the Preliminary Plan on the redevelopment project. The Preliminary Plan is prepared in accordance with Section 33324 of the Community Redevelopment Law and includes a description of the proposed project area; a general statement of the land uses, layout of principal streets, population densities, and building intensities and standards; a discussion of how the purposes of the CRL would be- served by redevelopment of the project area; a description of the proposed redevelopment's conformity to the General Plan of the City; a discussion of the general neighborhood impact of the proposed redevelopment project, and a map of the proposed project. Estimated KMA Cost: $2,000 3. Taxing Agency Identification and Preparation of 33327 Notices KMA will identify the taxing entities that levy a tax within the boundaries of the proposed Vallco Fashion Park Redevelopment Project Area. KMA will also prepare the notices and letters to be sent to the State Board of Equalization, Santa Clara County officials, and affected taxing entities pursuant to Section 33327 of the CRL. A map meeting the requirements of the State Board of 999nn\9nna-79fi dnr o--- � Equalization (SBE), and a legal description must be prepared for these notices. KMA is available to help coordinate these products with the City Engineer. Estimated KMA Cost:. $2,000 4. Preliminary Report KMA will prepare one draft and one final version of the Preliminary Report for the proposed redevelopment project. The Preliminary' Report will be prepared in accordance with the requirements of Section 33344.5 of the CRL. Information gathered for the Feasibility Study will be incorporated into the Preliminary Report. The Preliminary Report will include the following information: ■ The reasons for selecting the project area ■ A description of the physical and economic conditions in the project area ■ An analysis of urbanization • Identification of projects and programs proposed by the Agency • The blight alleviation effects of the proposed projects and programs ■ The proposed method of financing the redevelopment plan To date, KMA has completed sections of the Preliminary Report relating to: reasons for selecting the project area; physical and economic conditions in the area; and projects and programs proposed by the Agency. However, KMA will need to update the retail sales, vacancy levels and assessed values gathered for the Feasibility Report prior to incorporating figures into the Preliminary Report. KMA will analyze the financial feasibility of the plan adoption based upon a determination of anticipated expenditures and a projection of potential financing sources, including tax increment revenues (as projected by KMA), for implementation of a specific public-private redevelopment program. Given that the property owner is=appealing the current tax assessment, KMA will initially project the property tax increment under two scenarios: (1) assuming that the assessment appeal is successful and that the reduction is reflected in the project area's base year value; and (2) assuming that the assessment appeal is successful but that the reduced value is not reflected in the project area's base year value. Once an agreement has been reached with the assessor, KMA will prepare a third tax increment projection which reflects the negotiated base year value. Paae 3 _ KMA will prepare a projection of the project area's expenditures. Anticipated expenditures may include estimated costs for identified projects and redevelopment public participation efforts. To the extent available, existing plans for capital facility and infrastructure improvements will be reviewed and estimated costs for necessary or planned public improvements will be derived from available studies and conversations with staff. Administration costs will be projected by KMA. - Estimated KMA Cost: $33,000 5. Report to City Council KMA will prepare one draft and one final version of the Report to City Council for the proposed redevelopment project. The Report to City Council will be prepared in accordance with the requirements of the Section 33352 of the CRL and will incorporate the evidence from which the City Council will make-certafn findings upon adoption of the redevelopment plan. The Report to City Council will also contain a summation of the processes followed in adoption.the redevelopment plan as required in the CRL, and the information contained in the Preliminary Report in addition to the following: ■ The five-year implementation plan ■ An explanation of why redevelopment cannot be accomplished by the other government activities or the private sector acting alone ■ An analysis of the preliminary plan ■ The EIR (by reference) ■ The report and recommendation of the planning commission ■ A summary record of the project area committee and/or consultations with residents, community organizations, and others ■ The report of the county fiscal officer (base year report) and an analysis thereof ■ The summary of consultations with affected taxing entities Because of the nature of the assignment, the Report to Council will also include a detailed analysis demonstrating the inability of the private sector to act alone in alleviating blight. Estimated KMA Cost: $20,000 TOTAL TASK A ESTIMATED COST: $59,000 99900\900a-796.doc Pana d B. Administration/Advisory Services 1.

