PUBLIC HEARING
July 24, 2023
To: Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council
From: Dee Williams-Ridley, City Manager
Submitted by: Jordan Klein, Director, Planning & Development Department Subject: ZAB Appeal: 2720 Hillegass Avenue, Willard Park, Use Permit/Variance #ZP2022-0095
RECOMMENDATION
Conduct a public hearing and, upon conclusion, adopt a Resolution affirming the Zoning Adjustments Board decision to approve a Use Permit and Variance to demolish and replace/expand the existing recreation building and public restroom (community center), with a reduced rear setback, and to construct a stand-alone public restroom building and a trash enclosure, within an existing public park, and dismiss the appeal.
SUMMARY
The City of Berkeley’s Parks, Recreation and Waterfront Department has been studying the need for and possibility of replacing the existing building at Willard Park to provide improved public facilities for after-school programs, summer camps, and community gathering, as well as improved hygiene by providing centrally located bathrooms and a separate trash enclosure. After several community meetings and design studies, the department sought land use entitlements.
The zoning ordinance requires a Use Permit for construction of new main and non- residential accessory buildings, and a Variance for a reduced setback in the rear yard for the main building. The Zoning Adjustments Board (ZAB) reviewed the application and determined that it was appropriate in light of the special characteristics of the use and site, concluding that the park and facilities had a public purpose and competing demands that warrant a reduced setback.
Several neighbors filed an appeal of the ZAB decision, taking issue with a number of elements of the project and the zoning determinations. The Council must conduct a public hearing to resolve the appeal.
FISCAL IMPACTS OF RECOMMENDATION
None.
ZAB Appeal: 2720 Hillegass Avenue - Willard Park PUBLIC HEARING Use Permit/Variance #ZP2022-0095 July 24, 2023
CURRENT SITUATION AND ITS EFFECTS
On June 9, 2022, City of Berkeley Parks, Recreation, and Waterfront Department staff submitted a Use Permit application to demolish the existing recreation building/restroom and construct a new community center in the southeast corner of Willard Park, a Variance for a 4-foot reduction of the rear setback (16 feet where 20 feet is required), an Administrative Use Permit (AUP) for a new restroom building north of the playground and east of the tennis courts, and an AUP for a new trash enclosure within the street side setback along Hillegass Avenue.
Prior to submitting this application to the Land Use Planning Division, the applicant held five community meetings between 2019 and 2021. Members of the community and owners and occupants within 1,000 feet of Willard Park were invited, received presentations from staff, and provided feedback on the project design. A pre-application poster was erected at the site by the applicant in June 2022 to notify passersby of the development application. While the application was being reviewed, staff received letters from the community concerned about the status of the project, the ZAB meeting, and the demolition of the building. Land Use staff responded to questions and concerns about the entitlement review process, while the applicant team responded to questions and concerns in regards to the proposed demolition and replacement of the building.
On November 3, 2022 the Landmarks Preservation Committee (LPC) reviewed the demolition of the existing recreation building and took no action to initiate the property for local register consideration (Landmark or Structure of Merit designation). Although a motion was made regarding recommendations to implement certain design features celebrating the history of the site, this motion failed.1 On April 13, 2023, staff posted the public hearing notice of the ZAB hearing at the site and six nearby locations, and mailed notices to property owners and occupants within 300 feet of the project site, and to all registered neighborhood groups that cover this area.
On April 27, 2023, the ZAB conducted a public hearing for the Use Permit/Variance.
After receiving a presentation from staff and the applicant, and hearing public comments from community members, the Board discussed the project and approved the Use Permit and Variance by a vote of 8-1-0-0 (Yes: Duffy, Hauser, Yung, Lunaparra, Sanderson, Thompson, Gaffney, Tregub; No: O’Keefe; Abstain: None; Absent: None).
On May 9, 2023, staff issued the notice of the ZAB decision, and on May 23, 2023, the matter was appealed to City Council. The appellants include seven individuals who obtained signatures from 62 residents within 300 feet of the project site and 32 signatures from others, for a total of 101 signers of the appeal letter. The City Clerk set 1 The ZAB staff report inaccurately stated that the LPC forwarded six recommendations to ZAB; in fact the motion to forward recommendations to ZAB failed.
ZAB Appeal: 2720 Hillegass Avenue - Willard Park PUBLIC HEARING Use Permit/Variance #ZP2022-0095 July 24, 2023
the matter for review by the Council on July 24, 2023. Appellants were informed of the hearing date by letter on June 14, 2023.
On or before July 10, 2023, staff posted the public hearing notice of the Council hearing at the site and six nearby locations, and mailed notices to property owners and occupants within 300 feet of the project site, to all registered neighborhood groups that cover this area, interested parties who requested notice, and the appellants. The Council must conduct a public hearing to resolve the appeal.
BACKGROUND
The project site is located east of Telegraph Avenue and Willard Middle School. The area north, south, and east of Willard Park is residential and consists predominantly of two- to three-story dwellings.
The generally rectangular, 2.7-acre project site is a corner lot, with frontages on Derby Street and Hillegass Avenue. In 1969 Willard Park opened with only a turfed field. In 1970, the Willard Park Citizens Committee approved designs for a playground, “clubhouse,” tennis courts, and restroom. A Use Permit was not located for the building.
The Willard Park tennis courts occupy the former Regent Street right-of-way that passes through the park, and a path west of the tennis courts connects Derby Street to the Regent Street cul-de-sac behind Willard Middle School. The site is currently developed with the clubhouse and attached restrooms (now defined for zoning purposes as a community center) at the southeast corner of the lot, and a playground east of the tennis courts and north of the clubhouse. Much of the park is open space, with grass and mature trees. North of the clubhouse, along the Hillegass Avenue frontage, is a large oak tree. A large maple tree is east of the clubhouse along Hillegass Avenue, and a large redwood tree is south of the clubhouse.
The proposed project would involve the demolition of the existing clubhouse and restrooms and the construction of a new larger clubhouse in the southeast corner of the lot. The new clubhouse would include two community rooms, which could be combined into one room, a kitchen, restrooms, and an office. A covered trash enclosure would be added at the southeast corner of the lot. There would be a terrace east of the clubhouse, and new bicycle racks would be added between the terrace and the maple tree. A separate new restroom building would be added north of the playground and east of the tennis courts.
While the project was being reviewed in 2022 for zoning compliance, off-street parking was required by ordinance and a variance was requested to provide zero parking spaces. The applicant hired a consultant to prepare a transportation impact study to determine the number of parking spaces that should be required. The consultant recommended that a temporary on-street loading zone be added to accommodate drop- off and pick-up of children. The applicant planned to expand the existing 24-foot loading zone on Hillegass Avenue by 36 feet, to create a 60-foot on-street loading zone near
ZAB Appeal: 2720 Hillegass Avenue - Willard Park PUBLIC HEARING Use Permit/Variance #ZP2022-0095 July 24, 2023
the clubhouse. On January 1, 2023, AB 2097 went into effect and off-street parking is no longer required for this project proposal. Parks staff may still work with Public Works staff to add an on-street loading zone in the future.
At its April 27, 2023 hearing, the ZAB heard concerns from the community about the size and location of the project buildings. Much of the ZAB’s discussion was focused on the question of whether ZAB could make the findings that a variance for a reduced rear setback was necessary to preserve a substantial property right. While the ZAB ultimately determined that the findings could be made, staff have subsequently revised the findings to add additional background regarding the substantial property rights that are at issue (see Attachment 1A, section 3B). ZAB also added a condition of approval to consider bird safe glass measures, which is included in the findings and conditions before City Council (condition number 11).
