SUBJECT: Refer to the City Manager to include in the Community Survey a Poll Question about Increasing Sales Tax in the City of Berkeley

RECOMMENDATION
Refer to the City Manager to include in the upcoming community survey for the November 2026 election a question about increasing the sales tax in the City of Berkeley from 10.25 percent to the maximum of 10.75 percent to help address the City’s projected budget deficit of $27 million.

CURRENT SITUATION AND ITS EFFECTS
Currently, the total sales tax rate in the City is 10.25 percent and consists of a combination of state, county, and special district sales tax rates as follows:
● State of California: 6.00%
● Alameda County: 0.25%
● District/Special: 4.00%
● City of Berkeley: 0%
According to our Finance Director Henry Oyekanmi, if Berkeley were to raise its tax rate from 10.25 percent to 10.75 percent, as many other cities in Alameda County have already done, the City would see additional annual sales tax revenue anywhere from $9.3 million (on the conservative end) to as much as $10.3 million–the more likely figure. This additional revenue could be used for general fund purposes, such as retaining staff in our Police and Fire Departments.

Currently, eight cities in Alameda County have a tax rate higher than Berkeley’s

10.25 percent, as shown in Exhibit 1 below.

Exhibit 1: Alameda County Cities with a Higher Sales Tax Rate Than Berkeley City Sales Tax Rate
City of Alameda 10.75%
City of Albany 10.75%
City of Emeryville 10.50%
City of Hayward 10.75%
City of Newark 10.75%
City of Oakland 10.75%
City of San Leandro 10.75%
City of Union City 10.75%

BACKGROUND
During the April 24, 2025 Budget and Finance Committee, City staff gave a presentation and reported on a projected General Fund deficit of roughly $27 million for the upcoming fiscal year.2 Since that time, the City Council has had several discussions related to the City’s fiscal condition. On June 17, 2025 and September 30, 2025, the City Council referred to the City Manager items to assess the potential for a 2026 ballot measure to help fund capital improvements to our Fire Department facilities and improvements to our recreation and community facilities3 that would address the City’s infrastructure needs. During the December 2, 2025 City Council meeting, the Council provided input and direction to staff on project priorities for a 1 California Department of Tax and Fee Administration: California Sales and Use Tax Rates by City and County, updated as of January 1, 2026: https://cdtfa.ca.gov/formspubs/cdtfa95.pdf 2 April 24, 2025 Budget and Finance Committee, presentation on FY Mid-Biennial Update Preliminary Budget Status: https://berkeleyca.gov/sites/default/files/legislative-body-meeting-attachments/2025- 04-24%20Item%2002%20Presentation%20Preliminary%20FY26%20MB%20Update.pdf 3 June 17, 2025 City Council agenda item #28: “Fire Facility Revenue Measures”:

potential revenue measure in preparation for a community survey to gauge residents’ interest in such a bond measure.4

RATIONALE FOR RECOMMENDATION
This referral is requesting questions be added to the upcoming community survey related to raising the City’s sales tax as a way of increasing revenue to partially address the City’s significant projected budget deficit. Understanding residents’ interest in a potential sales tax increase will provide needed direction for City Council.

FISCAL IMPACT
The fiscal impact of the referral is minimal and would include only staff time. The community survey has been approved and the City Manager’s office is already in the process of soliciting proposals from qualified firms to execute the survey. This referral is requesting additional questions be added that would gauge residents’ interest in raising the City’s sales tax. The impact of the additional revenue, were a sales tax increase approved by the voters during the November 2026 election, is considerable, as noted above.

ENVIRONMENTAL SUSTAINABILITY
This referral has no significant impact on environmental sustainability.

Section 25P by adding a subsection to implement Residential Preferential Parking (RPP) on the north side of Cedar Street, between McGee Avenue and Edith Street (1701-1721 Cedar Street) in RPP Area E.

FISCAL IMPACTS OF RECOMMENDATION
Implementing RPP on this block would require installation of two signs, costing the City approximately $730, including labor.

CURRENT SITUATION AND ITS EFFECTS
Residents of 1701-1721 Cedar Street have submitted a petition to join the RPP Program in RPP Area E. As shown in Attachment 3, the block requesting to opt into the RPP Program is the north side of Cedar Street between McGee Avenue and Edith Street.

In accordance with Berkeley Municipal Code (BMC) Section 14.72.050(A)(1), staff verified that residents submitted signatures on a qualifying petition representing a numerical majority of residentially zoned parcels wishing to “opt-in” to the RPP Program for the street section listed above and in the attached Resolution. Staff verified that at least 75% of the curb parking spaces were occupied during either mid-morning or mid- afternoon observation periods at the location.

The addition of the north side of one block in Area E should have a minimal impact on enforcement capabilities, as RPP restrictions are already in place on the block of Cedar to the east. Each new addition to the RPP Program, however, tends to result in slightly diminished enforcement for all other existing permit areas, due to parking enforcement officers having slightly larger areas to patrol.

Implement Residential Preferential Parking (RPP) Program on the PUBLIC HEARING 1500 Block of Virginia Street January 27, 2026

BACKGROUND
The RPP Program was instituted in 1980 to:
 Protect Berkeley residential neighborhoods from an influx of non-resident vehicles and related traffic;
 To assure continued quality of life for residents; and  To provide neighborhood parking for residents.

In most areas, the Program limits parking for vehicles not displaying an RPP permit to two hours, and reserves available daytime parking for residents, from 8:00 a.m.-7:00 p.m. Monday through Friday, and on some blocks, Saturday.

The RPP Program allows residents within RPP Program boundaries to petition the City to “opt-in” or “opt-out” of the Program. The process to install RPP controls requires submittal of a petition signed by residents (including tenants of rental properties) of at least 51% of dwellings sited along the affected block, and a parking survey of those blocks that shows at least 75% of available on-street parking spaces are occupied during the mid-morning and mid-afternoon time periods.

The RPP Program is in alignment with Strategic Plan Priorities, advancing our goal to be a customer-focused organization that provides excellent, timely, easily accessible service and information to the community.

ENVIRONMENTAL SUSTAINABILITY AND CLIMATE IMPACTS
Expansion of the RPP Program to include additional blocks is expected to have minimal net environmental impact. While RPP controls may discourage some non-residents from driving to certain blocks to park, they also make parking more convenient for elderly and/or disabled residents.

RATIONALE FOR RECOMMENDATION
Households on the subject block overwhelmingly support including the north side of Cedar Street between McGee Avenue and Edith Street in the RPP Program. Further, residents have met all requirements as set forth in BMC Section 14.72.050(A)(1) to opt this block into the RPP Program.

ALTERNATIVE ACTIONS CONSIDERED
Council may allow unrestricted parking to remain on these streets. However, Council has previously approved the “opting in” of blocks where the requisite number of households signed a petition requesting RPP control, and where the parking utilization exceeds 75%.

PUBLIC HEARING
January 27, 2026
To: Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council
From: Paul Buddenhagen, City Manager
Submitted by: Scott Ferris, Director, Parks Recreation and Waterfront Subject: Selected Marina Fee Increases

RECOMMENDATION
Conduct a public hearing and upon conclusion, adopt a Resolution approving new fees and increasing current fees for select Marina fees; and rescinding Resolution No. 71,840-N.S. and all amendatory resolutions.

FISCAL IMPACTS OF RECOMMENDATION
The cumulative impact of these fee increases is estimated to add $247,500 in annual revenue to the Marina Fund (Fund 608), which supports Waterfront operations including the Marina, facilities, roads, recreation programs and special events, (see Table 1).

