DATE: August 28, 2023
TO: Aki Snelling, City of Mountain View
FROM: Tyler Rogers, Project Manger
Kristy Weis, Principal Project Manager
SUBJECT: Draft Initial Study/Mitigated Negative Declaration for the Rich Avenue Condominiums Project – Responses to Comments Received
The purpose of this memorandum is to provide responses to comments received on the Draft Initial Study/Mitigated Negative Declaration (IS/MND) following its publication on May 24, 2023. The 20- day public review period for the Draft IS/MND co ncluded on June 13, 2023. Three comment letters were received by the City during the public review period for the IS/MND. Responses to the comments are provided below. A copy of the comment letters is provided in Attachment A of this memorandum.
Subsequent to the publication of th e Draft IS/MND, the applicant revised the project to remove the mechanical parking lifts in the proposed parking garage. The text revisions below address this change.
As exemplified below, the comments received, r esponses to comments, and text revisions do not constitute substantial revisi ons pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Section 15073.5, therefore, no recirculation of the IS/MND is required prior to adoption. No revisions to the Draft IS/MND are required.
RESPONSE TO COMMENTS
A. Anil Pannikkat (May 26 and June 2, 2023)
Comment A.1: Comment 1: Thank you. Could you explain why no traffic study was required. In every community meeting which was held. there was a major concern from attendees about the impact on Rich Avenue traffic which has already high traffic during morning and evening hours and no parking at night.
Response A.1: The City of Mountain View Public Works Department determined that based on the trip estimates, project location, and other factors, the project did not meet the criteria to require a Multi‐modal Transportation Analysis (MTA) or Vehicle Miles Traveled (VMT) Analysis.
2 1871 The Alameda, Suite 200 x San José, CA 95126 x Tel: (408) 248-3500 x Fax: (408) 248-9641 x www.davidjpowers.com Comment A.2: The document you pointed me said this below. Where did these numbers come from? 12 trips in the AM & PM peak hour seems very low.
The project proposes 32 residential units, which would result in approximately 145 new daily trips with 12 trips in the AM peak hour and 12 trips in the PM peak hour. 90 Consistent with General Plan Policy LUD 17.2, the project includes Transportation Demand Management strategies such as on-site bicycle parking that promotes an alternative to single-occupancy vehicle trips. The addition of project’s incremental trips would not affect traffic operations on the surrounding roadways and would not be significantly noticeable on pedestrian, bicycle, and transit facilities. Thus, the proposed project would not conflict with any roadway plans, ordinances, or policies. (Less than Significant Impact) Response A.2: The footnote quoted above from page 124 of the Initial Study is a citation from the Institute of Transportation Engineers (ITE) Trip Generation Manual, 11th Edition, published in 2021. The ITE manual is the industry standard for estimating trips of proposed developments. Based on the rates in the ITE manual, 32 residential units would generate approximately 145 daily trips and 12 trips in the AM and PM peak hours (32 units x 4.54 daily trips/unit = 145 daily trips, 32 units x 0.37 AM peak hour trips/unit = 12 trips in the AM peak hour, 32 units x 0.39 PM peak hour trips/unit = 12 trips in the PM peak hour).
Comment A.3: The fact that a traffic planning study was not required was not communicated during the community meetings we had. In fact during the 1st meeting we had almost a year ago, we were sent a traffic plan done during the pandemic. And during the other meetings we were told that we would be sent a traffic study. May I ask why that happened? Also as to the link below could you explain what I am supposed to look at? There are multiple links on the page. I am not the expert on this and I would ask you as the expert to summarize the document.
I see this on the page which seems to indicate that a local study is required. It refers to VMT analysis as opposed to your ITE statement below.
Mountain View VMT and MTA
On June 30, 2020, the Council endorsed a Vehicle ‐Miles‐Traveled (VMT) analysis methodology for development projects that require transportation analysis citywide, in combination with requirements for a local ‐level analysis of multi ‐modal transportation impacts (including bicycle, pedestrian, and vehicle movements) referred to as a Multim odal Transportation Anal ysis (MTA). For more information, see Council Staff Report and Materials.
Response A.3: Please refer to Response A.1 above regarding the need for an MTA and VMT analysis.
Comment A.4: The Draft study. 918 Rich Ave Final Initial.pdf My opposition would be 1) that the study does not take into account the amount of traffic on Rich Avenue due to the additional 71 cars which could be possible due to the 71 parking spaces. This is considerably more than the 14 trips assumed below at peak hours. 3 1871 The Alameda, Suite 200 x San José, CA 95126 x Tel: (408) 248-3500 x Fax: (408) 248-9641 x www.davidjpowers.com Response A.4: As discussed in Response A.2, the Initial Study discloses that the project would result in 145 daily new trips. The 12 trips during the AM and PM peak hours are for a short specific time frame and represent peak vehicle movement during the day. The trip rates in the ITE manual are based on observed results compiled by ITE; therefore, the rates are representative of typical multifamily housing. In addition, pursuant to CEQA and Senate Bill 743 (which is described on page 121 of the Initial Study), traffic congestion (e.g., level of service) is not considered an environmental impact; therefore, discussion of the amount of traffic on Rich Avenue is not included nor is it required per CEQA.
