Purpose of the Response to Comments Document

This Response to Comments (RTC) document provides response s

to public and agency
written
comments received by the
City of
Hayward

on the Draft Environmental Impact Report (EIR) for the
proposed
4150 Point Eden Way Industrial
Development Project

(project).

The Draft EIR identifies the
likely environmental consequences associated with development of the proposed project and recommends
mitigation measures to reduce potentially significant impacts.

In addition to providing
responses to public and agency
comments

received on the Draft EIR, this RTC document also makes revisions to the Draft EIR, as necessary, in response to those comments or to make clarifications to
information presented
in the Draft EIR.

This document, together with the Draft EIR, constitutes the Final EIR for the proposed projec
t.

Re:

+
Draft Environmental Impact Report (DEIR)

Dear

Leigha Schmidt
:

Thank you for including the California Department of Transportation (Caltrans) in the environmental review process for the
4150 Point Eden Way

project
. We are
committed to ensuring that impacts to the State’s multimodal transportation system and to our natural environment are identified and mitigated to support a safe, sustainable, integrated and efficient transportation system. The following c
omments are based on our review of the
Ma
y

2021
DEIR.

Project Understanding

The proposed project is located at 4150 Point Eden Way in Hayward , adjacent
to
State Route (
SR
)
-
92 . The site is divided into the eastern component and western component. The proposed
project consists of a new industrial building
on the eastern component of the project site and establishing a wetland preserve on the western component. The building would be used to house U -
Haul storage pods, materials and trucks and their regional corpor ate offices. The
San Francisco Bay Trail is located on the eastern edge of the eastern component of the project site. The proposed project includes a land swap for East Bay Regional Park District to relocate the Bay Trail from the current location along th
e eastern property line to meander along the southern property line and then to turn north to run along the western property line. The proposed project also includes establishing a preserve on the western component of the project site, which are currently
characterized by salt evaporation ponds from
the former salt production operation on the project site that would remain in place.

Lead Agency

As the Lead Agency, the
City

of
Hayward

is responsible for all project mitigation,
including any needed improvem
ents to
SR
-

92. The project’s fair share
contribution, financing, scheduling, implementation responsibilities and lead agency monitoring should be fully discussed for all proposed mitigation measures.

Construction
-
Related Impacts

Potential impacts to the State Right
-
of
-
Way (ROW) from project
-
related
temporary access points should be analyzed. Mitigation for significant impacts due to construction and noise should be identified. Project work that require s
movement of oversized or excessive load vehicles on state roadways requires a transportation permit that is issued by Caltrans. To apply, visit:
https://dot.ca.gov/programs/traffic
-
operations/transportation
-
permits.

Prior to construction, coordination ma
y be required with Caltrans to develop a
Transportation Management Plan (TMP) to reduce construction traffic impacts to
SR
-
92 .

Encroachment Permit

Please be advised that any permanent work or temporary traffic control that encroaches onto the ROW require
s 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 th e State 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), ap
proved Design Standard Decision Document (DSDD),
approved encroachment exception request, and/or airspace lease agreement.

Your application package may be emailed to
[email protected]
.

To download the perm
it application and to obtain more information on all
required documentation, visit
https://dot.ca.gov/programs/traffic
-
operations/ep/applications
.

Equitable Access

If any Ca
ltrans 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.

Response
1 .1

The commenter
states
their understanding of the proposed project in

the form of

a summary
.

The commenter
’
s understanding of the proposed project is an accura
te summary of the project as
proposed and evaluated in the Draft EIR
.

This comment is noted and does not require revisions to the Draft EIR.

Response
1 .
2 The commenter
states that as the lead agency, the City of Hayward is responsible for project mitigation, including improve
ment
s to State Route 92
, and that

m
itigation measures should be
described in full, including project fair
-
share contributions, scheduling, implementation, and
monitoring.

CEQA requires lead agencies to mitigate or avoid potenti ally significant environmental impacts to
the extent feasible. Pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Section 15064.3(a), except for certain roadway capacity projects, a project’s effects on automobile delay shall not constitute a significant environmental effect. Ac
cordingly, the Draft EIR does not include mitigation requiring improvements to State Route 92 because there would be no CEQA -
related significant impacts to
State Route 92. Table ES
-
1 in the Executive Summary of the Draft EIR lists the required project miti
gation measures. As shown in Table ES
-
1, there are no mitigation measures pertaining to State Route 92.

There are also no project mitigation measures containing fair -
share contribution
requirements.

CEQA Guidelines Section 15097 requires the City, in its r ole as lead agency, to adopt a Mitigation
Monitoring and/or Reporting Program (MMRP). Accordingly, the City must adopt a MMRP for the project, if the Final EIR is certified and the project approved. The MMRP will list each requirement mitigation measure co
ntained in either the Draft EIR or the Initial Study, as well as the timing for implementation, monitoring requirements, and reporting requirements, as applicable. The MMRP will also identify the agency, organization or otherwise, responsible for carrying out the identified
mitigation measures.

