“Provide a safe and reliable transportation network that serves all people and respects the environment” the IS/MND, this project is found to have a less than significant VMT impact, therefore working towards meeting the State’s VMT reduction goals.
Construction-Related Impacts
Project work that requires movement of oversized or excessive load vehicles on State roadways requires a transportation permit that is issued by Caltrans. To apply, please visit Caltrans Transportation Permits (link). Prior to construction, coordination may be required with Caltrans to develop a Transportation Management Plan (TMP) to reduce construction traffic impacts to the State Transportation Network (STN).
Equitable Access
If any Caltrans facilities are impacted by the project, those facilities must meet American Disabilities Act (ADA) Standards after project completion. As well, the project must maintain bicycle and pedestrian access during construction. These access considerations support Caltrans’ equity mission to provide a safe, sustainable, and equitable transportation network for all users.
Encroachment Permit
Please be advised that any permanent work or temporary traffic control that encroaches onto Caltrans’ Right-of-Way (ROW) requires a Caltrans-issued encroachment permit. As part of the encroachment permit submittal process, you may be asked by the Office of Encroachment Permits to submit a completed encroachment permit application package, digital set of plans clearly delineating Caltrans’ ROW, digital copy of signed, dated and stamped (include stamp expiration date) traffic control plans, this comment letter, your response to the comment letter, and where applicable, the following items: new or amended Maintenance Agreement (MA), approved Design Standard Decision Document (DSDD), approved encroachment exception request, and/or airspace lease agreement.
The checklist TR-0416 (link) is used to determine the appropriate Caltrans review process for encroachment projects. The Office of Encroachment Permit requires 100% complete design plans and supporting documents to review and circulate the permit application package. To obtain more information and download the permit application, please visit Caltrans Encroachment Permits (link). Your application package may be emailed to [email protected].
Thank you again for including Caltrans in the environmental review process. Should you have any questions regarding this letter, please contact Marley Mathews, Transportation Planner, via [email protected].

Hi Susan,
The Santa Clara Valley Water District (Valley Water) has reviewed the draft Initial Study/Mitigated Negative Declaration (IS/MND) for the Lawrence Mitty Park and Trail project (Project) and has the following comments:
1) The Project appears within the Valley Habitat Plan (VHP) according to Valley Water GIS files. The VHP is not discussed in the report and the Project may require VHP permits. 2) The list of special status species that were removed from consideration are not provided.
Species-specific reasoning for removal should be included. 3) Existing understory habitats are comprised of mostly non-native and invasive species, which should be added to the understory habitat descriptions. 4) Page 4 of the Biological Constraints Analysis (BCA, page 36 of the pdf) states that candidate species under CESA in the biological resources considered section, were not included. This report was finalized in 2022, however there are now several CA candidate species that should be considered as the Project moves forward with permitting. 5) Very few wildlife species were analyzed in the BCA. Species included were CCC steelhead, California red-legged frog, yellow warbler, southwestern pond turtle, and SF dusky-footed woodrat. Nesting birds and bat roosts were also considered. Numerous additional special status species and candidate species for CA listing should have been analyzed even if they were then determined to be unlikely or absent (e.g. additional special status birds, special status bats such as western red bat, and special status fish such as southern coastal roach). Several additional species listed in the US Fish and Wildlife Service IPac should be considered. Additionally, this report is 2 years old and candidate species such as Monarch butterfly and Crotch’s bumble bee should be analyzed in future permitting.
6) Valley Water has detected western pond turtle (WPT) along Saratoga Creek upstream of this project site. Under the WPT section it states that the nearest WPT detections were
6.5 and 9 miles north of the project area on San Tomas Aquino Creek. Valley Water biologists observed WPT basking along stream banks of Saratoga Creek about 1.9 miles south of the project area in January 2024. The report states “It is highly unlikely that pond turtles would disperse into the study area due to the greater than 6-mile distance separating the site from the nearest recorded occurrence… Nonetheless, this species may occur elsewhere in Saratoga Creek (e.g. upstream), thus; it is possible that an individual could occasionally disperse into the study area.” This language addresses the potential for WPT to occur upstream, but it would be best to share Valley Water’s known WPT upstream occurrence with the project team.

7) Valley Water has no right of way or facilities in this parcel. The project is in FEMA Flood Zone D which include areas where there are possible but undetermined flood hazards or unstudied areas.
8) The Project is adjacent to Saratoga Creek where Valley Water has a flood control easement. Project development should follow the design guides in Guidelines and Standards for Land Use Near Streams, adopted by the City of Cupertino.

Responses to Comment Letter 2: Valley Water
Response to Comment 2-1: Comment noted. The project would not be covered under the Valley Habitat Plan (VHP) because the City of Cupertino has annexed the site from the City of San Jose, and the City of Cupertino is not a participating agency in the VHP. Only participating agencies are covered under the VHP.
Additionally, even though Valley Water is a participating agency in the VHP, we do not believe that there would be a nexus for participation because there is no Valley Water right-of-way on the project site. Thus, no revisions to the IS/MND related to this comment are warranted.
Response to Comment 2-2: Comment noted. A brief discussion of special-status plant species considered in the Biological Constraints Report (BCR) was included on page 54 of the IS/MND.
The discussion in the BCR with the reasoning used to discount special-status animals has been added to the IS/MND. Please see the following Errata section.
Response to Comment 2-3: Comment noted. Discussions of the existing habitats (Mixed Oak Forest and Woodland Alliance, Coast Love Oak Woodland and Forest Alliance, and Developed) list several non-native and invasive species that are present in each of these habitats but does not call them out as such. See pages 44 – 46 of the IS/MND. We have added sentences at the end of the Mixed Oak Forest and Woodland Alliance and Coast Live Oak Woodland and Forest Alliance discussions in the Errata stating that most of the understory species are non-native and invasive species. Please see the following Errata section.
Response to Comment 2-4: Comment noted. Candidate species under CESA and FESA were considered in the BCR; however, a bullet item stating that they were considered was erroneously left out of the “Biological resources that were considered for this analysis“ section, which starts on page 3 of the BCR.
We agree that the status of some of the species that were considered in the IS/MND have changed. The species that was addressed in the IS/MND, based on the BCR and whose status has changed since the BCR was prepared is the southwestern pond turtle. The southwestern pond had no federal status when the BCR was prepared. We recognize that the turtle is now a federal candidate for listing under the Federal Endangered Species Act (FESA) and it is still a California species of special concern. We agree that this newly-petitioned candidate species and potentially other new candidate species should be considered as the project moves 1181

forward with permitting. An updated Biological Resources Report will be prepared to support the permit applications.
Response to Comment 2-5: Comment noted. As stated in Response to Comment 2-4, the BCR will be revised to include additional species whose status has changed prior to filing the permit applications. Regarding other species mentioned by the commentor, the analysis contained in Chapter 3.4 Biological Resources correctly focused on impacts and mitigation for the species that were most likely to occur on the site and/or be impacted by the project, based on our research and corroborated by our field investigation. An updated Biological Resources Report will be prepared to support the permit applications.
Response to Comment 2-6: Comment noted. We agree that Valley Water’s recent observations of the western pond turtle should be included in the language that addresses the western pond turtle. We have added that information and a new reference. Please see the following Errata section.
Response to Comment 2-7: Comment noted. Section 3.10.1 of the Initial Study/MND describes the project site as being located outside the limits of the 100-year flood plain, and designated as being within Zone D (Area of Undetermined Flood Hazard). References to Valley Water’s ownership of property or facilities have been deleted. Please see the following Errata section.
Response to Comment 2-8: Comment noted. Chapter 3.4.3 Impact Discussion of the Initial Study/MND has been revised to include a discussion of Valley Water’s Guidelines and Standards for Land Use Near Streams. Please see the following Errata section.

Dear Susan:
Thank you for the opportunity to comment on the Draft MND for the Lawrence Mitty Park and Trail Project. I have reviewed the draft and would like to submit comment regarding existing multimodal access and pedestrian safety (Section 3.17.1 Environmental Setting). Archbishop Mitty High School opened at the 5000 Mitty Way site in the Fall of 1964 to 164 boys. We now educate over 1700 young men and women daily in the tradition of Catholic education and have built a robust campus environment that services students and their families all day on every day of the week.
The addition of the Lawrence Mitty Park and Trail Project is exciting for the neighborhood and we are in great support of the goals set forth in the project. As part of our own campus master planning activities, we are continuing to evaluate bicycle and pedestrian safety for our students and would be open to discussing increased mitigation efforts for the crosswalks, particularly at Lawrence Expressway and Mitty Way, as well as, Lawrence Expressway and Moorpark Avenue/Bollinger Road. With more proposed commercial and residential developments in the area, we anticipate increased car traffic on Lawrence Expressway, and have concern about bicycle and pedestrian safety for those families and residents who wish to access the trail park from the East side of Lawrence Expressway.
Please do not hesitate to engage us to discuss opportunities for partnership or advocacy. We are interested in working together to ensure the safest bicycle and pedestrian access routes for our students, families, and local neighborhood residents.
Sincerely,
Latanya Hilton
President

