Either Party may terminate the mediation at any time after the first session, but the decision to terminate must be delivered in person by the Party’s representative to the other Party’s representative and the mediator. If the Dispute is not resolved by mediation within sixty (60) calendar days after the date of filing of the request for mediation, then the exclusive means to resolve the Dispute is final and binding arbitration, as described in Section 19.04.

To the extent of any conflicts between the Arbitration Rules and the provisions of this Contract, the provisions of this Contract prevail.
(iii) The Parties will submit true copies of all documents considered relevant with their respective statement of claim or defense, and any counterclaim or reply. In the discretion of the Arbitral Panel, the production of additional documents that are relevant and material to the determination of the Dispute may be required.

(v) The award must be in the form of a reasoned award.
(vi) The Dispute will be resolved as quickly as possible. The Arbitral Panel will endeavor to issue the arbitration award within three (3) months after the date on which the arbitration proceedings were commenced.

4. MICROGRIDS and BATTERY ENERGY STORAGE SYSTEMS (BESS)

4.1. Scope Summary

4.1.1. The table below lists the location, BESS sizing and summary of microgrid.

BESS Size Microgrid Energy Management
System
1 (One) 265 kW/1483 kWh Tesla
Megapack 2 energy storage
system
PXiSE Microgrid Controller

4.1.2. BESS, electrical schematics and equipment locations are in “Appendix G - Microgrid and Energy Storage 30% Drawings.” Equipment specifications are detailed in “Addendum H Microgrid and Energy Storage Equipment Schedule and Specifications.”

4.1.3. Process Overview

4.1.3.1. The Microgrid Energy Management System (MEMS) will manage the new Photovoltaic Systems (as described above), the new BESS, and the portable emergency generators as applicable, to enable the integrated generation system to island from the grid during planned or unplanned utility power outages. In general, the goal is to provide sufficient energy to meet building’s critical load requirements from the photovoltaic systems and the BESS for 24 hours.

The MEMS will control the charge/discharge of the BESS to meet both the changing load demand and the PV systems changing generation. Menlo Park provided portable emergency generators can also act as a tertiary backup providing power to buildings as necessary if the PV and BESS are out of service.

4.1.3.2. MEMS controls and monitoring can be accessed both on site through a Human Machine Interface (HMI), as well as remotely through a cloud-based platform.

4.1.3.3. The MEMS is not designed to provide uninterrupted power supply in case of grid failure. The sites will experience a brief outage from the time that the system detects a utility outage, island itself from the utility grid and then the microgrid system restores power. Once Utility power is restored and is stabilized, the MEMS will reconnect the microgrid to the utility grid with minimal interruption.

4.1.3.4. For outages lasting longer than 24 hours, it will be Menlo Park’s responsibility to provide the portable diesel generators and provide diesel fuel as required for back-up operation and maintain all the portable emergency generators.

4.1.3.5. In addition to providing a microgrid system, the BESS will reduce Utility energy charges by controlling the electrical load demand. The MEMS will charge/discharge the BESS to reduce Utility demand charges. The load demand control at times will discharge the BESS, but MEMS will maintain a minimum state-of-charge (SOC) as agreed with Menlo Park to provide emergency backup power for unplanned Utility outages.

4.1.3.6. The MEMS will shut down non-essential loads, as identified in the design documents, during an islanding event.

4.1.3.7. The design assumes that facilities’ load profile during an outage will be similar to and within the parameters provided by Menlo Park in the facility usage and baselines. If increased loads occur, Engie Services U.S. cannot guarantee that microgrid will be able to power and sustain building loads without manual building load curtailment.

v. Excusable Events. If ENGIE Services U.S. is delayed in, or prevented from, accurately calculating the actual EC Savings for any day of any Measurement Period by reason of any Excusable Event, such circumstance will not constitute a default, and ENGIE Services U.S. will be excused from performing the M&V Services while such event is continuing. During such event, Projected Energy Savings for the month(s) in which such event is continuing will be used in lieu of actual data; provided that if three (3) or more years of post M&V Commencement Date data are available for such month(s), the historical average of such data for such month(s) will be used in lieu of Projected Energy Savings.

B. Changes in Energy Use Factors.
i. Adjustments to Baselines. Menlo Park will notify ENGIE Services U.S. in writing within ten (10) Business Days of any change in any Energy Use Factor. In addition, data collected by ENGIE Services U.S. during or before the Energy Savings Term may indicate a change in the energy use pattern at the Facilities or any portion thereof and require a change to one or more Baselines. ENGIE Services U.S. will determine the effect that any such change will have on EC Savings and present to Menlo Park a written analysis of the effects of such changes. ENGIE Services U.S. will also make corresponding revisions to the Baselines and/or EC Savings that it deems appropriate in its reasonable discretion. ii. Adjustments to Guaranteed Savings. If a change in any Energy Rate Factor or Energy Use Factor results in a reduction of EC Savings, then the Guaranteed Savings for the corresponding Measurement Period(s) will be decreased by the same amount. ENGIE Services U.S. will notify Menlo Park, in writing within ten (10) business days, of all such changes.
iii. Changes to Facilities. Menlo Park or ENGIE Services U.S. may from time to time propose to make changes to the Facilities for the express purpose of increasing EC Savings or addressing events beyond its control. It is agreed that these changes will only be made with the written consent of both Parties, which will not be unreasonably withheld. The Baseline will not be adjusted to reflect any changes agreed to under this Attachment E, Section (II)(B)(iii). iv. Baseline Adjustment. If ENGIE Services U.S. proposes changes to the Facilities that would not unreasonably interfere with the conduct of Menlo Park’s business or cause Menlo Park to incur additional costs, and Menlo Park does not consent to the changes, then ENGIE Services U.S. will adjust the Baselines upward by the amount of savings projected from the changes.

v. Projected Energy Savings. During the Energy Savings Term, when the ultimate effect of the Work on EC Savings cannot be accurately determined due to pending construction or changes to the Scope of Work, Projected Energy Savings for the Facilities will be used until the effect of the changes can be determined by ENGIE Services U.S.
vi. Assessment Work. ENGIE Services U.S. has the right to charge Menlo Park for Assessment Work, which will be billed at current ENGIE Services U.S. engineering rates and will be paid by Menlo Park within thirty (30) calendar days after receiving ENGIE Services U.S.’s invoice. Before initiating Assessment Work, ENGIE Services U.S. will notify Menlo Park in writing of the intent and estimated cost associated with the Assessment Work. Menlo Park will, within forty-five (45) calendar days, give ENGIE Services U.S. written permission to proceed or, alternatively at no charge to ENGIE Services U.S., to stipulate that the Projected Energy Savings for the portion of the Facility in question be used for the purpose of meeting the Savings Guarantee for such Measurement Period and thereafter. If ENGIE Services U.S. does not receive written notice within forty-five (45) calendar days, the Projected Energy Savings for the portion of the Facility in question will be used until such time as Menlo Park approves the Assessment Work.
vii. Changes in Energy Use Factors. If Menlo Park fails to notify ENGIE Services U.S. of changes in Energy Use Factors or fails to supply ENGIE Services U.S. in a timely manner with information that is requested by ENGIE Services U.S. for the calculation of EC Savings, the Energy Unit Savings for the relevant Measurement Period will be deemed equal to the corresponding Projected Energy Savings for such period. If information for the relevant Measurement Period is supplied at a later date, the Energy Unit Savings will be modified only if and to the extent that the calculated savings for such period exceed the Projected Energy Savings for such period.
viii. Change Order – Savings Effect. ENGIE Services U.S. will calculate the energy impact of any Change Orders.
ix. Changes in Savings Calculations. Any changes made by ENGIE Services U.S. to the savings calculations will be presented to Menlo Park in advance. Menlo Park will have thirty (30) calendar days to challenge or question the changes in writing.
x. Inspection of Facilities. Menlo Park agrees that ENGIE Services U.S. will have the right, with prior notice, to inspect the Facilities to determine if Menlo Park has consistently complied with its obligations as set forth above. If any inspection discloses that Menlo Park has failed, on or prior to the date of such inspection, to be in compliance with any of its obligations, then the Guaranteed Savings will be assumed to have been achieved for the portion of the Energy Savings Term during which such failure will have existed.
xi. Interference. Menlo Park may not cause, and will take all commercially reasonable steps to prevent any third party from causing, any overshadowing, shading or other interference with the solar insolation that falls on the Generating Facility. Upon discovering, or otherwise becoming aware of, any actual or potential overshadowing, shading or other interference with insolation, Menlo Park will promptly notify ENGIE Services U.S. If an unforeseeable overshadowing or shading condition not caused by ENGIE Services U.S. or its subcontractors exists and continues for five (5) Business Days or more, Menlo Park agrees that the Guaranteed Savings for such Generating Facility will be reduced based upon such shading condition, and ENGIE Services U.S. may present Menlo Park with a proposed reduction to the Guaranteed Savings reflecting such overshadowing, shading or other interference.

C. Menlo Park Maintenance. Beginning at Beneficial Use or Substantial Completion for any portion of the Work, Menlo Park will maintain such portion of the Work and upon Final Completion will maintain the Project, in accordance with the maintenance schedules and procedures recommended by ENGIE Services U.S. and by the manufacturers of the relevant equipment, such maintenance to include maintaining all landscaping (including tree trimming) in and around the Generating Facilities.

Menlo Park irrevocably grants to ENGIE Services U.S. the right, during the Energy Savings Term, to monitor EC Savings and energy management performance by conducting on-site measurements, including, but not limited to, reading meters and installing and observing on-site monitoring equipment. ENGIE Services U.S. will not exercise such right in a manner that unreasonably interferes with the business of Menlo Park as conducted at the Facilities as of the date hereof. Menlo Park will cooperate fully with the exercise of such right by ENGIE Services U.S. pursuant to this Attachment E, Section (II)(E). Menlo Park will further cooperate with ENGIE Services U.S.’s performance of the M&V Services by providing utility information, changes in Energy Use Factors, and/or additional information as reasonably requested by ENGIE Services U.S.

F. Not Used.

G. Termination of Guaranteed Savings. If (i) Menlo Park notifies ENGIE Services U.S. in writing of its intent to terminate the M&V Services, (ii) the Contract is terminated by ENGIE Services U.S. for default by Menlo Park or by Menlo Park for any reason permitted by the Contract, (iii) ENGIE Services U.S. is no longer the provider of the Maintenance Services set forth in Attachment F, or (iv) Menlo Park fails to maintain the Project in accordance with this Attachment E, Section (II)(C), or is in default of any of its other obligations under this Attachment E, the obligation of ENGIE Services U.S. to prepare and deliver the Energy Savings Report and to make a Guarantee Payment will also be terminated. If such termination occurs on a date other than the last day of a True-Up Term, ENGIE Services U.S. will have no obligation to make a Guarantee Payment or prepare and deliver an Energy Savings Report for such True-Up Term.

H. Annual M&V Fee.
i. Invoicing and Payment. The Annual M&V Fee for the first Measurement Period will be invoiced by ENGIE Services U.S. to Menlo Park in a lump sum on the M&V Commencement Date. All subsequent Annual M&V Fees will be invoiced by ENGIE Services U.S. on the first day of the corresponding Measurement Period. Menlo Park, or its designee, will pay ENGIE Services U.S. such Annual M&V Fee, without any retention amount withheld, within thirty (30) calendar days after its receipt of the corresponding invoice. Unless Menlo Park gives ENGIE Services U.S. prior written notice of its intent to terminate the M&V Services, any failure to timely pay the Annual M&V Fee in accordance with this Attachment E, Section (II)(H) will be a material default by Menlo Park under the Contract, and ENGIE Services U.S., in addition to any other legal, contractual and equitable remedies available to it, will have no obligation thereafter to perform M&V Services or to make Guarantee Payments. ii. Any amount not paid when due will, from and after the due date, bear Interest. Accrued and unpaid Interest on past due amounts (including Interest on past due Interest) will be due and payable upon demand.
iii. Not Refundable. The Annual M&V Fee is not refundable for any reason.

I. Calculations.
i. Calculation of EC Savings. EC Savings for any Measurement Period will be equal to, for such Measurement Period, the Energy Use Savings, in each case as adjusted for changes in Energy Use Factors during such Measurement Period. EC Savings achieved during the Construction Period will be included in the EC Savings for the first Measurement Period and subsequent True-Up Term only. ii. Calculation of Energy Use Savings. Energy Use Savings will be calculated by ENGIE Services U.S. as the product of (i) the Energy Unit Savings multiplied by (ii) the greater of (a) the applicable Base Energy Rate or (b) the applicable Actual Energy Rate.
iii. Calculation of Guarantee Shortfall. The Guarantee Shortfall, for any True-Up Term, will be calculated by ENGIE Services U.S. as the difference, to the extent positive, between (i) the Guaranteed Savings for such True-Up Term minus (ii) the sum of EC Savings for such True-Up Term.

