RESOLUTION NO. ##,###-N.S.

URGING PG&E TO UNDERGROUND BERKELEY’S VHFHSZ
WHEREAS, Pacific Gas and Electric (PG&E) states that undergrounding reduces ignitions by 99%, making it one of the most effective ways to reduce wildfire risk; and WHEREAS, Senate Bill 884 (McGuire), which became law in 2023, expedites the undergrounding of utility lines and allows use of federal infrastructure funds; and WHEREAS, PG&E has committed to protect communities from wildfire threat by undergrounding 10,000 miles of power lines in the Highest Fire Threat Districts; and WHEREAS, the Panoramic Hill neighborhood is in CAL FIRE’s Very High Fire Hazard Severity Zone and Berkeley’s Fire Department has designated it with the highest severity level in the City of Berkeley, Fire Zone 3; and WHEREAS, the North East Berkeley Hills also carry CAL Fire’s designation of Very High Fire Hazard Severity Zone and the 94708 ZIP Code, which encompasses most of the NE Hills, was designated as “being roughly within the worst 1% in the state when it comes to population-to-evacuation-route ratios” in 2019 by an AP News Analysis.

NOW THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the Council of the City of Berkeley urges PG&E to include the areas designated by CAL FIRE: Panoramic Hill neighborhood and the North East Berkeley Hills designated as Very High Fire Hazard Severity Zones, into its 10,000 miles of undergrounding in the Highest Fire Threat Districts.

BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the Council of the City of Berkeley requests the City Manager issue a press release about this Resolution as a critical Public Safety matter.

ACTION CALENDAR
January 30, 2024
To: Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council
From: Councilmember Humbert (Author), Councilmember Bartlett (Co-Author) Subject: Budget Referral: Additional Security Cameras at Intersections Experiencing Increased Violent Crime

RECOMMENDATION
In order to deter violent crime and obtain evidence to solve criminal investigations, adopt the following recommendations:

1. Authorize the City Manager to install additional security cameras, prominent signage, and increased lighting in the public right-of-way at intersections experiencing a rise in violent crime and/or which include arterial streets offering entry/exit points for Berkeley.

2. Refer costs for security cameras and lighting to the next budget process.

Security camera footage would be used solely for the purpose of solving criminal investigations. The cameras are not intended and would not be used for continuous surveillance purposes. Cameras should ideally be compatible with those already in use at San Pablo Park under Contract Nos. 31900080 and 31900205 and those deployed at other intersections throughout the city.

Priority intersections for security camera installation would include:

● Alcatraz and College
● Woolsey and Telegraph
● Woolsey and Shattuck
● Alcatraz and Adeline
● Alcatraz and Sacramento

FINANCIAL IMPLICATIONS
Estimated one-time costs to install cameras, signage and lighting are likely to range from $83,000 to $167,000 per intersection, plus $44,000 annually for data, software and maintenance. Total costs would vary based on the number of intersections selected.

Specifically, total one-time costs for prioritizing the five intersections recommended by the authors would be $415,000 to $835,000 plus ongoing data, software and maintenance costs of $220,000.

Budget Referral: Additional Security Cameras in Public Right of Way ACTION CALENDAR January 30. 2024

CURRENT SITUATION AND ITS EFFECTS
According to data from the Berkeley Police Department (BPD), 2023 saw 357 robberies in Berkeley, a 31 percent increase from 2022.1 A considerable number of these robberies targeted elderly victims with violent attacks, such as the one that took place in December 2023 near College and Alcatraz.2 In this particular case, a private security camera recorded the suspect subsequently stealing a car, and the footage proved instrumental in their later apprehension.3 Violent muggings of elders and women have also recently taken place in the vicinity of the Ashby BART station.