Responses to Comment Letter 3: Archbishop Mitty High School Response to Comment 3-1: Comment Noted. The Initial Study/MND does not identify any potentially significant impacts requiring mitigation related to bicycle and pedestrian safety that would result from implementation of the proposed park and trail project. Any modifications to the existing crosswalks at the intersections of Lawrence Expressway and Mitty Way or Lawrence Expressway and Moorpark Avenue/Bollinger Road to improve bicycle and pedestrian safety would need to be facilitated by the Santa Clara County Roads and Airports Division and City of San Jose, who are responsible for the maintenance and improvement of these roads. 1184

RE:Lawrence Mitty Park & Trail Project
Dear Ms. Michael,
I am writing to detail 3 points that concern me about the above-mentioned project. My family has lived on Sterling Blvd @ Barnhart, since 1954. (Original Rancho Rinconada buyer) The proposed project would be just across the creeki from the family home. My Two Brothers live in that residence(10510 Sterling Blvd and I am the Trustee of the Dorothy M. Danielson Trust, and control the property.
My Three areas of concern are:
l) The Highway & Aiirports Dept. has parked and operated heavy equipment on this site for many years.Anyone who has ever looked where tractors and heavy trucks parky has seen the ground discoloration and evidence of fluid leakages.
seen many potentially viable projects of this nature
the site ends up being a glorified "Dog Park. " As
concernedi a dog owner better have their animal on a
they can stop by, but then move on - not "take over
wieh canines running wild.
2 ) I have
ruinedi when
far as I'm
leash, and
the area"
30 PARKING ISSUES - As there seems to be only one way to access this proposed development (the Bridge by Sterling Barnhart Park) What plans are being made to mitigate the influx of carsi into an already impacted Sterling Blvd area? I wrote to the City yrs. aqoi when Sterling-Barnhart park was proposed. I inquuired about parking impact. The response was that "everyone" would walk there. (The City then rushed out and ,oainted the curb Red by the park ! )

Responses to Comment Letter 4: Russ Danielson
Response to Comment 4-1: The Initial Study/MND includes review and analyses of existing hazardous materials conditions at the site, as well analyses of potential impacts based on the findings and recommendations of technical reports prepared for the site by Cornerstone Earth Group (Cornerstone). The reports included a Phase I Environmental Site Assessment Update and Phase II Soil Quality Evaluation dated February 25, 2022, which were included in Appendix C. The report updates the Phase I ESA and Preliminary Soil Quality Evaluation that Cornerstone prepared previously for the site, dated April 18, 2016.
Cornerstone collected soil samples from areas of the site containing construction and demolition waste piles, and from an area of the site where a suspected truck wash was located. Analyses of samples of the construction and demolition waste did not detect organochlorine pesticides at concentrations exceeding residential screening levels, and no polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs), volatile organic compounds (VOCs) or total petroleum hydrocarbons as gasoline (TPHg) were detected. Additionally, the detected metals concentrations appeared to be typical of natural background concentrations. Analyses of a sample collected from sediments within the gravel in the suspected truck wash location detected total petroleum hydrocarbons as oil (TPHo) at 340 milligrams per kilogram (mg/kg), which does not exceed the RWQCB’s current Environmental Screening Level (ESL) for TPHo of 1,600 mg/kg. The detected metal concentrations in the analysis appeared to be typical of natural background concentrations, and no VOCs were detected. Based on these test results, the Initial Study/MND concluded that the impact was less than significant with regard to significant hazard to the public or the environment through reasonably foreseeable upset and accident conditions involving the release of hazardous materials into the environment.
Response to Comment 4-2: This is a comment on the merits of the proposed Park and trail project and not on the adequacy of the Initial Study/MND, and does not raise any significant environmental issues. No further response is required.
Inclusion of these comments in this Final Initial Study/MND Memo will make the commentor's views available to the City of Cupertino City Council, and other public officials who will make decisions about the proposed project.
Response to Comment 4-3: As described in the document, the project, which is designed as a component of the existing San Tomas Aquino/Saratoga Creek Trail, provides no on-site parking and no direct vehicular access to the proposed park or trail. Visitors accessing the park by vehicle would need to park on the adjacent 1186

public streets near Sterling Barnhart Park or in the neighborhood east of Lawrence Expressway across from the site, and use the existing bicycle/pedestrian access paths – the bridge from Sterling Barnhart Park and crosswalk on Lawrence Expressway at Mitty Way - to get to the park and trail.
Per the CEQA Guidelines, the Initial Study/MND is not required to analyze parking, and consequently does not include thresholds of significance for parking. The assessment prepared by Hexagon Transportation Consultants for the project therefore focused on potential impacts related to the CEQA Guidelines mandated issues of Vehicle Miles Traveled VMT, multimodal access, and pedestrian safety. 1187

Subject: IS/MND Comments Re: CEQA for Lawrence-Mitty
Hi Susan,
If there is an email we should be addressing our comments to, please let us know where to forward comments moving forward.
I have attached pages from the Cornerstone Earth Group Site Plan showing the various soil samples taken, and the tables of the soil sample data provided, but several samples were not included as noted below. I am also concerned about the lead screening level selected given that this is parkland, and I have included the same screening level tables used in the report as an attachment.
1. I have a question on where to locate/please provide the soil sample data for the following soil samples:
SS-2
SS-3
SS-7
SS-8
SS-10
SS-11
SS-14
Theses samples were from 2022.
2. I would like the 2016 referenced SP sample data as well:
SP-1 through SP-6 data were not included in the report.
3. The Cornerstone report uses a lead screening level of 80 mg/kg. See PDF 9 of 16 of the attached ESLs. I would like to understand why such a high level was selected, even higher than the terrestrial screening level which has parkland as an example: 32 mg/kg. Since this is vegetated parkland space, it seems the lower level would be more appropriate. What is the rationale for having such a high lead screening level, or may it be lowered to the Terrestrial level to provide a safer environment? Terrestrial is defined as: “Terrestrial Ecological Impacts: Address potential toxicity to terrestrial flora and fauna. For use in developed urban areas only.” Thank you,
Kitty Moore

Abbreviations:
Canc - Cancer
Contam - Contamination
DDD - Dichlorodiphenyldichloroethane
DDE - Dichlorodiphenyldichloroethene
DDT - Dichlorodiphenyltrichloroethane
HOPs - Hydrocarbon Oxidation Products (biodegradation metabolites and photo-oxidation products of petroleum hydrocarbons). See User's Guide Chapter 4 for further information.
MCL - Maximum Contaminant Level
NC - Noncancer
Odor/Nuis - Odor Nuisance
PAH - Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon
Tap - Tapwater
TCDD - Tetrachlorodibenzodioxin
- Petroleum Motor Oil is composed of large carbon chain compounds (C24-C36+) having negligible solubility. Detections in water samples typically are Petroleum HOPs, nonaqueous phase liquid (NAPL or free product), contaminated sediment entrained in the water sample, or naturally occurring compounds. Review the chromatograms to help determine the nature of the compounds being detected. See User's Guide Chapter 4. 4 of 4 GW Summary

Responses to Comment Letter 5: Kitty Moore
Response to Comment 5-1: The soil sample data for Samples SS2, SS-3, SS-7, SS-8, SS-10, SS-11 and SS-14 were presented in the Phase I Environmental Site Assessment (ESA) prepared for the site by Cornerstone Earth Group (Cornerstone) in 2016, and not the February 25, 2022 Report as noted by the commentor. These samples were found to all be below their respective ESLs for metals, pesticides and PCBs. The 2016 Phase I ESA report was summarized in, but not included in full as an attachment in the Phase I ESA Update and Phase II Soil Quality Evaluation prepared for the project by Cornerstone, dated February 25, 2022, and attached to the IS/MND as Appendix C.
The results of the 2016 Phase I ESA were summarized in the 2022 ESA Update report, but the 2016 ESA report itself was not included. Sample SS-11 was discussed in the summary analysis of soil quality in the 2022 report because the Water Board’s Tier 1 screening ESL for one of the contaminants (TPHo) in the suspected truck wash area had changed since the 2016 report. The ESL had increased from 100 to 1,600 mg/kg, so Cornerstone’s finding had changed form above the threshold to below the threshold. No other samples from the 2016 Phase I ESA were specifically mentioned.
Response to Comment 5-2: As stated in the response to the previous comment, the Phase I ESA prepared for the site by Cornerstone in 2016 was not included in or appended to the 2022 report. However, the summary analysis of soil quality in the 2022 report discusses the results of the sampling from the 2016 report, which included samples collected from the suspected truck wash location and construction and demolition waste piles. These areas of the site are where the SP samples (including SP-1 through SP-6) were taken from. The 2022 report concluded that organochlorine pesticides were not detected in the soil samples at concentrations exceeding residential screening levels, and that no PCBs, volatile organics compounds or total petroleum hydrocarbons as gasoline were detected.
In addition, the detected metals concentrations in these samples appeared typical of natural background concentrations. Since the focus of the 2022 report was the lead-contaminated soils located closer to the Lawrence Expressway side of the project site, no further analysis of these samples was included in the 2022 report.
Response to Comment 5-3: As described in the 2022 Cornerstone report, no screening levels are published for properties used for park or recreational purposes. The available screening levels are based on potential health risks and exposure assumptions in residential and commercial settings. Exposure 1214

assumptions for park users would be different from residential and commercial users. For example, the anticipated length of time that a park visitor would be exposed to impacted soil in a park setting would be less than the duration of exposure in a residential setting. Thus, the residential screening levels may be lower than what is adequate to protect human health in a park setting.
Given the short duration of time that park visitors are expected to be present within the planned park, it is Cornerstone’s opinion that the observed lead concentrations do not pose a significant risk to human health under the planned land use scenario.
The statistical analysis of the lead data, borne out by the sampling, shows that soil quality at the site is not significantly impacted by lead with the exception of a thin strip (less than approximately 20 feet wide) of shallow soil (upper approximate 1 to 2 feet) along the easter property boundary adjacent to Lawrence Expressway.
The project includes the excavation and off-haul of the lead-contaminated soil to a depth of approximately one foot in some portions of the site and disposal at an appropriately permitted facility. Other portions of the site with lead contamination such as the proposed berm areas, are proposed to be capped with a minimum 2- foot layer of clean soil. The City will seek regulatory oversight from an appropriate agency, such as the Santa Clara County Department of Environmental Health to oversee and approve the satisfactory handling and removal and capping of the lead impacted soil.