Schedule Monitoring KMA will plan a principal role in assuring that plan adoption actions are completed on time to achieve a target adoption date. KMA will also consider the role of responsible parties in fulfilling timely information requests. KMA will also monitor any other related process associated with plan adoption such as the environmental review process. 3. Coordination/Management KMA will provide on-going coordination of plan adoption activities with Agency staff, other consultants, and outside contacts. Services will include budget monitoring, maintaining contacts and referrals, maintaining a record of plan adoption actions, and other similar services not included in tasks otherwise described in this scope of services.

In October 1998, our office submitted a letter of interest in completing the environmental documentation component of the Vallco redevelopment program.. At that time, either a mitigated negative declaration (MND) or program EIR were being contemplated. Since then, we understand from the redevelopment consultant's legal counsel that a program EIR is the preferred approach. We have prepared similar program EIRs for over 20 redevelopment plans in California over the last fewr years. ` Some of these efforts began as MNDs; virtually all ended up as program EIRs. The EIR work scope described in our attached proposal has been designed to provide the documentation necessary to achieve redevelopment program compliance with all applicable state redevelopment law and California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) environmental review requirements, while keeping the EIR scope and budget within reasonable bounds. We believe that the community -wide environmental data base already developed by the City in completing its 1993 Cupertino General Plan Update Master EIR still provides a useful background data base, providing significant efficiencies for preparation of the Vallco Fashion Park Redevelopment Plan EIR. In addition, we expect that the applicant -commissioned traffic analysis currently being completed for this project by Fehr & Peers, Inc., under City staff supervision, can be readily incorporated into the EIR. Mr. Don Brown - June 8, 1999 Page 2 We also understand that the City may be undertaking a review and update of its General Plan and associated Master EIR in the near future. In this light, the Vallco EIR studies would be designed to be readily incorporated into the broader, community- wide General Plan Master EIR update effort. As we indicated in our October 1, 1998 letter, we are particularly interested in this Vallco Fashion Park Redevelopment Plan EIR prospect for a number of reasons: 1. Redevelopment Project CEQA Experience. The project would benefit from our extensive experience in preparing CEQA documentation for similar redevelopment programs. Our office has successfully prepared EIRs for 20 recent California redevelopment plans. In the last 12 months, we have completed EIRs for redevelopment programs in. Sunnyvale, Hayward, Citrus Heights, Fremont, Redwood City, and Redding. We are currently completing the EIR for the Sonoma County Community Development Commission's Russian River Corridor Redevelopment Plan. 2. Regional Shopping Center Renovation and Multi -screen Cinema CEQA Experience. The project would also benefit from our recent experience preparing EIRs for numerous regional and shopping center renovation projects, and for four multi -screen cinemas. In May of this year, our office completed an EIR for the Sunnyvale Town Center Redevelopment Project, a similar redevelopment agency assisted modification and expansion of the existing Sunnyvale Town Center Mall complex to incorporate a new multi -screen cinema and other updated uses (the Final EIR certified by the City on March 12, 1999). We also recently prepared the EIR for The Great Mall of the Bay Area in Milpitas, as well as a follow-up supplemental EIR for proposed modifications to that complex, including introduction of a 3,866 -seat, 20 - screen cinema. In 1998 we completed the EIR for the Sierra Vista Regional Shopping Center Expansion in Clovis, California, which included a 5,100 -seat multi -screen cinema. In 1997, we completed the EIR for a large, mixed-use project at the- Del Norte BART Station in El Cerrito, which included a 3,686 -seat, 20 -screen cinema component. 3. Management Skills and Qualifications of Key Staff. Wagstaff and Associates key staff are well-qualified to manage a project of this scope. John Wagstaff, who would perform as Principal -in -Charge, is a graduate architect with a Masters of Urban and Regional Planning degree from the University of Oregon and over 28 years of professional experience with project team assembly and management. He was Principal -in -Charge on all of the similar redevelopment and shopping center EIRs described in this proposal, and has managed numerous similar program and project - specific EIR efforts throughout the state. Donald Dean, Senior Planner, would perform as Project Manager, has a Master of City Planning degree from the University of California, Berkeley and 14 years of PROPOSAL FOR SERVICES TO THE CITY OF CUPERTINO - ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT REPORT FOR THE VALLCO FASHION PARK REDEVELOPMENT PLAN Submitted by WAGSTAFF AND ASSOCIATES Urban and Environmental Planners in Association with Fehr & Peers Associates, Inc., Transportation Consultants Illingworth & Rodkin, Inc., Noise Quality Consultants Donald Ballanti, Air Quality Management Consultant June 8, 1999 Mr. Don Brown June 8, 1999 Page 3 professional planning experience. At Wagstaff and Associates, Mr. Dean was recent Project Manager for the Fremont Redevelopment Plan Amendment and Merger EIR, the Citrus Heights Commercial Corridor Redevelopment Plan EIR, the San Ramon City Center Environmental Assessment project, and the Buckeye Redevelopment Program EIR (Redding). 