High-quality images of suspects and their vehicles would provide valuable investigative leads to assist efforts to bring accountability for violent gun crimes. Shootings often involve suspects who flee the area of the crime in their vehicles. Police investigating the crime often rely on private security cameras owned by residents and/or businesses to obtain video evidence. For these reasons, the City Council already approved funding for and installation of multiple security cameras across the city. Installing additional high- quality cameras at major arterials would expand access to video and allow investigators to check the footage for suspects fleeing the crime area in their vehicle.

Budget Referral: Additional Security Cameras in Public Right of Way ACTION CALENDAR January 30. 2024

Map showing 1-year of crime data in vicinity of southern District 8. (From BPD Transparency Hub) The City already urges private property owners with security cameras to register their cameras with BPD to assist in criminal investigations, and property owners readily avail themselves of this resource. According to the Department, as of 2021 a total of 283 security cameras owned by private citizens and businesses are currently registered with BPD. Valuable public safety resources should not be delegated entirely to the voluntary cooperation of private entities, particularly when violent gunfire has occurred in many public spaces including parks and major intersections.

Strategically placed cameras should be of sufficient quality to capture high resolution video. Cameras would not be equipped with Automated License Plate Readers (ALPR) and would not be continuously monitored. The recordings would be an investigative resource which officers could access while investigating specific crimes and could assist in a reduction of crime. This would be an additional element of our Police Department’s crime prevention strategies.
“Stationary security cameras affixed to City property or facilities” are not regulated under the Surveillance Technology Ordinance (BMC Section 2.99.020.1.i). As a result, stationary camera installation at major thoroughfares would be exempt from the requirements of BMC Chapter 2.99.

Providing security cameras in the public right-of-way is a Strategic Plan Priority Project, advancing our goal to create a resilient, safe, connected, and prepared city.

Budget Referral: Additional Security Cameras in Public Right of Way ACTION CALENDAR January 30. 2024

BACKGROUND
A 2011 report4 from The Urban Institute’s Justice Policy Center noted that cameras can be an effective tool for preventing crimes and supporting investigations. These tools appear fiscally prudent both as tools for investigations, and with the installation and maintenance of security cameras being less costly than the costs associated with crimes that may take place without them. Moreover, an experiment conducted at the University of Twente in the Netherlands finds evidence that the presence of security cameras can encourage “prosocial” and “helping behavior” among bystanders.5 Berkeley’s Police Department has been conducting Crime Prevention Through Environmental Design (CPTED) assessments for neighborhoods throughout the City over the past several years. These assessments include recommendations such as:
increased lighting, maintenance of properties, landscaping and signage that can be used to deter criminal behavior.

ENVIRONMENTAL SUSTAINABILITY AND CLIMATE IMPACTS
None.

INFORMATION CALENDAR
January 30, 2024
To: Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council
From: Dee Williams-Ridley, City Manager
Submitted by: Jordan Klein, Director, Planning and Development Department Subject: LPO NOD: 2119 Marin Avenue, #LMSAP2023-0003

INTRODUCTION
The attached Landmarks Preservation Commission Notice of Decision (NOD) is presented to the Mayor and City Council pursuant to Berkeley Municipal Code/Landmarks Preservation Ordinance (BMC/LPO) Section 3.24.240.A, which requires that “a copy of the Notice of Decision shall be filed with the City Clerk and the City Clerk shall present said copy to the City Council at its next regular meeting.”

CURRENT SITUATION AND ITS EFFECTS
The Landmark Preservation Commission (LPC/Commission) approved a Structural Alteration Permit (SAP) to make alterations to the subject City Structure of Merit property. This action is subject to a 15-day appeal period, which began on January 16, 2024.

BACKGROUND
BMC/LPO Section 3.24.300 allows City Council to review any action of the Landmarks Preservation Commission in granting or denying a Structural Alteration Permit. For Council to review the decision on its merits, Council must appeal the NOD. To do so, a Council member must move this Information Item to Action and then move to set the matter for hearing on its own. Such action must be taken within 15 days of the mailing of the Notice of Decision, or by January 30, 2024. Such certification to Council shall stay all proceedings in the same manner as the filing of an appeal.

