WHEREAS, the City Council held a duly noticed public hearing on December 17, 2024 on said application and received and considered all evidence presented at said hearing, including the recommendation from the Environmental Planning Commission, the City Council report, and project materials and finds that the City Council report and standards for approval reflect the City’s independent judgement and analysis for the project and that the project does satisfy the requisite findings of fact necessary for approval as further explained in the City Council report and the findings of fact associated with this Resolution; now, therefore, be it
RESOLVED: that the City Council hereby makes the following findings regarding the project:
1. The Planned Community Permit to allow a 100-unit housing project, consisting of a 99-unit fully affordable rental housing development with one manager ’s unit, replacing an existing service station, per Section 36.50.55 (Findings) of the City Code:
a. The proposed use or development is consistent with applicable provisions of the San Antonio Precise Plan. The proposed use or development is consistent with the applicable provisions of the San Antonio Precise Plan (SAPP). Development standards that are relaxed or
-2-
9469v15
waived under State Density Bonus Law are not “applicable” to the project within the meaning of this finding because state law renders such standards inapplicable to allow the density bonus , concessions/incentives, and waivers (Gov. Code, § 65915, et seq.). Standards that are waived or amended pursuant to State Density Bonus Law are not considered “applicable” as written in the SAPP. “Applicable” provisions of the SAPP, for purposes of this finding, are limited to those objective standards and criteria of whi ch the applicant did not request, and which the City did not grant, concessions/incentives or waivers. The proposed development is consistent with these applicable provisions. The proposed deviations from SAPP standards, and the reasoning why the standards are not applicable under State Density Bonus Law, are discussed in depth in the applicant’s October 6, 2024 Density Bonus letter, incorporated herein by reference. The project is in substantial compliance with the intent of the applicable Precise Plan policies, standards, and guidelines by proposing transit -oriented residential development with residential amenities, including compliant long -term bicycle parking in a secured, enclosed bike room within the required active sp ace area(s) , required interior ground-floor active space frontage, and constructing SAPP -compliant streetscape improvements , including a detached sidewalk and landscape strip along the project street frontages . These features promote the SAPP’s goals of promoting increased development of a broad spectrum of housing, including a variety of unit sizes and range of affordability through the project’s provision of entirely affordable units and varied floor plans; pro moting improved urban design and placemaking through the incorporation of special design features; reducing single -occupancy vehicle trips and promoting multimodal transportation options due to proximity to major transit stops;
b. The proposed use or development is consistent with the General Plan. The proposed use or development is consistent with the Mixed -Use Corridor Land Use Designation of the General Plan as this designation accommodates multi -family residential projects at the proposed intensity of development and building heights, according to the provisions of the State Density Bonus Law, places new housing opportunities in close proximity to transit and commercial services, and includes streetscape improvements aimed at improving pedestrian and bicycle mobility in the project vicinity . The proposed development would further General Plan policies related to land use and transportation, due to the project’s location within a half-mile of a major transit stop; street presence, due to the transitional architecture features described above; and pedestrian and bicycle amenities, by providing widened sidewalks, new bicycle lanes, and short- and long-term bicycle parking. As a result of these and other mobility, land use and design, open space, and housing features of the transit -oriented, entirely affordable proposed development discussed herein, the proposed development would further overarching General Plan themes related to quality of life, sustainability, diversity, health and wellness, and economic prosperity;
c. The proposed uses and development will not be detrimental to the public interest, health, safety, convenience, or welfare. The proposed uses and development will not be detrimental to the public interest, health, safety, convenience, or welfare because the project is an infill project served by available public infrastructure and complies with all applicable Fire and Building Code requirements. The site is within an urban area that is less than one -half (0.5) mile from transit and other services. A few Transportation Demand Management (TDM)
-3-
9469v15
measures are proposed, including transit subsidies for residents . Standard City conditions of approval would reduce risk of potential vapor intrusion from the former service station site to an acceptable level;
d. The proposed project promotes a well -designed development that is harmonious with existing and planned development in the surrounding area. The proposed project promotes a well -designed development that is harmonious with existing and planned development in the surrounding area because the architectural design uses warm, complementary colors and features such as varied wall plane massing, lower -level recessed windows, and accent colors that create visual interest and is consistent with the surrounding contemporary architectural style of newer surrounding residential and commercial developments. The central courtyard and landscaping around the building perimeter, including new detached sidewalks, landscaping strips, enhanced street tree planting, and dedicated bike parking further enhances the project area and integrates the project into the neighborhood, and supports increased mobility and comfort along San Antonio Road and California Street. The project minimizes traffic conflicts by locating garage access on California Street toward the northwest end of the project site and is restricted to right-in, right-out movements to ensure a safe and clear entry for vehicles while maintaining a continuous pedestrian path; and
e. The proposed project complies with the California Environmental Quality Act.
