Item Title: Consider the Recommendation from Mayor Montano for Appointments to City Commissions (Contact: Mayor Montano, 408-586-3024)
Category: Consent Calendar-Leadership and Support Services Meeting Date: 12/10/2024
Recommendation: Receive the recommendation from Mayor Montano and approve appointments to City Commissions
Background:
The City of Milpitas has 13 Commissions (including the Measure F Oversight Committee), with members appointed by the Mayor and confirmed by the City Council. The Commissions advise the Milpitas elected officials on a variety of community interest and policy areas.
Any resident interested in serving on a City Commission must complete a Commission Application and submit the form to the City Clerk. Copies of the applications are provided to the Mayor for her consideration. Per Government Code 40605, in a general law city where the office of Mayor is an elective office, the Mayor with the approval of the City Council, shall make all appointments to boards, commissions, and committees unless otherwise specifically provided by statute.
Current Commissioners may seek to be reappointed upon the expiration of their current term, but reappointment to a new term is not automatic. Those Commissioners seeking reappointment must contact the City Clerk and the Mayor to convey their request. Re-appointment must be recommended by the Mayor and confirmed by the City Council.
Analysis:
Mayor Montano is making the following recommendations for appointment:
Planning Commission:
1. Reappoint Parveen Gupta to a full term ending December 2027.
2. Reappoint Dipak Awasthi to a full term ending December 2027.
3. Reappoint Alexander Galang to a full term ending December 2027.

AGENDA REPORT
(AR)
Item Title: Review and Accept the Development Impact Fee Annual and Five-Year Reports for the Calaveras Boulevard Widening Traffic Impact Fee, Transit Area Specific Plan Impact Fee, and Storm Drainage Improvement Fee (Staff Contact: Luz Cofresí-Howe, Finance Director, 408-586-3111)
Category: Consent Calendar-Leadership and Support Services Meeting Date: 12/10/2024
Recommendation: (1) Review and accept the Development Impact Fee Annual and Five-Year Reports consistent with the Mitigation Fee Act for the Calaveras Boulevard Widening Traffic Impact Fee, Transit Area Specific Plan (TASP) Impact Fee, and Storm Drainage Improvement Fee for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2024; (2) Adopt a Resolution making all findings required by the Mitigation Fee Act.
BACKGROUND:
California Government Code Section 66000 et seq. (Mitigation Fee Act) requires local agencies to provide an accounting of fees charged for development projects. The City has two basic accounting and reporting responsibilities under the Government Code. Section 66001(d) requires that, Five-Years after collecting a development fee subject to this Code section and every Five Years thereafter, the local agency shall make findings with respect to any portion of the fee remaining unexpended, whether committed or uncommitted. If the required findings are not made, the unexpended funds shall be refunded to the current property owners.
The Five-Year Report must:
1. Identify the purpose of the fee;
2. Demonstrate a reasonable relationship between the fee and the purpose for which it was charged;
3. Identify all sources and amounts of funding anticipated to complete financing of incomplete improvements; and
4. Designate the approximate dates on which these funding sources can be expected to be deposited into the appropriate account or fund.
When sufficient funds have been collected to complete financing on incomplete public improvements, the local agency has 180 days to identify an approximate date by which the construction of the public improvement will begin or else is required to refund the unexpended fees, including accrued interest, to the current owner of lots or units of the development project.
For Fiscal Year ending on June 30, 2024, the City is reporting on its last Five-Year findings for the remaining unexpended fee proceeds for the Calaveras Blvd Widening Traffic Impact Fee, the Transit Area Specific Plan Impact Fee and the Storm Drainage Improvement Fee.
The second requirement set forth under Government Code Section 66006(b)(1)* provides that each local agency is required on an annual basis, within 180 days after fiscal year end, for each separate account, to make available to the public the following information:
1. Brief description of the type of fee in the account;
2. The amount of the fee;
3. The account’s beginning and ending balance;
4. The amount of fees collected, and the interest earned;
5. A description of the improvements on which the funds were expended and the amount expended on each improvement including the percentage of the improvement funded with development fees;
6. An approximate date by which the construction of a public improvement will begin if the local agency determines that sufficient funds have been collected to complete financing on the incomplete improvement;
7. A description of each inter-fund transfer or loan made from the account; and
8. The amount of any refunds or allocations made pursuant to Code Section 66001.
The City deposits impact fees subject to the above disclosure in the Calaveras Boulevard Widening Traffic Impact Fee Fund, Transit Area Specific Plan (TASP) Impact Fee Fund, and Storm Drain Development Fund to track these development related fees. Interest income is allocated to these funds based on their respective monthly cash balances. Expenditures from these funds were in the form of capital improvement projects to either renovate existing facilities or maintain the existing level of service, consistent with the General Plan and approved Capital Improvement Plan, due to increased demand related to the development projects.
ANALYSIS:
Annual reports (included in the agenda packet) summarize the Fiscal Year 2023-2024 fund activity for Calaveras Boulevard Widening Traffic Impact Fee (Exhibit 1); Transit Area Specific Plan (TASP) Impact Fee (Exhibit 2); and Storm Drainage Improvement Fee (Exhibit 3). The reports show the amount of fees collected in fiscal year 2023-2024, interest income, a brief description of the projects funded, the percentage of the projects funded by the development fees, and the beginning and ending balance of the funds. The table below shows the beginning fund balance, revenues received, expenditures and ending fund balance for each impact fee for Fiscal Year 2023-2024. The plan to expend the funds available in ending fund balances for the various fees is outlined in the attached reports. For the TASP Impact Fee, for example, the unexpended fee proceeds will be used to fund necessary infrastructure (e.g.: a community center/recreation facility, a park, Montague Expressway widening) as identified in the Transit Area Development Impact Fee Report and the City Capital Improvement Program 2025-2029.