This comment is noted and does not require revisions to the Draft EIR.

Response
1 .
3 The commenter
states
an opinion
that potential impacts of temporary access points from State right
-
of
-
way should be analyzed, and mi
tigation for significant impacts due to construction and noise should be identified. The commenter also states that use of state roadways by oversized or excessive load vehicles

for project construction requires a permit.

The proposed project does

not

incl
ude temporary access to the project site from State right -
of
-
way,
such as the right
-
of
-
way for State Route 92.

Construction access, as well as access during project
operation, would be from Point Eden Way, which is not a State roadway. While temporary acce ss
points from State Route 92 would not be required for construction, construction equipment would 8 City of Hayward

Response to Comments D
ocument

be hauled or delivered to the project site on the surrounding roadway network, including State Route 92. The project applicant would be responsible for obtai ning all regulatory permits and
approvals, including permits from Caltrans for the use of oversized or excessive load vehicles on State roadways.

Both the Initial Study and the Draft EIR evaluate the potential impacts of the entire proposed project, includ
ing project construction and project operation.

The analysis in the Initial Study and
Draft EIR identified both less
-
than
-
significant and significant
-
but
-
mitigable impacts related to
project construction. For example,
noise impacts of project construction
are analyzed on pages 83
through 90 of the Initial Study, which is included as Appendix A to the Draft EIR. As described therein, there would be no significant noise impacts resulting from project construction. Because noise impacts would be less than sign
ificant, no mitigation is required.

Therefore,
as construction impacts are analyzed and mitigated to the extent feasible and applicant in the Draft EIR,
no additional revisions to the Draft EIR are necessary in response to this comment.

Response
1 .
4 The co
mmenter
states that
coordination with Caltrans to develop a Transportation Management Plan may be required to reduce construction traffic impacts to State Route 92 .

This comment does not pertain to the Draft EIR or CEQA. Therefore, no additional revisions to the
Draft EIR are necessary in response to this comment. However, for informative purposes, as stated in Response 1.3 above, the project applicant would be responsible for obtaining all regulatory permits and approvals, including permits and approvals f rom Caltrans.

Response
1 .
5 The commenter
states that project traffic control measures within State roadway right -
of
-
way
require a Caltrans
-
issued encroachment permit.

This comment does not pertain to the Draft EIR or CEQA. Therefore, no additional revisions to the
Draft EIR are necessary in response to this comment. However, for informative purposes, as stated in Response 1.3 above, the project applicant would be responsible for obtaining all regulatory permits and approvals, including pe
rmits and approvals from Caltrans.

Response
1 .
6 The commenter
states that Caltrans facilities impacted by the project must meet American with Disabilities Act (ADA) standards after project completion, and bicycle and pedestrian access must be maintained du
ring construction.

The proposed project does not include modifications or changes to Caltrans facilities. The project is in proximity to State Route 92 and a land parcel known as Caltrans Pond. However, as described in Section 2,
Project Description
, of th
e EIR, no work or project activities are proposed within the State Route 92 right
-
of
-
way or on the Caltrans Pond property.

Therefore, no pedestrian or bicycle access
on Caltrans facilities would be affected by the proposed project.

This comment is noted an
d does
not require revisions to the Draft EIR.

Final Environmental Impact Report

Res
ponse to Comments Document

Letter
2 COMMENTER:

Laura J. Hidas
,
Manager of Water Resources
,
Alameda County Water District

DATE:

May 2
0 , 2021

Response
2 .1

The commenter
quotes some of the text from Mitigation Measure HAZ
-
2a on pages 4.3
-
13 and 4.3
-
14 of the Draft EIR
and asks that the mitigation measure be revised to require coordination with the San Francisco Regional Water Quality Control Board and the Alameda County Wa ter District
.

In response to this comment,
page
s

4.3 -
1 4

and

4.3 -
15 of the Draft EIR
are

revised

as follows
.

…
In the event that disturbed soil appears to contain contaminants of potential concern (COPCs), such as odors
, staining, and/or discoloration, work should halt in that area and an environmental professional (EP), such as a geologist, engineer, industrial hygienist, or environmental health specialist with expertise in these matters, shall be called to the site to oversee the work and determine safe construction and soil handling procedures.

Additionally, if contaminated soil is encountered, the project applicant shall coordinate with the San Francisco Bay Regional Water Quality Control Board and the Alameda County Water
District to determine adequate and proper remediation and handling actions.

…
If groundwater is encountered within the former remediation area during construction of the
project, as shown on Figure 4 of the RMP, an EP shall be called to the site to de termine
safe handling procedures. The groundwater shall be pumped into appropriate containers and samples shall be obtained for chemical analysis of the COPCs in accordance with a site sampling plan and the requirements of the waste disposal facility to wh ich the material is
sent.

