Permit submittals shall include a Stormwater Requirement Checklist and detailed information showing how the proposed project will meet Provision C.3 stormwater requirements, including a) Site design measures to reduce impervious surfaces, promote infiltration, and reduce w ater quality impacts; b) Source Control Measures to keep pollutants out of stormwater runoff; c) Stormwater treatment measures that are hydraulically sized to remove pollutants from stormwater; d) an O & M (Operations and Maintenance) agreement for all stormwater treatment devices and installations; and e) Engineering calculations for all stormwater devices (both mechanical and biological). (Project required to meet applicable code at time of building permit application, if different from above.) All on-site storm drain inlets must be labeled “No Dumping – Drains to Bay” or equivalent using methods approved by the City.

Most washing and/or steam cleaning must be done at an appropriately equipped facility that drains to the sanitary sewer. Any outdoor washing or pressure washing must be managed in such a way that there is no discharge or soaps or other pollutants to the storm drain. Sanitary connections are subject to the review, approval and conditions of the sanitary district with jurisdiction for receiving the discharge.

All loading areas must be designated to minimize “run- on” or runoff from the area.

Accumulated waste water that may contribute to the pollution of stormwater must be drained to the sanitary sewer or intercepted and pretreated prior to discharge to the stor m drain system. The property owner shall ensure that BMPs are implemented to prevent potential stormwater pollution. These BMPs shall include, but are not limited to, a regular program of sweeping, litter control and spill cleanup.

Sidewalks and parking lots shall be swept regularly to prevent the accumulation of litter and debris. If pressure washed, debris must be trapped and collected to prevent entry to the storm drain system. If any cleaning agent or degreaser is used, wash water shall not discharge to the storm drains; wash waters should be collected and discharged to the sanitary sewer. Discharges to the sanitary sewer are subject to the review, approval and conditions of the sanitary district with jurisdiction for receiving the discharge.

The applicant is responsible for ensuring that all contractors and sub- contractors are aware of and implement all stormwater quality control measures. Failure to comply with the approved construction BMPs shall result in the issuance of correction notices, citations, or a project stop work order.

I would appreciate your saving me some time by telling me:

make the project "not pencil out" or whatever term is used? If not, why not? A Court of Appeal held that the state's density bonus law (Gov't Code § 65915) does not require applicants to submit financial information to support requests for incentives or waivers and preempted a city ordinance that required such financial documentation to show that a project would not be "economically feasible" without the requested incentives. Schreiber v. City of Los Angeles, 69 Cal. App. 5th 549 (2021). can the City choose which concessions to give the developer when concessions are requested for density bonus projects? If not, why not? No, per Government Code Section 65915(d)

Thanks so much for your help so I can understand why tall buildings can be approved in Berkeley without even the minimum bird safe glass provisions included within the recently adopted BSG ordinance.

Hi Christopher,

I appreciate your thoughtful reasoning and the time you took to communicate your points with Staff.

However, this matter is beyond the City’s control, as State law supersedes local ordinances.

The California Department of Housing and Community Development (HCD) has advised that Density Bonus Law (DBL) concessions apply to City requirements that could increase project costs. This HCD guidance is interpreted to include provisions such as the bird-safe building standards. Under State law, the City cannot deny a housing project unless specific findings— can be made. Staff has not been able to make those findings.

I recommend watching the ZAB hearing for the project at 2425 Durant Avenue, which took place last Thursday, October 9. Similar concerns were raised regarding the concessions associated with that project. Viewing the video of the meeting would be worthwhile, as it provides helpful context and insight into staff recommendations and ZAB members’ reasoning behind these decisions.

Subject: Re: 2029 University Avenue DRC Meeting 10/16/2025

Hello Nilu

Thanks for the response. I understand that because of the low income units this building gets a density bonus.

What I don't understand is why the City would choose to give one of the largest new buildings proposed for construction downtown a pass on complying with the bird safe glass ordinance. The City talks about new tall buildings promoting sustainability but we are experiencing a massive die off of animal species across the globe. Bird species are among the heaviest hit and have declined in large numbers in recent decades. Tall buildings in downtown areas play a major role in the deaths of migrating birds.

A recent study coauthored by the Audubon chapter NYC Bird Alliance found Item 6c, Attachment 7
ZAB 2025-11-13

Page 3 of 6 ends

Page 227 of 233 ends

Page 667 ends

that over one billion birds in the U.S. die each year from window collisions due to reflective glass and artificial light at night.

The builder has already received the benefit of additional floors to make money from this building. Does the Planning Department believe that the alleged financial viability of this building is more important than implementing an existing ordinance to aid in the protection of migrating birds at a time of ever increasing massive die offs. Were there not other "concessions" that could have been offered to the developer?

What is the value of the City's commitment to the bird safe glass ordinance if it can so easily be avoided with the City's blessing? This is not sustainable development.

Finally I assume this will all be discussed in the staff report. Which ZAB meeting is this proposed development now scheduled for?

Good morning,

This project includes 15% Very-Low Income and 15% Moderate-Income units, in accordance with the State’s Density Bonus Law, making it eligible for three concessions.