III. Methodologies and Calculations
The following details the methodologies and calculations to be used in determining the Energy Unit Savings under this Contract.

4 Microgrid and Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS) N/A Option B

1. M&V Option B: Energy savings performance of Scope of Work are measured and verified at the end-use site.

Option B techniques are designed for projects where long-term continuous measurement of performance is desired and warranted. Under Option B, while some parameter may be stipulated or measured once then stipulated, some individual loads are continuously monitored to determine performance; and this measured performance is compared with an equipment-use Baseline to determine the Energy Unit Savings. a. ENGIE Services U.S. will supply a one-time report to Menlo Park detailing any initial measurements taken to establish usage Baselines or other parameters. Ongoing post-retrofit measurements will be compared to the Baselines, and the quantified Energy Unit Savings will be calculated and presented in ongoing reports. During the Construction Period, the Energy Unit Savings will be calculated by adding the savings measured for the whole months between Substantial Completion or Beneficial Use of the EC Measure and the M&V Commencement Date.
b. Monitoring shall provide measurements on a 15-minute and 60-minute interval basis. Metering data shall be sufficient to separately record solar power production, and BESS charging/discharging power, EV charging load, and total facility load.
c. Scope of Work:

ECM – 1: Photovoltaics (PV) Systems
i. No baseline measurements are necessary because pre-retrofit PV production is zero. Kilowatthours produced by the PV system will be measured using automated metering. Measured interval production kilowatt-hours will be compared against production shown on the monthly utility bills and any differences will be reconciled. Projected kWh production is shown in Table E-3 below and is projected to degrade by 0.3% per year.

ECM Description

Photovoltaic (PV) Systems 968,129

Total 981,350
ii. Assumptions: Once Work is Substantially Complete, these savings will be measured and verified monthly for the Energy Savings Term.
iii. Baselines and Projected Savings: EC Savings will be determined by multiplying the Energy Unit savings by the applicable Base Energy Rate. EC Savings will be calculated and presented in ongoing reports.

ECM – 2: Solar Thermal Collection – Pool Heating
i. ENGIE Services U.S. will continuously measure electrical energy savings delivered by the solar thermal pool heating system compared to an assumed baseline system. Efficiency improvement in the solar photovoltaic system resulting from cooler module temperatures will not be captured in this measurement plan but instead will be captured in the ECM-1 M&V methodology above. ii. Metering and Instrumentation: Energy delivered by the pool heating system to two different pools will be measured using BTU energy meters. Additionally, electricity supplied to the heat pump and electricity supplied to auxiliary pumps will be measured using electric meters. Outdoor air temperature and pool water temperature will also be measured. All metering will be connected to an on-site Data Acquisition System which will sample each meter multiple times per minute and will log readings from each meter every 15 minutes continuously. iii. Baseline Condition: The swimming pools being heated have not been in service to allow for the establishment of historical baseline, but the baseline condition is agreed to be that the pools would have been heated using air to water heat pumps. Consequently, the baseline pool heating efficiency will be assumed from published manufacturer performance data by developing an efficiency equation that relates electricity input, heat output, and ambient air temperature from manufacturer data using as many data points as the manufacturer can provide, thus establishing a performance curve for the heat pump that can be used to determine how much electricity would have been Resolution No. 6693

needed from the baseline system if the solar thermal heating system were not installed. Using this equation, the presumed baseline electricity input will be determined using the measured post-retrofit heating delivered to the pools.
iv. Assumptions: Since the solar heating system requires sunlight to operate most efficiently, pool heating will be biased to occur during daylight hours. This may result in slight overheating of pools during the daytime while nighttime water temperatures will be allowed to drift up to two (2) degrees from the target setpoint of 80 degrees Fahrenheit. Due to the thermal mass of water in the pools, actual temperature deviations from day to night are expected to be small. In the event that data necessary for the calculation of Energy Unit Savings becomes unavailable for a period of time, missing data will be substituted from a comparable time period, and the substitution will be called out and explained to Menlo Park.

Some examples (not all possible examples) of situations that would require non-routine adjustments to the savings calculation would include the following: entirely or partially draining the pool, pool use or occupancy changes, pool water temperature setpoint is changed, or if a pool cover is used. v. Post-retrofit Measurements: Post-retrofit or actual heating system energy consumption will be the electricity consumed by the auxiliary heating pumps, and the heat pump unit itself. Energy delivered to each pool will also be measured along with outside air temperature. This data will be logged every 15 minutes and summed for the duration of the performance measurement period. vi. Savings Calculations: Energy Unit Savings measured in units of kWh will be the Baseline electric energy minus the Actual post-retrofit electric energy calculated every 15 minutes.

ECM – 4: Microgrid and Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS) i. Metering Plan: Four meters will be needed to measure savings associated with this ECM. M1 – measures the electricity imported from and exported to Utility. M2 – measures the PV Production flowing into the facility electrical distribution system. M3 – will measure the flow of electricity into and out of the energy storage system. M4 – will measure the actual energy consumed by facility electrical loads. In some facilities, the installation of M4 is not feasible. Installation of M4 offers redundancy of metering such that with one non-functional meter, the BESS savings can still be determined. All meters will be configured to read positive in the direction of facility load and negative away from the facility load.
ii. Baselines and Projected Savings: The baseline consumption will be determined every 15 minutes and will be the consumption recorded by the sum of meters M1 and M3. The energy and demand recorded by this meter will be divided into time-of-use categories that correspond to the appropriate Utility rate structure in effect on the date of execution of this agreement. Projected Savings are presented in Table E-4.
iii. Post-retrofit Usage Determination: Post-Retrofit usage will also be determined every 15 minutes and will be divided into the same time-of-use categories as the baseline use. The equation used to determine the Post-Retrofit use will be meter M1.
iv. Energy Unit Savings: Energy Unit Savings (kWh) will be calculated for each time of use category by subtracting the post-retrofit consumption from the baseline consumption within each time-ofuse category, then summing for all intervals within each time-of-use category.

𝐸𝐸𝐸𝐸𝑒𝑒𝑒𝑒𝑒𝑒𝑒𝑒 𝑈𝑈 𝑈𝑈𝑈𝑈 𝑆𝑆𝑆𝑆𝑆𝑆 𝑆𝑆 = � 𝐵𝐵 𝐵𝐵 − 𝑃𝑃𝑃𝑃 𝑃𝑃 𝑃𝑃𝑃𝑃 𝑖𝑖𝑖𝑖𝑖𝑖𝑖𝑖𝑖𝑖𝑖𝑖𝑖𝑖𝑖𝑖𝑖𝑖
Energy Unit Savings (kW) will be calculated by selecting the maximum baseline demand measured in each month in any 15-minute interval for each time-of-use category and subtracting the post-retrofit demand measured at the same time interval for each month and each time-of-use category.

Non-routine Adjustments: Non-routine baseline adjustments may be calculated when operating conditions change from those that existed during the baseline. Events where the continuously sustained peak demand duration within any time of use category increases, significant loads are shifted between peak, mid-peak, or off-peak periods, backup generation is energized, or the occurrence of utility outages can all necessitate the calculation of a non-routine baseline adjustment in order to accurately reflect the savings associated with this ECM. vi. Energy Use Savings will be determined by multiplying the Energy Unit savings by the applicable Base Energy Rate. Energy Use Savings will be calculated and presented in on-going reports.

condiciones continúan
existiendo de acuerdo con la
sección 54953(e)(3) del
Código de Gobierno para
permitir que los Cuerpos

reunión del Concejo
Municipal y proporcionará
una descripción más
detallada de los procedimientos de la audiencia.

SE NOTIFICA que el
Concejo Municipal de la
ciudad de Menlo Park,
California, celebrará una
audiencia pública el 11 de

energéticos de compra
directa con ENGIE Services
US Inc. para la implementación de determinadas
mejoras relacionadas con la
energía en las instalaciones
de la Ciudad, de conformidad con la Sección 4217.10
a 4217.18 del Código de
Gobierno de California,

la carga de vehículos
eléctricos para el proyecto
del Campus Comunitario de
Menlo Park que se encuentra actualmente en construcción y que estará ubicado en 100-110 Terminal Avenue,
APN 055-280-040. De
conformidad con lo dispuesto en el artículo 4217.10
y siguientes del Código de
Gobierno de California, el
contrato de servicios
energéticos exigirá que el
coste que suponga para la
ciudad la aplicación de las
mejoras relacionadas con la
energía sea inferior al coste
marginal previsto para la
ciudad de la energía térmica,
eléctrica o de otro tipo que
habría consumido la ciudad
en ausencia de la adquisición de las mejoras
energéticas.

SE NOTIFICA ADEMÁS que
dicho Consejo Municipal
celebrará una audiencia
pública sobre este punto a
través de una reunión virtual,
el 11 de enero de 2022, a

ADVISORY NOTICE
Governor Newsom's
temporary suspension of the
teleconferencing rules for
meetings of a local agency
legislative body expired as of
September 30, 2021.

Assembly Bill (AB) 361 was
signed by the Governor and
went into effect as an
urgency measure to continue
to allow use of the modified
teleconferencing rules as of
October 1, 2021. Based on
Governor Newsom’s
continued declaration of a
State of Emergency and
current conditions, the City
Council finds that meeting
solely in person would
present imminent risks to the
health or safety of attendees,
such that the conditions
continue to exist pursuant to
Government Code section
54953(e)(3) to allow
Legislative Bodies to use
teleconferencing to hold
public meetings in accordance with Government
Code section 54953(e)(2) to
ensure members of the
public have continued
access to safely observe and
participate in local government meetings. The agenda
will be published on
Thursday before a City
Council meeting and will
provide a more detailed
description of hearing
procedures.

NOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN
that the City Council of the
City of Menlo Park, California
shall hold a public hearing on
January 11, 2022 for the
purpose of presenting certain
findings, taking public
comment, and approving a
resolution adopting the
findings and approving a
direct purchase Energy
Services Contract with
ENGIE Services US Inc. for
the implementation of certain
energy related improvements
to City facilities in accordance with California
Government Code Section
4217.10 to 4217.18,
including installation of a
solar photovoltaic microgrid,
solar photovoltaic thermal
system (pool heating), and
electric vehicle charging for
the Menlo Park Community
Campus project currently
under construction and to be
located at 100-110 Terminal
Avenue, APN 055-280-040.

Pursuant to the provisions of
California Government Code
Section 4217.10, et seq., the
Energy Services Contract
shall require that the cost to
the City to implement the
energy related improvements
will be less than the
anticipated marginal cost to
the City of thermal, electrical,
or other energy that would
have been consumed by the
City in the absence of
purchasing the energy
improvements.

NOTICE IS HEREBY
FURTHER GIVEN that said
City Council will hold a public
hearing on this item via
virtual meeting, on January
11, 2022, beginning at 6 p.m.
or as near as possible
thereafter, at which time and
place interested persons
may appear and be heard
thereon. If you challenge this
item in court, you may be
limited to raising only those
issues you or someone else
raised at the public meeting
described in this notice, or in
written correspondence
delivered to the City of Menlo
Park at, or before, the public
meeting. Written correspondence is typically considered a public record and may be
attached to staff reports,
which are posted on the city
website.

Microgrid frequently asked questions
What is a microgrid?
According to an article published on Microgrid Knowledge by Elisa Wood on March 28, 2020, a microgrid is defined as a self-sufficient energy system that serves a discrete geographic footprint, such as a college, campus, hospital complex, business center or even neighborhood. Within microgrids there are one or more kinds of distributed energy (solar panels, wind turbines, combined heat power, generators) that produce power. Newer microgrids contain energy storage from batteries, and some now also include electric vehicle charging stations that can take energy from a car to support providing power to a building.

Microgrids create energy locally for its buildings. They are also independent as it can disconnect from the central grid. This islanding capability allows them to supply power to buildings when a storm or other outage occurs on the power grid. They also use microgrid controller that intelligently manages energy so that maximum savings and reliably can be achieved.