The California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) does not apply to any development project that meets the criteria in CEQA Guidelines Section 15194 (Affordable Housing Exemption) . The approval of the project and the Planned Community Permit complies with CEQA because it is exempt per the Affordable Housing Exemption in CEQA Guidelines Section 15194:
(1) The project meets the threshold criteria under Section 15192, as:
(a) The project must be consistent with:

(i) The project site has been previously developed for qualified urban uses. The project site and the parcels immediately adjacent to the project site are developed with qualified urban uses (as defined in the California Public Resources Code Section 21072), including retail, commercial, and residential uses.
(4) The project meets both of the following requirements regarding provision of affordable housing:
(a) The project consists of the construction, conversion, or use of residential housing consisting of 100 or fewer units that are affordable to low -income households. The project will construct 100 residential rental units, with 99 units dedicated to households earning at or below 80% of the area median income (AMI). Of these 99 units, 69 units will be affordable to low -income households, 20 units will be affordable to very low -income households, and 10 units will be affordable to extremely low-income households.
(b) The developer of the project provides sufficient legal commitments to the appropriate local agency to ensure the continued availability and use of the housing units for lower-income households for a period of at least 30 years, at monthly housing costs deemed to be “affordable rent” for lower -income, very low -income, and extremely low -income households, as determined pursuant to Section 50053 of the Health and Safety Code. The
-14-

developer will enter into a legal agreement with the City to ensure that the proposed affordable units remain affordable for at least 55 years, exceeding the 30-year requirement of this section.
3. Pursuant to City Code Section 36.48.95 (Findings), prior to approving a request for a density bonus, incentive, concession, parking reduction, or waiver, the review authority must make certain specific findings as provided in Title 36 of the Zoning Code. As described below, all required findings can be affirmatively made:
a. The project is a housing development that contains at least one (1) of the features described in Section 65915(b) of the State Density Bonus Law to qualify for a density bonus and all other eligibility requirements as described in Government Code Section 65915(c), such as replacement of existing units, have been met . The project is a housing development project in which 100% of the proposed units are dedicated to low-income units, very low-income units and extremely low-income rental units, the project is eligible for a density bonus pursuant to the Density Bonus Law (Gov. Code Section 65915, et seq.) and the City’s “Residential Density Bonus” ordinance as codified in City Code Section 18.03. The required finding can be affirmatively made because the housing development contains at least one of the features described in Section 65915(b), namely, offering over ten percent of housing units for rental to lower income households pursuant to Section 65915(b)(1)(A), offering over five percent of housing units fo r rental to very low income households pursuant to Section 65915(b)(1)(B), and offering one hundred percent of all units in the development to lower income households pursuant to Section 65915(b)(1)(G). Additionally, the project satisfies all eligibility requirements described in Section 65915(c). All units would be deed -restricted to ensure continued affordability of all affordable rental units for 55 years or a longer period of time if required by the construction or mor tgage financing assistance program , mortgage insurance program, or rental subsidy program, as applicable, pursuant to Section 65915(c)(1). The site does not currently contain any residential housing units and thus no rental units would be demolished as part of the project, pursuant to Section 65915(c)(3). Therefore, as a 100% affordable housing project, the project is entitled to up to five concessions or incentives under Government Code Section 65915(d)(2)(D) and any number of necessary waivers of development standards;
b. If bonus density is requested, the project has provided sufficient affordable units or otherwise meets the eligibility requirements for the bonus as described in Section 65915(f) of the State Density Bonus Law . The project is a 100% affordable housing project that meets the criteria of Section 65915(b)(1)(G) and is located within one-half mile of a major transit stop, therefore the City cannot impose maximum controls on density pursuant to Section 65915(f)(3)(D)(ii). The applicant is requesting an approximately 78% density bonus (equivalent to 44 density bonus units) for a total of 100 units from the base density of 56 units;
