RESOLUTION NO.
IN THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF LIVERMORE, CALIFORNIA A RESOLUTION ACCEPTING THE 2023 GENERAL PLAN HOUSING
ELEMENT ANNUAL PROGRESS REPORT
The California Department of Housing and Community Development’s (“HCD”) Housing Element regulations require cities and counties to complete annual reports on housing element progress pursuant to Government Code Section 65400.
Housing Element Annual Progress Reports must include the following information: (1) annual building permits issued by income level to show progress meeting Regional Housing Need Allocation (“RHNA”) targets; (2) progress implementing Housing Element programs to maintain, improve, and develop housing opportunities for all income levels; (3) annual housing development applications submitted; (4) annual housing units receiving a planning entitlement; (5) annual housing units receiving a certificate of occupancy or other form of readiness; (6) annual housing units proposed, approved, or constructed pursuant to Senate Bill 6, Senate Bill B 35, or Assembly Bill 2011; (7) housing units constructed and lot splits approved pursuant to Senate Bill 9; (8) housing units constructed in conjunction with a commercial development bonus; (9) housing units rehabilitated, preserved, or acquired for alternative adequate sites; (10) above moderate-income units converted to moderate income units; (11) list of locally owned lands included in the Housing Element sites inventory that have been sold, leased, or otherwise disposed of; (12) list of sites identified as surplus publicly owned land; (13) student housing units approved for lower income students for which a density bonus was granted; (14) disclosure of local tenant preference policy, if established; and (15) status of projects that received Local Early Action Planning funding.
In addition to being required by State law, the City of Livermore (“City”) must file Annual Progress Reports to maintain eligibility for regional and State grants. On-time filing of these reports ensures eligibility for competitive grant programs, such as the One Bay Area Grant competitive grant program administered by the Alameda County Transportation Commission. In the past, the City has received other grants from HCD for first-time homebuyer assistance such as Cal Home and the Local Housing Trust, as well as other park and public amenity projects predicated on timely submittal of the Annual Progress Report.
Accepting the 2023 Annual Progress Report is not a project as defined by the California Environmental Quality Action Guidelines Section 15378 because it will not cause a direct physical change in the environment or a reasonably foreseeable indirect physical change in the environment.
On March 25, 2024, the City Council held a duly noticed public hearing to consider the 2023 Housing Element Annual Progress Report, staff recommendations, and all public comments and testimony.

Name of Program Objective Timeframe in H.E Status of Program Implementation Program 1.1.1: Residential Sites Inventory
A) If a site included in the residential sites inventory is developed with nonresidential uses or with fewer units
than identified, verify that the sites inventory maintains sufficient capacity to meet the City’s RHNA. If it does not, identify additional sites/units to satisfy the RHNA, that will prevent displacement in low resource areas or facilitate access to moderate and high resource areas. This is an
ongoing program that the City has already been
implementing.
Maintain adequate sites to meet the City's
RHNA
When development of Housing Element sites occurs Complete. In 2023, the City did not develop any residential sites with non-residential units or with fewer units than required by the zoning designation.
Program 1.1.1: Residential Sites Inventory B)
Maintain an online map on the City’s website of vacant
residential acreage to assist developers with identifying land suitable for residential development throughout the city. The map could indicate current zoning and public
facilities and services to these sites. The map could also include land suitable for affordable development, based on the allowed density, in moderate and high resource
areas to facilitate new opportunities and expanded
housing mobility opportunities.
Assist at least 3 interested developers
annually to identify suitable land for
residential development.
Create map at the time of new Housing Element adoption. Update annually thereafter throughout the planning period.
Complete. Residential site inventory maps were created as part of the Housing Element Update for the 2023-2031 cycle, adopted by City Council on March 13, 2023.
To assist developers, the Housing Element and the site inventory maps identify vacant and underutilized sites in the Downtown Specific Plan Area, Arroyo Vista Neighborhood Plan, and Isabel Neighborhood Specific Plan, as well as sites in other areas of the city outside of specific plan areas.
Program 1.1.1: Residential Sites Inventory C)
Proactively identify areas to meet future RHNA
allocations as part of the comprehensive General Plan
Update.
Ensure General Plan and zoning
consistency to accommodate development
of 1,317 very low-, 758 low-, 696 moderateand 1,799 above moderate-income housing units.
By 2025 with the adoption of the General Plan Update Ongoing. The City is preparing a comprehensive General Plan Update that has identified several Focus Areas where land use changes could occur, including those areas that can accommodate development (or redevelopment) of residential uses to help meet RNHA allocations.
Program 1.1.1: Residential Sites Inventory D)
Following future amendments to the General Plan’s
Safety Element, ensure consistency with the Housing
Element, including the sites inventory.
n/a As needed Ongoing. The Safety Element was updated in 2018 to include a new goal, objectives and policies relating to and supporting the Tri-Valley Hazard Mitigation Plan, which will be approved by City Council in spring 2024. The goal, objectives and policies address natural hazard mitigation and protecting people, property and the environmental from natural hazards. In 2023, the City continued its comprehensive General Plan Update which will include updates to the Safety Element. All updates will be reviewed for consistency with the adopted Housing Element.

Monitor development fees to ensure they are reasonable
and do not unduly constrain development while
protecting the quality, health, and public safety of the community. Analyze the design review fee and all other
fees required for multifamily development and reduce
them if found to be a constraint. This would include
adjusting fees for smaller unit types like ADUs/JADUs,
tiny homes, and other missing middle housing. The
analysis process will include meeting with multifamily
developers/applicants to get their input regarding
constraints associated with fees.
n/a Following completion of the General Plan Update and year two of the Livermore Development Code Update in December 2024, the Community Development Department will engage the community and stakeholders and conduct a comprehensive development impact and entitlement fee update by September 2025. Specific steps for the first analysis and update during the planning period are outlined below. As part of this process, the City will examine development fees as they relate to housing to ensure they are not a barrier to new housing.
• The General Plan update process explores and evaluates different land use patterns and types.
• The land use evaluation will identify necessary infrastructure needs: transportation improvements,
water, sewer, stormwater, parks, schools, and library services, etc.
• As part of General Plan implementation, the City will identify total costs to construct new and upgrade existing systems. • Following adoption, the City will conduct fee studies to determine new infrastructure costs per land uses type necessary to cover costs over the 20-year time horizon of the General Plan, 2045. Timeline:
• Meet with developers/applicants by December 2024.
• Complete analysis of the design review fee and other multifamily fees by June 2025. The analysis will
include a nexus study conducted by an outside consultant. • City Council review and adoption by September 2025.
This timeline makes sense for Livermore because the City is comprehensively updating its General Plan, which is anticipated to be adopted in 2024/2025. Subsequently, the City will do the analysis and development fee update described above to reflect the new General Plan land use map and corresponding
infrastructure needs.
Ongoing. The City continues to use various practices to offset potential negative effects of development impact fees on housing development and cost. The City updated its development fees in 2023 to reflect cost of living changes, in accordance with local ordinance. In addition, the City has begun a comprehensive General Plan and Development Code Update that explores the different land use scenarios and will evaluate infrastructure needs to facilitate further economic analysis.

CITY COUNCIL STAFF REPORT ITEM NO. 6.2
DATE: March 25, 2024
TO: Honorable Mayor and City Council
FROM: Paul Spence, Assistant City Manager
SUBJECT: Resolution authorizing, approving, and adopting an amended Permanent Local Housing Allocation (PLHA) program five-year plan to reallocate funds to support the shelter and housing assistance provided at Vineyard 2.0 as well as rental assistance provided by City Serve, and authorizing the City Manager to apply for PLHA funds from the State Department of Housing and Community Development in an amount not-to-exceed $1,251,240 and execute grant agreements consistent with the program activities defined in the amended PLHA 2019-2023 plan.
RECOMMENDED ACTION
Staff recommends that the City Council adopt two resolutions:
1. Authorizing, approving, and adopting an amended PLHA Plan for 2019-2023 allocations, which is attached to the resolution as Exhibit A;
2. Authorizing the City Manager, or her designee, to execute the PLHA program application for the 2023 PLHA NOFA, the PLHA standard agreement, and any subsequent amendments or modifications thereto, as well as any other documents that are related to the PLHA program or the PLHA grant awarded to the City of Livermore;
3. Authorizing the City Manager to accept and appropriate the allocations for the amended PLHA plan if awarded in an amount not-to-exceed $1,251,240, and directing the City Manager or her designee, to sign and submit Fund Requests and all required reporting forms and other documentation as may be required by the State of California in connection with the grant; and
4. Authorizing the City Manager or her designee to sign all documents related to the execution of grant agreements with subgrantees receiving allocations of funds from the CA State Housing and Community Development PLHA program, including the selection of, and contracting with, service providers in amounts exceeding $100,000, consistent with the allowable activities in the PLHA program.
SUMMARY
The Permanent Local Housing Allocation (PLHA) program is a non-competitive block grant program designed to provide direct assistance to communities to increase the local housing stock through a wide 340
range of eligible activities, including the development of rental housing that is affordable to extremely low-income households and assistance to persons who are experiencing homelessness. On November 14, 2022, the City Council approved an application to State HCD for new funding under the PLHA program and approved a five-year plan (the “Plan”) for the use of an estimated total of $1,251,240 in grant funds.
Staff recommends the City Council approve an amended 2019-2023 PLHA Plan to reallocate funds to more activities that support the shelter and housing assistance provided at Vineyard 2.0 as well as rental assistance to be provided by City Serve to prevent or address homelessness. Staff also recommends City Council authorize the City Manager or her designee to execute the grant agreements with subgrantees receiving allocations consistent with the allowable activities defined in the amended PLHA 2019-2023 plan.
DISCUSSION
In 2017, Governor Brown signed the Building Homes and Jobs Act, which established a $75 recording fee on real estate documents to increase the supply of affordable homes in California and designated 70% of the revenue collected for the Permanent Local Housing Allocation (PLHA) program. On December 29, 2023, the State of California Department of Housing and Community Development (State HCD) issued a Notice of Funding Availability (NOFA) for the PLHA program utilizing these funds.
PLHA funding is a non-competitive block grant program designed to provide direct assistance to communities to increase the local housing stock through a wide range of eligible activities, including the development of affordable rental housing for extremely low-income households and assistance to persons experiencing homelessness. Because the number of real estate transactions recorded in each county will vary yearly, the revenues collected and funds available to local jurisdictions will fluctuate.
Each year, State HCD releases a NOFA for the revenue collected in the prior calendar year, and jurisdictions like the City of Livermore, entitled to a formula allocation, submit a streamlined application to access the funds.
On November 14, 2022, the City Council approved an application to State HCD for funding under the PLHA program and approved a five-year plan to use an estimated total of $1,251,240 in grant funds.
This PLHA plan serves as a guide for the City to plan for activities and submit annual applications to the CA Department of Housing and Community Development. The activities in the adopted PLHA plan included funds for operating subsidies and housing navigation for the Vineyard 2.0 project as well as funding for the rehabilitation and expansion of shared housing units serving extremely low-income and special needs populations.
Following plan approval, the City partnered with the Tri-Valley REACH (REACH) to assist with funding for two rehabilitation projects that supply supportive, affordable shared homes for extremely low-income tenants with intellectual and/or developmental disabilities. Both shared homes provide options for residents to live independently, work, and volunteer in the community. The scope of rehabilitations included expansion of the bedroom spaces to accommodate additional tenants, structural improvements, interior renovation, landscaping design, and accessibility improvements. The latest rehabilitation project located on Camden Common opened its doors to the residents on February 14, 2024. No additional projects for this activity have been identified.
Construction of the Vineyard 2.0 project was finished in December of 2023, and the Vineyard Resource 341
Center opened its doors on January 22, 2024. In addition to 24 units of permanent housing for extremely low-income households, the Vineyard Resource Center provides a multitude of services to address the homelessness crises, such as housing navigation assistance, shower and laundry services, and an overnight refuge shelter operated by Open Heart Kitchen through their Open Heart Refuge program. All funding needed for operation of the residential units has been secured from other (non-PLHA) sources and therefore operating subsidies for the project are no longer needed.
The additional PLHA funding will allow the 20-bed shelter to sustain operations seven days a week providing overnight refuge for persons from inclement weather along with breakfast and dinner through Open Heart Kitchen, daily showers, laundry services, and access to housing navigation. Staff recommends amending the five-year PLHA plan to reallocate funds to additional activities that assist persons who are experiencing or at risk of homelessness per the PLHA guidelines. These activities include but are not limited to providing rapid rehousing, rental assistance, and supportive case management services that allow people to obtain and retain housing and operating and capital costs for navigation centers and emergency shelters.
The proposed Plan amendment will also allow the City to allocate flexible-use funds to Housing Consortium of the East Bay (HCEB) through the Vineyard Resource Center housing navigator, and to CityServe, or other providers for rental assistance. It reflects the feedback received from the communitybased organizations about the needs of the unhoused community members. If approved, The City of Livermore will contract with HCEB, Open Heart Kitchen, and City Serve of the Tri-Valley to support operating costs for the Vineyard Resource Center, Open Heart Refuge shelter, and CityServe to address the acute homeless crisis and provide services to residents in the Tri-Valley at risk for homelessness.
The following table contains activity estimates for the proposed PLHA Plan allocations:
PLHA Activity / Funding Year 2020 2021 2022* 2023** 2020-2023** Shelter Operations/Housing
Navigation/Rental Assistance