Mixed Oak Forest and Woodland Alliance
Mixed oak forest and woodland alliance vegetation community occurs along Saratoga Creek. Within the study area, the riparian habitat is composed entirely of this vegetation community as the individual trees are either rooted below the top of bank of Saratoga Creek or just at the top of the creek bank and have a tree canopy that overhangs the stream channel (Appendix B, Photos 1 and 2 of the BCA). This community also overhangs portions of a berm along the east side of the creek, both in the northern portion of the study area (Appendix B Photo 2 and 3 of the BCA) and the southern portion of the study area (Appendix B Photo 4 of the BCA). The berm is sparsely to heavily vegetated with trees and shrubs, and in some areas, it defines the top of bank of the creek. Within this natural community, valley oak (Quercus lobata), coast live oak (Quercus agrifolia), and California sycamore (Platanus occidentalis) are co-dominant. Other trees present include blue gum eucalyptus (Eucalyptus globulous), elderberry (Sambucus sp.), arroyo willow (Salix lasiolepis), red willow (Salix laevigata), glossy privet (Ligustrum lucidum), and shamel ash (Fraxinus uhdei). These trees form a nearly continuous canopy, except in the southern portion of the creek and the engineered portions of the creek where bank stabilizing structures (e.g., gabions) are present. The understory consists of a combination of shrubs and herbaceous species, including Himalayan blackberry (Rubus armeniacus), English ivy (Hedera helix), castor bean (Ricinus communis), French broom (Genista monspessulana), periwinkle (Vinca minor), mugwort (Artemesia vulgaris), and horehound (Marrubium vulgare), and grasses including smilo grass (Stipa miliacea). With exception of mugwort, most of the understory species are non-native and some may be classified as invasive species. 1216

The Coast Live Oak Woodland and Forest Alliance
The Coast Live Oak Woodland and Forest Alliance vegetation community is located adjacent to most of the riparian community and extends to the eastern edge of the study area. Although this plant community is located adjacent to the riparian community, it is differentiated from the riparian community where there is a break in the tree canopy. Thus, this plant community is not part of the riparian community. The community is dominated by mature coast live oak trees. Other trees present included California buckeye (Aesculus californica), toyon (Heteromeles arbutifolia), Monterey pine (Pinus radiata), and strawberry tree (Arbutus unedo). This community forms a mix of continuous canopy to areas with sparser canopy (Appendix B. Photo 5 of the BCA). The understory is open and sparsely vegetated with a variety of native and non-native shrubs, including holly oak (Quercus ilex) and coyote brush (Baccharis pilularis); and herbaceous vegetation including Himalayan blackberry, French broom, fennel (Foeniculum vulgare), milk thistle (Silybum marianum), wild mustard (Hirschfeldia incana), Spanish broom (Cytisus multiflorus), and Mexican sage (Salvia longistyla); and grasses including smilo grass, and ripgut brome (Bromus diandrus). With exception of coyote bush, most of the understory species are non-native and some may be classified as invasive species.
Animals header and before Less than Significant with Mitigation discussion.
Based on a review of the USFWS and CNDDB databases (IPac 2022, CNDDB 2022) and other data sources, and an assessment of the habitats within the study area, several special-status species occur within the study area region. Three of those species, northwestern pond turtle (Actinemys marmorata), yellow warbler (Setophaga petechia), and San Francisco dusky-footed woodrat have some potential to occur within the study area. However, most of the species that were considered in this analysis are not expected to occur within the study area due to the lack of suitable habitat (e.g., grassland, marsh, serpentine, perennial stream), the site is outside the range of the species, and/or it is isolated from the nearest known extant population by development or otherwise unsuitable habitat. Species 1217

considered for occurrence, because potentially suitable habitat is present, but determined to have no potential to occur within the study area are the Central California Coast steelhead (Oncorhynchus mykiss irideus) and California red-legged frog (Rana draytonii). Those species considered for occurrence and the reasons they were determined to occur or not occur are discussed below.
Saratoga Creek is an intermittent stream and was dry at the time of the survey. Southwestern pond turtles are not expected to be present in the creek due to the lack of emergent vegetation and lack of upland breeding habitat along the stretch of the creek. However, the creek may provide potential dispersal habitat for turtles in years when water is present for sufficient periods of time. Pond turtles are not known to occur within the study area but have been documented in San TomasAquino Creek, near the confluence with Calabazas Creek, and in San Tomas-Aquino Creek, approximately 6.5 and nine miles north of the study area (CNDDB 2022), and more recently approximately 1.9 miles upstream of the site in 2024 (Valley Water 2024). Even though the study area contains suitable dispersal habitat for western pond turtle, it is highly unlikely that pond turtles would disperse into the study area due to the greater than six-mile distance separating the site from the nearest recorded occurrence, and due to the high levels of disturbance and isolation from natural habitats in the region.
Additionally, barriers to aquatic dispersal of fish further downstream may also block pond turtle movement. Nonetheless, this species may occur elsewhere in Saratoga Creek (e.g., upstream), thus; it is possible that an individual could occasionally disperse into the study area. Although the majority of the Plan would be constructed outside the riparian corridor, minor work within the riparian corridor or creek itself (e.g., stormwater outfall) and work adjacent to the riparian area could result in injury or mortality of turtles due to equipment, vehicle traffic, and foot traffic, a potentially significant impact under CEQA due to the regional rarity of this species.

paragraph:
The existing Saratoga Creek Trail and Saratoga Creek within the study area may be subject to Valley Water jurisdiction if work encroaches within occurs in or near the existing Valley Water property or easements over Saratoga Creek. The proposed Plan would need to comply with the conditions of the Water Resources Protection Ordinance if any design feature results in the modification of any Valley Water facility including, but not limited to, grading and the removal or installation of vegetation. which requires that Ssuch actions would require an encroachment permit from Valley Water.
Valley Water – Guidelines and Standards for Land Use Near Streams. The project would comply with the requirements and design guidelines of the Valley Water’s Guidelines and Standards for Land Use Near Streams for any activities that would occur within the limits of Valley Water’s property. The manual outlines requirements and recommendations for land use activities in and around Santa Clara County streams, in order to protect stream resources. The City of Cupertino has adopted these guidelines and standards. The concept plan for the proposed project was developed to prioritize and maintain the natural riparian character of Saratoga Creek. The design increases adjacent riparian plantings, increases permeability, and improves water quality. As the detailed project drawings develop, the design guidelines in Guidelines and Standards for Land Use Near Streams will continue to be referenced for alignment.related to riparian corridor protection, general landscaping, encroachments between the TOB, stormwater outfalls, site drainage, and trail constructions. Some of these requirements include the planting of native species, locating paved areas outside of riparian corridors, directing nighttime lighting away from riparian corridors, using drought-tolerant landscaping, and avoidance of new outfalls, among other requirements and recommendations. Conformance with these requirements would reduce potential impacts to less than significant.

No Impact. The project would construct a linear extension of an existing paved multi-use trail and a new public park that includes play areas, creek overlooks, seating areas and landscaping. The geometric design of the trail and park are designed to be ADA-compliant facilitate safe pedestrian and bicycle travel, safe play, and passive recreation. There are no hazardous or dangerous elements of the proposed project design. The project shall secure an

MITIGATION MONITORING AND REPORTING PROGRAM
This Mitigation, Monitoring and Reporting Program (MMRP) has been prepared pursuant to the CEQA Guidelines, which state:
“When adopting a mitigated negative declaration, the lead agency shall also adopt a program for reporting on or monitoring the changes which it has either required in the project or made a condition of approval to mitigate or avoid significant environmental effects” (§15074(d)) and;
“The Lead Agency may choose whether its program will monitor mitigation, report on mitigation, or both. “Reporting” generally consists of a written compliance review that is presented to the decision-making body or authorized staff person. A report may be required at various stages during project implementation or upon completion of the mitigation measure. “Monitoring” is generally an ongoing or periodic process of project oversight.
There is often no clear distinction between monitoring and reporting and the program best suited to ensuring compliance in any given instance will usually involve elements of both.” (§15097 (c))
The table beginning on the next page lists the impacts, mitigation measures, and timing of the mitigation measures (when the measures will be implemented) related to the City of Cupertino, Lawrence-Mitty Park and Trail Project. All mitigation measures listed here will be implemented by the City and its contractors.
According to CEQA Guidelines section 15126.4 (a) (2), “Mitigation measures must be fully enforceable through permit conditions, agreements, or other legally-binding instruments. In the case of the adoption of a plan, policy, regulation, or other public project, mitigation measures can be incorporated into the plan, policy, regulation, or project design.” Therefore, all mitigation measures as listed in this MMRP will be adopted by the City when the project is approved.