These increases are needed to offset the costs of providing these services and to help ensure the long-term financial sustainability of the Waterfront. As discussed at the Council Budget & Finance Policy Committee meeting on October 28, 2025, the Marina Fund has had operating deficits for several years, and the Council has had to address these shortfalls with a variety of General Fund balancing measures.1 The Marina Fund was buoyed by the passage of the 2024 Parks Tax increase, which shifted more than $1.5M in costs for Waterfront parks and landscaped areas off the Marina Fund.

However, the weak recovery of the regional hotel market since COVID has created significant uncertainty for the Marina Fund’s single largest revenue source, the Doubletree Hotel.

These fee increases are needed as one part of the City’s strategy to balance the Marina Fund in the next budget cycle. Other measures include Waterfront recreation fee increases2, revenue from updated Waterfront leases, and increased berth occupancy at the Marina. If these fees are not adopted, the Marina Fund is likely to generate deficits which will either require additional reductions to address any shortfall or additional General Fund subsidy which may not be feasible given the projected fiscal constraints of the General Fund.

Liveaboard $27,000
Launch Ramp fees $10,000
Waterfront Parking Passes $19,500
TOTAL $247,500

CURRENT SITUATION AND ITS EFFECTS
On June 24, 2025, Council adopted an updated Marina fee (Resolution No. 71,840- N.S.). The City regularly reviews all Marina fees in an effort to keep facilities and infrastructure accessible to the public while accounting for increased costs to deliver those services.  Proposed fee changes described below are proposed to go into effect January 28, 2026, unless otherwise noted.
 Berth Fees are the monthly slip fee for slipholders with a permit to berth. Fees are proposed to increase by 3% for each of the next two years: a 3% increase in FY27, and a 3% increase in FY28. This is to better recover operational costs, while staying competitive with the local market for slips, (see Tables 2 and 3).

 Power Surcharge: All slip holders on unmetered slips (slips that are not separately metered for power by Pacific Gas and Electric Company) currently pay an additional 0-12% on top of their monthly dockage to partially offset the costs of the electric bills paid by the City for various docks. This fee would add an additional 40% per month to the existing power surcharges for unmetered slips to offset the cost of power.

Slipholders with unmetered power have not been subject to a power fee increase since 2015. This fee would account for a portion of the increased cost of power paid for by the Marina for these unmetered slips. Since the time this fee was established, power costs for the Marina have increased by over 100%. Raising the fee by this much would cause a significant increase to slip fees for unmetered slips, so a 40% increase is being proposed, (see Table 4).

 Liveaboard Fees are applied to permits for cruising vessels used as a residence, and thirteen floating homes in the Berkeley Marina. This fee is proposed to increase from $220/month to $270/month. This liveaboard fee increase is in place to offset staff costs of administering this permit, including the liveaboard waitlist. The fee also offsets the additional usage of Marina facilities by a full-time resident at an otherwise recreational facility. Even with the proposed fee increase, Berkeley’s fees are the lowest among neighboring marinas, (see Table 5).

 Launch ramp fees are charged for access to the Marina launch ramp and parking lot. The fees are proposed to increase from $17 to $20/day; from $95 to $120/month; and $310 to $400 for a seasonal pass. This fee has not been increased since 2019 and is needed to help offset the costs of maintenance and management of the Launch Ramp facilities. This fee is consistent with local Marinas, (see Table 6).

 New Customer Discount. Currently, new customers who sign up before September receive two months of free dockage (slip fees) in December and January, along with a $75 gift card to a Berkeley Waterfront business. To improve marketing and simplify implementation of the incentive, this discount is proposed to change to: two months free after the initial two months are paid. This has no fiscal impact but may help recruit new boaters.
 Waterfront Special Event Fees established in 2020 are working well for non- ticketed events. In 2025, $28,722 in fees was received from 11 special events.

The fees and process help external event producers clearly understand the costs of producing events at the Waterfront, facilitate fair and consistent application of the fees, and offset the impact of these events. There are two changes proposed to the existing fees outlined in Table 7 below.
 Ticket fees for gated events would remain at 10% of gross ticket sales, but the calculation would change to match San Francisco’s recently updated method of assessing the fee on gross ticket sales less special event fees.  Concession fees would be reduced from 10% to 3% of gross concession sales, to remain competitive with our neighboring jurisdictions. San Francisco charges

5% of concessions. East Bay Regional Park District charges the greater of $75 or 10% of vendor sales at the event but does not charge ticket fees. Oakland does not charge for ticket or concession fees.

Through Fees) or $0, whichever is greater.

Concession Fee, for concessions sold on

3% of gross sales for concessions sold on site at

 Additional Waterfront Parking Passes. A new fee of $200 is proposed for additional boater and tenant parking passes to park in Waterfront lots. Each Waterfront business will receive a predetermined number of free passes based on annual revenue and employee need. Additional passes for tenant staff and slipholders may be purchased for $200/pass. The fee is needed to offset costs to maintain Waterfront parking lots and infrastructure.

BACKGROUND
The Marina Fund covers all Waterfront operations including the Marina, landscaping, facilities, parks, roads, recreation programs and special events. Specific examples include the daily maintenance of over 1,000 berths, repairs to docks, pilings and buildings, staffing in Shorebird Nature Center and Adventure playground and the daily administration of what essentially is a “small city”. These costs are paid via revenues from berth fees, special fees, and commercial leases and licenses. Berth fees comprise 46% of all Marina Fund revenue, while all other marina fees combined comprise approximately 9% of Marina Fund revenue.

The proposed fees were brought before the Parks, Recreation & Waterfront Commission on November 12, 2025 at their regular meeting. These fees along with a range of financial alternatives to fiscally stabilize the Marina Fund were presented to the Council Budget & Finance Policy Committee on October 28, 2025.3

ENVIRONMENTAL SUSTAINABILITY
The proposed fee increases will improve the City’s ability to manage and operate the Berkeley Waterfront, where the City provides unique recreational and educational opportunities for the community to engage with and learn about the Bay and local marine environment.

PUBLIC HEARING
January 27, 2026
To: Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council
From: Paul Buddenhagen, City Manager
Submitted by: Jordan Klein, Director, Planning & Development Department Subject: Zoning Adjustment Board Appeal: 2109 Virginia, Use Permit #ZP2024-0066

RECOMMENDATION
Conduct a public hearing, and upon conclusion adopt a Resolution denying the appeal and affirming the Zoning Adjustment Board (ZAB) decision to approve Use Permit #ZP2024-0066 to demolish a two-story, 4,604-square-foot non-residential building and surface parking lot, and construct an eight-story (89 feet and 4 inches), 112,969 square- foot mixed-use residential building containing 110 dwelling units (including 9 Very Low- Income and 9 Moderate Income Density Bonus qualifying units), 690 square feet of ground-floor commercial space, 109 off-street vehicle parking spaces and 64 bicycle parking spaces, on a 22,513 square foot lot.

SUMMARY
On September 11, 2025, the ZAB approved Use Permit #ZP2024-0066 to demolish the existing two-story, non-residential building and construct an eight-story, mixed-use residential building containing a total of 110 dwelling units, including nine Very Low- Income (VLI) units, nine Moderate Income (MI) units, 690 square feet of ground floor commercial space, 109 vehicle parking spaces, and 64 bicycle parking spaces. The project approval was based on findings that the project would not be detrimental to the general welfare of the City, aligns with the purpose of the zoning district, encourages the use of public transit, and facilitates the construction of affordable housing.