These concessions are granted to support the financial feasibility of the project and do not require the applicant to provide a detailed rationale to the City. In their statement, the applicant simply notes that the concessions are necessary to ensure the project’s financial viability.

I hope this helps.

Sincerely,
Nilu

Hello, Christopher: I'm sorry to hear that you had trouble reading the agenda and meeting materials on-line. When I opened the agenda on-line to check, I also saw that it was smaller as it is formatted to fit the page. I needed to increase the size before reading it. I can check in with our admin staff on this next Tuesday and see what version is best to direct you toward.

I'm copying Nilu Karimzadegan on my response, as she is the Use Permit Planner who will be preparing the staff report and meeting materials for when these projects come to ZAB. I believe that she is already intending to go into more information about the requested concession in her ZAB report, but she might also be able to give you some information before that.

2) Please explain the rationale for excusing this building from conforming to the bird safe glass ordinance. It seems that bird safe glass is most important for high rises like the proposed building. So what is the rationale to not require for this building.

Thank you

PUBLIC HEARING
FEBRUARY 23, 2026
To: Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council
From: Paul Buddenhagen, City Manager
Submitted by: Jordan Klein, Director, Planning and Development Department Subject: Zoning Adjustments Board Appeal: 2029 University Avenue, Use Permit Application #ZP2024-0181 (Multi-Family)

RECOMMENDATION
Conduct a public hearing and upon conclusion adopt a Resolution denying the appeal and affirming the Zoning Adjustments Board (ZAB) decision to approve Use Permit #ZP2024-0181 to demolish an existing two-story commercial building and a ten-car garage structure on a 12,385-square-foot lot, and to construct a 23-story (256-feet-tall plus a 5-foot parapet) approximately 190,830-square-foot residential building containing 240 dwelling units, including 18 Very Low-Income (VLI), and 18 Moderate Income (MI) units. The proposed project provides 29 off-street parking spaces, 167 Long-term and 8 Short-Term bike parking spaces.

SUMMARY
On November 13, 2025, the ZAB approved Use Permit #ZP2024-0181 to demolish an existing two-story commercial building and a ten-car garage structure on a 12,385- square-foot lot and to construct a 23-story (256-feet-tall plus a 5-foot parapet) approximately 190,830-square-foot residential building containing 240 dwelling units.

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 December 1, 2025, the ZAB’s decision was appealed by Weinberg, Roger & Rosenfeld on behalf of the Building and Construction Trades Council of Alameda County, AFL-CIO (“Trades Council”) and the Northern California Carpenters Regional Council (“Carpenters”) (together, “Appellants”). Appellants contend that the City should deny the Applicant’s request to use state Density Bonus Law concessions to waive compliance with the requirements of the apprenticeship requirements and health care expenditure provisions of the City’s HARDHATS Ordinance (codified at Berkeley Municipal Code Sections 13.107.040 and 13.107.050, respectively) because these concessions are noncompliant with state law. Specifically, Appellants claim (1) that these regulations are not the proper subject of concessions and, in the alternative, that

Page 675 ends

Page 2 ends

(2) they are subject to the exemption in Government Code Section 65915(d)(1)(B) because they pose a specific, adverse impact on public health and safety.

For reasons discussed further below, staff find that these concessions are appropriate and that the City cannot make the factual findings necessary to deny them.

FISCAL IMPACTS OF RECOMMENDATION
None.

CURRENT SITUATION AND ITS EFFECTS
On December 10, 2024, the applicant submitted Preliminary Use Permit application pursuant to SB330 (PLN#2024-0069).

On December 19, 2024, the applicant submitted a Use Permit application (ZP#2024- 0181).

On January 9, 2025, the applicant vested a complete Preliminary Use Permit application pursuant to SB330 (PLN#2024-0069).

On May 22, 2025, the Use Permit application was deemed complete.

On September 4, 2025, Landmarks Preservation Commission (LPC) held a public hearing on the demolition referral of the existing building to be demolished, took no action to initiate a Landmark or Structure of Merit designation and recommended that the ZAB approve the demolition.

On October 16, 2025, Design Review Committee (DRC) held a public meeting for the design review of the proposed project and provided a favorable recommendation to the ZAB with recommendations for Final Design Review.

On October 30, 2025, the City mailed public hearing notices for the scheduled Zoning Adjustments Board (ZAB) public hearing to property owners and occupants within 300 feet of the project site, as well as to interested neighborhood organizations.

On November 13, 2025, the ZAB held a public hearing for the Use Permit and received additional public comments. See Attachment 3 for the staff report submitted for ZAB consideration. Opponents raised concerns regarding the HARDHATS concessions, contending that these concessions pose specific adverse impact upon public health and safety. After considering the staff report, the administrative record, and hearing comments from staff, the applicant, and members of the public, the ZAB voted to approve the project with a 5-1-0-2 vote (Moved Sanderson, Second: Mae Palmatier.

On December 1, 2025, the Building and Construction Trades Council of Alameda County, AFL-CIO (“Trades Council”) and the Northern California Carpenters Regional Council (“Carpenters”) (together, “Appellants”), filed an appeal of the ZAB’s decision to approve the project.