**Pending 2024 PLHA NOFA funding release.
The City has received approval from HCD for PLHA allocations for years 2020 and 2021, therefore once approved by City Council, staff will move forward with the proposed agencies to contract for those funds.
To access PLHA funds, the City Council must adopt the State-approved Resolution approving the amended plan, attached as Exhibit A, authorize the City Manager, or her designee to apply for the 2023 PLHA NOFA funding, and adopt the resolution authorizing the City Manager, or her designee, to execute all documents related to the execution of grant agreements, with subgrantees receiving allocations of funds from the CA State Housing and Community Development PLHA program.
FISCAL IMPACTS
Amending the plan will redistribute annual funds between the approved projects. The City was awarded $859,619 in PLHA funds for the first three years of the grant term and estimates that a total of 342
$1,251,240 will be allocated over the five-year planning period. The PLHA program does not require local matching funds.

The funding will support operations of the Vineyard Resource Center project. The scope of services provided includes the full-time position of Housing Navigator,operations of the seven-day per week shelter for persons experiencing homelessness, and rental assistance for persons experience or at risk of homelessness. The Housing Navigator position will provide necessary housing guidance and supportive case management to assist homeless individuals and households in finding permanent housing, housing applications, and housing counseling. The rental assistance programs will provide homeless individuals and households of the Tri-Valley with deposit assistance and termed rental assistance as needed to prevent or eliminate homelessness. §302(c)(4) Plan Rev. 02/01/24
§302(c)(4)(A) Describe the manner in which allocated funds will be used for eligible activities. The proposed amended plan designates 2020-2023 funding allocations to be used for the services provided through programs assisting the homeless population with rapid rehousing, rental assistance, overnight shelter operations, intensive case management, and other supportive services. These are examples of the services that are provided at the Vineyard Resource Center (VRC) by HCEB, Open Heart Kitchen Overnight Refuge, and CityServe.Vineyard Resource Center (Vineyard RC) is a mixed-use development, that addresses key homeless crisis areas. The Vineyard RC opened its doors on January 22, 2024. Overnight Shelter Refuge at the Vineyard RC is operated by Open Heart Kitchen and is open seven days a week providing meals through Open Heart Kitchen; Overnight Refuge Shelter for 20 beds including breakfast and dinner daily; showers and laundry services. During the first month of operation, the Vineyard Resource Center and Open Heart Kitchen facility served 447 unduplicated clients and provided 346 showers, 93 hygiene services, and 133 laundry services. The acute need in the community is to maintain the shelter open 7 days a week. Staff proposes to allocate year 2,3,4,5 of the PLHA funding to expand operations of the Center for the shelter to remain open 7 days a week to provide continuous care for persons experiencing homelessness, and provide housing navigation and rental assistance.§302(c)(4)(B) Provide a description of the way the Local government will prioritize investments that increase the supply of housing for households with incomes at or below 60 percent of Area Median Income (AMI).The Vineyard Housing Resource Center serves the homeless population of Tri-Valley, the services are targeted to households at or below 30% AMI. All grant agreements will contain provisions in conformance with federal rules contained in 24 CFR Section 576.104. Funds will be used to operate the shelter and provide housing navigation services in conjunction with the shelter and homeless resource center. Rental assistance will be offered through the housing navigator program and other services providers as necessary to help a person experiencing or at risk of homelessness to move as quickly as possible into permanent housing and achieve stability. Rental assistance will be offered in a manner consistent with Housing First practices and PLHA program regulations. §302(c)(4)(C) Provide a description of how the Plan is consistent with the programs set forth in the Local Government’s Housing Element. The proposed plan amendment aligns itself with the current Housing Element, adopted by the City Council in March of 2023. The implementing actions address multiple goals and build upon each other, creating a comprehensive approach to meeting the community’s housing needs. The following goals of the adopted Housing Element are aligned with the proposed plan amendment:Goal 1. Diverse Housing Choices. - Policy 1.5: Facilitate the development of housing for individuals with special needs, including those with disabilities, large families, seniors, and people experiencing homelessness. Program 1.5.3: Special Housing Needs: The Rental Assistance program targets unhoused families, and individuals by providing long-term rental assistance. Goal 3. Affordable Housing Production and Preservation; Policy 3.2: Pursue and utilize a variety of funding resources and partnerships to develop housing that is affordable to lower- and moderate-income households, families, and seniors. Program 3.2.2: Support Acquisition and Development of New Sites for Affordable Housing. The plan amendment will provide acutely needed funding for nonprofit organizations like the Housing Consortium of the East Bay (HCEB) which currently operates the HRC. Program 3.2.3: Partner with Affordable Housing and Service Providers; and Program 3.4.2: Rental Assistance and Tenant Support Services. The Rental Assistance program will be administered by both HCEB and CityServe, providers of crisis stabilization for homeless families and individuals in the Tri-Valley area. Open Heart Kitchen operates the Overnight Refuge Shelter as part of the Vineyard Resource Center.