4. Proven Performance Record. Our impact assessment and planning products are known for their thoroughness, clear and concise writing style, and effective graphic techniques. Our strengths in public presentation'are also proven. For redevelopment projects in particular, the ability to clearly explain and defend the impact assessment methodology can be critical in achieving program approval. These qualities have resulted in a high level of client satisfaction and repeat business for our office. 5. General CEQA Expertise., Wagstaff and Associates has 20 years of experience in preparing defensible environmental documentation for large and controversial projects throughout northern. California. Many have involved highly sensitive sites and been subject to high levels of scrutiny from the. general public and interested agencies. None of our EIR products. has been successfully challenged in court. This EIR proposal includes a preliminary work scope, budget, and time schedule that is certainly open to modification. We have enclosed one relevant Wagstaff and Associates work example, the Sunnyvale Town Center Mall Modifications EIR, for City/Agency review. Please return this document at your convenience. We appreciate the opportunity to submit this proposal. Feel free to contact us if you have any questions or additional information needs.

PROJECT UNDERSTANDING AND EIR APPROACH - A. PROJECT OVERVIEW The Richard E. Jacobs Group, owners of the existing Vallco Fashion Park shopping center in downtown Cupertino, are proposing to modify and expand the center to increase its competitiveness in today's retail environment. The City of Cupertino Redevelopment Agency is proposing to facilitate the shopping center improvement program through adoption of an "associated -redevelopment plan. The existing shopping center includes: (1) an enclosed approximately 995,830 -square -foot enclosed mall with three anchor department stores, a number of secondary mall stores, and an ice rink; (2) approximately 18,460 square feet of fringe commercial development comprised of two sit-down restaurants (El Torrito and TGI Fridays); and (3) an associated parking _inventory of surface and "deck" (parking structure) spaces. The proposed shopping center redevelopment plan includes the following modifications and additions to the center: • the addition of two more anchor department stores of 120,000 and 240,000 square feet each to the enclosed central mall area; • the addition of an approximately 2,986 -seat multiscreen cinema within the fringe area of the center; and • associated modifications to the center's surface and "deck" {parking provisions to provide a total of 5,665 parking spaces (i.e., a parking ratio of 4.00 cars per 1,000 square feet). Under state redevelopment law, implementation of the Vallco Fashion Park Redevelopment Plan will require the Redevelopment Agency to prepare and adopt. a series of five documents: (1) a Preliminary Plan, (2) a Preliminary Report, (3) the Redevelopment Plan, (4) an Environmental Impact Report, and (5),a Final Report. This proposal for services by Wagstaff and Associates describes a recommended work scope, time schedule, and cost estimate for the preparation, processing, and certification of the Environmental Impact Report (EIR) component of the redevelopment program in compliance with CEQA and California Community Redevelopment Law (California Health and Safety Code section 33333.3). In addition to the redevelopment plan, implementation of the project may also require City approval of a development agreement amendment, a use permit amendment, and an Wagstaff and Associates _. • Proposal for Services City of Cupertino Vallco Fashion Park Redevelopment Plan EIF� Page II June 8, 1999 I Wagstaff and Associates Proposal for Services City of Cupertino Vallco Fashion Park Redevelopment Plan EIR June 8, 1999 Page 1--2 associated development plan. The EIR will also be designed to provide the necessary CEQA documentation for all of these anticipated approval requirements. B. EIR PREPARATION APPROACH AND OBJECTIVES 1. Program EIR Format Following the advice of the redevelopment team legal counsel, the Vallco Fashion Park Redevelopment Plan EIR will be prepared as a program EIR under the authority of CEQA Guidelines section 15168; i.e., it will address the aggregate effects of the series of related actions (the "program") that would be facilitated by the redevelopment plan. The program EIR will describe the likely cumulative environmental consequences of full realization of the redevelopment plan goal to foster blight elimination and economic development in the Vallco Fashion Park shopping center precinct, plus any anticipated offsite housing or other improvement programs associated with the. redevelopment program. 