On September 30, 2025, the ZAB’s decision was appealed by neighboring residents, who raised concerns that the approved project would be a detriment to their property and cause impacts related to noise, pollution (air, soil, water), traffic, safety, and shadows. The appeal further states the proposed project lacks adequate labor standards, lacks community input, and does not include enough affordable housing units to justify the height increase from five to eight stories.

FISCAL IMPACTS OF RECOMMENDATION
None.

BACKGROUND

ZAB Appeal: 2109 Virginia Street, Use Permit ZP2024-0066 PUBLIC HEARING January 27, 2026

The project site is a rectangular north-south-oriented corner lot located on the northeast corner of Shattuck Avenue and Virginia Street in the North Berkeley neighborhood. It is a 22,513 square foot split-zoned lot consisting of the following zoning districts: North Shattuck Commercial District (C-NS), Restricted Multiple-Family Residential District (R- 2A), and Multi-Family Residential District (R-4).

The project site is surrounded by commercial uses and mixed-use buildings to the north, east, and west. A multi-family residential building is located to the south across Virginia Street. The surrounding buildings are one to three stories in height. Housing types include single-family homes, duplexes, and small apartment buildings, and are mostly located to the northeast. There are existing on-street metered parking spaces along the frontages of Shattuck Avenue and Virginia Street. The property is served by Alameda County Transit buses and is less than one mile from the North Berkeley BART Station and half mile from the Downtown Berkeley BART Station. There are various local shops, restaurants, services, public parks, and the University of California, Berkeley, all within a half mile of the site.

Figure 1. Zoning
The proposed project would demolish the existing two-story commercial building and surface parking lot to construct a 112,969-square-foot mixed-use residential building containing 110 dwelling units (including nine Very Low-Income and nine Moderate Income Density Bonus qualifying units), 690 square feet of ground-floor commercial space and 109 vehicle parking spaces. The proposed project is also providing 7,060 square-feet of usable open space, 64 bicycle parking spaces, and new street trees on Shattuck and Virginia.

The subject site is also identified as a Housing Opportunity Site in the adopted, certified 2023-2031 Housing Element. Due to the site size exceeding 0.5 acres, it was identified as a “High Potential” site for redevelopment of residential uses, with a capacity of 50 dwelling units per acre.

Senate Bill 330 (Housing Crisis Act of 2019) and State Density Bonus Law The proposed project qualifies as a housing development project under SB 330 and is requesting a density bonus under the State Density Bonus Law. The total density bonus is calculated based on the site’s base density and the allowable bonus granted for providing affordable housing. The base density reflects the maximum number of units allowed on the site while fully complying with applicable district development standards, including height, setbacks, usable open space, and parking requirements. The density bonus is then determined by the percentage of total units dedicated as affordable and their affordability level. For this site, the base density is 55 units. By proposing nine very low-income (VLI) units,15% of the total base units, and nine moderate income (MI) units, 15% of the total base units, the project qualifies for a 100% density bonus, increasing the maximum allowable density to 110 units.

Notes:
a. Pursuant to Government Code 65915(q), all unit calculations are rounded up to the nearest whole number.

The proposed project is entitled to three concessions or incentives under Government Code Section 65915(d), as well as an unlimited number of development standard waivers under Government Code Section 65915(e). The applicant is requesting two concessions for the project as follows:
 Public Art In-lieu Fee. A Concession from BMC Chapter 23.316 “Percentage for Public Art on Private Projects” to allow an exemption from the in-lieu fee; and
 On-Grade Parking. A Concession to relocate the underground parking in the base project to an on-grade podium structure in the proposed project.

The applicant is requesting 11 waivers from the following development standards:

North Shattuck Commercial District (C-NS):
 Main Building Height. Waiver from BMC Section 23.204.090(D)(1) “Basic Development Standards” for a mixed-use project to exceed the 35-foot maximum

ZAB Appeal: 2109 Virginia Street, Use Permit ZP2024-0066 PUBLIC HEARING January 27, 2026

height limit by adding 54 feet, 4 inches, for a total of 89 feet, 4 inches, and exceed the 3-story limit by adding 5 stories, for a total of 8 stories.  Residential Window Setback. Waiver from BMC Section 23.204.090(D)(4) “Residential Window Setback” to reduce the setback for a Mixed-Use building, opposite a required window in any habitable room of a residential use, to 0 feet, 0 inches where 10 feet is required.
 Interior Side Setback. Waiver from BMC Section 23.304.030(C)(2) “Lots Adjacent to Residential Districts” to reduce the interior side setback to 0 feet, 0 inches for the interior side where 5 feet is required.
 Parking. Waiver from BMC Section 23.322.070(D)(1) “Excess Off-Street Parking” to exceed the maximum number of off-street residential parking.

Restricted Multiple Family Residential District (R-2A):
 Main Building Height. Waiver from BMC Section 23.202.090(D)(1) “Basic Development Standards” to exceed the 35-foot maximum by adding 54 feet, 4 inches for a total of 89 feet, 4 inches, and exceed the 3-story limit by adding 5 stories, for a total of 8 stories.
 Lot Coverage. Waiver from BMC Section 23.202.090(D)(2) “Supplemental Development Standards” to exceed the 40% lot coverage limit for a 3-story building on a corner lot by adding 60% for a total of 100% lot coverage.  Interior Side Setback. Waiver from BMC Section 23.202.090(D)(1) “Basic Development Standards” to reduce the interior side setback to 0 feet, 0 inches on the first and second story where 4 feet is required.

Multi-Family Residential District (R-4):
 Main Building Height. Waiver from BMC Section 23.202.110(E)(1) “Basic Development Standards” to exceed the 65-foot maximum height by adding 24 feet, 4 inches for a total of 89 feet, 4 inches and exceed the 6-story limit by adding 2 stories, for a total of 8 stories.
 Lot Coverage. Waiver from BMC Section 23.202.110(E)(2) “Supplemental Development Standards” to exceed the 40% lot coverage limit for a 6-story building on a corner lot in by adding 60% for a total of 100% lot coverage.  Front Setback. Waiver from BMC Section 23.202.110(E)(1) “Basic Development Standards” to reduce the front setback to 2 feet, 10 inches on the

ZAB Appeal: 2109 Virginia Street, Use Permit ZP2024-0066 PUBLIC HEARING January 27, 2026

western side of the lot and 5 feet, 8 inches on the eastern side of the lot where 15 feet is required.

Multi-Family Residential District (R-4) cont’d:
 Interior Side Setback. Waiver from BMC Section 23.202.110(E)(1) “Basic Development Standards” to reduce the interior side setback to 0 feet, 0 inches for stories 1-2 where 4 feet is required, and provide a 9 foot, 8-inch setback for 3-8 stories, where:
o 6 feet is required for the third story,
o 8 feet is required for the fourth story,
o 10 feet is required for the fifth story, and
o 12 feet is required for the sixth story.

The waivers are requested because they are necessary to physically accommodate the additional 18 units as allowed under the State Density Bonus Law.

The City may only deny the waivers if it finds that the waivers would have a specific adverse impact upon public health and safety, or the physical environment, or on any real property listed in the California Register of Historical Resources, and there is no feasible method to satisfactorily mitigate or avoid the specific adverse impact without rendering the development unaffordable to low-income, very-low income, and moderate-income households, or if the waiver would be contrary to State or Federal law.