SUMMARY
350
In September 2021, Overton Moore Properties applied to the City of Livermore for several land use entitlements for the properties known as SMP 39 and SMP 40 (Project). The Project includes annexation and development of SMP 39 (Assessor Parcel Number [APN] 904-3-1-4) and SMP 40 (APN 904-10-2-2) with approximately 1.51 million square feet of light industrial uses. In addition, the Project includes annexation of four additional parcels (APNs 904-10-2-3, -5, -7, and -8) located east of SMP 40 (Additional Annexation Only Parcels). Development is not proposed on the Additional Annexation Only Parcels because they are proposed to remain as open space.
SMP 39 is vacant grassland and approximately 52 acres, located west of the Oaks Business Park and south of West Jack London Boulevard and the Livermore Municipal Airport. SMP 40 is also vacant grassland and approximately 41 acres, located south of the Oaks Business Park and west of Isabel Avenue/State Route (SR) 84. The Additional Annexation Only Parcels are also vacant grassland (except for Zone 7 flood control facilities and PG&E infrastructure) and consist of four parcels ranging from 0.2 acre to 5.76 acres, located immediately east of SMP 40. See Attachment 5, Approximate Project Site Boundaries Map for the Project location.
The Project includes off-site roadway, bicycle lane, and other public improvements along West Jack London Boulevard adjacent to SMP 39 and on- and off-site trail improvements adjacent to and east of SMP 40. The proposed Planned Development zoning for both SMP 39 and SMP 40 will allow some typical light industrial uses such as warehouse and distribution (although limited to a maximum of 20% of floor space in SMP 39) but other even more economically desirable and higher job generating uses such as research and development facilities, professional and administrative offices, experimental and testing laboratories, and manufacturing uses.
The Project requires several land use entitlements including an Annexation/Prezoning, Pre-Annexation and Development Agreements, General Plan Amendment, Zoning Map Amendment, Planned Development, Development Code Amendment, Vesting Tentative Subdivision Maps, and Site Plan Design Review for SMP 40. A Site Plan Design Review entitlement is required for the actual development of SMP 39 and SMP 40 but is only currently proposed for SMP 40 at this time. A Site Plan Design Review entitlement will be required at a later date for the future development of SMP 39 and will be subject to Planning Commission review and approval. See Attachment 1, Staff Analysis, for more details on the project.
According to the applicant, they plan to construct the two SMP 40 buildings in the very near future. The applicant has entered into a lease agreement with Lam Research, a company currently located in Livermore at 1 Portola Avenue, to expand their business and occupy the larger of the two buildings on the SMP 40 property.
The Planning Commission (PC) voted unanimously to recommend the City Council approve the Project on March 5, 2024, as described in more detail in the Discussion section below. See Attachments 2, 3 and 4 below for the PC staff report, supplemental materials and minutes.
DISCUSSION
BACKGROUND
On September 22, 2021, Overton Moore Properties (Applicant) applied to the City of Livermore for several land use entitlements to bring SMP 39 into the City’s Sphere of Influence (SOI), annex SMP 39 and SMP 40, and develop SMP 39 and SMP 40 with approximately 1.51 million square feet (sf) of light 351
industrial land uses. The original Project proposal included bringing SMP 38 (west of and adjacent to SMP 39) into the City of Livermore’s SOI and annexing four additional parcels (Additional Annexation Only Parcels) east of SMP 40. City staff requested including SMP 38 and the Additional Annexation Only Parcels to create logical city boundaries that align with the City’s South Livermore Urban Growth Boundary (UGB). Collectively, these elements constituted the SMP 39/SMP 40 Project (Project). Refer to Attachment 5 for the Approximate Project Site Boundaries Map.
The SMP numbers are Surface Mining Permit (SMP) numbers applicable to each site. The Surface Mining Permits for each of the sites were approved in 2004 by Alameda County to allow for the extraction of sand and gravel (i.e., aggregate) within the sites; however, aggregate mining has not occurred within any of the sites, and they are currently vacant grassland. Staff is recommending the actual SMP Surface Mining Permit rights be forfeited by the applicant through the Development Agreement and conditions of approval, to guarantee mining does not occur on SMP 39 and 40 in the future.
The Project originally included an SOI amendment to move SMP 38 from the City of Pleasanton’s SOI to the City of Livermore’s SOI. Approval of the SOI amendment would not have altered the existing land use or zoning designation of SMP 38. Annexation of SMP 38 into the City of Livermore was not proposed as part of the Project, nor was development of SMP 38. However, during the entitlement review process, the City of Pleasanton expressed concerns related to potential impacts to their city from the future SMP 38 development. Following discussion with the City of Pleasanton, SMP 38 was removed from the Project. SMP 38 is not shown on the project maps since it is no longer part of the project.
The City of Pleasanton staff has agreed to participate in a future discussion related to the SOI amendment for SMP 38 when a development proposal is brought forth for the property. Furthermore, City of Pleasanton staff is proposing a resolution of support to move SMP 39 into Livermore's SOI for consideration by their City Council on March 19, 2024.
On November 8, 2021, the City Council authorized staff to proceed with concurrent review of the requested Project entitlements and negotiating terms for a Pre-Annexation/Development Agreement with the Applicant. On March 28, 2022, the City entered into a Professional Services Agreement with Rincon Consultants, Incorporated to provide planning assistance on the entitlement and environmental review.
The Project was reviewed by the City Airport Commission and Alameda County Airport Land Use Commission (ALUC) on October 2, 2023, and October 9, 2023, respectively and determined the project to be compatible with the Livermore Airport Land Use Compatibility Plan (ALUCP), with the condition that avigation easements be required for each of the Project properties.
PROJECT DESCRIPTION
The Project covers approximately +/-105 acres near the northwest portion of the City in unincorporated Alameda County. SMP 39, SMP 40, and the Additional Annexation Only Parcels are within the City of Livermore South Livermore UGB; however, SMP 39 is within the City of Pleasanton’s SOI. Accordingly, an SOI amendment is proposed to bring SMP 39 into City of Livermore's SOI (Attachment 6).
SMP 39 is vacant grassland and approximately 52 acres, located west of the Oaks Business Park and south of West Jack London Boulevard and the Livermore Municipal Airport. SMP 40 is also vacant grassland and approximately 41 acres, located south of the Oaks Business Park and west of Isabel Avenue/State Route (SR) 84. The Additional Annexation Only Parcels are also vacant grassland (except 352
for Zone 7 flood control facilities and PG&E infrastructure) and consist of four parcels ranging from 0.2 acre to 5.76 acres, located immediately east of SMP 40. These four parcels are separately owned by four different agencies including the City of Livermore, Zone 7 Water Agency, PG&E, and Caltrans.
In addition to the SOI amendment for SMP 39, the Project includes annexation of SMP 39 into the City of Livermore. The Project also includes annexation of SMP 40 and the Additional Annexation Only Parcels, which are currently within the City of Livermore’s SOI, into the City of Livermore (Attachment 7). The Project includes development of SMP 39 and SMP 40 with approximately 1.51 million sf of light industrial uses. Development is not proposed on the Additional Annexation Only Parcels.
The proposed PD zoning for both SMP 39 and 40 will allow some typical light industrial uses such as warehouse and distribution (although limited to a maximum of 20% of floor space in SMP 39) as well as other more economically desirable and higher job generating uses such as research and development facilities, professional and administrative offices, experimental and testing laboratories, and manufacturing uses (Attachment 25). In addition, SMP 40 will be subdivided into two parcels to accommodate two industrial tilt-up buildings: one totaling 470,530 sf and the other 288,750 sf. SMP 39 is only being subdivided at this time into six parcels for future light industrial buildings projected to range in size from approximately 89,400 to 183,600 sf of building floor area.
The Project includes construction of all necessary public improvements including street and utility connections and pedestrian, bicycle, and landscaping improvements. Specifically, for SMP 39, the Project includes right-of-way dedication for the ultimate build out of West Jack London Boulevard, as described in the City’s General Plan. Ultimate buildout of West Jack London Boulevard is anticipated to consist of four through lanes, including two through lanes on each side, a landscaped median in the center of the roadway, as well as an eight-foot bicycle lane on each side of the roadway, separated from the through lanes by a two-foot buffer. The applicant will be required to build part of these improvements along their frontage on the south side of West Jack London Boulevard, including the median, when the applicant develops the SMP 39 site.
The Project also includes re-construction of an at-grade, paved multi-use trail within a 38.5-foot trail easement along the SMP 39 frontage on the south side of West Jack London Boulevard, consistent with the City’s Active Transportation Plan (ATP). This would provide a connection to the existing trail along the western boundary of the Oaks Business Park and eventually to the Arroyo Mocho Trail on the east side of Isabel Avenue/SR 84.
The Project includes a paved at-grade, on-site trail along the boundaries of the SMP 40 property, consistent with the ATP. Specifically, the on-site trail would extend from the northeastern corner of the SMP 40 property, along the property’s eastern, southern, and western boundaries, before connecting to an existing off-site paved at-grade trail north of the SMP 40 property, which extends along the west side of the Oaks Business Park to the north and connects to the trail on West Jack London Boulevard. These on-site trail alignments for SMP 39 and 40 are shown in Attachments 8 and 9, respectively.
In addition, the Project includes a new off-site trail connection from the Project site to the existing Arroyo Mocho Trail consistent with the ATP, located on the east side of Isabel Avenue/ SR 84. Three options for the off-site trail connection were considered and evaluated in the EIR, including the following, and shown in Attachment 10:
Trail Connection Option 1 – At-Grade Crossing at Discovery Drive; 353
Trail Connection Option 2 – Undercrossing at Isabel Bridge; and Trail Connection Option 3 – Overcrossing of Isabel Avenue/SR 84.
Following evaluation of each of the trail connection options, including pedestrian and bicyclist safety, ease of use, and storm maintenance-related considerations, Planning Commission and staff are recommending Trail Connection Option 3 – Overcrossing of Isabel Avenue/SR 84.
If the City Council approves Trail Connection Option 3, the applicant will prepare design and construction documents and submit necessary permits in coordination with the City, Caltrans, and other responsible agencies. The applicant will also pay a portion of bridge costs and construct the bridge as explained in the Development Agreement section in Attachment 1, Staff Analysis.
The Project includes the following entitlements:
General Plan Amendment (GPA) 21-001 to designate SMP 39 and SMP 40 as Low Intensity Industrial (LII) and the Additional Annexation Only Parcels as Parks, Trailways, and Recreation Areas (OSP), consistent with their respective adjacent land uses.
Annexation/Prezoning (APZ) 21-003 to prezone SMP 39 and SMP 40 to Planned Development – Industrial (PD-I) 22-001 to allow for a mixture of industrial and related uses and prezoning the Additional Annexation Only Parcels to Open Space-Floodplain (OS-F). In addition, the entitlement would authorize an application to the Alameda County Local Agency Formation Commission (LAFCo) for a SOI change and annexation into the City of Livermore. LAFCo is the final approval authority for the annexation and SOI change. The City Council is the final review authority on the remainder of the listed land use entitlements.
Zoning Map Amendment (ZMA) 21-002, Planned Development Zoning (PD-I) 22-001, and Development Code Amendment (DCA) 21-005 to rezone SMP 39, SMP 40, and the Additional Annexation Only Parcels. SMP 39, SMP 40, and the Additional Annexation Only Parcels are currently zoned Agricultural (A) in Alameda County with an overlay permitting quarry operations on SMP 39 and SMP40 only. These entitlements would rezone SMP 39 and SMP 40 to PD-I 22-001 that will allow a mixture of Industrial and related uses and the Additional Annexation Only Parcels to OS-F for continued open space protection near the Arroyo Mocho.
Subdivision (SUB) 21-008 and (SUB) 21-009 to approve a Vesting Tentative Tract Map for SMP 39 (Attachment 8) and a Vesting Tentative Parcel Map for SMP 40 (Attachment 9). SMP 39 will be subdivided into six lots, ranging in size from approximately 5.75 acres to 11.76 acres along with associated improvements. SMP 40 will be subdivided into two lots, approximately 24.1 acres and
16.5 acres, respectively, along with associated improvements.
Site Plan Design Review (SPDR) 21-008 to ensure the architecture and landscape design of the project complies with City standards. This entitlement is for SMP 40 only. A Site Plan Design Review entitlement will be required at a later date for the future development of SMP 39 and will be subject to review and approval by Planning Commission.
Development Agreement (DA) 21-001 and DA 23-002 to secure the Applicant's entitlements until the Project properties are annexed into the City. Further, the DAs establish terms and obligations for public benefits, including the Applicant’s financial contribution toward and construction of the off-site trail improvements and financial contribution to the City’s Office of Innovation and Economic Development Department, which is to be used towards marketing SMP 39 for the desired land uses identified in PD-I 22-001.
DESCRIPTION, CONTEXT, AND ANALYSIS
354
For additional project description detail and site context, and a summary of the proposed Environmental Impact Report (EIR) required per CEQA, please review the attached Staff Analysis memo (Attachment 1).
PLANNING COMMISSION AND PUBLIC COMMENT
On March 5, 2024, the Planning Commission considered the Project at a public hearing and unanimously voted to recommend the City Council approve the Project subject to minor modifications to the design of on-site trail connection, the Transportation Demand Management (TDM) Program reporting requirements, and tree species located near the proposed employee break areas. The Draft Planning Commission meeting minutes summarize the discussion (Attachment 4), which included public comments supporting and opposing the project, the use of local labor, and the environmental analysis.
Refer to Attachment 2 for the Planning Commission staff report.
Prior to the public hearing, staff received 10 public comments (Attachment 3) regarding the use of local labor and the environmental analysis. In addition, the Planning Commission discussed the proposed zoning, environmental analysis, site plan, the proposed transportation demand management program, stormwater facilities, agricultural impacts, LAFCo process, the proposed development agreements, and anticipated community benefits.
ENVIRONMENTAL DETERMINATION
As described in the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) Resolution, an Environmental Impact Report was prepared for the Project. Planning Commission and staff recommend the City Council certify the Final Environmental Impact Report (see Attachment 11). A summary of the findings and conclusions in the Final EIR are described in Attachment 1, Staff Analysis.
FISCAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE IMPACTS
Upon annexation, the City would receive a portion of Project area’s property taxes and sales taxes.
These would be collected and deposited into the City’s General Fund, which the City would use to fund essential City services. These taxes and fees would offset costs the City would incur associated with providing urban services such as maintaining street and sidewalk improvements, police and fire, parks, library services and other community amenities. In addition, the City would receive annual sewer service fees used to maintain the wastewater treatment and conveyance system. The Project will also create an undetermined amount of temporary construction jobs and permanent jobs to serve the future businesses that will have positive economic spin-off benefits for the local economy.
The Applicant will pay the costs associated with the annexation process including the preparation of all necessary LAFCo application materials and City staff time through the City’s Annexation/Prezoning application fee.
The Applicant will also pay all the design and construction costs of public improvements, with the exception of a portion of the off-site trail improvement construction costs. As described in the Staff Analysis (Attachment 1), the estimated cost of these improvements are approximately $2.5 million. The Development Agreement for SMP 40 requires the Applicant to contribute $750,000 towards these improvements. The City and Applicant will diligently pursue grant funding opportunities to fund the remaining cost. In the event that a grant funding opportunity is not successful, the City will credit the Applicant for constructing the off-site trail improvements using Traffic Impact Fees, less the $750,000 Applicant contribution.
355
Finally, the applicant will contribute $100,000 to the City's Office of Innovation and Economic Development Department to help market the SMP 39 site to permitted and desirable businesses such as research and development facilities, professional and administrative offices, experimental and testing laboratories, and manufacturing uses that support an innovation-driven economy, generate high wage jobs, or generate substantial sales tax revenues.

