Attachment B to 180 day letter .pdfCITY OF IM CUPERTINO June 22, 2018 COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT DEPARTMENT PLANNING DIVISION CITY HALL 10300 TORRE AVENUE • CUPERTINO, CA 95014-3255 TELEPHONE: (408) 777-3308 • FAX: (408) 777-3333 CUPERTINO.ORG Via Electronic and Regular Mail Reed Moulds, Managing Director Sand Hill Property Company 965 Page Mill Road Palo Alto, CA 94304 Re: Vallco Town Center SB 35 Application Dear Mr. Moulds, Thank you for your submittal of the "Vallco Town Center Project Application Pursuant to SB 35" on March 27, 2018, and updated supplemental documentation submitted on June 1 and June 19, 2018 ("Project Application"). This letter serves as a determination of whether the Project Application is eligible for streamlined, ministerial review process pursuant to SB 35 (Government Code Section 65913.4(b)(1)(B)) within 90 days from the date the Project Application was submitted. This determination is based on the materials in the Project Application and information in the public domain available to the City as of the date of this letter. I. ELIGIBILITY FOR STREAMLINED, MINISTERIAL REVIEW SB 35 creates a streamlined, ministerial approval process for certain multifamily housing developments, if they meet the requirements of Government Code Section 65913.4. Once eligibility within the 90 -day period is determined, the eligible project will still be required to undergo development approval processes under SB 35 and applicable City requirements. The requirements of SB 35 are listed in the following table with a determination of whether the Project Application meets those requirements. Eligibility Requirements Yes No 1. Has HCD determined that the local agency is subject to SB 35? ❑x ❑ Yes, HCD's determination regarding SB 35 eligibility for all jurisdictions in California is available online at: httj2://www.hcd.ca.gov/12olicy-research/lhj2.shtml) 2. Is the project a multifamily housing development (2 or more ❑x ❑ residential units)? Yes, the proposed project is a mixed use development with 2,402 residential units and therefore, qualifies as a multi-family housing development. 3. Has the applicant dedicated the applicable minimum percentage ❑x ❑ of units in the project to households making below 80% of the area median income? Yes, HCD has identified the City of Cupertino as a "50% Affordable Housing jurisdiction" for purposes of SB 35 streamlining and ministerial review. Additional information is available online at: http://www.hcd.ca.gov/policy-research/lhp.shtml. The Project Application includes 2,402 dwelling units, of which 50% (1,201 units) are affordable to very-low income and low income households earning annual incomes less than 80% of the Area Median Income. 4. If the site is in a city, is a portion of the city designated by the N ❑ United States Census Bureau as either an "urbanized area" or "urban cluster," or, if the is in an unincorporated area, is the parcel entirely within the boundaries of "urbanized area" or "urban cluster"? Yes, the U.S. Census data identifies the City of Cupertino as being a part of the San Jose urbanized area. Additional information is available online at: htti2s://www.census.gov/geo/mal2s-daila ma s 2010ua.html. Eligibility Requirements Yes No 5. Does at least 75% of the perimeter of the site adjoin parcels ❑x ❑ currently or formerly developed with "urban uses"? California Government Code Section 65913.4(h)(8) defines "urban uses" to mean any current or former residential, commercial, public institutional, transit or transportation passenger facility, or retail use, or any combination of those uses. The site at which the development is proposed is adjacent to residential uses to the west, commercial uses across Stevens Creek Boulevard to the south, residential mixed-use and office uses across N. Wolfe Road to the east, a hotel (under construction) to the northeast and a parking lot to the northwest. Therefore, more than 75% of the perimeter of the site adjoin parcels currently developed with "urban uses" as defined in Government Code Section 65913.4(h)(8). 6. Does the site have either zoning or a general plan designation ❑x ❑ that allows for residential use or residential mixed-use development and does the development designate at least two- thirds of the square footage for residential use? Residential or Mixed Use Designation: The Cupertino General Plan: Community Vision 2015 — 2040 identifies the parcels at the project site as the Vallco Shopping District Special Area which has the following General Plan land use designation: Commercial/Office/Residential. This land use designation allows mixed-use developments with commercial, (including retail and hotel uses), office and residential uses. The current zoning of the property is Planned Development with General Commercial uses (P(CG)) south of Vallco Parkway and Planned Development with Regional Shopping uses (P(Regional Shopping)) north of Vallco Parkway. While the zoning does not allow residential uses, the General Plan designation allows for a mix of uses including residential. Government Codes section 65913.4(a)(5)(B) provides that in the event