The ZAB staff report inaccurately stated that the LPC had forwarded six recommendations to ZAB pertaining to historic preservation. Based on that presumed recommendation, ZAB added conditions of approval requiring the applicant to salvage the plaque attached to the building, photo document the existing building, and include interpretive panels on the park’s history in park renovations. However, in fact the motion to forward recommendations to ZAB failed (M/S/F: Finacom/Adams; Vote: 3-6-0-0; Yes:
Adams, Finacom, Linvill; No: Crandall, Enchill, Leuschner, Montgomery, Schwartz, Twu; Abstain: none; Absent: none). Therefore, the revised Findings and Conditions (Attachment 1A) prepared for City Council do not include those conditions that were based on the supposed LPC recommendation.
For additional project background, please see Attachment 4, the April 27, 2023 ZAB staff report for this project.
RATIONALE FOR RECOMMENDATION
The issues raised in the appellants’ letter and staff’s responses follow. For the sake of brevity, the appeal issues are not re-stated in their entirety. Please refer to the attached appeal letter (Attachment 2) for the full text.
Issue 1: Measure L (1986) violation. Appellants assert that the replacement of the existing clubhouse with a larger building requires voter approval (Attachment 2, page 1).
Response 1: Measure L was adopted by the City in 1986 and is codified in Berkeley Municipal Code (BMC) Chapter 6.42. BMC Section 6.42.010 states that no public parks or public open space shall be used for any purpose other than public parks and open space. A change in use at a park or open space requires voter approval. “Public parks” are defined as “City of Berkeley parks, public school playgrounds or lands held in trust by a public entity, which have been formally dedicated to permanent
ZAB Appeal: 2720 Hillegass Avenue - Willard Park PUBLIC HEARING Use Permit/Variance #ZP2022-0095 July 24, 2023
recreational use by the City of Berkeley, and funded for recreational use by City of Berkeley public funds.” (BMC Chapter 6.42)
“Public open space” is defined as “all City of Berkeley parks, public school playgrounds, and vacant public land, whether dedicated formally to park use or being used de facto as open space with recreation use or potential use on or after January 1, 1985.” (BMC Chapter 6.42)
The parcels that make up Willard Park were purchased by the City of Berkeley in 1957, 1964, and 1968. The park was formally dedicated in 1971 and has been in use as a public park ever since. Therefore, Willard Park is a “public park” and not “public open space” for the purposes of Measure L.
“Park” is not defined elsewhere in the BMC. The Random House Dictionary definition of “park”, which has previously been cited by California case law, is “an area of land, usually in a largely natural state, for the enjoyment of the public, having facilities for rest and recreation, often owned, set apart, and managed by a city, state, or nation.” The operative question is not whether construction changes the purpose of a facility, but whether it changes the purpose of the public park. The renovation and expansion of the Clubhouse (and its renaming as the Community Center) does not constitute a change in purpose for Willard Park; the park will still be used for recreation.
Under the ZAB-approved Use Permit project, the park would remain a park and the existing built areas for park buildings would increase in size. Voter approval is not required for the proposed improvements to Willard Park because no new or altered land uses would be introduced to the park. Furthermore, the zoning definition of “community center” is consistent with the existing use of the site: A noncommercial facility where the public can meet for social, educational, or recreational activities.
An example of a new use that would require voter approval would be the addition of a building to be used as classrooms for a school, since a school is a different use category. The community center use is an existing use at the park because there is an existing clubhouse building. Parks staff indicate that the building has been used for an afterschool program since it opened in the 1970s.
At the April 27, 2023 ZAB hearing, staff advised ZAB and the interested parties the Use Permit request was not a change-of-use, and therefore was not subject to a vote of Berkeley residents. ZAB considered and discussed the evidence presented at the hearing, and acted within its purview to approve the proposed project. Staff recommends that Council dismiss this appeal point.
Issue 2: California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA). Appellants assert that a categorical exemption should not apply because the use is changing from a
ZAB Appeal: 2720 Hillegass Avenue - Willard Park PUBLIC HEARING Use Permit/Variance #ZP2022-0095 July 24, 2023
clubhouse to a community center and associated impacts, such as parking and traffic, have not been sufficiently addressed (Attachment 2, page 8).
Response 2: Appellants are concerned that the new community center will create impacts on traffic, parking, and noise. Section 21084 of the Public Resources Code requires the CEQA guidelines to have a list of projects that have been determined not to have a significant effect on the environment, and are therefore exempt from the provisions of CEQA. Based on the recommendation from staff, ZAB found that the project qualifies for the Class 3 (New Construction of Conversion of Small Structures) categorical exemption (Section 15303 of the CEQA Guidelines).
The Guidelines list, as non-exclusive examples of small facilities that would qualify for the exemption, a store, motel, office, restaurant, or similar structure not exceeding 2500 square feet, or up to 4 such buildings not exceeding 10,000 square feet, in an urbanized area. (Id. § 15303(c).) The Guidelines also list, as further examples, a single-family residence, or up to 3 such residences in urbanized areas. (Id. § 15303(a).) The proposed Community Center is similar to these examples because it is 3,499 square feet, which is smaller than the 10,000 square feet authorized by the Guidelines, and it is smaller and uses fewer resources than commercial structures or residences that are expressly exempt under Class 3 (such as a 9,000 square foot home or four separate restaurants of 2,000 square feet or more). The proposed Community Center is also only 15 feet, 8.5 inches tall, which is shorter than that allowed by zoning in the surrounding area. (See BMC 23.202.080(D).) Thus, it is appropriate to apply the Class 3 exemption.
Additionally, none of the exceptions in CEQA Guidelines Section 15300.2 apply because: (a) the project will not “impact an environmental resource of hazardous or critical concern”; (b) there are no cumulative impacts because there have not been successive projects of this type in the same place; (c) there is not a “reasonable possibility that the [Project] will have a significant effect on the environment due to unusual circumstances”; (d) the project is not located near a scenic highway; (e) the project site is not located on a hazardous waste site pursuant to Government Code Section 65962.5; and (f) the project would not affect any historical resource because there are no landmarks or structures of merit in Willard Park.
For purposes of exception (c), the Project’s size, location, and purported impacts on traffic do not amount to an “unusual circumstance” creating a reasonable possibility of a significant effect on the environment. The proposed Community Center is similar in size and effect to other Class 3 projects, and to other buildings in the surrounding area. It is also less resource-intensive than other projects in the exempt class, such as large commercial structures. As a result, there are no unusual effects on traffic and noise in the community that would differ from the norm for other projects of its type.
ZAB Appeal: 2720 Hillegass Avenue - Willard Park PUBLIC HEARING Use Permit/Variance #ZP2022-0095 July 24, 2023
Traffic impact analysis is not required for projects located within a quarter mile of a “high-quality transit corridor2” or a half mile from a “major transit stop3.” Because this site is within a quarter mile from a high-quality transit corridor, no traffic impact analysis is required for the City’s review and consideration. In addition, the use of the site will not increase substantially but instead will be enhanced to meet existing demand in a more suitable setting.
ZAB considered and discussed the evidence presented at the hearing, and acted within its purview to approve the proposed project. Staff recommends that Council dismiss this appeal point.
Issue 3: Intensification of Use. Appellants assert that a change in use from “clubhouse” to “community center” and the intensification of use would lead to impacts to the neighborhood such as increased noise (Attachment 2, page 1).
Response 3: This appellant point appears to be the result of a misunderstanding of terminology. The subject building, referred to as the Willard Park Clubhouse, is a community center as defined under the Zoning Ordinance, BMC Section 23.502.020.