TO: Honorable Mayor and City Council
FROM: Paul Spence, Assistant City Manager
SUBJECT: Hearing to consider a request for an Annexation/Prezoning, Pre-Annexation and Development Agreements, General Plan Amendment, Zoning Map Amendment, Development Code Amendment, Vesting Tentative Parcel Map, Vesting Tentative Tract Map, Planned Development, and Site Plan Design Review for the SMP 39 and 40 Project to zone for and develop light industrial uses near the northwest part of the City.
PROJECT SITE CONTEXT
SMP 39 is vacant grassland and approximately 52 acres, located west of the Oaks Business Park and south of West Jack London Boulevard and the Livermore Municipal Airport. SMP 40 is also vacant grassland and approximately 41 acres, located south of the Oaks Business Park and west of Isabel Avenue/State Route (SR) 84. The Additional Annexation Only Parcels are also vacant grassland (except for Zone 7 flood control facilities and PG&E infrastructure) and consist of four parcels ranging from 0.2 acre to 5.76 acres, located immediately east of SMP 40. These four parcels are separately owned by four different agencies including the City of Livermore, Zone 7 Water Agency, PG&E, and Caltrans.

STAFF ANALYSIS
General Plan
The Livermore General Plan currently designates SMP 39, SMP 40, and the Additional Annexation Only Parcels as Open Space/Sand and Gravel (OSP/S&G). The OSP/S&G designation is applied to areas of Statewide concern due to their demonstrated level of quality aggregate. This designation primarily allows for open space, with sand and gravel extraction, processing and related activities as a secondary use.
The Project proposes to amend the existing OSP/S&G designation to Low Intensity Industrial (LII) for the SMP 39 and SMP 40 properties to allow for light industrial development. In addition, the Project proposes to change the existing OSP/S&G designation for the Additional Annexation Only Parcels to Parks, Trailways, and Recreation Areas (OSP). Development is not proposed on the Additional Annexation Only Parcels.
The LII designation includes manufacturing, warehousing, research and development facilities, fullyenclosed recycling facilities, and administrative and professional offices. Low-intensity industrial uses are focused around the Livermore Municipal Airport. The OSP designation is applied to areas to be maintained as permanent or semi permanent open space because they have valuable natural or scenic resources, or because they are unsuitable for development due to environmental hazards. This designation includes parks and trails, creeks and arroyos, and areas of scenic value.
The proposed General Plan Amendment to change the land use designation for SMP 39 and SMP 40 from OSP/S&G to LII would is consistent with the following General Plan policies:
Objective LU-1.1 Locate new development so as to create a consolidated pattern of urbanization, maximizing the use of existing public services and facilities.
Response: The project supports light industrial development in proximity to existing light industrial development and includes the use of existing public streets, services, and facilities.
Policy LU-1.1.P1. The City shall annex all lands currently under County jurisdiction and within the ATTACHMENT 1
360
4 UGB prior to development in areas designated for urban uses.
Response: The project includes the annexation of land currently under Alameda County jurisdiction and within the South Livermore UGB.
Objective LU-4.2 Ensure that new development complements its local context and minimizes impacts on the environment
Response: The light industrial development is compatible with and complements the existing light industrial context, including the Livermore Municipal Airport and the Oaks Business Park. The Project will minimize impacts on the environment by locating development adjacent to these existing industrial uses, limiting residents and other sensitive receptors to impacts such as noise.
Objective LU-4.3 Designate appropriate areas for industrial uses in order to prevent negative impacts on the health, safety, and welfare of residents.
Response: The project proposes industrial development similar to the industrial uses located at the existing Oaks Business Park. SMP 39 is located approximately 2,745 feet from the nearest single-family residences and SMP 40 is located approximately 884 feet from the nearest single-family residences, with State Hwy. 84 located in between. Therefore, these properties are appropriately designated as light industrial use.
Policy LU-4.3.P1. Industrial development shall be subject to design principles and consistent with General Plan policies.
Response: The project’s site plan and architectural design is consistent with the Livermore Design Standards and Guidelines.
Objective LU-4.4 Protect the Municipal Airport from encroachment by incompatible uses.
Response: SMP 39 and SMP 40 include light industrial development, which is a compatible land use regarding noise, height/flight clearance, public safety, etc. per the Alameda County Airport Land Use Compatibility Plan (ALUCP), which was confirmed by the Alameda County Airport Land Use Commission on October 9, 2023. In addition, the Livermore Airport Commission on October 2, 2023, found the Project compatible with the Livermore Airport Protection Area and the ALUCP with the condition that avigation easements be required for each of the Project properties. This condition is included in the conditions of approval for the Project (Attachment 21).
Policy LU-4.4.P1. The City shall encourage development of property within the immediate vicinity of the Airport for light industrial and transportation uses to the extent that noise standards and flight clearance requirements are maintained, and environmental impacts are adequately mitigated.
Response: See response above.
Objective CIR-2.3 Provide a bicycle, pedestrian, and trails network.
Response: The project supports this objective by adding to the bicycle, pedestrian and trails network along West Jack London Boulevard, along the SMP 40 property, and an off-site trail connection over Isabel Avenue/SR 84 creating a connection to the Arroyo Bike Trail.
Objective ED-1.1 Implement policies and actions that will encourage existing businesses to remain and grow in Livermore, and attract a range of new businesses to locate in Livermore.
Response: The Project provides new opportunities for job creation by allowing existing businesses to grow in Livermore and attracting new businesses to locate in Livermore, including desired uses in SMP 39 and SMP 40 such as research and development facilities, professional and administrative offices, experimental and testing laboratories, and manufacturing uses. Furthermore, the proposed Development Agreements require the Applicant to provide a financial contribution to the City’s Office of Innovation and Economic ATTACHMENT 1
361
5 Development Department, which is to be used towards marketing SMP 39 for the desired land uses identified in PD-I 22-001.
Annexation/Prezoning
SMP 39, SMP 40, and the Additional Annexation Only Parcels are within the City of Livermore South Livermore UGB; however, SMP 39 is within the City of Pleasanton’s SOI. Accordingly, an SOI Amendment SMP 39 is proposed in order to move SMP 39 into the City of Livermore’s SOI.
SOI areas are used to plan for the probable physical boundaries and service area of a local agency.
Annexation is the process by which unincorporated land is made a part of (incorporated into) the City of Livermore. The Alameda County LAFCo is the local agency that oversees boundary changes, including SOI amendments and annexations, to cities and special districts. Generally, LAFCo’s purpose is to ensure the orderly formation of local government agencies to preserve agricultural and open space lands, discourage urban sprawl, and ensure efficient provision of urban services. The SOI change and annexation will require final approval by LAFCo if the City Council endorses an application to LAFCo.
It should be noted that annexation of these properties requires landowner consent as part of the application to LAFCo. This includes consent from Zone 7, PG&E, and Caltrans for annexation of the Additional Annexation Only Parcels. At the time of writing this report, landowner consent has been provided by Zone 7 only. Staff is continuing to pursue landowner consent from PG&E and Caltrans. Staff recommends the Additional Annexation Only Parcels remain part of the project since altogether, these parcels create a logical city boundary. If the landowner consent from these two agencies is not provided by the time of LAFCo application submittal, LAFCo staff will prepare a notice to these agencies regarding annexation and their right to protest the annexation in advance of the LAFCo public hearing.
Upon the SOI amendment and annexation, the City municipal boundary would change to include the entire Project site including SMP 39, SMP 40, and the Additional Annexation Only Parcels. The Project’s subdivision and development entitlements will be secured through a Development Agreement until the SOI amendment is complete for SMP 39 and SMP 39, SMP 40, and the Additional Annexation Only Parcels are annexed into the City.
Prezoning is required before annexing a property to ensure the property’s zoning classification is consistent with the City’s General Plan (Government Code Section 56375). Prezoning designations then become formal zoning designations upon annexation into the City. The Project proposes to rezone SMP 39 and SMP 40 to PD-I 22-001. The proposed use, building form, lot size, layout, and overall character is compatible with the surrounding industrial uses. The proposed PD-I 22-001 zoning for the SMP 39 and SMP 40 properties will provide consistency and compatibility with the surrounding development.
In addition, the Additional Annexation Only Parcels will be annexed into the city, and also require a prezoning designation upon annexation. The proposed Open Space – Floodplain (OS-F) zoning for the Additional Annexation Only Parcels is consistent with the parcel’s natural features and attributes, including their proximity to Arroyo Mocho.
Vesting Tentative Subdivision Maps
The Project entitlements include a Vesting Tentative Tract Map for SMP 39 and a Vesting Tentative Parcel Map for SMP 40 in conformance with Part 10 of the Livermore Development Code (and Government Code and the Subdivision Map Act, by reference).
ATTACHMENT 1
362
6 The Vesting Tentative Tract Map for SMP 39 would subdivide the single existing parcel into six lots, ranging in size from approximately 5.75 acres to approximately 11.76 acres (Attachment 8). These six lots would facilitate development of light industrial buildings ranging in size from 89,400 sf to 183,600 sf.
Access to these new lots would be via three new 40-foot-wide driveways from West Jack London Boulevard to the north.
The Vesting Tentative Parcel Map for SMP 40 would subdivide the single existing parcel into two parcels, creating an approximately 24.1-acre western lot and an approximately 16.5-acre eastern lot (Attachment 9). These two lots would facilitate development of light industrial buildings. The western parcel, referred to as Building 1, will have an approximately 470,530-sf building and the eastern parcel, referred to as Building 2, will have an approximately 288,750-sf building. Access to SMP 40 would be provided through new internal roadway connections to Atlantis Street and Challenger Street to the north, which currently serve the existing Oaks Business Park.
Site Plan Design Review
The Site Plan Design Review (SPDR) 21-008 entitlement is to review SMP 40’s site layout, landscape design, and building architecture and evaluate consistency with the City's Design Standards and Guidelines.
A SPDR entitlement will be required later for the future development of SMP 39 and will be subject to Planning Commission review and approval. There is a conceptual site plan for SMP 39 in the attached development plans (Attachment 8) to show what could be built, but that will not be analyzed below since an SPDR is not being approved at this time. The conceptual SMP 39 site plan does show the potential square footage that was necessary for the Draft EIR to analyze potential traffic, noise, and other environmental impacts.
Parking
A total of 633 vehicle parking stalls would be provided at the SMP 40 site, which exceeds the parking requirement. The 633 parking stalls would be located throughout the site, including along the northern and southern sides of Building 1, and northeast of Building 2. The 164 truck/trailer parking stalls would be located opposite the internal drive aisles from each loading dock area. The loading docks are located on the east and west side of Building 1 and the north and south side on Building 2. All parking will be screened with landscaping consistent with the Livermore Development Code and Industrial Design Standards and Guidelines. In addition, the project would provide 41 bicycle parking spaces, which exceeds the requirement of 30 spaces. The bicycle parking is located near the entrances on all sides of the buildings, including the main office entrances to Building 1 and Building 2.
Landscape Design
The site plan for SMP 40 includes landscape design to support and complement the building architecture and the surrounding industrial area. The proposed planting plan for SMP 40 includes a variety of trees, shrubs, and groundcovers that are distributed throughout the site and around the proposed buildings.
Tree species include a mixture of evergreen and deciduous trees including Italian Cypress, Sycamore, Chinese Pistache, Swan Hill Olive, Brisbane Box, Crape Myrtle, Holly Live Oak, and Fruitless Olive. All the proposed planting would be low water usage consistent with the Water Efficient Landscape Ordinance, Livermore Municipal Code 13.25.
ATTACHMENT 1