2. EIR Scope It is anticipated that a careful and thorough Initial Study exercise at the outset by the EIR consultant will permit focussing the program EIR on the following specific issues:. ■ land use and visual impacts, ■ population and housing impacts, • transportation and parking impacts, • public services impacts (specifically police, fire, and emergency medical services; project impacts on schools, sewer, and water services will probably be determined to be less than significant in the Initial Study); _ - - air quality impacts (the anticipated level of growth and associated traffic increment will trigger the need for an air quality impact analysis); and • noise impacts (the projected Vallco redevelopment -related traffic increase along major downtown streets will be sufficient to require a noise impact analysis). Depending upon existing site conditions, the Initial Study may also determine that the proposed Vallco mall and surrounding site modifications warrant evaluation of associated _ geotechnical, drainage, public health and safety (hazardous materials), and/or -cultural - resources impacts. These particular analysis tasks are therefore identified in this proposed EIR scope as optional items. - Wpt11Qp9R1Qp7R-1 PRC Wagstaff and Associates _. City of Cupertino June 8, 1999 3 Use of Exlstlnq Data Proposal for Services Vallco Fashion Park Redevelopment Plan EIR Page 1--3 In preparing the Vallco Fashion Park Redevelopment Plan EIR, Wagstaff and Associates will rely on information contained in the 1993 City of Cupertino General Plan Master EIR, and on data from site-specific traffic and other studies currently being or recently conducted by the City.

Proiect Description The objectives and characteristics of the proposed Vallco Fashion Park redevelopment plan will be described to the extent needed for adequate evaluation of environmental impacts. Using text, tables, and graphics, the description will provide a clear illustration of the Wagstaff and Associates City of Cupertino June 8, 1999 Revised Proposal for Services Vallco Fashion Park Redevelopment Plan EIR Page II --2 redevelopment site, and associated redevelopment plan and project objectives. Through close collaboration with City and Redevelopment Agency staff, the redevelopment project description will identify the objectives and characteristics of the redevelopment project, and the range and extent of redevelopment actions likely to be implemented through the redevelopment plan. Specifically, the project description will include the following: • the project's regional and local setting; • precise location and boundaries of the project; • the basic project objectives; ■ the various jurisdictional entitlements and approvals requested from the City/Agency to implement the project; • the mall renewal plan physical characteristics and design particulars, with text, data, and graphics depicting the overall land use and circulation design (site plan), site access and internal circulation provisions, floor plans, architectural elevations, parking displacement and replacement plans; pedestrian, bicycle, transit provisions; signage features, exterior lighting features, street landscape features, building height and lot coverage information, grading aspects, etc.; • the anticipated construction schedule; • project operation and maintenance provisions (site and building ownership, 'proposed hours of operation, anticipated cinema operational characteristics and peak patronage, times and numbers, etc.); and • required jurisdictional approvals and permits necessary to permit construction and operation of the project. Note: Four (4) full size sets of project plans and one (1) reproducible 11 " x 17" reduction will be requested by the Wagstaff and Associates forteamuse in preparation of the EIR. It is also assumed for purposes of this proposal that the project application submitted to the City/ Agency by the applicant will be accurate and complete, and that no substantive changes to the project description will be proposed during the course of EIR preparation. F. Clarification of Key Issues and Concerns Wagstaff and Associates will clarify the environmental issues and concerns associated with the proposed project, based. on City/Agency staff contacts, data review, field survey, and telephone contacts as necessary. G. Completion of Initial Study Checklist and -NOP Based on the information gathered, Wagstaff and Associates will complete an Initial Study Checklist and accompanying narrative. to determine more precisely the appropriate scope of the EIR, using the current format recommended by the State Resources Agency, or if desired WP511QR2MQR9R-? PRO Wagstaff and Associates Revised Proposal for Services City of Cupertino Page Fashion Park Redevelopment Plan Eir1 Page HI 3 June 8, 1999 by the City, the City's own Initial Study checklist format. Wagstaff and Associates will also prepare the