Mitigation Measure BIO-1a. Conduct Preconstruction Survey. No more than 24 hours prior to the date of initial ground disturbance, a preconstruction survey for southwestern pond turtle will be conducted within the impact area by a qualified biologist. The survey will consist of walking the limits of impact to ascertain the possible presence of the species. The qualified biologist will investigate all potential areas that could be used by southwestern pond turtle for feeding, sheltering, movement, and other essential behaviors.
A qualified biologist is an individual who shall have a degree in biological sciences or related resource management with a minimum of two seasonal years post-degree experience conducting surveys for each amphibian and reptile special-status species that may be present within the project area.
During or following academic training, the qualified biologist shall have achieved a high level of professional experience and knowledge in biological sciences and special-status species identification, ecology, and habitat requirements. Additionally, the qualified biologist must be permitted or authorized to handle and relocate southwestern pond turtle.
Mitigation Measure BIO-1b. Worker Environmental Awareness Program. All construction personnel will participate in a worker environmental awareness program. These personnel will be informed about the possible presence of all special-status species and habitats associated with the species identified here to be potentially present in the parcel and that unlawful take of the animal or destruction of its habitat is a violation of law. Prior to construction activities, a qualified biologist will instruct all construction personnel about (1) the description and status of the species; (2) the importance of their associated habitats; (3) a list of measures being taken to reduce impacts on these species during project construction and implementation; and (4) measures to be followed if special-status species are encountered during construction activities.

sheet conveying this information will be prepared for distribution to the construction crew and anyone else who enters the project site.
Mitigation Measure BIO-1c. Install Wildlife Exclusion Barrier. Prior to any ground disturbance in the work area, a temporary wildlife exclusion barrier will be installed along the limits of disturbance. A qualified biologist will inspect the area prior to installation of the barrier. The barrier will be designed to allow the southwestern pond turtles to leave the work area and prevent them from entering the work area. The fence will remain in place until all development activities have been completed. This barrier will be inspected daily and maintained and repaired as necessary to ensure that it is functional and is not a hazard to southwestern pond turtles on the outer side of the barrier.
Mitigation Measure BIO-1d. Construction Monitoring. A qualified biologist or biological monitor will be onsite during all project activities that may result in the take of any special status species. The qualified biologist will be given the authority to freely communicate verbally, by telephone, electronic mail, or in writing at any time with construction personnel, any other person(s) at the project site, otherwise associated with the project, and regulatory agencies (e.g., USFWS or CDFW). The qualified biologist or biological monitor will have oversight over implementation of all the mitigation measures and will have the authority and responsibility to stop project activities if they determine any of the measures are not being fulfilled.

Mitigation Measure BIO-2a: Pre-Construction Survey for San Francisco Dusky-Footed woodrats. Within 30 days prior to the start of construction activities, a qualified biologist shall map all San Francisco dusky-footed woodrat houses within a 50-foot buffer around the project footprint. Environmentally sensitive habitat fencing shall be placed to protect the houses with a minimum 50-foot buffer. If a 50-foot buffer is not feasible, a smaller buffer may be allowable based on advice from a qualified biologist with knowledge of woodrat ecology and behavior, or Mitigation Measure BIO-2b may be implemented.
Mitigation Measure BIO-2b: Relocation of Woodrat Houses. In the unlikely event that one or more woodrat houses are determined to be present and physical disturbance or destruction of the houses cannot be avoided, then the woodrats shall be evicted from their houses and the nest material relocated outside of the disturbance area, prior to onset of activities that would disturb the house, to avoid injury or mortality of the woodrats. The reproductive season for San Francisco dusky-footed woodrats typically starts in February or March and breeding activity usually continues to July but can extend into September. Thus, relocation efforts should be completed in the fall to minimize the potential for impacts on young woodrats in the house. Additionally, it is recommended that the period between the completion of the relocation efforts and the start of construction activities be minimized to reduce the potential for woodrats to reconstruct houses in the project footprint prior to the start of construction activities.

Mitigation Measure BIO-3a: Pre-Construction Survey for Roosting Bats. A survey of culverts within the project site, including a 50-foot buffer (as feasible) shall be conducted by a qualified bat biologist no less than 30 days before the start of construction-related activities (including but not limited to mobilization and staging, clearing, grubbing, tree removal, vegetation removal, fence installation, demolition, and grading). If construction activities are delayed by more than 30 days, an additional bat survey shall be performed. The survey may be conducted at any time of year but should be conducted in such a way to allow sufficient time to determine if special-status bats or maternity colonies are present on the site. The results of the survey shall be documented.
If no habitat or signs of bats are detected during the habitat suitability survey, no further surveys are warranted. If suitable habitat is present and signs of bat occupancy (e.g., guano pellets or urine staining) are detected, Mitigation Measure BIO-3b shall apply.
Mitigation Measure BIO-3b: Acoustic Survey. If suitable habitat is present and signs of bat occupancy are detected, a follow-up dusk emergence survey shall be conducted no less than 30 days prior to construction activities. A dusk survey will determine the number of bats present and will also include the use of acoustic equipment to determine the species of bats present. The results of the survey shall be documented.
If an active roost is observed within the project site, Mitigation Measure BIO-3c shall apply.

Avoidance. To the extent feasible, construction activities should be scheduled to avoid the nesting season. If construction activities are scheduled to take place outside the nesting season, all impacts to nesting birds protected under the MBTA and California Fish and Game Code would be avoided. The nesting season for most birds in Santa Clara County extends from February 1 through August 31.
Pre-Construction Surveys. If it is not possible to schedule construction activities between September 1 and January 31, then preconstruction surveys for nesting birds shall be conducted by a qualified biologist to ensure that no nests would be disturbed during project implementation.
These surveys shall be conducted no more than five days prior to the initiation of any site disturbance activities and equipment mobilization, including tree, shrub, or vegetation removal, fence installation, grading, etc.
If project activities are delayed by more than five days, an additional nesting bird survey shall be performed. During this survey, the biologist will inspect all trees and other potential nesting habitats (e.g., trees, shrubs, culverts) in and immediately adjacent to the impact area for nests. Active nesting is present if a bird is building a nest, sitting in a nest, a nest has eggs or chicks in it, or adults are observed carrying food to the nest.

Mitigation Measure CUL-2: It is recommended that prior to the start of ground disturbing construction, the City should implement a Worker Awareness Training (WAT) program for cultural resources. Training shall be required for all construction personnel participating in ground disturbing construction to alert them to the archaeological sensitivity of the project area and provide protocols to follow in the event of a discovery of archaeological materials. The training shall be provided by a Registered Professional Archaeologist (RPA). The RPA shall develop and distribute for job site posting an "ALERT SHEET" summarizing potential archaeological finds that could be exposed and the protocols to be followed as well as points of contact to alert in the event of a discovery.
Mitigation Measure CUL-3: The City shall retain a Professional Archaeologist on an “on-call” basis during ground disturbing construction to review, identify and evaluate any potential cultural resources that may be inadvertently exposed during construction.

