DATE 05/25/2023
TO Honorable Mayor and City Council Members
FROM Matthew Farrell, Chief Building Official
SUBJECT Waive full reading, conduct second reading by title only, and adoption of an ordinance amending Chapter 15.04, General Provisions, and Chapter 15.44, Green Building and Construction and Waste Debris Recycling, of the Newark Municipal Code to align with State requirements
SUMMARY AND RECOMMENDATION
As indicated during the May 11, 2023, City Council meeting for the first reading and introduction of this item, Newark Municipal Code Chapters 15.04 and 15.44 require updating to align with new State requirements. The proposed ordinance would amend the Newark Municipal Code to align with the State requirements as well as allow for an additional enforcement method under SB 1383.
Staff recommends that the City Council waive full reading and, by title only, conduct a second reading and adopt an ordinance amending chapters 15.04 General Provisions and 15.44 Green Building and Construction and Waste Debris Recycling of the Newark Municipal Code.
BACKGROUND
Several recent State law updates have resulted in a need for the City to update the current Newark Municipal Code (NMC) Chapters 15.04 and 15.44. This recent legislation includes, but is not limited to, AB 1124 (2021), SB 1383 (2020), AB 2913 (2018), and others, which impacted and required cities to change certain processes related to building standards and the means and method of enforcing the local process for handling permitted projects. The proposed ordinance would align the requirements that the State has imposed. The SB 1383 recycling initiative has brought more requirements on the City and the proposed plan will help to enforce these requirements. Most cities have brought forward similar processes of deposits based on weight or volume of materials for an enforcement method. The proposed ordinance would be expanded to provide options on ways to be compliant without causing an undue burden to property owners and contractors.
The first reading of this ordinance was conducted at the May 11, 2023 City Council meeting.
DISCUSSION/ANALYSIS
Currently, NMC Chapter 15.04, General Provisions, contains language that had been Packet Page 27
Currently, NMC Chapter 15.04, General Provisions, contains language that had been based on how building codes should be enforced and also outlined processes for staff to follow. Many of these chapters are now found in the code language itself, such as in the Administrative Code recently adopted by the City Council. Therefore, some duplicated language such as sections 15.04.210, 230, and 240 are proposed to be removed from the updated chapter. The other changes proposed are to clarify the process on how to enforce the standards and align with current State requirements.
NMC Chapter 15.44, Green Building and Construction and Waste Debris Recycling, requires amendments largely due to Senate Bill 1383 and to address certain development projects that were not meeting code-required diversion measures due to a lack of established enforcement standards on the projects. Staff reviewed many options including the use of fines, deposits, and the withholding of occupancies as tools to gain compliance. From staff's perspective, the best approach is a deposit program that can ensure compliance of the minimum requirements without resulting in an adverse impact on the project. The option of utilizing fines at the end of the project would be challenging to capture and may require a lien process, thus expending additional staff resources.
FISCAL IMPACT
There is no direct fiscal impact due to adoption of the proposed ordinance.

Item D. 5.
DATE 05/25/2023
TO Honorable Mayor and City Council Members
FROM Jayson Imai, Assistant City Engineer
SUBJECT Adopt a resolution approving amendments to the Contractual Services Agreements with Bear Electrical Solutions, Inc. and Cal West Lighting & Signal Maintenance for additional traffic signal and street light maintenance services and amendment of the 2022-2024 Biennial Budget and Capital Improvement Plan
SUMMARY AND RECOMMENDATION
The volume of required traffic signal and street light maintenance service needs has remained high over the past year with an unexpected increased number of signal and light knockdowns resulting from vehicular accidents over the winter period. To keep up with the increased maintenance demands and to complete the desired installation of new street names signs at signalized intersections, amendments to the On-Call Contractual Services Agreements for traffic signal and street light maintenance services with Bear Electrical Solutions, Inc. and Cal West Lighting & Signal Maintenance are necessary to increase the respective contractual not-to-exceed amounts.
Staff recommends adopting a resolution to amend the Contractual Services Agreement with Bear Electrical Solutions, Inc. to increase the not-to-exceed amount for Fiscal Year 2023 to $107,072 and to amend the Contractual Services Agreement with Cal West Lighting & Signal Maintenance for Fiscal Year 2023 to $220,350. Staff further recommends amending the 2022-2024 Biennial Budget and Capital Improvement Plan to add $75,000 of appropriation from the General Fund Unappropriated Fund Balance to Public Works Department’s Operating Budget for Street Lighting and Traffic Signals.
Concurrent with these contractual modifications, staff also recommends amending each agreement to reflect budgeted expenditures for increased traffic signal and street light maintenance services completed in Fiscal Year 2021.
BACKGROUND
In June 2020, the City awarded On-Call Contractual Services Agreements (Agreements) for a term of two years to Bear Electrical Solutions, Inc. (Bear Electrical) and to Cal West Lighting & Signal Maintenance (Cal West) for traffic signal and street light maintenance services with annual not-to-exceed amounts of $100,000 per fiscal year for each agreement. The initial not-to-exceed amounts were based on Public Works Department’s Operating Budget for Street Lighting and Traffic Signals.
In June 2022, pursuant to the terms of the Agreements, the City extended the Agreements with both Bear Electrical and Cal West for an additional one-year term Packet Page 73
through June 30, 2023, each with a not-to exceed amount of $100,000. These not-to-exceed amounts were again based on Public Works Department’s Operating Budget for Street Lighting and Traffic Signals in the 2022-2024 Biennial Budget for Fiscal Year 2023.
DISCUSSION/ANALYSIS
The volume of required traffic signal and street light maintenance service needs has remained high and steady over the past year. In particular, the City was subject to an unexpectedly high number of traffic signal and street light pole knockdowns due to vehicular accidents during the winter months. The consequence of these increased number of knockdowns and continued maintenance needs is that additional funding is needed for anticipated expenditures.
The Engineering Division has also often required services from on-call consultants related to projects funded by sources outside of the Public Works Department Operating Budget, such as those projects funded as part of the Capital Improvement Plan. The costs for these services often exceed the not-to-exceed amounts established by the Department’s Operating Budget and therefore require contractual amendments. Cal West recently submitted a scope and fee proposal in the amount of $50,424 for on-call traffic signal maintenance services to install eighty-eight additional street name signs at the City’s signalized intersections as the second and final phase of Citywide Traffic Signal Street Name Signs, Project 1201. These new street name signs are highly visible, extremely reflective for nighttime driving, and provide a significant improvement for the community over the older street name signs.
To address the increased level of required street light and traffic signal maintenance as well as the need for installation of the new street names signs, staff recommends amending the Contractual Services Agreements with Bear Electric and Cal West to increase the not-to-exceed amounts for Fiscal Year 2023 to $107,072 and $220,350, respectively. A budget amendment to increase the Public Works Department Operating Budget for Street Lighting and Traffic Signals in the amount of $75,000 is needed for the anticipated increase in expenditures for maintenance services. The remaining budget capacity has been approved previously by the City Council in the 2022-2024 Biennial Budget and Capital Improvement Plan for the Citywide Traffic Signal and Street Name Signs, Project 1201, and the mid-year amendments approved via Resolution No. 11,478 on March 23, 2023.
The City Council previously authorized a budget increase of $65,000 in Fiscal Year 2021 for the Public Works Department Operating Budget for Street Lighting and Traffic Signals pursuant to Resolution No. 11,194. Due to an administrative oversight, staff is seeking and recommends that concurrent with the proposed amendment, the City Council include increases to the not-to-exceed amounts for Bear Electric and Cal West to reflect the budgeted expenditures for Fiscal Year 2021. For the Bear Electric agreement, this is an increase of $13,645.83, and for the Cal West agreement, an increase of $43,829.51.
Packet Page 74
FISCAL IMPACT
An amendment of the 2022-2024 Biennial Budget and Capital Improvement Plan is needed to add $75,000 of appropriation from the General Fund Unappropriated Fund Balance to Public Works Department’s Operating Budget for Street Lighting and Traffic Signals for Fiscal Year 2023. No additional budget amendments are necessary.

Item E. 1.
DATE 05/25/2023
TO Honorable Mayor and City Council Members
FROM Neal Hornbeck, Assistant Maintenance Superintendent SUBJECT Hearing to consider property owners' objections to the 2023 Weed Abatement Program and instruction to the Superintendent of Streets to abate the public nuisances SUMMARY AND RECOMMENDATION
The City of Newark conducts an annual weed abatement program as a fire prevention measure. This program is a coordinated effort between the City's Maintenance Division and Alameda County Fire Department Fire Prevention staff. Vacant properties with the potential for extensive weed growth are typically included in the program.
Property owners of these properties have the option to either complete weed abatement work themselves or have the work completed by a City contractor through this program. The City's contractor is scheduled to complete any necessary abatement work in June.
At the April 13, 2023, City Council meeting, the City Council initiated the 2023 Weed Abatement Program and set May 25, 2023 as the date for a public hearing to hear any objections from property owners. This year's program includes inspection and potential abatement of approximately 121 properties. Notices were sent giving property owners until May 24, 2023, to advise the City if they intend to abate the weeds themselves.
Most property owners typically perform the work themselves and as of May 17, 2023, no written objections have been received. If objections are received prior to or during the public hearing, the City Council should consider the objections, and then allow or overrule the objections by motion.
Staff recommends that the City Council, by motion, act upon any objections by property owners to the 2023 Weed Abatement Program, and instruct the Superintendent of Streets to abate the public nuisances.
BACKGROUND
The City of Newark conducts an annual weed abatement program to abate weeds on vacant properties that are not properly maintained by property owners to the satisfaction of Alameda County Fire Department (ACFD) Fire Prevention staff. The program is authorized by, and conducted pursuant to, Government Code Sections 39560, et seq. The abatement work typically consists of tractor mowing, supplemented with manual labor to clear weeds abutting fences and to remove debris to facilitate tractor work. Property owners have the option to make their own arrangements for weed and debris removal. All properties on which the City performs the abatement Packet Page 144
weed and debris removal. All properties on which the City performs the abatement work would be assessed the full cost of that work, including administrative costs.
Administrative coste are 20% of the cost of the weed abatement services pursuant to the adopted Fiscal Year 2023 Master Fee Schedule.
DISCUSSION/ANALYSIS
There are approximately 121 industrial, residential, and commercial parcels that have large areas of vacant ground with regular seasonal weed growth that could develop into a fire hazard if not properly maintained. These parcels are located throughout the City and are listed on Schedule "A". Property owners choosing to complete weed and debris removal themselves must complete the work prior to the schedule set for the City's contractor. The City's landscape maintenance contractor is scheduled to perform the weed abatement work in June. Property owners were sent pre-paid postcards following City Council's initiation of the 2023 Weed Abatement Program and were asked to return those postcards by May 24, 2023, to advise the City if they would abate the weeds themselves. At the time of this writing, no written objections have been received. If the weeds on these parcels are not abated in a timely manner, the City's contractor will perform the work in June. This provides property owners ample time to complete the abatement work.
If objections are received prior to or during the public hearing, the City Council should consider the objections; and then, by motion, allow or overrule the objections. The City Council may then instruct the Superintendent of Streets to abate the public nuisance on the parcels remaining in the program.
FISCAL IMPACT
The 2022-2024 Biennial Budget and Capital Improvement Plan for Fiscal Year 2023 is projected to provide sufficient funding for the 2023 Weed Abatement Program. Should the anticipated scope of work to be performed by the City increase significantly, a future budget amendment may be necessary.

FROM Carmelisa Lopez, Senior Planner
SUBJECT Public Hearing to consider adopting an ordinance establishing a Planned Development Overlay District and adopting a resolution approving a Planned Development Plan, Design Review, a Minor Use Permit, and a Vesting Tentative Map, and adoption of a Mitigated Negative Declaration supported by an Initial Study in accordance with the California Environmental Quality Act for a 118-unit residential development located at 38288-38594 Cedar Boulevard (APNs 92A-2375-002-06, 92A-2375-022-01).
SUMMARY AND RECOMMENDATION
Robson Homes LLC (the “Applicant”) submitted an application for a 118-unit residential development comprised of 90 single-family residences and 28 two-unit attached townhouses (duets) at 38288-38594 Cedar Boulevard (the “project site”) (the “Project”).
The project site currently contains several commercial buildings and paved areas for circulation, parking, and storage and is surrounded by commercial, industrial, church, school, and single-family residential uses.
The project site is zoned RM Residential Medium Density with a General Plan designation of Medium Density Residential. The Applicant requests deviations from some zoning regulations to achieve the required density and provide for greater flexibility in the design of the development. While the Project would not be consistent with specific zoning regulations, the proposed use is permitted in the RM zoning district and complies with the required density of both the RM zoning district and Medium Density Residential General Plan designation. The Project, as proposed, would also enhance the appearance of the site and neighborhood, improve the street frontage along Cedar Boulevard, and include several offsite improvements to benefit the Newark community. The Applicant also seeks a Minor Use Permit (“MUP”) to construct an 18-foot-tall masonry sound wall along the rear property line that would wrap around the northwestern and southwestern boundaries, stepping down from a height of 18 to 10 feet from the rear to the front of the property. The proposed sound wall is required to reduce exterior noise levels within the project site up to 65 decibels (dB) to comply with General Plan Policy EH-7.4.
Staff recommends that the City Council take the following actions to approve the Project:
1. Adopt an Ordinance establishing a Planned Development Overlay District at 38288-38594 Cedar Boulevard (APNs 92A-2375-002-06, 92A-2375-022-01); Packet Page 151
2. Adopt a Resolution approving P2021-002, a Planned Development Plan, Design Review, a Minor Use Permit, and a Vesting Tentative Map for a 118-unit residential development located at 38288-38594 Cedar Boulevard (APNs 92A-2375-002-06, 92A-2375-022-01) based on the recommended findings and subject to the recommended conditions of approval; and
3. Adopt a Mitigated Negative Declaration supported by an Initial Study in accordance with the California Environmental Quality Act for a 118-unit residential development located at 38288-38594 Cedar Boulevard (APNs 92A-2375-002-06, 92A-2375-022-01) based on the recommended findings and subject to the recommended conditions of approval.
BACKGROUND
The Project is for a 118-unit residential development comprised of single-family residences and two-unit attached townhouses (duets) on a 7.76-acre site located at 38288-38594 Cedar Boulevard.
The project site is a rectangular property consisting of four legal lots bounded by a personal storage facility to the northwest, Interstate 880 (“I-880”) to the northeast, an Alameda County Flood Control & Water Conservation District (“ACFCD”) channel to the southeast, and Cedar Boulevard to the southwest. The project site currently contains several commercial buildings used by automobile repair and parts supply shops, a large metal storage shed for parking trailers and campers, and paved areas for circulation, parking, and storage. The presence of hazardous materials related to Leaking Underground Fuel Tank (LUFT) cases and unrelated to the LUFT cases such as a used oil above ground storage tank (AST) and containers of petroleum and other materials such as carbon filters were also observed on the project site. The hazardous materials onsite are analyzed in the Initial Study for the project (see Attachment 1, Exhibits E and G). The project site is surrounded by commercial, industrial, church, school, and single-family residential uses and is zoned RM Residential Medium Density with a General Plan designation of Medium Density Residential.
The Applicant has been developing, designing, and building residential, multi-family and retail projects in the Bay Area for over 30 years.
Project Proposal
The Project would result in the project site being subdivided into 124 lots: 118 residential lots and six common lots for the private streets and common open space areas (see Attachment 1, Exhibit D). The Project provides a 5-foot-wide right-of-way dedication for Cedar Boulevard at the front of the property. Residential lot sizes range from 1,391 to 3,484 square feet (sq. ft.) and the habitable area of each residence ranges from 1,961 to 2,589 sq. ft. Each residence is three stories and includes a two-car garage on the ground level. The Project also includes over 44,000 sq. ft. of private and public open space area with various amenities such as play structures and a dog area, 294 parking spaces for both residents and guests, and various offsite improvements.

The Project requires a Planned Development Overlay District as it would not otherwise meet all of the RM zoning district standards and parking layout requirements in Newark Municipal Code (“NMC”) Section 17.07.030 and Chapter 17.23, respectively.
Building Design
The proposed architectural design is a contemporary translation of early California architecture, developed as a combination of traditional New England and Spanish styles. The proposed floor plans and elevations would provide a variety of massing, wall breaks, colors, and materials. The proposed building materials include stucco, board and batten, and brick. The colors of the buildings would be shades of white and garage doors, doors, and various architectural features would be painted accent colors such as brown, forest green, and red. Enhanced side elevations are also proposed on various buildings adjacent to entrances to the neighborhood, open space areas, and facing I-880. Further, the buildings along Cedar Boulevard would be oriented toward Cedar Boulevard, and their front entrances would face Cedar Boulevard.
Open Space and Landscaping
The Project includes a total of 44,990 sq. ft. of open space area: 33,283 sq. ft. of common open space and 11,707 sq. ft. of private open spaces. The residences would include private open space areas such as decks and porches. The common open space areas would feature a diverse palette of trees, shrubs, and ground cover and include various amenities such as play structures, benches, and pedestrian bridges over bioretention areas. Some common open space areas include stormwater bioretention areas. The larger common open space areas are centrally located, and the Packet Page 153
smaller common open space areas are located at the corners of the neighborhood. All homes connect to the common open space areas via sidewalks and interconnected walkways. Planting pockets with accent plantings are proposed along the sidewalks and walkways within the site. The proposed streetscape along Cedar Boulevard include large landscape areas, a low wall to maintain a clear distinction between the public and private realm, and a meandering sidewalk.
Fences and Walls
Due to the project site’s location adjacent to I-880, the Project includes an 18-foot-tall masonry sound wall with plant pockets for vines along the rear property line and wrap around the northwestern and southwestern boundaries, stepping down from a height of 18 to 10 feet from the rear to the front of the property. This wall assists in reducing highway noise levels. The residential development northwest of the project along Cedar Boulevard known as Cedar Townhomes also included a similar fence due to the site’s location adjacent to I-880.
The Project includes other fences and walls throughout the development including four-foot-tall stucco walls and six-foot-tall fences and gates in the side yard of each residential lot for outdoor storage of store trash, recycling, and organic waste receptacles, four-foot-tall fences around the perimeter of the dog areas, and low stucco walls in front of the residences along Cedar Boulevard.
Parking, Access, and Circulation
The NMC requires that single-unit dwelling uses have two parking spaces per unit within a garage. Therefore, the Project requires 236 parking spaces. The Project proposes a total of 294 parking spaces. Each residence includes two garage parking spaces for a total of 236 residential parking spaces with the remaining 58 parking spaces for guests. The guest parking spaces are parallel and head-in parking spaces on the private streets and within a parking area at the rear of the project site. As will be discussed in later in this report, the project would not meet some parking standards in NMC Chapter 17.23, specifically the minimum dimensions for parallel parking spaces and the minimum parking drive aisle width for 90° (head-in) parking spaces.
The residences are accessed via two driveways from Cedar Boulevard and private streets within the project site. The private streets and courts would provide direct access to the two-car garages on the ground level of each residence. Pedestrian circulation throughout the site would be provided via sidewalks and interconnected walkways.
Utilities
The Project includes the undergrounding of utilities including tie-ins for stormwater, sewer, and water along Cedar Boulevard and the relocation of certain streetlights, fire hydrants, and other on-site utilities. Existing 18-inch stormwater drainpipes in Cedar Boulevard near the southwestern and southeastern corners of the project site would be replaced with 24-inch stormwater lines to serve the project.
Packet Page 154
Off-Site Improvements
The project would include the following off-site improvements:
Sidewalk reconstruction, street tree plantings, and landscape installation on the northeast side of Cedar Boulevard;
1. Two 8-foot tall masonry walls, street tree plantings, and landscape installation on the southwest side of Cedar Boulevard;
2. Traffic signal and crosswalk improvements at the Cedar Blvd and Smith Ave intersection;
3. 4. Traffic median improvements on Cedar Boulevard;
Undergrounding of utilities along Cedar Blvd including tie-ins for storm, sewer, and water;
5. 6. Sidewalk extension across the adjacent public storage property to the northwest;
7. Left turn queue lane extension at the corner of Cedar Blvd and Mowry Avenue; and
8. Bus shelter along the Cedar Boulevard frontage adjacent to Lots 68 & 111.
DISCUSSION/ANALYSIS
General Plan/Zoning Conformity
The Medium Density Residential General Plan designation is intended for garden apartments and condominiums, townhomes, row houses, four- to eight-plexes, and older areas that contain a mix of multi-family and single-family homes within this range.
These areas tend to be multi-family in character but retain some of the characteristics of suburban neighborhoods. Densities in areas with this designation range from 14 to 30 units per net acre. This designation is implemented through RM Residential Medium Density (RM) zoning district.
Pursuant to NMC Section 17.07.020, attached and detached single-unit dwellings are permitted in the RM zoning district. The Project includes attached and detached dwellings and has a density of 21 units per acre, where a minimum density of 14 to 30 units per acre. Therefore, the proposed use is permitted and complies with the required density of both the RM zoning district and Medium Density Residential designation of the General Plan.
The Project is also consistent with several General Plan policies such as Policy LU-1.10 (Vacant and Underutilized Sites) which encourages the development of Newark’s remaining underutilized sites for their highest and best use and Policy LU-1.16 (Planned Unit Development) which encourages the use of the planned unit development approach to accommodate attractive, creative development on sites where traditional zoning standards do not achieve the best design solution. The Project’s consistency with applicable General Plan policies is further discussed in Attachment 1, Exhibit A of this report.
To achieve the required density and provide for greater flexibility in the design of the Packet Page 155
development, the Project requires deviations from some zoning regulations. The requested deviations are outlined in Table 2 below.