7 The project provides screening for the SMP 40 loading docks with trees and a wall as viewed from Isabel Avenue/SR 84 and trees that will screen loading docks from Stanley Boulevard to the south. This is consistent with the screening provisions for service areas per the Livermore Design Standard and Guidelines.
Development Code Table 4.12, Required Interior Parking Lot Landscaping describes the minimum parking lot landscaping required based on the number of parking spaces. SMP 40 meets this standard by providing at or above 16 percent of the parking area in landscaped area. Development Code Table
4.13, Required Shade Trees, requires 16 trees per gross site area acre, minus building coverage. The western parcel includes 108 trees on the parcel, which does not meet the minimum requirement of 212 trees. Therefore, a condition is included in the conditions of approval for the Project (Attachment 21) to meet this requirement. The eastern parcel includes 176 trees, which exceeds the minimum requirement of 165 trees. The Livermore Development Code requires that 20 percent of the trees be planted at 24- inch box size. The western parcel includes 22 24-inch box trees, meeting this requirement, while the eastern parcel incudes 137 24-inch box trees, exceeding this requirement.
Therefore, the landscape design for SMP 40 is also consistent with the Industrial Design Standards and Guidelines including providing a hierarchy of plantings and minimum planting size requirements.
Public Art
The applicant has requested to pay the public art fee in compliance with Livermore Municipal Code Chapter 12.50. The public art fee will be paid prior to Building Permit issuance.
Architecture
Architecture for the two buildings on SMP 40 is primarily concrete tilt-up panels with smooth finishes, with aluminum storefront framing and tempered glass at building entrances and office areas. The buildings would be up to approximately 47 feet in height. Vertical parapets extend periodically above the primary roof line, as do a series of horizontal and vertical score lines. Together, these details break up the building wall planes. The roof parapets are designed to screen future roof-mounted equipment from public view. The building's roofline and wall plane design are also consistent with the Livermore Design Standards and Guidelines for Building Design, which require changes in wall planes or varying height and changes in building materials and colors.
Building colors proposed for the SMP 40 building are primarily off-white with contrasting gray along the horizontal bands and the vertical wall sections encompassing the parapets are a darker blue. Proposed window glazing is blue. These design details are consistent with the surrounding buildings at the Oaks Business Park.
Development Agreement
A Development Agreement functions as a Pre-Annexation Agreement and is necessary to secure the applicant's requested entitlements, until such time as LAFCo approves the annexation of SMP 39, SMP 40, and the Additional Annexation Only Parcels. In addition, off-site improvements are secured through the proposed Development Agreement between the property owner, Developer, and the City. The Development Agreements for SMP 39 and SMP 40 establishes terms, timing, and a performance schedule for offsite improvements and other public benefits (Attachments 8 and 9).
The Development Agreement would require the developer to pay $50,000 a year for a two-year period to ATTACHMENT 1
364
8 the City's Innovation and Economic Development Department towards marketing SMP 39 for the desired land uses identified in PD-I 22-001. Such uses include research and development facilities, professional and administrative offices, experimental and testing laboratories, and manufacturing uses that support an innovation-driven economy, generate high wage jobs, or generate substantial sales tax revenues.
In addition, the Development Agreement requires the Developer to design, construct, secure permits and contribute to an off-site grade-separated overcrossing (bridge) of Isabel Avenue/State Route 84 north of the existing railroad tracks and Stanley Boulevard as a required public benefit (“the Trail Overcrossing”).
This off-site trail improvement includes trail connections from the terminus of the bridge to the existing off-site Arroyo Mocho trail east of Isabel Avenue and to the future on-site trail along the SMP 40 property frontage to the west of Isabel Avenue (“the Trail Connections”).
The anticipated bridge span will be approximately 190-210 feet, running parallel with the existing railroad tracks to the south. The materials may consist of a fabricated truss and a weathered steel span bridge with concrete flooring. The final design may include lighting, cameras, and/or other safety and security measures as required by the City’s Chief of Police and City Engineer.
It should be noted that beyond the details presented in this report, the final Trail Overcrossing and Trail Connection design is not intended for future review and approval by the Planning Commission.
The total cost for the Trail Overcrossing and Trail Connections is approximately $2.5 million. As a requirement of the Development Agreement, the Developer is required to contribute $750,000 towards the off-site trail improvements. The City and Developer will diligently pursue grant funding opportunities to fund the remaining Trail Overcrossing and Trail Connections, less the Developer Obligation. In the event that a grant funding opportunity is not successful, the City will credit the Developer using Traffic Impact Fees, less the $750,000 Developer’s contribution. Once completed, the trail segment would connect the existing Arroyo Bike Trail to the existing trail on the west side of the Oaks Business Park and further west to the San Francisco Premium Outlets.
CEQA - Draft Environmental Impact Report
An Environmental Impact Report (EIR) has been prepared for the project in accordance with the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) (available online at http://www.cityoflivermore.net/citygov/cdd/planning/environ.htm).
The City of Livermore contracted with Raney Planning and Management (Consultant) to prepare an Environmental Impact Report (EIR) for the Project. A Notice of Preparation (NOP) to prepare an EIR for the Project in accordance with the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) was prepared and released for a 30-day public review period from January 6, 2023, through February 6, 2023. On January 17, 2023, the Planning Commission held a public hearing to receive public comments on the NOP. Four comment letters were received during the review period and two public comments were made at the public comment hearing. Public comments received during the NOP review period have been included as part of Appendix A of the Draft EIR in accordance with CEQA.
A Draft EIR was subsequently prepared to the analyze the Project’s impacts to the environment. The Draft EIR identified the project’s potential environmental impacts and the mitigation measures that would be required to be implemented. The following items were identified as being potentially significant:
ATTACHMENT 1
365
9 Agricultural Resources;
Air Quality, Greenhouse Gas Emissions, and Energy;
Biological Resources;
Cultural and Tribal Cultural Resources;
Hydrology and Water Quality;
Noise;
Public Services and Utilities; and
Transportation
The Draft EIR concluded all impacts to be less than significant with mitigation, except for one impact related to Agricultural Resources which was determined to be significant and unavoidable. This impact is related to converting farmland to non-agricultural use. While the California Department of Conservation’s Farmland Mapping and Monitoring Program does not classify the project properties as Farmland, LAFCo’s criteria for Farmland classification differs from the State’s criteria. Based on LAFCo’s criteria, SMP 39 and SMP 40 have on-site soils that meet the criteria to be classified as Prime Farmland by LAFCo. Therefore, it was determined that the project would have a significant and unavoidable impact related to the conversion of farmland to non-agricultural use.
The Draft EIR was released for a 45-day public review period from August 30, 2023, through October 13, 2023. On October 3, 2023, the Planning Commission held a public hearing to receive public comments on the Draft EIR. Six comment letters were received during the Draft EIR public review period and three public comments were made at the public comment hearing. Public comments received during the Draft EIR review period have been included as part of the Final EIR in accordance with CEQA.
On January 16, 2024, a Final EIR for the Project was released including responses to all comments received during the Draft EIR public review period and associated revisions to the Draft EIR. The Final EIR also includes a Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Program to ensure implementation of the mitigation measures identified within the EIR and Initial Study for the Project (Attachment 11). The City received seven comment letters related to the environmental analysis following the release of the Final EIR. Public comments received after the release of the Final EIR and associated responses to the comment letters are included in the Response to Comments Memorandum (Attachment 17).