1241
CC 07-02-2024
1241 of 1296
■ Mitigation Measure BIO-la. Conduct Preconstruction Survey. No more than 24 hours prior to the date of initial ground disturbance, a preconstruction survey for southwestern pond turtle will be conducted within the impact area by a qualified biologist. The survey will consist of walking the limits of impact to ascertain the possible presence of the species. The qualified biologist will investigate all potential areas that could be used by southwestern pond turtle for feeding, sheltering, movement, and other essential behaviors.
A qualified biologist is an individual who shall have a degree in biological sciences or related resource management with a minimum of two seasonal years post-degree experience conducting surveys for each amphibian and reptile special-status species that may be present within the project areas.
During or following academic training, the qualified biologist shall have achieved a high level of professional experience and knowledge in biological sciences and special-status species identification, ecology, and habitat requirements. Additionally, the qualified biologist must be permitted or authorized to handle and relocate southwestern pond turtle. ■ Mitigation Measure BIO-lb. Worker Environmental Awareness Program.
All construction personnel will participate in a worker environmental awareness program. These personnel will be informed about the possible presence of all special-status species and habitats associated with the species identified here to be potentially present in the parcel and that unlawful take of the animal or destruction of its habitat is a violation of law.
Prior to construction activities, a qualified biologist will instruct all construction personnel about (1) the description and status of the species; (2) the importance of their associated habitats; (3) a list of measures being taken to reduce impacts on these species during project construction and implementation; and ( 4) measures to be followed if special-status species are encountered during construction activities. A fact sheet conveying this information will be prepared for distribution to the construction crew and anyone else who enters the project site.
■ Mitigation Measure BIO-le. Install Wildlife Exclusion Barrier. Prior to any ground disturbance in the work area, a temporary wildlife exclusion barrier will be installed along the limits of disturbance. A qualified biologist will inspect the area prior to installation of the barrier. The barrier will be designed to allow the southwestern pond turtles to leave the work area and prevent them from entering the work area. The fence will remain in place until all development activities have been completed. This barrier will be 1242
CC 07-02-2024
1242 of 1296
inspected daily and maintained and repaired as necessary to ensure that it is functional and is not a hazard to southwestern pond turtles on the outer side of the barrier.
■ Mitigation Measure B10-ld. Construction Monitoring. A qualified biologist or biological monitor will be onsite during all project activities that may result in the take of any special-status species. The qualified biologist will be given the authority to freely communicate verbally, by telephone, by electronic mail, or in writing at any time with construction personnel, any other person(s) at the project site or otherwise associated with the project, and regulatory agencies (e.g., USFWS or CDFW). The qualified biologist or biological monitor will have oversight over implementation of all the mitigation measures and will have the authority and responsibility to stop project activities if they determine any of the measures are not being fulfilled.
A biological monitor is an individual who shall have academic and professional experience in biological sciences and related resource management activities as it pertains to this project, experience with construction-level biological monitoring, be able to recognize species that may be present within the project area and be familiar with the habits and behavior of those species.
■ Mitigation Measure BI0-2a. Pre-Construction Survey for San Francisco Dusky-Footed Woodrats. Within 30 days prior to the start of construction activities, a qualified biologist shall map all San Francisco dusky-footed woodrat houses within a SO-foot buffer around the project footprint.
Environmentally sensitive habitat fencing shall be placed to protect the houses with a minimum SO-foot buffer. If a SO-foot buffer is not feasible, a smaller buffer may be allowable based on advice from a qualified biologist with knowledge of woodrat ecology and behavior, or Mitigation Measure BIO-2b may be implemented.
■ Mitigation Measure BI0-2b. Relocation of Woodrat Houses. In the unlikely event that one or more woodrat houses are determined to be present and physical disturbance or destruction of the houses cannot be avoided, then the woodrats shall be evicted from their houses and the nest material relocated outside of the disturbance area, prior to onset of activities that would disturb the house, to avoid injury or mortality of the woodrats.
The reproductive season for San Francisco dusky-footed woodrats typically starts in February or March and breeding activity usually continues to July but can extend into September. Thus, relocation efforts should be 1243
CC 07-02-2024
1243 of 1296
completed in the fall to minimize the potential for impacts on young woodrats in the house. Additionally, it is recommended that the period between the completion of the relocation efforts and the start of construction activities be minimized to reduce the potential for woodrats to reconstruct houses in the project footprint prior to the start of construction activities.
Relocation generally involves first choosing an alternate location for the house material based on the following criteria: 1) proximity to current nest location; 2) safe buffer distance from planned work; 3) availability of food resources; and 4) availability of cover. An alternate house structure will then be built at the chosen location. Subsequently, during the evening hours (i.e., within 1 hour prior to sunset), a qualified biologist will slowly dismantle the existing woodrat house to allow any woodrats to flee and seek cover. All sticks from the nest will be collected and spread over the alternate structure. However, alternative relocation measures can be employed as advised by a qualified wildlife biologist in consultation with CDFW.
■ Mitigation Measure BI0-3a. Pre-Construction Survey for Roosting Bats.
A survey of culverts within the project site, including a 50-foot buffer (as feasible) shall be conducted by a qualified bat biologist no less than 30 days before the start of construction-related activities (including but not limited to mobilization and staging, clearing, grubbing, tree removal, vegetation removal, fence installation, demolition, and grading). If construction activities are delayed by more than 30 days, an additional bat survey shall be performed. The survey may be conducted at any time of year but should be conducted in such a way to allow sufficient time to determine if specialstatus bats or maternity colonies are present on the site. The results of the survey shall be documented.
If no habitat or signs of bats are detected during the habitat suitability survey, no further surveys are warranted. If suitable habitat is present and signs of bat occupancy ( e.g., guano pellets or urine staining) are detected, Mitigation Measure BIO-3b shall apply.
■ Mitigation Measure BI0-3b. Acoustic Survey. If suitable habitat is present and signs of bat occupancy are detected, a follow-up dusk emergence survey shall be conducted no less than 30 days prior to construction activities. A dusk survey will determine the number of bats present and will also include the use of acoustic equipment to determine the species of bats 1244
CC 07-02-2024
1244 of 1296
present. The results of the survey shall be documented. If an active roost is observed within the project site, Mitigation Measure BIO-3c shall apply. ■ Mitigation Measure BI0-3c. Roost Buffer. If a day roost or a maternity colony is detected and is found sufficiently close to work areas to be disturbed by construction activities, the qualified biologist shall determine the extent of a construction-free buffer zone to be established around the roost in consultation with CDFW. Within the buffer zone, no site disturbance and mobilization of heavy equipment, including but not limited to equipment staging, fence installation, clearing, grubbing, vegetation removal, demolition, and grading shall be permitted.
Monitoring shall be required to ensure compliance with relevant California Fish and Game Code requirements. Monitoring dates and findings shall be documented.
■ Mitigation Measure BI0-4. Pre-Construction/Pre-Disturbance Survey for Nesting Birds.
Avoidance. To the extent feasible, construction activities should be scheduled to avoid the nesting season. If construction activities are scheduled to take place outside the nesting season, all impacts to nesting birds protected under the MBTA and California Fish and Game Code would be avoided.The nesting season for most birds in Santa Clara County extends from February 1 through August 31.
Pre-Construction Surveys. If it is not possible to schedule construction activities between September 1 and January 31, then preconstruction surveys for nesting birds shall be conducted by a qualified biologist to ensure that no nests would be disturbed during project implementation.
These surveys shall be conducted no more than five days prior to the initiation of any site disturbance activities and equipment mobilization, including tree, shrub, or vegetation removal, fence installation, grading, etc.
If project activities are delayed by more than five days, an additional nesting bird survey shall be performed. During this survey, the biologist will inspect all trees and other potential nesting habitats ( e.g., trees, shrubs, culverts) in and immediately adjacent to the impact area for nests. Active nesting is present if a bird is building a nest, sitting in a nest, a nest has eggs or chicks in it, or adults are observed carrying food to the nest. The results of the surveys shall be documented.
If an active nest is found sufficiently close to work areas to be disturbed by these activities, the biologist will determine the extent of a construction-free buffer zone to be established around the nest (typically up to 1,000 feet for 1245
CC 07-02-2024
1245 of 1296
raptors and up to 250 feet for other species), to ensure that no nests of species protected by the Migratory Bird Treaty Act MBTA and California Fish and Game Code will be disturbed during project implementation.
Within the buffer zone, no site disturbance and mobilization of heavy equipment, including but not limited to equipment staging, fence installation, clearing, grubbing, vegetation removal, demolition, and grading will be permitted until the chicks have fledged. Monitoring shall be required to ensure compliance with MBTA and relevant California Fish and Game Code requirements. Monitoring dates and findings shall be documented.
■ Mitigation Measure CUL-1. The City of Cupertino (City) shall note on any plans that require ground disturbing excavation that there is a potential for exposing buried cultural resources including prehistoric Native American burials. Significant prehistoric cultural resources are defined as human burials, features or other clustering' s of finds made, modified, or used by Native American peoples in the past. The prehistoric and protohistoric indicators of prior cultural occupation by Native Americans include artifacts and human bone, as well as soil discoloration, shell, animal bone, sandstone cobbles, ashy areas, and baked or vitrified clays. Prehistoric materials may include:
a. Human bone - either isolated or intact burials.
b. Habitation (occupation or ceremonial structures as interpreted from rock rings/features, distinct ground depressions, differences in compaction (e.g., house floors).
c. Artifacts including chipped stone objects such as projectile points and bifaces; groundstone artifacts such as manos, metates, mortars, pestles, grinding stones, pitted hammerstones; and, shell and bone artifacts including ornaments and beads.
d. Various features and samples including hearths (fire-cracked rock; baked and vitrified clay), artifact caches, faunal and shellfish remains (which permit dietary reconstruction), distinctive changes in soil stratigraphy indicative of prehistoric activities. e. Isolated artifacts.
■ Mitigation Measure CUL-2. It is recommended that prior to the start of ground disturbing construction, the City should implement a Worker Awareness Training (WAT) program for cultural resources. Training shall be required for all construction personnel participating in ground 1246
CC 07-02-2024
1246 of 1296
disturbing construction to alert them to the archaeological sensitivity of the project area and provide protocols to follow in the event of a discovery of archaeological materials. The training shall be provided by a Registered Professional Archaeologist (RP A).
The RP A shall develop and distribute for job site posting an "ALERT SHEET" summarizing potential archaeological finds that could be exposed and the protocols to be followed as well as points of contact to alert in the event of a discovery.
■ Mitigation Measure CUL-3. The City shall retain a Professional Archaeologist on an "on-call" basis during ground disturbing construction to review, identify and evaluate any potential cultural resources that may be inadvertently exposed during construction. The archaeologist shall review and evaluate any discoveries to determine if they are historical resource(s) and/or unique archaeological resources under the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA).
If the Professional Archaeologist determines that any cultural resources exposed during construction constitute a historical resource and/or unique archaeological resource under CEQA, he/she shall notify the City and other appropriate parties of the evaluation and recommend mitigation measures to mitigate to a less-than significant impact in accordance with California Public Resources Code Section 15064.5. Mitigation measures may include avoidance, preservation in-place, recordation, additional archaeological testing, and data recovery among other options. The completion of a formal Archaeological Monitoring Plan (AMP) and/or Archaeological Treatment Plan (ATP) that may include data recovery may be recommended by the Professional Archaeologist if significant archaeological deposits are exposed during ground disturbing construction. Development and implementation of the AMP and ATP and treatment of significant cultural resources will be determined by the City in consultation with any regulatory agencies.
■ Mitigation Measure CUL-4. In accordance with Section 7050.5 of the California Health and Safety Code, if potential human remains are found, immediately notify the lead agency (City of Cupertino or Santa Clara County) staff and the Santa Clara County Coroner of the discovery. The coroner would provide a determination regarding the nature of the remains within 48 hours of notification. No further excavation or disturbance of the identified material, or any area reasonably suspected to overlie additional remains, can occur until a determination has been made. If the County 1247
CC 07-02-2024
1247 of 1296
Coroner determines that the remains are, or are believed to be, of Native American ancestry, the coroner would notify the Native American Heritage Commission within 24 hours. In accordance with California Public Resources Code, Section 5097.98, the Native American Heritage Commission must immediately notify those persons it believes to be the Most Likely Descendant from the deceased Native American. Within 48 hours of this notification, the Most Likely Descendant would recommend to the lead agency their preferred treatment of the remains and associated grave goods.
■ Mitigation Measure TRIB-1. It is possible for a lead agency to determine that an artifact is considered significant to a local tribe, and thus considered a significant resource under CEQA, even if it would not otherwise be considered significant under CEQA. As such, all Native American tribal finds are to be considered significant until the lead agency has enough evidence to make a determination of significance. In the event that Native American archaeological resources are discovered, or suspected to have been discovered, Native American monitoring will be required before further ground disturbance shall be allowed.
6. Adopt and incorporate into the Project all of the Conditions of Approval noted in the IS/MND, which are listed below, as required conditions of approval of the Project to the extent they are within the responsibility and jurisdiction of the City:
• Standard Permit Condition: The following measures shall be applied to development of the project site to reduce and/or avoid impacts to paleontological resources:
If vertebrate fossils or other paleontological resources are discovered during construction, all work on the site shall stop immediately until a qualified professional paleontologist can assess the nature and importance of the find and recommend appropriate treatment. Treatment may include preparation and recovery of fossil materials so that they can be housed in an appropriate museum or university collection and may also include preparation of a report for publication describing the finds. The City of Cupertino's Project Manager or other suitable representative shall be responsible for submitting the paleontologist's report to the Director of Public Works and implementing the recommendations of the qualified professional paleontologist. The representative shall submit a report to the Director of Public Works indicating how the paleontologist' s 1248
CC 07-02-2024