Specifically, the BMC defines community center as a “noncommercial facility where the public can meet for social, educational, or recreational activities.” The term “clubhouse” is not defined in the municipal code. The existing and proposed new buildings both function as a community center because of their noncommercial recreational use. Adding a new building to be used for social, educational, and recreational activities would not change the use at the site. The use would continue to be a park, with related uses and structures, including a field, playground, tennis courts and restrooms.
Appellants are concerned that the proposed park improvements would result in greater noise because the park would be available for social activities and could include amplified music. However, the facility would be under the control and supervision of the City, which could impose various restrictions on the use of the facility, and any noise disturbance is governed by the Community Noise Ordinance, BMC Section 13.40. The park is currently and would continue to be subject to the Community Noise Ordinance if City Council upholds the ZAB decision to approve the project.
The applicant arrived at the proposed improvements and programming of Willard Park after reviewing feedback from the community and the Parks, Recreation and Waterfront Commission, studying the site constraints and budget, and weighing all of the public 2 Defined in Public Resources Code 21155 as corridor with fixed route bus service with service intervals no longer than 15 minutes during peak commute hours.
3 Defined in CEQA Section 21064.3 as a site containing a rail transit station, a ferry terminal served by either a bus or rail transit service, or the intersection of two or more major bus routes with a frequency of service interval of 15 minutes or less during the morning and afternoon peak commute periods.
ZAB Appeal: 2720 Hillegass Avenue - Willard Park PUBLIC HEARING Use Permit/Variance #ZP2022-0095 July 24, 2023
interests. In accordance with its purview under the Zoning ordinance (Title 23), ZAB does not dictate park programming. According to Parks staff, the increased size of the facility would better accommodate existing demand. Currently, the capacity of the afterschool and summer day camp programs are limited to 45 children, with a waitlist of approximately 25 children. The proposed maximum enrollment with the new building is 60 children.
ZAB considered and discussed the evidence presented at the hearing, and acted within its purview to approve the proposed project. Staff recommends that Council dismiss this appeal point.
Issue 4: Variance Findings. Appellants assert that reducing the R-2 District minimum rear yard setback from 20 feet to 16 feet would impact the abutting property at 2732 Hillegass Avenue (neighboring property to the south) and violates the owner’s property rights (Attachment 2, page 1).
Response 4: The applicant has requested a variance to the required R-2 District minimum rear setback for the new building. This adjustment would facilitate a new community center while reducing impacts to the park’s open lawn area. The requested 16-foot setback will reduce the open lawn area by 1,088 square feet, which is 1.3 percent of the lawn open space area (84,384 square feet, including the playground). A 20-foot setback will reduce the open lawn area by 1,752 square feet, which is 2 percent of the lawn open space area.
The appellants state that the proposed 16-foot rear setback is insufficient when compared to other community centers within the City, which often have a street separating them from neighboring properties (Appeal letter, page 9 of 22). It is true that the community centers at other parks (for example Live Oak Park and San Pablo Park) do not abut residential properties. However, the existing clubhouse building has a rear setback of 11 feet 8 inches, and has been in operation since the 1970s. Parks staff prefer a 16-foot setback for the proposed community center because the building will largely comply with the required rear setback, the setback will increase relative to existing conditions, the programmatic needs of the project can be met, less land behind the building will be unnecessarily left unused, and the impacts to the open lawn area will be minimized.
The appellants contend that the variance for the rear setback is a “taking” from the property rights of the abutting property owner (Appeal letter, page 9 of 22). Takings jurisprudence arises from the Fifth Amendment to the United States Constitution, and provides that no private property can be taken for public use without the payment of just compensation. There are many different types of takings (physical invasions of property, regulatory takings that restrict the use of property, or land use exactions such as easements), none of which are applicable to the effect of this project upon neighboring parcels. The appellants cite a ZAB member who said “there is no exceptional circumstance” that warrants the variance for the setback. As discussed in the ZAB staff
ZAB Appeal: 2720 Hillegass Avenue - Willard Park PUBLIC HEARING Use Permit/Variance #ZP2022-0095 July 24, 2023
report and findings, Willard Park is one of the few places in the area that provides City- owned public open space, the need for public open space limits the location of the proposed community center, and the variance is proposed to add a new community center while limiting impacts to open space. In a vote of eight “yes” and one “no,” the majority of ZAB members voted to approve the variance. In approving the variance, the City is not taking any part of the property at 2732 Hillegass Avenue.
The appeal point appears to be without merit. ZAB considered and discussed the evidence presented at the hearing, and acted within its purview to approve the proposed project. Staff recommends that Council dismiss this appeal point Issue 5: Detriment Finding – Interior Side Yard. Appellants assert that the proposed 6-foot interior side setback from 2731 Regent Street (neighboring property to the west) is detrimental and violates the owner’s property rights (Attachment 2, page 1).
Response 5: The current interior (right) side setback for the clubhouse is 87 feet. The R- 2 development standards require only a 4-foot interior setback for the proposed building. The appellants refer to the change in the setback as a “violation of the historically determined setback for the lot on which the proposed building is going to be built” (Appeal letter, page 21 of 22). A setback is defined as the distance between a lot line and a building or other site improvement (BMC Section 23.502.020). Setbacks are not based on the historical use or condition of a property. The proposed interior-side setback conforms to the Zoning code.
The appeal point appears to be without merit. ZAB considered and discussed the evidence presented at the hearing, and acted within its purview to approve the proposed project. Staff recommends that Council dismiss this appeal point.
Issue 6: Detriment Finding – Building Height. Appellants assert that the proposed building is two stories when viewed from the west, and will impact the views of abutting properties (Attachment 2, page 2).
Response 6: The proposed building is one story in height and no significant view corridors would be affected by the ZAB-approved project.
BMC Section 23.106.060 defines a story as the “portion of a building included between the upper surface of any floor and the upper surface of the floor next above.” The number of stories of a building is not based on the height of the building. The proposed building would feature a single floor level and, therefore, would be a single-story building. The proposed height of the building is 17 feet 8 ½ inches, and the existing building is approximately 12 feet high. The height of the building is based on measuring from the average grade under the building to the top of the ridge of the proposed shed roof (see BMC Section 23.106.090(A) for more on average height).
ZAB Appeal: 2720 Hillegass Avenue - Willard Park PUBLIC HEARING Use Permit/Variance #ZP2022-0095 July 24, 2023
The appellants are concerned the new community center will block the view of the park for some tenants who reside at 2732 Hillegass Avenue (Appeal letter, page 20 of 22).
Evidence of the existing view and the impact of the proposed project were not provided by appellants. BMC Section 23.502.020, defines view corridors as a “significant view of the Berkeley Hills, San Francisco Bay, Mt. Tamalpais, or a significant landmark such as the Campanile, Golden Gate Bridge, and Alcatraz Island or any other significant vista that substantially enhances the value and enjoyment of real property.” The Willard Park neighborhood features relatively flat topography and does not provide significant west- facing vistas. Sightlines of the park from nearby vantage points are not protected view corridors under the Zoning ordinance. Substantial tree cover already obscures views, as well.
ZAB considered and discussed the evidence presented at the hearing, and acted within its purview to approve the proposed project. Staff recommends that Council dismiss this appeal point.
Issue 7: Detriment Finding - Rainwater Drainage (Attachment 2, Page 2).
Appellants assert that runoff will be affected by the development and harm neighboring property.
Response 7: The adjacent neighbors residing at 2731 Regent Street and 2732 Hillegass Avenue are concerned about the drainage at the site of the proposed building because their properties are at a lower elevation than the park.
The City’s standard practice requires drainage to be unimpeded and not redirected to neighboring properties. The slopes of the site will be slightly modified to accommodate the floor of the new building, and retaining walls and swales will be provided to direct runoff within the park site. Public Works Engineering staff review building permit applications for compliance with best practices. The ZAB-approved Use Permit includes standard Conditions of Approval (COAs) that address drainage at the site during construction and at all times; see COAs #35-41 and #48 in Attachment 1, Exhibit A.