The Applicant also requests an MUP to construct an 18-foot tall masonry sound wall along the rear property line that would wrap around the northwestern and southwestern boundaries, stepping down from a height of 18 to 10 feet from the rear to the front of the property. Pursuant to NMC Section 17.17.040, wall heights greater than eight feet are permitted with the approval of an MUP. The environmental noise study prepared for the Project (see Attachment 1, Exhibit E) determined the proposed wall would be required to meet General Plan Policy EH-7.4. This policy requires the noise levels in residential areas to be limited to 60 db, or to the greatest extent feasible when levels are exceeded due to freeways and other noise-reduction measures. Exterior noise levels would be reduced up to 65 dB with the construction of the proposed sound wall.
Requested Entitlements
Packet Page 156
Requested Entitlements
Planned Development Overlay District
The Project requires a Planned Development (-PD) Overlay District to allow for the proposed development. Pursuant to NMC Chapter 17.12, a -PD overlay district provides for better-coordinated development and incorporates development standards crafted to respond to site conditions in order to provide for greater flexibility in the design of the developments than is otherwise possible through the strict application of zoning district regulations. A -PD overlay district also ensures compliance with the general plan and promotes creativity in building design and innovation in development concepts.
As discussed in previous sections, the Project requires deviations from some zoning regulations. The requested deviations are outlined in Table 2 in the previous section. A PD plan and zoning amendment requires the findings outlined in NMC Section
17.12.060.
The Project would have a net density of 21 units per acre which is consistent with envisioned density for the Medium Density Residential General Plan designation. The project would not have a substantial adverse effect on surrounding land uses and would be compatible with the existing and planned land use character of the surrounding area. The zoning for project site and properties north of Cedar Boulevard was rezoned to Residential Medium Density in the mid-2010’s to facilitate the conversion of the properties on this side of Cedar Boulevard to medium-density residential use. Since the zoning amendment was adopted, medium-density residential development has been entitled and constructed to the northwest and southeast of the project site along Cedar Boulevard. Further, as will be discussed in the next section, the development generally complies with applicable adopted design guidelines.
Adequate design features for automobile and public utility services would be provided.
The Project would not result in a reduction of traffic levels of service or public services that would be detrimental to public health, safety, or welfare. Access to the project site would be provided via two driveways from Cedar Boulevard and private streets within the project site. The private streets and courts would provide direct access to the two-car garages on the ground level of each unit. The Project includes several on- and offsite improvements including a new traffic signal at the Cedar Boulevard and Smith Avenue intersection, a left turn queue lane extension at the corner of Cedar Boulevard and Mowry Avenue, traffic median improvements on Cedar Boulevard, undergrounding of utilities along Cedar Blvd including tie-ins for storm, sewer, and water, relocation of certain street lights, fire hydrants, and other on-site utilities, and a sidewalk extension across the adjacent public storage property to the northwest. A new bus shelter on the project site along the Cedar Boulevard frontage is also proposed to serve bus routes along Cedar Boulevard.
The required findings for a -PD overlay district can be made in the affirmative and are provided in Exhibit A of Attachment 1 of this report.
Packet Page 157
Design Review
Pursuant to NMC Section 17.34.020, design review is required for all projects that require a permit for new construction, reconstruction, rehabilitation, alteration, or other improvements to the exterior of a structure, site, or a parking area. Design review ensures that new development supports the goals and objectives of the General Plan and other adopted plans and guidelines.
Throughout the review process, the Applicant has made several enhancements and refinements to the Project. The proposed architectural style is a contemporary translation of the traditional architecture commonly found in neighborhoods synonymous to early California architecture, developed as a combination of traditional New England and Spanish styles. The proposed floor plans and elevations provide a variety of massing, wall breaks, colors, and materials that would complement and blend harmoniously with each other. Enhanced side elevations are also proposed on various buildings adjacent to entrances to the neighborhood, open space areas, and facing I-880. Further, the proposed landscaping and open space areas would complement the buildings and enhance the appearance of the site.
NMC Section 17.34.060 establishes the necessary findings for approval of design review and the required findings can be made in the affirmative and are provided in Exhibit A of Attachment 1 of this report.
Minor Use Permit
Pursuant to NMC Section 17.17.040, fences, walls, hedges, and related structures are limited to a maximum of six feet when located outside of the front yard or four feet of a street side lot line. A wall height greater than six feet may be approved with an MUP.
The Project includes an 18-foot-tall masonry sound wall along the rear property line that would wrap around the northwestern and southwestern boundaries, stepping down from a height of 18 to 10 feet from the rear to the front of the property. This wall will assist with reducing outdoor noise levels from I-880 to meet General Plan Policy EH-7.4 to limit noise levels to 60 dB in residential areas, or to the greatest extent feasible when levels are exceeded due to freeways and other noise-reduction measures. Exterior noise levels would be reduced up to 65 dB with the construction of the proposed sound wall.
The required findings for approval of an MUP for additional fence height can be made in the affirmative and are provided in Exhibit A of Attachment 1 of this report.
Vesting Tentative Map
The Applicant has submitted Vesting Tentative Tract Map 8583 to allow for a 124-lot residential subdivision on an approximately 7.76-acre site: 118 residential lots and six common lots for the private streets and common open space areas (see Attachment 1, Exhibit D). Residential lot sizes would range from 1,391 to 3,484 sq. ft. Lot A would include the private streets and courts and total 99,742 sq. ft. Lots C through F would include the common open space areas ranging from 2,405 to 10,775 sq. ft. in size. A Packet Page 158
5-foot-wide right-of-way dedication for Cedar Boulevard is also proposed at the front of the property. The City Council must deny approval of a tentative map if it makes any of the findings in California Government Code Section 66474.
The proposed tentative tract map is consistent with the General Plan as the property is developed by street and parcel improvements in conformance with applicable goals and policies. The proposed map meets the density requirement of the RM zoning district and land use designation. The proposed map and improvements would be constructed per the Planned Development Plan and satisfy the proposed conditions of approval (see Attachment 1). The project site is physically suitable for the development type and proposed density of development. Further, the proposed project was reviewed pursuant to the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), as will be discussed in the next section, and determined that it would not cause substantial environmental damage or substantially and avoidably injure fish or wildlife or their habitat.
Based on staff’s analysis and as discussed, the findings provided in Exhibit A of Attachment 1 support the approval of Vesting Tentative Tract Map 8583.
Community Meeting
The Applicant held a community meeting on December 8, 2021 at 5:30 pm at the Silliman Activity and Family Aquatic Center. Notices were sent to property owners within 500 feet of the project site inviting them to attend the meeting. The notice also included the Applicant’s contact information in the event a property owner could not attend and wanted to set up a separate time to meet and discuss the project.
There were a total of 12 participants at the meeting. During the meeting, the Applicant presented the proposed development and provided an opportunity for participants to discuss the Project and pose any questions. The Applicant answered questions about the proposed development and how the businesses currently occupying the project site would be affected and any relocation assistance that would be provided. No written comments were received.
Required Noticing
Pursuant to NMC Sections 17.31.060 and §17.35.050, on May 9, 2023, a public hearing notice was published in The Tri City Voice and mailed to all property owners within a minimum 500-foot radius of the project site, all neighborhood and community organizations that have filed a written request for notice of projects in the area where the site is located, and all persons and groups who have filed a written request for notice regarding the specific application.
FISCAL IMPACT
Packet Page 159
As described in NMC Chapter 3.24, the City has established fees that are imposed upon projects for the purpose of mitigating the impacts that the projects have upon the City's ability to provide public facilities. Based on the Fiscal Year 2022-2023 fee schedule, the Project would be subject to the following impact fees:
Park Impact: $30,580/unit
Public Safety: $4,222/unit
Community Service/Facilities: $2,827/unit
Transportation: $6,084/single-family residential unit, $3,163/townhome unit.
Since the proposed traffic signal would be identified as a priority improvement by the City, the applicant would receive a traffic impact fee credit for the total cost of the traffic signal improvements not to exceed $500,000 (see Condition of Approval gg.4 in Attachment 1, Exhibit C).
Housing Impact: $24.51/sq. ft. for the first 1,000 sq. ft. and $9.82/sq. ft. above 1,000 sq. ft.
Art in Public Places: $270/unit
Community Development Maintenance Fee: 0.5% of construction value The Applicant would be responsible for remitting the respective impact fees in effect at the time, prior to the issuance of any building permits for the Project. The collection of the impact fees is also included in the conditions of approval for the Project (see Attachment 1, Exhibit C).
ENVIRONMENTAL/PLANNING COMMISSION REVIEW
California Environmental Quality Act
Staff retained the consultant services of M-Group to prepare an Initial Study (“IS”) for the Project in accordance with the CEQA Guidelines Section 15063. The IS examined the nature and extent of potentially adverse effects on the environment that could occur if the Project is approved and implemented (see Attachment 1, Exhibit E).
Staff has reviewed the IS for the Project and based upon substantial evidence in the record, finds that all potentially significant effects of the Project, as identified in the IS, can and will be avoided or mitigated to a less than significant level through typical construction-period requirements imposed on the Project. Based on the review and pursuant to Public Resources Code Section 21080(c)(2) and CEQA Guidelines §15070, the City has prepared a Mitigated Negative Declaration (“MND”) for the Project. An MND is a statement by the City that the Project will not have a significant effect on the environment if the Project incorporates the mitigation measures identified during the environmental review process.
Public Review
The Draft IS/MND was made available for review by state agencies and the public from December 21, 2022 through January 20, 2023 on the State Clearinghouse’s website, the City’s website, and City Hall and a Notice of Intent (“NOI”) to adopt the MND was filed on December 21, 2022 to the Alameda County Clerk. Additionally, per CEQA Guidelines Section 15072(b)(3), notices were mailed to property owners within a 500’ Packet Page 160
radius of the project site on April 11, 2023 and the IS/MND was made available for their review through May 1, 2023.
Comments
The City received comments on the Draft IS/MND from the California Department of Transportation (“Caltrans”) and Alameda County Water District (“ACWD”). ACWD’s comments were received subsequent to the Planning Commission hearing and recommendation on the Project.
Caltrans requested that the existing planting and irrigation within Caltrans’ right-of-way be maintained and the proposed sound wall along the rear property line match and complement the existing walls along the I-880 corridor. Caltrans also reminded the City that any permanent work or temporary traffic control that encroaches onto Caltrans’ right-of-way will require a Caltrans encroachment permit.
ACWD’s comments were related to protection of groundwater supply and the hazardous materials, stormwater management, and utilities and service systems discussions in the IS/MND. ACWD requested that the presence of hazardous materials, unrelated to the Leaking Underground Fuel Tank (“LUFT”) cases on the project site, and potential impacts to the existing water infrastructure and groundwater supply be addressed. ACWD reminded the City that the Applicant must coordinate the design and installation of the bioretention areas with ACWD and must coordinate with ACWD on all required ACWD permits.
After review of ACWD’s comments, the Hazards and Hazardous Materials Setting discussion on page 63 of the IS/MND was revised to include a discussion of the presence of hazardous materials unrelated to the LUFT cases on the project site.
Mitigation Measure HAZ-1 was also revised to clarify that the Applicant must provide evidence to the City demonstrating that they have addressed any recognized environmental condition (“REC”) on the project site, per the direction and to the satisfaction of the applicable regulatory agencies (e.g. San Francisco Regional Water Quality Control Board (“SFRWQCB”), ACWD, Alameda County Department of Environmental Health). The applicant must also retain the services of a qualified professional to prepare a Risk Management Plan (“RMP”), which shall establish protocols and measures to address known and presently unknown environmental conditions. The RMP shall be implemented during site preparation and grading activities under the approving regulatory agency's oversight and at the applicant's cost.
Pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Section 15074, the City reviewed and considered all comments received on the IS/MND. Responses to Caltrans and ACWD’s comments are provided in Exhibit G of Attachment 1 of this report. This document serves as the Final IS/MND. The Draft IS/MND, Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Program (“MMRP”), and the CEQA Findings of Fact are provided in Exhibits B, E, and F of Attachment 1 of this report.
Planning Commission
Packet Page 161
The Planning Commission considered the Project at a regular public hearing held on March 14, 2023. Staff and the Applicant’s development team presented and answered questions from the Planning Commission. After consideration, the Planning Commission voted 4-0 (Commissioner Bogisich was absent) to recommend City Council approval of the Project.

A Planned Development (PD) plan and zoning amendment shall only be approved if the findings in NMC §17.12.060 can be made.
A. The proposed development is consistent with the general plan and any applicable specific plan, including the density and intensity limitations that apply.
The proposed development is consistent with the General Plan. The Project will have a proposed density of 21 units per net acre which is within the 14 to 30 units per net acre density envisioned for the General Plan Medium Density Residential Land Use Designation. The Packet Page 168
Resolution No. ______ 2 of 10
Project is consistent with many of Newark’s General Plan goals, policies, and actions including, but not limited to:
Policy LU-1.10 Vacant and Underutilized Sites – Encourage the development of Newark's remaining vacant and underutilized sites for their highest and best use, consistent with the designations shown on the General Plan Diagram. Future growth in the city should generally be directed to the areas identified in this General Plan. The Project proposes the envisioned land use and density for the Medium Density Residential General Plan land use designation, the land use designation for this property.
Policy LU-1.16 Planned Unit Development – Use the planned unit development approach or form based zoning codes to accommodate attractive, creative development on sites where traditional zoning standards do not achieve the best design solution. The deviations to the zoning regulations requested provides greater flexibility in the design of the development and promotes creativity in building design and innovation in development concepts. With the requested -PD overlay district, the development will result in 118 high-quality single-family residences and two-unit attached townhouses (duets).
Policy LU-2.7 Design Guidelines – Maintain design guidelines and a design review process that applies to building and site design throughout the city. The Project requires a Design Review entitlement and conforms with the required findings in NMC §17.34.060.
Policy LU-4.12 Fences and Gates – Ensure that fences, gates, railings, walls, and other site elements intended to provide safety, security, and privacy are designed to be compatible with each other, with adjacent structures, and with the neighborhood context. Fence, wall, or hedge designs which obscure lines of sight for motorists, or create potential conflicts between pedestrians and cars, should be avoided. The proposed fences, walls, and other site elements are designed to complement the building and site design and blend harmoniously with the neighborhood context.
Policy T-2.2 Pedestrian Facilities – Work to close gaps in the pedestrian network and improve sidewalk connectivity between residential and commercial areas. Develop curbs, gutters, sidewalks on all remaining Newark streets not yet fully improved to encourage safe, convenient pedestrian travel. The proposed subdivision will dedicate approximately 5,085 sq. ft. of the site’s frontage to the City’s public-right-way that will contribute towards public improvements and help close the pedestrian network gap on Cedar Boulevard between Smith Avenue and Moores Avenue. The Project will also include a sidewalk extension across the adjacent public storage property to the northwest of the project site to connect to the sidewalk in front of the adjacent residential development northwest of the public storage property.
Action T-5.A Traffic Study Requirements – Require traffic studies for major new developments to determine projected impacts on the transportation system, and the measures required to maintain adopted levels of service (LOS). The Traffic Impact Assessment prepared for the Project (see the appendices in Exhibit E) concluded that traffic generated by the Project will not cause an increase in vehicle miles traveled that will exceed applicable thresholds. The assessment also recommended coordination with the City to determine if a traffic signal should Packet Page 169
Resolution No. ______ 3 of 10
be installed at the intersection of Cedar Boulevard and Smith Avenue, a southbound left-turn pocket at the intersection of Cedar Boulevard and Mowry Avenue should be extended, and if a left turn median refuge along Cedar Boulevard in front of the Project site should be installed.
The Applicant has discussed these improvements with the City and included them as part of the Project.
Action EH-4.J Phase I Assessments – Require a Phase I Environmental Site Assessment (ESA) when a property is changed from an existing use to a more sensitive use (for example, industrial to residential). If potential hazardous materials issues are identified, ensure they are investigated and that sites are cleaned to regulatory agency standards prior to development. A Phase I ESA was prepared for the Project (see the appendices in Exhibit E) was used to prepare the environmental hazards analysis in the IS/MND for the project. As conditioned, the Project will be cleaned to regulatory agency standards prior to the grading permit stage.
Policy EH-7.4 Residential Noise Standard – Exterior – Plan for and implement strategies to maintain exterior noise levels that are consistent with the noise compatibility guidelines in Table EH-2. For residential areas, this limit is 60 dBA Ldn for outdoor living areas. Where this level is exceeded due to freeways, arterials, and/or railroads, the construction of berms, walls, buffer zones, and other noise-reduction measures to reduce noise to the greatest extent feasible will be required. The proposed 18-foot-tall masonry sound wall along the rear property line that will wrap around the northwestern and southwestern boundaries will reduce exterior noise levels up to 65 dB, which is the extent feasible due to the adjacent freeway.
Action HW-1.F Health Risk Assessments – Require submittal of a Health Risk Assessment (HRA) for applicants proposing major development or redevelopment within 1,000 feet of the I-880 or SR 84 freeways. For projects where the incremental cancer risk exceeds ten in one million, PM2.5 concentrations exceed 0.3 μg/m3, or the appropriate non-cancer hazard index exceeds 1.0, the HRA shall identify mitigation measures capable of reducing potential risks to acceptable levels. A health risk assessment was prepared for the Project (see the appendices in Exhibit E) was used to prepare the applicable analysis in the IS/MND for the project. As conditioned and with the implementation of the mitigation measures in the MMRP (see Exhibit F), the Project will reduce potential risks to acceptable levels for residential use. 2015 Housing Element Update Housing Priority #2 – Assist in the development of housing opportunities and accessibility for all economic levels in the City. The Project will create118 market-rate residential units. The Applicant will also pay the Affordable Housing Impact Fee for the Project at building permit issuance which will go into the Affordable Housing Impact Fee that will be used to fund the City’s affordable housing initiatives and programs.
Based on this analysis, this finding can be made in the affirmative.
B. Adequate transportation facilities and public services exist or will be provided in accord with the conditions of development plan approval, to serve the proposed development; and the approval of the proposed development will not result in a reduction of traffic levels of service or public services so as to be a detriment to public health, safety, or welfare.
Packet Page 170
Resolution No. ______ 4 of 10
Adequate transportation facilities and public services will be provided, and the approval of the Project will not result in a reduction of traffic levels of service or public services that will be detrimental to public health, safety, or welfare. Access to the proposed 118 units will be provided via two driveways from Cedar Boulevard and private streets within the project site.
The private streets and courts will provide direct access to the two-car garages on the ground level of each unit. The Project will include a total of 294 parking spaces. Each residence will include two garage parking spaces for a total of 236 residential parking spaces. The remaining 58 parking spaces will be for guests. The guest parking spaces will be parallel and head-in parking spaces on the private streets and a parking area at the rear of the project site.
The Project also includes several on- and offsite improvements including a new traffic signal at the Cedar Boulevard and Smith Avenue intersection, a left turn queue lane extension at the corner of Cedar Boulevard and Mowry Avenue, traffic median improvements on Cedar Boulevard, undergrounding of utilities along Cedar Boulevard including tie-ins for storm, sewer, and water, relocation of certain street lights, fire hydrants, and other on-site utilities, and a sidewalk extension across the adjacent public storage property to the northwest. A new bus shelter along the Cedar Boulevard frontage is also proposed to serve bus routes along Cedar Boulevard.
This finding can be made in the affirmative.
C. The proposed development will not have a substantial adverse effect on surrounding land uses and will be compatible with the existing and planned land use character of the surrounding area.
The Project will not have a substantial adverse effect on surrounding land uses and will be compatible with the existing and planned land use character of the surrounding area. The zoning for this site and properties north of Cedar Boulevard were rezoned to Residential Medium Density in the mid-2010’s to facilitate the conversion of the uses on these properties to residential. Since the zoning amendment was adopted, medium-density residential development has been approved and constructed northwest of the project site along Cedar Boulevard known as Cedar Townhomes. An existing single-family residential neighborhood is also located across from Cedar Boulevard and within the greater project vicinity. With the exception of a few properties with existing commercial uses along Cedar Boulevard and a school and church use across from Cedar Boulevard, the project site is generally surrounded by residential uses.
D. The development generally complies with applicable adopted design guidelines.
The overall design of the Project including its scale, massing, site plan, exterior design, landscaping, and open space areas enhances the appearance and features of the project site and its immediate surrounding. The Project promotes high-quality design and well-crafted and maintained buildings. The landscaping is compatible with and enhances the architectural character and features of the homes and helps relate the structures to the surrounding landscape.
Project details, materials, and landscaping are designed to be internally consistent, fully integrated with one another, and used in a manner that is visually consistent with the Packet Page 171
Resolution No. ______ 5 of 10
architectural design as well as the intended character of the area. The Project’s compliance with the required Design Review findings are further discussed in the next section. This finding can be made in the affirmative.
E. The proposed development is demonstratively superior to the development that could occur under the standards applicable to the underlying base district, and will achieve superior community design, environmental preservation and/or substantial public benefit.
The project site is zoned Residential Medium Density. The Project will be classified as attached and detached dwellings uses which are permitted in this zoning district. The proposed density of 21 units per net acre is also within the required density of 14 to 30 units per net acre. The deviations to the zoning regulations requested will allow the development standards to be crafted to respond to site conditions and provide for greater flexibility in the design of the developments than is otherwise possible through the strict application of zoning district regulations. It will also promote creativity in building design and innovation in development concepts. With the requested -PD overlay district, the development will result in 118 highquality single-family residences and two-unit attached townhouses (duets) which is superior to the development that could otherwise occur under the standards applicable to the underlying zoning district. This finding can be made in the affirmative.
Design Review (NMC §17.34.060)
When conducting design review, the project shall be evaluated to ensure it satisfies the criteria below to the extent applicable.
A. The overall design of the project including its scale, massing, site plan, exterior design, and landscaping will enhance the appearance and features of the project site and surrounding natural and built environment.
The overall design will enhance the appearance of the project site and surrounding environment. The proposed architectural design is a contemporary translation of early California architecture, developed as a combination of traditional New England and Spanish styles. The proposed floor plans and elevations will provide a variety of massing, wall breaks, colors, and materials. The proposed buildings will include various materials and colors that will enhance the building facades and highlight various architectural features. Enhanced side elevations are also proposed on various buildings adjacent to entrances to the neighborhood, open space areas, and facing I-880.
The proposed landscaping and common open space areas will also complement the buildings and enhance the project site and surrounding natural and built environment. The common open space areas will include various amenities such as play structures, benches, and pedestrian bridges over bioretention areas. The landscaping for the Project will feature a diverse palette of trees, shrubs, and ground cover. Planting pockets with accent plantings are proposed along the sidewalks and walkways within the site.
This finding can be made in the affirmative.
Packet Page 172
Resolution No. ______ 6 of 10
B. The project design is appropriate to the function of the project and will provide an attractive and comfortable environment for occupants, visitors, and the general community.
The proposed homes will be three stories with habitable floor areas ranging from 1,961 to 2,589 square feet (sq. ft.). The project proposes a village concept with homes staggered and set back from each other to provide visual relief and landscape opportunities. The proposed floor plans and elevations will provide a variety of massing, wall breaks, colors, and materials.
Pockets of open space areas are proposed throughout the site and will include various amenities such as play structures and benches for the enjoyment of the future residents and guests. The project site will also feature extensive use of internal paseos and walkways to facilitate internal pedestrian circulation and connections to open space areas and streets. Further, the proposed streetscape along Cedar Boulevard will enhance Cedar Boulevard with large landscape areas, street trees, a low wall to maintain a clear distinction between the public and private realm, and a meandering sidewalk to match the meandering sidewalks in front of the residential development northwest of the project site. This finding can be made in the affirmative.
C. Project details, materials, signage and landscaping, are internally consistent, fully integrated with one another, and used in a manner that is visually consistent with the proposed architectural design.
The homes will include attractive and high-quality colors and materials such as stucco, board and batten, brick and a white, brown, green, and red color palette. As mentioned, the homes will be staggered and set back from each other to provide visual relief and landscape opportunities. The proposed landscaping will complement the homes and be fully integrated with the overall design of the project. This finding can be made in the affirmative.
D. The design of streetscapes, including street trees, lighting, and pedestrian furniture, is consistent with the intended character of the area.
The proposed design of the streetscape will be consistent with the intended character of the area. The proposed streetscape along Cedar Boulevard will include large landscape areas, street trees, streetlights, a low wall to maintain a clear distinction between the public and private realm, and a meandering sidewalk to match the meandering sidewalks in front of the residential development northwest of the project site. The Project will also include a bus shelter along the Cedar Boulevard frontage and a sidewalk extension across the adjacent public storage property to the northwest of the project site to connect to the sidewalk in front of the adjacent residential development northwest of the public storage property. Further, the Project will also include offsite improvements that will enhance and be compatible with the character of the area such as traffic signal and crosswalk improvements at the Cedar Boulevard and Smith Avenue intersection and traffic median improvements in front of the project site on Cedar Boulevard.
These streetscape improvements will adhere to the City’s streetscape standards. This finding can be made in the affirmative.
E. Parking areas are designed and developed to buffer surrounding land uses; compliment pedestrian-oriented development; enhance the environmental quality of the site, including Packet Page 173
Resolution No. ______ 7 of 10
minimizing stormwater run-off and the heat-island effect; and achieve a safe, efficient, and harmonious development.
The City’s off-street parking requirement will be satisfied by the provision of a two-car garage for each unit for a total of 236 residential parking spaces. A total of 58 guest parking spaces will also be provided on the private streets and a parking area at the rear of the project site. The parking spaces will be accessed via two driveways on Cedar Boulevard and the private streets and courts throughout the project site. Pedestrian circulation will be achieved via sidewalks and interconnected pathways throughout the project site.
Landscaping along the site perimeter and throughout the site and accent plantings along the sidewalks and walkways within the site will screen the parking areas from Cedar Boulevard and help reduce the heat island effect and stormwater run-off. Bioretention areas will also be installed within common open space areas to minimize stormwater run-off.
This finding can be made in the affirmative.
F. Lighting and lighting fixtures are designed to complement buildings, be of appropriate scale, provide adequate light over walkways and parking areas to create a sense of pedestrian safety, and avoid creating glare.
The Project will include exterior wall-mounted lighting on the ground level of the proposed residences and streetlights along Cedar Boulevard, proposed Street A, and the proposed parking area at the rear of the project site. The proposed lighting will provide adequate light at building entrances and over walkways and parking areas to ensure pedestrian safety. The Project is conditioned to require all exterior lighting to not create glare off-site and comply with all applicable regulations in NMC §17.17.060. This finding can be made in the affirmative.
G. Landscaping is designed to be compatible with and enhance the architectural character and features of the buildings on site, and help relate the building to the surrounding landscape.
The Project will include landscaping around the site boundaries, open common space areas, and along the sidewalks and walkways throughout the site. The proposed landscaping will enhance the pedestrian experience as they travel throughout the site as well as pedestrians walking on the sidewalks along the Project’s street frontage. The diverse landscaping palette will be compatible with the proposed architectural design which will allow them to relate to the surrounding landscape. The Project will be required to conform to all state and local landscaping and water conservation standards. This finding can be made in the affirmative.
Minor Use Permit for Additional Wall Height (NMC Section 17.17.040) Fences, walls, hedges, and related structures are limited to a maximum of six feet when located outside of the front yard or four feet of a street side lot line. A wall height greater than six feet may be approved with a Minor Use Permit if in in compliance with the following:
Packet Page 174
Resolution No. ______ 8 of 10
A. The additional fence height will not impair the provision of adequate light, air, circulation, and visual openness around adjacent residential structures.
An 18-foot-tall masonry sound wall with plant pockets for vines is proposed along the rear property line and will wrap around the northwestern and southwestern boundaries, stepping down from a height of 18 to 10 feet from the rear to the front of the property. The proposed wall will be required to meet General Plan Policy EH-7.4 which requires the noise levels in residential areas to be limited to 60 decibels (dB), or to the greatest extent feasible when levels are exceeded due to freeways and other noise-reduction measures. The proposed wall will reduce exterior noise levels up to 65 dB. While the additional height may block natural light, the proposed wall will reduce noise from and screen the adjacent highway (I-88) which will be a greater benefit to the future residents. Based on this analysis, this finding can be made in the affirmative.
B. The additional fence height will not detract from the overall appearance of the neighborhood.
The 18-foot-tall section of the sound wall will be located at the rear of the property. It will abut I-880 and match the existing walls along the I-880 corridor. The height of the proposed sound wall will step down along the side property lines from the rear to the front of the property to a height typical for side yards on residential properties. The proposed streetscape along Cedar Boulevard will also include large landscape areas, street trees, a low wall in front of the residences, and a meandering sidewalk. Therefore, the additional height for the proposed sound wall will not detract from the overall appearance of the neighborhood. This finding can be made in the affirmative.
C. The additional fence height is not detrimental to the health, safety, and welfare of people living in the neighborhood.
The additional height for the proposed wall will be a sound barrier for the people living in the neighborhood, reducing exterior noise levels to the extent feasible. The additional height will not be detrimental to the health, safety, and welfare of people living in the neighborhood. This finding can be made in the affirmative.
Vesting Tentative Map (California Government Code §66474) A legislative body of a city or county shall deny approval of a tentative map if it makes any of the following findings:
A. That the proposed map is not consistent with applicable general and specific plans as specified in Government Code §65451.
The General Plan includes numerous goals and policies pertaining to land use and design, growth management, circulation, community facilities and utilities, open space and conservation, health, safety, and noise. The proposed vesting tentative tract map is required to abide by all applicable goals and policies included in the adopted General Plan. Generally, the proposed tentative tract map is consistent with the General Plan in that the property is Packet Page 175
Resolution No. ______ 9 of 10
developed by street and parcel improvements in conformance with applicable goals and policies. This finding can be made in the negative.
B. That the design or improvement of the proposed subdivision is not consistent with applicable general and specific plans.
The proposed subdivision meets the density requirement of 14 to 30 units per net acre specified for the RM Residential Medium Density zoning district and the Medium Density Residential General Plan land use designation. The proposed map and improvements will be constructed per Planned Development (PD) Plan (provided in Exhibit C) and satisfy the conditions of approval included in this resolution (provided in Exhibit B). Further, the proposed map will dedicate approximately 5,085 sq. ft. of the site’s frontage to the City’s public-right-way. This five-foot-wide street dedication will contribute towards public improvements and help close the pedestrian network gap on Cedar Boulevard between Smith Avenue and Moores Avenue.
Therefore, the proposed design or improvement of the proposed subdivision is consistent with the General Plan. This finding can be made in the negative.
C. That the site is not physically suitable for the type of development.
The project site is a rectangular property consisting of four legal lots bounded by a personal storage facility to the northwest, I-880 to the northeast, an Alameda County Flood Control & Water Conservation District (ACFCD) channel to the southeast, and Cedar Boulevard to the southwest. The site is generally flat and currently contains several commercial buildings used by automobile repair and parts supply shops, a large metal storage shed for parking of trailers and campers, and paved areas for circulation, parking, and storage. The site is surrounded primarily by residential uses and some commercial, industrial, church, school, and uses.
Based on the technical studies prepared for the Project (provided as appendices attached to Exhibit D), the site is physically suitable for the proposed residential development as conditioned and with the implementation of the mitigation measures in the Mitigation Monitoring & Reporting Program (see Exhibit E).
This finding can be made in the negative.
D. That the site is not physically suitable for the proposed density of development.
The proposed subdivision meets the density requirement of 14 to 30 units per net acre specified for the RM Residential Medium Density zoning district and the Medium Density Residential General Plan land use designation. Therefore, this finding can be made in the negative.
E. That the design of the subdivision or the proposed improvements are likely to cause substantial environmental damage or substantially and avoidably injure fish or wildlife or their habitat.
Staff retained the consultant services of M-Group to prepare an Initial Study (IS) for the Project in accordance with the CEQA Guidelines §15063 (see Exhibit D). The IS examined the nature and extent of potentially adverse effects on the environment that could occur if the Project is Packet Page 176
Resolution No. ______ 10 of 10
approved and implemented. Staff reviewed the IS and based upon substantial evidence in the record, find that all potentially significant effects of the project, as identified in the IS, can and will be avoided or mitigated to a less than significant level by project revisions or other requirements imposed on the project. Based on the review and pursuant to Public Resources Code Section 21080(c)(2) and CEQA Guidelines Section 15070, the City prepared a Mitigated Negative Declaration (MND) for the Project. An MND is a statement by the City that the Project will not have a significant effect on the environment if the Project incorporates revisions (mitigation measures) identified during the environmental review. The Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Program (MMRP) is provided as Exhibit E. Therefore, as conditioned, the design of the tentative tract map and the proposed improvements are not likely to cause substantial environmental damage nor substantially injure fish or wildlife or their habitat. This finding can be made in the negative.
F. That the design of the subdivision or type of improvements is likely to cause serious public health problems.
The Alameda County Fire Department (ACFD), Building Inspection Division, Engineering Division, Planning Division, and Police Department have reviewed the proposed map. Outside agencies that may be affected by the proposed development have also reviewed the proposed map. The applicant has incorporated the recommendations from each department, division, and agency as part of the project design. The Project includes condition of approval that must be addressed at various stages of the project. Therefore, the map is consistent with all applicable provisions of the City’s Subdivision Ordinance, the Subdivision Map Act, the California Fire Code, the California Building Code, and generally, applicable development standards of the Zoning Code, unless otherwise stated in the PD Plan (Exhibit C). This finding can be made in the negative.
G. That the design of the subdivision or the type of improvements will conflict with easements, acquired by the public at large, for access through or use of, property within the proposed subdivision.
The proposed improvements will not be within public easements and/or right of way. The private streets, courts, parking areas, and common open spaces areas will be maintained through an agreement between future residents, managed by a homeowner’s association. Therefore, as conditioned, the design of the map will not conflict with easements, acquired by the public at large, for access through or use of property within the proposed subdivision, in that such easements presently exist and such access will be retained, as currently provided within the Project and to adjacent public streets. This finding can be made in the negative.