SUMMARY
In September 2021, Overton Moore Properties applied to the City of Livermore for several land use entitlements for the properties known as SMP 39 and SMP 40 (Project). The Project includes annexation and development of SMP 39 (Assessor Parcel Number [APN] 904-3-1-4) and SMP 40 (APN 904-10-2-2) with approximately 1.51 million square feet of light industrial uses. In addition, the Project includes annexation of four additional parcels (APNs 904-10-2-3, -5, -7, and -8) located east of SMP 40 (Additional Annexation Only Parcels). Development is not proposed on the Additional Annexation Only Parcels and they are proposed to remain as open space.
ATTACHMENT 2
367
SMP 39 is vacant grassland and approximately 52 acres, located west of the Oaks Business Park and south of West Jack London Boulevard and the Livermore Municipal Airport. SMP 40 is also vacant grassland and approximately 41 acres, located south of the Oaks Business Park and west of Isabel Avenue/State Route (SR) 84. The Additional Annexation Only Parcels are also vacant grassland (except for Zone 7 flood control facilities and PG&E infrastructure) and consist of four parcels ranging from 0.2 acre to 5.76 acres, located immediately east of SMP 40. See Attachment 1, Approximate Project Site Boundaries Map for the Project location.
The Project includes off-site roadway, bicycle lane, and other public improvements along West Jack London Boulevard adjacent to SMP 39 and on- and off-site trail improvements adjacent to and east of SMP 40. The proposed Planned Development zoning for both SMP 39 and SMP 40 will allow some typical light industrial uses such as warehouse and distribution (although limited to a maximum of 20% of floor space in SMP 39) but other even more economically desirable and higher job generating uses such as research and development facilities, professional and administrative offices, experimental and testing laboratories, and manufacturing uses.
The Project requires several land use entitlements including an Annexation/Prezoning, Pre-Annexation and Development Agreements, General Plan Amendment, Zoning Map Amendment, Planned Development, Development Code Amendment, Vesting Tentative Subdivision Maps, and Site Plan Design Review for SMP 40. A Site Plan Design Review entitlement is required for the actual development of SMP 39 and SMP 40 but is only currently proposed for SMP 40 at this time. A Site Plan Design Review entitlement will be required at a later date for the future development of SMP 39 and will be subject to Planning Commission review and approval.
According to the applicant, they plan to construct the two SMP 40 buildings in the very near future, and there is an unnamed tenant to occupy at least one of the two buildings.
The Planning Commission’s action is a recommendation to the City Council.
DISCUSSION
BACKGROUND
On September 22, 2021, Overton Moore Properties (Applicant) applied to the City of Livermore for several land use entitlements to bring SMP 39 into the City’s Sphere of Influence (SOI), annex SMP 39 and SMP 40, and develop SMP 39 and SMP 40 with approximately 1.51 million square feet (sf) of light industrial land uses. At the request of City staff, the original Project proposal included bringing SMP 38 into the City of Livermore’s SOI and annexing four additional parcels (Additional Annexation Only Parcels) west of SMP 40. City staff requested including SMP 38 and the Additional Annexation Only Parcels to create logical city boundaries that align with the City’s Urban Growth Boundary (UGB).
Collectively, these elements constituted the SMP 39/SMP 40 Project (Project). Refer to Attachment 1 for the Approximate Project Site Boundaries Map.
The SMP numbers are Surface Mining Permit (SMP) numbers applicable to each site. The Surface Mining Permits for each of the sites were approved in 2004 by Alameda County to allow for the extraction of sand and gravel (i.e., aggregate) within the sites; however, aggregate mining has not occurred within any of the sites, and they are currently vacant grassland. Staff is recommending the actual SMP County rights be forfeited by the applicant through the Development Agreement and ATTACHMENT 2
368
conditions of approval, to guarantee mining does not occur on these in the future.
The Project originally included an SOI amendment to move SMP 38 from the City of Pleasanton’s SOI to the City of Livermore’s SOI. Approval of the SOI amendment would not have altered the existing land use or zoning designation of SMP 38. Annexation of SMP 38 into the City of Livermore was not proposed as part of the Project, nor was development of SMP 38. However, during the entitlement review process, the City of Pleasanton expressed concerns related to potential impacts to their city from the future SMP 38 development. Following discussion with the City of Pleasanton, the City of Livermore staff decided to remove SMP 38 from the Project. SMP 38 is not shown on the project maps since it is no longer part of the project, but it is located directly west of SMP 39 along West Jack London Boulevard.
The City of Pleasanton has agreed to participate in a future discussion related to the SOI amendment for SMP 38 when a development proposal is brought forth for the property. Furthermore, City of Pleasanton staff is bringing a resolution of support to move SMP 39 into Livermore's SOI at their March 5, 2024 City Council meeting.
On November 8, 2021, the City Council authorized staff to proceed with concurrent review of the requested Project entitlements and negotiating terms for a Pre-Annexation/Development Agreement with the Applicant. On March 28, 2022, the City entered into a Professional Services Agreement with Rincon Consultants, Incorporated to provide planning assistance on the entitlement and environmental review.
The Project was reviewed by the City Airport Commission and Alameda County Airport Land Use Commission (ALUC) on October 2, 2023 and October 9, 2023, respectively and determined the project to be compatible with the Livermore Airport Land Use Compatibility Plan (ALUCP), with the condition that avigation easements be required for each of the Project properties.
PROJECT DESCRIPTION
The Project covers approximately +/-105 acres near the northwest portion of the City in unincorporated Alameda County. SMP 39, SMP 40, and the Additional Annexation Only Parcels are within the City of Livermore South Livermore UGB; however, SMP 39 is within the City of Pleasanton’s SOI. Accordingly, an SOI amendment for SMP 39 is proposed in order to modify the SOI (Attachment 2).
SMP 39 is vacant grassland and approximately 52 acres, located west of the Oaks Business Park and south of West Jack London Boulevard and the Livermore Municipal Airport. SMP 40 is also vacant grassland and approximately 41 acres, located south of the Oaks Business Park and west of Isabel Avenue/State Route (SR) 84. The Additional Annexation Only Parcels are also vacant grassland (except for Zone 7 flood control facilities and PG&E infrastructure) and consist of four parcels ranging from 0.2 acre to 5.76 acres, located immediately east of SMP 40. These four parcels are separately owned by four different agencies including the City of Livermore, Zone 7 Water Agency, PG&E, and Caltrans.
In addition to the SOI amendment for SMP 39, the Project includes annexation of SMP 39 into the City of Livermore. The Project also includes annexation of SMP 40 and the Additional Annexation Only Parcels, which are currently within the City of Livermore’s SOI, into the City of Livermore (Attachment 3). The Project includes development of SMP 39 and SMP 40 with approximately 1.51 million sf of light industrial uses. Development is not proposed on the Additional Annexation Only Parcels.
The proposed PD zoning for both SMP 39 and 40 will allow some typical light industrial uses such as ATTACHMENT 2
369
warehouse and distribution (although limited to a maximum of 20% of floor space in SMP 39) but other even more economically desirable and higher job generating uses such as research and development facilities, professional and administrative offices, experimental and testing laboratories, and manufacturing uses (Attachment 18). In addition, SMP 40 will be subdivided into two parcels to accommodate two industrial tilt-up buildings: one totaling 470,530 sf and the other 288,750 sf. SMP 39 is only being subdivided at this time into six parcels for future light industrial buildings projected to range in size from approximately 89,400 to 183,600 sf of building floor area.
The Project includes construction of all necessary public improvements including street and utility connections and pedestrian, bicycle, and landscaping improvements. Specifically, for SMP 39, the Project includes right-of-way dedication for the ultimate build out of West Jack London Boulevard, as described in the City’s General Plan. Ultimate buildout of the roadway is anticipated to consist of four through lanes, including two 12-foot through lanes on each side, a 16-foot raised and landscaped buffer in the center of the roadway, as well as a eight-foot bicycle lane on each side of the roadway, separated from the through lanes by a two-foot buffer. The applicant will be required to build part of these improvements along their frontage on the south side of West Jack London Boulevard, including the median, when the applicant develops the SMP 39 site.
The Project also includes re-construction of an at-grade, paved multi-use trail within a 38.5-foot trail easement along the SMP 39 frontage on the south side of West Jack London Boulevard, consistent with the City’s Active Transportation Plan (ATP). This would provide a connection to the existing trail along the western boundary of the Oaks Business Park and eventually to the Arroyo Mocho Trail on the east side of Isabel Avenue/SR 84.
The Project includes a paved at-grade, on-site trail along the boundaries of the SMP 40 property, consistent with the ATP. Specifically, the on-site trail would extend from the northeastern corner of the SMP 40 property, along the property’s eastern, southern, and western boundaries, before connecting to an existing off-site paved at-grade trail north of the SMP 40 property, which extends along the west side of the Oaks Business Park to the north and connects to the trail on West Jack London Boulevard. These on-site trail alignments for SMP 39 and 40 are shown in Attachments 4 and 5, respectively.
In addition, the Project includes a new off-site trail connection from the Project site to the existing Arroyo Mocho Trail consistent with the ATP, located on the east side of Isabel Avenue/ SR 84. Three options for the off-site trail connection were considered and evaluated in the EIR, including the following, and shown in Attachment 6:
Trail Connection Option 1 – At-Grade Crossing at Discovery Drive; Trail Connection Option 2 – Undercrossing at Isabel Bridge; and Trail Connection Option 3 – Overcrossing of Isabel Avenue/SR 84.
Following evaluation of each of the trail connection options, including pedestrian and bicyclist safety, ease of use, and storm maintenance-related considerations, staff is recommending Trail Connection Option 3 – Overcrossing of Isabel Avenue/SR 84.
If the City Council approves Trail Connection Option 3, the applicant will prepare design and construction documents and submit necessary permits in coordination with the City, Caltrans, and other responsible agencies. The applicant will also pay a portion of bridge costs and construct the bridge as explained below in the Development Agreement section.
ATTACHMENT 2