Therefore, staff concludes that this matter would be addressed if City Council were to uphold ZAB’s decision and recommends the Council dismiss this appeal point.
Issue 8: Detriment Finding - Size, Placement, and Safety of Restroom. (Attachment 2, page 2).
Response 8: The proposed park improvements include a new restroom building to be located east of the tennis courts, at the edge of the open space area, that will open to the west. However, the appellants would prefer that the proposed restrooms be located north of the tennis courts, and have suggested a Portland Loo (prefabricated restroom) be installed instead of a new restroom building (Appeal letter, pages 18 to 19 of 22).
The appellants are concerned because the restroom doors will not be readily visible from Hillegass Avenue or Derby Street and people may not feel safe walking from the
ZAB Appeal: 2720 Hillegass Avenue - Willard Park PUBLIC HEARING Use Permit/Variance #ZP2022-0095 July 24, 2023
street to the restrooms at night. The appellants would like to know whether the Berkeley Police Department has reviewed the location and orientation of the restroom building.
At the ZAB hearing, the project architect stated that they chose not to locate the new restroom north of the tennis courts because that would have required removing the “potters” wall along Derby Street. The applicant team took a poll and surveyed the public, and also talked to the police, and decided to locate the new restroom east of the tennis courts, at the edge of the open space area. After confirming that the applicant had discussed the restroom location with the police ZAB indicated that they were satisfied with the location of the restroom.
The applicant has proposed a new restroom building, with two gender neutral stalls, that is 17 feet 11 inches in length and 10 feet wide. The appellants state that the Portland Loo is smaller, measuring 10 feet 7 inches in length and 6 feet in width. The appellants add that two Portland Loos would fit parallel to the north fence of the tennis court, and since the Portland Loo would not require utility connections it would cost less than a new restroom building. The type of restroom building added to the site (modular or new construction that matches the new community center) is not under the purview of ZAB.
The appellants’ preferred location for the new restrooms is outside of the project site, on an abandoned right-of-way.
ZAB considered and discussed the evidence presented at the hearing, and acted within its purview to approve the proposed project. Staff recommends that Council dismiss this appeal point.
Issue 9: Participation: Appellant asserts that the plans presented at the April 27, 2023 ZAB hearing were not previously presented to the community for comment.
They also believe that time allotted to speakers at the hearing was insufficient (Attachment 2, page 5).
Response 9: Between September 2019 and October 2021, Parks staff held five community meetings and eight focus group meetings. The final conceptual design was presented to the community at a meeting on October 28, 2021, with a compliant 20-foot rear setback for the community center. Due to community concerns about impacts to the open lawn area, the applicant’s architect created architectural drawings with a 16- foot setback subsequent to the public meetings.
In June 2022, the applicant submitted their Use Permit/Variance application to Land Use Planning, including architectural plans which were more detailed than the conceptual designs previously shared with the community. However, the required project information poster was attached to fences on the Hillegass Avenue and Derby Street frontages at the site, which provided a description of the project and a contact person for obtaining more information. In October 2022 the applicant submitted revised project plans. The size of the main building was reduced from 4,200 square feet to 3,285 square feet due to increased construction costs. Like all other discretionary
ZAB Appeal: 2720 Hillegass Avenue - Willard Park PUBLIC HEARING Use Permit/Variance #ZP2022-0095 July 24, 2023
Zoning permits, the project files, including plans, were posted to the City’s webpage (https://permits.cityofberkeley.info/citizenaccess/Default.aspx). Staff was contacted by members of the public about the project, and staff provided instructions on how the public could locate the plans on the City’s website.
Two weeks before the ZAB meeting, staff sent out public hearing notices to the owners and occupants who reside at or own properties within 300 feet of the project site, and posted public hearing notices in the project vicinity. When the ZAB meeting agenda packet was published, staff forwarded the link to members of the public who had previously emailed staff. At the ZAB meeting, due to the number of attendees interested in speaking on this item, and other items on the agenda, the ZAB chair limited public comment to one minute per person. The project plans presented at the ZAB hearing were more refined than the conceptual drawings presented at public meetings before the application was submitted, and also showed a 16-foot rear setback. Members of the community have been able to review the plans and submit comments since the application was submitted.
ZAB considered and discussed the evidence presented at the hearing, and acted within its purview to approve the proposed project. Staff recommends that Council dismiss this appeal point.
Issue 10: Application Materials: Appellant asserts that story poles should have been installed (Attachment 2, page 2).
Response 10: Consistent with the City’s practice, the installation of story poles is not required for low-rise development projects like the subject single-story building nor for projects outside of the Hillside Overlay district.
The City’s Zoning Project Application Submittal Requirements indicate that story poles are required for new main buildings and additions exceeding 14 feet in average height in the Hillside Overlay District. This project is not in the Hillside Overlay. Furthermore, staff did not require the installation of story poles because the project area does not feature scenic vistas as defined in BMC Section 23.502.020 for view corridors as discussed previously under Appeal Issue 6, above.
Therefore, staff finds that this Appeal point does not warrant further consideration and recommends the Council dismiss this matter.
ENVIRONMENTAL SUSTAINABILITY
The project approved by the ZAB is in compliance with all applicable State and local environmental requirements, would be located in a transit-rich area, and would be built and operated according to current codes for energy conservation, waste reduction, low toxicity, and other factors.
ZAB Appeal: 2720 Hillegass Avenue - Willard Park PUBLIC HEARING Use Permit/Variance #ZP2022-0095 July 24, 2023
ALTERNATIVE ACTIONS CONSIDERED
Pursuant to BMC Section 23.410.040(G), the Council may (1) continue the public hearing, (2) reverse, affirm, or modify the ZAB’s decision, or (3) remand the matter to the ZAB.
ZAB approved the variance for the 16-foot rear setback, but Council could modify the allowed rear setback. The new building otherwise complies with development standards. At the request of staff, after the ZAB hearing, the applicant provided an alternative, modified version of the site plan which shows the impact of shifting the proposed building to comply with the 20-foot rear setback (Attachment 3). A 20-foot setback will not impact the existing mature trees (oak, maple, and redwood), but it will shift the path in front of the new community center further north, which will reduce the open lawn area by approximately 1,800 square feet.
Action Deadline:
Pursuant to BMC Section 23.410.040(I), if the disposition of the appeal has not been determined within 30 days from the date the public hearing was closed by the Council (not including Council recess), then the decision of the Board shall be deemed affirmed and the appeal shall be deemed denied.

#ZP2022-0095 Use Permit and Variance to demolish and replace/expand the existing recreation building and public restroom (community center) with a reduced rear setback and to construct a stand-alone public restroom building and a trash enclosure within an existing public park in the R-2 (Restricted Two-Family Residential) District.
PERMITS REQUIRED
Use Permit, under BMC Section 23.326.070(A), to demolish the existing non-residential main building (community center and restroom).
Use Permit, under BMC Section 23.202.020(A), to construct a new non-residential main building to expand and operate the new community center.
Variance, under BMC Section 23.406.050, from BMC Section 23.202.080(D)(1), to allow a reduced rear setback of 16 feet where 20 feet is required (new community center building). Administrative Use Permit, under BMC Section 23.304.060(C)(1) to construct a non-residential accessory building (new restroom).
Administrative Use Permit, under BMC Section 23.304.060(C)(2)(b), to construct an accessory structure (trash enclosure) within a street side setback on a corner lot.