If the Council chooses to appeal the action of the Commission, then a public hearing will be set. The Council must then rule on the designation within 30 days of closing the hearing, otherwise the decision of the Commission is automatically deemed affirmed.

Unless the Council wishes to review the determination of the Commission and make its own decision, the attached NOD is deemed received and filed.

LPC NOD: 2119 Marin Avenue/#LMSAP2023-0003 INFORMATION CALENDAR January 30, 2024

ENVIRONMENTAL SUSTAINABILITY & CLIMATE IMPACTS
Landmark designation provides opportunities for the adaptive re-use and rehabilitation of historic resources within the City. The rehabilitation of these resources, rather than their removal, achieves construction and demolition waste diversion, and promotes investment in existing urban centers.

POSSIBLE FUTURE ACTION
The Council may choose to certify or appeal the decision, setting the matter for public hearing at a future date.

FISCAL IMPACTS OF POSSIBLE FUTURE ACTION
There are no known fiscal impacts associated with this action.

Structural Alteration Permit #LMSAP2023-0003 to complete exterior façade and roof alterations to a City Structure of Merit property.

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 153331 of the CEQA Guidelines (“Historic Resource Restoration/Rehabilitation”). 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, (b) there are no cumulative impacts, (c) there are no significant effects, (d) the project is not located near a scenic highway, and (e) the project site is not located on a hazardous waste site pursuant to Government Code Section 65962.5.

SECRETARY OF THE INTERIOR’S STANDARDS FINDINGS
Regarding the Secretary of the Interior’s Standards for Rehabilitation, the Landmarks Preservation Commission of the City of Berkeley makes the following findings:

1. The subject property features a single-family residence designed by Walter H. Ratcliff, Jr. The use of the property would continue, unchanged, with this project.

2. As conditioned, the project will retain the historic character of the property and will avoid extensive removal of distinctive materials and the alteration of features that characterize the property.

3. This property will continue to be recognized as a physical record of its time, place, and use as a result of the approved project. None of the proposed alterations are found to create a false sense of historical development.

4. No changes to this property that have acquired historic significance in their own right, would be impacted by this project. The majority of alterations are located on the rear elevation at the area of the 1978 addition, which is not considered to have acquired historic significance.

2119 MARIN AVENUE STRUCTURAL ALTERATION PERMIT - Findings and Conditions

5. Distinctive materials, features, finishes, and construction techniques, or examples of craftsmanship that characterize this property, such as the exterior wood shingles and lap siding of the main building, will be preserved and refurbished where possible with this project, and only replaced in-kind where preservation is not physically feasible.

6. As conditioned herein, if deteriorated historic features will be affected by this request, then they would be repaired or replaced to match the materials, design, and finishes of the original items.

7. Chemical or physical treatments are not anticipated; however, if they are appropriate, they will be undertaken using the gentlest means possible. Treatments that cause damage to historic materials are prohibited by the Conditions herein.

8. The project site is not known to have the potential to yield subsurface resources; the scope of proposed excavation is limited and not likely to disturb such resources if they exist. Nevertheless, as conditioned herein, actions to preserve and protect unexpected discoveries during project construction are required

9. Since the proposed new work does not involve a new addition and relates to changes to the facades of the existing structure, the work has been designed in a manner to increase compatibility with the historic structure. The project utilizes complementary, high-quality materials employing colors and finishes that harmonize with the historic design elements of the building. New siding at the area of the 1978 (non-historic) addition will be sufficiently differentiated from the historic siding design.

10. If the proposed façade alterations, re-roofing, or painting were to be removed or reversed in the future, the essential form and integrity of the historic property and its environment would be unimpaired.