P2021-002
38288-38594 Cedar Boulevard
Alameda County Assessor’s Parcel Numbers 92A-2375-002-06 and 92A-2375-022-01 The California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) requires that if an Initial Study (IS)/Mitigated Negative Declaration (MND) identifies one or more potentially significant environmental effects for a proposed project then the lead agency must make certain findings for each of those potentially significant effects. These findings must be accompanied by a brief explanation of the facts supporting each finding. (Pub. Resources Code Section 21081(a).) All CEQA project impacts and mitigation measures, including those discussed below, are analyzed in greater detail in the Project IS/MND which is included as Exhibit E. The Findings of Fact set forth below do not repeat the full discussion of impacts and mitigation measures in the IS/MND and the Record for the Project and its associated development entitlement actions. Instead, the Findings provide a summary of the description of impacts, along with a reference to the location in the IS/MND that describes in detail the setting and potentially significant impacts. The Facts that follow in turn reference the specific mitigation measures for such impacts. All Mitigation Measures (MM) are in the Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Program (MMRP) provided under Exhibit F and are incorporated herein by reference.
FINDINGS REGARDING POTENTIALLY SIGNIFICANT IMPACTS THAT WILL BE
AVOIDED OR REDUCED TO LESS-THAN-SIGNIFICANT LEVELS BY THE
IMPLEMENTATION OF MITIGATION MEASURES
AIR QUALITY IMPACT
Construction period emissions will be generated from on-site demolitions and construction activity, construction vehicle trips, and evaporative emissions which consists of vaporized fuel emitted into the atmosphere from the fuel system of a motor vehicle. Criteria air pollutant emissions would be less than significant prior to mitigation and will be reduced further with the implementation of MM AQ -1 and AQ-2 (see IS/MND pp. 29 and 32, respectively).
Project related demolition, grading, excavation and building construction activities at the project site would also temporarily generate fugitive dust in the form of PM10 and PM2.5 and larger particles that can cause nuisance impacts. The Bay Area Air Quality Management District (BAAQMD) CEQA Air Quality Guidelines recommend using specific Best Management Practices (BMPs), which has been a practical and effective approach to control fugitive dust emissions. MM AQ-1 includes the BMPs to reduce the impacts to a less-than-significant level.
Further, nearby sensitive receptors could be exposed to pollutants as a result of construction activity. The results of the health risk assessment prepared for the proposed project (see appendices in the IS/MND) indicated that a single-family residence across Cedar Boulevard to the southwest Packet Page 178
Resolution No. ______ 2 of 5
of the project site would be a maximally exposed individual (MEI), where the maximum increased cancer risks from construction exceed the respective BAAQMD single-source thresholds (greater than 10.0 per million for cancer risk). With the implementation of MM AQ-2, the cancer risk from project construction activity will be reduced to a less-than-significant level.
Finding
Based on the Record, the City Council finds that changes or alterations have been required in, or incorporated into, the Project which will avoid or mitigate the potentially significant environmental impact related to construction emissions and temporary construction activity through implementation of the MMs AQ-1 and AQ-2 as identified in the IS/MND, so that environmental effects after mitigation are reduced to a less-than-significant level.
Facts in Support of Finding
MM AQ-1 was proposed in the IS/MND to reduce and/or avoid the Project’s construction emission levels. MM AQ-1 requires the implementation of nine BMPs. MM AQ-2 was also proposed in the IS/MND to reduce diesel particulate matter and other emissions from temporary construction activity and construction equipment.
BIOLOGICAL RESOURCES IMPACT
The existing trees on the Project site could provide nesting habitat and their removal could impact migratory birds that may be nesting on these trees, which has the potential to result in a significant impact. To reduce these potential impacts to nesting birds, the Project shall be required to implement MM BIO-1 (see IS/MND pp. 36-37).
Finding
Based on the Record, the City Council finds that changes or alterations have been required in, or incorporated into, the Project which will avoid or mitigate the potentially significant environmental impact related to nesting birds through implementation of MM BIO-1 as identified in the IS/MND, so that environmental effects after mitigation are reduced to a less-than-significant level.
Facts in Support of Finding
MM BIO-1 was proposed in the IS/MND to reduce and/or avoid the Project’s impact on nesting birds during the bird nesting season. MM BIO-1 requires a pre-construction nesting bird survey conducted by a qualified biologist no more than 14 days prior to the start of construction activities.
If active nests are identified, a disturbance-free buffer shall be established based on the needs of the species. The buffer will require construction fencing along the perimeter of the buffer and biological monitoring of the active nests. No construction or earth-moving activity shall occur within any established nest protection buffer prior to September 1 unless it is determined by a qualified ornithologist/biologist that the young have fledged. Should construction activities cease for 14 consecutive days or more within the nesting season, an additional nesting bird survey shall be required prior to resuming construction if any of the existing trees remain on or are adjacent to Packet Page 179
Resolution No. ______ 3 of 5
the site.
CULTURAL RESOURCES IMPACTS
The Project will involve grading and therefore a possibility exists of an accidental discovery or recognition of an archaeological resource. Implementation of MM CUL-1 will reduce the impact to a less-than-significant level if there is the presence of undiscovered cultural resources associated with past prehistoric human occupation in the vicinity of the project site (see IS/MND, p. 42).
Findings
Based on the Record, the City Council finds that changes or alterations have been required in, or incorporated into, the Project which will avoid or mitigate the potentially significant environmental impact related to archaeological resources through implementation of MM CUL-1 as identified in the IS/MND, so that environmental effects after mitigation are reduced to a less-than-significant level.
Facts in Support of Findings
MM CUL-1 was proposed in the IS/MND to reduce and/or avoid the Project’s impacts on archaeological resources. If historic, archaeological or Native American materials or artifacts are identified during project construction, MM CUL-1 requires work within a 50-foot radius such find to cease. The City shall be notified and retain the services of a qualified archeologist and/or paleontologist to assess the significance of the find. If human remains are found, all ground disturbing activities near or in any area potentially overlying adjacent human remains shall cease, the County Coroner shall be contacted immediately, and the provisions of State law shall be carried out.
GEOLOGY AND SOILS IMPACT
The Hayward fault is approximately 2.5 miles northeast of the project site. Therefore, the potential exists for a large earthquake to induce strong to very strong ground shaking at the site during the life of the project. Implementation of MM GEO-1 will reduce the potential impact to a less-thansignificant level (see IS/MND, p. 51).
The project site is also located in a liquefaction hazard zone per California Geological Survey (CGS) Earthquake Zones of Required Investigation. The geotechnical report for the project (provided in the appendices in the IS/MND) indicates that some of the subsurface soils are prone to liquefaction when subject to seismic shaking. Implementation of MM GEO-1 will reduce the potential impact to a less-than-significant level.
Additionally, the post-tensioned slab foundations of the proposed structures must be designed to accommodate the potential settlements from building loads and liquefaction. Implementation of MM GEO-1 will result in less-than-significant impact with respect to on or offsite landslide, lateral spreading, subsidence, liquefaction, or collapse as a result of its development.

Resolution No. ______ 4 of 5
Further, the project site is anticipated to be moderately expansive. Expansive near-surface soil is subject to volume changes during seasonal fluctuations in moisture content which can cause movement and cracking of foundations, slabs, and pavements. Implementation of MM GEO-1 will reduce the potential impact related to expansive soils to a less-than-significant level.
Finding
Based on the Record, the City Council finds that changes or alterations have been required in, or incorporated into, the Project which will avoid or mitigate the potentially significant environmental impact related to seismic ground shaking, liquefaction, and expansive soils through implementation of the MMs GEO-1 and GEO-2 as identified in the IS/MND, so that environmental effects after mitigation are reduced to a less-than-significant level.
Facts in Support of Finding
MM GEO-1 has been proposed in the IS/MND to reduce and/or avoid the Project’s exposure to the risk of loss, injury, or death involving seismic ground shaking, liquefaction, and expansive soils. MM GEO-1 requires the Applicant to provide evidence that structural considerations for construction on the project site include the design parameters listed under CBC Seismic Design Criteria, and recommendations of the Project’s geotechnical report are incorporated into the Project’s grading and building plans and shall be implemented as part of the project construction.
HAZARDS AND HAZARDOUS MATERIALS IMPACT
Portions of the project site are included in one or more lists or databases maintained by state regulatory agencies pursuant to Government Code §65962.5, specifically as Leaking Underground Storage (LUST) sites. Implementation of MM HAZ-1 will reduce the impact to a less-thansignificant level (see IS/MND p. 67).
Finding
Based on the Record, the City Council finds that changes or alterations have been required in, or incorporated into, the Project which will avoid or mitigate the potentially significant environmental impact related to hazardous materials through implementation of the MM HAZ-1 as identified in the IS/MND, so that environmental effects after mitigation are reduced to a less-than-significant level.
Facts in Support of Finding
MM HAZ-1 was proposed in the IS/MND to reduce and/or avoid the Project’s exposure to hazardous materials. MM AQ-1 requires the implementation of over a dozen best management practices. These measures include, but the Applicant to provide evidence that demonstrates that the recognized environmental condition (REC ) on the site has been resolved to the satisfaction of the applicable regulatory agencies for future residential land use prior to the issuance of a grading permit for the project.

Resolution No. ______ 5 of 5
TRIBAL CULTURAL RESOURCES IMPACTS
While the project site is developed with industrial/commercial buildings and almost entirely paved, the Project would involve grading and therefore a possibility exists of an accidental discovery or recognition of a tribal cultural resource. Implementation of MM CUL-1 (described in the sections above) would reduce any potential impact to tribal cultural resources and/or burial finds, in the event they are accidentally encountered, to a less-than-significant level (IS/MND p. 99-100).
Additionally, the City notified 10 tribes on April 7, 2022 regarding the Project and one response was received from the Confederated Villages of Lisjan Tribe. The representative of this tribe indicated that they had no further information to supply about the site at this time and wished to be notified if there were any findings. Implementation of MM TC-1 will ensure the cultural resource representatives for the Confederated Villages of Lisbjan Tribe are notified in the event of an unanticipated discovery of potential tribal cultural resources or human remains are found during construction, which will reduce the impact to a less-than-significant level (IS/MND p. 107).
Findings
Based on the Record, the City Council finds that changes or alterations have been required in, or incorporated into, the Project which will avoid or mitigate the potentially significant environmental impact related to culturally sensitive sites through implementation of the MM CUL-1 and TC-1 as identified in the IS/MND, so that environmental effects after mitigation are reduced to a lessthan-significant level.
Facts in Support of Findings
MM CUL-1 was proposed in the IS/MND to reduce and/or avoid the Project’s impacts on cultural resources. MM TC-1 requires that the Confederated Villages of Lisbjan Tribe be notified within 24 hours in the event of an unanticipated discovery of potential tribal cultural resources or if human remains are found during construction. This MM also indicates MM CUL-1 applies to cultural resources as well.

Project Description
Project Location and Setting
The project site (site) is located on 38288-38594 Cedar Boulevard, Newark in Alameda County (Figure 1).
The site (APNs: 92A-2375-002-06, 092A-2375-022-01) is a 337,842 square feet (7.76 acre) rectangular property, consisting of (4) legal lots, bordered by Interstate 880 (I-880) to the northeast and Cedar Boulevard to the southwest. A public storage facility is located to the northwest of the site with industrial buildings to the southeast. Single-family residential development, which is fenced from the street by an approximately 8 foot tall masonry wall, two church buildings (Cedars Church) and a pre-school (King Kids Preschool) are located across Cedar Boulevard to the southwest of the site. Figure 2 below shows the location and context of the project site.
Figure 1: Regional Location
Currently, the site contains several commercial buildings predominantly including automotive repair, automotive parts supply shops and associated paved areas for circulation and parking for both vehicles Figure 1 Regional Location in the Bay Area.

brought in for repairs as well as employees and visitors to the site. The site also includes a large metal storage shed and parking for campers and trailers in the northwest portion of the site. Additionally, spaces in between the buildings and rear of the property are used for vehicle storage and in some areas are marked by discarded items and debris.
Vegetation in and around the site includes grown coniferous trees along Cedar Boulevard in front of the wrought iron fence, which marks the border of the site along Cedar Boulevard. A few trees or large bushes are also located in the northern portion of the site, and a hedge partially borders the site to the rear in its southern portion. Figure 3 includes a series of photographs of the site and surrounding area.

Project Characteristics
The project proposes to redevelop the subject site with a residential development containing 118 units, incorporating single family residences and two-unit attached townhouses (duets). The proposed residences range in size from 1,961 to 2,589 square feet.
The single family and duet residential units would be arranged on the site as shown on the site plan (Figure 4). Access to the units will be provide via private street on the site, which will be accessed via two Packet Page 291
City of Newark
Cedar Boulevard Residential Development Page | 10
driveways from Cedar Boulevard. The proposed residential buildings will be three stories and exhibit an architectural style that is interpretive of early California architecture developed as a combination of the traditional New England and Spanish styles with incorporation of available building materials.
The project would entail demolition of the existing buildings, paving and private utilities on site, removal of trees along the site frontage facing Cedar Boulevard and vegetation on site. Trees located across Cedar Boulevard in the street segment at the front of the site are also proposed to be removed. Additionally, the project would entail new landscaping and other associated improvements, including utility upgrades and offsite improvements.
Figure 4: Project Site Plan
Access and Circulation
As indicated above, access to the proposed development would be provided via two driveways from Cedar Boulevard. On site circulation would consist of internal roads and courts that would provide access to twocar garages with each residential unit. Pedestrian circulation within the site would occur via sidewalks and interconnected pedestrian walks.
Grading and Drainage
The project would entail grading the entire site for building pads, private streets and sidewalks, and resurfacing for open space and landscaping. The project balances the cut and fill quantities on site with 25,300 cubic yards of cut and fill each. The site currently drains toward Cedar Boulevard. The project would include bioretention areas for stormwater in four of the proposed open space areas on site, and silva cells on either side of the entrance of the northern access road to the site. The stormwater collected on site would ultimately drain into the City’s stormwater system.

