1. Planned Community Permit. The Planned Community Permit to construct a new four- story, 82, 865 square foot office building, a new parking structure with four levels above - grade and two levels below - grade, and minor building modifications to the existing two- story office building to remain on -site is conditionally approved based upon the conditions 1-
Resolution No. 18806
contained in Exhibit A, attached hereto and incorporated herein, and upon the following findings pursuant to Section 36.50.55 of the City Code:
a. The proposed use and development is consistent with the provisions of the East Whisman Precise Plan; or if variations from requirements in the applicable Precise Plan are granted, the proposal clearly demonstrates superior site and building design and is in substantial compliance with the intent of the requirements in the applicable Precise Plan since the project demonstrates compliance with all applicable standards of the Precise Plan, with the following exceptions from the Precise Plan that meet the intent of the development standards, but address the unique conditions of the site, including:
i. Provision of five loading spaces, in lieu of the required eight loading spaces;
ii. Certain standards related to the provision of a publicly accessible multi - use path, including: an approximately 6', two- to -four- story projection of office floor area into the required 10' setback from the new office to the multi - use path; a building setback ranging from 15' to 30' from the property line, where a 30' setback is required; and a landscape buffer of approximately 2' between the multi - use path and garage, in lieu of the required 4' to 8' landscape buffer; and
iii. A 30' separation between the existing and proposed office buildings, in lieu of the required 35' separation, to accommodate the provision of a north -south paseo.
Additionally, in accordance with the Precise Plan and the Los Altos School District TDR Program, the project includes the following:
iv. Contribution of a community benefit in the amount of $ 27. 75 per nonresidential bonus square foot above the baseline of 0.4 FAR, excluding 28,000 square feet of TDRs; and
v. Participation in the LASD TDR Program with the purchase of 28, 000 square feet from the future school site at 2535 California Street, 506 Showers Drive, and 350 Showers Drive to the project site.
With incorporation of these exceptions and incorporation of the TDR square footage, the project will be able to successfully provide a multi - use path and north - south paseo consistent with the Precise Plan' s objectives, retain an existing office building on -site, and maximize preservation of existing tree canopy, therefore, resulting in superior site and building design than would be possible with full adherence to the Precise Plan Standards; b. The proposed use and development is consistent with the High - Intensity Office Land Use Designation of the General Plan as the existing ( to remain) and proposed office 2-
Resolution No. 18806
buildings are consistent with the allowed uses of the land use designation and the proposed FAR of 0.85 complies with the maximum FARallowed by the General Plan; c. The proposed use and development will not be detrimental to the public interest, health, safety, convenience, or welfare because the project will comply with all applicable health and safety codes, incorporates TDR square footage supporting creation of a new public school, and addresses all applicable Precise Plan standards intended to achieve harmonious development within the plan area, such as well- connected public pathways and publicly accessible open spaces;
d. The proposed use and development promotes a well -designed development that is harmonious with existing and planned development in the surrounding area because the project will not add any new vehicular access points, enhances the pedestrian and bicycle network through the East Whisman Precise Plan area by providing high - quality, publicly accessible pedestrian and bicycle connections to surrounding development, implements all required public frontage improvements along with additional publicly accessible on -site active spaces and paths, and complies with applicable development standards for the project site, excluding permitted exceptions to FAR and multi - use path standards; and e. The approval of the Planned Community Permit complies with the California Environmental Quality Act ( CEQA) as an Initial Study of Environmental Significance was prepared per Sections 15162 and 15183 of the CEQAGuidelines. The environmental review for the project found that, with implementation of the Precise Plan standards and guidelines, standard City Conditions of Approval, State regulations, and certain mitigation measures identified in the East Whisman Precise Plan Final Environmental Impact Report ( Precise Plan FEIR) and the 2030 General Plan and Greenhouse Gas Reduction Program Final Environmental Impact Report General Plan FEIR), the proposed development would not result in any new or substantially more severe environmental impacts beyond those previously evaluated and disclosed in the FEIRs. The analysis determined all of the environmental impacts associated with the project have been avoided or reduced to a less - than - significant level through the incorporation of mitigation measures identified in the Precise Plan FEIRand including those mitigation measures identified in the General Plan FEIR.