What contributes to the cost of a project like this?
The largest cost component for the clean energy infrastructure for the MPCC project is the solar and battery storage microgrid. This includes solar carport canopies that will provide shaded parking, panels to generate energy, batteries to store the energy and electrical infrastructure to operate the site for at least 24-hours during a power outage with the ability to harness and access power the next day using solar power. The contract also includes the local labor to install all parts of the solar, EV charging, pool heating and microgrid. The itemized cost for clean energy infrastructure are as follows:
• $3,687,307 for the solar and batter storage microgrid • $1,165,939 for the solar photovoltaic thermal pool heating system (reduced from original bid) • $347,683 for the EV charging (reduced from original bid) How has this project addressed design features and community values? The solar panel locations have been adjusted to account for community values and design features of the building, including preservation of existing trees and which areas are covered by solar. ENGIE has been designing solar panel installations to visually match the renderings and site plan proposals presented to the community as part of the design process.

What are the benefits of this project?
• The solar and battery microgrid will provide the site with local clean energy year-round and allow the site to operate during grid outages.
• Installing renewable electric power on city facilities is consistent the 2030 climate action plan strategy No. 5 to eliminate fossil fuels from city operations and is consistent with sustainable budget practices by reducing long term operating costs.

ATTACHMENT E Page G-1.92
• The microgrid will generate clean on-site solar electricity for the facility during the day and store extra solar energy in a battery for evening/nighttime energy needs, reducing operating costs and providing an extra layer of guaranteed clean energy consumed at all times of the day.
• The facility is also being designed to provide shelter and services in the event of an emergency, requiring backup power. The microgrid component means neighbors can charge devices and come to a safe and climate-controlled space when the power is out at home. It will reduce the need for diesel backup generators in the neighborhood, both at individual homes and at the MPCC site. Diesel generators emit exhaust that can worsen asthma symptoms and pose risks for people with heart and lung diseases. • The solar power will serve the center during normal operations, reducing the purchases of power from PG&E and PCE for the City over the next 25 years. • A key objective of the microgrid is to provide resilience with clean backup power rather than the traditional use of diesel-powered generators. The microgrid system will be able to provide emergency power at least 24 hours without the need for diesel generators with the ability to harness and access power the next day using solar power. If an emergency lasts longer than a few days or solar power is unavailable, a mobile backup diesel generator could be used to supplement the clean power onsite. Working in concert with the solar and battery microgrid will allow the diesel generator to run much less if it’s required during a longer-term emergency.
• The project also includes installing 27 EV charging spaces in a neighborhood where less than 3 percent of multifamily properties have access to charging at or near their home.

This will enable more residents and city employees/contractors to confidently chose a cleaner transportation option for themselves if charging is nearby. In addition, the number of charging spaces reflects the city’s currently adopted green building standards for commercial developments in this neighborhood. There will be a total of 164 parking spaces at the MPCC project site once construction is completed, and the city’s green building standards require 15 percent of spaces to be pre-wired for future EV charging s with 10 percent of those spaces having access to actual charging at the time of project completion. The city is taking a leadership role by demonstrating that all 15 percent of the parking spaces will have charging access on day one of the completed project. • On October 12, the City Council also directed staff to pursue inclusion of solar thermal pool heating for additional electric load savings and reduced reliance on the power grid.

City requirements mean the pool would use an electric heater in the absence of this project. The solar thermal system will be more cost-effective for the City in the long run.

What programs exist to help Belle Haven residents purchase electric vehicles? In addition to the long-term savings opportunities, Peninsula Clean Energy offers up to $4,000 in rebates for used plug-in hybrid and fully electric EVs, with increased rebates available for income-qualified residents that can be combined with incentives from other state and local programs. There are also federal and state incentives and rebates for making the EV switch.

Purchasing electric vehicles helps to reduce air pollution that causes health problems and lung irritants.

What are the impacts of not approving this project?
• The city will lose an opportunity for the next 20 to 30 years to enhance air quality as it would need to install an onsite diesel generator, and will reduce the city’s ability to Page G-1.93
reduce greenhouse gas emissions to meet the 2030 Climate Action Plans goal to be carbon neutral by 2030.
• If the city decides not to pursue the project, then the cost of procuring energy from Peninsula Clean Energy or PG&E will be subject to anticipated annual increases in energy costs and potential uncertainties of energy production. These costs are expected to be more than the cost to build the microgrid as proposed. The fixed cost of this project as proposed in the requested $5.72 million dollar budget allocation will protect the City against anticipated and uncontrollable increases in energy prices over the 20 to 30-year life span of the project.
• If the City decides not to pursue the project, then any power outages in the area will cause the facility to lose power and may increase the reliance on diesel backup generators.
• If the project is not approved, the City and Meta project team will be required to update the construction design plans to remove the solar and microgrid components, and plan for power from the utility only. This could delay construction, especially given challenges in the global supply chain for vital electrical equipment.

What are the impacts of delaying this project for three to six months? This project is the result of a comprehensive development and competitive procurement process which selected ENGIE as the preferred vendor to support the implementation of the City Council’s goals for sustainable enhancements for the MPCC project. Significant delays to the project will put at risk design, construction, and financing options, which have the potential to delay the opening of the MPCC for the community. In addition, it will be difficult to secure the same pricing given the global supply chain issues.

Are there any other cities in the Bay Area pursuing projects like this one? The City of Fremont, City of Milpitas, Solano County, Santa Barbara schools and the have all contracted for or completed similar projects. Menlo Park would be on the leading edge of cities making a statement about local clean air and sustainability by incorporating multiple clean energy features.

STAFF REPORT
City Council
Meeting Date: 1/11/2022
Staff Report Number: 22-009-CC
Regular Business: Appointment of Justin Murphy as interim city manager and approval of compensation for interim
city manager services
Recommendation
Appoint Justin Murphy as interim city manager and approve compensation for interim city manager services.

Policy Issues
The City Council has the responsibility of appointing the city manager. The city manager serves as the City’s chief executive officer.

Background
City Manager Starla Jerome-Robinson’s employment contract with the City is set to expire March 31, 2022.

The City Council created a subcommittee consisting of City Councilmember Taylor and Vice Mayor Wolosin to work with the Hawkins Group to manage the outreach and recruitment for a new permanent city manager, which is currently underway.

On December 27th, City Manager Starla Jerome-Robinson provided the City Council with 60 days’ notice of her resignation, but asked if City Council would allow her to waive the 60 days’ notice requirement if an interim could be appointed sooner than the 60 days. The City Council has agreed to waive the 60-day notice requirement. To that end, it is necessary to appoint a city manager on an interim basis to serve pending the completion of the outreach and recruitment for a new permanent city manager and maintain City services especially in light of the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic.

Analysis
Appointing current Deputy City Manager Justin Murphy to perform duties of the city manager position will provide continuity for the City Council’s priorities. The interim city manager will serve while recruitment for a permanent city manager is underway.

Given the need for continuity and a highly trained and experienced professional to lead the City, particularly in the midst of the COVID-19 pandemic, appointing Mr. Murphy as interim city manager will serve the organization and community well. Effective January 12, 2022 and ending on the date immediately preceding the date on which the permanent appointee to the vacant position of city manager commences their employment unless the interim appointment is terminated earlier by the City at a regularly noticed City Council meeting or by Mr. Murphy. Mr. Murphy would then return to his position as deputy city manager.

STAFF REPORT
City Council
Meeting Date: 1/11/2022
Staff Report Number: 22-004-CC
Regular Business: Adopt a resolution approving and authorizing the Mayor to execute the second amendment to and
restatement of the joint powers agreement
establishing the Peninsula Traffic Congestion Relief
Alliance and appoint representatives to the
Peninsula Traffic Congestion Relief Alliance board
of directors
Recommendation
Staff recommends that the City Council adopt a resolution (Attachment A) approving and authorizing the mayor to execute the second amendment to and restatement of the joint powers agreement establishing the Peninsula Traffic Congestion Relief Alliance (Alliance), which will formalize the City of Menlo Park’s membership in the Alliance, and to appoint a representative and alternate to the Alliance board of directors.

Policy Issues
The City’s membership in the Alliance supports the City’s transportation demand management (TDM) program guidelines and implements policies and programs in the 2016 General Plan Circulation Element.

Policy CIRC-6.1 identifies a priority to coordinate “transportation demand management efforts with other agencies providing similar services within San Mateo and Santa Clara Counties” and Program CIRC-6.D specifically states that the City should “consider joining the Peninsula Traffic Congestion Relief Alliance (“Commute.org”) to assist local employers with increasing biking and walking, transit, carpool, and vanpool and shuttle use for their employees.”
Background
In 2000, 15 cities and towns in San Mateo County joined together to form the Alliance, commonly known as Commute.org. Commute.org serves as San Mateo County’s Transportation Demand Management agency.

TDM is a set of strategies, policies, and programs that aim to reduce the demand for single-occupant vehicle (SOV) travel. Some of Commute.org’s TDM programs include commuter support services, incentive programs, trip logging software, emergency ride home, first/last mile commuter shuttles from Caltrain, and partnerships with public agencies and private groups and employers.

Later in 2005, Commute.org added two additional municipalities and the County of San Mateo to create the current 18 member Alliance. The City of Menlo Park and the Towns of Portola Valley and Woodside are not currently members.

The City of Menlo Park has an existing TDM program that was established in the early 1990s. At the time that Commute.org was formed in 2000, the City opted not to join. City staff currently shares information with Commute.org and promotes their free TDM programs in San Mateo County. Additionally, City staff coordinates with Commute.org on regional events such as Bike to Work Day, and with Commute.org and AGENDA ITEM H-2 Page H-2.1

City of Menlo Park 701 Laurel St., Menlo Park, CA 94025 tel 650-330-6600 www.menlopark.org the Peninsula Corridor Joint Powers Board (“Caltrain”) on a joint shuttle contract.

In recent years, the City has explored formally joining Commute.org as a member agency. The 2016 general plan circulation element includes Program CIRC-6.D to join Commute.org. At its May 22, 2018, meeting, the City Council previously authorized the Mayor to sign a letter of intent to join Commute.org, but action was delayed while Commute.org revised its joint powers agreement to address pension liability requirements for joint powers authorities as a result of state law changes (AB 1912.) Analysis
In 2019, the City initiated a transportation management association (TMA) feasibility study to better understand how the City could address traffic issues and commuting patterns. The study, approved by City Council at its October 12, 2021 meeting, recommended working more closely with Commute.org, including joining the organization as an effective short-term action. This recommendation coincided with Commute.org amending its joint powers agreement in September 2021, enabling the addition of new members. In late September 2021, Commute.org Executive Director John Ford sent the Mayor a letter formally asking Menlo Park to join the organization (Attachment B.)

Joining Commute.org as a member would give the City an official vote on the board of directors, while continuing the existing, strong working relationship the City has with the organization. Working with or promoting Commute.org supports all three objectives of the TMA feasibility study: endorsing regional TDM efforts, serving as an example of an employer with a robust TDM program, and ensuring TDM support is available to all businesses. Joining Commute.org as a member is a key action to achieve the first of these objectives – endorsing regional TDM efforts.

The City’s membership in Commute.org would enhance the ability to coordinate on employer outreach, support and incentive programs. The City currently promotes Commute.org’s services to City employees as alternatives to driving to work, including their trip logging software, incentive programs and emergency ride home program. Per recommendations in the TMA feasibility study, the City would continue to promote Commute.org and work with City Council to identify funding for paid services with Commute.org and Manzanita Transit to ensure TDM support is available for all businesses in Menlo Park.

Commute.org’s board of directors approved the Second Amendment to and Restatement of the Joint Powers Agreement Establishing the Peninsula Traffic Congestion Relief Alliance (Attachment C) in September 2021, which will facilitate membership entry for the City Menlo Park, Towns of Portola Valley and Woodside. Adoption of the resolution would complete Menlo Park’s process of joining Commute.org.

Portola Valley has since adopted a resolution to join Commute.org and Woodside is expected to complete the process, but as of this publication has yet to set a timeline.

As part of joining Commute.org, the City Council needs to appoint a City Councilmember (and an alternate) to participate on the Commute.org board of directors. Each year there are five scheduled public meetings, each about an hour and a half in duration. In addition, agency staff from some member agencies participate in a Supervisory Committee and a Finance Committee that advise the board of directors. Participation in these advisory committees is not required of each agency, but board members may nominate staff to serve on each committee. Staff participation on the advisory committees would represent a new effort under the City’s TDM program that could take time away from other efforts. Staff estimate that each committee assignment could require up to eight hours of staff time per month.

No financial resources are required for this action. Staff time associated with participating in Commute.org could increase by up to 16 hours per month if staff were requested to participate in the Supervisory and/or Finance Committees of Commute.org.