an objective zoning standard (here, the zoning designation) Eligibility Requirements Yes No is mutually inconsistent with an objective general plan standard (here the General Plan land use designation), the general plan designation prevails. The project proposes a mixed use development with residential, commercial and office uses. Therefore, the proposed project is consistent with the General Plan land use designation allowing a mix of uses, including residential. Two-thirds Requirement: SB 35 requires that two-thirds of the square footage of a proposed development be designated for residential use. The definition of "floor area" in the Cupertino Municipal Code Section 19.08.030(F) is being used to determine what percentage of the proposed development is designated for residential use. The Municipal Code defines "floor area" to mean "the total area of all floors of a building measured to the outside surfaces of exterior walls, and including the following: 1. Halls; 2. Base of stairwells; 3. Base of elevator shafts; 4. Services and mechanical equipment rooms; 5. Interior building area above fifteen feet in height between any floor level and the ceiling above; 6. Basements with lightwells that do not conform to Section 19.28.070(I); 7. Residential garages; 8. Roofed arcades, plazas, walkways, porches, breezeways, porticos, courts, and similar features substantially enclosed by exterior walls; 9. Sheds and accessory structures. "Floor area" shall not include the following: 1. Basements with lightwells that conform to Section 19.28.070(I); 2. Lightwells; 3. Attic areas; Eligibility Requirements Yes No 4. Parking facilities, other than residential garages, accessory to a permitted conditional use and located on the same site; 5. Roofed arcades, plazas, walkways, porches, breezeways, porticos, courts and similar features not substantially enclosed by exterior walls." Cupertino Municipal Code Section 19.08.030(A) defines an "attic" to mean "an area between the ceiling and roof of a structure, which is unconditioned (not heated or cooled) and uninhabitable." Therefore, mechanical electrical and other areas between the ceiling and roof are not included in the calculation of floor area. Cupertino Municipal Code Section 19.08.030(F) defines "first floor" to mean "that portion of a structure less than or equal to twenty feet in height, through which a vertical line extending from the highest point of exterior construction to the appropriate adjoining grade, passes through one story." Based on a review of the March 27 plans and supplemental information, the residential and non-residential floor areas have been appropriately designated. The Project Application complies with this requirement of SB 35 by proposing a mixed -used residential development consistent with General Plan land use designation and Municipal Code definitions with at least 2/3rds of the area designated for residential use as follows: Land Use Square Footage % of Total Residential 4,961,904 66.8 Office 1,981,447 26.7 Retail 485,912 6.5 TOTALS 7,429,263 100 7. Does the project involve a subdivision of land and the ❑x ❑ development is subject to a requirement that prevailing wages will be paid and a skilled and trained workforce will be used? The Project Application includes a tentative map to allow the subdivision of the parcels on the site into up to 2,500 condominiums (air parcels). In addition, the applicant, has certified Eligibility Requirements Yes No that the project will be subject to the applicable requirements of California Government Code Section 65914.3(a)(8) related to the payment of the general prevailing rate of per diem wages for all construction workers and that a skilled and trained workforce will be used. 8. Does the project meet density requirements, "objective zoning ❑x ❑ standards," and "objective design review standards"? Density: The project meets the maximum allowable General Plan density for the site. The project is located on 50.822 acres, prior to dedication of required right-of-way to accommodate frontage improvements. Based on the City's General Plan, the maximum allowed density is 35 dwelling units per acre for a maximum residential yield of 1,778.77 units. While ordinarily the City rounds down the unit count to disallow fractional units, since the applicant is applying for a density bonus (discussed further below), all components of the density calculations must be rounded up pursuant to the requirements of state Density Bonus Law. In this case, the base maximum residential yield would be 1779 units. Objective Zoning Standards: The General Plan contemplates the preparation of a specific plan for the project site. The specific plan is expected to include zoning standards. The draft specific plan is being prepared and was not adopted as of the date the Project Application was submitted to the City. Only those objective planning standards in effect at the time the Project Application was submitted to the City can be applied to the project (Government Code Section 65913.4(a)(5)). As a result, there is no specific plan applicable to the Project Application. There is a zoning designation