accompanying Notice of Preparation. The City/Agency will be responsible for reproducing and circulating the NOP and Initial Study. TASK II. DESCRIPTION OF SETTING, POTENTIAL IMPACTS, AND MITIGATIONS Existing onsite and offsite conditions relevant to the environmental implications of the redevelopment project will be described in written, and graphic form. Potential project impacts and associated mitigation needs will then be identified. Emphasis will be placed on key issues and concerns identified in Task I. Suggested impact categories and related subtasks are discussed below. (The team member with principal responsibility is identified next to each -subtasks heading.) In preparing these analyses, the consultant team will seek to avoid duplication of effort by making maximum possible use of existing environmental documents and other relevant studies available at or through the City (including any technical studies by the applicant). A Land Use and Planning (Wagstaff and Associates) The primary land use issues raised by the mall _renewal proposal are expected to include compatibility of the project (especially the multi -screen cinema) with existing and planned adjacent and surrounding uses in the downtown area, and project consistency with Cupertino General Plan goals and policies for the downtown. The following subtasks will be completed to address these land use and planning concerns: 1. Setting. --The existing land use pattern in the project's downtown vicinity will be concisely described in narrative, map, and aerial photograph form. General Plan policies related to the project site will be reviewed and reiterated: 2. Potential Impacts. The potential land use impacts of the project will then be evaluated and described, including: • Land use and other planning implications of the redevelopment plan, development agreement amendment, use permit amendment and any other planning approvals necessary to accommodate the project; • Compatibility with adjacent existing and planned retail, service, office, and residential - uses; and _ • Internal compatibility of the general shopping center modifications la rout. 3. Mitigation. Measures will be recommended as warranted to mitigate any identified potentially significant adverse land use impacts.

Visual Factors (Wagstaff and Associates) Wagstaff and Associates will use the architectural and landscape drawings and any other project description materials submitted by the applicant to evaluate the visual implications of the project. Wagstaff and Associates will apply its particular strengths in visual impact analysis and urban design to address these impacts. Primary visual issues raised by the proposed mall changes may include the marquee and other cinema design aspects, and the proposed height and bulk of the new - department store, cinema and parking structures in relationship to the surrounding existing downtown ,environment. 1. Setting. The existing visual character of the mall edges and surrounding downtown area will be described with concise narrative, photographs, and illustrative map diagram. The --description--will address any pertinent visual factors that have been identified as important in the City's Cupertino General Plan, and will include: • Site relationships to the overall downtown layout; Site relationships to existing commercial frontages (storefronts) along and on the opposite sides of Vallco Parkway and Wolfe Road; and • Important viewpoints of the project site from surrounding streets. 2. Potential Impacts. The potential impacts of. the redevelopment project on -the visual character of the area will then be evaluated. Adopted Cupertino General Plan policies relevant to the downtown area and any adopted City design guidelines pertinent to the project and its building height and bulk, architecture, signage, exterior lighting, and landscape provisions will be considered in determining the significance of project visual impacts. 3. Mitigation. If necessary, project modifications and refinements will be recommended as conditions of negative declaration to: reduce any identified significant adverse visual impacts. C. Traffic, Circulation, and Parking (Fehr & Peers Associates) Fehr & Peers Associates, consulting transportation engineers, are currently completing a traffic and parking study for the project under contract to the applicant, and under the supervision of City Public Works Department staff. The study, which will be completed in the next 10 to 15 working days, will evaldate project impacts on average daily traffic and peak hour volumes along affected city and region -serving streets and highways, as well as vehicular access and internal project circulation adequacy; impacts on public transit, and cumulative circulation and parking impacts. The study will be subject to review and approval by the City's traffic engineer. Note: For purposes of this EIR, Wagstaff and Associates recommends that the Fehr & Peers traffic study scope be modified to include two additional tasks: (1) evaluation of projected parking demand in relation to the proposed shared parking supply; and (2) up to four hours of WP511982819828-2. PRO Wagstaff and Associates _. Revised Proposal for