In addition, the project is subject to the Permit Streamlining Act (Chapter 4.5, beginning with Section 65920), which limits the number of public hearings to no more than five.

The January 27, 2026 City Council hearing represents the fourth public hearing for the proposed project since the project was deemed complete.

RATIONALE FOR RECOMMENDATION
The issues raised in the appellant’s letter (Attachment 2) and staff’s responses are detailed below. For the sake of brevity, the appeal issues are not re-stated in their entirety.

Issue 1: The appellants argue that construction activities would create noise, dust, and vibration that would disrupt nearby households, and they are requesting mitigation measures to reduce these impacts. In addition, they are requesting mitigation to nearby creeks and aquifers, additional soil testing due to the site’s past use as a dry cleaner, measures to protect community health from exposure to hazardous substances, and written disclosures to future tenants regarding soil or groundwater monitoring and any health risks associated with the site.

ZAB Appeal: 2109 Virginia Street, Use Permit ZP2024-0066 PUBLIC HEARING January 27, 2026

Response: The Conditions of Approval include several conditions to mitigate the construction impacts mentioned. See Conditions number 17, 21, 23, 24C, 24D, 24E, 44-

46. No creek or culvert, as defined by BMC Chapter 17.08, exists on or within 30 feet of the project site.

Due to its previous use as a dry cleaner, the site was remediated under the oversight of the DTSC in 1987 and assessed by the San Francisco Bay Regional Water Quality Control Board (RWQCB) in 1999. The applicant submitted Phase I and II reports, which were preliminarily reviewed by the City of Berkeley’s Toxics Division and subsequently by LSA Consultants to prepare an environmental checklist in accordance with CEQA Section 15183.3 (“Streamlining for Infill Projects”) and 15162 (“Subsequent EIRs and Negative Declarations”). The Phase I ESA identified a past contamination issue, so a Phase II ESA was subsequently prepared. The Phase II ESA found that any remaining soil or groundwater impacts are minimal and consistent with the conditions described in the case closure letters granted by the DTSC in 1987 and the San Francisco Bay RWQCB in 1999. Because no land use restrictions or continuing obligations were required by DTSC and the San Francisco Bay RWQCB, the Phase II ESA concluded that no further assessment or regulatory oversight is necessary. The CEQA analysis found that the project would not have significant environmental effects that have not already been analyzed in the Housing Element EIR or that are more significant than those previously analyzed.

Issue 2: The appellants argue that the project should be conditioned to use union labor, ensuring fair wages, safety protections, and higher construction quality.

Response: The project was vested on December 27, 2023 under the Housing Crisis Act of 2019. This vesting date is prior to the January 1, 2024 effective date of the Hard Hats ordinance (BMC Chapter 13.107). Therefore, a Condition of Approval cannot be retroactively applied to the project.

Issue 3: The appellants argue that parking will overflow into nearby streets, worsening the existing shortage. They also claim the location of the parking entrance will increase congestion on Shattuck Avenue and pose safety risks for pedestrians and cyclists.

Response: The project provides 109 off-street parking spaces, nearly double the amount typically required near transit (55 maximum), helping to minimize neighborhood spillover given the site's proximity to transit and commercial areas. Also, the project is not eligible for the Residential Permit Parking program, (RPP) and new residents would not be able to secure the existing permits for on-street residential parking that serve the neighborhood. The site is well-served by BART and AC Transit and includes transit incentives and unbundled parking (see Condition number 63), which encourage reduced car ownership and use.

ZAB Appeal: 2109 Virginia Street, Use Permit ZP2024-0066 PUBLIC HEARING January 27, 2026

The parking entrance on Shattuck Avenue reuses an existing curb cut and is consistent with existing commercial access patterns. Placing the entrance on Virginia Street would have required major excavation due to the slope of the lot. The project includes streetscape improvements, such as a corner bulb-out with seating and new street trees, which enhance pedestrian safety and visibility.

Issue 4: The appellants claim that the number of units and parking spaces will lead to operational impacts, including noise and increased traffic from deliveries, rideshare pickups, and service vehicles.

Response: The project includes standard Conditions of Approval to manage operational impacts such as noise and traffic. These include:

Noise Reduction Measures: HVAC systems must meet City noise standards, and interior noise levels must comply with residential limits (Condition 27–28).

Transportation Demand Management (TDM): Residents receive transit benefits and real-time transit info (Condition 63), reducing reliance on rideshare and personal vehicles.

Loading Zone and Designated Areas: The ground floor includes a loading zone to accommodate deliveries and service vehicles, minimizing disruption to surrounding streets.

Unbundled Parking: Parking spaces are leased separately from units, discouraging excess vehicle ownership.

No significant operational impacts were identified in the CEQA analysis, and the project complies with all applicable zoning and environmental standards.

Issue 5: The appellants claim the project increased from 5 to 8 stories without clear public notice or sufficient community input. They request stronger affordability commitments in exchange for the added height and ask for transparency on how the density bonus was calculated, which concessions and waivers were granted, and how the City ensures that concessions result in real community benefit.

Response: Public outreach for the project included a neighborhood meeting, mailed notices, posted signage, and multiple public hearings, as outlined in the ZAB staff report. The increase to 8 stories complies with State Density Bonus Law, which allows additional height in exchange for affordable housing. The project includes 18 below- market-rate units (nine Very Low-Income and nine Moderate-Income), qualifying for a 100% density bonus. The ZAB staff report explains how the bonus was calculated and lists the concessions and waivers requested. All of this information was presented at the ZAB public hearing. Per Government Code Section 65915(k), concessions granted

ZAB Appeal: 2109 Virginia Street, Use Permit ZP2024-0066 PUBLIC HEARING January 27, 2026

under the State Density Bonus Law are intended to support affordable housing and do not require the provision of community benefits.

Issue 6: The appellants claim the proposed project would create shade and privacy impacts for the adjacent homes.

Response: The applicant submitted shadow studies illustrating the shadows cast by the project at three times of day during the summer and winter solstices. The studies indicate new shadows would fall on the following nearby residences:
 Winter (2 hours before sunset): 1624, 1628, 1632, 1634, 1636, and 1640 Walnut Street, located to the northeast and east of the project site.  Summer (2 hours before sunset): 1634, 1636, and 1640 Walnut Street, located to east of the project site.

While the project would introduce new shadows on neighboring properties, these impacts would be limited in duration and extent and affect only portions of the buildings for a few hours of the day, only during certain times of the year. Such impacts are typical in a built urban environment and are not considered detrimental to the surrounding residential uses.

To address privacy, the proposed project steps back above the podium level on the north and east sides and incorporates trees and planters to minimize privacy impacts.

The step back is maintained for all upper stories of the building.

Issue 7: The appellants raise concerns about emergency preparedness and infrastructure impacts. They cite the site’s seismic risk and deep excavation for the 8-story building as potential safety issues, and request details on fire protection and emergency access. They also note increased demand on police and fire services, loss of trees and green space, and claim the project’s impact on utilities and infrastructure hasn’t been fully addressed.