2. Development Review Permit. The Development Review Permit to construct a new four- story, 82,865 square foot office building, a new parking structure with four levels above -grade and two levels below -grade, minor building modifications to the existing two- story office building to remain on -site is conditionally approved based upon the conditions contained in Exhibit A, attached hereto and incorporated herein, and upon the following findings pursuant to Section 36.44.70 of the City Code:
a. The project complies with the general design considerations as described by the purpose and intent of Chapter 36 ( Zoning) of the City Code, the General Plan, and any City -adopted design guidelines since the project promotes well - integrated development, including dedication of a publicly accessible multi - use path and privately owned, publicly 3-
Resolution No. 18806
accessible open space with connections throughout the site, contributes to the revitalization and connectivity of the East Whisman Precise Plan area, incorporates increased tree canopy coverage at maturity), and includes significant ground - level, publicly - accessible active spaces as well as other design elements meeting Precise Plan objectives for well - designed buildings; b. The architectural design of structures, including colors, materials, and design elements ( i.e., awnings, exterior lighting, screening of equipment, signs, etc.) is compatible with surrounding development because the project proposes a new office building with a unique curvilinear building form, a parking garage which is appropriately located toward the rear of the site and constructed of high -quality materials. Additionally, there are improvements to the existing office building proposed to create cohesion across the buildings on the site, along with the massing of the new and existing buildings being appropriate and conducive to a pleasant pedestrian experience. Overall, the buildings and site will feature high - quality materials and furnishings that are complementary to surrounding office developments; c. The location and configuration of structures, parking, landscaping, and access are appropriately integrated and compatible with surrounding development, including public streets and sidewalks and other public property, as the project will provide an improved sidewalk along the North Bernardo Avenue frontage, a multi - use path along the Central Expressway frontage, and a north - south publicly accessible paseo connection through the site, both featuring special paving, robust landscaping, and high -quality furnishings and amenities. The parking is primarily located within a parking structure that is appropriately located toward the rear of the site;
d. The general landscape design ensures visual relief, complements structures, provides an attractive environment, and is consistent with any adopted landscape program for the general area by preserving substantial existing tree canopy, providing a robust, varied plant palette plan of 85% California native species which will yield a net increase in tree canopy coverage ( at full maturity), providing enhanced landscaping along the multi - use path and other publicly accessible areas of the site, and complying with City' s Water Conservation in Landscaping Regulations;
e. The design and layout of the proposed project will result in well - designed vehicular and pedestrian access, circulation, and parking by providing appropriate loading and car -share parking facilities, maintaining the existing number of driveway entries to the site, and creating well -marked, pleasant pedestrian and bicycle connections throughout the site; and f. The approval of the Development Review Permit complies with the California Environmental Quality Act ( CEQA) as an Initial Study of Environmental Significance was prepared per Sections 15162, and 15183 of the CEQAGuidelines. The environmental review for the project found that, with implementation of the Precise Plan standards and guidelines, standard City Conditions of Approval, State regulations, and certain mitigation measures identified in the Precise Plan FEIR, the proposed development would not result in any new or substantially more severe environmental impacts beyond those previously evaluated and disclosed in the FEIR. The 4-
Resolution No. 18806
analysis determined all of the environmental impacts associated with the project have been avoided or reduced to a less - than - significant level through the incorporation of mitigation measures identified in the Precise Plan EIR and including those mitigation measures identified in the General Plan FEIR.