1Annual reporting for the Storm Drainage Improvement Fee is subject to Government Code Section 66013; however, those reporting requirements are substantially similar to the annual reporting requirements under Government Code Section 66006 and are referred to collectively here for convenience.
Additionally, the City also provides Five-Year Reports for the Calaveras Boulevard Widening Traffic Impact Fee in Exhibit 4, the Transit Area Specific Plan Fee in Exhibit 5 and the Storm Drainage Improvement Fee in Exhibit 6. These reports identify the purpose of each fee, demonstrate the reasonable relationship between the fee and the purposes for which the fee was charged, identify the sources and amounts of funding anticipated to complete financing of improvements and designate approximate dates on which these funding sources can be expected.
POLICY ALTERNATIVE(S):
Alternative 1: Do not adopt the resolution and accept the annual development impact fee disclosure information and Five-Year reports.
Pros: None.
Cons: Not adopting the resolution and accepting the annual development impact fee disclosure information and/or the Five-Year Reports will place the City in violation of the Mitigation Fee Act, which will require that those fees are refunded to the property owners.
Reason not recommended: None
FISCAL IMPACT:
Not applicable.
CALIFORNIA ENVIRONMENTAL QUALITY ACT (CEQA):
The action being considered has no potential for causing a significant effect on the environment and is exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) Guidelines Section 15061 (b)(3).

CALAVERAS BOULEVARD WIDENING TRAFFIC IMPACT FEE
Summary:
This Five Year Report provides information and findings on unexpended funds in the Calaveras Boulevard Widening Traffic Impact Fee account as of June 30, 2024 pursuant to Government Code section 66001(d).
Fund Information:
The Calaveras Boulevard Widening Traffic Impact Fund currently contains Eighty-Six Thousand Six Hundred Fifty-Three Dollars ($ 86,653) in unexpended Traffic Impact Fees for the Calaveras Widening Project (Unexpended Fee).
Pursuant to Government Code section 66001(d)(1):
A)Purpose. The Unexpended Traffic Impact Fee will be used to fund facilities necessary to provide for the Calaveras Boulevard Widening Project as identified in the Transportation Impact Fee Study Report dated February 2009, and the City Capital Improvement Program 2018-2023 Final Report. The Project will widen Calaveras Boulevard from four lanes to six lanes between Town Center Drive and Abel Street within the City limits, with pedestrian and bicycle access in each direction, as well as reconstruction of certain bridge structures.
B)Relationship between the fee and the purpose for which it is charged. There exists a reasonable relationship between the Unexpended Fee described above and the purpose for which it was charged, as the improvements will mitigate increased traffic caused by development and ensure adverse traffic impacts be minimized by implementing needed roadway improvements as set forth in the Transportation Impact Fee Study Report Dated February 2009. The Fee is a means of ensuring new development located outside of the Transit Area Specific Plan (TASP) pay its proportionate share of the costs of the Calaveras Boulevard Widening Project. Specifically, the Fee is assessed based on vehicle trips generated by future (non-TASP) growth in Milpitas during PM peak hours which justify the need for additional street capacity.
C)Sources of funding anticipated to complete financing of incomplete improvements.
Based on the Transportation Impact Fee Study Report dated February 2009, the current estimated total cost of the Calaveras Boulevard Widening Project is approximately Eighty Million Dollars ($80,000,000), of which the City minimum local match share (11.47%) is Nine Million One Hundred Seventy Six Thousand Dollars ($9,176,000). The difference between the Project cost and the City local match share is anticipated to come from California State Transportation Improvement Funds. The City funding source for the local match share will include the Unexpended Fee of Eighty-Six Thousand Six Hundred Fifty- Three Dollars ($ 86,653), TASP funds of $6.8M, and future traffic impact fees to be collected for this Project from developments outside the TASP area.
D)Approximate dates on which the funding will be deposited. The funding will be transferred to the City Capital Improvement Program 2025-2029.

TRANSIT AREA SPECIFIC PLAN (TASP) IMPACT FEE
Summary:
This Five Year Report provides information and findings on unexpended funds in the Transit Area Specific Plan (TASP) Fee account as of June 30, 2024 pursuant to Government Code section 66001(d).
Fund Information:
The TASP Fee Fund currently contains Forty-Nine Million Five Hundred Seventy-Six Thousand Three Hundred Seventy-Nine Dollars ($ 49,576,379) in unexpended TASP Fees (Unexpended Fee).
Pursuant to Government Code section 66001(d)(1):
A)Purpose. The Unexpended Fee will be used to fund facilities necessary to provide infrastructure, as identified in the Transit Area Development Impact Fee Report, dated February 2014, prepared by Economic and Planning Systems, Inc. and the City Capital Improvement Program 2018-2023 Final Report. The Fee funds basic public infrastructure needed to serve the new development in the Transit Area Specific Plan area and to maintain or improve levels of service for public facilities.