I. CEQA FINDINGS
1. The project is categorically exempt from the provisions of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA, Public Resources Code §21000, et seq. and California Code of Regulations, §15000, et seq.) pursuant to Section 15303 of the CEQA Guidelines (“New Construction”).
Class 3 consists of construction and location of limited numbers of new, small facilities or structures; installation of small new equipment and facilities in small structures; and the conversion of existing small structures from one use to another where only minor modifications are made in the exterior of the structure.
2. Furthermore, none of the exceptions in CEQA Guidelines Section 15300.2 apply, as follows:
(a) the site is not located in an environmentally sensitive area where an environmental resource of hazardous or critical concern is designated, precisely mapped, and officially adopted pursuant to law by federal, state, or local agencies; (b) there are no cumulative impacts of successive projects of the same type in the same place over time; (c) there are no significant effects due to unusual circumstances; (d) the project is not located near a scenic highway, (e) the project site is not located on a list of hazardous waste sites compiled pursuant to Government Code Section 65962.5, and (f) the project would not affect any historical resource.

1. Use Permit for Demolition. As required by BMC Section 23.326.070(C) and (D), the Council finds that the proposed demolition of the existing non-residential building is permissible because:
A. A historic resources evaluation of the property (Rincon Consultants, September, 2021) concluded that the existing clubhouse did not meet the criteria for the California/National Register or a City of Berkeley Landmark. At the regular LPC meeting on November 3, 2022, the LPC took no action to initiate the property for local register consideration (i.e. Landmark or Structure of Merit designation), but did vote to forward to ZAB several recommendations that were adopted by ZAB as special conditions of approval.
B. The demolition of the existing building will not be materially detrimental to the commercial and public interest of any affected neighborhood in the City because the existing community center is undersized and would be replaced to meet the needs of the community as expressed in a number of workshops, interviews, and studies. The existing 565 square foot building would be replaced with a new 3,301 square-foot building for childcare and community use, a new trash enclosure to secure and separate that function from the community center, and the new accessory restroom building would replace the existing 114 square-foot floor area with a new 198 square-foot building near the tennis courts, a location that is preferred by staff and the community (based on surveys and public meetings).
C. Demolition is necessary to allow construction of the proposed buildings because the site area available for a community center is limited based on the location of the general recreation area, large protected trees and circulation pathways.
2. Use Permit for New Construction and Operation. As required by BMC Section
23.406.040(E)(1), the Council finds that the project, under the circumstances of this particular case existing at the time at which the application is granted, would not be detrimental to the health, safety, peace, morals, comfort, and general welfare of the persons residing or working in the neighborhood of such proposed use or be detrimental or injurious to property and improvements of the adjacent properties, the surrounding area or neighborhood, or to the general welfare of the City because:
A. The project is subject to the City’s standard conditions of approval regarding construction noise and air emissions, waste diversion, toxics management, tree protection, and stormwater control measures, among others. These standard conditions will ensure the project will not be detrimental to adjacent properties, the surrounding area or neighborhood, or to the general welfare of the City.
B. Shadow studies document the project’s shadow angles and lengths at three times of the day during the summer and winter solstice. The studies show that the new buildings would not shade any nearby dwellings.
C. Although the proposed community center building will not comply with the required 20-foot rear setback, the proposed 16-foot rear setback will be greater than the existing setback of 11 feet 8 inches. The proposed buildings will comply with all other required setbacks.
D. The new community center will not result in obstruction of significant views in the neighborhood. This neighborhood is generally flat and developed with multi-story buildings that filter or obscure views that may be available from off-site view angles.
E. The existing oak and redwood trees near the community center will be retained, and minimal grading and drainage changes will be made to fit to the site contours.

The community center building will be sited to provide a secure area in the rear and side yards with minimal public access and activity and an adjacent patio area for gathering near the public street where noise will be less noticeable.
G. The restroom building will be sited and designed to address the need for restrooms in a public park, to meet operations needs for security and maintenance, and to minimize visual intrusion on the park experience and surrounding neighborhood.
3. Variance for Reduced Rear Setback. As required by BMC Section 23.406.050(A) and (F), the Council finds that the Variance from BMC Section 23.202.080(D) to allow a rear setback of 16 feet where 20 feet is required is appropriate because the strict application of development standards creates a unique hardship due to unusual circumstances associated with the property:
A. There are exceptional circumstances applying to the property which do not apply generally in the same district. The project site is unique in that it is relatively small for the number of uses at the site (2.72 acres, with a clubhouse, restroom, playground, and a large lawn). Furthermore, due to the unusual shape and size of the parcel, the yard dimensions required by the zoning ordinance are measured at odd points around the site. The site is a public park that provides open space and a community center, and contains several large, mature trees. The park is shared with the City and Willard Junior High School through a joint agreement. The community center and park is the site of a City of Berkeley after-school and summer day camp program for 45 children. The park is one of the few places in the area that provides City-owned public open space. There are several mature trees at the park, including a 36-inch Coast Live Oak tree. Per BMC Section 6.52.010 there is a moratorium on the removal of Coast Live Oaks. The need to preserve existing City trees, especially oak trees, and the need for public open space limits the location of the proposed community center.
B. The Variance is necessary to preserve a substantial property right. This publicly owned, operated, and maintained land presents unique requirements, opportunities and constraints not found in private development, thus the development of the project requires the balancing of the public interest with the strict adherence to development standards commonly applied to private development. The City of Berkeley has a substantial property right to maintain and upgrade its park facilities in order to meet demand. The new community center has been designed to provide more indoor space for after-school and summer day camp programs while also adhering to the other required setbacks and preventing negative impacts to on-site trees. The design of the park improvements is based on community meetings and focus group meetings with neighbors, parents, and Parks Department staff, in light of the view that parks are an important resource for everyone, and after-school and summer day camp programs are important to area families. The community center would be larger than the existing building so that more children may enroll in after-school and summer day camp programs and so that the function of the building is more conducive to modern needs including accessible all-gender restrooms, a small kitchen, and a secure administrative office. The proposed 4-foot reduction in the rear setback along one side of the new community center building allows for a building that meets the needs of all park users, without damaging or removing large trees, and by retaining other adjacent recreational open space and circulation paths to the maximum extent possible. Because the Project would be the only community center in Districts 7 and 8, it is appropriate to look at other community centers in the City as a whole as a comparison. Willard Park is zoned R-2.
2720 HILLEGASS AVENUE - USE PERMIT #ZP2022-0095 FINDINGS & CONDITIONS July 24, 2023 Page 4 of 16
File: \\cobnas11\g$\Departmental-Data\Planning\LANDUSE\Projects by Address\Hillegass\2720 Willard Club House Willard Park\ZP2022- 0095\Appeal\2023-07-25_CC_Att1_Findings and Conditions_2720 Hillegass.docx Berkeley has three other community centers: Frances Albrier Community Center, James Kenney Community Center, and Live Oak Community Center. Most analogous is Live Oak, which is zoned R-2H and was developed using a T-1 bond in 2020. It is 15,000 sq ft. Frances Albrier is zoned R-1 and is 21,300 sq ft. James Kenney is in R1-A and is 20,960 sq. ft. The proposed new Community Center is 3,301 sq ft, substantially less than these other community centers. Failure to allow the Applicant to renovate and expand the Willard Park clubhouse could deprive the City of a substantial property right to develop its land.
C. The Variance will not adversely affect the health or safety of persons residing or working near the property . The Variance would not modify the requirements of the California Building Code, Fire Code, and all other applicable laws, which the project would adhere to. The reduced rear setback for the community center would not induce any other impacts. Although the community center would increase in size, the functions of the building would remain essentially the same, and a modest increase in enrollment and usage would be accommodated by the local streets and sidewalks.