for the project site which is inconsistent with the General Plan land use designation. Therefore, under Government Code Section 65914.3(a)(5)(B), where there is a conflict between the General Plan and zoning, the standards in the General Plan prevail. As stated above, the Project Application is consistent with the land use designation in the General Plan. In addition, the Project Application provides adequate information at Eligibility Requirements Yes No this stage of the review to determine if it is consistent with the objective zoning standards in the Landscape Ordinance and Green Building Ordinance. During the next 90 days allowed under SB 35, the applicant shall provide additional information to assure compliance with these applicable objective development standards and their implementation. The Community Form Diagram (Figure LU -2) in the Land Use Element of the General Plan identifies the heights within each of the Special Areas and Neighborhoods within the City. For the Vallco Shopping District Special Area, the Community Form Diagram identifies the Maximum Height to be "Per Specific Plan." However, since a specific plan has not been adopted for this Special Area, there are no applicable height limits. Therefore, the Project Application, at a maximum height of up to 2497' (including the elevator overrun,) conforms to the General Plan. In addition to maximum heights, the Community Form Diagram also identifies Building Planes a project must meet. Figure LU -2 states as a foot note: "Maintain the primary building bulk below a 1:1 slope line drawn from the arterial/boulevard curb line or lines except for the Crossroads Area" and "For the North and South Vallco Park areas (except for the Vallco Shopping District Special Area): Maintain the primary building bulk below a 1.5:1 (i.e., 1.5 feet of setback for every 1 foot of building height) slope line drawn from the Stevens Creek Blvd. and Homestead Road curb lines and below 1:1 slope line drawn from Wolfe Road and Tantau Avenue curb line." The proposed project meets this standard by maintaining the 1:1 slope line for all proposed buildings from the arterial/boulevard curb line. Objective Design Review Standards There are no specific "objective design review standards" for this site (e.g., architectural design standards). However, there are standard project requirements that are broadly applicable to development within the City (for example, standards that relate to streets). As allowed by SB 35, these standards will be applied to the project Application and are contained in Attachment B. Eligibility Requirements Yes No 9. Is the project outside of each of the following areas (the full text ❑x ❑ of the criterion listed below can be found in Section 65913.4(a)(6)? • Coastal zone — Yes, the project site is outside a coastal zone. The City of Cupertino's General Plan does not identify any portions of the City within a Coastal Zone. • Prime farmland or farmland of statewide importance — Yes, the project site is outside a prime farmland or farmland of statewide importance. The City of Cupertino's General Plan does not identify any portions within the City to be prime farmland or farmland of statewide importance. • Wetlands as defined under federal law — Yes, the project is outside any wetlands as defined under federal law. There are no wetlands as defined under federal law identified on the project site. • High or very high fire hazard severity zones — Yes, the project site is outside the high or very high fire hazard severity zones. The high or very high fire hazard severity zones are identified in Chapter 16.74 of the Municipal Code. • Hazardous waste site — Yes, the site is outside a hazardous waste site. SB 35 references CA Health and Safety Code Section 65962.5 and 25356. The sites listed pursuant to CA HSC Section 25356 are a subset of the sites listed pursuant to CA HSC 65962.5. Background, history and detailed explanation of Government Code Section 65962.5 is provided by the California Environmental Protection Agency (CalEPA) online at: htt-ps:Hcale-pa.ca.gov/sitecleanu-p/corteselist/Background/ The Cortese list databases list cleanup sites from multiple sources including the Department of Toxic Substance Control (DTSC) and the State Water Resources Control Board (SWRCB). The DTSC Envirostor database is available online at: https://www.envirostor.dtsc. ca.gov/public/map/?miyaddress=cuperti no This database does not indicate any cases on the project site. Therefore, no clearance is required from DTSC for the project site. The SWRCB Geotracker database is available online at: http:Hgeotracker.waterboards. ca.gov/map/?CMD=runreport&m uad dress=cupertino. CalEPA's website states that "sites that are no longer considered "active" because the Water Board, a regional board, Eligibility Requirements Yes No or the County has determined that no further action is required because actions were taken to adequately remediate the release, or because the release was minor, presents no environmental risk, and no remedial action is necessary, are listed as "closed" or deleted from the list." (Online at: https:Hcalepa. ca.gov/sitecleanup/corteselist/section-65962-5c/) The Geotracker database does not indicate any active Leaking Underground Storage Tanks (LUSTS) cases at the project site. It indicates two "closed" Leaking Underground Storage Tanks (LUSTS) cases at the former Sears and JC Penney Automotive centers for which closure letters were issued by the Santa Clara Valley Water District (SCVWD). The letters, issued in 1994 and 1999 respectively, indicate that there are no restrictions on changes to the land use at these sites. The closure letters are available online at (Click on Tab for "Site MapslDocuments "): https:llgeotracker.waterboards.ca.gov/profile report. asp?global id= T0608552828. https:llgeotracker.waterboards.ca.gov/profile report.asp?global id= T0608500770. Note: DTSC is not responsible for monitoring or inspecting LUSTS and therefore, no clearance from DTSC is necessary. • Earthquake fault zones in an official map published by the State Geologist, unless the development complies with state seismic protection building code standards and by local building standards. — Yes, the project site is outside earthquake fault zones and will comply with applicable state seismic protection building code standards and local building standards. • FEMA designated flood plain or floodway — Yes, the project site is outside a FEMA designated flood plain or floodway. • Lands designated for conservation in a habitat conservation plan — Yes, the project site is outside lands designated for conservation in a habitat conservation plan. • Protected species habitat — Yes, the project site is outside any protected species habitat. • Lands under a conservation easement — Yes, the project site is outside lands under a conservation easement. Eligibility Requirements Yes No • Require demolition of (a) housing subject to recorded rent restrictions, (b) housing subject to rent control, (c) housing occupied by tenants within past 10 years, or (d) an historic structure placed on a local, state, or federal register —Yes, the project site is outside an area that would involve the demolition of any housing subject to rent restriction, rent control or occupied by tenants in the past 10 years or an historic structure placed on a local, state or federal register. The site has historically been used and operated as a regional mall. There has never been any housing located on the project site. While the site is identified as a "Community Landmark" in the City's General Plan, the site does not contain an "historic structure that was placed on a national, state or local historic register" as referenced in SB 35. • Previously contained housing occupied by tenants that was demolished within past 10 years — Yes, the project site is outside an area that previously contained housing occupied by tenants that was demolished within the past 10 years. The site has historically been used and operated as a regional mall. • Land governed by the Mobilehome Residency law, the Recreational Vehicle Park Occupancy Law, the Mobilehome Parks Act, or the Special Occupancy Parks Act. — Yes, the project site is outside land governed by the Mobilehome Residency law, the Recreational Vehicle Park Occupancy Law, the Mobilehome Parks Act, or the Special Occupancy Parks Act The project site has historically been used and operated as a regional mall. There has never been any housing, mobile or otherwise, located on the project site. Therefore, the site is not governed by any of the laws and Acts identified. 10. Has the project proponent certified that either that the entire 0 ❑ development is a "public work" for purposes of the prevailing wage law or that the construction workers will be paid at least the prevailing wage? The applicant has committed in its Project Application that all construction workers will be paid at least the prevailing wage. The City shall obtain this written certification prior to approving the project in accordance with SB 35 and City permitting procedures. 10 Eligibility Requirements Yes No 11. Has the project proponent certified that "a skilled and trained ❑x ❑ workforce" will be used to complete the development, if the requirement is applicable? California Government Code 65914.3(a)(8)(B)(ii) defines a skilled and trained workforce for purposes of this section to have "the same meaning as provided in Chapter 2.9 (commencing with Section 2600) of Part 1 of Division 2 of the Public Contract Code." The applicant has affirmed in the Project Application that it will use skilled and trained workforce to complete the development. The City shall obtain this written certification prior to approving the project in accordance with SB 35 and City permitting procedures. Based on review of the Project Application and available information to the City and as demonstrated in the "Eligibility Requirements" table above, the Project Application is eligible for streamlined, ministerial review under SB 35. II. STATE DENSITY BONUS LAW The Project Application is seeking an increase in residential density under the Density Bonus Law. The residential "base" density under the General Plan allows 1,779 units. The project is proposing a total of 2,402 