BACKGROUND
The subject property is an approximately 12,385-square-foot, interior lot on the north side of the 2000-block of University Avenue, between Shattuck Avenue and Milvia Street. It is a flat, rectangular-shaped parcel, 114- feet-deep, 108 feet-wide, with street frontage facing University Avenue to the south. It includes one 9,401-square-foot, two- story non-residential building containing five commercial spaces in the front and a detached ten-car garage structure in the rear of the lot, both proposed to be demolished. A covered driveway connects the curb cut on University Avenue to the garage building in the rear. The project site is located along University Avenue, west of Shattuck Avenue within the Downtown Mixed-Use District (C-DMU), Outer Core Sub- Area, as identified in the City’s Downtown Area Plan (DAP; see Figure 1). The project site is surrounded primarily by commercial and multi-family residential/mixed-use buildings ranging in height from one story to eight stories. The project site is served by several modes of public transportation—including multiple AC Transit bus lines on University Avenue, and the Downtown Berkeley BART station, which is located 0.3 mile to the southeast of the site—as well as a nearby bike share station.

The proposed project involves demolishing an existing two-story commercial building and a ten-car garage structure to construct a 23-story residential building (256 feet tall plus a 5-foot parapet), totaling approximately 190,830 square feet. The building would contain 240 dwelling units, including 80 studios, 60 junior one-bedrooms, 60 one- bedrooms, and 40 two-bedrooms, for a total of 280 bedrooms. The project also includes 29 off-street parking spaces located on the second-floor garage, as well as a roof deck, fitness center, and lounge area on Level 23.

Project Rendering
Senate Bill 330 (Housing Crisis Act of 2019) and State Density Bonus 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 120 units. By proposing 18 very low-income (VLI) units and 18 Moderate Income (MI) units, 30% of the total base units, the project qualifies for a 100% density bonus, increasing the maximum allowable density to 120 additional units above the base density for a total of 240 dwelling units (See Table 1: Density Bonus).

Concessions are defined in Government Code Section 65915(k) as a reduction in site development standards; approval of mixed-use zoning in certain instances; or any other regulatory incentive that results in identifiable and actual cost reductions. Pursuant to California Government Code Section 65915(d)(1), the City may only deny the concession if it makes a written finding, based on substantial evidence, that the concession does not result in identifiable and actual cost reductions; the concession would have a specific adverse impact upon public health and safety 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 the concession would be contrary to state or federal law.

The project is entitled to three concessions (or incentives) under Government Code Section 65915 (d), and an unlimited number of waivers under Section 65915 (e).

1. Concession. Exemption from the “Apprenticeship Requirements” in Establishing Healthcare and Apprenticeship Standards for Private Development, as required by BMC Section 13.107.040.

2. Concession. Exemption from the “Health Care Expenditures” in Establishing Healthcare and Apprenticeship Standards for Private Development, as required by BMC Section 13.107.050.

3. Concession. Exemption from the “Bird Safe Building” requirement as required by BMC 23.304.150.

A waiver is a modification of a development standard that would otherwise physically preclude the construction of the project with the permitted density bonus and concessions. 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.

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

1. Usable Open Space. Waiver of BMC Section 23.204.140(E)(4) for providing 2,055 square feet of Usable Open Space, where 19,200 square feet is required.

2. Landscaped Usable Open Space. Waiver of BMC Section 23.304.90 for Usable Open Space landscaped area to be 27 (0.0014%) square feet where 7,680 square feet (40%) is required.

3. Height. Waiver of BMC Section 23.204.130(E)(1)(a) to exceed building height limits—to be 256 feet, plus a 5-foot parapet while 75 feet (plus 5-foot parapet by right) is the allowable height with a Use Permit.

4. Setbacks. Waiver of BMC Section 23.204.130(E) to reduce the front side setback requirement to 0 feet, where 15 feet is the minimum, between 76 to 120 feet in height.

6. Setbacks. Waiver of BMC Section 23.204.130(E) to reduce the rear setback requirement to 6.5 feet on the Floor 3-22, where 15 feet is the minimum, between 76 to 120 feet in height.

7. Setbacks. Waiver of BMC Section 23.204.130(E) to reduce the rear setback requirement to 6.5 feet on the Floor 3-22, where 15 feet is the minimum, over 120 feet in height.

9. Projections Above Height Limits. Waiver of BMC Section 23.304.050 “Allowed Projections Above Height Limit “to allow for Projections Above Height Limit (AUP).

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

I. The HARDHATS Ordinance Is The Proper Subject of Concessions under the Density Bonus Law.

As discussed above, State Density Bonus Law (SDBL) requires municipalities to award a density bonus when a developer agrees to dedicate a certain percentage of the overall units in a development to affordable housing. Developers of these projects are entitled to request a certain number of incentives or concessions, which municipalities must grant absent limited exceptions. (Gov. Code § 65915(d).) A concession or incentive is regulatory relief that a developer can use to reduce the costs of building affordable housing. (See id. § 65915(d)(1).) A concession under the SDBL can be a reduction in site development standards or a modification of zoning code requirements or architectural design requirements or approval of mixed-used zoning in compatible areas not already so zoned. (Id. § 65915(k)(1-2).) Another appropriate subject of a concession is any “other regulatory incentives or concessions proposed by the developer or the city, county, or city and county that result in identifiable and actual cost reductions to provide for affordable housing costs…” (Gov.