Environmental Review
Adoption of the resolution to join Commute.org is exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act under section 15320, Changes in Organization of Local Agencies.

Re: Invitation to join the Peninsula Traffic Congestion Relief Alliance (Commute.org) Joint Powers Authority
Dear Mayor Combs:

On behalf of the Board of Directors of Commute.org, I would like to formally invite the City of Menlo Park to join the Peninsula Traffic Congestion Relief Alliance Joint Powers Authority (JPA).

At our meeting on September 16, 2021, the Board unanimously approved amending the Joint Powers Agreement to allow the cities and towns in San Mateo County that are not yet members (Menlo Park, Portola Valley, and Woodside) to join the JPA. Completing the “alliance” by bringing together all the municipalities in the county is one of the key objectives in our newly adopted Strategic Plan.

The JPA was originally formed in 2000 through the merger of two agencies – ITSMA and MITSMA. Between the two agencies there were 14 members and the City of East Palo Alto also joined when the merger took place. In 2005, the JPA was expanded to include the towns of Atherton and Hillsborough as well as the County of San Mateo bringing the total to 18 members. Over the past decade the JPA has become better known as Commute.org.

The mission of Commute.org is to reduce traffic congestion and greenhouse gas emissions while enhancing the quality of life in San Mateo County by promoting the use of sustainable transportation and commute alternatives. We envision a region where all residents and employees have access to equitable, sustainable, affordable, and safe transportation options and use them as their primary modes when commuting.

Commute.org provides transportation demand management (TDM) programs to employers, commuters, residents, and stakeholders throughout the county. Programs promote alternatives to driving alone such as carpools, vanpools, transit, bicycles, and remote work. Additionally, Commute.org works closely with JPA members’ staff to support their city/town specific TDM objectives. Commute.org is funded, primarily, by the San Mateo County Transportation Authority (Measure A) and C/CAG of San Mateo County (Congestion Relief Program).

Mayor Combs
Approximately 20 percent of the agency’s funding comes from private-sector contributions to the Commute.org shuttle program.

Of course, it is important for you and your fellow council member to understand the requirements of members of the Joint Powers Authority:

• There are no dues or fees for members.
• As a member of the Joint Powers Authority, each member has one seat with one vote on the Board. Each member appoints one Council Member as the Board representative and is encouraged to appoint one other Council Member as an alternate to the Board (similar to representation on C/CAG). • The Board meets five times per year on the third Thursday of the month in February, April, June, September, and November. Meetings are currently held from 8:00 a.m. – 9:30 a.m. at locations throughout San Mateo County. Of course, during the pandemic all our meetings have been held remotely.
• There are currently two standing committees – Finance and Supervisory. The Supervisory Committee is comprised solely of staff from member and stakeholder agencies whereas the Finance Committee includes a mix of Board and Supervisory Committee members.

The process to join the JPA is very straight-forward. The Second Amendment and Restatement of the Joint Powers Agreement (attached) has been updated to include the City of Menlo Park. If your council supports joining and votes to approve this Second Amendment, then your signature as well as that of the City Clerk on the agreement is all that is needed. To help facilitate the process, we have included a draft resolution and draft staff report to present to your council. Additionally, John Ford (Executive Director) and I would be honored to attend a council meeting to answer any questions that you, your council members, or your constituents might have about becoming a member.

Thank you, in advance, for your time and consideration of this invitation. Should you or your town staff have any questions or need additional information, please contact John Ford by phone at (650) 588-8170 or by email at [email protected].

Sincerely,
Cliff Lentz, Chair, Peninsula Traffic Congestion Relief Alliance (Commute.org) and Mayor Pro Tempore, City of Brisbane

STAFF REPORT
City Council
Meeting Date: 1/11/2022
Staff Report Number: 22-005-CC
Regular Business: Adopt a resolution to approve changes to the transportation impact analysis guidelines related to
vehicle miles traveled thresholds and other minor
corrections
Recommendation
Staff recommends that the City Council adopt a resolution (Attachment A) to approve a set of technical updates to the City’s transportation impact analysis (TIA) guidelines and repeal all prior versions of the TIA guidelines to address calculation of the vehicle miles traveled (VMT) thresholds and other minor changes (Attachment B.)
Policy Issues
Updating the VMT thresholds in the TIA guidelines is consistent with policies CIRC-2.14 and 3.1 which relate to new development and reducing VMT.

Background
In June 2020, the City Council approved adding new VMT thresholds and methodology to the City’s TIA guidelines to comply with Senate Bill (SB) 743. The thresholds are used to determine whether a transportation impact is significant under the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA.) The City Council also referred the development of multimodal metrics to be reviewed by the Complete Streets Commission.

In addition, staff had recommended that the VMT thresholds be reviewed regularly to allow the City to ensure that the VMT thresholds reflect the current land uses and transportation network. The VMT thresholds are based on existing average VMT in the city or region, which the City has defined as the nine Bay Area counties. The existing average VMT is calculated using travel demand models that include data on land uses and the roadway network and is validated against existing traffic counts. As travel demand models are updated and refined, the average VMT used to calculate the VMT thresholds will also need to be reviewed and updated. The City’s travel demand model was recently updated to be consistent with the most recent set of traffic counts, which occurred in the spring of 2019, and reflective of the land uses built and occupied from that timeframe. This travel demand model update leads to the need for updating the City’s VMT thresholds.

Analysis
The City’s VMT thresholds were developed according to guidance from the Governor’s Office of Planning and Research (OPR), which recommended the following when developing agency thresholds:
• Use of either a citywide or a regional VMT standard is permitted. A citywide standard captures average VMT generated within the city and a regional standard captures average VMT generated within the nine Bay Area counties.

AGENDA ITEM H-3 Page H-3.1
Staff Report #: 22-005-CC

City of Menlo Park 701 Laurel St., Menlo Park, CA 94025 tel 650-330-6600 www.menlopark.org • For residential and commercial developments, efficiency metrics such as “VMT per capita” and “VMT per employee” are more appropriate for assessing impacts, respectively, than total VMT. • A 15 percent reduction below these VMT per capita or employee standards by future residential and commercial developments is both achievable and necessary to meet the State’s emission goals.

The average VMT per capita and per employee were calculated based on the City’s travel demand model that was developed in 2015 for the general plan update adopted in November 2016. City staff compared the results for both citywide and regional averages, and recommended using the regional average VMT per capita for residential development and the citywide average VMT per employee. City Council adopted these recommendations June 23, 2020.

Since approval of the VMT thresholds, staff have processed environmental impact reports (EIRs) for a number of residential and non-residential projects. Recently, three residential developments (known as 111 Independence, Menlo Uptown and Menlo Portal) were approved using the VMT thresholds and a draft EIR comment period closed December 9, 2021 for another proposed residential development (Menlo Flats.) In addition, draft EIRs are in process for two non-residential developments (1350 Adams Court and Commonwealth Building 3.) Notice of preparations (NOPs) for these draft EIRs were released in the end of 2018 and spring of 2019 respectively, meaning that the transportation analyses for these projects are substantially complete. All of these projects used the general plan model that was used to determine the VMT thresholds and would continue to use this model version and the VMT thresholds in place at the time of the NOPs.

Another project currently under review is the proposed Willow Village project. Given the size and mixed use nature of the project, staff worked with Hexagon Transportation Consultants, Inc. to update the City’s travel demand model with the project’s proposed land uses. The timing of this update is also consistent with best practice, which recommends that travel demand models be updated every five to seven years to incorporate current land uses and travel patterns. Updating the model produced updated average VMT per capita and VMT per employee calculations, which need to be incorporated into the TIA guidelines.

Proposed development projects located at 123 Independence Drive, 1125 O’Brien Drive and 1075 O’Brien Drive (CSBio Expansion) released NOPs in the summer and fall of 2021. Because the transportation impact analyses for these projects are not substantially complete, they would use the updated model and related VMT thresholds, if adopted by the City Council. Future development projects and other projects that have not begun review or released an NOP would also use the updated model and related VMT thresholds.

In addition, staff is recommending several technical corrections to the TIA guidelines:

1. Using regional averages for both VMT per capita and VMT per employee. Using the regional averages for residential and office land uses provides consistency for the analysis and reduces confusion for potential developers. It also allows more transparent comparison of results from the City’s model to regional models to ensure reasonableness and consistency.

2. Revising the language in the TIA guidelines to note that thresholds are set at 15 percent below the regional averages provided by the version of the City’s travel demand model that is current at the time of evaluation of transportation impacts. This would allow for the thresholds to change as the model is updated in the future without further City Council action.

3. Making other minor language clarifications and corrections that do not materially impact the TIA guidelines.

Table 1 summarizes the current and proposed VMT thresholds as a result of this change. The proposed thresholds represent 15 percent below the regional averages from the current version of the City’s travel Page H-3.2

2. Expressed in VMT per capita
Staff is also working with the Complete Streets Commission to update the TIA guidelines to include multimodal metrics and expects to return to the City Council for review and approval once that update is complete.

Impact on City Resources
Review of development projects is funded by the applicants and considered part of the baseline staff workload. No additional resources are being requested at this time. Professional services resources are anticipated to be required to develop multimodal metrics for inclusion in the TIA guidelines, and staff anticipates incorporating that request into the fiscal year 2022-23 budget proposal.

Environmental Review
This action is not a project within the meaning of the CEQA Guidelines §§ 15378 and 15061(b)(3) as it will not result in any direct or indirect physical change in the environment.

Public Notice
Public notification was achieved by posting the agenda, with the agenda items being listed, at least 72 hours prior to the meeting.

TRANSPORTATION IMPACT ANALYSIS GUIDELINES
Public Works
701 Laurel St., Menlo Park, CA 94025
City Council Procedure #CC-20-012
Purpose
To define guidelines for analysis of development or capital projects related to transportation on local streets, pedestrian, bicycle and transit circulation.

Authority
This policy sets forth the guidelines (methods, standards, and thresholds of significance) to conduct a TIA for a development or capital project to ensure that a thorough transportation analysis occurs for all projects that might result in impacts under the California Environmental Quality Act and in conformance with the City’s General Plan.

Background
Development and capital projects wishing to obtain approval need to satisfy a wide array of state and local requirements, including but not limited to full disclosure of the potential environmental impacts of the project.

Possible environmental impacts include but are not limited to noise, air quality, greenhouse gas emissions and transportation. For purposes of disclosing potential transportation impacts, projects in the City of Menlo Park has adopted the City’s TIA guidelines to ensure compliance with both state and local requirements.

Senate Bill (SB) 743 required the Governor’s Office of Planning and Research (OPR) to establish a new metric for identifying and mitigating transportation impacts within CEQA in an effort to meet the State’s goals to reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, encourage infill development, and improve public health through more active transportation. OPR identified vehicle miles travelled (VMT) as the required transportation metric and beginning July 1, 2020, VMT (not level of service (LOS)) is the legally required threshold for transportation impacts pursuant to CEQA. OPR has identified recommendations regarding assessment of VMT and thresholds of significance, but the City may adopt local metrics and thresholds.

Policies and procedures
Projects shall analyze both Vehicle Miles Travelled (VMT) and Level of Service (LOS) transportation metrics independently using the methodologies outlined below, except those meeting the exemption criteria. Only the VMT impacts and safety hazards can be considered for transportation impacts under CEQA.

Exemption Criteria
The exemption criteria are illustrated in Attachment A.

The following projects would generally be exempt from carrying out VMT and LOS analysis:

1. Projects generating less than 100 vehicle trips/day

2. Local servicing retail projects and other commercial projects where the total square footage is 10,000 square feet or less

3. Residential or office developments located in a low VMT area (defined below) and within ½ mile of an existing “major transit stop” or within ½ mile of a “high-quality transit corridor”

4. Affordable housing developments with 100% affordable units, either in a low VMT area or within ½ mile of an existing major transit stop or within ½ mile of a high-quality transit corridor

5. Local serving public facilities where the total new or added square footage is 10,000 square feet or less, such as libraries, police stations, fire stations, or parks. Facility type and size outside the description shall provide evidence of local serving status to City satisfaction.

6. Projects in compliance with the El Camino Real and Downtown Specific Plan “Major transit stop” means an existing rail transit station, a ferry terminal served by either a bus or rail transit service, or the intersection of two or more major bus routes with a frequency of service interval of 15 minutes or less during the morning and afternoon peak commute periods. A “high-quality transit corridor” means a fixed bus route with service intervals no longer than 15 minutes during peak commute hours.

