A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF MOUNTAIN VIEW
CONDITIONALLY APPROVING A VESTING TENTATIVE MAP TO CREATE FIVE NEW LOTS,
WITH ONE LOT FURTHER SUBDIVIDED INTO SIX UNITS FOR CONDOMINIUM PURPOSES
FOR THREE PARKING GARAGE UNITS, TWO RESIDENTIAL UNITS, AND ONE COMMERCIAL UNIT ON A 10.58-ACRE LOT
AT 675-685 EAST MIDDLEFIELD ROAD (APN 160-60-013)
WHEREAS, an application (Application No. PL-6535) was received from Michael Ducote, on behalf of Prometheus Real Estate Group (PREG), LP, for a Vesting Tentative Map to create five lots, including one common lot, with one lot further subdivided into six units for condominium purposes for three garage units, two residential units, and one commercial unit on a 10.58 -acre lot at 675-685 East Middlefield Road; and
WHEREAS, this project includes a new residential subdivision and is , therefore, subject to the City’s Park Land Dedication Ordinance (Chapter 41 of the Mountain View Code (City Code)), which requires dedication of park land in the amount of three acres per 1,000 residents or payment of an in-lieu fee; and
WHEREAS, a park land dedication or payment of a park land dedication in-lieu fee is critical to provide needed park facilities for the occupants of this project because it is located in the Whisman Planning Area identified in the 2014 Parks and Open Space Plan, which is an area having a deficiency of 7.44 acres of park land for existing residents of the area based on the General Plan standard of three acres of park land per 1,000 residents. The Whisman Planning Area is currently developed with 18.44 acres of park land where 25.88 acres of park land is required to serve the current population. Therefore, there currently are not adequate park land facilities available for occupants of this project, and additional park facilities are necessary; and
WHEREAS, the Environmental Planning Commission held a duly noticed public hearing on November 20, 2024 on said application and recommended the City Council conditionally approve a Vesting Tentative Map for the project site and a Planned Community Permit, Development Review Permit, and Heritage Tree Removal Permit for the project; and
WHEREAS, the City Council held a 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 determined that the Vesting Tentative Map is consistent with the applicable zoning and subdivision requirements in the General Plan, East Whisman Precise Plan, and the City Code; and
8879v1
WHEREAS, on that same date, the City Council adopted a companion Resolution to adopt the Initial Study of Environmental Significance for the 675-685 East Middlefield Road Mixed-Use Project and conditionally approve a Planned Community Development Permit, Development Review Permit, and a Heritage Tree Removal Permit for the proposed project; and
WHEREAS, subdivision of the property will facilitate the development of the project site consistent with applicable provisions of the General Plan and East Whisman Precise Plan; now, therefore, be it
RESOLVED: that the City Council of the City of Mountain View has considered the Initial Study of Environmental Significance for the 675 -685 East Middlefield Road Mixed -Use Project (attached as Attachment 11 to the City Council staff report and incorporated herein by reference as though fully set forth herein) prior to making a decision on the proposed project; and be it
FURTHER RESOLVED: that the City Council hereby makes the following findings regarding the Vesting Tentative Tract Map (Application No. PL-6535):
1. The proposed subdivision, together with the provisions for its design and improvement, is consistent with applicable general and specific plans. (Gov. Code, §§ 66473.5, 66474.) The proposed subdivision, together with the provisions for its design and improvement, is consistent with applicable general and specific plans because the subdivision provides for development that is consistent with the East Whisman Mixed -Use General Plan Land Use Designation and Development Standards in the East Whisman Precise Plan (EWPP) that apply to the site, incorporating two permitted subdivision-related design exceptions approved by the City Council as part of the project’s companion Resolution to cond itionally approve a Planned Community Development Permit, Development Review Permit, and a Heritage Tree Removal Permit for the proposed project : (A) to allow Lot A, a 1.59 -acre common lot comprised of the L-shaped service street on -site, to have a lot width that varies from 41.5 ’ to 67’, in lieu of the required 150’, as t his lot is proposed as a nondevelopable lot , would be jointly maintained by each ownership entity of the buildable lots in the mixed -use development and meets the intent and purpose of the EWPP by providing a required connection through the project per the EWPP’s multi-modal circulation plan ; and (B) to allow a p arcel size of 0.8 acre for Lot 3, on which the applicant proposes to partner to construct a standalone Below-Market-Rate (BMR) building per their Alternative Mitigation proposal under the City’s BMR Program, to be affordable in perpetuity; Lot 3 is less than the EWPP lot size standard of one acre for new lots but meets the intent of the EWPP’s reduced 0.75 -acre minimum lot size standard for affordable housing projects on dedicated land, even though Lot 3 would not be dedicated to the City.