Code § 65915(k)(3).)
As discussed above, the Applicant has requested the following three concessions:
(1) Exemption from the “Apprenticeship Requirements” in Establishing Healthcare and Apprenticeship Standards for Private Development, as required by BMC Section 13.107.040
(2) Exemption from the “Health Care Expenditures” in Establishing Healthcare and Apprenticeship Standards for Private Development, as required by BMC Section

13.107.050
(3) Exemption from the “Bird Safe Building” as required by BMC Section 23.304.150 Appellants argue that the provisions regarding Apprenticeship Requirements (BMC Section 13.107.040) and Health Care Expenditures (BMC Section 13.107.050) are not the appropriate subject of a concession because they do not pertain to development standards. However, under the plain language of the SDBL, a concession need not be related to the physical characteristics of the development; rather, Section 65915(k)(3) is a catch-all provision that provides a concession may be a waiver of any regulation if such waiver results in identifiable and actual cost reductions to the Applicant. (See Gov.

Code § 65915(k)(3).)
Therefore, each of the concessions requested here is appropriate because each requests relief from a regulation where such relief would result in identifiable and actual cost reductions to the Applicant.

Page 683 ends

ZAB Appeal: 2029 University Avenue, Use Permit Application #ZP2024-0181 PUBLIC HEARING FEBRUARY 23, 2026

Page 10 ends

First, BMC Section 13.107.040 requires participation in qualified apprenticeship programs, which adds administrative, labor, and financial obligations beyond standard construction practices. The Applicant has reported to the City that this concession would result in cost savings of $1,893,000.

Next, BMC Section 13.107.050 requires developers to provide health care expenditures on behalf of each covered construction worker in addition to hourly wages. The Applicant has reported to the City that this concession would result in cost savings of $2,839,000.

This results in total savings of $4,732,000 for the developer. Accordingly, each of the requested concessions would result in “actual” and “identifiable” cost reductions to the Applicant.

II. None of the State Density Bonus Law Exceptions Apply.

The SDBL mandates that cities grant a requested concession or incentive, subject to the following very limited exceptions:
(A) The concession or incentive does not result in identifiable and actual cost reductions…to provide for affordable housing costs…
(B) The concession or incentive would have a specific, adverse impact, as defined in paragraph (2) of subdivision (d) of Section 65589.5, upon public health and safety… for which there is no feasible method to satisfactorily mitigate or avoid the specific, adverse impact without rendering the development unaffordable to low-income and moderate-income households.
(C) The concession or incentive would be contrary to state or federal law. (Gov. Code, § 65915(d)(1)(emphasis added).) Notably, the City “bears the burden of proof for the denial of a requested concession or incentive.” (Gov. Code § 65915(d)(4).) The Appellant asserts both that the requested concessions would not result in identifiable and actual cost reductions and that the concessions would have a specific, adverse impact upon public health and safety.

A. The City cannot show that requested concessions would not result in identifiable and actual cost reductions.

As stated above, the City could permissibly reject any of the three requested concessions upon a finding based on substantial evidence that they would not result in “identifiable and actual cost reductions.” (Gov. Code, § 65915(d)(1)(A).)

Page 10 of 238 ends

Page 684 ends

ZAB Appeal: 2029 University Avenue, Use Permit Application #ZP2024-0181 PUBLIC HEARING FEBRUARY 23, 2026

Page 11 ends

Staff advise, however, that the City cannot make this showing. Consistent with Government Code Section 65915(a)(2), subsequent to the filing of this Appeal the City requested reasonable documentation from the Applicant regarding the cost reductions that would accrue from each of the three concessions at issue. As discussed above, the information from the Applicant confirms that each of the three requested concessions would result in identifiable and actual cost reductions. The City has no information to make any findings otherwise and thus cannot make a finding based on substantial evidence that this exception applies.

B. The City cannot meet its statutory burden to show that the requested concessions would have a specific, adverse impact upon public health and safety.

Next, the City could permissibly deny the concessions if it made findings supported by substantial evidence that the concessions would have a “specific, adverse impact” upon public health and safety. (Gov. Code, § 65915(d)(1)(B).) “Specific, adverse impact” is defined as “a significant, quantifiable, direct, and unavoidable impact, based on objective, identified written public health or safety standards, policies, or conditions as they existed on the date the application was deemed complete.” (Gov. Code, § 65589.5(d)(2).) “It is the intent of the Legislature that the conditions that would have a specific, adverse impact upon the public health and safety…arise infrequently.” (Gov. Code, § 65589.5, subd. (a)(3).

Staff advise that based on this standard, Appellants have not provided adequate evidence that the concessions at issue meet the criteria for a “specific, adverse impact,” nor does the City have other sufficient evidence on which to make such a finding.

Therefore, staff advise that the City cannot make a finding based on substantial evidence that this exception applies.