City of Newark
Cedar Boulevard Residential Development Page | 11
Landscaping
The project proposes six open space areas. Four of these open spaces, two in central locations within the development (Lot D and Lot F) and one at each of the property corners (Lot B and E) adjacent to Cedar Boulevard, would incorporate bioretention areas for stormwater. The remaining two, located at the northeastern and southeastern corners of the site, would serve as dog areas. Landscaping would consist of trees along the property boundaries and trees and shrubs within the open spaces on the site.
Additionally, the project proposes planting pockets for accent plants on the sidewalks along private streets within the subject site.
An 18-foot tall masonry wall is proposed along the rear of the property adjacent to I-880. 18- to 8- foot tall masonry walls would be located along the site’s northwestern and southwestern boundaries that would step down from the rear to the front of the property The project proposes a low stucco wall along Cedar Boulevard. Five foot tall wood fences on site would create trash enclosures between buildings.
Utilities
The proposed project is located within an urbanized environment within the City of Newark where the utility infrastructure is substantially in place to which the development would connect. The project proposes undergrounding of utilities including tie-ins for storm, sewer, and water along Cedar Boulevard, and relocation of certain streetlights, fire hydrant and other on-site utilities. Existing 18 inch stormwater drainpipes in Cedar Boulevard, near the southwestern and southeastern corner of the project site, will be removed for the installation of upsized 24 inch stormwater lines to serve the project.
Off-site Improvements
The project proposes several off-site improvements as follows:
1. Two 8-foot tall masonry walls, sidewalk reconstruction, and street tree plantings and landscape installation across the subject property, on the south side of Cedar Boulevard, in the street segment fronting the residential development to the south
2. Traffic signal and crosswalk improvements at the Cedar Blvd and Smith Ave intersection
3. Traffic median improvements on Cedar Boulevard (Blvd)
4. Undergrounding of utilities along Cedar Blvd including tie-ins for storm, sewer, and water
5. Bus shelter on the project site (within private property) adjacent to Lots 68 & 111
6. Sidewalk extension across the adjacent Public Storage property to the northwest
7. Left turn queue lane extension at the corner of Cedar Blvd and Mowry Avenue Construction
Construction of the project would include the demolition of the existing buildings, grading/site preparation work, utilities installation and the construction of the 118 residential units and associated onsite and off-site improvements. Equipment used in construction would include saws, dozers, loaders, graders, scrapers, backhoes, cranes, forklifts, generators, welders, cement mixers, pavers, rollers, and air compressors that are all assumed to be diesel-fueled. It would take approximately 30-36 months to Packet Page 293
City of Newark
Cedar Boulevard Residential Development Page | 12
construct the project. The storage and location of construction equipment would be a combination of on and off-site.
Approvals Required
The proposed project requires the following entitlements from the City of Newark:
1. Planned Development Plan and Zoning Amendment from Residential Medium Density (RM) to Residential Medium Density-Planned Development (RM-PD) overlay.
2. Design Review, which is required for all projects that require a permit for new construction, reconstruction, rehabilitation, alteration, or other improvements to the exterior of a structure, site, or a parking area.
3. Minor Use Permit to allow for fence/wall height in excess of six feet; the proposed development would include walls up to 18 feet in height adjacent to I-880.
4. Vesting Tentative Subdivision Map to create 124 lots including six common and 118 residential lots on the 337,842 square feet (7.76 acre) site.

Evaluation of Environmental Impacts:
1. A brief explanation is required for all answers except “No Impact” answers that are adequately supported by the information sources a lead agency cites in the parentheses following each question.
A “No Impact” answer is adequately supported if the referenced information sources show that the impact simply does not apply to projects like the one involved (e.g., the project falls outside a fault rupture zone). A “No Impact” answer should be explained where it is based on project-specific factors, as well as general standards (e.g., the project would not expose sensitive receptors to pollutants, based on a project- specific screening analysis).
2. All answers must take account of the whole action involved, including off-site as well as on- site, cumulative as well as project-level, indirect as well as direct, and construction as well as operational impacts.
3. Once the lead agency has determined that a particular physical impact may occur, then the checklist answers must indicate whether the impact is potentially significant, less than significant with mitigation, or less than significant. “Potentially Significant Impact” is appropriate if there is substantial evidence that an effect may be significant. If there are one or more “Potentially Significant Impact” entries when the determination is made, an EIR is required.
4. “Negative Declaration: Less Than Significant With Mitigation Incorporated” applies where the incorporation of mitigation measures has reduced an effect from “Potentially Significant Impact” to a “Less Than Significant Impact.” The lead agency must describe the mitigation measures, and briefly explain how they reduce the effect to a less than significant level.
5. Earlier analyses may be used where, pursuant to the tiering, program EIR, or other CEQA process, an effect has been adequately analyzed in an earlier EIR or negative declaration. Section 15063(c)(3)(D).
In this case, a brief discussion should identify the following:
a. Earlier Analyses Used. Identify and state where they are available for review. b. Impacts Adequately Addressed. Identify which effects from the above checklist were within the scope of and adequately analyzed in an earlier document pursuant to applicable legal standards, and state whether such effects were addressed by mitigation measures based on the earlier analysis.
c. Mitigation Measures. For effects that are “Less than Significant with Mitigation Measures Incorporated,” describe the mitigation measures which were incorporated or refined from the earlier document and the extent to which they address site-specific conditions for the project.
6. Lead agencies are encouraged to incorporate into the checklist references to information sources for potential impacts (e.g., general plans, zoning ordinances). Reference to a previously prepared or outside document should, where appropriate, include a reference to the page or pages where the statement is substantiated.
7. Supporting Information Sources: A source list should be attached, and other sources used or individuals contacted should be cited in the discussion.

8. This is only a suggested form, and lead agencies are free to use different formats; however, lead agencies should normally address the questions from this checklist that are relevant to a project’s environmental effects in whatever format isselected.
9. The explanation of each issue should identify:
a. the significance criteria or threshold, if any, used to evaluate each question; and b. the mitigation measure identified, if any, to reduce the impact to less than significance.

□ □ ■ □
Aesthetics Setting
The project site is in the northeastern quadrant of the City of Newark and is in an urbanized area. It is bordered to the northeast by I-880, which is not a state designated scenic highway. Like most of Newark, the topography of the site is flat. There are no officially designated scenic vistas or view corridors in Newark. However, views of the undeveloped Coyote Hills to the northeast, of Mission Peak to the east, and of the East Bay Hills to the east and southeast are available from open spaces in the City.1 Regulatory Setting
Caltrans Scenic Highway
Caltrans maintains a map of all scenic highways in the state of California. The subject site is not adjacent to a state designated scenic highway.
City of Newark General Plan
The Newark General Plan has policies regarding aesthetics and view protection. Conformance to these policies is discussed in the impact analysis below.

Impact Analysis
a. Would the project have a substantial adverse effect on a scenic vista? The project proposes construction of 118 three-story residential units in an urbanized area. The closest open spaces to the project site are Byington Park on Central Avenue and Birch Grove Park on Birch Street, located approximately 1.1 miles and 0.8 miles, respectively, generally to the southwest of the site. There could potentially be distant views of the hills to the east from these parks. However, these views would be blocked by existing development, and therefore, the construction and operation of the project would not result in a substantial adverse effect on these views. In addition, the distant views of the hills from public roads would not be significantly impacted by the proposed project. LESS
THAN SIGNIFICANT IMPACT
b. Would the project substantially damage scenic resources, including, but not limited to, trees, rock outcroppings, and historic buildings within a state scenic highway? The project site is located adjacent to I-880, which is not a state scenic highway. The project site contains existing light industrial/commercial development and does not contain any scenic resources, rock outcroppings or historic buildings, which could be damaged by its redevelopment. NO IMPACT c. Would, in non-urbanized areas, substantially degrade the existing visual character or quality of public views of the site and its surroundings? (Public views are those that are experienced from publicly accessible vantage point). If the project is in an urbanized area, would the project conflict with applicable zoning and other regulations governing scenic quality? Newark’s scenic areas are located on the western and southern edges of the City toward the bay and shoreline areas. The project site is located near the eastern edge of the City adjacent to I-880, which is not a scenic highway. The distant views of the eastern hillsides may be available from the topmost, third story of the buildings along the rear of the project site. Low stucco walls proposed on the Cedar Boulevard side would be required to comply with Policy LU-4.12 of the City’s General Plan regarding fences and gates, and would be required to be compatible with adjacent structures and with the neighborhood context.
Policy LU-4.14 View Protection, of the City’s General Plan speaks to the protection and enhancement of panoramic views and vistas of horizon features such as Coyote Hills, Mission Peak, the East Bay and Peninsula Hills, and San Francisco Bay. As discussed under subsection (a) above, the proposed project would not have any substantial adverse impacts on scenic vistas and would not conflict with General Plan Policy LU-4.14. The project site is proposed to be zoned Residential Medium Density (RM) with Planned Development (PD) overlay. Development in the RM zoning district is subject to the supplemental regulations incorporated in Newark Municipal Code (NMC) Chapter 17.07, which pertain to project design, and provisions of NMC Chapter 17.34, Design Review. Furthermore, the PD overlay requires compliance with applicable adopted design guidelines and achievement of superior community design. The requirements of Design Review and Planned Development would ensure acceptable visual quality for the proposed project. LESS THAN SIGNIFICANT IMPACT d. Would the project create a new source of substantial light or glare which would adversely affect day or nighttime views in the area?
The area surrounding the project site contains existing lighting sources including the church complex, the residences across Cedar Boulevard to the southwest of the site, and lighting along I-880. There is existing security and other lighting on the project site. The development of the proposed project Packet Page 299
City of Newark
Cedar Boulevard Residential Development Page | 18
would introduce new lighting sources in the area. However, the lighting design would be governed by and required to comply with NMC Chapter 17.17.060, which includes standards to prevent glare on adjacent properties. The project also proposes new streetlights that are not anticipated to cause glare as they would be downward lit. Therefore neither lighting on the site or streetlights would create a source of substantial light and glare to adversely affect the day or nighttime views in the area. LESS

Regulatory Setting
Williamson Act
The Williamson Act (California Land Conservation Act of 1965) enables local governments to enter into contracts with private landowners for the purpose of restricting specific parcels of land to agricultural or related open space uses. In return, landowners receive property tax assessments which are lower than full market value of the property because they are based on farming and open space uses.
Farmland Mapping and Monitoring Program
The California Natural Resources Agency’s Farmland Mapping and Monitoring Program (FMMP) provides maps and data to decision makers to assist them in making informed decisions regarding the planning of the present and future use of California’s agricultural land resources.
Forest Land and Timberland
Public Resources Code Section 12220(g) identifies forest land as land that can support a 10 percent native tree cover of any species, including hardwoods, under natural conditions, and that allows for management of one or more forest resources, including timber, aesthetics, fish and wildlife, biodiversity, water quality, recreation, and other public benefit. Public Resources Code Section 4526 identifies timberland as land, other than land owned by the federal government and land designated by the board as experimental forest land, which is available for, and capable of, growing a crop of trees of a commercial species used to produce lumber and other forest products, including Christmas trees. Commercial species shall be determined by the board on a district basis.
Impact Analysis
a. Would the project convert Prime Farmland, Unique Farmland, Farmland of Statewide Importance (Farmland), as shown on the maps prepared pursuant to the Farmland Mapping and Monitoring Program of the California Resources Agency, to non-agricultural use? There is no Prime Farmland, Unique Farmland, or Farmland of Statewide Importance within the City of Newark. The subject site is shown as “Urban and Built Up Land” on the most recent maps prepared pursuant to the Farmland Mapping and Monitoring Program of the California Resources Agency3. NO IMPACT
b. Would the project conflict with existing zoning for agricultural use, or a Williamson Act contract? The project site is not zoned for agricultural use. The subject site is currently developed with commercial/light industrial uses. The surrounding properties are also developed with similar and residential and institutional uses. There is no agricultural or forest land in the vicinity. In addition, the property is not subject to a Williamson Act Contract. NO IMPACT. c. Would the project conflict with existing zoning for, or cause rezoning of, forest land (as defined in Public Resources Code Section 12220(g)), timberland (as defined by Public Resources Code Section 4526), or timberland zoned Timberland Production (as defined by Government Code Section 51104(g))?

The project site is proposed to be rezoned from RM: Medium Density Residential to RM: Medium Density Residential with Planned Development (PD) overlay. The RM zoning district allows for residential uses and residential uses may be allowed as part of planned development. The site is currently developed with a light industrial/commercial building and does not contain any forest land (as defined in Public Resources Code Section 12220(g)), or timberland (as defined by Public Resources Code Section 4526). NO IMPACT
d. Would the project result in the loss of forest land or conversion of forest land to non-forest use? The project site is currently developed for light industrial/commercial use and would be developed for residential use. NO IMPACT
e. Would the project involve other changes in the existing environment, which, due to their location or nature, could result in conversion of Farmland to non-agricultural use or conversion of forest land to non-forest use?
The proposed project would result in a conversion of a light industrial/commercial use to a residential use. The immediate vicinity of the project site is characterized by light industrial/commercial, residential and institutional development with the general vicinity being built up land.
As noted above, there is no Prime Farmland, Unique Farmland, or Farmland of Statewide Importance within the City of Newark. There is no active timberland production, forest resources, or timberland resource zones in the general vicinity of the site. NO IMPACT.

Air Quality Setting
The project site is located adjacent to I-880 in the City of Newark, which is in Alameda County and within the San Francisco Bay Area Air Basin (SFBAAB). The Bay Area Air Quality Management District (BAAQMD) is the regional agency tasked with managing air quality in the region with jurisdiction over the nine-county San Francisco Bay Area Air Basin, which includes San Francisco, Alameda, Contra Costa, Marin, San Mateo, Santa Clara, and Napa Counties and portions of Sonoma and Solano Counties. The California Air Resources Board (CARB), which is a part of the California Environmental Protection Agency (CEPA), oversees regional air district activities and regulates air quality at the state level.
Ambient air quality standards (AAQS) have been established at both the federal and state level. The U.S.
Environmental Protection Agency (USEPA) has established national AAQS for six of the most common air pollutants— carbon monoxide, lead, ground-level ozone, particulate matter, nitrogen dioxide, and sulfur dioxide. These pollutants are known as “criteria air pollutants” or “criteria pollutants”.
High ozone levels are caused by the cumulative emissions of reactive organic gases (ROG) and nitrogen oxides (NOx). These precursor pollutants react under certain meteorological conditions to form high ozone levels. Controlling the emissions of these precursor pollutants is the focus of the Bay Area’s attempts to reduce ozone levels. The highest ozone levels in the Bay Area occur in the eastern and southern inland valleys that are downwind of air pollutant sources. High ozone levels aggravate respiratory and cardiovascular diseases, reduce lung function, and increase coughing and chest discomfort.
Particulate matter is assessed and measured in terms of respirable particulate matter or particles that have a diameter of 10 micrometers or less (PM10) and fine particulate matter where particles have a diameter of 2.5 micrometers or less (PM2.5). Elevated concentrations of PM10 and PM2.5 are the result of both region-wide (or cumulative) emissions and localized emissions. High particulate matter levels Packet Page 304
City of Newark
Cedar Boulevard Residential Development Page | 23
aggravate respiratory and cardiovascular diseases, reduce lung function, increase mortality (e.g., lung cancer), and result in reduced lung function growth in children.
Toxic Air Contaminants (TAC) are a broad class of compounds known to cause morbidity or mortality (usually because they cause cancer) and include, but are not limited to, the criteria air pollutants. TACs are found in ambient air, especially in urban areas, and are caused by industry, agriculture, fuel combustion, and commercial operations (e.g., dry cleaners). TACs are typically found in low concentrations, even near their source (e.g., diesel particulate matter [DPM] near a freeway). Because chronic exposure can result in adverse health effects, TACs are regulated at the regional, state, and federal level. Diesel exhaust is the predominant TAC in urban air and is estimated to represent about threequarters of the cancer risk from TACs (based on the Bay Area average).
The Bay Area meets all ambient air quality standards with the exception of ground-level ozone, respirable particulate matter (PM10), and fine particulate matter (PM2.5). As such the Bay Area is a “non-attainment area” for ground level ozone, PM10 and PM2.5 in that it does not meet the federal or state ambient air quality standards for these “criteria pollutants”.
Regulatory Setting
Federal
The Federal Clean Air Act (FCAA) is the foundation for a national air pollution control effort, and it is composed of the following basic elements: National AAQS for criteria air pollutants, hazardous air pollutant standards, state attainment plans, motor vehicle emissions standards, stationary source emissions standards and permits, acid rain control measures, stratospheric ozone protection, and enforcement provisions.
The USEPA is responsible for administering the FCAA. The USEPA has classified air basins or portions thereof as either "attainment" or "nonattainment" for each criteria air pollutant, based on whether or not the national AAQS have been achieved, pursuant to amendments to the FCAA.
State
The California Clean Air Act (CCAA), which is patterned after the FCAA, was first signed into law in 1988, provides a comprehensive framework for air quality planning and regulation, and defines, through statute, the state’s air quality goals, planning and regulatory strategies, and performance. The CCAA requires all areas of the state to achieve and maintain the California AAQS. The California AAQS are generally more restrictive than the national AAQS. The CCAA also require areas to be designated as "attainment" or "nonattainment" for the California AAQS. Thus, areas in California have two sets of attainment designations:
one set with respect to the NAAQS and one set with respect to the CAAQS. The SFAAB is currently designated as a “nonattainment” area for state and national ozone standards, state particulate matter (PM10 and PM2.5) standards, and the federal PM2.5 (24-hour) standard (BAAQMD, 2017a).
Regional
BAAQMD 2017 Clean Air Plan
The BAAQMD’s most recent adopted plan is the Bay Area 2017 Clean Air Plan: Spare the Air, Cool the Climate (2017 CAP), adopted on April 19, 2017, to comply with state air quality planning requirements set forth in the California Health & Safety Code. The primary goals of the 2017 Bay Area Clean Air Plan are to Packet Page 305
City of Newark
Cedar Boulevard Residential Development Page | 24
attain state and federal AAQS, eliminate disparities among Bay Area communities in cancer health risk from toxic air contaminants, and reduce Bay Area greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions to 40 percent below 1990 levels by 2030 and 80 percent below 1990 levels by 2050.
The 2017 CAP includes a comprehensive strategy of 85 specific control measures targeting a variety of local, regional, and global pollutants. The control measures have been developed for stationary sources, transportation, energy, buildings, agriculture, natural and working lands, waste management, water, and super-GHG pollutants. A number of control measures are designed to promote mixed use, compact development to reduce vehicle emissions and exposure to pollutants from stationary and mobile sources.
Implementation of some of the control measures could involve retrofitting, replacing, or installing new air pollution control equipment, changes in product formulations, or construction of infrastructure to reduce conditions that have the potential to create air quality impacts.
In general, a project is considered consistent with the 2017 Clean Air Plan if:
1. The project supports the primary goals of the CAP,
2. The project includes control measures, and
3. The project does not interfere with implementation of the CAP measures.
BAAQMD 2017 CEQA Air Quality Guidelines
The BAAQMD CEQA Guidelines set forth criteria for determining consistency with the CAP. These guidelines aim to assist lead agencies in evaluating air quality impacts of projects and plans proposed in the SFBAAB. The Guidelines contain instructions on how to evaluate, measure, and mitigate air quality impacts generated from land development construction and operation activities. The guidelines focus on criteria air pollutants, GHGs, TACs, and odor emissions generated from plans or projects and are intended to help lead agencies navigate through the CEQA process. The guidelines for implementation of the thresholds are for information purposes only to assist local agencies. Recommendations in the guidelines are advisory and should be followed by local governments at their own discretion.
The most recent version of the CEQA Air Quality Guidelines were published May 2017, and includes revisions to address the California Supreme Court’s opinion (California Building Industry Association v. Bay Area Air Quality Management District, December 2015)4. The updated guidelines include the existing significance thresholds and provide quantitative screening criteria for various types of development projects allowing for streamlined review of projects that would be considered to have a less than significant impact to air quality due to their size. The updated guidelines do not address outdated references, links, analytical methodologies or other technical information that may be in the guidelines or Thresholds Justification Report. The Thresholds of Significance Justification Report presents the BAAQMD’s thresholds of significance for use in determining whether a proposed project will have a
4. The case involved a challenge to BAAQMD’s adoption of new CEQA thresholds of significance for air pollutants, including Toxic Air Contaminant (TAC) “receptor thresholds” – thresholds for “new receptors” consisting of residents and workers who will be brought to the area as a result of a proposed project – and thresholds for GHGs and PM2.5. The California Supreme Court held that ““agencies subject to CEQA generally are not required to analyze the impact of existing environmental conditions on a project‘s future users or residents. But when a proposed project risks exacerbating those environmental hazards or conditions that already exist, an agency must analyze the potential impact of such hazards on future residents or users. In those specific instances, it is the project’s impact on the environment – and not the environment’s impact on the project – that compels an evaluation of how future residents or users could be affected by exacerbated conditions.” Packet Page 306

significant impact on climate change and provides the substantial evidence that lead agencies will need to support their use of these thresholds. The BAAQMD is currently working to update any outdated information in the Guidelines.
On April 20, 2022, the BAAQMD adopted updated CEQA Thresholds for GHG for Evaluating the Significance of Climate Impacts From Land Use Projects and Plans. These thresholds are discussed under the “Greenhouse Gas Emissions” resource area of this initial study. The BAAQMD 2017 CEQA Air Quality Thresholds of Significance (with the exception of GHG thresholds) are summarized in Table 1 below.