Response: The project site is not located within a designated seismic hazard zone for landslides, liquefaction, or fault rupture, according to the State Seismic Hazard Zones map. Therefore, no additional geotechnical mitigation is required beyond standard building code compliance. The project is subject to standard Conditions of Approval requiring compliance with all applicable fire and building codes. These include installation of fire sprinklers to meet the 2025 Building and Fire Codes, emergency access provisions, and evacuation planning, which will be reviewed during the building permit process. The CEQA analysis did not identify any significant impacts on police, fire, or ambulance services beyond those already addressed in the Housing Element EIR. The project is consistent with planned residential growth and infrastructure capacity and includes new street trees and landscaping improvements to offset the

ZAB Appeal: 2109 Virginia Street, Use Permit ZP2024-0066 PUBLIC HEARING January 27, 2026

removal of existing vegetation. These features enhance the pedestrian environment and contribute to the urban canopy. The project is located in a fully developed urban area with existing utility connections. No new or more severe infrastructure impacts were identified in the CEQA consistency analysis.

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.

ENVIRONMENTAL SUSTAINABILITY AND CLIMATE IMPACTS
The project approved by the ZAB is compliant 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, and water conservation.

The proposed project is categorically exempt from the provisions pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Section 15183.3 (“Streamlining for Infill Projects”). An environmental checklist was prepared for the project in accordance with CEQA Sections 15183.3 and 15162, utilizing the Housing Element’s Environmental Impact Report (EIR, SCH#2010032073) for a consistency analysis. The analysis concluded that the proposed project would not result in any new impacts that would require additional mitigation measures beyond those required by the Housing Element EIR.

C EQA

Qualified Infill Checklist
The project is exempt from the requirements of CEQA pursuant to Section 15183.3 of the CEQA Guidelines (“Streamlining for Infill Projects”).

Evidence: The project is located in an urban area on a previously developed site. It is consistent with the applicable General Plan designations and policies, and with the applicable zoning designations and regulations. An environmental checklist was prepared for the project in accordance with CEQA Sections 15183.3 and 15162, utilizing the Housing Element’s Environmental Impact Report (EIR, SCH#2010032073) for a consistency analysis. The analysis concluded that the proposed project would not result in any new impacts that would require addit ional mitigation measures beyond those required by the Housing Element EIR.

FINDINGS FOR APPROVAL
As required by BMC Section 23.406.040 (E) (1-4) “Findings for Approval ,” the following findings shall be made:

1. To approv
e a Use Permit, the ZAB shall find that the proposed project or use:

a) Will not be detrimental to the health, safety, peace, morals, comfort, or general welfare of persons residing or visiting in the area or neighborhood of the proposed use; and

Evidence: The project will not be detrimental to the health safety, peace, morals, comfort or general welfare of person residing or visiting in the area because the project is consistent with all applicable C -NS, R-2A, and R -4 District standards , qualifies for concessions and waivers for the standards granted pursuant to State Density Bonus, Government Code, Section 65915 , and will not unreasonably obstruct sunlight, air , or views.

The increase in shadows would be limited to certain times of days during winter and summer, on adjacent properties. Specifically, in the summer, portions of buildings to the east would experience additional shade in the late afternoon, and the buildings to the west would experience additional shade in the morning . In the winter, additional shade would extend to buildings to the northwest in the morning , to the building in the north at noon, and to the buildings in the east in the late afternoon.

The project site is on a major commercial corridor, significantly slopes down from east to west, and abuts R-4 lots to the east, which allow heights up to 65 feet with a Use Permit. Therefore, even though the project will create new shadow impacts on neighboring buildings, the projected impacts will be in line with what is expected within a built urban environment.

Page | 3

The reduction in setbacks is consistent with development patterns found in the neighborhood, where commercial and mixed-use buildings are built up to the property line, and is permissible under a density bonus waiver to allow the construction of dwelling units; the project would not be detrimental to air quality.

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.

Evidence: The project will not be detrimental or injurious to property and improvements of the adjacent properties, the surrounding area or neighborhood, or the general welfare of the City because the project will benefit the immediate and surrounding neighborhoods by replacing an underutilized commercial building with 110 additional housing units, including 18 below-market-rate units, which contribute to the local and regional housing stock, and ground floor commercial space that may provide services conveniently ac cessible to the nearby neighborhoods, and accessible by public transit. The 110 units proposed for an opportunity site, as identified in the Housing Element, will be accompanied by a commensurate amount of parking intended to mitigate any potential strain on the current on- street parking supply that may result from the mixed-use project.

2. To approve the Use Permit, the ZAB must also make any other Use Permit findings specifically required by the Zoning Ordinance for the proposed project.

DEMOLITION

Pursuant to BMC Section 23.326.070(D) “Demolition of Non -Residential Buildings,” the following findings shall be made : (1) the demolition will not be materially detrimental to the commercial needs and public interest of any affected neighborhood or the City, and (2) the demolition is required to allow a proposed new building or other proposed new use, will remove a building that is unusable for activities compatible with the purpose of the district or infeasible to modify for such uses, will remove a struct ure that is an uninhabitable attractive nuisance to the public, or is required for the furtherance of specific plans or projects sponsored by the City or other local district or authority.

Evidence: The proposed ground -floor commercial space is compatible with existing development patterns along Shattuck Avenue and Virginia Street and will accommodate neighborhood-serving commercial uses. The project aligns with the district’s objectives to provide a mix of commercial and residential development that is compatible with the existing uses within the C -NS district. The project redevelops an underutilized lot with a mixed- use building that will provide more

Page | 4

housing opportunities. The demolition of the existing 4,604-square -foot, two-story commercial building is necessary to allow the proposed new mixed- use building with 110 dwelling units, which cannot be accommodated in the existing building envelope. The project demolishes an underutilized parking lot and comm ercial building with vacant ground-floor tenants to be replaced with a mixed-use building that contains active frontages on Shattuck Avenue. The project implements the goals of the Housing Element by providing twice the number of units identified for the site.

DENSITY BONUS
A. Pursuant to Government Code Section 65915, the Zoning Adjustments Board finds that:

1. Under the City’s methodology for implementing density bonuses, the base pro
ject consists of 55 units;

2. T
he project will provide at least 9 Very Low Income and 9 Moderate Income qualifying units in the 55-unit base project, as more fully set forth in Condition 33;

3. The project is entitled to a density increase of 100 percent over the otherwise maximum allowable residential density under the Zoning Ordinance and General Plan Land Use Element, under the requirements of Government Code Section 65915(b) and (f), plus three concessions or incentives. This equates to a density bonus of up to 55 units above the base project, for a total of up to 110 units.

B. In accordance with Government Code Section 65915(d) and (k), the Zoning Adjustments Board hereby grants the following concessions in order to provide for affordable housing costs:

1. Public Art In-lieu Fee. A Concession from BMC Chapter 23.316 to allow an exemption from the Percentage for Public Art on Private Projects in-lieu fee; and

2. On-Grade Parking. A Concession to relocate the underground parking in the base project to above grade in the proposed project.

C. In accordance with Government Code Section 65915(d), in order to allow construction of the proposed project with the density permitted under State law, the Zoning Adjustments Board finds that the approval of the concessions is required to provide for affordable rents, as provided in Government Code Section 65915(d)(1)(A) because 1) approval of the concession would result in identifiable and actual cost reduction; 2) approval of the concession would not have a specific adverse impact upon public health and safety, or the physical environment, or on any real property listed in the California Register of Historical Resources; and 3) would not be contrary to State or Federal law.

Page | 5

D. In accordance with Government Code Section 65915(e) the Zoning Adjustments Board hereby grants the following waivers to modify development standards as necessary to accommodate these density bonus units.