2119 MARIN AVENUE STRUCTURAL ALTERATION PERMIT - Findings and Conditions

LANDMARK PRESERVATION ORDINANCE FINDINGS

1. As required by Section 3.24.260 of the Landmarks Preservation Ordinance, the Commission finds that the proposed work is appropriate for and consistent with the purposes of the Ordinance, and will preserve and enhance the characteristics and features specified in the designation for this property, because:

A. The proposed project will not adversely affect the architectural design of the City Structure of Merit Laflin House because the scope of work is limited to minor alteration such as enlargement of windows that are similar to and compatible with the Shingle style of the residence. The placement and spatial arrangements of the property will be retained as the proposed façade and roofing material alterations do not impact the footprint and volume of the historic structure. As conditioned, the removal of historic materials, such as original windows and exterior cladding materials, will be minimized to the greatest extent possible.

B. The special character and historic value of this City Structure of Merit property lay in its direct associations with the notable architect Walter H. Ratcliff, Jr., Shingle-style architecture, and as a contemporary of nearby City Landmarks (Elmer Buckman House, 1910, and Northbrae Public Improvements, 1907). The proposed work would not impair these associations.

STANDARD CONDITIONS
The following conditions, as well as all other applicable provisions of the Landmarks Preservation 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 Permit, under the title ‘Structural Alteration 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. Plans and Representations Become Conditions
Except as specified herein, the site plan, floor plans, building elevations and/or any additional information or representations, whether oral or written, indicating the proposed structure or manner of operation submitted with an application or during the approval process are deemed conditions of approval.

3. Subject to All Applicable Laws and Regulations
The approved construction is subject to, and shall comply with, all applicable City Ordinances and laws and regulations of other governmental agencies. Prior to installation, the applicant shall obtain Use Permit approval in accordance with BMC Section 23C.17 (Wireless Telecommunication). Prior to construction, the applicant shall identify and secure all applicable permits from the Building and Safety Division, Public Works Department and other affected City divisions and departments.

4. Exercise and Lapse of Permits
B. A permit for the construction of a building or structure is deemed exercised when a valid City building permit, if required, is issued, and construction has lawfully commenced.

A. A permit may be declared lapsed and of no further force and effect if it is not exercised within one year of its issuance, except that permits for construction or alteration of structures or buildings may not be declared lapsed if the permittee has:
(1) applied for a building permit; or, (2) made substantial good faith efforts to obtain a building permit and begin construction, even if a building permit has not been issued and/or construction has not begun.

5. Indemnification Agreement
The permittee agrees as a condition of approval of this application to indemnify, protect, defend with counsel selected by the City, and hold harmless, the City, and any agency or instrumentality thereof, and its elected and appointed officials, officers, employees and agents, from and against any and all liabilities, claims, actions, causes of action,

2119 MARIN AVENUE STRUCTURAL ALTERATION PERMIT - Findings and Conditions

proceedings, suits, damages, judgments, liens, levies, costs and expenses of whatever nature, including reasonable attorney’s fees and disbursements (collectively, “Claims”) arising out of or in any way relating to the approval of this application, any actions taken by the City related to this entitlement, or any environmental review conducted under the California Environmental Quality Act, Public Resources Code Section 210000 et seq., for this entitlement and related actions. The indemnification shall include any Claims that may be asserted by any person or entity, including the permittee, arising out of or in connection with the approval of this application, whether or not there is concurrent, passive or active negligence on the part of the City, and any agency or instrumentality thereof, and its elected and appointed officials, officers, employees and agents. The permittee’s duty to defend the City shall not apply in those instances when the permittee has asserted the Claims, although the permittee shall still have a duty to indemnify, protect and hold harmless the City.

6. 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.

7. 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.

2119 MARIN AVENUE STRUCTURAL ALTERATION PERMIT - Findings and Conditions

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.

8. 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 the remains, and following the procedures and protocols pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Section 15064.5 (e)(1) . If the County Coroner determines that the remains are Native American, the City shall contact the California Native American Heritage Commission (NAHC), pursuant to Health and Safety Code Section 7050.5(c), 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.