B)Relationship between the fee and the purpose for which it is charged. There exists a reasonable relationship between the Unexpended Fee described above and the purpose for which it was charged as the improvements will mitigate the infrastructure needs and use caused by both the residential and commercial development and ensure increased TASP area impacts be minimized by implementing needed TASP infrastructure improvements as set forth in the Transit Area Development Impact Fee Report dated February 2014.
C) Sources of funding anticipated to complete financing of incomplete improvements.
Based on the Transit Area Development Impact Fee Update dated February 2014, the current estimated total cost of infrastructure is approximately $249,611,290. Anticipated funding will come from developers who have been entitled and will pay at the building permit issuance milestone.
D)Approximate dates on which the funding will be deposited. The date on which future TASP fees will be collected from developers is unknown.

The Fee funds basic public infrastructure needed to serve new development in the Gateway – Main Street Specific Plan (GSP) area, which includes extending the storm drain system to underserved areas of proposed development, and capital improvement projects downstream of proposed development, which are identified in the 2021 Storm Drain Master Plan (SDMP).
(B)Relationship between the fee and the purpose for which it is charged. There exists a reasonable relationship between the Unexpended Fee described above and the purpose for which it was charged as new development will increase the impervious percentage of a project site and generate additional runoff, and development in the GSP area will require the addition of storm drain infrastructure set forth in Storm Drainage Improvement Impact Fee Report dated June 2023.
(C)Sources of funding anticipated to complete financing of incomplete improvements.
Based on the Storm Drainage Improvement Impact Fee Report dated June 2023, the current estimated total cost of infrastructure is approximately $116,070,871. Anticipated funding will come from developers who have been entitled and will pay at the building permit issuance milestone.
(D)Approximate dates on which the funding will be deposited. The City will perform an assessment on Main Street Flood Study Project to identify any new storm drain improvements needed in this area. The City plans to appropriate the Unexpended Fee to this Project in the upcoming fiscal year 2026-2027 based on the result of the assessment.

AGENDA REPORT
(AR)
Item Title: Introduce an Ordinance to Make Corrections, Clarifications and Minor Updates and Modifications to the Milpitas Municipal Code (Staff Contact: Matt Cano, Assistant City Manager, 408-586-3012)
Category: Consent Calendar-Leadership and Support Services Meeting Date: 12/10/2024
Recommendation: Following the City Attorney’s reading of the title, move to waive the first reading beyond the title and introduce Ordinance No. 315 amending various sections of the Milpitas Municipal Code to make corrections, clarifications, minor updates and modifications.
BACKGROUND:
The Milpitas Municipal Code (Muni Code) codifies the ordinances of the City of Milpitas. The Muni Code is organized by Titles, Chapters and Sections.
Title: A title is a broad category under which ordinances on a related subject are compiled. This code contains a total of 12 titles. For example, the first title is Title I, Administration, which contains ordinances about the code adoption process, definitions, general penalties, etc Chapter: Chapters deal with more specific subjects, and are often derived from one ordinance. All of the chapters on a related subject are grouped in one title. The chapters are numbered so that new chapters which should logically be placed near certain existing chapters can be added at a later time without renumbering existing material.
Section: Each section of the code contains substantive ordinance material The Muni Code was originally published in 1987 and in order to stay current, needs to be updated on a periodic basis. Staff is proposing several updates to the Muni Code that provide corrections and clarifications and make minor updates and modifications for purposes of general code clean-up On December 12, 2023 the Mayor and City Council approved the combining of the Engineering and Public Works Departments. On June 4, 2024, as part of the approval of the Fiscal Year 2024-2025 Budget, the Mayor and City Council approved additional departmental structure changes such as: Elimination of the Building Safety & Housing Department, shifting the Housing and Building Safety teams into the City Manager’s Office and shifting Code Enforcement to the Planning Department. As a result of these changes, certain sections of the City of Milpitas Municipal Code must be updated.
ANALYSIS:
The following changes have been made to the City of Milpitas Municipal Code as a result of organizational changes approved by the City Council during Fiscal Year 2023-2024:
•Change the name “Building Safety and Housing Department” to “Office of Building Safety” •Replaced references to the department overseeing code enforcement to “Planning Department” •Replaced references to the “Director of Building Safety and Housing” to “City Manager” •Replaced “Engineering Department” with “Public Works Department” •Replaced “Director of Engineering and Public Works” with “Director of Public Works •Included language clarifying that the Offices of the City Clerk, Communications, Building Safety, Housing and Economic Development are part of the City Manager’s Office.
Additionally, the following items are being changed as they were not cleaned up from prior year organizational changes:
- Changed references to “Director of Planning and Engineering” to either “Director of Planning” or “Director of Public Works” depending on which of these two departments carries the responsibility as the “Department of Planning and Engineering” no longer exists. - Changing references to “Community Development Department”, “Planning and Neighborhood Services Department” and “Planning and Engineering Department” as they no longer exist. - Changed all references to “Chief Building Official” to “Building Official” as the Chief Building Official classification no longer exists.
- Added language to clarify that if a developer pays fees in-lieu of installing public improvements that the amount of payment required will be equivalent to the City’s estimated costs to construct the improvements.
A summary list of the changes being made as a result of the above actions is included as Attachment (a).