Discussion of the air quality impacts of the project that follows is based on the analysis presented in the Air Quality, Greenhouse Gas and Health Risk Assessment, dated September 2022, prepared by ESA for the project.
Impact Analysis
a. Would the project conflict with or obstruct implementation of the applicable air quality plan? BAAQMD, with assistance from the Association of Bay Area Governments (ABAG) and Metropolitan Transportation Commission (MTC), has prepared and implements specific plans to meet the Packet Page 307
City of Newark
Cedar Boulevard Residential Development Page | 26
applicable laws, regulations, and programs. The Bay Area 2017 Clean Air Plan is the most recent comprehensive air quality plan.
As indicated above under “Regulatory Setting”, a project is considered consistent with the CAP if: (1) the project supports the primary goals of the CAP, (2) includes control measures and (3) does not interfere with implementation of the CAP measures. In formulating compliance strategies, BAAQMD relies on planned land uses established by local general plans, which must show consistency with the control measures listed within the Clean Air Plan.
The primary goals of the 2017 CAP are to attain air quality standards, reduce population exposure to pollutants, protect public health within the SFAAB, and reduce GHG emissions and protect the climate.
Any project that would not support these goals would not be considered consistent with the 2017 CAP.
The 2017 Clean Air Plan does not include project level control measures. As a result, the recommended approach for determining project support of 2017 Clean Air Plan goals is consistency with BAAQMD-approved CEQA thresholds of significance (i.e. the attainment of criteria air pollutant emissions thresholds and health risk standards). The proposed project would not conflict with the goals of the 2017 Clean Air Plan as it would have emissions below the BAAQMD thresholds, as shown in section b, below. Therefore, per BAAQMD guidance, the project would support the primary goals of the 2017 CAP.
Additionally, the project is urban infill and located near transit with regional connections through bus stops located at the junction of Cedar Boulevard and Central Boulevard, approximately 0.5 miles from the project site. The project itself includes a bus shelter on the project site, on the Cedar Boulevard side as part of associated improvements. Such access to transit would serve to reduce vehicular trips.
These project features would ensure consistency of the project with the transportation sector control measures in the 2017 CAP.
The project would be required to comply with the California Green Building (CalGreen) Code and Title 24 building energy efficiency requirements, and would include energy saving features such as high efficiency lighting and water heaters, in addition to solar panels. Additionally, the City would require project compliance with CalGreen residential code requirements ensuring consistency with the control measures in the energy and building sectors of the 2017 CAP.
Since the project would not create a conflict with the feasible control measures and would not interfere with the implementation of the CAP measures, the project would not obstruct the implementation of the 2017 Clean Air Plan. LESS THAN SIGNIFICANT IMPACT b. Would the project result in a cumulatively considerable net increase of any criteria pollutant for which the project region is non-attainment under an applicable federal or state ambient air quality standard (including releasing emissions that exceed quantitative thresholds for ozone precursors)? As discussed under “Air Quality Setting“ above, the Bay Area is considered a non-attainment area for ground-level O3 and PM2.5 under both the Federal Clean Air Act and the California Clean Air Act, and considered non-attainment for PM10 under the California Clean Air Act. The area has attained both state and federal ambient air quality standards for carbon monoxide.
As part of an effort to attain and maintain ambient air quality standards for O3, PM2.5 and PM10, the BAAQMD has established thresholds of significance for these air pollutants and their precursors.
These thresholds apply to both construction and operations impacts.
Packet Page 308
City of Newark
Cedar Boulevard Residential Development Page | 27
Construction Impacts
Construction period emissions would be generated from on-site demolitions and construction activity, construction vehicle trips, and evaporative emissions which consists of vaporized fuel emitted into the atmosphere from the fuel system of a motor vehicle. The proposed project’s air quality analysis uses the California Emissions Estimator Model (CalEEMod)5, version 2016.3.2 to calculate construction emissions associated with land use projects based on land use types and size, and anticipated construction schedule.
The methodology and outputs of this analysis is described in detail in the report (Appendix 1). Table 26 below summarizes the results of this analysis, which shows that the project construction would not exceed BAAQMD thresholds for ozone precursors (ROG and NOx) and criteria pollutants. As noted in the table below, criteria air pollutant emissions would be less than significant prior to mitigation and would be reduced further with implementation of Mitigation Measures AQ -1 and AQ-2.
Additionally, it is noted that the CalEEMod modeling is based on construction commencing in October of 2021, which has passed with construction on the project not having yet commenced. However, emission factors within CalEEMod would decrease into future years because of improvements in vehicle technology and cleaner construction equipment. Therefore, the project’s air quality analysis can be considered to have over-estimated project emissions.
Project related demolition, grading, excavation and building construction activities at the project site, however, would temporarily generate fugitive dust in the form of PM10 and PM2.5 and also larger particles that can cause nuisance impacts. Sources of fugitive dust would include disturbed soils at the construction site and trucks carrying uncovered loads of soils. Unless properly controlled, vehicles leaving the site would deposit mud on local streets, which could be an additional source of airborne dust after it dries. For mitigation of fugitive dust emissions, the BAAQMD CEQA Air Quality Guidelines recommend using specific Best Management Practices (BMPs), which has been a practical and effective approach to control fugitive dust emissions. The guidelines note that individual measures have been shown to reduce fugitive dust by anywhere from 30 percent to more than 90 percent and consider fugitive dust impacts to be less-than-significant if best management practices (BMPs) are implemented to reduce these emissions. Mitigation Measure AQ-1 includes the BMPs that are all “Basic Construction Mitigation Measures” recommended by BAAQD for all projects whether or not construction related emissions exceed applicable thresholds of significance7. 5 CalEEMod is an emissions estimation model that calculates all emissions associated with land use projects. This model is regulatory-approved for CEQA projects and has been developed by, or in coordination with, the California Air Resources Board (CARB).
6 The table includes both unmitigated emissions and mitigated emissions, the latter of which includes the use of Tier 4 Final offroad construction equipment. The mitigation is not required for criteria pollutant emissions because the unmitigated construction emissions are below the BAAQMD thresholds. The mitigation is required for health risks, which are discussed in item “c”. 7 BAAQMD recommends additional construction mitigation measures for all projects that exceed the applicable thresholds of significance. Since the project’s construction emissions would not exceed the threshold of significance as shown in the table above, Mitigation Measure AQ-1 includes the “Basic Construction Mitigation Measures” Packet Page 309

Mitigation Measure
AQ-1. The project’s construction plans shall include the Bay Area Air Quality Management District’s (BAAQMD) Best Management Practices for fugitive dust control that shall be implemented for all construction activities in the project area, as follows:
i. All exposed surfaces (e.g., parking areas, staging areas, soil piles, graded areas, and unpaved access roads) shall be watered two times per day.
ii. All haul trucks transporting soil, sand, or other loose material off-site shall be covered. iii. All visible mud or dirt track-out onto adjacent public roads shall be removed using wet power vacuum street sweepers at least once per day. The use of dry power sweeping is prohibited. iv. All vehicle speeds on unpaved roads shall be limited to 15 mph. v. All streets, driveways, and sidewalks to be paved shall be completed as soon as possible.
Building pads shall be laid as soon as possible after grading unless seeding or soil binders are used.
Packet Page 311

Cedar Boulevard Residential Development Page | 30
vi. Idling times shall be minimized either by shutting equipment off when not in use or reducing the maximum idling time to 5 minutes (as required by the California airborne toxics control measure Title 13, Section 2485 of California Code of Regulations [CCR]). vii. Clear signage shall be provided for construction workers at all access points. viii. All construction equipment shall be maintained and properly tuned in accordance with manufacturer’s specifications. All equipment shall be checked by a certified mechanic and determined to be running in proper condition prior to operation. ix. A publicly visible sign shall be posted with the telephone number and person to contact at the Lead Agency regarding dust complaints. This person shall respond and take corrective action within 48 hours. The Air District’s phone number shall also be visible to ensure compliance with applicable regulations.
LESS THAN SIGNIFICANT WITH MITIGATION INCORPORATED
c. Would the project expose sensitive receptors to substantial pollutant concentrations? California Air Resources Board (CARB) identifies children under 16, the elderly over 65, athletes, and people with cardiovascular and chronic respiratory diseases as sensitive receptors. Locations that may contain a high concentration of these sensitive population groups include residential areas, hospitals, daycare facilities, elder care facilities, elementary schools, and parks.
For cancer risk assessments, children are the most sensitive receptors, since they are more susceptible to cancer causing toxic air contaminants (TACs). Residential locations are assumed to include infants and small children. Development across Cedar Boulevard to the southwest of the project site is predominantly residential. There may also be potential sensitive receptors in the preschool in the same general vicinity of the project site. Impacts related to increased community risk can occur either by introducing a new source of TACs during construction and operation with the potential to adversely affect existing sensitive receptors in the project vicinity.
Construction Impact
The potential for the project to expose sensitive receptors to substantial pollutant concentrations is associated mainly with construction emissions, which involve diesel combustion equipment. Project construction activity would generate dust; construction equipment and associated heavy-duty truck traffic would generate diesel exhaust or diesel particulate matter (DPM), which is a known TAC due to its potential to cause cancer. Nearby sensitive receptors could be exposed to these pollutants as a result of construction activity.
The health risk assessment prepared for the proposed project evaluated potential health effects to nearby sensitive receptors to find the maximally exposed individuals (MEIs) from emissions of DPM and PM2.5 exhaust emissions from heavy construction equipment and trucks, and PM2.5 fugitive road dust from construction activities. The assessment methodology and analysis are described in detail in the report included as Appendix 1.
Results of this assessment indicated that the MEIR is in a single-family residence across Cedar Boulevard to the southwest of the project site (Figure 2, Appendix 1), where the maximum increased cancer risks from construction exceed the respective BAAQMD single-source thresholds (greater than
10.0 per million for cancer risk). The noncancer hazards from construction activities would be below Packet Page 312
City of Newark
Cedar Boulevard Residential Development Page | 31
the single-source significance threshold of 1.0. The annual average PM2.5 concentrations would also be below the BAAQMD significance threshold of 0.3 μg/m. Table 4 below summarizes these results.

Source: 38478 Cedar Boulevard Project. Air Quality & Greenhouse Gas and Health Risk Assessment, September 2022, ESA Table 4 also presents a mitigated cancer risk value modeled with all equipment meeting U.S. EPA Tier 4 Final emissions standards. This mitigated scenario reduces the risks down to approximately 1 in one million, which is well below the BAAQMD threshold of 10 in one million. Therefore, Mitigation Measure AQ 2 is required to reduce the cancer risk from project construction activity to a less than significant level.
Operations Impact
The proposed project being a residential development, would not generate substantial truck traffic or include stationary sources of emissions, such as generators powered by diesel engines. The majority of operational phase emissions from the project would be from gasoline-fueled passenger vehicles, which do not emit substantial amounts of TACs. Additionally, emissions from automobile traffic generated by the proposed project would be spread out over a broad geographical area and not localized because the trips going to and from the project would be dispersed to varied destinations.
Therefore, operation of the proposed project is not expected to be a source of TAC or localized air pollutant emissions.
Cumulative Impact
Consistent with BAAQMD’s CEQA Guidelines, the project’s Health Risk Assessment (HRA) evaluates health risk from cumulative exposure to PM2.5, DPM, and other nearby sources of TACs for the MEIR that include three stationary, permitted automobile repair and body shops within 1,000 feet of the project site and mobile sources of TAC emitting DPM as well as volatile organic compounds in gasoline.
Given that two of the automobile repair shops do not have any health risk values reported by the BAAQMD for cancer risk or PM2.5 concentrations and the third will be demolished prior to the construction of the proposed project, the HRA determines mobile sources as the only exiting sources of cumulative health risk at the MEIR.

Table 5 below shows both cumulative cancer risk with unmitigated and mitigated construction activity related to the project. As shown, both unmitigated and mitigated cancer risk impacts are below the BAAQMD cumulative cancer risk threshold of 100 per million, and both the unmitigated and mitigated cumulative PM2.5 concentrations are below the BAAQMD cumulative threshold of 0.8 μ/m3. The methodology for this analysis is described in detail in the project’s HRA (Appendix 1).

A public storage facility is located to the northwest of the site with industrial buildings to the southeast. Single-family residential development, two church buildings (Cedars Church) and a pre-school (King Kids Preschool) are located across Cedar Boulevard to the southwest of the site. Existing development on the site itself consists of several commercial buildings and paved areas for circulation and parking for both vehicles brought in for repairs as well as employees and visitors to the site, and vehicle storage on site. The 2013 General Plan Tune Up Draft EIR did not identify any biologic resources on the project site or surrounding area.

Regulatory Setting
Federal and State
Special Status Species
Individual plant and animal species listed as rare, threatened or endangered under federal and state Endangered Species Acts are considered ‘special-status species.’ Federal and state “endangered species” legislation has provided the United States Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS) and the California Department of Fish and Wildlife (CDFW) with a mechanism for conserving and protecting plant and animal species of limited distribution and/or low or declining populations.
Permits may be required from both the USFWS and CDFW if activities associated with a proposed project will result in the “take” of a species listed as threatened or endangered. To “take” a listed species, as defined by the State of California, is “to hunt, pursue, catch, capture, or kill, or attempt to hunt, pursue, catch, capture or kill said species. “Take” is more broadly defined by the federal Endangered Species Act to include “harm” of a listed species.
In addition to species listed under state and Federal Endangered Species Acts, Subsections15380(b) and (c) of the CEQA Guidelines provide that all potential rare or sensitive species, or habitats capable of supporting rare species, are considered for environmental review per the CEQA Guidelines. These may include plant species of concern in California listed by the California Native Plant Society and CDFW listed “Species of Special Concern.”
Migratory Bird and Birds of Prey Protections
The Federal Migratory Bird Treaty Act (MBTA) prohibits killing, possessing, or trading in migratory birds except in accordance with regulations prescribed by the Secretary of the Interior. This act encompasses whole birds, parts of birds, and bird nests and eggs. Construction disturbance during the breeding season could result in the incidental loss of fertile eggs or nestlings, or otherwise lead to nest abandonment, a violation of the MBTA. Additionally, nesting birds are considered special-status species and are protected by the USFWS. The CDFW also protects migratory and nesting birds under California Fish and Game Code Section3503, 3503.5, and 3800. The CDFW defines taking as causing abandonment and/or loss of reproductive efforts through disturbance.
Sensitive Habitats
Wetland and riparian habitats are considered sensitive habitats under CEQA. They are also afforded protection under applicable federal, state, and local regulations, and are generally subject to regulation, protection, or consideration by the US Army Corps of Engineers (USACE), Regional Water Quality Control Board (RWQCB), CDFW, and/or the USFWS under provisions of the Federal Clean Water Act, which is codified in Title 33 of the Code of Federal Regulations (CFR), and State of California Porter-Cologne Water Quality Control Act.
CDFW Stream/Riparian Habitat
Streambeds and banks, as well as associated riparian habitat, are regulated by the CDFW per Fish and Wildlife Code Section 1602. Work within the bed or banks of a stream or the adjacent riparian habitat requires a Streambed Alteration Agreement from the CDFW.

General Plan
The City’s General Plan contains several Goals, Policies and Actions for protection of biological resources.
These goals, policies and actions are outlined on pg. CS-22 to CS-27 of the General Plan document.
Municipal Code
NMC Chapter 8.16, Preservation of Trees on Private Property, accords protection to any live woody plant having one or more well defined perennial stems with a trunk diameter of six inches or greater, measured at four feet above ground level growing within the City limits on any parcels of land except developed residential parcels of land 10,000 square feet or less in area. A permit from the Public Works Director is required to cut down, destroy, remove or move such trees.
Impact Analysis
a. Would the project have a substantial adverse effect, either directly or through habitat modifications, on any species identified as candidate, sensitive, or special status in local or regional plans, policies, or regulations, or by the California Department of Fish and Wildlife or the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service? Currently, the Projectsite is developed with commercial buildings and extensive paving for associated parking and access driveway. Vegetation in and around the site includes grown coniferous trees along Cedar Boulevard in front of the subject property. A few trees or large bushes are also located in the northern portion of the site, and a hedge partially borders the site to the rear in its southern portion.
The existing building would be demolished and existing vegetation inside and in front of the property, including 28 trees (Appendix 2) removed to make way for the proposed project.
The existing trees could provide nesting habitat and their removal could impact migratory birds that may be nesting on these trees, which has the potential to result in a significant impact. To reduce these potential impacts to nesting birds, the project shall be required to implement Mitigation Measure BIO-1.
Mitigation Measure
BIO-1 Should the demolition and construction activities commence during the bird nesting season (February 1 to August 31), a pre-construction nesting bird survey shall be conducted by a qualified biologist no more than 14 days prior to the start of construction activities. Areas within 300 to 500 feet of construction shall be surveyed for active nests. Should active nests be identified, a disturbance-free buffer shall be established based on the needs of the species. The radius of the required buffer zone can vary depending on the species, (i.e., 75-100 feet for passerines and 200-500 feet for raptors), with the dimensions of any required buffer zones to be determined by a qualified biologist in consultation with California Department of Fish and Wildlife (CDFW).
To delineate the buffer zone around the occupied habitat, construction fencing shall be placed at the specified radius from the nest within which no machinery or workers shall intrude. The buffer zone shall be maintained and biological monitoring of active nests shall be conducted by a qualified biologist to ensure that nests are not disturbed and that buffers are appropriate adjusted by a qualified biologist as needed to avoid disturbance. No construction or earth-moving activity shall occur within any established nest protection buffer prior to September 1 unless it is determined by a qualified ornithologist/biologist that the young have fledged (that is, left the nest), have attained Packet Page 318
City of Newark
Cedar Boulevard Residential Development Page | 37
sufficient flight skills to avoid project construction zones, that the nesting cycle is otherwise completed or the nest has failed. Should construction activities cease for 14 consecutive days or more within the nesting season, an additional nesting bird survey shall be required prior to resuming construction if any of the existing trees remain on or are adjacent to the site. Results of the preconstruction nesting bird survey shall be submitted to the City of Newark. LESS THAN SIGNIFICANT WITH

b. Would the project have a substantial adverse effect on any riparian habitat or other sensitive natural community identified in local or regional plans, policies, or regulations, or by the California Department of Fish and Wildlife or U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service? As indicated above, the subject site is extensively developed under existing conditions. It is surrounded by urban development and is adjacent to I-880, which is a heavily traveled corridor by automobiles. There are no creeks or riparian habitat or other sensitive natural community on or in the vicinity of the project site. Therefore, the project will not have any impact in this regard. NO IMPACT
c. Would the project have a substantial adverse effect on federally protected wetlands as defined by Section 404 of the Clean Water Act (including, but not limited to, marsh, vernal pool, coastal, etc.) through direct removal, filling, hydrological interruption, or other means? There is no presence of wetlands or other water bodies on or in the vicinity of the project site. NO IMPACT
d. Would the project interfere substantially with the movement of any native resident or migratory fish or wildlife species or with established native resident or migratory wildlife corridors, or impede the use of native wildlife nursery sites?
The project site is urban and is surrounded by fences, buildings, and other barriers (e.g. I-880) to the movement of fish and wildlife species. There are no onsite water bodies on the site. There is no evidence of resident or migratory fish or wildlife species, established native resident or migratory wildlife corridors or native wildlife nursey sites on or in the immediate vicinity of the site where the development of the project could interfere with the movement of any native resident or migratory fish or wildlife species or with established native resident or migratory wildlife corridors, or impede the use of native wildlife nursery sites. NO IMPACT
e. Would the project conflict with any local policies or ordinances protecting biological resources, such as a tree preservation policy or ordinance?
NMC Chapter 8.16 governs the preservation of trees on private property. The City is not aware of any evidence of special status plant and animal species on the project site, and tree removal of trees on the project site with a trunk diameter of six inches or greater, measured at four feet above ground level shall require a permit from the City’s Public Works Director. The grown coniferous trees at the front of the property are in the public right of way of Cedar Boulevard. These trees shall be removed in accordance with the applicable regulations of the Public Works Department and new trees planted as part of improvements associated with the proposed project. The removal of trees in accordance with the provisions of Chapter 8.16 will not result in a conflict with local policies or ordinances. LESS

Cultural Resources Setting
Cultural resources are defined as prehistoric and historic sites, structures, and districts, or any other physical evidence associated with human activity considered important to a culture, a subculture, or a community for scientific, traditional, religious or any other reason. Cultural resources may be categorized into three groups: historic resources, archaeological resources and Native American resources.
No historic resources in Newark have been placed on the National Register of Historic Places or California Register of Historic Resources. The City of Newark’s Historic Preservation Program developed in 1989, provides a list of 42 buildings in Newark of “historic merit” with ownership, address, and ranking.
Native American cultural resources in western Alameda County are typically found near the Bay shore and adjacent to other seasonal and perennial watercourses. Over 50 archeological sites have been documented along the Bay shore from Richmond to Newark.9 The projectsite, however, is located inland with no presence of watercourses on or in the vicinity of the site.

The National Historic Preservation Act (NHPA) was passed in 1966 and established the Advisory Council on Historic Preservation (ACHP), State Historic Preservation Offices (SHPO), the National Register of Historic Places (NRHP), and Section 106 review process. The National Register of Historic Places (NRHP), established under the National Historic Preservation Act (NHPA), is a comprehensive inventory of known historic resources throughout the United States. The National Register is administered by the National Park Service and includes buildings, structures, sites, objects, and districts that possess historic, architectural, engineering, archaeological or cultural significance. National Register Bulletin Number 15, How to Apply the National Register Criteria for Evaluation, describes the Criteria for Evaluation as being composed of two factors. First, the property must be “associated with an important historic context,” and second the property must retain integrity of those features necessary to convey its significance.

The National Register identifies four possible context types or criteria, at least one of which must be applicable at the National, State, or local level. As listed under Section 8, “Statement of Significance,” of the National Register of Historic Places Registration Form, these are:
a. Property is associated with events that have made a significant contribution to the broad patterns of our history.
b. Property is associated with the lives of persons significant in our past. c. Property embodies the distinctive characteristics of a type, period, or method of construction or represents the work of a master, or possesses high artistic values, or represents a significant and distinguishable entity whose components lack individual distinction. d. Property has yielded, or is likely to yield, information important to prehistory or history.
Upon determination of a resource’s significance, an evaluation of a potential resource’s integrity should be performed, where integrity is defined as the ability to convey significance. There are seven aspects of integrity including location, design, setting, materials, workmanship, feeling, and association. If a resource is considered significant based on the four criteria provided above and retains integrity, it is eligible for listing on the NRHP. When a cultural resource is added to the NRHP, it is automatically included on the California Register of Historical Resources (CRHR).
State
California Environmental Quality Act
The California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) specifies that a project may result in a significant impact to the environment if it would cause a substantial adverse change in the significance of a historical resource (CEQA Guidelines Section 15064.5[b]). A substantial adverse change in the significance of a historical resource would occur if a project would result in the demolition or alteration of a historical resource in a manner that adversely impacts the physical characteristics that convey a resources’ significance and that justify its eligibility for listing on the CRHR. For the purposes of CEQA, a resource is considered historically significant if it is:
a. Listed or eligible for listing on the California Register of Historical Resources; b. Listed or eligible for listing on the National Register of Historic Places; c. Included in a local register of historical resources, as defined in an historical resource survey meeting the requirements of Section 5024.1(g) of the Public Resource Code; d. An object, building, structure, site, area, place, record, or manuscript which a lead agency determines to be historically significant or significant in the architectural, engineering, scientific, economic, agricultural, educational, social, political, military, or cultural annals of California, provided the lead agency’s determination is supported by substantial evidence in light of the whole record; e. Meets the criteria for listing on the California Register of Historical Resources (Pub. Res. Code, Section 5024.1, Title 14 CCR, Section 4852).

California Register of Historical Resources
The California Register of Historical Resources (CRHR) is a guide to cultural resources that must be considered when a government agency undertakes a discretionary action subject to CEQA. The CRHR aids government agencies in identifying, evaluating, and protecting California’s historical resources, and indicates which properties are to be protected from substantial adverse change (Public Resources Code, §5024.1(a)). The significance criteria for determining eligibility under the CRHR is similar to the criteria outlined above for NRHP. The CRHR is administered through the State Office of Historic Preservation (SHPO), which is part of the California State Parks system.
California Historical Building Code
The California Historical Building Code, provided in Part 2.7 of the Health and Safety Code, Division 13, §18950 through §18962 sets forth alternative building regulations and standards to encourage the rehabilitation, preservation, restoration or relocation of historical buildings, structures, and properties determined to have importance to the history, architecture, or culture of an area. The use of the California Historical Building Code is not mandated but provides alternatives to property owners interested in retaining character defining features of their historic resources.
Archaeological Resources and Human Remains
Archaeological, paleontological, and historical sites are protected by state policies and regulations under the California Public Resources Code, California Code of Regulations (Title 14 Section 1427), and California Health and Safety Code. California Public Resources Code §5097.9 - 5097.991 require notification of discoveries of Native American remains and provides for the treatment and disposition of human remains and associated grave goods.
State Law requires that the County Coroner be notified if cultural remains are found on a site. If the Coroner determines the remains are those of Native Americans, the Native American Heritage Commission and a “most likely descendant” must also be notified.
Local
The City’s General Plan includes goals, policies and actions to minimize or avoid impacts to such resources.
These goals, policies, and actions are of the City of Newark And include policies LU-5.1 through LU-5.7 under GOAL LU-5 (Identify, preserve, and maintain historic structures and sites to enhance Newark's sense of place and create living reminders of the city's heritage).
The following discussion pertaining to impacts to cultural resources as a result of the proposed project is partially based on the information presented in the Historic Resource Assessment (HRA), dated June 17, 2022, prepared by Treonorhl for the project.
Impact Analysis
a. Would the project cause a substantial adverse change in the significance of a historical resource as defined in §15064.5?
The buildings on the site were constructed between 1964 and 1986. The 2022 Historic Resource Assessment (Appendix 3) includes an assessment and significance evaluation of the existing development on the site, consistent with the NRHP and CRHR criteria. In summary, the development on the site does not qualify as historic resource as described in the project HRA, June 2022. Therefore, Packet Page 323
City of Newark
Cedar Boulevard Residential Development Page | 42
the proposed project would not cause an adverse change in the in the significance of a historical resource as defined in §15064.5. NO IMPACT
b. Would the project cause a substantial adverse change in the significance of an archaeological resource pursuant to §15064.5?
The proposed project would involve grading and a possibility exists of an accidental discovery or recognition of archaeological resource; however, the project site is located in an urban area and has been previously disturbed with past development. Mitigation Measure CUL-1, below, would reduce impacts if there is the presence of undiscovered cultural resources associated with past prehistoric human occupation in the vicinity of the Project site. LESS THAN SIGNIFICANT IMPACT Mitigation Measure
CUL-1. During project construction, if historic, archaeological or Native American materials or artifacts are identified, work within 50 foot radius of such find shall cease and the City shall retain the services of a qualified archeologist and/or paleontologist to assess the significance of the find. If such find is determined to be significant by the archeologist and/or paleontologist, a resource protection plan conforming to CEQA §15064.5 shall be prepared by the archeologist and/or paleontologist and approved by the Community Development Director. The plan may include, but would not be limited to, removal of resources and similar actions. Project work may be resumed in compliance with such plan. If human remains are encountered, all ground disturbing activities near or in any area potentially overlying adjacent human remains shall cease, the County Coroner shall be contacted immediately, and the provisions of State law carried out.
c. Would the project disturb any human remains, including those interred outside of dedicated cemeteries?
No evidence available to the City suggests that human remains have been interred within the boundaries of the project site. The project site is located in an urban area and subject to decades of prior development. However, in the event human remains are discovered to be present during ground disturbing activities, the applicant would be subject to the California Health and Safety Code (HSC) §7050.5, which mandates the immediate cessation of ground disturbing activities near or in any area potentially overlying adjacent human remains and contacting the Alameda County Coroner. If it is determined by the Coroner that the discovered remains are of Native American descent, the Native American Heritage Commission shall be contacted immediately as required by the above stated permit condition of approval. Compliance with California HSC §7050.5, as required under state law, and performance of actions therein will ensure that in the event of accidental discovery of historically significant remains, all impacts will remain at levels below significance and would be addressed by the Mitigation Measure CUL-1 above.