2. The site is physically suitable for the type of density and development. (Gov. Code, § 66474.) The subdivision facilitates development of the project , which provides 836 mixed - income residential units (686 market-rate units and 150 BMR units), a 275,200 square foot office building, 2,344 square feet of neighborhood commercial space, 8.5 -level standalone parking garage, and 0.52 -acre publicly accessible, privately owned park, all of which support a diverse
8879v1
mix of households, businesses, and public spaces, consistent with the permitted uses in the EWPP and generally complying with applicable standards for this intensity and type of development under the EWPP. The project proposes a 2.711 combined floor area ratio (FAR), which does not exceed the EWPP’s 3.50 FAR maximum for mixed -use projects located within the Mixed -Use Character Area, High-Intensity Subarea. As such, the 10.58-acre site is physically suitable for the type and density of the mixed-use development, and the proposed uses are compatible with the existing office and research and development uses located to its west, northwest, and northeast, and the multi-family development to the southwest.
3. The proposed design of the subdivision and the improvements, as conditioned, will not cause environmental damage or substantially and avoidably injure fish or wildlife or their habitat. (Gov. Code, § 66474.) An Initial Study of Environmental Significance was prepared per the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) Guidelines, which analyzed the proposed development, including project improvements and subdivision proposal, and documents that with implementation of the East Whisman Precise Plan standards and guidelines, City Code requirements, standard conditions of approval, state and federal regulations, and mitigation measures adopted with the East Whisman Precise Plan Final EIR, the proposed project would not result in any new or substantially more severe environmental impacts compared to those evaluated in the previously certified East Whisman Precise Plan EIR and Mountain View 2030 General Plan and Greenhouse Gas Reduction Program Final EIR, and no supplemental or subsequent environmental review is required.
4. The design of the subdivision and its improvements will not cause serious public health problems. (Gov. Code, § 66474.) The design of the subdivision and the type of improvements are not likely to cause serious public health problems because the project is designed to be consistent with applicable policies and regulations in the General Plan, East Whisman Precise Plan, and the City Code, and will be subject to standard conditions of approval intended to protect public health, safety, convenience, and welfare. The project will further be reviewed for compliance with Building and Fire Codes to ensure on -site improvements comply with applicable codes for safe habitation. Additionally, proposed public (off-site) improvements are designed to meet applicable EWPP design standards and the City Code and have undergone multi-modal transportation analysis to ensure they are properly designed and do not conflict with applicable City Codes, public improvement plans, and standard details.
5. The design of the subdivision and its improvements will not conflict with easements, acquired by the public at -large, for access through or use of property within the subdivision. (Gov. Code, § 66474.). There are existing public utility easements within the subdivision, which will remain. The subdivision does not conflict with these easements and includes additional easements to the benefit of the public at-large for circulation through the site.
6. For a proposed subdivision with more than five hundred (500) dwelling units, water will be available and sufficient to serve the proposed subdivision in accordance with Section 66473.7 of the Subdivision Map Act. (Gov. Code, § 664733.7.) The Water Supply Assessment conducted for the East Whisman Precise Plan analyzed available water supplies and determined
8879v1
water will be available and sufficient to serve analyzed build -out of the Precise Plan area, including the proposed subdivision.
7. The discharge of waste from the proposed subdivision into the sewer system will not violate regional water quality control regulations. (Gov. Code, § 66474.6) . The project utility analy sis considered public services associated for the proposed development and improvement plans were reviewed for consistency with applicable regulations . The project subdivision will comply with applicable regulations and will not result in the discharge of waste into the sewer system that would violate regional water quality control regulations.
8. The design of the subdivision provides, to the extent feasible, for future passive or natural heating or cooling opportunities. (Gov. Code, § 66473.1.) The subdivision design and lot configuration allows opportunity for both passive or natural he ating and cooling as the subdivided parcels will be developed with individual buildings, with additional glazing providing exposure to the sun and building features and layouts that provide shade, resulting in balanced access to natural light and ventilation; and be it
9. The City has considered the effects of housing needs of the region in which the local jurisdiction is situated and balanced these needs against the public service needs of its residents and available fiscal and environmental resources. (Gov. Code, § 66412.3.) In approving the vesting tentative tract map, the City Council has considered its effect upon the housing needs of the region, balanced with the public service needs of Mountain View residents and available fiscal and environmental resources; and be it
FURTHER RESOLVED : that the Subdivision Map is hereby approved subject to the subdivider’s compliance with and fulfillment of all of the conditions of approval , which are attached hereto 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.