FISCAL IMPACT:
None

XI-10-11.07 Milpitas Commercial Specific Plan Area
A. Introduction.
1. Specific Plan Area. The Milpitas Commercial Specific Plan area is an approximately 14.56 acre- site located in the City of Milpitas, in Santa Clara County, California on the northernmost southeast corner of North McCarthy Boulevard and Ranch Drive (Figures 1 and 2). Regional access to the Specific Plan area is provided from Interstate 880 (I-880) and State Route 237 (SR-237). The Specific Plan area is bounded by Ranch Drive and the McCarthy Center office complex to the north; stores and parking areas in the McCarthy Ranch Marketplace to the south; Ranch Drive and I-880 to the east; and North McCarthy Boulevard and undeveloped land to the west. The undeveloped land to the west of the Specific Plan area is designated for Industrial Park uses by the City of Milpitas General Plan and is entitled for an office park campus (The Campus at McCarthy Ranch). Coyote Creek is located west of the undeveloped land with Coyote Creek Trail, a Class I bicycle/pedestrian trail, paralleling the east side of the creek. Single- family residences are located east of I-880 and are protected by a sound wall along the I-880 frontage.
2. Purpose of the Specific Plan. A specific plan is a combination policy statement and implementation tool that can be used to address the unique needs of a particular area of a city or county.
As a result, emphasis is on concrete standards and development criteria for use in the submission and review of subsequent development plans and permits. The California Government Code permits the use of specific plans to regulate site development, including permitted uses such as density, building size, and placement. Specific plans also govern the landscaping and roadways, as well as the provision of infrastructure and utilities. Since the development guidelines established in a specific plan focus on the
unique needs of a specific area, specific plans allow for greater flexibility than is possible with conventional zoning.
The purpose of the Milpitas Commercial Specific Plan is to assist in the development of the site in a manner that will benefit local shoppers, the general public, and the City of Milpitas. The Specific Plan accomplishes these purposes by providing for the efficient use of land, ensuring compatibility between existing and proposed land uses, and establishing environmental and development standards and procedures to be met in development of the Specific Plan area. The customized development regulations contained in the Specific Plan address the unique characteristics of the site and surrounding properties, as well as the needs of the commercial land uses proposed for the site. These efforts are intended to foster greater economic development and design opportunities than could be achieved through the use of conventional zoning and development standards.

City shall promptly notify the developer of any claim, action or proceeding. City shall further cooperate fully in the defense of the action. Should the City fail to either promptly notify or cooperate fully, the developer shall not thereafter be responsible to indemnify, defend, protect, or hold harmless the city, any agency, or instrumentality thereof, or any of its officers, officials, employees, or agents.
B. Existing Setting.
1. Site Conditions And Existing Land Uses.
a. Historical and Existing Land Uses.
i. Existing Land Use. The Specific Plan area is currently developed with a 131,725-square-foot retail store and associated parking.
ii. Existing On-Site General Plan Land Use and Zoning. The Specific Plan area is currently designated General Commercial by the City of Milpitas General Plan. The General Commercial land use designation is intended for a wide range of retail sales and personal and business services accessed primarily by the automobile. It includes commercial uses where shopping is conducted by people walking to several stores and uses of a single-purpose character served from an adjacent parked vehicle.
The Specific Plan area is currently designated General Commercial (C2) by the City of Milpitas Zoning Code. The C2 zoning district is intended to provide for a wide range of retail sales and personal and business services primarily oriented to the automobile customer and is intended to promote stable, attractive commercial development which will afford a pleasant shopping environment. This zone permits retail sales as of right. Grocery stores that are within one thousand (1,000) feet of a residential zone and Liquor Stores (Alcohol Beverage Sales) are conditionally permitted.
The Specific Plan area is also within the Site and Architectural Overlay District (S). The S zone is intended to promote orderly, attractive and harmonious development; recognize environmental limitations on development; stabilize land values and investments; and promote the general welfare by preventing the establishment of uses or erection of structures having qualities that would not meet the intent of the Zoning Code. The General Plan and Zoning designations are illustrated in Figures XI-10-11.07-3 and -4. b. Surrounding Land Uses. Land uses surrounding the Milpitas Commercial Specific Plan area are characterized by office and Research and Development uses to the north, commercial uses to the south, Interstate 880 and residential uses to the east, and undeveloped but entitled land to the west. North of the Specific Plan area is the McCarthy Center office complex, a 68-acre complex with approximately one million square feet of office and Research and Development uses spread among nineteen (19) two-story buildings in a campus setting. To the south is the remainder of a commercial/retail development, McCarthy Ranch Marketplace, which includes Best Buy, Borders and PetSmart, small shops and restaurants, and small, freestanding restaurants such as Black Angus, Macaroni Grill and Applebees. To the east, east of I-880, are single-family residential uses that are protected by a sound wall located along the I-880 frontage. The undeveloped land to the west is approved for an office park campus (The Campus at McCarthy Ranch) and further west of the undeveloped land is Coyote Creek and Coyote Creek Trail, a Class I bicycle/pedestrian trail, that parallels the east side of the creek. The surrounding land uses are illustrated in Figure 5.
2. Existing Circulation.
a. Regional Circulation. Excellent regional access to the Specific Plan area is provided by I-880 and SR-237.