MITIGATION MONITORING AND REPORTING PROGRAM
This Mitigation, Monitoring and Reporting Program (MMRP) has been prepared pursuant to the CEQA Guidelines, which state:
"When adopting a mitigated negative declaration, the lead agency shall also adopt a program for reporting on or monitoring the changes which it has either required in the project or made a condition of approval to mitigate or avoid significant environmental effects" (§15074(d)) and;
"The Lead Agency may choose whether its program will monitor mitigation, report on mitigation, or both. "Reporting" generally consists of a written compliance review that is presented to the decision-making body or authorized staff person. A report may be required at various stages during project implementation or upon completion of the mitigation measure. "Monitoring" is generally an ongoing or periodic process of project oversight.
There is often no clear distinction between monitoring and reporting and the program best suited to ensuring compliance in any given instance will usually involve elements of both." (§15097 (c))
The table beginning on the next page lists the impacts, mitigation measures, and timing of the mitigation measures (when the measures will be implemented) related to the City of Cupertino, Lawrence-Mitty Park and Trail Project. All mitigation measures listed here will be implemented by the City and its contractors.
According to CEQA Guidelines section 15126.4 (a) (2), "Mitigation measures must be fully enforceable through permit conditions, agreements, or other legally-binding instruments. In the case of the adoption of a plan, policy, regulation, or other public project, mitigation measures can be incorporated into the plan, policy, regulation, or project design." Therefore, all mitigation measures as listed in this MMRP will be adopted by the City when the project is approved.

In the unlikely event that one or more woodrat houses are determined to be present and physical disturbance or destruction of the houses cannot be avoided, then the woodrats shall be evicted from their houses and the nest material relocated outside of the disturbance area, prior to onset of activities that would disturb the house, to avoid injury or mortality of the woodrats. The reproductive season for San Francisco dusky-footed woodrats typically starts in February or March and breeding activity usually continues to July but can extend into September. Thus, relocation efforts should be completed in the fall to minimize the potential for impacts on young woodrats in the house. Additionally, it is recommended that the period between the completion of the relocation efforts and the start of construction activities be minimized to reduce the potential for woodrats to reconstruct houses in the project footprint prior to the start of construction activities.

CITY COUNCIL STAFF REPORT
Meeting: January 17, 2023
Subject
Consider Lawrence-Mitty Park and Trail project design direction following community outreach results.
Recommended Action
Approve Lawrence-Mitty Park and Trail project design direction following community outreach results and proceed to Final Concept Design Development.
Summary
The preferred option has been identified as Concept B, “Story Trail” (Attachment A,) with some features from Concept C, “Play It Up.” The project team seeks Council approval of the design direction for the final concept plan, considering the responses from the community in Phases 2 and 3, as well as discussions with the Bicycle Pedestrian and Parks and Recreation commissions. With this approval, the project team will proceed with the Final Concept Design Development phase that is required for the CEQA/Environmental review process.
Background
In 2002, the City of Cupertino began work on acquiring, annexing, and developing a neighborhood park on approximately eight acres of land along the westerly edge of Lawrence Expressway near Mitty Way (Lawrence-Mitty.) Of the eight acres, roughly six acres are suitable for park development. Anticipating the inclusion of the area into Cupertino as a new park, the City pre-zoned the parcels as “Park/Recreation” in 2007.
In July 2020, the City Council passed Resolution 20-092, approving the purchase of the Lawrence-Mitty site from the County of Santa Clara for $2.69 million. The site was situated within the jurisdiction, City limits, and urban service area of the City of San Jose. In April 2022, the Local Area Formation Commission approved annexation of the property into the City. The annexation process was completed in August 2022.
At the City Council Meeting on July 19, 2022, the project team provided an update on the status of the Environmental Summary Report, public outreach process, and next steps in the design process for the Lawrence-Mitty Park and Trail project.
Attachment H

Council received the update and identified several areas of interest:
• safety and crime prevention
• maintenance of the public and vegetated areas
• landscaping improvements with a focus on using native species • park design options to encourage activity and preserve natural features • sound walls and/or berms
• stormwater management
• examples of other parks
• continuing outreach
Discussion
With nearly six acres of developable land, the Lawrence-Mitty site has the potential to provide open space and park amenities for the public. The open space adjacent to the creek offers residents opportunities to walk, ride, learn, and play, which is critical for a healthy community. The site proximity to Saratoga Creek and Lawrence Expressway offers unique challenges for access and jurisdictional permissions. The park features proposed will need to balance site constraints and the community’s aspirations.
In August 2021, the City released a Request for Qualifications to solicit proposals from qualified professional consultants to develop the Lawrence-Mitty site. In October 2021, MIG, Inc. (MIG) was selected as the consultant for this project and a contract was executed in December 2021. The City worked with MIG to develop a process for implementation of the project. The project has been divided into five phases, which include:
1) Existing Site Condition and Technical Analysis
2) Community Vision
3) Conceptual Design Alternatives
4) Draft and Final Plan
5) California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) Clearance To date, the project team has completed Phases 1, 2 and 3, and is currently engaged in Phase 4.
Phase 1: Existing Site Condition and Technical Analysis: Environmental Summary Report (ESR) Key considerations discussed in the ESR include site-specific opportunities and constraints associated with the following elements: site access, noise reduction, easements and utilities, soil conditions (including existing construction and demolition waste,) stormwater management, biological resources, and tree inventory. The ESR provides recommendations and design considerations for each of these elements. The report is available for review at the project’s webpage, engagecupertino.org/lawrencemitty.