9. 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.

Interior remodel of the kitchen, breakfast area, office nook, powder room, primary bed/bath suite, and secondary bathroom. Exterior work comprises a reconfiguration of window locations on north elevation on the main and upper levels; the addition of a window and the relocation of a window at the basement level on the north elevation; the addition of two skylights on the roof; and the replacement of a bedroom window on the east elevation. Exterior changes to historic characteristic features are limited to two windows on the west elevation, which will be enlarged but retain the same center post, and one window on the south elevation, which will be moved to be centered on the dormer ridgeline and reduced by 4” in height by raising the sill to coordinate with the adjacent roof. Exterior finishes will be replaced in-kind where damage has occurred.

10.5.2023 Structural Alterations KF/AJ

Materials storage & spill cleanup
Non-hazardous materials management
4 Sand, dirt, and similar materials must be stored at least 10 feet from catch basins, and covered with a tarp during wet weather or when rain is forecast. 4 Use (but don’t overuse) reclaimed water for dust control as needed. 4 Sweep streets and other paved areas daily. Do not wash down streets or work areas with water!
4 Recycle all asphalt, concrete, and aggregate base material from demolition activities.
4 Check dumpsters regularly for leaks and to make sure they don’t overflow.

Repair or replace leaking dumpsters promptly.

Hazardous materials management
4 Label all hazardous materials and hazardous wastes (such as pesticides, paints, thinners, solvents, fuel, oil, and antifreeze) in accordance with city, state, and federal regulations.
4 Store hazardous materials and wastes in secondary containment and cover them during wet weather.
4 Follow manufacturer’s application instructions for hazardous materials and be careful not to use more than necessary. Do not apply chemicals outdoors when rain is forecast within 24 hours.
4 Be sure to arrange for appropriate disposal of all hazardous wastes.

Spill prevention and control
4 Keep a stockpile of spill cleanup materials (rags, absorbents, etc. ) available at the construction site at all times.
4 When spills or leaks occur, contain them immediately and be particularly care- ful to prevent leaks and spills from reaching the gutter, street, or storm drain.

Never wash spilled material into a gutter, street, storm drain, or creek! 4 Report any hazardous materials spills immediately! Dial 911 or your local emer- gency response number.

Vehicle and equipment
maintenance & cleaning
4 Inspect vehicles and equipment for leaks
frequently. Use drip pans to catch leaks
until repairs are made; repair leaks
promptly.
4 Fuel and maintain vehicles on site only
in a bermed area or over a drip pan that
is big enough to prevent runoff.
4 If you must clean vehicles or equipment
on site, clean with water only in a
bermed area that will not allow
rinsewater to run into gutters, streets,
storm drains, or creeks.
4 Do not clean vehicles or equipment
on-site using soaps, solvents, degreasers,
steam cleaning equipment, etc.

Dewatering
operations
4 Reuse water for dust control, irrigation,
or another on-site purpose to the greatest
extent possible.
4 Be sure to call your city’s storm drain
inspector before discharging water to a
street, gutter, or storm drain. Filtration or diversion through a basin, tank, or sediment trap may be required.
4 In areas of known contamination, testing is required prior to reuse or discharge of groundwater. Consult with the city inspector to determine what testing to do and to interpret results. Contaminated groundwater must be treated or hauled off-site for proper disposal.

Concrete, grout, and mortar
storage & waste disposal
4 Be sure to store concrete, grout, and mortar under cover and away from drainage areas. These materials must never reach a storm drain.
4 Wash out concrete equipment/trucks off-site or designate an on-site area for washing where water will flow onto dirt or into a temporary pit in a dirt area. Let the water seep into the soil and dispose of hardened concrete with trash.