Services City of Cupertino Vallco Fashion Park Redevelopment Plan E,IR Page 11--5 June 8, 1999 traffic engineer time to respond to public comments received on traffic and parking aspects of the Draft EIR. - For purposes of this EIR proposal, it is assumed that the Fehr & Peers traffic and parking study will, to City staff satisfaction, provide an adequate evaluation of project and cumulative traffic and shared parking impacts for summarization in the EIR. Following review and acceptance of the study by City staff, Wagstaff and Associates will incorporate appropriate findings into the EIR. Using the traffic and parking analysis and current City policies as a basis, the EIR will focus on: (1) the need for offsite transportation mitigations; (2) any need for changes to onsite circulation, access, and parking provisions; and (3) the adequacy (convenience) of the proposed parking program. - -D. Air Ouallty (Donald Ballanti, Air Quality Consultant) The Bay Area Air Quality Management District (SAAQMD) has established stringent thresholds of significance for regional air quality impacts. The BAAQMD considers projects that generate more than 80 pounds per day of ozone precursors or PM -10 (combining stationary and mobile sources) to be significant. The air quality analysis for the Vallco Fashion Park Redevelopment Plan EIR will use these significance thresholds to determine the significance of the project's air quality impacts. Donald Ballanti will complete the following tasks to provide these findings: 1. Setting. • A description of the climate, meteorology, and historical air quality data for the project area, and of current efforts to attain and maintain the state and federal air quality standards, will be prepared. • Any existing sources of air pollution in the study area, including mobile sources, stationary sources and sources of toxic air -pollutants, will be documented. 2. Potential Impacts. ■ Any potential for nuisance impacts during the construction period both within the project site and for any neighboring properties will be identified. • Microscale modeling of local carbon monoxide levels near major intersections that would be affected by project -generated traffic will be performed, using the CALINE-4 computer model. _ • URBEMIS-5 modeling for project regional air quality impacts will be conducted. • The significance of project construction, local and regional impacts wiif then be determined, using the thresholds. of significance recommended by the Bay Area Air Quality Management District (BAAQMD). Wagstaff and Associates Revised Proposal for Services City of Cupertino Vallco Fashion Park Redevelopment Plan EIR June 8, 1999 Page II -6 3. Mitigation. • Construction -phase controls and practices warranted to reduce dust impacts associated with construction will be identified. • Air quality mitigation measures or programs already included within the project operation and design will be identified. • If required, additional mitigation measures for any identified significant air quality impacts, and evaluate the effectiveness of these measures will be developed. E. Noise (Illingworth & Rodkin, Inc.) Illingworth & Rodkin will describe the noise implications of the proposed mall renewal project, ~ including the effects of associated traffic increases on ambient and cumulative future noise levels in the project area amd along principal local travel routes. Implementation of the redevelopment plan could affect the local noise environment in two ways: (1) by increasing vehicular traffic, and (2) by generating short-term construction noise. The following tasks will be completed to address these issues. 1. Setting. The principal noise sources currently affecting the mall vicinity include vehicular traffic on the 1-280 freeway and the local street network, and aircraft overflights. The noise environment in the downtown area will be defined by Illingworth & Rodkin. A noise measurement will be conducted in order to quantify existing noise levels at the site. The setting discussion will also describe pertinent noise/land use compatibility standards set forth in the City of Cupertino General Plan Noise Element. 2. Impacts. The likely effects of the anticipated project -related traffic changes on the local noise environment will then be ideritified. The project -related traffic changes identified by Fehr & Peers will provide the primary basis for -the noise impact assessment- General conclusions will be documented with respect to potential cumulative adverse noise effects of the project and their significance. Emphasis will be placed on potential creation or intensification of noise -related land use conflicts. Short-term noise impact potentials associated with the proposed project demolition and new construction activities will also be generally described. 3. Mitigation Measures. Measures warranted to mitigate any identified significant adverse noise impacts will be recommended. F Public Services (Wagstaff and Associates) The EIR will include an evaluation of project impacts on police, fire protection and emergency medical services needs. Project sewer, water, school, and parks and recreation impacts are WP511982819828-2. PRO Wagstaff and Associates _. Revised Proposal for Services City of Cupertino Vallco Fashion Park Redevelopment Plan EIR June 8, 1999 Page 11--7 expected to be less -than -significant. (This assumption will be confirmed through the Initial Study process described in Task LG above.) 