North Shattuck Commercial District (C-NS)

1. Waiver from BMC Section 23.204.090(D)(1) “Basic Development Standards” for a mixed-use project to exceed the 35 -foot maximum height limit by adding 54 feet, 4 inches, for a total of 89 feet, 4 inches, and exceed the 3-story limit by adding 5 stories, for a total of 8 stories;

2. Waiver from BMC Section 23.204.090(D)(4) “Residential Window Setback” to reduce the setback for a Mixed -Use building, opposite a required window in any habitable room of a residential use to 0 feet, 0 inches where 10 feet is required;

11. Waiver from BMC Section 23.202.110(E)(1) “Basic Development Standards” to reduce the interior side setback to 0 feet, 0 inches for stories 1-2 where 4 feet is required, and provide a 9 foot, 8-inch setback for 3-8 stories.

E. In accordance with Government Code Section 65915(e), in order to allow construction of the proposed project with the density permitted under State law, the Zoning Adjustments Board finds that the approval of waivers is required 1) to construct the proposed project at the density permitted under State law; 2) approval of requested waivers will not have a specific adverse impact upon public health and safety, or the physical environment, or on any real property listed in the California Register of Historical Resources; and 3) approval of the requested waivers will not be contrary to State or Federal law.

HOUSING ACCOUNTABILITY ACT

The Housing Accountability Act, Government Code Section 65589.5(j) requires that when a pr
oposed housing development complies with applicable, objective general plan and zoning standards, a local agency may not deny the project or approve it with reduced density
unless the agency makes written findings
supported by substantial evidence that: (1) the development would have a specific adverse impact on public health or safety unless disapproved or approved at a lower density; and (2) there is no feasible method to satisfactorily mitigate or avoid the specific adverse impact, other than the disapproval or approval at a lower density.

Evidence: The project includes construction of an 8-story (89 feet and 4 inches) 112,969 square-foot mixed-use residential development with 110 dwelling units (including 9 Very Low -Income and 9 Moderate Income units), 690 square feet of ground floor commercial space. Because the base project complies with applicable, objective general plan and zoning standards, Section 65589.5(j) does apply to this project. No significant, quantifiable, direct and unavoidable impacts, based on objective, identified written public health or safety standards, polices, or conditions, have been identified.

PERMIT FINDINGS FOR THE C-NS ZONING DISTRICT
As required by BMC Section 23.204.090 (E) “Permit Findings,” the following findings shall be made: To approve an AUP or Use Permit for a project in the C -NS district, the review authority must make the findings in Section 23.406.040 (Use Permits ) and find that the proposed use or structure:

Page | 7

1. Is compatible in design and character with the commercial district and the adjacent residential neighborhoods;
Evidence: The project is compatible in design and character to the commercial district and adjacent residential neighborhoods because it will construct a mixed- use building that offers both housing and commercial space, thereby contributing to the existing uses in the area and reinforcing compatibility with the C -NS neighborhood and adjacent residential neighborhoods.

2. Is compatible with the purposes and the existing character of the district.

Evidence: The project is compatible with the existing character and purposes of the district because it will construct a mixed-use building that provides housing and commercial space, contributing to the existing commercial and residential uses in the neighborhood and, therefore, compatible. It will provide commercial use on the ground level and provide off-street vehicle parking and bicycle parking, allowing the project to mitigate any potential intensification of available traffic capacity and potential parking supply that would result from the increased density.

3. Does not interfere with the continuity of retail or compatible service facilities at the ground level;

Evidence: The project does not interfere with the continuity of retail or compatible service facilities at the ground level because it will provide a commercial space on the ground floor , creating modern space and continuity to the existing ground-floor uses on Shattuck Avenue.

4. Does not exceed the amount and intensity of use that can be served by available traffic capacity and potential parking supply.

Evidence: The project does not exceed the amount and intensity of use that can be served by available traffic capacity and potential parking supply because it is accessible by public transportation, and will provide bicycle and vehicle parking spaces, thereby reduci ng the strain on the metered street parking supply in the area.

3. When taking action on a Use Permit, the ZAB shall consider in its findings:

(a) The proposed land use; and

Evidence: The proposed land use meets the findings for approval because the project’s residential and commercial uses are allowed land uses and consistent with the General Plan Land Use Designation of Neighborhood Commercial and with the C-NS, R-2A and R-4 zoning of the property. The additional residential units provided

Page | 8

will create new housing opportunities on a transit-served site, contributing to local and regional housing needs and consistent with the development standards, with the inclusion of applicable waivers and concessions allowed under the State Density Bonus law.

(b) The structure or addition that accommodates the use.

Evidence: The proposed construction of an 8-story multi-family building (89 feet and 4 inches in maximum height) i s consistent with the zoning development standards, with the inclusion of waivers to modify height and setback limits, pursuant to Government Code Section 65915 “State Density Bonus Law.”

4. Required findings shall be made based on the circumstances existing at the time a decision is made on the application.

Evidence: The required findings are satisfied because the project has been determined to be fully compliant with all applicable local and state regulations based on the project plans submitted on July 9, 2025 , included as analysis in this report, and evaluated based on the existing conditions of the subject site and surrounding neighborhood at the time of decision.

Use Permit to demolish a 2 -story commercial building (4,604 square feet) and surface parking lot, and construct an 8 -story (89 feet and 4 inches) 112,969 square-foot mixed -use residential development with 110 dwelling units (including 9 Very Low-Income and 9 Moderate Income units), 690 square feet of ground floor commercial space, 109 off -street vehicle parking spaces and 64 bicycle parking spaces.

I. STANDARD CONDITIONS OF APPROVAL FOR ALL PROJECTS
Pursuant to Berkeley Municipal Code (BMC) Title 23 Zoning Ordinance and Title 13 Public Peace, Morals, and Welfare, the following conditions, as well as all other applicable provisions of the Zoning Ordinance, apply to this Permit:

1. Conditions and Mi tigation Monitoring and Reporting Program 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.

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)):

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.

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 re-establish the previously existing use, an applicant must obtain all permits required by the Zoning Ordinance for the use.

49. 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:

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.

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.

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.

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.

If significant materials are recovered, the qualified professional shall prepare a report on the findings for submittal to the Northwest Information Center.

50. 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 Section 15064.5 (e)(1) of the CEQA Guidelines. 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.

51. 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.

52. 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.

53. 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:

The project plans shall identify and show site- specific Best Management Practices (BMPs) appropriate to activities conducted on- site to limit to the maximum extent practicable the discharge of pollutants to the City's storm drainage system, regardless of season or weather conditions.

Attachment 3, Exhibit A
Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Program

Final Environmental Impact Report 1
Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Program
This Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Program (MMRP) has been prepared for the City of Berkeley 2023-2031 Housing Element Update Project. The California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) and State CEQA Guidelines require a public agency to adopt a monitoring and reporting program for ensuring compliance during project implementation with mitigation measures identified in the EIR and adopted at the time of project approval.

As stated in section 21081.6(a)(1) of the Public Resources Code:
...the public agency shall adopt a reporting or monitoring program for the changes made to the p
roject or conditions of project approval, adopted in order to mitigate or avoid significant effects on the environment.

Section 21081.6 and CEQA Guidelines Section 15097 provide general guidance for impl
ementing mitigation monitoring programs, and indicate that specific reporting and/or monitoring requirements, to be enforced during project implementation, shall be defined by the agency.

To ensure that the mitigation measures are properly implemented, this MMRP identifies the timing and responsibility for implementing and monitoring each measure. Applicants for future projects will have the responsibility for implementing the measures that apply to the proposed development activity, and the identified City of Berkeley departments will have the primary responsibility for monitoring and reporting on the implementation of the mitigation measures.