The Project includes the following entitlements:
General Plan Amendment (GPA) 21-001 to designate SMP 39 and SMP 40 as Low Intensity Industrial (LII) and the Additional Annexation Only Parcels as Parks, Trailways, and Recreation Areas (OSP), consistent with their respective adjacent land uses.
Annexation/Prezoning (APZ) 21-003 to prezone SMP 39 and SMP 40 to Planned Development – Industrial (PD-I) 22-001 to allow for a mixture of industrial and related uses and prezoning the Additional Annexation Only Parcels to Open Space-Floodplain (OS-F). In addition, the entitlement would authorize an application to the Alameda County Local Agency Formation Commission (LAFCo) for a SOI change and annexation into the City of Livermore.
Zoning Map Amendment (ZMA) 21-002, Planned Development Zoning (PD-I) 22-001, and Development Code Amendment (DCA) 21-005 to rezone SMP 39, SMP 40, and the Additional Annexation Only Parcels. SMP 39, SMP 40, and the Additional Annexation Only Parcels are currently zoned Agricultural (A) in Alameda County with an overlay permitting quarry operations.
These entitlements would rezone SMP 39 and SMP 40 to PD-I 22-001 that will allow a mixture of Industrial and related uses and the Additional Annexation Only Parcels to OS-F for continued open space protection near the Arroyo Mocho.
Subdivision (SUB) 21-008 and (SUB) 21-009 to approve a Vesting Tentative Tract Map for SMP 39 (Attachment 4) and a Vesting Tentative Parcel Map for SMP 40 (Attachment 5). SMP 39 will be subdivided into six lots, ranging in size from approximately 5.75 acres to 11.76 acres along with associated improvements. SMP 40 will be subdivided into two lots, approximately 24.1 acres and
16.5 acres, respectively, along with associated improvements.
Site Plan Design Review (SPDR) 21-008 to ensure the architecture and landscape design of the project complies with City standards. This entitlement is for SMP 40 only. A Site Plan Design Review entitlement will be required at a later date for the future development of SMP 39 and will be subject to review and approval by Planning Commission.
Development Agreement (DA) 21-001 and DA 23-002 to secure the Applicant's entitlements until the Project properties are annexed into the City. Further, the DAs establish terms and obligations for public benefits, including the Applicant’s financial contribution toward and construction of the off-site trail improvements and financial contribution to the City’s Office of Innovation and Economic Development Department, which is to be used towards marketing SMP 39 for the desired land uses identified in PD-I 22-001.
PROJECT SITE CONTEXT
Tables 1 and 2 (Attachment 7) summarize the General Plan land use designation, zoning classification, and existing land use on the SMP 39, SMP 40, and Additional Annexation Only Parcels properties and surrounding properties.
STAFF ANALYSIS
General Plan
The Livermore General Plan currently designates SMP 39, SMP 40, and the Additional Annexation Only Parcels as Open Space/Sand and Gravel (OSP/S&G). The OSP/S&G designation is applied to areas of Statewide concern due to their demonstrated level of quality aggregate. This designation primarily allows for open space, with sand and gravel extraction, processing and related activities as a secondary use.
ATTACHMENT 2
371
The Project proposes to amend the existing OSP/S&G designation to Low Intensity Industrial (LII) for the SMP 39 and SMP 40 properties to allow for light industrial development. In addition, the Project proposes to change the existing OSP/S&G designation for the Additional Annexation Only Parcels to Parks, Trailways, and Recreation Areas (OSP). Development is not proposed on the Additional Annexation Only Parcels.
The LII designation includes manufacturing, warehousing, research and development facilities, fullyenclosed recycling facilities, and administrative and professional offices. Low-intensity industrial uses are focused around the Livermore Municipal Airport. The OSP designation is applied to areas to be maintained as permanent or semi permanent open space because they have valuable natural or scenic resources, or because they are unsuitable for development due to environmental hazards. This designation includes parks and trails, creeks and arroyos, and areas of scenic value.
The proposed General Plan Amendment to change the land use designation for SMP 39 and SMP 40 from OSP/S&G to LII would is consistent with the following General Plan policies:
Objective LU-1.1 Locate new development so as to create a consolidated pattern of urbanization, maximizing the use of existing public services and facilities.
Response: The project supports light industrial development in proximity to existing light industrial development and includes the use of existing public streets, services, and facilities.
Policy LU-1.1.P1. The City shall annex all lands currently under County jurisdiction and within the UGB prior to development in areas designated for urban uses.
Response: The project includes the annexation of land currently under Alameda County jurisdiction and within the South Livermore UGB.
Objective LU-4.2 Ensure that new development complements its local context and minimizes impacts on the environment
Response: The light industrial development is compatible with and complements the existing light industrial context, including the Livermore Municipal Airport and the Oaks Business Park. The Project will minimize impacts on the environment by locating development adjacent to these existing industrial uses, limiting residents and other sensitive receptors to impacts such as noise.
Objective LU-4.3 Designate appropriate areas for industrial uses in order to prevent negative impacts on the health, safety, and welfare of residents.
Response: The project proposes industrial development similar to the industrial uses located at the existing Oaks Business Park. SMP 39 is located approximately 2,745 feet from the nearest single-family residences and SMP 40 is located approximately 884 feet from the nearest single-family residences, with State Hwy. 84 located in between. Therefore, these properties are appropriately designated as light industrial use.
Policy LU-4.3.P1. Industrial development shall be subject to design principles and consistent with General Plan policies.
Response: The project’s site plan and architectural design is consistent with the Livermore Design Standards and Guidelines.
Objective LU-4.4 Protect the Municipal Airport from encroachment by incompatible uses.
Response: SMP 39 and SMP 40 include light industrial development, which is a compatible land use regarding noise, height/flight clearance, public safety, etc. per the Alameda County Airport Land Use Compatibility Plan (ALUCP), which was confirmed by the Alameda County Airport Land Use Commission on October 9, 2023. In addition, the Livermore Airport ATTACHMENT 2
372
Commission on October 2, 2023, found the Project compatible with the Livermore Airport Protection Area and the ALUCP with the condition that avigation easements be required for each of the Project properties. This condition is included in the conditions of approval for the Project (Attachment 21).
Policy LU-4.4.P1. The City shall encourage development of property within the immediate vicinity of the Airport for light industrial and transportation uses to the extent that noise standards and flight clearance requirements are maintained, and environmental impacts are adequately mitigated.
Response: See response above.
Objective CIR-2.3 Provide a bicycle, pedestrian, and trails network.
Response: The project supports this objective by adding to the bicycle, pedestrian and trails network along West Jack London Boulevard, along the SMP 40 property, and an off-site trail connection over Isabel Avenue/SR 84 creating a connection to the Arroyo Bike Trail.
Objective ED-1.1 Implement policies and actions that will encourage existing businesses to remain and grow in Livermore, and attract a range of new businesses to locate in Livermore.
Response: The Project provides new opportunities for job creation by allowing existing businesses to grow in Livermore and attracting new businesses to locate in Livermore, including desired uses in SMP 39 and SMP 40 such as research and development facilities, professional and administrative offices, experimental and testing laboratories, and manufacturing uses. Furthermore, the proposed Development Agreements require the Applicant to provide a financial contribution to the City’s Office of Innovation and Economic Development Department, which is to be used towards marketing SMP 39 for the desired land uses identified in PD-I 22-001.
Annexation/Prezoning
SMP 39, SMP 40, and the Additional Annexation Only Parcels are within the City of Livermore South Livermore UGB; however, SMP 39 is within the City of Pleasanton’s SOI. Accordingly, an SOI Amendment SMP 39 is proposed in order to move SMP 39 into the City of Livermore’s SOI.
SOI areas are used to plan for the probable physical boundaries and service area of a local agency.
Annexation is the process by which unincorporated land is made a part of (incorporated into) the City of Livermore. The Alameda County LAFCo is the local agency that oversees boundary changes, including SOI amendments and annexations, to cities and special districts. Generally, LAFCo’s purpose is to ensure the orderly formation of local government agencies to preserve agricultural and open space lands, discourage urban sprawl, and ensure efficient provision of urban services. The SOI change and annexation will require final approval by LAFCo if the City Council endorses an application to LAFCo.
It should be noted that annexation of these properties requires landowner consent as part of the application to LAFCo. This includes consent from Zone 7, PG&E, and Caltrans for annexation of the Additional Annexation Only Parcels. At the time of writing this report, landowner consent has been provided by Zone 7 only. Staff is continuing to purse landowner consent from PG&E and Caltrans. Staff recommends the Additional Annexation Only Parcels remain part of the project since altogether, these parcels create a logical city boundary. If the landowner consent from these two agencies is not provided by the time of LAFCo application submittal, LAFCo staff will prepare a notice to these agencies regarding annexation and their right to protest the annexation in advance of the LAFCo public hearing.
Upon the SOI amendment and annexation, the City municipal boundary would change to include entire Project site including SMP 39, SMP 40, and the Additional Annexation Only Parcels. The Project’s ATTACHMENT 2

subdivision and development entitlements will be secured through a Development Agreement until the SOI amendment is complete for SMP 39 and SMP 39, SMP 40, and the Additional Annexation Only Parcels are annexed into the City.
Prezoning is required before annexing a property to ensure the property’s zoning classification is consistent with the City’s General Plan (Government Code Section 56375). Prezoning designations then become formal zoning designations upon annexation into the City. The Project proposes to rezone SMP 39 and SMP 40 to PD-I 22-001. The proposed use, building form, lot size, layout, and overall character is compatible with the surrounding industrial uses. The proposed PD-I 22-001 zoning for the SMP 39 and SMP 40 properties will provide consistency and compatibility with the surrounding development.
In addition, the Additional Annexation Only Parcels will be annexed into the city, and also require a prezoning designation upon annexation. The proposed OS-F zoning for the Additional Annexation Only Parcels is consistent with the parcel’s natural features and attributes, including their proximity to Arroyo Mocho.
Vesting Tentative Subdivision Maps
The Project entitlements include a Vesting Tentative Tract Map for SMP 39 and a Vesting Tentative Parcel Map for SMP 40 in conformance with Part 10 of the Livermore Development Code (and Government Code and the Subdivision Map Act, by reference).
The Vesting Tentative Tract Map for SMP 39 would subdivide the single existing parcel into six lots, ranging in size from approximately 5.75 acres to approximately 11.76 acres (Attachment 4). These six lots would facilitate development of light industrial buildings ranging in size from 89,400 sf to 183,600 sf.
Access to these new lots would be via three new 40-foot-wide driveways from West Jack London Boulevard to the north.
The Vesting Tentative Parcel Map for SMP 40 would subdivide the single existing parcel into two parcels, creating an approximately 24.1-acre western lot and an approximately 16.5-acre eastern lot (Attachment 5). These two lots would facilitate development of light industrial buildings. The western parcel, referred to as Building 1, will have an approximately 470,530-sf building and the eastern parcel, referred to as Building 2, will have an approximately 288,750-sf building. Access to SMP 40 would be provided through new internal roadway connections to Atlantis Street and Challenger Street to the north, which currently serve the existing Oaks Business Park.
Site Plan Design Review
The Site Plan Design Review (SPDR) 21-008 entitlement is to review SMP 40’s site layout, landscape design, and building architecture and evaluate consistency with the City's Design Standards and Guidelines.
A SPDR entitlement will be required at a later date for the future development of SMP 39 and will be subject to Planning Commission review and approval. There is a conceptual site plan for SMP 39 in the attached development plans to show what could be built, but that will not be analyzed below since an SPDR is not being approved at this time. The conceptual SMP 39 site plan does show the potential square footage that was necessary for the Draft EIR to analyze potential traffic, noise, and other environmental impacts.