Comment A.5: 2) Noise levels.
The document Sec 4.13.2 says that ambient noise levels would not exceed standards. We would be living next door to the property (which has an open terrace where parties would be held). Could you point me to the study which shows that the noise levels would be less than standard during normal hours and when parties are held on the open terrace.
Response A.5: The Initial Study evaluates operational noise from the proposed project’s traffic generation and mechanical equipment. Temporary and infrequent noise generated during operation (such as pe ople occupying the proposed entry plaza or 2,300 square foot rooftop deck) are not analyzed in the Initial Study as the analysis would be speculative. The proposed project is subject to the same City noise standards as the surrounding residential uses, includi ng limiting noise generating activities to certain hours and decibels (see standard condition of approval on page 106 of the Initial Study). Any noise violations are enforced through the Mountain View Police Department and City Attorney’s Office.
B. Keyi Liu & Xiulan Zhou (June 4, 2023)
Comment B.1: My name is Keyi Liu and my name is Xiulan Zhou and we are living at 920 Rich Ave, Mountain View, CA 94040. As requested in the last meeting, we want a buffer zone between our fence and the 918 pedestrian path.
Thank you for your consideration!
Response B.1: Since circulation of the IS/MND, the site plan has been revised and the proposed pedestrian path has been relocated from the south side of the project driveway to the north side of the project driveway (see updated site plan figure in the Text Revisions to the Draft IS/MND section belo w). As such, the pedestrian path is no longer adjacent to the commenter’s residence. This modification to the site plan would not change the analysis or conclusions in the Initial Study. 4 1871 The Alameda, Suite 200 x San José, CA 95126 x Tel: (408) 248-3500 x Fax: (408) 248-9641 x www.davidjpowers.com C. Deborah Lundgren (June 7, 2023)
Comment C.1: The construction of a 5-story building on this small lot would impose a huge negative impact on our community. I understand the need for more housing and state mandates for housing but it’s important to use reason.
This neighborhood is a mostly long-standing, si ngle- family neighborhood with one and 2-story buildings. To construct a 5-story building is such an invasion of privacy and esthetics of this neighborhood.
Yes the building is nice looking. Yes those maple trees in fall will be beautiful. Realize they are desiduous trees that lose all their leaves for 5 or 6 months. There is nothing to block the view of that building for half of the year! Plus, they won’t even reach the height of the building when they are fully grown! It will be fine for the residents of that buildi ng but the owner and the city are not considering the negative impact on us long-time residents: lo ss of privacy; obstructed views; lights illuminating the night sky all night, every night.
Attached is an image of the view out of my upstairs window where the bedrooms are. You can imagine how drastically it will change the view and character of our neighborhood.
Please, please allow the construction of a 4-story building only. This will still be an invasion for us but at least it won’t be so overwhelming.
Refer to Attachment A to see the photo included as part of this comment.
Response C.1: Residential uses adjacent to ex isting residential land uses is compatible. The aesthetic impacts of the pro ject are analyzed pursuant to CEQA in Section 4.1 on pages 15 through 22 of the Initial Study. Under CEQA, as stated on page 20 of the Initial Study, an aesthetic impact occurs if a project would result in a substantial adverse effect on a scenic vista, substantia lly damage scenic resources within a state scenic highway, conflict with applicable regulations governing scenic quality, and/or create a new source of substantial light or glare which would adversely affect views in the area. As explained in the Initial Study, There are no designated scenic vistas or scenic highways in the area; thus, the project would not obstruct a protected view under CEQA. The proposed project would also be built to City standards regarding setbacks and height, except for those waivers granted to the project per the State Density Bonus Law (see Table 2.7-1 on page 7 of the Initial Study).
Nighttime security lighting for the projec t would be directed downward and not spillover to adjacent properties, consistent with City standards. In addition, nighttime lighting on the project site would be simila r in lighting levels to the surrounding apartment complexes and would not create a significant new source of light or glare (see discussion under Impact AES-4 on page 22 of the Initial Study).
Additionally, the project site is located within the R3-1 zoning district, which allows for a maximum height of 45 feet, and is generally surrounded by properties in the same zoning district. However, these surrounding properties are developed with different 5 1871 The Alameda, Suite 200 x San José, CA 95126 x Tel: (408) 248-3500 x Fax: (408) 248-9641 x www.davidjpowers.com uses including two-story, small lot singl e family homes and two-story apartment buildings along Rich Avenue and Rich Place, and a one-story shopping center and church to the west. However, a four-story se nior care building on El Monte Avenue directly to the west of the project site was approved and is anticipated to be constructed prior to the subject building.
As a result of the State Density Bonus request, the project is proposing a waiver of the height restriction to allow for a five-story, 58.5 feet high building. This would be a permitted request through the State Density Bonus Law. The applicant has explained that they have reduced the massing impacts by insetting the upper floors, provided for warmer color tones, and have added landscaping around the building. 6 1871 The Alameda, Suite 200 x San José, CA 95126 x Tel: (408) 248-3500 x Fax: (408) 248-9641 x www.davidjpowers.com