I-880 is a north-south highway known as the Nimitz Freeway that provides regional access throughout the East Bay. It stretches north to Interstate 980 in Oakland and south to San Jose where it becomes State Route 17. It generally is an eight-lane, divided freeway. In the vicinity of the Specific Plan area, I-880 provides six (6) lanes in each direction, including a High Occupancy Vehicle (HOV) lane in each direction. It accommodates approximately one hundred eighty-one thousand (181,000) vehicles per day.
Access to and from the Specific Plan area is provided at the SR-237/North McCarthy Boulevard interchange.
SR-237 is an east-west regional highway located approximately three-tenths (0.3) miles south of the Specific Plan area that provides access throughout northern Santa Clara County. It connects Mountain
View to the west and Milpitas to the east. It is a major arterial providing connectivity to I-880 and Interstate 680. East of I-880, SR-237 is known as Calaveras Boulevard. SR-237 is a six-lane highway with HOV lanes in both directions. In the vicinity of the Specific Plan, SR-237 accommodates approximately one hundred fifty-eight thousand (158,000) vehicles per day. Access to and from the Specific Plan area is provided at the SR-237/North McCarthy Boulevard interchange. b. Local Circulation. Major roadways in and around the Specific Plan area are Dixon Landing Road, North McCarthy Boulevard, Ranch Drive and Tasman Drive. These roadways are defined as arterials or collectors. Arterials collect and distribute traffic from freeways and expressways to collector streets and vice versa. Collector streets, which constitute most of the roadways in and around the Specific Plan area, serve as connectors between arterial and local streets, providing direct access to the parcel. Major collectors are typically wide streets with four (4) to six (6) lanes of moving traffic. Minor collectors are smaller street with either less than four (4) lanes of moving traffic or less traffic.
Dixon Landing Road is an east-west major collector roadway connecting North McCarthy Boulevard to the west and North Milpitas Boulevard to the east. It is a major collector East of North Milpitas Boulevard where it becomes Dixon Road. It is a four-lane divided roadway, except for between Milmont Drive and Village Parkway, where it is a four-lane undivided roadway with a center two-way left-turn lane. The posted speed limit along Dixon Landing Road is forty (40) miles per hour (mph).
North McCarthy Boulevard is a major north-south collector roadway connecting Dixon Landing Road to the north and Montague Expressway to the south. South of the Montague Expressway it becomes O'Toole Avenue. It is a four-lane divided roadway primarily serving adjacent commercial uses north of SR-237 and office parks south of SR-237. The posted speed limit along North McCarthy Boulevard is thirty-five (35) mph north of Technology Drive and forty (40) mph south of Technology Drive.
Ranch Drive is an east-west minor collector roadway that intersects North McCarthy Boulevard at two (2) locations. Ranch Drive is the main access roadway to retail uses within the McCarthy Ranch Marketplace.
It changes from a four-lane divided roadway, a four-lane undivided roadway, and a two-lane road with a center two-way left-turn lane between its southern and northern intersection with North McCarthy Boulevard. The posted speed limit along Ranch Drive is thirty (30) mph.
Tasman Drive is an east-west arterial roadway stretching from Sunnyvale to the west to I-880 to the east.
East of I-880 it becomes Great Mall Parkway. It is a six-lane divided roadway near the Specific Plan area.
Santa Clara Valley Transportation Authority operates light rail service along Tasman Drive, with tracks located in the center median of the roadway. The posted speed limit along Tasman Drive is forty (40) mph.
c. Public Transit. Santa Clara Valley Transportation Authority (VTA) provides bus and light rail services in Milpitas and throughout Santa Clara County. The Specific Plan area is served by Route 33 and Route 825.
Route 33 passes northbound on North McCarthy Boulevard directly adjacent to the Specific Plan area and loops clockwise around Ranch Drive, where it returns south and provides connections to many locations in Milpitas and San Jose. Route 825 is a shuttle service provided by VTA for connections to the Santa Clara Great America station. The Santa Clara Great America station serves the Altamont Commuter Express (ACE), a weekday commuter rail service between Stockton and San Jose, and the Amtrak Capitol Corridor, a daily intercity rail service between San Jose and the Sacramento Area.
Route 33 operates every thirty (30) minutes and Route 825 operates every seventy-five (75) minutes during the weekday commute peaks. Route 33 provides weekend service from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. every thirty (30) minutes. Route 825 does not provide weekend service, as it is a limited service commuter route.
The nearest light rail station to the Specific Plan area is the I-880 station, located at the intersection of Tasman Drive and Alder Drive, approximately one and one-half (1.5) miles to the south. d. Bicycle Facilities. The Specific Plan area is serviced by a bicycle lane running along North McCarthy Boulevard. The existing retail building provides bicycle racks and any future development shall upgrade and provide bike storage pursuant to Section 11.07(D)(2), Project Access, of this Specific Plan.
3. Existing Physical Conditions.
a. Topography. The Specific Plan area is located in the City of Milpitas, which is within the relatively flat floor of the Santa Clara Valley. The Santa Clara Valley is a broad, northwesterly trending, alluvial-filled basin between the Santa Cruz Mountains to the south and the Diablo Range to the northeast. The Specific Plan area is bounded by bay-lands to the west and foothills to the east, with urban development located in the plain between the two (2) features. The Mission Hills are the primary backdrop to the Milpitas area. Monument Peak at two thousand five hundred ninety-four (2,594) feet is the highest point in the Mission Hills above Milpitas.
b. Hydrology. The Specific Plan area is located within Coyote Creek watershed. The Coyote Creek watershed encompasses three hundred fifty (350) square miles and drains the Specific Plan area, City of Milpitas, the eastern portion of San Jose and the Coyote Valley.