Local serving retail projects where the total square footage is 50,000 square feet or less would be exempt from carrying out VMT analysis.

EXHIBIT A Resolution No. XXXX

3. Existing Conditions – Conditions should be described based upon the most recent count data and include the following:
• Description of existing street system serving the site (Number of lanes, classification, etc.) • Description of VMT (definition and methods)
• Existing traffic volumes – ADT’s and AM & PM peak hours (Figure to be included in report) • Existing levels of service – AM & PM (Table to be included in report) • Public transit (Service providers to the area)
• On and off-street parking conditions/availability
• Pedestrian and bicycling conditions in the project area

4. VMT analysis
A. To determine the appropriate VMT analysis tool (e.g., C/CAG VMT sketch model or City’s travel demand model), refer to Attachment B.

B. To determine if the project is located in a low VMT area, refer to the City’s online mapping tool for average VMT values in the applicable traffic analysis zone (TAZ): http://menlopark.org/vmtzone.

C. Significance Criteria
A project is considered to have a significant impact on VMT if the project’s VMT exceeds the following threshold values:
• Residential: 15% below the regional average VMT per resident as estimated by the most recent City travel demand model
• Office: 15% below the regional average VMT per employee as estimated by the most recent City travel demand model
• Retail, hotel, school, and transportation projects: a net increase in total City VMT • Mixed use projects: components are analyzed independently against the appropriate threshold • Other: Public Works Director or designee will provide direction on a case-by-case basis D. Cumulative VMT Analysis
Projects that are assessed using a total VMT threshold (i.e. retail, hotel, school, and transportation) and require a general plan or area plan/specific plan amendment for increased density or change in circulation that would affect regional travel patterns must evaluate cumulative VMT impacts according to the same thresholds as identified above in significance criteria.

5. Mitigation for Exceeding VMT Significance Criteria
A. Projects that exceed the VMT significance criteria as defined above must demonstrate that they can reduce their VMT to below the threshold values using a mixture of trip reduction measures and transportation demand management (TDM) strategies in order to be reduce their impacts to less than significant. TDM strategies work by offering a wider range of transportation options to users of the development. Projects may select strategies from “Quantifying Greenhouse Gas Mitigation Measures” report by the California Air Pollution Control Officers Association (CAPCOA), or other peer-reviewed publications as newer data becomes available, including but not limited to:
• Transportation Demand Management: commute trip reduction program, transit subsidies, parking cashout • Parking Management: unbundled parking, pricing
• Transit improvements: proximity/access improvements, increased service frequency • Active Transportation Projects: pedestrian & bicycle networks, traffic calming B. All measures must first be discussed with the City Transportation Division before they are included in the report. Consultant shall identify and submit supporting documents for selected TDM strategies and mitigation measures for City review and approval.

6. Near Term LOS Analysis – Near Term conditions without project should be discussed using the most recent near term traffic counts and information. Project traffic should then be added to the near term traffic counts. If the project build-out is beyond the near term data, future conditions should be projected to the first year of Resolution No. XXXX

assumed project occupancy. A supplemental list of planned and or/approved projects will be provided to the consultants for inclusion in the analysis process. For large projects of regional magnitude (projects generating 100 or more trips during peak hours), the consultants will also analyze the impacts of the project for under cumulative conditions.

A. Description of new or planned changes to the street system serving the site including changes in on-street parking
B. Near term volumes – ADT’s and AM & PM peak hours
• List project trip generation rates
• Discuss trip distribution
• Discuss impact of project traffic on intersections in the project vicinity C. Near term levels of service – AM & PM for both near term and near term plus project analysis. Table to be included in report. Also a comparison table of existing conditions including a column showing the difference in seconds of delay between existing, near term conditions and near term conditions with project and percent of increase.

7. LOS Analysis
A. Discuss impacts of near term conditions and near term conditions with project, illustrated in the Intersection Compliance flowchart (Attachment C).
a. A project is considered potentially non-compliant with local policies if the addition of project traffic causes an intersection on a collector street operating at LOS “A” through “C” to operate at an unacceptable level (LOS “D”, “E” or “F”) or to have an increase of 23 seconds or greater in average vehicle delay, whichever comes first. Potential non-compliance shall also include a project that causes an intersection on arterial streets or local approaches to State controlled signalized intersections operating at LOS “A” through “D” to operate at an unacceptable level (LOS “E” or “F”) or have an increase of 23 seconds or greater in average vehicle delay, whichever comes first. b. A project is also considered potentially non-compliant if the addition of project traffic causes an increase of more than 0.8 seconds of average delay to vehicles on all critical movements for intersections operating at a near term LOS “D” through “F” for collector streets and at a near term LOS “E” or “F” for arterial streets. For local approaches to State controlled signalized intersections, a project is considered to be potentially non-compliant if the addition of project traffic causes an increase of more than 0.8 seconds of delay to vehicles on the most critical movements for intersections operating at a near term LOS “E” or “F”.

B. In certain circumstances as determined by the Public Works Director or designee, analysis may be necessary for impacts on City street segments. If any of the thresholds listed below are exceeded, the analysis should make a recommendation as to whether the traffic impact is considered potentially noncompliant, illustrated in the Roadway Compliance flowchart (Attachment D). a. On Main Street, Avenue-Mixed Use, and Avenue-Neighborhood (FHWA equivalent: minor arterial streets), a traffic impact may be considered potentially non-compliant if the existing Average Daily Traffic Volume (ADT) is: (1) greater than 18,000 (90% of capacity), and there is a net increase of 100 trips or more in ADT due to project related traffic; (2) the ADT is greater than 10,000 (50% of capacity) but less than 18,000, and the project related traffic increases the ADT by 12.5% or the ADT becomes 18,000 or more; or (3) the ADT is less than 10,000, and the project related traffic increases the ADT by 25%.
b. On Mixed-Use Collector and Neighborhood Collector (FHWA equivalent: collector streets), a traffic impact may be considered potentially non-compliant if the existing Daily Traffic Volume (ADT) is: (1) greater than 9,000 (90% of capacity), and there is a net increase of 50 trips or more in ADT due to project related traffic; (2) the ADT is greater than 5,000 (50% of capacity) but less than 9,000, and the project related traffic increases the ADT by 12.5% or the ADT becomes 9,000 or more; or (3) the ADT is less than 5,000, and the project related traffic increases the ADT by 25%. c. On Neighborhood Connector, Bicycle Boulevard, and Local Access (FHWA equivalent: local streets), a traffic impact may be considered potentially non-compliant if the existing Daily Traffic Volume (ADT) is:
(1) greater than 1,350 (90% of capacity), and there is a net increase of 25 trips or more in ADT due to project related traffic; (2) the ADT is greater than 750 (50% of capacity) but less than 1,350, and the project related traffic increases the ADT by 12.5% or the ADT becomes 1,350; or (3) the ADT is less than 750, and the project related traffic increases the ADT by 25%.

C. Discuss project site circulation and access and identify any deficiencies.

Resolution No. XXXX

Page 5 of 11 ends

4 rev 20200707
D. Discuss compliance of project site parking with adopted City code including loading and disabled spaces. If a shared parking arrangement is proposed, an analysis of the adequacy of this aspect shall be provided.

Discuss any off-site parking impacts (such as neighborhood parking intrusion) of the project.

E. Analyze project in relation to relevant policies of the Circulation Element of the General Plan.

F. Analyze potential cut-through traffic generated by the project impacting other City neighborhoods.

G. Pedestrian conditions and bicycle access, including safety issues, should be discussed.

H. Analyze project using the requirements outlined in the San Mateo County Congestion Management Plan Land Use Analysis Program guidelines, if applicable.

8. Improvement Measures for Circulation or Access Deficiencies A. Discuss specific measures in detail to address non-compliance with local policies, which may occur as a result of the addition of project traffic (provide table comparing before and after improvement measure).

Analysis shall focus on improving circulation or access deficiencies to comply with local policies. All feasible and reasonable measures that could reduce circulation or access deficiencies should be identified, whether or not they are caused by the project. The goal of these measures should be such that the project is in compliance with local policies. Measures may include roadway improvements, operational changes, TDM or Transportation Systems Management measures, or changes in the project. If roadway or other operational measures would not achieve this objective, the consultant shall identify a reduction in the project size, which would with other measures, make the project compliant with local policies. All measures must first be discussed with the City Transportation Division before they are included in the report.

B. Discuss possible measures to address future traffic conditions with the project. All feasible and reasonable measures that would make the project compliant with local policies shall be identified. Measures should be designed to address the project’s share of non-compliance. Measures that should be jointly required of the project and any other on-going related projects in a related geographical area should also be identified, as applicable.

C. Discuss possible measures to address any site circulation or access deficiencies.

D. Note that if roadway improvements include capacity increases for vehicular traffic (e.g. adding lanes or turn lanes), additional VMT analysis may be required to determine if the measure would increase VMT.

Increasing VMT is considered a significant impact under SB 743.

E. Discuss possible measures to address any parking deficiencies.

F. Discuss possible measures to address any impacts on pedestrian amenities, bicycle access, safety and bus/shuttle service.

9. Alternatives
In the event any potential non-compliance with local policies is identified in the analysis, alternatives to the proposed project shall be evaluated or considered to determine what the impacts of an alternative project or use might be. The alternatives to be considered shall be determined in consultation with the Community Development Director and the Public Works Director or designee.

10. Summary and Conclusions
Upon receipt by the City of a TIA report indicating that a project may have potentially significant traffic impacts related to VMT or safety hazards, the applicant shall consult with the Planning Division to determine whether a negative declaration, mitigated negative declaration or an EIR is most appropriate for the project.

NOTES:

1. The Highway Capacity Manual (HCM), latest version shall be used for intersection analysis. The consultant shall use the Citywide Transportation model with the HCM analysis. The City utilizes a VISTRO analysis model for transportation analysis.

2. The LOS study boundary should include intersections expected to add ten or more peak hour project trips per travel lane and roadway segments likely to generate project impact based on existing demand.

3. The most recent Vistro files shall be used for all information regarding existing and near term conditions.

4. Traffic counts that may be required beyond the counts contained in the Vistro files shall be less than 6 months old unless approved by the Public Works Director or designee.

5. The consultant shall submit proposed assumptions to the Public Works Director or designee for review and approval prior to commencement of the Analysis relating to the following:
• trip rates
• trip distribution
• trip assignment
• study intersections
• roadways to be analyzed

6. The consultant shall submit all traffic count sheets in pdf format to the City’s Transportation Division.

Resolution No. XXXX

Page 6 of 11 ends

5 rev 20200707

7. Figures of existing and any proposed intersection configurations should be provided in the appendix.

8. Trip generation rates from Institute of Transportation Engineer’s (ITE) publication, “Trip Generation”, latest version should be used unless local or project-specific data is provided and approved by the Public Works Director or designee.

9. Street widening and on-street parking removal are measures which may be technically feasible, but which are generally considered undesirable. If such measures appear potentially appropriate to the consultant, they should consult the Transportation Division in preparing the analysis and improvement measure recommendations. If such measures are to be proposed, alternate measures, which would be equally effective, should also be identified. These measures may result in secondary impacts and be subjected to additional VMT analysis.

10. Existing uses at the site, which would be removed as part of the project, may be deducted from the calculation of the project traffic based on their traffic distribution patterns.

11. Refer to the San Mateo County Congestion Management Program (CMP) Land Use Impact Analysis Program guidelines for performing CMP analysis. Consistency with the CMP is based on LOS and not considered an impact under CEQA.

12. The “Quantifying Greenhouse Gas Mitigation Measures” report by the California Air Pollution Control Officers Association (CAPCOA), or other peer-reviewed publications, shall be used to determine the efficacy of TDM measures and land use context on reducing VMT.

TRANSPORTATION IMPACT ANALYSIS GUIDELINES
Public Works
701 Laurel St., Menlo Park, CA 94025
City Council Procedure #CC-20-012
Purpose
To define guidelines for analysis of development or capital projects related to transportation on local streets, pedestrian, bicycle and transit circulation.

Authority
This policy sets forth the guidelines (methods, standards, and thresholds of significance) to conduct a TIA for a development or capital project to ensure that a thorough transportation analysis occurs for all projects that might result in impacts under the California Environmental Quality Act and in conformance with the City’s General Plan.

Background
Development and capital projects wishing to obtain approval need to satisfy a wide array of state and local requirements, including but not limited to full disclosure of the potential environmental impacts of the project.