1 Fire Protection/Emergency Medical Services. Wagstaff and Associates will describe existing fire protection, paramedic and ambulance service in the city and project vicinity based on consultation with the Cupertino Fire Department. Potential project demands on future fire protection, paramedic and ambulance service will be evaluated. The proposed mall modifications site plan will be analyzed for fire and emergency vehicle access. Any possible special training or equipment needs associated with the mulfi-screen cinema or parking garage components will be identified in consultation with the Fire Department. Associated mitigation measures or site plan changes will then be recommended. 2. Police:' Wagstaff and Associates will describe existing police station locations, beats, response times, officer -to -population ratios, and adequacy of existing facilities and equipment, based on consultation with the Cupertino Police Department. Potential project impacts related to increase demands for police service, including possible additional patrolling, personnel or ,facilities needs associated with the cinema and other new uses, will then be identified, and mitigation measures recommended. G. Solis and Geology (Optional; Wagstaff and Associates) If a potential for a greater than normal geotechnical impact is identified in the Initial Study process (Task I.G), the City/Agency may authorize that the EIR scope be amended to include a Soils and Geology section. If this work scope option is selected, the following subtasks will be completed to concisely address the geologic conditions of the project site and the degree of hazard potential associated with the proposed mall changes and proposed occupancy. 1. Setting. Existing conditions pertaining to surface faulting, groundshaking, groundwater, and other potential development constraints would.be summarized. The -analysis would be based on existing data," including any geotechnical investigations available from the applicant. 2. Potential Impacts. The information described above would be considered in evaluating any site potentials for long-term instability, and to gauge the hazards to the project associated with earthquake -induced groundshaking, and any other geotechnical factors. 3. Mitigation. It is expected that the construction on the project site in conformance with the Uniform Building Code would provide a sufficient level of structural integrity to resist - catastrophic failure, so mitigations would likely focus on any need for special fo-undation or remediation techniques that may have been recommended in available geotechnical reports. H Public Health and Safety (Optional; Wagstaff and Associates) If the Initial Study identifies concems regarding possible hazardous building materials in the existing structures to be modified or demolished, or possible soil or groundwater Wagstaff and Associates Revised Proposal for Services City of Cupertino Vallco Fashion Park Redevelopment Plan EIR June 8, 1999 Page II --8 contamination in the areas to be excavated, the City/Agency may elect to amend the EIR scope to address these EIR concerns, as -follows: _ 1. Setting. The potential for presence of hazardous materials within the proposed demolition and construction (excavation) areas that could pose a significant health and safety risk would be described, based on existing available information. (The description would be based on a computer-assisted interagency records search commissioned by Wagstaff and Associates.) No onsite sampling would be conducted. 2. Impacts. The proposed modifications to existing structures would be evaluated to determine the potential for contact by construction period personnel with any existing hazardous materials during demolition (friable asbestos, lead paint, etc.), or contaminated --soils or groundwater during excavation of the construction sites, based on available data. 3. Mitigation Measures. Any mitigation measures warranted to reduce or eliminate identified significant hazardous materials exposure impacts, including anticipated investigation and remediation protocols, would be identified. I. Cultural and Historic Resources (Optional, Wagstaff and Associates) Similar to Task G and H above, the Initial Study may identify a concern regarding project impacts on or relationships to an underlying or adjacent cultural or historic resource (historic building or neighborhood, etc.). If so, the City/Agency may elect the amend to EIR scope to address such concerns, as follows: 1. Setting. Wagstaff and Associates would describe the existing setting and the likelihood that underlying cultural artifacts may be found during project -related excavation activities, or an adjacent historic resource may be affected by the project, and _would describe the City's policies regarding such resources. 