Coyote Creek is approximately one-quarter (0.25) miles west of the Specific Plan area and spans the length of the Santa Clara Valley, originating at Anderson Reservoir near Morgan Hill and emptying into San Francisco Bay. Downstream of the Specific Plan area, Coyote Creek splits into "New" and "Old" branches. New Coyote Creek is a man-made channel that skirts the south side of the Newby Island Sanitary Landfill, while Old Coyote Creek meanders around the east and north sides of the landfill.
The Specific Plan area has an existing stormwater collection system. Stormwater is collected via inlets located around the Specific Plan area and is then piped and discharged into the City of Milpitas's municipal storm drain system, which outlets into Coyote Creek. Storm drain lines are located within Ranch Drive and North McCarthy Boulevard.
The Specific Plan area is located within the Santa Clara Valley subbasin, which extends from Coyote Narrows at Metcalf Road in south San Jose to Santa Clara County's northern boundary. The subbasin is approximately twenty-two (22) miles long and fifteen (15) miles wide, with a surface area of two hundred twenty-five (225) square miles.
c. Soils. The Specific Plan area is a developed, urban area. The Specific Plan area was graded and engineered in the early 1990s with the development of the existing retail building. The soils were conditioned to support urban development and are considered stable soils and geologic units. The deep- surface soils beneath the Specific Plan area consist of approximately three hundred (300) feet of alluvium, which is regarded as a very stable geologic unit. The Quaternary age old alluvium consists of inter- layered, poorly sorted gravel, sand, silt and clay.
d. Seismicity. The Specific Plan area is located in an area with eight (8) active faults including the Hayward, Calaveras, San Andreas, San Gregorio-Seal Cove-Hosgri, Concord, Greenville, Las Positas, and Verona faults. The closest fault to the Specific Plan area is the Hayward fault, which is located approximately two and one-half (2.5) miles northeast. The Specific Plan area is also located in a moderate liquefaction susceptibility zone pursuant to the Liquefaction Susceptibility Map for the San Francisco Bay Area prepared by the United States Geologic Study (USGS) in cooperation with the California Geological Survey and William Lettis & Associates, Inc. The Specific Plan area is not located within an Alquist- Priolo zone and no faults or fault traces are located within the Specific Plan area.
The Specific Plan area may be exposed to moderate to severe ground shaking during an earthquake, particularly one that occurs on either the Hayward or Calaveras fault. To reduce the risk associated with
ground shaking, development within the Specific Plan area will be required to demonstrate that structural design measures identified in a seismic hazards technical study prepared prior to construction and in accordance with the requirements of the Seismic Hazards Mapping Act have been incorporated into any design and/or building plans.
The Specific Plan area is located within a liquefaction hazard zone. To reduce the risk associated with liquefaction, development within the Specific Plan area will be required to demonstrate that abatement measures identified in a design-level geotechnical investigation prepared prior to construction have been incorporated into any design and/or building plans. Development will also be required to comply with all state and local seismic safety requirements including the California Building Standards Code and Milpitas Municipal Code, Title II.
The Specific Plan area is flat and is not located in an area identified as being susceptible to landslides. e. Hazardous Materials. The Specific Plan area is a developed, active commercial area. It appears on four (4) environmental databases listing parcels with known or potentially hazardous conditions.
The first database is the Hazardous Waste Information System database which lists sites recorded on hazardous wastes manifests. This listing only indicates that hazardous materials were transported to or from the Specific Plan area; it does not indicate that contamination occurred. The second database is the Statewide Environmental Evaluation and Planning System database which lists sites with registered underground storage tanks (USTs). This database is no longer updated. The Specific Plan area did contain a 1,000 gallon waste oil underground storage tank. A Phase I Environmental Site Assessment ("Phase I") prepared by Tait Environmental Services, dated April 25, 2009, concluded that no UST exists in the Specific Plan area today based on the site reconnaissance. The Phase I found no evidence or record of when or how the UST was removed. The third database is the California Hazardous Material Incident Report System which records reported hazardous material incidents or accidental releases or spills. An alleged incident of raw sewage bubbling up on the parking lot in the Specific Plan area was reported in 1997 by a caller to the Santa Clara County Health Department. No confirmation of this release exists. The final database is the Emergency Response Notification System which reports the release of oil and hazardous substances. No details about the listing exist, so it is unclear why the Specific Plan area is listed on this database.
Fluorescent lighting fixtures within the existing building within the Specific Plan area may contain polychlorinated biphenyls and mercury. The existing refrigeration units and rooftop HVAC units may also contain chlorofluorocarbons. The existing automobile service area utilizes several above-ground storage tanks (AST) that store petroleum hydrocarbons and a hazardous waste storage area. The existing building also has a hazardous waste storage area inside for spent absorbent material used to soak up spills of hazardous retail products and store maintenance products.
