2. Irreversible Changes from Environmental Actions
No significant irreversible environmental damage, such as what could occur as a result of an acci- dental spill or explosion of hazardous materials, is anticipated due to redevelopment activities associ- ated with the 2012 Master Plan. Project laboratory uses would be similar to those that currently exist on the site. These uses involve the use of hazardous materials, but associated risks are minimized with the implementation of standard health and safety protocols. Compliance with federal, State and local regulations, existing Gilead Sciences emergency response plans, and the mitigation measures identi- fied in Section IV.F, Hazards and Hazardous Materials, would reduce to a less-than-significant level the possibility that hazardous substances within the 2012 Master Plan area would cause significant environmental damage.

P:\CFS1201 Gilead North EIR\PRODUCTS\DEIR\Public\6-OtherCEQA.doc (12/12/12) PUBLIC REVIEW DRAFT 323 There are no other design or operational features of the 2012 Master Plan or its anticipated develop- ment that would lead to irreversible physical changes on the site.

3. Consumption of Nonrenewable Resources
Consumption of nonrenewable resources includes conversion of agricultural lands, loss of access to mining reserves, and use of non-renewable energy sources. The project site is located within an urbanized area of Foster City. No agricultural lands exist on the project site; therefore none would be converted to non-agricultural uses. In addition, the site does not contain known mineral resources and does not serve as a mining reserve; thus, implementation of the 2012 Master Plan would not result in the loss of access to mining reserves.

Construction of the project itself, including the use of fuel, steel, and concrete, among other materials, would also consume nonrenewable resources. However, the buildings and infrastructure constructed as part of the proposed project are expected to be long-lasting and to allow for changes in use over time (as the business needs of Gilead Sciences change), and construction methods are expected to be modern and efficient. Therefore, the use of these materials would not be considered wasteful.

Implementation of the 2012 Master Plan would increase the use of electricity, natural gas, and possibly other forms of energy. New buildings constructed on the site would likely be more energy efficient than existing buildings. However, new structures (and up to 3,700 new employees on the site) would substantially increase consumption of nonrenewable fuel sources. Implementation of Mitigation Measure GCC-1 would ensure that the Master Plan uses nonrenewable fuel sources efficiently, and would encourage the substitution of renewable fuel sources (e.g., wind turbines and photovoltaic cells) for nonrenewable sources. With implementation of Mitigation Measure GCC-1, along with compliance with State Title 24 energy efficiency standards, the proposed 2012 Master Plan would not result in a significant increase in the consumption of nonrenewable resources.

C. EFFECTS FOUND NOT TO BE SIGNIFICANT
Based on preliminary research and discussions with City staff, several environmental topics (includ- ing agriculture, biological resources, mineral resources, shade and shadow, and wind, and cultural and paleontological resources) were determined to not hold the potential for significant environmental effects. Each of these topics is discussed briefly below.

1. Agricultural Resources
The project site is developed with commercial and industrial uses and is located in an urban area.

Prior to 1939, the site was tidal marshland. Therefore, impacts to agricultural resources would not be significant.

2. Biological Resources
The project site is developed with buildings, parking lots, and landscaping, and has low biological value. Buildout of the proposed project would require the removal of some trees on the campus; however, wildlife species that would be expected to use or pass through the site are common species that are adapted to urban and suburban conditions, and would not be substantially adversely affected by buildout of the 2012 Master Plan. No habitat for candidate, sensitive, or special status species has

P:\CFS1201 Gilead North EIR\PRODUCTS\DEIR\Public\6-OtherCEQA.doc (12/12/12) PUBLIC REVIEW DRAFT 324 been identified on the site. In addition, the ecological value of Vintage Lake and San Francisco Bay would not be adversely affected once mitigation measures recommended in Section IV.E, Hydrology and Water Quality, are implemented.

3. Mineral Resources
The proposed project is within an area classified as MRZ-1, comprising “areas where adequate information indicates that no significant mineral deposits are present, or where it is judged that little likelihood exists for their presence.”3 The project would therefore not result in the loss of availability of a known mineral resource of value locally or to the region or State. In addition, the project site is not identified in a planning document as being a locally-important mineral resource recovery site.

Therefore, impacts to mineral resources would not be significant.