3. Heritage Tree Removal Permit. The Heritage Tree Removal Permit to remove 61 Heritage trees is conditionally approved based on the conditions contained in Exhibit A, reviewed by the City arborist with site visits conducted on April 20, 2022, September 9, 2022, and January 19, 2023, and the following findings made pursuant to Section 32. 35 of the City Code:
a. It is necessary to remove the trees due to the condition of the trees with respect to age of the trees relative to the life span of that particular species, disease, infestation, general health, damage, public nuisance, danger of falling, proximity to existing or proposed structures, and interference with utility services because Tree Nos. 91, 92, 100, 101, 106 and 109 ( Shame) ash and Raywood ash) are in poor, declining condition, and the City arborist confirmed that no further mitigations can be applied to improve the condition of the trees; and the remaining Heritage trees proposed to be removed are located within the footprint of the proposed building and/ or underground garage, or within the footprint of publicly accessible improvements, including a multi - use path along the southern property line, which is provided by the project in compliance with the East Whisman Precise Plan;
b. It is necessary to remove the trees in order to construct the improvements and/ or allow reasonable and conforming use of the property when compared to other similarly situated properties because the project will construct an underground garage in order to provide reasonable, compliant parking to serve the new office development while minimizing surface - level parking. The site contains 28 Heritage trees within the footprint of the proposed garage or office building footprints, both of which comply with applicable development standards and have been designed to maximize tree preservation where possible. Additionally, it is necessary to remove 27 Heritage trees located within the footprint of the multi - use path along the southern property line. The East Whisman Precise Plan requires the project to provide a publicly accessible multi - use path as part of the East Whisman Complete Streets Network, which aims to accommodate bicyclists, pedestrians, transit riders, emergency vehicles, and drivers while contributing to providing informal places for social interaction gathering and connectivity. The multi - use path proposed by the project is consistent with the location identified in the Precise Plan and designed to achieve the intent of the Precise Plan while maximizing preservation of Heritage trees where feasible; and
c. The approval of the Heritage Tree Removal Permit complies with the California Environmental Quality Act ( CEQA) as an Initial Study of Environmental Significance was prepared per Sections 15162, and 15183 of the CEQAGuidelines. The environmental review for the project found that, with implementation of the Precise Plan standards and guidelines, standard City Conditions of Approval, State regulations, and certain mitigation measures identified in the Precise Plan FEIR, the proposed development would not result in any new or substantially more severe environmental impacts beyond those previously evaluated and disclosed in the EIR. The 5-
Resolution No. 18806
analysis determined all of the environmental impacts associated with the project have been avoided or reduced to a less - than - significant level through the incorporation of mitigation measures identified in the Precise Plan FEIR and including those mitigation measures identified in the General Plan FEIR; and be it
FURTHER RESOLVED: that the Planned Community Permit, Development Review Permit, and Heritage Tree Removal Permit for said project are hereby granted subject to the applicant' s fulfillment of all the conditions of approval, which are attached hereto as Exhibit A and incorporated herein by reference.

Refine the site and landscape design at the intersection of the Central Expressway multi - use trail and north/ south paseo to optimize wayfinding, promote ease of access to bicycle amenities ( e.g., fix- it/ water stations, etc.), and orient seating and landscaping to promote gathering around this node and adjacent secondary entries to/ from the office buildings without blocking circulation.
BW/ 6/ CDD
840- 03- 22- 23COA Page 3 of 32
Resolution No. 18806
c. Further refine the design of the proposed ( new) office building to:
1. Create a more purposeful main entry canopy design ( north elevation in particular) to better integrate the canopy with the rest of the building architecture, such as by modifying the canopy so it appears to peel off of the glass facade or disengage it from the glass curtainwall so the canopy floats below the upper floor glass facade.
2. Continue to amplify the design of the main ( north and south elevation) entries by revising the proposed accent material( s) to better frame the building entry doors. Employ a warm, more natural - appearing accent material( s) e.g., Prodema or similar) in lieu of the proposed Geolam specification. Incorporate more strategically placed planters, provide other pedestrian amenities consistent with each main entry location, etc.