For these reasons, staff recommend that the appeal be dismissed.

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
This project is categorically exempt from the provisions of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA, Public Resources Code Section 21000, et seq. and California Code of Regulations, Section 15000, et seq.) pursuant to Section 15332 (“Infill Development Project”) of the CEQA Guidelines. It is consistent with the applicable general plan designation and all applicable general plan policies as well as with applicable zoning

designation and regulations. The project site, located within city limits on fewer than five acres and surrounded by urban uses, has no habitat value for endangered, rare, or threatened species. Its approval would not cause significant impacts related to traffic, noise, air quality, or water quality, and the site can be adequately served by required utilities and public services. Furthermore, none of the CEQA Guidelines Section 15300.2 exceptions apply: the site is not in an environmentally sensitive area; cumulative impacts would not be significant; no unusual circumstances exist that would cause environmental effects; it is not near a designated scenic highway; it is not listed under Government Code Section 65962.5; and the project would not substantially affect any historical resource.

2029 UNIVERSITY AVENUE- USE PERMIT #ZP2024-0181 FINDINGS November 13, 2025 Page 4 of 9
I. CEQA FINDINGS
As required by CEQA Section 15332 (“Infill Development Project”) of the CEQA Guidelines, the ZAB finds that this project is categorically exempt from the provisions of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA, Public Resources Code Section 21000, et seq. and California Code of Regulations, Section 15000, et seq.) because:
• The project is consistent with the applicable general plan designation and all applicable general plan policies as well as with applicable zoning designation and regulations. • The project site is within city limits on a project site of fewer than five acres that is substantially surrounded by urban uses.
• The project site has no value as habitat for endangered, rare or threatened species. • Approval of the project would not result in any significant effects relating to traffic, noise, air quality, or water quality.
• The site can be adequately served by all required utilities and public services.

Additionally, none of the exceptions to eligibility for a categorical exemption as listed under CEQA Guidelines Section 15300.2, apply to the project.

Evidence: Though the project is located within the City’s Environment Management Area (EMA), which are areas in the City of Berkeley known or suspected to have groundwater contamination, it is not located in an environmentally sensitive area; the cumulative impact of successive projects of the same type in the same place over time will not be significant; there are no “unusual circumstances” at the project site that will result in significant environmental effects; there are no designated scenic highways in the City of Berkeley and the project site is not in view of a state scenic highway; the site is not included on a list compiled pursuant to Section 65962.5 of the Government Code; and the project would not result in a substantial adverse change in the significance of a historical resource.

Prior to making the CEQA determination for the project, staff reviewed all of the evidence in the record, including the project application materials, plans and technical reports including Air Quality Analysis, Noise impacts Analysis, Water Quality Memorandum, Historic Resource Evaluation and Phase I Analysis.

Historic Resource Evaluation prepared by Left Coast Architectural History, dated October 18, 2023 concluded that based on their evaluation, the property is not historically significant at either the local or State level and therefore does not qualify as a historic resource for the purposes of the California Environmental Quality Act.

II. FINDINGS FOR APPROVAL

Page 18 of 238 ends

Page 692 ends

2029 UNIVERSITY AVENUE- USE PERMIT #ZP2024-0181 FINDINGS November 13, 2025 Page 5 of 9
1) As required by BMC Section 23.406.040 (E)(1) “Findings for Approval”, the ZAB finds that the
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; Evidence: The project is consistent with all applicable C-DMU Outer Core District standards and qualifies for concessions and waivers for the listed district standards granted pursuant to State Density Bonus, Government Code, Section 65915. (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 adjacent properties, surrounding improvements, the neighborhood, or the general welfare of the city, it will enhance the immediate and surrounding areas by replacing an underutilized Housing Opportunity Site with a new development consisting of 240 units. This includes a significant affordable housing component: 18 units for Very Low-Income (VLI) households, and 18 for Moderate-Income (MI) households. By substantially increasing the housing supply and providing a range of affordability levels, the project contributes meaningfully to both local and regional housing needs. Additionally, the project complies with all applicable state and local objective planning standards.

Sunlight: The additional height above the district limits (75 feet with Use Permit plus 5 feet by-right parapet) from the density bonus will cast shadows in the affected directions further than if the project were limited to the base district height standards. The proposal will include waivers for additional height beyond the district height limits to accommodate the density bonus units and allow a 256-foot-tall (plus 5-foot parapet), 23-story building.

Overall, the shadow impacts from the project will be reasonable and not detrimental.