The project applicant shall coordinate with the Regional Water Quality Control Board and the Alameda County Water District if possible contaminated groundwater is encountered
.

If water sample analytical results indicate the water
is free of all detectable
concentrations of COPCs, such water can be re
-
used at the site if deemed appropriate by
Alameda County and the RWQCB. If water sample analytical results indicate the water contains concentrations of COPCs above appropriate RWQCB s creening levels, such water
shall not be re
-
used at the site. The contractor and the EP shall elect to: (a) treat the groundwater on
-
site to render it free of detectable concentrations of COPCs (e.g. by activated carbon filtration); or, (b) transport the g
roundwater to a local treatment or
disposal facility for appropriate handling
…

No additional revisions to the Draft EIR are necessary in response to this comment.

Response
2 .
2 The commenter
recommends applying the San Francisco Bay Regional Water Quality C ontrol Board
document titled
Characterization and Reuse of Petroleum Hydrocarbon Impacted Soil and Inert Waste

for the reuse of soil excavated on
-
site. Additionally, the commenter states

that

a soil

RE: Comments on U
-
Haul Development
-

4150 Point Eden Way

Dear Ms. Leigha Schmidt,

East Bay Regional Park District (Park
District) appreciates the opportunity to comment on the U -
Haul
Development project at 4150 Point Eden Way.

In addition to the letters previously submitted on February 11, 2020 and December 14, 2020, the Park District would like to submit the following comm ents:

•

Alternative Site #2: 3636 Enterprise Avenue is in close proximity to

the Park District’s

ongoing
restoration efforts at Hayward Marsh.

If this site is selected, the Park District would like the opportunity to provide input on design elements.

•

Figure 2.4 land use designations shows the new parkland owned by the Park District as Baylands which is correct. Figure 2.5 Zoning Districts show
s that same area zoned as industrial park; this appears to be inconsistent and outdated.

T
hank you for considering these comments and concerns.

The Park D
i
strict
continues to
look

f
orward to
being involved in

the design

review and final approval of
land transfer
to relocate

the SF Bay Trail.

Please
reach out to Chantal Alatorre, Senior Planner at
calatorre@
ebparks.org

to discuss.

Best Regards,

Chantal Alatorre

East Bay Regional Park District

DATE:

May 24, 2021

Response
3 .1

The commenter
states
that the alternate site analyzed in the Draft EIR as Alternative 2 is in proximity to the East Bay Regional Park District’s (EBRPD) marsh restor ation efforts and would like
for the City to coordinate with the EBRPD
if
Alternative 2 is selected.

This comment does not question the

analysis or conclusions of the

Draft EIR. Therefore, no revisions
to the Draft EIR are necessary in response to this com
ment. However, for informative purposes, the
alternate site analyzed as Alternative 2 is a property located at 3636 Enterprise Avenue, as described on
P
age 6
-
4 of the Draft EIR. The commenter does not specify the exact location of the EBRPD’s marsh restora
tion efforts. However, based on aerial photography, there appears to be marshland within approximately 200 feet of the alternate site boundary , as well as potentially on
the alternate site
. Given this proximity, the City will
coordinate with

the EBRPD shou
ld Alternative 2
be selected and proceed.

Response
3 .
2 The commenter
states
that
parkland acquired by the EBRPD is shown as Industrial Park zoning district on Figure 2
-
5 of the Draft EIR, and that Industrial Park

zoning

is outdated information.

Figure 2
-
5 of
P
age 2
-
8 of the Draft EIR shows the current zoning districts for the project site and the surrounding area, generally 500 to 2,000 feet away, depending on direction. The parkland recently acquired by the EBRPD is nor
th of the project site and is shown as Industrial Park zoning district on Figure 2
-
5, as the commenter correctly states. However, the zoning districts shown on Figure 2 -
5 are
current and are not outdated

according to the City’s GIS webmap (
http://webmap.hayward
-
ca.gov/
)
.

The current and correct zoning districts are shown on Figure 2 -

5. Therefore, no revisions to
the Draft EIR are necessary in response to this comment.

While revisions to the Draft EIR are not nec
essary in response to this comment, it should be noted
that the General Plan land use designation for the EBRPD parkland property is Baylands, as shown on Figure 2
-
4 on
P
age 2
-
7 of the Draft EIR.

Response
3 .
3 The commenter states that the EBRPD looks forw
ard to being involved in the project and land
transfer to relocate the San Francisco Bay Trail.

The City will continue to coordinate with the EBRPD. As described on page 2 -
14 of the Draft EIR, the
EBRPD will be responsible for approving the proposed land e xchange to relocate the San Francisco
Bay Trail.