Energy Setting
The State CEQA Guidelines recommend that the discussion of applicable energy impacts focus on whether the project would result in the wasteful, inefficient, or unnecessary consumption of energy. Efficiency projects that incorporate conservation measures to avoid wasteful energy usage facilitate long-term energy planning and avoid the need for unplanned or additional energy capacity.
Energy legislation, policies, and standards adopted by California and local governments are enacted and promulgated for reducing energy consumption and improving efficiency (i.e., reducing wasteful and inefficient use of energy). These include the California Energy Efficiency Standards for Residential and Non-Residential buildings (Green Building Code and Title 24).
The following analysis discusses consistency with legislation, policies, or standards designed to avoid wasteful and inefficient energy usage as the basis for evaluating whether the project would result in a significant impact related to energy resources and conservation.
Regulatory Setting
Renewable Energy Standards
In 2002 under Senate Bill (SB) 1078, California established a Renewable Portfolio Standard program with the goal of increasing the annual percentage of renewable energy in the State’s electricity mix by the equivalent of at least one-percent of sales, with an aggregate total of 20 percent by 2017. The California Public Utilities Commission subsequently accelerated that goal to 2010 for retail sellers of electricity (Public Utilities Code §399.15(b)(1)). Then-Governor Schwarzenegger signed Executive Order S-14-08 in 2008, increasing the target to 33 percent renewable energy by 2020. In September 2009, then-Governor Schwarzenegger continued California’s commitment to the Renewable Portfolio Standard by signing Executive Order S-21- 09, which directs the California Air Resources Board under its AB 32 authority to enact regulations to help the State meet its Renewable Portfolio Standard goal of 33 percent renewable energy by 2020. In September 2010, the California Air Resources Board adopted its Renewable Electricity Standard regulations, which requires all State’s load-serving entities to meet this target.
Senate Bill 350, signed into legislation in October 2015 by then-Governor Jerry Brown, requires retail sellers and publicly-owned utilities to procure 50 percent of their electricity from eligible renewable energy resources by 2030. Signed in 2018, SB 100 revised the goal of the program to achieve the 50 Packet Page 325
City of Newark
Cedar Boulevard Residential Development Page | 44
percent renewable resources target by December 31, 2026, and to achieve a 60 percent target by December 31, 2030. SB 100 also established a further goal to have an electric grid that is entirely powered by clean energy by 2045 i.e. zero carbon electricity by 2045. Under the bill, the State cannot increase carbon emissions elsewhere in the western grid or allow resource shuffling to achieve the 100 percent carbon-free electricity target.
2008 Energy Action Plan Update
California adopted the California Energy Action Plan in 2003, followed by the Energy Action Plan II in 2005.
The current plan, the California 2008 Energy Action Plan Update, is California’s principal energy planning and policy document. The updated document examines the state’s ongoing actions in the context of global climate change, describes a coordinated implementation plan for state energy policies, and identifies specific action areas to ensure that California’s energy resources are adequate, affordable, technologically advanced, and environmentally sound. The California 2008 Energy Action Plan Update establishes energy efficiency and demand response (i.e., reduction of customer energy usage during peak periods) as the first-priority actions to address California’s increasing energy demands. Additional priorities include the use of renewable sources of power and distributed generation (i.e., the use of relatively small power plants near or at centers of high demand). To the extent that these actions are unable to satisfy the increasing energy demand and transmission capacity needs, clean and efficient fossil-fired generation is supported. The California 2008 Energy Action Plan Update examines policy changes in the areas of energy efficiency, demand response, renewable energy, electricity reliability and infrastructure, electricity market structure, natural gas supply and infrastructure, research and development, and climate change.
Building Codes
Energy conservation standards for new residential and nonresidential buildings were adopted by the California Energy Resources Conservation and Development Commission (now the California Energy Commission (CEC)) in June 1977 and are updated every three years (Title 24, Part 6, of the California Code of Regulations). Title 24 requires the design of building shells and building components to conserve energy. The standards are updated periodically to allow for consideration and possible incorporation of new energy efficiency technologies and methods. On May 9, 2018, the CEC adopted the 2019 Building Energy Efficiency Standards, which took effect on January 1, 2020, and is the current building code.
The 2019 Standards improve upon the previous 2016 Standards. Under the 2019 Title 24 standards, residential buildings are expected to be about 7 percent more energy efficient, and when the required rooftop solar is factored in for low-rise residential construction, residential buildings that meet 2019 Title 24 standards would use about 53 percent less energy than those built to meet the 2016 standards.
Nonresidential buildings will use about 30 percent less energy than those built to meet the 2016 standards.
The proposed 2022 Energy Code update improves upon the 2019 Standards with the goal of 100 percent clean electricity and carbon neutrality by midcentury, or earlier, and focuses on four key areas in new construction of homes and businesses:
1. Encouraging electric heat pump technology and use
2. Establishing electric-ready requirements when natural gas is installed
3. Expanding solar photovoltaic (PV) system and battery storage standards Packet Page 326
City of Newark
Cedar Boulevard Residential Development Page | 45
4. Strengthening ventilation standards to improve indoor air quality.
The California Green Building Standards Code (California Code of Regulations, Title 24, Part 11), commonly referred to as the CALGreen Code, is a statewide mandatory construction code that was developed and adopted by the California Building Standards Commission and the California Department of Housing and Community Development. CALGreen standards require new residential and commercial buildings to comply with mandatory measures under five topical areas: planning and design; energy efficiency; water efficiency and conservation; material conservation and resource efficiency; and environmental quality.
CALGreen also provides voluntary measures (CALGreen Tier 1 and Tier 2) that local governments may adopt which encourage or require additional measures in the five green building topics. The current CALGreen Code was adopted in 2019 and took effect on January 1, 2020. The 2022 CALGreen Code will take effect in January 2023.
Impact Analysis
a. Would the project result in potentially significant environmental impact due to wasteful, inefficient, or unnecessary consumption of energy resources, during project construction or operation? The proposed project would be considered to result in wasteful, inefficient or unnecessary consumption of energy if it failed to comply with applicable regulations/policies and failed to incorporate applicable, feasible energy demand reduction/efficiency measures.
During construction, energy use would occur from the use and transport of construction equipment, delivery vehicles, haul trucks, and construction worker vehicles that would rely on petroleum fuels (e.g., diesel fuel and/or gasoline). There are no unusual project characteristics, which would require the use of construction equipment that would be less energy efficient than those commonly used for the construction of similar facilities. As such, it is not anticipated that the project would result in the need for additional capacity or increased peak-period demands for electricity during construction.
Therefore, the project is not anticipated to result in wasteful, inefficient, or unnecessary consumption of energy resources during project construction.
The project, when constructed, would be subject to energy conservation requirements in the applicable California Energy Code (Title 24, Part 6, of the California Code of Regulations, California’s Energy Efficiency Standards for Residential and Nonresidential Buildings) and CALGreen (Title 24, Part 11 of the California Code of Regulations). In that the project would be required to comply with the California Energy Code and CALGreen, it is not anticipated to result in wasteful, inefficient or unnecessary consumption of energy resources. Additionally, the project would be developed on an infill housing site identified as Opportunity Site “G” in the City of Newark Housing Element Update, 2015. Infill development is a strategy identified in the 2015 Housing Element to promote energy conservation. Therefore, the project is not anticipated to have a significant environmental impact due to wasteful, inefficient, or unnecessary consumption of energy resources, during project construction or operation.

b. Would the project conflict with or obstruct a state or local plan for renewable energy or energy efficiency?
As discussed above, the proposed project would be required to comply with energy conservation requirements in the California Energy Code (Title 24, Part 6, of the California Code of Regulations, California’s Energy Efficiency Standards for Residential and Nonresidential Buildings) and CALGreen Packet Page 327

(Title 24, Part 11 of the California Code of Regulations. These requirements implement State energy plans.
The City of Newark’s January 2010 Climate Action Plan (CAP), provides an initial framework can be regarded as the local plan for energy efficiency. The CAP does not incorporate any requirements but sets forth recommended action items where the overall plan for Residential Community action is to outreach, encourage and provide incentives, when possible, for accomplishing energy efficiency in residential buildings. The action items in the CAP are consistent with the goals of Title 24, which would be required to be implemented in the development of the project. As a result, the project would not conflict with or obstruct the City’s CAP. LESS THAN SIGNIFICANT IMPACT Packet Page 328

Geology and Soils Setting
Regional and Site Geology
The project site is in the San Francisco Bay area, which is one of the most seismically active regions in the country because of its proximity to the San Andreas fault system. The major active faults in the area are the Hayward, Calaveras, and San Andreas faults with the former two located to the northeast and the San Andreas fault located to the southwest of the project site. San Gregorio fault is also located in the area further away to the southwest of the site. However, the site is not within an Earthquake Fault Zone, as Packet Page 329
City of Newark
Cedar Boulevard Residential Development Page | 48
defined by the Alquist-Priolo Earthquake Fault Zoning Act10, and no known active or potentially active faults exist on the site.
Subsurface Conditions
To determine subsurface conditions of the site as part of a geotechnical subsurface exploration program, eight exploratory drill holes (DH-1 through DH-8) and three core penetration test (CPT) probes (CPT-1 through CPT-3), in locations shown in Figure-1 of the project’s geotechnical report (Appendix 4). A majority of the site includes a pavement section consisting of roughly 2 to 3 inches of asphalt concrete over roughly 4 to 6 inches of base rock at ground surface. Subsurface conditions between the exploratory drill holes and CPT probes are relatively varied. In general, stiff to very stiff and hard clay soils of intermediate plasticity underlain by sandy and sandy clay soils were encountered in exploratory borings; silty clay to clay underlain by silty sand to sandy silt followed by silty clay to clay comprises the interpreted soil behavior types in the CPT. Ground water was encountered at a depth of 10-11 feet below ground surface (bgs). As outlined in the project’s geotechnical report, historically high groundwater level at the site has been approximately 10 feet bgs.
Seismic Hazards
Fault Rupture
Fault rupture occurs when the ground surface fractures as a result of fault movement during an earthquake and almost always follows preexisting fault traces, which are zones of weakness. The proximity to faults can result in strong seismic ground shaking.
Ground Shaking
Ground shaking on the site would result from seismic activity at the San Andreas, Calaveras, Hayward and San Gregorio faults. Shaking intensity at the site will depend on the characteristics of the generating fault, distance to the earthquake epicenter, and magnitude and duration of the earthquake. Strong to very strong ground shaking could be felt at the site during a large earthquake from one of the nearby faults.
Liquefaction
Liquefaction is a phenomenon in which saturated granular soils and certain fine-grained soils lose their strength due to the build-up of excess pore water pressure during cyclic loading, such as from strong ground shaking during earthquakes. Soil with loose to medium dense sand and gravel, low-plasticity silt, and low plasticity clay deposits are susceptible to liquefaction. As such, the primary factors affecting soil liquefaction include: 1) intensity and duration of seismic shaking; 2) soil type; 3) relative density of granular soils; 4) moisture content and plasticity of fine-grained soils; 5) overburden pressure; and 6) depth to ground water.
The effects of liquefaction include lateral spreading, differential settlement, and loss of bearing strength.
As indicated in the project’s geotechnical report, the project site is located in a liquefaction hazard zone per California Geological Survey (CGS) Earthquake Zones of Required Investigation. 10 Alquist-Priolo earthquake fault zones are regulatory zones surrounding the surface traces of active faults in California.
Earthquake fault zones were conceived in the Alquist-Priolo Earthquake Fault Zoning Act (Alquist-Priolo Act) with the intent to reduce losses from surface fault rupture.
Packet Page 330
City of Newark
Cedar Boulevard Residential Development Page | 49
Landslides
Landslides may be triggered by earthquakes causing earth and debris flow along slopes. The project site is level and not in proximity to sloping terrain except that the Alameda County Flood Control and Water Conservation District (ACFCWCD) channel is located in close proximity to the site to its southeast. This channel is about 10 feet in depth and lined with Gabion type retaining structures on both banks.
Lateral Spreading
Lateral spreading is a phenomenon where surficial soil is laterally displaced by riding along an underlying liquefied layer in a downslope direction or toward a free face, such as a channel bank. Liquefactioninduced lateral spreading can also occur on mild slopes (flatter than 5%) underlain by loose sands and a shallow groundwater table. If liquefaction occurs, the unsaturated overburden soil can slide as intact blocks over the lower, liquefied deposit, creating fissures and scarps. The potential for lateral spreading in general mirrors the potential for liquefaction, and the depth of the liquefiable soil layers with respect to the creek banks.
As noted above, the project site is in proximity to the Alameda County Flood Control and Water Conservation District (ACFCWCD) channel located off-site to the southeast of the subject site. The top of the western channel bank is about 20 to 25 feet from the eastern property line of the subject project site.
Regulatory Setting
Federal
Earthquake Hazards Reduction Act
The United States Congress passed the Earthquake Hazards Reduction Act in 1977 to reduce the risks to life and property from future earthquakes in the United States through the establishment and maintenance of an effective earthquake hazards reduction program. To accomplish this goal, the act established the National Earthquake Hazards Reduction Program. This program was substantially amended in November 1990 by the National Earthquake Hazards Reduction Program Act, which refined the description of agency responsibilities, program goals, and objectives.
Paleontological Resources Preservation Act
The Federal Paleontological Resources Preservation Act of 2002 codifies the generally accepted practice of limited vertebrate fossil collection and limited collection of other rare and scientifically significant fossils by qualified researchers. Researchers must obtain a permit from the appropriate state or federal agency and agree to donate any materials recovered to recognized public institutions, where they will remain accessible to the public and to other researchers.
State
Alquist-Priolo Earthquake Fault Zoning Act and Seismic Hazards Mapping Act The Alquist-Priolo Earthquake Fault Zoning Act (Pub. Res. Code Division 2, Chapter 7.5, commencing with Section 2621) was passed in 1972 to mitigate the hazard of surface faulting to structures for human occupancy. The Alquist-Priolo Earthquake Fault Zoning Act’s main purpose is to prevent the construction of buildings used for human occupancy on the surface trace of active faults. The legislation only addresses the hazard of surface fault rupture and is not directed toward other earthquake hazards.
Packet Page 331
City of Newark
Cedar Boulevard Residential Development Page | 50
The Seismic Hazards Mapping Act (Pub. Res. Code Division 2, Chapter 7.8, commencing with Section 2690) was passed in 1990 and requires the State Geologist to designate Seismic Hazard Zones. These zones assist cities and counties in fulfilling their responsibilities for protecting the public from the effects of nonsurface fault rupture earthquake hazards such as strong ground shaking, earthquake-induced landslides, liquefaction, or other ground failures.
California and Uniform Building Codes
The California Building Standards Code (California Code of Regulations (CCR), Title 24) is the compilation of building codes adopted by the State. Title 24 incorporates the International Building Code, prepared as a widely accepted model building code by the International Code Council (ICC), and includes necessary California amendments. These amendments include standards for seismic design.
The purpose of the California Building Code is to establish minimum requirements to safeguard public health, safety, and general welfare, including standards for safety to life and property from fire and other hazards attributed to the built environment. Commercial and residential buildings are plan-checked by local city and county building officials for compliance with the California Building Code.
California Public Resources Code
Section 5097 of the Public Resources Code specifies the procedures to be followed in the event of the unexpected discovery of paleontological resources. Section 5097.5 of the Code states that no person shall knowingly and willfully excavate upon, or remove, destroy, injure, or deface any vertebrate paleontological site, including fossilized footprints, inscriptions made by human agency, or any other paleontological feature, situated on public lands, except with the express permission of the public agency having jurisdiction over such lands.
Local
City of Newark Building Code
The City has adopted the 2019 California Building Code by reference and it was amended through NMC Chapter 15.08. New construction or improvements are subject to the Newark Building Department’s review and approval.
City of Newark Grading and Excavation Code
NMC Chapter 15.50 sets forth rules and regulations to control excavation, grading and earthwork construction, including fills and embankments; establishes the administrative procedure for issuance of permits; and provides for approval of plans and inspection of grading construction. The City’s Grading and Excavation Code is administered by the City’s Public Works Department.
The discussion below draws upon the information presented in the Geotechnical Study, dated September 8, 2021, prepared by Geo-Logic Associates for the project.
Impact Analysis
a. 1. Would the project expose people or structures to potential substantial adverse effects, including the risk of loss, injury, or death involving rupture of a known earthquake fault, as delineated on the most recent Alquist-Priolo Earthquake Fault Zoning Map issued by the State Geologist for the area or based on other substantial evidence of a known fault?
Packet Page 332
City of Newark
Cedar Boulevard Residential Development Page | 51
The project site is not located in an Alquist-Priolo Earthquake Fault Zone. As indicated in the project’s geotechnical study, the closest fault to the project site is the Hayward fault, located approximately
2.5 miles to the northeast of the project site. There are no known active or potentially active faults that traverse the site. Therefore, the project’s geotechnical study concludes that the risk of fault rupture at the site from a known active fault is low. LESS THAN SIGNIFICANT IMPACT a. 2. Would the project expose people or structures to potential substantial adverse effects, including the risk of loss, injury, or death involving strong seismic ground shaking? As discussed above, Newark is in the San Francisco Bay region, which is one of the most seismically active regions in the United States, because of the region’s proximity to the San Andreas Fault system.
The major active faults in the area are the Hayward, Calaveras, San Andreas and San Gregorio faults.
As indicated above, the Hayward fault is approximately 2.5 miles northeast of the project site.
Therefore, the potential exists for a large earthquake to induce strong to very strong ground shaking at the site during the life of the project. The project’s geotechnical study anticipates that the proposed structures will be subject to at least one severe earthquake (magnitude 7 to 8+), and periodically experience small to moderate magnitude earthquakes. To reduce this potential impact to a level considered less than significant, Mitigation Measure GEO-1 is provided.
Mitigation Measure
GEO-1 . The applicant shall provide evidence that structural considerations for construction on this site include the design parameters listed under CBC Seismic Design Criteria, and recommendations of the project’s Geotechnical Study, dated September 8, 2021, prepared by Geo-Logic Associates dated September 8, 2021, prepared by Geo-Logic Associates, including, but not limited, to recommendations related to grading, drainage, excavation, foundations systems, and compaction specifications shall be implemented. Final grading plan, construction plans, and building plans shall demonstrate that recommendations set forth in the geotechnical reports have been incorporated into the final design of the project and the design of the post-tensioned slab foundations addresses potential settlements from building loads and liquefaction to the satisfaction of the City of Newark City Engineer.
LESS THAN SIGNIFICANT WITH MITIGATION INCORPORATED
a. 3. Would the project expose people or structures to potential substantial adverse effects, including the risk of loss, injury, or death involving seismic-related ground failure, including liquefaction? As noted previously, the project site is located in a liquefaction hazard zone per California Geological Survey (CGS) Earthquake Zones of Required Investigation. Geotechnical investigation undertaken for the project site indicates there are thin layers of potentially liquefiable soil underlying the site below depths of about 28 feet bgs. The analysis incorporated in the Geotechnical Report indicates that some of the subsurface soils are prone to liquefaction when subject to seismic shaking. The estimated liquefaction-induced total ground settlements are on the order of 1½ to 2¼ inches. The potential differential settlements would be on the order of 1 inch. To reduce this potential impact to less than significant level, the project’s geotechnical study indicates that the post-tensioned slab foundations recommended for the project can be designed to accommodate the potential settlements from building loads and liquefaction. Mitigation Measure GEO-1 would reduce this impact to a less than significant level.

a. 4. Would the project expose people or structures to potential substantial adverse effects, including the risk of loss, injury, or death involving landslides? The project is located in a level area of the City and is not adjacent to any hillside areas. The project’s geotechnical study performed a static and pseudo-static slope stability analysis to evaluate the stability of the ACFCWCD channel approximately 20-25 feet from the southeastern boundary of the project site. The analysis, detailed in the geotechnical study (Appendix 4) concluded that the potential for lateral spreading to affect the project site is low. Therefore, the exposure of people or structures to potential substantial adverse effects, including the risk of loss, injury, or death involving landslides is less than significant. LESS THAN SIGNIFICANT IMPACT
b. Would the project result in substantial soil erosion or loss of topsoil? Development of the proposed project will require site preparation and grading activities that will potentially result in soil erosion or the loss of topsoil if not properly controlled. However, ground disturbing activities on the project site will be expected to be carried out in accordance with the City of Newark “Grading and Excavation” regulations (NMC Chapter 15.50), administered by the City’s Public Works Department. The project’s grading and drainage plans shall be expected to demonstrate compliance with NMC Chapter 15.50 because of which the soil erosion or loss of topsoil impacts as a result of the project would be less than significant. LESS THAN SIGNIFICANT IMPACT c. Would the project be located on a geologic unit or that would become unstable as a result of the project, and potentially result in on or offsite landslide, lateral spreading, subsidence, liquefaction, or collapse?
The project’s geotechnical study indicates the subsurface soils at the project site can be generalized as alluvium. As discussed in section a, there is a potential for liquefaction when the site is subjected to seismic shaking with the estimated liquefaction-induced total ground settlements being on the order of 1½ to 2¼ inches. Per the project’s geotechnical study, the post-tensioned slab foundations of proposed structures can be designed to accommodate the potential settlements from building loads and liquefaction. With implementation of Mitigation Measure GEO-1 the proposed project would result in less than significant impact with respect to on or offsite landslide, lateral spreading, subsidence, liquefaction, or collapse as a result of its development. LESS THAN SIGNIFICANT WITH
MITIGATION INCORPORATED
d. Would the project be located on expansive soil, as defined in Table 18-1-B of the Uniform Building Code (1994), creating substantial risks to life or property? The near surface soil on the project site has intermediate plasticity that generally corresponds to moderate to high expansion potential. The project site is anticipated to be moderately expansive.
Expansive near-surface soil is subject to volume changes during seasonal fluctuations in moisture content. These volume changes can cause movement and cracking of foundations, slabs, and pavements. However, construction would occur pursuant to Mitigation Measure GEO-1, which require implementation of the recommendations in the geotechnical study for the project that would reduce the impact related to expansive soils to a less than significant level.

f. Would the project directly or indirectly destroy a unique paleontological resource or site or unique geologic feature?
Paleontological resources (fossils) are the remains of prehistoric plant and animal life and do not include of human remains or artifacts. The potential for fossil remains at a location can be predicted based on whether previous fossil finds have been made in the vicinity, and the age of the geologic formations.
The City of Newark is located within a westward sloping alluvial plane and is underlain by Holocene flood basin deposits and Holocene Bay mud, which are considered as too recent to qualify as fossils in a strict sense by many paleontologists.11 The project site is developed and previously disturbed.
Given the lack of paleontological resource discoveries in the City and the age of recent subsurface soils, it is unlikely that the project construction activities would directly or indirectly destroy a unique paleontological resource or site or unique geologic feature.