Make sure your crews and subs do the job right!
Storm drain polluters may be liable for fines of $10,000 or more per day! Runoff from streets and other paved areas is a major source of pollution in San Francisco Bay. Construction activities can directly affect the health of the Bay unless contractors and crews plan ahead to keep dirt, debris, and other construction waste away from storm drains and local creeks. Following these guidelines will ensure your compliance with local ordinance requirements.
4 Divert water from washing
exposed aggregate concrete
to a dirt area where it will
not run into a gutter, street,
or storm drain.
4 If a suitable dirt area is not
available, collect the wash
water and remove it for
appropriate disposal off site.

Earthwork & contaminated soils
4 Keep excavated soil on the site where it is least likely to collect in the street.

Transfer to dump trucks should take place on the site, not in the street. 4 Use fiber rolls, silt fences, or other control measures to minimize the flow of silt off the site.

Paving/asphalt work
Saw cutting
4 Always completely cover or barricade storm drain inlets when saw cutting. Use filter fabric, catch basin inlet filters, or sand/gravel bags to keep slurry out of the storm drain system.
4 Shovel, absorb, or vacuum saw-cut slurry and pick up all waste as soon as you are finished in one location or at the end of each work day (whichever is sooner!).
4 If saw cut slurry enters a catch basin, clean it up immediately. 4 Do not pave during wet weather or when
rain is forecast.
4 Always cover storm drain inlets and man-
holes when paving or applying seal coat,
tack coat, slurry seal, or fog seal.
4 Place drip pans or absorbent material un-
der paving equipment when not in use.
4 Protect gutters, ditches, and drainage
courses with sand/gravel bags, or earthen
berms.
4 Do not sweep or wash down excess sand
from sand sealing into gutters, storm drains, or creeks. Collect sand and return it to the stockpile, or dispose of it as trash.
4 Do not use water to wash down fresh asphalt concrete pavement.

Painting
4 Never rinse paint brushes or
materials in a gutter or street!
4 Paint out excess water-based
paint before rinsing brushes,
rollers, or containers in a sink.

If you can’t use a sink, direct
wash water to a dirt area and
spade it in.
4 Paint out excess oil-based paint before cleaning brushes in thinner. 4 Filter paint thinners and solvents for reuse whenever possible.

Dispose of oil-based paint sludge and unusable thinner as hazardous waste.
4 Avoid scheduling earth moving activities
during the rainy season if possible. If
grading activities during wet weather
are allowed in your permit, be sure to
implement all control measures necessary
to prevent erosion.
4 Mature vegetation is the best form of
erosion control. Minimize disturbance to
existing vegetation whenever possible.
4 If you disturb a slope during construction,
prevent erosion by securing the soil with
erosion control fabric, or seed with fast-
growing grasses as soon as possible. Place
fiber rolls down-slope until soil is secure.
4 If you suspect contamination (from site history, discoloration, odor, texture, abandoned underground tanks or pipes, or buried debris), call the Regional Water Quality Control Board or local hazardous waste management agency for help in determining what testing should be done, and manage disposal of contaminated soil according to their instructions.

1. Additional information regarding composition shingle selection:
in order to address the Mills Act work plan to provide new "composition roof shingles visually similar to original/early wood roof shingles, including ridgeline and hipline shingles, ” the selected comp. shingle product was chosen to provide for the serrated roof ridge and hip profile associated with wood shingle.

Based on historic photos, the original roof was straight-cut wood shingles, not shakes, and which were first replaced with comp. shingles in 1958.

2. Additional information regarding windows: all new double hung windows will be detailed to match the historic windows. They will have the same sash member dimensions, same casing detail, with lugs at the double hung condition. The new windows at the 1978 addition will be detailed similarly, but without lugs, as those are not double hung (see elevation 4). See elevations for dimensions for each opening.