According to the shadow studies submitted for the project, new shadow impacts will occur:
a) in the winter months in the hours of after sunrise on the residential buildings on the north-west, around noon on the residential buildings on the north and in the hours of before sunset on the residential buildings on the north and north-east ; b) in the summer months in the hours of after sunrise on the residential buildings on the west, in the hours around noon on the residential buildings on the north and in the hours before sunset on the residential buildings on the east and southeast; and c) at the time of application preparation (March) in the hours of after sunrise on the residential buildings on the north- west, around noon on the residential buildings on the north, and in the hours of before sunset on the residential buildings on east. All other new shadows will impact non- residential buildings in the vicinity. The extent of the new shadow impact from the project on the site’s adjacent areas will be limited to a few hours of the day during certain times of the year, will not be unreasonable for a development in the dense, Downtown Area plan that allows building heights up to 120 feet with 0 to 15-foot setbacks from property lines depending on the height and distance to lot frontage.
2) As required by BMC Section 23.406.040 (E)(2) “Findings for Approval”, 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:

Page 19 of 238 ends

Page 693 ends

2029 UNIVERSITY AVENUE- USE PERMIT #ZP2024-0181 FINDINGS November 13, 2025 Page 6 of 9
a) Pursuant to BMC Section 23.326.070(D) “Demolition of Non-residential Buildings” A Use Permit or an AUP for demolition of a main building used for non-residential purposes on any lot or an accessory building located on a lot in a non-residential district may be approved only if the ZAB or the Zoning Officer finds that:

1. The demolition will not be materially detrimental to the commercial needs and public interest of any affected neighborhood or the City of Berkeley; and

2. The demolition:
(a) Is required to allow a proposed new building or other proposed new use; (b) Will remove a building which is unusable for activities which are compatible with the purposes of the district in which it is located or which is infeasible to modify for such uses;
(c) Will remove a structure which represents an uninhabitable attractive nuisance to the public; or
(d) Is required for the furtherance of specific plans or projects sponsored by the City of Berkeley or other local district or authority upon a demonstration by the applicant that it would be infeasible to obtain prior or concurrent approval for the new construction or new use. (Ord. 7924-NS § 1, 2024: Ord. 7787-NS § 2 (Exh. A), 2021) Evidence: The proposed demolition is necessary to facilitate the construction of a new residential development consisting of 240 units on a designated Opportunity Site. This new use supports the City of Berkeley’s housing goals and aligns with the public interest by contributing to the supply of housing in a high-priority area. The existing structure must be removed to accommodate the proposed project, satisfying the requirement that demolition is necessary to allow a new building or use, as outlined in Section

23.326.070(D)(2)(a).
b) As required by Government Code Section 65915 (State Density Bonus), the Zoning Adjustments Board finds that:

Under the City’s methodology for implementing density bonuses, the base project consists of 120 units. The project will provide at least and 18 Very Low-Income (VLI) and 18 Moderate-Income (MI) BMR units on site qualifying units in the 120-unit base project, as more fully set forth in Condition “Number of Below Market Rate Units”. 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 100% or 120 units above the base project, for a total of up to 240 units. i. 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:

Page 20 of 238 ends

Page 694 ends

2029 UNIVERSITY AVENUE- USE PERMIT #ZP2024-0181 FINDINGS November 13, 2025 Page 7 of 9
 Concession 1. Exemption from the “Apprenticeship Requirements” in establishing Healthcare and Apprenticeship Standards for Private Development, as required by BMC Section 13.107.040
 Concession 2. Exemption from the “Health Care Expenditures” in establishing Healthcare and Apprenticeship Standards for Private Development, as required by BMC Section 13.107.050
 Concession 3. Exemption from the “Bird Safe Building” requirement as required by BMC 23.304.150
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 grants the following concessions and 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.
ii. 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.
 Usable Open Space. Waiver of BMC Section 23.204.140(E)(4) for providing 2,055 square feet of Usable Open Space, where 19,200 square feet is required.
 Landscaped Usable Open Space. Waiver of BMC Section 23.304.90 for Usable Open Space landscaped area to be 27(0.0014%) square feet where 7,680 square feet (40%) is required.
 Height. Waiver of BMC Section 23.204130(E)(1)(a) to exceed building height limits—to be 256 feet, plus a 5-foot parapet while 75 ft. (plus 5-foot parapet by right) is the allowable height with a Use Permit.  Setbacks. Waiver of BMC Section 23.204.130(E) to reduce the front side setback requirement to 0 feet, where 15 feet is the minimum, between 76 to 120 in height.
 Setbacks. Waiver of BMC Section 23.204.130(E) to reduce the interior side setback requirement on the Floors 3 to 22 to 10 feet, where 15 feet is the minimum, between 76 to 120 feet over 65 feet from lot frontage.  Setbacks. Waiver of BMC Section 23.204.130(E) to reduce the rear setback requirement to 6.5 feet on the Floor 3-22, where 15 feet is the minimum, between 76 to 120 feet in height.
 Setbacks. Waiver of BMC Section 23.204.130(E) to reduce the rear setback requirement to 6.5 feet on the Floor 3-22, where 15 feet is the minimum, over 120 feet in height.
 Building’s width. Waiver of BMC Section 23.204.130(E)(3)(d) for the building’s width over 120 feet of height, to be 139’-6” at the widest point