Parking
A total of 633 vehicle parking stalls would be provided at the SMP 40 site, which exceeds the parking requirement. The 633 parking stalls would be located throughout the site, including along the northern and southern sides of Building 1, and northeast of Building 2. The 164 truck/trailer parking stalls would be located opposite the internal drive aisles from each loading dock area. The loading docks are located on the east and west side of Building 1 and the north and south side on Building 2. All parking will be screened with landscaping consistent with the Livermore Development Code and Industrial Design Standards and Guidelines. In addition, the project would provide 41 bicycle parking spaces, which exceeds the requirement of 30 spaces. The bicycle parking is located near the main entrances on the northeastern side of Building 1 and the northwestern side of Building 2.
Landscape Design
The site plan for SMP 40 includes landscape design to support and complement the building architecture and the surrounding industrial area. The proposed planting plan for SMP 40 includes a variety of trees, shrubs, and groundcovers that are distributed throughout the site and around the proposed buildings.
Tree species include a mixture of evergreen and deciduous trees including Italian Cypress, Sycamore, Chinese Pistache, Swan Hill Olive, Brisbane Box, Crape Myrtle, Holly Live Oak, and Fruitless Olive. All the proposed planting would be low water usage consistent with the Water Efficient Landscape Ordinance, Livermore Municipal Code 13.25.
The project provides screening for the SMP 40 loading docks with trees and a wall as viewed from Isabel Avenue/SR 84 and trees that will screen loading docks from Stanley Boulevard to the south. This is consistent with the screening provisions for service areas per the Livermore Design Standard and Guidelines.
Development Code Table 4.12, Required Interior Parking Lot Landscaping describes the minimum parking lot landscaping required based on the number of parking spaces. SMP 40 meets this standard by providing at or above 16 percent of the parking area in landscaped area. Development Code Table
4.13, Required Shade Trees, requires 16 trees per gross site area acre, minus building coverage. The western parcel includes 284 trees on the parcel, which exceeds the minimum requirement of 212 trees.
The eastern parcel includes 176 trees, which exceeds the minimum requirement of 165 trees. The Livermore Development Code requires that 20 percent of the trees be planted at 24-inch box size. The western parcel includes 108 24-inch box trees, exceeding this requirement, while the eastern parcel incudes 137 24-inch box trees, also exceeding this requirement.
Therefore, the landscape design for SMP 40 is also consistent with the Industrial Design Standards and Guidelines including providing a hierarchy of plantings and minimum planting size requirements.
Public Art
The applicant has requested to pay the public art fee in compliance with Livermore Municipal Code Chapter 12.50. The public art fee will be paid prior to Building Permit issuance.
Architecture
Architecture for the two buildings on SMP 40 is primarily concrete tilt-up panels with smooth finishes, with aluminum storefront framing and tempered glass at building entrances and office areas. The buildings would be up to approximately 47 feet in height. Vertical parapets extend periodically above the primary roof line, as do a series of horizontal and vertical score lines. Together, these details break up the building wall planes. The roof parapets are designed to screen future roof-mounted equipment from ATTACHMENT 2
375
public view. The building's roofline and wall plane design is also consistent with the Livermore Design Standards and Guidelines for Building Design, which require changes in wall planes or varying height and changes in building materials and colors.
Building colors proposed for the SMP 40 building are primarily off-white with contrasting gray along the horizontal bands and the vertical wall sections encompassing the parapets are a darker blue. Proposed window glazing is blue. These design details are consistent with the surrounding buildings at the Oaks Business Park.
Development Agreement
A Development Agreement functions as a Pre-Annexation Agreement and is necessary to secure the applicant's requested entitlements, until such time as LAFCo approves the annexation of SMP 39, SMP 40, and the Additional Annexation Only Parcels. In addition, off-site improvements are secured through the proposed Development Agreement between the property owner, Developer, and the City. The Development Agreements for SMP 39 and SMP 40 establishes terms, timing, and a performance schedule for offsite improvements and other public benefits (Attachments 19 and 20).
The Development Agreement would require the developer to pay $50,000 a year for a two-year period to the City's Innovation and Economic Development Department towards marketing SMP 39 for the desired land uses identified in PD-I 22-001. Such uses include research and development facilities, professional and administrative offices, experimental and testing laboratories, and manufacturing uses that support an innovation-driven economy, generate high wage jobs, or generate substantial sales tax revenues.
In addition, the Development Agreement requires the Developer to design, construct, secure permits and contribute to an off-site grade-separated overcrossing (bridge) of Isabel Avenue/State Route 84 north of the existing railroad tracks and Stanley Boulevard as a required public benefit (“the Trail Overcrossing”).
This off-site trail improvement includes trail connections from the terminus of the bridge to the existing off-site Arroyo Mocho trail east of Isabel Avenue and to the future on-site trail along the SMP 40 property frontage to the west of Isabel Avenue (“the Trail Connections”).
The anticipated bridge span will be approximately 190-210 feet, running parallel with the existing railroad tracks to the south. The materials will consist of a fabricated truss and a weathered steel span bridge with concrete flooring. The final design may include lighting, cameras, and/or other safety and security measures as required by the City’s Chief of Police and City Engineer.
It should be noted that beyond the details presented in this report, the final Trail Overcrossing and Trail Connection design is not intended for future review and approval by the Planning Commission.
The total cost for the Trail Overcrossing and Trail Connections is approximately $2.5 million. As a requirement of the Development Agreement, the Developer is required to contribute $750,000 towards the off-site trail improvements. The City and Developer will diligently pursue grant funding opportunities to fund the remaining Trail Overcrossing and Trail Connections, less the Developer Obligation. In the event that a grant funding opportunity is not successful, the City will credit the Developer using Traffic Impact Fee, less the $750,000 Developer’s contribution. Once completed, the trail segment would connect the existing Arroyo Bike Trail to the existing trail on the west side of the Oaks Business Park and further west to the San Francisco Premium Outlets.

CEQA - Draft Environmental Impact Report
An Environmental Impact Report (EIR) has been prepared for the project in accordance with the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) (available online at http://www.cityoflivermore.net/citygov/cdd/planning/environ.htm).
The City of Livermore contracted with Raney Planning and Management (Consultant) to prepare an Environmental Impact Report (EIR) for the Project. A Notice of Preparation (NOP) to prepare an EIR for the Project in accordance with the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) was prepared and released for a 30-day public review period from January 6, 2023, through February 6, 2023. On January 17, 2023, the Planning Commission held a public hearing to receive public comments on the NOP. Four comment letters were received during the review period and two public comments were made at the public comment hearing. Public comments received during the NOP review period have been included as part of Appendix A of the Draft EIR in accordance with CEQA.
A Draft EIR was subsequently prepared to the analyze the Project’s impacts to the environment. The Draft EIR identified the project’s potential environmental impacts and the mitigation measures that would be required to be implemented. The following items were identified as being potentially significant:
Agricultural Resources;
Air Quality, Greenhouse Gas Emissions, and Energy;
Biological Resources;
Cultural and Tribal Cultural Resources;
Hydrology and Water Quality;
Noise;
Public Services and Utilities; and
Transportation
The Draft EIR concluded all impacts to be less than significant with mitigation, with the exception of one impact related to Agricultural Resources which was determined to be significant and unavoidable. This impact is related to converting farmland to non-agricultural use. While the California Department of Conservation’s Farmland Mapping and Monitoring Program does not classify the project properties as Farmland, LAFCo’s criteria for Farmland classification differs from the State’s criteria. Based on LAFCo’s criteria, SMP 39 and SMP 40 have on-site soils that meet the criteria to be classified as Prime Farmland by LAFCo. Therefore, it was determined that the project would have a significant and unavoidable impact related to the conversion of farmland to non-agricultural use.
The Draft EIR was released for a 45-day public review period from August 30, 2023, through October 13, 2023. On October 3, 2023, the Planning Commission held a public hearing to receive public comments on the Draft EIR. Six comment letters were received during the Draft EIR public review period and three public comments were made at the public comment hearing. Public comments received during the Draft EIR review period have been included as part of the Final EIR in accordance with CEQA.
On January 16, 2024, a Final EIR for the Project was released including responses to all comments received during the Draft EIR public review period and associated revisions to the Draft EIR. The Final EIR also includes a Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Program to ensure implementation of the mitigation measures identified within the EIR and Initial Study for the Project (Attachment 13). The City received three comment letters following the release of the Final EIR. Public comments received after the release of the Final EIR and associated responses to two of the comment letters are included in the ATTACHMENT 2
377
Response to Comments Memorandum (Attachment 14). The third comment letter was received over four weeks after the release of the Final EIR. Responses to this third comment letter will be provided in a supplemental packet in advance of the Planning Commission public hearing.
SUMMARY
Based on the analyses provided above, staff concludes that the Project, subject to conditions, provides a well-designed industrial development and complies with appropriate development standards, public improvements, and amenities that are adequate to support the community, consistent with the General Plan, Development Code, and Design Standards and Guidelines. The Project would be compatible with the surrounding development, create opportunities for new jobs and increased revenue for the City, and increase pedestrian and bicyclist connectivity that would serve the broader community.
RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends the Planning Commission recommend the City Council take the following actions to authorize the future development of light industrial buildings on the SMP 39 and SMP 40 properties:

Supplemental Responses to Comments Received After the Close of the Draft Environmental Impact Report Public Review Period and Erratum
As mentioned in the memorandum entitled, “Responses to Comments Received After the Close of the Draft Environmental Impact Report Public Review Period and Erratum”, the City would be following up with a supplemental memorandum to provide responses to the “Attorneys for Carpenters Local 713” letter, dated February 14, 2024, which was received after the release of the Final Environmental Impact Report (EIR) for the SMP 39/SMP 40 Project (proposed project).
This supplemental memorandum provides the responses to the above-referenced letter.
While CEQA does not require that written responses be provided for letters received after the close of the public review period, the comments are acknowledged by the City, and the City has chosen to prepare written responses to the comments for the decision-makers consideration in making an informed decision. Responses to the “Attorneys for Carpenters Local 713” comment letter, which is included as Attachment 1, are provided below. Where revisions to the EIR text are required in response to a comment, new text is double underlined and deleted text is struck through.
The comments received did not identify any new significant impact, substantial increase in severity of a significant impact identified in the EIR, or any significant new information. Therefore, recirculation of the EIR is not required.
Response to Stephanie Papayanis, Attorneys for Carpenters Local 713 The majority of the comment letter, including the entirety of Comment I and Comment II(A) of the comment letter, is identical to the comment letter submitted by Attorneys for Carpenters Local 713 during the Draft EIR comment period. As such, with regard to Comment I and Comment II(A) included in the comment letter, please see Responses to Comments 5-3 and 5-5 included in the Final EIR.
The new concerns brought forth in the comment letter are limited to Comment II(B) and Comment II(C) related to biological resources and construction noise. Thus, responses to Comment II(B) and Comment II(C) are provided below.
Comment II(B) Related to Biological Resources
Responses to the commenter’s concerns regarding biological resources are provided below, as informed by Monk & Associates (M&A), who prepared the project-specific Biological Resources Assessments (BRAs) used within the Draft EIR analysis. It should be noted that Comment II(B) is a summary of the comments provided in Exhibit D to the Attorneys for Carpenters Local 713 comment letter, which is a letter authored by Shawn Smallwood, PhD. As such, the following responses are organized based on the comments presented in Exhibit D of the Attorneys for Carpenters Local 713 comment letter.