c. If reduced parking ratios are requested, the project meets the eligibility requirements thereof as described in Section 65915(p) of the State Density Bonus La w. The project meets the eligibility requirements thereof as described in Section 65915(p) of the State Density Bonus law a s a 100% affordable proposed housing development and is located within one-half mile of a major transit stop, with unobstructed access to the major transit stop from the
-15-
9469v15
development. P ursuant to Section 65915(p)(3)(A), the City cannot impose vehicular parking standards upon the request of the applicant. The applicant requested that the City not impose vehicular parking standards, pursuant to Section 65915(p)(3)(A), but will provide a limited number of spaces for residents;
d. If incentives/concessions are requested, the project meets the eligibility requirements as described in Section 65915(d) of the State Density Bonus Law and the incentive/concession results in reduced costs to provide the affordable units. The project meets the eligibility requirements for five concessions as described in Section 65915(d) of the State Density Bonus Law, and the concessions result in reduced costs to provide the affordable units because the concession would allow the developer to provide u p to 80% AMI among the affordable units, rather than the 100% AMI weighted average required by the City’s BMR Ordinance. The applicant proposes 99 affordable units, including 69 low -income (80% AMI), 20 very low-income (50% AMI), and 10 extremely low -income (30% AMI), resulting in a weighted average of approximately 69% AMI. Additionally, pursuant to the ruling in Schreiber v. City of Los Angeles (2021) 69 Cal.App. 5th 549, local agencies cannot require density bonus applicants to submit pro formas or other financial documentation required to prove that requested incentives and concessions are necessary to make the housing development financially feasible. However, for informational purposes, the applicant submitted a Density Bonus Law letter, which is incorporated herein, describing how each concession and incentive provides for cost reductions which ensure the development of the affordable housing project at the densities and at the affordability levels proposed by the applicant pursuant to Section 65915(d) .The concessions include the removal of Transportation Demand Management (TDM) requirements per the SAPP, relief from minimum standards for ground -floor height (from 14’ minimum to 11’), open area/landscaping (from 40% minimum to 37.7%), common usable open space (from 175 square feet per unit minimum to 35.56 square feet per unit minimum), and the request to underground existing overhead utilities; and
e. If waivers are requested, the development standards requested to be waived would physically preclude the units or incentives/concessions provided in the project as described in Section 65915(e) of the State Density Bonus Law. The development standards requested to be waived would physically preclude the units or incentives/concessions provided in the project as described in Section 65915(e) of the State Density Bonus Law because strict adherence to each of the requested waivers/reductions of development standards would reduce the size of the project in a manner that would not allow the density bonus units to be built. The requested reductions in development standards include relie f from maximum floor area ratio (FAR) (from 1.85 to 4.37), building height (from 45’ maximum to 95’), number of stories (from three stories to eight stories), required frontage setbacks (from 24’ minimum to 15’ -9” along California Street), and waivers for height at frontage setbacks, personal storage, and w indow recessing. Each development standard waiver proposed as part of the project, as described in the Density Bonus Law letter provided by the applicant, ensures the development of the affordable housing project at the densities and with the incentives or concessions proposed by the applicant. Without the proposed waivers of development standards pursuant to Section
-16-
9469v15
65915(e), the development standards would have the effect of physically precluding the construction of the development project; and be it
FURTHER RESOLVED: that the City Council hereby approves the Planned Community Permit, Development Review Permit, and Density Bonus Application for said project , and the approvals 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.
TIME FOR JUDICIAL REVIEW. The time within which judicial review of this decision must be sought is governed by California Code of Civil Procedure, Section 1094.6, as established by Resolution No. 13850, adopted by the City Council on August 9, 1983.
