PREFACE
Section 21081.6 of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) and CEQA Guidelines Section 15097 require a Lead Agency to adopt a Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Program (MMRP) whenever it adopts a Mitigated Negative Declaration (MND) in conjunction with a project approval.
The purpose of the MMRP is to ensure compliance with the mitigation measures occurs during project implementation.
The Draft Initial Study/Mitigated Negative Declaration (Draft IS/MND) prepared for the proposed 100 38 th Street Project (proposed project) concluded that project implementation could result in potentially significant effects on the environment and mitigation measures were incorporated into the proposed project or are required as a condition of project approval that reduce these potential impacts to a less than significant level. This MMRP documents how and when the mitigation measures adopted by the lead agency will be implemented and confirms that potential environmental impacts are reduced to less than significant levels as identified in the MND.
This document does not discuss those subjects that the environmental analysis demonstrates would result in less than significant impacts and for which no mitigation was proposed or necessary.

XII. Noise
FEIR MM 3.10-1: Future projects shall incorporate project- specific mitigation measures to reduce the impact of
construction noise.
a.) As part of its discretionary approval and environmental review process for future projects, the City will require a noise and vibration construction activity minimization and mitigation plan for any multi-story development project located within a residential neighborhood, or located
adjacent to a residence, school, or hospital or other
sensitive receptor. The plan must address high-noise or vibration construction activities such as pile driving, and must address outdoor construction activities occurring
outside normal weekday business hours. The plan must
also address construction-related noise and vibration from current and concurrently with project-related construction activities to address potential cumulative noise and
vibration impacts. Excessive noise and vibration impacts from such construction-related activities (defined as noise and vibration impacts that would not occur from similar construction-related activities) shall be avoided or
minimized to the extent feasible, and high-noise or
vibration construction activities shall not occur during evenings or weekends adjacent to occupied residential
units.
b.) The City will compile and periodically update Best
Management Practices ("BMPs") for minimizing and
mitigating noise and vibration impacts from construction activities, for use as appropriate in noise and vibration plans required under MM 3.10-2(a) above.
c.) The City will consider and may adopt appropriate
modifications to the Noise Ordinance to establish criteria for construction-related noise and vibration impacts
during daytime weekday hours, and will consider and

include feasible conditions in building, demolition, and grading permits to avoid or minimize excessive noise and vibration from construction activities.
d.) This mitigation measure does not eliminate or supersede any other applicable legal requirement, including but not limited to the Noise Ordinance included in the Municipal Code.
This plan shall outline the project’s required compliance with General Plan Action SN4.E which requires
preparation of construction traffic plans that mitigate noise, traffic, and dust during construction. This plan shall also outline the project’s required compliance with Article
15.04.605.060 of the Municipal Code which limits general construction activities to weekdays from 7:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m., and limits pile driving and similar loud equipment activity to weekdays from 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m.
Implementation of this mitigation measure would ensure
that project-related construction noise impacts would be reduced to the extent technically and economically
feasible and would be less than significant.
XIII. Population and Housing
MM 3.2-2: Based on available U.S. Census or Association of Bay Area Governments (ABAG) data, the City shall track the
number of new jobs to determine whether new development exceeds the amount of development assumed in the General Plan EIR (22,488 jobs). City staff shall provide a report on the number of new jobs to the City Council annually and if the number of jobs approaches or exceeds 80 percent of the
number assumed in the General Plan EIR (9,950 jobs), the City shall prepare an update to the General Plan and General Plan EIR to assess the environmental effects of additional projected growth.