2. Potential Impacts. Potential for project disturbance of any potential subsurface archaeological values or adjacent historic values would be evaluated and documented based on existing available information, and the relative impact significance described. 3. Mitigation. Measures warranted -to mitigate any identified archaeological or historic resource impact potentials would be recommended. TASK 111. RELATIONSHIP TO LOCAL AND REGIONAL PLANS Wagstaff and Associates will discuss the compliance of the proposed project and its anticipated impacts with relevant policies of the City of Cupertino General Plan and any other pertinent City -adopted downtown policies and/or development guidelines. 's10c119R2R19R2R-2 PRO Wagstaff and Associates Revised Proposal for Services City of Cupertino Vallco Fashion Park Redevelopment Plan EIR June 8, 1999 Page II-9 As required by CEQA, project consistency with relevant adopted regional plans (Santa Clara County Congestion Management Program, Bay Area Air Quality Management District Bbay Area '97 Clean Air Plan, Regional Water Quality Control Board Water Quality Control Plan, etc.) will also be concisely discussed. TASK IV. CEQA-REQUIRED ASSESSMENT CONSIDERATIONS A Growth -Inducing Effects Aspects of the project that would be growth -inducing will be described. -B. Unavoidable Adverse Effects Significant environmental effects identified in the EIR that could not be avoided if the project were implemented will be identified. (Unavoidable adverse impacts are those that could not be reduced to less than significant levels by the mitigation measures. recommended in the EIR.) C Irreversible Environmental Changes Unavoidable adverse environmental changes due to the project that would be permanent will also be identified. D. Cumulative Impacts A reference to identified significant cumulative impacts of the project described within the various topical sections of the EIR will be provided. E Effects Found not to be Significant Based on the Initial Study (Task I G), a brief statement will be provided explaining why various possible environmental effects were determined not to be significant and are therefore not discussed in detail in the EIR. TASK V. ALTERNATIVES TO THE PROPOSED PROJECT The alternatives chapter of the EIR will include an analysis of the "no project" alternative as'. required by CEQA, plus three or four additional project alternatives. Identification of the altematives to be evaluated will be finalized in consultation with City/Agency staff. The alternatives will be developed to meet most of the basic goals of the project and to eliminate or reduce any identified significant environmental impacts. The alternatives could include mitigating modifications to the proposed project site layout and/or mitigating variations on the Wagstaff and Associates Revised Proposal for Services City of Cupertino -" Vallco Fashion Park Redevelopment Plan EIR June 8, 1999 Page II --10 proposed new uses (e.g., a smaller cinema with increased retail and other entertainment space; or a larger cinema with reduced retail and other space). A comparative evaluation of the alternatives will be provided that includes a qualitative, order - of -magnitude comparison of .key impacts such as land use and visual compatibility, traffic impacts, public service implications, air quality impacts, noise effects, etc. As stipulated in the CEQA Guidelines, the "environmentally superior alternative" will also be identified. If the "no project" alternative is the environmentally superior alternative, the environmentally superior alternative among the other alternatives will be identified. ---TASK VI. -PREPARATION OF DRAFT EIR The Draft EIR will be organized with existing condition, impact, and mitigation findings grouped by major topic (land use; visual factors; population and housing; transportation; public services; air quality; noise; etc.). The EIR will be concise and will be written for clear and easy understanding by City decision -makers and the general public. Appendices will be limited. A. Administrative Draft EIR Project description, existing setting, impact assessment, and mitigation measures developed in Tasks I and II will be refined and presented in an Administrative Draft EIR (ADEIR). The ADEIR will identify whether each impact is less -than -significant or significant. The ADEIR will also clearly identify whether an impact would be reduced to a less -than -significant level with mitigation, or`whether it would represent an unavoidable significant impact. These statements will be listed in a distinctive format so that they are easily ideritifiab_le. (For example, statements of significance will be coded and italicized.) Ten (10) copies of the Administrative Draft will be submitted to City/Agency staff for internal review and comment. B. Screen Draft EIR Wagstaff and Associates expects that one consolidated set of comments will be submitted by City/Agency staff regarding changes needed to the Administrative Draft EIR. A Screen Draft EIR will then be prepared, incorporating as necessary, revisions and refinements to the Administrative Draft based on City/Agency staff comments. Two (2) copies of the Screen Draft will be delivered to City/Agency for approvat before releasing the Draft EIR for public review. WP511982819828-2.