Possible environmental impacts include but are not limited to noise, air quality, greenhouse gas emissions and transportation. For purposes of disclosing potential transportation impacts, projects in the City of Menlo Park has adopted the City’s TIA guidelines to ensure compliance with both state and local requirements.

Senate Bill (SB) 743 required the Governor’s Office of Planning and Research (OPR) to establish a new metric for identifying and mitigating transportation impacts within CEQA in an effort to meet the State’s goals to reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, encourage infill development, and improve public health through more active transportation. OPR identified vehicle miles travelled (VMT) as the required transportation metric and beginning July 1, 2020, VMT (not level of service (LOS)) is the legally required threshold for transportation impacts pursuant to CEQA. OPR has identified recommendations regarding assessment of VMT and thresholds of significance, but the City may adopt local metrics and thresholds. Adoption of a local VMT threshold requires City Council adoption; the City Council approved the VMT thresholds for incorporation into these updated TIA guidelines on June 16, 2020.

Policies and procedures
Projects shall analyze both Vehicle Miles Travelled (VMT) and Level of Service (LOS) transportation metrics independently using the methodologies outlined below, except those meeting the exemption criteria. Only the VMT impacts and safety hazards can be considered for transportation impacts under CEQA.

Exemption Criteria
The exemption criteria are illustrated in Attachment A.

The following projects would generally be exempt from carrying out VMT and LOS analysis:

1. Projects generating less than 100 vehicle trips/day

2. Local servicing retail projects and other commercial projects where the total square footage is 10,000 square feet or less

3. Residential or office developments located in a low VMT area (defined below) and within ½ mile of an existing “major transit stop” or within ½ mile of a “high-quality transit corridor”

4. Affordable housing developments with 100% affordable units, either in a low VMT area or within ½ mile of an existing major transit stop or within ½ mile of a high-quality transit corridor

5. Local serving public facilities where the total new or added square footage is 10,000 square feet or less, such as libraries, police stations, fire stations, or parks. Facility type and size outside the description shall provide evidence of local serving status to City satisfaction.

6. Projects in compliance with the El Camino Real and Downtown Specific Plan “Major transit stop” means an existing rail transit station, a ferry terminal served by either a bus or rail transit service, or the intersection of two or more major bus routes with a frequency of service interval of 15 minutes or less during the morning and afternoon peak commute periods. A “high-quality transit corridor” means a fixed bus route with service intervals no longer than 15 minutes during peak commute hours.

Local serving retail projects where the total square footage is 50,000 square feet or less would be exempt from carrying out VMT analysis.

ATTACHMENT B
2 rev 20200707
All other projects involving a change of use and/or new construction will be required to submit a TIA report performed by a qualified consultant selected by the City and paid for by the project applicant.

Report Outline
For any project that is not exempt, the TIA report shall include the following:

1. Executive Summary

2. Introduction
• Project Description
• Study Scope

3. Existing Conditions – Conditions should be described based upon information found in the most recent count data and include the following: Circulation System Assessment (CSA) document when applicable. The CSA existing traffic counts and information should be used as existing conditions. • Description of existing street system serving the site (Number of lanes, classification, etc.) • Description of VMT (definition and methods)
• ECSA existing traffic volumes – ADT’s and AM & PM peak hours (Figure to be included in report) • CSA eExisting levels of service – AM & PM (Table to be included in report) • Public transit (Service providers to the area)
• On and off-street parking conditions/availability
• Pedestrian and bicycling conditions in the project area

4. VMT analysis
A. To determine the appropriate VMT analysis tool (e.g., C/CAG VMT sketch model or City’s travel demand model), refer to Attachment B.

B. To determine if the project is located in a low VMT area, refer to the City’s online mapping tool for average VMT values in the applicable traffic analysis zone (TAZ): http://menlopark.org/vmtzone.

C. Significance Criteria
A project is considered to have a significant impact on VMT if the project’s VMT exceeds the following threshold values:
• Residential: 15% below the regional average VMT per resident as estimated by the most recent City travel demand model13.7 VMT per capita1
• Office: 15% below the regional average VMT per employee as estimated by the most recent City travel demand model
• 12.7 VMT per employee2
• Retail, hotel, school, and transportation projects: a net increase in total City VMT • Mixed use projects: components are analyzed independently against the appropriate threshold • Other: Public Works Director or designee will provide direction on a case-by-case basis • Note:

1. Threshold is defined as 15% below the regional average VMT per resident of 16.1.

2. Threshold is defined as 15% below the citywide average VMT per employee of 14.9.

D. Cumulative VMT Analysis
Projects that are assessed using a total VMT threshold (i.e. retail, hotel, school, and transportation) and requireing a general plan or area plan/specific plan amendment and use the City’s travel demand model for increased density or change in circulation that would affect regional travel patterns must evaluate cumulative VMT impacts according to the same thresholds as identified above in significance criteria.

5. Mitigation for Exceeding VMT Significance Criteria
A. Projects that exceed the VMT significance criteria as defined above must demonstrate that they can reduce their VMT to below the threshold values using a mixture of trip reduction measures and transportation demand management (TDM) strategies in order to be reduce their impacts to less than significant. TDM strategies work by offering a wider range of transportation options to users of the development. Projects may select strategies from “Quantifying Greenhouse Gas Mitigation Measures” report by the California Air Pollution Control Officers Association (CAPCOA), or other peer-reviewed publications as newer data becomes available, including but not limited to:
• Transportation Demand Management: commute trip reduction program, transit subsidies, parking cashout • Parking Management: unbundled parking, pricing
• Transit improvements: proximity/access improvements, increased service frequency • Active Transportation Projects: pedestrian & bicycle networks, traffic calming 3 rev 20200707
B. All measures must first be discussed with the City Transportation Division before they are included in the report. Consultant shall identify and submit supporting documents for selected TDM strategies and mitigation measures for City review and approval.

C. As determined by the Public Works Director or designee, development of a monitoring program may be requested.

6. Near Term LOS Analysis – Near Term conditions without project should be discussed using the most recent CSA near term traffic counts and information. Project traffic should then be added to the CSA near term traffic counts. If the project build-out is beyond the CSA near term data, future conditions should be projected to the first year of assumed project occupancy. A supplemental list of planned and or/approved projects will be provided to the consultants for inclusion in the analysis process. For large projects of regional magnitude (projects generating 100 or more trips during peak hours), the consultants will also analyze the impacts of the project for under cumulative a span of ten years from the existing conditions.

A. Description of new or planned changes to the street system serving the site including changes in on-street parking
B. Near term volumes – ADT’s and AM & PM peak hours
• List project trip generation rates
• Discuss trip distribution
• Discuss impact of project traffic on intersections in the project vicinity C. Near term levels of service – AM & PM for both near term and near term plus project analysis. Table to be included in report. Also a comparison table of existing conditions including a column showing the difference in seconds of delay between existing, near term conditions and near term conditions with project and percent of increase.

7. LOS Analysis
A. Discuss impacts of CSA near term conditions and CSA near term conditions with project, illustrated in the Intersection Compliance flowchart (Attachment C).
a. A project is considered potentially non-compliant with local policies if the addition of project traffic causes an intersection on a collector street operating at LOS “A” through “C” to operate at an unacceptable level (LOS “D”, “E” or “F”) or to have an increase of 23 seconds or greater in average vehicle delay, whichever comes first. Potential non-compliance shall also include a project that causes an intersection on arterial streets or local approaches to State controlled signalized intersections operating at LOS “A” through “D” to operate at an unacceptable level (LOS “E” or “F”) or have an increase of 23 seconds or greater in average vehicle delay, whichever comes first. b. A project is also considered potentially non-compliant if the addition of project traffic causes an increase of more than 0.8 seconds of average delay to vehicles on all critical movements for intersections operating at a near term LOS “D” through “F” for collector streets and at a near term LOS “E” or “F” for arterial streets. For local approaches to State controlled signalized intersections, a project is considered to be potentially non-compliant if the addition of project traffic causes an increase of more than 0.8 seconds of delay to vehicles on the most critical movements for intersections operating at a near term LOS “E” or “F”.

B. In certain circumstances as determined by the Public Works Director or designee, analysis may be necessary for impacts on City street segments. If any of the thresholds listed below are exceeded, the analysis should make a recommendation as to whether the traffic impact is considered potentially noncompliant, illustrated in the Roadway Compliance flowchart (Attachment D). a. On Main Street, Avenue-Mixed Use, and Avenue-Neighborhood (FHWA equivalent: minor arterial streets), a traffic impact may be considered potentially non-compliant if the existing Average Daily Traffic Volume (ADT) is: (1) greater than 18,000 (90% of capacity), and there is a net increase of 100 trips or more in ADT due to project related traffic; (2) the ADT is greater than 10,000 (50% of capacity) but less than 18,000, and the project related traffic increases the ADT by 12.5% or the ADT becomes 18,000 or more; or (3) the ADT is less than 10,000, and the project related traffic increases the ADT by 25%.
b. On Mixed-Use Collector and Neighborhood Collector (FHWA equivalent: collector streets), a traffic impact may be considered potentially non-compliant if the existing Daily Traffic Volume (ADT) is: (1) greater than 9,000 (90% of capacity), and there is a net increase of 50 trips or more in ADT due to project related traffic; (2) the ADT is greater than 5,000 (50% of capacity) but less than 9,000, and the project related traffic increases the ADT by 12.5% or the ADT becomes 9,000 or more; or (3) the ADT is less than 5,000, and the project related traffic increases the ADT by 25%. c. On Neighborhood Connector, Bicycle Boulevard, and Local Access (FHWA equivalent: local streets), a traffic impact may be considered potentially non-compliant if the existing Daily Traffic Volume (ADT) is:
4 rev 20200707
(1) greater than 1,350 (90% of capacity), and there is a net increase of 25 trips or more in ADT due to project related traffic; (2) the ADT is greater than 750 (50% of capacity) but less than 1,350, and the project related traffic increases the ADT by 12.5% or the ADT becomes 1,350; or (3) the ADT is less than 750, and the project related traffic increases the ADT by 25%.

C. Discuss project site circulation and access and identify any deficiencies.

D. Discuss compliance of project site parking with adopted City code including loading and disabled spaces. If a shared parking arrangement is proposed, an analysis of the adequacy of this aspect shall be provided.

Discuss any off-site parking impacts (such as neighborhood parking intrusion) of the project.

E. Analyze project in relation to relevant policies of the Circulation Element of the General Plan.

F. Analyze potential cut-through traffic generated by the project impacting other City neighborhoods.

G. Pedestrian conditions and bicycle access, including safety issues, should be discussed.

H. Analyze project using the requirements outlined in the San Mateo County Congestion Management Plan Land Use Analysis Program guidelines, if applicable.

8. Improvement Measures for Circulation or Access Deficiencies A. Discuss specific measures in detail to address non-compliance with local policies, which may occur as a result of the addition of project traffic (provide table comparing before and after improvement measure).

Analysis shall focus on improving circulation or access deficiencies to comply with local policies. All feasible and reasonable measures that could reduce circulation or access deficiencies should be identified, whether or not they are caused by the project. The goal of these measures should be such that the project is in compliance with local policies. Measures may include roadway improvements, operational changes, TDM or Transportation Systems Management measures, or changes in the project. If roadway or other operational measures would not achieve this objective, the consultant shall identify a reduction in the project size, which would with other measures, make the project compliant with local policies. All measures must first be discussed with the City Transportation Division before they are included in the report.

B. Discuss possible measures to address future traffic conditions with the project. All feasible and reasonable measures that would make the project compliant with local policies shall be identified. Measures should be designed to address the project’s share of non-compliance. Measures that should be jointly required of the project and any other on-going related projects in a related geographical area should also be identified, as applicable.

C. Discuss possible measures to address any site circulation or access deficiencies.

D. Note that if roadway improvements include capacity increases for vehicular traffic (e.g. adding lanes or turn lanes), additional VMT analysis may be required to determine if the measure would increase VMT.

Increasing VMT is considered a significant impact under SB 743.

E. Discuss possible measures to address any parking deficiencies.

F. Discuss possible measures to address any impacts on pedestrian amenities, bicycle access, safety and bus/shuttle service.

9. Alternatives
In the event any potentially non-compliance with local policies isare identified in the analysis, alternatives to the proposed project shall be evaluated or considered to determine what the impacts of an alternative project or use might be. The alternatives to be considered shall be determined in consultation with the Community Development Director and the Public Works Director or designee.