D. The Variance will not be materially detrimental to the public welfare or injurious to nearby property or improvements. The new clubhouse would be compatible in terms of building height and the quality of materials with other buildings in the immediate neighborhood and therefore would not be materially detrimental to the neighborhood in terms of views, light, or air impacts. The new clubhouse would not cast shadows onto nearby residences, and would be lower in height than area residences. Runoff would be controlled to remain on site and not cause erosion or other impacts to neighboring property.
E. The Variance will promote the municipal health, welfare, and safety and benefit the city as a whole.
4. Administrative Use Permit for Accessory Buildings. As required by BMC Section
23.304.060(C)(1) and (C)(2) and Section 23.406.030, the Council finds that construction of an accessory building and accessory structure for purposes of a public restroom and a trash enclosure is permissible because it:
A. Will not be detrimental to the health, safety, peace, morals, comfort, or general welfare of persons residing or working in the area or neighborhood of the proposed use because the new restroom will be located along a path near the tennis courts where it will serve the needs of the recreational users of the park including the playground and lawn area, while avoiding impacts to the existing trees and lawn, and the trash enclosure is located within the existing development envelope of the community center, will screen trash bins from view and secure them from public access, and will be designed to be consistent with the character of the site.
B. Will not be detrimental or injurious to property and improvements of the adjacent properties, the surrounding area or neighborhood or to the general welfare of the City because the restroom building would comply with the accessory building development standards and would be subject to maintenance and security measures as recommended by the Parks Department staff and Police Department, and the trash enclosure would be of a small scale and provide water quality control measures by being roofed and drained.
C. Will not be detrimental to the light, air, privacy, and view of adjacent properties because the enclosure will be set back from the street and adjacent properties and screened by existing and proposed landscaping, while providing a secure and well-designed location for trash and recycling that is separate from the community center building and that will be accessible for regular pick-up by collection vehicles.

The following conditions, as well as all other applicable provisions of the Zoning Ordinance, apply to this Permit:
1. Conditions Shall be Printed on Plans
The conditions of this Permit shall be printed on the second sheet of each plan set submitted for a building permit pursuant to this Use Permit, under the title ‘Use Permit Conditions.’ Additional sheets may also be used if the second sheet is not of sufficient size to list all of the conditions.
The sheet(s) containing the conditions shall be of the same size as those sheets containing the construction drawings; 8-1/2” by 11” sheets are not acceptable.
2. Compliance Required (BMC Section 23.102.050)
All land uses and structures in Berkeley must comply with the Zoning Ordinance and all applicable City ordinances and regulations. Compliance with the Zoning Ordinance does not relieve an applicant from requirements to comply with other federal, state, and City regulations that also apply to the property.
3. Approval Limited to Proposed Project and Replacement of Existing Uses (BMC Sections
23.404.060.B.1 and 2)
A. This Permit authorizes only the proposed project described in the application. In no way does an approval authorize other uses, structures or activities not included in the project description.
B. When the City approves a new use that replaces an existing use, any prior approval of the existing use becomes null and void when permits for the new use are exercised (e.g., building permit or business license issued). To reestablish the previously existing use, an applicant must obtain all permits required by the Zoning Ordinance for the use.
4. Conformance to Approved Plans (BMC Section 23.404.060.B.4) All work performed under an approved permit shall be in compliance with the approved plans and any conditions of approval.
5. Exercise and Expiration of Permits (BMC Section 23.404.060.C) A. A permit authorizing a land use is exercised when both a valid City business license is issued (if required) and the land use is established on the property.
B. A permit authorizing construction is exercised when both a valid City building permit (if required) is issued and construction has lawfully begun.
C. The Zoning Officer may declare a permit lapsed if it is not exercised within one year of its issuance, except if the applicant has applied for a building permit or has made a substantial good faith effort to obtain a building permit and begin construction. The Zoning Officer may declare a permit lapsed only after 14 days written notice to the applicant. A determination that a permit has lapsed may be appealed to the ZAB in accordance with Chapter 23.410 (Appeals and Certification).
D. A permit declared lapsed shall be void and of no further force and effect. To establish the use or structure authorized by the lapsed permit, an applicant must apply for and receive City approval of a new permit.

6. Permit Remains Effective for Vacant Property (BMC Section 23.404.060.D) Once a Permit for a use is exercised and the use is established, the permit authorizing the use remains effective even if the property becomes vacant.

27. Avoid Disturbance of Nesting Birds. Initial site disturbance activities, including vegetation and concrete removal, shall be prohibited during the general avian nesting season (February 1 to August 30), if feasible. If nesting season avoidance is not feasible, the applicant shall retain a qualified biologist to conduct a preconstruction nesting bird survey to determine the presence/absence, location, and activity status of any active nests on or adjacent to the project site. The extent of the survey buffer area surrounding the site shall be established by the qualified biologist to ensure that direct and indirect effects to nesting birds are avoided. To avoid the destruction of active nests and to protect the reproductive success of birds protected by the MBTA and CFGC, nesting bird surveys shall be performed not more than 14 days prior to scheduled vegetation and concrete removal. In the event that active nests are discovered, a suitable buffer (typically a minimum buffer of 50 feet for passerines and a minimum buffer of 250 feet for raptors) shall be established around such active nests and no construction shall be allowed inside the buffer areas until a qualified biologist has determined that the nest is no longer active (e.g., the nestlings have fledged and are no longer reliant on the nest). No ground- disturbing activities shall occur within this buffer until the qualified biologist has confirmed that breeding/nesting is completed and the young have fledged the nest. Nesting bird surveys are not required for construction activities occurring between August 31 and January 31.
28. Archaeological Resources (Ongoing throughout demolition, grading, and/or construction).
Pursuant to CEQA Guidelines section 15064.5(f), “provisions for historical or unique archaeological resources accidentally discovered during construction” should be instituted.
Therefore:
A. In the event that any prehistoric or historic subsurface cultural resources are discovered during ground disturbing activities, all work within 50 feet of the resources shall be halted and the project applicant and/or lead agency shall consult with a qualified archaeologist, historian or paleontologist to assess the significance of the find.
B. If any find is determined to be significant, representatives of the project proponent and/or lead agency and the qualified professional would meet to determine the appropriate avoidance measures or other appropriate measure, with the ultimate determination to be made by the City of Berkeley. All significant cultural materials recovered shall be subject to scientific analysis, professional museum curation, and/or a report prepared by the qualified professional according to current professional standards.
C. In considering any suggested measure proposed by the qualified professional, the project applicant shall determine whether avoidance is necessary or feasible in light of factors such as the uniqueness of the find, project design, costs, and other considerations.
D. If avoidance is unnecessary or infeasible, other appropriate measures (e.g., data recovery) shall be instituted. Work may proceed on other parts of the project site while mitigation measures for cultural resources is carried out.
E. If significant materials are recovered, the qualified professional shall prepare a report on the findings for submittal to the Northwest Information Center.
29. Human Remains (Ongoing throughout demolition, grading, and/or construction). In the event that human skeletal remains are uncovered at the project site during ground-disturbing activities, all work shall immediately halt and the Alameda County Coroner shall be contacted to evaluate

If the County Coroner determines that the remains are Native American, the City shall contact the California Native American Heritage Commission (NAHC), pursuant to subdivision (c) of Section 7050.5 of the Health and Safety Code, and all excavation and site preparation activities shall cease within a 50-foot radius of the find until appropriate arrangements are made. If the agencies determine that avoidance is not feasible, then an alternative plan shall be prepared with specific steps and timeframe required to resume construction activities. Monitoring, data recovery, determination of significance and avoidance measures (if applicable) shall be completed expeditiously.