1. If the proposed buildings would use operable windows or other sources of infiltration of ambient air, the development shall install a central HVAC system that includes high
efficiency particulate filters (HEPA). These types of filters are capable of removing approximately 99.97 percent of the
DPM emissions from air introduced into the HVAC system
(U.S. EPA 2022). The system may also include a carbon filter to remove other chemical matter. Filtration systems must operate to maintain positive pressure within the building interior to prevent entrainment of outdoor air indoors.

2. If the development limits infiltration through non-operable windows, a suitable ventilation system shall include a
ventilation system with filtration specifications equivalent to or better than the following: (1) American Society of
Heating, Refrigerating and Air- Conditioning Engineers
MERV-13 supply air filters, (2) greater than or equal to one air exchanges per hour of fresh outside filtered air, (3) greater than or equal to four air exchanges per hour
recirculation, and (4) less than or equal to 0.25 air exchanges per hour in unfiltered infiltration. These types of filtration methods are capable of removing approximately 90 percent of the DPM emissions from air introduced into the HVAC
system.

3. Windows and doors shall be fully weatherproofed with caulking and weather-stripping that is rated to last at least 20 years. Weatherproof should be maintained and replaced by the property owner, as necessary, to ensure functionality for the lifetime of the project.

4. Where appropriate, install passive (drop-in) electrostatic filtering systems, especially those with low air velocities (i.e., 1 mph).

If a property is found to be a qualifying historical resource, then the project shall be subject to the City’s regulations for permit review, including by the Preservation Landmarks Commission pursuant to Chapter 3.24.260, and/or by the Zoning Adjustments Board pursuant to Chapter 23.326 of the City of Berkeley Municipal Code. Efforts shall be made to the extent feasible to ensure that impacts are mitigated. Application of mitigation shall generally be overseen by a qualified architectural historian or historic architect meeting the PQS, unless unnecessary in the circumstances (e.g., preservation in place). In conjunction with a development application that may affect the historical resource, the historical resources built environment assessment shall also identify and specify the treatment of character-defining features and construction activities.

Efforts shall be made to the greatest extent feasible to ensure that the relocation, rehabilitation, or alteration of the resource is consistent with the Secretary of the Interior’s Standards for the Treatments of Historic Properties (Standards). In accordance with CEQA, a project that has been determined to conform with the Standards generally would not cause a significant adverse direct or indirect impact to historical resources (14 CCR §
15126.4(b)(1)). Application of the Standards shall be overseen by a qualified architectural historian or historic architect meeting the PQS. In conjunction with any development application that may affect the historical resource, a report identifying and specifying the treatment of character-defining features and construction activities shall be provided to the City for review and concurrence. As applicable, the report shall demonstrate how the project complies with the Standards and be submitted to the City for review and approval prior to the issuance of permits.

Documentation should include full descriptive and historical narrative, measured drawings, and medium format photographs, all in archivally stable format.

Geology and Soils
GEO-1: Protection of Paleontological Resources
If ground disturbance below the level of prior disturbance and into native soils is proposed to occur in areas mapped as Pleistocene alluvial fan and fluvial deposits (Qpaf), Orinda Formation (Tor), or Knoxville Formation (Kjk), then the City shall require the following to be implemented:

Retention of Qualified Professional Paleontologist. Prior to initial ground disturbance, the project applicant shall retain a Qualified Professional Paleontologist, as defined by Society of Vertebrate Paleontology (SVP) (2010), to determine the project’s potential to significantly impact paleontological resources according to SVP (2010) standards.

If underlying formations are found to have a high potential for paleontological resources, the Qualified Professional
Paleontologist shall create a Paleontological Mitigation and Monitoring Program, which will be approved by the City and contain the following elements:

Paleontological Worker Environmental Awareness Program
(WEAP). Prior to the start of construction, the Qualified Professional Paleontologist or their designee shall conduct a paleontological Worker Environmental Awareness Program
(WEAP) training for construction personnel regarding the appearance of fossils and procedures for notifying paleontological staff should fossils be discovered by construction staff.

Paleontological Monitoring. Full-time paleontological monitoring shall be conducted during ground disturbing construction activities (i.e., grading, trenching, foundation work) in sediments assigned a high paleontological sensitivity. Paleontological monitoring shall be conducted by a qualified Paleontological Resources Monitor, as defined by the SVP (2010). The duration and timing of the monitoring will be determined by the Qualified Professional Paleontologist based on the observation of the geologic setting from initial ground disturbance, and subject to the review and approval by the City. If the Qualified Professional Paleontologist determines that full-time monitoring is no longer warranted, based on the specific geologic conditions once the full depth of excavations has been reached, they may recommend that monitoring be reduced to periodic spot-checking or ceased entirely. Monitoring shall be reinstated if any new ground disturbances are required, and reduction or suspension shall be reconsidered by the Qualified Professional Paleontologist at that time. In the event of a fossil discovery by the paleontological monitor or construction personnel, all work in the immediate vicinity of the find shall cease. A Qualified Professional Paleontologist shall evaluate the find before restarting construction activity in the area. If it is determined that the fossil(s) is (are) scientifically significant, the Qualified Professional Paleontologist shall complete the following conditions to mitigate impacts to significant fossil resources.

Tribal Cultural Resources
TCR-1: Tribal Cultural Monitoring
For projects that are determined through tribal consultation to potentially affect tribal cultural resources, in order to mitigate potential adverse impacts to Native American cultural objects and human remains discovered during construction, tribal cultural monitors will be retained to monitor work done in areas of Tribal concern, as determined through tribal consultation. If Native American cultural objects and/or human remains are discovered during construction, work shall be halted within 100 feet of the discovery until the objects have been inspected and evaluated by tribal cultural monitors and a qualified archaeologist meeting the Professional Qualifications Standards of the Secretary of the Interior (36 CFR Part 61). The archaeologist shall, in accordance with the appropriate Guidelines, identify and evaluate the significance of the discovery and develop recommendations for treatment in consultation with the affected Tribe to ensure any impacts to the cultural resource are less than significant. The preferred mitigation is avoidance. If avoidance is not feasible, Project impacts shall be mitigated in consultation with the affected Tribe consistent with the CEQA Guidelines for
Determining the Significance of and Impacts to Cultural Resource, Archaeological Historic and Tribal Cultural Resources. Such mitigation may include, but is not limited to, additional archaeological testing, archaeological monitoring and/or an Project applicants shall

Street Tree Notes and
Details
STREET TREE COORDINATION NOTES:
a)

PROPOSED STREET TREE SPECIES, LOCATION, AND CONDITIONS SUBJECT TO ONGOING REVIEW AND APPROVAL BY THE CITY OF BERKELEY'S MANAGING CONSULTING URBAN FORESTER AND ARBORIST.