CC 07-02-2024
1262 of 1296
Phase 2: Community Vision
This phase of the project was one of the initial activities forthe project team and centered on outreach endeavors to solicit feedback from the community regarding what was important to them and how they would like to use the future park. A list of those outreach events is listed below:
• The opportunity to provide comments about the project on the ‘Engage Cupertino’ website at engagecupertino.org/lawrencemitty • Online survey (Open March 30 to May 23, 2022) (563 responses) • Two public Pop-up events
o April 16, 2022, at the Big Bunny 5K (approximately 30 participants) o May 7, 2022, at Creekside Park during youth soccer league (approximately 30 participants)
• Virtual Community Meeting (April 27, 2022) (approximately 15 participants) • Site tour (April 30, 2022) (approximately 60 participants) • Joint Commission Meeting (June 13, 2022)
• City Council meeting (July 19, 2022)
Phase 3: Conceptual Design Alternatives
After gathering initial community input and guidance at the Joint Commission meeting and City Council, the project team moved into Phase 3 - Conceptual Design Alternatives. The consultant developed three design options based on knowledge of the environmental conditions of the site, community input, and priorities gleaned from the Parks and Recreations System Master Plan.
The conceptual design themes focused on different primary uses of the park. The three alternatives were Concept A - “Wheel Fun,” Concept B - “Story Trail,” and Concept C - “Play It Up.” More information on the features in each design option is included in the November 17, 2022, Parks and Recreation Commission Presentation (Attachment A.) The project team conducted additional outreach activities to provide information and solicit feedback on the three conceptual design alternatives. Information about the survey and future events was provided to residents using mailings, social media posts, Items of Interest, the City’s Engage Cupertino website, and at the events themselves.
Those activities were:
• Online community survey (October 3-31, 2022, with 371 responses) • Community input pop-up at the Cupertino Library (October 8, 2022, approximately 70 participants)
• Lawrence-Mitty site visit (October 15, 2022, approximately 73 participants) • Virtual community meeting (October 17, 2022, 7 participants from the public) • Bicycle Pedestrian Commission Meeting Update (November 16, 2022) • Parks and Recreation Commission Update (November 17, 2022) 1263
CC 07-02-2024
1263 of 1296
The preferred option has been identified as Concept B - “Story Trail,” with some features from Concept C - “Play It Up,“ most notably expanded play areas for a wide range of user types and abilities. This hybrid option, based on community input received by the project team, will be the basis for the next phase of design development.
Phase 4: Design Development/Looking Forward
In this (the current) phase, the project team will develop the Final Concept Plan design based on the feedback received to date, and within the context of the approved funding available for the implementation.
We are looking for Council’s confirmation and approval of the design direction for development of the Final Concept Plan. Later, the project team will seek acceptance of the Final Concept Plan by City Council. Design elements included in the Final Concept Plan may be adjusted in consideration of the available project funding for construction.
The plan will then be used to initiate CEQA clearance (Phase 5) as well as provide the basis for the final construction schedule, plans, and budget refinements.
Phase 5: California Environmental Quality Act Clearance Once a Final Conceptual Plan is developed and accepted, the project team will move into Phase 5 - CEQA Clearance. The final outcome of Phase 5 is approval of the required CEQA document for implementation of the final design. The projected timeframe for CEQA clearance is six months after final acceptance of the final concept plan by the City Council. Once CEQA clearance is obtained, the City will pursue further development of the design and construction documentation.
Next Steps:
With Council’s approval of the Concept Design direction, the team will proceed to Final Concept Plan Design Development, and CEQA Clearance phases. Following those phases, the project team will develop construction documentation for permitting and bidding purposes. Construction of the park improvements at the Lawrence-Mitty site are anticipated to begin in 2024. The duration of the construction will be dependent on the requirements of the adopted/final design elements.
If Council does not approve the proposed design direction, the project team will require specific guidance on the revised design direction and clarification on the project team’s next steps.
Sustainability Impact
This project aligns with multiple objectives outlined in Chapter 6, Environmental Resources and Sustainability, of the City’s General Plan, Community Vision 2015-2040.
Development of the Lawrence-Mitty site will emphasize elements of Goal ES-1 to ensure a sustainable future, Goal ES-5 which is to protect the City’s urban and rural ecosystems, and Goal ES-7 to ensure the protection and efficient use of all water resources. 1264

As noted in this report, CEQA clearance will occur as design is completed and before the City commits to undertaking a defined project.
Fiscal Impact
The current available balance for the project is $5,952,256 after expenditures for the acquisition and annexation of the property, as well as current design services. No additional funding is required because of this report.

CITY COUNCIL STAFF REPORT
Meeting: July 2, 2024
Subject
Repeal of the existing General Plan Amendment (GPA) Authorization procedure and process.
Recommended Action
Adopt Resolution No. 24-XXXX (Attachment A) repealing the existing General Plan Amendment Authorization procedure and process and rescinding Resolution 15-078.
Reasons for Recommendation
Since the City adopted the GPA Authorization Procedure in 2015, several concerns about the process have been received and observed:
• There has been misunderstanding of the City Council’s authorization to apply for a GPA and related approvals constitutes final approval of the project. • The procedure has created an additional process and increased the overall project review and process time.
• The community benefits proposed by projects have been inconsistent and have not necessarily provided the intended benefits.
• The procedure does not provide guidance about the process for changing the project after GPA authorization. Therefore, project modifications after the GPA Authorization procedure process would trigger re-authorization.
Background
On September 1, 2015, the City Council adopted Resolution 15-078 (Attachment B) which established the City’s policy for processing GPA Authorization applications. Attachment C illustrates the current process. Since the adoption of the resolution in 2015, there have been nine projects in the last nine years (Attachment D) that were processes with the GPA Authorization procedure. A few cities in the Santa Clara County, greater Bay Area and Southern California have also established GPA screening procedures. Examples of those cities are listed in Attachment E.
Prior to the adoption of the resolution, City staff reviewed applications for proposed development projects concurrently with any proposed GPA application and environmental review for the project. Project review included review to ensure that the proposal was consistent with the General Plan or any proposed amendment to the General Plan and compliance with zoning regulations. If an applicant sought a Development Agreement to protect the project against future changes in land use regulations, negotiation of the agreement would be conduct by City staff, including the community benefits the developer would provide in exchange for 1267
CC 07-02-2024
1267 of 1296
vested rights to proceed with the approved project. Staff involved in the negotiation included the City Manager, City Attorney, Director and Assistant Director of Community Development, Planning Manager, and the assigned project manager. Public input about the project was solicited through neighborhood or citywide noticing, legal notices for meetings, site signage, and neighborhood meetings. Upon completion of environmental and project review and any negotiations for a Development Agreement, the public could provide input on the final decision in public hearings before the Planning Commission and City Council.
While State Planning and Zoning Law limits the number of times a City may amend its general plan to four times in one year, the City, when establishing the authorization process, did not limit the number of GPA authorization applications that could be filed and processed in any given year. However, the practice has been to group GPA authorization applications and agendize them for Council consideration twice per year, generally in late-May/early-June and late-November. A GPA authorization application has not been submitted for Council consideration since 2021.
The Council held a study session on June 30, 2015, to review a proposed policy for processing GPA applications. The policy was developed upon consideration of concerns received during the outreach process, such as to provide for more orderly development, to ensure that additional development improved quality of life for the community, to provide opportunity for early community input, to avoid an unnecessarily complex, costly, and time-consuming process, and to provide City Council direction early in the process.
After considering the benefits and disavantages of different approaches to manage development by other cities, input from the public, and the staff’s draft policy, the City Council directed staff to draft a policy for amendments to the General Plan. On September 1, 2015, the City Council adopted Resolution 15-078 which established the City’s standalone policy for processing GPA Authorization applications (see Attachment B).
Conclusion
In the nine years since the 2015 adoption of the GPA Authorization procedures, there have only been nine projects that were processed through the new procedures (see Attachment D). Majority of the cities in Santa Clara County and the Bay Area do not establish a separate GPA screening procedure. Some examples of cities with separate screening procedures are listed in Attachment E. Additionally, several concerns about the procedure have been received and observed, such as misunderstanding of the GPA project approval and modification process, increased overall project review time and resources, inconsistent community benefits received from projects, and the misconception of quid pro quo for private developments. City of Cupertino’s GPA review procedure is consistent with industry standards and state requirements. An additional screening procedure does not necessarily provide early community and Council input since projects typically evolve in the process and the authorization procedure does not indicate specific criteria for reevaluation. The GPA Authorization procedure adds an extra process to an existing review process and may be interpreted as an impediment to development. 1268
CC 07-02-2024

Therefore, staff recommends City Council adopt Resolution No. 24-XXXX (Attachment A) repealing the existing General Plan Amendment Authorization procedure and process and rescinding Resolution 15-078.

WHEREAS, the City has prepared General Plan Amendment Procedures to provide a process for preliminary review of proposed amendments; and WHEREAS, the City Council conducted a public hearing on the proposed procedures on May 19, 2015, and the Council directed staff to provide more information and options at a future meeting; and

PROCEDURES FOR PROCESSING
OF GENERAL PLAN AMENDMENT APPLICATIONS
1. Background/Goals
Like many communities throughout the State, Cupertino is concerned about balancing the benefits of economic development with the effects of rapid growth. The impacts of such growth can overwhelm the City's ability to accommodate it and affect the quality of life in the community.
The goal is to create a procedure for the consideration of future General Plan amendments that will encourage orderly development of the City and ensure that facility/service and quality of life standards can be met for the community. These procedures only address amendments requested by private parties. The City may initiate General Plan amendments when it deems necessary, such as, to conform to State law or to ensure consistency within the General Plan.
2. Procedure
a. The Council will consider the timing and processing of General Plan amendments twice a year, approximately every six months.
b. In order to be considered for processing, applicants will be required to apply for authorization to process a General Plan amendment by a designated date. c. In the quarter following the due date (generally), the Council will hold a publicly noticed meeting to preliminarily review the list of proposed General Plan amendments. d. Noticing- City- wide postcard and public meeting requirements. e. Each application will be preliminarily evaluated for the following:
i) General Plan goals achieved by the project including, but not limited to, the following:
1) Site and Architectural design and neighborhood compatibility 2) Brief description of net fiscal impacts ( sales tax, transient occupancy tax or other revenue provided by the project) including a diverse economic base 3) The provision of affordable housing
4) Environmental Sustainability
ii) General Plan amendments ( and any other zoning amendments or variances) requested. iii) Proposed voluntary community amenities, as defined in Section 3, if any. iv) Staff time and resources required to process the project. f. Based on the above evaluation the Council will consider which projects, if any, will be authorized to proceed with a General Plan amendment application. The decision does not in any way presume approval of the amendment or project. It only authorizes staff to process the application, but the City retains its discretion to consider the application in accordance with all applicable laws, including the California Environmental Quality Act 1274
CC 07-02-2024
1274 of 1296
Resolution No. 15-078