NOTICE. The conditions of project approval set forth herein include certain fees and other exactions. Pursuant to Government Code Section 66020(d)(1), these conditions constitute written notice of a statement of the amount of such fees, and a description of the dedications, reservations, and exactions. The applicant is hereby further notified that the 90 -day appeal period, in which the applicant may protest these fees and other exactions, pursuant to Government Code Section 66020(a), has begun. If the applicant fails to file a protest within this 90-day period complying with all requirements of Section 66020, the applicant will be legally barred from later challenging such fees or exactions.

46. INTERIOR NOISE LEVELS : Construction drawings must confirm that measures have been taken to achieve an interior noise level of 45 dB(A)Ldn that shall be reviewed and approved by a qualified acoustical consultant prior to building permit submittal.
47. CONSTRUCTION NOISE REDUCTION : The following noise reduction measures shall be incorporated into construction plans and contractor specifications to reduce the impact of temporary construction -related noise on nearby properties: (a) comply with manufacturer’s muffler requirements on all construction equipment engines; (b) turn off construction equipm ent when not in use, where applicable; (c) locate stationary equipment as far as practical from receiving properties; (d) use temporar y sound barriers or sound curtains around loud stationary equipment if the other noise reduction methods are not effective or possible; and (e) shroud or shield impact tools and use electric-powered rather than diesel-powered construction equipment.
48. SITE-SPECIFIC BUILDING ACOUSTICAL ANALYSIS : A qualified acoustical consultant will review final site plans, building elevations, and floor plans prior to construction to calculate expected interior noise levels as required by state noise regulations. Project-specific acoustical analyses are required by the California Building Code to confirm that the design results in interior noise levels reduced to 45 dB(A)Ldn or lower. The specific determination of what noise insulation tre atments are necessary will be completed on a unit -by-unit basis. Resu lts of the analysis, including the description of the necessary noise control treatments, will be submitted to the City along with the building plans and approved prior to issuance of a building permit. Building sound insulation requirements will include the provision of forced-air mechanical ventilation for all residential units as recommended by the qualified acoustical consultant, so that windows can be kept closed at the occupant’s discretion to control noise. Special building techniques (e.g., sound-rated windows and building facade treatments) will be implemented as recommended by the qualified acoustical consultant to maintain interior noise levels at or below acceptable levels. These treatments will include, but are not limited to, sound -rated win dows and doors, sound -rated wall construction, acoustical caulking, protected ventilation openings, etc.
49. PILE DRIVING NOISE REDUCTION : The following measures shall be incorporated into construction plans and contractor specifications if pile driving is proposed: (a) multiple pile drivers shall be considered to expedite construction. Althoug h noise levels generated by multiple pile drivers would be higher than the noise generated by a single pile driver, the total duration of pile driving would be reduced; and (b) temporary noise control blanket barriers shall shroud pile drivers or be erected in a manner to shield the foundation pile holes as a standard construction noise control technique. Predrilling reduces the number of blows required to seat the pile.
CONSTRUCTION ACTIVITIES
50. SINGLE-PHASE DEVELOPMENT: Construction of the project shall be done in a single phase unless a phased construction project schedule is approved by the Zoning Administrator (or City Council).
51. CONSTRUCTION PARKING: The applicant shall prepare a construction parking management plan to address parking demands and impacts during the construction phase of the project by contractors or other continued operations on -site. The plan shall also include a monitoring and enfor cement measure which specifies on -street parking is prohibited and will be monitored by the owner/operator of the property (or primary contractor), and penalties will be enforced by the owner/operator of the property (or primary contractor) for violations of on-street parking restrictions. Violations of this provision may result in a stop- work notice being issued by the City for development project. The construction parking management plan shall be subject to review and approval by the Zoning Administrator prior to the issuance of building permits.
52. NOTICE OF CONSTRUCTION: The applicant shall notify neighbors within 750’ of the project site of the construction schedule in writing, prior to construction. For multi -phased construction, separate notices may be required for each phase of construction. A copy of the notice and the mailing list shall be submitted for review prior to issuance of building permits.
53. DISTURBANCE COORDINATOR : The applicant shall designate a “disturbance coordinator” who will be responsible for responding to any local complaints regarding construction noise. The coordinator (who may be an employee of the general contractor) will determine the cause of the complaint and will require that reasonable measure s warranted to correct the problem be implemented. A telephone number of the noise disturbance coordinator shall be conspicuously posted at the construction site fence and on the notification sent to neighbors adjacent to the site. The sign must also lis t an emergency after-hours contact number for emergency personnel.