10. Summary and Conclusions
Upon receipt by the City of a TIA report indicating that a project may have potentially significant traffic impacts related to VMT or safety hazards, the applicant shall haveconsult with the Planning Division the option of proceeding directly with the preparation of an EIR in accordance with the City’s procedures for preparation of an EIR, or requesting a determination by the City Council as to determine whether a negative declaration, mitigated negative declaration or an EIR is most appropriate for the project.

NOTES:

1. The Highway Capacity Manual (HCM), latest version shall be used for intersection analysis. The consultant shall use the Citywide Transportation model with the HCM analysis. The City utilizes a VISTRO analysis model for transportation analysis.

2. The LOS study boundary should include intersections expected to add ten or more peak hour project trips per travel lane and roadway segments likely to generate project impact based on existing demand.

3. The most recent Vistro files Circulation System Assessment (CSA) shall be used for all information regarding existing and near term conditions.
5 rev 20200707

4. Traffic counts that may be required beyond the counts contained in the Vistro files CSA document shall be less than 6 months old unless approved by the Public Works Director or designee.

5. The consultant shall submit proposed assumptions to the Public Works Director or designee for review and approval prior to commencement of the Analysis relating to the following:
• trip rates
• trip distribution
• trip assignment
• study intersections
• roadways to be analyzed

6. The consultant shall submit all traffic count sheets in pdf format to the City’s Transportation Division.

7. Figures of existing and any proposed intersection configurations should be provided in the appendix.

8. Trip generation rates from Institute of Transportation Engineer’s (ITE) publication, “Trip Generation”, latest version should be used unless local or project-specific data is provided and approved by the Public Works Director or designee..

9. Street widening and on-street parking removal are measures which may be technically feasible, but which are generally considered undesirable. If such measures appear potentially appropriate to the consultant, they should consult the Transportation Division in preparing the analysis and improvement measure recommendations. If such measures are to be proposed, alternate measures, which would be equally effective, should also be identified. These measures may result in secondary impacts and be subjected to additional VMT analysis.

10. Existing uses at the site, which would be removed as part of the project, may be deducted from the calculation of the project traffic based on their traffic distribution patterns.

11. Refer to the San Mateo County Congestion Management Program (CMP) Land Use Impact Analysis Program guidelines for performing CMP analysis. Consistency with the CMP is based on LOS and not considered an impact under CEQA.

12. The “Quantifying Greenhouse Gas Mitigation Measures” report by the California Air Pollution Control Officers Association (CAPCOA), or other peer-reviewed publications, shall be used to determine the efficacy of TDM measures and land use context on reducing VMT.

TRANSPORTATION IMPACT ANALYSIS GUIDELINES
City Council Procedure #CC-20-012
Purpose
To define guidelines for analysis of development or capital projects related to transportation on local streets, pedestrian, bicycle and transit circulation.

Authority
This policy sets forth the guidelines (methods, standards and thresholds of significance) to conduct a transportation impact analysis (TIA) for a development or capital project to ensure that a thorough transportation analysis occurs for all projects that might result in impacts under the California Environmental Quality Act and in conformance with the City’s General Plan.

Background
Development and capital projects wishing to obtain approval need to satisfy a wide array of state and local requirements, including but not limited to full disclosure of the potential environmental impacts of the project.

Possible environmental impacts include but are not limited to noise, air quality, greenhouse gas emissions and transportation. For purposes of disclosing potential transportation impacts, the City of Menlo Park has adopted TIA guidelines to ensure compliance with both state and local requirements.

Senate Bill 743 required the Governor’s Office of Planning and Research (OPR) to establish a new metric for identifying and mitigating transportation impacts within CEQA in an effort to meet the State’s goals to reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, encourage infill development, and improve public health through more active transportation. OPR identified vehicle miles traveled (VMT) as the required transportation metric and beginning July 1, 2020, VMT (not level of service (LOS) is the legally required threshold for transportation impacts pursuant to CEQA. OPR has identified recommendations regarding assessment of VMT and thresholds of significance, but the City may adopt local metrics and thresholds. Adoption of a local VMT threshold requires City Council approval; the City Council approved the VMT thresholds for incorporation into these updated TIA guidelines on June 16, 2020.

Policies and procedures
Projects shall analyze both vehicle miles traveled (VMT) and level of service (LOS) transportation metrics independently using the methodologies outlined below, except those meeting the exemption criteria.

Exemption criteria
The exemption criteria are illustrated in Attachment A.

The following projects would generally be exempt from carrying out VMT and LOS analysis:

1. Projects generating less than 100 vehicle trips/day

2. Local servicing retail projects and other commercial projects where the total square footage is 10,000 square feet or less

3. Residential or office developments located in a low VMT area (defined below) and within ½ mile of an existing “major transit stop” or within ½ mile of a “high-quality transit corridor”

4. Affordable housing developments with 100 percent affordable units, either in a low VMT area or within ½ mile of an existing major transit stop or within ½ mile of a high-quality transit corridor

5. Local serving public facilities where the total new or added square footage is 10,000 square feet or less, such as libraries, police stations, fire stations or parks. Facility type and size outside the description shall provide evidence of local serving status to City satisfaction.

6. Projects in compliance with the El Camino Real and Downtown Specific Plan “Major transit stop” means an existing rail transit station, a ferry terminal served by either a bus or rail transit service, or the intersection of two or more major bus routes with a frequency of service interval of 15 minutes or less during the morning and afternoon peak commute periods. A “high-quality transit corridor” means a fixed bus route with service intervals no longer than 15 minutes during peak commute hours.

Local serving retail projects where the total square footage is 50,000 square feet or less would be exempt from carrying out VMT analysis.
2 rev 20200707
All other projects involving a change of use and/or new construction will be required to submit a TIA report performed by a qualified consultant selected by the City and paid for by the project applicant.

Report outline
For any project that is not exempt, the TIA report shall include the following:

1. Executive summary

2. Introduction
 Project Description
 Study Scope

3. Existing conditions – Conditions should be described based upon information found in the most recent Circulation System Assessment (CSA) document when applicable. The CSA existing traffic counts and information should be used as existing conditions.
 Description of existing street system serving the site (Number of lanes, classification, etc.)  Description of VMT (definition and methods)
 CSA existing traffic volumes – Average daily traffic volume (ADT) and AM and PM peak hours (Figure to be included in report)
 CSA existing levels of service – AM and PM (Table to be included in report)  Public transit (Service providers to the area)
 On and off-street parking conditions/availability
 Pedestrian and bicycling conditions in the project area

4. VMT analysis
A. To determine the appropriate VMT analysis tool (e.g., C/CAG VMT sketch model or City’s travel demand model), refer to Attachment B.

B. To determine if the project is located in a low VMT area, refer to the city’s online mapping tool for average VMT values in the applicable traffic analysis zone (TAZ): http://menlopark.org/vmtzone.

C. Significance Criteria
A project is considered to have a significant impact on VMT if the project’s VMT exceeds the following threshold values:
 Residential: 13.7 VMT per capita1
 Office: 12.7 VMT per employee2
 Retail, hotel, school and transportation projects: a net increase in total City VMT  Mixed use projects: components are analyzed independently against the appropriate threshold  Other: Public works director or designee will provide direction on a case-by-case basis  Note:

1. Threshold is defined as 15 percent below the regional average VMT per resident of 16.1.

2. Threshold is defined as 15 percent below the citywide average VMT per employee of 14.9.

D. Cumulative VMT analysis
Projects requiring a general plan or area plan/specific plan amendment and use the City’s travel demand model must evaluate cumulative VMT impacts according to the same thresholds as identified above in significance criteria.

5. Mitigation for exceeding VMT significance criteria
A. Projects that exceed the VMT significance criteria as defined above must demonstrate that they can reduce their VMT to below the threshold values using a mixture of trip reduction measures and transportation demand management (TDM) strategies. TDM strategies work by offering a wider range of transportation options to user of the development. Projects may select strategies from “Quantifying Greenhouse Gas Mitigation Measures” report by the California Air Pollution Control Officers Association (CAPCOA), or other peer-reviewed publications as newer data becomes available, including but not limited to:
 Transportation Demand Management: commute trip reduction program, transit subsidies, parking cashout  Parking Management: unbundled parking, pricing
 Transit improvements: proximity/access improvements, increased service frequency  Active Transportation Projects: pedestrian and bicycle networks, traffic calming B. All measures must first be discussed with the City Transportation Division before they are included in the report. Consultant shall identify and submit supporting documents for selected TDM strategies and mitigation measures for City review and approval.
3 rev 20200707
C. As determined by the public works director or designee, development of a monitoring program may be requested.

6. Near-term LOS analysis – Near-term conditions without project should be discussed using the most recent CSA near-term traffic counts and information. Project traffic should then be added to the CSA near-term traffic counts. If the project build-out is beyond the CSA near-term data, future conditions should be projected to the first year of assumed project occupancy. A supplemental list of planned and or/approved projects will be provided to the consultants for inclusion in the analysis process. For large projects of regional magnitude (projects generating 100 or more trips during peak hours), the consultants will analyze the impacts of the project for a span of 10 years from the existing conditions.

A. Description of new or planned changes to the street system serving the site including changes in on-street parking
B. Near-term volumes – ADTs and AM and PM peak hours
 List project trip generation rates
 Discuss trip distribution
 Discuss impact of project traffic on intersections in the project vicinity C. Near-term levels of service – AM and PM for both near-term and near-term plus project analysis. Table to be included in report. Also a comparison table of existing conditions including a column showing the difference in seconds of delay between existing, near-term conditions and near-term conditions with project and percent of increase.

7. LOS Analysis
A. Discuss impacts of CSA near-term conditions and CSA near-term conditions with project, illustrated in the Intersection Compliance flowchart (Attachment C).
a. A project is considered potentially noncompliant with local policies if the addition of project traffic causes an intersection on a collector street operating at LOS “A” through “C” to operate at an unacceptable level (LOS “D,” “E” or “F”) or have an increase of 23 seconds or greater in average vehicle delay, whichever comes first. Potential noncompliance shall also include a project that causes an intersection on arterial streets or local approaches to State controlled signalized intersections operating at LOS “A” through “D” to operate at an unacceptable level (LOS “E” or “F”) or have an increase of 23 seconds or greater in average vehicle delay, whichever comes first. b. A project is also considered potentially noncompliant if the addition of project traffic causes an increase of more than 0.8 seconds of average delay to vehicles on all critical movements for intersections operating at a near-term LOS “D” through “F” for collector streets and at a near-term LOS “E” or “F” for arterial streets. For local approaches to State controlled signalized intersections, a project is considered to be potentially noncompliant if the addition of project traffic causes an increase of more than 0.8 seconds of delay to vehicles on the most critical movements for intersections operating at a near-term LOS “E” or “F.”
B. In certain circumstances as determined by the public works director or designee, analysis may be necessary for impacts on City street segments. If any of the thresholds listed below are exceeded, the analysis should make a recommendation as to whether the traffic impact is considered potentially noncompliant, illustrated in the roadway compliance flowchart (Attachment D).

1. On Main Street, Avenue-Mixed Use and Avenue-Neighborhood (FHWA equivalent: minor arterial streets), a traffic impact may be considered potentially noncompliant if the existing ADT is: (1) greater than 18,000 (90 percent of capacity), and there is a net increase of 100 trips or more in ADT due to project related traffic; (2) the ADT is greater than 10,000 (50 percent of capacity) but less than 18,000, and the project related traffic increases the ADT by 12.5 percent or the ADT becomes 18,000 or more; or (3) the ADT is less than 10,000, and the project related traffic increases the ADT by 25 percent.

2. On Mixed-Use Collector and Neighborhood Collector (FHWA equivalent: collector streets), a traffic impact may be considered potentially noncompliant if the existing ADT is: (1) greater than 9,000 (90 percent of capacity), and there is a net increase of 50 trips or more in ADT due to project related traffic; (2) the ADT is greater than 5,000 (50 percent of capacity) but less than 9,000, and the project related traffic increases the ADT by 12.5 percent or the ADT becomes 9,000 or more; or (3) the ADT is less than 5,000, and the project related traffic increases the ADT by 25 percent.

3. On Neighborhood Connector, Bicycle Boulevard and Local Access (FHWA equivalent: local streets), a traffic impact may be considered potentially noncompliant if the existing ADT is: (1) greater than 1,350 (90 percent of capacity), and there is a net increase of 25 trips or more in ADT due to project related traffic; (2) the ADT is greater than 750 (50 percent of capacity) but less than 1,350, and the project related traffic increases the ADT by 12.5 percent or the ADT becomes 1,350; or (3) the ADT is less than 750, and the project related traffic increases the ADT by 25 percent.