CEQA") and the City's zoning laws and ordinances. Consideration of the application will be in accordance with the City's Municipal Code and regulations. g. Staff will begin processing the General Plan amendment applications per Council direction.
A project that applies for processing should be in substantial compliance with the project authorized by Council.
h. Proposals not authorized by the Council at the first meeting ( per 2.c. above) may be resubmitted with minor amendments within 30 days. Such projects will be considered by the Council at a future public meeting, noticed per the Cupertino Municipal Code, after staff review.
3. Voluntary Community Amenities
a. For purposes of this policy, voluntary community amenities are defined as facilities, land and/ or funding contributions to ensure that any development with a General Plan amendment application enhances the quality of life in the City, including enhancements of the following:
i) School resources
ii) Public open space, such as parks and trails
iii) Public facilities and utilities, such as library, community center or utility systems iv) Transportation facilities with an emphasis on city-wide bicycle, pedestrian and transit improvements, such as community shuttles, pedestrian and bicycle bridges, and transit centers/ stations
4. Preliminary Review Requirements
a. Preliminary documents that would be typically required for the type of application that is requested, such as site plans, preliminary landscape plans, elevations, cross sections, preliminary grading plans and proposed materials.
b. A description, including graphics, of the General Plan amendment( s) and land use approvals required, if any. The description should include diagrammatic information as necessary to clearly explain the request.
c. An explanation of how the proposed project meets the overall goals of the General Plan and the benefits/ impacts of the project to the community and its quality of life. d. A brief summary ofnet fiscal impacts.
e. In order to provide the public with early notice and opportunity to provide input, to the extent the proposed project includes voluntary community amenities, as defined in Section 3 above, of a type typically memorialized in a development agreement, the applicant should include a Term Sheet explaining the proposed terms. The Term Sheet will be memorialized in a Development Agreement as part of the project, if approved. 1275

CITY COUNCILMEMBER REPORT*
Meeting: Tuesday, July 2nd, 2024
+for the “Councilmember Reports” agenda item under the “COUNCIL REPORTS” section Reporting Councilmember: Councilmember Liang Chao
Report Dates: 4/30/24 to 6/25/24
Section 1: Activities by Date (Date, Title, and Description):
NOTE:
● This list does not include internal meetings with staff only, such as prep sessions or meetings with the City Manager.
● This list includes activities to “represent the community I am elected to serve”, “to respond to community needs and complaints,” and “to communicate policies and programs to residents,” among other responsibilities of a City Councilmember.
● Due to my work schedule, I have cut down on the event attendance for ceremonial purposes, especially those I have attended almost every year in the past. Instead, I focus more of my time on constituent services.
2024-05-02 Constituents propose to designate the Mary Avenue Bike/Ped Bridge Area as a Park so Muni Code for parks apply to the area.
- A group of residents, representingHealth and Safety Advocates for the HHS Neighborhood (HSAHN), wrote to the Council with a detailed account of a public safety concern near Homestead High and Mary Ave. Bike/Ped Bridge.
- They hope the rules for parks in Muni Code 13.04.130 applies to the area around Mary Ave.
Bike/Ped Bridge.
1 1283
CC 07-02-2024
1283 of 1296
- I thought the request merits serious consideration and asked some followup questions to the staff.
If applicable, this could strengthen public safety for other bike paths, such as Regnart Creek Trail and Linda Visa Trail.
2024-06-18 Follow up to a public concerns on why the city has $50M sitting in a cash account not earning any interest
- The Feb. 27 response from the City Manager confirmed that the City does have around $50M in checking account for operational expenses for most of 2023. - The Treasurer’s Quarterly Investment Reports have the balance in checking account, LAIF (interest-earning cash-equivalent account for government agency) or other investment. - I did some research and here are my findings:
- I looked at the Q2 reports, ending December 31 of each year and found that Cupertino typically keeps around 15-20% of the total portfolio in the checking account, since 2016.
Before that, we kept around 2% in checking.
- I sampled a few cities around us for their FY 2023-24 Q2 reports, I found that other cities keep about $2-7M (0.25% to 2% of the entire portfolio) in the checking account. - Upcoming: At the June 18 Council meeting, the city staff confirmed that they are reviewing our Investment Policy with Chandler Asset Management and they will bring an update to the Council later this year.
2024-06-19 Follow-up to public comment on remote attendance of commissioners from the 6/18 Council meeting.
- The March 2023 memo from the City outlines the legal requirement under the Brown Act for teleconferencing.
- There have been three Commissioners who attend meetings remotely and they have followed the legal requirements as stated.
2024-06-19 Follow-up to public comment on video-on/off during teleconferencing from the 6/18 Council meeting.
- The City Staff confirmed that the video camera of a remote participant has to be turned on 2 1284
CC 07-02-2024
1284 of 1296
when a member of the Brown Act body participates due to emergency. See the March 2023 memo for more details.
2024-06-20 Follow-up to a public inquiry whether it is reasonable to sell the Bryne Ave. property with only one offer after less than one week.
- Comparative analysis provided from staff after the Council meeting. 2024-06-21 Follow-up to a constituent who had wished that Cupertino could work with Bay Area Housing Corporation (BAHC) to develop much-needed memory care units for developmentally disabled individuals who tend to develop Alseimers at a much younger age. - She pointed out that they were able to get about $3.5M funding with San Andreas Regional Center for the construction of the 4 memory care units at the Bryne Ave Property with a one-dollar 99-year lease, so the City still retains the ownership of the property. But the funding might not be available after this year.
- She feels the city sends out an RFP and nonprofits like Bay Area Housing Corporation (BAHC) spent quite a lot of time to put together a proposal. But the city did not give the proposal a fair chance for consideration.
- Unfortunately, to date, the Council has not received the said proposal from BAHC. We have only received staff recommendations based on their oral description of these proposals for the Bryne Ave. property.
2022-06-21 Follow up to a constituent’s concern from 2024-04-06 questioning why Annual Comprehensive Financial Report (ACFR) has been filed many months late. - I have verified with staff that Gov. Code 40804 requires “the annual report”, which is ACFR, to be filed within seven months of the close of the fiscal year, which is June 30. Thus, ACFR should have been finished before Jan. 31 at the latest.
- Cupertino has been filing ACFR around March since 2016. For the fiscal year ending June 30, 2023, all cities around us, except Los Altos, filed their ACFRs by December 2023. - Update: The ACFR for FY 2022-23 (year ending June 30, 2023) is on the Audit Committee agenda on June 26 and will be on the Council agenda early July. The new auditor is getting up to speed.
They will likely be able to finish the ACFR for FY 2024-25 within 7 months.
Section 2: Committee Assignment
No meeting during the period
Section 3: Other Information of Interest to My Constituents:
1. Recordings of Commission Meetings: Starting in June, commission meetings will be recorded for viewing later, although no teleconferencing to allow remote participation. - Find the recordings here under each commission.
-
3 1285
CC 07-02-2024
1285 of 1296
2. Housing Element Update:
- Highlights: 4,588 units are required for the HE, but the current HE has planned 6,226 units, about 36% more than required.
- By not counting 1,500 units in already approved projects and underestimating the realistic capacity for mixed use projects, Cupertino will upzone more properties than required to meet the RHNA requirements.
- The density (units/acre) of many sites will increase from 20 units/acre to 50-65 units/acre and some will increase to 65-80 units/acre.
- R1 corner lots will be allowed to develop with R2 standards to allow duplex, triplex or quadruplex. (Every R1 lot already allows up to 3 ADUs due to state laws)
- Current Progress:
- The final draft of the Housing Element and the General Plan amendment are approved by the majority of the Council on May 14. Unfortunately, the environmental impact analysis has minimal information, even though we are looking at an unprecedented growth rate with over 6,200 units to be permitted in 8 years.
- Although this is the first Council meeting where the draft Housing Element is on the agenda for discussion, there were no written answers provided from the staff, as normally provided for other items on the Council agenda. Given the time constraints, only a few questions were covered on the dais. Thus, many questions from the community and the council members still left unanswered:
- Here are some questions submitted and some with answers: 15 more questions without answers, questions are corner lots with answers, additional questions from the community without answers. - Next Step: The zoning ordinance to rezone properties will likely be on the City Council agenda on July 2nd or a subsequent meeting in July.
After that, there will be design standard updates, such as R2 standards for the corner lots. and other ordinances to implement the policies outlined in the Housing Element.
3. Information Memo posted on the City website:
City Council Informational Memos are now available on the City website. The information can be accessed from the City website at cupertino.org/memos and the City Councilmembers page. You can also find the page via the “Our City” banner and by entering search terms in the “Search the Site” box at the top of the website. Anyone may use the eNotification signup to receive informational memo updates by email.
4. How to Search an agenda item:
A community member showed me a way to search for items on the past city meetings:
● Go to this page: https://cupertino.legistar.com/Calendar.aspx ○ Make sure that “Calendar” is selected from the top row of tabs and the “List View” is selected from the bottom row of tabs.
○ Enter the search term, such as “investment report”. Choose the year or select “All Years”