JT/4/CDD
830-11-20-24COA Page 7 of 26
54. HEALTH AND SAFETY MEASURES : The permittee/contractor is responsible for preparing and implementing an appropriate health and safety plan to address the contamination and manage the operations in a safe manner and in compliance with the Cal/OSHA Construction Safety Orders and other state and federal requirements.
55. HAZARDOUS MATERIALS CONTAMINATION: To reduce the potential for construction workers and adjacent uses to encounter hazardous materials contamination from asbestos -containing materials (ACM) and lead -based paint, the following measures are to be included in the project:

58. DISCOVERY OF ARCHAEOLOGICAL RESOURCES : If prehistoric or historic -period cultural materials are unearthed during ground-disturbing activities, it is recommended that all work within 100’ of the find be halted until a qualified archaeologist and Native American representative can assess the s ignificance of the find. Prehistoric materials might include obsidian and chert-flaked stone tools (e.g., projectile points, knives, scrapers) or tool -making debris; culturally darkened soil (“midden”) containing heat-affected rocks and artifacts; stone milling equipment (e.g., mortars, pestles, handstones, or milling slabs); and battered-stone tools, such as hammerstones and pitted stones. Historic -period materials might include stone, concrete, or adobe footings and walls; filled wells or privies; and deposits of metal, glass, and/or ceramic refuse. If the find is determined to be potentially significant, the archaeologist, in consultation with the Native American representative, will develop a treatment plan that could include site avoidance, capping, or data recovery.
59. DISCOVERY OF HUMAN REMAINS : In the event of the discovery of human remains during construction or demolition, there shall be no further excavation or disturbance of the site within a 50’ radius of the location of such discovery, or any nearby area reasonably suspected to overlie a djacent remains. The Santa Clara County Coroner shall be notified and shall make a determination as to whether the remains are Native American. If the Coroner determines that the remains are not subject to their authority, the Coroner shall notify the Native American Heritage Commission, which shall attempt to identify descendants of the deceased Native American. If no satisfactory agreement can be reached as to the disposition of the remains pursuant to this state law, then the landowner shall reinter the human remains and items associated with Native American burials on the property in a location not subject to further subsurface disturbance. A final report shall be submitted to the City’s Community Development Director prior to release of a Certificate of Occupancy. This report shall contain a description of the mitigation programs and its results, including a description of the monitoring and testing resources analysis methodology and conclusions, and a description of the disposition/curation of the resources. The report shall verify completion of the mitigation program to the satisfaction of the City’s Community Development Director.
60. DISCOVERY OF PALEONTOLOGICAL RESOURCES : In the event that a fossil is discovered during construction of the project, excavations within 50’ of the find shall be temporarily halted or delayed until the discovery is examined by a qualified paleontologist, in accordance with Society of Vertebrate Paleontology standards. The City shall include a standard inadvertent discovery clause in every construction contract to inform contractors of this requirement. If the find is determined to be significant and if avoidance is not feasible, the paleontologist shall design and carry out a data recovery plan consistent w ith the Society of Vertebrate Paleontology standards.
61. INDOOR FORMALDEHYDE REDUCTIONS : If the project utilizes composite wood materials (e.g., hardwood plywood, medium density fiberboard, particleboard) for interior finishes, then only composite wood materials that are made with CARB approved, no-added formaldehyde (NAF) resins, or ultra -low emitting formaldehyde (ULEF) resins shall be utilized (CARB, Airborne Toxic Control Measure to Reduce Formaldehyde Emissions from Composite Wood Products, 17 CCR Section 93120, et seq., 2009- 2013).
62. PRECONSTRUCTION NESTING BIRD SURVEY: To the extent practicable, vegetation removal and construction activities shall be performed from September 1 through January 31 to avoid the general nesting period for birds. If construction or vegetation removal cannot be performed during this period, preconstruction surveys will be performed no more than two days prior to construction activities to locate any active nests as follows:
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 two 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.

63. 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.