4. Shade and Shadow
Buildings constructed as part of the 2012 Master Plan would not exceed 192 feet in height. In the summer, as the sun rises in the east, morning shadows are cast to the west. As the sun moves higher across the sky, shadows decrease until noon, and then extend generally to the east as the sun sets in the west. In the winter, the sun is lower in the sky (to the south) and shadow coverage is greater. As the sun rises in the east, shadows are cast to the west-northwest. As the sun moves across the sky, shadows move from the west-northwest in the morning, to the north at noon, and to the east-northeast as the sun sets. The tallest buildings in the project site that would be developed as part of the 2012 Master Plan would be those located immediately to the north and south of Vintage Lake, in the central portion of the site. Due to the buffer provided by Vintage Lake and the roadways surrounding the site, the project is not likely to substantially increase shade or shadow cast on surrounding devel- opment or on the open space to the north and west of the site. Residential land uses in the project site vicinity are approximately 315 feet west of the project site, across Mariners Island Boulevard, and would not be substantially affected by morning shade cast by new buildings, which could be up to 10 stories in height. Building design would be considered during the use permit process. Shadow diagrams may be required as part of the design analysis; however, potential impacts as a result of increased shade or shadow are not anticipated to be significant because they would not compromise the use of public open space.

5. Wind
No significant wind-related impacts were identified based on the conceptual building plans submitted as part of the 2012 Master Plan. However, specific building designs and configurations would be evaluated by City staff for effects on wind patterns upon submittal of specific development plans by the project sponsor.

6. Cultural and Paleontological Resources.

Cultural and paleontological resources consist of remains that result from, in the case of cultural resources, a specific human activity, event, or occupation, or, in the case of paleontological resources,

P:\CFS1201 Gilead North EIR\PRODUCTS\DEIR\Public\6-OtherCEQA.doc (12/12/12) PUBLIC REVIEW DRAFT 325 pre-historic remains. With mitigation, no significant impacts related to cultural and paleontological resources would result from buildout of the 2012 Master Plan.

As discussed in the 2010 Master Plan EIR, no buildings were constructed on the project site until sometime after 1980. Thus, the buildings and structures that would be demolished by the 2012 Master Plan are of modern construction and do not possess significant historical associations or architectural qualities.

Similarly, the project area consists of tidal marsh deposited during the Holocene (10,000 years ago to present) up until the late 19th century, referred to commonly as “Bay Mud,” and engineered fill deposited during the early development of Foster City. The former marshland would have been unsuitable for prehistoric human habitation and the artificial fill would be unlikely to contain any significant paleontological resources. Bay Mud is known only to contain aged molluscan fossils, which are not significant. Thus the 2010 Master Plan EIR found that there was a low possibility of encountering prehistoric archaeological deposits or paleontological resources during buildout of the 2010 Master Plan. However, while unlikely, ground-disturbing activities associated with site prepara- tion, the construction of building foundations, and underground utilities could adversely affect previously unknown archaeological cultural and paleontological resources. This conclusion would also apply to the 2012 Master Plan.

The following standard conditions of approval (which are imposed uniformly on major development projects in the City) would be implemented as part of the 2012 Master Plan and would ensure that potential impacts to cultural and paleontological resources on the site would be less than significant.

Standard Condition of Approval CULT-1: If deposits of prehistoric or historical archaeological materials are encountered during project activities, all work within 25 feet of the discovery shall be redirected and a qualified archaeologist contacted to assess the find, consult with agencies as appropriate, and make recommendations for the treatment of the discovery. Prehistoric materials can include flaked-stone tools (e.g., projectile points, knives, choppers) or obsidian, chert, basalt, or quartzite tool-making debris; bone tools; culturally darkened soil (i.e., midden soil often containing heat-affected rock, ash and charcoal, shellfish remains, faunal bones, and cultural materials); and stone-milling equipment (e.g., mortars, pestles, handstones). Prehistoric archaeological sites often contain human remains. Historical materials can include wood, stone, concrete, or adobe footings, walls, and other structural remains; debris-filled wells or privies; and deposits of wood, glass, ceramics, metal, and other refuse.

Upon completion of the assessment, the archaeologist shall prepare a report documenting the methods and results of the analysis, and provide recommendations for the treatment of the archaeological deposits discovered. The report shall be submitted to the project applicant, the Foster City Community Development Department and the Northwest Information Center.

Project personnel shall not collect or move any archaeological materials or human remains and associated materials. Adverse effects to such deposits shall be avoided by project activities. If avoidance is not feasible (as determined by the City, in conjunction with the qualified archae- ologist), the archaeological deposits shall be evaluated for their eligibility for listing in the California Register. If the deposits are not eligible, avoidance is not necessary. If the deposits are eligible, avoidance of project impacts on the deposit shall be the preferred mitigation. If

Mitigation can include, but is not necessarily limited to: excavation of the deposit in accordance with a data recovery plan (see CEQA Guidelines Section 15126.4(b)(3)(C)) and standard archaeologi- cal field methods and procedures; laboratory and technical analyses of recovered archaeological materials; production of a report detailing the methods, findings, and significance of the archae- ological site and associated materials; curation of archaeological materials at an appropriate facility for future research and/or display; preparation of a brochure for public distribution that discusses the significance of the archaeological deposit; an interpretive display of recovered archaeological materials at a local school, museum, or library; and public lectures at local schools and/or historical societies on the findings and significance of the site and recovered archaeological materials. The City shall ensure that any mitigation involving excavation of the deposit is implemented prior to the resumption of actions that could adversely affect the deposit.