C. Discuss project site circulation and access and identify any deficiencies. 4 rev 20200707
D. Discuss compliance of project site parking with adopted City code including loading and disabled spaces. If a shared parking arrangement is proposed, an analysis of the adequacy of this aspect shall be provided.

Discuss any off-site parking impacts (such as neighborhood parking intrusion) of the project.

E. Analyze project in relation to relevant policies of the Circulation Element of the General Plan.

F. Analyze potential cut-through traffic generated by the project affecting other City neighborhoods.

G. Pedestrian conditions and bicycle access, including safety issues, should be discussed.

H. Analyze project using the requirements outlined in the San Mateo County Congestion Management Plan Land Use Analysis Program guidelines, if applicable.

8. Improvement measures for circulation or access deficiencies A. Discuss specific measures in detail to address noncompliance with local policies, which may occur as a result of the addition of project traffic (provide table comparing before and after improvement measure).

Analysis shall focus on improving circulation or access deficiencies to comply with local policies. All feasible and reasonable measures that could reduce circulation or access deficiencies should be identified, whether or not they are caused by the project. The goal of these measures should be such that the project is in compliance with local policies. Measures may include roadway improvements, operational changes, TDM or Transportation Systems Management measures or changes in the project. If roadway or other operational measures would not achieve this objective, the consultant shall identify a reduction in the project size, which would with other measures, make the project compliant with local policies. All measures must first be discussed with the City Transportation Division before they are included in the report.

B. Discuss possible measures to address future traffic conditions with the project. All feasible and reasonable measures that would make the project compliant with local policies shall be identified. Measures should be designed to address the project’s share of noncompliance. Measures that should be jointly required of the project and any other on-going related projects in a related geographical area should also be identified, as applicable.

C. Discuss possible measures to address any site circulation or access deficiencies.

D. Note that if roadway improvements include capacity increases for vehicular traffic (e.g., adding lanes or turn lanes), additional VMT analysis may be required to determine if the measure would increase VMT.

Increasing VMT is considered a significant impact under SB 743.

E. Discuss possible measures to address any parking deficiencies.

F. Discuss possible measures to address any impacts on pedestrian amenities, bicycle access, safety and bus/shuttle service.

9. Alternatives
In the event any potentially noncompliance with local policies are identified in the analysis, alternatives to the proposed project shall be evaluated or considered to determine what the impacts of an alternative project or use might be. The alternatives to be considered shall be determined in consultation with the community development director and the public works director or designee.

10. Summary and conclusions
Upon receipt by the City of a TIA report indicating that a project may have potentially significant traffic impacts, the applicant shall have the option of proceeding directly with the preparation of an EIR in accordance with the City’s procedures for preparation of an EIR, or requesting a determination by the City Council as to whether a negative declaration, mitigated negative declaration or an EIR is most appropriate for the project.

Notes:

1. The Highway Capacity Manual (HCM), latest version shall be used for intersection analysis. The consultant shall use the citywide transportation model with the HCM analysis. The City utilizes a VISTRO analysis model for transportation analysis.

2. The LOS study boundary should include intersections expected to add 10 or more peak hour project trips per travel lane and roadway segments likely to generate project impact based on existing demand.

3. The most recent Circulation System Assessment (CSA) shall be used for all information regarding existing and near-term conditions.

4. Traffic counts that may be required beyond the counts contained in the CSA document shall be less than six months old.

5. The consultant shall submit proposed assumptions to the public works director or designee for review and approval before commencement of the analysis relating to the following:
 trip rates
 trip distribution
 trip assignment
 study intersections
5 rev 20200707
 roadways to be analyzed

6. The consultant shall submit all traffic count sheets in pdf format to the City’s Transportation Division.

7. Figures of existing and any proposed intersection configurations should be provided in the appendix.

8. Trip generation rates from Institute of Transportation Engineer’s (ITE) publication, “Trip Generation,” latest version should be used.

9. Street widening and on-street parking removal are measures which may be technically feasible, but which are generally considered undesirable. If such measures appear potentially appropriate to the consultant, they should consult the Transportation Division in preparing the analysis and improvement measure recommendations. If such measures are to be proposed, alternate measures, which would be equally effective, should also be identified. These measures may result in secondary impacts and be subjected to additional VMT analysis.

10. Existing uses at the site, which would be removed as part of the project, may be deducted from the calculation of the project traffic based on their traffic distribution patterns.

11. Refer to the San Mateo County Congestion Management Program (CMP) Land Use Impact Analysis Program guidelines for performing CMP analysis.

12. The “Quantifying Greenhouse Gas Mitigation Measures” report by the California Air Pollution Control Officers Association (CAPCOA), or other peer-reviewed publications, shall be used to determine the efficacy of TDM measures and land use context on reducing VMT.

STAFF REPORT
City Council
Meeting Date: 1/11/2022
Staff Report Number: 22-003-CC
Regular Business: Adopt Resolution No. 6690 authorizing the city manager to execute a purchase and sale agreement
for a portion of 700-800 El Camino Real to support
implementation of the Middle Avenue pedestrian
and bicycle rail undercrossing project and making
specified findings in association therewith
consistent with the certified El Camino Real and
Downtown specific plan environmental impact
report and the certified addendum to the specific
plan environmental impact report
Recommendation
Staff recommends that the City Council adopt Resolution No. 6690 (Attachment A) authorizing the city manager to execute a purchase agreement in substantially the same form as Exhibit A of Attachment A with Menlo Station Development, LLC, for a portion of 700-800 El Camino Real (APN 071-333-200) to support implementation of the Middle Avenue pedestrian and bicycle rail crossing project and making specified findings in association therewith consistent with the certified El Camino Real and Downtown specific plan environmental impact report and the certified addendum to the specific plan environmental impact report.

Policy Issues
The 2021 City Council work plan identifies the Middle Avenue pedestrian and bicycle rail crossing project (project) as a high priority project. The project is consistent with policies stated in the 2016 general plan circulation element, the El Camino Real and Downtown specific plan and is included in the City’s capital improvement program (CIP.) These policies seek to maintain a safe, efficient, attractive, user-friendly circulation system that promotes a healthy, safe and active community and quality of life throughout Menlo Park.

Background
On July 20, 2016, the San Mateo County Transportation Authority programmed funds from the Measure A Grade Pedestrian and Bicycle Program in the amount of $490,000 for the preliminary engineering and environmental clearance phases of the Middle Avenue pedestrian and bicycle rail crossing project. The City hired AECOM Technical Services, Inc. (AECOM) to prepare 30 percent design documents, complete required environmental analysis, and conduct community engagement. Staff also coordinated with Caltrain on design criteria and the ongoing electrification project.

On August 27, 2019, the City Council unanimously passed a motion to select Concept 3 (Attachment B) as the preferred alternative for the crossing. The project will construct an undercrossing approximately 10-12 feet below the street/plaza elevation that generally aligns with a proposed raised crosswalk on Alma Street and is slightly offset from the plaza at 500 El Camino Real (Stanford’s Middle Plaza project.) The crossing AGENDA ITEM H-4 Page H-4.1

On January 28, 2020, the City Council certified the project environmental document, an addendum to the El Camino Real and Downtown specific plan environmental impact report, and approved the 30 percent project plans.

The project is critical to providing improved east-west bicycle and pedestrian connectivity, as El Camino Real and the Caltrain railroad tracks present real and perceived barriers to bicycling and walking. This undercrossing would improve connectivity for neighborhoods on both sides of the Caltrain tracks with City amenities, and improve access to public transit and downtown Menlo Park. It would encourage the use of more active modes of transportation and contribute to a healthier Menlo Park.

The proposed concept design for the Middle Avenue pedestrian and bicycle crossing includes an access ramp on the west side of the railroad tracks that is located on the 700-800 El Camino Real property.

Approximately 17,000 square foot of the 700-800 El Camino Real Property extends south from the main property, lying between the railroad tracks and 500 El Camino Real.

On August 27, 2019, the City Council directed staff to make an offer to purchase the property needed to construct the undercrossing. Staff engaged Associated Right of Way Services, Inc. to appraise the property and identify a fair market price. This work was completed in mid-2020 and established a fair market price of $210 per square foot. The City is required to pay “just compensation” for the acquisition of property, generally defined as the fair market value for the property. The fair market value of the property must consider the legally permissible, physically possible, financially feasible, and maximally productive use of the property considering the entire site, not simply the existing use of the land in question as parking. The appraisal was based on comparable property sales in the vicinity of El Camino Real in San Mateo County.

Because of the location of the property and to support construction of the undercrossing, the City also negotiated with the seller for a construction easement adjacent to the purchase property and an access easement needed for construction. The purchase and sale agreement (Exhibit A to Attachment A) includes a graphic depiction of the area to be purchased and each of the easements.

Using the appraised price, the negotiated price for the purchase and two easements yields a total purchase price of $3,894,500, comprised of:
• Purchase of 17,483 square feet at $210 per square foot for a total of $3.7 million, plus approximately $137,000 for the value of the assets (paving, landscaping, light fixtures, and trees on the property to be acquired)
• A construction easement of 1,248 square feet valued at 10 percent of the fair market value, or approximately $26,000, to aid in the construction of the undercrossing • An access easement of 5,626 square feet valued at five percent of the fair market value, or approximately $59,000 for truck access to the site during construction The purchase of this property requires an update to the planned development permit for 700-800 El Camino Real to reduce the parking required for this property, which will require recommendation by the Planning Commission and approval by the City Council. The City and seller are collaborating on an application for the parking reduction, with the City taking the lead. In preparation for applying for the permit, staff conducted parking utilization counts in 2019 that indicated that the reduction in parking at the site would not impact the Page H-4.2

During the construction of 500 El Camino Real, the property proposed for purchase has been used for construction staging, which is expected to continue through most or all of 2022.

Staff are also working with Caltrain to coordinate on the approach to final design and construction of the undercrossing. Because the undercrossing will be on Caltrain property, Caltrain will take the lead on some elements of the final design and construction. The City and Caltrain are also evaluating creative project delivery methods, such as design-build that may lead to more efficient delivery of the project.

Following execution of the purchase and sales agreement, the City must take the following actions:
• Within 10 days make an initial deposit of $10,000 into escrow. • Within 90 days, approve the purchase of the property, following inspection of the property, and deposit an additional $90,000 into escrow.
• Initiate the parking reduction approvals, expected to take six to eight months, with completion of this task required within 24 months of signing the purchase and sale agreement. • Within 24 months, close the purchase of the property. Closing can take place as soon as 30 days after receiving both the parking reduction approval and construction approvals from PUC and Caltrain, but cannot be more than 24 months total after the execution of the purchase and sale agreement.

Impact on City Resources
AECOM estimated the cost of project construction (assuming construction by 2025) at $20 million, including final design, right of way, utility relocations and construction, though the cost estimate will be updated as part of final design. The City’s CIP includes $6.5 million to advance the Middle Avenue undercrossing from Transportation Impact Fees. As part of the 500 El Camino Real (MiddlePlaza) development agreement, Stanford is required to contribute 50 percent of the cost, up to $5 million, toward the project. The County of Santa Clara also awarded the City an additional $1 million for this project as part of the Stanford University’s Recreation Mitigation fund.

Staff continues to explore sources of revenue for the $7.5 million needed to construct this project. Possible sources for this funding may come from the federal level. Representative Eshoo included $6.5 million for the Middle Avenue pedestrian and bicycle undercrossing as a member designated project, though this funding is dependent on the progress of future federal legislation. Member designated projects were not included in the recently signed Federal Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act. Other potential sources of funding may include grants from new Federal grant programs for active transportation that were included in the Federal Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act, existing regional and state grant programs or other local funding sources such as transportation impact fees, Measure A or Measure W funds.

Environmental Review
The construction of the Middle Avenue pedestrian and bicycle undercrossing project is within the scope of the El Camino Real and Downtown specific plan environmental impact report, State Clearinghouse Number 2009122048 (Specific Plan EIR), certified by City Council June 5, 2012, consistent with CEQA Guidelines Section 15168. The City prepared an addendum to the Specific Plan EIR because changes and additions to the document were necessary, but none of the conditions described in Section 15162 of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) Guidelines calling for the preparation of a subsequent EIR occurred. On January 28, 2020, the City Council certified an addendum to the Specific Plan EIR, which analyzed potential impacts from the implementation of the Middle Avenue pedestrian and bicycle rail crossing project as provided for under Section 15164 of the CEQA Guidelines.