Climate Change and Greenhouse Gas (GHG) Emissions Setting Climate change is the increase in the average temperature of the Earth’s atmosphere and oceans along with other substantial changes in climate (such as wind patterns, precipitation, and storms) over an extended period of time. Changing climatic conditions pose several potentially adverse impacts including sea level rise, increased risk of wildfires, degraded ecological systems, deteriorated public health, and decreased water supplies.
Climate change is the result of numerous, cumulative sources of GHGs, gases that trap heat in the atmosphere, analogous to the way in which a greenhouse retains heat. Common GHGs include water vapor, carbon dioxide (CO2), methane (CH4), nitrous oxides (N2O), fluorinated gases, and ozone. GHGs are generated from natural geological and biological processes and through human activities including the combustion of fossil fuels and industrial and agricultural processes. Four main greenhouse gases that are emitted by human activities at the global scale are as follows:
• Carbon dioxide (CO2): Carbon dioxide enters the atmosphere through burning fossil fuels (coal, natural gas, and oil), solid waste, trees and other biological materials, and also as a result of certain chemical reactions (e.g., manufacture of cement). Carbon dioxide is removed from the atmosphere (or "sequestered") when it is absorbed by plants as part of the biological carbon cycle. • Methane (CH4): Methane is emitted during the production and transport of coal, natural gas, and oil.
Methane emissions also result from livestock and other agricultural practices, land use and by the decay of organic waste in municipal solid waste landfills. • Nitrous oxide (N2O): Nitrous oxide is emitted during agricultural, land use, industrial activities, combustion of fossil fuels and solid waste, as well as during treatment of wastewater. • Fluorinated gases: Hydrofluorocarbons, perfluorocarbons, sulfur hexafluoride, and nitrogen trifluoride are synthetic, powerful, fluorinated greenhouse gases that are emitted from a variety of industrial processes. Fluorinated gases are sometimes used as substitutes for stratospheric ozonedepleting substances (e.g., chlorofluorocarbons, hydrochlorofluorocarbons, and halons). These gases are typically emitted in smaller quantities, but because they are potent greenhouse gases, they are sometimes referred to as High Global Warming Potential gases ("High GWP gases"). These gases have greater heat absorption potential that CO2.

Cedar Boulevard Residential Development Page | 55
CO2 is the primary greenhouse gas emitted through human activities. While it is naturally present in the atmosphere as part of the Earth's carbon cycle (the natural circulation of carbon among the atmosphere, oceans, soil, plants, and animals), human activities are altering the carbon cycle both by adding more CO2 to the atmosphere, and by influencing the ability of natural sinks, like forests and soils, to remove and store CO2 from the atmosphere.
In 2019, CO2 accounted for about 80 percent of all greenhouse gas emissions from human activities in the United States. The main sources of CO2 emissions in the United States are from fossil fuel combustion in transportation, electricity generation, and industrial processes.
Regulatory Setting
Federal
The U.S. EPA has the authority to regulate motor-vehicle greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions under the federal Clean Air Act (CAA), pursuant to the ruling established by the U.S. Supreme Court in Massachusetts et al. v. Environmental Protection Agency et al. ([2007] 549 U.S. 05-1120). In October 2012, following the Supreme Court ruling, the U.S. EPA issued a Final Rule for mandatory reporting of GHG emissions. This Final Rule applies to fossil fuel suppliers, industrial gas suppliers, direct GHG emitters, and manufacturers of heavy-duty and off-road vehicles and vehicle engines, and requires annual reporting of emissions.
In 2012, the U.S. EPA issued a Final Rule establishing the GHG permitting thresholds that determine when Clean Air Act permits under the New Source Review Prevention of Significant Deterioration (PSD) and Title V Operating Permit programs are required for new and existing industrial facilities. The U.S. EPA may not treat GHGs as an air pollutant for purposes of determining whether a source is a major source required to obtain a PSD or Title V permit, pursuant to the U.S. Supreme Court in Utility Air Regulatory Group v. EPA (134 S. Ct. 2427 [2014]) ruling. The Court also held that PSD permits that are otherwise required (based on emissions of other pollutants) may continue to require limitations on GHG emissions based on the application of Best Available Control Technology (BACT).
The EPA’s Greenhouse Gas Reporting Program (GHGRP) requires reporting of GHG data and other relevant information from large GHG emission sources, fuel and industrial gas suppliers, and CO2 injection sites in the United States. Approximately 8,000 facilities are required to report their emissions annually, and the reported data are made available to the public in October of each year.
State
Executive Order S-3-05
Executive Order S-3-05 was signed by then-Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger on June 1, 2005, with the goal to reduce California's GHG emissions to: (1) 2000 levels by 2010, (2) 1990 levels by 2020 and (3) 80% below the 1990 levels by the year 2050.
Assembly Bill 32
The California legislature passed the California Global Warming Solutions Act in 2006 (Assembly Bill 32), which created a comprehensive, multi-year program to reduce GHG emissions in California. AB 32 required the California Air Resources Board (CARB) to develop a Scoping Plan that describes the approach California will take to reduce GHGs to achieve the goal of reducing emissions to 1990 levels by 2020.
Packet Page 337
City of Newark
Cedar Boulevard Residential Development Page | 56
The Scoping Plan was first approved by the CARB in 2008 and must be updated every five years. The CARB Scoping Plan, 2008, contained California’s main strategies to reduce GHGs from business-as-usual emissions projected in 2020 back down to 1990 levels. The First Update to the Climate Change Scoping Plan was approved by the Board on May 22, 2014. This update built upon the 2008 Scoping Plan, identified next steps for climate action in California, and laid the foundation for establishing a broad framework for continued emission reductions beyond 2020, on the path to 80 percent below 1990 levels by 2050.
Senate Bill 32
In 2016, the Legislature passed Senate Bill (SB) 32, which codifies a 2030 GHG emissions reduction target of 40 percent below 1990 levels. With SB 32, the Legislature passed companion legislation in AB 197, which provides additional direction for developing the Scoping Plan.
In November 2017, CARB issued California’s 2017 Climate Change Scoping Plan, which is an update to reflect the enacted SB 32 reduction target and identifies how the State can reach the 2030 climate target to reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions by 40 percent from 1990 levels, as set by Executive Order B 30-15 and codified by SB 32. Key features of this Plan are:
• Cap and Trade program places a firm limit on 80 percent of the State’s emissions; • Achieving a 50-percent Renewable Portfolio Standard by 2030; • Increase energy efficiency in existing buildings;
• Develop fuels with an 18-percent reduction in carbon intensity; • Develop more high-density, transit-oriented housing;
• Develop walkable and bikeable communities;
• Greatly increase the number of electric vehicles on the road and reduce oil demand in half; • Increase zero-emissions transit so that 100 percent of new buses are zero emissions; • Reduce freight-related emissions by transitioning to zero emissions where feasible and near-zero emissions with renewable fuels everywhere else; and
• Reduce “super pollutants” by reducing methane and HFCs by 40 percent.
The 2017 Climate Change Scoping Plan also describes how the State can substantially advance toward the 2050 climate goal to reduce GHG emissions by 80 percent below 1990 levels.
The CARB is currently in the process of developing the 2022 Scoping Plan Update, which will assess progress towards achieving the 2030 goals identified in Senate Bill 32 and will lay a path towards achieve carbon neutrality no later than 2045.
Senate Bill 375
Senate Bill (SB) 375, signed in August 2008, enhances the state’s ability to reach AB 32 goals by directing CARB to develop regional GHG emission reduction targets to be achieved from passenger vehicles for 2020 and 2035. In addition, SB 375 directs each of the state’s 18 major Metropolitan Planning Organizations (MPO) to prepare a “sustainable communities strategy” (SCS) that contains a growth strategy to meet these emission targets for inclusion in the Regional Transportation Plan (RTP). On September 23, 2010, CARB adopted final regional targets for reducing GHG emissions from 2005 levels by 2020 and 2035 to curb GHGs by reducing urban sprawl and vehicle miles traveled.

BAAQMD 2017 Clean Air Plan
As described under “Regulatory Setting” of the Air Quality Section, the 2017 Clean Air Plan, adopted by the BAAQMD on April 19, 2017, aims to attain State and Federal AAQS, eliminate disparities among Bay Area communities in cancer health risk from toxic air contaminants, and reduce Bay Area greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions to 40 percent below 1990 levels by 2030 and 80 percent below 1990 levels by 2050. The CAP contains 85 control measures that have been developed for stationary sources, transportation, energy, buildings, agriculture, natural and working lands, waste management, water, and super-GHG pollutants.
BAAQMD 2017 CEQA Air Quality Guidelines
As described under “Regulatory Setting” of the Air Quality Section, these guidelines contain instructions on how to evaluate, measure, and mitigate air quality impacts generated from land development construction and operation activities. The Guidelines focus on criteria air pollutant, GHG, toxic air contaminant, and odor emissions generated from plans or projects, and are intended to help lead agencies navigate through the CEQA process.
GHG impacts are considered to be exclusively cumulative impacts (BAAQMD, 2017b; CAPCOA, 2008) because vast majority of individual projects do not generate sufficient GHG emissions to directly influence climate change, However, physical changes caused by a project can contribute incrementally to cumulative effects that are significant, even if individual changes resulting from a project are limited.
Therefore, assessment of significance is based on a determination of whether the GHG emissions from a project represent a cumulatively considerable12 contribution to the global atmosphere.
The 2017 CEQA Guidelines include Thresholds of Significance where a project that would generate GHG emissions above the threshold level, would be considered to contribute substantially to a cumulative impact, and would be considered significant. The project level thresholds of significance for GHGs as incorporated in the current version of the CEQA guidelines are as follows:

BAAQMD released its Justification Report CEQA Thresholds for Evaluating the Significance of Climate Impacts from Land Use Projects and Plans (BAAQMD Justification Report) in April 2022. The BAAQMD Justification Report presents updates to the CEQA GHG thresholds from the 2017 CEQA Guidelines, which were not consistent with the statewide GHG target established by SB 32. The GHG thresholds of significance were updated to consider newer state reduction targets and plans for eventual carbon neutrality by 2045. The updated thresholds emphasize: (1) Avoiding wasting electricity and developing fossil fuel infrastructure in new buildings that will be in place for decades and thus conflict with carbon neutrality by 2045, (2) Compliance with CALGreen Tier 2 electric vehicle requirements and per capita VMT reductions consistent with SB 743, and (3) Consistency with a qualified greenhouse reduction strategy (also known as a Climate Action Plan).
BAAQMD’s new GHG thresholds of significance replace the 2017 thresholds for use in determining whether a proposed project will have a significant impact on climate change. These thresholds are contained in Table 7 below.
Table 7: CEQA Thresholds of Significance for Greenhouse Gas Emissions, Adopted April 2022 Thresholdsfor Land Use Projects (Must Include A or B)
A. Projects must include, at a minimum, the following project design elements:
1. Buildings
a. The project will not include natural gas appliances or natural gas plumbing (in both residential and nonresidential development).
b. The project will not result in any wasteful, inefficient, or unnecessary energy usage as determined by the analysisrequired under CEQA Section 21100(b)(3) and Section 15126.2(b) of the State CEQA Guidelines.
2. Transportation
a. Achieve a reduction in project-generated vehicle miles traveled (VMT) below the regional average consistent with the current version of the California Climate Change Scoping Plan (currently 15 percent) or meet a locally adopted Senate Bill 743 VMT target, reflecting the recommendations provided in the Governor’s Office of Planning and Research’s Technical Advisory on Evaluating Transportation Impacts in CEQA:
i. Residential projects: 15 percent below the existing VMT per capita ii. Office projects: 15 percent below the existing VMT per employee iii. Retail projects: No net increase in existing VMT
b. Achieve compliance with off-street electric vehicle requirements in the most recently adopted version of CALGreen Tier 2.
B. Be consistent with a local GHG reduction strategy that meets the criteria under State CEQA Guidelines Section 15183.5(b).
Source: Bay Area Air Quality Management District CEQA Thresholds Justification Report April 2022 BAAQMD has yet to update the CEQA guidelines (May, 2017) for applying these thresholds of significance and is currently in that process. Additionally, there is no proposed construction-related climate impact threshold at this time.
Local
The City of Newark’s Climate Action Plan (CAP) helps to identify and evaluate feasible and effective policies to reduce GHG emissions through a combination of public and private sector policies and programs. The CAP is consistent with the goals and policies in the General Plan and reinforces the principle of Packet Page 340
City of Newark
Cedar Boulevard Residential Development Page | 59
sustainability which underlies the General Plan. The City adopted the CAP in January 2010 with guidelines of reaching:
• A 5 % reduction from 2005 Municipal emissions levels by July 2012, • A 5% reduction in City and Community emissions by July 2015, and • A community-wide target of a 15% decrease from 2005 levels by 2020, which matches the State’s goals.
However, as noted above, the City of Newark CAP sets a regional target for the year 2020. The proposed project buildout would occur after 2020, rendering the CAP inadequate for CEQA tiering because it does not have a planning horizon that extends to the proposed project’s buildout date.
A report titled “Air Quality analysis, Air Quality, Greenhouse Gas and Health Risk Assessment”, dated September 2022, was prepared by ESA (Appendix A) for the project. The discussion below is partially based on the analysis presented in this report. However, the report includes an analysis of the greenhouse gas (GHG) impacts from the project, based on CEQA Thresholds of Significance for Greenhouse Gas Emissions incorporated in the 2017 BAAQMD CEQA Guidelines. Since environmental review on this project commenced after the adoption of the April 2022 CEQA thresholds of significance, those are the thresholds considered for project operations in the following discussion.
Impact Analysis
a. Would the project generate GHG emissions, either directly or indirectly, that may have a significant impact on the environment?
GHG emissions associated with development of the proposed project would occur over the long-term during the project’s operation as well as over the short term from construction activities, consisting primarily of emissions from equipment exhaust, and worker and vendor automobile trips.
Operational Emissions
As indicated in “Regulatory Setting” BAAQMD adopted CEQA thresholds in September 2022 that are outlined above, the proposed project would meet threshold option A for the following reasons: The proposed project would not include natural gas appliances or plumbing. The project will not result in any wasteful, inefficient, or unnecessary energy usage as discussed under the “Energy” section of this study. The proposed project would include electric vehicle (EV) hookups consistent with CALGreen Tier 2, and the average annual VMT calculated using CalEEMod defaults is 2,319,459. Based on the analysis incorporated in the project’s Traffic Impact Assessment (TIA), the project VMT would be 18.1 percent lower than the baseline, that being the average daily VMT for the City of Newark under existing conditions.
Construction Emissions
Neither the City nor BAAQMD have an adopted threshold of significance for construction related GHG emissions. However, BAAQMD recommends quantifying emissions and disclosing that GHG emissions would occur during construction. BAAQMD also encourages the incorporation of best management practices to reduce GHG emissions during construction where feasible and applicable. Many of the air quality-related mitigation measures can also reduce GHG emissions.

life after completion of construction. The amortized emissions were added to the project’s operational emissions13 estimated using CalEEMod for comparison to 2017 CEQA thresholds of significance for GHG emissions. Table 8 below presents these GHG emissions estimates. As shown in the table, the project’s GHG emissions do not exceed the BAAQMD GHG efficiency thresholds.

Air Quality & Greenhouse Gas and Health Risk Assessment, September 2022, ESA Additionally, the best management practices described in Mitigation Measure AQ-1 in “Air Quality” would serve to reduce GHG emissions during construction. LESS THAN SIGNIFICANT IMPACT b. Would the project conflict with any applicable plan, policy, or regulation adopted for the purpose of reducing the emissions of greenhouse gases?
The proposed project would not conflict or otherwise interfere with the statewide GHG reduction measures identified in CARB’s Scoping Plan, which are enumerated in the “Regulatory Setting” discussion above. The project would not result in the wasteful, inefficient, or unnecessary energy usage. For example, the project would be constructed in conformance with CALGreen and the Title 24 Building Code (which requires high efficiency water fixtures and water-efficient irrigation systems).
In addition, air quality mitigation measures require the use of electric equipment for project construction to the maximum extent feasible. Finally, the project would be a walkable community given the proposed pedestrian circulation network and would also be subject to local policies that may affect emissions of greenhouse gases.

Hazards and Hazardous Materials Setting
The Phase I Environmental Assessment, dated June 20, 2022, prepared by Ramboll US Consulting, Inc. (Appendix 5) identifies the project site historically as an open field reportedly used for livestock grazing until the Freitas Family, the current owners of the subject site, purchased it in 1959. Gradually over the next three decades, the subject site was developed with the current buildings. Various businesses including a paving company, automobile body and mechanical repair companies, and trucking companies have occupied the subject site.
The project site currently contains six warehouses occupied by various businesses, two garage structures used for the maintenance of trucks and construction equipment, and a small, one-story building, which is used as an office. The warehouse structures on the project site are surrounded by asphalt paved driveways while the garage structures are surrounded by asphalt and compacted gravel.

The project’s Phase I Environmental Assessment identifies “Recognized Environmental Conditions” (RECs), which are defined in the ASTM Standard as: “The presence or likely presence of any hazardous substances or petroleum products in, on, or at a property: (1) due to release to the environment; (2) under conditions indicative of a release to the environment; or (3) under conditions that pose a material threat of a future release to the environment.” As noted in the Phase I ESA, RECs do not include de minimis conditions, which are defined as property conditions that do not pose a threat to human health or the environment, and are not subject to enforcement actions by a regulatory agency.
The Phase I ESA analysis is based on a reconnaissance of the project site that included an inspection of the interior and exterior of existing structures, property grounds, and operational areas of the property, review of government databases and previous site investigations, and interviews with the site owner, familiar with current and historical use of the property. The Phase I ESA divides the project site into three areas for the purposes of the investigation, as shown in Figure 1, included in Appendix 5 and reproduced below.

Based on the Phase I ESA investigations, two area on the project site warrant discussion as described below:
38288 Cedar Boulevard: This address belongs to the property/building in the northwestern most portion of the project site. In April 1989, Environmental Bio-Systems, Inc. (EBS) removed 2,000-gallon gasoline and 1,000-gallon gasoline underground storage tanks (USTs) from an area south of the garage structure at this address. The USTs were removed under the oversight of the City of Newark Hazardous Materials Bureau. Remediation was conducted on site thereafter. In 2004, Alameda County Water District (ACWD) initiated a Leaking Underground Fuel Tank (LUFT) case, ACWD for this location and requested quarterly reports to investigate and remediate soil and groundwater. Additional subsurface sampling was conducted by Ramboll US Consulting, Inc. (Ramboll) at the site between 2015 and 2021 and Ramboll samples soil vapor wells. This portion of the project site is in the process of obtaining case closure. On June 2, 2022, ACWD issued a letter stating that case closure will be issued once two monitoring wells (MW-8 and MW-9) are destroyed and a final Case Closure Summary documenting the monitoring well Packet Page 344

As per the applicant, the case closure is expected in November-December of 2022. 38370 Cedar Boulevard: . This address identifies the location immediately adjacent to the southwest of 38288 Cedar Boulevard. In February 1989, EBS removed one 8,000-gallon diesel UST, one 5,000-gallon diesel UST, three 1,000-gallon gasoline USTs, and one 550-gallon gasoline UST from an area west of the garage structure at 38370 Cedar Boulevard. This address identifies the location immediately adjacent to the southeast of 38288 Cedar Boulevard. In 1999, ACWD initiated a LUFT Case for 38370 Cedar Boulevard, requesting quarterly reports to investigate and remediate soil and groundwater contamination.
Subsurface investigations and monitoring thereafter confirm that the impacts from the former USTs to groundwater at 38370 Cedar Boulevard is limited primarily to the former UST area and no migration has occurred since groundwater monitoring activities began in 1989. Only the upper shallow aquifer has been impacted and the lateral extent is limited to an approximately 2,500-square feet area, as shown in red on Figure 5. Groundwater remediation for this area is currently being implemented.
Regulatory Setting
The California Department of Toxic Substances Control (DTSC) defines a hazardous material as: “a substance or combination of substances that, because of its quantity, concentration or physical, chemical, or infectious characteristics, may either: 1) cause, or significantly contribute to an increase in mortality or an increase in serious, irreversible, or incapacitating illness; or 2) pose a substantial present or potential hazard to human health or the environment when improperly treated, stored, transported, disposed of, or otherwise managed.” Regulations governing the use, management, handling, transportation and disposal of hazardous waste and materials are administered by Federal, State and local governmental agencies, as described below
Federal
Federal agencies charged with regulating hazards and hazardous materials include the United States Environmental Protection Agency (USEPA) that is responsible for implementing laws and regulations to ensure safe production, handling, disposal, and transportation of hazardous materials. The Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) oversees administration of the Occupational Safety and Health Act and the U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT) has regulatory responsibility for transportation of hazardous materials between states as well as to foreign countries.
Resource Conservation and Recovery Act
The 1976 Federal Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA) and the 1984 RCRA amendments give authority to the EPA to control and regulate the generation, transportation, treatment, storage, and disposal of hazardous wastes. In addition to regulations for hazardous materials, the RCRA also sets forth regulations for the management of non-hazardous solid wastes.
Occupational and Safety Health Act
The Occupational and Safety Health Act of 1970 was adopted to ensure worker and workplace safety by requiring employers to provide to their employees a place free from recognized health hazards, such as exposure to toxic chemicals, excessive noise levels, mechanical dangers, heat or cold stress, and unsanitary conditions. The Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) is a division of the U.S.
Department of Labor that oversees the administration of the act and enforces standards in all 50 states.
Packet Page 345

Toxic Substances Control Act
The Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA) of 1976 provides the EPA with authority to require reporting, record-keeping, testing requirements, and restrictions relating to chemical substances and mixtures. The TSCA addresses the production, importation, use, and disposal of specific chemicals, including PCBs, asbestos, radon, and lead-based paint.
Hazardous Materials Transportation Act
The Hazardous Materials Transportation Act (HMTA) of 1975, as amended, is the basic statute regulating hazardous materials transportation in the United States. The purpose of the law is to provide adequate protection against the risks to life and property inherent in transporting hazardous materials in interstate commerce. This law gives the U.S. DOT and other agencies, such as the California Public Utilities Commission and the California Highway Patrol, the authority to issue and enforce rules and regulations governing the safe transportation of hazardous materials.
State
State agencies charged with regulating hazards and hazardous materials in the State of California include the California Environmental Protection Agency (Cal EPA), which is authorized by the USEPA to enforce and implement certain federal hazardous materials laws and regulations The California Division of Occupational Safety and Health (Cal OSHA) is the responsible agency for ensuring workplace safety. The California Department of Transportation (Caltrans) has the primary responsibility for enforcing federal and State regulations and responding to hazardous materials transportation emergencies. California Highway Patrol is responsible for assuring the safe, convenient, and efficient transportation of people and goods on the state highway system. California Public Utilities Commission (CPUC), which is responsible for overseeing railroad and rail crossing safety and the California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection (CAL FIRE), which provides fire protection services for over 31 million acres of California’s privately-owned wildlands, also known as State Responsibility Areas (SRAs).
California Code of Regulations
The following section includes a discussion of the various titles under the California Code of Regulations (CCR) pertaining to hazards and hazardous materials.
Title 3 pertains to the application of pesticides and related chemicals. Parties applying regulated substances must continuously evaluate application equipment, weather, treated lands, and all surrounding properties. Title 3 prohibits any application that would:
• Contaminate persons not involved in the application
• Damage non-target crops or animals or any other public or private property • Contaminate public or private property or create health hazards on said property Title 8 establishes Cal OSHA requirements for public and worker protection and includes topics related to materials exposure limits, equipment requirements, protective clothing, hazardous materials, and accident prevention. Title 8 also sets forth construction safety and exposure standards for lead and asbestos as well as fire suppression service standards ranging from fire hose size requirements to the design of emergency access roads.