Standard Condition of Approval CULT-2: If paleontological resources are discovered during project activities, all work within 25 feet of the discovery shall be redirected and a qualified paleontologist shall be contacted to assess the situation, consult with agencies as appropriate, and make recommendations for the treatment of the discovery. Paleontological resources include fossil plants and animals, and evidence of past life such as trace fossils and tracks.4

Ancient marine sediments may contain invertebrate fossils such as snails, clam and oyster shells, sponges, and protozoa; and vertebrate fossils such as fish, whale, and sea lion bones.

Fossil vertebrate land animals may include bones of reptiles, birds, and mammals. Paleontolog- ical resources also include plant imprints, petrified wood, and animal tracks. Upon completion of the assessment, the paleontologist shall prepare a report documenting the methods and results, and provide recommendations for the treatment of the paleontological resources discov- ered. This report shall be submitted to the project applicant, the Foster City Community Development Department, and the paleontological curation facility. Adverse effects to paleon- tological resources shall be avoided by project activities. If avoidance is not feasible (as deter- mined by the City, in conjunction with the qualified paleontologist), the paleontological resources shall be evaluated for their significance. If the resources are not significant, avoid- ance is not necessary. If the resources are significant, adverse effects on the resources shall be avoided, or such effects shall be mitigated. Mitigation can include, but is not necessarily limited to: excavation of paleontological resources using standard paleontological field methods and procedures; laboratory and technical analyses of recovered materials; production of a report detailing the methods, findings, and significance of recovered fossils; curation of paleonto- logical materials at an appropriate facility (e.g., the University of California Museum of Pale- ontology) for future research and/or display; an interpretive display of recovered fossils at a local school, museum, or library; and public lectures at local schools on the findings and signif- icance of the site and recovered fossils. The City shall ensure that any mitigation involving excavation of the resource is implemented prior to project construction or actions that could adversely affect the resource.

D. SIGNIFICANT UNAVOIDABLE IMPACTS
The proposed project would result in the following significant and unavoidable impacts:
 The project would conflict with General Plan noise policies adopted to avoid or mitigate an environmental impact.
 Project-related traffic would create a clearly noticeable permanent change in the noise environment.
 Operation of the project would result in a significant project-level and cumulative net increase in criteria pollutant emissions, resulting in a conflict with the Bay Area Air Quality Management District 2010 Clean Air Plan.

REVIEW OF APPOINTMENT PROCESS

RECOMMENDATION
It is recommended that the City Council, by minute order:

1. Appoint of five (5) citizens each to new full terms from January 1, 2023 through December 31, 2025 on the Audit Committee and one (1) citizen to a new full term from January 1, 2023 through December 31, 2025 on the Traffic Review Committee; and

2. Provide direction on the process for Citizen Advisory Committee appointments going forward.

BACKGROUND/ANALYSIS
The Audit Committee consists of five members and all five terms expired on December 31, 2022. The Traffic Review Committee consists of six members and one public member whose term expired on December 31, 2022. A notice of vacancies to fill new terms on these citizen advisory committees was advertised in the local newspapers, posted, and displayed on the City's website and FCTV for five (5) weeks. The Audit Committee application deadline was extended due to limited application submissions.

The following people applied by the established deadline:

Audit Committee (5 Vacancies):

In order to provide for more efficiency in the appointment process, staff has reviewed all applications received by the deadline and provided a recommendation of appointments for City Council consideration. Additionally, all applications are attached for the City Council’s information. It should be noted that while staff has provided a recommendation, the City Council makes the final decision and may choose to appoint any of the applicants that applied by the application deadline. Below is staff’s recommendation for appointments to the Audit Committee and Traffic Review Committee:

3. Audie Chang

4. Falgoon Desai (applying for re-appointment)

5. Josef Rashty
Traffic Review Committee:

Additionally, staff is requesting direction from the City Council on how they would like to proceed with appointing members to Citizen Advisory Committees going forward. It had been past practice to invite all applicants to the meeting the appointments are being considered for interviews, with Councilmembers nominating applicants for appointment.

At the January 9 Council meeting, the City Council was provided with a staff recommendation for the Parks and Recreation Committee appointments in an effort to streamline the appointment process, and it was noted that the City Council may want to discuss the process going forward. The City Council may also consider other appointment procedures such as creating a Council ad hoc subcommittee to provide recommendations to the full Council or any other process they desire. Alternatively, the City Council may choose to instead add the Citizen Advisory Committee appointment process for discussion at the January 30 Vision and Policy Summit.