30. Paleontological Resources (Ongoing throughout demolition, grading, and/or construction). In the event of an unanticipated discovery of a paleontological resource during construction, excavations within 50 feet of the find shall be temporarily halted or diverted until the discovery is examined by a qualified paleontologist (per Society of Vertebrate Paleontology standards [SVP 1995,1996]). The qualified paleontologist shall document the discovery as needed, evaluate the potential resource, and assess the significance of the find. The paleontologist shall notify the appropriate agencies to determine procedures that would be followed before construction is allowed to resume at the location of the find. If the City determines that avoidance is not feasible, the paleontologist shall prepare an excavation plan for mitigating the effect of the project on the qualities that make the resource important, and such plan shall be implemented.
The plan shall be submitted to the City for review and approval.
31. Halt Work/Unanticipated Discovery of Tribal Cultural Resources. In the event that cultural resources of Native American origin are identified during construction, all work within 50 feet of the discovery shall be redirected. The project applicant and project construction contractor shall notify the City Planning Department within 24 hours. The City will again contact any tribes who have requested consultation under AB 52, as well as contact a qualified archaeologist, to evaluate the resources and situation and provide recommendations. If it is determined that the resource is a tribal cultural resource and thus significant under CEQA, a mitigation plan shall be prepared and implemented in accordance with State guidelines and in consultation with Native American groups. If the resource cannot be avoided, additional measures to avoid or reduce impacts to the resource and to address tribal concerns may be required.
32. Stormwater Requirements. The applicant shall demonstrate compliance with the requirements of the City’s National Pollution Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) permit as described in BMC Section 17.20. The following conditions apply:

II. Project Setting
A. Neighborhood/Area Description: The project site is located east of Telegraph Avenue, and east of Willard Middle School . The area north, south, and east of Willard Park is residential, and consists predominantly of two- to three-story dwellings.
B. Site Conditions: The generally rectangular, 2. 7-acre p roject site is a corner lot, with frontages on Derby Street and Hillegass Avenue. The Willard Park tennis courts occupy the Regent Street right-of-way, and a path west of the tennis courts connects Derby Street to the Regent Street cul -de-sac behind Willard Middle School. The site is currently developed with a clubhouse and attached restrooms at the southeast corner of the lot , and a playground east of the tennis courts and north of the clubhouse. Much of the park
1 3,301 square-foot community center, 198 square-foot restroom building, 112 square-foot covered trash enclosure.
2 BMC Section 23.304.030(B)(1): For corner lots in the R-2 District with a rear lot line abutting a key lot, the minimum street side setback is half the front setback existing on the key lot. 3 Parking not required per AB-2097, effective January 1, 2023, which prohibits local jurisdictions from requiring minimum parking for most non-residential uses, including community centers.

is open space, with grass and mature trees. North of the clubhouse, along the Hillegass frontage, is a large oak tree. A large maple tree is east of the clubhouse and along Hillegass Avenue, and a large redwood tree is south of the clubhouse.
III. Project Description
The proposed project would involve the demolition of the existing clubhouse and restrooms, and the construction of a new larger clubhouse in the southeast corner of the lot. The new clubhouse would include two community rooms, which could be combined into one room, a kitchen, restrooms, and an office. A covered trash enclosure would be added at the southeast corner of the lot. There would be a terrace east of the clubhouse, and new bicycle racks would be added between the terrace and the maple tree. A new restroom building would be added north of the playground and east of the tennis courts.
While the project was being reviewed in 2022, off -street parking was required, and a variance was requested to provide zero parking spaces. The applicant hired a consultant to prepare a Transportation Study to determine the number of parking spaces that should be required. The consultant recommended that a temporary on- street loading zone be added to accommodate drop-off and pick-up of children. The applicant planned to expand the existing 24- foot loading zone on Hillegass Avenue by 36 feet, to create a 60-foot on- street loading zone near the clubhouse. In 2023, AB 2097 went into effect, and off -street parking is no longer required. Since parking is no longer required, Land Use Planning will not be requiring an on-street loading zone. Parks staff may work with Public Works staff to add an on-street loading zone in the future.
IV. Community Discussion
A. Neighbor/Community Concerns: Prior to submitting this application to the Land Use Planning Division, the applicant (Parks staff) invited members of the community, and owners and occupants within 1,000 feet of Willard Park, to five community meetings, held from 2019 through 2021, to re ceive presentations from staff and provide feedback. Meeting presentations, attendee lists, and Zoom chat logs are available on the Willard Clubhouse Project webpage (https://berkeleyca.gov/your-government/our- work/capital-projects/willard-clubhouse-project). The summary that outlines the pre- application contact was included with the initial submittal, and is included as Attachment 4. A pre-application poster was erected by the applicant in June 2022 .
While the application was being reviewed, staff received letters from the community concerned about the status of the project, noticing of the Z oning Adjustments Board (ZAB) meeting, and the demolition of the clubhouse. Land Use staff responded to questions and concerns about the Land Use process and ZAB, and Parks staff and the applicant team responded to questions and concerns in regards to the demolition of the clubhouse. Communications are included as Attachment 5. On April 13, 2023, the City mailed public hearing notices to property owners and occupants within 300 feet of the project site , and to interested neighborhood organizations , and the City posted notices within the neighborhood in three locations.

B. Design Review Committee Review: This project is not subject to review by the Design Review Committee because it is not located in a residential district that requires design review, or in a commercial or manufacturing district.
C. Landmarks Preservation Commission Review : The project involves demolition of a non- residential building over 40 years in age. Pursuant to BMC Section
23.326.070(C)(1), the proposed demolition w as brought before the Landmarks Preservation Commission (LPC) for review. A historic resources evaluation of the property (Rincon Consultant s, September, 20 21) concluded that the existing clubhouse did not meet the criteria for the California/National Register or a City of Berkeley Landmark. At the November 3, 2022, LPC Meeting, the LPC took no action to initiate the propert y for local register consideration (i.e. Landmark or Structure of Merit designation), but did vote to forward to ZAB the following recommendations:
(1) Salvage of the brass Frances Willard memorial plaque currently attached to the building and placement of it either on the new building, or elsewhere in the park; (2) Photo documentation of the existing building and its context in the park, with copies of the photographs deposited in local historical / architectural repositories; (3) Design the new clubhouse to serve in the same way as the existing club house as a low-key, perimeter and peripheral, built structure of the park, secondary to the open space, rather than a visually dominant building in the park (this recommendation does not presuppose or mandate any speci fic architectural ‘style’);
(4) Additionally, reflect the placement of the clubhouse to avoid intrusion of the new clubhouse building and its supporting spaces / structures into the large, informal, multi-purpose lawn area that is physically and conceptually “central” to the character of Willard Park;
(5) Design the new clubhouse to reflect the original in being a low-key “good neighbor”, both in physical form and in function, to adjacent residential structures and their residents;
(6) Incorporate interpretive panels in park renovations to document and share Willard Park’s history with the public (discussed on page 33 of the HRE). The interpretive panels should also incorporate information on more recent park design history and use beyond the 1960s/70s.
V. Issues and Analysis
A. Variance to Allow a Rear Setback of 16 Feet Where 20 Feet is Required: Pursuant to BMC Section 23.202.080(D), Table 23.202-6, R-2 Setback and Building Separation Standards, the required main building rear setback is 20 feet. The proposed main building would have a setback of 16 feet. The applicant considered several design iterations and feasibility alternatives and found it necessary to request a Variance to the strict application of the 20-foot rear setback.
Pursuant to BMC Section 23.406.050(F), the Board must make all required Variance Findings to approve a Variance. The applicant submitted their reasons for the variance ITEM 9

request i n support of the Findings . A summary of the Findings along with staff’s recommended conclusions follows.