The City’s General Plan incorporates several policies and actions for the protection of Newark residents and workers from the potential adverse effects of hazardous materials. These policies and actions are incorporated on pg. EH-34 to EH-37 of the General Plan and include Policies EH-4.1 through Eh-4.7 under Goal EH-4 (Protect Newark residents and workers from the potential adverse effects of hazardous Packet Page 347

materials). Action EH-4.J related to these policies and goals, requires a Phase I Environmental Site Assessment when a property is changed from an existing use to a more sensitive use (for example, industrial to residential). If potential hazardous materials issues are identified, their investigation and site cleanup is required to regulatory agency standards prior to development.
The City of Newark is also one of the 17 member agencies of StopWaste, a public agency responsible for reducing waste in Alameda County. A representative of each of the 17 member agencies: the Alameda County, all 14 cities in Alameda County and two sanitary districts, serve on the Alameda County Waste Management Authority Board (ACWMA), which is responsible for the preparation of the Alameda County Countywide Integrated Waste Management Plan (CoIWMP) and Alameda County Hazardous Waste Management Plan, prepared to develop and maintain hazardous waste management policies for the management of hazardous waste in Alameda County.
Discussion of the hazards and hazardous materials impacts of the project that follows is based on the information presented in the Phase I Environmental Site Assessment, dated June 20, 2022, prepared by Ramboll US Consulting, Inc. for the project.
Impact Analysis
a. Would the project create a significant hazard to the public or the environment through the routine transport, use, or disposal of hazardous materials?
The proposed project involves the development of 118 residential units, comprising of single family residences and duets on the 7.76 acre site upon demolition of the existing commercial/industrial buildings on the site. The operations of the proposed development would not involve the routine transport, use, or disposal of hazardous waste. Households typically have small amounts of cleaning supplies. These materials do not pose an elevated risk to public health and safety.
Additionally, the City works with StopWaste.org to educate residents about the safe use and storage of household hazardous waste and its rules and regulations for waste disposal. During construction of this building, there would be nominal amounts of hazardous material in the form of fuels and other construction materials, which are routinely used during construction processes. All such material would be handled and disposed of according to all legal requirements. Existing groundwater contamination issues are discussed under section d. LESS THAN SIGNIFICANT IMPACT b. Would the project create a significant hazard to the public or the environment through reasonably foreseeable upset and accident conditions involving the release of hazardous materials into the environment?
As stated above, the proposed project involves the development of 118 residential units comprised of single family residences and duets, on the 7.76 acre site upon demolition of the existing commercial/industrial building on the site. The operations of the project would not involve release of hazardous materials into the environment through reasonably foreseeable upset and accident conditions. The demolition on site would need to obtain a demolition permit for the removal of existing building on site, which would ensure that any asbestos, PCBs, lead paint and other potentially hazards associated with the building are disposed of properly. LESS THAN SIGNIFICANT IMPACT c. Would the project emit hazardous emissions or handle hazardous or acutely hazardous materials, substances, or waste within 0.25 mile of an existing or proposed school? Packet Page 348
City of Newark
Cedar Boulevard Residential Development Page | 67
The project site is within one-quarter mile of an existing pre-school (King Kids Preschool) located across Cedar Boulevard to the southwest of the site. The nearest school is Birch Grove Primary Elementary School approximately 0.38 mile generally to the south of the project site. The project proposed residential use and its operation will not be a source of hazardous emissions nor handle hazardous or acutely hazardous materials, substances or waste. LESS THAN SIGNIFICANT IMPACT d. Would the project be located on a site which is included on a list of hazardous materials sites compiled pursuant to Government Code Section 65962.5 and, as a result, would it create a significant hazard to the public or the environment?
The provisions in Government Code Section 65962.5 are commonly referred to as the Cortese List. A property is considered on the Cortese List if it appears on one or more lists or databases maintained by state regulatory agencies, including:
• Department of Toxic Substances Control (DTSC) EnviroStor Database (DTSC 2022) • DTSC List of Hazardous Waste Facilities Subject to Corrective Action (found in Section 25187.5 of the Health and Safety Code)
• State Water Resources Control Board (SWRCB) GeoTracker Database (SWRCB 2022) • SWRCB List of Solid Waste Disposal Sites (SWRCB 2016) • SWRCB List of Active Cease and Desist Orders and Cleanup and Abatement Orders.
Portions of the project site i.e. the properties as described in the “Hazards and Hazardous Materials Setting” above are included on these lists of hazardous materials sites as Leaking Underground Storage (LUST) sites. As a result, the project would create a significant hazard to the public or the environment and Mitigation Measure HAZ-1 is required to reduce this impact to a less than significant level.
Mitigation Measure
HAZ-1 Prior to the issuance of a grading permit, for any lot which overlaps or is within the boundary of the recognized environmental condition (REC) on the site, as validated by the San Francisco Regional Quality Control Board (SFRQCB) and Alameda County Water District (ACWD), the applicant shall provide evidence that demonstrates that the REC has been resolved to the satisfaction of the applicable regulatory agencies for future residential land use.
LESS THAN SIGNIFICANT WITH MITIGATION INCORPORATED
e. For a project located within an airport land use plan or, where such a plan has not been adopted, within two miles of a public airport or public use airport, would the project result in a safety hazard for people residing or working in the project area?
The project site is not located in an airport land use plan nor is it within two miles of a public airport.
The nearest airport, Hayward Executive Airport is located approximately 11 miles to the north of the Project site. Other area airports include, Palo Alto Airport, which is located approximately 16 miles southwest of the project site and Norman Y. Mineta San Jose International Airport, which is located further away at approximately 15 miles to the south of the Project site. NO IMPACT f. Would the project impair implementation of or physically interfere with an adopted emergency response plan or emergency evacuation plan?
Packet Page 349
City of Newark
Cedar Boulevard Residential Development Page | 68
The City of Newark has adopted two emergency response plans. The "Emergency Operations Plan” is the City’s primary plan which provides operational procedures for responding to a variety of emergency conditions, including earthquakes, flooding, tsunamis, hazardous material incidents, and civil defense conditions. The guidelines included in this plan address the needs of the entire community and identify key responsible agencies and personnel. The “Chemical Emergency Preparedness Supporting Plan” is the City’s second response plan, which establishes standard operating procedures for responding to a chemical spill or hazardous materials incidents within the City.
The proposed project entails the development of single family and duplex residential units on a site designated and planned for residential use in the City’s General Plan and is not altering the existing road network. Therefore, the project would not impair implementation of or physically interfere with the City’s adopted emergency response plan or emergency evacuation plan. Any construction related activity in any public rights of way would require an encroachment permit from the City’s Public Works Department, which would ensure that streets would remain open for emergency access. NO IMPACT g. Would the project expose people or structures to a significant risk of loss, injury or death involving wildland fires?
The project site is in an urbanized area of the City and is not in a wildland fire hazard area. According to State published Fire Hazard Severity Zone Maps, the project site is not located within any wildfire hazard zone. NO IMPACT

Hydrology and Water Quality Setting
The projectsite encompasses a 337,842 square feet (7.76 acre) area, which is almost entirely paved under existing conditions. The project site is relatively flat with drainage patterns characterized by flows in a general southern direction toward Cedar Boulevard from the north. Under existing conditions, storm water at the project site flows along the surface towards Cedar Boulevard along the site’s southwestern boundary where it enters the gutters on Cedar Boulevard that feed into the municipal storm water system.
An engineered flood control channel, owned and operated by the Alameda County Flood Control and Water Conservation District is located adjacent to the southeastern portion of the project site. There are no other water bodies on or in the immediate vicinity of the site. Plummer Creek is located 0.6 mile to the northwest of the subject site. The creek drains to San Francisco Bay, located approximately 4.0 miles southwest of the project site.

The City of Newark and consequently the project site is underlain by the Niles Cone Groundwater Basin, managed by the Alameda County Water District.
Regulatory Setting
Federal
Clean Water Act
The Clean Water Act (CWA) of 1977, as administered by the United States Environmental Protection Agency (USEPA), seeks to restore and maintain the chemical, physical, and biological integrity of the nation’s waters. The CWA employs a variety of regulatory and non-regulatory tools to reduce direct pollutant discharges into waterways, finance municipal wastewater treatment facilities, and manage polluted runoff. The CWA authorizes the USEPA to implement water-quality regulations. The National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) permit program under Section 402(p) of the CWA controls water pollution by regulating soil erosion and stormwater discharges into the waters of the United States. Under the NPDES program, all facilities that discharge pollutants into waters of the United States are required to obtain a NPDES permit. Requirements for stormwater discharges are also regulated under this program.
Federal Emergency Management Act
The Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) administers the National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP), in which participating agencies must satisfy certain mandated floodplain management criteria. The National Flood Insurance Act of 1968 established a standard that development should be protected from floodwater damage caused by the Intermediate Regional Flood (IRF). The IRF is defined as a flood that has an average frequency of occurrence once every 100 years. The 1968 Act made federally subsidized flood insurance available to property owners if their communities participate in the NFIP. A community establishes its eligibility to participate by:
• Adopting and enforcing floodplain management measures to regulate new construction; and • Ensuring that substantial improvements within Special Flood Hazard Areas (SFHA) are designed to eliminate or minimize future flood damage.
A SFHA is an area within a floodplain having a one percent or greater chance of flood occurrence within any given year. SFHAs are delineated on Flood Insurance Rate Maps (FIRMs) issued by FEMA. The Flood Disaster Protection Act of 1973 and the National Flood Insurance Reform Act of 1994 make flood insurance mandatory for most properties in SFHAs.
State
Porter-Cologne Water Quality Control Act
The Porter-Cologne Water Quality Control Act (Water Code Sections 13000 et seq.), enacted in 1969, provides the legal basis for water quality regulation within California. Any discharge of waste (liquid, solid, or gaseous) to land or surface waters that may impair beneficial uses for surface and/or groundwater of the State requires a “Report of Waste Discharge”. The Act predates the CWA and regulates discharges to waters of the State. Discharges of “waste” are prohibited and are defined more broadly than the CWA.
Packet Page 352
City of Newark
Cedar Boulevard Residential Development Page | 71
Discharges under the Porter-Cologne Act are permitted by waste discharge requirements and may be required even when the discharge is permitted or exempt under the CWA.
State Water Resources Control Board
California has an approved State NPDES program, and the California EPA has delegated authority to issue NPDES permits to the State Water Resource Control Board (SWRCB), in accordance with the PorterCologne Water Quality Act. The SWRCB, through its nine Regional Water Quality Control Boards, carries out the regulation, protection, and administration of water quality in each region.
In 1992, the SWRCB adopted the General Construction Activity Storm Water Permit (GCASWP) which is required for all construction activities where clearing, grading, and excavation will disturb one acre or more of land. The GCASWP requires all dischargers to:
• Eliminate or reduce non-stormwater discharges to storm sewer systems and other waters of the nation;
• Develop and implement a Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan (SWPPP); and • Perform inspections of stormwater pollution prevention measures (control practices).
The GCASWP authorizes the discharge of stormwater associated with activities from construction sites and prohibits discharge of materials which contain hazardous substances in excess of reportable quantities established at Title 40, Sections 117.3 or 302.4 of the Code of Federal Regulations unless a separate NPDES permit has been issued to regulate those discharges.
The GCASWP requires development and implementation of a Stormwater Pollution Prevention Program (SWPPP), emphasizing Best Management Practices (BMPs), which is defined as “schedules of activities, prohibitions of practices, maintenance procedures, and other management practices to prevent or reduce the pollution of waters of the United States.” The SWPPP has two major objectives:
• To help identify the sources of sediment and other pollutants that affect the quality of stormwater discharges; and
• To describe and ensure the implementation of practices to reduce sediment and other pollutants in stormwater discharges.
In addition, dischargers are required to conduct inspections before and after storm events and to annually certify that they comply with the General Permit.
Sustainable Groundwater Management Act
The Sustainable Groundwater Management Act (SGMA) of 2014 is intended to provide for sustainable management of groundwater basins and to locally manage groundwater basins while minimizing state intervention to only when necessary. Alameda County Water District (ACWD) is identified within SGMA as an agency created by statute to manage groundwater and deemed to be the exclusive local agency within its statutory boundaries, which include the City of Newark, to comply with SGMA.

Regional
San Francisco Bay Regional Water Quality Control Board
Regional Water Quality Control Boards (RWQCBs) are responsible for protecting beneficial uses of water resources within their regional jurisdiction using planning, permitting, and enforcement authorities. The City of Newark lies within the jurisdiction of San Francisco Bay RWQCB (Region 2) and is subject to the waste discharge requirements of the Municipal Regional Stormwater Permit (MRP; Order No. R2-2015- 0049) and NPDES Permit No. CAS612008, which was issued on November 19, 2015, and became effective as of January 1, 2016, as a permittee. Under Provision C.3 of the MRP, the City uses its planning authorities to include appropriate source control, site design, and stormwater treatment measures in new development and redevelopment projects.
Alameda County Water District
The Alameda County Water District (ACWD), the water service provider in Alameda County and Newark, has a ground water management policy for the Niles Cone Groundwater Basin with programs as outlined in Table 9 below.
Table 9: Summary of ACWD Groundwater Management Programs Groundwater Program Description
Water Supply Management Planning, managing, and optimizing ACW D’s sources of supply: watershed runoff, SWP water for recharge, SWP water for treatment, SFPUC water for blending, and water banking.
Groundwater Replenishment Operation of ACW D groundwater recharge facilities to optimize 1) capture of local runoff, 2) replacement of water extracted from production and ARP wells, and 3) maintenance of groundwater levels to prevent saltwater intrusion.
Watershed Protection and Monitoring Assisting in the protection and monitoring of the watershed to optimize the quality of runoff water available for ACW D water supply.
Basin Monitoring Sampling and measuring wells to assess and evaluate 1) groundwater quality, 2) water pressures within the basin, and 3) the direction of groundwater flow.
Wellhead Protection Program Identify sensitive recharge and groundwater areas, maintain an inventory of potential threats within these areas, assess the vulnerability of source water, and develop management
strategies to minimize the potential for groundwater quality impacts.
Aquifer Reclamation Program Pump brackish water from degraded aquifers in order to 1) increase useable basin storage, 2 ) improve overall water quality, 3) prevent movement of brackish water toward ACW D production wells, and 4) provide (future) supply augmentation through treatment to potable water standards.

The Engineering Division of the Newark Public Works Department is responsible for carrying out the City’s stormwater quality initiatives. This includes stormwater control requirements for businesses and new development in accordance with the provisions of NMC Chapter 8.36, Stormwater Management and Discharge Control regulations, among other functions.
Impact Analysis
a. Violate any water quality standards or waste discharge requirements or otherwise substantially degrade surface or groundwater quality?
Both project construction and operation could potentially impact water quality. Grading and other construction activities associated with the project would have the potential to cause soil erosion and increase sediment loads in stormwater runoff due to exposed or disturbed soil. Spills, leakage, or improper handling and storage of substances such as oils, fuels, chemicals, metals, and other substances used during various construction phases may also be collected in stormwater runoff and impact water quality of receiving water bodies. Upon construction, the project would include 223,885 square feet (5.14 acres) of impervious surface consisting of buildings and paving.
Project construction activity would disturb more than one acre of land and would therefore require the development and implementation of a Stormwater Pollution Prevention Program (SWPPP), emphasizing Best Management Practices (BMPs). As such, the project would be required provide stormwater treatment and obtain coverage under the General Permit for Discharges of Storm Water Associated with Construction Activity. In addition, ground disturbing activities at the project site will be carried out in accordance with the City of Newark “Grading and Excavation” regulations (NMC Chapter 15.50) and erosion control provisions which would minimize impacts to surface or groundwater quality. Therefore, the construction of the proposed project would not substantially degrade surface or water quality.
The proposed project also proposes more than 10,000 square feet of impervious surface area and would thus be subject to the NPDES C.3 requirements of the Municipal Regional Stormwater Permit.
This permit includes provision for new development and redevelopment projects. Provision C.3 requires source control, site design, and stormwater treatment measures to address stormwater pollutants and to and ensure that runoff does not exceed the rate and duration that of existing runoff.
Source control and site design features must treat stormwater runoff from all on-site impervious surfaces on site before it is discharged into the public storm drain system. In compliance with MRP C.3, the proposed runoff will be directed to stormwater treatment measures (bio retention areas) prior to discharging to the public storm drain system.
Additionally, the proposed project would be subject to the provisions of NMC Chapter 8.36, Stormwater Management and Discharge Control regulations. The provisions of this chapter implement the Alameda County Urban Water Runoff Clean Water Program and contain regulations intended to control and eliminate non-stormwater discharges to the City storm sewer and reduce pollutants in stormwater discharges. The proposed Project has been reviewed and approved by the City’s Public Works Staff to ensure compliance with these regulations and thus would not violate any water quality standards or waste discharge requirements. LESS THAN SIGNIFICANT IMPACT b. Substantially decrease groundwater supplies or interfere substantially with groundwater recharge such that the project may impede sustainable groundwater management of the basin? Packet Page 355
City of Newark
Cedar Boulevard Residential Development Page | 74
Development of the project site would not involve any groundwater extraction. The proposed project would include 10,887 square feet of landscape area including bioretention that would result in some groundwater recharge. Therefore, the proposed project would not impact groundwater supplies or recharge adversely and, thus, would not impede sustainable groundwater management of the Niles Cones basin. LESS THAN SIGNIFICANT IMPACT
c. Substantially alter the existing drainage pattern of the site or area, including through the alteration of the course of a stream or river or through the addition of impervious surfaces, in a manner which would:
i. Result in substantial erosion or siltation on- or off-site; ii. Substantially increase the rate or amount of surface runoff in a manner which would result in flooding on- or offsite;
iii. Create or contribute runoff water which would exceed the capacity of existing or planned stormwater drainage systems or provide substantial additional sources of polluted runoff; or iv. Impede or redirect flood flows?
The project would not substantially alter existing drainage patterns. Drainage from the project would be directed into bioretention areas and ultimately discharged into the existing public storm drain system. The project does not propose any alterations to the engineered flood control channel located adjacent to the southeastern portion of the subject site.
As discussed above, grading and ground disturbance for demolition and construction on site could potentially cause erosion. However, ground disturbing activities of the proposed project will be carried out in accordance with the City of Newark “Grading and Excavation” regulations (NMC Chapter
15.50) and the erosion control provisions herein. As indicated above, the proposed project would also be required to comply with the C.3 requirements of the Municipal Regional Stormwater Permit to ensure that runoff does not exceed the rate and duration that of existing runoff. Flood Hazard exists at the southeastern edge of the property where the engineered flood control channel is designated Zone AE (1 percent annual chance flood hazard contained in channel) on the Flood Insurance Rate Map (FIRM)14. However, the proposed project development would not interfere with this channel and would, thus not redirect or impeded flood flow. LESS THAN SIGNIFICANT IMPACT d. Would the project, in flood hazard, tsunami, or seiche zones, risk release of pollutants due to project inundation?
While the engineered flood control channel located adjacent to the southeastern edge of the site is in Flood Insurance Rate Map (FIRM) Zone AE, the project site is located in Zone X (zone of minimal flood hazard). The site is located inland and there are no large water bodies in its vicinity that would put it at risk from a tsunami or seiche (large waves generated in enclosed bodies of water in response to winds, changes in atmospheric pressure, underwater earthquakes, tsunamis, or landslides into the water body). The proposed project would not pose a risk of release of pollutants due to project inundation because of flood, tsunami, or seiche. LESS THAN SIGNIFICANT IMPACT e. Conflict with or obstruct implementation of a water quality control plan or sustainable groundwater management plan?

As discussed in Sections a. and b. above, the development of the proposed project would not entail groundwater extraction. The proposed project does not propose any wells on site, and would not involve the storage of hazardous waste on site. The project would be required to comply with the applicable water quality control plan. Although part of the water supplies of the ACWD are attributable to the Niles Cone Groundwater Basin, these supplies would not be substantially affected by the project, as discussed in section a. under “Utilities and Service Systems”. The proposed project would not adversely impact ground water supplies or recharge such as to conflict with or obstruct implementation of the applicable groundwater management plan.

City of Newark General Plan, 2013
The City’s General Plan contains land use policies, and actions for the purpose of avoiding or mitigating an environmental effect, which are more specifically as follows:
Policy LU-1.4 Coordinating Land Use and Transportation Decisions. Coordinate land use and development decisions with the capacity of the transportation system and plans for future transportation improvements.
Policy LU-1.17 Sustainable Development Emphasis. Ensure that new development incorporates green building and sustainable design principles and encourage renovation of existing development to use water and energy more efficiently[…]
Policy LU-2.4 Buffering from Transportation Facilities. Ensure that the design of new residential development near rail lines, truck routes, freeways, or major thoroughfares includes setbacks, landscape screening, and other provisions to minimize exposure to negative impacts such as noise and air pollution.
Action LU-1.B Environmental Review. Use established environmental review processes and programs to minimize the potential impacts of any new development to levels that are determined acceptable.
Action LU-1.D Minimum Densities. Set minimum residential densities in all areas designated on the General Plan Diagram for medium- to high-density residential use, and for mixed-use development. The minimum densities will ensure that this land supply is used as efficiently as possible and will help ensure that the city meets its adopted housing objectives.
Impact Analysis
a. Would the project physically divide an established community? As discussed above, the project site is located adjacent to I-880, at the northeastern edge of the City.
The site is bordered by Cedar Boulevard to the southwest with predominantly single family residential development across the street. Development to the northwest and southeast of the site is currently commercial/industrial, although these properties are designated medium density residential and could potentially be redeveloped for such purposes. The project site is contained between I-880 and Cedar Boulevard and the proposed development would not disrupt the established physical layout of the community as the proposed residential use is compatible with existing and envisioned uses in the area. The proposed project also does not involve installation of features such as new roads, aboveground infrastructure or any easement running through the existing community. As such, the project site would not divide an established community. NO IMPACT b. Would the project cause a significant environmental impact due to a conflict with any land use plan, policy, or regulation adopted for the purpose of avoiding or mitigating an environmental effect? Packet Page 359
City of Newark
Cedar Boulevard Residential Development Page | 78
The proposed project would be generally consistent with the General Plan and land use regulations established by the City of Newark, and with the zoning upon approval of the zoning amendment from Residential Medium Density (RM) to Residential Medium Density (RM) with Planned Development (PD) overlay.
The City certified an Environmental Impact Report (EIR) (State Clearinghouse No. 2013012052, December 2013) for the currently applicable General Plan Update in 2013. The EIR incorporating environmental impact review for the City’s current General Plan found that implementation of the General Plan would not conflict with an applicable land use plan, policy, or regulation adopted for the purpose of avoiding or mitigating an environmental effect. The proposed project would implement the General Plan in that it would be developed at a density allowed for this site by the General Plan.