The Specific Plan area is located one and one-tenth (1.1) miles east of the San Jose/Santa Clara Water Pollution Control Plant which uses nineteen (19) percent aqueous ammonia, a hazardous material. Worst- case offsite release for aqueous ammonia is one-one hundredth (0.01) mile from the release point or only forty-five (45) feet from the plant's fence line. The Calpine Los Esteros Critical Energy Facility, a 180- megawatt natural gas power plant served by two (2) PG&E natural gas pipelines, is located six-tenths (0.6) miles southwest of the Specific Plan area. The plant began operation in 2003. Because of the localized nature of any releases of aqueous ammonia, and the recent age and clean-burning attributes of natural gas, the Specific Plan area is not susceptible to exposure of hazardous materials from surrounding land uses.
f. Biological Resources. Most of the Specific Plan area is covered with impervious surfaces. Mature ornamental trees and landscaping are located throughout the parking lot and along frontages with Ranch Drive and North McCarthy Boulevard. Horticultural low growing shrubs, tree rows and single planter trees are located in the parking areas and along the periphery of the existing building. The ornamental
trees include species up to approximately twenty (20) feet in height and non-native shrubs of five (5) feet or less in height. There are no special-status plants or wildlife species with potential to occur within the Specific Plan area.
Based on the developed and disturbed condition of the Specific Plan area, only commonly observed wildlife species would be expected to occur in the area such as house sparrows, starlings, crows, opossums and small squirrels. Based on the lack of trees, shrubs, and aquatic resources, there is no indication of a wildlife community in the area. The area also does not contain features suitable for use as a wildlife movement corridor (e.g., open drainages). The Specific Plan area does support ornamental trees and shrubs trees that could potentially provide nesting habitat for small migratory songbirds. No open channels, natural drainage features, wetlands or waters of state or the United States exist within the Specific Plan area.
g. Climate. Temperatures in the Specific Plan area range from an average monthly high of 81.9 degrees Fahrenheit (ºF) in July to an average monthly low of 40.8ºF in January. Average annual rainfall is
14.70 inches.
4. Existing Utilities.
a. Water. The Specific Plan area will receive water service from the City of Milpitas, which provides potable water supply and distribution to an approximately fifteen (15) square mile service area.
Milpitas's water distribution systems includes two hundred three (203) miles of water main, one thousand seven hundred fifty-five (1,755) fire hydrants, five (5) water tanks totaling 15.64 million gallons of capacity, five (5) pump stations, sixteen (16) pressure regulator valves, and one (1) well. Milpitas purchases treated water from the San Francisco Public Utilities Commission and the Santa Clara Valley Water District, and receives recycled water from the San Jose/Santa Clara Water Pollution Control Plant.
The City also maintains an emergency well system. The City's emergency well meets all drinking water standards and is permitted for unlimited use. A second emergency well is under design.
The San Francisco Public Utilities Commission receives approximately eighty-five percent (85%) of its water from the Hetch Hetchy Reservoir with the remaining fifteen (15%) percent coming from Alameda and Peninsula watershed. The Santa Clara Valley Water District receives its water from local groundwater aquifers, the Sierra Nevada Mountains via pumping stations in the Sacramento-San Joaquin River Delta, and a small amount from local surface water and recycled water. The annual yield from the Santa Clara Valley Water District is four hundred forty thousand eight hundred (440,800) acre-feet during a year during average weather conditions.
In 2010, the estimated water demand for Milpitas based on the City's Urban Water Management Plan was
14.06 million gallons per day. By 2030, the projected demand would be 17.10 million gallons per day with the estimated supply also at 17.10 million gallons per day. Based on these projections, demand would exceed supply under both single dry year and multiple dry year scenarios. The Urban Water Management Plan identifies various water shortage contingency strategies including voluntary and mandatory rationing and supplemental groundwater pumping. Development in the Specific Plan area will be required to install indoor water conservation measures such as low-flow or ultra-low-flow toilets and urinals, and sensor-activated faucets in restrooms prior to final certificate of occupancy issuance. b. Wastewater. The San Jose/Santa Clara Water Pollution Control Plant provides wastewater treatment and disposal services to a three hundred (300) square-mile service area encompassing the cities of San Jose, Santa Clara, Milpitas, Campbell, Cupertino, Los Gatos, Saratoga, and Monte Sereno. The plant, which is located in San Jose, west of Milpitas, has capacity to treat 167 million gallons of wastewater per day. The plant receives 116.6 million gallons per day, on average.
The City of Milpitas collects wastewater from approximately six thousand (6,000) acres within the City planning area, including the Specific Plan area. Effluent is transmitted though 172.5 miles of sewer main to the San Jose/Santa Clara Water Pollution Control Plant. Wastewater treatment services are governed by
an agreement between the cities of San Jose and Santa Clara (as joint owners of the plant) and the City of Milpitas. The City of Milpitas pays a capital share in proportion to the City's capacity rights and the total plant capacity. In 2009, the City of Milpitas increased its capacity allocation from 13.5 million gallons per day to 14.25 million gallons per day. Any development in the Specific Plan area will be required to pay a Treatment Plant Fee.
Existing development in the Specific Plan area is served by a lateral tie into a wastewater trunk line located in North McCarthy Boulevard from SR-237 to the Milpitas Pump Station located at Dixon Landing Road. The trunk line ranges in diameter from thirty-six (36) to forty-eight (48) inches. c. Water Quality. The existing drainage within the Specific Plan area is discussed above in Section XI-10-11.07(B)(3)(b), Hydrology.
Coyote Creek and South San Francisco Bay are listed on the United State Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) 303(d) list of impaired water bodies. During construction, all work would be required to meet the National Pollution Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) requirements for stormwater quality.