3. Continue to deemphasize the stair towers by continuing the glass parapet in front of the stair towers in a cohesive plane rather than terminating the parapet at each side of the stair tower.
4. Refine the east and west elevations to better integrate the glass curtainwall that wraps the corner from the long facades and the metal framed elements on the shorter end facades. The Development Review Committee ( DRC) specifically recommended studying either providing an edge frame on both sides of the metal feature with appropriate offset/ reveal to detach it from the glass curtain wall or removing the metal frame. If a metal frame is retained, the proportions should be adjusted to better scale to metal frame/ cap elements on other facades. d. Refine the design of the existing office building ( to remain on -site) to:
1. Revise the main ( north and south facade) entries to provide a one- story accent incorporating warm, natural materials ( consistent with/ complementing the accent materials to be used at main entries to the new office building), strategically placed planters and benches, accent lighting, etc.
2. Simplify the proposed improvements by retaining the existing angled building columns and removing the square metal column - cladding material from the proposal.
3. Finalize the proposed color scheme to identify all proposed stucco wall colors and accent materials at building entries.
e. Simplify the garage facade design to use a less -complex glazing design around the garage entry ( i.e., update the material palette to include one primary material with minimal accents), reduce the visual impact of the glassy corner volumes to allow the horizontal design language to read through more strongly, and update the mesh ( flex screen) graphic to provide creative imagery to complement the office building and landscape design but avoid creating a fake forest.
22. PRIVATELY OWNED, PUBLICLY ACCESSIBLE (POPA) OPEN SPACE: This project includes nonresidential privately owned, publicly accessible open space consistent with the East Whisman Precise Plan, shown on Sheet A- 11a of the approved plans. The POPA open space is for purposes of connectivity and public enjoyment and includes improvements and/ or other facilities which shall be publicly accessible pedestrian sidewalks, walkways, plazas, recreation area, and bicycle improvements. The applicant shall have the right to establish and enforce reasonable rules and regulations for the use of the open space but shall not restrict access with fencing or other design/ operational barriers.
23. EXTERIOR MATERIALS: High -quality materials and finishes shall be used throughout the project and shall remain in compliance with the materials identified in the approved plans, except as modified by the conditions of approval herein. Details regarding all color and architectural details shall be provided in the building permit plan submittal and shall be subject to review and approval by the Zoning Administrator prior to the issuance of building permits.
24. SPECIAL PAVING MATERIALS: The color, material, design, and product specifications for the special paving materials used on - site shall be submitted with the building permit drawings. Final paving design details shall be subject to review and approval by the Zoning Administrator prior to the issuance of building permits.

Resolution No. 18806
25. WINDOWS: Manufacturer type, design, material, and installation details for all windows within the project shall be specified for each unit in the building permit drawings for review and approval by the Zoning Administrator prior to the issuance of building permits.
26. BIRD -SAFE DESIGN: To reduce bird strikes, building permit plans must include design elements in accordance with the East Whisman Precise Plan and the following project design features:
a. Facade Treatments: No more than 10% of the surface area of a building' s total exterior facade shall have untreated glazing between the ground and 60' above ground. Examples of bird -friendly glazing treatments include opaque glass, covering of clear glass surface with patterns, use of paned glass with fenestration patterns, and use of external screens over nonreflective glass.
b. Occupancy Sensors: For nonresidential development, occupancy sensors or other switch - control devices shall be installed on nonemergency lights. These lights should be programmed to shut off during nonwork hours and between 10:00 p.m. and sunrise.
c. Funneling of Flight Paths: New construction shall avoid funneling flight paths along buildings or trees toward a building facade.
d. Skyways, Walkways, or Glass Walls: New construction and building additions shall avoid building glass skyways or walkways, freestanding glass walls, transparent building corners, or landscaping behind glass ( such as in atriums). New construction and building additions should minimize the use of glass at tops of buildings, especially when incorporating a green roof into the design.