INFORMATION CALENDAR
January 30, 2024
To: Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council
From: Dee Williams-Ridley, City Manager
Submitted by: Jordan Klein, Director, Planning and Development Department Subject: LPO NOD: 910 Indian Rock Avenue, #LMIN2023-0002

INTRODUCTION
The attached Notice of Decision (NOD) for the Landmarks Designation is presented to the Mayor and City Council pursuant to Berkeley Municipal Code/Landmarks Preservation Ordinance (BMC/LPO) Section 3.24.160, which requires that “a copy of the Notice of Decision shall be filed with the City Clerk and the City Clerk shall present said copy to the City Council at its next regular meeting.”

CURRENT SITUATION AND ITS EFFECTS
The Landmark Preservation Commission (LPC/Commission) has disapproved the request to designate the subject property as a City Landmark or Structure of Merit. This action is subject to a 15-day appeal period, which began on January 16, 2024.

BACKGROUND
BMC/LPO Section 3.24.190 allows the Council to review any action of the Commission in granting or denying Landmark, Structure of Merit or Historic District status. In order for Council to review the decision on its merits, Council must appeal the NOD. To do so, a Councilmember must move this Information Item to Action and then move to “certify” the decision. Such action must be taken within 15 days from the mailing of the NOD or by January 30, 2024. Such certification to Council shall stay all proceedings in the same manner as the filing of an appeal.

If the Council chooses to appeal the action of the Commission, then a public hearing will be set within 25 days pursuant to BMC/LPO Section 3.24.300. The Council must then rule on the designation within 30 days from the date that the public hearing is opened or the decision of the Commission is automatically deemed affirmed.

Unless the Council wishes to review the determination of the Commission and make its own decision, the attached NOD is deemed received and filed.

LPO NOD: 910 Indian Rock Avenue/#LMIN2023-0002 INFORMATION CALENDAR January 30, 2024

LPC Hearing – Decision to Deny Designation Status
At the October 5, 2023 LPC meeting, the Commission members voted 6-1-0-1 to disapprove the request by petitioners to designate the single-family residence at 910 Indian Rock as a Structure of Merit. [Vote: Yes: Crandall, Enchill, Leuschner, Montgomery; Schwartz, Twu; No: Finacom; Abstain; none; Absent: Linvill (due to recusal)]. Those in favor of the action found that the structure was not worthy of designation status as an individual property or example of the residential work of Berkeley Master architect Walter H. Ratcliff, Jr. This finding was largely based on the lack of exceptional design quality in comparison to other Ratcliff works, and a request from the property owner to deny the petition because they intend to retain and expand the residence rather than demolishing it per a previous plan. Some of the petitioners also spoke during the hearing and encouraged the Commission to deny Landmark status as they no longer considered the property to be in danger of destruction.

ENVIRONMENTAL SUSTAINABILITY & CLIMATE IMPACTS
Landmark designation provides opportunities for the adaptive re-use and rehabilitation of historic resources within the City. The rehabilitation of these resources, rather than their removal, achieves construction and demolition waste diversion, and promotes investment in existing urban centers.

POSSIBLE FUTURE ACTION
The Council may choose to certify or appeal the decision to disapprove designation status, setting the matter for public hearing at a future date.

FISCAL IMPACTS OF POSSIBLE FUTURE ACTION
There are no known fiscal impacts associated with this designation action.

ZONING DISTRICT: Single Family-Residential (R-1) District, Hillside Overlay (H) ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW STATUS: Categorically exempt under the California Environmental Quality Act Guidelines, Section 15061(b)(4) for projects that are disapproved. 1 Pursuant to BMC Chapter 3.24, the City Council may “certify” any decision of the LPC for review, which has the same effect as an appeal. In most cases, the Council must certify the LPC decision during the 14-day appeal period. However, pursuant to BMC Section 1.04.070, if any portion of the appeal period falls within a Council recess, the deadline for Council certification is suspended until the first Council meeting after the recess, plus the number of days of the appeal period that occurred during the recess, minus one day. If there is no appeal or certification, the Use Permit becomes effective the day after the certification deadline has passed.