units. Because the project proposes 50% of the total units as affordable, the project qualifies for a 35% density bonus under the Density Bonus Law. The project proposes 1,210 units as affordable (360 very low income and 841 low income units). This 35% density bonus results in 623 additional units for a total of 2,402 units. The application of the Density Bonus Law is further explained below. a. Density Bonus: The project is located on 50.822 acres prior to dedication of required right-of-way to accommodate frontage improvements. Based on the City's General Plan, the maximum allowed density is 35 dwelling units per acre for a maximum residential yield of 1,778.77 units. While ordinarily the City rounds down the unit count to disallow fractional units, since the applicant is applying for a density bonus, all components of the density calculations must be rounded up pursuant to the 11 requirements of state density bonus law. In this case, the base maximum residential yield would be 1,779 units. The proposed project includes 360 units (20% of the units) affordable to households making 50 percent of the area median income (very -low income households) and 841 units (47% of the units) affordable to households making 80 percent of the area median income, making the project eligible for the maximum density bonus of 35%, which allows an additional 622.65 market -rate units (rounded up to 623 units for purposes of density bonus) within the project. Therefore, the project is allowed a total of 2,402 units in accordance with state density bonus law. b. IncentiveslConcessions: In accordance with the state Density Bonus Law, when a project provides a certain percentage of affordable housing, the city must grant incentives or concessions requested by the developer. The concession categories that relate to the project site include 1) a reduction in site development standards or a modification of zoning code requirements or architectural design requirements, which result in identifiable and actual cost reductions to provide for affordable housing costs or affordable rents as determined by state law, or 2) other regulatory incentives or concessions proposed by the developer or city that result in identifiable and actual cost reductions to provide for affordable housing costs, or for rents for the specified targeted units. Since the proposed project proposes 15% of the total units allowed in the project (360 units) affordable to households making 50 percent of the area median income, it is eligible for three incentives or concessions pursuant to the Density Bonus Law. The SB 35 application requests two concessions as follows: 1. Relief from the requirement in Cupertino Municipal Code section 19.56.050.G for affordable units to be of an identical design as the market rate units; and 2. Relief from the minimum amount of retail square footage required in the General Plan of 600,000 square feet (the project proposes 400,000 sq. ft.). In addition, the project description in the March 27 submittal states for the third concession that, "If the City properly identifies an inconsistency with an objective zoning standard and waiving that standard would achieve cost reductions, this final concession is reserved for such purposes." Based on the supplemental information submitted on June 1 and 19, 2018 wherein a more detailed explanation was provided regarding the concession relating to the 12 BMR units, the City has determined that two separate concessions are required. Thus, a total of three concessions are required for the project as proposed: 1. A concession to allow the affordable units to be studios and one bedroom units instead of a mix of units comparable to the units within the development pursuant to BMR Housing Mitigation Procedure Manual Section 2.3.4 (A); 2. A concession to allow the studio and one bedroom affordable units to be smaller in size than the studio and one bedroom market rate units pursuant to BMR Housing Mitigation Procedure Manual Section 2.3.4 (B); and 3. A concession to allow 400,000 square feet of retail, a reduction of 200,000 square feet, where 600,000 square feet is required in the General Plan pursuant to Strategy LU -19.1.4. III. ADDITIONAL ITEMS REQUIRED While the City has determined within the prescribed 90 -day period under SB 35 that the Project Application is eligible for streamlined, ministerial review, the applicant shall be required to submit additional information as identified in Attachment A in order for the City to confirm the proposed project as it relates to the applicable objective planning standards will be properly implemented. The items identified in Attachment A and any additional items shall be submitted in a timely manner to ensure that the City can adequately conduct this review within the 91-180 day review period. In addition, please find attached Attachment B which contains the standard project requirements that are broadly applicable to development within the City and thus, will be applied to the proposed project. The City will make a final determination on the project within the 180 -day timeframe dictated by SB 35 (Monday, September 24, 2018).