The contractor would also be required to implement Best Management Practices (BMPs) for erosion control. These requirements will be implemented through the preparation and approval of a Storm Water Pollution Prevention Plan (SWPPP). The SWPPP would ensure that construction would not violate any water quality standards.
During operations, all activities must comply with a City-approved stormwater management plan.
Compliance with the stormwater management plan would ensure that operational activities within the Specific Plan area would not violate any water quality standards. d. Stormwater. The City of Milpitas collects and disposes its stormwater via a storm drainage network consisting of catch basins, conveyance piping, pump stations, and outfalls to creeks. Storm drainage infrastructure within the City includes one hundred twenty-three (123) miles of piping, three thousand four hundred ninety (3,490) catch basins, approximately four and one-half (4.5) miles of drainage ditches and creeks, and thirteen (13) stormwater pump stations. The Santa Clara Valley Water District has jurisdiction over creeks, including Coyote Creek.
The Specific Plan area is served by existing storm drainage infrastructure (inlets and piping) that discharges runoff into the City's municipal storm drain system. The City's storm drain system includes lines located within Ranch Drive and North McCarthy Boulevard. The storm drain main within North McCarthy Boulevard ranges from twenty-four (24) to forty-eight (48) inches in diameter and discharges stormwater into Coyote Creek northwest of the Specific Plan area. e. Solid Waste Disposal. Solid waste collection and recycling services are provided by Republic Services under contract with the City of Milpitas Public Works department. Solid waste from the City of Milpitas is landfilled at the Newby Island Landfill on Dixon Landing Road in San Jose, which has approximately 10.7 million cubic yards of remaining capacity. The Newby Island Landfill operator has applied to the City of San Jose to increase disposal capacity by 15 million cubic yards. Newby Island Landfill is permitted to accept up to four thousand (4,000) tons of Municipal Solid Waste (MSW) per day.
The anticipated closure date of the Newby Island Landfill is 2025. The annual waste diversion rate in the City of Milpitas is steadily increasing and was sixty (60) percent in 2006.
Development on site shall be required to retain a qualified contractor to perform construction and demolition debris recycling and developer must document to the satisfaction of the City of Milpitas, that construction and demolition debris was recycled. Development on the Specific Plan area will be required to provide on-site recycling facilities prior to obtaining certificate of occupancy permits. f. Natural Gas. Natural gas service to the Specific Plan area will provided by Pacific Gas and Electric Company (PG&E).
g. Electricity. Electricity service to the Specific Plan area will be provided by PG&E.
h. Telephone. Telephone service to the Specific Plan area will be provided by American Telephone & Telegraph (AT&T).
C. Land Use Plan. Any and all approvals, decisions, reviews or actions required under this section and required for development within the Milpitas Commercial Specific Plan area shall be ministerial, final, and not subject to appeal, and shall be processed pursuant to Section 11.07(E), Administration, of this Specific Plan, provided the proposed development is consistent with the conceptual site plan, elevations, colors and materials, and landscaping as depicted in Figures XI-10-11.07-6 through -9, of this Specific Plan and the conditions and requirements set forth in Figure XI-10-11.07-10, of this Specific Plan.
Development that is not consistent with the development standards set forth in the Milpitas Commercial Specific Plan and Figures XI-10-11.07-6 through -9, of this Specific Plan, and the conditions and requirements set forth in Figure XI-10-11.07-10, of this Specific Plan shall either require a Substantial Conformance Determination, as discussed below, or shall be processed under the procedures set forth for development in the General Commercial (C2) zone as set forth in the City of Milpitas Zoning Code.
Development that has not commenced, which is defined as building permit issuance or completion of a foundation, within eighteen (18) months of approval of the Milpitas Specific Plan, shall be processed under the procedures set forth for development in the C2 zone as set forth in the City of Milpitas Zoning Code. The development standards shall be the same as those specified herein, but the process shall be consistent with the zoning code.
1. Land Use Concept. The overall land use concept for the Milpitas Commercial Specific Plan is to revitalize, update and expand an existing retail facility to take advantage of the site's excellent regional access and visibility. It will improve the aesthetic and commercial landscape and provide for development of a full-service retail use to complement existing uses in the surrounding area. The land use concept will incorporate design elements that complement and are compatible with the architectural theme of the existing commercial landscape by creating an attractive and productive blend of retail uses.

Design within the Milpitas Commercial Specific Plan shall meld function and form, not one to the exclusion of the other, and promote the harmonious appearance of structures in other commercial areas adjacent to the Specific Plan area, including the McCarthy Ranch Marketplace which is a commercial/retail development south of the Specific Plan area.
To facilitate design integrity between the uses within the Milpitas Commercial Specific Plan and other commercial uses surrounding the Specific Plan area, the following standards shall be adhered to:
i. Design shall reflect the "California ranch" design theme of the McCarthy Ranch Marketplace, including "salt box" style metal roofs and canopies, faux wood siding, corrugated metal cladding, and the use of colors such as Colonnade Gray, Cool Old Zinc Gray and Countryland Red. Figures XI-10-11.07-7 and -8 included in this Specific Plan comply with these requirements. ii. The Planning Director shall review and approve all final building plans and elevations to ensure substantial conformance with Figures XI-10-11.07-6, -7 and -8, of this Specific Plan. Substantial conformance shall be determined as set forth in Section XI-10-11.07(E), Administration, of this Specific Plan.