27. GROUND - FLOOR TRANSPARENCY: Storefronts and windows must maintain a minimum 75% transparency along the ground floor of the building( s) at all times. No window tinting/ treatment, permanent/ affixed furniture, or sunshades which permanently block the windows/ storefronts are permitted. Sunshades which maximize transparency while providing UV light screening for building occupants may be permitted, subject to review and approval by the Zoning Administrator.
28. MOCK- UP: The applicant shall set up a large material and color mock- up on -site, prior to building permit issuance and purchase of the finish materials, for final selection and approval by the Zoning Administrator. At a minimum, the mock- up shall include building materials, special paving materials, and paint samples for the existing and proposed building and the garage. Proposed primary and secondary ( accent) paint colors should be painted next to each other on the mock- up for purposes of inspection.
The color( s) shall not be considered approved until after inspection and approval by the Zoning Administrator.
29.

b. Report Requirements: The TDM report shall either: ( 1) state that the project has achieved 13% peak -hour vehicle trip reduction or higher, providing supporting statistics and analysis to establish attainment of the goal; or ( 2) state that the project has not achieved the 13% peak -hour vehicle trip reduction, providing an explanation of how and why the goal has not been reached and a description of additional measures that will be adopted in order to attain the TDM goal required for the project.
c. Penalty for Noncompliance: If, after an initial TDM report shows noncompliance, the second annual report indicates that, in spite of the changes in the TDM program, the a.m. peak hour, p.m. peak hour, or daily vehicle trip cap is still not being met, or if the applicant fails to submit such a TDM report at the times described above, the City may assess a penalty in the maximum amount of One Hundred Thousand Dollars ($ 100, 000) for the first percentage point below the 13% peak -hour vehicle trip reduction and an additional Fifty Thousand Dollars ($ 50,000) for each additional percentage point below the minimum 13% thereafter (" TDM Penalty").
In determining whether the TDM Penalty is appropriate, the City may consider whether the property owner( s) has made a good -faith effort to meet the TDM goals and allow a six ( 6) month " grace period" to implement additional TDM measures to meet the vehicle trip cap. If the project does not achieve the necessary reductions to meet the trip cap after the six ( 6) month grace period, the City may require the property owner( s) to pay a TDM Penalty as shown in the sample table below. Any expenses that are put toward achieving the trip cap can be offset against the TDM Penalty.
The TDM Penalty shall be paid to the MVTMA and used to promote alternatives to single -occupancy vehicle use in the City.

The applicant shall be responsible for the retention of a qualified biologist to conduct a survey of the project site and surrounding 500' for active nests — with particular emphasis on nests of migratory birds — if construction ( including site preparation) will begin during the bird nesting season, from February 1 through August 31. If active nests are observed on either the project site or the surrounding area, the applicant, in coordination with the appropriate City staff, shall establish no - disturbance buffer zones around the nests, with the size to be determined in consultation with the California Department of Fish and Wildlife ( usually 100' for perching birds and 300' for raptors). The no -disturbance buffer will remain in place until the biologist determines the nest is no longer active or the nesting season ends. If construction ceases for seven days or more and then resumes during the nesting season, an additional survey will be necessary to avoid impacts on active bird nests that may be present.
79. VIBRATION BEST MANAGEMENT PRACTICES CONSTRUCTION MEASURES:
Avoid impact pile driving and drill piles instead where possible. Drilled piles cause lower vibration levels where geological conditions permit their use.
Avoid using vibration rollers and tampers near sensitive areas.
In areas where project construction is anticipated to include vibration generating activities, vibration studies shall be conducted to determine the areas of impact and to present appropriate mitigation measures that may include the following:
Identification of sites that would be exposed to project vibration compaction activities and could result in vibration impacts to structures;
Develop a vibration monitoring and contingency plan;
Construction contingency plan; and
Conduct post -survey on structures where either monitoring has indicated high levels or complaints of damage have been made.