PROPOSED STREET TREES ARE
CURRENT WITH EXISTING UTILITIES AS OF xx.xx.2024 AND

WILL BE SUBJECT TO ADDITIONAL REVIEW AFTER PROPOSED
UTILITIES ARE FINALIZED.
b)

TREE PROTECTION FENCING LOCATIONS AND DETAILS TO BE ADDED TO THE DEMOLITION PLAN IN BUILDING PERMIT SET.
c)
CLEARANCE PRUNING REQUIRES PRIOR APPROVAL OF THE CITY. APPROVED CLEARANCE PRUNING SHALL BE COMPLETED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE LATEST EDITIONS OF THE BEST MANAGEMENT PRACTICESFOR PRUNING (INTERNATIONAL SOCIETY OF ARBORICULTURE) AND THE AMERICAN NATIONAL STANDARD FORTREE CARE OPERATIONS (Z133.1) AND PRUNING (A300, PART 1). TREES SHALL NOT BE TOPPED OR HEADEDBACK. TREE PRUNING SHALL BE COMPLETED TO REDUCE LIMBS FOR CLEARANCE WHILE MAKING THESMALLEST CUTS POSSIBLE . TREE PRUNING SHOULD BE LIMITED TO MINOR BRANCHES. BRANCH REMOVAL OR REDUCTION CUTS (THINNING CUTS) ARE TO BE EMPLOYED RATHER THAN HEADING CUTS. d)

ALL EXISTING STREET TREES (INCLUDING ANY OF THEIR BRANCHES) ADJACENT TO PLANNED CONSTRUCTION SCAFFOLDING MUST BE PROTECTED FROM MECHANICAL INJURY. e)

ROOT PRUNING REQUIRES PRIOR APPROVAL OF THE CITY AND SHALL BE SUPERVISED BY THE PROJECT ARBORIST.

SEE NOTES BELOW FOR MORE INFORMATION.

STREET TREE PROTECTION DURING CONSTRUCTION NOTES:
a)

ALL TREE PROTECTION REQUIREMENTS AND RESTRICTIONS SHALL BE INCLUDED IN THE CONSTRUCTION NOTES AND PRINTED ON ALL COPIES OF THE PLANS. INCLUDE THE NAME AND PHONE NUMBER OFTHE PARTY THAT WILL MONITOR THE SITE AND ENSURE THE TREE PROTECTION MEASURES AREBEING FOLLOWED; AND WHAT THE MONITORING SCHEDULE WILL BE:

NAME / PHONE / SCHEDULE
b)
TREE PROTECTION ZONES: THE CALCULATED TREE PROTECTION ZONE IS THE ENTIRE DRIPLINE OF THE TREES.

THE SPECIFIED TREE PROTECTION ZONE IS THE ENTIRE PARKWAY (TREE WELL).

NO GRADING, EXCAVATION, CONSTRUCTION OR STORAGE OF MATERIALS SHALL OCCUR WITHIN THE SPECIFIED TREE PROTECTION ZONE. NO UNDERGROUND SERVICESINCLUDING UTILITIES, SUB-DRAINS, WATER OR SEWER SHALL BE PLACED IN THE TREEPROTECTION ZONE. c)
TREE PROTECTIONS: ADD TREE PROTECTION FENCING TO PROTECT THE EXPOSED DRIPLINE WITHIN THE PARKWAY (FIGURE 2).

INSTALL 6 FOOT CHAIN-LINK OR WOOD FENCING TO
PROTECT THE AREA WITHIN THE TREE WELL OF ANY PROTECTED TREE IN THE DEVELOPMENT AREA. FENCINGSHALL BE MOUNTED TO POSTS THAT ARE DRIVEN INTO THE GROUND (SEE FIGURES 2 AND 3).

ALL STREET

TREE PROTECTION FENCING MUST PROTECT ENTIRE EXPOSED SOIL AREA WITHIN EACH TREE WELL. WHERE THIS IS NOT POSSIBLE BECAUSE OF EXISTING STRUCTURES, TREE ROOTS, OR OTHER OBSTACLES, CHAIN-LINK PANELS MOUNTED TO STANCHIONS AND CONNECTED TO EACH OTHER MAY BEAPPROVED. IN AREAS WHERE DIFFICULT TERRAIN MAKES THIS IMPRACTICAL, ORANGE CONSTRUCTIONFENCING MAY BE APPROVED. d)

ALL FENCING SHALL HAVE SIGNAGE STATING THE REQUIREMENTS AND RESTRICTIONS, AND THE CONTACT INFORMATION FOR THE PROJECT ARBORIST.
e)

WHEN ANY APPROVED CONSTRUCTION ACTIVITY WILL OCCUR WITHIN THE DRIP LINE OF A PROTECTED TREE THAT IS NOT SURROUNDED BY PROTECTIVE FENCING, THE TRUNK SHALL BE PROTECTED BY WRAPPING ITWITH STRAW TUBES (WATTLE) OR VERTICAL WOOD SLATS (EX. 2X4), UP TO A MINIMUM OF 8 FEET FROM GRADE (SEE FIGURE 1, PAGE 6). SLATS SHALL BE ANGLED TO PROTECT THE ROOT FLARE AT THE BASE OF THE TREE; AND CLOSED CELL FOAM OR EQUIVALENT MATERIAL SHALL BE USED TO PROTECT THE TRUNK OF THETREE WHERE IT CONTACTS THE SLATS. LATERAL BRANCHES BELOW 8 FEET SHALL ALSO BE PROTECTED. IN ADDITION, THE AREA SHALL BE COVERED WITH A 6 INCH LAYER OF MULCH TOPPED WITH 3/4 INCH PLYWOODTHAT IS FASTENED TOGETHER. IF ANY LARGE OR MOTORIZED EQUIPMENT (MINI EXCAVATOR, BOBCAT®,POWERED WHEELBARROW) WILL TRAVEL OVER THIS AREA, THE PLYWOOD MUST BE A MINIMUM OF 1 INCHAND ADEQUATE FOR THE WEIGHT OF THE EQUIPMENT THAT WILL TRAVEL OVER IT. IF LARGER EQUIPMENT(BACKHOE, TRACTOR) WILL BE USED, CONSULT THE CITY ARBORIST.

CONSTRUCTION ACTIVITY REFERS TO ANY
MOVEMENT OF PEOPLE, TOOLS, OR EQUIPMENT; OR STORAGE OF ANY TOOLS, EQUIPMENT, OR SUPPLIES. f)
IRRIGATION: ADD IRRIGATION TO WET THE SOIL IN THE PARKWAY TO A DEPTH OF 12 INCHES. ONCE SOIL IS AT FIELD CAPACITY, IRRIGATION CAN BE SCALED BACK TO REPLACE THEWATER LOST THROUGH EVAPOTRANSPIRATION (ET). g)
MULCH: ADD 4 - 6 INCHES OF COURSE ORGANIC MULCH. THE MULCH SHOULD NOT COME IN CONTACT WITH THE TRUNK BUT SHOULD BE 24 INCHES AWAY FROM THE TRUNK. h)
LOCATE AND EXPOSE ANY ROOTS 2 INCHES IN DIAMETER OR GREATER THAT MAY NEED TO BE PRUNED TO FACILITATE THE PROJECT. THIS INCLUDES ANY TRENCHING THAT WILL BE DONE AS PART OF FOUNDATIONOR UTILITY INSTALLATION. CONTACT THE CITY ARBORIST IN ADVANCE TO LESSEN THE AMOUNT OF TIME THATTHE ROOTS WILL BE EXPOSED. IF ROOTS MUST BE LEFT EXPOSED FOR MORE THAN THREE DAYS, CONSULT THECITY ARBORIST. NOTE:

THE 2 INCH DIAMETER THRESHOLD FOR ROOTS IS A GUIDELINE THAT MAY BE ADJUSTED BY THE CITY ARBORIST DEPENDING ON THE SIZE AND CONDITION OF THE TREE, AND THE LOCATIONOF THE ROOTS. THE CITY ARBORIST MAY INCREASE THE TPZ, OR IMPOSE OTHER RESTRICTIONS, WHEN THEDRIPLINE OF A TREE HAS BEEN ALTERED BY PRUNING OR UNUSUAL GROWTH PATTERNS.