Finding (a): “There are exceptional circumstances applying to the property which do not apply generally in the same district.”
The project site is unique in that it is the only City Park that serves Council District 7, and the clubhouse is the only community center for Council Districts 7 and 8. The park is shared with the City and Willard Junior High School through a joint agreement. The clubhouse and park i
s the site of a City of Berkeley after-school and summer day camp program for 45 children. The park is one of the few places in the area that provides City-owned public open space. It is 2.72 acres in size and features a clubhouse, restroom, playground, and a large lawn. There are several mature trees at the park, including a 36- inch Coast Live Oak tree. Per BMC Section 6.52.010 there is a moratorium on the removal of Coast Live Oaks. The need to preserve existing City trees, especially oak trees, and the need for public open space limits the location of the proposed community center. This Finding can be made.
Finding (b): “The Variance is necessary to preserve a substantial property right.”
The applicant, City of Berkeley Parks, Recreation, and Waterfront Department, has proposed a clubh
ouse that is larger than the existing clubhouse so that more children may enroll in after -school and summer day camp programs. Currently, the adjacent concrete patio and open lawn area are used by after school and summer day camp programs, in addition to the clubhouse. The existing clubhouse has a rear setback of
11.72 feet, and the proposed clubhouse would have a rear setback of 16 feet. The new community center has been designed to provide more space for after-school and summer day camp programs, while also adhering to the other required setbacks, and preventing negative impacts to City trees. Since the land is publicly owned the goals of the project are multi-faceted. Parks are important for everyone, and after-school and summer day camp programs are important to area families. The City is rapidly densifying, and public open spaces are needed. The proposed 16-foot setback allows for a building that meets the needs of all park users, without damaging or removing large trees. This Finding can be made.
Finding (c ): “The Variance will not adversely affect the health or safety of persons residing or working near the property.”
The Variance would not adversely affect the health or safety of persons residing or working near the property since the new building would adhere to all requirements of the California Building Code, and all other applicable laws . The new clubhouse will allow after-school and summer camp programming to take place indoors, which will be beneficial in inclement weather, including when the outdoor air quality is poor due to wildfires. This Finding can be made.

Finding (d): “The Variance will not be materially detrimental to the public welfare or injurious to nearby property or improvements”
The new clubhouse would be compatible in terms of building height and the quality of materials with other buildings in the immediate neighborhood and therefore would not be materially detrimental to the neighborhood in terms of views, light, or air impacts.
The new clubhouse would not
cast shadows onto nearby residences, and at one story
would be lower in height than area residences. This Finding can be made.
Finding (e): “The Variance will promote the municipal health, welfare, and safety and benefit the city as a whole.”
The 16-foot rear setback reduces the impact of the new building on the open lawn area. A 20-foot
setback would increase the encroachment of the new clubhouse into the open lawn area. The variance for the setback allows for a one- story building that can be used for a variety of programmatic needs, including childcare, and preserves open space and large trees. This Finding can be met.
Finding (f): “Any other Variance findings required by Zoning Ordinance can be made.”
This Finding is not applicable to the Variance request.
B. Demolition of Existing Non- Residential Building: The proposed project includes the demolition of the existing clubhouse and restroom on the site. Pursuant to BMC Section 23.326.070, the demolition of a non- residential building requires ZAB approval. In addition, pursuant to BMC Section 23.326.070(C), an application for a permit to demolish a non-residential building or structure which is 40 or more years old must be forwarded to the LPC for review prior to the consideration of the use permit.
As noted above in Section IV.C, at a duly noticed hearing, the LPC reviewed the demolition referral and took no action to initiate a local historic designation.
Pursuant to BMC 23.326.070(D), the demolition of the non- residential building would not be materially detrimental to the commercial and public interest of any affected neighborhood in the city. The new clubhouse would replace the existing 565 square foot clubhouse with a new 3,301 square-foot building for childcare and community use, and the new restroom building would replace the existing 114 square-foot restroom with a new 198 square-foot building near the tennis courts, a location that is preferred by staff and the community (based on surveys and public meetings) . Overall, demolition of the buildings would allow redevelopment of the park, while also meeting the needs of a variety of users, and preserving existing open space and trees.
Therefore, staff believes that ZAB can make the required finding that demolition would be necessary to allow construction of the proposed clubhouse, subject to the condition of approval allowing demolition of the existing buildings only after complete construction plans are submitted to the City for the replacement buildings.

C. New Accessory Building: The proposed project includes a request to add a new accessory building (the detached restroom) . Pursuant to BMC Section
23.304.060(C)(1) an Administrative Use Permit is required to add a new accessory building. An existing bench would be removed to add the new restroom near the tennis courts, but there would be no impacts to the existing trees and lawn. The building would comply with the accessory building development standards, and would have a right-side setback of 35 feet.
D. General Non-Detriment Finding: Pursuant to BMC Section 23.406.040(E)(1) ZAB must find that the project, would not be detrimental to the health, safety, peace, morals, comfort, and general welfare of the persons residing or visiting in the neighborhood of such proposed use, or be detrimental or injurious to property and improvements of the adjacent properties, the surrounding area or neighborhood, or to the general welfare of the City. The project is subject to the City’s standard conditions of approval regarding construction noise and air quality, waste diversion, toxics, and stormwater requirements as well as any other project specific conditions. These standard conditions would ensure that the project would satisfy this finding. An analysis of sunlight/shadows, air, and views for the new building follows:
Finding 1: Sunlight/Shadow: Shadow studies submitted by the applicant document the addition’s projected shadow angles and lengths at three times throughout the day during the summer and winter solstice. The studies show that the new building would not shade any nearby dwellings.
Finding 2: Air: The existing building has a rear setback of 11 feet 8 inches. The proposed building would not comply with the required 20-foot rear setback, but the proposed rear setback would be greater than the existing setback. The proposed clubhouse and restroom building would comply with all other required setbacks. Therefore, there would be minimal, if any, air impacts.
Finding 3: Views: The new building would not result in obstruction of significant views in the neighborhood as defined in BMC Section 23.502 (Glossary). This neighborhood is generally flat and developed with multi-story buildings that filter or obscure views that may be available of the Berkeley hills or the Golden Gate Bridge from off-site view angles.
E. General Plan Consistency: The 2002 General Pl an contains several policies applicable to the project, including the following:
1. Policy LU-7–Neighborhood Quality of Life, Action A: Require that new development be consistent with zoning standards and compatible with the scale, historic character, and surrounding uses in the area.
Staff Analysis: The project would add a clubhouse that has a larger footprint than the existing clubhouse, but is still one- story and located at the far corner of the park, which will maintain the existing public open space. The project would meet ITEM 9

zoning standards, except at the rear setback, but would still be compatible with the scale, historic character, and surrounding uses in the area, as the large open space area will be maintained.
2. Policy LU-13– Basic Goods and Services, Action C: Encourage a range of child- care facilities, including family child -care homes, public and private childcare centers, and recreation centers.
Staff Analysis: The proposed clubhouse will be larger than the existing clubhouse and would allow the City to enroll more children in after -school and summer day camp programs.
3. Policy UD-16–Context: The design and scale of new or remodeled buildings should respect the built environment in the area, particularly where the character of the built environment is largely defined by an aggregation of historically and architecturally significant buildings.
4. Policy UD- 24–Area Character : Regulate new construction and alterations to ensure that they are truly compatible with and, where feasible, reinforce the desirable design characteristics of the particular area they are in.
Staff Analysis: The design and scale of the new clubhouse would be compat ible with the existing residential environment, and would not impede on existing mature trees and open space.