Page 695 ends

2029 UNIVERSITY AVENUE- USE PERMIT #ZP2024-0181 FINDINGS November 13, 2025 Page 8 of 9
(on the diagonal in plan review) where maximum width allowed is 120 feet.
 Projections Above Height Limits. Waiver of BMC Section 23. 304.050 “Allowed Projections Above Height Limit “to allow for Projections Above Height Limit (AUP)
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. c) As required by the Housing Accountability Act, Government Code Section 65589.5(j), when a proposed 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 “housing development project” with at least two-thirds of the floor area in residential use. Because the 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.
3) As required by BMC Section 23.406.040 (E)(3) “Findings for Approval”, the ZAB considers the following (a and b) in making findings:
(a) The proposed land use
Evidence: The proposed land use meets the findings for approval because the project’s residential use is consistent with the purposes of the Downtown Mixed-Use areas as outlined in the General Plan’s Land Use Element. This identifies the need to provide high-density residential development and residential units to meet the housing needs of the City of Berkeley on a transit-served site contributing to local and regional housing needs 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 a twenty three-story residential project with its compliant Base Project with the undelaying zoning standards will accommodate the use

Page 22 of 238 ends

Page 696 ends

2029 UNIVERSITY AVENUE- USE PERMIT #ZP2024-0181 FINDINGS November 13, 2025 Page 9 of 9
because it will fulfill both the district purposes and contribute to local and regional housing needs and is consistent with the development standards of the C-DMU zoning district.
4) As required by BMC Section 23.406.040 (E)(4) “Findings for Approval”, the ZAB makes the required findings based on the circumstances existing at the time a decision is made on the application.

Evidence: The application has been reviewed based on the current zoning standards, general plan policies, environmental conditions, and site context as of the date of the decision. The project is consistent with the allowed uses outlined in the C-DMU zone.

Surrounding land uses and structures surrounding the site are based on current information.
5) As required by BMC Section 23.406.040 (E)(5) “Findings for Approval”, the ZAB shall deny a Use Permit application if it determines that it is unable to make any of the required findings
Evidence: This finding does not apply because
all required findings can be made based
on submitted application material, documents and staff analysis.

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)):

A. This Permit authorizes only the proposed project described in the application. In no way does an approval authorize other uses, structures or activities not included in the project description.

B. When the City approves a new use that replaces an existing use, any prior approval of the existing use becomes null and void when permits for the new use are exercised (e.g., building permit or business license issued). To re-establish the previously existing use, an applicant must obtain all permits required by the Zoning Ordinance for the use.

4. Conformance to Approved Plans (BMC Section 23.404.060(B)(4)).

All work performed under an approved permit shall comply with the approved plans and any conditions of approval.

5. Exercise and Expiration of Permits (BMC Section 23.404.060(C)):

A. A permit authorizing a land use is exercised when both a valid City business license is issued (if required) and the land use is established on the property.

B. A permit authorizing construction is exercised when both a valid City building permit (if required) is issued and construction has lawfully begun.

C. The Zoning Officer may declare a permit lapsed if it is not exercised within one year of its issuance, except if the applicant has applied for a building permit or has made a substantial good faith effort to obtain a building permit and begin construction. The Zoning Officer may declare a permit lapsed only after 14 days written notice to the applicant. A determination that a permit has lapsed may be appealed to the ZAB in accordance with BMC Chapter 23.410, Appeals and Certification.

47.Avoid Disturbance of Nesting Birds. Initial site disturbance activities, including vegetation and concrete removal, shall be prohibited during the general avian nesting season (February 1 to August 30), if feasible. If nesting season avoidance is not feasible, the applicant shall retain a qualified biologist to conduct a preconstruction nesting bird survey to determine the presence/absence, location, and activity status of any active nests on or adjacent to the project site. The extent of the survey buffer area surrounding the site shall be established by the qualified biologist to ensure that direct and indirect effects to nesting birds are avoided. To avoid the destruction of active nests and to protect the reproductive success of birds protected by the MBTA and CFGC, nesting bird surveys shall be performed not more than 14 days prior to scheduled vegetation and concrete removal.

In the event that active nests are discovered, a suitable buffer (typically a minimum buffer of 50 feet for passerines and a minimum buffer of 250 feet for raptors) shall be established around such active nests and no construction shall be allowed inside the buffer areas until a qualified biologist has determined that the nest is no longer active (e.g., the nestlings have fledged and are no longer reliant on the nest). No ground-disturbing activities shall occur within this buffer until the qualified biologist has confirmed that breeding/nesting is completed and the young have fledged the nest. Nesting bird surveys are not required for construction activities occurring between August 31 and January 31.

48.Archaeological Resources (Ongoing throughout demolition, grading, and/or construction). Pursuant to CEQA Guidelines section 15064.5(f), “provisions for historical or unique archaeological resources accidentally discovered during construction” should be instituted. Therefore:

A. In the event that any prehistoric or historic subsurface cultural resources are discovered during ground disturbing activities, all work within 50 feet of the resources shall be halted and the project applicant and/or lead agency shall consult with a qualified archaeologist, historian or paleontologist to assess the significance of the find.

B. If any find is determined to be significant, representatives of the project proponent and/or lead agency and the qualified professional would meet to determine the appropriate avoidance measures or other appropriate measure, with the ultimate determination to be made by the City of Berkeley. All significant cultural materials recovered shall be subject to scientific analysis, professional museum curation, and/or a report prepared by the qualified professional according to current professional standards.

C. In considering any suggested measure proposed by the qualified professional, the project applicant shall determine whether avoidance is necessary or feasible in light of factors such as the uniqueness of the find, project design, costs, and other considerations.

D. If avoidance is unnecessary or infeasible, other appropriate measures (e.g., data recovery) shall be instituted. Work may proceed on other parts of the project site while mitigation measures for cultural resources is carried out.

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

49. 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.

50.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.

51.Archeological Resources (Ongoing throughout demolition, grading, and/or construction).

A. Qualified Archeologist. The project applicant shall retain a qualified archeologist prior to excavations or ground disturbance that will exceed three feet in depth. The Qualified Paleontologist shall direct all mitigation measures related to paleontological resources. A qualified professional archeologist is defined by the SVP standards as an individual preferably with an M.S. or Ph.D. in paleontology or geology who is experienced with paleontological procedures and techniques, who is knowledgeable in the geology of California, and who has worked as a paleontological mitigation project supervisor for a least two years (SVP 2010).

B. Worker Environmental Awareness Program (WEAP). Prior to ground disturbance, the applicant shall incorporate information on archeological resources into the Project’s Worker Environmental Awareness Training (WEAP) materials, or a stand-alone Archeological Resources WEAP shall be submitted to the Department of Planning and Development at the City of Berkeley. The qualified paleontologist or his or her designee shall conduct training for construction personnel regarding the appearance of fossils and the procedures for notifying archeological staff should fossils be discovered by construction staff. The Archeological WEAP training shall be fulfilled simultaneously with the overall WEAP training, or at the first preconstruction meeting at which a qualified archeologist attends prior to ground disturbance. Printed literature (handouts) shall accompany the initial training.

2029 UNIVERSITY AVENUE- USE PERMIT #ZP2024-0181 USE PERMIT CONDITIONS November 13 Page 21 of 27
File location: G:\LANDUSE\Projects by Address\University\2029\ZP2024-0181_Multifamily\5-FINAL PUBLIC REPORTS + ATTACHMENTS [WORD] Following the initial WEAP training, all new workers and contractors must be trained prior to conducting ground disturbance work.

C. Archeological Monitoring. The extent of required archeological monitoring for the project shall be determined by the qualified archeologist based on an evaluation of the previously undisturbed geologic units exposed during ground disturbing activity. The Qualified Archeologist shall conduct and initial spot check and evaluation of geologic conditions for ground disturbing activity for excavations between 5-10 feet below ground surface (BGS).

The evaluation shall be based on field evidence including lithology of geologic units and results of micro-screening or other inspections for fossil resources. If the archeologist determines that geologic units exposed between 5-10 feet BGS have high archeological sensitivity, then full-time monitoring shall be conducted for the duration of ground disturbing activity. If sediments between 5-10 feet BGS are determined to not be archeological sensitive, spot checks should be conducted again for ground disturbance between 10-15 feet BGS and again for ground disturbance between 15-20 feet BGS, and again to the full depth of ground disturbance. If spot checks indicate low or no archeological sensitivity, or if full time monitoring results in no fossil discoveries once the full depth of ground disturbance has been reached, archeological monitoring can be discontinued for the remainder of project activity. Monitoring shall be reinstated if any new ground disturbances are required to depths exceeding previous depths of previous work, and reduction or suspension shall be reconsidered by the Qualified Archeologist at that time.

D. In the event of a fossil discovery by the archeological monitor or construction personnel, all work in the immediate vicinity of the find shall cease. A Qualified Archeologist 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 Archeologist shall complete the following conditions to mitigate impacts to significant fossil resources:
1) Salvage of Fossils. If fossils are discovered, the archeological monitor shall have the authority to halt or temporarily divert construction equipment within 50 feet of the find until the monitor and/or lead archeologist evaluate the discovery and determine if the fossil may be considered significant. Typically, fossils can be safely salvaged quickly by a single archeologist and not disrupt construction activity. In some cases, larger fossils (such as complete skeletons or large mammal fossils) require more extensive excavation and longer salvage periods. In this case, the Construction Contractor may be requested to supply heavy equipment and an operator to assist in the rapid removal of a large fossil specimen(s) or sediment sample(s). Bulk matrix sampling may be necessary to recover small invertebrates or micro-vertebrates from within archeologically- sensitive Quaternary alluvial deposits.
2) Preparation and Curation of Recovered Fossils. Once salvaged, significant fossils shall be identified to the lowest possible taxonomic level, prepared to a curation-ready condition, and curated in a scientific institution with a permanent archeological collection (such as the UCMP), along with all pertinent field notes, photos, data, and maps. Fossils of undetermined significance at the time of collection may also warrant curation at the discretion of the Qualified Archeologist.

E. Final Archeological Mitigation Report. Upon completion of ground disturbing activity (and curation of fossils if necessary) the Qualified Archeologist shall prepare a final report describing the results of the archeological monitoring efforts associated with the project. The

The report shall be submitted to the Department of Planning and Development at the City of Berkeley. If the monitoring efforts produced fossils, then a copy of the report shall also be submitted to the designated museum repository.

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:
